After TaoKrubbimon and WarKrowlmon struck each other, both landed before their Tamers, ready to continue their fight.

And while Samantha and TaoKrubbimon knew that during most of their time as Tamers, they had been enjoying each day with friends, family and those who cared about them, Kakeru and WarKrowlmon had been hidden in the Digital World, suffering, but also growing stronger in terms of power and darkness.

However, Samantha and TaoKrubbimon were determined to save their brothers from the lies that filled their heads and the evil blackening their hearts.

"Spirit Laser!" TaoKrubbimon called out, unleashing a powerful light magic from her hands.

"Tailsman Blaster!" WarKrowlmon roared in response, unleashing a blast of energy from his chest that cut through TaoKrubbimon's attack and struck her down.

"TaoKrubbimon!" Samantha called out, concerned, while Kakeru and WarKrowlmon glared at the duo, before Kakeru scoffed.

"Pathetic. If that's all you can do, this fight will end much sooner than expected." He said, before nodding at WarKrowlmon, who nodded back.

"Double Blade Strike!" WarKrowlmon called out, jumping into the air and drawing out his Pendulum Blades, which he planned to use to stab right through TaoKrubbimon's chest.

However, as he landed, bringing down his arms and blades, he and Kakeru were surprised to see TaoKrubbimon fight back, to which she managed to get a firm grasp on both of WarKrowlmon's wrists and was keeping the blades back from piercing through her.

"You can't hold out forever." WarKrowlmon stated, applying more pressure and forcing his arms down, lowering them closer to TaoKrubbimon's chest, making her groan a little.

But to his confusion, TaoKrubbimon smiled.

"You are right, but you forgot one thing, I am not fighting alone." TaoKrubbimon replied, confusing Kakeru and WarKrowlmon for a moment until they heard Samantha call out in a strong voice. "Digi-Modify! Dokugumon: Poison Thread activate!"

With that, Samantha unleashed the power of her Digimon Card, giving it to TaoKrubbimon and caught WarKrowlmon off guard as she suddenly spat out a thick strand of web from her mouth, which splattered across WarKrowlmon's face, making him stumble back, for the web not only stung his face, but had also blinded him.

"WarKrowlmon!" Kakeru called out, sounding concerned for his Digimon partner and could only watch as WarKrowlmon tried to remove the webbing obscuring his vision.

With WarKrowlmon now blinded, TaoKrubbimon saw her chance to fight back, making her call out. "Samantha, now's our chance. Let's rescue our brothers!"

Samantha nodded in reply as she withdrew another Card, believing it to be the most helpful in their battle.

"Digi-Modify! Snimon: Twin Sickles activate!" She announced, slashing the Card through her D-Power, which replaced TaoKrubbimon's arms with a pair of scythe-like appendages.

And while Samantha and TaoKrubbimon felt that they were cheating a little in their fight, they knew they had to do whatever it took to stop WarKrowlmon so he and Kakeru would listen to what they had to say, to which TaoKrubbimon then charged at WarKrowlmon and prepared to strike him down.

However, despite his disadvantage WarKrowlmon showed his power was still superior as he roared out and slashed forward, which not only stopped TaoKrubbimon's attack, but also slashed through and destroyed TaoKrubbimon's scythe arms, causing her arms to revert back to their normal appearance, while she was knocked down once again.

"TaoKrubbimon!" Samantha called out once again, approaching her fallen partner, before she tried to help TaoKrubbimon back up.

"Big mistake, kid." Lucemon said from the sides, enjoying the conflict between the four and the anguish Samantha and TaoKrubbimon were soon going to feel.

"Megido Spark!" WarKrowlmon exclaimed as the Digital Hazard symbol on his chest turned red and unleashed a blast of red electricity from its core, making TaoKrubbimon and Samantha both cry out as they were electrocuted.

Unable to take anymore, Samantha and TaoKrubbimon collapsed onto their stomachs, TaoKrubbimon De-Digivolved back to Ruilmon, while both had pained expressions on their faces and were left helpless, unable to get back up after sustaining such an attack, which made them easy pickings for WarKrowlmon, who grabbed both tightly, held them up and was about to finish them off.

"Kak... Kakeru, this isn't the real you... Please listen to me... I know there is good in both of you..." Samantha managed to say, feeling WarKrowlmon's hold on her then tighten.

"You can't fool us. We know you're on the same side as those who abandoned us." Kakeru said back in a spiteful tone.

