Digimon Seekers Chapter 4-12: Birth of the Source Digimon

Leave a comment

I finally caught up. Work got crazy, but I finally found some time to catch up. I want to thank everyone who’s been reading my version. I hope I did okay. Make sure you always read the original. I am done for now, but we’ll see what they announce on Digimon Day.

If you enjoyed this project, please leave a like, comment, and share this with your friends. Don’t forget to follow the socials!

Fenriloogamon and Kazuchimon watch as Dorugoramon’s body breaks and melts into an unrecognizable blob of liquid. It wriggles painfully as it continues to download the massive amounts of data from the Source Digimon.

They jump into the air. Fenril readies his hellfire blades, and Kazuchimon’s lighting blades release hot static as they watch what is left of Dorugoramon disappear below them.

“It’s like the time we Digivolved into Helloogarmon,” Eiji says.

They continue to watch in silence as the blob continues to mutate, rebuilding and reforming itself into something entirely alien. Into a new type of Digimon.

A menacing metallic dragon rises from the corpse of Dorugoramon. Thick black and purple metal plates cover its body. Its sharp claws dig into the earth as it makes its first stretch in life, testing its limits. It straitens its body and expands its wings to reveal its entire gargantuan form. Its massive tail crashes behind it, leaving behind a deep impression of the impact. The Digimon turns its head towards the Digimon above it and gives a sinister smile of fangs that glisten brighter than its armor.

DexDorugoramon

“Impressed?” the professor asks mischievously. “I’ve used data from the Source Digimon to force one last digivolution. What you see is a product of Death-X-Evolution. This is DexDorugoramon, the DigiCore Predator!”

“Death-X? Predator?” Eiji asks, trying to piece it all together. 

“It eats other Digimon?” Leon adds. 

Before they could say another word, DexDorugoramon flaps all ten of its wings, creating a torrent of damp, sickly air that swirls around the Source Domain. 

Eiji studies the strange new Digimon below him and notices its pained movements. Something was off. This was no longer Kosuke’s partner. 

“What did you do to Dorumon?!” Eiji shouts. 

“Fascinating! Do you notice something special about this Digimon Mr. Nagasumi?”

Eiji struggles to formulate an answer. None of the reports on his screen produce any helpful information. “Are..are those multiple Digicores?” he finally blurts out. 

“Exactly!” You’ve got keen Eyes. Now why would a Digimon have multiple Digicores?” the professor continues as if giving a lecture. 

“You didn’t answer my question!” Eiji demands. 

The professor sighs. “Dorumon is safe. All its major functions have been paused, but it’s in there. Death-X-evolution offers DexDorugoramon new life as an Undead type, a Digimon that survives by making use of the Digicores of others.”

“Like a zombie?” Eiji lets out. 

“More like the perfect zombie. This creature has consumed and stored the data of countless others, and it is bursting at the seams. The only thing holding it together is the armor, and can hardly keep up. Isn’t it marvelous?” The professor explains gleefully. “Death-X-evolution is a digivolution en route to death.”

“Dorumon is dying?”

“You’re missing the point! DexDorugoramon is now the closest to the Source Digimon. This is the purest expression of digivolution!” The professor cackles as he admires his discovery. “This is my masterpiece!”

METAL IMPULSE

Fenriloogamon and Kazuchimon attempt to jump out of the way, but the attack is too swift. It connects with Fenriloogamon. Eiji feels the shockwave of agony run down his body. He almost passes out from the pain. Around him, the monitors flash with errors and warnings. 

“So this is just a third of the Source Digimon’s power?” Eiji mutters in despair. 

Hellfire clings to the earth surrounding Fenriloogamon. It slowly loses its vigor. Fenriloogamon had erected a wall of fire in a futile attempt to stop the attack, but the flames had no effect. This creature before them was too powerful. 

“If he manages to fully decrypt the source code, it’s game over,” Eiji manages to say. 

“No kidding,” Loen responds. Both friends brace for the next attack. 

“I should mention that the creature isn’t even under my control anymore,” the professor says smugly as he raises his hands over his head. “DexDorugoramon is completely autonomous, acting on its own insticts. Isn’t it phenomenal! Now all I need is your Loogamon and Ryudamon to make it complete.”

DORU-Din

The attack makes no sound as it erases a piece of the source domain. Eiji turns to find a section of the stone circle missing and begins to panic. “This is real bad!”

“How..?” Leon tries to find words to respond but can’t. The Digimon’s quick reflexes allowed them to dodge the attack, but there was no guarantee they could do it again. 

“You have to get out of here Eiji,” Leon says sternly. 

“What are you talking about?” Eiji snaps. 

“If DexDorugoramon Eats you and Fenriloogamon, it’s all over.” 

Eiji knew Loen was right, but he wasn’t ready to let himself sacrifice himself again.

“You’re afraid too Leon, I can hear it in your voice.”

Leon flashes a nervous smile. “This whole thing is scary.” 

“Leon..”

“I’ve made up my mind. You searched for me until you found me, so I’m going to fight to protect you.”

“No!” Eiji shouts. Fenriloogamon’s fur begins to stand. 

“What?”

“I’m not waiting around helplessly while I lose you again.”

Fenriloogamon lets out a howl that shakes the entire Source Domain. DexDorugoramon’s wings perk up at the sound. 

“You ready Leon?” Fenriloogamon turns to Kazuchimon. Leon hesitates for a moment as good memories of the professor hit him suddenly. He lets out a sad sigh as he shakes them away. “I guess there’s no talking you out it.”

Kazuchimon transforms into a massive blade of lightning. 

FUSION

Character design/illustration illustrator: malo

Fenriloogamon: Takemikazuchi stares down DexDorugoramon. Blue flames and green sparks jump from its body, scorching at the world around it. It clutches at its magical sword as it braces for its final battle.

So this is how much you’ve come to despise me?” the professor asks in a last-ditch effort to earn sympathy. 

“You’ve gone too far. I cannot hold my head high and live with pride until I’ve bested you,” they reply. 

Warning lights begin to flash around Eiji. There was nothing they could do. It was all or nothing now. 

“So be it,” the professor bellows. “I’ll consume you all. Your efforts, your dreams, your future, its all going to be meaningless!”

DexDorugoramon’s wings open and form a massive maw, ready to consume Fenriloogamon. “I will crush you!”

“Shut up!” the shout as Fenriloogamon redies its blade for one final strike. In a flash that was faster than light, they disappeared. 

Ultimate War Blade Takemikazuchi!

The End

Digimon Seekers Chapter 4-11: Fenriloogamon Appears

I know I am very late, but it’s been a busy season for me. I’ll try to finish this up as soon as I can. Make sure you always read the original. If you enjoy this project, please leave a like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends.

Fenriloogamon

Fenriloogamon drops from the Digivolution light onto all fours. The atmosphere around its body burns from its heat. Each mighty paw leaves behind a molten print as it sparks into an unextinguishable blue flame. Bright blue fur spills Brom between its platinum armor that rattles elegantly with each step. Fenriloogamon’s tail wags as it turns its attention to the professor. 

“Here I am, Professor. I’m finally part of the club,” Eiji and Fenriloogamon taunt in unison. They stare down at the professor with a hungry determination. 

“Remarkable,” the professor lets out. “I never thought your desire to save Leon would be enough to trigger your mega Digivolution. You are full of surprises Mr. Nagasumi.” He chuckles. 

“Aren’t friends important to you?”

“I don’t see a need. People are either useful or they aren’t. Why complicate things further?”

“So that’s all we were to you? Useful?”

“Very,” the professor says with a smirk. “Which reminds me. I still owe you a fat bonus.”

“How fat?”

“Don’t tell me you’re reconsidering my offer?” Ryusenji jests. 

“Nah, there’s nothing to consider. I already know the type of person you are.” Inside Fenriloogamon’s Digicore, Eiji looks over his monitors. He examines the readouts before cracking his knuckles. “We’re going all out bud,” he says to Fenriloogamon. 

Fenriloogamon leaps into the air, unleashing a mighty roar that shakes the Source Domain.

RAGNAROK HOWLING!

Yulin watches Fenriloogamon charge toward the professor. She felt safe behind the pillars and slabs that surrounded her. The Tyrannomon that brought her here stands nearby with an unconscious Ryudamon at its feet. A second Tyrannomon carefully lowers Pulsemon and Black Agumon on the ground nearby.

Kosuke rides in on the third liming Tyrannomon. He gives it a gentle pat on the head as he gets off and begins limping towards Black Agumon.

“Kosuke…” Yulin lets out.

Kosuke limps past her and drops in front of Black Agumon. “Forgive me,” he makes out weakly. “Your warning wasn’t about the Source Domain. It was about Ryusenji.” Kosuke clutches his fist tightly.

“What’s in your hand?”

