FRGT/10 [Remixed version of Forgotten] Featuring Alchemist and Chali 2NA…

Great, I'm stuck in a foreign country, just how I wanted my life to be.

How could the Digimon Soverign let evil touch this land? After all, didn't we unlock them from their prisons?

Ah, I shouldn't blame them, it wasn't their fault. They didn't know of the horror that was coming…

Or the plague that would infest this world…

Will I ever see my friends again? Or my sibling, will I ever see my sibling again? I wonder, if anything good can

come out of this…

          It was cold, cloudy afternoon in the city of Paris, France. The digital rift covered the sky above, as the clouds moved. Destruction, dust, and waste laid around the once beautiful city. Fallen bridges, broken glass windows, destroyed cars, and human skeletons laid a waste in the streets of Paris. Even the Eiffel Tower, a monument to celebrate the French Revolution, was bent to the right, the end touching the ground.

          Hiding, in an old bakery, was none other than eighteen-year-old Taichi "Tai" Kamiya. He laid there, his back to a storage box, asleep, with his arms crossed and his legs bent. Clipped to his torn pants was his digivice, and beside him was none other than his digimon partner, Agumon. The two had been through bad times since the destruction of the Digimon Overlord.

          As the sun started to set, even though no one could see it, the sky darkened, letting the darkness take over. The streetlamps, which some still worked, lit the night sky, and dark creatures were marching around in the darkness, looking for any renegade digimon or digidestind. Here, in Paris, the ruling Omega had a different prospective of how things went. He would send his soldiers out onto the streets, looking for any digidestind or digimon, and then capture them. They would then be sent to his base of operations, where he would brainwash them and make them his obedient slaves. Tai and Agumon had survived long enough to escape the Omega's clutches.

          Agumon's eyes slowly opened, as the little t-rex digimon was coming to. He looked around, trying to figure out where he was. His memory then came back to him, and he reminded himself it was time to wake Tai up. He shook his human partner awake.

          "Tai! Tai, wake up, wake up!!! It's time to get up!!!" Agumon shook Tai numerous times. Finally, the late teen woke up.

          "Huh, what is it Agumon?" Tai asked. He had a beard, and his hair was more unruly than ever. He still wore that blue sweatband atop his forehead. He wore a jacket, where sleeves were about to come off, and a red shirt, which barred his midriff. His white sneakers outfitted him, having his toes exposed to the world, which weren't a pretty sight.

          "The Omega's soldiers are coming Tai. We need to escape now," Agumon replied. Tai realized what his partner had said. And with that, the boy got up from his position. He then looked down to his partner.

          "Then what are waiting around for? Let's go!!!" Tai took Agumon by the arm and the two started to run, towards the back exit of the bakery. Tai opened the door, and the two emerged on the streets, into a back alleyway. The Omega's soldiers went by the bakery in the front, passing to keep on marching down the lane. Tai and Agumon hid behind a wall, which was near the street. When the coast was clear, the two ran the other way. The group of soldiers heard tapping, and turned behind them. It was a group of Guardromon.

          "Scanning organisms," one of the Guardromon replied. It scanned the retreating back of Tai and Agumon.

"Organisms identified. One Tai Kamiya, Chosen of Courage, and one Agumon, Rookie level, Vaccine type." The Guardromon, along with two others, flew after the Chosen duo. Agumon looked back to see the Guardromon coming toward them.

          "Tai, the Guardromon are coming this way!" Agumon shouted. Tai looked back for a second, before turning his attention back toward the front.

          "This is great, just great…" Tai mumbled to himself, as he and Agumon turned a corner to the right, and into another alleyway. The Guadromon chased him, and Agumon and Tai ended up at a dead end. Tai and Agumon turned around to see the three Guardromon coming this way. "Great, now I'm going to be killed by android digimon," Tai said sarcastically. The three Guardromon landed a few meters ahead of him.

