Digimon Story: The Next Order

by The Hooded Writer

A month has passed since the world went back to normal. Six chosen ones fought with Digimon to save two worlds. Little did they know that defeating the Eaters was not the end of it. A new threat has appeared in the Digital World. Now the Cyber Sleuths and their friends are on the case to save Digimon from a war. ...And new allies join them from close by and somewhere VERY far way.

3. Chapter 3: Weapon of The Order

Deeper in Under Kawloon, the black-haired boy stood with his MegaKabuterimon, MegaSeadramon, and Volcamon. In front of them were a Monzeamon, an Ice Leomon and a BlueMeremon. "Alright, let's do this!" the boy said.

MegaKabuterimon rammed his horn onto BlueMeramon, knocking him over. "Horn Buster!" His horn glowed gold before it shot a shining ray into BlueMeramon defeating it.

"Fist of Ice!" IceLeomon threw a punch that sent a blast of cold wind and ice.

MegaSeadramon swerved around the attack and his horn glowed blue. "Lightning Javelin!" He shot a bolt of thunder at the IceLeomon taking it down.

Volcamon lifted Monzeamon then threw him to the ground and got out his mic. "Big Bang Voice!" he screamed into it making a shockwave that shattered the last target.

"Phew! Nice work boys." the teen said. "I just hope that was the last of- He shuddered when he heard a boom from the floor under him. "Of course not." He sighed before taking off towards the next floor.

Takumi and Yuuko were standing with their Digimon in the entrance to Kawloon Level 5. "Sure, is quiet." RizeGreymon said.

"Rapidmon is this powerful Digimon still here?" Takumi asked.

Rapidmon closed his eyes. "Yeah…now that we're this close I think it's a group of Digimon with two Digimon of great power actually."

"Two of them?"

"Is either one Crusadermon?" Yuuko asked.

Rapidmon shook his head. "No, neither are Royal Knights. But this dark energy…where did I feel this before?"

The Digimon pondered quietly, and Takumi looked at Yuuko who was staring at the floor. "Yuuko…tell me something."

"Huh? What is it?"

"You're not still thinking of revenge, are you?" Yuuko looked away before Takumi continued. "Listen, I get that you hate her. She used you and took your father from you. But making decisions solely based on that hatred isn't going to solve anything, it will just cloud your judgment. Besides your father is alive and well, isn't he? You have to move on." Yuuko took a sharp breath and clenched her fists.

DoruGreymon quietly sighed. "Oh great. She's about to go all Yuuko the blackhearted on us like the last time we were here, isn't she?"

"…I'm sorry Takumi."

Everyone looked at her in surprise. "Huh?"

When Yuuko finally faced them, they could see the regret in her eyes. "You're right. Ever since we heard she came back I couldn't stop thinking about what she did. But as you said I can't let these emotions get the better of me like I did back then."

"Yuuko…"

"Huh. That's unexpected." BlackMetalGreymon said. "I was expecting you to act a bit differently. Like you did the last time we were here."

Takumi looked at him. "Huh? What do you mean?"

"Is he still acting like he forgot?" BlackMetalGreymon muttered.

"I learned my lesson." Yuuko said. "Rushing recklessly at Crusadermon only caused problems. Takumi and Ami suffered the most for my selfishness. I don't want to repeat that error."

"What are you talking about?" Takumi asked.

"If I didn't chase after Crusadermon you and Ami wouldn't have been caught in her trap. And the two of you wouldn't be suffering the guilt of what happened eight years ago."

"Yuuko…we probably would have remembered it at one point or another."

"You don't know that. Either way, I'm not going to make the same mistake as before. Saving the Digital World is my primary focus, not defeating Crusadermon. I promise you, I'm not about to blind myself with anger. Whatever lies ahead we'll face it together."

Takumi smiled. "Good to hear."

Ami flew in with Arata behind her. "Hey guys, what did we miss?"

"Nothing in particular." Takumi said before noticing their Digimon. "Oh hey, you guys got your Digimon to go Ultimate too."

Lillymon twirled. "You bet! Now we can take on whatever it is hiding up here!"

"I don't know about that." Yuuko replied. "Rapidmon said there are still other Digimon here. And that there are two particularly powerful ones."

