Fan:Olympos XII: Legacy

The Digimon Spin-Off: Olympos XII: Legacy (simply known as Olympos XII: Legacy) is a fanon live-action film idea created by CAJH. It is the nineteenth installment of the fanfictional media franchise idea known as the Digiversum. The story is revolved around Olympos XII, explaining more details about its history between the Dark Wave and the Reconfiguration as well as how it attempts to restore itself after the Reconfiguration. The film was announced in May 21, 2017 and its synopsis was released in December 30, 2017.

In the Digiversum, a world called Iliad has been attempting to restore itself before two Digi-Eggs end up into the real world. The two Digimon that hatch from these eggs become connected with son of an archaeologist and a tourist girl. But some members of Iliad's ruling body get involved when their opinions about them connecting with humans are starting to conflict.

Synopsis
(Only the most important details of the plot are written in here, minor details can be imagined by readers themselves. The same thing goes for any possible quotes from the dialogue.)

Reopening of the portal
The Olympos XII is a group of Mega Level Digimon who are based on Olympian Gods of Ancient Greek and Roman mythology. They are led by Jupitermon who wanted to keep the group out of problems from other worlds, wanting to keep their own world Iliad safe. They had cut off all connection right before the Dark Wave had hit on the Digiversum. However, they had three of their own before that. Dianamon was killed before the connection was cut while Apollomon and Minervamon had been left behind. Jupitermon didn't even want to know what had happened and refused to let anyone reopen the portals.

After several years, a Digimon named Mervamon found its way into Iliad through a portal that had suddenly appeared. After proving her identity as mutated form of Minervamon, she gave the Digi-Egg of Apollomon to them. Junomon, Jupitermon's partner was also taking care of Dianamon's Digi-Egg that has not been hatched. Jupitermon was happy that he had two lost members back, but said that Mervamon should have waited until it would be safe again, since the Seven Great Demon Lords of Deadly Sins were still alive. One year later, the Great Demon Lords were defeated, and Yggdrasill began the Reconfiguration. Jupitermon allowed the portals to be reopened. But one member of the Olympos XII was against it: Mercurimon. He was distrustful of humans and was afraid that Iliad would be invaded. When Jupitermon reopened the portal, Mercurimon stole the Digi-Eggs of Apollomon and Dianamon, but when arrested by Jupitermon, the eggs fell into a portal that led into the real world.

Three years later
Mercurimon had been kept imprisoned ever since he had resisted Jupitermon's actions. Once per year Jupitermon makes a judgement about whether Mercurimon can be forgiven and released or not. Today was the day when it was time to judge Mercurimon once again. He was brought before Jupitermon and Junomon who wanted to hear Mercurimon say if he has come to regret his actions. The two could easily detect if he was lying or not. Mercurimon said the same thing he has said every previous trial. He claimed that the humans were responsible for the state of the Digiversum as without it wouldn't even exist. He knows that the Descending would have destroyed the Olympos XII as well but would have also given the Digimon a chance to exist without help of humans. Jupitermon saw no reason to attack humanity and deemed Mercurimon's actions too extreme, telling him to wait another year in prison.

Mercurimon, however, was surprisingly confident. That was when Jupitermon felt that Iliad had been invaded. There was scent of death and black fog appeared into the temple of the Olympos XII. The fog weakened the chains so much that Mercurimon could break them. Jupitermon tried to chain him again, but Mercurimon, who was known as the fastest member of the Olympos XII, managed to escape. Jupitermon decided to contact his "operative" about Mercurimon's escape and knew that "the original betrayer" had returned to Iliad.

In Greece
A group of archaeologists are excavating. They have found a cave they never thought would exist and after further analyzing, the cave was revealed to be only three years old. This revelation conflicted with what Dr. Ulysses Theodorakis, the leader of the archaeologists, had heard. He was told that no construction work has been done on the area, but such large cave could have never been born in such short time. Ulysses' son Nikos was also allowed to be in the area along with the archaeologists. He suspected that there must have been a conspiracy in the city, something that he knew often happened in books and movies. Ulysses thought his son watched them too often and believed the reason to be something else. He wanted geologists to explore the cave and determine how it was born. When some of the archaeologists and geologists started to walk inside, something in the deep of the cave awoke. One was glowing fire-red and the other one was glowing indigo.

