Chapter 5: Clash of the Digimon
"You'll be safer if you stay in here!" Daisuke called as Iori, Miyako, and himself ran out of Hikari's room.
"But what about you?" Mrs. Kamiya asked.
"We're the digidestined…we'll be fine!" Iori called.
"I hope so," she whispered.
"Daisuke…what are we going to do? We're powerless without our Digimon," Miyako said.
"I know…I know, but…huh? Look over there it's Meramon…and Fridgimon!" Daisuke stated as he pointed to two Digimon fighting the Bakamon.
"Who's that?" Iori asked.
"It's Wizardmon!" Miyako called out.
"If they're fighting the Bakamon, then that means that they were sent here to help us," Daisuke stated as they ran towards the battling Digimon.
"Wizardmon!" Daisuke yelled as he neared the Digimon. The Bakamon had retreated and the three data type Digimon were looking towards the approaching figures.
"Daisuke?" Meramon questioned.
"Hi!" Iori said as they stopped running.
"Are we glad to see you, where are the others?" Fridgimon asked.
"They're all back in Digiworld…what happened to our Digimon?" Miyako asked.
"Ladymyotismon has turned them against us…I'm afraid only you can help them," Wizardmon said.
"That's not good, until Hikari and the others get back…" Daisuke said.
"Hikari? Queen Hikari?" Meramon asked.
"Huh? No, Taichi's sister, Hikari," Iori said.
"Taichi! He's gone back to Digiworld?" Meramon asked.
"Yeah…do you know him?" Daisuke asked.
"Are you kidding…if it hadn't been for Greymon and Birdramon I would have destroyed a Yokomon village," Meramon replied.
"You know…now that I think of it, those black collars that the Digimon King was using when we were last in Digiworld were kind of like the black gears that Hikari and Takeru were always talking about," Miyako stated.
"And the pendants that are controlling Veemon, Hawkmon, and Armadillomon are made from the same material as the collars and the black gears," Wizardmon stated.
"So how do we save Veemon and the others?" Daisuke asked.
"We're not sure…" Fridgimon said.
"They weren't turned against us until after we returned here," Wizardmon stated.
"Maybe we can use the power of the crests," Miyako pondered.
"It might work…right now they're in their rookie forms. But they're all still powerful," Meramon stated.
"Speaking of which!" Iori yelled and pointed at three approaching figures.
"Prepare to be destroyed!" Veemon stated.
"Veemon stop!" Daisuke yelled.
"Humph…a little human like you can't stop us from taking over your world," he replied.
"Hawkmon…don't you recognize me?" Miyako said with tears threatening to fall.
"Emotional humans," was Hawkmon's reply.
"Armadillomon…pleas don't do this," Iori replied.
"We will do as we wish!" came the reply. Veemon was about to attack Miyako when he stepped out in front of him.
"Get out of the way!" Veemon yelled.
"NO! TRY AND REMEMBER VEEMON! THINK OF ALL THE TIMES WE FOUGHT EVIL!" Daisuke yelled.
"Tricks…don't listen to him," Hawkmon said.
"NO! They're not tricks…remember when we first met…and I freed you from the digiegg. You said that you had been waiting to meet me for a long time, and then you armor digivolved into Flamedramon," Daisuke pleaded.
"I…I…" Veemon said and started to glow.
"Look! Your crest!" Miyako said.
"I remember!" Veemon yelled, "Veemon armor digivolve to…Flamedramon! The flames of courage!" he yelled.
"Flamedramon! You 're back!" Daisuke yelled as he hugged his Digimon friend.
"Traitor!" Hawkmon said.
"No…Hawkmon please try and remember," Miyako said.
"You too Armadillomon!" Iori called. Miyako and Iori's crests of love and knowledge started to glow.
"I remember," Hawkmon said as he jumped into Miyako's arms.
"Hawkmon!" she said as she hugged him.
"Forgive me, Iori?" Armadillomon said sleepily.
"I forgive you…" he said as he hugged him.
"We can't fight her…not yet," Flamedramon said.
"Huh? Why can't we?" Daisuke asked.
"We have to wait for the other Digidestined to return to this world," Wizardmon stated.
"Then I suggest we head back to the Kamiya's house…there's a digital barrier so we should be safe there," Miyako said.
"Good idea…let's go," Hawkmon stated.
