Altered Fate.
Part VIII.

Taiko here.
Last time things went really wrong, While Taichi met Piccolomon; I got taken to the dark network where Makuramon and Majiramon used me to open the gate to their world with.
Milleniumon about to descend to this world, and it's all my fault, his power has already caused Plotmon to become Lady Devimon and attack Taichi, Agumon and Piccolomon.
--
Utter silence, that was the first thing she noticed, the complete lack of any sounds save for her ragged breath as she shivered, from what she did not know, it couldn't be the temperature, it wasn't cold in one bit.
Pushing herself up into a sitting position, Taiko shook her head as she cracked open her eyes once, her head pounding as she did so, almost enough to send her back down onto her back. "What happened?"
"Chosen One!"
The sudden loud voice cutting through her quiet musing, and feeling much like a sledge hammer had been pounded against her back head, hard enough to shatter bones. "Stop yelling!" Still, it didn't hurt as much as her own voice did, which did send her back down onto her knees, rather then her back. "I'll delete that Monkey digimon myself for this."
"Chosen One, step fourth, and choose."
Lifting her head with a bit of rage visible, Taiko rose up, her left hand clenching up as she stood up completely. "Wait; wasn't I just restrained, what happened to all that machinery crap?"
"Choose your future path."
"Shut up with your zen stuff." Taiko spat out into the area around her, her eyes roaming across the darkness surrounding her just a few meters away on all sides, while her immediate area were bathed in the light flowing out of her. "Okay, whatever it was that digimon did to me, I hope it's not permanent."
A second look around confirmed that she was surround by darkness, all of it swirling around juts out of her reach, but offering no escape, no path, no means of leaving. "So, I'm just supposed to stay here, until I chose something?"
Her voice about as full of sarcasm as it could be, her eyes darted around until they landed on something strange, two figures emerging from the darkness itself, one of whom were. "Bastemon?"
The feline humanoid digimon stopping just off to her left, as the darkness deepened off to her right, as a far darker and recognizable figure emerged from it, dressed in tattered black leather and its glowing red eyes sending a powerful shiver down her back as she moved backwards a bit. "Okay, so will anyone care to explain to me why Lady Devimon is here?"
Her question never answered, as the soft light flowing out of her left her body, orbiting around her before moving off to land on the ground and form into an angelic digimon, with eight white wings and a white colored body suit and golden armor that seemed to glow with the same light that had left her. "Holy Angemon?"
The angel digimon towering up over her lifted his right hand as a green blade formed from his gauntlet. "Chosen one from the other world, which path do you wish to take?"
"As I merged with you, I saw in you the light." Holy Angemon continued talking as he still watched her, his face mask covering every facial sign besides his mouth, effectively freaking out the girl as she couldn't tell if he was angry, or simply not caring about his hate for humans. "I witnessed through your memories the fights in your past, the inner struggle with your darkness."
Lowering his arm as he dismissed his sword, he kneeled down before her, planting one hand on his chest. "I saw how your world was saved; however, even your digimon partner in either of her current perfect stages can win this war." Holding out his left hand, a smile filled his face. "However, with my powers added to your fading inner light and your new power, that light will be reborn, stronger then ever; we'll rid the world of the darkness once and for all!"
"Fading light?" Moving her head to stare at each of the three digimons, Taiko frowned as she planed one hand over her chest, feeling her heart beat, along with something strange, something she hadn't felt before. "I thought I had the powers of light because I was the chosen one for it."
Holy Angemon watched her silently for a few seconds, before he lowered his head. "You light doesn't belong in this world, it can't thrive her in a place of darkness." Pointing a hand forward, his sword faded away so he could point at Bastemon. "And so, your true trait begins to overpower the light, giving rise to a new evolution for your partner, that of a digimon closer to the darkness."
"If this continues, you'll lose your light powers completely, and if you reject your true nature, you'll succumb to the very darkness flowing through you now, giving rise to the digimon behind you."
"You must join forces with me, it is the only way to overcome the darkness."
"Only I can save you."