          "Surrender Chosen of Courage, or be destroyed. Chose wisely," the middle of the Guardromon replied. Tai looked around, and pretended that he was thinking on it. He then saw a high beam, between the two buildings, and an idea came into his mind.

          "Alright Guardromon, you win, my digimon and I surrender," Tai replied. Slowly, the Guardromon started to advance at them. Tai looked at Agumon, then at the beam. Agumon looked up, and he realized what Tai was planning. "Agumon, fire now!!!" Tai hollered.

          "Right Tai! Pepper Breath!!!" Agumon fired a fireball up into the sky. The Guardromon saw it go up, but it didn't look past where it went, so they didn't see the beam above them. They looked back at Tai and Agumon.

          "Your aim is off Digimon of Courage," the Guardromon replied, coming ever closer to Tai and Agumon. All of a sudden, the fireball hit the beam, causing part of it to melt and break off. It fell from the sky, twirling through the air at an acclerating speed, before hitting the three Guardromon in the head, making them go unconscious. Tai smiled as they all hit the ground.

          "Phew, that was a close one Agumon," Tai replied, looking down at the fallen Guardromon.

          "You're telling me Tai. It's a good thing that plan came in handy, or else they would have made us their slaves," Agumon replied. Tai nodded, and then the two stepped over the fallen digimon, and ran out of the alley. Grey clouds formed in the sky, and lightning streaked across the digital rift. A few moments later, rain started to pour down on this drenched world. Tai and Agumon got back onto the street, and walked across the street into a nearby park, where there was a tunnel where the Seine River passed. They then sat down, and sleep took over Tai and Agumon's bodies, as Tai dreamed back to the incident…

***FLASHBACK BEGINS***

From the top to the bottom (Bottom to top I stop)

At the core I've forgotten (in the middle of my thoughts)

Taken far from my safety (The picture's there)

The memory won't escape me…

          Tai produced a fake smile, as he was helping his sister put up decorations for the party. This was a crucial event for the team. It was the one-year anniversary of Kimeramon's defeat, and of returning Ken to normal. Gatomon was playing with Meeko, and Kari was putting the finishing touches on the banner as she was hanging it up. He also remembered letting the others in, and the feeling he felt especially when he let Sora in. His heart felt sad, devastated, but also happy at the same moment.

Was stuck in a place so dark that you can hardly see

The matter, the matter is with the words I breathe

And as the rain drips, acidic questions surround me, I block out the sight of the powers that be

And duck away into the darkness, time's up I rise up in a rustic world with eyes shut

So tight that it blurs into the eyes of pretend, and when the eyes ease open then it's dark again

          Tai then remembered letting Matt in, his best friend. And saw the happy look on Sora's face when she and Matt embraced. For a moment, Tai frowned at them, before putting back up his false front and producing another fake smile for the couple. This was his best male and female friend, together, after all. But, since Tai was a young man, he envied what his friend had, and wished that he himself had it. He then looked over and saw his sister dancing with Davis and T.K. They were so much like him and Matt when he was their age, only the roles were reversed. Tai felt like he had to take a breather, so he stepped outside to the apartment balcony.

From the top to the bottom (Bottom to top I stop)

At the core I've forgotten (in the middle of my thoughts)

Taken far from my safety (The picture is there)

The memory won't escape me

So why should I care…

          Tai sighed tiredly as he looked up at the night sky, not noticing the green digital rift that was forming, so lost in his depression. He remembered how a long while ago he had a chance with Sora. But that was four years ago. And those four years ago were ruined by that stupid present he got for Sora, and that stupid letter he sent over the Net before Diaboromon attacked.

In the memory you'll find me

Eyes burning up

The darkness holding me tightly…

Until the sun rises up

          But that was just one factor that influenced Sora's choosing Matt over Tai. He also thought about his talents, comparing them to his best friend. They both looked attractive, but Matt had blond hair and sparkling blue eyes. And, he could sing on top of that. And, he was more quiet with his personality, and it seemed girls liked boys with that kind of personality. It seemed it just wasn't fair. But then again, life wasn't fair. Tai slowly came back to reality.

