Digimon World: Halloween Special - Revival From The Grave Part 1.
Author's Note: This really has nothing to do with the original Digimon World storyline, but it has the same digidestined, and it would also help if you would read the Digimon World Information guide, but disregard the part about the evil Digimon.
Rain pours down as a dark figure stands in the middle of a forest clearing. An iron fence surrounds him. In front of him stand three graves. "Know, I call upon the Three Horsemen! Shinduo knowtta hera, Haka! Shinduo knowtta hera, Owari! Shinduprey hinata knowtta hera, Hallow!" Suddenly, the fresh earth in front of him broke apart. Three hands stuck out of the graves. The ground was blown apart. A blue glow lit up the night as the mysterious figure disappeared into nothing.
"Arc Streamer!" Enkomon lashed his whip out at the oncoming Digimon. "And another one bites the dust!"
"Good work Enkomon." Takahashi said, looking at his beetle-type Digimon.
"You know, Diablomon proved to be the hardest opponent we've had yet!" Patrick said.
"Actually, I think he was quite easily defeated!" William said, holding his head high.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that, especially for someone who didn't let their Digimon fight even half the battle!" Patrick yelled, holding a fist in William's face.
"Why I should.." William returned the favor by putting up his fists.
"Stop it please, you're making me nervous!" Marie was pacing around Sakuramon.
"What's wrong, Marie?" Sakuramon asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know exactly. I just have a weird feeling. It's almost as if something has gone totally wrong!" she said, still pacing.
A bitter wind blew. "Crap! It's getting cold and all I have on is a T-Shirt and shorts!" Patrick groaned, trying to cover his shivering body.
The digidestined were in the middle of a field that led to a forest. The leaves were turning golden and brown. "Enkomon, does the Digital World have seasons?" Takahashi asked, looking around him.
"Seasons? What are those?" he asked, just as puzzled as Takahashi.
"Well, it's like when the weather changes from either cold to hot, or hot to cold. Then, when it's cold, flowers die, but when it's hot they spring up everywhere," He explained.
"Oh, well, I guess you could call it that. I see the trees dying now. It rather sad in a way," Enkomon said, looking at the almost leafless trees.
"Yeah." Takahashi was walking downhill when he saw a white figure standing between two trees. "Enkomon, did you see that?" he asked, staring in the direction.
"No, what is it?" Enkomon looked but saw nothing.
"I don't know," Takahashi said, waking towards the spot where he had seen it.
"Takahashi, where are you going?" Marie called after him. Takahashi didn't answer. Instead, he walked on. "Takahashi?" Marie followed him.
Sakuramon and Enkomon stayed close behind them. Patrick and William were still arguing. Takahashi and Marie stepped through the two trees. There, they stepped into a large clearing. "Weird! I hadn't seen this before." Takahashi looked around.
"Hey, what's going on?" said Patrick running towards them. William struggled to run behind in his slippers.
Suddenly, a strange feeling swept over them. The white figure appeared before them. "Is that what you saw?" Marie asked Takahashi, turning towards him.
"Yeah," he replied, mystified.
"I don't have a very good feeling about this!" Europamon roared.
"It's okay. Whatever it is, I don't think it wants to hurt us." Takahashi stepped toward it. It slowly began to take shape.
"Hey, watch out, you don't know what it might do!" Marie sounded worried.
It began to take the form of a short man. It then formed a cape and a tall pointed hat. Then, it stood there staring at them. It had ghostly white clothes. It was equipped with a silver staff with a large sun at the end of it. It's long blue hair was pulled back into a ponytail. It's silver cape fluttered with the cool breeze that followed him.
"Who are you?" Takahashi asked, examining the man. "What do you want?"
"I am here to warn you, Digidestined. The Three Horsemen have been revived! This world's fate lies in your hands!" With that, it disappeared.
"Hey, come back!" Patrick yelled over the tall trees. He didn't return.
"What did he mean? How did he know we were the digidestined?" All these thoughts raced through Takahashi's head as he stood, fixated to the spot.
