Digimon!
In the Water Area, after taking in the scenery, consisting of a lust jungle and a sparkling lake, Tai and Sora pair knew they had no time for a vacation and needed to find a way out, to find Agumon, Biyomon and the other Digimon.
But even so, it was easier said than done.
Concerned for Biyomon and the others, Sora asked. "Tai? Do you think everyone's alright?"
"I'm unsure." Tai admitted, causing a solemn expression to appear on Sora's face, which Tai noticed and made him place his right hand on Sora's shoulder and say with a more cheerful and confident tone. "But I promise you, we will find them."
From the combination of Tai's words, his confidence and the way he looked at her with those caring eyes, Sora couldn't help but smile, feeling a lot better than she had a moment ago, before allowing her feelings to get the better of her as she slowly moved her head toward Tai's.
However, before anything could happen, both heard the combined voices of their partners, only they sounded hostile.
"Pepper Breath!"
"Spiral Twister!"
Acting on his reflexes, Tai grabbed Sora, pulling her down, just before a wave of flames shot past them, before both rose up and were left shocked to see what had happened to their partners.
"Biyomon?" Sora asked, confused upon seeing her partner with black feathers. "What happened to you?"
"Lord Daemon showed helped us realize the truth. We don't need you for anything. So we have come to eliminate you." Biyomon replied with a dark smirk.
Hearing her words, Sora felt her heart break, before pleading with her partner and BlackAgumon. "Please don't do this. You have to fight it. Can't you see you and Agumon are being manipulated?"
"Sorry Sora, but you and Tai mean nothing to us now." Agumon replied, speaking for him and Biyomon, before both were consumed in darkness, which changed, growing in size and shape, horrifying the Digidestined when the two auras of darkness dispersed, revealing their Digimon had Digivolved, reaching their highest, though dark forms, BlackWarGreymon and ShadowGarudamon.
"Now to do what we should've done the day we met." BlackWarGreymon said, smirked, while his tone turned vicious as he then added. "Crush you!"
"I don't think so." Tai said back, drawing out his S-Tector and announced. "Execute! Soul Evolution!"
"WarGreymon X!" He then roared out, transforming from human to Digimon, followed by Sora, where she accessed the power of her S-Tector and called in a strong voice. "Execute! Soul Evolution! Garudamon!"
Staring at his corrupt partner, WarGreymon X got into a fighting stance, glaring at BlackWarGreymon and could see the darkness controlling him, where he then said. "Agumon, I know there real you is in there somewhere."
"And while I don't want to fight you, I'll do whatever I have to in order to save you from Daemon's evil!" He then stated, charging at BlackWarGreymon, where he slammed his right fist in the side of BlackWarGreymon's face, making him stumble back a little from the impact.
"Not bad." BlackWarGreymon admitted.
"But you are no match for me! Black Tornado!" The corrupt Digimon of Courage then yelled, spinning at tremendous speeds as he launched himself at the one he now believed to be his enemy.
"Great Tornado!" WarGreymon X yelled back, mimicking both the speed and attack of his corrupt partner, where the two began to clash and strike each other over and over.
Watching WarGreymon X and BlackWarGreymon continue to fight, Garudamon was broken from her thoughts and conflicted feelings when she heard ShadowGarudamon call out to her, making the Digidestined of Love turn, just before she was struck in the chest and knocked onto her back.
About to get up, Garudamon gasped a little when ShadowGarudamon pressed her foot down on her chest, preventing the Digidestined of Love from getting back up.
"You should really pay attention to yourself instead of worrying so much about your boyfriend." ShadowGarudamon mocked, smiling darkly as she applied further pressure, pushing her foot down upon Garudamon and made her cry out from the pain.
From her pain, ShadowGarudamon scowled as she stared Garudamon down.
"Pathetic. To think I actually wanted to be partnered with a weakling like you." The corrupt Digimon told her former partner, her words causing Garudamon to doubt herself.
"Don't listen to her!" Wargreymon X interrupted, causing both Garudamon to turn, where they saw WarGreymon X and BlackWarGreymon had ceased their tornado attacks and were now trying to up the other with their Dramon Killer gauntlets.
But even with WarGreymon trying to destroy him, WarGreymon X continued to speak.
"Sora, you are one of the strongest Digidestined I know. You have more heart than any girl I know. You are brave, strong, smart. I believe in you and believe you have what it takes to rescue Biyomon." He told the Digidestined of Love.
"Oh, give it a rest with the motivation speeches, Romeo." ShadowGarudamon interrupted, turning her focus, as well as her right arm toward Wargreymon X.
