This is the sequel to One World Isn't Enough. It takes place one year after the last chapter of One World Isn't Enough, which is twenty-one years after the Digidestined first entered the Digital World. The story is going to be much stranger than in the first book,' the powers of the Digidestined had grown more than any normal human could imagine. The year is 2020 -The Year of The Night- and prophecies are coming true. Powers grapple for control of the Digital, while a once dormant, power-hungry enemy awakens to join the fight. Alliances are formed, but the Aftermath of this is uncertain. The war rages on as clones of a fallen ally fight for darkness, something no one expected. Could the experiments that were conducted on someone result in the ultimate warrior, and would he be fighting for the Light or for the Darkness?
Eternal Night
The Chase
VincereNoctem@aol.com
TK and Kari ran through the darkened forest as fast as they could. The trees were like a blur as pure fear coursed through their veins. Several meters back, the Darkness Agents were closing, all they wanted was the married couple and their unborn child. Kari was quickly slowing down due to her condition, TK, I can't run anymore!
He pushed her forward as fast as her feet could move. If we get captured, they'll kill the baby, then us! We have to press on! Both of them ran through a shallow river, it was so cold, they could barely stand it. As they made their way out, their cloths dripped ice cold water, but they still had to move. We can lose them at the gateway up ahead! The foot steps of the Agents could be heard as they moved through the river. A deafening sound, similar to thunder, was heard echoing from the Agents. The trunks of the trees around TK and Kari blew outwards as billions of splinters. TK felt one of the splinters drive its way into his hand and out the other side, the pain was agonizing.
One of the faster Agents spoke out, In the name of Noctem, you will stop and surrender! TK shoved his hand into his pant's pocket, he removed a knife. He turned around and threw the knife at the head Agent. It flew into the Agent's chest, he fell to the ground. The body went through a series of spasms before its body exploded into pieces of black data. Two more Agents floated out of the ground, as if it wasn't there, only a few feet behind TK. Their hair was pitch black, which matched their black suits and ties. The skin was a ghostly white, and their bodies were very muscular. Most of them were roughly six feet tall. As the chase continued, their black shoes became covered with mud and clay.
We're almost at the gateway, just a few more meters! TK pushed Kari forward. One of the new Agents held out its right hand and shot a black energy ball. It moved faster than the married couple, but then shot past them. TK's cheerfulness was short lived as he realized the real target, the gateway. Most objects would pass through a gate and into the other world, but this was different. The gateway deformed into bizarre shapes and became an unholy black, sparks flew off of it. No! Our only hope! TK said as the gateway fell apart into bits of data, disappearing into the ground below. When it was completely gone, a rock wall was just behind it. The wall was too high to climb, and too dark to be safe. TK and Kari stopped when they couldn't move any further, they turned to face the approaching Agents. I'll protect you, TK said quietly as he put his left arm around her. The Agents assembled in front of them.
Do you surrender? Or do we have to take you by force? The new head Agent said coldly.
Does this answer your question? TK threw his hands up to form the blue-tinted barrier he was so accustomed to using. The barrier surrounded the two Digidestined, blocking the Agents from pursuing immediately.
A small smile spread across the Agent's dark exterior. Yes, it does. And it won't be long till we figure out a way to block your power too...

Davis kicked and punched the surrounding Agents as hard as he could. Nearby, Veedramon fought with all his might, but it was doing little good against the dozens of Agents. Davis forced another Agent's hands off of his neck so he could speak, Veedramon, digivolve! His blue D-3 glowed brightly as the digivolving process started.
Veedramon digivolve to... the blue dragon jumped into the air as the light grew brighter. Two huge, red wings sprang from his back, which were about twice his body size. Any talon, horn, and sharp appendage grew many times their previous size. The eyes became a gentle white and black combination, though that was only a deception of its true nature. ... AeroVeedramon.
AeroVeedramon, aim for the Agents around me!
