DIGITAL KINGDOM

THE NEXT TASK

By Ninetalesuk.


DIGITAL WORLD.

While Takato and his group were led by Lightmon to Baihumon's place, Rika and her group were
continuing their journey to stop WarDevidramon and his new ally, Neo Saiba.

Renamon look down at her Tamer, Rika. "Excuse me, Rika. I think we are nearing one of the Digimon
Soverign's home."

"Good!" Kazu sighed. "I need a rest, since *GUARDROMON* cried at BlackMetalGreymon's memorial
service. Ain't that right, big guy?"

"I cried before, Kazu. Why are you upset?" Guardromon asked.

"Gee. I dunno." Tea said, sarcastically. "Maybe because you were crying ON Kazu, Guardromon."

Bakura nodded. "Thats right. It is amazing how you were able to survive Guardromon's weight."

"5 buns if Kazu says he is tough!" Calumon shouted.

Kazu decided to keep quiet but Guardromon was trying NOT to laugh.

Yugi looked at Renamon. "Who is the Sovereign that lives nearby?"

"Zhuqiaomon." Renamon said.

Kazu and Guardromon turned around and went in the other direction.

"Look at the time." Kazu said.

"I think its time to go home." Guardromon said.

Seto shook his head. "Are a man or a mouse?"

"Neither. I'm a Digimon." Guardromon said.

Leomon sighed. "Listen, I understand that when you last met Zhuqiaomon, it wasn't a pretty site."

Rika nodded. "We were just glad MegaGargomon showed up."

Jeri looked at Yugi, Seto, Bakura and Tea. "If we explain to Zhuqiaomon, we better leave out the
part about Neo."

Seto's Blue Eyes White Dragon shook his head. "That won't work. Zhuqiaomon will sooner or later
find out about Neo."

The Dark Magician nodded. "We'll have to tell him the whole truth."

Rika sighed and looked at Renamon. "Prepare yourself to become Sakuyamon."

"I will, Rika." Renamon said.

Leomon looked up to see someone coming towards them. "Ryo is back!"

Ryo hopped off his Digimon's shoulder, Cyberdramon, and looked at Rika. "Spotted Zhuqiaomon's
place at the West. It'll take us 10 minutes to get there."

Rika just looked at Ryo before walking off. "Come on. We have to tell Zhuqiaomon, maybe he'll
help us."

"If not... Me and Ryo will being as Justimon!" Cyberdramon growled.

Yugi whispered to Tea. "Imagine Joey's reaction to Cyberdramon."

Tea sweatdropped. "I think I've already did."


Henry looked at his D-Power while he, Takato and their group followed Lightmon to Baihumon's
place. "Lightmon. Champion level. Vaccine type. Holy Dragon Digimon. The Digivolved form of
Divinemon. He traps his enemies with his Light Catcher before destroying them with his Arrows
of Light."

Mai scoffed. "Not bad."

Takato smiled. "If you Digivolved from Divinemon, then does that mean....?"

"Yes, kid." Lightmon said, without looking at Takato. "I was the one who saved Mokuba and Susie
from Baronmon."

Henry gasped and then, smiled. "Thank you for saving them!"

Lightmon smiled. "Don't mention it. We are nearer to Baihumon's lair."

In a blink of an eye, Joey ran up to Lightmon. "One question, blue boy. Does Baihumon have two
heads and have a Scottish and Irish accents?"

"No." Lightmon said, confused. "Why do you say that?"

Joey shrugged. "No reason, thats all."

Lightmon eyed Joey before walking away from him. "Ooookay...."

The others behind Lightmon and Joey stifled a laugh before they arrived at their destination.


WarDevidramon walked out of Neo's room at the Digi Fortress before bumping into his lackeys,
DemiDevimon and Datamon.

"What do you two clowns want?" WarDevidramon growled.

DemiDevimon gulped. "We are here to report that there is one way of stopping you from entering
the Real World."

WarDevidramon sneered. "And, what is that?"

Datamon gulped. "We don't know what they are called but, we DO know that they are in 5 different
pieces and are hidden in 5 different areas of the Digital World where they are guarded."

