Chapter 5:
What Caused Davis To Change?

Don't own digimon. So their.

Later that same day...

Once everything had clamed down from the earlier attack, everyone was now heading back to their own quarters to get some sleep. Kari and Gatomon were spending the night in Tai's and Sora's house. Both Sora and Gatomon were already asleep while Tai and Kari were preparing to go to bed. Not being able to shake off what happen with Davis earlier Kari had to ask Tai about something. "Tai, can you tell me something before I go to sleep?" "Sure Kari. What do you want to know?" "Um, I was wondering about something that involves Davis. I mean ever since he found me and saved me and Gatomon from those mutant digimon he hasn't shown me anything but anger and hatred. I thought I was his friend. But now he treats me like he doesn't want anything to do with me."

When Kari finished talking she looked up at Tai and saw that he was trying to figure out how to tell her in the right way. "I'll tell you Kari. But first, answer this one question. The day you disappeared you got a email from one of the others telling you about some kind of disturbance in the digital world and telling you to get there as fast as you can, am I correct?" "Tai, what does that have to do with Davis?" "Just tell me who sent it?" "It was Davis. So I ask again. What does that have to do with anything?"

"As I already told you earlier Kari that everyone was upset with you disappearing without a single trace. But Davis took it as hard as our family did. He believe that since he was the one that emailed you to hurry there as fast as you can and not telling you to wait for them he believed that it was his fault you disappeared. He then became distant from all of us. The only ones that he even bothered to talk to on a normal bases were me, Veemon and his family. But when Darkmon sent his mercenaries to kill are parents, he was the only one out of all us Japan DigiDestined to see his parents get killed right in front of his own eyes. After he saw them died it looked like part of Davis died with them. He no longer acted like his happy go lucky self and started to focuse only on defeating Darkmon and anyone that even associated with him."

"But why then has he been acting the way he has to me ever since he found me? I figure that since he found me he would be all happy to see me." questioned Kari.

"You may think that would happen. But a while back, when we were attacking one of Darkmon's slave camps we found a tape addressed to us. We brought it back to the base and saw Toadmon and telling us that they had something that we lost. He then showed us that something was you, or what we thought was you all tied up and unconscious. He then explained that we ever wanted to see you again I had to go get you, alone or you would die. Right before the tape ended he told us were to meet him and that we had until the end of tomorrow. After we finish seeing the tape we were deciding whether or not we should believe that it was really you we saw, or some kind of trap to get rid of me."

"I am sorry to interrupt you Tai. But what does this have to do with Davis?" "I was getting into that before you stopped me. Now, as I was saying. It was halfway through the decoction that I noticed that Davis was missing and none of us knew where he went. For a while none of us could figure out where he went until I came to the conclusion that he must of left to save you. Not wasting anytime, me, Matt and Sora quickly went to the place where Toadmon told us. And when we got there we found the place we saw that their was nothing left but a huge crater. When we got closer we saw that their wasn't any sign of Toadmon or you. But we found both Davis and Veemon, unconscious and severely hurt. Veemon was able to recover within a few days. However, it took Davis over a week to regain consciousness. Once he was awake he told us that it was indeed a trap and that it wasn't really you. It was just a Bakemon disgusted as you. Also that their were five mutant digimon there and they immediately attacked. Luckily, Veemon was able to take care of them of them while Davis decided to go after the Bakemon that was pretending to be you. With his sword he was able to quickly get of the
Bakemon, only to be jumped by Toadmon who jumped towards Davis and was prepared to kill him with a dagger. But Davis was able to see it coming at the last second and moved out of the way so not to get killed but still. Even though he was to move he still got cut in the face by the dagger." Tai stopped for the moment to give Kari the time to get everything he just said in order. *So that is how he got the scar on his face.* thought Kari.

"Um, Kari. Its getting late and if you don't nothing else to ask me, then we should probably go to bed." "Just one more question Tai. This is the last one for sure." "Okay. What is your question?" "I remember when Davis saved me he went and attack a bunch of those mutated digimon with nothing more than a sword. How is that possible? The last time I remember is that no DigiDestined could beat a digimon without help from a digimon."