"Samantha is telling the truth... You were meant to fight with us..." Ruilmon said, trying to reason with her brother, but cried out as she felt WarKrowlmon crush her further, making her plead. "Please, brother, stop this, or the very least, release Samantha..."

Hearing Ruilmon's request to stop harming Samantha, as well as her call him brother left WarKrowlmon and Kakeru conflicted and also caused the hold WarKrowlmon had on Samantha and Ruilmon to loosen a little.

"Why did you call me that?" WarKrowlmon questioned.
"It's because I am your twin sister, just like Samantha is Kakeru's sister..." Ruilmon groaned out, which just conflicted Kakeru and WarKrowlmon further.

"If we're related that means you were raised by the same monsters who threw us away like trash." Kakeru stated, feeling his anger return, as did WarKrowlmon, causing him to resume crushing Samantha and Ruilmon.

"They never did that! Our parents told us the truth... You were taken away by Lucemon, where he's been filling your heads with lies..."

Hearing Samantha's words caused Kakeru to question his actions and himself.

'If she really is my sister and shows so much care toward me, even though she was raised by the same parents who supposedly abandoned me and Genamon, are they really that bad?'

"Hold on for a moment." Lucemon interrupted, causing Samantha, Ruilmon, Kakeru and WarKrowlmon to look at him.

"As much as I am enjoying all this suffering, I have an offer that's sure to make everyone happy." The Hazard angel stated, which caused Samantha and Ruilmon to glare at Lucemon, wondering what twisted ideas he had.

"And what is that?" Ruilmon questioned.

"Samantha, Ruilmon, you both have shown great promise but such power is wasted in working with the humans and the Tamers. Sever your bonds with them and pledge your loyalty to Lord Spectermon. Not only will you gain power beyond imagination, but you will fight together as brother and sister in assisting Lord Spectermon and his ambition in conquering both worlds."

"Are you... kidding me...? You know we will never join you!" Samantha snarled as her D-Power glowed again, before Ruilmon, renewed with energy, reached her Ultimate form once again and pushed her brother off them, surprising them by their surprise turn of power.

"What!?" Lucemon questioned, shocked by the sudden change in TaoKrubbimon's power as well.

"We never serve the likes of you! Spirit Laser!" TaoKrubbimon called out as she fired another beam of light, which was twice as strong, which hit WarKrowlmon in the chest, causing him to yell in pain.

'W... where did all this power come from?' WarKrowlmon thought in agony, before he couldn't hold his strength much longer and De-Digivolved back to Genamon, making him crash to the ground.

Kakeru was shocked to see Genamon defeated as Ruilmon, who reverted back to her Rookie form as well, couldn't believe on what happened.

"I... I won... I defeated my brother." Ruilmon said in surprise, filling Samantha with pride, while Lucemon snarled at this.

"No... we're not done yet. Genamon, get back up!" Kakeru ordered, watching as Genamon struggled to get back up.

"No, Kakeru. Don't go on like this. You gotta believe us!" Samantha called out, concerned.

However, consumed by his hatred, Kakeru snarled. "We will not believe a word you say!"

"But you will believe in our words, Kakeru!"

Samantha and Ruilmon turned around in surprise to see Takato, Rika, Guilmon and Renamon behind them, before Rika and Renamon walked past them and as Samantha and Ruilmon was about to ask what they were planning, Takato and Guilmon put a hand on their daughter's shoulders, stopping them.

"This is a mother thing." Takato told Samantha, causing her and Ruilmon to nod, before watching Rika and Renamon, wondering what their parents were planning to do.

"Kakeru, Genamon, you may not want to believe a word your sister says but they are telling the truth. Maybe hearing your mother's words would change your minds." Rika said to Kakeru and Genamon.

Kakeru's eyes widened as he heard that.

"So you… you are my mother… the one who abandoned me?!" He questioned, feeling nothing but hate as he stared at the redhead and her Digimon partner.

"That's a lie! I never abandoned you at all! I would have raised you to be a great Tamer like your sister. We loved you and we still do." Rika called out.

"But..." Kakeru started to say, only for Renamon to cut in

"It's Lucemon who should be your enemy! He's been filling your minds with lies. We never abandoned you. Lucemon took you away from us." Renamon stated.

"But that's... impossible..." Genamon said as he looked at Guilmon and Renamon in worry.

"Genamon, Kakeru, Rika and I, as well as your fathers, we really want to have you back in our arms, to be reunited as a family." Renamon said in an honest tone.

