Chapter One: The Crystals

Taylor, Simon, Michael, Cubmon, Sasha, Tripupmon, Summer, Monomon, Derek, Pondmon, Alley, and Sparkmon all headed out of the mountain where they found their DigiGems. There, Taylor's Bugmon had Digivolved to Spidmon and kicked the other Digimon's butts and then the other kids' DigiGems changed into various objects they had left behind.

Now, the twelve kids had decided to go check in on Agumon to see how he was doing.

To their surprises, they found the orange Dinosaur not too far away from the entrance to the mountain.

"Did you find the DigiGems?" asked Agumon.

Taylor nodded and revealed his DigiGem, the only one that hadn't changed. "Yup, and then Bugmon Digivolved to Spidmon . . . but then it Digivolved back to Simon."

Agumon smiled. "Well then it's the beginning of a beginning."

"Huh?" asked all of the stunned kids.

"Your Digimon Digivolved," said Agumon. "The powers of Digivolving has been restored. You'll be able to match the enemies' power. When your DigiGem of Light reactivated the Digivices, you defeated the enemies right."

"All five of them." Taylor picked up Simon happily.

"And what about us five, ya know over here!" Derek jumped up and down waving his arms. "Our DigiGems haven't done nuttin!"

"In time, your crystals will all activate and your Digimon will all Digivolve," said Agumon.

"When!" cried Derek.

"Never!" Suddenly, eight Digimon all appeared from the forest and emerged with eight familiar humans.

"It's them," growled Taylor.

"Yes, it's us Taylor," growled Jason, the one who controlled IronWeb Sectomon. "And now, we're going to defeat you!"

"Get your Digimon to grow up!" murmured Sasha.

Simon began glowing and growing. "Simon Digivolved to . . . Bugmon."

The small Digimon began growing too. "Agumon warp Digivolved to . . . WarGreymon!"

"How about it goes up a bit more," suggested Summer.

Bugmon continued glowing. "Bugmon Digivolved to . . . Spidmon!"

"A Mega and a Champion versus eight of us," growled Jason. "Pathetic!"

"Terra Force!" shouted WarGreymon, creating a giant ball of fire.

"Spider Fang Rockets!" growled Spidmon, shooting two rockets at the enemy group.

"Iron Spider Rockets!" growled IronWeb Sectomon, shooting two iron rockets at Spidmon's blocking the attack.

"Wrath of the Sea!" Oceanmon turned to liquid and dived at WarGreymon's Terra Force, putting it out.

"It's just a simple procedure," said Erik, as he walked from his Joltmon, "we're just here for your DigiGems!" He glared at Taylor. "So just hand them over now!"

Chapter Two: Trapped

"Yeah right!" shouted Monomon. "We'll never hand them over to you!"

"Monomon," whispered Summer, "shut up." She turned towards Erik. "Erik, remember I'm your sister, I'm your friend. Don't fight against us."

"Who are you?" asked Erik. "I only know you ask the Light DigiDestined." Erik turned to his Digimon. "Joltmon, get them out of here!"

"Static Convey!" Joltmon created giant static bubbles and headed towards the six kids and their six Digimon.

"I don't think so! Web Wall!" Spidmon sprayed a wall of web blocking the two incoming bubbles that were coming to capture Taylor and Spidmon.

"Help!" cried the other five Digimon, as the giant static balls hit them and encased them in the static bubble continuing to shock them.

"Help!" shouted the other kids, also encased in the static bubble and continuing to be shocked.

"No," moaned Taylor. "They're trapped." He glanced at WarGreymon. "Can you get them out of here?"

"Mega Claw!" But the attack was useless against the electricity as the other five and their five Digimon all cried in pain in their static bubbles.

Joltmon nodded and the static bubbles all popped teleporting them away, just as Pondmon teleported them away before.

Jason turned to the other Champion Digimon. "Everyone, do it! Aim their attacks to WarGreymon!"

"Iron Spider Rockets!" growled IronWeb Sectomon, launching the iron rockets.

"Grizzly Quake!" growled Grizzlymon, stomping his foot on the ground and creating a giant earthquake.

"Underworld Wrath!" growled Cerberusmon, as its claw shot underground.

"Banana Slip!" growled Baboomon, as it hurled banana peels that created a slimy substance that made the floor slippery.

"Wrath of the Sea!" growled Oceanmon, as it transformed into water and lunged at WarGreymon.

"Electro Punch!" growled Joltmon, as it shot a punch of electricity at WarGreymon.

"Horn Rocket!" growled Dark Ponymon, as its horn shot a rocket at WarGreymon.

"Hydra Terror!" growled Hydramon, creating a loud blast of energy at WarGreymon.

The eight attacks combined and hit WarGreymon. WarGreymon began glowing and slowly began shattering away.

