Later! And thanks to all the readers that have read this ) i'm just glad it was good enough to waste your time. ok ok enough of me blabberin On WitThe Fic!

"Whoa," everybody said at the sight of Emperor Greymon (A/N: ok, when i checked to see if Emperor Greymon existed it had the season 4 one, but since that was Takuya spirit evolving, he's not entirely digimon, so my Emperor Greymon is the supreame digivolution of Agumon). He had bright silver armor with a black cape. A silver helmet covered his face, but revealed his glowing eyes. His deadly blade was a pitch black, but had every crest on its blade and silver hilt. Last, the Crest of Choice dwelled on his chest plate.

"He looks so familiar," Kari said.

"I know, it's like deja vu," Sora thought aloud.

"Emprissmon!" Emperor Greymon said forcefully. "The terror that you have bestowed on the digital world is over!"

"I should've destroyed you while I had the chance!" Emprissmon said coldly. Emperor Greymon stood in fighting stance, he had fought her before, and knew she didn't fight fair. She smirked in response, although she was a bit scared of the digimon before her, she couldn't show it. She had to remain strong. "What are you waiting for?" she asked calmly.

"You know me better than that Emprissmon, I never make the first move." he replied.

"Fine, I guess I'll start this show," a black aura formed around her as she said this. "ROSE DART!" the rose darted toward it's target, but with lightning speed Emperor Gryemon dodged it. This took Emprissmon by surprise, but with the same speed he lunged at her with his sword ready to kill.

"JUDGEMENT JOUST!" he cried, but Emprissmon dodged his attack. But the fight was far from over. Since the Heir had her thorn whip she couldn't use her most powerful attack, and that was a problem.

"ROSE DART!" she cried, Emperor Greymon caught the black rose in his hand and crushed it.

"RADIANT SABER!" A bright beam of light radiated from his black sword, and shot at Emprissmon. She gazed at it with horror as it knocked her to the ground. She snarled, but if you can't win fairly; cheat. She stood up, eyes gleaming mischiviously, and she moved so quickly that she was invisable for a short amount of time. She grabbed Tai and her thorn whip, and and slapped a hand over his mouth, which he struggled against.

"If you want to kill me Emperor Greymon, you'll have to kill your precious partner as well." She said smirking. Emperor Greymon looked at her, hate and rage in his eyes, and reluctantly dropped his sword to the ground. She roughly grabbed her thorn whip from Tai's grasp, and flung it at all the digimon, sending all but Emperor Greymon back to their rookie forms. Tai saw this, and knew it was now up to him. She dug her claws into his skin, small strams of blood flowed down his arms, causing a small yelp to escape his mouth, but also made his eyes begin to glow. He narrowed his eyes, and the silver aura reappeared around him. He quickly shadow-orbed to the ground, his hands engulfed with bright silver embers.

"Oh, so the tourch has been passed to you huh, well I'll take you out and that will leave your friends defenceless." Tai kept his fighting position, knowing she would make the first move. "Well, let's not put this off any longer shall we." Emprissmon flew at him so fast she disappeared for a second. Tai smirked, and in the blink of an eye moved to the side, and she nearly crashed into a wall. She turned around and saw him smirking. "You know that smirk of your's is really starting to test my patience," she said with venom in her voice.

"Good," he replied with his arms crossed. She decided not to take him lightly, he might be young, but his powers were far greater than hers. An idea fianlly clicked in her head, all she needed to do was catch him off guard. She floated up to the ceiling, knowing that Tai would follow. Tai watched her float toward the ceiling. She's up to something he thought. He ran over to a corner in the wall and jumped from one wall to the next, scaling up the wall. He jumped onto one of the support beams and looked through the shadows for his foe. He looked up and saw her grinning evily.

"Surprise," she said as she kicked him in the chest hard enough to force him through the now broken support beam. He hit the floor hard and slowly got up shaking his head slightly. Emprissmon saw her chance and grabbed his wrists, pinning him to the wall. "Doesn't this bring back memories," she said smirking as Tai continued to struggle. "The way we nearly destroyed you, it's such a sweet memory."

"How could you betray us!" Tai demanded angrily, he stopped struggling and his eyes stopped glowing.

"Betray you," she started laughing," you didn't honestly think we were on your side did you?" she said still chuckling. "Let me tell you our plan. When you met Meg, you and some of the other Sages were on a quest to find the remaining Sages. Meg was one of them, so that worked out nicely. Piedmon, Meg, and myself hatched a plan to earn your trust.

