[Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!!" plays]

Shamanmon's Revelation! Who is the Destined Warrior?

Far from where Tai and his team had encountered the mysterious dragon, a village was teeming with many digimon. There seemed to be some kind of fair. Shops were open and dance performances were being displayed.

Walking amongst the digimon crowd was Takuya's team. He and JP easily remembered this area. This is the village where they first meet Shamanmon and uncovered Takuya's beast spirit.

"Doesn't this bring back memories, Taky?" JP asked.

"How could I ever forget this place? This is where we met Shamanmon and uncovered my beast spirit. I'll never forget when I lost complete control."

"It wasn't you're fault and you know it."

"My brother told me about that incident," Kouichi said. "How did you manage to overcome the beast?"

"It was thanks to Tommy. His pleas made me realize what I had done. If it wasn't for him, I'd probably destroy everything that comes my way."

"That was the past, Taky. Controlling our beast spirits now should be a cake walk. Speaking of cake, I haven't had a single bite to eat since we left."

Kari, Davis and Keke were astonished by the number of digimon contained in one village. Veemon turns and finds other Veemons gathered in a saloon.

"Take a look at that, Davish! It's me, me, me and me."

"Whoa, am I tripping or what?"

"You're not alone, Veemon," Gatomon muttered.

The feline digimon points out to another Gatomon watching a dance performance. Kari slightly chuckled.

"At least you're not the only Gatomon in the Digiverse."

"Which makes it even scarier, but none of them pack the wallop I can dish out."

"Wow, so many digimon," Keke said. "I wish I could find a partner for myself."

"So, what are we here for, Takuya? Are we here to take a tour?" Davis asked. "And please tell us that it's munch time! I'm starving."

"First things first, we have to go see Shamanmon. He can probably provide us some clues about these Black Digicores," Takuya said.

"And just who is the heck is this Shamanmon?" the curious blue dragon asked.

"He's the best fortune teller in this village, plus I freed him from my beast spirit. I think we can provide us some form of revelation behind these digicores," Takuya added.

"Fortune telling, huh? Here I thought that stuff was baloney," Gatomon said.

"This whole village is basically a fortune teller's paradise," said JP.

"Hello there, friend," a Vademon calls out to Davis.

"What? Can't you see we're busy here?"

"Don't you want to know what the future lies ahead for you?"

"Um, sure…"

"We're here on an assignment, Davis," Kari said. "Let's get going."

"Aww, but I wanted my fortune told."

"Fortune telling is nonsense. At least, most of it."

"There it is, guys!" Takuya points out to an ancient temple on top of a hill. "I see Shamanmon has done some redecorating."

"Whoa. This is Shamanmon's temple?" Keke asked. "Something tells me this fortune teller will be the real deal."

"Trust me. He knows his stuff."

Takuya leads the group through a long row of steps towards the temple. After crossing every other step, they found themselves standing outside a massive door.

"Would you care to do the honors?" Kouichi asked.

"Ok."

With that said, Takuya walks to the gigantic doors and slowly pushes them open. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew across their faces and left them freezing out of their wits. As soon as they walked inside the temple, they felt a strong aura emitting from the holy chambers. It was indescribable as if they were entering the holy grounds of a church. Everyone, excluding Takuya and JP, were astonished at the mosaics surrounding the sides of the temple.

"Whoa. I'd never thought I'd see a temple in the middle of a village." Davis said. "It reminds me of those gothic churches in Europe."

"Since when did you go to Europe?" Kari asked.

"I didn't. I watched a documentary on TV. It was a pretty good feature."

"Davish sure learns a lot from television, doesn't he?" Veemon remarked.

"Well it does beat going to school. I really miss the ol' days. How about you, Kari?"

"Yeah…"

"Shamanmon. Are you here?" Takuya calls out. "It's me Takuya. Remember the kid who saved you from the beast spirit?"

"I don't think he's here, Taky. I think we better go get something to eat first," JP said. "He should be back once we're done."

