Kirsten: I went to the Digital World with Terrimon to see if I could find out what was wrong with Darren. Suddenly I got attacked by MegaSeadramon but the others came and helped me. Suddenly me and Casey received our biomerge cards and defeated MetalSeadramon! I just hope Darren is ok…

6 Years Later Chapter 18: The Quest of Darren

(Darren rolled over on the settee trying to get back to sleep but it wasn't working. His headache was getting worse than ever and he was burning up, like he had the flu but worse. He stomach was swelling up as well and he had put on weight.round his stomach. Darren placed a hand to his forehead and cringed as the heat off his head shot off him. He could hear Kirsten moving about upstairs as she managed to get herself ready for bed)

"I cant see Kirsten see myself like this" Darren thought as he coughed and spluttered some more "She is already concerned about me and if she sees me like this she might send me to the hospital"

(Darren rolled back onto his back and a flashback came to mind)

FLASHBACK

(An 18-year-old Darren came stumbling out of his room where he had just spent his 2nd term as a university student. Suddenly he spotted a brown haired girl looking puzzled and staring at her books. Darren walked across and tapped her on the arm)

"Hi" he smiled "Are you lost?"

The girl smiled gracefully at him "I am kind of" she replied "These dorms don't tell you anything where you want to go. And it's my first term here so I don't have a clue where I am going!"

"Its my 2nd term" Darren grinned, "I don't turn 19 till February. I'm Darren by the way" he stuck his hand out

"Kirsten" the girl smiled at him "So where did you say the seminar rooms were" she replied

"Just down here" Darren replied. Suddenly a black device floated down from the sky and landed itself in Darren's pocket. Darren quickly showed Kirsten the way then ran down a alley and looked at the device

"What is this thing?" Darren thought puzzled. Without thinking he reached out and the device opened a portal. Darren then felt dark energy surrounding him as he retrieved the device from the portal and stuffed it back in his pocket

"Weird…" Darren thought. He then shook himself and hurried off back after Kirsten.

END OF FLASHBACK

"I remember that day as it was yesterday" Darren thought sadly lying on his back "And anyday now I will leave this world behind just because I was foolish enough to be in the trap of Daemon!" he yelled frustrated. Suddenly his digivice floated above him and landed beside him. Darren, confused, picked up the digivice and grasped it; suddenly an idea came to mind

"I am going to go to the Digital World and confront Daemon myself" he grimaced "Maybe if I defeat him myself then this pain will go away" the black haired boy then got to his feet and threw the throwover blanket to the ground. Stumbling to his feet he managed to make his way to the computer and switch it on. Hoping for it to be quieter so that Kirsten wouldn't hear it Darren typed in the code for the Digital World and held his digivice to the screen

"Digiport open!" he said quietly. The portal then bleeped softly and Darren got transported to the Digital World. Upstairs Kirsten heard the portal open and slowly got to her feet. Walking steadily downstairs she opened the kitchen door

"Darren" she said quietly "Are you there?"

(Hearing the computer switched on Kirsten walked into the main area of the flat and saw the Digi-Port on the screen. She drew a gasp of breath to her cheek)

"But if the Digi-Port is on the screen" she whispered "That must mean he is a digidestined. I have to go and save him!" she yelled

(Getting a coat and some shoes from the cupboard Kirsten drew her silver coloured digivice to the screen)

"Digi-Port open!" she yelled. Kirsten then got transported to the Digital World leaving Terrimon asleep behind

(Daemon was in his base throwing darts at the Digidestined. He had scored a bullseye on Bens nose and was aiming for Casey when he heard a knock on the door)

"What is it!" Daemon said crossly pressing a button on his computer for the door to open. There stood Piedmon, Daemons best henchman and the last remaining Dark Master Daemon had to offer

"Ah there you are Piedmon place yourself down" Daemon smirked

"What do you want boss?" Piedmon asked not interested in Daemons games

"As you can see the brats along with their older siblings (Meaning Kim, Louisa, Peter, Cameron, Ashley, Katie, Naomi, Nicole and Ritchie) are on a little camping trip. I want you to go and attack them now!" Daemon exclaimed. Suddenly he noticed Darren walking straight to his base with Kirsten about 200 feet away "What how did HE get here!" Daemon slammed his fist on the desk "I thought I disconnected his digivice when I became power!" Daemon yelled "Slight change of plan" Daemon smirked out loud "I want you to go and kill him and his little fiancée too, she will soon turn up and then they can be together for one last time!" Daemon cackled, "When that is done go and attack the other Digidestined!"

