After a hard fought battle, Nyao was at last victorious. However, danger suddenly struck on the sidelines, as Raijinmon's beam placed Katsura at risk of falling debris. Fortunately Ban stepped into action to protect Gazimon and Katsura. Nyao was left exhausted after the battle reverting down to BlackGatomon. A large section of the wall next to where Raijinmon's attack had hit starts to crumble apart. Pieces of the wall come tumbling down towards the group, but Piedmon stands up and pushes them out of the way with a magic blast. The Prince of Chaos turns to address Phelesmon. "Nyao won the last fight, and I don't think your layer is going to hold up for another. Do the honorable thing and concede the victory to me."
Phelesmon isn't about to surrender his army to his annoying neighbor. "You needed to win two fights, so it looks like you lose by technicality. Let's just call it a draw. My men would never work for you. Sure I may make them watch poorly made horror movies, but they are still loyal." "You're not going to have any Digimon left if your base collapses." Revan turns to Piedmon. "We need to get out of here before this place collapses." "But... what about Phelesmon? We can't let him get away." The roof starts to collapse in the center of the room. Phelesmon rises from his throne and turns to flee further into his base. "Tata for now, Piedmon. And Katsura, you should know better than to fight Willis' battles for him."
Gazimon speaks up for his coworkers. "We're not going to put up with your tyranny anymore, Phelesmon! Come on, let's get the heck out of here!" Phelesmon leaves with most of his champions, but some of his lackeys decide to go with Piedmon. Countless lackeys runs around the layer in a panic, hurrying to rush out. After Phelesmon heads through the doors, the floor below starts to fall apart. The flames rise higher and higher. "Come then, let us leave this place." Piedmon creates a clear platform for the group to stand on. He then levitates the platform back up the staircase, and they exit Phelesmon's layer before it falls.
Piddomon and Raziya wait for Sealsdramon to let them out of their cell. D asks if they know anything about the intruders. "Well Misty used to work for Piedmon. She was his top fighter, ranked 2nd only to Wizardmon in the chain of command. If she has her D-Tector back... oh no. Oh no no, no no!" "Just get me out of here so we can deal with these stupid broads. Nobody ruins my date!" However, D hears someone coming and disappears. "Great. I finally get Dante to ask me out, and I end up locked up with an effeminate angel." "You say that like it's a bad thing. Not only am I powerful, I am also fabulous! You wouldn't believe how many ladies lust after my holy body." "Will you please shut up?!" Piddomon flexes and poses.
Piedmon lowers the platform on solid group and it disappears. "Well, at least it wasn't a total waste. Phelesmon's base is destroyed, we got a few lackeys, and we got to see some entertaining fights." "Indeed. Lord Piedmon, let us return to the Dark Fortress. We need to enroll your new servants." Gazimon walks up to Piedmon, scratching his head. "So uh, does that mean that you will give me a job?" "Of course, Gazimon. I can always use some live target practice." "Gulp! I could sure use that health insurance now." With some of Phelesmon's former lackeys tagging along, the group sets off back towards the fortress. With so many Digimon, Piedmon decides not to use a portal. As they are getting closer, Piedmon can see someone standing along the path in front of the Dark Fortress. As they get closer, Piedmon and Revan see two Digimon accompanying the man, and soon recognize who he is. "Ah, it can't be! Here and now of all times?!"

He sat up from the fall, cracking his neck,as he stood, after the other two got off of him. He stood, glancing over, at the rest of the group, hearing Piedmon and Phelesmon argue. He didn't like the idea, but he realized the arena was heavily damaged after two mega levels duking it out started to tear it apart. He sighed, "That's unpleasant, I had gotten all fired up, too." he then saw Phelesmon retreat, and Gazimon rally his comrades. He smiled, picking up the broken piece of bench from his own rubble, kicking the side, sending it spinning mid-air, before he punched it with all his might, sending it flying, and knocking aside some rubble that might have cut off their retreat route. He then said to Piedmon, "If you save the girl and her digimon, you could gain some more favor from her. She is too far for me to grab them in time. You have to help them." He pressured Piedmon, glancing around to get his attention on the falling debris, before focusing on Katsura, "Of course, I can try, if you do not think yourself capable." He offered, stepping onto the boundary, prepared to jump. As they left, their band considerably larger, as a figure appeared. He kept quiet, but he stepped ahead, making the message clear: If you're gonna fight, fight him first.
