"Well, well, well, it seems like we have some visitors inside of my domain." Takeru and
Hikari both held their breath. They didn't know what to do. Should they stay and not start a fight, or should they run away and risk their life for this? That was a choice that they had to make on their own. "Listen up, whoever you are. What do you want with us?" Takeru shouted. "Silly boy, we aren't hurting anybody, are we? Besides, what can you do about it?" Tsukaimon asked. "Without your partner Digimon, you cannot stop us in destroying your world," Black Tailmon cried. The throne chair finally stopped, and sitting on it was a nightmare, Vamdemon.
"So, we meet again..." Takeru and Hikari both gasped. "It's you!" Vamdemon stepped up
from his seat and laughed. "Such power that this world has ever seen was from you two. What a shame. I guess you can't do anything to try and defend your world without your partner Digimons." He snapped his fingers, and Patamon floated down to the ground. He had a magnetic shield around him, stopping Takeru from getting to him. "Oh Patamon." He tried to reach for him, but the shield around him shocked his fingers. "Listen up you two. Give in, you cannot beat the powers of darkness." Takeru tried to reach for Patamon, but all that happened was him getting shocked. "What do you want with us anyway?" Vamdemon snapped his fingers, and Patamon disappeared. "It doesn't matter anymore, anyway. Now that we have the keys to unlocking a secret of the Digital World, I don't think I have to explain it anymore."
Vamdemon snapped his fingers once more, and the two began to float. Takeru and Hikari
were both separated from each other, and Vamdemon was the only thing between them. "Such young children. It's a shame that your lives have to be ended so quickly. Or maybe I should have a little fun with them first. What do you think, my honorary bodyguards. Tsukaimon and B. Tailmon approached the devil and smiled. "We would be glad to help you eliminate them. Such young children, it won't be much of a difference whether we destroy them right now or later." Vamdemon scratched his chin, thinking. "You may be right about that. I guess I am pretty intelligent for choosing you two to be my loyal servants. You have gotten much stronger from those magical crystal drops that were created from the darkness in this world. It's a good thing that I possess the powers to resurrect darkness."
"What are your plans Vamdemon?" Hikari cried. Vamdemon looked back and grinned.
"Well, let me start by saying that your world is not going to be much of a challenge to me any longer. I'll say it again. Now that you two are in my grasps, there's not much power to protect it, is there?" Vamdemon slammed a fist down near a statue. "Maybe these little children need some tuning up. Tsukaimon, Black Tailmon, maybe you should lead these two down to the dungeon." The two nodded, and they approached Hikari. Black Tailmon grabbed her arms and threw her into a nearby wall with great ease. "What the?" Takeru screamed as she saw Hikari get bumbled onto the wall. Tsukaimon kicked Takeru's face and he flew through the floor and into a glass window.
"How was that master?" Tsukaimon asked. "Excellent works you two. Now, I think those
two pathetic Digimon are drained enough. Release them!" Black Tailmon and Tsukaimon both took out a strange coin. They threw it into the air, and Tailmon, along with Patamon, started to fall. They crashed landed onto the stone ground. "Perhaps we should play with them a little more." "Go right ahead, I think they need a little tune up also." Black Tailmon picked Tailmon up with her arms, and she carried her up the stairs. Tsukaimon did the same with Patamon. The two went through a large chamber upstairs, next to the black windows. "I bet they'll be pretty impressed of what we have for these two."
Meanwhile, back in the real world, Koushirou continued to pick up the large stabs of
dirty rocks that had crumbled onto the ground. 'This is just not my day," Daisuke sighed. "You can say that again," Koushirou added. "What time is it?" Daisuke asked. Koushirou looked at his watch, and screamed. "How long have we been here?" Koushirou looked at the main clock up near the ceiling. It was the same as his watch. "I'm thinking this is illegal!" It was eight o' clock at night! "Whatever happened to that old librarian anyway?" Daisuke asked. "And the other kids." Suddenly, the library's door began to creak. "What was that?" Daisuke asked. A strange figure appeared through the door, holding a small pendant in its hand. "Hello there. You must be Koushirou Izumi, and you are his friend, Daisuke Motomiya, correct?"
The two nodded, and the person stepped forward. It was a young woman, but she was
hiding in the shadows. "You don't know me, but I was sent here by Gennai. I suppose you know him." Koushirou winced. "Who are you, and how do you know who Gennai is?" Koushirou asked. "I am a long time friend of his. Back when Piedmon destroyed the control center, I escaped from his grasps. But sadly, Gennai did not. But he still lives today." Daisuke held his breath. "How do we know we can trust you on any of the things you say?"
"Please, there's no time to explain. We have to go now." She walked out of the shadows, and revealed a princess gown with jewelry, "Hey!" Daisuke gazed upon her. He began to blush a little. Koushirou did the same. "Hey, you're pretty cute," Daisuke said. She smiled, and took out a small pouch in her bag. She threw it into Daisuke and Koushirou's eyes, and they began to faint. "What a cute girl," Koushirou stammered, before collapsing.
Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the city, Miyako was busy talking on the phone with
Michael. "So, how was your day?" "It was pretty good," Michael said. "How was yours. I heard that Daisuke is giving you a hard time." "Where and when did you hear that?" "I have my sources." "Oh come on Michael, I need to know. Besides, Ken is on the other line. Do you want to talk to him?" "Not right now Miyako San. Remember, I am just waking up." Michael started to yawn, and Miyako giggled.
It has been months since Miyako chatted with Michael. Their friendship has become much
more powerful than ever before. As they continued to talk, Miyako couldn't help but think of all the things that she did with Michael in the past. Their first adventures in the Digital World. Their first date there, and the way Michael always knew just what to do when there is danger.
"Miyako?" "Yeah Michael?" "Can I talk to Ken now. I sort of want to chat with him,
privately." "Oh, sure. I'll hang up right now." Miyako pressed the button, and hanged up the phone. "Ken?" "Yes, this is Ken." "I have something important to tell you. I can't tell the others though, since they might not know what to do in this type of danger." "Yea, continue."
"Yesterday, I kept getting strange frequencies on my computer. It seems like a strange
Digimon virus has appeared over the Internet." "Could it be possible that it is Diablomon again?" "No, this one is far more powerful that Diablomon. It seems to be feeding on the all of the data online that contains a file, which can delete viruses. After that, it says it will begin to feed on files that have the word monster inside of it." "This is strange though. My computer does not show any sign of this at all." "I don't know about that, but I think this can get a little messy. Don't tell the others until I get more information, all right?" "Sure, I'll keep a look out for this virus."
Takeru pulled himself forward from the dirt. He wiped the dirt off of his face, and from
his shoulders. "Oh no, what is going to happen to Patamon?" He got back p and ran for the doors. He pulled on the glass handle, but it wouldn't budge. "Darn, it's stuck." He heard a small moan from the inside of the castle. It was Patamon's voice. "Ha! Hold on Patamon, I'm coming!" He began to bang his fists upon the door, trying to open it. He heard a moan from behind him. He took a small glance, and saw a white ghost. His eyes widened, and he began to pound on the door even more. "Help! A ghost!" "Hey kid." Takeru crouched down and saw it in front of his eyes. "Got some juice?" Takeru screamed and he rolled over to a nearby tree.
The ghost laughed and smiled. "What's wrong with you, I'm just a regular Bakemon."
"Bakemon?" 'Yes, Bakemon, a ghost Digimon. Who are you?" "My name is Takaishi Takeru." "Takeru?" Bakemon began to jump up and down. "You mean the same Takeru as the one who saved the Digital World from Devimon?" "Yea, I guess so." "Wow, can I have your autograph. Wait. Hold on, you look marvelous."
