The New Digimon Return

Chapter 7: The Ultimate Battle

"Hello, this is Cody. Joe, Armadillomon, and myself appeared in the Digital World right in front of the Digital Ocean, which reminded Joe of their last battle with the Dark Master Metalseadramon. We quickly found out that not only was Leathermon in the area, but also a new digiegg. Little did we know that Gomamon and Megaseadramon were watching us with a group of Divermon. After we found our way to the cave that had both Leathermon and the new digiegg in it, Armadillomon armor digivolved to Digmon, and drilled us a hole down to the cave since we thought that it was inaccessible at the time. Joe lowered himself down into the hole with a rope only to have it cut by one of the Divermon's spears, but Digmon made short work of the dark rings that were controlling them. That is when Ikkakumon and Megaseadramon attacked us. Luckily Joe and Alimon, Leathermon's Champion form, showed up to help us. In order to fight against us better, Ikkakumon dark digivolved to Zudomon, which forced Alimon to digivolve to Cyberalimon, and he did his best to try and hold off both Zudomon and Megaseadramon so that Joe, Armadillomon, and myself could get the new digiegg. Once we got to the digiegg, I was able to pick it up, and Armadillomon used it to armor digivolve to Submarimon, and with Cyberalimon's help we were able to free Megaseadramon from the dark spiral that was controlling him, and defeat Zudomon. But a controlled Airdramon took Gomamon away before we could free him. We returned to the real world to find that everyone had found their digimon again, and are now getting ready to fight Ken once again."

Tai had not gotten much sleep the night before, he could not stop thinking about Agumon and the others, still under the control of the Digimon Emperor. He wanted to go straight to the Digital World and free his friend, but he also knew that was not the wisest thing to do, and he waited till morning when they would all return to the Digital World. After Davis, Cody, and Yolie had left the day before, Tai, Matt, Izzy, Mimi, Sora, Joe, TK, and Kari had all stayed behind to talk about their plan of action, and had decided that when they returned to the Digital World the next day they would not leave without their friends. Now was the time to make that promise come true.

The only problem with that, was that it was a Saturday, and the school, along with the computer room in the school, was not open for them to use, so Izzy had told everyone to come to his place in order to try something. It had not taken everyone long to get there, and Izzy quickly went into his theory, "I believe that we do not have to use the computers at school anymore, and that we can just use any computer to got to the Digital World."

"What do you mean Izzy?" Sora asked.

Izzy thought for a moment, and then spoke again, "Well Sora, I believe that it is not the computer that is the key to the Digital World, but the new digivices." Before anyone could say anything, Izzy continued, "I have had this theory since just after the gate reopened for the first time, and I believe that this is the best time to try it out." Izzy looked at Yolie, and nodded. "Yolie here has agreed to put this theory to the test."

Everyone watched as Izzy moved out from in front of his computer, and Yolie stepped up to it, "Well, here goes nothing," Yolie said as she held her D-3 up in front of the computer, "Digiport Open!" she said. Everyone watched as the picture on the screen changed from the Swimming Fish screen saver to the familiar and welcome site of the opened digiport. At that moment, everyone let out a breath of satisfaction.

Tai walked up behind Izzy, and putted him on the back, "Good job Izzy," he paused looking at the portal again, "but I do wish that you had told us about his a lot sooner, it would have saved us a lot of close calls with our families."

"I know, but I figured that this would be the best time to test this out." Izzy said

"Don't worry about it Izzy," Matt said, "I think that I speak for everyone here when I say that we are just glad that we now have a way to get to the Digital World."

"But what about your folks Izzy?" Joe asked.

"They are gone for the day." Hoofmon said.

Davis suddenly stood up, knocking Demiveemon, who had been sitting on his lap, completely off of it, "Then what are we waiting for, lets go an save those digimon." Everyone agreed with Davis, and they all held out their digivices and D-3's. A light filled the room, and when it faded, everyone was gone.