FLASHBACK (A/N: these were their past lives)

Piedmon roughly threw Tai into a iorn cage, and as he left he smiled evily. Now, if the plan works, the Empriss will try to gain the Heir's trust, and I will let them escape using their powers. Overtime the bond between them and the other Sages will grow strong, and then we will attack the Sages and force the Heir to turn dark. This is brilliant.

Tai sat up and looked at his surroundings, nothing much to see though. "Ok, where am I?" he asked himself.

"You're in one of Piedmon's fortresses." a kind voice said from the shadows. Tai turned around and met the scarlet red eyes of a girl his age with bright red hair, a black tank top and jeans. "Sorry if I surprised you, but I've been in here a few days and talking to the walls has been getting really boring, since they never answer back it's like..." she trailed off giggling a little," it's like talking to a wall I guess." Tai couldn't help but laugh a little, he was glad that there was at least a friendly face where ever it was he was. "Oh, and here I've been rambling on and on and I haven't even given you my name yet have I, I'm Meg." she flashed him a warm smile.

"I'm Tai," he replied giving her the same smile. "And do you know why Piedmon's captured us?" he asked.

"Truthfully, I'm clueless about why I'm here, as well as how I got here." she rested her head in her hands and sat on a wooden crate that was in their cell.

"The same goes for me," Tai said looking around the prison. A glittering image caught Meg's eye as she looked at the boy before her.

"Is that an Elemental Crest?" she asked in awe.

"Yea," he said smiling. She suddenly pulled out an Elemental Crest from under her shirt. Both their eyes grew wide. "No way!" they said at the same time.

"Do you think this is why we're here?" Meg asked walking over to him.

"It could be, but why just us, I mean I was with the other Sages, why just take me." he asked himself.

"Hmm...I see what you mean. But wait, back up, you were with the other Sages," her eyes wide with curiosity and a wide smile on her face. Tai nodded. "Well, what are they like?" she asked curiously.

He laughed a little. "What's so funny," she asked cocking her head slightly.

"You kind of sounded like me or my twin sister." he replied.

The two talked for hours, they learned they had much in common with one another. Somehow it seemed they had met before but didn't know it. Eventually they both fell asleep. When she was sure Tai was asleep Meg quietly walked outside the cage and locked it back up. Piece of cake she thought. She ran down the corridors until she found the two people she was looking for.

"How did it go Empriss?" Piedmon asked.

"Smoothly," she replied," I have to admit, it will be great having him rule by my side. He is quite charming." she said smirking.

"Don't get too attached Meg, remember if he doesn't agree you will have to get rough." Emprissmon warned.

"Oh I know, but I have a right to at least like the boy don't I?" she said smugly.

"I suppose. But what have you found out about him?" she asked.

"I have learned that he cares deeply for his friends and family, he is also the Sage of Fire, he already knows much about each Sage, and I made him slip that he likes a member of the Sages, but he wouldn't tell me who." she said sitting in one of the large leather chairs.

"Well done Empriss," Piedmon said. "But if I were you I'd get back to that cell, morning arrives shortly." Meg nodded. "And remember the escape plan tonight."

"How could I forget?" she replied and with that she headed back to the cell.

That's how it all started.

END FLASHBACK

"You see Tai, she never really cared for you," Emprissmon said coldly. She grabbed chin and pulled it so their eyes met. Tai's were brimming with tears, but he was determined ot hold them back. "After all," she said grabbing him around the neck,"who could care for someone like you," as she finished those words she threw him on the ground, making him skid across the floor. She smirked at the hurt look he had on his face. It wasn't physical pain, though, Meg ment a lot to each Sage and it hit them all extreamly hard when she betrayed them. She took out her vine whip, which was back in her possession, and was about to strike him with it, when she felt the temperature around her drop. She spun around and saw Matt, his eyes were glowing an icey blue. She smirked and lunged at him, but a powerful wind blew her to the side.

"Thanks for watching my back, I owe you one." Matt told Sora as she joined the sceane.

"No problem," she replied. But then she remembered what happened to Tai. She ran over to him, he was sitting up and shaking his head to get his vision cleared. "You ok?" she asked him.

"Yea I'm fine." he said standing up.

"Oh, well I'll fix that," Emprissmon said comming over to the three. (A/N: to...three... haha that's funny...well sorta shrugs)"ROSE DART!" She was sure she had them this time, but Tai narrowed his eyes, and to Matt and Sora's surprise they turned orange, and the rose burst into flames.

"Tai how did you do that?" Matt asked. Tai pointed at an Elemental Crest hanging around his neck.