Listen to sound, dizzied from the ups and downs,

Nauseated by the polluted grunt that's all around

Watching the wheels of cars that pass, I look past

To the last of the light and the long shadows it casts

A windows grows, captures the eye and cries out a yellow light as it passes me by

And a young shadowy figure sits in a front of a box

Inside a building of ruck with antennas on top now

Nothing can stop in this land of the pain ,the sane, lose not  knowing it were part of the game

And while the insides change, the box stays the same, figure it out could bare anybody's name

The memories I keep are from a time like then, I put on my paper so I could come back to them,

Someday I hope to close my eyes and pretend that this crumpled up paper can be perfect again

          Tai frowned as he looked up to the night sky, coming back to reality, when he heard the door behind him slide open. He looked to the right as he saw T.K. walk towards the balcony, also sighing sadly. Tai then remembered that T.K. was going through the same thing with Kari, as Davis was winning her heart. Tai didn't want T.K. to make the same mistake he did with Sora, so he gave T.K. advice, encouraging the younger teen to go back and try again. T.K. thanked Tai as he headed back in, leaving Tai by himself, again.

From the top to the bottom (Bottom to top I stop)

At the core I've forgotten (in the middle of my thoughts)

Taken far from my safety (the picture's there)

The memory should escape me…

          Tai looked back up at the sky. The night seemed peaceful, and Tai became so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice the green digital rift that was expanding in the sky, covering the black clouds. Well, not until T.K. came back out with the rest of the group anyways. When he did mention the cloud, Tai snapped out of his thoughts. He looked at the rift, puzzled as with the rest of the Chosen Digidestind. He looked closely as he saw digimon falling out of the cloud, emerging into the Real World, and he became absolutely horrified.

I hearing this pollution and talking, this ceremonial walking, dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspring (what's happenin')

City governments are eternally nappin',traffin, greedy governments are causin' urban collapsin', bullets that scar souls,

Dark holes in your car stole, some parts be blacker than charcoal (for real)

This society that depends, and I don't know the differences, but the separation within

New reperation is fade, limited aide, and minimum wage living in tinder mcade, brothers in paid, tragedy in the parade, the darkness spreads like a permanent plague on a pack…

          And then, Tai heard his voice. The thundering voice that was of the Digimon Overlord. Tai, being the smart-aleck person he was, questioned the vicious digimon. And, the digimon responded to the questions, hurtling huge fireballs of destruction into the city district of Odaiba, causing mass destruction to the urban area. Shockwaves were formed from the explosions, ripping buildings apart, including the apartment complex that the digidestind were at. They were lifted into the air, and Tai looked at his sister, Kari, and his once beloved, Sora. He also looked at his other little brother, T.K, and his protégé, Davis. Tears formed in his eyes, when he realized he might never see them again. And in one last holler, Tai said goodbye to his friends:

"KARI!!!! SORA!!!!!! T.K.!!!!!!! MATT!!!!!!! DAVIS!!!!!!"

In the memory you'll find me…

Eyes burning up…

The darkness holding me tightly…

Until the sun rises up…  

Tai then became unconscious, as the memory started to fade away, as the sun peaked over the sky, its rays making its way into the tunnel, hitting the boy and his digimon. Tai's eyes cringed for a moment, before opening to reality. Tai then looked around, his memory coming back to where he was. He then yawned, stretching his arms before shaking Agumon awake.

Agumon opened his eyes, as he felt Tai shaking him. The two then got up from their resting spot, and left the tunnel, continuing on their journey to evade the Guardromon. They walked up a stairway, and left the park, returning to the streets of Paris. The two were now near the Arc de Triumphe, which was still standing. But what the duo didn't know, was that someone, or something was watching them in the shadows…

Tai and Agumon saw another patisserie, and he and Agumon went inside. The two then went into the back of the store, into the storage room. Tai then opened the cupboards, and found loaves of bread.

