AGE OF MYOTISMON
Before reading this fic, read 'Final Fight with Darkness' then 'Spirit of Courage'
Part 1: Prophecies
Chapter one:
The Digidestined were seated around a campfire centered in a clearing in the forest. The Warrior of Love, Sora, looked at the man she loved. He was sitting on a log, with his back against a tree, facing the fire. His name was Tai Kamiya, but that was before he died, in a battle with Myotismon. Now, both he and Myotismon were back.
He didn't even look the same. His nest of brown hair had become short white hair. He no longer wore goggles. Instead of shorts, he wore silver pants. He wore a sword and a shield with the symbol from his crest on his back.
His appearance wasn't the only thing that changed. He acted cold now, distant. Almost like all his emotions were gone. This was the hardest on Sora. Before he died, they had confessed their love for each other.
Sora could remember that night in Myotismon's castle quite clearly. She closed her eyes as the memory returned to her....
"Tai, why are you up?" Sora asked as she approached him.
"I couldn't sleep!"
The Digidestined had found a rather large shack with a couple of rooms. Matt and Gabumon were first watch, and stood in the room by the front door, the rest were in the second room, and Tai and Sora where in the last room, separated by a door.
"Tai," Sora said," You need some sleep! How are you supposed to lead us against Myotismon if you're sleepy?"
"What about you? Why aren't you asleep?"
"I'm supposed to relive Matt in a few minuets."
Tai just nodded. "Sora, I think we need to talk about us."
"What about us?"
"Where is our relationship going? What do we do after we beat Myotismon?"
"Izzy said that we'll all return to the Digiworld!"
"That's my point! How should we act with the others?"
"I don't know! Maybe we should practice kissing!"
"Huh?!"
She touched her lips to his. "That wasn't bad!"
Tai smiled. "Not bad yourself! Yawn!"
"Tai, you need some sleep!" she said as she laid down.
Tai reluctantly laid down next to her, and she placed her arm around his chest.
Matt quietly opened the door to the others. Where was Sora? She's supposed to relive him.
Looking in on the third room, he saw her sleeping next to Tai. He smiled, closed the door and went back to look out.
Sora peeked open her eyes. "I think that was Matt!" She started to get up.
"No, wait," Tai said," Could you stay a little longer?"
She felt her heart pound. "Sure!" She laid back against him. "I love you Tai!" she said.
"I love you," he said as he kissed her.
Their tongues danced across their lips as their passion exploded. Their lips parted. Sora began to take over her shirt. Tai stood mesmerized as he watched her undress. She then reached for his shirt, and started to take it off...
"Sora!" she heard Biyomon yell.
"What?" Sora asked as she snapped back to the present. When she looked around, she saw that she didn't need her digimon to answer her. Her friends were staring down a
group of humans with giant red R's on their shirts!
"What do you want and how did you get in the Digital World?" Tai asked.
A man with blue hair and a girl with wired red hair stepped forward. "We're here on official business from the one called Myotismon!"
"What for?" he asked, angerly.
"You'll soon find out, but here's a clue! He wants the Chosen! Prepare for trouble!" the girl said.
"And make it double!" the blue haired man said.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Team Rocket?" Matt asked.
"You're Pokemon thieves!" Joe said.
"Right!" James said," Koffing division, attack!"
A group of the humans threw out pokeballs and Koffings appeared. They ordered them to create a smoke screen.
The Digidestined became to cough. "Let's get them!" Tai said.
"Gabumon digivolve to Garurumon!"
"Biyomon digivolve to Birdramon!"
"Tentomon digivolve to Kabuterimon!"
"Palmon digivolve to Togemon!"
"Gomamon digivolve to Ikkakumon!"
"Salamon digivolve to Gatomon!"
Birdramon used her Meteor Wing attack and blew away the smoke to reveal a snake creature and a pink creature.
Jessie smiled. "Go, Arbok! Poison Sting!"
"Charbok!" it said as a stream of needles shot from its mouth.
"Ahh!" the kids and digimon cried in pain.
"Howling Blaster!" Garurumon cried as his ice beam froze Arbok.
"Go, Lickatung!"
"Licky!" the pink creature shot its tongue out and lapped the Digimon except for Patamon and Gatomon.
Those that were hit de-digivolved. "It took our energy," Tentomon said, weakly.
"Lightning Claw!" Gatomon cried.
"Boom Bubble!" Patamon yelled.
Lickatung fell over from their combined attacks.
"Ah! Help!" Joe yelled.
The Digidestined turn to see Joe and Gomamon being pulled away in a net.
"That's it!' Tai said as he pulled out his sword.
"Whezzing, Smog Attack!" James said, slyly.
A giant screen of smoke streamed out of its mouth. The kids coughed and when the smoke cleared Team Rocket was gone.
"They're gone!" Matt said,"and they took Joe and Gomamon with them!"
"How did other humans get here?" Mimi asked.
Tai slid his sword back in his sheath. "What's Myotismon up to now?"
"I can't answer you two," Izzy said," but I know someone who might be able to."
A cylinder of light suddenly appeared on the ground. "Speak of the devil!" Izzy said.
"Its nice to see you too!" Geni said,"Now kids, I have monitored several rips in the dimensional barrier! Almost like someone is passing through it!"
"Well, we just had a run in with other humans!" Sora said.
"Team Rocket!" Tai said,"They took Joe and Gomamon, too! They said they were working for Myotismon!"
"Well, that would explain the dimensional rips!" Geni replied," He has the energy from your digivices, which can open a hole in the barrier!"
"Now that we know who, how can we stop him?"
"I'm not sure, but I have found a series of prophecies dealing with Myotismon! Unfortunately, they are in no order! Almost like whoever wrote them, didn't record them in order!"
"What do they say?" Matt asked.
"Once talks about the future, a future ruled by Myotismon! A horrible future with him as the king of both worlds!"
"But how can we stop this?" Sora asked,"He's just to powerful!"
Geni nodded. "Indeed! You can't stop him, but a group called the Chosen might!"
"Team Rocket said something about the chosen!" T.K. said.
"Then Myotismon knows about them!"
"Who are they?" Kari asked.
"The scrolls the legends are written on state 'The Eleven Chosen will gather in the darkest hour, with two destinies! Savors of the Two Worlds, or the Right Hand of the Beast!' If Myotismon is the Beast, the Chosen might be able to destroy him!"
"Do you know their names?" Sora asked.
"I do not, but the scrolls give clues: 'Father returned from Death; Mother of the Greatest Power; One whose Mind is his greatest Weapon and Weakness; the Child of a Better Tomorrow; The Leader of Gold; The North Pole or the Power of the Greatest Light, A Nymph of Unknown Love; A Fighter of a Title; The One of Silver; The South Pole or the Power of the Unseen Fright; and a Pawn of Evil!' There is another one that is separated from those,'A Twelfth from the other world, the Father's Greatest Strength!' You will have to determine who each of these passages refers to!"
"Do those scrolls tell you anything else?" Tai asked.
"Well, they speak of Myotismon's army! A Water Warrior of Betrayal, A Defeated Warrior returned to the Beast, A Shelled Fighter, and the Last of the Original Four! They also talk of the unlocking of the crests!"
"What?" they all asked.
"It says that death shall make Courage stronger! That explains why you returned from the dead, Tai. You were supposed to! Death only made you stronger! I have yet to decipher the way to unlock the others! I have to be going now, good luck!"
"Well, what do we do know?" Mimi asked.
"We have to discover who these' Chosen' are!" Tai said," Any ideas?"
"Well," Izzy said,"The Leader of Gold may be you Tai!"
"No!" T.K. suddenly said,"Tai's the Father!"
"What?" Matt asked.
"Its true! It said that Father returned from the Dead! Tai did that! Besides, he acts like a dad!"
Izzy nodded. "Agreed! Well, that's one down!"
"Joe's probably one!" Sora said," After all, why would they take him if not?"
"Myotismon doesn't always acted like one would think!" Gatomon said.
"Well," Izzy said," A Nymph is a Water Spirit, Gomamon is a water Digimon, so maybe.."
"We can sit here and play guessing games all night, but the truth is, we'll probably never get them all and we still don't know why they took Joe!" Matt said.
Gatomon suddenly felt something prick her mind. "Gatomon!" she heard in her mind,"Gatomon this is Wizardmon! Help me!"
"Ahh!" she cried out loud,"Wizardmon! He's contacting me telepathically!"
"Are you sure?" Kari asked.
"Yes, he says he has information on the Chosen, but to hurry!"
Matt and Tai looked at each other. "It could be a trap!" Matt said.
"But we can't take the chance, can we? Myotismon may be trying to get the
Chosen, so he may know something we don't, but Wizardmon worked for him! He may know something!"
Gatomon nodded. "Yes! When the two of us went to get Kari's crest, he stole a bunch of papers from his coffin!"
"Do you know where he is?" Tai asked.
"Yes!"
"Then lead the way!"
Gatomon nodded and started to run deeper into the forest. The remaining kids ran after her, with Kari and Tai in the lead. After what seemed like hours, they finally reached the end of the forest. A dry field opened up in front of them. Gatomon didn't stop to catch her breath, she continued to run.
Eventually they reached a group of giant rocks spanning to both sides. "Whoa, I wonder where these came from?" Matt asked.
Gatomon climbed up them to peek over. "OH!" she cried.
The kids and their digimon climbed over to rocks. On the other side, they saw Wizardmon on his knees and hands with his left side to them. Gatomon ran up to him. "Wizardmon, what is it?"
He turned to face them. They gasped. Wizardmon's right side was transparent.
