CHAPTER III
"Here's your friend" DarkAngemon abruptly throws TK into the cell where Tai, Izzy, and the other are. "TK, are you all right" Sora slides to the young Digidestinied. "I want Matt...." TK sobbed on Sora's lap. "Calm down TK. I'm sure Matt is going to get us out from here" she tried to assure TK. "Six down, two more to go" Tai sighed. One by one the digidestinies are captured. It just only a matter of time before Devimon lay his hand upon James and Matt.
At private meeting room.
Etemon and Devimon were already waiting for DarkAngemon to arrive. "DarkAngemon shouldn't go by himself. I know he would fail" Etemon spoken. "You don't know him much Etemon, DarkAngemon would never be defeated".
"I'm apologize for my late arrival, my lord" Dark Angemon entered the meeting room. (*Battle Chess, black knight on the move)
He knelt before Devimon. "Arise my friend" Devimon spoken. "I assume you bring us some good news DarkAngemon" Etemon demanded. "The digidestinied Takeru Takaishi has been captured. But I was unable to get Yamato and James". "As you see Devimon, your minion is no better than mine. I suggest you-" Suddenly Etemon gasped for air as DarkAngemon raise its hand.
"I find" Dark Angemon hissed. "This lack of faith is disturbing". "Enough of this DarkAngemon, release him" Devimon said. "As you wish". As Dark Angemon draw his hand, Etemon's breathing become normal. But its wary gaze never left Dark Angemon.
"Bickery among ourself will never get us anywhere. Etemon, send your best air unit. I want every piece of this land scouted" Devimon ordered. "Fine" Etemon leave the meeting room.
"There is something I want to say master". "Yes Dark Angemon ?". "You may have felt this also" Dark Angemon said. There's a pause before Devimon finally replied. "Yes I feel it too". "Terramon has returned" Dark Angemon reported. "In this case it must not be allowed to escape". "Escape is not Terramon's plan. I have to deal with him personally". "Passion my friend, passion. You always have difficulties of showing them. By the time, Terramon would surely come to you".
Meanwhile. The remaining Digidestinies have found a new safe spot under thick canopy of jungle. They know that staying at the same spot after being discovered is not a good idea. On that new safe place, they make some planning on what to do next.
"OK guys, we have two choice. Sneak to Etemon's base to rescue our friend or we can sit here, keep running until we are all captured" James spoken. "I say we go to the first one" Matt said. "Same here" Sephy said. "Anyway, this is not going to be easy. We have to sneak in, that's the hardest part". "I'll create a distraction with Bahamon while you guys get inside. I'll meet you inside the base" Sephy advised. "Good idea. Once we get inside, we'll rescue the other then get out of that place" James said. "Sounds simple" Sephy commented. "Yeah. But not that simple. One wrong move, we're done for". "One more question, how can we communicate to each other ?" Matt asked. "Use your digivice. I hope Izzy already modify all of them" Sephy replied. The three were agreed to rescue their captured friends. They know this is not an easy task. But that's the best thing they can do now, besides there's saying; 'If you got nothing, you got nothing to lose'.
(*Final Fantasy VII, Tifa's 7th Heaven theme)
"I guess now Etemon send everything he got to find us" Matt looked at the sky. This is the fourth time he saw a formation of Kuwagamons passed by. "That's good. Etemon's base should be more vulnerable to infiltrate" James said. He sit next to Matt. "I'm worried about Tai and TK" Matt sighed. "Don't worry Matt, Etemon is not going to do anything to them as long as it haven't got all of us" James is trying to reassure Matt. "Go to sleep Matt, you need it" He said. "Yeah" Matt lay down and try to get some sleep.
"So James, I never expect to see you around. Especially as my replacement" Sephy spoken. "Me too. I never expect to meet you" James said. "About the infiltration, please be careful James. This is not a game like Metal Gear Solid where you can save your progress and reload if failed". It is clear that Sephy is concerned about his brother. "I know. But I can't let my friend suffers on Etemon's imprisonment". "You're right. But I also have different reason to come here" Sephy said. "What was it then". "You don't need to know". The two went silence. Sephy took a small ball from his jacket. "James, I want you to have this" He put the ball on James's hand. "Wow, a PokeBall. What's inside". "Your favourite pokemon, Arbok".
James unleash the pokeball contains. "CHARBOK !" Arbok hissed as its unleashed from the pokeball. "Arbok. From now on, my brother James will be your master. Please obey him" Sephy spoken to Arbok. "I understand" Arbok replied. "Wow, a talikng Arbok" James admires his new Arbok. "Yeah, I teach it to speak".