WarDevidramon took a swing at Datamon but, missed. "Then, move it!!! Get some Digimon to collect
these 5 pieces and then, DESTROY THEM!!!"

"The Digimon or the pieces?" DemiDevimon asked.

"THE PIECES!!!!!!!!!!!!!" WarDevidramon roared.

DemiDevimon and Datamon ran through the corridor really, REALLY fast.

"We're on our way!" Datamon yelled.

DemiDevimon yelled as well. "No need to yell!!!"

WarDevidramon groaned and walked towards his room. "Those two will be the death of me...."


After Takato, Guilmon, Henry, Terriermon, Kenta, MarineAngemon, Ai, Mako, Impmon, Joey, Red Eyes
Black Dragon, Mai, the Harpie Ladie Sisters, Tristan and Lightmon arrived at Baihumon's lair,
they were welcomed by Susie, Lopmon and Mokuba. Susie was REALLY happy to see Terriermon, if you
don't believe me... Take a look at Terriermon's squeeze marks.

Takato looked up at Baihumon. "Mr Baihumon, thank you for looking after Susie and Mokuba."

Baihumon smiled. "My pleasure, little one. Now, I must ask you to stay here as the other
Sovereigns are coming here. We need to talk of how we can stop WarDevidramon."

Henry nodded. "Of course."

Baihumon nodded. "Thank you. Why don't you rest while I see if they have arrived yet?"

"Good." Joey moaned. "I need PLENTY of rest after getting a rude awakening!"

"Why, what happened?" Mokuba asked.

"Lets just say it involves Joey, a river and sleep." Terriermon said.

"Nice to see you haven't change your ways, Terriermon." Lopmon said.

"Hey! We were only away for two days!" Terriermon said.

"Momentai, you two." Henry groaned.

Then, there was a knock on the door. Lightmon walked over and opened it.

"Hello?" Lightmon asked.

To Takato's surprise, it was Rika and her group! Renamon, Jeri, Leomon, Kazu, Guardromon, Ryo,
Cyberdramon, Yugi, Dark Magician, Seto, Blue Eyes White Dragon, Tea, Bakura and Calumon followed
Rika into the room.

"How ya doing, goggle head?" Rika smirked.

"How did you guys get here?!" Takato said, almost yelling.

"Zhuqiaomon brought us here." Was all Rika could say.

Mokuba ran up to Seto, leaping into his arms. "Seto!!!"

"Mokuba!" Seto said, hugging his little brother. "Are you all right?"

"We are fine." Mokuba said.

Kazu walked up to Takato, Guilmon, Kenta and MarineAngemon. "Dudes, we got problems!"

"Why? What happened?" Takato asked.

Jeri came beside Kazu. "WarDevidramon has a new ally, a human."

Kenta gasped. "A.. A human?!"

"Dude's name is Neo Saiba." Kazu said. "This guy was beaten by Rika in a card competition and
boy, was he angry."

Calumon hopped onto Jeri's head. "Neo was a meany. He killed his own Digimon."

Ryo also joined in. "BlackMetalGreymon.... I feel sorry for him. He Digivolved from Greymon just
for Neo and yet, that monster Neo destroyed him!"

Henry and Rika came up. "Really?" Henry gasped. "I can't believe this is happening!"

Rika frowned. "Thats not all. He has two D-Powers."

"Two D-Powers?!!?" Takato yelled. "That means this Neo has two Digimon!!!"

"Yeah." Kazu nodded. "For DNA Digivolve!"

"WHAT?!?!" Kenta yelled. "DNA Digivolve?!?! From the second season?!"

Ryo sighed. "Neo has a Devimon and a Ogremon. Once they DNA Digivolve, they become SkullSatamon.
Took Taomon to defeat him."

"I... I don't believe this...." Takato mumbled. "We are fighting a Tamer...."

"You guys, we have to do something!" Henry said.

Yugi, Tea, Bakura and Mai joined up with the small group. "Are yous guys all right?" Yugi asked.