"Wha-what?" Gatomon sputtered.
"I'm...being..transported somewhere!"
"How can we help you?" Tai asked.
"There's...nothing...you...can ...do!" he coughed.
"Then why did you call us here?" Matt asked.
Wizardmon reached inside his pocket and pulled out a folded paper. He threw it to Gatomon. "Part..of..a..list...I stole...from..Myotismon! Has...some...possible...Chosen ones..on..it!" He collapsed to the ground.
"Wizardmon!" Gatomon yelled as her friend completely disappeared.
"Things are getting weirder and weirder!" Tentomon said.
Tai unfolded the list and read it over. "Well?" Mimi asked, impatiently.
"It's a list of names!"
"Possible Chosen ones," Izzy said.
Tai nodded. "It lists a few: Myself, Gary Oak, Saberleomon, Indigo Pokemon League Gym Leaders.."
"Gym Leaders?" Sora asked.
"But that's only possible ones!" Gabumon said,"It could be some of them, or none of them, or all of them!"
"But we have to take the chance that they are all members!" Biyomon said.
Tai nodded. "Here's what we're gonna do: Izzy, I want you to find a way to contact this 'Gary Oak' and the Gym Leaders! The rest of you, stay with him!"
"What about you?" Kari asked, concerned.
Tai looked up from the paper. "There is one more name on this list, I have to contact this last name. Someone I hoped I would never have to see again...MetalEtemon!"
Chapter 2:
MetalEtemon looked over his desert kingdom, the land on Server that Myotismon had given him. He watched his Gazimon running to and frow, doing his biding. His subjects were totally obedient. It would seem he had everything he wanted, but something was missing.
He felt it the day he returned from the vortex Metalgreymon had sent him in. Something in his heart, something deep in his soul. This sadness had spread to his mind, altering his speech. He no longer talked like an Elvis impersonator, but music was still one of his weapons. It almost felt like his very being was meant for something else, but he didn't know what.
One of the Gazimon ran up behind him. "Uh, excuse me, sir?"
"What is it?" Metaletemon asked, without turning around.
"Someone wants to speak to you!"
"Who?"
"One of the Digidestined!"
"I'll be right there!"
Tai stood outside Metaletemon's pyramid castle. It was strange to think that he was back here. His mind filled with the memory of Sora being taken prisoner by Datamon somewhere inside the castle.
Datamon flew against the wall. "Tough luck! Looks like I won again!" Etemon said.
"Its not over yet, monkey breath!" Datamon said. He flew over and grabbed Sora and Biyomon. "Just wait! With their powers harnessed to my own I'll be more than a match for you! Ha!"
He flew off with them. Tai, Izzy, and Joe ran after them. "Sora!" Tai yelled, full of worry.
"Tai!" Sora yelled back.
They ran to the fire wall. "The weak point was here, right?" Tai asked he started walking towards it.
Joe grabbed him. "What are you thinking?" Izzy asked. "That this is a video game! If anything happens here..."
"It happens there," Tai was weakly, "I..I can't move!"
The next thing Tai could remember was running to the fire wall guarding the room where Sora was being held. "I can break through it, Tai," Agumon said.
"No, if I don't do this on my own, right here, right now, I may never be able to do it! A man must face himself, before he can face his enemy!"
He pushed his hand through and his crest began to glow. He ran all the way through and saw Sora standing by Datamon. "Sora!" he yelled.
"That's not Sora!" Biyomon yelled from the wall, "That's just a copy!"
"Here Tai," Sora said strapped to a table.
Datamon yelled,"And now I will give her the crest and she will become the new Sora!"
Tai ran over and grabbed the crest. He ran to Sora just as the table fell out from under her. He grabbed her arm to keep her from falling. Datamon reached over and grabbed their arms. "And since I no longer have any use for the original, I'll destroy it!"
Tai felt the pain in his hand as Datamon began to crush it. "I'll never let go of her." he said, but they didn't hear him.
Tai wiped a tear from his face. Sora! Sora! He felt a strong feeling in his heart. Sora! His emotions were staring to return.
"Well, well, well, its you!"
Tai turned to see Metaletemon standing in the entrance to the pyramid. "Are you okay?"
Tai was surprised that he asked that. "Yeah, my emotions are just returning."
Metaletemon nodded. He was confused, but didn't press the subject. "Why are you here?"
Tai cleaned his face. "I have some urgent news!"
Gary Oak stood in the center of the Viridian Forest. He reached towards his belt and grabbed one of his pokeballs strapped there. He pressed the button on the front and the ball grew to his hand size. Pulling his hand back he threw it yelling," Go Jolteon!"
The ball hit the ground and opened. A yellow dog creature with spikes on it main appeared. "Jolteon!" he said.
Gary closed his eyes. He opened them quickly and yelled,"Thunder!"
A beam of lightning shot from the sky and hit Jolteon. He absorbed the energy and shoot it towards a tree. It exploded on contact with a hurricane of smoke.
After it cleared Gary smiled. A large portion of the forest was gone. "Good job, Jolteon! You're becoming so strong! Return!"
The Pokemon turned back to energy and jumped inside the pokeball. The sky turn black. "Well, I guess that's enough training for one day," he said as it began to rain.
He started to walk away, when he heard a noise from behind him. He turned around to see a circle of light appear a distance in the forest. It disappeared after something dropped through it.
"What the..." he said. He stared at the area of the light circle. He figured it was some sort of wired lightning, but something told him otherwise.
He turned around and walked straight into a man with long arms and wings. "Ahh!" he yelled.
"I am Devimon!" he said," and my master, Lord Myotismon requests your presence!"
Gary turned the other way and ran as fast as he could. He looked over his shoulder to see him flying towards him, faster and faster.
Gary's heart was pounding. He looked over his shoulder again, but didn't see him. "Maybe I lost him!" he thought. He looked forward to see Devimon standing there with his long arms crossed.
"There's no use running, I won't stop until I have you!"
"What do you want?!" Gary yelled.
"I want you!" Devimon reached forward with his arm.
"Alakazam, Go!" Gary yelled as he whipped out a pokeball."Alakazam, Psychic!"
"Kazam!" Alakazam said as a beam of psychic energy shot towards Devimon. He blocked it with his outstretched hands. "Nice try, but I've fought better! Compared to the Digidestined, you are nothing!"
"Digidestined?" Gary asked, slinking back. "What am I going to do? Wait, he's not using any Pokemon, so the regular rules don't apply!"
Gary grinned. He grabbed all his pokeballs and through them out. "Arcanine, Jolteon, Rhyhorn, go!"
All the Pokemon stood ready to battle. "Arcanine, Flamethrower! Jolteon, Thunder! Rhyhorn, Horn Drill! Alakazam, Psybeam!"
The Pokemon preformed their attacks at Devimon. He shot his hands out and blocked them. "Keep going!" Gary yelled.
Devimon started to lose feeling in his hands. "Ahh!" he yelled as the combined energy was too much for him. The energy encased him and exploded. When the smoke cleared, he was gone!
"I did it!" Gary said," I did it! I beat him!"
He recalled his Pokemon and started to walk towards Pallet Town, when his pokedex began to beep. "What now?" he asked, annoyed. The thing hand been acting weird lately and he was thinking of getting it replaced.
He opened the pokedex and on its digital screen he saw a human face. "Huh?"
The face began to talk. "Gary Oak?"
Gary nodded numbly.
"Good! My name is Izzy and we have to talk! Now, you might think this is a little weird, but.."
Gary smiled. "Compared to what I just saw, I don't think you'll sound too far out!"
"Myotismon," Metaletemon said,"I thought him dead!"
"The same has been said about the two of us!" Tai responded.
"I had heard rumors that you had died and been resurrected! These are true?"
Tai nodded. "Yes, they're true!"
"How did it happen?"
"I'd rather not talk about it!"
Metaletemon nodded. "Fair enough, now, about these Chosen.."
"Geni said they are from a legend that states we will gather, then we'll have one of two destines: savors, or Myotismon's followers! I supposed he's trying to get them because of the later."
"What do you mean?"
"Joe, Gomamon, and Wizardmon have been taken and they may be part of the Chosen!"
Metaletemon nodded. "'Father returned from Death', someone who came back to life!"
"That's me!" Tai said.
Metaletemon continued,"'Mother of the Greatest Power' a female with great strength! 'One whose Mind is his greatest Weapon and Weakness' maybe a thinker or a psychic' the Child of a Better Tomorrow; The Leader of Gold; The North Pole or the Power of the Greatest Light, A Nymph of Unknown Love; A Fighter of a Title; The One of Silver; The South Pole or the Power of the Unseen Fright; and a Pawn of Evil' I have no idea about those!"
"Don't worry about it!"
"However, from the passages, it seems like a wide variety of power, sought by someone who would lay waste to everything, but I wonder what would happen to his plan if I killed you now!"
"You're..serious!" Tai said, reaching for his sword.
"Just a last resort!" Metaletemon said, raising his hand," One I hope you would use on me if all else was lost, but let us hope it does not come to that! In the meanwhile, how may I be of assistance!"
Tai smiled.
Meanwhile, on a mountain top far in a blackened forest stood Myotismon's new castle. A evil castle.
Inside, Digitamimon walked down a long hallway with a stretcher behind him. The stretcher had a sheet sprawled over it, covering the body on it.
Digitamimon finally reached the end of the hallway and entered a room filled with giant machinerary. Almost like Frankenstein's laboratory.
"Do you have the Digimon?"
