Episode 11: Overcoming Fear
After the events of DexDoruGreymon, everything should be back to normal now. But thinking about what happened to Dorumon that night seemed to be frightening Lucas. With this on his mind, will he ever be able to battle Digimon again? Or is this the end of his journey?
-Lucas Blake House, Mission Bend, Houston, Texas, United States-
It was the middle of the night. And after yesterday of Lucas trying to avoid the incident of Galveston to his parents, Lucas and Dorimon were just sleeping the night away as usual. But, Lucas seemed to have a very hard time trying to sleep. Something seemed to be freaking him out.
Lucas: … No. Dorumon… don't. Please… don't do it. Stop.
-Lucas' Nightmare-
Lucas was standing in the middle of Galveston, and it seems that all the buildings around him were on fire. He panicked at the sight of all the fire. But then he noticed DexDoruGreymon in the center of all the destruction.
DexDoruGreymon: (Shrieking Roar)…
Lucas covered his ears at the loud roar of DexDoruGreymon. But he couldn't help but look in horror of something he caused.
Lucas: Dorumon. What have I done?
DexDoruGreymon then started to crush everything he saw near him. He smashed a few buildings, lots of Cars, and he even terrorized the people that were trying to escape from him and the fire he caused.
DexDoruGreymon: (Shrieking Roar)…
Lucas: DexDoruGreymon, stop!
Hearing Lucas' voice, DexDoruGreymon turned around and growled at him. And yet, Lucas was still terrified from the horrible sight.
Lucas: It's me. Don't you remember? It's your pal, Lucas.
But DexDoruGreymon didn't hear a word as he fired his most powerful attack.
DexDoruGreymon: (Shrieking Roar)… Metal Meteor!
Lucas could only watched as the attack of his friend was about to strike him. And there was no way for him to get away from such a big attack.
Lucas: (Gasps)…
The titanic metal sphere crashed on Lucas before exploding in a deafening explosion.
BBBBRRRRROOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!
-End of Lucas' Nightmare-
Lucas woke up in complete shock. He quickly got up and only looked at the bed blankets covering him and his sleeping friend Dorimon that was next to him.
Lucas: It was… only a dream. More like a nightmare.
Seeing all of that, he was so terrified that he just couldn't sleep anymore. He got out of bed quietly, and he looked at the sleeping Dorimon.
Lucas: How could he still be sleeping after the little shock I had? Well, at least he's doing fine after last time. But… I'm not.
Then, Lucas looked over at his azure colored Digivice that was sitting on his desk. He walked over to it and he noticed that the screen was still black.
Lucas: Why?
Seeing the screen all black only made Lucas remember the horrible events at Galveston. Sure he was able to stop it, but what could he do if it happens again? Then Lucas started to remember what Shade said before he changed his mind about him. About how Lucas was not worthy to have a Digimon and all the other stuff he said about him before.
Lucas: What if he was right? What if… I'm not…
Thinking about it, Lucas turned his head over towards his window. He just gazed at the night sky above him. There were no starts to be seen at all.
Lucas: What am I gonna do now?
-Houston, Texas, United States-
BlackGatomon was still at her usual viewing spot. The Sun was almost about to rise on this good Sunday morning. But even when the light was about to shine, she always seemed to fill it with darkness.
BlackGatomon: Hmm… let's see. So far all the Human's with Digimon partners can make their Digimon Digivolve to the Champion Level. Which is a treat.
But then she remembered what happened the night before.
BlackGatomon: However, since the incident yesterday, I have a good feeling that one child has lost some of his nerve to battle.
She began to jump from the rooftop building to another one.
BlackGatomon: It's a long shot. But, I do believe that he would have a hard time getting back up after this one. Witnessing a Dark Digivolution on his "own" Digimon partner must have frighten him. So go on, child. I like to see what you're gonna do next after this one.
Now she looked far into the distance. That direction is were Lucas Blake House is.
BlackGatomon: I believe this is gonna get a little more interesting from here on out.
-Lucas Blake House, Mission Bend, Houston, Texas, United States-
Lucas was in his room looking at his Digivice, while it still had a black screen. The more he looked at it, the more he continued to think about the damage DexDoruGreymon did to Galveston. However, Dorimon was getting a little worried about him now. He hasn't said a thing all morning, and Dorimon was worried.
Dorimon: Lucas? Are you okay? You haven't said anything to me or anyone else all morning. That's not like you at all.
Yet, Lucas only continued to look at his azure Digivice with a black screen on it. He can't get it out if his mind.
Dorimon: Lucas. If you're still worried about last night, I already told you that I forgive you already. I don't blame you for anything.
