~Prologue~
It has been four years since the original Digidestines' adventures in the Digital World. Each of them has grown up a lot since then. Tai Kamiya is in high school. Matt Ishida is trying to be a rockstar. Sora Takenouchi has become quite the tennis player. Izzy Izumi is in high school too. Mimi Tachikawa moved to New York with her folks. Joe Kido is still studying to become a doctor. Kari Kamiya, TK Takaishi, and Sakura Fue are in middle school. Although their adventures in the Digital World had ended, they all knew that they would be able to see their partner Digimon someday. Little do they know, someday might come sooner than expected.
~Present~
"Run away! It's the Digimon Emperor!" called out one of the Digimon in the area in fear as Dark Rings was seen flying across the sky. Evil laughter can be heard throughout the area. Some Digimon were lucky to have gotten away, but some weren't as lucky and got a Dark Ring attached to them, becoming a slave to the Digimon Emperor.
Panting was heard from a feline Digimon, known as Gatomon, as she was running away from a Dark Ring that was on her tail, figuratively speaking. Gatomon was Kari's partner Digimon. As the Dark Ring flew closer, Gatomon uses her tail ring to deflect it, saving her from becoming a slave to the Digimon Emperor. She breathed a sigh of relief when she sees the Dark Ring fall onto the ground, lifeless.
It was too early to let her guard down as she heard rustling coming from behind her. As she turned around, she caught sight of red eyes in the darkness of the bushes just before the creature behind the eyes came out, revealing that it was a Unimon. She notices that it was being controlled by the Digimon Emperor from the Dark Ring attached to it, but reacted too late as Unimon sent an attack at her.
The attack hit her and sent her flying towards a tree, hitting it, and landing on the ground. She was a bit groggy from the attack, but came to her senses as she saw a shadow towering over her. She opens her eyes and sees Unimon about to stomp on her with its feet. This time, she was able to react quickly and rolled out of the way just before it landed on her, but at the cost of her tail ring, which slipped off her tail as she was rolling away. She wanted to get it back, but didn't get a chance to due to Unimon being there and it sending another attack her way, causing her to run away, leaving the ring behind.
~In the Human World~
Beeping could be heard in every room in the apartment in which Sakura and her family resides in. The beeping was coming from Sakura's room and, after a while longer of the beeping noise, a click was heard from inside the room, stopping the beeping. Sakura was laying on her bed, curled up in her blanket for a little while longer after turning off her alarm that was beeping for a good five minutes. She didn't want to get out of bed due to it being cold in her room, but she knew she had to because she had school soon.
A sigh was heard from within the curled up being inside the blanket before it rose and the blanket came off, revealing Sakura to the cool air that was circulating around her room. She shivered a little after getting out from the warmth of her blanket, yawning softly, before she gets up off her bed and gets ready for school.
She first starts off her morning routine with a hot shower. She is usually the first ones to wake up, so she knew that the bathroom was free for her to use. She grabbed a towel and clothes she was going to wear for school that day and head to the bathroom. After about twenty to twenty-five minutes, she finishes showering. She steps out of the shower and starts drying her body before she puts on her clothes.
Her outfit consists of a red tank top with a navy blue jean vest over it and black jean shorts. After she puts her clothes on, she dries her hair as much as she can with her towel before using the blow dryer. It took her a couple of minutes to dry her hair due to its length. When she was younger, she had shoulder length hair, but now, she grew it out and, currently, it stops mid-back. After she was done blow drying it and combing it, she brushes her teeth before she leaves the bathroom and back to her room.
Along the way, she bumps into her older brother, Kenan Fue, who's the same age as Joe. "Good morning, Kenan." She greeted him, smiling. Kenan smiles at her and ruffled her hair a bit as he was passing her. "Good morning, Sakura." He greeted back.
"Hey! Don't mess with my hair!" She complained, swatting his hand away. Kenan laughed and walked down the hall towards the bathroom, waving with his back to her. "You should hurry and eat something before you are late."
