The Digidestined have escaped from the Dark Ocean. Someone is trapped in the Dark Ocean. Agents have been dispatched by Noctem to recapture the Digidestined. None of this will end nicely...
Please Note: There are some very long digivolving scenes in this!

Why do you need them? Helen asked, being just a bit puzzled. They've been safe for awhile now! They came here six hours ago, she walked over to Izzy's side, placing her hand on his shoulder.
I have a feeling they were also being chased by the Agents, but I don't know how they escaped. So where are they? TK moved away from the metal crate. And we need to prepare for the occasion the Agents come back for a fight! The Main Hall was a large spherical room, going up six floors. Catwalks lined the walls all the way to the top, covered with busy Digidestined from the Real World. Everything was a shining, silver metal, reflecting the light from the flood lights on the ceiling and the walls. Digimon belonging to the Digidestined moved around the entire base; Rookies carried small items; Champions lifted crates; Ultimates carried whole shipments of rations and computers; while the few Megas acted as guards and over-lookers. TK walked down a hall away from the Main Hall, the others followed along, not wanting to miss anything. A metal door slid open as TK approached it, exposing the Tactical Room to him. Sora, are you here? the red head looked up from a holographic projection of the Dark Ocean.
Sora ran over to him, the other Digidestined slowly entered the room. We couldn't locate your D-3 signals in the Dark Ocean, we were so worried! Ken walked over from the Briefing Room, a smile on his face. We've been flooded with reports from our freelance Digidestined about the appearances of the Agents all over the Digital World.
Ken ran over to Yolei, hugging her as hard as he could. I missed you so much, Yolei! Are you okay? she slowly nodded, escaping from Ken's grip. Sorry about that, a small blush came over Ken's cheeks. Matt walked over to his seat, assuming command of his post-- external defenses. He flipped a switch on his armrest, causing the chair to rise towards the ceiling. Holographic controls materialized around his hands, allowing him to have access to the systems. Kari walked over to the image of the Dark Ocean that was projected from the holopad in the center of the room.
Sora, is this an up-to-date map of the Dark Ocean? Sora turned away from her discussion with Mimi and TK, nodding. Kari looked back to the map, closing her eyes, I'm attempting to get some information. TK, stay here to make sure I don't faint! he smiled as Kari activated her powers. The holographic image of the Dark Ocean flickered for a second, then dozens of red dotes appeared on the map. Kari smiled, I used my powers to find the locations of every port opened in the last thirty minutes. The map of the Dark Ocean shrank to an even smaller size, then dozens of spheres formed around the first map. Lines manifested themselves from the red dotes, each connecting to a different sphere. This doesn't make sense, it says Agents have been dispatched to dozens of worlds!
TK walked up to the map, Now I know what Noctem meant by when he said they were fighting a war on two hundred fronts! They must have found other worlds to conquer! he ground his teeth at the thought that Noctem has complete control of some worlds. Kari gasped all of a sudden, she fell away from holopad; TK caught her as she fell.
Noctem! It touched my mind! she slammed her hands against the sides of her head. Kari screamed, causing the eyes of every Digidestined around her to fall upon her. They're coming! Agents are coming to get us! Kari's powers finally shut off, leaving her mind alone once again. Everything calmed down again for a second, but it was short lived when the entire base was rocked by an unknown force. They're here!
Izzy ran over to the holopad, waving his hand through the images. Each map dropped away, being replaced by a map of the Protectorate headquarters. Circular red dots on the map represented elevators moving up and down their shafts, Digimon moving around the base, and military forces moving to the outside to fight. We have attackers on every side of the base! a holographic image of a yellow-tinted dome appeared around the base, symbolizing the shield grid. Hundreds of black dots circled the grid, appearing to be slamming themselves against the defenses. We just get out from harm's way when we get attacked again! Izzy joked, a sly smile on his face. Ten silhouettes of Airdramon came into view of the scanners, also attacking the top shield grids. The partner Digimon can't stand a chance against the Agents at their levels, we need to intervene! he pulled out his D-3. Where are our partner Digimon?
