Third chapter done. Sorry that it took so much time, but I'll make up for it somehow. Anyway enjoy.
Chapter 3: Metal city and Digimon Emperor's Real identity.
In the forest area of the Digital World with the sky now turning black, showing that it was getting late, with all humans in the Digital World having gone back to the real world, but in the forest area was different. Shadow was standing in a open area of the forest area with 5 AirDramon, 5 TankDramon and 5 DeviDramon standing in front of him, with the Control Spire behind the controlled Digimon. Even thought Shadow was alone, Shadow wasn't showing any real concern in his face, having faced more dangerous Digimon then these ones. "Why did I have to get the easy ones? I wish I got the hard ones''. Shadow said himself as he took a sigh at how things always seems very easy to him now. "Welcome to my world''. Grimdramon said to his partner from his Fusion Loader, chuckling at how Shadow was now suffering like him in the past few days now. "Daddy, I don't understand how uncle Shadow is in your world when you have no world''. GrimSalamon said to her father from Shadow's Fusion Loader, not understanding since she was just a few months old.
(Play run around music)
Shadow chuckled at what GrimSalamon said with a smile and eyes closed, before he held his Fusion Loader out in his right hand. "Reload! Grimdramon! Beelzemon! Justimon!''. Shadow called out with a smirk with his eyes closed as his Fusion activated with three lights coming out, before it revealed Grimdramon, a Justimon and Beelzemon from Mikey's world. "Let's do this! Darkness breath!''. Grimdramon called out as he took flight and fired a Darkness breath attack from his mouth, easily hitting the five Airdramon and destroying their Dark Rings easily. "For the future of this Digital World's peace. Justice Kick!''. Justimon called out as he jumped up into the air, before his leg was covered in energy as he kicked through the waves of the Tankmon, easily destroying the Dark Rings, but not doing any harm to the controlled Digimon. "You two are acting like this is a competition. Oblivion Cannon!''. Beelzemon called out as he held his cannon out and fired his attack, easily destroying the Dark Rings on them and giving the DeviDramon a little shocking wake up call. "You three just love to have a competition''. Shadow said to his three Digimon with a smile, before his eyes widen at he sensed something coming to him from behind.
(Music end)
Shadow's body was covered in energy to reveal Shadow in his Wing Knight uniform, quickly turning around brining out his sword from his shield and quickly cutting a blast that would have went through his stomach, with sliced and diced blast hitting the ground behind him, making an explosion happen behind with his cape being blown in the breeze. Shadow looked up to see a Coredramon Blue being the cause with a Dark Ring around his neck. "That wasn't very nice was it''. Shadow said to the controlled Digimon, before he charged at the controlled Digimon, before he disappeared and reappeared behind the CoreDramon blue with him slotting his sword back into his shield, with the Dark Ring around Coredramon's neck being shattered into pieces, making Shadow smirk as all the controlled Digimon walked away. "Beelzemon, if you would be so kind''. Shadow said to the warrior of light with a smile in his helmet, getting Beelzemon to smirk at his general. "I would be so kind to give the Digimon Emperor a present''. Beelzemon said to Shadow as he aimed his cannon at the Control Spire, before he fired, destroying the spire. "Good, now how many would that make''. Justimon said to the group as he crossed his arms.
"25 so far''. Grimdramon said to Justimon with a smile on his face, enjoying what they have been doing today so far, getting Justimon and Beelzemon to start to smile at making huge progress. However the sound of something landing got them to turn to see Ghoulmon Black, Tyrant Kabuterimon and Mephismon landing on the ground. "I'm latterly bored out of my mind, here''. Mephismon said to the group as he took a sigh, tired from all the easy battles. "Well, get used to it because it seems like there's no one worthy in this world to give us a challenge''. Tyrant Kabuterimon said to his comrade as he was bored as well. "We destroyed 30 Control Spires and freed 30 Digimon''. Ghoulmon black said to Shadow as he looked at Shadow, who nodded to him. "Great work you three, and sorry that you guys are bored. I gave you a warning that you'll be bored out of your minds''. Shadow said to Ghoulmon with a smile, glad to have had his Digimon stay with him. "We chose to stay by your side forever, Shadow. No matter how bored we get''. Everyone heard a voice, getting them to turn to see a Leopardmon, Black Rapidmon and aIndaramon.
"We made our choice to stay with you and lead you our aid and it's too late to take our choice back''. Black Rapidmon said to Shadow as he walked on the ground, with the other two Digimon nodding. "His right. We may be bored and the only real challenge we'll get is in training, but we'll do fine. Anyway, we destroyed 30 Control Spires and freed about 20 controlled Digimon''. Indaramon said to his general as he was smiling at Shadow, glad to stay with him. Shadow smiled at his Digimon with happiness, before he held up his Fusion Loader in his right hand. "Reset!''. Shadow called out to the group with a smile, as all the Digimon around Shadow turned into flashes and went into the Fusion Loader, making Shadow look at his Fusion Loader with a smile, before he started walking away with Grimdramon following after his partner, with both users of Darkness tired for the day and just wish to have a nap.

(Opening song End)
Shadow and Grimdramon were walking through the night sky, looking at the stars that were out with a smile on their faces, enjoying their time together. "Doesn't this just bring back memories''. Shadow said to Grimdramon with a smile, without looking at him. "Yeah. We always looked up at the night sky in every world we visited and always let our thoughts wonder off''. Grimdramon said to his partner with a smile, remembering all the times in the past and all the happy times Shadow and Grimdramon had. "I miss those times as well, but what can ya do. You can't travel back in time so there's nothing you can do''. Shadow said to his partner, missing the times in the past and how Shadow and Grimdramon would look at the night sky. However, Shadow suddenly got a massage on his D-terminal, getting the Darkness' users attention as Shadow brought out his D-terminal from his pocket and checked what email he got.
Dear Shadow.
I'm kinda stuck in an area, surrounded by Guardromon with Gatomon next to us. My Fusion Loader kind of gotten sent with the others when I accidently dropped it and now only me and Gatomon are here. I know this may seem a little too much to ask since you've done the most work for us, but mind helping me and Gatomon out.
Love Kari.
Shadow read the massage from Kari out loud for Grimdramon to hear as well and both their eyes were widen at hearing their loved ones in danger. "I guess one last Control Spire will do for the day. Now let's go get our girls''. Grimdramon said to his partner with narrowed eyes, which Shadow nodded to him with narrowed eyes as well as he quickly sent a message to Kari, before he held out his Fusion Loader, which changed into his D-tector. "We're doing this Digimon style''. Shadow said to Grimdramon with a smirk on his face.
(Digimon Frontier spirit evolution music)
First shows a bird-like face opening its beak, before it shows the D-Tector being held in Shadow's left hand at the far right side. Shadow then brought his right hand out at the far left side, than Shadow's hand is surrounded by several rings of Fractal Codes. Shadow then brought his right hand at the D-Tector, scanning the Digivice. "Execute!" Shadow shouted as he scanned the Fractal Codes, before he held his right hand out as the Fractal code starting to surround him. "Beast Spirit Evolution!" Shadow finished as the Beast Spirit of Darkness appeared and activated as he is surrounded by the Fractal Codes.
Shadow growled as the Fractal Codes form a bird like face on him. Then, wings started to form on his arms as well. Then, the legs are also formed into bird-like legs and feet. Soon all the parts began to form into a bird-like form on a blue screen box. They all came together to form into a Bird-like Digimon with three eyes on his face. The Bird Digimon then flew down towards a pedestal, until he landed on his feet, letting a out a screeching like sound, spreading his wings. "Velgamon!" The newly evolved Beast Spirit of Darkness said, ready to take flight.
(Music end)
Velgamon roared as he took to the air and flew to where he can sense Kari's light with Grimdramon following after the Best Spirit of Darkness. "She can't spirit evolve or DigivoleGatomon. All Kari can do is fight in her Angel armor form, still need a better name for those forms, but all well. I gotta get to them as soon as I can''. Velgamon thought to himself in concern for the girl he loves, knowing he must get there soon.
(With Kari)
Kari and Gatomon were hiding in the shadows of a building so that the Guardromonwoudn't find them and that they would stay safe. Kari then got a massage in her D-terminal, getting the girls to look as Kari read the message.
Dear Kari.
I got your massage and I'm on my way now. But you should seriously figure out a way to keep a better grip on your Fusion Loader. Anyway, we'll be there very soon and Kari, maybe you should use this chance to see how your skills are.
Love Shadow.
Both girls smiled at reading Shadow's massage and hearing that their boys are coming to get them, but what Shadow said about her skills got Kari's attention. Kari thought about it and she realizes that Shadow was right about that one. "Gatomon. Watch me back''. Kari said to her partner as she placed her D-terminal in her pocket, before white energy covered her body. The energy got a passing by Guardromon to notice the light. The Guardromon was about to alert the others, when something shot out to him and pierced the Dark Ring on him, destroying it. The light then disappeared to reveal Kari in her Angel armor outfit with her rapier in her right hand. Gatomon came out of her hiding spot and looked at her partner in awe at her new look, thinking Kari looked beautiful. "Let's go''. Kari said to her partner as she started walking with the wind blowing past her cape, with Gatomon walking with Kari, ready to fight by her side.
(With Velgamon)
Velgamon and Grimdramon have been flying for 2 minutes now with both Digimon going super fast to get to where they sensed the girls' light. Velgamon and Grimdramon were now in a desert area of the Digital World, with a Metal City in something like a snow globe and saw a controlled Guardromon standing at the front. "Dark Fortex!''. Velgamon called out as he fired a laser from his third eye, destroying the Dark Ring on the Guardromon, with Velgamon charging at the door, with the screen changing into the front of the Metal City, with the metal door being knocked down to the ground, with Shadow in his Knight outfit on it, in the position of a Super Hero landing. Shadow got up from the ground and started walking into the metal city, with Grimdramon flying next to him.