"No!" shouted Taylor.

"We'll meet again, all of us . . ." WarGreymon shattered into millions of pieces and floating away.

Jason glanced at the others. "You may leave now. While you defeat the others and get their DigiGems, I'll steal the Crystal of Light from Taylor here."

"Right!" said James, as he glanced at his glowing Digimon, who was beginning to shrink. "Get us out of here."

When Oceanmon stopped shrinking, it was surprising to reveal the form of . . . Pondmon! "Aquatic Teleport!" It shot bubbles at the other seven Digimon and seven kids, teleporting them away.

Jason glared at Taylor. "It's just us now. Me, you, and our Digimon."

"Iron Ropes!" growled IronWeb Sectomon.

Spidmon jumped out of the way, dodging the ropes.

"This shouldn't be too long," growled both IronWeb Sectomon and Jason.

Chapter Three: Captured

THUD!

Still feeling the electricity from the shock, Michael, Cubmon, Sasha, Tripupmon, Summer, Monomon, Derek, Pondmon, Alley, and Sparkmon all ended up in a strange, cave cell-like room.

"Well, that's a big ow," muttered Derek, slowly getting up.

"Double ow," mumbled Sasha and Pondmon from below Derek. "We're under you!"

The group crawled out from the pile and felt the walls for exits. The ten looked around for a visible exit, but couldn't find anything.

"Great," mumbled Tripupmon in a chant. "While we're trapped in here, Taylor and Spidmon are out somewhere battling IronWeb Sectomon."

"It could possibly be worse," murmured Monomon.

"And it gets worse." Suddenly, two kids and two Digimon appeared in front of the group. The girl walked over to the ten. "Karen Banks' the name." She glanced at her small Digimon. "And this is Boamon."

"And I'm Henry Bines," said the second kid. He turned towards his Digimon. "This is Dark Coltmon."

"Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way," said Karen. "Give us your DigiGems, or our Digimon will search you and take the crystals from you!"

"Up yours," growled Summer.

The girl tackled Summer, forcing her to fall to the ground. Monomon, Sasha, and Derek rushed over to her. Sasha glared at Karen. "Girl, you messed with the wrong person." She turned to Monomon. "Get her!"

"Tail Smacker!" growled Monomon, swinging its tail towards Karen.

"Snake Bite!" growled Boamon, and swiftly bit Monomon's tail.

"Ow!" howled Monomon.

"I think Monomon just Digivolved to Howler Monomon," snickered Dark Coltmon. The horse glanced at Henry. "It's time to show them who's boss, right?"

Henry and Karen glanced at each other and nodded. They held up two Digivices, similar to theirs, and shouted, "Right. It's Digivolving time!"

The two Digimon began glowing and growing.

"Dark Coltmon Digivolved to . . . Dark Ponymon!"

"Boamon Digivolved to . . . Hydramon!"

The two Digimon appeared in front of Karen and Henry, growling angrily.

"They have Digivices," murmured Michael. "Just like us, except there's eight of them." He held up his Digivice. "But why aren't ours reacting."

"Slow them down Dark Ponymon," said Henry.

"Stop them Hydramon," said Karen.

"Horn Rocket!" Dark Ponymon shot a giant rocket and created an explosion stopping the others from attacking.

"Screech of Steel!" growled Hydramon, creating a giant screech that paralyzed the others.

"Now wrap them up," said Karen.

Hydramon wrapped himself around them, trapping the five kids and five Digimon.

"Now," said Henry, "every minute you don't give up the DigiGems, we shall make Hydramon wrap itself tighter around you!"

"Don't give up the crystals!" ordered Pondmon. "If you do, they'll only become stronger!"

"We won't," growled Derek. "You have to find the DigiGems first!"

"Not to worry," said Karen. "One of your DigiGems will react when we touch it. Then the real hell will begin and Dark Ponymon and Hydramon will Digivolve further."

Chapter Four: Spidmon versus IronWeb Sectomon

"Spider Claw!" growled Spidmon, leaping towards IronWeb Sectomon reaching out with its claw.

"Iron Ropes!" said IronWeb Sectomon, shooting out two web-ropes that countered Spidmon's Spider Claw.

Spidmon hopped back down and got ready to fight back. "Spider Fang Rockets!"

"Iron Spider Rockets!" growled IronWeb Sectomon.

The two rockets collided and created a giant explosion.

"Well, it seems your Spidmon's strong Taylor," said Jason. "Of course, Spidmon won't be able to defeat IronWeb Sectomon. He'll always be able to counter all your attacks that you can't even counter. Watch."

"Iron Web Ball!" IronWeb Sectomon launched threw iron balls of webbing at Spidmon, preparing to bombard Taylor's Digimon.

