"FOX TAIL INFERNO!"
"MISSILE STORM!"
In a shower of explosions, the projectile attacks of Kyubimon and Pteramon collided with each other.
Kyubimon evaded just in time as the flying Dinosaur Digimon with the metallic armor swooped down and attacked her with his razor-sharp wings.
"Dammit!" she cursed. "He's fast!"
Pteramon chuckled. "You wanna try again? I have the whole day, you know? I can still hit you."
"And if he doesn't..." a gruff voice came from behind the nine-tailed fox. "I WILL!"
Kyubimon gasped in surprise as the massive stone fist of Golemon came slamming down into the pavement next to her. Only her natural agility saved her.
Meanwhile, Kitsumon was having her own troubles with Tankmon.
"FLARE BULLET!"
But her flaming attack got reflected from her enemy's metal hide.
"That didn't hurt," the ugly cyborg snickered. "But this will... MACHINE GUN ARMS!"
Rika gasped as Tankmon began firing the machine guns that were attached to his arms. She managed to evade a few, but then, she got caught in the fire.
Her sharp yelp made Kyubimon turn around. "Rika!"
"Forgot about me, foxy?" Golemon grumbled. "GOLEM PUNCH!"
Coming down with all of the rock Digimon's force, the fist hit Kyubimon on the side of her face. The impact made her fly backwards, into a lamppost.
Pteramon, who had observed it from above, chuckled. "Now to finish you... Beak Pierce!" And with his sharp beak outstretched, he descended upon the limping form of Kyubimon...
"GARGO PELLETS!"
Pteramon screeched as another volley of machine gun fire hit him and threw him off course. He slammed right into another lamppost, while Kyubimon managed to gather herself.
"Gargomon!"
The Beast Man Digimon smirked while brandishing his Gatling Guns. "Need a hand?"
Behind her, Jeri and Harmony appeared. "Kyubimon! Is Rika all right?"
The fox-Digimon gasped. "Rika! I almost forgot about her!"
As she turned around, she asked: "Gargomon, can you take care of those two? I gotta help Rika."
"No problem!" Gargomon saluted and faced the colossal form of Golemon, who was approaching.
While Kyubimon ran over to where Kitsumon was still fighting Tankmon, Harmony gasped and tugged on Jeri's sleeve. "Jeri... over there! Is that... Rika?"
Jeri saw the changed form of Rika as well. "The same thing happened to her too?" she murmured to herself.
"Any last words?" Tankmon asked while aiming his nose-cannon at the panting form of Kitsumon. "If not, prepare to die, stupid half-breed..."
"DRAGON WHEEL!"
The magical, dragon-shaped aura hit Tankmon right in the chest and threw him backwards.
"Kyubimon! Thanks, that was close!"
Kyubimon smirked. "Anything for my... little sister!"
"You..." Tankmon snarled and once again, took aim with his cannon. "Don't think this is over..."
"Oh yes," Kitsumon replied. "It is... FOX AURA!"
And suddenly, all around her, a flaming aura appeared, shaped exactly like a towering version of herself.
Tankmon was taken aback by that action. "Wh-what's that?"
Kitsumon drew back her hands. "FLARE BULLET!"
And while she threw her flaming attack, the gigantic aura turned it even bigger, creating an attack powerful enough to pierce the metal hide of her enemy.
"Grrraaaaarrrggh..." Tankmon growled as he dissolved into data.
Meanwhile, Golemon and Pteramon were keeping Gargomon busy.
"I really don't know how long I can keep this up..." he mumbled while firing barrage after barrage at his two enemies. But while the massive form of Golemon didn't even flinch under his assault, Pteramon was far too nimble to be even hit.
"I can't let them win," Jeri exclaimed. "Harmony, I'm going to help them."
"How?" her friend asked. "I'm sorry to bring this up now, Jeri, but you do not have a Digimon partner."
"I don't need one, watch me! JERI HYBRID DIGIVOLVE TO... CUBMON!"
And Harmony could only stare while Jeri turned into a humanoid lion cub and attacked the back of Golemon with raised paws.
"Leo Scratch!"
