T4L: Hey guys what's up.
Terriermon: Hey you're late with the update again.
T4L: Yeah... I'm sorry guys I had the chapter all typed out but I didn't like how it was written so I went back and made adjustments to it and it took a while longer than I thought It would. But I think you'll find that it was worth the wait. Anyways I'm really gonna try and update a lot more.
Rika: Don't get their hopes up. You'll end up getting side tracked by other stuff...
T4L: HEY!
Terriermon: You know. She's probably right...
T4L: *Sweatdrops* Oh come on. Give me a chance. Remember how good I was at getting the chapters out last year.
Terriermon: Didn't you think you'd have at least half of this story finished by now?
T4L: Ahh...
Henry: Give him a break Terriermon he was concentrating on school.
Terriermon: And what's he concentrating on now?
T4L: Sleeping...
Terriermon: You're going to become the next Belphemon.
T4L: Shut up. The readers are here.
Terriermon: Fine... Hey where's Ultimon?
Ultimon: *Right behind Terriermon* Right here.
Terriermon: WHOA! *Runs out of the room*
T4L: Good job Ultimon. Now if you'd please get Rika out of here it'd be great.
Rika: WHAT! *Struggles as Ultimon picks her up* I WANTED TO SEE HOW TAKATO BEA!-
T4L: -Alright so anyways I've been looking forward to this chapter for a while now. In this chapter we're going to see how the DigiDestined react to the emergence of Nightmare Soldiers. Then We'll get to see Gallantmon kick some major digi-ass. But what happens when a certain mega level fallen holy digimon gets involved?
Terriermon: Lets find out!
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, or gallntmon7196's tamer character that will be introduced in this chapter. I do however own the crests of Hazard and Harmony as far as I know.
The chosen Tamer: 158 Hazardous days & nights
Searching for clues
Chapter 6: Invasion of the Nightmare Soldiers
Takato: Last time on The chosen Tamer: 158 Hazardous days and nights. Me and Guilmon being the only ones to know what was about to happen rushed to Azulongmon's palace. Azulongmon, Gennai, and I discussed what was going to happen. Gennai let it slip that he and his friends had made two extremely powerful crests. I acting on an instinct went to where the two crests were sealed away. The Digital world summoned me to it's consciousness and we discussed the digital hazard and the crests. It turns out I've been destined to be the owner of both crests. While Guilmon and I were on our way back to Azulongmon's palace, we found a huge campsite filled with Nightmare Soldiers. Guilmon and I Bio-merged to make one last attempt to stop this war before it begins. Gallantmon was quickly outnumbered by hundreds of digimon and we were forced to retreat. Wonder what's going to happen now...
I wanna be the biggest dreamer
I'm running as fast as I can
Throughout the future
And throughout the past!
That's right,
I have finally realized it.
I forgot to do my homework last night.
This is one hard, puzzle, puzzle, puzzle.
I wanna know… who am I anymore?
Even if I slide
Down a deep darkened path
And I skin my knees.
I have gotta stand
Right back up,
I've got to take my chance now
Before
I let it get away.
Big and Bigger, Biggest Dreamer,
My dreams are only the start.
To everything that has an answer
And a beginning.
I will fly faster
With my wings
If I use all of my strength
Throughout all of the
Todays
and the tomorrows.
I wanna be the biggest dreamer
I'm running as fast as I can
Throughout the future
and throughout the past!
Tai Kamiya slept peacefully in his bed along with his partner Agumon. It was a very quiet morning. Only the sound of a few cars passing by down on the streets below disturbed the apartments bliss.
Then suddenly an earsplitting explosion erupted somewhere outside soon followed by the screams of countless terrified people.
Tai and Agumon along with everyone else in the city who were still asleep bolted into a sitting position as they heard the explosion.
Tai jumped out of bed and ran to his window to see what had happened. The sight that met his eyes was almost unbearable. A fifty car pile up and a DarkTyranomon laughing maniacally at it.
Tai got away for the window and rushed out of his room. He ran past Kari not even noticing her until she spoke.
"Tai what's going on!" She asked in worry.
"I'm gonna barf." Tai said as he push the bathroom door open and rushed to the toilet getting there just in time.
"Tai are you okay?" Kari asked concerned.
"I'm a lot better than those poor people that DarkTyranomon probably just killed..." Tai said in disgust. He should've been able to do something! He should've known something was going on!
"What!" Kari shouted in alarm as she ran over to the window and let out a sob as she saw what Tai had seen a few moments before. "Tai we've gotta do something!"
"I'll say!" Tai said as he rushed out of the bathroom. "Agumon! We've gotta go!" Tai shouted into his room.
"Alright! It's fightin' time!" Agumon said as he turned away from the window.
A few minutes later Tai, Agumon, Kari, and Gatomon were running through the streets trying to find the DarkTyranomon.
*****Elsewhere in the DigiDestined's world*****
Mimi looked on in terror as Lillymon struggled against a BlackWarGreymon.
"Flower Cannon!" Lillymon shouted as she fired her attack at BlackWarGreymon who simple smacked it away like a fly.
"Pathetic..." BlackWarGreymon said as he prepared his own attack. "This is what true power is like! Terra Destroyer!"
"LILLYMON!" Mimi cried as the attack flew towards a shinning Lillymon. Mimi's digivice was going crazy in her hands.
*****In the Digital World*****
"What happened...?" Takato asked as he rubbed his eyes. The sun was blazing into his face like crazy. "Guilmon." Takato called waking Guilmon up.
"What is it Takatomon?" Guilmon asked.
"We've gotta get moving, we were asleep way to long." Takato said as his mind raced about how he could stop this war from starting.
"Okay." Guilmon said as he walked over to Takato.
Takato pulled out the three modify cards he needed and swiped them through the Omnivice.
Not even two minutes later they were back at the Nightmare Soldiers campsite from last night.
What met their eyes horrified them. Some sort of Portal/Rift had split open in the middle of the campsite and Nightmare Soldiers were now spewing out of it like crazy. The Nightmare Soldiers that emerged then proceeded to head off to the south east.
Takato motioned for Growlmon to follow him and to not make a sound. Growlmon nodded and followed Takato who was following the seemingly endless number of Nightmare Soldiers marching off to the south east.
Eventually they came to a mountain. The Nightmare Soldiers just continued on ignoring the mountain, giving Takato an ideal hiding spot.
Takato and Guilmon who had de-digivolved to save energy now followed the Nightmare Soldiers on top of the mountain. But that didn't last to long, because a short time later the Nightmare Soldiers came to a halt.
"What could they be doing?" Takato asked as he and Guilmon peered over the cliff they were on.
"I don't know..." Guilmon said just as puzzled as Takato. "Lunch break maybe...?" Guilmon suggested.
"You need to stop thinking about food..." Takato replied as he continued to watch the Nightmare Soldiers who seemed to be gathering around something.
"NOW MY FELLOW NIGHTMARE SOLDIERS! OFF TO THE REAL WORLD TO AVENGDE LORD DEAMON'S DEFEAT!" A Nightmare Soldier shouted causing all the rest to roar in approval.
Takato's eyes widened in both fear and realization. He finally realized just where the Nightmare Soldiers were going and why they needed this huge of an amount of digimon. This was an army made for one purpose. To eliminate all life in the real world. Takato couldn't let that happen. He wouldn't let that happen. Not before he gave it all he's got to stop it.
Takato looked at Guilmon who nodded showing he understood.
The Nightmare Soldiers as a whole made a movement to head for the D-Terminal.
Takato not having time to think of a plan jumped off of the cliff ledge he and Guilmon were on, followed immediately by Guilmon.
