[b]Author's Note:[/b]
This is the third part of the Guardian Quest 5-parter. This fic should be
reminiscent of a very favored fic of mine in the past... DTE! That fic will
be up on FFN eventually.
Now here's an interesting question: "Why are there two Davis's?! And two Izzy's?!"
Well, here's my answer. DTE is a reality that is an alternate path from Adventure 01/02. So it makes sense for there to be alternate versions of the two characters. And besides, they are the best Digidestened! So don't complain!
ALSO, let it be known that Tentomon in this reality can go to Mega. And Veemon can go to Mega without the use of DNA Digivolving.
Also, this chapter takes place during the time when DTE was riding the Warship Apocalypse in the black void. If you don't understand, you can skip this chapter, it's not crucial to the plot.
Heroes No More, Chapter Twenty-Nine:
Guardian Quest, Part Three: Digidestened Team Extreme
-------------------------------
Kiriban Server:
Now, we've seen this before. Twenty beams of light sprouted on a grimy, metal floor.
The first two formed into Chris and Cybermon. The next ones were Izzy and Tentomon, followed by Kayla and Knellmon. Then there was Carrie and Kovimon, Amy and Oceanmon, Sarah and BlackAgumon, Seth and Boltmon and finally Davis and Veemon. The last four lights had problems uploading the data, like always.
"Whoa, what's up with that?", asked Chris. Carrie shrugged and looked at Izzy.
"Well...", started Izzy. "The main power core of the Server is used to re- uploading our basic digital forms and data. Information from another Server takes a while to process, so the core must squeeze it through, but of course, there is some difficulty."
Chris and Carrie stared at Izzy blankly.
"Izzy... in English?", asked Tentomon.
"They're having problems uploading.", sighed Izzy. "My intelligence is wasted on you people."
The four extra forms turned out to be Allison, Octopimon, Lee and Kokuwamon. The four of them walked around dizzily, trying to get their bearings after the bumpy trip.
"Okay... now that we're all here... let's establish WHERE we are...", said Amy, looking around. "This place look familiar to you guys?"
"It does... but I can't place my finger on it...", said Sarah. Everyone looked at Izzy again.
"Oh, for the love of...", began Izzy, but then he stopped and pulled out his pineapple laptop.
"Gah. I hate computers.", said Sarah. Izzy began typing away at the computer as the DTE members crowded around. Allison and Lee finally came to.
"Wooo... that was quite the ride...", groaned Lee.
"Are you joking?", asked Allison. "I feel like I've been through the ringer."
Allison looked around and noticed that she and Lee were the only Chosen who appeared in this world. She considered it to be blind luck.
(Oh boy... I don't like that sneaky look on her face...) thought Lee.
"Okay, Allison, we have to make one thing clear.", said Lee.
"What?"
"We are on a mission. If we don't find the Guardian, we are screwed. I don't have time for you and your crap right now, okay?", said Lee, trying to make his point. Allison did not take the information all too well.
"H-how can you call my feelings for you crap?!", she asked, with mixed emotions.
"Because! I have a girlfriend! Alex! And as long as I am with her, I don't want you hitting on-- no, let me rephrase that. I don't want you near me!", shouted Lee.
"Lee...", said Kokuwamon softly, prodding at his leg. Lee ignored him. Allison looked like she was about to cry, but composed herself and turned and calmly walked away. Octopimon floated after her. Davis and Chris strolled over to Lee.
"Trouble with the lady, eh Lee?", asked Davis.
"Oh, shut up, Davis. Like you have a perfect female situation.", muttered Lee.
"Hey! Amy loves me! Don't you, honey?", shouted Davis. His answer was a shoe flying into his face. Chris slapped his forehead. Suddenly, Lee's communicator began beeping wildly.
"Where'd this come from?", asked Lee, studying it as he pulled it out of his pocket. He shrugged and turned it on.
"Hey Lee! You arrive alright!?", asked Kevin's voice, over the communicator.
"Yeah. We got here just fine.", replied Lee.
"Alright. Well, the laptop says that your Guardian is actually one of the DTE Chosen children! Should narrow down your search. But... you won't be able to tell which one for a few hours when the Guardians power awakens.", said Kevin.
Chris and Davis looked at each other, pointed at each other and then shook their heads after hearing this news.
"So all we have to do is sit here for a few hours? That sounds easy enough.", said Lee.
"No way, Lee!", shouted Kevin, over the communicator. "Your world has the highest Shadow rating out of all of them! You're going to be in for the fight of your life. And you had better fight good, because Kiriban Server is hanging on by a thread! Kevin out."
"Hanging on...", started Davis.
"...by a thread?", finished a shocked Chris.
"Crap. It's never easy.", said Lee, putting the communicator back in his pocket. Suddenly, it was Izzy's turn to shout in surprise.
"We're here!?", gasped Izzy.
"Here... where is here?", asked Lee, baffled.
"We're on the Warship Apocalypse!!", yelled Izzy. All the DTE members gasped.
"That's impossible!", said Carrie. "It exploded! Are you sure that's right?"
"Sure as shootin.", replied Izzy. "And that isn't all the bad news..."
"It isn't?", asked Amy. Izzy shook his head and turned back to some monitor screens on his laptop.
"We're in the middle of the dimensional void between Servers! Though close to our own Server.", explained Izzy. "Anyhoo, we're the last part OF Kiriban Server! If this Warship is destroyed, the server goes with it!"
"Oh, greaaaat.", said Sarah sarcastically. "So to save our world, we have to protect the warship that NecroMyotismon threatened to destroy it with."
"I want no part in this.", said Seth. Everyone looked at him and Boltmon.
"Huh? Seth, come on. We don't have alot of choice here.", said Sarah. "I know we're enemies and all, but would you rather die in a dimensional explosion?"
"Yes.", replied Seth, coldly. "And Boltmon would too."
"Okay, kill yourself if you want, but don't submit your partner to that death too! Boltmon, you can stay with us.", offered Chris. Boltmon turned his head in another direction.
"I would not stay with you. You have been my enemies for nearly eight years. It is too late to turn from the path I have chosen.", said Boltmon. Chris and Sarah sighed. Seth and Boltmon turned and walked down a corridor into the main ship.
"Good luck, losers.", said Seth as they disappeared.
"....should we go after them?", asked Lee.
"No. The Apocalypse is almost the size of a city, we could get lost easily.", said Cybermon.
