Episode 13: Training Battles
Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar the Last Air Bender, Ben 10, Digimon, Negima, Naruto, and Sailor Moon. I do own the main villain of the story Kamen Rider Chaos as well as Sailor Sun and I'm going to be doing each chapter as if it's an in canon episode otherwise if I do what I did in Shooting Star Warrior Pegasus, it maybe a long volume with the only exception being the prologue.
The next morning arrived and the Guardian Seekers stood outside of their tent looking at a very strange beach. Sure it looked like any other beach with the ocean's waves rushing on the shoreline, yet someone had literally created a battlefield on it. It didn't take them long to figure out that the someone that did was Discord for Discord himself was waiting for them in the center of it dressed in a referee's uniform. The group was confused as to why Discord did this. Sensing this Discord took his time to explain "You all have been on a semi-losing streak. Sure you managed to prevent Chaosbringer from taking the city his forces were attacking but in reality he played you like a fool getting Becon Academy and all of it's surrounding areas as breeding grounds for the Chaos Gods. Technically while you've defeated Team RWBY you were all forced to retreat when dealing with Evangeline. Lastly last night you were all defeated by Piedmon, the only way you had a slight victory was when Sailor Saturn managed to take the key chain forms of Professor Paradox and Azmuth away from Piedmon."
Ben shook his head muttering "Thought you were the type not to worry about defeats."
"Oh that's the thing Tennyson I'm not worried about your defeats as a team. Defeats are going to happen it's not like in a video game where you expect yourself to be always the victor. It's the manner of how you were beaten. In the first example it was Chaosbringer just outplaying you there was nothing we could've done at that time to prevent his takeover of what he was truly after. The Evangeline one again he was testing you against Team RWBY but you failed against Evangeline whom forced you to retreat. Then with Piedmon...The fact of the other two defeats were those two were coming at you with intent to finish you off. Sure they were testing your reserves as heroes but at the same time...They were out for your blood and lives only allowing you to retreat when you showed your reserves for the current mission. In all out you were all flattened and tossed aside."
"He's right" Aang sighed "It's like Chaosbringer is predicting all of us to act the way we do."
"He does have Tzeetnch on his side" Hinata reminded the Avatar "So perhaps Tzeetnch is giving him far greater insight to things."
"Or it's how he was raised" Hotaru warned "Perhaps these leaders of Warriors of Chaos are smart tacticians."
"Or both could be the possible explanation" Negi remarked.
"He's right" Zoe admitted "Perhaps it's the downright Chaosbringer has Tzeentch and he's the a clever technician that we've been on the slightly losing side lately."
Ben shook his head "What Discord says is true, we have been on the losing side lately but we've also been stopping his forces...Well sort of. Against his most dangerous allies like Evangeline and Piedmon we were no match...Still Discord we were supposed to be on our way to see Thomas. We have a map for him."
"Oh you Guardian Seekers need to chill out a bit. It's true Thomas is the key to figuring out the map but I insist you need this training!"
"Training?!" was the surprised response of the Guardian Seekers.

Discord let the Guardian Seekers question on training linger for a while. They were all not expecting this. Was their current losses that bad that it warranted training? The only member of the Guardian Seekers that didn't mind it was Hinata. To the kunoichi training was something Naruto enjoyed doing in fact she at times thought about training herself after it it often helped on missions. So she was curious on what training Discord had in mind. In fact she asks him "What training do you have in mind Discord-Sensei?"
Discord smiled snapping to it acting as if he truly was a teacher "So glad you asked Hinata! Guardian Seekers your ears didn't deceive you. What you are seeing is your training grounds. I know this isn't completely like me to give you training but with the recent developments especially how you were defeated this needs to be done. Daily you are to face off against each other in one-on-one match ups in sparring sessions!"
"Doesn't seem so bad" Aang admitted after a while "Training can help the body out after all."
