Episode 2: Team Unites P2
Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar the Last Air Bender, Ben 10, Digimon, Negima, Naruto, and Sailor Moon. I do own the main villain of the story Kamen Rider Chaos as well as Sailor Sun and I'm going to be doing each chapter as if it's an in canon episode otherwise if I do what I did in Shooting Star Warrior Pegasus, it maybe a long volume with the only exception being the prologue.
Aang, Ben, Hinata, Negi, Sailor Saturn and Zoe sat in the meeting room alone about to learn about each other. Everyone of them realized that that if they had any chance of succeeding in passing this Battle Test they needed to learn about each others abilities so that neither one would be caught off guard. Ben looked around scanning his soon to be teammates. He had a feeling that they would pass. Sure it would be tricky but still he had a good feeling they'd all pass. While he had some instances of teaming up it admittingly was with some other friendly alien or Plumber's kids, or his cousin Gwen or Kevin. Never had it been with other human heroes. Ben spoke first "Alright, we have only about two hours to get to the testing ground, but first the Sun Goddess asks us to get to know each other's abilities. I'll go first. Hello, my name is Ben Tennyson. I'm fifteen years old and my weapon is…" he pauses as he brings up his arm with the Omnitrix attached to his wrist "This the Omnitrix. With it, I can turn into any alien within seconds. Each alien has a different set of super powers, come in small shapes and sizes."
"Interesting!" Aang complimented "So you have a weapon which in theory can turn you into any alien that would be able to get you or any group out of any situation!"
"Exactly!" Ben admitted he looks at his Omnitrix "Of course, this watch has a mind on it's own as I'll turn it to the alien I want and it gives me a different one sometimes not suited for the job."
Zoe never heard of that "That must be frustrating. Hopefully that doesn't happen during the Battle Test."
"I'm resourceful enough" Ben told her "To be able to use perhaps the worse alien for the job and use it."
"Amazing gadget you have" Negi admitted never seeing or hearing a watch that could do all that.
"When I was ten I went on a summer vacation with Grandpa Max and my cousin Gwen when I encountered the Omnitrix. Obviously I was able to save the universe then, but I did put up the Omnitrix."
"Sounds similar to mine" Zoe admitted.
"Yet it's back on your hand" Hinata pointed out.
"It is" Ben agreed then he proceeded to tell them "After five years passed since then. Destiny called once more forcing me to don the Omnitrix once more to take up arms against the DNA Aliens and their Hybrid masters."
"So that's what those aliens are called" Sailor Saturn said crossing her arms.
"Indeed" Ben confirmed to her "So what is the rest of your stories?"
Zoe decided to speak first "My name is Zoe Orimoto. I'm fourteen years old."
She pauses as she brings out her Digivice "This Digivice is my weapon. It can scan corrupted data in Digimon and purify them to becoming good Digimon. It like Ben's Omnitrix can turn me into a Digimon."
"That must be amazing!" Ben said to her.
"It is" Zoe said "Unlike your Omnitrix though, I'm strictly limited to only two transformations with one stronger than the other if it is needed."
"That must be tough" Aang said to her.
"Why are you limited to two?" Negi asked.
"It's cause three years ago when I was eleven I made my first trip here in the Digital World. Sailor Sun wasn't around at that time, but I'm sure Ophanimon filled her in. Anyway I was chosen then as one of five humans from Earth whom were known as Digidestened and we traveled the Digital World defeating all matter of evil Digimon purifying the ones with corrupted data. During that time each of us gained each of the legendary Warriors that fought the evil Lucemon many years prior to when we arrived. I managed to get the Wind Spirit which strangely only had two of them. Yet in the end together we saved the Digital World. Although we did take quite a lot of defeats before we did… Darn those two Royal Knights!"
Hinata asked "What are these Royal Knights?"
Sailor Saturn answered "They are one of the most powerful Mega Level Digimon group. They have thirteen members. They usually take orders from Sailor Sun nowadays."
Zoe sighed "Let's hope we don't run into Crusadermon or Dynasmon two of the Royal Knights. They gave me and my Digidestened group plenty of trouble."
"Why would good Digimon like them fight you?" Aang asked "Weren't you both fighting for the same goal?"
"I don't fault your logic in that. For one would assume that we were" Zoe answered "As for why? Somehow they were working with Lucemon. A Demon Lord. Takuya and Koji had to handle them the most towards the end where they won even scanning their data so they could be purified."
"So we can assume their data was corrupted somehow" Negi said.
"Let's hope" Zoe said "Cause I ain't going to like engaging those two Royal Knights again. They tor this Digital World apart, bit by bit, data by data. All to free Lucemon."
"I hate to ask this but where were the other eleven Royal Knights?" Sailor Saturn asked.
"Don't know! Cause one would've thought they'd show to help!" Zoe admitted she sighed "It's been three years so I maybe a bit rusty when we take the test."
Ben smiled at her to get her confidence going "Hey, don't worry about it Zoe. I hadn't used the Omnitrix in five years and I can still fight. You might be a bit rusty but it'll come back to you real quickly. Why I easily beat Kevin while also dealing with the Forever Knights when I first got the Omnitrix back on and he's no joke."
"Thanks Ben!" Zoe said to him.
Aang went next "Hey everyone, I'm Aang and I'm the Avatar."
"Avatar?" Negi asked.
Aang answered "Where I come from there are people known as Benders. Four types of benders really, Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire. Naturally most Benders can only use one form of that bending. For example my friend Katara is a Water Bender so she can only use water as a weapon."
Negi wrote this down interested in learning more "Fascinating! I've never heard about this."
Aang continued "I'm myself was raised by peaceful Monks to be an Air Bender so I can well use the Air as an attack on an enemy."
"I see I'm not gonna be the only Wind user here" Zoe said.
