Into Hell
Wizardmon coughed and sputtered as more water got underneath his scarf and filled his mouth. He could hardly keep his head above the water as the high waves constantly crashed on top of him, forcing him to go back under water. He kicked and gave a dozen strokes; the force of the ocean was too great, he felt like a helpless creature struggling to break free of the powerful typhoons that carried him towards the deeper end of the ocean. he was also holding for dear life onto his sun-staff and the real crest of light that he finally snatched from Myotismon at the same time! His fingers in both hands grew sore and his palms began to bleed through his gloves as he squeezed tighter and tighter around the two items. If he didn't have to hold on to those two, it would be a little easier for him to swim to shore, and yet if he did, all would be lost for both him and Gatomon. He kicked and moved his arms as best he could, his muscles were becoming sore, and his body was growing numb from the coldness of the water. No! he couldn't die! Not here, not now! Not if Gatomon was in danger, since the vampire digimon found out the truth, who knows what he could have done to her! he hoped desperately that she was still alive despite what Myotismon had said to him. He came bursting out of the surface "Help!" He cried. "Somebody-" But his last words were cut off as another typhoon fell on top of him. Who would come and save her if not him? He wasn't even so sure if Tai or Augumon believed what he said about Gatomon! Eventually he grew more and more exhausted from struggling so much. If he didn't want to feel more pain, he would have to give up and drown! His lungs burned like fire for air, and he tried to break through the surface again. I don't want to die! He pleaded. "Help me!" He cried out again before swallowing more water. He treaded furiously wasting more energy than before but at least he kept his head above the ocean longer. "Help me…..somoeone…" his voice was muffled again by another wave crashing on him. "Someone…Gatomon, I must find you!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. Just then he flinched as several sharp things scratched him and he felt something solid under his feet. Whatever it was it lifted him out of the ocean he collapsed face down on the solid thing which turned out to be an enourmous brown furry hand, clutching onto his staff and the tag and crest, as he coughed and sputtered his whole body was drenched and soaked, and the air felt much colder than the water around him. He shivered slightly and tried to move but his sore muscles were limp and would not let him. He hardly catch his breath as he coughed up more water. He closed his eyes and passed out before he could breathe normally again.
Meanwhile Myotismon had conquered the whole city and ordered all of his henchman except for two Bakemon to capture every child in the city and bring them here. The vampire headed towards Gatomon. she was locked up in a small cage and the two Bakemon were standing guard over her. The white cat grabbed two bars as she looked up at him in fury. "Your wizard friend is dead!" Myotismon sneered coldly at her. "so who's going to save you now?" At those words, Gatomon let go of the bars as she hung her head in defeat. "What are you going to do to me?" The white cat asked quietly. The vampire ignored her question and turned to the two Bakemon. "Bakemon!" he commanded them. "Keep a close eye on her! we need her to point out the eighth child for us." And with that he spread his cape, leapt into the air and took off. Gatomon slumped down inside her cage, a tear fell down her white furry cheek. . He was going to force her to tell him who the eighth child was, and there was no way she could escape. No! She thought. If only Wizardmon were here to protect me, but he's gone!
A couple hours later, Gatomon stood up and gasped in horror as she saw nearly half the children young and old from toddlers to teenagers being dragged by Bakemon and other henchmen before her and the vampire lord. The kids were struggling to break free as they were brought forward, some being held while others were in chains and led on leashes, but it was the very little kids who were crying and screaming for their parents. The white cat's eyes welled with tears but she didn't have time to look away, because the two Bakemon unlocked the cage and grabbed her by the arms the minute the door swung open pulling her forward. While the two Bakemon held her none-too-gently, she was forced to stand up and look ahead at the whimpering children. She prayed desperately that Kari was not with those kids! Myotismon was standing right behind her, watching her closely. "Which one of these is the eighth digidestined, Gatomon?" He asked. One of the kids from the group was brought to her. It was a young boy probably in his teenage years, with black hair, blue eyes, and he was still in his gray plaid pajamas, and he was trying to keep a brave face on when he looked at the white cat digimon. Gatomon's large ears dropped down as she shook her head. "It's not him!" She answered. The boy stopped shaking and a Bakemon grabbed his arm and brought him back to the crowd of children. Another child then came forward. She looked so young with long pretty blond hair and hazel eyes and she was crying hysterically. Gatomon shook her head again. "It's not her either!" was her answer. "Gatomon!" Myotismon hollered from behind She gasped and turned around but she tried not to look at the vampire, and stared at his knee length dark boots instead. "If you lie to me, I'll destroy you and everyone around here!" He threatened her. The white cat digimon gulped and turned her head shaking. He may kill me even if I'm not lying! She thought to herself.
