Because Zudomon was now evolved to Perfect level, Joe's digivice unlocked the ability to detect his friends' digivices and thus their locations. The digivice showed that three of their friends were in one spot, while the other three were off at a distance. "But this direction looks a little different from where we live…"
Joe tilted his head in thought. The three closest dots didn't look like they were at the condominiums, as he was expecting, but closer to Fuji TV station. Zudomon headed that way. As he did so, the three dots that were further away looked to be heading their way. One of the dots from the three closest to them broke off from the group. Joe didn't know that the three dots at a distance were Tai and Mimi, with Tai holding Kari's digivice, while the one dot that separated was Izzy.
After Mimi was recaptured, she was shoved into a line with the other children that were being shown one by one before a reluctant Gatomon. What's going to happen if they recognized her as one of the Chosen children? There was no chance of escape, not with all the Garthim guarding the exits. What's more, that horrible woman Despair was there with Myotismon and had trapped Dana in a locket, what were they planning?
"Lady D! Lord Myotismon" DemiDevimon shouted as he flew in.
"What is it?"
"I got good news from Phantomon. We've found both the eighth child and Sirene's heir."
The news shocked all three: Gatomon, Myotismon and Lady Despair.
"What? How did they find them?!" Mimi gasped quietly.
Gatomon's expression turned from surprise to sorrow. Oh no…
"Did you hear that, Gatomon?" The vampire taunted.
Gatomon glowered at him, not saying a word.
"No! I mean..." Lady despair looked frustrated in what to do in this situation. "I should feel joy, but annoyed you found Kylie before me."
Myotismon hissed at Despair, who swishes her skirt in frustration and marches over to Demidevimon, snatching him out of the air to stare him in the eyes. "Bring then here, we'll deal with them immediately," Lady Despair lets go of the mini devil who falls to the floor.
She turns to frown at Myotismon. "We will discuss what to do with the Heir AFTER, we deal with the immediate threat of the 8th child."
"All right. Now that we know that, there's no sense remaining here."
"Right! What do you want me to do with the children?" DemiDevimon asked.
Lady Despair smirked "I'm sure we can work out something."
"Put them to sleep. I'll savor them for later." Myotismon smirked.
The small bat snickered. The children fell to the ground like dolls with their strings cut. They had been put into a deep, unshakeable slumber.
"I wish you all a peasant slew, because you will not awaken again, Children." Despair laughed.
Her laughter was cut off, when she spotted Mimi, still awake with her crest flowing under her shirt.
"Ahhhh! IT'S THE SINCERITY HOLDER! SEIZE HER!" Lady Despair screamed pointing at Mimi.
The Garthim immediately appeared with the Bakemon, ad charged, only for the whole building to shake, and a large crack appearing between Mimi and the enemies. The girl didn't question, and ran off.
"Is there a DarkTyranomon loose, what is that!?" DemiDevimon wailed, as he tried to fly up.
A woman's laughter echoed through the room, purple bubbles of magic encased the sleeping children, teleporting them away, as the Garthim fell through the floor from the crumbling ground.
"DAMN HER! Damn that Sea hag!" Lady Despair fumed. "BAKEMON, AFTER THAT CHOSEN CHILD!"
"Not likely."
The voice of the Dark Spectre Queen echoed out, as a bubble encased Mimi, repelling the Bakemon, and teleporting her away to safety too.
Lady Despair grabbed at her hair and grit her teeth. "This day was turning out so nice!"
Outside, Beth, Tai and Greymon glanced up to see Myotismon and Lady Despair flying away with Gatomon. The trio raced inside one empty room only to almost fall over in shock at the sight of so many purple bubbles. Where did they all come from? A closer revealed to be holding several children fast asleep.
"Look there!" Beth pointed.
A bewildered Mimi, still in her pink pajamas, was looking over the sleeping children. She then glanced up and called out to them: "Tai! Beth!"
"Where is everyone?" Beth asked.
"Where are my parents?" Tai asked Mimi.
"Everyone's just asleep. I think they're all okay."
They almost let out a sigh of relief, when Mimi's next words set Tai and Beth back on edge immediately.
"Except they got Dana trapped in some necklace and Myotismon left here not a moment ago with Despair because they found Gatomon's partner and Kylie!"
"What?!" Beth hollered.
"They've got Kari?!" Tai was shocked.
"As in your sister Kari?" Mimi was surprised.
Meanwhile, Izzy and Tentomon had made their way to the Fuji TV station where they'd run into Matt and T.K.'s father, Hiroaki Ishida. They'd been trying to reach the outside with the satellite but it was hopeless.
