"So, it is agreed?" asked Cody.
"Yes," said TK, "We will split into groups and try to find BlackWarGreyMon, before he does any damage."
"But don't provoke him," added Yolie.
"So, who are the groups going to be?" asked Willis.
"I'm going with Kari!" Davis yelled. Everyone's eye turned to him because of his outburst.
"We should be in four groups of three," commented Ken as he counted the number of people.
"I hope three people is enough," muttered Joe.
"You worry too much," said Gomamon.
"You say that every day," protested Joe.
"And it is true every day," joked Gomamon.
"I can take Sora and Matt," said Tai as he moved closer to his two best friends.
"We want to keep as many DNA-digivolving partners together as possible," added Izzy.
"So, Ken, would you want to go with us?" asked Kari, as she motioned to herself and Davis.
"Huff!" protested TK.
"OK," agreed Ken.
"Willis, TK, and I can be a group," suggested Cody.
"That leaves Izzy, Joe, Yolie, and I," said Mimi.
"Ummmm," blushed Joe.
"What is it now?" asked Gomamon, "You are turning all red Joe."
"So, what are we going to do if we find him?" asked Biyomon.
"We try to reason with him," said Kari.
"With only three or four of us, we don't exactly want to get into a fight," added Gatomon.
"We could just all stick together," stammered Joe.
"I think BlackWarGreyMon would feel like we were coming after him if we did that," pointed-out Hawkmon.
"Monsters can't feel anything," muttered TK.
"So, where exactly are we going?" asked Armadillomon.
"I'd like to know where Agumon is," muttered Tai, still looking around.
"Here I am!" exclaimed Agumon, from the back of the group.
"Agumon! Where did you disappear to?" asked Tai.
"Um," he stammered, "I went for a walk."
"Now?" asked Palmon.
"Well, yes," said Agumon, still looking for a plausible excuse.
"You have been with Tai too long. You are starting to talk like him," teased Gabumon.
"I'm hungry," Veemon said, out of nowhere.
"How can you be hungry!? You just ate half an hour ago," protested Davis.
"Another perfect pair," snickered Terriermon.
"I agree, brother," added Lopmon.
"What was that?!" demanded Davis, spinning around.
"Nothing," the twin digimon answered together.
"Can we get back on track?" asked Yolie.
"I think two groups should go into the forest," said Tentomon, formulating plans. "One group can go around, in case he left. The last group can stay in this area."
"Sound good to me," agreed Tai.
"So, which group should go where?" asked Wormmon.
"My group can head in," volunteered Tai.
"So will mine," said TK.
"I think Davis' group would be a better choice," said Willis.
"We'd be willing to go," agreed Veemon. The others nodded in agreement.
"We'll go the long way," said Izzy, "That is the longest area to cover, and there is more of us."
"Fine," said Tai.
"Cody, Willis, TK, you guys are staying in this general area, got it?" asked Matt.
"But," protested TK.
"Everyone ready?" asked Hawkmon.
"Let's go!" cheered Biyomon. The groups began to split up.
"Veemon, I'll race you!" exclaimed Davis as he took off.
"No fair! You had a head start!" protested Veemon as he pursued his best friend.
"Boys," muttered Kari as her and Gatomon raced to keep up. Ken and Wormmon had to do the same.
"Biyomon digivovled to ...... Birdramon!" Biymon declared as she digivolved.
"Let's go!" said Sora as she climbed on Birdramon's back.
"Girls," muttered Tai, "Come on Agumon." The two off them, with Matt and Gabumon followed the flyers.
"We'd better get started," said Izzy.
"We have a long way to go," added Tentomon.
"I really hope nothing thinks that we would make a nice snack," gulped Joe.
"Where's your sense of adventure?" teased Gomamon.
"I'll show you a sense of adventure!" yelled Joe as he dived after the seal- like digimon. Gomamon easily evaded him, though.
"Come on Joe," said Mimi, impatiently.
"Oh, yes," stammered Joe, turning red again.
"You're right," said Palmon to Gomamon, "Is he sick or something?"
"Don't know, he's just being Joe," answered Gomamon.
"Are we going to leave or spend all day talking" asked Yolie. She was already several yards ahead, with Hawkmon hovering over her shoulder.
The remaining three watched as they left.
"Now what?" asked Armadillomon.
"We wait," replied Cody.
"Why did they make us stay here?" asked Patamon.
"Because TK is getting too emotional," answered Terriermon.
