"Ugh..... wha-what hit me?" Thrill Ride groaned in discomfort, grabbing his head as his vision began to clear up. "What the...?" As Thrill Ride's vision had finally lost its foggiest, he examines his surroundings. He was in what looked to be a containment cell, but the door was open. Plus, the building looked like it had been abandoned for years. "Where... am I?" Thrill Ride asked to himself. "Thrill Ride? Are you here?" "Twilight?" Thrill Ride asked, surprised to hear the familiar voice. "Twilight! Where are you?" Luckily, Twilight and the others made their arrived, the girls then running towards him. "Thril Ride! Thank goodness!" Rarity sighed in relief. "Are you hurt?" "I'm fine." Thrill Ride replied. "You guys have any idea where we are?" "I wish I knew." Sunset answered. "This place gives me the heebie-jeebies!" Pinkie Pie spoke with a shudder. "Let's hope we can find away our of this place!" Thril Ride said as he and the other girls began to walk down the dark corridor. "Hey! Over here!" Pinkie spoke, running towards a ladder. "Aw yeah! Good eye, Pinkie!" Rainbow cheered as the others run to the ladder. "Maybe that could be the exit." Sunset stated as she ascend up a ladder. The others then followed suit, but by the time they made it to the top, they see a massive empty courtyard. And before them was a massive building with a huge set of doors. “Do you think that’s the exit?” Fluttershy asked with hesitation. “Whoever made this building, ah doubt they've made those doors just for show.” Applejack answered back with a hint of worry. "In which case, we better tread carefully." Thrill Ride said as he rushed towards the doors, and began to push with Applejack and Sunset helping out. Once the doors were opened, the gang made their way inside. The area that they found themselves in appeared to be what looked like the interior of a temple. The pews appeared to be made of chiseled rock, the walls were adorned with glowing crystals as big as man's forearm, and the there were stringed glass windows that showed strange creatures unlike anything they have ever seen. Though sadly, this was not the exit they were looking for. "Aw man!" Rainbow Dash complained. "So not the exit." "Not quite!" Thrill Ride said while pointing something. "Behind the altar!" The gang see a pair of doors much like the ones they've just pass through. "Maybe that's our ticket out of here!" "Don't count on it!" Suddenly, a shadow descended over the open room, followed by a creature crashing with enough strength to shake the whole place. The gang gasped in a mix of shock and terror they see what has crashed in front of them. Before them stood a massive muscular troll-like creature with tarnish brown skin with a lighter tanned front. It had spikes on various parts of its body, it had a long bulbous nose, and it tanned had light tan lines and it's arms, legs, and face. The corners of it's mouth was jagged and it's eyes were an orange color. "Eheheheh! Looks like I've found a bunch of humans!" The troll spoke with a grin. "What in tarnation?!" Applejack asked out in disbelief. "Who or what the actual Hell are you?!" Thrill Ride asked towards the troll. Digimon Analyzer Name: Gigasmon Level: Hybrid (Ultimate Equivalent) Type: Mineral Attribute: Variable, Free Gigasmon! A troll-like Digimon with immense physical strength and a short temper. His Quagmire Twister attack will make your head spin, while his Tectonic Slam will definitely leave you on shakey ground! "I am Gigasmon! And you, are my new punching bags!" The troll named Gigasmon said, popping his knuckles while he chortle wickedly. "Good luck with that, big nose!" Rainbow Dash said as she placed a hand to her neck, but gasps in shock as she looks down to see her necklace was gone. "Crap! My geode! Its gone!" "Uh... mines gone too!" Pinkie Pie stated, noticing her necklace was gone as well. The others noticed that theirs were missing too, while Average Joe looked in confusion. "You mean those necklaces you guys had?" Thrill Ride asked with confusion while Gigasmon grinned wickedly. "You're worried about a few pieces of jewelry?" Gigasmon taunted with a chortle. "Girls and their accessories." "Don't go mockin' us, muscle head!" Applejack shot back with her fists tightened, ready to fight. "We ain't as defenseless as you think!" "Oh yeah?" Gigasmon replied before