"Argh, that guy has something up his ass!", shouted Davis. "We could'a used his help!"
"Whatever, we don't have time to worry about it.", said Izzy. "Everyone, let's go prepare for battle."
Davis, Izzy, Carrie, Lee and Chris left the room to prepare for battle. Kayla and Amy waited for Allison.
"Allison, are you coming?", asked Amy.
"Uh... yeah. I just want to wait for the others to get ahead of us.", said Allison, quietly.
"Why?", asked Kayla. "Trouble in paradise?"
"Hah!", laughed Allison. "Unlike you two, there is no paradise. There was, but Alex stole that..."
"I see...", said Kayla, thoughtfully.
"Hey, no paradise here!", protested Amy. "Davis is any girls dream, but he's too stupid and horny for his own good. I still gotta whip him into what I'd call a boyfriend."
"Chris isn't even really capable of being a boyfriend either. It's always battle first, fiends second, me last.", sighed Kayla. "But whatever, plenty of fish in the sea. Maybe you just need to catch another one."
"Maybe...", said Allison. "Let's just go now..."
"Allison, are you sure you're alright?", asked Octopimon.
"Of course I am. Have I ever lied to you?", replied Allison. Octopimon did an eight-armed shrug, which Allison found cute.
----------------------------------
Main Control Room:
Izzy sat down in the chair and activated the main control console, which was a little dusty. Carrie leaned over his shoulder, watching him do what he does.
Lee, Chris, Davis and all the Digimon walked into another room with a huge viewing window. They looked out into the cold black void between dimensions.
"That's really freaky.", said Chris.
"Hard to believe that's what separates the Servers, eh?", asked Tentomon. "No human-made ship could ever travel through this space.
"That's what keeps the Servers separate, right?", asked Kovimon. Tentomon nodded.
"Okay, that makes sense.", said Kokuwamon. "But then how is this ship traveling through?"
"Hmmmm...", thought Tentomon. "I'm not sure, but when we traveled through here the first time, it took us to Amaterasu Server. We seem to have gone back in time somehow."
"Yeah, I noticed.", replied Chris.
"I think that's happened to everyone so far.", said Lee, looking out the window. "Back to when the Guardians were at their prime..."
"Then... who was in their prime at this time?", asked Chris.
"Me!!!", shouted Davis. "I am the Guardian!"
Davis struck a heroic pose. Everyone stared at him.
"No you're not.", said Veemon. Davis fell over. Lee sighed and pressed his fingers against the glass.
"I wonder where Alex is..."
"Who knows.", said Chris, walking over to him. "But I'm sure she's doing okay."
"Yeah, knowing her. She's pretty tough. Doesn't usually need me to take care of her...", said Lee. "Allison on the other hand, is weak. She always relies on me to help her out, ever since we were kids."
"It's her way of trying to get your attention.", said Davis. "Trust me, I KNOW how women work."
Everyone stared at Davis again.
"No you don't.", said Veemon. Davis fell over once more. Chris's eyes turned back towards the window, suddenly.
"What's wrong, Chris?", asked Cybermon.
"I don't know... I thought I saw something...", said Chris.
"Out there? I don't think so.", said Davis. "Now it's YOUR turn to be wrong!"
Suddenly, the window shattered inward, sending all the children and Digimon flying across the observation deck.
"Or maybe you're right!", gasped Davis, in shock.
"SURPRISE!!!", yelled a familiar voice. Familiar to the DTE Members, anyway. A huge, yellow Digimon leapt in through the opening. One of his arms was a large cannon and he was very translucent. He seemed to be completely energy!
"What the heck is that thing!?", asked Lee.
"Thing? I'm not a thing! I am a Digimon.", said the yellow guy. "I am BIOPHALANXMON!!!"
"BioPhalanxmon?! Oh craaaaap...", whined Chris. "We're in shit!"
"How much shit?", asked Lee.
"Enough so that we'd drown in it!", replied Chris.
"...MUST you be so graphic?", asked Tentomon. Chris shrugged.
"Well then... let's send him back outside!", yelled Lee.
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Kokuwamon!!! Digivolve to..."
Kokuwamon grew about three times his normal size. He grew huge metallic pincers, and his body became shaped like a huge four-legged bug. Two wings that resembled jet wings bursted out of his back and his eyes glew red. He was covered with ancient inscriptions of Digi-code.
"...TECKUWAGAMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
========
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"TecKuwagamon!!! Digivolve to..."
TecKuwagamon glew with energy and expanded into an even larger creature. His pincered head melded into a helmet with flowing hair coming out of the back. His back legs disappeared and he lost all his metal skin, replaced by grayish scaly skin. Two cannons formed on his forearms and a long tail extended from his lower back. He finished forming and roared out.
"...GIGADRAMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Cybermon! Digivolve to... Megamon!!!"
"Veemon! Digivolve to... ExVeemon!!!"
The three Digimon faced off against Phalanxmon. He grinned evilly.
"Three on one? That doesn't seem fair...", started Phalanxmon.
"What's your point, scum?!", asked Chris.
"I think I should invite some of my new friends!!!", screamed Phalanxmon. Suddenly, Shadow portals began to appear on the floor.
"Crap! The Shadow are here!", cursed Lee.
"Then let's take 'em down!!", yelled Davis. Two Sword Shadow appeared next to Phalanxmon. ExVeemon leapt at one and Megamon attacked the other. Gigadramon looked up at Phalanxmon.
"Great. I get the big guy.", muttered Gigadramon. Phalanxmon smirked.
"And I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Phala-Ray!!!", he screamed, firing out of his cannon. Gigadramon flew upwards to avoid the attack and looked down upon Phalanxmon.
"Buddy, you just made your first mistake.", said Gigadramon, opening his missile compartments. "GIGABYTE WING!!!"
The two missiles flew at Phalanxmon with amazing force, but simply bounced off the Mega Digimon. Lee and Gigadramon gasped.
"And you made your LAST mistake! Corpse Claw!", yelled Phalanxmon. He smashed Gigadramon and the grey dragon went flying across the room. Izzy and Carrie ran in.
"What the hell is going on here!?", asked Izzy. He saw Phalanxmon and the Shadow, then put two and two together.
"I'll go get the others! Come on, Kovimon!", said Carrie. She turned and ran the other way, with Kovimon darting after her. Izzy held up his D-3.
"Tentomon!!! Digivolve to... Kabuterimon!!!"
