Ch.3 "THE PURPOSE OF THE DARK PYRAMIDS."



"Ready?" the Digidestines with digieggs questioned their partners. They nodded.

"Digi-Armor Energize!"

"Something's wrong. Try again," Kari insisted when none of the new group's Digimon armor digivolved.

"Digi-Armor Energize!" they repeated again and again, hoping their Digimon would finally armor digivolve until the evil slaves of the emperor laughed at how they were making fools out of themselves when their Digimon attempt again and again to armor digivolve so they could fight their enemies.

"What's so funny?" Ken blurted out.

"You fool! The reason why your pathetic Digimon can't armor digivolve is because our great Emperor created these dark pyramids to transmit the special application from his D-3 that disapprove of any armor digivolving if favoured. They'll prevent any Digimon from armor digivolving in their regions," Piedmon laughed at their failure.

"So that's why the dark pyramids are here," Joe said to himself.

"Leave it to us, guys. We'll take care of them like before," Tai assured. "Our Digimon can handle them."

"Digivolve!" the older Digidestines called out and their Digimon digivolved.

"Wormmon, digivolve!" Ken ordered and his partner digivolved to Stingmon.

"How can this be?" Stingmon asked Ken.

"All of our Digimon can digivolve. The problem is that there's no armor digivolving," Izzy informed everyone.

"So, that means that we're back in business, Cody," Armadillomon said.

"Digivolve!" the rest of the gang yelled. Success, their heroic Digimon digivolved.

"Took all of you insolence long enough to figure out this simple problem," Machinedramon commented, and the battle began all over again to determine the fate of the Digital World.

After some while, the dark ring banded around Mojyamon's wrist was probably the only dark ring destroyed so far. "Don't worry, he just fainted," Cody assured Yolei and Ken. "Now let's go and help Tai and the others."

For the older Digidestines' partners, they've all de-digivolved to their rookie states. Even Angemon, Ex-veemon, and Angewomon returned to their rookie forms when she often stays in her champion form as Gatomon. It was obvious that their opponents, Piedmon and Machinedramon, were winning.

"Time to warp digivolve to mega, Agumon," Tai stated.

"You too, Gabumon," Matt added. Instantly with disruption, both of them war digivolved.

"Ready for battle," Wargraymon informed Metalgarurumon.

"Then, let's humiliate him," Metalgarurumon said, referring to Piedmon.

"Digivolve to ultimates, guys," Gomamon ordered. "Right, Joe?"

"Right! Let every one of you digivolve into your most powerful forms yet," Joe agreed and everyone nodded. When their loyal Digimon partners reached their highest forms yet, they took on Piedmon and Machinedramon. The younger kids took on Piedmon while the older kids took on Machinedramon. With Magnangemon against Piedmon again, and Wargraymon against Machinedramon again, history sort of repeated itself when the Digidestines' partners were able to destroy the new dark rings. Without the dark rings controlling the Digimon, they returned to their more peaceful routine and fainted like Mojyamon when they got rid of the dark ring around his wrist. Quickly, their Digimon allies demolished the nearest dark pyramid.

Immediately when the ex-Digimon slaves awoke, the Digidestines with their Digimon explained what happened. All three of them kindly offered their gratitude and said their goodbyes, leaving the Digidestines and their Digimon behind.



"Well, well, I think we've just been defeated. Just what I had anticipated," a figure, sitting in front of many large screens inside a large room with many buttons of control, said unemotionally. The figure appeared and sounded like a young boy though it did not appear to be Ken's long lost brother who died some years ago. What led to such a conclusion? It was the hair cut and the hair style like Ken's. Wearing a t-shirt along with long leather pants untucked from black leather shoes, and a cape, would definitely suggest it was a boy, especially when it was impossible to make out the person's face or appearance when the outfit camouflaged with the dark surroundings. It was because of the low light the screens were giving off that enabled the outfit and the hair style to been seen, but the figure's face was still a mystery when the person appeared to be wearing a mask to cover up the person's true identity.

"Should we try harder, Master?" another voice asked in the shadows.

"No, I've got them right where I want them, Partner. Go fix us some ice cream instead," the human figure answered.
