Baby/Baby II: It's a baby. A Pony could kick it and it would go down.
Rookie/Child: An actual threat. A Filly couldn't fight it, but most adult Ponies could match the weaker ones. Stronger ones might need some teamwork.
Champion/Adults: Some of these are kaijus. You'd need to either be a Main Character or have more strength that normal ponies to stand a chance. And that's for normal/weak ones. Stronger ones might need even more.
Ulitmate/Perfect: Metal Greymon is a Perfect/Ultimate. Metal Greymon has nuke missiles. You'd need the Elements to face it, though Celestia and Luna could fight it on equal ground.
Mega/Ultimate: An Alicorn would be given a run for their money against things like this. Most of these are strong enough to make literal Miracles happen.
Huh didn't know you were an mlp fan. Learn something new everyday. Gotta say this is interesting from what I've read well heres hoping you recover quickly Link best of wishes."I am so, so, so, so sorry, Princess! I had no clue you were coming by today! Oh, this place is a mess! Spike, why didn't you let me know about this! I would've-" Twilight kept dashing to and fro around the main room of her home, her mouth running a mile a minute. The other occupants of the room watched as her body turned into a purple blur, dashing from one end of the room to the other. Her magic was working overtime to pick up the scattered scrolls and papers along the floor. Well, "scattered" wasn't necessarily the right word. It was more like pages upon pages of notes organized into neat piles along the floor or table. There was still enough room for anypony to make it through the room. It was just that the scrolls and such were very obviously not supposed to be there.
"Um, Twilight?" Fluttershy tried to say something, but her quiet voice couldn't reach the panicking Twilight Sparkle.
"I knew I shouldn't have neglected my schedule today! This always happens whenever I do!"
"Twi?" Spike tried to step forward, but was knocked back by the wind pressure Twilight kicked up as she ran. Babs grabbed him before the baby dragon could hit the ground, but Spike's eyes still swirled from the impact.
"I didn't even have prepare anything to eat! This is so, so, so bad! Don't worry, Princess Celestia! I promise I'll get you some-"
What finally stopped Twilight was a gloved hand grabbing her tail as she tried to rush by its owner. Her body stretched a bit as her momentum was suddenly arrested by an opposing force. She gasped as she was pulled back by the force. She came to a stop, being dangled in the air by the owner of the gloved hand, Cornelius. The Wizarmon X lifted Twilight up until he was looking her in the eye. His voice was calm as he spoke, "I believe you can calm down, Twilight. Things are not as bad as they seem."
"Not as bad!?" Twilight flailed her hooves around in the air, locks of her mane sticking out to emphasize her panicked state, "Not as bad!? Cornelius, Princess Celestia is in my home unexpectedly! I don't have anything prepared for her arrival, and my home is a mess!"
"Perhaps. But she doesn't seem to mind that much," Cornelius waved toward the alicorn in question. Twilight followed his movement to see her mentor giggling at the whole situation. She was lying down on the left side of the room, where the least amount of piles were. To her left lay Fluttershy, the pegasus nervously smiling while nodding her head at Twilight. Hovering above the two, his wings flapping every now and then to keep him afloat, was Lucemon. His lips were curled into an innocent smile, but his eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief.
Twilight blushed, a nervous laugh escaping her lips as she gazed up at Cornelius, "Ehehehe...uh...right. Um...you can set me down now."
Cornelius obliged, gently lowering Twilight onto her hooves and releasing her tail. She sat down and started using her hooves to fix her mane, while her horn glowed to put some of the scrolls in their proper places. Cornelius grabbed one of the scrolls and then waved for Spike to come over. Shaking his confusion off, Spike got to his feet and hurried over to Twilight. As he helped her with her mane, Princess Celestia spoke up, "I do apologize for not informing you of my arrival, Twilight. But the circumstances led me to believe that leaving as soon as possible would be the best idea. Both to investigate an event that occurred with the Elements of Harmony, and to meet these Digimon you wrote so much about in your letter."
"What?!" worry immediately creased Twilight's expression at the Princess' words, "What's wrong with the Elements?! Do we need to head to Canterlot?"
