Part 5:

Last time: Matt and Leomon prepared for an attack by the Dark Masters, Davis and the Bishop Yagami started a search for a Missing Chosen Child, Micheal was defeated by Machinedramon, and T.K.'s team found the key cards.


Matt Ishida couldn't help but feel regret and sadness every time he stood here, even though it happened five years ago. Matt stared at the headstone,"Here lies Taichi 'Tai' Kamiya. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GIVE OF YOURSELF, TO DO THE RIGHT THING. "That is what you told me," he said,"When we fought those bullies during summer camp. Now, I fear I will have to live up to that saying. I have sent my brother to search for the Key Cards that will undo this world, and bring it back to the way I say when I read Leomon's mind. Willace has gone to find Agumon and Mimi's team is searching for your Tag and Crest and your Digivice, just in case we need to fight that...Digimon with the cube as a lower body. Apocalymon, that is what Leomon called him. And to save that world, I may have to sacrifice everything in this world."

"Ishida!" Leomon yelled, pointing a weapon at him,"I'm sorry, but I don't think we have time to reminisce! Might I reminded you that we're out in the open because someone has scanned the perimeter of your defenses system. We are, apparently, about to be attacked!"

"Do not point that weapon at me!" Matt yelled,"Or I will take it away!"

"Sorry," Leomon said, pointing the gun at the ground.

Matt turned around and faced Metalgarurumon and a strange Digimon Leomon had never seen before. "Now listen, Salamon, " Matt said, looking at the white Digimon,"I want you to run into the woods surrounding this camp."

"Why?" she asked.

"Because the trees should provide you with natural cover. I sent Ken and Yolei to search for the Missing Child as soon as we found you, their search would be in vain if you were to be destroyed."

"But Matt.." the small Digimon protested.

"Go!" Matt yelled.

Salamon took one last look at him, then ran as fast as she could into the forest.

"Why did you do that?" Leomon asked.

"We found her a few days before we found you. The Digital Warriors rescued her from one of Machinedramon's slave pens. That's when we found out about the Missing Chosen Child. I sent Ken and Yolei to search for him, but, I'm afraid that the Dark Masters may have been tipped off to that fact, and are searching also."

"We've got trouble," Metalgarurumon said,"I'm picking something up on my radar."

All three of them turned around. "They're here," Matt said.

In front of them, black bubbles were starting to appear, then popping, leaving large dragon type creatures with large wings. "What are those things?" Leomon asked.

"Devidramon!" a sharp, female voice said. Looking up, the trio saw a female figure drop from the sky.

"Lady Devimon," Matt said,"Geneticly engendered by Kido to be the Dark Master's teleporter! Its been a while."

"It sure has," she smiled,"But, I was used to simply bring this wave in. It is not my place to battle you."

Another black bubble appeared around her, and when it popped, she was gone.

"Great," Leomon said, looking at the army of Devidramon,"What now?"

"Watch," Metalgarurumon said, jumping into the air,"Metal Wolf Claw!"

The army of Devidramon never stood a chance, they were instantly vaporized. "I don't believe this!" Leomon said,"That was too easy!"

"Exactly," Metalgarurumon said,"There's another presence on my radar. HE is here, get ready."

The ground in front of the was suddenly blown apart, throwing Leomon one way, and Matt and Metalgarurumon the other. "Ugh," Leomon said, lying on the ground. He turned his head to look at the massive crater that suddenly appeared. It was what was on the other side, that interested him. A massive figure in a suit of metal armor standing over Matt and Metalgarurumon. His black and white face was laughing,"I am everywhere," he said,"I am the Dark Master of Darkness, I am Piedmon!"

"No!" Leomon thought,"I can't let it end like this." He fired his gun that Matt gave him straight at the clown's grinning face.

Piedmon staggered back, but regained himself. "Impossible!" Leomon said,"I had it set on the maximum charge, and there's not even a scratch!"

"That's because I am the strongest Digimon in existence!" Piedmon said, pointing his finger at Leomon,"Clown Trick!"

The ground in front of Leomon was destroyed and he was thrown into the brick wall of the main cabin. He left out a small moan before he passed out.

"Now," Piedmon said, turning back towards Matt and Metalgarurumon, only to find them standing up, ready to attack.

"Metal Wolf Claw!" Metalgarurumon shouted, firing the blast of energy from his mouth.

Piedmon opened his fist and formed a energy shield and blocked the attack. "Not good enough!" he laughed as he grabbed Metalgarurumon and through him. Metalgarurumon hit Matt and the two of them slammed into another brick wall. "Years ago, when we first faced each other, you came the closest to defeating me, however, I escaped, and because of the severity of my injuries, Datamon created this metal suit for me, which gave me more power than I could have ever dreamed! Ironically, because of you, I became stronger!"

