APOCALYMON: TRUTH REVEALED
Willis nervously hid in the mouth of the sphinx, glancing towards the upside down pyramid. There was a doorway opened and a trailer, mocking the evil Digimon who once ruled this desert.
"They're starting to load the device," Terriermon said.
"I know," Willis said,"Where are the others. If they take any longer, Datamon's device will be on its way to Piedmon. We have to do something."
"But what?"
Willis sighed at leaned back against the stone wall. "I don't know."
"I can't believe how things have gotten to this point," he thought to himself,"This all started when Kari started having weird dreams of the Digidestined dying. When she was talking to T.K. about it, they were pulled into the Digital World. There Genai gave them Digivices and gave them the task of finding the reborn Digidestined and stopping the Dark Masters. Their first mission was a total success. They found that Mimi had been reborn as Jun Motomiya, Izzy as Cody, and Tai as Davis. They then found that Sora had been reborn as Yolei. The Digidestined encountered Ken Ichijoji, a Digidestined that was connected the the Dark Masters. When they tried to stop the revival of Machinedramon, they encountered Michael, the reborn Joe Kido and Datamon told them that one of the Digidestined was the reborn Puppetmon. When they went to the Digital World to find the Crest of Courage, Metalseadramon and Machinedramon, they discovered that T.K. was Matt, Davis was in fact Puppetmon, and Kari was Tai. Their world had been completely turned upside down.
It was then that I appeared. I had to inform them that the Dark Masters were the least of their worries. The Neo-Digiworld was here. The evil empire was destroying the Digital World for reasons that they only knew. The leader of the army was Taichi, the Tai from the original Digidestined. With his appearance Kari wasn't sure who she was, so she left to find out.
The team then split in two, my half followed Taichi back to Neo-Digiworld Capital, and Yolei's half tried to stop Piedmon's revival. Ken then joined them to stop Piedmon's revival. Kari returned, but, even with her Crest of Courage giving Gatomon Ultimate level strength, they couldn't stop the resurrection of Piedmon.
Both sides were reunited at the Neo-Digiworld Capital and Yolei, the reborn Sora, loved Taichi and was able to bring him over to our side. He then revealed that Kari was just a clone of him. Kari, Ken, Davis, Cody, and Michael fought Lady Devimon on the Dark Tower. They beat her, but Davis returned to his Puppetmon persona and betrayed the team. He stole the Crest of Courage and left.
Taichi replacement, Skull Satanmon, was stealing Digimon's energies across the Digital World. Kari, Yolei, T.K., and Cody went to Jijimon's tower to DNA Digivolve their Digimon together. The Dark Masters arrived at Genai's and Piedmon and Wargreymon started to fight. Skull Satanmon appeared and stole Metalseadramon.
We had no idea what for, so we and the Dark Masters then found out the secret behind Neo-Digiworld. Their emperor was Apocalymon and he wanted his body back. By having Metalseadramon and Puppetmon fuse together, he would reclaim his body. He then started a machine to destroy the Digiworld, and its working perfectly. The Annihilation Wave is slowly destroying the Digital World, in another five days it will be completely gone. We have to find a way to stop it, or our mission has failed.
Now I'm waiting for the others to arrive so we can stop a machine that will make Piedmon more powerful than ever. I just hope they hurry"
"Willis," Terriermon said, "The transport is moving."
"Great," Willis thought, taking out his D-terminal,"Looks like we're going to have to stop them ourselves....wait, look, someone's coming."
Terriermon started smiling. "I think its them!"
Willis narrowed his eyes. "No, that's not them.....That's something I've never seen before."
A dark horse wearing yellow armor dropped down onto the desert sand. A warrior wearing yellow samurai armor and carrying a sword dismounted and stood in front of the moving transport.
The trailer came to a halt. A circular lid opened up on the top of the trailer and Datamon floated up. "You there," he shouted,"Get out of the way!"
The Digimon glared at him.
"I'm giving you one last chance," Datamon said, "Or you will be sorry."