Izzy had looked out the glass widow then gasped, "There's Matt and Sora with the guardians!"
"What? Matt?" Mr. Ishida stood up from the chair he was sitting in and hurried to the window. "What is he doing here?"
He was stunned when he first saw Sara, Theo and Haruna fly up ahead. "Fairies?!" However the sight of Garudamon and Garurumon and backed up. "M-Monsters!"
"They're not monsters, they're Digimon." Izzy corrected.
Mr. Ishida turned to his in confusion.
"The monsters that were being broadcasted on the news are called Digimon. But don't worry, the one with Matt and Sora are on our side just like the fairies you just saw."
"On your side? But…"
"What I mean to say is that there are both good and evil Digimon. The ones you see out there are our comrades- our friends!"
"He's right!" Tentomon said.
"The bug talked…?" Matt's father was flabbergasted.
Finally the group below reached the TV building's main plaza where Mr. Ishida and Izzy awaited.
"Matt! Sora! Theo! Sara! Haruna, down here!" Izzy called out to us.
Garudamon set Sora down gently.
"Izzy! So this is where you were!" Sora said.
"Matt!" Mr. Ishida addressed his son.
"Dad!"
"Why didn't you stay put?!" Matt's father scolded.
"I'm sorry."
Garurumon then lowered his head closer, scaring Matt's father.
"Hello, Matt's father. We meet again." Garurumon closed his eyes briefly as if attempting to reassure the man
"A-Again? What the devil are you?"
"I'm not a devil. I'm Garurumon, digivolved from Gabumon."
"Gabumon? Digivolved?"
The guardians fluttered down to them.
"Oh, you must be Matt and T.K.'s father!" Sara G waved.
Mr. Ishida stammered in surprise. "Wh- I- yes. Yes, I am. But, who are you?!"
"Oh that's right, we were the counselors in training for when your boys arrived to the camp that was canceled because of the snow." Haruna explained. "I'm Haruna and that's Sara."
"Name's Theo, put 'er there!" Theo extended her hand out to a bemused Mr. Ishida.
"Hey!" A voice called out to them.
The guardians looked over and grinned from ear to ear. "Oh good, we got reinforcements!" Sara declared.
Next to a large Digimon that they've never seen before was T.K., running towards them waving one arm. Joe and Patamon were there too with Yui and Zaira in Digix form fluttering above them.
"Onii-chan! Papa!"
"T.K.!" Matt brightened, relieved to see his younger brother safe.
"T.K…?" Mr. Ishida mumbled softly as his youngest child ran up and hugged him.
"Papa!"
"Why… are you here?"
"I was so worried about you and Onii-chan that I just had to come here! Mama came with me but we got separated along the way."
Mr. Ishida didn't say a word but he put a gentle hand on T.K.'s head and smiled. Then everyone's attention was directed to the mysterious Digimon that was accompanying Joe's group. The Digimon with the wizard's hat walked right up to the still petrified Lilymon, who was in Garudamon's hand.
"Who is that Digimon?" Izzy questioned.
"What are you planning to do?" Matt demanded.
"She was attacked by Myotismon's death scream wasn't she?" Wizardmon inquired somberly.
"So what if she was?" Sora asked in a distrustful voice.
Zaira held them back. "Just wait and see."
Wizardmon merely put his hands up, made some hand symbols and then turned an emerald as he held them up to Lilymon. The green light spread to the flowery fairy and all the color returned to her.
Everyone gasped in amazement. "Lilymon!"
"Huh? What happened to me?" Lilymon then smiled and flew to stand in front of them, ready for action.
T.K. ran over in front of Wizardmon protectively to shield him from the others. "Don't hurt him, he isn't a bad Digimon! He has a Tag and Crest!"
"Yes, it's true!" Yui nods earnestly.
"A Crest?" Sora had questioned.
"He's not lying, it's the truth!" Joe confirmed. "Look."
Wizardmon held out the crest of light for the others to see for themselves.
"Kari's Tag and Crest." The Digimon said. "Gatomon has been taken by Myotismon and I want to save her. But Myotismon and Despair intervened," Wizardmon said. "She revealed the truth, Gatomon is not an actual digimon. Created from the essence of The Heir's Mother, Sirene. That is why Gatomon is so powerful, and destined for such greatness. For she is born of Sirene, almost the same as Kylie herself."
"Gatomon?" Sora wondered.
"Gatomon is the 8th Digimon!" T.K. informed them.