Shadow held out his Fusion Loader in his right hand. "Reload! Gokuwmon! MasterTyrannomon! Pandamon!''. Shadow called out as his Fusion Loader activated and three flashes came out to reveal a Gokuwmon, MasterTyrannomon and Pandamon. "Find Kari and make sure nothing happens to her''. Shadow said to his three Digimon as he placed his Fusion Loader in his pocket, which the three Digimon nodded to him, before all three of them took off in different directions, with Shadow and Grimdramon going in a different one then the other three Digimon. Gokumon was running down the street, before he saw an approaching army of Guardromon, making Gokuwmon smirk. "Secret Technique: Waking Shadow!''. Gokuwmon called out as afterimages of himself starting appearing around him, making the Guardromon confused, with Gokuwmon taking advantage as he used his staff to destroy all the Dark Rings on the Guardromon in a few seconds, before he continued his search.
With MasterTyrannomon was stumping across the place, before an army of Guardromon started to approach him. "Master Fire!''. MasterTyrannomon called out as he fired powerful flames from his mouth, burning all the Dark Rings on the Guardromon as he continued walking past to find his master's mate. With Pandamon, he was running very fast with his scarf being blown in the breeze, before he saw 30 Guardromon approaching him. "Firecracker!''. Pandamon called out as he threw firecrackers at the Guardromon, destroying the Dark Rings and freeing the Digimon, with Pandamon running past them. Back with Shadow and Grimdramon, they were tearing apart all the Guardromon that are trying to approach them, only to end up getting free of the Dark Rings. "This is stupid. How many are there''. Grimdramon asked with an irritated look on his face.
"Bring as many as they want, we'll keep tearing them apart''. Shadow said to his partner as he kept swinging his sword, destroying the Dark Rings, freeing the Digimon. "And we'll be there for you''. Kari's voice was heard, getting the Darkness users to turn to see Kari and Gatomon walking up to them with Kari still in her armor outfit, with Gatomon walking next to Kari. "Thank god you two are safe''. Shadow said in relief at seeing the two girls safe, getting Kari to smile as she pressed her body against Shadow, getting him to blush at Kari's actions. "Let's go home''. Kari said to her boyfriend with a smile, getting a nod Shadow as he wrapped his left hand around Kari's waist, with the two starting to walk to the exit with their partner Digimon following them, with Grimdramon and Gatomon next to them, with Shadow's other Digimon appearing next to the two, walking with them.
However, their path was blocked by a Andromon with a Dark Ring around his neck. "Well that's just great''. Grimdramon said in irritation as he, Gokuwmon, Pandamon and MasterTyrannomon got in front of everyone. "Is that Andromon''. Kari said to the group as she lowered her weapon. "It is, but he has a Dark Ring around his neck, meaning his controlled''. Shadow said to his girlfriend as he got his sword and shield ready. "Lightening Blade!". Andromon called out as his hand changed into its weapon mode and threw a lighting sword blast at them. Kari quickly got in front of everyone and used her shield in her left hand to bounce the attack away. "It looks like Andromon can't tell the difference between friend or foe, only obeying the Digimon Emperor's orders''. Gatomon said to the group as she got on all four, ready to pounce on Andromon if needed.
However, suddenly the Dark Ring around Andromon's neck glowed with purple electricity, making Andromon scream in pain with both his hands on his head. Digidestined and Digimon of Light and Darkness watched in worry, wondering about what was happening to him right. Shadow and Grimdramon then realize what was happening to Andromon, making them widen their eyes in shock. 'That Dark Ring... is it...' Both users of Darkness thought with narrow eyes at the controlled Andromon.
AndromonDigivolve to... HiAndromon!
Kari and Gatomon watched in shock about AndromonDigivolving through a Dark Ring, meaning things just got a whole lot dangerous for the group, with HiAndromon glaring at them with the dark ring still having purple electricity. "Andromon!" Kari cried in worry for her friend as she took a step forward, before Shadow pulled her back to safety. "No Kari! His no longer Andromon anymore, but a HiAndromon!" Shadow said to his girlfriend in worry, with everyone now facing a controlled Mega Level Digimon.
(Digimon Analyzer)
"HiAndromon is a Mega Cyborg Virus type Digimon! His special attack is the Atomic Ray, which will blow away his opponents!''. Shadow said to the group, telling them what he knows of the Mega Digimon.
(Digimon Analyzer done)
Kari looked at her friend in worry as her shield and rapier disappeared as she moved her hands to her helmet and took it off, showing her concerned face. "Andromon. It's me, Kari''. Kari called out to her friend, who said nothing and continued to stare at them, making Kari worry for the Digimon more, then something hit HiAndromon, making him skid back a little, making Shadow, Kari, Grimdramon,Gatomon and Shadow's other Digimon turn to see Tai, and the other Digidestined arrived. "I'm glad we're not too late!" Halsemon said to the group as Yolei is riding on him. Just then, Digmon came out of the ground nearby, also here to help. "Hi, guys! I thought sense I was here, I built this city a subway system!" Digmon stated to the group, laughing at his own joke, before he saw HiAndromon. "Hold still, you pile of scrap metal! Gold rush!" Digmon called out as he sends his drills at HiAndromon, only for the drills to bounce of the armor. "Hey, that comment about scrap metal was just a joke!" Digmon muttered to himself, eyes blank with sweat coming down his head at seeing his attack to nothing.
"Kari, are you okay?" Tai asked his sister as he and the others arrived to Kari, while surprised at what Kari was wearing, while handing her Fusion Loader to her, which Kari took with BellStarmon, Darcmon and a QueenChessmon coming out. "Yeah, but Tai, its Andromon!" Kari told her brother, getting Tai to look at HiAndromon with a look of surprise, getting Kari's Digimon to stand down since they think Andromon is a friend. "That's Andromon? He doesn't look like him at all!" Tai stated in shock at his sister thinking this Digimon was Andromon. "That's because that Dark Ring made him Digivolve into HiAndromon!" Shadow exclaimed to Tai at the situation, with Tai now understanding the situation, before he then looked at HiAndromon. "Andromon, slow down, it's me, Tai." Tai said to the Android Digimon, as HiAndromon analyzed him. "Tai who?" HiAndromon asked as he continued to analyze Tai until he target him, now getting a image next to his analysis, with the screen saying same human. "Oh Tai." HiAndromon stated in realization, before the Dark Ring starting to short out more, making him scream in pain. This cause HiAndromontp go out of control, his arms moving in circle as he headed for Tai and Kari.
"Kari! Look out!" Tai yelled as he moved away, with him and Shadow moving away as HiAndromon neared her now. HiAndromon and Kari just stared, before HiAndromon picked her up to the air, making everyone panic at the situation. "Hey you put her down, now!" Gatomon warned the Android Digimon to put her partner down with BelleStarmon, Darcmon and QueenChessmon preparing to attack. "She's right! Put her down!" Shadow demanded the Digimon, not liking his girlfriend being held like that with his Digimon preparing to attack as well. HiAndromon continued to stare at his captive, with Kari still looking at him in worry. "You remember me?" Kari asked the machine Digimon, hoping the Android Digimon would remember. "I am... trying." HiAndromon replied as he analyzed Kari, before seeing an image and words saying same human. "Yes." HiAndromon said to Kari, starting to remember. "We all took a picture together." Kari said to HiAndromon, starting to cry, as a single tear fell down on HiAndromon's helmet.
Suddenly, HiAndromon got a fuzzy image, before revealing the pictured that was taken by the group. "A picture?" HiAndromon asked as Kari's Fusion dropped on HiAndromon, causing a pink light to glow, then fall to the ground, covering HiAndromon and Kari. "Faces... long ago... Digidestined... I love jigsaw puzzles." HiAndromon said as he remembers the pictured forming a jigsaw puzzle. Shadow and Grimdramon to sweat drop at HiAndromon's comment about jigsaw puzzles. "Now I see the complete picture." HiAndromon said as his visor/eyes no longer glow red, now back to his senses. HiAndromon then dropped Kari, making Shadow catch her bridal style, making her blush, but smile. "Kari... I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused." HiAndromon apologize to Kari, before he then went to his neck, ripping the Dark Ring off of him for good.
"Andromon!" Kari said happily; glad to have her friend back. "Actually, it's HiAndromon now." HiAndromon corrected Kari with a smile, before he then turned towards the Control Spire in the city. "That Control Spire is responsible for all of this... Well no more... Atomic Ray!" HiAndromon shouted as he fired a beam gathered from his shoulders to his hands at the Control Spire, destroying it for good. This also cause all the Dark Rings in the Metal City to stop working as well and getting everyone to cheer, with Kari getting back on her feet, before she put her helmet back on, with Shadow and Kari's Digimon going back into the Fusion Loaders.
After the Control Spire was destroyed, the group followedHiAndromon around Metal City, with him explaining about the Guardromon being reprogrammed by the Digimon Emperor. HiAndromon approached one Guardromon, destroying the Dark Ring, and put wire tubes inside the Guardromon to fix him. HiAndromon also says that he will protect the Guardromon and Metal City, in case the Digimon Emperor returns. "I feel fresh as a daisy." The now free Guardromon said as he raised his arms in the air, causing everyone to sweatdrop about the free Guardromon's group is now outside the dome Metal City, ready to go home. "Well, now it's time to go home." Shadow said as the group left the Digital World and returned to the real world, seeing Izzy. They all left school with Izzy being a little angry, but he let go of it easily with everyone going home.
Shadow, Kari and Tai made it back to the house, just in time for dinner. They all enjoyed their dinner and soon went to bed with Grimdramon and Gatomon in the Fusion Loaders. "Thanks Shadow for saving me''. Kari said to her boyfriend with a smile as they lied down on the bed, facing each other with their checks red. "Anything for my beautiful angel''. Shadow said to Kari with a smile, getting Kari to blush even more before she kissed Shadow, with Shadow returning the kiss, before they started adding toungs in the kiss, with Kari getting on top of Shadow, making it into a make out session. Soon Kari and Shadow feel asleep in each other's arms, happy to be in love with each other and dreaming of their future together.