Digitamimon turned around to see Myotismon walked out from the shadows with two Digimon behind him. His new body still frightened him. "Yes," Digitamimon said," I have Saberleomon under this sheet! Now, what about my payment!"
Myotismon smiled. "Of course, Giovanni, see to his payment!"
The Digimon to Myotismon's left walked into the light. "You're not a Digimon!" Digitamimon said.
"That's right!" Giovanni said, as he shot him with a beam from a strange looking gun.
"Good work!" Myotismon said," Now, take Saberleomon to the holding cells, and Digitamimon to the machine!"
A few members of Team Rocket pushed the stretcher down another hallway, while other members followed Giovanni to a machine in the corner of the room.
"Is he going to be one of them?" the figure to Myotismon's right asked.
"Correct, Piedmon," Myotismon answered," but remember our deal! I would create three new Dark Masters for you in exchange for your services!"
Piedmon stepped into the light. "And with you soon to be ruler of both Earth and the Digiworld, it will be service well rendered!"
Myotismon laughed. "The pieces are falling into place exactly as foretold! HAHAHA!"
TO BE CONTINUED...
(See if you can guess whom each of the passages refers to! i.e. Father returned from Death, is Tai! E-mail me to see if you're right! They won't be explained until much,much later in the story!)
Part 2: Alliances Severed
For those of you who are wondering, in the first part, yes, Tai and Sora, did do, well, you know! For those of you who expressed conceren over the fact that two eleven-year-olds did that, I have a reason. This story takes place AFTER the end of the
first season! They are much older! Tai will explain more in this part! Enjoy! (Also, try and guese who the Chosen are!)
Chapter 1:
Tai walked silently across the field. He looked at the sky, it was getting dark.
"It's getting late, are we almost there?" his companion asked from behind him.
"If they didn't move since I left, we soon will be!"
Metaletemon just nodded. He was worried. Worried about joining the Digidestined, if only temporary. Tai certainly seemed to trust him, but he didn't know about the others.
They walked for a bit longer before they reached a familiar looking set of rocks. "Tai!" Kari cried, running up to her brother.
"Hi, Kari! I'm back everyone, and I've brought someone for dinner!"
Everyone looked confused until Metaletemon stepped into their view. Mimi hid behind Izzy, but because he was shorter then her, it didn't do much good. T.K. grabbed Matt's leg and Sora stood ready to attack.
"Greetings!" he said.
"Hi!" Kari said, walking right up to him,"Will you be staying for dinner? Unfortunately, all we have is vegetables and fruit! Is that okay?"
"Yeah, that be fine!" he said as Kari led him towards the fire. The others ran over to Tai.
"What are you thinking?" Matt yelled at him once they were out of Kari and Metaletemon's earshot."He could destroy us at any time!"
"Listen, Matt!" Tai yelled," I know what I'm doing! If I want your opinion, I'll ask for it, understand? I told him about the Chosen, and he wants to help, all right?"
"No Tai, its not all right!" Matt yelled back.
Sora stepped between them. "Tai, you look hungry, go eat dinner," she said, caringly.
"But.."
"No buts! Right now!" she said sternly.
Tai walked towards the fire as Sora turned to Matt, "Can't you ever trust him?"
Matt crossed his arms. "I wouldn't be here if I didn't!"
"Then act like it! I'm sure Tai's in control of this, okay?"
Matt looked away. "Fine!"
Sora turned to the others. "That goes for you too!"
"Yes, ma'am!" they said in unison. The kids walked back to the fire and sat down to eat. On one side was Metaletemon, Tai, Kari and Sora, the rest were on the other side facing them with their digimon. The rest of the evening was silent except for Izzy typing on his laptop.
When it was time for bed, Metaletemon offered to stand watch, but he was declined. Matt lied and told him that he was their guest. If Metaletemon knew it was a lie, he never said anything about it.
Matt was first on watch. His mind began to wander. He reluctantly decided to give Tai the benefit of the doubt. After all he was the leader. Everyone elected him to that position.
As he looked at the sky, he thought back to that day in Myotismon's castle....
They were standing in a huddle with the gateway to home in front of them. Someone had to lace nine out of ten cards in the slots that would open it. "You, Tai!" Joe said.
"Me?" Tai asked, surprised.
"Yeah, Tai, its your call!"
"Why me?"
"I'm not trying to put you on the spot or anything, we just think you're the best one!"
"Joe's right!" Matt said, "At times like these, decisions need to be made by the one in charge!"
"Are you nuts? Who made me leader?"
"Remember when you left? We fell apart without you around, and after all that, weren't you the one who manage to bring us all back together again? Remember what Geni said, we have to believe in our power, you believe, don't ya Tai?"
"Maybe."
"Come on! We've been through a lot of weird stuff already! If we hadn't stuck together, we never would have beaten Seadramon!"
"Or smashed Tyranamon!"
"Or saved Toy Town!" Mimi said.
"And I'd still be washing dishes in Vegimon's dinner if you hadn't saved me!" Joe said,"You can do it Tai!"
"You can do it, Tai!" everyone said.
Matt continued to frown. "What is it, Matt?" Gabumon asked.
"Its Tai! He was a good leader, but lately he's been losing it! All he seems to care about is defeating Myotismon!"
Suddenly, his digivice went off. "Trouble!" he said. He could make out five shadows in the forest. Three on the ground walking and two flying towards them.
"Guys, wake up!" Matt yelled.
"What is it?" Tai asked, grabbing his sword.
"There!" Matt pointed. One of the flying shadows landed near the other three, still hidden. The second flying shadow flew into the light.
"Piedmon!" they yelled.
"Yes, it is I!"
"What do you want?"
"I bring greetings from Myotismon!"
"You're working for him too?" Tai asked.
"Yes! He created for me new servants in exchange for our services! Now, straight from the scrolls, let me introduce myself, I am the Last of the Original Four!"
"The prophecy!" Izzy whispered.
"Now, the Shelled Warrior, Digitamimon!"
He walked into their view. "Next, the Fallen Fighter returned to the side of the Beast..."
"Oh no!" Gatomon said as Wizardmon walked into view.
"And lastly, a Water Warrior of Betrayal!"
"Joe and Gomamon!" they yelled as their friends walked into the light.
"The person whom that names refers to, is no more!" Joe said, flatly,"All that is left, is Master Myotismon's will!"
"What do we do now?" Sora whispered to Tai.
"Izzy, I want you to try and find out is they're acting under their own free will!"
"Okay," Izzy said, nervously. How could he do that?
"Now," Piedmon said,"It would be my greatest pleasure to crush you all, but I cannot! Lord Myotismon's will is that you are not mortally wounded for some of you may be the Chosen! You are to be tested! Dark Masters, attack!"
"Metaletemon, Sora, Biyomon, T.K. Patamon, you stay and protect Izzy!" Tai yelled," Kari and Gatomon, get Wizardmon, Matt and Gabumon, get Digitamimon, Mimi and Palmon, Joe's yours! Try not to hurt them! Piedmon is all mine!"
Kari stood and watched as Wizardmon used his Thunder Punch attack on his best friend, Gatomon. Gatomon jumped out of the way. "Wizardmon, please, try to remember!"
"Gabumon digivolve to Garurumon!"
"Garurmon digivolve to Weregarurmon!"
"Wolf Claw!" he yelled. His attack shot straight at Digitamimon, but his shell was closed. He lunged at Weregarurumon, knocking him over.
"Joe!" Mimi pleaded," Don't do this! Don't you remember us! We're your friends!"
"I have no friends! All I remember from my former existence was that I was the objects of jokes! None of you liked me! None of you! Now, my true friend, Gomamon will show you our new powers!"
"Gomamon digivolve to Ikkakumon!"
"Harpoon Torpedo!"
"Palmon digivolve to Togemon!"
She smashed the torpedo to dust. "I don't want to fight you, Ikkakumon, but I will if I have to!"
Tai and Piedmon were clashing swords. "I can't believe you'd sink so low as to join forces with that monster!" Tai said.
"We are all monsters!" Piedmon said, blocking Tai's thrust.
"You know what I mean!"
While the rest stood guard around Izzy, he typed faster in his laptop. "How are you going to do that, Izzy?" Sora asked.
"Well, I'm attempting to see if my digivice locates a virus type in the vicinity. If Joe and Gomamon changed sides, their digital programing would have changed. I've log into my digivice's programing and...bingo!"
"What have you found?"
"Well, according to this there are three virus digimon! Metaletemon, Piedmon, and Digitamimon! The others are being controlled somehow!"
Gatomon dodged another attack. "I'm sorry Wizardmon but I have to do this! Lightning Claw!"
"Magical Beam!" Wizardmon yelled, knocking Gatomon out cold. "Lord Piedmon, my target has been defeated!"
Digitamimon yelled,"Nightmare Syndrome!" A beam of black energy shot from the opening in his shell. It nailed Weregarurumon, casing him to de-digivolve back to Tsunomon. "My target is down as well!"
"Oh no!" Mimi thought. She knew that she would have to beat Joe now, but she couldn't. She saw Togemon land hard next to her. "Target three is defeated!" Ikkakumon said.
"Gatomon, Tsunomon, Togemon!" Tai said with horror. "That's it! You're going down, Piedmon!"
The phantom digimon flew into the sky. "Trump Sword!"
Tai held his palm up, "Courage Blast!"
Their two attacks clashed in the sky, causing an explosion. "You're fortunate that we cannot harm you!" Piedmon said,"Dark Masters! Let's go!"
The five new Dark Masters disappeared in a blast of light.
