Extra Chapter: What If? World Tour
Timeline: During Chapter 34. An alternate way things could have gone down.
What if the World tour did happen?
Gennai disappeared into the tablet Koushiro was holding.
Koushiro checked up on his tablet as Taichi clapped his hands together to draw everyone's attention.
"Well, he said we should stay on standby. But I feel like we should help the other Digidestined around the world. The threats here in Japan went up to Ultimate level. We don't know what the other Digidestined are capable of, and I don't want to take any risks."
"I agree. Especially if Mimi isn't going to be on standby with us. It means there's a possibility of there being threats that would need our help." Koushiro said as he finished checking his tablet.
"In that case, maybe we can get Imperialdramon to transport us around." Daisuke had a grin on his face and gave a thumbs up.
"That works, but before that we need to know how many threats we are dealing with and how to split ourselves up." Taichi said as he started to think.
Koushiro's tablet received a notification. Koushiro read the notification and had a small grin.
"So, I really can't stop you Digidestined, huh? Oh well, might as well help then. The locations where there are threats are America, Hong Kong, Australia, Paris, Mexico and Russia. There shouldn't be much problem for the twelve of you but don't push yourself. You still have a more important battle soon."
"So, he still checks up on our communication… wait what was he listening from? My tablet..?"
Yamato crossed his arms and had a serious look.
"Let's handle our groupings and go."
"Yeah sure. Daisuke and Ken should go with each other, same as Miyako and Iori. They have jogress so there shouldn't be a problem if you you're go together." Taichi said with a grin.
The new Digidestined all nodded while Taichi looked to the rest and started to think.
"I'll go to Paris since I know my way around the place. Plus, my grandpa can help us out with transport."
"Alright that's good, Takeru. I'll go with you."
Yamato looked at Taichi with a slightly confused look. Taichi saw it and grinned.
"Well since the threats we're going to face probably aren't close to the level we've faced before, we can use this time to work on our teamwork. It would make our next battles a lot easier if we knew how to work with each other better."
Yamato thought for a while and nodded.
"Alright then. Works with me, I'll go with Hikari." Yamato had a cheeky grin.
Taichi returned the grin as all of the Digidestined began to get onto Imperialdramon. Sora was going to meet up with Mimi, while Koushiro and Joe were together.
Imperialdramon shot off travelling around the world dropping the Digidestined off at their respective areas.
"So, they are going around the world to help?"
"Yes, it seems so."
"Alright then. Mummymon, find the weakest. Archnemon, go to that location."
"Understood."
(Quick recap, all enemies are dark tower Digimon, and not random lost Digimon)
America
Imperialdramon landed in America and Sora got off, thanking him. However, before Imperialdramon could leave, he was suddenly attacked. The Digidestined looked in the distance where the attack came from, and they saw a small figure. Imperialdramon prepared an attack, but Sora quickly told him to stop.
Piyomon quickly evolved and Sora quickly got on her leg. Birdramon quickly flew over to the small figure and the figure had a shocked expression.
"Sora? Birdramon? What are you two doing here in America? Wait, tell Mimi and me later. There's a lot of invading Digimon and we need to handle them."
"Lilimon, wait. This isn't an enemy."
Lilimon lowered her arms in confusion.
"Birdramon is right. That's Imperialdramon. He's Daisuke and Ken's partner."
Lilimon looked shocked but quickly flew down to the ground where Mimi was at. Birdramon followed suit as Imperialdramon began to leave.
Mimi had a large smile on her face as she ran forward and hugged Sora, almost causing them to fall.
"It's good to see you again, Sora!"
"It hasn't been that long since Yamato's gig." Sora chuckled at Mimi's energy.
"Doesn't matter. Anyways, what are you doing here?"
"We are going around the world to help the Digidestined with the threats."
"Oh, but you didn't need to come here. I haven't seen a Mega Digimon, so Lilimon has been doing a great job at handling them."
"Well, extra help is always good." Birdramon said with a grin.
"Well that is true. Sigh, there's been so many Digimon to take care of, and Lilimon is the only one with the strength to handle them by herself." Mimi put her hand to her head and looked tired.
Just then, a wounded Seadramon came down from the sky with a blonde human on its back.
Birdramon stepped forward and protectively held her wing in front of Sora, while Lilimon and Mimi had serious looks.
"Any updates, Micheal?"
"It's bad. The Digimon are gathering at Central Park, and we can't stop them. I'm not sure how long the rest will hold out for…"
Mimi turned to Sora with a determined look. Sora nodded back and they quickly took to the skies, with Lilimon rushing ahead. Mimi and Sora held onto Birdramon's leg as she flew according to Mimi's directions. Seadramon did its best to keep up after them.
Soon enough, they all arrived at Central Park, seeing Lilimon doing her best to handle multiple opponents, however she was starting to get caught in Jyureimon's vines. There were other Digidestined around, but their Digimon were caught in vines produced from Jyureimon.
"Meteor Wing!"
The attack flew across the battlefield, burning through the vines. Lilimon quickly flew up to Birdramon.
"They aren't real Digimon, so don't worry about killing."
Sora nodded and clenched her Digivice.
"Don't worry, we know."
"Birdramon Super-Evolution! Garudamon!"
Garudamon quickly placed Sora and Mimi onto Seadramon.
"Stay out of the fight. Lilimon and I will handle this one."
Sora and Mimi nodded.
"Be careful, ok!"
"Don't worry about us, Sora."
Garudamon and Lilimon rushed down together. The opposing Digimon threw attacks at them. Sound attacks from a TonosamaGekomon, Dark attacks from multiple Devidramon, electric attacks from Parrotmon and Okuwamon.
