“How….How did everything go so wrong?” Rainbow groaned as she lay upon the rocky surface surrounded by her exhausted friends, as they found themselves surrounded by a horde of Skullgreymon with many other digimon and she cried into the ground as the Skullgreymon prepared to launch the final blow to the exhausted group but Rainbow still clawed at the ground reaching for the digiegg “This can’t be how it ends?!”
She glanced up and saw the creature that lead the Skullgreymon, it was a pony shrouded in darkness and their mane shone with a dark blue colour. Rainbow then heard the pony yell “Finish them off!”
Pinkie reached for Rainbow’s hand and said with tearful eyes “R…Rai…Rainbow, if we had made it back…” she gasped as she began to cry even more “I…wanted to throw a party for our new friends…” she then added “But…it looks like we’re never going to see Equestria again”
“No” Rainbow whispered “I know we’ll see Equestria again! Happy and free” she rose to her feet and looked at the nearest Skullgreymon before screaming “Come on you nightmare night rejects! Hit me with your best shot!” she closed her eyes confident they would pull through.
2 Hours Earlier
“So that’s the plan? It seems like a dangerous long shot” Leo said as TK got through his plan and the group gathered round the table found themselves feeling a little stunned at the reckless idea “So to summarise we’re going to split our forces in three, one from the North, one from the East and one from the South? Hoping that one faction can gain the enemies attention and allow the other two to get the digiegg?”
“It does seem dangerous, TK” Renamon commented as she looked at the map “With the sea in the west, they could get reinforcements that might cause us problems and then there’s that massive castle, what if the digiegg is in there….we could get lost or held up trying to get inside” she paused and added “It may be an idea to see if we can find another digiegg instead of this one…this one really might be beyond what we can do at the moment….our job would be so much easier if we did have a mega on our side”
“It would but at the moment we have to hope we can find an ally who is an equal to a mega or even hopefully a better” Tamera said locking her fingers together “Sadly our allies are what they are and there’s not a lot we can do to change it”
Rainbow sighed rubbing the back of her head “Can I make a change to your plan, TK?” TK nodded slowly to Rainbow’s question and she continued “Well the squad coming in from the north will encounter Mountains? Wouldn’t it be better to send our flyers up that way? As for the East, I can’t help but notice where the portal will come out in will be a city, well we should send our most stealthy group there and the rest should come from the south?”
“Indeed that is a very good observation, Miss Dash but the problem with that idea is, many of our best team players are stealth specialists. I mean it’s just the way things have worked out and we haven’t many flyers” Kudamon said, Kudamon was TK’s intelligence specialist and thus was the smartest being in the room “While sending a group via the north is risky, they’re our best hope at reaching the castle by surprise but I do have one concern…” he jumped onto the map and pointed to a small cave located in the north west of the castle “We don’t have a lot information available about this cave and what is inside…”
“Then the plan is sheer suicide!” Raphael, one of the turtles said in a very angry tone “We need to know, what’s in that cave”
“Calm down, Raph” Leo said calmly and added “There could be any number of hiding places of enemy forces, not just that cave, the city for example could have any number of unaccounted threats but have we ever shied away from the enemy and all the threats they present?” the two remaining turtles shook their heads “I say we go for it!”
“I’m game, if you are, TK!” Patamon said with a big smile “With my new form, I’ll bet we can take on any enemy!”
“Alright. You guys will need all the help you can get…I’m in!” Raphael said with a smirk and pulled out his sai, doing a quick spin with them in each hand but then asked “So who’s in charge of each group”
“I’ve been thinking about that, I’ll take the group in the north and with Pegasusmon, our speed will hopefully help but we’ll also be the strongest group. As for the city Leonardo will be in charge with Rainbow acting as his second in command. The group in the south, will have Pinkie leading the way as her…um…Pinkie sense will give her group an edge”
Rainbow suddenly snapped “What?! But why?! I am a flyer and even if I don't have my wings just now…I still should be in charge of my group!” she was cross, she couldn’t help but baffle at the idea of Pinkie being in charge of a group and she playing second fiddle to a turtle! Tank would never let her live this down “I don’t understand!”