"That's more like it!", shouted Kabuterimon. He turned around and blasted the Sword Shadow that was attacking ExVeemon. ExVeemon slugged it and it went flying out into the void.
"Yikes... better make sure you guys stay away from there...", cautioned Lee. Gigadramon flew by with Phalanxmon running after him.
"I don't care about THERE! Just keep him away from me!!!", shouted Gigadramon. Izzy, Davis and Chris looked at each other.
"I think it's time to Junction Digivolve!", yelled Izzy. Lee looked at him.
(Oh yeah, I forgot that these three goofballs can become one HUGE Digimon! I should've remembered after we got our asses whooped by him at the nuclear facility! Then again... since he's that powerful... this will be a HUGE advantage!)
The three junction Digivolved and stood as the mighty Titanmon. He proved his power by stomping on the last Sword Shadow. He then looked at Phalanxmon, who screeched to a halt and faced him.
"Ah, Titanmon. My old friend...", hissed Phalanxmon.
"And as friends, it's customary we shake hands.", said Titanmon, talking in his hybrid voice of ExVeemon, Megamon and Kabuterimon. He bent over, revealing his cannons. "Shake. TITAN CANNON!!!
Titanmon fired the potential energy blast and Phalanxmon took the hit, seemingly on purpose!
(He must be trying to prove how strong he is...) Thought Lee. Suddenly, he noticed more Shadow portals appearing around them. "...crap."
---------------------------------
Elsewhere in the ship:
Allison, Kayla, Amy and their partners were idly wandering around, just trying to relax. Not knowing of all the fighting and destruction going on around them.
"So, Allison... if this world is hanging on by a thread... do you think we can save it?", asked Octopimon. Allison shrugged.
"I honestly don't know. But we have to find that Guardian... or al the worlds are doomed.", replied Allison. She turned to Kayla and Amy. "Do either of you have any clue which of you the Guardian is?"
"Uhm... one of us, right?", asked Kayla.
"Yeah. And the power will be awakened... uhm... well, I forget when. But you must have some idea.", said Allison.
"Hmmm... Carrie maybe... she seems to have something special about her. What with being from the future and all.", suggested Amy.
"No... maybe it's Seth!", shouted Kayla. "He fits the bill! Always isolated... never revealing anything about himself..."
"My god... you could be right!", replied Amy. Allison decided it would be best to trust them.
"Well, where is Seth?", asked Allison. "I thought he ran..."
"He did! But I can pick up his scent. I am a fox after all.", said Knellmon, sniffing the ground. "That way!"
Knellmon darted through a door, leading into another hallway. The rest followed her. As they left, Carrie and Kovimon ran into the room and looked around. Carrie scratched her head.
"I swear I heard their voices...", said Carrie, looking around.
"Maybe they died.", said Kovimon.
"Kovi, that's not funny. Cuz it could be true.", scolded Carrie. "Maybe they went this way..."
Carrie wandered into the same door the girls went into. Kovimon followed. Carrie began to run, because she knew the boys would need help and she needed to get that help.
"Kayla!!! Amy!!! Uh.. other girl!!!", shouted Carrie. "You have to-- ah!"
A Flame Shadow burst out of the ground and looked at Carrie menacingly. It hurled a fireball at her, but Kovimon jumped in the way, taking the hit!
"Kovimon!", shouted Carrie, with concern. "Get up!"
The Flame Shadow prepared another fireball attack, when suddenly, a blast of ice hit it's arm. Ice couldn't damage it, but it cancelled out the attack, at least.
"Seadramon!", shouted Carrie. "Are you an idiot? He's not your element!"
The Flame Shadow noticed this as well and leapt at Seadramon, hurling her aside. Suddenly, he was blasted with ink from behind. MegaOctopimon.
"Alright! Finish it off, Reylamon!", shouted Kayla. Reylamon leapt at the Flame Shadow, but the Flame Shadow grabber her by the legs. She screamed out as she was scorched and was thrown into MegaOctopimon!
"You guys came for me!", shouted Carrie, in amazement.
"Well, yeah. You only shout as loud as my mom.", muttered Amy, pulling out her D-3. "Shall we do it?"
"Let's.", said Carrie, grabbing her D-3 as well.
The three of their D-3's shined with light, as Allison covered her eyes, unable to watch. When she uncovered them, Knellmon, Kovimon and Seadramon had combined into one warrior. Vixidramon!
"Whoa... who's that?!", asked Allison, amazed.
"That's Vixidramon. Our Mega level junctioned Digimon.", explained Amy. "She's as powerful as Titanmon, and in a more compact size too."
Vixidramon extended a blade from her right hand and looked at the Flame Shadow. She scoffed.
"Angel Blade!", shouted Vixidramon, slicing the Flame Shadow in two. She admired her work, when suddenly, another Shadow portal appeared. This time... a Worm Shadow came out!
"Oh no!", gasped Allison. "A Worm Shadow!"
Vixidramon flew at the Worm Shadow, but it simply head butted her aside.
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"MegaOctopimon!!! Digivolve to..."
MegaOctopimon flashed with light quickly and grew a bit bigger. She gained a circular emblem on her forehead and her tentacles extended in length and became thicker!
"...ULTRAOCTOPIMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
UltraOctopimon fired her Ink Shock attack at the Worm Shadow, but it simply reflected off it's skin and hit MegaOctopimon and Vixidramon! They were both electrocuted!
"Oh no!", shouted Kayla. "This is bad!"
"Not for long!", growled Allison. "UltraOctopimon! We've seen Lee do it! Now it's our turn... we'll prove to him we're just as good as him!"
"Alright... Allison...", said UltraOctopimon, weakly.
"MEGA DIGIVOLVE!!!", commanded Allison. She and UltraOctopimon both glew with a pink light. The three girls and Vixidramon watched on. The Worm Shadow was laying dormant, as if waiting for an attack...
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"UltraOctopimon!!! Mega Digivolve to..."
UltraOctopimon had one heck of a growth spurt, nearing almost six time her original size! The eight circles on her head formed into one between her eyes, which popped open, angrily.
"...SANGAMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Whoa... I didn't expect that... she's huge!", gawked Allison. Kayla, Amy and Carrie gasped as well.
"Vixidramon is like, the size of her... head.", said Amy.
"Digivolution is amazing, ain't it?", replied Carrie.
"Sangamon! Let's attack together!", shouted Vixidramon, readying her sword.