"Excuse me Bakemon, can you help me? I'm kind of busy." "Oh sure, I can." Bakemon
blew some wind and a net appeared. "Gotcha Digidestined!" "What?" Bakemon laughed as he stuck the net over Takeru's body. "Hey, let me go." "Sorry little boy, but my master wants to see you so I can get my reward." Takeru began kicking inside the net. He kicked Bakemon's face, causing him to fall into a puddle. "Stupid little boy." Bakemon grabbed Takeru as he ran for the chamber doors.
"The password is Master! The password is master!" The doors opened, and Tsukaimon
greeted him. "Look Tsukaimon, I captured this Digidestined." Tsukaimon glared at him. "We already captured him. Here's your reward." Tsukaimon sent out a beam of dark energy that disintegrated Bakemon, and left Takeru lying on the ground.
Tsukaimon laughed at Bakemon, and he flew towards Takeru. "You and your little friend
are going to get the treatment." Tsukaimon formed an orb around Takeru. "Hey, what's this?" "Your ride." Takeru's orb floated into the air. "Enjoy the ride." The orb floated up the stairs and into a glass wall. It smashed through the place, and into an under ground dungeon. He saw Hikari and the others inside a cage. Hikari was badly bruised, and Tailmon was trying to comfort her, while Patamon made some kind of tea.
The orb smashed through the bars, and Takeru collided with the others. "Takeru San,"
Patamon cried. "Are you all right?" Takeru rubbed his head, and saw a little drip of blood from his nose. "Not really. I better rest." Patamon blew some wind into his body. "How come you guys are so small?" Tailmon asked. "It's like you came from the past." "I don't know. We were like this when we got here." "I think they were changed to their younger forms for a reason."
"But Patamon, what are we doing here?" "We're going to try and escape. But not right now,
Hikari is too injured to move." "That's correct. She must be well before we proceed," Tailmon said, as she placed a towel over Hikari's head. She began to squirm around, and she immediately started to yawn. "Is she waking up?" Patamon asked. "Maybe, then we can get out of here." A low knocking sound came over them. A guard was passing out plates of food. "Eww, what is that?" Takeru asked. It was a greenish slime with yellow nuts on them. "Don't eat it, it's probably poison!" Tailmon cried.
Hikari slowly began to wake up. She yawned a bit more, and she saw the bruises all
over her. "What's going on?" she asked. "Hikari Chan, you're finally awake!" Tailmon cried, hugging her tightly. "Where am I?" "Thank god you're ok." "Takeru, what are we doing in here?" Hikari asked. "I don't know. But I want to get out of here. This place is creepy." "It's time to do that," Patamon said. He flew into place near the metal bars.
Patamon fired an air bubble at the bars. Foolishly, it just disappeared. "We have to get out
of here," Tailmon said. She pointed towards Hikari's Digivice. "Armor Digivolve us." Hikari took out her Digivice. She raised it up into the air, and light came out. "Digital Armor Evolution!" The light kept glowing, but then it dies down. Pretty soon, all of it disappeared. "Oh no, how come it won't work?" she asked. "Let me try," Takeru cried, taking out his. "Hey, wait a minute. These are our old Digivices." "Oh yeah, I guess I forgot about that. These old ones don't have enough power to hold up the armors. Man, now we can't get out." Tailmon screamed, and she started to slash the bars.
"Stop Tailmon, it's useless." Hikari pulled her away from the bars, and sighed. "Tailmon,
if only you had the power to Digivolve." Suddenly, Hikari felt something warm on her hand. She opened her palm, and Tailmon began to float into the air. She started to change form, and pretty soon, her cat body was replaced with an angel.
"Angewomon!" Hikari cried. She was standing inside the stone walls. She formed a silver
arrow in her arms, and she began to aim. "Stand back everyone," she said. Takeru and Hikari both went as far back as they could. Angewomon fired the arrow, and the cage doors busted open in a cloud of dust. "Great job!" Patamon cried. "Hurry, we must escape now," she said. Angewomon stepped out, and she began to feel a shock going through her nerves. She began to cry out, and electrical rays appeared next to them. "Oh no, Angewomon!" Hikari cried. The angel changed back to Tailmon, and the sparks stopped. A siren began to appear, and they heard voice. "Electric sensors restarting in twenty seconds." "Hurry," Takeru cried. The three ran out and Hikari grabbed Tailmon on the way.
"Damn, those little brats. Baka," Vamdemon whispered, sitting down on a soft chair,
drinking black blood from a pond. Tsukaimon and Black Tailmon were next to him, bowing. "You two better find a way to kill those little kids." "Yes master Vamdemon, we will find a way to kill off those four brats." "See to it that you do, I am getting very inpatient with this operation."
Takeru and the others ran through a long hallway. They noticed spy cameras were
following them. "Oh no, what if Vamdemon finds us?" Patamon asked. "We have to get help quick," Hikari said, cradling Tailmon in her arms. As they kept running, a strange smog began to form around their legs. "What's this?" Takeru asked, picking some of it up. "Eww, it smells like poop." The smog came higher, until it reached their legs. "Eww, it's sticky," Hikari cried, trying to walk. "It's gooey and thick. It's getting very heard to walk," Takeru commented. Now the smog was all the way up to their hips. "What do we do Hikari?"
Meanwhile, in the real world, Iori was busy making pies with his mom. He accidentally
dropped a big piece of the dough onto the ground. "Mama, what do I do now?" he asked. "It's alright Iori San. Just throw it away and start on another one. It really isn't that hard anyway." Iori tossed the scraps of dough into the garbage, then started another one. "Psst... Iori Kun." Iori turned around, and saw Upamon next to the door to his room. He walked over and closed the kitchen door behind him. "What is it Upamon?" Iori whispered. "Iori, I got a message from Hikari on your computer." "What has happened?" "I don't know, but you might want to check it out..."
"Always trying to help others, eh Iori Sama?" Iori turned around and saw his grandfather
come close to him. "What is it this time?" he asked. "Grandfather, I don't really know myself, but I am going to find out, right now." He walked into the room, and saw his computer glowing. "What is going on?" his grandpa asked. Iori examined the screen, and saw a low image with writing on it. "It looks like a distress call." "Will you two go into that world again?" Upamon nodded, and he jumped onto the screen. "We have to. If we want to save Hikari San." 'Then go ahead. Oh yeah, and take these." His grandfather handed Iori a pack of prune juice, and he left. "I better go help your mother with those pies."
"This way!" Patamon cried. They ran through a passageway, which led them to a pool
of thick slime. "Eww, what is that stuff?" "Digimon Manure." Takeru and Hikari both squeezed their noses. "How are we going to get past this part. It's only a room with no doors or windows,." Patamon flew into the room, and noticed a metal ladder. "You guys can use the ladder to climb up this thing. It's over there." Patamon pointed towards the other side of the room, where a little statue of Vamdemon stood. "You go first Hikari," Takeru said. Hikari placed Tailmon over her shoulders. She walked through the thin path, and then finally made it to the ladder.
"Start climbing," Takeru urged. Patamon began to fly up near the doors. "Hurry up
you guys." Takeru started to climb up the ladder, when suddenly, the doors below them slammed shut. "What's going on?" Takeru cried, grasping onto the hard handles. Patamon forced Hikari to climb up higher into the ladder. Tailmon began to feel a little pain come over her body, as her tail swiftly tried to hang onto Hikari's shoulders. "How long is this tunnel Patamon?" Patamon flew up into the ceiling, and saw a large spinning fan right above them.
