Well chapter 4 is finally up. I wasn't able to fit in any big fighting in this one so sorry. Some people have been wondering who the main bad guy is, the truth is that in these stories there are several different bad guys because they are all struggling to become the supreme one but luckily the digidestined are able to defeat them. Well enjoy the story.

The Digital Guardians

Chapter 4

Power's Retrieved and Help Awakened

(Veemon Narrating) Last week we had to fight a really nasty digimon named BlackKnightmon, if it hadn't been for the Guardians savin our butts again it wouldn't have happened. But what was really amazing was when Hunskmon had us use these cards that let us DNA digivolve again, and as Imperialdramon I totally beat his Digi-Butt.

Everyone is in the park talking, except for Davis. It was getting late so they decided they weren't waiting for him any longer and started talking without him.

"So you don't know how you reformed your crests?" asked Izzy

"No, we were to worried about our digimon." said Kari

"I think it might have been something you said." said Yolie

"Hey, I thought I said to wait for me." said Davis as he comes running to the group.

"We waited 30 Minutes and you hadn't came, so we figured we better get started." said Matt

"Sorry, my mom sprung some chores on me at the last minute, so what where you talking about?" asked Davis

"We were trying to figure out how TK and Kari reformed their crests. Yolie why do you think it has something to do with what they said?" asked Tai

"Well I think that what they said, when they were trying to wake up Patamon and Gatomon, had a part of it." explained Yolie

"But we didn't say anything special." said TK

"No but what you said probably came from your heart." said Sora

"Do you remember what you said?" asked Mimi

"No." said Kari

"I'm not sure but I think you said something like 'not letting Darkness beat the Light'." said Yolie

"Come to think of it I think I heard TK say 'We can't give up Hope'." said Cody

"It makes sense." said Izzy holding his chin.

"What does Izzy?" asked Joe

"Remember when Apoclymon almost defeated us." said Izzy

"You mean when he turned us in to data right." said Tai

"Right, we realized that the power of our crests was inside us and that we had to tap into that power to get our digimon to digivolve." explained Izzy

"Hey remember when that Being took over Kari to show us how we became the digidestind." said Sora

"That's right, she said that they created our Crests from qualities that we already had." continued Matt

"Um. I'm lost." said Davis

"Your not the only one." said Ken

"Huh." said Kari as she saw the younger kids frustration. "Guys your at it again."

"What Kari." said Tai looking confused at his sister.

"You keep forgetting these guys weren't with us back then." said Kari pointing to the younger kids.

"I may not have been around but I think I get the idea." said Ken "Kari and TK were able to reform their crests because they tapped into that power again."

"I was going to say that." said Izzy

"Sorry." apologized Ken

"That's okay. But that is the idea I was having. I think we should all try to find this power again if we're going to get our crests back." said Izzy

"Well we better find it quick. I have a feeling that were going to need them for something important." said Tai

"Speaking of important, Izzy have you figured out what the 'Amulets of Destiny' are?" asked Kari

"Well I've been working with Nathan to try to figure it out. He says he might have an idea but he wants to check it out to be sure." said Izzy

"Did he say anything about this idea?" asked TK

"No. He said he didn't want to bother us with it." said Izzy

"But we should be a part of this." protested Davis

"Relax Davis, I think he just doesn't want to get our hopes up if his idea is wrong." said Sora

"Besides, I'm sure he'll tell us if he finds something." said Kari

"If you say so Kari." said Davis staring at Kari over TK

"Davis stop drooling." said TK as he pushed Davis off him.

"Anyway," said Izzy after the scene Davis had made, "we should probably get home. The sun's going down and our parents will start worrying."

"Okay," said Tai, "but everyone meet back here at ten tomorrow, agreed."

Everyone shook their heads and left the park.

In the Digital World...

Nathan and Tunskmon are walking through the forest on the mountains of Server. There is a full moon out and they come to a clearing that is high up the mountains and gives a spectacular view of the valley.

"Wow!" said Tunskmon

"Will you look at that." said Nathan staring at the view. "When I see sights like this, it reminds me of what were fighting for."

