Okay, yes, I've rewritten this fanfic of mine. It's slightly better in that I've added some more details and fixed some of the grammatical errors. Who's to say that there may still be some? I'm sorry if you were hoping for a sixth chapter but I thought that starting over after so many years was better than taking a stab at the old version. The old version is still there if you want to check it out but hopefully I'll be inclined to truly work on this new version. I hope you like what little I've added. Please Read and Review.

Disclaimer: I own none of the characters from the actual shows except for the ones that you have no clue about.

Chapter 1

A small breeze ran across the data filled grass. The wind brushed against the group of kids lying on the ground completely exhausted from their recent escape. One fidgeted on the ground as his eyes opened to the new day. Koichi slowly sat up and looked around at what was left of the Digital World. He looked to the boy nearby and smiled at the sight of his twin brother. He stared at the trees and noticed that slowly they were beginning to change for the worse. It was no longer the once happy place that they had once strived to save.

All of the areas the Royal Knights had taken the data from had returned to its original state after Lucemon created his ideal world. The outer shell of the world looked peaceful and calm but that only hid the fact that its new ruler forced his control on all of his subjects. The Digimon that followed him loyally were given the chance to enslave the innocent and peaceful friends the children had once made. The only thing the children were able to do was to keep the evil ruler from seizing control of their own world. This left them with no energy left to destroy him. The hardship of failing everyone hit them the hardest.

Bokomon stirred awake and quickly took notice upon Koichi. A bit of sadness filled his face remembering the truth the other had learned. The truth being that Koichi was only a ghost within the Digital World. This fact made known by the late Crusadermon.

One by one the group of nine awoke to the new day. Tommy, the last to awake, was awoken by J.P. through many shakes of the shoulder. Takuya let out a great big yawn as he rose to his feet. He raised his arms into the air stretching them as far out as he could.

Koji looked to his brother and gave him a smile to cheer him up. "What's wrong, Koichi? Is something bothering you?"

Koichi stared at his brother and slowly looked away. "I'm fine. There's nothing for you to worry about. I'm just wondering how we can save this world."

"So how do we do it? We've tried our hardest to defeat Lucemon and we failed. He's made his wish come true by making the Digital World the way it is now," J.P. argued as he took a bite out of a chocolate bar.

"What can we do now?" Takuya said as he stared at the ground. He tightened his fists as his body tensed up. "We can't give up now after all the things we've gone through. We've been through so much, and we can't just throw in the towel after what has happened between Lucemon and us. We will find a way to beat him. I just know it. We've always found a way to win in the past."

"He's right! If we stick together, we will find a way!" Zoe spoke up.

The group of nine raised their hands in the air and cheered for a future victory in their favor. Koichi slowly put his hand to his side. {I hope we can win…}


Lucemon gave a faint smile as he sat in what appeared to be his throne. The scenery behind him was pitch black with stone debris floating around. He looked down the stairs that led up to where he sat in his thrown to the ten figures that knelt down each on one knee.

"You know what I want. You know what you have to do," Lucemon said as his hand pointed at two of the ten. "You two."

The two stood to their feet and gave a bow. One of them disappeared and the other waited for a moment as Lucemon spoke, "It's good of you to wait for me to give you a purpose in this task. Bring me the one who holds the light spirit and then do what your spirit form is best meant for."

The silhouette of the figure gave another bow and disappeared into the darkness.


Takuya led the way as the group walked through the Forest Terminal. The area was completely quiet besides the usual shuffle of the leaves due to wind. It was empty even though it was just the start of a new day.

Koichi and Koji walked together at the back of the group. The silence between the two was getting at Koji. He looked to his brother and forced on a smile. "I'm glad that we met each other here. I would have gone on living without knowing that our mom was still alive. I'm glad you're my brother Koichi."

Koichi stared at his brother and gave him a faint smile. {How can I tell him…..How can I tell him that I'm not really here like he and everyone else are?} His attention went to the others as noticed the distance they were making from the group.

"Come on, Koji, let's catch up to the others," Koichi smiled as he began to run toward them. His eyes showed his sadness while his mouth plastered on that forced smile. "We don't want to get separ-"

He stopped suddenly just barely missing the spear that was thrown into ground before him. His eyes grew wide as his body lost its body and fell to the ground. His eyes darted across the area trying to find the source of where the spear appeared.

Koji hectically ran over to his brother's side. "Koichi!"

The others looked back in utter surprise. They were about to start running toward the two when the spear disintegrated the ground between the them. The small quake caused everyone to lose balance and fall to the ground.

Laughter filled the area as both Koji and Kouichi caught sight of a dark figure floating in the sky. The dark figure descended to the ground beside the two and retrieved his spear which had managed to stay standing through the small quake. His armor was pitch black and seemed to fight back against the day. The helmet resembled that of Lobomon's in that it shielded the eyes but left the area for the mouth open.

"Who are you?" Koji questioned. He staggered to his feet as he pulled his brother up with him.

The dark figure ignored Koji as if he had never said anything. His attention focused on Takuya and the others who managed to stagger to their feet. He gave a big smirk as he held out his arm and aimed his spear toward them. "Experience the wrath of Lord Lucemon!"