“I’m here to put an end to it,” he says as he reaches towards the Black Agumon. Yulin can make out the syringe in his hand. Black Agumon stares back with an unchanging blank expression.

“I can’t hear Dorumon anymore…he took everything from me..If only..” his voice trails.

“Snap out of it Kosuke!” Yulin says sternly. “At least wait to see what the kid can do.”

Fenriloogamon burns a pale blue in the distance.

Fenriloogamon releases a searing shockwave towards Dorugoramon. The attack sends Dorugoramon skidding several meters back. Fernriloogamon readies its next attack, leaping through the air until it was directly overhead. It rains down fiery beams from its limbs. 

JOTUNHEIMR GALE!

Kosuke turns towards the battle for the first time since it started. “I don’t believe it.” Kosuke watches in amazement. “The kid actually did it.”

“It’s easy when you’ve got nothing to lose.” Yulin interjects.

“He’s fighting for his friend. That’s not nothing.” Kosuke follows the fight carefully. “He’s always been determined to be on the winning team.”

“You used to be like that, once,” Yulin says as she moves closer to Kosuke.

“Maybe I was,” he says quietly.

“We were all like that once. Now, we just have to do what we can.” Yulin places her hand gently on his shoulder.

Kosuke looks over to her and smiles. “Thank you. I needed to hear that.” He lets out a sigh as he tightens his grip around the syringe.

A blinding pillar of light shoots up from the center of the stone pillar, pulling Durogramon and Fenriloogamon’s attention from the battle.

“What was that?” the professor asks.

“Eiji,” Fenriloogamon calls out. “It’s them!”

The light begins to pulse.

“Did he?” Eiji looks down to search for Kosuke, but there was no sign of him or the Tyrannomon. “He must have administered the Medicine.” The beam turns a familiar warm yellow hue. “LEON! PULSEMON! COME BACK!” They shout.

Leon lays lifelessly in his bed. Wires and tubes run from various machines into his body. A sudden jolt wakes one of the monitors as it fills with unusual activity as the Digimon Linker on Leon’s wrist flickers to life.

The pillar of light fades. Suddenly a bolt of lightning jumps from the center of the stone circle.

“Pulsemon!” Eiji cries with joy.

“Sorry we’re late.” Pulsemon and Leon say at once. “You look…different.”

“Leon? Is it really you?”

“Who else would it be?” they answer.

“Isn’t this sweet?” Ryusenji interjects.

“Professor?” they turn to the silver dragon now staring down at them. “Why are you inside Dorugoramon?”

“I’m here to stop Eiji and the rest of the Sons of Chaos,” the professor explains sheepishly.

“You’re fighting Eiji?”

“He betrayed us Leon. He’s siding with the enemy. They’re trying to destroy the Digital World.”

“Don’t listen to him Leon! He’s the bad guy, not us.”

Leon and Pulsmon look around them. They take in the strange new scenery. Their talon scratches at their chin as they continue to process. They nod suddenly and let off a snap. A spark flashes and consumes their body as they Digivolve.

When the sparks fizzle out, Kazuchimon stands between the Eiji and the Professor.

Kazuchimon

“How..how is that possible?” Yulin asks, watching the new Kazuchimon spring to life. “He was DMIA.”

“The recovery medication was originally designed to extend the amount of time someone can be mindlinked.” Kosuke watches in amazement. “The drug worked.” He had done all he could do.

“Remember Leon. Remember what he did to you. He’s made his choice. Now join me and help me defeat him.”

“Don’t listen to him, Leon. He’s using you!” Eiji yells as he watches Kazuchimon swing around to stand beside Dorugoramon. Kazuchimon begins collecting electrical energy in its fists.

SHINDEN SHOURAIKO!

Kazuchimon releases the energy in a powerful strike, exploding with powerful force against its unsuspecting target. 

Kosuke lets out an anguished scream as he falls to the ground in pain. 

Dorugoramon’s arm smolders. Black fumes rise from the wounds. “Leon?” Ryusenji lets out. “Why?”

“You didn’t bring me back professor,” they respond. “Tartarus did.” They release a flurry of blows, each one connecting violently against the silver dragon. Dorugarmon falls to the ground and the attacks stop. “And it was Eiji who came after us.

“Leon!” Eiji exclaims. 

Kazuchimon rushes to Fenriloogamon’s side. “It’s hard to explain…but we heard the whole thing.” 

Eiji smiles. “So you’re saying you’re siding with us Code Crackers?”

“Kazuchimon smiles. “Never.” It draws its lightning blade and points it at the professor. 

“You’re making a huge mistake Leon!” The professor shouts. 

“So be it.”

“We’ve got your back,” Eiji and Fenriloogamon say as they move next to Kazuchimon. The two Digimon ready for their next attack.

Kazuchimon and Fenriloogamon open up a private channel.

“Hey Leon…” Eiji says sadly.

“Don’t worry about it.” they reply before Eiji can apologize.

“Give up quietly professor,” Kazuchimon commands.

The professor cackles. “This is my domain now. You don’t stand a chance!” A tree diagram splits the sky above them.

“What’s going on?” Leon shouts.

“Something’s happening to the alter!” Eiji yells.

“Did you already forget that I cracked the Source domain?” the professor gloats. “I’ve run out of patience.”

Dorugoramon’s body begins to bend and stretch suddenly.

“Kosuke!” Yulin shouts as she watches her old friend fall to the ground unconscious.

Dorugoramon continues to contort violently. A strange force pushes against its insides, trying to burst from within.

“It’s downloading data directly from the source Digimon. He’s going to kill them if he keeps this up!”

“This is bad!”

“Lets go Kazuchimon!” Fenrilogamon barks. The two Digimon charge at their terrifying new foe.

This week’s been crazy, but I’m doing my best to keep up with the daily releases. Make sure you support the original. If you enjoy this project, please leave a like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends.

Ryusenji cackles at the threat. 

Eiji opens a private chat. “Stay sharp Loogamon. We don’t know what he’s planning” Loogamon nods as he moves to a defensive stance. 

METAL CANNON

A cannonball flies towards the pair. Eiji jumps to the ground. Loogamon jumps out of the way, narrowly dodging the projectile. Dorumon stands at the source of the attack and glares emotionlessly at the pair. 

“What are you doing?” Loogamon shouts, but Dorumon doesn’t answer. 

Eiji turns to Kosuke for answers. Kosuke had broken under the weight of the professor’s revelation. He had become lost in his grief, but Durumon’s sudden attack slowly breaks him free. He lifts his head towards the commotion and mumbles, “Durumon? What are you doing?” He is on the verge of tears.

The Source Domain shakes violently. 

“What’s going on?” Kosuke shouts. Dorumon answers with an empty blank expression. 

“Dorumon can’t hear you now.”

“But how? We’re still mindlinked?”

“You don’t need to be mindlinked to control Digimon. How shall I put this?… I cracked your connection. Dorumon is mine now.”

Kosuke helplessly looks through this watch and attempts to take back control, but his efforts are fruitless. Words fail him as his world crumbles around him. The great Code Cracker Tartarus was powerless.

“Now Digivolve,” the professor barks. Dorumon nods and digivolves into Dorugoramon. 

Dorugoramon

Dorugoramon towers over the pair. Its blank emotionless stare remains fixed on them as it stands at attention, gripping its blade, ready to attack.

The professor smirks as he takes a step next to the Mega Digimon. “This is your last chance your chance Eiji. Join me, and all is forgiven. Work for me and I can promise you a nice apartment, great benefits, and a steady salary. Imagine how impressed Hatsune will be.”

“How did.?” Eiji becomes overwhelmed.

“You have ten seconds. Then I’m taking the offer off the table.” He begins counting down.

Eiji wrestles with the offer. This was everything he ever wanted. A steady job, a good college, and maybe even a girlfriend.

“You can’t be seriously considering this,” Loogamon snarls.

“It’s tempting..” Eiji crouches down next to Loogamon and begins petting its head. “You don’t know what it was like before all of this. I’d have stability…I mean I wouldn’t even have met you if it wasn’t for him…”

“Sure, but…”

The professor extends his arm. “I knew you’d understand. Now-“

Eiji shrugs, “But then again, I was never in it for stability.” Eiji stands and turns to the professors. “I came here to make my mark on the world because, at the end of the day, I’m still a code cracker.”

“Well said Eiji.” Loogamon’s tail wags as it perks up enthusiastically.

“How disappointing…”

“Shut up old man,” Loogamon growls.

“Don’t get me wrong,” Eiji adds. “I still respect you as a mentor, but I was wrong to put you on a pedistal. In other words…”

“Get out of our way!” Loogamon barks.

The professor remains silent. His smile had disappeared as he glared at the pair. “Well if you insist on losing, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Eiji lifts his Digilinker and cycles through the commands. “You’re not stopping us.”

