After finally besting the steel beast Sephirothmon, the heroes thought this ment they could bring Mercurymon back as a good digimon. However, when they brought him back as Reflectmon, the former steel warrior was left terrified and cracked. Reflectmon then ended up sending the heroes away with his mirror cards.
The heroes had not been teleported all that far, only a small distance away from the casem.
"What just happened?!" JP asked.
"It seems Reflectmon has the power to teleport things with his mirrors," Bokomon said as he looked through his book, "And that apparently included us,".
"Did it make me look fat?" Neemon stupidly asked.
"Who cares about that, why was he so scared?" Ranamon asked, still very worried.
"No know, this not happen with Grumblemon when come back as Talpidmon?" Grumblemon said, "Sure me bit mad, but no scarred?".
"Something must have gone wrong with the purification?" Takuya guessed, before getting mad at himself, "Arrgh, what did I do wrong !?".
"Calm down Takuya, this isn't your fault," Zoe pleaded, before briefly glaring at Ranamon, "Right?".
The water warrior just huffed at this.
"Dat don't matters now," Arbormon said, "Because right now Reflectmon is alone and I'm sure dat rest of yous can see dah problem, right?".
"Arbormon right, him fore no last long on dark continent," Grumblemon added.
"Well then what are we waiting for, we need to go find that poor boy now!" Ranamon said.
"But aren't you mad at him?" Neemon asked.
"Oh what does it matter what I am!?" Ranamon said, more worried about the former steel warrior, "I can be mad later when the poor deary's safe!".
"Ranamon's right, we need to find Reflectmon now!" Takuya said.
"But what about Koji?" Tommy asked, "Isn't he alone with Duskmon?".
"Oh no, I nearly forgot about him," Takuya groaned, worried for his friend.
"Hold on, Reflectmon won't survive a gosh darn moment alone!" Ranamon pleaded, "You're not just going to leave to be destroyed, right sugar?".
Takuya groaned feeling very conflicted. He needed to decide what was more important, find Reflectmon or find Koji before Duskmon could. The goggled boy clenched his fist, before making up his mind. "Koji can take care of himself," Takuya said, after opening his eyes, "Reflectmon probably won't last on his own for very long, so right now he takes priority,".
"You really mean that sugar?" Ranamon asked, surprised at the choice, "Aw, thank you so much Takuya hon,"
"You can thank me after we find him, let's go!" Takuya said, before he started running to where they last saw the steel child.
The Digimon nodded before following. Tommy and Zoe were about to follow, but soon noticed JP was looking rather down.
"Huh, you okay Jeep?" Zoe asked.
"Yeah, you seem down?" Tommy added.
"Huh, well, when we were fighting Sephirothmon, he said something about our fusion forms," JP confessed, "That we were never meant to have them or something?".
This made the expressions on the other go down.
"JP?" Zoe said, sounding concerned.
"I've been thinking the same thing," Tommy confessed, "Especially when he stopped us from fusion evolving?".
"I'm sure it was just, well, then again?" Zoe said, also beginning to feel doubtful. However, she then remembered what had become of the steel beast, "Lets not worry about that now, we need to go find Reflectmon,".
"Your right Z," JP replied, brushing things off a bit.
"Okay, lets go," Tommy added, perking up a bit.
They all nodded and ran to catch up with the others.
The heroes were now out to find their missing warriors. But would both of them be able to last until they were found?
"Hang in just a little longer Koji," Takuya thought.
Speaking of which,
Far away, the warriors of light and dark ran through the dark continent.
Beowolfmon was on Duskmon's trail, hungry for answers about the dark Digimon's true identity.
"It wasn't a vision, it had to be real," the light fusion thought, remembering the previous battle, from inside the dark sphere, "How could that boy look just like me?" he kept running, not giving up, "Duskmon why are you running away, where are you going?!".
As they ran, a dark cloud went by Duskmon. Once it passed, the warrior of darkness was gone.
Beowolfmon stopped in his tracks, "What?!".
However, the light fusion wasn't the only wolf in the area. Not too far away was a small wolf Digimon with jet wings that I'm sure you know by now.
"Arf, at least things are on track with him," he said, making sure not to be heard by the fusion, "Things were going so well, but now they've snagged, arf," he sighed while walking away, "Big bro was doing so good before, I got too make sure I don't let him or the boss down, aarf,".
The wolf then sat down, "But what am I going to do?" he then thought about his options with closed eyes, "There's got to be something, rrrrgggg?" he then opened his eyes with an idea, "I know, I just got to face this head on Rarf!"
The wolf then jetted off to his goal, for he knew there was another warrior to worry about.
Back with the former steel warrior,
Reflectmon ran frantically, his cloak blowing behind as he breathed heavily.
"I can't, I can't let thei find'ith me!" he stuttered, fearing for his life.
"But they will!" The voice from before taunted, with demonic blue eyes gazing, "And when they do, you will be no more!"
"AAAAhhhh, no, stay away!" Reflectmon screamed, closing his cracked eyes as he pulled down his hat, "Why, why is this happening?".
He then stopped, still shaking with fear. His plans had failed, he had lost everything deer to him, the Seraphimon fractal code, both his spirits, and now he just knew the other warriors wanted him deleted. Fear ate away at the poor Digimon insides, as well as something far worse.
"How, how could my perfect plan go so wrong?" he moaned, "Now thei humans, my former comrades, even, fair Ranamon,".
"Oooh, I beat she'll be the most angry?" the voice taunted, "After what you did, she's sure to smash your sorry face!"
"No, no!" Reflectmon shivered, almost cracking even more, "I can't face her, never, never again,".
However, Reflectmon would have to face his fears eventually. Specifically now because the heroes were not too far away.
"There is!" Zoe shouted.
This alerted the Digimon, causing him to run away in fear again, "No, nooooo, go away!".
"Reflectmon wait, please come back!" Ranamon shouted.
The voice of the water warrior freaked out the metal imp the most.
"Just wait Reflectmon!" Takuya shouted, just as he and the others caught up to the former steel warrior.
However, the heroes soon stopped when Reflectmon turned around and pulled out his rapier.
"S-stay back!" he stuttered as he pointed his weapon at the heroes, still shaking with fear, "Leave'ith me alone!".
"What's with the sword?" JP said, slightly worried.
"Actually, that's a rapier," Bokomon pointed out.
"Oh my," Neemon added.
"Reflectmon calms down, right!" Arbormon pleaded.
"We no hurt friend," Grumblemon added.
"Lies, lies!" Reflectmon screamed in fear, "Thou just want'ith vengeance upon me!".
"That's not at all true sugar!" Ranamon pleaded
"Just let us explain," Zoe pleaded.
"I said back knaves!" Reflectmon screamed as he swung the rapier frantically, slowly stepping back.
Nothing was working, no matter what the heroes tried just seemed to scare the steel imp even more. But then,
"Bugster Blast!" a rough voice shouted.
Suddenly missiles went flying at the former steel warrior. They then exploded into a purple goop with green dots.
"Huh, naaahh!" The goop splashed onto Reflectmon, knocking him down and binding him to a nearby rock.
"Reflectmon!" Ranamon cried.
"What was that!?" Tommy asked, as he and the others gasped at the surprise attack.