"That is a good question. But I think I can asnwer it. As you know, these mutated digimon are different. They are more stronger than the average digimon. I mean megas, like Wargreymon can handle them, ultimates are a bit stronger, champion and armor digimon are pretty much the same. And seeing as that most of our troops can only get their digimon to go to the champion level we saw that it could give us some trouble. So with some help from Gennai, both Izzy and Ken were able to make a machine that would give those digimon enough power to go to ultimate. We were able to get through some of the digimon before we had to stop. During one of our meetings Joe asked the question about what would happen if a human went into the machine. Both Izzy and Ken presumed that it could give the human the strength of a ultimate digimon. They also said that it was theory and we shouldn't attempt to try it which all of us agreed to that none of us would try it. But as that was going on I could see that Davis was thinking on something and by the look on his face he thinking of something big."

"So was he thinking about going into the machine?" "That what I was thinking. So after the meeting I talk to Davis and told him that if he was thinking about going into the machine he should reconsider. He then told me that he wasn't even thinking about doing that. But as we both should know that Davis was thinking about that." "And when did he go into the machine?" "It was later that night. None of us really know in detail on what actually happen. The only ones that know that are Davis and Veemon. I am sorry Kari. But if you want to really know about it, you should go asked them."

"Their is only one problem with that suggestion Tai. How am I going to get them tell me. I mean I could possible get out of Veemon without any problems. But I prefer to get my answer from Davis. Their lies the problem. How am I going to get him to answer
me when he doesn't even talk to me unless it is to tell me to get away from him?" "Don't worry about it. We will figure that out later. Now we should go to sleep. Tomorrow is a long day, and if you want to ask Davis you better get some rest." Seeing that Tai was right Kari crawled into her bed and immediately fell asleep.

****

Next day...

Both Kari and Gatomon were awaken by the smell of food. They got out of their bed and walked towards the smell. When they found it they saw in front of them a table of food. They also saw that both Sora and Biyomon putting the last bit of food on the table. "Ah, you are finally awake. Sit down and have something to eat." Without any hesitation, Kari and Gatomon sat themselves at the table and were followed shortly by Sora and Biyomon.

"My gosh Sora. Why do you cook so much food?" questioned Kari. "Well since both you and Gatomon are here, I saw that I would have to cook some extra food. Besides, you know how much Tai eats. So I am not worried about wasting any food. I mean, sometimes it looks like Tai could out eat a greymon if he wanted to." Kari couldn't help but laugh about that. She knew from personal experiences on Tai's eating habits. After calming down she noticed that Tai was no where to be seen.

"Speaking of Tai. Where is he? I thought that he would be at the table and stuffing his face by now." "He told me that he had to deal with something and said to start without him, which surprise me."

Only a few minutes after beginning breakfast, Tai and Agumon came back. Agumom immediately went to the food and began to eat but Tai slowly walked over to the table and took a seat. He remain quite a few moments then look over to Kari. "Do you remember that you wanted to know the answers to the questions you were asking me?" Knowing what Tai was refering to Kari just nodded her head. "Well, I was able to convice that person who can give you those answers. He said he will meet with you after breakfast. So for now lets just eat."

Instead of letting the discussion go any farther, Tai, Sora, Kari and the digimon ate the rest of breakfast in silence. During breakfast Kari could only wonder how is she going to get any answers from Davis since the way he acts. She just hope that he would
gracious enough to give her those answers.

****

After breakfast...

Kari was now sitting in front of Tai and Sora's house waiting for Davis. Tai told her after breakfast that she would meet with him in front of the house. While she patiently waiting with Gatomon resting on her lap she was thinking about what she should say to
him. *What am I going to say to him? Will he even talk to me like he use to do? I know his life since this war started has been horrible but he shouldn't let it consume him.* As she continue to think to herself she didn't notice someone coming towards her.

"I was told that you wanted to ask me some questions." Kari looked to where the voice came from and saw that a few feet in front of her was Davis with Veemon right beside him. Just like the last time she saw him he was looking at her with anger and pain. She continue to look him over and saw that instead of the big coat that he wore the first time they met he was now wearing a black muscle shirt, black pants and a pair of boot. He also had his sword strapped to his back. Even though she didn't want to admit it, she had to say that Davis look good looking.