*******

Ken the Digimon Emperor could not believe that these 6 new digimon had not only been able to beat back his new warriors, but they were also able to digivolve, a ability that his control spires had been able to successfully block until now. As always his own partner digimon Wormmon was following him around like a lost puppy. Ken had no idea why he had gotten such a weak and useless digimon for a partner, but he would soon rectify that mistake. As he entered his control room, he activated one of the monitors, and looked at his creation. It was nearly finished, only another day or two and it would be. Wormmon moved up next to Ken, and looked up at the image in horror, "Ken, I beg you not to go through with this latest plan. You have Agumon and the others, why do you need this new creation?"

Ken looked down at his partner, a look of disgust radiating in his stare, "Agumon and the other digimon have failed me," he said in an angry voice, "and those 6 new digimon that the digidestined have can digivolve even when there is a control spire in the area, so don't tell me that I do not need my latest creation." He then looked at Wormmon, "And for the last time don't call me by that name, I am the Digimon Emperor." Ken then turned away from the small digimon and turned his attention back to the wall of screens. It was there that he saw something of interest, "They have returned." He said to nobody in particular, and turned around to head out of the control room. Wormmon lust looked at the image on the screen one last time, and turned to leave himself.

******

With Gatomon and Purrmon taking the lead, the digidestined walked up a fairly steep hill, in an area that Izzy had felt was the most likely place for the Digimon Emperors base of operations. Even before they had left the Real World, Tai knew that they would not have the element of surprise on their side, so he had told Pyromon and the other digimon to be ready to digivolve at a moments notice. As they neared the top of the hill, Tai held his hand up, signaling everyone to stop, "I am going to check things out," he explained, "Matt, Davis, and Sora will come with me, the rest of you stay back and wait for us to signal you to move in." After getting a nod from everyone, Tai and his group moved to the top of the hill, and peered over it. Remembering how useful it had been during their first adventure in the Digital World, Tai had thought to bring his old monocular along this time, and pulled it out to take a look around.

"What do you see Tai?" Pyromon asked.

"A lot of control spires," Tai said, "and there are several digimon all around them, both with and without dark rings and spirals on them." Tai took another look, and then smiled as he saw what he had hoped to see down there, "Yes," he said suddenly, "I see Ken as well as Agumon, Biyomon, Gabumon and the others." Tai then pulled the monocular away from this eye, and handed it to Matt.

"Well," Matt said, as he looked though the device, "I guess that Izzy was right again." Matt then handed it to Davis.

Davis held it up to his eye, "Then I say that we go down there, and free them along with all of the other digimon down there."

"I don't know about that plan Davis," Sora said as she took the monocular from him, "there are an awful lot of controlled digimon down there along with our six, we could have quite a fight on our hands if we are not careful."

Tai thought it over, and then turned to Matt, "Well we have heard what both Davis and Sora have to say about this, Matt what do you think?"

Matt looked over the side of the hill again, "I would have to agree with Davis on the fact that we can not just leave all of those digimon down there for Ken to control, but on the other hand Sora has a point about not rushing into a situation that we could wind up regretting getting involved with." Matt thought for a moment, "Maybe we should go back and ask the others what they think about this situation." Tai nodded with this suggestion, obviously coming to the same conclusion himself, and they all headed back to the rest of the digidestined.

******

Wormmon moved back into the control room, and looked at the monitor that still had the image of Ken's latest plan on it. Wormmon bowed his head, closed his eyes, and began to shake his head, "Why won't Ken listen to me about this new plan. What ever happened to that kind gentle kid that I first met all those years ago."

"Do not worry my little friend," came a voice from one of the monitors, "hope is thin, but it is still there for Ken."

Startled by the voice, Wormmon looked up, and saw that a monitor that had once had a picture of the Digital World on it was not showing the head and shoulders of a young man. He had long brown hair, tied in a ponytail that hung down his back, and was wearing a robe. "Who are you?" Wormmon asked.

The man just smiled back at the small digimon, "Come now Wormmon, I know that it has been a long time since you last saw me, but I would have thought that you would still remember me."

