I do not own Digimon.
Digimon Union
As the ten Digimon Warriors headed towards Myotismon's hideout to retrieve the remaining Spirits, everything went smoothly until Myotismon himself shows up, preventing them from escaping. They fought as best as they can, but soon got defeated by the DATS members. Flamon's the last one that remains conscious and discovers what keeps the DATS members under the enemy's control. But it wasn't long until Myotismon leave with Rainmon, Gravelmon, Ivymon and Cybermon in tow, making the remaining six have no choice but to return back to the others. On their way back, they got attacked again, but was saved by Kristy and her partner Garudamon, who for some reason wasn't under control like the other four. Meanwhile, the four captive Warriors are getting worried about what's going to happen now that Myotismon has what it takes to find their partners now.
Chapter 25: Finding Out
"WHAT?!" the shouts of all of the DigiDestined taking refuge at the Odaiba Elementary School could be heard that's practically making the whole building shake slightly from the outburst.
"You mean to tell us that the other Spirits have found their partners, regain their physical form, AND got re-captured by Myotismon?!" asked/shouted Zenjirou, earning a nod from the six Digimon Warriors as Cutemon treats their wounds as best as he can.
"So remind us again why you don't want to reveal to us who those other Warriors are?" asked Yuu.
"It's because we don't want them to feel too uncomfortable since it's a lot they have to take in when they were revealed to be the ones we're looking for," replied Flamon, as Shinya, Tanya, Richard and Yutaka unknowingly hears the conversation at the hallway on the other side of the door.
"Why would you think that?" wondered Hikari, just as she felt someone place a hand on her shoulder.
Looking up, Hikari's met with Taichi's reassuring look before the Courage Destined said, "Because that's exactly how they must have felt since you were the same once you found out you're the eight DigiDestined we were looking for all those years ago."
Hikari nodded in understanding as Taichi moves his hand off of her shoulder before the Courage Destined turn to look at the group and said, "Now, since the four Warriors Spirits had found their partners, those four are now in a bigger risk of being discovered by Myotismon. Tomorrow we'd better split up into small groups and scout the whole city to find them as well as where Myotismon has their partners."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement before Sora turn to look at Kristy and ask, "So, can you tell us how you and your Biyomon managed to avoid ending up like the four DATS members and their partners?"
Kristy looks at the ceiling slightly, recalling everything that happened in full detail in her head. "Well, the five of us were busy doing a routine patrol around the Digital World just in case anything bad is happening. I decided to join them since it's my very first time actually being in the Digital World since DigiQuartz doesn't really count."
"So tell us how did you guys end up in trouble since all we could get was that the five of you were being attacked when Marcus tried to get back up by calling us," asked Taiki.
Kristy looks at her partner for a while before nodding and saying, "During our patrol, Marcus and ShineGreymon were suddenly being targeted by a blast of energy. MirageGaogamon managed to block the attack, and that's when we noticed our attacker was hiding in the clouds."
"Then what happened?" asked Taichi.
"Whoever that was, launched a barrage of attacks right at us, with Kristy and I being the first to get hit," said the male Biyomon, "We landed inside the forest we were flying above while the other four were moving away from there to a clearing that's quite a distance away from where we crashed."
"Biyomon didn't have enough energy at that time to evolve again so we had to walk to the clearing," explains Kristy, "But when we got there, it was too late. Marcus and the others were under control and just about to leave."
"Did you managed to see who's responsible for controlling them?" asked Ken.
"Sorry, the Digimon wasn't around by the time we arrived," admitted Kristy, "the only thing I saw was the orb Flamon described earlier, and something else."
The last thing Kristy said sounds a bit uncertain, getting everyone's attention. "Something else?" repeated Tagiru, earning a nod from her.
"I don't know if it was a trick from the light, but I could have sworn I saw Marcus looking completely orange like his DNA Charge for a brief moment," Kristy said, making everyone look at one another at that piece of information. "But like I said, it's probably just a trick from the light."
"Maybe you're right," said Henry, just as the six Warriors and their partners got up and head towards the door.