Right! Magnum Crusher, an orange laser shot from his chest to the growing number of Agents crowding around Davis. He threw the Agents off of himself just as the laser hit. Each of them screamed in a way that could kill the holiest of creatures, their bodies slowly melted away into black data. AeroVeedramon slashed at the remaining Agents, resulting in the same scream and then deletion. That was too easy, Davis! Maybe we should do it again some--
Look, there's more of them... AeroVeedramon turned his head to the direction that Davis was looking at. In a distant golden-colored field, twice as many Agents that were destroyed were raising out of the ground, much like horrendous zombies. Davis tried to use his powers, but they, too, were blocked by the Dark Ocean. Even more Agents appeared as the sun was being covered by dark and gloomy clouds. It was too dark to be safe, for the Agents had blended in perfectly with their darkened surroundings. AeroVeedramon attempted to digivolve, but that was also being blocked. We've lost...

Joe frantically pushed the stretchers and cabinets in front of the double doors. He hoped the barricade would hold long enough for him to find another way out of the hospital. Dozens of fists started pounding against the doors, with enough force to eventually destroy the doors. It won't be able to hold them off too long! The pounding harder and harder, then it stopped. The air was too silent, something was going to happen, and it did. The door blew away with one large explosion. Dust in the air cleared away as the dozen or so Agents walked in. Joe tried to run to the other wall, but the head Agent shot a black energy ball just in front of Joe, stopping him in his tracks.
Don't try to run, we'll always find you...
**********************************************
Ken ran down the dirt road, in the middle of nowhere, with Wormmon. Dirt was thrown up into the air as his feet pounded against, rocks obstructing his run occasionally. The trees vibrated as the hundreds of Agents ran after him, closing fast Tears gently rolled down his face as he remembered his wife, Yolei, being captured by the Darkness. Ken threw Wormmon into the air, his black D-3 and crest glowing.
Wormmon warp-digivolve to... the small green Digimon grew to a much larger size. The first pillar of green light had turned the Digimon from a lowly insect to a huge, humanoid insect. The eyes were an eerie orange and the forceps were equipped with claws and spikes. The second pillar of light transformed the humanoid insect into a massive, hunched-over green monster. It had green armor and blue skin. Four wings on the back were the size of the Champion form, easily. The third, and final, pillar of light hit the massive insect, changing it into an immense beetle that had black skin, four legs, two huge four-clawed hands, and scissors for a mouth. The mouth was positioned to bite from a side to side fashion, instead of the usual up-and-down biting motion of most Digimon and humans. Gargantuan-sized black and red wings emerged from the back, they had no protection in case of emergencies. As the digivolving phase was coming to an end, it was easily eight stories high. ... GranKuwagamon.
The two back legs of GranKuwagamon crushed several Agents, blocking some of the others. Ken was lifted up by the giant, spiked hand, being protected every moment. Ken, don't worry, I'll deal with these monsters! The beetle Digimon turned around. the wave of black energy exploded from his body, forcing every Agent back several hundred meters. Here we go! GranKuwagamon flapped its four impressive wings, lifting its bulky body off the ground. Ken, is there any destination for us to go to?
Ken's long black hair flew around because of the updrafts caused by his Digimon. Ya, go to Tai's grave site. I have a feeling that will need protecting, and Sora might be there! He could barely hear himself speak as a result of the wing's flapping.
Why would she be there? GranKuwagamon asked.
It's been exactly eleven years since Tai died, we always pay respects at that time! But the Agents have disrupted everything! The giant Digimon nodded its huge, black head, then continued to fly towards Tai's grave. On the ground, the Agents began to awake to a painful realization that they had lost their target.
********************************************************
Come on, Honey! Matt yelled, to Mimi. He pulled her along as fast as she could move, but they were both very tired. Agents had been chasing them for days, little sleep between either of them. We're almost in the plane! Matt ripped out a small device from his pocket, pressed it, and the hanger in front of them slowly started to open. Both squeezed through the expanding opening, then ran for the plane. Matt forced the door open to the plane, shutting it after Mimi got in. He ran into the cockpit, all the computer systems activated.
Hello, Yamato Ishida. Hello, Mimi Ishida. Are you having a nice day? The automated computer spoke, in a soft, feminine voice.
