Bloodline: Descendants of the Digidestined

Chapter 10: Safiirumon's Rebellion

Prologue: Who to tell the previous even.... What the? Where's that light coming from? Ack!! The door!! Holy crap, it's Trunks!! Trunks, "Copy my outfit, will you?" Lily goes, "That's the guy this outfit reminds me of!!" *The sounds of pounding flesh and bone, and energy blasts echo about* Trunks, "Now, you will stay in that human pretzel position until you're ready to apologize." Heeellllllppppppppppp........ Meeeee....... Trunks says, "And don't make pleas to the readers." *Trunks looks around* Trunks recounts, "Guess I should tell you what happened last, since I'm here and all. Well, after the sad funeral of friend and Digidestined Jou, Lily met Malachimon on the roof, only to meet an ambush from the sinister Attorneymon and his crony Dimentiamon. Unable to successfully grab her and finish her, Dimentia hurled Lily far into the future, a day when Attorneymon's word was law, and he could make quick work of her. Attorneymon fled back to the Digital World with Malachimon in his clutches. Confused as to her whereabouts, Lewis, Lilymon, and the others started searching for her across town. In the Digital World, something else was found. Two kids, Kiki and Shiro, on the beach of a river outlet met Laomon and towed her back to their home after she lost consciousness before them. Little did she know she was back in her old hometown, the same town she nearly destroyed and would have as Wicked Lilymon if Stefan had not stopped her. From the boy she learned of the many types of digimon/human hybrids that can exist. Shortly after, while viewing the town, her past caught up to her and was forced into the Mirror Chamber, a room with a super-advanced computer that puts your very soul at trial. She managed to survive her trial, only to then learn the ghosts impersonating her and her sister has stolen all the children of the town, including Kiki. She returns to her old home to find out the real identity of the impostor to be a thieving ghost digimon called Marleymon. Meanwhile, back in Lewis' place, Yuuji comes to the realization from what he witnessed, and realized that Lily was flung through time, and with Masato and Lotusmon's help, was able to make a crude time travel device. The only flaw was that it sent them not through time, but to an alternate reality. While chasing what seemed a digivice blip, Sirenamon got into a big fuss with a historian eating noodles, and got arrested. Later as she...." Sirenamon, "You better skip this part....." Trunks, "Okay, moving on, this guy who looks like Izzy bails them out, and he tells them he knows Lewis Wick, and of their world. In this reality, Lily was running in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo from a hoverbike gang, then when the Black Polizei sees her digivice, and help the bikers!! A massive orange gyrocopter like aircraft, the General Li, arrived in the nick of time to save Lily from the evil cyborg sheriff DOS Kog and his stickly lackey Deputy Tabasco. Aboard she learned the horrid fate that awaits from her now blind grandmother Lilymon, all because she disappeared. Now here's the part that got me all riled up... We'll call it 'Exhibit A.' Then, Deputy Tabasco starts a chain reaction that Attorneymon, who in this time has now become the sinister Omega digimon District Attorneymon, has put into place to contain and destroy the resistance and Lily in one move. What he didn't expect is Hiroshi's leadership skills and Tabasco's ineptitude. Luckily for the DA, Tabasco, despite being a few bricks shy, pulls off the plan anyway and herds the crew of the General Li to his fortress, where the Plasma Autoturrets slaughter much of the fleeing rebels, and hovertanks sent in to mop them up. Hiroshi, Lily, and Lilymon manage to get away, and they decide that the only way out other than a casket is to break in and steal a transport ship, a risky venture, but not as risky as staying outside at the mercy of the tanks and turrets. Inside, Hiroshi meets his maker saving Lily from the steely grip of DOS Kog. A mysterious is at work, because soon after, Lily transforms into a bigger, badder, older being. Is it possible those quests were meant to unleash that power? Man, time travel here is way more complicated than I thought...."

Lily stands in a black room, a single light illuminating her. "All people live, but in most cases, the reason is shrouded. All living things have the power to be great. The key is unlocking that power. Some are meant to be smart. Some are athletic. Some are creative. Some are evil. Some are good. When people live in the fear of others' greatness, hope is lost. A child, three-quarters human, one-quarter digimon, what is my purpose? What is my potential? Some say I am average. Others say I will unleash a power so divine that evil lives in fear of me. Am I doomed to the monotony of normal life? Am I doomed to die at the hands of evil beings scared like terrified children at the mere mention of my name? Am I the one who saves the world? Or do I have another fate? Only I can answer that question. I do not know that answer. Maybe one day I will know that answer. Until then, I ask: What is my purpose?"

DOS Kog exclaims in horror, "I sense a Mega in the room, but the only Digimon here is an Ultimate!! Worst yet, it's coming from the girl!! It's impossible!!" Lily answers, "It's possible." A profile shows up of Lily in this new body. Laomon narrates, "It seems that my hypothesis was right. Lily is a demi-human, which has now activated the switch gene in her. She has become Yurisapia, a Plant type Digisapien equal to the Ultimate, but her power levels tell another story. She has powers equal a Mega digimon!!" DOS Kog goes, "I still got a job to do!! Time to aerate you!!" He fires another liquid blast. Lily stares it down.

"Silent Timber!!"

Her fist glows, then she swings, and everything goes dim except the two fighting. Her fist strikes the spike and sends it curling back, but when she hit it, there was no sound. In fact, everything is mysteriously quiet. Lilymon's cries of concern, DOS Kog's sounds of shock, and the splitting of metal, all muted. The separated segments of spike jab into DOS Kog. Light and sound then return to normal. Lilymon, "Watch out!!" DOS Kog fires a salvo of missiles from his right arm. She steps back, and corkscrew dives right through the volley, handspringing up and before DOS Kog unscathed.

"Epic Dispatch!!"

She takes her spear as she lands, and swings it thrice, then leaps over him, and hits him thrice more. He begins to fall to pieces, as the missiles turn back.... and hit DOS Kog!! Lily turns and looks at her former foe. "You're right. Destroying someone is a hard thing to do, both physically and emotionally." Lilymon goes, "Yes. I feel sorrow for all those we have to wipe out, all because they only see darkness, and seek to destroy us all without remorse." Lily goes, "Come, grandmama. We must hurry." They run down the hall. Lilymon goes, "Such power..... It's so hard to believe, even now. One moment, you are an average child, now you may very hold the key to the Megami. Why didn't Mai ever tell us the fabled digimon was already in you?" Lily goes, "Huh?" Lilymon goes, "Remember, you are yourself 25% digimon, but why only now do you exhibit digimon traits?" Lily answers, "I would say I was too young, but my mother was born with her traits. It was like I felt something 'trigger,' like someone flipped a genetic switch, when I saw Hiroshi die." A yell from down the hall to halt startled the two running. Lilymon goes, "Oh no, it's the DA's legal dream team!!" A group of 2 humans, 1 digimon, and 2 cyborgs stood there in suits. The digimon looked like Attorneymon. The digimon goes, "I represent my partners when I say, 'Step No Further,' or face our class-action wrath!!" Lilymon goes, "I wish I still had my necklace." The Attorneymon goes, "That thing? It's ours now. It powers this whole palace." Lily, "Now, where's it held?" The legal team, "We cannot disclose that information." Lily, "Looks like I'll have to make you disclose that info then." The legal team, "You object. Objection overruled!!" They speed down the halls at amazing speed. Lilymon takes a few pot shots with her Flower Cannon, and takes down 1 human and 1 cyborg. Lily flies at the Attorneymon, and they collide, sending an energy blast all through the hall, vaporizing the other two legal guys, and blowing up the walls. They engage in a bitter melee. Lilymon exclaims, "When did Lily learn martial arts?" Finally, he zooms away, then returns, and elbows her in the back. Lily stands up, angry, her digivice glowing. Rocks fly up all around her as everything around her goes white. Her jacket grows into a white three-quarters trenchcoat (Hanging to her knees). Her pants turn white. Gold shoulder plates like Sephiroth's from FF 7 appear on her shoulders. The collar on the jacket gets larger and curved. On her left hand is a set of spiked knuckles made of briar vines. Attorneymon stares amazingly. Her profile shows up. Lilymon narrates, "What new surprises!! First, she unleashed her power, now has reached the Mega level!! She has become Natusapia. She is a Mega, but is resonating with power equal to what surges through me as Paladin Lilymon!!"

Upstairs, the DA is pacing. "What is taking them..... What?! That power!! It's growing stronger!! NO!! She must be stopped!!" Lily looks down the Attorneymon. Lily speaks, "I'm betting you're a newly digivolved Attorneymon, am I right?" He nods. "I see why you quiver in fear of me. How did you come to be?" The Attorneymon answers, "I'm the son of him and Malachimon, when she under the ring's control, anyway. Goody-Goody wench. So was my sister. Had to get rid of her as well." Lily, "Run then. If you fear me that much, then fighting you is unnecessary. You make me sick." She walks off. He laughs and attacks.

"Bureaucratic Red Tape!!"

She hears this, and yells, "You fool!!" She turns about face.

"Aura Bolt!!"

Her attack swallows his red tape, and vaporizes him. They march onward, and by chance find the power chamber. The peons in the room try to stop her, but they nothing to Lily and Lilymon. Lily walks over, and fiddles with the controls. "One of these buttons must shut down the generator." She messes around, and finally a pedestal rises up holding Lilymon's Palacin necklace. All the lights go off, then red lights turn on in the power room. Lily calls out, "Hey grandmom, is this yours?" She tosses her the necklace. Lilymon goes, "It's been a while." She clutches the emerald stone. "Hope I remember how to do this."

"Lilymon Celestial Crystal Digivolve to Paladin Lilymon!!"

Paladin Lilymon shouts, "Booyah!! Here we go!!" They run out to a dimly lit hall, and start running about, dispatching guards. In his office, everything is still working though. District Attorneymon asks, "Where are going, little Lily girl?" He watches their movements on a holographic map. "I think you're looking for a way out. Why else would you be in here? I mean, flying over or climbing the walls is suicide, so why not come in and seek a vehicle of mine? I see what you're doing, Lilymon, and I'm not amused. Let me help you find the hangar." He pushes a button. In a hall, Lily says, "I think I see it!! What the?!!" A fireball flies out of the hangar doors. The whole palace rocks from a mass explosion. Lilymon responds, "He blew up the ships...." A familiar voice to Paladin Lilymon echoes in the halls. "You aren't the only thing that will explode." From the smoke walks out Nosferatumon, Thanatomon, and Ladyarukeimon (Formerly Ladyshdowfiendmon, but this name sounds better). Nosferatumon, "How long has it been, Lilymon? This time you don't have your foolishly heroic Lewis to protect you." Paladin Lilymon asks, "How? You all became part of Obliviomon, and then we obliterated him." Ladyakureimon answers, "Like you just said, he was blown up, not us." Thanatomon chuckles at Lily. "This is the person that has the DA in such a fuss? What a joke." Nosferatumon smacks him and yells, "You don't get it!! That girl can release the Megami!! Can you even comprehend the levels of power?!" Thanatomon's face goes blank, then slowly to shock. "I take that back....." Lily asks, "Who are they?" Paladin Lilymon goes, "These are three of the 7 Overlords of Chaos of Olden Days. We beat them once, we can do it again." Ladyarukeimon moves first.

"Venom Daggers!!"

Lily retaliates.

"Aura Bolt!!"

The shot fries her daggers, and then blows her in half. Lily isn't done yet. She slides her left foot back, and extends her right hand out, palm facing Ladyarukeimon, and Lily looks between her index and middle fingers. A green aura builds around, then he palm strikes forward with her left hand, yelling,

"Tsuta Slam!!"

Chunks of plants and green orbs collide into Ladyarukeimon, amass, then explode in a jade glow. Thanatomon and Nosferatumon look in horror at how easily she beat Ladyakureimon. Nosferatumon, "Hu... Hu... How!!"

"Mana Burst!!"

Paladin Lilymon shoots Nosferatumon, sending him down the hall, where he slowly starts to disintegrate. Thanatomon shudders in horror as he sees Nosferatumon meet his end so easily. He screams as he sees Lily glows. The trechcoat grows full length and becomes silver. On the baldric, roots with Magnolia blossoms on one end and hollowed knife blades appear. The shoulder get a little bit bigger, and a second cover set lands on top of them. A white strings through these cover plates, the ends resting on the outside edges of her arms, going up and under the new plates, then coming out the same end they went in atop the first layer of ribbon, arcing back behind her and becoming wider, the center sitting at the middle of her back, with a green Crest of Sincerity in that center spot. She gets a little taller, a little older looking. From the briar spiked knuckles sprouts a second set at the base of her fingers, and small vines stretch out from it and a fingerless biker glove made of leaves and covered in gold GDZ metal appears. A single white lily sits in her hair. Lilymon narrates, "More surprises, for Lily has just reached her Giga form of Demetesapia. Technically a Giga, her fervor, compassion, strength, and all-out power is unimaginable. It's like she's a Demi-Omega!!" Thanatomon goes, "You're not a girl.... You're an unstoppable monster!!" He backs off, but as he steps back, she steps forward.

