-August 1 9:08 AM Spiral Mountain Dungeon-
Kirito and Asuna dodged a barrage of throwing daggers tossed at them by Enchanted Clown. True the boss was only level 45, it did have eight health bars, 6 of which had been depleted by Asuna and Kirito. The seventh was three fourths of the way gone at the moment.
"This wouldn't take as long if it didn't move so damned quickly!" Asuna roared enraged at the jester's antics. Enchanted Clown then threw out a chain of handkerchiefs like a whip. Using Dual Wield, Kirito swung both his swords, slicing the whip into pieces.
"Nice work," Asuna complimented. She pivoted and leapt up, delivering a powerful slash towards Enchanted Clown's face.
"Asuna look out!" Kirito ordered. Enchanted Clown raised a broad knife and intent to slash the girl. Kirito quickly came to her aid, and blocked with both of his swords. Using this as an advantage, Asuna charged up Star Splash. With a powerful barrage of stabs, Enchanted Clown's life was reduced to the last half of his final health bar. Just as she did, Enchanted Clown bellowed infuriatingly. A powerful shockwave shot out of the clown's mouth and pushed the duo far.
"That was barely anything," Asuna pointed out confused, noticing they had only lost 50 life points.
"Uh, Asuna, didn't Taiki say Piedmon turned him and the others into keychains?" Kirito asked horribly afraid.
"Yeah why, oh," Asuna then turned to see Enchanted Clown was now triple its previous size. In comparison, Asuna and Kirito were roughly the same size as keychain figurines.
"I hate Argomon so much right now," Kirito groaned annoyed.
"I know," Asuna agreed. It when here, their annoyance turned into fear as the Clown revealed its knives and started tossing them at the duo.
"I really HATE Argomon so much right now!" Kirito shouted horrified as he and Asuna ran away from the onslaught of blades.
Meanwhile in the puppeteer room, Silica and Lisbeth were handling Mad Marionette better than expected. The boss in question had only two health bars itself. Instead it relied on a large army of puppet themed minions called splinters. They were more on the lines of failed wood carvings that barely resembled human forms. Each hand was a jagged wood spike. Since the fight started, Lisbeth and Silica had destroyed about forty splinters and had cut Marrionette's health in half.
"This is surprisingly going well," Lisbeth commented.
"I know it's weird," Silica added, tossing a throwing spike at the puppet boss.
Klein and Agil were dodging the attacks from Metallic Dragon. The beast fired a bombardment of blasts from its back cannons. Despite its firepower, it only had 3 health bars to start and it was down to its last one.
"Is it wrong I'm grateful we're fighting a fake and not the original Machinedramon?" Agil asked, running for dear life.
"No, not at all, I'm in the same boat as you are!" Klein admitted.
Taiki meanwhile, had just woken up from a sleep inducing attack from Armored Leviathan, were to his surprise Heathcliff had just dealt the final blow to the creature.
"How long was I out for?" Taiki asked confused.
"Not long, it only had one health bar, surprising for a beast so mighty," Heathcliff said, offering a friendly hand.
Taiki's eyes were still adjusting and he was still waking up a bit, but he could have sworn he saw a purple icon above Heathcliff. "Did I miss anything else?"
"Nope, but I did get the key in question," Heathcliff said with a smile.
"Let's get this done and over with," Taiki said, walking out of the room and into the main hall. The duo was greeted by the Digimon, happily snacking away at the food Asuna had brought them.
"You just can't help yourselves can you?" Heathcliff asked with a whimsical smile.
"It's in our nature," Agumon said with his own smirk, a bottle of water in his claws. It was about five minutes later, the others had returned, each holding their own keys.
"If I had to guess, the keys go in order from when we beat the Dark Masters, so it goes Metalseadramon, Puppetmon, Machinedramon, then Piedmon," Taiki explained, as everyone inserted their keys.
