General Zargon: here is chapter sixteen!

Ryuuketsu: and what's worse is that you started this chapter right after you finished the last one

General Zargon:-shifty eyes-I told you not to tell anyone

Ryuuketsu:-sigh- here is the chapter

Shadowweregarurumon looked around uneasily as he sprinted through the forest of illusions 'I don't have a good feeling about this' shadowweregarurumon thought nervously as he picked up his pace, from his place against shadowweregarurumon Takato could tell that something was wrong "um hey shadowweregarurumon how much longer til' we're out of this forest?" Takato asked nervously as his question was answered with a sharp "not much longer" Takato took one last look around.

Shadowweregarurumon was going at top speed by now and he could see that they were almost out of the forest when something hit them from the side sending them sprawling, shadowweregarurumon was on his feet in an instant and he wasn't to happy either.

The digimon who attacked them stepped out of the shadows, he was clad in dark armor from his chest to his toes, he had on a black chest plate and attached to it were thick shoulder guards that led down to thick arm guards, the only parts of his body that were unarmored were his hands and his head, his hair was a very deep black with streaks of dark gray and his eyes were dark gray.

Takato looked at the digimon as he and shadowweregarurumon stared each other down, recovering from his shock Takato found his d-ark and held it up and the stats said:

Name: darkpaladinmon

Group: dark warrior

Type: virus

Level: mega

Attacks: dark double edge, dark blade, night cut

Takato stared at his d-ark 'mega! This guys a mega!' Takato thought as darkpaladinmon moved to attack only to be knocked back by shadowweregarurumon's 'full moon kick' Takato squeezed his eyes shut and thought desperately 'nightmaremon please help I'm sorry I disobeyed you!' with that Takato felt a burning sensation in his ankle, he had forgotten about the holy ring!.

At the castle-----------------

Nightmaremon froze in the middle of the hall as he heard in his mind 'nightmaremon please help I'm sorry I disobeyed you!' nightmaremon snapped out of it as he recognized the voice instantly 'Takato!' nightmaremon thought as he ran over to the nearest window and suddenly he glowed a black light and a pair of pitch black bat wings appeared on his back, the bottom of the skin in between the joints looked like it had been ripped up, jumping out the window nightmaremon spread his wings to they're full length.

Beating his wings, nightmaremon cut through the air towards where he sensed Takato was 'Takato I'm on my way just hang in there' nightmaremon thought as he increased his speed towards the forest of illusions.

With Takato--------------------------------------------------------

Shadowweregarurumon got knocked to the ground by darkpaladinmon's 'dark double edge' and was struggling to get up when darkpaladinmon readied his sword for the final strike when a blazing white light caught his attention and that caused him to pause with his sword an inch away from shadowweregarurumon's skull.

Takato watched in horror as shadowweregarurumon was knocked down and that horror turned into blinding anger as darkpaladinmon moved in for the kill, unbeknownst to Takato he began to glow a blazing white light as his anger boiled, feeling his anger rise Takato found the strength to stand up and gather the energy surrounding him into one blast, Takato pulled his arms back and shouted "heaven's star!" with that he threw the energy at darkpaladinmon.

The blast hit its mark and darkpaladinmon was thrown through some trees before he finally skidded to a halt on the ground 10 yards away 'what is he? He is very powerful' darkpaladinmon thought as he slowly stood up it was then that he sensed nightmaremon approaching at a very fast speed, sensing this darkpaladinmon hurriedly made his escape.

Nightmaremon landed just in time to see Takato fall down panting and shadowweregarurumon get up and limp over to him, nightmaremon ran over to Takato and asked "are you alright?" Takato just nodded and collapsed to the ground as shadowweregarurumon said "master Takato saved my life by blowing that digimon off of me my lord" nightmaremon nodded and said "give me a full report later" shadowweregarurumon nodded and helped get Takato off the ground.
