The steel beast Sepherothmon still had 6 of the 10 spheres glowing, with everyone but Tommy, Bokomon, and Neemon trapped inside.
One of those spheres was the water sphere, a lush forest with a vast pure pound and clear skies. Also in the sphere just so happened to have the warrior of water herself, Ranamon. When the steel warrior had begun his plan, he found it only fitting that the warrior of water guard the sphere of water.
The amphibious female was relaxing under an umbrella laying on a lawn chair fanning herself with a fan that had her image, while wearing purple sunglasses. Since no humans had showed up, she thought it best to pass the time being lazy.
"I really am gorgeous," she said before getting up, "Wait a minute why am I looking at this dinky thing when I could use the whole darn ocean as a mirror?".
She then walked over to the pound and gazed in, and when she did a familiar mirror appeared in the water.
"Looks like I have yet another fan here?" Ranamon said, before looking closer, "All right sugar, tell me, who's the fairest of them all?".
The mirror then got staticy as the lips of the steel warrior appeared, "Prepare thyself,".
Ranamon then took off her sunglasses, "Hey, that's Mercurymon," she said, seeming happy to see a friend.
"It takes not a genius to see the fairest in all the land is thy," the mirror explained.
"Now, that's what a girl wants to hear," Ranamon replied.
"Or 'tis what I would have said before the fairest ot the fair entered the land," Mecurymon explained, "By that, I mean Kazemon,".
"You what?" Ranamon said as she stood up, sounding unamused.
"And the strongest and bravest must surely be Zephyrmon," the statice then faded, and showed a rather ticked off Ranamon.
"Hey, watchit metal head!" she said.
The static reappeared, "But I merely repeat what everyone says, that you could never hope to defeat her, m'lady,".
"We'll just see about that!" Ranamon scoffed, before walking off while fanning herself, "She'll go from the fairest to the foulest faster than you can whistle Dixie!".
After the water warrior left, the mirror smirked.
"This is too easy," Mecurymon then appeared in his mirror, "No matter who wins the fight, I shall have one less problem," he then smirked, "Not to mention an even greater prize lays in wait, hmhmhhm,".
Meanwhile outside of the abomination,
Tommy and the two Digimon looked up at the glowing orbs.
"The others must still be inside of that thing?" Tommy pondered.
"Yes," Bokomon said as he turned towards the boy, "Let's hope they make it out in one piece,".
"A piece of what?" Neemon asked.
"You've got to have faith, if I was able to make it out, then so can they," Tommy encouraged, "Besides, Grumblemon and Arbormon are still in there to help,".
"I hope you're right Tommy, but if they could get out, why haven't they?" Bokomon said as he looked at the orbs.
Back in the water sphere,
As Mercurymon had said, Zoe had just entered the lush landscape. After she took in the beautiful view, the girl had resumed trying to find her friends.
"Takuya, JP, where is everyone?!" she shouted as she walked, "Jeez, if you yell in the forest and no one hears you, is there really any point in yelling at all?".
However, what the girl didn't realize was that she was being watched, by fans of the water warrior.
"I can't bee-lieve what I'm bee-holding?" a Digimon that looked like a bee that was wearing a lot of Ranamon merchandise, including a fan, headband, and badges, "The mean one really exists, gerrr?".
"It's bee-yond me that anyone could be so bee-astly to our bee-loved?" another one said.
"It's bee-cause she's jealous of Ranamon!" the third one added, "But we'll put her where she bee-longs, right boys?".
The bug Digimon then raised their fans, "No one messes with Ranamon and her fans!" they cheered.
The Honeybeemon's speed makes them dangerous. Luckily, they're not so swift upstairs.
"Alone again," Zoe moaned as she walked on, "You'd think I'd be used to it by now,".
Zoe then thought back how in the human world most of the girls ignored her. Though, there was this one time while she was on a school camping trip, were a girl was nice to her after Zoe helped with the girl's hurt foot. Afterwards the girl invited Zoe to eat with her and it seemed like they had become friends. Though what happened later, she'd rather not remember.
"She seemed so nice too?" she thought, feeling sad but soon brushed it off, "Oh well, better find the others,".
However, the Honeybeemon were near by with a wooden cage ready to trap the girl.
"Bee prepared, when she's bee-neath the cage-" one of them said.
"Hey, she's making a bee-line for the other path!" one of them pointed out.
"Huh, aw, come on," the bees said before flying off the tree and to the ground, "We were so close," however, the bees then looked up and saw they forgot to tire up the cage, "Huh, aaahh!".
The Honeybeemon were now stuck in there own trap.
"Huh?" Zoe heard this and turned to see the bug Digimon in this sticky situation, "Looks like you guys could use a little help?".
"If you'd bee so kind?" they asked.
"Hold on a second, I'll get you out," Zoe offered.
The spirit of wind glowed as Zoe began her transformation.
"Execute!" Zoe then swiped the fractal code on his hand across the D-tector, "Spirit Evolution!".
The armor of the wind fairy appeared around the girl and slowly pressed onto her.
The transformation of the wind warrior was complete, and she had become, "Kazemon!".
"Un-bee-lievable!" the bees said.
"Stand back!" Kazemon said before ramming the cage with her rear, "Alright guys, your all clear,".
"Thank you!" the HoneyBeemon said, before one spoke up, "We don't know what would have become of us,".
"Thanks so much!" they then buzzed off.
"Take care," Kazemon said, before flying away herself.
However, the bee's where actually really displeased, "Can you bee-lieve her?"
"Bee-ing all phony about caring?"
"She'll bee sorry,"
They then flew off to their next scheme.
Does any really care about these bumble brains antics? Ugh, let's just skip a head a bit, shall we?