The Digimon started to chuckle. "Do you have any idea who am I?" he asked.
Datamon didn't say anything. "I am Zanbamon," he said, in a deep, raspy voice,"I am a Mega Virus Digimon."
Datamon's face was covered with shock."You-you're a Destroyer!"
Datamon flew back into the trailer and shut the lid. Zanbamon held his sword in front of him and started charging the trailer.
"Rapid Fire!"
Zanbamon turned his head towards the sphinx and blocked the two missiles. He glared with a half smile at Rapidmon standing a few feet from him. "A Golden Armored Digimon," he said, amused,"While you may have considerable strength, you still can't stop me."
"We won't know until we try," Willis said,"Get him Rapidmon!"
Rapidmon charged forward, arming a missiles in his right hand. He jabbed with his left hand, then quickly brought his right hand in front of Zanbamon's face. "Rapid Fire!" he shouted, firing the missiles directly in Zanbamon's face.
The Mega Virus Digimon staggered backwards. "Great shot!" Willis cheered.
Zanbamon growled, show casing his sword. "You are dead!" Before Rapidmon could react, Zanbamon slammed him in the face and sent him to the ground. Zanbamon raised his sword, ready to slice downward, when he stopped. He turned to the right and was just in time to see Wargreymon kicked in the side of the head, sending him to the ground.
"About time you guys showed up!" Willis said.
"Sorry, Takeru," Taichi said, as everyone jumped off of Aquillamon,"We had a little trouble leaving the Dark Master's Castle."
"Okay guys," T.K. said, facing their Digimon,"He can't stop all of you. Get him!"
"Veemon digivolve to Exveemon!"
"Wormmon digivolve to Stingmon!"
"Exveemon..."
"Stingmon...."
"....DNA Digivolve to Paildramon!"
"Patamon digivolve to Angemon!"
"Armadillomon digivolve to Ankylomon!"
"Ankylomon...."
"Angemon...."
"....DNA Digivolve to Shakkoumon!"
"You don't scare me," Zanbamon said.
Wargreymon lead the attack. He hovered a few feet above the ground, making the bottom of his feet level with Zanbamon's head. He spun around and once again kicked Zanbamon in the head.
While the evil Digimon was staggering, Shakkoumon fired his Fajita Bombs. Zanbamon quickly recovered, slashing the spinning bombs to the ground. Ninjamon then threw his metal stars at him, but Zanbamon blocked them with his sword without even looking.
"Blast Rings!" Aquillamon shouted.
Zanbamon took a step back, then jumped through each one of the rings, coming right to Aquillamon's mouth with a mighty punch.
Wargreymon was then back in the attack, backhanding Zanbamon to the ground. The two Mega Digimon then started to battle.
"Wargreymon is the only one that can do it," Cody said.
"You're right, Izzy," Taichi said,"He's the only one that even stands a chance..."
"But he's just holding his own," T.K. said,"This guy must be the weakest of the Destroyers."
"What does that mean?" Taichi asked.
"I'm just saying..."
"Zanbamon has two arms and a sword, Wargreymon has only one arm." Jun said.
"We've got bigger things to worry about," Yolei said,"If Wargreymon doesn't score a knockout soon, he's going to get knock out."
Taichi watched Wargreymon was doing well, only because Zanbamon was attack with his sword, and Wargreymon could block with his armored arms, but it was weakening.
"I'm going to lose both arms soon," Wargreymon thought, "unless I...AHH!"
Zanbamon got smart and kneed Wargreymon in the chest. He staggered back.
"This is the end!" Taichi said,"I'm going to lose him!"
Zanbamon was about to behead Wargreymon when his sword was hit by something and flew out of his hand. "What?!" he asked, turning towards the sky.
The Digidestined and their Digimon did the same. Floating in the sky was a female angel. She had her gloved index finger pointing towards Zanbamon, her other hand reached to her index finger. She pulled back, with an arrow appearing, like a bow. She let go of the end of the arrow, which sailed, straight and true, right though Zanbamon's chest, stunning him. "Now Wargreymon!" the angel said.