"Blazing Claw!" The dark Digimon then announced, releasing a sphere of black flame that hit WarGreymon X in the side.
And while ShadowGarudamon's attack damaged him a little, it left him open and allowed BlackWargreymon to add to WarGreymon X's pain, slashing across his chest with his Dramon Killer gauntlets, making the leader of the older Digidestined cry out from the added damage to his being.
"Tai!" Garudamon cried out with horror and great concern, unable to do anything but watch as BlackWarGreymon struck WarGreymon X again, knocking him back, where he fell into the water, where BlackWarGreymon chased after him, pulling WarGreymon X's damaged body out of the water by his throat, while drawing out his claw, ready to finish the Digidestined of Courage off.
But being Tai, he wasn't going to go down without a fight.
"Grey Fire Zero!" He yelled, unleashing a single fireball at BlackWarGreymon, striking his face and causing the corrupt Digimon of Courage to drop WarGreymon X as he grasped his flaming face in pain.
And continuing to fight, WarGreymon X held his arms up, causing the water around him to gather up in one massive sphere, which, after bellowing out 'Poseidon Force!', released the attack, only instead of BlackWarGreymon, it headed for ShadowGarudamon, hitting her dead on and knocking her off of Garudamon.
"Garudamon!" WarGreymon X then called out, approaching the fallen Digidestined of Love, where he held out his hand and asked with a concerned voice. "Are you alright?"
But before Garudamon could give an answer, she and WarGreymon X heard the enraged cries of their corrupt partners.
"Tai!" ShadowGarudamon yelled in fury, her being cloaked in black flames as she then stated. "You'll pay for that!"
"Black Flame Hurricane!" The corrupt Digimon of Love then exclaimed, releasing the flames at WarGreymon X, who countered the attack.
"Terra Force!" He yelled, releasing a powerful sphere of energy that clashed with ShadowGarudamon's flames, holding back the attack, before both erupted in a powerful blast, throwing the pair back.
However, rising to his feet, WarGreymon X saw BlackWarGreymon charging at Garudamon, claws drawn as he prepared to strike and destroy the unsuspecting heroine.
"Sora!" WarGreymon X called out in concern for her.
But knowing Garudamon wouldn't be able to counter BlackWarGreymon in time, WarGreymon X acted fast as he used his vernier thrusters, excelling past Garudamon, leaving her, as well as BlackWarGreymon stunned as WarGreymon X preformed the ultimate act of sacrifice and allowed BlackWarGreymon's Dramon Killer claws to pierce right through his chest.
"Tai!" Sora screamed at seeing the Digidestined of Courage being stabbed, just before BlackWarGreymon threw WarGreymon X's body aside, making Garudamon rush over and hold him.
"Why? Tai, tell me why did you do that?" She cried, continuing to embrace the injured Digidestined, who, despite such injuries, sounded cheerful.
"Because I love you." He told her, leaving the Digidestined of Love at a loss for words, while inside, Sora felt her cheeks flush and her heart racing.
"Sorry it took me so long to tell you... I was going to confess to you that day before Matt's performance, but I chickened out..." WarGreymon X then added.
"For the Digidestined of Courage, that's irony if I ever heard it..." He said weakly, laughing at the last part of his statement, just before he was sounded by his Fractal Code and returned to Tai, causing Garudamon to hold Tai close to her, tearing up a little at the combination of Tai's confession and seeing him injured.
"Ohh that's so cute, it makes sick." ShadowGarudamon interrupted, showing she was no longer the sweet and caring Digimon she used to be.
But Garudamon just ignored her corrupt partner's words as she gently set Tai down and smiled at him.
'Tai, why couldn't I see it? The person who was always there to cheer me up when I was down, he was always there to help me. Now I see who I really love.' Garudamon thought, gently tracing a claw across the boy's cheek, before turning to face BlackWargreymon and ShadowGarudamon.
"Now it's my turn to protect you." She said with a more confident tone, knowing BlackWargreymon and ShadowGarudamon were still at the top of their game, while she didn't have as much energy, but also knew if it was Tai in her place, he would continue to fight, even if he reverted to a Koromon.
"Protect him?" BlackWargreymon asked, before stating. "You can't even protect yourself."
"I will fight until the end because I have courage, thanks to Tai." Garudamon replied, her being encircled in a blazing aura as she then added. "And while both of you just have darkness in your hearts, I have love. And that's something that can never be stopped!"
From her words, the flame-like aura around Garudamon's form increased as a massive burst of flames as she let out a powerful cry, actually making BlackWarGreymon and ShadowGarudamon step back a little.