(The Next day)
A day after the Full Metal City where Shadow and Grimdramon saved Kari and Gatomon, Kari is at her locker at school, going through her stuff, while wearing her new normal outfit. This morning was a good one, waking up in Shadow's arms and soon they got ready for school, with them having a good dinner with each other with the family, before they set off and had another good day at school. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, Jaden has arrived, being his selfish self as usual. "Hey Kari." Jaden greeted with a force angry smile, getting Kari to look at him. "Jaden, what do you want?" Kari asked with narrowed eyes at how he tried to force kiss her. "Nothing, just want you to come with me is all." Jaden stated to Kari as he tried to get close, still hitting on Kari. "I refuse." Kari rejected Jaden, already having Shadow as a boyfriend. This got Red very mad, having a nasty look on his face.
"That wasn't a request." Jaden said to Kari in rage, before he then decided to use force. Before Kari knew it, Jaden already had his arms trapped around her and pressing her against him, with her looking at his face. "Not let's just kiss and make up." Jaden said to Kari, as he leaned forward to kiss Kari, with her struggling to get out. Before Jaden could kiss Kari, he was suddenly punched in the face, letting Kari go in the process. The person the punched him is Shadow, who arrived in time, along with catching Kari gently by her arms. "Shadow." Kari said in relief to her boyfriend. Jaden held his face again, then looked at his attacker. "You again?!" Jaden cried in rage, looking at Shadow for stealing 'his girl' again. Shadow then let Kari go, then face Red.
"Didn't I already teach you the last time?" Shadow asked Jaden with his arms crossed, wondering if Jaden will ever learn. "I'll teach you a lesson!" Jaden exclaimed to Shadow, and then threw a punch at Shadow, who dodged it easily. This process repeats again and again, with Shadow dodging and Jaden getting tired. Soon, Jaden was breathing heavily, feeling exhausted from his punch. "Are you done?" Shadow asked again if Jaden was done being a fool. "No... But I bet your mother was very ugly and stupid to raise someone like you." Jaden insulted with a smirk on his face, not knowing his mistake. This got a reaction from Shadow, who showed a face of anger and hate at the arrogant boy insult with his body being covered in a dark aura, scaring Jaden. Before Jaden knew it, Shadow is pummeling and hitting him everywhere and leaving nowhere undamaged. As soon as Shadow was done, Jaden looks unrecognizable from his state, with lots of bruises and bumps on his body.
"I can't believe he said that." Shadow said in anger, forming fists and looking at the beat up boy in anger. Shadow then felt someone touch his shoulder, getting him to look to see Kari, who had a worried look on her face. "Shadow... he didn't know." Kari stated to her boyfriend, even though she understands her boyfriend's anger. "Your right... it's just... I don't have any parents growing up, and my adopted mother was kind and that just really got me." Shadow stated to Kari as he looked away, thinking of his adulated mother that adopted him in the Tamers world. "It's okay Shadow... let's just go now." Kari suggested to Shadow for them to leave now. "Alright, but I just have one more thing to do." Shadow replied to Kari, and then looked at the knocked out Red. Soon, Red is stuffed into a locker, with Kari and Shadow walking away from Red.
Soon after a few minutes of walking, with Kari watching in concern for Shadow, Kari decided to try to calm him down. "Shadow. Jaden doesn't know what you went through. Don't let his words get to you''. Kari said to her boyfriend, hoping for him to calm down. Shadow looked over his shoulder to look at Kari and saw the worried look on her face, causing him to lose his anger, with him taking deep breaths. "I know Kari…but what he said about my mother made me think of my adopted mother, making me lose control at someone talking that way about her''. Shadow said to his girlfriend with a sad look, sadness filling him as he thought of his adopted family, missing them very much. Kari still looked at her boyfriend with a concern look, understanding what his feeling, before she walked in front of Shadow and kissed him on the lips with her hands on his checks.
Shadow's checks turned bright red at Kari's actions, before he got into the kiss and kissed Kari back with his hands on her hips. Soon Shadow and Kari added their toungs to the kissing, with Shadow's hands wrapping around Kari's legs and pulled them off the ground and over his waist, with Kari's hands going over Shadow's shoulders and onto his back, with the two focusing on their kiss. Soon air became a problem, making Shadow and Kari separate with a little saliva coming out of their lips, with both Digidestined's checks a little red. "No matter what happens, I'll always stay by your side and love you forever''. Kari said to her boyfriend with her voice full of love and eyes full of love as well.
"I know, Kari. I love you as well''. Shadow said to his girlfriend with love in his voice and eyes, before he and Kari shared another kiss, which the two enjoyed. Soon Shadow and Kari pulled away with Shadow putting Kari back on the ground, with the two going outside to watch Davis train with his team at soccer. Soon they were outside with everyone else, watching Davis train with his team, with Shadow being impressed with the team's skills.
However, suddenly a team member accidently kicked the ball the wrong way, with the ball now heading towards Shadow. "Shadow! Look out!''. Davis called out to his team member, who just watched the ball with narrowed eyes. Shadow then jumped up a little, before he spin really fast and kicked the ball with his left leg, sending the ball straight past the field at high speed, before it went into the goal, making it a goal for Shadow. Everyone stared at Shadow in amazement, who landed on the ground and adjusted his scarf back to normal, missing Tai and Davis's couch's looks of interest in him, with Kari wrapping her arms around Shadow's left arm, glad that Shadow was unharmed.
However, a teammate's leg was twisted and was sent to the ground, holding his leg in pain, getting all the soccer players to gather around him in concern. The Couch looked at the soccer player's leg, seeing it was in bad condition and that he can't practice anymore. "We're gonna need a replacement to take over for him. Do you guys have anyone in mind''. The soccer Couch said to the team of soccer players, getting them to think of someone, till Davis came up something. "How about Shadow gives us a hand''. Davis said to the group, getting everyone's attention. Davis's couch nodded to Davis, before he gave Shadow a hand sign to come over, which Shadow did and helped out with the rest of the training, helping out a lot and being a very good soccer player. Shadow was even a good sport, saying 'good work', helping teammates with some problems and even inspired some to do better.
Soon everyone was in the computer room, doing research on Ken because tomorrow Ken's team is up against Davis's team. Ken was actually a genius to everyone, being very smart, good at soccer and sports and his even a ladies man. "Wonder how Ken became so good at everything''. Shadow said in wonder at how Ken became a genius, his arms crossed and DemiGrimdramon on his head. "Ken might actually be as good at everything as you, Shadow''. Tai said to the Darkness user, thinking that Ken might be as good as Shadow at everything. "I wouldn't be so sure, Tai. You haven't even seen Shadow actually try yet''. Kari said to her older brother with GrimSalamon in her arms, knowing that Shadow can easily beat Ken.
"Shadow, can I ask you something''. Yolei said to the Darkness user, getting Shadow's attention. "What is it, Yolei''. Shadow asked his teammate with a smile, until Yolei held his right hand with both her hands, surprising Shadow at Yolei's actions. "When you see Ken, could you get me his autograph''. Yolei asked the Darkness user with a smile, mind in a daze at the thought of the boy genius. Shadow's checks were red at Yolei holding his hand, having a weakness at girls making contact with him. However, suddenly everyone sensed a fiery aura of rage, getting them to slowly and shakenly turn to see Kari having an aura of fire around her, showing deep disgust at Yolei making a move on her man. "Yolei! If you know what's good for you, you'll let Shadow go now!''. Kari said to the older girl with rage, getting Yolei to turn and yep in surprise at Kari as she let go of Shadow's hand. Soon everyone left the school to head home to rest and get ready for tomorrow.
(The next day)
On the next Day, All the Digidestined 02, including Shadow, were going to watch a soccer match of Davis playing on field. Shadow was currently seating next to Kari, who was holding GrimSalamon in her hands, while Gatomon was in her Fusion Loader, with Shadow having DemiVeemon and DemiGrimdramon on his shoulders. That's not all that's happening right now in the soccer field: all the girls that were around, are eyeing Shadow with heart-shape eyes, gushing about how handsome and cute he was to them. This made Shadow very uncomfortable, while Kari giving off her fiery aura around her, glaring at all the fan girls. This made the group, except Shadow, feel nervous at the atmosphere. "Why did I come to this match?" Shadow asked himself in worry at all his fan girls watching him. "We all agree we watch Davis's match, but those girls better back off." Kari stated to her boyfriend, still having her aura on her and glaring at the girls.
Just then, the green team arrived, but Ken wasn't with them, confusing everyone. "Where is Ken?''. Shadow thought to himself in wonder at where the boy genius is. Tai went down to talk to Davis for a bit, before the match began with Davis and his team doing well. "Davis is doing pretty well." Shadow thought to himself as he watched the game carefully, amazed at Davis's skills in soccer. Soon both teams took a break after Davis's team scored a goal. Shadow and the others went down to Davis to speak to him. "It's rewinding. There you go. You look good on Camera''. Kari said as she showed pictures of Davis on her camera, with everyone around her, while GrimSalamon was on her head. "Thanks Kari. I kicked butt out there''. Davis said as he felt proud of himself of his skills, before he looked at Shadow. "What do you think Shadow''. Davis said to the Darkness user, thinking that Shadow will say that his better then him. "You were great out there''. Shadow said to Davis with a genital smile, standing up, shocking Davis at his answer. "You guys still only lead by one point, and Ken could still show up''. Tai reminded Davis that his team only has one point ahead and that Ken could still arrive.