--
Wasting no time since her evolution, Lady Devimon flung both of her arms out, a swarm of red bats and dark power flaring to life between her hands. "Darkness Wave"
Piccolomon face turned deadly serious as he spun his staff around, deflecting each of the bats, and almost all of the darkness with ease. "Boy, that power, did it come from your friend?" Hovering backwards as Lady Devimon went on the attack with her needle like sword arm, he chuckled. "Never mind, it doesn't change anything."
Ducking low, the small digimon merely swept Lady Devimon's feet out from under her with his staff, her eyes narrowing as he pointed it right at her. "Pic Trick!" A massive bubble like object emerged from his staff and knocked her back away from him and Taichi. "Go child, you and your friend, you must find this other human and stop this madness."
Recovering enough to grab Agumon, Taichi held onto his digivice as he watched Lady Devimon rise from her landing place, her sword arm back to normal. "But, you'll need help to stop her, besides, she's a friend to us, we can't just leave her."
"Silence." Barking out the words, Piccolomon waved around as a burst of poison was spat at him, the acid toxin eating into the ground behind him, Taichi having jumped back to avoid it. "This is a war, and in wars, you must never lose sight of the goal, you must never stop to fight everyone on your way."
Holding his staff as the female devil like digimon attacked with her sword like arm again, he grunted as he watched the crazed, uncaring and unknowing look in her eyes while she pressed down, trying to break through his guard. "You have to free Taiko to stop this."
Shooting upwards, the fairy digimon pointed his staff right at Lady Devimon's face as she stumbled forward, her head swirling around to face him. "Bit Bomb" Only to get his dead center in her stomach by a small, explosive charge that sent her flying forwards, over Taichi and Agumon and right into a crest stone. "Now, while she's down."
Looking up to see the staff getting aimed at him, Taichi jumped as he grabbed his digivice, its screen light up with the power to start the evolution of Agumon into Greymon. "Piccolomon, wait, I can."
The rest was lost as a bubble began to form before them. "Fairytale!" the bubble shooting forward rapidly, engulfing both him and Agumon, before flying upwards into the sky above them.
Watching it fly away, Piccolomon nodded briefly before returning his gaze to Lady Devimon before him, her crazed face almost splitting with her blood hungry grin. "Gennai, you better have picked the right humans this time around." He mouth twisting into a cold smirk as he lifted his staff before him. "Bring it then, digimon of darkness; I'll fight you until my death."
Honoring his demand, Lady Devimon shot forward, her arm extending into her sword again, darkness flaring up around her as she struck out, feeling her attack connect with that damned staff again, the failure to delete him merely adding to her blood lust and fury.
--
Facing Holy Angemon, Taiko shivered as she felt the darkness behind her, it's call of endless power and strength making her skin crawl as it also spoke of fighting and killing all who refused to bow to her.
All of it merely adding to her need to move forward, to embrace the warm light before her, to smother herself in its protective embrace forever and ever, even if it meant giving in to this deranged digimon and his wish for complete destruction of all digimons and humans.
"He's lying to you." Bastemon's voice cut through the daze, making the messy haired girl stop in her tracks and face her humanoid feline digimon partner head on. "You don't need the light to fight the darkness, you never did, it just wants you to help it destroy these who rejects it presence."
Stepping forward, the space before Bastemon shimmered briefly before taking on a far more human appearance, namely that of a old man barely able to reach her shoulders in height, a ragged purple long shirt hanging onto his shoulders. "I thought so too once, and before I knew it, I was trapped in the light, rejecting everything I saw with even the slightest amount of darkness in it."
Taking a step backwards, Taiko fell to her knees at the shock of the old man. "Gennai?"
Giving a real smile, Gennai kneeled down to before her, looking right into her eyes as he opened his own. "Yes child, but I'm sure you already know I'm not the one from your world." Lowering his head, he let out a deep sigh of regret. "When I finally regained my senses, it was too late, all I could do was seal away myself along with my mistakes, but I also knew that I had to protect the last remaining digimons in the world."
Lifting his head, he watched the confused and slowly dawning look of horror on Taiko's face. "Hikaru must know of it, or else he deludes himself into not knowing of it, but the war and the onslaught of darkness left only the army of digimons under his control, a few of the truly powerful dark and light digimon and the refugees here on Refugia alive, the rest were deleted."