Chapter 2:
Gary Oak was nervous. So nervous in fact, he was sweating. He was standing behind a podium in a conference room facing a large group of people. These people were the Indigo Pokemon League Gym Leaders: Brock, Misty and her sisters, Lt. Surge, Erika, Sabrina, Koga, and Blaine. Seated with them was the Elite Four, Lance, Agatha, Loreli, and Bruno.
Gary had been trying for the past hour to get them to believe his story, but unfortunately, it wasn't going well.
"And you say this Pokemon attacked you?" Lance asked.
Gary sighed. "No, it wasn't a Pokemon, it was something called a Digimon! Someone called Izzy Izumi contacted me from a planet called the Digiworld! He said that he was a member of a team of kids called the Digidestined! They're job is to stop these evil digimon from invading our world! He said that one of those evil digimon, called Myotismon, was trying to capture members of a group called the Chosen! They found a
list which contained my name, as well as some of the Gym Leaders name's as well!"
Misty whispered to Brock. "What do you think?"
"I don't know!" Brock whispered back. "I can tell you one thing though, Gary is scared straight! Whatever he saw out there, I'm sure I don't want to see!"
"Do you honestly except us to believe that story?" Lance said, near to yelling. "What is the real reason that you're wasting our time?"
"If you saw what I saw, you'd believe me!" Gary said, turning away. "I guess I'm just wasting my time!"
He started to leave but stopped when he saw a familiar circle of glowing light appear in the center of the room. "That's it! That's what that Digimon came out of!" he yelled.
Devimon didn't exit this circle though, it was someone else, wearing a cape and a pointed hat. "What kind of Pokemon are you?" Lance asked.
"I am no pokemon, I am a Digimon! I am called Wizardmon!"
"Why are you here?" Gary asked. "Are you after me?"
"No, I am not! I seek another!" he said, turning to view the assemble people.
"Who?"
"Magical Beam!" Wizardmon yelled. His attack hit the ground and exploded. It through everyone across the floor in a mixture of smoke and concrete.
"Misty?" Brock yelled, trying in vain to find his friend.
The smoke cleared, and everyone saw Wizardmon near the portal, with someone over his shoulder. "Misty!" Brock yelled, running towards them.
Wizardmon held up his palm. "Thunder Bomb!" he yelled. The ball of energy hit Brock in the chest, causing him to fly backward. Wizardmon then turned around and jumped into the portal with Misty.
"Now do you believe me?" Gary asked.
Lance nodded. "What can we do?"
"Well, Izzy somehow converted my pokedex to a transporter! I can take myself and three others with me to this Digiworld! Once there, we'll meet up with the Digidestined!"
Lance nodded. "Bruno, I want you to go with them!"
The Fighting Pokemon Master nodded. "Do you have two others?" he asked Gary.
Gary looked at Brock, getting up from the floor. "I do!"
"She's what?" Ash yelled.
"I'm sorry, Ash," Brock said," I tried my best, but.."
"Its okay!" Ash said, calming down.
"Besides we have a plan!" Gary said," Bruno, Brock, and me are going to team up with these Digidestined! Come with us! We'll get her back!"
"All right!" Ash said,"Let's do it!"
"Okay!" Gary said, reaching for his Pokedex. Pressing a button on it, a circle appeared like the one Wizardmon used. "After you!" Gary said to Ash.
"Thank you!" Ash said, "I'm coming Misty!" He jumped in.
The Digidestined, plus Metaletemon sat around the campfire. They had no idea what to do. Three of their friends had were being controlled by their enemy, and they had no idea how to stop it.
"We have to do something!" Tai said.
"What though?" Sora asked.
"Maybe our digivices!" Izzy said,"They could drive the black gears out, remember?"
"I don't think so, not this time!" Matt said,"Remember when we fought the black gears, our digivices automatically went off when we were close to them! We were really close when we fought!"
"This is so depressing!" Mimi said, near to tears. She was taking this the hardest. She didn't want to tell anyone why though.
"Does this mean that Joe won't be our friend again?" T.K. asked Matt.
Matt didn't answer, which made T.K. start to cry softly.
"Don't do that, "Mimi said,"You're gonna make me cry."
"We're sure to fight them again!" Tai said,"We need a plan so that we don't hurt them!"
Metaletemon spoke up. "Well,...."
Suddenly, there was a bright light over the forest. "Are they back again?" Sora said, standing up.
"If it is, we'll get them before they have a chance to attack!" Tai said,"Let's go!"
The team followed him into the forest. The saw a group of fallen trees, and four figures. They saw the biggest one stand up and picked up the one wearing a red hat. The other two stood up by themselves. "Where are we?" the one with the read hat asked.
"You're in the Digiword!" Tai said,"Who are you?"
"Izzy?" one of them asked. "Its me, Gary!"
"Gary, you made it!" Izzy said.
"Gary?" Sora asked,"You're the one Izzy contacted!"
"That's right!" he nodded. "This is Ash, Brock, and Bruno! You guys must be the Digidestined!"
Tai nodded, shaking Ash's outstretched hand. After he introduced everyone he invited them back to camp. "We have much to discuss!" Tai said.
Sora suddenly clutched her stomach. "Excuse me!" she said, running deeper into the forest.
"Sora?" Tai asked, starting to run after her.
Mimi ran in front of him. "I'll go!" she said, running after her friend.
"I wonder what that was about?" Tai asked.
Sora lurched her head back. She tried with all her might, but it flew down again as she throw up once more. "Sora!" Mimi cried, running to her side.
Sora panted, and throw up again. "Okay, I think I'm done!" she said, sitting down.
Mimi sat next to her, and started to rub her best friend's back. "How are you feeling?"
"Tired!" Sora yawned. "I try to keep up my perfect front, but I think that sooner or later, Tai will catch on that something's wrong!"
Mimi nodded. Then she brought something up even though she knew what the response will be. "You have to tell him!"
"We've been through this before! I can't! How can I tell him that I'm... That he's..."
"I can only guess at how you feel, but you can't keep it a secret forever! You're body will betray your lies soon!"
"I know! I know! I'll think of something later, but I think we should get back!"
"Are you okay?" Tai asked, extremely concerned when Sora and Mimi came back.
"Yeah, I'm fine, must have been those berries I ate!" Sora said with a chuckle.
"Sora," Tai said,"I want to apologize for the way I was treating you these last few months."
"What do you mean?" Sora asked, wondering what he was getting at.
"The way I was ignoring you, like I didn't care, but it was because I didn't have any emotions! When I was resurrected, it took a bit of time for my emotions to return, but they're back now. They returned when I was thinking of you!"
Sora started to blush. She looked at Mimi. "Tai, I have something I need to tell you in private! Can I tell you later?"
Tai nodded. "Sure!" Turning to the others he said,"Now, we've got to decided what to do!"
"We have to get Misty back!" Ash said.
"Pika!" his Pikachu said.
"We will!" Matt said,"But we need a way to definitely know who the Chosen are before we do anything!"
"I might be able to help you on that!" a voice said.
"Geni!" the Digidestined said.
As usual, the familiar cylinder of light appeared. "Greetings, and welcome to the Digiworld, Ash, Gary, Bruno, and Brock!"
Bruno leaned to Izzy. "Is that the guy you were talking about?"
Izzy nodded. "Geni, what do you mean?"
"Well, there is an ancient book called the Digi Book! It is rumored to hold to secrets of the Digiworld! It might contain the names of the Chosen!"
"All right!" Tai said,"Where is it?"
"I'm downloading Izzy a map of its location! But be careful! Myotismon is sure to know of the book and no doubt is looking for it now! Good luck, I'll contact you in a few days!"
After the light disappeared, Tai turned to the group. "Okay, Izzy, do you have it?"
Izzy nodded.
"Great!" Tai said,"First thing tomorrow, we'll go!"
"No!" Matt said,"What if he already has the book? Then going after it will just be a waste of time!"
"Oh really?" Tai said, challenging him. "We can't just not go after it! If we can locate the Chosen first, then Myotismon won't have a chance!"
"Tai, I think you need a break!" Matt said.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that lately you only think about destroying Myotismon! Maybe you should step down and.."
"What's this about?" Tai asked. "Are you trying to say that you don't want me as leader anymore? Is that it?"
"Yes, Tai!" Matt said,"We were talking, and that's what we agreed on!"
"Fine!" Tai said, throwing his hands in the air. "But I'm going to get that book, with or without your help!"
"I'll come with you!" Kari said, walking towards her brother. Tai turned to Izzy, "Please download the map Geni gave up onto Kari's digivice!"
Izzy hesitated, then did as he was told. Tai, Kari, and Gatomon started to walk away when Metaletemon said,"Wait for me! I'll go with you!"
"Anyone else?" Tai asked, his eyes lingering on Sora.
Ash looked at Brock, then Gary, then Bruno. "What should we do?"
Gary said,"We should try to get the one behind this, not try to find some book!"
"I agree!" Bruno said.
"No!" Ash said,"We should try to gather our forces! I'm going with him!" He turned and joined Tai's side.
"Me too!" Brock said.
Tai continued to look at Sora. "I'll go," she said.
"Big surprise there!" Matt said.
"Shut up, Matt!" Tai yelled,"You can pick on me all you want, but don't you dare pick on her!"
"Oh yeah Tai! Well if you weren't such a coward, then maybe we'd could settle this!"
Tai looked like he was about to exploded, then he raised his hands. "No! This is exactly what Myotismon wants! Us fighting among each other! We're parting ways right now! Maybe we'll meet again for the final battle! Good bye!"
Kari gave T.K. a farewell glance, as did Sora and Mimi. Then as Tai's team walked away, somewhere in the distance, evil laughter was heard.

