Sonic, Shadow, the Chosen Children and the digimon walk off the roads.
"The roads might be different, but the place we end up in is the same." Tailmon smiles.
"I mean, think about it; if they truly are the DigiDestined, they're destined to be together once again. At least that's the way I hope it works out." Tailmon says.
"So what are you guy waiting for. Let go" Sonic said. Sonic, Shadow and the chosen children walk to search the chaos emeralds
"Sonic, Do you still have the Chaos Emeralds" said Shadow
"He stole it from us, I don't know where to find him anyway" said Sonic
"Damn it. If i meet him again i will kill him" grumble Shadow
"A Chaos Emeralds may be in Puppetmon masion or maybe somewhere." said Izzy scan his radar
"Here's a good idea, let's break up into two groups instead of one big one." Sora suggests.
"Sorry, but I really need to do this alone." said Matt.
"Not even the entire world, 3 universe are depending on us and we all have to save it together. We need to find the Chaos Emeralds before he does or he will destroy 3 world and recreate it" said Sonic
"How about it Yamato? Are we still a team?" Taichi asked him with a smile as he held his hand out to the blonde.
He looked down sadly as he was still trying to figure things out.
"What's wrong?" T.K. asks.
"Kid, you okay" Sonic asked Yamato
"Hey, let's put the past behind us." Taichi said setting his hand down.
"I know but you wouldn't understand." Matt says as he turned and walked off.
"Hey, I say that you and I should let bygones be bygones." Tai calls.
"Oh. Well, I believe in you and I'm not gonna stand in your way." Sora smiles.
"You just better come back okay or else you'll be in big trouble." said Sonic. Yamato nodded
"What am I supposed to do without you Matt?" T.K. asked.
"You're a big kid now. You can take care of yourself, T.K.." Matt assures T.K.
"Yeah, but…" said T.K. sadly.
"Don't worry; we'll be here for you. Besides, you know how big brothers are. They need their own space. Everything will be fine." said Sora making him smile and nod as she set her hands on his shoulders.
"Well, see ya. Good bye everyone." said Matt .
He then turned and walked off into the forest.
Mimi and Palmon stopped behind them, the girl frowning.
"Hmm, Mimi?" Sora asks as they all turned to her.
"What wrong ?" asked Sora
"Uh nothing, i just thinking" said Mimi
"Do you still come with us" asked Sonic
"Yeah" said Mimi followed everyone
"Gee, now we're all gonna be split up with Matt ." Patamon whines.
"Just when we were finally all together." Biyomon says.
"You may think we're separated, but we're really not." said Tailmon making the Digimon look at her.
"The roads might be different, but the place we end up in is the same." Gatomon smiles.
They all then turned and walked off, waving to Matt as he left them.
"I mean, think about it; if they truly are the DigiDestined, they're destined to be together once again. At least that's the way I hope it works out." said Tailmon.
"I hope so" said Taichi
"Okay guys at least we must work together like a team to defeat those Dark Master and find the Chaos Emeralds" Sonic said as they are nodded except Shadow
"I rather to be alone than go with the kids" said Shadow
"No way we need they help. We can't do that alone" said Sonic
"No*
"Come on Shadow. Come with us" said Sora
"Well, Let's head over to Puppetmon's mansion instead maybe a chaos emeralds somewhere in his masion, Shadow." said T.K. with Patamon in his arms.
"We'll show you guys exactly where it is." said Patamon
"I suppose it's inevitable. He's one of the Dark Masters and we'll have to fight him sooner or later." said Izzy.
"Yeah, it's time somebody cut his strings instead of waiting around here. Let's take the fight to him for a change. If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid that three our worlds will be destroyed ." said Tailmon.
"You better listen to them, Shadow" Sonic said
"Grrr...Fine but get out of my way" Moaned Shadow
"Let's do it, Onii Chan." said Hikari tugging at her brother's shorts and he crossed his arms in thought.
"What a second you guys. Let's think this over. Puppetmon is a Mega Digimon and we won't be able to defeat him that easily." said Sora .
"Oh, in that case let's give up and go watch cartoons." T.K. snips.
"Let's fight." Patamon says eagerly.
"Wow Patamon you look like Shadow" said Sonic surprised
"Plus Sora we have WarGreymon. That's Mega Digimon which means we stand a chance at least. Beside we have Sonic and Shadow they both strong enough to defeat him" Taichi.