“Let’s fucking go!” Loogamon howls.

“Digivolve!” Eiji disappears into the Digicore as Loogamon digivolves into Soloogarmon. Bright flames pour out of his shoulders with great intensity. it groups at its mace and lets out an earth-rumbling howl.

Character design/illustration illustrator: malo

PROMINENCE LASER

A white-hot beam of plasma erupts from Soloogarmon’s hands and washes over Dorugoramon. Dorugoramon takes the hit head-on without flinching. It remains unphased as its armor loses its red-hot glow. 

“What the?” Soloogarmon shouts. 

“Very impressive,” Ryusenji commends. 

“That was just the warm-up,” Soloogarmon scoffs.

“Careful Soloogarmon, we didn’t see their fight. We don’t know what we’re up against.”

“Durogoramon has a shockwave and charge attack that make it effective at long and short range. There are no obvious openings to take advantage of either attack. In your current form, one hit will likely fry your Digicore.” Yulin interjects.  

“It’s taking commands from a tool, there’s no way it can be that strong,” Soloogarmon rebuts.

“You should listen to the captain on this one. Tools or not, the professor is on the other end of the terminal.”

Soloogarmon swings its massive mace as it readies for another attack. “We don’t have the luxury of being catious.”

“Right,” Eiji says, trying to psych himself up. “Let’s give him hell!”

The professor smirks. “I guess I need to start getting serious.” Dorugoramon absorbs Ryusenji’s projection. 

DORU-din

A shockwave of energy roars through the Source Domain, but the attack is too slow. Soloogarmon howls as the engines on its shoulders come explode with energy, and shoot him into the air. Soologarmon hovers over the battlefield with a smug smirk as it braces for the next attack. 

Dorugoramon stalls for a moment, searching the battlefield. It smirks as it turns its attention to the center of the circle where Pulsemon and Black Agumon remain suspended. It begins charging its next shockwave. 

SKOLL RAGE

Soloogarmon shoots toward Dorugoramon without hesitation, leaving a trail of hellfire in its wake. It closes the distance and takes a swing with its mighty Vanargand. 

“Predictable,” the professor says. Dorugoramon stops its charge to swing at the charging wolf. The strike sends Soloogarmon flying back. “You have to do better than that.”

Eiji felt the force of the strike, the sting lingers in his abdomen. He peers over his screens. Their levels remain in a normal range. 

“What an annoying prick,” Soloogarmon growls. 

“Lets try this,” Eiji says, imputing commands into his virtual console. 

Soloogarmon releases another laser, but Dorugoramon deflects it easily. Soloogarmon follows with a turret of blasts, slowly engulfing Dorugoramon in flames. The flames never catch. Smoke billows off Dorugoramon’s body. 

“Nice try, but you’ll need to be more imaginative than that,” Ryusenji sneers. “But I’ve wasted too much time playing with you, I have to get back to work.” 

The smoke around Dorugoramon’s body begins to clear, revealing an empty space where Yulin, Ryudamon, and Black Agumon stood. Only Kosuke and a Tyrannomon stand at the altar. 

“Tyrannomon? Where did you come?” The Professor asks incredulously. 

Tyrannomon stands next to Kosuke, looking concerned. Kosuke remains frozen in place. 

“Kosuke, you have to move,” Eiji whispers. 

“Using your little Tyrannomon under the cover of smoke, very clever Eiji.”

“Get out of there Tyrannomon!” Soloogarmon orders.

Tyrannomon doesn’t get a chance to react. An attack pierces through its shoulder and brings the Tyrannomon to the ground. It lets out a pain-filled roar. 

“Such a weak Digimon,” the professor says. Dorugoramon had refined the shockwave into a fine point, making it like a bullet. 

“Tyrannomon!” Eiji shouts. 

“Dorugoramon is too powerful.” The professor looks down at the trembling Tyrannomon. It is too terrified to move. “Poor thing. I think I’ll put it out of its misery.”

Dorugoramon launches a salvo of focused attacks. The Tyrannomon shuts its eyes, waiting for a hell of fire that never comes. It hears the attack connect but doesn’t feel it. Tyrannomon opens its eyes slowly and finds itself unharmed. Around it, the earth is filled with clusters of deep impacts. Soloogarmon hovers over the Tyrannomon, its arm hangs limp to one side. Scorch marks run up its arms like a sleeve and steam bellows from the injury. Soloogarmon gives the Tyrannomon a warm reassuring smile. 

“You saved my Tyrannomon…” Eiji whispers. 

“That’s what packs do.”

Eiji feels the pain running up his arm. Senses the heat of the thrusters from his shoulder. His lunges fill with the scents of the battlefield. Loogamon’s anger, frustration, and determination had become his and Saloogarmon felt the same. At that moment, all their remaining reservation melted away as they became determined to win. 

Energy begins to build within their core as the two become one. Soloogarmon begins to glow. 

 “Lets show this asshole what hell really looks like,” Eiji says.

A bright light engulfs the pair. Out of the light steps out a new Digimon, Fenriloogamon.

I’m going to try to keep up with the daily releases, but it’s looking like it’ll be a busy week. Make sure you support the official release. If you enjoy this project, please leave a like, comment, follow the socials, and share this with your friends!

“You’re lying!” Kosuke shouts. I saw the facility. I saw her…” His voice trails as he is overcome by emotion.

“Such a predictable reaction. I needed you to believe she was alive. How else was I going to get you this far?” A smile creeps up on his face.

Shock sets in and brings Kosuke to his knees. The world around him starts to spin as he feels the warmth of vomit creeping up his throat.

“Isn’t this, the Black Agumon you’ve been looking for?” Eiji says as he makes his approach to the suspended Digimon. “So you’re the Digimon everyone’s been looking for.”

Eiji’s words pull Kosuke from his trance. He turns his attention to the black Agumon. There it was, the Digimon he spent half his life looking for. He was so close, he could reach out and touch it. Kosuke shakes off the shock. “I don’t believe you!” he growls.

“Hm”

“I refuse to believe Saya is dead. Not until I see her with my own two eyes.” He walks towards the Black Agumon. A virtual syringe materializes in his hand. He grips it tightly.

“Go ahead,” the professor adds. The professor’s sudden encouragement stops Kosuke. “That Black Agumon is hers, there’s no doubt about it. But that medicine can’t cure death. Are you willing to face those consequences?”

“What consequences?”

“I thought you were smarter than this,” Ryusenji shakes his head. “Suppose you wake her up inside Black Agumon’s core, but she has nobody to return to. What do you suppose would happen then?”

The syringe falls from his hands, landing with a hollow clang. Kosuke had clung to the hope that Saya was alive. The hope that he could bring her back. But here he stood with a choice he couldn’t crack. The medicine would either save her life or seal it. It was too much to bear.

“Data Sector Decryption Complete” the Source Domain’s voice announces.

An anguished scream rips through the air. Dorumon bends backwards, its head snaps violently until it collapses. Kosuke rushes over. “Dorumon!” he shouts as he drops to his knees beside his partner.

“Kosuke….”

“Forgive me Dorumon. You deserved better.”

“It’s not your fault. We chose the right path… I never suspected Ryusenji would betray us….” its voice trails off as it offers a weak smile. The glowing gem on its forehead continues to fade.

“How touching,” the professor says with a dry laugh. “And what were your plans with the data?”

“I would have given you all the credit. All I cared about was getting Saya back.” Kosuke’s voice trails.

“I appreciate your love for my daughter,” the professor says flatly. Kosuke groans and clutches at his chest. “I’ll make sure you look good when all this is over. I don’t want to lose you just yet.”

“Why bother?” Kosuke asks bitterly.

“You’re my prodigy. You still hold some value. Now if you’ll excuse me, I must get back to work.” He summons his virtual console and begins typing in commands. A code stream flows from the vaccine object into Ryudamon’s interface.

“Decryptin Vaccine Sector” the metallic voice announces. Ryudamon begins to convulse. It’s too weak from the battle to struggle. Yulin sits helplessly. She no longer has the energy to Mindlink.

“Why are you doing this? How can you abandon your daughter so easily?”

“What happened to Saya was…unfortunate,” Ryusenji’s response is clinical and without emotion. “But it will all be worth it when I find the Source Digimon.”

“What’s the Source Digimon?” Eiji asks.

“The Digimon born at the same time as our world. It is the seed from which all other Digimon come from.” Ryusenji’s fingers move quickly across the keyboard.

“You can’t…. it’s too dangerous!”

“You’re quite right.”

“Then why not leave it alone?”

“Because I’ve come too far. I’m going to make contact with the Source Digimon, communicate with it, and…become one with it.

“You want to take the most powerful Digimon for yourself and then what?” Eiji’s voice shakes with anger.

“Progress,” Ryusenji sneers.

