Battle the Knights and Devas come marching

Chaos Gallantmon wandered through the crystal palace. He was feeling rather bothered. "What move would be wise to make? I don't want to try anything drastic...I just don't want Vincent to show me up. But he's part of the army too...I just hope the Devas are willing to cooperate. Antylamon was the only one I couldn't get. How ironic that he's on the Tamer's side. Well he might be out of the question, but that's alright. As long as I control the other 11 Devas, 1 won't make a difference." He continued to patrol the hallways. "I wonder how that flaming chicken Zhuqiaomon will be feeling once he finds out I'm using his soldiers. He wouldn't dare attack. Moon=Millenniummon would flatten him in a moment, even if he is confined to that crystal."

Vincent and Valkyrimon were doing their rounds as well. They crossed into another part of the hallway and heard talking. "Heh Chaos Gallantmon's talking to himself again. He always does that when he's bothered by something." Both dark Digidestined and Digimon shook their heads and continued on their way. They headed into the dark DD briefing room and found the others. "Touji, Tsunami, Konatsu, Seiya, Faith and Akito...you all made it."

"Yes, though Touji and Tsunami were going at it like rabbits for a while." Konatsu snickered and avoided Touji's punch. "Missed me! HA!"

Touji scowled. "Raven-haired idiot. What I do with Tsunami in the bedroom isn't any of your business."

Tsunami tried to roundhouse kick Konatsu, but he back flipped away. "You 2 love birds'll never hit me! Nya, nya!" He stuck his tongue out childishly.

Touji and Tsunami growled and were about to punch him out, when Seiya clapped his hands. "Come on now! Vincent has something to say probably and your childish bickering is holding him up! Vincent, continue."

"Such children, they are..." Akito snorted.

"Hard to believe they're professionals." Faith added with a smirk.

Seiya glared at them.

"Ahem, yes. Thanks Seiya. Anyway, we have a problem now. Chaos Gallantmon seems to have employed the Devas. The problem is these Ultimate Digimon HATE humans. They hate the DD and the Tamers. They probably hate us too...they might cause some chaos in the army. I suggest we be careful. I don't trust the Devas. They only seem interested in harming human beings like ourselves."

"I agree." Seiya spoke up. "When I had BK WarGreymon and myself training, I swear that Majiramon came in and gave both of us dirty looks for an hour. I just hope they can be trusted. But if Moon=Millenniummon brought them back, he must know what he's doing or else he wouldn't have revived them."

The dark DD all agreed to watch out for and keep an eye on the Devas. Little did they know that Chaos Gallantmon was passing by. He just laughed. "How little faith they have? They fear for their own life, just because of some paranoia about the Devas...don't they know that I have a firm hold over the Devas? No dysfuction or chaos will happen on my watch."

Meanwhile at Takato's house, Tai awoke and was feeling groggy. "Man, I wish I didn't have to get up." He pulled off his covers. He had slept in a t-shirt and his boxers. He stretched and looked to his side, seeing the red-haired beauty beside him. He smiled and awoke her with a kiss.

Sora awoke, feeling a nice sensation on her lips. She blushed lightly as she awoke. "Mmm...morning goggle head." She said with a smile.

"Morning, Love Angel." Tai said. He pulled the covers back. Sora's choice of sleepwear was a buttoned-up dress shirt, that was currently unbuttoned, exposing her black bra and panties. Tai blushed heavily and had to suppress a nosebleed at Sora's sexy, underwear clad body, but also smiled.

Sora giggled at Tai's reaction. "Doesn't it turn you on Tai?" She asked with a seductive tone and rolled on top of Tai.

"Yeah...pretty much...it does." Tai admitted nervously as he felt Sora snake her arms around him.

"Good." She muttered and kissed him, licking the inside of his top lip as she did so.

"Uh, Rika..."

Tai and Sora heard a sound from Takato's bed. Possibly Takato dreaming.

"Takato..."

But that last voice didn't belong to Takato. Sora buttoned up her shirt and she and Tai went over to the bed. They gently pulled off the covers, and saw Takato...with Rika in his arms. Tai and Sora couldn't help but chuckle.

Takato and Rika awoke from their slumber, only to find Tai and Sora snickering at their position. "Rika...I think we've been caught."

"Oh yeah."

Elsewhere Mimi was waking up from her sleep. She stretched and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She forewent pajamas and had just slept in her underwear and a nightie. Scott was still zonked out as he laid there. Mimi just shook her head and giggled. "Time to wake old sleepy head up." She ran a hand through Scott's dark blond hair and gently kissed his lips.

Scott opened his eyes to find a pair of chocolate brown eyes, much like his own, looking back at him. "Morning Meems, sleep well?" He asked as he got up. He also wore a T-shirt, but had some pajama pants on as well.

"Well, I had a great teddy bear." She said and winked at him.

Scott blushed. "Yeah...and you were quite frisky last night, as I recall. You did a little more than sleep with me, if you know what I mean."

Mimi just smiled. "Oh, as if you didn't enjoy it."

"Uh, maybe I came at a bad time."