Lucas still didn't answer back. He just continued to look at his Digivice. Dorimon sat next to him, but he still didn't get Lucas to answer.
Dorimon: Come on, Lucas. You've been looking at that Digivice all day, and it's almost noon. You haven't been yourself since yesterday, and I don't like seeing you like this. At least say something to me. Anything at all. Just something. Anything.
Again, Lucas didn't answer, which only made Dorimon even more worried now about him, it almost made him want to cry.
Dorimon: Lucas. Come on. What do I have to do to make you talk to me again?
But then Robert came into the room to see them.
Robert: Is he still not talking?
Dorimon turned around and faced Lucas' little brother.
Dorimon: Yeah. He's been like this all morning. I'm really worried about him.
Suddenly, Lucas got up and started walking towards his bedroom door.
Robert: Big Brother?
Dorimon: Lucas?
Lucas didn't turned around, but he did answer the both of them.
Lucas: I… need to be alone for a while. OK.
He then exited out his door and then the front door. Robert and Dorimon were just in shock. He finally moved and talk.
Robert: Where do you think he's going?
Dorimon: I don't know. And yet, I just wish he could snap out of it already.
Out on the street, Lucas was still looking at his azure Digivice with a black screen on it.
Lucas: What am I gonna do? What can I do?
-Kim Foster House, Mission Bend, Houston, Texas, United States-
Seeing Lucas down the street neighbor, Kim was just looking at Lucas walking away. She was starting to worry about him. He hasn't been himself since the event in Galveston.
Kim: Poor Lucas. I wish I could help him somehow.
But then Floramon got near Kim's side.
Floramon: It'll be alright, Kim. You just gotta give him some space is all.
But Kim still couldn't help but to be worried about Lucas.
Kim: I know, Floramon. But I can't stand the fact that he's like this. It's not like Lucas to let something put him down.
Then Kim started to flashback all the things that happened to her and Lucas from both their childhood all the way to now.
Kim: He's never been that kind of person. He's always been so nice and friendly. Sure he has some moments, and doesn't seem always nice to others and can be a little reckless at times. But he's the best guy I know. And I can't stand to see him like this at all.
Floramon: I know you're worried about him. But he needs time. He'll eventually get back to his own self again. I'm sure he will.
With a look of belief in her eyes, Kim looked back at Floramon with a smile.
Kim: Maybe you're right, Floramon. I just gotta hope that Lucas will be okay.
Floramon: Believe me, Kim. If he is at least half the man you say he is, he'll be okay.
Kim then turned around and hugged Floramon.
Kim: Thank you, Floramon.
Floramon: That's what I'm here for.
Unknown to them, Lucas was looking at them through their window, and he sighed and walked off again.
Lucas: (Sigh)…
-Houston, Texas, United States-
Shade was on the phone again with Emily. After going through the entire thing again with her Grandparents, he managed to patch things up with her and continued their friendship. However, he noticed Lucas walking down the streets. He saw the look in his eyes and he already knew what is happening to him. Shade was silent for a minute as he saw Lucas walk by, but Emily was still on the other line.
Emily: Shade? Are you still there? Shade?
Shade: Sorry, Emily. I'll have to call you back. Something just came up.
He then hung up on Emily in an instant. He was just to fixated on Lucas walking on the other street to pay attention to his phone call. But then, Monodramon spoke to him from inside the purple Digivice.
Momodramon: Is something wrong, Shade?
Shade: It's Lucas. He looks… depressed.
Even inside the Digivice Monodramon can look outside and saw Lucas expression.
Monodramon: He does. And I don't think he has Dorumon with him. That's not like him at all. Well, as far as we know about him.
Shade: That's what also made me concerned about him.
Then Shade began to think about the events with DexDoruGreymon.
Shade: Could it possible be that he can't get over the incident with DexDoruGreymon?
Monodramon: Maybe. You gotta admit, that really was an awful feeling to see DexDoruGreymon. It still give me the chills when I think about it.
Shade looked back at Lucas. He wanted to go towards him, but decided to give Lucas the space he needs.
Shade: Lucas. I know you're scared. But I think you can get through this one as well. After all, you managed to get through me of course.
A little surprised, Monodramon felt happy to hear that from Shade.
Monodramon: "Good to see that you have changed, Shade. And even better. Now I hope that Lucas will be alright too."
Shade just kept looking at the depressed Lucas as he now leaves his sight.
Shade: Lucas.
When Lucas was out of sight, Shade couldn't help but think he was the one who really did this.
Shade: Maybe this is my fault. If I have never pushed him during our battle and more, this might never have happened.
Monodramon didn't want to see Shade get depressed too.