"What's going on?" BlackWarGreymon questioned, sounding a little fearful, watching as the flames enveloped Garudamon completely, while inside the flames and inside of Garudamon, Sora was holding her S-Tector, gazing upon it as a new Spirit symbol appeared on the screen.
"Thank you, Tai." The Digidestined of Love said, seeing that on the screen was the Digital symbol for Courage, only it was coloured pink, making her realize what was coming next.
"I don't care what that is." ShadowGarudamon then stated as she gazed at the inferno covering her good form.
"I'll just destroy it. Shadow Wing Blade!" The corrupt Digimon then exclaimed, gathering black flames around her being, before charging forward.
However, before ShadowGarudamon could even so much as touch the fiery aura, the blaze turned to a shade of orange, before bursting, throwing ShadowGarudamon back, while BlackWarGreymon had to shield himself from the sheer power of the unleashed energy, which when dispersed, revealed Sora, back in her human form and grasping her S-Tector.
"You two are in for it now." The Digidestined of Love stated, making ShadowGarudamon growl a little.
"Do your worst." ShadowGarudamon taunted, words she'd soon regret when she and BlackWarGreymon saw the same blazing flames in Sora's eyes, reflecting her determination as she held up her S-Tector, showing it had the symbols of Courage and Love upon it, before Sora called out in a powerful voice. "Execute! Mega Soul Evolution!"
Combining the powers of her courage and her love, both powers gave Sora the power she needed to turn the tables of her fight in her favour, to which her S-Tector shone with an amber coloured light that then radiated around her, consuming the Digidestined of Love completely and grew in size as the light began to hover in the air.
And after the light dispersed, Sora had changed, taking another step up the line of Digivolution, which stunned the corrupt Digimon upon seeing Sora had taken form as a massive bird that shone with wings of gold and crimson.
"Phoenixmon!" She yelled majestically, making Tai smile at seeing Sora summon her inner strength, while BlackWarGreymon and ShadowGarudamon were left in shock.
"Impossible!" ShadowGarudamon stated upon seeing that Sora had reached her Mega form.
"Even so, it's still two against one. So we can still destroy her and Tai." BlackWarGreymon pointed out, making ShadowGarudamon nod in agreement.
"Mega Destroyer!"
"Black Flame Hurricane!"
From the combination of their attacks, blasts of dark energy and flames struck Phoenixmon, who just remained in the air, shocking the corrupt Digimon when they saw the attacks hit Phoenixmon, but didn't even make her flinch.
"No! Stay away!" ShadowGarudamon said fearfully, backing away alongside BlackWarGreymon as they saw balls of flame grow upon Phoenixmon's wings, but were forced to stop when several wisps broke from the flames, hit the ground around them and caused an uproar of flame, trapping the corrupt Digimon.
"Your hearts have been tainted by darkness. Now it's time to free them and make you remember who you really are." Phoenixmon told ShadowGarudamon and ShadowGarudamon, allowing the flames on her wings to reach full size.
"Star-Light Explosion!" She then exclaimed, throwing the fireballs from wings, striking BlackWarGreymon and ShadowGarudamon, making both cry out from the combination of pain and the purifying effects Phoenixmon's attack had upon those swayed by darkness and evil, before both were each circled by a ring of Data.
"It's over." Phoenixmon stated, landing, where she returned to Sora, withdrew her S-Tector and aimed it at BlackWarGreymon and ShadowGarudamon's forms
"Time for you two to rejoin the winning team. Fractal Code Digitize!" Sora called out, ridding both of the corrupted Data within the Digimon.
And with the evil hold Daemon had on them now gone, BlackWarGreymon and ShadowGarudamon De-Digivolved, turning back to their Rookie forms, back to Agumon and Biyomon, who were physically and mentally exhausted after all they had been through and collapsed to their stomachs.
"Nice work, Sora." Tai commented, causing Sora to turn and smile upon seeing the brunette had recovered, making The Digidestined of Love approach Tai and wrap her arms around him.
"I couldn't have done it without you." Sora said in reply, continuing to hold Tai close to her, before showing how much the Digidestined of Courage meant to her as she then kissed him, surprising Tai at first, before the warmth in his heart and warmth of Sora's lips made the brunette return the kiss.
"I love you, too, Tai." The Digidestined of Love said as she and Tai broke from their kiss, but remained in each other's arms.
However, the pair separated when they heard soft groans from Agumon and Biyomon, looked over and saw not only were their partners slowly regaining consciousness, but a Sakkakumon eye had appeared, showing they had cleared the area and were free to leave.
And after Tai had picked up Agumon, while Sora had lifted Biyomon into her arms, the pair headed through the eye, ready to take on whatever challenges Daemon would throw at them, together