Scott looked over and saw Henry. He mentally slapped himself for the sex talk. Until he saw someone else come out of Henry's room.

"Henry?" Scott asked slyly. "Who's she?"

"She?" Henry turned around and realized that Jeri had followed him out, and was wearing HIS shirt. "Well uh...we've been caught."

Ryo stepped out into the morning light. Earlier, he had been told that Takato and Rika were now a couple. He was a bit saddened that Rika had chosen Takato, but he got over it, for he knew that she was happy with Takato. He had other things to worry about anyway. The return of the Devas was one. "Millenniummon must be trying to assemble a strong army if he's revived the Devas. I wonder what the sovereigns are saying about this, especially Zhuqiaomon." He turned to Cyberdramon who was waking himself. "What do you think Cyberdramon?"

"I wish there was some way we could talk to the sovereigns about what's happening with Millenniummon. Though I'm not looking forward to facing Zhuqiaomon again. Ugh...how can anyone stand that phoenix's personality? Humans saved the Digital World and yet he still hates them and resents the other's love for them. The Devas seem to share his view...except for Antylamon. He's the only one who was tamed and realized that humans aren't as evil as Zhuqiaomon says they are."

Ryo nodded. "You're right about that. But I wonder what Zhuqiaomon will think when he learns of the Digidestined. We already know the reaction of the Devas. Zhuqiaomon will probably be furious. Then again he is a virus and viruses are normally the malevolent kind, although many prove otherwise. I just hope that Zhuqiaomon isn't the kind that will side with Millenniummon. That would be disastrous if that happened." Ryo shuddered at the thought.

Ryo and Cyberdramon continued to talk, thinking of how to go about bringing down Millenniummon's forces.

Matt stepped out to take in some fresh air and had overheard Ryo talking to Cyberdramon. "Woah...it sounds like a lot is happening. These Devas sound like tough customers."

Ryo turned and saw Matt. "You heard what I said, huh?"

"Yeah pretty much. My friends and I have met Azulongmon before and he was quite nice. I hate the sound of this...Zhuqiaomon though. He sounds WAY too unfriendly."

"He is. It's best if we don't run into him. This Digimon Sovereign will hinder us, more than help us. He hates humans with a passion." Ryo continued to tell Matt about this dimension's Digi-World.

At Takato's house, Agumon and Biyomon were curled up together on the couch while Guilmon had "somehow" curled up in Renamon's lap. Tai, Sora, Rika and Takato were coming downstairs after getting dressed and saw their Digimon partners in their current positions.

"Looks like we're not the only ones who did more than sleep last night?" Takato snickered.

After breakfast and explaining to Takato's parents why Rika was here, Digidestined, Tamers and Digimon alike stepped out of the house. Little did they know that they were being watched by 2 mysterious assailants. "Ah, so the 4 pairs of love birds have arrived."

Tai, Agumon and the gang turned a corner when they thought they heard footsteps on the roof of a building. Renamon sensed something. "Someone's following us. Either Chaos Gallantmon's Devas or the dark Digidestined."

"The latter I'm afraid." A male voice said. Dynasmon suddenly swooped down in front of the gang and Touji hopped off his back. "So you're the Digidestined and Tamers I've heard so much about."

"We're pleased to meet you." Dynasmon stated.

"I'm Touji, and this is my Digimon Dynasmon. I've looked forward to fighting you from the stories Seiya and Konatsu told me."

Tai nodded to the others that they should run and find a safe place. But when they turned, they found Tsunami and Crusadermon walking towards them. "Where are you going? The party hasn't started yet."

"BREATH OF WYVERN!"

"ARGENT FEAR!"

Everyone ducked from the 2 attacks.

"We better get moving." Tai said as he pulled out his Digivice. Everyone else pulled out their Digivice, or D-Arc and cards.

"AGUMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO...WARGREYMON!"

"BIYOMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO...PHOENIXMON!"

"GUILMON BIOMERGE TO...GALLANTMON!"

"RENAMON BIOMERGE TO...SAKUYAMON!"

The 4 Mega Digimon each took an opponent. WarGreymon and Gallantmon took Dynasmon. Phoenixmon and Sakuyamon took Crusadermon.

WarGreymon and Gallantmon charged forward with their attacks.

"TERRA FORCE!"

"LIGHTNING JOUST!"

Both energy attacks hurtled towards Dynasmon. But he had other plans. "DRAGON'S ROAR!" Both attacks coming at him were nullified. He unsheathed his claws and flew at WarGreymon and Gallantmon.

The 2 Digimon flew out of the way...while Dynasmon stopped and looked for them. Gallantmon suddenly appeared and grabbed Dynasmon from behind, allowing WarGreymon to attack. "MEGA CLAW!" The attack drilled against Dynasmon's body and armor.

Dynasmon felt the pain of the attack, but countered. He threw Gallantmon over him and at WarGreymon. The 2 Digimon collided with each other, allowing Dynasmon to strike them. "BREATH OF WYVERN!"

WarGreymon and Gallantmon had no time to dodge. They were hit with the full force of the attack.