"No... watch this.", said Sangamon. "Flood of Power!!!"
Sangamon began to concentrate her energy and glow blue. Vixidramon cocked her head at Sangamon.
"What the hell are you doing?! He's going to capitalize on your--", began Vixidramon, but she was cut off as the Worm Shadow launched a missile straight at Sangamon. Sangamon's eyes popped open.
"Water Tsunami!!!", screamed Sangamon. A huge, concentrated wave of water struck the Worm Shadow, destroying it instantly. Vixidramon's jaw dropped.
"Well, I'll be danged."
"Sangamon, you did it!!!", cheered Allison. But then they all noticed another Worm Shadow. Before anyone had a chance to react, it shot both Sangamon and Vixidramon, sending them tumbling! Right when it was about to attack the girls, Boltmon leapt down from the rafters, and using his axe, hacked the Worm Shadow in two, right through the middle.
"I can't leave you guys along for a second, can I?", asked Seth. "Worthless."
"We may be worthless, but you're the Guardian, so come on!", shouted Kayla.
"I am?", asked Seth.
"Guys! We can worry about this later! Lee and the others need our help! They're fighting Phalanxmon!", shouted Carrie.
"Phalanxmon!?", exclaimed Amy, Kayla, Seth, Boltmon and Vixidramon.
"...who?", asked Allison. They all fell over anime style.
--------------------------------------
Back on the Observation Deck:
Machinedramon and Titanmon struggled to defeat Phalanxmon, but the decade- old villain had too many tricks up his sleeve. And too many potent attacks.
"Phalanx Cannon!", screamed Phalanxmon. He blasted Machinedramon in the face and Machinedramon flew back and hit the wall. He fell onto his knees and groaned in pain. Titanmon turned and punched Phalanxmon.
"Why don't you ever go away?!", screamed Titanmon. "You're the last thing we need to worry about right now!"
"Correction. I'm the first thing!", yelled Phalanxmon. He grabbed Titanmon by the throat and hurled him to the ground a few feet away. He then pointed his cannon at Lee and the DTE boys.
"Sorry kids. Orders from Nathan to wipe out Lee Trainer and Allison Williams. Also, anyone who gets in my way.", said Phalanxmon, grinning. Lee felt something inside him break when he heard Nathan's name.
(Nathan... I allowed him to be infested by the Shadow... I should've been there for him!) Thought Lee. (But there is plenty of time to beat myself up about it later... if there is a later.)
"Phalanxmon! Why do you allow the Shadow to control you!?", shouted Lee.
"...my reasons are my own.", replied Phalanxmon.
"What did Nathan promise you?! Power? A new form?", asked Lee. Phalanxmon shook his head.
"He promised me relief from the Shadow's total takeover. I will be spared.", said Phalanxmon.
"Bullshit!", cursed Chris. "He's gonna blow up the core here!"
"It's located on this ship.", said Izzy. "I detected it earlier. If it blows up, this Server goes offline. And that includes YOU."
"Lies... you're lying!!!", screamed Phalanxmon. "Now you DIE!"
"No they don't!", shouted a voice. Phalanxmon turned to see two huge Octopus tentacles crash through the wall and slug him! He flew halfway across the room. Boltmon and Vixidramon leapt through the holes made by the tentacles and charged at Phalanxmon. Lee looked over to see Allison standing by Sangamon.
"Well... what do you know. She saved me...", said Lee. (I guess she's another person I haven't been there for... but I won't lose her like I did Nathan or James... I won't...)
"Let us attack together!", yelled Titanmon, leaping up.
"Sounds like a plan, Stan.", replied Machinedramon.
"Tomahawk Crunch!!!"
"Heaven's Lazer!!!"
"Water Tsunami!!!"
"Giga Cannon!!!"
"Titan Cannon!!!"
The five attacks crashed into Phalanxmon. He screamed in pain before falling backwards, completely unconscious. A Possess Shadow flew upwards out of him.
"I KNEW it!", shouted Izzy. "That's why he was being so irrational!"
"Well no more! Titan Cannon!", shouted Titanmon. He blasted the Possess Shadow, which deleted. All the Chosen and Digimon let out a sigh of relief.
"What do you mean by irrational, Izzy?", asked Lee. "Isn't Phalanxmon a bad guy?"
"He is evil, yes. But he is also extremely intelligent, and would listen to a good proposal only if he was completely assured it would be followed through.", explained Izzy. "In a way... you could say he's one of our greatest foes."
"So, we found the Guardian! Seth!", shouted Kayla, holding up Seth's arm. Seth grumbled and pulled his arm away from her.
"It's not Seth.", said Lee.
"What makes you so sure?", asked Allison. Lee pointed at Chris, who was emitting strange energy.
"Because it looks like Chris's dormant Guardian powers have been awakened...", said Lee. Chris, who was amazed at this, just kinda screamed in both surprise and happiness.
"So you found your Guardian... bravo. The universe is now safe.", said Amy.
"Not yet. We've still got a way to go. But you're ready for it, right Chris?", asked Lee.
"Do I even have a choice?", asked Chris. Lee just laughed.
"No."
"Well, you guys had better save the universe! Because a universe without me just wouldn't be worth living in!", shouted Davis.
"Oh please.", groaned Amy.
"And Allison, you did good work too, saving everyone.", said Izzy, smiling. Allison blushed.
"Aw, don't be shy, Ali!", said Carrie, putting her arm around Allison. "Go see your dream man!"
Carrie threw Allison into Lee, and the two of them fell over.
"Ow...", muttered Lee.
"Well, at least I'm not the Guardian. I don't think I would've been much help.", grumbled Seth.
"That's because you're a psychopathic loony who hates everyone and wants it all his way.", said Carrie.
"And don't you forget it.", said Seth.
"Hey guys... this is touching and all...", said Kayla thoughtfully. "...but where the heck is Sarah?"
"She's... uh...", stuttered Izzy. "I'm not sure..."
=========================
Megabyte Server:
"There you go, Sarah. You have now heard the way of the Shadow.", said Nathan.
"Thank you, Lord Nathan.", said Sarah, with the tendrils of a Possess Shadow sticking out of her and BlackAgumon's backs. "I shall not disappoint you."
"Good. Destroy Desiree.", commanded Nathan. "If she puts up too much of a fight... then make her the offer she won't be able to refuse..."
"Of course.", responded Sarah, before leaving. Nathan laughed.