"Oh please. Even if he shows up, what can he- ''. Davis tried to say to Tai, only for a shout of "ITS HIM!'' getting everyone's attention as they looked up to see Ken arriving in his Soccer outfit, with many girls looking at him heart shaped eyes. "Me and my big mouth''. Davis said to himself as he just jinxed himself. "It's really him isn't it''. Yolei said in delight as she titan her grip on Poramon in her hands, going fan girl over Ken. Ken started walking down to him team, only to stop and look at the Digidestineds, with Shadow narrowing his eyes at Ken's glare.
"Oh, his looking this way. I think I'm gonna faint''. Yolei said in delight at Ken looking at her friends and her, crushing Poramon even more. "For someone popular, he knows how to keep his cool''. Tai said as he notices Ken stop looking at him and continue to his team. "Hey, I'm cool''. Davis said to his leader, thinking his cooler then Ken. "Whatever you say Davis''. Shadow said to his new leader as he and Kari went back to the seats, with the others going back to their seats to continue watching the game.
Soon, the match begins again, with Ken playing and going ahead, getting three goals straight, impressing the crowd, while the Digidestined watch in worry for Davis. Speaking of Davis, Davis right now was trying to keep up with Ken, until he accidentally trip, holding his left leg in the process, which starting bleeding, getting the Digidestined worried. "Motimiya, are you alright?" The coach asked Davis as the game was put on hold. "No, my leg is hurt at the moment, and I don't think I'll be unable to play like this." Davis replied to his coach about his condition, clutching his injured leg. "Then we might just have to forfeit since you were out best player." The coach stated about losing the match since Davis was out of action since his hurt.
"No... send Shadow in my place." Davis said to his couch as he sat on the grass out of the field, putting his faith in Shadow. "Are you sure?" The coach asked his ace player, with Davis nodding his head. The coach nodded to Davis, before he then looked at Shadow, getting Shadow confused at first. "Shadow! You're going to play in Davis's place!" The coach called out to Shadow, getting the group to widen their eyes in surprise, with Shadow sighed to himself. "Why me?" Shadow muttered to himself as he stood up and took his scarf off, before he gave it to Kari, who held it close. Shadow then walked down the stars to the couch, who gave him a Red Scarf since he didn't have another outfit. "We're counting on you''. The couch said to Shadow, with Shadow nodding to him, before he walked into the field, taking the Davis's team side of the field, with Ken in front of him a few feet away with the ball in the middle of the field.
"Begin!" The referee shouted as a whistle is blown, starting the match. However, before anyone could move, Shadow moved quicker then lighting as he took the ball, speeding past Ken's teammates like he was appearing in front of them, before he disappeared. When Shadow made it past the last member of Ken's team, he kicked the ball hard, sending it straight to the Goal, scoring a goal for the team. "I DON'T BELIVE IT! THIS NEW PLAYER HAS SCORED A GOAL!''. The Announcer of the game shouted out in shock at what he saw, along with surprising everyone, including Ken, about how fast Shadow was out in the field, while Shadow walked back to his side of the field, with his teammates watching him in awe, with Shadow giving them a look. "I'll need you guys to help me with this match, so don't give up''. Shadow said to his temporary teammates, getting them all to nod at him. Soon Shadow got cheers from the Digidestined, especially Kari, for getting a point for the home team.
"Way to go, Shadow!''. Kari shouted out to her boyfriend in joy at him scoring a goal, with GrimSalamon and DemiGrimdramon cheering for Shadow. "That was amazing Shadow!''. T.K shouted out to his friend with a smile at how Shadow just turn the tables. "Keep playing like that and you can win!''. Cody shouted out to his friend that he could win the game. "Remember to get me an Autograph from Ken!''. Yolei shouted out to her friend, reminding him of the Autograph. "You rock at this Shadow!''. Davis shouted out to his team mate with a smile. "Just don't get cocky okay, Shadow!''. Tai shouted out to his friend to not get cocky. Even the fan girls of Shadow were cheering, falling even more heads over heels for the boy they admire and like very much.
Even Ken was a bit impress about Shadow making that good move as well. 'His good.' Ken thought to himself in shock, finding Shadow a worthy opponent to face at the moment. The match then soon begins again, this time Shadow and his teammates passing the ball to each other, but Ken manage to take the ball from a team member, kicking all the way to the opposite goal. Ken then kicked the ball into the goal, scoring a point to his team as well. 'His as good as his info said about being good at soccer.' Shadow thought to himself with narrowed eyes, also impress about Ken's skills at soccer being true.
Soon, the game begins again, with Shadow and his team passing the ball for Shadow to score, along with Ken and his team doing the same when they got to score as well. First Shadow would get 3 goals, then Ken would get 2 goals. The match was neck and neck, with everyone watching in anticipation as the soccer match got intense, with the scores tied up all the way to 9.
Both Shadow and Ken, along with their teammates were catching their breathes, putting every skills and tactics they have in this match, neither side not giving up, but Shadow was holding back, knowing he could have easily won with easy, but decided to hold back. Just as the teams were about to continue again, a whistle was heard, meaning the match is now over. "It's over! The match is a tie!" The referee stated out, meaning both teams didn't win or lose in this match. Everyone in the stands cheered for the two teams, especially Shadow and Ken, for the exciting match shown.
Soon, all the players congratulated each other for a good game, with Shadow and Ken being last. "Nice match. You were really good." Shadow commented to the boy genius with his right hand on his right hip. "Thanks. You were also a good player to face as well." Ken replied with a smile, with both of them shaking hands as well. Soon Shadow walked away from Ken, before he walked up in front of Kari, who smiled at him, before she gave her boyfriend back his scarf, which Shadow put up straight away. Kari then grabbed Shadow's right hand with both her hands, and started dragging him away from the soccer field, confusion Shadow.
Soon after they were a good distance away from the field, Kari gave Shadow a deep kiss on the lips with her hands on his face and eyes closed in bliss, making Shadow widen his eyes at his girlfriend's actions, before he closed his eyes and kissed Kari back. Shadow wrapped his hands around Kari's waist, while Kari wrapped her arms around his neck, with both Digidestined adding tongues in the kiss.
Shadow then moved his hands from Kari's waist to her hips, before he picked up Kari from the ground and pushed her against a Tree with Shadow's hands now holding Kari's hips. Kari wrapped her legs around her boyfriend as she moved her hands over Shadow's shoulders and continue kissing the boy she loves, with Shadow doing the same. Soon after a few minutes of kiss, Shadow pulled away from Kari with a little of saliva coming out of his and Kari's mouths as they both stared at each other with love in their eyes and a smile on their faces.
"I love you, Kari''. Shadow whispered to the girl that he loves with his checks red, making Kari's checks turn red as well. "I love you to, Shadow''. Kari whispered to the boy she loves. Both Digidestined then went back to their friends as they all walked home together with Shadow and Kari holding hands, with DemiGrimdramon on Shadow's shoulder and GrimSalamon on Kari's head. "That was awesome, Shadow''. Tai said to the Darkness user in amazement at Shadow's skills. "Yeah! You rock at soccer and should play more often''. Davis said to the Darkness user in amazement at how he turned the match around. "But Shadow didn't get me Ken's autograph''. Yolei said in sadness as she pinched Poramon, who was helpless to stop his partner, getting Shadow to sweet drop. "Sorry, Yolei''. Shadow said to his teammate with a sweet drop and nervous smile. "In celebration for Shadow doing well in soccer, we're going to the carnival tomorrow to have fun''. Tai said to the group, getting cheers from everyone. Soon the group all went separate ways, heading home to rest.
(The next day)
A Control Spire fell to the ground as many Digimon free of Dark Rings left the area, having been freed from the Digimon Emperor, with Shadow, Beelzemon and Umbradramon standing a few feet away as they watched the Control spire fell, with GrimSalamon hanging on Shadow's hair. Yesterday after turned out to be great for Shadow, after he, Tai and Kari returned back to the house, Mrs. Kamiya and Mr. Kamiya were waiting for them, having seen on the news about Shadow getting a tie with Ken on soccer. Both adults were proud of Shadow, making him a little embarrassed. Kari and Mrs. Kamiya took Shadow out of the house to go to the shops for him, while Tai and Mr. Kamiya started setting up the spare room for Shadow.
Kari and Mrs. Kamiya took Shadow shopping for clothes that he liked, which were all black, got him some books and TV shows for him, which ended up being scary books and scary cartoon shows as well. Soon when they were walking down a hall, Shadow saw a quiz competition taking place with a brand new laptop as the prize, getting Shadow to ask to enter, which Mrs. Kamiya allowed him. Shadow dominated the competition, easily getting all the questions right and won the laptop.
Kari and Mrs. Kamiya congratulated Shadow for his win, with many photographers taking pictures of him, with a news reporter people coming in as well, asking Shadow questions and got him on TV, making Shadow a little embarrassed and nervous at the attention, but kept calm during the event and make a good impression on TV. Soon Shadow, Kari and Mrs. Kamiya went home for the day, with Tai and Mr. Kamiya welcoming them back with a smile. Tai and Mr. Kamiya then showed Shadow his new room, which Shadow liked straight away when it saw that it was very dark, much to his liking. Shadow thanked the family for what they have done for him and planned to repay them somehow.
The family soon had dinner together with Kari and Mrs. Kamiya telling Tai and Mr. Kamiya about Shadow's success in the quiz competition, impressing the two males as they congratulate Shadow, making him a little embarrassed. Soon they all went to bed, with Kari sleeping in Shadow's room with him tonight. The next day, the family had a peaceful breakfast together, before Tai, Shadow and Kari left for school. They all had a nice day, with Shadow being the top student as usual and helped a few students around the school, inspiring more student as they all wanted to be like him.