outstretching his arms with his fists clenched. "Quagmire Twister!" Suddenly, Gigasmon began spinning around rapidly into a tornado while sensing Applejack crashing into a nearby wall. "Applejack!" Rarity called out in worry as Sunset went to help her while Gigasmon stopped spinning. "Heheheh! Not so tough now, are you?" Gigasmon chuckled. "Shockwave!" An energy blast suddenly struck at Gigasmon, knocking him off his feet. The gang looked on in surprise as a muscular humanoid lion with a yellow mane, a tanned body, and a pair of baggy black pants. In his hands he held a sword. "William's Arrow!" A series of arrows fired at Gigasmon's back, seeing what looked like a living scarecrow holding a bow and arrow and a crow mounted on its shoulder. "A buff furry and a living scarecrow?" Pinkie Pie asked with shock. "What next?" "This!" Gigasmon replied as he jumped up. "Tectonic Slam!" Gigasmon cried out, his fists tightening up as he descended towards the anthro lion and living scarecrow. But then suddenly, another figure appeared. This one resembling a humanoid composed of metal that was mostly green with hints of red and yellow, he had two mirror-like shields and a mirror on its head. The only facial feature the mirror man had was a pair of red lips. "Dark Reflection!" The mirror man cried out as he raised the mirror shield on his right arm, using Gigasmon's reflection to reflect an attack. This sent Gigasmon crashing into a nearby wall while the gang were taken aback. "Whoa!" Sunset muttered in awe. "Quick! This way!" The anthro lion spoke as he and the scarecrow motion towards a doorway. The gang, not wanting to stay another minute, ran through the doorway with the anthro lion, living scarecrow and mirror man following soon after. Once everyone was inside, a series of bars appeared to seal the doorway. "Thank God!" Thrill Ride spoke with a sigh of relief. "We're safe. For now at least." "Incredible." The mirror man spoke with intrigue as he looks to the gang. "Human pubescent’s. In the Digital World." "Wait! Digital World?" Twilight asked with surprise. "Thanks for helping us, by the way." Applejack thanked the three figured. "Who are you guys, anyway?" Sunset asked the three. Digimon Analyzer Name: Leomon Level: Champion Type: Animal, Beast Humanoid, Beastkin Attribute: Vaccine Leomon, a beastman Digimon with a strong sense of justice. His Fist of the Beast King and Lion Sword attacks makes those who oppose him tremble in fear. Name: Nohemon Level: Armor Type: Puppet Attribute: Virus, Free Nohemon, a Digimon with the form of a scarecrow, but the crow on its right arm is its true body. His William's Arrow attack is evidence of his sharpshooting capabilities. Name: Mercurymon Level: Hybrid (Champion Equivalent) Type: Mutant Attribute: Variable, Free Mercurymon, a metallic Digimon whose body is comprised of mirrors. He is as intelligent as he is aristocratic. His Dark Reflection and Offset Reflector attacks are a painful reminder that vanity can be deadly. "Excuse us..." Thrill Ride replied, pinching the bridge of his nose out of slight frustration. "But could you tell us where we are? One minute we were at our school, and now we get sucked into this place?!" "I sense confusion." Leomon replied with a nod, "Understandable. Tell me. Care to explain how you've got here?" "Well...." Sunset replied, scratching her chin. "All I can remember was our phones acting rather funny, they were buzzing like mad while a strange symbol was displayed on them." "Like this one!" Pinkie chimed in, matching the others look to see that the girl was pointing to a symbol on a nearby wall, the exact same one that the gang saw on their phones. Mercurymon, Leomon, and Nohenon were surprised by this reveal. "The Destiny Sign!" Leomon gasped in shock. "So the legend is true!" Nohemon muttered out of sheer shock. "Destiny Sign?" Twilight repeated. "What legend?" Sunset asked with confusion. "Alow me to elaborate." Mercurymon replied before extending his mirror shield, the surface of it flashes briefly before it projected scenes like a TV screen. -inside the mirror- The first scene showed a barren wasteland with craggy ground, dead trees, and during the night. In the age of ancients, the land was barren and fleeting. Obscured in shadows. A land of wastelands, disparity, and wicked Digimon. A series of silhouettes of various