Beaten in the Darkness! Milleniummon's masquerade!

Ryo and Scott saw the threatening images of Dynasmon and Crusadermon on the screen. Duskmon was in front of them as well.

Ryo looked at the energy monitors around him. "This isn't good. Their power levels are off the chart. We're dealing with some serious baddies here."

Scott grimaced at the sight of the three horrors.

SCOTT...

'Ah no...'

YES SCOTT... IT'S DUSKMON. HOW ARE YOU BOY?

'Fine... What are you up to?'

JUST SHOWING SOME FRIENDS AROUND... YOU'RE WELCOME TO JOIN US... BRING RYO WITH YOU... I'M SURE HE'LL LOVE THEM TOO... HEHEHE...

Little did Scott and Duskmon now; Seraphimon could hear their conversation? 'So that's it... Duskmon has some sort of telekinetic link with Scott. I bet no one else knows about it. He probably doesn't want to frighten anyone...

Scott looked at Kotemon and nodded. He turned to Seraphimon. "Take us to the surface please."

"What?! You can't be serious. "

"I won't say it again. I want to go up."

"But The Royal Knights are up there, and Duskmon too."

"Exactly."

Seraphimon thought for a moment... "Alright... I'll let you and your Digimon go up... But at the first sign of trouble, I'm pulling you two out..."

Ryo and Cyberdramon stood up. "We're coming too. There's no way we're letting you fight alone."

Seraphimon shook his head. "You all seem determined to be heroes... I'll have to come along too. It'll make the fight much easier."

Scott nodded. "Ok. Seraphimon, you take on Duskmon. Ryo and Cyberdramon can fight as Justimon and take on Dynsamon. That leaves me and Slash Angemon with Crusadermon."

Seraphimon waved his hand over the boys and himself... They all vanished.

An Angemon and Piddomon watched the boys, and their master leave. "I guess that leaves us with the others?" They turned to the other DD who were still floating in the crystals... "Wonder when they'll revive..."

Seraphimon and the boys appeared on the surface. They appeared to be in the mountain area.

"Well... You 3 decided to show up..."

They turned around to see Duskmon laughing at them.

"Just you all? I guess the others had to have a little sleep in. HAHAHA."

Seraphimon began to walk towards the dark hybrid. "You are truly evil Duskmon... Someone needs to smack some sense into you..." Seraphimon flew at Duskmon. "SEVEN HEAVENS!"

Duskmon knocked the fireballs away with his blades. CHING! CHING! CHING! "You'll have to do better than that. Some measly shots of heaven aren't enough to strike me down, you idiot."

Justimon ran at once to help Seraphimon. But before he could attack, Dynasmon flew down into his path.

"BREATH OF WYVERN!"

Justimon was thrown back as a dragon of energy, blasted right into him. He felt nothing but a shocking sensation, pain and velocity as he was thrown into the rocky wall.

CRONCH!

He slid down the wall gradually. "Ow... That hurt..." He struggled as he got up. He looked at the hulking, giant, dragon, knight coming his way.

Dynasmon stomped towards his opponent. "Duskmon does not desire to fight you. But I do." He spread his wings and sharpened his claws. "Get Ready..." Dynasmon flew at Justimon.

Justimon rolled to the left before Dynasmon swung down his massive claws, destroying the wall, sending rocks and gravel everywhere...

Scott and Slash Angemon watched the two separate battles take place. They weren't sure which allies to assist. Suddenly, a high pitched laughter sent chills up their spine.

"OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH!"

Scott and Slash Angemon both shuddered violently at the eerie laughter... They both turned to the direction of the laugh. They saw the magenta knight surrounded with the yellow ribbon.

"Don't feel left out, boys... I'll fight you..."

Slash Angemon darted in front of Scott... "Finally some action."

"Oh you'll get action alright... SPIRAL MASQUERADE!" The razor ribbon suddenly spiraled and slashed all around Slash Angemon like a tornado.