Discord looked at Aang "Correct, it helps you both physically and mentally. However in these sparing sessions...You all have to come at each other with intent to kill."
Aang blinked "HUGH? WHY?!"
"We're heroes!" Ben agreed "Heroes don't kill!"
"Half true" Discord replied causing Ben to blink in confusion "Hugh?"
Discord explained "Some heroes like this Batman have a no killing rule. However even Superman has killed before even though he refrains to in most situations. Even the Man of Steel will if he's given no other option for example say against his arch nemesis Darkseid. Plus don't get me started with a certain Super Sayian. Pretty sure he's killed. Bottom line everyone if you don't come at each other with intent to kill you may never completely be able to overcome the hurdles that come your way."
Negi listened to Discord frowning, once more Discord was right! He hated to admit it out loud though "I suppose we'll give it a try. Won't hurt after all we know we wouldn't kill the other, but Chaosbringer if given the chance will so it's best to be prepared."
Ben now understood the situation if they were caught off guard ever again then it might just well be their end. They couldn't afford to have that happen "Alright, we'll give it a try...Uh who are the match ups?"
Discord looked at his sheet of paper as if he were a coach at a game or wrestling match "So glad you asked, the first two combatants are you vs. Zoe! Then we got Aang vs. Hinata! Lastly we got Negi vs. Hotaru!"
Hearing this the Guardian Seekers exchanged glances at their opponents. Discord went into the middle of the battlefield "Alright let the training commence! First battle match ups get ready!"
At his command Ben and Zoe went to their side of the battlefield. Discord announced the match up "On the left side of the battlefield we have the alien hero Ben Tennyson!"
Ben walked onto the left side of the battlefield once on his end Discord called the other "On the right side, we have the Digidestened of Wind Zoe Orimoto!"
Zoe walked up calmly as she could. Never in her years had she ever had a sparing session with her Digidestened team. Still she understood Discord if they didn't undergo serious training like this then Chaosbringer might win in the end. Once on their ends Discord spoke to them "Alright you two know the drill of this battle, one-on-one, the battle isn't over till one surrenders or is knocked out. You also need to come at each other with intent to kill. Is that clear?"
"Yes, Discord!" was the response.
"Very well" Discord said "So transform!"
Normally, Zoe would decide to go Kazemon on Ben, but she seen that he would be able to keep up with her, and currently her best was Zephrymon "Ladies first Ben! Here I go! Execute...Beast Spirit Evolution...Zephrymon!"
Ben studied Zephrymon's trying to figure out the best alien he smirked perhaps she needed frozen! Of course he thought Big Chill! He reached for his Omnitrix turning it to Big Chill "Alright Zephrymon, time to show you the true terror of…"
He slapped the Omnitrix down, green nanobites filled the air and when it ended Ben was "Heatblast?! Arrgh! But I wanted to freeze her with Big Chill!"
Zephyrmon shrugged "Well I guess you wanted to freeze me! Now I have to deal with fire boy!"
With the two transformed Discord addressed them "Now that everyone is transformed...BATTLE BEGIN!"
Ben thought quickly then unleashed and like a Fire Bender unleashed two flame blasts out of both of his hands. Zephrymon effortlessly dodged the blasts "That all you got?"
Ben smirked "Nope, but I have a trick!"
Without haste he managed to form a rock surface and use it to fly straight at her. Zephyrmon saw him coming as she never seen Takuya whom she oddly thought Ben was using Heatblast looked very similar to ever do that with Agunimon "WHOA!"
She took aim at him "Hurricane Gale!"
She unleashes her hurricane like winds slicing at him. Ben flew into the winds and was forced back. While he was blown back he unleashed three blasts of fire at her, one from each of his hands and one from his mouth. Somehow the flames were strong enough to penetrate through the hurricane force winds and strikes her sending her on a collision course with a nearby palm tree. Both Ben and Zephyrmon were sent to the opposite side of the field ether slamming right into the hard ground on his back or slamming back first into a palm tree.
