The Unknown Returns

Time to Fight

The group stared at the glowing boy as he griped his fiancée's hand.  The boy turned and looked at them and smiled. "Ha! You guys look like you've seen a ghost," he said, his voice sounding light but contained an age unachievable by humans. He stepped forward until he was face to face with Tai. T.k leaned over and whispered to him. "I knew you could figure it out." He then turned his attention to his older brother who was still looking at him as though he had two heads. "What's the matter? Did I grow another head?" T.k asked as he looked at his brother. Matt just stared at him 'It worked, He's alive!' He thought as he looked at him.  Matt didn't say a word; he just took a step towards T.k and hugged him.

"I thought I lost you there for a minute" Matt said as he hugged his brother.

"You can't lose me even if you tried!" T.k said jokingly. Their hug parted and T.k looked at the rest of the group and smiled at them. "Thanks to all of you, it's because of you guys that I'm standing here now. But now's not the time for chitchat, we've got an evil to beat!" He said as they all cheered. All accept Davis anyway; he just stood there looking at T.k as if he was joking.

"You're kidding me right? Look T.k I had to watch you die once, do you have any idea what that's like? Watching your best friend die? And we just went though some weird merging thing to bring you back just so you can die again? I don't think so." He said as he looked at his best friend. T.k thought of this a moment 'I forgot Davis was the one that brought my body back here; it must have been tough for him. But things are different now.' T.k smiled at him.

"Davis did I say I was going to fight? No I said we are going to fight, as a team." T.k said as he turned to Ken and Kari who were standing behind him. "But it's you two who I'm going to need more than ever, your inner powers have been awakened, and as a team we can beat him."

"We're with you T.k, you know you can count on us," Kari said in a very calm tone. Her voice had also changed similar to T.k's and her body glowed a scintillating white. Her eyes filled with love as she looked at her fiancé.

"I know you're with me Kari but let's leave Ken opinions to him okay?" T.k said returning her loving gaze. He then turned to Ken and looked at the boy calmly, 'He has to say yes because if he doesn't than his power will retreat from him and we'll have no chance of beating him at all.'  "Well Ken are you with us? We need you to believe in yourself more than ever now to keep your power strong. Your kindness is your greatest ally, just believe in it and your powers will stay by your side, uncorrupted by evil and darkness. So how about it?" he finished. He knew he was putting a lot of pressure on Ken but it was necessary to make him realize the importance of his involvement. 

Ken looked at his revived friend and thought through his words, he felt some form of inner strength that he had never felt before and for once he felt as if no evil could ever use him again. He looked at his hands and noticed a glow, similar to T.k and Kari's except it was a light pinkish color. He thought through T.k's words again. 'The others are depending on me now, I owe it to them not to let them down.' "I'm with you. Let's kick some evil butt." He said as he looked at T.k and Kari and smiled. They smiled back at him.

"Um… sorry to interrupt, but Devilamon is a mega so how exactly are we supposed to fight him with only a team of champions? I mean… We just don't have the firepower needed to win." Joe said as he looked around the group. T.k just looked at him and grin knowingly.

"We just have to look inside." He said as he looked at group. He looked at Kari and Ken and they nodded silently agreeing with him. They followed him as he walked over to the platform that contained the order of destiny. T.k stood in front of it and put his hands on the cold stone. Kari moved to stand at his right and Ken to his left, they too put their hands on the stone.  The three each closed their eyes. The symbols on the pedestal glowed softly before bursting into scintillatingly bright colored lights. The symbols rose from their spots on the platform and spun in the air in front of the three, before speeding off in the direction of the group of adults. The symbols start to float in random patterns around the person the belong to, their power causing the person's digivice to glow and float in front of their respective digidestined. The symbols then plunged into the digivices, causing them to scream to life. The symbols then reemerged and floated in front of the digidestined. They then floated and rested on their chests causing a familiar feeling of inner power in the older digidestined but for the newer digidestined this was a whole new feeling of power, though not an unpleasant one.  The symbols then dimmed as they sprouted what looked like chains that wound their way around the necks of the digidestined. With one last burst of bright light the glowing ceased allowing the group to see what had happened.