Monodramon: Well, to tell you the truth, you weren't actually you. You were under some kind of spell. I bet it was BlackGatomon that did this.
Hearing that name, Shade finally remembered what BlackGatomon did to him. He was now starting to understand.
Shade: You're right, Monodramon. I now remember what happened during that night.
Monodramon: In that case; if we ever see BlackGatomon again, she's gonna get it.
Shade only nodded his head at that suggestion. But now he and Monodramon got back to Lucas being depressed again.
Monodramon: I hope he'll be okay.
Shade: I hope so, Monodramon.
-Grand Master's House, Digital Forest, Digital World-
The Grand Master was getting frustrated with trying to figure everything out, but he still couldn't. However, he was trying something else now on his computer.
Grand Master: There we go. With this new system, I can keep track on everyone's Digivice signals. Good thing Shade told me everyone's names and Digimon partner. Now I can keep track of them through my computer. Even if they are in the real world.
He opened up the Digivice tracker on his computer screen. But he was a little confused to see Lucas azure dot signal has a small dot in it.
Grand Master: That's odd. The one called Lucas seems to have a problem with his Digivice. Could it have something to do with the incident with the Digicore Predator that Shade told me about?
He then started to press button after button on his keypad, and he managed to figure out the problem.
Grand Master: I see. The Digivice is not responding to Lucas because the boy is slowly starting to lose the will to continue. I wonder…
He was thinking about asking Shade to help Lucas. But instead he got of his chair and walked over to one of his other desks. Then he picked something of the desk. It was a orange Digivice with white ring and clickwheel.
Grand Master: No. This requires my assistance.
The Grand Master then began to look at his computer screen.
Grand Master: Lucas Blake. I think it's time you and I finally meet face to face.
He points his Digivice at his computer, then the screen started to glow.
Grand Master: Now! Digital Gate, open!
When he said those words, the computer flashed a light at the Grand Master and it sucked him in. He was on his way to the Real World now.
-Houston, Texas, United States-
BlackGatomon was starting to think about the situation a little more. She thought this would be a good time to strike the boy while he was down on his own worries.
BlackGatomon: Let me think about this. Of course. All I have to do is destroy the boy while I have this perfect opportunity. With him gone, his partner can't Digivolve again, and that would be one less thing to worry about.
She started to head to the direction were Lucas is.
BlackGatomon: Here I come, kid!
-Near Mission Bend High School, Houston, Texas, United States-
Lucas was now sitting near the river stream, his usual thinking place. He just sat there, pondering over the events with DexDoruGreymon in Galveston.
Lucas: "Every time I try, I just can't seem to stop thinking about it."
He then began to look at his Digivice again, and he's still fixated at the events on the Galveston.
Lucas: "What would have happened… if I… couldn't… stop him?"
He started to think of the damages that would have happened to Galveston if he have never tried to stop DexDoruGreymon. Lucas just saw DexDoruGreymon in the center of the burning buildings that made Galveston, and he just shivered in horror.
Lucas: I can't! How could I ever…!
Lucas just dropped his Digivice on the ground.
Lucas: How can I ever make Dorumon Digivolve again, if I know that could happen!? I don't want it to ever happen to him again! I could never forgive myself if I let that happen a second time.
Then Lucas was now looking at the river stream.
Lucas: I guess… that is it for me. I just can't do this anymore. I'm finished.
When Lucas was talking to himself, BlackGatomon jumped on the trees. Out of sight from Lucas.
BlackGatomon: "Perfect. This is my chance. Time to…" Hmm?
Just before BlackGatomon could even think about it, a strange figure was walking towards Lucas. It was the Grand Master, but Lucas didn't know that.
Grand Master: I see you're worried about something, are you not?
Lucas was surprised to heard someone behind him and turned around to see the Grand Master.
Lucas: Who are you?
The Grand Master started walking closer to him.
Grand Master: Just someone that could help with your little… problem.
Lucas was in shock how could he know about his situation.
Lucas: How can you help me? You don't even know why I'm here or who I…
The Grand Master just cut him off right there.
Grand Master: I do know.
And what shocked Lucas, was the Digivice the Grand Master showed him.
Lucas: Is that… a Digivice?
The Grand Master just smiled at Lucas.
Grand Master: That's right. I do know what's worrying you.
Now Lucas was really wondering who this mysterious man is.
Lucas: Just who are you?
The Grand Master then just sat down next to Lucas.
Grand Master: Let's just say, I'm a good friend of Shade.
Lucas was surprised to hear that the Grand Master knows about Shade.
Lucas: You know Shade and Monodramon?
Grand Master: Of course. After all, I am the one who gave him his Digivice.
Now that was a shock to Lucas.
