Chapter 26

Digiworld:

Tai was just starting to doze off when his senses well-honed from years of Digital World time during his first tour of duty snaps alert, looking at the sleeping pair. Agumon also comes alert and when his partner starts swearing softly he looks around to see the reason why. Agumon blanches when he spies Machinedramon, " Great, him again. "

Tai shakes Davis awake and the reincarnated true ruler of the Earth flips to his feet with Serena cradled in his arms. He follows Tai's gaze and curses softly before kicking Veemon awake. Veemon blinks his red eyes before seeing Machinedramon, then he rubs them and blinks again before whimpering, " Tai, you and Agumon get him the hell out of this sector, I'll get the others capable of mega in to help you. "

Agumon immediately warp digivolves and plows into Machinedramon, driving him away from Davis and Serena. Renamon wakes up at this and her reaction is the same as the goggle heads, cursing. Neither digimon was capable of digivolving at the moment but they could protect their partners, somewhat. Davis sends the message and gets ready to use Miracles to defend them if necessary.

Campgrounds:

Izzy starts swearing immediately when he reads the message that had woken him up before kicking Matt and Joe awake, " Machinedramon showed up in Digiworld, Tai needs help. I'll go wake Mimi and Kari. "

Izzy leaves his laptop behind with the coordinates locked on to Tai's digivice. Joe opens the Digiport then the children of Friendship and Reliability enter the Digital World. Izzy scrambles over to the girls' tent before spying Gatomon, " Gatomon, wake up Kari, Mimi, and Palmon. Machinedramon. "

Gatomon curses and ducks in the tent to wake her partner along with the others up. Izzy races back to grab his laptop with the girls meeting him halfway. TK and Ken are awakened from the ruckus, " TK, I'm sending you to Davis and Serena, neither one of their digimon are capable of digivolving at the moment. "

TK nods and Izzy sets the coordinates for him before he tunes in to the others to keep track of what was happening with them.

Digiworld:

WarGreymon curses as he slams into the ground before MetalGarurumon leaps over him, shielding him while Plesiomon slams into Machinedramon. " Thanks. "

" No problem, now let's deal with this idiot once and for all. " MetalGarurumon says.

" Terra Force! "

" Gale Cross Freezer! "

" Forbidden Temptation! "

" Sefirot Crystals! "

Ophanimon stops by WarGreymon and takes the time to heal him before taking the fight to Machinedramon, " Ooh, why is he back anyhow? " Mimi asks.

" Don't know, don't care right now. Let's just take him down. " Tai snaps, in full on leader mode.

" Sorrow Blue! "

" Metal Wolf Claw! "

" Eden's Javelin! "

WarGreymon blitzes in front of Rosemon, his shield already piece together, " Brave Shield! "

The shield barely holds against Machinedramon's Dragon Fire attack, " Thorn Whipping! "

MetalGarurumon slams into the digital menace, knocking him away from WarGreymon and Rosemon. Tai starts cursing vehemently, " Fuck, he's stronger than before. "

" No kidding. What the hell do we do? " Matt says, all of them were glowing in their crests colors vibrantly.

" River of Power! "

" Blaze Buster! "

" Michael, Sam, how did you two get here? "

" Izzy sent Ken to get us and a few others. "

" Sub Zero Ice Punch! "

" Solar Ray! "

When a Centaurumon and Frigimon join the fight Tai looks over to see a young girl with light brown skin, brown eyes, and shoulder length brown hair wearing a red turtle necked shirt, green skirt, red stockings, and pink shoes with white soles, " Hi there, I'm Maria. Centaurumon is my partner. "

A blonde haired kid wearing round wire frame glasses with green eyes introduces himself as Steve, partner of Frigimon. He's wearing a green t-shirt and blue jeans along with black sneakers, " We'd heard from Mimi you Japanese Digidestined get the pain in the ass things to deal with but, shit. "

Tai snorts, " Tell me about it. "