Soon school ended with Shadow finishing the last class before anyone else and went to the computer room to head for the Digital World. And now here he was, standing in a field with Beelzemon, GrimSalamon and Umbradramon, having destroyed a number of Control Spires for the day."Good work Beelzemon. You should take a break''. Shadow said as he held up his Fusion Loader in his right hand, getting a nod from Beelzemon as he turned into a flash that went into the Fusion Loader. However, suddenly Shadow sensed something in the darkness, making him narrow his eyes as hi eyes glowed, before a portal of Darkness appeared in front of him with Yolei, T.K, Cody, Kari, Gatomon, Hawkmon, Armadillomon and Patamon coming out and into the sky.
Shadow looked up as the Digidestined start falling to the ground, before the purple part of his hair and eyes changed to light green as the wind stopped their fall, making the Digidestined and their Digimon look in surprise as they landed on the ground safely. "If you wanted a tour of the Darkness, you should have gotten a ticket instead of just jumping in there''. Shadow said to the team as he crossed his arms with a smile, smiling at everyone and that they were safe, getting everyone to look to see him and Umbradramon. "Shadow! Umbradramon!''. Everyone called out in relief at seeing the Darkness users as GrimSalamon jumped into her mother's arms, who held her daughter happily.
"What are you guys doing here''. T.K said to his two friends, even though he wished he told Kari his feelings before he returned first. "Oh we're just taking a stroll in the woods, looking up at the stars and probably go get ice cream''. Umbradramon said to the team with a smirk, making the girls and chuckle and boys to laugh. "Anyway, what were you guys doing here, and where's Davis''. Shadow asked the team on what they were doing here and without Davis. "We were heading to an area close by to destroy a Control Spire in the area, but the ground swallowed us whole and separated us from Davis and Veemon''. Kari said to her boyfriend, telling him what happened to them and to Davis, making Shadow widen his eyes. "Crap! A trap!''. Shadow said to himself as he granted his teeth, making everyone widen their eyes at what they heard. "Wait, what do ya mean a trap''. Cody asked the Darkness child on why he thinks Davis has been caught in a trap.
"The Digimon Emperor must be trying to take us out one by one''. Shadow said to the child, knowing that the Digimon Emperor is now trying to take the Digimon Emperor one by one, making everyone widen their eyes. "Oh no. If what Shadow says is true, then Davis and Veemon are in trouble''. Patamon said with widen eyes at what Shadow said. "We have to help them''. Hawkmon said to the team, thinking that nothing should happen to even one member of the team. "Let's Digivole and get to work''. Armaddilomon said to the team as all the Digimon looked at their partners and nodded at them. "Digi-armor Energize!''. T.K, Yolei, Cody and Kari called out as their D3 and Fusion Loader activated, with energy covering their partners.
"Patamon armor Digivole to…Pegasusmon, flying hope! / Hawkmon Armor Digivole to…Halsemon, the wings of love! / Armadillomon Armor Digivole to…Digimon, the Drill of Power! / Gatomon Armor Digivole to…Nefertimon, the Angel of Light!''. All the evolved Digimon called out their names as they all appeared, on the ground. "Let's move! We don't have much time!''. Shadow said to the team as he turned into Dragon Level 1 without the horns, before they took flight into the sky with Digimon digging underground, while the Digidestined got on their partners and ride on them. Soon after a few seconds, they landed in the area that Kari told Shadow where Davis was. Shadow then landed on the ground, before he took off with the others landing on the ground with their partners taking off to battle.
The Digidestined took off after Shadow, only to see him stop by a mountain, looking over the open. The Digidestined stopped next to Shadow, confused at what he was doing. "Shadow. Why are you just standing there''. Yolei asked the Darkness user on why he isn't going out to the open, which Shadow replied by holding his right hand out, with Darkness appearing over his hand as a screen that showed Davis, Veemon, the Digimon Emperor and copies of the Digidestined and their Digimon, except Shadow and Grimdramon were not there. "What the heck! Copies of us''. T.K said in surprise and widen eyes at seeing copies of the team except Shadow, Davis, Grimdramon and Veemon, with GrimSalamon flying close by, flying next to Kari.
"What you're seeing is what I see and what you hear is what I hear. Just think of it as a short movie''. Shadow said to the team as he kept his eyes on what would happen, getting everyone to look at him. "Why are you doing this Shadow? Why aren't we going out there to help Davis''. Cody asked the child of Darkness on why they weren't going out there to help Davis. "I want to see what Davis will. I'm gonna be honest, I want to know why Tai chose him as the leader of the Digidestined''. Shadow said to the team without looking at them, wanting to pay close attention. The others eyes widen at what Shadow said and understood. "I was wondering the same thing. I mean Davis is just a new guy, I have more experience then so I thought Tai was gonna chose me''. T.K said to the child of Darkness, having wanted to be leader instead of Davis being the leader.
Shadow's eyes looked over the Connor of his eyes at what T.K said. "You are not leader material, T.K. You're willing to fight, but when there's not so much responsibility is on you. You can't think of a situation that's best for the team. You'd take no risk, fearing that it would put the team in danger, but sometimes you have to take the risk, no matter how dangerous it is. You are not a leader''. Shadow said to his old friend with narrowed eyes, getting everyone to widen their eyes at what Shadow said. T.K's eyes had rage in them and was about to snap at Shadow, when Shadow spoke. "Would you really be able to handle it? Leading a team that will count on you, look at you like you'd be their hope to victory. Can you accept the responsibilities of being leader of a team that can't fail at even one thing and protect the team with your life''. Shadow said to T.K with his eyes narrowed and an aura of Darkness around himself, getting the team to take a step back.
T.K was about to shout at Shadow that he can, but stopped himself as he thought about what Shadow said. His eyes then widen in realization as he figured out that Shadow was telling the truth as he couldn't handle what Davis or what Tai is handling. Everyone watched as Deltamon appeared from the mountain and the Digimon Emperor threaten to have the copies eaten, getting Davis to put his pride away as he bowed on the ground, with Veemon putting his foot on his head after Davis said it was okay when the Digimon Emperor ordered him two. The team's eyes widen at what Davis was doing, with Shadow having slightly widen eyes. "Davis is…doing what the Digimon Emperor wants to keep us safe''. Kari said in amazement at her childhood friend's actions, having never thought Davis would do that. "It shows that Davis really is a kind person, caring about all of us''. Cody said in awe and widen eyes at seeing Davis put his pride away to keep them all safe.
Shadow continued to watch as the Digimon Emperor offered to spear one pair, getting Davis to struggle on what he should do. The others continued to watch with widen eyes as Davis continued to struggle at what he should do next before he offered himself, shocking everyone, with Shadow now understanding. "Davis is willing to put his pride away to protect his friends, never give up and continue to fight, takes risks, willing to give himself up for the team. Davis is like Tai and Matt mixed into one person, only having more of Tai's thick thinking''. Shadow said to the team with a chuckle, laughing at how he didn't notice it sooner. "I approve of Tai's choice to make Davis the leader''. Shadow said with a smile on his face, before he jumped out of his hiding spot and shot to Davis's side, blasting the Deltamon in the face, sending it to the ground, making everyone widen their eyes at what happened. Soon Digmon came out of the ground. "Aw, now my surprise is ruined''. Digmon said to everyone, disappointed as he couldn't do his surprise. Then the other Digimon came out of hiding, with Shadow looking over his shoulder to look at Davis, who was still kneeling on the ground with the copies revealing to be Bakumon.
"Davis''. Shadow said seriously to the leader, getting Davis to look at Shadow. "You have shown that you care for the team, willingly to put your pride away to keep everyone safe, showed that you're willing to take risks and never give up. Tai made the right choice in making you the leader and now have my support''. Shadow said to the new leader of the Digidestined, making Davis widen his eyes, having never seen a person like Shadow. "I know that we didn't get a good start, but I'm fine with giving us a new start as friends, what do you say''. Shadow said to his fellow goggle comrade as he held his left hand out for Davis to take, who slowly lifted his left hand to take Shadow's. "I…accept Shadow''. Davis said to the Darkness user with a smile as he sped hands with Shadow, making Shadow smile as he pulled Davis off the ground and onto his feet, getting Kari and Cody to smile as they walked over to them, while Yolei and T.K kept back.
"Now, knowing you, you'll probably go after the Digimon Emperor to get some payback''. Shadow said with a small smile and eyes full of happiness and fun, knowing that Davis won't take this lying down. "You got that right! Digi-Armor Energize!''. Davis called out as his D3 activated and energy surrounded Veemon.
Veemon Armor Digivole to…FlameDramon, the Fire of courage!
"Go get them FlameDramon and I'll get the Emperor''. Davis said to his partner as he took off to take care of the Digimon Emperor, while FlameDramon went to help the other Digimon with the Bakumon, getting a chuckle from Shadow. "Davis's a really kind and crazy person isn't he, Kari''. Shadow said to his girlfriend without looking at her as his arms were crossed with GrimSalamon landing on his head, with Kari walking next to Shadow. "Yeah. That's one of the many reasons on how I was able to handle without you till we met again in that world where we met Takuya, Zoe and Kouichi''. Kari said to her boyfriend with a smile, before it changed into a sad look, with Shadow gaining a sad look. "Takuya. Zoe. Kouchi. Rika''. Shadow said in sadness from remembering his friends, along with his adopted sister's name.
Up in the battle, Umbradramon knocked two Bakumon into each other, destroying the Dark Rings, while Nefertimon hit two Bakumon with her Rosseta stone, freeing them. "Do you think we'll see them again? Along with Mikey, Nene, Christopher and Ewan''. Kari asked her boyfriend if he thinks they'll see their friends from the other worlds, wanting to be with them again. "I don't know Kari, if destiny wants the other worlds to never make contact again, I'll shatter that destiny''. Shadow said in determination as he raised his right fist, planning to make his own destiny, making Kari look at him as Davis and the Digimon Emperor landing on the ground from the hill.