Lucas: You? You gave Shade his Digivice?
Grand Master: Yes. But that's now why I'm here.
Now Lucas was back on the whole DexDoruGreymon thing again.
Lucas: Then why are you here?
Grand Master: I'm here to help with your DexDoruGreymon problem.
Now Lucas was even more shocked.
Lucas: How did you know?
Grand Master: I have my ways, boy.
Somehow, Lucas was starting to believe this Mysterious old man.
Lucas: Okay then.
Then Lucas continued to look at the river stream.
Grand Master: Now, what seems to be the problem?
Lucas: It's just… how can I ever make Dorumon Digivolve again knowing that could happen to him? And what if I can't stop it next time? I don't want that over my head. Many people could get hurt. And it'll be… all my fault.
Then the Grand Master stand up and looked directly at Lucas.
Grand Master: It's not a question of what if.
Lucas was in shock. He turned around and faced him.
Grand Master: you need to understand, that sometimes things happen. But the real thing you need to understand is… what can you do… to make it right?
In shock again, Lucas couldn't believe what this man was telling him.
Grand Master: You need to learn from your mistakes. Only then we'll see the light once again.
Lucas was now confused at what he's saying.
Lucas: What do you mean "light"?
The Grand Master then pointe at his Digivice that lays on the ground.
Grand Master: Your Digivice has a black screen. The light from it has become black.
Lucas picked up his Digivice and looked at it. But he still couldn't understand.
Lucas: What do you mean?
Grand Master: That Digivice you hold is connected with you. It's black because you continue to fear and doubt yourself.
Now Lucas was beginning to understand.
Lucas: I see. Now it makes sense.
The Grand Master was just looking at Lucas.
Grand Master: Take what happened as a lesson. Learn form it. So that next time, you can make the right choice.
But Lucas just gave the Grand Master a freaked out look.
Lucas: Can I really?
Grand Master: Only if you think you can.
Thinking about what he was saying, Lucas closed his eyes and began to think.
Lucas: "He's right. All I've been doing was taking this as a mistake. What I should have done was to learn. I was so afraid of what could happen then thinking about how to prevent it from happening. Now I understand… what I have to do now."
At this thought, the Digivice dark screen turned back to its normal light blue color.
Lucas: Alright! It's back to normal!
Lucas just jumped of the ground in excitement.
Lucas: Thanks mister…
When he turned around, the Grand Master was already gone. Like he was never there to begin with.
Lucas: Okay… What was…? Though…? How did…?
Wondering what happened, Lucas turned his attention back to his Digivice again. There was a small silence at first, but then he grew a smile on his face.
Lucas: I don't know what was that all about. But, I now understand.
He then put his Digivice back in his pocket and started sprinting towards his House.
Lucas: Dorimon, I'm coming back to ya!
When Lucas left the area, the Grand Master came out if hiding behind the trees.
Grand Master: Looks like he understands. Now that he does, there's no need for me to be here any longer.
He then started to walk in the other direction.
Grand Master: I believe that my job here us done.
However, unaware to the Grand Master, he was being watched by BlackGatomon.
BlackGatomon: "Hmm… An old Human with a black Digivice? But the only Human that has a black Digivice is…"
She then started to move in the direction the Grand Master was going.
BlackGatomon: "Only one way to find out."
-Houston City, Texas, United States-
It seems that everything was back to normal again. But as usual, it wasn't for long. All of a sudden, a digital portal began to open up in the streets, and then a giant green Dinosaur with big black red ringed horns and a skull and bone cross tattoo on his left shoulder came out and started smashing things already.
?: (Roars)…!
Everyone began to run away at the horror of this big green monster. However, while BlackGatomon was trying to catch up to the Grand Master before he left, she stopped for a second to watch the destruction.
BlackGatomon: Looks like another wild one. Well, no need for me to get involved. I have other things to do.
BlackGatomon just walked away, while the green Dinosaur started charging and kept on destroying everything.
?: (Roars)…!
-Kim Foster House, Mission Bend, Houston, Texas, United States-
Kim was watching out her window, to see Lucas running back to his place, but this time he had a smile on his face. That made Kim really relieved.
Kim: Looks like you were right, Floramon. He's back to his old self again.
Floramon: I told ya he would.
Kim only laughed at that little comeback. But she couldn't help but feel glad for Lucas.
Kim: "Lucas."
-Lucas Blake House, Mission Bend, Houston, Texas, United States-
Lucas just ran into his House and bolted towards his room, were Dorimon was. He opened the door and he was now looking at his friend in the face.
Dorimon: Lucas?
Lucas just gave a smile to Dorimon as he walked over to him.