"BIO-MERGE ACTIVATE!" Takato shouted as they fell.
"GUILMON BIO-MERGE TO!... GALLANTMON!" Gallantmon landed in front of the Nightmare Soldiers who all seemed a bit taken aback at his sudden arrival. "You're going to have to go through me before you can get to the real world!" Gallantmon shouted.
"That can be arranged." A dark and menacing voice spoke from the many Nightmare Soldiers as a huge purple digimon floated out of the crowd.
Cherubimon in all his evil and menacing glory now stood in front of Takato. He towered over all the other digimon and the evil smile on his face added to his menacing size causing Takato to gulp, this wasn't going to be good but he knew what he had to do. Even if he died trying he had to stop as many of these digimon from entering the real world as he could.
Gallantmon charged into battle slashing and deleting a few Bakamon and other lower level digimon on contact. He knew that the only way to win this battle was to get rid of a few of the weaker enemies but when he finally would get a chance he'd have to delete Cherubimon since he was the strongest.
Gallantmon used a lightning joust and deleted about eight Bakamon and a DarkTyranomon. Then out of nowhere about a dozen BlackAgumon tackled Gallantmon to the ground. Gallantmon managed to throw the BlackAgumon off of him and impaled one of them with his lance while it ws falling before releasing a lightning joust at the others.
A Phantomon tried to sneak attack Gallantmon from behind, but he jumped up into the air and charged up a shield of the just attack and deleted about nine DarkTyranomon.
A Crimson Lightning hit Gallantmon in the back sending him flying back down to the ground.
Gallantmon got up still feeling the lightning coursing though his armor and got an idea. He concentrated every fiber of his existence on the electricity and then he forced it out of him. Electricity sparked from his armor like super powerful static as a Devidramon tried to slash at him with it's claws, the static not only deflected Devidramon's attack but also deleted him on contact.
"Now that's what I call defensive skills!" Gallantmon said in amazement at his idea having actually worked.
"Red Eyes!" Another Devidramon shouted causing Gallantmon to literally freeze in place.
"Lightning Blast!" Cherubimon shouted from somewhere behind Gallantmon.
'OH THIS IS GONNA HURT!' Takato thought frantically inside his data sphere.
The humongous bolt of lightning struck Gallantmon hard in the back and exploded, causing Gallantmon to fly seventeen feet through the air and smack right into the side of the mountain that he had moments before been hiding on.
"I was right... That really hurt..." Gallantmon said as he fell onto his back.
"Double Scissor Claw!" A Okuwamon shouted from the sky as it flew towards Gallantmon.
"OH COME ON! GIVE ME A BREAK!" Gallantmon shouted in indignation as he rolled out of the way of Okuwamon's attack. "Lightning Joust!" Gallantmon shouted as he aimed his lance at Okuwamon. The attack hit Okuwamon right in the side and deleted him on contact.
"Thousand Spears!" Cherubimon shouted as multiple lightning spears began firing down at Gallantmon who quickly jumped out of the way and fired a Lightning Joust at Cherubimon. The attack hit Cherubimon right in the face causing him to fall over onto his back.
"You're stronger than I thought!" Cherubimon said in anger as he got back to his feet. "I cannot take any chances. I must destroy you now before you can stop my masters from returning to this world." Cherubimon stated.
"And just who are your masters?!" Gallantmon demanded.
"The dark seven... The most evilest of all digimon. The seven great demon lords." Cherubimon stated.
"The seven demon lords!?" Gallantmon shouted in a combination of astonishment and fear.
"Yes and they shall soon return to this world to finish what they started long ago." Cherubimon replied.
"And what's that?!" Gallantmon asked.
"TO RULE THE WORLDS! YOU FOOL!" Cherubimon said as he summoned a spear of lightning in his hand. "Lightning Blast!"
"Lightning Joust!" Gallantmon shouted as he aimed his lance at the spear of lightning in Cherubimon's hand and blasted it apart, causing Cherubimon to howl in pain as his attack exploded in his hand.
"WHY YOU LITTLE! STORM OF JUDGEMENT!" Cherubimon shouted as he summoned a huge cloud above Gallantmon.
Gallantmon's eyes widened in terror as he realized what was about to happen. He ran to the left to try and clear the area of the cloud but eighteen lightning bolts came down in front of him blocking his path. He was trapped he knew that..., but there had to be some way out of this...
Lightning came crashing down faster and faster all around Gallantmon some of the bolts even hitting him, causing his armor to once again spark with electricity.
Gallantmon in one last vain attempt to save himself from the endless lightning strikes raised his lance to the sky and closed his eyes. He could see rapid flashes of light but something was different...
Gallantmon opened his eyes and saw how his lance was acting as a lightning rod absorbing all the lightnings power, and that gave him an idea.
Gallantmon continued to allow his lance to absorb the lightning strikes as he prepared his plan. The flashes of lightning were hiding him very well from all of the digimon including Cherubimon, giving him time to prepare for the attack. The lightning began to slow down as the clouds began to fade away. It was time.
"LIGHTNING JOUST!" Gallantmon shouted as he released all the energy he had just absorbed from the lightning. The attack flew across the clearing that separated Gallantmon from a stunned Cherubimon. The lightning struck Cherubimon right in the chest and ripped through him and continued on it's path deleting some LadyDevimon's and DarkTyranomon's who couldn't get out of the way fast enough.
Gallantmon stood where he was exhausted he had put everything he had into that attack, and there was still so many more digimon to fight... Gallantmon looked around at the remaining army of Nightmare Soldiers. They seemed to be very agitated, and were no closing in on him threateningly.
"You may have beat our commander but that doesn't mean we're going to give up!" A Phantomon stated angrily.
"Yeah that's right." A LadyDevimon said. "By the end of tonight are real commander will have arrived. And then you'll be destroyed along with all the DigiDestined."
"But for now!"
"Red Eyes!" A Devidramon shouted paralyzing Gallantmon.
"Crimson Claw!"
"Demonic Gale!"
"Evil Wing!"
"Darkness Wave!"
"Black Wing!"
"Grisly Wing!"
"Crimson Lightning!"
"Cloud Minion!"
"Blood Punch!"
"Nightmare Claw!"
"Nightmare Wave!"
"Double Scissor Claw!"
"Shadow Scythe!"
"Words of Death!"
"Diabolic Star!"
"Nail Bone!"
"MEGA CLAW!"
"GIGI BLASTER!" A group of Nightmare Soldiers shouted in rage.
Gallantmon's eyes widened in shear horror. 'OH CRAP!' Gallantmon shouted as he tried to get away. The attacks struck all at once in a blinding flash of light.
Takato opened his eyes and stared in horror at the now even more enraged Nightmare Soldiers.
"A human and a Digimon digivolving together!" A SkullSatamon said in disgust.
"Not only that!" A LadyDevimon shouted.
"He also deleted many of our number!" A Myotismon said in outrage.
The Nightmare Soldiers started for Takato who forced himself up onto his feet. And for some reason he found his hands moving to his pockets and pulling out the crests he had gotten the night before. Takato unconsciously began to move the two crests closer together unaware that this was causing some strange effects.
The Nightmare Soldiers who had been moving towards him menacingly found themselves unable to move any closer to him.
Time began to speed up a bit in the digital world.
In the Southern Quadrant the digimon watched in puzzlement as all the data streams began to turn into a lime green color.
Takato still unaware of any of this found that it was getting harder to move the crests together. As though he was trying to force two magnets of the same polarity together. The closer they got to each other, the harder it was to combine them.
*****The Digital Worlds consciousness*****
"So now we'll see... If you are truly the one destined for the crests. Only the Chosen One from the prophesies can find the strength to combine the two crests together..."