Wizardmon woke up a few hours later, he felt exhausted and his head was spinning like mad, he gave a soft groan as he slowly opened his eyes, which still stung from the salt water. "are you awake?" said a voice. At first he thought it was Gatomon or maybe even Kari, since it sounded like the voice of a child. When his vision cleared, he saw two kids sitting across from him. They were both boys, one looked much older than Kari, probably around Tai's age, he was really thin and tall with deep blue hair and he wore large round spectacles over his dark brown eyes and was carrying a white bag that was strapped to him like a purse. The other one looked no older than Kari or maybe he was even younger than that, he had hazel blue eyes and a large round green and blue hat was placed over his hair, which was blonde like his own but much lighter. On top of his round hat sat a small digimon; he looked like a flying brown hamster with a white belly and muzzle and four tiny paws. He had little bat wings and large blue eyes that were like Gatomon's eyes but they were a lighter shade of blue. "Wh-who are you?" The wizard asked weakly. The young, blonde haired boy smiled warmly at him while the other two just stared with shocked expressions. "I'm Takeru." Said the blonde boy. "You can just call me T.K." He pointed at the older boy with the glasses, " And This is Jo!" "Aren't you going to introduce me!" Shouted the brown winged digimon on T.K's hat. "Oh sorry," T.K. apologized. "This is Patamon, my digimon partner!" He said pointing to his partner. Wizardmon gasped, "You're the digi-destines!" He exclaimed. At that moment he remembered what had happened last night and held up the real tag and crest before the three of them who stared at it in wonder. "We've got to get this tag and crest to Kari!" He demanded. "Do you know where she is?" T.K, Jo and Patamon gasped, "Do you mean…Tai's little sister?" the blue-haired boy asked. "She's the eighth child? The one we've been looking for?" The two boys suddenly exclaimed. The wizard nodded, to answer their question and took the crest back before continuing on. "I…I need your help!" He began, a little hesitant to ask for this, but they needed to know the whole truth. "Gatomon is in danger, she was captured by Myotismon last night!" The boys and the winged digimon looked at the wizard a little suspicious. "Gatomon?" T.K asked. Wizardmon did not feel like going into explanations, there wasn't much time left, but he had no choice. "Gatomon is the eighth digimon!" He explained to the three of them. "She belongs to Kari, and we have to help her!" The two were just shocked and confused but the brown winged hamster frowned at him. "You, lie, wizard!" Patamon accused him. "How could Gatomon be the eighth digimon? She works for Myotismon who's going to destroy the eighth child, she's one of the evil digimon!" The other two digidestined gave a gesture of agreement. Wizardmon shook his head at them and sighed in frustration, but after all the terrible things his friend had done, it was not like they were going to believe him instantly! "Please!" The wizard begged desperately as if he was begging them to spare his life. "I know you don't believe me, but Gatomon is the eighth digimon, we don't have much time left, Kari and Gatomon need this crest!" Patamon, T.K and Jo looked at each other and then looked back at Wizardmon rather dumbstruck. No doubt the wizard digimon had the real tag and crest and knew who the eighth child and her partner was, but he could be lying,. "How can we beleive you, Wizardmon?" The teenage blue-haired boy asked. Just then all three of them jumped up as a loud deep voice spoke up, "Sorry to interrupt the conversation, but we've just arrived!" Wizardmon was especially disturbed and looked around to see where the voice had come from, and then he realized that thing he was riding on with T.K., Jo and Patamon was another digimon, probably Jo's partner digimon. He was enormous, like a brown hairy weasel or beaver and on his back that the four of them rode on was an iron shell, and he carried a steel hammer. They had just arrived at a dock. "Look, Matt, it's T.K and Jo!" Shouted an older girl's voice ahead. Jo and T.K. immediately climbed off the large beaver digimon almost slipping as they made their way down but Wizardmon stayed back and saw two other children, a human girl and boy, both way older than Kari or T.K. The girl wore baggy jeans and a yellow sleeveless top and light brown gloves like Wizardmon's. She had light brown eyes and short brown hair like Kari's except it had a touch of red in it and was covered with a strange round blue helmet. The older boy was blonde with hazel blue eyes , he looked related to the younger boy, T.K, perhaps they were brothers. And then the wizard saw coming from behind him a short red headed boy with the darkest eyes and eyebrows accompanied by a tall dark-haired adult man and a strange insect, his colors were several shades of red, yellow and green and he looked somewhere between, a lady-bug and a fly. Then came a large nearly eight foot high white wolf with black tiger-stripes all over it's body and an alarmingly large red and orange firebird with golden hawk eyes and reddish, and two mighty wings attached to it's humanlike body. Wizardmon gasped as he noticed the firebird was carrying another digimon in one of it's hands. He realized It had been paralyzed by Myotismon's "Nightmare Claw" because it had no color in its skin and clothing except for an ugly shade of gray. Feeling great pity, he slowly stood up, leapt into flight off the beaver digimon and landed as safely as he could on the ground. Once he came into present, although his eyes were fixed on the paralyzed digimon he sensed that the kids, the man, and the other digimon noticed him. Unfortunately they were not all too welcoming towards him. "Wizardmon?" Said the older blonde boy with displeasure. "What are you doing here?" The wizard ignored the boys question and walked towards the paralyzed figure. But how did they know his name? He never even met them before! His legs were weak and felt like jelly as he moved forward rather clumsily. As he reached the firebird's hand to get a closer look, he realized the paralyzed digimon was some sort of leaf fairy or flower pixie. She was slightly taller than he was and had the body of a human but not exactly the head of one. She wore a revealing mini tube dress with large broad teardrop flower petals