Mervamon's quest
A mysterious woman with green-dyed hair was wandering in Greece. She asked information about the archaeologists who had found the cave by speaking fluent modern Greek. But she was often brushed off and people kept looking at her, because of her hair. The woman was Mervamon who was using modern human clothes as a disguise to safely look for the Digi-Eggs of Apollomon and Dianamon. She knew that they had ended up somewhere in Greece, the country which mythology had helped the collective unconsciousness and the Digiversum to create the Olympos XII. It was not just a coincidence that from all the places the two lost Digi-Eggs would end up there.

At the same moment when the glowing figures appeared in the deep of the cave found by Ulysses, Mervamon sensed something. She realized that the eggs had hatched by themselves, but also sensed that there was something else in Greece as well. It was something very bad. But now that she knew where the two lost reincarnations of Apollomon and Dianamon were, she just needed to reach them and take them back into Iliad.

Meeting the tourists
While Ulysses Theodorakis remained in the archaeological excavation site, Nikos decided to go spend time in the town, which was often visited by tourists. A family of British tourists was also visiting it. Their daughter Chloe Stanton had always been an outsider of her regular crowd. She liked visiting local attractions even more than shopping, swimming or sunbathing. But when she was having a small break from touring, she bumped into Nikos. Nikos understood English and happily acquainted himself with Chloe. Chloe was unhappy that Nikos didn't enjoy his time archaeology like his father. Nikos claimed that real-life archaeology was completely from what was shown in fictional work. But Chloe wanted to see what real-life archaeology truly was, instead of merely hearing about it from a son of an archaeologist.

Chloe's parents were immediately impressed by Nikos and felt that he was Greek and therefore not a possible boyfriend candidate. Chloe felt irritated by this talk, since she barely even knew the boy. Nikos, however, said that he simply tried to be friendly rather than seek a girlfriend. He even denied wanting anything from Chloe anymore, since she had different opinion about art and archeology than he had. Chloe wasn't happy when she heard this. The two started to treat themselves as opposites and parted in ways. But elsewhere, a small red Digimon felt Nikos' reaction while a small purple Digimon felt Chloe's reaction. Mervamon felt this as well and recognized that another surprise had happened in the history of the Digiversum.

Coronamon and Lunamon
The small red Digimon and the small purple Digimon immediately started to follow their mysterious instinct to reach Nikos and Chloe, feeling a mysterious attachment to them. Chloe and her parents had returned to hotel and Chloe herself felt something. She left the suite to find out what is calling her, despite her parents' objection. Elsewhere, Nikos felt something too and left his home. His father was busy, so Nikos could leave without him noticing. At their respective locations, they both immediately found the two Digimon. These two could only say their own names even though they were both Rookie Level Digimon. The purple one was named Lunamon and the red one was named Coronamon. Chloe and Nikos knew that what they saw were Digimon, but wondered what they were doing in Greece. They tried touching them and both Lunamon and Coronamon started to form beautiful light phenomenon. The center of this phenomenon appeared between the current locations of Chloe and Nikos. They decided to make their way, not yet knowing that they were both involved in this. Ulysses Theodorakis and Chloe's parents noticed the phenomenon as well and ran towards its center too. When Nikos and Chloe finally met, they asked from each other why were they here. They watched at Coronamon and Lunamon who were still glowing with glowing marks appearing around bodies of Nikos and Chloe. Their parents arrived and demanded an explanation.

Alliance of Mercurimon and Plutomon
Mercurimon had gone in hiding into the real world. He had sensed that Coronamon and Lunamon were found and warned his accomplice that they need to act quickly before the two Rookie Level Digimon learn to evolve into their Mega forms once again. The accomplice was Plutomon, a Digimon who was forbidden to join into the Olympos XII and exiled from Iliad. He was the "original betrayer" Jupiter referred to and was now forced live in darkness and connected to the portal into the Dark Area, which was more than just a prison for the Seven Great Demon Lords.

Plutomon had sensed that Coronamon and Lunamon had become connected with humans. Mercurimon was disappointed that the two had become Partner Digimon, but Plutomon was sure that this time it was not that kind of bond between Digimon and humans. Mercurimon reminds Plutomon that he only agreed to work together with him, because Jupitermon was not willing to go as far as they would. Plutomon, however, made clear that no other member of the Olympos XII than Jupitermon, not even Mercurimon, was as powerful as he was. It was Mercurimon who needed to obey Plutomon and not the other way around.

Family affairs with the Digimon
Ulysses was keeping Nikos and Chloe in his office and wanted answers to his questions. Where and why did these Digimon appear before them? None of the two could give a clear answer, since they didn't even know each other before this day and came from separate countries. Ulysses had no way to find the answer himself. He was an archeologist who had no knowledge of the Digimon. He decided to contact the Network Europe office and ask their help. But when tried to call, there was a disturbance. He couldn't use his phone at all. Even the email and other communication methods were unusable. There was normal weather outside, so it shouldn't affect at all. Ulysses went to check the cables and the router of the network. But when he went inside, a blackout happened.

