Neo Digimon:
Digital War
Episode 17 - Beginnings and Endings.
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."

"The war against Devimon is raging," Sora stated. "Our digimon forces
briefly numbered over three dozen, but our last battle ended with eight
fatalities on our side, Meramon and seven Numemon. The idea of the battle
was to sneak attack the Bakemon to reduce our casualties. Obviously, that
wasn't the case."
"Now we must recover and heal from the injuries suffered in battle against
Panjamon before we can take on his master. But if we were almost defeated
by Panjamon, how can we hope to defeat Devimon?"
_________________
"What's our status?" Unimon asked, glancing over the various digimon and
humans in a barren field that was once home to many Bakemon.
"Meramon has been deleted, while Andromon, Monzaemon, Agumon, Wormmon and
one of the Drimogemon were injured by Panjamon's attacks. Fortunately none
of the Chosen were hit," Kuro answered.
Unimon sighed. "This isn't good."
"You're telling me?" Daisuke commented. "V-mon and Gabumon still aren't all
that great from their previous injuries. I don't like this, but we're going
to have to lay low for a while to heal."
"Where do you suggest we do that?" Unimon questioned. "We have no base and
Devimon has near complete control of this island."
"You tell me. You know this island better than I do. There has to be
someplace we can hide for at least a few days," Daisuke retorted.
"We've used them up already. Devimon would be sure to know if we returned
to a previous base," Unimon replied.
"I know of a place," Andromon stated as he hobbled over.
"Hey, right! Factorial Fortress would be defensible enough," Daisuke said
happily.
Andromon shook his head. "No. Somewhere safer. A place Devimon might not
know even exists on File Island."
Unimon raised an eyebrow at that comment. "What place is that?"
"Primary Village," Andromon replied simply.
Unimon's and Kuro's mouth dropped. "Primary Village?!"
Daisuke scratched his head. "What's Primary Village?"
"The place we were all born," Andromon replied simply.
"If you were all born there, how would Devimon not know it exists?" Daisuke
questioned.
"Primary Village is where ALL digimon are born. It's not even technically
on this plane of existence," Unimon explain. He then turned to Andromon and
asked, "Are you sure there is a portal to Primary Village on File Island?"
"Positive." Andromon nodded. "We should be able to reach there by dawn in
our current condition."
Daisuke nodded. "Good. Then that's what we'll do." He hopped on top of a
rock and called out, "Everyone, get ready to move out! We're going
someplace where we can heal our wounds!"
Taichi, without his shirt, smiled hearing that. "We'll be able to help you
soon."
Agumon shivered while wearing Taichi's shirt. "I hope so."
"Maybe we can get those cuts on your hands looked at too, Hikari," Taichi
added.
Hikari nervously tugged at the bandages around her hand. She still had no
idea where she got them a few nights ago. She could only guess that she had
accidentally cut them on a rock during one of her nightmares.
_________________
Dawn's early light broke over the horizon as the beleaguered came upon a
clearing in the forest. In the center of the grassy field before them were
a pair of railroad crossing signs, but no train tracks nor paved road was
visible.
"That is it," Andromon stated flatly.
"That's the portal to this Primary Village place?" Daisuke questioned.
"Are you sure this is safe?" Sora asked looking at the sky, afraid of what
might be looking down at them.
Daisuke shrugged. "Well, we came this far. Might as well try it."
With that, the entire group marched into the clearing, some ready for an
attack as this area looked good for an ambush.
"So we just walk through between the railroad signs?" Daisuke asked.
Andromon raised his arm to block Daisuke.
"What?" Daisuke asked and then heard an odd sound, that of a train coming.
The crossing guards lowered and the mighty sounds of a train rushing by
could be heard. The wind from a large fast moving object could be felt.
However, none of them saw a train.
"Just when you though you've seen everything," Koushiro commented.
"You actually saw something?" Yamato questioned.
The crossing guards raised into the air.
"Now we can enter," Andromon stated before stepping forward and
disappearing.
Daisuke shrugged and followed in after him.
Everyone else just stared.
Daisuke's head reappeared and seemed to be floating in the air. "Are you
waiting for an engraved invitation?"