Part 1: Prophecies
Chapter one:
The Digidestined were seated around a campfire centered in a clearing in the forest. The Warrior of Love, Sora, looked at the man she loved. He was sitting on a log, with his back against a tree, facing the fire. His name was Tai Kamiya, but that was before he died, in a battle with Myotismon. Now, both he and Myotismon were back.
He didn't even look the same. His nest of brown hair had become short white hair. He no longer wore goggles. Instead of shorts, he wore silver pants. He wore a sword and a shield with the symbol from his crest on his back.
His appearance wasn't the only thing that changed. He acted cold now, distant. Almost like all his emotions were gone. This was the hardest on Sora. Before he died, they had confessed their love for each other.
Sora could remember that night in Myotismon's castle quite clearly. She closed her eyes as the memory returned to her....
"Tai, why are you up?" Sora asked as she approached him.
"I couldn't sleep!"
The Digidestined had found a rather large shack with a couple of rooms. Matt and Gabumon were first watch, and stood in the room by the front door, the rest were in the second room, and Tai and Sora where in the last room, separated by a door.
"Tai," Sora said," You need some sleep! How are you supposed to lead us against Myotismon if you're sleepy?"
"What about you? Why aren't you asleep?"
"I'm supposed to relive Matt in a few minuets."
Tai just nodded. "Sora, I think we need to talk about us."
"What about us?"
"Where is our relationship going? What do we do after we beat Myotismon?"
"Izzy said that we'll all return to the Digiworld!"
"That's my point! How should we act with the others?"
"I don't know! Maybe we should practice kissing!"
"Huh?!"
She touched her lips to his. "That wasn't bad!"
Tai smiled. "Not bad yourself! Yawn!"
"Tai, you need some sleep!" she said as she laid down.
Tai reluctantly laid down next to her, and she placed her arm around his chest.
Matt quietly opened the door to the others. Where was Sora? She's supposed to relive him.
Looking in on the third room, he saw her sleeping next to Tai. He smiled, closed the door and went back to look out.
Sora peeked open her eyes. "I think that was Matt!" She started to get up.
"No, wait," Tai said," Could you stay a little longer?"
She felt her heart pound. "Sure!" She laid back against him. "I love you Tai!" she said.
"I love you," he said as he kissed her.
Their tongues danced across their lips as their passion exploded. Their lips parted. Sora began to take over her shirt. Tai stood mesmerized as he watched her undress. She then reached for his shirt, and started to take it off...
"Sora!" she heard Biyomon yell.
"What?" Sora asked as she snapped back to the present. When she looked around, she saw that she didn't need her digimon to answer her. Her friends were staring down a
group of humans with giant red R's on their shirts!
"What do you want and how did you get in the Digital World?" Tai asked.
A man with blue hair and a girl with wired red hair stepped forward. "We're here on official business from the one called Myotismon!"
"What for?" he asked, angerly.
"You'll soon find out, but here's a clue! He wants the Chosen! Prepare for trouble!" the girl said.
"And make it double!" the blue haired man said.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Team Rocket?" Matt asked.
"You're Pokemon thieves!" Joe said.
"Right!" James said," Koffing division, attack!"
A group of the humans threw out pokeballs and Koffings appeared. They ordered them to create a smoke screen.
The Digidestined became to cough. "Let's get them!" Tai said.
"Gabumon digivolve to Garurumon!"
"Biyomon digivolve to Birdramon!"
"Tentomon digivolve to Kabuterimon!"
"Palmon digivolve to Togemon!"
"Gomamon digivolve to Ikkakumon!"
"Salamon digivolve to Gatomon!"
Birdramon used her Meteor Wing attack and blew away the smoke to reveal a snake creature and a pink creature.
Jessie smiled. "Go, Arbok! Poison Sting!"
"Charbok!" it said as a stream of needles shot from its mouth.
"Ahh!" the kids and digimon cried in pain.
"Howling Blaster!" Garurumon cried as his ice beam froze Arbok.
"Go, Lickatung!"
"Licky!" the pink creature shot its tongue out and lapped the Digimon except for Patamon and Gatomon.
Those that were hit de-digivolved. "It took our energy," Tentomon said, weakly.
"Lightning Claw!" Gatomon cried.
"Boom Bubble!" Patamon yelled.
Lickatung fell over from their combined attacks.
"Ah! Help!" Joe yelled.
The Digidestined turn to see Joe and Gomamon being pulled away in a net.
"That's it!' Tai said as he pulled out his sword.
"Whezzing, Smog Attack!" James said, slyly.
A giant screen of smoke streamed out of its mouth. The kids coughed and when the smoke cleared Team Rocket was gone.
"They're gone!" Matt said,"and they took Joe and Gomamon with them!"
"How did other humans get here?" Mimi asked.
Tai slid his sword back in his sheath. "What's Myotismon up to now?"
"I can't answer you two," Izzy said," but I know someone who might be able to."
A cylinder of light suddenly appeared on the ground. "Speak of the devil!" Izzy said.
"Its nice to see you too!" Geni said,"Now kids, I have monitored several rips in the dimensional barrier! Almost like someone is passing through it!"
"Well, we just had a run in with other humans!" Sora said.
"Team Rocket!" Tai said,"They took Joe and Gomamon, too! They said they were working for Myotismon!"
"Well, that would explain the dimensional rips!" Geni replied," He has the energy from your digivices, which can open a hole in the barrier!"
"Now that we know who, how can we stop him?"
"I'm not sure, but I have found a series of prophecies dealing with Myotismon! Unfortunately, they are in no order! Almost like whoever wrote them, didn't record them in order!"
"What do they say?" Matt asked.
"Once talks about the future, a future ruled by Myotismon! A horrible future with him as the king of both worlds!"
"But how can we stop this?" Sora asked,"He's just to powerful!"
Geni nodded. "Indeed! You can't stop him, but a group called the Chosen might!"
"Team Rocket said something about the chosen!" T.K. said.
"Then Myotismon knows about them!"
"Who are they?" Kari asked.
"The scrolls the legends are written on state 'The Eleven Chosen will gather in the darkest hour, with two destinies! Savors of the Two Worlds, or the Right Hand of the Beast!' If Myotismon is the Beast, the Chosen might be able to destroy him!"
"Do you know their names?" Sora asked.
"I do not, but the scrolls give clues: 'Father returned from Death; Mother of the Greatest Power; One whose Mind is his greatest Weapon and Weakness; the Child of a Better Tomorrow; The Leader of Gold; The North Pole or the Power of the Greatest Light, A Nymph of Unknown Love; A Fighter of a Title; The One of Silver; The South Pole or the Power of the Unseen Fright; and a Pawn of Evil!' There is another one that is separated from those,'A Twelfth from the other world, the Father's Greatest Strength!' You will have to determine who each of these passages refers to!"
"Do those scrolls tell you anything else?" Tai asked.
"Well, they speak of Myotismon's army! A Water Warrior of Betrayal, A Defeated Warrior returned to the Beast, A Shelled Fighter, and the Last of the Original Four! They also talk of the unlocking of the crests!"
"What?" they all asked.
"It says that death shall make Courage stronger! That explains why you returned from the dead, Tai. You were supposed to! Death only made you stronger! I have yet to decipher the way to unlock the others! I have to be going now, good luck!"
"Well, what do we do know?" Mimi asked.
"We have to discover who these' Chosen' are!" Tai said," Any ideas?"
"Well," Izzy said,"The Leader of Gold may be you Tai!"
"No!" T.K. suddenly said,"Tai's the Father!"
"What?" Matt asked.
"Its true! It said that Father returned from the Dead! Tai did that! Besides, he acts like a dad!"
Izzy nodded. "Agreed! Well, that's one down!"
"Joe's probably one!" Sora said," After all, why would they take him if not?"
"Myotismon doesn't always acted like one would think!" Gatomon said.
"Well," Izzy said," A Nymph is a Water Spirit, Gomamon is a water Digimon, so maybe.."
"We can sit here and play guessing games all night, but the truth is, we'll probably never get them all and we still don't know why they took Joe!" Matt said.
Gatomon suddenly felt something prick her mind. "Gatomon!" she heard in her mind,"Gatomon this is Wizardmon! Help me!"
"Ahh!" she cried out loud,"Wizardmon! He's contacting me telepathically!"
"Are you sure?" Kari asked.
"Yes, he says he has information on the Chosen, but to hurry!"
Matt and Tai looked at each other. "It could be a trap!" Matt said.
"But we can't take the chance, can we? Myotismon may be trying to get the
Chosen, so he may know something we don't, but Wizardmon worked for him! He may know something!"
Gatomon nodded. "Yes! When the two of us went to get Kari's crest, he stole a bunch of papers from his coffin!"
"Do you know where he is?" Tai asked.
"Yes!"
"Then lead the way!"
Gatomon nodded and started to run deeper into the forest. The remaining kids ran after her, with Kari and Tai in the lead. After what seemed like hours, they finally reached the end of the forest. A dry field opened up in front of them. Gatomon didn't stop to catch her breath, she continued to run.
Eventually they reached a group of giant rocks spanning to both sides. "Whoa, I wonder where these came from?" Matt asked.
Gatomon climbed up them to peek over. "OH!" she cried.
The kids and their digimon climbed over to rocks. On the other side, they saw Wizardmon on his knees and hands with his left side to them. Gatomon ran up to him. "Wizardmon, what is it?"
He turned to face them. They gasped. Wizardmon's right side was transparent.
"Wha-what?" Gatomon sputtered.