Lilimon weaved through the attacks and formed her cannon, firing at the opponents. Garudamon became enveloped in flames and charged through the attacks.
"Flower Cannon!"
"Shadow Wing!"
The rest of the Digidestined started to retreat as their Digimon had become wounded. Sora and Mimi looked to each other.
"With so many ultimates here…"
"Looks like we need to go all out. Shall we, Mimi?"
"Sure, let's do it."
Mimi and Sora pointed their Digivices towards their Digimon as Seadramon began to go down to the ground where the rest of the Digidestined were gathering with their Digimon.
Lilimon and Garudamon turned to their partners as they felt their energy surge.
"Lilimon Mega-Evolution! Rosemon!"
"Garudamon Mega-Evolution! Hououmon!"
The duo towered over their opponents. The rest of the Digidestined all looked on in absolute shock. Hououmon began to fly upwards and brought her wings together. Rosemon brought her whips down and grabbed all of their opponents.
The opposing Digimon tried to struggle out of the constraints, but they couldn't.
"Accept your fate, dark tower Digimon."
Rosemon brought her whips up and threw the Digimon into the air. Hououmon burst open her wings.
"Starlight Explosion!"
Lights began to fall down, instantly burning through the dark tower Digimon, leaving nothing behind. Hououmon returned to the ground and reverted to Piyomon, as Rosemon jumped over to the Digidestined and reverted to Palmon.
Palmon landed softly in Mimi's arms while Piyomon flew over to Sora. They hugged their Digimon, while the other Digidestined continued to look on in shock.
Micheal began to speak.
"Wow… Mimi, I… didn't realise your Digimon was so strong…"
"Hmm? Oh, don't worry about it. With enough time, your Digimon will also evolve further and become stronger."
Mimi turned to Sora.
"Is there anywhere else we need to help?"
"No, the rest should be able to handle it."
"So, what you are saying is… I am free to show you around."
Sora let out a laugh and shook her head in amusement.
"Alright, Mimi."
"Perfect! Then I'll see all of you soon!" Mimi said as she turned to the other Digidestined with a flourish.
Hong Kong
Hikari and Yamato were on their Digimon and were looking around to find the dark tower Digimon. Hikari and Angewomon were in the skies, while Yamato and Garurumon ran in the ground.
Hikari spotted some Digimon and pointed it to Angewomon. She quickly tapped on her earpiece.
"Yamato, turn right at the next corner. There's some Digimon there."
"Got it, Hikari."
Angewomon drew her bow and aimed it at the dark tower Digimon. The arrows surrounded it.
Yamato and Garurumon rounded the corner, seeing a Mojyamon trapped by arrows. They also saw three octomon spraying ink at it, with three humans behind.
"Tch, Angewomon set it up perfectly and they haven't defeated it yet?"
Garurumon chuckled.
"Come now, Yamato. Don't be so harsh on them."
Yamato had a small smile.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's just finish this."
Garurumon ran towards the trapped Mojyamon and jumped. Having the aerial advantage, Garurumon fired his attack.
"Fox Fire!"
The dark tower Digimon instantly disintegrated, alongside Angewomon's arrows. Garurumon landed on the area where the dark tower Digimon had been. Garurumon was surrounded by his flames and stared at the three Digidestined in front of him.
The three Octomon readied themselves, but quickly backed off as Angewomon came down.
"You shouldn't be doing this kind of 'cool entrance' Yamato. People are going to get the wrong idea."
Yamato got off Garurumon as Garurumon began to step around to put out the flames.
Yamato had a small grin as he put his hands in his pocket.
"Would you believe me if I said it wasn't on purpose?"
Hikari sighed as Angewomon put her down. Garurumon finished putting out the flames and the four turned to the humans, who looked like they were in awe.
Yamato walked forward and crossed his arms.
"We're here to help. Do you know any other location with these dark tower Digimon?"
The trio looked confused and started speaking. Yamato couldn't understand what they were saying as it wasn't in Japanese. Hikari walked forward.
"Umm, I can try talking to them. They're speaking in Mandarin. Mom tried to make Onii-Chan and I learn it when we were younger."
Hikari pouted a little.
"Even if I was the only one that learned anything from the lessons."
"Alright then, Hikari. Go for it."
Hikari looked nervous.
"W-Well… I'm not that good at it, but I'll try my best."
"H-Hello. Have you err… seen Digimon around?" (Mandarin)
"Hello. The only Digimon we've seen are ours'." (Mandarin)
The trio quickly gathered around and seemed to be discussing something. Shortly after, the one that seemed the oldest walked over.
"Do you need our help? We would be willing for such a cute girl like you." (Mandarin)
"No no. We're here to help you." (Mandarin) Hikari understood that they wanted to help, but her face showed some confusion near the end. She couldn't understand the last part.
Yamato snarled and got in front of Hikari.
"Yamato? What's wrong?" (Japanese)
"I don't understand the language, but I can understand body language. You know how to say you have a boyfriend?"
Hikari's eyes widened in realisation but she looked troubled.
"Sorry, I don't know how to say that. But… you can protect me." (Japanese)
Hikari flashed a grin to Yamato and hid behind him a little, as if Yamato was a big brother protecting his little sister.
Yamato'e eye twitched a bit before he sighed.
"Seriously, Hikari…"
Hikari giggled from behind Yamato and poked her head out a little.
"Thank you for helping with the Digimon. If you see anymore, please tell us." (Mandarin)
Yamato crossed his arms and glared at the trio.
The trio looked a little disheartened and sighed.
Hikari and Yamato's Digivices began to beep, and they quickly brought them up.
