multicross femDavis. Demiyah Oliver spent the last two years after the Digimon went back to their world drifting in a funk. Now on what should have been a vacation, Old frienmds reunite, new friends meet, and everything the Virtue Digidestined thought they knew about Taichi and Yamato'sm kohai, is out the window. musical

3. Chapter 3

Digimon Adventure 03: Magic, Mutation, and Beyond

Opening notes: In this Chapter we see some of Demiyah's misgivings and how she honestly felt about being left alone in a vision Kari has. I also delve a little into the Original Crystal Tokyo timeline.

(Arc 1 Theme Song: Clear: English Cover by Lizz Robinett)

From the birds to the wind

Demiyah is shown standing on a hill full of flowers.

Is there any way for me to begin

Demiyah pulls her D-3 out and sees the image of her Digimon Partner Veemon in front of her.

Soaring into the sky

Demiyah's hair is blowing in a gentle breeze as she sees a familiar blonde boy.

With no wings to fly

Demiyah drops her D-3 onto the grass and starts to move to pick it up.

I guess I'll walk my way into the sunrise

Four more hands move to pick it up for her.

I can do it right

Demiyah looks up to see Ventus, Vanitas, Aqua, and Terra. She tears up only for James Rogers, Francis Barton, Azari Munroe, Henry Pym jr, Torunn Thordottir, Ken, Sora, Riku, Roxas, Xion, Namine, and Kairi to appear behind them.

Going

Demiyah holds her D-3 in front of her heart. A smile on her face.

Going

The group moves to run down the hill.

Going

Everyone runs down the hill as there is a shimmer of sparkles.

Going on

The logo is shown in a burst of rainbow light.

Reality is always different than I thought it'd be

Demiyah is shown walking away from the Virtue Digidestined with Ken and their Digimon by their sides.

It's silly for me to ever think that it would end up perfectly

Demiyah rolls in her blankets only to fall out of bed. She pops up yawning.

There is a crystal clear spring

Her crystal glows brightly while feathers float around her.

Hiding within my heart

Orbs of white light float around Demiyah as images of the Arc are shown around her.

And I wouldn't dare to fill it with despair

Darkness seems to be covering the sky.

No matter how I feel

Demiyah holds her pink and silver Wayfinder to her heart as light glows.

I'll make sure just to fill it with happy things

Demiyah drops from the sky smiling as her friends free fall with her.

This feeling

Demiyah is shown in her school uniform walking to class.

This feeling

Demiyah sees Lance standing accross from her and blushes.

This new feeling is so far into me

Demiyah runs forward and shares a kiss with Lance.

I don't know how to feel

Lance returns her kiss and the two smile at each other after seperating.

It almost isn't even real

Demiyah looks down embarrassed. But Lance kisses her on the cheek.

And now my tears are falling

Demiyah cries tears of joy when she sees her friends and her surrogate siblings. All in their street clothes smiling happily.

From the birds

A white falcon and a pink crane fly above her head.

To the wind

The falcon and crane are joined in the air by a golden dragon.

Is there any way for me to begin

Demiyah is shown in front of a store looking in the window. Veemon standing next to her.

Soaring into the sky

Demiyah and her friends are seen riding on the backs of their digimon.

With no wings to fly

Demiyah jumps off of ExVeemon before landing in front of the shocked Virtue Digidestined.

I guess I'll walk my way into the sunrise

The sun rises as Demiyah turns away from the Digidestined and walks off.

I can do it right

Demiyah, Ken, Aqua, Terra, Ventus, and Vanitas are shown with their Digimon.

Going

Sora, Riku, and Kairi are show with their Digimon.

Going

Roxas, Namine, and Xion are shown with their Digimon.

Going

The Next Avengers are shown with their Digimon.

Going on

All of them are shown together in a group shot in front of the Castle of the Land of Departure.

Recap(Matt Holt) "Hi everybody, Matt here! Dang this is really getting crazy. First I find out my baby sister is a reincarnated princess. Then I find out her reincarnated twin sister was a Child Soldier! Damn I gotta hand it to Demiyah, she's stronger than I am. No way I could live with all that heartache like she does. Want to find out what happens next? Stay tuned and see!"