"Who in the bloody hell are the Three Horsemen?" William looked confused, yet angry.
"What's got your panties in a wad?" Patrick asked.
"I can't stand when people do that! They tell you something, only God knows the answer to, then they leave!" William said.
"No time for fussing now! It looks like we have company!" Kagemon looked towards the sky.
"Raaaaaaacccccccckkkkkkk!!!!" A giant bird came swooping down at them.
"What in the world?" Patrick gasped for breath.
"It's a death bird!" Enkomon shouted over the loud gust of wind produced from the birds wings.
"A what?" Marie asked, covering her eyes.
"That's Karasumon, a raven Digimon! But, I wonder, who could have sent him?" Sakuramon paused for a second.
"Let's go!" Europamon roared. He started with a leap into the air. "There you are! Crimson Slash!" Just as Karasumon was coming upon him, he disappeared.
"Europamon! Behind you!" He tried to turn around, but it was too late. He was flung to the ground, landing hard.
"This will be harder than I thought! He has teleportation powers. We have to use our instincts on this one." Enkomon was commanding the others like a general commanding his army, a true leader.
The teens stood there, watching their Digimon fight almost a pointless battle. They couldn't keep up with Karasumon. He was just too fast.
"Blossom Whip!" Every attempt failed. While they watched, their Digimon were getting beat, and bad!
"Sakuramon!" Marie yelled as her Digimon was hurtling toward the trees.
"Crescent Slash!"
"Shadow Cloak!" Karasumon evaded both attacks by evaporating then appearing. He was just too powerful.
Finally, it was only Enkomon and Takahashi left to fight. The others had all been badly hurt. Karasumon and Enkomon engaged in a fierce battle, which Enkomon was losing fast! Takahashi was getting flustered. He held out his D-Trainer and pointed it at his battle-ravaged Digimon. "Darn it! Why don't you do something, you piece of junk?" Suddenly, a golden light emitted from it, hitting Enkomon. Takahashi felt a jolt go through his body.
"Takahashi!" Patrick, William, and Marie yelled in unison. Takahashi seemed to be getting smaller as Enkomon grew larger. His armour bulged. He then broke off the light that was pointed at him. Takahashi fell limp. Patrick ran over to him. Marie and Sakuramon followed.
Sakuramon examined Takahashi. "He's all right. Just knocked out," she reported.
"What happened?" William asked, running over.
"Well, Takahashi got into the battle so much, that he was able to transmit power from himself into Enkomon." Europamon stood up. They all looked at Enkomon. Well, he sure did look powerful! He glowed even more now.
Karasumon stood before him. "Nice costume. A little bit early for Halloween isn't it. No matter, he will succeed! Raven Reign!" Thirteen ravens formed around him, each one sending out a blast. Enkomon stood his ground, not moving. All the blasts swarmed around him.
"What is he doing?!?!" William yelled. "He is just a sitting duck there!"
"Not quite! He is absorbing the energy emitted from the blasts, also taking some of Karasumon's power with him! Now, he should be able to teleport!" Patrick jumped into the air, raising a fist. "If only Takahashi were awake to see this!"
Takahashi slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Marie hovering over him, then turned his gaze towards Enkomon. "Whoa! Did I do that?" he asked, amazed.
"You sure did!" Marie said cheerily.
"Now Karasumon. How about a taste of your own medicine?" Enkomon vanished and appeared right behind Karasumon. "Arc Streamer!" The golden whip held him down, with his wings enclosed, in a death grip. Then, Enkomon pointed his most powerful blast at Karasumon. "Now, Golden Flare!" The flaming ball collided with the raven, causing it to disintegrate.
"Enkomon!" Takahashi weakly got up and walked over to his Digimon.
"Takahashi, thank you." He laid an enormous hand on Takahashi's small shouler. He began to grow larger. He was regaining his strength.
"That was purely awesome!" Patrick yelled, still goggling at the last attack.
"How come you never say that to me?" Europamon asked in a hurt tone.
"Uhhh..Sorry?" Patrick forced a smile at his large lion partner.
