Sorry it has taken me so long to get this chapter out I have been a little busy. As always I hope you like this one. Again I don't own Digimon or anything like that.
Still fuming over Dart and Noah's arrival in the maze, Leon was contemplating his place within the team. He wanted to be leader but Dart always in his way. What he needed he decided was power. Now that everyone had artifacts they were in balance again as a group. The digital world was the only place that seemed to allow him further power. Of course he went again and this time he would become more powerful then anyone could ever imagine.
Meanwhile Dart and the others were at the school lunch when they realized Leon hadn't come to school yet again. They decided to meet in the school parking lot after school then head to the digital world. Once Leon was found all the parents had calmed down. But if Leon left again they would never leave their houses if their parents found out he was missing again.
"Here we go again," said Candlemon exhausted with having to chase Leon over the digital world.
"Will he ever stop his lust for power?" asked Alraumon
"Not as long as Dart's in charge." said Noah opening his laptop.
"He's just going to have to get use to the fact that Dart is meant to be our leader." said Tapirmon floating around Noah.
"Lets just go before someone sees us," said Dart
"Digi-port open!" Tera yelled unexpectedly as they were all sucked into the portal. This time it didn't take long to find him. They landed at the edge of a dense forest. They went through the heavy undergrowth of the old trees and were scratched by thorns as they passed through it. Finally they came to an opening. In the center was an old Japanese style temple that looked as if it was going to fall down at any second. All felt something odd coming from the temple.
They opened the huge double doors and inside it was heavy with the smell of incense. A few candles were lit providing minimal light in dark temple. In the center the roof was broken and light flooded down onto the floor of temple. Kneeling within the light was Leon next to a battered and unconscious Kokuwamon. Behind them was a shrine of some sort with incense and candles around it. Standing in front of it was a tall humanoid form of a dark digimon.
"Hello digidestined." said the digimon in a charming but evil voice.
"What did you do to them?" Dart yelled.
"Patience, patience, my fire headed friend. Everything will be answered in due time." he said stepping forward into the light. He was a tall fox-like digimon with dark blue armor, and yin-yang symbols in random places.
"My name is Kuzuhamon, Dark General under Grandracmon. And I don't believe I know your names."
"Our names are unimportant! What did you do to Leon?" Dart said
"Fine, All I really need to know anyway is that you're digi-destined." he replied. He then snapped his fingers and two other figures steeped out. They wore long black cloaks that covered their faces. They couldn't see their faces but knew they were human. They each had a digimon. One had a Gizamon, a short frog with spines. The other had an Elecmon, a red with blue striped rabbit like creature. Each held a deep black D-3 and there own artifacts.
One had a lock that would never unlock called the Lock of Sorrow and the other a dark gauntlet called the Gauntlet of Destruction.
"I guess this means were going to have a fight." Dart said pulling out his Blade. Noah opened his Scroll and Tera spun her chain.
"Candlemon digivolved too...Meramon matrix digivolved too...Asuramon!"
"Tapirmon digivolved too...Dobermon matrix digivolved too...Cerberumon!"
"Alraumon digivolved too...Ninjamon matrix digivolved too...Piximon!"
"I really hate to leave you like this but, I will leave you with one thing. He came to me, he was the one who wanted to feel my power!" said Kuzuhamon stepping into the shadows and disappearing. Leaving the team with the two dark digidestined. At the same time they held out there artifacts. They glowed a deep black, and let out a stream of dark energy.
"Gizamon digivolved too...Endigomon matrix digivolved too...Antylamon!"
"Elecmon digivolved too...Flarerizamon matrix digivoved too. Triceramon!"
The two teams stared off. The dig destined had an advantage of having three to there two. Or so they thought.
"Lets get them!" Dart said as he raised his sword high. Cerberumon went ahead faster. Triceramon charged his horns lowered.
"Emerald Flame!" Cerberumon let loose a dark green flame that bounced off the shield like head of Triceramon. He barely flinched and kept charging.
"Tri-Horn Attack!" it yelled as it rammed into Cerberumon sending him into the wall. Piximon flew over Triceramon's head distracting it with Pit Bombs. Asuramon ran forward and attacked Antylamon with "Fist of Asura!" Antylamon leaped over his headed attacked with "Bunny Blade!" knocking Piximon to the floor as well. Leaving it two to one. Triceramon charged at Asuramon and tried to ram him like Cerberumon. But Asuramon was ready for it and leaped up over his head and landed on Triceramon's back. He then pounded a burning Fist of Asura straight into his back. Triceramon collapsed and crashed into a wall. Asuramon leaped off and stared into the eyes of Antylamon.
"Enough!" yelled Kuzuhamon as he reappeared in between them now with his staff in hand. The fallen digimon got up and de-digivolved back to their rookies. Asuramon and Antylamon kept their positions never averting their gazes.
"It was a good fight but there's no reason to destroy each other...yet anyway. I bid you adieu digi-destined, and I hope Leon considers my offer." Kuzuhamon and the dark digidestined disappeared into the shadows. His laughter echoed throughout the temple even after he was long gone. Asuramon de-digivolved as soon as he knew it was safe. Dart sheathed his sword as he walked up to Leon.
"What did he do to you Leon?" he said in a calm voice.
"I thought I told you not to follow me again," he said standing up for the first time since they came into the temple. Kokuwamon slowly got up and tried to show he wasn't hurt.
"I don't understand you anymore Leon. Why are you being like this we use to be friends?"
"It seems were drifting apart then," he said looking at Dart with a strangely dark smile on his face. He looked over at Tera. "You know Tera, I wouldn't get to close to this guy if you know what I mean."
"You leave her alone this is between you and me." said Dart moving in front of Leon's gaze of her. Leon turned and started to leave.
"I will be seeing you all later," he said almost laughing. Kokuwamon looked at them all in pain as if to say he was sorry and then followed his partner out of the temple. After a few minutes everyone else had left the temple and were returning home.
Noah never was a good friend with Leon but they acknowledged each other as allies. Tera felt the same way but more on the friendly side. And Dart and him use to be good friends but ever since they received their digimon they always seemed to be fighting. And now it had gotten worse. Leon's next move was going to change the very destiny of the digidestined. It was did not seem for the better.