"Tai.....". "Huh ?" James looked around. ".....Tai......Be safe". "Matt's dreaming about Tai" Sephy informed. "Bro. Do you think BoyLove is....normal ?" James asked. "There's no definate answer for that James. Normal or not can only be told by the one who involved". "What about you Sephy ?. You surely have some opinion about this" James inquired. "To be honest...... No, Never mind" Sephy shook his head. As his brother, James could sense something is wrong about Sephy. "Tell me sephy, I'm your brother. I won't tell anyone". "OK..... I might be a gay....... I love Izzy. But I never express it to him". "How about Tifa, your girlfriend ?". "That's what I'm thinking about".
THE END OF CHAPTER III
CHAPTER IV
The sun is not yet risen over the horizon. But the dark is brighter now.
"Wake up Matt" James shakes Matt's body. "Huh ?" Matt opened his eyes. "We got a Mission Impossible to do, remember ?". "Mission Impossible ?. Oh yeah, the mission". It's amazing that Matt instantly feels refreshed.
Minutes later, on NeoBahamon's back.
"That's Etemon's base" NeoBahamon warned. It soars on the sky with Sephy, James, Matt and Gabumon on its back. "As I predicted, their defense is rather weak" James whispered. "This is it, no turning back" Sephy said. "Yes. Etemon...... Prepare for trouble" James started (Pokemon's Team Rocket Song).
"And make it double" Matt added.
James: "To protect the world from devastation".
Matt: "To unite all people within our nation".
James: "To denounce the evils of truth and love".
Matt: "To extend our reach to the stars above".
James: "James Kojiro".
Matt: "Yamato Ishida".
James: "Digidestinied blast off at the speed of light".
Matt: "Surrender now or prepare to fight".
Gabumon: "Yes, that's right".
NeoBahamon landed to drop Matt, Gabumon, and James. "I'll disable their Power Generator once I get inside. We meet again at the Main Gate after you rescue our friends" Sephy said. "OK. Good luck Sephy. And may the force be with you" Matt said. "Thanks. Good luck to you two" Sephy and NeoBahamon hit the sky again.
James, Matt and Gabumon sneaked around to reach Etemon's base outer perimeter. "Sephy, they are in position" NeoBahamon noticed. "OK" Sephy looked at his wrist watch. "Time 4.50. Operation Mission Impossible is just begin" He announced.
Two Gazimons are working behind the radar screen on Etemon's Base control room. "Kuwagamon group Beta and DarkBirdramon Alpha just returning to base. They found nothing". "Affirm". There is an unusual sudden blink on the radar screen. "Hey, I got something" One of them spoken. "It looks like DarkBirdramon. But 250 mph ?. Dark Birdramon is only 170 mph fast".
An explosion causes the base to rumble slightly, it also activate the warning alarm. "What the hell is that ?" Etemon entered the control room. "Sir, we got attacker" The Gazimon shows an image of Neobahamon with Sephy on its back. (*Airwolf Opening Theme). "Scramble all of our air units. Activate Pepper Breath and Nova Blast cannons. Shoot them down !" Etemon ordered.
"Sephiroth, we got some company !" NeoBahamon warned. "What are they ?" Sephy asked. "Kuwgamons and DarkBirdramons at one one o'clock low and 12 o'clock low". Indeed, Sephy spotted the incoming interceptors at tight formation with near spacing. "Here we go again. Sephiroth digivolve to Terramon" Sephy digivolved. NeoBahamon acts like a bomber plane while Terramon act as its turret, ready to fend off any close interceptors.
An unlucky Kuwagamon downed when its Head on Pass failed, NeoBahamon's Flare shot it down. "NeoBahamon. Break right !" Terramon shouted. Rather sluggish, NeoBahamon perform Break Right maneuver. A DarkBirdramon cross pass Terramon's sight. Couple of Prominence Beams immediately terminate its efforts. "Terramon, we're outnumbered !!" NeoBahamon yelled. "Don't worry, you can take a couple of Meteor Wings hit-". An explosion on NeoBahamon's side cut Terramon's words. "I think we're in trouble" it looked at NeoBahamon's wound. "That was a Mega Flare.... Uh oh, A Tiamon ahead !!" NeoBahamon warned. "We are in trouble".
"OK Garurumon, move as fast as you can" Matt ordered. He and James ride upon its back. "Hang on tight" Garurumon dashed toward the base unnoticed. An opening for ventilation is their destination. "Now Garurumon, de-digivolve !" Matt ordered. Garurumon de-digivolve just in time when they reached the ventilation opening. "Here we come. Please hold on Tai, TK" Matt slipped to the opening. Gabumon was nearly stuck inside the small opening. It de-digivolve into its original form, Tsunomon to solve the problem. James is the last one to slip inside.
