Going My Soul - Digimon All Seasons/MGLN Crossover
Tia hadn’t had this dream in a while.
Standing in a explosion of flames and naked, not that it bothered her much, she was looking around as the heat warmed her body, making her feel comfortable in them. She was walking with no end in sight, looking around.
Then, a hand slid through the fire and Tia felt it slide across her cheek, loving and comfortingly.
Unlike the last few times she had been in this dream, she could see the face more firmly: warm eyes looked out from a flaming mane of red hair. Red armor like one that you would find on a noble samurai was worn, and the hand was covered in a black glove.
“Shinka,” insisted the man.
She had looked for that word when she used to have the dreams, and now she knew what it meant. “Evolve?”
The man in red armor nodded. “Shinka.”
Tia nodded as the dream changed, and he pressed a red phone-like device into her hand. “Shinka,” he insisted once more before retreating into the flames.
Tia awoke, and rubbed her eyes as she looked out at the room. It would be the last day she and Subaru spent together in Riot 6. It was all over save for the shouting.
Shinka. Insisted that voice once more at the edge of her sleep-addled mind.
“Evolve… huh…”

Episode 1: Spirits of Fire
It was a perfect day for the best ending that Riot 6 could manage to have. Though there was a underlining sense of melancholy since many of them would be going their separate ways. People exchanged numbers and offered to keep each other updated on where their next assignment was going to take them.
In the midst of it, Tiana sat in the same place that she had once cried on Nanoha’s shoulder, legs hanging over the ledge as she looked at the ocean. Despite the sense of completion that she had with the JS incident behind them, she couldn’t help but have a sense of unease thus far.
Normally she’d be happy, being able to work with Fate, but the dream still managed to touch at the edge of her mind. Raising a hand to the sky, she peered at the sun that was beating down on her. “Shinka… huh…”
Laying down, she shielded her eyes with her hand. “I wonder what it really means…”
“What means what Tia?” inquired Subaru as she plopped down next to her, followed by Erio and Caro and Fried. “And what was that word you uttered a while ago? Shin something or other?”
“Shinka,” said Erio. “If I remember correctly it means Evolve in Nanoha’s language.”
“Something on your mind Tiana?” inquired Caro curiously.
“Ah… just a dream I had, Caro,” replied Tiana, exhaling softly. “I haven’t had it since I was a child.”
“Maybe it was the stress of the last couple of days getting to you?” suggested Erio helpfully.
“Could be.” Normally that would be the case and Tiana would laugh it off. But there was an underlying sense of urgency to the pleading tone.
Quite suddenly however, Fried began to squack, flapping his wings agitatedly as Caro looked at her dear partner. “What’s going on Fried?”
Birds from the nearby tree suddenly took off, letting out sharp cries. “Something’s spooking the animals,” said Erio, suddenly on guard.
The underbrush rustled, and then suddenly, a tree snapped in a shower of splinters as Subaru and Erio were in front of the pair, barrier jackets set up. Dust billowed everywhere as alarms went off, and the pair protected their rear guard members. “What’s going on?” demanded Subaru as a glowing outline of something stormed into view. “Tch, an invisible attacker?”
“It must be one of Jail’s leftovers,” said Tiana, activating her own jacket in a burst of orange light as Caro did the same. “Let’s try to slow it down.”
“Report!” exclaimed Hayate, running into the command room of the retrofitted Asura.
“There’s huge energy surge near the dormatories. Lightning 2 and 3 as well as Stars 2 and 3 have engaged!”
“We can’t get a good visual, something’s blocking our sensors!”
“Can you beam them out of there?” inquired Hayate.
“That’s a negative sir! We can beam reinforcements in though!”
Hayate nodded. “Do it. Send two squads down there and contact the on-planet command. They’ll need to know what’s going on.”
As men ran out, a voice cut into Hayate’s thought. “They won’t be able to stop it, your men.” She turned to see a young man standing there, dressed in civilian clothing. Red shirt, green jacket, blue pants with dark hair.
“I’m sorry but civilians aren’t allowed on deck,” said Hayate.
“I’m not a part of this place,” said the young man as he looked at her and she was startled to see the sheer age in his eyes. She was a good judge of stuff like that and it made her nervous. “Or any place. I just came to warn you all that the Digital Hazard is coming. And you’d best be prepared. Already it begins, with the attack.”
Hayate’s eyes narrowed. “Who are you?”
The young man smiled as he held up a black device in response. “Just a passing by… person.” It was like he was going to add more but thought differently. Instead he smiled, and for some reason Hayate felt assured at that. “The first is already on site. You should keep in mind there will be more.”
Hayate nodded as she blinked and in that very second, he was gone.
After a long moment Rein, who had been keeping silent, turned to her and asked, “Hayate? Who where you talking to?”
