Neo Digimon: 
				Digital War

			 Episode 14 - Battle Plans.

Chibi-Koushiro walks up. "Hi," he waves. "This series is NOT FOR KIDS. It is 
rated R for a reason. It was not arbitrarily assigned. If you are under 18 years 
old, and your parents won't let you see a rated R movie-- then you should NOT be 
reading this either."

Chibi-Koushiro coughed. "Anyway. The characters are properties of Toei Animation 
Inc., Saban Entertainment and others. They are used without consent. Archive is 
only borrowing them for an indefinite amount of time.

"Strict Japanese spelling for all names when possible. If an English name for a 
digimon or his attack is used and you know what the name is supposed to be in 
Japanese-- please tell Archive so it can be corrected."

"After having our base overrun by Panjamon's forces, we were force to fight our 
way through the base in order to regroup with Unimon and his troops," Koushiro 
explained. "Daisuke somehow got his plan to work and we acquire three Drimogemon 
to our ranks in the process."

"Though the battle wasn't easy," Koushiro sounded uneasy. "I came close to be a 
head shorter twice during the battle and I'm the first of the Chosen to 
personally kill a digimon, and not be responsible through the actions of their 
digimon partner. I dropped a controlled digimon into a portal knowing that in 
all probability that I had sent him to his death. But it was either that or let 
him kill me. I prefer to live and will do all I can to make sure I come out of 
this in one piece."

In a large cave that literally had not been there yesterday sat those that would 
resist against Devimon and all his enslaved army.

"Why can't we just go after Devimon and take him out?" Daisuke questioned.

"Devimon's citadel is not the only concentration of his army, but it is the 
center most one," Unimon replied. "To attack the citadel now, we'd have to fight 
not just the digimon there, but the ones from Toy Town and Overdell as well. In 
addition, there is still a question of what Andromon guards at Factorial 
Fortress. No matter how far we've gotten before, Andromon was never pulled from 
guarding the item despite his power."

"So to best defeat Devimon, we must first take out his reinforcements," Taichi 
surmised. "However, won't Devimon send reinforcements to Factorial Fortress if 
we attack it."

Unimon paused. "We're not sure. We've only attacked the place once and met 
overwhelming defeat just trying to get past the outer defenses."

"So we can assume Devimon will at least send Monzaemon and the Numemon from Toy 
Town if we invade Factorial Fortress first since they are located closely 
together," Meramon concluded.

"A quick strike wouldn't give them time to send those reinforcements," Daisuke 
said firmly. "If we rush Devimon and kill him, then the rest of the digimon will 
be freed, right?"

"We don't know if killing Devimon would free anyone from the Black Gears, but we 
do know that in order to fight Devimon we have to get through numerous digimon 
that'll slow us down too much and give the reinforcements time to gather and 
attack," Unimon stated.

"Coward." Daisuke huffed.

"Well, if his death would free the digimon, coming out to fight us would weaken 
his ability to win," Yamato pointed out.

"It should also be pointed out that when Devimon did act, he demonstrated power 
that rivaled Andromon and Monzaemon. He may just be an adult, but he's a lot 
more powerful than any of us," 'Kuro' added. "We may need the items from 
Factorial Fortress to defeat him."

"So the first place we should hit to weaken Devimon is Toy Town, right?" Sora 
asked. "Then they won't be able to reinforce either Factorial Fortress or the 
citadel."

"But then Devimon would know we'd plan to strike Factorial Fortress next and set 
up a trap for us there. We'd probably have to fight Panjamon as well," Piyomon 
concluded.

"Then lets go after Factorial Fortress first," Daisuke suggested. "Sure it might 
be reinforced by Numemon and Monzaemon, but would they have much of an advantage 
trying to help a fortress?"

"They'd use the sewers to get in," a Drimogemon said.

"Sewer?" Daisuke chirped. "You mean there's a way to sneak in?"

"Actually I expect a fair number of Numemon are in the sewer as guards, so we 
can't sneak in there," Gomamon replied.

"We just don't use the sewer. We can make our own entrance," another Drimogemon 
added.

Daisuke grinned. "That's right. With you three Drimogemon we can send a group 
inside the base defeat Andromon and get the item."

"But we'll still need to deal with defenses, particularly the air ones so you 
guys can escape that way if need be," Piyomon explained.

"Not to mention deal with the reinforcements that come above ground," Kuro 
added.

"Good idea." Daisuke nodded. "The other team would also act as a decoy to split 
Andromon's attention. Who should be the decoys?"

"Those of us that aren't capable of stealth," Taichi replied. "Agumon is a good 
fighter as Greymon, but that's all he's really good at. He's not fast nor 
capable of flying. He'd work better to take out the fortress's defenses."