Kudamon coughed “Miss Dash, while you are very capable, no one would deny that but Leonardo needs at least one experienced digimon on his team and since Renamon can’t digivolve without you…you’re in the east group! Leonardo is already an experienced leader so I’m sorry!” he jumped onto her shoulder “However you’ll be happy to know I’m coming with your group and a group of our ally digimon will be waiting for us when we get there”
TK nodded “As will a group of ally digimon will be waiting for Pinkie’s group and my group” he then added “When one of the groups get the egg, the group is to send an attack into the air, the other groups will hopefully see the attacks and we’ll be able to pull back to the portals”
Dorulumon suddenly snapped “Hang on! Who am I with?!”
“I’m sorry, Dorulumon but we need someone to remain here to protect the computer and your our most skilled fighter” Kudamon said with a sad shrug “I hope that’s okay?”
Dorulumon growled with some resentment but smiled and said “Oh fine but I’m coming on the next mission” as he went and lay in the corner and added “I hope our other allies will be ready for us” he said looking at Tamera who gave him a smile and a nod “Who’d you get to help us anyway?”
“I got help and for now that’s all you need to know” Tamera said with a cheeky smile and turned to TK “If I might suggest I should remain here too and the unit coming from the north should wait five minutes after the other two squads go through”
TK looked at her with a raised eyebrow, rubbing his chin and then asked “Why? Why should Patamon and I wait?” he paused and smiled “Oh! I see…you think the enemy will have a way to detect us the moment we go through the portal?”
“Indeed but more than that, they probably have flying digimon flying around the northern portal and if they detect you two Pegasusmon will be at a disadvantage from the start” Tamera said and turned to the others “If they detect the other two squads…then the enemy forces might be drawn away from TK”
“It is indeed a good plan but I think we need to agree on something” Donatello said thoughtfully but ending on a serious note “I think we need to agree that no matter how grave the battle a squad may get into….the other two squads should focus solely on the egg and make sure it gets back” he paused at the uneasy looks the others were exchanging between themselves “I do think once the egg is here….we could send reinforcements?”
Kudamon however said “I think your right about prioritising the egg but after the egg is back here, that’s the end of the mission and no help should be sent, in case it’s a trap” he didn’t look happy to admit that simple fact “So in other words….all squads are on their own”
TK sighed sadly “I do think that is the best way to operate” and with that Patamon nodded but they both looked a little sad by the decision. Leonardo nodded but Raphael and Michelangelo looked uncomfortable with the mission’s direction. However Sora suddenly burst in and grabbed TK by the shoulders “Sora! What’s the matter?!” TK asked in alarm at the look of pure terror on Sora’s face.
“I…I was just at the school! I saw Tai…he…he….oh TK! He used the portal in the computer lab!” Sora stammered before bursting into tears.
“He did what?!” Rainbow said in alarm “Did you hear where he was going?!” she asked as she approached Sora with a stern look on her face.
Sora sadly shook her head and an awful realization went around the room “He’s gone after his digiegg” Rainbow breathed out in a hollow tone “He’ll be killed”
Kudamon looked down and he said in a hollow broken tone “We can track him” he then pointed to their scanner and Izzy turned it on “Where is he?!” however the scanner showed where Tai was and it was on the other side of the digital world from the egg “We need Tai….new plan Rainbow, Pinkie and you turtles…you’ll go after the egg in one group from the north” he turned to Tamera “You need to get the help you got to reinforce this group…where are they?”
“I don't know where they are…when they arrive I’ll send them through to help” Tamera said dryly and her face looked as if they were already beaten “But they may not be here for a while but Kudamon where will you go now?” Kudamon as if to answer her question, Kudamon nuzzled into Rainbow's shoulder and got a disapproving glare from Renamon “Alright but what about TK?”
“TK, your job is to get Tai back to this world! Tamera make sure to send some help to TK after the reinforcements arrive” Kudamon said hoping there would be more help ready to jump to TK’s aide but it was a desperate hope “Right! Everyone get ready!” the portal opened and the new group of the two ponies, three digimon and four turtles were transported.