"Takeru, I think you better check this out." Takeru looked up and saw the fan in all its
glory. "Oh no, what if we get sucked into that thing?" After a couple of seconds, a strange smell started to appear around them. "Do you guys smell that?" Hikari asked. She looked down, and saw the manure begin to bubble. "Eww, how come that stuff is bubbling down there?" "Just keep climbing Hikari and don't look down." When the smell started to get stronger, the group wondered and wondered. "YOU CAN'T GET AWAY!" A slimy serpent rose from the heavy manure, and took on a shape of a Devimon.
"Little children cannot come into this haven. You little boys and girls are all disturbing
my peace. I'm afraid that I'm not going to allow that. By hell I must kill you." Devimon stretched out his arms, and the gas inside became a heavy toxin fume. They all started to cough, as water spots appeared around them. "Now, rise to destroy these little kids." Devimon disappeared, and acid started to pour into the room from the air vents. As it started to rise, Takeru urged Hikari to keep on going up. The fan above them was now at full blast, but instead of blowing the acid back, it was sucking up the gas, building it up for an explosion.
"Perfect, they are in the gas chamber." Vamdemon closed his lips and sucked in the
blood taken from a Digimon. Too bad some Digimon only have data, while some can feel power within them." "I totally agree master Vamdemon. I think that id all Digimon contained blood, it would be lovely." Black Tailmon plopped around the ground, and fired a shot into the wall. "Darn, my energy blaze is getting fairly weak. I think I need to regenerate it from the gas fumes in that tunnel. How long will this process take anyway, master?" "Not long, wait for a while."
"Takeru, the smell is getting so bad!" A plop of goop fell from the fan and landed on
Patamon's head. "What is this stuff?" he asked. Patamon saw hot energy form around his body. "Ouch, it hurts so badly." Takeru saw this and he grabbed one of Patamon's wings. "You better rest in my backpack." When the acid began to boil even more, Hikari finally found a door. She grasped the handle, turned it, and waited for it to open. Nothing happened. "Hey, why won't the door open up?" she cried. She saw that the liquid was near Takeru's feet. "Hikari, hurry up!" "Open up!" One last bang and the door finally opened. Hikari and Takeru stepped into it, as the acid was just beginning to flow in with them.
Locking the door behind them, the group of kids ran through the halls of Vamdemon's.
"Takeru, are you sure you know where you are going?" "I don't know, I just wanna get out of here." As they approached a massive chained door, Takeru could feel a sudden chill in the air. "Gosh, do you think it seems a little weird in here?" "Takeru, everywhere around here is weird." Patamon began to make swift movements, trying to open up an air vent. "Let me have a go, Patamon." Takeru punched the vent with his fist, as it started to bleed. "Ouch!" Takeru dropped down loudly, and he heard a guard grunt nearby. "Oh no, did he hear us?" Hikari cried.
"Vamdemon, are you ready yet? I am getting very tired of these games." Vamdemon
slammed his fist, and Black Tailmon jumped. "Do I have to explain?" he said with a grin. "The longer we wait, the more energy I will receive from the gas around us. I am in no condition to wrinkle my clothes, especially when those kids are so close." Black Tailmon frowned, and Tsukaimon agreed. "You're right Vamdemon, we should wait. Besides, I don't feel like fighting right now." "But you better be ready. I'll send one of my guards to come help you when you need it."
"Come on Takeru, hustle!" Hikari screamed. "Sorry, I'm doing my best." Twisting the
steel handle, he grasped its edges, and turned. Patamon began to pull the steel handle. "It won't budge." Patamon blew out a bubble, and the door handle broke out. "Patamon, look what you did." Strangely, the door opened up, revealing a pool of ice. As they walked in, the door behind them slammed shut, and the room began to fill up with clouds of cold air. "Wow, it sure is cold in here." Takeru dipped his finger into the pool, and it began to shiver.
"Well, we have to get across, now come on." Takeru saw a long panel surrounding the pool.
"Lets cross through that, it should be stable enough to hold us." Hikari agreed, and she stepped onto the panel. It began to shift slowly, but it was strong enough to hold them. "You go first." Hikari walked through the panel, and as she began to get to the other end, she could feel a strange shaking near her feet. "Takeru, I don't think this is safe." Suddenly, a Digimon bursted out of the ice, causing water to splash over the group. The Digimon waved its fins around, shifting its tail in the process. "Don't think you can get away from me!"
"Oh my gosh, Tailmon!" Tailmon jumped out of Hikari's bag, and gasped. "It's one of Vamdemon's." Seadramon flashed a glare at Tailmon. "Since you were just getting up, I think it's time for a good shower." Seadramon froze the water around them, as well as the walls around them. "Oh my gosh, Hikari!" Seadramon blasted a force of wind over them, causing them to fall into the ice. Patamon and Tailmon managed to get Hikari, but Takeru's backpack was too heavy. He broke through the ice and into the water beneath. "Takeru, oh no." Patamon dived into the water, and saw black darkness dwelling beneath them. "This is a never-ending pit."
Patamon saw Takeru gasping for air. He swam down and grabbed his backpack, pulling
him up to the surface. Patamon saw a blast of dust blow through the icy water. "There!" Hikari pulled Takeru up, but Patamon began to stumble with the ice. Seadramon was thinking of other things, like stop wasting time! "Damn you two, go there now!" Seadramon unleashed a blizzard into the room. Hikari shielded her eyes, while Tailmon tried to get near Seadramon. "Hikari, come on, we need to get those two out of here." Hikari pulled Patamon up from the water, and forced him to keep moving. The ice started to build up, and they could hardly see each other. "We have to get out of here, now."
"Oxygen Homing!" "What the?" Seadramon turned around, and saw two air jets zooming towards him. "What is this?" The jets struck through him, causing him to growl in horror. "I can't be banished!" His tail started to disappear, along with the rest of his body. As soon as he was gone, Tailmon could see that the blizzard was over, and the ice was starting to melt before their very eyes. Hikari managed to pull Takeru out of the ice before all of it was gone. "I wondered what happened." "Are you guys alright? I came right away when I knew that you guys were in danger." Tailmon saw Iori San walk into the room with Armadimon.
Iori gasped as he saw Takeru and Hikari. "What happened to you two?" he asked. "Iori, at least you're here. Come help us." Iori and Armadimon walked over and helped Takeru up. "But you guys, how come you're both so young? Have you changed?" "Yeah, you guess don't seem like yourselves lately," Armadimon said, pushing Patamon over. Patamon squirted out some water, and opened his eyes. "Hey, what are you doing here, Armadimon?" "Iori, we don't know ourselves. When we came here, we were both changed, into what we were before." "That's strange, even though you two do seem quite weird with your old clothes on." Iori helped Patamon and Takeru both recover, immediately. "Iori, where did you learn how to recover people?" Hikari asked. "Jou gave me a few lessons in doing these things. He says I might need them someday."
After Iori was sure that Takeru and Patamon were alright to walk, he gave them some
prune juice for their thirst. "Iori, can you show us the way out of here?" Takeru asked. "Yeah, it wasn't easy getting in here though, so don't expect it to be any better going back the other way." Iori walked through the door, and gasped. "Hey, this wasn't like this when I came here." Somehow, the walls around them were covered with paintings of Digimon. Two passageways loomed in front of them. "So, what should we do now?" Tailmon asked. One of the passageways was filled with tropical flowers, while the other one was covered with floating stones.
