Adam's Angst But a Protective Heart

When the other Digimon fell to ground in their casual forms. Transylvainmon walked up to the area and made a circular clearing.

"Ha. Looks like the effort was useless. Now die." Transylvainmon lashed out his claw but Kaiyomon's Protect & Shield prevented him. Then he went back to his Draculamon state. "One day, Adam, one day." He mysteriously said returning to his castle.

Adam pounded the ground in frustration. "I though that would've worked! I don't believe it! After all that time, Draculamon never digivolved!" Adam cursed himself.

"Adam, it's OK. You never knew was going to digivolve. Stop blaming yourself." Izzy said trying to rectify Adam's self-cursing. "

You're right, Izzy. We'll just have to figure out something else." Adam agreed.

"First, we need to get away from here. We're still in Draculamon's territory, we need to leave so he won't get the wrong idea." Matt suggested. The DigiDestined left the island. It was dusk. They camped out near the bridge with a campfire and sleeping bags. Adam sitting against a tree ashamed at the last battle while the other DigiDestined and Digimon were near the campfire.

Eventually, it was nightfall and went to sleep including Adam. Adam went into a nightmare. Adam was in a dark abyssal then Draculamon appear and digivolved to Transylvainmon and lashed a Shadow Claw. Kaiyomon wasn't in sight. Adam awoken from the nightmare in a cold sweat. He saw everyone was asleep including Kaiyomon. He got up and went toward the bridge and stared at Draculamon's castle. Then grabbed his ice blue Digivice and looked at it and thought, "In order for Kaiyomon to go into an Ultimate form, our bond must be strong then we can defeat Draculamon even as Transylvainmon. I can't rest until that happens." He closed it in his grip then the Digivice got digital writing on the screen unbeknownst to Adam. The next morning, they awoken to see that food was near them and Adam was already wake eating a pear.

"Adam got us food." Tai said.

"Probably still down about that loss." Mimi guessed but still correct.

"I don't blame him. Trying to get rid of a fear then something unprecedented comes right up and prevents that from happening can really give you nightmares." Tentomon explained.

"I think we should infiltrate that castle again." Sora suggested.

"You're right, Sora, but this we should stay the way we are because a frontal attack in our Champion forms might mean more bad news." Biyomon concurred.

"Then someone should tell him." Izzy assumed.

"I'll go tell him." Kaiyomon pronounced and glided toward Adam, "Hey, Adam, the others think we should infiltrate the castle again. Everyone agreed. You game?" Kaiyomon announced to Adam.

"Good. I realize that my plan need the to be tweaked a bit." Adam finished eating his pear and stood. "

So, Adam, you in?" Gomamon asked.

"Yup." he answered. Everyone ran across and continued running until they met the entrance.

"I think its time for a rude awakening." Tai jested. Their Digivices glowed and the Digimon digivolved. With Draculamon, he was still dark-napping. However, a rude awakening occur.

"Hyper Burst." echoed Terrordactmon. This caused Draculamon to open his eyes only to see the flash-like blast blow him back. They arrived inside the dark abyssal castle.

"How rude! How dare you barge in my castle while I'm in a slumber." Draculamon contradicted, "However you know that this effort is useless. Draculamon digivolve to…" The same sequence happened in Draculamon's previous Digivolution. "Transylvainmon." Adam clutched his Digivice with hope in his heart that a miracle would happen.

"Here it comes." Ikkakumon warned.

"Shadow Punch!" Transylvainmon echoed throwing/discharging a shadow fist. It was evaded but that was intentional. The DigiDestined were wide open. "Got them. Shadow Claw!" He lashed out a shadowy, immaterialized claw. The Digimon weren't fast enough to catch up. The attack was going to hit. Adam appeared in front of the group arms out taking the blow for them. Everyone gasped and turned wide-eyed. Adam dropped his Digivice and clutched his mid-section with both arms and fell to one knee.

That wasn't a physical attack, it was a hit to the soul but still causes equal damage. "You took the attack for them? You're a fool, Adam." Transylvainmon disregarded his brave action.

"Adam, why'd you that?" Sora inquired.

"I didn't want you guys to get involved. Draculamon would've hurt you guys and would be my responsibility. This is my grudge fight." Adam explain still in spiritual pain. He grabbed his Digivice, amazingly, it glowed meaning a Digivolution sequence. The anime sequence for an Ultimate form occurred for Terrordactmon.

"Terrordactmon digivolve to…" He said before transformative Digivolution.

"Anclybatylmon." the newly Digivolved creature continued off of Terrordactmon. The digivolved creature was a four-winged creature. Black Pterodactyl skin. Notably, his two of his wings are shaped like the prehistoric Archaeopteryx but different colored. His other two wings are bat wings. "Impossible!" Transylvainmon protested shocked that he faced an equally matched Ultimate-leveled Digimon. "Spear Storm!" He echoed. Shadowy spears numerously struck Transylvainmon blowing out of his castle. He stretched his holed wings and took flight. Anclybatylmon followed.

"Black Sphere!" The grey terrorist echoed launching a black ball. Anclybatylmon dodged and used another Spear Storm. "I've had it with you! Vortex of Darkness!" Transylvainmon exclaimed.

"As have I. Shadow Constrict!" He echoed. The Vortex of Darkness was stopped completely in shadowlike smoke and it was redirected.

"NO! My ultimate attack! Repelled?! This can't be!!" Transylvainmon shouted disapprovingly. The attack shot right through him in spirit. Transylvainmon was defeat but not dead.

"He got him." Adam whispered. Then an earthquake occur inside the tower.

"We have to get out of here. This tower's going to implode." Birdramon warned. The Digimon carried the DigiDestined out of the tower and reverted back to their casual forms as do Anclybatylmon.

But Draculamon's sinister laugh was heard, "Don't celebrate yet. I'm not dead and bad news come with the destruction of my castle." The islands turned black and separated into a portal and the DigiDestined and Digimon fell into it. "The islands separate into Abyssal Island. The island of darkness. Where you are trapped until you can kill me." he explained and laughed. Everything went black. When Adam woke up the sky was black but the island was the same except the new black tower castle of Draculamon. Oddly, something was going with there Digivices. The same digital writing occurred then disappeared.

"Guys! Wake up!" Adam shouted loud enough to wake them.

"Whoa! What happened here?" Agumon questioned.

"Maybe it's that Abyssal Island Draculamon was talking about." Palmon assumed answering.

"It's got to be." Izzy said.

"So we're stuck here until we defeat Draculamon, is that right, Adam?" Mimi questioned.

"Yeah. In my best assumption, we should prepare for Draculamon before we combat him. We're in his domain and can't afford another mistake." Adam suggested.

"You're right, Adam." Tai agreed. The group stared at the tower. "We're coming for you, Draculamon!" Tai threatened with determination pointing toward it.