“I thought I had found the chance of a lifetime when you offered me this job. I thought I had finally found something worth fighting for. You gave my life purpose!” Angry tears begin pouring down his cheek. “I would have followed you anywhere…”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t fill you in sooner but…”

“Yeah yeah, d4 classified.” Eiji wipes the tears from his eyes. “Was I just a convenience?”

“No, you had some aptitude in code cracking, and your compatibility with Loogamon didn’t hurt. But had I told you everything from the start, you and Loogamon wouldn’t have grown.”

“Whatever.”

“Do you ever shut up old man,” Loogamon snaps as it rises to its feet.

Character design/illustration illustrator: malo

“You were watching when we fought Kazuchimon, weren’t you? When Loogamon turned into Helloogarmon…You could have stepped in, but you didn’t.”

“Loogamon’s Digivolution was more important than Leon’s life. Rather, it was more interesting.

“He was your student! He trusted you.. we tursted you.”

“Insulent boy! You were nothing when I found you. I pulled you from that squalor. I gave you purpose, and this is how you repay me? You betray me?”

“That’s rich coming from you. After everything you’ve done to Leon, Kosuke, and Yulin…” Eiji’s voice shakes with anger. He takes a soothing breath. “You know? I used to want to be just like you. I respected you…”

“Do you hate me now?”

Loogamon’s restraints begin to tighten. He stumbles as he resists the pressure.

Eiji shakes his head. “Ready Loogamon?” Eiji touches the gem on Loogamon’s forehead. The gem lights up as an invisible code flows between the two. Loogamon gains a sudden burst of strength. With a quick flex, it breaks through the restraints, sending bits of broken chain in every direction.

“How?”

“I’ve got hellfire flowing through my veins. Your little virus didn’t stand a chance.” Loogamon sneers. The pair begins to glow as an aura of magical flame surrounds them. “This isn’t going to end well for you,”

I’ll do my best to keep up with the daily releases, but it’s going to be tricky. I usually post on my socials when the chapters are up if that’s easier to keep track of. Make sure you support the original. If you enjoy this project, please leave a like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends!

Eiji searches fruitlessly through the dark for the voice, but his vision fails to grasp anything tangible. For a few moments that followed, there was nothing. No sounds, smells, or light to tease the senses. Shock overwhelms the panick as Eiji continues to fight through the daze.

Just as quickly as they were enshourded by darkness, the lights flicker, illuminating the void. The sudden bright light forces Eiji to squint. He begins to feel the coold smooth stone pressed against his back and sares up onto an inverted wall. “What?” he lets out, as he begins to come to his senses. Eiji realizes he is no longer standing.

“Rrgh,” Loogamon grunts.

Eiji turns to his partner and gets up as quickly as he can. He fights through the faint dizziness and makes his way towards the wolf. “Loogamon! You okay?”

Loogamon lays on the ground, making weak twitches with its paws. “I…I can’t move,” it manages to say.

Eiji looks around and finds the rest of the group in a similar state spread across the circle. Scattered and unconscious. The interface on the prototype Digimon glow dimly but begin to fade with each passing second.

Eiji reaches for his partner, “Loogamon!?!” he shouts as his arms wrap around the wolf’s neck. The interface on the prototype Digimon go dark for a few seconds before rebooting.

Kosuke sits up and pulls up his console and virtual monitor. “What?” he murmers as an endless stream of unintellible code floods his screen. Kosuke begins typing desperately at his keys, but his console seems to be stuck in an endless reboot loop. The source code decryption had been canceled without warning.

“Good morning friends,” a familiar voice says softly. Eiji instantly recognizes the voice. He turns quickly in disbelief, but finds the professor standing in front of him. “Professor Ryusenji?” Eiji lets out softly.

With his back turned to the pupils, the Ryusenji says “I’ll take it from here.”

Yulin begins to regain consciousness. Through her fog, she can make out the professor’s silhouette. “Professor?” She says weakly as she slowly comes to consciousness. “What are you doing?… Why?”

Kosuke stares at the professor incredulously as his console continues to reboot.

“Why are you so surprised?” The professor says as he turns around to address his pupils.

Kosuke and Yulin quietly get to their feet. Their balance wavers, and they fail to find the words to respond.

“After all,” the professor continues. “I’m the one who asked you to raise these protype Digimon for me. Now if you don’t mind,”

RESTRAIN

“Gah!”

“What is this?!”

Loogamon and Dorumon fall to the ground as they become restrained by the same tool used on Ryudamon.

“How did you do that?” Durumon shouts.

“Did you really think I would just give you my Digimon?” Ryusenji says sternly.

“He had it…programed into us,” Loogamon shouts. Dorumon’s eyes grow wide in disbelief as the truth begins to sink in.

“Did you tamper with Ryudamon too?” Yulin is finally able to say.

“It’s a little…safety feature I installed in each Digimon and Digimon linker. Did I not mention it when I gave them to you?” The professor’s voice is cold. “I can also take control of the Digimon if I need to. Progress requires these types of safeguards, wouldn’t you agree?” He turns around and continues towards the center of the circle. “These Digimon are my tools, and I will use them as I see fit.” The Digimon continue to struggle in their restrains.

The group notices as a strange shimmer occasionally run across the professor’s hologram. His hologram was a mere projection from the three Digimon linkers. It was clear at that moment that everything was by his design.

“What the hell are you going on about!” Kosuke shouts, slamming his virtual monitor away.

The professor stops at the center of the circle. Without turning says, “Let me put it simply. Your story is now mine. Now watch closely.” The professor begins typing at his console. Dorumon’s interface begins to glow as a beam of data begins flowing through it.

“What are you doing?!” Kosuke shouts.

“Isn’t it obvious? I’m decrypting the Source Domain’s code. It’s only fair that I do it.”

Kosuke stands helplessly and watches his Digimon be hijacked.

“Accessing source domain code,” comes an announcement from the cold robotic voice of the Source Domain.

“Loogamon!” Eiji shouts as he slams his fingers through various commands in a feeble attempt to regain control of his partner.

“It’s not looking good,” the wolf replies. Eiji continues to struggle, looking for any way to sever the connection and take back his friend. What if they couldn’t stop the professor? A cold shiver runs down his back.

“We’re supposed to be on the same side!” Kosuke cries desperately. “I want to save Saya too!”

“Professor! Please! Don’t!” Eiji shouts helplessly.

“What is it Eiji?” the professor asks coldly.

“Why are you doing this? Why put us through all this trouble? We’re on the same side. Don’t you want your daughter back?”

The professor smiles. “I’ve always liked you Eiji, so I’m letting you in on a little secret. I’m not really interested in finding her.”

“But then…why did you make the stimulant?” Eiji feels the weight of the world crashing into him. He stumbles and almost falls to the ground.

“Not…interested?” Kosuke clenches his fists tightly.

The professor shrugs. “What’s lost is lost. This whole plan you’ve dedicated your whole life to, Kosuke, it is a monument to wasted effort.”

“Don’t let him…get to you Kosuke,” Dorumon shouts.

“I…I always had my suspisions,” Yulin manages. “but I didn’t want to believe them. I couldn’t”

Professor Ryusenji smirks, “You should have listened to your gut, Captain.”

Without warning, the infinite space around them fills with an endless stream of data. “This is it. The universal directory,” the professor says as he sifts through the data.

“Search Complete,” the Source Doman’s voice announces.

Bit by bit, a small yellow Digimon begins to appear before them, occasionally letting off small strikes of lightning.

“Pulsmon!” Loogamon shouts, reigniting his struggle.

“What’s it doing here?” Eiji asks with delight.

“And there you have it boy, the Pulsemon you and Loogamon were looking for,” the professor adds.

Eiji takes a hard swallow.

“This is but a taste of what can be done with the control of the Source Domain’s data.”

Another Digimon begins to materialize. A small black dinosaur appears next to Pulsemon. Kosuke lets out a gasp, “Black Agumon!”

Character design/illustration illustrator: malo

“Just as I suspected,” the professor continues as he examines the Black Agumon. “Even if the mindlinker perishes, the partner Digimon doesn’t suffer the same fate.

“Wait..what did you say?” Eiji stammers as tears fall down his face.

“Saya’s..” Yulin’s heart drops. The sudden pain of realization almost knocks her off her feet. “Saya’s dead?!” She can’t hold back her tears.

“Oh, yes. For quite some time, now,” the professor answers coldly.

It’s been a bit chaotic, but I finally found some time to pick this project back up. I apologize for those of you who have been waiting, and I thank you for your patience. Please make sure you always support the original, and don’t forget to like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends.

Eiji, Kosuke, and Yulin vanish. Omnimon’s blade slashes through the space Kosuke’s neck used to be. It pulls up the glowing blade to examine it for signs of contact. It lets out a powerful sigh in its disappointment as it realizes it has failed.

