"Where is Yolei?" Davis announced to the group.
"Davis calm down, the spires, remember?" Veemon grabbed Davis arm.
"You're right." Davis calmed down. "Well, our next course is obvious. We should head to Beta and rescue Izzy after Yolei gets back."
"NO!" TK angrily announced. "Gamma has my brother, and Sora too. We go there first!"
"Listen TV, TP, or whatever." Davis looked TK square in the eye. "Izzy's our best hope to save this world. Now we're going to Beta's OK?"
TK pushed Davis back. "Not ok, you jerk! Matt is my brother, I know you don't care about your sister, but my family means something!"
Davis grew angry. The spires took control. Rage filled his soul. "Why you asshole!" Davis punched TK once in the face, knocking him down.
TK jumped off the ground, wiping the blood from his lip. The spires hit him next, filling him with the same anger. "You'll pay for that!" He tackled Davis in the mid-section, and the two rolled down the street, tearing at one another.
"TK stop!" Patamon grabbed TK's arm as he wound up for another punch. Veemon grabbed Davis jacket, holding him back.
"Let me at him!" TK was still furious at Davis, he needed someway to get at him. Kari stood between them, trying to talk some sense into them. TK looked at her and smiled. "You're right Kari. We shouldn't fight, Davis. There's nothing to fight about. In fact the black spires can be quite liberating, isn't that right Kari?"
"Quiet TK, I wasn't myself!" Kari shouted at him.
"Oh come on, you know you wanted to kiss me for the longest time. Beside, who else would you want to kiss, Davis?" TK smiled at the obvious wrath filling Davis face.
Now Kari was the one who turned to rage. She probably would have attacked even without the spires' control influencing her mind. "You BASTARD!" Kari leapt forward and kicked TK in the balls. TK crumbled to the ground, grasping his sore balls.
Kari wasn't TK's only attacker. Davis in a furious spell, broke free of Veemon's grip, and started to pummel on TK's jackknifed form.
Cody, the only one who wasn't under the spires' control, took control of the situation. "Patamon! Get TK out of here before they kill him!"
Patamon nodded and quickly digivolved to Pegasusmon, shouting "Flying Hope!" as he took form. He picked up the hurting TK by the collar and flew off out of the subway station. "Good thinking, yer a smart one, Cody." Armadillomon nodded.
The fight wasn't over yet. Davis turned to Kari, "How could you sleep with that wimp!?"
"None of your business." Kari sneered.
Cody shook his head. He wasn't sure what they where talking about, being a little naïve, but he realized they were about to murder each other. "Veemon, get Davis out of here! Let's not go through that again!"
"You've got that right." Veemon was enveloped in blue lightning, "Storm of Friendship!" He roared out as Raidramon. He slung Davis over his shoulder and jumped past the toll booth station and up the stairs.
Kari, Gatomon, Armadillomon and Cody where the only ones left now. Kari was absolutely furious now at TK and Davis. She stomped around, screaming various profanities. Cody grabbed her arm, "Kari calm down, you're not acting right. I don't know what you're arguing about, but it's not worth blowing a gasket.
Kari just stomped her foot, and went on raving about TK and his big mouth. Armadillomon just looked at Cody. "We better just wait till she all calms down."
"Good idea..." Cody agreed as Kari went on.
A large solid black ebony table sat in the middle on enormous room, lighted only by a single source directly above. The table had a gold pentagon drawn on the surface, and at each of the points solid oak chairs rested. In each of the chairs a figure sat, waiting for the master to call.
"Ladydevimon never calls us together anymore." A tall figure sat rigidly in the oak chair.
"True, Beta, we have brought this pathetic planet to its knees." A gloved hand swirled brandy in a crystal glass. "These pathetic humans weren't even a minor challenge."
"I'd hold your tongue if I where you." A human hand tapped the table. "Some of these pathetic humans are among you."
"Delta, you humans aren't even worth my notice. I cannot understand why Ladydevimon even allows you in her presence, let alone the council." Alpha chuckled.
A flash of light filled the hall. Delta slowly sheathed his sword and watched Alpha. Alpha's brandy glass split in two, the top half shattering on the table. Alpha's glove was stained dark brown. Alpha looked up enraged at Delta and threw the bottom half of the glass down. "Why you insolent little cur!" Alpha reached for a weapon behind him, but a whip came from across the table and encircled his wrist.
"Now, now Alpha, calm down." Another human sat across from Alpha, holding the whip with one hand. "We know you're the most powerful among us, but Ladydevimon doesn't need power. She needs brains. That's why we were assembled."
"Gamma is right." A female voice filled the room. "We all have our armies, all we have to do is keep the population in line."
"You're right Epsilon." Alpha removed the whip from his arm and sat down. "But we haven't had any trouble since that child raised a rebellion against us."
"A mere human defying us?" Delta replied sarcastically. "It was hard to believe."
Alpha growled at Delta. Gamma shook his head. Those two would probably kill each other eventually. Why Ladydevimon put them on the council together is beyond him. Although Alpha was by far more powerful, Gamma believed Delta would be the one who walked away. Delta had a cunning that seemed to rival Ladydevimon's. Gamma spoke up finally. "Enough bickering you two, Ladydevimon should be contacting us shortly."
Suddenly a hologram appeared on the center of the table. "Speak of the devil." Epsilon remarked.
Ladydevimon chuckled. "For some people, that would just be an expression." Her transparent form waved a hand. "Enough small talk. We have a problem. It seems the digidestined have resurfaced."
"Those pathetic children?" Alpha replied. "They are scattered and have no digivices. At least the living ones." Alpha looked across the table and smirked.
Ladydevimon continued. "It seems these digidestined are from another time line. They managed to transfer themselves over to our, or should I say, my reality."
"And these phony digidestined are really a threat to us?" Gamma asked. He stretched his whip tight.
"Not in the slightest." Ladydevimon smiled. "In fact, I wish for you to bring them back to me alive. They can increase my power even more so."
"And how is that?" Delta inquired, slowly turning his sword in his hand.
"My plans are mine and mine alone." Ladydevimon replied. "You only need follow my orders." Computer screens popped out of invisible hatches from the table. "As I already told you, the digidestined we are up against are from another time line. We can use that to our advantage. There is a complete profile on the digidestined and their digimon. They are already confused, disoriented, and split up. Taking them down should be simplistic, even for you. You will have all supplies made available to you."
The council of five read their orders and reports on the digidestined. Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon seemed especially amused at their roles. Delta, in fact, was nearly doubled over in laughter. It took several seconds for him to regain his composure. Delta got up first and walked to the door. "This will be amusing."
"Davis calm down, the spires, remember?" Veemon grabbed Davis arm.
"You're right." Davis calmed down. "Well, our next course is obvious. We should head to Beta and rescue Izzy after Yolei gets back."
