Denneylaw:

To some, what happened to T.R. should be pretty obvious, but I'm sorry to say that I will not give any info away til it's revealed in the story, sorry. On the way, I have hopefully answered all of your reviews, and thank you in advance for all your reviews.

Quote of the Day: Patrick Starr: "Hey, who turned the heavy back on!"

X-Evolution Begins-Chapter XXII:

Lucemon is seen crouching down in a dark room. It's so dark, you could trip on your own feet. "Ever since my last defeat, I sworn that I'd get revenge. The D-Reaper program was supposed to wipe out everything in sight, so I can secretly rebuild it in my image, making it into a paradise. Reapermon made it so that my victory was assured, than I convinced the Soverns and their protectors that humans were evil. Somehow, Azulongmon saw right through that, giving a group of brats the power to stop the D-Reaper. There is no way I will accept defeat now, not when I'm so close to my goal."

"Wake up!" Patamon said to Brendan. "..Ah..." Brendan opened his eyes and saw Patamon, looking at him. "Brendan just got up!" Patamon shouted, as Bokomon and Neemon came up to him. "Where's everyone! Where's May!" Brendan found the others, fainted on the ground. "May..!" He ran up to his sister. "They just fainted... they'll wake soon..." Bokomon reassured him. "What should we do now?" asked Patamon. "First of all, we have to nurse them back to health." Replied Bokomon. "Where are we now?" "I have no idea.." Neemon said.

Brendan looked up into the sky and found that they were in the hole. "I'll go look for someone for help!" He said and started to climb the wall. "It's strange.. There isn't much air.." Suddenly, the rock broke and Brendan fell off the wall. However, he jumped and went up to the top of the wall as if he was flying. He noticed that the two Moons were closer. Then, Starmon came riding a vehicle. They helped the Children and left for the Moon Base. "We are on the moon?" "Yeah, it's one of the 3 Moons in the Digital World." Starmon explained. "That's why I could jump like I was flying." "What do you mean?" Patamon asked Brendan. "I mean, there's not much gravity. By the way, how did we come to the Moon?"

"We saw the distortion of space at the observatory. You came here through it." Starmon answered. "Anyway, I'm glad you are OK. You got no visual injury." Bokomon said. "Yeah.. but why only me..?" Brendan asked. "You got lucky." Neemon said. Then the car arrived at the Moon Base. They took everyone to the medical room. "They will be OK soon. The commander is calling you." Brendan, Bokomon, Neemon and Patamon went to the operating room.

There were many Starmon researching space. Then a Digimon who was looking into the telescope glanced back and said, "Hi, I'm the Commander - SuperStarmon! I want to ask you something. What's happening in the Digital World?" "The Royal Knights are getting the Datas to revive Lucemon," Brendan explained. "What!"

Meanwhile, the Royal Knights sent Lucemon the Data. "By the way, Master Lucemon, do you remember the promise?" Crusadermon asked. "Of course, I do. Don't worry. You guys are strange. Why do you want to go to the Real World?" "To control it. We want the Datas of the Humans!" Dynasmon answered.

In another far off area, Misty woke up and noticed that her Togepi had wandered off. Her screams of panic, woke up the others nearby. After waking up, Drew offered to help out by sending his Masquerain out to scout around. As they waited in worry, they decided to sit and talk about each other. "So, Misty, have you ever considered joining the Pokemon beauty competition and become a master coordinator?" asked Drew. "I'm thinking about it, you think I could win?" she asked. "Maybe better than May was, she came real close though. Of course, no one is better than I." Just then, Masquerain returned and confirmed his location. They, along with Steven and Wally, who came to just now, quickly followed. Misty really hoped that Togepi was all right, especially with such dangerous monsters moving about.

Back on the Moon, Ash, Gary, Max, Brock and May were healed and were surprised that they were on the Moon. "Hey, we have to hurry and get back to the Digital World to save it!" Bokomon said. "But how can we go back there?" "SuperStarmon said there's no terminal here." Patamon answered. Max said, "We can't go back there?" "No! There must be a way to return!" Ash cheered them up.

Just then, from the shadows, Reapermon saw an opportunity to put the X-Chip to good use. He threw it and the chip attached itself to the back of the head of Starmon, transforming him into NeoStarmon. With glowing red eyes, he now sported a shape like Starmie instead of like Staryu anymore. He had a long yellow ribbon headband and six belt straps of some sort on each leg. A gold star on the top part of his boots and three on each glove on his hand. His outfit is blue and striped red.