Mervamon explains
While Ulysses is away from the room, someone sneaked into where Nikos and Chloe are. It was Mervamon. Coronamon and Lunamon slowly approached her, while Nikos, Chloe and Chloe's parents watched with fear that they'll be hurt. But Mervamon explained that she is an ally. She also says how this is not the first time she has worked with humans. Chloe asks what this is all about so Mervamon decides to tell them about Olympos XII.

The group ruled a world in the Digiversum known as Iliad. The group was formed by twelve Digimon based on Olympian Gods from the Ancient Greek mythology: Jupitermon, Junomon, Bacchusmon, Minervamon, Apollomon, Dianamon, Neptunemon, Venusmon, Vulcanusmon, Mercurimon, Marsmon and Ceresmon. Jupitermon had set certain limitations to how they can affect with the affairs of other worlds of the Digiversum. There was also a Digimon named Plutomon who was forbidden from joining the group because of his cruelty. But when the Dark Wave threatened the Digiversum, Iliad was shut off from other worlds. Dianamon, however, had been killed while Apollomon and Minervamon were trapped in one of the colonies that became the DigiFuse Zones. Minervamon had mutated into Mervamon while Apollomon was corrupted and forced to be killed. When the Reconfiguration made the Digiversum habitable again, Mercurimon felt hatred for humans and refused to allow the connection into other worlds to be reopened. That was when the eggs of Apollomon and Dianamon ended up into the real world where Mervamon followed them.

But the question was: why Coronamon and Lunamon, the reincarnations of Apollomon and Dianamon, felt affection towards Nikos and Chloe? That was something Mervamon didn't know at all. She, however, knew that Plutomon had returned and that Mercurimon was seeking his help to destroy humanity. But Plutomon was so cruel and vengeful that there was a danger for the archenemy of the Olympos XII to be released from his prison: Titamon, a Digimon that was based on Titans, parents of the Olympian Gods who in the Ancient Greek mythology were overthrown by their children and thrown into Tartarus.

Beginning of the ritual
Plutomon was aware of where Coronamon, Lunamon and Mervamon were. He had sent one of his own minions to deal with them while he and Mercurimon were planning for the ritual to release Titamon. The prison was made by each member of the Olympos XII and the common understanding was the key to form it. But simply disagreeing doesn't break the seal. Mercurimon must show hate not only for humanity but for the other members of the Olympos XII. Mercurimon doesn't want to kill the other members of his group and only wants Titamon to punish humanity. If Plutomon would try to break his promise and attack Jupitermon, Mercurimon would immediately turn against Plutomon and help Jupitermon defeat him. Plutomon didn't threaten back this time, but had a threatening look on his face. Now Mercurimon just needed to release his anger and strike at the seal that had appeared in the Acropolis of Athens. Plutomon had protected the area with an invisible force field, planning to break it only after Titamon had returned.

Attack of the Cerberumon
Ulysses returned to his office and after seeing Mervamon he deduced her being the one behind the disturbance. Mervamon simply wanted to get inside to warn them and help them, but Ulysses didn't trust her. Chloe, however, trusted Mervamon and told Ulysses not to drive her away from the office. But Ulysses had seen a monster approaching the building. Mervamon checked it out and realized that it was Cerberumon, a Digimon based on Cerberusmon and was part of Plutomon's evolutionary line. This one, however, was just Plutomon's servant. Mervamon went to face it, hoping to ensure that it won't come inside and hurt Coronamon and Lunamon. But after Mervamon went, Coronamon and Lunamon followed her, forcing Nikos and Chloe leave the office as well.

Cerberumon fought with Mervamon who had strength to stand against it, due to her being a mutation of Mega Level Digimon. When Coronamon and Lunamon appeared, Mervamon tried to prevent them from fighting, believing that the two were not powerful enough against an Ultimate Level Digimon. But then bodies of Nikos and Chloe were enshrouded in glowing symbols. Coronamon and Lunamon started to glow as well, and they evolved to their Champion forms: Firamon and Lekismon. Firamon and Lekismon were able to weaken Cerberumon, but not defeat it. Mervamon, however, was able to destroy it and save the two. But she was amazed that Coronamon and Lunamon evolved. Nikos and Chloe had no Digivices, so they didn't become Tamers. A same kind of power, however, must have activated the evolution.