"Oh, you don't even know the half of it" Aang told her with a smile on his face "While I do favor Air Bending. I'm the Avatar which means I'm the only person in the entire world that can use all four Elements."
"All four of them?!" Hinata asked shocked.
Aang nodded "Yep! Air, Water, Earth, and Fire!"
"That's some fire power" Ben admitted "Some of my aliens like Aang's part of the world wield only one element."
Aang explained "Too make a long story short, once I mastered Air Bending from the Air Nomads I found out about that I was the Avatar. Instead of accepting this I ran away then somehow got trapped in ice where my friends Katara and her brother Sokka found me."
"Why you run away?" Sailor Saturn asked.
"I ran mostly in shock and the realization of what my path was to do" Aang answered "Anyway as time went on it was revealed that the Fire Nation attacked every other elemental nation seeing as their bending was the superior bending. Before coming here I was with my group whom called ourselves Team Avatar deep within the Fire Nation plotting to stop them."
"Looks like your Fire Nation enemies are one of the enemies we have to fight once we pass the test."
"Seems to be" Aang admitted then he shook his head "How low will Fire Lord Ozai and Princess Azula his daughter go?"
"Apparently freeing Virusmon is their new low" Sailor Saturn answered sadly.
Sailor Saturn decided it was her turn to speak "Hello everyone. I didn't realize that when Sailor Sun sent me with Marcus and Thomas that I'd be seeing those of my new team. I'm Sailor Saturn. I'm thirteen years old and one of Ten Sailor Senshi. As you heard Sailor Sun say to me earlier, I'm the Sailor Senshi of Death, Destruction which many people understand. Yet I'm also rebirth."
"How much destruction are you carrying?" Ben asked.
Sailor Saturn answered "Enough power that I can destroy a single planet or take out a single invincible opponent."
Aang flinched "That's some power! Yet couldn't you use that on Virusmon?"
"Plus what's keeping you from destroying the Earth?" Zoe asked a bit intimidated about what she just learned.
Sailor Saturn answered "My powers when used at their maximum potential are a double edged sword."
There was silence among the group as Hinata then broke the silence "As in, if you use them at max you die?"
Sailor Saturn shook her head yes "Correct. If I use them at their max I will die."
"Have you…" Negi asked her.
"I have use my powers to lethal effect twice" Sailor Saturn told them "Once during the Silver Millennium which don't ask, I did destroy the outer kingdoms due to an enemy. Then in modern day I had to use it again this time against Pharaoh 90." she pauses closes her eyes "I had no choice. I used every inch of my powers once I re-awoken to do so. It was that or let Pharaoh 90 destroy or take over the Earth. Besides I wasn't supposed to be awoken unless that was happening."
"Then how are you still alive?" Ben asked.
"Sailor Moon" Sailor Saturn said "She used her whole power to save me from dying, as well as prevented my attack from destroying the Earth. Yet she didn't stop me from destroying Pharaoh 90. While I did temporarily die, my powers thanks to her turned me back into a baby. I maybe known for my death and destruction…but I'm also rebirth so I can heal the group. Plus as to Aang's question in couldn't I use it on Virusmon? Well if push come to shove, I would, but that may mean the destruction of the Digital World as well. Plus Sailor Sun's powers are more effective in combating Digimon. If she's wary of Virusmon this means even Virusmon has the power to over power her. Which means even with my powers, it's quite possible Virusmon might be able to survive my destructive powers so in the end I risk destroying the Digital World-"
"Or Earth" Zoe pointed out.
"Or both" Sailor Saturn corrected causing Zoe to slap her head "That's right cause even when the Digital World seemingly is secretive...It has an impact on the real world as well since the real world connection is Earth...That means Sailor Saturn might be able to destroy both worlds with her powers...Just as she said though only for Virusmon to tank it and survive it. I for one don't want to find out if she survives it or not. The risk is too high."
"Plus Sailor Moon isn't here" Negi said "So if Sailor Saturn were to use her attack only for Virusmon to be unaffected by it, she'd die for nothing."
Sailor Saturn once more nodded "Indeed, now I'm also here for combating the evil Sailor Galaxia."
"I'm assuming she's an evil Sailor Senshi" Aang said to her.
"She is!" Sailor Saturn admitted "She was attacking Tokyo, but like Sailor Sun said she disappeared never heard from yet."
Once more silence filled the air as Negi spoke "Hello everyone, I'm Negi Springfield. I'm ten years old and what I'm about to tell you is something that needs to be kept a secret."
After getting nods from the others Negi explained "I'm a mage."
"A spellcaster!" Aang said.
Negi smiled faintly "Yes. I was taught in England and was a considered a prodigy in learning magic so much that I graduated the academy when I was ten years old."
"Hey you must have talent!" Aang told him "Cause I'm considered a prodigy too at Air Bending. I got this blue arrow tattoo on my head as prove of it."
Negi shook his head yes then continued "I graduated and as an assignment for graduating I was ordered to go to Mahora Academy to forefill the rule as a teacher-"
"Boring job!" Ben yawned "They couldn't get you to become a cop or something heroic?"
Sailor Saturn smiled "You wouldn't say that if you knew Negi's classes are full of girls!"
"THEY ARE?!" Ben asked shocked at once.
Negi gave Sailor Saturn a smile she certain read his profile in the binder that contained him "Indeed, Mahora Academy is an all girls school. All students there are girls although there are adult men as teachers in the school. Anyway as to experience, I have fought many things such as a certain blond vampire mage that I hope I never encounter ever again as an enemy, a demon, several other spellcasters whom kidnapped a student of mine. The hardest fight though so far...Was another former student Chao."
"What ended up happening?" Hinata asked.