When an attack heads for Michael Seadramon roars his rage before digivolving to MegaSeadramon, interposing himself between his partner and the danger, " Thunder Javelin! "

Machinedramon fires off his Giga Cannon only to have Ophanimon intercept it with her Sefirot Crystals, creating a gigantic smokescreen that MegaSeadramon takes advantage of using his Shimetsukeru attack on Machinedramon, wrapping his long body around the Mega Level, " WarGreymon, now! "

" Great Tornado! "

MegaSeadramon moves at the very last moment as WarGreymon drills his way through Machinedramon's body, deleting the pain in the ass. Elsewhere Davis has a golden barrier erected even as TK and MagnaAngemon deal with Puppetmon, " What the hell is it with the Dark Masters becoming a pain in the ass again? " TK demands as MagnaAngemon uses his sword against Puppetmon.

" Bullet Hammer! "

Davis grimaces as he struggles to hold the barrier even as Serena wakes up and starts cursing like a working girl stiffed out of her pay, " Why the hell did you let me sleep anyhow? "

" You needed it, Serenity-hime. " Davis replies.

Serena immediately twines her power in with Davis', giving the barrier a silver sheen, " Otouto, now would be a really good time to bust out mega! "

TK stands his ground, delving deeper into his crest's power than ever before, the yellow glow around him intensifying immensely, a beam of rainbow colored lights descending from the sky as his D3 starts to shake and whine faster, " MagnaAngemon digivolve to…Seraphimon! Strike of the Seven Stars! "

TK's crest even reinforces Davis and Serena's barrier while replenishing his older sister's reserves along with Veemon and Renamon's as well. " Hell yeah, this is what Hope can really do. " Serena calls out.

Puppetmon dodges Seraphimon's first attack, " Hallowed Knuckle! "

" Flying Cross Cutter! "

The backlash of those two attacks colliding can be felt where Tai and the others are. Tai looks back to where he left his reincarnated baby half-sister and the boy he viewed as a little brother, " Son of a bitch, I swear those two get into more trouble than Lina Inverse ever did. "

" Fuck, he's more powerful. " TK mutters, drawing upon more power from his crest, Hope Sprang Eternal, so he was really hoping to hell that he didn't overreach himself in this battle. " Seraphimon, we need to end this! "

" Hallowed Ascension! " A bolt of divine lightning drops down faster than Puppetmon can move, engulfing the Dark Master immediately instantly deleting him.

TK drops to his knees even as his partner reverts back to Poyomon. Tai catches Poyomon in midair since they had all started running for their other three members while Matt goes to his brother, he knew Serena was safe enough with Davis. The pair drop their barrier even as Tai gives them both a once over, " Who? "

" Puppetmon, Tai. Gained mega though. " TK says.

" That's all we need, that damn clown making a comeback! " Tai mutters before they all head their separate ways though Davis, TK, and Serena are introduced to Steve and Maria.

Davis finds a new sector to sleep in, mostly so he and Serena could have the night to themselves. Tai stays with them though he does go hunting for food while the other Japanese Destineds head for the Campgrounds.

Toshima:

Marcus sighs, unable to shake the feeling that his cousin was in huge trouble. Usagi had never wanted to fight, never wanted to be Sailor Moon either. He'd been one of the few people she'd confided in, though she had been the first to deck Thomas for his pompous attitude. He still laughed when he remembered the looks on Thomas' and Yoshino's faces when sweet little Usagi did that. He had helped to hone her self-defense capabilities after all. The way Thomas had treated him hadn't set right with her so she'd done something about it, reading the blonde the riot act while having him in an ear lock after decking him.

" Honey, what are you thinking about anyhow? " Sara Damon asks her son.