*****Back with Takato inside his mind*****
"WHY...! WON'T...! THESE...! THINGS...! COMBINE...!" Takato shouted in frustration as he continued to try and force the two crests together.
"What the hell are you doing!" Chaos shouted in outrage.
"MUST...! COMBINE...! CRESTS...!" Takato shouted in frustration.
"TO HELL YOU WILL!" Chaos shouted as he broke out of the cage he was in and began fighting for control over the body. 'If the crests are fully activated then it'll be a bitch of a time taking control of this body.'
*****Outside of Takato's mind*****
In one final burst of light and energy the crests combined into one all powerful crest. The crest of Hazardous Harmony.
Takato felt the very core of his existence shift and alter. Chaos was gone, he was no longer fighting for control like he had been doing a moment before. He suddenly felt much different. He had an emense desire to bring justice to all evil. He felt the power to back up that feeling deep inside of him awakening. But he also felt something else. He felt...a bit dark...he felt a bit drawn to darkness.
*****Between the worlds*****
Omnimon froze in place as he felt the power of the new crest burst into existence.
"So it begins... You have taken the first big step in becoming who you are ment to be Takato Matsuada Matsuki..." Omnimon said to himself as he began flying off through the realm in-between again.
*****The Digital worlds consciousness*****
"So Takato Matsuada Matsuki... You are indeed the one from the prophesies..." The Digital world said to itself. "You shall have to face many trials before you are to finally face your true enemy..."
*****Gennai's house*****
Gennai had been awake for hours now looking over everything he had in his possession, trying to figure out a way to fight off the Nightmare Soldiers when they arrive, and also for a possible reason why Takato had the hazard inside of him.
Gennai suddenly felt a jolt of energy pass through him just as the Sovereigns and Omnimon had felt at the exact same moment. Gennai unconsciously looked over at a very special clock he had invented to keep track of the digital worlds time and the real worlds as well. His eyes almost bulged out of his head when he saw how fast the digital world time was going compared to the real worlds.
In the Digital world it was now 11:45 A.M. And in the Real worlds it was only 11:02 just four minutes ago they had been on the same time up until the last nano second. How could the digital worlds time have increased so drastically without any warning... Unless...
"The boy has merged the two crests into one...Than that means he's..." Gennai's eyes widened in a combination of realization, shock, amazement, sorrow, and pity. "God be with you Takato... I would not wish your destiny even on my worst enemy... Let alone someone of your age..." Gennai said sorrow filling his voice. "But why would you have had to combine the crests right now...? Unless..." Gennai's eyes widened again as he realized what was happening. "I must warn Azulongmon!" Gennai said in alarm as he left his house.
*****Southern Quadrant real world*****
(A/N: Hey I Said we weren't going to see the tamers again in this story... I never said anything about Hypnos...and a flash back of the tamers...)
Yamaki rushed into the control room at Hypnos he had just gotten an urgent call from Reilly that something big was happening in the digital world.
Yamaki was frustrated first he was still looking for the person who stole the Digimon distabilizer. Then he was still trying to figure out just why the Locomon, Parasimon and the MaloMyotismon had been able to Bio-emerge into the real world. And then on top of all that he now had to search for Takato again. Oh he wouldn't forget the day he received that news...
*****Four days ago; Hypnos II*****
Yamaki had just come into the office and had checked on all his employees progress on their research, when the main doors in the control room burst open and all the tamers besides Takato ran into the room in a frenzy.
It had taken a long time to get them all to calm down enough to get them to explain what they were doing there.
Henry being the first to relax explained the situation.
Apparently Takato had gone back to the digital world last night so that he'd be able to return the tamers partners to the real world again after they were sucked back into the digital world. The problem was when he sent all their partners back last night him and Guilmon had remained in the digital world and had sent the tamers a message explaining why he wasn't going to return to the real world.
Henry then handed his comlink to Yamaki who read the message to himself.
"To all of you, and my parents. I'm sorry to do this to you all, but I've found myself in a tough situation. I should have told you all this before but I accidentally activated the hazard the last time I was here and now I've done it again… But this time it was purposely. It was for a good cause though, a digimon known as Chaosmon tried to destroy both this world and the real world, so I do not regret my choice. Although I am concerned about the hazards presence in me. I am more concerned about it now more than I have ever been. I can feel it increasing inside of me and it's starting to leak out of me even when I'm not angry. I fear what will happen if I return to the real world while this is still happening. I hope to find the answers I'm looking for here in the digital world. I do not know how long it will take or if I will ever see you again. For reasons I cannot tell you about, I am breaking the comlink so you cannot track me. I will miss all of you, you were the best friends I ever had. Good bye."
Yamaki reread the message quite a few times trying to understand it. "Takato is in some way able to control the digital hazard?" Yamaki asked the tamers in wonderment.
"Yeah. The first time it happened was while we were all in the digital world. Beelzemon had just deleted Jeri's partner and absorbed his data. Takato got so angry he forced Guilmon to digivolve to Mega and he ended up dark digivolving into Megidramon who almost destroyed the digital world with the power of the digital hazard." Henry explained.
"So that's what caused the computers to go crazy..." Yamaki said to himself. "And he says that this Chaosmon tried to destroy both worlds? What kind of Digimon could be that powerful?!" He asked in an tone of both outrage and horror.
Ryo being the fastest brought up the data on Chaosmon using his D-Ark. "Chaosmon is a Digimon whose name is derived from "chaos". Normally, when a DNA Digivolution occurs, the DigiCores of the two fellow Digimon are completely fused and are reborn as a new Digimon, but Chaosmon retains each of the DigiCores of the Digimon before the Digivolution, and maintains its form in a very incomplete state. Chaosmon is the codename for Digimon who "should not exist," and according to the "Central Dogma" of the Digital World, are absolute impossible singularities. Due to its extremely unstable existence, its lifespan is very brief, and it is conjectured that its lifespan was shortened as a result of running the program that eliminates the bugs released by the Digital World's managing system. This Chaosmon is believed to be one that was Digivolved from BanchoLeomon and Darkdramon, and the faces of each Digimon are visible on its arms. The "BAN-TYO Blade" is equipped to its "Bantyo Arm", and the "Gigastick Cannon" is equipped to its "Darkdra Arm". The DigiCode on its BAN-TYO Blade reads (カオスモン Kaosumon, lit. "Khaosmon"). He is a Mega level, unique type. His attacks are; Bantyo Blade - Which dispatches an invincible decisive stroke from the BAN-TYO Blade. Dark Prominence - Fires off its own digital cells from the Gigastick Cannon. And End of Paradox..." Ryo read aloud.
"Sounds like one tuff digimon." Kazu summed up for everyone else in the room.
They were all speechless. Takato had had to fight that thing...? All by himself...!?
Yamaki read through the message again. "If Takato really has broken the comlink it's going to be a lot more difficult to find him." Yamaki said as he went over to the main computer and typed some stuff down. An image of the digital world appeared and Yamaki triangulated were Takato had been when he sent the message. The computer zoomed in onto a rocky cliff side. And when Yamaki zoomed in further... Foot prints tracking away from the area. One set was of a human and the other set of a digimon. "Well it looks like they headed off somewhere."
"Try and see where the foot prints lead." Henry suggested.
"I'll try..." Yamaki said as he followed the foot prints until they suddenly stopped.
"That's the entrance to the Machine Zone." Ryo explained. "It's up a layer in the digital world."
"Alright." Yamaki said as he pressed a few buttons and the Machine zone appeared. More foot prints lead off to a data stream in the distance.