This wasn’t looking good at all. She knew that most of the mages that were in Riot 6 were upcoming elites but they had been swept aside like ten pins or scattered by the gusts of flame breath that it breathed. What sucked the most about the entire situation was that they couldn’t hit it, but it could hit them.
Another gout of flame erupted from it and rather than dodging, the two forwards put up a shield that held long enough for the flames to explode around them. “This is not looking good,” said Erio needlessly as he adjusted his grip on his lance. “Any more ideas?”
“Your guess is as good as mine,” replied Subaru. “Tia?”
“Working on it!” She and Caro were forced to dodge out of the way as what they figured was its tail crashed into the ground. “Caro, you and Fried circle right, let’s see if we can’t keep it busy from both sides.”
“Roger!” In a burst of energy, Fried grew to his large size and she mounted him, the pair soaring into the air amidst bursts of flame tracking them. Fried spat a gout of energy at it but the attack passed through harmlessly, impacting into the ocean.
“Tch, this is frustrating,” snarled Subaru. “Can’t even make a dent in it!”
Activating Wing Road, she soared upwards. “Let’s give it one for Mach Calibur!”
Zooming around, energy built up in her hand as she started her attack. “Divine….!”
Suddenly, that tail came up and smacked into Subaru, blindsiding her as she plummeted to the ground. “Damnit…!”
Unable to catch herself, she was caught by Tiana, but the pair weren’t going to get a second to retaliate as a gout of flame erupted towards them. Tiana threw up a shield and there was a loud cracking noise.
“Get out of there, it’s going to break!” yelled Erio, charging forward to help them.
“Tia!” yelled Caro from her perch. “Subaru!”
With a cracking noise, the barrier shattered and the pair were engulfed by flames.
“Shinka…”
Tia blinked. She was back in that firestorm but this time, she held Subaru protectively, her back turned towards the flames. “Tia…” said Subaru. “We’re not burning…”
“What…?” Tia looked up and there floated a totem, made of red and black. “It’s… protecting us?”
“Shinka,” resounded the voice. “Spirit Evolution.”
“Evolution… Tia, I think it wants you to use it somehow,” said Subaru as Tiana carefully let go of Subaru and turned around to face the totem.
“That’s crazy, it’s just an idol,” said Tiana. But for some reason it was drawing her to it.
Holding out her hand, it floated towards her open palm and in a flicker of zeros and ones, turned into a red and black device that fit into her hand. She looked at it and gasped. “I… know this… somehow.”
Gripping it more firmly, she exhaled. “Subaru… this one time, I’ll protect you.”
Subaru blushed and nodded. “Go for it.”
Reaching towards the sky with the hand holding Cross Mirage, digital code flared around it. I know this… I know this somehow… I just don’t know… where it comes from. But yet…
And she dragged her hand down the top of the device and there was a chime from her device. “Get Set,” chirped Cross Mirage as words came to her.
“Spirit… EVOLUTION!”
When the flames died out, Erio half expected to find his teammates dead or badly burnt. Instead, sat Subaru with an awed expression on her face. And who could blame her as what was once Tia stood a warrior in red and gold, a long flame-like mane of hair flowing down her feminine frame.
The thing that was Tiana narrowed her voice as she spoke, cracking her knuckles in a very Subaru-like manner. “You okay, Subaru?”
“Yeah,” said Subaru as Tiana looked at her opponent.
“Leave this to me.”
Rushing forward faster than a Sonic Move, Tiana was upon the creature as she delivered a powerful blow, striking hard into its jawline. Flames erupted from the impact point as it roared and the body shimmered to reveal a large dinosaur-like creature in brown and orange, stripes running down its body.
Aiming Cross Mirage at it, Cross Mirage boomed with a attack that they hadn’t heard before. “Pyro Darts,” it spoke calmly as flames wreathed from her gauntlets, spiraling to the front of the gun.
Tiana pulled the trigger and multiple shots rang out, gouts of flame impacting and staggering the creature, driving it backwards with a roar of pain.
Landing, she intoned, “Let’s do this, partner.”
“Burning Salamander,” intoned Cross Mirage as she squeezed the trigger.
The dinosaur was caught flat footed as a dragon erupted from the barrel of Cross Mirage, consuming it in a rush of flame and fire. There was a cracking noise as it exploded into an outline, a glowing bar of energy rippling around it.
Holding out the device that had been the totem, information flowed into it as Cross Mirage stated “Greymon Scanned.”
“Wow,” managed Erio as he and Caro had watched the fight with surprise. Since when could Tiana do all of that?
In a cracking noise, code formed around the girl in an egg-shape before it receded into the device, leaving a heavily breathing Tiana. “That was amazing Tiana!” exclaimed Caro. “How… what?”
