Izzy sat at his computer, reading
an e-mail from the other Digi-destined. It stated that their fears had
been confirmed: Diaboromon had returned. As Izzy was about to reply, his
screen went blank, and was replaced with Diaboromon's image.
"Do you like playing games?" Diaboromon
asked, straight through the computer. "Well, I do. How about a little game
of…havoc? I want you Digi-destined to know…I have once again conquered
the internet. But, more so then that, I have control of your Digi-port.
The other Digi-destined can not leave."
"Oh, really?" Izzy asked. "Then,
I guess we'll have to go into the net after you."
Diaboromon grinned. "Excellent. I
am eager to battle, so what say we take things up a notch? You have thirty
minutes. If you don't stop me within that time, this Digi-port, and every
other Digi-port are closed permanently. Good luck…hahahaha."
Izzy watched Diaboromon flicker off
the screen. He then quickly typed an e-mail to the Digi-destined.
"We've got mail from Izzy." Davis
said. "He says Diaboromon's in the internet! He's blocking the Digi-port,
and we have 30 minutes until he closes it permanently!"
"Does he suggest we do anything?"
Cody asked.
"He says we should contact Gennai.
According to Izzy, he'll be here shortly." Kari read off Davis' D-Terminal.
"Sorry I took so long." At that point,
a formerly old, now young man entered. "Izzy claims that Diaboromon's threatening
the internet again. He's asked me to send you and your Digimon in to go
battle him."
"Sound's great. When do we leave?"
Davis asked.
"Well, that's the problem. I only
have enough power to send three humans and three Digimon at one time. After
that, it'll take 25 minutes to recharge, which will only give you enough
time to send a group of three."
"Okay, who's going?" Davis asked.
"That should be obvious." Yolei replied.
"Cerac, Kari, and T.K. will go. They're the only ones with Ultimate level
Digimon. They'll stand a better chance."
"Yolei's right." Cody agreed.
"You three will go."
"All right." Gennai turned to the
chosen three. "Your destination has allready been imprinted, and that's
inside the Digi-port computer system. You'll automatically be taken there.
It'll take about four minutes for you to arrive. Are you ready?"
"Yes." T.K. nodded. "We're ready."
"Wait, we'd better Digi-volve first."
Cerac suggested. "Diaboromon's pretty fast, and it takes too long for us
to Digi-volve."
"I agree." Kari said simply. She
turned to her Digimon partner. "Ready, Gatomon?"
"As I'll ever be." Gatomon nodded.
"Mushroomon, Digi-volve to…" Mushroomon
began the three, as he changed from his mushroom form into that of a warrior
Digimon clothed in armor and scarf, bearing a sword on his back. "Ninjamon!"
"Patamon, Digi-volve to…" Patamon
changed from a small, winged, hamster-like creature into a humanoid, six-winged
angel Digimon, bearing a rod in one hand. "Angemon."
"Gatomon, Digi-volve to…" Gatomon
changed into her ultimate form, very similar to Patamon's, only female,
otherwise known as: "Angewomon."
"If you would, please enter those
teleporters." Gennai requested, indicating three large platforms, which
they headed over to. "Now, sit back, and enjoy the ride." With that, Gennai
hit a switch somewhere, and the six disappeared in a flash of light.
"I'm supposed to be the leader."
Davis muttered. "How come I never get to do any real fighting?"
In the internet connection to the
Digi-port, the three Digi-destined and their Digimon flew through a complex
system of tunnels, all leading into the information super highway. Ironically,
there was no 'highway' as they simply floated through tunnels composed
of digital information.
"How much further?" Cerac called
to T.K.
T.K. checked his watch. "About two
more minutes." He looked down at Angemon. "Do you think we should Digi-volve
again?"
"Only if necessary." Angemon replied.
"At the moment, neither I nor Ninjamon have enough energy to Digi-volve."
"We're approaching our destination."
Kari told them. T.K. checked his watch. She was right, as only 30 seconds
remained. They went by surprisingly quick, as they enter a large room,
which had several platforms floating within it. A large timer floated above
them, which read '24:32' and was slowly going down. Diaboromon sat admist
the platforms, clearly waiting for the Digi-destined.