"Crimson Chain Flail!!"

He strikes her in the face, but doesn't even flinch. He whips and whips, but nothing comes from his attempts.

"Omega Strike!!"

His blasts advance at the unyielding child, who raises her spear, puts it before her, and twirls it in a blinding spin. The shots ping and ricochet everywhere. Smoke rises up, and he stills sees her figure advancing.

"End of Days!!"

He unleashed his attack, what could be described as an 'Evil Light of Judgment' at the girl. A giant chunk of District Attorneymon's palace explodes and erupts into flames. Thanatomon starts laughing maniacally and paranoidly yells, "I... I... I did it!! I stopped her.... No!!! Why won't you go away?!" Lily still stood, just walking towards him. As he stepped back, he didn't notice the fact he was about to run out of floor. Lily grabbed the knives.

"Steel Magnolias!!"

She hurls the throwing knives rapidly into Thanatomon, sending him head over heels onto his stomach. He slowly stands up as the areas around the knives turn an indigo color and spreads, he grimaces from the burning pain; poison. He staggers back. "I'm not going down so easily!!" He steps back once more.

"Hand of Tartarus!!"

He swings hard as he may, but Lily answers this.

"Kobushi no Junkyou!!"

Her punch not only stops his, but the briars tear up his fingers, and the force is so hard, that the radius and ulna in his left arm blow out the back of his arm. Grotesquely his arm hangs limp, as the bones sit half out his arm and skin sagging. Outside, the sky was dark, and then a bolt of lightning crackled. In that split second of light, Thanatomon saw something that terrified him to no end. When the light flickered, for that brief moment, Lily looked just like an angelic being, complete with giant angel wings. Thanatomon quietly utters, "You are the Megami." After he does, he goes to back, but there is no more floor to back up onto, and he falls, and before he can right himself and fly, he falls into District Attorneymon's acid moat, and sinks away, his hand reaching for help, then going still and sinking. Lily has a peculiar look on her face. She speaks softly, "He called me the Megami. Why would he do that?"

In the other dimension, where Masato and Yuuji currently are, they are with the so-called Izzy in a swank house. Masato goes, "Now, how do you know Lewis?" Izzy goes, "He was here himself only 41 years earlier, as were the rest of your world's Digidestined. They helped save this world then. Oh, and don't tell Taichi, but he kinda died at one point and we had to go back and undo that. Also, Taichi came back here for a stint in 2027." Yuuji looks over at a painting in awe. It shows a compass rose, and on each cardinal direction stands a digimon. On the West stands Avalonmon with his capes flapping, helmet off, left foot behind him, and his sword in his left hand and his right arm pointing forward. In the center is another digimon, this one a female angel under a light, and her hands rest on a girl standing with her under that light. Yuuji responds to it, "It's so realistic." Masato says, "If I'm right, Avalonmon is on the left. Except for that one photo in my textbook and the Digimon Analyzer programs, I've never seen him." Yuuji goes, "I've never seen him period. Who is he?" Masato goes, "Well, he's only the most powerful form of Agumon, when Taichi uses the Power Nexus of Honor to make Paladingreymon digivolve to his Omega level." Sirenamon goes, "Damn!!" Izzy goes, "Yeah, about two years after our children, the new Digidestined, fought their last battle, this just turned up, the letter just saying, 'From a spectator.' Never found out who that was. Well, never mind that. How did you end up here?" Masato lays out the story. Izzy goes, "I remember seeing that thing before they carted you off. If I could get it, I could find out what went wrong. Say, who made it anyway?" Lotusmon goes, "I did. Tinkering with machines a lot helped me out, not to mention having experience using dimensional gates. If Yuuji had of waited, I may of averted this jump." Yuuji says, "Sure, blame me." Izzy, "I think I already have a good idea what went wrong." Lotusmon looks at him sternly. "Whatchu talkin 'bout....." Izzy interrupts, "Finish that line and I'll kick your ass." Lotusmon thinks, "I seriously doubt that." Izzy thinks, "Man, I hate Diff'rent Strokes." Silence fills the air for a moment, then Sirenamon breaks it by asking, "Well, what do you propose, break into the police station?" A woman's voice says, "I like that plan." Masato goes, "Que?" Izzy goes, "Like Lewis, Araiya, and the second Yolei in your world, we have our own unique Digidestined, and this is one of their daughters, Karen Killian. Think of her dad as the Lewis of this world." Lotusmon, "Intriguing. In this world, the new Chosen Children were the children of the Digidestined. In our world, 7 of the 10 are grandchildren of the original Chosen." Izzy, "Grandchildren!! I should have asked sooner, but who the hell are you?" Masato, "I'm Masato Kido. My grandparents are Miyako and Jou, but Jou is dead now." Izzy, "He's.... dead!! How?" Masato goes, "He was at ground zero of a nuclear explosion. A vast evil came three months ago, and the nuclear device was set up to destroy his sky base, and Jou volunteered to arm it. Warvamdemon attacked him in the engine room, but before he could be finished off, Jou blew up the base. Enough though. We have to hurry, or someone else we care about will die. Our leader Lily is stuck in the future and we have to get her back." Karen goes, "Well, while you were speaking it gave me time to think of the plan we'll use. We'll....." Sirenamon interrupts, "Better plan. What the male to female ratio of cops in that precinct?" Izzy and Karen look at her strangely. Karen goes, "Well, I don't know. Why you asking?" Sirenamon responds, "If I'm right, when I was in there, for every one woman in there, there were 15 men." Izzy, "Now's not the time to think about equal rights and affirmative action." Masato goes, "It's alright. I see what she's thinking about doing, and if those numbers are right, it'll work with ease, and we'll never have to do anything." Izzy goes, "Explain." Masato answers, "Her Siren Song attack can distort, confuse, shut down, and sometimes even control the minds of men, but women are immune to it." Karen goes, "Sirenamon, Sirena, Siren...... Well, that makes sense. It could work. It's unorthodox, but it could work." Masato goes, "Lay it on us, Sirenamon!!" Sirenamon goes, "I need makeup, a blouse, blazer, thick comforter, a bandanna, sunglasses, and a wheelchair." Yuuji asks, "What for?" Sirenamon remarks, "Well, I'll still need a disguise, in case something goes wrong, like there are more women than I thought, another cop drives up during the exchange, or something extreme that causes me to lose my concentration and they wake up, I'm not recognized. Besides, like that historian guy said, my type has never been seen before, and I'd really stand out, so I'm doing this to stay low-profile." Karen, "Well, fashion and all that stuff isn't my style. Time to call in the big guns."

An hour later, what looks like Mimi, with two other women, come in with trunks of stuff, most of which being lugged my Taichi. Mimi, "Karen told me all about it. Where is she?!" Looking at all the stuff she brought, Sirenamon nervously raises her hand. "Uh...., right here, Mimi." She thinks, "Boy, did I bite off more than I could chew." Mimi goes, "Okay, this will be a little harder and different than I thought." Sirenamon goes, "You calling me ugly?" Mimi goes, "No, I'm saying you're already so beautiful, but what Karen told us was that you needed a full body workover. This'll be my first one." Sirenamon, "First... one?!" Mimi goes, "Well, yeah. I only do this on the side. I'm really in movies and music. This is really Ivy's field of work. Kasumi, my daughter, wanted to see her in action. I'm learning how to do professional studio make-up so I don't have to bother with those dumb make-up people. Since this is my first full body job, Ivy's just gonna sit back and advise." Sirenamon, "But can't Ivy do it instead? I mean, why would I need....." It hits her.... Karen says, "But Mimi has to learn to do these things." Sirenamon goes, "Why you little...." They drag her to a bedroom." Karen thinks, "Outshow me, will ya." A big grin comes over her face. From the room, Sirenamon yells, "Dye my hair and archaeologists will be digging you up in an ice cube millions of years from now." And moments later, "Ack, that crap burns!!"

Well, while that adventure in makeovers is going on, let's look on to third prong of this story, or have you all forgotten about Laomon fighting Marleymon. No, he's not the digital ghost of Bob Marley, so put that bong away. Say, where are they? Trunks, "Over there." Okay, here we go.... Hey, what are you still doing here? I apologized.

Laomon thinks, "Man, this guy can block and absorb my light attacks, and I can't actually hit him hard because I go right through him with anything more that a light punch.... I need some fire." They go back into a near unseeable hand-to-hand battle. The mayor goes, "Can anyone follow the fighting?" Most of the onlookers shake their heads. Goburi those calls out, "I can see it, faintly. They're going really fast." Marleymon flies back some.

"Chains of Burden!!"

He takes the chains on him and swings them at Laomon. As he swings, they just seem to get longer and longer. The first misses her, but the second strikes her in the face, and third swing hit her in her left shoulder. After taking the hit, Marleymon flew up behind her and hammer punched her into the road, busting it up. Marleymon goes, "Pitiful." Laomon lies there, and smells gas. In front of her, the gas line had ruptured. Laomon says, "Just what I need." She grabs the line and holds it up aimed at him. Marleymon jokes, "What's this?" Laomon takes a beam of light and strikes it across the front of the line, and sparks started a blaze that shot out 1000 feet, but the flame was spreading down the rest of the line. Laomon yells, "Not today!! Peace Lily Daggers!!" She throws them all around her, and they all ascend into the sky. Marleymon is still basting in the flame. The daggers fall down in areas of the road around the block she's in. The fire spreads, but hits the daggers instead. Laomon yells out, "Kill the gas or we'll all bite it!!" The mayor phones the info to the gas company. The blaze from the line stops on the end she's holding, but the pavement around the daggers is swelling and cracking. Marleymon hovers on fire, and he says, "Smart weakening me with fire, but your move will you cost you the whole town!!" Suddenly, the daggers go flying, and small explosions go off, and all around the block, geysers of flames shoot up. Marleymon screams, "You shut off the rest of the city's gas!! There went my plan!! Wait, I'm a walking talking match now because of your basting. There will still be a human barbeque tonight!!" He flies off ablaze. Laomon, "The children!!" She pursues him vigilantly, catches up to him over her house, and engages again in combat too fast for anyone to watch. Laomon looks like she's winning, but Marleymon says to her, "You finish me, I fall through the roof, I hit the gasoline, and boom, I still win. Now, let me continue sucking these people dry of their money and food, and I might not torch them." Laomon looks at him and goes, "So. Screw you." She prepares to attack. Marleymon, "You really don't care....." Laomon thinks, "I can't let him guilt me out of this." Marleymon goes, "Okay. Toasty kiddies, coming up!!" He descends towards the house when he hears,

"Sevenfold Flower Cannon!!"

Marleymon goes, "You already know it won't work, but you are persistent to the last." The beam hits him and knocks him inside, people covering their ears and cursing at Laomon, but then, no explosion. The people chatter in surprise. "What? The house didn't explode. That place is soaked is gasoline!!" One man says. Marleymon flies out steaming and looking a little hurt. Marleymon, "You.... hurt me. How?!" Laomon says, "The fire weakened you badly. Your choice not to put it out made things worse for you, and when I hit you, your defense was so low you couldn't defend from it. Also, even if it didn't hurt you, it'd still snuff those flames on you, and it did." Marleymon, "You ruined me!! DIE!!!" He flies at her.

"Shadows of the Sakura Blossoms!!"

Marleymon, "Wha... A darkness attack coming from a light digimon?" Laomon says, "There can be good without evil, but without darkness, you cannot have light." Dark violet cherry blossom blow in on the wind in front of Laomon, and then many of them bond together into a dark portal with the remaining blossoms swirling around it counterclockwise. Marleymon is moving too fast to stop, and flies right into it. After he does, he screams, then the portals breaks apart back into the individual blossoms, and blow across the city. Laomon flies into her old house, and goes to the basement, where she released all the children held there. As the last ones came out, with Laomon, the people cheered. Laomon says, "Much of the food he stole and a great deal of money is in a freezer in the basement." The people cheer again. The mayor goes, "You saved us from certain starvation. You saved our children. You saved us from bankruptcy. You put our mind at ease of what happened to the Lilymon sisters. We know the truth now.... You are truly not the same digimon who almost wiped us out 15 years ago. On behalf of the people of Fjord Harbor, we like to give you something....." Laomon interrupts, "I couldn't take it. I've done too much to you already. All I ask is to return to my house and left be." The mayor goes, "Okay then.... Let's go everyone." The crowd disperses as Laomon goes back in, sits down, and just starts crying. Laomon, "Without darkness, you can't have light...."

