I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the story, the feedback was very appreciated. I'd also like to know what people would like to see in the rest of the story. I have a rough idea planned out but I'd like to hear what others would like to see. Also , I'd like to know would people be interested in a sequal to this once it was finished? For some fun, in the review leave a question about Will or any of the other characters you'd like to ask. One that's been bugging you since the start or if you're just plain curious. I'll answer what I feel is the most interesting question. In any case, enjoy the chapter , read and review.


The first team stood on a small sand dune near where they would be attacking. It was huge. Made of hard yellow stone. It seemed to go on forever , both in height and the amount of space it occupied. Several walls outside the main building added to the main part of the building was a large tower. The plan was to get in and get out. That's simple. Everything else inbetween was complicated.

"That thing must have hundreds of Digimon in there!" Elegon exclaimed. Niehter Will or Tai wanted to admit he was probably right.

"It's mainly Knightmon among a few others. Our main worry are the automated defenses." Tai wished this was going to be walls were littered small black barrels. Will groaned.

"Fine. Let's get on with it. Sooner we begin, sooner we finish." Will held up his Digivice as it began to change to a dark red colour. Lightmon slowly began to change into the pale blue knight, Warrior Strikemon.

"It's going to be a hell of a show!" Elegon watched as his Digimon partner began to change to it's mega form. A female Digimon about the height of Warrior Strikemon, covered in excellent silver armour from head to toe. Her helmet bore two scars above the eyes. Held with expert skill in one hand was a black bow. Celemon.

"Ready Agumon?" Tai looked to his partner as he nodded. Tai had stayed up all night to practise the skill Will showed him. Now it was time to put it to the test. They stood waiting silently. A small orange glow was emitted from Tai's chest. Agumon was covered in a golden light, growing in size and shape.

"You can do this. Just focus." Will offered the only encouragement he felt Tai would need. The golden shape began to form together quickly before bursting into millions of tiny golden specks. From the specks, stood Wargreymon. The large heavily armour dragon warrior was a sight for sore eyes. Tai grinned.

"Now, let's go!" Wargreymon shot forward at a blistering speed, crossing the desert in no time at all. The small black barrels took aim and fired at a rapid speed. A storm of small yellow projectiles rained down on Wargreymon's posistion. Every single shot missed , either hitting the sand where he was or skimming him. He was simply too fast. Shooting upwards into the sky he loomed over the outer walls. Quickly, he formed a huge ball of firey energy and threw it at the defenses. Tai and the small group watched as the fire ball erutped into a huge pillar of destructive power as it collided with the defenses. The pillar of fire reached high into the sky. When the smoke and dust finally cleared, there was nothing left but the main building and the back walls. The blast had been so powerful some of the sand had actually turned to glass. As Wargreymon landed , any grass under his weight cracked and shattered. Several Knightmon who survived the explosion drew their weapons and ran for Wargreymon. He blocked the first attack with one armoured hand before using the other to pierce the Knightmon's armour before spinning round to strike at another.

"We're up." Tai was completely on top of the situation. Warrior Strikemon picked up Tai and Will under each arm and took off, almost at the same speed that Wargeymon had. Celemon carried Elegon , choosing to travel at a slower speed. Will and Tai glanced at the top of the tower. Two figures dropped and rushed Wargreymon.

Wargreymon began to dodge strikes from a huge axe and a scythe. Wargeymon leapt back to create some distance between him and the attackers. One looked like a horrible mutation of Farkenstien , weilding a large axe. Boltmon. The other was just as large , covered in gold and silver armour. One arm was a scythe, the other was a claw with a cannon coming out of his wrist. Reapermon. Both rushed Wargeymon at the same time. Boltmon reached him first, bringing the massive axe down. Wargreymon raised both armoured arms to block it. Reapermon wasn't behind and about to swing from the side with scythe. Wargreymon closed his eyes waiting for the blow. All he heard was metal clashing with metal. As he opened his eyes he saw the pale blue knight blocking the attack with his own sword.