"Koushiro? What happened?"
"You two are the closest to the Chinese border, I'm seeing some rumours online, I think there is a fight going on there. Please get there quickly. If things don't resolve soon… well, I would rather avoid the possible outcomes."
"Got it, Koushiro. Angewomon, let's go."
"Garurumon, let's evolve. We need to go fast."
"Got it, Yamato."
"Garurumon Super-Evolution! WereGarurumon!"
"Haa!"
WereGarurumon grew in size and plates formed on his back as Yamato jumped onto one of WereGarurumon's arms.
Hikari got on Angewomon and turned to the trio.
"Thanks for the help. We will be going to the Chinese border to help others." (Mandarin)
The trio looked exasperated and started to argue with one another. Hikari couldn't understand most of it, but she could understand that they were blaming one another for something.
WereGarurumon and Angewomon flew off, following the direction that Koushiro had sent them. WereGarurumon and Angewomon were close enough for Yamato and Hikari to talk. Yamato sighed.
"You've got to be more careful, Hikari."
"Mmm…"
"From a neutral standpoint… ok, before I talk about that, Hikari, I would never fall for you. You're like a little sister to me, but if I'm being completely honest, you're a cute girl. So, please be more careful around others."
Hikari shrugged.
"I have Takeru and Tailmon to protect me. Besides, I love Takeru. Nothing is going to change that."
"I admire your confidence, but still just be more careful. Seriously, how does Taichi deal with you…"
The last part came off as a whisper, but Hikari faintly caught it.
"You can try it yourself and find out, Yamato-Onii-Chan~" Hikari had a cheeky grin.
Yamato flinched back a little and scowled.
"You're not playing fair, Hikari."
Hikari giggled.
"Sorry, you're just so tense all the time, just had to tease you."
Angewomon and WereGarurumon turned to each other and had grins before they both looked down and saw a battle taking place. There didn't seem to be many Digidestined fighting, leaving them at a heavy disadvantage.
Angewomon and WereGarurumon flew down quickly.
Angewomon brought her arms forth.
"Heaven's Charm!"
WereGarurumon reached back and grabbed the plates on his back, using them as blades. Angewomon's attack went forth, instantly disintegrating many of the dark tower Digimon.
WereGarurumon charged forward, slashing through as many dark tower Digimon as he could.
In a short time, Angewomon and WereGarurumon had dispatched all the dark tower Digimon. There weren't many at the Ultimate level, so it was easy for them. They saw some figures approaching far away on some hills.
Hikari turned to the other Digidestined.
"Get out of here, now!" (Mandarin)
Yamato began to aggressively signal to them to move. The other Digidestined quickly gave a small bow and began to run away with their Digimon.
Yamato turned to Hikari.
"Now, it's our turn to leave."
"Right."
Hikari and Yamato quickly got on Angewomon and WereGarurumon and flew as high as they could, hoping they had at least prevented the worst-case scenario.
Australia
Joe and Koushiro were both at a beach, looking out for any Digimon.
"Hmm… the energy signature was near here… but I can't get an exact read on where it is…" Koushiro looked up from his tablet and looked around.
"Don't worry about it, Koushiro. Your readings haven't led us astray before. Although, I'm more concerned about the people here."
"We landed away from here but surely Imperialdramon could be seen from here." Tentomon fluttered over to Koushiro and landed on the ground.
"Maybe everyone is just relaxed here." Gomamon went over to the water and began to test its temperature, before diving in.
Joe sighed and walked over to Gomamon.
"Come on, we aren't here to play. We need to find-"
Just then, a large mass of water erupted far into the ocean. There was also a cry for help. Joe and Koushiro looked to their partners and nodded.
"Tentomon Evolution! Kabuterimon!"
"Gomamon Evolution! Ikkakumon!"
Kabuterimon rushed over to the cry for help and saw a human on a sail with a Ganimon. He quickly flew down to him and grabbed both of them.
"Are you ok?"
Just then, Kabuterimon noticed a shadow looming over him. He quickly turned around and backhanded his opponent, which turned out to be a Shellmon.
"Don't you even think about it!"
The Shellmon fell back while a German and an Ebidramon charged at Kabuterimon.
"Kabuterimon! Get back here! Harpoon Vulcan!"
Kabuterimon began to fly back and weaved through Ikkakumon's attack. The Ebidramon and Gesomon tried to follow Kabuterimon, but they were unable to dodge the attacks and got hit.
Koushiro looked at the water and had a serious face.
"Joe, we need to get them out of the water. Kabuterimon can't use his electric attacks."
Joe nodded and turned to Ikkakumon.
"You heard that, Ikkakumon?"
"Of course, leave it to me!"
Kabuterimon and Ikkakumon rushed forward and slammed into their opponents. Ikkakumon flicked his horn upwards and sent Gesomon up into the air. Kabuterimon used two of his hands each to grab Shellmon and Ebidramon and threw them up.
Ikkakumon aimed upwards, while Kabuterimon clapped his hands together.
"Harpoon Vulcan!"
The missiles went off and hit their opponents. Kabuterimon seemed to be grinning as he aimed upwards.
"Let's see how you handle this! Mega Blaster!"
A surge of electricity shot forth from Kabuterimon, forming an impressive beam that instantly disintegrated their opponents. Kabuterimon struck a pose.
"How do you like that?"
Kabuterimon and Ikkakumon quickly went back to their partners as Koushiro's tablet began to beep.
"Energy signature at the Great Barrier Reef… we better get over there quickly. We don't want the reef getting destroyed by the dark tower Digimon."
"Right."
"Hello, may I join you?"
