The Partial Digidestined, Part II

By takari-critic2001

Wow. I'm not used to waking up on a ground consisting of bits of data. The other Digidestines and the Digimon were scattered around. Eventually, they all woke up.

" Did everyone get here okay?" Tai asked.

" Yeah." We all said individually.

" Now, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Tai demanded.

" Shh!" Gommamon said. " I hear something." Joe stood in some high grass next to a ledge.

" What? Where?" Joe asked. Just then, a little pink blur passed buy Joe and knocked him over the ledge. " Woah!"

The others Digivolved to their most familiar forms to fight the unknown foe, and I got out my steel boe.

" Stop!" Mimi yelled, and went over to the cowering pink mass in the grass. " You can come out, we're not going to hurt you." The pink mouse came out.

" Chumon?" Mimi asked

" Mimi? Mimi! It's nice to see a familiar face." Chumon said.

" Hey, hello? Anyone forgetting, I'm hanging by my hands on the side of this cliff!" Joe yelled.

" Sorry, Joe." I said. Tai, Matt, and I helped him up.

" Chumon, what happened to Sukamon? You two were inseparable." Mimi asked.

" It was awful. When you left, the Digiworld started changing. There were massive earthquakes, and Sukamon couldn't outrun them, and he fell down a crevice. I went down here as soon as it settled to find him." Chumon explained.

" Well, what happened to the digital world?" Tai asked.

" These four Mega-level Digimon warped File Island into Spiral Mountain, who call themselves the Dark Masters." Chumon said. All of the sudden, the ground started to rumble. " It's them! It's the Dark Masters! We got to get out of here!" Chumon cried. We all ran and the ground erupted, revealing a very large serpent.

" Who's that!?" I yelled.

" I am Metalseadramon. My River of Power obliterates my enemies." He said. Everyone went champion, but did little against the serpent. " River of Power!" A large beam came from his snout and blasted the ground. The ground erupted and we fell to another level, unconscious.

I awoke to Angemon's scream as a large metal Digimon blasted him with two powerful blasts. The Digimon analyzer identified him as Machinedramon. Great. Tai ordered all the Digimon to Digivolve into their ultimate forms to fight the Mega. (Except Angemon, who was reverted back to Patomon)

" Giga Cannon" Machinedramon said, and two extremely large energy beams struck the Ultimates, then the ground, causing it to cave in.

We started to fall again, but stopped in midair. " Hey, is everyone okay?" I asked. Weregarurumon and Garudomon were fighting not to far from me.

" Can't you guys cool it?" Matt asked.

" Hey, guys, this is no time to be fighting each other!" Sora said.

" We can't help it! Our bodies are doing it themselves!" The wolf said.

" Someone's controlling us!" Garudomon explained. A small figure laughed at us on a ledge. I looked at my arm. Strings?

" It appears we are being controlled through the next Dark Master." Izzy said, watching his fingers moved without his control.

" Heh heh heh heh!" The figure laughed.

" I assume it's him."

" Very good, I'll punch myself up on your Digimon analyzer." He said. The Puppetmon file came up. " Puppet pummel!" Puppetmon said and his hammer shot out spheres of energy, knocking everyone back to their Rookie or In-Training forms.

I took out my hunting knife and grabbed a nearby ledge. I pushed off, and went around the others. I tilted myself sideways, and ran along the wall, so all the strings tangled into one big one. I propelled towards it and lifted my knife.

" Hey! What are you doing?" Puppetmon demanded.

" Getting us out of here." I said, and cut the mass of strings. And we fell some more.

We finally ended up in a large arena. " Woah, is everyone okay?" Matt asked.

" The Digimon seem a bit tiered." I said.

" Thanks for saving our necks back there." Joe said.

" Don't mention it." I replied.

" Not that it will help you now." A voice said. We all looked at an upcoming clown.

" Hey! It's a clown!" TK said.

" And I'm here to tell a story." The clown said. He took out a diagram with pictures and told this really bogus story on how these Digidestines and a stray orphan got in the way of some other people's plan and got destroyed.