at the bottom of it and wore lower arm coverings trimmed with leaves at the wrists and leaf-trimmed boots with daisies decorated on them. She had four skinny dragonfly wings, when he got to her face, it was round and oval shaped with a tiny lipped mouth two large shining black eyes shaped like the teardrop leaves that gazed off into space in sorrow and on her head she wore a plump but un-blooming blossom which was probably her own hair. "She was attacked by Myotismon wasn't she?" Wizardmon said, his tone understanding. "So what if she was?" He heard the older girl say behind him as if she didn't care if this fairy digimon was badly hurt. Wizardmon felt slightly hurt by their coldness, how did they even know in the first place that he was one of Myotismon's henchman? They didn't even know who he was! He tried hard not to care what they thought and continued to stare at the paralyzed pixie girl. He laid his gold sun staff on the ground so both his hands would be free. He then closed his emerald eyes, locked his gloved thumbs together and concentrated hard as he tried to recite a healing incantation in his head.. Finally the whole spell came to him smoothly and he opened his eyes and put his hands forward towards the fairy digimon. His hands felt warm and tingling and then gradually began to burn up until they sweated underneath his gloves. At that moment his hands began to glow a bright blue azure and then it drained into a ball of green energy that shot out of his palms and hit the fairy like an attack. The kids and the other digimon gasped as the pixie digimon absorbed the green light and it made her whole body glow brightly. Wizardmon gasped too as he vaguely saw through the blinding light the gray color draining from her. When the light faded he saw her natural colors: the fairy girl's boots were a spring green with bright yellow daises decorated on them and her bracelets were also yellow and her four wings were a deep green. her pale skin was the same color as human flesh, her eyes still remained their shiny black and her revealing tube dress and the blossom on her head were a soft light pink. She gasped and twitched all over, as if she was moving her muscles for the first time, the wizard sighed with relief, it worked! This was the first time he healed a digimon with magic. "Lilymon!" The older girl gasped. The pixie digimon did not seem to notice Wizardmon as she sat up and looked over his shoulder at the kids and the other digimon standing behind him someowhat dazed, for no reason the wizard also turned around to look at them. "Sora?" She asked weakly. "Matt, T.K., Jo, Izzie, Tentamon, Garurumon, Zudamon?" She then turned back and looked up at the firebird who was holding her. "Garudamon? Wh-what happened?" Before anyone could open their mouths to speak Wizardmon quickly spoke up. "Are you…alright…uh Lilymon?" He asked politely. The fairy pixie turned to him immediately and gave him a sharp glare. "you!" She hissed as if he was some kind of enemy. Wizardmon felt suddenly threatened and grabbed his staff off the ground backing away quickly as the flower pixie stood up and jumped out of the fire birds hand onto the ground. He did not want to harm her, but it seemed like she gave him no choice. "Wait! Stop, Lilymon!" T.K. shouted running forward and stood in front of the wizard with his arms out, so Lilymon could not attack him. "Wizardmon is one of us, he is one of the good digimon, he has the tag and crest!" "What?" everyone else gasped except for Jo, Patamon and Zudomon as Wizardmon held up the tag and crest of light in front of them and then gave a side nod of "thanks" towards T.K.. "This tag and crest belongs to Kari!" The wizard explained to them,. "We've got to save Gatomon! She was taken captive by Myotismon, and won't survive much longer unless we rescue her and give this to the eighth child!" Sora the auburn brunette, the older blonde boy (who was called Matt) and Izzie the redhead dark eyed boy and the pixie digimon stared at him dumbstruck. "Why Gatomon?" Sora asked, her eyebrows raised. "Because she belongs with Kari!" Jo explained further, Matt, Sora , Izzie and Lilymon gasped again. Wizardmon ignored their shock, he was too afraid for Gatomon and Kari! "Now where is she?" He asked rather demandingly, "Where is Kari?" T.K., Patamon, Jo and Lilymon all turned their heads to Matt and Sora who were hesitating and looking at the ground. Wizardmon fixed a his eyes on the two. "Well?" He asked impatiently. "They got her!" Matt answered gravely.
Gatomon was still defining the eighth digidestined. "Well Gatomon is she the one?" The vampire asked. A tall pretty golden haired girl with light brown eyes like Kari's and wearing a pink nightgown was placed in front of the white cat digimon. Gatomon shook her head "No she's not!" She answered. Suddenly Demidevimon came flying towards them, startling everyone. Gatomon wondered why he looked so excited. "Hey boss!" The blue bat digimon panted as he spoke, "Oh you're going to love it boss, I have great news for you!" "What is it, Demidevimon?" Myotismon asked curiously. "We got her! We got the eighth digidestined!" Demidevimon bellowed in triumph. The vampire and the white cat both gasped. "Oh no!" Gatomon whimpered softly to herself. "Not Kari!". "You did?" The Vampire asked, and then he smiled bearing his fangs as he turned to Gatomon. "You hear that? It's over!" He jeered at her. The white cat digimon shot him an angry glare, but Myotismon had already turned his head back to the blue bat digimon and did not notice her anger response. "Demidevimon!" He ordered. "c'mon, you'll lead the way!" "Yes, Master!" Demidevimon nodded. "What about all these kids, though? What should we do with them?" The vampire gave a chuckle of malice. "Make them all go to sleep! I'll deal with them later!" and with that the bat digimon obeyed him and sent a waves of energy from his beating wings. One by one the kids closed their eyes and dropped to the ground. When all of them had fallen into a deep slumber, Myotismon then grabbed Gatomon by the scruff of her neck and leapt into the air and both he and Demidevimon cackled as they flew towards the building where Kari was held prisoner. You! She thought bitterly, as he carried her through the flight. You think it's over? You think you've won? Bastard of a Vampire, I'll destroy you for what you've done to me! While I'm still alive! But deeper inside, it was hopeless for her, and she knew it.