"I know!" Sakura told him before she went back to her room and grabbing her tote bag. She looks in the mirror and fixes her hair a bit from when Kenan messed it up. She smiles when she finishes, grabbing her sunglasses off her desk, before leaving her room and going down the hall to the kitchen.
She puts her sunglasses on top of her head and sets her bag on the chair before grabbing cereal and milk. She poured the contents into a bowl and starts eating it at a decent pace. Once she finished eating, she puts her bowl in the sink and washes it. Once done, she grabs her bag from the chair and puts her shoes on.
Just as she was about to leave, Kenan called out to her. She turned around and sees him standing there, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest, smiling at her. "Have a fun day at school, sis." He said.
She smirks at him as she moves her sunglasses so that it was covering her violet purple eyes. "Don't worry, bro. I will." She waves at him before leaving the apartment and heads off to school.
-At the school-
Sakura's apartment wasn't too far from the school so it didn't take her too long to arrive. As she enters the school grounds, a couple kids playing soccer caught her attention. She moved her sunglasses back to on top of her head as she watches them play. She recognized one of the players being Davis Motomiya, one of her classmates. She watches them play for a bit before letting out a soft giggle, smiling, as she says to herself, "Davis is good, but not as good as Tai yet," before heading off to class.
~In the Digital World~
Chaos was still going on in the Digital World. Digimon under the control of the Dark Rings chasing and helping capture more slaves for the Digimon Emperor.
Patamon (TK's Digimon partner), Biyomon (Sora's Digimon Partner), and Tentomon (Izzy's Digimon partner) were currently being chased by a Snimon who is under the control of a Dark Ring. Snimon sent out an attack with its scythe-like arms, hitting Biyomon and Tentomon. Patamon was lucky enough to hide in one of the trees away from Snimon's sight, watching helplessly as Biyomon and Tentomon got hit.
"Oh no. Biyomon, Tentomon."
Not too far away, Agumon (Tai's Digimon partner) was running from the Dark Rings and, unfortunately, trips on the ground and falls. He groans and calls out, "I need your help, Tai…Tai…!" as the Dark Rings continue to fly overhead.
~In the Human World~
Tai's Digivice started beeping, alerting him. "Huh?" Tai questioned, looking at the Digivice that was attached to his belt.
-With Sakura and others-
Sakura was standing at her desk, which happens to have a vacant seat beside her. She was sitting in front of Kari's and Davis' seat, apparently. Just as she was about to sit down, Davis came in and started talking to her and Kari.
"Alright, Kari, Sakura. How lucky. We're in the same class again." Davis says, placing his hands on the desk that was behind Sakura.
Kari looks at him and smiles. "I wouldn't call it luck." She states as Sakura giggles, nodding.
"Funny thing just happened to me. This new kid came up to me and said that I reminded him of someone. He probably thought I was a movie star." Davis said, which gained him a confused look from Kari and an "I-don't-believe-that" look from Sakura. Before they could talk anymore, the bell rang and everyone sat in their seat as their teacher came in, followed by a student behind him. Sakura watches the two walk to the front of the room, focusing her attention more on the student that came in with the teacher, a smirk forming on her lips.
"Alright, class. We have a new student joining us." Their teacher states in a mono-tone voice, causing most of the students to sweatdrop. "Please introduce yourself." The teacher, Mr. Hamasaki, said to the new student.
"Hello. My name is TK Takaishi. It's nice to meet all of you." The new guy greeted with a smile and a bow. Sakura giggles faintly, remembering how TK was before he moved.
'It doesn't look like he has changed one bit.' She thought as she listened to Mr. Hamasaki tell TK to take a seat next to the girl with the sunglasses on her head, meaning next to her. She watches as TK walks over and takes a seat next to her, giving him a smile, which he returned.
"Together again." TK said to her and Kari.
"Just like old times." Kari said. None of them noticed Davis fuming behind Sakura.
'That kid is hitting on my girl!' Davis thought angrily, glaring at TK.
"Our teacher looks like Ogremon." Sakura stated, earning a laugh from TK and Kari.