"Well, do you have any questions me or not?" questioned a somewhat angry Davis. Finally realizing that she was starring at him, Kari looked down towards Gatomon who was finally awake. "Y-Yes I d-do." she stuttered as she continued not to look directly at Davis. "Thank you for letting me ask my questions." "Lets make one thing clear. I am only doing this because Tai asked me to. Even though I think this is pointless I respect him enough to go along with this." stated Davis. "So what is first question?"

Finally seeing that she did have some questions to ask him she decided to start with a easy one. "Why don't you believe that I am really Kari? Everyone here believe it. Why can't you?" "That is simple. The reason you can't be Kari is because she is gone. She disappeared over six years ago. Even after countless times of search we never found her. Then all of a sudden you come along, saying that you went threw some portal and came here. I don't bye it for a second." "But that is not true Davis. While everyone stopped looking you continue to search for her." said Veemon. Davis glared at his partner. "I told you not to say that to anyone." "But its true. Despite that everyone told you that it was pointless that you continue to search for her. Even T.K. stopped searching for her. But now she is here. You don't have look for her anymore."

Davis just continue to glare down at his partner for a while then turned around so that his back was facing them. During that time Kari couldn't believe what Veemon had just said about Davis. *Even after all these years he still continue to look for me. What was his reason? Was he doing it because he was my friend? Or was it something more? I mean he said that he was over the crush he had over me but was that really ture?*

"Is that true?" "Yes it is ture that I continue to look for her all this time. I already lost some many people that I cared about. I thought that if I found her it would help me easy my loses." Kari new that Davis was talking about his entire family being killed right in front of his own eyes. "I heard about what happen to your family. If it means anything I like to say I am sorry for your loss." "I guess Tai told you about that. Only the Japan DigiDestined know about that. What else did Tai tell you about me?"

"He told me that you believe that it was all your fault that I disappeared since you were the one to send me the email. Also that you basically distance yourself from everyone except for him, Veemon and your family. Why is that?"

After a moment of silence Davis turned back around to face Kari again. "The reason I feel that it is my fault that yo-...I mean Kari disappeared is because it was indeed my fault. When I sent that email I should have put don't do anything until the others arrive. Instead I put 'hurry over there as fast as you can.' It was because of that she went head on with the enemy and which caused her to disappear for the past six years."

"But I am right here. What will it take for you to believe that I am Kari?" "No their isn't. Don't even try to convince my by telling me about things that happen between us. Darkmon found out everything that we did in the digital world." *If that is true then
how am I going to convince that I am really Kari? Their is nothing I can think of that will help me convince him. Unless...*

"Davis. Do you remember the last time we saw each other before I disappeared?" Davis looked at her as to try to figure out what she was up to. Not saying a word he just slightly nodded his head to signal that he remember and for her to continue. "It was after
school. T.K., Yolei and Cody left to go home while me and you went together. While we were walking I was thinking about something and got concerned about it and you tried to cheer me up. I told you that their was nothing wrong and it was nothing to be worried about. But I could tell that you didn't believe that and you knew something was bothering me."

Before continuing Kari looked over to Davis and could see by the look in his eyes that he was somewhat shocked that she knew about that. "When we finally got to my apartment building you said to me 'I just want you to remember if you need anyone to talk to I will be their for you, no matter what it is.' It was the last thing you said to me before you sent that email and I entered this weird time. I am just wondering Davis, but can I still have that talk with you like you said I could."

Kari once again look to Davis and saw that he was in complete confusion. He had his hands on his head trying to decide what to think about what she just said. "Does that help you figure out that I am who I say I am?" Davis put don't his hands looked back to her and apparently had come to a decision. "Nice little story. I am surprise you knew about that. However, it did help me come to a decision." Kari looked straight at Davis and was hoping that he believed her. "I came to the conclusion that you are-"

Before Davis could finish a alarm went off. Hearing that sound before Kari knew that it meant that the enemy was back. All the DigiDestined were moving around to get to their post. She looked over to Davis as he grabbed one of them that was passing by. "What is happen?" "Darkmon has sent one of his mutant digimon to attack this base. Somehow it was able to pass most of our censors. It is basically right at our front gate." Davis let the person go and pulled out his D3.