"If you come back to us, we will love you no matter what. After all, isn't that what a mother supposed to do? So please leave Lucemon and come back to us." Rika pleaded.

Kakeru and Genamon were stumped by all the affection Rika and Renamon were telling them.

"You two be silent! How would I be able to get their dark powers if you interfered!" Lucemon blurted out enraged, before he then realised what he had said.

Confused and shocked, Genamon questioned. "What? You want our dark powers?"

"Then you have lied to us our entire lives!" Kakeru snarled, angered that he and Genamon had been taken from their families and gradually brainwashed over the years.

"You meddling Tamers! Grand Cross!" Lucemon yelled as he launched ten orbs of light at Rika and Renamon.

"Renamon!" Guilmon called out in concern, knowing that even with his power cut down since the last time they had fought, Lucemon's Grand Cross attack was one of the most deadliest attacks a Rookie could use.

But to their surprise...

"Mum!"

Kakeru and Genamon rushed over to them, pushed their mothers aside and took the blows themselves, making the boys cry out, before both were blasted back to the ground, lying near dead.

"Kakeru!" Rika cried out in pure concern as she and Renamon, Takato and Guilmon and Wizardmon rushed to their side.

"Genamon!" Renamon cried out, picking up and holding her Genamon close to her, causing Guilmon to run over to his wife and son and beg. "Stay with us!"

"I'll help them out. You two join your daughters take down Lucemon." Wizardmon told Takato.

"You Tamers are a troublesome lot. Awakening memories in others better left forgotten." Lucemon snarled, before yelling. "I would have gotten Kakeru and Genamon's Hazard powers if not for your meddling!"

"How dare you!" Ruilmon snarled as her hatred for the evil Digimon grew.

"You'll pay for what you've done! We'll never forgive you!" Samantha snarled as her D-Power powered up.

"And what will you do to stop me?" Lucemon asked, before a dark smirk appeared on his face, while a dark aura began to radiate around his form.

"I may have failed in gaining the dark powers your brothers have, but I have obtained more than enough power over the years through the anger and hatred Kakeru and Genamon held in their hearts." Lucemon told Samantha and Ruilmon.

"Now to release it!" He announced, letting out a wicked laugh as his entire being was consumed by darkness, which then erupted, revealing Lucemon had changed form.

No longer stood the child-like Digimon clad in a robe, but now stood a new Digimon.

While he maintained his original wings on the right side of his body, black, demonic wings had grown on the left.

The white robe he wore before had vanished, replaced by a dark ensemble, while his face looked older and more twisted than ever.

"This isn't good. Lucemon's managed to Digivolve back to his original form." Guilmon said, concerned for the safety of Samantha and Ruilmon.

However, Samantha and Ruilmon showed no fear upon seeing Lucemon's new form, but instead showed nothing but courage and determination as both were encircled in auras of red light.

"Ruilmon Biomerge to..." Ruilmon began to say as she and Samantha combined their power and beings into a new form, gaining a mix of Sakuyamon's body, but with Gallantmon's colours and wielded a staff, alongside a lance.

"KnightTaomon!" The Digimon announced proudly, their voice a mixture of Samantha and Ruilmon's, which left all stunned to see the pair had managed to perform a successful Biomerge.

And while both could sense their daughter's power, Takato and Guilmon knew Lucemon would still prove a challenge, causing Takato to say. "Rika, Renamon, take care of Kakeru and Genamon. Leave Lucemon to us."

"Let's do this, Guilmon!" Takato called in a strong tone as he withdrew his D-Power, fusing both their bodies and energies, causing a familiar voice to then call out proudly. "Guilmon Biomerge to... Gallantmon!"

As both knight Digimon stood before Lucemon, Lucemon crossed his arms.

"Do you two think you can defeat me?" He asked, knowing Gallantmon was a worthy foe and guessed KnightTaomon would prove just as troublesome, but also knew that with the darkness he had absorbed, his power would make him a harbinger of absolute destruction.

"You used Kakeru and Genamon as part of your schemes. And for that, we will make you pay for what you've done!" Gallantmon snarled, holding out his lance at the fallen angel.

"Your evil ends here, Lucemon!" KnightTaomon snarled, mimicking her father as she held out her lance, before she and Gallantmon charged at Lucemon, beginning their battle against the Digimon who had destroyed their family, determined to rid the Digital World of Lucemon and his evil.
