Staring upon the Mega form of Argomon, the atmosphere filled with dread amongst the Digidestined.
Not only was Argomon's Mega form tremendous in size, but with the continued reproduction and replication of his lesser Argomon army, the tide of battle was not in their favor.
Adding to their dilemma and looking around the area, the Digidestined and their partners could see Argomon's corruption spreading all around them.
The ground rotted away and was replaced with purple wires, which sprawled along the nearby trees and plantlife, before menacing eyeballs emerged from the cables.
"Damn! Every time we take down half of Argomon's army, they just keep coming!" CresGarurumon snarled in clear frustration to the seemingly endless army of Argomon, as before opening fire upon the lesser of the Argomon, who rushed the heroes.
Destroying the Rookies and the Champion Level Argomon with no trouble, concern overtook the Digidestined and their partners as the environment exposed to Argomon's corruption seemed to take a mind of its own.
Shooting from out the infected battlefield, cables shot toward CresGarurumon, HerculesKabuterimon and Seraphimon, consuming and restricting the Digimon of Knowledge.
"Seraphimon, watch out!" CresGarurumon shouted.
His protectiveness as an older brother toward TK taking over, the Digimon of Friendship pushed Seraphimon aside before the cables could snare around the Digimon of Hope, and instead took hold of CresGarurumon.
Seeing CresGarurumon now bound by Argomon's cables, the Digimon of Hope was consumed with concern.
"CresGarurumon, no!" He cried, his concerns growing to see the dark purple which had consumed and infected the area now spreading along CresGarurumon's body, much to his clear struggling and pain.
And looking toward HerculesKabuterimon, Seraphimon could see the same infection spreading along the Digimon's body.
"I can feel Argomon... He's trying to merge his programming into us..." HerculesKabuterimon said through his growing groans, before the Digimon of Knowledge gave a sudden cry, not only as the dark purple hue covering his skin spread further along his frame, but as Rookie Argomon began to grow from the darkness covering his body, the sight terrifying the Digimon of Hope.
Looking to see the Argomon army continuing to grow, to see the corruption spreading and his friends consumed further by the Mega Level Digimon's power, though there was doubt and fear within his heart, Seraphimon clenched his fist and looked upon the towering form that was Argomon.
Inside their core, TK and Patamon looked to one another and nodded, the Digidestined and Digimon of Hope refusing to allow their fears to stop them, to keep fighting with all their spirit.
Spreading his angelic wings out, Seraphimon rushed forth toward Argomon and the army of lesser Level Digimon before him, declaring with great might. "I will beat you. I will free my friends. I will stop you! Hallowed Knuckle!"
Slamming his right hand forward and into a Champion Level Argomon, the force of the punch erupted through the Digimon and shot past a faction of Argomon's forces, deleting many of the replicated Digimon, before coming into contact with the Mega Level Digimon's face.
Though the blast's size was insignificant compared to Argomon, the power within caused devastation, even forcing Argomon to recoil backward and give an inhuman cry of pain.
To the sudden pain that came with Seraphimon's attack, this caused the lesser Argomon to turn their focus upon the angelic Digimon, to act on their instincts and to protect their creator.
Gathering in numbers and circling all around Seraphimon, the smaller Argomon charged up and prepared to strike down the Digimon of Hope, but found Seraphimon increase his own power.
"We won't give up! Rising Halo!" Seraphimon declared, the angelic Digimon harnessing his might as he brought his arm down, bringing down a shower of thunderous bolts, which enveloped and vaporized the oncoming Argomon, the sight leaving CresGarurumon and HerculesKabuterimon in awe, while astonishing the Mega Level Argomon.
"Heaven's Hand!" The Celestial Digimon then announced as he furthered his display of divine power.
Stretching out his body and casting forth his very life energy, the light shone around the area and began to vaporize the Rookie and Champion Level Argomon, while tearing through the darkness upon CresGarurumon and HerculesKabuterimon.
With this change in their battle, CresGarurumon and HerculesKabuterimon felt their hope returning, believing that their training and their continued bonds of friendship would help them put an end to Argomon once and for all.
And even though Seraphimon was drained, reverting back to the tired forms of TK and Tokomon, the Digimon of Friendship and the Digimon Knowledge remained determined to finish what TK and Tokomon had started.