"Be at peace, Twilight Sparkle. There is no need for panic. I have already found the answer to what happened yesterday. And it all stems from those Digivices on your hooves," Celestia pointed toward the device tied around Twilight's hoof. The sash holding it in place was a light fuchsia that complemented the lavender color of her Digivice. Multiple sparkling purple stars stood out along the body of the device. As Twilight looked down at her right hoof, Celestia continued, "It seems that, after your Digimon 'evolved' as you put it, those devices came out of the Elements of Harmony. I can only assume that they're directly connected to both them and all of you."
"Hmm, that answers one of our theories," Cornelius lifted one of the scrolls from a nearby table along with a quill. He started marking things out on the parchment as he spoke, "The Digivices you all received are, in fact, directly connected to your Elements. Their arrival coincided with our evolution to our Champion forms. By this logic, we Digimon are indeed directly connected to the Elements of Harmony. How fascinating."
Twilight's brows furrowed as she lifted a scroll and quill with her magic. As it wrote, she continued to speak, "But it doesn't explain why that's the case. You all weren't there when we first got the Elements, and it's hardly been a day since you all first arrived. Not to mention that Spike doesn't have an Element, yet he got a Digivice as well. Could it have something to do with how you Digimon are sensitive to emotional bonds?"
"I'd imagine so. Hmm, perhaps the bonds are simply something that affects us Digimon. It could be that Spike's relationship with you may have influenced the creation of the Digivices."
"Or maybe they're a reward. I don't think the Elements would give us rewards for what we did yesterday. But maybe adding Digimon to the mix muddies how they work? I wish I had my Element here. Then I could-"
Spike's loud groan got the two of them to stop talking. He looked over at Princess Celestia and waved his claws at the two, "See? They've been like this all night! Ever since we got home, they've been doing nothing but talking and writing about Digimon and stuff. The only times they stopped were when Twilight sent you that letter and when Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie came by."
Princess Celestia raised an eyebrow as her horn started to glow a bright gold. She levitated some of the scrolls to read and hummed, "I see. Is this true, Twilight?"
Twilight blushed again, putting down the scroll and quill while avoiding Celestia's eyes, "Ahaha...uh...yes, Princess. We may have gotten a little carried away."
Celestia turned her attention to Fluttershy, "And what about you, Fluttershy?"
"Oh...I...um," Fluttershy started drawing circles on the floor with a hoof, "I...uh...I wanted to...talk with Twilight about...Lucey."
At the sound of his name, Lucemon floated down to land just behind Fluttershy. He gently grabbed her around the chest with his arms. She let out an "Eeep" as he lifted her up and hugged her close to his chest. He sat down, laying his head against her mane, and looked at Celestia, "Fluttershy tried to turn me back into my previous form. But her Digivice kept saying she couldn't. We came here to see if Twilight could find out why, ran into Pinkie and Cutie along the way, and now we're here. I was flying around to give Twilight and Cornelius some material they could study when you came in."
Celestia looked at the strange Digimon up and down. Her eyes shifted to Fluttershy, who was trying to comprehend being held by her Digimon. Her gaze soon landed on the yellow mare's right hoof, and the Digivice wrapped around it. A peach-colored sash kept the yellow device snugly fastened to her hoof. Her cutie mark was imprinted all over the device, much like Twilight's. Then Celestia turned back to Twilight Sparkle, "While it is good to be curious, Twilight, it is not healthy to neglect your basic needs. Sleep and food are just as important as knowledge."
"But there's so much to learn!" Twilight responded with raised hooves, "These Digimon are completely new species that come from an entirely new world that we know nothing about! We could be standing on the precipice of something amazing for Equestria and-"
Her tirade was interrupted by a loud grumble echoing through the room. Everypony present blinked before looking at the source. Twilight placed both her hooves over her stomach as she tried to smile through the embarrassment, "Hehehe...never mind. I guess I could take a little break. Speaking of, where's Pinkie Pie?"
As if on cue, the door to the kitchen was kicked open. As everypony's attention went to it, they saw a familiar pink tail peaking out of the door. Followed by the aforementioned pink pony backing up out of door. She was making loud sounds in between saying, "Hold her steady, Cutie! Watch the tippy-top of the door! And the sides! And the landing so you don't trip!"
"I have it, I have it, I have it!" another voice, higher-pitched and sounding a bit strained, said as "Cutie" made her way through the door after Pinkie Pie. The Shortmon was holding a large platter over her head with both hands, moving carefully to avoid letting its contents touch the walls. When everypony's eyes fell upon the platter, they saw-
"Cake?!" Twilight, Fluttershy, Spike, and Celestia all exclaimed simultaneously. The Digimon didn't react to the revelation, except for Bab, who started drooling at the sight of the food.