"Those winds were harder than I thought" Ben admitted shaking his head.
"Those flames somehow ate through my winds" Zephrymon muttered feeling her back.
Both Ben and Zephyrmon quickly snap out of it and resume the fight. Both were formulating a plan of action. For Ben he now knew he couldn't charge recklessly like he just did otherwise with those hurricane force winds she could generate he'd be blown back once more. On the flip side his fire did burn through the winds, most likely this was just pure luck from the flames finding a possible weak spot in her winds. After all part of the things that made fire dangerous in windy conditions was that the winds could blow a few fire sparks onto other places. For Zephrymon she wanted to avoid trying to take those fire attacks. The knowledge that he could fly wouldn't make this fight easy. Yet perhaps she was faster. Her plan was to control the skies avoiding Ben's fire attacks. It would be Ben that went onto the attack blasting out at her. Zephrymon once more avoided the attacks taking to the skies calling out to him "Think you can take me Ben? Well you gotta catch me first!"
"Oh it'll be my pleasure to beat you!" Ben told her taking to the skies once more.
She turned her back avoiding fire blasts after fire blasts as if she were a star fighter pilot. True to her thoughts she was faster. With this in mind she deliberately slowed down a bit just to make Ben lower his guard. She only needed to do this once then she could easily have the upper hand. Ben fell for her plan. He closed in and tried to combine a huge fire blast to roast her! At the last second she flew upward causing the attack to miss her. Ben was startled "What the?"
Once high above his head Zephrymon spread her arms and legs "Plasma Paws!"
Ben heard her turned to engage her but it was too late. She strikes him taking him down to the ground creating a big explosion of debris. Zephyrmon stood back up looking a the crater she just made expecting to see Ben laying flat on his stomach. Instead she didn't see anyone that was until a powerful green laser blasts hit her in the face forcing her backwards a bit. She shrugged the attack off and looked to see Ben had switched aliens "Okay...Note to self Ben...Heatblast not a good idea to attack Zephrymon with...He had slow speed compared to her now...Zephyrmon you face me as Jetray!"
Zephrymon welcomed the challenge "Ah, we'll see!"
She charges Ben but Jetray was much more faster than she was in face compared to her he was nearly twice as fast as she was. So far she was avoiding his laser blasts but only barely. He realized he had to close in the gap in order to win. Sure a Digimon was tanky but perhaps if he got her one good blow he could reverse her transformation and win that way. It was only now he was beginning to realize the meaning of Discord's lesson. It was true, there was no shame in the defeats they were given but it was the manner of the defeats. Sure they were able to beat a certain objective such as the Huntresses when they fought them but when it came to facing Evangeline she tore them all up forcing them to retreat making the defeat a bit worse than it was. Perhaps with this training they could be better. He flew towards her at fast speed saving his energies. She felt him on top of her back and turned to engage him or blow him back with Hurricane Gale. This was what he was looking for and WHAM! Like a battering ram he flew head first into her chest knocking the wind out of her. He did get a good look at the Digimon's breasts causing her to blush and almost smack him for that. Instead this gave Ben his option of attack without haste his fires his green lasers at point blank range! She screams in pain as the attack forced her backwards. She wrapped her tail around him as they decended onto the ground below. Not detoured by this he kept his attack up continuously using his green lasers to strike her like a never ending burning pain. She grits her teeth as she gathered her strength "Hurricane Gale!"
She unleashes her attack at point blank too but other than doing some damage to Ben it wasn't enough as WHAM! The two hit the ground with Ben on top of her and Zephrymon's transformation was canceled turning her back into Zoe whom was clutching the back of her head. Ben stood on top of her "Do you yield?"
Zoe looked at him nodding knowing she might be able to go Kazemon but Ben's lasers would roast her before she could even utter out the words "Yes, I yield!"
Discord called it "Winner of this match up over! Victory...Ben!"
