When the eight digidestins took their digieggs, they all felt that some kind of power rose them into the sky, higher and higher. When they finally reached the Aurora Borealis they recognized what it really was: their way to the DigiWorld. After some seconds of traveling throughout worlds they finally reached the earth. Yes they were finally where they really wanted: into the DigiWorld.
"I have been waiting for this moment since we came home", said Mimi happy.
"But where are our partners?" asked Sora.
"I really hope that they are all OK!" , said T.K worried.
"Of course you have to hope", said a familiar voice behind their back.
"That's your nature", continued other familiar voices.
"Patamon!", shouted T.K happy.
"Gatomon" , said Kari with a smile on her face.
"You are all OK ", said the other digidestins and their digimons came to them. "Yes, we are all OK but...", said Pyomon worried.
"But what's wrong with you?", asked Sora
"Well it's something like this", said Agumon "Another Master of Darkness is threatening the DigiWorld. He is none other than the mythic Digimon ArchDevilmon.
"He is trying to banish or to turn into slaves all the Digimons", continued Gabumon"
"And that's why we are all here, to help you defeat him", Tai finally understood.
"Yep", said Palmon.
"But wait a minute, Joe, what are we going to do?", whispered Gomamon, "You no longer have those cool digi-amulets."
"And?", asked Joe.
"How are we going to transform?", finished Gomamon his question.
"Well, that's not a problem", said Tai triumphant. We still have something nice from...
"Me", said another familiar voice.
"Who said that?", asked Matt suspect.
"Look behind your back.", answered the familiar voice.
All the digidestins turned back to see who speaks, and they all saw: Gennai?!", said T.K.
"Yes, it is me.", answered Gennai absent-minded.
"What are you doing here?", said Tai "And did you really sent us the... what are they?"
"Well I am here to answer your questions, which seem to be very numerous", said Gennai.
"First things first. What are these?" , asked Matt showing to Gennai his Digi-Egg.
"These are the ancient legendary Digi-Armor-Eggs", explained Gennai to them. "Their power is formidable. But I should tell you the whole story...".
"Cool, Digi-Armor-Eggs", said Tai.
"Hrmf..."
"Uh, sorry Gennai", said Tai.
"Very well then. How I was saying", continued Gennai, "the real problem is that the digi-amulets were useless 'till you will discover the secret of... But that is not important to you."
"Why are the Digi-Amulets useless?", asked Izzy.
"Because of ArchDevilmon", said Gennai. "His demonic powers are too strong for you. His Darkness Ring will blow up every Champion or Ultimate transformation."
"I get it", said Izzy explaining. " It is because ArchDevilmon powers are stronger then our digivices and so his demonic energies will affect them causing a flux that will stop any transformation.", ended Izzy. " But Gennai, then why do the Digi-Armor-Eggs work?"
"Because their ancient power is not holy like the digi-vice's one", began to explained Gennai. "You will be able to transform to the armor level but you see, armor level is some kinda level between champion and ultra. It won't be enough to destroy ArchDevilmon".
"And another question. What level is ArchDevilmon?", asked Izzy.
"See this on your computer, Izzy.", said Gennai. "Sorry, but now the connection is getting weaker and soon I won't be able to help you. We will meet again. Until then, good luck digidestins", finished Gennai. And with this words he disappeared along with his "telephone".
"Now can we please see the lovely information on your Laptop?", asked mildly Tai.
"Oh shut up", said Izzy. "See here: ArchDevilmon, Devil Digimon, Typus Virus, Level GIGA."
"Level GIGA?", asked Matt. "But that's impossible."
"But if he is level giga he is stronger than any other digimons we fought.", said Izzy desperate.
"That means that we must fight the king of the digimons?!", said Tai
"And at level armor?!", said Matt.
"Oh shit!", finished Mimi.
"Oh, thanks you Mimi", said Tai sarcastic.
But until they could say anything the sky suddenly turned black, an intense black. A black so intense that everything was covered immediately by darkness. And then they heard a voice. A terrible voice. A voice that seemed to be the voice of the Devil himself.
"At last you have come digidestins", said the voice." Welcome to my realm. Welcome to the realm of Death."
"Who are you?" asked Tai trying to be courageous but in his voice you can sense fear. The voice laughed. "I am ArchDevilmon - The Keeper of Darkness", said the voice, and ArchDevilmon appeared up in the sky, just in front of them. He was very big. He had a red skin with two yellow eyes. His teeth and his cloak made him look like Dracula. He also had a very big scythe he was holding in his hand. You could've say he was a combination between a vampire and a devil.
ArchDevilmon looked at T.K and then the expression on his face was very strange. It seems that ArchDevilmon seemed to be very somehow scared by T.K. But how could a digimon so evil and strong be afraid by a little child and his pitiful digimon? Did ArchDevilmon heard about T.K's past? Did he knew how T.K defeated Devilmon?" Nothing mattered.just the expression on ArchDevilmon's face. "You will be the first who will die.", said ArchDevilmon. "You and your pitiful angelic digimon" . "Hand of Darkness", he shouted.
