Author: Operation Rescue Part 2: Operation Start!
Once again, I had to split up a much bigger chapter into what I have here, luckily though there's the perfect cut-off point. Anyway, major action going on in this and the next chapter. The Dark Masters vs the Tamers, while Tai leads a small group to free the digidestined.
What will the digidestined say to Tai? What will he say to them? What's going on within Sora?

"All or Nothing"
"Hmm…?" Piedmon watches in the distance as Takato and Guilmon walk down the battered road. All around this building was the site of the digidestined's failed rescue attempt. "Well, well, well. What have we here? A lone wolf, come to challenge me? Oooh I'm shaking. Let's see what you've got!" Piedmon takes out two of his swords and charges right at them.
Takato looks at his partner, "You ready Guilmon?"
"Mm Hm!"
Takato and Guilmon begin to run towards the clown, to meet him head on.
"Guilmon BioMerged to… Gallantmon!"
*CLASH*
Gallantmon's spear and Piedmon's swords light up the air with sparks from their furious swings.
"Trump Sword!" Piedmon jumps back and throws his swords.
Gallantmon raises his shield and blocks the blades. The shield glows, "Shield of the Just!"
Piedmon gracefully dodged the great white blast and came to Gallantmon from the air.
"HAHA!"
The knight dodged forward, escaping the blades.
"Lightning Joust!" the knight's white light pushes Piedmon back down the street, away from the building he was guarding.
"So far so good," Takato spoke to his friend from inside. "We just need to keep him away from the rescue team."
"Keep him away?" Guilmon sounded eager. "I know we can take him out Takato!"
"Since you put it that way boy," Takato agreed, their thoughts were in sync. "Let's do it!"
Gallantmon furiously charged towards the clown.
A couple of bullets bounce off of MetalSeadramon's tough steel skin.
"Okay, who did that?" he turns to see a digimon on a motorcycle racing down the road, both hands holding guns and firing them. "Do you really think those lousy bullets are going to do anything to me? River of Power!"
Beelzemon leaned over to one side and narrowly dodged the blast as it tore up the road. He continued to fire his guns at the giant metal snake.
"River of Power!"
Beelzemon grabbed his bike's handles and sharply turned a corner, using a building as cover from the blast. MetalSeadramon follows the bike down the street.
"Now where did you go?" the giant steel snake looks down the road.
*CRASH*
Beelzemon broke through a window above the snake, still riding his bike. "You ain't seen nothing yet! Double Impact!"
The bullets almost hit MetalSedramon's eye, bouncing off the steel around it. Beelzemon lands on MetalSeadramon's back and drives on it like a winding highway, taking shots whenever he can.
"This… is gonna be harder then I thought," the wild demon notices a bright light at the corner of his eye. He turns sharply away and avoids the great white blast.
"Hey!" Terriermon's voice rang bounced around the buildings.
Machinedramon quickly scans the area, searching for the source.
"Two ton trash can! Up here!"
Machinedramon looked up at a building right next to him. Right at the rooftop's edge was Henry with Terriermon on his shoulder. Henry jumps off the building, aiming for the big metal dragon.
"Let's go Terriermon!"
"It's time to give him a whuppin'! Terriermon BioMerged to… MegaGargomon!"
"Power Pummel!"
The green giant's fist came crashing down on the metal dragon's head.
"How do you like that?" MegaGargomon brought up a knee to Machinedramon's chin. "Do you want some more?" They landed another punch to Machinedramon's face, causing the dragon to stumble backwards.
"I'm just getting started," Machinedramon bends down a little, his cannons begin to glow. "Giga Cannon!"
"Uh oh."
Two great blasts hit MegaGargomon square on, sending him flying back.
"Ouch," Terriermon complained. "That hurt more then I thought."
The green giant flies up and opens up all of his hatches, "Mega Barrage!"
"This is boring," Puppetmon sighed as he sat on a wrecked car looking down the road. "When are we going to have fun?"