"You're a Sage too?" Sora exclaimed.

"Yep," Tai replied. When suddenly a bolt of lightning struck Emprissmon. She, Matt, Sora and Tai turned their heads and saw Izzy running up to them.

"Sorry I'm late guys." he said after catching his breath.

"Better late than never." Tai replied. Emprissmon had had enough of the elements standing in her way. She swooped down and grabbed Matt by the neck.

"Let me go," he said struggling. She tightened her grip and he started gasping for air.

"You will be the first to die," she said triumphantly. Just when she thought things were finally turning her way, the earth began to tremble, and dark green vines started reaching for her. She managed to dodge all of them but one, which wrapped around her ankle and started dragging her down. She lost her grip on Matt and he was shadow-orbed safely to the ground. He took in a few deep breaths, then looked up to see Mimi running toward them, her eyes glowing bright green.

"Thanks Mimi," he said grinning at her. She blushed a little.

"Well I couldn't just let you die like that." she replied modestly. The ground started shaking violently again, and Emprissmon flew through the floor with pure rage in her eyes.

"That's it!" she screamed,"I'm sick of you digidestined, I'm going to kill all of you, so say your last words." Tai's eyes suddenly widened.

"Guys grab on to something," he said quickly. Everyone gave him a confused look, but turned their heads and saw a huge wave headed toward all of them. They ran toward the wall, and Tai, Matt, and Izzy grabbed onto some of the lower candelabras, Sora wrapped her arms around Tai's waist, and Mimi did the same to Matt. The wave hit with a great force, making all the didgidestined nearly loose their grip. When the wave passed it completly disappeared leaving the digidestined soaked. "Well that was the best water ride I've ever been on," Tai said laughing a little.

"This is not funny Tai," Mimi yelled,"These clothes were dry-clean only!"

"Hey wait, this is salt water," Izzy said, interrupting Mimi's clothing dilema.

"How did salt water end up here, we're not exactly near a beach?" Sora asked.

"That would be my doing," Joe said running up to them. "I thought if we soaked her, she might melt like the witch did in The Wizard of Oz." He shrugged.

"A little water can't keep me down," Emprissmon said smirking. "But I'm glad you got those last words out," she took out a sharp silver dagger with a black rose on it," because all of you are dead!" she was about to throw the dagger at them, but instead was interrupted by a burst of pink and yellow light. Emprissmon saw the light through the corner of her eye, and quickly put a black magical sheild up for her own protection. Kari and TK came running to the group with their hands linked. Tai and Matt smirked, but decided to grill them later.

"Guys, me and Kari have the same element," TK said when they got to the group.

"And when we use them together they're twice as strong!" Kari finished. "Oh, and our powers brought back some friends." Their digimon suddenly appeared back to their Ultimate/Mega form, except Emperor Greymon, who stayed at the Surpreme level.

"Well, let's give it our all now," their digimon said. All the digidestined nodded.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm not letting this witch beat us," Tai said looking at all his friends. "Who's with me?" Kari put her hand in the middle of the circle they had made.

"We'll let the light shine through no matter what."

"Hope is the light that shines through the darkness."

"Reliability is having others trust you enough so that they depend on you."

"Sincerity is having the honesty to tell others what's on your mind, good or bad."

"Knowledge is using your wisdom to help others when it's needed."

"Friendship is caring enough about your friends to do whatever you can to help them."

"Love is a strong emotion caused by a close friend or family, and caring enough about them to do whatever it takes to keep them safe."

"Courage is having the strength inside to face your fears in times of danger and act upon them. And Choice is making tough decisions and taking the pros and cons from each one, also making decisions to help those you care about."

After they each put their hand in the small circle, a brillant light shot through the ground, knocking them all backwards.

"Whoa!" Matt said.

"What is it?" Mimi asked.

"It looks like a bow," Izzy said looking at it. But no one was more wide-eyed than Tai.

"I remember this," he said standing up and walking closer to where it floated in the light."The bow of Choice and the arrows of Truth." he whispered. He walked towards it and gently put his hand on the black curved wood. As he did the light dropped and the bow fell in his hand. It had a silver area where the arrows would lock, and all the crest symbols going from one tip to the other, with a silver string. As he looked at it closer a quiver filled with silver glowing arrows appeared over his shoulder.

"That's one of the arrows we saw in one of the memories." Mimi said looking at the case of arrows.

"She's right," Joe said.

"Tai , do you even know how to use that?" Matt asked.