~In the Digital World~
"Agumon!" Tai called out to his partner, kneeling down beside him and helping him up.
"Tai, you're here." Agumon responded as he stood up with Tai's help.
"You've got to Digivolve right now." Tai said, holding out his Digivice.
"That's why I need your help, Tai. I can't Digivolve." Agumon stated.
"Did you forget how? It's like riding a bike. Now, start pedaling and Digivolve!" Tai said, almost yelling.
-With the Digimon Emperor-
Laughter can be heard in the room where the Digimon Emperor was sitting, different screens were visible in front of him.
"Try as hard as you want. It won't matter." The Digimon Emperor smirked, gripping what looks like a Digivice in his gloved hand. "As long as I have this Dark Digivice, you can't Digivolve." He states, letting out an evil laugh.
-Back to Tai and Agumon-
After deciding between them that that wasn't the time or place to discuss the situation, they took off to find a safe place away from the Dark Rings and Digimon under the control of the Dark Rings. As they were running, they met up with Patamon, who ran (well, flew) along with them. They then ran into Gatomon.
"Move your tails!" She yelled out to them, pointing the way before moving towards the direction she pointed towards. They stopped for a bit before following her.
"Over here!" Renamon (Sakura's Digimon partner) called out to them. She was standing at the entrance of a cave, motioning them to get over to where she is where it is safe. They saw her and ran into the cave.
Tai took out his D-terminal and started typing. "We're going to need more help. I have to call the others." When he finished typing the message, he sent it.
~In the Human World~
"Huh? 'Come to the Digital World right away. The Digimon need our help.'" Yolie Inoue read on the screen on the computer. "It must be a link to an online game. I wonder who it is from." She checks the sender 'Tai Kamiya'. "Hey! There's a girl in the seventh grade with the same last name. This email is probably for her."
-With Sakura and others-
Sakura, Kari and TK were at the shoe cubbies, chatting, as they were changing shoes.
"So, TK, how does your mom like the new apartment?" Kari asked.
"She hasn't seen it yet. She's been on the computer the entire time." TK answered, earning a giggle from Sakura.
"You can't really blame her since she is busy with her work." Sakura stated.
Just then, Davis runs in. "Hey buddy!"
Kari, whose back was turned to Davis, turned around and glared a little at Davis. "His name's not 'buddy', its TK." She corrected.
"Alright TJ or JB or whatever it is. How do you know Kari and Sakura?" Davis asked angrily.
TK blinked. "How do I know them?" He repeated Davis' question, then starts laughing. "Oh I get it. You're jealous of me." Sakura giggled, knowing that Davis had a crush on Kari, not her.
"Hey, I'm not jealous of anyone!" Davis responded, denying TK's statement, just as Yolie ran into the room.
"Hey!"
TK looked behind Davis and smiled. "Hey Yolie."
Yolie walked up to Kari. "You're Kari Kamiya, right?" She asked.
"Yes that's right. Why do you ask?" Kari nodded.
"Well, do you know Tai? He sent this email." Yolie says, showing Kari a printed out version of the email. Kari, Sakura, and TK glanced at the email and their expressions become serious.
"My brother needs us." Kari says before they all dashed off towards the computer lab.
On the way there, they ran into Izzy.
"Oh. Glad I found you, Yolie. I need to borrow the computer lab right away." Izzy stated.
Yolie clasps her hands together, eyes sparkling. "Oh! The legendary former computer club president is looking for me? I'm honored." She said, gleefully.
"Hey Izzy." TK greeted.
"Hi Izzy." Sakura waved, smiling.
"Tai sent this email." Kari mentions, showing the printed out email.
"I know. I got one too." Izzy stated and they all get to the computer lab.
Everyone was crowded around Izzy as he was typing on the computer.
"I was about to send Tai a reply when the battery ran out of my computer." He says as he was typing. "I knew I should've charged it after playing Trigonometry Trivia last night. Oh boy, talk about fun." He finished typing and sends the email. "There."
~In the Digital World~
"Hey! It's from Izzy!" Tai reads the email. "He's got Kari, TK, and Sakura with him." He exclaimed, excitedly.