Theo scratched her head, "Wait a minute, if Gatomon was created by Sirene..."
"... in some weird way this would make her Kylie's sister?!" Yui gaped, her eyes wide.
"In essence, yes." A voice spoke and in a sparkle of purple light, Vanessa appeared in front of the children.
"Your Dark Majesty, you got through the fog barrier?!" Zaria asked in shock.
"No, I've been here he whole time to keep watch over Kari, but with Lady Despair's interference, it's hard for me to keep track."
Wizardmon added. "Gatomon's only chance is for Kari to be given her crest and digivice, where is she?"
Matt's face fell. "Well…Kylie and Kari have been captured and taken to the roof of the building."
"Moments ago, Mr. Gennai had sent me and e-mail saying where the source of Myotismon's barrier is!" Izzy pointed to the dome shaped area of the Fuji TV building.
They all looked up in time to see Myotismon headed for the viewing platform with Gatomon.
"It's Myotismon!" shouted Matt.
"Speak of the devil…" Haruna glowered.
"Gatomon!" Wizardmon cried. "Myotismon…!" His voice got dark as it was full of anger.
"We have to stop them," The Dark Spectre Queen waved her hand in front of her Sampo, so it glows brightly with magic power. "With Despair there, it will be nearly impossible for you to fight Myotismon, but I can handle her fine enough. However we must stop her, for if Kylie perishes, there's no telling what she can do with that raw magical essence!"
"We've got to get up to the view platform!" Matt ordered.
"All right! I'll guide you there!" Mr. Ishida agreed.
Before they could step forward two digimon burst out of the ground. It was the same ones that attacked them when Kari and Kylie had given themselves up. A giant praying mantis, Snimon, and a dinosaur with two giant horns like those of a bull protruding out from its shoulders, Tuskmon. Snimon's scythes easily cut through steel beams, and the power from Tuskmon's charges could easily bulldoze Digimon of the same level. Snimon swung down and very nearly impaled Sora but she managed to back away just in time.
"Garurumon, ultra digivolve to… WEREGARURUMON!"
"We'll take care of them." Garudamon informed the group.
"Likewise!" Sara replied, flying to aid the digimon in battle.
"Go save Kari!" Zudomon said.
"We'll meet you at the top!" Yui added.
"Okay." Matt nodded.
"All right, let's go!" Mr. Ishida motioned us to move.
The children ran for the door, behind them Wizardmon stumbled, causing T.K. to run back for him.
"Wizardmon! Are you okay?"
Mr. Ishida rushed over. "Let me give you a hand! Come on!" He picked up the wizard Digimon and they ran for the front doors.
Inside, Phantomon holds up his scythe. Kari is staring bravely at him, not showing her fear. Kylie has a gentle hand on her shoulder. Soon enough, the bats enter the viewing platform. Myotismon slowly lowers himself down, still holding Gatomon by the scruff in his right hand.
Kylie's eyes met Myotismon's.
"I do apologize, My Love." Myotismon gave a passing glance to his mother, who was talking to Phantomon. "If I had any idea she would take the Garthim to find you, and attack your home..." Myotismon takes her hand in his, and caresses the back gently. "I swear, you will be safe with me. Even if I have her blood in my veins, I will not allow her to cause you any harm."
Kari and Gatomon watch uncomfortably.
At that moment Myotismon addressed Kari. "Little girl. Why did you reveal yourself? Do you know what I'm going to do to you?"
"I can imagine it."
"Then why?"
"Because everyone's suffering."
"What?"
"I did it because you were hurting everyone!" Kari snapped, only to stiffen when Phantomon's scythe was moved so Lady Despair could take a look at Kari.
The Sorceress was in a blood red dress, with a black crystal like spider brooch in the center of her chest, and a belt of skulls with rubies on her waist. Kari shivered, but met Lady Despair's pink, cat slit pupil eyes with her own.
Sierra gave a chuckle as she softly stroked the girl's cheek with the finger encased in a silver talon finger guard. "You have the gift of courage, child." Lady Despair praised.
"No...No, I'm very afraid." Kari confessed with a glare.
"But that is courage. To act despite the fear permeating from your heart," Lady Despair laughed in soft, sinister manner. "And I can smell your fear, it makes my magic stronger just being here, so close to you."
Sierra brushed the back of her hand over Kari's face and pulled away. "I can respect a girl with conviction," Lady Despair crossed her arms. "Though I'm not too terribly pleased with your brother and his friends getting in my way, and killing my two children."