Koushiro flinched backwards as the Digidestined they had saved came forward to him. Koushiro quickly typed something into his tablet and faced it to the Digidestined.
The other Digidestined quickly understood and began to type on Koushiro's tablet. He gave Koushiro back his tablet and Koushiro read through the message.
"Hello, I'm Dingo. I heard you say the Great Barrier Reef. May I help you?"
Koushiro nodded and turned to Joe with a small smile.
"Thank goodness for translation technology."
Joe had a small laugh as Ikkakumon reverted. Koushiro climbed onto Kabuterimon's open arm, as Joe and Gomamon did the same. Koushiro signalled to Dingo, and he climbed on as well with Ganimon.
Kabuterimon flew off heading towards the Great Barrier Reef with directions from Koushiro. As they arrived, they saw a Digimon on the shore.
The Digimon was slowly approaching the water and seemed to have a target.
Kabuterimon landed behind it. Gomamon got off and evolved quickly to Ikkakumon. All the Digidestined got out of Kabuterimon's hand.
"An Anomalocarimon… I remember Taichi talking about this one. We better evolve further, Kabuterimon. I don't want to take any risks." Koushiro looked tense.
"Of course, Koushiro."
"Got it. Let's do it, Ikkakumon!"
"Let's do this, Joe!"
"Kabuterimon Super-Evolution! AtlurKabuterimon!"
"Ikkakumon Super-Evolution! Zudomon!"
Ganimon quickly jumped forward as well.
"Ganimon Evolution! Coelamon!"
Zudomon rushed after the Anomalocarimon and pushed it into the water.
"Be careful, Zudomon! Make sure the reef isn't destroyed!"
Anomalocarimon rushed towards Zudomon and slammed into him, causing Zudomon to fall back and hit into the reef.
Koushiro grit his teeth.
"Joe, get him out of the water."
Koushiro turned to AtlurKabuterimon.
"Charge up an attack, Zudomon will send him up to you!"
AtlurKabuterimon nodded and his horn began to glow with energy.
Dingo ran and came to a stop just before the water.
"Coelamon, distract him!"
Coelamon swam past Anomalocarimon, grabbing its attention. Anomalocarimon rushed after Coelamon. Coelamon passed by Zudomon. They both nodded to each other. Coelamon rushed forward and Anomalocarimon followed.
Coelamon led Anomalocarimon away from the reefs. As they reached far enough, Coelamon turned around and quickly slammed into Anomalocarimon.
Anomalocarimon flinched back, leaving an opening. Zudomon came from above with his hammer and slammed it on Anomalocarimon. Zudomon quickly grabbed its tail and swam upwards.
As he surfaced, he threw Anomalocarimon up.
"AtlurKabuterimon, now!"
"Horn buster!"
"Hammer Spark!"
The attacks went off, instantly disintegrating Anomalocarimon. The Digimon quickly went back to their partners and reverted. Koushiro turned to Joe and had a small smile.
"Well, Taichi set this up so we could work on synergy, but looks like the two of us can't really do that, huh?"
"Yeah, Gomamon fights best in the ocean while Tentomon uses electricity. Can't really combine our efforts together very well."
"Oh well, we just have to do our best, right?"
Joe and Koushiro smiled at each other and got ready to leave and find a nice spot for their Digimon to relax as they waited for Imperialdramon to come back.
Paris
Takeru and Taichi were waiting for Takeru's Grandfather to meet up with them. Taichi shivered in his jacket, while Takeru chuckled.
"It's a lot colder here in Japan, isn't it, Taichi?"
"Yeah, no kidding… it's freezing. Anyways, where's your grandpa?"
"He told me to wait here."
"You sure he's gonna come?"
"Don't worry, I emphasised that it's an emergency."
"Hey, what's that?" Agumon pointed off into the distance where a small light could be seen.
"It looks like a vehicle." Patamon was squinting his eyes to try and see the rapidly approaching object.
The vehicle stopped in front of the Digidestined.
"Takeru, good to see you again."
"Grandpa!"
"Merry Christmas." (French)
"Merry Christmas, Grandpa." (French)
"Huh?" Taichi looked confused.
Patamon flew up and landed on Takeru's hat. He turned himself such that he was facing Taichi.
"They are saying… umm… Merry Christmas! In French… I think…"
"Yeah, you're right, Patamon." Takeru reached up and gave Patamon a pat.
"Anyways, we need to find those Digimon now." Taichi had a serious look on his face.
Takeru's grandfather gave a thumbs up as Taichi, Agumon and Patamon sat in a side car that was attached to the motorcycle. Takeru got behind his grandfather and they sped off, searching for the dark tower Digimon.
As they were going around, Patamon had a confused look and seemed to look like he was trying to hear something.
Agumon looked at Patamon confused.
"What happened, Patamon?"
"Takeru's Grandpa, can you stop for a moment? I think I hear something weird, but I can't hear very well."
Takeru's grandfather gave a nod and stopped the motorcycle at a safe spot. Patamon flew up and landed on Takeru's head before listening intently.
Patamon's eyes opened, and he pointed his wing towards a large building.
"Over there. I hear something like explosions…"
"Explosions? Fireworks? Wait… that… that's the palace of Versailles! Who would dare?!" Takeru's grandfather seemed quite agitated and started to run towards the palace.
"Grandpa! You can't go there! That's trespassing!"
"Don't worry, the palace has been my playground since I was a child, it'll be fine!" Takeru's grandfather had a grin and gave a thumbs-up as he ran.
Patamon continued listen as Taichi, Takeru and Agumon ran after Takeru's grandfather.
"Its not fireworks… it sounds familiar…"
Taichi had a confused look on his face.