"What bothers me is why he was so obsessed with doing it this way," Asuna asked as she inserted the clown key. "Why go to all this trouble to make an homage to the Dark Masters?"
"Only one way to find out," Kirito brought up, drawing his swords.
The door opened up with a loud creaking noise, but to their collective surprise, nothing happened.
"Well, that's kinda a letdown," Huckmon said, breaking the silence. Nobody could deny the little lizard had a point.
It was a short walk into a larger chamber, almost like it was a battlefield. On an upper level overhang, stood Argomon, PoH, and Kibaou. Tsukaimon was nowhere in sight, while Devidramon laydown on the ground.
"Did you enjoy the preview?" Argomon sneered victoriously.
"What preview, what are you up too?" Heathcliff demanded.
"You see, during my time rebuilding myself, I found something, a few stray pieces of Apocalymon," Argomon's answer more than startled the humans and Digimon. "So I messed with it a little bit, and created two Digimon from it, well, take a guess who?"
"Gazimon and Tsukaimon," Kirito answered darkly.
"Enough chat, do it NOW!" Kibaou ordered, holding both the Kazemaru Shield and Raijin Spear.
"You ass, those are mine!" Taiki ordered as everyone took a fighting stance.
Devidramon began to howl in pain as Kibaou's digivice lit up a menacing black with dark wisps of pixelated smoke coming off of it. The beast thrashed around as it began to glow, forcing everyone to scatter. Devidramon roared in pain as the pixel smog flew into the beast.
"Don't tell me this means what I think it does!" Silica begged horrified.
"Would it surprise you?" Lunamon said dryly.
DEV-DEVIDRAMMMON MATR-TRIX DI-DIGIVOLVE TOOOO MEPHISTOMON!
Although corrupted, Devidramon digivolved into his Ultimate form. Rather than a dragon, Mephistomon took on a demonic goat like creature. It had black and purple fur covering his main body, with red and black stripes covering the arms and legs. His fists and head were paper white, while it had two dull brown horns on his head. On his back was a pair of black demon wings. Worried, Agil took a look at his digivice.
Mephistomon
Level: Ultimate
Attribute: Virus
Type: Evil
Attacks: Black Sabbath, Dark Cloud
"Well then, everybody!" Taiki ordered. The Digimon nodded, however Agumon clutched his stomach in pain.
HUCKMON MATRIX DIGIVOLVE TO SAVIOR HUCKMON
RENAMON MATRIX DIGIVOLVE TO TAOMON
LALAMON MATRIX DIGIVOLVE TO LILAMON
GAOMON MATRIX DIGIVOLVE TO MACHGAOGAMON
FALCOMON MATRIX DIGIVOLVE TO CROWMON
LUNAMON MATRIX DIGIVOLVE TO CRESEMON
Agumon huddled over as the others reached their ultimate forms. "Oh, no my stomach," He groaned anguished.
"Agumon, what's wrong?" Taiki asked his downed partner.
"It looks like he's been paralyzed," Asuna pointed out. "But how did-," That was as far as she got to when Mephistomon let out a feral roar.
"Black Cloud!" Mephistomon shot out a powerful gust of black smoke causing the team to disperse.
"Taiki, go, take care of Agumon, we got this!" Kirito said drawing both swords. While he hated to leave his friends behind, Argo helped Taiki take Agumon into the original chamber. The clouds continued to seep out of the goat demon, evidently not stopping any time soon.
"What the hell's going on here?" Taiki asked confused. Just then, he remembered the water bottle Agumon drank, and walked over to it. Using his scanning skins, he saw it was infected with a paralyzing poison. "This came from the Knights, but I know it wouldn't be As-HOLY!" Taiki quickly dodged as Kura eel swung his sword.
"You, you did this?" Taiki demanded, drawing Phoenix Flare.
"Of course I did, how else was I going to get into PoH's graces again?" Kuradeel sneered victoriously.
"I heard rumors of Laughing Coffin Members posing as other guild members, but I never knew one of them hid in the KoB," Argo admitted concerned.