"Taichi has a point but the only fair thing to do is to take a vote. All those in favor of going to Puppetmon's mansion, raise your hand and say 'aye'." said Izzy .
"Aye!" Dracomon, Gatomon, Izzy, Kari, Koromon, Jou, Patamon,Mimi ,Palmon , Gomamon, Tentomon, T.K, said as they raised their hands or in Koromon's case ears.
"Looks like the ayes take it." said Sonic.
"Taichi you didn't vote." said Sora .
Taichi was just standing there with his arms crossed in deep thought.
'I wonder how Matt would vote. Knowing him he'd probably go the safe route.'Taichi thought.
"So Taichi what do you think?" asked Joe. .
'And what about T.K.? With Matt not here it's my job to make sure nothing happens to him but then again Joe is here and he'll look after T. Izzy is his best friend so he'll help out too.'Tai thought glancing from T.K. to Joe then Mimi and finally Izzy.
"What should we do, Onii chan" asked Hikari.
"Well, uh…" Taichi stutters.
"We're waiting for an answer." said Tentomon .
"Seriously you're usually an act first think later kind of guy." said Sonic
'After all we've been through he can't really be thinking about going.' Sora thought as she looks over her best friend in worry.
"Alright, we're going, but just to look around. But we don't necessarily have to start any trouble." said Taichi as he walks over to the group.
"But at first we need a tactic to defeat Puppetmon" said Sonic
"Right!" Everyone who agreed said except Shadow silent but argee to follow them
"Okay, follow me, it's this way." said T.K. as he ran with everyone but Sora.
"Sora?" asked Taichi as he turns to her.
"I'll go along with your decision, but I'm still not sure it's safe." Sora says.
"I know its dangerous Sora and we're not looking for trouble, but if anything happens, Sonic, Shadow, Koromon, and I will hold off Puppetmon while you take the others and escape. I won't let anything happen to you."vsaid Taichi .
"You mean it?" asked Sora making her blush.
"Of course I do." said Tai blushing too.
"Okay then." Sora says and they both ran off to catch up with the others.
"What waiting so long, you two." said Sonic
"Sorry Sonic" said Taichi
They just arrived at Puppetmon's mansion and were a safe distance way with Taichi looking through his telescope to take a look at it.
"So that's Puppetmon's mansion, huh? There are two guards! See who they are." said Taichi as he handed his Digivice over to Izzy who had his laptop opened.
The redhead took it and placed the Digivice into the slot to check out the Digimon.
"Analyzing. One of them is Floramon. She's a plant type Digimon who digivolves like a reptile. Her main attack is Rain of Pollen." Izzy says. "And the other guard is…Deramon. At first glance it looks like a bird type Digimon, but it's actually got a plant growing out of its back. Prodigious." He says.
"So they're not Ultimate Digimon, right?" asked Taichi.
"Right." said Izzy handing the Digivice back to the Child of Courage.
"Actually Izzy I rechecked and it turns out Deramon is an Ultimate Digimon just not a very strong one." said Joe to Izzy reading the data his Digivice's Digimon Analyzer.
"None the less we should be careful. They could be quite dangerous. Shall we go?" Tentomon asks as he flew off.
"Wait!" Tai calls to him.
"Hmm?" Tentomon asks as he stopped near Hikari and T.K.
"There might be more guards inside. I'll go inside with Sonic and Shadow and make sure the coast is clear. You guys wait here until we get back." said Taichi.
"You better watch out for the guards attack suddenly" said Sonic. Taichi nodded
"But I think Patamon and I should go with you three. After all, we're the only ones who know where everything is in there." T.K. says.
"Right." Patamon chirped.
"Sorry kid it might be dangerous." Sonic.
"Come on Sonic; don't treat me like a little kid." T.K. says.
"But you are a kid, T.K." said Taichi.
"Don't be idiot kid, T.K." said Shadow
"What if we go together as a team?" Hikari asks.
"I agree with Hikari. There's nothing to be afraid of if we all go together." said Izzy as he raises his hand.
"What do we do, Taichi? You decide." said Koromon.
"All right everyone, we're going. Follow me." said Taichi getting his spunk back.
