Evil Shows His Face.
Previously on "When Destinies Collide"… Tai and Matt were arguing about whether to climb Infinity Mountain. Joe decided to climb it himself. Gomamon, Amy and her digimon Sealmon tagged along as well. About halfway up the mountain, a black gear embedded itself in the neck of a flying horse digimon named Unimon. After the attack, Unimon began attacking Joe and Amy. In an effort to save her friend, Amy transformed into Sailor Mercury. When the two were in really deep trouble, Gomamon and Sealmon digivolved into Ikkakumon and Walrainmon. Using their 'Harpoon Torpedo' and 'Raining Harpoon' attacks, they hit Unimon, giving Sailor Mercury a clear shot to destroy the black gear. Who knew mountain climbing could be that dangerous. Ready for more? Here's the next chapter of, "When Destinies Collide"…
The rest of the gang joined Tai, Mina, Joe and Amy on Infinity Mountain. Everyone noticed that there was nothing in sight except miles of ocean. Once they noticed this, they were beginning to doubt if they will ever get home. Tai sat at the ledge, sketching something and looking through his mini telescope. The others were sitting back, resting from the long hike up.
"What ya doing Tai?" asked Agumon.
"Just making a map of the island." Tai replied. "So we'll know where we are and where we've already been."
"Yes that works in theory." Izzy said. He walked up and looked over Tai's shoulder. 'Did you say 'map' or 'mess'?" he asked.
Matt looked over as well. "No question man. You are the Dude of Doodles."
"If you follow that map, it will lead straight to a headache." Piper sighed.
"We don't need a map to know that we're lost." Joe sighed.
Suddenly the mountain began to shake. Part of the path leading back down was crushed, therefore trapping the kids. On the other side was a tall lion digimon named Leomon. The digimon said that Leomon is friendly and peaceful. But the look in Leomon's eyes said otherwise. The kids turned around and ran. Leomon following them. As they were coming to another path, another digimon named Ogremon appeared. Now the kids were trapped. As the two digimon prepared to attack the kids, their digivices began glowing. As well as the symbols of the Sailor Scouts appearing on the girls' foreheads.
Greymon, Dobermon, Garurumon, Bengalmon, and Togemon went to battle Leomon. While Birdramon, Falconmon, Kabuterimon, Thundramon, Ikkakumon, and Walrainmon went to battle Ogremon. The group of 11 champion digimon were fighting their hardest to protect their human friends. The kids were behind a boulder just to be safe.
Up above stood a tall, lean, black humanoid looking digimon. He was observing the great teamwork demonstrated by the digimon down below. He also noticed that Patamon hasn't yet digivolved.
Just as the digimon were about to attack all together, a rockslide hit. Instead of attacking the enemy, the digimon attacked the falling rocks, so they wouldn't crush the kids. After the dust cleared, the digimon were back to their rookie forms. The digimon were just too exhausted to fight on. So the kids decided to keep on walking, in hopes of finding somewhere to stay.
As the sun was setting, the kids still marveled how their digimon could digivolve twice in one single day.
"Maybe the digimon are getting stronger. I wonder if that's a normal part of their evolution?" Lita wondered.
"A fascinating hypothesis." Izzy said. "I wonder if we could test it?"
"I think today was too much for them." Matt said, noticing how run down Gabumon looked.
"Matt's right. We can test our theories later. Right now the important thing is letting our digimon get their strength back." Piper said
"She is right. I mean look at them." Rini said, noticing all of the digimon slowing down.
"We need to stop and rest. Not just for us but for the digimon as well." Reye voted.
The kids nodded in agreement. Joe sighed and then shouted. "Look over there!" all the kids turned to see a huge mansion/hotel not far off in the distance. They ran for it and went inside. It seemed pretty normal on the inside as well as outside. TK and Rini noticed a picture of an Angel on the back wall. Rini made the comparison that their digimon partners were similar to guardian angels.
Once the digimon were inside, they caught the smell of food. Gabumon led the way. Patamon was staring in awe at the angel picture, then ran to catch up with the others. The kids and digimon found the dining room and a table decked in food.
"Sorry to say this everyone, but this looks like a setup." Matt spoke up.
"Matt's right. For all we know this could be a trap." Piper agreed.
The digimon never answered jut went straight to eating. After a few minutes the kids began to chow down as well.
After dinner, the kids found the bathing areas and began to clean up. The boys were bathing with their digimon, all except for Gabumon, who seemed a bit shy.
On the other side the girls were relaxing. They could hear the boys loud and clear. Gomamon floated in front of them startling them. "Get back to the boys' side Gomamon!" shouted Sealmon as she threw a huge wave over the wall, with Gomamon caught in it. The girls heard a shocked scream and a splash. They burst out laughing.
After the relaxing baths, the kids grabbed some nice silk robes and found a room containing 14 beds. The kids were excited and immediately jumped on the one they were gonna sleep on. Once they were settled in, the pain of missing home hit them hard and fast. They also began wondering if they ever will get back home. "Night guys." "Night girls." The kids laid down and slowly drifted off to sleep.
During the middle of the night, Tai and Agumon were making their way to the bathroom. On their way back to bed, Ogremon attacks them. As Tai is running to warn the others Leomon appears and blocks Tai's way. That's when a dark voice comes out of nowhere. On the opposite side of Tai and Agumon, stood the same evil humanoid digimon from before.
"Agumon who is that?" Tai asked.
"That's Devimon, the digimon that invented the nightmare." Agumon replied.
The digimon known as Devimon smirked and suddenly, the building disappeared, scaring the kids out of their sleep. Devimon used his powers to scatter the children to different parts of the island, separating them making them weaker. That's when Devimon reveals to the kids that the food, bath, and building were nothing but an illusion. Using his powers, he dismembered the island and scattering the kids along with it. Devimon also reveals his intentions, he says that the kids are the legendary DigiDestined sent to defeat him and save the digi world. Tai was saying that all they were, were just some kids at summer camp who got sucked into the digi world.
Leomon showed up and said that he would destroy the DigiDestined. The lion digimon pushed Agumon out of the way and reached to strangle Tai. Mina saw this, she grabbed her bag and jumped, transforming into Sailor Venus. She used her 'Love chain' to grab Leomon's arm. "If you want to hurt Tai, you'll have to get through me first!" she ranted.
Leomon roared and pulled his arm back, sending Sailor Venus flying into Tai. The two kids looked up at the huge lion digimon in front of them. He had his sword drawn and was ready to use it, when Tai and Venus' digivices glowed. The light drove out a shadow. Apparently Leomon was being controlled by Devimon.
In order to apologize for his actions, Leomon used his sword to break away where Tai and Venus were, away from Devimon. Sailor Venus and Tai watched as Leomon grew smaller and smaller as they drifted further and further out to sea. Away from their friends.
Devimon watched as the island pieces floated further apart. Each containing one of the DigiDestined kids. Beside him stood Ogremon and a now again brainwashed Leomon.
Man the kids can't seem to catch a break. Is this the end of them? Find out what happens in the next chapter of, "When Destinies Collide"…