"He's gone to the Sovereigns palace." Guardromon stated shocking everybody with his sudden statement.
"Why would he go there?" Kenta asked.
"Yeah didn't Zuchoumon try and fry all of us the last time we were there?" Kazu asked.
"He probably wanted to talk to a sovereign to see if they knew why he was able to control the digital hazard." Ryo explained to them.
"Well since when did Chumly start using his brain?" Kazu asked.
"Since he became concerned about the hazard getting worse. He's afraid of what might happen if it get's out of control." Henry replied as he realized the full intensity of Takato's message.
"Well everybody I can't get an image from the sovereigns level so we've reached a dead end." Yamaki said as he walked away from the computer in frustration.
"Then we'll just have to go to the digital world to find him." Rika said as she turned to leave.
"That's not possible." Yamaki replied.
"AND WHY NOT!?" Rika shouted.
"Because the portal is sealed shut and it seems only very powerful digimon can come through into this world, and that only Takato can open a portal to the digital world." Yamaki said even more frustrated.
The tamers all looked at each other in shock. Now that Yamaki mentioned it, it really did seem like only Takato was able to open the portal to the digital world. Takato and Guilmon had found the portal to the digital world the first time. Then no one knew just how Takato had gotten to the digital world the second time. And then he had always somehow known where the portal would open when he was returning to the real world.
Something was up... Why was it only Takato...?
"Look kids..." Yamaki said getting the tamers attentions. "I'll do what I can to find Takato but I can't make any promises." With that said Yamaki lead them out of the building and returned to his work.
*****Back to the present*****
Yamaki rushed over to Reilly upon seeing the erratic data patterns in the digital world.
"What's going on?" Yamaki asked her.
"It appears that some form of energy has just burst into existence somewhere in the digital world." Reilly explained.
"Pinpoint it." Yamaki demanded. "There's a good chance Takato might be involved in this somehow."
"We've been trying to pinpoint it, but it appears to be in an area that's unreachable." Reilly replied.
"But that's impossible." Yamaki stated. "There's no area in the digital world that's unreachable to us."
"Well we can't find where the energy is coming from. It appears somewhere from the east but every time we try and move the image to the east were it's coming from it's like we've hit an invisible wall." Reilly explained.
"Hmm..." Yamaki said in puzzlement. "Why would that be...?"
*****Finally back to Takato*****
Takato stood in the center of an endless army of very angry Nightmare Soldiers, completely reenergized from the power of the crest. Takato looked towards Guilmon and saw that he to seemed reenergized as well. Takato put the new crest around his neck like how the DigiDestined had worn them, and prepared to bio-merge.
"Bio-merge activate!" Takato shouted.
"Guilmon Bio-merge to!... Gallantmon!"
'Now for all innocent life..., we fight!'
"SHEILD OF THE JUST!"
*****Back to Tai and Kari*****
Tai and Kari along with their digimon partners had been running through the streets for about twenty minutes now searching for the DarkTyranomon that Tai had seen earlier. They turned a corner and ran right into Matt, Gabumon, T.K., Patamon, Izzy, and Tentomon.
"Man am I glad to see you guys." Tai exclaimed as he realized who he had just ran into.
"Yeah I'll say." Matt responded. "We all saw on the news that a DarkTyranomon is on the rampage through the park."
"So that's where it went..." Tai muttered under his breath as he turned in the direction of the park. "Come on! No time to waste!" Tai said as he ran off towards the park followed by the rest of the group.
A few minutes later Tai, Kari, Matt, T.K., Izzy, and their partners were at the park.
"Alright we won't need everyone to fight this guy, he's only a champion after all." Izzy said to Kari and T.K. Who nodded in understanding.
"Agumon." Tai said as he pulled out his digivice.
"Right." Agumon responded. "Agumon digivolve to! Greymon!"
"You too Gabumon." Matt said as he too pulled out his digivice.
"Gabumon digivolve to! Garurumon!"
"Alright you guys lets get rid of this guy before he causes anymore damage to the city!" Tai shouted to the two digimon.
"Right." Greymon responded as he and Garurumon ran towards the DarkTyranomon who had noticed their arrival and was now preparing to attack. "Nova Blast!" Greymon shouted as he shot a Nova ball at the DarkTyranomon. The attack struck the DarkTyranomon who didn't even flinch at the attack.
"Fire Blast!" The DarkTyranomon shouted as flames burst out from it's mouth and began to torch the whole area.
"What's he doing!" Greymon shouted in confusion.
"He doesn't even seem concerned about us!" Garurumon replied in shock.
"If that's the case you'll just have to digivolve again!" Both Tai and Matt called to them as they raised their digivices into the air.
"Greymon digivolve to! MetalGreymon!"
"Garurumon digivolve to! WereGarurumon!"
"DarkTyranomon digivolve to! MetalTyranomon!"
"That isn't good..." Izzy said as they watched as the light of digivolution faded from MetalTyranomon.
"How could he have digivolved?" Matt asked taken aback.
"Who cares! We gotta get rid of this guy!" Tai replied.
"Right." Matt agreed.
"Giga Blaster!" MetalGreymon shouted as two missels came out of his cyborg chest and flew towards the MetalTyranomon who lifted up it's left arm and aimed it at the incoming attack.
"Nuclear Laser!" The MetalTyranomon shouted as an energy shell shot out from it's left arm and blew up MetalGreymon's attack.
"This might be just be a tougher battle then I thought it was going to be..." Izzy commented.
"Yeah no kidding." Tai replied.
"Wolf Claw!" WereGarurumon shouted as he attacked the MetalTyranomon who again didn't seem to even flinch.
The MetalTyranomon turned towards WereGarurumon and swiped him away with his right arm. WereGarurumon was sent flying into a building across the street from the park.
"WereGarurumon!" Matt called to his partner as he ran to his injured partner.
"Okay that's it." Tai said as he looked at Matt carrying an unconcess Gabumon back over to them. "No more fooling around. Izzy, Kari, T.K. Time to step into the battle.
"Right." The three of them responded.
"Patamon digivolve to! Angemon! Angemon digivolve to! MagnaAngemon!"
"Gatomon digivolve to! Angewomon!"
"Tentomon digivolve to! Kabuterimon! Kabuterimon digivolve to! MegaKabuterimon!"
"Giga Destroyer!" The MetalTyranomon shouted as it raised it's right arm towards the digimon.
"Everyone scatter!" Angewomon shouted as she flew into the air.
The rest of the digimon did as told and got out of the way of the attack and prepared their own attacks.
"Horn Buster!"
"Celestial arrow!"
"Giga Blaster!"
"Soul Vanisher!"
The attacks combined and struck into MetalTyranomon with amazing force causing smoke to fill the air.
"Alright that had to have done some real damage!" Tai exclaimed in victory.
When the smoke cleared he and the others were left dumbfounded. A different digimon now stood were the MetalTyranomon had been. It seemed to be covered in rust and looked a bit similar to MetalTyranomon but looked a lot stronger and feircer.
"Izzy just what is that...?" Tai asked seeming a bit nervous.
"Give me a second." Izzy said as he pulled out his laptop.
The new digimon began to raise it's right arm towards the Digidestined and their digimon.
"IZZY!" Tai said seeming pretty nervous now. "Hurry up with that info."
"Got it!" Izzy called as he got the information on the screen.
"Rustmon a mega level digimon of the virus type. Attacks-"
"LOOK OUT!" Tai shouted as he tackled Izzy to the ground as an energy ball came flying past them vaporizing Izzy's laptop.
"MY COMPUTER!"
"Forget about your computer. That could of been us." Tai said as he got up and looked at the huge hole the energy ball had created in a building across the street.