"Ah, this looks good." Tai took the bread from the cupboard, and set it down on the table below it. "Hey Agumon, can you find me a knife?" Tai asked. Agumon turned his head toward Tai.

"Sure Tai, I'll find one," Agumon answered, opening drawers below the table counters. He finally found, and walked over, handing it to his human partner. Tai then thanked his friend, cutting the loaf of bread into slices, so the two could eat it. Tai then handed Agumon some slices, while he sliced himself some. The two then ate the bread, having the stale food item hit their stomach. It didn't matter that it was stale, just as long as they had some nurishment. Meanwhile, outside, their was the group of Guardromon, marching.

"Well, even though the bread was stale, that was a good breakfast," Tai replied, patting his stomach. Agumon nodded, as he also patted his stomach. The two then decided to leave, and went out the front entrance, not knowing that the Guardromon were there. As soon as they came out, the Guardromon spotted them.

"Chosen of Courage, ceast and desist!!!" the leader of the Guardromon replied. Tai and Agumon freaked, and ran away, with the Guardromon flying after them again. They turned right into an alleyway, dodging the old garbage dumpsters and emergency stairways. Tai and Agumon turned left, and ran through a straightaway, and then turned right, and went through another straightaway. The Guardromon followed them, and Tai and Agumon suddenly came to a dead end. Again, the Guardromon stopped a few meters ahead of them. And again, Tai and Agumon looked back at them.

"Oh man, this feels like déjà vu," Tai replied, scratching his head. Agumon nodded. The Guardromon then aimed their arms at the duo.

"This time Chosen of Courage, you have nowhere to go, nowhere to run," the leader of the Guardromon replied. He then released his attack.

"Guardian Barrage!!!"

Two missiles launched themselves out of his arms, traveling at a fast speed towards the two. Tai closed his eyes, flinching. Thinking he was die. His last thought was Goodbye cruel world… before he thought he was going to die. But, the missiles never hit him or Agumon. He heard something wrap around them, and throwing them against the wall. He then opened his eyes. There, in front of him and Agumon, was a Floramon.

"Take this you lackies!!! Ughhhhh!!!!!" Floramon replied, extending her vines towards the Guardromon. They wrapped around one of them, and Floramon flinged him to the right side, knocking into the others. They then fell, leaving her, Tai and Agumon time to escape.

"Come on you two, let's get moving!!!" Floramon hollered to them. She pressed three different bricks in the wall, and it opened up to reveal a hidden passageway.

"Let's go Agumon," Tai said, as the three rushed into the passage way, having the wall close up behind them. As the Guardromon got back up from the assult, they realized that the trio were gone.

"Great, their gone! Our master won't like this!!!" the leader of the Guardromon replied. The three of them then flew away from the dead end, heading back toward their base of operations. Meanwhile, Tai, Agumon and Floramon were walking down a large stairway and into the famous Sewers of Paris.

"Floramon, thanks for saving us back there," Tai said, looking at the dimly lit torch walls of the catacombs. Floramon looked back at Tai and Agumon.

"You're welcome," Floramon replied, and then she stopped. Tai and Agumon looked ahead of them, and saw a dark figure in the shadows. Tai unclipped his digivice.

"Show yourself!!!" Tai hollered, pointing his digivice toward the figure. His digivice then lit up, a bright white light illuminating the sewers, revealing the dark figure. It was none other than Catherine.

"Catherine!!!" Floramon ran to her human partner. Catherine smiled as she bent down to hug her digimon partner.

"Great job Floramon!!! Thanks for rescuing Tai and Agumon!!!" Catherine congratulated her digimon, embracing her. The two then broke their embrace, and Catherine stood up. Agumon and Tai looked at her for a moment, and then Tai's memory came back.

"Oh yeah, I remember you. T.K. and I helped free you at Versaille Palace to fight Mamemon, BigMamemon, MetalMamemon and Giromon three years ago," Tai said, remembering the incident. Catherine nodded.

"I'm glad you remember me. How did you end up here in Paris?" Catherine asked. Agumon answered that question.