"I do remember you," Wormmon said as he looked harder at the man, " you were there when I first hatched from my Digiegg, your Gennai!"

Gennai smiled at the digimon and nodded, "I knew that you would remember me." He said, and his face then took on a serious look, "Wormmon, I have contacted you to let you know that Ken will soon come to a crossroad, were he must choose the light or the darkness. When that time comes, you must be the beckon that guides him to the light."

Wormmon shook his head, "But how can I do that Gennai when he won't even listen to me?"

Gennai smiled at Wormmon, "You will find a way, of that I have no doubts." Gennai's image then began to fade away, "Just trust in yourself and your duty to protect Ken, and a way will be found." And with that Gennai was gone, and Wormmon just stared at the monitor.

******

Davis, Kari, TK, Cody, Yolie, and their Digimon all moved up to the top of the hill, and looked over it. Not all that long ago, they had all come up with an attack plan, and now they were almost ready to go. Kari held up her D-Terminal, and looked at it, reading an e-mail message that had just come in;

Kari we are in position and ready for your group to begin the attack.

Tai

Kari looked at the others and nodded. They all pulled out their D-3's, and held them up at their digimon partners. "Let's do this," Davis said, "Digiarmor Energize!" A ball of blue energy leapt out of the D-3, and hit Veemon.

"Veemon armor digivolve to…Raidramon, The Storm or Friendship!"

TK looked at Patamon, "You Ready?" the small digimon nodded, "Digiarmor Energize!" and a ball of yellow energy leapt out of TK's D-3 and hit Patamon.

"Patamon armor digivolve to…Pegasusmon, Flying Hope!"

"Let's do it Hawkmon," Yolie yelled, "Digiarmor Energize!" and a ball of red energy leapt out of Yolie's D-3 and hit Hawkmon.

"Hawkmon armor digivolve to…Halsemon, The Wings of Love!"

"Go for it Armadillomon," Cody said, "Digiarmor Energize!" and a ball of purple energy leapt out at Armadillomon.

"Armadillomon armor digivolve to…Digmon, The Drill of Knowledge!"

"Ready to go?" Kari asked Gatomon

"Always am." Gatomon said.

"Then let's do it, Digiarmor Energize!" Kari shouted as a ball of pink energy leapt out at Gatomon.

"Gatomon armor digivolve to…Nefertimon, The Angel of Light!"

Davis, Yolie, Kari, and TK quickly jumped onto the backs of their digimon partners, "Remember to try and stick to the plan." TK said.

"Don't worry TM, we will do our part of the plan, and you do yours." Davis said in his usual arrogant manner, "Now, lets do it Raidramon."

******

Tai looked through his monocular, and watched as Davis and Raidramon headed down the hill, with Cody and Digmon hot on their tail. Yolie on Halsemon, TK on Pegasusmon and Kari on Nefertimon flew overhead. "They're on the move," Tai said to the others, "let's go." Tai and Pyromon then lead the other digidestined to their target. It was a simple plan, to be honest, Davis and the others would attack from the front of the base, and distract all of the other controlled digimon in that area, with an eye at either freeing them, or knocking out the control spires, while Tai's group would move around behind, and take Ken and the other digimon by surprise, and if Davis's group could, they would help to free Agumon and the others form the Dark Spirals. If all went well, they could surprise Ken and free their friends without much of a battle at all. At least, Tai and the others had hoped that it would not be much of a battle.

******

"What is happening?" Ken bellowed at Agumon and the others as a blast of energy hit the ground just behind him.

"The digidestined are attacking." Tentomon said.

"Then it is time for us to counter attack." Ken said as he pulled out his Dark Digivice, "Now Dark Digivolve and attack them." The Dark Digivice lit up, and one by one all 6 of the digimon began to glow as well.

"Agumon dark digivolve to…Greymon!"

"Gabumon dark digivolve to…Garurumon!"

"Biyomon dark digivolve to…Birdramon!"

"Tentomon dark digivolve to…Kabuterimon!"

"Palmon dark digivolve to…Togemon!"