"Yes boss" Piedmon replied bored before shutting the door. Daemon smirked before continuing to play darts.

(Darren slowly wobbled and continued on his journey to Daemons base. Suddenly he was stopped by Kirsten)

"K- Kirsten" he stammered, "What are you doing here"

"I might as well ask what you are doing here" Kirsten asked confused "I didn't know that you were a Digidestined"

"No one did" Darren muttered "Only your younger siblings" he replied

"Ashley and Katie" Kirsten muttered. Darren nodded and sat down on the side of the forest walkway

"When I first met you that day I received a digivice, although at the time I didn't know what it was, it turned me cold and evil and nasty. One day I met a creature called Daemon he said he would take me under his wing and learn how to be the ruler of his place. What I didn't know was that he was storing energy for him to take control of my body" Darren replied

(Kirsten nodded)

"One day he did take control and I began hurting small and innocent Digimon. That when Ben and the others came and tried to defeat me. I even sent out that Digimon at our engagement party" Darren hung his head "But I started getting weaker and ill until one day Daemon said that's enough and discarded my body for his own shell. That's when I collapsed at Louisa's and Ritchie's wedding. I grew weaker and weaker until today I am going to go to find Daemon and confront him myself!" Darren exclaimed

"You cant though you are too weak. Let me take you home where I can look after you get you better!" Kiraten exclaimed tears forming down her face

"I cant Kir I have to defeat him myself, I have to get rid of all the evil that has been surrounding me!" Darren cried out in frustration

"You aren't going anywhere!" a voice roared. Darren and Kirsten turned around to find Piedmon standing in front of them

"Where is Daemon!"? Darren yelled, "I want to confront him myself"

"Oh you will have to get past me first before you do that!" Piedmon smirked "Trump sword!" he brandished his 2 swords at Darren and Kirsten. Kirsten stepped in front of Darren and shouted, "Help!"

"I heard Kirsten shout Help!" Ashley murmured to Katie as they were doing the washing up

"Why would Kirsten be in the Digital World at this time of night" Ben murmured playing cards with Casey and Stuart

"I don't know but I think we better find out" Katie replied "Who is with me!"

(Ben, Kim, Ashley, Joseph, Tony, Casey, Stuart, Rob, Sam, Kerry and all the rest of the digidestined raised their hands)

"Good" Katie smiled "Now lets go!"

(All the Digidestined and their Digimon ran off to where they heard the scream come from. They could see Piedmon nearly begin to attack Darren and Kirsten who were on their knees)
"Kirsten!" Ashley and Katie exclaimed as they ran forward "Are you ok?"

"No" she mumbled, "I am not"

"Come on guys" Katie nodded to her friends "We need all the help we can get"

"I am not helping him!" Louisa pointing an accusing finger at Darren "He nearly stopped out wedding!"

