Chapter 3: The Darkened Hour
"So, who's next?" asked
Guardragumon.
"Vulcan's hammer!" yelled Zudomon as he swung his
hammer.
"Giga cannon," said Guardragumon as energy blasted from
his hands.
Zudomon was hit hard and de-digivolved to Gomamon. "Horn
Bust..." started Megakabuterimon.
"Shadow scythe," said Guardragumon as he sent a slash
of darkness into Megakabuterimon.
The attack devastated Megakabuterimon and made him de-digivolve
to Tentomon. "Heat breath!" yelled Guardragumon as he
swept the battle field with a blast of heat.
Only Metalgarurumon and Wargreymon remained digivolved. "We
need to provide a get away," muttered Wargreymon.
"Eeny Meeny Miney Mon," said Guardragumon.
"Metal Wolf Snout!" shouted Metalgarurumon as he shot
small blasts of ice at Guardragumon's face.
The attack frosted Guardragumon's face and distracted him so the
digidestined and their digimon could get away. When Guardragumon
unfrosted, everyone was gone. "I'll get them another
time," muttered Guardragumon before flying away.
~Later on, digidestined camp site~
"How are we supposed to fight an enemy we can't even
hit?" asked Kari.
"Beats me," said TK, "plus, he's a champion which
makes it worse."
"Tentomon, why didn't you say anuthing about Guardragumon
befroe?" asked Izzy.
"First time I've actually seen him," said Tentomon,
"but he's supposed to only be a mythical digimon."
"So, who are we supposed to defeat?" asked Ken.
"Well, we only know of Skullguardragumon, but there could be
others," replied Gatomon.
"And how strong is he?" asked Mimi.
"I think he's just as tough as Guardragumon, since thats
what legend said," said Palmon, "but we didn't think he
was this strong."
"Hey, has anyone seen Tai or Sora?" asked Matt.
"I saw them over there," said Joe pointing off towards
a tree.
"Anyone got some cold water?" asked Izzy with an evil
grin.
During the whole time, Yolei was just staring into space. "I
don't think he really is evil," thought Yolei.
~Elsewhere~
"You had them, and they got away!?" snarled a dragon to
Joseph.
"Yes master," said Joseph.
"We are going hunting now," said the dragon.
"Yes, master Skullguardragumon," said Joseph.
~Nightfall~
"We are like sitting ducks here," Tai whispered to
Sora, since everyone else was asleep.
"I know," Sora whispered back, "our digimon are
too exhausted to even walk."
"Come out, come out wherever you are!" shouted a voice
from above, "come meet your DOOM!"
Yolei had not gone to sleep yet, and was just staring into the
night when she heard the voice. She ten heard footsteps
apporaching. Yolei was starting to get frightened, and was even
more frightened when she saw who was walking, Joseph.
"Surrender," said Joseph, "and I won't hurt
you."
"You, aren't really evil," said Yolei, almost calming
her fears.
"I'm not, am I?" asked Joseph, not caring.
"No," said Yolei as she reached for his hand, "we
can't fight you, our friends are exhausted."
"Friends?" said Joseph, his tone questioning the
concept.
"Come out..... NOW!" yelled the voice from above,
"or I'll destroy the forest!"
An amulet that hung from Joseph's neck began to glow. "No,
he's wrong," said Joseph, "I'm not evil, I just have no
friends..... and the dragons jewel... controls me..... no
more."
A jewel on his amulet cracked and shattered into data. "Now,
I must do what is right," said Joseph, "digivolve
too.... Guardragumon!"
Guardragumon spread his wings and flew through the trees into the
air. "You are wrong," said Guardragumon, "and you
are mine."

What is the significance of the dragon's jewel, and why does
Yolei believe that Joseph is not evil? Who is Skullguardragumon,
and was he the one calling for the digidestined? Find out, next
time.