The numbers of Agromon down and the leader of the hivemind vulnerable, CresGarurumon charged ahead, while HerculesKabuterimon took to the skies to face the gargantuan sized Digimon.
Closing in on Argomon, CresGarurumon and HerculesKabuterimon refused to allow anything slow them down, the duo avoiding the countermeasures of their enemy, which took the form of the menacing eyes scattered through the cables releasing red beams of energy.
"Beast Cyclone!"
"Mega Electro Shocker!"
Their attacks landing successfully upon Agromon, causing the Mega Level Digimon to stumble back from the blows, CresGarurumon and HerculesKabuterimon leapt back and found their attacks exposed a weakness within Argomon's body.
Despite the immense size of the Digimon, Argomon was actually made of countless Rookie/ Argomon, this new information quickly registering to the Digimon of Knowledge.
"Find the core." HerculesKabuterimon told CresGarurumon. "Destroy the core and the body should fall."
Guided by HerculesKabuterimon's words and looking over Argomon, CresGarurumon tried to find any signs of weakness core, but found the Mega Level Digimon show its fury to the attacks as it gave another inhuman shriek, its mouth filled with energy, which it then cast down as a mass of destructive energy.
Soaring down and even tearing through its Argomon drones, CresGarurumon and HerculesKabuterimon swept to the sides to avoid an instant deletion from the gargantuan sized Digimon.
However, as Argomon ceased its attack, recharging its energy for another lethal blow, CresGarurumon saw it.
Residing within the back of the mouth itself rested a dark purple Digi-Egg, which was connected to several wires and linking with the Argomon close-by.
"There it is, the core!" Izzy informed and caused CresGarusumon to act.
Charging toward Argomon as its mouth filled with another wave of destructive energy, the Digimon of Friendship showed no fear as Argomon opened fire.
"Ice Moon Fang!" The Digimon of Friendship bellowed with might, the air around CresGarurumon coming to a sudden chill and encasing the surrounding area in ice, alongside his being.
Countering to CresGarurumon, Argomon opened fire and released all the devastating energy upon the Digimon of Friendship, who, through his unyielding determination, deflected and shot clean through the attack, before arriving at the core of Argomon.
Giving a great and mighty roar, CresGarurumon cut clean through the cables connecting the Digi-Egg to the Argomon hivemind, which severed the connection through the Mega Level Digimon.
With no hivemind to give the orders, Argomon began to fall, his body crumbling and breaking apart, separating into dozens of immobile In-Training and Rookie Level Argomon, which quickly dissolved into Data particles now that they had used themselves up.
As for the Digi-Egg, the core of Argomon, though there was some nagging in their heads at the predicament before them, Matt and Gabumon knew they had to destroy Argomon's Digi-Egg.
"This is the end. Beast Cyclone!" CresGarurumon declared as he gave one final and great spin, slicing clean through the corrupt Digi-Egg, which split apart and burst into countless particles of dark Data, which also caused the great mass of fallen Argomon to fade from existence alongside the rule of their hivemind.
With Argomon defeated and no longer in existence, CresGarurumon reverted back to the drained forms of Matt and Gabumon, which was followed by HerculesKabuterimon breaking apart from his Mega form and returning to the Digidestined and Digimon of Knowledge.
"You did it, Matt." TK said as approached the Digidestined of Friendship, with Tokomon resting in his arms.
Smiling back at TK, Matt nodded in reply, his emotions divided.
Even though he was proud of TK's display of power and strength, there were far more evils to face before even confronting the Demon Lord of Lust.
"We need to find others and help them to defeat Lilithmon's remaining forces." Izzy informed, his words receiving no complaint from Matt or TK, who each nodded in reply with the Digimon of Knowledge.
Ignoring the draining strain within their bodies, the Digidestined and Digimon of Friendship, of Hope and of Knowledge pushed forth, the group venturing within Lilithmon's domain, all the while hoping that their friends were faring in their own battles and endeavors.
.
.
.
While Matt, TK, Izzy and their partners made tracks through Lilithmon's castle, in the hopes of reuniting with their friends, the fearocious force that was Megidramon left a great path of destruction in his wake as the Hazard Digimon sought to eliminate
Sweeping under the flames of the tremendous beast, BlitzGreymon found their chances to attack very limited.
