Episode 12: Saving Paradox

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.

It was late a night when Vilgax had detected something. Like the obedient second-in-command. He had a Forever Knight and a Hybrid analyze where the source was coming from. Once they were able to pinpoint the source. Vilgax scanned the object seeing it was some sort of spacecraft. Now the scanner wasn't able to see whom were exactly on the ship but Vilgax was able to sense out a strange power coming from it. Almost like a time travel like. This was most likely what Kamen Rider Chaosbringer was expecting. Vilgax gave out the command "Keep track of that object! I'm going to inform Lord Chaosbringer!"

"Yes sir, General Vilgax sir!"

Vilgax left the room and found Kamen Rider Chaosbringer with Evangeline at his side waiting for him. Upon seeing him both Kamen Rider Chaosbringer's and Evangeline's eyes met Vilgax's. Vilgax walked over towards the two then bowed "Lord Chaosbringer...I've detected a strange single coming from an approaching ship!"

"Describe the feeling you've felt" Chaosbringer commanded.

"It felt time like my Lord" Vilgax said.

Chaosbringer rose "So...It maybe him. Vilgax...Send all spacecraft we have to engage that ship. They must cause the ship to crash then we'll need to capture the two people in it."
"Who might be on that ship that's making you like this?" Evangeline inquired.

"If I am right" Chaosbringer answered "Professor Paradox and Azumuth."

"Ah, the time traveling professor...And the creator of the Omnitrix" Vilgax snarled.

"Indeed" Chaosbringer said "Most likely they are here to perhaps give a clue to the Guardian Seekers. As villains as much as I'd hate to say this, we must ensure they don't get anywhere near a Guardian Digimon that easily."

"Your right on that one" Evangeline admitted.

Chaosbringer turned to Vilgax "Launch any spacecraft we have to engage that ship! We must get it to crash."

Vilgax saluted "As you command my lord!"

Within seconds all space fighters mainly from the D.N.A Alien and Hybrids were launched to intercept the ship. Once they located the spaceship they began opening fire on it. Two beings were on the ship when the assault happened. One of them began a mayday warning message as a few blasts had gotten the ship's engines which ultimately made the ship begin to start crashing.

The Guardian Seekers were unaware of what was going on during the midnight hours. Fortunately for the Guardian Seekers they wouldn't be getting the message late for a green car was pulling up to the Guardian Seeker's tent. While Discord was quite aware of the message and was about to get the Guardian Seekers to get up he wasn't exactly prepared to see the green car. Each of the Guardian Seekers were woken up by knocking at the tent's door. While the Guardian Seekers were each gathering around it was Hotaru that made it the front door first and was startled when she saw Gwen, and Kevin.

"Sorry for the rude awakening Hotaru" Kevin apologized "But we just got a wake-up call ourselves...Is Ben awake?"

"Barely" Ben muttered the answered.

"What gives?" Hotaru asked.

Gwen answered "Kevin and I just received a mayday call"

Ben blinked "You two should be able to handle it."

"Perhaps" Kevin admitted "But, the message mentioned you Ben."

"Me?"

Gwen nodded her head "Not just you but the Guardian Seekers...It's from Professor Paradox!"

"Who?" Aang, Hinata, Hotaru, Negi, and Zoe asked.

Ben snapped out of it "Professor Paradox? What's he want?"

Gwen shrugged "We didn't have time to hear the complete message, once we heard it was from him we came here straight away."

"Let's listen to it!" Ben suggested at once.

Gwen played the message and pretty soon Professor Paradox's voice was heard to all Guardian Seekers heard the man's voice "To Ben and his Guardian Seekers we have some information for you but the Nightmare Legion has attacked us. We are on a…"

Then there was silence as the sound of the ship crashing sounded.

"Remind me who is this Professor Paradox again?" Aang asked Ben.

Ben answered "How to put it more simply, he's a time traveling type of professor. Gwen, Kevin and I helped him out once. Now it seems he needs help again."

"What do you think that information he has that has gotten him attacked by Nightmare Legion?" Zoe asked.

"Something tells me it has to involve a Guardian Digimon" Negi answered her "Why else would they be attacking them?"

It was Kevin's turn to ask a question "What is the Nightmare Legion?"