"His best fighter? And of course she shows up on my first day." His voice echoed from the shadows, as he noticed Piddomon, "Hey, where's your stick? Can't you mess with people with it? Whatever. This D-tector, means she can shapeshift, right? If I can take that..." he thought, Before realizing overhearing Raziya pout, "Hey, you new here or something? Whatever, not important." He said, tossing Raziya the keys, "I've got a plan. Piddomon had those in his sache and they didn't notice, got it? Cause some distraction, get Misty's attention, and I can take her D-tector. Understand? I ain't here, far as anyone's concerned."

After the fight Katsura was about to get hit by a large chunk of ceiling but this time Piedmon stepped in and deflected the pieces. Once again Katsura wondered why it meant so much to Piedmon to be regarded as evil when he came out as an irritating troll at his worst. In fact, Katsura never said "no" to joining team Piedmon, only asking him to become a good guy in return. You could see in Katsura's sparkling eyes that Piedmon had completely failed to convince her that he's evil. Trying to comfort a crying girl and now saving everyone's life was not helping his case.
Katsura listened to Piedmon speaking that they should have won by now only to Phelesmon to point out the deal from before. Katsura actually had a loophole in store for this situation, not that she needed it right now. Not only was Phelesmon calling a tie but the whole fortress was collapsing. When Revan declared that now was the time to get out, Katsura nodded reluctantly. Tata for now, Piedmon. And Katsura, you should know better than to fight Willis' battles for him." "We must stop him or-" "- We have done everything we can for now." Katsura looked at Phelesmon making his grand escape among with his most loyal subjects. But a large bit just ran out in panic and yet another chunk, including the Gazimon had actually joined them. Piedmon made a light platform large enough for everyone to stand on.
Now was the time for Piedmon to decide if he really wanted to be evil that bad, Katsura looked up at the platform with a pleading look as Ban did the talking for them.

While Piedmon may have been walking the line between good and evil for the moment, he wasn't about to let his comrades get hurt by the falling debris. Pushing the rubble back was not difficult for the Prince of Chaos. The group was successfully able to make their retreat, suffering only minor scrapes and bruises. However, as they returned to the fortress, they saw someone standing there. The man turns around and pulls back his hood, revealing his shaggy blonde hair. "Ah, Piedmon. Fancy running into you here." "Well it is sort of my home, Dante."
Piedmon slowly walks up to his nemesis. The Digimon accompanying Dante, Wormmon and Lalamon, stand in front of Dante and take up defensive stances. Wormmon runs his mouth at the jester. "We've got business, and it doesn't involve you, creep! You better just leave us be, or we shall burn the whole fortress to the ground!" Piedmon laughs off Wormmon's threats. "Ah, that is something my lovely Lilithmon would say. Please, return to your Mega form as the Goddess of Destruction, and let us conquer the Digital World as overlords, and as lovers..." "Ya right! I didn't love you then, and I certainly don't love you now."
Dante just stands there, staring at Piedmon and his group. He didn't recognize Ban in his Champion form. Ban might have some explaining as to why he's associating himself with Piedmon. Maybe at the right time, Ban can reveal himself, while still saving face. Piedmon crosses his arms and turns his nose (Does he even have a nose under his mask??) up at Wormmon. "Hmph! No matter. I shall win your heart some day. Now, what business do you have here?" "It seems one of your former lackeys has kidnapped my date, Raziya. After I picked up her partner Lalamon, I went to Shirou to scan different areas of the Digital World. Considering Misty used to work for you, I figured it was a no brainer that she might come here."
"Oh? So Misty has returned? Are you implying that a filthy Human could have broken into my fortress?" "It would appear so, Piedmon. Not only Misty, but Kiyoko too." "Hmm, I will humor you. On the off chance that someone has indeed intruded, I declare a temporary truce between us. Once I deal with the invaders, and you get your date back, we shall go our separate ways and return to loathing each other." "Sounds good to me, Dante. As long as we don't have to be around this annoying joker longer than we have to." Dante turns his attention to those accompanying Piedmon. In addition to Gazimon and Phelesmon's other lackeys that have left, he sees a girl with raven black hair with a BlackGatomon, and a Leomon. Not the same Leomon he knew. "Alright, lead the way, clown." "I'm not a clown, fool. I am a joker. There's a big difference." "Right. After you, Bozo."
