Digimon: Digital Monsters: Battle to Save the Dimensional Plane

The Prophecy

"So now what do we do?" asked Rika as the Tamers and Digidestined sat in a circle on the beach of the former Dark Ocean. They had met a few of the Scubamon that had come to pay their respects to Kari, and had learned from them that the Dark Ocean had indeed been renamed, as Yolie had joked, the Light Ocean. But while the Scubamon were filled with joy, the Tamers and their digimon were filled with worry, as Daemon had departed from the Dark Ocean to head for the Tamer's world, taking Kimeramon with him. Now the Tamers and Digidestined were pondering how to get to the Tamer's world. While the Tamers had been able to get to the Digidestined's world, they had used a portal created by Daemon to get there. Now that gate was closed as well.

"I don't know Rika. Daemon seems to keep just one step ahead of us," said Takato. Izzy was busy working with his laptop, still trying to analyze the Tamers' digivices and get a feel for how they worked.

"Well, we have to get back home. Daemon and Kimeramon will be wreaking havoc in our world," said Henry. Terriermon jumped up on top of Henry's head and looked down at him.

"Momonti! It's not like the city's without any kind of defense. Ryo and Monodramon are still there," said Terriermon.

"Not to mention Kazu and Guardromon," said Takato.

"And Kenta and MarineAngemon," said Guilmon.

"I guess so, but still, I wish we were there to help," said Henry.

"Prodigious!" cried Izzy, catching everyone's attention as they looked over at him. "I think I may have found the answer to our problem!"

"What do you mean?" asked Matt. Izzy help up his computer.

"As we know, a Digi Port can only be opened with the power of a D-3. But I believe I might be able modify the D-3 using the programmed data in the Tamer's digivices so that they will open a Digi Port between our world and theirs," said Izzy.

"Yes, that might be possible," said Ken as he looked at Izzy's data. "Hey Takato, can we borrow your digivice?"

"Sure," said Takato, handing Ken his digivice. Ken handed it to Izzy, who placed it in his digivice up-link on his laptop's keyboard. He then started to type in commands to his laptop, telling it to download the information it would need to transfer to the D-3's in order to make them work the way they needed them to.

**********

"Hey Ryo. What's this?" asked Monodramon as the small purple dragon digimon picked up Ryo's baseball bat.

"Be careful with that Monodramon. That's not a toy," said Ryo, taking the bat from Monodramon before he could smash something with it. Monodramon crossed his arms and gave Ryo a smug look.

"Nothing of yours is a toy," pouted the small dragon.

"Some are, but you have a tendency of breaking everything you touch," said Ryo.

"I do not!" shouted Monodramon. Suddenly, Monodramon stopped yelling at Ryo and turned towards the window. He then gave a loud growl as he bared his teeth.

"What is it?" asked Ryo. Monodramon leaped onto the open windowsill and looked out towards the park, his eyes narrowed sharply.

"Digimon," said Monodramon. "Two really powerful ones."

"Do you think one is the one who was attacking us earlier?" asked Ryo. Monodramon shook his head.

"I can't tell. All I know is that they are powerful. Maybe more powerful than even I am," said Monodramon.

"Well, we'd better check it out," said Ryo, grabbing his digivice and running out the door, Monodramon flying right behind him.

**********

"Ah. It's good to be back in the Tamer's world. No overwhelming numbers of Digidestined to bother with," said Daemon as he stood next to Kimeramon, who was busy sniffing the air, taking in the sight. "Now to begin the final phase of my plan."

**********

"How much longer is this going to take?" asked Davis, who was pacing back and forth impatiently. It had been almost an hour since Izzy had begun the task of modifying TK's D-3, and Davis was getting restless. While only one D-3 needed to be reconfigured, the task was a lot harder than what Izzy had originally predicted.

"Not much longer now Davis," said Izzy as he continued to upload the new data into the D-3s. As this was going on, the other Digidestined were busy catching up with Mimi and Palmon, while Tai and Takato were talking with each other off to the side.

