Chapter Eight


Flamedramon, Shurimon, and Stingmon fought the Digimon Arukenimon sent at them.
"Fire Rocket!"
"Double Star!"
"Spiking Strike!"
All three attacks were successful in knocking the Digimon to the ground, but it didn't knock them out.
All three Digimon looked on in amazement when the Digimon got up and charged at them.
"The Virus in these guys must be stronger!", Flamedramon said as he was tackled by Meramon.
"You can say that again!", Shurimon replied as he was kicked by Ninjamon.
"Any ideas or are we just going to keep getting knocked around?!", Stingmon asked as Kuwagamon grabbed him and tossed him into the other Digimon.
Davis, Ken, and Yoelie could only watch as they're Digimon fought....and were losing.
"At what point did we lose control here?!", Davis said.
Ken put his face in his hands.
"This wouldn't be happening if not for me. I should never have agreed to fight the Control Virus."
Yoelie was shocked and enraged by what Ken said.
"Stop blaming yourself for everything evil! You were under Arukenimon's control! Get over it!"
"I can't! What ever I do....I always end up with the darkness in my heart!"
"Then let me help you!"
Ken was surprised by what Yoelie said.
"What do you mean?"
"Lets fight the darkness together. I...love you."
"I.....love you too."
Just then, Flamedramon, Shurimon, and Stingmon began to glow.
"What the...?"
Flamedramon felt his powers increase and his senses become more acute.
"I know why we can't beat these guys! They're Control Spires!"
Flamedramon charged at Kawagamon and drove his claws into him. The red color of Kawagamon was replaced by the blackness of the Control Spire.
"Fire Rocket!"
Flamedramon blasted the Control Spire Digimon while his claws were in him and it was turned to dust.
"Alright! I always s wondered what those claws were for!", Davis cheered.
Stingmon and Shurimon attacked the other two Control Spire Digimon and destroyed them easily.
"I felt my Spiking Strike hit harder then ever before.", Stingmon said to Shurimon.
"It must be the power of love. I felt it going through me even though I'm using the Digi Egg of Sincerity."
Just then, Wardramon, Rapidmon, and Digmon appeared with the other Digidestined.
"Did we miss the fight?", Digmon asked.
Arukenimon stood before them all and glared at them.
"You may have destroyed the Control Spire Digimon, but you won't find me easy to beat!"
Arukenimon transformed to her spider form.
Flamedramon Digivolved back to Veemon and looked at Davis.
"I think it's time to give Arukenimon a history lesson!"
"Right on!"
"Veemon....Digivolve to.....Exveemon."
Exveemon stood next to Stingmon.
"Time to DNA Digivolve!"
Both Stingmon and Exveemon began to glow.
"Exveemon!"
"Stingmon!"
"DNA Digivolve to.....Paildramon!!!"
Arukenimon gulped at the sight of Paildramon.
"We should squash her like the bug she is!", the Stingmon side suggested.
"Good idea! I just hope we don't have to wipe her off our feet after it!", the Exveemon side replied.
Just then, Parrotmon appeared and used his Sonic Destroyer.
Paildramon was blasted into the air but not hurt.
"Hey! We don't sneak up on you like that!"
"It's what I do best!"
Parrotmon swooped down and picked up Arukenimon.
"Until next time Digichumps!"
Paildramon used his Desperado Blaster on Parrotmon as he flew off, but it had no effect.
Paildramon landed and Digivolved back to Veemon and Wormmon.
"I hate it when the bad guys get away!", Veemon said.
"I'm just glad he didn't stick around to fight. He would have mopped the floor with us.", Wormmon added.
Veemon thought about that for a moment.
"He has a floor to mop?"