Hotaru answered "It's what our united enemies call themselves. They are a new Warriors of Chaos group lead by Kamen Rider Chaosbringer."

"That sounds intimidating" Kevin admitted.

"Which was one of their goals" Discord spoke at last "The other was to pay homage to what faction raised him."

"Have you all fought this Chaosbringer?" Kevin asked.

"We have" Aang admitted "And we were all crushed!"

Ben groaned "Hate to admit that but he did beat us. He seemingly had an answer for everything we gave him."

"Now he's after Professor Paradox" Hotaru admitted

"Plus someone else" Aang added on.

Ben knew what was at stake "Guardian Seekers! We must get to that crashed sight! If Chaosbringer ordered the attack, then that means he knows why Professor Paradox was coming to Earth. Most likely he'll have all of his forces searching so we have to be ready."

Negi agreed "To go into the rescue mission and not expect him to be waiting for us while searching for them too would be a severe underestimation. That is something that must not happen especially if Chaosbringer is calling the shots!"

"Agreed" Hotaru admitted "If he catches us off guard while we are searching for Professor Paradox...We will be the ones to perhaps be defeated for good."

Ben activated his Omnitrix "Since this is a search and rescue mission...There is one or two aliens best suited for the job. Here comes one of them!"

He slapped his Omnitrix down causing green nanobites to fill the air, then when it ended Ben was "Jetray!"

Zoe wasn't about to take second chances if there was a chance they'd run into Chaosbringer she needed to at least be prepared so taking a chance in going to her strongest form was going to be the solution in her mind. She gathered a sphere of blue data into the palm of her hand then slides it through her Digivice "Execute...Beast Spirit Evolution...Zephrymon!"

Hotaru pulled out her transformation pin and shouts "Saturn, Planet Power...Make up!"

Within seconds she too transforms into Sailor Saturn.

"Alright now" Ben said "As long as everyone is ready. We need to move out! Gwen, Kevin you may join us as reinforcements but keep you eyes pealed for Chaosbringer. Trust me that Kamen Rider is bad news."

"Oh I'll keep that in mind" Gwen promised.

"Oh, I'll keep my eyes pealed for Chaosbringer" Kevin promised "Although no promises that I'll keep away from him if he approaches me."

"Heed our warning" Sailor Saturn warned him "Chaosbringer might look like an easy foe but you take him easy at your own peril. He beat all of us Guardian Seekers with ease."

"And you are the Sailor Senshi of Death, Destruction and rebirth" Gwen said understanding the situation completely "Plus, as we know Ben's not easily beat like that...Neither should Zephrymon."

"Wasn't exactly Zephrymon at the time" Zephrymon admitted "But point taken is you are on the right track."

"Yet you are still alive to battle him again" Kevin pointed out.

"Thanks to Discord showing up to bail us out" Negi admitted.

Now the reality hit Kevin "Wait...Are you all saying that this Chaosbringer was able to counter everything you have and Discord was the only one that prevented him from wiping you out?"

"Now you're getting it" Aang confirmed.

"Plus as we've learned from Discord about him" Zoe added on "While we lost to Chaosbringer that time...He was at his basic...Meaning he has four or five other forms and he beat us at his basic form with ease."

"Don't forget he has all four Chaos Gods backing him up" Sailor Saturn finished.

"Four Chaos Gods?!" Kevin and Gwen asked "That can't be good!"

"It isn't for humanity if Chaosbringer is successful" Discord confirmed "Cause even if Ben and the other Guardian Seekers beat him...That won't solve the problem that the Chaos Gods are on Earth. In fact they are currently playing their game in the lands of Becon Academy."

"Chaosbringer has out played you too?" Kevin blinked never hearing of an enemy that strong and smart before as usually villains were one or the other ether too strong and not very smart or smart and not very strong themselves.

"Twice so far" Ben answered grimly "Mainly through distractions…"

"Hard to imagine such a villain like him exists" Kevin admitted now understanding "At this rate as you warned it is best to try to avoid him."

"Although it's hardly like he would target Gwen and Kevin" Discord told the Guardian Seekers "Remember one thing of Chaosbringer is that he won't actively seek out what he deems as weaker opponents. So if he believes that Gwen or Kevin isn't worth his time, he himself won't target them. He's more to target you Guardian Seekers and even if he's sure you are worth his attention."

