Hi! Sorry it took so long to update. I've had a bit of a bad week, but everything's okay now. Let's begin!

Disclaimer: Am I really supposed to do one of these every chapter?

TK: Last time, Yolei got her crest and Aquilamon Digivolved to Silphymon! (And let it slip that he was gay.) We then journeyed to a nearby canyon to find the Destiny Stone. But before we could activate it, Arukenimon and Mummymon showed up with their new construct, Piedmon! While everyone else kept the Phantom occupied, BlackWarGreymon and I struggled to get back my Crest. Once I did, Angemon Digivolved to MagnaAngemon and defeated Piedmon! (With a little help, of course.)

"Spider Shooter!" Infermon opened her mouth and fired a huge fireball from a launcher. Infermon was a huge red and white Digimon. A strong carapace covered most of her body, but the rest of it was flexible gray flesh. Her head was oval-shaped, with recessed green eyes and a curved red horn growing from her forehead. Her gray neck grew out of the aforementioned carapace, which looked like a spider's. It had three yellow spikes on top, and three on the bottom. Four thin gray spider legs ending in three talons grew from orifices in the armor. The carapace extended a few feet back and ended in another spike. Two more legs grew from this end of the carapace.

The fireball headed straight for the Destiny Stone. Ankylomon ran in front of the blast, taking the blow. He grunted and de-digivolved to Armadillomon. Cody ran across the snow and picked him up. "Armadillomon! Are you alright?"

"Ah'm hungry, Cody." Said the dazed armadillo.

The small boy smiled in relief. "That's a good sign. You're always hungry."

Infermon was another Control Spire Digimon. When the Digidestined arrived in the snowy glacier that was home to another Destiny Stone, they found BlackWarGreymon fighting an army of Chrysalimon. While they were able to defeat the floating bugs (with surprising difficulty), Arukenimon caused the remaining Chrysalimon to merge into Infermon. And that's pretty much where we are now.

BlackWarGreymon hurled a Terra Destroyer at Infermon and turned his head to the children. "Hikari Kamiya! Your crest is in the Destiny Stone!"

The brown-haired girl nodded. "Great! Nefertimon, come on!" The sphinx Digimon broke off from the battle and flew after her partner towards the Destiny Stone.

"Spider Shuriken!"

"Deshperado Blashter!"

"Astro Laser!"

"Terra Destroyer!"

The four attacks exploded on Infermon's shell. The spider flinched slightly. Very slightly. MagnaAngemon yelled a battlecry and charged at Infermon with Excalibur. The spider jumped in the air, spread out her legs, and started spinning. MagnaAngemon was knocked away by the resulting whirling dervish, causing him to land on Silphymon in a very awkward position. The Animal grinned eagerly. "MagnaAngemon, I had no idea you felt the same way about me-"

"Shut up!" The Angel smacked Silphymon on the head and quickly got off.

"Network Grenade!" Infermon launched several spheres from her feet. They landed on the ground or hovered in the air, then started glowing. Beams of light shot from each sphere, connecting all of the orbs together by a huge web of light that, unfortunately, had our heroes trapped inside.

"Okay," said Spidermon. "Nobody move. I'm guessing that if anyone touches a light strand, all those spheres will blow up!"

"Right, everyone stand still." Said BlackWarGreymon.

"Yeah, as long as Infermon doesn't touch the web herself, all we have to do is stay where we are until this stuff weakens!" said Silphymon. The giant spider seemed to smile, then touched one of the light strands with a talon before flying out of harm's way. Instantly, the entire web turned red. Everyone glared at the Animal. "Me and my big mouth."

The web solidified into a glowing sphere and exploded, taking a huge chunk out of the arctic landscape. The Digimon inside were lying at the bottom of the new crater, much the worse for wear. (Except for BlackWarGreymon, due to his extremely resilient armor.) They were still Ultimates, but were obviously not up to anymore fighting. Infermon opened her mouth. "Spider-"

"Celestial Arrow!" An arrow of pure light lanced into Infermon's mouth right as the fireball was forming, causing it to explode and destroy the Control Spire Digimon's head! Infermon's skin vaporized, revealing the black Control Spire material she had been made of only seconds before she disintegrated completely.

"Who…did that?" asked Silphymon.

"I'd say she did." Said BlackWarGreymon, pointing at the blonde angel flying overhead.

MagnaAngemon weakly got to his feet. "Angewomon, long time no see!" he called up to her.

The female angel smiled down at them. "Hey guys. How are you doing?"