“That’s what I want to know,” said Erio.
“All I know is she saved our butts! Good going Tiana!” laughed Subaru as she hugged her friend. “Always surprising us!”
Tiana managed a weak smile. “I guess I never knew I had it in me.”
“I’m fine,” said Tiana as she was released from the hospital from her slight burns suffered from the attack. “I can walk really!”
She was also being carried by Subaru who was grinning. “Can’t let the hero of the day walk, now can we Tia?”
“Gah,” exclaimed Tiana. Debriefing hadn’t been fun either, after she explained the events of the day. Oddly, Hayate seemed not to be worried about it.
“What’s say you come home with me? We’ve been given a little medical leave,” suggested Subaru.
“Fine, but if only that you’re carrying me,” grumbled Tiana, blushing.
Subaru grinned.
“Some kind of new lifeform,” summed up Shari who had been running the tests on the data they had, scanty as it was. “It has a very unique DNA profile. Almost as if it has zeros and ones.”
“The data is similar to a familiar, but vastly different too,” said Rein.
“A runaway familiar or something different?” asked Hayate.
“Something completely different, and out of this world.” This time, all three of them looked up and Hayate frowned. “Hey,” said the young man.
“Okay, no games. Who are you?”
“I’m… what you would call a watcher,” said the young man slowly. “You can call me Kouichi.”
“All right Kouichi, no games. What was that?” demanded Hayate.
“That was a digital lifeform. We call them digimon, or did years ago. The name still applies.” Kouichi looked at the three. “Like I said in my warning, the Digital Hazard is coming. The Digital War is upon us.”
“What’s… the digital war?” asked Rein quietly.
Kouichi looked up into the ceiling, as if consulting something and then said, “It… is the beginning of the end, for the destroyer has been woken up. Ten spirits, ten legendary warriors. Beast and Human alike, embodied in a single girl.”
“Tiana,” said Shari and Kouichi nodded. “Why her?”
Kouichi smiled as the world began to ripple around him and he began to vanish into mist. “Because… she is perfectly… average.”
And with that, he vanished.
The world rippled as Kouichi appeared in the mists in an unknown location.
“Did you deliver the message?” inquired the first.
“I did.”
“Tch, its bad we can’t help,” said the fifth in a circle, smacking his fist into his palm. “I would have beat them good.”
“There you go, thinking with your fists,” said a smaller female form. “You haven’t changed in a hundred years, Masaru.”
Masaru Daimon smirked. “And like you have, Hikari no Hikari?”
Hikari Yagami scowled at him as the first rolled his eyes.
“Must you two argue like that?” inquired the third as he stepped into view. Next to him lurked a large shadow that hung like a specter.
“So says the great Akiyama,” smirked Masaru. “I still say you’ve got some guts choosing a girl as the next Xros.”
“What happened to the Kudo boy?” inquired the first and Akiyama coughed.
“He’s awoken, but is fighting headlong in the digital world. We need someone here, to field the power of the spirits.” Kouichi grinned. “Ryo doesn’t believe we can pull it off.”
“She’s still too old,” grumbled the first.
“Like I was? Let’s face it; we need someone already trained to do this,” said Masaru. “And stop hiding yourself in the damn shadows man! Come out where we can talk normally.”
The first sighed as he stepped out of the shadows, revealing an unruly mop of hair. “Fine fine,” remarked Taichi. “Ruin my fun.”
“Look we have to agree to disagree right now,” said Kouichi. “We’ve chosen our successor of the Xros. Like it or not, we’ve recreated a literal Decade thankyouverymuchRyoforcoiningthat. With each digimon she scans, the stronger she’ll get.”
“Let’s hope it’s enough, to prevent the return of the Ocean Lords.” Said Taichi and the others nodded.
“Tch. Well I hope Agumon’s okay with getting his ass beat by a girl,” said Masaru. “Even if it is good for her. Maybe she’ll get some manliness from it!”
Hikari headslapped him. Hard.
Tiana flopped down in her bed that Subaru gave her. It had been a very VERY long day and she wanted to go to bed.
But it was not to be as the device in her hand flashed and a voice echoed from it, “Ne, neeeeeeee, Anesan! I’m hungry, can’t I get some fried eggs?”
Tiana groaned. Great, the monster she had blown up wants to talk. Wait.
She looked at it as the monster appeared in a flash of light, but was a smaller one, orange with red bands around his hands. “Boy it feels nice to be out of there,” said Agumon, much to Tiana’s horrified expression. “Can you make me some fried eggs Anesan?”
Standing in a explosion of flames and naked, not that it bothered her much, she was looking around as the heat warmed her body, making her feel comfortable in them. She was walking with no end in sight, looking around.
Then, a hand slid through the fire and Tia felt it slide across her cheek, loving and comfortingly.
