Digimon: Darkness Returns

It had happened in a blink of an eye. SYNCHRONIZED ATTACKS, WORLD WIDE. We managed to stop the attack at the mall, but there was another attack somewhere in the town. All over the world Digimon were attacking, but not really destroying anything if they could help it. They just wanted the humans inline so they wouldn't be a bother. Valerie, Natalie and I were still at the mall watching everything from a television. Something flashed across the screen and I stood and walked over to it.
"Cody what did you see?" Valerie asked, terrified like Natalie and me.
"Shh! Watch the screen." The screen was showing Digimon fighting with the mititary forces from around the world. One showed attacks in Ireland, attacks in Canada, and attacks all over the US. I scanned the screens and froze the satilite TV. "Look at that!" I said triumphantly, pointing to a corner on the Ireland screen.
"It's..... kids. They're running away from those Digimon chasing them." Natalie said. Angemon was hovering outside the store on guard detail. Stingmon was down the hall oneway and Frigimon was down the other way.
"No, no. Look over here." I froze another screen and pointed. "It's a little blurred, but I think we all know what that is!"
"What the hell? That's a black ring! How.... that other Digidestined you were telling us about! The evil one!" I just nodded and pointed to the Canada screen and the US screen and froze them.
"I think it's a big coincedence that six kids are running from Rookie Digimon, in seperate countries. I think we have four new Digidestined."
"What? You said that there was six kids!" Valerie said worryingly.
"Yes, but I recognized two of those Rookies, they were Betamon and Agumon. Davy and Liana's Digimon. We are screwed if all nine of us don't get together and stop this."
Natalie shifted around to get a better look at the screen. "How can we stop all these worldwide attacks?"
"Oh, notice how the Digimon are postioned." I walked over to a computer and typed in an access code that Lenny had taught me to use, it was burned into every harddrive. It brought up a map of the world. "Look, it's not worldwide in a sense. There are two Digimon attacks here in Texas, two in San Diego, two in Ireland and.....shit!" Both of them ran over to look when I started it, and they reached me seconds before I swore.
"What?" They both asked, looking over my shoulder and at the screen.
"There's two attacks in New Hampshire. I think I've figured this out." I stepped away from the screen so they had an easier view of it. "Look. Two attacks in each area where there are Digidestined. But, whoever planned this, i.e. Mr. Digimon Emperor, he didn't plan on my being here. He expected me to be alone. Look, one Digimon group in the town, and one group on the outskirts of the town. Backup in case the Alpha team fails. Beta team would move in and finish the job." As if on cue, the back wall exploded into flames.
"Stingmon!"
"Frigimon!"
"Patamon!" All of us cried out our Digimons' name and they came to the enterance of the store.
"Hurry, Cody. Get them out of there!"
"Right, Stingmon! Just hold them off!" I grabbed both of them by the hands and tore them from their viewing postions at the computer. "Hurry up you two! Valerie now, or I'll tell Natalie what you did yesterday!"
"Coming!" Valerie cried out, I couldn't tell if it was because of the Digimon or the threat. We reached the walkway in the mall. I pushed them both onto a bench and fell down beside them. "Don't ever tell anyone that!" Valerie said as she still held my hand.
"It was an empty threat, I didn't want to lose you."
"Who are those Digimon?" Natalie asked, out of breath from screaming and running at the same time.
"Well, one of them is Andromon. He's an Ultimate Digimon that's an android, but you probably guessed he was an android. His attacks are Gatling Blast and Lightning blade. I don't why he's attacking, he's a good Digimon."
"I think he has a black ring on him. Look!" Valerie said pointing into the store. Andromon's back was facing us and he had a black ring on his neck. "His chest plate was blocking it from the front. And the other two Digimon are Raremon. I don't know if either of you know, but, I can't tell which one is worse: they're looks or they're breath!"
"Breath of Decay!"
"Breath of Decay!" They cried at intervals and they spat out brownish greenish stuff at our Digimon sending them flying out of the store.
"How can they even be in here!? They're so large!" Natalie cried out, hiding behind the bench.
"They're like slugs and worms, the can lengthen or shorten themselves." I said while grabbing Valerie and pulling her behind the bench for whatever little protection it would offer us. "I don't think this is going to work alot!" I said as they shot more brownish fluid at us. It melted the bench into a puddle of goo. "um.....RUN!" I shouted.
"Lightning Blade!" The roof collapsed down in front of us, blocking our escape. We turned and ran the other way.
"Gatling Blast!" His chest plate opened and two little missles flew out and opened their mouths, revealing little gatling guns. They fired and then, hit the roof where they fired, causing it to cave in.
"Shit! We're trapped!" Valerie was beside me shaking with fear, I realized I was too. "Okay... Stingmon! They're not evil Digimon!"