Advancing up the palace floors, Lily and Paladin Lilymon are closing in on the DA. He watches from security cameras how quickly they are coming. "How can she do it? Her power is astounding, almost on par with my own when I was Attorneymon, and she hasn't even made it to Terra yet. No, today will not be the Day of Reckoning. I won't allow it!! I will stop the coming of the Megami!!" He stands silent for a moment. He speaks softly, "I am an Omega digimon, and even now, I still cow in fear of one girl. Am I overreacting? She's only a child. What can she do to me? Wait, that's what she wants me to think. I must kill her quick." He hears Paladin Lilymon slag his secretary with a Palatial Flower Cannon. Slowly, the doors open, and in the light stands the two. "You..., broke through all my forces...." Lily, "And now I am here to end the misery you inflict once and for all." District Attorneymon looks at them, and yells, "There will be no Reckoning today!!"

"Capital Aggression!!"

He hits both of them in a giant unfocused chain lightning blast that extended out all around him. "I did it!! She's dead!! Hah ha..... No....." Lily stands back up, a couple of cuts and small burn marks, but nothing heinous. Paladin Lilymon on the other hand is a different story. She lays there is pool of her own green blood, massive cuts and burns all over her, armor in areas welded to her flesh. She turns her head to look at Lily and says, "West of here, on Mt. Fuji, is the Gaia Temple, where Mimi was laid to rest. Take my necklace and visor there to the priests, and they will speak to you. Keep them with you. All life's fate rests with you. Don't lose your hope. At least you're the last thing I see." She closes her eyes, and her body goes black, and crumbles away. In the dust that was once her grandmother, she takes the visor in her pocket like she asked, and puts on the necklace for safekeeping. Lily looks over at District Attorneymon. "Monster..." He steps back. "Wiping out people you don't like for fun. Crushing the helpless for power. All my family, all my friends, all gone because of you. Gennai died believing in my power. Hiroshi died for the same cause. I doubted this, until Thanatomon himself looked at me in terror and said 'I AM the Megami.' I don't know about Megami, but I am Lily Fallon, and the bell tolls for thee today." He looks at her and thinks, "That power!!" The sky became chaotic and the building shook as she stood there. A powerful aura glowed around her, and green bolts of lightning shot out around her from her body and her necklace. The gem in that gold necklace given to her started to glow. As her power surged, District Attorneymon watched her flicker back and forth between levels. And then it happened.

"THE SHARD OF MARTYRDOM!!"

The floor crumbled up around her and floated up, the floor beneath her feet crumbled into a crater. Lily herself turns white, and rays of light extend from the pendant. Everything goes black. An angel in the darkness sheds a tear that falls through the darkness, past the clouds, and onto the shard, the only thing visible other than the pendant it sits in. It resonates in a rainbow of colors as slowly, Lily's outline shows up in the darkness. She spins around in the darkness, and then she opens her eyes, and when she does, everything lights up in white, even Lily. Green energy orbs float in and are engulfed by the shard. Golden beams shoot up all around as everything else fades to green, but Lily stays glowing white.

"Demetesapia Terravolve to...."

She begins to levitate in the air, her arms spread out, her body standing like a T. One of the gold beams rising from the floor swallows her whole and burns away everything on her but her sandals, pants, her pendant & Lilymon's necklace, and her tanktop. Her hair becomes longer and more Mimi like, but with more bangs in front. The Palacin crystal on Lilymon's necklace glows, and is garnished in standard Lilymon gloves, but these are white with green petals. Also, on her back, four leaf wings grow out. Her pendant floats up to her forehead, and the string circles her head. A green beam from each side extend out, then meet in the back. In a flash, and a flurry of white feathers, the beam is replaced by a wreath of flowers. In another flash around her hair, her hair above the wreath stays smooth and flat, but all her hair in the back and below the wreath is kinda spiky, not SSJ spiky, but still, it's pretty damn spiky. Also, in parts of her hair, there are golden accents and band, especially the inside edges of the two big bangs in front. Her digivice/spear descends down in front of her, and when it stops, she grabs it in her left hand and holds it where the bottom half of the spear pole runs across the outside edge of her arm, the spearhead pointing at an angle towards the ground.

" ...Magna Lilysapia!!"

District Attorneymon utters, "Her power, it's incredible!!" She stands there, bolts of power pulsing through her hair.

Well, enough of that. Mimi's done with Sirenamon. Mimi, "It took me 4 attempts and 10 hours, but I'm done." She falls over asleep. Everyone else does an anime fall and sighs. Ivy wakes up. Ivy, "Huh, what? What's going on? Oh yeah, here she is." They look in to see her sleeping. They fall over again. Masato goes, "I guess the grand presentation can wait. It's after 6 in the morning. Let's a cue from Mimi." Everyone slowly goes to sleep except Yuuji, who gets up. Sirenamon wakes up and comes to the door when the sun rises up. She is in the doorway in a nightgown. Yuuji stares at her as the sun hits her. "So beautiful.... She reminds of my mom." He is reminded of her death, then looks at Sirenamon again, and sees a phantom image over her of his mother as an angel. He runs to her. He calls out, "Mommy!!" and holds on to Sirenamon's waist, crying. She has a peculiar 'What the hell?' look on her face. She thinks, "I must look like his mother. Poor kid. Seeing me must have brought back some bad memories." He lays on her asleep, but a few tears still run down his face. She takes him to the bed in the bedroom and lays him down, then she gets on the bed with him, puts her arms around him, and curls around him. From head to fins she makes a C-shape around Yuuji. She speaks softly, "I'll protect you Yuuji. I'll always protect you." and calmly goes back to sleep.

The next day.... "How do I look?" Yuuji, "Spectacular!!" Masato adds, "Very corporate." Taichi goes, "It's corptacular!!" Yet another anime fall. Taichi replies, "What'd I say?" Lotusmon comments, "It isn't just in our world after all. Goggle wearing DOES cut off blood flow to the brain." Mimi, "Well, it's good, but that comforter around your tail half yells 'old coot.'" Kasumi, "Oh, don't worry about her, Sirenamon. It's just fine." Taichi looks at her peculiar after she puts on a red bandanna over her head. Taichi, "You remind me of someone.... I know!! You look like Relm from Final Fantasy 3." He looks forward (Looking at camera stance). "Final Fantasy 6 here in Japan." Izzy asks, "Say, what are they up to, Final Fantasy 40?" Karen says, "Actually, 'Final Fantasy 36: Kefka's Rebirth' was released at the beginning of the month, just in time for Christmas." Izzy, "Damn!! I'm still on FF 33. Well, enough of that. We got to help these four get home, and we need that device they had. Hey, Tentomon, we're going!!" Tentomon is in a room pruning a tree, and around them are..... SHRUBBERIES!! Oh, and a few bonsais for extra panache. Tentomon, "Okay, Izzy!! No one's getting in without going through me first." They all leave. Tentomon goes in for an infinitesimal snip, and cuts it perfectly. "Ni!!" Lilymon stands there with him, as is Agumon, who looks like a human being. Lilymon, "You're a strange small little digimon, Tentomon." Agumon, "Holy crap, they're leaving!! What, I haven't said anything in a while." They run out and catch them before they leave. Mimi, "Where have you guys been?" Agumon goes, "Well, sitting around and waiting was well, boring, so we tried to find something to do." Lilymon adds, "We found Tentomon, but ever since everything got peaceful, he's been a bore. You sure pruning that tree is okay?" Izzy goes, "It's a healthy hobby." Taichi responds, "Dude, in all the years I've seen that tree, that tree hasn't grown a single leaf, but if you touch the tree, he kicks your ass." Masato, "Weird. I wanna see what things are different between this world and ours." About an hour later (You have to factor in the high traffic of Tokyo, and two car crashes along the way), they start to near the station. Taichi says, "So this digimon Attorneymon is doing some major hellraising in your timeline. But I still can't believe Daisuke became a crazy schizophrenic coot in a Unabomber shack!! Davis will freak when hears this!!" Ivy goes, "What, he's a bum. He made the company, now he lets some bunch of fat brownnosers do all the work." Scene cuts to Davis in an office playing Final Fantasy 35. Davis, "Incorporating was the best thing I ever did." Goes back to the car. Izzy, "We're here guys." Agumon goes, "Can't have you guys weirding out, so here's some earphones." Masato puts in an earpiece and says, "We'll be in contact with you." Sirenamon pops out. "Well, here goes." She slowly wheels over to the station and sits at the corner. Masato, "Now!!" Sirenamon receives the message.

"Siren's Song!!"

A shimmering sound echoes around, and suddenly, cars stop, and most male pedestrians move near. Inside the station, all the men stop what they were doing. Many of them fall out asleep, while others get up. In the car, Masato looks at Yuuji, who wasn't wearing any earphones, sit there unfazed by the sound. Masato, "What the? You can hear it, Yuuji?" Yuuji goes, "It sounds nice. I don't know what's so bad about it." Sirenamon says, "Now, I need the 'Time Key.' It looks like a weathervane with seven strange devices on it. It is in the evidence lockers. Retrieve it for me." All the men spellbound from the attack wander in. A bunch of female try to hold off the swelling mass, but they appear to be outnumbered. Some of them even brandish riot gear and guns with rubber bullets. They shoot into the crowd, but they won't stop. One of the cops radios, "We need like, hell, SWAT, here at the 10th Precinct, now!!" Like something from a zombie horror B-movie, the men bust down the door to the evidence room and tear the place apart, until the police chief himself finds the Time Key. They walk out. Sirenamon, "Now, cordon off the exits. Wouldn't want the women getting out." Swarms of men block off the exits, and police chief comes outside with it. In a trance state, he says, "Here you go." Sirenamon goes, "Now, go back inside and keep all the exits blocked. Wait 10 minutes, at which you will wake up, and not remember anything that has transpired today. Okay?" She starts to leave. "We have the Time Key!!" She slowly moves when small armies of police officers drive up. "Eep." One of the female cops gets out and goes, "Hey, that's the digimon we busted two days ago!! I should know, I booked her!!" Sirenamon grits her teeth and mutters, "Ixnay on the ipstray earchsay...." Karen starts snickering. "She got strip searched...." Sirenamon mutters, "Shut it." The police take aim. Sirenamon thinks, "How to Diffuse a Tense Police Standoff: Chapter 1. Deny involvement." She calls out, "Uh, no I'm not." The woman goes, "Yeah, right. I got 300 women here who can tell me you did all this." Sirenamon thinks, "Okay, if this doesn't work, proceed to Chapter 2, Negotiating." She says, "I want a plane to Cuba, or... or.... Shit. No bargaining chips." Police start moving in. Sirenamon thinks, "If all else all fails, run like hell." She leaps from the wheelchair, which cops shoot up thinking she was attacking. She flips forward, leaps up, and jumps atop a giant battering ram tank. She yanks the cop in it up. He yells, "Freeze!!" Sirenamon grins and goes, "I kinda don't belong in this dimension, so I can't really rot in jail, so the answer is no." She leaps up, and smacks him into another cop with her fins, then jumps in the tank. Sirenamon thinks, "Charges to date, week of December 24th, 2045: One count of assault. Three counts of assaulting an officer of the law. One count theft. Resisting arrest. I guess one count of disturbing the peace. Might as well add one count grand larceny. Now, which one of these levers is forward?" She pulls one, knocks it in reverse, and runs over a police car. "One count destruction of police property." She says, "That must be reverse. Let's push it." She does, and the tank goes forward. "Now, how the hell do I turn this thing?" She toys around, and finds the turning mechanism. Sirenamon goes, "Eh, not bad for someone who hasn't driven a tank before in her entire life." She ups and runs over three more cop cars, and seven other cars that just happened to be there. She thinks, "Make that three counts destruction of police property, and seven counts of destruction of property. Way to build a rap sheet there, Sirenamon. Been here only three days and you're already public enemy number one." She yells out, "Sorry!! Aw, I'm going to pay for that!!" She drives down the road, and commuters swirve and crash to avoid her. One guy jumps from his car to avoid her, and the car rolls into a gas station, blows up the gas underground, and starts a fire. The gas station gets up all charred and yells, "Dammit, I just opened yesterday!!" Sirenamon looks back at it and goes, "Man, I hope there wasn't anyone in there. They're probably going to find some way to blame me for that." News helicopters fly in and start showing footage. The reporter says, "This is Nuroki Tomoekai for TV Nihon. Some strange new digimon, according to cops, has hijacked a police battering ram and is parading down the freeway now. This all started two days ago on December 24th when the same digimon, referred to as 'Sirenamon' assaulted a man after an argument, which the cops happened to see, and went to arrest her. She then assaulted a cop when he tried to take a little boy, whom was not identified, from her, in what the cop that got hit called, 'A Bitch Slap with Fins.' Amazingly, they report Izzy Izumi, one of the Digidestined, managed to convince them not to press charges. When they arrested them, they confiscated what to them looked like a weapon. Today, she used some sort of mind control and forced all the male cops of the 10th Precinct to aid her in recovering this strange weapon, which looks like a weathervane. When police surrounded, she first denied her identity, then poorly tried to negotiate, and then she just stole the tank in frustration. Whoa, she has just turned a corner and rammed through the side of a transfer trailer, spilling thousands of the newly released Final Fantasy 36 CD's onto the street. Stores are now announcing that due to the already low supply, they will be temporarily raising the price to a staggering ¥22,000!! Not since 'Tickle Me Elmo' has something been grossly overpriced during the Holiday season." Davis stands in a store, his face turns red, and he yells, "Ass!!" Veemon goes, "Huh?" Davis goes, "If she were here right here, I'd ring her neck off. Make me pay nearly three times more...." Veemon goes, "Well, why didn't you just buy it sooner?" Davis, "I was busy..." Veemon, "Besides, it's not this is going to bankrupt you." Outside, Sirenamon is driving. "Maybe I should cut across this parking lot. Can't just run over those commuters." She takes a sharp turn and drives through the lot. She turns to avoid a woman and baby. Davis walks out and sees her running over his car. Davis, "My... My... My... My car!!" Veemon goes, "Maybe we should have stayed home." Davis, "Let's roll."