Umbradramon freed another Bakumon from the Dark Ring, with GrimSalamon jumping on a controlled Bakumon's head, making the Bakumon try to shake her off, but she hanged on, with Nefertimon head butting the Bakumon, sending it away with the Dark Ring destroyed. GrimSalamon landed on her mother's back and smiled happily. "Was I brave out there, mummy''. GrimSalamon asked her mother if she thought she was brave, making Nefertimon smile. "You were brave my little one. I'm proud of you for doing that''. Nefertimon said to her daughter with a smile, proud of her for making a Bakumon lose focus on the battle and let Nefertimon free him, making GrimSalamon jump in joy.
Shadow watched as Deltamon prepared his best attack to destroy Davis, with the Digimon Emperor having given the order. "The Digidestined's destiny was chosen for them, by someone else and not themselves. I refuse to let someone else chose my destiny, because I'm the one that controls my life, not someone else. That is my I will make my own DESTINY!''. Shadow called out as he jumped high into the sky above Deltamon, getting the controlled Digimon to look at him, with Shadow brining out his Fusion Loader in his left hand, before his Fusion Loader changed into his D-tector form.
(Digimon Frontier Spirits Evolution music)
First shows the Spirit of Darkness being formed, before revealed on the D-Tector screen, with Shadow holding it in his left hand at the far right. Shadow brought his right hand out to the far left, before a single ring of Fractal Code surrounded his hand. Shadow then brought his right hand towards the D-Tector, scanning the Fractal Code. "Execute!" Shadow shouted as he finished scanning the code, before holding out his right hand as the Fractal Code starting to surround him. "Spirit Evolution!" Shadow finished as the Spirit of Darkness activated appeared behind him as he is surrounded by the Fractal Code.
Then shows Shadow face showing a helmet forming first on the Fractal Code. Then shows the arms being covered by armour gauntlets as well, along with the legs being formed as well. Soon, all the pieces formed to look like armour as they were brought towards Shadow as a screen box covered him. Soon, It shows an armoured Digimon in his place as he fell down to kneel on a pedestal, before rising up, bringing out swords from his gauntlets, slicing the air, before retracting them. "Duskmon!" The newly evolved Darkness Digimon said in a battle stance, ready for a fight.
(Music end)
"If you wana blast something, blast me! Lunar Plasma!''. Duskmon called out as he used his blades to form a red moon in the air, before the moon shattered with Duskmon charging at Deltamon, who fired his attack at Duskmon, but Duskmon cut through the attack and destroyed the Dark Ring, freeing the Digimon. Duskmon landed on the ground on his feet as his blades retracting. "That wasn't a challenge''. Duskmon said in disappointment at how nothing seems to give him a challenge anymore, with Fractal code surrounding him and disappeared to reveal Shadow. Shadow then walked to Davis, who screamed out 'You can keep your lousy autograph', making Shadow sweet drop, while seeing the Digimon Emperor leave on an Airdramon.
"And care to explain why you shouted that out''. Shadow asked the young leader on why he shouted out those words for no reason, getting Davis to turn to look at Shadow. "Shadow! The Digimon Emperor is really Ken!''. Davis shouted out at the Darkness user, making him widen his eyes in surprise at what Davis said. Shadow then thought about it and saw some similarities between the two, with a Darkness tentacle wrapping around his left leg, showing him a vision of Ken being the Digimon Emperor. "Well that's just great!''. Shadow called out in a little anger at how the Boy Genius was an evil boy genius.
Soon Shadow and Davis walked back to the team with all the Digimon back in their normal forms, with everyone welcoming them back with smiles. "Davis. That was really sweet that you tried to save all of us and did everything you could for us''. Kari said to her childhood friend with a bright smile, getting Davis's checks to turn red at Kari's words, getting Shadow to chuckle. "As much as I would like a chance to have a peaceful talk, we have bigger fish to fry at the moment, like the Digimon Emperor actually being Ken''. Shadow said to the team with his arms crossed, getting everyone to widen their eyes in surprise at what they heard. "Oh for the love of King Drasil, what's next? The Demon Lords come back for a party''. Grimdramon called out with his eyes getting tired at all these things happening.
"We can freak out later, buddy, but we have much work to do. At least we know who he is now''. Shadow said to his partner, getting everyone to nod in agreement at now knowing who the Digimon Emperor is. "Can we think about all that stuff later? We have to get back to Tai because we're going to the Carnival''. Kari said to the group as she reminded them about the Carnival, getting everyone's attention. "Kari's right. Let's forget about the Digimon Emperor and just have fun for tonight''. Davis said to the team, thinking that they should just have fun, getting nods from everyone. Soon everyone went back to the TV and soon left the Digital World.
(Real World)
Everyone landed on a dog pile in the real world again, only with Shadow at the bottom. "I'm gonna look for whoever made this, beat the crap out of them for making it so painful. I mean come! Don't they know it's gonna be a hard landing, I'll feed them to the dragons when I'm done with them''. Shadow cursed to whoever made the Digi-Gate, planning to make them a snack to his Dragons. "Welcome to my world''. Davis said to the Darkness user as everyone got up from the ground, before they leave the computer room with their partners and headed towards the bass stop.
Soon they made it to the bus stop, seeing the bus just arrives and that Tai was waiting for them. "You guys sure took your time''. Tai said to the team with a smile and arms crossed, wearing his school clothes. "We're sorry Tai''. Kari said to her brother as she held GrimSalamon in her hands, while Gatomon was in her Fusion Loader. "I'll let it go this time. Come on''. Tai said to the team as he and everyone else got on the bus as it took off towards the Carnival, with Cody seating next to T.K, who held their partners, Davis sat next to Yolei with them both holding their partners, Tai sat alone and Shadow and Kari sat next to each other, with GrimSalamon still on Kari's head and DemiGrimdramon and Gatomon in the Fusion Loaders.
(1 hour later)
The bus ride took a whole hour from having to pick up more passengers and make some drop offs, with the Digidestined talking to each other. Shadow talked with Kari, Davis and Tai. He talked with Kari about couple things and what they should do when they're finished with the Digimon Emperor. He talked with Davis about how to be a leader and about soccer with Tai joining in. He talked with Tai about understanding why he chose Davis as the next leader, getting Tai glad that Shadow understands why he chose Davis as the leader. Soon the group arrived at the Carnival.
Tai, Davis, Yolei, Cody, T.K., Kari, and Shadow were in the front entrance of the carnival, with a ferries wheel, stands, and other rides to enjoy, while their Digimon acted like stuff toys. "What is this place?" Shadow asked in wonder, not used to seeing something like this in his life, having never seen one during his time in the Data Squad world. "It's a carnival." Kari answered her boyfriend with a smile, getting Shadow to tilt his head in confusion. "It's also another place where people have fun." Tai explained as he, Shadow and the other 02 Digidestined entered with their tickets into the Carnival. "Really?" Shadow asked Tai, now interested even more. Everyone nodded their heads with a smile at the Darkness user's question. "Now that we're here, let's have some fun!" Kari said as she dragged Shadow by his right arm, along with the rest of the group following the couple to have a good time.
First, we see the group on the ferries wheel, with Tai sitting alone, T.K. and Cody in another together talking with their Digimon, another with Davis and Yolei sitting together and glaring at each other with their Digimon watching them, and lastly, Shadow and Kari in a seat of their own together, making out a little with GrimSalamon on Shadow's lap. The next thing that happened is Davis, Tai, and T.K. were at a duck shooting stand with cork guns to knock down the moving ducks, with the rest of the group watching, with Shadow interested. T.K. won in that game with a small rope as a prize. The next thing the group did was doing a high striker/strength test game to see who is the strongest. Tai, Davis, and T.K. tried it out with the hammer, only to not reach the bell that didn't ring. Shadow also gave it a try, and managed to ring the bell very easily, getting the guys and Yolei to jaw drop, while Kari was clapping and smiling at her boyfriend's success and at him having fun.
The group is nearby playing a different with Shadow and Kari watching a little away, with Kari giggling a bit, confusing Shadow as he looked at Kari. Kari pointed with her right hand's index finger, getting Shadow to turn to see a funny mirror showing his lower body being big, startling him. Kari kept giggling until Shadow smirked and touched Kari's shoulder, getting her attention, until Shadow pointed at another funny showing her wide head. Kari saw this and gave her boyfriend a light playful punch for the teasing, but still smiled. Soon, the group is at a ring bottle game, throwing rings into the bottle, with some of them making them in, with Kari, Yolei and Cody being the ones that were playing, with Davis, T.K and Tai watching with the partner Digimon in their hands with Kari wining at the moment. Shadow then decided to gave it a shot, throwing six rings into the bottles, succeeding in them going in, making him the winner, making everyone look in shock at how Shadow seems to be perfect in everything, while Kari was happy that Shadow was having fun.
Shadow then place all the tickets he won to a prize booth, exchanging them for a glowing sword. Shadow looked at his prize in his left hand, feeling that it was nothing like the real thing, until he saw a sad look from a little 6-year-old girl that had blond hair and wearing yellow clothes, who also wanted the prize sword. Shadow felt bad for the girl, so he gave his prize to the girl, surprising her, who took the prize gift with a smile, giggling while showing her parents. Kari saw this kind act and smile at Shadow's kindness, knowing it was one of the many reasons she fell in love with Shadow.
Much later, Shadow was sitting down near the food stands with a cold drink. Kari then arrived next to Shadow, holding cotton candy in her right hand, offering her boyfriend to try it out, with GrimSalamon asleep on Shadow's head. Shadow took a piece of cotton candy into his mouth, finding it very sweet. "That taste like pure sugar." Shadow commented as Kari sat down next to him. "Boy, were you in the Digital World for a long time." Kari replied to her boyfriend as she bit down on the cotton candy. Shadow turned to a side, seeing her point, getting Kari to notice his expression. "It's a joke." Kari said to Shadow with a worried look, trying to cheer her boyfriend up. "Oh." Shadow replied to Kari, still not used to what's real or a joke in his life, having not spent much time with people his age.