"I suppose."

"You weren't planning on leaving without saying goodbye, were you?" a rough voice calls out.

The group turns to find a short, goblin-like troll with dark, green skin, a semi-medieval outfit, and orange hair streaked on top of his head.

"Greetings, old friends."

"Shamanmon! It's really good to see you again," Takuya said. "How have things been going?"

"Well, as you can see, my temple has been repaired. I am very grateful that you kids defeated Cherubimon and Lucemon."

"It's all in a day's work," JP said.

Shamanmon turns and finds a group of people he has never seen before. Kari, Keke, Davis and Kouichi had their eyes on the shaman digimon.

"Who might these be? New friends?"

"Yeah. This boy with the blue hair is Kouji's brother. Do you remember Kouji?"

"Yes, this is his brother? How come I haven't seen you before?"

"It's a long story, Shamanmon. Plus, we're here to ask you an important question."

"I'm sorry for being rude. We're a group of heroes from another Digital World in the Eastern Quadrant," said Kari. "My name is Hikari Kamiya and this is my digimon partner, Gatomon."

"Call me Davis Motomiya. No autographs please. This blue little guy is my partner, Veemon."

"I'm Kyoke Ishida, but you can just call me Keke. I'm just tagging along with these two."

Shamanmon took a closer look at the three and examined their inner ki. His widened as he felt a really strong ki emitting from both Kari and Gatomon.

"I sense a great power within you, young lady."

"Oh that. I can explain…"

"Are you the Destined Warrior?!"

"Huh?!"

"Hold on a minute, Shamanmon," Takuya calls out. "What do you mean Destined Warrior?"

"Out of this whole group standing within my chambers, this girl contains the strongest inner power."

"But she's no Legendary Warrior," JP said. "What makes you think she has the strongest inner strength?"

"The flames have already told me about what this girl is capable of. So, you received the mystic training from Gosenzomon?"

"What? You know?"

"Yes, I can see it all. Before hand, you were the one who transcended using Amazing Grace, a rare trait found amongst digital kind."

"But she's only human," Takuya said.

"No, she's a hybrid. The flames have told me that she and this Gatomon are able to merge into an ultimate warrior of speed and strength. The Gosenzomon training was the final test to awaken her sleeping powers."

"Well, I do take after my brother," Kari said. "But it's been years since Gatomon and I have been in our Mystic Celesta form."

"Is that so? Well, it looks as if that form will be necessary to use again."

"What do you mean?" Davis asked. "Is there something out there that's strong enough to take a fusion warrior?"

"Tell me. Are you aware of the legend of the Mystical Dragon?"

"Mystical Dragon?" everyone asked in unison.

"Yes. This Mystical Dragon has been dormant on this world for many eons and has not been awakened… until now."

"What awoke this beast?" Gatomon said.

"You're own allies have awoken the beast after finding the first Black Digicore."

"Whoa! They've got the first digicore! We're on a role now!" Davis exclaimed.

"But at the same time, they have awoken the Mystical Dragon. It is angry and will not rest until it seizes back the four digicores you have taken."

"What's the big deal? Why does this dragon need the black digicores?"

"To ensure it's survival. Without the cores, it will surely perish. There is a strong link between the two. If you were to take them, then the dragon will have no choice but battle you in order to reclaim them. Few individuals have shown courage by snaring these Black Digicores, but were ultimately destroyed by the dragon in the end. No one has been capable of defeating the dragon."

"So, is this dragon a digimon or what?" Keke asked.

"Nobody really knows. No one knows about it's true origins lie. The only important detail I know is that this world has been it's sleeping grounds for many eons."

"Ophanimon told us these digicores were originally a last resort in destroying Lucemon," Takuya said.

"Yes and Lucemon would have surely perished if the cores were used correctly. The only flaw behind these cores is the fact that they have been corrupted by darkness since their creation. If the cores are used to summon a wish, then the cores must be returned to their original location. If they are not returned within a year's time, the planet which the wish was used from these cores will be destroyed."