Tamera watched with a sad shake of her head and whispered “Good luck”
When the group reached their destination they looked around looking for a landmark but of course with the barren rock they stood upon, only the distant shores offered any sense of direction and so Leonardo turned to the others “Right let’s go” they walked south the endless quiet was a distracting annoyance to Raphael, Pinkie and Rainbow but Leo kept telling the group they were getting closer.
However soon Pinkie suddenly shuttered “Pinkie sense?” she questioned, Tamera had explained that the Pinkie Sense may fail her since she was no longer in her pony body but the warning was a good one “There are friendly ponies nearby!” she said happily and with that the group heard the crunching of rock but the turtles still raised their weapons. However they suddenly found themselves surrounded by a group of small digimon “OOO they’re ninjas!”
“We’re Ninjamon! We’re the silent assassins of the digital world! With our Ninja Knife throw, you’ll be silenced before you can scream for help!” the Ninjamon said in unison but Pinkie ran forward and embraced the head Ninjamon who smiled.
“Oh um hello…I take it you must Pinkie pie?” the lead Ninjamon asked as Pinkie gave him a slip of paper “Kudamon! Sir! Our other units are waiting in the other locations you asked for but we thought the north unit was supposed to be quite small?”
Kudamon jumped down and said “Change of plans….you better contact your friends and ask them to meet us here?” Kudamon asked hopefully.
“Yes, sir!” Ninjamon said saluting and turning to two other Ninjamon “Go fetch Leomon’s group and Orgemon’s group” after his two friends had left, the lead Ninjamon turned “It’ll take them about an hour to get here but our company’s commander is in our underground base….follow us” after a few minutes and a strangely placed door, the group arrived in a large cave with a few different digimon readying themselves for battle “Meet our commander, Andromon”
Andromon sat in the middle of the cave with his back to the group but then he stood up and turned “I am Andromon” he said with a toneless voice but then he noticed Kudamon on Rainbow Dash’s shoulders and bowed respectfully “Sir, Kudamon, we weren’t expecting you to be with this group”
“Change of plans” Kudamon said with a sad shake of his head “Tai Kamiya entered the digital world far to the east of here, we thought he wouldn’t but we were wrong and without his digimon partner the danger has never been so serious” Kudamon explained.
“My Ninjamon can go find him, if you need them to” Andromon said for the first time showing two emotions, fear and concern “I owe the digi-destined much and Tai is an old friend” he turned to the Ninjamon but Kudamon shook his head “Might I assume you have a plan to save him?”
“Yes we do” Kudamon said smiling sadly “But sadly we need to focus on the situation here, Andromon wasn’t it you who discovered the location of the digiegg?”
“Indeed but it’s more than one” Andromon said with a slight smile “There are three of them”
“Why didn’t you tell us that?!” Rainbow asked in shock “Three eggs?! That’s….that’s awesome!” she gave her fist a little wave of joy and the turtles joined in with her celebrations “What are we waiting for?! Let’s go!”
Renamon however growled “There is a danger thou?” she asked Andromon who nodded “I knew it sounded too easy” she then grabbed Rainbow by the shoulder “It would be advisable to listen to Andromon and everything he has to say” she looked into Rainbow’s eyes with a firm but kind look “While seeing all the dedication you and Pinkie show….this world can be very cruel”
Andromon then pointed to a map and they all gathered round it “My calculations show our best hope of success would be to send all but your group and the Ninjamon, to the south of the castle and that should give you the opening you need” he then added “But our chances aren’t the best, as I calculate, once Leomon and Orgemon’s groups arrive, our best opening would be as soon as possible” he then added “However if we launch our attack right away, Leomon and Orgemon might join us”
Pinkie smiled and said with a confident thumbs up “I say we go for it!” she then turned to the turtles who nodded their support and Gotsumon also gave Pinkie the thumbs up “If we wait around like grumpy wumpies then our chance might slip past us and that just wouldn’t be good!”