"This digimon is really strong." Izzy said as he too looked at the hole in the building. "Tai, Matt we've only got one chance to beat this guy."
"Right." Tai replied. "Matt you think Gabumon's up to it?"
"I'll do my best." Gabumon said as he prepared to digivolve.
"Alright then, let's do this." Tai said as he raised his digivice into the air again.
"Agumon warp digivolve to! WarGreymon!"
"Gabumon warp digivolve to! MetalGarurumon!"
"WarGreymon!"
"MetalGarurumon!"
"DNA digivolve to! Omnimon!"
"Now lets finish this guy before he does anymore damage to the city than he already has." Matt and Tai called to Omnimon.
"SURPREME CANNON!" Omnimon shouted as he aimed his right arm at Rustmon who also raised his right arm and released another energy ball.
The two attacks met in mid air and exploded with tremendous force, that caused the DigiDestined to fall over onto the ground.
"Tai, Matt!" Omnimon shouted through a cloud of smoke that had been caused by the attacks. "Get the others to safety!"
"Alright!" Tai called back to him.
"Be careful!" Matt added as he and Tai led the others to safety. Explosions sounded from behind them as they continued to run away from the park.
"Supreme Cannon!" Omnimon's voice shouted from the distance followed by a massive explosion which shook the buildings.
The group eventually made it to a still intact building a few blocks away and they all stopped running to catch their breaths.
"What the heck... Is going on?" T.K. Asked as he caught his breath.
"I don't know." Izzy replied as he looked back to where Omnimon and Rustmon were fighting. "But I do know that that is no ordinary digimon..."
"What makes you say that Izzy?" Tai asked.
"Digivolving twice in less than ten minutes... Not even Diaboromon was able to digivolve that fast." Izzy explained to them.
"So are you saying this guy might be even stronger than Diaboromon?!" Tai and Matt asked in shock.
"...Maybe..." Was all Izzy said in response.
"TRANSENDED SWORD!" Omnimon shouted from the distance as the sound of metal hitting metal echoed through the streets. Then the sound of something metalic crashing to the ground.
Tai and Matt looked at each other in alarm as they ran back to where Omnimon and Rustmon had been fighting. When they got there they found Omnimon but no Rustmon in sight.
"Did you get him?" They both asked Omnimon.
"Yeah, but he was very powerful..., unlike anything we've ever seen before." Omnimon responded as the rest of the group returned to the park along with Joe, Gomamon, Sora, Biyomon, Davis, Veemon, Ken, and Wormon.
"Tai we've got trouble!" Davis said in alarm as he ran up to Tai and Matt.
"Don't worry Davis, we took care of the DarkTyranomon." Tai said trying to get Davis to calm down.
"DarkTyranomon...?" Davis said confused.
"Davis it must've been another one." Ken said to Davis in explanation.
"Your right." Davis responded. "Tai there are digimon emerging all over the city and wrecking havoc all over the place!" Davis explained to the others.
"What's going on...?" Tai murmured under his breath. "Alright we've gotta do something about these digimon and then we need to figure out what's going on and how to stop more from entering this world." Tai said to the others.
"I think that Omnimon and Imperialdramon will be more than enough to take care of the evil digimon around the city. So why doesn't everyone else go and find the others and then we'll all meet back at Tai's place." Matt suggested.
"Yeah that sounds good." Tai agreed. "Izzy see if you can contact Gennai to see what's going on." Tai added.
"Right, hopefully he'll know what's going on." Izzy agreed.
With that T.K., Kari, Izzy, Joe, Sora, and their partners left to find Yolie, Cody, and Mimi.
"Veemon time to DNA digivolve." Davis said.
"Right." Veemon replied. "Ready Wormon?" Veemon aked.
"Yep let's go." Wormon replied.
"Veemon digivolve to! Ex-Veemon!"
"Wormon digivolve to! Stingmon!"
"Ex-Veemon!"
"Stingmon!"
"DNA digivolve to! Paildramon! Paildramon mega digivolve to! Imperialdramon!"
"Alright lets go take care of those evil digimon before they cause anymore damage then they already have." Tai said as he and Matt climbed onto Omnimon's shoulders.
"Right!" Davis said as he and Ken entered Imperialdramon.
The two digimon then took off searching for the digimon's that had emerged into the real world.
*****With Izzy at the Kamiya's apartment.*****
Izzy wanting to contact Gennai as soon as possible broke off from the rest of the group and headed off to Tai's place to send a message to Gennai.
Izzy was now rushing to write a message to Gennai.
Izzy's message
'Gennai it's me Izzy. We've got a big problem here in the real world and I was wondering if you knew what was going on. A lot of digimon have emerged into the real world and are wrecking havoc here. Do you know what's going on, or at least what we can do to stop anymore from entering the real world? Get back to me as soon as you can.'
Izzy sent the message and waited for what must've been a half hour. Gennai had never made him wait for a reply that long before.
"Something must be up...I wonder what's happening..." Izzy said to himself.
*****With Gennai in the digital world*****
Gennai had just arrived at Azulongmon's and was now in the process of explaining the situation to him.
"So you think Takato may have engaged the Nightmare Soldiers to prevent them from commencing an attack?" Azulongmon asked Gennai.
"Yes. That is the only reason I can think of for him to have merged the crests together." Gennai responded.
"Then we do not have much time..." Azulongmon stated. "You must go and alert the DigiDestined of what is happening and bring them to the digital world so they can help their friend." Azulongmon instructed.
"I'll leave at once." Gennai replied as he disappeared.
*****Back with Izzy*****
"I wonder what's taking him so long..." Izzy said to himself as he stared at the unchanging screen of the Kamiya's computer. Then suddenly his eyes widened as the screen was filled with an emence light. He quickly moved away from the computer just in time as Gennai emerged from the computer. "Gennai!?" Izzy said startled.
"Izzy were are the others we don't have much time." Gennai said as he walked over to Izzy.
"Well Tai, Matt, Davis, and Ken are fighting off the rest of the digimon that emerged into the real world, and Sora, Kari, T.K., and Joe are looking for Yolie, Cody and Mim." Izzy explained.
"So the Nightmare Soldiers have emerged here too..." Gennai said to himself.
"The Nightmare Soldiers?" Izzy asked. "Do you mean the digimon from the Dark Ocean?"
"Yes. Takato came to Azulongmon and I last night and warned us that a new digimon has been born from concentrated dark energy in the Dark Ocean." Gennai explained. "This digimon is so powerful that it is destroying the barriers between the Dark Ocean and the Digital world."
At Gennai's words Izzy's eyes widened in terror. "Does that mean that all the digimon that are in the Dark Ocean are free?" Izzy asked.
"Yes and they are flooding out of the rift that has opened up in the digital world." Gennai replied.
"Gennai... The Nightmare Soldiers are the least of our worries then..." Izzy stated going very pale.
"What do you mean?" Gennai asked in confusion.
"We sealed Deamon inside of the Dark Ocean..." Izzy replied seeming so terrified he could be sick.
Gennai also turned very pale at this shocking realization. "Izzy we don't have time to worry about that right now you need to get everyone back here right away." Gennai responded.
"All right." Izzy said as he went over to the phone.
*****The Kamiya's apartment fifty minutes later*****
Everyone besides Tai, Matt, Davis, Ken, and Mimi were now at the Kamiya's place.
Izzy was in a corner talking to Gennai and Joe in worried voices.
Sora, Kari, and Yolie were on the couch talking about their ideas about why and how the digimon had gotten to the real world.