"We're aware of that," Kari said. "X and Shintomon informed us before we came here."

"All we have to do is gather them and fight this dragon," Kouichi said.

"It won't be easy, because only the Destined Warrior can fight the Mystical Dragon."

"Which means I have to fight this dragon?" Kari added. "Man, why am I the one to get mixed up in this mess?"

"Well, at least you'll give this dragon a thrashing," Davis said. "Don't tell me you've lost you're will to fight?"

"No, not at all. I just haven't fought in my Mystic Celesta form. It's been almost five years and I've been standing time being a mother of two."

"That doesn't mean you should just hang up the boots. Remember, you kicked Virus to the curb and helped us down the D-Reaper," Veemon said.

"C'mon, Kari. I'm willing to fight again if you're capable to," Gatomon replied. "Remember what Tai said…"

"A Kamiya never quits. I never said I was a quitter, but I'm just worried how much weaker I've become since I haven't trained in my fusion form. I don't want any defects to affect my form."

"Defects? What made you think that?" Takuya said.

"It's nothing really. Don't worry. I'm up for this dragon. I know what I must do."

"Tell us, Shamanmon. Do you know the location of the second Black Digicore?" Kouichi asked. "Since Tai's group has one, we ought to go find the second one."

"The second digicore is nearby."

"Really? So where exactly is it?" JP replied.

Shamanmon walks towards the mosaic windows and opens it to reveal a beautiful mountain scenery. The shaman troll points out towards a floating island.

"Hmmm, now where have I seen this before?" JP points out.

"The digicore is on that floating island?" Takuya asked.

"Yes and I have some bad news. The Mystical Dragon is heading it's way over to the island. It's urgent that you must get there before the dragon does."

"Don't you worry, Shamanmon. We'll beat that dragon up and take that digicore," said Davis. "Right, Veemon?"

"If things get ugly, we'll just digivolve straight to Imperialdramon."

"Besides, Agunimon and Beetlemon will provide help," said Takuya. "Right?"

"You got it."

"Well, what the heck are we doing standing around like idiots for? Let's go get that digicore!" Keke exclaimed.

"Goodluck, my friends. Time is of essence."

With that said, the group heads out through the door where they've entered. Takuya led them up down the meadow where the floating island stood above nearly one hundred and seventy feet in the air. On second thought, it would be further up as high as the heavens above. There was exact calucation of the island's altitude.

"Whoa, now that's what I call high," Davis remarked.

"Don't worry, Davish. Imperialdramon can surely get up there in a jip."

"Or Paildramon."

"Hey, Keke. Can you fly?" Gatomon asked.

"Yep."

With that said, the little girl uses levitation to float up from the ground. Takuya, JP and Kouichi were shocked by Keke's levitation technique.

"Whoa! How the heck is she able to do that?" Takuya asked.

"Oh we forgot to tell you. Keke is a hybrid children. She's part human, part digital. Her father is a hybrid warrior named Metalla X. Since he has the levitation technique, Keke has inherited that."

"Ok, you've lost me," JP said.

"Don't worry. We'll explain everything for another time," Kari said. "We've got a digicore to grab. Unless you're anxious to become dragon food."

"All right, guys! There's no use wasting time! Digivolve now!"

[Play Spirit Evolution theme "With the Will"]

Takuya, Kouichi, and JP held out their D-Tectors. Then they scanned their hands through their D-Scanner to unleash their evolution powers.

"Execute!! Spirit Evolution!!" the boys exclaimed.

First, Takuya evolved into a warrior with pyro-colored armor with yellow shaggy hair and a pair of horns sticking out of his head. He jumps down and unleashes a wave of fire from his fists. The warrior finally shouts out his name.

"Agnimon!"

JP evolved into a beetle-like warrior with dark, metallic blue armor and a rather bulky body. A stag-like shape appeared on his head. His fists became charged with electricity and then he smashes them together. As a result, he sends out a wave of electricity throughout his body.

