Chapter 11: Return of Puppetmon

"So, he reached ultimate," said Metalsnidramon.
"Yes master," said Skullguardragumon, "and apparently, he has teamed up with the digidestined."
"My experiment is nearly done, the result shall be their next challenge," said Metalsnidramon, "in the meantime, inform the rest of the Dark Five."
"Yes master," said Skullguardragumon.
~Elsewhere~
The digidestined had set up camp, and were gathered around a fire. Night had fallen, and the creatures of the night had taken over the trees and ground. Joseph was just staring into the fire, lost in though. "What could he be thinking about," though Yolei.
"So Tai, are you and Sora ready to declare you're going out officially?" asked Joe.
Tai and Sora turned red and said nothing. "Yeah, come on you two," said Mimi, "spit it out."
"Do they have to admit it again?" asked Matt, "they've broken up, what, five times now, for stupid reasons.... and they've gotten back together everytime."
"Could you be anymore depressing Matt?" asked Gatomon.
"Sure," said Matt, "why not?"
Joseph was still staring into the fire, and Yolei was glancing at him from the side of her eye, still wondering. "Hey, is he even with is anymore?" asked Armadillomonas he pointed at Joseph.
"Digi-world to Joseph," said TK as he poked Joseph.
Joseph didn't even flinch or move. "Personally, I think he's kinda cute," thought Yolei.
~The next day~
The sun was shining brightly, a breeze of fresh air was vlowing, and the digidestined were just getting ready to leave. "I still say I'd do better if I went off alone," said Joseph.
"Nonsense," said Yolei, "we need you, and you need us."
"How do I even need you?" asked Joseph.
"You said you have no friends," swaid Palmon, "here's your chance to have some."
"I don't deserve..." started Joseph.
"Don't say that," interupted Mimi, "if we need to, we can get Matt or Tai to punch some sense into you."
"I could just digivolve and burn them," said Joseph.
"Just come along," said Tai, "you can't accomplish anything much alone."
"In that case..... lead on, oh fearless leader," said Joseph.
~Elsewhere~
"So, Guardragumon has digivolved succesfully," said Blackwargreymon.
"Yes master," said another digimon who was in the shadows.
~Dragon Mountain~
"Now is the time," said Metalsnidramon, "send in the Airdramon battalion to deliver it.
"Yes master," said Skullguardragumon.
~Digidestined and digimon's location~
"So, Joseph, can you tell us anything about your past?" asked Cody.
"Unfortunately, I can only remember cimming here around a year ago, and the events that happened from the on.... most of them anyways," said Joseph.
"So, you don't really exist in our world," said Mimi.
"I exist, I'm just.... missing," said Joseph.
"Look, incoming Airdramon," said Agumon.
"They're Skullguardragumon's air troops," said Joseph, "I could take them out in one attack."
"It'd be a waste of energy if you digivolved to fight them," said Tentomon.
-Digimon Analyzer- "Airdramon are flying serpants that attack with their spinmning needle attack."
"We'll take care of this," said Biyomon.
"Yeah," said Tentomon.
"Biyomon digivolve too... Birdramon."
"Tentomon digivolve too.... Kabuterimon."
"Hawkmon digivolve too..... Aquilamon."
"Spinning needle!" yelled five of the Airdramon at the same time.
A fireball shot from each Airdramon's mouth and headed for the three champions. "Shadow claw," said Joseph as claws in the shadows extended from his shadow.
All of the attacks exploded before they even got to the digimon. "That's not logical," said Izzy.
Suddenly five claws of darkness appeared from thin air, emerging from Joseph's amulet. "Who said I even need to digivolve?" asked Joseph as the claws returned to his amulet.
One Airdramon flew forward, swooped to the ground, and dropped a small package. The Airdramon then retreated. "That, was wierd," said Sora.
The package was starting to crack and all eyes were on it. "Hey kids, remember me?" asked a voice.
"Puppetmon?" said TK.