Cody was on the balcony looking out at the destruction the digimon had caused. Smoke was coming out of almost all the buildings in the distance. Down on the road below him he could see a huge mound of cars all on top of each other and people going around to every car and pulling out bodies. Cody shivered in a combination of sorrow, anger, and disgust.
"Why would anyone ever do something like this...?" Cody muttered under his breath as he continued to stare out into the distance.
The door of the apartment opened revealing Tai who now had blood running down the side of his face from his left eyebrow, and Matt and Ken who seemed to be supporting a very weak Davis. The four of them walked into the room causing everyone to become quite and stare at them in worry.
Matt noticing their looks spoke for the rest of them. "Those digimon were the most evilest digimon we've ever seen. A LadyDevimon came out of nowhere and did that to Tai. Then a BlackGreymon tried to attack some little kids and Davis got them out of the way but got caught in the blast."
"I'm...I'm alright..." Davis said to them all as he tried to smile but ended up grimacing in pain.
Matt and Ken led Davis to the unoccupied sofa and carefully set him down in a laying position on it.
"Kari do you have anything we can give to Davis and Tai for their pain?" Ken asked her.
"Yeah, I think so." She said as she went off to the bathroom.
"Well now we're just waiting for Mimi and Palmon." Izzy said breaking the silence that seemed to have filled the room. "Have any of you seen her?"
"No." Matt responded.
"I hope she's okay." Yolie said to no one.
"Maybe we should go look for her again..." Sora suggested.
"That won't be necessary." A voice spoke form the doorway into the apartment.
The group looked to the door and saw that Mimi had arrived unnoticed during all the excitement. And what took them all by surprise was who was with her.
"Mimi is that?" Izzy asked.
"Yep." Mimi said happily. "Everyone meet Rosemon. Palmon's mega form."
"Mimi that's amazing!" The group said happily while congratulating her and Rosemon.
Kari walked back into the room and looked shocked at seeing Rosemon. "Mimi is that?"
"Yep." Mimi said with a smile.
"Wow congratulations." Kari said as she went over to Ken and gave him the medicine for Davis and Tai.
Mimi finally seeing Davis's and Tai's conditions let out a gasp and rushed over to the both of them.
"What happened to them?" Mimi asked.
"Tai was attacked by a LadyDevimon, and Davis saved three little kids from a BlackGreymon's attack." Ken explained to her.
"Why are all these digimon here anyways?"She asked.
"That is why I have come here to talk to you all about." Gennai said to them all getting their attentions.
"Gennai do you know what's going on?" Tai asked.
"I know a bit, but I think your friend Takato is the one that knows the most about this." Gennai replied.
"What do you mean?" Matt asked.
"Last night Takato told Azulongmon and myself that you all had encounters with creatures that all pretty much told you all that you were all doomed. You wouldn't know next part because he says that he didn't tell you, but the creature he encountered told him that it was going to start a war when it managed to break through the barriers to the digital world from the Dark Ocean."
"NO WAY!" The DigiDestined cried out all at once.
"I think only Takato knew when the war was going to begin because he seemed very worried and in a rush. The last I saw him was when I showed him where the last two crests have been hidden."
"You mean there are two more crests we didn't know about?" Izzy asked.
"Yes years ago the other guardians and I experimented on the digital hazard trying to extract it's power to create a digimon that would be able to help the sovereigns maintain the digital world. The digital hazard however became corrupt and we were forced to seal it inside a crest, and we had to create a crest of the exact opposite to counteract it's power." Gennai explained.
"But why reveal there existence now?" Matt asked.
"Takato told us that the creature Tai had encountered had told him that only if all the DigiDestined were to bring out all of the crests traits from within them would we be able to win this war. That would include those two crests as well."
"So he went to go get them?" Izzy asked.
"Yes and I am quiet certain that he has been chosen to be the bearer of the crest of Hazard and the crest of Harmony."
"Two crests!?" Izzy said in amazement.
"Yes but me and Azulongmon think Takato and Guilmon may have engaged the Nightmare Soldiers to prevent to many of them from entering the real world." Gennai explained finally getting to where he wanted to get to in the conversation.
"WHAT!?" They shouted in alarm as their eyes bulged out of there sockets. Davis sat bolt up right on the sofa at hearing this.
"We've gotta go and help him!" Davis said as he struggled to his feet.
"Davis you're hurt! Don't stress yourself to much." Kari said as she tried to get Davis to lay back down.
"There were a lot of Nightmare Soldiers throughout the city, so that would be nothing compared to how many of them Takato and Guilmon are probably holding off from entering the real world. If I'm like this he must be..." Davis didn't finish but everyone seemed to understand what he was going to say.
"Let's go." Tai said as he walked over to his family's computer.
"Right we can't just leave him to die there." T.K. Said as he went over to the computer and took out his D3 and held it up to the monitor.
*****In the digital world*****
The DigiDestined and Gennai emerged in a trench inbetween two mountains. The sound of an intense battle raging not far from them.
"Listen I would really like to stay and help you all, but the news Izzy has informed me of requires me to speak with Azulongmon urgently." Gennai explained to the DigiDestined.
"Right." Tai replied. "We'll all meet up at your place after we're done here."
"Okay. Be careful the Nightmare Soldiers are relentless." Gennai said as he turned and left.
The DigiDestined then hurried to where the noise was coming from and froze in pure horror and shock.
Hundreds and Hundreds of digimon were surrounding a knight in white armor with a red torn to tatters cape.
"Who is that?" They asked in awed amazement, at the knight.
"That must be Takato and Guilmon in their Bio-merged form" Izzy stated.
"I know that type of a digimon anywhere." Agumon said as he looked at Gallantmon. "He's a Royal Knight." Agumon stated.
"A Royal Knight?" Matt asked.
"Yes just like Omnimon." Gabumon responded.
"Takato never said his digimon's mega form was a Royal Knight..." Tai said impressed.
"Icy Cudgel!"
"Shadow Scythe!"
"Necro Magic!"
"Cable Crusher!"
An explosion erupted where Gallantmon had been standing and when the smoke from the attacks cleared away Gallantmon was on his knees ready to collapse.
"IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT!" Gallantmon shouted in the dual voices of both Takato and Guilmon. "IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT MORE THAN THAT TO BEAT ME!" Gallantmon shouted causing Kari, Mimi, Sora, and Yolie's eyes to water a bit. He was so brave they thought. Sacrificing his own life to prevent the Nightmare Soldiers from entering the real world, and this real world wasn't even his home, showing just how selfless he was.
"Terror Destroyer!"
"Crimson Lightning!"
Another explosion. Gallantmon struggled to get up from where he was now laying on the ground.
"THAT'S IT!" Tai said enraged as the Nightmare Soldiers went in for the kill. "Matt we've gotta get Omnimon out there Gallantmon can't take much more of this."
"Right." Matt agreed. "Ken, Davis we'll need Imperialdramon as well."
"Alright." Ken and Davis agreed.
"Agumon warp digivolve to! WarGreymon!"
"Gabumon warp digivolve to! MetalGarurumon!"
"Veemon digivolve to! Ex-Veemon!"
"Wormon digivolve to! Stingmon!"
"WarGreymon!"
"MetalGarurumon!"
"DNA digivolve to! Omnimon!"
"Ex-Veemon!"
"Stingmon!"
"DNA digivolve to! Paildramon! Paildramon mega digivolve to! Imperialdramon!"
"Alright we've gotta take out these Nightmare Soldiers but getting Takato to safety is more important." Tai said to the others.
"Right." They agreed.
"If you think Omnimon can hold his own for a while me and Davis can go and get Gallantmon. Then we can all get out of here and meet up with Gennai at his place" Ken suggested.
"Sounds good." Tai, Matt, and Omnimon agreed.