“Did they make it?” Marvin asks as the shock kicks in. He and Satsuki freeze, as they watch the frustrated knight plan its next move. If it turns around, they didn’t stand a chance.

Marvin looks at the destruction around him. Sees the half-frozen Chaosdramon, the overheating Brigadramon, and the two Mega Digimon Kosuke sacrificed. Watches as Omnimon stands at the center of the aftermath, motionless. Moments go by before it leaps into the air. It takes a sudden dive into the gate and disappears out of sight.

The battlefield falls silent. The mangled corpses of Gatekeepers and Code Cracker Digimon form scattered piles over its face. The Wall Slum Digimon had long since disappeared, leaving Marvin and Satsuki alone. The raid is over.

Marvin appears as a hologram and walks over to Satasuki whose hologram stands over the wrecked Mekanorimon.

“Thanks for the assist,” Marvin says coyly.

“Where’s the captain?” She asks flatly, without looking up. Sadness, anger, and frustration all jumble inside her as she tries to make sense of what just happened.

“We should really get out of here before that thing decides to come back.

Satsuki turns angrily and pulls Marvin by his collar. “I asked you a question!”

Marvin lifts his hands up in protest, “I have no idea where they went. We didn’t get that far.”

“LIAR!” She shouts as she shakes Marvin violently. “Tell me where she went!”

“Woah, calm down.” Marvin pulls himself free and brushes himself off. “Look, my parts are done. The battle is over. Now if you’ll excuse me, I got to check up on my friends. I’ll be seeing you.” He gives Satsuki a brief wave as he walks away. Marvin summons a small virtual console as he walks, and inputs a few commands. The felled Digimon and the screen vanish as Marvin turns his attention to help his comrades.

Satsuki remains frozen where he left her and stares blankly into the distance. Moments go by before Marvin finally turns to her and says, “It’s been nice, but I’m out of here.”

Satsuki turns slowly towards Marvin and stares at him with a lost expression. She clenches her fists tightly but doesn’t say a word.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude. You can come join us if you need a place to crash. I can even fix that Mekanorimon if you want.”

Eiji, Kosuke, and Yulin stand at the center of an endless void. Around them, white empty space stretches away from them for miles.

“Is this…The depths?” Eiji asks as he searches for something to fix his gaze. Nothing seems to stand out. Except for the solid floor below them, everything around them was an endless formless blight.

“Well we can summon our holograms which is a good sign that this is 3D space,” Kosuke says. His voice trails off as he summons his virtual console and begins typing into it furiously.

“I always imagined the Depths to be a wild place full of untouched nature, like a forest or somthing,” Eiji says, his hologram also testing his surroundings. “That’s what the video at the DDL showed.” Kosuke doesn’t respond. He doesn’t seem to have heard Eiji’s comment. Eiji continues his search, and Loogamon sniffs at the air for clues.

Character design/illustration illustrator: malo

“So what is this place?” Loogamon asks. “There’s a bunch of scents in the air, but they don’t make sense. It’s like there’s something here, but there isn’t.”

“Something?” Eiji asks in a shaky voice

“Yeah, it’s like this whole place exists and doesn’t at the same time. It’s confusing.”

“I didn’t peg you for a philopher Loogamon.” Dorumon chuckles.

“Shut up,” Loogamon snarls, blaring its fangs at the fox.

“This is the Source Domain,” Kosuke says finally without looking up.

“The source? So this is where it all starterd?” Eiji says as he takes another look around him.

“The Digital World was born from noise and chaos. This is a place full of ancient and forgotten data. Only old Digimon can access it, or Digimon compatible to the old standards like…” Kosuke’s voice trails off.

“Like the Prototypes,” Durumon continues, pointing toward the interface on its forehead. “These things gave us access, and since you were fused to our Digicores, you came along too.”

“Ah!” Eiji chirps.

Durumon turns his attention to the unconscious and restrained Ryudamon. “Still asleep captain?”

Yulin’s hologram suddenly appears between them. “Kosuke!” she shouts.

“I’m sorry Yulin, but this was the only way. You wouldn’t have helped me otherwise.”

“Wait!” She looks at the void around her, frozen with shock as she struggles to piece the truth together. “The Gateway…What happened?!” Her voice shakes as she demands answers.

“We cracked it. This is the other side,” Kosuke answers, his gaze still fixed on his work.

Yulin is speechless. The mission failed because she hesitated.

“The DigiPolice watched you fall and withdrew. Your deputy fought till the end. She even deployed a Mega-level Digimon in an attempt to rescue you.” Durumon begins.

“Sastuki deployed Brigadramon? No!” Her voice fills with genuine concern. No one could fully control Brigadramon. It wasn’t ready to be used in combat.

“We didn’t know you were sitting on such a nifty little Digimon. It even stood toe-to-toe with Marvin’s Chaosdramon, but then Omnimon showed up, and well… that’s when the real party started. The thing came inches from Kosuke’s neck, but he was just too smart.” Durumon ends his story with a proud smile.

“What…What happened to Satsuki?”

Kosuke shrugs, “She’s not my responsibility.” He steals a quick glance at the distressed captain and sighs. “I’m not sure what happened after we cracked the Gateway, but Marvin’s a good guy. I’m sure he’s taking good care of her.”

Eiji is surprised by how casually the two foes address each other. “Do you know each other?”

“I guess there’s no reason to lie now that we’re in here,” Kosuke responds as he goes into their history.

Eieji takes it in for a moment but remembers where they are. “That’s a lot, but…shouldn’t we be worried about Omnimon coming back?”

Dudumon shakes his head, “Only prototype Digimon can enter here. We’re safe.”

“That’s good.” Eiji begins to relax.

“In theory,”

“Huh?”

Durumon shrugs, “It’s entirely possible that I am wrong. The Royal Knights will show up and end us. It’s all Jazz from here on out.”

“Please tell me you’re joking.” Eiji tenses up.

“That’s the worst case scenarion.”

Loogamon wags its tail. “Relax kid. I don’t smell any Royal Knights.”

“You’re younger than me Loogamon.”

“We don’t know that,” it sneers. Its nose twitches suddenly as it catches a faint unfamiliar scent.

“What’s up, Loogamon?”

“Something stinks over here but…GAH” Loogamon’s face twists as it fights back disgust. The area Loogamon was sniffing reacts suddenly. A strange translucent shape begins to form around it.

“What did you do?!” Eiji shouts.

Loogamon jumps back as the shape begins to form. “Nothing I..” Loogamon freezes partway through his leap. Its body remains suspended, frozen in the air.

The Gatekeepers turn their firepower towards the Sons of Chaos. Chaosdramon fires away furiously, keeping the swarms of Gatekeepers away. The rest of the Sons of Chaos clean up any bits of swarm that manage to break through the blast of Chaosdramon’s Hyper Infinity Cannon. The Sons of Chaos move to form a defensive perimeter around their leader. 

Kosuke stands behind the three prototype Digimon and watches as they crack the Gateway. Explosions and beams of hot energy fill the air around him, but his attention never falters. The progress bar makes its slow crawl across the screen…30%…33%…

The last time Kosuke attempted to crack the gateway, the progress stalled at 30%. They surpassed the first attempt, and each second brought him closer to Saya.

Dorumon announces their progress periodically. Kosuke’s screen fills with a stream of endless code as he sends commands to the prototype Digimon. The code creates a visible stream of light that becomes tethered to the backs of each Digimon. They continue to work furiously. Their feet begin to glow as streams of code stretch from beneath them across the face of the Gateway, revealing a complex geometric pattern on its surface. 

At some point, the Gatekeepers had turned their attention to Kosuke. Bits of Gatekeepers occasionally rain around him, but he never takes notice. His fingers tingle with anticipation as they glide over the keyboard. 

Eiji watches Kosuke curiously. He becomes moved by the man’s unwavering focus. Unable to do much else, Eiji opens his monitor to check on the progress. 

66%

The Gateway groans as the glow of flowing data eats away at its face to complete the pattern. It looks to be a third of the way done. 

Loogamon’s ears twitch. It flicks its nose toward the air. 

“What is it?” Eiji asks. 

“Something’s coming…” Loogamon’s voice trails. There is a hint of fear in its voice. 

“What…Wait….Crap! Tartarus!” Eiji cries out. 

“Stay calm. There’s nothing we can do right now. Just focus on the job,” Dorumon calls out. Its voice seems a bit distracted.

“Its time!” Kosuke shouts. “Everyone fall back!”

“Tappin out!”

“That’s it for me!” The Sons of Chaos Leaders slowly chime, letting Tartarus know they’ve hit their limit. Only Chaosdramon would be left to hold the line. 

“Let’s all raise a glass when all this is over,” one of the leaders adds. 