Arc 1 Chapter 3: A Surprising Couple, A Confession, and First Enemy Revealed:

The next morning, the Cyber Knights, Paladins, Alteans, Matt, the Mice, and Digimon were eating breakfast when Demiyah noticed Namine sneaking glances at Ken. Demiyah smiled as Pidge grinned at her soul sister following her train of thought. Torunn giggled along with Kairi.

Namine was walking around outside the castle. She was thinking about Ken. About how she felt about the Child of Kindness. Pidge went up to her and said, "Namine you need to come inside. Sailor Pluto wants to show us something." The group was sitting in the Castle Lounge as Pluto said, "I am so glad this timeline was created. The previous one, when I actually had a few hours to look it over made me sick! Endymion turned Crystal Tokyo into a dictatorship worse than the Galra Empire that hid under the guise of a monarchy. It also explained why Neo Queen Serenity only had one child with him. Of course she had other children. Only they were born from an affair." Lance asked, "With who?" Pluto smirked, "You Lance. Demiyah's future self in that timeline found out the truth. Until she could get enough supporters she couldn't get rid of Endymion. However, at first he played along with her desire to find Katie." Pluto showed the group an image of Crystal Tokyo before the scouts and Queen returned to their proper places. Aqua asked, "What is that?" Pluto replied, "Crystal Tokyo. Before your sisters and Demiyah went to their palaces to rule as Queens. In that timeline, Demiyah never became a Digidestined.*"

(Insert song: A Rumor In St. Petersburg)

Sora Takenouchi: Crystal Tokyo is gloomy

Kari Kamiya: Crystal Tokyo is bleak

Hobo: My underwear got frozen standing here all week

People: Oh since the Keyblade War

Our lives have been so gray!

Thank goodness for the gossip

That gets us through the day!

Hey

Have you heard

There's a rumor in Crystal Tokyo

Have you heard

What their saying on the street

Colonnello: Although the Queen did not survive

One daughter may be still alive

People: The Princess Katerina

Fon: But please do not repeat

People: It's a rumor, a legend, a mystery

Something whispered in an alleyway

Or through a crack

It's a rumor that's part of our history

Mimi Tachikawa: They say our dear Neo Queen

Will pay a royal sum

People: To someone who can bring her sister back!

Marcus Damon: 20000 yen for this painting

It's Moonview I swear!

Yoshino Fujieda: Queen Serenity's pajamas comrades

By the pair!

Ren Tobari: I got this from the palace

It's lined with real fur

It could be worth a fortune

People: If it belonged to her

The group saw an older Keith and Lance walking down the street. Keith buying the jacket from the vendor. Pluto said, "Endymion made it very difficult for Galrans even part Galrans like Keith to get a job. So he worked among the criminal underground.*"

Keith: It's the rumor

The legend

The mystery

It's the Princess Katerina who will help us fly

You and I friend

Will go down in history

We'll find a girl to play the part

And teach her what to say

Dress her up and take her to Paris!

Imagine the reward our dearest Neo Queen will pay

Who else could pull it off but you and me!

We'll be rich!

Lance: We'll be rich!

Keith: We'll be out!

Lance: We'll be out

Keith and Lance: And Crystal Tokyo will have some more to talk about!

People: Shh

Have you heard

There's a rumor in Crystal Tokyo

Have you heard

What their saying on the streets?

Hey

Hey

Hey

Have you heard

There's a rumor in Crystal Tokyo

Have you heard

Comrades what do you suppose

A fascinating mystery

Keith: The biggest con in history!

People: The Princess Katerina

Alive or dead?

Ken Ichijouji: Who knows?

Shhh

(End song)

Pidge asked, "Pluto, did they find me in that timeline?" The time keeper shook her head. "Unfortunately not Katie. Not even Keith and Lance could pull it off." Matt asked, "Then what happened?" Pluto said, "Katie kept dreaming of the Moon Kingdom and had even ran into Demiyah's future self a few times. But never once could she remember. I only found out it was because of Endymion's magic that you didn't remember."