"Harsh" Kevin muttered hating to be considered as weak in a villain's eyes.

"But true" Negi stated.

"Okay let's head out!" Ben commanded.

The Guardian Seekers with Gwen and Kevin walk out to see if they could find Professor Paradox.

In the villain's castle. Vilgax had just reported to Chaosbringer that their space fighters had successfully caused the spaceship they were hunting to crash. Chaosbringer was studying the site of the crash. Once he identified the crash site he had all of his forces waiting his next order. Chaosbringer turned to address them "Alright everyone! Your mission is to capture those two and bring them to the castle. The Guardian Seekers are aware so expect them to be around the area."

"Yes sir!" was the response.

The Nightmare Legion starts to wander off in search of their targets. Vilgax turned to Chaosbringer "You do realize that you aren't sending anyone of us commanders to lead them."

"I know" Chaosbringer admitted "Even if they fail to capture those two, it's not the end of the world. The point is to make the Guardian Seekers realize we aren't going to let them get clues that easily. Besides...Piedmon!"

Piedmon overheard his name "You called my Lord?"

Chaosbringer turned to him "With Devimon still recovering from it While the Guardian Seekers will be looking for our targets as well, I'd like you to go in and battle them."

Piedmon smirked evilly "Oh, I get to go ahead and test their mental"

"They won't be a match to Piedmon" Evangeline told Chaosbringer.

Chaosbringer nodded "I'm quite aware of that. At the same time though once more I want to test their commitment in rescuing whom we are after."
Evangeline smirked "Even if they somehow get to them...It's still a measuring stick."

"Indeed" Chaosbringer said "Sure if they somehow save those two they may gain what they seek the first clue, but we'll be onto them carefully and waiting for them to make a move. It's them that'll be on the defensive."

Piedmon saluted "Very well, I shall make my debut to them! Ta-ta now!"

Piedmon left to confront the Guardian Seekers. Chaosbringer and Evangeline decide to stay back in order to wait and see what would happen next.

The Guardian Seekers arrived at the closest location to where Gwen and Kevin received the transmission. Hinata scanned the area looking for the spaceship. There were traces that some sort of spacecraft was attacked. As she was searching they did see that the enemy was indeed in the area. While seeing several enemies was nothing new to Gwen and Kevin, the amount of of enemies made them realize the whole gravity of the situation. Kevin was bewildered at the several daemons that were searching the area "Okay...I recognize D.N.A Aliens, Forever Knights, as well as Hybrids, but...Are those Demons?"

Negi answered "Yes, those are demons, but as Discord puts it the term is Daemons...Basically the same idea...However those Daemons aren't the normal type of Demons we'd see on Earth...They are from Chaosbringer's home world...More specifically they are Daemons belonging to the four Chaos Gods."

"Which makes them even more deadly" Sailor Saturn admitted "Each of those daemons have some sort of benefit over any other type of enemy you've faced. Those pink daemons for example are Pink Horrors of Tzeentch and many Tzeentch Daemons have a barrier making them difficult to damage when it's up. Khrone daemons have extra physical resistance as well as magic resistance."

"Magic Resistance?" Gwen asked raising an eye brawl wondering how that even worked.

"We have a solution to those" Aang said looking at Hinata "Let Hinata handle the Khrone Daemons! Her Gentle Fist is able to work against them extremely well."

"Stay away from the sickly yellow green ones" Ben said "As those ones are Nurgle Daemons...Those ones are ones that can easily cast plagues on you and make you deathly sick."

"Something tells me Nurgle is going to be the Chaos God if they fully make Earth a new playground that I'm not going to enjoy facing if he and his followers can do that" Gwen said sweating.

"The Daemons of Slaanesh are faster than the other three" Ben told his cousin and Kevin "Plus they seem to have a strong seduction ability to make you fight for them."

"Oh…" Kevin muttered recalling the time he got seduced by a spellcaster "That's never a good thing. Hopefully I get to take those ones down cause I hate being seduced that way!"

"Orders Ben?" Zephyrmon asked him.