Wargreymon didn't know who the Holy Digimon was, but he instantly knew what side she was on. He charged towards the Destroyer. "Mega Claw!" He funneled through the hole that the arrow had created, making it so big that Zanbamon disappeared in a burst of digital information.
The Digimon then all returned to their pre-digivolved forms. They all turned towards the angel Digimon that was descending towards earth. She smiled at them slightly, then was covered in a bright light. She shrunk to a much smaller form. "Gatomon?" everyone asked.
"That's right."
"Kari!" Yolei shouted, running to her friend and hugging her,"You completed the training."
The Digidestined leader nodded. "Yeah, you just met Angewomon, Gatomon's Ultimate form."
"Cool," Patamon said,"I'm not the only angel Digimon."
"Guys," Willis said,"I hate to tell you this, but Datamon got away."
Kari sighed. "He's probably half way to the Dark Tower by now."
Taichi was staring at Datmon's lab. "This is the same place that I found out how much I loved Sora...." he said. Almost possessed he started walking towards the entrance.
"Tai," Yolei said,"Where are you going?"
"I'm going inside," he said,"Imagine what secrets we could find. Maybe even a way to stop Datamon's machine."
"There's nothing in there but horrible memories that should stay buried," Kari said, crossing her arms.
Everyone looked at her with pleading looks in their eyes. "Oh, all right!" she said.
All of the Digidestined walked into the pyramid. "Nothing has changed," Taichi said, looking around.
"Yeah," Yolei said.
The inside of the lab was in shambles. There were chain locks on the wall, and, directly underneath was a small hole. On the other side of the room, there was a table with a yellow sliding screen over it. On the left wall was a large computer.
"There's something else," Kari said, moving towards the wall, "There is this door here, and more down stairs. Come on."
Beyond the door was a long stairway which extended down to a large room. From the limited light they could see that the room was filled with wires and computers. Everything else was locked in darkness. "I can't see a thing," Michael said.
"I can help," Kari said, flicking the switch on. Everyone looked at her questionably. "Gatomon and I investigate this when we were searching for Jijimon.
Now that the lights were on, they could see that there was a row of glass chambers along one wall, and another set along the other wall. There were tubes of wires emerging from the top of the chambers. Following them, the Digidestined saw that each chamber on the left side connected to a chamber on the right side. One of the chambers on the right was shattered.
"These cylinders," Ken said,"They're just like the ones in Datamon's lab on Earth."
"Look," Jun said, pointing towards the shattered one.
All of the Digidestined started looking around. "Datamon was just here," Willis said,"Why didn't he clean up down here?"
"When I was disguised as the reporter I over head some of the Dark Masters' soldiers talking," Jun said,"From what I understand, Datamon just had to get some equipment from the lab, then move back to his new one in the Dark Masters's castle. He wasn't working here."
Willis nodded. "Make's sense."
At the far end of the wall was a large computer like the one on the upper floor. Cody walked over and started typing at the keyboard. "Can you learn anything?" Yolei asked.
There was a hum and the screen started up. "We're about to find out," Kari said as everyone crowed around the screen.
A list of dates appeared on the screen. "What's that Izzy?" Taichi asked.
Cody scrolled down the screen. "It looks like journal entries...wait."
The bottom of the screen had a command listed as VIEW ALL ENTRIES. Cody turned to Kari. "Well?"
Kari nodded. "Do it."
Cody hit the enter button and the screen turned into a picture of Datamon. He was standing in a office room, Genai was behind him, wearing a doctor's uniform. Datamon started speaking. "The process has been a complete success. The seven children that witnessed the battle between Greymon and Parrotmon have traces of Digital Energy within them, as I have suspected. My team, disguised as physicians, were able to completely infuse the children with this energy, enabling them to partner with a Digimon. These children, whom I call the Digidestined, will be the perfect tool against Apocalymon."