As Shadow and Kari sat down in each other's company with GrimSalamon asleep, before GrimSalamon turned into a flash that went into Shadow's Fusion Loader, they suddenly hear cheering and music nearby. Shadow and Kari then got up and joined with Tai, Cody, and Yolei to see a large crowd at a dance machine, with Davis and T.K. dancing off, with Davis winning, with T.K. barely keeping up with his opponent. Soon, the match ended with Davis as the winner. "Alright! Look I found something T.J. can't do." Davis said in victory as T.K. left the dance machine in defeat. The crowd cheered for Davis, with him waving his right hand. "Please, please, no autographs. I'm a very busy man." Davis said as he went back to the dance machine and continued dancing. "I like to see anyone that can stand up to Davis." T.K. said to the group as he arrived to the group, not being able to keep up with Davis. "I can do it." Shadow said to T.K, getting everyone to look at him. "Can you even dance, Shadow?" Kari asked her boyfriend if he knew what kind of dancing is needed. "I'm a quick study." Shadow replied as he walked towards the stand to face Davis.
Shadow arrived on the stage, getting Davis to notice the Darkness user. "Alright." Davis said as he stopped dancing and cross his arms in a smirk. Shadow stared right back at Davis with a neutral expression on his face. "Hope you're a good loser." Davis mocked his friend, thinking his going to win against Shadow easily and to impress Kari. Shadow and Davis soon got on the dance board, ready to dance off. Everyone watched in anticipation, along with Tai and the 02 group, to see who will win. The match begins, with Shadow starting off bad at first, getting Davis to smirk, thinking this will be an easy win for him. However, Shadow slowly began to get better in time, getting Davis to lose his smirk and focus on the screen in front of him. As the music got faster, so did Shadow and Davis following the beat in synch and into the rhythm.
This amazed everyone, including Tai and the 02 group, who were impress that Shadow is keeping up with Davis. "Look at them go." T.K. said to the group, as the group watch, while Kari smiled a bit to see her boyfriend having a good time. As the music still played, Shadow was beginning to surpass Davis, while Davis slowly began to grow tired overtime, his moves getting sluggish by the second. Soon the match ended, with Shadow as the winner, while Davis finally on his last legs, not believing that Shadow beat him at Dancing as well. Everyone cheered for Shadow now, impressed at the new winner on the dance machine.
Shadow got up the stage; follow by Davis, who is still catching his breath and hands on knees, tired out. "Awesome, man." T.K. said to Shadow, followed by Tai and the others. "That was quite impressive." Tai commented to the Darkness user. Davis also stood next to Shadow, still tired out. "You were very good too, Davis." Tai said to Davis, who raised a hand. "Yeah... okay." Davis groaned, accepting his defeat at the hands of Shadow. Kari gave Shadow a kiss on the check, before she wrapped her arms around Shadow's right hand, making Shadow smile as they all left the area, with people taking over to try to beat Shadow's record.
Tai, Davis, T.K., Cody, Yolei, Kari, and Shadow were near the exit of the carnival, very happy with today's events; having decided now was a good time to head home. While Tai and the others exited the carnival, Shadow spotted something with his right eye, making him stop for a bit. "Shadow, what's wrong?" Kari asked the child of Darkness, noticing her boyfriend's reaction before she reached the exit. Shadow then looked at his girlfriend, and made his decision. "Go with the others. I got to do something real quick." Shadow said to his girlfriend, before he walked towards a stand, leaving a confused Kari, who then headed towards the others. She hopes this doesn't take too long. The reason why Shadow headed to this stand, which is a baseball throw, is because he saw something of interest: a dragon mask that covers the top of someone's face, crystal eyes and covers the noise.
"Hello there, you here to play and win a prize?" The ball stand thrower asked, with Shadow nodding his head, and then pays the owner to get his balls. The owner accepted the payment, before he then handed three balls to Shadow on the stand. "Alright, knock down the bottles in order to win a prize!" The owner explained to Shadow, who picked up a ball and took aim at three stack bottles. Shadow pulled his right arm back as he focused, before he threw the ball, knocking down all the bottles on the first try, surprising the owner. "We have a winner!" The owner said in surprise about Shadow hitting all the bottles. The owner then turned to Shadow, who had a small smile on his face. "Now what will your prize be?" The owner asked, with Shadow pointing towards the dragon mask, which the owner nodded and handed it to Shadow. With his prize in hand, Shadow then headed back to his friends that are waiting for him with a smile as he held his new mask.
"Where is he?" Tai asked as he, Davis, T.K, Cody, Yolei, and Kari waited patiently for the Darkness user to catch up. Soon, the others spotted Shadow catching up to them, with something in hand. "Where have you been?" Davis asked in wonder, along with everyone else that thought the same thing. Shadow then showed them his new dragon mask, surprising the group. "I wanted something I like at a game." Shadow replied to the group, with Kari smiling, glad to see her boyfriend like something at the carnival. After that, the group then left together, glad to have that fun day.
(1 hour and 30 minutes)
Everyone took the bus again to get back to town, only Shadow talked with Cody and Yolei this time around as well, while he noticed that T.K seems to look at Kari with hungry eyes, like he wanted her for himself. Shadow kept close to Kari if T.K tried anything, before they all left the bus and now are walking in the middle of the street to head home.
Shadow, Tai, Kari, Davis, Yolei, Cody, and T.K., along with their Digimon, were now walking around town after finishing in at the amusement park, with Shadow holding his Black Dragon mask that he won, along with many more prizes while they were there at the moment. Suddenly, the group spotted a group of police cars surrounding a building from 10 feet away. "What's going on?" Shadow questioned as he and the group head towards the scene of the police. "All units, we have criminals that are dangerous and armed, along with hostages being held, over." A random police officer said through a walkie talkie as the police have guns pointed at the building. From the building, the robbers have guns, machine guns and even a bazooka aimed at the police.
"We should help them out with our Digimon." Shadow stated as he try to step in to help, only for Tai to hold a hand on his right shoulder. "No Shadow, we can't show our Digimon to the public." Tai replied to the Darkness user, getting Shadow to look at him with a frown. "You expect us to do nothing while people are in trouble?!" Shadow growled to Tai, not liking that idea of leaving people that needs help.
"Sometimes we can't help people that need it, even with our Digimon." Tai explained to the Darkness user, only for Shadow to turn around and fully glare at him, while snapping his hand off his shoulder. Right now, both of them have different views of the situation. "We can't just leave those helpless people!" Shadow exclaimed to Tai, now getting more mad at his friend for not willing to help out. Even the other Digidestined and Digimon partners agreed with Tai for this matter, no matter how wrong it seems in a way. Shadow looked at all of them, before he made his decision.
Shadow turned away from the group, putting on the mask he won, and then covered himself in darkness. When the darkness disperse, Shadow is covered in dark black clothes, black shoes in the form of dragon claws with two at the front and one at the back, black dragon gloves that reach his elbows, and a black shirt with a high collar and a picture of a Dragon with long sleeves, black long pants on as well. He still had his cloak on him and even Gauntlets like Wonder Women, only pure black, which the group is, confused and surprised for Shadow's change in clothing. "What are you doing?" Kari asked her boyfriend in worry.
Shadow then glanced at the group from his shoulder before giving his answer. "If you won't help, then I'll save them. I won't turn away when someone needs help." Shadow replied as he walked towards the building to save the hostages. Shadow passed by a police car, getting an officer to notice him. "Huh? Hey, this is a restricted area!" The officer exclaimed to Shadow, only to get ignored as Shadow walked towards the building. One of the thugs notice Shadow approaching, getting one of the thugs confuse. "Hey, there's someone coming!" A thug warned to his fellow criminals. "How many?!" Another thug asked the other thug who the leader is. "Just one! And it's a kid" The thug replied to his leader, surprising everyone in the building. "Just one and a Kid? Who cares if it's a kid, just shoot them down!" The lead thug ordered as all the thugs went in front and took aim at Shadow. A bullet has been fired first, going towards Shadow.
Shadow just stared, before he then reacted to the upcoming bullet. Shadow raised his right hand to black the bullet in front him with his gauntlet, crushing it, amazing Shadow at what he has done. "What the hell! It didn't work Fire!" A thug ordered the others, as they also took aim, and fired at Shadow. Shadow moved forward blocking a second bullet with his left gauntlet this time, which got him excited at the feeling, with more bullets coming, Shadow charged as he used his gauntlet to block all the bullets. A thug then fired his Bazooka at Shadow, with the bazooka bullet heading towards Shadow, who grew his left wing and set the Bazooka bullet to the ground, crushing it and leaving it harmless. Shadow then jumped high in the sky above the thugs, before he dived down at them and then…
Bam! Slam! Pow!
Shadow landed behind the thugs as they all got knocked out from the punches Shadow did to them. Shadow then reached the building, kicking the doors opened, with everyone seeing him up close in shock. "His here! Take him out!" A thug warned to his fellow criminals, who continued to fire on Shadow. The only thing they got is getting knocked out and having their guns sliced and destroyed by the Darkness user. Shadow moved faster then the speed of light and knocked out all the foes that he was facing.
The thug leader is getting worried as he watched the child of Darkness beat up all his thugs, before he got a sinister idea when he looked at a female hostage. As soon as the last thug is down through a kick to the stomach, Shadow heard a clicking sound and turned around. Shadow saw the thug leader pointing a gun to a young woman's head, crying for her life as she is being held by the thug. "Alright freak show, if you don't stop now, I'll shoot this woman through the head!" The thug leader warned, meaning his not playing around. Suddenly, the thug leader's gun is knocked out of his hand by a darkness tentacle, forcing him to let go of the young woman. Shadow quickly moved forward and knocked the last thug out by elbowing him in the stomach, leaving the only hostages awake during the whole thing.