"Um…do we know you?" asked Spidermon.

Angewomon sighed. "I'm Gatomon. I Digivolved with Kari's Crest of Light while you guys were getting beaten up by Infermon." She paused. "Um, did Paildramon hit his head or something? Why is he drooling?"

Paildramon could not respond, seeing as how he was so smitten by Angewomon's beauty that he was drooling streams down his chest.

Silphymon looked around the crater. "Hey, here's a better question: Where's BlackWarGreymon?"

Everyone looked around. The Dinosaur was gone. They soon decided he had just flown off for the next Destiny Stone and headed back to the real world.

BlackWarGreymon punched a Control Spire, destroying it immediately. Why? He thought angrily. He kicked at another Spire, knocking it down. Why? He ran at another Spire, slashing it to pieces with his Dramon Killers. Why?! He spun into a tornado, drilling through a dozen Control Spires. Why?! He flew high into the air and started forming a gigantic Terra Destroyer, bigger than any he had ever made. "WHY MUST I BE SO EMPTY?!" he roared, hurling the energy ball at the Spire-littered ground below. It exploded, destroying everything within twenty-five miles of that spot. He fell from the sky, extremely exhausted all of a sudden. "Why…" he whispered.

The Digidestined had gone all-out on preparations for their next conflict. They had located the next Destiny Stone the night before, at the bottom of a bay. They had contacted some of their marine friends, who had gotten a whole platoon of aquatic Digimon to guard the waters around the Stone. Armadillomon had Armour Digivolved to Submarimon and taken Cody down to the depths to help the other sea animals. The rest of the Digidestined had gotten their Digimon to their Ultimate level, and were anticipating the coming battle with whatever force Arukenimon could muster. There was only one slight hole in their defenses…

"WHERE'S BLACKWARGREYMON?!" Davis screamed.

"Davis, calm down." Said TK soothingly.

"WHY THE HELL SHOULD I TA?! BLACKWARGREYMON'S NOT HERE, AND WE NEED HIM TO HELP US PROTECT THE STONE!"

"Davis, calm down." Said Kari sternly.

"Yes Kari."

Yolei rolled her eyes. "Sometimes I wonder who our real leader is, Davis or Kari."

Ken smirked. "I'm putting my money on Kari." He said as Kari pounded Davis for yelling at TK again.

Crazy, huh? Well, if you think the Digimon are acting more rational than the humans, you're dead wrong!

"Silphymon, get away from me!" said MagnaAngemon frantically as he tried to push the Animal Digimon off of him.

"Come on Angel, we both know you can't deny this forest spirit's natural appeal! Now, give me a kiss!" said Silphymon, trying to plant his lips on MagnaAngemon's mouth.

Fortunately the irate Angewomon suddenly pulled Silphymon off of the male Angel. "For the last time, MagnaAngemon is MY bitch, not yours! Go find somebody else to molest, bird-brain!" She hurled Silphymon into the sea.

MagnaAngemon started kissing her feet. "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou…"

Spidermon sighed as he watched Silphymon drag himself out of the surf and try to glomp MagnaAngemon again. "You know Paildramon, sometimes I think you and I are the only sane Digimon in this group, don't you agree?" There was no response. "Paildramon?" The Insectoid turned his head and saw his Dragon friend was nowhere to be seen. "Paildramon, where'd you go?"

Paildramon dropped from the sky next to Spidermon. "Hey Shpidermon, do you think Angewomon will like theshe flowersh?" he asked, holding out what appeared to be an entire rosebush.

Spidermon stared at the Dragon for a long moment. "Why don't you ask MagnaAngemon? Seeing as how he and Angewomon now seem to be a couple, he should know what she likes."

Paildramon dropped the flowers. "They're what?! I've gotta shtop thish! Hey MagnaAngemon, get away from my girl!" he yelled, running down the beach. Spidermon shook his head sadly.

A couple of minutes later, BlackWarGreymon landed on the beach, drawing everyone's attention immediately. "It's about time! Where were you?" demanded Davis, rubbing the sore spot where Kari had hit him.

Not wanting to reveal that after blowing up a huge chunk of the countryside to vent his anger he had felt so weak and depressed that he couldn't move for hours, the Dinosaur simply said "What does it matter to you? I'm here now, aren't I?" He surveyed the beach. "Where is the littlest of your group?"

"Cody's in the bay with Submarimon. They're guarding the Destiny Stone with a few of our friends." Explained Yolei.