"We have to be careful. I can sense his rage is boosting his power." BlitzGreymon said in warning, his words earning compliant nods from UlforceVeedramon and Phoenixmon, who too remained on a defensive path.
"You won't stop me from casting destruction on the Digital World!" Megidramon growled with a continued and uncontrollable rage, the Hazard Digimon continuing to spray his wicked flames throughout the area, destroying all which stood in his way.
Moving quickly, Phoenixmon and UlforceVeedramon dodged Megidramon flames, while BlitzGreymon thought fast as he used Elec Guard to form a barrier around Sora, who remained positioned on the wall, protecting her from incoming flames.
"I won't let Megidramon hurt you no matter what" BlitzGreymon said in Tai's voice, which caused Sora to smile at knowing Tai would always be there to protect her.
"I hate to break your loving moment guys, but we still have an overgrown lizard to beat!" The duo then heard UlforceVeedramon call out, the combined voices of Davis and Veemon sounding alarmed, which caused BlitzGreymon to look back towards Megidramon and found UlforceVeedramon and Phoenixmon dodging his flames.
Unable to land a hit on his current targets, BlitzGreymon then saw the Hazard Digimon turn his attention toward the Digimon of Courage.
Lunging at BlitzGreymon, the Digimon of Courage responded in kind as the cannons mounted to his back turned to face the oncoming attack.
"Thunder Vernier!" BlitzGreymon bellowed as he fired forth a great blast of electric energy which slammed into Megidramon's chest and sent the massive beast crashing into the otherside of the courtyard, much to UlforceVeedramon, Phoenixmon and Sora's surprise.
"Nice one!" The knight Digimon called declared with pride.
However, the feeling of gratitude within BlitzGreymon and his friends was taken away when a sudden surge of darkness emitted from the smoke and debris.
When the smoke cleared, the three Digimon and Sora were shocked to see that in place of Megidramon was an entirely different Digimon, a dark and foreboding humanoid based figure clad in darkened armor, with dark blue trimmings around his shoulders, waist, kneecaps and feet.
Looking the creature over, BlitzGreymon and the others saw its appearance closely resembling a knight such as UlforceVeedramon, even holding a dark blue cape which flew down the Digimon's back, but staring past his helmet and into the menacing yellow eyes, the heroes of the Digital World could see the ever growing evils of Megidramon.
"You've made a big mistake. You've gone and made me show my true form!" The dark knight digimon declared with a familiar fury in his tone as he cast his lance in a horizontal arc which sent a powerful dark wave of energy toward UlforceVeedramon, Phoenixmon, who were thrown back by the relentless power ChaosGallantmon wielded, shocking BlitzGreymon and Sora.
"What's going on?! His power is much different than before!" BlitzGreymon commented from the sense of further dark power emanating from the dark knight Digimon.
"I am no longer that raging beast Megidramon, I am ChaosGallantmon!" ChaosGallantmon said as he took one step forward, disappearing and repairing in a dark wisp before BlitzGreymon.
"You will be the first to fall before me. Chaos Crusher!" ChaosGallantmonthen bellowed as he released the growing darkness being through his shield and upon BlitzGreymon, impacting the Digimon of Courage and throwing him across the room.
Shocked at the sight, to see BlitzGreymon in pain, concern filled Sora, Phoenixmon and UlforceVeedramon.
"Tai! Agumon!" Sora and Phoenixmon called with a further worry within their voices upon seeing the Digimon of Courage taken down with one attack, a feeling UlforceVeedramon shared as he overlooked the damage inflicted upon BlitzGreymon.
Turning back to ChaosGallantmon and drawing his blade, UlforceVeedramon prepared to face their new foe, and to avenge his fallen friend.
"Victory Sword!" UlforceVeedramon declared as he charged toward the dark knight Digimon, but found ChaosGallantmon blocked the attack with his shield.
"Is that all you can do?" ChaosGallantmon questioned, showing clear control over his fury and through his dark power as he bellowed. "Demons Disaster!"
Blasting forth another wave of dark power, which shot from his lance, UlforceVeedramon groaned in agony as he was thrown across the room by the terrible power Megidramon, now ChaosGallantmon wielded.