We're right here! Gatomon came running out of the Briefing Room, followed by the other partner Digimon. Are we going to fight now? a smile came over the feline Digimon. Sora waved the partner Digimon to her, then ran out of the Tactical Room to the Main Hall. TK sighed deeply, noting that every fight had to become a big campaign for war. Matt jumped down from his seat, then ran after Sora; the others quickly followed. Kari, can I digivolve now? she nodded her head in agreement. Great! Gatomon warp-digivolve to... the feline Digimon digivolved to Angewomon when the pink pillar of light hit her. Another, and last, pillar of light hit the Angel Digimon forced her to the Mega. The Digimon was long and white, the fur tinted pink in places. Ten small wings grew from the back, they served little use. She had green eyes, long teeth, and a white mane that hid most of the long ears. Four small limps were positioned on the underside of the glorious Digimon. ... Magnadramon.
Patamon warp-digivolve to... the tiny Digimon instantly changed into Angemon when a pillar of light hit him. A second pillar of light hit, forcing him into the armored Magnaangemon. The last pillar of light induced the transformation to Mega. The Angel Digimon had eight golden wings, and lightweight, silver armor protected the legs from injury; while layered blue and silver armor covered the arms and body. A golden, silk-like cloth came down from the waist, the pictograms upon it glowed a wonderful yellow light. ... Seraphymon.
Gabumon warp-digivolve to... a blue pillar of light struck the Rookie Digimon, forcing it to the Champion. A second pillar of light hit the wolf Digimon, turning it into the Ultimate-level werewolf, WereGarurumon. The last pillar of light slammed into the Digimon forcing into a Mega. The Digimon was once again on all fours, but had several additions to it. He was more of a cyborg than anything else, blue and gold armor was integrated into the midsection, head, and legs. The tail was also gold, having no flesh to it. ... MetalGarurumon.
Armadillomon warp-digivolve to... the yellow pillar of light hit the mammal Digimon head on. He changed to his Champion form, Ankylomon. Then the second pillar hit, forcing him into his Ultimate form, Shakkoumon, a giant silver, artifact-like Digimon with angel wings. And, finally, the last pillar of yellow light slammed into the Ultimate Digimon, it changed into its last form. On his back sat two huge, spiked clubs, and upon each shoulder sat two shields. The was large and woolly, but had a relatively small head between the shields. ... Vikemon.
Terriermon jumped into the air, a gently, green light emerging from his body. Terriermon warp-digivolve to... a green mist encircled the Digimon's body, changing the Digimon into the Champion-level, Gargomon. A darker mist surrounded the body, forcing the mammal Digimon into his Ultimate form, Rapidmon. The last amount of mist was the darkest, almost black in color. Magnificent green armor covered his body, concealing rockets positioned on the chest and shoulders. There was no hands, only rocket launchers made for mass destruction. A tiny dog-like face was surrounded by green armor, including one metal spike on the forehead. ... SaintGargomon.
Veemon digivolve to... the little blue dragon glowed an eerie black light. The body grew to a size of about nine feet, while claws grew from the hands, feet, and head. A huge mouth was lined with razor sharp teeth that could cut almost anything. A blue v' appeared on the white chest as the digivolving process was coming to an end. Finally, a long blue tail sprang out. ... Veedramon.
Veedramon digivolve to... the giant blue and white dragon was once again surrounded by an eerie light. Claws grew longer and sharper, while most of the body became more rugged looking. Huge unevenly-edged, red wings grew from the back. The v' on the chest became larger and a darker blue, now taking up most of the chest. The horns above the eyes became black and shimmered in the light. The dragon was now about twenty feet high. ... AeroVeedramon.
Hawkmon warp-digivolve to... the bird Digimon flew up into the, a gentle red light glowing from his body. He transformed into his Champion form, Aquilamon, a massive red eagle with horns. The light became brighter as the eagle changed into his Ultimate form, Silphymon, a Digimon with a bird-like boy with angel features. The light reached its brightest when the Digimon metamorphosed into the Mega form. He had a golden hawk resting upon his right arm, sitting patiently. A sword was held within a holder positioned at his waist; it had a glorious golden radiance to it. Metal wings colored white and red grew from his back, pointing rigidly towards the ground. Gold armor covered the legs and his left arm, also covering the eyes as a visor. ... Valkyrimon.
