Cubmon gulped when she looked at the giant form of Belphemon floating over the destroyed mountaintop. "Well, I must say... he IS big!"
"If we are going stop Yamaki from using that thing, we have to take care of it before the other Demon Lords arrive," Dachsmon pointed out.
They were all crouching behind some bushes in the woods near Yamacus' excavation camp... and also near his army.
"Well, we always could go Mega," Guilmon said. "And I guess we will be able with most of Yamacus' troops even as Ultimates... but I can't really say if we can manage to defeat the Demon Lords."
"Let's just hope that the RPG Maker has created new Ultimate Forms for us," BlueCeratomon grumbled.
"By itself or with your cousin's help?" Kitsumon frowned.
"I already told you, Rika: Kei isn't my cousin! And do you really think a young girl like her will know how to handle such a situation?"
"But she was," Kitsumon pointed out. "And he... I mean, she's much mature than you would think."
At least that was what she was hoping. There was always the chance that Kei's mind had regressed alongside with her...
"So, what do we do first?" Terriermon asked.
"I suppose we take care of Belphemon first," Renamon said. "Did you see that device strapped to his body? I guess that's how Yamacus is controlling him. If we just destroy that thing..."
"Great thinking, Renamon!" Kitsumon groaned. "And then we risk having a powerful Demon Lord going out of control. Why do you think he should be reasonable once he's freed from Yamacus' control? His pals certainly don't seem like a reasonable bunch, so why should he be?"
"You have a point there..." Renamon admitted.
"Aaaaah, I'm sick of waiting!" Guilmon whined. "Can't we just go up there and get Yamaki? We can take care of Belphemon later."
"I wish it was that easy," Dachsmon sighed.
"Besides, I think someone else is already taking care of our Belphemon problem," Cubmon suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" BlueCeratomon frowned.
Cubmon gestured up to where Belphemon was floating. "See that shining light over there? Isn't that Ai?"
Dachsmon gasped. "It is Ai! My god, what's she doing up there?"
"And since when does she look like this?" Guilmon wondered.
"Ai, don't do that!" Impmon pleaded while his young Tamer was carrying through the air. "That's too dangerous!"
"You wanted to come along, and I took you with me," Ai pouted. "But I don't want to get back. I don't want to see anyone imprisoned anymore. Not myself, not Magnadramon, and not that poor guy over there! Besides, I somehow feel that he's... he's a friend of Betamon and the others."
"Ai, that amphibian KIDNAPPED you! When do you finally realize that? They used you!"
"Stop that, Impmon!" Ai shouted. "They are my friends! They played games with me and they helped me digivolve! And if Belphemon is their friend as well, I will save him!"
"But how do you plan to do that?" Impmon asked. "He's guarded by a whole squad of Digimon warriors! You think they'll let you through just because you ask them nicely?"
"Impmon..." Ai frowned.
"What?"
"Don't yell at me, please!"
Impmon wanted to cry. How was he supposed to tell the girl that what she was doing was crazy?
Well, Lucemon or not, he wouldn't put his little girl in danger.
"Ai, turn around! Now!"
"Why?"
"Because I say so! It is too dangerous for a little girl like you! What would Mako say if he finds out what you are doing?"
The small angel giggled. "He would be mad because I have all the fun..."
"Well, that's true... but that's not the point! Ai, please listen to me: Betamon and his friends have brainwashed you somehow! THat... THING over there isn't your friend! We have to..."
"Not listening," Ai said. "Lalalalalalala..."
"Hey!" a loud voice suddenly shouted. "Up there, what are you doing?"
"Oh great..." Impmon sighed. "They spotted us..."
"Don't worry, Impmon!" Ai smiled. "Everything's fine!"
"Come down here!" a Sealsdramon commanded as he aimed his rifle at them. "I'll count to ten..."
"Please don't do that," Ai said to the Champion Cyborg Digimon. "We're just passing through!"
"This is a restricted area, I won't warn you again!" the Sealsdramon shouted. Impmon could see how he was surrounded by a group of Commandramon. "One... two..."
"Ai, he's gonna shoot you!" Impmon screamed. "Turn back, please!"
Ai winced. "I told you not to yell!"
"Three... four..."
"Just a minute," she told the Sealsdramon. "We just want to go and save our friend, then we'll leave."
"Five... six..."
"Um, sir?" one of the Commandramon asked. "Are you really planning on shooting her? She's just a kid..."
"So are you!" Sealsdramon spat. "Back to your post, soldier! I'll take care of this! Seven... eight..."
The Commandramon frowned. "You know... that girl looks surprisingly like..."
"Here we are, Impmon!" Ai smiled as they reached the snoozing form of Belphemon. "Now, how to free him from that thing...?"
"AI! FLY AWAY, HE'S GONNA SHOOT!"
Sealsdramon squinted his eyes. "Nine..."
Commandramon's eyes widened. "Oh no... SIR! SIR, DON'T DO IT! That girl... IT'S LUCEM..."
"TEN!!!"
"NOOOO!" Impmon yelled.
"IMPMON DIGIVOLVE TO... BEELZEMON!"
"FIRE!" Sealsdramon shouted and fired his rifle.
But the bullet never hit its mark... it harmlessly bounced off Beelzemon's armguards.
"You'll pay for shooting at Ai!!" he screamed. Then he divebombed at the group of military Digimon.
"It's Beelzemon!" the Commandramon shouted in panic. "Run!"
"Stay here, soldiers, that's an order!" Sealsdramon commanded. Then he looked upwards and saw Beelzemon's clawed glove coming at him.
He gulped. "Mommy..."
"DARKNESS CLAW!" Beelzemon shouted, prepared for the strike, and then...
Ai smiled. "There, that should do it." And her glowing finger touched the clam that was holding the Mind Control Thingy in place.
"Sir, we lost contact to Commandramon squad B1," Roachmon told his superior nervously.
"B1?" Yamacus shouted in alarm. "That's the guardian squad of Belphemon... what are those fools doing?"
He looked at Andromon. Bring us up there! Roachmon, any signs of the Demon Lords yet?"
"Um, no sir, except for Belphemon... but wait, my scanners are showing me two big power sources nearby... and they're right next to Belphemon!"
"WHAT?" Yamacus gasped.
Ai yelped in surprise when suddenly, the MCT's bonds exploded outwards, and the whole device fell down. Belphemon slowly opened his eyes... his floppy ar wings were trembling... and then his chains broke apart!
Just before Beelzemon's claws hit their target, he could hear an immensely loud roar coming from behind him. Surprised, he turned around. Sealsdramon used that chance to quickly run away.
Belphemon's form was expanding. No longer was he just a huge, cute ball of fluff with an adorable face... his muzzle stretched out to a huge, gaping maw full of razor sharp teeth, his body was a huge, muscular tower covered with thick, brown fur. His chains were wrapped around his arms, and glowing claws of energy were on his fingers. A pair of giant bat wings stretched out behind him, and two curved horns resembling those of a ram appeared on his head.
"RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGHHHH!!!" the monstrous being bellowed. "WHO DARES IMPRISONING... ENSLAVING THE LORD OF SLOTH? WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SACRILEGE... HE WILL DIE!"
Ai smiled up at the towering behemoth and waved. "Hi, I'm Ai! Wanna be friends?"
Elsewhere, a devious grin appeared on Barbamon's face. "And now, the final part of my plan will commence..."