"What do you say we take it up a notch Veemon?" Veemon just nodded his head in agreement and quickly digivoled to X-Veemon. After he was finished he and Davis waited patiently for the oncoming enemy.

Suddenly, one of the side walls exploded and out through the dust came one of the creepiest things Kari ever seen. Most of it body was covered in black, except for two brown gloves that went up halfway up his arm, tanned boots and two blood red eyes. (AN: Sorry once again for the bad description. Don't worry though. He won't be a big part later on in the story after this chapter.)

"What in the world is that thing?" asked Kari. Before anyone could say anything the strange digimon began to speak. "I will answer that for you. You may call me Piedotismon. I am one of lord Darkmon's ulimate live creations. He combind the traits of both Piedmon and Myotismon together and which he combined with his various mutant creations to create me." "Did you come here to fight or just to introduce yourself?" replied Davis who was already in a defense stance with X-Veemon right behind him.

"I am only to talk about something with a DigiDestined named Motomiya." A few seconds later Tai, Sora and mostly the entire DigiDestineds had arrived and formed a huge circle around Davis and Piedotismon. "I am Motomiya. What do you want to talk about
with me?" Piedotismon looked over Davis up and down and smirk.

"Ah yes. You are Daisuke Motomiya. Also known as Davis. You are the holder of the digi eggs of courage and friendship and partners with Veemon. Considered one of the strongest of all the DigiDestined." "Are you just trying to flatter me or are you going to get to the point?" "My lord Darkmon has a propitiation for you. Join his side. Become his second in comman and become stronger than you ever dream possible."

Kari couldn't believe what she was witnessing. Was Piedotismon actually here to try to convice Davis to join Darkmon's said? And apparently all of the over DigiDestined couldn't believe it either. They were all up into a commutation and yelling to Davis not to
believe it. "Why all the sudden does Darkmon want me to be on his side?" "He has been keeping an eye on you ever since your battle with Toadmon. He has seen how powerful you have become and seen how tough you are in battles. Lord Darkmon even considered
as a bigger challenge than Tai Kamiya and Matt Ishida. So what do you say? Are you come and join our family?"

"So that is why Darkmon want Davis to join him." said Tai who with Sora and Matt were standing beside Kari. "Darkmon figures that if he gets Davis to come to his side he will have the defiant advantage against us." Kari looked away from Davis to Tai. "Is Davis that big of a threat to Darkmon?" "I am certain. Piedotismon wasn't kinding about Davis being one of the toughest of the DigiDestined. Even me and Matt consider him to be somewhat tougher than us. Even though Veemon can't go to mega."

Somewhat surprised by Tai's words she turned back to the confrontation between Davis and Piedotismon. *Is Davis really powerful? He has to be if Darkmon is indeed considering him as a threat. Even Tai admit that he is probably stronger than him and Matt.* Kari's thoughts were interrupted when she noticed that Davis backed away from his defensive stance and slowly walked towards Piedotismon.. Ignoring the voices of everyone around him, Davis continue walk to the enemy until he stopped right in front of the enemy.

"Yet me get this straight. Darkmon wants me to leave the people that I now call family, so I can join the side of the person who sent out the orders to kill my family. That is a tough decision. Let me think about it." After what seemed like an entirety Davis looked straight into the eyes of Piedotismon. "I have made my decision." And to everyone shock stuck out his hand as to seal the deal.

Seeing what he was meaning by his hand stuck out, Piedotismon accepted it by shaking his hand and letting a roar of laughter when he saw all of the shocked and disbelief faces of the DigiDestined. But no one was more shocked than Kari who had clear view of
Davis and Piedotismon shaking hands. *Why Davis? Why would you leave your friends and join with the enemy? Why would you leave....me?*

Her questions were answered when she noticed that Davis had a slight grin on his face. "I told you I had made a decision. But I never said it was with you." Piedotismon stopped his laughing after hearing Davis and noticing that his handshake was getting tighter. He tried to break it but Davis maintain his grip and continue to tighten his grip. Letting a cry in pain Piedotismon went down to one knee and looked up to Davis who still had the same grin on his face.