Ken bent down to the ground, looking at Wormmon. You're too big at your Mega form to digivolve here, hitch a ride with Valkyrimon. The green Digimon smiled at his partner, then was surprisingly lifted up into the air by Yolei's Digimon. Massive sliding doors at the ceiling opened slowly, natural sunlight poured into the Main Hall. Ken's D-3 activated when the warrior Digimon reached the open air.
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.
Palmon warp-digivolve to... the plant Digimon digivolved into her Champion form, Togemon, a cactus-like Digimon. Flower pedals sprouted from the head, then a fairy Digimon came flying out, flaunting her power. A pink light surrounded her body, resulting in all her features becoming more pronounced. The thin wings transformed into a long silver cape, it glistened in the light. A long thorn covered whip was held in her left hand, a green sword in her right. Her head was basically only a flower, her mouth only visible. ... Rosemon.
Joe looked around the Main Hall, most of the Digimon were at Mega and flying out of the building. He wished to have Gomamon back, along with his D-3. I miss you so much, Gomamon, he coughed out. Joe noticed Tentomon fly passed him, he was starting the digivolving sequence, too.
Tentomon warp-digivolve to... a soft purple light erupted from his body. His wings grew outwards, almost slamming into the walls around him. The small forceps changed into a deep blue, then increased in length, splitting into four separate arms. His head was hard and gray, blue was the predominant color elsewhere. He changed around, bringing him to the Ultimate level. The wings glowed, the came together as a hard shell, covered his entire back. Each hand became larger, changing their finger positions, making him seem more alien. A massive horn grew out of the head, the center of his attacks at the Ultimate level. But a finale explosion of light transformed him into his Mega, a giant beetle Digimon. The single horn split into three distinct horns, the shadows of each hid the eyes from view. Wing covers grew over the paper-thin wing that he used to fly with. The hands only had three fingers, one less than before. His exoskeleton was light brown, accompanied by a few red markings on the arms and legs. ... HerculesKabuterimon.
All the other Mega Digimon flew out the base, Biyomon followed out faithfully. Biyomon warp-digivolve to... a wave of fire flew out of her body. She instantly changed into her Champion form, Birdramon, a fiery bird Digimon. Another wave of fire struck the Digimon bringing her to the Ultimate, Garudamon. The last blast of fire covered the Digimon, transforming the bird Digimon to her Mega form. Four golden wings --two on each side-- flapped majestically. A long tail of golden and red feathers trailed down almost twenty feet. Amazing hues of yellow, orange, red, and purple covered the features around the head and the back. ... Phoenixmon.
Outside of the base, the Agents slammed their bodies into the defenses of the Protectorate base. The Airdramon circled patiently until they noticed the doors to the Main Hall were opened. Each of the Digimon flew at full speed to ram the barrier, hoping to shatter it. Star Light Explosion, those words echoed out of the base. With one great flash of light, a massive wave of flames flooded the air, destroying three of the Airdramon instantly. Phoenixmon came flying out, alongside the other partner Digimon. The remaining seven enemies charged forward, shooting out thousands of needles.
Giant Missile, SaintGargomon called out. Hundreds of missiles flew out, exploding on contact. Yet another trio of Airdramon were obliterated by the attack, leaving only four.
Magnum Crush, AeroVeedramon's clawed feet slammed into one of the enemies, destroying it.
Seraphymon approached the three surviving Digimon, Seven Heavens, seven fireballs shot out of the Angel's hands. Several fireballs hit the helpless aerial Digimon, ripping off their wings and horns. The last fireballs struck them with great accuracy, incinerating them within seconds. With those enemies gone, the partner Digimon flew towards the ground, ready to fight the Agents.