"Look guys!" Izzie cried pointing at the sky, "Its Myotismon!" Everyone looked up and gasped as the vampire headed towards a strange building with Demidevimon leading the way. Wizardmon looked up at the vampire his lime green eyes widened when he saw him carrying someone else that he knew. "He's got Gatomon!" He gasped as he spotted the white cat digimon being carried by the scruff of her neck. His eyes narrowed in anger. "I'll save you, my friend!" He cried out. "I'll get you out of his clutches before he destroys you and Kari! I swear!" They didn't seem to hear him as they landed on top of a building, and sunk through until they disappeared into it as if there was a big hole in the roof. "That's where Kari is!" Sora cried out pointing at the building Myotismon had just gone into. "Hurry!" cried Matt as they all started running towards the building's entrance which was a broken glass door. Wizardmon shoved the crest of light into one of his jumpsuit pockets, but just as he started to run forward, his jelly legs shook, he felt nauseated in his stomach as if was going to vomit all over any minute, he felt so dizzy and yet he tried to pull himself together, but in the end he fell to his knees and breathed heavily.. "Wizardmon?" Said a gentle voice "Are you alright?" Wizardmon moaned softly as he looked up and saw T.K. and that young dark-haired man standing over him concerned. The human adult kneeled down generously, and reached out his hand without a sign of fear which surprised the wizard. "Here," He offered. "I'll give you a hand!" Wizardmon smiled with relief and grabbed the young man's hand and he helped him off the ground.
Kari was at the very top floor of the building. The young brunette stood trembling as Phantomon another one of Myotismon's henchmen clad in red and black robes and a red hood with a black scarf that covered his whole face except for his eyes which were a beady yellow and who carried a long razor sharp scythe that he held less than an inch away from the girl's throat. She then gasped as she saw a swarm of black bats suddenly appear at the ceiling. Demidevimon came out of the swarm first and then her light brown eyes widened in horror as Myotismon came out of them feet first landing on the ground in front of them and she saw that he was holding Gatomon by the neck. The white cat digimon looked at Kari with her sorrowful cat eyes. The vampire fixed his steel blue eyes on the little girl and gave an evil grin, venom slightly dripping from his fangs. "I got you my pretty!" He said. "And your little cat too!" and he cackled at his own joke. When he stopped he was still grinning evilly at the girl. "My dear!" The vampire said with a hint of mocking. "Why have you done something so stupid as to show your face to me?" His voice got louder and harsher. "Do you have any idea, what's about to happen to you?" A tear trickled down Kari's pale cheek, she was shaking uncontrollably but she couldn't help it.. "I…I guess I have an idea!" She spoke up hesitantly. "Then why?" Myotismon asked. "Because…" Kari began, swallowing her fear. "Because you were hurting all those people…and…it was all because of me you were doing this!". At that moment the young girl's light brown eyes narrowed as she held up her fists at the vampire. "Someone had to stop you from hurting innocent people!" Kari snapped coldly at him trying to show courage. Myotismon gasped as his grin faded into an astonished look,. But then his grin returned shortly afterwards. "My, my!" He complimented. "What a thoughtful little girl you are!" He then turned his head and looked at the white cat digimon who had her head turned away from Kari "Gatomon! Will you not look at the eighth child's face?" Myotismon asked. "No!" Gatomon answered him coldly. "Because she's not the eighth digidestined! Who is this child anyway? I've never seen her before!" The vampire looked at her in disbelief. "Oh really!" He said suspicious that she was lying to him. "We'll see about that, won't we!" and with that he snapped his dark gloved fingers and Demidevimon grabbed handfuls of the human girl's short brown hair with his claws. Kari screamed at the top of her lungs as the bat digimon lifted her off the ground by her hair. Gatomon quickly turned to her, her deep blue eyes wide with horror "KARI!" she screamed staring helplessly at the young girl who was crying out in pain as she hung a few inches from the ground. "NO!" The white cat digimon shouted as she struggled to break free from Myotismon's grasp . She then heard the vampire chuckling. "Kari!" He mocked. "That's interesting! You know her name and yet you've never seen her before!" He then snapped his fingers again and Demidevimon let go, the young girl dropped to the ground tears streaming down her face. Myotismon then let go of Gatomon who scrambled to her feet once she hit the ground and ran towards her human partner. "Kari?" The white cat digimon asked as she helped the young brunette girl to her feet. "Are you alright?" Kari looked up at her as she rubbed her head with both hands. "I…I think so, Gatomon!" She answered. "Together again!" The vampire chuckled. Kari and the white cat digimon turned their heads to Myotismon. Gatomon stood in front of Kari protectively with her arms out. "To bad it's ending so soon!" The vampire cackled as he spread his cape. "GRISLY-" "What do you think you're doing?" Shouted a voice behind him. Gatomon gasped as a dark-eyed redheaded boy came running forward accompanied by an insect digimon. The boy held up his digivice and it began to glow a dark purple. the insect digimon behind him began to grow larger. "TENTAMON DIGIVOLVE TO….KABUTERRIMON!" and hovering in midair where Tentamon stood was now a large flying blue and black horned beatle. "MEGAELECTRO SHOCKER!" Kabuterrimon shouted a blue and white ball of electrical energy emerged from the beattle's two front claws. "FLOWER CANNON!" Shouted a female voice and a pixie digimon had shot a green ball of light from the center of an enormous pink tiger-lily that she formed in her outstretched hands. Myotismon blocked both of the attacks with his cape and sent them upward as they hit the ceiling. Everyone screamed trying to hold their balance as the whole building shook violently. When the smoke cleared there was a huge hole in the roof and Myotismon grabbed Gatomon by the scruff with one hand and Kari by the front collar of her bright yellow shirt with the other. "It's getting a bit noisy in here!" He spoke casually as he lifted himself into the air heading for the large hole above him. "Lets find some place quieter!"
