Chapter Two: Old Warriors meet New Friends

"Alright. We're here. But where's all the fighting?" Takato seemed confused.

"You want fighting? Well here it is!" A mysterious voice bellowed from behind them.

"Takato, who is this guy?" Henry seemed even more confused than Takato at the appearance of this enemy.

"I don't know. My digivice is coming up blank." Takato tried in vein to get his digivice to get data on the new digimon.

"His names Apocolymon. He's one of the worst digimon to have ever lived in the digital world." Someone said from behind.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Rika was just as assertive as ever.

"My names Tai. Tai Kamiya. I was one of the first people to step foot in the digital world. Me and my friends, that is."

"Tai, do you have a partiner digimon?" Takato seemed suspicious.

"He's up there." Tai points up, pointing at Wargreymon.

Takato points his digivice at Wargreymon. "That's Wargreymon. He's a mega level digimon. His attacks are Terra Force and Mega Claw."

"How long have you been fighting against Apocolymon?" Takato asked curiously.

"Me and some of my friends have been fighting for over a month now. If it wasn't for us this place would have been destroyed." Tai seemed very concerned.

"Well, we're here now. We can help you. As soon as we find our partiners." Takato seemed exited at seeing Guilmon again.

"Takato? Takato!" Takato heard a familiar voice.

"Guilmon! You're here!" Takato ran up and hugged Guilmon.

"Where else would I be? Everyone else is here too. See?" Guilmon glanced over at the other digimon, Impmon included.

"Terriermon! I missed you. I'm glad you weren't blown up." Henry seemed worried even though he had found Terriermon safe and in one piece.

"Momentai." Terriermon said in his careless way.

"I'm glad to see you again. Rika." Renamon seemed pleased that Rika was back.

"I've missed you too Renamon." Rika was as happy as Renamon.

"Aww. How touching. I think I'm gonna cry." It was Beelzemon, as arrogant as ever.

"Beelzemon! It's great too see you again." Rika seemed happy to see him.

"Hey, Beelzemon. I bumped into Mako in the real world. He wanted me to give this to you." Henry handed the toy gun to Beelzemon.

"Heh. Just like the old days. I'll have a better chance with this." The toy gun glowed, turning Beelzemons hand into his powerful blaster once more.

"Are we ready to fight guys?" Takato seemed enthusiastic.

"You'd better believe it." Henry seemed as enthusiastic as Takato.

"Let's do this!" Rika seemed to just want to fight and get it over with.

"Digi-Modify! Digivoultion Activate!"

"Guilmon digivolve to! Growlmon!"

"Terriermon digivolve to! Gargomon!"

"Renamon digivolve to! Kyubimon!"

"Let's take him down!" Takato was ready to battle.

"Pyro Blaster!" Growlmon yelled as he shot his flaming orb at Apocolymon. Unfortunately, it had no effect.

"Dragon Wheel!" Kyubimon used her attack as well. This had as little effect as Growlmons attack.

"Gargo Laser!" Gargomon had as much luck as the others.

"Corona Blaster!" Beelzemon had more luck with his attack, but it did very little.

"Terra Force!" Wargreymons attack did just as much damage as Beelzemons.

"Is that the best you've got? Try this on for size! Giga Cannon!" One of Apocolymons arms turned into a shadow of the digimon Machinedramon, which then used his attack. In a single flash all of the digimon were on the ground.

"No! Guys, you have to get up. C'mon! You can do it!" Henry was determined for them to get up.

"There's only one thing left to do! Digi-Modify! Matrix Digivoultion activate!"

"Growlmon Matrix Digivolve to! Wargrowlmon!"

"Kyubimon Matrix Digivolve to! Taomon!"

"Gargomon Matrix Digivolve to! Rapidmon!"

"We can still fight!" Wargreymon said.

"He's right. We can!" Beelzemon agreed with Wargreymon.

"Atomic Blaster!" Wargrowlmons attack did very little.

"Talisman of Light!" Taomon was having just as much trouble as Wargrowlmon.

"Rapid Fire!" Rapidmon only succeded at aggravating Apocolymon.

"Double Impact!" Beelzemons attack managed to cause Apocolymons many arms to revert to its previous form.

"Mega Claw!" Wargreymon managed to sever one of Apocolymons arms, which instantly re-grew itself.

"So you haven't had enough. Here's some more! Crimson Mist!" Another of Apocolymons arms morphed into the shadow of Malomyotismon, which then used his attack. Instantly the digimon were coughing on their knees.

"How can this be happening?" Henry seemed angry at this point.

"Howling Wolf Claw!" A digimon attacked, freezing and shattering the Malomyotismon arm, which re-grew.

"Matt! Good to see you! We really need your help." Tai seemed excited.

"I thought you might." At that moment one of Apocolymons arms whipped Metalgarurumon to the ground. "Metalgarurumon!"

"it appears that you have met your maker, children. Prepair to die!" Apocolymon seemed to be enjoying the pain he was causing. How will they get out of this one? Find out on the next Digimon: Digital Monsters!