(Insert Song: Once Upon A December)

The song opened at a theater where Katie was ballet dancing.* But she stopped when the Manager left telling her not to stay too late.

Katie: Dancing bears

Painted wings

Things I almost remember

And a song someone sings

Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm

Horses prance through a silver storm

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory

As music played Katie danced using beautiful and graceful ballet moves. Images of the ball the night the Silver Millennium fell appeared around her.

Katie: Someone holds me safe and warm

Horses prance through a silver storm

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory

Far away

Long ago

Glowing dim as an ember

Things my heart used to know

Things it yearns to remember

And a song someone sings

Once upon a December

(End song)

Demiyah hugged Pidge as her alternates song ended. She said to her soul sister, "We're together now. That timeline doesn't matter anymore. Our future does." Keith kissed Pidge and said, "She's right. Endymion's reign will never come. We'll find a way to keep it from happening." Pluto said, "That's good. Because Inoue's General wants to revive Endymion. However he needs the youngest Moon Princess, Princess Rhiannon. He also needs both the Ladybug and the Black Cat Miraculous. Finally he would need the eight Arcobaleno Pacifiers." Lance stood next to Keith and asked, "Who is Inoue's General Pluto?" Pluto said, "He calls himself Checkerface. His real name is Yuzen Kawahira. First though, your first Enemy is IceDevimon and his human partner Otchayanie. Her name is Bulgarian. It means Despair." Demiyah's eyes widened, "The part of the Prophecy about Despair involves this girl and her IceDevimon. Doesn't it Pluto?" Pluto nodded.

Pidge said, "Then we train. If James and Pym are the ones who defeat them we have got to help them and their digimon!" Shiro said, "I agree. We're all fighting for the same future in the end." Hunk had a sudden thought, "If you hated Endymion even in this life why did your alternate marry him Demiyah?" Said girl gave Pluto a Look as the viridian haired woman sighed and said, "Luna, Demiyah's feline advisor forced her to date Endymion's reincarnation. Even made her use the Luna Pen to look older in order to pass off the police.*" She used her staff to open another viewing portal.

(Scene: Demiyah and Luna talking about Endymion/her future)

Luna

Demiyah

"I don't see why I have to be in a relationship with Darien Luna. He's waaaaay too old for me. He's old enough to be my father almost! For Pete's sake, you berate the other girls about not dating anyone, and you get on my case to go out with Darien. How hypocritical are you?"

"Don't use that tone of voice with me young lady! I am only insuring that you get your proper Kingdom and the right titles."

"And that's another thing. Why do I have to become a Queen? What if I choose, not to do it?"

Luna clawed Demiyah hard enough to draw blood. "You listen and you listen well you spoiled little brat. You have no say in your future anymore. You will become Queen and you will be greatful for it. Or so help me I will let Mars kill you and take the Crystal."

(End Scene)

Lance was fumming mad, "So she threatened you and forced you to be in a relationship that you clealy didn't want. Just so she could have a puppet queen?" Demiyah nodded. Pluto smirked, "It was pretty stupid she managed to get caught calling Xehanort by Demiyah. Mina was reasonable about keeping Luna in a specially spelled cat carrier while waiting on the diginitaries from Mau to retrieve Luna."

(Scene: Mina and Demiyah's talk)

Mina

Demiyah

"Thaks a lot for coming over on such short notice Mina."

"It's no problem Princess Demiyah."

"So I'm 'Princess Demiyah' am I?"

Mina laughed, "Well you hate it when Luna calls you Princess Serenity. So Princess Demiyah will suffice as a substitute."

"Luna is who I wanted to talk to you about today Mina."

"Let me guess. She's saying you have to be with Endymion. And that you have to become a Queen."

Demiyah nodded, "She said if I didn't then she'd have Sailor Mars kill me and take the Crystal."

Mina shook her head, "She can't do that. The fact she threatened you means she forswore her oath. As Princess, you can call Mau to have her arrested on treason charges. Since she hasn't once taught you anything."

"Can Artemis tell me how to use my communicator to do that?"