"Who don't we head for the one with flowers?" Tailmon asked. "It might be a trick, why not that floating stone place?" Patamon responded. "Those rocks seem kind of creepy, I'd stick with the easy way out of this." "And what do you suppose that is?" "Let's just go to what seems best, that patch of flowers seem to be harmless." Iori stepped up. "Just to make sure it's safe, why don't I go first?" "Iori, that's not safe for you though," Takeru said. "Hey, don't worry." Iori, along with Armadimon, walked through the flowers. "I think it's safe in here," Iori called out. "But where's Armadimon?" Iori looked around, and gasped. "I don't know."
Out of the blue, thick, green vines started to lash around Iori's arms. "Iori Kun!" Takeru
cried out. Green sprays of pollen sprayed at Iori's face, and he began to groan. "I feel, energy..." More vines lashed on, surrounding the outer layer of Iori's clothes. "Iori, I'm coming!" "Stop Takeru!" Hikari grabbed his arm, and he collapsed near the flowers. "We can't help him anymore. Don't worry though, I'm sure that we'll find him soon." "But we can't just leave him there!" "Come on Takeru, let's just get out of here first!" Patamon and Tailmon both started to run up to the floating pebbles. "Come on, let's just get this over with." Takeru and Hikari ran after them. Passing through the pebbles, they slowly began to drop, one by one.
"This can't get any worse!" Hikari cried. "Or maybe it can..." Takeru and Hikari were
flashed away by a beam of light. Reappearing inside the throne room of Vamdemon. "So, my traps weren't able to kill you, but maybe my servants will." Tsukaimon and Black Tailmon appeared above them. "Is it time yet, master?" they asked. "Yes it is." Tsukaimon and Black Tailmon evolved into Devimon and Lady Devimon instantly. They both laughed, gazing at them. "We are now in our true forms. This is your last stop here in the Digital World, for good." Takeru and Hikari screamed as Lady Devimon slashed her long nail at them.
Patamon flew up and evolved into Angemon. "Takeru, get back, now!" Angemon took
out his long pole. "Holy Rod." Jabbing it at Lady Devimon, Devimon flew over and kicked Angemon's head, causing him to stumble. Devimon and Lady Devimon both fired a blast of darkness towards Angemon. "See you in hell!" The blast of darkness erupted the room, causing it to explode. Takeru was slammed far against the wall, and Hikari was dragged down into the Earth by the wind. Tailmon jumped up and evolved into Angewomon. "I still have energy to protect you two," she said. Angewomon formed an arrow towards Devimon.
"Holy Arrow!" She fired the arrow at Devimon. He noticed this and dodged quickly
from it. "Oh, so now there's an angel in the scene, well, I better take care of this one." Lady Devimon jumped into him. "Let me handle it." Lady Devimon flew towards her. "So girl, you wish to challenge me?" Lady Devimon flew up high. "Darkness Wave!" Thousands of bats appeared around her. "Take this!" The bats plunged towards Angewomon. "Heaven's Charm!" Angewomon blocked the darkness with her light. She struggled to keep hold, but it was too much. Angewomon gave in, and her body was captured in darkness. "Puwazon!" Lady Devimon charged at her with her long dark needle. Angemon saw this and quickly knocked her out of the way.
"Hey boy, what do you think you're doing?" Lady Devimon reached for him, but Devimon accidentally knocked her out of the way, trying to kill Angemon. "Devimon, what are you doing?" "Hey, you can't attack him, he's mine. Death Claw." Devimon grabbed Angemon's throat, hissing at his face. Angemon struggles to get free, but his grip held. Devimon tossed Angemon into the wall. "Rzaor Wing!" Bats flew out of the darkness, paralyzing Angemon on his sides. "You cannot overpower darkness." Lady Devimon gave a kick to Devimon's leg. "Never do that again!" Devimon glared at her, and she flew away.
"Now, to finish you off, angel girl." Hikari saw her forming another needle. "Angewomon, get out of the way!" Lady Devimon dived down at her. Hikari threw a stone at her eye. Lady Devimon dived down towards Hikari now. "Little girl." Angewomon formed another arrow in her arms. "Holy arrow!" Firing the arrow at Lady Devimon, she quickly placed all her energy into it. The arrow shot through the air. Lady Devimon saw this and quickly knocked it into the air, aiming at Devimon. The heavenly arrow instead sliced through Devimon's cloak. "Hey, watch it!" Takeru noticed Lady Devimon and Devimon fighting. "Here's your chance to fight back!" he told Angemon. "We don't have anymore power left."
"Listen Lady Devimon, you better leave all of this work to me!' "In your dreams!"
"Oh no, we have to win, or the world is going to get destroyed." Angewomon saw Hikari's determination, causing her to release all she had left. "Saint Aim!" Angewomon fired a twisted charm at Lady Devimon. Lady Devimon screamed as her body began to melt away. "No! This can't be! I have to win!" Her wings dropped down, and her legs tightened. Her entire face shattered, as Devimon watch her eyes burn with fire. "So you think you have won, by defeating that Digimon?" Devimon slammed another wave of dark energy at Angewomon's body, causing her to fall into Hikari's arms.
Angemon gave a twist. "Heaven's Knuckle's!" He fired a golden light at Devimon. He
cried out in pain as the light went straight through his body. "This can't be happening!" Devimon's dark energy shriveled up into a tiny form of energy, blasting away into the darkness. Vamdemon, who was watching nearby, shielded his eyes. "Those two fools. I knew they couldn't do it." He flapped his cape and walked into a dark passage. It closed up immediately, getting surrounded by hundreds of ice shards. The entire place began to collapse, with them in it. "Hold on Hikari!" Takeru grabbed Hikari and pulled her through the doorway. Angemon lifted Angewomon, and they flew out of the strange castle...
"I am Devimon! The rightful ruler of this world, and all the others that bestow
beyond me! Take me as your guardian!"
"I am Lady Devimon! Warrior for the last to dark species. I have come here to
take on the challenge that is granted!"
"When I'm through with you... Perhaps, you think this is all a game, when really,
this may be a matter of life and death. I will grant both of you a quest, a journey,
to here you truly deserve to be..."
"Hikari, are you alright?" Takeru touched her face. Tailmon and Patamon both laid
weakly in the grass. "I'll be fine." Hikari reached for her whistle. Touching only bare skin, she got up and searched for it. "I must have lost my whistle during the fight. I feel so horrible. I think my life has just been sucked out, for good." Takeru and Hikari gazed into the sky. It was turning into morning, already. The sun leaped out from the shadows, and warmed the grass. "How do we get back to our families?" "We'll find a way," Takeru smiled. "You know, maybe we can defeat them. Maybe, we can." Takeru coughed, and fell asleep.
When Takeru woke up, he was naked. Hikari was next to him, sleeping. Her clothes seem
to have been torn off. When he reached for his hat, he could feel the softness. Looking at his body, he laughed. "I'm back to normal..." Takeru looked into his backpack, and found some clothes he could wear, that actually fitted him. A moment later, Hikari awakened, finding Takeru naked in the sunlight. "What the? Hey!" Hikari grabbed for her backpack, and effortlessly grabbed some clothes. She began to blush a little, but tried to hide it in front of Takeru. When Takeru looked back, he could see Hikari putting her clothes on.
"Well, Takeru, I guess we're both back to normal now." Hikari noticed the dark castle
gone, without a trace. "This is strange." Takeru could see Tailmon and Patamon were both still injured. "How can we help our Digimon?" Takeru looked into his backpack, and found a small first aid-kit. He began to wrap Patamon's wings while he rubbed his belly. He could right away tell he was hungry. "We have to hurry and get these two some food." Takeru nudged Patamon's back, and he awakened, stunned at the appearance of Takeru.
"Well, at least you two are back to normal. But I wondered what happened to Iori.