"So good of you to come." Diaboromon
greeted. "I have been waiting for a chance to destroy you, and here it
is."
"I don't think so." Ninjamon replied.
"Koga Star!" He then chucked a few ninja stars at Diaboromon, smacking
the devilish creature upside the head.
Diaboromon quickly recovered, and
he opened his chest. "Web Wrecker!" He fired the blast of energy from his
chest, but Ninjamon leaped to avoid it.
"Hand of Fate!" Angemon shot a blast
of energy from his hand. Diaboromon extended his arm, and grabbed onto
the side of the web-created area. He swung away, with just enough time
to avoid the attack.
"Heaven's Charm!" Angewomon followed
it up with a series of hand motions, and she sent forth a blast of multicolored
energy. Diaboromon was fast, but was caught by the side of the blast, leaving
a sign on his shoulder.
"No way I'm letting those Digimon
have all the fun." Cerac said, as he drew his sword. "Yo! Devil guy! Bring
it on!"
Diaboromon turned to Cerac. "You
wish to battle again?"
"Sure thing!" Cerac shot at Diaboromon,
with every intention of defeating him.
"Not if I have anything to say about
it!" at that point, Cerac was intercepted, as Xanatos and Devimon leaped
in, seemingly from out of nowhere.
"You!" T.K. snarled. "Get him, Angemon!"
"Angel Staff!" Angemon began swinging
his rod around, and began pummeling Devimon with it.
"Cable Crusher!" Diaboromon intervened,
as he shot his arm forward, slamming Angemon against a 'wall'.
"Celestial Arrow!" Angewomon shot
a spear of light from her bow, which struck Diaboromon, sending the unidentified
Digimon crashing into one of the floating platforms.
"Death Claw!" Devimon shot at Angewomon,
claw poised for attack.
"That's no way to treat a lady!"
Ninjamon called. "Ninja Blade!" He slashed his sword at Devimon, striking
the devil away.
"I think we can take them." Angemon
told the others. "Ready to Digi-volve, Ninjamon?"
The ninja Digimon nodded. "As I'll
ever be."
"Just Digi-volve!" Cerac called.
"Ninjamon, Digi-volve to…" Ninjamon
shrunk into the small, pink-furred, six-winged, spear-wielding ultimate
Digimon that everyone loved. "Piximon!"
"Angemon, Digi-volve to…" Angemon
changed from his usual angel form, into an armor-clad warrior, holding
an energy blade on one wrist gauntlet, as well as a number of other useful
tools. Looking overall really cool, Angemon had emerged as: "MagnaAngemon."
"Let's get him." MagnaAngemon said
simply.
"Pit Bomb!" Piximon flung a small,
winged creature from his spear, which exploded onto Devimon, sending the
evil Digimon crashing straight through a platform.
"Let's get the other one." Angewomon
suggested.
"Try me! Cable Crusher!" Diaboromon
extended his arms once again. "After all, only fifteen more seconds until
victory is mine!"
The humans gasped, and looked over
at the clock. Indeed, it was counting down.
13…
Caught by surprise, MagnaAngemon
and Angewomon were slammed by the Cable Crusher, held against the wall.
10…
Devimon began to attack Piximon,
holding the little creature.
8…
Cerac charged forward, hoping to
attack Diaboromon in enough time. T.K. and Kari followed behind him.
6…
Xanatos leapt in the way, tackling
Cerac into T.K., knocking all of them down.
4…
Everyone watched helplessly, as Diaboromon
and Xanatos began to laugh insanely.
3…
Everyone soon became aware of a new
presence, as a darkened figure leaped from behind Diaboromon.
2…
Then, with less than a second to
spare, a sword appeared, straight through Diaboromon's head.
"Connection…terminated." Whispered
a voice from behind Diaboromon. The monstrosity fell down, leaving a dark
warrior in his place.
"Oh, my god…" T.K. whispered, as
he realized who it was.
"Alex?"