He walked over to where Matt and Metalgarurumon were lying on the ground,"And now you are mine!"


Machinedramon was the Dark Master of Technology. His power and army was machines and devices. However, he was also know as the Master of Prison. All prison complex's were under his control, that was his hobby. His pride and joy was the Amur Complex in northern China. Called so because one of the smaller rivers emptying from the Amur River, flowed under the complex, powering its coolant system.

Two guards were standing on an over pass, looking down at the river, when something shot up and quickly took them out. "Great work, Submarimon," Cody said, hopping out of him,"No, where are the others?"

He got his answer when a large splash appeared and the rest climbed onto the over pass. "I hate getting wet," Skullmearamon said.

Saberleomon growled in approval. He started shaking like a dog to get the water off. Which got everyone else even more wet.

"Would you please teach him not to do that?" Palmon asked.

"Why do I have to?" Skullmearamon asked.

"He's your friend, right?"

"Enough," Mimi said, shaking the water from her hair,"We've got to move before reinforces show up!"

The group of Digital Warriors ran down the halls of the prison complex, darting and dodging patrol groups until they reached a large dome structure in the center of the complex. There were three floors, each one with forty cells, crammed full with prisoners.

"Okay," Mimi said,"This is going pretty good. Its been an hour and we're still alive, and we've reached the prisoners. Now, we've got to find Mariko, and where the devil is Micheal?"

As if to answer her question, from the top of the dome, a large chain dropped down with Micheal and Betamon attached to the bottom.

"That answer your question?" Ogremon asked.

"What do we do now?" Cody asked.

"Hmm," Mimi said, studying the Mekanorimons acting as gaurds,"Okay. Cody, Ogremon, Skullmeramon and Saberleomon, go after the guards. I will get Michael down, understand?"

Everyone nodded. "Then let's go!"

"Armadillomon digivolve to Ankylomon!"

"Palmon digivolve to Togemon! Togemon digivolve to Lillymon!"

"Intruders!" the Mekanorimon reported, as they began to attack them.

Lillymon grabbed Mimi and the two of them hovered up to where Michael and Betamon were. "Micheal!" Mimi shouted to be heard over the roar of the battle happening below,"Micheal, hold on, I'll get you out!"

"What's the use," he said,"Just leave me here, I'm useless to you, now."

"What are you talking about?" Lillymon asked.

"Machinedramon did something to Betamon. He can't warp-digivolve anymore. We can't help you anymore."

She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Micheal never, ever, let someone worry about them. He was so reliable, always ready to back someone up. "Micheal," she said, struggling with his bounds as Lillymon kept her afloot,"Where is Machinedramon?"

"Back at the citadel. He didn't even want to hang around, because he knew I wasn't a threat anymore."

"Good," she said,"That means we can win. Micheal, I need you to do something very special. You see all those prisoners down there? I need you to rescue them."

"Someone else can." he said.

"Michael!" Mimi shouted, surprising him,"You've got to! Everyone else is keeping the Mekanorimon busy, I've got to help them! Are you going to let our mission fail?"

He hesitated for a long moment. "No," he said,"I can't. Get me down."

Mimi smiled, triumphantly.

Down below, the battle roared. Saberleomon ripped the guards apart, Skullmearamon burnt their components so they couldn't think. Ogremon and Ankylomon had a more basic approach, they simply smashed their enemies into nothingness.

Micheal ran to the main control panel on the wall. His hand hovered over to main switch. Ever since Machinedramon destroyed New York City, he always wondered why he was spared. Why, out of everyone in his apartment, his street, his block, he was spared. Now, as he hit the switch and opened all the cells, he watched the faces of the prisoners that he, not anyone else in the Digital Warriors freed, he had his answer.

Betamon hopped in between the crowds,"Mariko Fugiama!" he shouted,"We are looking for Marko Fugiama!"

"I am she," someone said, stepping through the crowd towards them. Michael had to blink a couple of time. He was expecting a young woman, but before him was a child, a ten year old girl. A cute ten year old with black hair that reached her shoulders.

"What is it?" Mariko asked.

"I..I'm sorry. I was just expecting someone older," Micheal said, still shocked.

She smiled a sweet smile,"That's okay. What can I do for you?"

"We were sent by Matt Ishida to rescue you. You have something.."

"You mean these?" she asked, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a pendant and a Digivice.

Micheal went even deeper into shock. "Are you a Choosen Child?"

"No," she said,"My father gave me these the day before I was captured. He said they belonged to someone named Tai Kamiya."

