Constellion

“Until we can find a way to seal the Tartarus Gate, there is nothing we can do.” Kari said. The Digi-destined had found their Sky Ship at a town near by and is now traveling towards Web-ring City, a recently constructed large human/Digimon settlement. “We need to contact Zeusmon or the West Pantheon for more information. we’ve absolutely no idea how to actually seal those gates!”Sora said “And I want to ask Zeusmon a few question about his brothers...” The Air Ship slowly move towards the horizon. As the sun slowly setting, a beautiful city with lights of all kinds of colors shining like a mythical star.

The Web-ring City was constructed around 2009, when human settlers were starting to converge near major settlements of the Digital World. it’s located on an island in the middle of river Datastream, setting on the edge of two huge water falls. Its populated mostly by business corporation, traveling merchants. Since the price of prosperity is increase of crime rates, mercenary companies and bodyguards-for-hire are also common with in the fancy mask of prosperity. The original settlement, which the city was built on, was trading post built on an ancient settlement ruin of Northern immigrants in West Emporium. Many rune stones and stone ruins are preserved by archeologist studying Digital World’s history.

The Sky ship landed at the local Sky port and the Digi-destined tour around the downtown for the night. “Lets see... five-star luxury hotel or super expensive accommodation? What do you think Matt-dude?” Duke said, holding his Zeusmon credit card aloft “I think we ought to consider this carefully, and do some major shopping at the same time!” Matt answered “Um...is that the right thing to do right now?” Sora asks “My girl friend,” Adela answers her “we digi-destined had saved this world many times, this is but a little thanks from this world” She waved her card. Sora looked to Kari for support, Kari looked at her and shrugged “What can I do?”

The Downtown Web-ring shines a promising light as shops of all kinds open over-night. People and digimon of all sorts walking confidently down the street. Even as the darkness of the night fell upon the city, the artificial light of the tall building did not fail to light up people’s way. By the time the digi-destined decided to split up, it was 12m5 File Island Time (Equivalent to Pacific Time 8:30 pm), yet most of the lights in the tall city building are still on. “We’ll meet back at that fancy looking hotel at... say, 1:00am, or 1m0 at the latest, all right?” Matt says, looking at each of the Digi-destined “Or you could come back any time! Just ask for Matt when any of you need to look for what room we’ll be staying!” “Since when do you became the leader? What ever, I’m gone!” Adela said, leaving for the shops “I’ll go get us some room.” Kari say, heading for the hotel “And I’m gonna get my self some killer kick! Dude!” Duke ran off to a Digital-Nike store.

The air holds a scent of promise and wealth. People and Digimon of all kinds walking down the street with great pride and rich confidence. The prosperous city look like a giant Neon light from way up 250 floor of the Hilton Digital Grand Hotel, which the Digi-Destined planning to stay for the night. Many giant statues of all kinds decorated the city, giving it a majestic look while some parts of the city were partially exposing the dark and dirty streets hidden behind the mask of prosperity. Kari feels the dizziness she felt way back in Erebus’s inn. The golden light in the beautifully decorated room sending out a irritating radiance, burning her skin. She slowly walks out of the room and into the balcony of the room to get some cool air. She look down from the balcony and sees everything that was hidden behind the majestic and beautiful tall high-rises and streets. The dirty slum of the back street, where crime organizations and terrorist alike dwelled. The degree of violence and corruption are nothing less than back-city Chicago or New York. Digimon and Humans living in there pointlessly fulfilling their never-satisfying greed, black markets selling all kinds of merchandise from valuable items to weapons to drugs to body parts, beggars and burglars and thieves crawling their way through the dirty and stinking streets, crime boss and gang leader battling with each other for territories and business, welcome to the back street of Web-ring. Kari kneels down and sobbing. She remembered a bizarre but beautiful world, with simple and a little bit ignorant populace. It is a world worth defending, a world worth sacrifice for. And we’ve turn this world into a dirty slum, like our selves.

