Wiccamon had been turning to Angewomon slowly. By the time she saw her attack, it was too late to react. The arrow hit the center of the black gear. A black bubble surrounded Wiccamon, then it shattered along with the black gear. Wiccamon fell from the sky and landed with a sickening thud. She wasn't too far from the children Angewomon went to her and held her.

"Angewomon, you okay?" Kari asked.

"Yes Kari, I'm fine." Angewomon said.

"You've been acting kind of funny." Lilymon said as the others landed around them.

"Wizardmon was my best friend. Wiccamon knows something about him, but I don't know what." Angewomon explained.

"She looks pretty bad," Joe said.

He was right. Wiccamon's eyes were shut tight, she was barely breathing, her skin was pale. Soon, the color came back to her face. Her eyes fluttered open, then she breathed in sharply. She looked at the faces surrounding her.

"Is, is it gone?" Wiccamon asked, her voice breathy and weak. "Am I free from my nightmare? Or am I living in a dream?"

"The black gear is destroyed." Angewomon assured her.

Wiccamon sat up. She saw past the ones around her to Tai, Izzy and Sora. They sat alone, Izzy holding Tentomon, Tai trying to help Agumon and Sora with Mimi. Wiccamon was on her feet in a second.

"What have I done?" Wiccamon asked. She walked to them as fast as her weak body would allow.

"Wiccamon be careful, you're still weak." Garudamon warned.

"I hurt both Digimon and human. I must make it right. Lay these three together." Wiccamon ordered.

Sora looked uncertain. She took MimiÕs hand and held it tight. Izzy also seemed untrusting in Wiccamon and held Tentomon closer. Tai's hard face softened as he sighed, the sigh indicating he had made up his mind.

"I trust her." Tai said, picking up Agumon carefully.

"If Tai trusts her, so do I." Izzy said, standing up with Tentomon in his arms.

Now it was Sora's turn to sigh. "Okay," she whispered.

Tai set Agumon one side of Mimi, Izzy lay Tentomon on the other. Wiccamon stood before them, her staff raised.

"Will this hurt?" Agumon asked, looking up.

"I'm not sure." Wiccamon said, looking up at the sky. She glanced down at the small Digimon, giving him a small wink. "Leave your trust in me Agumon."

With a small shudder and a face filled with uncertainty, Agumon laid back down and tried to relax.

"Light of the moon, shining of the sun, let my magic undo the things I have done!" Wiccamon waved her staff over the three, casting a golden light over them. Agumon's burn healed, Tentomon awoke, Mimi's injuries healed and she also woke up.

"Whoa, what happened?" Tentomon wondered.

Mimi looked up and saw Wiccamon. She screamed She crawled backwards until she bumped into Matt. Once he helped her up, she hugged him tightly.

"Don't let her hurt me again!" Mimi pleaded.

Matt was taken by surprise. He could only stand there with a confused look.

"Uh, Mimi?" He finally stammered. "Mimi, it's okay, really,"

As the others went to comfort Mimi, Wiccamon truly saw the damage she had done. It made her sick. She turned away but fell to her knees, weak. She began to cry.

Mimi heard the crying and stopped crying herself. They turned and saw Wiccamon. Mimi finally let Matt go, but now she was the one who was confused.

"What's up with her?" Mimi asked.

"The gear was destroyed Mimi. She healed you, Tentomon and Agumon!" T.K. explained.

"Oh." Mimi said.

They went to Wiccamon, Kari kneeled in front of her.

"You okay Wiccamon?" Kari asked.

Wiccamon looked up. "Yes Kari. Actually, no. No, I'm not okay. I've hurt people and Digimon. Agumon? Tentomon? Mimi? I understand if you never forgive me."

"But you weren't the one who hurt us Wiccamon," Agumon said.

ÒYes. It was the black gear that did it," Tentomon said.

"I forgive you." Mimi said, smiling.

Wiccamon smiled back. But her smile was erased when a sinister laugh filled the air.