"Sephy, we're in" A voice burst out from Sephy's digivice. "Copy that James". "This is it Terramon, good luck". "Yeah, good luck to you too" Terramon extend its wings the dive down toward another ventilation opening on the base's top. About a meter from the base's top, Terramon de-digivolve to its human form. Sephy infiltrated the base. "James, I'm in" He contact James.
"Tai, I got several transmissions on James and Matt's digivice" Izzy whispered softly so that the guard won't heard him. "Are they captured ?" Tai asked in rather helpless tone. "No, they are going to get us out of here". "Only them ?". "No, there's another" Izzy cannot hide his feeling of relief anymore. "Who ?" Tai asked simply. "Our old friend has returned, the eighth digidestinied". "Wait.... Isn't james the eighth digidestinied....... No.... James was the ninth" Tai thought. "You mean Sephiroth ?" He asked. "None other". As Izzy replied, the light on the room goes off for a while, then a weak dim appeared. "What ?... What happened ?" Joe asked. "I beleive their power generator was down then the secondary power generator activated" Izzy explained.
Blazing fire scorched troughout the main Power Generator room as Terramon blows it to smitherens with its Prominence Beam. He's about to release the captured digimons when he feel a grave disturbances.
THE END OF CHAPTER IV
CHAPTER V: DARK SIDE AGAINST LIGHT SIDE
"I'm getting dizzy. All corridor looks the same" James examined the map of Etemon's Base. "James, take a look at this" Matt found an observation window. The two looked trought the glass window. "Hey, there they are" Matt said in relief tone. They are above the Maximum Security Prisoner Chamber. "Should we bust in ?" Gabumon asked. "Yup. Arbok ?". "Charbok !" Arbok come to James's side. "Break the glass the wipe out all of the guards with your Poison Needles" James instructed. Arbok nod its head.
With a tail swipe, Arbok break the glass window. Ten Gazimons alerted by the sounds. They are trying to face the unknown attacker. "I never saw a digimon like that" A gazimon said. "I am not a digimon. I am pokemon. Poison Needles !!" Arbok spits thousands of poisonous needles to the Gazimons. In just seconds, they are fainted.
"Whoa !!" Tai surprised to see Arbok. He become scared as it slides to the cell. "Don't eat me !!" Mimi cried. "I hate snake !!" Joe also cried. Arbok smashed the cell's barred door.
(*Pokemon's Team Rocket Song)
"Prepare for trouble" James jumped from the broken window.
"And make it double" Matt follow James.
James: "To protect the world from devastation".
Matt: "To unite all people within our nation".
James: "To denounce the evils of truth and love".
Matt: "To extend our reach to the stars above".
James: "James Kojiro".
Matt: "Yamato Ishida".
James: "Digidestinied blast off at the speed of light".
Matt: "Surrender now or prepare to fight".
Gabumon: "Yes, that's right".
"MATT !!" Tai and TK cheered almost in unison. "Hey, take it easy" Matt untied his brother and Tai. "Izzy, Joe are you OK ?" James untied Izzy and Joe. "Thanks James. This rope is killing my wrist" Izzy rubs his wrist. Sora and Mimi are also untied. "Now let's get your digimons back" Matt said. "No need, we're here !" Agumon shows itself from the corridor. Behind it, are Tentomon, Palmon, Biyomon, and Gomamon. "Who release you ?" Tai asked Agumon. "Sephy" Agumon replied simply.
Meanwhile.
The grave disturbances Sephiroth feels is getting worse. He digivolved to Terramon. "I have been waiting for you Terramon" DarkAngemon slowly visible across the corridor. "We meet again at last" It intoned solemnly. With a blade on hand, DarkAngemon move closer to Terramon. "The DigiWorld is small eh, DarkAngemon ?" Terramon moved to face Dark Angemon. By instinct, Terramon morph his right hand to form a metallic blade.
"It is small indeed...... The circle is now complete. I was once your student, now I am the master". The two assume their fighting position. They are ellegant as English gentlemen swordsmen. Several minutes followed without motion as the two digimons remained staring at each other, as if waiting for proper, yet unspoken signal.
Terramon's eyes watered a little. It remember its past. They used to be friends until Devimon seduce one of them to the dark side.
Executing a move of incredible swiftness, Terramon lunged at his opponent. Dark Angemon blocked the stab with equal speed , riposting with counterslash that Terramon barely parried. Another parry and Terramon countered again, using this opportunity to move around the Dark Angemon.