" That wasn't a very good story." TK said.

" Well too bad, cause it's a true one!" The clown said, and he ripped apart revealing another, scarier clown by the name of Piedmon.

" Agumon! Gabumon! Warp Digivolve!" Tai ordered. The Rookies turned into Megas to battle the clown. And the clown wiped the floor with them. " How can he be stronger than two Megas combined?" Tai asked.

" Foolish child. Two inexperienced Megas can't win against us." Piedmon said. The ground erupted, revealing all of the Dark Masters. " Now who will be the first one to perish?"

" Waaaaaah! I don't want to die! I never asked to go to summer camp! I just want to go home, back to my house, and bed, and forget this entire thing!" Mimi cried.

" Your whining annoys me, you shall die first!" Piedmon said, and flicked a dagger at Mimi. Chumon jumped out of her arms and took the dagger. Crazy mouse.

" Chumon!" Mimi cried. " Chumon, speak to me."

" Mimi. Save our world. You can do it. Do it for Sukamon." Chumon said, and dematerialized.

" Chumooooon!" Mimi cried.

" Chumon was a fool. Who's next?"

" Pixie bomb, seek and destroy!" A high-pitched voice cried out. A winged bomb hit Piedmon, and a little pink puffball with wings, holding a spear flew in front of us.

" Pixiemon!" Tai said. Pixiemon formed a force field around us, protecting us from the various attacks used against us." You used the barrier to conceal yourself. Good job, but you said we could save this world if all eight of us are together. How come it's not happening?"

" It is true that all of you combined will be triumphant, but something else also needs to happen! You Digidestines must save our world. I'll distract them long enough for you to escape!" Pixiemon said.

" Pixiemon, no!" Tai said.

" We have no choice!" Pixiemon said, and threw our force field and face the Dark Masters.

" No! Pixiemon!" Someone yelled. I didn't notice. Our field floated for about three minutes and about twenty-two miles from the coliseum, when there was a huge explosion within the structure.

" Do you think he made it?" TK asked.

" I doubt it, TK. But we can hope." Matt replied. About ten minutes later, we were on this beach, and the force field disintegrated. I looked around.

" So, what do we do first?" I asked.

" Well, it seems that our Digimon aren't powerful enough to attack yet." Izzy speculated.

" What do you mean, not strong enough?!" Tai demanded.

" Woah, take it easy, Tai! I think what he's trying to say is your Digimon, or whatever, need a little more experience in their forms before trying to beat these guys." I said.

" And another thing. You're not even supposed to be here! You're worthless." Tai accused.

" I'm not worthless! I got involved as soon as Phantomon looked at my parents the wrong way!" I replied.

" Sky, listen," Matt said.

" No, you listen! I may not supposed to be here, but I am, so live with it. And as long as you're involved, I am. This is my responsibility to, and I don't need a snot-nosed little-"

" Help! Can somebody help me?" a voice said.

" Keep your bickering for later, guys, someone needs our help." Izzy said. We looked over at a figure in a lifesaver tube. I looked at the shore. A well-placed canoe was waiting.

" Come on." I said and motioned towards the canoe.

" Wait, how do we know it's safe?" Kari asked.

" Someone wants our help, and it's a risk we have to take." Matt explained. We all got in the boat, except the Digimon. I took the oars and started rowing.

" Hang on, we're coming!" Tai said. As soon as we got close enough, the figure appeared to be the top of a shell. The Digimon stood up and growled.

" Aah! It's Shellmon!" Tai said. " The last time, Greymon defeated him but he's to pooped to Digivolve now!" Biyomon and Tentomon flew in closer while Gommamon swam to our aide.

" Super Shocker!" " Spiral Twister!" Their attacks all hit Shellmon. Gommamon jumped into the canoe.

" Marching Fishes!" The seal said, and a herd of assorted fish pushed our boat to the shore as Shellmon sunk down, unconscious.

" See? Our Digimon are powerful enough!" Tai said.

" Maybe, but realize that he was outnumbered and taken by surprise." Izzy said. " It was two on one."