"I will tell you again. I have made my decision, and that decision is..." Before finishing Davis let go of Piedotoimon's hand and rammed his knee into his gut. Piedotismon fell to his hands and knees and started to cough up blood. Not giving him a chance Davis stood in front of him and lifted him up until they were eye to eye. When he was finally up Davis let go of him and reared back and punched him squarely in the face. Due to the force of the blow it sent Piedotismon sailing over the DigiDestined and into one of the side walls.

All the DigiDestined were stunned about what just occurred. One second it look like Davis was going to join Darkmon's side. Then the next, he took down one of Darkmon's ultimate level digimon with just two blows. "If you couldn't get that through your head I will tell you what my decision is. I say NO! I rather die as Darkmon's enemy than live as his lackey." said Davis who had his arms folded on his chest and his looking directly at Piedotismon who was now started to stumble to his feet. "Why you bastard. How dare you do this to me. I should of know that you would be stupid to see what Darkmon can give you."

"Oh no, you got it wrong. You are the one who is stupid. The reason why I am not going to join Darkmon is because I can clearly see what he wants. He wants me to become his pawn. So I can do all his dirty work for him. Unlike you, I prefer not to be a
mindless puppet for someone to use."

"Why you arrogant little fool. I will make you pay for what you said." Fueled by anger Piedotismon charged towards Davis at uncanny speed that all they could see was huge blur. Despite all the yells from Kari and the rest of the DigiDestined to get out of the way but Davis just ignored them and simply unfolded his arms and put them by his sides and to everyone's shock he had his eyes closed.

When Piedotismon finally came within a few inches away from Davis and reared back his right arm to prepare to hit him squarely in the head. Kari and the rest of the DigiDestined covered their eyes just as the punch was about to make contact. After seconds of hearing nothing but silence they opened their eyes and were shocked at what they were seeing. Right in front of them was Piedotismon with his fist just inches away from Davis face. But what was really shocking was that Davis was able to, with his eyes closed block the punch with just one finger.

Not thinking about stopping, Piedotismon backed up and tried to punch Davis again. But like the previous time he blocked it again with one finger. "I was just curious. But are you ready to being for real or what?" questioned Davis. Now in a complete anger
Piedotismon attempted to hit Davis with everything he had only to have him either block it or simple dodge it while he kept his eyes closed. Ever DigiDestined and digimon couldn't hardly believe what they were seeing as they saw Piedotismon attempting to make contact with numerous punches and kicks only to see Davis prevent them from making contact.

Out of all the DigiDestined that were there Kari was the most shocked. She couldn't believe that Davis was facing off with a ultimate level mutant digimon that had the traits of both Myotismon and Piedmon and was actually winning. Allowing her eyes to look away from the battle she noticed that everyone was watching with wide eyes. Even Tai, Matt and Sora couldn't help but be shocked at what they were seeing. Continuing to look around she saw that Veemon had de-digivoled from X-Veemon and was now watching the battle without showing a bit of concern about what was happen.

"Why are you back to Veemon? What happens if Davis needs you?" questioned Kari to Veemon. "Why should I? Its just a ultimate? Besides, it would be unfair." answered Veemon without looking away from Davis and Piedotismon. "What do you mean unfair? How can you say it is unfair that if you do help Davis fight Piedotismon?" "Because...it will make Piedotismon's chances of winning more slimer than they already are. I give him five more minutes until Davis gets bored and finish it." "Until he gets bored?" "Can you see that Davis is toying with him? He could of finish him off a long time ago. Now he is just letting him think he still has a chance to win."

Confused by what Veemon said, Kari decided to see how was Davis was doing. Just like she saw before she saw Davis with his eyes still closed blocking or dodging every punch and kick that Piedotismon threw. Finally, after a few more failed attempts Piedotismon back away and was breathing heavily while Davis hadn't broken a sweat. He opened his eyes and noticed how his opponent was doing. "Oh you done already? I guess that means that it is my turn now."

Getting into a fighting stance Davis looked over to the mutated digimon and couldn't help but have a girn on his face. "Now don't blink. Or your going to miss this." Piedotismon and everyone DigiDestined and digimon looked over to Davis and wondering
what he was talking about. No sooner than he said that Davis disappeared without a trace. No one knew what happen until they heard a someone cry in pain. They turned to where the sound came from and saw that it was Piedotismon. But they were in complete shock when they saw what caused him to scream in pain.