Ben studied the scene "They are looking everywhere we'd be looking at. This complicates things. Guardian Seekers! Split up! Zephyrmon you and I search from the sky! Negi stick with Sailor Saturn and Gwen take the front side...Aang, Hinata, and Kevin...Take the back root. With luck we can thin out the enemy numbers and we'll try to emerge in the middle where the ship may have crashed."

Everyone agreed to do this as they split up. Ben and Zephyrmon searched the skies scanning the ground. Ben fired beams out of his eyes at any target on the ground. While Zephrymon unleashed her Hurricane Gale attacks to wipe enemies off their feet or pin them. The Forever Knights took aim and fired at the two. Both Ben and Zoe flew out of the way causing the attacks to miss. The two returned attacks on their enemies.

"Great work Zephyrmon!" Ben told her.

"Thanks but we're not out of the woods yet! Something tells me that this is just the beginning!" Zephyrmon said as they flew onward.

Gwen, Negi, and Sailor Saturn were indeed attacking from the front. Both Gwen and Negi unleashed several magical projectiles at any opponents while Sailor Saturn used her glaive causing knocks outs in some human targets but death and destruction among the Daemon ones. Surprisingly Gwen and Kevin understood why against fowl creatures there was only one option. Still they had a long way to go as there were more enemies to deal with. Too make it worse some of the enemies were indeed Daemons of Khorne without Hinata's quick aide these would be the most difficult.

Gwen tried to use her pink blasts to strike more Forever Knights. Negi cast a few more magic arrows of wind then unleashed an Axe of Lightning taking out a lot more enemies. Sailor Saturn blocks several blasts with Silent Wall. Then sliced more down.

"I knew we were outnumbered but these Daemons are actually more terrifying then most other soldiers" Gwen muttered.

"That is what makes these Daemon even more deadlier!" Sailor Saturn warned her "Their ability to spread terror and fear into their opponents makes them an extra deadly in combat. Show your fear and they'll feast on it and use it to deal physiological damage to you. It is something that Daemons of Chaos are reknown as!"

Gwen understood "Then let's continue on!"

Negi agreed "Indeed, but let's also keep in mind to keep away from the Spawn of Nurgle that are approaching!"

"Yeah" Gwen admitted "Don't want them to cast a plague on me."

The group of heroes continue to fight the enemy from the front.

Aang, Hinata, and Kevin were making progress from the back. Like Gwen, Kevin was feeling the Daemons of Chaos preying on his psyche. He was quick to realize that this was why Daemons of Chaos were much more harder to kill or defeat. You literally had to be emotionally stable to defeat them. Aang was giving both Hinata and Kevin cover by using all his bending skills against the enemy forces. In return both Hinata and Kevin fought hard in close combat against the enemy numbers.

Aang froze several Forever Knights, D.N.A Aliens and even a Hybrid commander but the Pink Horrors of Tzeentch that they were near easily withstood the attack with ease. Even the freezing effect was negating.

"That's some barrier" Kevin noted out loud "Almost on par of Sailor Saturn's."

"Actually I'd call it a mix between Sailor Saturn's barrier and Gwen's" Hinata admitted "As while our attacks will weaken the barrier leaving them open...They can regenerate that barrier."

"Then we'll bash them into submission!" Kevin suggested.

The three fight against the massive swarms of enemies.

A man in lab coat had indeed escaped from the wreckage. At his side was a small gray alien. The two were certain that Ben got the message by now. By the looks of things though Ben wouldn't be getting to them soon having to battle enemies. It was thanks to the man that the two were able to avoid capture at least for so long. That was until Piedmon appeared silently and like a cat waited to pounce. The two weren't able to see him or even seemed to detect the Digimon until it was too late. Before the two could react a single white cloth covered them causing them to completely disappear. Piedmon stood over the cloth, removed it then quickly retrieved the key chain figurines of the two he had thrown the cloth onto then hid them. Now he wasn't totally alarmed at first but once he saw what the gray alien held in his hand a map of somekind made him feel a bit uneasy. Was this the reason why Chaosbringer ordered the attack? If so Piedmon wasn't going to make it easy for the Guardian Seekers to gain the map. In fact as the fighting continued on Piedmon turned his attention to the Guardian Seekers whom were making gains. Piedmon smirked grabbing his swords and silently speaking out in a voice so silent that no one not even the closest Forever Knight or D.N.A Alien heard him "Trump Swords!"