"Ah, Nathan." said Tunskmon

"Yeah." answered Nathan

"WhiteKnightmon didn't tell you what that temple looked like when you were at his castle. Did he?" asked Tunskmon

"No," said Nathan, "why?"

"Turn around." said Tunskmon

"Well, if I had to find a temple. I'd say this fits the bill." said Nathan as he stared at the front of a building that was carved into the mountain. It had stairs leading to an entrance with pillars lining the way.

"Should we go in?" asked Tunskmon

"Well I guess we gotta make sure it's the right temple." said Nathan

"How many temples do you think are around?" asked Tunskmon defensively.

"This is the digital world, there can be temples all over." said Nathan as he walked up the stairs.

"I don't care how many temples their are, I think this is the place." said Tunskmon "There's the sentence on the door that WhiteKnightmon said."

"Well let's go in." said Nathan as he opened the large wooden doors.

"Not very impressive. Is it?" asked Tunskmon as they walked down the torch lit hallway.

"You have no taste you know. These walls are made out of solid marble and the pillars are made of aged Oak." said Nathan

"Well, when you put it that way, I guess its ok." said Tunskmon

"Your hopeless." said Nathan patting Tunskmon on the head.

"Yeah yeah! Uh, just how long is this hall anyway?" asked Tunskmon

"Relax, here's the door." said Nathan opening the door. "Whoa."

"Like I said, the hall was okay and this is impressive." said Tunskmon with an attitude.

"Okay, for once I'll have to agree with your taste." said Nathan still in shock of the room.

The room was very bright with marble walls and pillars around a central alter. The alter was surrounded by red carpet which led off in three direction, one of which they had come from. The alter was made of solid gold and had four spikes coming up at the corners. On the spikes rested four balls that just floated above the points.

"The Digi-Spheres!" exclaimed the two as they saw the alter and began walking towards it.

"Halt! Who goes there." came a British sounding voice from a person that came from one of the other entrances.

The person wore shining gold armor, like the medieval knights, and had his sword drawn in front of him.

"We just came to find the Digi-Spheres." answered Nathan

"What! You will not harm them." said the Knight as he then rushed them with his sword.

"Wait! We don't want to hurt them." said Tunskmon as he dodges a swing of the sword.

"Liars, you will .. Ah.." yelled the Knight as he fell to the ground and his sword goes flying.

"Quick Tunskmon, go get some water." said Nathan as he rushed over to the Knight.

"What, you want me to get water for some one who almost chop .. No way! It can't be." finished Tunskmon as he saw the knight face when Nathan took off his helmet.

"Nathan? They said .. you .. would .. come." said the Knight as he passed out again.

Nathan and Tunskmon are in a simple room with a bed. There is a person lying in the bed and the Knight's armor is on the ground at the foot of the bed.

"What happened?" said the Knight trying to get up.

"Easy, you fainted." said Nathan

"Nathan? It is you, I wasn't imagining it." said the Knight

"Nope, you didn't imagine us, but did you have to attack us." said Tunskmon smartly.

"I am sorry, I have just had so many experiences with people trying to harm the Digi-Spheres." said the Knight

"It's okay, but what happened to them, and what did you mean by 'they said you would come'?" asked Nathan

"It is a long story, and the Digi-Spheres said that you would come to help revive them." said the Knight

"Well that explains how you knew I would come." said Nathan

"What about the story." insisted Tunskmon

"Alright my friend. You see Nathan, when you and the other Guardians were put into the sleep the Digi-Spheres found themselves severely weakened. They had used much of their power to create your digivices and so were tied to you. When your power was cut off, from being put to sleep, they found that they had nearly no energy left. The little energy they had they used to create this temple. Time used to flow much slower in the temple then in the rest of the digital world and so they appointed me to guard it and then they went and rested themselves on the alter." explained the Knight

"But if their power was tied to us shouldn't they have awakened when we did?" asked Nathan

"No, even though they were tied to you they knew that your power would not be enough to awaken them so they set about the means that could create the Amulets of Destiny." said the Knight

"Their mentioned in the inscription on the doors." said Tunskmon

"Exactly, do you have them Nathan?" asked the Knight

"Ah not exactly, we've been trying to find them ever since WhiteKnightmon told us about the inscription." said Nathan "Of course it might help if we knew what they looked like."