" Usagi-itoko, we know she's still alive. I also get the feeling that there is a typhoon of trouble heading her way. Well, that and how she took Thomas to task. "

Thomas Nordstein happened to be over at the Damon home and hears this. The male blonde blushes at the mere reminder of how Tsukino Usagi had taken him to task so easily. Though at least she did the same to Commander Sampson and Kurata. Oh, watching her tear into Kurata had been a treat, " What about how she dealt with Kurata and his stupidity. "

Marcus laughs out right at this, " I don't know what surprised him more, Usa having not been mind wiped, restoring mine immediately, or her bitch slapping him. "

Thomas snorts, " I still can't believe she made off with your Data Link, hers, and your partners without anyone noticing the fact that she had vanished. "

" Usa's a prankster so stealth is something she's damn good at. " Marcus admits.

Spencer rolls his eyes, " I blame Umika for that. She did train Usagi as a demon huntress after all. "

Juuban:

Mizuno Ami stares at the red head that has her backed into a corner, flustered, as said red head was near body to body with her, looking at her like Haruka looks at Michiru. The sexually repressed bluenette can feel herself responding to the red head's words and presence, " Why do you hide yourself so, I'm willing to bet you have a killer body under these bulky clothes. "

Ami is too flustered to push the other girl away when she cups her breasts, pushing in closer against her, " Definitely nothing to be ashamed of with these. "

Seiya is laughing his/her ass off internally. She hadn't thought it would be this easy to fluster the Mercurian senshi. Odango had been right when she said the girl suppressed her entire limbic system. Oh, he/she was going to have a lot of fun seducing the bluenette in public places while preparing her for a career as a porn star.

Lan, Chaud, and their partners have just arrived in the dimension along with a certain blonde. When Stratus had mentioned the job Selena had leapt at the opportunity to cause untold mayhem for a different dimension. Plus, Hub could actually stay out all the time and they might actually be able to get a few dates in. Hub immediately claims his human form before pulling Selena to him, kissing her almost desperately. Lan rolls his eyes at this, " Bro, you can make out with her later. "

Hub groans, " Lan, come on, I hardly ever get any real world time with her that doesn't have me crossfused with you. "

Lan winces at this, " All right, I will grant you that, bro. "

" I'm going to get set up to ruin the bitches financially, you three meet up with Osaka-san and decide how to raise hell from there. "

Lan smirks the kind of smirk that has the Sol Senshi shivering in apprehension, that shiver increases when Selena starts cackling, " I am so going to enjoy this. I can unleash so much mayhem since our dimension is more technologically advanced. "

Lan recognizes that cackle and Hub smirks, Chaud was quick to pull out his camera for this and Selena does the same, " Lan, allow me to re-introduce my girlfriend, Tsukino Selena, Kitsune. "

Chaud and Selena snap the pictures immediately of the stupefied look upon his face upon learning that his twin's girlfriend and the queen of the pranking community are the same. Lan tackles his twin and proceeds in trying to strangle him Hub laughing all the while, " The look on his face was so worth not saying anything. " Chaud admits.

Selena snickers, " Lan, you can kill my boyfriend later, preferably after we're married and he's killed Cape Boy. "

Lan groans but lets him up. Hub snickers, " Sorry bro, I just couldn't resist. "

Lan starts cackling, " Am I allowed to prank him without fear of you retaliating, Kitsune-dono? "

" Yep. " Selena replies.

Hub looks at his girlfriend, horrified, " Lena, why? "

" Simple, Lan won't do anything too horrible to you. Now, Lan, we have mayhem to spread. " Selena says.

The cackles the pair of them let off send a feeling of IMMINENT DOOM down the spines of the Sol Senshi that betrayed their hime.

Digiworld:

Serena sits upright as she can feel IMMINENT DOOM heading for her senshi only it wasn't coming from her. That was when Stratus shows herself and explains what she and Sailor Destiny had set into motion. Serena starts cackling when she takes it all in along with Davis. Tai shudders, unlike Davis and Serena he did not worship chaos, at all. Still, he could enjoy the show since the bitches deserved whatever Serena's counterpart and her pranking cohort could come up with.
