Chapter 9: DarkKnightmon's Plan: A Dragon's Dark Heart.
The following morning we woke up before sunrise, though it was hard to tell since Rhine Stone City had no source of outside light. When we walked outside the cave, the sun's rays felt bright from being in the cave, and the three of us shielded our eyes for a moment.
"Come on." Shoutmon told me. He & Gumdramon both digivolved and we headed back to Dragon Land, giving one last look at Canyon Land before flying off. Upon arrival, I glanced down to see Dorbickmon walking towards the mountains.
"Shoutmon! Look down!"
He looked down and saw Dorbickmon as well, as did Arresterdramon.
"Alright, let's go!" he yelled and descended downward. We landed right in front of Dorbickmon, who upon seeing us gave us a sharp glare.
"You...!"
"Thought you could lose us?" OmegaShoutmon asked. Dorbickmon got into a battle stance.
"You're damned persistent! That's it! I've let you live long enough!"
OmegaShoutmon stood in front of us shouting, "If you want him, then you'll have to go through me first!"
"So be it!" Dorbickmon growled. Both he and OmegaShoutmon charged at each other, but before they could exchange fists, an explosion occurred in the mountains.
"What the-?!" we looked back to see smoke coming out of the center of the mountains, recognizing the location immediately.
"That's Dorbickmon's-!" my sentence was cut off when Dorbickmon jumped over us and ran towards the source.
"Hey!" OmegaShoutmon yelled. Arresterdramon glanced over to see me following Dorbickmon.
"Carlos!" Arresterdramon exclaimed.
They're attacking Dorbickmon's home... the thought appeared as the chase to try and keep up with the huge dragon began.
Dorbickmon ran towards the entrance of the three trails. He took the center route and ran through the trail.
You'll regret trespassing in MY domain! he thought. The drake arrived to see smoke coming out of the entrance to his home. The sight of it filled him with anger.
"Show yourself you miserable coward!" he yelled as he looked around. Before he could notice, something struck him in the back of the neck, hitting a nerve.
"Guh...!" he fell to the floor unconscious.
"Excellent..."a sinister voice uttered.
I ran into the center trail as fast as possible. The long run had nearly exhausted me, since my heart was beating faster to deal with the sudden rush of energy. Arriving at the sight, Dorbickmon was on the floor unconscious.
"Dorbickmon!"
Before being able to run up to him, another Digimon appeared in front of Dorbickmon. He picked the drake up, putting the unconscious dragon on his back.
"W-who are you?!"
He merely turned to look at me, uttering a single sentence, "...the one who will bring this world to its knees..."
As fast as he appeared, the digimon vanished in a dark light, taking Dorbickmon with him.
"Carlos!" OmegaShoutmon yelled as he and Arresterdramon arrived at the scene. I glanced back at them.
"You've got to stop running off like that!" he told me. For a second my gaze was fixed on the ground, then it turned back to the smoke.
"What's wrong? Where's Dorbickmon?" Arresterdramon asked.
"...he was taken..."
"By who?!" OmegaShoutmon exclaimed.
"...by a dark knight." the two were informed. OmegaShoutmon's face widened with shock.
"N-no..." he muttered. The king had doubts when we overheard Gravimon and Dorbickmons conversation, but he now realized it was real.
"He's back..." he muttered.
In another undisclosed location, Dorbickmon groaned as he awoke from his slumber.
"Urgh...what...?" he rose to his feet and looked around to get a sense of where he was, recognizing the barren wasteland, "This is..."
"So you have awoken..." the sinister voice uttered. Dorbickmon quickly turned and upon seeing the digimon, snarled viciously.
"You...!"
"It's been a while...Dorbickmon the Fire-Fury." it responded.
"Dragon Breath Tonic Fire!" Dorbickmon took no time to think as he shot two blasts of fire at the digimon. However, it vanished before the attack made impact.
"Grr! Show your damned face DarkKnightmon!" Dorbickmon roared. He felt a cold hand touch his shoulder.
"Your anger...it boils up inside you..." DarkKnightmon muttered. Dorbickmon circled around to hit him, but DarkKnightmon jumped over him and landed a few feet away. Dorbickmon kept his glare of anger fixed at the knight.
"You harbor revenge in you...revenge directed at me, is it not?" DarkKnightmon chuckled evilly. Dorbickmon snarled as he got into a battle stance.