With this he threw his swords at all the Guardian Seekers. From the sky Ben and Zephrymon weren't expecting it and the two were slashed by at first three swords. Both took two speedy strikes to their arms then a third barely scrapped their necks! Then a fourth got the two right in their chests! The two were overwhelmed as they started to fall to the ground. Gwen saw the two falling and rushed forward alongside Negi and Sailor Saturn. Aang, Hinata and Kevin saw this too and abandoned the attack to see if both Ben and Zephyrmon were okay. Then the remaining heroes and heroines were struck by other speedy swords just as the group got together. The six heroines and heronies grunted in terrible pain just as Ben and Zephyrmon fell onto them creating a big dust cloud!

"Okay…" Ben muttered as the group tried to get up "What just happened?"

"A surprise attack that's what!" Negi muttered "A surprise attack that involved several high flying swords!"

Everyone of the Guardian Seekers here laughter then all look forward to see him. Now that the clown Digimon had them in his sights he grinned wickedly "Now, now, did you all have a nice trip?"

The Guardian Seekers were all starting to get onto their feet. Gwen and Kevin looked confused with Gwen asking "Who is he?"

"Oh, not sure" Kevin admitted touching the ground to absorb it all over him "But all he looks like is a jester from the medieval period! One that's going down!"

Before Zephrymon could raise a warning on whom they were facing Kevin charged Piedmon trying to lash out a punch but Piedmon took the time to toy with him by dodging the attack. This continued for about six more attempts of Kevin trying to land that one blow in. Every time he tried his opponent easily dodged that was until Piedmon grew board catching Kevin's fists in one hand "Well that was fun boy! Now here's something from me! Clown Trick!"

Without haste Piedmon seemingly blasted Kevin with three circular waves. Surprisingly while he was covered head to toe with the ground it was completely useless to defend himself against the attack and Kevin is sent high into the air. Piedmon took aim with two swords "Trump Swords!"

The two swords are thrown at Kevin with impossible speeds. The two swords strike Kevin as he now lands on the ground in major pain "Okay...Did I really just get my ass handed to me by a clown?"

"That's no ordinary clown" Zephrymon told him then she frowned "That's Piedmon! Possibly the worse clown you could ever come across! The strongest of the four Digimon that called themselves the Dark Masters and...You really didn't stand a chance against him...He's a Mega Digimon."

"Mega?" Gwen asked Zephrymon "Could you take him?"

"Not easily" Zephrymon admitted hiding a nervous sweat drop "I'm an Ultimate Level...That's one stage below Mega...One-on-One not even I stand a chance against a Mega. Especially one that's on Piedmon's powers."

"Ah...This is just great" Ben muttered dryly and sarcastically looking at Piedmon "Just what I wanted to see him again…"

"I see you remember me from last time!" Piedmon admitted to the Guardian Seekers in a somewhat flattered tone.

"How can we forget?" Negi asked "You saved Devimon and threw your sharp swords at us as a warning? Like we'd forget nearly getting beaten by you that time."

"What do you want Piedmon?" Sailor Saturn demanded.

Piedmon smirked "Ah, nice to see that you Sailor Saturn are the Sun Goddess's loyal ally and friend, what a shame really. All that power of yours is wasted serving others like you. Anyway...As to what I want? It's all what Lord Chaosbringer wants and that's to give you Guardian Seekers a hard time!"

"So he was aware that the ship he shot down had" Hinata muttered.

Piedmon smirked "You bet! He was quite aware of it's passengers and while he wants you Guardian Seekers to improve he's not going to let you figure out why he was after them."

"All we have to do is get passed you and to the spaceship that crashed" Ben said "I can do that!"

Hinata saw the wrecked spacecraft seeing no life signs "Uh...Ben...That would be wasting time...I don't see any life signs."

"What?" Gwen asked "Are you saying that Professor Paradox and the other being are dead?"

"Negative" Hinata said "I'm not seeing any bodies at all. Nor do I see any traces of them…"

"Are they all captured?" Aang asked.