"All of our adult forms are like that," Tentomon returned. "There isn't much we 
can do to hide ourselves."

"You still have speed and flight as an adult, which will be assets in the 
battle," Taichi stated.

Koushiro glared. "True, but with my leg, I can hardly sneak around anywhere."

Daisuke tapped his chin. "Okay, we need stealth, but also a lot of firepower 
with minimal numbers. Takeru, Miyako, and myself will make up the infiltration 
team. We each have speed, ease of evolution, and flyers."

"Do you think only four armors will be enough to deal with a Perfection level 
digimon?" Unimon questioned. "His power is the highest on the island save for 
Devimon. It would not be an easy battle."

"What? All we have to do is find the Black Gear and break it. Then we'll have 
Andromon as an ally, right?" Daisuke asked.

"It's easier said than done since the Black Gear on Andromon is not visible," 
Unimon returned.

"We'll also be the back up. With all of us, the defenses should be easily 
handled. We can go it and help deal with Andromon if they failed," Taichi said 
confidently.

"But if they failed, then they would be dead," Unimon noted.

"Don't worry." Daisuke waved his hand as if the brush off the comment. "We'll 
have this taken care of easily." He glanced around the room. "Well, if no one 
has any comments, then let's prepare to take down Factorial Fortress!"

"Who'll lead the other group if you're part of the infiltration team?" Koushiro 
asked.

"Taichi, of course," Daisuke answered.

"Don't I have a say in this?" Taichi questioned.

"I'm not going to follow him," Koushiro stated flatly.

Daisuke sighed. "You want a leader, and he's capable to lead you. Forget your 
past and work together, otherwise someone might get killed."

"If we followed his recklessness, we WILL get killed," Koushiro retorted.

"I accept Taichi as my leader," Hikari called out.

"So do I," Sora added.

"He can do it," Yamato commented.

"Well, I prefer Taichi being leader than Daisuke," Mimi chirped in.

Daisuke smirked. "Looks like you're out voted."

Koushiro growled impotently. "Fine, you can listen to him. Just don't expect me 
to follow his orders if I don't agree with them."

"Whatever." Taichi looked away.

Koushiro shook his head. "There's a couple thing you should know. It is possible 
to use your digivice to evolve other digimon."

"Yeah, though I don't suggest it as it's painful," Gomamon added. "Maybe if you 
hadn't punched me in the back first...."

"I'm not really sure how I got Gomamon to evolve. I needed him to and pressed my 
digivice to him," Koushiro explained.

"So I might be able to evolve digimon before I met up with Tailmon?" Hikari 
asked.

Koushiro nodded. "There's something else. In the temple there's a story written 
detailing the events of the first five. I didn't get to read all of it, however, 
I did find out how they achieved evolution to Perfection level. It's called 
Jogress Evolution and allows two Chosen to merge their digimon together and 
obtain a higher level when their hearts beat as one."

"How does that happen?" Sora asked.

"I think it means that when two of us are so set to a common goal and have 
nearly the same thoughts, then we can merge our digimon," Koushiro theorized.

"What about me?" Daisuke asked. "I've got two digimon, so shouldn't it be easy 
for them to merge?"

Koushiro shrugged. "I don't know if you can do it like that. The first five only 
had one digimon each."

"Well, if I can get them to merge, then this will be even easier!" Daisuke said 
confidently. "Now let's get going. We've got a fortress to take out."

"Isn't this job supposed to be done by volunteers?" Miyako grumbled as she 
pushed some rocks out of the way.

"Since when did any of us volunteer for anything in this war?" Takeru replied.

"Point." Miyako sighed. "But how much longer? Taichi's group should be in 
position to attack soon."

"Not much longer," a Drimogemon answered. "We just got to the metal plated floor 
of the fortress. Now we just have to get through it."

Daisuke's hand twitched in anticipation. He had to remind himself they wanted to 
wait until Taichi's diversion had started so they could sneak in better. It'd be 
so easy to evolve V-mon and Wormmon and blow up the plate, but that would give 
Andromon a clear indication of where they are.

Suddenly an explosion shook the tunnel they were in.

"Sounds like they've begun," Miyako noted.

"All right, hurry and get that plate off, then go and cave in the sewer 
tunnels," Daisuke ordered the three Drimogemon.

"Yes, sir!" the three cried out in unison.

A two meter tall cyborg digimon frowned at his monitors. His outer defenses were 
under attack by a large force. Even with his defenses set on high, it appeared 
only a matter of time for them to breach the wall.

That was not the worse of it. He believed in efficiency, but he could not handle 
this alone. He relayed a message to Toy Town for reinforcements. Hopefully they 
would arrive before the wall collapses.