But as her claws skidded along the stone skin of Golemon, she cried out in pain.
Golemon stopped and looked over his shoulder. "Oh? Did something prick me? Must've been some flea..."
He smirked. "CRIMSON CURSE!"
And all of a sudden, super-heated gases erupted out of the volcanic stacks on his back. Cubmon coughed and yelped, as the hot gas singed her fur.
She fell to the ground and Golemon turned around, scooping her up with his massive fist. "No, it was just a lil' kitty... Heh, they say cats have nine lives. Does that also apply for lions? Well, we just have to find out, right?" And he raised Jeri high above his head, to slam her down onto the ground.
"No! Jeri!" Harmony yelled.
"Dang!" Gargomon cursed and turned around to help her, but got stopped by Pteramon, who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Oh no, you don't!" the flying Dinosaur said.
Cubmon struggled against Golemon's grasp and coughed. "Harmony, please... help me!"
"No!" Harmony shouted. "JERI!"
And then, her own D-Power began glowing.
Golemon stopped himself. "What the...?"
Harmony was floating above the ground, glowing like an evolving Digimon.
"HARMONY HYBRID DIGIVOLVE TO... DACHSMON!"
Dachsmon dropped down to the ground. Her skin was covered with short, brown fur, and her short snout was framed by two floppy ears. She was wearing similar pants to Gargomon, but her upper body was covered with an olive green shirt and some sort of leathery breastplate. Her feet were bare, and a thin, waggy tail was sticking out of her pants.
Out of instinct, Dachsmon reacted and raised her weapon: A crossbow that wasn't loaded with bolts, but with some sort of boomerang-like blade.
"Air Cutter!"
With a whooshing sound, the blade flew through the air, hit the stone arm of the Golemon and left a gaping crack in it, forcing him to let go of Cubmon.
Cubmon swiftly landed next to him and reacted instantly. "Propeller Throw!"
With a power that no one would have ever imagined to be inside such a small Digimon, she twirled the massive Digimon around like she did with Impmon, and hurled him upwards.
"Dachsmon, finish him off!"
And Harmony obeyed. She crouched down, pushed herself off the ground with her legs and hit Golemon with her whole body. "RUSH TACKLE!"
This last attack was enough. Golemon broke apart into data, which was absorbed by the two Hybrid girls.
Pteramon, seeing that both of his companions were defeated, gulped. "M-maybe I should go..." he said and turned around to fly away.
"Not so fast, buddy!" Gargomon growled and, imitating his Tamer, pushed himself off the ground.
"BUNNY PUMMEL!" His two metal weapons were slammed down onto the flying Digimon's head and defeated him as well.
Kitsumon and Kyubimon smiled as they saw how their friends had defeated the other two enemies. They were still surprised when they looked at Cubmon and Dachsmon, though...
Rika walked towards them. "Jeri... Harmony... you too?"
Cubmon giggled. "Wow, and here I thought I was something special."
Harmony looked down at herself. "This is new... but at the same time, feels strangely natural."
"I don't know about you, but I like to suspect that this has to do with the fact that all of you have a Digimon parent..."
"Maybe..." Rika mumbled. Okay, that would be an explanation for her and the other's sudden ability to digivolve, but... she still didn't know the answer for her biggest question: How did the whole world get messed up like this?
Suddenly, she gasped as she remembered something. "DemiDevimon!"
She turned around to face the tree in which the little villain had been hanging. But, he was gone.
"He must have fled when he realized that his pals were done for," Kyubimon realized. "Well, too bad... I would've loved to ask him a few questions."
----
Already quite a distance away from their location, DemiDevimo was flying over the city.
"Curses!" he muttered. "They already found out how to digivolve... Yamacus won't be pleased by this turn of events..."
He didn't know it, but somewhere, in some dark place, two shimmering pairs of eyes were observing every single of his movements.
"He has failed," a voice exclaimed. "Should we still keep an eye on him?"
"We have to," a second voice replied. "It was only his first encounter with the children... and while he still has a long way to go, he IS the Third One."
"Yes, we must be patient," the first voice said. "We'll stay in hiding until the right time comes... then we reveal ourselves to him."
