"The Legend of the DigiDestineds"
Please enjoy and review!
Getting multiple distress signals on their Digivices when they finally reached the island, Izzy, Mimi and Davey had their Digimon quickly Digivolve and rushed off to help their friends.
Arrving in a village that was filled with baby Digimon, the group found TK, Tai, Matt, Patamon, Greymon and Garurumon facing off against Leomon and Ogremon.
Matt was kneeling by Garurumon's side while the blue wolf was trapped under bolders.
Greymon was lying on his back with Tai hovering around him.
Finally, Leomon was advancing on TK and had Patamon in his hold, squeezing the small critter tightly.
Quickly, the other Digimon all charged in to help their friends.
Kabuterimon released Togemon from his hold and the large plant Digimon sailed down towards Leomon while Bellemon swooped down.
"Wanna fight? How about a prickly zam zoom!" Togemon cried as she tackled Leomon.
Patamon fell free from the lion's hold and he landed on the ground in front of TK.
"Patamon!" TK said as he ran over and picked him up.
Kabuterimon then flew down from the sky with Mimi and Izzy on his back.
ExVeemon soon followed with Davey sitting on his shoulders and Bellemon flew beside the dragon.
"Tai, you're never gonna believe this!" Izzy called down to the goggle wearing boy.
"What's happenin' Izzy?" Tai asked as Izzy and Mimi jumped off of Kabuterimon as they made their way over to Tai.
Landing on the ground, ExVeemon then set Davey down beside the two 10 year olds.
"We have a consummate solution to all of our problems." Izzy told him.
Getting off the ground, matt then rushed over to his younger brother and stood in front of him to protect the little boy from Leomon.
"That's cool, but what are you talkin' about?" Tai asked.
"Check 'em out." Mimi said.
She, Izzy and Davey all pulled out their Digivices and held them out for Tai to look at them.
"They call them Digivices. They have the capability to completely obliterate the black gear." Izzy explained.
"They get rid of the evil that's inside of the Digimon. It's why Devimon was scared off by them the other night." Davey spoke up.
Eyes lighting up in rememberance of the night Catmon had first Digivolved into Bellemon to save Davey from Devimon, Tai then pulled out his own Digivice and stared down at it with a determined expression.
"Then let's give 'em a try. We have no other choice right now. We have to take a chance and stop him." Tai said as he began running over to where Leomon stood.
"He's not going to do something stupid is he?" Davey asked as she watched the goggle head rush off in worry.
"Don't worry, Nia. We won't let anything happen to any of you." Bellemon assured as she placed a gloved hand on top of the girl's head.
"Don't worry, I've got you covered, TK." Matt said as he stood protectively in front of TK and Patamon.
Leomon was walking towards them, intent on attacking the brothers.
"Ready for a real fight?" Tai asked making everyone look over at the boy.
Stopping, Leomon glanced over at the brunette boy who was stridding towards him confidently.
"What are you waiting for, booger breath? Come and get us if you dare." Tai taunted.
"What's up, dude? Have you totally flipped out?" Matt asked shocked and confused by his friend's new found courage.
"I must do as I am commanded. Come here." Leomon growled as he reached out for the boy.
"Now!" Tai yelled as he held out his digivice.
The Digivice then beeped as bright white light shone from the device and the light made Leomon cry out in pain as the black gears slowly started to leave his body.
Stunned by what he was seeing, Matt then grew serious as he pulled out his Digivice and stared down at it with realization in his eyes.
"You know, these things pack quite a punch." Matt said as he stood beside Tai and held out his digivice as light shone from the device.
"How'd they do that? Rotten kids." Ogremon said.
"Ogremon, over here!" Izzy cried making the green guy look over.
"You've just begun to see our power. Electro Shocker!" Kabuterimon said releasing his attack.
Ogremon cried out as he dodged the attack, but yelled when Bellemon released her Feather Frenzy on him and then ExVeemon followed up with his X Laser.
Not wanting to be attacked by the children's partners any longer, Ogremon ran off as quickly as he could into the forest to escape them.
Finally, the last of the black gears faded out of Leomon's body and were destroyed as the lion shrunk down to normal size as his natural color returned.
"That's that." Tai said.
"It worked! We destroyed the black gears!" Izzy cheered.
"We're safe now. Leomon's back to his normal self." TK cheered.
"This better not happen again or else I'm gonna be serious ticked off." Davey huffed.
(Later...)
With Leomon no longer under Devimon's control, the lion led the DigiDestineds over to a large tree nearby and they sat under it as he began to tell them the tale of the Chosen Children.