"Where are you guys going?" asked Ryo.
"We're going to check on those four, see if they're settling in properly," answered Koichi.
Taichi nodded in understanding and said, "Takuya, don't forget about later tonight."
"I won't," was all he said as the Warriors take their leave.
/ (At another classroom,)
Shinya, Tanya, Richard and Yutaka are sitting at separate parts of the room, just as the door opens to reveal only the six Human Warriors at the other side. Once the last of the six entered, the door's closed and Takuya signals all of them to sit as far away from the door as possible so that no one could eavesdrop on them easily.
All ten humans remain silent for a while until Tommy finally decided to break it, "Um… how long were you guys were listening in on our conversation with the others earlier?"
"Up till when Taichi stood up for why you didn't want to reveal our identities to them," replied Yutaka.
"Thanks for not telling them that even you guys know as well," said Shinya.
"By the way, where are your partners?" asked Richard.
"They're recovering in our D-Tectors," said JP, looking at his D-Tector, "Cutemon was running out of energy to heal all six of them properly, so we decided to let our Digivices do the job since it now has the recovery function like the Xros Loaders."
Seeing the look of worry on the faces of the four humans before them, Zoe sits next to Tanya and place a hand on her shoulder in comfort, "Hey, we'll get them back soon. Don't worry about it."
"Oh yeah, mind telling us what did Taichi meant by not forgetting about tonight?" Koji asked, looking at Takuya.
"Remember I mentioned about the symbol I got along with Taichi and the other Legendary Heroes?" Takuya asked, earning a nod before continuing, "We decided to try and see if we can break through to Marcus so that we'll know what Myotismon's up to now that he has the other four Digimon Warriors in captive."
"You really think it'll work?" asked Koichi.
"It's worth a try," said Takuya, "I mean, we don't really have any other options left other than barging straight on in hopes of stopping Myotismon blind. But if we could reach Marcus, we might be able to know what to expect just in case he's setting up a trap of some sort as soon as we're nearby."
"Alright, who are you and what have you done with my brother Takuya?" asked Shinya, pointing a finger directly at Takuya, "The Takuya I remember would NEVER think before he acts."
"I've matured a bit after going to the Digital World and hanging out with Taichi and the others," answered Takuya, just as a knock could be heard coming from the door.
The ten humans turn to see Daisuke poking his head into the room, making eye contact with Takuya. No words need to be said as Takuya immediately know why Daisuke is there. Giving a quick look back to the other nine in the room, Takuya got up and leaves with Daisuke towards where Taichi, Takato, Taiki and Tagiru are waiting for them.
Daisuke looks at Takuya as they're closing in on their destination and said, "I overheard who are the remaining Warriors partners."
That caused Takuya to gasp and look at Daisuke in shock. But one look at the Miracle Destine eyes tells the Flame Warrior that Daisuke won't tell anyone unless the Warriors themselves decided to come clean. Both of them smile at one another, just as they're now standing in front of the door to the room where the other Heroes are located.
"Ah good, you guys made it," said Takato as he spotted both Daisuke and Takuya walking towards where the Hazard Tamer is sitting along with Taichi, Taiki and Tagiru.
"So did you tell them the reason why we're meeting up together like this?" asked Taichi.
"I only told them about us trying to contact Marcus to find out where he is and if there's trap set up for us, nothing else," Takuya admitted, earning a nod from Taichi.
"Good, we don't want anyone to know that we REALLY know someone that can help us contact him," said Tagiru as he barricades the door with a table so that nobody could easily walk in and know what they're up to.
Taiki walks up to the window and opens it before looking around saying, "You can come in now, there's only us here."
A cloak figure appears from below and extends a hand out after making sure the coast is clear. Taiki grabs a hold of the hand but as soon as he starts to pull, a wave of pain coming from his torso causes him to winch slightly. Seeing this, Takato walks up and helps Taiki pull the figure into the room.
"Thanks," the figure said, revealing to be the girl with the eighth symbol, "I guess you're not recovered enough from when you got stabbed by the Brave Snatcher huh?"