Negi explained the whole story on how Chao's plan was to reveal to the world that magic existed something that was bad. Ben couldn't get his head around it at least not entirely, but even he knew when something should be secret such as a mage whom needed to be hidden in plain sight.
"So we can assume a lot of your enemies you've encountered might be on the villain's side" Aang said to him.
"Indeed" Negi admitted "In addition to my magic which I'm in the process of learning it as much as I can for combat, I'm also taking another student's Kong-fu lessons so I know how to fight in hand-to-hand combat."
Now it was Hinata's turn. The Hyuga Heiress spoke "Everyone here has exciting adventures it seems. I'm Hinata Hyūga. I'm the heiress of my clan back in Konoha and am sixteen years old."
She looks at her teammates' eyes as she spoke "Konoha is a ninja village."
"So you're a kunoichi!" Negi said "Just like Kande-san!"
Hinata nodded "Yep! Now I'm only Chunin ranked but I'll do my best to prevent Virusmon from attacking."
She pauses "I don't have super powers like most of you, but I do have this."
The group watches as her eyes change showing veins in them.
"What is that?" Ben asked.
"The Byakugan" Hinata explained "My clan's kekkei genkai a trait that's passed down for many generations. With it basically I can see my opponent's insides like X-ray vision. Not only can I focus it on one target but a whole bunch of them in all angles for fifty meters."
"That's actually impressive!" Aang complimented her "You should be able to see ambushes way before they happen. That'll come in handy."
Zoe agreed "Wish we had something like that when I first came to the Digital World! That would've been so much better for the group of Digidestened that I was with."
Hinata showed a smile never thinking that she'd get complimented.
Sailor Saturn addressed her "It's a wonderful trait to have Hinata."
Hinata held up a bag of ninja tools "I don't have any fancy stories of what I went through. Although I do have these."
Aang gave her some advice "We all have stories we aren't proud of. I for one am looking to seeing your Byucugan in action."
Hinata blushed red as she thought of Naruto and almost fainted.
"Was it something I said?" Aang asked with Sailor Saturn catching Hinata "Are you okay?"
"S-S-S-Sorry" Hinata said shyly "Just the way you worded it Aang made me think of him…"
"Him?" Zoe inquired then she got it "Oh you like a boy!"
Hinata blushed redder "Uh, yeah! His name is...Naruto!"
She looked at the group "I remember when he fought my teammate Kiba in the Chunin Exams two years ago. Kiba would knock him down but he'd always get back up fighting. He even beat Kiba. Watching him gave me inspiration to fight on. I don't have much experience in fighting enemy ninja, but I know one thing. Naruto would fight alongside you guys if he was chosen by the Sun Goddess. If he'll fight, then so will I!"
"That's the spirit!" Ben told her.
Sailor Saturn checked the time "Well look at the time. It's almost time to go the testing sight!"
Ben took Sailor Saturn's advise getting up while looking at Zoe "Zoe, what can you tell us about our Battle Test opponents Cherubimon and Zhuqiaomon?"
Zoe answered "Both Cherubimon and Zhuqiaomon are Mega Level Digimon."
"Is that bad?" Aang asked her.
"Totally!" Zoe said "Digimon are rated as levels now assuming we pass the test, most of the enemy Digimon we fight are going to be Champion Level rank. That'll be the weakest level the enemy will send but they are still a threat. Next level is Ultimate which will be very hard to defeat but I'm sure I can handle those levels...But Mega...That's a whole different ball game. Mega Digimon are literally gods! They have unreal and unimaginable powers. Tackling one head on is problematic, but the very fact we're facing two Megas is going to make it the toughest test we ever took."
"You've faced two before in the those two Royal Knights" Sailor Saturn pointed out to her.
"Yeah, and they were the ones that defeated us time and time again!" Zoe admitted "Then again we were all putting in our efforts into Takuya whom could be EmperorGreymon or Koji whom could go into MagnaGarurumon into defeating them."
"Point is" Sailor Saturn told her "You were able to defeat them. Therefor it maybe tough but it's nothing you haven't faced."
Zoe actually smiled a bit "True, but we'll have to be on our toes and ready for anything. No telling what Cherubimon and Zhuqiaomon have in mind, but I have a feeling we aren't going to like it."
The group of six now begin to walk towards the testing grounds.
At the testing grounds Cherubimon, Zhuqiaomon watched as Thomas was thinking over their latest plan to test the Guardian Seekers. Being the smartest member of Data Squad did have it's upsides. Then again it had it's downsides ether. This was one of those moments where it was in between. He couldn't see where his skills would lead him. Still he listened to the request. He then spoke his question "So you Cherubimon and Zhuqiaomon want to do something to D.N.A Digivolve but something different altogether."
"That's correct" Cherubimon told him.
"Such technology that you asked me to help with hasn't been tested yet. DATS has been experimenting on such a creation of a new Digivice that can do it, but we haven't tested it yet. We have a prototype ready. We were warned by those working on it that using it before we tested it might result in the new Digivice self destructing even if it worked. Plus we were worried if the Sun Goddess would've even allowed the new Digivice project to come into effect. By the way Sun Goddess, how did you find out about it?"
Sailor Sun blushes as Gatomon answered "The Sun Goddess has her ways of finding out when Marcus is around."
Thomas saw the bright blush on Sailor Sun's face and knew it might've involved sex. While Marcus could keep a secret he probably wouldn't if Sailor Sun would allow him to have sex with her. He decided to leave it at that not needing to know the details, the red blush was a certain sign that he was on the right tract of confirming Gatomon's answer. He shook his head free getting back into the subject at hand but he couldn't help but sigh "At least say you used protection Sun Goddess."
Sailor Sun blushes redder "Of course I did! Although pretty soon Marcus and I should talk about having a baby...Probably not now because of this whole Virusmon thing. I'd rather not have to worry about the unborn baby possibly being targeted by her."