The screen flashed dark for a second, then Datamon reappeared. "My right hand man, Genai, has betrayed me. He has created Tags and Crest of a certain virtue, which will disable any programing I had placed in effect to control the Digidestined. My lord Piedmon had stolen the crests and hid them, but Genai still has the Digidestined Digimon and Digivices. I am uncertain whether destroying the Crests will hurt the Digidestined or not, so they will remain hidden."
The screen flashed again. Datamon continued," The Digidestined have faced Apocalymon, but have lost. Apocalymon was still alive, he must be stopped. The Digidestined were assumed to be dead, but they were still alive. Barely, but still alive. I entered the void and rescued the Digidestined. I estimated that within another hour, they would die. With the exception of Agumon, their Digimon were no where in sight. I theorize that the Digidestined are still alive because their Digimon gave them their energy. Tai's new crest saved him, but that crest or the Crest of Courage are missing.
I brought the Digidestined back to my lab and placed them in large cylinders. I could not stop their bodies degeneration, but I needed them to destroy Apocalymon. The only way would be to download their brains, personality, their 'soul' if you will, into new bodies. I need to began the search."
The screen changed to the lab they were in now. Behind Datamon in the left cylinders were the original Digidestined, and in the right cylinders were young babies floating in a green liquid. Sensors and breathing apparatuses were connected to each body in both cylinders. Datamon started speaking. "I have placed the original Digidestined in status to stop their body's deterioration. I have determined that in order to down load their brain patterns, young babies with no conscious thought would work best. I have disguised myself as a physician specializing in curing these children. On the right are catatonic newborns. They have no higher brain patterns. They are Tai Kamiya's younger sister and Matt and Takeru Ishida's younger brother. I suspect that both of these children are vegetables because of the high dose of digital energy present when their parents watched what they believed to be their older children dyeing during Apocalymon's explosion. The others are Yolei Inoe, Cody Hida, Jun and Davis Motomiya, Ken Ichijoiji, and two Americans, Michael and Willis.
Placing Tai and Matt in their younger siblings bodies would make them stronger than before. Sora will become Yolei, Izzy-Cody, Mimi-Jun, Joe-Michael, and Takeru-Willis. In order to revive my lords, the Dark Masters, I will need one of their energies to use as a beacon to draw them back. Puppetmon is the only Dark Master that was reconfigured despite Genai's program. He will be placed as Davis, and Myotismon will become Ken.
Understandably, the download will take time. I cannot place a twelve-year-old mind in a one-year-old's body. I will download slowly, over time."
The screen faded once again, then Datamon appeared. The babies on the right had grown to young children, that appeared to be asleep. "I am now going to preform the final download. Over an eight year period, I have been downloading the brain patterns during their annual 'check up'. The parents have no idea that during the visits I am bringing them to the Digital World. Now, I will complete the download."
Datamon pressed a button on the wall, and the original Digidestined started to glow. The bright light flowed from the top of the cylinders and across the ceiling and into the top of the cylinders on the left. The download was continuing smoothly, until Matt's cylinder started to beep. Datamon hovered down, but the cable connected from Matt's cell, to the opposite cell on the other side broke off and fell onto Datamon, electrocuting him.
After Datamon fell to the ground, the cell on the opposite side blew open, sending glass everywhere. The reborn Matt, T.K. Takeru, stumbled out of the cell. He seem confused and disoriented. He ran to the end of the cylinders. He looked at the eight-year-old Kari Kamiya with a confused look on his face. He then turned to the left and saw someone he recognized, Tai's body. He opened the cell and caught Tai's falling body. He then carried him out of the pyramid.
The screen faded to black then lighten again with Datamon's face. "The subject T.K.Takeru, the life and body which Matt Ishida has been reborn into has been recovered and his memory of his escape erased. There was no trace of Tai Kamiya's body, but even with the status lock I had placed him in for twelve years, he is dead no. However, the download was not complete. Half of Tai Kamiya is now in the female body of Kari Kamiya. She has all of her memories as Tai, but will not be able to achieve the level of strength she would have achieve if the download had been complete. She is Tai Kamiya, but only half Tai Kamiya. I am moving this lab to earth to complete the revival of the Dark Masters. All journal entries will be moved. "
The screen faded. "That's the last entry," Cody said, turning around. Kari and Taichi were staring at each with their mouths opened wide.