"Then I will show you." said the Knight as he got out of bed.

He stood as tall as Nathan but was wearing brown slacks and a light tan shirt. He had short blond hair and light tan eyes, his skin was white and he was built like a warrior ready for a fight.

"Wait, you know what they look like?" said Tunskmon

"Yes. Their images are engraved in the Key panel of the alter." said the Knight as he walked out of the door with Nathan and Tunskmon following.

"We didn't see any panel." said Nathan

"That is because it is hidden." said the Knight as they entered the center room and walked up to the alter.

"Where's the panel?" asked Tunskmon giving the Knight a stare.

"Right here." replied the Knight as he pushed a hidden switch on the under side of the alter. A panel then began to slide out of the alter.

"I don't believe it." said Nathan as he saw the images on the panel.

The next morning in the Real World...

"Is everybody here?" asked Tai

"Were still waiting for Ken." said Davis

"There he is. Morning Ken." said Yolie as she runs to greet him.

"Good morning everyone." said Ken as he joined the group.

"Morning!" said Minomon jumping out of his arm.

"So did you have any luck with your crests?" asked Ken starting the conversation.

"No." they all said.

"I tried really hard." said Mimi

"I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually." assured Sora

"Yeah." agreed Matt with a depressed voice.

"Did you find out anything Izzy?" asked Tai

"No, except Genni sent me an e-mail on what the two weapons, from TK and Kari's dream, are suppose to look like." answered Izzy

"Let's see it." said Tai

"Okay, just a sec." said Izzy getting out his laptop and bringing up a picture. "Here it is, see."

Izzy turned his computer around to show the others. In the picture was a sword with a gold colored handle and a blade that looked like it was made out of crystal. The staff had a red handle with a large gold image of an angel on one end and a small crystal held on with gold at the other.

"Wow. I don't suppose he mentioned where to find them, did he?" asked Davis

"Nope, he just said he found the picture in an old book." replied Izzy as he put away his laptop.

"Excuse me children but could you help me find something?" asked a man in a brown trench coat and hat that had come up on them.

"Sure what are you looking for?" asked Yolie

"I'm looking for some objects called the Amulets of Destiny." replied the man

"Who are you? Come on Matt lets grab him." said Tai as he and Matt grabbed the man's arms.

"Ha ha ha. Gotch ya." laughed the man.

"Huh?" everyone asked confused and Tai and Matt letting go in the confusion.

"Maybe this will help." said the man taking off his hat to show that it was Nathan.

"Nathan? What are you doing here? asked Izzy

"I tried contacting you at your homes but your parents said you had gone to the park. So I decided I had to come here to get you." explained Nathan

"But why the disguise?" asked Yolie

"I had to make sure no one saw me. Even though this isn't the digital world I could still get attacked by digimon and that would have endangered innocent people." explained Nathan

"Oh, a sorry about the arm." said Tai

"Perfectly okay." said Nathan

"You mentioned something about the Amulets of Destiny, do you know where they are?" asked Izzy

"Always right to business with you isn't it Izzy. Anyway, I do know where the Amulets are, and I also found the temple that WhiteKnightmon spoke of and it is the resting place for the Digi-Spheres."

"Cool, but where are the Amulets?" asked Sora

"You children hold the Amulets." said Nathan

"No we don't." said Joe defensively and confused.

"The Amulets of Destiny is just another name for the crests of the original eight digidestind." said Nathan catching everyone by surprise.

"But we still haven't been able to get back the rest of our crests, only Kari and TK have." said Izzy

"That's okay, we'll deal with getting the rest back when we get to the temple." said Nathan

"Okay, we'll all go to my house and us the computer there." said Izzy standing up ready to go.