"Good fight you two!" Negi complimented "Zephrymon had the edge over Heatblast but Ben's change to Jetray turned the tide."
"Thank goodness those injuries to me happened in Digimon form" Zoe muttered "Cause that headbutt to the chest at that speed nearly stopped my heart. Not sure how I maintained the transformation after that hit."
Hotaru was looking over Zoe to check if she was alright "That chest injury did look alarming on my end. I'm quite amazed you show no signs of it outside of it."
"Most injuries I suffer in Digimon form seem to wear off" Zoe admitted "Somehow those only occur on them...The only injury I seem to suffer though is well...There have been times I've been rendered unconscious somehow...Mostly from falling from being defeated."
"Good to know" Hotaru admitted.
"It goes to show you that Ben knows the meaning now" Aang told them.
"I do" Ben admitted "Took me to mid battle to completely understand Discord's meaning of this training. If we don't go at each other with intent to kill and our enemies catch us off guard...They won't hesitate to finish us off. Best to keep that in mindset so this training will help us so that it keeps us fresh when we do fight them."
"It is important to train after all" Hinata admitted "Any type of training is going to benefit us in the end."
"Alright then" Discord said "Onto the next match up!"
While this was going on no one noticed Deathmaster Sntich acting as a spy from far away. Chaosbringer had asked his Skaven ally for this task. With the Deathmaster was Princess Azula in her slave outfit. Personally the Deathmaster wouldn't have taken her out of the Skaven mind but Chaosbringer had ordered her to be with him if he needed a scapegoat. Deathmaster Snitch turned to Princess Azula giving her orders "You, you, go back to Chaosbringer...Report to him the enemy is training...Then report back to me if ordered...Got it Yes, yes?"
"Yes, Deathmaster Snitch" Princess Azula said without hesitation, he whole time enslaved by the Skaven made her mind mentally weak. She had seen how Skaven deal with slaves using them as miners for this warpstone which was dangerous to touch or at times downright eating them if food was rare to find. She didn't want to die ether way. Her mind was focused on survival so she took off to inform Chaosbringer of what was happening. She made it to Chaosbringer's throne room and immediately bowed before him "My Lord, Deathmaster Sntich reports he has made visual contact with the Guardian Seekers...They are undergoing some sort of preparation training."
Chaosbringer listened to her then raised his hands for silence. Princess Azula went silent immediately fear was clearly in her eyes. Evangeline was right besides him still serving Chaosbringer as his adviser figure. Both of them were on the same page. Finally Chaosbringer addressed her "Preparation training no doubt. They are progressing the way I expected them."
"Will there be an attack today?" Azula inquired.
Chaosbringer gets up "No, if the Guardian Seekers are getting training in then it's best our forces do too. Princess Azula...Go back to Deathmaster Snitich and report back anything else exciting that happens."
"As you wish my lord" Azula said taking off at once.
"We aren't attacking them?" Evangeline inquired to Chaosbringer.
"We aren't" Chaosbringer replied "If the Guardian Seekers are training then so must our forces. Besides our forces need better training. Those Forever Knights shoot like morons. So"
Vilgax emerges at this point "Say no more my Lord, I'll be readying the troops for training. I'll oversee it."
"Oh I'll be doing that" Chaosbringer told him "I want to oversee this training myself. Normally I'd let you do the training but perhaps they'll get the message of how hard I expect all our soldiers to act. In the end of the day, I will train them so harsh that they will be too much for any normal soldier."
Vilgax saluted "As you wish."
The Guardian Seekers were pretty much watching the second match up unfold. Discord announced the combatants "Alright to the left we have the master of all Elements Avatar Aang!"
Aang walked outward towards the left side of the battlefield. He waved to the rest of his teammates as he focused in on whom he was going to be fighting against. Discord now called the other combatant "On the right side, we have the heiress of the Hyugga Clan, Hinata Hyugga!"