“You got it!” 

“Loggin AUGH!” A deafening scream blasts through the chat before everything goes silent. Eiji’s mind begins to race. Have they been attacked? He searches the skies for answers. 

Suddenly, a Digimon drops from the sky and lands on the Gateway with a sickening thud. Smoke and dusk kick around it furiously. As it clears, Eiji can make out a severely damaged machine. Its body is covered in deep gashes. Exposed wires let off sparks of electricity. It begins to move towards them. Each step releases thick black smoke from its gashes. 

“Mekanorimon?” Eiji asks in disbelief. ” I thought the DigiPolice retreated?”

A series of small explosions erupt throughout Mekanorimon’s body. It lurches to one side and topples over to its side. Inside sits a damaged Numemon. It spills out of the seat, flopping onto the ground as it makes its escape from the wreckage. Satsuki appears next to the Mekanorimon and gingerly touches its cold steel body. “I’m sorry,” she whispers as she gently strokes the unmoving Digimon. 

She turns her attention to the prototype Digimon. Her expression fills with rage. “I’m getting the captain back, and none of you filthy code crackers are going to stop me!” she shouts. 

“Hey, Satsuki?” Eiji says as he leaps between the enraged officer and the Prototype Digimon.

Satsuki clenches her fist and begins to grit her teeth. “Eiji Nagasumi…” Satsuki scowls harder.

“It’s too dangerous to stay as a hologram. One stray bullet and you’re gone.” He adds, trying to calm her down.

Don’t talk down to me boy. I know what I’m doing,” she growls as she pulls out a small device from her pocket. The label on its side reads: CLASSIFIED. Metropolitan Police Department. Unit 11: D-003799. “I’m putting an end to this, once and for all!”

“Is that a Digimon Dock?”

” Sorry, Captain. Consider this my resignation…” Her voice trails as she looks down at the unconscious Ryudamon. 

“Satsuki..?” Eiji stammers. 

“Get ready kid, I ain’t holding back!” she yells as she turns on the device. 

A horrific metallic scream fills the air. Eiji searches for a source, but nothing happens. 

Genocidal Rain!

Character design/illustration illustrator: malo

A hail of heavy-caliber bullets rain from above. Each bullet explodes into Chaosdramon with thundering force, but the crimson dragon absorbs the blows effortlessly. Bellow, Eiji ducks his head expecting a stray bullet that never comes. 

RATATATATATATA

The defining explosions continue. Eiji lifts his head slowly to search for its source. Above it, Chaosdramon is pinned down by the endless hail of bullets. At the other end, a heavily armored bipedal dragon fires its Gatling gun furiously towards them. A jetpack blows viciously, keeping it over them. Its blue armor glistens with each explosion. Its blank expression remains fixed on the prototype Digimon. 

Brigadramon, Mega, Android, Virus​​​

“So they just had a Mega Digimon sitting around?” Eiji lets out.

“Impressed?” Satsuki asks mockingly. She turns her attention to a terminal that floats in front of her. She enters a few commands and smirks as Brigadramon continues to rain down fire.

“I only left for five minutes…” Marvin’s voice comes through chat as he takes control of the Chaosdramon remotely. “Let’s see how you handle this!” Chaosdramon closes the gap between them and grabs the Gatling gun. “Gotcha!”

Satsuki lets out a sly smirk. “Not so fast!” Brigadramon adds Brigadramon lifts its left arm, revealing three rocket launchers hidden under its claws. “Did you think that’s all I had?”

“Stop it!” Eiji shouts suddenly. “It’s here!”

DELETE ALL!

A metalic voice echoes over the battlefield as a small vortex forms above the chaos. From it falls a silver knight Digimon.

Omnimon

Omnimon raises its right arm. The cannon at the end begins to glow as it gathers energy. The cannon fires without warning. 

GARURU CANNON

The frozen beam falls towards the gate. 

“Tartarus!” Marvin moves the Chaosdramon to intercept the blast. Ice creeps over its hard metallic body, slowly choking the life from it. With its final breath, it lets out one last defiant breath. 

HYPER INFINITY CANNON

Omnimon moves quickly, dodging the blast and closing the distance between it and the prototype Digimon. 

EXA DESTROYER

Three missiles explode against Omnimon, forcing the Royal Knight to land. Omnimon remains unscathed as it turns its attention to Satsuki’s Brigadramon. 

GENOCIDAL RAIN!

RATATATATATATA

Brigadramon’s Gatling gun begins to spin as it releases a turret of bullets. Omnimon disappears behind a cloud of dust and smoke. The gun comes to a stop. Smoke wisps rise from the end of the barrels. Omnimon stops out of the smoke, unscathed. The runes on its blade begin to glow as it inches toward Kosuke and the other Digimon.

…..95%….96%….97%…

TRANSCENDENT SWORD

Omnimon charges. 

“Kosuke!” Eiji shouts helplessly. 

Kosuke pulls out two Digimon Docks from his pockets. “I told you, everything is going to plan.” He presses a button on the docks. Two mega Digimon suddenly appear to intercept Omnimon’s attack. 

99%. 

The Gateway lets out another massive grown. The prototype Digimon begins to glow as ghostly images of their ultimate forms appear briefly above them. As the projections disappear, beams of data shoot from their bodies toward the sea above them. 

Omnimon makes quick work of Kosuke’s Mega Digimon and continues its charge towards Kosuke. Its blade swings for his neck. 

“100% Gate Cracking complete!” Dorumon announces as Kosuke, Eiji, and the three prototype Digimon vanish.

The blast of energy connects with Ouryumon before it has a chance to react. Its twin blades drop as the wings on its back vanish. Ouryumon is sent plummeting towards the Gateway. Its body bounces once as it kicks up thick clouds of dust and debris. Yulin and her partner remain unconscious as the dust settles around them. Ouruyumon glows a sickly yellow as it dedigivolves into Ryudamon.

Ryudamon

Dorugoramon looks down at its opponent and reverts Dorumon. “The Digicore is intact,” It says as Kosuke’s hologram appears beside it.

There’s a glimpse of sadness in his expression as he looks down at his old friend.

“I know you can’t hear me, but I’m going to restrain you,” Kosuke says as he pulls up a program that restrains Ryudamon. The program wouldn’t allow anyone to control Ryudamon as long as they were mindlinked, but it wouldn’t prevent it from moving. Kosuke lets out a loud sigh. “I’m sorry, but this was the only way.”

Kosuke turns an unremorseful gaze towards the battlefield. “Phase two is complete. Commence phase three,” he commands.

“Copy that! Note mindlink uptime is higher than anticipated, but still with in acceptable perameter,” Dorumon responds.

“Yulin is a tough girl,” Kosuke replies flatly.

“Indeed,” Dorumon responds, his gaze fixed on the restrained Ryudamon.

Dorumon

Kosuke opens up his coms. “You still alive Marvin?”

“Barely,” came in a shaky reply. “Looks like we’ve got plenty of time though.”

“Status report,”

“The DigiPolice’s biggest weapon is out of commission, Eiji was able to take out the two Hi-Commandramon. We’ve knocked out a third of the police force. The Wall Slum Digimon are still going strong, but it looks like the code crackers fighting the Gatekeepers are loosing steam.”

“The turning point’s approaching,” Dorumon says gravely. They couldn’t risk the battle shifting against them. Not when they were so close.

“Right then,” Kosuke says suddenly. “Time for the main event.”

Dorumon nods. “Marvin, bring Eiji over here.”

“On it boss. I’ll get ’em there without a single scratch!”

“If you’re gunna use it, now would be the time,” Kosuke adds.

“You don’t even gotta ask,” Marvin replies as he activates a tool from his console. Suddenly, a guttural unearthly groan floods the airways.

Satsuki grits her teeth as she watches over the battlefield. A third of her force was gone along with the two strongest mindlinkers and the captain.

“That damn Eiji,” she growls. “This wasn’t in the notes…” Her voice trails. Their intel had placed Eiji and his partner only at Champion level. It frustrated Stasuki to know that their intel was wrong. He had jumped a level since they last fought, and now he was…her level. Regret fills her as she thinks about their first encounter. Satsuki clenches her fists tightly. “I should have taken him out when I had a chance.”

“Squad leader,” a voice breaks her trance.

“Go ahead.” She shakes off the frustration and regains her focus.

“Orders?”

“Left flank, retreat and regroup with the remaining forces. Right flank and center, take care of the Gatekeepers. Everyone retreat after regrouping.”

“But..”

“That’s an order,” she commands, cutting off incoming protests. Yulin had given her command of the Police with the condition she wouldn’t push Numemon past champion, and they would retreat if Yulin lost.

“But the Captain?”

“I know!” Satsuki shouts as the rage continues to bubble within her. “There’s no other choice.” The Sons of Chaos had the upper hand. Fighting any longer would end in defeat.