"Hmph, I see words will be ineffective against you..." DarkKnightmon muttered, as he prepared himself, "Very well, it will be much more satisfying breaking you through action rather than words. So come Dorbickmon! Let us meet each other in battle to prove who is superior!"
The two stared each other down, Dorbickmon snarling with rage, and charged at each other.
"So DarkKnightmon has returned..." Arresterdramon muttered as the three of us thought of a way to find Dorbickmon.
"Yes, our worst enemy is alive, and there's no telling what he's planning this time..." OmegaShoutmon added.
"I see..." Arresterdramon turned to me.
"...we have to find Dorbickmon." I told them.
"How do you expect us to do that? He could be anywhere in the Seven Kingdoms!" Arresterdramon told us.
"We don't have enough time to search again." OmegaShoutmon added.
"We can't just sit here while DarkKnightmon gets his way!"
"I know that!" OmegaShoutmon brazenly responded. While we pondered ways to find DarkKnightmon and Dorbickmon, a thought came to mind.
"If DarkKnightmon is as manipulative as you say, then chances are he took Dorbickmon to a place that would only fuel Dorbickmon's anger even further. Is there a place you know that would apply?" I asked OmegaShoutmon. His eyes widened, as if he knew of such a place.
"Yes..."
"Where?"
He rose to his feet and grabbed me, placing me on his shoulder, "Quick, we don't have time to waste."
"Alright..." we responded. As we traveled, OmegaShoutmon explained his sudden thought.
"If there's one place I know that causes any negative emotions to be released, it's a crater near the mountains that separate Dragon Land from its neighbor Vampire Land. The whole area is a huge abyss surrounding a single center area. It was there before the Bagra Army was formed, before the Digital World was divided into Zones or Kingdoms, and going there fills Digimon with dark emotions. If we get there in time we might be able to stop it before Dorbickmon is influenced."
"What's it called...?" I asked him.
"Death Crater..." he grimly responded. We headed over there as fast as OmegaShoutmon and Arresterdramon could fly.
But during that time, Dorbickmon and DarkKnightmon had been fighting it out, with the latter slowly gaining the advantage.
"Dragon Breath Tonic Fire!" Dorbickmon shot out two blasts of fire that homed in on DarkKnightmon.
"Super Dimensional Ax!" DarkKnightmon cut open a hole in the digital dimension, and Dorbickmon's attack was absorbed as the hole rebuilt itself.
"Grr...!" the drake snarled. Dorbickmon rushed at him and attacked with a fury of blows, however DarkKnightmon avoided them with ease. Dorbickmon attempted another Dragon Breath Tonic Fire, but DarkKnightmon struck a blow to his gut.
"Guh...!" the drake's air was nearly punched out of him. DarkKnightmon quickly slammed his Twin Spear onto the drake. The sheer force blew Dorbickmon away as he hit the floor, groaning in pain.
"Come now...is that all the General of Flames can muster...?" DarkKnightmon taunted. Dorbickmon snarled as he rose to his feet. From the fire building in his mouth, he summoned his sword of flames.
"Tyrant Collbrande!" the drake roared, and attacked with a vertical swing. DarkKnightmon raised his spear and blocked the attack.
"How pitiful..." the knight chuckled.
"Damn...you...!" Dorbickmon snarled.
"With a performance like that, this fight will end in my favor..." DarkKnightmon prepared himself for another one of Dorbickmon's attacks.
"I'll rip you to shreds before that!" Dorbickmon roared as he charged at him yet again.
We arrived at a desolate part of the mountains. The land was rough and there was no sign of life around for miles.
"Is this it...?" I asked.
"Yes...the crater should be around here somewhere..."
The three of us split up and started searching. Arresterdramon and OmegaShoutmon took to the skies to get a better view, leaving me to look around the landscape. But there was nothing around that would help us. Eventually we got some distance between each other.
"Damn it...where is he...?"
An explosion occurred behind me, and smoke was rising out of the horizon. Since there were no digimon around, then there was only one explanation.
"That's got to be it!" I ran towards the source, completely forgetting to have called Arresterdramon or OmegaShoutmon. The huge crater matching OmegaShoutmon's description came into view, and both Dorbickmon and DarkKnightmon were situated in the center area.
"Dorbickmon!"
DarkKnightmon assaulted Dorbickmon with blows to his stomach, followed by a strong uppercut to his neck, dazing the dragon as Dorbickmon fell to the floor. He struggled to get up, and DarkKnightmon glanced over to see me running over to him.