"According to ancient legend, our world will be taken over by a strange dark force that will turn good Digimon into bad ones. Our ancestors had predicted that a group of children called the DigiDestinds will appear from another world. When they arrive, they will come to possess superb powers that will save our world from destruction. I believe their prediction has come true. File Island has been seized by an evil power, in danger of destruction and now you've appeared." Leomon explained.
"Whoa, that's amazing, but tell me, how can you be sure we're the kids you're talking about?" Tai asked.
"Yeah, do you have some proof that we're the same ones?" Matt questioned.
"It's been foretold that the DigiDestinds have the ability to make Digimon Digivolve. You've done that and it's all the proof I need." Leomon said.
"I, for one, hope that it's true." Izzy said making everyone look at him.
"Why's that, Izzy?" Davey asked the boy.
"My theory is that we will be released once we save the island. If our purpose is served, there is no other reason for us to remain." The redhead explained.
"And I'll finally be able to change these clothes." Mimi grinned.
"That's right. If Leomon's information is correct, we'll be heading straight for home." Izzy informed.
"I can't wait." Mimi said happily.
"But how can we make it happen? We're not even sure who's causing it. What if it's a force that's too big for us to handle?" Matt asked as he looked over at Infinity Mountain.
"You see, Devimon is the main cause of all this evil. To save the island, you're going to have to defeat him." Leomon said.
"Let's go for it." Tai said standing up.
Most of the other children made sounds of protest as they stared at the ground, uncertain of what they next step would be.
"Come on everyone, why not? If we don't defeat him, then it'll never be over." Tai said as Izzy stood up.
"Fine with me. Besides, it's impossible for us to lose with the digivices." The redhead said as Mimi stood up too.
"First thing on my list when I get home is to do some killer shopping." She smiled.
"For that to happen, we have to get you back home." Palmon said.
"If we all work together, we're sure to win." Tentomon suggested.
"I'm ready for a fight. Let's beat this creep!" Davey cheered.
"We'll be by your side." Veemon smiled as he stood on her left side.
"We can do this together." Catmon grinned as she stood on Davey's right.
"I'm ready whenever you are, buddy." Agumon said standing up too.
"How about it, Matt? Are we up to the challenge my friend?" Gabumon asked the older blond, making him look down as he thought about it.
"It's gonna be tough. When you get down to it, we have no other choice." Matt said.
"Me too, right Patamon?" TK asked as he stood up.
"Right." Patamon laughed.
"All right then troops, let's get to it." Leomon commanded.
"Far out, it's a done deal." Tai smiled confidently.
With everyone in agreement with their next step, the DigiDestineds and their Digimon followed Lemon as he located a boat to sail them off towards Infinity Mountain.
"Devimon is very powerful. He's brought nothing but trouble to File Island. We must be careful." Leomon warned as he steered the boat closer to the island.
Reaching the island, Leomon docked the boat and started leading the group off towards the mountain that held Devimon's lair on top of it.
Suddenly, black gears started to swarm around the island as a dark cloud formed around the tip of Infinety Mountain.
Then, the sky darkened as the ground began to quake making the group cry out in surprise as they tried to steady themselves.
"Can't turn back now." Tai cried over the rumbling.
On the top of the mountain, a larger Devimon broke through the roof of his base making everyone gasp at the size of the demonic Digimon.
"What in the world is that?" Mimi asked.
"It must be Devimon." Tai said.
"I didn't expect him to be such a big guy." Palmon spoke up.
"Bad guys always seem to think bigger is better." Izzy commented.
"Afraid not. The power that Devimon possess is emence, so be careful." Leomon warned as he appeared worried.
Devimon then spread his wings and took to the air making everyone stare at the evil creature as he made his way down the mountain.
"He's here!" Tai cried as Devimon flew over their heads and landed in forest behind them.
Feeling a terrible sense of dread, the group all stared at the giant demon as he slowly started to turn towards them, a twisted grin on his face.
"Uh, Agumon, you better digivolve." Tai said nervously.
"Right." Agumon whimpered.
Spinning around, Devimon created a gust from his body's movements that sent the DigiDestineds and their Digimon flying back into the mounatin while Leomon braced himself against the attack.
Raising his hand towards the group, Devimon then unleashed a blast of black energy that paralyzed the group making them cry out in pain as electricity surged through their bodies.
Once she was hit with the surge of dark energy, Davey's illusion faded away and her cat ears and tail were on full display as her powers began to focus on healing her body of the pain that was coursing through it.
