I'm sorry for the incredibly long delay in getting this chapter up, but I've been on a mission trip to and Indian reservation in South Dakota. Now that I'm back I will try and get these up faster, thank you, as always please read and review

-Chapter Ten-
I leapt out of my chair and yelled into the digivice, "Where is he!?"
"I'm not sure," replied Izzy, "portals are opening up all over town, there's no way of knowing which one he'll come out of."
"Stop giving me excuses and tell me where I need to go!"
"You should be able to see a few of the portals from the roof of the apartment building your in, that's all I can give you right now."
"That'll have to do."
I grabbed Kari by the wrist and ran towards the elevator. I pushed the button but it seemed like forever and it still wasn't coming. I didn't feel like waiting so I started running up the stairs, before I came to the roof. Kari and I stopped dead the instant we took our first look around.
There were black gateways everywhere, and what seemed like more Digimon than I had ever seen before in my entire life were coming through. Just when Kari and I were beginning to think it couldn't get any worse, a huge, gaping black hole tore open in the sky above the city. Only one lone figure came out of it though… Vayle. He floated slowly down until he was level with the rooftops around us. As we watched his skin turned the color of the deepest ocean where light does not reach, while his eyes became like two burning openings into hell itself. Just when we thought the transformation was complete a pair of obsidian angel wings tore themselves out of his back and a sword sheathed in cold, blue flames formed in his hand. The creature then began to speak in a voice so loud and clear and terrifyingly beautiful that I was sure that they could here all over the planet.
"I am Fallen, Scion of Darkness, my master has had far too much interference from your champions of late, and so he has sent me to bring about the Apocalypse," then he looked right at me, and I could feel his burning eyes looking straight into my soul, "know this, there is no escape from the fires of destruction which I bring with me, but if you resist I will kill you very, very slowly."
The horrible beast grew silent then, and it occurred to me that this was likely to be my last battle, but as I looked around at the other Digidestined who had arrived during Fallen's announcement, I knew that there was no one I would rather spend my last days with. Having made up my mind to fight this war, I turned towards Fallen and yelled,
"Fallen or Vayle or whatever you are, you caught me a little off guard there, the first move goes to you, but now it's my turn."
I reached for my digivice and began to talk, "Gigaveedramon, are you there?"
"I'm here Davis, what do you need?"
"Do you see where there are three gateways directly under the shadow of the big skyscraper over on broadway?"
"I see it."
"I want you to take out that skyscraper's supports and make it fall on those gateways."
"…Ok."
Suddenly from somewhere far below me I heard a shout of "Plasma Cannon!" A beam of white hot, crackling light shot out of the mouth of the newly revealed giant blue dragon and destroyed the first four stories on the correct side of the skyscraper to make it fall on to the gateways, in doing so it destroyed most of the surrounding buildings.
Kari leapt in front of me and began to yell, "Davis what are you thinking, we're supposed to be protecting this world, not destroying it!"
I turned to her, "Kari, didn't you hear him, he came here to wipe out this planet, I think if I can find a way to stop him mankind will forgive me a few buildings."
All the while Fallen was laughing, but when he saw that we were done he said, "Thank you Davis, I knew you would not disappoint me, I have not had a worthy opponent in many millennia, but as you say, now it's my turn," he lifted his arms, "My fellow servants of darkness, here are your orders, raze this city, I want no building left standing and no plant or animal left alive!"
"Nooo!" shouted Kari and Yolei in unison, but I wasn't surprised.
"Vee, we need transport now!"
"Way ahead of you Davis."
And he was, he was already hovering alongside the rooftop, waiting for us to climb on. When we were all on, he flew away towards a spot that was not currently part of the warpath. As we flew, we watched the armies of darkness destroy our beloved home.
About an hour later we came to an abandoned slum on the far side of the city. We all stood in a circle; silent as we thought about the horrible battle we had to fight. I decided now was as good a time as any to unveil my strategy.
"Everyone, here's the best strategy I can think of right now, I say we use guerilla warfare," I looked around at their depressed faces, "I think we should go around behind enemy lines and destroy all those gateways before they have time to solidify them, then, when they are trapped in the city with no way home, we take them out one by one."
Matt looked at me and asked, "Won't they just open up more gates if we destroy the ones they already have?"
"Gennai told me that since the dimensional is only torn, not open, there is a way to seal specific gates, it's hard though, besides, I don't think there are any other digimon left in the Digital World who are strong enough to come through from that side."
"What do you mean?" asked the ever-curious Izzy.
"What I mean is, only Ultimates and Megas can come through the portal right, well does it look like they left any reserves behind?"
"I see what you mean," said Ken, "but that's a risky assumption to make considering what could happen if you're wrong."
"I know, that's why I'm going to send you and Cody to find the other Digidestined all over the planet and bring them here to fight this war with us."
Tai stood up and everyone grew silent, he walked over and looked me in the eyes before speaking, "Davis, this is a gutsy, dangerous situation, but I think this crazy strategy of yours just might be our best bet."
To Be Continued…
I hope you liked that, it was difficult to write because it was the first chapter I didn't already have an old rough draft for. Anyway, I'll try to get the next chapter out faster than this one. Thanks for your continued interest.