"Use it?" Tai started smirking," I made it, although it has been a while. Maybe I should give it a test shot." He looked around the castle and noticed a crack in the stones about the size of a dime, he pulled out an arrow and shot in right in the middle. Everyone's eyes grew wide and they looked at Tai like he was from another planet. He shrugged and looked back at his friends.

"Told ya," he said smirking. "But now I think we should get back to our main problem." Everyone snapped out of their daze and nodded. "But last time," he started closing his eyes, "my magic needed something else to banish them," he reopened his eyes and looked at his friends," I need you guys to put as much of your magic as you can into my arrows." Each of their eyes began to glow and multi color auras formed around them, they slowly morphed together to create a stream of rainbow colors, and then were absorbed by the silver arrows, which were now shimmering different colors. The way the sun reflects on glass. Tai picked up one of the new arrows and spun it between his finger tips, you could just feel how much power were in the arrows. "You guys ready?" he asked all the digimon partners.

"You bet we are," Metal G. replied. A chours of answers rung through the walls, all agreeing with Metal G. Each digidestined joined their partners and rushed toward the battlefield. Sora quickly grabbed Tai's arm before he left, giving the others a head start, and kissed him on the lips. Tai was taken back by this, but kissed her back once he got over his shock.

"Promise you'll be careful." she more demanded than requested.

"When am I not," he joked. She lightly punched him on the arm. "Yes, I promise." She smiled at him, and then ran over to where Garudamon was waiting. Tai also ran toward Emperor Greymon. "This is it Emperor Greymon, we can really get rid of her this time." he yelled to his partner over the rushing wind.

"I'm behind you 100 Tai," he replied.

"Same here, so let's do this!"

"CELESTIAL ARROW!"

"ANGEL ROD!"

"ELECTRO SHOCKER!"

"FLOWER CANNON!"

"VULCAN"S HAMMER!"

"WING BLADE!"

"METAL WOLF SNOUT!"

"JUDGEMENT JOUST!"

Emprissmon was able to grab Angewomon's arrow, but Magna Angemon's attack came so fast that it hit her, causing her to stumble backwards. Then Mega Kabuterimon's attack hit her, making her loose concentration on the battle, and every attack hit her. The attack power made her collapse to the ground, exhausted and injured.

"How? How were these wretched kids able to beat me again?" she asked herself. She looked up and saw Tai standing before her, anger flickering in his eyes.

"You don't know anything Emprissmon, you thought that you learned from your mistakes, but you didn't, you just made the same ones and added new ones to them. As you said earlier," he smirked," I should've gotten rid of you when I had the chance."

"HA, you don't have the guts to kill me, if you did, you would've done it by now." His eyes flickered dangerously. "And you call yourself the Bearer of Courage." Tai's eyes began to glow and at the speed of light launched a glowing arrow from his bow into her chest. She seemed very surprised, but she wasn't deleted just yet. "You may have won the battle Sages, but the war is far from over!" she proclaimed as her body began to disenegrate in black data.

"Is she gone?" Matt asked coming next to his best friend. Tai stared at where she had just been a moment before.

"I-I don't know," he said turning to his friends," but if she does, we can take her."

"Right, cuz we're a team," Kari said hugging her brother. The same cyclone of wind appeared around Tai, and he returned to normal.

"Let's get out of here, I'm sure Genni is wondering what happened to us," Izzy said. Everyone nodded, and started walking out of the black castle. But as they left a pair of glowing red eyes followed them, and disappeared.

Back in the Real World

"What a long and boring day at school," a voice said. The girl plopped down on her bed and looked out the window. She looked around her average room, but stopped when she got to her computer. There was something glowing on it. She stood up and walked toward it, three items layed next to her computer, a gold ring with black spirals on it, a strange necklace with a polished surface with a red backround and a black spiraling heart, and a black device with a glowing screen on it. "What are these things?" she asked the air.

"Those are some of the legendary items of the Digital World." a voice behind her answered. The girl spun around but saw no one.

"Who-what are you?" she asked the voice.

"I am Emprissmon, and I am a digimon." she replied.

"Well, what do you want with me?" she asked with a bit of fear in her voice.

"Meg, you probably don't remember me, but if you touch that black digivice, everything will become clear to you, such as why you have those dreams." the voice replied.

"How do you know about my dreams?" Meg asked.

"I know because I was with you when you lived them." she replied. Meg looked glanced around her room for a second, and then it hit her, she was in my dream! So she hesitantly held out her hand to the black digivice, and her eyes began glowing red.