The entire group entered through the portal, with Kuro trailing behind. He
paused just before entering certain he had just heard something laugh
evilly. He looked around and saw nothing.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Elecmon cried out seeing the large number
of digimon in his village. "What are you doing here?!"
"We seek aid and shelter from Devimon," Andromon said, bowing slightly.
"Like I care what Devimon has been doing. At least he hasn't been killing
digimon wholesale!" Elecmon shot back. "You can't stay here!"
"But we need someplace to stay to heal our injured," Hikari replied.
"I can't look after you and all the babies," Elecmon retorted.
"Perhaps we can offer our help in exchange of letting us stay here. We will
help you care for the babies while our injured tend to their wounds,"
Unimon offered.
"I don't know. How can I trust you?" Elecmon questioned skeptically.
"Aren't these just the cutest little things?" Mimi cooed tending to one
baby.
"They certainly are," Miyako replied, caring for another.
Elecmon looked like he was about to have a heart attack. "WHAT ARE YOU
DOING?!"
Mimi pouted. "The baby was crying, and I had to see if I could help. Poor
little thing soiled his crib." She edged away from the crib while gently
holding a red baby. "Why don't they wear diapers?"
Miyako looked at the furry baby in her hands. "And just how would you put a
diaper on them?" She giggled as the baby began to suck on her finger. "This
little guy is hungry. Do you have any food?"
"Of course the girls would go gaga over the babies." Yamato shook his head.
"Hey, Patamon, remember what your baby form looked like?" Takeru asked as
he played with a black furred Botamon.
"How would I? I was a baby!" Patamon returned.
Takeru shrugged and scratched what would be the baby's chin. "Bet you grow
up big and strong, yes I do!"
"Is there something about your brother that I should know about?" Taichi
asked jokingly.
Yamato sweat-dropped.
Piyomon grabbed Sora's hand and said, "Come on, let's help them."
Sora seemed reluctant, but let herself get dragged off.
Elecmon whimpered seeing his babies being cared for by strangers.
"Please trust us. We wouldn't want to hurt any of those babies," Hikari
tried to assure the nervous digimon. "Um, do you have any medical supplies
we can use?"
Elecmon nodded slowly. "Yeah. I always have some prepared for the babies in
case something were to happen."
_________________
"Why did you have me retreat?" Panjamon howled as he stood in Devimon's
vast throne room, with a Bakemon cowering behind him.
An evil laughter filled the air. "You would have died had you stayed. True,
you might have been able to kill a few of them in the process. However, I
doubt the Chosen or their digimon would've been in your list of kills.
However, Panjamon, I thought I'd introduce you to two new digimon for you
to lead."
"Bah!" Panjamon swiped the air with his massive hand. "I have no use for
any digimon controlled by a black gear. One hit and they become my enemy."
"True. Quite true, but these digimon aren't controlled by a single black
gear." A large skeletal red hand appeared from the darkness. "But first I
suppose I should make that Bakemon suitable for your new troops first."
The Bakemon backed away in fear. "No! Lord Devimon, please no! I've always
been a loyal servant!"
"Now you'll be a better one."
Ten black gears came at the Bakemon from all directions. The ghost digimon
screamed in pain as he grew a little larger, his body turned gray with a
red hood cover what would be his head, and a giant sickle appeared in his
right hand.
"Interesting. Now what do I have here?"
"I, Phantomon, will serve you well, my lord," the giant gray ghost digimon
bowed.
Panjamon nodded his approval. "I assume the other two are like him?"
The laughter echoed again. "Actually, I suspect this one is the weakest of
the three." A large snapping sound came from the shadows and two figures
step forward. "Meet your other digimon."
The gigantic beaten looking gray teddy-bear brandished metal claws. "The
Chosen shall meet an untimely end."
A human looking figure smiled with a devilish toothy grin, showing his
fangs. "I have a score to settle, as well."
"Good," Panjamon said simply. "Now where are the Chosen so I can finish
them off once and for all?!"
"Primary Village."
"What?!" Panjamon cried out.
"You heard me. Apparently Andromon knew how to get there all along.... If
only I had ordered him to tell me." A sharp laugh filled the air. "No
matter. I know where it is now. Go to Railroad Field, stand before the
railroad signs, but not between them, and wait for the sound of something
large to pass. Then go between the signs and you shall be in the Village of
Beginnings!"