The two warrior continue to trading blows and moved toward the main gate. "Look, Terramon !" Matt spotted them. "Help him !!" Izzy shouted. "NO, DON'T !!!" Terramon warned. Dark Angemon took this as an opportunity. It lunged its blade toward Terramon's chest. the blade penetrate Terramon cleanly. As it losing power, it de-digivolve back to Sephiroth. "Prepare yourself" Dark Angemon is about to perform a Coup De Grace (Finishing Blow). "NOOOO !!!!" Tokomon cried. TK's crest and his digivice shines brightly. "Tokomon..... Digivolve to...... Angemon !".
"You will not kill him !!" Angemon's staff block DarkAngemon's attack. "YOU !!!". "Yes, Hand of Fate !" Angemon let go its deadly blow to DarkAngemon. Never expect such strong attack, DarkAngemon throwed across the corridor. Angemon carried nearly lifeless body of Sephy. "Lets bust out of here !" James ordered.
As they went outside. NeoBahamon fall from the sky like a piece of brick, it de-digivolve to Bahamon. "Bahamon !!" James carried his fainted digimon. "Angemon, clear our escape" TK instructed. "With pleasure" Angemon fly higher. "Prominence Beams !!" Multiple Prominence Beams streaked from Angemon's hands toward Tiamon. "We'll help" Biyomon and Tentomon digivolve to their Champion form.
The Digidestinies make their escape to the Koromon village they crossed before.
Sephy is laid on a bed inside of of Koromon's houses, he's still unconcious. Joe is checking his condition. "Will he survive ?" James asked. "I think so, DarkAngemon's attack didn't struck his vital body parts. But he need times to recover" Joe replied. "Phew, that's good" Matt sighed in relief. Joe and Matt left the room, leaving James and Izzy to keep Sephy accompanied.
"Izzy.... No, never mind" James hesitated. "You look tired James. Why don't you take a rest while I'll watch Sephy" Izzy suggested. "Yeah" James walked outside.
"I thought you were done for Sephy". Koushiro Izumi can't hold his feeling any longer. "I was afraid...... Afraid of you are.....dead" Izzy's eyes watered slightly. "I wouldn't die so easily" Sephy whispered. He has regained himself. "Hmmm ?.... Why are you crying ?" Sephy looked at Izzy's watered eyes. "I thought I'm going to lose you" Now Izzy is really crying. "You..... are.....the only...... one I cared so much..... since.... my parent's death". Izzy was an adopted kid. His real parents deceased in car accident. "You are a big boy Izzy, don't cry" Sephy strokes Izzy's hair softly. "I.... I love you Sephy...... Sephiroth". There's a moment of silent before Sephy spoken. "I.... (Sephy's thought: What should I do ?. I loved him, but what about Tifa...... I love her too. What the heck) Izzy..... I love you too". "Sephy......". The two looked at each other before their lips finally meet.
Outside the room. "Congratulation bro...." James listened to everything they said.
"Here's your friend" DarkAngemon abruptly throws TK into the cell where Tai, Izzy, and the other are. "TK, are you all right" Sora slides to the young Digidestinied. "I want Matt...." TK sobbed on Sora's lap. "Calm down TK. I'm sure Matt is going to get us out from here" she tried to assure TK. "Six down, two more to go" Tai sighed. One by one the digidestinies are captured. It just only a matter of time before Devimon lay his hand upon James and Matt.
At private meeting room.
Etemon and Devimon were already waiting for DarkAngemon to arrive. "DarkAngemon shouldn't go by himself. I know he would fail" Etemon spoken. "You don't know him much Etemon, DarkAngemon would never be defeated".
"I'm apologize for my late arrival, my lord" Dark Angemon entered the meeting room. (*Battle Chess, black knight on the move)

"I find" Dark Angemon hissed. "This lack of faith is disturbing". "Enough of this DarkAngemon, release him" Devimon said. "As you wish". As Dark Angemon draw his hand, Etemon's breathing become normal. But its wary gaze never left Dark Angemon.
"Bickery among ourself will never get us anywhere. Etemon, send your best air unit. I want every piece of this land scouted" Devimon ordered. "Fine" Etemon leave the meeting room.
"There is something I want to say master". "Yes Dark Angemon ?". "You may have felt this also" Dark Angemon said. There's a pause before Devimon finally replied. "Yes I feel it too". "Terramon has returned" Dark Angemon reported. "In this case it must not be allowed to escape". "Escape is not Terramon's plan. I have to deal with him personally". "Passion my friend, passion. You always have difficulties of showing them. By the time, Terramon would surely come to you".
Meanwhile. The remaining Digidestinies have found a new safe spot under thick canopy of jungle. They know that staying at the same spot after being discovered is not a good idea. On that new safe place, they make some planning on what to do next.