Piedmon approaches the trio and walks past them, heading up the staircase to the fortress. Piedmon opens up the large doors with magic, and soon the huge crowd of Digimon follows him inside. There doesn't appear to be any intruders. As they explore the seemingly abandoned Dark Fortress, Revan walks by Dante. He didn't recognize Revan before, but upon seeing him again, his anger boiled up inside of him. "Revan, what the hell are you doing here?!" Revan pauses and turns around to respond to Dante. "I am Piedmon's second in command. A lot has changed since the Data Core Tournament, Dante. I am far more powerful than the last time we faced each other." "Tough words, for a Tamer who doesn't have a partner anymore." "That will soon be rectified. But for now, we should focus on the task at hand. One day, I will have my revenge..."
As Kiyoko and Renamon are heading to the dungeon, they hear the front doors open up. "Something is wrong, Piedmon must be back." "We should head back to the lounge and get Misty. Without her, we stand no chance against Piedmon and his minions." Meanwhile Raziya unlocks the cell with the keys from Sealsdramon. Raziya and Piddomon make their way out of the dungeon, careful to stay out of sight until the coast is clear. Piddomon still doesn't have his staff, so somehow he is even more useless than before, if possible. As Kiyoko and Renamon are returning to Misty, Piedmon hears others moving about in the fortress. "Dante is right, we do have unwanted guests." The group continues heading further into the fortress, but what sort of traps has Kiyoko placed inside?

Ban felt satisfied with Piedmon's actions, as despite all of his speeches of chaos and such, he is quite the reasonable digimon, which is absolutely fine by him. His grin vanished when he saw Dante. He scowled, slightly, at Dante's appearance, there was no conceivable way for him to hide his presence, as he was easily the largest of the group. As everyone reluctantly spoke to each other, their disdain obvious to one another. He kept himself largely silent and stoic, as the group interacted with each other. He purposely hid the small twig in his mouth, as he marched, stiffly along with the rest. He glanced, momentarily at Dante, then to Wormmon, before analyzing the newcomer Lalamon. His eyes radiating an almost familiar intensity, and his stoic behavior exuded experience.
Sealsdramon followed the two, in the shadows, A red eye pierced through the dark, straight at the two, every time he glanced their way. "Lead the way, I've got you two covered." he whispered, his voice seeming to come from different places, and a very faint scuffling sound could be heard as he skulked around them, the dark castle providing almost too many places to hide in shadow. "Stop. Something's coming." He warned, Hearing something. "Look helpless." He said, stopping his movement, entirely.

Katsura made a small smile to Piedmon, not her over-exaggerated fake smiles but a regular one as she stepped on the platform with Nyao in her arms. "I knew you were nice, thank you." Katsura looked at the collapsing fortress and made a sigh of relief. "You welcome, Willis, Doromon. Wherever you are right now." Nyao only watched with one eye open, still exhausted from the recent battle. The best way to help Katsura right now, Nyao thought, was to get some well deserved rest. But her mind was troubled, Nyao had high doubts that the adventure would end just like that sure Katsura made friends but she also made a new enemy in Phelesmon. He probably won't strike back right now, but why should he not want revenge on Katsura for destroying his fortress, beating up his champion and bringing civil war to the remains of his domain? At least Piedmon ended up installed as the new lord so the risk of a power vacuum was minimized significantly.
Back at Piedmon's fortress the situation wasn't much better.
While they were away Dante and his partner were waiting near the door. Katsura just stood there watching them argue. She may see Piedmon in a better way but she did not know much about the situation. Though she shook her head at Piedmon for bringing up world domination yet again. Katsura was growing accustomed to this part of Piedmon especially since, she was certain he won't do it even if he had the chance.
So he was there apparently because his date was getting kidnapped? Katsura shrugged at that note and even the idea of humans being filthy, Katsura was apparently very desensitized to such situations.
Dante then called Piedmon a clown but he did so in a derogatory way. "Dante-chan please be nice to Piedmon."
Katsura followed the group inside, when Dante yelled up. Katsura turned to Revan confused. "Data.. Core tournament?"

With Piedmon and Dante in the same place, the dynamic has changed. United against Kiyoko and Misty, but a union forged by hatred is a fragile alliance at best. Piedmon was none too happy Ban and Katsura didn't see him as being evil. "Of course I'm no good guy! I'm a villain! Do I not torment people enough to earn your disapproval?" Piedmon crosses his arms and turns away from Katsura, frustrated with his evil inefficiency. Dante didn't recognize Ban as Leomon, but there was something odd about the Champion level. Dante didn't know if this is one of Piedmon's associates, or another Digimon the Prince of Chaos recently recruited from Phelesmon's camp. Either way, it was intimidating seeing so many loyal followers.