"You psychotic bastard," Taiki said angered, then charged with his sword.
"NAIL BONE!" A bright flash of light slammed into the two humans.
Both players recovered quickly, despite having lost 5000 HP each. The three humans and two Digimon looked up in shock and horror to see their assailant, latched onto the ceiling. It was a red and black skeleton like Digimon with an executioner's cap and black pants. In his hand was a staff with a yellow orb at the end.
"A SkullSatanmon, I always hated this guy," Taiki said angered as his Digivice lit up.
SkullSatanmon
Level: Ultimate
Type: Ghost
Attribute: Virus
Attacks: Nail Bone, Skull Hammer
"Where'd you come from?" Argo asked confused and frightened.
"At a guess, you're Tsukaimon, PoH's partner," Taiki summarized, evidently angered.
"Right on the money human!" SkullSatanmon cackled, dropping down from the ceiling. "I was sent as a little insurance policy should someone decided to come in for backup,"
"But, but why?" Kuradeel asked mortified. "I've always been loyal to Laughing Coffin," Kuradeel was even more shocked as SkullSatanmon rammed his staff through the player's chest.
"Because PoH always hated you," The skeleton sneered as Kuradeel vanished in a pixilated swarm. SkullSatanmon turned to the others. "Now who's next?"
"I am," Kudamon said, dropping off of Argo's shoulders. "You face Kentaurusmon, one of the Royal Knights demon,"
"Royal Knights?" Taiki asked astonished.
"It means his strength is on par with that of me as Omnimon," Agumon said with a struggle, still paralyzed. Both Taiki and Argo looked amazed at this little guy.
"You're bluffing!" SkullSatamon panicked. "There's no way a runt like you could be that giant,"
"This enclosed space may be too much for my mega form, however," Kudamon continued as he started to glow.
KUDAMON DIGIVOLVE TO CHIRINMON
An armored horse like creature took to the area in place of the ferret like form. It had green and gold armor with large wings. On top of his head was a red horn. Taiki's digivice lit up at the appearance of their ally.
Chirinmon
Level: Ultimate
Type: Holy Beast
Attribute: Vaccine
Attacks: Wind Cutter Sword, Knowledge of Swift, Holy Wave
"Wind Cutter Sword!" With incredible speed and power, Chirinmon's horn lit up with yellow energy and charged straight at SkullSatanmon. The skeleton barely moved away in time, as he was nicked in the shoulder by the blade.
"Should we help him?" Argo asked confused.
"Nah, SkullSatanmon's really fast, this is pretty much our best bet," Taiki admitted, remembering how badly one had actually beaten the second and original team before.
"Oh ok, what about the others?" Argo asked concerned, hearing the explosions and blasts.
"I'm not leaving Agumon behind, not for anything," Taiki said firmly. He then sorted through his items, hoping he brought with him something to cure paralysis. Both Taiki and Argo had to hold their ground as the force of the two super speed combatants caused powerful wind shear.
Back with the other Defenders, the human members of the team were presently avoiding the rampage of Mephistomon. Silica was riding on Cresemon's shoulders as she jumped up, loading her ax onto her shield. "ICE ARCHERY!"
The attack nailed Mephistomon at the wings, freezing them and causing the goat to howl in annoyance.
"Rage Streit/ Winning Knuckle!" Both SaviorHuckmon and MachGaogamon delivered their hand to hand combat attacks to either side of Mephistomon's face.
"Fire Jewels!" Crowmon fired a barrage of flaming feathers into Mephistomon's chest.
"Thousand Spell/ Lila Shower!" Both Taomon and Lilamon fired from the sides, evidently, causing Mephistomon to howl in pain, taking several steps back.
"BLACK SABBATH!" Mephistomon fired a concentrated energy blast from his hands. The attack caused Taomon and Lilamon to scatter at the attack. Asuna was thrown from her partner's back at the attack.
