Hi, I'm back with another exciting chapter!

Disclaimer: See previous chapter

Cody: Last time, Kari got her Crest after a fierce fight with Infermon. BlackWarGreymon went berserk on a field of Control Spires, thinking he had no chance of ever having a friend. When he showed up at the bay where the rest of us had found another Destiny Stone, Arukenimon attacked with a huge army! BlackWarGreymon somehow sensed when I was in danger when MetalSeadramon attacked Submarimon and parted the entire bay just to save me! He saved me again when I fell off of the Destiny Stone, and I realized you shouldn't judge a Digimon by its type. I used the Crest of Wisdom to Digivolve Ankylomon to Shakkoumon, and we destroyed the spider lady's army! BlackWarGreymon ran off, but not before agreeing to be our friend. He looked pretty happy when he flew off…

"Spinning Cutter!"

"Spinning Cutter!"

Sparks flew as blades met armor. A pair of swift blurs dashed past BlackWarGreymon, striking him repeatedly. He groaned and fell to his knees. "Stand…still…why don't you?"

The blurs stopped moving. They were identical, each a humanoid with scarves, ice skates, and bladed arms. (Sorry, but I don't have any picture so I'm not really sure what they look like.) "Ha! You dare to ask US to stand still?" one of them, a male, mocked.

"Perhaps we should educate this lout as to who we are, dear brother." Said the other one, a female.

"Yes, of course. We are the Rinkmon twins!"

DIGIMON ANALYSER

BWG: Rinkmon are swift Android Digimon with sharp blades on their arms. Their universal skates allow them to dash across any surface at close to the speed of light, making them the fastest Digimon in the world!

BlackWarGreymon slowly got back up. "The two of you are only Armors. I am a Mega. How do you expect to defeat me?"

The male laughed. "We may be a few levels below you, but even a Mega can be worn down by our speed!"

"And after all, you can't hit what you can't catch." Added the female Rinkmon.

With that, they started skating towards BlackWarGreymon, phasing in and out of his vision. He lashed out with his claws and energy balls, failing to hit them every time. They appeared for a brief moment on either side of him. "Spinning Cutter!" Moving at the speed of light, they spun around him, slashing him over and over with their blades. As he fell to his knees again, they reappeared for another second. "Quadruple Storm!" The twins accelerated again, not moving so fast that they could not be seen, but fast enough to leave behind three after-images each. As the Dinosaur struggled to get back up, the Rinkmon skated past, each real and after-image skater slashing at him. He fell again. The Rinkmon vanished from view.

BlackWarGreymon started to get up again, but his warrior's instincts stopped him. Wait! They'll just hit me again. I must use their own speed against them. It's the only thing they have going for them, if I can stop them for long enough I can delete them in one shot! Easier said than done, first the Virus would have to see them to stop them. Getting an idea, he closed his eyes, blocking out all senses except for hearing. And he listened. After a moment, he could hear the distinct sound of metal scraping on dirt, getting louder and louder. Instantly, he backflipped, opening his eyes. The two Rinkmon slammed into each other, phasing into the Dinosaur's line of sight. As the Androids moaned in pain, he formed an energy ball in his hands. "Terra Destroyer!" The twins were deleted instantly. BlackWarGreymon looked around the surrounding village. The indigenous Digimon started peeking out of their huts to see if the rampaging Rinkmon were defeated. He flew off before any thankful villagers could distract him. The ice skaters had made him late, and now he had to hurry to meet up with the Digidestined near the final Destiny Stone.

BlackWarGreymon landed in front of the entrance to what appeared to be Chinese town. The Digidestined were waiting for him. "It's about time! What took you?" asked Davis.

"I ran into a pair of extremely irritating ice skaters attacking a village and was forced to intervene." He explained.

"Ice skaters? I didn't know there were ice skaters in the Digital World." Said Kari.

"Not anymore there aren't." the Mega said. "I sense the Destiny Stone nearby. Shall we depart?"

"Yeah, let'sh go!" said Veemon. Then his stomach growled. "Right after we get shomething to eat!"