Surprisingly, Katsura the Tamer accompanying Piedmon stood up for the jester when Dante was being rude. "Nice to Piedmon? He's an evil overlord hell bent on chaos and destruction! He's literally responsible for most of the disasters we've had to stop. He kidnapped the Defectors and Team Takashi, turning them into dolls and sending them all over the Digital World, in some kind of sick game to get me to become stronger, and take down his rivals." Piedmon starts laughing sinisterly. "He's right, but you also need to realize that if it wasn't for me, you never would have met Wormmon, and you never would have even become a Tamer if it wasn't for me. I think you should be sending me Christmas cards."
Piedmon had Dante there. The Prince of Chaos was responsible for setting a chain of events into motion. If he never destroyed Lilithmon accidentally, Wormmon would have never been reincarnated, the Defectors would have never formed, Shirou would not become a hacker, Dante's entire life since he moved back to Japan would be completely different. "That doesn't justify everything you've done. But like you said, this is a temporary truce." "Exactly. And are you sure I can't tempt you to become my apprentice, Dante Palladino? The golden boy?" "I'd rather not get wrapped up with the likes of you." "Oh, you're such a bore, Dante! I'm beginning to like Katsura a lot better. Maybe I will just make her my evil apprentice, and capture Lilithmon?" "Aren't you supposed to be helping me rescue Raziya?" Dante turns to Katsura and Nyao. "I'm sorry, where are my manners? My name is Dante, and this thespian is a wack job, and a major thorn in my side." "More like super creepy stalker! You can't force somebody to fall in love with you." "Like you know about love. How can you put the way I feel about you into words?" "I can tell you how I feel about you. Disturbed. The Worm King shall not tolerate your treachery, sorcerer!"
While Dante and Wormmon bicker with Piedmon back and forth, Misty and Kiyoko are preparing for a full out war. Piddomon and Raziya continue to sneak around the fortress, with Sealsdramon watching over them. Raziya sees a dark figure moving across the shadows. "Did you see that? Something just moved!" "What, where? That's so creepy." The shadows behind the duo start to rise off the floor. "Oh my Goddess, look out!" The dark shadows cover them like a blanket, dragging them down into the abyss. Ghastly claws reach out from the shadows, attempting to grab Sealsdramon and drag him into the darkness.
Dante and Piedmon both attempt to take the lead. The group follows Piedmon through the Dark Fortress, heading back to the lounge. Piedmon looks around and sees papers from the planning room scattered on the table. "Yes, someone has definitely been crashing in my layer. I leave the house one time and this happens!" As the group of recruits from Phelesmon is making their way through the fortress, more dark figures rise up and attack the Digimon. Viscous claws rip and slash at the group. Phelesmon's former lackeys start fighting back. "Great, this is turning into a madhouse." "I just saw Phelesmon's base destroyed, but I won't stand for seeing the Dark Fortress fall." Piedmon draws two of his swords and starts slashing at the dark hands, channeling his magic into the swords. A dark shadow floats underneath Katsura and Ban, attempting to drag them into the darkness. Piedmon turns and sees his allies are in danger, but suddenly he is hit by a blast of light blue spirit energy. The attack sizzles and burns the Prince of Chaos' fabulous outfit. "No, this is my favorite attire! Oh, tis a cruel tragedy..." "Suck it up there, prince." "Ugh, actors..."

Ban scowled at the idea of Piedmon affecting who could receive a digivice. He spoke, sternly and simply, completely different to his long-winded, calm demeanor Dante and company had seen before, "And here I thought digivices were supposed to be special, not some tools you can hand out to any person, it seems you just got lucky, Worm King, to have received such a good partner." He said, not turning to speak with them, directly, as the castle seemed to loom over them. A chill ran up his spine, and his fur stood on end. Something was coming, he processed this the moment the shadowy claws slashed out at the group. He drew his blade, scanning the shadows for a meaningful target, as these claws seemed like little more than just extensions of a different being. His feet tensed, as he realized something was beneath him, his fist started glowing, as he drew it into the air. "Fist of the Beast King!" He roared, firing a burning lion head into the pool of shadow, targeting the ground it was based on, rather than the mass itself. He blasted a small crater in the ground, and jumped into the air, landing and running to Piedmon's side, as his magic was likely the safest bet against this pool. He cursed himself for being unable to help Katsura and Nyao, And hoped that she and her partner could handle themselves.
