John was certain his one encounter with Blackwargreymon would not be enough to hold off the Mega digimon from harming some of the digiworld. He decided to return, to help sort things out among the quarreling digidestined. He was not aware though of the scare Arukenimon had put on them with her newest creation. They were paranoid, but even that was not enough to bring Ken and Cody together.

Elecmon escorted his small charges back to the nursery, where they went to sleep. His job description had changed little since his first encounter with the digidestined. He was hoping to get some shut eye himself. But something had caught his eye. A blade lightly gleamed in the moonlight. Elecmon prepared himself to defend his babies, not knowing who might emerge from the shrubbery. He was relieved when Butchmon came out of hiding and presented himself in full light. Elecmon had not seen the human-digimon for ages. Their last meeting was a long time off. It was the first fight between Coàllamon and Devimon. Elecmon remembered the fight well, mainly because he had played a small part. When Devimon had tried to surprise Butchmon from the trees, Elecmon had sent a superthunder strike that gave the rookie time to reach Champion to even the fight.

"Elecmon, have you seen the digidestined lately?"

"No, but there's a random control spire here that they might look for."

"That's nice. I can think of better things to have lying around."

"You after Blackwargreymon? He's heading this way, we've been warned."

"No, I'm here to resolve the problems with the digidestined."

"Ok, tell you what, I think they may go to the control spire. Look for them there."

"Elecmon, it's good to see you, you and I both I would not here now if it hadn't been for you."

"Don't mention it. Besides, your actions safeguarded the digidestined digi-eggs for years, allowing them to save the world."

"Take care Elecmon, I'm off"

"You too, bye Butchmon."

It wasn't hard for Butchmon to find the spire. Anyone could have seen it. Butchmon planted himself against the spire. He didn't destroy it, because he didn't know if they would come that way if he did. He drifted off. He had time. Or so he thought. Nothing there, really. Primary Village was the closest location, and it was miles down the road. He drifted off...No he could not drift off. The fate of the world lay in his hands. Reconciliation was a priority. He waited. He stood and waited.

Yolei had got to the front of the group with Hawkmon. They saw Butchmon leaning against the spire, but they had no idea who he was. Yolei looked to see where she could find help. She believed she had found another of Arukinemon's creations and it was defending the control spire. Butchmon began to walk toward her. Yolei looked for help. Kari was the closest person to her.

"Kari, I need help! There's an evil digimon heading toward me!"

"Hey wait a minute, I'm not a..."

"Don't worry Yolei, I'll be right there."

"But I..."

"Go Hawkmon!"

Butchmon looked in front of him. This was not one of his better days. Now he was being attacked by the very people he was trying to help. He didn't have much choice. With that fool control spire there, and Yolei refusing to listen to reason, he would have to play their game.

...TALLGESOMON, the Soldier of Intensity.

Tallgesomon stood forth to defend himself against the two ladies and their digimon. His change had bewildered them for a minute, but they assumed that Arukinemon was getting for creative with her creations. Tallgesomon looked, like the name suggests, like the MS Tallgeese from another Anime program (Gundam Wing). The armor digimon was shorter, about 6' 2" and the crest of intensity blazed on his shield. That interlocking N and C spelled doom to his enemies. But here he was fighting the digidestined. It was two on one and he might not be able to stop both Shurimon's fighting skills and the manuverablility of Nefertimon at the same time.

DOUBLE STAR!

A huge ninja star came hurling at Tallgesomon. He deftly caught it and threw it harmlessly away.

"You know guys, we..."

ROSETTA STONE!

A huge stone came at him. He put his arms crossed in front of him, bracing the blow. Then he fired his engine and blasted away from the falling boulder. From the air he had a better view on things.

"He's up there Kari!"

"Go get him Nefertimon!"

"Will you listen for one one minute..."

ROSETTA STONE!

DOUBLE STAR!

Two small rubies came firing at him. Shurimon's spring-like arms were also coming at him.

DIGIBEAM SABER!!!

Pulling his saber, Tallgesomon took down the rubies. He knocked the double-stars away with his shield.

"That's it! Please, listen, we shouldn't..."

"Kari's in trouble! Go Veemon!"

...FLAMEDRAMON, the Fire of Courage.

"Crap! I can't take this anymore! But you're screwed!"