Right below Piedotismon stood Davis with an elbow jammed into his stomach. Taking his elbow out he allowed Piedotismon to fall forward onto his stomach were he wasn't moving. Everyone was in complete silence. They couldn't believe what they just have seen. "What just happen there Tai? Tai?" Kari looked behind her and saw that like everyone else Tai was in complete shock at what he just saw.

"Don't worry guys he isn't died. Davis just knock the wind out of him." repiled Veemon. After saying those words they noticed that Piedotismon was indeed alive and was started to get up. "I suggest that you leave now and not comeback. Remember to tell Darkmon my answer to his propitiation." said Davis and then turned and walked away to join the others.

Felled by anger at being totally humilated by a mere human Piedotismon staggered to his feet and with pure hatred in his eyes watched as the DigiDestined named Davis walked over to his friends who were apparently going to congratulate him at what he did. Not being apply to maintain his anger anymore he charged at his adversary.

All the DigiDestined started to comment about how excellent Davis did against one of Darkmon's followers. Among them was Kari who couldn't help but enamour how brave and courageous at how Davis fought the mutant digimon on his own. She was about to go congratulate him along with Tai, Matt and Sora when she noticed the mutant digimon was coming from behind Davis and was prepared to hit him. She was about to warn him when she was interrupted by Davis next actions.

He quickly grabbed his from his back and turned around and pointed it straight at the digimon. Fortunately for the mutant digimon he was able to stop himself in time before impaling himself on the sword. But unfortunate for him the sword was now only mere inches away from his neck. "I am telling you that you should just leave. It would be wiser to go now than stay here and continue our fight." "You insolent fool. No wonder you haven't beaten Darkmon. You show too much mercy to your enemies. Your emotions and honor are what making you weak. They will lead to your downfall." "That is were you are wrong. My honor is something I value greatly. My emotions help make me what I am and show others I feel about them." replied Davis as he took a quick side glance towards Kari before continuing. "Those things also help me from not becoming a dishonorable and hearless bastard like you and Darkmon. So I will tell you again. Get out before you'll regret it." With that he moved his sword away from the mutant digimon's neck and started to walk away again.

Not listening to Davis' advice he leapt at him once again but was met by another elbow in the gut and a kick squarely in the face which caused the him to sent all the way to the other side of the base. "This is getting old. I will give you one last chance to leave here. Can't you see it is pointless for me to continue fighting you. Their is no chance for you to beat me."

Now completely fulled by being absolutely embarrassed Piedotismon decided that it was time to bring out the big guns. "You think you are so tough? From what I have seen you don't even come close to Darkmon's power. I will prove it right now with one of Piedmon's moves." After saying that he stretch his arms out in front of him and started to gather a lot of energy that surrounded him. Realizing what was happening Davis just stopped walking and turned around to face his opponent. "You just don't know when to quit do you? Fine. Hit me with your attack. Anything to get you to realize that you have no chance hurt me and to go away."

To everyone's surprise, including Davis, Piedotismon started to laugh monastically. "Who ever said I was aiming for you?" Then he turned away from Davis and was now aiming for something else that was at the side of him. Following the pathway were the blast would go he saw that it was aiming directly for Tai, Matt, Sora and Kari. "Get out of the way right now. He is going to fire at you." Seeing what he was talking about, all of them quickly moved out of the way. But unfortunately, Tai noticed that someone wasn't with them. Turning around he noticed that Kari was still were she was.

"Kari, move out of the way." he yelled towards her but she was too forzen in fear to move at all. Too far away to get there in time he turned to were Piedotismon was at and could see he was nearly complete in finishing powering up his attack which he could recall was Piedmon's Clown Trick. Then with out any warning he fired the energy ball directly to Kari. Even though he couldn't stop it in time Tai attempted to get Kari out of the way. Only to be held back by Sora and Matt. To his horror he could only watched as the energy ball engulfed his sister.

Everyone was in complete silence. No one could say anything about what just happen. Right in front of their eyes they saw Tai's little sister mercifully killed with no just caused. While the DigiDestined were morning the lose of one of their own Piedotismon was proud. Proud that he was able to get rid of one of the DigiDestined and cause the others to fell the pain for not being able to help her. He turned to look where he last saw Davis. He especially wanted to see wanted to see the pain of the lose of the girl that he couldn't save.