“It’s not your fault,” Kari remember that voice, it was the white-haired girl standing in front of the moon “all life desires, only some chosen the wrong path.” Darkness slowly covers the entire room, the city, and everything. “You desires, all life has different motives. It’s what kept us going.” Kari did not understand “You’ll understand...” Kari followed the voice into the empty darkness. She felt water as high as her knees, she sees the light house that shines black light. Giving up, she sank deeply into the water, letting it drawn her. She lies down on the gray sand of the Dark Ocean, letting the ocean wave bring up sands to bury her. Her whole body was in the water, and she felt peace like nothing she felt before. Amidst the sound of the ocean waves and the deep and low foghorn coming from the light house, she hears a knock on the door.

“Hey! Dude! Any one’s in there?” Duke impatiently knocks on the door of Kari’s room. Kari jumped down from her bed, despite her dizziness, to answer the door. “Wa...whazz up?...” She says in a sleepy tone “Whoa! What’s wrong, sister? Did I woke you up?” Duke says, apologetically “No... I’m just taking a nap... Say, what you got there?” Kari points at the box under his arm “This...is the magnificent, truly amazing, mythical to the point of horror, the Michael Jordan (c) 20 Digi-World version!! I’ve never knew that they have a whole lines of shoes just for the Digital World!! This is kind of big though... and it shaped like a dinosaur’s feet.” “I think this is size 8 for Dragon-type Digimon.” “Cool! A pair of Digimon shoes! No wonder the Robot-looking dude look at me weird when I pick this up. By the way, do you ‘ve the key for my room, yo?” Kari turn around and grabbed a set of card-keys from the top of the beside drawer, then hands Duke the keys. “Pick a room, I book five rooms just to make sure that we don’t have to argue over who will sleep where.” “I’ll take... the biggest room!” “They’re all the same. Besides, do you think I would wait for you to pick the biggest room?” “Aww...~~, say, dude, why don’t you go shop around? You don’t have to hang around the street, there’s a huge mall just bus ride away!” “Na... I’m too tired. I should’ve slept on the Sky ship...” “Are you still feeling bad about the Shade-dude?” “What?” “You look so sad ever since we went to hell and came back, girl!” “Oh, you noticed... It’s nothing... Just that Erebus reminded me of something.” “Care to talk about it? I can listen, ya’ know?” “It’s okay... I just need rest, that’s all.” “Well, I’m gonna put my ginormous Jordan back in my room, then back to hardcore shopping! You’re welcome to join me!” Kari think to her self for a second, then answers Duke “All right... It’s a date!”

“Fly~me to the ~moon ~...And~ let me ~play among the stars~...” Matt, holding Sora’s hand, softly and playfully sang to her, Sora answers in a soft voice “Oh, Matt, you cute and stupid rock star...” A top a gigantic building, Matt and Sora have their dinner in an expansive fine dining restaurant. “Don’t you think this is a bit over done...?” Sora asks. Matt puts his hand on Sora’s face “Not enough, for my sweet heart...” and he kisses her forehead “You talk sounds sweeter then your song...” Sora chuckles. Later, they went for a walk in the river harbor of the city. They laugh and dance their way down the street light lit harbor. In front of the quiet river and the rising moon, they sank deeply into each other’s arm, kissing. “All of this... It’s like a dream...” Sora soft said “Then let us never wake up...” Matt held Sora tighter. Both sets in a bench facing the bright tri-moon and the peaceful reflection of the river Data stream.