"This is crazy, it's like Mephistomon's nothing but rage," Asuna groaned in pain. Just then, Mephistomon took several steps back as he began to pixelate.
"Looks like your secret weapon's not exactly at full strength," Kirito taunted to Argomon. "He's falling apart at the seams,"
"You damned piece of," Kibaou declared. He attempted to run forward, only to be stopped by Argomon.
"Mephistomon's not my secret weapon, I've got something even better planned," PoH smirked at Argomon's comment, while it confused Kibaou.
"AHH!" SkullSatanmon shouted as he was thrown into the room by Chirinmon's latest attack.
"Damn you're fast," Taiki said, having given Agumon an antidote crystal, as he and Argo ran into the room.
"What happened?" Klein asked astonished.
"Kuradeel was a Laughing Coffin spy, and Kudamon's a Royal Knight," Taiki explained. "The stalker's dead by the way,"
"I knew he was a creep, but not that bad," Asuna admitted, only slightly surprised.
"Tsukaimon?" Kirito asked, pointing to the skeleton. Taiki nodded.
"Time for plan B you two!" Argomon ordered with a dark chuckle.
"I do not like how he said that," Taiki admitted frightened.
Both Mephistomon and SkullSatanmon looked at one another and nodded, just as the two lit up.
SKULLSATANMON/MEPHISTOMON DNA DIGIVOLVE TO!
Kibaou was startled as his digivice lit up in harmony with PoH's. Both SkullSatamon and Mephistomon turned into a pixelated aura, then spun around one another like a DNA helix. When the two collided with one another midair a new Digimon appeared out of the dark aura. It was a Digimon clad in black, blue, and red pirate gear with gold skeleton themed armor. It had two flintlock pistols and sabers at each hip. On the lower half of his back had a pair of cape like wings. He had a long black and gold spinal themed tail, ready to slash his opponents. His shoulders had a thinner set of arms attached to it. The Digimon looked up sinisterly as he looked up, introducing himself:
BOLTBOUTAMON!
-Odaiba Campsite: 9:42 AM-
As Taiki and the defenders were dealing with the four bosses, Kari and the others had been fighting for a while, and barely making headway. Just then, one Pteramon and a Tankdramon lit up in a near identical fashion.
"What's going on?" Sugou ordered from his assistant.
"I think they're combining together," The assistant said astonished from the readings.
PTERAMON/TANKDRAMON DNA DIGIVOLVE TO HOWITZDRAMON
The two collided, and formed a brand new Digimon. It was a military green Boeing B-17 themed mechanical dragon Digimon with two propeller turbines on each wing. It had a set of arms and legs attached to its undercarriage. On its wings were red lines binary codes instead of army symbols. Its face was a menacing European dragon themed design with two machine gun themed horns on the back of its head. The titan then released a scream so terrible, it deleted the rest of the army.
"Well, damn it all," Kari said astonished.
"Amazing," Sugou admitted, never once imagining this was possible. "This must be a new variate of Corruption Mode,"
"Dragon Roar Missile!" The machine fired a powerful missile from its mouth. It exploded, releasing a massive fireball from it.
"ICE WOLF BITE!" MetalGarurumon launched a barrage of ice missiles from all over his body, attempting to slow down the beast. The attacks hit, but barely scratched the dragon. Instead Howitzdramon was pushed away from the intense blast.
Howitzdramon recovered, then turned its attention towards MetalGarurumon. "VORTEX SLAMMER!" The propellers spun at greater speeds, conjuring four twisters that slammed into the Cyborg Digimon, actually cracking some of the armor. Angewomon and Stingmon quickly flew up to catch him.
"You going to be alright?" Angewomon questioned worried.
"I'll be fine," MetalGarurumon admitted reluctantly, then noticed something fly past. "But better than Howitzdramon's going to be,"
"SPIRAL MASQUERADE!" The ribbons on Crusadermon's body then slashed at Howitzdramon, greatly damaging it.