So he knew about T.K's past. But then why was he so scared? T.K had no power in front of the Keeper Of Darkness.
In a second all the digidestins knew what they had to do. They all took their Digi-Eggs and shouted: "Digi-Armor-Egg of Courage", shouted Tai
"Digi-Armor-Egg of Friendship", shouted Matt
"Digi-Armor-Egg of Love", shouted Sora
"Digi-Armor-Egg of Knowledge", shouted Izzy
"Digi-Armor-Egg of Sincerity", shouted Palmon
"Digi-Armor-Egg of Hope", shouted T.K who seemed not to be scared by ArchDevilmon.
"Digi-Armor-Egg of Light", shouted Kari There was a light moment again that pushed ArchDevilmon's Hand Of Darkness away and then: "Agumom, armor digivolve to ... Flamedramon", shouted Agumon "Gabumon, armor digivolve to ... Raidramon.", shouted Gabumon "Pyomon, armor digivolve to ... Halsemon", shouted Pyomon. "Tentomon, armor digivolve to ... Digmon", shouted Tentomon. "Palmon, armor digivolve to ... Shurimon", shouted Palmon. "Patamon, armor digivolve to ... Pegasusmon", shouted Patamon. "Gatomon, armor digivolve to ... Nefertimon", shouted Gatomon.
"Why don't you try the Digi-Armor-Egg Joe?" asked Gomamon.
"I don't know.", said Joe. "I just feel that it's not right to use it."
"Gomamon, digivolve to... Ikkakumon."
"Dark Ring", shouted ArchDevilmon and a ring of some kind of dark ray appeared around him and began to make bigger very fast. It was so fast that in two seconds it reached the entire forest and then it disappeared.
"I'm sorry Joe", said Ikkakumon while transforming back to Gomamon." You should've tried the Digi-Armor Egg. I am too weak to fight now. And hungry too.".
ArchDevilmon was laughing: "Give up? Or you want some more?"
"We will never give up", said Tai to ArchDevilmon. "We will fight until death comes".
"Then your death is almost here", said ArchDevilmon. "Demonic Wrath"
Several red rays came from his scythe and approached the digidestins and their partners.
"Blue lightning", cried Raidramon. His attack slowed the rays but it didn't stopped them.
"Fire Rockets, Gold Rush", shouted Digmon and Flamedramon. This two attack combined destroyed the rays. ArchDevilmon laughed.
"Pitiful", he said. "I can destroy you with one hand".
"You will never defeat us", said Tai.
"We are more numerous ", said Matt.
"Numerous and weak", said ArchDevilmon. "I will show you my true power". "Heart of the Death" he cried and many little darkness balls attacked the digimons. The balls were so fast and little that they were unable to dodge them. The digimons all fell to the ground.
"Did you have enough?", asked ArchDevilmon sarcastically.
"We told you", said T.K, "we won't ever give up".
"Very well", said ArchDevilmon, "then I think that this is the end, your end". But the digimons were faster. Until ArchDevilmon could attack, they grabbed their digi-partner and ran away.
"You won't give up ever ?", said ArchDevilmon, "Then what did you do now?"
"We got ready for our next battle", said Matt.
"There isn't going to be anymore battles", said ArchDevilmon. "The war is over". "Heart Of the Death."
But the balls didn't hit them. The digimons were ready and so they dodged them this time. Suddenly another expression of fear appeared on his face. But this time he wasn't looking at T.K. In fact, he wasn't looking at anyone.
"I will let you flee this time", said ArchDevilmon, "but the war isn't finished until one of us die". And after his last words, he began to laugh and then he disappeared leaving behind him a red cloud. The Keeper of Darkness retreated.
"Why did he let us escape?", asked Tai surprised, while the digimons were transforming back to rookie level.
"He was afraid of something", said Kari.
"How do you know that?", asked T.K.
"I saw it on his face. He seemed to be terrified by someone or something", said Kari.
"Another digimon of level Giga?", asked Izzy.
"I don't know, I didn't see what either", answered Kari.
"But how are we going to defeat this demon?", asked Sora.
"Well, actually we can, but we would need some help.", said Matt. "I think that the angel from my dream could help us".
Suddenly a ray of light appeared in front of them. and a circle of light surrounded the digidestins and their digimons. Then, from the ray of light (which seemed to be a portal) an angel came out. It seemed to be a digimon indeed. He had twelve huge wings, and a sword of gold in his hand. The digidestins couldn't see his face because it was covered with some kind of helmet. But his helmet wasn't like Angelwomon's or MagnaAngemon's. It had the same form as Angelwomon's but it was made out of gold. There were stones on it: emeralds, sapphires, rubies and other stuff. The helmet still wasn't complete. His eyes, nose and mouth could be seen. But they didn't seem to be what they were. It seemed that his face was covered with pure light.
"You are...", said Matt, "You are the angel from my dreams".
"That is correct", said the angel.
"Did you came to help us?", asked Sora.