"Beetlemon!"

Kouichi's clothes were ripped away and his body became digital. He was then infused with the body armor of his human spirit evolved form. In place of Kouichi is a body equipped with black armor, spikes on his shins, a slight yellow mane around his head, and a lion's face embedded on his chest. There is a slight human distinction on his face and he comes down with a shield and battle staff. He cries out while standing in an infamous pose.

"Lowemon!!"

["With the Will" fades in the background]

Everyone were astonished by the spirit evolution JP and Takuya had pulled off. Keke was stunned beyond belief.

"Ah, that sort of brings back memories of Omega X," Kari said. "That was pretty impressive guys."

"Now let us veterans show you how it's done," Davis said. "Let's show 'em, Veemon!"

"Right!"

[Play "Target Akai Shougeki"]

Davis' D-3 activates and gives soft a ray of light. The light engulfs Veemon and allows the rookie to digivolve into his champion level form.

"Veemon shinka!!"

Veemon's short body started to transform. He grew bigger as large pairs of wings appeared on his back. A large horn appeared on the tip of his nose. His claws and teeth got larger as well.

"Xveemon!!"

"You're turn, Gatomon!"

"I'm ready to go!"

Kari's D-3 activates and it emitted a ray of pink light. That very same light engulfs Gatomon and she starts to evolve into her ultimate level form. Her body became human in appearance with long blonde hair coming down her back, with a pair of wings sprouting from her back. A helmet covers the top portion of her face and scantily clad wear covered parts of her semi-naked body.

"Gatomon shinka!! Angewomon!!"

["Target Akai Shougeki" ends]

"So how do you like that?" Davis asked. "Impressed."

"I'd never thought we see adults with digimon. It's crazy to even see it happen," Beetlemon said.

"Let's go you guys. We don't have time to waste. The Mystical Dragon could very well show up any…"

With that said, Lowemon jinxed himself as thunderous roars were heard echoing throughout the heavens. The group looked up to find a massive dragon with five heads eyeing down the floating island.

"Thanks for jinxing us, dude!" Davis said. "Ok, guys! We have to beat that dragon to the punch!"

"Let's move out!"

Since Agunimon lacked the ability of flight, he hops on Xveemon alongside Davis. Lowemon passengers with Beetlemon. Angewomon follows ahead with Kari held tightly on her back. Keke tagged along by her flight technique. The dragon was soaring near towards the island. It knows about the second digicore's whereabouts.

"There it is!" Keke calls out.

"Damn! Now that's what I call a Mystical Dragon!" Agunimon cries.

"Let's get around to the other side and snatch the digicore from there," Beetlemon suggested.

"But it's still going to detect the digicore's location. Remember what Shamanmon told us," Kari said. "They've both linked."

"Don't worry, Kari. We'll take it from here. Xveemon. You and Agunimon find that digicore as hard as you can. Go now!"

"You got it, Davis!"

The group finally lands on the island and watches the two digimon rush through the forest foliage. Agunimon was running ahead with Xveemon watching his back. The warrior of fire attempted to sense out the core's exact location.

"Anything yet?" Xveemon asked.

"Na-da. It's like finding a needle in a haystack."

Suddenly, the dragon's roars were becoming louder and louder. This was a clear indication that the beast was drawing near.

"We better hurry and find that core," Agunimon said. "I think ol' Godzilla breath is onto us."

"Is he able to sense our ki?"

"I'm pretty sure."

After finishing their conversation, the duo rushed further down the forest in hopes of collecting the second digicore. Every time the dragon released a roar, they were becoming a little more antsy than usual. Just then, Agunimon catches a glimpse of a dark sphere. He looks over and points out to it.

"Hey, I think that's what we're looking for!"

"Yeah, that's it. It's black anyway."

"Let's go!"

Agunimon and Xveemon made a beeline for the black digicore. Just as they were about to reach out and grab it, a gigantic hand slams through the forest canopy and grabs the digicore. They were so close to getting it.