Panjamon grinned. "I shall go there immediately, my lord. The Chosen shall
not live to see the sun set."
"Excuse me, Panjamon." The human looking digimon bowed just enough to be
polite, but no more. "Might I suggest we wait until nightfall? At that
time, Phantomon and I will be at our strongest, and them at their weakest.
It would not do us good to give them any advantage."
Panjamon paused and then nodded. "Perhaps we should wait. Phantomon,
practice your new skills. We attack at midnight."
Evil laughter once again filled the air from the dark lord on the throne.

Elecmon sighed as he looked over his babies. All of them were enraptured
with a whimsical story that Mimi was telling them. Though Elecmon had a
hard time trying to follow it.
Night had fallen on the village and most of the Chosen and digimon had gone
to sleep. However, they were taking turns not only to act as a night watch
for Devimon's troops, but to also have someone watch the babies.
Elecmon couldn't remember the last time he had a moment of peace to
himself. He was always busy taking care of the babies. That was his job and
he never wavered from it, no matter how grueling the task was.
Elecmon's ears perked up as he heard something odd. He looked around for
the source of it and happened upon Hikari in one of the houses. She was
laying on the floor half-naked rolling about as if someone was whipping
her. His eyes widen as her arms moved to cover her face and the bandages
cover her hands exploded. Blood splattered against the wall as new wounds
opened.
"What's going on...?" Elecmon breathed.
"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!" Yamato yelled from where he had stood watch.
"WHAT?!" Elecmon rushed out of the building.
Hikari's eyes opened as tears spilled out. She wobbled as she stood up. She
noticed the condition of her bandages and her hands. She quickly pulled off
the ruined pieces of cloth and then got dressed. She frowned noticing the
blood on her school uniform, but knew it wouldn't matter. It would wash
off.
Hikari steadied herself before rushing out to join the others but stopped
cold as a figure loomed before her.
"My, my.... What do I have here?" questioned the floating digimon.
"V-Vamdemon...." Hikari breathed.
"How would you...." Vamdemon paused and then smiled. He floated down to her
and caressed her cheek. "Oh, it's YOU."
Hikari pissed her panties.

"Oh, great. Not this ugly ghost again." Yamato stood behind Garurumon,
waiting for help to arrive.
The gray ghost glared. "That's Phantomon to you. Soul Chopper!" He slashed
with his sickle causing a black energy to streak from it.
Yamato and Garurumon dodged as the energy tore up the ground.
"We need help," Garurumon commented.
"You got it!" Taichi called out.
"Mega Flame!" Greymon shot out a large fireball.
"Meteor Wing!" Birdramon showered the area in fire.
"Fox Fire!" Garurumon added his flame attack into the mix.
Phantomon twirled his sickle and blocked the attacks. "You'll have to do
better than that."
_________________
"So many happy little digimon.... Makes me want to throw up. Heart Break
Attack!" From the large battered gray teddy-bear standing on a nearby
building came several blackened heart-shaped bubbles sent directly at Mimi
and the baby digimon.
Mimi shrieked as she proceeded to cover several of the babies with her own
body.
"Palmon evolve!" A pillar of light formed briefly, and when it finished a
two story cactus with boxing gloves stood there. "Togemon!" She spread her
arms to protect everyone.
"Hearts Attack!" Monzaemon countered with his own pink heart bubble attack.
He smiled seeing his attack effectively canceling out the dark hearts. "I
know what you are. You're Waru Monzaemon."
Light gleamed off Waru Monzaemon's metal claws. "And I know what you truly
are as well. Let's fight to see who is truly the better Monzaemon!"
Monzaemon seemed to make a fist. "You're on."
_________________
"Hello, old friend."
Unimon glared at the giant humanoid lion digimon with a psychotic grin on
his face. The unicorn digimon replied harshly, "You are not my old friend.
Leomon would never do what you have done."
Panjamon smirked. "You're absolutely right. Shall we fight, then?" He drew
out his sword which gleamed evilly from the light coming from the village.
Unimon nodded. "We shall. Holy Shot!" He shot forth a ball of holy energy
at Panjamon.