Piedmon smirked holding up the key chain forms "Looking for someone Guardian Seekers?!"

"There's my answer" Aang muttered as Gwen and Kevin looked horrified "Piedmon got to them while we were fighting!"

"HOW'D HE TURN PROFESSOR PARADOX AND AZUMUTH INTO KEY CHAINS?!" Gwen and Kevin asked.

Sailor Saturn answered instead of Zephrymon recalling she faced Piedmon before when the Sun Goddess regained her memories "Zephrymon isn't wrong about Piedmon being the toughest Dark Master. There's a major reason for it, however...Piedmon may look like a normal clown but, he has these white cloths that he can throw at you. If you are touched by them...You'll be instantly formed into a key chain!"

"That's disturbing!" Kevin muttered.

Piedmon gave the Guardian Seekers and their two allies an ultimatum "If you want them back you're gonna have to figure out a way to defeat me!"

"Or take them from him" Negi muttered.

"We've beat Churibmon Phoenix Mode" Ben reminded "If we can do that we can do it again! We aren't leaving till we do!"

"For Professor Paradox and Azumuth" Negi agreed "We're going to have to do so! Besides it looks like Azumuth is holding something like a map!"

"You're right" Hinata admitted "So let's see what we can do!"

Piedmon smirked "Then come at me! Show me your resolve! Be warned though I won't be holding back!"

At this Forever Knights and D.N.A Aliens crowd around them.

"We've got them to deal with!" Kevin said then he turned to Ben "Ben, let me and Gwen handle these guys! You and the Guardian Seekers focus on saving Professor Paradox and Azumuth!"

"Thanks Kevin!" Ben told him then he turned his attention to Piedmon "Alright Guardian Seekers here we go!"

Piedmon readied himself "Then come at me if you dare!"

"I recommend not charging him from the front like Kevin did" Zephrymon told Ben "Otherwise we'd be capped!"

"Plus he already got us good with his Trump Sword attack" Hinata added on.

Ben knew they had a point, attacking from the front was suicidal...Especially when there was a level disadvantage in Zephyrmon. She already took a decent hit and most likely wouldn't last too much longer depending on the hit she took. He thought of something "I believe I have a plan!"

"The same one that we used on Cheribimon?" Negi asked.

"Tempting" Ben admitted "But he's too fast to be caught off guard by it…"

He looks at Sailor Saturn and Hinata whom began to understand what to do. It involved a two part destraction. He spoke to Zephrymon "Let's try to swarm around him together counter clock wise and sometimes clockwise continue to gain speed."

Zephrymon had a feeling where this was leading to attempt to get Piedmon dizzy or disorinate him "I'm beginning to see it!"

Ben now looked at Aang and Negi "You two will know you part. We have to be careful when dealing with him till Zephrymon figures out a way to become Mega herself."

"That would make this about even compared to levels… Even then we'd be in trouble" Zephrymon muttered recalling how WarGraymon and MetalGarurumon were completely owned the first time they met Piedmon.

Ben turned to Hinata and Sailor Saturn giving them a nod as if to silently tell them their part. The girls nodded back, while the other four members of their team did whatever they could to distract Piedmon the two girls would go in and attempt to take the key chains away. Once then they'd have to make a getaway. Without any words said, both Hinata and Sailor Saturn seem to vanish.

Ben and Zephrymon approach Piedmon from the sky. The clown chuckled "My, my, coming at me from the sky are we? Whatever shall I do?"

Taking this time to issue out what he thought was mocking banter Ben replied "You could make it easier on yourself and just give us the key chains!"

Piedmon smirked "Oh I know what to do with you two! Take a Clown Trick!"

Piedmon sent two flaming hoops at Ben and Zephrymon. Ben and Zephrymon attempt to seperate but Zephrymon thought quickly and flew to intercept the hoops for Ben. Upon attempting to fly through the hoops the hoops close in on her trapping her and burning her causing her to scream.

"Zephrymon!" Ben called to her as she falls to the ground still in the flaming hoops.

"Don't worry about me!" she called up to him "I'm fine for now!"

Ben flew closer to Piedmon "Neat trick! Yet I'm still here!"