"Yeah," nodded Taiki, "but at least it doesn't hurt as much as it was before."
"Taiki," The former General turn to his side and spotted Tagiru holding out some pills in one hand and a bottle of water in another.
Nodding in thanks, Taiki swallow the pills and drinks the water, earning a confused look from the others present in the room.
"After Tagiru hunted Quartzmon, my injury caused from the Brave Snatcher has been treated well until it's almost unnoticeable," explains Taiki, "But lately, the pain starts coming back that not even with Cutemon's healing powers could help get rid of it completely."
"I wonder why?" Takuya asked.
"It's probably something we shouldn't be concern about too much," said Daisuke before he turns his attention to the girl under the cloak, "So now that you're here, can you tell us how to contact Marcus like you said you would?"
"Sure," she nodded, "but first I need to know something; did that girl with a male Biyomon said she saw Marcus looking completely orange for a brief moment?"
"You mean Kristy?" asked Taichi, "If so, then yes she did say that."
"It's getting close," she whispers, but still loud enough for Takato to hear.
"What is?" the Hazard Tamer asked.
Realizing that someone heard her, she suddenly looks up and said in a serious tone, "That doesn't matter at the moment. Right now, you guys need to focus on contacting Marcus to stop Myotismon from finding the other Warriors, and you don't have much time."
"What do you mean?" asked Tagiru.
"My friend and his partner Alphamon and I were at Myotismon's base just before the ten Digimon Warriors showed up and overheard that Myotismon is going to digivolve into his Mega stage once the four Warriors have been found," she said, earning a shock and surprise look from the others.
"How is he going to do that?!" asked/demanded Takuya.
"That one I don't know," she admitted, "but I bet Marcus does, if he still has his right mind somewhere in that possessed body of his."
"Then tell us, how can we contact him so we can find out?" asked Tagiru.
"Just place your symbols over mine and I'll do the rest," The girl extends her right hand, revealing it to be covered by blue hand-hiding sleeves, before she slowly pulls it back, revealing her symbol. "Like the other seven, my symbol is now a permanent mark since our first meeting a month ago."
The six Heroes before her look at the symbol clear for the very first time since before it was always a bit blurry to tell. The symbol is a heart with a circle and a triangle inside of it. Once the symbol is exposed, the other six starts to glow along with it, with the brightest of them are Daisuke's and the girl's due to their strong connection. Looking over their respective symbol, the six Heroes nodded with one another before the each place a hand over the remaining one.
"Now, close your eyes and concentrate," she instructed, which is exactly what they did next.
The girl then close her eyes and starts to chant in a strange language, causing the seven symbols to glow very brightly before all six of them feels themselves slipping away as she finish with her chant.
/
When the five Heroes open their eyes, they gasp upon finding themselves in a place surrounded by a majestic glow all around which makes them feel very calm and relax somehow.
"Where are we?" Takato asked, looking around.
"We're in a protective realm that our symbols created so that no one would be able to know what we're doing," said the girl, standing before the group, "It's also where a piece of Marcus' spirit has been stored away to keep contact with us through his symbol."
"Really?" asked Tagiru.
"But if he's been here since he was put under controlled, then why didn't we know about this until now?" asked Takuya.
"Because the rest of the DigiDestined were with you guys," she answered, "plus I didn't know his symbol did what it did until recently when I found out Marcus was controlled at the first place."
Taichi nodded in understanding before all seven of them started walking together to find Marcus. But they didn't have to go far as their tracks got blocked by an invisible wall.
"What the-?" said Taichi as he place a hand on the wall.
"Taichi?" a voice coming from the other side of the wall asked, making said Hero gasp.
"Wait, Marcus is that you?" Taichi asked, trying to find any signs of the Fighter.
A movement could be seen coming from the other side of the wall before a silhouette of Marcus could be seen coming closer to them. But when the figure is close, the six Heroes gasp upon what they're seeing. Sure enough he's Marcus, but what shocks them is that his whole body has a few patches of his symbol's color, with his left eye now the same color as his partner's!