"You ok?!"
Dorbickmon turned to look at me, "You again..."
DarkKnightmon laughed, "So the human has decided to join us...how completely predictable!"
He took out a dark Xros Loader. The screen was blood red and had yellow spikes adorned on the top, as well as two horns protruding from the sides near the top and near the bottom.
"Is that...?!"
"Carlos!" OmegaShoutmon and Arresterdramon called out, as the two were flying straight at us.
"Darkness Loader!" DarkKnightmon exclaimed. It gave out a dark burst of light as a barrier of dark energy surrounded the three of us. When OmegaShoutmon and Arresterdramon tried passing through it, both were electrocuted and blown back.
"Arresterdramon! OmegaShoutmon!"
DarkKnightmon laughed, "So Dorbickmon...do you still think you can defeat me?"
Dorbickmon snarled as he rose to his feet.
"Though it's delightful to see you squirm, perhaps I will give you a chance..." DarkKnightmon sinisterly belittled him. He threw the Darkness Loader at Dorbickmon, followed by a small data chip which emanated a dark light.
"What...?"
"That small device you see is a prototype I've been developing. It will enhance the Darkness Loaders capabilities. I've named it the Dark DigiMemory. You'll be the first one to test it Dorbickmon...that is, unless you're rejecting my offer..."
Dorbickmon gnashed his teeth as his anger swelled up inside him.
"Honestly...the great Dorbickmon becoming a human's play-toy...it speaks low of you..."
Dorbickmon started emanating a faint red aura as his rage nearly peaked.
"And even you're fellow Death Generals have turned their backs on you. They think the same way about you, that's why they reject your plan, because you're nothing to them, just a weak little dragon with no backbone..."
"Don't listen to him!" I tried to calm Dorbickmon.
"I even took the liberty of retrieving your army for you. I'm giving you a chance...use that Dark DigiMemory and show them that you're better than them. Regain your honor Dorbickmon, and show them your true fury!"
Dorbickmon remained in silence as he tilted his head down, fixing his gaze at the two objects.
"Dorbickmon, don't listen to him...he's baiting you..." I reasoned with him, but he kneeled down and grabbed both the Darkness Loader and Dark DigiMemory, causing me to place my hand on his shoulder.
"Please..."
He stayed quiet for a brief period of time, and responded in the darkest tone I've heard him speak, shocking Arresterdramon, OmegaShoutmon and myself.
"...what the hell do you know about me? I don't take orders from a mere human...but with this...I'll have one last chance...to get my revenge...and show Blue Flare...and anyone else who gets in my way! They will feel my wrath!" He pushed me away, then raised the Darkness Loader in the air.
"DigiMemory!" he inserted the chip into the Darkness Loader.
"No..."
The screen lit up and a burst of energy surged out of the Darkness Loader. It hit Dorbickmon dead on and the force of it blew me away.
"Carlos!" Arresterdramon and OmegaShoutmon exclaimed. A cage of dark energy formed around me, trapping me inside. We watched in horror as Dorbickmon yelled in pain. The energy coursed through his entire body and the dark symbol for DarkKnightmon's old army Twilight, which was delineated as a black skull with two horns coming out of its head, appeared on his forehead. The light faded as Dorbickmon glared at DarkKnightmon. I could see the darkness inside his eyes, the flame of revenge.
"Perfect..." DarkKnightmon muttered.
"Damn...it...!" OmegaShoutmon growled as he charged at the barrier.
"Omega The Fusion!" he attacked the barrier, but it electrocuted him and forced him back.
"OmegaShoutmon!"
We watched as the king continued his relentless attack, desperately trying to break it open. Looking back at Dorbickmon, he was looking into the Xros Loader.
"You're entire army's waiting..." DarkKnightmon sinisterly chuckled. Dorbickmon raised the Darkness Loader in the air.
"DigiXros!" he roared. He was engulfed in a dark aura when it faded, it revealed Dorbickmon had grown bigger. He now had a tail that resembled Fanglongmon's, right down to the diamond scale design, but it was crimson to suit his color. He also gained red dragon wings which were a shade of red and violet on the inside. Two of the spikes he had on his back were now growing out of the top of his wings. The two red poleyns on his shin guards were now replaced with a gray spike.
"Dorbickmon, Darkness Mode!"