Hinata walked down onto the battlefield herself. She had witnessed Zephrymon be defeated by Ben. Once on her end, Hinata stopped and studied her opponent. Aang had a feeling why Discord set him up against Hinata, to get him better at facing off against opponents that are good in close combat. That indeed was a weakness he had if he had an opponent that excelled in close combat and he couldn't shake him or her off then he might be in trouble. Plus with her Byugucan on he'd have trouble coming up with plans of attack.
"May the best person win!" Aang called to Hinata.
Hinata shook her head agreeing "Right!"
Discord now announced "Battle begin!"

No sooner did Discord give out the order did the sparring battle begin. Both combatants circled trying to get a good read on the opponent. Aang briefly recalled the time he fought Suki and her friends whom had a similar technique but that was only to stop him from bending. Hinata's Gentle Fist was a lot more damaging than their techniques. Typically Aang knew he had to keep Hinata at a distance with his bending skills that shouldn't be a problem. Sadly landing even an air bended attack at Hinata would prove difficult as he knew about her Substitution Jutsu. With it she could pretend to take the attack only to pop up somewhere he'd least expect it. Taking his hestiation to her advantage Hinata drew one of her kunai and threw at him "Don't hesitate!"
Aang avoided the kunai and luckily he did for the weapon had an explosive tagged kunai and exploded where he had been standing. It wasn't the only weapon threw at him. For just as he landed he noticed a light bomb thinking Uh-oh! There was a bright explosion of light as the device blinded him. This was all Hinata needed as she immediately went onto the attack. Aang might've been blind but he was able to detect her moves. He waves in and out of her sharp jabs knowing just one of could lead to certain defeat for him. With one move he caught her hand in his own then attempted to fire bend at her at point blank range with his other hand. Hinata allowed the attack to hit her and Aang watches a bit horrified as his flames made a hole in Hinata's chest seeing the fire exit out of her back! Hinata collapsed onto the ground not moving an inch as if he had killed her.
"Oh gosh!" Aang shouts in alarm "What have I done?!"
He was too alarmed that he had killed Hinata that he didn't notice her body turn into wood. Had he been aware of this he wouldn't have been caught by surprise by Hinata coming at his back. The only sound that saved Aang was the sound of her steady feet charging him from the back. He tries to Earth Bend to grab at Hinata's feet but the Hyugga Heiress avoided it by jumping then continue on lashing strikes at him. As she is doing so Hinata warned him "Appreciate the thought you might've killed me but in this case it's the wrong thing to do! Remorse after the fight is over not now!"
Aang could tell Hinata was taking this training seriously "Sorry Hinata, my bad!"
Hinata continued her attack not giving Aang time to think straight. She lashes out again, again, and again each time Aang barely avoided her attacks. Discord watches the two clearly Hinata understood being a kunoichi this training battle. She was giving Aang some more help. Finally Aang managed to avoid her last jab then leap away from her gaining some distance. Then he pushed out at her with a gust of air. Hinata took the attack allowing him to blow her backwards. Aang then used both his air and earth bending skills by creating a massive sandstorm. Hinata's eyes immediately entered her Byucugan as the sandstorm engulfed the two combatants. Normally a normal person wouldn't be able to see through this sandstorm, but thanks to her Byucugan Hinata could! Aang knew that she could see him but he was using his air bending skills to make him hover on a ball of air trying to make it hard for her to think of a way to get him. As long as he was in the air she couldn't get him.
Hinata did see him seemingly floating in air. She could feel the sandstorm actually causing some sand to scrape on her skin like sandpaper. Unknown to Aang she had came up with a plan. With her Byugugan on she sat in a mediating pose then seemingly focused letting the sandstorm continue it's path.
"What is she doing?" Ben asked watching the scene.
Negi had an idea whispering "Sensing out when Aang will unleash an attack."
"Why let him unleash the attack when she knows where he's at?" Zoe asked.