"Yeppers!" Pinkie said, giggling as she led her Digimon over to the table in the middle of the room. Despite being the same color as her fur, her pink Digivice could be clearly seen on her left hoof. It was tied to her with a bright blue sash and had the balloons of her cutie mark plastered all over the body. She stepped back and said, "Okay, Cutie! Set her down!"
The Shortmon did as asked, letting out a short grunt as she did so. Now that it was on the table, the occupants were able to get a good look at the object. As white as the driven snow, as tall as Pinkie Pie, and wide enough to cover the platter, the cake seemed to be "split" into two sides. One side was a standard vanilla cake with swirls made of strawberry icing dotted across the top. The other side looked the same, except that a multitude of gemstones seemed baked into the cake itself. Emeralds, rubies, diamonds, and more all sparkled in the light of the sun. The sight made Spike start drooling as well. Letting out a sigh, Cutie reached into her chest pockets and withdrew a stainless steel cake knife along with a small tower of plates. She turned to the room's occupants and, with a bright smile on her face, said, "So, who wants the first slice?"
"Me!" Spike, Babs, and Pinkie all said in unison, all three dashing to stand by Cutie's side. Without a word, Cutie easily cut two slices out of the gem half of the cake, handing one to Spike and one to Babs. The two dragons licked their lips as they walked off to enjoy their meals. Cutie turned the cake's platter around and started cutting into the regular part to get Pinkie her slice.
"Wh-Wha-Bu-How?!" Twilight shouted, glancing at the kitchen door with her eyes wide, "How did you make a cake in our kitchen?! We didn't have all the ingredients for it!"
"A good patisserie excels in two things. Firstly, the willingness to serve customers with politeness and a bright smile," Cutie said as she handed Pinkie her slice of cake. Pinkie thanked her before hopping over to an open spot next to Princess Celestia. She greeted the Princess and then started to dig into her food. Cutie took a wipe out of her chest pocket and used it to clean the cake knife. She smiled over at Twilight and said, "And secondly, always being prepared to work with limited resources. The gems were the hard part. Fortunately, I found some in a bucket beneath the kitchen sink. Oh, was that yours, Spike?"
Spike was already shoving his cake slice into his mouth. He nodded but said through crunchy bites of his cake, "Yeah, but don't worry! This stuff is delicious enough for me to forgive you for it!"
"Why, thank you, young drake," Cutie gave the dragon a short bow. Then she turned to Princess Celestia and gave a deeper, more proper bow, "And what of you, Princess Celestia? Will you do this novice patisserie the honor of trying her latest creation?"
Celestia, with a calm smile on her face, nodded, "Of course. Although I am the one who should be honored to receive such a gift."
"Your words are like cake icing on my heart; sweet, filling, and smile-inducing! You get two slices for that!" Cutie's hands were a blur as she cut two slices of the normal cake and tossed them onto a plate. She stabbed the cake knife into the cake and then pulled some silverware out of another pocket on her jacket. Carrying both over to Celestia, she let the Alicorn pick it up with her magic. With one last bow, Cutie proceeded to walk back to the cake and began passing out slices to anypony who didn't have any. Lucemon put Fluttershy down and took the plate with two cake slices in his hands. He used one of the forks to cut a piece out of it, then pointed it toward Fluttershy's mouth. With a nervous smile, Fluttershy opened her mouth while Lucemon placed the fork in her mouth. As she chewed, he used the same fork to eat his own piece of cake, though he did so quickly that nopony seemed to notice.
Twilight continued to stare at Cutie, her eye twitching even as her own slice of cake sat untouched in front of her hooves. Parts of her mane started to stick out as she spoke, "Bu-But-But that doesn't explain how?! Where did you get-"
"Twilight," Cornelius spoke up, picking up her plate and his own, then placing both on a nearby chair that was big enough to hold both. He looked down at his tamer and said, "I believe that the origins of Shortmon's ingredients can be explained by a previous theory of ours. The one that concerned us Digimon and our ability to create what we need within the capacity of our station."
Twilight's twitching stopped as a contemplative expression came over her face. Her head slowly nodded as she brushed her mane back to normal with her hooves, "Hmm, yes. You might be right about that. This is the theory on how you're able to summon a staff whenever you want, regardless of the laws of physics, right?"