"You want fun?"
"Huh?" Puppetmon looked around to find out where that voice was coming from.
"Justice Kick!" Justimon comes from nowhere and kicks Puppetmon in the back.
The puppet bounces down the street. He skids on the concrete before slowing down to a full stop. Puppetmon picks himself up from the ground and turns around.
"That was NOT fun!" he angrily walks towards the hero digimon.
"It was for me," Justimon turns his arm into a blade and jumps towards the puppet. "Voltage Blade!"
"Puppet Pummel!"
Justimon and Puppetmon duel on the street. Trading swings and blows back and forth.
"Puppet Pulverizer!" Puppetmon slams his hammer on the ground, creating a small shockwave.
"Thunder Clap!" Justimon slams his hand on the ground, sending another shockwave through the road.
The waves collide, the ground explodes, sending concrete flying in all directions and knocking back both fighters.
"And you thought this would be a boring fight," Ryo talked to Cyberdramon.
"Let's start the real battle!" Cyberdramon cried happily.
Justimon jumps high into the air, Puppetmon jumps after him. They clash in the sky.
"So far, so good," Tai took a quick glance around the street. The Dark Masters are gone, the Tamers did a good in luring them away. "Come on, the coast is clear."
TK, Patamon, Rika, Renamon, Barbara and Lunamon follow Tai into the building. Renamon rushes ahead and takes out small several guards herself. Rika scans a couple cards and has Renamon climb up a couple floors to clear the way. The rest stop and gather around.
"So where are they exactly?" Tai asks Barbara.
The redhead takes out her digivice and a 3D map of the building is projected in front of them. A single blinking light catches everyone's eyes on one of the top floors.
"There," Barbara pointed at the dot. "That's where everyone is being held."
"Wow," TK admired the projection. "Our digivices can't do that."
"Neither can ours," Rika added.
"Just a little something I added on my own," Barbara bragged. "But ever since I got Lunamon I can't get my digivice open again for some reason. So I can't add anymore special features to it."
"Enough talking," Tai cut in. "We need to hurry. Let's get to the elevator."
Rika calls for Renamon and the group hops into an elevator. Barbara starts hacking into it to gain some speed. The sudden jolt upwards catches everyone off balance and they all tumble into a heap.
"Whoops," Barbara giggles nervously. "Wrong button."
The elevator suddenly stops and everyone gets tossed around again. Rika looks at the floor number.
"This isn't the floor we're supposed to be on…"
A ding is heard, the elevator door opens slowly as everyone looks in that direction.
Diaboromon was waiting for them, his chest charged with power. "Web Wrecker!"
An loud explosion catches Gallantmon's ear.
"What was that?" he turns around to see smoke coming out of the building they were taking Piedmon away from.
"HAHA!" Piedmon laughs. "Did you really think you can out smart me?"
"Why you!" Gallantmon charges the clown once again.
"Oh dear, temper, temper!" the clown taunted the knight. "Trump Sword!"
The two battlers clashed again, exchanging furious sword swings. Sparks flew around as the fighters continued to trade blow for blow.
"Is that really the best you've got? Clown Trick!"
A giant ball erupts from the ground right under Gallantmon. He loses his balance quickly and falls. Piedmon jumps on top of the knight and thrusts his sword down towards his head. Gallantmon tilted his head and the sword pierces the ground right next to it. The knight kicks the clown off of him. He gets up and quickly notices a ring of fire around him. It quickly shrinks, binding him as the clown rushes in for a fatal blow.
"HAHA!" the swords came down hard, cutting into the armor and breaking the ring.
Gallantmon stumbles backwards, a big X on his chest.
"Takato!" Guilmon cries for his partner.
"I'm okay Guilmon!" he calmly tells him. "What about you?"
"I have a big X on my chest."
"This guy is a lot tougher then I thought."
"My, my," Piedmon taunted. "Giving up already? It's not as exciting to kill the hero if you don't even try. Perhaps I'll go help the other Dark Masters first, then come back for you once we're finished with the rest of you."