"We were having a celebration back home in Odaiba when the Digimon Overlord came and destroyed the district. The aftermath of the explosions sent us towards this direction, and next thing we knew, we were here in Paris," Agumon replied.

"I see. Let's go," Catherine said, starting to walk. Tai and Agumon followed her and Floramon, making their way through the sewer tunnels, turning left and right, running into rats and dead bodies lying in the walls for centuries. Finally, after an hour of walking, the four made their way to a brick wall with two giant columns on its left and right side. Catherine pressed a brick, which opened up to reveal a glass screen. A laser device scanned Catherine's eyes, and then made a noise. "Step back you guys," Catherine replied, backing up. Tai and Agumon followed her movements, as the wall opened up to reveal a metal corridor. Catherine smiled as she and Floramon made their way inside. Tai and Agumon followed, and the hidden wall closed behind them, keeping the secret hideaway hidden.

After walking through the metal corridor for about ten minutes, Catherine, Floramon, Tai and Agumon made their way to a door, with the Digital Resistance seal in the center. It opened up, to reveal a huge room which resembled the Pentagon. In the back was a huge flat screen monitor, with a huge computer console in front of it. There were desks around the room, where computers sat, and there were people working. To the right were clear glass doors, with medical doctors working on digimon who had been damaged in battle. Tai and Agumon stood, amazed that something like this was here in Paris.

"Tai, Agumon, welcome to the headquarters of the French Digi-Resistance. Here, we monitor ze actions of ze Omega and his troops," Catherine replied, walking to a little area to the left. It was a little kitchen, with some coffee tables, and some appliances (the headquarters is like the headquarters in Men In Black) on the counters. "Want some coffee?" Catherine asked.

"Uh, sure, thanks," Tai answered. Catherine poured Tai a cup, and Tai sipped it. It was delicious, and Tai licked his lips when he was done engulfing the wonderous drink. Catherine and Floramon then sat down at a table, which Tai joined them.

"So, Catherine, how did the Digital Resistance came to be? This organization seems to be very elaborated," Tai said, looking around the base.

"It is. It was found in New York by Willis, the Chosen of Destiny, and Mimi Tachikawa, the Chosen of Sincerity. We also monitor digimon who try to bio-merge on ze Net, and we have battles with ze Omega's soldiers. Our leader was captured a few days ago, so we're doing all we can to get him back," Catherine said sadly. Tai noticed this, and became concerned for the girl. After all, he did have a little crush on her.

"It looks like you care for your leader very much. What is his name?" Tai asked, looking at Catherine. She glanced up at him.

"His name, was Jacque Pierre. I've known him since I was eight, and I've been infatuated with him ever since. Had you ever been in love with somemone Tai, and then suddenly have them taken away from you?" Catherine asked, her emotions rising. Tai frowned, seeing an image of Sora and Matt, happy together. It then faded away from his mind.

"In fact, yes, I have had someone I love be taken away from me. Her name was-" Tai's sentence was cut-off when the warning alarm started to ring.

"There's a disturbance in France. Come, we must go to the main console," Catherine replied, rising up from her seat. She and Floramon walked away towards the main computer, and Tai sighed tiredly.

"Come on Agumon, let's go follow them…" Tai said sadly as he got up from his seat, slowly following Catherine to the main computer. On the screen, the camera showed an area of Paris, with fog emerging in the distance. "What's happening?" Tai asked, looking stunned at the computer screen.

"Oh no, a digimon has bio-merged from ze Net! If ze Guardromon find him, then he might join ze Omega!!!" Catherine replied in terror. Tai looked down at her, and frowned back up at the screen.

Don't worry Catherine, I'll protect you from whatever is coming…Wait a minute, where did that come from? Tai's heart was starting to acclerate, but then Tai wanted it to stop. It then decreased, and returned back to normal. What's up with that? I can't be in love with Catherine already, I just can't be. I need to concentrate on the matter at hand here, Tai thought, concentrating on the problem at hand. He looked up at the computer screen. The fog cleared, and the bio-merged digimon appeared. It was a Golemon!!!