"I'm...being..transported somewhere!"
"How can we help you?" Tai asked.
"There's...nothing...you...can ...do!" he coughed.
"Then why did you call us here?" Matt asked.
Wizardmon reached inside his pocket and pulled out a folded paper. He threw it to Gatomon. "Part..of..a..list...I stole...from..Myotismon! Has...some...possible...Chosen ones..on..it!" He collapsed to the ground.
"Wizardmon!" Gatomon yelled as her friend completely disappeared.
"Things are getting weirder and weirder!" Tentomon said.
Tai unfolded the list and read it over. "Well?" Mimi asked, impatiently.
"It's a list of names!"
"Possible Chosen ones," Izzy said.
Tai nodded. "It lists a few: Myself, Gary Oak, Saberleomon, Indigo Pokemon League Gym Leaders.."
"Gym Leaders?" Sora asked.
"But that's only possible ones!" Gabumon said,"It could be some of them, or none of them, or all of them!"
"But we have to take the chance that they are all members!" Biyomon said.
Tai nodded. "Here's what we're gonna do: Izzy, I want you to find a way to contact this 'Gary Oak' and the Gym Leaders! The rest of you, stay with him!"
"What about you?" Kari asked, concerned.
Tai looked up from the paper. "There is one more name on this list, I have to contact this last name. Someone I hoped I would never have to see again...MetalEtemon!"
Chapter 2:
MetalEtemon looked over his desert kingdom, the land on Server that Myotismon had given him. He watched his Gazimon running to and frow, doing his biding. His subjects were totally obedient. It would seem he had everything he wanted, but something was missing.
He felt it the day he returned from the vortex Metalgreymon had sent him in. Something in his heart, something deep in his soul. This sadness had spread to his mind, altering his speech. He no longer talked like an Elvis impersonator, but music was still one of his weapons. It almost felt like his very being was meant for something else, but he didn't know what.
One of the Gazimon ran up behind him. "Uh, excuse me, sir?"
"What is it?" Metaletemon asked, without turning around.
"Someone wants to speak to you!"
"Who?"
"One of the Digidestined!"
"I'll be right there!"
Tai stood outside Metaletemon's pyramid castle. It was strange to think that he was back here. His mind filled with the memory of Sora being taken prisoner by Datamon somewhere inside the castle.
Datamon flew against the wall. "Tough luck! Looks like I won again!" Etemon said.
"Its not over yet, monkey breath!" Datamon said. He flew over and grabbed Sora and Biyomon. "Just wait! With their powers harnessed to my own I'll be more than a match for you! Ha!"
He flew off with them. Tai, Izzy, and Joe ran after them. "Sora!" Tai yelled, full of worry.
"Tai!" Sora yelled back.
They ran to the fire wall. "The weak point was here, right?" Tai asked he started walking towards it.
Joe grabbed him. "What are you thinking?" Izzy asked. "That this is a video game! If anything happens here..."
"It happens there," Tai was weakly, "I..I can't move!"
The next thing Tai could remember was running to the fire wall guarding the room where Sora was being held. "I can break through it, Tai," Agumon said.
"No, if I don't do this on my own, right here, right now, I may never be able to do it! A man must face himself, before he can face his enemy!"
He pushed his hand through and his crest began to glow. He ran all the way through and saw Sora standing by Datamon. "Sora!" he yelled.
"That's not Sora!" Biyomon yelled from the wall, "That's just a copy!"
"Here Tai," Sora said strapped to a table.
Datamon yelled,"And now I will give her the crest and she will become the new Sora!"
Tai ran over and grabbed the crest. He ran to Sora just as the table fell out from under her. He grabbed her arm to keep her from falling. Datamon reached over and grabbed their arms. "And since I no longer have any use for the original, I'll destroy it!"
Tai felt the pain in his hand as Datamon began to crush it. "I'll never let go of her." he said, but they didn't hear him.
Tai wiped a tear from his face. Sora! Sora! He felt a strong feeling in his heart. Sora! His emotions were staring to return.
"Well, well, well, its you!"
Tai turned to see Metaletemon standing in the entrance to the pyramid. "Are you okay?"
Tai was surprised that he asked that. "Yeah, my emotions are just returning."
Metaletemon nodded. He was confused, but didn't press the subject. "Why are you here?"
Tai cleaned his face. "I have some urgent news!"
Gary Oak stood in the center of the Viridian Forest. He reached towards his belt and grabbed one of his pokeballs strapped there. He pressed the button on the front and the ball grew to his hand size. Pulling his hand back he threw it yelling," Go Jolteon!"
The ball hit the ground and opened. A yellow dog creature with spikes on it main appeared. "Jolteon!" he said.
Gary closed his eyes. He opened them quickly and yelled,"Thunder!"
A beam of lightning shot from the sky and hit Jolteon. He absorbed the energy and shoot it towards a tree. It exploded on contact with a hurricane of smoke.
After it cleared Gary smiled. A large portion of the forest was gone. "Good job, Jolteon! You're becoming so strong! Return!"
The Pokemon turned back to energy and jumped inside the pokeball. The sky turn black. "Well, I guess that's enough training for one day," he said as it began to rain.
He started to walk away, when he heard a noise from behind him. He turned around to see a circle of light appear a distance in the forest. It disappeared after something dropped through it.
"What the..." he said. He stared at the area of the light circle. He figured it was some sort of wired lightning, but something told him otherwise.
He turned around and walked straight into a man with long arms and wings. "Ahh!" he yelled.
"I am Devimon!" he said," and my master, Lord Myotismon requests your presence!"
Gary turned the other way and ran as fast as he could. He looked over his shoulder to see him flying towards him, faster and faster.
Gary's heart was pounding. He looked over his shoulder again, but didn't see him. "Maybe I lost him!" he thought. He looked forward to see Devimon standing there with his long arms crossed.
"There's no use running, I won't stop until I have you!"
"What do you want?!" Gary yelled.
"I want you!" Devimon reached forward with his arm.
"Alakazam, Go!" Gary yelled as he whipped out a pokeball."Alakazam, Psychic!"
"Kazam!" Alakazam said as a beam of psychic energy shot towards Devimon. He blocked it with his outstretched hands. "Nice try, but I've fought better! Compared to the Digidestined, you are nothing!"
"Digidestined?" Gary asked, slinking back. "What am I going to do? Wait, he's not using any Pokemon, so the regular rules don't apply!"
Gary grinned. He grabbed all his pokeballs and through them out. "Arcanine, Jolteon, Rhyhorn, go!"
All the Pokemon stood ready to battle. "Arcanine, Flamethrower! Jolteon, Thunder! Rhyhorn, Horn Drill! Alakazam, Psybeam!"
The Pokemon preformed their attacks at Devimon. He shot his hands out and blocked them. "Keep going!" Gary yelled.
Devimon started to lose feeling in his hands. "Ahh!" he yelled as the combined energy was too much for him. The energy encased him and exploded. When the smoke cleared, he was gone!
"I did it!" Gary said," I did it! I beat him!"
He recalled his Pokemon and started to walk towards Pallet Town, when his pokedex began to beep. "What now?" he asked, annoyed. The thing hand been acting weird lately and he was thinking of getting it replaced.
He opened the pokedex and on its digital screen he saw a human face. "Huh?"
The face began to talk. "Gary Oak?"
Gary nodded numbly.
"Good! My name is Izzy and we have to talk! Now, you might think this is a little weird, but.."
Gary smiled. "Compared to what I just saw, I don't think you'll sound too far out!"
"Myotismon," Metaletemon said,"I thought him dead!"
"The same has been said about the two of us!" Tai responded.
"I had heard rumors that you had died and been resurrected! These are true?"
Tai nodded. "Yes, they're true!"
"How did it happen?"
"I'd rather not talk about it!"
Metaletemon nodded. "Fair enough, now, about these Chosen.."
"Geni said they are from a legend that states we will gather, then we'll have one of two destines: savors, or Myotismon's followers! I supposed he's trying to get them because of the later."
"What do you mean?"
"Joe, Gomamon, and Wizardmon have been taken and they may be part of the Chosen!"
Metaletemon nodded. "'Father returned from Death', someone who came back to life!"
"That's me!" Tai said.
Metaletemon continued,"'Mother of the Greatest Power' a female with great strength! 'One whose Mind is his greatest Weapon and Weakness' maybe a thinker or a psychic' the Child of a Better Tomorrow; The Leader of Gold; The North Pole or the Power of the Greatest Light, A Nymph of Unknown Love; A Fighter of a Title; The One of Silver; The South Pole or the Power of the Unseen Fright; and a Pawn of Evil' I have no idea about those!"
"Don't worry about it!"
"However, from the passages, it seems like a wide variety of power, sought by someone who would lay waste to everything, but I wonder what would happen to his plan if I killed you now!"
"You're..serious!" Tai said, reaching for his sword.
"Just a last resort!" Metaletemon said, raising his hand," One I hope you would use on me if all else was lost, but let us hope it does not come to that! In the meanwhile, how may I be of assistance!"
Tai smiled.
Meanwhile, on a mountain top far in a blackened forest stood Myotismon's new castle. A evil castle.
Inside, Digitamimon walked down a long hallway with a stretcher behind him. The stretcher had a sheet sprawled over it, covering the body on it.
Digitamimon finally reached the end of the hallway and entered a room filled with giant machinerary. Almost like Frankenstein's laboratory.
"Do you have the Digimon?"
Digitamimon turned around to see Myotismon walked out from the shadows with two Digimon behind him. His new body still frightened him. "Yes," Digitamimon said," I have Saberleomon under this sheet! Now, what about my payment!"