Meanwhile in the thunder sphere,
"Hello, anybody?" JP shouted as he trudged through the land, "Oh what I wouldn't give for a cheeseburger," he moaned, "Though with my luck it would probably try to eat me,"
"Squawk, jerk, no more Grumblemon, no more Grumblemon!" a voice squawked, sounding like a parrot.
"Hey who said that!?" JP shouted, feeling annoyed by the taunting.
"Grumblemon gone, squawk, all your fault!" the voice said again, "You destroyed him, JP jerk!".
"What, no, no, that's not what happened!" he yelled, starting to feel guilt again, "I had to, he was?" he then was able to see the jerk that was messing with him.
It appeared to be a giant green parrot like Digimon that was perched on one of the tall pillars.
If it doesn't get you with razor sharp claws, Parrotmon will defeat you with his Sonic Destroyer attack!
"Squawk, selfish, you'd kill all for girl, squawk!" Parrotmon taunted.
"I'll shut up your lies!" JP then pulled out his D-tector.
"Ohh, just like you did to Grumblemon huh?" the bird squawked as he left his perch, "You never care, never care!".
"No, I'm not like that!?" JP's guilt was really getting to him know. For some reason JP couldn't remember any of the bad things the earth warrior had done, but instead could only remember all the time good times he had with the troll. But then the image of MetalKabuterimon ending the Grumblemon flashed into his head, pushing the feeling of guilt over the limit, "No, how could I do that to him!?"
The meltdown of guilt unfortunately allowed Parrotmon to swoop in and grab the boy with his talons.
"Squawk, good bye, good bye!" the bird taunted.
"I guess I had this coming?" JP moaned, still filled with guilt.
But then, something jumped out of the ground, with a hammer, "Seismic Sledge!" Grumblemon then smacked the bird Digimon with his hammer, "You no hurt friend JP, bird brain!".
"Scwaaaaaaarrrkk!" Parrotmon cried, letting go of the boy.
"Huh, wait a minute?" JP said as he got up, to see the warrior of earth he thought he destroyed, "Grumblemon!?".
"JP expect other Digimon?" the gnome smiled, before being surprised when the human fell flat on his face in a bow.
"I'm so sorry Grumblemon!" JP moaned, "I didn't mean to destroy you, well I did, but I?!"
The earth was quite confused by the human's actions, "What with you JP, that long time ago, Grumblemon OK now?".
JP seemed to still be in a state of sorriness, so Grumblemon decided to take a hands on approach and started shaking the boy.
"Snap out friend!" he said, "Me not gone!"
"Schawk, JP jerk, destroy Grumblemon!" Parrotmon squawked.
"Huh?" Grumblemon then looked at the bird and back to JP, "Oh, me get thing now,".
He then let go of the kid, before he gave the sobbing JP a quick smack.
"Ow, hey what was that for!?" JP said, angered by the petty attack.
"Look, forget what bad you do in past," Grumblemon said, "Grumblemon not mad anymore about defeat from MetalKabuterimon,".
"Y-your not?" JP asked.
"No, in fact me happy me got purified," Grumblemon explained, "JP no need feel bad about past, Grumblemon had it coming," he explained, "But it had happened for us to create friendship, so don't feel bad about back then, feel good about friendship now,".
Jp thought about what the earth warrior told him. The feelings of guilt disappeared with each thing gnome said.
"Your right!" JP said as he got up, "Your still here and your still my friend!".
"Squawk, but you?" Parrotmon tried to say.
"Shut up!" Grumblemon said.
"Yeah, you can't hurt me with your annoying lies anymore!" JP shouted, confidence restored, "I may have let my anger
"Gerrrr, then I'll hurt you with this, squawk!" Parrotmon shouted as he spread his wings before being enveloped in fractal code. The code then exploded to reveal a larger bird covered gold armor known as "Eaglemon!".
The large digimon then took flight, sending a gust wind at the heroes. However, despite now being faced with the giant bird mega Digimon, the heroes were not shaken.
"Think that really too much?" Grumblemon smirked, confidence as sturdy as earth.
"Guess he really is a bird brain," JP added, before pulling out his D-tector, "Lets do this, friend!"
Both of the spirits of thunder glowed as the chubby boy was covered in fractal code. The spirits each gave pieces of themselves as JP gained a new form. The fractal code then exploded away, allowing six legs to stop the ground as the giant blue and gold beetle sparked with lighting, he then opened his mouth under his two horns of rhino and stag and proclaimed himself, "RhinoKabuterimon!".
Grumblemon had to do a double take when he saw the giant beetle, "Whoa, when JP get big bug spirit!?".
"It's a long awesome story," the giant bug said as he opened his wings, " now get on and lets beat some sense into this bird brain, right pal!"
Grumblemon nodded with a smirk of confidence and hopped on as the thunder fusion took flight to fight Eaglemon.
Back in the water sphere,
After many attempts at capturing the wind warrior ending with the Honeybeemon getting caught in their own trap and then rescued by Kazemon, the HoneyBeemon had actually made friends with Zoe and were now hanging out with her next to the lake.
"Honey bread, oh bee-autiful one?" A HoneyBeemon happily offered.
"Bee-fore that, try some honey ice," Another bug offered.
"I," Zoe tried to say, humbled by the gifts of her new friends.
"Let her finish her honey juice," one the bee's said.
"Thanks," Zoe replied, before trying the juice.
"It's our most bee-loved drink,"
"Well, it's great," Zoe replied.
"Just bee sure to have some ice before you get too full," The one holding ice cream said, "I Bee-sech you,".
"Well of course I will," Zoe said, sound delighted, "I'm sure if it's anything like the juice, I'll love it,".
"And please don't bee afraid that it's going to make you fat, that's what always worried Rana-,"
Before he could finish, one of the other Honeybeemon shoved the ice cream into his face.
