EL Digital Saviors 10

Well here are readers chapter 10. Our heroes will come face to evil face with their first major enemy from the Network... Devimon! But first he'll see if the Digidestined are even worthy of facing him. They must defeat his army of minions before they can even hope to square off with this unholy Digimon! Are they up to it? Read and find out!

-chapter 10 - Rise of Devimon

The following morning our group of young heroes and heroines slowly stirred out of bed mostly by way of their Digimon partners. All of them with the notable exception of Patamon that is. Lucy again saw it was her job to personally wake up the mammal type with her usual magic words. ''Hey Patamon meat apple.''

Jumping right off from the rosette's bed Patamon started drooling while simultaneously licking his chops. "Where's the meat apple? Where is it?'' It was then he realized he'd been duped yet again by his partner. "Lucy! Not funny!''

''Sorry had to. It's too funny.'' The pinkette admitted. "Y'know it's just a joke right?''

Grumbling the orange rookie then fluttered downstairs after his partner to get breakfast ready in Lucy's case a special recipe of pancakes she learned from Swanmon. Seeing as how everybody else got showered, dressed, and picked up their bento lunches the rosette figured she would fix up a batch of "Fruity Pancake Surprise" for her new friends as a surprise.

The pink haired girl had Patamon to help her this time... something he wasn't good at per ce. In fact he was a nervous wreck last time when Swanmon had tried to teach him basic cooking skills but long story short to this day even now he couldn't even boil noodles. "Oh Patamon could you crack the eggs for me?''

"Crack the eggs?" Patamon asked hopelessly lost picking one up giving it a confused stare. "How can you crack eggs? Their supposed to be hard right?"

Figuring she'd show him how it was done once then let him do it for himself. "Ok pay attention. First hit the egg along the middle of the bowl's rim like so.'' Lucy said to her partner as she did just as she said. Patamon took the next egg and like his partner instructed then cracked the second egg needed for the special pancake mix into a bowl.

"There, not that hard is it?" The girl said to her data based partner then went about mixing in the dried figs, cherries, pineapple, and chopped apple with skin left on for fiber. She went back to the instruction sheet and reread it to be sure she knew what she was doing. She almost forgot the carrot juice.

The girl continued along as she mixed the batter with a spoon. Once done she got out the orange juice to pour plus the toast and butter for decorative garnish. Patamon while not having any major cooking skills to speak of at least checked and saw Lucy had missed adding strawberries for the toast garnish. He went about rummaging in the fridge until he found some in the back.

Waking up a little groggy Bokomon and Neemon got up to do their morning "nature call" they did every morning. The two saw the girl fixing food too much for herself when it hit them like a ton of bricks Lucy was making a surprise breakfast for the Inn all by herself. Neemon gestured wanting to help but his companion snapped his pant's waist band. Neemon clamped his mouth but the snap really smarts. The twosome made themselves gone not wanting to pester their friends at their work.

The rosette then turned on the griddle ready to start her surprise. Next Patamon spritzed the griddle with water checking it. Lucy then poured the batter onto the griddle. "Ok time to start actually cooking our griddle cakes. Patamon could you pour the juice for everyone. Then set out the plates.'' Checking her cakes for a second the girl sent Patamon to pour the juice into the glasses she brought out.

Setting out the plates was next and with four arms instead of the standard two the girl got it done quickly. Checking her first cake batch she turned them over to cook even on the other side. Patamon then checked the toast and buttered it got to the strawberries next slicing them length wise while setting them on the buttered toast. She soon tended to the next batch of hotcakes to cook. Flipping the batch she then started cooking up the hash browns. Patamon went about finishing up the food prep. The meal was finished.

By this point everyone came charging down the stairs ready to eat. Needless to say everyone was impressed by the sheer skill of their new house mate's culinary abilities. Yuka had to ask just what she whipped up this time. "So Luce whatcha cooked up this time hmm?''

Not to be a boaster Lucy however accepted her cooking compliments with a humble note. "Fruity Pancake Surprise. Something Swanmon taught me when I was younger. They're pancakes with dried figs, cherries, pineapple, and chopped apple added to them. Try 'em I think you'll all like them.''

Patamon then had to brag. "And I helped.'' He boasted like a ham sounding much like an old commercial.

"But what about the Inn who'll clean it while we're busy?'' Alex asked while everyone except Alex himself, Mayu, JP, and Jason broke into a fit of laughing.

Going into a very dry type of tone Jason had to ask just what was so very funny. "What may I ask is so darned funny? Who's keeping track of this place while we're at school? Kohta mentioned we can stay for free only if we keep it cleaned.''

"I will err we will just like last time of course. Just like before if you're in any trouble with the network don't hesitate to call your partners. Study hard everyone.'' Bokomon said acting much like the scholar he was.

After the group finished up their well prepared breakfast everyone grabbed their lunches then headed off to the college... or to be more accurate the quartet as Yuka, Kohta, JP, and Jason went out the door and began walking to their 'new' university. Meanwhile Alex, Kanae, and Mayu however had to catch that city bus a few blocks over to get themselves to their high school and Mayu to her elementary school respectively. Alex was a freshman too but needed a friend's help to show him the way around the school. Following after Mayu was Renamon ever keeping watch on her young friend.

Once the school kids were gone the likes of the Diclonii girl and the resident Digimon once again divided up the chores. However that voice, the nagging darkness deep in her head was now back especially after how she was distrusted by the trio of Americans Kohta and Kanae were so familiar with.

''You know the world will never accept you and the Digimon. Humans fear Diclonii locking them up like lab rats any more who're born are just as often put down like rabid animals. You know it for a fact the public is the threat here. You saw how mistrusting JP, Alex, and Jason were of you... its the same as that of the orphanage. Once everyone finds out how different you are and about your monster friends they'll turn on you. Your sole purpose in life is to slaughter all who oppose you, you possess enough power to kill them! Planet earth belongs to your kind not humans and those data monsters!'' Her voice said.

''No... I'm nothing like that! Stop it Kohta and and the others trust me I'm a house mate not an executioner!" She shouted in her head trying to rid herself of the terrifying things it was suggesting to her.

She was just about ready to let that voice really have it when the voice of Patamon her closest friend and companion interrupted her from her deep emotional conflict. ''Hey Luce you alright?"

Suddenly Lucy dropped the glass of juice which shattered on the kitchen floor snapping her from her fight with her inner demons. She then realized she was standing in one place like a statue while glass lay on the floor. She tried to do her best at faking nothing was bothering her. ''Patamon!? Uh um geez don't scare me like that! Nothing's on my mind nothing at all.''

Looking down at the broken cup then at the pinkette Patamon knew something was troubling the poor girl otherwise she wouldn't have tried to say she was ok. ''Lucy you're a bad liar. An old phrase says "He who is good at lying is seldom good at anything else''. Something's been bothering since you came back to the human world.'' Patamon said getting pretty blunt. "If anything's wrong you can tell me.''

Knowing by now the rosette couldn't fake her way out of this spell of hers she put on then she tried to say it as delicately as she could without really explaining too much. ''Patamon... What would you do... if you thought or found out... that I was crazy?''

To this frankly unexpected explanation Patamon's brow went up. This wasn't the answer he'd been expecting at all. Was his partner suddenly experiencing an onset of a mental illness like bipolar or worse schizophrenia? Whatever it was he'd have to do his best to support her. "I'd likely support her on getting whatever help she needed. That's what I'd do.''

Upon hearing what her friend told her just now she collapsed and started hugging him tightly. It was clear whatever she'd been experiencing had really shaken her. ''Patamon thank you... I keep hearing this evil voice telling me I'm to do nothing but kill, kill, and kill. I don't want to kill... argh! I'm a monster!'' She shouted out while starting to cry and sob again truly rattled by her emotional turmoil.

"You're not. You've got something few Diclonii have and most people have... A brave heart.'' Patamon said putting a very friendly paw on his distressed partner's shoulder mostly to reassure her. "C'mon let's get to the house chores. If there's any trouble around these parts we'll handle it ok.''

"Ok. Oh and uh um... Patamon... thanks. Thanks for the pick-me-up. I dunno what I woulda done without you to help me back then.'' The girl admitted carefully using her vectors to clean up the broken glass and dump them all into an old coffee can then put the lid back on. It was mostly to keep the pieces from cutting anyone when the trash was taken out.

Again taking the orange Digimon by surprise Lucy gave him a swift peck on his cheek, something he strongly protested against. "ACK! Lucy stop with the kissing!" Patamon yelped out still not happy to be kissed by his pink haired partner.

Seeing as well as hearing Patamon's rants Salamon couldn't help but took a few playful 'jabs' at him. Frankly she was the girl that stood out in the little rookie's heart... in short Salamon liked Patamon and vice versa. But it didn't stop her from teasing Patamon every now and then. Patamon was just so easy to tease. ''Oh here and I thought you liked girls now. So what gives Patamon?''

Also finishing up the dishes Bokomon and Neemon along with everyone there broke into a very big fit of the giggles. ''Traitors... '' Patamon muttered out.

-meanwhile

In town at Mayu's schoolyard meanwhile things were going smoothly well as smoothly as they could considering that her friends found out about her family's deaths by one of the monsters running rough shot over the city lately. Yet again her two closest friends Rina and Haruka met up with her in their shared homeroom.

-begin SUPER VOYAGER by Cyber Nation Network

''So Mayu how ya holdin' up since y'know your mom buying the farm and all?'' Rina timidly asked trying not to step on of her friends' toes so to speak or in lay terms not to hit any sore spots.

She told the two about her new living arrangements and her new house mates. Needless to say they were a bit put off by the fact four of them were college kids plus two high schoolers. She still didn't know how to explain Lucy yet. But before she could fill in the two on anything else the three heard a huge buzzing sound then an attack being called out. ''Brown Stinger!''

Suddenly several oddly pink not brown stingers shot down from the sky heading right for the triad of preteen girls. Numerous other students were frozen by fear figuring them for goners... When just as suddenly a yellow blur sped down and pushed them to safety.

The stingers then shot down and stuck in the walkway as the form revealed itself as Renamon though Rina and Haruka figured this must be the fox spirit that must've been following her around next the two knew was that the buzzing got louder when everyone saw who was making it... a dog sized monster hornet. Last night Mayu having listened to the others knew how to use her Digivice' scan mode. ''Scan mode activate! There that scan mode can help me out. Here he is—Flymon—classified as an Insectoid Digimon; a Champion level Virus type. And I think we already know what his attack is, and it's not very pleasant."

The likes Renamon stood up and apparently stood a head and half taller than the trio of elementary preteens. This was the first Haruka and Rina had heard the word 'Digimon'. Was that the monster's name species? Haruka also noticed six caterpillar Digimon tagging along with Flymon. Three were yellow while others were bright green. ''And it looks like he brought an army with him! They look like insect larvae with lightning markings on their shells.''

''Kunemon and Dokunemon. Rookie level. Virus typed Larva Digimon.'' Renamon explained.

Still in a bit of shock at her near death experience Mayu finally regained her bearings. Renamon just saved her and her friends' hides. ''Thanks for the save Renamon.''

''No thanks needed. But I don't think I've been formally introduced to your friends.'' Renamon said being humble looking her partner's tomboyish and brainy friends over.

''Girls Renamon. Renamon Rina and Haruka. Ok this is it ready to rock?'' Mayu said smirking while taking out her now yellow glowing Digivice.

''I'm always ready.'' Renamon replied coolly.

While the likes of Haruka and Rina were a nervous wreck the likes of their best friend Mayu instead stood her ground as the Americans said like a boss. ''Renamon go get 'em! Rina Haruka get everyone out of this area. I don't want anyone getting hurt because of them. What're you waiting for go on go girls!''

The likes of Haruka blinked when she realized Mayu was serious beyond belief. Nodding she had only a few simple things to say. ''Ok. Mayu be careful. Renamon take care of her.''

''Roger will co captain!'' Rina said giving her friend a military-esque salute then dragging Haruka along with her.

The form of Flymon then hovered just above the grassy lawn surrounding the school. His pointed right at Mayu with one of his pointy front legs and he was clearly angry. ''Heh so you're one of the fabled Digidestined not much to look at. Frankly if there's one thing I really hate in this world its pesky little girls. Boys go get 'em!''

The squad of Larvae Digimon charged straight for Renamon who dodged the charge of one, side rolled away from another, then punched the last one so hard in the face its beak-like mandible broke. The sheer power of the blow sent that Dokunemon flying and crashing into a parked car door. By now Flymon was enraged. ''Your defenses can't keep up forever minions let the slaughter begin!''

By now the likes of Renamon still had three minions left to take care of. A Kunemon then used its primary attack while another Dkunemon blocked her escape. ''Electro Thread!'' The attack worked when Kunemon spits out an electrically-charged thread of silk from its hard beak, which can knock out anyone who gets entangled in it with an intense electric shock.

However Renamon was very much prepared and used a strange counterattack. ''Kohenkyo!" Using a transformation art Renamon in which she copies the opponent's appearance and re-covers herself in that texture in this hers with Dokunemon.

The said green Larva was then blasted by its yellow combatant destroying it completely. The last two rookies were obliterated by Renamon next attack. ''Diamond Storm!'' She called out throwing sharpened crystal shards at them.

Seeing his entire force taken out Flymon flew into a rage. "How dare you attack my unit now you'll really gonna get it!'' Flymon spat out readying to attack.

Unbeknownst to the Digidestined and Digimon Haruka and Rina had snuck out from the school to watch their friend in action. Mayu however was still standing her ground. ''No! Yer gonna get it! Renamon get him. Execute! Champion Level Digivolve!"

''Renamon Digivolve to... KYUBIMON!" Renamon now Kyubimon called out.

''Its time I take you out! And I don't mean on a date either! Fox Tail Inferno!" Kyubimon called out as the blue flames on her tails become brighter, and developed the familiar ghostly faces on them. The faces become small fireballs which Kyubimon then hurled at Flymon.

''DAHHH!'' He yelled out as Renamon knew it was time to finish her foe off.

''Dragon Wheel!" Kyubimon then readied herself then started to spin very fast, which causes the flames on her body to burst into a fiery inferno. This turned her body into a ball of swirling and searing blue fire. When in this state, Kyubimon summons a mystical flame dragon, which emerges from her body to destroy her enemies.

The dragon flame impacted the flying hornet swallowing him up in a huge blue fireball. "DAHH NO DEVIMON! NO FORGIVE ME!'' The once mighty virus wailed out his body began reducing itself to dust.

-meanwhile again

Back at the high school Kanae was helping Alex adjust to the Japanese styled of education. She introduced him to her friends Mimi, Yolei, Yoshi, and of course Izumi. The half Italian however was not very impressed by his frankly nerdy looks. "Look uh Kanae I hate to say this but he's not exactly the type I'd choose for a boyfriend.'' She said pulling aside as well as whispering into her friend's ear.

''I have to distinctly agree. He looks a little scrawny to be honest... " Izumi said not impressed by him in the least.

Mimi however somehow sensed something was off about him. It was the same feeling she got from Kanae recently. Yoshi also figured he wasn't much to look at. "Here I thought Americans tended to be buff and have big muscles... Like the kind of kid who always gets picked last for football or whatever type of ball based gaming they do in the states.''

Hearing things like this reminded Alex of the kids who always bullied him. It was a known fact in New York bullies called him a crybaby... In reality he was very, very sensitive. Not wanting Kanae or her galpals to see him start blubbering Alex wasn't stupid mind you he heard everything and was about to turn around right on his heel when suddenly Kanae defended him. ''Izumi! Mimi! Yolei and Yoshi! Alex isn't my boyfriend and I can't believe you all would be so judgmental of him! He's that boy I met during those summer's in New York when I was little.''

Taking the nerdy boy's hand she shot her friend's a glare that clearly meant 'I can't believe you guys'. This action made the boy go beet red so much it made apples jealous. ''C'mon let's head to class... AHHHH!" Kanae let out a scream when the school was hit by a powerful explosion near the parking lot.

-begin Biggest Dreamer by Kouji Wada

Everyone in the hallway nearly fell square on their hind ends though Alex was able to ride out the tremor. On the other hand Kanae's sudden screaming echoed in the boy's ears and she even though mostly out of instinct jumped into his arms. But once she saw what she did she jumped away going just as red as Alex was. ''Oh geez... Sorry Alex!''

Alex went just red in return though secretly he for lack of better terms he enjoyed the fact she jumped to into his arms. Maybe just she did like him if only subconsciously. The two teens gave each other a reassuring look then ran off to see what caused the powerful explosion. Izumi however yelled for her friend and Alex to come back and not be reckless. ''Kanae wait! Don't be stupid!''

''Hold up! It might be dangerous!'' Yoshi said calling out to them next.

-explosion site

When the two stopped at the explosion site they were horrified to see the side of the building had caved away... Meaning something really did blow it up or something went wrong in the chemistry lab. Both teens noticed the likes of Tentomon had flown Palmon to the school in case of emergency. The four then heard some voices Palmon made the gesture to keep quiet which they agreed with. They came from what looked like four evil cartoony ghosts wearing black witch hats plus a trio of ugly brown bug-like Digimon. The bug-like monster spoke to the ghosts. "They weren't here. What do you Soulmon have for brains? Jello!?''

''Well excuse us if we're not much on the brain department Roachmon! You get what Devimon hired us for remember?'' It seemed the ghosts were called Soulmon and the others named Roachmon of things. There just had to be Digimon based on cockroaches.

Kanae immediately got sick... she absolutely despised roaches and seeing a Digimon based one was a bit much. ''Roachmon... yuck.''

''Soulmon?'' Alex whispered back see as how these virus Digimon were likely the cause of the school's woes. "Hey Kanae you ready?''

''Ready.'' Kanae said just as sure.

''Execute! Champion Level Digivolve!" The two teens call out simultaneously. This caught the bugs and ghosts attention turning to face their Digidestined enemies.

-begin Run Around by Jasan Radford

"Palmon Digivolve to... SUNFLOWMON!'' Palmon now Sunflowmon called out.

''Tentomon digivolve to... KABUTERIMON!" Tentomon now Kabuterimon called out.

With the massive forms of Kabuterimon and Sunflowmon now on the scene it was time to get ready to rumble. One of the Roachmon had a few nasty things to say to the twosome of Digimon. ''So you're the partners to these filthy humans! You both insult the name of Digimon!''

"Yeah insult it!'' Another Roachmon parroted.

"Frankly they don't even look scary. Not like what Woodmon thought.'' A Soulmon said next.

''Filthy human! I take showers every morning!'' Kanae hollered out.

''Don't you ever make fun of Kanae! She's a great friend! Probably one of the few I have here!'' Alex said defending Kanae just like she did for him. "Kabuterimon attack Sunflowmon cover him!

''Right!'' The giant beetle replied as the sunflower monster rallied behind him. Kabuterimon himself took on the trio of Roachmon while Sunflowmon battled the Soulmon.

''Here you little six legged garbage eating parasites have some of this! Electro Shocker!'' Tucking in his six limbs close to his body Kabuterimon began charging his counter offense, he began charging his Electro Shocker.

He then fired an electrical ball at them though only one was actually hit and destroyed as the other two took flight and shot by him. ''They're behind you Kabuterimon watch out!" While Alex cheered on Kabuterimon Kanae gave moral support to her animated sunflower.

Sunflowmon had one of the little ghoulies in her sights. "Sunshine Beam!'' Sunflowmon called out as she fired a ray of sunlight from all of her petals. Though the intended Soulmon target dashed away one was still obliterated by the beam attack.

By this point several students had been hearing the sounds of the battle and against all common sense for their safety they snuck off to go watch it. Kanae's friend's happened to drop in and instantly they recognized both of the larger fighting creatures. The sunflower from yesterday and the big blue beetle that was fighting around the airport of the same day. Which begged the question did all the monsters know each other?

Sensing another behind her Sunflowmon whirled around like a blur. ''Cactus Tail!'' Waving her tail-like stalk, Sunflowmon fired off the thorns which impacted another Soulmon. The injuries were fatal as data started leaking from its body. ''In yo face fool! Can you all gimme a what what!'' Sunflowmon called like a hipster.

''You'll never beat our great master Devimon... You'll all pay for this.'' The Soulmon muttered out as it reverted into data.

Sunflowmon was so busy acting like a big shot she didn't notice a Roachmon and Soulmon sneak up behind her however Kabuterimon did. "Electro Shocker!'' He yelled out as his electro blast wiped out of the offending viruses. "Double team them?" The beetle asked.

''Double team them.'' Sunflowmon said back as the sun's ray brightened as the morning fog started evaporating away. The giant sunflower used the extra solar power to supercharge herself just like last time. "Sunshine Beam!'' Sunflowmon called out again firing rays of sunlight from all of her petals.

There was one last Soulmon left as the beam missed but it instead wasn't even meant to hit the ghost. It was actually meant to blind him so he'd be ripe for attacking. By this point Kabuterimon had seized his chance to wipe out the last one and for all. "Time to end this! Beetle Horn Attack!" The blue bug went on the offensive by headbutting Soulmon with his huge nose horn.

''DAGH!" The ghost screamed out as its body blew up from the blow.

-later

The final battles were coming to a close as the college kids were just settling down to eat lunch. Their usual friends were a bit surprised to meet their new American classmates. Kohta then explained just who they were out of common courtesy. ''Um everyone these two are friends I made back when Kanae and I were little in New York City. I must've been ten and she was about six. Our dad was doing business in the park when the ball they were kicking happened to go by. Naturally since we didn't know anyone in New York sis figured it was worth a shot befriending them... and that's pretty much all there is to it. Sorry if it isn't that complicated.''

''So are you two doing any subject in particular?" Sora asked the both of them.

"Yeah good question. What classes you two taking? The same?'' Ken asked.

''Actually mechanical engineering. I'm a whiz with a wrench and a regular grease monkey.'' JP said gesturing over to his custom built truck.

Jason spoke up next on his chosen subject. ''Aeronautics for me.''

Things were indifferent as the group ate the lunches... yet again Lucy and Patamon err well Lucy mostly crafted a very impressive set of bento box lunches. Kohta and Yuka's college friends were very impressed by their still unseen house mate's culinary skills. However peace wouldn't last as a series of explosions rocked several areas of the campus as it seemed the Network was up to their usual evil tricks. The group which consisted of Ken, Sora, Tai, and Yamato were sent flying... which gave enough time for Yuka, Kohta, JP, and Jason to slip away into the chaos and investigate.

''Good we're clear let's go scan who's causing all this.'' Kohta said immediately acting like a leader while everybody else gave an affirmative set of grunts.

-begin Show Must Go On by Anthem

After sneaking away to one of the besieged parts of their campus the group or more accurately JP used his Digivice to scan for enemy Digimon. Then suddenly they found them. To be honest the creatures didn't look like evil creatures. In fact they resembled beige koalas with itty bitty horns, red bat wings but very sharp red clawed forelimbs, and a little devil tail. JP then scanned them. "Phascomon. A Dark Animal Digimon. Level Rookie and whose attribute is Virus. Whose name and design are derived from the Phascolarctos cinereus species of koala. At a glance, it seems harmless, but it is a fully-fledged Virus Digimon, and there have been many injuries reported from it leaping from the treetop attacking mercilessly."

It was then the Viruses noticed their human interlopers. There seemed to be about ten of them. One even spoke up. "Humans one of the most disgusting creature ever to walk the planet. Alright everybody on yer toes time to show Master Devimon what we can do.''

"Oh yeah well you gotta get past us first!" A familiar voice called out then emerging from the nearby bushes.

''Agumon?! How'd you guys get here?!'' Kohta called out in a half shocked tone seeing as how he didn't use the Digi-Port option from his Digivice. In fact all three of them were there Hagurumon and Hawkmon included.

The likes of Hagurumon then explained as bluntly as he could. ''We followed you guys to school hope yer not mad partner?'' The machine type asked referring to JP in particular.

Getting between the evil Digimon and Yuka the three boys were ready. ''Alright then you guys ready?'' The trio of teens call out simultaneously.

Their Digimon then take fighting postures up and ready to battle for the sake of humankind. Agumon roared out first. "I'm ready let's get it done.''

''Hawkmon ready!" Hawkmon mentioned next striking a fencer styled position.

"Hagurumon ready!" Hagurumon called out last but not least.

Getting their bearings back the rest of Kohta and Yuka's college friends also managed to sneak off looking for their friends. They found them facing off against what looked like ten demonic koalas. Plus the four had a trio of mini monsters... one a brass hued gear, a red bird, and a small orange dinosaur (itself from yesterday's attack).

One of the koalas spoke oddly enough. ''The three of you all of you are insults to the likes of Digimon serving as human pets. You've lost yer edge. Even if you destroy us master Devimon will get you in the end.'' This caught their longtime classmate friends by yet another surprise and they also had an epiphany... Kohta, Yuka, JP, and Jason must be somehow in the know about these 'monsters' aka 'Digimon'. And just who was Devimon?

Two of the evil Phascomon managed to corner Agumon one in front and another behind him. Again he tried reasoning with them hoping to avoid unnecessary acts of violence. "Doesn't have to go down like this Phascomon! Digimon and humans can live in peace together!''

''Oh drop dead ya human lover! Evil Snore!" One of the Phascomon yelled out emitting a sleep wave from his sleepy-looking eyes.

The likes of Agumon ducked as the sleep wave went right over him and hit the other Phascomon making it saw logs right then and there. Agumon leaped on the first Phascomon as smoke wafted from his nostrils. It was clear Phascomon figured out what he planned and fought to shake off Agumon. "Eat fire! Pepper Breath!"

The attack wiped out Phascomon completely Agumon whirled around slashing away at the other Phascomon. The attack was fatal as he fell over data leaking from his body. Agumon then struck a fighting posture. "Anyone else want some?!" Agumon growled as one Phascomon ran off like a coward.

The metallic Hagurumon faced off against against four of the offending viruses. One of the Phascomon called out an attack using its sharp claws containing paralyzing venom. ''Eucalyptus Claw!''

Hagurumon weaved out of the way of the clawing only for two of the other viruses to be on receiving end of the Eucalyptus Claw paralyzing them instantly. Using his Cog Crusher to finish them off. "Eat Cog Crusher chumps!'' Hagurumon said using the same attack on the other two.

Hawkmon used his Feather Strike to slice the offending virus upside its face while Agumon torched the other with his Pepper Breath. ''So long Draculas.'' Agumon hooted out in victory. Seeing the three had two enemies left they went all out on them. ''Alright everybody give 'em everything you got! Let 'em have it!''

Agumon unleashed his Pepper Breath, Hagurumon sent out his Cog Crusher, while Hawkmon threw his feather ornament from his head. Every attack connected. The three couldn't tell what attack finished the last Phascomon... was it by fire, by feather or by flying gears? Whatever the case was it had to wait as the three heard police sirens steadily getting louder the closer they got to the college.

Jason however had to mention this. ''Oh no the fuzz! We'd better get outta here!''

The whole group ran off to JP's truck, it was the closest one plus JP was the only who had actually used the student parking spaces. Yuks jumped into the driver's seat however JP had a few things to say. ''My truck my rules I'm drivin'. Nuf said.'' JP mentioned to Yuka to as everybody else hopped to JP's truck. Once everyone was buckled in the group tore outta the parking lot like the JP's trucks tailpipes were on fire. Their destination was simple... get back to the Inn and figure a way to strategically tackle this mess the Network put on their plates.

-Inn

That night at the In everyone was abuzz about the series of series of monster attacks kept increasing plus the damage to the high school and the campus meant they had to be shut down. Students were then given work to do at home until the repairs were finished. This also meant the group could come and go more now not being trapped in classes all day.

Even more odd was the fact most of the attacking Digimon kept mentioning a more powerful master orchestrating things behind the scenes going by the name 'Devimon'. ''All the Digimon kept saying there was some master called Devimon.'' Alex noted which Kohta and Jason gave an affirming nod of the head.

"Consider this everyone all our previous enemies must by subservient to this 'Devimon' guy. It all fits as the most powerful he must have amassed a good sizable army of his own itself a sub army from the Network. He probably rules his troops like some warlord.'' JP added.

This got the gears in Lucy's head turning over and over. She's heard of Devimon before... he was by far one of the most evil Digimon the Network had to unleash upon the human world. Just hearing about the atrocities from Swanmon that he'd committed were terrifying enough. "If he's really behind it then we'll be in for a real fight on our plates. Devimon is one of the strongest Champions of the Virus type. If we do fight him it won't be an easy battle. Years ago he nearly conquered File Island only to be beaten back.''

''Great endgame coming just great.'' Alex said nervously using gamer slang while looking out the window as night fell on the city.

''Renamon are you sure you're up for this?'' Mayu asked her partner hoping she'd make it through the future battles ok.

Oddly this time Renamon didn't answer. While not one to chi-chat over and over her silence meant even as powerful as the seven Digimon and partners were they'd never had to face an opponent like Devimon. Everyone silently agreed to swallow their pride and hope for the best. Trying times and battles were coming.

-that night

That night in the darkened night skies the evil Devimon watched the city lights from the heights of a tall skyscraper. He sneered as seeing his enemies were indeed powerful considering all of the minions alias troops he's lost in a short span of two days. But he still had several more to send if need be. "The Digidestined have finally taken action. Ah my little Digidestined what will you do? Me and my powerful generals will be watching closely.''

''I see Digidestined you are worthy adversaries worthy of my time to fight.'' Devimon sneered as he turned to his higher ups knowing the time was coming. ''Fugamon, Hyogamon, Ogremon are you ready? And inform Seadramon he'll be needed eventually.''

The three resembled a huge green ogre with horns carrying a spiky bone club. The second resembled an icy blue version of the first except with ice crystals for its shoulder spikes and held an ice club. The last was brown skinned with a tiger stripe outfit except his right arm guard. The one in the tiger skin outfit spoke first. "Yes master Devimon so you command so it shall be done. We the three Oni brothers will get it done.''

Ok so how was this chapter? Great? Too long? Anyways again our heroes keep hearing the name Devimon and figure he must be the mastermind behind all the attacks. But our heroes must ask themselves do they have what it takes to defeat pure evil? And yes readers I finally put Lucy's 'voice' into play as way of casting doubt on trust of her US house mates.

How's the pseudo soundtrack holding up? I'm keeping it in because the songs set the mood listen to them on Youtube while reading I think you'll like the atmosphere they create. I chose SUPER VOYAGER by Cyber Nation Network, Run Around by Jason Radford, and finally Biggest Dreamer by Kouji Wada because I wanted something fun but not too serious. SUPER VOYAGER was the first opening song of Beast Wars 2 a Japanese exclusive series aired between season one of Beast Wars and seasons two and three, in order to fill the gap until the later seasons could be dubbed into Japanese. It was followed by Beast Wars Neo. It'll also make appearances in several of my upcoming Transformer crossover stories.

Also of taking note of is are the songs Run Around by Jason Radford, and Biggest Dreamer by Kouji Wada. One was used in the US version of Advenute 02 and the Japanese Digimon Tamers version as the opening song. The inclusion of Anthem with their song 'Show Must Go On' was featured in one of the Devilman movies... which by coincidence Toei crafted a Devilman anime in the style of a superhero show rather than action horror. Fitting since Devimon is named and based off the 'devil'.

This has been writer TURP and I hope you folks are enjoying my crazed crossovers. Please look into Yokohama Night Monsters, Neon Genesis Nightwarriors, Power Rangers Dimension Legends, ELG The Series, Diclonius Goddess of Steel, and Maverick Hunter KLN to satisfy your craving for bizarre crossovers. This has been TURP "The Crossover Writer" and now slightly less insane phasing out people later.