Tai looked down at his chest and looked at the familiar object that once again adorned his neck. He placed his hand on his crest and looked over at the others. The older digidestined looked at each other and nodded. Sora and Mimi stepped in front of the group with their digimon at their sides. They held their digital devices out in front of them. "Digivolve!" They said in unison.

"Palmon digvolved to… Togemon!"

"Togemon digivolved to… Lilymon!"

"Byomon digivolved to… Birdramon!"

"Birdramon digivolved to… Garudamon!"

In the place where once stood a small walking cactus and a small bird now stood a flower pixie and a large warrior of the sky. Sora and Mimi both looked at their digimon, neither saying a word but both feeling a pride and happiness deep in their hearts.

Yolie looked at the two digimon in awe, She had never thought that two digimon such as Byomon, the small cute bird, and Palmon, the beauty loving plant digimon, could have turned into such powerful beings. She watched as Izzy and Joe stepped up beside Sora and Mimi. They too held their digivices toward their digimon partners. The digimon automatically started their digivolution.

"Tentomon digivolved to…Kabuterimon!"

"Kabuterimon digivolved to… Megakabuterimon!"

"Gomamon digivolved to… Ikkakumon!"

"Ikkakumon digivolved to… Zudomon!"

Cody watched as his predecessor's digimon transformed to their ultimate stages, clearly impressed that such harmless looking digimon could contain such power. Matt and Tai looked at each other but stood in their original places while they raised their digivices to their digimon. "It's our turn guys! Warp-digivolve!" Two beams of light shot from their digivices and hit their digimon partners.

"Augumon warp digivolved to… Wargreymon!"

"Gabumon warp digivolved to… Metalgarurumon!"

Davis stood in awe as the two powerful megas finished their digivolutions. Though he had seen Wargreymon before when they were younger, he was still impressed as he looked at the firepower that they had gained from the original digidestined alone. As he gazed at the collection of digimon, he felt it was time he and the others added what they could. He turned so he faced the small group of newer digidestined. "Well I guess it's our turn guys, lets do it!" The others nodded 

Veemon, Hawkmon, Amadillomon and Wormmon each stood by their respective partners, Veemon looked up at Davis. "We're ready when you are Davis!"

"Then let's do it!" Davis cried as he raised his digivice. Yolie and Cody following suite.

"Digi-armor energize!!!" They said in unison as their digimon partners began their transformations.

"Veemon armor digivolve to…. Flamedramon! The fire of Courage!"

"Hawkmon armor digivolve to…. Shurimon! The samurai of Sincerity! "

"Armadillomon armor digivolve to…. Digmon! The drill of knowledge!"     

"Wormmon digivolve to…. Stingmon!"

Now, where once stood a small bird, and armadillo, a caterpillar and a small blue dragon type digimon, stood four powerful warriors.

Devilamon watched from his original position, rage enveloping him. ' Will I never be rid of that meddlesome child of hope! It appears that he can even escape death! All because of his friends!'  He thought. He knew that even though the digidestined had the returned power of their crests they were still no match for him, for he was unstoppable!  His rage finally won the upper hand as he concentrated his power to attack the golden shield that had enveloped the group of digidestined. The shield wavered but held as he fired yet another attack at it, causing the ground to shake from the releasing energy.

T.k could feel the tremors in the ground as Devilamon fought to get at the digidestined. He turned and looked at the oversized fiend in thought. 'I will end this Devilamon,' He turned to look at his beloved fiancée ' Then, finally, my friends, family and soul will have rest…' He turned his attention back to the digimon as he felt the shield waver. Matt and Tai walked up to stand beside him, their crests glimmering as the shone with inner power. T.k didn't turn to look at them, because he already knew what was on their mind. After all these years they are finally able to help again, and not as their weaker selves but as the strong leaders they had once been. They stood there, as they seemed to radiate with the powerful light that had been lost to them for the past twelve years.  " The shield won't hold much longer," He turned to Tai in worry. " Tai, we have to be careful. He's stronger then ever now and he's out for vengeance." He then turned his attention beck to the attacking digimon. " This ends now…" He whispered as the shield gave one last waver.