"Desiree. Soon you will be under the Shadow's power as well. Then... then the real show begins! Ahahaahaha!"
===========================
Now here's an interesting question: "Why are there two Davis's?! And two Izzy's?!"
Well, here's my answer. DTE is a reality that is an alternate path from Adventure 01/02. So it makes sense for there to be alternate versions of the two characters. And besides, they are the best Digidestened! So don't complain!
ALSO, let it be known that Tentomon in this reality can go to Mega. And Veemon can go to Mega without the use of DNA Digivolving.
Also, this chapter takes place during the time when DTE was riding the Warship Apocalypse in the black void. If you don't understand, you can skip this chapter, it's not crucial to the plot.
Heroes No More, Chapter Twenty-Nine:
Guardian Quest, Part Three: Digidestened Team Extreme
-------------------------------
Kiriban Server:
Now, we've seen this before. Twenty beams of light sprouted on a grimy, metal floor.
The first two formed into Chris and Cybermon. The next ones were Izzy and Tentomon, followed by Kayla and Knellmon. Then there was Carrie and Kovimon, Amy and Oceanmon, Sarah and BlackAgumon, Seth and Boltmon and finally Davis and Veemon. The last four lights had problems uploading the data, like always.
"Whoa, what's up with that?", asked Chris. Carrie shrugged and looked at Izzy.
"Well...", started Izzy. "The main power core of the Server is used to re- uploading our basic digital forms and data. Information from another Server takes a while to process, so the core must squeeze it through, but of course, there is some difficulty."
Chris and Carrie stared at Izzy blankly.
"Izzy... in English?", asked Tentomon.
"They're having problems uploading.", sighed Izzy. "My intelligence is wasted on you people."
The four extra forms turned out to be Allison, Octopimon, Lee and Kokuwamon. The four of them walked around dizzily, trying to get their bearings after the bumpy trip.
"Okay... now that we're all here... let's establish WHERE we are...", said Amy, looking around. "This place look familiar to you guys?"
"It does... but I can't place my finger on it...", said Sarah. Everyone looked at Izzy again.
"Oh, for the love of...", began Izzy, but then he stopped and pulled out his pineapple laptop.
"Gah. I hate computers.", said Sarah. Izzy began typing away at the computer as the DTE members crowded around. Allison and Lee finally came to.
"Wooo... that was quite the ride...", groaned Lee.
"Are you joking?", asked Allison. "I feel like I've been through the ringer."
Allison looked around and noticed that she and Lee were the only Chosen who appeared in this world. She considered it to be blind luck.
(Oh boy... I don't like that sneaky look on her face...) thought Lee.
"Okay, Allison, we have to make one thing clear.", said Lee.
"What?"
"We are on a mission. If we don't find the Guardian, we are screwed. I don't have time for you and your crap right now, okay?", said Lee, trying to make his point. Allison did not take the information all too well.
"H-how can you call my feelings for you crap?!", she asked, with mixed emotions.
"Because! I have a girlfriend! Alex! And as long as I am with her, I don't want you hitting on-- no, let me rephrase that. I don't want you near me!", shouted Lee.
"Lee...", said Kokuwamon softly, prodding at his leg. Lee ignored him. Allison looked like she was about to cry, but composed herself and turned and calmly walked away. Octopimon floated after her. Davis and Chris strolled over to Lee.
"Trouble with the lady, eh Lee?", asked Davis.
"Oh, shut up, Davis. Like you have a perfect female situation.", muttered Lee.
"Hey! Amy loves me! Don't you, honey?", shouted Davis. His answer was a shoe flying into his face. Chris slapped his forehead. Suddenly, Lee's communicator began beeping wildly.
"Where'd this come from?", asked Lee, studying it as he pulled it out of his pocket. He shrugged and turned it on.
"Hey Lee! You arrive alright!?", asked Kevin's voice, over the communicator.
"Yeah. We got here just fine.", replied Lee.
"Alright. Well, the laptop says that your Guardian is actually one of the DTE Chosen children! Should narrow down your search. But... you won't be able to tell which one for a few hours when the Guardians power awakens.", said Kevin.
Chris and Davis looked at each other, pointed at each other and then shook their heads after hearing this news.
"So all we have to do is sit here for a few hours? That sounds easy enough.", said Lee.
"No way, Lee!", shouted Kevin, over the communicator. "Your world has the highest Shadow rating out of all of them! You're going to be in for the fight of your life. And you had better fight good, because Kiriban Server is hanging on by a thread! Kevin out."
"Hanging on...", started Davis.
"...by a thread?", finished a shocked Chris.
"Crap. It's never easy.", said Lee, putting the communicator back in his pocket. Suddenly, it was Izzy's turn to shout in surprise.
"We're here!?", gasped Izzy.
"Here... where is here?", asked Lee, baffled.
"We're on the Warship Apocalypse!!", yelled Izzy. All the DTE members gasped.
"That's impossible!", said Carrie. "It exploded! Are you sure that's right?"
"Sure as shootin.", replied Izzy. "And that isn't all the bad news..."
"It isn't?", asked Amy. Izzy shook his head and turned back to some monitor screens on his laptop.
"We're in the middle of the dimensional void between Servers! Though close to our own Server.", explained Izzy. "Anyhoo, we're the last part OF Kiriban Server! If this Warship is destroyed, the server goes with it!"
"Oh, greaaaat.", said Sarah sarcastically. "So to save our world, we have to protect the warship that NecroMyotismon threatened to destroy it with."
"I want no part in this.", said Seth. Everyone looked at him and Boltmon.
"Huh? Seth, come on. We don't have alot of choice here.", said Sarah. "I know we're enemies and all, but would you rather die in a dimensional explosion?"
"Yes.", replied Seth, coldly. "And Boltmon would too."
"Okay, kill yourself if you want, but don't submit your partner to that death too! Boltmon, you can stay with us.", offered Chris. Boltmon turned his head in another direction.
"I would not stay with you. You have been my enemies for nearly eight years. It is too late to turn from the path I have chosen.", said Boltmon. Chris and Sarah sighed. Seth and Boltmon turned and walked down a corridor into the main ship.
"Good luck, losers.", said Seth as they disappeared.
"....should we go after them?", asked Lee.
"No. The Apocalypse is almost the size of a city, we could get lost easily.", said Cybermon.
"Argh, that guy has something up his ass!", shouted Davis. "We could'a used his help!"