Kari looked surprised to hear that, but frowns up at Lady Despair. "If they were hurting people, then they got what they deserved!" Kari shot back.
Gatomon gasped in alarm, but Lady Despair laughed her head off.
"Oh, you are a bold child with pluck!" Lady Despair's hand lashed out and dug her fingers into Kari's hair to lift the girl, screaming in pain as she dangled in the air.
"I HATE 'Pluck.'" Lady Despair hissed, and dropped Kari roughly to the floor.
Lady Despair then grabbed Kylie by the cheek, and her Scepter shot an energy blast at Myotismon when he took a step to halt her, unable to do but watch. The teenager whimpered in pain as Sierra dugs her talon into the younger woman's cheek, causing her to bleed slightly, as Sierra hissed into her ear.
"I CURSE you, Child. For your beauty, for your purity, for the innocence of your flesh." Lady Despair growled viciously. "For the hold you have over my child."
"MOTHER! Release her at once," Myotismon glared at Kari. "Or I send the Eighth child BACK to her family."
Kylie blinked in shock, even Kari was stunned. Sierra spun around with a hiss, staring at Myotismon incredulously, but knowing full well he was being serious. She let go of Kylie, fixing her with an angry stare, but then a slow, wicked smile form over her face. And that smile made Kylie's blood grow cold.
"Someday, Child. When my son tires of you," Lady Despair waved a hand at Kylie. "You'll belong to me. Then you'll know Horror."
"Gatomon, why aren't you looking at this child?" He thrusted Tailmon, still dangling from his grip, towards Kari.
"Because I don't know her." Gatomon answered, her face was turned away from both Kylie and Kari. "She's not the eighth child."
"I see." Myotismon merely snapped his fingers.
Demidevimon pulled at Kari's hair, causing her to yell in pain.
"Kari!" Gatomon shouted out, turning to Kari in distress. Unfortunately, it made her drop the bluff.
"That hurts! Let go!" Kari whimpered.
"I see. So Kari is the name of the eighth child." Myotismon said.
"Charming." Lady Despair sneers. "Hikari, Kari...the Japanese love their word plays."
She brushes Demidevimon away from Kari, and places her hands on Kari's shoulder. "Rest assured, Child. Your death will be quick and painless," Lady Despair smiles. "You see, I'll let you in on a little secret. Sometimes, too much dark magic is a bad thing, and I'm required to...abandon my body. So, before that can happen this time around..." She leans over to whisper into Kari's ear, whose eyes along with Gatomon's own, as her feline hearing picked up Sierra's words.
"I plan to expel your soul and take your body to extend my life," Lady Despair whispered, before bursting into cold laughter.
"No!" Kylie gasped.
Gatomon then burst free from Myotismon's grasp and stood protectively in front of Kari and Kylie.
"No, you won't -" Kylie's defiant words were cut off with a yelp as she was suddenly pulled forwards and shoved into Myotismon's arms.
"I remember your mother's last breath so vividly," Lady Despair gloats. "It was one of my most precious memories, as it's not often one destroys a paragon of virtue and good."
"You sick, vile, wicked, contemptible, black hearted sorceress!" Kylie screams.
"Aw, thank you, Kylie. That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me." Lady Despair said with a smile.
"You killed my mother, and now you want to kill Kari!" Kylie hissed.
"Oh, no...not me. Sadly, that honor went to another one of my children," Lady Despair states. "But I think I'll leave you dangling, wondering who did the deed. But I wouldn't try anything, otherwise your baby sister would pay the price." The beldam motioned to the locket where Dana was held captive.
"Dana!" Kylie attempted to reach out even as she's held back.
Lady Despair huffed but turned to Kari and Gatomon.
"Mega Blaster!"
At the same time an electric shock pierced through the round ceiling. Kabuterimon rushed in from the bottom floor. The heroic group had seen that Lady Despair and Myotismon in this room through a window in Fuji TV.
"Electro blast!"
"Springtime gust!"
"Naiad's attack!"
"Starry barrage!"
"Flower Cannon!"
"Oh please. You wish to battle? I think we can oblige!" Despair mocked waving her staff.
The redirection of the attacks blew off part of the roof.
Myotismon flew out through a split in the ceiling, his arm protectively around Kylie's waist. "It's gotten noisy here. We'll move to a quieter place."
Against their will, Kari and Gatomon felt themselves pulled upwards as though by a tractor beam.
"I won't let you!" Matt shouted out. "WereGarurumon!"
WereGarurumon literally clawed his way up the side of the building, leaping upwards and landing in front of the vampire and the sorceress. Myotismon merely chuckled darkly.