"I really don't believe this..." Michael said.

"Micheal," Mimi said, annoyed, dodging blasts from the Mekanorimon,"If you done socializing, I would like to get out of here, before we're killed!"

"Right," he said. He grabbed Mariko's hand,"Let's go."


"What happened here?" T.K. asked, as Genai's transporter beam dropped them off at their base. There was a giant crater in the center of the yard, and several cabins were destroyed.

He suddenly started to run towards the main cabin,"Matt!" he yelled,"Matt!" He looked inside, and his hopes faded. "Gone," he said, walking back out the door,"He's gone."

"T.K.," Sora said,"We checked the rest of the camp, Leomon and Salamon are gone."

"I've finished examining the bodies," Tentomon said,"They're Devidramons."

"But something very powerful had to be here to cause this!" Wizardmon said, mentioning to the smoking crater.

"I am detecting a presence in the forest," Andromon said.

"Who is it?" T.K. asked.

"It appears to be a Rookie Digimon."

"That must be Salamon," Patamon said.

"Wizardmon, Andromon, go and find her, Sora and Izzy, stay here and guard the Key Cards."

"Where are you going?" Izzy asked, as he watched T.K. and Patamon run off.

"To see our friend Fugiama."


Fugiama was just entering his office, when T.K. and Patamon appeared. He quickly pushed them inside before anyone could see.

"What are you doing here?" he hissed.

"Easy!" Patamon warned,"I'm not as weak as you might think."

T.K. ignored both Fugiama's hiss, and Patamon's boast,"I need information. My brother has been kidnapped, along with a new alley of the Digital Warriors, Leomon. Where are they?"

"What makes you think I know?"

"Because you know everything. Now, tell me, or I will get mad!"

Fugiama held up his hands,"Okay. Okay. I just heard it coming over the information channels. Your brother and Leomon were taken down by Piedmon himself!"

"What?" T.K. yelled,"Wh-do you know where they are?"

Fugiama nodded. "Yes, Matt is here, in the heart of the Dark Masters' Citadel, but he is going to be moved soon. Leomon is in the Temple of Dark Magic in northern Japan, so that Bishop Yagami can use her spells to find out who he really is."

"No," T.K. said, smashing his fist onto Fugiama's desk. "Brother...I don't have the man power to invade the Dark Tower. I want to save my brother, but until the other half of our team gets back, we can't do it!"

"T.K.?" Patamon asked.

T.K. straighten up,"We're going after Leomon!"


Willace quietly walked to the first bunker and checked his watch. "Its almost midnight," he said,"Where is she?"

"Were you actually worried about me?"

Willace instictivly jumped the figure and went for the throat. His momentum caused them to roll along on the ground until the hit a pole from one of the lights. "Michelle?" Willace asked, letting go of her throat,"I'm sorry. I...I thought you were..."

"Yeah," she coughed,"No..'cough' problem. I..'cough' I found him."

"You did?" he asked.

She nodded and walked over to another figure in the shadows. "Willace, Terriermon, I would like to introduce you to, Agumon."

"Nice to meet you," the Dinosaur Digimon said,"Now, what can I do for you?"

"I was sent here by Matt Ishida to rescue you."

"Matt?" Agumon asked, his eyes opening wide,"Rescue? Are you serious?"

He nodded. "Yes."

"When?" he asked.

"Anytime you're ready."

"What?" Michelle asked,"What are you talking about?"

"Anytime you're ready."

"What do you mean?" Agumon asked,"We're just going to waltz out the front door?"

"In a way," Willace said. He reached inside his pocket and pulled out a strange object. "Its a good thing that they frisked you before you entered the train, or I would have lost our way out of here."

"What is that?"

"This, is a Digi-egg. More, specifically, a golden Digi-egg. It was given to me by a friend. If you're ready to go.."

Agumon and Michelle nodded at each other. "Uh, sure."

Willace nodded. "Good, Terriermon."

"Terriermon golden armor digivolve to Rapidmon!"

Agumon and Michelle grabbed hold of each other when the alarms started to go off. "Willace!" Michelle screamed,"They're going to get us!"

Willace ran over, grabbed Michelle and Agumon. They both looked towards his face, but it revealed nothing. "This guy IS crazy!" Michelle thought.

Rapidmon grabbed the trio and crouched down. Then, he leaped upwards and started to fly away, dodging every laser blast from the guards.

Once they were out of range, Michelle turned to Willace, being careful that she didn't fall towards the ground. "Um, that was a little too easy, don't you think?"

He shrugged. "Maybe, but, from just looking at the guards when we first arrived, I knew that they were not expecting prisoners to escape from the air, so Rapidmon would get us out easily. Piece of cake!"