"Whatever, we don't have time to worry about it.", said Izzy. "Everyone, let's go prepare for battle."
Davis, Izzy, Carrie, Lee and Chris left the room to prepare for battle. Kayla and Amy waited for Allison.
"Allison, are you coming?", asked Amy.
"Uh... yeah. I just want to wait for the others to get ahead of us.", said Allison, quietly.
"Why?", asked Kayla. "Trouble in paradise?"
"Hah!", laughed Allison. "Unlike you two, there is no paradise. There was, but Alex stole that..."
"I see...", said Kayla, thoughtfully.
"Hey, no paradise here!", protested Amy. "Davis is any girls dream, but he's too stupid and horny for his own good. I still gotta whip him into what I'd call a boyfriend."
"Chris isn't even really capable of being a boyfriend either. It's always battle first, fiends second, me last.", sighed Kayla. "But whatever, plenty of fish in the sea. Maybe you just need to catch another one."
"Maybe...", said Allison. "Let's just go now..."
"Allison, are you sure you're alright?", asked Octopimon.
"Of course I am. Have I ever lied to you?", replied Allison. Octopimon did an eight-armed shrug, which Allison found cute.
----------------------------------
Main Control Room:
Izzy sat down in the chair and activated the main control console, which was a little dusty. Carrie leaned over his shoulder, watching him do what he does.
Lee, Chris, Davis and all the Digimon walked into another room with a huge viewing window. They looked out into the cold black void between dimensions.
"That's really freaky.", said Chris.
"Hard to believe that's what separates the Servers, eh?", asked Tentomon. "No human-made ship could ever travel through this space.
"That's what keeps the Servers separate, right?", asked Kovimon. Tentomon nodded.
"Okay, that makes sense.", said Kokuwamon. "But then how is this ship traveling through?"
"Hmmmm...", thought Tentomon. "I'm not sure, but when we traveled through here the first time, it took us to Amaterasu Server. We seem to have gone back in time somehow."
"Yeah, I noticed.", replied Chris.
"I think that's happened to everyone so far.", said Lee, looking out the window. "Back to when the Guardians were at their prime..."
"Then... who was in their prime at this time?", asked Chris.
"Me!!!", shouted Davis. "I am the Guardian!"
Davis struck a heroic pose. Everyone stared at him.
"No you're not.", said Veemon. Davis fell over. Lee sighed and pressed his fingers against the glass.
"I wonder where Alex is..."
"Who knows.", said Chris, walking over to him. "But I'm sure she's doing okay."
"Yeah, knowing her. She's pretty tough. Doesn't usually need me to take care of her...", said Lee. "Allison on the other hand, is weak. She always relies on me to help her out, ever since we were kids."
"It's her way of trying to get your attention.", said Davis. "Trust me, I KNOW how women work."
Everyone stared at Davis again.
"No you don't.", said Veemon. Davis fell over once more. Chris's eyes turned back towards the window, suddenly.
"What's wrong, Chris?", asked Cybermon.
"I don't know... I thought I saw something...", said Chris.
"Out there? I don't think so.", said Davis. "Now it's YOUR turn to be wrong!"
Suddenly, the window shattered inward, sending all the children and Digimon flying across the observation deck.
"Or maybe you're right!", gasped Davis, in shock.
"SURPRISE!!!", yelled a familiar voice. Familiar to the DTE Members, anyway. A huge, yellow Digimon leapt in through the opening. One of his arms was a large cannon and he was very translucent. He seemed to be completely energy!
"What the heck is that thing!?", asked Lee.
"Thing? I'm not a thing! I am a Digimon.", said the yellow guy. "I am BIOPHALANXMON!!!"
"BioPhalanxmon?! Oh craaaaap...", whined Chris. "We're in shit!"
"How much shit?", asked Lee.
"Enough so that we'd drown in it!", replied Chris.
"...MUST you be so graphic?", asked Tentomon. Chris shrugged.
"Well then... let's send him back outside!", yelled Lee.
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Kokuwamon!!! Digivolve to..."
Kokuwamon grew about three times his normal size. He grew huge metallic pincers, and his body became shaped like a huge four-legged bug. Two wings that resembled jet wings bursted out of his back and his eyes glew red. He was covered with ancient inscriptions of Digi-code.
"...TECKUWAGAMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
========
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"TecKuwagamon!!! Digivolve to..."
TecKuwagamon glew with energy and expanded into an even larger creature. His pincered head melded into a helmet with flowing hair coming out of the back. His back legs disappeared and he lost all his metal skin, replaced by grayish scaly skin. Two cannons formed on his forearms and a long tail extended from his lower back. He finished forming and roared out.
"...GIGADRAMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Cybermon! Digivolve to... Megamon!!!"
"Veemon! Digivolve to... ExVeemon!!!"
The three Digimon faced off against Phalanxmon. He grinned evilly.
"Three on one? That doesn't seem fair...", started Phalanxmon.
"What's your point, scum?!", asked Chris.
"I think I should invite some of my new friends!!!", screamed Phalanxmon. Suddenly, Shadow portals began to appear on the floor.
"Crap! The Shadow are here!", cursed Lee.
"Then let's take 'em down!!", yelled Davis. Two Sword Shadow appeared next to Phalanxmon. ExVeemon leapt at one and Megamon attacked the other. Gigadramon looked up at Phalanxmon.
"Great. I get the big guy.", muttered Gigadramon. Phalanxmon smirked.
"And I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Phala-Ray!!!", he screamed, firing out of his cannon. Gigadramon flew upwards to avoid the attack and looked down upon Phalanxmon.
"Buddy, you just made your first mistake.", said Gigadramon, opening his missile compartments. "GIGABYTE WING!!!"
The two missiles flew at Phalanxmon with amazing force, but simply bounced off the Mega Digimon. Lee and Gigadramon gasped.
"And you made your LAST mistake! Corpse Claw!", yelled Phalanxmon. He smashed Gigadramon and the grey dragon went flying across the room. Izzy and Carrie ran in.
"What the hell is going on here!?", asked Izzy. He saw Phalanxmon and the Shadow, then put two and two together.
"I'll go get the others! Come on, Kovimon!", said Carrie. She turned and ran the other way, with Kovimon darting after her. Izzy held up his D-3.
"Tentomon!!! Digivolve to... Kabuterimon!!!"
"That's more like it!", shouted Kabuterimon. He turned around and blasted the Sword Shadow that was attacking ExVeemon. ExVeemon slugged it and it went flying out into the void.