Remember, this is another dimension.

"Veemon Hyper Armor Warp Digivolve to Imperialflamedramon!!"

The profile comes up on him. Davis narrates, "The Veemon of this dimension has a much different system of evolution. In this world, the levels go Mega, Super, Ultra, and Excel. Also, us Digiegg users advanced our digimon's armor levels even higher. Think of this Super level Armor Digimon as the equivalent to a Giga digimon." Standing with him is a digimon that looks like Imperialdramon, but the black armor instead looks more like Flamedramon's red flame design armor. Davis hops on his shoulder and says, "Follow that tank." He sounds pissed. She quickly makes a move back to the freeway, where on the other side going the other way is another White Bronco chase. Sirenamon does a double take at the Bronco. "OJ?" Suddenly, a blast shakes the tank. Davis, "Hey, you!! I'm going to stop your reign of terror right here!!" Sirenamon mutters, "Boy, is he misinformed." Up ahead on the other end of the upcoming bridge there is a platoon of cars, jeeps, and road dividers. Sirenamon goes, "Well, I got two choices. Do I run down the blockade, or do I turn tail and run down the battalion of cars and bigass digimon behind me?" She sees that the bridge goes over a reservoir. "I guess I'll take door number three." She turns and drives for the guardrail. The sheriff there looks and shouts, "Is she crazy?!" Sirenamon punches up the throttle, and.... the tank is totaled on the guardrail, but the momentum catapults it over. It hangs on the bridge by the ramming head. Sirenamon comments, "Stupid American made piece of crap. Well, at least I went over it. Time to bail." She opens the hatch and jumps out, grabbing a bridge girder. She kicks the hatch closed, and the tank falls off the bridge into the reservoir. The sheriff goes, "Guess its time to get underwater search and recovery in here...." Davis goes, "Hey, I'm getting seven strange digivice signals coming from under the bridge." Imperialflamedramon goes, "So?" Davis says, "Let's check it out." Sirenamon goes, "Well, that's not good." They fly under the bridge, and slowly they move up and see her hiding, holding tight to the frame, trying not to look down. Sirenamon screams, then Davis, then Sirenamon again, then Imperialflamedramon, then Davis again. Davis then yells, "Stop that!! Shoot her!!!" Sirenamon goes, "Wait a minute, why didn't I do this sooner? I got six EDI's here." She leaps from the girder into the air. "Toodles, boys!! Digiport open!!" Before she reaches the water, she vanishes into the Digital World. At Izzy's place, Izzy flips through all the channels, which are doing nothing but talking about her. "This is Nuroki Tomoekai for TV Nihon. The great digimon diva of disorder Sirenamon has left a ¥12,000,000 path of destruction across downtown Tokyo, but amazingly no casualties to report other than two cops, but their trauma was basically the equivalent to a hard slap and a guy falling on another. In fact, they didn't even need to go to the hospital. They were treated on the scene. I don't know why I even mentioned it except to fill the air time we have. Moving on, there were no casualties, at not any to worry about, but there are a lot of pissed off people tonight. Police have moved her up to #1 on their Most Wanted list, and they are offering a ¥5,000,000 reward for her capture or information that leads to said capture. Wait, I got a report from HQ. We're taking you to corporate mogul Davis Motamiya." Davis, "Tonight we saw what this psychotic digimon did trying to evade justice. She must be stopped. On top of the cops' 5 million yen reward, I am offering a ¥100,000,000 reward, dead or alive, for her capture. Sirenamon must be brought to justice!!" Izzy looks on watching the news, and utters, "Worst plan ever."

Well, now, I haven't forgotten what's going on back home. Taichi goes, "I couldn't believe Masato and Yuuji would up and leave like this. All we know is a bunch of incoherent mumblings from Sora, and some scribbles she tried to write. Maybe when her surgery is over, she could tell us what happened." Lewis, holding a pack of frozen hot dogs over a big knot, says, "And why did they swipe six of our EDI's? It makes no sense. By the way, we're having hot dogs for supper." Araiya exclaims, "You're never going to get an ice pack, are you?" Lewis replies, "For the last time, no!!" Miyako sits in a room crying, saying, "I lost Jou. Now I lost Masato. Everyone I know is leaving me..."

Now, if we can move over a ways, say to the Mayo Clinic in the US, Sora is in an operation now. Well, actually, it started a day and a half earlier, but this is to catch you up. The head surgeon says, "Her jaw is gone. Cybernetic systems are vastly outdated and need to be replaced. Muscular damage has also been found to an extent in some areas. Gentlemen, we have the technology. We can make her stronger, faster, better than she was before." The Six Million Dollar Man theme plays as they work. Flash forward to the current point in time, about the time all of what just happened. The head surgeon says to Izzy, "We added plating to her skull, a robotic jaw, a new arm, which for some odd reason the US military was more than glad to donate, a new left eye, cybernetic attachments to her vocal cords, cybernetic grafts to her muscle tissue, cybernetic neurons to help aid in her adaptation, and a biomass converter to her digestive tracts. We also used that new anti-scarring protein. That way she wouldn't look like she was hacked up." Izzy goes, "We originally came here for just the jaw and arm!! Stupid HMO...." The surgeon goes, "Heed, money, now." Izzy goes, "Oh, alright. Say, why did you do all that?" The surgeon goes, "Well, the damage that she has taken over the years, especially what you said happened just a week ago was worse than we imagined. We had to repair all of the damage, but then we had to add more so the systems could integrate with her brain. That blow to her jaw hurt her neck too and damaged her vocal cords. Oh, and it means a lot of cash for us. That'll be $6,000,000." Izzy angrily writes the check. Izzy mutters, "Man, Sora is going to be pissed when she finds out all they did to her."

One hour later, she slowly wakes up. From her point of view, on the left side all these command prompts and files run, graphs and progress bars show up, and when they are done, she fully wakes up. Sora, "What just happened?" Strange thing was that it wasn't her voice. It was a cold Android 19 like voice. She sees another graph and under it says, "Calibrating vocal systems." Sora yells, "Izzy!!" This time, it's her voice. He is startled awake, sitting in a chair. "What the hell is going on!! I wake up, and I see things you'd see in a boot up sequence!! Please tell me it's morphine induced!!" Izzy goes, "Well, you see, uh, I don't know how to say this, but, that was no hallucination. They kinda did some things they didn't tell me about." She sits up and with her both arms starts to shake Izzy. "How could you let them do that? They're supposed to tell you these things beforehand. I don't know what they did to me!! Your.... arm!!" She notices she has squeezed them so hard they turned blue and Izzy's face was turning blue and was in complete shock. She lets go and he falls to the ground. Very slowly he returns to normal. "Oh no, Izzy. I almost crushed you in my hands. I'm so sorry." Izzy gasps for air. The head surgeon comes in just moments after and rushes over to Izzy. He turns him on his side as a precaution, and looks all over him to see big bruises on him, especially on his chest and back where her thumb and fingers were. Sora goes, "I didn't mean to do it!! I grabbed him and asked him why you did this to me, then he started turning blue." The surgeon goes, "Your newfound strength is incredible, but you must learn to control it. With the end result that happened in the operation, you could very well decapitate someone with a single finger if you aren't careful. You said you wanted our help, but you never said how much help, so we fixed all the things that were wrong with you. You will have to go through intense physical therapy in order to fully master your upgrades, and well, not do this again. Luckily, I don't feel anything broken. We'll take him to radiology to confirm this."

Another hour later, they return, Izzy all stiff and sore. The surgeon says, "He has some major bruising, but luckily you stopped before anything became fractured, but he will have to keep his arms in slings for a week to let them heal. I'll be back tomorrow to start your therapy." He leaves. Sora goes, "Oh, I'm so sorry, Izzy. I didn't know I'd crush you like that." Izzy goes in a painfilled way, "No problem." He looks at the phone. Izzy goes, "We need to tell the others what you saw so we can find out what happened to Masato, Yuuji, Lotusmon, and Sirenamon. Now, this will be a little harder to do, seeing as how neither one of us can use our arms, mine injured, and well in your state you'd crush the phone and the table it sits on. Now, I'm going to take my shoes off. You put your left arm out so that way if I lose my balance I don't fall on the floor." He pushes his shoes off, and then his socks with his toes. "Maybe I should of kept the socks on." He walks over and leans on Sora's arm as he raises his left leg up, and pushes the phone off the hook. He nudges the phone over to Sora, since she is closer, then goes to dial with his big toe. "Sora mentions, "Remember to dial 9." Izzy dials 9, then all the international prefix codes, then Lewis' number. The operator goes, "Connecting.... Please hold." Moments later, a ring.

Lewis jumps up. "Phone!!" Ken goes, "Now we can figure out what's going on!!" They both rush for the phone, and collide right in front of it. They step back and rub their foreheads. Lewis goes, "Maybe I should move the phone away from this corner. This is the twelfth this happened to me since we moved in. I wonder if I got a concussion yet?" Ken goes, "I agree. This is going to leave a huge knot." Lilymon flies in between them and gets the phone. "Ya`llo?" Sora goes, "Lilymon?" Lilymon goes, "No, I'm Cheri O'Teri, and people confuse us for one another. Of course it's me!!" Sora goes, "Why are you so snippy?" Lilymon goes, "Sorry, just that with Lily, Masato, Yuuji, Lotusmon, and Sirenamon missing, it's got me all worried and jumpy. Say, since you can speak again and all, what were you trying to tell us?" Lewis yells, "Tell Sora that better not be a collect call." Sora goes, "No, Lewis, this isn't a collect call. Oh, well, I went into the kitchen, and I looked out to see all four of them coming up from the hangar with all these EDI's, I think six of them, and Yuuji's digivice, all hooked up on his old weathervane thing. Yuuji pushed some buttons on his digivice, and it looked like Lotusmon was trying to warn him about something, and then this gate opened. It didn't look like a digiport, more like one of those space-time gates that Dao Garurumon can make, and then they were gone." Lilymon goes, "Space-time gate!!" Lewis and Ken follow suit. Sora goes, "I don't know why they didn't tell any of us. Maybe they knew something we didn't, but figured we wouldn't listen to them because of how preoccupied we were searching for Lily. By the way, have you found her?" Lilymon goes, "No, but I think those four were on to something we didn't think of. I better go." She hangs up. On Sora's end, she nudges the phone over with her head, then Izzy slowly balances the receiver on his foot and onto the hook. Izzy says, "Space-time gate?! Where'd they learn to make that?" Sora says, "That's one thing that worries me. The other is if it was this hard to use the phone, what are going to do when we got to use the bathroom?"

Lewis stands there boiling weenies in a pot while holding a bottle of mustard on his knot. "Why would they want to go through all the trouble of stealing our EDI's, working in secret, and not tell us a thing?" Araiya goes, "Maybe they felt we'd interfere?" Hikari mentions, "Maybe they felt they had to prove their selves to us." Bonnie goes, "But why six EDI's, and why make a device that makes space-time gates.... unless you wanted to search for something in another point in time." Lewis exclaims, "I get what you're saying there, Bonnie. Six EDI's; Six points in space, to mark a three dimensional point, and Yuuji WCEDI was the seventh point, or destination. Parts of a weathervane spin, and can give the simulated concept of moving points, or points in time. Somehow they interlinked them and use the digiport system to open a gate, and hoping that the interlinked data would amplify the gate, it would instead open a time gate!! Now, there's one flaw with that idea."

The Izzy of the other world finishes, "The digivices you have are meant to open passages through dimensions, not the space-time continuum, but from this model, I could perfect something that could let you open that gate. All I got to do is process that data on my laptop here...." Yuuji goes, "It looks old." Lotusmon laughs, "Man, this hunk of junk is old, man!! This thing still measures processor speed in Megahertz!!" Masato goes, "I've only heard of Gigahertz and Terahertz." Izzy, "Hey, stop razzing me about my laptop. So it's 40 some years old now. It's got sentimental value. Now, let's see here. If we change this, and move those wires..... Good thing Lewis explained temporal mechanics to me or you'd all be stuck here."