Both yelled at once.
That is too bad. I hope your day cheers-- Matt shut off the speakers, the computer could no longer address them. The Agents were coming into view as the plane's engines started up.
Thank the Gods for digitally enhanced engines! Matt smashed a red button on the dashboard, causing the other' engines to abruptly start. The large, liner-like, plane to shot forward, running over several Agents. The craft lifted off the ground quickly, raising at a more than strange angle. Matt held the controls of the vessel tightly, hoping not to be caught.
Approaching Digital World entry speeds, the computer blurted out.
I thought I turned the speakers off! Matt, once again, searched out the speaker controls, hoping the systems would recognize the idea of off.'
On the ground, the Agents ran down the runway at the highest speeds their humanoid bodies could achieve. All, at once, went down on all fours, running like an animal. Their bodies split in half, and a Devidramon look alike came flying out. These creatures were definitely not Devidramon, they didn't have the attacks or six glowing eyes, and they were completely excluded from the Digimon category. They soared through the air, much faster than the plane the married couple were on. Each was ready to tear the plane apart.
Matt concentrated on the flying controls, when Mimi spoke. Matt, thirty-two Agents are approaching the plane!
How do you know? How are they flying? Matt was more concerned about the last question.
On the radar, thirty-two human-sized blips are approaching! Ah! Mimi heard the clanging of claw on the hull of the plane, each Agent holding on just for the hunt. A clawed hand ripped through the hull next to Matt's head, nearly killing him. Matt, we have to get to the Digital World!
Thirty-two Agents' clung to the plane, then a pinkish hole in space opened up. The sleek black plane past through the gateway, carrying the creatures with them.

Izzy sat down on a swivel stool, reviewing the data gathered by the ex-Alliance research base. Various holographic images were projected from the computers, surrounding him in his work. Each projection only dealt with one thing-- digivolving. Images of every known Digimon in process of digivolving played over and over again, focusing on different points each time. If this Digimon can produce x attack, then there must be a source of the attack. Oh, but there are no organs that allow this! Izzy brought up an image of Tentomon, His attack makes sense. Izzy brought up an image of Patamon, His is solved. He brought up an image of Biyomon, Partially solved. Izzy brought up an image of Gatomon, She's been-- a loud clanging sound started to echo on the base's walls. It started to get louder and louder, forcing Izzy to cover his ears. Computer, activate external sensors! Most of the holographic images dropped away, replaced by images of the area outside of the research base. Hundreds of Agents surrounded the base, attempting to get in. Computer, activate external and internal defenses! Automatic weapons dropped from the ceiling in the area Izzy was, as well as the area just outside. The PPR-style weapons shot dozens of Agents dead within seconds, their bodies exploding into black pieces of data. Computer, analyze intruders. Find weak points and strong points for all of them. Use that data to destroy more of them!
The computer rushed for the information, but it was having a backlog of data from the Digimon research and destruction of the Agents. Bodies of intruders are of the crystalline data family. Possible source location: northern shore of Dark Ocean. Weakest points: torso and joints. Constructing holographic map, the holopad in the center of the room, on the ground, flashed a bright white light, producing a three dimensional image of the attackers. Possible attack structure: energy wave technology built into body, producing a PPR-like attack.
Send all gathered data to Alliance home base! Now! Do it! Izzy yelled, to the computer. Transmitting' appeared on the main computer screen, all the data had been sent away for safe keeping. Computer, link main internal energy cannon to my neural implant! Just as Izzy said that, the Agents broke through the defenses and the walls. Izzy's senses were tied into the internal defenses, allowing him to fire some of the weapons. He shot several Agents, but more and more kept on coming. Izzy felt the cold hands of the Agents grab him from behind, then started to carry him away. Computer, continue neural connection...!