Angewomon looked ahead. "You're right. I can feel it. I sense something ominous…something familiar…"

Nokia landed behind them. "Hey guys, having a party over here?"

"Must be." Arata said. "Because you're late."

"Hey, I was the one who had to clear a floor all by her lonesome! You're welcome by the way!"

"Um Nokia?" Takumi squinted at her. "Weren't you the one who insisted on going in alone?"

"Wait, did I?"

"Just another day on the Nokia express, huh?" Ami asked.

"Well, whatever." Nokia shrugged. "We're all here now. With super awesome Ultimate Level Digimon no less! Now let's wrap this up!"

Yuuko's Digivice rung and she picked it up. "Yuugo?"

"Glad to see you're alright. Can you put me on speaker?" Yuuko pressed a button and held out her Digivice. "Can everyone hear me?"

"Loud and clear." Arata replied. "What's the situation?"

"Well, father has issued out a warming at all Forums for everyone to log out. He's calling it "required maintenance."

"I see." Takumi nodded. "We just cleared Kawloon save for level 5. It sounds like two powerful Digimon are there."

"Maybe you guys should fall back for now. It doesn't seem like they'll be able to hurt anyone, and we don't know how strong they are."

"Yuugo, we can't just leave them be." Yuuko replied. "Who knows what they're planning to do to EDEN."

"Yuuko's right." Ami nodded. "We can't ignore a threat like this."

"I want to see what's happening as well." WereGarurumon said. "I'll be honest. I'm starting to think we're responsible for this attack."

"If we can take the enemies ahead down, it might stop the invasion." Infermon suggested.

Yuugo sighed. "Damn it, I feel so powerless…I wish I could help."

"This is our part of the job Yuugo." Takumi replied. "Yours is making sure EDEN survives whatever happens as a result of this."

"Alright…Oh, one more thing. I ran a scan of Under Kawloon just to be safe."

"Under Kawloon?"

"What's that?" Ami asked.

Arata looked at her and her brother. "You two don't know? It's the lower levels of Kawloon. The five we just went through are actually only half of it."

"There are lower floors?" Takumi asked. "I had no idea."

"Anyway…" Yuugo said. "I noticed there were signals that I think were Digimon. But they're starting to vanish one by one."

"Wait, really?" Nokia asked. "What do you think happened?"

"I wish I knew."

"You don't think…" Ami muttered. "You don't think there's someone else dealing with Digimon down there, do you?"

"Well, there are plenty of other people with the Digital Monster app." Nokia said. "Maybe they have Digimon of their own."

"But nobody was with us when I made that hole back in the Digital World." Crowmon protested.

"Maybe one of us should go down there and take a look." Takumi said.

Yuuko shook her head. "No. From what Rapidmon and Angewomon said whatever is here is a real threat. We'll all need to work together."

Arata nodded. "I agree. We'll figure that one out later, let's focus on one thing at a time."

"I'll do some digging on my end." Yuugo said. "You guys be careful. Bail if it gets dangerous."

"We will." Yuuko replied. "Good luck."

"You too Yuuko." Yuugo hung up and the group started walking into Kawloon Level 5's entrance.

As soon as they passed through the gate Angewomon was tackled to the floor from the left. Four strong arms wrapped around her torso, arms and legs. Lillymon gasped and turned to her comrade. "Angewmon!"

"Get…off me!" the angel yelled. A Asuramon's four arms had Angewomon's wrists and ankles pinning her hands and feet to the floor.

RizeGreymon pointed his weapon at it. "Get off her freak! Last warning!" Asuramon looked at him then faced him with Angewomon lifted up, suspended upside down with her legs held skyward and her arms stretched to her left and right. "Coward!" RizeGreymon growled as Angewomon was held up like a shield. She screamed as Asuramon charged carrying her. Thinking it was going to ram them with her, everyone stepped aside, but it ran past them and slammed Angewomon face first into a wall.

Asuramon kept his grip on Angewomon's arms holding her against the wall but let her legs go so he had two hands that burned with flames. "Fire Fist of Shiva!" The two arms bombarded Angewmon's back with fiery punches. Angewomon screamed in pain before she put her now free legs to use and got Asuramon's head between her legs in a lock.