Leomon pulled out his knife to attack Devimon, but the demon held out his other hand and sent a blast of dark energy at the lion, sending him back as well.
"You are fools. Don't expect me to play silly games with you, I'm far too wise for that." Devimon said.
Everyone cried out as they struggled to move or run away, but couldn't.
"Harpoon Torpedo!" A familiar voice cried out.
Lights were then seen shooting up into the air as Devimon was surprisingly hit by the attack, stunning him long enough to release the DigiDestineds who fell to the ground.
"That's a bull's eye, Ikkakumon." Joe said as he stood with his partner below the mountain.
Birdramon then soared through the sky as she released her Meteor Wing on Devimon, making him groan in pain.
Shaking her head, Davey felt herself quickly heal from the attack and glanced around to see everyone wasn't paying attention to her, so she pulled her illusion back up before anyone saw her in her true form.
"Is everyone okay?" She asked as she glanced over at Veemon and Catmon.
"Oi, my head." Veemon groaned as he lifted himself up.
Sora then ran towards her downed friends, worry written across her face as she raced towards them.
"Quick everybody, there's no time to waste! We've got to strike rigth away." Sora called.
"Digivolve!" Tai said looking at Agumon.
"You got it. Ready, gang?" Agumon asked.
"Mm-hmm." the other digimon nodded.
"Agumon Digivolve too...GREYMON!"
"Yeah, go Greymon!" Tai called.
"Gabumon Digivolve too...GARURUMON!"
"Let's turn this guy into pudding." Matt glared.
"Tentomon Digivolve too...KABUTERIMON!"
"My biology teacher would love this." Izzy commented.
"Palmon Digivolve too...TOGEMON!"
"I do like the way our colors match." Mimi said.
"Veemon digivolve too...EXVEEMON!"
"Catmon Digivolve too...BELLEMON!"
"Tear that guy apart!" Davey cried.
Greymon started the fight off with his Nova Blast and Garurumon followed up with Howling Blaster as he pounced on Devimon, sinking his fangs into his arm.
"I think he's got him." Tai said.
Devimon then threw Garurumon down and the wolf landed on top of Greymon.
"Oh no!" Matt gasped.
"Your attacks are pitiful. I'm afraid you'll have to try harder than that." Devimon taunted.
Kabuterimon then fired off his Electro Shocker and ExVeemon was quick to use his X Laser.
"So, you want a Needle Spray, do ya?" Togemon asked as she then released the needles from her body.
"Take this!" Bellemon cried as released her Feather Frenzy from her wings.
"Give up you fools, it's useless!" Devimon said as he hit Togemon down from the mountain and threw Kabuterimon into the sky.
"Oh, poor Togemon!" Mimi exclaimed.
"Kabuterimon!" Izzy called.
As Devimon was about to hit Bellemon, ExVeemon was quick to fly in front of her and was struck instead.
"ExVeemon!" Bellemon and Davey cried out as they watched the dragon fall to the ground.
Leomon roared as he charged at Devimon's back, knife at the ready.
"You're mine now!" Leomon cried.
Then, Ogremon sprung out of Devimon's back stunning Leomon.
"You!" Leomon exclaimed.
"You've got no chance against the likes of us, kitty cat." Ogremon taunted as Leomon growled at him.
Leomon was then blasted by a dark beam of energy by Ogremon who laughed as the lion was flung back into the forest.
Devimon was squeezing Birdramon as the large bird squeaked as she tried to free herself and Bellemon flew down to help her friend.
"You're not worth my time." Devimon said.
"Birdramon!" Sora called.
"Let her go!" Bellemon yelled.
She then used her Paradise Crucifix, the bright golden light making Devimon cry out in pain.
Turning to glare at the angel through clenched eyes, Devimon then threw Birdramon at Bellemon.
"Out of my sight!" He yelled.
The two female Digimon then crashed into Greymon and Garurumon, knocking them down.
ExVeemon then used his V Laser to blast Devimon in the back of the head and the demonic digimon grunted in pain as he turned around to face the dragon.
"You pathetic creature, leave me be!" Devimon growled as he slashed his claws at ExVeemon.
Screaming from the attack, ExVeemon fell towards the ground, but he was caught by a weak Kabuterimon who flew his friend to safety.
"You're next." Devimon said as he grabbed Ikkakumon.
"Ikkakumon!" Joe called as Devimon threw the white furry beast at Kabuterimon, sending them both back.