Meanwhile, the others started to think about how to go back to the Digital World. "Let's try everything we can!" Ash said. They left the Moon Base and evolved into Digimon. "OK, let's start!" Agunimon said. They shot their special attacks into space, on the other side of the Moon. However, nothing happened. "What did you want to do?" MetalKabuterimon asked Agunimon. "Well, I thought we can propel the Moon by shooting the attacks." They all were stupefied at his plan, and started to try their own methods.
Kumamon tried to jump to the Digital World, however, he couldn't reach it. "Stop it. I'll try!" KendoGarurumon said and jumped into space. Suddenly, an electro-stream occured, and he fell down.
"What happened!" He asked. "It's the electro stream, which is like a river of the 3 Moons. It's impossible to get over it." Insekimon appeared and explained. "But we must have crossed it to arrive here." Kazemon said. "No, we didn't. We came here through the distortion of space which was made by the Royal Knights' attack." Löwemon said. "Ah.. I'm worried.." Burgermon said anxiously. They were friends of the Burgermon who the children met before at the Village of Burgermon, and they were worried about them. "They came from here? How did they go to the Digital World?" Kazemon asked. "They made a rocket!" They replied. "I got it!" MetalKabuterimon said and started to make a plan.

"Hey, are you sure it's not dangerous?" Agunimon said, while in MetalKabuterimon's cannon. "Trust me! Count down! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.. FIRE!" He shot Agunimon to the sky. However, he didn't reach the Digital World and fell down. "I.. I made a mistake?" MetalKabuterimon said and checked the equations he had done. "Hey, Agunimon! Let's try again!" "I will never do it again!" Agunimon shouted angrily. They started to look for something useful, as a vessel to the Digital World. Löwemon found a rocket.

Just then, out of nowhere, NeoStarmon attacked and no one seemed to know why. Of course, this was the first time anyone noticed the strange new form he took on. "Odd as this may be, I've never seen a Starmon like this before." explained Bokomon. "Nor will you, ever again." Reapermon said, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "He has been enhanced by X-Evolution, a power unlike any other you have ever seen before. Even something as pathetic as a Kunemon enhanced with this power will take you all on." taunted Reapermon.

"Meteor Champion!" NeoStarmons' newly enhanced attack was aimed at the rocket. Each meteor was twice the size of his normal attack. As a stray meteor headed toward the rocket, Lowemon tried to intercept it with his own attack. "Shadow Meteor!" It was successful. "I'll take him!" yelled Beetlemon as he closed in for his attack. "Thunder Fist!" NeoStarmon didn't even flinch. "Is that the best you got?" he yelled. He then grabbed his arm and threw him a great distance. It seemed bad, no one knew what to do next. Then it got worse when he was smashed into the rocket. "Now what?" asked Agunimon. Suddenly, flying from behind NeoStarmon, Patamon noticed the glowing chip on his back and went to inform the others. "Guys, try aiming for the strange glowing chip on his back." he explained. The others agreed, and tried to aim for his back, but of course, NeoStarmon was not making it easy for them. "Mind Scan!" he scanned one of their minds and prepared himself. "So, you know my secret, huh? Well, bring it on!" He scanned the mind of what Beetlemon was gonna do and turned around as he reached his back, only to have them stare face to face. NeoStarmon grabbed his legs and hurled him away. Agunimon noticed how he had to scan one mind at a time and tried to take that to his advantage. Just as Kazemon tried to attack his back, he quicky turned to face her. This was exactly the break Agunimon needed, but he had to act fast. With all his might, he Pyro Punched the chip on his back, and thankfully, it came off on the first try. Reapermon cursed them and teleported back down to earth.

One problem taken care of, but without a rocket, they were stranded. Just then, a Burgermon came and led them to another one where he said, "That's one of the rockets which my friends made for the experiment to go to the Digital World. It was one of our backup ones in case the first one did not work." "Is it still working?" asked Kazemon. "Yes." "OK, let's try this!" They pulled it out together. Then, they made a slingshot from the Starmon's vehicles' wheel-material. Kumamon thought that the rocket could be shot by it. Everything was ready. "Thanks for everything!" they all said. "Please save the Digital World." "Of course!" The Warriors changed back into their human form and got on the rocket. SuperStarmon launched the rocket.

However, the acceleration was not enough and the rocket was falling. "I'll go!" Ash digivolved into Burning Greymon and the rocket flew up again with his attack. They got over the electro-stream. However, the rocket's wing was broken by hitting a meteor, and it stopped in space. "What should I do now." he asked. Suddenly, something bumped against the rocket. "What!" Trailmon was moving the rocket, which had fallen on a Trailmon track. "Please! Please push it to the ground!" May whined. "Huh? Uh.. OK." The Trailmon (Mole) started to push it, as they descended back into the Digital World.

Meanwhile, Misty and her group followed Masquerain to a forest filled with colorful eggs. Misty can see how Togepi could EASILY get lost there. As they entered, Misty tried to touch a Digiegg, but then, she was almost hit by a feather. "Who's there!" Drew shouted. "Please don't touch the Digieggs!" A Digimon came and said sharply.

DU-DU-DUN. I'm sorry I had to end it there. My other chapters are still in progress, I don't get a lot of free time, so please, bear with me. I can guarantee that I could have this all done at least, by the end of this year, and before anyone questions why Drew said May did not win, remember, this story was set BEFORE Ash's Gym battle with Wallace. Any mistakes I made might be fixed after I post my next chapter. C's and F's welcome. Hope to have more soon.