"Tai! Come here quick!" Agumon's voice was heard from deeper in the cave.
~In the Human World~
"What's the Digital World? Is it like a new amusement park?" Yolie questioned, smiling. "I bet they have some great rides there." Kari, Sakura, and TK looked at each other, smiling awkwardly, unsure of how to answer her.
"I've heard about it from Tai once. He said there were a lot of Digimon there, whatever those are." Davis said outloud.
"You know Tai?" TK questioned Davis.
"They belong on the same soccer team." Kari answered.
"Here's an idea. Lets all go to the Digital World." Yolie stated. Just as she said that, Cody Hido shows up at the door.
"Yolie! Weren't you coming over? Remember? You were going to fix my computer." Cody says.
"Oh yeah. I forgot." Yolie said, leaving the room with Cody.
"If Tai's there, then that means the gate to the Digital World is open." Izzy says while typing away on the keyboard. Sakura looks over his shoulder, watching what he was doing.
~In the Digital World~
"What is that?" Tai questioned, looking down at an egg on the ground with the other Digimon.
"It's an egg." Patamon stated the obvious.
"I've never seen an egg with a spike in it." Agumon said.
"Me neither." Renamon agreed, then notices the symbol on it. "Hey. That's the Crest of Courage."
"It must've been hard for the chicken to lay that thing." Gatomon says.
"Lets check it out." Tai says as he reaches down and grabs the egg, but just as he touches it, it starts shining brightly. "What the-?" Tai questions. The brightness causes him to release the egg. As soon as he released it, three fireball looking things shows up.
"Those look like fireflies," Tai commented, watching them float up before they took off, "very fast fireflies."
~In the Human World~
"You promised." Cody reminded Yolie.
"I know." Yolie says.
-In the Computer Lab-
"We're going back to the Digital World. Prodigious." Izzy stated, grabbing his Digivice, along with TK, Kari, and Sakura.
"I'm going too." Davis states.
"That's impossible, Not just anyone can go, you know. You need a Digivice." TK explained, showing his Digivice to Davis.
Davis clenched his fist. "If you can go, TC, then so can I." He argued. Just then, the computer screen starts shining brightly and out came the three 'fireflies', Everyone gasped as one flew at Davis while the other flew out the door.
-With Yolie and Cody-
As they were walking down the hall, something flew into both of their hands.
"Wha?" Yolie and Cody both said, surprised and confused.
-In the Computer Lab-
"What is this?" Davis asked, showing a blue Digivice in his hand. The other four eyes were widened at the sight.
"That's a Digivice!" TK stated.
"But it's a different model than the ones we have." Kari says while looking back and forth from hers to Davis'.
"We don't have much time, guys." Sakura reminded them. They all nodded.
"Hey, can I get Donkey Madness on this thing?" Davis asked.
Izzy looks at him seriously. "It's not a game. If the Digital World sent you a Digivice, then there must be a reason and you must take it seriously."
"I'm not waiting any longer." Kari said, holding her Digivice towards the computer screen, getting sucked in. Davis' mouth fell wide open in shock when seeing that.
"I'm with you." TK said, doing the same thing Kari did.
"Right behind you!" Sakura does the same thing. After they get sucked in, Izzy looks at Davis.
"Your turn." Izzy states. "Unless you are afraid."
Davis shakes off his shock and holds up his Digivice to the screen. "I'm there!" He gets sucked in too. Just as Izzy was about to go as well, Yolie skidded at the door.
"Woah! What's going on in here?" She asked, causing Izzy to almost drop his Digivice.
"O…Oh, hey Yolie." Izzy greeted, laughing nervously, hiding his Digivice behind his back.
Yolie walks up to him. " What was that light, Izzy?" She asked.
Izzy looks away, laughing nervously. "The computer must need a new screen saver."
~In the Digital World~
After they arrived in the Digital World, the four of them goes to search for Tai.
"Man, my first time being downloaded….Pretty cool…." Davis states while looking around. "So this is the Digital World…" He then notices his change of clothing. "Woah! It even comes with a different wardrobe."