" Oh, we'll just take what we can get." He replied. Gabumon sniffed the air.

" Hey do you small that?" He asked.

" Smell what?" Biyomon asked.

" It's the sweet smell of food! It's coming from over there!" Gabumon said and pointed to a small shed.

" Hooray!" " I'm starved!" " Now that you mention it," " Alright, food!" The assorted creatures said. We started to run to the shed. I, too, was feeling hungry, so I ran with the others. While running, Mimi tripped and fell in the sand. Me, Joe, Palmon, and Gommamon helped her up while the others ran inside.

" Hey wait up!" Joe called, and sprinted to the shed with me in front of him. I smelt something wrong. I stopped and put out my arm to stop Mimi and Joe.

" Sky, What're you doing?" Joe asked.

" Shh, something's wrong." I replied. We were about three yards away from the shed and we see the others inside, unconscious, with a large scorpion hovering over them.

The scorpion left, and we investigated. Mimi and Joe went off to battle the scorpion, and I held my breath and ran in. First, I picked up TK and Kari; they were the lightest, and most vulnerable. Next, their Digimon, including everyone else's, all in one trip. Man, these guys were light. I picked up Izzy and Sora next. I looked down at Sora. She has the face of an angel. But I can't be distracted now.

I carefully set her down and went in for Tai and Matt. I slummed each one over my shoulders, and came out seeing TK revived, and Mimi and Joe back with their now Ultimate Digimon. They all looked at me with faces of awe.

" Thanks for getting us out of there, Sky." TK said.

" Don't mention it." I replied. They all revived one by one.

" You owe me one." I said to Tai.

" Not that it matters!" Metalseadramon said from behind us. Lilymon tried taking him on while we retreated on Zudomon.

" You're all in my territory and must be destroyed!" A familiar voice said. Metalseadramon burst out of the water and knocked us off Zudomon. We all struggled to keep afloat. " River of Power!" the Mega attacked, sending Zudomon to his rookie state.

Suddenly, a very, scratch that, an extremely large shadow appeared beneath us. A whale broke the surface of the water, and closed his mouth over us.

" Whamon? What are you doing here? You don't want to get involved." Metalseadramon warned, and Whamon went back under and swam with all his might.

" Alright! Whamon! How ya been buddy?" Tai yelled.

" Wait a minute, a large fish just ate us for supper, and you conversing with it?!" I asked.

" This is no fish, it's Whamon, an old friend." Sora replied.

" And all you friends eat you?" I asked.

" I think it's time we brought Sky and Kari up to date." Izzy said. " Where should I begin?"

Well, time went by, and they told me the story of how they became Digidestines. It was amazing what they went through. We were surfing on the surface when we came to an island and I decided to get some fish. Gatomon already slashed some flying ones into sushi.

" Nice job, Gatomon, but watch and learned how it's done." I said and pulled out my boe. I stood meditating for a while, the, a flash of movement, and I threw my boe.

" You missed." Gatomon said. I picked up my boe with three speared fish on the end. They all looked at me in amazement.

" Did I?" I said and everyone laughed. Palmon used her Poison Ivy to catch a fish that put us all to shame, but collapsed under the weight. Gommamon popped out of the water.

" Guys, Metalseadramon is close by!" He said.

" Great. How're we supposed to beat that guy?" Tai asked.

" I've been analyzing that, and it all comes down to Wargreymon." Izzy explained. Wargreymon appeared on his monitor. He panned down and closed in on the weapons on his arms. " These are the Dra-mon destroyers. The are specially used to destroy Dra-type Digimon."

" Alright! Agumon, you're gonna eat them alive!" Tai exclaimed. Inspired by Tai, Agumon ate Palmon's fish whole.

" That's not what I had in mind." Tai remarked.

" It appears Metalseadramon is two hundred miles behind us. We better get a move on. Hop in!" Whamon said, and we dove to the bottom.

" What's happening?" Kari asked.