The twelve Digidestined watched the Agents attacking the shield grid, only a few feet away. Each of them knew that they couldn't help, they'd get captured and taken back to the Dark Ocean. All of the partner Digimon flew into view, slamming into the Agents. TK looked down to his D-3, noticing a golden light glowing from the screen. Kari saw TK looking down, also seeing the light, then saw the light also coming from her D-3. Our Digimon could DNA digivolve anytime now, TK, the light got brighter. The digieggs on the screen of her D-3 flashed their own independent colors, the same as the respective crests. Stupid digieggs, they never did activate, just like Ken's. By the time Kari looked up again, there was about twice as many Agents fighting, presumably many were already killed. A similar golden light was shining out of Matt's D-3, but flickered on and off, then died. Kari questioned why that happened, but didn't bother to follow it. Phoenixmon whipped out about fifty Agents with one attack, yet another hundred approached in the distance. GranKuwagamon landed on several Agents, then released a wave of black energy, destroying even more. The two Holy Digimon flew in and out of the Agents, cutting their bodies to pieces.
I don't know how much more our Digimon can take if the Agents keep on coming like this! Helen cried out.
****************************************************************
A bizarre gray creature, devoid of all expressions, floated into the room, approaching the man buried in the shadows. The man slowly acknowledged the syringe in its hand, filled with a metallic liquid. Bellator Tenebris, it is time! the man glared at the creature. It laughed, You know that you require these every twenty-four hours, so don't resist! it prepared the syringe for injection.
Why do you give me these injections? Are you really that afraid of my powers? he leaned closer. Or is Noctem just the one that's afraid of my powers? the man laughed this time. It grabbed his chin, ready to break it off, but relinquished its grip. A sly smirk spread across his face, Can't kill me! If Noctem found out that you did that he plunge you into a fate worse than death! Much like myself, the smile melted away. It watched with disgust, knowing he was right. The computer graphs to the right of Bellator Tenebris expressed various ups and downs of his resistance levels, and how his powers were fully suppressed. It checked the injection for no obstructions, spraying some of the liquid on the floor. Tearing off a sleeve on the prisoner's tattered shirt, it brought the cold metal to the bare flesh. Bellator Tenebris prepared for the body racking pain that follows, there was no stopping it. Just as the sharp metal was a mere millimeter, the whole area shook violently.
An earthquake? it screamed out. The Dark Ocean never had these geological events, there was no tectonic movements, or a molten core, for that matter. It fell to the ground, the syringe falling out of its hand, shattering to pieces. Just as soon as it started, the earthquake stopped. A moment of eerie silence fell upon the room, a silence capable of destroying a mind. Bellator Tenebris laughed, causing a chill to overcome the creature. It quickly noticed the graphs on the computer, one bar graph shifted into the red range.
He stopped laughing abruptly, glaring at the creature. You attempted to control the most powerful being on three worlds, but you failed! particles of gentle, blue energy floated through the air, falling to the ground like snow. You attempted to control all of the worlds, but you are failing! the particles came together, forming long, blue chains, wrapping around everything in the room. You attempted to kill the ones I love, in the process taking me away from them! the room was bathed in a gentle glow from the energy, pushing the darkness away. Now you will pay for it! with one great explosion of light, coming from the man's body, and the particles to a lesser extent, the whole compound was destroyed. Miles on surface structures and underground tunnels were gone, obliterated with a single attack. Bellator Tenebris stood in the center of the massive crater, soft crackling sounds came from all directions as the energy dissipated into nothingness. All the tubes running in and out of his body were gone, leaving his skin perfect once again. The creature that attempted to give him the injection sat lifeless on the ground, breaking into data moments later. Black dust floated in the air around Bellator Tenebris, then flew onto his body, covering his body. All of his features were concealed, the black substance keeping his appearance unknown. His soft hair was gone, his eyes larger than usual, and strangely white. His mouth wasn't present, but he could still speak if required. I love my powers! he turned away from the scene as he noticed the water from the Dark Ocean creep into the crater like a slime. Walking only a few feet, his entire body broke into data, which swirled around before disappearing; the teleported out of the area.