"The darkness and the humans hit us where it hurt the most; the village of beginnings was destroyed, thus bringing the rebirth as well as the births of new digimons to a complete halt. The entire digimon population now resides at a measly 300.000 lives."
"But even as we suffered, I saw the humans suffer as well, the darkness entered the real world, and started wars and bickering there as well, that is the answer for the sudden human with drawl from this world, they left to fight in their own realm."
"Quite a sad outcome really to it all and all of it because of an accident that happened so long ago, so long ago no one can really remember it, except to blame the humans for it."
Listening to the story, Taiko blinked as a faint idea of who it could have been flashed through her mind, before she ended it to ask about something else. "But Gennai, why tell me this, why aren't you around? Why did I even end up here of all places?"
"My last act of hope." Gennai responded as he lifted his head upwards, allowing a sad smile to fill his face. "When the chosen children of this reality arrived, I had begun to lose faith, and when darkness drove them apart, I turned my back on the old prophecies, and decided to become the light of hope myself."
"With the powers of the lost ones, I became a god."
"A god of fear."
--
Watching from above, Taichi smirked as the bubble shattered well above the Dark Network, out of sight of Majiramon and the Monkey like digimon below them, but close enough to Taiko and the surface for them to save her. "You ready for this buddy?"
Next to him, Agumon gave his version of a thumps up before laughing. "Let's get it over with, for once; we get the advantage of a surprise attack."
Watching as the shield shattered, Taichi ripped his digivice forward, light flaring up from it. "Let's go!"
Rushing forward across the curving surface of the network, Agumon glowed brightly yellow with power. "Agumon, Evolves too Greymon." The larger form of his adult stage charged right out over the edge of the network, and into mid air as more power flowed into him. "Greymon, evolves too Metal-Greymon!"
The sudden roar from above cutting through the gleeful expression Makuramon's face as he snapped back and looked upwards in time to see a far to big form diving down from above, a metallic trident arm pointed right at him. "What the hell is?"
"Mega Claw!" Cutting right through the question and going for the first attack, Metal-Greymon allowed his arm to burrow itself into the ship deck as Makuramon aborted his attack at the last second, jumping backwards, with a hand stand on the railing before diving all the way out over the edge of the ship as Metal-Greymon impacted it, sending wood and enslaved digimons flying in all directions. "Think you can escape so easily, Mega Claw!"
Making a perfect landing on Majiramon, Makuramon merely chuckled as he felt the dragon digimon shift, the attack going far past them as they more into a better attack position. "I have no idea who you are, and I don't care, our plan to summon Milleniumon is complete, and you can't stop it, rather, you should join us, you'll find a new and far better life in our world, a world we'll free of all humans together!."
"A futile offer Makuramon, he's a partner digimon." Majiramon cut in as his eyes glared coldly, his anger towards the digimons siding with humans flaring up along with his desire to do battle. "Let's juts kill him."
Retracting his trident arm, Metal-Greymon followed the two perfect stage digimons as they slowly moved into a better attack position, their eyes never leaving him, and therefore not seeing Taichi above.
Without Taiko there to power it, the gate would close and the world would be space the presence of Milleniumon, once that was done, they could retreat, hopefully having enough time to Get Taiko to wake up and turn Plotmon into Bastemon to help him against these two.
Just a bit longer, and Taichi would give the all clear signal for him to use the giga destroyer to distract them long enough to escape. "I'll never side with any of you; rather, I'll destroy the both of you."
Pulling out his crystal ball as he watched Metal-Greymon turn around to stare at them as Majiramon stopped moving, fire brewing fourth in the dragon digimon mouth, he grinned. "Brave words, for a traitor; let's see if you can follow them through, now Majiramon!"
Majiramon followed suit as he heard the order to attack from his leader, his mouth snapping open as his trademark fire ball attacked streamed out of it. "Fire Ball!"
On his back, the monkey deva pulled back his arm and focused his strength into his next attack, keeping track of Metal-Greymon's movement to escape, and let lose with his best toss yet. "Treasure Jewel!"