"So Guilmon isn't a real digimon?" asked Tai.

"I'm not really sure. I mean, yeah he's real, but I created him," said Takato, looking over at Guilmon, who was busy talking with Agumon and Veemon. "I based him after Agumon, who was one of my favorite digimon."

"Agumon is a pretty tough digimon," said Tai, looking over at the three Rookies.

"I wanted Guilmon to be a reptile type digimon, but I didn't know he was a Virus type until quite a while after I met him. But in my world, all digimon were pretty nice when you got to know them. I mean, Impmon's a perfect example," said Takato.

"Wormmon's the same way with us. He may be a Virus type, but he's one of the nicest digimon I know," said Tai.

**********

Meanwhile, back in the Tamer's world, Ryo and Monodramon were hot on the trail of the new digimon, Monodramon's dragon-like sense of smell leading them from the busy city streets to the park.

"Are you sure they're this way?" asked Ryo as he followed the small purple dragon through the foliage of the park.

"Positive," said Monodramon as he leaped through another bush, then stopped. Ryo joined his partner and froze when he saw why Monodramon had stopped. Sitting in the middle of the park path was Kimeramon and Daemon.

"So much pure energy, I just don't know where to begin," said Daemon, looking around at the city.

"Is that them?" asked Ryo. Monodramon shook his head yes, not wanting to speak for fear of catching their attention.

"Well, let's get going," said Daemon as he flew off towards the west side of the city, Kimeramon following him from behind. When they were out of sight, Monodramon leaped from the bushes and stared off in the direction they had left.

"Ryo. I'm going to take them," said Monodramon, gritting his teeth.

"You sure?" asked Ryo. "Well, okay. But I'll go and get those two other boys just in case." Monodramon nodded as he became enveloped in purple light.

"Monodramon, digivolve to…!"cried Monodramon as a cocoon of purple light enclosed around him. The light then died down, leaving a black dragon digimon with four red wings in Monodramon's place. "Cyberdramon!"

"Be careful Cyberdramon," said Ryo as he ran off towards the other side of the park where Kazu and Kenta usually hung out and played the digimon card game. Cyberdramon just gave a low growl and a nod before he took to the air after Kimeramon and Daemon.

**********

"There. The D-3 is ready to go," said Izzy as he handed TK back his D-3.

"Ready everyone? Digi Port open!" cried TK as the Digi Port appeared on Izzy's laptop screen, everyone being pulled into the Digi Port. The next thing they knew, they were standing in the middle of what looked like a large desert with a small forest growing in the middle of it.

"Where are we?" asked Davis as he lowered his goggles over his eyes to block the blowing sand.

"This is our Digital World," said Renamon. "Not exactly the best of places compared to yours."

"So now what?" asked Agumon.

"We have to get back to our Real World before Daemon can do any major damage," said Henry. "The only problem is that we don't have Grani to help us this time."

"Who's Grani?" asked Yolie.

"Grani was a machine that my dad and his friends made to bring us home from the Digital World the first time we came here. It was originally called the ARK, but after they modified it for combat, they renamed it Grani," said Henry. Suddenly, a loud clap of thunder sounded off in the distance. Everyone turned towards the sound to see a giant blue cloud come flying towards them.

"Hey! It's Azulongmon!" cried Guilmon.

"It seems you have returned with some new friends," said Azulongmon as his body appeared out of the cloud.

"Yes. We found out that Daemon is behind all this. He's the digimon that has been causing all the problems," said Takato. Azulongmon nodded, then looked down at BlackGatomon.

"And what of the black feline?" asked Azulongmon.

"It's okay. She's with us now," said Rika.

"You can not possible believe that she has changed, can you?" cried a second voice from behind them. Everyone turned around to see Zhuqiaomon floating behind them, his fiery body glowing bright red.

