Chapter 9- Battle With the Unknown
Everyone gasped and turned to face the shadow. They could make out a pair of burning red eyes, but nothing more. "Yes, I see. Hikari Kamiya is among you, I gather."
Everyone was surprised. Everyone but Kari. "I am here." She said bravely. "Who are you?"
"Why you, of all people, should know." The voice said maliciously. "Why, I am the End."
Davis, seeing a chance to redeem himself in Kari's eyes, and shouted, "No, she meant your name Mr. Redeye!"
The mysterious figure hissed. "Your impudent friend seems to be ignorant, Majesty. Have you told them anything? Your heritage? Your true family? And your destiny?" TK started. Was it true?
Kari looked defiantly at the creature. "They do not need to know."
The thing laughed. "Ah. How like a woman you are, Majesty. To keep from them the secret of their companion. Wait. I see that one knows part of it. Who is he? Your love?" He laughed harshly. "And as for you, Mister Motomiya, End is what I am. I need no other name."
Davis was shocked. How did this thing know his name? "Man, guys, this dude's gonna be mean! I mean, only the principal calls me Mr. Motomiya, so he's gotta be!"
Yolei muttered under her breath. "Blockhead."
The eyes spoke again. "If you do not wish to suffer the humiliation of defeat, and ultimately destruction, you can give yourselves up now, and become part of my army. If not, then you will most certainly lose."
Davis, for all his thick-headedness, still was a rather brave person for thirteen years of age. "Then let the fight begin!" He shouted. "Ready Veemon?" The small blue and white Digimon nodded.
"Veemon, Digivolve to X-Veemon!"
"Hawkmon, Digivolve to Aquilamon!"
"Armadillomon, Digivolve to Ankylomon!"
"Gabumon, Warp-Digivolve to MetalGarurumon!"
"Patamon, Digivolve to Angemon!"
"Biyomon, Digivolve to Birdramon!"
The chorus of digivolving voices continued, and the eyes simply sat patiently, courteously waiting for them to finish digivolving.
"Aquilamon!" "Gatomon!" "DNA digivolve to Silphymon!"
"Ankylomon!" "Angemon!" "DNA digivolve to Shakuamon!"
"Birdramon, Digivolve to Garudamon!"
Finally, everyone was in their final forms. End stood firm and said, "You attack first." All the Digimon looked at each other, and then commenced attacking.
"Metal Wolf Claw!"
"Static Force!"
"Kachina Bomb!"
"Wing Blade!"
"V-Laser!"
The eyes took the attack without a quiver. "Now." He laughed. "My turn." It said ominously. "Darkness Wave!"
All the Digimon took the attack, as it simply spread everywhere, and no one could escape. When it had hit the Digimon, it didn't stop. It just spread all over the Digital World, destroying wherever it went.
"Whoa!" Davis said. "That was just one attack!"
All the Digimon were struggling to get up, but the DNA Digimon were forced to Dedigivolve, as they had taken the most of the attack. Gatomon struggled up.
"Gatomon, digivolve to Angewomon!"
Patamon wasn't finished either.
"Patamon, digivolve to Angemon!"
All the other Digimon got up too, resuming their Champion forms (Garudamon and MetalGarurumon were still in their respective forms).
Suddenly Kari held up her D-3. "Angewomon, let's take it up a level! Go Mega!" TK followed suit.
Davis could only gawk until he remembered the time in Colorado when he had first seen the two Megas.
"Angewomon, digivolve to MagnaDramon!"
"Angemon, digivolve to Seraphimon!"
Just then, Garudamon felt something happen to herself. "Garudamon, digivolve to Pheonixmon!"
Sora gasped. "Biyo has a mega form?" she said in amazement.
"Yes, Sora." Said the new Mega.
As the elegant pink dragon, the seraphim and the huge firebird emerged, their glow illuminated the meadow and everyone gasped as they saw the dim portals. They could see right through them into other worlds, worlds with things that they could only guess at their use. They saw a girl walk by the portal in one, with a wildcat at her side, but then, suddenly, the cat turned into a stoat and climbed onto her shoulder. In another, they saw an adult counting the stones on a wall, all the while waving his arms as if something was attacking him. And in yet another, there was a group of men creating something at a forge, and in another, a witch flew by. They could see a war being fought in one, and with a shock they recognized someone they had learned about, dashing behind a bookcase in a wall. Anne Frank.
There were several blasts of energy from behind them.
"Beam of Light!"
"Hope's Staff!"
"Phoenix Wing!"
The eyes growled at the attacks, and they turned to the thing again, only for TK, Kari, Sora and Matt to get the shock of their lives. It had long, gangly arms, and it had a black and navy blue body. There was a dark head, and a beaky, colorful nose. It looked like … But it was different … It was …
"Apocalymon?!"
"Partially, yes. Please welcome … OmniApocalymon!" He laughed maniacally. "Once you little Digidestined sealed me, I waited in darkness for years, all the time growing more and more powerful while you thought I was gone. You couldn't have sealed me properly anyway. You were missing a crest- the crest of kindness. And even if you had had that, it still wouldn't be complete. There would still be a small hole in it, and that had to be filled with a divine life, like the one of the Digital Queen. Yes, you were sorely lacking, but it was a good seal despite the flaws. I can give you that, Digidestined brats. It took a lot of my time. I picked at those two holes until I could finally come out, and then I lay for a time more, to plot my rise to power, and it is here! I have finally come to destroy you, Digidestined!"

A/N So, the secrets' nearly out! We know who the Evil Unnamed … let's not get into that again … anyways … you can pretty much guess the ending, can't you? Keep reading folks!