The young man stopped and panted at the top of the steps, there was only one more flight to go before they reached the top floor. Wizardmon did not feel all that exhausted but that was because the man had been half carrying him the whole time they walked up all the flights. When he saw how tired the young man was he gave a nod of approval. "Thanks for your help, sir!" The wizard said smiling and he really meant it. "Are you sure you can go the rest of the way by yourself?" The human adult asked a little concerned for him. "Don't worry!" Wizardmon assured him as the man let go of him. "I'll be fine!" And without looking back he ran up the last flight of stairs. But when he reached the top floor, he gasped and was shocked to see that the whole room was empty. Where had everyone gone? Just then he heard Myotismon cackling. The sound was coming from above him, he then looked up and his eyes widened as he saw a large hole in the ceiling! "You can't hide from me forever, vampire!" Wizardmon muttered under his breath as he leapt into the air, emerging from the hole. He saw that the vampire digimon had his back turned and he landed on the roof as quietly as he could thrusting his hand forward. "THUNDER BALL!" He cried and a round ball of orange light shot out of his hand. Myotismon did not have a chance to block the attack and it hit him hard in the back. He cried out as he was knocked flat on his stomach, and standing a few feet away from the vampire, the wizard saw Kari and Gatomon holding each other in fear. Gatomon gasped and quickly broke away from Kari's embrace when she saw who it was. "Wizardmon!" She cried out with joy. The wizard smiled quickly at her beneath his scarf and then turned to the young brunette girl and dug out the tag and crest out of his pocket. "Kari, catch!" The wizard cried as he threw the tag and crest towards her. Kari caught it with somewhat hesitation. "So, you've found your way back from the dead, Wizardmon!" Myotismon observed his tone bitter, as he quickly got back on his feet, unhurt. The wizard glared angrily at the vampire digimon. "That's right, Myotismon!" He responded coldly. "It will take more than the likes of you to destroy me!" "We'll just see about that!" The vampire digimon snarled, and his red bolt whip formed in his right hand and glowed it's blood red. "CRIMSON LIGHTNING!" He shouted as he cracked his whip and Wizardmon dropped his staff to the ground and gave a cry of agony as he got hit across the chest and was sent flying backwards quickly. "No! Wizardmon!" Gatomon cried as her friend was about fall off the edge where he would hit the ground far below. Just then the wizard gasped as he stopped frozen in midair and so suddenly that it felt like a big jerk in his whole body. He opened his eyes and saw Kari and Gatomon looking up at the person who just rescued him. He looked up too and saw the fairy pixie that he had healed and who tried to attack him holding him by the shoulders as she flew back towards the roof of the building and gently lowered him to the ground "You saved my life!" Said Lilymon smiling at him. The wizard nodded "thanks" to her as she flew back to the other digimon. "I'm getting awfully bored of all this mush!" Myotismon shouted impatiently. He then turned his cold eyes back to the young girl and her digimon. "Now I'll finish it!" He spread his cape again but before he could prepare his attack he stopped short as something interrupted him. "Hey, fang face!" Shouted a voice in the distance. "You've picked on the wrong guy's little sister!" everyone including Myotismon turned their heads. Kari smiled when she saw who it was. "Tai!" She cried out. Gatomon and Wizardmon gasped, standing another building across from them was Kari's older brother, with Augumon and another older girl. Gatomon had seen her before, it was the blonde girl in the pink nightgown. "Lilymon!" The blonde girl shouted. "Mimi!" The pixie digimon exclaimed happy to see her human partner again. "Kari, catch!" Tai shouted as he threw the digivice as far as he could, and fortunately it reached the building Kari was on but before she could just grab it, Demidevimon flew over and caught it first. "I got it Myotismon!" The blue bat digimon boasted. "I got the digivice!" "Good work, Demidevimon!" The vampire digimon complimented. "Not so fast!" Tai shouted. The brown haired boy held out his digivice and it glowed a sunset orange, then his digimon partner began to glow the exact same color. The midget dinosaur digimon began to grow larger and more muscular. "AUGUMON DIGIVOLVE TO……GREYMON!" where Augumon once was stood a huge t-rex same color as it's rookie for except he had black stripes on his back, and on his head was a black metal helmet and a sharp horn on his snout like a rhino. "NOVA BLAST!" Shouted Greymon as he breathed out a huge ball of fire. "FLOWER CANNON!" Shouted Lilymon sending another energy ball from her tiger lily. "WING BLADE!" scarlet red fire came bursting out of Garudamon's crossed arms and the fire took the shape of a vicious hawk that came charging towards the vampire. "VULCAN'S HAMMER!" cried Zudomon raising his war hammer. But Myotismon did not even flinch or tried to dodge all four attacks instead he made them all just fade into nothing, which shocked everyone. "He's too strong!" T.K. pointed out then turned to his digimon partner who nodded in agreement. At that moment the young blonde digidestined took out his digivice, the light it glowed was a bright yellow and then Patamon absorbed the glow. "PATAMON DIGIVOLVE TO…..ANGEMON!" A tall and handsome digimon with a human face and body stood (floated in mid air) where the small cute flying hamster was. He had long smooth brownish