But when he looked where he last saw him he wasn't there. Searching around to find his enemy but couldn't see him anywhere. Suddenly he heard the other DigiDestined yelling in surprise. He looked to the source of the commotion he saw that they were all
gathered around where he had fired his energy ball. Even with all the dust he could still see that inside the dust cloud were two figures. One had to be the girl he attempted to fire at he figured. But he couldn't figure who was the other figure was.

When the dust finally settled Piedotismon and the rest of the DigiDestined saw that at the spot where the energy hit was Kari safe and sound. And the other to their amazement and to Piedotismon's chagrin was Davis. Apparently Davis was able to get to Kari before the energy ball came and protect her from the blast with his own body. As a result his back was completely covered in deep cuts which blood was pouring out of them.

Slowly seperating from each other Kari was trying to figure out what had happen. She saw that not only was she was still alive. But that someone had jumped in the way of the attack to save her. Looking over to her savior and saw that he had his head down to see clearly who he was. But for some odd reason she could tell who the person who saved her was. "Davis." Slowly lifting his head up to look clearly at her face. His face showing obvious pain. "Hey, are you alright?" "I am okay. Thanks to you. But why did you get yourself hurt to protect me?" "The reason is because-"

Before he could finish he shoved Kari away from him. Seconds after doing so he was wrapped up in a thunder like red rope. Once the rope had complete wrapped around him he was covered in what looked like lighting. Kari couldn't believe this. Davis was again saved her life. She looked to were the rope came from and saw that it came from Piedotismon who was now grinning from ear to ear. "I hate to say this, but I am impressed that you were able to save the girl and survive my attack. However, if Piedmon's Clown Trick couldn't finish you off. Then Myotismon's Crimson Lighting will certainly finish you."

After saying that the lighting around Davis got bigger and started to engulf him and he quickly started to cry out in pain. Not able to stand back and do nothing, Tai and Matt attempt to free Davis only to be thrown back by a stray lightning bolt. "I suggest that you don't try that again. Unlike Myotismon's Crimson Lighting, once mine wraps around something it sends over 20,000 volts of electricity. So if I were you I will just stand back and watch as you hero gets destroyed." Seeing as they couldn't do anything, Kari and the rest of the DigiDestined could only watch as Davis scream out in pain as the volts of electricity went through him.

While this was going on Piedotismon couldn't help but be amused by the screams that Davis was letting out. This would show him what happens when you embarrass him. "What do you say now Motomiya? Ready to surrender?" His only response was the screams of Davis. "Please Davis. Just give up. Its not worth it to die." pleaded everyone but no one more so that Kari who was starting get tears in her eyes. "Yes, listen to your friends. It would be wise to give up."

Relieving some of the power so to allow the captive boy to answer. "Answer now you fool. Are you going to surrender to me or not?" Opening his eyes now to directly look towards his captor. "I...I wi-will...I will...never give up." Struggling now to break free from the attack he grabbed the rope. And despite that he was intense pain he pulled on the rope, trying to free himself. Finally, with a serge of pure power he was able to break free and fall to the ground were he fell to his knees in exhaustion.

All the DigiDestined were stunned that Davis not only survived the attack but was able to break free without any help from Veemon. Not even Piedotismon was able to hide his disbelief. "How? How could you escape from my Crimson Lighting? Their is no
possible way." Kari and Veemon were the first to shake away the event that just occured and were running to see if Davis was okay. However, when they were about to help him up he gently pushed them aside. "No offense you guys but I have to ask you to get back.
I have some unfinish business to settle with." With that he looked over to Piedotismon and looked ready to finish this. One way or another this battle would come to a end.

"But Davis. You can't possible win this on your own. Let Veemon help you." pleaded Kari. "That is were you are wrong. No offense Veemon. But I think you understand why I have to do this." Not saying a word, Veemon just nodded his head that he understood. "Besides Kari, I don't think I would be needing any help in winning this battle." "What did you just call me?"

