Digimon: The Convergence of the Human and Digital Worlds

BanchoLeomon unflinchingly stared down both Kimeramon and Beelzemon in the ruins of Takeda's executive office, narrowing his eyes.

"Guys, Biomerging now would be great. Seriously. Dirk's dead, Beelzemon's completely lost his shit, and Kimeramon-URK!" He started to say, only to be cut off by Beelzemon rushing him, pushing him back until both Megas fell out of a window, plummetting towards the ground below.

"The hell are you doing?" BanchoLeomon screamed in fury as he strugged against Beelzemon's grip while the two fell.

"I just woke up, pal. And I'm fucking hungry." Beezlemon sneered from his dominant position on top of BanchoLeomon as they drew ever closer to the ground.

BanchoLeomon snarled in frustration as he drove his knee up into Beelzemon's gut, stunning the Demon Lord long enough for the lion Digimon to reach up and whirl him around just before they hit the ground, slamming Beelzemon into the middle of a busy Tokyo street to break his fall.

As Beelzemon rose with a groan, seeming barely damaged despite the fall, BanchoLeomon scowled.

"...You're really not the same Impmon we've been fighting with all these months, are you?" He asked rhetorically, already knowing and fearing the answer.

"What are you, stupid? I already told you that!" Beelzemon laughed, brandishing his claws as he and BanchoLeomon advanced on each other. "Now come on! I'm gonna feed on every last bit of your data!" He cackled as he drew his Berejena shotguns and took aim.

"Fine." BanchoLeomon grit his teeth and drew his sword. "If that's the case, then I've got no reason to hold back." He said, charging at Beelzemon.

Back at the Tokugawa Heavy Industries complex, a roar reverbrated throughout the building as it started to shake, with the quakes increasing in intensity until a Machinedramon literally burst out of the floor, tearing Kimeramon in half with its claw as it rose. The Machinedramon didn't stop its ascent even as Kimeramon burst into data, loading the artificial Digimon as it crashed through the ceiling of the office, rising straight to the sky above the roof of the building. Bits of Kimeramon's data swarmed around the mechanical Mega as it eagerly devoured them, culminating in a flash of light as every last piece of data was loaded.

"Machinedramon DNA evolve to...MILLENNIUMMON!"

And an abomination descended upon Tokyo.

Planning an omake featuring Jesumon eventually. This will be the theme. You can guess how that'll go from there.

Digimon: The Convergence of the Human and Digital Worlds

Mmmk. So are we still doing 2 timelines at the same time? S5 is with our new world organization, right? What was S11?

@Vincanity

Only doing S11.

Digimon: The Convergence of the Human and Digital Worlds

True, true. I just don't know how your memory is Vo. I just remember that Leon, Zei, and Jordan ended up in the same sector of the Digital World. That and he at least partially opened up to her about his past, or at least that there's something he regrets.

Not urgent, but since it seems that s5 is the only one to be likely to happen, unless Psych scoops the other up, I want to know how you guys would feel about this.
I'm now debating whether Jordan should be reset totally as planned, left in the same continuity, if not slightly tweaked, or partially or totally removed.
May add another character- One Nekane Yamimoto. RBY is familiar. She could replace Jordan, and the whole Suichi-Jordan-Amy dynamic/group, or be additional, either main, co-main, or supplementary.

@tobiax

S11 is happening. Fuck whatever Ganon says.

Also never liked the former Emperor schtick Jordan had going anyway.

Innocent, youthful, quite sensitive, sees her like a sister she doesn't have.

@Vocalia

What about Lucas?

Digimon: The Convergence of the Human and Digital Worlds

...Did Elle and Mistymon just run up 75 fucking flights of stairs?

Digimon: The Convergence of the Human and Digital Worlds

Beelzemon crashed through the wall of Masashi Takeda’s private office, looking upon an old, wizened Japanese man sitting at his desk. With a roar, he leveled his cannon at the man…and fell to his knees in agony as four cylindrical devices emerged in the corners of the room, glowing bright yellow. After a few seconds, Beelzemon himself began glowing white, devolving slowly back into Dirk and Impmon. The lights in the office shut off for a moment before emergency power kicked in, illuminating the room in a dim glow as the four devices in the room shut off as well, smoke wafting out of each one.

“Wh-what the hell?” Dirk gasped, panting for air as he tried to recover from the sheer agony he’d just felt.

