Part 5:

I need some help, does anyone know the Ultimate form of Devimon?

Yamato and Mimi smiled as they walked down the stairs to the ballroom. They did it. They had gotten married. It was only five hours ago. Five hours since they became man and wife and they couldn't be happier.

The ballroom was magnificent. There were hundreds of candles that littered the walls with a giant chandelier on the ceiling. But that wasn't what made this night special, it was the people there that night.

Everyone was there, Taichi, Cody, Koushiro, Jyou, Ken, Davis, Hikari, and Yolei.
The Digimon were there two, causing quite a commotion among the general public, those that had not been at the welcoming of the ambassador earlier.

"Lord Taichi, was it?" Puppetmon asked, walking up to him.

Taichi, who was talking to Cody and Koushiro, nodded. "Who's that?" Cody whispered to Koushiro, after seeing the Digimon standing behind Puppetmon.

Puppetmon must have heard that, because he said,"I would like to introduce to you, Lord Myotsimon, Commander of the Undead Squadron."

"An honor!" Myotismon said, bowing.

Taichi stared as the purple lips on that pasty white face moved into a smile. "I've heard so much about you," Myotismon said,"I heard you once single handedly fought an entire armies."

Taichi smiled,"No, that is not true...."

He looked at Myotismon devilish grin, and suddenly said,"It was two armies."

"Ahh!" Myotismon laughed,"So I see."


"Hahaha, I can't believe it!" Takeru laughed. He couldn't remember the last time he had laughed so hard. He was seated at the giant, royal table talking to Hikari. Not only was she beautiful, but funny too.

Hikari nodded,"Yes, its true! HAHAHAHA!" She couldn't describe it, but whenever she was around Takeru, she felt....different, like, there was something inside of her that was radiating. "Maybe its love," she thought to herself. Just then, her heart started to race. "Is it love?" she thought,"I am really in love with him?"

She stared at him. "I can't just say it, I have to be sure!" she thought,"Do I love him? If I say yes, I can't go back........Yes, I love him. I've got to tell Tai."

"If you'll excuse me," she said, getting up.

"Where are you going?" Takeru asked.

"I need to talk to my brother."

She found him conversing with Myotismon. As she approached, she could tell that the two of them were trying to impress the other. It was the worst kind of battle, a battle of words. She had to get Tai out of there.

"....so," Taichi said,"I was bloody, bruised and beaten, I couldn't see out of one eye, and it felt like my arm was going to fall off. My opponent didn't have a scratch on him, yet, I kept fighting. He thought I was dead, but...."

"Taichi," Hikari said, moving closer to him,"I need to speak to you."

"Later," Taichi said.

"Tai!" Hikari said.

Taichi sighed,"If you'll excuse me, Lord Myotismon."

He bowed and followed his sister to a corner of the ball room. "What is it?" he hissed,"What was so important that you had to drag me away from there?"

"I know what was going to happen!" she snapped back," Your short temper has gotten us into trouble more than once, and I, for one, am tired of having to apologize for you!"

Taichi sighed,"Okay, fine! What did you want to tell me?"

She sighed,"Okay, first of all, about you and Sora. I think she's a fine girl and will make you a very happy man."

Taichi smiled,"Thank you, for your support, Kari."

She nodded,"And there's something else. I....I think-no I am in love with someone!"

"Oh, Kari," Taichi said,"I'm happy for you. My little sister's growing up! Who's the lucky man?"

"Prince Takeru."

"Great!" Taichi said, patting her on the back,"I think he's crazy about you too."


In the background, Davis watched this, and felt his heart break. "So," he said, holding back his rage,"Hikari wishes to be with the high and mighty Takeru? Fine! I no longer care about this kingdom! Nothing here matters after this finaly betrayal! This kingdom is doomed!"


The party ran on for the next couple of hours. Nothing special happend, until later in the evening when Yamato became worried. He hadn't seen Mimi for the past hour, and he was becoming worried.

He began to search the floor, until he ran into Taichi.

"I beg your pardon!" Taichi said, bowing.

"That is all right," Yamato said,"Have you seen Mimi?"

"No," he said,"Is everything all right?"

"I have not seen her for hours."

"All right," Taichi said,"Let's see if anyone else has seen her."

He walked over to where Koushiro was being annoyed by Yolei. "So," she said,"I figured that, if Ken wasn't going to pay any attention to me, I showed start to find other people..."

Taichi smiled,"I think we'd better help Koushiro."

He walked over to them, "Guys, have you seen Princess Mimi?"

"Yeah," Yolei, "I saw her leave with Ken."

Taichi turned to Yamato. "I think I'd better go check this out. Koushiro, come on."

"Wait!" Yolei said,"I'm coming too."

"Go find Cody and Davis."

"Davis is gone too," Cody said, after joining them "I saw him run after Ken and Mimi."

"Hmm," Taichi said,"That's it. Ken has to be the traitor and Davis went after them. We've got to hurry!"

The small group ran out of the castle and hopped on their horses. "Koushiro, Yolei," Taichi said,"Can you tell us which way they went?"

Koushiro placed his hands on his head,"They are due west of here, about a hundred feet."

Yolei nodded,"I agree."

"Okay," Taichi said,"Let's move!"

From her room, Sora looked out the window. She watched Taichi ride off in the distance. "Oh, Taichi," she said, dreamily,"I love you so much, but, how can I love you, knowing you risk your life every day like this? How can I keep worrying like this?"

She smiled,"Simple, because I love you! Taichi, I think we need to tell them."


"Look!" Cody cried as they rode through the evening sky towards an area in the desert,"There they are!"

In the darkly lit desert, the group of four could make out two figures. They were fighting.

As they rode closer, they saw the one of the figures slammed the other to the ground. He took out his sword, and went to slice downward, but Koushiro chanted a magical spell, and the sword flew from his hand.

Taichi hopped off his horse and ran towards them. "What's going on here!"

The figure on the ground stood up,"I came here to try and save the Princess, because I knew what he was trying!"

Taichi turned to the figure standing up,"Okay, explain yourself Ken!"

"Ken?" the figure asked.

"I'm here!" the figure on the ground said. He stepped closer and Taichi could see that it was Ken. "But," Taichi said,"That means...."

He turned to the other figure. He stepped closer. "Davis!" Taichi yelled,"You're the traitor?"

Davis shrugged,"I guess so!"

"Why?"

"Because of your sister!" he said,"Your sister chose Takeru over me! And for that, Takeru will die! I've chosen my new side, the Digital Land!"

"Where is Mimi?"

Davis smiled. "Gone!"

"You killed her?" Taichi screamed.

"I never said that!" Davis shouted," And now I will make my escape."

"I don't think so!" Taichi said, moments before Cody slammed Davis in the head, knocking him unconscious.


Later that night, Puppetmon and Myotismon returned to their ship docked at the harbor. "I still don't understand why we must place by their rules!" Myotismon said.

"Because," Puppetmon said,"We need those keys, and, if we go in, with sword shown, they're going to start investigating, and then retaliate with the sole purpose of getting those keys back! We must be patient!"

"Arg!" Myotismon yelled,"I am a warrior, not a negotiator! If I don't get to annihilate something soon, I'm going to go mad!"

"Patients!" Puppetmon said,"After those keys are ours, you can destroy all you want!"

Myotismon laughed. "Good! There will be nothing left of this kingdom!"