"Thanks once again for bailing us out of everything that bee-fel us" he thanked, hoping his friend didn't spill any info.
"I was glad to do it," Zoe said, "And anyway, I should be thanking you for all this delicious food,".
"No problem!" a HoneyBeemon replied, "Bee-sides, if not for you, we wouldn't even be here,".
"Hey, you guys need to eat too," Zoe said as she offered some of the honey food to the bee Digimon, which made them happy, "Food's always better if you eat it with someone else,".
"Wow, your so nice!" one of the bee's said.
"You must bee really popular where your from," another added.
"Yeah, I wish," Zoe replied, seeming a bit glum, "I actually had a really hard making any friends back home,".
"Really, but your so nice and bee-uatiful?".
"I guess I was too different from the other girls or something," Zoe said, seeming sad, "I was just being myself, is that so wrong?" she then seemed guilty, "I wonder if they would have been nicer if I was more like them?".
"Not at all," A HoneyBeemon said, "We like you just the way you are!".
"Thanks," Zoe smiled. Though she didn't feel like she was as good as the bee's said. Then again, maybe she shouldn't be so hard on herself and should just enjoy the moment.
The girl and the bees then bit down the food, laughing at their good time.
However, not to far away,
Zoe was being watched through a mirror by her rival Ranamon.
"Dirty double crossers," Ranamon said with disappointment of the bees.
"Seems another group of thy fans have left you for the superior beauty m'lady," Mercurymon said through the mirror, "Tis a pity that day by day, another batch of thy fans betray you for some new,"
"She is not that pretty!" Ranamon whined, "I'm still more beautiful and I always will be!".
"Perhaps, but if thy are not careful, thou will not have that beauty much longer me thinks?".
This thought made the water warrior shiver, "No, no, that won't happen!" she shouted seeming anxious, "That brat will neva beat me!".
"Thou may be right, but the warrior of wind will soon come for you m'lady," Mercurymon pointed out, making the water warrior more worried, "Thou best act fast, if thy really are the better warrior?".
"Fine!" Ranamon said, "I've got to do everything myself,".
"Before thou depart for thy battle, might I humbly recommend some advice?" Mecurymon offered.
"Okay spill!" Ranamon said.
"Tis not enough to merely defeat the fair human, nay, you must make'th her suffer and drown in her own despair!" Mercurymon explained.
"Now your talking honey," Ranamon said, seeming to get more malicious, "I want her to know that she's nothing compared to me!" she grinned, "But how am I going to do that?".
"Tis simple deer Ranamon, the warrior of wind may be fair, but also is just as lonely," Mercurymon chuckled, as an apple appeared in front of the girl Digimon, "Have her eat this morsel, and the wench will be no match for your manipulation,".
"Well aren't you too kind sugar," Ranamon chuckled, She then got up and started heading to where Zoe and the bees were, "You always know just what to say Mercurymon," she said, sound Thankfull, "I don't know what I'd do with out yah sugar," Ranamon then happily skipped off to begin her plan.
But little did she know that Mercurymon had plans of his own.
"Hmhmhmh, tis' truly a pity, forgive my influence dear Ranamon," Mercurymon snickered, sounding more arrogant than regretful, "Tis' most necessary for my plans, hehaha,".
Back with the others in the water sphere,
After enjoying the food, Zoe had fallen asleep by a tree with two of the HoneyBeemon watching her. The other HoneyBeemon was busy picking flowers for the wondrous wind warrior.
"There," the bee happily said, having just finished the bouquet of flowers. However, it was at this point that the water warrior decided to show up, "Ranamon!?".
"My, what lovely flowers, are they for me?" she asked.
"Sure," Honeybee then gave the water warrior the bouquet, "Who else would they be for?".
After she took them, Ranamon pulled out an apple, "And now, here's a little something for you and your numskull friends to give to that bratty girl," she said soothingly, "Make sure she eats it, this apple's going to give her the worst nightmares she's ever had," Ranamon explained, sound much less soothing, "And just a word to the wise, if you mess this up, you're out of the fanclub honey!".
"Yeah, but-" HoneyBeemon tried to say as he was handed the cursed fruit
"Just do it!" Ranamon demanded, before walking off.
Soon after, Zoe was beginning to awaken from her snooze with a yawn.
"An apple for us?" the two HoneyBeemon on the tree asked as they flew down.
"No, I brought this for her," the one with the apple hesitantly said, before offering it to Zoe, "Here,"
"For me, thank you," Zoe said as she got up and took the forbidden fruit.
Ranamon eagerly watch from behind tree as the girl she despised took the bait of her devious plan.
"Looks delicious," Zoe said, about to take a bite.
"Wait!" HoneyBeemon said.
"Huh?"
"Oh, nothing," he replied, seeming sad about something.
"Ok," Zoe then chomped the fruit, much to Ranamon's malicious delight and the HoneyBeemon's guilt. "Mm, thanks guys, this turned out to be a great day," she said as she walked to the pond.
Sadly, the poison in the apple soon took effect and made Zoe flinch and drop it.
"Zoe!" the Bee's cried.
The girls eyes went blank as she wandered over to the pond, with Ranamon laughing at her victory.
"Heheheeha, what's the matter sugar?" the wicked water warrior asked, "Feeling a little under the weather?".
Zoe then looked got down and looked into waters.
"Let the nightmare begin, ahahahahaha!".
As her vision blurred, Zoe began to remember her time during that camping trip. The group had set up camp at a lake, not to different from the one in the water sphere. She remembered how the girl she made friends with decided to turn on her.
The girl was having dinner with the group of girls that didn't like Zoe and didn't let Zoe join them. Earley the girl had offered a seat to Zoe after she had helped with her hurt foot.