“Now that’s what I like to hear from you, Pinkie” Gotsumon said with another smile and thumbs up “We’re going to rock this”
Leonardo however said “I just had a thought, Andromon. The report said it’s within the bowls of a castle?”
Andromon pointed to the map, the map of course was far more detailed and Andromon pointed to a small cave at the base of the mountain the castle was built on “There’s a secret entrance. It should lead to the castle’s dungeons where the eggs are being stored” he then turned his head “One of Tamera’s allies is here to guide you because they have memorised the root to the cave” and with that a man appeared directly behind Pinkie.
“Oooo another ninja, he’s so good!” Pinkie said as she had sensed the man “Who are you?! Are you a special ultra-ninja?”
“I suppose you could say that” the man said and he gave Pinkie a small thumbs up “The name is Kakashi Hatake!” he added “I’m certainly the best ninja here”
Pinkie smiled at Kakashi and said excitingly “Oooo we could have like a super ninja contest! We could have like five catergories and…” but Rainbow held her finger to Pinkie’s mouth, Rainbow shook her head once and then Pinkie stopped talking, Rainbow took her finger away but then Pinkie said “Aww but Rainbow I have a name in mind! The Ninja Factor!”
“Really?” Rainbow said sceptically and then groaned “Can we just get on with this?” but Renamon then tapped Rainbow on the shoulder and Rainbow turned asking “What is it, Renamon?”
“I think Pinkie’s idea sounds like fun” Renamon said as she rubbed her chin “I could totally win and show you all how awesome I am!”
Rainbow let out a little giggle but then grabbed Renamon’s shoulder and whispered into her ear “I hate to say this…..none of you could win!” and when Renamon gave her a funny look, Rainbow whispered “Pinkie has done things that would put a lot of ninjas to shame. She does it every day and you normally need like twelve eyes to keep up”
Renamon giggled as well and looked into Rainbow’s eyes “I suppose that makes sense” she said as she realised Rainbow was smarter than she looked but then Renamon added “To be fair we should probably prepare to go?” she asked Kudamon who nodded happily.
Thus the groups within the cave split up, the first group led by Andromon headed for the south east to meet up with Leomon and Orgemon’s groups. Kakashi led the other group to the south west, this group soon saw the castle in the distance but even at a distance it’s high walls and impressive defences were obvious. Rainbow kept up with Kakashi as he jumped over low rocks but she then became curious.
“So um Mr Kakashi, what’s under that mask you wear?” Rainbow asked, she wanted to know more about this interesting guy who since he’d introduced himself had remained quiet, the others were chatting cheerfully and yet Kakashi was oddly silent “I mean not that I dislike it but I am curious?”
"So you want to learn more about me?" Kakashi gave her a pleasant look from his right eye and said “Well you see, my name is Kakashi and I’m from the village of Konohagakure. So that’s my whole deal” he noticed Rainbow’s confused look and added “Oh you want to know more about me than just the basics?”
“Well yeah!” Rainbow snapped annoyed as she huffed “Are all ninjas this annoying! Let me tell ya how it’s done! My name is Rainbow Dash, I’m from Ponyville in Equestria and that’s all you told me” she stuck her tongue out but noticing Kakashi was laughing she added “My favourite book is Daring do, I have a pet tortoise called Tank and I’m awesome!” she gave Kakashi a cheeky smirk “See that’s how it’s done!”
“Yeah, okay my favourite book is Icha Icha by Master Jiraiya” Kakashi said but then noticed Rainbow’s look “Oh what is it now?”
“Did you say Jiraiya?” Rainbow asked to which Kakashi nodded “So tall guy with long white hair, reddish clothing and awesome moves!?” Kakashi nodded slowly and Rainbow smiled “Huh? We got a lot of help from him”
“I don’t see how” Kakashi said calmly “He’s dead” Kakashi then added “But what do I know” he then pointed to the castle “Right now, we need to focus on how we’re going to fight the enemy if they engage us in battle” but then he gave her a wink “I have a squad of dogs but Pakkun is my lead dog and I’d say I’m alright” suddenly Kakashi began to move his hands in a funny style, he then put his hand on the ground and yelled “Summoning Jutsu!” there was a puff of smoke and a small brown dog appeared “Rainbow Dash, this is Pakkun”
“Yeah what is it now, Kakashi?” Pakkun asked dryly “I was just getting my paws seen to” he held up his paw and added “My pads have never felt so good but then you called me…this had better be good because if I don’t get back, Bull might take my spot and I have waited too long for that spot!”