Without giving her his answer, he bravely marched over to his adversary. "Do you actually think you can beat me by trying to kill me friends and attacking from behind? Well do you?" Piedotismon couldn't say anything. By the look on his face everyone could see something that they haven't seen since he arrived. The look of pure fear. "But I have to say is that I am surprised. I am surprised you claimed that you are one of Darkmon's ultimate creations and have incredible power. But you are only able to fight when your opponent can't defend themself or when their backs are turned. Well let me show you what real power is made of."

Taking a battle stance, Davis closed his eyes and begain to focus. After seeing what he was able to do already, everyone took a few steps back not knowing what was going to happen. Slowly the ground started to shake. The stones that were around the entire field started float in the air and the ground started to come apart. Through all this Davis remain perfect still. As if everything that was happening around him was not really there.

Suddenly, a red light shined around him. Then it changed to blue and back to red. No one knew how to react by what they were seeing. Even Piedotismon was in complete shock at what he was seeing. Finally, Davis let out a huge yell and was then engulfed in a
huge red flame. (Like when Goku from Dragonball Z when he uses the Kaio-Ken). When everyone was able to see what had they saw that Davis' muscles had tripled and though his eyes were open they were now dark red instead of brown.

"What is this? What are you? Their is no way you can be like this." questioned a somewhat scared Piedotismon. Seeing as that it would be better to retreat than to continue, he started to slowly back away from them but was stop when Davis lifted his arm and aimed it at him. Not wanting to see what was going to happen, Piedotismon continued to back away when a blast from behind him, preventing him from going further. Looking behind him he saw that their was no one behind him. He turned back to face Davis. All he saw was him shaking side to side, signaling that he wasn't going to go anywhere.

Now in complete fear Piedotismon jumped into the air and tried to fly away. Instead of going after him, Davis merely looked to where he fleeting enemy was at. Then his face turn into a more serious one and the red flame that surrounded him grew bigger. He then crotched down and put his right arm behind him.

Not being to far off Kari could see that Davis was preparing something. Just like the others, she could only watched as Davis prepared to deliver the final blow. "RAGING..." he yelled as a ball of red energy formed in his hand and was growing by the second. "DRAGON." he finished as he shot his arm forward to allow the energy beam to hit its target.

Despite the fact that it was indeed lethal. Kari and everyone else couldn't help but be amazed at how magnificent it was. At the front of the energy beam it was shaped as a dragon's head. And with tremendous speed it was gaining up on the mutant digimon. Even though he was flying at his fastest. Piedotismon could not escape the on coming blast. With a cry in agony he was hit the with the energy beam and was quickly incinerated into data.

Everyone looked at where the attack had made contact to make sure that Piedotismon was really gone. When they saw that it was true they exploded with cheers. No one was holding back the joy in this victory. Every single person and digimon were celebration. While the celebration continue Kari looked for Davis. She found him in the same way he was when he fired his Raging Dragon attack. Slowly everyone stopped talking and looked over to Davis.

Slowly the red flame that covered him disappeared and his eyes turned back to their original color but he remaining in the same position as he was when firing that energy blast. After not moving an inch for a few more seconds he slowly he started to stand up straight and looked over to where Kari was standing. Then when everyone was about to go over to him to congratulate him he colasped face first into the ground.

Quickly all of them rushed to him to see if he was alright. The first ones there were Kari and Veemon. "Davis? Are you alright Davis?" asked Kari as she was kneeling beside him and lightly shaking him. But Davis didn't say anything and looked like he was seriously hurt. "Come on Davis. Say something. Please." Davis remain still a while longer until he finally stirred. "Davis, your alive." Davis tried to pushed himself up. But he was too hurt to get up. "Don't move Davis. You are badly hurt. Let Joe take a look at you."

Instead of arguing with her like she inspected. He stopped trying to get up and looked at her straight in the eyes. Still afraid that he was going to yell at her she prepared herself. But instead he gave her a smile. And not an ordinary smile. But the kind of smile that he usually gave her when they were little. "Alright Kari. I will listen to you. I am just glad that you are safe." replied Davis as he layed his head on the ground and passed out again. Leaving Kari in complete confusion. Did he really call her Kari? Did that mean he believed her? Or was it because he was nearly passed out? She have to wait to find out.