He dashed at DarkKnightmon at an incredibly fast speed, and assaulted DarkKnightmon with a barrage of attacks. DarkKnightmon couldn't keep up and was hit full force. He grunted in pain as Dorbickmon slammed him onto the ground.
"Please stop Dorbickmon..." I muttered. DarkKnightmon fought back, but his attacks didn't even cause Dorbickmon to flinch as he glared at him.
"I'll make you suffer..." he snarled. Dorbickmon crashed his fist onto DarkKnightmon's face. DarkKnightmon hit the barrier and it in turn, electrocuted him as he yelled in pain. Dorbickmon sneered at his new-found power. He started to laugh, and it progressed from a slight chuckle to a maniacal, almost psychotic laugh.
"Dorbickmon...why...?"
"Beat Slash!" OmegaShoutmon attacked the barrier over and over again, with Arresterdramon helping, but neither of them have made a dent.
"Damn it!"
"Why won't this thing budge?!" Arresterdramon growled.
"The Darkness Loader must be what keeps it powered..."
They both pondered a way to force it open, all the while Dorbickmon was giving into the darkness.
"You're a fool DarkKnightmon! You'll regret ever handing me your most powerful weapon!" he laughed. I looked at DarkKnightmon, who wasn't even worried at all of this turn in the tide.
"You will feel my wrath..." Dorbickmon growled as he raised the Darkness Loader in the air, "Darkness Loader!"
The device emitted a burst of dark light that hit Dorbickmon, as he growled at DarkKnightmon.
"Now you'll see...DarkTyrannomon!" he roared. Dorbickmon emanated the dark light as a DarkTyrannomon appeared on the field. He was a bipedal black tyrannosaurus with white scales from his chest down. His build was very muscular, and he had two iron tipped claws on each hand, which were adorned with many brown colored belts. The last two teeth on his lower jaw were saber-toothed, and he had red stripes on his legs, as well as on both of his jaws, shoulders and down his back. There were green scales running down his head, back and down to the tip of his tail. DarkTyrannomon had cerulean colored eyes, and two gray scars on both his eyes.
"What is he planning...?" OmegaShoutmon wondered, while trying to find a way to break through the barrier.
"I'll use DarkTyrannomon as an attack to bring you down to your knees!" Dorbickmon roared.
"No! Dorbickmon, don't do it!" I exclaimed. We watched in horror as the digimon was engulfed in a dark light. DarkTyrannomon was absorbed by Dorbickmon again, and the emblem of flame on his cannons turned black.
"Dragon Breath Tonic Fire!" he roared. The drake fired a dark flame which slammed into DarkKnightmon, and upon impact, deteriorated into data.
"No..."
DarkKnightmon held his ground, but the impact pushed him back, closer to the barrier. Dorbickmon growled at the sight.
"Persistent...no matter...Salamandermon! Flarerizamon!" the dragon barked. Both digimon appeared on the field. Salamandermon resembled a red salamander with black colored eyes, and red flame patterns on his back, tail and legs. Out of his body, fire was circulation around it. His mouth looked stitched together. Flarerizamon on the other hand, was an orange lizard made of fire, with a silver helmet, red eyes and a tail. He had a huge lower jaw with fangs to match, and three claws on each hand.
"Dorbickmon, stop!" I yelled at him, but to no avail. The sight of him giving into the anger led me to try and find a way out of the cell as Dorbickmon absorbed the two digimon and repeated the process.
"Dragon Breath Tonic Fire!" the dragon roared, and fired his attack. DarkKnightmon jumped away, but the attack followed after and hit him full force. He grunted in pain, much to Dorbickmon's pleasure.
"What's wrong...? Is my power too much?" he taunted, and laughed evilly. DarkKnightmon slowly got up as Dorbickmon's hate grew even further.
"You don't learn, do you...?" he snarled.
He held the Darkness Loader in the air, "Devidramon! Gigadramon! Megadramon!"
All three of the Digimon appeared on the field. Devidramon was a black bipedal dragon with two blood red eyes on both sides of his face. He wore a few brown colored belts on his right forearm, as well as a skull tattoo on his right shoulder, with crimson claws, he had two black dragon wings on his back as well as a tail that looked like a closed claw. Gigadramon and Megadramon had a similar appearance. Both of them had no legs, so all of their lower body was a long tail, and both were aerial dragons. Their chest was muscular, with a tattoo of a skull and crossbones on their chest. Their hands were simply two missile ports closed in the shape of a claw. They wore a dark gray iron helmet on their head, and their eyes were colored yellow. Their hair was spiked back. There were differences between them. Megadramon on one hand, had navy blue dragon wings that had a few stitches near the center wings, and his hair was colored sky blue. The dragon was red orange and the color of the bottom of his tail was yellow. Gigadramon on the other hand, had metal wings with blue squares near the inside of the wings. His hair was dark blue, as was the bottom of his tail, and his skin color was gray. We witnessed Dorbickmon absorb the three and repeated his attack.