"NO!"
Gallantmon begins to shine brightly.
"You stay away from our friends!" Takato angrily yelled from within.
"We won't let you win!"
Gallantmon's white armor shattered. A new, red and gold armor formed. Several glowing wings emerged from his back, a shining sword forms on one hand, and a spear of light appears in the other.
"WHAT?" Piedmon steps back in shock and fear. "This wasn't in the script!"
The light stops glowing, and Gallantmon Crimson Mode slowly turns his head towards the clown. Piedmon's face opened up with wider fear. Without saying a word, Gallantmon jets to the clown, Piedmon draws his swords.
A single swing. With a single swing of his sword, the red knight breaks through Piedmon's swords and sends the clown flying into a skyscraper. Gallantmon quickly flies in pursuit.
TK coughs as the smoke clears out, "Is everyone okay?"
"I'm okay," He heard Rika next to him.
"Yeah, same here." Barbara's voice, not too far away.
The smoke clears some more and TK sees Tai floating in front of them, holding a courage disc in front of him.
"Tai?"
"TK," Tai sounded all serious, he didn't even turn around. "You and the others go on ahead, I'll deal with this."
Tai flies forward, towards the creature, his fist on fire.
"FIRE!" the hand reels back. "STORM!" Tai's hand exploded on Diaboromon's chest. It's still erupting flames as Tai forces more power through it. "IGNITION!"
His fist blasted Diaboromon out the building, the creature flew through several more buildings as Tai ignites himself and flies after him.
"Come on!" TK urged the other two with him. "We gotta hurry."
They climbed out of the elevator and ran up the stairs. The next floor was empty, except for a cage in the center and a giant TV nearby.
"MATT!" TK cheerfully called out his brother's name.
"TK!" almost everyone in the cage took turns calling his name.
"Renamon!" Rika looked to her partner as the group runs closer to the captured.
"On it," Renamon dashes forward towards the cage. "Diamond Storm!"
Renamon's attack breaks the cage door, all the digidestined and their digimon rush out the door to TK.
Kari ran ahead of the group, tears in her eyes, "TK! TK!" she jumps onto his shoulders and starts to really cry. "I… I'm so glad…"
"I know," TK embraced her. "I am too…"
The rest of the digidestined and their partners gather around the two. Ken and Yolei had to hold and muffle Davis.
"I hate to ruin your moment," Rika butted in. "But we need to get out of here."
"Hey," Barbara notices something terribly wrong. "Where's Agumon and Gabumon?"
An explosion tears through a wall nearby. Through it, everyone can see WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon covered in a dark aura. Everyone takes a step back away from them.
"Anyone willing to fill us in here?" Barbara broke their silence as Lunamon jumped in front of her.
"Piedmon injected them with dark powers from NightmareMyotismon," Matt answered her. "Now they're being controlled by the darkness."
"You're joking, right?" Barbara looked at him in the eye.
"It gets worse," Matt started. "Our digimon are too weak to fight. I don't want to risk anything here. Can you take us out of here right now?"
"And risk bringing them into our world?" Rika asked rhetorically. "Not a chance. Besides, something is messing with our gate. We can't just warp out of here even if we wanted to." She looked at TK. "TK, get everyone to somewhere safe. We'll buy you time."
"Be sure to take the stairs!" Barbara added.
"Just don't hurt them too bad," Matt cautioned.
"Try telling them that," Rika yelled back.
TK motioned for everyone to go down the stairs first. He looks at the two girls, their digimon and the darkness controlled enemies.
"Patamon!" he called to his friend. TK reached out and grabbed Patamon gently, "You better stay here. They're going to need all the help they can get."
"Sure thing!" Patamon flew towards where their friends are about to face off. "Patamon digivolved to… Angemon! Angemon digivolved to… MagnaAngemon!"
"Renamon!" Rika called to her partner. "Let's do this."