"I am not!" exclaimed TK.
"Actually, yes you are," said Lopmon, coming to his brother's defense.
"Don't fight," said Cody, trying to maintain the peace.
"None of you seem to realize the threat," argued TK, "Evil will destroy everything we have worked for. It will destroy everything we care for."
"In all honesty, BlackWarGreyMon never destroyed anything like that," pointed out Willis, "Mostly he destroyed really mean digimon, and buildings and such."
"Well, excluding the Destiny Stones," reminded Cody.
"Say that when everyone you care for is gone," snapped TK.
"Is this still about the time Devimon and I fought?" asked Patamon.
"I almost lost you then," said TK, calming down. "I won't let it happen again. And I won't let anyone else go through that."
"Well," said Lopmon to Terriermon, "At least he has good motives."
"I remember when I thought that I had lost both of my digimon," said Willis, "It was probably the worst feeling in the world."
"We've had some close calls to, right Armadillomon?" said Cody.
"Right," agreed the yellow digimon.
"Then why should we not do whatever is in our power to stop that from happening ever again?" asked TK.
"You can't right every wrong in the world," Willis pointed-out.
"I need to take a walk to clear my head," said TK, wandering off. Patamon flapped his ears and followed him.
"Is it smart to let him go alone?" asked Cody.
"He does need to clear his head," said Armadillomon.
"He'll be able to take care of himself," said Willis.
**************************************************************************
"Why can't they see it?" TK asked himself, "I will not risk the lives of my friends. I will not let that happen again."
*Flashback*
A younger version of TK, wearing green everything, was looking up at his digimon. Tears were streaming down the boy's face as he watch his digimon slowly break into data.
"Be brave, TK," said the slowly dying digimon.
"No, Angemon! Don't leave me!" exclaimed TK through sobs.
"Be brave," said Angemon, and then he was gone.
"NO! ANGEMON!" cried TK.
*End Flashback*
"I cannot let that happen again," thought TK, "I will not let my friends die because one psychopath is determined to destroy everything in sight. I will not let the Digital World suffer. Why can't anyone see that BlackWarGreyMon almost destroyed both worlds? They tried to talk things out before with no result. Why do they think that it is going to be any different this time? There is a time for action, and we can't wait until it is too late."
"TK, you are being awfully quiet," said Patamon, "Are you OK?"
"I don't want to see anyone get hurt because we were too afraid to do anything," the blond haired boy muttered.
"I can see your point," said Patamon, "But try to see theirs. They don't want anyone to get hurt, even BlackWarGreyMon."
"I hope we are not making any mistakes that we will have to pay for later," said TK.
They stopped walking and looked around. The forest was a considerable way back. Nearby was a sheer drop-off, with a narrow goats' trail leading to the bottom, where there was a narrow creek. (AN/ I know there are probably no goats in the Digital World, work with me. It is a narrow trail.)
"We should head back," said Patamon.
"Huh? Sure," said TK. At that moment his digivice began to beep like craze.
"What is it?" asked Patamon.
"There is some unusual reading coming from nearby," said TK as he examined the image on his digivice. "Let's check it out."
"Shouldn't you tell the others?" asked Patamon.
"I'll send a message over the D-terminal," said TK. He quickly typed his message, then took the small trail to the bottom.
They looked around for anything unusual. This was a little pointless, because everything is unusual in the Digital World.
"False alarm?" asked Patamon.
"I don't think so," muttered TK, cautiously.
Just then a horned shadow fell across them. TK and Patamon slowly turned around.
Directly behind them was the being they had been looking for. BlackWarGreyMon stood behind them. TK jumped in surprise, but stood his ground. Patamon landed on his hat. BlackWarGreyMon stood there a minute. The he moved on, completely ignoring the digi-destined and his digimon.
"I can't let you pass," declared TK, bravely. There was no time for him to send an e-mail to his friends. He was alone.
"Go away and leave me in peace," BlackWarGreyMon said gruffly while he continued to walk.
"I can't, not if you are going to hurt others," said TK. "Get ready Patamon."
"Are you sure about this TK?" asked Patamon. BlackWarGreyMon glared briefly at TK before moving on.
"I will not let the innocent suffer because of you," declared TK.
"I have no quarrel with you. Leave me alone," said BlackWarGreyMon. He was thinking, "That is the only answer I do have. I am destined to be alone."
"Patamon let's go!" ordered TK.