Gabumon: "Yes, that's right".
"MATT !!" Tai and TK cheered almost in unison. "Hey, take it easy" Matt untied his brother and Tai. "Izzy, Joe are you OK ?" James untied Izzy and Joe. "Thanks James. This rope is killing my wrist" Izzy rubs his wrist. Sora and Mimi are also untied. "Now let's get your digimons back" Matt said. "No need, we're here !" Agumon shows itself from the corridor. Behind it, are Tentomon, Palmon, Biyomon, and Gomamon. "Who release you ?" Tai asked Agumon. "Sephy" Agumon replied simply.
Meanwhile.
The grave disturbances Sephiroth feels is getting worse. He digivolved to Terramon. "I have been waiting for you Terramon" DarkAngemon slowly visible across the corridor. "We meet again at last" It intoned solemnly. With a blade on hand, DarkAngemon move closer to Terramon. "The DigiWorld is small eh, DarkAngemon ?" Terramon moved to face Dark Angemon. By instinct, Terramon morph his right hand to form a metallic blade.
"It is small indeed...... The circle is now complete. I was once your student, now I am the master". The two assume their fighting position. They are ellegant as English gentlemen swordsmen. Several minutes followed without motion as the two digimons remained staring at each other, as if waiting for proper, yet unspoken signal.
Terramon's eyes watered a little. It remember its past. They used to be friends until Devimon seduce one of them to the dark side.
Executing a move of incredible swiftness, Terramon lunged at his opponent. Dark Angemon blocked the stab with equal speed , riposting with counterslash that Terramon barely parried. Another parry and Terramon countered again, using this opportunity to move around the Dark Angemon.
The two warrior continue to trading blows and moved toward the main gate. "Look, Terramon !" Matt spotted them. "Help him !!" Izzy shouted. "NO, DON'T !!!" Terramon warned. Dark Angemon took this as an opportunity. It lunged its blade toward Terramon's chest. the blade penetrate Terramon cleanly. As it losing power, it de-digivolve back to Sephiroth. "Prepare yourself" Dark Angemon is about to perform a Coup De Grace (Finishing Blow). "NOOOO !!!!" Tokomon cried. TK's crest and his digivice shines brightly. "Tokomon..... Digivolve to...... Angemon !".
"You will not kill him !!" Angemon's staff block DarkAngemon's attack. "YOU !!!". "Yes, Hand of Fate !" Angemon let go its deadly blow to DarkAngemon. Never expect such strong attack, DarkAngemon throwed across the corridor. Angemon carried nearly lifeless body of Sephy. "Lets bust out of here !" James ordered.
As they went outside. NeoBahamon fall from the sky like a piece of brick, it de-digivolve to Bahamon. "Bahamon !!" James carried his fainted digimon. "Angemon, clear our escape" TK instructed. "With pleasure" Angemon fly higher. "Prominence Beams !!" Multiple Prominence Beams streaked from Angemon's hands toward Tiamon. "We'll help" Biyomon and Tentomon digivolve to their Champion form.
The Digidestinies make their escape to the Koromon village they crossed before.
Sephy is laid on a bed inside of of Koromon's houses, he's still unconcious. Joe is checking his condition. "Will he survive ?" James asked. "I think so, DarkAngemon's attack didn't struck his vital body parts. But he need times to recover" Joe replied. "Phew, that's good" Matt sighed in relief. Joe and Matt left the room, leaving James and Izzy to keep Sephy accompanied.
"Izzy.... No, never mind" James hesitated. "You look tired James. Why don't you take a rest while I'll watch Sephy" Izzy suggested. "Yeah" James walked outside.
"I thought you were done for Sephy". Koushiro Izumi can't hold his feeling any longer. "I was afraid...... Afraid of you are.....dead" Izzy's eyes watered slightly. "I wouldn't die so easily" Sephy whispered. He has regained himself. "Hmmm ?.... Why are you crying ?" Sephy looked at Izzy's watered eyes. "I thought I'm going to lose you" Now Izzy is really crying. "You..... are.....the only...... one I cared so much..... since.... my parent's death". Izzy was an adopted kid. His real parents deceased in car accident. "You are a big boy Izzy, don't cry" Sephy strokes Izzy's hair softly. "I.... I love you Sephy...... Sephiroth". There's a moment of silent before Sephy spoken. "I.... (Sephy's thought: What should I do ?. I loved him, but what about Tifa...... I love her too. What the heck) Izzy..... I love you too". "Sephy......". The two looked at each other before their lips finally meet.
Outside the room. "Congratulation bro...." James listened to everything they said.