"Now lets get out there before it's to late." Imperialdramon said.
"Right." Omnimon said as he jumped up into the air towards the Nightmare Soldiers. "Supreme Cannon!" Omnimon shouted as he aimed his cannon at a group of DarkTyranomon.
"Positron Laser!" Imperialdramon shouted as he took off into the air and blasted some Nightmare Soldiers into oblivion.
"Shadow scythe!" A Phantomon shouted somewhere off in the distance from Omnimon and Imperialdramon.
"AAAHHHH!" Gallantmon shouted as the attack hit him in his chest. Gallantmon began phasing in and out of focus. He had finally reached his limit. An unconscious Takato and Guilmon demerged and lied still on the ground.
"Now it's time to finish you off." The Phantomon said as it approached Takato and Guilmon. "I'm going to make you regret ever being born."
"DAVIS, KEN! GET OVER THERE!" Tai shouted in urgency from Omnimon's left shoulder.
"RIGHT!" They called back as Imperialdramon picked up more speed as he flew to where Takato and Guilmon where.
"Shadow scy-"
"THINK AGAIN!" Imperialdramon shouted as he flew towards them. "POSITRON LASER!" Imperialdramon shouted as a beam of energy emitted from the cannon on his back deleting the Phantomon and countless other digimon along with him.
Davis and Ken jumped down from Imperialdramon as they reached the place where Takato and Guilmon were laying unconscious and rushed towards them.
"Davis go and see if Guilmon's alright, I'll see if Takato's okay!" Ken said urgently as he knelt down besides Takato.
"Right!" Davis responded. 'How am I supposed to know if he's okay...? I'm not a doctor for digimon...' Davis thought to himself as he knelt down beside Guilmon.
"Takatomon Impmon's eating all my bread and he's not sharing any of it..." Guilmon winned in his sleep causing Davis to sweat drop.
"Guilmon's okay!" Davis called over to Ken. "He's just sleeping!"
Ken only nodded as he felt Takato's pressure points to check for a pulse.
Davis watched as Ken seemed to get nervous and began double checking the pressure points he had already checked.
"Ken what's up?!" Davis called over to Ken.
"I'M NOT GETTING A PULSE!" Ken shouted in a combination of desperation, worry, anger, and sadness.
"WHAT!?" Davis shouted in shock as he hurried back over to Ken and push him out of the way. Davis put his head to Takato's chest and listened for a heart beat. Nothing. "HE'S NOT BREATHING!"
"GET OUT OF THE WAY DAVIS!" Ken shouted as he pushed Davis out of his way. Ken throw his left leg over Takato and parted Takato's lips.
"What are you doing?" Davis asked.
"I'm going to try and revive him you idiot." Ken responded. Usually he wouldn't refer to anyone as idiot or any other insulting name, but he didn't have time to waste on Davis's stupid questions right now.
Ken lowered his lips to Takato's and began blowing air into his lungs in a desperate attempt to bring him back.
*****Within Takato's mind*****
Takato was laying on the ground within the confines of his mind. His mind had always been a dark place but now it was like looking at nothingness. Takato shivered as he began to feel very cold. What was happening to him...? Could he really be dying...? Takato's consciousness answered that question when he began to get tired and could barely keep his eyes opened.
"I hope... That at least... I gave Gennai and Azulongmon...enough time to come... up with... a plan... to... to... to... t-..." And with that last thought there was nothing.
*****With Omnimon, Tai, and Matt*****
"Transcended sword!" Omnimon shouted as he sliced about a dozen Devidramon's in half.
"Way to go Omnimon!" Matt cheered.
"Let's go see how Ken and Davis are doing." Tai said as he looked over towards where they had flew off to. Tai's eyes widened in fear as he saw a desperate Ken giving an unresponsive Takato CPR. "No..." Tai said in disbelief.
"I'LL MAKE YOU ALL PAY FOR THIS INJUSTICE!" Omnimon shouted in rage as he too saw the scene before him. "SUPREME CANNON!" Omnimon shouted as he fired his cannon at groups of digimon at random deleting them on contact.
Tai and Matt were forced to hold on to Omnimon for dear life as he took off towards another group of digimon and slashed at them with his sword.
Tai and Matt couldn't believe it. Takato? Dead? It couldn't be. It just couldn't be. He had seemed so strong, surely he couldn't have been killed so easily...
*****With Ken and Davis*****
"Ken it's to late!" Davis said as he noticed how the digimon were beginning to overrun them. "He's gone! We've gotta go!"
"I WON'T EXCEPT THAT DAVIS!" Ken shouted. "NOW HELP ME GET HIM ON IMPERIALDRAMON." Ken said as he got up and carefully lifted Takato's upper half up.
"Alright." Davis replied as he lifted Takato's legs up.
The two carried Takato's body over to Imperialdramon and hoisted him onto him before climbing on themselves.
"Alright Imperialdramon lets go pick up Guilmon and get out of here." Ken instructed as he again started giving Takato CPR.
"Okay, hold on." Imperialdramon said as he lifted up off of the ground, and took off into the air. He dived back down and picked up a still unconscious Guilmon with his front left claw, before he took off back to where the rest of the DigiDestined were, Omnimon, Tai, and Matt joining them on the way.
Once they reached the others they had everyone climb onto either Omnimon or Imperialdramon before they destroyed the D-Terminal so that the Nightmare Soldiers wouldn't be able to use it to enter the real world. Then they took off searching for a safe place to rest.
Tai looked over to Ken who was still desperately trying to revive Takato. "How is he?" Tai asked hoping not to hear any bad news.
Ken only shock his head in defeat as he sat back and looked at the others.
"Guys I think I see Gennai down there." Imperialdramon said to them all. "Should I take us down?" He asked.
"Yeah, we need to tell him what's happened." Matt replied.
"Okay, hold on you guys." Imperialdramon said as he began to head towards the ground.
As they got closer the group could make out the figure of Gennai motioning for them to land.
When they finally did Gennai made his way over to them. "How many are there?" He asked as they reached them.
"Hundreds maybe even thousands." T.K. Replied.
"Then it's as we feared..." Gennai said to himself. "Azulongmon has asked me to ask you all for your help." Gennai stated as he looked at them all. "We've managed to round up some digimon to help fight the Nightmare Soldiers, but they'd have a much better chance of beating them if you were there to lead them."
"You can count me in." Tai said as he looked towards Takato's body. "They've gotta pay for what they've done."
Gennai not having noticed Takato took on a look of shock and worry as he rushed over to Takato. "Is he okay?" He asked.
"He's..." Ken started to say but found he couldn't manage to say it.
"He's gone..." Matt finished for Ken.
Gennai picked Takato's limp body up from where it laid on Imperialdramon and walked away and into one of the many tents that were spread around the area.
The DigiDestined looked at each other questioningly not knowing if they should follow him or not.
*****In the Southern Quadrant's Real World*****
A boy with hair and wearing black sunglasses, a blue shirt with yellow sleeves, a yellow fingerless glove with a blue strap on it on the left hand, tan cargo shorts, and red nikes.
The boy was staring out of his window at the emense fog that was forming. He could recognize that kind of fog anywhere. After all that very same fog is where his best friend had come from a while back. He could remember it like it was only yesterday.
*****Flashback*****
That day had started off as normal as any other day. The boy known as Ryan FitzGerald was woken up by his alarm clock to get ready for school. He got up took a shower, got changed into his school clothes, brushed his teeth and heeded downstairs to the kitchen. There he was greeted by his mother who gave him a plate of eggs and bacon she had made for him and herself for breakfast. Ryan's father who was in the military had been sent oversees and was now M.I.A.