"Hey pal!" cried Impmon, pointing up at the giant firebird Sovereign. "I trust this digimon. She has helped us more than once in this fight. If you want a piece of her, you'll have to go through me!"

"Such a big mouth for such a puny creature. Be warned Impmon, that I can take away your ability to digivolve into Beelzemon just as easily as I gave it to you," said Zhuqiaomon.

"Stand down Zhuqiaomon. If the Tamers believe she is okay, then I believe she is an ally, not an enemy," said Azulongmon.

"I still do not trust her, but I will not push the matter further," said Zhuqiaomon.

"Ey. You never was the one to let your guard down around anyone, were ya Zhuqiaomon?" said a third voice. All the kids watched as what they thought was a forest suddenly rise up on four legs and turn around, revealing the form of Ebonwumon.

"It is wise to always be cautious with an enemy tuned ally," said Zhuqiaomon.

"But there are times when caution must be thrown into the wind for what has to be done," said a fourth voice as a giant wolf digimon with twelve golden balls circling his body bounded up to the group.

"Caution is something that you know nothing of, Baihumon. Was it not you who tried to take on our Ultimate Enemy and was almost deleted?" said Zhuqiaomon, looking down at the Holy Animal Sovereign.

"The past is past. We must concentrate on our future if we are to survive," said Baihumon.

"Now don't you two go getting all relied up over something that ya both know has nothing to do with here and now," said Ebonwumon.

"Indeed, you must calm yourselves," said Azulongmon. He then turned his attention to the children and their digimon. "I can sense that you are wanting to return to your world and stop this Daemon before he can carry out his plans. But I'm afraid that it would be far wiser to stay here for the time being."

"What do you mean?" asked Takato.

"There is an ancient prophecy that we Sovereigns found after you had left for your friends' dimension," said Azulongmon.

"I came across it while helping to clear out an area of the Digital World that the D-Reaper had left in ruins when I came across a tablet that told of a prophecy," said Zhuqiaomon. "It went like this."

Children's hopes and dreams will be taken by the Outsider and his followers.

A group of Six shall rise up and defend the pure hearts of those they live with.

The Outsider and his followers shall depart for places unknown to try again.

A group of Three will follow the Outsider, and join with the Defenders of the New World.

Confusion will abound, as friends become enemies.

Then the Creature of Darkness shall be reborn to plague the world.

An Agent of Evil shall turn pure, and enemies will become friends once again.

A promise will be kept; a world shall be restored.

Three of the group of Six shall fight to defend their world from the Outsider, but fail.

The Outsider will return to the world of data

And be betrayed by the darkness created.

Thus the Power of the Millennium shall be unleashed.

Worlds will unite, as millions become one

And create a miracle.

"That is all the tablet said," said Zhuqiaomon.

"It is a most perplexing puzzle," said Baihumon. "Even we Sovereigns don't understand what it means, but we know in our hearts that it must have something to do with you Tamers." Off to the side, Izzy had typed everything that Zhuqiaomon had said, and suddenly snapped his head up as the prophecy became clear.

"I know what the prophecy's talking about!" cried Izzy. Everyone turned to the young teenager.

"You do?" asked Tai.

"I'm fairly certain that these last few days are being described on that tablet," said Izzy as he turned his laptop so everyone could see. "The prophecy says that 'children's hopes and dreams shall be taken by the Outsider and his followers'. That part came true when Daemon appeared in this dimension. He is not a digimon from this plane of existence. He also tried to steal the pure energy of children that live here."

"That sounds like it might fit," said TK.

"The next line reads 'A group of six shall rise up and defend those they live with'," said Izzy.

"That would fit too. Whenever we attacked the Real World, there were always six kids and digimon that stood against us," said BlackGatomon.

"Then this line that says 'The Outsider and his followers shall depart for places unknown to try again'. That part fits too because Daemon left this Digital World and came to ours, which was a world unknown to you until you actually saw it," said Izzy.