Hope he's alright. Is he still here in the Digital World?"
Hikari both held their breath. They didn't know what to do. Should they stay and not start a fight, or should they run away and risk their life for this? That was a choice that they had to make on their own. "Listen up, whoever you are. What do you want with us?" Takeru shouted. "Silly boy, we aren't hurting anybody, are we? Besides, what can you do about it?" Tsukaimon asked. "Without your partner Digimon, you cannot stop us in destroying your world," Black Tailmon cried. The throne chair finally stopped, and sitting on it was a nightmare, Vamdemon.
"So, we meet again..." Takeru and Hikari both gasped. "It's you!" Vamdemon stepped up
from his seat and laughed. "Such power that this world has ever seen was from you two. What a shame. I guess you can't do anything to try and defend your world without your partner Digimons." He snapped his fingers, and Patamon floated down to the ground. He had a magnetic shield around him, stopping Takeru from getting to him. "Oh Patamon." He tried to reach for him, but the shield around him shocked his fingers. "Listen up you two. Give in, you cannot beat the powers of darkness." Takeru tried to reach for Patamon, but all that happened was him getting shocked. "What do you want with us anyway?" Vamdemon snapped his fingers, and Patamon disappeared. "It doesn't matter anymore, anyway. Now that we have the keys to unlocking a secret of the Digital World, I don't think I have to explain it anymore."
Vamdemon snapped his fingers once more, and the two began to float. Takeru and Hikari
were both separated from each other, and Vamdemon was the only thing between them. "Such young children. It's a shame that your lives have to be ended so quickly. Or maybe I should have a little fun with them first. What do you think, my honorary bodyguards. Tsukaimon and B. Tailmon approached the devil and smiled. "We would be glad to help you eliminate them. Such young children, it won't be much of a difference whether we destroy them right now or later." Vamdemon scratched his chin, thinking. "You may be right about that. I guess I am pretty intelligent for choosing you two to be my loyal servants. You have gotten much stronger from those magical crystal drops that were created from the darkness in this world. It's a good thing that I possess the powers to resurrect darkness."
"What are your plans Vamdemon?" Hikari cried. Vamdemon looked back and grinned.
"Well, let me start by saying that your world is not going to be much of a challenge to me any longer. I'll say it again. Now that you two are in my grasps, there's not much power to protect it, is there?" Vamdemon slammed a fist down near a statue. "Maybe these little children need some tuning up. Tsukaimon, Black Tailmon, maybe you should lead these two down to the dungeon." The two nodded, and they approached Hikari. Black Tailmon grabbed her arms and threw her into a nearby wall with great ease. "What the?" Takeru screamed as she saw Hikari get bumbled onto the wall. Tsukaimon kicked Takeru's face and he flew through the floor and into a glass window.
"How was that master?" Tsukaimon asked. "Excellent works you two. Now, I think those
two pathetic Digimon are drained enough. Release them!" Black Tailmon and Tsukaimon both took out a strange coin. They threw it into the air, and Tailmon, along with Patamon, started to fall. They crashed landed onto the stone ground. "Perhaps we should play with them a little more." "Go right ahead, I think they need a little tune up also." Black Tailmon picked Tailmon up with her arms, and she carried her up the stairs. Tsukaimon did the same with Patamon. The two went through a large chamber upstairs, next to the black windows. "I bet they'll be pretty impressed of what we have for these two."
Meanwhile, back in the real world, Koushirou continued to pick up the large stabs of
dirty rocks that had crumbled onto the ground. 'This is just not my day," Daisuke sighed. "You can say that again," Koushirou added. "What time is it?" Daisuke asked. Koushirou looked at his watch, and screamed. "How long have we been here?" Koushirou looked at the main clock up near the ceiling. It was the same as his watch. "I'm thinking this is illegal!" It was eight o' clock at night! "Whatever happened to that old librarian anyway?" Daisuke asked. "And the other kids." Suddenly, the library's door began to creak. "What was that?" Daisuke asked. A strange figure appeared through the door, holding a small pendant in its hand. "Hello there. You must be Koushirou Izumi, and you are his friend, Daisuke Motomiya, correct?"
The two nodded, and the person stepped forward. It was a young woman, but she was
hiding in the shadows. "You don't know me, but I was sent here by Gennai. I suppose you know him." Koushirou winced. "Who are you, and how do you know who Gennai is?" Koushirou asked. "I am a long time friend of his. Back when Piedmon destroyed the control center, I escaped from his grasps. But sadly, Gennai did not. But he still lives today." Daisuke held his breath. "How do we know we can trust you on any of the things you say?"
"Please, there's no time to explain. We have to go now." She walked out of the shadows, and revealed a princess gown with jewelry, "Hey!" Daisuke gazed upon her. He began to blush a little. Koushirou did the same. "Hey, you're pretty cute," Daisuke said. She smiled, and took out a small pouch in her bag. She threw it into Daisuke and Koushirou's eyes, and they began to faint. "What a cute girl," Koushirou stammered, before collapsing.
Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the city, Miyako was busy talking on the phone with
Michael. "So, how was your day?" "It was pretty good," Michael said. "How was yours. I heard that Daisuke is giving you a hard time." "Where and when did you hear that?" "I have my sources." "Oh come on Michael, I need to know. Besides, Ken is on the other line. Do you want to talk to him?" "Not right now Miyako San. Remember, I am just waking up." Michael started to yawn, and Miyako giggled.
It has been months since Miyako chatted with Michael. Their friendship has become much
more powerful than ever before. As they continued to talk, Miyako couldn't help but think of all the things that she did with Michael in the past. Their first adventures in the Digital World. Their first date there, and the way Michael always knew just what to do when there is danger.
"Miyako?" "Yeah Michael?" "Can I talk to Ken now. I sort of want to chat with him,
privately." "Oh, sure. I'll hang up right now." Miyako pressed the button, and hanged up the phone. "Ken?" "Yes, this is Ken." "I have something important to tell you. I can't tell the others though, since they might not know what to do in this type of danger." "Yea, continue."
"Yesterday, I kept getting strange frequencies on my computer. It seems like a strange
Digimon virus has appeared over the Internet." "Could it be possible that it is Diablomon again?" "No, this one is far more powerful that Diablomon. It seems to be feeding on the all of the data online that contains a file, which can delete viruses. After that, it says it will begin to feed on files that have the word monster inside of it." "This is strange though. My computer does not show any sign of this at all." "I don't know about that, but I think this can get a little messy. Don't tell the others until I get more information, all right?" "Sure, I'll keep a look out for this virus."
Takeru pulled himself forward from the dirt. He wiped the dirt off of his face, and from
his shoulders. "Oh no, what is going to happen to Patamon?" He got back p and ran for the doors. He pulled on the glass handle, but it wouldn't budge. "Darn, it's stuck." He heard a small moan from the inside of the castle. It was Patamon's voice. "Ha! Hold on Patamon, I'm coming!" He began to bang his fists upon the door, trying to open it. He heard a moan from behind him. He took a small glance, and saw a white ghost. His eyes widened, and he began to pound on the door even more. "Help! A ghost!" "Hey kid." Takeru crouched down and saw it in front of his eyes. "Got some juice?" Takeru screamed and he rolled over to a nearby tree.
The ghost laughed and smiled. "What's wrong with you, I'm just a regular Bakemon."
"Bakemon?" 'Yes, Bakemon, a ghost Digimon. Who are you?" "My name is Takaishi Takeru." "Takeru?" Bakemon began to jump up and down. "You mean the same Takeru as the one who saved the Digital World from Devimon?" "Yea, I guess so." "Wow, can I have your autograph. Wait. Hold on, you look marvelous."