"What are waiting for. Let go" said Sonic.
"Koromon digivolve to…Agumon!"
"Super Shocker!" Tentomon shouts firing his attack at Floramon.
"I'll get him. Pepper Breath!" Agumon sends a fireball at Deramon burning him a bit.
"If you wanted fried chicken, you could've asked." said Deramon frowning at Agumon.
"Sorry, we thought you guys were out here protecting Puppetmon's mansion." Agumon says.
"Oh, so you barbeque me?" Deramon snips as Floramon stepped up beside him.
"We're not here protecting anything." said Floramon .
"Sorry, it was the guys' fault." said Palmon jabbing a finger in Tentomon and Agumon's direction.
"Then what are you guys doing?" asked Somic running up to Deramon.
"We were supposed to be Puppetmon's playmates. You know someone to attack when he gets bored. Let me fill you in on a little secret. Puppetmon is an obnoxious jerk and none of us around this place can stand him." Deramon says with his hands cupped over his beak as T.K. had his hand by his ear like they were sharing a secret with each other.
"Oh yeah, now I remember. Puppetmon doesn't have any friends even though he thinks he does." said T.K..
"That's right." said Patamon.
"Wow, what could be worse than life without a single friend?" asked Hikari.
"A little box lined with fly paper." Sonic jokes making Kari, Mimi and Palmon laugh.
"Ha! So is Puppetmon inside the house right now?" asked Taichi. Shadow tries to sense the chaos emeralds energy
"I think he's out being fumigated for said termites." Deramon.
"I wonder if he's taken apart piece by piece." said Mimi.
"So what should we do, Taichi?" Agumon asks.
"Now's a good chance to take a look inside of the mansion." said Taichi.
"Deramon, will you show us around?" T.K. asks.
"Sure, I used to be a tour guide at Digimon Studios." Deramon says as he and Floramon then turned and starts to lead the DigiDestined in before they stopped and turned back to them. "Oh, no video cameras, flash photography, food or drink are allowed during the tour." He says.
"Great, let's go!" Everyone says.
"The structure was built before the digital revolution." Deramon says as we all followed him off into the mansion.
"Sonic. Can you feel that ?" asked Shadow feel something bad come to the masion
"What,i can't feel anything" said Sonic
"Never mind let keep going" said Shadow as two hedgehog s run catch up with the other
Back at Puppetmon's mansion. Floramon and Deramon pushed the door open to show a large staircase in front of the DigiDestined and two hedgehogs with a big blue present with a red bow on it. Out of it popped what looked like an army robot that shot at them making them split up and run so they didn't get hit, Sonic, Shadow, Taichi, Sora, Hikari, Mimi, Biyomon, Gatomon, Palmon, l and Deramon going one way with T.K., Izzy, Joe, Patamon, Tentomon, Agumon, Gomamon, and Floramon going the other way.
"What was that?!" asked Taichi.
"It's a Jack-in-the-box with a serious attitude." aaid Deramon .
"You wouldn't happen to be leading us into some sort of trap would you Deramon?" asked Shadow angrily.
"Yeah" agree Taichi
"Why of course not. I would never try anything as deceitful as Puppetmon. Cross my wings and hope to fly, honest." Deramon says bowing.
"I believe him Onii Chan. How about you?" Hikari asks her brother.
"Hmm." Taichi says crossing his arms as he thinks.
Meanwhile T.K and his group came up upon a fire truck that was in the middle of the hallway.
"It's a toy." Patamon says as he,Agumon and Gomamon gathered around it.
"Oh no! Make sure you don't touch it!" Floramon warns but it was too late since Patamon placed his paw on it and the red light on the truck lit up.
"Uh oh." said Patamon .
"What's happening?" asked Agumon.
"Watch out, get down!" yelled Floramon as she grabbed it and threw the truck out of the window.
They all dove to the floor as the truck blew up, smoke coming in from the window.
"It was a heat activated bomb." said Izzy .
"That stupid piece of drift wood has a brain for danger." said Gomamon.
"He's completely insane." said Joe brushing the dirt off his shoulders.
"That's why I said don't touch anything." Floramon says sternly.
Patamon was on Agumon's head, both ducking their heads down.
"Sorry." They say.
Meanwhile Puppetmon was making his way to his mansion.