Having flown upwards to escape the fire ball, Metal-Greymon looked up and snarled as he saw the crystal sphere heading right towards his throat, Makuramon no doubt aiming to snap his wind pipe and choke him to death. "Taichi!"
"Dark Spirits!"
The attack came out of no where, striking the crystal from below, causing it to halt in mid air, before literally exploding into a hundreds shards as a orange white figure leapt up from the cargo hold, the burning ship shattering and breaking as Etemon were revealed, his smirk as big as ever as he took in the socked looks on Makuramon' and Majiramon's faces. "Told ya I'd be back."
Spinning around in mid air, he chuckled as power flared up around his hands. "Now take this new number one hit killer attack, Dark Spirits!" Firing the first green sphere off right at Majiramon, he chuckled as he watched the dragon evade it quite effortlessly, Makuramon stumbling a bit as the second attack were aimed at him, and his allies move had put him right into its path. "Your turn buddy!"
Ignoring the fact that Etemon of all digimon had helped him, Metal-Greymon poured as much power as he dared into this one attack, his chest plate slamming open as light shone out from it. "Here goes, Giga destroyer!"
The attack gained Majiramon's total attention as he let out a rather graphic curse before doing first a sharp turn, followed by diving straight down to avoid it, his eyes widening as he picked up Makuramon's cry of surprise too late, feeling the monkey digimon slipping off his back. "Wait?"
The sudden halt to his movement were, ironically, what did the most damage as his attempt to allow Makuramon to regain his balance left the monkey deva right in the impact spot for the twin organic missiles.
Something which Makuramon commented rather perfectly with a string of curses as he felt a powerful intense heat and pressure engulf him in a split second, his fur burning up along with his clothes as each digital bit of his body shattered, his life ending with a big fat explosion that served to also send Majiramon spiraling out of control.
Etemon's face split apart with a massive grin as he touched down on the only non burning part of the ship. "Alright buddy, both jerks are down, one of them permanently, now let's end this dance." turning around to face the portal, he froze as he found a massive trident arm aimed right at him. "What?"
"Why did you help me?" The question close to having been spat out as Metal-Greymon floated down towards the non burning ship deck. "Why risk yourself to fight with a chosen digimon?"
Giving a short shrug, Etemon merely flicked off a bit of dust from his shoulder as he glanced upwards, ignoring the massive weapon arm pointed at him. "I'm not a fan of humanity, true, but that guy was complete nuts, I want this world to be saved, not destroyed by some other world's evil overlord problem like he did."
Crossing his arms, Etemon gave his most smug smirk ever. "Besides, you wouldn't have been able to win against him without my help, baby."
Lowering his trident arm, metal-Greymon settled for merely snorting in response, his head moving as he scanned the air around him for any signs of the last deva. "Just stay sharp, we still have of them to beat, and I doubt he'll be just as easy to delete."
Sliding into a battle stance, Etemon gave a sharp nod as he took up a fighting position, one hands glowing with power as he moved to observe the gateway behind them. "Hey, I tried my best to sabotage this thing, but I bet it won't be long before Millieniumon arrives, shouldn't we destroy the network before Majiramon returns?"
"Taichi's on that case, when we get Taiko away from it, the portal should shut off." Metal-Greymon shot back as he spotted what he needed to see, Majiramon's dragon form rising up from below, fire dancing out of his mouth. "Get ready, here he comes!"
The sheer hatred radiating from Majiramon as he level his glare at both perfect stage digimons had them both flinching and dove backwards a bit before they recovered enough to resist his intimidation. "Makuramon was the only one who knew, the only one who understood the gods plan."
Fire flowing freely out of his mouth, Majiramon let loose with the best roar so far, sending the few remaining dark gear controlled Kougamon's running, the fear overriding their need for orders. "As the last deva, I shall send you all straight to the dark realm!"
Preparing themselves for battle, both Metal-Greymon and Etemon froze as a powerful ripple shot through the air, a much more powerful and bone chilling roar filling the air, the portal below them tearing open as a black skinned, leathery hand with five sharp clawed fingers punched through the darkness, a glowing blue yellow ghostly three clawed arm hovering just above it, the arm following as it pushed further downward, a second arm following a split second later, looking precisely the same.