The Digimon chocked and stopped punching to grab her legs again with his extra hands to try to pry them off, but Angewmon gritted her teeth keeping her chock hold up while trying to pull her wrists free. Then Rapidmon shoulder charged Asuramon, and Angewmon got her hands loose before releasing her hold. "Heel of Justice!" She flipped into the air and flew forward foot first kicking Asuramon in the face.

"Giga Destroyer!" MetalGreymon finished the opponent off.

"Angewomon, are you okay?" Ami asked.

"I'll be alright. I shouldn't have let my guard down."

"He was alone." Yuuko said. "He must have been a guard. Meaning something important is here."

"Then let's get cracking." Takumi replied.

---

Thanks to Takumi, Ami, and Yuuko's previous experience, they were able navigate around the traps with ease. Soon they reached the end. Where they fought Craniumon last time. But this time no one was there to greet them. "This is the end." Takumi said. "No Digimon in sight."

"Don't let your guard down." Rapidmon replied. "There's more than just the two, I know it for a fact."

Suddenly a Cherrymon, appeared behind them and sent vines from its branches. Before anyone could turn around, Lillymon and Angewomon felt them coil around their wrists and ankles. Lillymon yelped. "Not agAAAAAAAIN!" she screamed as she and Angewomon were pulled over to the tree Digimon.

"Lillymon! Angewomon!" Ami yelled as the Cherrymon's vines pulled their Digimon's hands and feet apart making them stretch out in a star shape as they screamed in pain. Ami ran towards them.

"Sis, watch out!" Takumi tackled her to the floor and a red beam flew over their heads. A OrangeWarGrowlmon ran at them, but Rapidmon foot dived it, knocking it back.

"Kirisute Gomen!" A Musyamon charged in with a blade in hand. RizeGreymon blocked it with his cannon arm then pushed the Digimon back.

MetalGreymon and BlackMetalGreymon flew at the right and left of Cherrymon and shot their claws at the vines holding Lillymon and Angewomon spreadeagle releasing them. They turned around and shot a Flower Cannon and a Celestial Arrow at it, but a NobelPumpkinmon rushed in and blocked the attack. It then rushed into MetalGreymon, kicking him back then did the same to BlackMetalGreymon. "Hey!" Lillymon along with Angewomon took aim at it. Then Cherrymon's vines wrapped around them again, tying their arms to their torsos. "Oh, come OOOOOOON!" Lillymon screamed as she and Angewomon were pulled onto the greenery on its head. "Let us go you creep!" Lillymon yelled flailing her legs.

Angewomon grunted and kicked her legs into the air before noticing they were slowing down. "What?" She grunted and squirmed, but her body felt sluggish. "My strength is being drained…!"

Lillymon's body started to slacken. "He's stealing our power!"

"Crowmon, help them!" Ami yelled.

"Savage Emperor!" Crowmon blasted Chreeymon in one shot and Lillymon and Angewomon landed on their feet.

"Thanks for that." Lillymon flew up to where the NoblePimpkinmon was beating up the two MetalGreymon. "Payback time! Flower Cannon!"

"Celestial Arrow!" Angewomon and Lillymon shot it in the back.

"Trident Arm!" It turned around to attack them, but MetalGreymon and BlackMetalGreymon shot their metal claws into its back then breathed red and blue flames into it destroying it.

RizeGreymon knocked Musyamon down. "Trident Revolver!" He shot it while it was on the ground, defeating it.

"Golden Triangle!"

"Hell's Grenade!" Infermon and Rapidmon destroyed the OrangeGrowlmon along with a SkullMammothmon and a Starmon.

"Metal Meteor!" DoruGreymon defeated a ThunderBirdmon.

As the allied Digimon banded together, the remaining enemies backed up. "Gah! How are these guys so strong?!" a Devimon asked. "We were told attacking this human Cyber Space would be easy!"

"Who sent you here?!" Rapidmon asked. "Did you follow us?!"

"Lord Leopardmon knew you would try to reach out to the human world for assistance. We were told to terminate you before you could bring humans into our world. Of course, we were going to wipe out any witnesses, but you just had to get in the way of our fun!"

Angewomon aimed a Celestial Arrow at him. "It ends for you here."

A Thunderballmon turned around, gasped and slowly backed away. "Ah!"

"What now?" Devimon looked behind him and shuddered. "Erk!" The crowd of remaining Digimon cleared as a new, large Champion Level Digimon approached. "A-Algomon!"