gold hair six feathery white wings, and he wore a white tight suit, with a shimmering blue ribbon wrapped around his right leg and arm and a silver helmet that covered his eyes and he carried a long warrior spear. "Now what!" Myotismon groaned when he saw the angel digimon suddenly pop up behind him. "HAND OF FATE!" The angel shouted and a golden ray of light emerged from his fist and pierced the vampire's shoulder like a spear. Myotismon cried out in agony and fell to his knees clutching his injured shoulder as if his whole arm would fall off if he let go. "Do you finally give up?" Angemon asked him coldly. "Or are you still going to fight?" Myotismon looked up at the angel digimon smirking. "I was actually going to ask you the same thing!" The vampire sneered and at that moment he got back on his feet and turned back to Kari and Gatomon thrusting out his arms and spreading his cape. "GRISLY WING!" He shouted. Everyone gasped. "KARI!" Tai cried out, as they all saw thousands of black bats charging towards the eighth child and her partner "NO, GATOMON!" Wizardmon screamed , but it was too late! he was doomed they were all doomed, in less than a minute the bats would start feeding on his friend and her human partner alive and they would die the same slow and painful death like his sister and those two children did. He had already lost his own people, he could not lose her! Gatomon was especially frightened and tried to shield Kari who was screaming, they could not escape or even dodge half the group of bats, in less than a second, they get poisoned and eaten alive. She had just found Kari she had just found where belonged and she had just escaped from the evil Gatomon Myotismon had turned her into, and now it was all ending. If she and Kari died right here, right now, it would not just kill her best friend Wizardmon, but her's and Kari's death would bring darkness to both worlds. Just then, a rosy pink light which startled everyone suddenly appeared and grew larger until it was like a shield that covered the young brunette girl and the white cat digimon, their was an irritating screech as the bats quickly dissolved in the light's glow, turning into swirling bits of data. The light was coming from the tag and crest. Just then, Demidevimon screamed in pain as the digivice he caught suddenly began to glow too, making the device burn like fire in his claw. "I…can't….hold on!" He cried and dropped it. Wizardmon grabbed it quickly before it hit the ground. "Kari!" He cried throwing it towards her and she caught it! "NO, NOT HER NO!" Myotismon shouted panicking, but it was too late, and Gatomon's entire body glowed pink and she felt a shocking tingle through her system. Suddenly she gasped, as her cat tail disappeared and so did her lovely tail ring, her white fur fell out as she grew taller into a human shape. She was now a humanlike digimon like Angemon her body so slender and beautiful and her human face so fair. Her large cat ears went back and turned to shiny golden hair on her that flowed down to her waist and six white and feathery wings sprouted out of her back. Her outfit was a very revealing bikini with a plain white bottom that was a bikini bottom on one side and tight white pants on the other and a gold winged bra and she wore four black leather belts with silver buckles, two around her bare stomach and two around the thigh part of her left leg. she wore a bright pink ribbon across her shoulders and around her arms like a shawl and at the bottom on both sides of the ribbon, it look plump and feathery, and she wore on her feet two different boots, one boot was white with lots of big feathers on the foot part and the other boot was also white with a silver zipper all the way through the middle. Last her deep cerulean blue eyes we covered completely by a silver helmet with white angel wings on each side. "GATOMON DIGIVOLVE TO……ANGEWOMON!" "Gatomon?" Kari gasped in wonder. Everyone even Myotismon stood frozen when they saw Gatomon's ultimate form. Wizardmon stared in amazement, and could not take his emerald eyes off the new image of his friend. Once the adorable white cat he was used to; she was now a beautiful angel of light and there was a rainbow glow that surrounded her form, the glow of heaven. "Gatomon!" He finally exclaimed in awe. "You…digivolved!" Myotismon narrowed his steel eyes in fury. "She is pretty, no doubt," The vampire replied coldly, "But she won't defeat me!" "Myotismon!" Said the angel woman all though her eyes were covered you still knew that they were fixed on the vampire. "You tried to destroy me and the eighth child! You enslaved me and tortured me with your cruelty but it wasn't just me you oppressed, You've hurt Wizardmon and those who've been loyal to you as well!" She snapped at him her tone was harsh. "How could you be so cruel?" The vampire grinned evilly at her, but inside he felt a twinge of fear for his defeat. "Don't play such coy with me, Gatomon!" he shouted coldly. "Why should I have regrets for the things I've done? I have a destiny to conquer both worlds, and neither you nor anyone else can stop me!" He spread his cape and arms again. "GRISLY WINGS!" He cried, but before even one black bat could emerge, the angel woman thrust her arms out immediately. "HEAVEN'S CHARM!" Angewomon cried, and she put her hands together in front of her and a golden halo shot out which turned into a white light that encircled the vampire. Myotismon cried in agony, the light was a vanquishing fire that caught onto his whole body and started burning him alive. But in the end he wrapped his black and scarlet cape around himself and the fire disintegrated but his cape and clothing was torn and everyone could