" It's Metalseadramon and his Divermon!" Whamon replied. Outside in the water, I heard spears being thrown. " Hang on, I'm going to try a maneuver." Whamon said, and released a lot of air bubbles, so the Divermon couldn't aim. I like this Digimon. Whamon sprinted out and we were going down again.

" I got it!" Izzy said, typing on his laptop.

" Got what?" Tai asked, while we gathering around Izzy.

" I've tapped into Whamon's visual file. What we're seeing is what he's seeing." Izumi explained. A deep canyon approached us. " Whamon!"

" Ten steps ahead of you, Izzy." Whamon said, as he dipped further down in the canyon. The pressure was starting to get to us. Some of the kids were holding their ears.

" Hey, Whamon, the pressure's getting kinda rough down here." I said.

" Say no more. Let me equalize it." Whamon said and air released out his blowhole. " Sorry."
" You're excused." Kari said. A spear passed by Whamon.

" Are they still after us?" Matt asked. Tai punched the wall. " Ugh!"

" Ow!"

" Sorry. I just hate being helpless in here." Tai explained.

" We're not helpless." Whamon said and kept going down. Suddenly, a Divermon's jet collapsed and he floated up.

" Alright! Whamon is built for this kinda pressure, but they aren't!" Tai exclaimed. The others retreated as we continued down the dark gully.

" Don't celebrate yet, Tai. Metalseadramon is coming." Whamon explained. And it has gotten too dark to see.

" We lost visual." Matt said.

" Don't worry, I got it covered." Izzy said. " Kari, come here." Izzy started to whisper to her and she nodded in agreement. She then stood in front of us.

" Tada." She said and held up her whistle from around her neck, took a deep breath, and blew into the whistle. The soundwaves bounced back, revealing a sketch of a cave on Whamon's monitor.

" Whamon, there's a cave up ahead that we can hide in." Izzy said.

" I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. Someone was whistling in my ear, but there's a cave up ahead that we can hide in." Whamon said and entered the cave. We saw hundreds of translucent fish light up the cave. Sora, Mimi, and Kari were all amazed.

" How come girls are always attracted to shiny objects?" Matt wondered. Just then, you know who appeared in the cave, and all the fish scattered.

We started to go up, with Metalseadramon on our tails. We eventually got way ahead and broke the surface of the water in a bay. When Whamon got close to the shore, we exited his body and climbed up on to his top. I don't know about the others, but I enjoyed the fresh air. Suddenly, the water exploded and Metalseadramon appeared.

" Agumon!" Tai ordered, and he warped Digivolved into Wargreymon. The other Digidestines' Digimon Digivolved to get the kids off Whamon. I jumped of and swam for shore. I don't need a Digimon to transport me.

" Whamon, get out of here, you're too big of a target!" Tai said.

" I'm not big, just big boned." Whamon replied as he swam of into a herd of Divermon.

" Joe!" I said.

" Right!" He replied. Tai shot a glance at me. Ikkakumon Digivolved to Zudomon and smashed them all with one Vulcan's Hammer. Wargreymon spiraled into Metalseadramon and bounced off.

" Ha, you can not penetrate my Cromedigizoid armor!" He bragged. He snapped at Wargreymon, and Wargreymon ended up in his mouth. After a while underwater, they emerged in the same position. Metalseadramon seized the opportunity to fire at us.

" River of Power!" He said and fired right at us. I jumped in front of the others. Whamon jumped in front of me.

" Whamon!"

" Wargreymon, finish this!" Tai ordered. Wargreymon spiraled into, through, and out of Metalseadramon.

" So much for your Cromedigizoid armor." He stated.

" Whamon, you alright buddy?" I asked. There was a clear hole right through his body.

" Kids, you're our last hope." He said, as the last remains of him floated away. Metalseadramon started to do the same.

" Look, something's happening to the sea!" Sora said. She was right. Surf's up. The entire sea started to dematerialize, just like Metalseadramon.

" I guess without Metalseadramon, this part of Spiral Mountain can't sustain it's self." Izzy theorized.

" So, now that's he's gone, the Digital world starts to reboot?" I asked.