“Come now, did you really think I wasn’t prepared for this?” Takeda smiled, rising from his seat as he walked up to Dirk. “After the girl disappeared, I had no hold left on BlackWarGreymon. To be honest, I’m surprised he’s not here right now instead of you. Tell me, did you like it? It’s called the Digivice Wave Inhibitor. Blocks signals from that infernal gadget of yours and reverses your evolutions. It also took the entire building’s power to activate in just one room, but I rather prefer that to death.” Takeda turned away, taking a katana mounted on the wall and unsheathing it.

“And speaking of, here comes yours, Western trash.” He swung the blade, taking the exhausted Dirk’s head off.

Lucas entered the doorway, sliding his keycard into the final reader, and flung the door open only to see Dirk’s head fall off his shoulders. He gaped for a moment, not comprehending what he was seeing before it finally registered. Takeda just killed Dirk.

“BASTARD!” Lucas roared, drawing his pistol and leveling it at Takeda, only to be knocked back as Kimeramon crashed down into the office from the roof.

“Don’t speak to me of bastards, boy, considering that you’re Hideki’s.” Takeda frowned, flicking Dirk’s blood off his sword before he turned away.

“I’m going to rip your fucking head off!” Lucas roared as he pulled his Digivice out and set his briefcase down with Elecmon emerging from it.

Biomerge activate.

BanchoLeomon snarled in fury as he prepared to charge at Kimeramon, only to be interrupted by the sound of rasping steel.

“I wouldn’t advise doing that.” Takeda said as he pointed his sword at Impmon’s kneeling form. After watching his partner die, the Rookie seemed to be nearly catatonic, not even reacting as Takeda put his katana in front of Impmon’s throat. “Unless you’d like to lose two friends today, instead of just one.”

BanchoLeomon paused and opened his mouth, but was cut off as Impmon began laughing, glowing in a sickly yellow aura.

“I...remember now.” He giggled, causing Takeda to unconsciously back away. “Everything that happened to me before. That fucking asshat sealed my memories and my Crest away, saying something about a second chance. Too bad for him that whatever fake personality he put in me just fucking up and croaked!” He cackled as the aura rising around him reached a crescendo.

“Impmon warp evolve to...BEELZEMON!”

And just like he had months ago, an insane Beelzemon emerged, Berejena shotguns in hand. Only this time, there was a yellow crest upon his brow.

“I am Beelzemon, Demon Lord of Gluttony!” He bellowed as Takeda scowled, backing away as he hit a button on his desk. A section of the wall behind him opened up, and he quickly scurried into his panic room, leaving a three-way standoff in the now-ruined office.

“Fuck!” BanchoLeomon shook in rage as Takeda got away, looking between both Kimeramon and Beelzemon. “Leon, Veemon!” He roared back behind him, voice echoing through the long hallway. “Biomerge and get your asses up here now! Zei, get Dorumon from whereever the hell she is already!”

Digimon: The Convergence of the Human and Digital Worlds

"Elevator." Lucas said in a short, clipped tone as he picked up the briefcase holding Elecmon and pointed towards the other side of the room. As he and Leon piled in, Lucas slammed a finger into the 75th floor button, silently fuming at Dirk and Impmon. What the hell did they think they were doing? And for that matter, why the hell was everyone trying to misguidedly help with this? Dirk, Jordan, even Leon. It was great that he had friends that wanted to help him (and Jordan, for whatever fucking reason he had), but friendship went both ways. Would've been great if they had trusted him enough to let him handle this on his own.

As they reached the 75th floor, Lucas stepped out, motioning for Leon to follow behind him.

"No Biomerging unless we see an enemy Digimon. If you see Takeda, waste him. I don’t care how, just do it.” He said as they started to move forward...only to see Zei step out of a nearby service elevator. Lucas stopped for a moment, pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration, and groaned.

“Alright, that’s the third fucking person who’s dropped in on a perfectly workable plan today. I’m done. Where the hell is Dorumon? Is she not even with you?” He scowled, moving forward and slotting the keycard he took off his father into a nearby reader, opening the door into a long, ornate hallway filled with Japanese wall scrolls and samurai armor models. “This puts us down one. Leon, stay back and guard Zei in case anyone comes across you two. You see anyone come, human or Digimon, Biomerge and take them down. Less risk to you that way. I’m going on ahead. If I’m not back in five minutes or you hear fighting, follow after and finish Takeda off.” He said, leaving without waiting for a response.

MirageGaogamon moved quickly through the wrecked top floor, noting to himself that it was empty besides himself and the shape he could make out through the smoke; this was going to make things easier.

The shape- Beelzemon, of course- was wading about, seemingly looking for something. Maybe somewhere he could descend lower into the building. Beneath his cowl, MirageGaogamon grit his teeth. He had to stop him before he made this even worse.

Beelzemon had been a pain when he’d been on the other side of the conflict, but dear god he was even worse when he was on the same side.

