Well, Autumn is just around the corner and Halloween will soon be here. I should be lucky that I'm updating this story again. Before I give you Chapter 9 of "Opportunities", replies to reviewers:

Not really. After the Digidestined defeat all the Element Dragons, they'll fight against more of Kikaimon's minions so that the 22 Rookie Digimon that were previously captured can be able to acquire their Champion, Ultimate, and maybe their Mega forms. Most of their Champion and Ultimate forms are official Digimon but others are more Digimon that I made up. Anyway, I just checked out your Garfield story and I gotta say that it's the best I ever read as I always played 'Garfield: Caught In The Act' on my computer at home. I also accept your apology for taking my idea of a talking Odie. Thanks for reviewing!

Boy, are you the compulsive one. You are right about this story but it doesn't end yet. Thanks for your support.
Also, first of all, where are you, Auntie Nuriko? I haven't gotten a review from you in a long time! Anyway, here's Chapter 9.
Opportunities
Chapter 8: Reichmon VS. Umbradramon
After finding JP and witnessing him acquire his Advanced form to defeat Ikazuchidramon, Tabby was nice enough to take the Digidestined and their 11 brand new Digimon friends (despite his uncouthness) to the next destination, which was none other than the Dark Gate, the gateway to the Continent of Darkness. The gang had recently defeated 5 members of the Element Dragons after being able to Fusion Evolve. Takuya had Fusion Evolved into Aldamon and defeated Pyrodramon, the Flame Dragon, and saved Embermon, Koji had Fusion Evolved into Beowolfmon and defeated Lumieredramon, the Light Dragon, and saved Manxmon and Democromon, Tommy had Fusion Evolved into DaiPenmon and defeated Arcticdramon, the Ice Dragon, and saved Aquamon and Hydromon, Zoë had Fusion Evolved into JetSilphymon and defeated Kazedramon, the Wind Dragon, and saved Robimon, Apteryxmon, Goosemon, and Weavermon, and JP had Fusion Evolved into RhinoKabuterimon and defeated Ikazuchidramon, the Thunder Dragon, and saved Socramon and BlackSocramon. Now the only one left to acquire his Advanced hybrid was Koichi.
The Digidestined had also formed a bond with the certain Rookie Digimon that they had saved from the previous Element Dragons that they had defeated. Inside one of Tabby's carts, they were talking about what they'll do when they encounter the next Element Dragon at the Continent of Darkness. And also about how that Koichi would probably acquire his Advanced hybrid eventually to defeat the next Element Dragon, who is none other than Umbradramon. They knew that if Koichi would be able to Fusion Evolve, then all 6 Digidestined kids would soon be able to Fusion Evolve so that they would have a better chance of destroying more of Kikaimon's minions.
"4 more of the Element Dragons to go and we'll be able to save those other Rookie level Digimon that Ophanimon told us about," Koji said.
"You must be talking about our other friends; Batmon, DemiCybermon, Marinemon, Alacoomon, Frillmon, Heartromon, Orchidmon, Lemurmon, Arimon, Squawkmon, and Burrowmon," Manxmon said.
"We haven't heard from them again ever since they got captured by the other Element Dragons which are Umbradramon, Metaldramon, Mizudramon, Branchdramon, and Earthdramon," Socramon said sadly.
Suddenly, the gang heard Tabby say, "End of the line. The Dark Gate at last. Get out and see if you can look for the next Element Dragon."
The gang all got off Tabby and went through the Dark Gate into the Continent of Darkness, the place where the gang won against Petaldramon and fought against Koichi when he was Duskmon, so that they could find the next Element Dragon. They had to be careful not to talk too loud because they knew that the last time they were in the Continent of Darkness, they met up with a group of Pipismon that kept repeating what they said. Other than that, they were actually rather peaceful Digimon and were only having fun repeating what the Digidestined said. While they were walking, Koji looked over and noticed that Koichi was looking very depressed.