" Precisely." We wondered what to do next, when we noticed Mimi creating several monuments in the sand.

" Mimi, what are you doing?" Tai asked.

" If you haven't noticed, Tai, a few of our friends are gone!" Matt said. Mimi pointed to various mounds.

" This is Pixiemon's, that one's Wizardmon, and then Whamon. And the last one's for Chumon." She explained. Have we really lost that much in such a short time?

" We don't have time for this, guys. Push ahead and never look back!" Tai stated. Mimi started crying.

" Tai, how can you be so insensitive? These Digimon gave their lives for us, and it's nice every so often to remember them for it!" Matt argued. They charged at each other. I slashed my pole in between them.

" Stop." I ordered. " Tai's partially right. We can't spend all our time in the past, but Matt's right about remembering them every so often. A little vengeance is exactly what this team needs to continue. There are still three more beings out there that need our attention, so let's go." I completed.

" Since when do you give the orders?" Tai demanded.

" Since when did you?" I replied, as we walked into the forest next to the beach.

We walked in silence, partially thinking about the argument, partially wondering what to do next. We eventually came to a clearing. The others looked a bit too tiered.

" Hey, how about a rest?" I asked.

" You tiered?" Tai asked.

" No, but the others are." I motioned to the other kids.

" Alright, we'll take five." Tai said. The started to lie down next to various trees when I heard something. The ground started to move.

" Woah," " Hey," " What's happening?"

" It appears the next Dark Master doesn't want to wait for us to come to him." Izzy said.

" Alright, on the count of three, we jump off." Tai proposed. We jumped off the strip off moving land and onto another, which started to move as soon as we got on. Finally, we stopped in front of a tree.

" All right, everyone," I started and turned around. Gone. All gone.

" Hey, where is everyone?" I asked. Suddenly, Sora appeared in front of me.

" Sky?"

" Sora?" I said, and I switched places. I now stand in front of Joe, who fell in some mud.

" What's going on?" He wondered, as he doubled over and collapsed.

" Ah! Didn't you feel that?"

" Feel what?" I asked, as an invisible force hit me. Hard. I didn't mind, so I stood there as I got hit with two more. I then found myself in another portion of the forest with Mimi.

" Okay, getting a little freaky here." I said. Apparently, the switching spots stopped.

" What just happened?" Mimi asked.

" Mind games courtesy of the Dark Masters." I said. I heard the others off in the distance. " Come on." I ordered.

We all meet, eventually. But TK wasn't there.

" Where's TK?!" Matt demanded.

" Well, he's not here, so we look." I said. " Split up, and bring you're Digimon this time. Report back here in fifteen minutes."

" Hey, I give the orders. I'm the leader." Tai said.

" Then come up with better plans faster." I replied. Mocking Tai has started to become fun.

" Alright. Mimi, you and Joe fan out west. Kari and Sky, go east. Take Patomon. Izzy and Matt go south, and Sora and me will take the north. Fifteen minutes, everyone, let's move!" Tai organized. We split.

I started to look around, when Patomon started to shout.

" TK! TK, where are you?" He shouted. I heard something move in the bushes. I took out my pole.

" Quiet." I said and closed my eyes. The thing started to move.

" Pummel Peck!" A voice shouted and kiwi bullets flew at us. With a twirl of my boe, the bullets were disabled. The voice laughed and ran off.

" Clear." I said. " We better tell the others."

" How did you know where it was?" Izzy said.

" I not only trained my body over the years, Izzy." I replied. We assembled back at the tree.

" Find anything, anyone?" Tai asked.

" Just a snippier." I replied. " Be warned, he's still out there." As if on cue, the rustling in the bushes returned. I sighed and pulled out my pole once more as the Digimon tried to tackle us. I batted him down. He was a small tike, and greatly resembled a kiwi. He laughed.

" Who do you work for?" I demanded.

" I'm not gonna tell you." He said. I slammed my pole down just millimeters above his head.

" We're not here to play games! Who do you work for, and WHERE'S TK?" Matt shouted.