"Gomamon dark digivolve to…Ikkakumon!"

The 6 Champion digimon lined up and prepared to launch their attacks at the approaching digidestined and their digimon, "Now attack Greymon and Garurumon." Ken ordered.

"Nova Blast!" Greymon shouted.

"Howling Blaster!" Garurumon followed.

Both attacks flew shot out at Davis and Raidramon, when suddenly "Lava Flame!" could be heard, and Greymon and Garurumon's attacks before they even hit.

"Feather Launcher!" was shouted right after that, and several missile like feathers hit the 2 digimon before they could react to the first attack, and knocked them both down.

"WHAT!" Ken shouted, and then saw Dragimon and Griffimon land in front of them. Tigramon, Rosemon, Alimon, and Toromon ran up to join them.

Tai and the others then ran up to the digimon, "Release our friends now Ken, or else you will be in for the fight of your life."

Ken looked at the digidestined, and suddenly began to laugh, "You must take me for a fool. Your digimon do not have any chance at defeating my digimon." He then turned to the 6 digimon, "Well, what are you waiting for, dark digivolve to your Ultimate forms."

"You guys get ready to." Matt said to the 6 digimon, and they all nodded.

"Greymon dark digivolve to…Metalgreymon!"

"Dragimon digivolve to…Ultradragimon!

"Garurumon dark digivolve to…Weregarurumon!"

"Griffimon digivolve to…Knightmon!"

"Birdramon dark digivolve to…Garudamon!"

"Tigramon digivolve to…Sabertoothedtigramon!"

"Kabuterimon dark digivolve to…Megakabuterimon!"

"Toromon digivolve to…Minitarmon!"

"Togemon dark digivolve to…Lillymon!"

"Rosemon digivolve to…Thornedrosemon!"

"Ikkakumon dark digivolve to…Zudomon!"

"Alimon digivolve to…Cyberalimon!"

The 12 digimon looked at each other, and then Tai spoke up "Now, Split!" he shouted and each of the 6 digimon split up and headed into different directions.

"After them!" Ken ordered, and all 6 of the digimon headed off, each after one of the other digimon.

******

Sora and Sabertoothedtigramon ran for a little bit, but the large form of Garudamon landed in front of them, "Give it up now digidestined." Garudamon ordered as she stomped her large foot down on the ground hard enough to knock Sora off of her feet.

"I don't think so Garudamon," Sabertoothedtigramon said as she leapt up at the much larger digimon, and at the same time throwing both of her paws back, "Fire Stripes!" she shouted, as a large strip of fire lashed out at Garudamon.

"Phoenix Claw!" Garudamon shouted as she swung her large hand through the strip of fire, and dispelled it, and at the same time she knocked Sabertoothedtigramon back down to the ground hard. "If that was your best shot, then the Emperor has nothing to worry about in defeating you."

"Guess again Garudamon," came a shout from behind her, "Tempest Wing!" A blast of energy hit the Dark Spiral on Garudamon's leg as Halsemon and Yolie flew around in front of Garudamon.

"It will take more than that weak attack to stop me Halsemon." Garudamon shouted as she prepared to set up to attack Halsemon and Yolie, "Wing Blade!" she shouted.

As the giant firebird leapt out to BBQ Yolie and Halsemon, Sabertoothedtigramon jumped up, and brought the palms of her claws together, "Then let's see if this attack will work then, Energy Ray!" she shouted, and a powerful blast of energy shot out from paws, and struck the Dark Spiral just as the firebird was about to hit Yolie and Halsemon, destroying it completely. Without the power of the Dark Spiral, Garudamon reverted back into Biyomon, and the attack disappeared.

Sora quickly ran over to Biyomon, and gathered her into her arms, "Biyomon, are you ok?"

Biyomon looked up at Sora, and smiled, "I am now Sora," she said in a weak voice, "thanks for saving me."

"Any time Biyomon," Sora said as she brought her partner into a big hug, "any time."

******

Minitarmon ducked as Megakabuterimon flew down over him again. "You can't dodge me every time Minitarmon." Megakabuterimon said as he swung around for another pass.