"In the Digital World? Or a sound from here?"
"The Digital World… I think it was… when we were falling with Eldaradimon!"
Taichi turned to Takeru.
"Then we will be dealing with Digimon like Mamemon, you ready?"
Takeru nodded.
The group reached the gates and saw a small figure ahead seeming in a fight with some familiar and some not so familiar enemies.
Takeru and Taichi brought their Digivices forward and nodded to their partners.
"Three in total, let's take them out."
"Don't get ahead of yourself, Takeru, there might be more in other places."
"Got it, let's do this, Patamon!"
"You too, Agumon!"
"Agumon Evolution! Greymon!"
"Patamon Evolution! Pegasmon!"
"Rodeo Gallop!"
Pegasmon rushed in and slammed into a BigMamemon just before it slammed its fist down. The Kiwimon that was about to get crushed had jumped out of the way and looked surprised to see a new fighter.
"Nice one, Pegasmon!"
"Help him out, Greymon!"
"Takeru?"
Takeru and Taichi turned to the new voice and saw a girl with a Kiwimon beside her. Takeru looked at her for a moment and his eyes widened.
"Catherine?! Why are you here?" (French)
"I could ask the same of you. I didn't know you had a Digimon partner." (French)
"Takeru, you know this girl?"
"Ah, yeah, she was my classmate when I was studying here."
"I see, uhh hello, I'm Takeru's friend, Taichi." Taichi extended his hand out in a greeting.
"Hello, I'm Catherine, good… meeting you." (Japanese)
"Catherine, you learnt to speak Japanese? I've only been away for a year…"
"Ah yes… I'm not… good though."
"It's fine. You've learnt quite fast, but we'll handle that later. We need to handle these dark tower Digimon first."
"Right, three ultimates, Greymon lets evolve further!"
"You too, Pegasmon! Let's change over!"
Pegasmon reverted to Patamon as Greymon covered him.
"Patamon Evolution! Angemon!"
"Angemon Super-Evolution! HolyAngemon!"
HolyAngemon charged in and took the attention of their opponents, giving Greymon some time.
"Greymon Super-Evolution! MetalGreymon!"
Taichi brought out his Digivice.
"Mamemon and BigMamemon… and the last one is MetalMamemon. All ultimates."
"Let's take out the Mamemon first. It will be dangerous if he explodes."
Taichi had a smirk.
"Just what I was thinking, Takeru. Buy MetalGreymon some time."
MetalGreymon formed the alterous on his non-metallic hand and aimed it at Mamemon. HolyAngemon spun and slashed at the opponents, keeping them at bay. MetalGreymon's blast finished charging quickly and he aimed it at the Mamemon.
HolyAngemon glanced back.
"Wait! Aim it at the MetalMamemon!"
MetalGreymon nodded and changed his target, understanding what HolyAngemon had in mind.
HolyAngemon swung his sword at BigMamemon and pushed it away. He quickly grabbed Mamemon and threw it in front of MetalMamemon.
Metalgreymon shot the blast just as HolyAngemon threw Mamemon. The blast burst through Mamemon and hit MetalMamemon. MetalMamemon had shielded itself from the blast, but Mamemon also exploded.
A cloud of smoke formed in front of MetalMamemon.
MetalGreymon and HolyAngemon turned their attention to the BigMamemon. MetalGreymon readied his claw, while HolyAngemon extended his beam sword.
They both dashed forward and were about to attack BigMamemon when suddenly a damaged MetalMamemon charged out of the smoke. HolyAngemon quickly parried MetalMamemon's claw and threw MetalMamemon back. HolyAngemon and MetalGreymon nodded to each other and took on their opponents.
HolyAngemon swung his sword at MetalMamemon. MetalMamemon continuously dodged the attacks and tried to strike back, but HolyAngemon managed to dodge as well. HolyAngemon started to dash backwards, causing MetalMamemon to chase him.
HolyAngemon stopped backing away and stood his ground. MetalMamemon rushed forward and brought his claw forward.
"MetalGreymon! Now!"
HolyAngemon dodged to the side as MetalGreymon deformed his alterous. He grabbed BigMamemon and turned around, slamming BigMamemon into MetalMamemon's claw. MetalGreymon and HolyAngemon quickly followed-up and slashed BigMamemon.
In an instant, BigMamemon popped like it was a big balloon under too much pressure. MetalGreymon quickly kicked MetalMamemon away.
"Nice one MetalGreymon!"
"Alright, just one left, don't let up, HolyAngemon!"
Catherine and Kiwimon stood at the side amazed.
"No way… Takeru and his friend… they're so strong…" (French)
"Yeah…" (French)
"I didn't even know Takeru had a Digimon like me… and he's so strong as well…" (French)
Kiwimon looked back to the battlefield and noticed a small glimmer.
"Catherine, look out!" (French)
Catherine looked to the glimmer and quickly shouted.
"Everyone! Move!" (Japanese)
MetalGreymon heard the shout and looked up. His eyes widened and he quickly ran to the Digidestined and shielded them. HolyAngemon flew up and swung his sword in an attempt to deflect the projectiles.
As HolyAngemon slashed at one, it started to glow and it exploded, engulfing HolyAngemon in smoke.
"HolyAngemon!"
Takeru began to run, but Taichi quickly grabbed his hand.
"Stop, don't be reckless, Takeru."
The smoke around HolyAngemon began to clear as a small Digimon appeared on the battlefield.
HolyAngemon looked slightly damaged, but his shield had protected him.
Takeru brought up his Digivice.
"Giromon, Ultimate."