"Have to leave some for me you know." Warrior Strikemon joked. Tai and Will ran past, headed for the main building. Warrior Strikemon forced the attack back and launched himself at the Reapermon. Wargeymon did the same. The sound of metal on metal echoed throughout the area. A Knightmon closed in on Tai and Will, the pair barely dodging the massive sword. As they looked back, they saw the armoured knight Digimon fall to the floor, an arrow piercing it's chest.

"Strikemon! You take care of those two. I got this guy." Warrior Strikemon nodded and broke off the attack to catch up to Tai and Will. The Reapermon was about to give chase, only to have several white arrows shot at his feet.

"Your oponent is me." Celemon readied her bow with another arrow, aimed at the Reapermon.


"Why don't we just go right now!" Davis watched on impatiently. He watched as the four mega level Digimon duelled with each other. He knew that if they helped with another mega they'd surely win. Ken observed everything calmly.

"We need to trust them. Wait for the signal. They're a lot stronger than they let on you know." Davis looked at him.

"How could you know that? You been spying on them or something?" Davis shot a supscious look at him.

"If you look at how they're fighting, they're not going all out. They're holding back, trying to buy Tai and Will some time inside that building." Ken said in a matter of fact way. T.K approached them.

"I've seen Wargreymon fighting at full strength. All I'll say is I'm glad he's on our side." T.k's memory returned to the scenes of many battles.

"So they just expect us to wait!" Davis complained angrily.

"Trust them Davis." Ken glanced at Davis, incased he needed to tackle him if he ran off.

"Who is this Will guy anyway? He just walks in and assumes control over us as if he's better than us!" Davis clenched his fists. If someone should be leading the battle, it should be him.

"He didn't assume control. He came because Tai asked him too. Will only helped develop the plans for this fight." T.K stated simply. He knew to trust Tai.

"Fine!" Davis folded his arms impatiently.

"I wouldn't underestimate Will if I were you." The trio turned to see Sora.

"He's a very exprienced Digidestined. Probably more exprienced than any of us. His Digimon partner is something else, but he's on our side. We can trust him." She smiled, thinking back to when he had rescued her.

"Yeah well I still don't trust him." Davis was only angry because he couldn't help yet. Silence fell on the group as an ear splitting explosion erupted from the sight of the battle.


Wargreymon watched as Boltmon erupted into billions of pieces of data in the air below him. The battle was shorter than he expected. His eyes glanced at Celemon, drawing out the battle with the Reapermon. There were still some Knightmon trying to surround the two. Wargreymon descended, landing between the Knightmon and Celemon. The group of Knightmon froze for a moment, before running at Wargeymon. Wargreymon crouched before leaping through the mass of knights, aiming a few precise blow before landing. Data fell behind him. Standing up straight, he advanced on the remaining Knightmon.

Dancing backwards, Celemon avoiding another strike from Reapermon. Not one blow had landed on her. Charging forward once more, Celemon shot a carefully aimed arrow into Reapermon whilst avoiding the attack. She coounted at least seven arrows in him. He aimed the small cannon at her and fired. She was getting bored of this and ran in, avoiding the shot. She came face to face with the Reapermon. For just a second, just a split second, she saw fear in the Reapermon's eyes. She kicked off of him, shooting high into the air. Reapermon barely kept up with the movement. His armour was cracked. His stance was poor. His scythe had nearly been broken in this fight. He was out matched. Celemon aimed her eigth and final arrow at him from above. Right between his eyes.

"Meteor bow." It would be the last thing Reapermon would ever hear. The sand erupted from the impact of the arrow. Landing gracefully, she looked back, watching the tiny specs of data floating away in the wind.


Once they had made it inside the building, Elegon was to gaurd the entrance, making sure no one got in after them. Tai and Will ran through the corridors of the building, Warrior Strikemon keeping a safe distance infront of them. If Will had never gotten used to running, Tai would have left him in the dust. Inside the main building, it was all dark yellow stone. Dimly lit everywhere you turned. Small crampt corridors. High raised ceilings. Fortress or not, this building wasn't even suitible for anything. They kept getting higher and higher up the building. Passing empty cells and empty rooms. There was no sign of anything or anyone. Guards,prisioners, nothing was inside the building.