"Shadowmon," Wiccamon whispered. "He's been haunting Wizardmon and I for a very, very long time. Her gave me the black gear and made me hurt you."

"Wiccamon," Shadowmon's voice growled through the air. "Dark Cyclone!"

A black gust of wind swept Wiccamon high in the sky until she could barely be seen. Then the black wind disappeared. Wiccamon crashed back on the ground.

"Wiccamon!" Angewomon yelled.

Lilymon flew over and helped her up. "You okay?" She asked.

"I'll live," Wiccamon muttered.

"Not for long." Shadowmon said. The shadowy figure floated before them, then took on his human form. "So, you're no longer under my black gear. See how weak you are without it, Wiccamon?"

"An angel's arrow drains evil. I feel stronger than ever." Wiccamon snapped.

"Then stand Wiccamon. Stand and face me in your newfound strength." Shadowmon challenged.

Wiccamon's eyes narrowed. accepting the challenge. She started to struggle to her feet. Angewomon and Lilymon went to help her, but she pushed them away.

"No, I'm okay." She insisted.

"Are you sure?" Angewomon asked.

Without answering, Wiccamon finally stood up. She was shaky at first, but then she straightened.

"Oh, you're scaring me," Shadowmon said.

"I'll scare you," WereGarurumon growled under his breath. His hate for this enemy had been held in too long. He leaped up to attack before Matt or Wiccamon could stop him.

"Cobra Grip." Shadowmon said coolly. He plucked WereGarurumon out of the air and wrapped him tightly in his clutches.

"WereGarurumon!" Matt cried in horror.

WereGarurumon began to panic. He couldn't speak, couldn't breath, all he could do was feel pain.

"I'll crush them one by one, Digimon by Digimon, human by human!" Shadowmon said triumphantly. "I'll be rid of the all Wiccamon! And there's nothing you can do!"

Wiccamon's fists clenched. "Never," she whispered. Then she began glowing.

"Hey, what's going on?" Joe wondered.

"I think she's digevolving," Agumon said,

A light grew around Wiccamon, then it faded to reveal a warrior. She stood tall and strong, maybe not as tall as Garudamon, but bigger than WereGarurumon. Her long brown hair was set up in a silver tiara. She had silver armor than glimmered, and her staff held silvery bark and bore white roses.

"Guardian Wave!" The new Digimon cried.

An electrical wave swept over them all, but affected only Shadowmon and blew him away. WereGarurumon was dropped, the new Digimon flew up and caught his limp body. Then slowly she lowered to the ground.

"Who are you?" Tai asked.

"That's Guardiamon," Izzy said, typing it up on his laptop. "She's still not registering as a real Digimon. Her electric attacks are strong but her healing are unsurpassed."

"Can you save WereGarurumon?" Matt asked.

Guardiamon glanced at Matt, then her eyes rested on the wolf in her arms. Matt sighed and turned away. Guardiamon looked back at Matt and could tell her was deeply troubled. She picked up Matt carefully and set him close to WereGarurumon, then she placed her hand on the wolf's chest. Her hand began to glow. Matt's want to save his friend made his crest glow, lending more power to Guardiamon's healing. WereGarurumon's eyes opened.

"Guardiamon?" WereGarurumon murmured as he and Matt were set down. "I'd never thought I'd see the day,"

"What do you mean?" Izzy asked. "I thought you never saw this Digimon before."

"I existed deep inside them Izzy." Guardiamon said.

"But how can you digevolve?" Joe asked.

Guardiamon was about to explain, but she feel forward. Behind her, Shadowmon had appeared and blasted her back.

"You can't get rid of me that easily!" Shadowmon declared.

"We shall see." Guardiamon said.

The two were locked in a massive battle, but neither side seemed to be winning. What Guardiamon lacked in Shadowmon's strength, size and power, she compensated with speed, agility and stamina.

"You can't beat me witch," Shadowmon growled.

"I'm deleted when you're deleted." Guardiamon replied. "All in all Shadowmon, I think you're jealous."