Groaning from the strain inflicted to their beings, but pushing past their pain, BlitzGreymon, Phoenixmon and UlforceVeedramon started to get up, their forms greatly damaged, but holding faith in one another kept the trio from giving up.
ChaosGallantmon was getting ready to strike once again, when he noticed something out of the corner of his eyes, looking to see the barrier protecting Sora from getting harm was weakening after thrashing BlitzGreymon.
"I should start my destruction by destroying that loathsome human, Chaos Shot!" ChaosGallantmon then declared as he unleashed another blast of dark energy from his lance and toward Sora.
Unable to move in time, the blast struck the barrier protecting the Digidestined of Love, to which the impact disrupted the electrical current and threw Sora back in a great blast of power and destruction.
Crying loudly to the pain now coursing through her, Sora's torment continued as the orange haired Digidestined's body smashed through a section of debris, which crumbled upon her, much to the Digimon's horror.
"Sora!" BlitzGreymon, UlforceVeedramon and Phoenixmon cried out in concern, especially when they did not see any sign of the Digidestined of Love beneath the rubble.
Shocked, fearing the worst and unable to see Sora, something snapped within BlitzGreymon.
"You're going to pay for hurting her, you bastard!" BlitzGreymon yelled in anger, the electricity running through his form and intensifying, even turning a dark shade of red, which was reflected within his eyes.
"BlitzGreymon, wait!" Phoenixmon called out, the avian Digimon worried for Blitzgreymon's mental wellbeing, but found it was too late as BlitzGreymon roared furiously and charged with primal rage at the dark knight Digimon in anger, where the Digimon of Love and Miracles looked horrified to see their friend's armour turning black from his clear rage and the hatred rotting away at his heart.
"What's going on with BlitzGreymon?!" UlforceVeedramon questioned in concern and worry, shock filling him as the Digimon of Miracles turned to Phoenixmon and asked with a continued concern for his friends. "Did this ever happen to Tai and Agumon before?"
Shaking her head and knowing too well about Agumon's darker side, Phoenixmon told the Digimon of Miracles. "Agumon once lost control of himself when Tai was starting out as a Digidestined, but I thought he'd managed to control that dark side to him by now."
"Do you remember how Agumon turned back to normal?" UlforceVeedramon then asked, hoping that he could somehow stop BlitzGreymon without having to fight or oppose him.
"The first time he returned to normal he wore himself out and De-Digivolved back to Koromon, but I have a bad feeling with the added energy Tai is giving, it'll take too long this time." Phoenixmon replied as she looked upon the enraged form of BlitzGreymon, sensing a broken heart within his darkness.
"I think the only way to calm his rage is by showing that Sora is alright." Phoenixmon then said, keeping an eye on the fury that was the Digimon of Miracles. "BlitzGreymon might be in a frenzy, but his heart is still guided by Tai and Agumon's feelings."
Moving quickly, UlforceVeedramon rushed towards the pile of debris Sora was buried under, quickly lifting and moving the rocks to find the Digidestined of Love, the Digimon of Miracles praying that she was alright.
"Sora? Sora, please answer me!" Phoenixmon cried in growing desperation, the concerns for her partner further consuming her.
Pushing a large chunk of debris from off the ground and finding Sora pinned underneath, some relief filled UlforceVeedramon and Phoenixmon, to see that though she had taken some damage, Sora was alive given the proper treatment.
Reverting back to her Rookie form and approaching her partner, Biyomon looked upon the orange haired Digidestined with mixed feelings, warmth to see Sora had survived the attack, but concern continued to grip at Biyomon's heart to the pain Sora was obviously in.
Empathetic to Biyomon's pain, Sora slid a hand to the avain Digimon, gently cupping her cheek.
"Please don't cry, Biyomon. After everything you've been through for me, it was about time I learnt to defend myself and for you." Sora said with a weak smile, the Digidestined of Love ignoring the injuries to her body.
Before Biyomon could reply to Sora, the duo heard a sudden and terrible roar of pain.
With UlforceVeedramon removing the last of the debris from off of her being, and turning and with assistance from Biyomon, Sora was shocked at the sight now present to her, to see BlitzGreymon facing ChaosGallantmon.