“Tachibana, Sakurada, can you move?”

“Yeah”

“Good. I need you to retreat for now. I’ll cover you.”

“But…”

“It’s an order, not an invitation. Get moving!” Satsuki barks.

“Yes Mam!” They respond as they begin limping away toward the Cargodramon. She watches as the rest of her battered forces make their make their retreat.

“Right then, where did Eiji go?” She says as she switches coms. “Seals one come in.”

“We’ve got eyes on Tartarus. It looks like they’re getting ready for their next move.”

“Keep watching, but retreat the second things get hot.”

Marvin joins Kosuke and the others with Eiji hidden. “Alright, I brought the kid. Now if you don’t need me, I need to get going. I better take advantage while the Police are retreating.”

“You’ve done enough. Thanks. Where are you off to?”

“Gotta pick up my kid from school.”

“Right, right! You better hurry then. I’m sorry to take up so much of your day.”

“It’s fine, now I got a cool story to tell them when they’re older!” Marvin chuckles.

“I’m glad you see it that way.”

“Catch you later!” Marvin says as he and his Digimon leave.

“Are they really reatreating?” Eiji asks as his hologram appears next to Loogamon.

“They’re probably just following orders.” Tartarus responds.

Eiji turns to the unconscious Ryudamon. “Are they all right?” He sounds concerned as he examines the restraints.

“They’re just unconscious. The DigiCore is still intact. I just put them in restraints for their safety.”

“So what now?” Loogamon asks.

“Now we crack the gateway,” Kosuke says with a smile.

“We’re going to use the old interfaces on the prototype Digimon to open the gate.” Dorumon adds.

“Old interfaces?” Eiji asks, puzzled by the explanation.

“Oh? I thought the professor would have told you.” Dorumon asks, taken aback.

Eiji and Loogamon shake their heads for a moment before Eiji gets an idea. “Wait! The thing on their foreheads!” Eiji exclaims suddenly, pointing at Loogamon’s forehead.

Dorumon smiles, “Exactly! Digimon with those interfaces are known as prototype Digimon. We’re going to use them to access the backdoor that leads to the depths.”

“We’ll slip through where the system administrator can’t see,” Kosuke adds.

“Damn Loogamon, that means your forehead holds some sort of legendary power! I always knew you were incredible buddy.”

“I don’t need you to tell me I’m incredible,” Loogamon responds as its tail wags furiously behind it.

“So what do we have to do?” Eiji asks excitedly.

“You don’t need to do anything.”

“Sorry?”

“Tartarus will take care of the Gateway. The Prototype Digimon act as intermediaries while the cracking occurs.”

“That makes sense,” Loogamon says as he looks at the still-unconscious Rydamon.

“Well if you only need Loogamon’s interface, what should I do?” Eiji asks, feeling lost. Loogamon and Dorumon exchange a nervous glance.

“Pray.”

Loogamon, Dorumon, and the restrained Ryudamon form a triangle around Kosuke.

“Alright, time to move into phase three,” Kosuke announces. “Once we start the process, there’s no cancelling. Loogamon and Dorumon won’t be able to move while the Gateway is being cracked. We’re counting on the rest of the Sons of Chaos to see us through.”

“Yes sir!” comes the resounding response from the remaining members.

Kosuke starts typing quick commands on his console. “I hope this thing of yours works Marvin.”

Suddenly, the ground begins to shake as violently. The Sons of Choas close their ranks and brace for an attack as a gigantic dragon appears over them. The beast is completely metallic, with thick crimson armor covering its body. Large metal talons flex as its tail waves wildly behind it.

‘Is that a Machinedramon?” Eiji asks.

“No, but similar,” Loogamon adds.

“You’ve seen this thing before?”

“I recognize that red armor anywhere…That’s Chaosdramon.”

HYPER INFINTY CANNON!

Two red-hot beams of energy fly through the air and melt away swarms of Gatekeepers. The sky around them fills with explosions.

“A mega? Who can even pilot a Mega like that? Eiji asks stunned.

“It’s a bot,” Tartarus says.

“What? No one is controlling it?!”

Chaosdramon lets out a roar. Eiji marvels at the sheer unmanned destructive power before him.

“No one would be able to mindlink with that.” Kosuke adds finally.

“Wait what about the Wall Slum Digimon.” Eiji asks suddenly. His voice filled with genuine concern.

“I told them to leave the moment things got dicey. None of the are risking their lives if there’s no benefit,” Loogamon responds.

“We’re on the clock,” Dorumon says suddenly.

“Right.” Kosuke opens up his terminal and begins typing at it furiously. He glimpses at the unconscious Ryudamon. “Sorry Yulin. I need to borrow you for a bit.” He stops typing to take a deep breath before hitting his final command:

Crack Gateway.

The air smells like burning exhaust. Smoke rises around Soloogarmon as white-hot flames erupt from the generators on its shoulders. It grips its mace tightly as it watches the police Digimon before it. It can’t help but smirk as they tense up in preparation. 

“I got a bit of my memory back,” Soloogarmon whispers.

“Yeah?” Eiji lets out a sigh of relief, seeing they are still in control. 

“Yep!” Soloogarmon takes a deep breath. “I’m burning everything!” It bellows as a menacing grimace creeps across its face. The generators burn brightly, releasing a high-pitched whir as they continue to gather energy. Before the Hi-Commandramon can react, Soloogarmon vanishes. It leaves behind a swirl of smoke in its place. Suddenly, one of Hi-Commandramon’s shields begins to buckle and break under the weight of the mace. Soloogarmon stands at the other end of the impact. Its grin widens with each new crack.

“AWWOOOOOO!” Saloogarmon lets out a howl that rattles the shattered armor. Flames begin to spill from its maw.

ERUPTION HOWL

Torrents of red-hot hellfire melt effortlessly through the armor, leaving the Hi-Commandramon defenseless. It shrinks away from the heat as the other shield fruitlessly appears in feeble retaliation. The shield shrivels into a burning husk of debris. The two police Digimon spring into a defensive stance, and take careful aim in retaliation. Both grenade launchers empty furiously as twelve grenades find their target. Soloogarmon explodes into flames and vanishes behind its veil.

The flames vanish in an instant, revealing an unscathed Saloogarmon. Magical flames move around it in a protective aura. Soloormon smirks. “Is that it?” The Hi-Commandramon become visibly shaken.

“Careful, you’re taking damage,” Eiji says as he watches the monitors flash with warning.

“It’s all part of the plan!” It grips Vanargand tightly and readies for another attack. The Hi-Commandramon lift their batons for another attack. “No more games Eiji. Let’s burn ’em!”

 “Their mindlinkers too. Don’t wreck their Digicores!” Eiji pleas. 

“Don’t worry. They’re tough. They’re not gonna die.” Before Eiji can respond, Saloogarmon takes off into the air. A shockwave of energy explodes behind it. It lifts Vanargand

Skoll Rage!

The fight between the two legendary dragons rages furiously over the gateway. The sudden flash from Loogarmon’s evolution forces them to pause as they shield their eyes from the blinding illumination.

Yulin looks down towards the source and watches as the humanoid wolf tears through her strongest officers. With one mighty blow, it leaves the pair unconscious. Yulin grinds her teeth in frustration as she watches the unknown code cracker make a mockery of her and her unit. Something about the code cracker seems familiar. She ponders for a moment. “Is that Eiji Nagasumi?”

Kosuke chuckles, “He really did it. Isn’t he awesome?”

Yulin watches as her opponent’s attention drifts for a moment. She readies for an attack. “I’ll just have to deal with him after!”

Dorugoramon wags its finger. “None of that,” Kosuke responds. “I need both of you for this next bit.”

“What bit?”

“Don’t you see?” He shouts ecstatically as his Digimon raises his arms wide towards the sea of networks above them. “Three ultimate Digimon, each with the three key attribute. Data, vaccine, virus! We’re all here!”

Yulin tries to piece together the words but struggles to follow Kosuke’s thoughts. “What are you plotting?”

Tartarus turns to Yulin. “I’m not plotting anything. I’m just finishing what we started.”

Suddenly, it clicks. The pain and anguish Kosuke carried with him all these years could no longer be contained. The chaos of Kosuke’s obsession erupts all around her, and all she can feel is sorrow.

 “Unlike you,” Kosuke continues. “I haven’t forgotten about Saya.”

His words cut Yulin deeply.

“I don’t blame you.” He continues. “Forgetting was the only way you could move forward. Isn’t that why you became a cop? To prevent others from going DMIA? Is this,” Koske motions to the chaos around him, “Your penance?”

“Don’t you dare talk to me like you still know me!” She snaps.

Kosuke smiles through his Digimon. “I know you better than anyone Yulin. But have it your way. Today’s the day we put an end to this chapter. I’m going to save Saya Yulin. I’m going to bring her back.”