"Isn't it a little odd there's nothing in these cells?" Tai glanced back at Will.

"Yeah it's weird. Maybe they took them for a picnic?" Will worried for a second that Tai had lost it and then grinned.

"In any case I bet if we get to the top of the building, we'll find something." Tai nodded.

"Then let's go find it!" Tai sped up. Will groaned, forcing himself to keep up with Tai. They soon reached the final stair case that led to the roof of the building. As they stepped foot onto the roof, sun light blinded them for a few seconds.

"You took your time." A voice rang out from across them, laughing followed.

"Mark." Will glared at him. He glanced at Tai.

"It was a trap. We need to leave. Now." Tai didn't understand why they needed to leave, it was only one other Digidestined. Surely they were more than a match for him. Then he realised. This was Will's fight.

"Why're you helping David?" Warrior Strikemon landed beside him. Tai had pulled out his small D-terminal and had e-mailed the others. The second half of the plan was to get to the nearest Digital port. Unfortunatly, it happened to be quite far, so they had decided to travel on Imperialdramon. The huge dragon Digimon,made from Ken and Davis' partners DNA Digivolving, could transport them easily. They just had to last till they got here.

"I thought you'd have figured that out by now." Mark laughed once more. Clean short black hair. He was as tanned as Tai normally was. He wore a simple blue t-shirt. Mark reached into his brown trousers and pulled out his Digivice.

"It's simple! I don't like you! You took the glory as the Guardian Digidestined! That right should have been mine!" He clamed himself for a moment.

"David was right. We need to take charge of this place. To do that, I need the data you're carrying!" Will cringed. He knew what was coming. If Mark wanted this data he was going to go all out.

"Herculeskabuterimon!" A gold flash shot up from behind the side of the building where Mark was standing. A huge, bug like Digimon with giant pincers and claws hovered above them. It was covered in gold armour, it was a considerable force and almost the same size as the building. As it hovered in the air, it shot a dark yellow beam, that zig zagged towards them. Everything froze for just a second. Warrior Strikemon seemed to tbe the only one who could. He leapt straight into the attack, pulling a shield from under his cape. As he raised his only defense, the dark yellow beam was deflected, flying off some where into the distance. The force of it had pushed Warrior Strikemon back a small distance. He was stronger than he remembered. The second the attack stopped, Warrior Strikemon threw the sheild , drew his sword and leapt at the huge Digimon. His opponent was stronger than he had been in the past. Warrior Strikemon smiled, but his power was tenfold what it had been.

"Lightning ride!" His entire body was covered in a bright yellow aura as he connected with the giant Digimon, forcing him back. The giant Digimon blocked with a massive claw. Warrior Strikemon got a foot hold and leapt up before slamming back into the massive Digimon again. This time the pair fell from the sky, crashing into the ground below. Mark smiled.

"What are you and David planning!" Will asked angrily. This wasn't right. A team didn't turn on each other.

"Tsk tsk tsk. You don't ruin a good surprise!" Mark waved his finger. He was goading them.

"Your Digimon looks like an oversized butterfly!" Tai interjected.

"How tactful. Insults are really going to win this battle aren't they?" Mark folded his arms and smiled. A crash came from below. The whole building rocked. Those two Digimon were going to destroy this entire building. Parts of the roof collapsed , leaving giant holes around the three. Will glanced down to see Warrior Lightmon holding back a massive claw with just his sword. He was struggling under the attack, his knees buckled and he fell to the floor. His sword was still raised. He was tougher than that.

"What do you want the data for?" Will growled angrily.

"Ah that would be telling. What do you want it for?" Will shot a confussed glance. Mark knew why he was collecting the data. To seal it away.

"I wouldn't trust that Gennai if I were you." He winked at Will.