************************************************************
Vikemon, keep on attacking! We need to slow them down so we can get the children out! Cody screamed, to his Digimon, over the crying kids. This school will be destroyed if we don't stop them! Cody directed the dozen or so five year olds away from their damaged school building. The kids were either crying or absolutely quiet, both were very bad. He pushed the kids along, but stopped when he saw five Agents standing on top of the car in front of them. Kids, cover your ears! The tiny children complied to Cody's orders. He took out a PPR from his blue jacket, then started to shoot the orange-tinted energy balls. Two Agents were shot down from the car.
Don't do that again! the head Agent yelled. The remaining three Agents jumped down from the car, landing in front of the scared children. One of the braver kids ran to the head Agents, punching and kicking the Agent's leg. Cody watched in horror as the head Agent lifted the kid by the shoulder with one hand.
You think that you are better than the others. You act strong and brave, it only covers the cold heart inside, you could be corrupt. But, we have no use for kids. Besides, we got rid of the last person that acted like that eleven years ago! the head Agent said, frankly. He lifted his other hand, a black energy field formed around his hand. Do you fear death?
Not as long as my friends are safe! the young boy said.
How naive of you! You speak like a true warrior, true warrior always die! the Agent brought his energy covered hand closer to the boy's head. The other Agents seized the moment to capture Cody, he put up a little fight to the Agents. The school kids were shoved away, each getting hurt, crying. Cody watched in terror as the energy field got darker and darker, then fired.
No! How could you? Cody screamed in disgust. The head of the young boy was completely blown off by the attack. The head Agent dropped the lifeless, headless body to the ground, the other kids cried even louder. You monster!
Thank you. Now it's time to go home...
***************************************************************
Sora stood atop a hill, in front of Tai's grave, a willow tree hanging above her. A cold wind blew past her, a common occurrence nowadays at this grave. I miss you so much, Tai! I'll refresh your memory on what happened since the last time we spoke. TK and Kari got married about year after the war ended. Ken and Yolei got married about a month after the war ended, Sora laughed to herself. We all thought that Ken had sex with Yolei because he was vulnerable, but it turned out he really loved her! Then there's Matt and Mimi, they got married roughly three years after the war, they're so happy together! Izzy, well, Izzy got married to an American Digidestined named Helen. She actually has a Terriermon that can digivolve to Mega, the second one we know about, she smiled, thinking of the good times long spent. Davis is still bullheaded, but he has fun with TK's and Kari's children. I actually think he's jealous of TK for marrying Kari, he might like her. As we all expected, Joe is a doctor, he even helps Digimon in the Digital World! Sora looked to the base of the grave, the tiny flag brought by Cody of the Digital World Protectorate was still waving in the wind. And of course, the Digital World Protectorate is still in place, stopped the evil that plagues the Digital World! A cold wind blew, forcing Sora to hold her coat even closer to herself. The sky became dark and cloudy, rain started to fall upon the earth below. Every time.
Huge gales of wind swept across the green landscape, tree branches swayed in the thunderous squall. A loud laugh echoed from all directions, waiving off as the seconds passed. Sora looked all around the darkened land, she quickly removed her PPR from pocket. Deep moans exploded out across the land, directed to Sora. No one can stop us, this message spoken a deep, almost trustworthy voice. Black spheres of energy flew out from all directions, slamming in the base of the hill. Sora covered her eyes as clouds of dust blew into her once gentle eyes. A bright red light flashed out of her D-3, alerting Sora's attention even more. Most of the dust cleared away, enough so that she could make out hundreds of figures moving in the distance, coming towards her.
Success! My first chapter of Eternal Night is complete! I'm also happy to say that I have this story planned out to chapter seven. Everything about this story is different,' to say the least. The final chapters of this undertaking will be amazing, huge fights galore! All stops have been pulled out, nothing should surprise you. Thousands will die on both sides, ranging from war to bizarre, unknown diseases. Let's say that the Digidestined will never be quite whole once this is over. Depressing scenes will most likely fill each chapter! Joy upon joy! Rewrites to this chapter will probably happen later. So, I hope you enjoy this story!

There are many things you do not know about the Digital World, or the Dark Ocean, for that matter. My powers stretch across countless worlds! But the point I am getting to, do you know how many worlds there are?