Noctem floated over the rubble of his demolished base, Perhaps I shouldn't have attempted to open the gateway for him. Very well, I shall acknowledge this problem, it waved its hand, an Agent --wearing the special suit to protect him from the pressure change-- emerged from the ground much like a zombie. From here on in, all Agents are reassigned to the project of finding Bellator Tenebris! Noctem informed the Agent, it bowed compliantly. A gateway opened behind him, leading to another base, he walked in, giving the reassignment. The gateway closed instantly afterwards, leaving Noctem to itself in the crater. This could be fun...
***************************************************************
The partner Digimon fought bravely against the Agents, but were slowly tiring out. At this point, there was roughly four hundred Agents attacking, more coming. SaintGargomon flew around Agents, launching dozens of missiles into their backs-- bringing instant death. Phoenixmon used her massive feet to lift Agents off the ground, throwing them away from the base. The Digidestined watch carefully, each wishing they could help. Just as TK and Kari were going to allow their partner Digimon DNA digivolve, each Agent froze. All of them spoke at once, Reassignment received, echoing across the land. They stood up, with rigid backs, then walked away; the Digidestined witnessed this, seemingly awe struck. Orders will be carried out, the Agents said, simultaneously. The partner Digimon downgraded, then moved slowly towards a door into the base, watching carefully behind them.
Mimi bent down onto one knee, looking at Palmon. What happened out there?
We don't know, they just left! But it was probably better this way, I don't think we could've survived much longer, Palmon sighed.
TK turned to Matt and Kari, We have to find out what they're doing! It isn't like Noctem to just give up, especially when he's winning. I think it's time to recall all those that participated in the last war, the Digidestined alone cannot win this! Matt and Kari nodded. Each of them walked away from the others, their Digimon partners followed obediently. The doors to the tactical room slid open, allowing them access. Matt, you might as well send out the signal, I'll make sure some of our Digimon allies will help, Matt agreed. TK was heading towards one of the consoles, when he heard someone crying.
TK, we're never going to get them back! she cried out, more tears pouring out. We're never going to get our children back! other Digidestined in the room overheard Kari's words.
TK was heartbroken to hear Kari saying this, Don't worry, we'll get them. We've all been very strong so far! I know for a fact that Helen is also hurting about this, as well as Mimi. The other guys have also been hurt to see their children ripped from their arms by the Agents! he calmed down. We will get them back if it's the last thing I do, a smile came over Kari, but the pain was still lingering.
Matt walked over, having already sent out the signal, We all miss them. Mimi broke down a few days ago, just before we were captured, Kari, he looked to TK. Bro, I job is finished. I'm expecting a reply-- the comm station started beeping, within the hour. A reply already? Matt moved to the computer, pressing a few buttons. A hansom American came onto the screen at the station. He was tall, and well defined; looked classy, but seemed to have a dangerous side to him. He had soft brown hair, parting in the middle. Muscles were there, but, yet again, he didn't seem to rely on them. Devon McPherson, you seem a tad eager, Matt said, rather coolly.
Yeah, nice to see you, too! McPherson said, with a laugh. I got your signal, what's going on now?
TK got up, facing the screen, A new war has started! The enemy is called Noctem, it's from the Dark Ocean, he sighed deeply. This will be unlike the last war, Noctem seems to be more digitally-based than organically-based. It also has an army large enough to take over our worlds, apparently. Up to the challenge of a lifetime, Devon? the American smiled, then nodded. Good. I'm opening a gateway for you to enter the Digital World, the screen deactivated. Hey, Matt, open the gate! TK yelled out, Matt grumbled, then walked over to another station. He punched in several command codes, and the system acknowledged the order. In the meantime, TK bent down again, looking at Kari. We will get them back, I promise!