"Then why has the Destiny Stone not been activated yet? He is the only one of you Digidestined who has yet to receive a crest, so logically this one is his. Why hasn't he claimed it?" asked BlackWarGreymon.

"Cody's already tried. He E-mailed us to say that the Stone reacted to his D-3, but it didn't work completely because he was trying to activate it from inside Submarimon. He's still trying to figure out how to get the Crest without drowning." Said Ken.

BlackWarGreymon nodded. "I see. And have our enemies showed themselves yet?"

"We have now!" cried a familiar voice. All looked up and saw Arukenimon and Mummymon standing atop a nearby cliff. "Hello down there! Ready to die?"

"We'll never fall to the likes of you!" said TK.

Mummymon shrugged. "We'll see about that. Hey now, attack!" At his command, an enormous army appeared. There were hundreds of Control Spire Digimon, mostly Champions, but with a few Ultimates and even a couple of Megas. They howled and raced towards the Digidestined. The six good Digimon charged the enemy forces, ready to defend the beach at all costs.

Cody switched on the radio in the submarine cockpit. "Divermon leader, see anything?"

"No sir, all's clear down here!"

"Dolphmon leader, any sightings?"

"None sir."

"Whamon, anything to report?"

"Nothing but a few fishes, sir!"

"Keep your guard up, Arukenimon might send something really nasty to attack us."

"Roger that, over and out!" The Divermon severed the link.

Cody heard a beeping noise from his pocket. He pulled out his D-Terminal and opened it, reading his E-mail. He turned the radio back on. "Attention all forces. This is Supreme Admiral Cody speaking. The battle has begun back on the surface. We must tighten our defenses. Divermon, spread out and report any unusual sightings. Dolphmon, patrol closer to the surface. MegaSeadramon and Whamon, you and I shall protect the Destiny Stone up close. Understood?"

"Aye aye sir!" All the aquatic Digimon said, severing the radio link.

"Wow Cody, since when did you know how to command troops like that?" asked Submarimon.

"Since I got hooked on campaign games on my PC." The littlest Digidestined looked out through the Plexiglass cockpit of his digital companion. The colossal Destiny Stone towered above the seabed, bigger than any other they had seen yet. The less massive Whamon and MegaSeadramon swam past his vision, taking their places around the small mountain.

"Hey Cody, do you think BlackWarGreymon's on the level with us?" asked Submarimon suddenly.

"Why do you ask?" asked Cody, surprised.

"I dunno. Just don't want him goin' berserk on us again!"

Cody thought for a moment. "No. I don't really think we should trust BlackWarGreymon."

"No?"

"No. He's a Virus Digimon. Virus Digimon are always evil, so they can't be trusted. He's already tried to kill us! Why would he just change sides like that? I honestly think he's setting us up to be slaughtered like lambs."

Submarimon rolled his eyes. "And I suppose that part of the reason you don't trust Ken either is because Wormmon is a Virus-type?"

"Yes."

"Woo boy. Cody, remind me to tell you about the Purification War sometime. That kind of racism almost destroyed the Digiworld thousands of years ago!"

Just then, the radio flickered on. "Admiral! Admiral! We've spotted something!" said a Divermon.

"What? What is it?" asked Cody frantically.

"It's-it's horrible! It's taking out my squad as we speak! It's heavily armored and dangerous! Oh no…it's spotted me! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH-" the radio cut off.

Cody quickly switched frequencies. "Dolphmon squad 2, come in! Do you read me?" Nothing. "Squad 2, come in!" Still nothing. "Oh no…we only had one squad of Divermon and one squad of Dolphmon! I think we're in trouble…"

"Cody, something's coming!" said Submarimon urgently.

Cody looked up from the dashboard and saw a huge sea monster swimming towards them. It looked like Seadramon, but much bigger! It had gray skin, purple hair, two tail ends, and was covered in gold armor, with a knife-shaped horn and a cannon for a nose. "What is that thing?"

DIGIMON ANALYSER

Submarimon: That's MetalSeadramon, a water dwelling Android Digimon who just happens to be Seadramon's Mega form. He rules the seas with an iron tail and his River of Power attack!

Cody turned the radio back on. "MegaSeadramon, Whamon, stop that Android! We can't let him destroy the Destiny Stone!"

"Right!" chorused the sea dragon and the whale.

Whamon swam forward at top speed, trying to ram the metal serpent. MetalSeadramon slithered out of harm's way and wrapped his coils around the whale, constricting him. MegaSeadramon's horn started crackling with electricity. "Thunder Javelin!" A blue lightning bolt knifed through the water towards the Android. The bolt struck MetalSeadramon's horn, sending a current down his metal body. It was quickly apparent that MetalSeadramon's armor was shockproof. It was equally apparent that Whamon was not. The poor whale was deleted instantly by the powerful electric current.