"Hmm, who should I play with next?" Puppetmon asks himself.
"Puppetmon's coming back. Are you ready?" Sonic asks as he, Shadow, Agumon, Taichi, Gomamon, and Izzy had a cannon pointing out of the window that Tai had looked out of with his telescope to spot the Master of Wood.
"It would help if I had some idea of how it worked." said Izzy.
"You do it." said Agumon turning to Floramon and Deramon.
"What?! That's against every principle I stand for." said Deramon .
"Yeah, but think of it this way; ya get to teach that jerk a lesson he deserves." said Gomamon
"Alright everyone get ready. This will be a long fight" said Sonic as everyone nodded
Deramon seemed to be thinking this over before he nodded.
"All right, what the heck? I'll do it. But don't tell Puppetmon, it'll be our secret." said Deramon as he held a feather up to his beak and made a shushing sound.
"Yeah, yeah." Tai smirks.
"We know." aaid Agumon.
Floramon and Deramon then both pushed the cannon over to the window.
"I've got him in my sights." said Deramon "Ready, aim…fire!" He yells.
The cannon balls started to blast at Puppetmon making him turn and run off screaming in the other direction.
"Huh? What? Who's shooting at me?" asked Puppetmon as he ducks behind a tree root. "I know who it is. It's the DigiDestined and the two powerful hedgehogs. Hey that's not fair. You're using my toys!" He yells as he charges towards the mansion.
Meanwhile at Puppetmon's mansion Floramon and Deramon were still firing the cannon at Puppetmon to try and keep him away from the mansion.
"Take that!" Deramon cries as Floramon kept loading the canon so that they could fire Puppetmon who as racing to his house. "Here he comes." He says.
"Oh no!" Floramon gasps.
"He's mad." Deramon comments.
"Well, we are shooting at him." said Floramon .
"I bet they don't invite Puppetmon to their birthday parties." said Taichi
"I think it's a good thing they're finally releasing their hostility." said Sora .
"Get out now!" Puppetmon yells.
Floramon and Deramon looked out the window and then screamed before they ducked back in and started running.
"You guys know you're not allowed upstairs! My room is off limits! Take care of my toys!" Puppetmon rants.
Gatomon went over to the canon and hopped up onto it, looking down at Puppetmon with a grin.
"I'd say that you need to learn a little more about good manners. We're not hurting anything except maybe you." said Gatomon .
A second later the DigiDestined burst out the front door after Tai and Agumon kicked it open.
"We've had it with you, Puppetmon. You're toast." said Sonic.
"Oh, now you wanna play, huh? How about a game of follow the leader?" asked Puppetmon as he turned and ran.
"Come back here ya puny toothpick! You play with us and you're gonna lose." taunted Sonic as they all chased after him.
Before we could catch up to him, these red plant Digimon sprouted from the ground laughing in a very annoying way.
"Huh? It's a trick." Agumon says.
"Not our best move." aaid Tailmkn as they were all surrounded by the vegetable Digimon.
"Well put, punk. See, T.K.? I have friends after all. Problem is, they don't like you." Puppetmon laughs.
T.K. and Patamon both glared at Puppetmon who was on the ground holding his stomach as he laughs.
"And what they don't like they destroy." said Puppetmon .
"Yeah, boss!" The veggie heads says.
"RedVeggiemon have extremely violet tempers. That's why their faces are always red. Not exactly the friendly type." Izzy explained after looking the Digimon up on his analyzer.
"That's funny what you said Puppetmon because the same goes for me." said Sonic standing in front of Hikari.
"It's time to do some weed whacking." Taichi says also holding up his Digivice.
"Alright let fight" said Sonic
Biyomon, Lunamon, Patamon, and Tentomon all digivolved.
"Electro Shocker!" Kabuterimon fires his attack at the RedVeggiemon taking a lot out.
"Meteor Wing!" Birdramon sends large fireballs at the RedVeggiemon.
"Tear Arrow!" Lekismon drew several ice arrows from her back and fires them at the RedVeggiemon.
"Hand of Fate!" Angemon punches forward sending an energy attack at the RedVeggiemon.
"Lightning Paw!" Gatomon punches the remaining RedVeggiemon out with her fist.
"You guys are about as useful as a load of stinky rotting vegetables. I've had it with you." Puppetmon rants.