"Web Wall!" Spidmon shot up a wall of webbing, but it didn't block IronWeb Sectomon's attack. Instead, part of the webbing absorbed into the balls and created a bigger bombardment.

Spidmon slowly tried lifting himself up, but suddenly IronWeb Sectomon bashed right into Spidmon slamming Taylor's Digimon into the ground.

Spidmon was beginning to lift himself up, but IronWeb Sectomon crawled over Spidmon, crushing its claw into the ground trapping the Digimon. "Iron Spider Rockets!" The two rockets blasted straight into Spidmon creating an explosion that sent IronWeb Sectomon flying upward and landed lightly on the ground, while Spidmon lay helplessly on the ground.

"Spidmon, now!" cried Taylor, rushing over towards his Digimon. But then suddenly, Jason came out of nowhere and bashed into Taylor forcing him to the ground. As Taylor fell, he dropped his DigiGem and Spidmon slowly Digivolved all the way back to Simon.

Jason stopped over the fallen Taylor and picked up the DigiGem. "I believe that this is no mine." The DigiGem- that had the strange symbol on it that was the symbol of light- flashed with a dark light and the symbol changed into another symbol. "Perfect. The Crystal of Light is now the Crystal of Dark." He held up the DigiGem. "IronWeb Sectomon, through the power of the Dark DigiDestined of Dark and the Crystal of Dark, Digivolve further!"

Suddenly, IronWeb Sectomon began shimmering and becoming extremely glitchy, almost as if it was being forced to Digivolve with the DigiGem. Then, IronWeb Sectomon began glowing again and began growing. Then, Jason's Digimon growled, "IronWeb Sectomon Digivolved to . . ." The iron spider stood up on its hind legs and its other six legs were giant arms. Its metal armor covered over its body and every hand began giant deadly claws. "Metal Arachnosectmon!"

"Eck!" growled Simon, as the small Digimon looked up to the Ultimate form of Sectomon. "Taylor, help me Digivolve!"

Taylor slowly got up and glared at Jason. "Your Digimon can't beat mine!" Taylor's Digivice began glowing.

"Yeah right!" shouted Simon. "As Bugmon, I can run faster!" Simon started glowing and said, "Simon Digivolved to . . . Bugmon!"

"I don't think so." Metal Arachnosectmon's claws dug into the ground creating a deadly earthquake send Bugmon flying up into the air.

"Ah!" cried Bugmon. "Taylor, help me!"

Taylor frowned and turned towards Jason.

Chapter Five: A Chance to Fight Back

Karen frowned. "This is impossible."

"No, I've seen impossible things," said Henry. "This is beyond impossible, plus it blows!" He kicked a small rock. "Nothing's reacting."

Summer stuck out her tongue. "It just goes to show that these crystals are ours and not your crystals."

Dark Ponymon walked over to Henry. "I have a logical suggestion about what might be wrong. I could be wrong too."

"What," hissed Henry.

"From what it seems," said Dark Ponymon, "it's one of two things: Since their DigiGems have transformed into something else, the powers of the crystals could have been deadened until a point. There's also a chance that these aren't your DigiGems since there are only six of them, and eight of you Dark DigiDestined."

"Great," growled Karen. "Well, once their dead the DigiGems should return to their normal crystal forms and we'll find out if they're our crystals." She sighed and glanced at Hydramon. "What should we do Hydramon?"

"I say Baboomon should get out here," suggested Hydramon. "Which ever DigiGems changes to the Crystal of Reckless shall transform Baboomon to its Ultimate form."

Henry nodded and held its Digivice to his mouth. "Lily, get out her and bring your Digimon!"

Michael frowned as Lily appeared, accompanied by a monkey Digimon.

She glanced at her Digimon. "Spider Lemon, it's Digivolving time!"

"Spider Lemon," repeated Summer. "I wonder if that has something to do with Monomon's previous form, Lemon."

"Spider Lemon Digivolved to . . . Baboomon."

Lily walked over to the other ten and walked over to the kids. She felt around and tried touching every object that may have been disguised as her DigiGem. It had been awhile, but the last person left was Summer.

"You'll have to get through me to Digivolve," growled Monomon, trying to protect Summer. Monomon was laying in her lap, ready to use its Tail Smacker.

"Touch her and you'll have to face my Monkey Bash!" Baboomon stuck out its tongue and pulled down the bottom of its eyelid. "Nah-nah!"

Monomon slouched down.

As Lily approached Summer, her watch began glowing bright. Lily quickly pulled herself away and the watch stopped glowing. Summer glanced at her watch and noticed there was a small crystal in the center of it. Lily noticed this too.

"Ha," said Lily, and grabbed Summer's wrist. "So this is where my DigiGem is hidden." As Lily was about to take the watch, it suddenly lit up brightly and somehow created a force that pushed Lily away. The watch also made Hydramon uncoil and slam against the wall of the cave/cell.