"Me either" Ritchie nodded

"Well then we will have to do it our selves" Casey replied

"Digivole!" all the rest of the Digidestined shouted

"Giga Blaster!" the 2 MetalGreymon exclaimed shooting both their cannons at Piedmon. It hit him full on

"Tailsman Sphere!" Sakuyamon exclaimed sending her attack at Piedmon. Anklomon, Stingmon and ExVeemon each launched their attacks at Piedmon who got blasted down to the ground

"Horn Buster!" MegaKabuterimon exclaimed

"Vulcan's hammer!" Zudomon also shouted launching his attack at Piedmon. Angewomon also sent her arrow at Piedmon leaving the former Dark Master dazed and bruised on the ground

"Finish him off MagnaAngemon!" Ashley yelled to his Digimon

"Right!" MagnaAngemon shouted "Gate of destiny!" he announced, A portal slowly began to open where Piedmon was and slowly began to suck his way through it. Piedmon shouted with anguish as he fell through the portal. The portal then closed and all the Digimon ran forward towards their partners. Suddenly Naomi noticed a card sticking in the ground just where Piedmon was

"Is that…" she whispered walking forward and picking up the card "It is!" she grinned seeing the crests of Love and Sincerity on them. Naomi grasped the card in her hand and slotted it through the gap in her cherry coloured digivice. Hawkmon then began to glow

(Tony and Joseph then noticed 6 other cards appear in the thick mud. 2 had the crests of Courage, Friendship and Kindness on, another one had the crests of Love, Sincerity and Light on and the other card had the crests of Knowledge, Reliably and Hope on. Joseph and Tony then grabbed their cards)

"Guys!" Joseph then shouted towards Ashley, Katie, Naomi and Nicole who all came running towards the two teenage boys "Our DNA digivolution cards have arrived!" he grinned

"Well what are we waiting for" Naomi yelled brandishing her DNA card "Lets DNA digivole and go and find Daemon"

(Angewomon and MagnaAngemon then de digivoled back to their champion forms. Just as they were going to DNA digivole they heard a shout and saw Dawn and Isabella running towards them)

"We better digivole too!" Dawn panted

(The 5 Digimon then ran over to the rest of the team, Darren still extremely weak. Suddenly a dark light filled the area and Stuart ran over to Naomi)

"So here we are Digidestined!" Daemons voice roared over the pouring rain "We all finally meet, but I am afraid it wont be a friendly meeting because soon I will take control of the Digital world when all you brats leave!" he cackled

"We aren't leaving anywhere Daemon!" Ben yelled, "We will soon find out what you are made of!"

"Yeah!" Casey and Renamons voices sounded from inside Sakuyamon "We will defeat you and the evil will be returned from Darrens body. He isn't evil you made him evil!" they both yelled

"How pathetic!" Daemon chuckled "Well we will soon sort that out" he gave an evil grin and started to move closer to Kirsten and Darren

"Kirsten watch out!" Ashley and Katie yelled fearing the worse for their half sister. Daemon smirked and let out a bolt of energy, which blasted Kirsten and Darren away from each other. Kirsten lay slumped against a tree with Darren lying motionless on the ground not moving

"You evil monster!" Katie yelled standing closer to Ashley who put his arms around her "We will make you pay we will make sure of that!"

"Static Force!"Sliphymon shouted collecting some pink energy and blasting it at Daemon who got the full blast of it

"Justice Beam!" Shakkoumon yelled sending 2 beams of energy from his eyes. This also connected with Daemon and he fell to the ground

"Desperado Blaster!" Paildramon yelled sending out his attack at Daemon. This also connected with Gallantmons and Sakuyamons attack and blasted Daemon at a nearby tree. Suddenly Darren began to diseengrate into pieces

"D-Darren!" Kirsten started to cry watching her fiancée go from the Digital World

"Defeat him for me Kirsten and tell Ashley and Katie that I never meant to hurt them" the dark hair boy said in a whisper

"I will" Kirsten said in a slight sob

(Kirsten let go of Darren's hand and as he left the Digital World Ben and Stuart began to sob. Daemon was still lying motionless on the ground)

"Do you think we got him."? Shakkoumon whispered

"I don't know" Sliphymon whispered "But I think we should go and see

(The 3 DNA Digimon walked over to Daemon who had an evil smirk on his face)

"Think again!" he bellowed "I have got rid of one brat its time I got rid of you!" he yelled. Daemon then launched his attack at the 3 DNA Digimon who had nowhere to run. The attack came straight for them……