Howitzdramon recovered quickly, then flew straight up into the air, diving at Crusadermon, while barrel rolling. "DIVE BOMB DRILL!" Crusadermon narrowly dodged the attack in time, but the force of the attack pushed her away a bit.
"I doubt I can handle this beast myself," Crusadermon cursed.
-Spiral Mountain Dungeon same time-
Boltboutamon just floated in the air menacingly, eyeing the Data Defenders. Nervously, Asuna brought her wrist up to see what they were dealing with.
Boltboutamon
Level: Mega
Attribute: Virus
Type: Demon Man
Attacks: Pernicious Waltz, Quarzione
"That thing just scares me," Asuna shook horribly at the beast.
"Don't worry, we go-AH!" That was as far as SaviorHuckmon got before he was slammed into the wall behind him at blinding speeds. Boltboutamon then reappeared behind MachGaogamon.
"What?" The wolf man Digimon failed to react in time, only to be taken out too.
"Grab him, quickly!" Cresemon ordered, only for Boultbotamon's swords to quickly multiply.
"Pernicious Waltz!" The blades were sent in every direction, slashing into Digimon and players alike. The attacks left each player with 100 HP each, except Heathcliff whose shield protected him. Chirinmon was then delivered a powerful blow to his side, reverting him back to Kudamon.
"He's too fast!" The leader of the KoB called out. Just then, Boultbotamon grabbed his stomach in pain, then doubled over. He began to pixelate violently as both SkullSatanmon and Mephistomon's heads appeared where Boultbotamon's should be.
"Of course, Mephistomon was coming undone at the seams already so," Asuna began.
"Boultbotamon's falling apart, we have to hit him hard, now," Klein realized.
"Sorry Klein, I don't have it in me," Crowmon groaned in pain.
"There's nothing we can do," Kirito gripped annoyed.
"We can't, but Agumon can," SaviorHuckmon realized, confusing everyone. "Get ready to catch!" A bright aura shot out of SaviorHuckmon, reducing him back to Huckmon, and went into Agumon. "Everyone, whatever power you've got left, give it to Agumon, he's the only one who hasn't fought yet,"
"He's on to something," MachGaogamon groaned, before doing the same. The other Ultimate Digimon nodded, although Crescemon was more reluctant.
Agumon soon absorbed the energy from his friends, his eyes lit up and he triumphantly bellowed: "I FEEL THE POWER!"
AGUMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO WARGREYMON!
In Agumon's place was a mighty humanoid lizard in gold, silver, and red armor. Attached to his arms were triple bladed clawed gauntlets. On his back was a gigantic shield with Taiki's crest of courage on it. Happily Kirito took a look at what their friend became.
WarGreymon
Level Mega
Type: Dragon Man
Attribute: Vaccine
Attacks: Terra Force, Great Tornado, Brave Shield, Mega Claw, War Driver
"I suddenly love our chances," Silica said offhandedly.
"Me too, go get him WarGreymon!" Lisbeth called out.
"With pleasure, WAR DRIVER!" Wargreymon's claws ignited with power then charged at Boltboutamon. The skeletal demon noticed the attack and barely dodged in time.
"Quarizone!" Boltboutamon fired a barrage of powerful looking bullets from his guns. WarGreymon quickly summoned his shield, blocking the attack, although the bullets were embedded into the piece of metal.
WarGreymon returned the shield to its previous location, then put his two open palms near each other. The Dragon Man Digimon pulled his arms high above his head, conjuring a small super nova. "TERRA FORCE!" He tossed it, slamming the great fireball into Boltboutamon.
"HURRY UP AND WIN DAMN IT!" Kibaou demanded infuriatingly. Just then, Argomon pushed Kibaou to the lower floors. With a thud, the spike haired player landed roughly. "What the hell is your problem?"
"My problem is your mouth, now go on and back it up!" Argomon ordered.
