Rewriting: Digimon Dereliction Season 01 Episode 13
The Group had spent the night at the castle and were well rested and ready, after breakfast they had to head on out to try to help in some way, though Michael pointed something important out, they don't know where exactly the wall of fire is. But Norn says that she knows and they all followed her lead to prepare for what is to come next. Going off riding on Trailmon worm, which was the only one that still went on that route.
Though they would be going past, they wouldn't be stopping meaning that if they wanted to get off the train there they'd have to jump. Liollmon says to leave that part to them as they all had climbed on top of the train car they were previously in and then Digivolved into Liamon with the group climbing onto their back as their location was coming up.
Liamon jumped once it was safe to do so, and came to a sliding stop, the place they were at had clearly seen better days. Hiroki questioned where they were exactly, and Gazimon says he knows, this is the original castle of Yggdrasil. Since four out of the six humans of their group didn't know about what happened Ganimon says that this used to be the castle of the previous king of the Digital World.
Ghostmon says that this was also the location of the final battle that ended the war between the Royal Knights and the Mao Armies, Ichiro then asked what was that war about? Norn answered saying that the previous King made a terrible mistake in judgement and started a war that could have been easily prevented if they weren't so foolish, making Liamon turn his head to look at them since they were all still on his back.
Muchomon says that during the final battle their father Nichole had brought together all of the Knights and all of the Demon Lords for a single goal of defeating the previous King. Jean says that after that he'd been named the new King, and they know the rest thanks to their mom filling in the blanks last night. Norn sighs and tells Liamon where they'd need to go, and off they went to the wall of fire.
The Digimon in the gold and black armor was at the wall and Jean called them Alphamon questioning where the others were, but Alphamon says that he is the only one left and turned towards the wall of fire indicating that it's already started. Hiroki asked how they were supposed to get past a literal wall of fire, and Alphamon says that he can help with that.
Norn says that would be dangerous, but Alphamon says that if anyone can reach Nichole it would be them, and used his power to force open a hole through the wall, telling them not to argue with him and just go. Liamon then rushed inside with the others as they saw a strange looking Digimon and their Digi-Tools all began reacting projecting the symbols from the screens again and their Digimon Partners had all become their most powerful states.
Liamon had become Loader Liollmon, Ghostmon became Jokermon, Gazimon became Metal Tyranomon, Ganimon became Waru Monzaemon, Shakomon became Gusokumon, and finally Muchomon had become Silphymon once more. This was strange as that wasn't part of the plan, but there was no time for that as the strange Digimon began to attack them with Norn calling to be careful as they tried to avoid attacks.
The attacks were coming faster and faster as they all tried to avoid the attacks and fight at the same time with them all calling out to Nichole with a strange glowing taking place, but it was getting dangerous as if it was like the void behind them began to crack from all the fighting. The humans of the group had just barely avoided being attacked grouping up as they'd done so, and a massive attack was being sent their way.
Loader Liollmon blocked the attack to protect them but had collapsed with Norn crying and coming over to her partner worried. The Lion-like Digimon then coughed saying that he wasn't going to make it as the strange digimon was glowing more and the crack behind the group grew larger. Norn tried to tell her partner that he would be alright, but he says that they both know that's not true. He also says that he knows he'd said she was Norn to him, he had one final request.
Though we don't hear what he said Norn's face had dropped even more as she fell onto her knees crying but nodded hugging her partner though we do not hear what she says to them as Loader Liollmon then began to glow and his body had become some sort of strange glowing energy and split apart firing off into the bodies of the other Digimon on their team with a final word "Farwell." The others began glowing and changing forms.
Jokermon had Digivolved into a clown-like form called Piemon first, followed by Metal Tyranomon becoming more machine-like with canons on their back called Mugendramon. Then it was Waru Monzaemon becoming a Digimon that looked like a marionette puppet with a hammer called Pinochimon, followed by Gusokumon becoming serpentine with metal scales and blades called Metal Seadramon.
Finally Silphymon had become a taller form with a sword and shield, along with a golden bird upon their arm called Valkyrimon, and they all began to attack fighting off the strange Digimon still calling to Nichole as the glowing from the Digimon had become more intense and the glowing form of Nichole then appeared with the Strange digimon starting to change shape becoming something else.
The crack behind the humans split apart as Nichole called for them to get out of there, NOW! Though there wasn't time to do much the partners of Ichiro, Hiroki, Michael, and Seiko grabbed their partners throwing them through the rift that had appeared as strange black orbs were shot from the Digimon form that had now been split from Nichole, with Valkyrimon grabbing Norn and Jean faster than the orbs could catch, but the rest of the group had the orbs seep into their bodies.
The strain of keeping the hole in the fire wall open had been too much for Alphamon as they started to fade and called out for them to escape, and Valkyrimon getting out of there and the partners of the rest of the group following as Alphamon faded completely and wall shut on the Digimon split from Nichole. Though they'd got away something was off as the others started acting wildly and began to attack them.
Valkyrimon then gets the three of them out of there with the golden bird acting as a distraction for them to escape. Taking the ring from around his Neck Valkyrimon tells Jean to take it and run, find a way to stop what's happening, and not to argue with him, for once just listen to his older brother and escape.
Norn shoves Jean to help get him out of there with the two of them running off as they heard the screaming of Valkyrimon with Jean crying fearing, and realizing that, the worst had happened to his brother with the two barely managing to escape the rest of their group. Jean cries out in frustration with Norn asking "What should we do now Jean?" though he answers "Jean is dead, they died the same time Valkyrimon did, call me Gennai."