Sealsdramon saw this happening, but he stayed still, until the last possible moment, before dodging to the side of the attack, leaping far away from it and throwing a knife at the hand, pinning it against his previous perch, before rolling on the ground, and springing to his feet, activating his Scouter Monoeye, searching for any target that could be hiding in the darkness, as it could see straight through shadow, but this seemed different, it was as if the castle itself was against him. He had lost track of the girl and Piddomon, but he did hear a commotion outside. He backed up, turning to run, jumping from wall to wall, scanning for any trace of unusual shadow, and evading it. His exceptional mobility for a champion aided this escape, as he charged through a window, ignoring the glass shards, he dove towards the ground, planning on regrouping with... Piedmon's small army? Whatever, not important right now. All he needed was reinforcements, "Piddomon's been captured, again, and so has this girl I didn't recognize, but she could have been an ally. They have the castle, and I have no clue what those things are." he reported,yelling despite being out of breath, as he reached closer to the group.

For Nyao it was rather hilarious to see how Piedmon was almost offended over not being considered evil. Katsura padding him on the shoulder while trying to come off sympathetic just sealed the moment. "I'm sorry Piedmon, you're the bestest villain ever." Katsura said making a bright girly smile and a giggle, it was a well intended but perhaps misguided attempt to stroke Piedmon's wounded ego.
But this silly moment wasn't about to last for long as a dispute between Piedmon and Dante busted out for real. "Nice to Piedmon? He's an evil overlord hell bent on chaos and destruction! He's literally responsible for most of the disasters we've had to stop. He kidnapped the Defectors and Team Takashi, turning them into dolls and sending them all over the Digital World, in some kind of sick game to get me to become stronger, and take down his rivals." "He also saved my life" Welp apparently doing one good thing overrules everything else, or well that seems to be the case in Katsura's mind. Eventually Ban joined in on the dispute but Katsura could not keep up as she felt a creep down her spine. Katsura looked down and made a scream in terror. Then everything went dark for a moment, Katsura thought for sure that she was captured until she saw... Feathers? Then Katsura looked up to see a ladyDevimon hovering safely over the darkness with Katsura firmly in her arms. "Thank you Nyao, but please don't do this to yourself. You're supposed to rest." "I'm afraid I can't do that your safety is my main priority." "Sigh, at least let me give you some first aid then. Digi-modify!" Katsura took out a card from her pocket and slashed it.
Nyao could feel her strength was starting to return to her though it would take a while before she regained all her strength. Right now Nyao was prepared to provide Ban with air support, the only problem being that she had no target. But the second she saw something hostile to shoot at, they will get a painful swarm of bats made of dark energy.
"Piedmon I have something I must tell you, the reason why I survived Raijinmon's electricity for so long is because I feast on darkness from lesser digimon. All Katsura's card did was shifting my diet into electric power."
Katsura activated the "Regenerate!"-card. She will be be combat ready in 3 posts Nyao flew upwards Nyao is aiming with darkness wave.
Buffs: Regenerate! (1/3)
Darkness Wave: Creates a wave of darkness in the shape of bats that either harms as many as 3 targets dealing a fair amount of damage or seriously harm one target with a concentrated wave.

While Piedmon started throwing a fit for not being treated as evil enough, Katsura showed him support, and reassured his villainy. The irony that this allegedly evil Digimon is receiving pity from a young woman was lost on Piedmon. "Yes, I'm really bad. Down right dastardly, a tyrant ruling with an iron fist." Ban was not happy with how the digivices had gotten to the Human World, but oddly enough he gave praise to Dante as Wormmon's Tamer. Something about the way Leomon spoke felt so familiar. Stoic and philosophical. Who did Dante know that was like that?
Suddenly, the group went from wandering through an empty fortress, to surrounded by ghoulish hands rising up through the floor and walls. Ban was quick to engage this strange phenomenon, blasting the ground with his Fist of the Beast King. He navigates over towards Piedmon, as the two of them fend off the claws. However, this leaves Katsura exposed. Several demon claws stretch out towards her, but Nyao pushes them back with her Darkness Wave. The BlackGatomon still needed to recharge after the last battle. Raijinmon had waited out the buff Katsura activated, unleashed her lightning energy at Nyao after it switched back from lightning to darkness energy. And the group still didn't know what exactly was creating all these claws.