see patches of bright red and blistery (some of them bleeding burns) all over his body and face. Even though he had gotten rid of the flames, he was still in so much as if he was still on fire and he screamed and braced himself for a death blow. "You….cat…Btch!" He finally shouted as he looked up at her and then leapt into the air. "CRIMSON LIGHTNING!" He cried out, and several crimson lightning bolts came lashing at the angel woman from every angel. Angewomon screamed as they whipped her from every angel so hard; although she had digivolved, she still had her scars when she was Gatomon and Salamon, but not all of them were reopened and when it ended, she dropped to the ground and took quite a long fall. "Gatomon!" Kari screamed running towards her fallen partner. But the young digidestined stopped short, when the angel woman heard her partner's call and turned to Kari smiling weakly at her. "Don't worry, Kari! I'm fine!" she assured her and she was, although her whippings were hurting her terribly, and she felt somewhat weakened by the blow, she still had the strength to get back up and fight. "Are you ready to surrender to me, now?" Said Myotismon. "Never!" Angewomon cried and a white glittering bow and arrow appeared suddenly in her hands. "CELESTIAL ARROW!" She cried and released the magical arrow from it's bow, it came too fast for the vampire to block it and he screamed as the arrow went right through his heart. The fact it was an angel's arrow and it had heaven's magic on it made it even more painful, he could feel the fire again but this time it was spreading on the inside and was powerless to stop it from growing. Wizardmon, Angewomon and all the other digimon and digidestines watched with triumph. Just then their hopes crashed down when the vampire looked up at them and grinned evilly at them. He grabbed the arrow that was in his chest and pulled the whole thing out with one yank without even wincing or crying out in pain, and they all watched in shock and disgust as the bleeding wound that burned a large hole in his cerulean gold-buttoned suit and half of his skin off, closed up quickly, the skin even turning back to its natural color as if the angel woman had not harmed him at all. "You cannot defeat me!" Myotismon sneered at them. "Pity I have to finish you off so easily and so suddenly!" He then threw his head back in laughter. "Say goodbye!" He cackled. Before anybody could make a move, the vampire began to chant some sort of spell, that even Wizardmon could not understand. When he finished, appearing before them was a dark swirling portal not to the digital world, but to some dark hell dimension. "Now!" Said Myotismon, "hand over Gatomon (or should I say Angewomon) and the eighth child or you will all be sucked into one of the darkest worlds you could not even imagine! This is your last chance, either I take one life or all of your lives!" The kids and the other digimon fell silent, and exchanged worried glances with Kari and the angel woman, now all of their lives were at stake! The vampire finally grew impatient. "So, be it!" He decided. Suddenly everyone felt some invisible force grab them and pulling them towards the portal. The biggest and strongest digimon, Greymon, Garudamon and Zudomon grabbed on to the balcony rail or dug one of their claws into the floor while they tried to hold onto all the kids and the smaller digimon or just the smaller digimon while they held onto their partners, . "Hang on tight everybody!" Sora shouted. "Don't let go!" The youngest kids, T.K. and Kari, and the older blonde girl Mimi (who was a older than them but could be very whinny sometimes) were screaming bloody murder, tears pouring down their cheeks as they clung onto their partners or onto the bigger digimon for dear life. As for Wizardmon, he would've gotten sucked in immediately if Angewomon had not grabbed him but now the angel woman had both Kari, Tai and Wizardmon to hold while Greymon held her. Myotismon who wasn't getting sucked in, although he was standing right close beside it he was standing away from the portal's pulling force, cackled his head off and waved his arms and the portal grew larger making the force stronger. "Zudomon! Please don't let go!" Jo panicked, his partner digimon had one of his arms hooked around the rail and held Angemon who held T.K. in one hand and Kabuterrimon who held in his bug claws Jo and Izzy in the other. "I can't hold on much longer, Jo!" The war beaver digimon shouted. "None of us can! The portal is too strong!" Shouted The fire bird digimon Garudamon who was holding Sora, Mimi, Lilymon, Matt and Garurumon all in one arm. Wizardmon looked at Angewomon (even though she digivolved, he still saw her as Gatomon) who stared right back at him. He could almost see her eyes behind her silver helmet full of fear and welling up with tears from trembling so much, overall, he knew that she was frightened not just for her own life but for Kari's, he could feel her fear in his bones, and she wasn't the only one who was terrified. He looked at Kari who was crying as she clung onto her digimon partner. "Mommy!" She blurted out between sobs. "Where are you mommy? I don't want to die!" "Kari, I'm here!" said Angewomon who tried to comfort her but even she was trembling. The wizard watched as Tai put his arms affectionately around his sister, "Kari!" He spoke gently, but Wizardmon could sense fear in him too, "Kari everything is going to be okay!" The young boy held her close. A tear trickled down the wizard's pale blue cheek, and then he immediately saw himself as Auramon in place of Tai and Dricomon in place of Kari, this young boy was about to lose his own sister just like he had lost