It is after a long time when Sora decided to get some hot drinks “It’s kind of cold out side. I think I saw a vending machine that sells coffee and other hot stuff, I’ll be right back.” And she left for a dark ally “It’s nice to have someone around.” a Digimon clad in dirty rag comes up to Matt “Yeah... it’s pretty good.” Matt carelessly answers “Well, on the note of that. Give me your card!” He revealed his sharp claw “What” Matt was stunned “You heard me! You bourgeois! Waving your little card around like you’re the king of this street, how ‘bout I borrowed it for a sec to stuff my stomach? And your girl? My friend well takes good care of her!” Matt look at his defiantly “You touch her once. I tear you to pieces!” “Worry ‘bout your self, will ya? Now hand it over, and the code too!” The Digimon approaches Matt with his claw “Halt, evil miscreant!” from a rundown old building in the dark streets, a shadowy figure leaps down and stands tall between Matt and the Digimon “I’m Capricormon, the armored crusader of the night!” Capricormon had a sheep’s head, clad in Greco armor and holding a Roman style sword. “What the hell!?” The Digimon was struck dumb with the sudden turn of event “Whoa, super hero.” Matt almost laughed “I’ll give you three seconds to scram!” Capricormon warned the Digimon “I’ll give you three claws!” the Digimon raised his claws, ready to attack “Fool! Meteor impact!” Capricormon drives his sword upwards with great magical power, sending the Digimon flying “Wow, that was cool. Wait! I’ve to save Sora, She maybe in danger!!” “It was nothing.” Sora appeared with two caned Espresso in her right hand and dragging a dirty and large man with her left hand “My Tai-Kwan-do lessons paid off!” Capricormon look at her with surprise “Okay...Now that you’re both safe, my job is done! Enjoy your coffees and be safe!!” With that Capricormon leap into the dark streets and disappeared “That was weird.” Matt says as Sora hands him his Espresso “Do we have to return these dress?” Sora asks “We bought them.” Matt answers “Oh.” “I think the Limo is waiting over there around the corner, I want to go back to the hotel now.”

“I wonder what everyone else is doing right now.” Kari said “They’ll be fine.. Hay! Bodyguards for hire!” Duke walks into a well-decorated office, a female Digimon welcomes him “What can I do for you to day?” Kari walks in “What are you doing~?” She asks in an impatient voice, Duke wave her off “Do you guys really have bodyguards for hire? This is like a movie!” The Digimon smiled “We offer protection for tourist, business people and people with records. You can sign a temporary or a permanent contract with us. We’ll assign a well-trained body guard, who will comply to your every need and demands.” Kari comes and drags Duke out of the office “He’s just kidding around. Sorry to bother you!” “That is so cool!” Duke said in excitement “How is that cool? Never mind, I think I’ll get something to eat before I go back.” “Don’t you want to get some shoes, dude?” ”I have enough shoes, thank you! What’s with you and shoes?” “I like ‘em” “that’s obvious”

Even though it is already pass midnight, the mall is still crowded with people and Digimons, as if nobody in this city ever sleeps. Kari and Duke goes to the Digital MacDonald’s for some fast food ”Maybe I can do a report on corporate culture in the Digital world for my Philosophy class. Say, where do you goto school, Duke?” “You mean college? I ain’t got no money for college, man. I’m a car mechanic and a part-time DJ!” “That sound great.” “Yeah, I get to hang out with my homies every day and do all kinds of cool stuff... But I still want to go to school, for a degree in music or something, but I ain’t got enough money...” “You don’t have to have a lot of money to go to college. you just have to work hard.” “Well...” “Hay, don’t you have that limitless credit card? Let’s go register for one right now!” “But...” “Don’t ‘but’ me, I saw one college registration office here some where!” “A registration office? Here?” “Well, I think Digimon like to go to school too.” Kari pull Duke by the arm to the college registration office. A human welcome them “hello, how may I help you today?” “We, I mean, he wants to register for a college in New York, someplace that is specialized in degrees for music.” “Alright, we have Parson College of Fine art, Courtland college, and several others, which one do you wish to register?” Kari push Duke to the front desk “Uh..um... Which ever’s the best!” Duke said “AL right, the class will start in January next year, here’s a list of requirement you need before then. You can pay the tuition now or later in the year.” “We’ll pay now.” Kari hold her card up.

Matt and Sora was finally back in the hotel “Wait here, I’ve a surprise for you.” Sora said, enter the room and close the door “Okay...” Matt wait patiently at the door, thinking back to the happy moments they had earlier(except for the weird super hero part). The door opens and Matt walks in the room “So what’s the surprise, oh... that” Sora sits naked save a sheet of blanket. She walks up to Matt and press her body against him, and slowly take off his cloths “Sora... this...” Sora puts her finger on Matt’s lips ”Shh... I want to enjoy this moment silently...” (Enjoy this mental picture, you Sorato Fans!) She guide Matt with her hand onto the bed, while Matt kiss her lightly on her back. The smooth moon light cover them, as love burn like fire in their heart. (I can’t believe I just said that.)