Piedmon looks over towards Katsura and Nyao. Dozens of dark claws rise up in between them. "It doesn't matter how many we cut down, more keep rising up." Piedmon slashes at the claws with his swords, but one of the claws latches onto his arm. It starts draining Piedmon's energy. He lets go of one of his swords and chops off the dark claw with his free arm. "So you want to play dirty, eh? Everyone, take cover!" Piedmon conjures up a comically cartoonish bomb. He rolls the bomb towards a mass of claws, and sinks down into the floor. Unfortunately, Ban was close by, and would have the most difficultly avoiding the blast radius. The bomb detonates and destroys several dark claws, but more continue to rise. Dark claws start to rise up next to Sealsdramon. He likely heard Piedmon's bomb explode.
Meanwhile, more and more of Piedmon's new recruits start succumbing to the dark hands. They latch onto them and starting draining their energy. Lalamon hides behind Dante's legs, as the claws get closer. Wormmon forms a cocoon out of silk thread, and digivolves to Stingmon. "Ho ya! These hands are more grabby than Shirou at a costume party. Looks like it's time for the King of Sting to get funky! No, they don't want none! I'm the lean, mean, green, fighting machi-oww!" Stingmon takes too long trash talking the claws, which probably can't hear him anyways, and is attacked by the claws from the side.
Piedmon sticks his head out through the floor. He tried to get closer to Katsura, but ended up over next to Dante. "Whoops! Looks like I turn a wrong turn. Nyeh." Piedmon looks over at Stingmon being attacked, then turns to insult Dante. "Not so tough now, bigshot!" "You creepy fooking..." Dante goes to kick Piedmon in the face with the bottom of his heel, but Piedmon disappears into the floor. He rises up behind Dante, taps him on the shoulder, and when he turns around, Piedmon hits him right in the face with a pie. "Wha ha ha ha! Wait a minute, oh right, Katsura!" Piedmon disappears through the floor again, shortly rising up closer to Katsura.
Revan watches from down the hall. "Hmph. Priorities, Lord Piedmon." Revan reaches down to his side and unsheathes a sparkling silver katana. As a dark claw approaches behind him, he turns and slices the arm off. Gazimon attempts to fight off the claws with his own, but is quickly overwhelmed. Revan steps in to guard Gazimon, fending off the claws with impressive swordsmanship. As Dante is wiping pie off his face, he sees Revan holding his own against the claws. He was right, a lot had changed since they last met. How was Revan, a Human, going up against a Digimon's attack?
The group was starting to turn the tides of the battle, when reinforcements arrive. Several dark shadows creep across the floor. Smoke begins to rise up and take shape, forming dark ghouls with rings of spirit energy circling around them. A pair of ghouls approaches Revan and Gazimon. Revan slashes at them with his katana, but his blade just goes right through them. One of the ghouls launches a blast of smog at Revan, knocking him back. As he goes to get up, the smog hovers around him, slowly turning to a strange ooze. He struggles to get up, but clumps of black slime start to form on his clothes. The ghouls go after the others. Two of them pursue Sealsdramon. Piedmon slashes a ghoul with his sword, but it is also ineffective. "What is the meaning of this? Melee attacks do not seem to be working." Stingmon charges up his energy cannon, firing a lime green Moon Cannon energy blast at the ghouls, but it passes through without phasing them. "My energy attack didn't work either! They must have some kind of weakness." The ghouls launch blasts of smog at the group.

Ban was quick to respond, jumping back and making his arm glow, forming a temporary barrier of energy, however, the explosion came from a mega level, not much he could do now but... Pray, maybe. His mane was roughly grabbed from behind, before he was dragged through the dirt, before he was tossed, allowing Ban to roll to his feet, skidding in place, until he stopped, glancing up, "What's wrong, old 'mon? A goofy-ass bomb like that should be nothing for you, right?" D challenged, cranking the arm he just used, as Leomon was a heavy bastard, despite being champion level, as well. Ban stood, before lunging at D, grabbing a shadow claw by the wrist,, before severing it from it's base, they both noticed teh ghouls and their bizarre properties, "If you're done boasting, we need to get stronger. Now." He stated, to which D sighed, puffed his cigarette, and tossed his knife aside, before lunging forward, raining a series of light punches at ban, who had similarly tossed his blade aside, even though Ghouls surrounded them. The two moved almost as if they were dancing, as they traded blows, Leomon was the larger and stronger of the two, but Sealsdramon's mobility far surpassed the bulky foe, so it rather balanced out. After the two exchanged fists for a few moments, the two started glowing, until they both threw hooks, Ban throwing a right handed, while D used a left handed hook, and started spinning and glowing, until their fists clashed together, but the rest of their bodies were indistinguishable, before the two fists separated, and Oujamon appeared, separating his metal fists, and roaring, and stamping on the ground. He turned towards the rest, yelling, "These things are just stalling, we need to find out where they have eyes on us!" He roared, pointing at Piedmon, "Lord of Chaos! You must utilize your illusory abilities! Wormmon, Nyao, you and your tamers can infiltrate from the windows and find the point of control of these creatures. I can stall these worthless shadows in the meantime." He stated, not giving any room for argument, as he activated the jets on his fists, "I think I'll let myself in, regardless." He muttered, before his four fists started glowing, "Golden Fang!" He roared, rocketing straight through the ghouls, as he had intended to miss them, before he slammed into the gate to the castle, blasting it open, and breaking some of it's hinges, He turned, towards Piedmon's assembled forces, "Shrug off the shadows and push on! Reclaim the Castle!" He yelled, in an attempt to rally them to keep fighting, as his image, of a metal boxing champion with jet fists was somewhat a strong image to follow.