Sonic twirl kick RedVeggiemon bounches him with Shadow many times. "Chaos Spear" fire the spear finished him
"Now Puppetmon it your turn now" said Sonic
"Try and stop us now." said Taichi holding out his Digivice as a pillar of orange aura shots from him.
"Agumon warp-digivolve to…WarGreymon!"
"Mega Claw!" WarGreymon attack Puppetmon
"Puppet Pummel!" Puppetmon swings his staff and meets both attacks creating a medium sized explosion causing all three to jump away.
"Think you're so smart? Nobody toys with me." Puppetmon says as he used his strings to trap WarGreymon.
"He's got us strung up." WarGreymon groans as he and Examon tried to break free of the strings, but Puppetmon turned them towards the DigiDestined.
"The enemy's that way." Puppetmon says while WarGreymon tripped flew over him.
"WarGreymon!" Tai gasps.
"Don't come too close. I don't know what he'll make me do." WarGreymon warned as he was then lifted into the air.
He was then thrown down to try and attack Tai and Sora, but they ran away so he only stabbed the ground with his claws.
"Hey don't forget someone behind you" said Shadow
"What" said Puppetmon. Shadow hit him many times kicked him away. Sonic spin attack him in the back.
"Hikari digivole Tailmon now" yelled Sonic as he kicked Puppetmon away. "Puppet pummel"
"Sonic wave"
Each attack hit each other caused big explosion. Shadow punched Puppetmon from behind
"Hikari!" Tailmon shouts.
Hikari was then surrounded by pink aura as her Digivice turns pink and her Crest of Light symbol shoots out of her tag.
"Gatomon digivolve to…Angewomon!"
"Got cha." Angewomon says as she swooped down and scooped Hikari into her arms as Wargreymon struggled to free himself. Sonic pound Puppetmon to the ground. Shadow kicked him to the rock
"Damn it they are strong" said Puppetmon angrily
The DigiDestined all started running, Puppetmon making WarGreymon chase after them and he was gaining on Sora and Izzy pretty fast and was gaining on Joe and Mimi.
"Keep running kids. I don't want to catch you." said WarGreymon slas their crests start glowing.
Izzy was then surrounded by purple aura as his Digivice turns purple and his Crest of Knowledge shoots out of his tag.
"Kabuterimon digivolve to…MegaKabuterimon!"
Sora was then surrounded by red aura as her Digivice turns red and her Crest of Love symbol shoots out of her tag.
"Birdramon digivolve to…Garudamon!"
"Joe, Mimi look out!" Sonic shouts about to thrust Ambrosius on them.
Joe was then surrounded by silver aura as her Digivice turns rose and her Crest of reliability symbol shoots out of his tag.
"Gomamon digivole to...Zudomon!" Zudomon moves fast and uses his hammer to block both Examon lance and WarGreymon's claws.
"Horn Bluster!" MegaKabuterimon fired his attack and hits Puppetmon causing his staff to go flying only for Garudamon to crush it in her talons. Sonic spin attack Puppetmon. "Chaos Control" yelled Shadow. he disappeared throw many huts at Puppetmon
Puppetmon was shaking in fear as he realized he was outnumbered by Shadow attack and the Champion, Ultimate, and Mega Digimon. Zudomon stood between Angewomon and Angemon while WarGreymon were on the other side, then Garudamon and MegaKabuterimon covered the last two sides to box him in.
"I'm-I'm-I'm not afraid of you. I'll get you." said Puppetmon trying to put up a brave front. "If I were you, I'd reconsider." Taichi says as he stepped up.
Sonic axe kicked Puppetmon. Shadow threw the spear cause an explosion.
[Flashback]
"Wait a minute, we gotta be careful! The DigiDestined are strong – stronger than I suspected, and to underestimate them could be disastrous!" Cherrymon shouts.
"What?! Spit it out already! Are you saying that I might lose?" Puppetmon asks.
"I'm only saying that I think you should take them seriously. There's something about them." Cherrymon says.
[End Flashback]
'What does he mean by that? I've got more powers then they ever will.' Puppetmon thinks in his head trying to figure out what Cherrymon meant. "Fools, I'm never gonna lose to you! Watch!" He says.
White lights flashed from his eyes as a colorful house rose up from the ground and grew out some arms and legs.