" Matt, he's not gonna say anything until we defeat him." Tai said.

" No! We find TK first, and then we'll fight you're stupid war!" As Matt said this, the Kiwi-mon quickly rolled out and slashed my face.

" You're not gonna beat me!" He mocked. He took a few shots at Tai, which I took. Those things hurt.

" Gabumon Warp-Digivolve to… huh?" Gabumon tried. Matt trembled with his crest in his hand.

" It won't glow!" Matt exclaimed.

Biyomon Digivolved into Birdramon had no choice but to destroy the Kiwi-mon. That was probably his name, anyway.

" Sora! Look what your stupid Digimon did!" Matt accused. I weakly got up. The pain wasn't gone, but I'd had worse.

" Hey, we did what was necessary." I said. Matt pushed me just where I'd been shot. I was beyond the pain now, but I'm ever so pissed. But I don't want to be looked down upon by these guys, so I let it go.

" Sky, you okay?" Sora asked. I winced a bit.

" Yeah. Just fine." I said. Tai looked embarrassed.

" Thanks, Sky." He managed to get out. " I thought that you'd be useless on this trip."

" Hey, no problem." I said. " But that's two you owe me."

" But what about TK?" Matt demanded.

" What about me?" TK said and giggled while he ran to us. That little tike had me worried. " Puppetmon captured me, but I'm okay now."

" Way to go TK!" " Great job!" " For such a small guy, that was a pretty big escape." We congratulated. Matt had a shocked look on his face. He ran off and Gabumon followed. I really didn't care. TK started to tell us about what just happened.

" And then, I broke his remote and tore up his map and I came back here." He explained.

" Alright, now, since Puppetmon's our next target, let's get going." I offered.

" Sure. Hey, where's Matt?" Tai asked.

" He left for further into the woods earlier. I thought he just needed to use the bushes, but he's been gone for a while." Joe explained. Just then we heard Puppetmon's cackle.

" He he he he. You Digidestines crack me up. Hey TK, wanna play?" The Mega asked.

" No, I don't!" He replied.

" You don't? Well I guess some of my friends will have to destroy you." Puppetmon said and a whole bunch of Digimon in garbage cans attacked us. I glanced at the Digimon Analyzer on Izzy's laptop. Garbagemon. Figures.

The Garbagemon lifted their bazookas and fired sludge at us. I deflected some of it while the others ran for it. I followed only to get cut off by more of them. The Digidestines had their Digimon Digivolve into their champion forms, and Gatomon went Ultimate. They destroyed a lot of them, but more kept coming.

Eventually, Togamon Digivolved into Lilymon and destroyed the last one. At least I think it was the last one. Apparently, I miscounted. The real last one jumped out and quickly aimed for us.

" Ice Wolf Claw!" a voice shouted and the Garbagemon froze and dematerialized. Metalgarurumon stood behind him. Matt appeared from behind the bushes.

" Hey Matt!" Tai called. Agumon ran up to Metalgarurumon, just as he shot at him.

" I'm here to dual you, so warp Digivolve and fight me!" Metalgarurumon commanded.

" I think he means it," Agumon said. " But I won't fight you."

" Then I will destroy you." He threatened and shot at him again. " Digivolve into Wargreymon so you'll stand a chance."

" Matt! Make him stop!" Tai commanded.

" No, Tai, I won't." He responded.

" Why you…" Tai said and charged Matt. Agumon warp Digivolved into Wargreymon and battled Metalgarurumon.

" Stop fighting!" TK yelled. " Can't anyone make them stop fighting?"

" Unfortunately, only Matt can." Joe said. " Maybe we should help."

" I don't think we should." I said. " This has been building up for a long time, I say we let 'em fight."

" I can't stand idly by and watch our two strongest destroy each other!" Joe said.

" Hey, I doubt they'll go that far." I responded.

" And since when are you so knowledgeable on this subject?" Joe wondered." I looked over. Just about everyone was fighting one another. Suddenly, there was a large flash, the two Megas went into in-training, and Kari was floating in the middle of the battlefield. We all looked on with awe.

