Episode Two: Fight for the Right of Destiny

Isca slowly removed her goggles and placed them on a nearby ledge. I believe I am the chosen one to lead this group, she thought, but if I loose this fight, my first fight, then I prove that I'm not and that destiny did make a mistake.

"Let the fight commence," Isca announced. She lifted her digivice and yelled, "Salamon give it all you've got!

"I wouldn't do it any other way!" she said.

Then Yasin yelled, "Show no mercy Thunbirdramon!"

Thunbirdramon dove at Salamon, electricity all around him.

"Salamon move!" Isca yelled. But Salamon's reaction was too slow; she was hit and electrocuted. "Salamon!" Isca yelled. But Salamon bounced right back up.

"He won't beat me Isca," she said. "We can make it, our minds must be linked as one."

"You know," said Yasin, "you could make this real simple and just hand over the goggles."

"No!" Isca yelled. "A true leader fights till the end and never gives up."

"You go girl," Kaze screamed a bit too loud.

"You still think you're the leader?" Yasin growled.

"Of course not," Isca said. "I believe it!" And with that the battle raged on.

"She has a good heart and great determination," Imperialdramon stated.

"She is a good leader."

"Well of course she is, that is exactly the reason I picked her, and also because I know that she knows much about Digimon already," Lucemon agreed.

"The question is, will she be able to win this match? The future is inevitable, either she wins or looses," Omnimon stirred.

"I am not sure she can win this battle. Her partner seems to weigh her down."

"You dare question the power of a Salamon?" Ophanimon asked sternly.

"We'll never get anywhere if we keep arguing," Seraphimon stated.

"We're not arguing, just merely having a difference of opinions."

"I think we should just declare war!" Omnimon stated.

"NO" Lucemon stated. "That is exactly the opposite of what we are trying to do, this council is behaving no better than the digidestined! Now watch and learn from their mistake as too not let history repeat itself again!

Meanwhile the digidestined were totally unaware of the situation going on miles away from them. They had their own battle going on at the moment. "Salamon attack," Isca yelled.

"Petty punch!" Salamon yelled.

Thunbirdramon took a small blow to the stomach, only for Salamon to be lightly shocked. Thunbirdramon flew back a couple feet and then flew back on the offensive, diving down again lightning surrounding its body. "Lightning Sky Dive!"

Salamon moved out the way successfully this time. "Puppy Howling!" she screeched.

Thunbirdramon was hit by the attack and fell onto Yasin. "Please stop this pointless fighting."

"The only way this'll stop is if you forfeit.

"Never."

"Then the battle will rage on. Salamon use…..

She never got to finish as a giant sword was thrown through the battle field, landing an inch away from the goggles. Dinohyumon stepped from the shadows. "Digidestined, you have come here to end my existing purpose, therefore I must destroy you!"

"At least now the fighting may end," Kerpymon stated flatly.

"Not only that but a new battle will begin," Omnimon added.

"I have no doubt they can beat this enemy," Ophanimon agreed.

"Now is truly the time the digidestined must work together though," Lucemon said. "They'll put aside their differences for a better cause. This has been taught to them through the show. They shall succeed!"

"Just like the digidestined of my time," Omnimon said.

"If Omnimon has faith then we all should," Seraphimon added.

"From time to time each digidestined child has grown stronger and stronger," Imperialdramon stated. "This shall be no different."

Then everyone turned again to the crystal ball. Can they really put aside their differences? Lucemon asked himself. Or is this quest just as pointless as everyone believes it is? I can only hope I've made the right choice. That is my destiny. And then he too looked into the crystal ball.

Without even thinking, Isca grabbed her goggles off the ledge and darted off to oppose Dinohyumon. "This fight cannot be disrupted," Yasin yelled. "I am supposed to prove to you all that I am the leader of this group, the true leader!"

And then a voice whispered to Yasin that only he could hear. "Come to me," it whispered, "this is not what you want, for I can offer you much better." Then Yasin was surrounded in Darkness and he saw the being whispering to him. Nefariousmon!

"You," Yasin said. "You're evil, you're probably the very thing the digidestined were sent here to destroy, aren't you?"

All that came from Nefariousmon was a light "hmm."

"I'll never join you!" Yasin continued. "If I can't be their leader I'll be all that I can be, their friends!" Then Yasin struggled to leave, but to no avail.

"You have made the biggest mistake of you life," Nefariousmon stated. "You have filled your heart with anger and misery and with that you lose your control." Then Yasin went breathless and collapsed to the floor with dark blank eyes staring at what they could not see.

Everyone was so busy with Dinohyumon they didn't even notice Yasin had gone out cold for a while. When he had woken up Nefariousmon was in control. "Please," Isca asked, "abandon this opposition you have to become leader. We need to work together to defeat this guy."

For a minute the real Yasin gained control. "Right we'll work together, that's what friends do!" and then Nefariousmon took control.

"Ok Salamon, Petty Punch and don't let him get to his sword!"

"Your reaction time is a bit late little girl," Dinohyumon said, his sword drawn. Then in the swiftest of move he had Shelby held by the hair with a knife raised to her throat. "Surrender now or she dies."

"You wouldn't," Chris demanded.

"Yes I would and don't press my patience." Dinohyumon demanded, "Now choose her life or surrender."