The giant humanoid lion dodged the attack as he charged past Unimon. The
flying unicorn was perfectly still as Panjamon stood straight up and
sheathed his sword. "I thought you would be more of a challenge," the lion
commented.
Unimon's head fell away from his body before deleting.
Panjamon grinned. "Who's next?"

Author's Notes:
Welcome to cliff hanger time. Until the end of this story arc, all chapters
will end up being cliff hangers.
Coming Soon:
Chapter 18 - Verses the Dark Lieutenant, Panjamon
Can the Chosen possibly hope to defeat Panjamon and his three Perfection
level digimon?
"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 in. 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 a broken heart on her white panties.
"Now for a little extra," chibi-Hikari moans.
------------------
"Welcome back to 'Whose Line is it Anyway' - Digimon style," Referee
announced. "To recap our guests, we have Bobby from Lord Archive's Diaries
series."
"CoughShamelessplugCough," faked Bobby, a blond America boy of fourteen who
was dressed in torn jeans and a new plain blue T-shirt.
"Hirokazu, or 'Kazu' to you North American viewer, to represent the Digimon
Tamers," Referee continued. "Also we have Armadimon for Adventures
Zero-Two, and Tentomon for Adventures Zero-One."
"Do I look like Tentomon to you?" Gomamon asked from the contestant chair
Tentomon was supposed to be in.
"Gomamon?" Referee questioned. "What happened to Tentomon?"
Gomamon shrugged. "He got tied up with something."
------------------
Tentomon shook as he tried to free himself from the ropes tied around him,
while hanging from the ceiling of a supply closest. Yelling wouldn't help
since he had been gagged as well.
------------------
"I see. I guess you will have to take his place," Referee stated. "Now for
this round's game, party host. I guess Gomamon will have to be the host of
the party as the others come in acting in accordance to a card they have
been given. I will ring a bell for when they are to enter and buzz when
Gomamon guesses correctly. The round shall begin... NOW!"
Gomamon hopped forward and seemed to going over something. "Hmmm... chips,
dips, and punch. Wait, need something more." He made the motion of getting
a bottle and pouring it. "Spiked punch is so much better for a party." He
grinned.
Ding-Dong
"Wonder who that could be?" Gomamon went over to the 'door' and acted as if
he let Armadimon in. "Hiya. How's things been?"
Armadimon just snubbed him as he walked pass.
"Something I can get you?" Gomamon questioned.
"There's nothing I'd want from a worm like you," Armadimon hissed.
"Whoa, no need to go 'Digimon Kaiser' on me," Gomamon commented. He then
looked surprised at Referee when he didn't here the buzzer go off.
Ding-Dong
Gomamon shook his head. "This one has to be a happier camper."
"Just what are you doing here?" Hirokazu asked harshly.
"Having a party, what else?" Gomamon returned.
"A party?!" Hirokazu sounded horrified. "How can you have a party?!"
"Best thing he's done since I met the creep," Armadimon commented.
"And who are you?" Hirokazu asked with a superior tone.
Armadimon sniffed. "I can tell you what I'm not."
"Ugh. I don't need an ex-lover here," Gomamon moaned.
BUZZ
Armadimon waved daintily before leaving the stage.
"Lover?! Why that's so wrong!" Hirokazu cried out.
Ding-Dong
Gomamon prayed this one was better. "Hello?"
"Good evening." Bobby clasped his hands together and walked forward.
"At least he isn't pissed off," Gomamon commented.
"Such language," both Hirokazu and Bobby replied with mutual horrified
looks.
"Is there anything I can do to please you, or is everything I going to do
upset you?" Gomamon asked.
BUZZ
"Huh?" Gomamon questioned.
"You're right about the second part," Hirokazu huffed and stomped off the
staged.
"Now what's with you?" Gomamon asked.
"Oh, I feel it is not my problems that needs to be address, but yours. What
seems to be troubling you? Perhaps I can help guide you," Bobby said
serenely.
"I don't need a quack psychologist," Gomamon retorted.
"Of course you don't. You just need to understand what is the right path.
Perhaps we should pray on this." Bobby bowed his head.
"Or a priest for that matter," Gomamon returned.
BUZZ
"Well, that ends this round. Does it matter who the winner is?" Referee
asked. "I don't think so. Stay tuned for the next round after the next part
of War Diaries."