Just as they were celebrating, the ghostly white figure appeared again. "Who are you?" Takahashi asked calmly.
"You shouldn't be celebrating just yet! You still have the Three Horsemen to fight!" it said, disregarding the question. "That was just one of their minions. They are far more powerful than Karasumon! Be careful, Digidestined." Then he disappeared again.
"That little ghost! Why doesn't he tell us who he is?" William said, his face turning red.
Not paying attention to William, Takahashi went into deep thought. "Enkomo, what are the Three Horsemen?"
"Well, I've often heard they were just a legend. But anyway, there once was a darkness that enslaved this world. Three powerful Digimon were the cause of it. There names were Hakamon, Owarimon, and the most powerful of all, Hallowmon. No one could overcome them, until one day, four warriors screwed up enough courage to fight back. They were said to have been powerful Digimon. With that power, they brought the Three Horsemen to a lowly grave, destroying all evil with them."
"Wow! How weird! And you mean that they have come back again?" Marie asked, flinching at the thought.
"Well, we don't exactly know, though I have been getting some strange vibes lately!" Europamon shuddered.
"Well, we won't find anything out sitting here all day. I'm hungry!" William said, rubbing his stomach.
"You know, I am too." Patrick's stomach gave a low growl.
"Come, I saw berries a little ways back. Perhaps there are fruits there also." Kagemon led them to and orchard with strange fruits hanging from a bough of each tree.
"Wow! Look at all of this!" The digidestined greedily filled their stomachs. Takahashi didn't say much. He was too busy thinking.
"What's the matter?" Marie came over to him.
"I don't know. It's just the whole thing about those horsemen." Takahashi looked worried. "If Karasumon was that powerful, I can't imagine how they might be!"
"Oh Takahashi. That story may have just been made up! You know who legends are!" she tried to ease his worry.
"But what about that ghost thing. What and who is he?"
"Well, that's something time will have to find out. Meanwhile, I'm getting tired. I think I shall go to bed. Night night, Takahashi."
"Night, Marie." Takahashi kept thinking well into the night. It was when only Enkomon and he were left that he began to wonder. "Enkomon, what if it is just a legend? Why would that ghost have come to us?"
"Takahashi, it's like Marie said. Don't worry so much. It's bad for you." Enkomon patted Takahashi on the back. "Come on, you've racked your brain enough today. It's time for bed."
Takahashi looked at his watch, then remembered that it had stopped the moment he landed in the Digital World. Then, he turned and went to bed.
"Takahashi? Takahashi? You awake?" Patrick towered over him.
"Well I wasn't until you woke me up."
"Sorry, but uh - William is gone."
"What?" Takahashi jumped up, surprised. "Did he leave any note or anything?"
"Well, yeah. Here it is." Patrick gave a small piece of paper to him.
It read: I have gone to look for the ghost. I do not know about you, but I would like some answers! William Cannon.
"That idiot!" Takahashi yelled so loud that Enkomon awoke.
"What are we going to do?" Patrick asked.
"Well, we have to find him! He can't have gone too far. Enkomon, let's go. Is Marie up?"
"Yeah, she's the one who found the note." Patrick said.
"We have to find him." Takahashi jumped up and ran off, everyone else following. He stopped.
"Hey, do you know where we are going?" Patrick asked him, catching his breath.
"Knowing William, he won't stray off the path too much. Let's just keep going and maybe we'll run into him." They started off again. They ran for what seemed like hours to them, stopping only to catch their breaths. Then they heard a faint cry. "That's got to be him!" Takahashi yelled, running off.
Sure enough, William and Kagemon were there, but something was attacking Kagemon. It was a large grey creature. It had skeletal arms and legs, but his torso looked like that of a strong man's. Claws extended from his bony fingers.
"Do you mind helping us instead of staring?" William yelled.
"Right!" Takahashi shouted back. "Go Enkomon!" The three Digimon left to join Kagemon.
"Arc Streamer!"
"Crescent Slash!"
"Momoiro Haze!"