"I won't have to Megakabuterimon." Minitarmon said as the giant insect digimon charged at him at top speed. This time instead of jumping out of the way though, Minitarmon jumped up, and grabbed Megakabuterimon's horn, and then swung up onto his back.

"Be careful Minitarmon." Izzy shouted as Megakabuterimon flew up high.

Maneuvering himself so that he was facing the direction that they were both headed in, Minitarmon brought his club up, "Lighting Club!" he shouted, as he brought his club down hard on Megakabuterimon's head. The insect digimon immediately crashed to the ground.

That was when Pegasusmon and Nefertimon flew in, "Lets tie him up Nefertimon." Pegasusmon shouted.

"Ready when you are partner." Nefertimon shouted back. The 2 digimon crossed each other, "Golden Noose!" they both said that the same time, and an energy rope appeared between the two digimon. They then flew at Megakabuterimon, and rapped the rope around him.

"Now Minitarmon," TK began,

"Destroy the Dark Spiral." Kari finished.

"You got it guys," Minitarmon said, "Atomic Horns!" he shouted as the tips of his 2 horns shot out, and struck the spiral, destroying it completely. Megakabuterimon then reverted back into Tentomon.

"Tentomon," Izzy shouted as he ran up to his fallen partner, "are you ok?"

Tentomon looked up at Izzy, "I'll be fine Izzy, just as soon as I eat something."

"I guess some things never change." Minitarmon said with a smile, and all three of them laughed at that one.

******

Joe ran up to the edge of the lake that Cyberalimon and Zudomon had ran into. Though he could not see either of the digimon, he knew that this had to be because they were under the water right now. Cody and Digmon ran up to him, "What's going on Joe?" Cody asked.

"Cyberalimon and Zudomon are under the water," Joe said, "I wish that I could help them out in some way."

Digmon looked at Joe, "Maybe you can't Joe, but we can." Digmon then began to glow, and reverted back to Armadillomon, sending a purple beam of energy back into Cody's D-3.

"Let's get wet partner." Armadillomon said.

Cody smiled and held up his D-3, "Lets do it, Digiarmor Energize!" as Cody said this a black ball of energy leapt out of the D-3, and struck Armadillomon.

"Armadillomon armor digivolve to…Submarimon, the Reliable Guardian of the Sea!"

Cody quickly jumped up to the top of Submarimon, and climbed into the small control module. "Don't worry Joe," he said as he laid down in it, "we will be right back with Gomamon." Before Joe could say anything else, the module closed, and Submarimon moved into the lake, and disappeared bellow the water.

Zudomon through a punch that connected with Cyberalimon's chin, and sent him flying back into a large rock, and began to advance on the other digimon. Momentarily dazed by the hit, Cyberalimon did not even realize that Zudomon was standing next to him with his hammer raised, "Goodbye Cyberalimon, it was a good fight, but it ends here." Zudomon began to bring the hammer down on the other digimon when several projectiles hit it, and sent it flying out of Zudomon's hand. It was at that time that Submarimon and Cody zipped past Zudomon and took up a position between him and Cyberalimon.

"Hold it right there Zudomon," Submarimon said, "we don't want to fight with you, but we will if we have to."

As Submarimon said this, Zudomon watched as Cyberalimon stood up behind him, obviously recovered from the last attack. "Then we end this now." Zudomon said as he turned and made a dash for his hammer, which only laid a short distance from them.

"I couldn't agree more," Cyberalimon said as he programmed in a command on his wrist computer, and then took aim with all of his cannons, "Cyber Cannon!" he shouted, and a blast of energy leapt out of all three of them, and hit Zudomon just as he reached his hammer. But instead of knocking Zudomon back from the force of the shots, they held the Ultimate level digimon in place, "I have him in the lock a powerful tractor beam." He said to Cody and Submarimon, "Go for the Dark Spiral now."

In the small module, Cody nodded, "You heard him Submarimon, let's go."