figures with devilish apperceive and glowing red eyes being the only visible feature was shown. Then a more massive silhouette appeared behind them. This one being that of a creature with long arms, six massive wings that were feathered, razor sharp claws, and a single red light visible in the middle of its head. And among one of them was their leader, Dexmon. His might new no boundaries, it was the personification of death and destruction. The scene transitions to a humanoid silhouette with a pair of glowing yellow eyes being and a glowing red hexagon visible on its midsection. But then, A mysterious champion named NEO stepped forward to bring peace to the Digital World. Four orbs of various colors then manifested, surrounding Neo. With a sense of justice and valor, he rallied up 4 mighty warriors to aid him in his quest to end Dexmon’s reign. The scene changes to a background comprised of black and purple fog, and then appeared what looked like a robotic grim reaper wielding a scythe with a blade composed of red energy. Metalphantomon, the Harbinger of the Dead. The scene transitions to a clear sunny sky. Along with a four winged bird covered din golden feathers, brown underbelly, the top of its head being covered in a golden metal mask with purple tipped light orange feathers emerging on the back of its head, cerulean eyes piercing through the eye holes, trailing peacock-esque tail feathers that were a mix of yellow and red, and a golden ringlets adorning it's legs. Hououmon, the Wings of Life. The scene change again, this time forming a kingdom made of marble and gold that stood upon a mass of clouds. And in front of it was a what looked like an Eastern dragon with a gray face mask adorned with horns and decorated in red accents, it's body being a golden yellow in color with a white underbelly and red symbols on its pecs, it's lacked any legs, it had six wings on its back, a red gauntlet on its left arm with a blue gauntlets on its right arm, and a golden ring around its left bicep. Goldramon, the Heavenly Incandescence. The scene cuts to a hellish background, where a new figure was seen standing. This one being a gray skinned humanoid long gangl arms capped with sharp claws, a golden mask with six eyes visible, a pair of red tattered wings on its back, and wearing only black leather pants with boot capped with metal spikes. And NeoDevimon, the Betrayer of Demons. The scene cuts to NEO and the four figures opposing the giant silhouette that was Dexmon and his army. With his four champions at his aid, NEO challenged Dexmon. NEO dashed towards Dexmon while Goldramon emits a bright glow, causing Dexmon to flinch from the intensity. Goldramon’s heavenly light diminished Dexmon's power. Hououmon loomed over a large castle that appeared to have been carved from obsidian, emitting a mighty caw as it unleashed a barrage of fireballs at the structure with a flap of its wings. Hououmon weaved great firestorms to burn away the foundations of Dexmon’s empire. MetalPhantomon was seen looming over the army of demonic Digimon with his scythe in hand before singing it, sending a wave of red energy at the army. The demonic Digimon disintegrating instantly upon being hit. MetalPhantomon unleashed a miasma of death and pestilence. NeoDevimon is then seen looming over the fallen body of the now deceased Dexmon, holding what appeared to be a purple flame comprised of data. And NeoDevimon betrayed his own. After a grueling battle, Dexmon was bested, and his reign was no more. NeoDevimon crushed the purple Dara flame in his hand before emitting an eerie high pitched shriek before the scene faded to black. The scene then fades in to show NEO laying on the ground with his four champions watching over him, MetalPhantomon holding NEO's hand. But the cost of victory was severely high, for NEO was mortally wounded from the conflict. And he would later perish. NEO then closed his eyes before the hexagon glowed a multicolored light, causing four orbs of light to levitate upwards while the four Digimon watched with surprise as NEO faded away. However, legends say that upon his final hour, NEO had split himself into eight relics, each one possessing a fraction of his power. And his four champions were tasked in hiding them so that they could not fall into the wrong hands. The scene cuts to a an areal view lush green