The young woman from earlier got up and walked to Shadow, who stared at her through his mask, seeing she's just a 17-year-old woman that has light skin, blue eyes, blond long hair and wearing a yellow dress. "Are you okay?" Shadow asked in concern for the woman. "Yes, I'm fine. Thank you." The young woman gratefully replied, glad that she is safe. Soon, all the hostages got up and thank Shadow for saving them by shacking his hand, praising him and giving him $1000, getting Shadow a little nervous at the attention. Back outside, the police, Digidestined and Digimon partners watch as the doors opened, getting everyone to tense up. They soon relaxed as they saw the hostages come out unharmed. The police move in to help the hostages and arrest the thugs in the building. The last one to get out of the building was Shadow, who is smiling that the hostages are safe from harm. The Digidestined noticed Shadow and ran up to him, amaze and glad to see him safe. This also got a police officer to stop them for questioning.
"Alright kids, do you know this mask individual?" The police officer questioned in suspicion at the group. "Sorry, but we don't know who he is, officer." Kari replied to the officer, wanting to keep Shadow's identity a secret. Even the other Digidestined agreed that they don't know who Shadow is either. "Alright, but I'm going to ask that individual name next, and you should head on home, kids." The police officer replied, before he then turned towards Shadow. "To answer your question, my name is Dark Raven Dragon." Shadow introduced himself to everyone in the area, summoning his dragon wings and took off, heading to Kari's and Tai's house to rest for the rest of the day.
(10 minutes later)
All the Digidestined were walking home after the little incident, with everyone still amazed at what happened. "What Shadow did was so cool''. Davis said to everyone in excitement at what happened, getting nods from everyone in agreement. "Davis is right. It was like Shadow was a super hero''. T.K said to the group with a smile on his face, glad Shadow helped those people. "To be honest, I think Shadow is a hero now from his actions''. Cody said to the group, thinking that Shadow is now a hero from his actions. "Why did Shadow even do that? Now everyone knows of his powers''. Yolei said to the group with her eyes closed, thinking Shadow shouldn't have done what he did.
"Shadow did it because he wanted to help those people. Shadow always want to help anyone that's in trouble. That's one of the many reasons I love him''. Kari said to the group with her checks red, making T.K lower his head in despair at what Kari said, while Davis just gave a small smile. "Anyway, we should split up here. You guys head home, while me and Davis take the Digimon back to school''. Tai said to the group as they reach a point in the walk way, getting nods from everyone as they gave their partners to Tai and Davis. Soon the group split up with T.K, Yolei and Cody heading home, Davis and Tai taking the Digimon to school, while Kari heading home, while not noticing Shadow watching her from the top of a roof top.
Shadow continued to keep watched on Kari as she continued to walk home, before he looked around the area for any danger. However, Shadow then narrowed his eyes dangerously when he spotted four figures, one of them being Jaden will the others were wearing hoods to cover their faces. Jaden and his followers were all grinning evilly, who were all eyeing the unexpected Kari. Shadow growled as he saw the way Jaden and his goons began to speed up quickly at Kari, as it also begins to rain with thunder and lightning is heard as well. "Get her boys!" Jaden ordered his friends; getting Kari turned around, before she gasps in shock to see Jaden and his friends behind her, before she turned around and started running from them to escape. "Don't let her escape!" One of friends shouted out as he, Jaden, and the two others caught up with Kari in the rain. Shadow also saw this as well, glaring at the event in front of him, before he followed the others across the rooftop while being covered in darkness to catch up to save Kari.
Soon, Kari is in an abandon alleyway, which is still raining, until Jaden and his goons surrounded her for no escape. "Going somewhere, beautiful?" Jaden asked with an evil grin, as he and his goons cornered Kari to a wall on the abandon alleyway. "What do you want?!" Kari questioned in fear, knowing she can't get out. "You know exactly what I want. Boys, grab and turn her face to the wall!" Jaden ordered with an evil smirk, as two of his three goons grabbed Kari's arms and turn her around and against the wall, while the last goon pulled out a switchblade and handed it to Jaden. "Wonder what would you look like without clothes on?" Jaden asked as he grinned, holding the blade in his right hand as he slowly walked towards Kari to cut her clothes up. Kari started to struggle and kick with no success of be released by Jaden's friends, starting to fear what they will do to her.
Suddenly, some shadow whips appeared and grabbed the two goons that were holding Kari, sending them to the wet ground in the rain screaming, surprising Jaden and his other followers, along with a now released Kari. "What the heck?!" The goon next to Jaden asked in wonder and confusion as everyone looked around. "Who's there?! Show yourself!" Jaden shouted in a threatening manner to whoever interrupted his 'fun' with Kari. "Boss, look!" One of the goons from the ground said as he, Jaden, and the others, including Kari, looked up to see in the storm clouds and rain is Dark Raven Dragon, who had his wings, tail and pointy horns on his head spread out, looking down at all of them from the top of a building, growling, before he fell from the building and took flight and lowered himself to the ground, touching the ground in a battle stance. (Imagine Shadow doing the same stance from Leo from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy)
"Who is that?!" One goon asked as he, Jaden, and the others joined him to face this mask figure. "I don't care who he is, just get rid of him so I can get back to my 'fun'!" Jaden ordered as he pointed his blade at Dark Raven Dragon, as his three goons went forward to battle the mask hero. However, what they got was a one-sided beat down. As one goon went forward, only for Dark Raven Dragon to grab him to get him over his shoulder to the ground, before he slammed his tail into the goon's stomach, knocking him out. Dark Raven Dragon then grabbed another goon by his arm and kicked him in the stomach, then rolled over his back, along with a back fist to the last goon. Dark Raven Dragon then grabbed and sent those last two goons to a window wall next to Kari, who remained unharmed as she watched the fight.
Jaden was the last one standing, growling in irritation that this mask freak beat all his goons. "You'll pay for this!" Jaden said as he moved forward with his blade to stab Dark Raven Dragon, only to have the blade knocked out of his hands by Shadow's tail. Next thing Jaden knew is he got hit in the face again, getting knocked out to the ground and picked up by Dark Raven Dragon by being held by the throat. Dark Raven Dragon stared at the knocked-out Jaden, seeing his pathetic attempt to harm Kari to have 'fun', before he let him go fall into the ground. Dark Raven Dragon then looked at Kari, who watched her savior in amazement about keeping her safe.
"I'll admit I appreciate the help, but I can take care of myself sometimes, not always needing to be saved?" Kari asked sincerely, although she is very grateful as well from her boyfriend saving her. "I just couldn't stand the thought about you going home alone without anyone to protect you." Dark Raven Dragon replied to his girlfriend, never forgiving himself if something bad happened to Kari, while not looking at her because the rain made her clothes so wet that he could see her bra and panties. "Still, looks like I got a superhero stalker after me." Kari said to her boyfriend, smiling a bit in the rain as the rain made her hair stick to her face. "I was just around in time to make sure you were safe from harm." Dark Raven Dragon replied back to his girlfriend as he turned to look at her. "You're still amazing as always." Kari said to the mask hero as she walked up to Dark Raven Dragon. "Some wouldn't call me like that." Dark Raven Dragon replied to his girlfriend, looking at the unconscious Jaden and his friends, before he looked back at Kari.
"Don't I get to say thank you this time since you had to leave so suddenly last time?" Kari asked her boyfriend, before she began to lean her face towards Dark Raven Dragon. "Wait..." Dark Raven Dragon said to his girlfriend with a raised right hand, only for Kari to stop for a bit, before she leans forward and gave Dark Raven Dragon as kiss on the lips, closing her eyes in bliss with her hands-on Shadow's checks. Dark Raven Dragon was surprised at first, before he also returned the kiss, wrapping his hands around Kari's waist and pulled her close, pressing Kari's body against his, with both Digidestined enjoying this very much in the rain, along with being wet.
The kiss lasted for a while, which soon ended as they let go and looked at each other happily. "Let's go home." Dark Raven Dragon said as he scooped up to carry Kari, bridal style, getting her to blush and giggle. "Yeah, let's go home." Kari replied to her boyfriend with a smile, blushing a bit as she wrapped her arms around Shadow's neck, before Dark Raven Dragon then spread his wings and took off into the rainy sky, heading for home. Jaden and his friends were also left behind in the rainy alleyway, stilled knocked out from the beating they received from Dark Raven Dragon.
Soon, Shadow landed on the outside of the apartment, out of his Dark Raven Dragon costume and back to wearing his normal clothes, still holding Kari. "We're here." Shadow said as he put Kari on the ground, rain still coming down on both of them. "Alright. Now let's go and dry off." Kari said as she and Shadow went inside to get dry from the soaking rain. The couple soon was in the living room, both of them drying each other with towels, while wearing their sleep clothes since it was a little late. "Thanks for rescuing me, Shadow." Kari said to her boyfriend, seating next to him, still grateful to her boyfriend. "It was the least I can do for everything you've done for me in the past." Shadow replied back with a genital smile on his face. Kari looked at Shadow, before she started to grin, making Shadow confused. Kari then leaned her head forward until she had her mouth near his right ear, making Shadow blush a bit.
"How about we continued where we left off in my room?" Kari whispered seductively to her boyfriend with her eyes closed, making Shadow blush even more, knowing the meaning behind her words. Shadow nodded his head, not willing to argue with his girlfriend, making her smile. "Great!" Kari said with a smile, taking Shadow's right arm with her left, dragging him into her room. As soon as they entered the room, Kari and Shadow started to kiss each other again, holding each other tightly as Kari closed the door, with Shadow pressing her against the wall. Shadow even dipped her to kiss her, which Kari allowed. The couple continued to make out until they lay on the bed, still holding onto each other until they both got tired and fell asleep in each other's arms, happy to be with each other.
And that's chapter 3. Now for chapter 4.