"You have no time to be laughing!" Sora snapped.
Garudamon was carrying Zudomon up to the top. Around them were six of the guardians.
"Kabuterimon, ultra digivolve to… MEGAKABUTERIMON!"
Zudomon hit a corner of the Fuji TV building, sending sparks flying. But Myotismon shook the sparks off with his cape.
Garudamon's advancing shadow lit up in flames. This was absorbed by the large swarm of bats that flew out from within his cape. Megakabuterimon's attack was shaken off with one wave of Myotismon's cape, and MegaKabuterimon himself was snapped backwards and nearly knocked WereGarurumon off the roof.
"Crimson lightning!" The red whip struck the werewolf digimon on the knuckles and sent him falling.
"WereGarurumon!" Matt cried out.
"You're wasting your time." Myotismon taunted but is hit from behind.
"My son!" Lady Despair turned the moment he was struck
Unhurt Myotismon turns around to see who dared hit him. There behind him, fully recovered was Wizardmon!
"Kari! Here catch!" Wizardmon throws her the crest and tag. Kari quickly catches in her hands.
"Wizardmon!" Gatomon sees her friend that she thought was presumed destroyed.
"So you're still alive?" Myotismon says disappointed.
"I'm the type who makes sure to pay back all of my debts." Wizardmon responded snippily.
"We will see!" Myotismon shoots Wizardmon in the chest with an energy ball, throwing him back.
"Wizardmon!" Gatomon shouted. She, Kari and Kylie stared worriedly.
"Little girl! Hand that over!" Myotismon ordered Kari, wanting the crest and tag back.
Kari clutches the tag and crest not really knowing the true power of the device. "NO!"
"That's not a request!" Lady Despair snapped.
"WAIT!" Everyone looks over to the other building right across from where they stand.
"MIMI!" Lilymon's relieved voice is heard.
"This a private party, or can we cut in?" Beth teased, flying into view.
Standing on the other building was Tai and Greymon.
"You're gonna pay big time for messing with my sister! Kari here catch!" Tai takes Kari's Digivice and throws it over.
Mid-way to Kari's arms, out of nowhere; Demidevimon appears and snatches the device.
"As long as we have this, there's nothing to fear," Demidevimon sneers with a grin.
"That's nice work. Go get them Phantomon," Myotismon congratulates Demidevimon and sends Phantomon out towards Tai.
"Greymon ultradigivolve to...METALGREYMON!"
Phantomon stops in midair, and floats backwards.
MetalGreymon attacks with "GIGA-BLASTER!"
The two missiles fly straight towards Myotismon and Phantomon. The vampire calmly puts his hand forward. The missiles came to a standstill just in front of him, disappearing into particles but Myotismon and Phantomon are unscathed.
All the Ultimate Digimon's attacks head straight towards Myotismon, but once again, he raises his hand and all the attacks disintegrate. The Digimon are all surprised at his powers.
"No, Myotismon please, it doesn't have to be this way!" Kylie had pulled at his arm. "Don't hurt them!"
"If you will consent to be my bride, Kylie." Myotismon declared intensely, turning so that they were face to face. "There is no other for whom my heart beats so passionately."
"Garthim!" Lady Despair suddenly called out, and a scuttling noise was heard. "Attack!"
The garthim appeared, snapping their lobster claws, they charged at the Digimon and fairies, but then out of the ground seemed to explode multiple warriors made of stone, leading the charge was one with wings it seemed, and sporting a falcon faced helmet.
"Warriors of Vulcan's Forge, Attack!" The bird themed stone warrior yelled.
The warriors drew their weapons, and charged at the Garthim, clashing with bright sparks, the warriors slashing at them and the Garthim lashing out to grab, or crush them with their hands.
But the warriors had spears, and some of them managed to stab at the chest of the Garthim, causing them to fall to pieces to the floor.
"Hey, they're hollow!" Mimi gasped.
"Of course, My Dear." The voice of the Sea Witch exclaimed, as she appeared as though emerging from a rippling body of water.
"The Garthim were corpses fused together, and from that one, Lady Despair created multiple copies. They are animated solely by her magic, and her power over all things Empty." Vanessa explained with a wave of her scaly hands. "And without it, are nothing."
"Oh, and the Stone Warlords are better, Sea Hag?" Lady Despair asked with a glower. "Rocks and pebbles, given fancy weapons to fight."
"I use the Flame of Eternity to bring them to life, they're capable of thought and are alive, unlike your crab-brained soldiers!" Vanessa shot back. "I wasn't going to let you slaughter these brave children with the Garthim, like you did to countless Gelfling on Thra!"