Back in this world, Lewis goes, "Now, what is it we're missing?" Lilymon goes, "When she disappeared, Attorneymon and Dimentiamon..... We were so blind. He threw her through time. That's why they risked all that. They went after her, but what Lewis says, they're sitting in some other universe right now instead, probably all alone...." Zenmon goes, "Well then, oh Grand Poobah of Time Travel, when is she?" Lewis says, "We can rule out the past, because if he did that, we wouldn't be standing here having this conversation." Araiya, "Well that really narrows down the possibilities there, now doesn't it." Tetsuo goes, "Well, maybe since Attorneymon is so scared of her, he sent her to a time when he is omnipotent and his word is law, a time when he could crush her with ease." Lewis, "Well, that's a possibility. Now, let's see what factors would need to happen in order for him to do this, and long it'd take." Yamato goes, "Aren't you going to entertain any other ideas?" Lewis goes, "We could, but right now, this sounds most likely. As for Masato and Yuuji, why don't some of us check out the spot where the gate opened and see if we can figure out where it went, then go in after them." Taichi goes, "Funny, I thought I was in charge." Lewis mentions, "Do you know thing one about time travel?" Taichi goes, "No." Lewis exclaims, "Shut your hole then. I'll let you know when I'm done."

Well, this brings up a good point. What has Attorneymon been doing since the kidnapping two days ago? Well... Attorneymon, "Guess what, Malachimon. Somebody very important has given you a reprieve, so I'm not going to kill you, but you will be wearing a killer accessory." Malachimon goes, "You sick thing...." Attorneymon, "Wait until you wear it." He takes out a ring, the Red Ring. "Metzger, clamp her down!!" Metzger throws her down and bounds her to a table. He slips the ring on her finger. Black bolts thrash from the ring, and she rears up in pain. Malachimon starts to convulse badly, and Metzger is bucked away trying to keep her down. Finally, she stops and just lays there. Then she sits up. "I'm back!!" Attorneymon goes, "It works!! Now, it's just time before that light in her in snuffed and she is ready." Malachimon goes, "I really find this form weird and uncomfortable." Attorneymon scratches his head in bewilderment. Attorneymon exclaims, "That is your body, you know." Malachimon goes, "No, this isn't my body, but it's a good first step towards resurrection, but that Malachimon is so resistant. Don't worry about it, Attorneymon, I can put her in her place." Attorneymon goes, "You're talking about yourself in the third person there." Malachimon goes, "Geez... Listen closely. I'm not Malachimon. She is repressed in this small body. I myself am Thanatomon. See, if you honestly thought you could alter the mind of something that came from pure minds, one pure good, one pure evil, then you must be new at the whole mind control thing. She has a will too strong to change, so Obliviomon took my data and compiled it into this ring. My job is to snuff her light and eventually her altogether by the vernal equinox. As you know, on the vernal equinox, at midnight, you are to perform a rite, which Obliviomon will tell you about soon, where using Malachimon's body, Obliviomon will return to the living realm, and I will then be restored as well, and the three of us will then destroy the Digidestined!!" Attorneymon goes, "This is most great. Now that the oh so special Lily is gone, no one can stop us!!" Thanatomon goes, "Well, yeah, but man, Malachimon is fighting me with such a vengeance. This may be a little harder than I thought. This was so tiring. I need to sleep." Malachimon walks over to the bed and goes to sleep. Inside, the real Malachimon thinks, "I must not quit, but I can't wake my own body up. I must find to break free. Someone release me. I am a prisoner in my own body."

Miles and a world away, Sakiko sleeps, when suddenly her dreams are cut off by the voice of Malachimon speaking. "I must find a way to break free. Someone release me. I am a prisoner in my own body. If I can only keep Thanatomon from completing his task..." Sakiko asks, "What is the task? What you do mean, prisoner in your own body?" Malachimon turns and goes, "Sakiko?" Suddenly Sakiko is thrusted into consciousness. Scarletmon wakes up and asks, "What is it, Sakiko?" Sakiko tells, "It was weird. It was like Malachimon was talking to me in my dreams, saying she was a prisoner in her own body." Scarletmon goes, "You must be worried about her. Dreams can have many meanings, but what was that strange 'Prisoner in her own body' deal you said?" Sakiko goes, "I don't know, but let's go back to sleep."

Now, for that highly anticipated bout. District Attorneymon laughs at her. "What makes you think I'm still scared of you?" Lily answers, "The fact that you're backing away from me is a good sign." District Attorneymon retorts, "Well, maybe I'm just getting ready to attack." Lily looks surprised.

"Railroader!!"

He extends his right arm out with his spiked knuckled fist balled up, and then all around him time and space distorted and just blurred away into a series of white lines in a black void. He starts to blur, and then he hits her with his fist right in the gut. She goes hurtling in the air through his doors, through the elevator, and finally bouncing off the back wall of the elevator. As soon as Lily gets out, the elevator crashes down the shaft. Blood trickles from her mouth as she finally stands back up. She takes a wide stance and raises her hands in the air. District Attorneymon thinks, "What is she doing? How stupid, her entire mid-section is unguarded."

"Railroader!!"

As he accelerates, the pendant in the wreath glows green, her left hand glows blue, and her right hand red. Beams fly from each light source in a triangle. In a flash, a white tetrahedron with another smaller tetrahedron spinning around and changing colors inside it hovering over her. The lobby glows white from the light of the tetrahedron. A moment later, the smaller tetrahedron was white and pointed perfectly down, and the bigger outside tetrahedron pointed up, the corners of the smaller tetrahedron tangent to the center of the lines of the bigger tetrahedron and the point in the dead center of the bigger base. Rays of light poured from the edges.

"Delta Crash!!"

The tetrahedrons are busting at the seams with light, and then explode, stopping the DA where he stands. Light blasts everywhere, and pieces of the tetrahedrons shoot all over. District Attorneymon crashes into the back wall in his chambers, making a crater of sorts in the wall, followed by shards of the geometric figures jabbing into his left shoulder and one under his eye. Slowly he pulls them out, throwing them to the ground and stomping them. The DA feels his shoulder all bloody. "You wench. You made me bleed. You shall suffer with me!!" In his hand a bloody knife appears.

"Tainted Evidence!!"

He hurls the knife for her neck, but just in time Lily catches it between her hands. The force is sliding her backwards as she holds on. The pressure the knife is putting on her also causes her hands to be slit by the knife. She winces and drops the knife as she feels her hands burn from the inside. Lily goes, "Poison... Must subdue it." She slides into a wide stance and falls on one knee as the burning moves about and her body fights it. District Attorneymon chuckles, then steps back a step and wields a fireball in his right hand. "You shall pain a mere joke when I finish with you."

"Legal Hell!!"

He throws the fireball and scores a direct hit on Lily. The fireball breaks up and makes a ring on the floor. From the floor spires of fire and legal documents rise up and strike Lily. She screams in pain as fire and.... paper cuts take their toll. Finally, she recovers from the poison, and stalwartly leaves the ring with only a few major scratches, mostly on her arms and legs. The DA looks in surprise. He thinks, "No one has ever survived that move. The fire is too hot and the cuts fatal.... How?!" Lily advances back into his office, then spreads her arms wide open, and starts to hover in the air. A strong gale sweeps the radius as she ascends. Her pant legs and hair flutter in the wind. Her eyes close, as spheres of light gather in front of her.

"Kin'iro no Kamikaze!!"

Lily's eyes thrust open quickly, her eyes glowing. From Lily emanates a white shockwave of light which strikes District Attorneymon hard, and levels the story they're on, then to add insult to injury, from the clouds blasts a golden beam lighting the sky, which comes down and hits the DA. In the beam hover golden leaves, which bob up and down as they hover, and then, when Lily raises her arms up, they rocket down into District Attorneymon, embedding into his chest. A quick scream and some deep breathing is all the DA can muster afterwards as he yanks the leaves from his chest. He charges for her and a quick melee ensues, mostly kicks are exchanged. In one move, they knock each down with a fearsome jab to each other's chins. Both of them flip back up and go at it, and not long after, District Attorneymon knocks Lily on her bum with a sweep kick. Not even a second passes before she flips forward onto her feet, backwards onto her hands, then as a surprise, catapults herself into District Attorneymon with a hefty drop kick to the chest, which she flips from and lands on her feet. He crashes into the floor and skids to a halt on the edge of the floor. Lily then flies into the air and a Neo style mid air flurry of kicks to DA's face, but District Attorneymon makes a great counterattack. As he is forced back, he pushes off his left foot and bicycle kicks Lily in the butt. She loses control and turns parallel to the floor. As he finishes, District Attorneymon grabs her ankles, swings her over and behind his head, and then swings her forward and slams her through the floor, and the one below that one. Lily gets up dazed, blood trickling from her nose and mouth, and from the cuts she took on her arms earlier. Parts all over are bruised. Finally, she regains her senses and flies through the hole she made falling and uppercuts District Attorneymon. DA, "When will you ever die?!" He fires energy scatter shots all over, and she emerges from the dust that rose. Lily, "I will not go quietly into that good night. I will rage, rage against the dying of the Light!!" DA, "You forget girl, I am the future!!!" Parts on his left arm glow and charge up. "Don't toy with fate!!" A compartment rises up on his left arm, and he points his hand to his left.

"Legal Loophole!!"

He shoots a black ball of dark lightning to his left. Lily, "I'm over h...." Out of nowhere, the ball hits her, and then moves on, and vanishes, then thwacks her from behind. It roars on, and hits her from above. It just seems to keep teleporting after hitting her just to assault her again. Pounding away at her, she falls to her knees, where it strikes her in the head. Her face got mad. She had enough. She stands up, and blasts the orb in an energy blast, pushing it back through the gate, and smacking District Attorneymon. "Why you little..." Lily replies, "Granddaughter of a total wiseass? Thank you!!" He enters into a frenzy of punching, which Lily bobs and weaves around. She even keeps her arms behind her back. Given about fifteen seconds to do a punching soliloquy, Lily ends the DA's frenzy by leaning back and handspring kicking him in the chest. He lifts up into the air about 70 feet and falls through the floor. Slowly he gets up, his suit torn up. He comments, "I don't how you could be so strong, yet only be at the Terra level. I'll have to tap that power with an oldie but goldie." He spreads his legs and takes a wide defensive formation.

"Bureaucratic Red Tape!!"

Hundreds of strands shoot out all around him on a path dead set for Lily. Lily takes out her spear.

"Mana Cloud!!"

The blades on the spear glow, as does a trail behind the ribbons on it, forming three rings in half a second, and then all you can see there is a white glowing globe. Shreds of red tape clutter the air, a blizzard of red snow. Slowed to bullet time, you can see Lily constantly moving and swinging the spear around her. Everything returns to normal time, and the light grows brighter, and the sphere swells. As it luminates more and more, the DA stops sending red tape and just falls to his knees in shock. The globe explodes, and the DA is lost in the light, burning away at him. As the light clears, District Attorneymon gimps from the wreckage, his expensive suit mostly tattered rags now, and what is left is soaked in blood. One part of his left arm has no skin left and major fourth degree burns all over it, and many isolated spots on him have second-degree burns. Thoroughly tired and hurt herself, a cracked rib, twisted ankle, some big cuts on her arms and legs, and a lot of deep major bruises (Mostly from the Legal Loophole attack), Lily props up on her spear. Lily looks at him and calls out, "Give it up, District Attorneymon. Your strength is obviously waning, and you are terrified of me. You aren't even a challenge to me anymore." The DA drops his jaw in shock at her words. In a way, she was right, he was beginning to weaken and was totally scared of her, but he knew she was no machine either, and would have to tire out herself sometime soon. District Attorneymon, "I call your bluff." Lily gains the look of surprise.

"Mistrial!!"

He turns completely black with a strobing red aura around him as dark powers grow all around him. A demonic skeleton laugh crackles in the air as the DA releases the raw evil in an attack. A ring of blackness surrounded in black fog extends out and swallows Lily, and the area. She screams as the attack envelops her. Then, in the second faze, dark bolts blast up from the Earth, causing the cool rocks hovering in air bit, and putting Lily in even greater agony. Lily thinks, "Anymore like this and I'm a goner. Why didn't do this from the start, unless he's going all for broke, hoping to end me, not even caring if it ends him too. He's lost it!!" The final phase begins, as an explosion starts that begins wiping out the whole palace. Lily goes, "I.... must..... fight back!!" She strains and grits her teeth as she suffers, reared back in pain.

"Atlas Bolt!!"

She leaps off the crumbling floor, becomes parallel to the floor, swinging her spear, does a 540 counterclockwise spin, and jabs her now glowing spear into the floor, remaining airborne by holding herself up on the end of the spear by her right arm, almost handstanding. The floor swells in a domed light around the spear, then a chain of explosions goes off across the floor towards District Attorneymon, and a blade of light protrudes up and grows as the chain advances. It strikes the DA dead on across the left side of his torso, his left leg, his left shoulder, and the left part of his face. It rode into him, and finally resolved. The horrored feeling that accompanied it broke District Attorneymon's focus and his attack resolved. After the smoke cleared, the palace was no more, not even rubble, and District Attorneymon had a gash from his left foot up to his shoulder, and across the left part of his head, and over his eye. All the skin in gone, visible in the cut a shining light, and his left eye shut, useless to him now.

