Chapter 12: Digital Battle

- Digital World -

The scene shifts towards the Digital World. We move closer to see Shadow traveling with the DigiDestined. A group of preteens that were the saviors of the Digital World. There mission right now was a large field that the group were heading towards too.

We move in closer to Kari, whom was close to Shadow. She seemed kinda nervous around him everytime she was near him. Gatomon didn't seem to trust Shadow much, seeing him as he was suspicious. She could sense a strange aura coming from the black hedgehog.

Shadow made a glance at the young girl. "Are you OK?"

"Y-yeah. I'm okay." Kari nodded a little nervously.

Shadow looked into Kari's eyes. Something about her seemed strange to him. He just wasn't sure what it was, though.

"What is it? Why are you staring at me like that?" She asked.

"...Nothing. You just remind me of someone I know, that's all." He said.

Kari's eyes widened. What did he just say? That he reminded her of someone he knew? Who was he talking about? And why did he remind this person of Kari? She would have to find out.

Gatomon was still eyeing Shadow. The black hedgehog took no notice, but he could tell that the white cat Digimon was staring at him. "You know, staring at me won't do you any good."

Gatomon just stayed silent as she looked away from him. Kari seemed a little concerned of what was going on, but she decided not to get involved.

At the front of the group, Izzy was tracking down the signal that would lead them towards the large field. "We should be getting close. I'm picking up a strange reading coming from that field."

"Maybe it's an evil Digimon." Tai thought.

Shadow had his thoughts too, but it wasn't a Digimon that he had on his mind. It was someone that he knew very well.

About a couple of minutes later, the group looked ahead to see the large field that was just up ahead. But as they got closer, they saw a strange figure that was just standing there, holding a large dark blue Chaos Emerald in his hand.

"Hey guys, look!" Sora pointed at the figure.

"What is that?" Matt wondered.

"What kind of Digimon is that, Izzy?" Tai asked.

The red-haired computer genius typed in a few things on his laptop. After a minute, his eyes widened. "That's strange...according to the Digimon scanner, that thing is no Digimon!

"What?! Then what is it?" Mimi asked frightenly..

"I know who it is." Shadow said as he walked towards the figure.

"Shadow?" Kari looked on as she looked concerned for him

Once Shadow got within a few paces, he stopped. "Mephiles!"

The figure slowly turned around, in which revealing itself to be Mephiles the Dark. "I was expecting you, Shadow. If you're looking for the Chaos Emerald, your already too late."

"Mephiles. Why are you still alive? Sonic, Silver, and I destroyed you!" He exclaimed.

"Destroyed me? What a joke." He laughed.

"What?"

"Shadow, did you really think that it would be that easy to take me down?" He questioned. "You should have known better than to under-estimate me."

Shadow narrowed his eyes in anger.

The DigiDestined seemed to be kind of lost in what was going on between the two.

"What is that thing talking about?" Matt asked.

"Whatever it is, I can be sure that it is not good." Joe gulped nervously.

Mephiles looked over at the group that was behind Shadow. "I see that you have made some new friends. Care to fill me in?"

Tai stepped forward. "Who are you, creep?! And what are you two talking about?"

Mephiles only laughed. "Me? Why, you should be worrying about your situation right now."

"What do you mean by that?" Matt demanded.

"Since your all here, you can all just sit back and relax, as you watch me destroy Shadow the Hedgehog!" Mephiles started laughing as small black imps started appearing from the darkness and lunged at Shadow. The black hedgehog jumped backwards to avoid them, but one of them jumped on it's head. Shadow grabbed it and threw it towards the group.

"CHAOS SPEAR!"

The blast of yellow energy destroyed a small group of imps, but more were still coming towards Shadow. The black hedgehog kept avoiding as best as he could.

The DigiDestined saw this battle going on as Shadow created another Chaos Spear to attack the small imps. However, more of them just kept appearing from the darkness.

"This is bad. No matter how many he defeats, more of them just keep coming." Tai said.

"Let's get in there and help him!" T.K. exclaimed.

"He's right. We can't just stand here and do nothing." Sora noted.

"Are you up for this, Augumon?" Tai asked his partner.

Agumon nodded. "Ready."

"All right! Let's do this, then!" Tai shouted as they all grabbed out a small device and held it in the air. The devices all started glowing brightly as did the Digimon.

"Digivolve!" The group of preteens shouted.

- Digi-Evolution Stage -

Augumon's orange body started to glow brightly.

"Augumon...Digivolve to...!"

His body started to change shape. He was now a larger dinosaur with a large brown skull on his head that showed it's red eyes. He was the same color but with blue stripes added.

"Greymon!"

Gabumon's body did the same as he started to glow bright blue.

"Gabumon...Digivolve to...!"

His body started to change shape until he was fully transformed. He was now a large blue dog-like creature with yellow eyes, his body was now colored white and blue stripes.

"Garurumon!"

Next was Biyomon, he body started to glow bright pink.

"Biyomon...Digivolve to...!"

Her body started to change shape until she was finally transformed. She was now a large orange bird-like creature with green eyes.

"Birdramon!"

Tentamon's body started to glow bright purple.

"Tentamon...Digivolve to...!"

His body started to change shape until he was finished transforming. He was now a large blue-bug-like creature with a large grey-horned helmet. He also had six wings.

"Kabuterimon!"

Next was Palmon. The plant-type creature' body started to glow green.

"Palmon...Digivolve to...!"

Her body started to change shape until it was finally finished. The figure was now a large cactus wearing red boxing gloves.

"Togemon!"