"Yeek!" Nokia screamed at the sight of the purple sphere on tentacles with two metal hands and four eyes as it approached. "What IS that?!"

"I've never seen a Digimon like that before." Takumi said.

The Digimon stared at them. "Targets confirmed. Commence termination." Algomon said in a robotic voice as it raised its hands and they glowed yellow. The remaining enemy Digimon ran for cover.

"Here it comes!" Arata said.

"Thunder Fall." It raised its hands and bolts of lightning came down. All the Digimon dodged and made their moves.

"RizeGreymon, keep your distance!" Yuuko ordered.

"Rapidmon, you too!" Takumi said. "You guys are in charge of long range fire!"

"You as well Crowmon!" Ami said.

The three mentioned Digimon took flight. "The two MetalGreymon, DoruGreymon and WereGarurumon can be our front liners." Takumi said. "Infermon, Angewomon, and Lillymon will cover them."

"Sounds good to me." Arata said.

"Wolkenapalm!" MetalGreymon slammed his claw into Algomon, making it slide back. Algomon punched at him, but he jumped back. Then DoruGreymon rammed his skull into him from the left. Then he spun and rammed his tail at it. Algomon regained his footing and punched him.

BlackMetalGreymon stomped on him then jumped. "Meteor Fall!" He fired projectiles at him from above.

"Garuru Kick!" Were Garurumon jumped and kicked Algomon before throwing a punch. Algomon roared pushing him back then aimed at him, the two MetalGreymon and DoruGreymon, but then Angewomon kicked his arm, making him miss as he fired electric beams.

Lillymon picked up Infermon and threw him at Algomon. "Mach Rush!" Infermon bounced off his head.

"Imprisonment." Algomon sent pink tentacles out of his mouth. Lillymon and Angewomon gasped as they flew away. Infermon was caught in the swarm.

Angewomon looked behind her. The tentacles were gaining on her and Lillymon. They stopped and turned around. "Holy Light!"

"Gaia Element!" They shot at the vines, but they dodged the attack and tied the two up. "Why does this keep happening?!" Lillymon yelled as they struggled. "Ugh, this has to be the grossest thing I've been tied up in today!"

"Volt Line." Algomon sent electricity through the tentacles binding Infermon, Lillymon and Angewomon electrocuting them. Then missiles, red blasts and yellow lasers disintegrated the tentacles freeing them and Rapidmon, RizeGreymon and Crowmon flew overhead. They then turned around.

"Rapid Fire!" Rapidmon fired more missiles from his arm cannons.

"Rising Destroyer!" RiseGreymon's armor glowed and shot a orange laser.

"Fire Jewels!" Crowmon shot red pellets from his wings, blasting the Digimon. After getting hit, Algomon took aim at the Digimon in the air.

"Cocoon Crash!"

"Sun-Crescent Kick!" Lillymon glowed with her foot out as she and Infermon rammed into Algomon's head then bounced off it.

Angewomon glowed and held her hands together in front of her. "Heaven's Charm!" She spread her arms and a pink wave knocked Algomon over.

"Now's our chance!" Ami said. "Hit him with all you got!" The Digimon surrounded their target.

"Golden Triangle!"

"Revenge Fire!"

"Metal Meteor!"

"Flower Cannon!"

"Celestial Arrow!"

"Savage Emperor!"

"Giga Destroyer!"

"Wolf Claw!"

"Hell's Grenade!"

"Trident Revolver!" Using all their signature attacks, the Digimon blasted Alogmon from all angles making a huge explosion that nearly knocked the tamers back.

"Did we get him?" Nokia asked.

Everyone stared at the smoke for a bit. Then Takumi caught glimpse of a purple spark. "Wait, what was that?" A purple light erupted blinding them. Their Digimon backed up. Then two green vines flew out of the smoke. One wrapped around Angewomon's upper body and arms, and another snagged WereGarurumon. "What?!"

Smoke cleared and a new form of Alogmon appeared. Taller. Somewhat humanoid. Yellow eyes on his legs and chest. A black mask with a red horn on the top half of his head. Purple skin. Red nails. The tentacles that captured WereGarurumon and Angewomon were connected to him. "Did…did he just Digivolve?!" Ami asked.

"Ultimate form achieved. Resuming mission."