“Man, they’re really doing it hard, yo!” Duke said, his ear glue on to the wall facing Sora’s room “Would you stop it!?” Kari got mad and yelled at Duke “Alright! You don’t have to yell~” Duke regretfully remove his ear from the wall “Hey guys! I’m home!” Adela comes into the room with several large shopping bags “Whoa! That’s some major shopping you got there.” Kari says “Yeah, I got a little bit of something for everybody. Here, Kari, try this on!” Adela throws Kari a revealing leather outfit “What the heck is this?” “Oh, just a little something to make your life more exciting, you know. That shirt of yours are beginning to bore me out. Man, they’re really doing it hard!” Kari remove her gaze at the outfit and look up to see Adela having her ear on the wall “What’s with you guys?” Kari sighs.

The full moon rise high above the sky, sending it’s tranquil light into the bedroom. Matt look deeply into Sora, who’s sleeping soundly in his arms. He think back to the days when all of the Digi-destined are together, when Sora is still vary fond of Tai. He remember how shy those two were, never dear to be the first person to ask the other to a date. He remember how he stage his first date with her by lying to her that the Mimi and Tai and Joe are going to hang out with her and himself, then telling her that they’re not coming and it’s them alone. He remember his first kiss with her. The sense of guilt overcomes Matt, and he held Sora tighter in his arm, afraid that she might be taken away from him, and suddenly, he realized that he’s been afraid all this time, that he did not truly love Sora, but is using her to ascertain himself of his value. “Do you doubt?” He heard a deep, enchanting voice from the window balcony “What the!? Who’s there!?” Matt said out loud, looking at the window “I can help you. I’m Hadesmon, and I’m here to offer you a deal.” The shadowy figure of Hadesmon appear in the window “What deal?” Matt coldly reply “Hmm...” Hadesmon look to Sora, Matt is silent. A while later, every thing is back to the way it suppose to be. Sora, oblivious to Matt and Hadesmon, still deep asleep in Matt’s arm. Matt is staring blankly out the window when he suddenly hear Sora sleep-talking “Mmm...hm... Stupid Tai...should have phone me first...mmm...”

It’s about 9m2 in the morning when the Digi-destined gather in the restaurant of the hotel for breakfast. The mourning sun shine so bright, the entire dining hall is light up by the radiant soft sun light. Most of the cities populations are already gone to school, work, etc., so the restaurant is empty save a few wondering travelers and the Digi-destined. The restaurant is designed in Gothic architecture, surrounded by ceiling-to-floor-windows and elaborate decorating columns. The dining hall was decorated simply with artworks that lack lively colors and dried, mud-yellow flowers. “...And so I bought a gigantic Digimon shoes, I’m thinking that I’ll put it with the rest of the shoes that I don’t wear.” Duke says, a little bit embarrassed “I still can’t figure out how you could buy a pair of shoes with out noticing that it’s ten times you foot size. Any way, so, how was last night, Matt~?” Adela look at Matt in a provocative way “It was good.” Matt plays dumb “Good? How good? Can you show me?” “Sure, come by at 10m!” “That’s enough out of you two.” Sora smack Matt in the back of his head and give Adela the evil eyes “Now that every one had their fun, maybe we should contact Zeusmon to plan our next move.” Kari says “Do we have to~? Oh well, Lets go to Iris, may be she knows how to contact Zeusmon” Adela says