He was soon answered when a small wolf Digimon jetted past them towards the trapped Digimon.
"No, no, go away, aaaaahhhhh!" he screamed as he struggled.
"Calm down, I'm not going to hurt you, arf!" a purple wolf said, who was of course Treblemon.
Thankfully, at this point Reflectmon had exhausted him so much that he had fallen unconscious.
"Good, rarf," Treblemon groaned as he walked closer.
"Hey, leave him alone!" Ranamon said, "I swear if you do anything!".
"He just said he wasn't going to hurt him?" JP pointed out.
"Oh, right," Ranamon said, though still worried.
"What's yous doing here Treblemon?" Arbormon asked.
"I think what's happened to your metal friend is more importantly, arf?" the wolf replied.
The others nodded and went to get a closer look at Reflectmon.
"Reflectmon, how could this happen to you?" Takuya asked as he gazed at his reflection in the cracked mirror mask, before thinking, "Did I do this to you somehow?".
"Poor guy," Zoe said, "It's hard to believe just a moment ago he was tormenting us so much?".
"I don't get it, why did he come back all cracked?" Tommy asked.
The Digimon remained quiet, worried for there friend.
"This wasn't supposed to happen?" Treblemon said he as examined Reflectmon, "Guess the boss wasn't kidding when hey said something went wrong?".
This statement alerted the others, making them wonder about the wolf.
"Wait, would do you mean by that?" Takuya asked, feeling suspicious.
"Well the plan was for him to become and join you kids like the other ones," Treblemon explained, before seeming slightly alerted, "Wait, was I not supposed to say that?".
"Hold on, do you know why this happened?" JP asked, getting a bit more suspicious.
"No, I don't think so, rarf?" Treblemon replied, scratching behind his ear, "Though I bet my brother would know how to deal with this,".
"Pardon me, but does anyone know who this dog is really?" Ranamon asked, a bit confused.
This was actually a valid question. Even though he had been popping up a good bit, no one really knew why this wolf Digimon was even on a place like the dark continent. It almost seemed as though he had been following them.
"Come to think of it, it was somewhat convenient for Treblemon to show ups whens I was getting doubtful. Right?" Arbormon asked.
"And when Zoe went after Lamnimon in the forest?" JP added.
"Hmm, why that sound familiar?" Grumblemon thought, nearly reminded of another Digimon who showed up a lot.
"Well, it is my mission to guide you guys, arf," Treblemon said, before flinching, "Wait, was I allowed to say?".
"Your mission?" Tommy asked, sounding confused.
"What are you hiding?!" Takuya asked, getting a little annoyed.
"Did you have something to do with what happened to Mercurymon?!" Ranamon shouted, "You know don't you, spit it out now!".
"Daarrff, uh oh," Treblemon barked, jumping back a bit, feeling slightly nervous. He then turned around before walking away from the heroes a bit, "Oh dear, seems you've guys have gotten too suspicious, rrrrrg," he growled nervously, before casually saying, "I guess I'm going to have to beat that out of you, rarf,".
"What did you say?!" Takuya said, as he and the others flinched.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure your not to be rough with yah, rarf," Treblemon said as he turned around, seeming more menacing as he took a battle stance, "Besides, I've been meaning to try out my new toys, rarararrrh,".
The heroes were a little confused at this, as well as slightly threatened.
"He's not really going to fight us, right?" JP asked, not thinking much of the small wolf.
"Careful, Treblemon did have da nerve to face Plesiomon, right," Arbormon pointed out.
"Still, what can a little pooch like him do to us?" Zoe said, sounding confident.
"Rararrhhrh," Treblemon smirked as he began to glow.
Then from the young wolf arose what looked like a flower like digi-egg with the crest of kindness on it.
"Hang on, didn't I give one dos to my Chamlemon?" Arbormon asked.
"Oh my, it can't be!?" Bokomon said in disbelief, clearly knowing what it was.
"Sure looks like it?" Neemon added, "What is it again?".
"Oh dear," Patamon said, before hiding behind Bokomon.
"W-what is it?" Takuya asked, but Bokomon didn't have time to answer.
"Digi-Armor, Energize, Hoooowwwwlll!" Treblemon howled as he jumped and grabbed the egg with his mouth and glowed.
The Digi armor of kindness showed, before a purple with green spots goop enveloped it, followed by the symbol of Treblemon (resembling his face from a front view) glowing. The wolf's darkened body began to glitch, before armor like the egg began to slam onto him.
Treblemon's eyes glowed as his body began to change form, he began to grow into a bigger wolf, his legs got taller as his claws got sharper, while his tail got slightly shorter, an army gear was growing onto his body, then his jet wings transformed themselves into two gatling guns that hung from his sides.
The transformation was complete the dark green wolf appeared and disappeared, before finally appearing and howling, "Hoowwwll, Houndmon!".
The heroes were stunned at this.
"What the, he digivolved?!" Takuya said in shock.
"Yous gots to be kidding me, right?" Arbormon added.
Houndmon looked like an adult wolf, with dark greenish black armored skin, as well as armor similar to the Chamelemon, kinda like army gear, his tail was shortened to allow quicker movement, and on his sides were two gatling guns that hung off where his wings once were.
"But what was that thing he had?" Tommy asked.
"That was digi-armor son!" Houndmon said, sounding more grown up and army like, "With its power I have become Houndmon!".
Houndmon is one Treblemon's armored forms, created from the digi egg of kindness fused with the unstableness of his bugged body. Designed for stealth combat, he can cloak himself and snipe his targets undercover with his Bug Snipe and Gatling Lupine.
"Digi-arm-wha is it again?" Ranamon asked.
"Digi-armor, it's a type of way certain Digimon use to evolve," Bokomon explained, "In order to do so, a type of digi-egg is used to give the Digimon an armored form, such as Chamelemon and HoneyBeemon,".
"Correct, and I've collected quite a few armors to give me new forms, ggrrrr," Houndmon growled, "And I'll make better use of the powers then the former owners,".
"Wait, then you're the one who attacked the HoneyBeemon!?" Zoe realized, "How could you!?"
"They had it coming with that nasty attitude towards Ranamon, arf," Houndmon explained, "Besides, I made sure they lived, as I will do when I beat the suspension out of you, howl!".
"Hold on a minute, can't we just-?" Takuya tried to say, but the wolf was tired of waiting.
Houndmon then shot a few warning shots near the heroes, "Better armor up, harhahra,".
"I suggest you do so gentlemen!" Bokomon nervously suggested, while he and the other two Digimon went to take cover.
"Guess there's no choice?" Takuya groaned, before he and the other humans readied their D-tectors, "Let's see you handle Aldamon!" Takuya then tried to fusion evolve, but he then flinched in pain, "Arrgh, huh, why won't this work, gahh!".
"Takuya!" Zoe said with worry.
"Guess you tired yourself out from all the battling, rarf," Houndmon said, though it was hard to tell if he was taunting or not.
This made the other humans worried, did this mean their fusion also wouldn't work?
"No need fusion, normal spirit still strong!" Grumblemon proclaimed as he readied his hammer.
"Yeahs, we's got this, right," Arbormon added.
Ranamon nodded as she readied for battle, before glancing at the cracked Reflectmon.