"Soldiers, report to Sector B1 on the double!!!" Catherine replied, wearing a talking headset. Soldiers emerged from the base with their digimon, and made their way towards the streets in white jeeps through a back exit. The camera monitored them as they drove towards the area, as the Golemon was starting reak havoc on the city. The screen then split, showing the soldiers in the jeep, and showing the Golemon destroy abandoned cars, glass flying through the air to meet with the concrete ground.

White cumulus clouds formed in the sky, giving it a white appearance. The jeep with the soldiers and their digimon in it screeched to a stop, near the Golemon. The driver opened the back trunk, and some of the soldiers pulled out some bazookas. There were a group of five soldiers in the car. Soon, three other jeeps pulled up, with soldiers also pulling out rocket launchers to use against the Golemon. There were fifteen soldiers in all, with different Rookie level digimon.

"Attack!!!" one of the soldiers cryed. Rocket launchers and bazooka missiles were launched through the air, traveling their way towards Golemon. Out of the corner of his eye, Golemon saw the missiles, and thrashed his left arm forwards, destroying the missiles with ease with his rock-hard physique. The soldiers were left stunned. They then regained their composure.

"Digimon, attack now!!!" the soldiers hollered. Tai and Catherine watched in horror as the digimon fired their attacks at the Golemon. But no matter what, they were just too weak for the yellow Champion digimon. He twirled around in a tornado motion, causing a rapid tornado to emerge and wipe out the brigade. The camera got hit, and static appeared on the screen.

"Oh man, what do we do now? Ze Golemon is just too powerful," Catherine replied. Tai looked at her and Floramon.

"Listen Catherine, every enemy can be defeated. Everyone has a weak spot, and this Golemon's no different. We have got to find a way to slow him down," Tai responded, encouraging the girl. Catherine looked up at him, and smiled. An idea then flashed in her mind.

"Merci for ze encouragement Tai. I think I may have found a way to defeat this digimon. Follow me," Catherine replied, grinning. Tai and Agumon looked at each other, and shrugged. They then followed her and Floramon to the back of the base. At a wall, was a little square panel. Catherine pushed it, and a metal door opened up to reveal a room full of cars. Catherine walked over to a shining red Mustang, and got inside. Tai and Agumon followed her, and got inside.

"Uh, Catherine, do you know how to drive?" Tai asked, buckling up. Agumon and Floramon were in the back seat, buckling up as well.

"Oui Tai, I do. Jacque taught me how," Catherine replied, turning the key to ignite the engine. The V6 engine then revved up, as Catherine changed gears to take the car out of Parking. She then took a remote and pressed it, and another wall opened up to reveal a hidden alley, leading to the streets of Paris. Catherine then maneuvered the car around the others, and drove into the back exit, emerging into an alleyway. The wall closed behind them, and Catherine drove left and right, until the car finally made its way onto a street.

The Mustang turned left, and acclerated down the street towards Golemon. Catherine pushed a button, and the hood of the car came off (gotta love Triple X!!!), and bounced on the street behind them. Tai looked back, and then looked forward again to see them coming up on Golemon. "Here goes nothing!!!" Catherine exclaimed. She pressed another button on the car console, and two panels in the front opened up, revealing missiles. Catherine aimed them at Golemon, and then fired them!!! They flew through the air, making their way towards the towering giant digimon, before exploding on his body.

"Catherine, I think that isn't going to help," Tai replied. Catherine looked at him as she pressed the brakes, therefore stopping the car.

"Just watch and learn Tai, just watch and learn," Catherine said. Tai looked her like she was crazy for a second, before turning his attenion back towards the Golemon. As the smoke cleared, Golemon was strangled in a net of immense size!!! The ends were attached to the panels of the car. The Golemon thrusted his arm forward, trying to break through the net, but with no avail. The net shocked him with high volts of electricity, making the digimon fall backwards to meet the ground back first.

