Assault on the Crystal Castle!

All the DD and Tamers where gathered outside Rika's house. The whole city of Shinjuku was in panic at the sight of Moon=Milleniummon's castle.

"THE STRANGE CRYSTAL CASTLE THAT APPEARED AT 8:00 PM HAS CAUSED WIDESPREAD PANIC ACROSS THE CITY. THE JSDF HAS AUTHORIZED A FULL ON ATTACK AT THE STRUCTURE. RECENTLY STRANGE CREATURES HAVE BEEN SIGHTED AROUND THE AREA. THESE CREATURES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED DANGEROUS..." The TV announcer read the report with great seriousness, but you could tell that fear was evident in his voice and eyes.

CLICK!

Tai switched off the TV. "The JSDF don't know what they're getting themselves into. The D-Reaper is back too. It's now on Moon=Milleniummon's side as well. With the D-Reaper, the Devas, and a possessed Zhuqiaomon, he's got the key to apocalypse..." He said with a worried look. "If we're gonna fight. We better be on our toes at all times. We should act quickly before the JSDF comes in. WE have to make sure there's no blood shed of innocent people."

"The JSDF is gonna attack in 2 hours. Defense around the perimeter should be pretty light." Agumon said. "If we attack now, we can break in the palace."

"But..." Gabumon contradicted. "We'll need 2 different parties. We need one group to go in the castle directly, and another to keep the D-Reaper busy."

Matt nodded. "If we all go in at once, the D-Reaper will flatten us... One group can keep the D-Reaper busy, while the main group can infiltrated the castle. We need to decide on the parties... Tai?"

"Okay... I'll lead the castle party. It's better to have the strongest take on Moon=Milleniumon and his goons. I'll need Matt, Sora, Takato, Rika, Scott, Mimi, Logan, Peter and Ryo." Tai turned to the others. "I need the rest of you to deal with the D-Reaper while we storm in. Once my team gets inside, fall back as quick as you can... Now, I've decided that I want Davis to lead the D-Reaper party."

Davis stood up. "Me?"

"Of course, Davis. You're the only one I can trust for second leader."

"Okay..." Davis smiled, then, saluted. "Tai, I won't let you down. I promise."

"What a bunch of fools."

Everyone turned to the direction of the voice. They saw Vincent and Valkyrimon standing on the edge of the wall. Rath and Anubismon were next to them. Vincent smiled maliciously.

"You Digidestined and Tamers, talking about how you're going to bring us down... You should give up now, while you have the chance..." Vincent said.

"But if you want to fight us so badly, we'll be waiting." Rath said. "Tsunami and Touji will be waiting for you at the crystal gates. Even if you defeat them, you'll have to deal with Devas and Chaos Gallantmon... Some of our other Dark DD will want to join in on the fun as well... Good luck, you'll need it..." Both Dark DD and Digimon disappeared.

Tai just scowled at the disappearing forms. "We're not gonna back off cause of some stupid threats... Let's go!"

The DD, Tamers, and Digimon stood up and began to walk out of Rika's yard, and towards the former site of Shinjuku Park. They looked up above and saw circling forms of flying Virus Digimon...

Tai and Davis nodded to each other. Agumon and Veemon nodded to each other. It was time to rock... Everyone whipped out Digivices, D-Arcs, Cards, or whatnot and transformed their Digimon.

The original Digidestined went first.

Davis' party got started as Imperialdramon faced a group of Jeri Type ADR. "POSITRON CANNON!" He fired at the incoming group deleting them. The Shinigami Reaper reared its ugly head, accompanied by 2 optimizers. It unleashed its many sickle arms and roared.

Imperialdramon flew right towards it with both MegaGargomon behind him. They let loose upon the beast.

"POSITRON CANNON!"

"BIG MISSILE!"

Three attacks shot out and bombarded the Shinigami reaper. It roared in pain and reeled back launching sickles at its attackers.

The 3 digimon quickly scattered and dodged the blades being thrown their way.

Beezlemon was rapidly shooting at the 2 optimizers. The ADR tried to grab him but he was too fast for them. "DARK SHOT!" His dual gun fire deleted both Optimizers.

"OCEAN LOVE!" Marine Angemon fired heart waves at a Horn Striker coming at him. It was fended off until one more Ocean Love deleted it.

While the members of Davis' team fought off the D-Reaper and its agents, Tai's team went on the move. They flew towards the crystal castle as fast as they could. ADR attacked them from different sides, but they either fought them off, or Davis' team did it for them. ADR agents went flying everywhere, while others were fizzled away into data.

Tai and WarGreymon looked up ahead as they shot down a horn striker. The castle gates were right up ahead. Suddenly the D-Reaper agents stopped attacking. They retreated back inside the D-Reaper. Tai's team slowly set down at the entrance of the crystal castle.

"Guess they're waiting for us..." Tai said.

"Let's not disappoint them." WarGreymon added.

The gates opened up. What was odd was that they mad no sound as they opened. The Castle team stepped inside. They looked around and found themselves in the courtyard. The gates closed behind them, but with a loud, "CHING!"

Sora thought she heard the sound of 2 flying Digimon coming their way. She looked up and saw 2 shapes coming their way. She pointed upwards, and everyone looked at their greeters. Sure enough, it was Dynasmon and Crusadermon, with Touji and Tsunami on top of their respectable Digimon.

"Welcome to Moon=Milleniummon's castle. You're the guests of honor here..." Touji stated.