"SPIRAL MASQUERADE!" Crusadermon's ribbon wrapped tightly around Sakuyamon. He pulled the ribbon and threw Sakuyamon into Phoenixmon. "ARGENT FEAR!" Sakuyamon and Phoenixmon were bombarded with a rose storm and sent flying.

"STARLIGHT EXPLOSION!" Phoenixmon let loose an attack that burned all the rose petals. She swooped down and attacked once again. "CRIMSON FLAME!"

Crusadermon dodged and drop kicked Phoenixmon. He wagged his finger in front of her. "Tsk, tsk. Charging at an armed opponent is so unwise." He didn't realize that Sakuyamon was right behind him.

Sakuyamon raised her staff and struck Crusadermon on the head, causing him to hit the ground. But he wasn't down for long and quickly managed to get up.

"Psh...was that supposed to hurt? ARGENT FEAR!" Sakuyamon was thrown into the air.

WarGreymon hacked and slashed at Dynasmon's form, trying to hit him. "Ugh, this guy's fast! How can he move so quickly with that armor on?"

"That's my secret." Dynasmon kicked WarGreymon in the stomach, but failed to avoid being hit in the back.

"FINAL ELYSIUM!" Gallantmon's attack grazed Dynasmon's back and caused him to sink a bit.

WarGreymon saw his chance and gathered up power, as he noticed that Dynasmon was beginning to move away. "TERRA FORCE!" He fired the shot quickly and threw it at Dynasmon who was shaking off the last attack. He tried to dodge, but failed. "WOAH!" The attack hit Dynasmon with full force.

Dynasmon looked down and saw that he was banged up pretty badly. He noticed that his right wing was damaged and his side was bleeding badly. "Ugh...impressive WarGreymon...Gallantmon. You're quite strong. You actually managed to injure me."

Touji looked on in shock. "Dynasmon was injured?! How can that be?"

Crusadermon was just as surprised. "What happened?" He suddenly was hoisted up into the air. "What's going on?!" He looked up and saw Phoenixmon.

Phoenixmon used the distraction to grab Crusadermon. She tightened her grip on him and he could feel her crushing his body.

Sakuyamon came up and used her chance to strike. "SPIRIT CRUSHER!" Fox spirits launched themselves at Crusadermon hitting him all over.

After he took enough punishment, Phoenixmon threw him into Dynasmon.

Dynasmon suddenly felt Crusadermon hit him and the 2 knight Digimon fell down face first into the ground, on top of each other in a heap. They managed to get up, but were weakened by the attacks.

"Urgh. They've gotten stronger since BK WarGreymon, BK MetalGarurumon and Chaos Gallantmon fought them." Dynasmon groaned.

"Should we continue fighting?" Crusadermon asked.

Touji and Tsunami ran up.

"No. We should retreat for now." Touji said. "Quickly!" Both Touji and Tsunami got on their respective Digimon and were about to retreat.

"GIGA SHOT!" But MetalGarurumon killed that chance quickly as his missile hit their path. MetalGarurumon showed up with Matt on his top. They were closely followed by Justimon.

"Matt!" Tai called. "Great timing! Now we've got the dark DD right where we want them."

"These guys were tough to beat." WarGreymon said.

"Never seen these 2 before." Matt admitted. "Could they be friends of Seiya and Konatsu?"

"No doubt about it." MetalGarurumon stated.

"Hey guys! Did we miss anything?"

MegaGargomon, Scott, SlashAngemon, Mimi and Rosemon appeared.

Touji looked around nervously. "How are we gonna get out of this tight situation?"

"TREASURE BALL!"

An attack shot out at Gallantmon who managed to dodge just in time. Everyone looked and there were 11 animal-like Digimon.

"The Devas." Sakuyamon muttered. She looked behind and saw that Touji, Dynasmon, Tsunami and Crusadermon had vanished. "Damn."

"So we have these Digidestined and their Digimon who are considered heroes back in their Digital World?" Makuramon scoffed.

"Disgraceful. This Digital World should be destroyed, along with these brats!" Vijaramon drew his sword.

"Stop! Don't hurt our friends!" Suzie and Antylamon suddenly appeared. Antylamon looked upset. "Don't even think of hurting my friends! Humans are not as bad as you say they are! Humans can be quite good and helpful to Digimon. These Digidestined and their Digimon are considered heroes because they protect their digital world and keep it safe from evil. But you 11 are so pigheaded, you fail to see that."

Pajiramon stepped forward. "Antylamon! They're lying to you! The only good human is a dead one! They're the REAL enemy."

Antylamon scowled and drew his treasure axe. "Is that what you think?! Fine, consider this my permanent resignation from the Devas!"

Suzie jumped down and brought out her D-Arc and Red Card. "DIGIMODIFY! BIOMERGE DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE!"

"ANTYLAMON BIOMERGE TO...KERPYMON!"

The Angel Digimon Kerpymon floated over to his friends and unleashed his Lightning Javelin. "Come on guys. Let's teach these human haters a thing or two."

The DD and Tamers Digimon stared down the Devas in a fight that proved to be rough. Would the Digimon of the Tamers and DD show the Devas real power? Only one way to find out.