He fired two green laser beams from his eyes at Piedmon. Piedmon effortlessly avoids them then shouts "Trump Swords!"

Amazingly despite how fast the swords were flung at him Ben avoided the attack. He eyed Piedmon shouting "HA! You missed me!"

"Did I?!" Piedmon asked.

Ben blinked then briefly watched as Zephrymon broke free of the hoops only to take four swords to strike her in the wings cutting them off causing her to fall right onto the ground unable to fly "OUCH!"

While Ben had hoped to have the two distract him the moment he took his eyes off Piedmon to check on what was going on did he run right smack into a wall due to him not hearing Piedmon announce another Clown Trick was coming "What the?"

Piedmon smirked as he managed to karate chop Ben right back at Zephrymon "You should be more worried about yourself alien boy!"

Despite their injuries both managed to get up with Ben looking at Zephrymon's wings "You might have to go Kazemon...Without wings we can't pull off our part."

Zephrymon bit her lip Ben was right with her wings cut off completely she couldn't fly "Alright cover me then!"

Ben flies blasting at Piedmon to give Zephyrmon cover. Zephrymon glows blue with data "Zephrymon...Slide Evolution...Kazemon!"

Once she was Kazemon she took to the skies once more helping Ben. Piedmon saw them "Don't you ever learn? Oh and Kazemon you are twice as weaker than I am...You can't even hope to beat me as a Champion!"

He watches as Ben and Kazemon swarm around him as they were now putting their part of the distraction "I don't have to beat you Piedmon!"

She raised her hands just as Ben took aim shouting "Hurricane Wave!"

Kazemon unleashed her attack at Piedmon just as Ben unleashed his own laser beams. The clown was able to easily avoid the attack by leaping over the wind attack, flipped over Ben's laser beams drew two swords then plunged the swords into the chests of his opponents then shouts "Clown Trick!"

Once more the attack sends three waves at them sending them crashing into the ground with Ben muttering "Didn't I mention I hate clowns?"

"You could stand of mentioning it more when we fight Piedmon" Kazemon muttered dryly.

Piedmon was about to earn a knock out to the two when he heard the sound of water coming at him. He smirked as he avoided fifty Magic Arrows of Light just as if he were dealing with WarGreymon the first time he met. He then karate chops the water wave much to the surprise of Aang whom was left jaw dropping at what he witnessed.

Piedmon took his opponent's surprise to his advantage grabbing his swords he shouts "Trump Swords!"

Both Aang and Negi panic at this. Aang tries to summon up a rock wall in fact he does but the rock wall is completely shattered and doesn't stop the momentum causing the swords to strike both Avatar and mage. The two fall down grunting.

Gwen and Kevin were amazingly dealing with the Forever Knights and D.N.A Aliens then watched horrified as Piedmon was actually wrecking the Guardian Seekers with what to their eyes looked like minimal effort. True the clown said he wasn't holding back but that didn't mean he was putting in an honest effort almost like toying with his opponents.

"Oh, Ben's never going to get over his fear and hate of clowns now" Kevin muttered.

"They just have to get the key chains off him. Then we can escape!" Gwen told him "We just need to make sure they have a getaway!"

"Right"

Piedmon watches the Guardian Seekers that were damaged an evil smirk was on his face. He continued to face off against the four but even all four of them knew that this was a contest they couldn't completely win against Piedmon. Then again this wasn't supposed to be a battle they could win outright. In a way this distraction was working just not in the way Ben had hoped. When it looked like Piedmon was going to finish them off, Sailor Saturn makes her way clashing her glaive on his swords "Ah, Sailor Saturn...Ready to die too? You realize you don't have the Sun Goddess to back you up!"

"That's where you are wrong!" Sailor Saturn snapped "Just because she's not here physically doesn't mean she isn't in my heart and soul!"

She proceeded to try to engage in a sword/glaive fight with the clown. Sadly despite her best even Sailor Saturn wasn't a match for Piedmon whom easily beats her down soon standing over her swords at her neck "Ready to be finished?"

"Go ahead and try!" Sailor Saturn told him.

Piedmon swiped Sailor Saturn's head off only for the body to explode in a puff of smoke and a piece of wood was placed "Hugh?"