Davis laughed. "Veemon, I told you to eat lunch before we left!" That's when his stomach growled to. He laughed nervously as the little Dragon glared at him. He stopped when one by one; all the other Digidestined and Digimon's stomachs started growling.

BlackWarGreymon sweatdropped. "Let me guess, none of you ate before you came here?" They all nodded sheepishly. He sighed. "I suppose we could get something for you all to eat first. The Stone's not going anywhere." The others stared at him. "What?"

"Sorry, it's just…you always seem so serious about protecting the Stones. Aren't you worried that Mummymon and Arukenimon will get to the Stone if we're busy eating?" asked Yolei.

BlackWarGreymon shrugged. "The Stone is only a quarter of a mile from here. It won't take long to get too. And your Digimon will need to keep their strength up so they can Digivolve if our enemies have called up a truly fearsome Control Spire Digimon. Anyway, if they do start attacking the Stone, you'll know it's time to go when I start screaming in agony." They stared at him again. He groaned. "I was trying to make a joke. I see I failed. Very well, I'll just remember not to make one again."

Patamon's stomach growled again. "Ooohhh, I'm really hungry TK. Can we please get something to eat now?"

The blonde human spotted a nearby restaurant. "That place looks good, as long as nobody minds Chinese!"

"Hi, welcome to Digitamamon's Diner! May I please take your order?" asked the waiter Digimon. She was a large white dog with a long yellow tail, yellow cloud motifs on her legs and face, pointy ears, a spiky neck frill, and a single yellow horn growing from her forehead.

DIGIMON ANALYSER

Ken: Shiisamon is a Champion level Digimon with a strong sense of protectiveness and will attack any stranger invading the area she is sworn to defend. Don't worry though, her bark's worse than her bite.

The twelve Digimon and humans quickly ordered some Chinese dishes that BlackWarGreymon had, of course, never heard of. The dog somehow wrote down the orders despite her lack of prehensile digits, and finally came to BlackWarGreymon. "Would you like anything to eat, sir? And perhaps a seat?"

BlackWarGreymon shook his head. "No thank you, I'm not hungry. Nor will I ever be, for that matter. I'd sit, but I'd probably break the chair."

Shiisamon smiled. "All right then! Your orders will be ready in a few minutes. Please wait." She left to take the order to the kitchen. Soon afterwards, a Tapirmon returned with their dishes.

The kids started digging in and talking energetically, and despite his attempts to listen, BlackWarGreymon soon found his thoughts elsewhere. He was pulled back to reality when he heard Cody calling his name. "Hmm? What is it?" he asked.

"BlackWarGreymon, who do you think this last crest belongs to?" asked the youngest.

The Dinosaur pondered that. "I don't really know. It could go to anybody I suppose, though I must admit it seems a little odd for one Digidestined to get two crests."

"Well, three of us have two Digi-eggs each, so why not two crests?" suggested Yolei, after she slurped on a noodle.

Ken chewed and swallowed on some rice. "She makes a good point. Perhaps it is feasible for one Digidestined to have two crests. But we can already go to Ultimate, what would be the use of a second crest?"

"To make us go to Mega, what else?" said Wormmon. "I'd love to become a Mega! I know that I'd be CyberSpidermon, the Web Master! With my Web Surfer and E-Mail Virus attacks, I'd show those IM buddies of mine who's the boss!"

"My Mega form ish Imperialdramon, the King of all Dragonsh! I'd have a freakin' big Poshitron Lasher gun on my back that I could fly around and blasht shtuff with!" Veemon said eagerly.

Ken frowned. "Positrons are positively charged electrons that destroy any negatively charged matter (Which is essentially what our entire universe is made up of) on contact. Wouldn't this laser cannon destroy you and the entire digital world if you fired it?"

"…Ken, it'sh jusht an attack name! Ash Paildramon my attack ish Deshperado Blashter and I'm no deshperado, am I?" Veemon said.

"Ah, good point."

"I know what I'd be if this last crest goes to TK! I heard from Gennai once that MagnaAngemon can Digivolve to either Seraphimon, SlashAngemon, or Goddramon!" said Patamon.

"And I heard that I could Digivolve to either the legendary Magnadramon or the beautiful Ophanimon." Added Gatomon.