Two halves of each other
Ulysses was told about what had happened and Mervamon told him everything she had told others. Mervamon assured him that the only they could do was to see how Firamon and Lekismon would evolve further from now on. Whether Nikos and Chloe would be forced to become Tamers or not was yet to be seen. Ulysses and Chloe's parents had no choice but to trust Mervamon's words.

Meanwhile, Nikos and Chloe were watching at the Mediterranean Sea at the shores. The two were thinking about their powers and how their different personalities affect their situation and future. Firamon and Lekismon had not degenerated like the Partner Digimon usually do. The glowing symbols in their bodies started pulsing every time they spoke about their differences. They noticed this with Firamon and Lekismon glowing again. However, this light wasn't evolution light. Instead, the two Digimon released powerful light phenomenon into the sky. Nikos and Chloe both considered it beautiful. They even started to dance while seeing it, which made the phenomenon even brighter. Plutomon and Mercurimon saw the phenomenon from their hideout and decided that in the morning they needed to unleash Titamon and start their mission to invade the real world.

Titamon's release
In the morning, Ulysses, Nikos and the Stanton family felt an earthquake. Mervamon arrived and noticed that the worst fear of Olympos XII had come true: Titamon was about to be released from its prison. Nikos and Chloe could not find Firamon and Lekismon anywhere. Mervamon suspected that they had already left to confront the enemy. But without Nikos and Chloe they wouldn't be powerful enough against their enemy. Then Mervamon and the two went to find Firamon and Lekismon.

Mercurimon said all the reasons he hated humanity and said how he also hated the other members of Olympos XII for not listening him. Plutomon smiled and channeled all this hate into the seal. The seal broke into bits and released large amount of smoke before data particles appeared and started to form a giant body of a Digimon. It was a green giant with a large bone sword and armor made of bones. Civilians and even the police had not seen anything unusual before this and the city fell into panic. Titamon saw humans and decided to attack them first. Firamon and Lekismon attacked it, but Titamon easily threw them aside. At that moment, Nikos and Chloe arrived and the two Digimon started to glow. During last night, the two had learned to make their power develop further, allowing Firamon and Lekismon to evolve into their Ultimate forms: Flaremon and Crescemon.

Confrontation of the Olympian ideals
In Iliad, Jupitermon and Junomon found out what had happened and immediately decided to go to the real world to confront Mercurimon and Plutomon. When that happened, Mercurimon immediately clashed with them, claiming that he simply did what Olympos XII had been willing to do. Jupitermon said that normally Iliad should not be in contact with other worlds' business, but Mercurimon caused the real world to become with Iliad's problems. Plutomon interrupted and told Titamon to attack. Titamon did what Plutomon told, but it also threw Plutomon aside, refusing to take orders from anyone. Plutomon wasn't bothered by this since Titamon was only interested about causing destruction and killing members of Olympos XII.

Mercurimon reminded Plutomon that he never wanted the other members of Olympos XII to die, but Plutomon said how Mercurimon should have expected the betrayal all along. Mercurimon felt ashamed of having believed that Plutomon would keep his promise and lost fighting-spirit with Plutomon starting to brutally torture him. Plutomon said how he would merely take away Jupitermon's place as the punisher away saying that Mercurimon's wish would come true even if Olympos XII would be destroyed. Jupitermon said that Plutomon only became over-powerful because of previous incarnations of Apollomon and Dianamon had died outside of Iliad. Plutomon's true motive was to expand his power over the death in Iliad and the whole Digiversum itself.

Ulysses arrived and though he didn't understand the Digimon or the Digiversum, he understood that god of underworld was as important part of Olympian Gods in Greek mythology as much as in Iliad. Plutomon had to be defeated, but not killed. But Nikos and Chloe had one problem: they needed to make Flaremon and Crescemon evolve into their Mega forms or they wouldn't be able to stop Plutomon and Titamon.

Full Olympian power awakens
Plutomon fights Jupitermon, but also taunts Junomon, reminding that there is an evil side inside her. Jupitermon had no idea what Plutomon was talking about, but Plutomon reminded that since Junomon was based on Hera from Greek mythology and her Roman equivalent Juno, Junomon suffered from jealousy and sometimes overcome by it. Plutomon then reminded how Jupitermon was not acting like he would be faithful to his companion, this starts to remind Junomon about her previous unpleasant feelings. Junomon starts to change into more violent form, making Jupitermon see her for the first time.

Nikos and Chloe see this and agree that there has to be compromise if teamwork and companionship would ever work. They already had a slight understanding about the matter, which allowed Coronamon and Lunamon evolve in the first place. Now that they had reached their resolve, Flaremon and Crescemon started to glow evolution light once again. They evolved into Apollomon and Dianamon, regaining their former powers and memories as well. The two launched powerful attacks against Plutomon, though they couldn't wound him. Titamon was not affected by them at all. Mervamon tried to convince Mercurimon come to his senses, saying that the positive traits of humanity are what allowed Apollomon and Dianamon to evolve back into their full power after their rebirth. And now they needed to prevent Junomon's corruption and defeat both Plutomon and Titamon. Mercurimon and Mervamon then both attacked Titamon and sent a distress signal into Iliad to alert rest of the Olympos XII.

Then, a glowing circle appeared above sky. It was a portal into Iliad and silhouettes of the six other members of Olympos XII were seen. Mervamon, Miercurimon, Apollomon and Dianamon felt empowered, but Junomon was still under the influence of her bad memories, making her change into Hysteric Mode. Plutomon laughed and claimed that without all twelve cooperating, Titamon would never be returned to its prison.

Plutomon's defeat
Junomon Hysteric Mode attacked Jupitermon and revealed all the times, she had seen Jupitermon making decisions and being involved with something she never approved. Jupitermon had no way of knowing what to do to calm Junomon, since he had never been forced to judge her. Apollomon and Diamaon then came and explained how Nikos and Chloe were able to work together despite their different personalities. The two had reached a decision to work together because they knew that compromises are the only way for everyone to get at least something of what they want. After hearing this, even Jupitermon agrees and decides to apologize from past. This action makes Junomon's mask shatter, freeing her from corruption and returning her from Hysteric Mode into her regular form.

With all twelve members of OlymposXII working together again, they moved the circle above Titamon, stopping the giant Digimon from moving. Plutomon tried to free it, but was not powerful enough. Then, another portal opened and Titamon was being pulled there. Titamon would die if it would go through it and while it would be reborn, it would not be able to free itself without help. Jupitermon gave Plutomon a choice to give up his quest for power and return to his original role, which included guarding Titamon's seal. Plutomon immediately refused. The members of Olympos XII were ready to launch an attack to potentially destroy Plutomon. But since Ulysses had reminded about the role Hades and Pluto had in Greek and Roman mythologies, Plutomon would be reborn and the rebirth would serve as a reminder for him not to try to expand his power again. With this resolve, the members of Olympos XII launched the attack and destroyed Plutomon's body with the data particles of it flowing into the same portal than Titamon. Both Plutomon and Titamon had been defeated.

Promises
In the morning, the glowing symbols had disappeared from Nikos' and Chloe's bodies. Their part in all of this was now done. Jupitermon and Junomon had learned a thing or two about companionship from them as well. Jupitermon promised that Junomon would never change into Hysteric Mode without him noticing it. Despite the Digimon not being like humans, it did resemble something like a romance. Nikos and Cloe were teased about being possibly in love with each other, but the two denied it. However, the two decided to stay as friends and promised to meet again one day. Chloe and her parents would return to England in few days, but Nikos gave Chloe a gift as a reminder for their adventure. Chloe promised that she would send a gift from England after she would return there. The type of the bond they share was unspecified, but they would not allow it to break. The members of Olympos XII returned to Iliad to complete its restoration now that all members were in full power again. And inspired by these events, Ulysses decides to apply as a consultant to the Network, hoping to discover more connections between human mythology and the Digimon species and groups.

Trivia

 * The subtitle Legacy refers to multiple things: the rebirth of Apollomon and Dianamon and them becoming able to carry out their work once again as well as how the Olympos XII had its glory days years ago and how their lives have changed after that.
 * The main focuses of this film are how humans learn to live with their differences and that is the key to restore the Olympos XII to their full power.
 * The film acts partly as a follow-up for DigiFuse: The Omega Crusade and Digimon: The Descending  since it explains details aboutlives of Mervamon and Apollomon after the events of these films. But no details of Mervamon's or Apollomon's history during the previous installments of Digiversum are explained straightly, in order to make the film more separate from DigiFuse films.
 * None of the human characters of this film are based on real-life anime, manga or video game characters.
 * Whether Nikos and Chloe ever became a couple and the details about the past of Jupitermon and Junomon was purposely left unanswered in order to avoid making the film too romantic.
 * Ignitemon does not appear in the film, since there was found no suitable role for him.
 * Mercurimon (Merukimon in English dub) staring as an antagonist was inspired by his role in real-life anime Digimon Data Squad.
 * This film is almost as much short as Terriermon, due to lack of inspiration before the third act or the small amount of characters.