“Do you want your payment in banking account or credit card?” Iris says “Of course credit card! I don’t want to pay for unnecessary long distance call!” Matt says “If Zeusmon want us to call him any time we’re in trouble, why doesn’t he make the phone free? He does own a telephone company.” Kari says. The screen in the computer room switched to Zeusmon’s room, and half of the screen was covered by Zeusmon’s angry face “WHAT IN THE DIGITAL MATRIX ARE YOU DOING!!??” He shouted “Uh... Calling you?” Duke answers “I mean the credit card!! Didn’t I tell you to conceal your movements!? I’m getting bills from expensive hotels, clothing stores, high-class restaurants, Digimon shoe store, Digimon shoe store!? What do you need Digimon’s shoes for!? And college deposit!? What the!~? Not only Hadesmon, even a Digi-egg from Primary village can track you down!!” “Well... we’re in a big city, and...” “And!? And you’ve been exposed to the enemy!! The whole mission could be ruined!!” “Well, why did you give us the credit card for?” Matt says “I gave you the card because there might be a time when only large amount of money can get you out of the jam!” “What do you want us to do then?” Adela asks bitterly “Get out of there!! Iris! Head for Static village, I’ll contact you fools once you get there!!” With that, Zeusmon hang up. “Well, better start packing.” Iris says to the Digi-destined “

After the digi-destined packed up all their stuff and booties, they head for the Sky port, their final purchase in town is a Taxi ride “I would have bought a car,” says Matt to Duke “But I don’t know if Iris can carry it.” It is at the Sky-port when their trip in the big city draws the end. Upon their arrival, another Digimon had make his way to the sky port, and ready to intercept the Digi-destined.

“Halt! Young worriers!” A familiar voice to Matt called to the Digi-destined. They turned around and sees Capricormon “Halt in the name of Hadesmon!” He says to them “Hadesmon? What do you have to do with him? Oh by the way, he’s the weird Digimon Super hero I was talking about, guys.” Matt says “Lord Hadesmon is the leader of our band of worriers! I won’t tell you our name, because it’s top secret! Anyway, Lord Hadesmon wants me to tell you that go back to your realm! This is not your war! Our Digimon could take care of our own problem.” “You know what? All bad guys have bad lines (Don’t look at me! I didn’t make up the rules!) Well, you’re the writer! (So it’s all my fault isn’t it?) Anyway, Capricormon, you look like a good guy. Why are you fighting for Hadesmon?” Kari says “I’m the good guy! Hadesmon send me to defend this city from in-justice!” “What!?” “You have to leave now! This war is between Digimons and Digimons, this is not your war!” “Look, buddy, I don’t care which side are you on. But if you stop me from saving Gabumon, you’re in big trouble!” Matt, saying, turn into Anubitemon, the rest of the party (who can Digi-evolve) joins the fray “If it has to be like that, so be it!!” Capricormon Attacks the Digi-destined.

The Sky-port turned into a battle field, panic travelers quickly exit the departure hall, while curious tourist, busybody journalist, and some war-like digimons stayed to admire the battle. Anubitemon deploy his golden sickles into a flashing cloud of gold, advancing fiercely and quickly at Capricormon, who move as quickly as Anubitemon, blocking every attack he delivers. Seinuemon unleash her magical beams and Frost Valkyrmon try to cripple Capricormon, which Capricormon blocked easily even as he defend him self from Anubitemon’s advance. Amazonmon joined the close quarter combat, welding her spear and shield, but even then Capricormon is fighting with ease “I shill convince you to go home!” He stick his sword into the floor “Meteor Impact!!” A blast of energy send both Anubitemon and Amazonmon flying “The power...! it’s unlike anything we’ve faced before!!” Even Seinuemon, who was far away from the fray, shaken by the amount of power generated in the blast zone “Come on! We’re going in!” Frost Valkyrmon leads the charge with her combat axe and Seinuemon prepares for close combat with her pike. Capricormon wasn’t faltering then, neither is he faltering now, Although both Frost Valkyrmon and Seinuemon’s combat weapons are surrounded by magical aura, Capricormon still fight with ease, and with a spin, Seinuemon and Frost Valkyrmon’s attack was repelled “Amazing... Arcane level Myth-Digimon can hold up against Mythical level Digimon like me for five minutes!!” “Are you mocking us!?” Anubitemon yelled at Capricormon “No, seriously! This IS Amazing!!”