“Hold it-” He started off calm and steady towards the Demon Lord. As much as he would have liked to just club the moron over the head and drag him back to Siggy for a chewing-out, there was only so much power he could call on without causing a scene- if he went straight on the offensive to neutralize him, it would only make things worse. “Beelzemon, do you have any idea what you’ve just done?”

“Get the hell outta my way,” Beelzemon snarled, ignoring MirageGaogamon as he continued to stride forward.

MirageGaogamon repressed the overwhelming urge to snarl back.
He’d been just angry before, but now he was furious- first the idiot charged straight in on the plan without a regard for stealth or practicality, and now he had the gall to treat him like a nuisance?
A more impulsive individual might have just lost it there and let the Demon Lord have it. MirageGaogamon wasn’t quite so beholden to impulse; even as he held in a snarl, he kept talking levelly.

“I’ll ask you again. Do you have any idea what you’ve just done? Almost all of our planning just went up in smoke just like this building is. Your friends have this under control-”

“Screw you, asshole! I got this!” Beelzemon roared, extending his wings and dashing away.

“Oh for fuck’s sake!” MirageGaogamon just about snapped as a large flash of light releasing itself from his body- as a long chain of light rushed out and wound itself around the Demon Lord’s leg.
“I don’t think so,” The Canine Knight growled, his composure crumbling as he was forced to enter his Burst Mode to even attempt to restrain Beelzemon, “Do you have any goddamn idea what could be hiding in this building? That Kimeramon could only be the half of it- the whole point of this operation was to get in, kill the human in charge of this all, and leave!”

If it wasn’t clear he was furious before, it was clear as day now- he’d been forced to go to Burst Mode after all, and he wasn’t even sure that was going to be any help for restraining a belligerent Demon Lord. That fury became even more evident when he gave the chain a powerful tug to drag Beelzemon towards him-

And Beelzemon responded in turn by whirling around to point his arm cannon in MirageGaogamon’s face.

“What, don’t you listen? I got this, idiot. Now lemme go or this goes up your ass.”

With his composure crumbling, it took a lot of willpower to not just slide-evolve to MagnaGarurumon and threaten the same with his own cannon- but MirageGaogamon held. He’d already gone to his Burst Mode, he’d just have to weather whatever Beelzemon threw at him for now. Besides, every moment he kept the Demon Lord occupied was another moment he bought Lucas to get in and finish Takeda, so his efforts were hardly wasted yet.

“Try me,” He finally snarled, his eyes filling with a disturbingly primal fury as he glared at Beelzemon, “I faced down Imperialdramon, do you really think a little shit like you intimidates me at all?!”

“Yeah? Well, ya know something?” Beelzemon snarled as energy began to gather in his arm cannon. ”So did I.” And he fired the Corona Blaster. The blast was left deliberately underpowered: enough to wound MirageGaogamon, certainly, but nothing near fatal.

MirageGaogamon intuited as much; holding onto the chain, there was a rush of air as he flashed out of the broken wall of the 75th floor to dodge the attack, dragging the struggling Beelzemon along with him. The Corona Blaster wasn’t fast enough to get within a few meters of him-

But then he saw who it was on course to hit, and his breath caught in his throat.

“Shit!” He snapped, as he saw the distinctive shape of Dorugamon move into the trajectory of the Corona Blaster, with another figure on her back; even with how underpowered it was, an attack like that would be nothing but bad news for the two Digimon.

Without even thinking, MirageGaogamon dived between the attack and the two lower-levelled Digimon; he was only conscious of the fact that he’d let go of Beelzemon when he found himself flying backwards with the chain dispersed back into an aura of light energy as he felt his body burn from the attack.

And without another word, Beelzemon turned back towards the building and dashed back inside, disappearing from MirageGaogamon’s sight.

“Son of a bitch…” He grumbled to himself as he watched the Demon Lord escape back into the building. All he could hope for now was that his intervention had bought Lucas the time he needed to get to Takeda- going after Beelzemon now was just going to make things worse.

“Are you two alright?” He asked, his voice slurred from the pain of the attack as he floated towards Dorugamon and Ranamon; he didn’t even seem angry at their appearance, just resigned and concerned.

Waiting on a thing before I can post again.

Digimon: The Convergence of the Human and Digital Worlds

In the middle of the day, the skyscraper that was the headquarters of Tokugawa Heavy Industries was a bustling mass of activity as businessmen moved in and out of the ground floor lobby. Lucas proceeded to ignore them all as he made straight for the receptionist's desk in the back of the lobby.

"Good afternoon, sir." The receptionist bowed as Lucas approached. "What can I help you with?"