Lucas: Dorimon, I'm sorry I worried you. I promise I won't ever do that to you again.
Dorimon just smiled back at him. He was glad to see Lucas was finally back to his normal self.
Dorimon: Thanks, Lucas.
Lucas: No problem.
But, Dorimon was so worried about him, he couldn't help but to jump in his hands. It surprised Lucas. But when Lucas looked at Dorimon, seeing that he had almost wanted to cry, he understood.
Dorimon: I never thought I'll ever see the real you again.
Lucas: It's alright, pal. It wouldn't happen again. I promise.
Dorimon: Thank you.
Lucas couldn't help but give Dorimon a small hug, but it was cut short when Mr. Blake barged in and dragged Lucas and Dorimon out of the room.
Mr. Blake: Lucas! You gotta see this!
Lucas: Uh… hey!
He dragged them out to the telivision in the living room, and Lucas was in shock to see the green Dinosaur wrecking the City.
Mr. Blake: I think you know what that is.
Lucas: Oh no. Another Digimon is attacking the City.
The reporter was then shown on the screen.
Reporter: As you can see, the giant monster is making waste to the entire downtown area. Despite the Federal Agency and the Police trying to stop this creature, their attempts don't seem to be working.
The green monster started to roar in the background.
?: (Roars)…!
Reporter: Now if you'll excuse me folks, I'm gonna go scream like a little girl!
?: (Roars)…!
Reporter: Mommy!
Lucas grabbed the remote from his dad and turned off the Television.
Lucas: That's because the Federal Agency doesn't know how to deal with these things, like we do. Isn't that right, Dorimon?
Lucas and Dorimon then looked at each other, and they were thinking the same thing.
Dorimon: Does this mean…?
Lucas: That's right, pal. We're back in business!
But Mister and Misses Blake were concerned as usual.
Mr. Blake: But, Lucas…
Mrs. Blake: You can't be really thinking about going after that monster.
Lucas just turned around and gave them a look of determination on his face.
Lucas: I have to. Me and Dorimon are the only one's that can handle this.
Mr. Blake was still concerned. But Mrs. Blake knew Lucas was right. She saw them handle this before, when they fought off Leomon.
Mrs. Blake: You're right, Lucas. I've seen you take care of these things before.
Mr. Blake: But…?
Mrs. Blake: He'll be fine. Remember, he has Dorimon, and he is our son after all.
They looked at him, and then Mr. Blake's concern was gone. He too believed in Lucas.
Mr. Blake: Alright then.
Robert then walked up to his big brother and Dorimon.
Robert: Go get 'em you two.
Lucas and Dorimon just nodded their heads at Robert. They then looked at each other.
Dorimon: We can do it.
Lucas: We always do. So let's do this!
Lucas pulled his azure Digivice, and it began to beep loudly and Dorimon began to glow. And then…
"Dorimon, Digivolve to… Dorumon!"
Dorumon was now standing in front of everyone again.
Dorumon: Yeah! I'm back and ready for action!
Robert ran up and hugged Dorumon.
Robert: Dorumon!
Dorumon: OK, OK. No need to get that excited.
Lucas then raised his Digivice at Dorumon.
Lucas: Well, let's get going then!
Dorumon: Let's!
Lucas: Reload! Dorumon!
Dorumon was then absorbed inside the Digivice, much to the surprise of Lucas' family. Then began to walk towards the front door.
Mr. Blake: You two be careful out there, alright?
Robert: Go get 'em Lucas and Dorumon!
Mrs. Blake: Make me proud, Lucas.
He turned around to face them before exciting the House.
Lucas: We got this.
Dorumon: We'll be back before you know it.
Lucas then left the House and started sprinting towards the City.
Robert: You can do it, big brother.
-Katy, Houston, Texas, United States-
The Grand Master was on his way back to the computer that brought him from the Digital World. However, he felt a strange chill coming from behind him when he was walking through the alleyways.
BlackGatomon: You're the the so called Grand Master, are you? Or should I call you by your real name? Johnny?
The Grand Master turned around to see the Black Cat of Deceit behind him. The Grand Master knew who it was from what Shade told him about her.
Grand Master: You! What are you doing here!
BlackGatomon began to move closer near the Grand Master.
BlackGatomon: I just though I'll come and enjoy the sights of the Human World. It's much more unique then I thought.
The Grand Master just clenched his Digivice in his right hand.
Grand Master: This is not a place for you! You need to go, now!
BlackGatomon: (Hum)… No.
BlackGatomon giggles with her paw on her mouth as she is enjoying teasing the Grand Master.
BlackGatomon: (Giggles)… What are you gonna do, Johnny? Send your little Digimon partner at me? Oh wait, that's right, you don't have a Digimon partner anymore. From what I heard, he's long gone.