"You don't know what you're doing!" OmegaShoutmon yelled at him.
"Dorbickmon, stop!" Arresterdramon pleaded. Dorbickmon ignored us and attacked with no relent, hitting his target yet again.
"Why...? Why would you do this to your own army...?" I muttered. Despite the repeated assault, DarkKnightmon was still able to stand his ground, filling Dorbickmon with anger. He pointed the Darkness Loader at the sky one last time.
"Fanglongmon!" he roared, and my eyes widened with shock at the thought.
"No! Not him!"
"Dorbickmon! Don't go through with this!" OmegaShoutmon yelled.
"Don't betray the only comrade you have left!" Arresterdramon exclaimed. Both he and OmegaShoutmon increased their power and slammed into the barrier, but like previous attempts, they were electrocuted and forced back.
"Damn it!" OmegaShoutmon gritted his teeth in anger. Fanglongmon appeared in front of Dorbickmon as he looked around to get a view of his surroundings.
"Now Fanglongmon...I'll absorb your data so that we may end this..." Dorbickmon commanded him. Fanglongmon turned back to him, his eyes filled with astonishment. Dorbickmon merely glared at him.
"Do it...that's an order..." he snarled.
"Fanglongmon, don't listen to him!" I yelled at him. But Fanglongmon only looked down as he suffered the same fate as the others.
"No..."
"Dragon Breath Tonic Fire!" Dorbickmon roared as he fired another attack at DarkKnightmon. As the attack approached him, the knight gave a slight smirk.
"Perfect..." he muttered, "Super Dimensional Ax!"
"What?!" Dorbickmon's eyes widened with surprise. We observed as DarkKnightmon cut a hole in the dimension. Most of Dorbickmon's attack was absorbed, but it still passed through and hit DarkKnightmon with only half its power, pushing him back again.
"Fanglongmon..."
Dorbickmon laughed, "Look at you squirm! I love it! Finally the dark knight will receive his atonement!"
We watched as Dorbickmon's face turned into an evil, almost psychotic grin, but it quickly faded when we heard DarkKnightmon start laughing.
"What...?!" Dorbickmon uttered.
"Excellent...no, marvelous! You're performance is outstanding!" DarkKnightmon sneered.
"What are you babbling about?!" Dorbickmon barked.
"Your anger, your hate, your lust for revenge! You have far surpassed my expectations Dorbickmon!" the knight explained.
"What are you talking about?!" the drake barked, confused by the knight's words.
"Just look at your last attack! You used your own army as mere bullets, even sacrificing your own comrade Fanglongmon to fuel your want for vengeance!"
Dorbickmons face widened with shock, "I...!"
"You are just like me Dorbickmon. Using your own comrade, the only one you had an inch of trust in, to help your goal for revenge, and not caring what would become of him." DarkKnightmon smirked.
"I...!" Dorbickmon was in such a state a shock that his hand nearly released its grip on the Darkness Loader.
"And now it's time I, no, WE fought back!" DarkKnightmon exclaimed, "Darkness Loader!"
The screen of the device started glowing, and Dorbickmon felt his arm start moving without his control.
"My arm..." the drake attempted to fight it, "It's...!"
"Little did you know, the Dark DigiMemory allows me to control you for a brief period of time!"
"What...?!"
"Darkness Loader, Xros Open!"
The device engulfed Dorbickmon in a dark light, as the drake was forcefully reverted back into his normal form. He yelled in pain as he fell to the floor. When he rose to his feet, he was surprised to see Fanglongmon and all the other Digimon he used as bullets in front of him.
"What...?"
"Since it was a prototype, when you attacked me, you only used a fragment of their data as an attack, and now look at them. They are filled with hate, hate directed at you."
All of them, even Fanglongmon were snarling and gritting their teeth in anger. Dorbickmon took a step back as the Darkness Loader returned to DarkKnightmon. The look on his face had a hidden feeling of fear inside.