Well this didn't get rid of all of their worries, it did motivate the humans to fight no matter what.
"Right!" they said before readying their D-tectors.
The spirits of fire, ice, wind, and thunder all glowed as the humans began their digivolution. In a matter of moments, the armor had pressed on and turned them into,
"Agunimon!".
"Kumamon!"
"Kazemon!"
"Beetlemon!".
"Are you ready, rarf!?" Houndmon shouted enthusiastically.
The other warriors nodded and were then ready to battle.
Houndmon smirked, before vanishing, similar to how the Chamelemon would normally do.
The heroes flinched at this.
"Where'd he go?" Kumamon asked.
"Stay alert!" Agunimon commanded.
"Come on now sugar, I thought you wanted to fight?" Ranamon said, before a cross-hairs target appeared blinking on her, "Huh, what's this?"
"Bug Snipe!" Houndmon shouted, before shooting out a red laser snipe out of his nose at Ranamon.
"Whaaa!" the water warrior screamed, as she flailed to dodge the snipe, which lasted for a while. She was able to fall to the ground, but the snipe did singe the top of her headgear a bit, "Ohw, I guess I shouldn't have asked?".
"Ranamon!" Grumblemon cried, before the cross-hair reticle appeared blinking on his nose, "Huh, narrhh!" he quickly ducked as the laser went by before fading.
"Gerr, come out you coward, Thunder Fist!" Beetlemon shouted before throwing an attack where the snipes were coming from. Sadly it appeared to not hit the stealthy wolf, "Darn it!" Beetlemon groaned.
But suddenly Houndmon reappeared behind the lighting bug, "Gatling Lupine!" the guns on his sides then let loose a barrage of shots.
"JP!" Kazemon screamed as she flew to try to move the bug, but only got caught in the fire with him.
"Oww," they moaned after being knocked down.
"Rarararahh!" Houndmon laughed.
"Whys dat little!" Arbormon growled.
"Don't let him get away!" Agunimon commanded, before he and Kumamon tried to jump the bugged wolf.
But Houndmon quickly sprang back and readied another attack, "Too slow, rarf, Gatling Lupine!"
The guns began to gatle, but Arbormon wasn't going to have, "Hang in, right!" he then extended his hands to grab the warriors of fire and ice and get them out of the way, but just barely.
"Thanks Arbormon," Kumamon said with relief as he and Agunimon got up.
"Hey, it's always good to lend a helping hand, yah understand?" Arbormon replied.
"He must be hiding something big if he's fighting this hard?" Agunimon said.
"You bet, wait am I, no, geerr, never mind!" Houndmon growled, before disappearing.
Meanwhile with Koji,
After much running, Beowolfmon came to a cliff, still unable to find Duskmon.
The warrior of light gazed upon the dim rocky valley, annoyed that his foe had vanished.
"Where did he go?" he growled with his arms up, "Duskmon!".
He wasn't sure why, but when the light warrior saw that boy inside Duskmon, it felt rather familiar. Like something from long ago, that had been forgot as time passed. Koji needed answers and if he was going to get them, he needed to find the warrior of darkness. But where could he be?
However, he was soon answered when he noticed the skull clad Digimon about to enter some ruins. Duskmon then stopped, gazing back at the light fusion, making him flinch.
Beowolfmon then leaped down, making his way to the ruins.
The three moons barely showed through the murky clouds on the dark continent. The land spiraled into mountains. The paths that wrapped around the spirals, and next to them were doorless openings carved into the mountains leading into ruins of a forgotten time.
Beowolfmon then landed in front of one of these doors, before slowly walking into the dark room, barely illuminated by the carved-out windows.
As he looked around, he was soon alerted by a voice.
"Who are you?" the menacing voice of the dark warrior asked.
"I could ask you the same question?" Beowolfmon replied, as Duskmon lurked in the shadows.
"Why do you follow me?" the dark warrior asked.
"Because I felt I had to," the light fusion answered, briefly seeing a shadow go by a window.
"Your presence is painful to me," Duskmon said.
"Is that why you hide from me in the shadows?" Beowolfmon asked.
"It is not," Duskmon replied from a shadowy corner.
"Then why?"
Duskmon remained quiet, before closing his eyes, "Destiny,".
"Destiny?".
"Darkness hides from the light until it is ready to destroy it," Duskmon explained, "You, warrior of light, are my destiny, darkness will prevail," he then stepped out from the corner, "Your light shall be extinguished!" he then crossed his arms and drew his blood red swords.
Beowolf then drew his own weapon, a spear made from the blades of KendoGarurumon.
Duskmon then jumped down to the fusion, their weapons colliding loudly.
The warriors of light and dark growled as they struggled against each other. As this happened, the human forms of the warriors flicked, Koji and the unknown boy that resembled him.
This made them both flinch, just before the sheer power of their attacks forced them back.
While both warriors were knocked down briefly inside the darkened hallways, Beowolfmon didn't let up.
"Frozen Hunter!" he shouted, causing a ghostly blue wolf made of flame flying at his foe.
However, neither did Duskmon, "Deathly Gaze!" he then fired out red lasers in retaliation.
The two attacks sped past each other towards their targets, much to the legendary warriors dismay.
The attacks then hit with a force so great that it caused the mountain ruins they were in to crumble. Something that made the one behind all this chuckle.
Back with the other warriors,
The heroes were still struggling with the stealthy Houndmon. The armored wolf kept them on their toes with his constant bug snipes.
"Wait, can't we just do what we did with the Chamelemon?" Kumamon suggested.
"Yeah, yeah, Golemon do trick!" Grumblemon nodded as he pulled out the potion.
"Negative!" Houndmon said as he appeared and readied his blasters, "Gatling Lupin!".
The blasters spun rapidly as they unload shots at the troll.
"Ah!" Grumblemon screamed as the shots made him dance, causing him to throw the potion upwards.
Houndmon then leaped forward and grabbed the potion in his mouth. He then landed and chuckled, "Rrararaharhar," before vanishing.
"Hey no fair, me fore using that!" Grumblemon growled.
"How are we going to find him now?" Kazemon moaned.
"There's got to be another way to stop his invisibility," Agunimon thought as he looked at the other warriors. But then he remembered that they had a new warrior with them, "Wait a minute, Ranamon!".
"Huh, you talking to me sugar?" the water warrior said, before frantically dodging another snipe.
"Use your draining rain on me!" Agunimon commanded.
"I beg your pardon?" Ranamon replied, sounding confused, "I don't think now's really the best time to cool off sugar?".
"Just do it!" Agunimon shouted, startling her a bit.
"Wha, okay okay, no need to shout sugar," Ranamon replied, slightly annoyed, "Draining Rain!".
Then as the cloud began to form, Agunimon smirked before doing his attack, "Pyro Tornado!" he then spun around creating a tornado of fire around himself.
Then as the rain landed on the flames, it began to evaporated into steam.
The steam then began to fill the area like a fog. Then within the steam covered fog, the shape of Houndmon became clear.
"Got'cha yah!" Agunimon smirked, "Now guys!"
"Blockage Seed!" Arbormon said as he shot a seed from his mouth. It then exploded into vines, trapping the wolf.
"Hurricane waves!" Kazemon said as she summoned tornados from her fingers.