The Grand Master looked at his Digivice. The device was still operational. But the screen was gray.
GrandMaster: Agumon…
BlackGatomon then began to move even closer to the Grand Master.
BlackGatomon: Poor little Johnny. Why do you still have that Digivice? You know he's not coming back?
The Grand Master just looked at BlackGatomon with rage in his eyes.
Grand Master: Stop calling me that! It's not Johnny anymore!
But BlackGatomon only laughed at him for saying that.
BlackGatomon: You think you can forget about you were once were? Oh, that's just sad. No matter how many times you try to forget, that Digivice will always be the example of the failure you brought to both Agumon and your former teammates.
The Grand Master looked down at the ground for a minute, but then he raised his head back at BlackGatomon.
Grand Master: No matter what you say, it won't stop the next generation from defeating whatever evil is out there.
BlackGatomon only laughed again at the Grand Master's words.
BlackGatomon: Oh really? Well then… that's what you think.
BlackGatomon then slowly vanished as she's to one of the dark alleyways.
BlackGatomon: If that is the case, then I'll be sure that this next generation falls like the last one did.
And just like that, BlackGatomon was gone. The Grand Master couldn't help but look at his Digivice again.
Grand Master: Agumon. Everyone. I promise you all… I won't fail this time.
Je then started walking back to the Gate.
Grand Master: That's a promise… that I intend to keep…
-Downtown, Houston, Texas, United States-
The green Dinosaur creature was still tearing apart the entire Downtown area. It sent one flying car after another. But then, Lucas and Dorumon showed up and began to face the monster.
Dorumon: There he is!
Lucas: Okay!
Lucas pulled out his Digivice and started to read the info on it.
Lucas: It says his name is Tuskmon. A Champion Level Dinosaur Type Digimon. Virus Attribute. Those giant horns of his makes him pretty skilled at charging at his enemies.
Dorumon was concerned about those horns on Tuskmon.
Lucas: That means that we'll have to keep a distance from those horns.
Dorumon: Well I have wings, but I think I wouldn't even have to use them.
Lucas: True. And that you're a better charger than him.
They then looked at Tuskmon, who was not paying any attention to them. Lucas turned around to see that nobody was coming to help him this time.
Lucas: Looks like we are on our own this time. But that is just what I wanted.
Dorumon was surprised to hear that from Lucas.
Dorumon: Really?
Lucas: Yes.
Clenching his Digivice in his hand, Lucas was still a little nervous about making Dorumon Digivolve again.
Lucas: Okay, Dorumon. Are you ready for this?
Dorumon: I am. Just say the word.
Lucas then nod his head and looked back at Tuskmon.
Lucas: Okay, first we have to get his attention.
Dorumon: No problem! Metal Blast!
Dorumon fired a silver blast from his mouth that hit Tuskmon, injuring him and making him turn to the two of them.
Tuskmon: (Roars)…
Tuskmon then started to walk over to them.
Dorumon: Here he comes!
Lucas: Right!
Still a little nervous, Lucas kept holding his Digivice tightly. But then everything started to slow down, as he began to think.
Lucas: "At first… I was afraid. I thought I was gonna lose Dorumon again. But since I met that old man, and the advice he gave me, I now come to understand. That I can't keep running from my fears. I have to face them!"
He opened his eyes and pointed his Digivice at Tuskmon.
Lucas: Get ready, Dorumon! It's time!
Dorumon: Here I go!
His Digivice started to glow and beep loudly. Then Dorumon started to get engulfed in light.
"Dorumon, Digivolve to… Dorugamon!"
Dorugamon was looking at Tuskmon right in the eyes as they just stood there, waiting for someone to make the first move.
Lucas: Here we go, Dorugamon!
Dorugamon: (Roars)…
Dorugamon then just started charging at Tuskmon as said Digimon charged back with his mighty horns.
Tuskmon: (Roars)…
They clashed with each other, but Dorugamon seems to have the upper hand in this fight. He threw Tuskmon off as his body began to be coated in metal.
Dorugamon: Cannonball!
Tuskmon was to shaken from that throw to move away.
Lucas: That's it! You got him, Dorugamon!
Dorugamon began to spin and then charged at Tuskmon, but the Dinosaur Digimon then pointed his two horns at Dorugamon, and then a beam was fired out of them.
Tuskmon: Horn Buster!
Despite the fist spinning, the attack hit Dorugamon and sent him back a little ways.
Dorugamon: GGAAAAHH!
Dorugamon landed in the building behind him. But he recovered and quickly got back up.
Dorugamon: (Roars)…
Lucas: Yeah! Go, Dorugamon! Show him who's the real Beast in Town!