For the next half-hour, there was an eerie silence in the room, despite the busy Digidestined working. Everyone had left to do their own things in the base; though, there was some depression thoroughly rooted in. Yolei had walked in with Hawkmon, asked Kari what was wrong, got the answer, then became upset, as well. Devon McPherson had arrived at the base, along with some people that participated in the last war that were with him at the time. Matt worked quietly at his station, looking over some paperwork. TK and Kari had moved into the Briefing Room to have more silence; TK did occasionally twirl around in his seat, acting more childish than usual. The silence was broken suddenly, Mr Takaishi, come here! Quick! called out by a female Digidestined in her twenties.
What is it? said TK, inquisitively. He got up from his seat, then walked over, What's going on, Marise? She waved her hand over the holopad, bringing up maps of the three worlds.
Noctem's Agents are all over the worlds, appearing to be searching for something! The count says there's over three million of them just looking! she spoke quickly, panicking slightly.
TK sighed, This isn't good...
*****************************************************************
Bellator Tenebris walked through a quiet forest, pushing through the waist-high grasses. The same protective, black covering was still on his body, hiding his humanly features. Only now, he also had a brown robe to keep him warm, and to conceal him even more. His plain white eyes pierced through the darkness created by the hood, carefully surveying the land for obstacles. Most find the Digidestined, they need me. Only I can help them in the Final Destiny, only I, a gust of wind sent a chill up his spine. Friendship. Love. Reliability. Knowledge. Sincerity. Hope. Light. Kindness. Miracles. Destiny. Decimation. Change. None of those Crests can fight the coming Darkness alone! a sense of anger came over him with the idea of the Digidestined losing what they hold dear-- the Digimon. Why can't I sense them? Are the Bearers of Light, Hope, and Love purposely blocking me?
As Bellator Tenebris pushed onwards, three Agents watched carefully from atop a tree. Each of them glared at their target, knowing what they have to do. the head Agent asked, the other two nodded affirmatively. Good. Let's go! each of them jump from the tree, soaring gracefully through the air. The head Agent landed in front of Bellator Tenebris, the other two landed behind him. The Agent spoke, Come with us, and no one will get hurt! the target continued walking. Stop now!
Bellator Tenebris stopped in his tracks, He rose his arms shoulder level, then waved his hands towards each other. The Agents in front suddenly broke in half, the pieces flying in different directions; the body promptly broke down into data. The two remaining Agents charged forward, ripples of energy encircled their hands. Bellator Tenebris remained still as the Agents shot blast after blast of energy, smoke filled the air once they stopped firing. Is that the best you can do? he said, in a godly tone. The smoke cleared, but there was no body or an injured person, nothing at all. Right here, boys! both Agents looked up. In the air, Bellator Tenebris floated in the air, his robe swaying in the wind. He curled his fingers into a fist, black energy quickly surrounded his hands. he fired the energy at the opposing Agents, hitting them with great accuracy. One Agent fell to the ground, breaking into data seconds later. Give up? Bellator Tenebris asked, the energy continued to accumulate around his hands. The Agent jumped up, kicked off a tree, and attacked with his bare hands. Bellator Tenebris gracefully moved out of the way, the Agent moved past him, but ricocheted off another tree. The Agent flew towards his target, but a just as he was going to attack, a black-tinted barrier formed in front of Bellator Tenebris, blocking the Agent. I grow tired of you! he fired the massive amount of energy at the Agent, destroying the enemy on contact. Bellator Tenebris landed on the ground, then resumed walked. They're all the same...
I finally finished this thing! With the problem of FanFiction.Net not working, then I go on a little vacation, I have had no inspiration/time to write. *screams* As I said in the previous chapter, Bellator Tenebris will play a HUGE part in this story (you'll be delightfully surprised by how much). Something to consider, that black thing' around my character is for protective purposes, and will have more explained about later in the story. When Bellator Tenebris has the stuff' on him, think of him looking like Spawn, minus the cape, chain, spikes, ect. You may take the digivolving scenes for your own stories, but give me credit. I will find you if you don't! I also apologize for some of the bad scene setups, I'll try to fix them later.
And will you people please review this story! I'm so tired of having only one review, one that barely makes sense! I will continue to write this without your support, but the quality of the work will decline rapidly. I promise this will get better!

My master will come to this world! No one can stop me, or my goals. Now get out of the way!