But when she tried to join, the girl wouldn't let Zoe join, since the other girls had would rather go elsewhere then be near Zoe.
"Just go to a different group," Zoe's supposed friend said, seeming very to have a hard time, likely pressured by the mean girls, "We're already using all of our pots and pans and junk, sorry,".
"Liar!" Zoe shouted, lashing out at being abandoned by the girl.
This scared away the nearby ducks and frightened the girl.
"I'm sorry!" she cried as she ran away.
"Wait!" Zoe said, not meaning to hurt the girl.
The memory began to ripple away.
Ranamon had also been able to see the nightmare and was ready to use the event to torment Zoe.
"Oh, what's wrong sugar?" she sarcastically asked, "Did our little beauty queen wannabe just realize what I always knew?" Ranamon said as she walked towards the depressed girl, "That no one really likes you?".
Zoe looked up at the water warrior, still under the spell of depression.
"Must be hard to be so unpopular?" Ranamon mocked.
Back in the thunder sphere,
RhinoKabuterimon with Grumblemon riding were locked in a fierce air battle with Eaglemon.
"Thunder laser!" the thunder fusion then fired electrical blast from its horn.
The armored bird soared past each blast, before retaliating with, "Mystic break!" and fired a white ray at the bug.
Fortunately, RhinoKabuterimon was able to avoid it by flying upwards.
Grumblemon then used this as a chance to attack and jumped towards the bird, being enveloped in fractal code as he did it, "Slide evolution!" he then became, "Gigasmon!" he then tried to pound the armored bird.
But Eegalemon was fast and swooped out of the way.
Gigasmon it the ground hard but was unfazed.
"Oh yeah, try fly through this, Quagmire Twister!" the earth beast then spun around with his arms out and created a tornado of mud.
Eaglemon was soon sucked towards it. The bird fought back hard but couldn't hold out forever.
Which is when RhinoKabuteirmon then rammed into the bird.
"Lights out for you!" the fusion said as he charged up more electricity, "Or should I say on, Condenser Storm!".
The lighting surged through the horn and into Eaglemon.
"Squaaarrrrrrrkk!" it cried as it's entire body was electrocuted. The mighty bird then faded black as the fractal code showed.
"Shocking, isn't it?" the thunder warrior said as he held his D-tector with his mouth , "Fractal code, digitize!"
He then scanned the fractal code and ended the bird.
Soon after, the thunder fusion flew back to then ground and turned back to JP, as did Gigasmon to Grumblemon.
"Nice one!"
"Right back ach yah!
The said as they high fived.
Then another Eyeball portal appeared.
"Gah, not one these freaks again?!" JP moaned.
"No, it good, freak be fore way out!" Grumblemon explained, "For JP at least,"
"But what about you, and the others?" he asked, sounding concerned.
"Friend no worry, Grumblemon promise Grumblemon and Arbormon get all friends out," the gnome assured, "Trust Grumblemon,".
While JP was still worried about his friends, especially Zoe, but he knew he could count on the warrior of earth.
"Okay, I trust you," JP said confidently, "Just please get out safely,".
"Grumblemon promise," the Digimon said as he and JP shook hands.
The chubby digidestined then jumped through the portal to the outside of the steel beast.
"Alright, now Grumblemon turn to move on," he said, waiting for a portal. But on didn't appear, "Anyday, Grumblemon still waiting!?"after a few more moments of waiting, one finally appeared, "Gerrr, about time!".
He then entered, before the land of the thunder sphere vanished.
Outside the steel beast,
Jp then came flying out of one of the eyeballs, which was pretty high.
"AAAAhhh!"
"Well catch you!" Tommy shouted as he and Neemon ran to him.
Unfortunately, they all ended up colliding in a crash.
"That was a bad idea?" Neemon moaned as Bokomon came running to the heroes.
"You made it out!" he said, glad to see his friend safe.
"We were worried," Neemon said after getting up, "Did you bring me a present?".
"No," JP said as he got up and looked at Sephirothmon's darkened spheres.
"See, they are gonna make it out, just like I said" Tommy proclaimed.
However, JP then noticed the sphere of the middle right had the shadows of his female friend and evil female warrior.
"Oh no, look it's Zoe and Ranamon!" he said with worry.
Speaking of which,
"I have friends," Zoe moaned.
"Please," Ranamon scoffed, "They're just pretending sugar, when you're not around, they say all sorts of bad things about you,".
"That's not true, is it?" Zoe asked, starting to succumb to the doubt, "My friends wouldn't be that mean?" she then looked towards the water, "But then again, how could I know for sure whether or not they're lying to me?" she wondered, "Lots of people seem nice at first,".
She then thought of what happened with the girl again. However, Zoe then thought about her anger, while justified, must made the girl really sad, and hurt. This started to make Zoe feel bad for her actions
"So I was cruel right back to her, that's not right," Zoe said, sounding remorseful, "I shouldn't have been mean," she then looked back to Ranamon, "I'm gonna try harder to be nicer, I'll be a better person,".
This agitated Ranamon, she wasn't trying to improve the girl, she wanted Zoe to drown in despair.
"Ugh, oh you are such a goodie two-shoes!" she snapped as she threw the flowers the HoneyBeemon had given her at Zoe.
Unfortunately for the water warrior, this angered the female digi-destined enough to snap her out of the nightmare spell.
"Uh oh," Ranamon said, feeling slightly worried by the fire in Zoe's eyes.
The spirit of wind glowed as Zoe began her transformation.
"Execute!" Zoe then swiped the fractal code on his hand across the D-tector, "Spirit Evolution!".
The armor of the wind fairy appeared around the girl and slowly pressed onto her.
The transformation of the wind warrior was complete, and she had become, "Kazemon!".