"Atlas Bolt!!"

She speeds into him and swings her spear, each slash filled with energy, the DA burnt by energy trails, his body quaking with each blow, and after the energy trail passes, a chain of micro-explosions rock the new cut. She get two hits before kicking off him and stopping. They hover in the air. Lily goes, "It's over. You are too wounded to fight on." District Attorneymon hovers around and calls out, "I think not."

A couple of minutes earlier, in the other dimension, well, not technically a couple of minutes earlier. For all we know they could be a few minutes ahead of the story, a few days ahead, or severely lagging behind, because you have to take in the whole fourth dimensional aspec...... Trunks yells, "We get the general idea!!" You still here? Well, anyway, Ken, Izzy, and their kids. One is a woman named Yumi. She is Izzy's daughter in this world and a tech head like Izzy. Reminds you of Taban and Lucca in a sense, doesn't it? The other is Ken's son, Kenji. He.... Trunks, "Dammit, that guy looks like me!!" Hey, this is another universe. It's not my problem. Get over it. Oh, back to Kenji, who just happens to look like our friend Trunks here. He's a brainiac as well, a master of numbers. Kenji, "Ah ha, that's it. Someone wrote a one instead of a seven in the ten-trillionths place. Now it should work properly." Masato goes, "I kinda miss home. If Lewis was here, a two by four cracked over someone's head, a few wisecracks about Araiya, and a few minutes of dumbfounded idiocy and we would of been home yesterday." Sirenamon goes, "Well, you got to give him that much." She hears a siren and leaps behind the curtains. Masato goes, "You got to stop being so scared. So, you're the most wanted digimon in Japan. Soon, we'll be gone, and it'll all just go down in history as one of those unsolved mysteries." Yumi goes, "You can't live in terror because of this. So maybe you botched a little plan...." Karen, "More like totally f***** it up. Damn glory hog. 'My plan is so much better...' She couldn't plan her way out of a straight corridor with no obstacles without there being some big fiasco." Yumi blinks once in astonishment. "Okay, maybe she said it a little too colorfully, but you don't live here, and they can't follow you, so feel safe with that knowledge." Kenji goes, "Yeah, Sirenamon. The odds of someone spotting you, identifying you, and arresting you within the next 90 seconds are about 1 in 7.489 trillion, so nothing's going to happen." Sirenamon relaxes. What she doesn't know is that Davis is driving up in a cheap rental car, seeing her in the window. "Why that little...." Veemon asks, "Aren't you taking this a little overboard?" Davis goes, "Shut up and digivolve. You don't got a tank to save you this time." Moments later inside, Izzy talks to Mimi and Taichi, "Guys, I don't trust them being alone in some bleak future with a complex device of space-time manipulation. Go with them for their own protection." Then he calls Yumi over to him. "Yumi, I don't trust those two alone in a bleak future with that device. Go with them so they don't screw anything up, and for their own protection." Yumi has a confused look upon her face. "Okay....." Izzy remembers, "Wait, I remember something I want to give to Taichi and the others of their world. I made it a while back and never got the chance to give it to them. I should get it." Out of the blue, Sirenamon says, "Is it sunset already?" She looks behind her and sees Imperialflamedramon towering behind her. She starts screaming hysterically and narrowly evades his clutches reaching through the window and wall to grab her. "1 in 7.489 trillion my ass!! I'm getting outta here!!" She takes the Time Key and sets it up on the algorithm Kenji made, tracking Lily's signal. Sirenamon yells, "Time Gate, hurry the hell up!!" They all get warped away. Suddenly, Imperialflamedramn powers up.

"Positron Phaser!!"

The gate opens up just then, and then.... WOOSH!!! A giant flaming beam blazes through Izzy's house. Izzy, "Guys, here they are.... I didn't see this coming." After the attack resolves, Kenji, Ken, Karen, Izzy, Wormmon, and Tentomon and his tree stand there charcoal black and eyes wide open. A hole had been blasted all the way through his house. Ken, "Ow......" Izzy goes, "I guess they're gone." Davis goes, "Uh, my bad." He grimaces at what happened. A girl, Kenji's sister, Yui, sits on a couch, which only the back is charred. Yui, "Shhh...... I'm watching TV." They all fall over in an anime fall. Tentomon's tree combusts and crumbles into ashes. Tentomon, "My tree!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

Back in the bleak future, the gate opens on the grounds of the palace. Masato goes, "I guess Izzy hit the nail on the head." Yuuji calls out, "Who are they?" Mimi, "Don't ask me. This is my first time here." Sirenamon goes, "I don't know. I've never seen those two before, but I'm having second thoughts about opening that gate." Masato says, "Well, that woman up there must have both Lily's WCEDI and her pendant, and Paladin Lilymon's necklace, because I'm picking up all three on her." District Attorneymon looks down as Lily speaks. He thinks, "How? I killed them all!! Wait a second. That doesn't look like the Mimi Tachikawa I killed. Still, my key to victory." He points his hand at them and goes, "I think not." Lily goes, "Huh?" District Attorneymon, "Look down, Lily." She sees all of them, now looking up. Sirenamon goes, "You guys did hear that?" Masato, "Yeah, he just called her Lily, and that sounded like Lily's voice." Lotusmon goes, "Okay, now I'm confused." District Attorneymon shouts, "Move, and I toast them." Lily looks at the DA, and then at her friends. Lily says, "You're going to kill them even if I do as you say, so I'm just to get rid of them." The DA goes, "What the hell? You're the good guy!!" She turns at them.

"Delta Crash!!"

Mimi screams at the top of her lungs, "Ack, she's shooting at us!!" Yumi stares down the attack and says, "Wait. Look at how it glows, and the way it's moving. Stay where you are. Trust me." She thinks, "I should of brought Lunarmon with me." The attack detonated prematurely, blurring everything in a sea of white. The DA just looks down his eyes bulging open until the flash hits and he is forced to avert his eyes. When the light clears, they're gone. The DA frantically points between Lily and the spot in the ground where her friends were. "I have no leverage now....." Lily goes, "Basic standoff rule. When it seems like there is no way to end the standoff, shoot the hostages." He stays in shock until he realizes what he must do. Unknowing to him, instead of killing them, the others waited for the flash, then ran to safety inside an abandoned turret tower. District Attorneymon quotes, "You play hardball. I like to play hardball. You've stopped all my moves, but there is one more move I have that I'm sure will do you in. I learned it quite a while back from someone your granddaddy fought, but unlike him, I mastered it to the extent that I can now target a single individual as I see fit. If she was still around, you should ask Hikari about it. She's the only one to ever witness it twice." Lotusmon exclaims, "Ah, hell!! Not that....."

"ALPHA & OMEGA!!"

District Attorneymon charges up his power, the earth roars, almost like it is in pain. District Attorneymon begins to grow. Thunder rumbles across the sky, striking District Attorneymon but not fazing him. He stops at 7 miles tall. Masato goes, "What are you talking about, 'not again?'" Lotusmon is blasted with memories of before, the time trip back to 1969. The earth shatters open, and geysers of flames and magma rocket forth around Tokyo. Lotusmon goes, "This is the most powerful move, ever. Obliviomon was the first to use it. With it, destroying a whole planet was child's play to him. Hikari told me about it. You know the stories everyone told you about the fight with Obliviomon and Beelzebumon? Well, they don't remember the first fight. Only Hikari and Tailmon do, because they changed history." Masato goes, "What....." Lotusmon says, "In the first fight, the Digidestined had their heads handed to them on plates. Only one of the Three Power Nexuses worked, but not before Paladingreymon, Taichi, and Gabrielmon were obliterated by Obliviomon's first assault. She tried to fight, but then Jou, Neptune Zudomon, Daisuke, Imperialdramon, Dao Garurumon, Yamato, Ken, Grandkuwagumon, Thor Xaviomon, Araiya, and most of the others left the mortal coil by their hands, a game to those two. All that were left were Mimi, Lewis, Lilymon, Sora, Patriotaviamon, Miyako and Yolei, Hikari, and Tailmon. The digieggs of Urchinmon and myself had been brought along for we had sacrificed ourselves to wipe out the armies that the two released on us after beating Neo Spheremon. Not soon after, Mimi died too. Somehow, Hikari 'willed' herself back in time, tapping some sort of power, and then the rest is history." Agumon goes, "You said 1969. I'm wondering...." Lotusmon, "Yes, that's how Tailmon came in contact with LSD, but I'll tell you about that later. We need to get far away." They hop off the wall, and then they all jump on Lotomon. "I hope Lily does the sensible thing and runs." Taichi goes, "We have to help her!!" Lotomon goes, "Unless you're planning to pull a Power Nexus out your butt anytime soon, there's not much you can do. I may not know who he is, but for him to be able to use that move, he'd have to be an Omega digimon!!" Yuuji yells, "Omega!! Why doesn't anyone tell us these things?!!" Taichi goes, "In this world, you might need a Power Nexus, but we don't need one where we come from. You ready, Agumon?" Agumon, "I guess so." Mimi asks, "Lilymon?" Lilymon nods. They both go, "Then it's time for you to digivolve!!" Split screen:

(Remember the whole alternate universe factor.)

"Agumon Warp Digivolve to Wargreymon!!"

"Lilymon Warp Digivolve to Rosemon!!"

"Wargreymon Warp Digivolve to Atomicgreymon!!"

"Rosemon Warp Digivolve to Carnationmon!!"

"Atomicgreymon Excel Digivolve to Excelgreymon!!"

Standing in the place of Agumon is a 12 and half-foot tall humanoid figure with yellow hair and blue eyes, with form fitting armor all over him. On his head, he wears a silver helmet with visor sans the eye slits, but with a green gem on it instead. His knee-plating look like green Crests of Courage. On his back he wears a green cape emblazoned with a silver Crest of Courage. In his hands, he holds a deadly multi-edged sword called the 'Eclipse Sword.' Next to him, Carnationmon, is a Flower Nymph digimon about the same size and appearance as Lilymon, but without petals on her head, her hair much like Miyako's hair, wearing a cuirass around much of her torso, covering many of the areas a one piece swimsuit covers, with a chain mail suit under that. She wears boots just like Lilymon's, but has knee armor on the tops of the boots. On her forearms she wears metal armbands with pink carnation petals on the wrist ends. On her back is a long pink cape, and under that are four pink leaf wings. Excelgreymon goes, "Not bad for 18 years of retirement." Taichi says, "Buy her some time to get out of there!!" They both fly into the maelstrom floating about the palace walls, but are knocked away by the force. Excelgreymon, "What the?!! He's way more powerful than I thought!!" Carnationmon goes, "What's the deal?" Excelgreymon backs up a bit.

"Gaia Force!!"

He hits the maelstrom, but nothing happens. Just then, a battalion sweeps in to witness the mayhem when they spot them. Leader, "Amazing. Those guys weren't lying. No one has opposed him like this since Paladin Lilymon did 250 years ago!!! I don't worry though. He beat her, didn't he?" The group laughs. Officer, "Sir, unknown digimon are on the perimeter, and others outside, with rebels." Leader, "Kill them all. Use the CSD caplets first to wear them out, then mop them up." Officer, "Yes sir!!" He runs out and takes out 3 black capsules, 1 red capsule, and 1 gold capsule. "This should do." He throws them like dyno-caps and in a big 'BOM!!' there are 5 savage digimon. Officer, "Thank the DA for inventing Control Spire Digimon capsules. I haven't had to fight in ages!!" Yumi goes, "I heard a bom sound....." One of the digimon stands behind her. She looks over her shoulder and then freaks out. Excelgreymon, "That was Yumi!!! The others are in trouble!!" They fly back towards them when another officer throws another gold capsule and unleashes a flying digimon, along with his comrades shooting at him. Excelgreymon quickly at the beast and slices it in half. The officer says, "This guy's tough. Bring out 'Big Mama!!'"

Across the way, Lotomon was identifying the CSD's. "The three black capsules became Belial Vamdemons. The red capsule became an Atmamon, and the gold one is an Armageddongreymon!!" One of the Belial Vamdemons says, "Look, she knows our names. Oh well, time to die."

"Crimson Mist!!"

Masato and Yuuji, "Digivolve, now!!"

"Lotomon digivolve to Sunflowermon!!"

"Sirenamon Mega Digivolve to Undinemon!!"

Undinemon, "I'll clear this out!! Raging Typhoon!!" She summons a typhoon that washes away many troops and the mist. One of them goes to crush Undinemon, when Sunflowermon attacks.

"Splash Turrets!!"

She blasts a hole clean through one of them. Yumi, "Ehhh......." He vaporizes. Undinemon flips forward, then handsprings into the air.