Then, the crystal began lighting up and as did Monomon.

Chapter Six: Primemon's Appearance

"Monomon Digivolved to . . ." Monomon began glowing and grew into a giant gorilla creature. It grew giant muscles, and had two banana-like clubs in its hands. It looked a little familiar, kinda like Baboomon. "Primemon!"

Summer smiled happily. "Primemon! Yeah! Monomon Digivolved!"

Hydramon, Dark Ponymon, and Baboomon all slowly pulled themselves together, getting ready to attack.

Derek frowned. "Why can't Pondmon Digivolve?"

"It's not my fault," muttered Pondmon. "I try the best I can."

"Everyone get back," ordered Primemon to the others. "Except Summer, I'll need your help."

Karen, Lily, and Henry stood firmly behind their Digimon. Lily walked up and growled, "Even if Baboomon doesn't Digivolve we can still beat you!"

"Horn Rocket!" growled Dark Ponymon.

"Poison Needle Shower!" growled Hydramon.

The two attacks went flying towards Summer's Primemon, but the Digimon was ready to attack. "Those attacks are useless against my attack! Banana Club!" Primemon hurled the two clubs towards the two Digimon. The Banana Club attack blocked the two attacks and slammed right into Dark Ponymon and Hydramon's face.

Baboomon walked over to the club that had landed in the wall. Baboomon tried pulling the club out of the wall, but it seemed impossible.

As Baboomon was about to turn around and try an attack, there was an angry growl that said, "Monkey Fist!"

Primemon punched Baboomon right in the face, slamming it into the wall.

The three kids went to their Digimon and tried calming them down. Lily turned towards Summer. "There will be a time when we meet again! But that time is not now." She held up her Digivice and growled, "Get us out of here now!"

A Pondmon (who was probably a slave) appeared and created an Aquatic Teleport and sent the three kids and their Digimon away.

As soon as they left, their cave/cell disappeared and the five kids and Digimon (Primemon had Digivolved back to Monomon) were out in the middle of nowhere.

* * * *

Taylor tried lunging at Jason, but he had easily managed to evade the attack.

"You think I'm going to fall for a pathetic attempt of a tackle." Jason turned to his Metal Arachnosectmon. "I'd be more worried about Bugmon, if I were you."

Jason Digimon had Bugmon spinning around on the tip of its claw like a basketball. "Rocket Claw!" The claw that Bugmon was on was launched off Metal Arachnosectmon's claw and jettisoned Bugmon upward. Bugmon soon fell to the ground.

"Bugmon!" cried Taylor.

"Fury Claws!" growled Metal Arachnosectmon. The spider Digimon's six arms were furiously swiping at Bugmon, slicing and dicing it. Then, Jason's Digimon tossed Bugmon aside. "Now I'll just stomp on you and destroy you."

"No!" Taylor leaped at Bugmon and had managed to save Bugmon before Jason's Digimon crushed Taylor's. Taylor picked up Bugmon and rushed away from Metal Arachnosectmon and darted towards Jason. "YOU!"

Jason gasped innocently. "Who, me?"

Taylor put Bugmon down and tried tackling Jason, but fell to the ground as he missed.

Jason put his foot over Taylor. "Now I'm gonna stomp you!"

"Taylor!" Bugmon leaped into the air towards Jason and Taylor. "Web Spray!" Bugmon sprayed its webbing in Jason's face, blinding him.

"Ah!" cried Jason. He flung his arms in pain and dropped the DigiGem.

Bugmon grabbed the crystal in his mouth and tossed it to Taylor. The crystal glowed and changed to the Crystal of Light.

Suddenly, Metal Arachnosectmon began shrinking quickly and shrunk to a somewhat familiar Digimon. It was the Digimon that had Digivolved to Simon. It's name was Sisimon. Then, Bugmon began Digivolving and changed to Spidmon.

"Now who's small now!" growled Spidmon.

Taylor smirked and held up the DigiGem. "Won't be seeing this again, and we won't be seeing Metal Arachnosectmon for a very long time." He gave a little chuckle and glanced at Spidmon.

Jason picked up Sisimon. "We shall meet again." He darted off.

Taylor smiled and glanced at Spidmon. "Now that Jason's gone- for now- we have to find the others."

"Right," said Spidmon. "I think I know where to find them."

This concludes the third episode. Next, Taylor Derek, Michael, Alley, Summer, Sasha, and their Digimon's destinies have been discovered. With this revealed to them, it is also revealed to the Dark DigiDestined. Now the two Champion Digimon and Rookie Digimon must face off seven Champion Digimon (Sisimon's still weak). Find out all this and all in The Legend of the Light DigiDestined. Remember your reviews count. If you enjoy it, say so (if you want) and the series will continue after episode five.