"Excuse me Bakemon, can you help me? I'm kind of busy." "Oh sure, I can." Bakemon
blew some wind and a net appeared. "Gotcha Digidestined!" "What?" Bakemon laughed as he stuck the net over Takeru's body. "Hey, let me go." "Sorry little boy, but my master wants to see you so I can get my reward." Takeru began kicking inside the net. He kicked Bakemon's face, causing him to fall into a puddle. "Stupid little boy." Bakemon grabbed Takeru as he ran for the chamber doors.
"The password is Master! The password is master!" The doors opened, and Tsukaimon
greeted him. "Look Tsukaimon, I captured this Digidestined." Tsukaimon glared at him. "We already captured him. Here's your reward." Tsukaimon sent out a beam of dark energy that disintegrated Bakemon, and left Takeru lying on the ground.
Tsukaimon laughed at Bakemon, and he flew towards Takeru. "You and your little friend
are going to get the treatment." Tsukaimon formed an orb around Takeru. "Hey, what's this?" "Your ride." Takeru's orb floated into the air. "Enjoy the ride." The orb floated up the stairs and into a glass wall. It smashed through the place, and into an under ground dungeon. He saw Hikari and the others inside a cage. Hikari was badly bruised, and Tailmon was trying to comfort her, while Patamon made some kind of tea.
The orb smashed through the bars, and Takeru collided with the others. "Takeru San,"
Patamon cried. "Are you all right?" Takeru rubbed his head, and saw a little drip of blood from his nose. "Not really. I better rest." Patamon blew some wind into his body. "How come you guys are so small?" Tailmon asked. "It's like you came from the past." "I don't know. We were like this when we got here." "I think they were changed to their younger forms for a reason."
"But Patamon, what are we doing here?" "We're going to try and escape. But not right now,
Hikari is too injured to move." "That's correct. She must be well before we proceed," Tailmon said, as she placed a towel over Hikari's head. She began to squirm around, and she immediately started to yawn. "Is she waking up?" Patamon asked. "Maybe, then we can get out of here." A low knocking sound came over them. A guard was passing out plates of food. "Eww, what is that?" Takeru asked. It was a greenish slime with yellow nuts on them. "Don't eat it, it's probably poison!" Tailmon cried.
Hikari slowly began to wake up. She yawned a bit more, and she saw the bruises all
over her. "What's going on?" she asked. "Hikari Chan, you're finally awake!" Tailmon cried, hugging her tightly. "Where am I?" "Thank god you're ok." "Takeru, what are we doing in here?" Hikari asked. "I don't know. But I want to get out of here. This place is creepy." "It's time to do that," Patamon said. He flew into place near the metal bars.
Patamon fired an air bubble at the bars. Foolishly, it just disappeared. "We have to get out
of here," Tailmon said. She pointed towards Hikari's Digivice. "Armor Digivolve us." Hikari took out her Digivice. She raised it up into the air, and light came out. "Digital Armor Evolution!" The light kept glowing, but then it dies down. Pretty soon, all of it disappeared. "Oh no, how come it won't work?" she asked. "Let me try," Takeru cried, taking out his. "Hey, wait a minute. These are our old Digivices." "Oh yeah, I guess I forgot about that. These old ones don't have enough power to hold up the armors. Man, now we can't get out." Tailmon screamed, and she started to slash the bars.
"Stop Tailmon, it's useless." Hikari pulled her away from the bars, and sighed. "Tailmon,
if only you had the power to Digivolve." Suddenly, Hikari felt something warm on her hand. She opened her palm, and Tailmon began to float into the air. She started to change form, and pretty soon, her cat body was replaced with an angel.
"Angewomon!" Hikari cried. She was standing inside the stone walls. She formed a silver
arrow in her arms, and she began to aim. "Stand back everyone," she said. Takeru and Hikari both went as far back as they could. Angewomon fired the arrow, and the cage doors busted open in a cloud of dust. "Great job!" Patamon cried. "Hurry, we must escape now," she said. Angewomon stepped out, and she began to feel a shock going through her nerves. She began to cry out, and electrical rays appeared next to them. "Oh no, Angewomon!" Hikari cried. The angel changed back to Tailmon, and the sparks stopped. A siren began to appear, and they heard voice. "Electric sensors restarting in twenty seconds." "Hurry," Takeru cried. The three ran out and Hikari grabbed Tailmon on the way.
"Damn, those little brats. Baka," Vamdemon whispered, sitting down on a soft chair,
drinking black blood from a pond. Tsukaimon and Black Tailmon were next to him, bowing. "You two better find a way to kill those little kids." "Yes master Vamdemon, we will find a way to kill off those four brats." "See to it that you do, I am getting very inpatient with this operation."
Takeru and the others ran through a long hallway. They noticed spy cameras were
following them. "Oh no, what if Vamdemon finds us?" Patamon asked. "We have to get help quick," Hikari said, cradling Tailmon in her arms. As they kept running, a strange smog began to form around their legs. "What's this?" Takeru asked, picking some of it up. "Eww, it smells like poop." The smog came higher, until it reached their legs. "Eww, it's sticky," Hikari cried, trying to walk. "It's gooey and thick. It's getting very heard to walk," Takeru commented. Now the smog was all the way up to their hips. "What do we do Hikari?"
Meanwhile, in the real world, Iori was busy making pies with his mom. He accidentally
dropped a big piece of the dough onto the ground. "Mama, what do I do now?" he asked. "It's alright Iori San. Just throw it away and start on another one. It really isn't that hard anyway." Iori tossed the scraps of dough into the garbage, then started another one. "Psst... Iori Kun." Iori turned around, and saw Upamon next to the door to his room. He walked over and closed the kitchen door behind him. "What is it Upamon?" Iori whispered. "Iori, I got a message from Hikari on your computer." "What has happened?" "I don't know, but you might want to check it out..."
"Always trying to help others, eh Iori Sama?" Iori turned around and saw his grandfather
come close to him. "What is it this time?" he asked. "Grandfather, I don't really know myself, but I am going to find out, right now." He walked into the room, and saw his computer glowing. "What is going on?" his grandpa asked. Iori examined the screen, and saw a low image with writing on it. "It looks like a distress call." "Will you two go into that world again?" Upamon nodded, and he jumped onto the screen. "We have to. If we want to save Hikari San." 'Then go ahead. Oh yeah, and take these." His grandfather handed Iori a pack of prune juice, and he left. "I better go help your mother with those pies."
"This way!" Patamon cried. They ran through a passageway, which led them to a pool
of thick slime. "Eww, what is that stuff?" "Digimon Manure." Takeru and Hikari both squeezed their noses. "How are we going to get past this part. It's only a room with no doors or windows,." Patamon flew into the room, and noticed a metal ladder. "You guys can use the ladder to climb up this thing. It's over there." Patamon pointed towards the other side of the room, where a little statue of Vamdemon stood. "You go first Hikari," Takeru said. Hikari placed Tailmon over her shoulders. She walked through the thin path, and then finally made it to the ladder.
"Start climbing," Takeru urged. Patamon began to fly up near the doors. "Hurry up
you guys." Takeru started to climb up the ladder, when suddenly, the doors below them slammed shut. "What's going on?" Takeru cried, grasping onto the hard handles. Patamon forced Hikari to climb up higher into the ladder. Tailmon began to feel a little pain come over her body, as her tail swiftly tried to hang onto Hikari's shoulders. "How long is this tunnel Patamon?" Patamon flew up into the ceiling, and saw a large spinning fan right above them.