Rapidmon noticed his eyes weren't on him or any of his fellow Digimon…but on their partners. He turned around and yelled at Takumi and the others. "Guys, look out!"

Vines burst out of the ground surrounding them. They humans looked at them uneasily. Then two flung into Takumi and Ami wrapping them up. "Hey!" Ami grunted as she tried to pull her arms out.

"Hold on!" MetalGreymon flew in to help but more vines flew from Algomon from behind and tied him up too.

Arata, Nokia and Yuuko were also grabbed. "What the hell are these things?!" Arata yelled.

Nokia squirmed in the tentacle grabbing her. "Let us go, you creeper!"

Yuuko grunted at the pressure pressing against her arms and body that only seemed to get tighter when she struggled. "He caught us…"

"W-what's going on?" Rapidmon noticed something. "Why do I feel my power fading."

"I Algomon have been created by Lord Leopardmon for the sole purpose of combating Digimon that have allied with humans. I have been programed to weaken the power of Digimon and human bonds."

"Weakening our bonds with our Digimon…?" Takumi grunted. "Is that what these tentacles are doing?"

"Hell Crusher." The Ultimate Level Alogmon sent a violet wave at the other Digimon blowing them back. He then captured RizeGreymon, Infermon and DoruGreymon in his vines.

"BlackMetalGreymon, cut them lose!" Takumi said.

"Trident Arm!" BlackMetalGreymon fired his claw to free DoruGreymon, but Alogmon rushed in and blocked it with his hands. "W-what the-

Alogmon pulled him in and punched him to the ground. Then more vines captured him along with Rapidmon who flew in to help. "No! Lillymon, don't get caught too you're our last hope!" Ami shouted.

"Yeah, no pressure." Lillymon muttered. More vines flew at her, but she dodged. "Flower Cannon!" She aimed and fired a blast right into Algomon's head, but he didn't even react to it. "Ugh…between having my strength sapped by that Cherrymon, and having my link with Ami sabotaged, I don't have a lot of power…" Algomon sent more vines. Lillymon flew away and swerved around to dodge. But she was yanked to a halt when one coiled around her ankle. She shrieked and looked down as another wrapped around her other ankle. She was about to fire a Flower Cannon when one more wrapped around her torso and arms. "N-no…!"

All the Digimon and humans were now captured. "Targets acquired." Alogmon said. "Elimination Line." The vines holding everyone zapped their prey making them all scream.

It didn't take long for Nokia to pass out. Yuuko and Arata didn't last much longer. "N-no…" Ami muttered before closing her eyes. "Not…here…"

Takumi struggled to stay conscious, but his head was feeling clouded by the second. "I'm…sorry…everyone…" His vision of Algomon became blurry as everything went black.

"Go Cyber Sleuths! Find the truth that only you can!"

All was dark around Takumi and Ami when they opened his eyes. It was like everything around them vanished. And the saw in front of them a Digimon in black armor nodding to them. "That's right." Takumi thought. "We agreed to help find out what was going on in the Digital World."

Ami's expression grew serious. "Now that we've taken up this case, we need to see it through to the end! That's our duty as Cyber Sleuths!"

Both of them started glowing. The vines coiled around them were destroyed. The shocking stopped as Takumi and Ami's six Digimon opened their eyes and burst free yelling. Algomon stepped back. "Error."

Takumi and Ami put their goggles on. "This isn't over yet!" He looked at his unconscious friends. "Guys come on! We can still win this! We have to! Failing isn't an option and you know it!"

"Think of everything we've been through together!" Ami added. "Are you just going to let it end here?! We can't do this on our own! We need all of you!"

Nokia, Arata and Yuuko opened their eyes before they broke free. Shortly after their Digimon did the same. Arata grinned. "Sorry, just resting my eyes."

"Must you always attempt to act cool?" Yuuko asked.

"I can feel our bond with our partners growing stronger than ever before." Rapidmon said.

"Me too!" Lillymon added. "It's amazing!"

Algomon looked at the Digimon. "Does not compute. The power of your bonds was sealed."

"Ha! Like you can stop us from loving Digimon!" Nokia declared. "As long as we're still around we'll always be ready to fight for our partners and each other! Right Cyber Sleuths?!"

Takumi nodded. "We'll defeat this guy together."