"Allright miss perfect, you think you're so hot?" Ranamon said as she took a battle stance, "Well you're not as smart as you think, see those HoneyBeemon over there?!".
The bee Digimon where on a branch of a nearby tree watching the battle that was about to begin.
"You thought they cared about you, didn't you?" Ranamon said as she looked at the HoneyBeemon, "Well let me let you in on a little secret honey pie, they're really working for me and they despise you like everyone else does!".
The HoneyBeemon frowned at this, feeling guilty for what they had done. But it didn't go unnoticed.
"What's that look for?!" Ranamon snapped.
"Whhaaa!?" they said, being startled.
"Your still in the fanclub, so you insects better start cheering for me, or you're next on the list," Ranamon scolded, "Got it!?".
The HoneyBeemon then flew off the tree, having suddenly gotten all their Ranamon fan club gear on.
"Yeah, yay, yay," the cheered, but with very little enthusiasm.
Kazemon then took flight, ready to fight.
"Now that's better," Ranamon said as she joined the battle. She then held up her hand, "Draining Rain!" she then summoned a vortex of that storm clouds that then let loose a flood of water onto the wind fairy.
"Whoooaaaa!" Kazemon cried as she was dragged into the water below. The wind warrior flailed as she tried to avoid drowning, but Ranamon wasn't going to give her the chance.
"Whipping Waves!" Ranamon then made the water lifted Kazemon up with a vortex of torrents.
"Whoaaa!" she cried.
"What's the matter?" Ranamon taunted, "Hard to do your little kicks when you're so far off the ground?" she mocked, "Here, let me help you down!" the water warrior then made the vortex dragged Kazemon down to the depths to drown, "It's all over girlie girl!".
"I can't bee-leve it's over so quick," a HoneyBeemon moaned as he and the others covered themselves with their fans from the rain. But then they saw something in the lake, "Huh?".
"It's not!" Kazemon said as she arose legs first form the water, much to Ranamon's shock, "Tempest Twist!" she then spun around with her upside down headstand, creating a small wind, as she spun towards her foe and kicked Ranamon.
Okay maybe the reason it was so potent last chapter was motivation. Hope that stops a plot hole.
"Uoh!" the water warrior screamed in pain as she was knocked to the ground face first, "Why you horrible little brat!" she whined, "Ooh you're going to pay so big for that!".
"Oh yeah!?" Kazemon said, before being enveloped in fractal code, "Slide evolution!" Kazemon then evolved to, "Zephyrmon!".
"So beautiful!" the HoneyBeemon cheered at the harpy ninja, before looking to Ranamon, wondering what she would do next, "Huh?".
"Oh please," she scoffed, before being enveloped in fractal code herself, "Slide evolution!" she then evolved to "Calmaramon!" she was then ready for her praise, "Now what do you say?!".
"So ugly," the HoneyBeemon said, covering their faces with the fans at the presence of the squid 'lady', "But it's still Ranamon." They then turned the fan to the side with the water warrior blowing a kiss, "Quick, before she gets mad!" they then faked the cheer, "Yay!".
It wasn't long until the squid lady Digimon was in the water ready rumble.
Zephyrmon then swooped in and kicked the water beast in the face.
"Uhg, lay off the face!" Calmaramon yelled, as she retaliated by punching the wind beast with her tentacle.
The harpy fell to the water, and Calmaramon made sure she went down by toppling onto her.
The HoneyBeemon anxiously waited for what to happen next.
Calmaramon then resurfaced with Zephyrmon in her slimy clutches.
"What's wrong, little waterlogged?" she mocked.
"Yay, yay, yay!" The bees cheered, though you could tell it was fake by the looks of their faces.
"See, no one's on your side!" Calmaramon taunted, before tossing the bird aside into the water, "It's time I clipped your wings for good!" the humanoid part of the water beast then sank into the squid, before it jumped into the air by slamming its tentacles on the lake, "Titanic Tempest!" the squid then curled up before spinning around like a drill, aiming to land on the wind beast.
Zephyrmon tried to swim away, but the drilling squid was to fast and slammed her into the waters below. Calmaramon kept going until she forced the harpy onto the seafloor and then proceeded to go back up for praise.
The HoneyBeemon were now quite sad that the wind warrior seemed to be done for.
"Well, well, looks like everything's right with the world again," Calmaramon bragged as she swam to the land, feeling great to be rid of her rival, "Once more, I am the prettiest and the strongest!" she then screeched, "Now give me that cheering!".
However, the Digimon then noticed that Zephyrmon had survived and was hanging onto a tree that was in the lake.
"Sorry, bit you're still as ugly and weak as ever," she said as she turned towards the others, "Someone as mean as you could never understand what true beauty is,".
"Yeah!" the HoneyBeemon cheered with genuine happiness, before flying towards the wind beast.
"You are bee-yond great!"
"So strong!"
"And really nice!".
They each said as they flew over and tossed aside all their Ranamon merch. "From now on, we're gonna be your number one fans!".
"Thanks guys!" Zephyrmon replied, before the bee's helped her up.
"What!?" Calmaramon shouted. As she looked at the turncoat fans, something inside the squid snapped. She knew that if this kept up, she would lose all her fans and nobody would like her. The anger she had for the wind warrior reached its limit. She was going to get rid of that brat once and for all, no matter what! "How dare you turn on me you little runts!" she then puffed up her chest, "Acid ink!" she then spat an ink blob at the HoneyBeemon, "I'll remove you brats from the fanclub and this world!".
The Bee's covered the faces in fear.
"No!" Zephyrmon then flew in and took the hit, getting covered in the painful substance, "I won't, let you hurt my, friends,".
"Take a good look boys, before your new queen melts into an ugly ball of muck!" Calmaramon mocked.
