Story Three: Encounter


"So, you sure you don't want to come back with us?" Davis asked.

Ken nodded. "Wormmon and I will clean up any other bad guys. We'll turn in in a few hours."

Tai shot a glance at him. "You may need some help. Greymon and I will go with you."

"That won't be necessary." Ken replied. "Wormmon and I can handle this."

"It's not safe to be here by yourself." Tai was determined. "Either I'm coming with you, or you're not going."

Ken sighed. "Fine."

So, the four good guys headed off, looking around for any signs of Digimon. All of them had fled, apparently, but Digimon weren't the only scum in the forest.

"Welcome back, boys." Greeted a voice. Ken and Tai turned to see Xanatos and DemiDevimon, waving to them and laughing.

"Xanatos!" Tai growled. "Are you ready to lose again?"

"You'll have to catch me, first." Xanatos replied. With that, he and DemiDevimon high-tailed it through the forest.

"We can get them." Tai said simply. "Digi-volve, Agumon!"

"Agumon, Digi-volve to…" Agumon changed from an orange, lizard-like creature, to an even bigger, orange, lizard-like creature, only with a more dinosaur-like appearance, stripes, a horn, and too many other things. "Greymon!"

Tai, Ken, and Wormmon climbed onto Greymon, and sped off after Xanatos. It didn't take them very long to catch up, as they found Xanatos and DemiDevimon back where his old base was.

"You really are quite foolish." Xanatos told them. "You walked right into a trap."

"We're ready for your Digimon." Tai told him.

Xanatos smiled evilly. "Not this Digimon…" He turned to the mountain behind him. "Why not make yourself known?"

The mountain began to rumble and shake, as rocks fell off it. A sickening crack filled the air, as the mountain split in two. A large, dark creature stood within the wreckage.

It was mostly black, with long blonde hair, and horns, as well as long, extended arms and legs that ended in claws. Its body resembled that of a demon's, but it had another title.

"No…" Tai gasped in surprise. "Tell me it's not…"

"Diaboromon!" the creature replied.

Xanatos laughed again. "This is my new ally. He is a Mega level Digimon, which helps me gain the necessary power to conquer the Digital world. In exchange, I have given him you."

"You stole my victory." Diaboromon told Tai. "You took from me the glorious chaos of my plan. But, since I can not conquer the internet, I feel I will just conquer the Digital world. But, before I do, I think I'll take you two prisoner!"

"Not without a fight, you won't!" Tai replied. "Greymon, Digi-volve."

"You too, Wormmon." Ken told his Digimon.

"Greymon, Digi-volve to…" Greymon's body soon became full of robotic enhancements, on his arm, his legs, his chest, his head, as well as he grew a set of metallic wings on his back. The end result: "MetalGreymon!"

"Wormmon, Digi-volve to…" the tiny green worm changed into an even greener insect warrior, known only as: "Stingmon!"

"Let's get 'em!" Xanatos grinned. DemiDevimon digi-volved to Devimon, and the two devilish Digimon faced off against the good guys.

"I'll handle Devimon." Stingmon assured MetalGreymon. "Try to hold out."

MetalGreymon nodded. "Got it."

"Evil Wing!" Devimon charged, wing forward.

"Cable Crusher!" Diaboromon launched a long extending arm.

"Spiking Strike!" Stingmon slammed his energy blade into Devimon, sending the evil Digimon crashing against a rock.

"Mega Claw!" MetalGreymon launched his mechanical fist into Diaboromon's arm, stopping the attack. "Giga Blaster!"

MetalGreymon launched the twin missiles from his chest, right at Diaboromon.

"Web Wrecker!" Diaboromon's chest opened up, and he shot a blast of purple energy forward, which incinerated MetalGreymon's missiles, before slamming the Ultimate Digimon all the way back to Koromon.

"Spiking Strike!" Stingmon tried the attack, but was struck by the Cable Crusher, reverting back to Wormmon, unconscious.

Tai and Ken looked up as Diaboromon, Xanatos, and Devimon all approached.

"Are we dead?" Ken asked.

"Far from it." Diaboromon replied. "I wouldn't want you to die before the rest of your team did."

Tai's eyes dilated in horror. "You wouldn't."

Diaboromon grinned. "You are only the beginning. Soon, the others will fall, and we shall reign supreme, as it was meant to be!"

Ken and Tai looked at each other, and they knew that the horror had only begun…