"We are okay." Kenta said. "We are just surprised about this Neo guy."

"What Neo guy?" Mai asked.

"Tell you later." Tea said. "So, now what?"

"We are waiting for the other Sovereigns to come." Guilmon said.

"Yep." MarineAngemon said.

Unimon popped his head through the door. "Lightmon, Baihumon wants to see you."

Kenta brought out his D-Power and scanned Unimon. "Wow. Unimon. Champion level. Vaccine type.
A Mythical Animal Digimon with attacks like Horn Blaster, Aerial Attack and Aerial Gallop"

Lightmon followed Unimon out of the door before turning back to the group. "You guys make
yourself comfy. We'll be right back."

"Okay, thanks!" Guilmon said as he waved goodbye to Lightmon.

Joey and Tristan noticed Cyberdramon. "Hey, who is that guy?" Joey asked.

Ryo, Yugi, Tea and Bakura sweatdrop. "Thats.... Cyberdramon." Yugi said.

Tristan looked up and down at Cyberdramon. "Really? Who does he belong to?"

"Yeah. And wheres that annoying purple dragon?" Joey said. "Whats-his-name? Monodramon?"

"Oh... he is here..." Tea said, darting her eyes all over the place.

Tristan and Joey looked at each other before Cyberdramon tapped them on their shoulders.

"Can I help you?" Joey asked.

Cyberdramon brought up a card. "What is this?"

"Hey!" Joey yelled. "That is my Time Wizard card! Give it back!"

Tristan blinked. "That looked familiar."

Joey blinked as well after he took his card back. "Yeah, it was...."

Joey and Tristan's eyes went big and slowly turned to Ryo.

Tristan slowly pointed at Cyberdramon while looking at Ryo. "By any chance..."

Ryo nodded slowly. "Yes..."

Joey and Tristan turned back to Cyberdramon.

"Is that you... Monodramon...?" Joey slowly asked.

"Yes. I'm Cyberdramon, Monodramon's Ultimate form." Cyberdramon said.

Joey and Tristan were silent before they grabbed each other and said something very calm like,
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ryo sweatdrop. "Cyberdramon, quickly become your Rookie form."

Seto chuckled. "And quick."


A couple of hours later, everyone was occupied in Baihumon's lair. Takato and Henry were playing
the Digimon card game with Rika and Ryo watching them. Mai was looking out of the window with
Tea. Susie, Ai, Mako and Mokuba were playing with Terriermon, Lopmon, MarineAngemon, Monodramon,
Guilmon and Calumon. The Dark Magician, Blue Eyes White Dragon, Red Eyes Black Dragon and the
Harpie Ladie Sisters were resting in the corner. Jeri was resting with Leomon, Impmon and Renamon
in another corner. Yugi and Bakura were playing Duel Monsters with Seto watching. As for Kazu,
Kenta, Guardromon, Joey and Tristan... They were have a conversation.

"You see, guys." Kazu said. "Tai and Sora were the perfect couple. Even though they didn't show
it, they were in love with each other throughout the first season."

"So, what happened?" Joey asked.

"Well, Sora got married to Matt at the end of the second season." Kenta said. "It was a bit sad,
really. And, Sora knew how to sew."

"Really?" Tristan said. "Thats too bad."

"So, how much did she got in the end?" Guardromon asked.

Kazu, Kenta, Joey and Tristan blinked and were confused of what he said. Wondering what in the
world Guardromon said.

It took Kazu to figure it out and placed a hand on his forehead. "No, you big dolt! When I said
'sew', I didn't mean S-U-E as in courtroom thing... I meant, S-E-W where you make clothes!"

"Oh..." Guardromon trailed off. "I'm confused."

Joey and Tristan laid back on the floor and laughed.

Kenta chuckled. "You guys a great comedian team."

Kazu sweatdrop. "Thanks. I think."

The door opened and Lightmon stepped in. "Everyone! Come with me! We have an idea of how to
stop WarDevidramon!"

"Yeah!" Takato said as he and the others followed Lightmon out of the room.