"Those bombs are destructive, we can't let them hit anything. Any ideas, Takeru?"
"Just one… but MetalGreymon would have to stay here and protect us if we try it."
"I don't mind. As long as there isn't too much damage around here."
Taichi nodded to Takeru.
"If MetalGreymon is fine with it, then I don't see why not. Go for it, Takeru."
Takeru nodded and turned to HolyAngemon.
"Let's do this, HolyAngemon!"
HolyAngemon swung his sword around, forming the Heaven's Gate. The gate opened and MetalGreymon quickly braced himself and formed the alterous. He made sure it was in front of the Digidestined to keep them from being sucked into the gate.
MetalMamemon and Giromon tried to resist but they were slowly being pulled into the gate. HolyAngemon moved the gate behind them so it would be easier for him to push them in.
Giromon desperately tried to throw bombs, but they kept on getting sucked into the gate.
MetalGreymon dug his claw into the dirt and his chest panels opened.
"Giga Storm!"
The attack burst forth and hit Giromon, sending it into the gate.
HolyAngemon rushed forward and slashed at the ground beneath MetalMamemon. MetalMamemon kept on trying to sidestep the attacks but before long, the gate's pull became too strong, slowly causing MetalMamemon to go airborne.
HolyAngemon spun and kicked MetalMamemon, sending it into the gate. HolyAngemon quickly closed the gate and flew back down to the Digidestined. The Digimon reverted, with Patamon flying to Takeru's head, and Agumon receiving a thumbs-up from Taichi.
"Good job Patamon." Takeru gave Patamon a pat, Patamon grinned in content.
"Nice going, Agumon." Agumon had a grin and gave a fist bump to Taichi.
"Wow, Takeru… I didn't know you… had a Digimon… and to think he's strong as well…" (Japanese) Catherine looked shocked as Kiwimon reverted to Floramon and joined Catherine by her side.
"Thanks, Patamon is an amazing partner."
"Don't say that Takeru… my power is from you as well!"
Takeru smiled and pet Patamon.
Taichi gave Takeru a pat on the back.
"Good work there."
Takeru gave a small smile.
"Thanks, Taichi."
"Don't worry about it. Anyways, it's quite nice here, you mind giving me a tour?"
Takeru had a wide grin and looked excited.
"Let's do it. There's so much to see around here."
Taichi turned to Catherine.
"Catherine, right? You wanna join us?"
Catherine looked a little shocked.
"Oh… I wouldn't want to… intrude."
Takeru turned as well and gave a smile.
"It's fine, we can use the time to catch up a little as well."
Catherine had a small smile and turned to her partner. Floramon gave a shrug. Catherine smiled and turned back to Takeru and Taichi.
"In that case, I'll join you two."
Takeru's grandfather chuckled.
"Alright, I'll leave you youngsters to it. If you need anything just call me, alright, Takeru?"
"Alright. Thank you so much grandpa."
"No worries. Give my regards to Natsuki for me. And if possible, your father as well."
"Of course, Grandpa. I'm sure mom will be happy to know how you're doing."
Takeru's grandfather gave a thumbs-up before driving off, leaving the Digidestined some time to themselves.
Mexico
Imperialdramon landed in a forest near to a temple. He reverted to Veemon and Wormmon. Ken and Daisuke quickly went towards the temple with their partners.
There, they saw multiple guards around the temple.
"Looks like this is where we need to go to, Ken."
"Seems like it. They look like they're waiting for something to come out. You think it's the Digimon, Daisuke?"
"It probably is. In that case, we'll need to get inside and handle the Digimon."
"Easier said than done. This is an important monument. We can't just fight if there is Digimon inside."
"How do you know that, Ken?" Wormmon looked curiously at Ken.
"Ah… it's something I looked up online. Back when I was still… well I was planning some… bad things in the past as the Kaiser. Let's just leave it at that."
"Ken…" Daisuke looked at Ken concerned, but didn't say anything else.
"Anyways, let's just get inside. I'll try to talk to the guard."
Ken walked over alone. Daisuke and the Digimon waited in the bushes as they saw Ken talking to the guard. Ken looked to be conversing fine, until a gun was pointed at him. He looked panicked and quickly raised his hands.
The guard had a sick grin as Ken slowly backed away. As Ken came back to the bush, he had a hand on his chest and was breathing heavily.
"Ken, you ok?"
"H-He pulled a g-gun on me…"
"Ken…" Wormmon climbed onto Ken's shoulder and started to pat his back."
"I guess that means we won't be getting through here."
Ken caught his breath and faced Daisuke with determination.
"Let's try the rear entrance, maybe we can find an opening in their security there."
The Digidestined went around the building and found that the rear entrance was heavily guarded as well. Daisuke turned to Ken.
"Well, now what?"
"We need to find a way to get inside there… but they won't just let us in."
"So should one of us go as a distraction?" Veemon gave a confident look as if saying he could pull it off.
Ken shook his head.
"We can't do that. In case we are fighting an ultimate, we will need Paildramon. And if we are facing a mega… well, most of the megas we have seen have been really big, so I doubt it, but we can't ignore the possibility of a small mega in there."
"Then how are we supposed to get in? We need a distraction but none of us can be that distraction… if only we had someone else here…" Daisuke looked slightly dismayed but it was clear that he was still trying to think of a solution.
Just then, the bushes behind them rustled a little. Veemon and Wormmon got in front of their partners protectively. A Gotsumon came out of the bushes followed by a girl.
"Hello, my name is Chichos. I snuck out of home to help." (Spanish)
"Hello. Thanks for offering to help." (Spanish)
"Eh, Ken, you can speak Spanish?"