The real Sailor Saturn came at his back causing him to turn towards her to deal with her then Hinata emerged from a hole in the ground. She attempts to strike him but he easily evades her strikes. Then she grabbed onto his back "Go for it Sailor Saturn!"

Piedmon smirks and punched Hinata in the face dazing her then kicked her so she'd crash into her four friends. This was all Sailor Saturn needed with all the strength left she took aim with her glaive then slashed at his waste. Piedmon managed to avoid the attack but her glaive still got to where the key chains were ripping them free. Quickly with the key chains on her glaive's tip she brings it back "Got them!"

Piedmon watches as The Guardian Seekers get up "Ah you got my key chain collection. Oh well. In the end I intend to make all of you key chains!"

As he was saying this he brings up a white cloth. Hinata thought fast and through a flash bomb to blind Piedmon. The light explosion worked as she was hoping it would do. It blinded them and the Guardian Seekers managed to escape only because Piedmon allowed them too. Piedmon watches them leave "Ah, you Guardian Seekers weren't a match to me. At least I gave you a valient effort!"

Piedmon turned to see Chaosbringer "Sorry I let them get that map my Lord."

"Don't be sorry" Chaosbringer said "You've done quite well in showing them how dangerous of an opponent you are. They only were victorous due to that last ditched effort from Sailor Saturn removing those key chains. Now it's time to call everyone back and watch what the Guardian Seekers are up to."

"Very well!"

The two leave.

The Guardian Seekers with Gwen and Kevin returned back to the tent safe and sound. The Guardian Seekers were quite aware they barely escaped Piedmon...No they knew he let them escape. Ben showed Discord the two key chains of Professor Paradox and Azumuth. Discord bit his lip almost wanting to burst out laughing at this finding it quite amusing that someone could do this...Although he didn't in the end as it reminded him of his stone imprisonment. Luckily Discord's Chaos Magic was able to undo this transformation. Once Discord reversed this both Professor Paradox and Azumuth look around seeing Ben.

"OH thank goodness we were saved" Professor Paradox said.

"Indeed, and we'd probably would've gotten here if that clown hadn't jumped us without us knowing" Azumuth said.

"What are you two doing here?" Ben asked.

Azumuth looked at Ben holding up the map "I came across this on my home planet Ben. Now I'm not sure completely but it's writing seems to be of a language that I believe is from a certain world that wishes to remain hidden. Once I found it, I had a feeling you might need it."

Professor Paradox nodded "Yes, I went with him to try to get here faster, but we were spotted by someone."

"Chaosbringer" Ben muttered.

Azumuth frowned "Kamen Rider Chaosbringer is here then...And with him the Chaos Gods…"

"You know about the Chaos Gods?" Ben asked the alien.

"You forget Ben, us Galvin have a long lifespan. We have witnessed many worlds fall to the Chaos Gods mostly for worlds not fully known" Azmuth admitted "Earth is very much doomed if the Gods make any more gains. Tennyson, know this you can switch aliens during battle."

Ben took a look at the map not able to read it passing it to Zoe "Zoe? Can you translate it?"

"I maybe able to transform into a Digimon but I can't translate this!" Zoe said "But I know someone whom might be able too...Thomas!"

Sailor Saturn agreed "He should be able to."

"Then we'll have to search him out" Aang admitted.

"Where ever we go, we have to believe Chaosbringer will intervene" Hinata reminded them "Now I know he wants us to be worthy adversaries, but he will intervene to prevent us from advancing on our goal."

It was then Ben heard Azmuth's comment "Wait? I can switch aliens?"

Azmuth shook his head "Yes, normally I'd let you figure that out on your own, but due to the circumstances you need to hear this."

"Nice!" Ben said "That will make things a bit easier!"

"If harder" Negi reminded him "If it give you the wrong alien."

"That's gonna be annoying but at least we have a way out!" Ben admitted "Now let's see what we can do tomorrow."

Professor Paradox thanked Ben "Thanks for rescuing us Guardian Seekers, we'll be on our way out."

"Good luck Tennyson" Azmuth told him.

"Will do!" Ben said.

The Guardian Seekers now relaxed now having a map that would lead them to a clue. Gwen and Kevin left to go back to Belmont to lead the Plumbers kids.