MetalSeadramon lazily looked at his lower-leveled counterpart and opened his mouth. "Giga Ice Blast!" A huge blast of ice shot from the serpent's mouth.

MegaSeadramon quickly opened his mouth as well. "Mega Ice Blast!" A significantly smaller ice blast shot from his mouth.

The two blasts converged, struggling to overcome each other. MegaSeadramon's attack was swiftly engulfed by the Mega's ice, and the poor Ultimate Digimon was frozen solid. With that distraction out of the way, MetalSeadramon turned his attention to the Destiny Stone. Blue particles started to gather in his nose cannon. "River of Power!" At that second, Submarimon slammed into the Android's head, causing his incredible blue laser to just barely miss the stone. Angrily, the serpent turned its head, ready to crush the insolent submarine.

Submarimon was able to dodge MetalSeadramon's sudden lunge, and aimed for the Android's eyes. "Submarine Attack!" Little projectiles were launched from his barbed harpoon nose, hitting the dragon's left eye.

MetalSeadramon hissed in pain and swam away. As Submarimon started to give chase, the Android doubled back. "Giga Ice Blast!" Revving his engines to full throttle, Submarimon managed to dodge the ice blast. Unfortunately, MetalSeadramon was now about to use his ultimate attack. "River of-"

"Oxygen Torpedo!" A pair of missiles formed of compressed oxygen launched from Submarimon's torpedo tubes. They struck the energy mass in MetalSeadramon's snout, exploding and engulfing the Androids head in an explosion. "All right, we did it!" said Submarimon happily.

"Uh, Submarimon? Don't be so sure…" said Cody.

MetalSeadramon didn't look even slightly damaged by the explosion. His cannon seemed to be insulated against explosions, which had possibly saved the Android's false life. "Dangnabit, I thought that would work!" The dragon lunged, ensnaring Submarimon in his coils before he could escape. The false Android then started constricting, crushing the poor submarine.

The cockpit started to crack, and water began seeping in. Cody frantically started to compose an E-mail, but some of the water splashed on his D-Terminal, shorting it out. He started to whimper, knowing that if he wasn't rescued soon, he would die in a watery grave.

"Black Tornado!" The Machinedramon never saw it coming and was deleted instantly. BlackWarGreymon came out of his spin and hurled an energy ball at a swarm of Snimon. There were still quite a few Control Spire Digimon to go, though. He was about to confront a group of Okuwamon when he felt a sudden pain in his chest. In an instant, BlackWarGreymon knew that Cody was in danger. The human…he is trapped! If I don't do something, he might very well die! Without any explanation as to how, BlackWarGreymon knew exactly what to do.

Landing on the ground, he ran towards where the water met the sand, slicing apart any Digimon who got in his way. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see his…teammates battling the rest of the army. He couldn't concern himself with them right now, Cody was dying! He stopped at the edge of the beach, letting the waves roll over his feet. Blocking out the sounds of fighting behind him, he concentrated, trying to access his mystic link to the Destiny Stones. "Stone of Destiny…ancient guardian…lend me the power to save the brave human and Digimon in your waters!"

After a long, tense moment, a voice in the Dinosaur's head said Granted.

Mentally thanking the stone, BlackWarGreymon focused. He started to glow, attracting attention from all over the battlefield. Instead of attacking, the construct Digimon found themselves waiting to see what would happen. The Dinosaur clasped his hands together, stretching his arms straight out. With a roar, he flung his arms apart.

And just as the Red Sea parted for Moses, the waters of the bay split open at the behest of BlackWarGreymon. The Destiny Stone, along with MetalSeadramon and the captive Submarimon were revealed. BlackWarGreymon stopped glowing and ran down into the rift. There was a long silence. "Well, what are you all waiting for? Go after him!" Arukenimon finally managed to bellow. The constructs roared and ran (or flew) into the liquid fissure, leaving a group of very surprised and confused Digidestined behind.

The sudden exposure to air startled MetalSeadramon so much that he dropped Submarimon onto the sea floor. The submarine hit the ground and instantly de-digivolved to Armadillomon, with Cody on top of him. "Ow...what happened?" asked the armadillo.

"I have no idea." Said Cody honestly. MetalSeadramon took notice of them again, hissed, and started to charge his River of Power attack. "Uh oh!"