"Blizzard Blaster!" Kumamon said as he pulled out his blaster let loose the missles.
The attacks collided on Houndmon, knocking him aside and clearing the mist.
"Arrfff!" he cried in pain, before trying to stand back up, his cloaking malfunctioning.
"Give back now boy!" Grumblemon shouted as he punched Houndmon's jaw, causing the wolf to let go of the potion. The earth warrior grabbed it, before jumping back towards the others.
"How you like that doggy!" Beetlemon taunted.
Houndmon just growled back.
"We've beaten you!" Agunimon said, "Now what do you know about Reflectmon!".
"Beat me, sure you did?" Houndmon said sarcastically, "If that was my only armored form,".
Houndmon then turned back to Treblemon and soon after a new armor that was silver with two axe wings on its sides with the crest of love on it.
"You gotta be kidding me?" Agunimon groaned.
The crest of love glowed, before a purple with green spots goop enveloped it, followed by the symbol of Treblemon (resembling his face from a front view) glowing. The wolf's darkened body began to glitch, before armor like the egg began to slam onto him.
Treblemon's eyes glowed as his body began to change form, he stood up right as his jet wings became armored bird wings like giant eagle, his lower paws started to look more like talons, then his tail split into many and looked like a bird's tail.
The evolution was complete, as the silver clad wolf bird spread his wings and screeched, "Roooaaaaaawwwwrrr, Falzarmon!".
The heroes were left stunned at the sight of this new Digimon. It looked like an older mature Treblemon with a more black than purple body, but in a silver armor that made him look like a large bird, with a huge pair of silver metal wings in place of his jet wings and front legs, with his hind legs hanging down with talons as he floated in the air, his head now covered by armor with two axes coming out of it on the side,
"What the heck is that?!" Kumamon screamed.
"I told you already, I am now Falzarmon!" the armored bird said, his voice seeming raspier and bird like, "Bet'cha didn't see me grab this from the defeated Pepismon did yah?"
One of Treblemon's armored forms, with more powerful wings he can soar high in the sky and can easily blow his enemies away with his Striker Feathers.
Falzarmon then swooped upwards, before flapping his wings rapidly, "Striker Feathers!" he screeched, as he flapped his wings and shot tornadoes filled with razor sharp quills at the heroes.
The feathers came down so fast, that the legendary warriors couldn't dodge, only attempting to shield themselves from the sharpness.
"Rararaarhh, come and get me!" Falzarmon howled.
"You asked for it!" Agunimon said, before being covered in fractal code, "Slide evolution!" he then morphed into, "BurningGreymon!".
Kazemon then did the same, "Slide Evolution!" she then became, "Zephyrmon!"
The beasts of fire and wind then took flight to confront the armored wolf bird.
"Count me in!" Beetlemon said as he took flight, while the others were still recovering from the feathers.
Falzarmon looked at his airborne foes before letting out a screech.
"Did you do this to Reflectmon?!" BurningGreymon asked.
"No way, arrrch, that would go completely against the mission!" the bird replied.
"What mission, to destroy world or something nasty?" Beetlemon accused.
"Not at all!" Falzarmon replied, very ticked of by the accusation, "That would be stupid and cliche!"
"Then what?" Zpehyrmon asked.
"Well that would be too-?" Falzarmon quickly stopped himself, "Rark, none of your business, Raaaarrrcc, Sticker Feathers!" he then let loose another barrage of razor quills.
BurningGreymon being the biggest, struggled the most against the feathers, so he flew to the right to avoid further damage. Beetlemon followed this tactic and flew towards the left.
Zephyrmon however, was able to easily swiftly dodge through the feathers with her ninja speed. The wind beast was now in the attack range of Falzarmon.
"Plasma Paws!" her talons then glowed as she swiped past the silver bird wolf.
"Raarrrcc!" Falzarmon growled in pain.
Beetlemon then flew in with his attack, "Thunder Fist!" the lighting warrior's fist then began to spark.
"Oh no you don't, Cybeast Spiral!" Falzarmon then fired from his mouth a swirling tornado of energy at the bug.
"Aaaaagghh!" Beetlemon screamed as he was blasted down, unable to land his attack.
"Harahra!" Falzarmon laughed confidently.
"Remember me?" BurningGreymon said as he flew up from behind.
"Huh?" Falzarmon squaked, as he turned in surprise.
"Pyro Barrage!" BurningGreymon then activated his blasters and let loose a barrage of fire blasts directly at Falzarmon.
"Raaaarrrrkkk!" the bird screamed as he fell from the sky.
"Nice one!" Kumamon praised from below.
"Hahaha!" Grumblemon laughed in agreement.
However, the armored wolf bird was finished yet.
Falzarmon then swooped in and grabbed Kumamon and Grumblemon with his talons, before taking off upwards.
"Tommy!" Zephyrmon screamed.
"Grumblemon!" Beetlemon screamed.
"Ahhhh!" they screamed as the armored bird got higher.
"Raraharharhrarh!" Falzarmon laughed.
"What are going to do!?" Kumamon asked.
"We do this, execute!" Grumblemon shouted, before being enveloped in fractal code.
"Oh right, execute!" Kumamon said, as the same happened to him.
"Slide evolution!" they said as they morphed into their beast forms,
"Blizzardmon!"
"Gigasmon!"
With the sudden extra weight, Falzarmon then began to go down, "Raarrk, hey!?" he squawked, flapping his wings to try to hold the weight.
"Hang on guys, Blockade Seed!" Arbormon said, before firing out a seed at the armor bird.
"Draining Rain!" Ranamon then made water pour onto the seed, causing it to grow into a tree.
The now grown seed exploded, causing Falzarmon to drop the ice and earth beast, as well as getting wrapped in vines.
"Avalanche Axes!" Blizzardmon then threw his axes at the bird while he fell.
The attack hurt Falzarmon a good bit, but also allowed him to free himself of the vines.
Gigasmon hit the ground first, landing fine. Though he did get flatten slightly when Blizzardmon landed on him.
"Sorry," Blizzardmon apologized, to which Gigasmon just groaned.
Meanwhile with the other two warriors,
The land was covered in an ominous fog and rubble from the destroyed ruins.
Duskmon was barely standing up, when he saw a glowing blade coming at him.
"Looking for me!?" Beowolfmon shouted as he jumped and brought down his weapon on the skull-clad villain.
Duskmon quickly drew his swords and blocked the attack. He then lunged at the light fusion, violently slashing his blood red blades and forcing him back.
Beowolfmon blocked each slash with his weapon, standing strong as he was forced back. Eventually Duskmon's sword went in between the two gold blades. Beowolfmon quickly acted on this and forced the dark warrior's arm down.
Duskmon tried to retaliate with his other arm, but Beowolfmon quickly kicked him back. The light fusion then lunged at Duskmon.
The two then went rolling down the rocky land, mercurially beating each other fiercely.
Eventually, Beowolfmon tackled Duskmon into a hole. The two legendary warriors went plunging into the dark abyss with tall pillars that resembled trees, soon hitting a rock and separating then falling to the water below.
The light fusion hit the water first. Groaning as he struggled to stand with a ton of bruises and scratches on his armor. He then heard another splash nearby, knowing it was Duskmon. He then went charging towards his foe, but the dark warrior was ready.