"Takeru, I think you better check this out." Takeru looked up and saw the fan in all its
glory. "Oh no, what if we get sucked into that thing?" After a couple of seconds, a strange smell started to appear around them. "Do you guys smell that?" Hikari asked. She looked down, and saw the manure begin to bubble. "Eww, how come that stuff is bubbling down there?" "Just keep climbing Hikari and don't look down." When the smell started to get stronger, the group wondered and wondered. "YOU CAN'T GET AWAY!" A slimy serpent rose from the heavy manure, and took on a shape of a Devimon.
"Little children cannot come into this haven. You little boys and girls are all disturbing
my peace. I'm afraid that I'm not going to allow that. By hell I must kill you." Devimon stretched out his arms, and the gas inside became a heavy toxin fume. They all started to cough, as water spots appeared around them. "Now, rise to destroy these little kids." Devimon disappeared, and acid started to pour into the room from the air vents. As it started to rise, Takeru urged Hikari to keep on going up. The fan above them was now at full blast, but instead of blowing the acid back, it was sucking up the gas, building it up for an explosion.
"Perfect, they are in the gas chamber." Vamdemon closed his lips and sucked in the
blood taken from a Digimon. Too bad some Digimon only have data, while some can feel power within them." "I totally agree master Vamdemon. I think that id all Digimon contained blood, it would be lovely." Black Tailmon plopped around the ground, and fired a shot into the wall. "Darn, my energy blaze is getting fairly weak. I think I need to regenerate it from the gas fumes in that tunnel. How long will this process take anyway, master?" "Not long, wait for a while."
"Takeru, the smell is getting so bad!" A plop of goop fell from the fan and landed on
Patamon's head. "What is this stuff?" he asked. Patamon saw hot energy form around his body. "Ouch, it hurts so badly." Takeru saw this and he grabbed one of Patamon's wings. "You better rest in my backpack." When the acid began to boil even more, Hikari finally found a door. She grasped the handle, turned it, and waited for it to open. Nothing happened. "Hey, why won't the door open up?" she cried. She saw that the liquid was near Takeru's feet. "Hikari, hurry up!" "Open up!" One last bang and the door finally opened. Hikari and Takeru stepped into it, as the acid was just beginning to flow in with them.
Locking the door behind them, the group of kids ran through the halls of Vamdemon's.
"Takeru, are you sure you know where you are going?" "I don't know, I just wanna get out of here." As they approached a massive chained door, Takeru could feel a sudden chill in the air. "Gosh, do you think it seems a little weird in here?" "Takeru, everywhere around here is weird." Patamon began to make swift movements, trying to open up an air vent. "Let me have a go, Patamon." Takeru punched the vent with his fist, as it started to bleed. "Ouch!" Takeru dropped down loudly, and he heard a guard grunt nearby. "Oh no, did he hear us?" Hikari cried.
"Vamdemon, are you ready yet? I am getting very tired of these games." Vamdemon
slammed his fist, and Black Tailmon jumped. "Do I have to explain?" he said with a grin. "The longer we wait, the more energy I will receive from the gas around us. I am in no condition to wrinkle my clothes, especially when those kids are so close." Black Tailmon frowned, and Tsukaimon agreed. "You're right Vamdemon, we should wait. Besides, I don't feel like fighting right now." "But you better be ready. I'll send one of my guards to come help you when you need it."
"Come on Takeru, hustle!" Hikari screamed. "Sorry, I'm doing my best." Twisting the
steel handle, he grasped its edges, and turned. Patamon began to pull the steel handle. "It won't budge." Patamon blew out a bubble, and the door handle broke out. "Patamon, look what you did." Strangely, the door opened up, revealing a pool of ice. As they walked in, the door behind them slammed shut, and the room began to fill up with clouds of cold air. "Wow, it sure is cold in here." Takeru dipped his finger into the pool, and it began to shiver.
"Well, we have to get across, now come on." Takeru saw a long panel surrounding the pool.
"Lets cross through that, it should be stable enough to hold us." Hikari agreed, and she stepped onto the panel. It began to shift slowly, but it was strong enough to hold them. "You go first." Hikari walked through the panel, and as she began to get to the other end, she could feel a strange shaking near her feet. "Takeru, I don't think this is safe." Suddenly, a Digimon bursted out of the ice, causing water to splash over the group. The Digimon waved its fins around, shifting its tail in the process. "Don't think you can get away from me!"
"Oh my gosh, Tailmon!" Tailmon jumped out of Hikari's bag, and gasped. "It's one of Vamdemon's." Seadramon flashed a glare at Tailmon. "Since you were just getting up, I think it's time for a good shower." Seadramon froze the water around them, as well as the walls around them. "Oh my gosh, Hikari!" Seadramon blasted a force of wind over them, causing them to fall into the ice. Patamon and Tailmon managed to get Hikari, but Takeru's backpack was too heavy. He broke through the ice and into the water beneath. "Takeru, oh no." Patamon dived into the water, and saw black darkness dwelling beneath them. "This is a never-ending pit."
Patamon saw Takeru gasping for air. He swam down and grabbed his backpack, pulling
him up to the surface. Patamon saw a blast of dust blow through the icy water. "There!" Hikari pulled Takeru up, but Patamon began to stumble with the ice. Seadramon was thinking of other things, like stop wasting time! "Damn you two, go there now!" Seadramon unleashed a blizzard into the room. Hikari shielded her eyes, while Tailmon tried to get near Seadramon. "Hikari, come on, we need to get those two out of here." Hikari pulled Patamon up from the water, and forced him to keep moving. The ice started to build up, and they could hardly see each other. "We have to get out of here, now."
"Oxygen Homing!" "What the?" Seadramon turned around, and saw two air jets zooming towards him. "What is this?" The jets struck through him, causing him to growl in horror. "I can't be banished!" His tail started to disappear, along with the rest of his body. As soon as he was gone, Tailmon could see that the blizzard was over, and the ice was starting to melt before their very eyes. Hikari managed to pull Takeru out of the ice before all of it was gone. "I wondered what happened." "Are you guys alright? I came right away when I knew that you guys were in danger." Tailmon saw Iori San walk into the room with Armadimon.
Iori gasped as he saw Takeru and Hikari. "What happened to you two?" he asked. "Iori, at least you're here. Come help us." Iori and Armadimon walked over and helped Takeru up. "But you guys, how come you're both so young? Have you changed?" "Yeah, you guess don't seem like yourselves lately," Armadimon said, pushing Patamon over. Patamon squirted out some water, and opened his eyes. "Hey, what are you doing here, Armadimon?" "Iori, we don't know ourselves. When we came here, we were both changed, into what we were before." "That's strange, even though you two do seem quite weird with your old clothes on." Iori helped Patamon and Takeru both recover, immediately. "Iori, where did you learn how to recover people?" Hikari asked. "Jou gave me a few lessons in doing these things. He says I might need them someday."
After Iori was sure that Takeru and Patamon were alright to walk, he gave them some
prune juice for their thirst. "Iori, can you show us the way out of here?" Takeru asked. "Yeah, it wasn't easy getting in here though, so don't expect it to be any better going back the other way." Iori walked through the door, and gasped. "Hey, this wasn't like this when I came here." Somehow, the walls around them were covered with paintings of Digimon. Two passageways loomed in front of them. "So, what should we do now?" Tailmon asked. One of the passageways was filled with tropical flowers, while the other one was covered with floating stones.