The attacks had no effect on the grey monster. He came right back and beat the heck out of them. He evaded their attacks left and right. He was fast and agile, and also very powerful!
"All right! Enkomon, now!" Takahashi held up his D-Trainer towards his partner. Then nothing happened. "What?" He looked down at his device. "Come on! Enkomon!" Again nothing happened.
"What's the matter with this thing?" Takahashi looked at it disgustedly.
"How are we going to win against this? It's so powerful!" Marie shrieked.
And for the first time, the Digimon spoke. "I am Hakamon, the third horsemen! Digidestined, you are no match for me! Pelting Tombs!" Tons of giant rocks flew down from the heavens, pouring on their hard-ridden Digimon.
"Then, it's true! The Three Horsemen are real!" Patrick shouted.
Takahashi panicked. 'How are we going to beat him? He is one of the horsemen!' he thought, sweat running down his face.
"Wand Of Souls!" Suddenly, Hakamon fell towards the ground. They strained to see what had caused this event. Then they saw, emerging from a cloud of dust, the ghostly figure.
Hakamon rose up from the ground, staring fiercely at the ghostly figure. "You? I thought you were destroyed long ago!" he said, snarling at him.
"Hakamon, you will leave these children alone!" it said, sticking it's staff into the air.
Hakamon chuckled. You mean to tell me that an Adult Level Digimon can stand in my way? Hehehehe!!!" His laughter was shrill and chilling. "Sorcerymon, you are the lowest vermin on the entire planet."
"Insults won't get you anywhere, Hakamon!"
"Enough talk! First, I'll kill you, then I'll start on the children. The Digidestined looked hopelessly at the towering grey monster. He swung at Sorcerymon. He dodged it just in time. Hakamon started throwing wild swings. "Pelting Tombs!" Rocks pushed Sorcerymon back, trapping him beneath their weight. "Now, for you little brats!" He turned to the Digidestined.
Their four Digimon arose and stood. "Sakuramon, what are you doing?" Marie asked, a frighten sound to her voice.
"We will defend you no matter what. You are our partners!" Sakuramon said, her fists clenching.
"Isn't that sweet? Well, you'll all taste sweet when you're in my stomach!" He cackled.
"You're just a lot of talk!" Patrick yelled.
"Don't give in to him!" A weak voice came from behind Hakamon. Sorcerymon was struggling to get up out of the rubble.
"So, you're still alive? Well, then! Rest In Pieces!" A blade extended from Hakamon's arms and he raced toward Sorcerymon. He then vanished. "What?" Hakamon stopped in midair.
"Have to be faster than that, Hakamon!" Sorcerymon appeared, standing before the Digidestined. "Enkomon, Sakuramon, Europamon, and Kagemon. Point your attacks directly at my staff! With enough power, it might be able to stop him!"
"Are you crazy little ghost? That could kill you!" William shrieked.
"That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make! Now, do it!" Hakamon rushed at them. "Now!"
Enkomon looked at Takahashi. "Go ahead!" Takahashi shouted.
"Golden Flare!"
"You too, Sakuramon!" Marie yelled out.
"Momoiro Haze!"
"Go Europamon!"
"Crimson Moon!"
"Kagemon, do it!"
"Silver Cloak!"
All the attacks were directed at the staff. Sorcerymon shook as it absorbed it all. "Ahhhhhh!" He stopped shaking and stood still, Hakamon advancing. "Staff Of The Immortal!"
The blast that emitted from the staff was so powerful, that it knocked the digidestined and their Digimon back. They heard a cry of agony. A pool of blood leaked out from under the engulfing light. Then there was silence. Sorcerymon appeared, holding his staff majestically.
"It worked! Good job, Europamon!" Patrick shouted, running over to his Digimon.
"Wow! Unbelievable!" William gasped.
"That was incredible!" Marie cheered.
Takahashi was silent as Sorcerymon walked up to them. A look of disbelief was on his face. "Digidestined, I am Sorcerymon, a wizard-type Digimon."
"So, finally, you tell s your name!" William said.
"Do not be jovial yet. There are still two horsemen left!"