"We almost had it!" Xveemon exclaimed.

"We're not giving it up without a fight! All right, hot head! It's time to play fire with fire!!"

Agunimon spins around to form a twirling fire tornado that engulfs him. He then unleashed it upon the dragon's dry skin.

"Pyro Tornado!!"

The dragon cries out with bloody rage as parts of his skin was scorched from Agunimon's fire technique. Xveemon was next to take his shot.

"V-Laser!!"

The dragon digimon unleashes a laser beam from his chest and it struck head on with the center dragon's head.

"I think that should stun him for a bit," said Xveemon. "Now all we have to do is grab the digicore before he revives himself."

"Easier said than done."

Xveemon and Agunimon charged in to grab the digicore, but the Mystical Dragon saw them coming. It unleashed a massive wave of flames from all five heads. The dup moved away as the flames were starting to engulf the forest.

"If he keeps this up, this island is going to become a floating inferno!" Xveemon exclaimed.

"I can't risk using anymore of my fire techniques," Agunimon replied. "We could use a little help by now…"

Just then, a barrage of blasts came shooting out from the other side of the forest and struck the dragon head on. Agunimon and Xveemon easily recognized these attacks.

"Whoa! Thanks Beetlemon! Loweemon!" Agunimon calls out.

"Just in the nick of time, Angewomon!" said Xveemon.

"Hey don't forget me!" Keke's voice was heard from the background.

The other members of the group appeared before the dragon in battle stances. The mystical beast shook off every effect the blasts created.

"That thing isn't even giving in!" Beetlemon exclaimed. "Let's try this again! Thunder Fist!!"

Beetlemon strikes the dragon head on with a devastating fist blow. The dragon was reeling back from the charging blow from the warrior of thunder. Lowemon follows it up with a powerful blast from his lion chest mouth.

"Shadow Meteor!!"

The dark energy blast struck the beast and it seemed to have caused a bit more damage than Beetlemon's Thunder Fist. Next up was Angewomon as she waves her hands in a rapid pace. She then cups them together and summons forth one of her own custom techniques.

"Holy-"

With that said, she then unleashes a massive wave of holy energy.

"Beam!!"

The Mystical Dragon took the massive blow head on and was easily sent flying towards the heavens. Everyone astonished by the ultimate's attack.

"She managed to get it off it's feet!" Agunimon exclaimed. "Unreal!"

"Yep, she's been battling foes a lot tougher than this dragon," Keke said. "You should been there to see her in her prime."

"I wish I could have seen it," Beetlemon said. "Wait, I do remember seeing a warrior similar to that Angewomon battling some creep named Virus. I was only a baby then, but I could never forget that face."

"You're right. That was me and Angewomon fused as Celesta X," explained Kari. "We were in our absolute prime then."

"Um, can we leave conversations for later? I think that hot head is coming right back and he looks pretty pissed off," Davis calls out.

"I'm up for another round!" Xveemon said.

However, the dragon paused and looks down upon the group. The digimon halted their next set of attacks and eyed down the beast. The Mystical Dragon turns it's attention over to Angewomon and Kari. The young woman stood her ground and never took her eyes off the dragon.

"So, it's after me isn't it? Shamanmon did say I was the destined warrior to defeat this dragon. I'm going to have to fight it now? Well, I'm ready. I'm not going to back down. I've been in tighter spots than this."

However, much to everyone's surprise, the Mystical Dragon releases it's grip on the digicore and drops it to the ground. The digimon were just as surprised as the humans were. The dragon tilted it's head as if it were testing the group.

"Kari? You care to do the honors?" Agunimon asked.

The woman responds with a nod and walks over to pick the black digicore up. She looks up at the Mystical Dragon, while not taking her eyes off of it.

"We'll eventually meet, Mystical Dragon. Be prepared."

The five-headed beast growls under it's breath and flies out into the heavens above. Just like it's first confrontation with Tai's group, the dragon has retreated for another day. It most likely was going to seek out the location of the third digicore.