"Of course I did", answered the angel. "I would do anything to help you defeat ArchDevilmon. His wrath become too strong; he must disappear. If not, the DigiWorld could be destroyed forever and lost into the eternal darkness."
"You seem to know many things", said Izzy curious.
"Indeed", confirmed the angel. "But first I think it would be Ok if I tell you who I am."
"Yes, it would be nice", said Kari
"I am Angelicmon, the protector of this world and the creator of the digivices", said the angel.
"You mean, you made the digivices?", asked Izzy very interested.
"Yes I did, and I tried to protect this world as much as I could", said Angelicmon. "But those who brought darkness into our world stopped me by destroying my protection and imprisoning me".
"Who are those who brought darkness into this world?", asked Sora.
"I don't know", said Angelicmon disappointed. "I only know that this hell started very long time ago. Yes, it happened until you eight came into this world. They began creating more and more demons. But you tried to defeat them one by one. And you did so. You defeated Devilmon, Myotismon, Etemon, and the 4 masters of darkness: Puppetmon, MetalSeadramon, Machindramon and Pietmon. Even their creator, you thought he was at that time, Apocalimon. But still in these hundred years they prepared for this moment: when ArchDevilmon will be created."
" You mean that 150 years have passed since we defeated Pietmon?", asked Mimi.
"Yes, indeed", said Angelicmon.
"And, Angelicmon, I have a simple question", said Tai, "Why did you went into Matt's dream and not in mine or maybe T.K's or I don't know?"
"OH, shut up Tai", said Matt nervous. "Angelicmon isn't charmed to listen your intelligent questions".
"Wait", said Angelicmon. "It's a very good question Matt, calm down".
"Very well".
"Well, you see Tai", began Angelicmon, " Matt was the perfect person. You may ask why, and I can give you an explanation". Tai cooled down but it seemed that he was still furious on Matt and maybe a little bit jealous.
"None of you (except Matt of course), was the person I was thinking to show within a dream what was going on into the Digital World. You Tai, wouldn't have believed in this dream", said Angelicmon, "wouldn't you?"
"Yes, maybe you are right.", said Tai.
"And Joe or Mimi either.", said Angelicmon.
"Yes, you are perfectly right", said Joe and Mimi.
"Neither of you 3 wouldn't have believed that this is something real. You would've all said that it is just a dream and nothing more" , explained Angelicmon. "On the other side, Sora and Kari would've forgot this dream".
"And what about me?", asked T.K.
"I am sorry T.K but I must tell you this. Perhaps after I will tell you, you will think that I think that you are just a helpless child. But I don't. So trust me T.K.", said Angelicmon regretfully then he spoke to the digidestins (to all of them), and to their digimons again. I don't think that I did the right thing but this was my decision. You see everyone, I wouldn't have like to hurt T.K's feelings. By showing him this dream I would've probably remembered him about his past. I know T.K that your past was horrible, and I don't want you to get through that again."
"Thanks for the explanation", said Tai.
"Angelicmon...", said Izzy
"Yes?", said Angelicmon looking at him.
"I was wondering if you could tell us something more about ArchDevilmon and about how will we be able to defeat him?", asked Izzy.
"Of course I can", said Angelicmon. "As you know ArchDevilmon is one of the strongest digimons that the DigiWorld ever met. Yes, maybe because of its level and because of its attack but not only. ArchDevilmon is making a huge army. And that's why you must be ready to defeat him as fast as possible. And yes, I will help you Tai. The primary problem is that you no longer have your amulets. But they are not lost. You will find them through this World. That's why I will have to send you to find them. I can't follow you in this journey, I'm sorry. So anyway, you will first have to find the amulets. Until that I will protect you from ArchDevilmon's Dark Ring. Because all his minions have this attack, you will need a special, holy power to confront him. And that power from now on will be in you".
After his last words, Angelicmon pointed the sword into the sky and rays of light fell upon the digidestins and their digimons.
"The second problem", continued Angelicmon, "is that even at level Ultimate, you won't be able to defeat ArchDevilmon. You need some special power to evoluate further. You must find the stones of the soul. Those can also be found on several islands. Still, I would like to give you a suggestion: until you will find the amulets, try only to use level armor. Digimons at this level are stronger then at level Champion."
"But what will we do if ArchDevilmon will attack us?", asked Tai
"I knew you would ask that", said Angelicmon with a glorious smile on his face. "You must look at the sky. You see, when ArchDevilmon hadn't existed, the sky was light-blue, even white. But now, as long as ArchDevilmon lives the sky will be purple".
"And so what?", said Matt annoyed. "He will always be in this world until we destroy it. And so the ski will be forever purple."
"Not quite", said Angelicmon with that smile on his face. "When ArchDevilmon is near, the sky will turn into gray, and when he is very near, the sky becomes dark. So dark that no light will pass throughout it. So when the sky will become gray, run away, or if you really think you can, hide."
"But I have another question, Angelicmon", said Izzy.
"Yes?", Angelicmon said.