his. He then turned away and looked at the others, T.K. and Mimi were also crying out loud not just for their parent's but for their own lives while the rest of the older and braver kids, Tai, Matt, Jo, Izzy and Sora and the other digimon tried to hold in their fear while they tried to comfort their friend. Wizardmon then looked back at Angewomon who was looking at him in fright as if she expected him to save everybody. The wizard was frightened too, they were all going to be destroyed unless somebody could close that portal, but they would still have to destroy Myotismon and he could just open up another! He tried not to tremble in front of the angel woman and brushed back a tear, but then he forgot that she could always notice his deepest feelings no matter how hard he tried to hide them. He already lost a sister and a family that loved very much now he was going to lose his best friend. Just then a thought came to his mind, he shuddered, for it would be a great risk for him, NO it wouldn't be a risk it would be worse than that, but on the other hand, he knew it would be the right decision, and he had to do it, there was no other way. It was a spell he had learned from his father about closing portals, when Azrielmon taught him about magical worlds! As long as Gatomon and the digidestines will be saved, he thought to himself, I shall be happy! "Gatomon!" He spoke up. "What is it Wizardmon!" Angewomon cried out. He feared this choice greatly but wasn't scared enough. "Forgive me , Gatomon!" The wizard's voice was low but she could hear him and just then the angel woman gasped in shock even Tai and Kari looked up and saw the wizard all of sudden struggling to break free. "Wizardmon!" Angewomon screamed. "What are you….What do you think you're doing?" "Let me go! I have to do this!" Wizardmon yelled in response. "Do what?" Cried the angel woman. "Are you crazy?" "Gatomon, there's no time left!" Wizardmon shouted growing angry and impatient. "I must get Myotismon through that portal and then close it!" as long as the vampire didn't move away, he could extend his arm and grab Myotismon by his suit or cape and pull him in. Angewomon began too break sweat as she squeezed her arm around him with all her strength. "No Wizardmon!" She screamed. "I'm not going to lose you!" The wizard could scarcely breathe, the more he struggled, the tighter she held him. "Let go of me, dammit!" He coughed. He did not want to hurt her but there was no other way! The angel woman cried out in pain and Tai and Kari gasped in horror, as the wizard hit her arm with his staff putting all his strength into it the rays on his golden sun scratched her, drawing blood. Angewomon did not let go but she loosened her grip some allowing Wizardmon to break free from her grasp. He stretched his free hand out to the side, he felt as if a chains had bound his arms legs and waist and began to pull him forward towards the portal faster and faster until he could see nothing around him but blurry shapes and colors; he felt as if he had been pulled right out of his own solid body and his spirit was entering the gate of death. He was half relieved when he felt his hand And then his whole arm hit something soft like a body and heard Myotismon gasp as he held him With both hands by the collar dragging the vampire into the portal with him. "WIZARDMON, NO!" He could hear Gatomon screaming in the distance as he muttered under his breath as best he could the incantation. His body could no longer take the great speed and he felt nauseous and his stomach bound itself into knots. Where was he going? Was he already in the dimension? Did the portal close behind him? He could not tell, everything was a blur. Suddenly he was finally stopped when something hard and sharp hit his head knocking the wind and all conciousness out of him. He closed his eyes and fell far down into space.
The portal had closed and faded into nothing, the digidestines were safely to the ground as all of their partner digimon dropped onto the balcony and de-digivolved to their rookie and champion forms. Although they were all exhausted, they were too shocked to lie down catching their breaths. What just happened to Wizardmon and Myotismon; it all happened too fast, all that was left behind was the wizard's golden sun staff lying there before them. Gatomon ran forward, picked up Wizardmon's staff and held it close to her in her arms. She was not crying out loud for the loss of her friend but her cerulean blue eyes were heavily welled with tears that she could barely see. "Wizardmon!" She sniffed, hot tears pouring down her white furry cheeks, she hugged the staff tighter, just then she saw something else lying on the ground, a strange item that Gatomon had never seen before, but it surely must have belonged to the wizard.she dropped the staff and brushed away her tears as she picked up the strange object examining it. It looked like an amulet or a medallion, it was very pretty, a round and flat golden pendant with a sparkling white gem in the center of it and circling the stone were what looked like strang markings of an ancient language etched into the gold and the thing hung on a necklace chain. Kari ran up to her, the young digidestined was crying too as she kneeled beside her partner digimon. "Oh Gatomon!" Kari said gently and put her arm around the white cat's shoulders, she then noticed the item her partner was holding and touched it curiously tracing the symbols. Gatomon did glanced at Kari, her mind was still on her best friend, he saved her, and gave his own life for it! But why did he have to leave her? Gatomon dropped to the ground shaking and held the amulet to her chest while Kari tried to comfort her.