"Only a little, I'm not fluent enough for it to be considered impressive, Daisuke."
"Well, it's still impressive."
"Is there anything I can do to help?" (Spanish)
"My friend and I need to work together for our Digimon to be at full strength, so, if possible, could you distract the guards with your partner?" (Spanish)
Wormmon looked at Ken in amazement, causing Chichos to look at him with a disgusted look.
"Worm."
She quickly turned back to Ken and had a big smile on her face.
"Anything for you."
Ken looked taken aback for a moment and gave an awkward smile. Daisuke jokingly elbowed Ken lightly.
"Looks like you're popular with the girls, huh?"
Ken had a small blush and elbowed Daisuke back.
"Focus on our mission."
Chichos turned to her Gotsumon and nodded. Gotsumon evolved into Monochromon and ran forward. It roared at the guards and ran off into the trees. The guards started to panic and shouted into their walkie-talkies.
The guards quickly ran after Monochromon, leaving the rear entrance open. Ken and Daisuke nodded to each other and ran into the temple.
The group got inside the temple and began to walk.
"It's quite hard to see in here…" Ken was trying his best to feel the walls so they could have a rough idea of where they were going.
"We need some light… wait that's it! Veemon, Digimental Up!"
Veemon nodded.
"Veemon, Armor-Evolution! Fladramon! Burning Courage!"
Fladramon lit his fist up and produced a light source for the group to see with.
"Thanks, that will be perfect." Ken looked relieved and they continued to walk deeper into the temple.
Soon, they came across a room and saw a Minotaurmon and a Dokugamon inside. Fladramon quickly reverted so his flame wouldn't reveal them. They hid behind the walls and peeked into the room.
"Why aren't they doing anything? They should be dark tower Digimon…" Ken looked like he was thinking hard.
"Could they be real Digimon?" Daisuke suggested.
"Wouldn't real Digimon try to destroy instead? Most of the stories we've been told started with the Digimon attacking first." Veemon had a puzzled look.
Daisuke turned to Veemon for a second.
"That's true… in any case… should we try to bring these guys out or should we fight here?"
"We can't fight here. We need to bring them outside before we fight." Ken turned to Wormmon and nodded.
Wormmon nodded back as Ken turned to face Daisuke.
"Run out first. I'll bring them out and we will handle them quickly."
Daisuke nodded before running out the way they came.
"Let's do this, Wormmon."
"Right."
"Wormmon Evolution! Stingmon!"
Stingmon dashed forward and quickly punched the two opponents. It didn't have much force and was more to grab their attention.
Stingmon turned around and grabbed Ken. Stingmon began to fly the same way they had come from, with the two Digimon trailing behind. Ken and Stingmon reached the exit at the same time as Daisuke and Veemon. The group waited outside for their opponents to appear.
"Veemon Evolution! ExVeemon!"
The Dokugamon and Minotaurmon reached the exit and started to charge towards them. ExVeemon clashed with Minotaurmon as Stingmon started to attack Dokugamon.
However, the battle was quickly stopped as they heard gunfire. Ken and Daisuke ducked into the bushes and saw some of the guards shooting at the Digimon.
"Ken, we need to end this quickly. We can't let those guards get hurt."
"Right. Let's do it."
"ExVeemon! Stingmon! Jogress Evolution! Paildramon!"
Paildramon jumped up into the sky and aimed his blasters down.
"Desperado Blaster!"
Paildramon's blasters hit the ground, causing a large cloud of smoke to form. The guards quickly backed off and aimed at Paildramon. Paildramon dashed into the smoke.
The guards were confused and began to aim at the smoke. Faint silhouettes could be seen inside. Paildramon's claws shot out and wrapped around his opponents.
"Esgrima!"
A stinger shot forth from both of Paildramon's arms and stabbed into his opponents. Sounds of pain came from the smoke and the some of the guards began to take steps back.
"Paildramon Mega-Evolution! Imperialdramon!"
The guards began to take several steps back in fear as they saw the glow of a red eye from the smoke. The smoke began to clear and Imperialdramon roared loudly. Some of the guards started to run while others tried to shoot at Imperialdramon.
Imperialdramon remained unfazed. He turned to his partners and a beam of light engulfed them. Imperialdramon took to the skies.
"Where to, Daisuke, Ken?"
"We'll go back and pick up everyone in the same order." Ken brought out his laptop and started to type on it.
"Alright."
Imperialdramon flew off, leaving the guards shocked and confused.
One small figure in the bushes watched on with a thankful smile. The figure was soon joined by a Gotsumon.
"Good job, Gotsumon." (Spanish)
She turned to the sky where Imperialdramon was before he flew off.
"Thank you." (Spanish)
Russia
Jazarichmon flew across the sky, slashing at swarms of Flymon.
Iori and Miyako were on Jazarichmon with their hands in front of their eyes to protect from the cold winds.
"There's so many…"
"Yeah… but we'll be fine, Iori. Jazarichmon can handle these."
Jazarichmon flew back and aimed his tail at the swarm.
"N.S.B.M!"
The beam cut through the swarm, instantly disintegrating the dark tower Digimon. Jazarichmon flew forward and began to spin.
"Messer Spiral!"
Jazarichmon cut through most of the swarm, leaving only a few Flymon left. Suddenly, Miyako and Iori's Digivices started to beep.
They looked at their Digivice and saw a message.
"Iori, Miyako, there's some energy signatures in Siberia. Please handle them."
A small map appeared on Iori and Miyako's Digivices, showing them the way to their destination.
Iori and Miyako nodded to each other and Jazarichmon flew off in the direction, leaving the other Russian Digidestined to handle the few remaining Flymon.