Ryan and his mother were horrified when they got the news and hadn't really gotten much better since then.
Ryan ate his breakfast in silence that morning and then left for school. As always when Ryan got to school he quickly found his small group of friends at their usual hang out off to the side of the school under a large oak tree.
"Hey guys what's up." Ryan said to his friends as he arrived.
"Hey man what took you?" His one friend asked.
"Yeah, the bells gonna ring soon." Another one of his friends commented.
"Oh. Guess I must've been walking slow today." Ryan responded.
"Lucky you had been." Another one of his friends commented.
"Really why?" Ryan asked.
"Butch was looking all over for you." The same friend replied.
Ryan gulped at this news. Butch the school bully. Obviously he was mad about something because he only went after his favorite victims when he was truly angry about something.
That's right. Ryan FitzGerald was Butch's punching bag made human. Whenever Butch got pissed Ryan would end up going home with a black eye, a boody nose, or some other badly bruised body part.
Ryan peeked out from behind the tree to where Butch and his friends usually hang out before school. Sure enough Butch was skulking around his friends looking as though he could truly kill someone.
"I take it he failed the Biology exam?" Ryan asked his friends as he turned back towards them.
"With incredible ease." They all replied trying to repress their laughter.
The bell rang at that precise moment and they all got up and headed for their classes. It was going to be a long day for Ryan. He not only needed to worry about his geometry exam today but now he needed to worry about avoiding Butch as well.
Seven and a half hours later Ryan was walking home having succeeded in both passing his exam and avoiding Butch as well. He turned the corner which lead to his house when all of a sudden he felt someones arms rap around him and pull him into an ally way.
"HEY LET GO!" Ryan shouted as he struggled against the attacker.
"Not until you get yours for making me fail that Biology exam FitzGerald." Butch's enraged voice responded.
"How's it my fault you failed!?" Ryan half asked half shouted.
"YOU KNEW I WAS COPYING YOUR EXAM SO YOU FAKED YOUR ANSWERS!" He responded as he pulled Ryan further into the ally.
"I DID NOT!" Ryan shouted in outrage. It was a lie. He and his friends had planned this for two whole months, knowing that if Butch failed one more exam he wouldn't be able to pass the grade and move on with them to the high school. Meaning they wouldn't have to put up with him for a whole year.
"SHUT UP! I KNOW YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE TO BLAME FOR THIS! YOU KNEW IF I DIDN'T PASS THAT EXAM I'D FAIL THE GRADE!" Butch shouted as he pushed Ryan to the ground.
"Are you sure your not paranoid?" Ryan asked cursing himself for doing so. This was not a good time to joke around. He knew better than anyone not to provoke an already angry bear, but it seemed he was already going to get it anyways.
"WHY YOU LITTLE!" Butch dived towards Ryan who tried to roll away but wasn't quick enough as Butch's body pinned him to the ground. Butch pulled back his right hand and WAM! Right in the face.
"AHH!" Ryan shouted in pain as he felt blood oozing from his nose.
"DON'T BE A SISSY!" Butch shouted as he again raise his right fist into the air. BAM! Right in the gut.
Ryan wretched in pain as his arms desperately tried to find a means of escape.
"YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" Butch stated as he saw how Ryan arms where trying to pull him out from under his weight.
Ryan desperately looked around trying to find any possible ways of getting out of this.
A fog burst into existence a few feet from them. Ryan despite the situation he was in found it very unusual for a fog to just burst into existence like that. Butch however seemed to be to preoccupied with beating the living shit out of him to notice the fogs abrupt appearance.
Butch again rose his fist into the air at the same moment a figure became visible in the fog. Butch's fist came shooting down toward Ryan's face. Ryan closed his eyes bracing himself for the punch...one second...two seconds...three seconds...four seconds...five seconds...six seconds, surely Butch's fist should've made contact by now, unless he had had a change of heart which was very unlikely.
Ryan opened his eyes and instantly froze in shock. A blue creature that was standing on two feet with three claws on each foot, a blue tail, and two hands with four fingers and a thumb on each of them complete with claws was holding back Butch's fist, preventing him from attacking Ryan.
"Now this doesn't seem very nice." The creature said as it continued to hold Butch's fist back.
Butch still in complete shock that someone would have the nerve to interrupt him from beating the hell out of this idiot turned to face the person who had interrupted him.
"This is none of your business so-..." Butch cut himself off from what he was about to say when he saw just what had stopped him from punching Ryan. Butch not being able to speak out of pure terror jerked his hand out of the creature's hold and took off out of sight screaming.
"Jeeze some people are just so rude..." The creature commented before looking down at the boy he had just saved. "You okay?" It asked as it knelt down next to Ryan.
Ryan stared at it in shock as he was finally able to see it more clearly. "You...Your a Veemon...!" Ryan said in stunned amazement at what he was seeing.
"Yep. That's my name." Veemon replied.
"But how... I thought Digimon were just a T.V. Show..." Ryan said in amazement.
"Well do I look like I'm a T.V. Show?" Veemon responded.
"No...but...I need to be dreaming..." Ryan said as he rested his head back on the ground.
"Nope...This is as real as could be." Veemon said as he pinched Ryan on The arm.
"OW! What was that for!" Ryan said as he shot up into a sitting position.
"See this is real." Veemon said simply.
"Well... How'd you get here?" Ryan asked.
"I'mm...! Not really sure..." Veemon confessed.
"Well I guess I owe you for helping me." Ryan said as he got up onto his feet. "Why don't you come with me to my house and we can get something to eat." Ryan offered.
"Alright I am hungry now that I think about it..." The Veemon said as he and Ryan headed off to Ryan's house.
*****End of Flashback*****
The two of them became fast friends after that and soon a digivice appeared before them symboling their partnership.
Ryan introduced his mother to Veemon a few days after they had met and to his surprise she stated just how adorable she thought Veemon was.
It had been almost a year now since Ryan and Veemon had first met, and it seemed like he might just meet another digimon.
Veemon approached Ryan by the window and looked out at the digital field as well. "What do you think's going on?" He asked.
"I think another digimon might be entering the world." Ryan responded.
"Ryan FitzGerald and Veemon." A voice spoke from within the digital field outside of his window. "You are needed in the digital world urgently." The voice stated. "Enter this digital field so that I can bring you to the digital world." The voice finished.
"Do you think we should believe him?" Veemon asked.
"Well Veemon... It's not every day that we hear a voice summoning us to the digital world..." Ryan said as he opened his window and prepared to jump out. "You coming?" Ryan asked as he looked back at Veemon who hadn't moved from where he was standing.
"Yep. You think I'd miss the chance for an adventure." Veemon said as he jumped out of the window along with Ryan.
If only they knew what kind of adventure awaited them in the digital worlds ancient and merely completely forgotten past.

End of chapter 6
T4L: Wow I'm finally finished.
Terriermon: Wow! Now I see what you ment when you said this chapter would be worth the wait.
T4L: Yeah this chapter was probably my longer chapter yet.
Rika: So what. You probably just throw a lot of filler stuff in it.
T4L: Nope... Everything I put in this chapter were things I thought needed to be in the chapter, no filler stuff included.
Rika: If that's so then I'm impressed.
Terriermon: Maybe that means someday you'll be as good a writer as Daneel Rush.
T4L: Give me a break... That's an impossible goal.
Takato: Did somebody say Daneel Rush?
Terriermon: Yep.
Takato: I used to like that guy before he forgot about Gospel, now I'll only acknowledge him as a great writer.
T4L: You and me both Takato, but he probably did have his reasons. But anyways hope you all enjoyed this chapter and don't forget to review.