A foul dark laughter from Majiramon filled the air as he watched it happened, his eyes narrowing as he moved forward, the fire and claws he had ready to do battle were abandoned as he continued to laugh. "The dark destroyer descends to your world, he'll destroy you all, you hear me, all of you."
"To bad you won't see it." Etemon spat back as he took one jump forward, his mike out and ready as he drove towards the stunned dragon deva, his smirk grew by the minute. "I leave the portal to you big guy, don't let me down."
Ignoring the forming fire ball before him, Etemon took in a deep breath and let lose with the worst, but to him, best song in the whole wide digital universe. "Try my Dark Musical!"
Metal Greymon grimaced as even he could pick up some on the so called song as Etemon barreled right into a horrified and suffering Majiramon, sending them both out of the picture once more, the dragon howl of misery heard loudly as he fled downwards, Etemon holding onto his head the whole time.
Returning his attention towards the portal, Metal-Greymon didn't have much time to even think before a massive form ripped out, a upper body easily three times the size of his own tore through the portal, a second ghostly yellow head hovered above the main head, a draconic and dark skinned one, a pair of red eyes focusing on him with sheer rage glowing from them.
As a second set of arms, these ones without any ghostly stuff on them jutted halfway out, their five fingers and their claws clicking together as the digimon moved to face down metal-Greymon, sheer darkness rolling off the digimon in waves that had Metal-Greymon sweat in a sudden fear rush. "Taichi!"
--
"Spare us you melodramatic talk guardian." Holy Angemon spat out as he rose up from his kneeling position, his body increasing it's glow as he towered up over both of them. "The girl has no other choice but to become one with my power if she, no, all of us are to win this war."
Frowning at his insulting comment about her, Taiko did her best to suppress her anger, the darkness whispering around her as she faced down the angel digimon ignoring her, her heart beating steadily as she forced herself to calm down, her body beginning to glow faintly as she relaxed.
Merely glancing up at Holy Angemon, Gennai shook his head sadly as he lifted up one hand, a single finger pointing in an accusing manner. "And then what, who shall be the next one to fall at your hands" Coughing faintly as he spoke, Gennai sighed as he shook his head at the perfect stage digimon. "I created Refugia, as a prison for my own evil, and around it, I placed the remaining digimons who I sensed were free enough of darkness to avoid corruption."
His eyes flickering off to the side to see Taiko glowing, a golden warm light that beat back the darkness, but failed to capture the blinded Holy Angemon, a digimon unable to see the power of the one who could help save them. "The first part of the prophecy is fulfilled."
"Silence, Chronomon saved us once, he's the one true god who arrived from the light, the divine one who is our savior, he is one who will save us for all times, not the humans!" Forming the green glowing, holy sword Excalibur the angel digimon began to advance on Gennai, the death of the digital human clearly his goal as he angled the blade to cut him in half. "Go to the dark area with your blasphemy!"
The blade never hit, as Taiko had responded first, her arm held out as she glared at him. "I don't care who you are, or what you want, but this-" Lifting her other arm, she screamed as she held out towards Holy Angemon, a powerful golden glow forming around her. "-This is my body, and I don't want you inside of it!"
Struggling against the glow as it spread around him, Holy Angemon didn't get a chance to even speak out as he watched Lady Devimon's form shattered, a twin tailed humanoid feline digimon familiar to both of them replacing the devil digimon, her claws glinting as she took a step forward. "Vampire Dance!"
The powerful wave of energy ripped into the angel digimon before he got a chance to scream, his form fading away like smoke in a strong wind.
The only sign remaining of him were the fading glow where he should have been. "Count yourself lucky again girl, but I will return to haunt you again."
"You humans are the root of all evil."
Merely facing his direction, Taiko turned her head to face Gennai, only to find him gone as well, leaving her with all of her questions unanswered. "Gennai?"
Lifting her hand up and clenching it in determination, Taiko grinned as her body were still glowing with the same, golden glow as it had before. "Gennai, I don't know what you or Holy Angemon meant, but I'll figure it out, on my own."