"Yikes... better make sure you guys stay away from there...", cautioned Lee. Gigadramon flew by with Phalanxmon running after him.
"I don't care about THERE! Just keep him away from me!!!", shouted Gigadramon. Izzy, Davis and Chris looked at each other.
"I think it's time to Junction Digivolve!", yelled Izzy. Lee looked at him.
(Oh yeah, I forgot that these three goofballs can become one HUGE Digimon! I should've remembered after we got our asses whooped by him at the nuclear facility! Then again... since he's that powerful... this will be a HUGE advantage!)
The three junction Digivolved and stood as the mighty Titanmon. He proved his power by stomping on the last Sword Shadow. He then looked at Phalanxmon, who screeched to a halt and faced him.
"Ah, Titanmon. My old friend...", hissed Phalanxmon.
"And as friends, it's customary we shake hands.", said Titanmon, talking in his hybrid voice of ExVeemon, Megamon and Kabuterimon. He bent over, revealing his cannons. "Shake. TITAN CANNON!!!
Titanmon fired the potential energy blast and Phalanxmon took the hit, seemingly on purpose!
(He must be trying to prove how strong he is...) Thought Lee. Suddenly, he noticed more Shadow portals appearing around them. "...crap."
---------------------------------
Elsewhere in the ship:
Allison, Kayla, Amy and their partners were idly wandering around, just trying to relax. Not knowing of all the fighting and destruction going on around them.
"So, Allison... if this world is hanging on by a thread... do you think we can save it?", asked Octopimon. Allison shrugged.
"I honestly don't know. But we have to find that Guardian... or al the worlds are doomed.", replied Allison. She turned to Kayla and Amy. "Do either of you have any clue which of you the Guardian is?"
"Uhm... one of us, right?", asked Kayla.
"Yeah. And the power will be awakened... uhm... well, I forget when. But you must have some idea.", said Allison.
"Hmmm... Carrie maybe... she seems to have something special about her. What with being from the future and all.", suggested Amy.
"No... maybe it's Seth!", shouted Kayla. "He fits the bill! Always isolated... never revealing anything about himself..."
"My god... you could be right!", replied Amy. Allison decided it would be best to trust them.
"Well, where is Seth?", asked Allison. "I thought he ran..."
"He did! But I can pick up his scent. I am a fox after all.", said Knellmon, sniffing the ground. "That way!"
Knellmon darted through a door, leading into another hallway. The rest followed her. As they left, Carrie and Kovimon ran into the room and looked around. Carrie scratched her head.
"I swear I heard their voices...", said Carrie, looking around.
"Maybe they died.", said Kovimon.
"Kovi, that's not funny. Cuz it could be true.", scolded Carrie. "Maybe they went this way..."
Carrie wandered into the same door the girls went into. Kovimon followed. Carrie began to run, because she knew the boys would need help and she needed to get that help.
"Kayla!!! Amy!!! Uh.. other girl!!!", shouted Carrie. "You have to-- ah!"
A Flame Shadow burst out of the ground and looked at Carrie menacingly. It hurled a fireball at her, but Kovimon jumped in the way, taking the hit!
"Kovimon!", shouted Carrie, with concern. "Get up!"
The Flame Shadow prepared another fireball attack, when suddenly, a blast of ice hit it's arm. Ice couldn't damage it, but it cancelled out the attack, at least.
"Seadramon!", shouted Carrie. "Are you an idiot? He's not your element!"
The Flame Shadow noticed this as well and leapt at Seadramon, hurling her aside. Suddenly, he was blasted with ink from behind. MegaOctopimon.
"Alright! Finish it off, Reylamon!", shouted Kayla. Reylamon leapt at the Flame Shadow, but the Flame Shadow grabber her by the legs. She screamed out as she was scorched and was thrown into MegaOctopimon!
"You guys came for me!", shouted Carrie, in amazement.
"Well, yeah. You only shout as loud as my mom.", muttered Amy, pulling out her D-3. "Shall we do it?"
"Let's.", said Carrie, grabbing her D-3 as well.
The three of their D-3's shined with light, as Allison covered her eyes, unable to watch. When she uncovered them, Knellmon, Kovimon and Seadramon had combined into one warrior. Vixidramon!
"Whoa... who's that?!", asked Allison, amazed.
"That's Vixidramon. Our Mega level junctioned Digimon.", explained Amy. "She's as powerful as Titanmon, and in a more compact size too."
Vixidramon extended a blade from her right hand and looked at the Flame Shadow. She scoffed.
"Angel Blade!", shouted Vixidramon, slicing the Flame Shadow in two. She admired her work, when suddenly, another Shadow portal appeared. This time... a Worm Shadow came out!
"Oh no!", gasped Allison. "A Worm Shadow!"
Vixidramon flew at the Worm Shadow, but it simply head butted her aside.
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"MegaOctopimon!!! Digivolve to..."
MegaOctopimon flashed with light quickly and grew a bit bigger. She gained a circular emblem on her forehead and her tentacles extended in length and became thicker!
"...ULTRAOCTOPIMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
UltraOctopimon fired her Ink Shock attack at the Worm Shadow, but it simply reflected off it's skin and hit MegaOctopimon and Vixidramon! They were both electrocuted!
"Oh no!", shouted Kayla. "This is bad!"
"Not for long!", growled Allison. "UltraOctopimon! We've seen Lee do it! Now it's our turn... we'll prove to him we're just as good as him!"
"Alright... Allison...", said UltraOctopimon, weakly.
"MEGA DIGIVOLVE!!!", commanded Allison. She and UltraOctopimon both glew with a pink light. The three girls and Vixidramon watched on. The Worm Shadow was laying dormant, as if waiting for an attack...
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"UltraOctopimon!!! Mega Digivolve to..."
UltraOctopimon had one heck of a growth spurt, nearing almost six time her original size! The eight circles on her head formed into one between her eyes, which popped open, angrily.
"...SANGAMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Whoa... I didn't expect that... she's huge!", gawked Allison. Kayla, Amy and Carrie gasped as well.
"Vixidramon is like, the size of her... head.", said Amy.
"Digivolution is amazing, ain't it?", replied Carrie.
"Sangamon! Let's attack together!", shouted Vixidramon, readying her sword.
"No... watch this.", said Sangamon. "Flood of Power!!!"
