The Digi Destined, on Megakabuterimon, watched the EDD fade further and further away from view. They thought that when the EDD left, they could search the area for Tai and Matt.

The EDD, on the other hand, knew exactly where the two missing Digi Destined were. They searched around the area they were sure Tai and Matt were. Sure enough, Tyler discovered their trap in the ground with Tai, Matt and their digimon, which were at their in-training forms. They all were unconscious. The EDD smiled deviously to each other as they watched Tyler and Andrew cautiously climb down the side of the hole. Once they made it, they jumped onto the bottom of the hole. Tyler scooped up Matt and Andrew scooped up Tai. Both of them flung the unconscious Digi Destined over their shoulders. Then Andrew grabbed Koromon and Tsunomon, and threw them up very high, high enough for Lance to catch them. Then Andrew and Tyler climbed up again. As they reached the top, Ken and Carlos helped the two out of the hole.

"Goldamon, digivolve to... Aguilamon!"

Aguilamon, her wings at her sides, awaited the EDD to climb aboard. The EDD, minus Andrew and Tyler, climbed onto the eagle digimon. Carlos and Ken offered their hands and hoisted Tyler and Andrew onto Aguilamon.

With everybody on Aguilamon's back, she spread her wings and took to the air. Their destination: The EDD's Castle...

Meanwhile, the Digi Destined saw Aguilamon in the sky, and knew the EDD were leaving. They kept close eye on Aguilamon until she was out of sight. Then the Digi Destined climbed aboard Megakabuterimon and he flew over to where the battle took place minutes before. Megakabuterimon could tell it was the right place because of the snapped trees and debris of trees.

Megakabuterimon landed and watched closely as each Digi Destined jumped off the huge beetle digimon. Megakabuterimon then turned back to Tentomon.

"Oh, Izzy, how are we going to find Tai and Matt?" Mimi asked sweetly.

"That's easy, Mimi. We can just home in on their digivice signal and we just come to them." Izzy told her. After he said that, everybody took out their digivices and looked at the screen for a reading.

"They're gone!" T.K. said out loud. It was true. There was no signal as to where Matt and Tai were.

Izzy contemplated this. "The EDD must have taken the both of them away... but why?"

EDD's Castle...

The EDD walked to the torture room with Matt and Tai, who were still unconscious. They entered the room, only to be greeted by Gargantumon. Tyler and Andrew hoisted Matt and Tai onto metal crosses on the wall. Metal locks wrapped around their wrists and knees, keeping them on the wall.

"What are you going to do with the digimon?" Gargantumon asked Lance.

"Oh, I think we can have a little fun with them in the Battle Room." Lance chuckled. Gargantumon nodded. Gargantumon watched as Lance walked away from the room and joined the rest of the EDD. They walked off to the Battle Room.

The Battle Room...

Agumon and Gabumon, both sprawled out on the dark blue tiled floor, started to stir from their unconsciousness. Agumon was the first to slowly get up and open his eyes. He gasped and scanned the area. He didn't have a clue where he was. He looked down and saw Gabumon. He started to shake him gently.

"Gabumon, wake up!" Agumon told the other digimon.

Gabumon slowly opened his eyes and got to his feet. He also scanned the area and then turned to face Agumon. "Agumon, where are we?"

Agumon shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know either, Gabumon. Last time I remember, we were in that huge hole with Tai and Matt."

"Well, look here. The digimon have awaken." A voice said suddenly.

Agumon and Gabumon looked around all over the place to see the source of the voice. "Who's there?" They both said in unison.

On cue, the front of the room opened up like doors. The EDD stepped out.

"It's the EDD!" the two digimon said in unison.

Lance nodded. "Quite right. Now, let's get down to business. Warp digivolve now!" He commanded.

Agumon crossed his arms and shook his head. "We can't do that without our partners here."

Lance waved his finger. "Oh, no, they're here."

The two digimon looked around for their partners. Lance pushed a button on the control panel and one of the walls turned into a picture of Tai and Matt hoisted on the wall in the Torture Room.