"We'll burn you all to death, so don't try to escape." Tsunami snickered.

The Castle Team's Digimon stood forward in fighting stance, as Dynasmon and Crusadermon approached. Behind them was a small army of Knightmon.

"BREATH OF WYVERN!" Dynasmon shot out his dragon flame attack right at the Castle team.

Everyone dodged as the huge flame dragon attacked.

"MEGA CLAW!" WarGreymon lunged at Dynasmon with claws extended. CHING! Both WarGreymon and Dynasmon grappled with each other.

MetalGarurumon chose this time to lunge at Crusadermon. "GIGA SHOT!" He fired his missile at the Magenta fighter.

Crusadermon dodged and lashed out his yellow ribbon which wrapped around MetalGarurumon's neck. "Bad Dog! Bow at your master's feet!"

The other Digimon wanted to help, but were surrounded by, and had to fight against, the Knightmon. BERSERK SWORD! The Knightmon attacked form all sides.

Justimon flipped over and landed behind 2 Knightmon. "MOLTEN BLADE!" His attack cleaved the armored ultimates in 2.

Gallantmon smacked one Knightmon away with his lance before charging at another and impaling it on his lance. He threw that Knightmon into a wall, and watched as it shattered into many pieces and scattered everywhere.

Phoenixmon could fly, so she was able to swoop down and pick up 2 Knightmon in her talons. She flew high into the air before dropping them on 2 more. There was a loud crash as the armored creatures shattered into pieces and scattered all around.

WarGreymon was busy trading blows with Dynasmon. He launched a Mega Claw attack that was parried by Dynasmon. The latter counter attacked with a dashing punch, but War Greymon ducked away, and sweep kicked his foe, causing him to fall on his back.

MetalGarurumon struggled as Crusadermon tightened his grip and hold on him. He felt himself loosing the ability to breath. He had to break free. "METAL WOLF CLAW!" He managed to say, and he unleashed his artillery upon his captor. Crusadermon was bombarded with missile and he lost his grip. Metal Garurumon pride himself free and pounced upon his foe, pinning him to the ground and staring him dead in the face. "COCYTUS BREATH!" Metal Garurumon leapt into the air as he ice-blasted Crusadermon.

Gallantmon shattered another Knightmon and turned around. War Greymon was on the ground trying to push Dynasmon off of him. "LIGHTNING JOUST!" Gallantmon's attack threw Dynasmon off of WarGreymon.

"SPIRIT CRUSHER!" Sakuyamon fired a wave of spirits at Crusadermon, trying to force him away from MetalGarurumon.

"GOLDEN RIPPER!" One forceful attack from SlashAngemon, and the last of the Knightmon dissolved into data and floated up into the sky.

Dynasmon looked at the dissolving data. "Ugh, the Knightmon are toast. We can't let the DD in the castle! We'll fight you brats down till doomsday! DRAGON ROAR!" Dynasmon knocked down the DD's Digimon with a deafening roar, all except WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon, Gallantmon, and Sakuyamon. The 4 of them faced Dynasmon and Crusadermon. It was time to show the Dark DD that they can't run this city into the ground.

"BREATH OF WYVERN!"

"ARGENT FEAR!"

Both attacks came at the 4, full powered and ready to destroy everything in their path. The 4 Digimon all jumped out of the way and made their moves.

"TERRA FORCE!"

"FINAL ELYSIAN!"

WarGreymon and Gallantmon fired their attacks upon Dynasmon.

"METAL WOLF CLAW!"

"SPIRIT CRUSHER!"

Metal Garurumon and Sakuyamon fired their attacks upon Crusadermon.

Both Knights dodged the attacks and prepared to counter. However, Gallantmon and Sakuaymon appeared behind them and grabbed them in a tight lock.

"You 2 have caused enough trouble with spying on us and recruiting other DD against us. If you surrender now, you can be pardoned." Tai told Touji and Tsunami.

"We'd rather die!" Touji spat.

"We'll remain loyal to Moon=Milleniummon, no matter what!"

Tai and Matt shook their heads. "Do you really want to through your lives away, all for the sake of some maniac god?"

Suddenly Dynasmon and Crusadermon broke free and began to fly down to kill Tai and Matt.

"NO!" WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon stood in front and attacked.

"TERRA FORCE!"

"COCYTUS BREATH!"

Dynasmon and Crusadermon were hit full force and sent reeling back, straight into their own Partners.

The attacks fully engulfed Touji, Tsunami, Dyansmon and Crusadermon. They were sent crashing into a crystal wall. CRASH! Shards flew everywhere. Giant pieces of crystal were shaken off and fell to where the Dark DD and their Digimon were... down... down... SMASH! They were buried underneath the fallen chunks of crystal.

Tai and War Greymon grimaced at the sight. "What a waste... They could've lived a normal life or be one of us... But being loyal to Milleniummon caused their lives to be cut short..." Tai muttered.

"Are the rest doomed to this same fate?" WarGreymon wondered. "Hopefully we can at least save some of them."

Everyone looked up to see the inner castle door opening. It looked like they were allowed to advance inside now... Tai's group began to walk inside the castle.

Meanwhile, up above, Vincent and Valkyrimon watched them. "Tsuanmi and Touji have failed. They're not as good as they say they are... No matter. The others shall surely take care of them. If not, we'll have to do it..."

Both DD and Digimon vanished...