In another room.... Takato, the Tamers, their Digimon, the Dueliests and their Monsters were
standing with Lightmon in front of 4 giant Mega level Digimon. With Baihumon was Unimon while
Zhuqiaomon has a dinosaur with him, a mole with Ebonwumon and a flying dragon with Azulongmon.

"Airdramon. Champion level. Vaccine type. Mythical Animal Digimon with attacks like Spinning
Needle and God Tornado." Said Takato, as he and Guilmon scanned the flying dragon beside the
giant Azulongmon.

"Drimogemon. Champion level. Data type. Animal Digimon. His attacks are Iron Drill Spin, Crusher
Bone and Mole's Claw." Said Henry as he and Terriermon scanned the mole that was beside the
two-headed Ebonwumon.

"Monochromon. Champion level. Data type. Dinosaur Digimon. His body is tough and his attacks are
called Volcanic Strike and Slamming Attack. They are the Digivolved forms of Gotsumon." Rika said
as she and Renamon scanned the dinosaur who was standing beside the firey Zhuqiaomon.

Azulongmon chuckled. "Hello, children. Its nice to see you again."

"Nice to see you two, sir." Takato said.

"You said something that will stop WarDevidramon from entering our world." Yugi said. "How can
you do that?"

Zhuqiaomon laughed. "With the pieces of the Imperial Seal!"

Renamon was confused. "Imperial Seal?"

"Long ago, after the D-Reaper was sleeping... An evil monster called SkullDaemon tried to enter
the Real World. The mighty dragon, Imperiadramon, stood up to SkullSatamon and used his powers
to stop SkullSatamon from entering your world. Before Imperialdramon died, he created 5 crests
of himself. If we collect the 5 crests, we'll bring Imperialdramon back to life and he'll help
us stop WarDevidramon from escaping into your world." Azulongmon said.

Kazu scratched his head. "So, where ARE the 5 pieces of the Imperial Seal?"

Lightmon turned around. "The peices of the Imperial Seal are hidden in 5 different areas of the
Digital World. I'll lead you to them if you want."

Takato nodded. "I have an idea!"

"Uh oh." Terriermon said. "We are in trouble."

"Terriermon!!" Henry yelled.

"This is the group idea again. One group will go and collect the 5 pieces of the Imperial Seal
while the other shall go and find WarDevidramon's hiding place." Takato said.

"WarDevidramon's hiding place is called the Digital Fortress, hidden at the darkest Eastern side
of the Digital World." Monochromon said.

Azulongmon chuckled. "I will use my powers to send you to two different areas of the Digital
World. If one group has Lightmon, then THEY will be the ones to find the 5 pieces."

"All right!" Joey said. "Let's GO!!!!!"

"Good luck." Azulongmon said as he used his powers to teleport Lightmon, the Tamers and the
Duelests along with the Monsters and the Digimon to their locations.

After it was done... Airdramon asked. "Which group is Lightmon in?"

"Lightmon is leading Henry, Terriermon, Kazu, Guardromon, Ryo, Monodramon, Joey, Red Eyes Black
Dragon, Mokuba, Tristan, Tea, Bakura and Calumon to find the 5 pieces of the Imperial Seal."

"Which leaves Takato, Guilmon, Rika, Renamon, Susie, Lopmon, Kenta, MarineAngemon, Jeri, Leomon,
Yugi, Dark Magician, Mai, the Harpie Ladies Sisters, Seto and Blue Eyes White Dragon to go to
the Digital Fortress to face against WarDevidramon. Right?" Baihumon asked.

"Yes..." Azulongmon said, sadly. "I only hope we can bring Imperialdramon back so we can stop
WarDevidramon. Somehow, someway... he must be stopped at all costs! We are counting on you...."

TO BE CONTINUED.

Stand by for a 5 chapter special of Digital Kingdom. Will Lightmon's group find the 5 pieces of
the Imperial Seal? Also, I decided that Mokuba, Tea, Bakura and Tristan will get their very own
Digimon partners. Starting with Mokuba next chapter. Stay tune!