However, her main concern was seeing a similar darkness emanating from the dark knight Digimon now plaguing the Digimon of Courage.
"Wh... what happened to BlitzGreymon? Why does he look so different?" Sora asked with growing worry, the dark memories of SkullGreymon resurfacing to see the darkness overtaking Tai and Agumon.
"After seeing ChaosGallantmon attack you, BlitzGreymon just lost it." UlforceVeedramon informed.
Although the Digimon of Miracles tried his best not to point blame, Sora felt a growing pain in her heart, believing Tai and Agumon's dark activation was her doing, her anguish something the Digimon of Miracles picked up on, which caused him to say, planning to set things right with Tai and Agumon. "Biyomon, I need you to stay with Sora and keep her safe, while I try to get Tai and Agumon to snap out of it."
Remaining by Sora and allowing her partner to rest on her for support, UlforceVeedramon then charged towards the battle, to confront ChaosGallantmon and break the darkness blackening the hearts of the Digimon of Courage.
His superior speed allowed UlforceVeedramon to quickly shoot into battle, Biyomon then turned her attention back to her partner and found Sora remained just as upset and worried as ever.
"This is my fault..." Sora said, her hands trembling. "It's because of me that Tai and Agumon are in so much pain..."
Empathetic toward her partner, Biyomon told Sora. "You aren't to blame for any of this. Tai is just acting on his feelings for you. He's been misguided by his heart and needs to remember what he's truly fighting for."
Encouraged by Biyomon's words, and looking upon the fury that was BlitzGreymon, Sora closed her eyes and listened carefully, listening to the pain expressed through the Digimon of Courage.
Through BlitzGreymon's continued battle cries, through each attack delivered, Sora could sense the darkness within the Digimon of Courage and now forced its will upon Tai, even hearing the distant words expressed from the brunette.
"I couldn't protect Sora... I was too weak to save her... All that training, and I couldn't do anything..."
While dodging both attacks from ChaosGallantmon and BlitzGreymon, the royal knight turned to face his friend.
"Tai, you have to snap out of it. Sora's safe!" He called in desperation, but found the darkness of the Digimon of Courage directed to and suddenly forced upon him.
Too lost in his darkness to listen to UlforceVeedramon's words, BlitzGreymon turned his cannons toward the Digimon of Miracles, gave another dark bellow and cast forth a wave of pitch black electricity, which coursed through UlforceVeedramon and left the individual forms of Davis and Veemon crying in agony within.
To the sight, Sora gently slid from Biyomon's assistance and rose to her feet.
Her Digivice drawn and her emotions rising, Sora refused to allow anymore harm befall those she had come to love, a feeling shared through Biyomon, who concentrated and could feel her heart beating in synch with Sora's.
The Digidestined and Digimon of Love guided by their emotion, by their love, Sora and Biyomon stretched a hand and a wing toward the other, furthering their bond and causing a spark between the pair.
"Biyomon, let us unite to protect everyone we carefor, everyone we have come to love. Together, we will fight the darkness!" Sora said as hold up her Digivice as it started to glow red light as the Crest of Love appeared on the screen, this causing Sora to then announce with further might. "Biomerge activate!"
"Biyomon Biomerge to..." Biyomon began to say, the Digimon of Love enveloped in pure crimson energy, which spread to and consumed Sora.
United, Sora and Biyomon's hearts and minds were linked through a single entity deep within the energies combining them.
Casting aside the energies with a wave of a more feminine hand and standing as one, the combination of Sora and Biyomon declared their new name, announcing the true might of their love. "SacredPhoenixmon!"
.
.
.
Back with UlforceVeedramon, the Digimon of Miracles was breathing deeply, the injuries he had sustained from BlitzGreymon and ChaosGallantmon were catching up to him.
Despite his speed and determined efforts, UlforceVeedramon was unable to simultaneously combat ChoasGallantmon and fend off the relentless attacks of the Digimon of Courage.
"Chaos Crusher!" ChaosGallantmon then bellowed, casting forth another dark pulse of energy from his shield.
Giving a furious cry, BlitzGreymon retaliated, the darkened Digimon charging his fists with a similar dark power and charging toward ChaosGallantmon's attack, which left UlforceVeedramon caught in the crossfire.