"Black Tornado!" A dark blur whizzed past, driving right through MetalSeadramon' head and out the other side. The Android's skin shattered, and then it vaporized. BlackWarGreymon landed in front of the astonished Cody. "You are Iori Hida, correct?" Cody nodded, a little scared. "Come with me. I will take you to the Destiny Stone." He extended a hand. Cody took a step back. "Is something wrong?"

"…No. Thank you for saving me from MetalSeadramon, but I can get there myself." Said Cody firmly.

BlackWarGreymon was about to argue, but the battle cries of the few hundred remaining Control Spire Digimon coming towards them caught his attention. "If you are going yourself, then leave now! I will hold them off until you can get the crest." BlackWarGreymon ran towards the approaching army. Up at the top of the fissure, the other Digidestined and Digimon joined the battle as well, followed by the uneasy Arukenimon and Mummymon.

Cody held out his D-3. "Okay Armadillomon, let's go!"

"Armadillomon Armour Digivolve to…Digmon, the Drill of Knowledge!"

"Didn't it used to be the Drill of Power?"

"Yeah, but I changed it so I'd sound smarter, remember?"

"Oh yeah…" Cody climbed onto the Insectoid's shell. Digmon's wings flared and he took off.

A few minutes later, the bug landed on the big holy ring encircling the Destiny Stone. "Okay Cody, let's get this over with! I wanna join the others and show them how cool my Ultimate form is gonna be! I bet I'm gonna be something awesome, like WarAnkylomon, or maybe Sephirothmon, or maybe…" As Digmon de-digivolved and continued babbling about what he would Digivolve to, Cody shook his head in amusement and pointed his D-3 at the Destiny Stone.

A Megadramon noticed Cody and Armadillomon standing on the holy ring. Sifting through its not-too-bright brain, the Dark Dragon realized they were Digidestined.

It was programmed to kill Digidestined.

"Darkside Attack!" The dragon's metal claws unfolded, launching a dozen missiles at the Destiny Stone.

A second later the construct was deleted by BlackWarGreymon, who then noticed the missiles streaking towards the Stone. He flew after them.

A tag and crest materialized in front of Cody. The Crest was gray, with the symbol of a six-pointed star inside of three concentric circle engraved in it. He grabbed both items and began to slide the crest into the tag.

That's when Megadramon's missiles struck. Since Cody had extracted the crest just a few seconds before, the missiles did no damage to the now-invincible rock. Unfortunately, one of the missiles hit the holy ring, causing Cody and Armadillomon to lose their balance and fall off. Screaming, Cody lost his grip on the crest, and it fell above him as he plummeted downward. The small boy closed his eyes, anticipating a gruesome impact…and was surprised to feel metal. Opening his eyes, Cody say he and Armadillomon had been caught only five feet from the ground by BlackWarGreymon. "You-you saved us!"

"Where is the Crest?" asked the Dinosaur. The small plastic slide fell right down on them, bouncing off of Armadillomon's shell and landing in Cody's hands. "Never mind."

The Mega dropped to the ground, putting down the boy and Digimon. "Why did you save us?" asked Cody, still in shock.

BlackWarGreymon hesitated. "To tell the truth, I don't know. It just seemed…like the right thing to do." He looked over his shoulder. "There are still a good number of Control Spire Digimon. Quickly, use the Crest of Wisdom so we can join the battle!" Cody nodded and inserted the crest into the tag.

"Armadillomon Digivolve to…Ankylomon!"

(Cue digivolution sequence)

The D-3 rumbled and fired a blast at the Crest of Wisdom. An emblem of the crest launched from the tag, spinning and twirling up and up past blue-green rainfall. At the peak of its flight it stopped, spun faster, and fired a data stream downward, striking Ankylomon on a platform of rock. "Ankylomon Digivolve to…" The Dinosaur curled into a ball and sprung high into the air, vanishing in a twinkle. A second later, something HUGE slammed down in a nondescript area with lots of bells and crosses. He was made completely of silver and gold metal, except for two white wings on his back. His legs were egg-shaped with two gold bands, and in lieu of feet he had a pair of gold nozzles, like a rocket. His lower body was basically a big metal skirt covered almost completely in gold except for the front, where a golden sun with a Yin-Yang symbol was embossed. His waist was thin, with gold studs on it. His torso was an oval with a blue jewel in the center and a few gold designs. His shoulders were round balls with red stones on the front. His arms had no joints, going straight down and ending in very small three-clawed hands. He had a small gold neck supporting a big oval head with handle-like ears, an expressionless hole for a mouth, immobile slitted bulges for eyes, a blue jewel on his forehead, and a gold top with a domed pillar that had a cross coming out of the top. The colossus posed for the camera." Shakkoumon!"