Streams of black light escaped from the tip of the spear and quickly headed straight for the group. The streams of black light wrapped themselves tightly around the kids and made sure to keep them from moving around.

"Ah! I can't get free!" Takuya argued as he twisted his wrists against the black light that was just as strong as any rope. "Grr!!"

Koji and Koichi just stood there watching. Anger filled their faces as they looked to each other and nodded.

"Spirit Evolution!" Koichi yelled. The data formed around his body as armor was formed. He soon landed to his feet and yelled, "Lowemon!"

"Fusion Evolution!" Koji yelled as both the human spirit and the beast spirit fused around him to form, "Beowolfmon!"

The two pulled out their weapons and stood their ground ready to attack. The dark figure just smiled at them as he aimed his spear toward them. The end of the spear began to spark but quickly ceased once a second figure appeared.

"I was beginning to wonder when you were going to show up. Did Lord Lucemon say anything to you?" the dark figure asked with his spear still aimed at the twins.

The second figure's armor greatly contrasted with the others in that it was as white as snow. His helmet was also different in that it resembled Lowemon's. The helmet shielded his mouth but allowed his emotionless eyes to be clearly seen by all. On the outer side of both of his legs, two hilts were openly shown. The armor surrounding his left shoulder was thicker and larger then the right shoulder. His gaze turned to the two twins with cold sapphire eyes and then to who appeared to be his companion.

The second figure slowly pulled out the sword by his right leg. ".........light..."

The dark figure gave a small laugh and said, "So, I guess I'm just the distraction? Fine by me. Aahh!!"

The dark figure ran straight towards Koichi and slammed his spear against the side of the other's body causing him to hit the ground. He spun his spear around and began to stab at the ground where he had forced Koichi to lay and missed numerous times. Koichi struggled to dodge the oncoming attacks by blocking as many as he could with his own spear. He let out a small cry of pain as he felt his shoulder nipped. {Damn it….I have to fight back!!}

"Koichi!!" Koji yelled as he ran in the direction of his brother. He was about to reach his brother until the second figure appeared before him. He was quickly bombarded with attacks from the second figure. He tried his best to block with his saber but was stabbed many times by the enemy's sword that easily pierced though his armor.

The second figure swiftly jumped back from Koji and gently slid his sword back in the sheath on his right leg. His eyes quickly turned toward his comrade.

The dark figure laughed as he caught sight of Beowolfmon falling to the ground. His laughing grew louder as Beowolfmon returned to his human state. "Now, that was just too easy."

The second figure looked back over to Koji and began to walk over to him.

"Koji!" the restrained group yelled. They struggled more then ever to try and break the black light. Tommy and J.P. were only just some of the only ones that resorted to using their own teeth.

Koichi narrowed his eyes and jumped at the dark figure that was no longer paying any attention to him. He used every bit of strength he had left. It was enough to throw the dark figure off balance. He used this small amount of time to run to his brother and was about to pick him up when a hand appeared on his shoulder.

Koichi's eyes widened as he stared directly into the eyes of the second figure. His teeth gritted together as he felt as if his armor was being crushed beneath the second figure's hand. The hand tightened even more as he felt his body easily thrown back with so much force to break through five trees. His body lay there motionless as the pain overwhelmed him.

"Koichi!! If only I could get free from these beams!" Takuya yelled as he resorted to biting at the black light.

The second figure looked back at Koichi to make sure he no longer moved and then looked down at Koji. He knelt down and gently took Koji into his arms as he stood to his feet.

"Koichi, get up!! You have to save Koji!!" everyone yelled as they rolled around and squirmed to get over to fight even in that condition.

"He can't hear you! It's useless to waste your voices like that," the dark first figure laughed. He tightened his grip on his spear and sliced at the air. The slash it created transformed into a dark portal that seemed to lead to complete nothingness. "Let's go."

The second figure held Koji tightly in his arms as he walked through the portal.

Before the dark figure passed through it, he snapped his fingers releasing Takuya and the others from the black light. "Now, don't say I never did anything for you." He let out another laugh as he walked through the portal which disappeared behind him.

Everyone sat there stunned and quiet at the fact that they lost their friend. "That just didn't happen."

Takuya jumped to his feet and just ran to create momentum to get over the hole that the dark enemy's spear had created. He slammed against the ground and dug his feet into the ground as he ran over to Koichi who had evidently returned to his human form. He held out his hand and hesitated before he gently shook his friend up.

Koichi eyes slowly opened. They quickly widened as he remembered the fight he was just in. He forced himself to sit up and immediately felt the bruising and wounds that he had received. His eyes hectically looked around the area and noticed that the others were walking toward him. His breathing began to speed up as his body began to shake. "W-where's…..Koji?"

Takuya looked to the side. His hands clenched into fists as he whispered, "Those Digimon….They took him."


The two figures appeared in front of Lucemon from the darkness. The dark figure quickly knelt down on one knee as the other stayed standing. His emotionless eyes staring straight at the ground.

Lucemon smiled as he walked down the stairs that led up his own throne. He stopped in front of the one who stood standing and stared at Koji which he held in his arms. "So, you have succeeded in bringing me what I asked. Now do what you're best at.........Memoramon."