-With the Digimon Emperor-
The Digimon Emperor growls when seeing Sakura and the others in the Digital World on one of his screens. "Looks like we have some visitors in my garden….and they weren't even on the guests list…." He says to himself.
-With Sakura and the others-
They were walking more into the forest, searching for Tai.
"It's over this way." Kari mentions, leading the way while holding her Digivice in her hand to guide her, with the others following behind her.
"This place doesn't seem so scary. The way Tai put it there were monsters everywhere." Davis states while taking in the scenary. "Huh?" Not too far to his left, he notices a vending machine. "Hey guys! Check it out! There's a vending machine." He moves towards it. "I am a little thirsty…." Just as he got close to it, something came out of it, startling Davis.
"Huh?" Sakura stopped and looked back to where Davis was after hearing a scream, along with TK and Kari. They see Davis on his butt, looking shocked, with some Numemon's moving in front of him. Seeing Davis' expression caused TK to start laughing while Sakura and Kari giggled a little.
As the Numemon's past, Davis recovered from his shock and got up, dusting himself off. "Ha ha, very funny." He goes up to them and they continued. "So those were Digimon?" He asked.
"Yup!" Sakura answered.
"There are a lot more of them too. A lot cuter ones too." Kari stated.
"And a lot scarier ones as well." TK stated as well.
"Do they all come out of vending machines?" Davis questioned.
Not too far from where they are. "They're close…" Tai said while looking down at his Digivice. "There!" Patamon notices TK and flew towards him. "TK!"
TK looked up and smiled, laughing. "Patamon! Boy, am I glad to see you!" Davis was startled when seeing Patamon. Sakura giggled when seeing Davis' reaction again.
Tai ran up to them. "Hey guys! I'm glad you can all make it." Gatomon, Agumon, and Renamon followed right behind him.
"Tai!" Davis steps forward. "I told those guys you'd be alright."
"Ha! Yeah right!" Sakura said, laughing, as she goes and gives Renamon a high five. "Good to see you again, Renamon." Renamon smiled at Sakura. "Likewise, Sakura."
Tai blinks, seeing Davis there. "Huh? Davis? What are you doing here?"
"Kari!" Gatomon jumps onto Kari, hugging her.
"Haha! Gatomon!" Kari laughs, hugging back, then notices her tail ring missing. "Your tail ring!" They pulled back from the hug, but Kari was still holding Gatomon in her arms. "Tell me what happened."
Gatomon explained what happened as they went back into the cave where the Digiegg with the Crest of Courage on it was located.
"What?! Another human? You mean someone else comes here besides us?" TK questioned.
"Well, there goes the neighborhood…." Sakura mumbled to herself.
"Yeah. And the Digimon Emperor has this strange new dark Digivice that makes it unable for us to Digivolve." Gatomon explained.
"Show her yours." Sakura said to Davis.
"Huh?" Davis takes out his Digivice and shows it. "You mean like this?"
Gatomon gasped. "That's it! You work for the Digimon Emperor!" Gatomon exclaimed, pointing at Davis.
"Wait a minute! I don't work for anybody!" Davis tries to explain. "Besides, mine's not black. I just got this when it came out of the computer."
Tai looks at Davis in realization. 'That's what came out of the Digiegg when I picked it up. Three new Digivices. But why did Davis get one? What's his purpose in the Digital World? And more importantly, who got the other two Digivices?' He questioned in his head.
~In the Human World~
Yolie was interrogating Izzy while all that was happening.
"Where did everyone disappear to, Izzy?" Yolie asked, leaning closer to Izzy.
"I told you already, Yolie. They all went home." Izzy responded, nervously.
"I'm not letting you off the hook so easily, Izzy." She leans away, crossing her arms over her chest. "I know you're hiding something from me. Now, what is the Digital World and what exactly are Digimon?" She interrogated.
"I-I don't know what you are talking about." Izzy responded quickly, still looking nervous.
