Upon seeing what the darkness had done to Davis, all against him were left in shock.

"Did... did he just turn into a monster?" Suzie asked with a panic stricken voice as she looked at the dark creature Davis had turned into.

"It... it looks like it..." MegaGargomon said in reply, shocked and scared at seeing the large vampiric creature.

"Change him back! Change him back! He was cute before!" Suzie cried, begging to see the real Davis Motomiya and not what he had become.

"Suzie calm down we'll... Wait what?" Henry asked in surprise as MegaGargomon looked down at the young Tamer, which made Henry question. 'When did she start thinking boys were cute? I'm not ready for Suzie to be at that stage yet.'

"Henry focus! We'll interrogate Suzie about her crush later!" Terriermon called, getting his Tamer's attention to focus on the matter at had, while Suzie's cheeks were bright pink at having said what she did outloud.

"It's a manifestation of the Virus." Gennai explained as everyone at DATS looked in shock at the screen, to see Davis horrid form, which then flapped its wings, before grabbing Gallantmon in its claw-like feet, causing the knight Digimon to gasp in pain, before Davis slammed him repeatedly into the ground as he flew low, eventually throwing Gallantmon into the nearby mountain.

"This is bad." Tai said as he, Ken and Cody met up with TK, Joe, Izzy, the remaining Fusion Fighters and the DATS team as they watched the new creature thrash Gallantmon.

And while the heroes and heroines were about to help Gallantmon, they stopped, for their entranced friends were walking towards them, except now their eyes were glowing red and their faces were showing great rage.

"Easy guys." Joe said nervously as they all slowly backed away from their brainwashed friends.

"I tried to make you see things my way, I tried to show you a better world..." All the entranced humans and Digimon said in unison, shocking heroes as they quickly realized Davis was talking through them.

Even back inside the castle, Kenta and Kazu looked at Jeri in fear as, while she remained in Guardromon's grasp, her struggling stopped as she also spoke at the same time the others did.

"But now you have ruined everything! Now I will have to bring peace the hard way, taking the Digital Worlds by force! And anyone who stands in my way will be crushed by my power!" Davis finished as his monster form let out a loud roar, followed by his slaves all letting out their own cries of rage as they charged as their enemies, causing them all to scatter as they dodged their attacks.

"His rage has spread to them." Gennai said through the comms.

"You think?" Christopher replied sarcastically as he dodged a swing from Mikey's sword as the Red General began to attack more aggressively than he had before, which Tagiru and the others noticed as Shoutmon X5B and Mervamon's attacks became more relentless.

-Meanwhile-

Like their Master, the three brides began to attack more aggressively.

Ophanimon Falldown Mode clashed her Hellscythe with MagnaAngemon's Excalibur, yelling in rage. "You've ruined everything!"

Sakuyamon unleashed darkened fox spirits at Beelzemon, Antylamon and MegaGargomon, bombarding them as she screamed. "Idiots! All of you are idiots!"

And like her fellow brides, Zephyrmon let out her rage upon Aldamon and Beowolfmon, slashing at them over and over with her claws, causing both to fall to their knees in pain, before being sent backwards as Zephyrmon kicked them both in the chest as hard as she could.

"We could have worked together on this!" The corrupt Warrior of Wind yelled in anger, no longer wishing to ally herself with Takuya or the others, now she wanted to rid her Master of their existence.

-Back inside the castle-

Enraged that she had failed her Master, Jun kicked Justimon in the leg, causing the cyborg Digimon to cry out when he felt his leg break and let Jun go, before the maroon haired girl turned and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying back into the wall and dealing further damage to Justimon's being.

Just as Justimon was about to then get back to fighting, the cyborg Digimon cried out in pain once more when Jun slammed her foot into his robotic hand, smashing right through it, which made Justimon cry out in agony, with Ryo and Cyberdramon feeling the intense pain within.

With his Trinity Arm beyond repair, Jun smirked darkly, scythe drawn as she said. "Now you will know pain and suffering before I end you."

-Back outside-

UlforceVeedramon was wrecking MirageGaogamon, swinging his sword as he cut part of the blue knight Digimon's shoulderpad off, which made MirageGaogamon groan a little, both from UlforceVeedramon's speed and power, as well as the slight pain he felt with just the blade lashing past him.

"You have no place in our world!" The corrupt Digimon of Miracles declared as he then swung his blade at Rosemon, who quickly ducked to avoid the attack.

"Hey!" Ravemon called, getting UlforceVeedramon's attention.

"Don't you know how to treat a lady?" He then questioned as he shot at the corrupt Digimon and attacked.