Sangamon began to concentrate her energy and glow blue. Vixidramon cocked her head at Sangamon.
"What the hell are you doing?! He's going to capitalize on your--", began Vixidramon, but she was cut off as the Worm Shadow launched a missile straight at Sangamon. Sangamon's eyes popped open.
"Water Tsunami!!!", screamed Sangamon. A huge, concentrated wave of water struck the Worm Shadow, destroying it instantly. Vixidramon's jaw dropped.
"Well, I'll be danged."
"Sangamon, you did it!!!", cheered Allison. But then they all noticed another Worm Shadow. Before anyone had a chance to react, it shot both Sangamon and Vixidramon, sending them tumbling! Right when it was about to attack the girls, Boltmon leapt down from the rafters, and using his axe, hacked the Worm Shadow in two, right through the middle.
"I can't leave you guys along for a second, can I?", asked Seth. "Worthless."
"We may be worthless, but you're the Guardian, so come on!", shouted Kayla.
"I am?", asked Seth.
"Guys! We can worry about this later! Lee and the others need our help! They're fighting Phalanxmon!", shouted Carrie.
"Phalanxmon!?", exclaimed Amy, Kayla, Seth, Boltmon and Vixidramon.
"...who?", asked Allison. They all fell over anime style.
--------------------------------------
Back on the Observation Deck:
Machinedramon and Titanmon struggled to defeat Phalanxmon, but the decade- old villain had too many tricks up his sleeve. And too many potent attacks.
"Phalanx Cannon!", screamed Phalanxmon. He blasted Machinedramon in the face and Machinedramon flew back and hit the wall. He fell onto his knees and groaned in pain. Titanmon turned and punched Phalanxmon.
"Why don't you ever go away?!", screamed Titanmon. "You're the last thing we need to worry about right now!"
"Correction. I'm the first thing!", yelled Phalanxmon. He grabbed Titanmon by the throat and hurled him to the ground a few feet away. He then pointed his cannon at Lee and the DTE boys.
"Sorry kids. Orders from Nathan to wipe out Lee Trainer and Allison Williams. Also, anyone who gets in my way.", said Phalanxmon, grinning. Lee felt something inside him break when he heard Nathan's name.
(Nathan... I allowed him to be infested by the Shadow... I should've been there for him!) Thought Lee. (But there is plenty of time to beat myself up about it later... if there is a later.)
"Phalanxmon! Why do you allow the Shadow to control you!?", shouted Lee.
"...my reasons are my own.", replied Phalanxmon.
"What did Nathan promise you?! Power? A new form?", asked Lee. Phalanxmon shook his head.
"He promised me relief from the Shadow's total takeover. I will be spared.", said Phalanxmon.
"Bullshit!", cursed Chris. "He's gonna blow up the core here!"
"It's located on this ship.", said Izzy. "I detected it earlier. If it blows up, this Server goes offline. And that includes YOU."
"Lies... you're lying!!!", screamed Phalanxmon. "Now you DIE!"
"No they don't!", shouted a voice. Phalanxmon turned to see two huge Octopus tentacles crash through the wall and slug him! He flew halfway across the room. Boltmon and Vixidramon leapt through the holes made by the tentacles and charged at Phalanxmon. Lee looked over to see Allison standing by Sangamon.
"Well... what do you know. She saved me...", said Lee. (I guess she's another person I haven't been there for... but I won't lose her like I did Nathan or James... I won't...)
"Let us attack together!", yelled Titanmon, leaping up.
"Sounds like a plan, Stan.", replied Machinedramon.
"Tomahawk Crunch!!!"
"Heaven's Lazer!!!"
"Water Tsunami!!!"
"Giga Cannon!!!"
"Titan Cannon!!!"
The five attacks crashed into Phalanxmon. He screamed in pain before falling backwards, completely unconscious. A Possess Shadow flew upwards out of him.
"I KNEW it!", shouted Izzy. "That's why he was being so irrational!"
"Well no more! Titan Cannon!", shouted Titanmon. He blasted the Possess Shadow, which deleted. All the Chosen and Digimon let out a sigh of relief.
"What do you mean by irrational, Izzy?", asked Lee. "Isn't Phalanxmon a bad guy?"
"He is evil, yes. But he is also extremely intelligent, and would listen to a good proposal only if he was completely assured it would be followed through.", explained Izzy. "In a way... you could say he's one of our greatest foes."
"So, we found the Guardian! Seth!", shouted Kayla, holding up Seth's arm. Seth grumbled and pulled his arm away from her.
"It's not Seth.", said Lee.
"What makes you so sure?", asked Allison. Lee pointed at Chris, who was emitting strange energy.
"Because it looks like Chris's dormant Guardian powers have been awakened...", said Lee. Chris, who was amazed at this, just kinda screamed in both surprise and happiness.
"So you found your Guardian... bravo. The universe is now safe.", said Amy.
"Not yet. We've still got a way to go. But you're ready for it, right Chris?", asked Lee.
"Do I even have a choice?", asked Chris. Lee just laughed.
"No."
"Well, you guys had better save the universe! Because a universe without me just wouldn't be worth living in!", shouted Davis.
"Oh please.", groaned Amy.
"And Allison, you did good work too, saving everyone.", said Izzy, smiling. Allison blushed.
"Aw, don't be shy, Ali!", said Carrie, putting her arm around Allison. "Go see your dream man!"
Carrie threw Allison into Lee, and the two of them fell over.
"Ow...", muttered Lee.
"Well, at least I'm not the Guardian. I don't think I would've been much help.", grumbled Seth.
"That's because you're a psychopathic loony who hates everyone and wants it all his way.", said Carrie.
"And don't you forget it.", said Seth.
"Hey guys... this is touching and all...", said Kayla thoughtfully. "...but where the heck is Sarah?"
"She's... uh...", stuttered Izzy. "I'm not sure..."
=========================
Megabyte Server:
"There you go, Sarah. You have now heard the way of the Shadow.", said Nathan.
"Thank you, Lord Nathan.", said Sarah, with the tendrils of a Possess Shadow sticking out of her and BlackAgumon's backs. "I shall not disappoint you."
"Good. Destroy Desiree.", commanded Nathan. "If she puts up too much of a fight... then make her the offer she won't be able to refuse..."
"Of course.", responded Sarah, before leaving. Nathan laughed.
"Desiree. Soon you will be under the Shadow's power as well. Then... then the real show begins! Ahahaahaha!"
===========================