Yolie takes something out of her pocket. "Then what do you call this?" She shows him her Digivice.
Izzy gasped. "Where did you get that?"
"Cody's got one as well." Yolie stated.
-Down the Hall-
"No. Yolie's not coming over. We have to stay afterschool for computer club, but since you've made the brownies, I'll come home and pick them up." Cody says on the phone, gripping tightly onto his Digivice.
~In the Digital World~
"The dark Digivice is draining our powers and making us as weak as newborn kittens." Gatomon said.
"So that's why you couldn't digivolve." Tai stated.
"Yeah! If I could Digivolve, he wouldn't stand a chance!" Agumon agreed.
Unknown to them, a Dark Ring floats in through the entrance of the cave and hovers above them.
"The Digimon Emperor uses the powerful Dark Rings to control the Digimon." Renamon explained.
"Yeah, and if you get one on you, you're a slave for life." Patamon continued.
"The only thing these collars won't do is get rid of flees." Gatomon said, more to herself than anyone else.
"Oh man, this Digimon Emperor need to be stopped before he controls anymore innocent Digimon!" Sakura stated.
"Digimon Emperor! I'm gonna slap a Dark Ring on him!" Kari said, angrily.
-With the Digimon Emperor-
The Digimon Emperor chuckled when hearing what Kari said. "Oh you think so, huh? Well, this is just a game to me." He paused for a bit, then continued. "If you can't play by my rules, then I will have no choice, but to disqualify you." A screen with a few buttons appeared in front of him. "Hm….who should I have to destroy you….? Eenie meenie minie mon!" He presses a button at the end. "Go! Monochromon!"
In one of the prisons in the Emperor's base, Monochromon starts floating into the air and outside. He lets out a roar, eyes shining red, indicating that he was under the control of the Dark Ring, and heads off to its destination.
-With Davis and the others-
"It looks like a deflated volleyball." TK commented while looking at the Digiegg. "No wonder. It's got a spike through it."
"Yeah, but it's heavier than my mom's meatloaf." Tai stated.
TK walked right up to the Digiegg, knelt down, and tried to pick it up, but couldn't. "It won't budge."
"Move aside. This is a woman's job." Kari said and gives it a try, but couldn't.
"Too bad we don't have a woman here to help." TK commented.
"I'm slightly offended, TK." Sakura said, jokingly, as she goes to give it a try, but it still won't budge.
Davis was watching them try and steps up. "Guys! I pump iron all the time! Let me give it a shot!" He said, confidently. He goes and tries to pick up the Digiegg. After a few minutes, he picked it up. "There! You see! Light as a feather. You guys need to work out a little more." Davis boasted.
The others looked shocked to see Davis having lifted the Digiegg.
"There's a problem." Tai mentions, looking at the spot where the Digiegg once was. A ray of orange light flows out of the hole where the Digiegg was and, in the light, a Digimon appears. It opens its eyes and turns to Davis, then jump out of the light.
"Woohoo! Free at last! Free at last! You moved the Digiegg!" the Digimon cheered, jumping around Davis, before stopping in front of him. "My name is Veemon. You can just call me Veemon."
Davis looks a bit taken back. "Hi, I'm Davis."
"I've heard of Veemon. Supposedly, he's a fun-loving, adventure seeking little Digimon that brings you good luck, but I thought he was only a legend." Agumon mentions.
"Nope! I'm real, alright, and I've been waiting a very long time to meet you, Davis." Veemon exclaimed.
"Uh, I think you've got the wrong guy."
"Nope, you're the one, alright, because you were the only one who was able to move the Digiegg of Courage." Veemon explained.
'That's right. Even though I have the Crest of Courage, I couldn't move the Digiegg, but Davis could….' Tai thought.
A rumbling noise could be heard all around the cave with the ground shaking.
"What's that? An earthquake?" Davis questioned, looking around.
"No! Look up there!" TK pointed up and everyone looked. Monochromon could be seen tearing a hole in the wall., growling.
"It's a monster!" Davis shouted.
"No, doofus! It's a Digimon!" Sakura said.