forest, where a large fortress was scene. When the Digital World is threatened, only then will they appear. But they will only appear to eight warrior chosen to bear their might. The scene fades to white, with the Destiny Sign visible. Eight warriors from a distant land, bearing the Destiny Sign. -outside the mirror- Mercurymon's mirror shield flashed to reveal the silvery surface of a regular mirror before he lowering the shield. "In the ancient legend it is stated that one day the bearers of the relics will vanquish the threat and restore peace to the Digital World." The human group were truly baffled by what they were told from Mercurymon. "No way." Thrill Ride muttered, not sure what to believe. "So... you mean that we've been chosen... to save the world?" "Yes, indeed." Mercurymon replied. "The Destiny Sign brands those chosen to wield the remnants of NEO's power." "I know that this may all seem so sudden," Leomon chimed in with a soft look to the gang. "But you have been tasked with a hefty burden." The girls looked to each other, still surprised at what they were told. "Well," Sunset Shimmer started, "it wouldn't be the first time we've saved the day." Leomon, Mercurymon, Nohemon, and even Thrill Ride looked to the seven girls. "What are you talking about?" Thrill Ride asked with an eyebrow cocked up in confusion. "Uh.... well..." Twilight looked to the sided, rubbing her arm. "You wouldn't believe us if we told you." "We're chosen to save a world composed of data from an unknown threat." Thrill Ride retorted with a shrug. "What could be wielder than that." "Well, buckle up because this story is quite a long one." Sunset responded before clearing her throat, ready to explain. (One long explanation later) "And that's about it." Sunset finished, earning a collective look of shock from Thrill Ride and the three Digimon. "Oh... my... God!" Thrill Ride spoke, his eyes wide in disbelief. "You need a minute, dear?" Rarity asked, giggling in amusement at Thrill Ride's reaction. "No, I'm good." Thrill Ride responder while scratching his head. "Intriguing. Truly astonishing." Mercurymon spoke, scratching his chin with intrigue in his voice. "Humans capable of magic. This day has truly gotten alot more fascinating." "So you say that upon arrival, these geodes that granted you your power have been missing?" Leomon asked the girls. "Apparently so." Applejack nodded in response. "Either they must have fell off, or somebody robbed them from us while we had our guards down." "Well, I'm sure you'll find them eventually." Nohemon replied with a smile. "For now though, we better focus on getting the Hell out of here." Thrill Ride said, and the others nodded in agreement before they kept walking. As the gang traversed, the humans looked around. So far, the only hostile they came across was Gigasmon, so hopefully that was the only threat they had to worry about. "What even is this place?" Fluttershy asked, observing her surroundings. "Stronghold Fortress." Leomon responded. "An ancient prison that was built roughly 5 millennia ago." "M-Millennia?!" Twilight asked out in disbelief. "You mean this place was built 5000 years ago?! That's not possible!" "Time in the Digital World works differently then in the human world." Mercurymon replied. "Crap! School must have ended by now!" Thrill Ride realized in fear. "Oh God, my parents are so going to bust me!" "There's a... safety feature, I guess you could call it, for the calls that the Destiny Sign sends out." Mercurymon spoke, making the humans look to the mirror Digimon. "When you entered our realm, a time distortion between the worlds was activated, making it so that time in the Human World is practically in a standstill." "In simple terms, time in your world is frozen when you guys entered." Nohemon chimed in, alleviating any worries the humans had. Well, somewhat. "How long have you guys been here?" Rainbow Dash asked the three Digimon. "Not too long. Two days." Leomon replied. "This place has been abandoned for a long while, so we came to this place in the hopes of finding materials and essentials." "For what?" Applejack asked. "You see, our world is at war at the moment." Leomon responded. "Ever since the Eight Dark Lords appeared, our world has been conflict." "We are actually members of a renegade troop." Nohemon chimed in and motions to Leomon. "Leomon here is the commander of the group. I am the sniper and weapons specialist." "And I serve as the intelligence gathering unit." Mercurymon replied with a hint of pride. "It pays to have a mind a sharp as my own." After some walking, the group had stumbled across two different staircases. One going up and another down. "So, which way should we go?