"Oh boy! There's nobody left. What do we do, Patamon?" TK asked looking terrified.
Devimon then swerved around to stare down at the little blonde boy.
"Now to get rid of you. Then I'll have nothing fear. They saw the smallest will destroy me and I'm not going to let that happen." Devimon declared as he reached out towards the boy.
"Don't move. Make it easy on both of us." Devimon said as TK and Patamon whimpered.
"No!" Davey yelled as she stood up and ran over.
Seeing their partner running, ExVeemon and Bellemon flew after Devimon and grabbed at his horns, pulling him back fromt he two youngest children.
Getting up as well, Matt started running over to his brother while Garurumon pouncing on Devimon, fangs sinking into his shoulder.
"TK, run!" Matt cried out.
Standing up, Greymon grabbed onto one of Devimon's legs and sunk his fangs in as he tried to hold him down.
Birdramon attacked Devimon's face while Kabuterimon grabbed one of Devimon's arms and Ikkakumon attached himself to the giant's other leg and Togemon jumped up on one of Devimon's legs.
"TK, are you okay?" Davey asked as she stopped beside TK who glanced at the girl.
"I'm fine." He nodded at her, but still looked shaken from almost being attacked.
"You seem to forget; I am Devimon, supreme master of this island and I have power over all digimon. And no one can defeat me!" Devimon yelled.
A blast of dark energy then exploded from his body, sending the Digimon all flying back from him.
Curling her body around TK's more fragile one, Davey cried out as she felt herself being flung off her feet and thrpwn into the mountain behind her.
The rest of the DigiDestineds all cried out as they were thrown back by the dark energy, bodies slamming into the ground painfully.
Unharmed since Davey had taken the full force of the attack, TK opened his eyes and glanced down at Davey who still had her arms wrapped around him.
"Davey, are you hurt?" He asked her.
"I'm fine." She grunted as she opened her eyes to reveal they were glowing pink.
"Whoa, that guy knows how to take it out of ya." Greymon commented as he lied on the ground.
"I can't move. Even my needles feel numb." Togemon rasped.
"Now's probably not a good time to take a nap." Kabuterimon said as Ikkakumon groaned in pain.
Grunting in pain, Bellemon tried to force herself into a kneeling position while ExVeemon slowly sat up, whining at the pain that was throbbing through his body.
"This is bad." Tai said with a shaky voice.
"Matt!" TK cried when he saw Devimon advancing on him and Davey once again.
"You will be mine." Devimon glared down at Davey and TK.
Turning her head over to Devimon, the feral glared up at him and covered TK's body protectively as she bared her fangs at him.
"Hey, get ready to run." Matt whispered over to his brother as Devimon reached out for the two 7 year olds.
Patamon, determined to protect his partner, flew up and released his Boom Bubble at Devimon's hand to stop him, but the air simply bounced off the demon's skin.
Tears sprung to Patamon's eyes as he started to feel utterly useless as TK clung to Davey, burrying his head in her shoulder as he shook in fear.
As for Davey, she simply stayed where she was as she prayed her regenerative cells would be able to protect her from Devimon if she took the brunt of the attack.
"Patamon, help!" TK whimpered.
Snapping out of his fearful state of mind, Patamon felt a great surge of courage swell inside of him as he pushed his fears away to save his partner.
"I'll save you, TK!" Patamon called as he flew down and Devimon clenched his fist around the little Rookie's body.
"Hang on, pal!" Matt cried.
Then, TK's Digivice finally glowed as Patamon was covered in light, stunning everyone as they stared on.
"What?" Devimon's eyes grew wide as he then shouted in pain as he released the glowing orb as it rose into the sky.
"What's that?" Mimi asked.
"It's a..." Izzy trailed off.
"It's Patamon. He must be Digivolving." Sora said.
"Yay. Why didn't he do it earlier?" ExVeemon groaned as he stood up with Bellemon clinging to his arm.
"Patamon Digivolve too...ANGEMON!"
Hovering in the sky and surrounded in light was a man with long orange hair, a bronze helmet on his head that covered his eyes, a white body suit, a blue sash and he had six white angel wings on his back.
"Hey, Patamon finally Digivolved!" Joe exclaimed with Ikkakumon at his side.
Everyone stared up at the handsome angel Digimon in awe as he glowed with pure energy in the darkness.
"That's super cool." Sora said as she stared upwards.
"Not bad. That little guy really had it in him." Matt commented.
"Nice hair. Good color." Mimi spoke up.