"Monochromon." Kari said its name as Monochromon falls down from the hole and lands in front of them.
"Boom Bubble!" "Pepper Breath!" "Diamond Storm!" Patamon, Agumon and Renamon send out their attacks at Monochromon, but it had no affect.
"Volcanic Strike!" Monochromon gathers a fireball in its mouth and gets ready to send it out at them.
"Come on! Lets go!" TK yelled out as he started to run. Sakura and the others follows right behind him. "Come on, Davis!" Tai called out to him, seeing Davis not moving.
Davis snaps out of it. "Oh right!" He gets up and starts running with Veemon just as Monochromon released its attack, just barely escaping it. As they were running towards the entrance, Veemon said, "Davis! Hurry up and open the Digiegg!" with Davis responding with, "I don't know what you are talking about!" in between breathes as Monochromon starts chasing after them. They stopped once they got outside on top of a cliff, breathing heavily.
"That was close." Davis said, looking back.
"Davis! Get down here!" Tai said from the bottom of the cliff.
Another attack comes straight from the cave, heading towards Davis, but Veemon pushes him out of the way and down the cliff. The direction of the attack was close to hitting Kari and Gatomon as well, but they moved out of the way.
"Davis, tell me. What hurts?" Veemon asked.
Davis groaned. "Everything hurts, but my earlobe." He answered.
"You control the Digiegg of Courage. You need to use your courage to open it up." Veemon explained as Tai runs up to them.
"Davis! Get up! It's not safe!"
"Ugh….okay." Davis says as he sits up.
"I can Digivolve if you open the egg, but you have to have courage to do it." Veemon said to Davis.
"It's worth a try." Tai agreed.
TK, Patamon, and Agumon runs up to them. "Tai!" Agumon said, breathing a little heavy. "We've got to get out of here!" TK stated.
A few feet away, Kari was on the ground, holding her ankle. Sakura was kneeling down beside Kari, looking worried, while Renamon was standing behind Sakura.
"Kari?" Gatomon, who was next to Kari, asks, worried about her partner.
"I can't move my ankle." Kari said.
"You must have twisted it when you dodged that attack." Sakura stated.
"We're sitting ducks here!" Tai yelled.
Monochromon jumped from the cliff and heads straight towards Kari and Sakura.
The guys gasped and watched helplessly as Monochromon was nearing the girls. Kari gasped and Sakura turned around, gasping, as she sees Monochromon coming their way.
"Davis!"
"Have courage!"
"Kari and Sakura are in trouble!"
Sakura and Kari couldn't move from their spot out of fear and shock.
Davis gripped tightly onto the Digiegg and stood up, taking off his broken goggles and throwing them to the side. "You want courage? I'll show you courage!" He holds up the Digiegg. "Digi-armor energize!" The Digiegg starts glowing orange, along with Veemon, as he starts to Digivolve.
"Veemon armor Digivolve to…Flamedramon the Fire of Courage!"
Flamedramon headbutts Monochromon's side before it can get any closer to the girls, then lands a bit away, keeping an eye on Monochromon.
"Armor Digivolve?" Tai questioned, shocked.
"Huh?" Kari and Gatomon looked shocked and confused.
"Come on. We've got to get to a safer place." Sakura suggested. "I'm gonna need your help, Renamon." Her partner Digimon nodded as she helped Sakura get Kari and Gatomon to the others, then Sakura starts treatment on Kari's ankle.
-With the Digimon Emperor-
"Armor Digivolve? With the power of my dark Digivice, they shouldn't be able to Digivolve at all." The Digimon Emperor states while looking at the screen. "Hm…They are more resourceful than I thought."
-With Davis and the others-
Flamedramon and Monochromon started fighting. After a bit of fighting, Flamedramon gets thrown into the air. Once he straightened up in the air, Flamedramon's body gets engulfed in flames.
"Fire Rocket!" He heads straight for Monochromon, well, more for the Dark Ring.
"Barbecue that Dark Ring, Flamedramon!" Gatomon called out.