"I know something you don't." Puppetmon snags as he ran away.
Everyone cried out as the house monster yells at the DigiDestined, Sonic and Shadow and then lifted his foot up to step on them. Meanwhile with the other DigiDestined, the house Puppetmon brought to life was about to slam its foot on them.
"Don't worry I've got it covered, get moving." WarGreymon says holding the wooden foot.
"Ah!" Hikari screams as one of the house's wooden hands tried to grab her but Angewomon stopped it.
"Hikari come on." Taichi says with his hand reached out to his sister.
The house manages to free itself from WarGreymon and Angewomon's grip thanks to Puppetmon's interference.
"Wing Blade!" Garudamon fired her attack but it did nothing.
"It just fizzled out." Sora gasped when her Ultimate Digimon's attack didn't work.
"MegaKabuterimon!" Izzy cries when his partner was hit back.
"T.K., hurry, run!" Angemon cries as he stood in front of the Child of Hope.
"OK, good luck." said T.K. .
"Haha I'm out of here. Happy house wrecking if you can." Puppetmon says running away.
"Take me too." A RedVeggiemon says.
"Are you joking? Do I look like I want your company? Take this, Puppet Pummel!" Puppetmon attacked the RedVeggiemon with his wooden cross puppet controller causing the tree of fall as well.
"Out on my way" yelled Shadow with red aura around him
"Everyone watch out" yelled Sonic. The digimon protect the Digidestined. "Chaos Blast" the red explosion cause the house destroyed set everyone are free.
"Chase after him" ordered Somic
Sonic and Shadow chased Puppetmon
"Damn it how are they escape"said Puppetmon
Just then in the shadows a pair of glowing yellow eyes is seen which is revealed to be MetalGarurumon.
"Who's that behind me?" Puppetmon asks as he turns around to see MetalGarurumon. "Well it's about time. Get them! Do some major damage and I want no foul ups." He says to MetalGarurumon who just stands there staring at him. "Huh? What's with you? Daydreaming again, huh." He says attaching his strings to MetalGarurumon. "Now MetalGarurumon sock it to 'em. Hey this isn't working here. Remember you're supposed to obey me. I'm the boss." He says.
"Think again. You're washed up Puppetmon. Nobodies gonna be on your side because you don't care about them." Matt says to Puppetmon.
"I'm still strong and it doesn't matter what they think. They're still gonna do what I tell them to do." Puppetmon says as he charges at MetalGarurumon.
"Metal Wolf Claw!" MetalGarurumon spews cold air at absolute zero at Puppetmon completely freezing him.
"Cherrymon what is it that those kids have that I don't?" Puppetmon asks as his gears stop moving. Sonic and Shadow charge their attack to Puppetmon
"NOOOOOOOOOO" yelled Puppetmon
"Chaos Spear"
"Sonic wave"
They throw each other into a freezing Puppetmon finished him
Matt looks at everyone but then walks off with MetalGarurumon. A second later the ground starts shaking and raising.
"Now that Puppetmon's been defeated, the forest is disappearing." Izzy explains.
"Run! We've gotta get out of here and fins a safe place!" Taichi yells and they all run away.
"Everyone grab my hand" yelled Sonic as the Digidestined and their digimon grab their hand each other, Taichi and Sora grab Sonic hand.
"Haaggghh" yelled Sonic as he break the sound barrier perform Sonic Boost cause everyone scream except Hikari. Shadpw also do Boost escape the forest go to the desert. He stopped release everyone e
"Oh god i have a headache right now" said Taichi as he shake his head
"He never go that fast before" said Sora.
"It fun" said Hikari excited
"Well it look like the Chaos Emeralds not in Puppetmon masion" said Sonic
"So the Chaos Emeralds not in the masion" said Shadow
"You think about it, it not easy to find a Chaos Emeralds without our Chaos Emeralds that Mecha Sonic stole it. Although I don't have a Chaos Emeralds, that don't mean I give up easily, we can still find it across the desert. So who gonna with me go through the desert rise your hand up" said Sonic point to the desert
"Aye" Everyone are rising their hand except Shadow, He sighed annoyed before he rise his hand up
"Alright Let go" Sonic said
Everyone walk across the desert to search the chaos emeralds
To be continues.