"Indeed," Cornelius answered, twirling his hand as a long, wooden staff appeared in a flash of light. Said staff had a gnarled and twisted shaft that seemed to fit perfectly in Cornelius' palm. The top of the staff had been carved into a sun with seven points sticking out the sides. The middle of the sun was cracked open, revealing a strange, white rock placed inside, resembling the Digivice on Twilight's hoof in many ways. It even had a star engraved just above the rock. He held it across his arms as he continued, "Much like how I am able to do this, Cutie can use the data within her digicore to create the things she needs within reason."
Twilight nodded as her horn lit up. She picked up some of the scrolls and prepared to write down what Cornelius had said. However, the sound of somepony clearing their throat gave her pause. She looked up to see Princess Celestia staring at her with a raised eyebrow. Nervously smiling, Twilight set the scrolls down and picked up her plate to eat some cake. Smiling, Princess Celestia spoke up, "Very good, Twilight. Once you've eaten, how about you tell us about some of these theories that Cornelius mentioned. I'm rather interested in learning more about your new friends."
"Y-Yes! Of course, Princess!" Twilight proceeded to shovel the cake into her mouth and swallow it as quickly as she could. Pinkie and Spike giggled at her actions, while Fluttershy quietly whispered for her to be careful. Cornelius took his cake, then turned his back to everypony in the room. He pulled down his mask and began eating his own slice. Surprisingly, he made no noise as he did so. Within seconds, he pulled his mask back up and turned around. He cleared his throat, tapped his staff against the floor, and an azure blue aura appeared around its top head. A large whiteboard with multiple markers rolled into the room, surrounded by the same azure blue aura. Cornelius tapped his staff against the floor again, and the aura disappeared as he moved to stand next to the whiteboard.
He waited for Twilight to finish eating, then move to stand next to the whiteboard with him before he began to speak, "Throughout the night, Twilight and I had been discussing anything and everything we could think of regarding Digimon. The differences between us and ponies, how the emotional connection between Twilight, her friends, and us works, how our evolutions work, and anything else we thought would be pertinent information to know."
"And what we found kept us up all night," picking one of the markers in her magic, Twilight started to write on the whiteboard as she spoke, "Firstly, we have confirmation that Digimon do, indeed, come from a separate world from ours."
"Not that hard to figure out," Spike said, rubbing Babs' head and scratching him around his scales. Babs smiled while pushing his head into Spike's hand, one of his legs thumping against the floor. Spike chuckled and said, "I'm pretty sure somepony would've heard about guys that look this cool."
"But it's more than that," Twilight continued as she kept drawing on the board, "They don't just come from a different world than us. They come from a place with completely different rules. Nature is completely automatic, with plants growing on their own and rain coming whenever it wants or needs to. And it comes back to a specific fact about their world that makes it completely different from ours. Our world is made up of physical matter, magic, and chemicals, their 'Digital World' is made up of a single defining element: Data."
Twilight stopped writing and stepped aside to reveal a relatively simple drawing of a world, with multiple arrows pointing toward it with the word "Data" written above them. Fluttershy and Pinkie "oohed" at the reveal, while Cutie and Lucemon simply nodded. Celestia stared at the board with a curious expression on her face as she spoke up, "Fascinating. And what exactly is 'Data'?"
Twilight frowned and said, "I'm afraid to say this, but my understanding of what data is exactly is...limited. I understand that it's information and seems to be how Digimon are able to do things that seem like magic. But Cornelius can explain it better than I can."
All eyes turned to the Wizarmon X. With a slight nod, he stepped up to the whiteboard, erasing what was there with his sleeve. He picked up one of the markers and drew a circle with two rings around it. Then he stepped back and pointed at it, "This is a Digicore. It is a Digimon's soul. It not only allows us to exist and live, but also stores all the information from the data we receive upon our evolutions. This data is then processed by the Digicore, and through it, our items and other aspects are created. For instance, my robes are formed from my Digicore processing the data related to them and then projecting it onto my body."
"So, the reason Lucemon has six wings is because that's the 'data' that his Digicore is processing?" Celestia asked while looking at the Digimon in question.
Lips curling into a cheeky smile, Lucemon flapped his two upper wings as the Princess' attention fell on him, "Why yes, indeed it is. Though I have to say that they are not nearly as beautiful as yours or Fluttershy's wings, Princess."