"Mourning Dance!" Ravemon announced, bombarding UlforceVeedramon with punch after punch, only for UlforceVeedramon to block each attack and smack Ravemon away.

"Annoying pest." UlforceVeedramon commented, sounding annoyed, before resuming to attack the DATS team.

All the while the other Digimon were doing their best against their enslaved friends, who were now attacking them with more aggression.

Ranamon had Slide Evolved into Calmaramon, using her Acid Ink attack on MetalKabuterimon and Korikakumon, who did their best to move out of the way of the acidic attack, only the Warrior of Thunder was too slow and part of his being was covered by the ink, making him groan as he felt it burning away his armour.

And though Korikakumon had avoided the attack, Calmaramon continued to show no mercy as she attacked the Legendary Warrior mid air with her Tempest Twister, dealing a tremendous amount of damage to his chest.

Meanwhile, as WarGreymon dodged MetalGarurumon, the enraged Digimon of Friendship tried to claw at him, before the Digimon of Courage finally snapped.

"Enough!" WarGreymon yelled, before bringing his gauntlets together and slamming them into MetalGarurumon's head as hard as he could, sending the cyborg Digimon plummeting to the ground and causing a shockwave of dust.

And when the dust cleared, WarGreymon saw Gabumon inside the newly formed crater, knocked out, just like his partner.

"Sorry Gabumon, but we need to end this." WarGreymon said apologetically, before turning toward the castle and shot towards Davis, gathering energy in his hands.

"Terra Force!" WarGreymon announced as he threw the ball of energy at the monster, causing an explosion.

When the smoke cleared, however, much to WarGreymon's shock, Davis was still standing, without a scratch on him, as the bat creature turned his head towards him and opened its mouth, before a dark red beam of energy shot out of it, causing the Digimon of Courage to quickly move out of the way, though he could feel the heat of the attack even as it missed him.

Nearby, Gallantmon groaned as he slowly got to his feet, looking up in shock at seeing WarGreymon's attack having no effect on Davis.

Knowing that they were going to need more power to fight the corrupt Digidestined, Gallantmon looked to where Grani had fallen, and slowly limped his way over to him.

-With the Warriors of Darkness-

While most had their hands full with their own ordeals, Loweemon continued to deal with Duskmon, his spear clashing powerfully against Duskmon's blades over and over until both found themselves locked in a stalemate, with Duskmon crossing his arms, holding back Loweemon's spear as they stared at each other, reflecting the negative emotions the other held.

"How did you come back?" Loweemon questioned, before saying. "I thought you were gone when I managed to purify my Spirits."

"As I said, I have the Dark One to thank for my revival." Duskmon replied, continuing his clash with Loweemon as he added. "However, I also have to thank the Warrior of Wind for her part."

Confused, Loweemon then demanded an answer. "What are you talking about?"

"You may wield the power of Darkness, but due to the weakness you and your friends share, relying on each other for power, the Data of each Spirit was uploaded into each of you. And with Zoe seeing that Darkness will shape the future, I was revived from her."

Angered to hear Davis had used Zoe for his dark purposes, Loweemon let out a loud yell as he applied more pressure and pushed his spear down upon Duskmon's blades, managing to force Duskmon's arms down and left him open to attacks.

However, before Loweemon could attack, Duskmon struck first, releasing a blast of red coloured energy from the eye on his chest and hit Loweemon, making the true Warrior of Darkness cry out from the pain and collapse to his knees.

With Loweemon down, Duskmon rose his left arm, ready to finish their battle.

"Farewell Koichi." Duskmon said as he brought his arm down and slashed.

However, to Duskmon's surprise, Loweemon managed to bring up his spear with his right hand, holding back the blade.

"It's not over yet." Loweemon stated, continuing to hold Duskmon back.

"Shadow Meteor!" He then called, unleashing the energy within his armour, through the lion head on his chestplate and struck Duskmon, blasting him back a few feet.

Groaning as he held his chest, Duskmon looked on as Loweemon stood, quickly regaining his focus as he drew his blades out once again.

"Lunar Plasma!" Duskmon then called, bringing his arms around in a circular motion and covered his form in a red orb, only to slashes through and strike at Loweemon with great speed.

But as fast as Duskmon was, Loweemon anticipated Duskmon's movements and countered, acting fast as his form was enveloped in a cocoon of Data.

"Slide Evolution!" Loweemon called, switching to his Beast Spirit and, as the cocoon burst, revealing his form, he let out a mighty roar. "JagerLoweemon!"

"Dark Master!" JagerLoweemon then let out, causing the gems on his body to glow, before releasing the energy, which took the form of a massive black lion and shot at Duskmon, who tried to push through the attack.