"Don't listen to her, you still have inner beauty!" on of the HoneyBeemon said.
"The only thing that's melting is our hearts!" another one encouraged.
"G-guys," the wind beast moaned. Despite the pain, she felt glad that she didn't have to change for the bees to like her. That was why she didn't get along with the mean girls back home, they didn't like that she was different. But the friends she made in the Digital world didn't care she was different and she was going to return the love and protect them all, "You guys are the best, I hope, I can be ,as good a friend ,as you and all my other friends have been?".
"AAAAUUGGHH!" Calmaramon screamed, being pushed over the edge with envy and jealousy, as she pounced on the wind beast. She then grabbed Zephyrmon and dragged her deeper and deeper into the water. "I may not have been able to drown you in despair, so I'll just drown you, hahahaahahahah!".
Zephrymon chocked for air as it got harder and harder to breath. The stings of the ink didn't help, especially when it caused her to devolve back to Zoe.
Zoe knew she was done for. But then she remembered her friends and the time she spent with them and the HoneyBeemon.
"This might be it, but at least I know I had true friends," she thought, starting to feel happy, "I'm glad they all liked me for who I was," the air in her longs was nearly out, "I, just, wish, I could protect them, and be, nicer!".
Well, looks like someone has grown and overcome their doubt? Alright, what do I have to censor this time? Oh, actually that's pretty appropriate, kinda cute for a bird. But I probably have censor the fuis-, Oh, that not really too bad. I think if I just leave out the placement of the propellers it should be fine.
The dimensions then flickered and swirled, looking extra trippy underwater. Zoe's D-tector then shined brightly.
When the flash died down, Zoe then took a huge gasp of air.
"*Ghaps*, *breath*, *breath* grazi?" she breathed heavily, feeling glad to have air, but confused as to why, "Huh, where am I?" she then looked down to see she was in flouting in the sky with no land inside, "Ahh, what's even going on!?".
Zoe then found that she appeared to be in the sky not falling but flouting, with a gentle breeze blowing. It didn't take long for her to get over that fact she was flouting and actually felt pretty calm.
"H-how did I get here?" She asked, before hearing something swoop past, "What, who's there!?".
The figure then swooped by again, then again behind the girl, leaving a rainbow blur each time with increasingly strong wind.
Zoe frantically tried to follow, but just got more confused.
Then, a blast wind upwards, forcing Zoe to hold down her skirt. Suddenly a Digimon flew up and appeared to Zoe.
"Belisemo," Zoe said in awe of the female Digimon.
The Digimon looked similar to Kazemon and Zephyrmon, but wasn't as revealing, she resembled an adult human women with talon like leg armor that had golden wings, while also having lightweight legless body armor as well as some on her arm, on her shoulders was wing like armor that was light green, green, and blue with smaller gold wings on the top, her face was masked while showing crystal blue eyes, with long rainbow colored hair with a gold wings on the top of the head, she carried a rapier, and was stunningly beautiful.
"Nice job successor," she spoke, her voice sounding mature and confident, "I was hoping you'd figure out your self worth,".
"Thanks," Zoe said, before it occurred to her, "Hang on, you called me successor, does that mean?"
"Clever girl, indeed, I am the original legendary warrior of wind, AncietKazemon!" she proclaimed, the wind blowing with her pose, "Knowing you've found true friends is hard, it took time for me to understand the care I shared with my legendary warrior comrades," she explained, "You have found friends that love you for who you are, and now you understand that you are worth being friends with,".
"Your right, I really am thankful for my friends," Zoe explained, feeling grateful, "That's why I want to still try to be nicer, so my friends can be happier when their around me!".
"Well, nothing wrong with trying to improve, kinda like the air plans you humans made to soar through the skies?" AncientKazemon mused, "Now, with great honor I present you with my full power!" she then pointed her rapier at the girl and knighted her.
The winds began to surround Zoe, thankfully not blowing up her clothes, as the power began to enter her.
"Thank you AncientKazemon!" Zoe said, "I promise I won't waste it!".
"Good, now go and win your battle!" AncientKazemon proclaimed as the wind got stronger, "Oh and one more thing, try not to be too rough with my sister Ancientmermaidmon's successor, k?" she said, sounding like a big sister, "May the winds of time, carry you and your friends through eternity!".
The winds reached their full flurry as Zoe's new evolution began.
Both of the spirits of wind glowed as the girl was covered in fractal code. The spirits each gave pieces of themselves as Zoe gained a new form. The fractal code then exploded away, revealing a blue haired humanoid girl with jet like armor that covered most of her body. The fusion then descended onto the pedestal with the thrusters on her back active, she then grabbed her weapon, a large blue pinwheel, and proclaimed herself "JetSilphymon!".
The fusion of wind's jets then blasted with great fury as she flew out of the water, with Calmaramon being dragged with her.
"Huh, wha-wha, whoaaaaaA!" the squid screamed, before finally letting go once they resurfaced. Calmaramon was unable to keep her grip and went crashing down to the water, "Whaaaaaa!"
The Digimon were then jaw dropped in awe at the wind fusion that flouted in high in the sky.
"Whoa, look at her!" one of the HoneyBeemon beamed.
"It's un-bee-lieavible bee-uatful!".
"N-no way!" the water beast cried as she tried to recover from the fall.
JetSilphymon truly was a beauty. She looked like a fusion of Kazemon and Zephyrmon, but the armor was now metallic and had jet parts like wings on the legs, engines on the feet, two thruster wings on her back, a jetairplain on her head, with blue hair blowing in the wind next to her determined eyes, with a white mask similar to the wind beast, he weapon was a giant blue and white pinwheel for creating wind, and unlike Zoe's forms, wasn't painfully revealing.
Not to shabby girl. Now Go on, win gs, take off!