Then both Digimon charged at each other again and they slammed their heads at one another. They pushed each other again and again. Tuskmon seemed to be pushing Dorugamon back. But then, Dorugamon dig deep inside himself as his yellow dragon eyes glowed and found the power he needed.
Dorugamon: You… won't… beat… me!
With that, Dorugamon managed to push back and then throw Tuskmon off him.
Tuskmon: AAAH!
Tuskmon landed on the ground, but he got back up and fired his attack again at Dorugamon.
Tuskmon: Horn Buster!
Dorugamon managed to avoid the coming attack and then shot his metal sphere at Tuskmon.
Dorugamon: Power Metal!
The attack hit Tuskmon square on.
Tuskmon: AAAAAAAAAAHH!
Then a purple ring appeared around Tuskmon and he burst into data, only for him to reappear inside a small holographic box from Lucas' azure Digivice.
Lucas: Digimon captured!
After having captured Tuskmon, Dorugamon then returned back to his Rookie Level.
Dorumon: That was easier then I thought.
Lucas: Because you rock, Dorumon.
Then Lucas got down on one knee and put his hands on Dorumon's shoulders.
Lucas: Dorumon. From now on, nothing will ever stop us again.
Dorumon just gave Lucas a smile.
Dorumon: Yeah.
There was a small silence, but then Lucas' stomach made noices.
Lucas: Well except for that. (Fake laugh)…
Well that ruined the touching moment.
Dorumon: Way to ruin the moment.
Lucas: Well excuse me for not having anything to eat this morning!
Dorumon: That was your fault!
Lucas: Oh you wanna go there!?
But while they started arguing, in the distance, David and Elecmon were hiding behind one of the buildings the whole time.
Elecmon: We could have gone out there and help.
David: True. But I think this was something Lucas and Dorumon had to do. I don't know why, but it seems it was.
Of course, Elecmon still couldn't understand anything about David, or other Humans. But he didn't wanna question it.
Elecmon: I'll never understand you Humans.
David: You can barely understand yourself.
Elecmon: I won't lie about that one.
Then they just left, leaving Lucas and Dorumon in their victory. And in their argument.
Lucas: Well I can't help if I get hungry!
Dorumon: Then next time you stay back and eat and I'll do all the hard work again!
Lucas: Oh now you're gonna get it!
Those two will never change.
-The Grand Master's House, Digital Forest, Digital World-
The Grand Master was now sitting on his chair again, looking at his powered yet lifeless Digivice. He was still thinking about his former Digimon partner BlackAgumon.
Grand Master: Oh BlackAgumon, if only you were still here, maybe things would have been different for me. But… in the end, it was you who saved me. I'll never forget you.
He puts his Digivice back on the desk that he got it earlier and moved his chair back to his computer.
Grand Master: I promise, I wouldn't let that last action of yours be for nothing my friend.
-Lucas Blake House, Mission Bend, Houston, Texas, United States-
Lucas and Dorumon got back from their battle with Tuskmon, and from their argument. And now they can enjoy the rest of the day. But no matter what happened, Dorumon was just happy that his friend was back to his old self again.
Dorumon: So Lucas, since we still have time before the day is over, what do you wanna do now?
Lucas: I don't know.
Then, Lucas and Dorumon turned and looked at the Wii U.
Dorumon: Well, I think I know.
Lucas: I know what you're thinking.
Dorumon: Why don't I show you how I play this time?
Lucas just laughed at that. He knew what Dorumon was talking about.
Lucas: You think you can take me in the Wii U, huh?
Dorumon: I can still try, remember?
With a look of determination and confidence, Lucas gave a smile back at Dorumon.
Lucas: Alright then, you're on!
While they began to go head to head in the Wii U, Robert was just peeking through a crack in the door. He too was glad to see that Lucas was back to himself again.
Robert: I'm glad you're back, big brother.
Inside his mind, Robert was a little down that he doesn't have a Digimon partner of his own. But he was just happy to see that his brother was back to normal. At least as normal as can get.
-Unknown Dimension-
Inside his dimension, Dexmon was constructing the strange device in front of him using cables that are coming from his back. He then stopped as he turned around and dimmed his red eye, and then something came out of the grid-like floor.
Dexmon: You know, when I think about it, it has been some time since you and I spoke. Ain't that right… BlackAgumon?
The little creature, tied up in chains around a pillar made of one's and zero's, was the Grand Master's Digimon partner. He was a small T-Rex like creature with black skin and green eyes. Flattened forearms with broad three-clawed hands and a stubby tail.
BlackAgumon: Oh I see, you ran out of people to talk to, so you pulled me out of storage. Well isn't that nice.