"No, we're not going to use a computer." said Nathan

"How come, if we don't use a computer we can't get to the digiworld." said Yolie

"How do you think I got here?" asked Nathan

"Actually I think we all assumed you used a computer." said Ken

"That's okay, I'll show you how I got here." said Nathan as he looked around to make sure no one was around, then he pointed his finger at the ground and shot a beam from it. He moved his finger up, over, and back down then snapped his fingers and the archway he created filled with energy.

"A gate." said Izzy shocked

"It comes in handy to be able to create temporary gates, now come on. The temple is waiting." said Nathan as he walked through and the others followed.

They come out of the gate in front of the temple at the bottom of the stairs.

"That's a lot nicer than the Digi-Ports." said Ken

"Yeah, you don't go flying out of it." pointed out Yolie

"Children the entrance to the temple is up these stairs." said Nathan as he led the group up the stairs. "You might want to watch out for the temple's guardian though, he was a bit jumpy when me and Tunskmon ran into him last night."

"Will he hurt us?" asked Mimi

"Don't worry, he's expecting you but I'll make sure to tell him who you are just in case." said Nathan to comfort the children.

"Look, it's the phrase that WhiteKnightmon told us about on the door." pointed out Cody

"Yes, but wait till you see inside." said Nathan as he opened the doors and walked inside.

"Come on guys." said Davis motioning everyone in after Nathan.

"Wow, these walls are beautiful." said Yolie

"But still a little creepy." said Kari

"Don't worry Kari, I'll protect you." said Davis as he stepped in front of Kari.

"Oh brother." sighed TK and Tai

Suddenly a sword came out from behind one of the pillars and came down right in front of Davis. Davis jumped right behind Kari.

"What are you going to do, protect my back Davis." said Kari with a disappointed voice.

"Stop these are the digidestind." said Nathan grabbing the Knights arm.

"I'm terribly sorry." apologized the Knight

"That's okay, but what's your name?" asked Mimi

"Children may I introduce Sir Michael Coffey, former knight of the British crown." said Nathan

"May I remind you friend, that you are never a former knight in her majesties service." said Michael

"Wait, you two are friends?" asked Davis

"Yes, but Michael's arrival in the digital world predated me and the Guardians." said Nathan

"But why was he here?" asked Yolie

"The Digi-Spheres brought me to fight the evil because of my skill with the sword. They gave me a digivice, crest, and digimon. They even gave me powers to fight the evil, but even I was not enough to change the course of events." explained Michael

"That's when we were brought back. Michael had an enhanced version of the ordinary digivices and the Digi-Spheres use it as a template but enhanced it even more to create our digivices. From what he has told me, that took a lot of their energy and so when we went into the sleep they had very little energy left." said Nathan

"They used what remained of their energy to create this temple and also set the beginnings of your crests. Then they appointed me the temple guardian and went to the alter to rest." finished Michael

"But Genni's people created our crests." said Sora

"Yes but the Digi-Spheres helped to ensure that they would have the power that would be needed." said Michael

"Oh, unfortunately we don't all have our crests. Only TK and Kari have been able to reform theirs." said Matt

"No need to worry. My crest will help to reform yours." said Michael

"Wow what crest do you have?" asked Izzy very excitedly.

"I have the crest of Honor." said Michael as he pulled out his crest from under his armor. The crest had a shield on it with two swords crossed inside the shield.

"And it truly suits him to. He has the highest felling of honor than anyone I've ever known." said Nathan patting him on the back.

"So how do we get our crests back?" asked Tai his hopes rising.

"Follow me." said Michael as he led them past the center chamber and to the right. They came to a room with ten pedestals near the door and one further on with the shape of a crest on it.

"What's with the pedestals?" asked Davis

"They are to hold the tags for the crests while the person stands in front of the outer pedestals facing the center pedestal." explained Michael

"But how come there are ten pedestals, their was only eight of us original digidestind and two of us already got them back?" asked Joe

"As you have scene with the Guardians and I, you are not the only ones with crests. This chamber can be used to recover any lost crest and that is why there are more pedestals." explained Michael

"Oh. So what do we do now?" asked Joe

"Each of you with a tag, take it off and pace it on a pedestal." Michael said as he walked over to the far pedestal and put his crest into the slot.