"Wow Catherine, great plan. We have him," Tai replied, amazed at how smart Catherine was. She then smiled at Tai.

"Why thank you Tai. Now, let's take him back to base," Catherine replied, pushing a button. The net was released, and Catherine turned the car around. She then turned the gear to put her car in park mode, and then pushed another button. Two panels opened in the back to reveal two harpoons with pointy edges. Catherine aimed them, and then fired. The harpoons flew through the air, and wrapped around the edges of the Net.

"Oh, now I see. We can drag him back to base," Tai examined. Catherine nodded.

"Precisely," she answered, turning her attenion back towards the steering wheel. She then changed gears, and revved up the car, the engine roaring like a wild beast. She then moved forward, but didn't feel anything drag behind her. "Qu'est ce que ce?" she looked behind her and stopped the car, and saw that the net had been torn off. She again changed the gears so she could park the car. Tai and her looked back, along with their digimon, to see Golemon standing above them. And beside him, was the group of three Guardromon that Tai and Agumon had knocked unconscious earlier.

"Oh great, now what?" Tai asked. The Guadromon looked at Golemon. They were talking to him, and the Golemon was nodding. He then looked at Tai and Catherine, and smiled evilly. "Uh oh, that smile means something bad," Tai replied. The Guadromon stood aside, as the Golemon prepared to charge the car.

"Let's get out of this car!!!" Tai hollered, unbuckling himself. He and Catherine jumped out, followed by their digimon. Just as they got out, the Golemon stepped on the car, crushing it with his bare feet. Tai and Catherine breathed heavily. Golemon then turned his head to see them.

"I missed that time, but this time I won't," Golemon replied, rotating his body towards them. He slowly started to advance toward them. Catherine wimpered, not knowing what to do. Floramon stood in front of her, ready to attack at any moment. Golemon then released his attack.

"Purple Haze!!!" Golemon shouted, releasing a purple mist through his back. It spread through the air, and blinded Agumon and Floramon's instincts. Golemon then charged forward, and made his way toward Floramon. When the haze cleared, Floramon saw Golemon.

"Floramon look out!!!" Catherine exclaimed. Floramon then extended her vines, having them wrap around the Golemon. He then grinned, and started to twirl around, taking Floramon with him. He spun her around a few times, and Floramon's vine grip was released, sending Floramon into the air and collided with the ground, face first. Tears started to form in Catherine's eyes, seeing her best friend and protector hurt, see couldn't stand it.

"Floramon NO!!!!" Catherine hollered. Golemon turned his attention toward the 15 year old.

"So, Floramon is your partner. What a wimp. And this time, I'm going to take you out," Golemon said, advancing towards the girl. Catherine stood there petrified. Tai looked at her, and sweated nervously. I wish there was something I could do. But what can I do?… Tai's thoughts trailed off. He then remembered what he stood for. Courage.

"Hey, Golemon, why don't you take me on instead?" Tai shouted, walking in front of Catherine, shielding her. Agumon followed, poised in an attack stance in front of Tai. Golemon looked down upon the boy.

"You're standing up for the girl? How pathetic boy. Well, I value your ideals, so I'll take you down first," Golemon replied. Tai stood his ground, not afraid of the consequences. He thought he had lived a good life while it lasted, and he hoped that maybe he would peace in the next world. "Here it goes!!! UGHHHHHH!!!!!!" Golemon slammed his arm forward towards Tai. Tai closed his eyes, bracing for the impact.

Well, at least I lead a good life. Goodbye, Sora…Kari…Catherine… As Tai thought those last words, an orange beam of light emerged from the sky. His digivice glowed, becoming brighter. The orange light blinded Golemon, and collided with Tai's digivice. It then transformed, taking on a new shape. When it was finished, it was a D-3 with an orange lens. And under the LCD screen, the Crest of Courage was engraved in shining yellow.