(End Digivolution sequence.)

Shakkoumon was big, and I mean BIG. He was approximately the size of the Destiny Stone, towering over all other Digimon in the fight. "Well Cody, how do I look?" asked the humongous Mutant Digimon.

Cody sweatdropped. "You look like a giant teapot." Shakkoumon facefaulted, causing a small but strong earthquake.

The Mutant got back on his "feet". "Yeah, well I can fight! Justice Beam!" Pink lasers shot from his eye slits, deleting a Gigadramon. "Could a teapot do that Cody? Well, could he? How about this! Kachina Bombs!" The sun symbol opened up, launching several bladed disks that destroyed an Okuwamon. "And there's more where that came from! I'll show you I'm no teapot! Chaaaaarrrrrrge!" Shakkoumon levitated (seeing as how he had no actual feet) towards the false Digimon. Cody and BlackWarGreymon sweatdropped and ran after him.

After a quick and violent battle (Made more so by Shakkoumon's frequent outbursts about not being a teapot) all the Control Spire Digimon had been deleted, leaving only the Digidestined, their six Ultimates, BlackWarGreymon, and the nefarious duo of Arukenimon and Mummymon. "You have two choice: You can either fight and die, or you can surrender. Which is it?" said TK.

Arukenimon surprised everyone by laughing. "Fools! I still have my secret weapon! My most powerful Digimon ever, created from five hundred Control Spire Digimon, is preparing to attack you from the rear!"

Everyone instantly whirled around to see…nothing. They turned around again and saw that Arukenimon and Mummymon had disappeared. "I can't believe I fell for the oldest trick in the book!" whined Davis.

"I can believe you fell for it, but I don't believe we fell for it!" moaned Yolei.

BlackWarGreymon started to walk away. "Well, I'd better get going. See you all at the next Destiny Stone."

"Wait!" said Cody. BlackWarGreymon turned around. "I want to thank you…and apologize. I thought you were trying to trick us into activating the Destiny Stones for some nefarious purpose, but I see I was wrong. To make up for it…well, do you think we can be friends?"

The Dinosaur was startled. "You want to be friends…with me?" Cody nodded. "But…why?"

"You helped us all get our crests, that's why!" said Davis.

"You showed me the necessity of sacrificing one life to save many." Said Yolei.

"You walked down the same path of redemption that I have." Said Ken.

"You saved our lives so many times now that you're almost one of our own Digimon." Said TK.

"You proved to me that I can't judge Digimon by their type." Said Cody.

"So, in closing, you've done so much for us Digidestined it's only fair that you really become one of our group. Do you think that we could be your friends?" asked Kari.

BlackWarGreymon was stunned. He didn't know what to do. Finally, he said, "All of you…want to be my friends?" They nodded. "Then…look out, Arukenimon and Mummymon!"

Everyone turned around, seeing…absolutely nothing. They turned back and saw BlackWarGreymon was gone. "I can't believe we fell for the oldest trick in the book twice in a row!" complained Davis.

"By the way, the answer's yes!" yelled BlackWarGreymon from a nearby cliff. As they all looked up to see him, he gave a hearty wave, then ran off.

BlackWarGreymon was experiencing something he had never felt before.

Happiness. For the first time in his short life, he was actually happy.

It was a good feeling. I never thought I could feel this way! Thought BlackWarGreymon as he walked through a field of flowers. I feel…so exuberant, ecstatic! What was that word Ken used? Oh yes, I feel quite gay right now! He picked a flower and sniffed it. Ah, bliss! So this is what it's like to have friends and be happy! I hope this emotion lasts, I could grow quite used to it. Carefully putting the flower down, BlackWarGreymon continued on his way. He couldn't resist skipping a little as he walked.

At last, BlackWarGreymon has discovered happiness. But the story's not over yet! There's still one Destiny Stone left, who will receive its crest? Find out on the next Digimon, Digital Monsters!

Another chapter done! This may be hard to believe, but we're almost done with the story. I hope you've enjoyed my first venture into Digimon fanfiction so far, and I also hope there will be more stories to come. Now for some fanmail.

HVK, thanks for the Zim keychain and the doorbell.

See you next time!

BWG: I feel so happy, I may not try to kill the author anymore! Please review!