Jazarichmon was flying at high speeds, but not fast enough to hurt his partners riding on him. Iori and Miyako gripped their outerwear tightly. Jazarichmon glanced back with worry.
"Are you two ok?"
"D-Don't worry, Jazarichmon…"
"Y-Yeah, Miyako's r-right. I-It's just a bit c-cold."
Jazarichmon looked skeptical but continued to fly to their destination. As they reached, they saw some Digidestined having trouble. The Digidestined were at a disadvantage as they only had Yukidarumon while their opponents were Mammon.
Jazarichmon flew down and aimed his tail laser at them.
"N.S.B.M!"
The attack hit the Mammon, instantly disintegrating some of them. The remaining Mammon began to aim up, towards Jazarichmon. Jazarichmon was about to move quickly out of the way but faintly heard a small thump on his back.
Jazarichmon glanced back and saw that Miyako was beginning to lose consciousness.
"Miyako!"
Iori looked worried and looked like he was about to lose consciousness as well.
"I-I-It's t-too c-c-cold. Y-Your body i-is t-too c-c-cold…"
Jazarichmon stopped moving completely and aimed down, shooting at the Mammon. He didn't want to risk moving around and causing his partners to collapse. Jazarichmon was able to snipe most of the Mammon from his position, but he had to take some hits.
Eventually, with the help of the other Digidestined, the Mammon were all defeated. Iori had managed to keep Miyako awake, but they were shivering on top of Jazarichmon. Jazarichmon landed and placed them in front of him. He did his best to shield them from the cold winds.
Jazarichmon was so preoccupied with keeping his partners safe that he didn't even realise the large amount of remaining dark towers combining into one.
Miyako and Iori looked at Jazarichmon with thankful expressions as his wings wrapped around them.
Just then, a loud roar was heard. The Digidestined all looked to the source and saw a pair of glowing red eyes through the blizzard.
The Siberian Digidestined watched on in fear, while Miyako and Iori tried to bring their Digivices in front of them.
"S-SkullMammon…"
"M-Mega…"
Jazarichmon aimed his tail at the SkullMammon and shot.
SkullMammon began to advance towards them, effortlessly taking Jazarichmon's attacks without even flinching.
The other Digidestined stepped forward with their Yukidarumon. The Yukidarumon all attacked at once, throwing snowballs at SkullMammon.
SkullMammon didn't even care. It slammed its fore legs on the ground, causing a great wave of snow to wash over the Yukidarumon. The Yukidarumon were just able to put themselves in front of their partners to shield them.
Jazarichmon was the only one left, and he had barely any options. If he flew, his partners would be at risk again to the cold, but if he remained on the ground shielding them, he could do little to protect himself from a Mega.
Jazarichmon aimed his tail at SkullMammon and began to charge. SkullMammon continued to advance towards them slowly, his red eyes glowing menacingly.
Just as SkullMammon was reaching close, Jazarichmon finished charging.
"N.S.B.M!"
The beam engulfed SkullMammon.
However, SkullMammon was unharmed. It had stopped moving, but immediately continued to advance when the beam had died down.
Jazarichmon slashed with his tail, but it did nothing to SkullMammon. After the first hit, SkullMammon roared and slammed down on Jazarichmon's tail, keeping it pinned to the ground. Jazarichmon let out a sound of pain as SkullMammon began to stomp on him.
Jazarichmon kept his wings in front of him, protecting his partners the best he could. Jazarichmon was getting damaged very badly.
Iori and Miyako looked at each other and at Jazarichmon in concern. Jazarichmon remained unmoving, determined to protect his partners to the very end.
Suddenly, the attacks stopped. Jazarichmon weakly looked up and saw what had happened.
A roar had sounded, a very familiar one.
Imperialdramon had crashed into the SkullMammon, causing SkullMammon to be flung back. Imperialdramon flew up to the sky and his mouth was slightly open. The SkullMammon roared as it got up and aimed at Imperialdramon.
Imperialdramon roared as a dark ball formed in his mouth. SkullMammon roared as well and began to spin. It threw one of its vines at a rapid speed towards Inperialdramon. Imperialdramon's mouth opened wide.
"Mega Death!"
Imperialdramon's attack easily consumed SkullMammon's attack and hit SkullMammon. SkullMammon roared as it disintegrated. Imperialdramon landed on the ground next to Jazarichmon.
"You alright?"
"I'll manage. Can you help Miyako and Iori?"
"What happened?" Daisuke and Ken were on Imperialdramon's back and seemed unaffected by the cold due to being within Imperialdramon's shield.
"It's too cold for them."
Imperialdramon nodded and a beam was sent towards Miyako and Iori, bringing them into Imperialdramon's shield. Jazarichmon reverted and also went inside the shield.
Inside, almost all of the Digidestined were there, except Yamato and Hikari.
Daisuke and Ken turned to Koushiro.
"Everything is settled here, right?"
"Yep. We can go and pick up Hikari and Yamato now."
"Alright then. Let's go, Imperialdramon."
Imperialdramon nodded at Ken's instruction and began to fly off again, to pick up the last set of Digidestined and finally return home.
"So, they were saved in the nick of time?"
"Unfortunately, yes. SkullMammon was no match for Imperialdramon."
"No need to fret, Archnemon. There will be other chances, after all."
"Of course."
That's the end for this. This will likely be the last in this small extras section. Sorry it took so long. :P
As for the Tri sequel, it's coming soon. However, it definitely can't be written as fast as my previous story so I probably won't be following the same 2 weeks 2 chapters. Anyways, I'll be able to give a better estimate after a few chapters have been written. See you soon!