Before either of the attacks could land, an uproar of golden flames shot around UlforceVeedramon, protecting the combined force of Davis and Veemon from ChaosGallantmon's attack and forcing BlitzGreymon to repel himself from the sudden inferno.
Puzzled himself as the flames died down, UlforceVeedramon found a new Digimon protecting him.
Presenting herself before UlforceVeedramon,BlitzGreymon and ChaosGallantmon, the newly formed Digimon was almost as tall as Phoenixmon, only she held a more humanoid figure in her appearance.
Orange and golden armor, which was decorated in purple markings, closely resembling hieroglyphics writing covered her being, the material seemed to almost cling to the Digimon's skin this protecting her from harm and showing off her figure
Rising her head and revealing that her more Phoenixmon-like features were in fact a helmet, the Digimon around gazed upon the true face of the new Digimon, to see that past the tattoo upon her left cheek, which was shaped exactly like the Crest of Love itself was a deep and everburning wish to protect those she loved within her shining blue eyes.
Hovering in place before the corrupted Digimon between her, the combined forces of Sora and Biyomon then allowed a set of giant golden wings to emerge and spread from her back, furthering her astonishing appearance.
Bewildered by her initial appearance, but sensing the love within the Digimon's heart, UlforceVeedramon asked. "Sora? Biyomon? Is that you guys?"
SacredPhoenixmon turned herself back to face UlforceVeedramon, the Digimon looking to her friend with a kind and soft smile. "Yes. Together we have become one, but later right now we need to focus on our two problems, defeating ChaosGallantmon and to free BlitzGreymon from the darkness."
Nodding in reply, agreeing with SacredPhoenixmon's words, UlfroceVeedramon returned his attention back upon ChaosGallantmon, to see the dark knight Digimon had recovered from his initial surprise at the further evolution of love.
"Do whatever you can to smack Tai back to his senses. I'll do what I can to stall ChaosGallantmon." The Digimon of Miracles offered as he started to charge toward ChaosGallantmon.
His energy blade drawn and clashing into battle with ChaosGallantmon, SacredPhoenixmon turned her attention to BlitzGreymon, the Digimon of Love preparing herself to break Tai from his darkness.
"Tai, please calm down. I'm okay!" SacredPhoenixmon said, expressing her more human side in the hopes her words could break through the darkness.
"Shut up!" The dark form of BlitzGreymon snapped, the warp minded Digimon of Courage remaining in his frenzy. "I lost Sora because I couldn't protect her. I will end all this pain by destroying everything! Thunder Vernier!"
Aiming the cannons mounted to his back toward SacredPhoenixmon, BlitzGreymon bellowed furiously, the Digimon of Courage expressing his continued rage as he released the dark and terrible energies upon SacredPhoenixmon.
Acting fast to the attacks, SacredPhoenixmon swept herself around the room, doing all she could to avoid BlitzGreymon's destructive wake.
Concerned for her partner and their friends, Biyomon mentally linked her mind with Sora's, telling the Digidestined of Love from within their shared heart. {Sora, at this rate BlitzGreymon will tear down the entire building.}
{I know you're right Biyomon, but we need to find a way to reach into him...} Sora began to say, the Digidestined of Love expressing reservations to the thought of harming Tai, but found herself unable to finish her thoughts as another blast of lighting was fired from out BlitzGreymon's cannons and struck her being, the impact throwing SacredPhoenixmon down and damaging the Digimon of Love greatly.
However, refusing to give up, to know Tai and Agumon would push themselves in such a situation, the combined force of Sora and Biyomon pulled themselves back up, their wings spread as they shot toward the Digimon of Courage.
Seeing SacredPhoenixmon rushing toward him, BlitzGreymon acted on defense, the Dark Digimon of Courage reeling his cannons toward the Digimon of Love, charging up the dark energies altering his very mind, which he then fired.
"Thunder Vernier!" BlitzGreymon yelled through his violent frenzy, firing forth blast after blast of dark thunder upon the Digimon of Love.
However, guided by her heart, SacredPhoenixmon did all she could to avoid the attacks, the Digimon of Love closing in on BlitzGreymon and only flinching slightly to the few blasts of thunder which narrowly struck her wings.