"And together we're going to the Digital World!" Ami said. All five of them took out their Digivices. After making some inputs, Rapidmon and the others burst with blue light.

"Rapidmon Digivolve to…" Rapidmon flew into the air as he emitted a green light around him. His arms shattered as new bigger, mechanical arms burst out of his body. Massive, bullet barrels here installed on the wrists. Next his legs lower body shattered as giant legs came out and green metal plates came together around the shins. Then his torso exploded making way for a bigger one with green armored plating and twin missile launchers on the shoulders with yellow faces. His head was replaced with one resembling a dog with a green helmet, a horn and fins on the sides and top. The colossal Digimon opened his eyes and lightning flashed as he spun and kicked the air before landing on the ground with a boom. "MegaGargomon!"

"Lillymon Digivolve to…" Red flower petals engulfed Lillymon's body. Then starting with her legs, a reddish pink body emerged with a red rose on her upper head. Pink lipstick appeared on her mouth as blond hair flowed behind her with a tie of green petals and red roses at the end. Her arms stretched out and red gloves came as a thorny whip coiled around her chest and arms. Then a skintight red suit that had a hole at her midriff and left her shoulders and cleavage bare spread down her body as she slipped into thigh high black high heeled boots. A pink gem glowed on her chest. "Rosemon!"

"MetalGreymon Digivolve to…" Metal Greymon turned pure yellow, and a beam engulfed him as he changed into a smaller, humanoid form with armor. Red and silver shin guards appeared gold shoulder pads and gauntlets that grew silver claws were next. The rest of his body gained color including red hair, a silver mask and chest plate and green eyes. A golden shield with a sun symbol appeared on his back before splitting in two on an angle. He swung his arms and waves of fire formed around him. He spread his arms emitting a shockwave and stomped. "WarGreymon!"

"WereGarurumon Digivolve to…" WereGarurumon's body became blue before being enveloped in blue light and transforming into an armored wolf on four legs with silver missile launchers on his shoulders. As he gained new colors of white, gold, and purple he dashed forward and took flight. He sprouted gold wings and a bladed tail. He flew upward and in a loop before he landed. Missile launchers opened up all over his body and fired. Ice formed where they hit. "MetalGarurumon!"

"BlackMetalGreymon Digivolve to…" BlackMetalGreymon's body burst as it changed. He grew a silver mask with yellow hair to match his eyes. A silver chest plate strapped onto him and yellow and silver shinpads appeared. Two halves of a giant shield extended from his back, and he held out his arms for black gauntlets to come on and he spun into the air. The claws on his gauntlets extended and flames erupted around him as he spread his arms. "BlackWarGreymon!"

"Angewomon Digivolve to…" The gold ring around Angewomon's left ankle emitted gold ribbons with pink text that made loops around her. She held out her arms and some of those ribbons coiled around them and became mint green armored gloves with silver biceps. Then around her shoulders forming round shoulder pads with spikes. Then around her chest making a green breastplate with yellow circles and a red dot. Then around her hips before forming a green fauld with a golden cross that then grew a green armored dress that grew a cloth of white at the bottom. She grew eight golden wings, and a golden javelin appeared in one of her hands and a green and gold shield in the other. Her helmet glowed pink before turning green with a gold star with orange fair flowing out the back. She spun her weapon in her hand before taping the bottom of it on the floor. "Ophanimon!"

"Infermon Digivolve to…" Infermon stood up on his hind legs before his middle and upper legs merged together into larger greener limbs serving as arms. His legs before larger and green too. His hands and feet became blue and his cocoon-like body morphed to be blue and pointy at the shoulder area before a green neck stretched out of it rising his head that exploded making way for a blue and green head with yellow hair and eyes. Red spikes formed on his back, hands and feet. "Diaboromon!"

"DoruGreymon Digivolve to…" Flamed swallowed Dorugreymon and out soured a purple being. His legs became silver, and a long tail extended before becoming a matching tail with a sharp bladed tip. Then his arms became silver and razor sharp claws grew from his fingers. His torso gained silver colors with round purple shoulders and who purple wings sprouted before they spread and became purple, silver and gold. He raised his head and it became silver with tall horns a red gem on his forehead and yellow eyes. He lifted his head and roared as fire appeared in his hands. "Dorugoramon!"