“I promise we won’t take up too much of your time” Rainbow said looking at the talking dog in shock “But question how can you talk?!”
“Night classes” Pakkun joked and added “So um Kakashi…who is she?” he didn’t seem all that interested but he did give Rainbow an appraising look “I mean she doesn’t seem like Ninja material but it wouldn’t be the first time that I misjudged someone…I mean that kid has gotten further than I thought he would”
“Pakkun, this is Rainbow Dash, she is a friend” Kakashi said as Rainbow looked a little cross “And she doesn’t want to be a ninja”
“Hey! Who said that?!” Rainbow snapped looking at Pakkun with a frown “I could totally be a ninja! I’d be the best ninja there ever was!” she then gave Kakashi a cheeky smirk “I mean Ninjas are pretty cool!”
“Ummmm, you remind me of Naruto, all energy and no brains” Pakkun said with a dismissive shake of his head but then he looked very sacred “Everyone get down!” the group dropped onto their bellies and hid under the Ninjamon’s cover. As they lay hidden, disguised as a rock, they witnessed a sight that send a chill down their collective spines, below them walking in formation was a horde of evil digimon many hundreds all marching in the direction Andromon had headed for.
“Oh no!” one of the Ninjamon whispered in a hushed whisper, pointing to the air were a group of flying digimon “Those are Megadramon, if you want to talk about an all-purpose flying death machine, then Megadramon fits perfectly and their Dark side attack will demolish all their enemies with a single blast” he then pointed at a second flying digimon within the group “And those are Phamtomon, their Shadow Scythes are the stuff of nightmares!” another point and he explained “And those are Ladydevimon, a nightmare solider with terrifying claws!”
“Enough!” Kakashi said with a finger to his mask “We don’t need to know who they all are! We just need to avoid them!”
“I wouldn’t be so confident about that. Look who they have on the ground, we’ll be lucky to slip past some of them” Gotsumon explained and pointed to the nearest digimon enemy “Those are Skullgreymon, vicious fighting monsters that make the entire world shake by simply breathing and their Dark shot is feared by even mega digimon” he then pointed to the largest group “Those are Tankmon, they have a sneeze like a cannon and those are Mekanorimon, they’re twin beam attacks are really best avoided” he then shook his head “However what those three have in common is they’re senses, it’s hard to avoid them because the sensors they have within their bodies”
Kakashi swore under his breath and sighed “Tamera did say we have at least two more allies on the way to help?” he asked Kudamon, who nodded with a kind smile and Kakashi said “Alright, so does anyone have a suggestion? We’d better get those eggs so we can get out as our allies arrive and then we can retreat” he then raised two fingers “I also have a friend nearby who will be on root to help us”
“Oh come on Kakashi, she won’t be much use in this fight” Pakkun huffed as he lay down “But I suppose we should wait till our friends arrive to help”
Leonardo nodded “Yeah, if we try to sneak past those guys we might struggle to stifle any noise….especially with Michelangelo and Pinkie” he said with a slight giggle and so the group observed the large horde of digimon passing but they were able to chat as they waited because they were at a safe distance. Pinkie and Michelangelo shared in a game of knots and crosses which Pinkie won easily “Wow Mickey, you suck at this game” Leonardo teased and laughed as the others shared a slight giggle.