"I did what I did to protect my children!" Lady Despair said with a hand clenched over her chest, as her eyes became saddened and miserable.
"And look what good it did: several dead, their souls wandering the unknown and the rest rightfully returned to the stars as Urskeks," Vanessa said in snide tone.
Lady Despair stared in shock, before her face contorted with anger, and that anger became a massive ball of red magic she hurled at the Sea Witch and fairies.
"PSYCHO BOMBER!" Lady Despair shouts.
"TRITON'S CALL!" Vanessa waved her hands, and a water spout engulfed the ball of magic, dissipating it.
"Girls, Dana is trapped in that locket around her neck!" Kylie then informed.
"Dana?!" Beth yelled.
From behind, T.K. looks into Patamon's eyes. They both nod, knowing what they must do.
"Patamon digivolve to...ANGEMON!" The light fades away and Angemon is there.
"He digivolved!" Myotismon sneered, about to prepare another Grisly wing attack.
"Don't forget about me!" Vanessa stated. Reaching into a little pouch, she picked up and threw some purplish dust at the locket. "Try this on for size, my dark Spectre particles!"
"Ahhh! NOT THOSE ACCURSED PARTICLE'S!" Lady Despair shrieked.
She ripped the necklace off her neck, and hurled it, where it began to crack in midair, shattering, causing Dana to be caught by Angemon as she fell.
"You sure know how to sweep a fairy off her feet." Dana smiled. "Time for me to get into the game!"
In a flash of silvery breeze and multicolored leaves she transformed.
"Wretched pests!" Lady Despair holds up her hands in a claw gesture, and opens her mouth. "PSYCHO STORM!"
And a cyclone of red energy shot out of her mouth, blasting through the fairies, causing them to hold their heads, screaming in pain.
"HAND OF FATE!" Angemon yells.
He punches through the air, and the beam of holy light strikes Lady Despair in the neck.
"AAAAHHHHH! MY NECK!" Lady Despair screamed in agony, and fell over to the ground.
"MOTHER!" Myotismon cried out in alarm.
"Now, this is for abducting Dana," Angemon called out, flying forward to bring his staff down on the woman. "HOLY ROD!"
Phantomon hovers in front of Lady Despair to protect the evil sorceress. He blocks the rod with his scythe, and pushed away Angemon.
"Shadow Scythe!" Phantomon calls out, and moves his scythe down to slice Angemon.
"Hammers!" Vanessa called out.
Out of the ground came a very large Stone Warriors, two massive hammer mallets attached to his wrists, blocking the strike from Phantomon.
"HA! You ain't getting past me, ghosty!" Hammers laughed.
"Starshine gems!" Yui called out, waving her hands in front of herself.
Dazzling pieces of light appeared, and shot forward, striking Phantomon backwards.
"And now, to lay the hammer down!" Hammers laughed, he lifted his arm over his head to strike the helpless Sierra.
"CRIMSON LIGHTNING!"
Myotismon's whip crashed against Hammers, sending him stumbling backwards, as two Garthim appeared, lifting Despair up with their grabbing hands to carry her out of harm's way.
Angemon and WereGarurumon attacked at the same time. It was a direct hit. But it had no effect.
"Remember where you are?"
Red lightning swung. Angemon and WereGarurumon were hurtled into the air.
"This is my barrier."
His next hit sent Theo and Zaira slam against one of the walls.
"My domain! The first step to turning this world and the Digital World into darkness will take place here!"
Within his barrier, Myotismon's powers were amplified to ten times their original force. From behind him, Sara flew out from a blind spot with both arms poised. But before she could attack, red lightning cracked and she flew backwards.
"Having the bad guy be lot tougher than he looks routine is getting old!" Theo quipped.
"You girls know what has to be done," Vanessa huffed in frustration. "This can only end through Kari!"
Kylie quickly transforms, intent on recovering the digivice from Demidevimon. Once she does, she'll bind her lover and see him judged by the Wizengamot.
"HAND OF FATE!" Angemon clenches his right hand with his fist and from it shoots a bright light, straight at Myotismon.
The vampire had no time to block and is hit by it, he covers himself with his cloak. Phantomon, who is beside him is destroyed. Myotismon holds himself, shivering from the bright light of justice.
"Myotismon, its best that you give yourself up!"
Myotismon looks up with a sneer on his face. "Don't think that was enough to defeat me!"