Dexmon eye was now glowing in fury.
Dexmon: Shut up! This is exactly why I don't bring you up! You always gave me thag smart alack mouth of yours, and it making sick to my stomach!
But BlackAgumon wasn't scared of the colossal guy in front of him.
BlackAgumon: So why don't you just kill me and be rid of me then?
Dexmon just gave BlackAgumon an evil glare.
Dexmon: I could if I want to, but there is a problem with that.
BlackAgumon was a little confused about that, but he was interested.
BlackAgumon: And by problem, you mean…
Dexmon: If a Digimon is connected to a Digivice, they can't just simple be destroyed. They'll only revert back to a Digiegg. That's the problem with you Digimon's connected to a Human partner and a Digivice.
Now BlackAgumon fully understood why Dexmon never destroyed him before.
BlackAgumon: Now it makes sense. No wonder I'm still alive. That means that Johnny will one day find me, because I'm still alive.
Dexmon laughed a little at that.
Dexmon: (Laughs)… So you think. As long you're in this dimension, your signal is cut off from his Digivice. And with no Digimon signal to detect, the Digivice will assume you're death.
BlackAgumon was in shock. No wonder his partner never found him.
BlackAgumon: So if I'm dead… no wonder Johnny never found me.
Dexmon: That's right. Now, I got other things to take care of. So begone from my sight!
The pillar started to sink back down the floor, sending BlackAgumon back to storage.
BlackAgumon: I promise you this, Dexmon; you're gonna pay!
Then he just vanished underground.
Dexmon: Yes, yes. But as long you're down there, you can't do anything. (Evil laugh)…
-Lucas Blake House, Mission Bend, Houston, Texas, United States-
After an entire day of doubting and not trusting in himself, Lucas found himself asleep with Dorumon next to him. Of course this time, he wasn't having that horrible nightmare. This time, he thought of him and Dorumon and everything the two of them been through so far, and wondering what will happen next for them in the future. Lucas opened one eye at the sleeping Dorumon and he couldn't help but smile at him.
Lucas: "No matter how much you and I differ, in the end, you and me are the same. Its like, you and me connect. Maybe that's how you always seem to reach me even though I may drift off into a vast place in my mind. But… I think it's better that way. I hope we'll always be like this, Dorumon. You and me, pals until the end."
After saying all that in his mind, Lucas closed his eyes and fell right back asleep. Yet, he still continued to have a smile on his face.
-Houston, Texas, United States-
BlackGatomon was on top of one of the buildings again, trying to get over the fact that Lucas was back to his normal self. She had a chance, but she didn't take it. And she was mad at herself for this.
BlackGatomon: MMMRRAAAAWW!
With a loud yell, BlackGatomon punched on the floor in frustration, breaking the floor at the sheer force of her held back strength. She calmed down a littlle and thought about what happened.
BlackGatomon: Why didn't I destroy the boy myself when I had the chance, instead of leaving it to that stupid Tuskmon!
Then, when she stood back up, a black aura was starting to engulf her and her yellow eyes turned to glowing red.
BlackGatomon: Those children, no matter what they always seem to somehow to turn around the situation! Well that's enough!
Then the dark aura was getting so intense, BlackGatomon's entire body started to change into a feminine shape.
BlackGatomon: MMMRAAAAAWW! I swear, when the time I face those miserable runts, they will all regret that they ever met me! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
The black aura was so big now, BlackGatomon was no longer to be seen. But then, two glowing dark red eyes was seen from the darkness that surrounded it. Then, a deep female voice was heard.
?: Next time, they wouldn't survive.
And just like that, the darkness disappeared. And there was no sign of BlackGatomon anywere.
-Kyle Robinson House, Tomball, Houston, Texas, United States-
Ryudamon just woke up from the floor mattress that he was sleeping on and just looked up at the sky through the window. This however, somehow woke Kyle from his sleep as well.
Kyle: Something wrong, Ryudamon?
Ryudamon just continued to look up into the night sky.
Ryudamon: I know I said it before, but is still have this strange feeling that something bad is out there. And now I think it's gotten worse then before.
Kyle heard this a lot from Ryudamon, but now he was starting to believe he was right.
Kyke: Perhaps you might be right. You've been having this same feeling for a while now. And now I'm starting to believe it.
Ryudamon: I know it's hard to believe, but I know that something doesn't feel right.
Kyle was now looking out the window with his Digimon partner. Now he was starting to get a little worried.
Kyle: If what you're saying is true… then we better be ready for it.
But secretly, a strange figure was floating in the night sky with the moon shining behind it.
?: (Evil laugh)…
To be continued…