Their blades flashed in the dark as the warriors stuck at each other, their image fading in and out of view.
Back with the others,
Falzarmon was still pelting the heroes with a flurry of feathers.
"Yow, quite it already you flying turkey!" Ranamon moaned from below.
"Plasma Paws!" Zephyrmon then flew in for another attack, but Falzarmon was ready this time. The silver bird wolf then charged right at the ninja harpie, cutting her with his sharp wings.
Zephyrmon flinched and groaned at this, but that wasn't all.
"Cybeast Spiral!" Falzarmon then shot an energy swirl that fired the wind beast.
"AAAAhhhhh!" she screamed, as she turned back to Kazemon.
"That's it, execute!" Beetlemon growled with anger, before being enveloped in fractal code, "Slide Evolution!" he then became the thunder tank bug beast, "MetalKabuterimon!"
The thunder beast slammed onto the ground before leaning down, readying his cannon as the targeting reticle screen popped up.
"Hah, catch me if you can buggy boy, Raarrckkk!" Falzarmon screeched before zipping away from the target.
"Gar, hold still you jerk!" MetalKabuterimon moaned.
"Rararaahaharr!" Falzarmon cackled.
However, unknownst to the armored wolf bird,
"Slide Evolution!" Arbormon said as he became, "Petaldramon!" the large forest lizard then shot out his tongue at Falzarmon.
Because he was distracted by his laughing, Falzarmon wasn't able to notice in time that he was snared.
"Rarck!?".
"Now JP!" Petaldramon shouted as he struggled to hold the rather sharp bird wolf.
"Got it, Electron Cannon!" MetalKabuterimon then charged up and fired the lighting blast at Falzarmon.
"Scraaaaaarrrrkkk!" he cried as he was electrocuted.
However, the electricity also traveled through Petaldramon's tongue, shocking him as well, "Dalalalalalaahh!".
After much zapage, the wood beast finally let go of the bird wolf. Falzarmon then went hurdinly downwards.
"Sorry about that big guy," MetalKabuterimon sheepishly said to Petaldramon, who was still a bit stunned from before.
The wood beast then blinked a bit, before shaking a little, "Forgetaboutit, lighting doesn't do's much to wood anyways, right," he replied, before coughing out a bit of static.
Meanwhile the armored wolf bird was barely able to stop himself from crashing to the ground.
"Now time to scrawk secret bird brain!" Gigasmon said.
"Well, not bad, rarfk," Falzarmon said as he tried to remain flying, before another digi egg armor appeared, "But let's see if you can handle the powers I snatched from those bees!".
"How many of these things does this pooch have?" BurningGreymon complained.
"Oh don't worry sugar, I'm sure what he gets from that won't be too tough?" Ranamon said, "No offence to my fans, but the Honeybeemon weren't all that big I the fighting department,"
"Don't be so sure?" Bokomon said from behind the rock Reflectmon was stuck too.
"Digi-Armor, Energize, Hoooowwwwlll!" Treblemon howled as he grabbed the egg and glowed.
The Digi armor of knowledge showed, before a purple with green spots goop enveloped it, followed by the symbol of Treblemon glowing. The wolf's darkened body began to glitch, before armor like the egg began to slam onto him.
Treblemon's eyes glowed as his body began to change form, he began to become more insect-like, his wings becoming two large pincers, followed by three drills appearing.
The evolution was complete, as the insect clad wolf spun his drills and howled, "Roooaaaaaawwwwrrr, GroundLiomon!".
GroundLiomon was a large wolf with yellow insect armor that covered most of his blacked body similar to a Digmon, the back of his paws had tank treads, his wings had become large purple pincers that folded back, and on his shoulders was two large drills, as well as one coming out of his snout.
"T-that doesn't look anything like a bee?" Ranamon said with worry.
"That's what I was trying to tell you," Bokomon explained, "Not all Digimon are affected the same way by armor digivolving,".
"Well how was I supposed to know!" Ranamon ranted.
"I just told you, now pay attention!" Bokomon replied, sounding annoyed, before hiding behind the rock.
GroundLiomon another one of Treblemon's armored forms. Designed to attack like an antlion, he trap his prey in a sand pit as well as plow throught them with his Ground Run and Doruru Bits.
"Ground Run!" GrondLiomon growled, before his tank treads started running, causing him to charge forwards with his drill spinning.
"Whaaa!" Ranamon screamed, barely managing to jump out of the way.
"No pass!" Gigasmon shouted as he jumped at the bugwolf, as he readied for the impact.
GroundLeomon slammed into the giant full force. Gigasmon held strong for a time, but eventually he was forced aside by the armored wolf.
"Naaaaaahhh!" he screamed before hitting the ground, "Ouch,".
"Why you!" MetalKabuterimon was ready to intercept the drill wolf, with his cannon. However, just as he locked on, GroundLiomon suddenly dove into the ground.
"Huh, where'd he go?" the lighting beast asked.
Suddenly the land beneath began to rumble. Then the land started to become like sand and started to swirl like a whirlpool.
"Huh, why am I getting a sinking feeling?" MetalKabuterimon shouted as the sand began to sink him into the center.
The bug tank's treds sped with great force, but he kept on sinking.
Then from the center of the sand whirlpool, GroundLiomon emerged with drills spinning. MetalKabuterimon then frantically tried to increase speed, but he wouldn't have the chance.
Once the tank was close enough, the pincers on GroundLiomon's sides then snapped forward and grabbed the lightning beast, "GrandSnare!" GroundLiomon howled, before drilling into the bug tank.
"AAAhhhhh, make it stop!" MetalKabuterimon moaned in pain,
"Slide evolve now bug boy!" Gigasmon suggested, still downed from the drills.
"Good idea, execute!" The tank replied, before being covered in fractal code, "Slide evolution!" he then turned back to, "Beetlemon!" However, he soon found that the drill wolf bug still had his sharp mandibles on him, "Huh, oh come on!?" he complained, before the drills reactivated, "This is worse than the dentist, AAAAAAhhhh!"
GroundLiomon snickerd, before attempting to drag the lighting warrior into the ground.
"JP no!" Kazemon cried as she flew towards the pit.
"Hang on!" Blizzardmon then launched his arrowhead dreadlocks and grabbed Beetlemon.
However, GroundLiomon's grip was strong, as were the treads on his legs that were speeding back into the ground.
Kazermon and Ranamon then started to pull on the dreadlocks, while Gigasmon grabbed Blizzardmon from behind, followed by Petaldramon grabbing with his tongue. The legendary warriors all pulled with great force, trying to free their friend. But GroundLiomon wouldn't let up.
But then BurningGreymon went diving towards the pit, "Let him go now!" the dragon demanded, before flames began to erupt from his body, "Wildfire Tsunami!" with his body now ablaze the fire beast swooped in and grabbed the pincers, struggling to pull them apart.
With the strength combined, the heroes were finally able to free Beetlemon, who quickly flew out of the pit and flopped onto the stable ground.
"Ow, thanks guys," He moaned in pain.
"Hah, I dare yah to try that again!" BurningGreymon boasted as his flames disspurst.
"Okay, hooowwwl!" GroundLiomon then lunged at the dragon and snared him in his pincers.