But try as he might, Duskmon was overpowered when JagerLoweemon pushed himself harder, releasing more energy, tearing right through Duskmon and throwing the corrupt Warrior of Darkness back several feet.

And after recovering, pulling himself up, Duskmon didn't have a moment to rest, for JagerLoweemon then lunged at him, causing the corrupt Warrior of Darkness to try and block with his blades, but was taken by shock when JagerLoweemon sunk his fangs into the weapons and actually crunched right through them.

"Ebony Blast!" JagerLoweemon then called, firing quick bursts of dark energy from his pistons at Duskmon, who was forced to go on the defensive side, using quick bursts of speed to teleport from each attack.

"Don't think you've won yet." Duskmon called, appearing in the air, where he then yelled. "I am the true Master of Darkness. I will show you my power!"

With Duskmon's call, his being was enveloped in Data, growing in size as he too switched to his Beast Spirit, to which the corrupt Warrior of Darkness then took to the sky as he called out his name. "Velgemon!"

Seeing Velgemon, JagerLoweemon was a little worried, for he knew he could combat Duskmon, but with his Beast form, Velgemon had the advantage of flight over him.

However, JagerLoweemon remained determined to rid the Digital World of the corrupt Warrior of Darkness, no matter what it took.

-Meanwhile-

Seeing the rest of his team fighting UlforceVeedramon, ShineGreymon was about to help in, when MirageGaogamon got in front of him.

"We'll keep him busy, go help WarGreymon with Davis." The blue knight Digimon said, knowing that while UlforceVeedramon was a challenge, Davis was the main objective to defeat.

"He's right, if we stop Davis we might be able to end this." Thomas said to Marcus, who didn't like the idea of abandoning the others.

"Both of you go! We can handle this." Yoshi said as she gave the two a thumbs up and a reassuring smile, causing Marcus and ShineGreymon to look at one another, before Marcus smirked with determination in his eyes as he nodded to his partner, before the large Digimon shot towards Davis, who was focused on WarGreymon as the Digimon of Courage dodged his attacks.

"Torrid White!" ShineGreymon yelled as he fired blasts of fire at the corrupt Digidestined, who merely shrugged it off as he turned his head towards the new comer, charging at him as he used the claw part of his wings to push back at him, pinning ShineGreymon into a nearby hill.

Like the DATS team, while they were struggling against their manipulated friends, the Fusion Fighters knew what had to be done.

"Tagiru. You and Arresterdramon go and help stop Davis." Christopher said, just as Mikey tried to attack him again, grabbing Mikey's wrists and holding him back.

Though they knew Christopher was right, MetalArresterdramon, just avoiding Shoutmon X5B's blade, had to ask. "Are you sure?"

"You heard Christopher. We can handle this." ZekeGreymon stated, his claws clashing against Shoutmon X5B's sword as he then yelled. "Now go!"

"Oh yeah, we've got this." Airu said sarcastically as she dodged an attack from Angie, while Cho-Hakkaimon and Tuwarmon continued to fare against GreatestCutemon.

"Tagiru, you're the only one who can do this." Yuu said, hating to fight his sister, but knew that until Davis was stopped, Nene would not back down.

"You saved the world from Quartzmon and now you have to save it again." The blond then added with a seriousness in his tone, but knew it would encourage Tagiru and Arresterdramon to do what had to be done.

Before Tagiru could respond, Mervamon appeared close to him, and was ready to strike the brunette.

"Olympia Kai!" Mervamon yelled, bringing her blade down and across his chest, which left those not under Davis' mind control in shock.

But as Tagiru fell, Mervamon stopped, a little puzzled when the brunette's didn't fall apart or turn into Data, but instead, his head fell, revealing the Tagiru to be a fake, with the real Tagiru safely standing on MetalArresterdramon's hand alongside Tuwarmon, who had used his Body Replacement Technique.

"Thank you." Tagiru said.

"No problem." Tuwarmon replied, bowing in respect, before saying. "Now do what needs to be done."

While Tuwarmon teleported back to the battle, Tagiru and MetalArresterdramon charged at Davis, while Tagiru jumped out of his partners hand and landed near Marcus.

"Mach Flicker!" Arresterdramon yelled as he continually punched at Davis' leg, only to be knocked away by the creature's pointed tail.

As Davis turned to his new adversary, he heard someone yell. "Royal Saber!"

The attack hit the side of the creature's head, but had no effect, as Davis looked up to see Gallantmon Crimson Mode, looking down at him, before he, Arresterdramon, ShineGreymon, and WarGreymon continued their assault on the corrupt Digidestined.