“Well, maybe Leo, you should give it a go!” Michelango said with a taunting smile and five minutes on from that, Michelango was laughing with the others as he said “Wow, Leo, you suck at this game!” Leonardo and Michelango began to share a collective laugh but not before Michelango said “Man, Pinkie, you’re amazing”
“Hey, you lot, incoming!” Pakkun said as they observed a figure approaching them “Prepare for a fight!” however as the figure got closer Pakkun let out a sigh of relief “Oh it’s just her” as the girl got closer, Pakkun said “Hello Rukia”
"Hello, Pakkun, Kakashi" Rukia nodded slowly and turned to Rainbow “Might I assume that you are Miss Rainbow Dash and…” she looked over at the group and groaned “Kind of a shame Captain Komamaru isn’t here, it’d probably put a smile on his face and all but might I assume you are Pinkie Pie?” she asked Pinkie who nodded excitingly “Well it’s nice to meet both of you”
Rainbow smiled and said “Well…yeah it’s nice to meet you too” she looked Rukia over from the black robes to her weapon and had a question that was bugging her “Kakashi said you were off somewhere, um what were you doing?” she asked unsure if the question was needed.
“Well Kakashi send me ahead to explore the tunnels beneath the castle and see if I could find the eggs” Rukia explained before giving the group a sad smile “I found all three eggs but they’re being guarded by a group of digimon” she handed a scrap of paper to Renamon who looked at the picture with a dismissive frown “Well?”
“Well what, I can’t tell which digimon this is supposed to be?” Renamon asked and added “I mean it kind of looks like a Guardromon but I’m really not sure. If it is Guardromon then we may have a chance but if I’m wrong we could be walking into a disastrous attack” she then asked “So were there any other digimon except a group of these Guardromon?”
“Um yes” Rukia said as she handed Renamon another slip of paper but again Renamon pulled a funny look “Oh what’s wrong now?! It’s not that bad!”
Rainbow looked over Renamon’s shoulder and burst out laughing “Oh man! It’s like looking at Twilight’s mane after I..haha” she couldn’t resist laughing as she rolled on the ground “Oh, I’m sorry Rukia but that’s just…hahaha” she continued to laugh again but this time Kakashi looked at it and his eyes went wide. He nodded and gave Rainbow a small tap with his foot “Sorry, Kakashi but I can’t tell what that’s supposed to be”
Renamon sighed “It kind of looks like a digimon called Etemon but if that is him…we could be in for a lot of trouble” she explained as she then looked at Kakashi “We maybe out matched by Etemon” she paused and said in a more defeated tone “If it is him, then when we get close, his Concert crush has the power to make our champion digimon return to their rookie form”
Leonardo chose this moment to speak up “I say we go for it!” the group gave him a variety of looks from the look of thanks Kakashi gave him to the look of horror Gotsumon gave him but he then said “Well we’ve got those eggs or our chances will be greatly reduced!”
Rainbow smiled “Why don’t we put it to a vote?” the group nodded and she said “Right all those in favour of giving up and going home…raise your hand!” only Gotsumon and the Ninjamon raised their hands but the rest of the group remained down “So let’s move!”
After they all crossed the remaining distance, Rukia took over for guiding them and showed them to a tiny cave at the base of the mountain “Be careful, the tunnel from here is only big enough for us to go in single file” Kakashi nodded and moved to the head of the group followed by Rainbow and Rukia. The rest of the group followed with Raph bringing up the rear “We just need to follow the tunnel to the end but get ready for a fight”
Soon they reached a large chamber and as Kakashi looked inside there were the three the digieggs “So where are the guards?” the chamber was completely empty “I don’t like this” Kakashi whispered shaking his head.
“I say we go for it!” Michelangelo snapped and charged forward, running straight for the three eggs but as he got to them he suddenly collapsed.
“Mickey!” Raph yelled as he too ran forward
“Poison Thread!” a voice yelled out and Raph was caught in a sticky web that left him tangled up.
“Oh no!” Renamon exclaimed as she looked up “Those are Dokugumon and Devidramon!” she gulped back her fear “The red eyes of a Devidramon are supposed to be the gateway to the gates of hell! And Dokugumon are feared for their deadly webs!”
“Indeed but my slaves are nothing compared to me” a cold voice said from the far end of the chamber, as the group looked on in horror a tall, dark figure entered the chamber, Pinkie and Rainbow both let out a scream of terror “Oh you recognise me?”