"No fair!" Calmaramon whined, "Why do you get all the good looking stuff you brat!".
"Calmaramon, you can't hurt me with your petty insults anymore!" the wind fusion proclaimed, with her cool mature beautiful voice, "With the kindness I show my friends, I will take flight and soar while I blow evil like you away!".
"Yay!" the Bee's cheered.
"Geerrr, Acid Ink!" Calmaramon tried spit ink at the jet clad Digimon.
"That again, really?" JetSilphymon chuckled, before grasping her weapon with both hands, "Ultra Turbulence!" the pinwheel started turning rapidly, as the wind fusion swang it and sent a huge blast of wind.
The gust was so powerful, it sent the glob of ink right back at it's spitter.
"No, whaaa!" she screamed before being splattered, "Ugh, this better not ruin my makeup again!?" she cried as she tried to get the painful liquid off.
"Yay, show that hag!" the bee's cheered.
"You'll bee-t her no problem!".
Calmaramon then shook of the ink, madder then ever, "You think can hide up there honey!?" she screamed, "Well think again!" she then screeched like a banshee.
The water of the lake began to rise. Soon it turned the calm forest into an entire ocean, being the warrior of water likely gave her more power over the water sphere.
With the battlefield changed, the water beast was now eye to eye with the wind fusion.
"Come here sugar!" Calmaramon then charged at the jet girl. But before she could grab her, JetSilphymon vanished, "Huh!?".
The wind fusion then appeared behind the squid and kicked her in the back.
"AAAAUUUUHH!"
"Can't you keep up?" JetSilphymon teased, "Catch me if you can?".
The squid tried to nab her again, but the wind fusion moved so fast she couldn't even see her moving. It was getting so frantic, even the eyes on the squid part of the water beast were getting dizzy.
"Hold still!" Calmaramon then saw the HoneyBeemon still cheering and got an evil idea, "But are yah fast enough to save them!?".
The squid lady then plunged into the water, planning to reappear under them former fans and grab them.
"HAHa!" she laughed when she resurfaced, only to find the bees where gone and with the wind fusion in the safety of her arms, "Wha, oh come on!?".
"Looks like I am that fast!" JetSilphymon taunted, before letting the bees fly away, before pointing her arms at the squid, "Let's see if you are, Jet Binter!" she then fired wind shots out of her arms.
The attack pelted the water beast with great force. She had tried to dodge, but all the battle had left the squid exhausted.
"No, I won't, let you win!" she cried, starting to sound burnt out, before descending into the squid for her ultimate attack, "Titanic Twist" she then jumped into the sky and tried to drill the fly girl.
"Not this time honey!" Jetsilphymon said as she grasped her pinwheel, "Stand back boys, Ultra Turbulence!".
The HoneyBeemon quickly obliged as the pinwheel spun rapidly once more. JetSilphymon then swung the weapon, sending a hurricane at Calmaramon.
The squid was quickly sucked into the storm, spinning around more than she ever did alone.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoaaaaa, nooooooooo!" she cried as the hurricane damaged her.
The storm was so powerful that it drained out all the water from the ocean.
JetSilphymon's thrusters blasted as she flew into the hurricane, "Your ugliness won't hurt any of my friends anymore!" she then rider kicked the squid with all her might, sending her crashing into land down below.
"No, I, whaaaaaaaaaaa!" Calmaramon hit the ground with painful force, the tree's splintering with her collision.
This was the final blow for the water beast, as she faded black and the fractal code that held the two spirits appeared.
JetSilphymon then descended in front of the squid, "A gift, you shouldn't have," she then swooped in and stole the beast spirit, turning Calmaramon back to Ranamon.
But the fractal code still showed.
"Ranamon your reign is over!" the wind fusion then pulled out her D-tector, "I'd say it's been fun, but it hasn't,".
Ranamon was barely conscious, but she knew what was about to happen, "No, no, please, don't take my beauty," she pleaded, scared for her life, "Anything but that, I beg you sugar!".
Sadly, the water warrior's plead did not phase wind warrior.
"Fractal code, digitize!" JetSilphymon then swiped the device across and scanned the fractal code and thus, Ranamon was defeated, "See ya sugar!"
You know what they say, three's the charm! Hhmhmhm, how exciting!
The dimension then swirled and warped.
JetSilphymon didn't notice this, or the fact that Ranamon's egg had gone into her D-tector.
The wind fusion then turned back to Zoe, "It's one thing to be nice, but it's another to be a big pushover,".
Zoe couldn't believe it, she finally defeated her rival. But oddly enough, she didn't completely, in fact, she almost felt sorry for the water warrior being gone. But she would have to dwell on this later, for her new fan club was coming to greet her.
The HoneyBeemon were now where Zoe version of the merchides they had early, cheering her glory.
Zoe then struck a peace sign, feeling glad to see her fans happy.
Then an eyeball portal appeared, "Huh, this must be the way out?".
"Please let us come with you bee-uatiful one!" the HoneyBeemon asked, looking cute.
"Alright, it 'bee' a shame to leave you guys," Zoe joked, not wanting to leave the fans and happily nodded.
"Yay!" the bees cheered, before lifting the girl up and exiting the water sphere.
With all the Digimon gone, the land of the water sphere felt empty with it gone. As if it seemed to feel sorrow for when the legendary warrior of its element disappeared. The forest and lake began to disappear-
"Hold'th right there blaggard!" Mercurymon shouted. Then tendrils of the beast form appeared and grabbed a shadowy figure, "Thou can't evade'th me no more!".
What the?! How did even find me!?
The steel warrior then appeared in front of his prize. "Thou thought thy tampering would go unnoticed, eh?" he taunted, "This is my domain, you can hide no longer!".