"Let them go now!" The two digimon yelled.

"Warp digivolve, and we'll consider it." Lance said.

Agumon and Gabumon growled. "I guess we'll have to do it to save them," Gabumon told Agumon. Agumon nodded.

"Agumon warp digivolve to..." Agumon's eyes closed and he tried to summon his power. It didn't come. "...Agumon."

Gabumon tried this time. The same thing happened. "What's wrong?!" Lance yelled.

"We're too weak to warp digivolve!" Agumon said.

"Too weak?!" Lance took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket. "Gargantumon, torture them now!"

The picture of Tai and Matt flashed as electricity shot through their bodies. Agumon and Gabumon could only watch in horror. "Let them go!" The two digimon yelled in unison.

"Warp digivolve!" Andrew yelled out.

Agumon closed his eyes. He couldn't take this anymore. Suddenly, he raised his head and howled into the sky. "NOOO!!!!!"

The EDD watched in horror as Agumon turned into darkness and started to take to another form.

"Agumon, demon-digivolve to..." Agumon started to grow to a human adult's height. His body was like that of Wargreymon, but he had Greymon's head and a black tail with a blade coming out of the tip of it. The body was orange, but it became almost completely covered with black armor. Very few parts of the body were left exposed. "...Darkgreymon!"

Gabumon stared wide-eyed at the new digimon. "..A..Agumon?" Darkgreymon looked down at Gabumon with cold eyes. He suddenly yelled into the air and the ground gave way under Darkgreymon, creating a circular crater in the middle of the floor. A force field of power pulsated all around Darkgreymon. Gabumon and the EDD were blown away by the power of Darkgreymon. He flew into the air and crashed through the ceiling and out of the castle.

Darknexismon and Skullmetalgarurumon watched Infiernomon fly around, looking for him from a floating glacier in the middle of the ocean.

Past the mountains Infiernomon went to was the ocean and a whole jackpot of glaciers. Darknexismon and Skullmetalgarurumon landed on one and decided to just sit there and let Infiernomon find them.

Darknexismon's head suddenly perked up to the sky. Skullmetalgarurumon looked at his master. "Master, what is it?"

"A DigiGod...a DigiGod is coming this way." Darknexismon said without taking his eyes away from the sky.

"A DigiGod?" Skullmetalgarurumon looked up and saw Infiernomon also looking to the sky. Skullmetalgarurumon started to make out a little black dot in the sky. The 'dot' was moving at a very fast speed so Skullmetalgarurumon was able to make out who the DigiGod was. "Master...who is that?"

"That's Darkgreymon. A legendary dark DigiGod with enormous powers. Any enemy is wiped out easily with its Gaia Destroyer and Terra Rage attacks." Darknexismon told Skullmetalgarurumon without taking his eyes off Darkgreymon.

Darkgreymon stopped flying and surveyed the area. "Hmm...a Hyper, Ultra and DigiGod. I'll have some fun destroying the Hyper level digimon first!" Darkgreymon said to himself. Darkgreymon flew at unprecedented speeds and flew into Infiernomon. Infiernomon plummeted through the air. He was a few feet away from the water.

Darkgreymon flew under Infiernomon in a matter of seconds and did an uppercut which sent Infiernomon flying upward into the air. Infiernomon regained consciousness and stopped and barely dodged Darkgreymon's next charge. Darkgreymon saw he was conscious and flew in front of Infiernomon.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Infiernomon demanded of Darkgreymon.

Darkgreymon regarded Infiernomon for a few seconds and said nothing. Then he decided to speak up. "I am Darkgreymon. My only goal in life is to plague all worlds into darkness. I only wish to eliminate everything the world has to offer before I destroy it. Now, I ask you the same question."

"I am Infiernomon. If you must know, I am looking for a digimon by the name of Darknexismon."

Darkgreymon burst into laughter. Infiernomon's skull head smirked. "You fool! You've been spending all of your time looking for this digimon, when he's right behind you!" Darkgreymon told Infiernomon.