-Back with the Warriors of Darkness-

Despite his determined attitude to rid the Digital World of his shadow side, Velgemon showed no mercy as he and JagerLoweemon fought.

"Destroy Koichi! Destroy the light!" Velgemon yelled as he picked JagerLoweemon in his clawed feet, flew high and began to crush him.

But fighting back, JagerLoweemon released the darkness in his being, damaging Velgemon, causing him to let out a screech and let the true Warrior of Darkness go, dropping him to the ground.

Groaning as he pulled himself back up, JagerLoweemon could hear the sound of the ground tearing up, making him look over and saw Velgemon in the midst of his most powerful attack, with his wing scraping through the ground as he almost formed a circle around JagerLoweemon.

Knowing he didn't have much time, JagerLoweemon began to run, just as Velgemon finished, where he took to the skies and activated his power, causing the circle to fill with darkness and began to close up around JagerLoweemon like a dome.

Running as fast as he could, JagerLoweemon almost made it out, but unfortunately he wasn't fast enough as the dark circle then closed, trapping him in the dome of energy, allowing Velgemon to eliminate his enemy in one attack.

"Dark Oblid..." The corrupt Warrior of Darkness began to call, ready to set off the darkness and blast the area to oblivion, only to be interrupted when he heard two familiar voices call out.

"Atomic Inferno!"

"Cleansing Light!"

With the attacks, Velgemon was unable to avoid the blasts and screeched as he was struck by flames and light, the damage to his being breaking his focus and forcing him to cancel his Dark Obliteration, releasing JagerLoweemon as the darkness faded.

Freed, JagerLoweemon looked to see Aldamon and Beowolfmon glaring at the corrupt Warrior of Darkness as they then quickly moved out of reach of Zephyrmon's claws.

"Koichi, you can do it!" BeoWolfmon called, having great faith in his brother.

"He's right. Show that fake who's the real Warrior of Darkness around here." Aldamon added, his tone matching the Warrior of Light's.

"Will both of you shut up with the little pep talks, they're getting on my nerves!" Zephyrmon yelled as she slashed Beowolfmon's chest, causing the Warrior of Light to groan in pain as he felt the claw marks go deep.

And seeing his brother hurt, JagerLoweemon knew he needed to end the battle now.

"Destroy!" Velgemon yelled again as he shot down at JagerLoweemon, his talons out as he prepared to tear his foe to pieces.

But, having already anticipated the corrupt Warrior's move, JagerLoweemon jumped up, over the large skeletal bird-like Digimon, who turned his head in surprise, watching as JagerLoweemon turned mid-air to face him, while darkness circled his form.

"Dark Master!" He exclaimed, releasing the dark aura at Velgemon, which devastated the corrupt Digimon, who screeched loudly in pain, before he came crashing into the ground, causing a shock wave of dust from the impact.

And as JagerLoweemon landed on the ground, watching as the dust settled, he saw Velgemon on the ground with his Fractal Code circling around him, causing the Warrior of Darkness to revert Koichi, who drew out his D-Tector.

"Your dark existence is over, but you were right about one thing, you are a part of me, and I need to accept that. So you need to return to where you belong." The true Warrior of Darkness said as he held out his D-Tector.

"Fractal Code Digitize!" Koichi then called out as he scanned Velgemon's code, causing the corrupt Digimon to disappear as his D-Tector absorbed the ring of Data.

The next moment, however, Loweemon looked in awe as his D-Tector began to glow, eventually changing to look like Takuya and Koji's, only his had a gray body and a gold ring around the screen.

But feeling the power inside his D-Tector, Koichi closed his eyes, grasped it and thought. 'Duskmon, you might be part of my past, but I will use your power to shape the future.'

"Execute! Fusion Evolution!" Koichi then called as he opened his eyes, uniting his Human and Beast Spirit with the power of his darkness, bringing forth a new form.

-Meanwhile-

While Koichi had defeated his darkness, Aldamon and BeoWolfmon continued to struggle against theirs'.

"Prepare for a world of hurt. Hurricane Gale!" Zephyrmon called, releasing countless blades of dark energy that took the form of a dark purple tornado, which tore through the Warrior of Flame and the Warrior of Light, leaving scars across their armour and making both cry out from the intense pain.

Seeing her former friends fall from her attack, Zephyrmon laughed as she watched the two suffer, before she heard a loud voice yell. "Red Cross!"