Wow, I didn't think one you would actually notice me, let along nab me? Uhg, knew I shouldn't have made that big change with the penguin last chapter.
"Cut thy chatter and explain thyself nave!?" Mercurymon demanded "You have been warping the dimensions to suet thy likening,".
Alright, you caught me flecty. Hold up, let me get a bit easier to understand.
The shadow then rippled, and his appearance became slightly clearer. He was still a shadow, but he looks a bit like a lizard with four tattered closed wings, with glowing eyes, an had a crystal in his chest that had two curved prisms on the top corners and two more coming out slightly below the middle, with a crystal cross was inside the crystal.
"I figured that thy would appear once another villainous warrior fell," Mercurymon bragged "As you have done with the others, thy egg of the warrior has ended up in the care of the filthy humans!"
"Oh, you saw that, hm, tch ,drat," the shadow groaned, "I guess that's why you're the leader of the evil legendary warrior's group," the shadow said, "Well, when they were still with you that is,".
"Bite thy tongue!" Mecurymon retorted, "As if a sneak like thy has the right to lecture me on my actions, when thou lurks in the shadows with an unknown purpose!"
"If you must know what it is I'm doing, well I'm basically trying to make this story a bit better," he explained, "Speaking of which, mind letting me go so I can do that?".
"Not a chance, tis better to use you to my liking now," Mercurymon said, feeling sinister, "It may have cost deer Ranamon, but I will get something out of you, hahaahaha!".
"Yeeaah, here's the thing, I can only change things to a certain degree," The shadow explained, "If your expecting me to guarantee your victory, sorry, only you can determine your fate,".
This made the metal warrior frowned in frustration.
"However, if you let me go, I may be able to provide something in return,"
"Pray tell, and what might that be'th?" Mercurymon asked.
"Well, if you happened to be defeated during your 'true' plan, I can make so your return is guaranteed, obviously " The shadow explained, "And I'll throw in some juicy information on a warrior you may want to keep an eye on, so to speak,".
"What warrior does thy speak off?" Mercurymon asked, seeming interested.
"Anan-anh, let go first!" the shadow said, sounding annoyed, "I can tell you're the type for trickery, so I go first, Un-da-stand?!.
"Gerr, very well," he growled, not wanting to trust the shadow, but at the same time Mercurymon did not fully understand this creature, so he had to comply. He then made the metal disappear, before the shadow disappeared, "The trickster, I should have known'ith!".
"Mad-e mad-e, I'm still going to tell you flecky," the voice of the shadow said, sounding a bit japanese, though he couldn't be seen "Now, If I'm correct, besides yourself, the warrior of darkness is the only one left of you evil warriors, correct?".
"Yes, thou art most knowledgeable," Mercurymon said, "By what reason should I be'ith concerned with such a blagarde like Duskmon!?"
"Well, the warrior of darkness is actually a lot more like the heroes you fight,".the shadow explained, "On the inside at least, if you know what I mean?".
"Wait, is thou implying that Duskmon?" Mercurymon asked, before the shadow appeared and whispered something into his nonexistent ear, "Tis impossible!?".
"But it is, I'm not lying," the shadow explained, "Oh, and that's not even the juiciest part,". The shadow then whispered something into the steel warrior's other nonexistent ear.
"E gad, be-ith something straight out of Shakespeare!" Mercurymon gasped.
"Yeah, them creatures can be pretty messed up," the shadow said, "Giving into urges without thinking about others, you can see why Duskmon is so consumed by the bad kind of darkness,"
"Pray-tell, how does this tidbit asset me?" Mercurymon asked, before the shadow snapped his fingers and caused the image of the light warrior appeared in his mirror, before the shadow whispered something else, "Ah, tis most interesting so it not just coincidence that the darkness hunts the light,", he mused, before noticing the shadow was gone.
I'm sure you'll figure it out what to do next flecky. Good luck with your master plan, I'm curious how it will play out, hmhmhm. And I'm sure Ranamon will be to, hehehehe.
Mecurymon could tell the shadow had left the sphere. He then noticed one the Ranamon fans. He picked it up and then thought about the water warrior, was this worth losing her he wondered.
The steel warrior shook his head, "Nay, tis not the time to dwell on what I have lost," he then pushed the thoughts of his fallen warrior's out of his head, "Tis best that thy only look to what there is to gain!" he then vanished, as did the rest of the water sphere, "It as I said, it be'th a tragedy that can not be undone,".
Outside of Sephirothmon,
The water sphere's glow disappeared as Zoe and her bee friends descended from the eye.
"Hey guys!" she said, glad to see her friends below, "Guess what?".
"You brought me a present?" Neemon asked.
"No," she playfully replied as the HoneyBeemon put her down on the ground.
"Well what then?" Bokomon asked.
"Why not?" Neemon moaned, still focused on getting a present.
"Ranamon is gone!" Zoe said, "I finally defeated her!".
"Yes, and long live Zoe!" the Bee Digimon cheered, "She's the bee-st!".
"Let me see that!" JP then grabbed one of the Zoe fans, much to the others confusion, "You guys might be members of the Zoe fanclub, but I'm the president!" he proclaimed, eyes beaming at the fan of his crush.
Zoe felt amused by this, before she realized, "Wait where are the others?".
"I'm afraid the eyes have them," Bokomon explained, pointing to the steel beast.
"I thought they'd be here by now, but I'm starting to wonder if they'll ever get out?" Tommy said, "I hope Grumblemon and Arbormon can find them and a way out?"
"They will, I hope," Zoe said, getting just as worried. Still unaware of what lurked in her D-tector.
Narrator Rika: But if they don't, how will they save the Digital World? Or get home? See if everything will work out on the next Digimon Frontier!
…
Narrator Rika: Um, hello? Aren't you supposed to chime in now?