"Fin Kick!!"

She jabs her fins into the gut of the second Belial Vamdemon. He screams out in pain. "Oh, shut up!!" She pulls back and lands on her hands with Belial Vamdemon on her tail fins, then springs up, flips, and lands with him hitting the ground first, and her tail and fins driven into him like a stake. She pulls back, flipping back, landing on her hands, and his momentum and her force slamming him into the hard ground knees first, destroying his kneecaps, then she flips forward, standing on him again, then forward again, landing on her hands again. She swings down with her tail half forcefully, and he lands neck first, the pressure so great his head goes shooting off into the distance, and then disintegrates. Yumi goes, "Brutal..." The last Belial Vamdemon looks in horror at Undinemon. Yuuji goes, "Let's hurry up so we can help Lily!!"

"Undinemon Warp Digivolve to Tidal Sirenamon!!"

She pounces off a dead tree, dodging his fist, and punctures him in the left shoulder with the trident. As she falls, she throws him over her shoulder, ripping out the left shoulder thing on him, and tossing him into Armageddongreymon. Belial Vamdemon rubs his head, "What the?"

"Seawolf Torpedoes!!"

They flew out forward in a storm of missiles, striking the ground up to him, where 8 of them hit him, all in a huge chain of blasts that started 20 feet in front of him. He goes poof. Sunflowermon says, "Maybe it's time for me to Terravolve. Lewis told me about Atmamon. Said even fully powered up, he posed a great challenge." Masato nods and answers, "Right. We will not be stopped!!"

"THE SHARD OF HONOR!!"

"Sunflowermon Terravolve to Valkyrie Lotusmon!!"

Yumi goes, "Is it just me, or is there an almost family resemblance between the two?" Mimi goes, "Who, Masato and Yuuji?" Yumi, "No, Valkyrie Lotusmon and Sirenamon." Taichi, "I don't know, but if there is, that'd be a new one, two related digimon working together." Yumi, "Almost like mother and daughter....."

"Deuterium Depth Charges!!"

"Atma Weapon!!"

The charges quelled some of the beam, but most of it still hit Tidal Sirenamon, her scream piercing the heavens. Valkyrie Lotusmon was terrified. "I'm coming for you!!" She flies at him, when he stops shooting Tidal Sirenamon. Slowly she falls down.

"Atma Crush!!"

He accelerates and head butts her into Valkyrie Lotusmon. She is thrown over her by the impact, hurtling uncontrollably towards Atmamon, and Tidal Sirenamon continues to sail across the air, until smacking into Masato and Taichi. All three lay there stunned, Tidal Sirenamon on top of them. Valkyrie Lotusmon, out of control, thinks, "He thinks I'm out. I got to use this to ambush him...." She flips more and more, and finally, she gets a glimpse of him from her nauseating view.

"Hydroponic Shower!!"

He is hit by her attack all over, exposing and creating giant red craters. He roars out, then says, "You shall pay for these wounds, one by one!!"

"Atma Claw!!"

He slashes into her, his claws stopped by her armor, but his claws left giant scratch marks in her armor, exposing her skin in those narrow slit areas. Her out of control tumble ends between his talons and head. "Just where I want you." Atmamon comments. Valkyrie Lotusmon asks him, "Are you sure this is where you want me?" Atmamon is bewildered. "What's that supposed to mean?" She takes out her axe, flicks her tail up, smacks it down, the force pushing her upper body up, and she swings her axe right down the middle to his neck. From his waist up, he stands in two pieces, his head on the right section. "Why you little!!" He exclaims, with an almost robotic voice. He stumbles about, but finally he falls over, exposing his red insides to the world, and goes boom. Armageddongreymon steps up. The Final Fantasy 7 Boss Battle theme plays in the background. "Heard an Armageddongreymon fought you guys once before. I learned from his mistakes, and this time, you don't have a Paladingreymon to save you!!" Valkyrie Lotusmon gasps at his announcement. Armageddongreymon though does not waste time, and bludgeons her with his morningstar, then leaps into the air wielding his jagged scimitar.

"Acheron's Thunder!!"

Black thunder crackles from the ground, coursing through Valkyrie Lotusmon, and to his sword, where he lands, and strikes, shocking her a second time. Armageddongreymon smirks and comments, "Is the little fish-girl hurt? You are too slow to react. You are making this almost too easy." He kicks her up like a hacky-sack, punching at the apex of her ascent, and he does this a few times, then bicycle kicks her behind him, and into the human troops, who start shooting and clubbing her. "Have fun."

Over by the palace walls, the troops roll out `Big Mama.' One of them runs out and quickly activates her. In a similar `Bom!!' a giant creature which resembles Lavos from Chrono Trigger, but had six bony spike legs all around her, a skeletal three-eyed lizard head, as big as a city block, and 12 black digicores around her. The officer reads her profile, "She is Rakshasamon, the Omega Demon Beast Digimon. Reversed engineered and corrupted from cells of the now deceased Zhuqiaomon, Southern Holy Beast, she feeds on pure darkness. No one has ever inflicted harm on her, and I'll even pay good money to see someone try." Excelgreymon looks at her. "I feel a great deal of pity for these kids. I mean, they have to fight Omega digimon on a regular basis, and only three digimon can reach Omega, and I don't see them anywhere." Yuuji goes, "Will, Excelgreymon, will. He hasn't made this yet in our time." Excelgreymon, "Sorry. I keep forgetting this is the future, not the present. Still, we got to stop her, and Carnationmon and myself are the only ones capable of that task, so I better shut up and do it then." Rakshasamon stares at the two and asks in growling banshee voice, "Food for me? I like tough meals!!" Carnation blinks twice and exclaims, "She thinks we're food. That thing thinks we're food!!" Excelgreymon goes, "Well, it's possible. I mean, done right, you'd make a mean salad, and I....." Before he can finish she bops him over the head with a hard hammer punch, knocking his helmet off. "Shut up, Excelgreymon!! That's just sick!!" Taichi yells, "Would you two stop bickering and stop that thing!!" Rakshasa sets her sights on them.

"Heavenly Destruction!!"

She launches some of the spikes on her shell into the sky, and they crash down blazing into Carnationmon and Excelgreymon. The spikes send the both foreign digimon to the ground. Slowly, Carnationmon climbs out first, holding her cut cheek. Carnationmon looks pissed. In the background, `No Leaf Clover' plays.

"Explosive Rose!!"

She throws three roses into Rakshasamon, all landing on her shell, exploding with tremendous force, but doing no damage to her. The officer yells, "You can't hurt her shell, you fools!!" Carnationmon dashes in and gives a flurry of kicks to Rakshasamon's head, but none of it appears to slow the monstrosity down. Rakshasamon quotes, "Such a petty thing, wasting its energy. It will be my appetizer!!" Her mandible splits apart, throwing saliva everywhere. A glow shines from the back of her throat, and lightning surges pass from the fang on each of the two pieces of mandible and the hookbill on her maxilla, colliding in the center to make a ball. "Maybe I should get out of here." Carnationmon comments. She tries to fly, but find a vacuum-like pull is in the air, keeping her from flying, so she ran as fast as she could, but was not making it very far. "Maybe if I can stun her...." She turns at Rakshasamon while still running.

"Flower Cannon!!"

The shot hits the ball in her jaw, but just pings off and hits an old building. "What the hell is she?" The final sequences begin in her throat.

"Mammon Might!!"

In an instant, the beam reached the orb, and was absorbed into the jewel. Carnationmon looks over her shoulder, grimaces and utters, "This won't be pretty." Then she runs some more. The officer laughs at her with a squeamish delight. The beam fires, only as thick a broomstick, and races across the ground towards Carnationmon, causing explosions in it's wake, much like Lily's Atlas Bolt or the primary weapon of the Obselisk from `Gundam: 08th MS Team.' She looks over her shoulder to see the inevitable, the beam was closing rapidly. The officer continued to laugh. Finally, it caught up to her. Everything seemed to go white. The beam ran down her back, her cape gone in a second. The heat of the beam was enough to melt and/or evaporate much of her armor, and across her back, even sublime the tough metal. Her hair was cut in half as the beam moved forward. Her wings ignited into flames and fell off. The beam progressed further, but because of her position as she fell, her head avoided injury from the beam. She laid there unable to move, the nubs that were her wings and a stripe down her back spill her blood. Excelgreymon worked his way out of the rubble from the first attack, only to be greeted by the beam. He attempts to fly away, but his cape is ensnared in the debris. The beam closes, vaporizing his cape, and then melted the seat of his armor, but lucky for him, the cape ripped more, and his centripetal force sent him turning to the left, which is the side still snared. As he whiplashes out, the beam runs over the back of the knee and the calve muscle of his left leg, utterly destroying the armor there and leaving a nasty gash. The beam continued across and struck the lower area of his lower leg and his ankle, tearing up the armor and his flesh, but not as bad as his left leg. His cape finally rips and he goes barreling across the ground. Rakshasamon does not stop there. Her beam makes a turn to the right and thrashes Valkyrie Lotusmon. The men around her are vaporized, and most of her armor is vaporized, leaving only a small chunk of armor over her chest and her left shoulder plates, and left her with a deep red lash over her abdomen. She arcs the beam back to the left, and goes for Tidal Sirenamon. Taichi, "Get down!!" He knocks Masato and Tidal Sirenamon down, just avoiding the beam, but a few strands of Taichi's hair combusts. "Ack, my hair is on fire!! Stop, drop, roll!!" He manages to snuff the flames in his hair. The beam continues on, hits a few more troops, runs across the walls of the palace grounds, toppling them, and then she arcs it back to go in for a second run on Carnationmon when Excelgreymon rolls her clear. "I must.... stop this beam!!!" He puts his hands out and cups the beam, holding it back. Quickly it is subliming his gauntlets. He starts pushing it back, advancing towards Rakshasamon. The officer stops laughing and looks at him in shock. "No one has ever been able to push back Rakshasamon's Mammon Might!!" His gauntlets gone and skin a mere memory, Excelgreymon continues to force back the attack with his hands. He gets face to face with her, some of the bone in his hands showing, he says to her, "I believe you lost something." He holds the beam with his left hand as he draws the Eclipse Sword with his right.

"Omni Slash!!"

He dices her fangs and the orb to pieces. Without the orb, the raw unfocused power is expelled. Excelgreymon leaps away, but the shockwave is too great, and he ends up riding the wave into the ground. All seems serene in that area. Carnationmon reverts to Palmon. Mimi runs out to her and holds her. "Palmon, are you okay?" Palmon, still half-conscious, says, "I'll give you three guesses, and yes is the wrong answer." Excelgreymon slowly gets up, gritting his teeth as he has to use his skinned hands to push himself up. Rakshasamon's head and neck were gone. "Something's not right. She should of decompiled by now......" The twelve digicores swirl around, and her carapace spreads, much like a Bloomin' Onion at an Outback restaurant. The officer goes, "Ah, hell. He pissed her off. Men, evacuate the city!!" They all start running frantically around, herding anyone and everyone away. Dark energy pours into the spiked shell. Red glows light up in between the invincible spikes.

"Shower of Damnation!!"

Red flares shot in to the sky. Black beams like her Mammon Might beam emanate from all 12 of her black digicores, but unlike the precision movements of that attack, these beams moved about randomly. The red flares rained onto the city, the whole area, and death from above with no particular target. Mimi yells, "She's going to kill us all!!" Yumi grabs her and says, "Hold on a moment...." The beams raged across the earth, tearing it up. Peoples' screams silenced in a moment of light. After a minute, the area filled with dust, and nothing more. Moments later, the ash blew away. Excelgreymon looked around. "You missed." True to Excelgreymon's word, Rakshasamon had hit everything EXCEPT them. The officer, the only other survivor, smacks his forehead. "That was... anticlimactic. If any real life situation demanded canned laughter, this would be it. Dammit, Rakshasamon, I'm in charge of you, and it'll be my ass for all this!! You... You... You... You blew up Tokyo, and you still completely missed the target!! You stupid...." He kicks her shell, but breaks his toes on it. Excelgreymon looks inside the shell and says, "I'm going to finish it." The Foo Fighters' `There Goes my Hero' plays in the background. He walks inside the shell, cutting through tough meat and mucus, walking into the heart of her to find a succubus-like figure bound in nerves, tissue, and giant synapses. The figure, speaking with the same voice as Rakshasamon, yells, "Sacrilege!! How dare you enter my body!!" Giant white blood cells fly in, but their antibodies bounce off Excelgreymon's armor. He slashes through them, but more come to assail him. Before he knows it, his whole body is covered in the pesky giant microbes, but he keeps advancing. A wall of muscles close in front of the woman.

"Omni Slash!!"

