Breakthrough [Invite]

In the west again, Marshal and Firamon were spending yet another day searching for that Digimon from the Village of Beginnings. As they flew over the Valley of Dragons, they noticed a figure laying at the bottom of the canyon. Curious, the duo made a slow landing on the canyon floor to find Robyn and her Digimon partner laying there.

"Robyn!" Marshal cried, hopping off Firamon and racing over to her. "Are you alright?" Marshal hadn't seen Robyn since the day she had arrived at the Digital World, nearly four months prior. The word at the beginning of the school year was that she had moved to a different school and was focusing on her internship.

Marshal was just as concerned. Not only had no one seen Robyn in a while, but she wasn't sure where she was, either!

"This is the Valley of Dragons," Coronamon explained. "Typically, you don't see Tamers down at the bottom of this canyon."

"What's the last thing you remember?" Marshal asked. "No one has seen you in almost four months!"

Robyn's mysterious circumstances aside, they were about to be attacked by two Digimon. He instinctively grabbed his D-Arc and the Blue Card. "Digi-Modify!" he shouted, swiping the card. "Matrix Digivolution, activate!"

"Coronamon Matrix Digivolve to...Flaremon!"

Flaremon stood ready for battle, watching the two Digimon approach.

Danger was always abundant in the Digital World, that much had always been clear to Marshal. However, this situation was a cut above the rest. Marshal had never had to deal with a Mega level Digimon before, and Flaremon would be woefully underprepared to fight Megidramon.

Flaremon jumped up to fight the Mega Digimon, already preparing a Flare Eruption. Hopefully it would at least take a little bit of damage from his ultimate attack.

Flaremon suffered the full force of Megidramon's attack. He crashed straight back down to the floor of the canyon and reverted to Rookie form. Marshal immediately rushed to his partner's side.

"Coronamon!" he shouted, mortified. "Are you alright?"

Coronamon was certainly not alright, considering he had just been sent plummeting hundreds of feet to the floor of the canyon. "I...can't move," he grunted lazily.

Marshal wasn't about to take that for an answer, when their lives were literally on the line here. He picked his partner up off the ground and stood him upright. "You have to keep going!" he shouted. "If we give up now, we're dead!"

Coronamon looked up wide-eyed at Marshal, then started grinning like an idiot. "You know," he chuckled, "normally it would be me trying to get you up instead." This reversal of roles was very clear to both of them, and it really showed how far the pair had come in the time they'd spent together.

Before their little moment even had time to wrap up, Megidramon was closing in on Robyn and Petitmon. There was no way the two of them would be able to fend off a Mega level. Without thinking, Coronamon leapt to his feet and started running towards the distressed Tamer. With a guttural war cry, Marshal grabbed his Digivice and held it up high. A bright light filled the canyon as Coronamon began to Digivolve, but this time was different. The amount of energy Marshal had put into this was more than ever before due to his strong desire to protect Robyn and Petitmon. This, in turn, would trigger a brand new type of Digivolution for Coronamon.



"Coronamon Warp Digivolve to...Aldamon!"

In an instant, Aldamon was in between Megidramon and Robyn. Before the monster was able to do anything, Aldamon brought up the diamond-shaped weapons on his wrists and used them to fire a giant, dragon-shaped projectile at Megidramon, stopping it for an instant.

"Robyn!" Marshal shouted from a distance. "Run!"

Aldamon smirked as he watched Megidramon fire his attack from point blank range. In a flash, Aldamon raised the weapon on his right arm and charged through the flames, cutting through them like butter. "Solar Slash!" he declared, finally making it all the way up to Megidramon and slashing at him with the strange weapon on his arm.

Marshal was amazed. The two of them had been starting to fall behind in combat, it seemed. This was the perfect catalyst for them to push through to the next level. It seemed that it could potentially be working out for Robyn and Petitmon as well, as her Digivice was beginning to glow, signaling that Digivolution would be near.

Aldamon watched as Megidramon took off for the skies in an attempt to escape. He smirked as he unfurled his huge wings and gave chase to the Mega. "Wildfire Tsunami!" was the name of his next attack. A huge tornado of fire surrounded Aldamon as he rammed into the giant dragon. The attack was reminiscient of Coronamon's Corona Cloak.

Megidramon was staggered from this attack, so Aldamon figured he'd be able to finish the job. He held his hands up high and a giant ball of fire began to form above him. Aldamon threw it right at his enemy with a cry of, "Solar Wind Destroyer!" With no time for Megidramon to dodge, he took the full brunt of the attack and the whole canyon rocked with a fiery explosion.