"Lunamon?" Barbara smiles. "Shall we?"
"Renamon BioMerged to… Sakuyamon!"
"Lunamon BioMerged to… Dianamon!"
"Dibs on WarGreymon!" Dianamon calls to Sakuyamon.
"Whatever!"
"What do you want me to do?" MagnaAngemon asks the two.
"Don't get in our way," Sakuyamon spins her staff into a battle ready position. "Spirit Strike!"
"Artemis Arrow!"
The building exploded with power. WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon were sent into the air by the blast. Dianamon, Sakuyamon and MagnaAngemon all gave pursuit. WarGreymon and Dianamon exchanged blows, his claws against her lance. MetalGarurumon keeps his distance from Sakuyamon and MagnaAngemon.
"Ice Wolf Bite!" the steel dog unleashes a barrage of ice missiles.
"Amethyst Wind!" Sakuyamon summons a wind that blows against the projectiles. The missiles explodes into ice flowers and drop from the sky.
"Metal Wolf Claw!" the ice wolf breathes out a massive stream of ice at his two enemies.
"Gate of Destiny!" MagnaAngemon's gate sucks in all of the icy cold breath.
"Amethyst Mandala!" Sakuyamon creates a ring of energy around MetalGarurumon that rapidly shrinks. The ice wolf is trapped as the angel closes in.
"Excalibur!" the holy sword glows with power as the angel raises above his head. MagnaAngemon strikes MetalGarurumon, sending him to the ground.
"Terra Force!" WarGreymon sends a giant ball of energy at Dianamon.
"Artemis Arrow!" Dianamon's flurry of arrows freezes the energy ball, but it doesn't stop. "Crescent Kick!" Dianamon kicks the ball right back to the dragon warrior.
"Mega Claw!" the dragon warrior breaks through the ice ball and dives towards the white armored digimon.
"Full Moon Circle!" Dianamon spins and throws her weapon at WarGerymon.
The spear breaks off one of the dragon digimon's claws. Instead he clenches his fist and punches the white digimon in the face. Dianamon bounces back and hits a wall.
"Ouch," Barbara feels her chin.
"Barbara!" Lunamon cries to her partner. "Incoming!"
"Crescent Kick!"
WarGreymon raises his remaining armor claw to block it. The kick breaks off the armor, but the dragon warrior just clenched his hand and punched in Dianamon's face again. The white armor digimon grabbed and pushed away the fist from her face.
"Stopping hitting the face!" Dianamon kicks WarGreymon off of her.
"Terra Force!"
Dianamon hurriedly jumps high and narrowly avoids the blast.
WarGreymon gives chase. He grabs her leg and pulls her to his level, ready to deliver another punch.
*SLASH!*
Dianamon's spear attacked WarGreymon from behind, and she caught her weapon again.
"Crescent Harken!" Dianamon slashed the dragon warrior hard.
WarGreymon fell to the ground, landed in the same place, at the same time as MetalGarurumon.
The three victorious digimon circle the two fallen dark ones.
"What do we do now?" Barbara asks her two partners.
"We need to drive out the darkness inside them," Sakuyamon answers.
"Leave that to me," MagnaAngemon floats towards the two defeated Megas.
"RAH!" WarGreymon suddenly jumps up and uppercuts the angel.
"MagnaAngemon!" Sakuyamon catches the angel digimon.
WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon both radiate dark energy around themselves. Then the two of them were covered in pitch black power.
"TERROR DIGIVOLUTION!"
The dark energy exploded in all directions. What emerged, was a dark aura covered Omnimon.
"Aww… nuts."
Author: Now Diaboromon and a darkness controlled Omnimon are in the mix. 6 battles happening all at once all over the city!
Can the Tamers handle the Dark Masters on their own? Is Tai capable of defeating Diaboromon? Are Dianamon and Sakuyamon strong enough to fight against Omnimon? WHERE THE HELL'S MY COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE?
*ahem* This next chapter is going to be big. REALLY BIG.