He breaks through the muscle wall, as the killer T-cells try to dissolve him. The woman screams, "Impossible!!" She shoots out a pair of eye beams at him. They burn into his chest, and a small nuclear explosion rips through her insides. On one knee, Excelgreymon still stands, despite the fact you can clearly see two holes through him. He slowly gets back up, and moves in. The inner being inside Rakshasamon gapes at him with one part astonishment, one part horror. Excelgreymon yells, "You will kill no more!! Ultimate End!!" He moves in an unseeable fury all around her, then drives his sword into her chest while standing on her, impaling the sword diagonally down through her chest. Everything started to turn white. Cracks ran through the woman's face. Just then, the body explodes. Excelgreymon looks all around her insides and sees nothing but white, with blinding cracks ripping open all over. From the outside, white cracks shoot across her outside, lighting the dark clouds in the sky. Taichi yells, "Get down!!" Rakshasamon then explodes, white pieces of her flying everywhere. Ten seconds later, the light fades, and Excelgreymon stands there, his back to the rest. "It's over." He falls to his knees, and reverts to Koromon. The officer is babbling incoherently and whimpering. "You... Y.... Ya.... Y.... You beat Rakshasamon!!" Sirenamon goes over to him and shouts, "Oh shut up!!" and floors him with an uppercut. Masato calls out, "Algaemon!!" Everyone turns to look at the digimon, still laying there with the slash Rakshasamon's Mammon Might gave her, her blood staining the ground around the area she lies. Algaemon looks at Masato, saying to her, "It's not too bad, if you can get me to a decent medical facility in time. The same can be said about Palmon over there. I know one thing for sure. This is going to leave one gnarly scar." Masato smiles.

Inside the dark field while the others fought, the DA has been charging up. "Now, reap the whirlwind!!" Lily yells, "Never!!" flying up him, her spear in her left hand, behind her.

"Atlas Bolt!!"

As she ascends, she draws the spear out in front, then slashes diagonally up and to the left as she ascends, forming a giant cut in his chest, and making an X with the previous wound on the lower left area of his torso. She draws back to hit him again when one of the beams from Rakshasamon makes it through the field of darkness and strikes her hand, making her drop her spear. He begins his swing. "I gotta get the spear!!" She dive bombs ahead of his fist. She manages to grab the spear in time, and looks up. "I must do this.... for the world!!" Lilymon's crystal glows, as does her pendant. The ground around her turns white, and is reborn. Spheres of light fly up, like teardrops falling backwards. Her spear, her clothes, and even her body glows. All that remains visible in the whiteness are her eyes.

"Hope's Avatar!!"

She swings her spear in her left hand diagonally in a clockwise 360 spin, angel feathers flying from the light, then upon completion of the 360, she raises her spear straight into the air over her head. The DA's fist rams straight into her spear. His dark power is quickly annulled, light streaming down his veins and components in his left arm, and up through his veins. His left arm starts to crack open, white light pouring out. His left arm explodes in a white bang, and from Lily a white beam pierces the heavens. Lily continues to hold the spear in the air, and the ground rose from the sky. The earth cracked open, beams of light rained into the sky, and from her screamed out a wave of light. Outside, the dark barrier cracked open. The others watched as it vaporized and were overtaken in the wave. Quickly, the wave overtook Tokyo. From space, it seemed as though the attack split Japan in half. Sirenamon utters, "Are we dead?" Slowly, things returned to normal. Yumi goes, "No. Still alive." Lily stood there in the clearing, District Attorneymon, back to normal size, lying in front of her. The DA asks, "How could I lose? This is mathematically impossible!! I'm an Omega. You're a Terra. I should of easily beaten you!!" He sees white cracks spread over him. "Alas, I am slain." The cracks spread, and swell up, and finally he is blasted to pieces. Lily looks down at that spot. "Ashes to ashes, District Attorneymon." Masato goes, "Did we just see that? Lily beat Attorneymon!!" Sirenamon, "No, she just beat him in his Omega level form!!" Silence takes control for a moment, then Lily remembers her friends. Lily asks, "Masato, Yuuji, how'd you get here?" Yuuji goes, "Would you believe amateur time travel?" Lily goes, "Right now, I'd believe anything. Let's go home." Yuuji looks at the device and attempts to use it, but to no avail. Yumi says, "It's low on power. It'll need to recharge." Lily remembers Paladin Lilymon's request, `West of here, atop Mt. Fuji, is the Gaia Temple, where Mimi was laid to rest. Take my necklace and visor there and the priests will speak to you.' Lily says, "I know of another way. We're going to Mt. Fuji."

Slowly they start their odyssey. `Dark World' from Final Fantasy 3 plays in the background as they trek over the blowing wastelands. Two days later, still in her Terra form, walks into the temple. A monk in green robes walks to her, but then sees Lilymon's necklace and asks, "How did you acquire this?" Lily says, "I am Lily Fallon, granddaughter of Lilymon. District Attorneymon killed her, and she told me to show you these." She hands them the necklace and the visor. The monk says, "These are genuine, and the necklace reacts to you positively. You speak the truth. Come." They all enter to a temple adorned in gardens with monks and priests tending them, and many people, most of which are Digisapiens, roam about. The priest says, "This is the Gaia Temple, a place built after the First Terra was slain. We pray to the nature spirits daily hoping for an end to the madness District Attorneymon has unleashed. We also hold the body of Miss Tachikawa in the Main Hall, where we are going." He leads them to a giant structure, where priests sit silently meditating. "This also became a place of hiding for many Digisapiens when the DA began his own variation on the `Final Solution,' hoping to eradicate the whole race, for he was not willing to chance another rising up with the power he so dreaded, the means to unleash Megami. Many of these people owe their lives to one digimon who bought so many to run sham munitions companies for the DA, while secretly bringing them here. Masato looks over and calls out, "Safiirumon!!" Standing in robes was he, but now he was a battered, scarred, malnourished digimon. He says, "I could of saved more......" The monk says, "It wasn't long ago that the DA learned of what he was doing. He was tortured, imprisoned, then beaten and left for dead. We found him, but his ordeal cost him his sanity. He did accomplish something before he delved into madness." They enter a chamber where Mimi laid in a glass chamber, perfectly preserved, looking as though she was asleep rather than dead. "He made a time travel gate based off of calculations he made over the years. He had wanted to go back and prevent the disaster that happened when you vanished. He completed it, but never told a soul how to work it, and now it sits here gathering dust." Yumi goes, "Let me take a look. Maybe I can get it to work."

Back in the past, Safiirumon overhears Attorneymon speaking to Malachimon. Attorneymon, "Okay, Thanatomon, what is first on the agenda?" Thanatomon says in his voice, "Shut up, dipstick. As long as I'm in this body, refer to me as Malachimon. Someone may hear you." Attorneymon goes, "Well, then shouldn't you use her voice then. Someone may hear you." Thanatomon says, "Well, hey, don't change the subject. Do you know how difficult it is being a guy and using that feminine tone? It's just odd. Bad enough I'm having to use this delicate body." Attorneymon remarks, "Okay then, Malachimon, what do you want to do?" Thanatomon says, "Well, Obliviomon wants the Digidestined out of the way." Attorneymon goes, "I can do that." Thanatomon adds, "No. In terms of power, you are evenly matched. Obliviomon wants you to find the weak links and get rid of them." Attorneymon queries, "Well, then are we going to beat the Digidestined?" Thanatomon says, "We need someone or something that'd give us an edge. Call Metzger up here." Safiirumon's eyes are wide open. "That's not right!! It's like a demon has possessed Malachimon's body!!" He turns on a com system. Safiirumon, "Lance, meet me in Serenity. I have some very bad news."

In a cafe in the heart of the city, two hours later, Lance and Safiirumon meet. Lance asks, "What is this news?" Safiirumon says, "Well, first off, I saw Malachimon and Attorneymon together." Lance is shocked. "Wha...!!" Safiirumon, "I don't it was Malachimon's idea though. I saw her talk to him, and when she first spoke, it was a man's voice speaking. What clenched it was that Attorneymon called her `Thanatomon' when he first spoke to her." Lance says, "I heard of Thanatomon. He was one of Neo Apocalymon's last Overlords. How could he be in her?" Safiirumon goes, "I'm not sure, but recently she's been wearing a strange red ring on her finger." Lance, "That must be it. Thanatomon's data must be in that ring, and it's suppressing Malachimon. We must find a way to stop her." Safiirumon goes, "I knew I should of told you. I suggest laying low. If Thanatomon is taking advise from Attorneymon, then he may use this opportunity to lynch us and get rid of Malachimon's loyal followers. I propose we begin a secret rebellion, one that we could use at one point to perform a coup, and hopefully free Queen Malachimon from his control." Lance says, "It's agreed. Get your Valkyries and meet me in Sienna Grove west of here." Lance is thinking, "Attorneymon..... First me, now her. You want to destroy everyone, don't you?" They pay the check for the food they ordered and walk out. Outside, Metzger walks around in a cloak. Metzger mutters, "Is that Lance and Safiirumon?" He looks over again and they have vanished into the bustling crowds. "Must be my imagination." He runs over the area with a device, when it starts to beep rapidly. "Yes, there is still viable cellular residue from both Tamiko and his Agumon. Thanato.... I mean Malachimon will be happy with this!!" A blade slides out the bottom of his left wrist, and he saws out the chunk of sidewalk and walks away into the shadows.

Laomon sits on the cliffside where Jou's EDI landed, and looks out. "Is this all a cruel joke? Was I meant to destroy all those I cared about? I can't let anyone else get hurt by me ever again. I'm sorry Vulcan Lilymon. I'm sorry you'll never see your sister again." She walks to the edge and spreads her arms, ready to jump, when Gomamon walks up. "Laomon?" She stops and looks back. "Stay back!! I can't anyone else get hurt, so I'm just going to go away." Gomamon intervenes, "No, Laomon. You can't. Leaping off is only a cowardly out of dealing with your past. You must keep your hope." Laomon goes, "What, so I can just be a pariah for the rest of my life?!" Gomamon goes, "Stop it, Laomon. You're letting your guilt overpower you. You have something many others wish they had; another chance. Think of how many others will cry for you if you take your life. Keep the faith. Sure, Attorneymon owned you as though you were a puppet. Now your destiny is back in your hands once again. This is only the beginning of history, Laomon. Think of those who would miss you, and be disappointed: Mai, Lilymon, the Holy Beasts, your neighbors, your sister, me. Do something to amend your past. Make them proud. I have to go on as well, but do you see me leaping from cliffs? No. I still have something to live for." Laomon says, "What's that?" Gomamon, "My friends. Since my friend and partner have passed on, I plan to continue Gennai and Mai's work where they left off. It's the only way I know how to help now. You think about what I said." He starts to walk off, Laomon looking at the setting sun. A minute later, she approaches Gomamon. "Is there a way I can help?"

They are in Gennai's house, moving his stuff out. Laomon narrates, "Attorneymon knows of this place. I know of a safer place. I have a house in town. We can work from there." Laomon takes one last walk around the empty house in the lake. "So long, Mai. I will make you proud of me, okay." She leaves and heads to shore. Gomamon asks, "You sure you want to do this?" Laomon nods and answers, "It's the only way." She turns and shoots an energy blast at the house, blowing it up. Gomamon, "Let's go." She looks at the spot one last time, then lays a bundle of flowers on the spot where Mai's ashes lay, then follows Gomamon back to her house.

Yumi puts the panel back on top of the console. "I figured it out. Quite ingenious." Suddenly, the building quakes. Bricks start falling from the roof. Yumi yells, "All the fighting that happened earlier must have upset the fault lines!!" Lily comments, "We have to save these people!!" Yumi walks over to the console and sets up the Time Gate. Lily goes, "I said we have to save these people. We can't just leave them!!" The monk says, "This is a very bad quake. This may very well be your only chance to go home." Lily asks, "But what about you?" The monk comments, "If you go back and stop Attorneymon, none of this will have ever happened, and we all would be better off. Go!!" He pushes her through, with the rest following. The monk then looks up and sees one of the pillars toppling towards him. "Oh no!!"

In the back yard, Lewis and the others search for clues to the time gate, and Iori drives up. Suddenly, in the sky, he sees a cloud ring appear. "What the...." Lewis hears him, then there is a flash. Everyone runs to the front to see Lily and the others slowly descend to the ground. Lewis goes, "Hey, it's Yuuji and Masato!!" Lily lands before them. Lewis goes, "Who are you?" Lily says, "I'm finally back home." She reverts to normal and collapses into Lewis' arms. "Lily?" Taichi looks up and goes, "Why I'll be. It's my double from that other dimension, and Mimi's too!!" Masato goes, "We need to get Palmon and Algaemon to the hospital now!!" Takeru goes, "I'll get 911!!" He runs inside to the phone. Lilymon takes Lily in her arms and kisses her forehead. "Oh, Lily. I thought I had lost you. Welcome home."

"What is Thanatomon's evil plan? Will Palmon and Algaemon make it? Where was Iori this whole time? Can Lily go two for two? Find out in Bloodline: Chapter 11 - The Birth of Yuumei Omnimon!!"