"That's what happened," Jun said,"We weren't reincarnated by some divine power, it was Datamon wanting to destroy Apocalymon!"
"I..I'm not a clone of Tai," Kari said,"I AM Tai, but only half, in a new body."
"And I'm the other half, in the original body," Taichi said,"After Matt broke me out, its obvious what happened. Apocalymon found me and cured this body. He cured Agumon the same way and made us the leader of the Neo-Digiworld Army, to find his body."
"And I guess when the malfunction occurred," T.K. said,"That's the reason I couldn't remember about Matt's younger brother."
"What do we do now?" Cody asked.
TO BE CONTINUED....
IF YOU GUYS ARE CONFUSED BY THIS PART, LEAVE ME YOUR E-MAIL, AND I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN IT CLEARER.
Willis nervously hid in the mouth of the sphinx, glancing towards the upside down pyramid. There was a doorway opened and a trailer, mocking the evil Digimon who once ruled this desert.
"They're starting to load the device," Terriermon said.
"I know," Willis said,"Where are the others. If they take any longer, Datamon's device will be on its way to Piedmon. We have to do something."
"But what?"
Willis sighed at leaned back against the stone wall. "I don't know."
"I can't believe how things have gotten to this point," he thought to himself,"This all started when Kari started having weird dreams of the Digidestined dying.

They found that Mimi had been reborn as Jun Motomiya, Izzy as Cody, and Tai as Davis. They then found that Sora had been reborn as Yolei. The Digidestined encountered Ken Ichijoji, a Digidestined that was connected the the Dark Masters. When they tried to stop the revival of Machinedramon, they encountered Michael, the reborn Joe Kido and Datamon told them that one of the Digidestined was the reborn Puppetmon. When they went to the Digital World to find the Crest of Courage, Metalseadramon and Machinedramon, they discovered that T.K. was Matt, Davis was in fact Puppetmon, and Kari was Tai. Their world had been completely turned upside down.
It was then that I appeared. I had to inform them that the Dark Masters were the least of their worries. The Neo-Digiworld was here. The evil empire was destroying the Digital World for reasons that they only knew. The leader of the army was Taichi, the Tai from the original Digidestined. With his appearance Kari wasn't sure who she was, so she left to find out.
The team then split in two, my half followed Taichi back to Neo-Digiworld Capital, and Yolei's half tried to stop Piedmon's revival. Ken then joined them to stop Piedmon's revival. Kari returned, but, even with her Crest of Courage giving Gatomon Ultimate level strength, they couldn't stop the resurrection of Piedmon.
Both sides were reunited at the Neo-Digiworld Capital and Yolei, the reborn Sora, loved Taichi and was able to bring him over to our side. He then revealed that Kari was just a clone of him. Kari, Ken, Davis, Cody, and Michael fought Lady Devimon on the Dark Tower. They beat her, but Davis returned to his Puppetmon persona and betrayed the team. He stole the Crest of Courage and left.
Taichi replacement, Skull Satanmon, was stealing Digimon's energies across the Digital World. Kari, Yolei, T.K., and Cody went to Jijimon's tower to DNA Digivolve their Digimon together. The Dark Masters arrived at Genai's and Piedmon and Wargreymon started to fight. Skull Satanmon appeared and stole Metalseadramon.
We had no idea what for, so we and the Dark Masters then found out the secret behind Neo-Digiworld. Their emperor was Apocalymon and he wanted his body back.

"Willis," Terriermon said, "The transport is moving."
"Great," Willis thought, taking out his D-terminal,"Looks like we're going to have to stop them ourselves....wait, look, someone's coming."
Terriermon started smiling. "I think its them!"
Willis narrowed his eyes. "No, that's not them.....That's something I've never seen before."