"Now what?" asked Tai

"Now, I need you to think back to how you felt when you first learned how you had been chosen to be digidestined out of all of the children in the world. How did you feel?" asked Michael

"We felt honored." said Sora

"Exactly, now close your eyes and concentrate on that feeling." instructed Michael "Now, starting with the boy with the out of control hair, say the name of your crest."

"Courage."

"Friendship."

"Love."

"Sincerity."

"Knowledge."

"Reliability."

As each one said their crest name they began to be surrounded by energy that was the same color their crests use to give off. Michael's crest was also giving of a white energy that was going into the digidestind's tags.

"Now open your eyes." said Michael

They opened their eyes just in time to see the energy leave their bodies and collect in their tags to form their crests.

"It worked." said Sora

"Prodigious!" exclaimed Izzy

"Does this mean our digimon can digivolve to ultimate again?" asked Izzy

"Yes, and even beyond if they could do so before." said Michael

"All right!" yelled Matt and Tai jumping up and down.

"Well now that you have your crests how about we go wake some old friends." said Nathan to the group.

"Okay." said the group.

"Then follow me." said Michael as he took his crest back and went to the center room.

"What now?" asked Davis

"We follow." said TK as they all went after Michael

When they get to the alter they found that the keypad was already out. On the pad there are eight crest slots with their symbols above them.

"Hey our crests are reacting to something." said Kari as their crests started glowing.

"Their reacting to the alter, now place your crests in the slots." explained Michael

They all placed their crests in to the slots and stepped back as the orbs started glowing. When the glow died down the orbs had each taken on a color, Green, Red, Blue, and Brown. Then the brown one started pulsating.

"Thank-you for reviving us digidestined." came a voice from the brown orb.

"Ah, your welcome." said Joe confused.

"Do not be afraid." said the green orb as it pulsated.

"You have done what no one else could do." said the red orb

"And for that we will be forever grateful." said the blue orb

"So you're the Digi-Spheres?" asked Kari

"Yes, and now that we are back we will be able to help protect the digital world again." said the green orb

"Please don't take this the wrong way, but how can you help?" asked Sora

"They made it possible for Wolfmon and the others to digivolve like your digimon can. Plus they can control the forces of nature in the digital world." said Nathan

"But if your so powerful then how come you can't just stop the evil?" asked Davis

"We are powerful, but we can only work to keep the balance. No one, on Earth or the digital world, is powerful enough to get rid of all evil." explained the blue orb

"But now if you are ever in real trouble we will be able to help." said the red orb

"Gee thanks." said Yolie

"Your welcome." said the brown orb

"So now what do we do?" asked Mimi

"Now, you may take back your crests." said the green orb as the crests lifted out of the slots and reentered the children's tags.

"You children should better get going. I promised your parents you'd be back by noon." said Nathan

"Do we have to?" complained Davis

"Yes, the digital world is quiet right now. Besides you know we will contact you if their is trouble." said Nathan

"Okay." said Davis lowering his head.

"But how do we get back. You brought us here Nathan, and I don't see any TV's around." pointed out Izzy

"Where do you need to go?" asked the green orb

"I guess to our homes." said Tai

"Very well." said the blue orb

Suddenly nine gates open on the sides of the room.

"Those are our homes." said Kari

"They can open gates to?" asked Izzy

"Of course. They gave me the ability to open the gates. Now you better get going or you'll get me in trouble with your parents." said Nathan

"Bye." said everyone as they stepped through the gates.

"I'm afraid I have to go to. I didn't get much sleep last night and it's time I return to our base. But before I go, what happened to your Betamon?" asked Nathan

"He was defeated in the battle with Apocalymon and I'm afraid I do not know what happened after that. I looked for him at Primary Village but I never saw him come back." said Michael

"I'm sorry, goodbye for now." said Nathan as he went and left the room.

"Goodbye Nathan. We are always available when you need us." called out the red orb as Nathan walked out of sight.

Now that the digidestind have their crests back and have new allies what will happen in the digital world.

Find out on the next Digimon:The Digital Guardians