{we need to come up with a plan because i have a feeling one more attack of that we will be down for good} Biyomon thought
Closing in on BlitzGreymon and acting on her feelings, SacredPhoenixmon retaliated in a way which caught BlitzGreymon off guard, the Digimon of Love wrapping her arms around his body and holding herself closely to his chest.
But mistaking SacredPhoenixmon's embrace for an attack, BlitzGreymon retaliated, the Digimon of Courage expelling a sudden surge of dark electricity from off of his body, which began coursing through the Digimon of Love.
In great pain from the electrical current, but refusing to let go, SacredPhoenixmon pushed past her pain, her arms remaining wrapped tightly around the misled Digimon of Courage.
"Tai..." SacredPhoenixmon managed to say, the Digimon of Love continuing to express the more human side of her Biomerge. "I know you're still inside there... Let me into your heart and help you..."
Wrapping her arms tighter around BlitzGreymon, her eyes closed and pushing herself even further, when Sora opened her eyes, she found herself separated from Biyomon, the Digidestined of Love no longer in her shared mind as SacredPhonixmon, but within the very heart of BlitzGreymon's mind.
Taking in the sights and seeing that Tai and Agumon's Biomegred mind shared an appearance similar to hers' and Biyomon's, the area illuminated with pure amber data circling all through the area, looking further into the area ahead of her and seeing a growing blackness, concern returned to the Digidestined of Love.
Approaching the patch of darkness and taking in its true form, Sora felt her heart breaking, to see amongst the various dark wisps of energy was Tai himself, the Digidestined of Courage strung up and staring vacantly ahead as the darkness seemed to only further spread itself along his bound body.
"Tai?" Sora called, her tone growing in concern, especially as Tai showed no reaction.
"Tai, can you hear me?" The Digidestined of Love then questioned, but found Tai remained silent.
Reaching out for Tai, to try and remove the darkness spreading along his body, the dark energies binding the Digidestined of Courage seemed to react, as if protecting itself instinctively as a tendil of darkness shot out and smacked Sora's hand, this causing Sora to flinch from the sudden attack.
"It's all your fault that Sora got hurt... You couldn't protect her... You couldn't protect anyone... You bring pain to everyone around you... Kari, Agumon, Sora... everyone you say you love, you only hurt... You don't deserve to be a leader, you don't deserve to be loved...!"
Listening to the dreaded voice which seemed to echo from all around them, Sora could feel a growing unease, to see the darkness around Tai reshaping itself, forming into a shadow-like version of the Digidestined of Courage and trying to take over and consume the real Tai Kamiya.
"Y... you're right... it is my fault..." Tai said, his tone sharing the distance within his expression. "I can't protect anyone... All I do is cause pain..."
Hearing Tai express such doubt in himself only broke Sora's heart, but this also concerned the Digidestined of Love, to see the darkness further consuming Tai.
If she didn't act soon, the Digidestined she had come to cherish and loved would be lost to the darkness forever.
Refusing to allow Tai to seep further into his darkness and acting on her heart and love, Sora felt her emotions and her love transferring from her Digivice and into her heart, this reflecting off the orange haired Digidestined as her hand glowed with a powerful light red energy.
The light of her love by her side, Sora pushed forward, the Digidestined of Love finding the darkness consuming her beloved extending with several dark tendrils in response to the perceived threat, only Sora continued to push ahead, her light cutting through the opposing darkness and refusing to allow anymore harm to befall the Digidestined of Courage.
Reaching Tai's restricted form and wrapping her arms around him, tears trailing down her face, Sora spoke once again, expressing her heart. "You don't need to carry this burden alone any longer, Tai. Please know that no matter what happens, you'll always have others who truly care about you, people who love you. Tai...please come back to me..."
To Sora's emotion and finally able to hear her voice, Tai turned his head, his hazy eyes looking upon the Digidestined of Love and asking. "S... Sora, is that you...?"
Answering Tai's reply and expressing her love, Sora leaned in, kissing Tai deeply on the lips, which caused a spark to return within Tai's eyes.
Separating from their kiss after a brief period and leaning back, Sora looked over Tai, looking to see life returning within the brunette's eyes, while the darkness binding his body began to fade away.
"Sora, is that really you and not just an illusion from the darkness?" Tai asked as tears too ran down his cheeks.
Lifted from the darkness and looking upon Tai with absolute love, to feel the pain no longer gripping at either of their hearts, Sora found herself unable to speak, but to act, to once again kiss claim Tai's lips in a warm and loving kiss, the action this time Tai returned with a matching affection for the Digidestined of Love.
Sliding her left up and wiping the tears away from his cheek, Sora then said in reply. "I'm not an illusion, you can trust me, Tai."
"I will tell you how I got here later, but right now Davis and Veemon need our help." The Digidestined of Love then informed, expressing a more serious tone, which caused Tai to share a similar emotion and to nod in reply.
.
.
.
Returning to the outside of the shared mindset of the Digimon of Courage and of Love, SacredPhoenixmon remained in place.
Continuing to embrace BlitzGreymon close to her, SacredPhoenixmon's expression was no longer of pain, but of hope, to see the dark aura around BlitzGreymon had faded, while his armour regained its familiar red shine.
SacredPhoenixmon leaned back to look at the Digimon of Courage, the Digimon of Love ecstatic to see BlitzGreymon uplifted from the darkness and back to his proper state of mind.
"BlitzGreymon! I'm so glad that you're back to normal!" SacredPhoenixmon said, the Digimon of Love expressing herself through Sora and Biyomon's voices.
Feeling a similar emotion to SacredPhoenixmon, but remembering their conflict before, BlitzGreymon turned, the Digimon of Courage looking over to see UlforceVeedramon in the midst of combatting ChaosGallantmon.
And try as he might, the injuries sustained from his battle against BlitzGreymon's darker side had placed the Digimon of Miracles at a disadvantage.
"Thank you for helping me…" BlitzGreymon started to say, keeping a warmth in his eyes, but fell silent to the appearance of the new Digimon hovering before him.
"Sora? Biyomon, is that you?" BlitzGreymon asked through Tai and Agumon's voices, shocked and in awe to see the newly formed Biomerged Digimon before them.
"Yes, but we can talk about this later. Right now UlforceVeedramon needs our help!" SacredPhoenixmon said in reply, her concern causing the Digimon of Courage to nod in reply, before taking off to help their friend against the dark knight Digimon.
"This is the end for you." ChaosGallantmon said with a malice in his tone as he looked to the injured form of UlforceVeedramon, where the dark knight Digimon brought his shield up and declared with a further dread. "Chaos Crusher!"
"Amare Shot!" The voices of Sora and Biyomon called out, where a powerful blast of bright red energy shaped like an arrow then struck ChaosGallantmon's shield, the dark Digimon groaning as the attack hit his weapon, dealing a fair amount of damage, which only grew as his shield shattered in his hand.
Surprised himself to see ChoasGallantmon's shield breaking apart Ulforceveedramon looked over, the Digimon of Miracles surprised to see SacredPhoenixmon with a bow drawn in her hands, having cast off the attack, one filled with her love and care, making it strong enough to shatter the Dark Digimon's shield in the process.
"Now's our chance, hit him with everything you have!" SacredPhoenixmondeclared, the Digimon of Love ready to end the battle and to help the rest of her friends.
Nodding in reply, BlitzGreymon and UlforceVeedramon united as one, the Digimon of Courage and of Miracles joining SacredPhoenixmon's power in order to finish off the dark knight Digimon once and put an end to his frenzied evil.
"Plasma Stake!"
"The Ray of Victory!"
"Amare Shot!"
Their attacks cast forth, BlitzGreymon's electricity and UlforceVeedramon's light combined, their separate powers swirling around SacredPhoenixmon's energy into a power ChaosGallantmon was unable to defend against.
With a cry of rage, agony and disbelief, the dark knight Digimon was consumed by the combined might of the three Digimon, his armour cracking apart and body dissolving into Data particles, ending his terror once and for all.
Catching their breath and a little drained, but remembering their friends had gone on ahead, including Kari and Gatomon, UlforceVeedramon looked to the other and said with determination. "We need to hurry and help the others."
Nodding in reply, the trio rushed into the castle, all in similar hopes that the rest of their friends were alright, and that they would be able to take the fight to Lilithmon herself and able to end the Demon Lord's evil once and for all.