Gatomon spoke "It is part of as Sailor Senshi's life to pass down her genetics to a child that will take over for the mother when time comes. I mean Sailor Chibi-Moon is Sailor Moon's daughter in the future so it should be no surprise if the Sun Goddess gets a child too."
"Point taken" Thomas said easily changing the subject after all what happened during the couple's private time between the Sun Goddess and Marcus was between them "So the question is do we use the prototype and hope it doesn't self destruct...Or can the Sun Goddess and I use our Digivices linking them together merging on D.N.A Charges be enough for our current Digivices to do this hypothetical process they can do?"
"I'd say we could try doing the later" Sailor Sun told Thomas "That way if it works, the prototype could have some more development behind it."
Thomas agreed with her "Right! Now remember Cherubimon and Zhuqiaomon this is just a theory. We don't even know if such a process can work."
"Better to figure that out now than later" Cherubimon told him.
"Yeah, look to it was practice to if it does work" Zhuqiaomon said.
Thomas shook his head "Alright, we'll try it and hope for the best. Question is which of you would be the main Digimon? For this hypothetical development to work one of you need to be the base."
"I'm going to say use Cherubimon for it" Zhuqiaomon said "He already has a much more effective way to combat multiple enemies and nail them. My Phoenix Fire attack can be dodged after all."
"Alright then" Thomas said checking the time "It's almost time for the Battle Test. Do you two have everything?"
Sailor Sun held three bells "We do. Now there are two ways they can pass the test. We'll just have to see which way they do it."
"If they can do it" Zhuqiaomon grumbled.
"I'm sure they could" Sailor Sun told him "If they do will you two treat them with respect?"
"Not sure about Zhuqiaomon" Cherubimon answered "But you have my word Sun Goddess, I will. It's just that, this is new to the Digital World and while I mean no disrespect to you Sun Goddess as I trust you in it, I want to make sure that this is the right step. If it were getting the Zoe's group of Digidestened then I'd be on board with the idea, but this is the first time five of them aren't Digidestened… Can those non Digidestened defeat a Digimon? We all know the enemy will send Mega level Digimon to combat them eventually and only Zoe has a Digimon form to combat them."
"Plus while we have worked alongside Sailor Saturn" Zhuqiaomon said "She's been one of our closest allies, if they don't work together with her and Zoe things will turn out bad. Now as to your question Sun Goddess, I'll treat them with slight more respect, but not fully. Humans have a big bar to fill in the void for starting the D-Reaper Virus sending it here. Now if they do help to stop Virusmon or even find a single Guardian Digimon then I will give them the most respect."
"Slightly more is all I'm asking" Sailor Sun admitted.
Thomas turned towards her "Sun Goddess, those six will be here soon, we'd probably should start the process. That way when they arrive they'll see the new Digimon they will be fighting."
"Good idea" Sailor Sun said "Then I can give the new Digimon these three bells."
"Alright, here is what we'll do since we don't have the prototype" Thomas told her "Build up your D.N.A Charge as if you are Digivolving Gatomon straight to her Mega stage. I'll be doing the same with my end while building up shout Cherubimon your end, then at the same time I'll shout Zhuqiaomon's name then we'll put the Digivices together and shout the code word. I trust Marcus told you that too."
"He did" Gatomon confirmed then she smirked to tease the Sun Goddess "Then he rocked her world soon after telling her everything she wanted to know."
"GATOMON!" Sailor Sun shouts embarrassed at it "I thought we dropped that conversation!"
She shook her head free building up her D.N.A charge surrounding her body with yellow sunlight "Here goes nothing Thomas!"
Thomas was building up his own D.N.A Charge outlined with blue "Ready when you are!"
"Then let's try it!" Sailor Sun announced whipping out her Digivice "Cherubimon!"
Thomas whipped out his Digivice "Zhuqiaomon!"
The two put their Digivices together then shouted together "DIGI-FUSE!"
Two D.N.A charges shot out seemingly absorbing the two Digimon whipping them together then briefly caused them to disappear.
"If it was the sign it was going to work… That wasn't supposed to happen" Thomas said in a calculating tone.
"Give it time" Sailor Sun told him "As it makes perfect since for it to happen this time. For…"
"Sailor Sun we're here!" Ben shouted as he and the other guests arrived on the training field.
Thomas turned checking the time "Right on time!"
Zoe blinked "Where are Cherubimon and Zhuqiaomon?"
Marcus, Merukimon, and Yoshino with the rest of Sailor Sun's council of rulers appeared on the wall tops to watch the test happen. They too were confused on not seeing Cherubimon or Zhuqiaomon as they hadn't heard the conversation below. Then it happened, Cherubimon appeared but he had Zhuqiaomon's flames surrounding him and he looked like a bunny angel phoenix as they announced "HERE WE ARE!"
Zoe found herself "Part Cherubimon?"
"Part Zhuqiaomon!"
"Correct!" the new Digimon replied "I'm both Cherubimon and Zhuqiaomon. Call me Cherubimon Phoenix Mode!"
Looking at the new Digimon Sailor Sun and Thomas exchanged small smiles, the process worked at least that time. They looked at their Digivices which were now blackened as if burnt due to the overload.
"Well there goes those Digivices" Thomas muttered "They couldn't handle the overload."
Sailor Sun studied her burnt out Digivice sensing it was repairing itself slowly "It's only temporally Thomas but yeah. The process worked!"
She waved to the Digimon "Cherubimon Phoenix Mode!"
The Digimon turned as Sailor Sun threw the three bells. He caught them nodding towards her as if to give thanks to her. Above Marcus and Yoshino look bewildered with Yoshino asking out "Marcus...Could this be?"
Marcus amazingly answered "I think that's a yes Yoshi! That must be the theoretical Digi-Fuse!"