A dark horse wearing yellow armor dropped down onto the desert sand. A warrior wearing yellow samurai armor and carrying a sword dismounted and stood in front of the moving transport.
The trailer came to a halt. A circular lid opened up on the top of the trailer and Datamon floated up. "You there," he shouted,"Get out of the way!"
The Digimon glared at him.
"I'm giving you one last chance," Datamon said, "Or you will be sorry."
The Digimon started to chuckle. "Do you have any idea who am I?" he asked.
Datamon didn't say anything. "I am Zanbamon," he said, in a deep, raspy voice,"I am a Mega Virus Digimon."
Datamon's face was covered with shock."You-you're a Destroyer!"
Datamon flew back into the trailer and shut the lid. Zanbamon held his sword in front of him and started charging the trailer.
"Rapid Fire!"
Zanbamon turned his head towards the sphinx and blocked the two missiles. He glared with a half smile at Rapidmon standing a few feet from him. "A Golden Armored Digimon," he said, amused,"While you may have considerable strength, you still can't stop me."
"We won't know until we try," Willis said,"Get him Rapidmon!"

"About time you guys showed up!" Willis said.
"Sorry, Takeru," Taichi said, as everyone jumped off of Aquillamon,"We had a little trouble leaving the Dark Master's Castle."
"Okay guys," T.K. said, facing their Digimon,"He can't stop all of you. Get him!"
"Veemon digivolve to Exveemon!"
"Wormmon digivolve to Stingmon!"
"Exveemon..."
"Stingmon...."
"....DNA Digivolve to Paildramon!"
"Patamon digivolve to Angemon!"
"Armadillomon digivolve to Ankylomon!"
"Ankylomon...."
"Angemon...."
"....DNA Digivolve to Shakkoumon!"
"You don't scare me," Zanbamon said.
Wargreymon lead the attack. He hovered a few feet above the ground, making the bottom of his feet level with Zanbamon's head. He spun around and once again kicked Zanbamon in the head.
While the evil Digimon was staggering, Shakkoumon fired his Fajita Bombs. Zanbamon quickly recovered, slashing the spinning bombs to the ground. Ninjamon then threw his metal stars at him, but Zanbamon blocked them with his sword without even looking.

"Zanbamon has two arms and a sword, Wargreymon has only one arm." Jun said.

The Digimon then all returned to their pre-digivolved forms. They all turned towards the angel Digimon that was descending towards earth. She smiled at them slightly, then was covered in a bright light. She shrunk to a much smaller form. "Gatomon?" everyone asked.
"That's right."
"Kari!" Yolei shouted, running to her friend and hugging her,"You completed the training."
The Digidestined leader nodded. "Yeah, you just met Angewomon, Gatomon's Ultimate form."
"Cool," Patamon said,"I'm not the only angel Digimon."
"Guys," Willis said,"I hate to tell you this, but Datamon got away."
Kari sighed. "He's probably half way to the Dark Tower by now."
Taichi was staring at Datmon's lab. "This is the same place that I found out how much I loved Sora...." he said. Almost possessed he started walking towards the entrance.

He has created Tags and Crest of a certain virtue, which will disable any programing I had placed in effect to control the Digidestined. My lord Piedmon had stolen the crests and hid them, but Genai still has the Digidestined Digimon and Digivices. I am uncertain whether destroying the Crests will hurt the Digidestined or not, so they will remain hidden."
The screen flashed again. Datamon continued," The Digidestined have faced Apocalymon, but have lost. Apocalymon was still alive, he must be stopped. The Digidestined were assumed to be dead, but they were still alive. Barely, but still alive. I entered the void and rescued the Digidestined. I estimated that within another hour, they would die. With the exception of Agumon, their Digimon were no where in sight. I theorize that the Digidestined are still alive because their Digimon gave them their energy. Tai's new crest saved him, but that crest or the Crest of Courage are missing.