"I wanna take him home with me." TK said as he stared up at his angel.
"Eh, he's not really my type." Bellemon shrugged.
"What's this? Another foolish attempt?" Devimon asked as he stared at Angemon.
"The forces of good are more powerful. Even you can't stop us. I'll destroy you and bring peace to the island." Angemon said as he raised his staff that he held.
Just then, all the Digivices glowed as they sent out pillars of light towards Angemon as all the Champions returned to their Rookie forms.
"That light is so bright. What are you doing to me? Stop it! I'm not going to allow you to take my power away! You'll have to fight me!" Devimon shouted.
"I'm afraid I have no other choice. If I can help others, my fate is unimportant." Angemon said as he twirled his staff above his head.
"Angemon!" TK cried out.
"Your powers have gotten far out of control and must be extinguished. I am ready to fight for peace." Angemon said as he held out his staff in a fighting stance.
Ogremon then shot out of Devimon's chest, trying to get the angel, but he was driven back by the yellow light that was glowing from the staff.
"Now you've done it." Devimon gritted his teeth.
Angeomon's staff shrunk and faded away as it transformed into an orange light that glowed around his right fist.
"Be careful!" TK yelled as Devimon laughed and stalked towards Angemon.
"I'll get him, relax." Angemon spoke in a soft, comforting voice to TK and that made tears appear in the blonde boy's eyes.
"Come here, pretty boy!" Devimon said as he began to close his clawed hands over him.
"I'll stop you!" Angemon said as he sent out the blast of light right through the evil Digimon.
Everyone was blinded by the light as they covered their eyes, but soon enough the brightness faded away allowing everyone to see what had happened.
Both Angemon and Devimon were slowly breaking down into data particles.
"You have used up all your power. That wasn't very smart, Angemon. Now you are no use to anyone. You can't get away from the dark forces. Evil is everywhere, so don't savour your victory. There are other Digimon that are just as powerful as I am. Some of them are even stronger. I wonder what you'll do when you run into them. You haven't won at all. What a waste of time!" Devimon laughed.
With those final words, Devimon finally disappeared as Angemon stared forward, thinking about the demon's warning.
"Angemon!" TK cried making the angel look back at his partner.
"TK, I'll come back again. If you want me to." Angemon said as he smiled.
And then, the last of the data faded away as pure white feathers floated in the sky.
"ANGEMON!" TK yelled with tears falling down his face.
Dropping to his knees, TK began to sob loudly at the loss of his best friend and a sad Davey walked over to him, kneeling down beside the boy and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"TK, please don't cry. I'm sure Angemon isn't really gone. He said that he would come back, didn't he? If he said, then he meant it." Davey told him.
Still crying, TK buried his face in his hands, unaware of the feathers that fell to the ground in front of him while the rest of the team all walked over to the children.
The feathers then began to glow as they gathered together and TK looked down when he saw the light shining in his face.
Staring at the feathers, TK watched as they transformed into a large orange and white striped egg.
"What do ya know, it's a digi egg." Tentomon commented.
"Do you think it could be Angemon?" TK asked hopefully.
"I know it is. He's just resting for a while to regain his strength." Gabumon said.
"But don't worry. You'll see him again when he digivolves." Palmon assured.
"That's something you should always remember about Digimon. We never die, we always come back." Veemon said as he and Catmon stood together.
"I'll make sure to take real good care of him. You saved my life Angemon." TK said as he picked up the egg and hugged it.
"Huh? Look, the island is coming back together again." Sora pointed out.
Pieces of land were drifting back towards the island, piecing itself back together.
"Exactly, Devimon's been defeated. When he was eliminated the islands returns to its original state." Izzy said.
"What's with those other evil Digimon across the sea?" Matt asked as he remembered Devimon's final words to them.
"Yeah, I thought we were going home." Joe said in confusion.
"I don't wanna have to fight again. Oh, I think I broke a nail." Mimi groaned.
"Oh, Mimi..." Daisuke sighed.
"Well, according to Leomon's legend, we gotta do it. Remember, he said we're the Digidestinds." Tai said.
"Something's happening." Joe said as some rocks levitated off of the ground to reveal a metal pannel underneath.
Rainbow light shot up and an old man appeared in the hologram before the children and Digimon.
"Huh. I've heard of you kids. And I must say I'm pleased." The old man said.
Everyone stared in shock at the old man, confused at the sight of him and wondered who he was and how he was there in front of them.
"Excuse me, sir, tell me, who are you and what do you want?" Tai asked him.
To be continued...