Discord answered "The simple answer to that is another question why waste energy knowing where one is at?"
Aang wasn't sure why Hinata was sitting down in a mediating pose. He knew she wasn't giving up. He decided to wrap things up by once more combining his Air Bending skills with his Earth Bending skills so that the sandstorm she was caught in erupted into a fierce dust devil! Aang lands on the ground now then with one motion of his hand to the ground appeared to smash his opponent into the ground. Then the sand storm subsided and Aang was expecting to look at Hinata's legs sticking out of the ground. While he did he then saw a puff of smoke come but no wood then Hinata seemingly leaps from a palm tree at Aang's back delivering a sharp gentle fist jab to his back causing him to feel this "WHAT THE?"
He in on his knees and the Hyugga Heiress continued her attack striking him in a dancing motion till he fell onto the ground in massive pain. He raised his hand "I surrender!"
Discord called it "Battle is over! Victory is Hinata!"
"Hugh? How did she win?" Ben asked "I thought Aang had her where he wanted her to."
Hinata answered "I wasn't mediating for fun now. While mediating I was focusing in my energies, I wanted Aang to think he had won for a moment. Once he formed that tornado I put my plan into action. At the last second I was able to produce a single Clone of myself. While the tornado did suck me and my clone up, I managed to rotate my body in a counter spinning motion to exit out the tornado and land on the palm tree."
"But your clones aren't these shadow variant like you mention Naruto's are" Negi told her.
"True," Hinata admitted "But even if it isn't full bodied like Naruto's, Clone jutsu still can be used as a distraction like I wanted it to. Now once the sandstorm subsided, I timed it just right to leave the palm tree I was on then landed the first blow to what is known as Dance of the Gentle Fist"
She giggled fidgeting her fingers "After all why else would Konoha's ninja academy spend countless years teaching the near generation of shinobi clone jutsu if one would deem it useless? Clone Jutsu can be used for espionage, or even sending messages back to the Hokage or target."
Aang shook his head "I gotta get better at keeping foes at a distance."
"You did quite well combining the elements you have" Hinata admitted.
"Thanks Hinata" Aang said to her.
The two walked off the battlefield! Once they were off the battlefield, Discord turned his attention to the last two combatants "Alright then let's get onto the final match up. On the left side of the battlefield, we got the famous student teacher Negi Springfield!"
Negi walked onto the left side of the battlefield. Too him this was already feeling like the Budokai tournament only much, much more intense. At least in that tournament they weren't trying to kill each other. Oh some combatants including himself got beaten up badly in the tournament rounds but they never went so far to kill the opponent. Then again his former training with Evangeline did make him remember that. Oh one time she had trained him and he felt like he'd been training in hell.
"On the right side of the battlefield we got the Sailor Senshi of Death and Destruction, Sailor Saturn!"
At his words Hotaru now as Sailor Saturn walked down to confront Negi. Negi looked at the purple Sailor Senshi. This possessed a new problem, in the Budokai tournament very few weapons were allowed. In this sparring battle he'd be going up against someone that wielded a lethal weapon. Plus her Silent Wall gave her a near impenetrable barrier. What hope did he have to defeat Sailor Saturn? Realistically Negi knew his chances of beating Sailor Saturn were next to zero especially if she didn't hold back. Sailor Saturn sensed his uneasy feeling "Negi, let me warn you not to feel that way or make anyone of your opponents feel you are unease. It's true you are up against me with a whole lot of destruction powers capable of dusting you at max if given the chance, but you beat that demon that attacked your home town. You even beat Evangeline once even if it was a technicality win due to her curse coming back on. You even placed second in the Budokai tournament. Sure you didn't win against the last combatant but be proud you made it to the finals...I mean correct me if I'm wrong but weren't people already calling you off from the first round of the tournament when facing off against Takamichi?"