"Breath of Decay!" It flew past Stingmon's head.
"Really? Fooled me! Rapid Kick!"
"Stingmon! They're wearing black rings! Andromon's is on his back! Go for him first!"
"Allow me!" Frigimon said, running up behind Andromon and pulling his arm back and releasing his attack. "Sub Zero Ice Punch!" It hit the dark ring and shattered it like a lightbulb hitting cement.
"Restarting..... Loading... Loading.... Loading..."
"What the hell is he? A Playstation?" I said staring up at him.
"Loaded. I am Andromon. How may I be of service?"
"Yeah! Attack the Raremon!" Natalie cried out, pointing over to them. Angemon was beating one with his golden staff. Stingmon was still kicking the one.
"Okay. I can do that." His eyes glowed blue. "Gatling Blast!"
"Stingmon, Angemon! Get out of there!" They hopped out of the way as four missles swung past them and hit the Raremon in their backs, throwing them face down on the floor. A Dark Ring emerged from their slimy backs and broke in halves. The Raremon stood slowly, shaking their heads.
"What? How did we get here?" I walked up to Stingmon and the Raremon.
"There is a dark Digidestined, he's trying to be a Digimon Emperor. He wants to take over the worlds. You two were captured by him, I guess. He put a dark ring on each of you. We should send you back to the Digital World. You too Andromon." Our Digimon dedigevolved and slumped to the ground.
"Howdy, kids!" A man ran up to us. "You did a good job. Which one of you first realized that the Digimon were being controlled?"
"I did, when we were watching the TV. Who are you?"
"Danny. I'm Danny. Nice job, Cody. I am a counterpart of Gennai's. He sent me here to help you guys out." He walked into Radio Shack and we followed him in. "Hold your Digivices up to this screen." He said pointing to the computer I used to bring up the map. We took our Digivices, the ones that were rectanglular, and held them against the screen. The screen flashed white and then, we couldn't see for a second. When we opened our eyes, our Digivices had changed.
"Whoa! How did we get D-3's?" Valerie asked, holding her gray and white D3. Natalie's was pink and white. I held mine and looked at it. It was the same as Valerie's, except the gray was a couple shades darker on mine. I've seen this before, I know I have. I thought to myself. Oh well, I have enough on my mind for now. Worry about it later.
"The power from the Digital World changed them so you could combat the Digimon Emperor. You can now enter the Digital World to get around quicker. But, I wouldn't advise you to fight the Emperor now. You need to go get the other Digidestined. Only with the nine of you can you win against him."
"How come the other Digidestined didn't help us last time? With Manticoremon?" I asked.
"They weren't yet ready." He said.
"Who are the others?" Valerie asked.
"Oh, you know all of them. Tara and Kason are the Digidestined in Ireland."
"You're joking right? It can't be them! Can it?" Natalie asked. "And by the way who's Kason?"
"Kason is a friend of Tara's. I've only seen him in chat once or twice." I said.
"The two in Canada are Christy and Ryan. Now, go. Don't dawdle in the Digital World. Go to David and Liana first so you have an even team. People you're familar with. Then you can decide where to go to next."
"Right." I put my Digivice back up to the screen. "Thank you. Digiport open!" We were pulled into the Digital World. We landed in the Digital World softly. I looked around and saw trees blowing softly in a breeze.
"Too bad we can't stay here for awhile." I said, looking over to the others. Our Digimon were at our sides. I walked over to the small screen we came out of and I chose a Digiport for us to go through. "Here. This one will take us right outside San Diego. See these little blips? Those are Davy and Liana."
"Oh, Davy, I'll save you and then I know you'll love me then." Natalie said dreamily.
"Right.........." Valerie said. "Natalie I think you got some issues. HE DOESN'T LOVE YOU!"
"YES HE DOES!" Natalie screamed angrily.
"Oh-kay, right. Let's go." I said. "Here we go!" I reactivated the screen and we were pulled through again.
* * *
We came out of a laptop computer that was in a computer store.
"Well, we're here." Valerie said. We could hear screaming and crying. We stepped out of the store and into a small street. We were in the outskirts of San Diego. There were people scattered about the street.
"A prison yard...." I said almost to myself. "Man, this really sucks. I don't fuckin' believe this."
"Cody? Come on. It's not that bad, we can win." Valerie said, putting her hand on my shoulder.
"It's not the Digimon, yesterday and this morning was so great. It was just you and me, together. Now, we have to defeat the Digimon again."
"With all of us together, we'll defeat the Digimon and their Emperor." Natalie said. I looked around, the people were hurt. Children were crying into their parents' shoulders as the parents held back tears of their own. Some people were laying down, struggling to breath. I ran over to a group of kids who were alone.
