Chapter 6: Love Will Find A Way

After packing their things, Palmon look at the 6 In-Training and Fresh Digimons that were her students at the Digimonschool. One by one they started leaving until only Tsunomon and Kapurimon are left.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye…" said Kapurimon, looking sad.

"Yeah…" Tsunomon said but before he hops towards Yamato, he look back at his friend. "But I'm sure we'll see each other again."

The In-Training slowly smiled and replied, "Definitely." And the 2 Digimons start to go their separate ways.

/

A few hours later, Hikari just couldn't stop looking at Mimi, who is now even more cheerful than since they arrived at the Digital World, but also the sad look on Jeri's face.

"Hey, don't worry about it." Hikari said to Jeri. "I'm sure we'll find your partner soon."

"I really hope so…" Jeri said, looking away from Hikari.

"By the way," Takeru said. "Thanks for getting me safe back on dry land last night, Taiki. If you didn't, then MegaSeadramon would have held both me and Nii-san hostage."

"Actually, you should be thanking ChibiKamemon. He's the one that got you back on dry land at the first place," said Taiki.

"Please Taiki, you're making me blush kame," said ChibiKamemon from inside Taiki's Xros Loader.

WHOOSH!

"Huh?"

"What's wrong, Taky?" asked JP.

"I told you already, stop with the nickname, and I'm not sure. I'd better check it out." Takuya walked ahead of the others when suddenly,

BOOM!

"Hey! What's going on here?" asked Takuya, who is being held hostage by what looks like blue fire, mixed with liquid metal. Zoe is about to touch the thing surrounding Takuya when Akari grabbed her arm.

"Don't touch it. I know what that stuff is."

"You do?" asked Zoe, looking surprise.

"Yeah, as a matter of fact I do too. It's an attack of an Ultimate Digimon."

"Speaking of Digimon," Wormmon said, "There's one not too far away from where Takuya got hit."

"It must be the same Digimon that trap Takuya," said Koji, who is taking out his D-Tector like the other 4 Warriors.

Metal Fireball

BOOM!

"What the- How did that attack managed to held all of us up?" Shoutmon said, realizing that every human and Digimon are trapped by the same materials Takuya is trapped in.

Suddenly, a giant Digimon walked out from behind a giant tree and only Damemon is able to look at the Digimon, with a surprise look on his face he said, "No good, no good! It's SkullMeramon!"

"WHAT?" Sora, Mimi, Koushiro, Taichi, and the Xros Heart United, minus Tagiru said, look at the digimon with the same expression that Damemon had.

"Wait, you guys know this Digimon?" asked Takato.

"As a matter of fact, yes," replied Kiriha. "This Digimon was part of the Bagra Army that Taiki told me he had to face against before we teamed up."

"Really?" said Koushiro, "We had to face against this same Digimon back before Hikari is revealed to be the 8th Digidestined 7 years ago."

"But only me, Sora, Koushiro, Taichi, and our partners faced against it at Tokyo Tower." Mimi said, reminding the others why only the 4 of them know this Digimon.

"Now what? Takuya's group can't Spirit Evolve, us Tamers and Taiki's team can't make our Digimons digivolve or anything else without holding onto our Digivices," said Kazu, but then Taiki said, "I have an idea! We have to depend on Taichi and Daisuke's group since their Digimon is the only ones that can digivolve without their partners holding onto their Digivices."

"Sorry Taiki," said Tsunomon, "Both Koromon and I still can't Digivolve because of our lack of energy."

Koromon look at Taichi and say, "I know I've been on the sidelines since Crusademon attack us yesterday but,"

"It's alright buddy," said Taichi, "It's not your fault you don't have any strength left. Now Daisuke, it's all up to you and the others."

"Got it," said Daisuke before looking at Veemon, who along with the other 8 Destined know what to do.

Biyomon Digivolve to…Birdramon

Tentomon Digivolve to…Kabuterimon

Palmon Digivolve to…Togemon

Gomamon Digivolve to…Ikkakumon

Patamon Digivolve to…Angemon

Veemon Digivolve to…EXV-Mon

Armadillomon Digivolve to…Ankylomon

Hawkmon Digivolve to…Aquilamon

Wormmon Digivolve to…Stingmon

After the 9 Digimon digivolved, the liquid metal around them shattered, freeing their bodies from the trap.

"Taiki's right, it works!" said Akari.

"Alright EXV-Mon," said Daisuke, "Now free the rest of us so that all of us can take the Ultimate down!"

"Got it!"

Vee-

Heat Chain Midareuchi

Many fiery chains suddenly start to approach from SkullMeramon and whip at EXV-Mon, hurting the Champion as he yells out an earful scream. The other Digimons try to help him but they also got hit by the chains just by getting close to help their hurting friend.