"You are correct" Negi admitted realizing she was right after all if he didn't come at her at full power with the belief he could beat her, he was already beaten. Even he knew that.
Sailor Saturn shot out her challenge "Then come at me without those thoughts of uneasiness! Come at me with the same belief you can beat the Budokai tournament cause I know how I'm gonna treat you like."
Negi paled at her words speaking them out "As Sailor Galaxia?"
Sailor Saturn smirked "Was going to say how I'm gonna treat you like Pharaoh 90, but Sailor Galaxia works as well!"
Discord announced the match up "Well now let the final battle begin!"
Negi decided that the best approach to this was to come at Sailor Saturn hoping to blitz her. He'd have to get passed her destructive powers to do so he mentally thought Cantus Bellax. Deflexio!
Negi came at Sailor Saturn from the front just as he did to Takamichi and just like him Sailor Saturn had unleashed a destructive blast at him. It shattered his defensive barrier but he managed to get behind Sailor Saturn thanks to an expertly time Shundo move. Sailor Saturn knew his aim then used her own barrier "Silent Wall!" to protect herself from a punch from Negi.
Her barrier did more than just protect her from the punch. It also protected her from a single magic arrow followed by ten more. Clearly Negi was taking this seriously but Sailor Saturn's barrier held. Negi knew better than using up all his magic at once. He had to conserve. Problem was Sailor Saturn wasn't going to give him time to do so! For the moment his ten Magic arrows failed Sailor Saturn let loose another destructive blast this time at close range it strikes him sending him flying and in immense pain. He manages to land on all fours as he clung to the ground still cringing in pain thinking Okay, she got me that time! That hurt way worse than Takamichi's Waza!
Sailor Saturn put both hands on her glaive then went onto the attack. Negi's use of kung-fu lessons with Ku-Fei kept him in the battle. He was using all he could to dodge her attacks. He also made sure to keep in range where the sharp blade couldn't reach his body. One direct slice from the glaive and he might lose an arm...Or his head. Finally he repelled her glaive briefly with one hand then with the other managed to land a punch to her chest. This staggered her but only for a moment. Sadly it was the only moment Negi needed as he built up magic in the palm of his hand speaking out the attack "Thunder Flower Punch!"
The attack connected to Sailor Saturn sending her scrambling but she recovers amazed at how well Negi was keeping up with her a small smile was on her face as she thought Ah Negi. This is why you placed second in that tournament. You are creative! Yet I'm not out yet!
Negi watches as Sailor Saturn leaps to engage him not surprised his move didn't finish her off thinking Of course she's a Sailor Senshi! It takes a lot more than what I gave her to defeat her!
He avoided a slice from her weapon but not a spin kick to the face sending him into the sky. Sailor Saturn took aim with her weapon readying herself. Negi knew what was coming as he thought NUTS! Deflexio!
Sailor Saturn unleashed her attack "Silent Glaive Surprise!"
KABOOM! Negi seem to be engulfed by the explosion. Thankfully he survived but he was in major pain. He lands on the ground panting thinking My wind barrier saved me from certain defeat but barely!
He then used his Shundo move once more to close in the gap. Sailor Saturn timed it right then tripped him as she sidesteps his charge. Negi goes rolling like a bowling ball right into sand dune. He recovers as Sailor Saturn adjusted her weapon once more calling out "It's time I finished this! Death, Reborn Revolution!"
Negi was struck by the negative energy attack and immediately was forced onto his knees thinking to himself AH DARN IT! This is the attack she can use to weaken foes...No it was the one move that she used to defeat Pharaoh 90!
He felt himself start to be levitated but he wasn't out yet. Sure he was weakening but perhaps he could disarm her of her weapon. He aimed his hand "Flanz Exarmato!"