"Hey! You should go find your moms and dads."
"We can't find them." Kid 1 said sadly.
"Those Digimon have this whole area blocked off." Kid 2 said while starting to cry.
"Yeah, it's not just this street!" Kid 3 held her charred doll to her chest for comfort.
"There's this whole two blocks of city!" An older kid said. He was probably 13 or 14.
"What's your name kid?" I asked him.
"Shawn." He replied.
"Listen, Shawn. I need you to go get all the kids on this street and get them into that computer store over there." I pointed to it. "When you run out of room in that store, just go down the line okay? Leave the people that are injured, but only if they're hurt bad."
"Why? Shouldn't I get everyone?"
"No, sometimes if people are hurt in their backs or neck or head, they can be hurt much worse if they're moved. I'm sure their are EMT, Emergancy Medical Technichians, around here somewhere. Cody and I will send them to here if we find them. Just go get the kids and their parents in those stores as fast as you can, Shawn." Valerie said. Shawn nodded and ran towards a group of people. I turned to Natalie. She was looking at all the people around the street.
"Natalie? I want you to stay here and help. We'll send Liana to you when we find here." I said to her.
"Why do I have to stay here?" She asked, disappointed.
"Because, we need someone and their Digimon to stay here to protect them, in case those brainwashed Digimon get orders or the idea to attack these people. This is the most important thing right now. We need you to do this Natalie."
"Okay. Patamon, you better digevolve." She nodded as she spoke.
"Patamon...digevolve to..... Angemon!" All the people, kids and adults, screamed at the sight of the new Digimon. But, Valerie and I were already running off down the street. We turned a corner and slammed right into a Digimon.
"I don't suppose you're a nice Digimon are you?" I asked sarcasticly.
"Nope. I'm Starmon. And you two look like runaways from my corral. Nothing a little Meteor Shower won't fix." He held his arms high above his head. "Meteor Shower!" A black hole opened in the sky.
"Wormon digevolve to.....Stingmon!" Wormon shouted as he digevolved. "Spiking Strike!" Before he could strike, the hailstorm of meteors came crashing down, hitting the ground causing explosions and dust storms.
"Get down Valerie!" I said while tackling her to the side.
"Ahh!" She exclaimed. The ground exploded where we were just standing.
"Thank me later. Run!" I said while helping her up. "Stingmon, hold him off and then run after us!"
"Ice Blast!" A beam of blue ice cut through the air and smacked Starmon backwards. Liana came running over to us. Davy was right behind her. They were waving their arms frantically, trying to get our attention.
"Blaze Blast!" A fireball shot seconds after it and shattered the dar ring that was around Starmon's waist. He fell over onto the ground. We all gathered around him.
"Gee, I'm mighty sorry about that folks. I don't know what got into me."
"It's not what got into you, it's what got on you." I said holding a piece of shattered dark ring.
"How is he making those things?" Davy asked, even though he knew that none of us knew the answer. We all helped Starmon up.
"Sorry about this, but you need to go back home." Liana said as she opened a laptop and opened a Digiport with her....... light green D3?
"How'd you get a D3?" I asked.
"Oh, you-know-who was back this morning. He gave us the D3's. We already finished the other Digimon before you got here." Davy said. "Good to see you guys again. How're ya guys?"
"DAVY!!!" Natalie cried as she came around the corner. She jumped into his arms and put her arms around his neck. She wrapped her legs around his back. "Davy, Davy, Davy! Davy, Davy, Davy! Davy, Davy, Davy! Davy, Davy, Davy! Davy, Davy, Davy! Davy, Davy, Davy! Davy, Davy, Davy!" She shouted over and over. She was rocking back and forth, and then, he fell over.
"Davy! Clingmon's back!" Agumon said. Everyone but Davy and Natalie laughed. Davy crawled out from under Natalie.
"I noticed!" He said, his voice was raspy.
"I love you Davy!" Natalie cried out while standing.
"Stop it, guys!" I shouted, everyone froze. "We don't have much time. We don't have time for comments from the peanut gallery, got it Natalie? We have alot to do and not alot of time. Liana? Davy? Do you guys know about the other Digidestined?" I asked them.
"Other Digidestined?" Liana asked.
"There's more like us? Cool." Davy said. "Who are they, dude?" He asked me.
"I'll explain on the way. A Digiport might take to long, so we're going to be traveling by Digimon." I said and they all were shocked at what I said. "What? It's not any Digimon. Show them Wormon!"
"Wormon warp-digevolve to.......... Imperialdramon!"
"Did all of you forget I have Jetmon for a Digimon? He can go anywhere in the blink of an eye! Open the passenger doors, Imperialdramon!" He used his tractor beam and pulled us in.
