Bukamon slowly forced his eyes open. He tried to get up, but was very worn out. Bukamon's eyes scanned the area. He saw palm trees swaying in the breeze and the scattered bodies of some humans. Bukamon's eyes shut and fell. Bukamon then made his eyes shoot open. He got to the air and tried to help the humans; the Digi Destined. Bukamon couldn't wake the Digi Destined up, but he slowly managed to wake up the digimon. The digimon were very relieved that everyone had made it to this island, which Tentomon believed was the continent that they had originally looked for.
With the help of the other digimon, Bukamon managed to turn over their human partners, who were all face down in the sand. Some of them looked good, others looked bad. Parts of Tai's clothes were ripped, showing some cuts on his thighs and bare stomach. T.K. had a black-and-blue on his forehead, where T.K. must have landed in the water. Kari seemed okay, even though she had been knocked unconscious too. Izzy's shirt was all unbuttoned and partially ripped. Everyone else seemed okay. Bukamon and the other digimon didn't know how to go about waking them up because they didn't know if they could accidently injure them, or if the Digi Destined had some internal bleeding. The only thing they figured out to do was put some healing herbs on visible wounds. Tai needed the most because of the little cuts he had across his body. After all the herbs were placed on the humans' visible wounds, the digimon sat down next to them and waited for them to wake up. The digimon started to talk to each other to pass the time.
"Thank you for saving us, Bukamon. But what I would like to know is why are you in your in-training form?" Biyomon asked Bukamon.
"I used too much energy as Zudomon, so instead of going back to Gomamon, I went all the way back to Bukamon." Bukamon told her.
"Oh," Biyomon answered. She looked back with sadness at the unconscious form of Sora.
Hollemon's Castle...
Hollemon sat in his chair, watching as a gray horse digimon walked across the red carpet which led to the chair. "What is it, MagnaUnimon?"
MagnaUnimon bowed its head down. "I'm sorry sir, but Darknexismon has arrived at the castle."
Hollemon smiled. "Excellent. Send him here at once."
MagnaUnimon brought its head up. "Yes sir." MagnaUnimon turned around and trotted back to huge brown doors that led to the carpet. MagnaUnimon said something and the doors burst open. MagnaUnimon went off to the side before the door would hit him.
Hollemon got up from his chair. "Ah, Darknexismon. You've arrived."
Where the doors were a second ago stood fifteen foot tall digimon that looked like a cross between Venommyotismon and Devimon with a cloak covering its face. Darknexismon walked up to Hollemon. "What is it you wanted to talk about, Hollemon?" Darknexismon said calmly.
"I've been watching your actions closely, Darknexismon. I know you got those Digi Destined in that gigantic storm. It got me thinking. I suggest we become partners. I know you want to destroy the Digi Destined as much as I do. Even though you are a DigiGod, they'll find some way to defeat you, the same with me. I have lured them here by abducting Gennai. Once he finishes what is supposed to do, we will be unstoppable!"
Darknexismon crossed his bulging arms. "One thing Hollemon. The Digi Destined will never defeat me, or come close to. Anyway, I accept your offer. You seem confident enough that your Digi Destined will defeat them."
Hollemon's mouth dropped. "How did you know? That's top secret!"
Darknexismon chuckled. "I know a lot more than you think, Hollemon." Darknexismon turned around and walked down the carpet and went behind the doors. The doors closed by themselves.
MagnaUnimon turned to Hollemon. "He seems like he would turn on you, sir."
"Nonsense! Even if he does, I will destroy him personally. MUHAHAHAHA!"
MagnaUnimon took Hollemon's word for it and walked to check on Gennai.
Gennai's Cell...
Gennai leaned back in his chair. He needed to put on one more piece of outer covering and he was done with the digivice. Gennai sighed. He knew that one of Hollemon's servants would come and check on him and once he was done, Hollemon would delete him. He tried to go very slow to make time for the Digi Destined to arrive. "I mind as well," Gennai said to himself. He leaned forward and picked up the screwdriver. He put the last piece on the correct place and screwed it in. He wiped sweat from his forehead and waited for one of Hollemon's servants to come.
Minutes later, the door swung open and MagnaUnimon trotted in the room. He looked at Gennai, who had fallen asleep. "No sleeping!" MagnaUnimon yelled in Gennai's ear. Gennai jumped and looked at MagnaUnimon's oval shaped face plate.
"Oh it's you. Tell Hollemon I have finished."
MagnaUnimon looked at the old man and then the digivice. He inspected it and found he was right. It was done. "Good. Come with me old man, and bring it with you."
Gennai said nothing as he snatched the digivice and stood up. Him and MagnaUnimon walked off.
Hollemon's Room...
Hollemon sat in his chair. He contemplated what Darknexismon said. He wanted to know how Darknexismon knew of his future plans. Just then, a knock in the doors interrupted his thoughts. "What is it?" Hollemon demanded.
"It is MagnaUnimon. I have urgent news."
"Come in." Hollemon watched as MagnaUnimon, accompanied by Gennai, walked into the room. Hollemon stood up. "What is the prisoner doing here?!"
"Sir, Gennai is done with your digivice."
Hollemon sat down. "Excellent. Bring it to me." Gennai handed the digivice to Hollemon. Hollemon gripped the digivice. "Ah....it surges with power. Great work Gennai. Now bring him in the torture room to be deleted. Giantdramon will start it before I come down." MagnaUnimon nodded as Bakemon servants came in and took Gennai away. Hollemon started to concentrate. "Now that I know of the digivices' power, I can create duplicates!" After that was said, the Prototype Digivice glowed with black energy, as did Hollemon's hand. Eight digivices appeared before Hollemon. They faded in and out. Hollemon yelled as the eight new digivices dropped to the ground. Hollemon stopped yelling and breated heavily. He looked up and smiled. "Done." Hollemon picked up the digivices. They looked exactly like the Digi Destined's digivices, but instead of white, they were black. "Now with the DigiEggs and crests. When Apocalymon destroyed the Digi Destined's crests, I managed to get all of the data of the Crest of Knowledge and reform it. There, I could make dark duplicates of it, each with a different trait. MUHAHAHA!"
The Beach...
The digimon managed to wake up their human partners after ten minutes of waiting. After that, they got themselves all situated. Once that was done, they all made a circle around Izzy, who was typing on his laptop.
"Okay, I have pinpointed our location. We are on the continent Gennai told us about." Izzy told them.
"Great," Tai said, "but how do we rescue Gennai?"
"I don't know. We'll have to do things without a plan once we get in the castle."
Tai put his head down. After a moment of silence, Tai put his head up. "Let's go, guys." The Digi Destined and digimon nodded. They got up from their circle and went off.
Hollemon's Castle...
A digimon with a black cape surrounding it kneeled in front of Hollemon. "Sir," the digimon started, "I have located the Digi Destined. They are on this continent, and are making their way towards here."
Hollemon got out of his chair. "No! That ruins everything! They must have come for Gennai. Don't worry, Ultimon, once they come, they will be destroyed..."
With the help of the other digimon, Bukamon managed to turn over their human partners, who were all face down in the sand. Some of them looked good, others looked bad. Parts of Tai's clothes were ripped, showing some cuts on his thighs and bare stomach. T.K. had a black-and-blue on his forehead, where T.K. must have landed in the water.