“And how the hell do you plan to do that?”

“With an old relic of the Digital World. It sits down in the depths of the Digital World. It has the power to fix everything, and I am going to be the one to get it!” Dorugoramon begins to glow bright with energy as it charges an attack.

“Ouryumon!” Yulin shouts. Ouryumon begins redies its blades and begins to glow with its own aura.

“I think this counts as police brutality,” Kosuke snides.

“Some situation need a little force.”

“I haven’t done anything wrong. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?”

“That doesn’t work here…” Her words trail as she becomes filled with rage. Ouryumon crosses its blades and charges the silver dragon. Before Dorugoramon can react, the two swords plunge into Dorugoramon’s neck. “I’ll be the one who saves Saya!” Yulin snarls. 

Dorugoramon shrieks in pain, and Yulin catches a glimpse of its fear. She freezes as she remembers shes a cop. Dorugoramon smirks and takes advantage of the distraction. It grabs Ouryumon’s arms and pulls the blades out. They leave behind shallow wounds. 

“You lost Yulin. This is all going according to plan.”

“Dammit Kosuke!”

“Like I said, I know you better than anyone.”

Dorugoramon delivers a fierce kick that sends Ouryumon flying back, creating space between the two dragons. Dorugoramon launches itself forward, turning into pure destructive energy.

BRAVE METAL!

The Cargodramon leaves a thick cloud of smoke as it falls to the ground. Loogamon jumps through the cloud of smoke and reappears next to Airdramon.

Airdramon

‘You guys really saved us down there,” Eiji chirps in relief.

“Thanks old man,” Loogamon adds.

Marvin chuckles. “You guys are crazy man, taking on the Digipolice like that.” His words ring with a mixture of admiration and exasperation. “So what did we just walk into Eiji?”

“Satsuki is down there in that Mekanorimon. She’s running this whole operation, and she’s a bit…cranky today. Even more than last time.” Eiji remembers their encounter during his entrance exam.

Marvin reads over Statsuki’s profile. “Yeah I remember. She’s an odd one.” Marvin lets out a sigh as he looks at the Mekanorimon commanding the Digipolice. He watches as the Commandramon move in perfect unison to set up for a counterattack. “This is going to be interesting.”

“Is she stronger than you?” Loogamon asks, mockingly.

“Well I definitely don’t have the attention span to command that many people. Is everyone in position?” Marvin asks suddenly to the others on the line. “These Commandramon have a basic camo feature, so stay sharp and don’t get ambushed. We gotta give Tartarus more space. Come on guys, just like we planned!”

Loogamon smirks. It’s tail wags excitedly as it salivates over the prey moving below. “Me and Eiji will take care of these pests.”

“Let’s do it Loogamon. Digivolve!

Loogarmon

Loogamon burst into a large ball of flames. Loogarmon springs from the fireball, flames lick down its fur and feathers. It charges towards the scrambling Commandramon.

FLAME BLOW!

Loogarmon’s body becomes covered in white hot flames as he slams into a unit of Commandramon. The Commandramon are too slow to react, and the wolf pierces through their ranks effortlessly, leaving behind bodies of burning Digimon.

Marvin watches the wolf for a moment before issuing his command. “Move in!”

The remaining Sons of Chaos follow Eiji into the fray. The surprised Commandramon struggles to react, and the field erupts into chaos.  

A fresh swarm of Gatekeepers moves towards the madness, creating a thick black shadow that cuts through the sky. Marvin isn’t phased. He types a simple command into his console, activating the army of Espimon bots at his disposal. Behind him, a swarm of Espimon appears and charges at the oncoming Gatekeepers. The two metallic swarms collide, filling the sky with explosions. Their incoherent struggle continues until it fills the space above the Digipolice. 

Mekanorimon

Satsuki watches the chaos unfold around her. She clenches her fists in frustration and grinds her teeth furiously.

“Those fucking Code Crackers!” She watches as the swarm of Gatekeepers flies towards her. Watches as the Airdramon commands the Sons of Chaos that have joined the ambush. She smirks. “So that’s how you want to play.” She takes aim. “Open Fire!”

A twinkling beam erupts from the Mekanorimon’s torso and collides with the Gatekeepers. The DigiPolice follow her lead and begin spraying the swarm with bullets. Bits of Gatekeepers begin raining around them.

While the DigiPolice shifts its attention to the oncoming horde of Gatekeepers, Loogarmon continues to decimate the ground forces, quickly making its way towards the center.

“Keep it up Loogarmon!” Eiji exclaims!

“This is too easy” Loogarmon responds snidely. Loogarmon jumps between Commandramon. Its claws slash effortlessly through body armor and send bodies through the air.

“There’s a Mekanorimon!” Eiji points out the large robot commanding a large squad. “You think you can hit it?”

Small embers lick from between Loogarmon’s iron muzzle. “No problem!”

Howling Burner!

Fire begins spilling from its iron grates. A torrent of flames engulfs the Mekanorimon below, leaving a scorched in its wake.  

Satsuki watches in frustration as she watches one of the Mekanorimon disappear from her map. “God dammit!” she shouts angrily. The Commandramon hold their position as the wolf slices through them. Satsuki grits her teeth. “That Eiji kid is a problem.” She watches Eiji and Loogarmon from her monitor and lets a subtle smirk escape. “We’re not done yet Mr. Nagasumi,” she says to herself.

“Satsuki switches to one of the private channels. “Tachibana! Sakurada! Get in position. We’re ending this!”

Two voices respond in unison “Yes sir!”

Satsuki’s smirk turns into a smile. “Hit that wolf with everything you ‘ve got!”

Eiji watches the battlefield through Loogarmon’s eyes. The Left flank was now considerably weakened. He catches a glimpse of Koske and Yulin’s bitter battle over the Gateway.

“So that’s what Dorumon’s mega?” Eiji points out.

“We have to do something about that Ouryumon, or else we’re not getting through that gate,” Loogarmon adds.

“That’s going to be tricky. There’s too many forces in play. For now, lets just focus on our mission.”

“Should I digivolve one more time?”

Another mega would tip the battle in their favor, but Eiji’s mind jumps back to the incident. They couldn’t afford to lose control here. He shakes the thought. “Right now, we gotta focus on getting that gate open and giving Kosuke his space…”

Gunfire suddenly explodes from both sides. Loogarmon jumps out of the way quickly, narrowly missing the hail of bullets. They scan for a source but don’t see one. “They must be hiding. Hit them with a howling Burner?”

Two large heavily armored bipedal dinosaurs take their place. They carry a riot shield in one hand and a large grenade launcher in the other. 

 Hi-Commandramon, Champion, Android, Virus. Eiji reads as the data populates his console.

Loogarmon braces his body. The feathers down its arms begin to quiver and embers erupt from its maw.

HOWLING BURNER!

Flames rush towards the Hi-Commandramon. One moves forward with its shield raised to absorb the flames. Flames burn brightly around it, but the Hi-Commandramon seems unaffected by the attack. The other Hi-Commandramon jumps from behind its partner and makes a dash towards Loogarmon.

A club comes crashing towards it, but Loogarmon is quick to reach. It raises its arms and blocks the blow. Sparks fly from the impact, and Eiji becomes briefly blinded by its light.

“is the club electric?” Eiji yelps as he initiates a scan of the weapon. The scan confirms his suspicion. It was a stun baton.

“That tingled…”Loogarmon responds.

“Look out!” Eiji shouts as he watches the second Hi-Comandramon ready its attack. It plants its shield on the ground and sticks the muzzle of the grenade launcher through a small cutout.

DCG GRENADE!

THUNK, THUNK, THUNK, THUNK. Grenades start flying out of the slit in the shield. Loogarmon moves out of the way, but a few chunks of shrapnel hits them. Eiji and Loogarmon are now cut off from the rest of the Sons of Chaos. The Digipolice had quickly recovered the space Loogarmon cleared. Eiji couldn’t let the Digipolice interfere with Kosuke’s fight.

Eiji takes a deep breath. “Lets do this Loogarmon.”

Eiji can feel Loogarmon smile as he responds, “I thought you’d never ask.”

Nothing else needed to be said. The two become in synced as mind, body, and soul meld together in a last-ditch effort to turn the tide of battle.

“Digivolve!”

Saloogarmon

A bipedal wolf steps from the light. This wolf is more humanlike, and covered in protective plating. Long rabbit-like ears shot from the top of its head. In its right hand, it carries a large wrench. Two large engines cling to its shoulders and suspend the wolf in the air.

This was not the monster they had released during the incident. This was the demon wolf’s ultimate form.

It looks at the bewildered Hi-Commandramon and takes a deep breath before shouting, “ALL SHALL BURRRNNNN!!!!!”