The cat in question did so and the two girls were off to Briarwood to retieve an inescapable cat carrier.

(End Scene)

Kairi looked at her soul sister's memory, "At least Mina was responsible. And had a calm head on her shoulders." Pluto chuckled, "I know. Last I knew the gods were debating giving the girls save for Raye a new chance at life. They won't be the scouts they were anymore as that falls to you, but they can still be part of the royal court when it comes time for the new Crystal Tokyo. Which is far more nicer than the last one."

Pluto uses her staff to open a new viewing portal.

Through it they see Demiyah and Pidge sitting on thrones looking bored. Iverson berating them and complaing. All before Pidge stands up and clocks Iverson who was telling them off for ordering random inspections at Galaxy Garrison. Pidge motions for Shiro to take Iverson to the prison cells until he can 'act like an adult' instead of a spoiled brat.* The fact Pidge called Iverson out made Demiyah's older self laugh. Lance dressed in his Paladin armor along with Keith in his Paladin armor walk up to their respective wives and kiss them. Before Matt walks in with a little pink haired girl and a little girl with violet hair and honey brown eyes. The pink haired girl had Lance's ocean blue eyes and her hair was a lighter pink from Demiyah's. Lance's older self said, "There's my beautiful little girl and her gorgeous mother." The pink haired girl giggled as Lance's older self picked her up. The violet haired girl was held by Keith's older self. He kissed Pidge's older self on the lips and said to little girl in his arms, "Did you have a good day at school Kaede?" The little girl, Kaede said, "Yes daddy. Me and Rini both got A's on our tests." Lance said to the pink haired girl, "You both did Rini?" Rini, the pink haired girl nodded as Demiyah said, "Atta girl! I'm very proud of you." Pidge held her daughter in her arms and said, "I'm proud of you too Kaede. You girls are wonderful to have as children." Matt hugged Pidge as the scene changed to Allura entertaining coutiers who enjoyed the Altean woman's company.

Once the portal closed, Demiyah looked conflicted. She seemed to be thinking hard about something. Pidge asked worried, "Demiyah, what's up?" Said raspberry haired girl looked tense as she said to Sailor Pluto, "Trista, I want you to show them that." Sailor Pluto looked shocked as she asked, "Demiyah, are you sure?" Demiyah nodded, "They trust me with their secrets and shortcomings. Despite knowing most of them a few days Digital World time. I think it's only fair I trust them in the ways they trust me." Pluto nodded as she used her staff to open a new temporal window. Lance asked, "What are we watching now?" Demiyah replied, "In a nutshell the crap I was forced to deal with."

Images were shown of her battles as Sailor Moon. Most of the time Mars was telling her off or yelling at her. While all her solo fights showed how banged up she got every night. Some of the fights showed her with several bruises, cuts, gashes, and more than one broken bone. Her battles as a Ranger were just as bad if not worse. Especially her first couple of months. How many times she was coughing up her own blood after Zeltrax beat her or experimented on her. In Stryker's facility she was put under several experiments that left her broken and bleeding. Every single solo battle she and Wild Blaze fought in the Digiworld. Even the worse ones when Arukenimon was sending Control Spire digimon at them.

Aqua, Terra, Ventus, and Vanitas were in tears. Pidge was sobbing brokenly in her brothers arms. Ken dropped down to his knees in pure and absolute shock. Pym summed up what everything was thinking, "Son of a bitch! No wonder your so stoic Miya. Your a broken soldier." Demiyah looked at her team, her family. They all finally saw the battle hardened, war torn, broken soldier she actually was the whole time. Lance hugged her close to him, comforting his girlfriend in the only way he knew how. Pidge had tears running down her cheeks as she clung to Matt. Who had tremors of shock and sadness going down his spine. Wild Blaze walked out of the castle lounge snarling several choice profanities under his breath.