"Ha! You have nothing for me to be jealous of!"

"Besides the fact I can change and you can't. You're strong Shadowmon, but you'll never grow stronger. You can't grow and change the way the humans, Digimon and I can."

That struck a chord in Shadowmon. He attacked in rage now, his speed increasing. Guardiamon didn't expect this and was soon caught in his Cobra Grip attack.

"Agumon digevolve to Greymon!"

"Tentomon digevolve to Kabuterrimon!"

"Just Champions," Shadowmon sneered, ignoring them.

Izzy and Tai glanced at each other, then glowered at Shadowmon. Their eyes held determination and it was that determination that allowed MetalGreymon and MegaKabuterrimon.

"You still don't frighten me! Vampire Storm!" Shadowmon called.

A strange mark appeared on the Digimon and slowly began draining their power.

"I'll destroy the children too Guardiamon. Surrender or they all die!" Shadowmon threatened.

Guardiamon saw them out of the corner of her eyes. The Digimon were too weak to move now, the children too horrified to move.

"Never," she whispered with the little breath she had left. "Never! Digevolve!"

A light encircled her, forcing Shadowmon's grip to loosen. The light faded a bit to reveal the digevolving Digimon. Her armor was replaced with black pants and a white shirt. Her tiara disappeared, letting her hair tumble to her shoulders and turn raven black. Her staff turned into a broom that was adorned with flowers and ribbon, a wand appeared in her other hand, finally a black and gold witches hat and cloak completed her.

"Guardiamon digevolve to GuardaWiccamon!"

"You will be deleted, make no mistake about that!" Shadowmon screamed.

"Oh yeah?" Tai exclaimed.

"Tai, ease off," Sora warned.

"No way Sora! He hurt our friends! IÕm ready to take on this guy myself!"

"He has a point, we can't give up!" Matt agreed.

"Who said they're giving up? I'm not!" T.K. exclaimed.

"Tai, Matt, T.K., no. This isn't your fight. Not yet." GuardaWiccamon said.

ÒBut," Tai began to argue.

"No Tai." GuardaWiccamon said harshly.

"Careful Tai," Izzy said. "She had a no tolerance attitude. No means no."

"Healing Stars!" GuardaWiccamon pointed her wand to the Digimon. Stars fell out of the wand and landed on the strange markings. They disappeared and the Digimon stood, re-energized.

"Now Shadowmon, this day your plague of terror ends." GuardaWiccamon said.

"You can't win."

"You think so."

"Black Abyss!" A black whirlwind was shot at GuardaWiccamon, but she dodged it easily. "I only chose you and Wizardmon for your pathetic human qualities! You both are fools!"

Below, the children and Digimon gasped.

"They were human?" Tai wondered.

"We always knew you were just using us." GuardaWiccamon replied.

"You also knew you were doomed. You both feared true power. Face it, Wizardmon died to escape my fury and your rejection!"

"Wizardmon and I had a disagreement. I never rejected him. He became a wanderer on his own. He forgot things because that's what time in the Digiworld can do. You face reality Shadowmon, you know nothing about us. And you still don't. You've plagued my life long enough. Now it is time to say good-bye." GuardaWiccamon raised her broom and wand. Her eyes glowed, holding Shadowmon in place. "Earth, air, fire, water, all the elements at my disposal. Water, fire, air and earth, aid me in my proposal. Help give me the power to banish, those who exists now, now must vanish."

The Digimon looked up at her and nodded.

"Digi Blasters!"

"Wolf Claw!"

"Flower Cannon!"

"Bolted Hammer!"

"Horn Buster!"

"Wing Blade!"

"Hand of Faith!"

"Celestial Arrow!"

Their power went to the broom and wand. They began to glow.

"To the evil, unsacred fiend, thou memory hast been only a dream!" GuardaWiccamon finished the chant.

Two beams shot from the wand and broom. The beams bore into Shadowmon, who screamed in his defeat. His form dissolved under the blast.

Shadowmon was deleted.