Fluttershy blushed but quietly said, "Th-That's not, um, true. I...I think your wings are lovely."
Lucemon used one of his lower wings to rub under Fluttershy's chin while he placed a hand on her head, "Thank you, Fluttershy. Your kind words are always treasured by me."
Fluttershy giggled as Lucemon rubbed behind her ears. Pinkie hopped up from where she was seated and dashed over to Cutie. She began hopping around her Digimon with a huge smile on her face, "Oh, oh! Does that mean that Cutie is made up of a bunch of data-ma-whatsits about strawberry shortcake!"
Drool leaked from Pinkie Pie's mouth as she mumbled something about "Shortcake Data". Cutie chuckled and handed her another slice of cake. As Pinkie thanked her, Cutie explained, "Yes, but no, silly Pinkie. Data is kind of weird. Cause while we can use it for things like this, it's not something we can use all willy-nilly. And it's not something you can physically touch. Think of it like silly string, but it's invisible."
Everypony's eyes turned back to Cornelius. He seemed to grimace but nodded, "While I wouldn't describe it that way, Cutie is not wrong. Data is invisible and can't truly be touched or seen by the naked eye. At least, not within this world. In the Digital World, you could see and touch data as the entire world is made from it. And due to how data is simply information, it stands to reason that the Digital World is a world filled with a varying amount of information. All processed in different ways to create the world itself. Which would then mean the inhabitants themselves are just as varied as the world itself."
"Thus, Digimon," Twilight continued, using a marker to create rudimentary drawings of the Digimon in the room, "This would explain why the Digimon we've seen are so different from each other. All their Digicores processed different data when they were in their Digitama, or egg, forms and evolved to that state. That is how all their subsequent evolutions work. This explains why some of the evolutions have been radically different from their previous forms, such as Cutie changing from a rabbit to a walking strawberry shortcake."
"Yeppers!" Cutie said as she cut the cake into its last few slices and laid them all out on the table on plates for anypony to get. She took one herself and moved to sit by Pinkie, the two giggling as they noticed the cake icing stuck to the party pony's nose.
"But....um..., but what about when I, uh, found them as eggs?" Fluttershy asked, shuddering as Lucemon's hand moved to her other ear. She stifled a happy sigh as his fingers traced around the back of her ear.
Twilight smiled and spun her marker around in the air. Next to her, Cornelius was using his own marker to draw basic pictures of Twilight and her friends. Twilight continued to speak while looking at everypony else, "That's because data in and of itself is not enough for the change to occur. It forms the basis of their evolution and helps them discover what they will become upon evolving, but they need something else. They need a stimulus. Something that can kickstart their change into a new form. Sometimes it's age, but a much more potent force is..."
"The Magic of Friendship," Cornelius and Twilight said in unison, both tapping their markers against the whiteboard. It now displayed two images side by side. On the left were the Digimon in their Rookie Forms, and on the right were Twilight and her friends. Between them were drawings of the Elements of Harmony shining brightly.
Pinkie and Cutie clapped at the revelation, while Spike rolled his eyes. Celestia, however, smiled with pride at her student's conclusion, "That is wonderful! This would be confirmation the bond you've formed with your Digimon is what caused the lights emanating from the Elements yesterday?"
"Indeed. Though, I would like to add an addendum to that information," Cornelius said while putting his marker down, "It is not just friendship, but emotions in general. We Digimon are very empathetic and can be heavily influenced by the feelings of those around us. None more so than our Partners."
Twilight held up her right hoof to let everypony see her Digivice. Once she had everypony's attention, she tapped on the screen a few times, causing it to light up. Twilight's horn emitted a magenta aura that surrounded the Digivice. As she did this, the screen on the Digivice floated into the air. Spike wiped the cake and gem dust off his mouth and crawled closer to get a better view. Babs followed him, accidentally tripping over the baby dragon and causing them both to tumble to the floor. After shaking off the impact, they managed to get close enough to sit next to Twilight. By that time, a white screen was hovering in front of Twilight. Her magic's aura glowed around the edges, while the screen displayed an image of Cornelius on the right side. On the left side, there was a long list of numbers and letters that nopony could make sense of. Save for the three at the top that read "Friend/Tamer/Partner: Twilight Sparkle", "Digimon: Wizarmon X (Cornelius)", and "Stage: Champion".