Veemon grumbled to himself. "Great, why ish it that thoshe two alwaysh have matching Digivolution linesh? It'sh not fair I tellsh ya, it'sh jusht not fair!"

Davis frowned. "Hey TM, how come Veemon's a dragon and always Digivolves into a Dragon, but Patamon's a…a…whatever he is and can Digivolve into an Angel?"

TK shrugged. "Nobody ever said Digivolution lines have to make sense, Davis."

"I would become the handsome and graceful Valkyrimon, a bird man with a little yellow falcon familiar and a mighty sword that freezes everything it touches." Said Hawkmon dreamily.

Yolei was confused. "But…valkyries are women. You're a boy."

Hawkmon coughed. "Yes, and so are sylphs, but that doesn't keep me from becoming one. I'm gay remember?"

"Oh, right."

"Hey, doesn't anyone wanna know what little ol' me would Digivolve into? Vikemon! I'd be a big, hairy Viking beast with ice breath and twin maces!" said Armadillomon with stars in his eyes.

BlackWarGreymon finally entered the conversation. "So, you're saying you Digivolve from an armadillo…"

"Yeah…"

"…To an Ankylosaurus…"

"Yeah…"

"…To a giant teapot…"

"Yeah-HEY!"

"…to a Viking?" The Dinosaur finished.

"Yeah, why?"

"Wow, and here I thought Hawkmon and Patamon's Digivolution line made no sense!"

"HEY!" Armadillomon, Hawkmon, and Patamon yelled as everyone laughed at BlackWarGreymon's joke.

At that moment, Shiisamon came over to the table with a tray covered in weird-looking lumps. She placed them on the table. "Here you go! Fortune cookies for everyone! I even got one for you, Mr. No Appetite! Enjoy!" She skipped away happily.

"Oh boy, cookies!" Armadillomon leaped on to the table and was about to inhale the cookies when Cody yanked him back.

"Now, now, Armadillomon, these cookies are for reading, not for eating. They are for everyone, not just you. Understand?" asked the young boy.

"Yes Cody." Said the armadillo shamefully.

Davis grabbed a cookie and tore it open. "'You will forever be unlucky in love and will chase the object of your affections until the day you die.' Aw man…"

Veemon snickered and opened his cookie. His face fell. "'You will forever be unlucky in love and will chashe the object of your deshire until the day you die.' Aw man…"

Yolei opened her cookie. "'You will renounce your natural talents and become a housewife.' Great. Just great."

Hawkmon grabbed a cookie. "'You shall find happiness with an Insectoid Digimon.' Hmm…" He glanced at Wormmon. The caterpillar gulped and scurried behind Ken's leg.

Cody took his cookie. "'You must learn when to lie and when to be truthful. Honesty is not always the best policy.' Interesting. Perhaps this means I will be a lawyer."

Armadillomon stuffed the cookie in his mouth and tried to eat it. He chewed it, scowled in disgust and coughed up pieces of cookie and a damp paper. "'Your appetite may be your undoing. Watch what you eat.' Now they tell me."

TK opened a cookie. "'You will find joy and release in writing. But you will never win the object of your affections if you keep wearing that stupid hat.'" TK blinked, then yanked off his hat and stuffed it in a pocket.

Patamon cracked his cookie on the table to open it up. "'It is written in the stars that angels will unite. The feline means more to you than a friend.'" He smiled at Gatomon.

Kari opened her cookie. "'Beware! Darkness approaches! If you are not careful, it will swallow you up!'" She started looking around in nervous paranoia.

Gatomon split open her cookie. "'You will find love when pigs fly.'" She grinned at Patamon. "This thing's late, I figured that out last week." He blushed.

Ken opened his cookie. "'It will take time, but you will be redeemed for your sins. But the first step down that path is to forgive yourself.'" He paused in thought. "Hmm. Wise words."

Wormmon nervously opened his cookie, wary of Hawkmon's gaze. "'You are a loyal and true friend. Others could learn from your example.' Aww…"

BlackWarGreymon opened his cookie, wondering what he would find inside. "'Your destiny is at hand! All of your questions will soon be answered.'" He gasped and dropped the cookie. "How does this slip of paper know my future?"