"How'd they do that without the prototype?" Yoshino asked him.
"Got me, I ain't no Nerdstein!"
"Too be fair" Merukimon told the two "Biomerge was considered a theory too, but it came out to be true."
Cherubimon Phoenix Mode turned to the group of testis. He looked them all over seeing their determined faces. Such determined faces that he almost had no heart to test them any further. Luckily the sheer willpower of Zhuqiaomon canceled out any signs of having them stop. Cherubimon let the group of testis watch wondering what was up. Even Zoe was looking in shock, she had never seen this before. Well technically she did with Lucemon changing forms twice, but this was something new. He now addresses the group "I see you all made it on time once more. I Cherubimon Phoenix Mode shall be your opponent in this Battle Test. There are two ways to pass this test. Which way it is depends on what you all decide or follow. The first of which…" he pauses revealing the three bells "Are to take these bells from me."
Hinata's mind was racing as she now spotted a large wooden poll shouting out of the ground "Sounds familiar now… One of us will be tied to that and automatically fail right?"
"You are catching on Hinata" Cherubimon Phoenix Mode told her mostly through Zhuqiaomon's grumpy voice.
"And we'll have to come at you with intent to kill" Hinata said.
"Uh, killing is against my code" Aang said to Ben.
"Then it'll be next to impossible to take the bells!" CherubimonPhoneix Mode said to him.
Ben looked at the Digimon that would be their opponent "Next to impossible? Maybe but we'll pass this test!"
"You will have till nightfall to get these bells" Cherubimon Phoenix Mode told the group of Testis "Or until nightfall to find out the second way of passing. We'll begin when you are ready as not all of you are ready to fight."
Ben and Zoe knew what he meant "We'd better transform. Ladies first! I'm curious to see what your transformations look like?"
Zoe giggled "Oh how gentleman like of you! Very well!"
She pulled out her Digivice built up an enormous amount of Data in her hand running it through her Digivice "Execute! Beast Spirit Evolution!"
The data erupted around her as she let loose a powerful roar as she entered her Beast Spirit form with her body briefly coming naked outlined with blue digital lighting. When the light show ended, Zoe wasn't human. She had turned into a beautiful pink harpy like Digimon. She announces her form "Zephyrmon!"
When she finished transforming she took a good look at herself through her reflection on the water "Even after three years I still look great!"
"For a Beast Spirit you look beautiful!" Aang commented to her.
"Thank you!"
Ben took a good look at the Digimon that they'd be fighting seeing him all fiery might make Big Chill a no factor, but there might be one alien that could do the job! Perhaps something big to soak up any attack. He activated his Omnitrix "Alright Cherubimon Phoenix Mode, it's time to meet…"
He turned it to Humungousaur and slapped the Omnitrix down on it. Green nanobites filled the air around Ben as he started transforming all together. When the light show ended, Ben was a huge alien dinosaur "HUMUNGOUSAUR!"
"Now that's just amazing!" Aang said looking at Ben and Zoe "So that's what Ben's Omnitrix and Zoe's Digivice look like when they are transforming!"
Cherubimon Phoenix Mode spoke "Alright now your test begins!"
Quickly just like Cherubimon would he vanished to give the testis time to set up their first attack.
"Aw man, he disappeared!" Negi complained.
"Not going to be a problem!" Ben said turning to Hinata "Right Hinata?"
Hinata understood "Right!"
She focuses in her chakra and forms her Byucugan seeing him "I see him! To the back of us!"
Zephyrmon heard and came right at him. Surprised that he had been spotted while thinking he was invisible he lets loose "Phoenix Barrage!"
He began breathing out several light flaming beams at her. Zephyrmon might've been rusty but she was able to avoid the attacks by twisting and turning avoiding the attacks then once close enough she shouts "Hurricane Gale!"
She gathers up powerful Hurricane winds and sends them out to capture him. The winds did strike him capturing him but they also sliced him up. Aang helped her winds by adding in his Wind Bending skills to make them even harder.
Negi saw his chance "Aang do you think you can put him onto the ground?"
"I'm sure I can, Zephyrmon? Ben?"
"I have some answers" Ben shouts as he gets towards Cherubimon Phoenix Mode leaping at him then just as he was recovering from the joint wind attacks. Cherubimon Phoenix Mode turns to see Ben and was about to attack when Zephyrmon taking Ben's unsaid hint flew into the air high above his head with her hands and feet glowing "Plasma Paws!"
He adjusted his head then managed to gain a spear in his hand "Phoenix Lightning Meteor!"
A giant flaming electrical meteor was flung downwards her at light speed. She had no way to dodge it and while she was using her attack. The two crossed paths but her opponent's attack was so much greater that it sent her screaming high into the air tumbling backwards slamming into the ground below on her back rubbing her dazed head "Not gonna try that again. That hurt!"
She then watched as Cherubimon Phoenix Mode's attention that had turned towards her now gave him up to Ben's huge fist that knocked him on the head sending him towards the ground where Negi was waiting for the Digimon whom looked bewildered at first as he hit the ground. Then a massive spell of light erupted trapping him.
"Got him!" Negi announced "Caught him in a Flytrap Spell! Once caught unless he has an ally there's no escape!"
"You underestimate a strength of a Digimon young mage! Especially a Mega Level like me!" Cherubimon Phoenix Mode warned.
His body began to glow and Zephyrmon had a feeling what was coming "Nuts! Someone get ready he's about to explode!"
"Correct" Cherubimon Phoenix Mode admitted "Time for a third attack I have. Phoenix Explosion!"
Aang hearing this caste a big boulder around them but it was too late by the time he had shifted the earth to make the boulder the opponent exploded in a fiery blast that engulfed the entire training area striking each and every single one of them. Cherubimon Phoenix Mode came at the downed heroes "Time to bombard you all Phoenix Barrage!"
He began unleashing a barrage of lightning fire beams at them. Sailor Saturn recovered quickly and leaped to her feet. She positioned herself on the ground then raised her glaive "Silent Wall!"
An unseen barrier appeared holding against the onslaught giving everyone time to recover and get to ether side of them.
"Okay Flytrap spell didn't work" Negi muttered "This should! Take a magic archer. Fifty Arrows of Lightning!"
He released fifty magical arrows full of lightning at Cherubimon Phoenix Mode. He heard and made as if to get away from them when both Ben and Zephyrmon grab onto him holding him down. Aang also increased his the intensity of the Air as he continued to Air Bend sensing what Ben and Zephyrmon had in mind. Due to Ben and Zephyrmon holding him down aided by Aang's incredible Air Bending skills he wasn't able to completely move to avoid the magical arrows which strike him. Only doing very little damage. Still this was just a fake for what Negi had in mind next as he warned "Ben, Zephyrmon leap away!"
The two heard then at the last possible second leap backwards just as Negi unleashed powerful blast of lightning upon Cherubimon Phoenix Mode. Now the magic arrows of lightning did slightly hurt but this spell was surprisingly very effective. Still it wasn't enough as Cherubimon Phoenix Mode grabbed Negi by his legs and toss him around like a ragdoll striking his head several times on the ground. He spotted Hinata rushing to help Negi then threw him at her. Hinata caught him but this gave him time to recover "Phoenix Lightning Meteor!"
Hinata gasped but remembered her Hyūga heritage, if her cousin Neji Hyūga could deflect range attacks with the Hyūga's technique, then so could she! She held a still seeing stars Negi telling him "Trust me Negi and don't let go!"
Negi might've been dazed but he heard her asking out "Hugh? Don't le-"
Before Negi could complete his question Hinata began to spin around in circles. Slowly at first then proceeded to spin faster and faster. Negi was certainly not expecting this and he was beginning to become sickened by the motion. As Hinata was spinning around she was generating a barrier around herself with Negi in her arms. The barrier met Cherubimon Phoenix Mode's attack and deflected it towards him "Nani?"
Hinata stopped spinning releasing Negi whom threw up on the ground. Hinata spoke "Secret of my clan! The Eight Trigram Rotation!"
Negi was still recovering from his sudden motion sickness as he pointed into the air "Neat technique of your clan but next time you preform that Hinata… Let me go first!"
"Sorry Negi" Hinata apologized watching him actually throw up on the ground.
"Everyone down!" Ben shouts as he saw the signs of Cherubimon Phoenix Mode starting to glow!
The group heard Ben's order and lower themselves onto the ground except for Sailor Saturn whom stood boldly up waiting for the moment. Ben looked at her "Didn't you hear me I said down?!"
She sent him a look as if to tell him she's got this. He briefly wondered about it then Cherubimon Phoenix Mode shouts "PHOENIX EXPLOSION!"
His exploding technique is preformed and the explosion roars over towards the ground that was lying down except for Sailor Saturn. Sailor Saturn raised her glaive "NOT THIS TIME! LET'S SEE YOU HANDLE THIS! MY SILENT WALL!"
She unleashes her unseen barrier covering the group. The explosion attack strikes the barrier and despite the power of a Mega Digimon it held without faltering."
Ben looked at her in amazement. Sure his cousin Gwen could produce barriers but Hybrids could easily destroy them! Yet Sailor Saturn's barrier held on the power of a Mega Digimon "Wow Sailor Saturn. Didn't know your barriers were that strong."
Hinata saw something "Sailor Saturn...Beneath-"
Sailor Saturn heard then saw flames coming from underneath her then Cherubimon Phoenix Mode shouts "Phoenix Wave!"
She had no defense to what happened next as Cherubimon Phoenix Mode shoots up from the ground surrounded by flames looking like a true phoenix. Sailor Saturn took the brunt force of the attack horribly burned screaming in pain. Then Cherubimon Phoenix Mode punched her towards the ground which she almost slammed into the ground back first. Luckily Aang slowed her decent down with his Air Bending skills saving her from a crash landing.
"Okay...He can attack from underground" She grunts still horribly burnt.
It is then Cherubimon Phoenix Mode continued his onslaught "Phoenix Barrage!"
This time the rest of the group was unprepared while thinking on what to do next as each and every single one of them get peppered by the attacks. Ben and Zephyrmon were the last two standing but even they couldn't tank this much, then after they took one of these fiery barrages to the head they go crashing to the ground. Despite being injured Aang summoned a rock barrier.
"This is bad!" Aang told them "At this rate we're going to lose!"
"So this is the power of a Mega" Ben muttered "Can't believe Zephyrmon's explanation about Megas was that spot on."
"I didn't say they were god like for nothing now! And again this is just one Mega-"
"Fused together" Hinata said.
Negi caught onto where she was getting at "Yeah they are fused…"
Hinata looked at her friends "Before they begun the test guys, they said there was two ways to pass. One was if we could take the bells which we've tried-"
"And that's a lot harder to do than it seems" Ben recalled.
"Precisely it's meant to be that way" Hinata explained "Perhaps if we split them into normal Cherubimon and Zhaquiomon that is how we'll pass."
"So we've gotta split them up?" Aang asked "How do we do that? We can't exactly dent him for long! Even Negi's whatever that spell was-"
"It was an unspoken version of the Axe of Lightning something any mage could do when using a magic archer type attack" Negi explained.
"Well we know the attack" Aang admitted "The question still remains if Negi's Axe of Lightning Spell didn't do as much damage as we'd like how can we split them up?"
Hinata spoke "During our brief fight with Cherubimon Phoenix Mode I managed to use my Byakugan and I saw what could be described as his Chakra network. If I can get even one blow to his most central chakra network, I believe I could theoretically cut his attack off...Possibly even start to split them up. Problem is I don't have much of a reach."
She looks at Ben "But you do!"
Ben had a feeling "True"
Negi was formulating a plan of attack "But you'll need him to stay in one place."
"Indeed!" Hinata agreed.
Negi looks at Aang and Zephyrmon "I think I know what we'll have to do! Since the three of us have do have wind based attacks perhaps we can use them to heavily trap him as well as blow Ben towards him."
"We'll have to have him stand still or weaken him so those winds can have greater effect" Aang suggested.
Sailor Saturn understood her part "I may have something to do that. One of my attacks!"
"Will it cause death to him?" Zephyrmon asked.
"As long as I don't drop my glaive, I won't destroy him! It will however still be able to weaken him!"
"That's all we can ask for" Ben told her.
She gave him a small smile "If separating them makes us pass somehow then I'll do what I can! This plan of Negi's should work if we all play our cards right."
The group gave each other a handshake. This plan of Negi's might be last plan to do this. Aang lets the boulder simply sink into the ground as if to give the group time to get into position. Cherubimon Phoenix Mode watches all over expecting the testis to be giving up. In the Digi-Fused Digimon's mind no matter what they testis were finished. Then he noticed the boulder disappear. Only for nearly no one at first to arrive.
"Time for-"
"Watch what you say!" came Sailor Saturn's reply.
He turned to see Sailor Saturn standing glaive in her hand "Bold Sailor Saturn but you alone can't accomplish the task to pass!"
She held her glaive gathering in power "Maybe but let's see how you take my Death Reborn Revolution!"
She completes the same attack she had used on Pharaoh 90 this time targeting him. Almost immediately the Digi-Fuse Digimon felt something off "What the? This zone of Negativity?!"
This began to weaken him as Sailor Saturn kept her attack up even lifting him off the ground. Then he sensed something turning his head to ether side, he saw Aang, Negi, and Zephyrmon.
Zephyrmon raised her hands "Here we go! Hurricane Gale!"
Aang Air Bended once more with Negi casting his best wind spell! All three wind attacks captured Cherubimon Phoenix Mode and due to Sailor Saturn's attack weakening him further wasn't able to get out of it "Impossible!"
Then he saw something heavy being blown towards him. His eyes widened as he saw it was Ben whose monstrous fist found it's mark dazing him. Then it seemed as Ben disappeared into the winds only for WHAM! A second fist struck him. Then once more he vanished then with a third WHAM, Ben's fist hit him again. Each time the fist struck him it dazed him. Cherubimon Phoenix Mode growled trying to overcome Sailor Saturn's constant draining attack and the wind attacks that now created a wind tunnel cage around him. Ben sails off once more this time Cherubimon Phoenix Mode saw him "I maybe weakened but I've still got power to take you out!"
As he was saying Ben prepared to throw Hinata whom had transformed her body into an actual baseball with the Transformation Jutsu. Just as he was far enough it was only then Ben starts whirling his arm containing the baseball that was Hinata to the point it was nearly invisible to the naked eye. HE winds it up one last time then shouts as he threw the baseball as if he were a baseball pitcher "THEN TRY COUNTERING MY FASTBALL!"
Cherubimon Phoenix Mode tried to build up his attack but wasn't expecting what happened next. As the baseball gets towards him close to his head where one of his data network was located, Hinata emerged from it then as he was still caught off guard with her Byuugan activated she gathers in all she could into both hands and slaps them forward. Her Gentle Fists struck hard, then at first nothing seemed to happen. Even Cherubimon Phoenix Mode smirked "Was that all you got? NOW TAKE A HALF POWERED PHOENIX EXPLOSION!"
He tries to build it up but couldn't "Nani?!"
He looked at Hinata whom grinned her plan worked then just like her cousin Negi would do time seemed to freeze as a Yin-Yang symbol appeared underneath her feet "You're in the area of my sixty-four trigram!" she then proceeded to jab him which each jab to a specific part of his body to completely nullify his ability to attack with his techniques "Two Palm, Four Palm, Eight Palm, Sixteen Palm, thirty-two palm...Sixty Four Palm Rotation!"
Then she nodded to her friends "NOW'S OUR CHANCE! Ben, Sailor Saturn, Zephyrmon!"
The three knew what to do. Sailor Saturn briefly stopped her attack "I'll start it off get into position Ben and Zephyrmon. I intend to send him flying!"
There was no need for her to say it for Ben and Zephyrmon were already in position with Zephyrmon flying overhead. Sailor Saturn raised her glaive shouting her attack "SILENT GLAIVE SURPRISE!"
Just as she announced the attack, enormous supply of destructive power built up then KABOOM! It caused a massive explosion that rocketed the entire battlefield while blowing the severely weakened Cherubimon Phoenix Mode into the air. Zephyrmon saw her chance "PLASMA PAWS!"
With her hands and feet glowing red she dived from the sky directly at Cherubimon Phoenix Mode's wings. AT the same time Ben leaped towards him then lashed out one final punch "HERE COMES THE FINAL BLOW!"
At the exact same time Zephyrmon's connects to her opponent's head blowing him down as Ben's mighty fist struck upward.
The mighty Digi-Fused Digimon fell backwards then two bright yellow lights shown as it reverted to an unconscious Cherubimon with Zhuqiaomon dazed but bewildered at what just happened. The group of testis now form up once again as Sailor Sun walks towards the arena announcing the results "Congratulations! You all pass!"
"Neither of us got the bells though" Negi told her.
"That was one way you could've passed the test" Sailor Sun told him "The second way was if you could somehow split Cherubimon Phoenix Mode back to Cherubimon and Zhuqiaomon then you also passed."
"Regardless" Gatomon explained "Ether pathway couldn't be achieved unless you all worked together as a team. Sure there were three bells but if you were to work together you should've gotten them. It was also meant to see which of you would push the others aside to achieve your goals."
"If that were to happen you would've failed!" Sailor Sun told them bluntly.
Hinata understood "In a way this Battle Test was similar to Kakashi-Sensei's bell test. Naruto told me one day that it was designed to do the same thing as in a ninjas world those that obey the law are scum but those that don't care for their teammates are lower than that."
"Precisely!" Sailor Sun said.
"Urgh" Cherubimon muttered "I got a massive headache...Just how were you able to defeat us?"
Hinata explained "My Bycugan allowed me to see your chakra networks. Or what I assumed were your Chakra networks. So I figured my gentle fist technique should be able to cancel out your ability to attack properly. I wouldn't have been able to do that alone so I teamed up with my teammates and followed Negi's plan!"
"Brilliant plan by the way" Cherubimon complimented Negi "Utilizing each of your skills to the best of your abilities."
"AH thanks Cherubimon!" Negi told him.
Cherubimon and Zhuqiaomon had to give the testis credit they passed the test.
"Well now" a voice sounded "Looks like I've arrived at a good time!"
The group look around then see him. He looked like strange creature. He looked like several creatures he had the head of a pony head, dragon tail, lion paw, and eagle claw as well as a green leg as well. The group of testis now had turned back to normal with Sailor Saturn reverting to her civilian form whom wore an all black outfit. Normally Ben wouldn't have been that shocked as he had seen lots of other aliens, but even this time he was in very deep shock! The confusion was worn off when Sailor Sun waved to him "Hey! I see you are right on time. Aang, Ben, Hinata, Hotaru, Negi, and Zoe, meet your mentor!"
"Him?!" was the group's confusion.
"Who is he?" Hotaru asked Sailor Sun.
"I can see my appearance has taken you all of guard" The creature said "Allow me to introduce myself. I am DISCORD SPIRIT OF DISHARMONY AND CHAOS! I normally live in the wonderful land of Equestria but my dear friend Fluttershy had talked me into agreeing being your mentor."
"Disharmony and Chaos?" Ben asked puzzled "Doesn't sound like a good mentor figure."
"Ah young Ben Tennyson so brave and set at though blinded."
Sailor Sun explained "Discord may have been a villain in the path but he's a reformed one. What better way to teach and help you out than one that has been on the path of evil. Besides...You're going to need him to help mentor you."
The others were quite confused but not Negi. He understood at once "It wouldn't be the first time I turned to someone evil to teach me. Something tells me that Discord might be a bit easier than her."
"Oh are we talking about Eva-chan Negi?"
"You know of her?!" Negi asked shocked.
"Oh Negi, Negi, Negi" Discord proclaimed "I know everything about all of you! Including all of your accomplishments, fears, and your defeats. There's very little I don't know about you all."
While he was still in shock, Ben saw Negi's point. He looked at Discord still a bit confused "May I ask you why you accepted the offer?"
Discord grinned "Of course you can ask me! I'll answer! Whenever my dear friend Fluttershy asks me to do a favor for her, I just can't say no to her. After all she is a very close friend of mine, in fact my very first friend I have ever had. I couldn't say no to her offer. Besides, it will do me good to mentor a group of heroes just so I can brag to Twilight that I lead mentored a team of heroes and heroines and triumphed over evil!"
Sailor Sun held back a smile giggled as she did find Discord very funny thinking to herself Why does it make so much sense that even though I barely know anything about Discord myself that I can see Discord doing that to Takuma Sparkle's adopted mother just to get on her nerves?
Discord turned to the group then looked at Sailor Sun then he promptly snapped his fingers and appeared in a generals outfit as he addressed her with a massive salute "Sun Goddess Ma'am! It is an honor to lead this team you cleverly picked. Old General Discord will see that this Virusmon never becomes a threat! By the laws of Chaos this is my degree!"
At this point all of the guests that Sailor Sun brought to the Digital World couldn't help but not burst out laughing at the image. Sure while Discord was serious in what he said, that didn't mean it wasn't funny. Soon everyone including Zhuqiaomon started laughing as well. While laughing Ben couldn't help but think to himself While I was unsure at first of seeing Discord as a mentor to us...I have a feeling we're going to be in for a lot of laughs.
Sailor Sun thanked Discord for his heroic speech while trying her hardest not to burst laughing harder than she already was "Thank you Discord. Now everyone you may all spend the night here in my castle. Then you all can begin your journey to find, and free the Guardian Digimon."
"Of course!"
With this the plan was in motion.
End of Chapter whoa big fight! Personally I loved the ending to this chapter. Next episode is Episode 3: The First Battle: After naming themselves the Guardian Seekers, the heroes and heroes mentored by Discord arrive on Earth to plot their first course.
A/N
Okay there is probably one question on everyone's mind and it's probably. WHY DID YOU PICK DISCORD?
Short answer is why not? The long answer is Kamen Rider Chaosbringer has the backings of all four Chaos Gods of the Warhammer universe. While we haven't seen Chaosbringer actually fight I can tell you he's incredibly strong! So who else would be able to help the Guardian Seekers out in fighting Chaos then having the Spirit of Disharmony and Chaos himself Discord? Besides the Guardian Seekers needed a very strong mentor and my friend Dragon Knight 15 can tell you. We talked about the mentor thing at first I thought about Ms. Frizzle with her Magic School bus to fill that role but turned it down. Next I thought of was the Jedi Master Yoda. Yet at the end of the day I thought of Discord and had a feeling that he'd be best suited for the situation. Please look to many fun conversations with the Guardian Seekers with their new mentor. ALSO MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