"Hen-wee," Suzie said, shutting her eyes tight, "The Digimons are getting hurt!"

"I know Suzie," said Henry, trying to look away from the fight, "But we can't do anything to help them!"

The battle goes on for what seems like an hour that all of the Digidestined and remaining trapped Digimons shut their eyes from watching the very painful fight, the 9 Digimons revert back into their Rookie forms, covered with marks from the fiery chains all over their bodies.

"Now that that's taken care of," SkullMeramon look away from the 9 beaten up Digimons, looking at the trapped Digidestined and start to walk towards Mimi, "Time to focus on my main purpose for being here."

"I don't think so!"

Water Breath

A gust of water starts to appear out of nowhere and strike directly at SkullMeramon.

Flame Chain

The attack was launched aimlessly and instead of aiming at Mimi, the attack is heading right towards Sora!

BOOM!

"SORA!"

When the smoke clears, everyone was expecting Sora to take the hit, but instead, they found someone else standing in front of her, taking the hit instead.

Sora slowly opens her eyes, wondering why the attack didn't hit her yet, and was shock to find out who had taken the blow instead. "Y…Yamato?"

Despite the pain from the 'Flame Chain' attack, Yamato managed to give a weak grinned before collapsing right next to Sora.

"Yamato!"

"Foolish human," said SkullMeramon, "How pathetic, taking the blow that was supposed to be for the other Digidestine."

Flame Chain

"Don't…" Sora said, looking at the Digimon with tears falling down her eyes that are fill with anger, "Don't you dare call Yamato pathetic, you skull demon!"

Suddenly, a very bright red light starts to surround Biyomon, giving the bird like Digimon more strength than ever before.

Biyomon, Warp-Digivolve too

Garudamon

Wing Blade

The attack completely destroy the chain before it gets to make contact and SkullMeramon looks at the phoenix Digimon, looking even more angry before launching another attack.

Heat Chain Midareuchi

Wing Blade

The many fiery chains are absorbed by the 'Wing Blade' attack that got a direct hit on SkullMeramon. Then, something black came out of the fiery Digimon's back.

"What was that?" asked Kenta.

Joe looks at the black object before it was destroyed thinking 'It looks like…Nah, it can't be…could it?'

"Whatever that was, it doesn't matter." Tagiru said, "What matters now is what's happening to SkullMeramon."

SkullMeramon, who seems to be glowing, is suddenly surrounded by data. The sudden event on the Digimon causes everyone to not notice the liquid metal around them is shattered.

"Hey, what's happening to SkullMeramon?" asked Rika.

"I don't know, but I think we're about to find out soon," said Ryo.

The data surrounding the Digimon disappear, revealing a blue colored Meramon in its place.

"Th…That's a Bluemeramon!" Dorulumon said after realizing what Digimon it is.

BlueMeramon looks at the Digidestined with a confused look on his face before realizing what he had done to them. Everyone listen to how did BlueMeramon turn into SkullMeramon because of the black object which turns out to be a Black Gear.

"I knew that black object was a Black Gear!" said Joe, as he realized that he was right.

"Digidestined," said BlueMeramon,"I'm sorry for what I've done. I didn't mean to do it."

"It's alright," said Mako.

"We know it's not your fault," said Ai.

BlueMeramon then leaves the Digidestined and Iori just realized something.

"Hey, where's Yamato and Sora?"

"Their right behind that tree," Nene said.

"I think we'd better take a break," Joe said, "After all, Yamato and the 9 Digimons needed it."

"Sounds good," agree JP.

"I'll go and check on Yamato and Sora," said Mimi, "Just to make sure their alright."

Mimi walked slowly towards Yamato and Sora, who are both with their partner Digimons in their In-Training forms. Yamato is leaning on the tree with Tsunomon on his lap while Sora, who now wears her crest of Love around her neck, is sitting right next to him with Yokomon sleeping on her lap.

"Yamato," Sora said, "Thanks for saving my life. I'm pretty sure the attack must be very painful for you to handle."

"It's alright," replied Yamato, "I'm just glad that everyone, especially you are safe."

Sora couldn't help blushing about what she's about to do next. "Y…Yamato?"

"Yes?"

Without saying another word, Sora lean closer to Yamato, and kiss him right at the cheek before getting up and walk towards the others, not realizing that Mimi was watching them the whole time. Yamato gently place his hand at where Sora kiss him smiling, before getting up and follow right behind Sora.

Thinking it's best to join the others, Mimi walk out of her hiding place but then,

"I guess the 'Water Breath' didn't just save you and weakened SkullMeramon, but it also makes the 2 of them closer."

Mimi then turns around and found a shadowy figure of a boy around her age, standing on a Seadramon before he disappears deeper into the forest.

Mimi looked at the spot where the unknown boy was standing and wondered, 'Just who was that?'