"Crowmon Digivolve to…" Pools of water formed under and to the sides of Crowmon. As her feet and wings sank into them her body morphed into a woman wearing a black body suit with a white belly and purple heels with flowing white hair. She reached a hand out behind her and more ripples formed before red, blue green and yellow spirits flew to her and coiled around her before dissipating. She then wore a blue breastplate with a yin yang symbol, a belt with a purple fox head, her boots extended up her shins, and she had purple shoulder pads and gauntlets. She removed a hand from her face revealing her purple fox mask. Her hair had two ties at the end giving her long twin tails at the back of her head. She jumped into the air and backflipped. She landed on a magic circle holding a staff and spun in place. "Kuzuhamon!"

"RizeGreymon Digivolve to…" RizeGreymon's body became a golden orange before spinning in place making a tornado of that color light. His head came out first with a helmet that had three horns. Then two armored arms, then two legs with baggy pants. Long hair came out from behind his head. Two swords that curved appeared in his hands and he leapt up into the air, and gained color on his way down. Black, red, and gold samurai armor, silver blades and horns and two silver swords. He landed and swung his swords. "Samudramon!"

One by one the Mega Level Digimon landed around Algomon. The Digimon glanced at each of them. "Level of threat increased. Processing…continuing mission parameters."

"Heh. Good luck with that." MegaGargomon scoffed.

Algomon ran up towards him to throw a punch, but Dorugoramon flew in and blocked it with one hand before punching him in the face wit the other. He then jumped and spun his tail into him. Algomon stumbled back and Diaboromon charged in and foot dived him from the left. Algomon turned and sent vines at the humans again, but Rosemon slashed them apart with her whips before any of them could be touched. "Don't think you'll be pulling that again." The Digimon said. "You want them, you'll have to get through us first."

Algomon shot purple beams from the eyes on his body at her, but WarGreymon and BlackWarGreymon flew in and blocked them with their Brave Shields. "Enemy force exceeds calculations. Backup required."

As if on que, a Puppetmon, a Goldramon, a Durandamon, and a Cannondramon stepped in. "Numbers alone won't save you!" Arata said.

Takumi and Ami nodded to each other. "BlackWarGreymon, Dorugoramon, Ophanimon, Kuzuhamon, you guys deal with the back up! The rest of you, take Algomon!" The Digimon nodded and spung into action. WarGreymon and Rosemon rammed into Algomon and MegaGargomon, MetalGarurumon, Diaboromon, and Samudramon, ran after them. CannonDramon fired a Dyna Cannon, but BlackWarGreymon blocked it with his shield. He then flew up and slashed his opponent with his claws.

Puppetmon threw a red ball of string into Kuzuhamon, and it burst open tying her up making her drop her staff. It then ran up to her. "Puppet Pummel!" It jumped to smash her with its hammer but Ophanimon came in and blocked it with her shield. She smirked before pushing it back.

Puppetmon flipped backwards and fired bullets from his hammer. Ophanimon charged as she blocked them with her shield. "Eden's Javelin!" Her weapon glowed gold as she pierced through it.

Durandamon charged at Kuzuhamon thinking it could get her while she was still tied up, but she smirked. Her arms may have been bound but her legs were free. She stomped on her staff, and it flipped into Durandamon's face. She kicked it repeatedly with one leg then spun and rammed the heel of her other into it. She then broke free of the string and summoned her staff into her hand. As Durandamon charged at her she spun her staff around then slammed it into the ground. "Taizoukai Mandala!" A magic circle appeared and created an explosion of light that destroyed Durandamon as it got close.

Goldramon charged into Dorugoramon and their hands locked as they grappled. Dorugoramon kneed Goldramon and grabbed its head in his hands before reeling his back. He headbutted it then slammed his knee in its face. He then took to the sky and roared. "Brave Metal!" As Goldramon fired a God Flame as Dorugoramon charged but he became a sphere of fire that pushed through the beam and immediately destroyed Goldramon on impact.

BlackWarGreymon sliced off Cannondramon's cannons with his claws them backed away. "Dark Terra Force!" He formed a dark red sphere in his hands that grew as he held it over his head. He then threw it at Cannondramon and it exploded. Cannondramon was down a front and back leg and had holes in his body. BlackWarGreymon spun in place and became a hurricane. "Black Tornado!" He charged into Cannondramon, piercing through his body destroying him.

