Sumi: What kind of battle I'm going to face?

Me: You'll know it soon.

Sumi: Oh well.

Me: Again, Digimon is not mine and it cannot and never be mine although I hope to own them. It belongs to Toei Animation & Foxkids. I own only the characters I added myself. Let head on to the story.

Chapter 13: Battle in the dark

*Taichi's POV*

I sensed Sumi and Yamato. They are coming. Told them not to come. Daemon was laughing,

"Finally, the leader of the world's digidestinated and your best friend are coming to get you! I had been waiting for this day to come when I can get hold of both arrow of light and hope to grow stronger. I can conquer both the Real world and the Digital World."

"Don't be so naive. Sumi and Yamato are strong enough to beat you, don't look down on them. You can never succeed." I muttered.

*************

*Hikari's POV*

The Dark gate is opened. I sensed it. Ken agreed with me. Is Daemon coming? This question always popped out of my head. Three years ago, we sealed him in the dark ocean. He said he would be back. Ken could no longer open the dark gate. Who could it be? Sumi? She had the key to all the dimension exist.

Daisuke smiled at me, "It's time now." I don't know what he means. Ken nodded his head. Miyako and Iori were scared. I know it from the look on their faces. Takeru and Patamon were preparing to fight anytime. I looked out of the window. I hope nothing bad will happen.

*************

*Ryo's POV*

We gathered at the park waiting for Sumi and Yamato. They are going to get Taichi out. I was very nervous. I had never seen Taichi for a very long, long time. From the look of Takato, he seems confident. He had seen "the show". That raised my confidence. Monodramon patted me on my shoulder reassuring me. I smiled at him. Good luck, Yamato, Sumi.

*************

*Ken's POV*

We went to the park where the dark gate was being opened. Miyako and Iori stayed back. They were scared anyway. Hikari was worried. I don't know what will happen. I hugged Wormmon tighter. We saw the tamers gathering over there. I ran over to Ryo. I asked him why they were here. They already know about it. I guessed we are the last to know what is happening. Jenrya was trying to talk us into going back first. I refused but relented when Daisuke agreed anyway he is our leader. Hikari refused to go back too. Takeru have his ways of getting Hikari to listen to him. Hence, we went back waiting for news of Sumi and Yamato.

*************

*Yamato's POV*

Dark Ocean was indeed dark. I can't see my five fingers at first. Sumi looked solemn. This was a battle to save my best friend. He wouldn't want to see me here but I want to help. Daemon wanted my arrow of hope but I will never give it to him! Never!

Agumon was hoping to find Taichi soon to digivolve. Gabumon and Black Agumon already digivolved. We found the route to the cave. We walked for a while but Sumi stopped halfway.

"Somebody is here to welcome us." She said.

Indeed, Daemon sent a dark digimon as a welcome gift.

"It's Black Metal Garurumon!" Sumi told me. I knew it. I had seen Black Wargreymon obviously there is a Black Metal Garurumon sooner or later. Metal Garurumon was getting ready to fight. Sumi was holding Agumon back.

"You go and look for Taichi, we'll stay here to fight!" I heard Sumi told Agumon. Agumon obeyed and headed towards to dark cave as he cannot fight with his current state.

*Normal POV*

Daemon was laughing while watching Black Wargreymon and Metal Garurumon battling with Black Metal Garurumon. His Black Metal Garurumon was losing and yet he was laughing. Taichi did not feel well as the fight was going on. He felt pain whenever an attack was inflicted onto Black Metal Garurumon.

"Taichi! Where are you?" Taichi heard a voice calling out for him as he was in semi-consciousness.

"Agumon." He called out.

*************

Outside the cave, Sumi and Yamato were cheering as Black Metal Garurumon was deleted.

Yamato did not feel quite right, "Oh no!"

"What?" asked Sumi. Yamato forgot that Taichi's life energy was being used up by Black Metal Garurumon. Taichi could be killed.

"Hahaha!" Sumi and Yamato heard a voice.

"I have been waiting for this day to come, holy child with the arrow of hope and the leader of world's digidestinated! Both of you are strong indeed. I'll get hold of arrow of light and hope from you!" Yamato and Sumi were preparing to fight. Yamato felt Taichi's presence.

"He's still alive! His life energy was not yet used up." Yamato realized. "Come and get me if you can." Yamato challenged Daemon. Metal Garurumon and Blackwargreymon were prepaing to fight.

*************

Author's note: Cliffhanger... Agumon found Taichi who was very weak. Will Taichi be saved? Sumi is going to break the seal in Taichi to get him out. But how? Stay tune. Please R & R. ^^