"What!?"
"Ground Run!" he then rammed into BurningGreymon with his drills, knocking the dragon into ground, before being pushed downward by the wolf's gouging assault.
"AAAaahhhh!" the dragon screamed in pain, before the drills devolved him back to Agunimon.
GroundLiomon then tossed the fire warrior aside out of the hole he had made.
Agunimon struggled to get up, but the drills had done a number on him and caused him to devolve to human form.
"Takuya!" the others shouted.
GroundLiomon then jumped out of the ground into the sky, followed by the digi-egg of love then appeared and turned Treblemon into Falzarmon, "Who's next, rarf?".
Meanwhile elsewhere,
The battle between the warriors of light and dark raged in the dark abyss. As they continued to fight in the cavern that had blue brick walls, something lurked in the shadows.
And for once it's not me.
Watching from the walls with his glowing red eyes and mouth, was a shadow that resembled a large demonic rabbit.
"Perfect," the shadow laughed.
The two warriors locked weapons once again, neither backing down. Their sheer might forced each other back.
The dark shadow chuckled as the warriors clashed. For he knew the secret of Duskmon, and he believed that dark secret would allow him to triumph over the others.
This proved to be true when Duskmon was able to knock down Beowolfmon. He then held his swords at the light warrior's neck, ready to crosscut him.
"You are mine!" he proclaimed as he prepared for the kill.
However, as Beowolfmon struggled the image of Koji shined, making the warrior of darkness hesitate.
"Koji?" he said as he lowered his blades slightly.
Beowolfmon noticed this and grabbed his weapon and retaliated against, striking back the dark warrior.
In a flash, the blood red swords were sliced off and went flying, much to shadowy one's dismay.
Beowolfmon then charged at the disarmed dark warrior, forcing him forward with his spear through the water. He then pinned Duskmon against one of the pillars.
"Darkness will never defeat me!" Beowolfmon proclaimed.
Duskmon remained silent, his head trapped between the two blades.
"Cleansing Light!" Beowolfmon then pointed his arm cannon at the dark warrior, charging it up to obliterate the final fallen warrior.
However, the face of the mysterious boy flicked over Duskmon, causing the light fusion to hesitate.
"Huh, who are you?"
But suddenly, a dark orange lighting struck the light fusion.
"Naaaaaagghhh! He screamed in pain.
Duskmon wondered what caused this, but he soon noticed the attacker in the shadows, "Lord Cherubimon,".
As the light fusion struggled with the pain, he was able to catch a glimpse of the demonic Rabbit Digimon's shadow, "That is Cherubimon?".
"Warrior of light, you're a blight on my realm," Cherubimon growed with a deep dark voice, "The time has come for me to show you true fear!".
The shadow of the demon rabbit then summoned a black orb that glowed with white light in it's center and threw it at the light fusion. The orb then consumed Beowolfmon, plunging him into darkness.
"Did you really believe I would allow you to defeat the son of darkness, my own creation?" Cherubimon asked as the light fusion fell into the void, "Hehehahahahah!"
The fallen digimon's darkness then spread throughout the cavern. Duskmon was then levitated into the dark cloud, before the hands of Cherubimon slowly grabbed him.
"His creation?" Duskmon wondered as he faded away.
Back with the others,
Treblemon's armored forms had left the heroes beaten and exhausted. Takuya was basically down for the count, but the others were still able to fight, mostly.
"Draining Rain!" Ranamon then summoned a rain cloud that unleashed a storm on the silver bird. The harsh waters poured down fiercely, making it hard for Falzarmon to ascend, "Try flying through sugar!".
However, Falzarmon quickly did just that and escaped the storm and went speeding towards Ranamon.
"Oh come on!" she whined, before noticing how close the bird wolf was getting, "Hey no wait just a minute, s-slow down sugar, whaaaa!"
She tried to run, but Falzarmon was too fast and quickly grabbed the water warrior in his talons.
"Scarrrrkk!" Falzarmon screeched, as he took off into the sky.
"Let me go, whaaaaa!" she screamed.
"Ranamon, hang on!" Gigasmon shouted, before mustering up the strength to go springing into the air like a superhero at the silver bird.
The earth giant grabbed onto the sharp bird's leg, which ended up weighing him down.
"Raarrrk, hey let go you-," Falzarmon said, before Gigasmon punched him in the face, "Raarrk oiw!".
This impact caused him to loosen his grip, allowing the earth beast to free Ranamon. Gigasmon then grabbed the water warrior and jumped down.
However, Falzarmon had shaken off the punch and was not going to leave it at that, "Oh no you don't, Cybeast Spiral!" he then shot out a spiraling energy attack that scorched the back of the earth giant.
"Gerrrr," Gigasmon groaned in pain, but that wasn't going to be the worst part.
The digi-egg of knowledge then appeared and Falzarmon grabbed, turning into GroundLiomon. The drill bug wolf then went diving straight at Gigasmon.
However, the wood beast was ready to protect, "Ain't happening right!" he shouted as he stood up and swayed side to side, "Leaf Cyclone!" his petals then spun before unleashing a leaf filled tornado at GroundLiomon.
The cyclone quickly consumed the drill wolf, sending him slamming into the ground.
However, when Gigasmon hit the ground, the damage he had taken combined with the impact was enough to turn him back to Grumblemon.
"Nrrggg, that hurt," Grumblemon groaned after putting the water warrior down.
"Grumblemon," Ranamon moaned, very concerned as she went to help up the earth warrior, "Thanks for the save sugar, just maybe watch your back next k?"
"Don't worrys, I's just downed dah dog, right," Petaldramon said.
But then a cross-hair reticle appeared on the lizard's forehead.
"Heuh?"
"Bug Snipe!" Houndmon the fired red laser right at the wood beast.
"Yaaaaaoooowwww!" he screamed as the laser pierced his head, before he fell back turning back into Arbormon, "Ow, that's smart, right,".
"No, Arbormon!" Blizzardmon shouted, before the recital started blinking on him, "Whoa," he quickly ducked, before turning back to Kumamon to be a smaller target.
With that, the former evil warriors seemed down for the count.
Houndmon then jumped towards the three remaining warriors.
"Rarhahahar, your move," he taunted as he appeared.
Despite having the military clad wolf outnumbered, they were hesitant and unable to defeat Houndmon.
"What are we going to do now?" Kazemon moaned.
"His forms are just so tricky," Kumamon added.
"Hang in there, ow," Grumblemon groaned, while the water warrior tried to help him stand.
"Come on, just use your fusions already!" Takuya suggested.
"Right," Arbormon added, still rather hurt.
"Oh sure, if only our fusions would work," Beetlemon complained.
However, this made the wolf wince, "What are you talking about?" Houndmon asked, "Your fusion should still be working just fine?".
"Huh, what do you know!?" Beetlemon replied, trying to be tough.
"I know that they should be working," Houndmon said, slightly annoyed, "Wait, d-did he say something about the fusions?!" he said after looking at the trapped Reflectmon.
"Well he did say that they weren't supposed to have the fusions," Neemon said, poking up from the rock Reflectmon was stuck too with Patamon flying nearby.
"Get down he you fool!" Bokomon shouted as he grabbed Neemon's pants and dragged him down.
"Ooohhhh!" he cried.
"Oh dear," Patamon nervously said as he flew down.
Houndmon blinked a bit, slightly confused. Before shaking it off, literally. "Have you guys seriously been thrown of by that?" he asked.
"Well, I?" Kazemon said, with a bit of embarrassment.
"Maybe a little?" Kumamon added.
"Okay, so maybe what he said did throw us off, so what?" Beetlemon groaned, "Why do you care, shouldn't you be blasting us?"
Houndmon let a sigh, before getting focused, "Look, no matter what anyone else says, you three earned those fusions," he explained, sounding encouraging, "Despite the steel beast deception, you all fought through and earned those forms!".
Despite currently being an enemy, the words of the wolf actually seemed to motivate them, at least a little bit. However, they were still unsure.
"Houndmon's right, you guys earned those fusions," Takuya said, still struggling to get up.
"Yeah, yeah, him true," Grumblemon added.
"Right!" Arbormon added.
"Believe me, I got to see one of them up close sugar," Ranamon said, "I hate to admit it, but you really were stunning with your fusion Zoe,".
The warriors of thunder, wind, and ice thought about these words of encouragement. They were right, and they could feel it in their spirits!
"You know what, your right!" Beetlemon proclaimed, "Who cares what sir flat face said!"
"Sephirothmon was wrong, those fusion's are ours!" Kazemon added.
"Yeah!" Kumamon cheered.
"But can they even still work?" Patamon asked, sounding concerned.
"Well let's find out!" Beetlemon said, before he and the others were surrounded by a ton of fractal code.
"Fusion Evolution!" the three of them as the evolution began!
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 lightning, he then opened his mouth under his two horns of rhino and stag and proclaimed himself, "RhinoKabuterimon!"
Both of the spirits of ice glowed as the young boy was covered in fractal code. The spirits each gave pieces of themselves as Tommy gained a new form. The fractal code then exploded away, revealing a giant purple penguin with ice pops? The bird then breathed out a puff of cold air and proclaimed himself as, "Daipenmon!"
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 pack active, she then grabbed her wepion a large blue pinwheel and proclaimed herself "JetSilphymon!".
"Ah yeah!" RhinoKabuterimon roared.
"Our fusions really worked!" JetSilphymon cheered, before checking herself out a bit.
Daipengmon just danced happily while squawking, "Wak, wak, wak, wak!".
"Great job guys, I'm glad you got things sorted out, arf," Houndmon cheered, much to the other confusions.
"Um aren't you supposed to be fighting us?" JetSilphymon asked.
"Huh, oh right, lets go!" Houndmon said before vanishing.
A retical then appeared on JetSilphymon, "Here we go again," she said sarcastically.
"Bug Snipe!"
A red beam then fired, but the wind fusion quickly darted upwards, avoiding the snipe.
"I've had enough of your hiding!" JetSilphymon said as she readied her pinwheel, "Ultra Turbulence!" the weapon spun rapidly, as she swung a huge gust of wind at the ground, blowing up some dust and dirt.
Then some of the debris ended up sticking to the invisible Houndmon.
"Got'cha, Thunder Laser!" RhinoBeetlemon roared as he locked sites onto the Wolf and fired his attack.
The Laser zapped Houndmon in place, "Hooooooouuuuwwwwllll!" he screamed as the lighting removed his invisibility.
Daipengmon then opened up and fired out Arcticmon, who went flying at the stunned wolf, "Icicle Giri!" he then cross-slashed Houndmon, sending him flying.
"Raaaaooooooowwww!" the wolf screamed, before landing, "Gerrrr, digi-armor energize!" the digi-egg of love then appeared, turning him into Falzarmon.
The silver bird wolf then took flight, high to the sky to strike the wind fusion.
"Don't even think about it!" RhinoBeetlemon shouted before opening his wings and taking flight.
Daipengmon then also tried to take flight. But being a penguin wasn't that type of bird, he didn't get off the ground, much to it's dismay, "Awwww, wak,".
"Don't worry, they got this," Arcticmon assured his bird friend.
Up in the air, JetSilphymon and Falzarmon were locked in combat. The two clashed as they flew past one another.
"Jet Binter!" The wind fusion then shot wind blast at the wolf bird.
Falzarmon was slightly stunned by this, but was quickly ready to retaliate, "Striker Feathers!" he then threw the gust of razor feathers at his foe.
Her armor protected JetSilphymon from most of the assault. However, a few stray feathers did cut her belly a bit, making her flinch.
Falzarmon then dived at the jet-clad warrior, "Scaaaarrrrrkkk!".
But JetSilphymon was able to react and blocked the talons with her pinwheel.
The two struggled as they tried to force their way through each other.
However, it was at this time that RhinoKabuterimon had flown past them and turned around. The lighting fusion then charged towards them and jabbed his horn into the back of Falzarmon.
"Raaaaaaarrkrkk!" the bird screamed in.
"This will light things up, Condenser Storm!" the beetle then charged up his attack.
JetSilphymon then took off as an explosion of electricity consumed the two.
Once the lighting faded, Falzarmon went crashing to the ground.
"Alright!" Agunimon cheered, beginning to free himself of the goop.
"Great job sugar!" Ranamon added.
"That dorkus fried chicken now!" Grumblemon cheered, as Ranamon helped him up.
"Careful nows, it's like I always say, it ain't over till it's over, right," Arbormon said as he limped to the others.
"Rrrrright!" GroundLiomon shouted as he emerged from the smoke, lunging towards the fusion warriors, "Doruru Bits!" He then fired drills from his nose at the heroes in the sky.
JetSilphymon swiftly dodged and whacked them aside, while the bits bounced off the thunder fusions insectoid armor.
RhinoKabuterimon then flew to the ground and charged the wolf bug.
"Ground Run!" GroundLiomon then charged forward into the thunder bug.
The two then collided, neither backing down as they tried to force through each other.
"You're really not letting up?" RhinoKabuterimon groaned, "Just give up and spill your secret already!".
"Never, hooooowwlll!" GroundLiomon roared as his drills spun.
Suddenly, Arcticmon then jumped up from behind the bug with his axe blasters at the ready, "Blizzard Barrage!" he then let loose a flurry of snowballs and missiles.
"RRRRGGG!" the bug wolf groaned.
This distracted him enough for RhinoKabuterimon to force him back, "Raaarrrhhh!"
GroundLiomon then went flying, which the wind fusion was ready to take advantage of.
"Ultra Turbulence!" JetSilphymon then tossed a tornado at the bug wolf.
"Thunder Laser!" RhinoKabuterimon roared as he fired his attack into the storm.
Diapengmon then breathed out an ice wind that combined with the whirlwind. The icy lighting storm then hit GroundLiomon,
"Hooowwwwwlllll!" he screamed as he turned back to Treblemon.
And with that final blow, the armored wolf was defeated.
"Hooray, you did it!" The three Digimon from behind the rock cheered.
Treblemon was then knocked back and slid on the ground, "Arf!" he yelped in pain, before struggling to get up. However, despite the damage, no fractal code was showing.
"Alright, now tell us what you know!" RhinoKabuterimon demanded
"What do you know about what happened to Mercurymon?" JetSilphymon asked.
"I'm, sorry, I really don't know arf," Treblemon moaned.