"Can you give us some background on you? How did Hakamon know who you were?" Marie asked.
"Well, a long time ago, I worked for the Three Horsemen. Those were dark times! They destroyed everything in sight, gaining more and more power! Then, one night, I overheard them saying that they didn't need their minions anymore, so they would just destroy us all! Fortunately, I got away. I helped to destroy them, but now it seems to have backfired!"
"Who exactly destroyed the horsemen?" Takahashi spoke for the first time.
"They were four spirit Digimon. They were very powerful. The god's had resided in them, giving them immeasurable power! I helped them find a way through the horsemen's trap that led to their own destruction."
"What were the names of these Digimon?" William asked, seeming to get interested.
"One was Taigamon, which bore the crest of Wisdom. Then there was Tsutamon, who bore the crest of Gentleness, and Katanamon who bore the crest of Nobility. Then the head of them all, Kagayakimon, bore the crest of Leadership."
"What happened to the spirits?" Takahashi asked.
"Well, some say they just died, but I think that they returned to the earth, waiting to be found again."
The sky had already darkened. Patrick yawned. "We can talk some more tomorrow. I'm tired!"
We all got up and found the most comfortable places to sleep. However, Takahashi couldn't sleep. He was too busy thinking.

Rain pours down as a dark figure stands in the middle of a forest clearing. An iron fence surrounds him. In front of him stand three graves. "Know, I call upon the Three Horsemen! Shinduo knowtta hera, Haka! Shinduo knowtta hera, Owari! Shinduprey hinata knowtta hera, Hallow!" Suddenly, the fresh earth in front of him broke apart. Three hands stuck out of the graves. The ground was blown apart. A blue glow lit up the night as the mysterious figure disappeared into nothing.

A bitter wind blew. "Crap! It's getting cold and all I have on is a T-Shirt and shorts!" Patrick groaned, trying to cover his shivering body.
The digidestined were in the middle of a field that led to a forest. The leaves were turning golden and brown. "Enkomon, does the Digital World have seasons?" Takahashi asked, looking around him.

"No time for fussing now! It looks like we have company!" Kagemon looked towards the sky.
"Raaaaaaacccccccckkkkkkk!!!!" A giant bird came swooping down at them.
"What in the world?" Patrick gasped for breath.
"It's a death bird!" Enkomon shouted over the loud gust of wind produced from the birds wings.
"A what?" Marie asked, covering her eyes.
"That's Karasumon, a raven Digimon! But, I wonder, who could have sent him?" Sakuramon paused for a second.
"Let's go!" Europamon roared. He started with a leap into the air. "There you are! Crimson Slash!" Just as Karasumon was coming upon him, he disappeared.

"Arc Streamer!"
"Crescent Slash!"
"Momoiro Haze!"
The attacks had no effect on the grey monster. He came right back and beat the heck out of them. He evaded their attacks left and right. He was fast and agile, and also very powerful!
"All right! Enkomon, now!" Takahashi held up his D-Trainer towards his partner. Then nothing happened. "What?" He looked down at his device. "Come on! Enkomon!" Again nothing happened.
"What's the matter with this thing?" Takahashi looked at it disgustedly.
"How are we going to win against this? It's so powerful!" Marie shrieked.
And for the first time, the Digimon spoke. "I am Hakamon, the third horsemen! Digidestined, you are no match for me! Pelting Tombs!" Tons of giant rocks flew down from the heavens, pouring on their hard-ridden Digimon.
"Then, it's true! The Three Horsemen are real!" Patrick shouted.
Takahashi panicked. 'How are we going to beat him? He is one of the horsemen!' he thought, sweat running down his face.
"Wand Of Souls!" Suddenly, Hakamon fell towards the ground. They strained to see what had caused this event. Then they saw, emerging from a cloud of dust, the ghostly figure.
Hakamon rose up from the ground, staring fiercely at the ghostly figure. "You? I thought you were destroyed long ago!" he said, snarling at him.
"Hakamon, you will leave these children alone!" it said, sticking it's staff into the air.