"Stop your taunting, either you finish the nymph's brood or the eighth brat! Lest I make the decision for you!" Despair shouted.
This was met with an actual feral snarl. Myotismon made his choice at once, "GRISLY WING!"
Without warning, he launches his attack. But it isn't aimed at Angemon, but at KARI! Everybody is frozen with shock at Myotismon's surprise attack.
"Kari! Gatomon!" Kylie had cried.
Wrath. And fear. A great swarm of bats flew towards Kari and Gatomon. They were no longer living life forms, but a lethal weapon that immediately deleted their own data upon hitting their target, forcing their opponent to be annihilated as well.
It was neither Kari nor Gatomon that was hit.
Mustering up the last of his magical powers, Wizardmon flew through the air and stood in front of them. The bats disappeared into Wizardmon's body as if they were being sucked in. With arms outstretched, Wizardmon sacrifices his life to save Kari and Gatomon. Gatomon sees Wizardmon's noble act and sees his cloak being shredded. Gatomon can do nothing but look.
Wizardmon fell slowly to the ground. The data composition of his body was already breaking down. Kari and Gatomon rushed to him.
"Wizardmon! You can't die! Don't die! Wizardmon!" Kari pleaded, holding his body.
Gatomon kneels besides her fallen friend and comrade. Hot tears roll down her blue eyes. "Wizardmon," Gatomon whispered in a dumbfounded stupor. "I'm sorry, Wizardmon… for getting you involved in this."
Wizardmon looked into Gatomon's tearful eyes. "I should be thanking you. If I hadn't met you, my life wouldn't have had any meaning. I am glad… to have met you."
"Wizardmon..."
Ever since she rescued him, they had been great friends. Helping each other out accomplishing Myotismon's wishes, getting each other out of trouble and being the best of friends. Now, the friendship is going to end; but no, Wizardmon will always live inside her. That is forever.
"Thank you..."
Leaving only that smile behind, he perished. Tiny pixels replace his solid body and the pixels flow up into the air and vanish into a bright light. Wizardmon died a hero's death and he has no regrets. He found good and died a good Digimon, though he had led an evil Digimon's life. In the end, he was and forever will be a good Digimon; and forever be best friends with Gatomon.
"No, Wizardmon... NO!" Kari shrieked.
Like a mini-explosion, light erupted from her Crest and digivice. Demidevimon is having trouble holding onto the flashing Digivice. "I can't hold on!"
"I did tell you, Wizardmon." Vanessa shut her eyes as glowing, purple tears streaked down her cheeks. "You had a role to play, so important. And I was right...sadly."
Enveloped in white light, Gatomon's body rose into the air. The light was so bright to Myotismon that he was forced to cover his face with his cape.
Everyone else who had come to the top floor of Fuji TV, saw Gatomon change dramatically within the light.
A bright light transmits out of the digivice and through a crest. The picture of the crest is a flower with tiny diamond shaped petals going around it. The new light flows shines itself on...Gatomon. She turns a marble color, her whole body turns a pink marble wave color and the bright light flows through her. We can only see her outline as she grows taller, it seems that she has grown into a woman with long hair. Her paws/gloves slip off her delicate hands. A winged glove fits over her hand. Winged shoes appear on her feet and a robe and scarf fit around her body. Gatomon's eyes are seen and a metal mask covers over it. Eight wings from behind emerge and we can finally see her fully digivolved form. "Gatomon digivolve to...Angewomon!"
"Gatomon turned into an angel?" Kari says, looking up in wide eyed wonder.
Lady Despair actually face-palmed. "Another one?!"
She looked like a celestial maiden wearing an angel's raiment, or like an angel with spread wings. The only thing different was the helmet she wore that covered her head down to her eyes. "Myotismon, I will not judge you for courting my blood sister Kylie. However, not only did you and your mother interfere with the mission of both the Chosen Children and the guardians alike, but you have invaded the human world and killed my friend, Wizardmon. Learn the full weight of your sins!"
Myotismon could finally look upon Angewomon. "I will change everything in this world into darkness! Once Earth is fused with the Digital World, and become King of the Digiworld with Sirene's daughter as my bride. And no angel, spell-caster or Digimon has the power to stop me!"
Sierra turns to see her son set his sights on Kylie, and Lady Despair growls angrily, already irritated over being thwarted. She clenches her fist to cause a powerful surge of energy to go through Kylie.
"AAAAAHHH!" Kylie screamed in agony.
"KYLIE!" Everyone yelled in alarm.
"MOTHER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Myotismon demands.