Katsura was not too happy about the current situation, what looked to her like the end of a great adventure had turned into an all out invasion of dark hands. A jarring reminder to her about what kind of place the dark area truly is, fortunately Nyao knew all this too well which was why she was blowing up hands a moment ago from above the air. Katsura watched in horror the hands grabbing Piedmon as he fought bravely only for him to throw a giant but this time dangerous bomb. After all this time around Piedmon all Katsura could do about that strategy was shrug. "I should have seen that coming" Nyao couldn't help herself but performing a face-palm upon seeing Ban of all people getting hit by the bomb. This demonstration of bad coordination was just too much for her sanity. Welp at least he survived long enough to fuse and for a ghoulish hand coming out from a wall reaching out for Nyao's chests upper body. For several reasons, such as keeping Katsura safe from harm, Nyao promptly grabbed the hand by the wrist and twisted it around until it broke, said hand was then dropped down on the ground. A signal that Nyao was starting to regain power at a fast rate. One has to wonder what Dante thinks about that moment.
Katsura then pointed at some smoke, directing Nyao's attention. "Look."
There Nyao saw how ghouls were rising up, unlike the puny hands these ghouls were far more dangerous. Even Piedmon could barely harm them with his sword and elemental powers were likewise ineffective. "I could try psychologically torture but from the looks of them, they make Liliana seem like a genial philosopher." "Nyao please stop, Alexis has a good side." "Ugh, let's talk about that later when you're not in danger." "I can hardly keep my hands down for all this excitement." Katsura said deadpan without any emotion in her voice, let alone this alleged excitement. Little did Katsura notice that Piedmon was within earshot behind her at that moment.
Nyao contemplated blowing up the place buuut no demolishing one fortress of one who had it coming was enough to fill her daily quota of destruction, especially when she appreciated Piedmon's company.
Fortunately, the newly fused Oujamon had a plan although it met mixed reactions from this duo
"Lord of Chaos! You must utilize your illusory abilities! Wormmon, Nyao, you and your tamers can infiltrate from the windows and find the point of control of these creatures. I can stall these worthless shadows in the meantime." "What! And leave you all alone? No we can't do that!" Nyao, ignoring Katsura's objections sent Oujamon a nod before turning towards Piedmon's castle.
"Mhm sorry about the wall Piedmon." Nyao then flew off to a tower in Piedmon's fortress to the shock of Katsura. "Nyao! You left our friends behind!" "We're not leaving Ban or D behind, we're taking out the problem from the source."
Now Piedmon may have wanted to ask Nyao "what wall?" Well that was answered less than a minute later when Nyao reached a tower in Piedmon's fortress that wasn't "infected" by the hands. There Nyao raised her large left hand and a concentrated swarm of bats blew a large hole in Piedmon's wall which Nyao used to invade Piedmon's fortress.
(Dante, feel free to describe the room inside the tower)
Nyao used Darkness Wave to blow a hole in Piedmon's home make a new fancy balcony!

"I don't know, Dante. Was coming here and dealing with all these creepy hands worth getting Raziya back? You could always find another girlfriend." "That's not the point." For one reason or another, everyone had stumbled into a sick joke pulled by Misty and Kiyoko. And now Piedmon's Dark Fortress is receiving some unwanted renovations. Ban was towards the edge of the blast radius from Piedmon's bomb, but his brother D returned to save him. The two brothers then started trading punches. What seemed strange at first started to make sense when the brothers fused together to form Oujamon. Ban/D, or rather Dan, came up with a strategy. He began leading the group back out of the fortress to attack from the outside. They manage to fend off the dark hands and the ghouls, making their way outside.