“N..Ni…Nightmare Moon!” Pinkie and Rainbow screamed together.
Kakashi however stepped forward and said “Regardless of who you think you are, I am Kakashi the copy ninja and I will not fail” he gave Nightmare Moon a content look before pulling out a kunai knife “So bring it on!”
“Renamon! Digivolve!” Rainbow Dash ordered
“Gotsumon, you too!” Pinkie said with a kind smile at her partner.
“Renamon digivolve to Kyubimon!” Renamon declared changing into Kyubimon, as soon as she changed, she charged forward and yelled
“Dragon Wheel!” her body formed a flaming blue dragon and slammed into one of the Devidramon.
“Gotsumon digivolve to Monochromon!” Gotsumon declared as the dinosaur digimon appeared “Volcanic Strike!” the attacks slammed into the Dokugumon.
“Dance, Sode no Shrirayuki!” Rukia declared as her zanpakuto was drawn and changed into its realesed form and Rukia charged another Devidramon. The Devidramon tried to slash at her with its claws but Rukia quickly flash stepped behind the monster and cut it right down the middle “Hmm that was eacy!” she quickly applied
Nightmare moon looked at the turtles who now were charging to their brothers’ aid but she screamed “Die!” a shot of lightening sparked towards the two turtles but they disappeared in a puff of smoke “It can’t be!”
“Oh yes it can!” a Ninjamon appeared beside the three digieggs and before Nightmare moon could do a thing, the Ninjamon grabbed them “Come on! Let’s get out of here!” Leonardo and Donatello grabbed their brothers, the group began to retreat with Kakashi and Rukia covering their retreat.
“I can’t believe we got them!” Rainbow said in joy as she grabbed one of the eggs and looked at it with joy “Our chances just got a lot better!” she couldn’t help but smiling, however that smile died as they got out outside, they were surrounded by the digimon they had seen earlier and Kakashi came flying out as he was driven back by Nightmare Moon “Oh no!”
“AHHHH!” one of the Ninjamon screamed as he was destroyed and all the other Ninjamon screamed in terror as the form of a Skullgreymon towered over them.
“It’s Skullgreymon!” Kyubimon screamed in terror “Fox tail inferno!” but at that moment she was struck down by a Ladydevimon and soon they were all laying on the rocky surface the fight draining out of them “This can’t be how it ends!”
Nightmare Moon laughed in glee as she looked down at the defeated fools who dared to defy her master “Now Skullgreymon!” she ordered “Finish them off!” The first Skullgreymon prepared to fire their shot but suddenly a streak of purple slammed into the skeleton dinosaur and the group looked up shocked “It can’t be!”
“Thou would seem surprised” a voice said from the ground and the group rose on shaky legs, there stood a man dressed in crimson armour and two strange things on his shoulders “If you seek a battle then seek one with me!”
“Who are you!?” Nightmare Moon snapped enraged
“Thou may call me, Checkmate!” Checkmate said as he pushed a button on his shoulder “Chess Piece change, Castle!” he changed into a solid man of stone that looked stronger than most “Now Spyro! My good fellow, strike with all the might thou possesses and help our friends!”
The purple dragon stopped flying round and said “Oh come on, Checkmate! We brought more help!” suddenly two of the Skullgreymon fell “Oh here they come!”
“Tail Hammer!” one voice yelled, the heavy attack came in so fast, striking a Ladydevimon before she could respond.
“Fire Rocket!” three shots of flames struck the Devidramon from the sky and the attacks were stronger than ever.
“Double Star!” a blade spinning faster than ever struck down a Tankmon with an unbelievable strike and hit another Tankmon.
“Spiking Strike!” the next attack aimed for Nightmare moon but narrowly missed and there was a Stingmon who recovered quickly.
“It can’t be!” the Ninjamon declared happily with tears streaming down their faces “It’s a miracle!” the joy spread to the others and the fight within them was renewed but their chances still weren’t great. The odds stacked against them, they fought hard but none could predict what would happen next!