"Oooohhh! Pretty! Can mine do that cool thing too?" Pinkie asked, already preparing to slap her hand against her Digivice.
"Possibly," Twilight answered as Pinkie started rapidly pressing her hoof against the screen of her own Digivice. The unicorn pressed her hoof against the image of Cornelius on her Digivice, causing the one floating above her to glow, "Whatever these Digivices are, they seem to have been made with the idea of a Digimon finding a friend in mind. It records the fact that I bonded with Cornelius, though I'm unsure why I'm also called a Tamer. None of the Digimon are animals, after all."
"Don't. Know. Either," Babs spoke up, his voice rumbling a bit, "But. Feels. Right."
"And what's happening with the image of Cornelius on the right?" Celestia asked as the glow covered the entire image. A second later, the image split in two. On one side was Cornelius in his Wizarmon X form, while on the other was his Lopmon X form. Above both, the word "Change?" flashed multiple times.
"That," Twilight began, "is how we can change our Digimon's forms. By placing our hooves on the image, we gain access to this process. All I have to do is touch Cornelius Lopmon X form, and he'll transform into it in a few moments."
Cornelius nodded to confirm Twilight's words, "This is true for all of us Digimon... save for one."
As Cornelius turned his eyes toward Lucemon, everypony else in the room followed suit. Lucey and Fluttershy both glanced up when they noticed all eyes on them. Fluttershy attempted to conceal herself behind her mane, while Lucey simply smiled and shrugged, "It's true. As I stated prior, Fluttershy can't turn me back to my Cupimon form. We wanted to ask Twilight about it, but I think that can wait until later."
"Y-Y-Yes....th-th-though, I kind of wish...I...um, got to see more of your, um, Cupimon form. It was...really, uh, cute," Fluttershy, realizing what she just said, quickly shook her head while looking up at Lucemon, "N-N-Not that you're not, um, cute Lucey. I'm sorry if, um, that's what-"
Lucemon lowered his finger and placed it on Fluttershy's lips to gently silence her. His angelic smile remained as he spoke, "There's nothing to apologize for, Fluttershy. I understand what you meant. However, I doubt you'll think the same when I demonstrate what I can truly do with my fingers."
Fluttershy looked confused, but Lucemon only chuckled. Cornelius cleared his throat and then continued, "Yes. We were unable to get to that because we were...distracted by other things."
"Ah, I see. And, Pinkie Pie and Cutie just came along?"
"Yep! I felt like something cool was gonna happen! So I didn't wanna miss it!" Pinkie admitted with a giggle.
"And I came along for the same reason!" Cutie declared with a raised hand.
Princess Celestia chuckled. However, her expression fell somewhat as she turned back to Twilight and said, "Then that just leaves one final question: The Digimon who attacked Ponyville. Do you know why they came here, or even where they came from?"
Both Twilight and Cornelius grimaced. They looked at each other, nodded, then Cornelius began to explain, "We...don't. Well, it would be more accurate to say that we don't know much."
"We know that they likely came from the Digital World, and that they came here on behalf of the 'Dark Area Invasion Army'," Twilight wrote the name out on the whiteboard, brows furrowed in contemplation, "Whatever that means. We can assume they got here the same way that our Digimon did. This implies that there must be a method for Digimon to transport themselves between here and the Digital World. But..."
"We are completely in the dark as to how that is possible. And that is, unfortunately, our fault," Cornelius put a hand on his head in frustration, "Our memories of our time in the Digital World are...limited to say the least. Though it seems that we gain more of them as we reach higher stages, as I certainly remember more about our home than when I was a Baby or Rookie. I can even recall how some of the natural processes work. But...I can't recall what this 'Dark Area' is, or where their 'Invasion Army' came from."
"All we know is that this likely isn't the last we've seen of them. They made it very clear that their plan was to take over not just Ponyville, but all of Equestria. And I doubt they'd feel that confident if a couple of Rookie Stage Digimon were all they had in their forces," the two's conclusion made the mood in the room drop quite a bit. Celestia looked pensive, Fluttershy was shaking so much Lucey had to hold her in place, and Spike was hugging Babs to calm himself down. The only ones not feeling down were Pinkie Pie and Cutie, as the latter checked the former's mane for something to improve the mood.
However, before they could do anything, a small, squeaky voice spoke up from somewhere, "E-E-Excuse m-m-me."
Everypony searched for the source of the sound, not seeing anypony it could have come from. That is, until Celestia noticed a small light glowing next to her right hoof. Everypony followed her gaze to see a Baby Digimon standing next to her. She smiled down at the orange Digimon, "Well, hello there. And who would you be, little one?"
"I-I-I-I'm Sunmon," the orange Digimon said, the flame on his head wavering as he looked up at Princess Celestia, "A-A-Are you the Princess who raises the s-s-sun every day?"
"Why, yes, indeed I am. Princess Celestia, at your service."
Sunmon's flame increased in size slightly, his voice shaking as he tilted his head up to meet Princess Celestia, "W-W-Wow! You're really tall a-a-and pretty."
Princess Celestia giggled, then patted Sunmon's head with her hoof, "Your compliments are most welcome, Sunmon. I also think you look rather cute. Hmm, that flame atop your head. Is it real fire?"
"N-No! It's part of my body! It's my way of representing the sun. Because...I...I really like the sun. It lights up the whole world, warms ponies up when they're cold, helps plants grow, and...and...um...lots of...stuff," a blush somehow came over Sunmon's face and only grew redder as he kept talking.
Celestia's smile remained as she lowered her head and lightly kissed Sunmon's cheek. The Baby Digimon froze in place as she said, "Well said. I hope I can live up to your great expectations, Little Sun."
"L-L-Little-!" Sunmon's flame suddenly shot up, then got smaller as steam came out of the top of his head. His eyes rolled back as his lips curled into a dopey smile. With a happy sigh, he fell back and hit the floor, giggling and repeating what Celestia said over and over again.
Pinkie Pie, Cutie, and Spike all started laughing at the reaction, while Fluttershy got up to check on the fallen Baby Digimon. Babs, after seeing Spike laughing, also began to openly laugh at the display. Princess Celestia placed a hoof over her mouth as she stood up and moved her empty plate to the side. She looked over at Twilight and said, "You have done well, Twilight Sparkle. You too, Cornelius. You have given me much to think about and look into. I assure you that I will do everything in my power to find where this Invasion Army came from. In the meantime, I believe you all should take the time to introduce your Digimon to the rest of Ponyville. You can never have too many good friends."
"As you say, Princess," Twilight and Cornelius bowed to Celestia. The Princess reciprocated the gesture before her horn lit up, and she vanished in a flash of golden light. As soon as she disappeared, Twilight collapsed to the floor, panting heavily. Her eyelids drooped, and she gazed up at Cornelius, saying, "Th-Thank goodness. I-I-I don't know how much longer I could've gone for. I-I feel so tired."
Cornelius crouched low and picked Twilight up in his arms, "I understand. I'll take you to bed. Thank you for coming by, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Lucey, Cutie. I hope you all have a good day. Come along, Spike, Babs. Once I put Twilight to bed, I'll need you two to help me organize all these scrolls and books."
"R-Right, right. Come on, Babs," Spike said between chuckles as he got to his feet. Babs did the same, and the two dragons followed Cornelius up the stairs to Twilight's bed.
"Come on, Cutie! We need to get everypony's evolution parties ready!" Pinkie said as she bounced toward the door. Cutie followed behind, keeping pace with the party pony while checking her inventory.
"It seems that he will be alright," Lucey said as he and Fluttershy laid a passed-out Sunmon down on a nearby pillow, "Shall we return home as well? I believe that Angel will need his daily fluffing soon."
"Oh, you're right, Lucey," Fluttershy said as she flapped her wings, "Um, lets go home. Goodbye, Twilight, Cornelius, Spike, Babs, Pinkie Pie, Cutie."
"Farewell, everypony," Lucemon said as he took to the air with Fluttershy. The two hovered their way out of the room and into Ponyville beyond.
Finally got this finished! Jesus! Sorry it took so long. This being a transitory Chapter and my new strategy of working on one of my writing projects per week made it difficult for me to write. Not to mention that I got sick at the start of this week, which made things even worse!
Other than that, I hope you all enjoy and I would like you to know I have finished Season 3 and have just finished the first two episodes of Season 4.
Huh didn't know you were an mlp fan. Learn something new everyday. Gotta say this is interesting from what I've read well heres hoping you recover quickly Link best of wishes.