Tai opened his eyes, and looked down upon his new formatted digivice. "What?" He picked it up, and examined it. It was glowing, and Tai felt energy pulsing through his body. This may be my only chance. Here it goes, Tai thought, pointing the digivice toward Agumon. "Here it is Golemon, your time has come!!!" Tai then released the energy from his D-3, having it soar towards Agumon. It collided with his body, and Agumon glowed with the energy. A new transformation then began.

"NET DIGIVOLUTION…"

Agumon's skin ripped as new, binary code made its way into his body. He became bigger, and also more muscular. His body became human-like, more like a man's. His eyes became blue, and his skin burst into flames. He then glew with a fiery aura, as his transformation was complete.

"Meramon!!!"

"Well well well, what have we here? Your digimon digivolved. How quaint. But, can he measure up to my power?" Golemon asked. Meramon glared at Golemon.

"I can, and I will. With the Power of Courage within me, I will stop you, and anyone who messes with my partner. You are going down Golemon!!!" Meramon pointed towards Golemon, threatening him. Golemon then smirked.

"Then bring it on hotshot," Golemon replied, getting in attack stance. Meramon just smiled at him.

"Very well then. Fireball!!!" Meramon concentrated with his palm, as a fireball formed. He then concentrated more on it, and the flame ignited, growing with heat and energy.

"Take this Golemon, AGHHHHHH!!!!!!" Meramon pitched the fireball through the air. At an acclerating speed, the huge ball of fire collided with Golemon's body. The rock-hard digimon, surprised from the power, stumbled back as it exploded, creating smoke.

"Ughhhhh!!! You are more powerful then I thought you were," Golemon said, clutching the spot where Meramon's fireball struck. Meramon walked slowly towards Golemon.

"Oh, the battle has just begun Golemon. Allow me to introduce to you my ultimate attack. Roaring…" Meramon concentrated on the energy inside him, making it reach its peak. Meramon's body started flare up, with so much energy that it shook the ground. This scared Golemon. "FLAME!!!" Meramon then charged forward, and transformed into a huge fireball. He tore through the ground, bring up rock as he came flying toward Golemon. And in one final moment, Meramon blazed through Golemon's body, coming out the other side. His attack wore off, and Meramon stood behind Golemon. Golemon cringed, and in one final breath, deleted into meaningless data, being scattered to the winds.

"Wow…" Tai stood there, his eyes glistening with amazement. He didn't know that Meramon had power like that. Meramon sighed, as he glowed, the energy leaving him. He then shrunk back to his Rookie state, Agumon. "Agumon, you did it!!!" Tai exclaimed as he ran towards his partner. He hugged him, and then noticed the Guardromon who provoked Golemon to attack was gone. He then stood up, and looked back, seeing Catherine hold an injured Floramon.

"Catherine, will Floramon be okay?" Tai asked, looking concerned at the girl.

"I think she will if we get her to a doctor. Come on, let's go before it's too late," Catherine answered. Tai and Agumon nodded, and the three ran back toward the base. Once back inside, Catherine rushed Floramon to the medical ward. After waiting in the waiting room for what seemed like ages, the doors opened to reveal a doctor with long blue hair, and dark rimmed glasses. He was wearing a medical uniform. Catherine and Tai ran up to him.

"Doctor, will my Floramon be alright? Please say she'll be alright," Catherine replied. The doctor looked down at Catherine and smiled.

"Don't worry, your Floramon will be just fine. All she needs is rest and relaxation," the doctor replied calmly. Catherine hugged Tai in relief.

"That's a relief," Catherine sighed in Tai's chest, and Tai sighed. He was glad that everything turned out alright. He then looked up at the doctor.

"Thank you for saving Floramon, doctor," Tai replied. The doctor smiled calmly, and then looked at Tai in a very peculiar glance. His eyes then twiched, and his mouth opened.

"You're welcome, Tai…"

Whoa, how does the doctor know Tai's name? And what is happening between Tai and Catherine, is it romance? And what happened to the trio of Guardromon? Find out next time on Digimon: Digital Monsters!!!