"Who don't we head for the one with flowers?" Tailmon asked. "It might be a trick, why not that floating stone place?" Patamon responded. "Those rocks seem kind of creepy, I'd stick with the easy way out of this." "And what do you suppose that is?" "Let's just go to what seems best, that patch of flowers seem to be harmless." Iori stepped up. "Just to make sure it's safe, why don't I go first?" "Iori, that's not safe for you though," Takeru said. "Hey, don't worry." Iori, along with Armadimon, walked through the flowers. "I think it's safe in here," Iori called out. "But where's Armadimon?" Iori looked around, and gasped. "I don't know."
Out of the blue, thick, green vines started to lash around Iori's arms. "Iori Kun!" Takeru
cried out. Green sprays of pollen sprayed at Iori's face, and he began to groan. "I feel, energy..." More vines lashed on, surrounding the outer layer of Iori's clothes. "Iori, I'm coming!" "Stop Takeru!" Hikari grabbed his arm, and he collapsed near the flowers. "We can't help him anymore. Don't worry though, I'm sure that we'll find him soon." "But we can't just leave him there!" "Come on Takeru, let's just get out of here first!" Patamon and Tailmon both started to run up to the floating pebbles. "Come on, let's just get this over with." Takeru and Hikari ran after them. Passing through the pebbles, they slowly began to drop, one by one.
"This can't get any worse!" Hikari cried. "Or maybe it can..." Takeru and Hikari were
flashed away by a beam of light. Reappearing inside the throne room of Vamdemon. "So, my traps weren't able to kill you, but maybe my servants will." Tsukaimon and Black Tailmon appeared above them. "Is it time yet, master?" they asked. "Yes it is." Tsukaimon and Black Tailmon evolved into Devimon and Lady Devimon instantly. They both laughed, gazing at them. "We are now in our true forms. This is your last stop here in the Digital World, for good." Takeru and Hikari screamed as Lady Devimon slashed her long nail at them.
Patamon flew up and evolved into Angemon. "Takeru, get back, now!" Angemon took
out his long pole. "Holy Rod." Jabbing it at Lady Devimon, Devimon flew over and kicked Angemon's head, causing him to stumble. Devimon and Lady Devimon both fired a blast of darkness towards Angemon. "See you in hell!" The blast of darkness erupted the room, causing it to explode. Takeru was slammed far against the wall, and Hikari was dragged down into the Earth by the wind. Tailmon jumped up and evolved into Angewomon. "I still have energy to protect you two," she said. Angewomon formed an arrow towards Devimon.
"Holy Arrow!" She fired the arrow at Devimon. He noticed this and dodged quickly
from it. "Oh, so now there's an angel in the scene, well, I better take care of this one." Lady Devimon jumped into him. "Let me handle it." Lady Devimon flew towards her. "So girl, you wish to challenge me?" Lady Devimon flew up high. "Darkness Wave!" Thousands of bats appeared around her. "Take this!" The bats plunged towards Angewomon. "Heaven's Charm!" Angewomon blocked the darkness with her light. She struggled to keep hold, but it was too much. Angewomon gave in, and her body was captured in darkness. "Puwazon!" Lady Devimon charged at her with her long dark needle. Angemon saw this and quickly knocked her out of the way.
"Hey boy, what do you think you're doing?" Lady Devimon reached for him, but Devimon accidentally knocked her out of the way, trying to kill Angemon. "Devimon, what are you doing?" "Hey, you can't attack him, he's mine. Death Claw." Devimon grabbed Angemon's throat, hissing at his face. Angemon struggles to get free, but his grip held. Devimon tossed Angemon into the wall. "Rzaor Wing!" Bats flew out of the darkness, paralyzing Angemon on his sides. "You cannot overpower darkness." Lady Devimon gave a kick to Devimon's leg. "Never do that again!" Devimon glared at her, and she flew away.
"Now, to finish you off, angel girl." Hikari saw her forming another needle. "Angewomon, get out of the way!" Lady Devimon dived down at her. Hikari threw a stone at her eye. Lady Devimon dived down towards Hikari now. "Little girl." Angewomon formed another arrow in her arms. "Holy arrow!" Firing the arrow at Lady Devimon, she quickly placed all her energy into it. The arrow shot through the air. Lady Devimon saw this and quickly knocked it into the air, aiming at Devimon. The heavenly arrow instead sliced through Devimon's cloak. "Hey, watch it!" Takeru noticed Lady Devimon and Devimon fighting. "Here's your chance to fight back!" he told Angemon. "We don't have anymore power left."
"Listen Lady Devimon, you better leave all of this work to me!' "In your dreams!"
"Oh no, we have to win, or the world is going to get destroyed." Angewomon saw Hikari's determination, causing her to release all she had left. "Saint Aim!" Angewomon fired a twisted charm at Lady Devimon. Lady Devimon screamed as her body began to melt away. "No! This can't be! I have to win!" Her wings dropped down, and her legs tightened. Her entire face shattered, as Devimon watch her eyes burn with fire. "So you think you have won, by defeating that Digimon?" Devimon slammed another wave of dark energy at Angewomon's body, causing her to fall into Hikari's arms.
Angemon gave a twist. "Heaven's Knuckle's!" He fired a golden light at Devimon. He
cried out in pain as the light went straight through his body. "This can't be happening!" Devimon's dark energy shriveled up into a tiny form of energy, blasting away into the darkness. Vamdemon, who was watching nearby, shielded his eyes. "Those two fools. I knew they couldn't do it." He flapped his cape and walked into a dark passage. It closed up immediately, getting surrounded by hundreds of ice shards. The entire place began to collapse, with them in it. "Hold on Hikari!" Takeru grabbed Hikari and pulled her through the doorway. Angemon lifted Angewomon, and they flew out of the strange castle...
"I am Devimon! The rightful ruler of this world, and all the others that bestow
beyond me! Take me as your guardian!"
"I am Lady Devimon! Warrior for the last to dark species. I have come here to
take on the challenge that is granted!"
"When I'm through with you... Perhaps, you think this is all a game, when really,
this may be a matter of life and death. I will grant both of you a quest, a journey,
to here you truly deserve to be..."
"Hikari, are you alright?" Takeru touched her face. Tailmon and Patamon both laid
weakly in the grass. "I'll be fine." Hikari reached for her whistle. Touching only bare skin, she got up and searched for it. "I must have lost my whistle during the fight. I feel so horrible. I think my life has just been sucked out, for good." Takeru and Hikari gazed into the sky. It was turning into morning, already. The sun leaped out from the shadows, and warmed the grass. "How do we get back to our families?" "We'll find a way," Takeru smiled. "You know, maybe we can defeat them. Maybe, we can." Takeru coughed, and fell asleep.
When Takeru woke up, he was naked. Hikari was next to him, sleeping. Her clothes seem
to have been torn off. When he reached for his hat, he could feel the softness. Looking at his body, he laughed. "I'm back to normal..." Takeru looked into his backpack, and found some clothes he could wear, that actually fitted him. A moment later, Hikari awakened, finding Takeru naked in the sunlight. "What the? Hey!" Hikari grabbed for her backpack, and effortlessly grabbed some clothes. She began to blush a little, but tried to hide it in front of Takeru. When Takeru looked back, he could see Hikari putting her clothes on.
"Well, Takeru, I guess we're both back to normal now." Hikari noticed the dark castle
gone, without a trace. "This is strange." Takeru could see Tailmon and Patamon were both still injured. "How can we help our Digimon?" Takeru looked into his backpack, and found a small first aid-kit. He began to wrap Patamon's wings while he rubbed his belly. He could right away tell he was hungry. "We have to hurry and get these two some food." Takeru nudged Patamon's back, and he awakened, stunned at the appearance of Takeru.
"Well, at least you two are back to normal. But I wondered what happened to Iori.
Hope he's alright. Is he still here in the Digital World?"