"Your own army will be the cause of your demise..." DarkKnightmon sinisterly told him. All of the digimon were absorbed by the Darkness Loader, which transferred their power into DarkKnightmon's Twin Spear. It gave off a dark light that blinded the arena. Dorbickmon watched, completely frozen in place.
"May the hatred of your army drive you to oblivion!" DarkKnightmon yelled. The accumulated energy in the Twin Spear shot out as a blast of dark flame and lightning that, upon impact, engulfed Dorbickmon in an inferno that shocked every nerve in his body as well as burning through Dorbickmon's skin.
"GRAH!" he roared in pain, which echoed through the mountain range.
"DORBICKMON!"
When it was all over, Dorbickmon's body was scorched. Fumes of smoke emanated from the inflicted areas on his body. The gruesome pain coursing through his body had him slouched over, barely able to stand.
"And now...to the victor goes his spoils...you will come with me..." DarkKnightmon laughed.
There were no words to describe the look on Dorbickmon's face. It was broken, emotionless, and filled with grief. All that pride, power and arrogance he had was gone as he stood there at the mercy of DarkKnightmon.
"No...no! I won't let it end this way!" I yelled, gripping my Xros Loader. The screen gave off a faint light that repelled the dark cage that incarcerated me. The Darkness Loader gave off a dark light that approached Dorbickmon.
"I won't let you take Dorbickmon away!" DarkKnightmon heard me yell. Looking over, he saw me running with all the strength possible. The three of them watched me step in front of Dorbickmon as the light form the Darkness Loader hit me instead. A dark feeling coursed throughout my body, filling me with pain. "Gah!"
"CARLOS!" OmegaShoutmon and Arresterdramon yell. Falling to the floor, the darkness inside was numbing my body as DarkKnightmon walked up to me.
"On second thought..." he uttered, and grabbed me, shocking Arresterdramon and OmegaShoutmon.
"What are you doing?!" OmegaShoutmon yelled.
"I will be taking the human...he could end up being of use to me..." he responded.
"No..." OmegaShoutmon snarled, "I WON'T LET YOU!"
With all his might, he attacked the barrier with Omega The Fusion, and despite the electrocution, he forced the barrier open and soared straight at us.
"Shout...mon..." I uttered as DarkKnightmon cut a hole in the dimension and jumped in, taking me with him. The faint vision of OmegaShoutmon was the last thing to see before blacking out. The portal closed behind us. OmegaShoutmon crashed his fist into the ground, but it was too late for him to do anything. DarkKnightmon was gone, and all that was left in the field was a small shard of a black diamond and my Xros Loader. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist as tightly as possible, letting out a simple yell of anger.
"Ou-sama..." Arresterdramon watched before turning back to see Dorbickmon collapse on the floor unconscious.
"Ugh..." I woke up to find my arms and legs tied in chains that radiated a dark energy. "What..?"
Looking around, there was a single torch lighting the room. It was enough to give me a hint of where DarkKnightmon had taken me. It was a dungeon of sorts in what resembled the interior of dark castle of sorts. There were two columns to provide the foundation, as well as a window a few feet over my head, illuminating the room a bit with the moon's reflection of light. The door was made of wood, with iron bars to reinforce it's security. About a few minutes later, the door opened and DarkKnightmon walked over with a fragment of a red diamond that appeared to be data, but it emanated a dark aura.
"What...is that...?"
"You will be my test subject..." DarkKnightmon muttered, shocking me.
"What...what do you mean...?!" I asked. He grinned as he got closer.
"During the Bagra Army's reign of the digital world, my brother created a virus he called Whispered. It would take control of any digimon and would cause havoc."
"And...?"
"I tried something different. I wanted to see the effects the Darkness Loader could have on data. So I extracted a fragment from a digimon, and the results were interesting..."
"So...?"
"So I decided to extract a fragment from each of the Death Generals. However I was only able to extract one from Dorbickmon before Taiki and Shoutmon showed up in Dragon Land..." he explained.
"What...does that...have to do with me...?"
"Because you will be the host. I want to see what happens to a human when a digimon's data is injected inside them..." DarkKnightmon laughed sinisterly, shocking me at the thought. I backed away from him, but the chains pinned me to the wall.
"There's no place for you to run..." he added. The dark energy drained me slowly, causing me to pass out, and as a result, making it easier for DarkKnightmon to insert the fragment.
"Dor...bick...mon..." was the final word that came out of my mouth before losing it completely.