With a snarl, Kibaou ran forward, spear out, and aimed at Kirito, only for Taiki to block it. "Those are mine, and I'll take them back thank you very much!" Pushing him off, Taiki charged up the attack Phoenix Screech, which unleashed a fire infused sonic boom like attack. Summoning the Kazemaru Shield, Kibaou barely blocked it in time, however the attack did cost Kibaou some HP.
"What the hell?" Kibaou demanded infuriatingly, then turned to Argomon. "I thought you turned this place into a special safe room so anyone allied to you doesn't lose HP?"
"I did," Argomon sneered, getting Kibaou afraid. "Consider this your severance package, you're fire,"
"WHAT!" Kibaou demanded.
"Honestly, are you surprised?" Argomon turned to leave, vanishing with PoH.
"Well, damn," Taiki reluctantly chuckled.
"I wouldn't talk if I were you," Kibaou sneered, turning to see WarGreymon strangely in pain.
"HIS BACK!" Silica realized. Boltboutamon's bullets had left behind a toxic coding, and had begun ripping him apart.
"NO!" Taiki called out in fear.
Simultaneously, both Tai and Matt felt something familiar, the powerful aura they shared whenever Agumon and Gabumon were united as Omnimon. In both Aincrad and the real world, an aura of Omnimon appeared over WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. However the arm was missing of this aura. In Aincrad, he was missing the WarGreymon arm, while at the campsite he was missing the MetalGarurumon arm.
Matt almost felt like Tai was still here, ready to lend a hand. While Taiki strangely knew the original team still needed his help, motivating the two even further.
"Gabumon," Matt said slowly, getting his weakened partner's attention.
"Agumon," Taiki began, causing the armored dragon to get up.
"TAKE HIM DOWN!" The bearers of Courage and Friendship said in perfect unison, as both Mega Digimon absorbed the Omnimon aura.
"WARGREYMON MODE CHANGE TO!" WarGreymon's shield expanded as the inner workings of it turned to blue elongated hexagon shaped pieces, converting it into wings as his claws sharpened with black extensions. His armor seemed to push itself open, giving him more mobility and greater strength. "AMPLIFIED MODE!"
"METALGARURUMON MODE CHANGE TO!" The spikes on MetalGarurumon's shoulders increased as the wings extended into more sword like forms. Stronger red colored pieces of armor covered his front legs as his face gained a metallic variation of his champion form. "AMPLIFIED MODE!"
"Well, that's new," Ken said offhandedly.
"Should we be worried?" Sugou asked his assistant nervously.
"HOWLING TUNDRA!" MetalGarurumon took a deep breath, releasing an awe inspiring frozen twister from his mouth, freezing one of Howitzdramon's wings.
"That would be a yes," The assistant said offhandedly.
"He's all yours," Crusadermon offered, backing off.
MetalGarurumon's wings detached and folded inwards, creating a golden sword which he caught in his jaws. "METAL WOLF SABER!" With his new weapon, MetalGarurumon majestically leapt at the still descending Howitzdramon, ending it.
"Damn, I'm awesome, MetalGarurumon said, reverting straight back to Tsunomon.
"Yeah you are," Matt said impressed, catching the in training. The Knightmon army vanished in a flash of light, as Crusadermon floated before the humans.
"Thank you for helping us," Kari said sincerely.
Crusadermon was silent before finally admitting. "It looks like Leopardmon was wrong," She then took to the skies, vanishing into the distance.
"What the hell did we miss?" Davis asked confused as he and the others arrived the partnered Digimon had assumed champion forms.
"When did you guys get here?" Matt asked confused.
"Right about when the Omnimon light show did," Yolie explained.
WarGreymon's claws then lit up white with heat. "SOLARIS STRAIGHT!" With one boosted slash, Boltboutamon lost his left leg and arm in the same attack.
"Goodbye for good you two," WarGreymon declared as his wings collected energy. "GAIA INFERNO!" The panels on his wings released a massive discharge of heat infused energy, destroying the hybrid Digimon. As Boltboutamon was destroyed, so too was Kibaou's digivice.