Algomon was punched in the face by MegaGargomon who then backed up and struck with Heaven's Thunder. Algomon sent vines at him, but Samudramon zipped in and sliced them with his Rinkazan. "Will-O-Wisp Slash!" He swiped his swords leaving two trails of fire that blew Algomon back.

"Metal Wolf Claw!" MetalGarurumon sent a blast of ice from his mouth freezing Algomon's legs to the ground. "Ice Wolf Claw!" He then fired missiles all over his body that froze the rest of Algomon.

"Yeah! Now it's your turn WarGreymon!" Nokia said.

"Great Tornado!" WarGreymon rammed into Algomon as a fiery cyclone slashing through him. He then turned around and summoned a giant fireball over his head. "Terra Force!" He then threw it into Algomon and it exploded. He came out of the smoke and charged towards WarGreymon.

"Catastrophe Cannon!" Diaboromon blasted him repeatedly with golden spheres fired off from his chest. He then flung his hands forward and his arms extended so they could jab Algomon.

Algomon reeled up for another attack as the eyes on his body glowed. "Thunder Fa-

"Thorn Whip!" Rosmeon swung her whip against the ground a couple of times before she thrusted it into Algomon. She then flew up in front of him. "Rune Forrest!" A blast of green pushed him back.

MegaGargomon's eyes narrowed on his target. Through his view a aiming reticle focused on Algomon before he saw the words "target locked". Parts of his armor opened reveling cannons. "Burst Shot!" He fired a storm of missiles and green pellets. Algomon stepped back as he was blasted with the full arsenal.

Rosemon's body turned pink. "Forbidden Temptation!" She fired a pink blast at Algomon, making him stumble back further.

"Giant Missile!" MegaGargomon then launched his shoulder missiles. They exploded and Algomon was sent flying before he landed on his back.

Takumi and Ami high fived as Nokia, Arata and Yuuko cheered. "That's right!" Nokia grinned. "Don't underestimate this dream team!"

Algomon struggled to get up, but lacked the strength to stand. "Error…error…does not compute…enemy power output…exceeds parameters…"

"What the heck is this thing?" Ami asked. "He said Leopardmon made him to combat us humans?"

"You got me." Rosemon shrugged. "Never seen anything like it. But this means Leopardmon really was prepared for us to ask you guys for help."

"Of course, he was."

Everyone looked up to see someone approach. A person with red pants, a black coat with a hood over their head, and a white mask concealing their face. "Huh? Where did this guy come from?" Arata asked.

The figure walked up to Algomon and spoke with a voice filter of some sort through the mask. "A pity. It seems his majesty's "ace in the hole" still isn't ready. But it did Digivolve through the battle with you guys. That's progress I suppose." The person then turned to the Tamers.

"His Majesty?" MetalGarurumon asked. "You mean Leopardmon?! Are you working with him?!"

"This guy knows about the Digital World?!" Arata asked.

"Ha. Do I know about it? I've been there for a while now. Just came back here for the first time in a while when I was chasing your pets here…with some company."

Takumi glared at the person. "So, you're the one who brough all these Digimon into EDEN! Who are you?!"

They pressed their mask against their face. "Just call me…K."

In the depths of Under Kawloon, the teen in the blue jacket stood with a HerculesKabuterimon, and MetalSeadramon, and a PileVolcamon, facing a weakened Dinorexmon, Piedmon, and Eaglemon. "Finish the job!" the boy said.

"River of Power!" MetalSeadramon's giant gold cannon fired a blue beam that obliterated Eaglemon.

PileVolcamon shot a meteor from his back. "Volcanic Driver!" He jumped up and caught it and slammed down on Dinorexmon, destroying it in a fiery explosion.

"Giga Blaster!" HurculesKabuterimon's horn glowed before shooting a giant beam that destroyed Piedmon.

"Alright!" The teen grinned. "Man, you guys grew up a lot faster than last time! Ha, ha!"

The Digimon turned to him. "Thanks to you buddy!" PileVolcmaon said holding a thumb up.

"Impressive." The Digimon heard a voice, followed by footsteps then a spear sinking into the ground. "Your power has increased since we last met."

The boy looked past his Digimon and gasped at the sight of another Digimon. "You're…!"

And so, the plot thickens. Stay tuned to see what K has in store for the team.