Next was Gomamon. His body started to glow bright silver.

"Gomamon...Digivolve to...!"

His body started to change shape until it was finally finished. He was now a large seal-like creature with white fur and a horn on it's head.

"Ikakkumon!"

Next, it was Patamon. The small orange creature's body started to glow white.

"Patamon...Digivolve to...!"

The creature's body started to change shape. When it was done, a new figure stood in it's place. It was an angel with six wings, orange hair, a metal helmet covering it's eyes, blue robes that were wrapped around his legs.

"Angemon!"

- End Digi-Evolution Stage -

Mephiles looked over to see the large group of Digital monsters. "What is this? More bothersome trouble, I see."

"Let's go help Shadow, everyone! Attack!" Tai commanded.

"Nova Blast!" Greymon blasted a large fire ball from it's mouth and made contact with a large group of black imps that were trying to pursue Shadow, destroying them easily.

Garurumon paced it's legs towards Mephiles, seeing a chance to attack him.

"Howling Blaster!" The large dog-creature blasted a large blue streak of energy at Mephiles. However, more black imps appeared as a barricade to protect Mephiles. The attack destroyed the barricade of black imps, but there were still more around.

Birdramon was flying in the air, this time, she was going to attack.

"Meteor Wing!" The large orange fiery creature flapped it's wings once, sending streaks of fire down towards the black imps. The attack was successful, burning the small group of imps into dust.

However, Birdramon was not the only one in the air. Kabuterimon was buzzing in the air, trying to get a good aim at Mephiles.

"Electro Shocker!" The large blue-bug creature shouted, as he fired a large blast of electricity towards Mephiles, but like before, more black imps appeared from the darkness and surrounded Mephiles like a barricade. And like before, they were blasted into dust by Kabuterimon's attack.

The large cactus known as Togemon got into a fighting stance.

"Needle Spray!" Togemon shouted, as small needles that were attached to it's body suddenly began flying in each direction, destroying more of the black imps that were appearing all over the place.

"Harpoon Torpedo!" Ikakkumon's shouted as he fired a couple of flying missiles from it's horn. The firing projectiles started to fly towards Mephiles, in an attempt to hit him directly, but once again, more black imps were covering Mephiles, and like before, they were being destroyed by Ikakkumon's missiles.

Angemon flew into the air as his fist glew with pure light.

"Hand Of Fate!" The angel shouted as he thrusted his fist forward, firing a large blast of pure energy towards Mephiles with great speed. This time, there were no black imps protecting Mephiles, and the attack was successful. Mephiles cried in pain, as he flew backwards and landed on his back, hard.

"All right! Good job, Angemon!" T.K. shouted.

Gatomon used her claws to swipe at the remaining black imps. Each one of them exploded into darkness. Shadow glanced at the white cat.

"How come you didn't Digivolve?" Shadow asked.

Gatomon just cross her arms. "I didn't need to. Besides, those black imps were hardly any trouble at all."

Shadow stared at Gatomon for another moment before glancing over at Kari. Why didn't Gatomon Digivolve like the others?

Over with Mephiles, the crystallized hedgehog slowly got up as he stared at the large duo of monsters that were standing behind Shadow. "So...it seems that I am outnumbered by these parasites."

Suddenly, a new figure appeared within a cloud of smoke. And that figure turned out to be Maiza the Raven.

The group, especially Shadow, were stunned at this.

"What is that, thing?" Tai asked.

"Is that another Digimon?" Sora wondered.

Izzy typed in a few things on his computer again, and much like with Mephiles, the results turned out to be nothing. "No good, guys. According to this, that thing is no Digimon, either!"

"Then what is that thing suppose to be?" Kari asked.

"She's a ninja." Shadow answered. The Digidestined glanced at Shadow, whom was glaring at Maiza and Mephiles. "Her name is Maiza."

"Maiza?" Matt thought.

"A female raven ninja." Joe stated as he set is glasses straight. "Now there's something you don't see everyday."

Maiza helped Mephiles back to his feet, as the dark figure tried to get a hold of his footing. "Mephiles, are you all right?"

Mephiles glanced at Maiza. "What are you doing here?"

"Black Doom sent me here, via Chaos Control. It seemed that he knew you and Shadow were transported to a different world." Maiza replied as she pulled out a yellow Chaos Emerald. "I was ordered to find you and bring you back to our world."

Mephiles glared at Shadow, along with the DigiDestined. He wanted revenge against Shadow so badly, but realized that he was already starting to get weak. "Very well. Let's leave."

Shadow watched as Mephiles pulled out the dark blue Chaos Emerald. His eyes widened. "I have to stop them!" He said as he skated towards them.

The DigiDestined look at each other for a moment. They nodded their heads once as they ran after Shadow, seeing if they could help him.

"Chaos Control!" Maiza and Mephiles shouted as a large burst of white energy started to surround them both.

Everyone stopped running and awed at what they were seeing.

"What is going on?!" Tai's eyes widened.

"What's happening?!" Kari asked the same thing.

Shadow simply stared at the white light that was coming towards them. "It's Chaos Control."

The large white energy that once surrounded Mephiles and Maiza, now started to engulf Shadow. And not just Shadow, but the DigiDestined, along with their Digimon partners as well. Once the energy finally faded, everyone was gone.


Thanks to Chaos Control, Mephiles, Maiza, Shadow, and these new heroes will be sent back to Earth. But what will happen once they get back? Will Mephiles and Maiza return to Black Doom with two the Chaos Emeralds? Or will Shadow and the DigiDestined be able to get them back? Find out on the next Black Conquest!