Northern Japan...

The Bishop Yagami was the Dark Master of Magic. Her power was the supernatural, and because of that, her army was comprised of the Undead. For example, the Digimon that were chanting over Leomon. They had strapped him to a large table, and were torturing him.

"That is enough, Bakemon!" the Bishop said, walking into the room with a laptop. She placed the laptop on a table next to Leomon. "Now that your mind has been prepared and your normal psychic defenses wiped out," she said,"It is time for your mind to be read, by Diaboramon!"

She opened the laptop and a dark mass floated away from it. It entered into Leomon's nose and eyes, penetrating right to his brain.

"Who are you?" Diaboramon asked as he searched Leomon's memories,"Are you crazy? Or are you something more? Wait, what is this? The day Taichi Kamiya died? You were there? There is more here, you standing beside him, older then he ever was? Your are fighting with a group of...Digital Warriors I have never seen together? Could it be true...you are from another time?"

Diaboramon then flew out of him and back into the laptop. "Well?" the Bishop asked.

"Its true," he said,"Leomon is from another world, one that should have been. We must get the Key Cards away from them! They are the keys to destroying this time line!"

Suddenly, the ceiling blew apart as a large creature flew it.

"Garudamon!" the Bakemon yelled,"And Megakabuterimon! Oh no!"

"Destroy them!" the Bishop yelled.

"Wing Blade!"

"Horn Buster!"

In an instant, all the Bakemon were gone. "They didn't stand a ghost of a chance!" Sora laughed.

Izzy didn't say anything as he untied Leomon. "Come on," he said,"We've got to get out of here while we can."

"Not will not happen," Yagami said, mentioning behind her,"My...associates won't let it."

"That's right," Phantomon said, floating into site.

"I agree!" Dokugugmon said,"Poision Thread!"

"Duck!" Garudamon said, but it was too late. Everyone was twisted and caught in the giant web.

"I'll finish them off!" Phantomon said. He soared over to where Izzy was caught upside down. "You're first! Shadow...."

Phantomon suddenly slammed into the ground. "What just happened?" Yagami shouted. She turned her attention to where Phantomon just was and saw a large creature with flapping wings. "Stingmon?!"

"That's right!" Ken said, from the hole in the ceiling. He and Yolei were riding on top of Aquilamon.

"Now, Aquilamon," Yolei said,"Dogukukumon's yours! Finish him off!"

Aquilamon opened his mouth and fired a stream of read rings at Dogukukmon. He staggered back and his control over his webs weaken.

"I'm free!" Megakabuterimon said, hovering through the ceiling. Garudamon followed, but Sora and Izzy fell to the ground.

"I'll get one of you, Shadow Scythe!" Phantomon said, throwing his weapon up at the Digimon.

"Garudamon!" Sora yelled,"Look out!"

Garudamon didn't have time to move out of the way. Phantomon's scythe hit her in the middle of the chest, and emerged on the other side. She started to fall towards the ground, her body becoming covered in a bright light.

"No," Sora said as Yokomon landed in her arms,"Yokomon, you'll be all right, please."

"I...I'm sorry Sora," Yokomon struggled. Then her eyes closed and she disappeared.

"No!" Sora fell to her knees and started to cry,"She was my best friend."

"Now, while she is distracted," the Bishop said, walking over to her,"I will destroy her with a spell."

She raised her hands, but, when she stared at Sora, she found she couldn't move. "What is wrong with me?" she asked herself,"Why can't I hurt her? Its would be so easy! She's helpless, yet....I...I can't."

"Stingmon!" Ken ordered, still on top of Aquilamon,"Pick up Sora, and let's leave!"

Stingmon swooped down and grabbed their crying member, leaving two unconscious Digimon, and a very confused Dark Master.


It was night when Sora and the others returned to the camp. The good news was that Mimi's group and Willace had returned, and Wizardmon and Andromon found Salamon. The bad news was just starting to come in.

"Well," T.K. said, looking over the complete Digital Warriors,"I just received word from Fguiama, Matt has been moved. We have an idea of where he is, but, its in the Digital World."

"We've got more bad news," Mimi said,"Betamon can no longer warp digivolve, and may not be able to digivolve at all."

"And Sora..." Izzy said,"Sora lost her Digimon all together."

"And we had the Missing Child!" Ken said,"He was at Bishop Yagami's temple! As Matt ordered us to, we were searching, and we got a signal from inside. When we went to investigate, we got involved in rescuing Leomon. The child's not there anymore."

"Great," T.K. said,"What do we do now?"

I'M SORRY FOR THE ABRUPTNESS WITH CERTAIN SECTIONS. PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