Myotismon smiled. "Of course, Giovanni, see to his payment!"
The Digimon to Myotismon's left walked into the light. "You're not a Digimon!" Digitamimon said.
"That's right!" Giovanni said, as he shot him with a beam from a strange looking gun.
"Good work!" Myotismon said," Now, take Saberleomon to the holding cells, and Digitamimon to the machine!"
A few members of Team Rocket pushed the stretcher down another hallway, while other members followed Giovanni to a machine in the corner of the room.
"Is he going to be one of them?" the figure to Myotismon's right asked.
"Correct, Piedmon," Myotismon answered," but remember our deal! I would create three new Dark Masters for you in exchange for your services!"
Piedmon stepped into the light. "And with you soon to be ruler of both Earth and the Digiworld, it will be service well rendered!"
Myotismon laughed. "The pieces are falling into place exactly as foretold! HAHAHA!"
TO BE CONTINUED...
(See if you can guess whom each of the passages refers to! i.e. Father returned from Death, is Tai! E-mail me to see if you're right! They won't be explained until much,much later in the story!)
Part 2: Alliances Severed
For those of you who are wondering, in the first part, yes, Tai and Sora, did do, well, you know! For those of you who expressed conceren over the fact that two eleven-year-olds did that, I have a reason. This story takes place AFTER the end of the
first season! They are much older! Tai will explain more in this part! Enjoy! (Also, try and guese who the Chosen are!)
Chapter 1:
Tai walked silently across the field. He looked at the sky, it was getting dark.
"It's getting late, are we almost there?" his companion asked from behind him.
"If they didn't move since I left, we soon will be!"
Metaletemon just nodded. He was worried. Worried about joining the Digidestined, if only temporary. Tai certainly seemed to trust him, but he didn't know about the others.
They walked for a bit longer before they reached a familiar looking set of rocks. "Tai!" Kari cried, running up to her brother.
"Hi, Kari! I'm back everyone, and I've brought someone for dinner!"
Everyone looked confused until Metaletemon stepped into their view. Mimi hid behind Izzy, but because he was shorter then her, it didn't do much good. T.K. grabbed Matt's leg and Sora stood ready to attack.
"Greetings!" he said.
"Hi!" Kari said, walking right up to him,"Will you be staying for dinner? Unfortunately, all we have is vegetables and fruit! Is that okay?"
"Yeah, that be fine!" he said as Kari led him towards the fire. The others ran over to Tai.
"What are you thinking?" Matt yelled at him once they were out of Kari and Metaletemon's earshot."He could destroy us at any time!"
"Listen, Matt!" Tai yelled," I know what I'm doing! If I want your opinion, I'll ask for it, understand? I told him about the Chosen, and he wants to help, all right?"
"No Tai, its not all right!" Matt yelled back.
Sora stepped between them. "Tai, you look hungry, go eat dinner," she said, caringly.
"But.."
"No buts! Right now!" she said sternly.
Tai walked towards the fire as Sora turned to Matt, "Can't you ever trust him?"
Matt crossed his arms. "I wouldn't be here if I didn't!"
"Then act like it! I'm sure Tai's in control of this, okay?"
Matt looked away. "Fine!"
Sora turned to the others. "That goes for you too!"
"Yes, ma'am!" they said in unison. The kids walked back to the fire and sat down to eat. On one side was Metaletemon, Tai, Kari and Sora, the rest were on the other side facing them with their digimon. The rest of the evening was silent except for Izzy typing on his laptop.
When it was time for bed, Metaletemon offered to stand watch, but he was declined. Matt lied and told him that he was their guest. If Metaletemon knew it was a lie, he never said anything about it.
Matt was first on watch. His mind began to wander. He reluctantly decided to give Tai the benefit of the doubt. After all he was the leader. Everyone elected him to that position.
As he looked at the sky, he thought back to that day in Myotismon's castle....
They were standing in a huddle with the gateway to home in front of them. Someone had to lace nine out of ten cards in the slots that would open it. "You, Tai!" Joe said.
"Me?" Tai asked, surprised.
"Yeah, Tai, its your call!"
"Why me?"
"I'm not trying to put you on the spot or anything, we just think you're the best one!"
"Joe's right!" Matt said, "At times like these, decisions need to be made by the one in charge!"
"Are you nuts? Who made me leader?"
"Remember when you left? We fell apart without you around, and after all that, weren't you the one who manage to bring us all back together again? Remember what Geni said, we have to believe in our power, you believe, don't ya Tai?"
"Maybe."
"Come on! We've been through a lot of weird stuff already! If we hadn't stuck together, we never would have beaten Seadramon!"
"Or smashed Tyranamon!"
"Or saved Toy Town!" Mimi said.
"And I'd still be washing dishes in Vegimon's dinner if you hadn't saved me!" Joe said,"You can do it Tai!"
"You can do it, Tai!" everyone said.
Matt continued to frown. "What is it, Matt?" Gabumon asked.
"Its Tai! He was a good leader, but lately he's been losing it! All he seems to care about is defeating Myotismon!"
Suddenly, his digivice went off. "Trouble!" he said. He could make out five shadows in the forest. Three on the ground walking and two flying towards them.
"Guys, wake up!" Matt yelled.
"What is it?" Tai asked, grabbing his sword.
"There!" Matt pointed. One of the flying shadows landed near the other three, still hidden. The second flying shadow flew into the light.
"Piedmon!" they yelled.
"Yes, it is I!"
"What do you want?"
"I bring greetings from Myotismon!"
"You're working for him too?" Tai asked.
"Yes! He created for me new servants in exchange for our services! Now, straight from the scrolls, let me introduce myself, I am the Last of the Original Four!"
"The prophecy!" Izzy whispered.
"Now, the Shelled Warrior, Digitamimon!"
He walked into their view. "Next, the Fallen Fighter returned to the side of the Beast..."
"Oh no!" Gatomon said as Wizardmon walked into view.
"And lastly, a Water Warrior of Betrayal!"
"Joe and Gomamon!" they yelled as their friends walked into the light.
"The person whom that names refers to, is no more!" Joe said, flatly,"All that is left, is Master Myotismon's will!"
"What do we do now?" Sora whispered to Tai.
"Izzy, I want you to try and find out is they're acting under their own free will!"
"Okay," Izzy said, nervously. How could he do that?
"Now," Piedmon said,"It would be my greatest pleasure to crush you all, but I cannot! Lord Myotismon's will is that you are not mortally wounded for some of you may be the Chosen! You are to be tested! Dark Masters, attack!"
"Metaletemon, Sora, Biyomon, T.K. Patamon, you stay and protect Izzy!" Tai yelled," Kari and Gatomon, get Wizardmon, Matt and Gabumon, get Digitamimon, Mimi and Palmon, Joe's yours! Try not to hurt them! Piedmon is all mine!"
Kari stood and watched as Wizardmon used his Thunder Punch attack on his best friend, Gatomon. Gatomon jumped out of the way. "Wizardmon, please, try to remember!"
"Gabumon digivolve to Garurumon!"
"Garurmon digivolve to Weregarurmon!"
"Wolf Claw!" he yelled. His attack shot straight at Digitamimon, but his shell was closed. He lunged at Weregarurumon, knocking him over.
"Joe!" Mimi pleaded," Don't do this! Don't you remember us! We're your friends!"
"I have no friends! All I remember from my former existence was that I was the objects of jokes! None of you liked me! None of you! Now, my true friend, Gomamon will show you our new powers!"
"Gomamon digivolve to Ikkakumon!"
"Harpoon Torpedo!"
"Palmon digivolve to Togemon!"
She smashed the torpedo to dust. "I don't want to fight you, Ikkakumon, but I will if I have to!"
Tai and Piedmon were clashing swords. "I can't believe you'd sink so low as to join forces with that monster!" Tai said.
"We are all monsters!" Piedmon said, blocking Tai's thrust.
"You know what I mean!"
While the rest stood guard around Izzy, he typed faster in his laptop. "How are you going to do that, Izzy?" Sora asked.
"Well, I'm attempting to see if my digivice locates a virus type in the vicinity. If Joe and Gomamon changed sides, their digital programing would have changed. I've log into my digivice's programing and...bingo!"
"What have you found?"
"Well, according to this there are three virus digimon! Metaletemon, Piedmon, and Digitamimon! The others are being controlled somehow!"
Gatomon dodged another attack. "I'm sorry Wizardmon but I have to do this! Lightning Claw!"
"Magical Beam!" Wizardmon yelled, knocking Gatomon out cold. "Lord Piedmon, my target has been defeated!"
Digitamimon yelled,"Nightmare Syndrome!" A beam of black energy shot from the opening in his shell. It nailed Weregarurumon, casing him to de-digivolve back to Tsunomon. "My target is down as well!"
"Oh no!" Mimi thought. She knew that she would have to beat Joe now, but she couldn't. She saw Togemon land hard next to her. "Target three is defeated!" Ikkakumon said.
"Gatomon, Tsunomon, Togemon!" Tai said with horror. "That's it! You're going down, Piedmon!"
The phantom digimon flew into the sky. "Trump Sword!"
Tai held his palm up, "Courage Blast!"
Their two attacks clashed in the sky, causing an explosion. "You're fortunate that we cannot harm you!" Piedmon said,"Dark Masters! Let's go!"
The five new Dark Masters disappeared in a blast of light.