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We go upwards." Leomon responded. "The downward stairway leads back to the temple." "Trust us. We've explored this place enough to know the layout." Nohemon said to the kids. "Upwards it is, then." Thrill Ride said and began walking. But when took a step on the stairs, he suddenly stopped. "Oh shit! Get out of the way!" Thrill Ride stepped aside. The others were confused, but then gasped upon seeing a large ball rolling down the stairs and heading towards them. Luckily the evaded as the ball destroying. "Oh thank goodness!" Rarity said in relief, holding her chest and breathing heavily. "I almost had a heart attack!" A pained groan was heard, making the others jump in shock. "Oh crap!" Thrill Ride said as he ran through the hole, finding a moldy and wet room. But Thrill Ride gasped when he saw what looked like a knight. The knight was lying down on what seemed rubble from the destroyed roof. The knight must have been smashed through the roof. "Oh dear God!" Thrill Ride spoke out in concern as he ran to the knight. "Guys! Get in here!" "What is it?" Susnet cried out as she and the others entered, gasping on horror at sewing the injured knight. "Knightmon!" Leomon gasped in concern as he and Nohemon approached the knight. "Knightmon, what happened?" The figure named Knighton groaned in blistering agony as he looks to Leomon. "L-Leomon..." Knightmon spoke weakly. "Easy, Knightmon!" Nohenon said with concern. "What happened?" "Gigasmon... he was... he proved to be more than a match for me..." Knightmon groaned out before looking to the human gang. "H-Humans?" "Yes!" Leomon responded. "These children are..." "The chosen ones..." Knightmon spoke, still grunting in pain with some degree of relief. "So the legend is true." "This is bad!" Nohemon said before looking to Mercurymon. "Mercurymon! Contact the troops! He needs medical care!" "N-No need... I'm beyond saving...." Knightmon replied before looking to the humans. "Children... come close." Then gang did so with looks of concern with looks of worry for Knightmon visible. "Ah... you really are the ones destined... to save the Digital World." Knightmon replied with a sigh of content. "Under other conditions this would have been an honor, but alas, my time has come. But at least I was able to fulfill my duty." "Duty?" Leomon asked, "What do you mean?" "The previous night, I was visited by the Four Lords in a dream." Knightmon explained. Flashback In Knightmon's dream, he is seen standing on opposite of a mass of clouds. And before him stood Goldramon, MetalPhantomon, Hououmon, and NeoDevimon. "They granted me a task, to aid the chosen warriors destined to save the Digital World." The four extended their hands, and before Knightmon appeared a golden key. "Their order was this: Guide the chosen warriors to the relics. The ones that will grant them the power to restore order and peace." Knightmon, with a look of determination, accepted the request and took the key, genuflecting to the four Digimon. End Flashback "At last, I have successfully fulfilled my task." Knightmon then extended his hand to the gang, revealing the key bestowed upon him by the four lords. "This key... it will help you get to the relics. They are hidden in the courtyard." The humans looked to each other, unsure what to think. But Sunset Shimmer looked to Knightmon and accepted the key. "Thank you, Knightmon." Sunset Shimmer replied with a sad smile. “Don’t thank me yet, fair maiden." Knightmon responded. "Gigasmon may be powerful, but the road ahead of you is even more perilous." Knightmon examines the seven girls. "But I can sense you fair maidens have stared dare in the fave before." "You betcha!" Pinkie Pie responded with a nod. "We've dealt with dangerous situations before." Rainbow Dash said in a boastful manner. "So I see." Knightmon said, chuckling before coughing a bit. "Knightmon!" Mercurymon said in concern for his knightly comrade. "Worry not... my final hour is