"Well, I suppose that we must find the amulets to defeat ArchDevilmon, right?", asked Izzy.
"Yes!", said Angelicmon.
"And they are hidden on several islands guarded by ArchDevilmon's demons, right?", said Izzy.
"Right", affirmed Angelicmon.
"But, how are we going to make it to those islands?", asked Izzy.
"Good question", said Angelicmon. " Well, there is a way. I could teleport you there, but how will I know when to pick you up?"
"Well, maybe we could make fireworks", said Tai.
"Oh, come on Tai", said Sora
"I was just kidding a little", said Tai innocent.
"The digivices", said Izzy.
"You are right again", said Angelicmon. "You digidestins really amaze me. I knew that you all are ambitious, brave and with honest but I never thought you will be so smart".
"Oh, don't say that. we aren't that smart", said Izzy blushing
"Angelicmon?", said T.K.
"Yes?", asked Angelicmon.
"Could you tell us what are the digi-eggs?" asked T.K.
"I'm afraid not", said Angelicmon. "I'm very sorry but I really can't. I only created the digivices. The digi-eggs are ancient devices.They had been created even before I was born. So, I'm afraid I can't answer you this question."
"Now you should rest", said Angelicmon. "You must all be very tired after the long fight".
They really were. So they decided first to search for some food (they found some apples and blackberries) and some water to drink (they found a spring from where they drink as much as they could). After that, tired, they all went to sleep. Almost all. Izzy still remained to do some equations on his computer.
"Aren't you going to sleep?", asked him Angelicmon.
"I can't", said Izzy. "I have something in my mind".
"Maybe I could help you.", said Angelicmon.
"Of course", said Izzy happy that he wasn't alone.
After hours of writing and thinking.
"I think I got it", said Izzy happy.
"No you didn't", said Angelicmon. "You say this for the seventh time".
"Oh yes, I really got it", said Izzy.
"But, sorry to ask", said Angelicmon, "what are we searching for?"
"I'll tell you immediately.", Izzy said
After more 30 minutes.
"Yes, now I really got it", said Izzy.
"Really?", asked Angelicmon
"Yes", said Izzy. "But I will need your power".
"Of course", said Angelicmon pleased that he could help Izzy.
"I had to search 2 hours and to analyze your powers", said Izzy, "at least I hope it works".
"You were analyzing my powers?", said Angelicmon.
"Yes", said Izzy. "Your secondary attack is the holy purpose, right?"
"Yes. And so what?", said Angelicmon confused seeing how many things Izzy knew.
"Well, I think that you could imbue our digivices with this power so we could teleport anywhere and maybe get some power so we could use the digivices as a weapon.", said Izzy pleased, but worned out. "I tried to find out if it surely works and now I positive about it. It will work!"
"Izzy", said Angelicmon, "you are a genius!"
"Thanks", said Izzy while taking the digivices from his friends, trying not to wake them up.
"Could you imbue them now?", asked Izzy after bringing the digivices.
"Yes!", said Angelicmon. "I am sure of it."
"Then do it", said Izzy.
"Holy Purpose", Angelicmon shouted. Suddenly, the digivices began to float releasing a gold light.
"This should do it", said Angelicmon.
"What happened?", asked Sora
"It's OK!", said Izzy. "I'll explain you tomorrow. Let's all go to sleep". "I will remain here to guard you", said Angelicmon.
"Good night !",said Tai.
But that night T.K couldn't sleep. He just continued to think about Devilmon and how was Patamon killed. His memories became clearer. And now they had to destroy another bad digimon. It seemed a little bit unfair. They could only be in this world when they were needed. But why can't they live along with their digimons happy? Is this their destiny? He kept putting himself many questions .
In the morning the digimons awaked first. But soon after that, their partners opened their eyes too. They ate more apples, drank more water and were pleased that another shiny day was just ahead of them. Well as shiny as this could be...
"Well", said Tai, "I think it is time to begin our journey".
"Not yet", said Izzy and he explained them all about the digivices.
"So Angelicmon imbued them with his power?", asked Matt.
"Maybe, we will be able to inspire our digimons", said Sora.
"Hello everyone ", said Angelicmon. "Did you sleep well?"
The digidestins affirmed.
"Angelicmon", said Izzy, "I have some more questions for you."
"For god sake", said Angelicmon exasperated. "What is it?"
"Well, after we will be able to find the amulets and maybe the stones, then we will be able to defeat ArchDevilmon?"
"Maybe."
"And by the way, I have now an interesting question", said Tai, "where did ArchDevilmon go?"
"A very intelligent question", said Sora sarcastic.
"Well, this one's easy", said Angelicmon relaxed. "His main base is the Floating Fortress from Sara continent. It is a very old, dark castle. Ancient legends, tell that the spirits of hell and darkness haunts it, and it seems that they are right. But you won't be able to teleport inside it or even approach very near. Ancient mystic dark energies protect the place and that's nothing. A very special shield protects ArchDevilmon's fortress. This shield is formed from five elements: the four basic elements (air, water, fire, earth) and the elements of darkness. And other possible elements too (electricity, ice.)"