"Well, that was fun," Xveemon said. "I was expecting more bloodshed."

"No kidding," Davis snapped. "Hey, come back here! We're not finished with you!"

"Yeah! You no good coward! You might as well put you're tail between you're legs!" Agunimon calls out.

Kari gazes down on the miniature size of the digicore. Her face straightens into a smile and a slight giggle.

"We've got the second one. Now we both have a digicore in our separate groups. All we need is two more to go."

"I just hope we run into that dragon again," Davis said. "He owes us a rematch!"

"I sure hope Max is doing well," Keke sighed. "I can't stand being away from him."

"Hey, don't forget that kid is with his dad," Agunimon said. "He'll be just fine. Right, guys?"

Everyone else nodded in agreement, which only managed to bring a smile on the girl's face.

****************************************************************************************

As soon as the party was ready to set off on their journey for the last two digicores, Kari looks out towards the sunset horizon with the digicore in her grasp. The wind blew against her hair. She brushes it to the side and couldn't take the Mystical Dragon off of her mind.

"Kari! We're leaving now!" Davis calls out.

"Huh?"

"Are you ok?"

"Mmhmm. I'm fine."

"Want us to wait?" Takuya asked.

"You guys go on ahead. Xveemon and I will catch up with ya'll."

"Suit yourself. Let's move out guys!"

With that said, everyone excluding Davis and Veemon flew out towards the horizon. Davis turns to face Kari. The brown-haired woman had a look of near disdain crossed her face.

"What's wrong, Kari?"

"Nothing. I'm just thinking about TK."

"Ah, you don't have to worry about him. I'm sure he's hacing a blast with Tike and Kara."

"Easier for you to say."

"Well, at least you've got a nice guy for a husband. My wife can be… Well, I love her to death, but she can get on my ass like white on rice."

"No surprise there. She's not one of those who wants to be regarded as a weakling."

"Are you saying you're a weakling? C'mon, you saved our world! You're the one who sent Virus into obvilion."

"I know…"

"This Mystical Dragon shouldn't be that hard to beat. You can just fusion evolve into Celesta X and send him packing!"

"There's something you don't know, Davis. That monster didn't contain an evil ki."

"What?"

"You can call me crazy but Angewomon just told me that dragon has no malice in it's heart. It's only merely doing whatever it takes to protect the digicores. It's sort of like a mother and her children. If we were to take them away, she'll become saddened in despair. Eventually I will have to fight his dragon."

"And you can't bring yourself to killing it?"

"No, because it's never committed any ruthless acts. I can't bring myself to kill a living creature."

"What if it's a digimon?"

"Even Shamanmon is unaware of it's origins. I simply want to defeat it and claim the digicores. This is going to be a very tough decision."

"Just do whatever makes you comfortable. We'll support you no matter what kind of a decision you make."

"Thanks, Davis. Wow, he's really grown up. I wonder how Sonja managed to change him so much."

"Let's go, Xveemon. We don't want to keep them waiting."

"Right! Hop on guys!"

Kari walks over to Xveemon and hopped on his back. She places the black digicore in her pocket and keeps it well hidden.

Takuya's group has successfully gained the second digicore. Can they reunite with Tai's group in time to find the third digicore? And what's the deal with Kari? Will she eventually confront the Mystical Dragon?

Coral: Well, our good ol' author is taking a nap. SSJ4T has announced that he will have little time to write these chapters, but he will do his best. On other news, he's planning on writing the Digimon Fusion special involving the original Digi-Destined's battles with Burizalor. You might have remembered the villain mentioning them during the Burizalor Saga. Well, SSJ4T has just announced he would be working on that plus the alternate future fic involving Dimitri and the artificials. These chapters should be out sometime this month and will continue through February. He also plans on rewriting the first two Mutalior movie fics. What, that's a crap load of stories. Well, that's it for now. Hopefully we'll get the next chapter to the Pharaohmon fic. Peace!