upon me..." Knightmon spoke weakly before he began to lose color saturation and opacity while an egg-shaped orb of light appeared in his midsection, "I bid you all farewell.... and please.... save the Digital world..." Everyone watched as Knightmon vanished completely as the egg-shaped ball of light floated upwards. "Knightmon..." Leomon spoke out in grief as Nohemon removed his hat in a mournful manner. Rarity was tearing up while Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were hugging one another out of sadness. "Dammit." Thrill Ride sighed melancholically as Sunset looked to the key passed down from Knightmon. After mourning the loss of Knightmon, the crew were back out in the courtyard of the temple where Gigasmon was earlier. "Ok, so where do we start looking?" Rainbow Dash asked as she looked around. "There must be a chest or a vault somewhere." "I have no clue." Sunset pondered as the gang began to scatter around, hoping to find a keyhole so where. But when Sunset got close to a column, the key began to glow before it levitate out of her hand. "What the...?" Sunset stuttered in shock as a keyhole manifested on column. "Guys! I think I've found it!" The others ran to the column, and they sas the key turn into yellow energy before being sucked into the keyhole. And with that, a rectangle square of light shined on the column before vanishing. Inside were what appeared to be eight hexagonal-shaped objects about as big as a half dollar and appeared to be made of crystal with a golden metal trim, each one possessing a hexagon that had a unique symbol. The first was bright red and bore with a deep crimson colored symbol depicting a serpentine dragon coiled around a sword. The second was moderate orange and bore a brown colored symbol depicting a wolf’s head overlooking a mountain range. The third was bright yellow and bore a gray colored symbol depicting a cog wheel with a brain in the middle. The fourth was forest green and had a lime green colored symbol depicting a butterfly above a lotus flower. The fifth was cyan with a white colored symbol depicting a dove with a star in its talons. The sixth was electric blue and had a turquoise colored symbol depicting a dolphin enveloped in a teardrop. The seventh was violet and had a magenta colored symbol depicting a crescent moon with a ghost hovering near it. And the eight was pastel pink with a raspberry colored symbol depicting a four-pointed star with angelic wings on the sides. "The relics!" Leomon gasped in awe. "We've found them!" Suddenly, a familiar buzzing sound was heard. Sunset and her friends fished out there phones, the same symbol displayed on the screens. "This is your fate." A voice spoke from the phones before they began hovering out of their hands. Then the hexagonal shaped items then were sucked into them before a multicolored light enveloped the area, among everyone shield heir eyes. Once the light fade, they all uncover their eyes to see eight strange devices of varying colors. They were each egg shaped, had a square screen within the middle surrounded by gold metallic ring, and three buttons located at the bottom; the center being oval shaped with the right and left buttons were triangular shaped. Each one floated to their respective user. Sunset's was mainly purple with red and yellow streaks, Twilight's was bright yellow with purple and pink zigzag lines, Pinkie's was bright magenta with bright rosey pink polka-dots, Applejack's was a bright orange with brown flecks, Rarity's was ocean blue with white waves lines, Rainbow Dash's was bright cyan with metallic gray spirals, Flutterhsy's was bright green with yellow and pink floral patterns, and Thrill Red's was deep red with platinum dandelion yellow flame patterns. "Whoa! Awesome!" Rainbow Dash muttered in amazement. "But how do we use them, is the question?" Twilight asked with a perplexed expression look as she examined her device. "Too band you won't find out!" A familiar voice called out as Gigasmon landed near them. "Gigasmon!" Leomon growled angrily at the troll-like beast before drawing his sword. "You will pay for what you've done to our comrade!" "Cry me a river, hairball!" Gigasmon shot back before stomping the ground, causing the ground to shake violently while knocking the gang off their feet. "Nohemon!" Mercurymon spoke to the scarecrow-like