"All those secrets and what not can do strange things to a persons mind!" He pulled a strange gesture as if to emphaise the point. Will always knew Gennai held information back from but he didn't care. He just wanted to get the job done.

"Our rides here! Let's go!" Tai called to Will. He had never noticed the massive armoured dragon Digimon land next to the building. As Tai and Will ran to jump onto it's back, Will glanced back. Whatever Mark and David were up to , it was bad. As they landed on the Digimon's back, Will noticed they were the last to be picked up.

"Warrior Strikemon! Come on!" Will called to his partner. He saw the knight Digimon strike the giant Digimon with an attack knocking it back, leaving enough room for him to shoot out of there. Warrior Strikemon landed next to Will.

"He's stronger now. Faster." Warrior Strikemon looked down at his right arm, the armour was cracked and chipped.

"He's the first to even dent this armour since Ravemon." Warrior Strikemon growled in annoyance. Imperialdramon had already taken off, heading for the Digital port.

"You guys okay?" Sora asked , indicating Will and Tai..

"Yeah we're fine. My clothes are ruined though." Tai remarked,trying to lighten the mood. Will said nothing. Sora noticed the pained expression on Will's face and was about to go to him.

"What's wrong Will? Don't want to play anymore!" Everyone looked at the side of Imperaildramon. Mark was on the back of Herculeskabuterimon, keeping up with them.

"How close are we to the Digital port?" Ken was trying to fromulate a plan in his mind.

"Not far, but he could be trouble. It's just there, bottom of the hill." Imperialdramon spoke in that weird duel voice, pointing out the hill they were just about to pass.

"Don't you want to know what we did to Lianne and her friend with the Gallantmon?" Mark's voice reached them again.

"Get to the port. I'll be right behind you." Will's voice was low, dangerous.

"You can't seriously -" T.k Was about to try to talk him out of it.

"We'll handle him. Warrior Strikemon! Let's finish this!" With that, both Will and Warrior Strikeon leapt off the Dragon Digimon. Warrior Strikemon moved faster than any of them had seen before. In mere seconds he had knocked Herculeskaburterimon out of the sky and caught Will. The group disappeared into the tree line.


"He can handle it. He'll be fine." Tai tried to reassure everyone. No one said anything. It only took them a few seconds to reach the port. The area was filled with a golden light as the Digimon changed back to their smaller rookie forms.

"Go." Tai ordered. The others went through without waiting. Tai looked back , as two different types of yellow slammed into each other above the trees. The force of the impact reached even him. He turned to the Digiport and entered it.

As Tai emerged from the Digital port into the modern apartment, he crashed into Davis.

"Sorry about that." He said with a smirk.

"Welcome back." Kairi greeted them. Tai's little sister looked at the rag tag group.

What happened to you? You look like you were caught in a storm." Tai looked at them. She was right, they did look worse for wear.

"Where's Will?" Sora interjected. Tai straightened himself up and shook his head.

"Still fighting." At least, that was his guess. There was a terrible feeling in the pit of his stomach telling him something had happened. Sora could feel it too. Silence filled the room. They waited.

Something was wrong. They could all feel it.

"I'm going back." Sora began to walk to the computer but Tai blocked her way.

"He'll be fine. He can handle himself." Tai tried to reassure her but it obviously didn't work. He was worried too.

"He's the one who helped me Tai! I can't just let him face that thing on his own!"

The screen suddenly erupted with light. The computer itself burnt out, sparks flying out from the broken machine as something shot across the room. It colided with the table, turning it into kindling before slamming into the wall at the far end of the room. There were two audible cracks. No one moved as a small Digimon landed on the floor by the wall. A Tsnusmon. A small round Digimon with a horn in it's head.

"Told you'd I'd take care of him." The voice was strained, clearly in pain. They all looked for where the voice came from. There slumped against the wall, lay Will. Bloodied and bruised. Whisps of smoke slowly left his body. His clothes were torn and cut. Blood streamed down several parts of his body. His eyes were distant. He saw the group for just a second before falling into unconsiousness. The last thing he heard was Sora call out his name.