Andromon turned around to deal with a more pressing matter. "Intruders," he 
growled somewhat emotionlessly.

_________________

Hikari had Gomamon, Ganimon and 'Kuro' around her as she watched the battle 
commence. 

Meramon and Greymon fired volleys of fireballs at the fortress defenses like 
mortars, with flaming destruction arcing down on Andromon's instruments of 
death.

Yamato was holding Gabumon at bay waiting for Greymon to clear out many of 
fortress's canons first before sending his partner in as Garurumon.

Yukiduramon likewise stayed with Yamato and Gabumon as he was mostly ineffective 
at ranged attacks.

It was questionable if Mimi and Palmon would join in the battle.

Unimon, Birdramon and Kabuterimon were doing their best to deal with Andromon's 
anti-air weapons.

Sora chewed on her lower lip as Birdramon kept trying to line up an attack, but 
every time she saw an opening the giant bird digimon would have to dodge.

Hikari gripped her digivice wishing there was some way she could help. She 
looked at the digimon with her. Her head whipped back to the sky as a loud 
shrieked echoed and Sora cried out for her digimon.

"Evolve me!" 'Kuro' yelled at Hikari. "Let me help them."

"I..." Hikari glanced at the black Piyomon then at Sora's Piyomon who crashed 
into the ground.

"They need me," 'Kuro' pleaded.

Hikari nodded with a determined look on her face and held out her digivice, not 
really sure what else to do.

'Kuro' nearly reached out to touch the digivice, but was already feeling power 
surge into him. He cried out, "Piyomon evolve!" There was no pillar of light, 
rather the black Piyomon shimmered in a glowing light and grew to the size of 
Birdramon. However, his feather remained the same jet black color. 
"Sabirdramon!"

With a gust of wind from the giant black birds wings, he took to the air. He 
glared at the defenses lining the inner walls. "Mach Shadow!" he called out 
angrily. Then with a burst of speed that defied logic, the Sabirdramon streaked 
past those defenses, shattering them with a sonic bomb from traveling briefly at 
the speed of sound.

"Ah, Hikari?" Ganimon asked. "Can you evolve me too?"

Hikari leaned against a nearby rock. "I don't think so. It's hard giving 
Sabirdramon my power."

"Then we've got a problem," Gomamon said nervously.

Hikari swallowed seeing numerous green slugs lead by a giant yellow teddy-bear 
approach the fortress. "That'd be Monzaemon with his Numemon, right?"

"Give the girl a prize." Gomamon looked around. "Any ideas what to do."

"Time for a few executions," Ganimon replied. "Those Numemon aren't very tough, 
disgusting-- yes, but easily killed."

"Fox Fire!" Garurumon belched flames at the oncoming attackers, destroying all 
the Numemon it hit. "Oops. Over did it," the giant wolf said sheepishly.

"Possibly too easy." Hikari sighed. "Just try to go for the black gears." She 
then glanced at the fortress. Andromon had not shown himself during all of this. 
That could mean only one thing, the digimon knew about the infiltration group. 
"Please be okay, Daisuke," she prayed.

"This would be easier if we knew where to go," Daisuke commented.

"Well, sorry," Miyako sniped. "We couldn't find a map of this place, so how can 
we possibly know where the item is."

"It'd help if we knew what it was," Takeru added.

"Get down!" V-mon called out and jumped on top of Daisuke. 

A second later everyone else hit the floor as a barrage of laser fire scorched 
the air above them.

"Wormmon, digimental up!" Daisuke called out.

The green worm digimon hopped in front of the group. "Wormmon armor evolve!" A 
blue sphere encased the digimon. It shattered revealing a two meter long 
porcupine like digimon with black armor over his paws and head. He didn't have 
quills but what looked more like crystal shards. "Protector of friendship, 
Togemugomon!"

"Crystal Guard!" The armor digimon curled into a ball and reflected the laser 
blasts back down the hall destroying the all but one of the blasters. He 
unrolled and glared at the remaining weapon. "Hail Gun!" He launched several 
crystal shards, destroying the remaining laser.

"I'd say we're on the right path," Daisuke commented.

V-mon nodded, while trying hard not to massage his shoulder that first Mummymon 
and then Panjamon had hit.

They heard metallic sounding foot steps before them. The light glinted gloomily 
off Andromon silvery plates as he strode forward. "You shall go no farther."

"Damn, this hallway is too small for Pegasmon," Takeru cursed.

"What will we do?" Patamon asked.

"Evolve me and I'll take that tin plated bozo." V-mon punched the air with his 
good arm.

"Not with your wounded shoulder," Daisuke replied. "Togemugomon, take him down!"