Slash Angemon felt himself being cut all over. He growled and slashed right through the ribbon. He lunged at Crusadermon and slashed down upon her.

CHING!

Crusadermon blocked the attack with her ribbon. "ARGENT FEAR!" A storm of rose petals bombarded Slash Angemon in the face. Crusadermon then roundhouse kicked Slash Angemon in the head, sending him into the ground.

Seraphimon was weaving back and forth, dodging Duskmon's sharp blades... He fell to the ground, feeling a sweep kick cross his legs. "SEVEN HEAVENS!" His heavenly shots blasted Duskmon away from him, but the Hybrid remained on his feet.

"VOLTAGE BLADE!" Justimon produced his energy sword and threw it upon Dynasmon.

Dynasmon immediately caught the blade in his hands and threw Justimon to the ground Stepping on him.

Slash Angemon gasped for air, as Crusadermon's ribbon tightened around his neck. He struggled to get free from the ribbon.

Cusadermon just laughed. "My presence has been known to leave people breathless... But I have to let you down..." She thrust her arm, and Slash Angemon was thrown by the ribbon. He hit the gorunf back first.

Scott cringed as he watched his Digimon be beaten. But his concern turned to fear, when Crusadermon turned to him.

"Ah, the Digimon's battery... I'll have to dispose of you too. SPIRAL MASQUERADE!"

Scott was caught by the ribbon and was lifted into the air. He felt the fabric tighten around him, and felt a few sharp points dig into his skin. He was thrown down into the ground by the ribbon. His head was racked with pain. He felt himself being lifted again, and thrown down once more. He then felt himself being thrown...right into his own Digimon.

Slash Angemon grunted, as his partner was thrown into his stomach.

"ARGENT FEAR!"

A rose storm bombarded human and Digimon, they were hit with rose petals, wind and energy.

From inside of the base, the Angemon and Piddomon watched with horror as their Boss, and the DD and Tamer were getting their asses kicked by the trio of Evil Digimon.

"This is bad!" One Angemon panicked. "They're loosing! We have to do something!"

"We had strict orders not to leave the base unless necessary..." A Piddomon replied.

"NECESSARY?! THEY'RE GOING TO DIE?! WE NEED TO HELP THEM!"

"Calm down! Use some common sense and your brain! We can't just go rushing in!"

"I'd prefer to think with my heart! STANDING BY WATCHING THE HEROES LOSE MAKES YOU A HEARTLSS DIGIMON! DON'T YOU CARE?!"

While the Angemon and Piddomon were arguing like crazy, the Digidestined and Tamers, along with their Digimon were still in their crystals... Not one of them was awake...

Suddenly, however... Mimi began to open her eyes... 'What's going on...? Where am I?' She thought. She looked down, finding herself in some sort of sports underwear/bikini outfit. 'Huh?' She then looked up. She saw the screen. There was Scott, and Slash Angemon. But, they were being beaten alive, by a Crusadermon. She was showing no mercy. She watched as both Human and Digimon were blasted and slashed. One swipe of the razor ribbon, and Scott's shirt was cut open, and a huge scar was carved into his chest, blood spewing from it. She gasped in her mind, and tears began to stream down her cheeks... 'Scott...'

Milleniummon, who was still in the form of Lucemon Falldown Mode, was on the field himself. But up on a ledge. He watched the battle with interest. "These fools... They can barely stand up to the Royal Knights or Duskmon... Guess they're life will end soon enough. But, what the hell? I should join in this fight too..." Milleniummon/Lucemon Falldown Mode spread his sings, and began to fly down into the battlefield.

Duskmon kicked Seraphimon away, into the dirt. He looked up, hearing a faint flapping sound. "Master..."

Justimon, Scott, Slash Angemon, and Seraphimon looked up. "MASTER?! MILLENIUMMON?!"

"Lucemon Falldown Mode right now, actually... But soon, I shall become Milleniummon once more... Too bad you won't be alive to see it..."