Flamedramon's attack hits the Dark Ring straight on, breaking it, as he lands beside Monochromon. As the fire disappears, he glowed and an orange light shoots from him towards Davis' Digivice, then another light shoots at his pocket.
"Huh?" Davis sticks his hand into his pocket and takes out a D-terminal. "What's this?" He opens it up to see an egg on the screen.
"That's a good Monochromon." Kari said, petting Monochromon on the head, as Flamedramon reverted back to Veemon.
-With the Digimon Emperor-
A worm-like Digimon, Wormon, comes into the room. "You summoned me, o'evil Emperor."
"I believe we've found ourselves a worthy foe at last." The Digimon Emperor stated, smirking.
"That's great. Just one question," Wormon paused for a bit, then continued, "what's a foe?" he asked, innocently.
-With Davis and the others-
"Good bye, Monochromon! Don't forget to write!" Kari waved as Monochromon, no longer being controlled by the Dark Ring, walks away.
"I can't believe the Digimon Emperor can turn such a nice Digimon into such a nasty creature." TK stated.
"I agree. It's just wrong. He needs to be stopped." Sakura said as she watched Monochromon disappear into the distance.
Davis and Veemon were a few feet away from them, shaking hands. "It was great working with you, Davis. Lets do it again sometime." Veemon said. "Great!" Davis nodded, agreeing.
"Hey guys! That armor Digivolving was pretty cool!" Tai complimented.
"Even though the rest of us can't digivolve, I know that you new guys can take on the Digimon Emperor with no problem." Agumon said.
"Yeah…Leave it to me." Veemon says.
"Davis, I think you were really brave back there in that battle, but I noticed that you broke your goggles in the process. And, as we all know, the leader of the Digidestines wouldn't look right without them, so here," Tai said, taking off his goggles and handing them to Davis, "I want you to have mine."
Davis takes them and puts it on his head, mouth open in awe in amazement.
"They look real cute." Kari said, Sakura nodding and agreeing with her. Davis heard Kari's compliment and laughs nervously.
"Good! The sun is going down! Now we can relax." Patamon exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked him.
"The Digimon Emperor never appears at night." Renamon answered.
"Excuse me, Tai. It's getting late. Shouldn't you guys be going home soon?" Agumon asked his partner. Tai looked at him. "We sure do, but I don't even know if we can get home." Tai looked back at Davis, saying, "Be careful. Never stay too long."
They start heading back to where they came from and hear voices coming from a little tv with antennas on top of it.
"Hey Izzy. Cody's back. Can we go to the Digital World now?" the voice sounding like Yolie asked.
"The gate might close. It's not safe." The voice sounding like Izzy answered.
"But at least I got the brownies." The voice sounding like Cody answered.
They drew closer to the tv and sees the three of them eating on the monitor.
~In the Human World~
"Hey, what does it mean when the light on that thing goes on?" Yolie asked after swallowing the brownie that was in her mouth.
"What thing?" Izzy questioned.
"That thing on the computer. I just saw the light go on." Yolie explained as she turned to look at the computer screen and then screams, startled from what she was seeing.
On the screen, it shows Davis and the others. Well, more of Davis since he came up close to the screen, calling out to them, "Hey! It's me, Davis! Let me in!" before the screen shines bright on both ends.
~In the Digital World~
After Davis called out to Izzy and the others on the screen, it starts shining and sucks the Digidestines into it.
"Well, you don't see that everyday." Agumon commented.
"You got that right." Renamon agreed as Veemon, Gatomon and Patamon nodded, watching their partners get sucked into the TV.
~In the Human World~
As the light shines brightly, Davis and the other who were in the Digital World comes out of the screen and landed on Izzy, Cody, and Yolie. Screams and a loud thud was heard when they landed.
"Ow…." "Get off! You're crushing my brownie!" Sakura rubs her head as she got off the pile since she was on top of it all, then looks at the pile of her friends, giggling, saying to herself, "I'm glad that I'm not in the middle of all that," as she turns towards the screen to take one last look at their Digimon partners while the others were straightening up.