--
Moving his head from side to side, Taichi felt like every single one of his nerves were on fire, the need to save Taiko rushing through him with every passing second, yet the understanding that there could be some kind of trap up here held him back from blindly rushing in.
Maybe one of the electric walls he had seen in Etemon's pyramid would pop up, or there could be landmines around here, after it was the dark network, he had seen it once and could never forget what it looked like.
Taking a cautious step forward, his nearly stumbled as the first explosion rang out from below, the fight no doubt well underway by now.
Reaching the large X holding Taiko, Taichi frowned as he looked oer the female copy of him lying there, his eyes narrowing as he took a firm look at the cables, then down at the digivice partly shrouded in darkness. "Right, first things first." Grabbing the digivice, he yelped out loud as each of his fingers and the palm of his hand were burnt from the sheer coldness around the digivice, his hand relishing it almost as soon as he had picked it up.
"Okay, change of plan, the cables first." Moving over, he looked at the first cable, the one connected to Taiko's head, his fingers closed in around it and slowly touched it, his whole body tensing up as he waited for something like the coldness from before or even a massive shock of electricity to punish him.
Instead, he breathed out calmly as he felt nothing, the cable rather easy to remove from Taiko, along with the other ones, the humming sound from the dark network still carrying on even as he removed the last cable from the messy haired girl, his eyes fluttering as if she was having a nightmare.
Moving one hand around her body and grabbed his under her shoulder, Taichi grunted as he pulled her up, holding much like a wounded soldier as he slid her off the X and supported her weight as he looked around the area. "I got her off and disconnected, so everything should be fine now."
"Hardly boy." A very familiar and hateful vice spat out as a small, bucket like digimon with four legs and a large organic eye rose up from the side of the network, his small arms waving in anger as he started to move forward. "I reworked some of the gates functions, it drawing power from the very darkness of this world to power itself with."
Leveling one of his most hateful glares at the digimon before him, Taichi found himself nearly losing it as the digimon kept moving forward. "Nanomon." The digimon hardly showing any kind of surprise at a human knowing what he was. "I should have known a sick and twisted digimon like you would be here."
Waving one of his arms, Nanomon would have smirked if he had the mouth to do so. "Yes, consider this my way at getting back at all you humans and this world that rejected me." Laughing as he did a quick jump, Nanomon landed on top of the large X, his eyes moving to stare right into Taichi's face as he stopped laughing. "But I guess I could spare a few seconds, to kill another human, like that red haired boy and his Palmon who fought me a few weeks ago."
Gnashing his teeth, Taichi slowly put down Taiko, his eyes never leaving Nanomon as the digimon lifted up both hands and pointed them right at both him and Taiko. "Forget it boy." Jumping down and hovering in midair as he moved closer, he chuckled as he loaded the first of his plug bombs into his fingers. "I believe in two, for the price of one!"
Getting a good idea of what would happen next, Taichi shot around, using himself as a shield as he heard Nanomon's cold laugh, the sound of a sudden discharge and a massive roar, the network shuddering as darkness tore out from the cables lying around the metallic X.
Looking back over his should, Taichi reacted mostly on instinct as he saw Nanomon jet to the side ot avoid a arc of dark power, his metallic body eerily lit up as he focused entirely on the darkness, leaving himself far to open. "Hyper Taichi Kick!"
Turning around at the yell form the boy, Nanomon was met with a foot to the face, his body flying backward and right into the darkness, the power ripping through him in a seconds, shattering his organic eye before his metallic parts followed right after it, his digital data devoured in seconds by the network's raw discharge.
Dropping ot his knees, the messy haired boy bit his tongue to avoid screaming out in pain, his right foot painfully reminding him why he should kick a metal object with all of his strength. "Next time, I call for Metal-Greymon to help me, instead of breaking my own foot."
Moving back to Taiko, he froze as he spotted the digivice that had been lying on her, it's darkness shattering as a powerful golden light enveloped it. "Now what?" looking up, he stopped as he spotted the same light flowing out from her chest, a small sign forming on top of her shirt as he eyes fluttered open. "Hey, you're awake."