"But how are we going to destroy that shield?", asked Izzy.
"I don't know", said Angelicmon. "But I heard many legends about the elemental islands. Maybe that is the key."
"Very well then", Tai said, "I think we should go and try to find the amulets".
"If you need my help", said Angelicmon worried "just use the digivices".
"We will", said Matt while Angelicmon was disappearing into another light ray.
"Well", said Kari, "shouldn't we go now to?"
"Kari is right", said T.K, "we can't just stay here and wait until ArchDevilmon comes."
Izzy pointed his digivice into the sky and he said "continent Sarba", and after that he dissapeard into a light ray with Tentomon.
"We should do the same thing", said Sora while disappearing into another ray of light with Pyomon.
"I hope everything will be OK!", said Tai.
"Don't worry", said Matt calm and they both disappeared into a separate ray with their digimon partners.
"If this is our destiny, then we must follow it", said T.K and he disappeared into another light ray with Patamon, followed by Kari.
"I hope everything will be OK!", said Mimi and she disappeared into a light ray.
"Wait for me", said Joe panicked while disappearing followed by Gomamon.
The digidestins were getting ready for another adventure full of mysteries.
"Stupid kids", said ArchDevilmon appearing into a red cloud. "They think that they can destroy me, but they are all so wrong. The Digidestins and that stupid Angelicmon. The plan goes perfectly. Soon I will be able to rule this world and then I will be the emperor of my digimons. Or maybe I should say the emperor of my slaves." With this words ArchDevilmon began to laugh and then he disappeared.

"Yep", said Palmon.

"Look behind your back.", answered the familiar voice.
All the digidestins turned back to see who speaks, and they all saw: Gennai?!", said T.K.
"Yes, it is me.", answered Gennai absent-minded.
"What are you doing here?", said Tai "And did you really sent us the... what are they?"
"Well I am here to answer your questions, which seem to be very numerous", said Gennai.
"First things first. What are these?" , asked Matt showing to Gennai his Digi-Egg.
"These are the ancient legendary Digi-Armor-Eggs", explained Gennai to them. "Their power is formidable. But I should tell you the whole story...".
"Cool, Digi-Armor-Eggs", said Tai.
"Hrmf..."
"Uh, sorry Gennai", said Tai.
"Very well then. How I was saying", continued Gennai, "the real problem is that the digi-amulets were useless 'till you will discover the secret of... But that is not important to you."
"Why are the Digi-Amulets useless?", asked Izzy.
"Because of ArchDevilmon", said Gennai. "His demonic powers are too strong for you. His Darkness Ring will blow up every Champion or Ultimate transformation."

"Because their ancient power is not holy like the digi-vice's one", began to explained Gennai. "You will be able to transform to the armor level but you see, armor level is some kinda level between champion and ultra. It won't be enough to destroy ArchDevilmon".

"Oh shut up", said Izzy. "See here: ArchDevilmon, Devil Digimon, Typus Virus, Level GIGA."
"Level GIGA?", asked Matt. "But that's impossible."
"But if he is level giga he is stronger than any other digimons we fought.", said Izzy desperate.
"That means that we must fight the king of the digimons?!", said Tai
"And at level armor?!", said Matt.
"Oh shit!", finished Mimi.
"Oh, thanks you Mimi", said Tai sarcastic.
But until they could say anything the sky suddenly turned black, an intense black. A black so intense that everything was covered immediately by darkness. And then they heard a voice. A terrible voice. A voice that seemed to be the voice of the Devil himself.

"I am ArchDevilmon - The Keeper of Darkness", said the voice, and ArchDevilmon appeared up in the sky, just in front of them. He was very big. He had a red skin with two yellow eyes. His teeth and his cloak made him look like Dracula. He also had a very big scythe he was holding in his hand. You could've say he was a combination between a vampire and a devil.
ArchDevilmon looked at T.K and then the expression on his face was very strange. It seems that ArchDevilmon seemed to be very somehow scared by T.K.

So he knew about T.K's past. But then why was he so scared? T.K had no power in front of the Keeper Of Darkness.

"Digi-Armor-Egg of Light", shouted Kari There was a light moment again that pushed ArchDevilmon's Hand Of Darkness away and then: "Agumom, armor digivolve to ... Flamedramon", shouted Agumon "Gabumon, armor digivolve to ... Raidramon.", shouted Gabumon "Pyomon, armor digivolve to ... Halsemon", shouted Pyomon. "Tentomon, armor digivolve to ... Digmon", shouted Tentomon. "Palmon, armor digivolve to ... Shurimon", shouted Palmon. "Patamon, armor digivolve to ... Pegasusmon", shouted Patamon. "Gatomon, armor digivolve to ... Nefertimon", shouted Gatomon.
"Why don't you try the Digi-Armor-Egg Joe?" asked Gomamon.
"I don't know.", said Joe. "I just feel that it's not right to use it."
"Gomamon, digivolve to... Ikkakumon."