"Then the line about three of the six following the outsider and joining the defenders must be when we followed them to this world and joined up with you guys," said Takato.

"The next line must be when I joined their side to find out just what was going on," said Impmon.

"It sure does look that way. You really had us fooled," said Guilmon.

"The Creature of Darkness must be Kimeramon," said Ken. "I originally created him from pure evil, and he's no different this time either."

"I'm the Agent of Evil that became pure, and then we joined your group," said BlackGatomon.

"And then I kept my promise to the Scubamon to help them battle Dragomon, and save their world from the powers of darkness," said Kari, identifying herself as the line that read that a promise will be kept.

"But that's all I can figure out," said Izzy. "From this point on, the prophecy doesn't make much sense."

"Don't worry," said Tai, looking up at the ball of blue light floating above their heads that was the Real World. "If I know how the prophecies seem to work, we'll find out soon enough."

**********

"Heat Viper!" cried Kimeramon as he blasted another building into rubble. For over twenty minutes now, Kimeramon had been on the rampage, destroying everything in his path while Daemon watched from a distance. Already, Kimeramon had absorbed the pure energy of several children and was growing stronger by the minute.

"Yes," said Daemon to himself as he watched Kimeramon absorb another child's pure energy, leaving the empty shell of the child behind. "Soon, Kimeramon will possess all the pure energy I'll need to open the dimension that holds the ultimate power. "Desolation Claw!" cried a voice. Daemon turned to the sky only to have a blast of silver light slam into his face, blinding him and making him cry out in surprise.

"Who dares attack me!?" cried Daemon as his eyesight returned, revealing the form of Cyberdramon right in front of him. "What!?"

"Surprise!" cried Cyberdramon, slamming a fist into Daemon's face, knocking him back over thirty feet. Daemon regained himself, anger evident on his face.

"You!" cried Daemon as he held his hands out in front of him, fire crackling in front of him. "Evil Inferno!" he cried, launching a blast of fire from his palms. Cyberdramon barely dodged the blast, then charged Daemon, claws sparking with energy.

"Desolation Claw!" cried Cyberdramon, firing another blast of energy at Daemon.

"Annoying digimon!" cried Daemon as he blocked the blast. "Evil Inferno!" he cried, another blast of fire sailing from his hands. Cyberdramon tried to dodge the attack again, but he wasn't quite fast enough. Cyberdramon cried out in pain as the fire engulfed his body, knocking him to the roof of a nearby building.

"Is that all you've got?" asked Cyberdramon wearily as he stood back up. He was hurt, and Daemon could tell it.

"You foolish digimon. You can not stop me from completing my plans now!" yelled Daemon as he raised his hands, a giant ball of fire forming in his hands.

"Guardian Barrage!" cried a voice. Daemon turned to the sound of the voice, only to have two missiles explode in his face, knocking him back and making him cry out in pain.

"Cyberdramon! Are you all right?" asked Ryo as ran up to his digimon friend.

"He's strong…real strong…," said Cyberdramon, his weakened body no longer able to hold his Ultimate form as he changed back into Monodramon.

"Hey Ryo! Is Monodramon okay?" called a voice. Ryo looked back up to the voice.

"He'll be all right, Kazu," said Ryo. "Get him!"

"You heard him Guardromon, let him have it!" cried Kazu from his position on a nearby roof top.

"But of course. Guardian Barrage!" cried Guardromon, firing two more missiles from his arms. But this time, Daemon was ready for them as he blocked the missiles.

"You are foolish to challenge me," said Daemon as he raised his hands back.

"Kahuna Waves!" cried another voice as several heart-shaped bubbles slammed into Daemon's side. A small fairy digimon floated up next to Guardromon.

"Way to let him have it, MarineAngemon!" cried Kenta from a second nearby roof top. Daemon growled under his breath. He didn't know that they had a Mega digimon here to help protect the city. But it wouldn't matter, no.