Digimon. "Right!" Nohemon said, pulling out his bow and arrow. "William's Arrow!" Nohemon cried out before shooting arrows at Mercurymon, who absorbed the arrows with one of his shield. "Offset Reflector!" Mercurymon cried our before firing the arrows from the other shield at Gigasmon, the arrows hitting Gigasmon square in the face. But this only seemed to agitate Gigasmon. "Quagmire Twister!" Gigsamon roared out before spinning rapidly and gunning towards Mercurymon, the mirror Digimon raising his shield. "Dark Reflection!" Mercurymon exclaimed, sending the reflection of Gigasmon's attack at him, the two colliding and knocking the original Gigasmon back. Meanwhile the human gang were hiding someplace safe. "Ugh... I wish I knew how these stupid things worked!" Rainbow Dash declares as she examined her device. "That way I'd take out that big-nosed freak." "There must be something put there we can use!" Sunset muttered, desperately looking around for a weapon. "Lion Sword!" Leomon roared out as he slashed at Gigasmon with his sword, but Gigasmon growled in annoyance before punching him away. "Time to end this!" Gigasmon declared before leaping upwards. "Tectonic Slam!" Gigasmon cried out as he slammed his fists into the ground upon landing, causing the ground to shake violently and break apart. "Oh crap!" Thrill Ride called out in worry as the ground beneath them broke apart, causing everyone to fall into what looked to be a large dungeon area. "Oooohh...." Pinkie Pie groaned in pain as she slowly got up and rubbed her bottom. "My tooshie!" "Everyone alright?" Average Joe asked his friends. "We're good..." Rainbow Dash replied. "Ugh... that’s going to hurt tomorrow!" Twilight groaned, but then she saw Gigasmon was approaching her. "Twilight!" Thrill Ride cried out to Twilight. But then his device began beeping profusely. Thrill Ride fished out his device and lulled at it puzzlingly before a glimmer of light appeared on his peripheral vision. Thrill Ride turned to see what looked like a sword. The blade was engraved with strange golden symbols while the handle resembled that of a metallic orange dragon head. Leomon took notice of the strange sword, and was stunned. "That sword! Is that...?" "Sweet!" Thrill Ride ran over to grab it, but when he got close enough, his devices belittled a high pitched sound as the sword emitted a bright crimson glow. Gigasmon was about to strike Twilight, but he looked to the direction of the red glow with a surprised expression. The sword then turned into crimson energy, surprising everyone present before it was absorbed into the device. Once every last bit of it was absorbed, the device's screen showed the symbol the familiar red of a serpentine dragon coiled around a sword. //DigiRemnant Acquired.// a computerized voice echoed from the device before Thrill Ride was engulfed by an intense red glow as he floated several feet off the ground. "DIGIREMNANT SYNCHRONIZE, NEO EVOLUTION!" A red hexagon seal with the same symbol appeared beneath Thrill Ride as he was then engulfed in a column of fire. Eventually, the flame column vanished to reveal a new figure taking Thrill Ride's place. It was a knight-like figure similar to Knightmon, albeit with a few differences. For one, his armor coloring was comorised of red, yellow, and orange and it wasn't a bulky compared to Knightmon's armor. His helmet had a draconic look to it, his eyes were amber gold, and his hair that was slightly longer as well as being bright orange in color. His gauntlets were shaped like dragon heads and his shoulder guards resembled shields He reached for his back and drew out a sword that looked similar to the sword he obtained, only now the blade was longer and broader while the orange dragon head part was gone and replaced with a scarlet cross guard shaped like a dragon's wings, and the handle is shaped like a dragon's tail. The edge was now a golden yellow in color while the golden symbols on the blade's base were replaced with a single red symbol resembling a streak of fire. FLAMEKNIGHTMON! Digimon Analyzer Name: FlameKnightmon Level: Unidentified Type: Flame, Warrior Attribute: Vaccine, Free FlameKnightmon! A unique and relatively new Digimon whose will and might knows no boundaries! His attacks are dedicated to the Greymon-species and are capable of burning any evil that crosses his line