"Marcus what happened to you?!" asked Tagiru in utter shock.
"I'm not sure myself," Marcus admitted looking over himself, "I've been like this ever since I found myself trapped here after getting controlled."
"We can worry about that later," the girl said, "Our time here is limited so we could only discuss the main purpose we're here."
Six of the Heroes look at her in a questioning look, wondering why she seems to be avoiding a certain topic. But their thoughts were interrupted when the remaining Hero said, "She's right, we don't have much time for chitchats."
"Are you sure Marcus?" asked Taiki, which Marcus nodded in reply.
"I can feel myself slipping away," Marcus admitted, "I-I don't know how much longer I could stay here."
"Then let's cut to the chase," said Taichi, "What do you know about Myotismon's plan? All we got is that he's planning on using all ten Warriors power to turn into MaloMyotismon again, but how is he going to do it?"
"Easy," said Marcus, "he'll absorb the Digimon half of the Warriors powers, and kill the Human half to complete the process."
Everyone gasp in shock as all eyes now fall onto Takuya, who's shaking slightly at where he's standing.
"Takuya?" called out Daisuke, when suddenly the whole place starts to turn dark.
"What's going on now?" asked Takato, just as Marcus let out a yelp of pain.
"G-Guys, I-I'm losing control of myself," groans Marcus as he slowly disappears into nothing, "HELP!"
"MARCUS!"
/
"NO!" shouted Daisuke, shooting up from where he's lying down.
"Hey it's okay, calm down," a male voice said, making Daisuke turn to see another cloak figure kneeling before the only girl with the symbol, "it's a good thing she pulled you guys out when she did or Myotismon will figure out where you guys are."
"How did you know that?" asked Daisuke, as the others started waking up and too notice the boy in the cloak.
"And who are you?" asked Takuya, just as Tagiru's gasp could be heard.
"You're the boy with Alphamon!" Tagiru pointed out.
"Wait, that's him?" asked Taichi, just as the girl let out a small moan before getting up.
"You alright?" the mysterious boy asked in concern.
"Just a bit drained, but I'm fine," she answered before falling into a coughing fit.
"Is she okay?" asked Takuya as the boy rubs her back while she coughs.
"I told you it's too risky," he said.
"We have no choice," she pointed out before extending her left hand that seems to be holding onto something, "but it's sure a good thing you gave me this so I can tell if Myotismon's spying on us in there."
When she open her hand, the other occupants of the room gasp upon seeing a Tag with a black color Crest, with white markings on it that looks like three crescent moons with a small circle in each of them connected to one another inside of it.
"Where did you get that?" asked Takato, as the boy picks the Tag up and ties it around his neck.
"He got it on the day Alphamon first turn into his Royal Knight form after becoming his partner," she said.
"So what Crest is it?" asked Taiki.
The boy looks at the Crest before hiding it beneath his cloak and said, "It's the Crest of Darkness."
"Oh, so that's how you know if Myotismon's eavesdropping on us or not earlier," realized Takuya, "your Crest can help you sense the power of Darkness just like how Koichi and his partner could!"
"Exactly the reason why I had it with me before arriving here," she said, getting on her feet with his help, "I'm sorry, but we need to get going. It's late and all of us need our rest."
"Wait all of us?" wondered Taichi, "Are you guys going to help us out?"
"Not up close," he admitted, "but we will be nearby if you need our help."
"Please be careful," she said as the two of them head towards the window they came in from, "especially the two of you, Daisuke and Takuya."
"Don't worry, he's not going to get all ten of us if we have anything to say about it," said Takuya with the others nodded in understanding as both cloak figures jump out of the window, leaving the remaining six to leave the room and get the rest they needed for tomorrow.

"So, they truly believe they could stop my plan? We'll see about that."
(^_^)(-_-)
Oh boy, that doesn't sound good. What's going to happen now? You'll know soon.
Sorry about the wait guys, but my inspiration for Digimon is slowly slipping away now. I'd better try and get it back soon or else I'll never finish this story, let alone start its sequel I'm planning on doing.
Until next time, see ya!