"Shurimon will be a great asset now," Hawkmon said.

Miyako nodded. "Digimental up!"

"Hawkmon armor evolve!" A light green sphere encased him, and exploded causing 
no damage to anything. In Hawkmon's place now stood a two meters tall, white 
robed ninja with shurikens for hands and feet. "Bursting with purity, Shurimon!"

"Hail Gun!" Togemugomon fired his crystal shards.
"Kusanagi!" Shurimon added his throwing stars.

Andromon didn't seem phased as the attacks bounced off him. "Waste of energy," 
he analyzed coldly. His chest plate opened and called out, "Gatling Missile."

"Oh, shit." Daisuke paled as the attack streaked straight toward him.

Author's notes:

Finally got back to this series. The next chapter should be out soon. I don't 
like cliff hangers much myself, but this will help ensure that I write the next 
chapter sooner rather than later.

"OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE!" 
shouts the entire chibi-Chosen as they prance around File Island. 

Chibi-Daisuke tries to sneak a skirt peak of what's under chibi-Mimi's school 
dress. A tail whips out from her skirt, wraps around his neck, and draws him. 
Chibi-Mimi makes a strange face and chibi-Daisuke is suddenly thrown out of her 
skirt by the tail. He looks like he had been beaten into a bloody pulp.

The remaining chibi-Chosen continue the mantra until they start climbing up 
Infinity Mountain. Chibi-Hikari falls off and her skirt lifts up showing a 
picture of Guilmon's face on her white panties.

"Now for a little Digimon Tamers extra," chibi-Hikari moans.

Chibi-Koushiro pops up. "More like things you will NOT see in Tamers."

\/\/\/\/\/\/

Ruki sings, "I'm too sexy for my digimon. Too sexy for my digimon. Too sexy for 
my digimon. So sexy it hurts!"

\/\/\/\/\/\/

Lee runs around holding scissors by the handle.

Terriermon folds his arms. "You hold scissors by the blades. You might hurt 
someone if you're not careful. You're so immature."

\/\/\/\/\/\/

Takato with hearts in his eyes. "Ruki-sama!"

Ruki bashes him over the head. "I thought 'chan' was bad."

\/\/\/\/\/\/

Takato with hearts in his eyes. "Juri-sama!"

Juri blinks several time and then runs away in horror.

\/\/\/\/\/\/

Takato with hearts in his eyes. "Lee-sama!"

Lee's face softens. "I didn't know you felt the same way."

Takato blinks several times and runs away.

Lee prances after. "Come back my stud muffin of love."

\/\/\/\/\/\/

Lee looks away shyly. "Ruki... I love you."

Several men in black suits grab Lee and drag him off before Ruki has a chance to 
say anything.

"Hypnos?" Lee asks.

"No. We're from Toei. There will be no romance in Digimon," one of them answers.

"What about Sora and Yamato in Adventures?" Lee questions.

"Did you SEE any of the romance?" the man retorts.

"Well, there was the cookie scene, Yamato saving Sora at the concert, his arm 
around her during the Demon Corps incident, their KIDS," Lee states indignantly.

"That's all your imagination. They were just friends during the series, and 
having kids does not indicate romance for the epilogue," was the flat denial.

Lee blinks repeatedly. "Who're you trying to kid?"

\/\/\/\/\/\/

Takato barges into Ruki's home. "Ruki, you've got to make up with... 
Re...na...mon?!"

"It's just a lovers spat," Ruki states angrily.

"GO AWAY!" Renamon yells.

Takato mechanically shuts the door. "Wow." He then kneels down and peaks through 
an 'accidental' crack in the door. "WOW!"

The door then explodes sending Takato off into the distance.

"Now where were we, Rena-chan?"

"I believe right here, Ruki-chan."

\/\/\/\/\/\/

"What do you mean I have a partner?" Impmon blinks repeatedly.

Bill Gates holds a D-Arc Digivice. "You belong to me. I have a little job for 
you."

Impmon scuffs.

"It'll cause a lot of mischief and make people all over the world upset."

Impmon is now sitting on Bill Gates shoulder. "I'm all ears."

\/\/\/\/\/\/

"I am Duncan McCloud of the clan McCloud." The Scotsman holds out his sword.

Renamon materializes with a strange look on her face. "I'm Renamon."

Duncan blinks repeatedly. "This isn't part of the game?!"

"Oh, but it is a game," Ruki states coldly. "Let mortal combat begin! FIGHT!"

\/\/\/\/\/\/

Chibi-Taichi scratches his head. "You know, some of the readers haven't seen any 
of the Tamers episodes and won't get some of the jokes."

"Oh, be quiet," chibi-Sora replies curtly. "Until next time, be seeing you!"