"That was the last straw!" cried Daemon as a giant ball of fire formed in his hands. "Evil Inferno!" he cried, tossing the fireball at the two digimon.

"Oh dear," said Guardromon as the blast nailed both him and MarineAngemon, knocking both of them onto the same roof Monodramon and Ryo were on. The digimon tried to get up, but their strength had left them.

"You are beaten," said Daemon flatly as he looked down at the fallen digimon. With that, he turned back towards Kimeramon, who had nearly all the pure energy he needed.

"You haven't won yet!" cried Ryo, raising his digivice into the air. "Biomerge activate!" he cried, his digivice exploding in a blast of light, his body turning into digital data.

"Monodramon, Biomerge to…!" cried Monodramon as the digital information of Ryo combined with him, his body changing into a giant humanoid shape with a metal plate over his face and a metal left arm. "Justimon!"

"Huh?" said Daemon, turning around just in time to see the form of Justimon come flying feet first at him.

"Justice Kick!" cried Justimon, landing a powerful kick to Daemon's face, knocking the Mega digimon several blocks down the street to where Kimeramon was busy destroying everything in his path with his Heat Viper attack. Kimeramon looked up from his destruction with a questioning growl. Daemon rose to his feet, fire burning from his hands like torches.

"Those children and their digimon will pay for this outrage!" he shouted. It was then he sensed an immense power radiating in the near vicinity. He looked up at Kimeramon, whose eyes seemed to be pulsing with energy.

"Yes…Yes!" cried Daemon as he realized what he had sensed. "At last I have the energy I need to open the dimensional gate!" By now, Justimon had arrived on the scene.

"No!" he cried as he jumped at Kimeramon. "Justice Kick!"

"Heat Viper!" cried Kimeramon, breathing a blast of green fire at Justimon, knocking him to the ground.

"You fool! Kimeramon is stronger than ever now! No one can stop him, and soon, no one will be able to stop me!" cried Daemon. He raised his hands as a cloud of fog swirled up from the ground, engulfing him and Kimeramon.

"No! Stop!" cried Justimon as the fog disappeared, taking Kimeramon and Daemon back to the Digital World.

**********

"He's back," said Azulongmon in a low voice.

"You mean Daemon?" asked Takato.

"Yes. We Sovereigns can sense his arrival. And he has a huge source of pure energy with him," said Zhuqiaomon in an alarmed voice.

"Three will fight to defend their world but fail, and the Outsider shall return to the world of data," said Izzy as he read the next two lines of the prophecy. "Then that means that Daemon has the energy he needs to open the dimensional gate!"

"Oh no! We'll never get to him in time!" cried Davis.

"Yes you will, for I shall take you there myself!" said Azulongmon as a ball shaped cloud covered the group of kids and digimon, picking them up. "Hang on!" With that, Azulongmon launched the cloud at top speed towards where the rift had reappeared.

**********

"Finally! The ultimate power of destruction shall be mine!" cried Daemon as he walked over to a stone formation that resembled the Digital World's version of the Stone Circle.

"I think not, Daemon," said a voice out of thin air. Daemon looked around for the source of the voice, but saw no one.

"Who are you? Come out and face me," said Daemon. An evil laugh filled the air.

"As you wish," said the voice. Suddenly, Daemon was hit from behind with enough force to topple a mountain as he sailed into a patch of boulders a quarter mile away. After a few seconds, Daemon burst from the boulder patch, his whole body ablaze.

"You dare attack me!?" cried Daemon, pointing at his attacker.

"I do, because I can," said Kimeramon, using the same voice that had been in the air just seconds ago.

"You will pay for your treachery!" cried Daemon, a ball of fire forming in his hands. "Evil Inferno!" he cried, tossing the ball of flame at Kimeramon. The fireball slammed into Kimeramon's chest, knocking him back a few feet as he was engulfed in smoke. But as the smoke cleared, Kimeramon was still standing, chortling to himself.