"Dark Ring", shouted ArchDevilmon and a ring of some kind of dark ray appeared around him and began to make bigger very fast. It was so fast that in two seconds it reached the entire forest and then it disappeared.
"I'm sorry Joe", said Ikkakumon while transforming back to Gomamon." You should've tried the Digi-Armor Egg. I am too weak to fight now. And hungry too.".
ArchDevilmon was laughing: "Give up? Or you want some more?"
"We will never give up", said Tai to ArchDevilmon. "We will fight until death comes".
"Then your death is almost here", said ArchDevilmon. "Demonic Wrath"
Several red rays came from his scythe and approached the digidestins and their partners.
"Blue lightning", cried Raidramon. His attack slowed the rays but it didn't stopped them.
"Fire Rockets, Gold Rush", shouted Digmon and Flamedramon. This two attack combined destroyed the rays. ArchDevilmon laughed.
"Pitiful", he said. "I can destroy you with one hand".
"You will never defeat us", said Tai.
"We are more numerous ", said Matt.
"Numerous and weak", said ArchDevilmon. "I will show you my true power". "Heart of the Death" he cried and many little darkness balls attacked the digimons. The balls were so fast and little that they were unable to dodge them. The digimons all fell to the ground.
"Did you have enough?", asked ArchDevilmon sarcastically.
"We told you", said T.K, "we won't ever give up".
"Very well", said ArchDevilmon, "then I think that this is the end, your end". But the digimons were faster. Until ArchDevilmon could attack, they grabbed their digi-partner and ran away.
"You won't give up ever ?", said ArchDevilmon, "Then what did you do now?"
"We got ready for our next battle", said Matt.
"There isn't going to be anymore battles", said ArchDevilmon. "The war is over". "Heart Of the Death."
But the balls didn't hit them. The digimons were ready and so they dodged them this time. Suddenly another expression of fear appeared on his face. But this time he wasn't looking at T.K. In fact, he wasn't looking at anyone.
"I will let you flee this time", said ArchDevilmon, "but the war isn't finished until one of us die". And after his last words, he began to laugh and then he disappeared leaving behind him a red cloud. The Keeper of Darkness retreated.
"Why did he let us escape?", asked Tai surprised, while the digimons were transforming back to rookie level.
"He was afraid of something", said Kari.
"How do you know that?", asked T.K.
"I saw it on his face. He seemed to be terrified by someone or something", said Kari.
"Another digimon of level Giga?", asked Izzy.
"I don't know, I didn't see what either", answered Kari.
"But how are we going to defeat this demon?", asked Sora.
"Well, actually we can, but we would need some help.", said Matt. "I think that the angel from my dream could help us".
Suddenly a ray of light appeared in front of them. and a circle of light surrounded the digidestins and their digimons. Then, from the ray of light (which seemed to be a portal) an angel came out. It seemed to be a digimon indeed. He had twelve huge wings, and a sword of gold in his hand. The digidestins couldn't see his face because it was covered with some kind of helmet. But his helmet wasn't like Angelwomon's or MagnaAngemon's. It had the same form as Angelwomon's but it was made out of gold. There were stones on it: emeralds, sapphires, rubies and other stuff. The helmet still wasn't complete. His eyes, nose and mouth could be seen. But they didn't seem to be what they were. It seemed that his face was covered with pure light.
"You are...", said Matt, "You are the angel from my dreams".
"That is correct", said the angel.
"Did you came to help us?", asked Sora.
"Of course I did", answered the angel. "I would do anything to help you defeat ArchDevilmon. His wrath become too strong; he must disappear. If not, the DigiWorld could be destroyed forever and lost into the eternal darkness."
"You seem to know many things", said Izzy curious.
"Indeed", confirmed the angel. "But first I think it would be Ok if I tell you who I am."
"Yes, it would be nice", said Kari
"I am Angelicmon, the protector of this world and the creator of the digivices", said the angel.
"You mean, you made the digivices?", asked Izzy very interested.
"Yes I did, and I tried to protect this world as much as I could", said Angelicmon. "But those who brought darkness into our world stopped me by destroying my protection and imprisoning me".
"Who are those who brought darkness into this world?", asked Sora.
"I don't know", said Angelicmon disappointed. "I only know that this hell started very long time ago. Yes, it happened until you eight came into this world. They began creating more and more demons. But you tried to defeat them one by one. And you did so. You defeated Devilmon, Myotismon, Etemon, and the 4 masters of darkness: Puppetmon, MetalSeadramon, Machindramon and Pietmon. Even their creator, you thought he was at that time, Apocalimon. But still in these hundred years they prepared for this moment: when ArchDevilmon will be created."
" You mean that 150 years have passed since we defeated Pietmon?", asked Mimi.
"Yes, indeed", said Angelicmon.
"And, Angelicmon, I have a simple question", said Tai, "Why did you went into Matt's dream and not in mine or maybe T.K's or I don't know?"
"OH, shut up Tai", said Matt nervous. "Angelicmon isn't charmed to listen your intelligent questions".