" Kari! I didn't know you could do that!" Gatomon commented.

" I'm sorry, but I am not Kari, but I need to talk with you and I needed a host. She accepted willingly." Kari's body said. I heard a bunch of birds take off in the distance. " But it is not safe here. Come"

We were transported from the forest into a vast light. There the essence inside Kari continued.

" Alright, why have you brought us here?" Tai demanded.

" You are all Digidestines and our last hope for survival. You can not waste time and energy battling each other." The essence began. " Allow me to show you how we chose you." Suddenly, we were inside a large laboratory. Figures in cloaks were filing and creating different reports. To the left was a large display with eight Digivices, Digieggs, and crests. Outside the display was a Digivice and crest, but no Digiegg.

" This is were me and my companions began creating the Digidestined Digimon. When we found out about the great evil, we started right away." The others were walking through the illusions, I went over and picked up the spare Digivice, which wasn't an illusion.

" So, you guys had another one in the works?" I asked. Suddenly, the Digivice began to glow, along with the crest. " Um, why is it glowing?" I asked as the crest floated into my other hand.

" I think you know why. That is the crest of rage. Unfortunately, we couldn't assign you a Digimon before the accident." The essence replied. I'm a Digidestined? How could that be? I slipped on my crest.

" What accident?" I asked. Then as if on cue, an explosion rocked the lab. A bunch of mechanical Digimon raided the lab. Piedmon followed behind.

" It's Piedmon!" Tai yelled. I grabbed my boe and slammed through the illusion of the Dark Master. Silly me. This is just an image of what happened.

" Piedmon caught wind of our operation and decided to terminate it." The essence said as we saw the Digimon, Tankmon and Mechanorimon, I think, destroy the workers. We saw Piedmon walked over to the display and picked up the eggs and Digivices.

" Well, what do we have here?" He asked rhetorically. Then I saw one of the workers run at Piedmon.

" You're not getting those eggs!" the worker yelled as his hood fell down, revealing a young man with brown hair, and a familiar face.

" Geni? What do you think you're doing?" Piedmon asked. That guy was Geni? Geni ran up to a Mechanorimon and opened the hatch. He through out the Bakemon and hopped in. then he fired a missile, and caused Piedmon to drop the eggs, which Geni gathered and flew off.

" Fallow." The essence said and we flew up and after Geni, along with some Mechanorimon. " Geni had to keep the eggs until he found a secluded island to raise them on." The essence continued, as we saw one of the eggs get shot and fall from Geni's grasp.

" That's why I was left alone." Gatomon said with tears in her eyes.

" But the important thing is we're together now." Biyomon said.

" I guess so." Gatomon concluded. We followed Geni to a small island with a large mountain in the middle.

" Geni raised the Digimon until you arrived." The essence explained. We saw the in-training Digimon play with the Digivices.

" That's right, we waited a long time for you guys." Koromon said. We saw the Digimon throw their Digivices in the air, and the kids fall down. " And then one day you just appeared."

" So you see how much trouble we went through to make you guys Digidestines and why you are our last hope. You are the chosen few. You will save both our worlds. So stop fighting each other and fight the darkness." The essence completed, as a blinding light struck us, and we were back in the forest.

" That was interesting." I said and looked at my new crest. The crest looked like a three-pronged flame with a spiral inside. I don't know why I took it, but a tag and crest is pretty handy to have around.

We appeared at the place we left, and Matt looked depressed. After a large argument, he left with Gabumon, and Joe and Mimi decided to fallow. We left and continued traveling.

" Is anyone else tiered?" Sora eventually asked.

" Yeah, I guess we should take a small nap before we come up with our plan of action." Tai said. I pulled a three-man tent out and set it up.

" What's that for?" Izzy said.

" For Sora and Kari." I said and motioned at the clouds. " It's gonna rain." The girls blushed. Tai looked mad. " Come on, what's a little water guys?"

" Thanks, Sky." Sora said and entered the tent with Kari and their Digimon.

" I got blankets if you get cold." I offered.