"Right Cody." Submarimon said, as he swung around and when straight for Zudomon at full speed. "Oxygen Torpedo!" Submarimon shouted as he launched 2 transparent projectiles at Zudomon and then veered away from him.

The torpedo's flew in and hit the Dark Spiral right on, shattering it shortly after they exploded. Unable to hold his form any longer, Zudomon began to glow, and reverted back into Gomamon, and began to float gently down to the floor of the lake. But before he could make it there, Cyberalimon, followed closely by Submarimon grabbed him, and headed for the surface.

Joe, still waiting on the beach, saw as Cyberalimon and Submarimon broke the surface of the lake, and moved in to were he was. "Here you are Joe." Cyberalimon said as he reached down to Joe and opened his hand were Gomamon laid.

Joe quickly gabbed Gomamon and held the small digimon close to him. It was then that Gomamon opened his eyes, and weakly said to Joe, "I knew that I could rely on you to save me Joe."

"Any time Gomamon," Joe said, "any time."

******

Lillymon flew fast overhead, came around and brought her hands together, "Flower Cannon!" she shouted as her hands bloomed out and a flower with a metal cylinder in the center of it. A blast of energy leapt out of it, right at Thornedrosemon.

"Thorn Missiles!" she countered as she shot out several thorns to intercept Lillymon's blast. Both attacks met in the middle resulting in an explosion that threw Lillymon into the area of a Control Spire, and knocked Thornedrosemon to the ground.

"Thunder Blast!" came a shout from behind, and the Control Spire was hit by a blast of electricity that toppled it over, right on top of Lillymon, sending both her and the spire crashing to the ground.

"Lillymon!" Mimi shouted, as she ran over to her friend, more out of habit than anything else. As she neared the toppled over spire, she saw Davis and Raidramon heading to her.

However, before either of them could reach Lillymon, the spire blasted apart, and she stood there, trying to catch her breath. "You won't stop me that easily." She said as she tried to take off again, but realized that one of her wings was hurt in the crash.

Frustrated, Lillymon brought her hands together to fire again, only for her to find several large vines of some type wrapping around her body. Mimi, Davis and Raidramon looked back, and saw Thornedrosemon holding the other end of the whip in her hands, "Raidramon, quickly strike at the Dark Spiral now, before she can get free."

"Right." Raidramon shouted as he turned back to Lillymon, and then reverted back into Veemon, sending a blue streak of energy back to Davis's D-3. "Davis, I think that Flamedramon would be a better choice for this one."

"You got it Veemon," Davis said as he pulled out his D-3 and held it up, "Digiarmor Energize!" as Davis finished saying this, an orange streak of energy leapt out of the digivice, and hit Veemon.

"Veemon armor digivolve to…Flamedramon, The Fire of Courage!"

Flamedramon looked at Lillymon, and nodded, "Sorry about this Lillymon," he said, "but it is necessary to save you." He then brought his arm back and a fireball appeared in it, "Fire Rocket!" he shouted as he through the fireball at Lillymon.

The fireball quickly hit Lillymon and as she screamed in pain, the spiral that was attached to her arm shattered, and disappeared as it fell all over the place. Lillymon then reverted back into Palmon, and both Mimi and Davis ran up to her. Mimi immediately pulled her best friend into her arms, "Oh Palmon are you ok?"

"I'm ok Mimi," Palmon said, "but I am so sorry about what I did."

"Don't worry about it Palmon," Mimi said, "it will be ok now that you are back to normal."

******

Metalgreymon and Ultradragimon had flown around in the sky for what seemed like hours. On the ground, Weregarurumon and Knightmon were doing the same thing. Tai and Matt watched the spectacle, and hoped that they were giving the other enough time to free the other digimon. The final part of the plan was for the other digidestined to lead the other 4 digimon away, and try to free them. Once that was accomplished, they would send the other digimon to help in the fight with Metalgreymon and Weregarurumon. This was because of the fact that they were the most powerful of the eight original partner digimon, and would be that hardest to defeat, especially if they were to join forces to in the fight.