Infiernomon's eyes widened and he turned around and looked down to see Darknexismon and Skullmetalgarurumon on the glacier. "There they are!" He said to himself. Infiernomon quickly descended and landed on the glacier. He was partly surprised that Darkgreymon did nothing to attack him.

"Horn Missile!" Suddenly, a horn flew through a peak in the glacier, making a solid hole. Infiernomon, Darknexismon, Skullmetalgarurumon and Darkgreymon looked to see Raptordramon, and the EDD on top of her, land next to Infiernomon. Raptordramon turned back to Goldamon and the EDD approached Infiernomon.

"Master, I'm glad we found you. A Digi Destined's Agumon has somehow reached the DigiGod level and we were afraid he got you." Lance told Infiernomon.

Infiernomon's eyes widened. "You mean Darkgreymon?"

Lance nodded. "How did you–"

"Gaia Destroyer!" A gray energy ball twice the size as Wargreymon's Terra Force flew at the glacier everyone was on. Everyone saw it coming. Infiernomon, Skullmetalgarurumon and Darknexismon flew to the air to dodge it while the EDD and their digimon dove into the ocean and swam quickly away from the glacier.

Darkgreymon's Gaia Destroyer flew into the middle of the glacier and exploded on impact. The glacier erupted into the air as tiny pieces of ice, followed by a huge explosion.

"Hell's Welcome!"

The water under Darkgreymon shot up followed by a geyser of lava. The lava engulfed Darkgreymon and grabbed him. The geyser crashed back down underwater as quickly as it had began. Darkgreymon was no where to be seen.

The Digi Destined, lost from trying to get to the EDD's Castle, were above the mountains Infiernomon was in on Megakabuterimon. Megakabuterimon turned around suddenly towards the horizon and in the distance a red-orange line, which looked like lava, came up and quickly went back down. "Let's go over there, Megakabuterimon." Izzy told his partner. Megakabuterimon nodded and flew quickly over to where they saw the line.

Infiernomon breathed heavily after summoning almost all his power to suck Darkgreymon down. Suddenly, he turned around to see Skullmetalgarurumon flying at him. Infiernomon quickly descended and Skullmetalgarurumon stopped to look under him.

"Nova Claw!" Infiernomon came under Skullmetalgarurumon and slashed him with his fiery claw. Infiernomon grabbed Skullmetalgarurumon and threw him into the ocean below. Infiernomon looked up to the sound of clapping.

Darknexismon descended and stopped in front of Infiernomon. "Nice job, Infiernomon. Even though you did not delete Skullmetalgarurumon, I've never seen anyone beat him that easily before."

"Save your compliments, Darknexismon. It's just you and me."

"Terra Rage!" Infiernomon and Darknexismon looked down to see water shoot up and hundreds of Terra Force balls shoot from the ground. Suddenly, lava shot up into a geyser of water and lava. The water and lava quickly fell into the ocean, but Darkgreymon remained, unscathed.

"What?!" Infiernomon yelled. He was too distracted by Darkgreymon's reappearance to see Darknexismon fly at him.

"Dark Blade!" A beam shot from Darknexismon's blade and connected into Infiernomon's shoulder. Infiernomon yelped in pain and flew backward into Darkgreymon, who slashed him with his claw. Infiernomon flew back to Darknexismon. Darkgreymon and Darknexismon seemed to be playing "tennis" with Infiernomon.

"Horn Buster!" A yellow beam shot through the air and ran over Infiernomon. Infiernomon plummeted into the sea.

Darkgreymon looked to see Megakabuterimon fly into view with the Digi Destined. 'I remember that digimon. He must be with my former Digi Destined friends.' Darkgreymon thought. "Don't ever but into a fight of mine! Gaia Destroyer!" Darkgreymon launched another gray energy ball.

Megakabuterimon gasped as the ball connected into his stomach, making him instantly turn to Tentomon. The Digi Destined and their digimon plummeted through the air. They were going to hit a glacier below.

"NOO!" The digimon yelled out. Gatomon turned back to Salamon. Suddenly, they each glowed the color of their partner's crests.

"Patamon, warp digivolve to... Seraphimon!"

"Salamon, warp digivolve to... Magnadramon!"

"Tentomon, warp digivolve to... Herculeskabuterimon!"

"Biyomon, warp digivolve to... Phoenixmon!"

"Gomamon, warp digivolve to... Marineangemon!"

"Palmon, warp digivolve to... Rosemon!"

All of the Digi Destined's digimon could now reach their mega forms! The ones that could fly scooped up the Digi Destined before they could fall onto the glacier. Magnadramon fell onto the glacier and totally ripped it in half with her body. Marineangemon followed and fell into the ocean next to Magnadramon. Marineangemon swam quickly through the water and spotted the EDD.

"The EDD! I've got to destroy them now before they wake up!"

Suddenly, Dabomon woke up from Magnadramon crashing into the glacier and heard Marineangemon say that. 'Oh no, he'll destroy them! I'm the only one left. I've got to do it. I've got to do it for Carlos!' Suddenly, Dabomon shined white. Marineangemon looked down at the glowing digimon.

"Dabomon, warp digivolve to..." Dabomon grew into a huge serpent the size of Magnadramon. A long, short fin like that of an eel ran down his back. He turned a solid blue color and a mane of darker blue hair came from behind his neck. Two fins came from the side of his body and another pair of fins appeared by the tail. A short black ball appeared at the tip of the digimon's tail. Finally, two black horns came from the mane of hair and pointed the same way as the head. "...Koronomon!"

Marineangemon backed up a bit. "Who is that?"

Koronomon looked down at Marineangemon. "I am Koronomon, a mega digimon. I shoot through the water like a torpedo and use my Terra Slam attack to crush all enemies." Koronomon dove out of the water and shot at Marineangemon...

Darknexismon and Darkgreymon faced each other. "Why did you go after Infiernomon first, instead of me?" Darknexismon asked curiously.

"Hmph, I wanted an easier challenge first. I could easily pick off that digimon, and then face someone of my caliber. Now, enough talk. Time to die!"

"AAAAHHHHH!!" The yell pierced through the air and echoed for miles. The yell startled the two DigiGods. Suddenly, a geyser of water shot up and Infiernomon appeared in the air before Darkgreymon and Darknexismon. "Infiernomon, digivolve to..." Infiernomon shrunk back to a human size. Again, the digimon was on fire. Black boots appeared over his feet. Two wings shot from the digimon's back. They were ripped and looked very much like Metalgreymon's. The wings were black and on fire, which was black. A gigantic sword appeared in the digimon's hands. "...Hellmon!"

Darknexismon stood at Hellmon wide-eyed. "Now he's a DigiGod?!"

Darkgreymon 'smiled.' "DigiGod or not, he's still dead!" Darkgreymon charged at Hellmon. Hellmon easily dodged Darkgreymon's outstretched claw.

"Flame Blade!" Hellmon's sword went on fire and Hellmon swiped at Darkgreymon. He caught him in the stomach and flipped Darkgreymon over his head. Darkgreymon landed into the water below.

"Now, Darknexismon. Do you like my new form?" Hellmon asked Darknexismon mysteriously.

Darknexismon crossed his arms. "As Darkgreymon said, DigiGod or not, you'll still die."

Hellmon laughed for a short while. "Wrong answer, Darknexismon! Hell's Rage!" Huge geysers of lava erupted from the bottom of the ocean and connected against Darknexismon. Darknexismon slashed at the lava with his blade. Soon enough, the geysers went back into the ground.

"Nice, Hellmon. Though, I am tired of these fun and games."

Hellmon wondered what he meant. Before he could ask, Darknexismon flew away from the battle. "Damn!" Hellmon started to fly after Darknexismon.

Moments later, Darkgreymon erupted from the ocean and flew after Hellmon. The chase has begun.