"Then why'd you attack us then?" Arcticmon asked, "What is your mission?".
"Who's this boss yo mentioned," RhinoKabuterimon pointed out, "No more hiding!".
But then, the shadow of a Digimon resembling a Megidramon flew over the heroes.
"Huh, who what that me feel?" he thought as he felt a presence he hadn't felt in a while, "Grumblemon not feel since Duskmon and-?".
"Element Storm!".
Then suddenly towers of fire, water, electricity, and wood began erupting beneath the fusion warriors.
"What the, ahhhhh?!" they cried as the attacks devolved the fusions back to their human form.
"Oh my, what is that?!" Bokomon cried.
"Something really colorful?" Neemon stupidly added.
"Guys!" Patamon cried.
Takuya and the other Digimon were both shocked and concerned. Quickly running to help up their human friends.
"Guys, I'm coming!" Takuya cried
"Hangs on, right," Arbormon said as he and Grumblemon helped the others.
"Please be okay sugars," Ranamon said as she helped Zoe up, "Oh my, what could have done this?".
"Grumblemon not see this since?".
Just then a lot of fractal code dispersed from the sky, coming from a large Digimon de-digivolving.
"What the heck are you doing to my brother!?" A familiar young voice shouted.
A voice that Grumblemon recognized, "Huh, wait, no can be?".
Then in front of Treblemon landed the bug clad Digimon himself, Scutlemon.
"Scutlemon, you alive!?" Grumblemon said in disbelief, feeling both glad to see him okay but also very confused.
"Of course I'm alive!" Scutlemon replied, still rather annoyed, "Now why are you attacking my brother!?".
Just when there heroes thought they were close to getting answers out of Treblemon, the viral miracle Scutlemon had appeared and was not too happy.
"Wait, did something happen to him before?" Ranamon asked.
"Last me see Scutlemon, him digivolve to Viralmon and help Grumblemon free Arbormon spirit from Duskmon," the earth warrior explained, "Me steal spirit, but not know what fore happen to Scutlemon?".
"Well right before that jerk got me, my little brother Treblemon saved," Scutlemon explained, before getting mad again, "Which begs the question, why are you attacking him!?".
"Well he attacked us first!" JP complained.
"What the heck are you talking about?!" Scutlemon yelled.
Treblemon then managed to regain a bit of strength and stand, "See, I knew this would get my brother here,"
This made Scutlemon flinch, "Huh, oh no, Treblemon what did you do?" he said, helping his brother up.
"I just, urm, fought the legendary warriors and lost?" he replied sheepishly, "Sorry, but after what happened to Reflectmon, I kinda said something about-?"
Scutlemon quickly grabbed his brother's mouth, before looking a bit sheepish, "Will you excuse us for a moment?" he then dragged the wolf aside, leaving the others confused.
"Uh, I don't suppose y'all have any idea what's going on with those two?" Ranamon asked.
"Beats me?" Takuya replied.
"Eh, I's got nothing, right?" Arbormon replied, "I's only seen dos guys once er twice, yah understand?".
"Don't you know anything Papamon?" Patamon asked, after landing on Bokomon's head.
"Doesn't the book say anything about these guys?" Tommy added.
"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find out anything about these Digimon?" Bokomon replied.
"Maybe they're new?" Neemon suggested.
"Don't you know anything Grumblemon?" JP asked, "You've seen them before haven't you?
"Grumblemon know Scutlemon, but not that much?" he replied.
Meanwhile with the two mysterious Digimon.
"Okay, what did you tell them?" Scutlemon asked.
"Well not much, they were getting kinda suspicious, after I pointed out things didn't go right with him?" he explained, motioning to Reflectmon, "So I kinda tried to uh, fight them before they caught on to too much?"
"What the, why would you-?" he then looked at the cracked Digimon, "Oh dear, that doesn't look right?".
"Exactly, arf," Treblemon said, before seeming sad, "Sorry I slipped up bro,".
"It's okay, it happens," Scutlemon assured, making his brother perk up, "Right now we need to figure out what to do about Reflectmon?".
"Hey, all this fighting gave me an idea, or a concussion?" Treblemon barked happily, "What if bring him to Cor-?"
"No!" Scutlemon said frantically, covering the wolf's mouth again, not noticing a curious Patamon flying nearby, "You know she doesn't like to leave home?".
Treblemon then freed himself from the grip, "Well then let's just bring them to her?".
"No way, you know we're not supposed to let them outside their world!" Scutlemon said trying to be quiet, "Besides we were not to interfere to this high of degree!".
However, at this point the heroes were beginning to get suspicious, and annoyed. So the warrior of wood decided to get answers. Arbormon then grabbed and lifted up the two young Digimon, Scutlemon by his head fin and Treblemon by his tail.
"Alright, what's you's two gots going ons, right?" Arbormon asked, startling the two abit, "Now's time to fess up, honestly is always the best policy, yah understand,".
"Oh no," Scutlemon said nervously, "Well, you see, urm, um?".
"I don't think we have a choice bro, arf," Treblemon suggested.
"Uhg, your right," Scutlemon sighed, "Okay we'll talk,".
"Good," Arbormon said, with satisfaction as he gently put them down.
"Thanks a bunch," Patamon added, before noticing something with his 'parents' and flying over to them.
Scutlemon then dusted himself a bit, as did his brother, while the others got closer.
"Okay, you see we know someone who might be able to fix up Reflectmon, ," he explained, seeming hesitant, "Our little sister, Corlamon".
Narrator Rika: Did he just say sister? And how can she fix poor Reflectmon? find out next time on the next Digimon Fronteir!
Purifaction Redemption!
And going have to cut it there. Yeah, I've been a bit finicky about the length lately, seriously if these chapters are too long let me know. If it's fine, cool.
Okay, I suppose I got some explaining to do. A lot has been happening lately.
For starters, my google account got hacked and I lost my youtube channel. I have since recovered and it won't effect any of my stories. Oih, where's Hudie when you need then?
Then there was Christmas, a trip to Colorado, getting my google account back, as well as trying to figure out life and learning how to make games. But don't worry, things are all good now :)
Any case, thank you all again so much for all your patience and support. It's because of readers like you guys that make me won't to finish this story, which I will!
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Thankfully I can slow down on the big battles next time.
So, shout outs to D.J. Scales, Charmander17, Time Knight Leo, Pokemonking0924, Neo-Warkid4, Lei Lei, idk, BETAsatchel, and a bunch of guest.
Oh boy that was a lot ,thanks again so much, especially BETAsatchel. I hope I'm still doing a good job. But if I do mess up, feel free to let me know and I will try my best to fix it.
Dang this is getting monotonous.
Sorry my Digimon can't help with the wrap out right now. As you can their a bit busy at the moment.
Heh, I do wonder how many of you have figured out what I based my trio of OC digimon off of? Also if you have any questions about them or for them, fell free to include them in a review.
Speaking of OC digimon, Reflectmon belongs to AK-Illustrate, who can be found at digimon-fr on tumblr and aki-ta on deviant art. They also own the child forms of the other legendary warriors that aren't fire or light.
As I always say, reviews lead to sooner chapters and better stories!
Can't for the next chapter, it's going to be good, hehehehe.
Choa!