"Foolish digimon," said Kimeramon as he took to the air. "You're powers can not compete with mine. You played right into my hands."

"What are you talking about?" asked Daemon. Kimeramon laughed lightly.

"This body, or Kimeramon as you call him, is a form that is made up of pure evil energy. My soul, which feeds on the dark energy of all the dimensions' creatures, found this body quite filling. Not to mention that it does bear a resemblance to real self. But this body has served its purpose." With that Kimeramon turned towards the rock formation. "And now to free my true body, so that we may become one again!"

"I don't think so!" cried Daemon, raising his hands up high, flames flicking off them like torches. "Evil Inferno!" he cried, a wave of fire rising out of the ground around Kimeramon, engulfing the giant digimon. "That shall teach you not to mess with the future rule of this world." Suddenly, the fire exploded outward, leaving an unharmed, chortling Kimeramon floating in the air.

"You fool. Haven't you realized by now that you can't possibly stop me?" asked Kimeramon.

"Who are you!" cried Daemon. Kimeramon chuckled to himself.

"Just the most powerful digimon to ever exist. Ever since those Sovereigns locked my mortal body away in that dimensional prison, I have vowed to have my vengeance on them," said Kimeramon. "But I think that you'll make for some good target practice. Heat Viper!" cried Kimeramon, breathing a blast of green fire from his mouth. Daemon was knocked down to the ground, the attack hurting a lot more than he would have ever expected it to. He tried to stand up, but another Heat Viper attack slammed into him, flinging him back a couple of meters to the ground again. His form started to waver as his body tried not to delete.

"You won't get away with this," said Daemon, looking up at Kimeramon.

"Oh, but I beg to differ," said Kimeramon as he opened his mouth. "Heat Viper!" he cried, breathing one final blast of green fire at Daemon, who cried out as the fire engulfed his body, his form vaporizing into digital data. "Hardly a worthy fight, but I guess it was better than nothing. Now to open the dimensional gate and reclaim my freedom!" Kimeramon raised his four arms and began to chant in a strange language as the rock formation started to glow. Then the pure energy stored in Kimeramon's body transferred into the rock formation.

"Not so fast!" cried a voice. Kimeramon turned to the sound of the voice only to receive an uppercut from MegaGargomon. Kimeramon regained his balance and swung both of his left arms, knocking the digimon back several meters and to the ground.

"Fool. I have no time for the likes of you," said Kimeramon, turning towards the rock formation.

"Lightning Joust!" cried another voice as a bolt of lightning slammed into Kimeramon's back, leaving a smoking patch of skin. Kimeramon turned around to see Gallantmon standing behind him. And he wasn't alone. Standing behind Gallantmon was Sakuyamon, WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon, Silphymon, Shakkoumon, Paildramon, Zudomon, Garudamon, MegaKabuterimon, and Lillymon.

"Bah! You are too late to stop me from opening the dimensional gate!" cried Kimeramon. As he said this, a beam of white light shot from the middle of the rock formation, a giant hole opening in the sky. Suddenly, a blast of lightning struck Kimeramon's body, dissolving him into data. But instead of the particles drifting away from each other, they instead swirled up into the rift in the sky. A thunderclap sounded as black bolts of lightning shot out of the rift, converging into one giant bolt that slammed into the ground. Everyone shielded their eyes as the blast kicked up a cloud of dust. As the dust started to clear, everyone's, digimon included, jaw dropped as they saw the digimon in front of them.

"Oh boy…" said Gallantmon, taking a step back. Before them stood a giant digimon that resembled the body of Kimeramon, but was jet-black with all his arms those of Devimon. His wings had been replaced with a giant pair of glowing wings made out of electric plasma. And sitting on top of his wings were two giant cannons.

"Behold! My true form!" cried the giant digimon. "I…am…Millenniummon!"