"Wait", said Angelicmon. "It's a very good question Matt, calm down".
"Very well".
"Well, you see Tai", began Angelicmon, " Matt was the perfect person. You may ask why, and I can give you an explanation". Tai cooled down but it seemed that he was still furious on Matt and maybe a little bit jealous.
"None of you (except Matt of course), was the person I was thinking to show within a dream what was going on into the Digital World. You Tai, wouldn't have believed in this dream", said Angelicmon, "wouldn't you?"
"Yes, maybe you are right.", said Tai.
"And Joe or Mimi either.", said Angelicmon.
"Yes, you are perfectly right", said Joe and Mimi.
"Neither of you 3 wouldn't have believed that this is something real. You would've all said that it is just a dream and nothing more" , explained Angelicmon. "On the other side, Sora and Kari would've forgot this dream".
"And what about me?", asked T.K.
"I am sorry T.K but I must tell you this. Perhaps after I will tell you, you will think that I think that you are just a helpless child. But I don't. So trust me T.K.", said Angelicmon regretfully then he spoke to the digidestins (to all of them), and to their digimons again. I don't think that I did the right thing but this was my decision. You see everyone, I wouldn't have like to hurt T.K's feelings. By showing him this dream I would've probably remembered him about his past. I know T.K that your past was horrible, and I don't want you to get through that again."
"Thanks for the explanation", said Tai.
"Angelicmon...", said Izzy
"Yes?", said Angelicmon looking at him.
"I was wondering if you could tell us something more about ArchDevilmon and about how will we be able to defeat him?", asked Izzy.
"Of course I can", said Angelicmon. "As you know ArchDevilmon is one of the strongest digimons that the DigiWorld ever met. Yes, maybe because of its level and because of its attack but not only. ArchDevilmon is making a huge army. And that's why you must be ready to defeat him as fast as possible. And yes, I will help you Tai. The primary problem is that you no longer have your amulets. But they are not lost. You will find them through this World. That's why I will have to send you to find them. I can't follow you in this journey, I'm sorry. So anyway, you will first have to find the amulets. Until that I will protect you from ArchDevilmon's Dark Ring. Because all his minions have this attack, you will need a special, holy power to confront him. And that power from now on will be in you".
After his last words, Angelicmon pointed the sword into the sky and rays of light fell upon the digidestins and their digimons.
"The second problem", continued Angelicmon, "is that even at level Ultimate, you won't be able to defeat ArchDevilmon. You need some special power to evoluate further. You must find the stones of the soul. Those can also be found on several islands. Still, I would like to give you a suggestion: until you will find the amulets, try only to use level armor. Digimons at this level are stronger then at level Champion."
"But what will we do if ArchDevilmon will attack us?", asked Tai
"I knew you would ask that", said Angelicmon with a glorious smile on his face. "You must look at the sky. You see, when ArchDevilmon hadn't existed, the sky was light-blue, even white. But now, as long as ArchDevilmon lives the sky will be purple".
"And so what?", said Matt annoyed. "He will always be in this world until we destroy it. And so the ski will be forever purple."
"Not quite", said Angelicmon with that smile on his face. "When ArchDevilmon is near, the sky will turn into gray, and when he is very near, the sky becomes dark. So dark that no light will pass throughout it. So when the sky will become gray, run away, or if you really think you can, hide."
"But I have another question, Angelicmon", said Izzy.
"Yes?", Angelicmon said.
"Well, I suppose that we must find the amulets to defeat ArchDevilmon, right?", asked Izzy.
"Yes!", said Angelicmon.
"And they are hidden on several islands guarded by ArchDevilmon's demons, right?", said Izzy.
"Right", affirmed Angelicmon.
"But, how are we going to make it to those islands?", asked Izzy.
"Good question", said Angelicmon. " Well, there is a way. I could teleport you there, but how will I know when to pick you up?"
"Well, maybe we could make fireworks", said Tai.
"Oh, come on Tai", said Sora
"I was just kidding a little", said Tai innocent.
"The digivices", said Izzy.
"You are right again", said Angelicmon. "You digidestins really amaze me. I knew that you all are ambitious, brave and with honest but I never thought you will be so smart".
"Oh, don't say that. we aren't that smart", said Izzy blushing
"Angelicmon?", said T.K.
"Yes?", asked Angelicmon.
"Could you tell us what are the digi-eggs?" asked T.K.
"I'm afraid not", said Angelicmon. "I'm very sorry but I really can't. I only created the digivices. The digi-eggs are ancient devices.They had been created even before I was born. So, I'm afraid I can't answer you this question."
"Now you should rest", said Angelicmon. "You must all be very tired after the long fight".
They really were. So they decided first to search for some food (they found some apples and blackberries) and some water to drink (they found a spring from where they drink as much as they could). After that, tired, they all went to sleep. Almost all. Izzy still remained to do some equations on his computer.
"Aren't you going to sleep?", asked him Angelicmon.
"I can't", said Izzy. "I have something in my mind".
"Maybe I could help you.", said Angelicmon.