"No, no NO!" Kibaou bellowed infuriated. He threw down the Raijin Spear and Kazemaru Shield, pulled out a teleportation crystal and vanished.
"My gear's back, awesome!" Taiki declared, taking them back.
"That felt awesome," WarGreymon said with a smirk, before reverting back to Koromon. "But call it a hunch, I can't go WarGreymon again for a while,"
"Yeah you were," Taiki said with a smile. Just then the whole temple shook violently. Pieces of the ceiling then began to collapse, indicating it was time to go.
"Kudamon!" Argo called out, grabbing the ferret like Digimon. Everyone quickly exited as the Spiral Mountain Dungeon fell apart at the coding. Asuna pulled out a corridor crystal, causing everyone to escape in time.
When the light died down Taiki was shocked to see everyone was in the KoB headquarters, and even more so, the place had been decorated for a party.
"Yeah, sorry this was a last minute thing," Asuna said sheepishly. "I noticed how down in the dumps you were during the who debacle with the Mamemon brothers, and how it was the anniversary of when you first went to the Digital World, so I figured?" She shrugged nervously.
"I think," Taiki said with a growing grin. "That we better get started, all of us,"
"HERE HERE!" Everyone in the room bellowed in unison, Digimon, Defender, KoB, and player alike. Kudamon had woken up, and was looking a bit reluctant, knowing this wasn't going to end well.
The party raged on for hours, with no signs of dying down. Libeth, as Asuna noticed, was getting a bit closer to Taiki than usual. Koromon had returned to
"Since when did Taiki and Libeth become a thing?" Kirito asked as he walked onto the balcony with Asuna nearby.
"Since about a week ago, apparently they decided to keep things a secret," Asuna admitted with a light chuckle.
"So, seeing that, got me thinking, about us," Kirito began nervously. "Do you, maybe, want to get married?"
"Sure, why not," Asuna said with a smile. The two kissed passionately.
Meanwhile on floor 22, a bright burst of light infused coding engulfed the dark forest, and out came a small girl with long black hair, wearing only a long white dress.
And here's the long overdue eighteenth chapter, wow I am so sorry. Yes I am also aware of the new Digimon Reboot, but with me and reboots it's a maybe. And yes, I am aware SkullSatanmon and Mephistomon together don't make Boltboutamon. To those of you unaware, he's the DNA digivolved form of Myotismon and Piedmon. Considering we've seen weirder digivolutions over the years, I figured this would work too. My logic was that SkullSatanmon can digivolve into Piedmon, and how Mephistomon is reformed from Apocalymon, this configuration would work too.
And yes, I am fully aware of the Digimon Adventure Reboot and how Last Evolution played out, quite frankly, I'm disappointed in both. Adventure 2020 rushed through things too quickly for my taste, as during episode two, Agumon and Gabumon became Omnimon, before any of the other partner Digimon made their appearance. Although I am grateful they expanded on the Argomon line, giving him Intraining through Champion forms.
Last Evolution is disappointing because of how they set up the ending of Tri. We have no knowledge of the origin of Dark Gennai, and he was going to call in both Armageddomon and Daemon for help. The whole ending the partnerships thing really contradicts what we saw in 02's epilogue and how many adult partners we saw in Data Squad. Although I do appreciate they had the decency to include Davis and the gang since they were absent in Tri. I don't mind Agumon Bond of Courage and Gabumon Bond of Friendship, but I do think they could have done better.
Also, the amplified modes aren't completely fan made forms. Over the course of the last year, Bandai released four Amplified Variants of Digimon, Omnimon, WarGreymon, BlackWarGreymon, and MetalGarurumon. The forms used by WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon are based off these toys, I just thought it would be something different. Hey, ever since the beginning, there have been a lot of Digimon that are just repaints or retools of preexisting Digimon, so why not?
Next time out, it's the Girl of the Morning Dew.