of sight to ashes! "What's this?!" Gigasmon asked incredulously while the others watched on in awe. "Oh... my!" Fluttershy uttered in a whisper. "So glorious!" Rarity spoke in amazement. "So this is the power of the of the relics." Leomon uttered, just as awestruck as the others. “You killed Knightmon, and I am most definitely not going to let you claim another innocent life!" FlameKnightmon drew his sword, the blade encased in brilliant flame. "Prepare to bathe in the flames of Hell!" "Bring it, Renaissance reject!" Gigasmon barked back before jumping up to perform another Tectonic Slam attack. But BurnKnightmon jumps upwards and held his sword upwards. "Smoldering Slasher!" FlameKnightmon cried out before swinging his sword downwards to send a crescent if fire at Gigasmon. The attack sent the troll-like Digimon falling. And Gigisamom did fall! Hard! "Awesome!" Rainbow Dash declared, cheering FlameKnightmon on. "Kick his ugly butt!" "With pleasure!" FlameKnightmon declared as he landed, his sword encased in flames. "Brimstone Binds!" FlameKnightmon stabbed the blade of his sword into the ground, causing a pool of molten magma to form underneath Gigasmon while also ensuring him in binds made of fire. "Oh no! Nonono!" Gigasmon uttered, panic setting in as he looks to BurnKnightmon. "Please! Have mercy! I'm begging you!" "Too late for that!" FlameKnight declared as his word emitted a bright red glow. "Wrath Of The Fallen Greymon!" And with a single thrust, FlameKnight fired a blast of crimson energy shaped like a dragon at Gigasmon while the troll-like Digimon roared put in pure agony. "This... can't.... be...!" Gigasmon declared as he slowly lost monochrome in color as he began to lose tangibility. "NOOOOOOOOOOooooooo!!!" And just like that, Gigasmon had vanished, leaving an egg-shaped ball of light before it flew upwards, the same fate that befell upon Knightmon. "And like a phoenix, from the ashes you shall be reborn anew." FlameKnightmon declared, placing his sword downward with his head bowed in a gesture of supplication before reverting back to Thrill Ride in a flash of red light. The seven girls cheered and celebrated Thrill Ride's victory while Nohemon, Leomon, and Mercurymon were astonished. "Incredible." Leomon muttered in shock. "So that's what the relics are capable of." Nohemon said, just as shocked as his two friends. "Remarkable. Truly astonishing." Mercurymon said, rubbing his chin with intrigue. "A human becoming a Digimon." "How is that even possible?" Nohemon asked with a puzzled expression. "Humans shouldn't be able to Digivolve." "I'll guess we'll know as tine progresses." Leomon replied before he opened the heavy doors of the temple. "For now though, I think it's time to regroup." "Indubitably." Mercurymon agreed as he followed Leomon. "Come." Nohemon said to the human gang. "We're leaving." The group followed without any room to argue, but when the walked out, they saw nothing but mountains in all directions. No road, no exit, just a cliff. "Uh..." Rainbow stated with wide eyes, "How are we gonn..." Before Rainbow could finish, the sound of wings flapping was heard, and suddenly a large bird-like creature landed before them. It a dark plumage, three legs, and gold mountings on its wings with a large center point and prongs. The tips of its wings are purple while its talons are red. It has a gold mask with a long red crest, a red beak, purple feathered neck, and white ruff that is braided into a single rope that dangles freely with a bell to each side of it as well. "Whoa!" Thrill Ride muttered in shock upon seeing the enormous bird. "Crowmon." Leomon said with a soft smile. "Sorry if we alerted you." "No need, Leomon." Crowmon spoke in a feminine voice before she looks to the humans. "Wait! Humans? How..." "We'll explain on the way back to base." Leomon replied as he, Mercurymon, and Nohemon hopped onto Crowmon's back. The human kids looked at eachother before hopping onto Crowmon's back as well while making sure to hold on tight. "So, where is your base?" asked Sunset. "In Claymore Burg." Leomon answered. "One of Avalon's safest havens." "Avalon?!" Twilight asked with eyes widenened in surprise. "The Avalon from Arthurian legend?!" "Well explain on the way!" Leomon replied before Crowmon took off into the air, and everyone riding on her back held on for dear life.