"I warned you once, already, My Son!" Lady Despair growled out. "I WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS NYMPH'S BROOD IN OUR FAMILY!"
"You shall not harm her!" Angewomon declared firmly.
Lady Despair glared, but panicked on feeling the power of Angewomon, which was the essence of Sirene, her enemy thought to have been long dead.
"MYOTISMON, GET AWAY FROM HER!" Lady Despair screamed, only to have a scaly hand clasped over her mouth, and struggling with the Sea witch.
The two fought, until Vanessa grabs the back of Sierra's neck, and sends a volt of electricity through her neck.
"AHHH!" Lady Despair screamed and fell to the ground.
"Your point of weakness," Vanessa intones seriously. "You really should get around to finding some protection for it, My Lady." She said the last part sarcastically.
Myotismon turned and saw his mother prone at Vanessa feet, and felt his lips curl in rage.
"How dare you touch My Maker?!" Myotismon snarled, forgetting about Angewomon, and foolishly turning his back to her.
"Nightmare..." Myotismon crossed his arms to attack The Sea Witch.
"HEAVEN'S CHARM!"
Angewomon lifted her arms into the air, and a rainbow cloud appeared, showered down a wave of rainbow light. It touched Myotismon, whose eyes bulged out in agony, his teeth grit, and arms spasming, but unable to move. While Lady Despair screamed at Vanessa's feet. She grabbed at her flowing, golden hair, writhing under the power of the holy magic.
"AKU TAKE YOU WRETCHED ANGEL!" Lady Despair wailed in pain.
All the garthim stopped attacking the Warriors of Vulcan's forge, and the pink light left their eyes, before they turned grey, and fell to pieces.
"My strength is being restored!" MetalGreymon alerted.
WereGarurumon jumped back on the roof.
"Let's give our power to Angewomon!" Garudamon suggested.
"We have to do it together!" Beth cried.
"Horn Buster!" "Flower Cannon!" "Hammer Spark!" "Kaiser Nail!" "Shadow Wing!" "Atomic Blaster!" "Giga Destroyer!" "Hand of fate!"
Yui went first, "Starry barrage!"
Haruna was next sending a torrent of leaves and flowers, "Springtime gust!"
Dana threw out her palms, "Northern Tempest!"
Theo raised her left hand, "Flaming javelin!"
Sara motioned with both arms, "Naiad's attack"
Zaira, "Electro beam!"
"Kylie, please, we need you!" Beth called out to her adoptive sister. "Psionic heart!"
"I'll try..." Kylie bit her lip, "Seven crowns!"
Vanessa crossed her arms over her Sampo, and her eyes flower purple. "V-Beams!" And two straight rays of purple energy shot into the rainbow cloud.
Angewomon stretched out her left arm in front of her, while her right hand posed as if ready to let loose an arrow. The feather ornaments on the long arm glove she wore up to her left elbow extended out in the shape of a bow, and a bowstring and arrow made of light appeared, aiming at Myotismon.
"CELESTIAL ARROW!"
"Don't!" Myotismon begged.
"MY SON!" Lady Despair cried out.
Angewomon shot the arrow, which impaled Myotismon right through the heart, causing him to yell out in pain. "KYLIE!"
Kylie wailed, covering her eyes in horror and turning away with a heart wrenching sob. The vampire vanished into particles that exploded in a bright light. Lady Despair reaches out to her son, laying helpless on the floor of the roof.
"Noooo! My child!" Lady Despair sobbed, and with a slam of her hands on the floor, she disappeared in a good explosion of red mist.
"Myotismon disappeared…" Kari said awestruck.
The group cheered. Zaira and Theo exchange high-fives, only the whole building started to shake.
"It's dangerous here! We better run for it!" Sora called out.
Kylie just stood in shock barely registering the movements. Beth had to pull her arm to get her to react, "Kylie, we gotta go!"
The group had to quickly descend to the ground level. The battle at the very top of the globe-shaped observation deck had caused cracks in its structural support, and it could collapse at any moment.
"We defeated Myotismon!" Tai cheered.
"If you work hard at something, you finally succeed. Right?" Joe said.
"Yeah!" Mimi responded.
"Do you think the world will go back to how it was?" Matt wondered.
Beth cleared her throat, making them look her. The teen redhead than pointed to Kylie, who was standing away with Kari and T.K. They seemed to be uneasy about something.
"What's wrong?" Sora asked.
"Look around." T.K. observed anxiously.
"The fog…" Kari pointed up.
"What about it?"
But as they looked up their blood chilled, the fog barrier is still there?