Hakamon chuckled. You mean to tell me that an Adult Level Digimon can stand in my way? Hehehehe!!!" His laughter was shrill and chilling. "Sorcerymon, you are the lowest vermin on the entire planet."
"Insults won't get you anywhere, Hakamon!"
"Enough talk! First, I'll kill you, then I'll start on the children. The Digidestined looked hopelessly at the towering grey monster. He swung at Sorcerymon. He dodged it just in time. Hakamon started throwing wild swings. "Pelting Tombs!" Rocks pushed Sorcerymon back, trapping him beneath their weight. "Now, for you little brats!" He turned to the Digidestined.
Their four Digimon arose and stood. "Sakuramon, what are you doing?" Marie asked, a frighten sound to her voice.
"We will defend you no matter what. You are our partners!" Sakuramon said, her fists clenching.
"Isn't that sweet? Well, you'll all taste sweet when you're in my stomach!" He cackled.
"You're just a lot of talk!" Patrick yelled.
"Don't give in to him!" A weak voice came from behind Hakamon. Sorcerymon was struggling to get up out of the rubble.
"So, you're still alive? Well, then! Rest In Pieces!" A blade extended from Hakamon's arms and he raced toward Sorcerymon. He then vanished. "What?" Hakamon stopped in midair.
"Have to be faster than that, Hakamon!" Sorcerymon appeared, standing before the Digidestined. "Enkomon, Sakuramon, Europamon, and Kagemon. Point your attacks directly at my staff! With enough power, it might be able to stop him!"
"Are you crazy little ghost? That could kill you!" William shrieked.
"That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make! Now, do it!" Hakamon rushed at them. "Now!"
Enkomon looked at Takahashi. "Go ahead!" Takahashi shouted.
"Golden Flare!"
"You too, Sakuramon!" Marie yelled out.
"Momoiro Haze!"
"Go Europamon!"
"Crimson Moon!"
"Kagemon, do it!"
"Silver Cloak!"
All the attacks were directed at the staff. Sorcerymon shook as it absorbed it all. "Ahhhhhh!" He stopped shaking and stood still, Hakamon advancing. "Staff Of The Immortal!"
The blast that emitted from the staff was so powerful, that it knocked the digidestined and their Digimon back. They heard a cry of agony. A pool of blood leaked out from under the engulfing light. Then there was silence. Sorcerymon appeared, holding his staff majestically.
"It worked! Good job, Europamon!" Patrick shouted, running over to his Digimon.
"Wow! Unbelievable!" William gasped.
"That was incredible!" Marie cheered.
Takahashi was silent as Sorcerymon walked up to them. A look of disbelief was on his face. "Digidestined, I am Sorcerymon, a wizard-type Digimon."
"So, finally, you tell s your name!" William said.
"Do not be jovial yet. There are still two horsemen left!"
"Can you give us some background on you? How did Hakamon know who you were?" Marie asked.
"Well, a long time ago, I worked for the Three Horsemen. Those were dark times! They destroyed everything in sight, gaining more and more power! Then, one night, I overheard them saying that they didn't need their minions anymore, so they would just destroy us all! Fortunately, I got away. I helped to destroy them, but now it seems to have backfired!"
"Who exactly destroyed the horsemen?" Takahashi spoke for the first time.
"They were four spirit Digimon. They were very powerful. The god's had resided in them, giving them immeasurable power! I helped them find a way through the horsemen's trap that led to their own destruction."
"What were the names of these Digimon?" William asked, seeming to get interested.
"One was Taigamon, which bore the crest of Wisdom. Then there was Tsutamon, who bore the crest of Gentleness, and Katanamon who bore the crest of Nobility. Then the head of them all, Kagayakimon, bore the crest of Leadership."
"What happened to the spirits?" Takahashi asked.
"Well, some say they just died, but I think that they returned to the earth, waiting to be found again."
The sky had already darkened. Patrick yawned. "We can talk some more tomorrow. I'm tired!"
We all got up and found the most comfortable places to sleep. However, Takahashi couldn't sleep. He was too busy thinking.