"Of course", said Izzy happy that he wasn't alone.
After hours of writing and thinking.
"I think I got it", said Izzy happy.
"No you didn't", said Angelicmon. "You say this for the seventh time".
"Oh yes, I really got it", said Izzy.
"But, sorry to ask", said Angelicmon, "what are we searching for?"
"I'll tell you immediately.", Izzy said
After more 30 minutes.
"Yes, now I really got it", said Izzy.
"Really?", asked Angelicmon
"Yes", said Izzy. "But I will need your power".
"Of course", said Angelicmon pleased that he could help Izzy.
"I had to search 2 hours and to analyze your powers", said Izzy, "at least I hope it works".
"You were analyzing my powers?", said Angelicmon.
"Yes", said Izzy. "Your secondary attack is the holy purpose, right?"
"Yes. And so what?", said Angelicmon confused seeing how many things Izzy knew.
"Well, I think that you could imbue our digivices with this power so we could teleport anywhere and maybe get some power so we could use the digivices as a weapon.", said Izzy pleased, but worned out. "I tried to find out if it surely works and now I positive about it. It will work!"
"Izzy", said Angelicmon, "you are a genius!"
"Thanks", said Izzy while taking the digivices from his friends, trying not to wake them up.
"Could you imbue them now?", asked Izzy after bringing the digivices.
"Yes!", said Angelicmon. "I am sure of it."
"Then do it", said Izzy.
"Holy Purpose", Angelicmon shouted. Suddenly, the digivices began to float releasing a gold light.
"This should do it", said Angelicmon.
"What happened?", asked Sora
"It's OK!", said Izzy. "I'll explain you tomorrow. Let's all go to sleep". "I will remain here to guard you", said Angelicmon.
"Good night !",said Tai.
But that night T.K couldn't sleep. He just continued to think about Devilmon and how was Patamon killed. His memories became clearer. And now they had to destroy another bad digimon. It seemed a little bit unfair. They could only be in this world when they were needed. But why can't they live along with their digimons happy? Is this their destiny? He kept putting himself many questions .
In the morning the digimons awaked first. But soon after that, their partners opened their eyes too. They ate more apples, drank more water and were pleased that another shiny day was just ahead of them. Well as shiny as this could be...
"Well", said Tai, "I think it is time to begin our journey".
"Not yet", said Izzy and he explained them all about the digivices.
"So Angelicmon imbued them with his power?", asked Matt.
"Maybe, we will be able to inspire our digimons", said Sora.
"Hello everyone ", said Angelicmon. "Did you sleep well?"
The digidestins affirmed.
"Angelicmon", said Izzy, "I have some more questions for you."
"For god sake", said Angelicmon exasperated. "What is it?"
"Well, after we will be able to find the amulets and maybe the stones, then we will be able to defeat ArchDevilmon?"
"Maybe."
"And by the way, I have now an interesting question", said Tai, "where did ArchDevilmon go?"
"A very intelligent question", said Sora sarcastic.
"Well, this one's easy", said Angelicmon relaxed. "His main base is the Floating Fortress from Sara continent. It is a very old, dark castle. Ancient legends, tell that the spirits of hell and darkness haunts it, and it seems that they are right. But you won't be able to teleport inside it or even approach very near. Ancient mystic dark energies protect the place and that's nothing. A very special shield protects ArchDevilmon's fortress. This shield is formed from five elements: the four basic elements (air, water, fire, earth) and the elements of darkness. And other possible elements too (electricity, ice.)"
"But how are we going to destroy that shield?", asked Izzy.
"I don't know", said Angelicmon. "But I heard many legends about the elemental islands. Maybe that is the key."
"Very well then", Tai said, "I think we should go and try to find the amulets".
"If you need my help", said Angelicmon worried "just use the digivices".
"We will", said Matt while Angelicmon was disappearing into another light ray.
"Well", said Kari, "shouldn't we go now to?"
"Kari is right", said T.K, "we can't just stay here and wait until ArchDevilmon comes."
Izzy pointed his digivice into the sky and he said "continent Sarba", and after that he dissapeard into a light ray with Tentomon.
"We should do the same thing", said Sora while disappearing into another ray of light with Pyomon.
"I hope everything will be OK!", said Tai.
"Don't worry", said Matt calm and they both disappeared into a separate ray with their digimon partners.
"If this is our destiny, then we must follow it", said T.K and he disappeared into another light ray with Patamon, followed by Kari.
"I hope everything will be OK!", said Mimi and she disappeared into a light ray.
"Wait for me", said Joe panicked while disappearing followed by Gomamon.
The digidestins were getting ready for another adventure full of mysteries.
"Stupid kids", said ArchDevilmon appearing into a red cloud. "They think that they can destroy me, but they are all so wrong. The Digidestins and that stupid Angelicmon. The plan goes perfectly. Soon I will be able to rule this world and then I will be the emperor of my digimons. Or maybe I should say the emperor of my slaves." With this words ArchDevilmon began to laugh and then he disappeared.