Nyao had been recovering her strength when a dark hand reached out towards Katsura. The sheer creepiness was probably lost on the unfeeling, unthinking collection of energy. The dark hand got more than they bargained for when Nyao leapt down and grabbed it by the wrist, twisting it back. After the group made it outside, Nyao took off towards one of the fortress's higher towers. The room is mostly full of worn out furniture, but it also contains some treasure, and ancient ruins. It's unknown whether Piedmon was using this tower as storage, or if it was like this people the Prince of Chaos returned.
As they are outside, the group starts attacking the exterior of the fortress. "Hey, what the hell do you think you are doing?! There's got to be a better way!" The ghouls and the dark hands follow out the front doors, but then they slowly start to evaporate into data. Masses of dark energy begins to rise, forming a large platform made of smoke above part of the fortress. The smoke begins to descend down, and three figures can be seen standing there. As it lowers down, the group can see Kiyoko, Taomon, and Cambramon standing there. Cambramon walks forward with her arms stretched out. "Are you not entertained?!" _____________________
Description from The Forgotten Odyssey~ She is wearing black and white boots, fishnets, a black leotard, white gloves, and a short black and red circus ringleader jacket. Her red hair has grown longer, with streaks of white. She's wearing a small white mask over one of her eyes, and a large black top hat. Her outfit is covered with various black and white spirals.
She looks similar to her original appearance, but her jacket is very long in the back, She also now has logos of the four suites of playing cards, but the hearts are now broken. _____________________
Dante and Piedmon look up at the trio. "Damn it. Kiyoko, how did you let yourself get wrapped up in this?" Piedmon recognizes the staff Kiyoko is holding. "Hold it right there, what are you doing with Piddomon's staff? You cheap harlots!" Kiyoko raises the staff, and a mass of smog sprays out of the platform at the group. Revan pulls part of his mask down to cover his mouth. "Try not to breathe it in! It is designed to slow down both people and Digimon." Dante and Lalamon start backing up, but Stingmon flies up into the sky. The King of Sting fires a barrage of blasts from his energy cannon, but they bounce off a magic barrier around the trio. "Come on and fight us head on! You don't want none of this." Kiyoko steps forward and nods. "I will gladly fight you." "Good, we've got the odds on our side." Kiyoko wags her finger. "If you are all going to attack at once, we are just going to throw wave after wave of dark Digimon at you, until you are pounded into submission." The group has a choice. Face these femme fatales all out, or decide on some rules for engagement.

Oujamon huffed, as they simply appeared behind him, revealing themselves in an awful display of arrogance, he thoroughly doubted the durability of their shield being enough to defend against a mega level, a number of ultimates, and a small army of champions, but he stood, crossing his arms, impatiently. He sighed, as he dropped one elbow to the ground, firing a shockwave at the mist, dispersing it away from himself. He cracked his neck as he stood back up, he was none too impressed with any of these immature freaks, He stepped forward, taking the fighting initiative. "I've got a lot of emotions that can be solved by punching someone in the face. Ban has been itching for a fight all day, and has some pent up punches to throw." he remarked, staring at his top, right arm. "And D was quite angry about losing his match, and wants to redeem himself, they both are agreed, and that desire to punch others has made me. So by all means! Try my steel first, I don't care as long as you can handle me punching you REALLY hard." He remarked. This fusion was oddly cocky, despite the personalities of the two who made it up, but, both of their pride felt injured, therefore this overly macho personality was simply the embodiment of their damaged pride, attempting to repair itself. However, the steel, jet powered fists didn't exactly hurt, either.

Though a lot is going on, not much seems to directly affect Katsura and Nyao this round.
Katsura and Nyao found themselves in a room fool of old furniture and a couple of treasures as well. Having temporary gotten Katsura out of danger, Nyao gently placed Katsura on the floor. There they looked around for a moment, Katsura was curious about the ruins and what they meant while Nyao looked out of what used to be a wall to see an army lead by a lady arrive. Such an epic fight and Nyao wasn't a part of it. "We got to keep going." "I know." Nyao took a deep breath, her power was back now. And not a second too early, she closed her eyes and when she opened them they glowed golden. Then she was engulfed in white light. "LadyDevimon digivolve to Minervamon" Nyao stepped out of the light, Minervamon was back at full force. Nyao opened the door to the stairs and started walking down with Katsura right behind her. "Remember that card you wanted to use on me? Keep them all close."