"Lucas Okada and associate." Lucas gestured back to Leon. "I'm here to see my father, Vice President Hideki Okada. He still on the 74th floor?"

"Yes, sir." She replied, quickly typing into her workstation as she recognized the name. "I'll tell Vice President Okada you'll be coming up to see him."

"Thank you." Lucas said as he gestured for Leon to follow him into the elevator. The ride up to the 74th floor was mostly spent in silence as salaryman and researcher alike crowded into the elevator, with more leaving as the elevator went up until they were the only two left by the time the elevator reached its destination.

"Good afternoon, Lucas-san!" A middle-aged woman called out to him as he stepped out of the elevator. "What a surprise to see you here! I haven't seen you since you were in high school! Have you been doing well?"

"Chiyoko-san." Lucas nodded to his father's secretary. "I've been alright. Is he in?"

"Yes he is. I already told him you were coming up, and his schedule is free right now, so you can go in whenever you wish."

"Thanks, Chiyoko-san. Give my regards to Shuji." Lucas said before turning back to Leon.

"Wait here." He said, gesturing to the chairs in the front lobby of the private office. "Don't do anything stupid, and don't worry if you hear me shouting." Lucas narrowed his eyes as he turned towards the office door. "I...don't get along well with my father."

Knocking on the door, Lucas didn't even bother to wait for a response before entering.

"Well, boy?" A stern man in his late forties narrowed his eyes, annoyed. "What do you want?"

"Hideki." Lucas addressed his father, causing the man to glare at his son for his overly-familiar tone. "You do know what your boss is cooking up in this company's R&D labs, don't you?"

"And why should I reveal company secrets to you?" Hideki replied.

"Because he's been working on a monster like the ones that've been attacking the city for the past month, maybe." Lucas said dryly. "Tell me, how would you like a promotion?"

"What are you talking about, boy? Speak plainly." Hideki snapped, annoyed by Lucas's flippancy. In response, Lucas sighed and pulled out his phone, bringing up a picture of Kimeramon that he had taken during the battle on the train.

"Masashi Takeda is directly responsible for creating a bioweapon. I'm going to kill him. Fortunately for you, as vice president, that leaves you to take control of the company. All I need from you is the keycard that gives you access to the R&D labs and his private office. Also his schedule."

"And why should I cooperate with or believe you in any way? I'm five seconds away from calling security up here for conspiring to murder my superior, you little ingrate." Hideki snarled, before starting in surprise as Lucas whipped out a police-issue Sig Sauer P230 pistol out of his suit jacket, glaring furiously at his father as he flipped the safety off and pointed the gun at his head.

"Because otherwise I'll blow your jackass head off and take the keycard off your body. After all you've done to me, you think I wouldn't shoot you?" Lucas hissed, his voice barely above a whisper as he shook in fury. "The instant I got to Japan, you shunted me off to your mother's like I didn't even matter. When she died, you had me rooming with your god damn interns. The longest I ever stayed with someone was with your god damn secretary, and only because she was a decent enough person to see what a jackass you were being to your own son. And all the while my two half-brothers grew up like rich little bastards in the best private schools in the country before you landed them with cushy fucking jobs!" Lucas's voice gradually rose as he continued on until the last sentence could be heard outside of the office.

"So you think I won't fucking shoot you for failing to do your fucking job as a father and causing me to grew up miserable while your legitimate sons grew up like Kim Jong Un?" Lucas whispered, his hand steady as he leveled the pistol at his father.

"Are you done, boy?" Hideki said stoically, folding his hands on the table. "I don't doubt that a mongrel child like you would hesistate to shoot your own blood, as loathe as I am to admit my relation to you. You have me in checkmate." Hideki admitted freely, shrugging his shoulders as he reached into his desk, pulling out a keycard and handing it to Lucas. "I only count my blessings that whatever crime you're up to, it benefits me in the end. At this time of day, Takeda-san generally takes lunch in his private office on the floor above us. The keycard will get you through security. Ten minutes from now, I will be calling the guards to tell them that my son held me up at gunpoint for my keycard. Try to get your business done before th-"

A loud boom reverberated above, causing both men to look up in surprise. However, Lucas recovered quicker and leapt over the desk, lunging at his father, knocking him down to the ground before he pistol-whipped him in the temple, knocking the man out instantly. Rising to his feet, Lucas spat on his unconscious father, kicking him in the crotch for good measure.

"Call security on that, bastard." He snarled before flipping his pistol's safety back on and tucking it into his jacket. Lucas stepped back out into the front office. "Leon, what the hell's going on? If that wasn't you...shit. Was that Jordan?"