Suddenly, Tai looked in the direction that Sora and Sabertoothedtigramon had lead Garudamon, and saw the tiger digimon sprinting towards them at top speed. Matt grabbed Tai's arm, and he look off in the direction that Izzy and Minitarmon had led Megakabuterimon, and also was that Minitarmon was headed their way. With a smile, Tai nodded to Matt, and they both knew that at least Biyomon and Tentomon were now free of the Dark Spirals. Tai cupped his hands over his mouth, "Now Ultradragimon!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.

Matt did the same thing, "You to Knightmon!" and as he said this, both he and Tai saw Cyberalimon running over to join the fight. At that same time, three figures in the form of Halsemon, Pegasusmon, and Nefartimon flew over top of them, and Matt could now make out the form of Digmon running just behind Cyberalimon.

Upon seeing the reinforcement arriving, Ultradragimon immediately went on the attack, "Now, it is time to free you my old friend." He said as he brought his tail around, "Tail Slash!" he shouted as the tip of his tail flung across Metalgreymon, taking him off guard.

Pegasusmon and Nefertimon crossed in each other, "Golden Noose!" They both shouted in unison, and wrapped Metalgreymon up with the energy rope.

"That won't hold him for long." TK shouted.

"Attack now." Kari finished.

Halsemon and Ultradragimon lined up, and let out their attacks at the same time. Both of the hit Metalgreymon, and he reverted back into Agumon, but the unlike with the other digimon, the spiral did not shatter.

Down on the ground, Thornedrosemon and Flamedramon had joined the fight with Weregarurumon, and they were now unleashing their attacks on him, forcing him to revert back to Gabumon, but like with Agumon, the spiral did not shatter.

Ken in the meantime was turning a pail white. "I don't believe it, how could you defeat me again."

"Because it is our destiny to defeat all evil in the Digital World Ken." Tai said.

"Now release Agumon and Gabumon." Matt added as the rest of the digidestined walked up behind him and Tai.

Ken looked at all of the digidestined, noting their determined looks, and then looked behind them and saw that several of the Control Spires were still standing, and a plan began to fill his head. He glared at the 11 digidestined, and an evil smile spread across his face. "What are you smiling about, you just lost." Cody said.

"Actually," Ken began, as Wormmon moved up behind him, "I have only just begun to fight you." Ken then pulled out his dark digivice, and held it up high. The digivice began to glow brightly, as did all of the remaining Control Spires, and Agumon and Gabumon.

"Oh no!" Izzy said as he realized what Ken was doing.

"What is it Izzy?" Yolie asked.

"He's going to digivolve them again." Izzy explained.

Davis looked confused, "I guess that we will just have to defeat them again then, right?"

Izzy shook his head, "I am afraid that it is not that simple Davis," Izzy then pointed to the Control Spires, "not only is he feeding them power from his digivice, but also from the remaining Control Spires." Izzy looked around, and saw that the other didn't understand were he was going with this. "The last time that Agumon and Gabumon were given that much power, they didn't just digivolve, they warp digivolved."

Tai was about to open his mouth to say something, but before he could, a blinding flash of light spread over the entire area, and the only voice that could be heard was Ken, "Now Dark Digivolve!" he shouted as his digivice shot out the began to receive the dark energy form the spires and send it to Agumon and Gabumon.

"Agumon dark-warp digivolve to…Blackwargreymon!"

"Gabumon dark-warp digivolve to…Darkmetalgarurumon!"

Before the digidestined stood the 2 most fearful digimon they had ever seen, familiar, yet different. Unlike with Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon, Blackwargreymon and Darkmetalgarurumon were completely black, and looked twice as mean as they ever did before. "I think that we are in trouble." Kari said as she looked on the 2 new digimon.

(Narrator) "Now that they have freed the other digimon, the greatest battle of ever lies in front of the digidestined as they must face 2 of the most powerful digimon ever created. You don't want to miss the exciting conclusion of the New Digimon Return."

To Be Concluded in Chapter 8: The Fate of One