The vampiric Warrior of Wind then turned and used her claws to block the incoming red beams, before looking in surprise at what was standing in front of her, another foe against that opposed her and her Master, which taking in its form, it looked like a mighty warrior Digimon that had red armour which had golden patterns on the shoulder plates, wrists and legs adorned his body, while they wielded a powerful spear in his right hand.

Golden wings emerged from their back, while its face was covered by a black lion-like helmet, showing a pair of crimson eyes, full of power and determination.

And looking at them, Zephyrmon scowled.

"So Duskmon failed again?" She asked, before commenting. "And I see you put his power to good use, Koichi."

"Koichi?" BeoWolfmon questioned, surprised to see his brother had Fusion Evolved, while worried that the darkness of Duskmon could affect Koichi for the worse.

Sensing his concern, The Warrior of Darkness stood beside BeoWolfmon and said as he held out his left hand. "It's alright, Koji. I am in control of the darkness."

And glad to see Koichi Fusion Evolved, curious, Aldamon asked. "So Koichi, what's the name of your new form?"

As he assisted BeoWolfmon back to his feet, Koichi faced Aldamon and said. "Call me Rhihimon."

Nodding in reply, Aldamon then faced Zephyrmon, standing alongside the Warriors of Light and Darkness, where he said, determined. "Alright, let's do this!"

"Takuya, hold on." Rhihimon spoke up, getting the Wielder of Flame's attention, where he then told him. "Zoe's power is coming from the darkness manipulating Davis. If you can defeat him, it'll break the hold he has on her mind and return her to normal."

Understanding what Rhihimon was implying, BeoWolfmon stepped forward alongside Rhihimon, where the Warrior of Light then said. "We'll do what we can against Zoe, you do what you must to stop Davis."

"But guys..." Aldamon began to say, knowing that even with Rhihimon, Zoe's power was still formidable and made him worry for his friends.

However, BeoWolfmon blocked Aldamon's path with the Beo Saber, not looking at Aldamon as he told him. "If you truly wish to save Zoe, do what needs to be done."

"Now go!" He then ordered, before charging alongside Rhihimon as they prepared to combat the corrupt Warrior of Wind.

"Frozen Hunter!" BeoWolfmon called as white energy encircled him and took the form of a massive wolf.

"Darkness Bluster!" Rhihimon followed up as an aura of darkness circled Rhihimon and his spear, before the Legendary Warriors shot at Zephyrmon with great speed, combining their power to knock her back several feet, as well as giving Aldamon time to escape and confront the corrupt Digidestined of Courage and Friendship.

Flying towards the large beast, and seeing the others engaging Davis, Aldamon opened his Rudri Tarpana Gauntlets and yelled. "Atomic Inferno!"

But just as the others attacks, the fireballs collided with Davis' side and had no effect, save for the beast turning his head towards the new comer with a roar as it fired its energy blast at him, which Aldamon was barely able to dodge, before Davis refocused his attentions towards the others fighting him.

-Meanwhile, with Tai-

Having gotten away from the fighting and his enslaved friends, the Digidestined of Courage watched the battle between the hero Digimon and Davis, worried and concerned, both at the idea that they might end up hurting Davis, but more for the fact that they weren't damaging him at all.

"Can anyone read me?" Sampson's voice was then heard through the comms.

"Yeah?" Tai asked as he withdrew his Digivice.

"We got it, we got a cure!" Gennai informed, causing Tai's eyes to widen with hope.

"Really?" Tai asked, where in Sampson told him in reply. "Yes, we're sending someone to deliver it to you."

"Who?" Tai then asked, thinking that one of their allies or the other Legendary Warriors were coming to help them.

"Unfortunately we're a little short staffed, our allies are doing fire control stopping other issues that are coming up due to panic over what's happening." Miki responded.

"So who did you send?" Tai then asked in confusion, not sure why they were bringing this up.

"Well..." Megumi started to say.

"Hi Tai!" Said a voice next to the Digidestined of Courage, causing Tai to look down to see Calumon smiling up at him.

And while Tai would normally be alright with seeing the tiny Digimon, he could not help but feel his eye twitch as he saw a syringe strapped to Calumon's back that looked twice his size.

"Yeah let me just..." Tai started to say as he reached down and unclipped the syringe from Calumon's back, removing it and saying. "There we go."

"Thanks, it was kind of heavy." The little Digimon said with a smile, while Tai looked at the syringe, noticing the green liquid in it, before looking back at Calumon and saying. "Now please go find Suzie and stay with her."

"Ok. And good luck in making Davis nice again." Calumon said as he flew up and headed towards the young Tamer.

'How can he be so happy at a time like this!?' Tai questioned in his head, before focusing as he looked back at the syringe in his hand.