It didn’t take long for the party to recovers from the initial shock of Capricormon’s power, they attempt another attack, this time all four of them strikes. Even then is Capricormon fight with ease, his sword swing so fast, that his body has a mist of silver dust, blocking every attack. He blocks Frost Valkyrmon’s upward slash of her axe, turn around and ram with his body, Frost Valkyrmon was knock off a few steps, making un prepare for Capricormon’s follow-up sword strike, She’s down for the count. Then Capricormon turn his attention to Anubitemon, who strike his sickles from both side of Capricormon. He block both attack with in nano-seconds, and a single sword strike take down Anubitemon. Then he turn around to answer Seinuemon’s vicious attack, the tip of the pike swing and sting at Capricormon, who block every shot. Unable to topple him in close range combat, Seinuemon jump back to unleash her magical beams attack, which were dodged and blocked by Capricormon. He approached her with incredible speed and knock her out of commission. Amazonmon didn’t wait for Capricormon to prepare for her, she charge at him with fury. Capricormon turn in surprise “Shield Of Medusa!” Capricormon struggle to move but Amazonmon already begin to deliver her fatal strike “No!” Capricormon break free of the petrification and swings a defensive strike, but the in the nick of time Capricormon’s defensive blow shatter Amazonmon’s shield and break her arm “By the Gods!! Are you alright!? I’m so sorry!!” Ironically, Capricormon abandon his sword and shield to tend to Amazonmon “Wha...ow!” Athena confused by Capricormon’s caring attitude “Don’t move. See, told you should go back, that looks bad... I’m sorry, I never intend to strike so hard...” Capricormon blow softly on her arm “This would ease the pain, but you should see a doctor when you go back.” Capricormon finish with Amazonmon and turn to face Duke, who have been witnessing the awesome power of Capricormon “This is Digital World, Herman Duke. A place filled with strife and violence, it is not a place for humans, I believe you would want to go back now!” Duke was scared to the bones, but he stand up to Capricormon “No! Look, dude, I’ve come this far with these awesome people, and I will not abandon them now!” “But you could not do a thing about it! Let Digimons restore the order of the Digital World, this is not you’re war!” “No way, Dude! I know I ain’t much, but I’ll help my homies no matter what, yo!!” “But you can’t fight! I’ll kill you!” “We’ll see about that, Dude!”

It is time

Horns of Midgard blows!

=Digi-evolution is completed, Ulfsarkmon is summoned=

In the mist of thundering rumble, a tall and muscular figure rose from the rubble created by his birth. His chain-mail shirt can barely conceal his well built body, his head is cover by a metal wolf-skin. He hold up his round Norse shield and pointed his sword at Capricormon. Duke is Ulfsarkmon, the berserker worrier. His strength is fueled by his strong friendships for others “I’m coming to get you, Dude!! I’ll prove to you that we’ll save this world, Yo!!” With incredible might he swings his sword at Capricormon, Capricormon easily block this strike, but felt it’s strength and falters “What!?” Ulfsarkmon’s sword is double the size of Capricormon’s, he hammer away at Capricormon, who stubbornly resist each blow, but already his sword and shield is cracking. Ulfsarkmon slowly reduce Capricormon’s strength, who immediately realize his tactics, and start dodging Ulfsarkmon’s attack instead of meeting it head-on. But even Capricormon’s hit and run tactic could not penetrate Ulfsarkmon’s heavily built body. Suddenly Capricormon stop the fight “I...surrender.” “What!?” Ulfsarkmon surprise at Capricormon’s sudden admit of defeat “I can not match your strength, nor your defenses. I’ve lost fair and square, and I shall not bother you worriers.” He turns around and prepare to leave, then turn his head to face Ulfsarkmon “But I’ll be back to challenge you again!” “Wait!! Just which side are you on?” Ulfsarkmon asks ”I’m Capricormon, Hadesmon’s Constellion.”

“Constellions of the Agenda, gather.” Hadesmon call to six mysterious figure including Capricormon gather in front of Hadesmon ”They’re truly magnificent worriers, my lord.” Capricormon says “They proves to be quite a challenge... They will not interfere with my plan anymore, Cancermon!” A figure emerges from the group “Persuade our human friends to mind their own business.” “Yes, my lord.” “That will be all, now leave me be, worriers.” The group descend into the darkness “If I’m right, the little girl might be the savior ‘the gift of Atlantis’...”