"Patamon digivolved to...... Angemon," said Patamon as he digivolved. Angemon flew down and met BlackWarGreyMon.
"If fighting is what you want, so be it," growled the control spire digimon. "Black Tornado!" BlackWarGreyMon made the first move, transforming his entire body into a vortex of death.
"Hand of Fate!" countered Angemon. His attack ricocheted harmlessly off of the dark digimon. BlackWarGreyMon struck, sending Angemon into the dirt.
"Angemon!" cried TK as he saw his digimon take damage.
"I am fine," said Angemon as he struggled up.
"So you haven't had enough? Terra Destroyer!" yelled BlackWarGreyMon as he created a giant orb of dark energy and threw it at Angemon.
"Hand of Fate!" countered Angemon. The two attacks collided in mid-air and exploded! Out-of-control energies flooded the canyon. BlackWarGreyMon and Angemon both were hurt by this.
"Angemon!" coughed TK through the dust. "Are you OK?"
"Hand of Fate!" yelled Angemon again, attacking BlackWarGreyMon before the dust had cleared. The attack was direct. BlackWarGreyMon grunted in pain as his chest felt like it was on fire.
"Terra Destroyer!" yelled BlackWarGreyMon, enraged. He blew through Angemon. Angemon hit the ground and didn't move.
"No! Angemon!" cried TK. His digivice began to glow. Angemon began to glow with a strange light.
"Angemon digivolved to....... MagnaAngemon!" declared Angemon as he digivolved to his ultimate level.
"The Gate of Destiny!" yelled MagnaAngemon as he attacked immediately. A large portal opened behind BlackWarGreyMon, ready to seal him away, forever.
"Never!" yelled BlackWarGreyMon. "Even though I am not allowed to find my answers and my purpose I will not be defeated by you. Black Tornado!" He once again began to tear up the landscape with his deadly assault.
MagnaAngemon stood in his path and grabbed his claws as he spun around. MagnaAngemon then threw BlackWarGreyMon down, close the glowing gate. BlackWarGreyMon shoved back and suddenly the two digimon were in a struggle, each trying to over power the other.
"You can do it, MagnaAngemon!" encourage TK. But with surprising cunning, BlackWarGreyMon lashed out with his clawed feet. MagnaAngemon pulled back, gasping for air.
"Terra Destroyer!" yelled BlackWarGreyMon as he attacked again. MagnaAngemon was caught in the blast.
"AAGGHHHH!" he cried out in pain as he collapsed to the ground. He glowed for a second, then de-digivolved to Patamon. BlackWarGreyMon looked down at his helpless foe. In the past he wouldn't have hesitated to wipe him out. But instead BlackWarGreyMon walked off.
"Patamon! Patamon, speak to me!" cried TK as he raced down the slope. He cradled his injured digimon in his arms. Luckily, all of Patamon's injuries were minor. He'd recover shortly.
**************************************************************************** ****
"Some things never change," thought BlackWarGreyMon as he left. "They will always see me as a creature of destruction. Maybe they are right. Maybe I am fooling myself by thinking I had a second chance. Maybe I am fooling myself by thinking I had a chance at all."
**************************************************************************** ****
"Yes," said TK, "We will split into groups and try to find BlackWarGreyMon, before he does any damage."
"But don't provoke him," added Yolie.
"So, who are the groups going to be?" asked Willis.

"We could just all stick together," stammered Joe.

"Monsters can't feel anything," muttered TK.
"So, where exactly are we going?" asked Armadillomon.
"I'd like to know where Agumon is," muttered Tai, still looking around.
"Here I am!" exclaimed Agumon, from the back of the group.
"Agumon! Where did you disappear to?" asked Tai.
"Um," he stammered, "I went for a walk."
"Now?" asked Palmon.
"Well, yes," said Agumon, still looking for a plausible excuse.
"You have been with Tai too long. You are starting to talk like him," teased Gabumon.

"Boys," muttered Kari as her and Gatomon raced to keep up. Ken and Wormmon had to do the same.
"Biyomon digivovled to ...... Birdramon!" Biymon declared as she digivolved.
"Let's go!" said Sora as she climbed on Birdramon's back.
"Girls," muttered Tai, "Come on Agumon." The two off them, with Matt and Gabumon followed the flyers.
"We'd better get started," said Izzy.
"We have a long way to go," added Tentomon.
"I really hope nothing thinks that we would make a nice snack," gulped Joe.