"You need to inject it into Davis, the antibodies in it should clean him of the Virus." Henry's father then informed through the comms.

"What about the others? There's seven of them." Tai pointed out, wanting to save the others as much as Davis and wasn't sure how he could if he had only one syringe.

"Davis was the first one infected, they're all linked to him, so curing him will cure the others." Gennai said, to which Sampson then spoke as he said. "This is all we could make in the short amount of time we had, so you've only the one chance at this. Good luck."

Ending his communication, Tai put his Digivice away and turned to look at Davis' beast-like form, seeing the various Digimon trying to fight him, which caused him to doubt himself a little at seeing WarGreymon, Gallantmon, Aldamon, ShineGreymon and MetalArresterdramon getting thrashed by the corrupt form Davis had become, it made Tai wonder how he could get close enough to inject him with the cure.

But as he looked around, Tai saw a section of the castle, old and crumbling, where an idea came to mind.

It wasn't the best idea he had, but it was all he could think up as he ran up the nearby hill to confront his corrupted friend.

"Davis!" Tai yelled, causing the large beast to turn its head towards him, staring at the Digidestined of courage with it's glaring red eyes and letting out a deep growl.

"Sorry to tell you this Davis, but seeing you like this, you really are pathetic." Tai said, causing the beast's eyes to narrow in anger.

"You don't deserve to be a Digidestined. You don't deserve to be called a hero, even a friend is too nice for you. Because of your twisted desires you have nothing left. You claim that you are trying to help the worlds, but the truth is you are just copying Myotismon, which makes you just as big a monster and jerk as him." The brunette then called.

Enraged at Tai's statement, Davis let out a loud roar of anger, causing Tai to turn and quickly start running towards the castle as the corrupted Digidestined gave chase, crawling on all fours with it's mouth gaping open, its teeth showing, as he prepared to end the Digidestined of Courage.

Marcus, Tagiru and the Digimon that were fighting Davis looked at the scene with confusion and shock, wondering what would possess Tai to say such stupid things to Davis knowing what he was right now.

But once they saw where Tai was leading him, they all realized what he was trying to do.

"Come on!" Marcus said as the group chased after the two.

"Wow, that was brave and smart of Tai, I didn't know he had it in him." Aldamon commented as he flew next to Gallantmon, who nodded his head in agreement.

"This is stupid, this is stupid!" Tai kept yelling out loud as he kept running, going through the hallway of the ruined section of the castle with Davis right behind him, smashing what columns remained in the area and making the section even more unstable.

But eventually, Tai saw the other end, seeing a door at the end of the hall, which he believed would suffice for his plan, to which the brunette then gave it his all as he jumped through the opening, missing Davis' teeth as he made it through trapping the corrupt Digidestined inside, who then looked up at seeing the ceiling start to cave in, realizing it was too late, and now knowing that Tai tricked him, Davis let out a roar, before being covered in the debris.

Catching his breath, Tai got up as he looked at the rubble, hoping that Davis would be kept down long enough for him to inject the cure into him.

But before Tai could so much as take another step, someone grabbed him from behind and restrained him, causing him to look over his left shoulder to see Sora's blank face looking at him, her eyes glowing an eerie red.

The next moment, Tai turned to look as the rubble shot up and around as Davis burst from it, letting out a vicious roar.

"Die!" The corrupt Digidestined yelled, his voice monstrous as he bent down to devour the brunette.

Believing he had failed, Tai closed his eyes, waiting for the end, before he suddenly heard Davis roar, only it sounded like he was in pain, causing him to open his eyes to see ShineGreymon behind Davis, who had dispelled his shield and sword and was using his hands, one arm around his neck and another around one of his wings.

As Davis struggled in his grasp, Gallantmon Crimson Mode came down towards his left leg, pinning him down a he brought down his polearm and sword on the sides of the beast's foot, which surprised Tai, before surprised further when Marcus and WarGreymon held down the right leg, while MetalArresterdramon and Tagiru held the tail down, using MetalTyrannomon's weight to make sure Davis didn't escape or try anything.

The next moment Sora let go of Tai as someone grabbed her from behind, causing the Digidestined of Courage to turn and saw Yoshi restraining the entranced orange haired girl.

"I've got her, Tai." Yoshi said, before getting more authoritative as she yelled. "Now go!"

Davis then let out a loud echoing roar, one that was heard throughout the battlefield, alerting those who served him.

"Master!" Ophanimon Falldown Mode, Sakuyamon, Zephyrmon, and UlforceVeedramon yelled, sensing their Master in trouble, before each sent out a burst of dark energy, knocking back their opponents, with the other three DATS Digimon De-Digivolving back to their Rookie forms, along with Beelzemon and Antylamon forced back to Impmon and Lopmon, while Henry and Terriermon broke their form as MegaGargomon, and MagnaAngemon came crashing to the ground, reverting back to Patamon.

And while he did his best to try and help, tapping into the power of the Catalyst within him, the Zero Unit on his head glowing with a red aura, Calumon found he was unable to Digivolve his friends, which caused his ears to shrink, both in sadness and from using such energy.

While Suzie held Calumon, all watched as the vampiric Digimon then shot out towards their Master, causing Henry to take out his D-Power and yelled in warning. "They're coming!"

-Back inside the Obelisk room-

Jun smirked as she stood over her broken opponents, as Ryo himself leaned against the wall, bruised and beaten, while Cyberdramon had reverted back to Monodramon, and didn't look much better than his partner.

"This has been fun, but here's the part where you both perish. So long." Jun said with a dark smile as she rose her scythe, ready to end the two once and for all.

-Back outside-

Knowing they didn't have much time left, with four powerful vampiric Digimon closing in on them, Aldamon flew down towards Tai with his hand extended as he yelled. "Tai!"

Getting the idea, Tai grabbed the Warrior of Flame's hand as Aldamon lifted him up and brought him towards Davis' neck, with the beast continuing to struggle against the Digimon holding him down, almost throwing Tai off of him.

"Hurry! I don't think we can hold him much longer!" Gallantmon confessed, surprised at how much trouble they were having keeping Davis down.

"Stay down!" Marcus ordered, continuing his hardest to keep Davis in control, even slamming his fist into the corrupt Digidestined's leg, which just made Davis madder.

Looking away from Davis, seeing the Brides and UlforceVeedramon closing in, their weapons drawn, Tai turned his focus back upon Davis, where he let out a small sigh.

"Sorry to do this to you, Davis, but I want my friend back!" The brunette yelled, plunging the syringe into a spot on the neck between the bone-like exoskeleton as he injected the contents of the syringe into him.

The next moment, Davis' eyes seemed to dilate as he stopped struggling for a moment, before letting out a high pitched scream as he withered in pain, throwing Tai and the others off of him.

All watched on as Davis then fell on his back and continued to wither on the ground, just as a dark aura surrounded his form.

And like Davis, Ophanimon Falldown Mode, Sakuyamon, Zephyrmon and UlforceVeedramon came crashing to the ground, withering themselves as they clinched their heads in pain and screamed, just before dark auras surrounding them as well.

Back inside the castle, Jun was affected as well, where she fell to her knees, her scythe disappeared in a black wisp and she also clinched her head in pain, while a dark aura surrounded her form.

Seeing all of this, the remaining dark Digimon realized that now was a good time to leave and quickly scattered, looking for a new place to hide away from the heroes and heroines, to which tai and the others wanted to make haste after them, but remained, watching as the dark auras vanished, revealing Kari, Rika and Zoe's unconscious forms on the ground, with Gatomon, Renamon and Veemon next to them.

And though they were still in their vampire outfits, their girls' skin color had returned to normal and no fangs could be seen from any of their mouths, a scene mirrored by Jun as she fell to her side, causing Ryo to sigh with relief.

"Let's call this a draw." Monodramon said, his pride getting the better of his and refusing to accept defeat, which just made Ryo nod and smile, knowing that their nightmare was over.

Meanwhile, as the other Digidestined, DATS, and Fusion Fighters were surrounded by their entranced colleges, the group stopped before blinking their eyes, which then returned to normal.

"What's going on?" Mikey asked confused, before getting a little started when his sword, along with the weapons the girls were carrying disappeared.

"I have no idea." Shoutmon said in reply, having broken his DigiFused form and commented as he held his head. "But I have the biggest headache."

Confused as well, the girls then looked down and blushed at their attire, with Angie asking. "What are we wearing?"

"I have no idea, but this is definitely a fashion don't." Mimi commented, more focused on the clothing than anything around her.

The others didn't respond, just sighed with relief that it was over.

-Over with JP and Tommy-

Ranamon had canceled her Beast Form, where she looked around, before seeing the Warrior of Thunder and Ice, both bruised, and caused her to ask with concern. "You two are lookin' worse for ware. What happened?"

Matt, meanwhile, slowly got up as he put his hand on the side of his face and asked. "What hit me?"

"I don't know, but I feel it hit me too." Gabumon said in reply.

Sora blinked a few times, before looking over her shoulder to see Yoshi smiling at her.

"Sora, are you alright?" Yoshi asked, making Sora nod, but have to ask her own questions. "I think so, but what happened? And why are you restraining me?"

-Inside the castle-

"Guys, where are we, and why is Guardromon holding me?" Jeri asked, confused, before looking down and seeing her attire, which made her blush and question. "And what am I wearing?"

Unsure, Guardromon faced Kazu and asked. "Should I let her go now?"

Both Kazu and Kenta laughed nervously, still rattled by Jeri's ranting from earlier, before Kazu said with a shaky voice. "Let's just wait to hear from the others."

"Yeah that sounds like a good idea."Kenta said in agreement, while Jeri was confused as to why they seemed so afraid of her.

-With Jun-

The maroon haired girl awoke as she slowly got up and questioned out loud. "What happened?"

She then looked down and saw her dress and freaked out as she yelled. "What am I wearing?"

Looking closer at it, she then commented. "I mean I look stunning in it but still..."

Ryo and Monodramon just stared at her in bewilderment, finding it hard to believe that was the same girl who nearly killed them a few moments ago.

Breaking from her focus on her attire, Jun then noticed the two and how badly beaten they looked, causing her to ask. "What happened to you two?"

The two just continued to stare at her, while Jun remained as confused as ever.

-With the Brides-

Renamon was the first to wake up, quickly sitting up as she took in her surroundings, wondering where they were and how they had arrived at such a location, before the vixen then saw Rika, went over to her as she asked. "Rika, are you alright?"

"Yeah, just a headache." Rika said as the foxy Digimon helped her Tamer up.

"Same here." Zoe said with a small groan as she got to her feet, before Rika stared at her and asked. "What are you wearing?"

The blonde then looked down, blushing at seeing her attire, before she then looked at Rika and said. "I could ask you the same thing."

It was in that moment the redhead realized her state of dress, causing her to blush and almost scream. "What am I doing, dressed like this?"

Nearby, Gatomon was helping Kari up, before the feline noticed Veemon stur, remembering that something wasn't right with him, causing the Digimon of Light to quickly run to his side.

"Vee, are you alright?" Gatomon asked, her voice filled with concern.

"Gatomon? What... where are we?" Veemon asked, trying to recall what had happened.

And like her Digimon, Kari was worried too, before looking to her side as she caught sight of who she was looking for.

"Davis!" She called in great concern, dashing toward Davis' form, soon to be followed by Gatomon, Veemon, Rika, Zoe and Renamon, all seeing him face down and looked like he was injured.

In front of them, Takato and Takuya were on either side of Davis, picking him up with his arms around their necks, while Tai and Tagiru walked on either side of them, with Guilmon, Gumdramon and the two Agumon in front of them and Marcus behind them.

As Davis began to stir, his armour faded away in a black mist, revealing his normal attire, before he looked, seeing the others and caused him to groan out. "Takuya... Takato...Tai, what...?"

"It's alright Davis. We've got you." Tai said as he put his hand on the maroon haired boy's shoulder, smiling at him.

However, Davis' next question confused them as he asked. "Is Kari alright? That bat didn't get her did it?"

Looking at each other, then back at the Digidestined of Courage and Friendship, Takuya asked. "The bat? Davis, what's the last thing you remember?"

Thinking carefully for a moment, Davis the gave his answer as he told the others. "We were in the cave fighting the IceDevimon before a bunch of bats started to swarm around us. I remember a red one heading towards Kari and I moved to block its path. Last thing I remember is a sharp pain in my neck, then the rest is just darkness."

The group was all shock; Davis didn't remember anything at all.

And from the way, Kari and those who had sided with Davis acted, it seemed they too were at a loss as to the events leading to their current locations.

"Davis!" The group then heard as they saw Kari rush towards them, with Davis blushing at seeing Kari's outfit, before Davis blushed a little more as the Digidestined of Light wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him close to her.

"Are you alright?" The brunette then asked as she pulled back and looked into his eyes.

"Yeah..." Davis said, before he had to ask as he continued blushing. "Um... what are you wearing?"

At first, Kari was a little confused, part of her mistaking Davis' blush for a fever, before she looked down and saw what she was dressed in, before Rika decided to answer for her.

"That's what I would like to know, and you Goggleheads plus one better have a good explanation!" The redhead demanded as she pointed to Marcus, indicating him as the plus one.

While the other guys laughed nervously at seeing Rika back to her usual self, Takato just smiled and said. "There's the Rika I know."

The redheaded Tamer could only blush at Takato's comment, not sure how to respond or what he meant, before Tai let out a sigh and said. "This is going to take a bit to explain."