Chapter 2:
Gary Oak was nervous. So nervous in fact, he was sweating. He was standing behind a podium in a conference room facing a large group of people. These people were the Indigo Pokemon League Gym Leaders: Brock, Misty and her sisters, Lt. Surge, Erika, Sabrina, Koga, and Blaine. Seated with them was the Elite Four, Lance, Agatha, Loreli, and Bruno.
Gary had been trying for the past hour to get them to believe his story, but unfortunately, it wasn't going well.
"And you say this Pokemon attacked you?" Lance asked.
Gary sighed. "No, it wasn't a Pokemon, it was something called a Digimon! Someone called Izzy Izumi contacted me from a planet called the Digiworld! He said that he was a member of a team of kids called the Digidestined! They're job is to stop these evil digimon from invading our world! He said that one of those evil digimon, called Myotismon, was trying to capture members of a group called the Chosen! They found a
list which contained my name, as well as some of the Gym Leaders name's as well!"
Misty whispered to Brock. "What do you think?"
"I don't know!" Brock whispered back. "I can tell you one thing though, Gary is scared straight! Whatever he saw out there, I'm sure I don't want to see!"
"Do you honestly except us to believe that story?" Lance said, near to yelling. "What is the real reason that you're wasting our time?"
"If you saw what I saw, you'd believe me!" Gary said, turning away. "I guess I'm just wasting my time!"
He started to leave but stopped when he saw a familiar circle of glowing light appear in the center of the room. "That's it! That's what that Digimon came out of!" he yelled.
Devimon didn't exit this circle though, it was someone else, wearing a cape and a pointed hat. "What kind of Pokemon are you?" Lance asked.
"I am no pokemon, I am a Digimon! I am called Wizardmon!"
"Why are you here?" Gary asked. "Are you after me?"
"No, I am not! I seek another!" he said, turning to view the assemble people.
"Who?"
"Magical Beam!" Wizardmon yelled. His attack hit the ground and exploded. It through everyone across the floor in a mixture of smoke and concrete.
"Misty?" Brock yelled, trying in vain to find his friend.
The smoke cleared, and everyone saw Wizardmon near the portal, with someone over his shoulder. "Misty!" Brock yelled, running towards them.
Wizardmon held up his palm. "Thunder Bomb!" he yelled. The ball of energy hit Brock in the chest, causing him to fly backward. Wizardmon then turned around and jumped into the portal with Misty.
"Now do you believe me?" Gary asked.
Lance nodded. "What can we do?"
"Well, Izzy somehow converted my pokedex to a transporter! I can take myself and three others with me to this Digiworld! Once there, we'll meet up with the Digidestined!"
Lance nodded. "Bruno, I want you to go with them!"
The Fighting Pokemon Master nodded. "Do you have two others?" he asked Gary.
Gary looked at Brock, getting up from the floor. "I do!"
"She's what?" Ash yelled.
"I'm sorry, Ash," Brock said," I tried my best, but.."
"Its okay!" Ash said, calming down.
"Besides we have a plan!" Gary said," Bruno, Brock, and me are going to team up with these Digidestined! Come with us! We'll get her back!"
"All right!" Ash said,"Let's do it!"
"Okay!" Gary said, reaching for his Pokedex. Pressing a button on it, a circle appeared like the one Wizardmon used. "After you!" Gary said to Ash.
"Thank you!" Ash said, "I'm coming Misty!" He jumped in.
The Digidestined, plus Metaletemon sat around the campfire. They had no idea what to do. Three of their friends had were being controlled by their enemy, and they had no idea how to stop it.
"We have to do something!" Tai said.
"What though?" Sora asked.
"Maybe our digivices!" Izzy said,"They could drive the black gears out, remember?"
"I don't think so, not this time!" Matt said,"Remember when we fought the black gears, our digivices automatically went off when we were close to them! We were really close when we fought!"
"This is so depressing!" Mimi said, near to tears. She was taking this the hardest. She didn't want to tell anyone why though.
"Does this mean that Joe won't be our friend again?" T.K. asked Matt.
Matt didn't answer, which made T.K. start to cry softly.
"Don't do that, "Mimi said,"You're gonna make me cry."
"We're sure to fight them again!" Tai said,"We need a plan so that we don't hurt them!"
Metaletemon spoke up. "Well,...."
Suddenly, there was a bright light over the forest. "Are they back again?" Sora said, standing up.
"If it is, we'll get them before they have a chance to attack!" Tai said,"Let's go!"
The team followed him into the forest. The saw a group of fallen trees, and four figures. They saw the biggest one stand up and picked up the one wearing a red hat. The other two stood up by themselves. "Where are we?" the one with the read hat asked.
"You're in the Digiword!" Tai said,"Who are you?"
"Izzy?" one of them asked. "Its me, Gary!"
"Gary, you made it!" Izzy said.
"Gary?" Sora asked,"You're the one Izzy contacted!"
"That's right!" he nodded. "This is Ash, Brock, and Bruno! You guys must be the Digidestined!"
Tai nodded, shaking Ash's outstretched hand. After he introduced everyone he invited them back to camp. "We have much to discuss!" Tai said.
Sora suddenly clutched her stomach. "Excuse me!" she said, running deeper into the forest.
"Sora?" Tai asked, starting to run after her.
Mimi ran in front of him. "I'll go!" she said, running after her friend.
"I wonder what that was about?" Tai asked.
Sora lurched her head back. She tried with all her might, but it flew down again as she throw up once more. "Sora!" Mimi cried, running to her side.
Sora panted, and throw up again. "Okay, I think I'm done!" she said, sitting down.
Mimi sat next to her, and started to rub her best friend's back. "How are you feeling?"
"Tired!" Sora yawned. "I try to keep up my perfect front, but I think that sooner or later, Tai will catch on that something's wrong!"
Mimi nodded. Then she brought something up even though she knew what the response will be. "You have to tell him!"
"We've been through this before! I can't! How can I tell him that I'm... That he's..."
"I can only guess at how you feel, but you can't keep it a secret forever! You're body will betray your lies soon!"
"I know! I know! I'll think of something later, but I think we should get back!"
"Are you okay?" Tai asked, extremely concerned when Sora and Mimi came back.
"Yeah, I'm fine, must have been those berries I ate!" Sora said with a chuckle.
"Sora," Tai said,"I want to apologize for the way I was treating you these last few months."
"What do you mean?" Sora asked, wondering what he was getting at.
"The way I was ignoring you, like I didn't care, but it was because I didn't have any emotions! When I was resurrected, it took a bit of time for my emotions to return, but they're back now. They returned when I was thinking of you!"
Sora started to blush. She looked at Mimi. "Tai, I have something I need to tell you in private! Can I tell you later?"
Tai nodded. "Sure!" Turning to the others he said,"Now, we've got to decided what to do!"
"We have to get Misty back!" Ash said.
"Pika!" his Pikachu said.
"We will!" Matt said,"But we need a way to definitely know who the Chosen are before we do anything!"
"I might be able to help you on that!" a voice said.
"Geni!" the Digidestined said.
As usual, the familiar cylinder of light appeared. "Greetings, and welcome to the Digiworld, Ash, Gary, Bruno, and Brock!"
Bruno leaned to Izzy. "Is that the guy you were talking about?"
Izzy nodded. "Geni, what do you mean?"
"Well, there is an ancient book called the Digi Book! It is rumored to hold to secrets of the Digiworld! It might contain the names of the Chosen!"
"All right!" Tai said,"Where is it?"
"I'm downloading Izzy a map of its location! But be careful! Myotismon is sure to know of the book and no doubt is looking for it now! Good luck, I'll contact you in a few days!"
After the light disappeared, Tai turned to the group. "Okay, Izzy, do you have it?"
Izzy nodded.
"Great!" Tai said,"First thing tomorrow, we'll go!"
"No!" Matt said,"What if he already has the book? Then going after it will just be a waste of time!"
"Oh really?" Tai said, challenging him. "We can't just not go after it! If we can locate the Chosen first, then Myotismon won't have a chance!"
"Tai, I think you need a break!" Matt said.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that lately you only think about destroying Myotismon! Maybe you should step down and.."
"What's this about?" Tai asked. "Are you trying to say that you don't want me as leader anymore? Is that it?"
"Yes, Tai!" Matt said,"We were talking, and that's what we agreed on!"
"Fine!" Tai said, throwing his hands in the air. "But I'm going to get that book, with or without your help!"
"I'll come with you!" Kari said, walking towards her brother. Tai turned to Izzy, "Please download the map Geni gave up onto Kari's digivice!"
Izzy hesitated, then did as he was told. Tai, Kari, and Gatomon started to walk away when Metaletemon said,"Wait for me! I'll go with you!"
"Anyone else?" Tai asked, his eyes lingering on Sora.
Ash looked at Brock, then Gary, then Bruno. "What should we do?"
Gary said,"We should try to get the one behind this, not try to find some book!"
"I agree!" Bruno said.
"No!" Ash said,"We should try to gather our forces! I'm going with him!" He turned and joined Tai's side.
"Me too!" Brock said.
Tai continued to look at Sora. "I'll go," she said.
"Big surprise there!" Matt said.
"Shut up, Matt!" Tai yelled,"You can pick on me all you want, but don't you dare pick on her!"
"Oh yeah Tai! Well if you weren't such a coward, then maybe we'd could settle this!"
Tai looked like he was about to exploded, then he raised his hands. "No! This is exactly what Myotismon wants! Us fighting among each other! We're parting ways right now! Maybe we'll meet again for the final battle! Good bye!"
Kari gave T.K. a farewell glance, as did Sora and Mimi. Then as Tai's team walked away, somewhere in the distance, evil laughter was heard.