(In the Real World)

Hikari 'Kari' Kamiya looked at her brother in shock. How could he tell them to leave Demiyah alone? What was it he knew about her they didn't know already? Of course, Taichi didn't know the truth about Demiyah. None of them save for Ken, Cody, and Mimi bothered to get to know Demiyah outside of the bare basics. Taichi looked over to Mimi. She ended up discovering Demiyah's past when she went over for a weekend sleepover and found out about it from Demiyah's insomnia. Joe didn't know, but only because he asked her not to say. Telling Demiyah the only thing he cared about was the future that hadn't come yet. The future that everyone around the world was creating. Ken probably knew the truth. He was the closest one to Demiyah. Cody found out by accident when Demiyah had a panic induced flashback when they went to Akihabara for a day. Taichi didn't know yet, but he preferred to let Demiyah tell him when she felt ready. Willis was Demiyah's adopted cousin. So everyone in her immediate family knew the truth. Yamato hadn't found out, but he could put two and two together. His Crest was Friendship. It gave him a degree of Empathy. He could tell that Demiyah had psychological problems.

Kari walked down a path as her brown hair fluttered in the wind. She gingerly held her pink D-3 in her hand said, "I wish...I wish I could understand." Holding her Digivice in her hand she fell asleep as she dreamt.

(Dream)

Kari was floating as she saw images of Demiyah calling each of them. Noting the sadness of every rejection to hang out. "I guess it's another night alone. Mom and Dad have PTA meetings tonight and won't be home until later. Now what do I want to eat?" She ordered a Pizza and had dinner. She sat on her cedar chest strumming an acoustic guitar that was light pink with a blue star patterned strap on it and started to sing.

Demiyah: You don't know my name

You don't know anything about me

I try to play nice

I want to be in your game

The things that you say

You may think I never hear about them

But word travels fast

I'm telling you to your face

I'm standing here behind your back

You don't know how it feels

To be outside the crowd

You don't know what it's like

To be left out

And you don't know how it feels

To be your own best friend

On the outside looking in

If you could read my mind

You might see

More of me than meets the eye

And you've been all wrong

Not who you think I am

You've never given me a chance

You don't know how it feels

To be outside the crowd

You don't know what it's like

To be left out

And you don't know how it feels

To be your own best friend

On the outside looking in

I'm tired of staying at home

I'm bored and all alone

I'm sick of wasting all my time

You don't know how it feels

To be outside the crowd

You don't know what it's like

To be left out

And you don't know how it feels

To be your own best friend

On the outside looking in

You don't know how it feels

To be outside the crowd

You don't know what it's like

To be left out

And you don't know how it feels

To be your own best friend

On the outside looking in

Kari had tears in her eyes as she realized how exactly everyone had treated her. How she treated Demiyah! All she wanted was to spend time together, to still be friends. But Kari was so preocupied with her fame, that she couldn't be bothered to return a single phone call or make time for her leader.

(End dream)

Kari snapped awake as she was breathing hard. She stalked off looking for Demiyah. She had to get confirmation of what she saw. Not knowing she'd blow it off as a bad dream when reunited with Gatomon.

Ending Notes:

Th fact Demiyah didn't become a Digidestined: In the current timeline, Demiyah's family moved because they wanted her to have a new start. In the Original, Demiyah didn't lose her Scouts or Endymion. So she had no reason to move away. No I will not say who it was who saved the East Quadrant. Unless I choose to expand on that timeline. Which isn't likely to happen.

Keith working in the underground: Endymion was a predjudice guy and hated Galrans despite the Blade of Marmora doing their part to fight against the Empire.

Katie/Pidge ballet dancing: She's very athletic despite not really doing these sort of things. So in this story her mom signed her up for ballet.

Iverson being locked up: Demiyah and Pidge are his rulers in the future. They won't tolerate a grown man telling them off like their five year olds who can't understand him. When he or others can be resonable and speak calmly they will listen.

Next chapter preview(Riku): "Hey guys, it's Riku. Next time, James and Pym defeat an the evil Digidestined mentioned in the prophecy. We also party back at camp. The Digidestineds also reunite with their digimon. Demiyah has a nice moment with Katie and takes advice Lance gives her about singing. Stay tuned for the next chapter of Digimon Adventure 03: Magic, Mutation, and Beyond: First Enemy Defeated, Reunion of the Digidestined, and Sisterhood Cemented. See ya there!"