"It's probably nothing to worry about." Said Ken. "Fortune cookies just contain random bits of wisdom that have nothing to do with your future. What you get is the luck of the draw."

Cody shook his head. "Don't be so sure. I have learned many things from my grandfather, and among them is the wisdom of the fortune cookie. Grandfather once said that there are no coincidences, and any fortunes you can glean from a cookie are sent as messages to determine your fate. That's how he knew to marry my grandmother. He claims a fortune cookie told him to." He looked at the Dinosaur. "Your fortune indicates that your destiny, whatever it may be, will soon be fulfilled. The second part means anything you're wondering about will soon be revealed to you."

Davis interrupted. "Aw come on Cody, everyone knows this fortune cookie stuff doesn't mean anything! Look let me show you!" He grabbed another fortune cookie from the overloaded tray. "'Watch out! Your enemies are near!'" he read. He looked around. "Well, I don't see any enemies. See? This stuff doesn't mean a thing!"

At that moment, Arukenimon and Mummymon entered the restaurant, bickering about something. Davis' jaw dropped. He looked at Cody, who glared at him and said "NEVER question the cookie."

The evil Digimon noticed the heroes, yelped, and ran away. "After them!" yelled Yolei. They all got up and chased the villains outside.

Once on the street, the fiendish duo faced their enemies, converting to their Digimon forms. "Well, we came here for some soup before attacking the Destiny Stone, but we never thought we'd run into you thirteen!" said Arukenimon.

"It'll be so much fun destroying you pests once and for all!" said Mummymon.

The Digidestined held up their D-3's. Their Digimon began to Digivolve.

"Veemon Digivolve to…ExVeemon!"

"Wormmon Digivolve to…Stingmon!"

"Hawkmon Digivolve to…Aquilamon!"

"Patamon Digivolve to…Angemon!"

"Armadillomon Digivolve to…Ankylomon!"

"ExVeemon Digivolve to…Paildramon!"

"Stingmon Digivolve to…Spidermon!"

"Aquilamon Digivolve to…Silphymon!"

"Angemon Digivolve to…MagnaAngemon!"

"Ankylomon Digivolve to…Shakkoumon!"

"Gatomon Digivolve to…Angewomon!"

"You are heavily outnumbered. Do you yield, or will we have to destroy you?" asked BlackWarGreymon.

The evil ones looked at each other. "There's only one thing to do, Mummymon."

"I quite agree."

They took a deep breath, pointed behind the Digidestined and yelled "LOOK! OVER THERE!"

"Oh no, we may have fallen for that before, but we're not gonna be tricked again!" said Davis.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing, leaving my restaurant without paying for your meal?" demanded a familiar voice. The good guys whirled around to see the irate Digitamamon. "I may owe you guys for saving me from the Digimon Emperor, but that doesn't mean it's okay for you humans to run off without paying!"

"Oh…um, sorry Digitamamon, we kinda forgot…" said Yolei, scratching the back of her head.

BlackWarGreymon growled. "We don't have time for this! They're getting away!" he said, pointing to the duo as they got into their nearby getaway jeep.

"Destiny Stone ho!" they yelled as the drove past the heroes. Without a word, BlackWarGreymon bounded off after them.

The others were about to follow, but Digitamamon reminded them of his presence. "Hey! What about the cash? Running a restaurant isn't cheap you know, so pay up or you'll have to work it off!"

The kids checked their wallets and gulped. "Do you think we could give you an IOU?" Kari asked sheepishly.

BlackWarGreymon followed the jeep as it drove into the nearby bamboo forest, slashing the organic poles as they got in his way. They will not get away this time! No more mercy! Arukenimon and Mummymon will not live to see another day!

Will BlackWarGreymon fulfill this vow? Will Arukenimon and Mummymon destroy the last Destiny Stone? Who does the final crest belong to? Will Kari and the others get away without paying Digitamamon? Were the fortune cookie predictions accurate? Will I ever stop asking stupid, rhetorical questions? Find out on the next Digimon, Digital Monsters!

Okay, that was fun. Sorry to cut the chapter short. Don't worry, we're almost done with the story anyway! Here are some fanmail answers:
