part 6:

Tai looked around the room at the total of his forces. There was Matt, on look out, someone he wouldn't want to live with, but he'll always feel safe with him watching his back, Gabumon, Matt's faithful Digimon. Then there was Mimi, his wife. From the day he asked her to be his bride he hasn't once regretted it. Mimi was putting their daughter to bed. Miko wasn't a fighter, but now, every person counted.

At his laptop as usual was Izzy, someone he had spent the last ten years fighting with. Izzy wasn't exactly the best 'people' person, but he could be counted on in a pinch.

Playing with her Digimon was his sister, Kari. He hadn't seen her in over 10 years, but she didn't want to talk to him, just with Gatomon. He could just be imagining it, but she seems to want to spend more time with Matt, then with Tai.

Last was their new alley. He was sitting in a chair, leaning against the wall, trying to sleep. Daisuke, that's what he called himself. Tai only knew him for a few days, but he was all ready becoming his best friend. Tai liked him because he was the most like him. Even his Digimon, V-mon, was like Agumon.

"What do we do now, Tai?" Kari asked, walking up to him.

Tai thought for a moment,"We need to leave this base. That's the first order of business."

"Hold on a minute," Izzy said, typing,"I'm almost finished with my calculations on the Digi Metal."

"What's a Digi Metal?" Matt asked.

Izzy looked at Tai. Tai nodded. "Come this way," Izzy said, walking over to the wall. Counting wooden panels from the left, he reached the 8th one. He pressed his hand against it and went he pushed back, the panel opened to reveal six eggs. Izzy reached inside and pulled out the orange one. He handed it to Matt, "This is a Digi Metal."

"Its an egg," Matt said, surprised,"a big egg, but still an egg."

"Every see an orange egg?" Tai asked him.

Matt shook his head and gave it back to Izzy. "What does it do?"

"Well," Izzy said, placing it on the table,"Hopefully it will allow our Digimon to be unaffected by the de-digivolveing rays that the Dark Knights wield."

"And you created it?" Kari asked,"Amazing! I mean, I knew you where smart, but never this smart."

Izzy blushed,"Well, I um.."

"Well, I'll be," Tentomon buzzed by," For once, Izzy's at a lose for words."



"Are any of our friends here?" T.K. asked as they walked down the streets of Tokyo.

"I am uncertain," Wizardmon said, he reached inside his jacket and pulled out the Crest of Light,"There has been no reaction from the crest, meaning Kari might not be in the city at all."

"Kari?" a voice asked,"Who is Kari?"

They turned to the sky to see the Dark Knight of Air riding on the Unimon. "Is that the Crest of Light?" he asked in a totally mechanical voice, showing no emotion at all.

"And would this boy be the Eight Child?" the Dark Knight of Earth asked, riding in on his Drimogemon. His voice was the same as the Dark Knight of Air's, showing no emotion or gender, but sounding younger.

"No," Air said,"the crest would react, besides, he has a Patamon, the Eight Digimon is Gatomon."

"Oh right," Earth said,"but he is a Digidestined, and Wizardmon is a traitor. Both will fetch a high price from Myotismon."

"Agreed," Air said," Unimon, attack."

"Arieal Attack!"

Wizardmon grabbed T.K. and jumped out of the way. Unimon's attack blasted the ground and smashed it into pieces.

"Now its my turn," Earth said," Drimogemon."

"Crusher Bone!"

They dodge that attack also. "I can't take this," Patamon said," Patamon digivovle to Angemon."

"Angemon'll show them who's boss!" T.K. said.

"Hand of Fate!" Angemon shouted, blasting at Earth.

"We can't have that," Air said, firing his dark energy ray at Angemon.

Angemon yelled in pain, as the de-digivolving blast hit him. "Oh no," T.K. said as Tokomon landed in his arms.

Wizardmon clenched his fist. "T.K, run."

"What?"

"You've got to run," Wizardmon said, handing him the Crest. "Take this and give it to you know who, understand?"

T.K. nodded,"Yeah, but, what about you?"

Wizardmon held up his staff,"I'll cover you, just go!"

"I won't forget you!" T.K. said.

"Go!"

T.K. gave his friend one last look, then ran, never looking back, not even when Wizardmon screamed.


"I heard something," Mimi said, suddenly.

"What?" Palmon asked.

"Heads up!" Matt said, running inside the base,"Two Dark Knights are outside."

They where just packing up, when Matt ran inside, shouting his warning.

"Okay guys," Tai said,"get ready. Now, here's the plan. Everyone digivolve to Ultimate now. We've got to hit them fast and hard before they can attack with their de-digivolveing blasts."

"Why don't we just use the Digi-Metal?" Matt asked, confused.

"Because it's still has many more experiments to go through," Izzy said, sadly.

"We can't worry about that now," Gabumon said, running inside, "They're here."

"All right guys," Agumon said, rallying the Digimon,"Let's do it. Agumon digivolve to Greymon!"

"Gabumon digivolve to Garurumon!"

"Palmon digivolve to Togemon!"

"Tentomon digivolve to Kabuterimon!"

"Greymon digivolve to Metalgreymon!"

"Garurumon digivolve to Weregarurumon!"

"Togemon digivolve to Lillymon!"

"Kabuterimon digivolve to Megakabuterimon!"

The Digimon, including Gatomon and V-mon ran outside to attack. Once outside they saw the Dark Knight of Fire and the Dark Knight of Water. Fire had a Skullmeramon, and Water was riding a Megaseadramon. Water held up a copy of the Crest of Light. It was glowing.

Turing to Fire, he said in the same computerized voice,"Looks like we've found the Eight Child."

Fire said,"Duh! Look at who Gatomon is protecting."

"It doesn't matter, now. Let's get them! Go, Megaseadramon."

"Thunder Javelin!"

Metalgreymon stood ready to face they attack, but Weregarurumon jumped in front and blocked it. "He was mine!" Metalgreymon said.

"You're part metal," Weregarurumon said,"You would have been the perfect conductor."

"Come on, Metalgreymon," Lillymon said, facing the Dark Knight of Fire,"We'll take this one."

"I'll help you Weregarurumon," Gatomon said, running over.

V-mon was going to help, but Daisuke held him back," Their Ultimate, you won't stand a chance."

His Digimon held his head low,"I guess so."

"Metal Fireball!"


Metalgreymon slashed the attack away with his metal claw. "You'll have to try harder than that."

"Yeah," Lillymon said,"Flower Cannon!"

The Dark Knight of Fire was thrown off of Skullmeramon's shoulders as Lillymon's attack connected.

"I'll get you for that," Fire said, holding up the device.

"Shoot!" Metalgreymon said as the de-digivoling blast hit them, turning them back into Koromon and Tanemon.

"Thunder Javelin!"

Gatomon was hit, throwing her back. "Its time to end this now!" Water said, blasting Weregarurumon with the de-digivolving attack.

"Great!" Matt said,"Now what?"

"I've got an idea!" Tai said, grabbing V-mon, he whispered something into his ear.

V-mon nodded and walked into the battlefield. "What's this?" Water asked, amuzed,"Does this rookie think he can beat my ultimate? It is to laugh, finish him off Megaseadramon."

"Thunder Javelin!"

As the lightning bolt came closer, V-mon jumped out of the way, then the stray bolt zapped the Dark Knight of Fire and his Skullmeramon rendering them unconscience.

"Yes!" Tai shouted,"we are now down one Dark Knight."

"But you still have me to worry about," Water said. Megaseadramon flew into the air and with a whip of his tail, sent V-mon flying back inside the hq.

"Oh no!" Daisuke shouted, running after him. He ran inside to see his Digimon lying on the remains of the broken table. Running over he slipped on something round. "The Digi-Metal," he said, examining it. He thought for a moment,"We're dead if I don't try something," he said, taking out his digivice.

Back outside, Megaseadramon was going in for the kill, when suddenly a bright light shot out from the hq.

"What's this?" Water asked as a figure emerged from the light. It was a blue, dragon man, wearing red armor with flames. "Who are you?"

He stared Megaseadramon in the eyes,"I am Fladramon!"

"I am unimpressed!" Water said, blasting this new Digimon with the de-digivolving blast.

Fladramon smiled as the blast hit him, but had no effect. "This can't be!" Water shouted.

"It is! Fire Knuckles!"

Fladramon fired a blast of fire at Megaseadramon. It hit dead on, sending him back under the water. "You may have defeated us," Water said,"but we now where the Eight Child is, you lose!"

After they had sunk under the water, Fladramon was once again emersed in a bright light. When it dimmed, V-mon stood there, with Daisuke walking out with the Digi-metal in his hand.

"Great!" Izzy said, "This means it works!"

"Yeah," Daisuke said,"You're a genius."

"Tai," Matt said," now that they definitely know we are here, we should get out of here, fast!"

"First things first," Tai said,"we have a Dark Knight here, uncounsous. We can learn a great deal about them. Izzy, start examining him."