He unleashes his disarming spell. Sailor Saturn did all she could to hold onto her weapon but eventually the winds forced her to let go her weapon which canceled her attack. Sailor Saturn fell back as Negi comes at her sensing that this might be his winning move. He comes at her really fast. She leaps backwards a good distance to her weapon. Negi amazingly used his Shundo move to actually anticipate her landing. He managed to catch her off guard coming at her back fist pointed down announcing "Now take a Cherry Blossom Fist!"
Unlike Takamichi though Sailor Saturn managed to catch the attack in one hand then used the other to grab her glaive. Negi gasps hoping that this would be the knock out blow he was looking for! Still he had one option left and she knew it. She raised her weapon calling out "Silent Glaive Surprise!"
Sailor Saturn's attack happens at close range but so does Negi's Axe of Lightning spell. Both attacks hit each the combatants and both go down. Discord mentally counted down to ten then announced the result "Alright final training battle over...Result is a draw!"
"Great match you two!" Ben said rushing down.
"Yeah! That was amazingly close!" Zoe complimented.
Sailor Saturn sat up agreeing "Thank everyone! Negi that was a good spar."
"It was!" Negi agreed amazed he fought her to a draw.
"What did I just witness?" a voice asked.
The Guardian Seekers all turn to see Thomas approaching.
"Thomas?!"
Thomas waved to them "Hello everyone. Discord I got your message, what is it?"
Discord answered bringing out the map "The Guardian Seekers received this map from Professor Paradox and Azmuth. They need you to translate it if you can."
Thomas took a look at the map seeing it was in Digimon writing "You are in luck, I can translate this. It'll take about an hour or two to a full day depending if anything else happens. So what did I just witness?"
Discord answered "Training regiment! The Guardian Seekers have been on a semi losing streak."
"Oh, and the training had them fight each other to help them realize the situation"
"Bingo!" Discord said.
Thomas had an idea "Well then I hope it works."
"I thought you said we were going to see him tomorrow" Ben told Discord.
Discord grinned "We were indeed, but that was under disguise so that Chaosbringer wouldn't try to disrupt his rout. So in short I called him up and he agreed to meet us here after your training."
Thomas looked at the map "Again this'll take about a day depending on if there is a disruption."
Zoe agreed with him "Right with Chaosbringer there will be disruptions."
Thomas took the map and turned "I'll be taking this map and begin the process of translating it. In fact I'll be doing this in the Digital World so come to the Digital World tomorrow morning and I'll have this done."
"GOT IT! Was the response.
No one noticed Deathmaster Snitch whom now saw and heard everything. He with Azula leave back to the safety of the Nightmare Legion's castle. Once in Deathmaster Sntich found Chaosbringer still training the Forever Knights and Fire Benders. True to his words he was a brutal training instructor. He literally had them all shaking in their boots. He did get good results though as almost by now all Forever Knights were deadly accurate. Deathmaster Snitch addressed Chaosbringer "Lord Chaosbringer...The enemy have done training...Yet they decieved you...They gave special map to this blond person whom will translate it."
"Ah, clever" Chaosbringer said "Which I would've said if I hadn't expected it, but I did sort of."
Devimon and Piedmon appeared. Piedmon spoke to Chaosbringer "We've been on track of creating deadly data eating creatures...We'll have about seven of them by tomorrow."
"Good" Chaosbringer said with a smirk "That'll be the test of these things. Tomorrow we attack the Digital World with those creations...Right when the Guardian Seekers enter it. Keep me posted Piedmon."
"Will do!"
The Guardian Seekers might've thought they were clever in this but Chaosbringer had anticipated this. His evil grin showed throughout the night...Oh the Digital World wasn't going to enjoy what he had in store for it.
End of Episode
I know this was supposed to be Deciphering Map, but I decided to change it to Training Battles. I figured we needed to see spars. Anyway next episode is Episode 14: Data Drainage: The Guardian Seekers go into the Digital World to pick up the translated map unaware that Chaosbringer has unleashed a deadly weapon that is specialized in stealing data from others. Will the Guardian Seekers survive their encounter with these new weapon?