Taiko's reaction were nothing more then a smile as she sat up, her eyes hardening as she turned to regard him. "Tell me you shut down the gate before they got that monster pulled over here."
Giving a sad grin, Taichi helped her up onto her feet, supporting her as he cast a grim look down over the edge of the dark network itself. "Sorry, but I think they succeed, and well, we only have Metal-Greymon on our side."
A soft smile spread across Taiko's face as she reached out and touched Taichi's chest. "No we can, we just have to join our powers together, just this once." Flaring up with light, a shaft of it was ejected straight through Taichi's chest, and into his heart. "Now, accept my power and defeat this monster for all of us."
--
Advancing forward, Lady Devimon smirked as she lifted her sword arm, her eyes fully focused on the corner Piccollomon pressed up against the crest of courage stone, his body trapped by her normal hand. "Darkness Spear!" Her sword arm pulling back as she prepared to impale the small digimon, she never struck him, as a loud scream erupted from her before she could.
Her eyes half closing as she stumbled backwards, she screamed once more as first one, then a second beam of light shot out of her body, the whole thing ending with her body erupting with a powerful light as a cloud of darkness were ejected out of her, leaving behind nothing but Plotmon in its place.
The puppy digimon landed roughly on the ground, where she shivered from the sudden and painful rejection of darkness from her body. "Taiko, I could feel her pain, her suffering!" Standing up weakly, she hissed as she lifted her head to look up into the sky. "I have to help her!"
"No." Piccollomon replied as he hovered forward, his face dead serious. "The darkness no longer floods your partner, but we can't interfere yet." Recalling his staff, he pointed it upwards, glowing faintly before forming a sphere around them, slowly lifting them upwards into the air. "I said I would leave it to him, and so I shall, we just have to trust him."
--
Roaring wildly, Milleniumon snapped open his jaws as his body slid further out of the portal, the ghostly cannons on his back coming into light, his arms reaching out to claw at the air as he focused completed on the cyborg digimon hovering before him. "Mugen Cannon!"
Metal-Greymon barely got a chance to avoid the attack as he was flung backwards, the energy projectiles flying over his head and past his left arm before reducing the burning ship to nothing less then a cloud of splinters. "Taichi, I could really use some help here."
Snapping open his chest plate, Metal-Greymon hissed as he poured the last of his power into one last desperate attack, the missiles loading up as he took careful aim at the slowly emerging digimon before him. "Here goes, Giga!" The rest of his sentence lost as a shockwave of power shot through him, flooding him with a fresh wave of strength.
The mixture of energies flowing through him for a few seconds, before his body shattered into a powerful light show, a familiar feeling washing through him, as strength filled beyond what he had believed he could hold. "Metal-Greymon evolves too-"
Breaking out of the light, a much smaller, humanoid dinosaur like digimon hovered in the air, his skin still a bright orange, but now he had on a tight fitting chest plate, a large divided shield on his back, and wicked look gauntlets sporting sharp claws, his legs sported metallic shin guards while his face were covered by a form fitting metal helmet with horns. "-Wargreymon!"
--
"Can you see this master?" The golden armored digimon spoke as he hovered above the battlefield, making sure to stay out of sight until the time was right for him to act. "It looks like the portal has been opened."
Lowering his head, the golden armored digimon grunted as he watched a sphere of light flare up, orange and white colors swirling around in the air as a massive warrior like digimon emerge from, it, a large tree tipped sword swinging through the air effortlessly. "Sir, I think the boy's evolving his digimon to the ultimate stage."
"Of course he did." Lighting up a small candle, the man grinned as he settled down in his chair, to watch the show taking place far above them all, a battle for the future of this world and everyone who lived in it. "Humans hold the key to evolution after all."
To bear witness to something that only happened once a century or so it would seem, he was truly lucky to have such a good view of it all. "Now chosen ones, don't fail me, I need the both of you to survive for just a tad longer."
"Evolution is the key, and humanity holds the power to that evolution."
"We must all evolve to become the victors."

TBC: A battle for the future of the world begins, but it one ultimate level digimon enough against a dark lord class digimon from another world.