I brought the Digidestined back to my lab and placed them in large cylinders. I could not stop their bodies degeneration, but I needed them to destroy Apocalymon. The only way would be to download their brains, personality, their 'soul' if you will, into new bodies. I need to began the search."
The screen changed to the lab they were in now. Behind Datamon in the left cylinders were the original Digidestined, and in the right cylinders were young babies floating in a green liquid. Sensors and breathing apparatuses were connected to each body in both cylinders. Datamon started speaking. "I have placed the original Digidestined in status to stop their body's deterioration. I have determined that in order to down load their brain patterns, young babies with no conscious thought would work best. I have disguised myself as a physician specializing in curing these children. On the right are catatonic newborns. They have no higher brain patterns. They are Tai Kamiya's younger sister and Matt and Takeru Ishida's younger brother. I suspect that both of these children are vegetables because of the high dose of digital energy present when their parents watched what they believed to be their older children dyeing during Apocalymon's explosion. The others are Yolei Inoe, Cody Hida, Jun and Davis Motomiya, Ken Ichijoiji, and two Americans, Michael and Willis.
Placing Tai and Matt in their younger siblings bodies would make them stronger than before. Sora will become Yolei, Izzy-Cody, Mimi-Jun, Joe-Michael, and Takeru-Willis. In order to revive my lords, the Dark Masters, I will need one of their energies to use as a beacon to draw them back. Puppetmon is the only Dark Master that was reconfigured despite Genai's program. He will be placed as Davis, and Myotismon will become Ken.
Understandably, the download will take time. I cannot place a twelve-year-old mind in a one-year-old's body. I will download slowly, over time."
The screen faded once again, then Datamon appeared. The babies on the right had grown to young children, that appeared to be asleep. "I am now going to preform the final download. Over an eight year period, I have been downloading the brain patterns during their annual 'check up'. The parents have no idea that during the visits I am bringing them to the Digital World. Now, I will complete the download."
Datamon pressed a button on the wall, and the original Digidestined started to glow. The bright light flowed from the top of the cylinders and across the ceiling and into the top of the cylinders on the left. The download was continuing smoothly, until Matt's cylinder started to beep. Datamon hovered down, but the cable connected from Matt's cell, to the opposite cell on the other side broke off and fell onto Datamon, electrocuting him.
After Datamon fell to the ground, the cell on the opposite side blew open, sending glass everywhere. The reborn Matt, T.K. Takeru, stumbled out of the cell. He seem confused and disoriented. He ran to the end of the cylinders. He looked at the eight-year-old Kari Kamiya with a confused look on his face. He then turned to the left and saw someone he recognized, Tai's body. He opened the cell and caught Tai's falling body. He then carried him out of the pyramid.
The screen faded to black then lighten again with Datamon's face. "The subject T.K.Takeru, the life and body which Matt Ishida has been reborn into has been recovered and his memory of his escape erased. There was no trace of Tai Kamiya's body, but even with the status lock I had placed him in for twelve years, he is dead no. However, the download was not complete. Half of Tai Kamiya is now in the female body of Kari Kamiya. She has all of her memories as Tai, but will not be able to achieve the level of strength she would have achieve if the download had been complete. She is Tai Kamiya, but only half Tai Kamiya. I am moving this lab to earth to complete the revival of the Dark Masters. All journal entries will be moved. "
The screen faded. "That's the last entry," Cody said, turning around. Kari and Taichi were staring at each with their mouths opened wide.
"That's what happened," Jun said,"We weren't reincarnated by some divine power, it was Datamon wanting to destroy Apocalymon!"
"I..I'm not a clone of Tai," Kari said,"I AM Tai, but only half, in a new body."
"And I'm the other half, in the original body," Taichi said,"After Matt broke me out, its obvious what happened. Apocalymon found me and cured this body. He cured Agumon the same way and made us the leader of the Neo-Digiworld Army, to find his body."
"And I guess when the malfunction occurred," T.K. said,"That's the reason I couldn't remember about Matt's younger brother."
"What do we do now?" Cody asked.