Tallgesomon used his speed and agility to get above Nefertimon. He figured Shurimon and Flamedramon would respond soon, but he had to take out one of them. He sat on her. His weight was driving her into the ground, but before she hit, he whispered something into her ear. At this point he dismounted and propelled himself back into the air. Nefertimon's energy went away, and she became Gatomon. But because of her driven flight, Kari had to run away from the battle. There she nearly came upon Cody and T.K. who were coming from up the road. Cody had told T.K. about Jonomon. T.K. could believe it somehow. Matt had told him of encountering a youth that fit Cody's description of his recent visitor. After meeting him, Matt and MetalGarurumon had attacked Puppetmon.

Wormmon remembered Butchmon's recent appearance and was glad. A friend somewhere. Ken was brooding beside him. Then the two heard the sounds of battle. They ran and saw Tallgesomon's all too familiar form.

"Davis stop!"

"No Flamedramon, hold off, he's a friend!"

"No friend would ruthlessly attack Nefertimon like that."

"Ken, I'm sorry, but you're wrong about this one."

"Davis listen to me, he's..."

"Sorry, Ken, he tried to hurt Kari, he's going down."

"But..."

"Go Flamedramon!"

FIRE ROCKET!

Tallgesomon had had enough as the blue armored digimon came charging toward him with a fiery glaze.

"I told you once, I told you twice, but you would not listen!"

BLAZE OF INTENSITY!!!

The symbol on the shield glowed. And then a huge interlocking N and C came down upon the charging Flamedramon. The blast was so mighty that Tallgesomon had been propelled backwards. Flamedramon never expected this. He was hurled backwards to the ground where he became Veemon.

"Davis, make me Raidramon, and I'll toast his cannon."

Tallgesomon swooped down and restrained Shurimon. All the springy legs were now under his control. Raidramon stood before him, but the storm of friendship would make no move to hurt Shurimon. Tallgesomon backed toward the control spire. His grip was strong and Shurimon could not wiggle out of it. He was playing for time now. Any minute he might lose more energy and be forced down to Butchmon.

Kari found Gatomon, T.K., Cody, and their companions. Gatomon had told them that Tallgesomon was the armor champion form of Butchmon, the rookie form of the legendary Coàllamon. They had to hurry to save him from Davis and Veemon, who would stop at nothing to avenge Kari. Cody wanted to help the figure who had tried to help him. T.K. knew the importance of this figure to his brother, and also ran to help him.

Ken placed himself in front of Tallgesomon. As did Stingmon, who for some reason could digivolve when there were control spires around. Raidramon was not sure what his next move was, but with Ken and Stingmon with him, Tallgesomon let Shurimon go. The ninja backed off toward where Raidramon was. Yolei saw her man guarding the enemy. She didn't know what to do. However, when Pegasusmon and Digmon arrived and stood with Stingmon, things were even weirder. Things reached a climax when Kari, T.K., Cody, and Gatomon stood with Ken.

"Kari, that thing attacked you, how can you defend it?"

"Davis, it did not, I merely tried to help Yolei. I did not have all the facts."

"Yolei, you and I did kind off jump on this one without any knowledge."

"Shurimon, I was just so on edge."

"Don't worry guys, it's okay now. This is some armor form of Jonomon."

"Who's Jonomon, T.L.?"

"He's the legendary digimon who prevented our (the first season's) digimon from being destroyed before we got there."

"He was also the first to tell me what I was doing was wrong."

"Ken, really? Well,"

"I knew you'd come around Davis."

"Well, T.H. I guess I did."

Cody and Ken looked at each other. There was a spark of understanding between them.

Tallgesomon rose in the air, everyone looking on, pulled out the digidobergun and fired on the spire, destroying it. He then left, mission accomplished.

Note: Due to the forums not working for me, I've placed my Davis theory here.

Davis is Patton:

The reason I really did not care for Davis at first was his arrogance and impulsitity. The guy would out of his way to get in a fight or cause extra trouble. But once in a fight, Davis is the best ally imaginable. I started wondering about Davis when the episode with Raidramon first aired and with the appearance of Magnamon, I thought he had changed, but the episode with Exveemon showed me that that was battlefield Davis and non-battlefield Davis was something else. Davis reminds me of a figure in history, General George S. Patton. Patton was an "anachronism," a man of war, who was almost useless in peace. It was said about him that "the absense of war would kill him." Patton believed in a constant offensive, that a good plan now, is better than a perfect plan later. Davis fits here except generally Davis had no plan at all. Davis played to win. He knew that meant Ken should join early. Patton once said he wished to meet Rommel "with him in his tank, and me in mine, for a duel that would settle the whole war." Is that not in essence the Magnamon-Kimeramon fight? I don't mind Davis in his Pattonesque role, but I do mind when he has no battles to fight and screws things up then.
