Sponsor: Not another cliff-hanger!

21: And now, without further ado, I proudly present...

Episode 15: Power Corrupted

(Rachel): So George got blown back to the real world in the aftermath of the fight with Satanmon. He discovered that parts of him were blurry. Azulogmon and Falconmon told the rest of us that he would be back, but since time flow was different between the two worlds it would probably not be for a while. They also told us that George had been injured when he was transported into the digital world and that he was no longer fully human. George is probably not very happy right now.

"George, you are no longer fully human," Falconmon stated.

"Well then what am I?!" George shouted.

"You are a combination of human and data components," Azulongmon said appearing much calmer than he felt.

"It's ok George," Hannah stated, sympathetically.

"NO! IT'S NOT OK!!...I'm sorry. I guess I just—" George said.

"We forgive you," Dan stated earnestly.

"Yeah, it's not everyday you find out something as extreme as this," Jimmy declared.

"But how did it happen?" George wondered

"Well, you were the very first human to ever be transported, so there was an undiscovered virus in the transport program. When we noticed that it was attacking you, we froze the program, but it was too late for you," Azulongmon explained.

"The virus had eaten about half of your body and you had lost a lot of blood. The only way to ensure that you would live was to replace all of the parts the virus had eaten with data," Falconmon continued.

"Although you all were in stasis, the world wasn't. That is why you got here during the morning, instead of night time, which it had been when you had first began you 'journey'. After patching you up, we made sure the virus was eliminated and continued the program. Nobody else was damaged by the virus," Azulongmon concluded.

"Well I guess that makes me special," George said sarcastically.

"Actually, it does. You see the crest you have been given a great responsibility. Allow me to explain; Hannah has the crest of STRENGTH, Rachel has the crest of DETERMINATION, Jimmy has the crest of LOYALTY, and Dan has the crest of HONOR. Buy you alone George have been entrusted with the dangerous crest of POWER, any other being would be unable to remain totally uncorrupted by the sheer power within that crest," Falconmon stated.

"Congrats dude!" Dan said, slapping George on the back.

"I always knew you had it in you." Jimmy said, shaking George's hand.

"Yeah," Hannah agreed, knowing there was always something special about George.

George walks up to Rachel, who has been very quiet up to this point.

"Rachel…" George pleaded.

"Don't talk to me right now!" Rachel said coldly, turning away from him.

"But—" George objected.

Rachel starts to cry. "Look, it's over…I just can't date someone who isn't a human…" she sobbed.

"But I'm still me!" George exclaimed getting angry and frustrated.

"I'm sorry I just can't—" Rachel tried to explain

George cut her off. "You know what? Forget it! We're through! All of us!" (looks at the other Digidestined) "that includes you too. I've had it!"

"But George—" Hannah objected looking concerned at the anger emanating from George.

"No buts! This is it. We've defeated Satanmon. Why don't the rest of you just go home where humans belong?" George said coldly turning away from his friends and beginning to walk away.

"You belong with us too dude!" Dan shouted.

George paused. "You really think so?! Well I'm not going back," he declared icily.

"Actually none of you are going back yet…" Azulongmon stated.

"And why not?!" George asked angrily.

"Your job is not complete. You must journey to the continent of Driver and eliminate the evil there," Falconmon explained

"And why should I? why should I do what you say? You've deceived me! I won't tolerate it any longer!!" George shouted.

Suddenly a ray of black light shoots out of the sky and hits George, instantly transforming him. His clothes all become jet black, his hair is now jet black, and he is now wielding a black sword. His facial expression is one of utmost rage and a fury beyond what any of the digidestined (or sovereigns) had ever seen. His eyes are glowing blood red, and his muscles expand so they are 40 times bigger than before (not that they hadn't been big before, but now its as though he's on 20 different steroids at once)

"Oh no!! He's corrupting his power!" Azulongmon said, fear becoming visible in his features.

"This is terrible, even we're no match for that kind of power!" Falconmon declared nervously.

Suddenly another dark ray hits Crocmon. George's crest of Power begins to glow with a black light and so does Crocmon.

"Crocmon dark warp digivolve to—BlackDragonmon!!"

BlackDragonmon is a massive dragon 60 times Dragonmon's size. It's steel-like scales are pitch black reflecting no light. The most prominent feature of BlackDragonmon are his eyes. They are a complete void, such that there appears to be no life in them.

"Wh-wh-what's that thing?" Rachel stammered.

"Oh no! that's BlackDragonmon! He is a fierce digimon who has never been beaten in combat in his entire life! His Dark Power, Tainted Missile, and Fury Blast have reduced numerous digimon to pixels in nanoseconds" (note: nano is 10 to the -9th power i.e. very fast) Dilmon explained.

Narrator: Will the Digidestined be able to withstand the attack of George and BlackDragonmon and convince George to join them once more? Or will George and BlackDragonmon blast them to bits in nanoseconds? Find out next time on Digimon: Digital Monsters