"What's wrong, Koichi? Is something bothering you?" Koji asked.
"I'm fine, Koji. It's just that you guys are able to Fusion Evolve after defeating the previous Element Dragons. Now I'm the only one left to do so," Koichi said.
"Don't worry, Koichi. I'm your brother. I know that you'll be able to Fusion Evolve when we face against Umbradramon. I can assure you of that," Koji said.
"Thanks, Koji. I really appreciate it," Koichi said while smiling.
Suddenly, the sound of someone yelling for help had caught the gang's attention so they ran off to find the source of the voice. When they made it to the place where they encountered Arbormon before he Slide Evolved to Petaldramon, they looked up and saw a cage confining a little Digimon. It was a bat-looking Digimon with cream-colored skin, a stubby tail, bird-like feet with claws, a blue scarf around his neck, a pilot's helmet with his ears sticking out, a pair of air force goggles over his eyes, and a pair of wings for arms that were the same length as his body. They knew that the Digimon in the cage looked very miserable and wanted to escape very badly.
-Digi-Info-
Name: Batmon
Level: Rookie
Type: Data
Attacks: Seed Cannon, Slap Wing
(Socramon) That's another one of our friends! Batmon can be heroic at times but he's rather absent-minded sometimes. It's no surprise since he sometimes fails most of his tests at school. Other than that, watch out for when he flies high in the sky because he can attack his enemies before they even strike!
-
"Oh, I'm so glad you made it! Can you please get me out of here?" Batmon asked.
Suddenly, the gang heard a loud roar and looked over to see a Digimon flying towards them. The Digimon looked like a giant dragon with black-gray skin, gray claws on his hands and feet, a pair of wings on his back that looked like they were made of pure darkness, a pair of horns on his head that looked like half moons, and gray eyes. The Digimon gave an ear-splitting roar when he spotted the Digidestined.
-Digi-Info-
Name: Umbradramon
Level: Ultimate
Type: Virus
Attacks: Yami Tornado, Shadow Apocalypse
(Batmon) It's just as I feared! Umbradramon is one of the toughest Element Dragons to defeat because he has the ability to turn himself invisible before his enemies can even lay a scratch on him. Only Digimon with the ability to foresee this ability can be able to destroy this Digimon known as the Darkness Dragon!
-
"All hail Master Kikaimon! He who is foolish to face against yours truly shall receive quite a beating!" Umbradramon shouted in a powerful voice (A lot like a southern priest's).
"I know what you're thinking, Koichi. You're gonna face against this guy, are you?" JP asked.
"That's right. You know that I'm the Warrior of Darkness. I won against that fake image of Cherubimon when I became both Lowemon and JagerLowemon," Koichi said as he pulled out his D-Tector. "And I know that I'll be able to gain more experience."
After Spirit Evolving into Lowemon, he was ready to fight against Umbradramon and was determined to save Batmon from the Darkness Dragon's clutches. Lowemon attacked first with a Shadow Meteor attack but Umbradramon smirked as he simply disappeared out of sight just as Lowemon's attack merely went through the spot where Umbradramon once stood. Lowemon was very confused about where Umbradramon went and turned around to find he went off to. Unbeknownst to Lowemon, Umbradramon reappeared behind the Warrior of Darkness and fired a Yami Tornado, opening his mouth and firing a spiraling vortex of purple-black energy that struck Lowemon from behind causing him to yell in great pain.
"That's a cheap shot!" Lowemon yelled in anger.
"Tut, tut, Warrior of Darkness. I would not call it a cheap shot, I would actually call it superior luck," Umbradramon smirked.
"See if this scares you!" Lowemon shouted as he was covered with bands of Fractal Code.
Soon, JagerLowemon stood in his place and he was ready to try again to fight against Umbradramon. JagerLowemon leapt into the air and fired an Ebony Blast attack at Umbradramon but he disappeared again causing the attack to hit a tree. JagerLowemon looked around in confusion about where Umbradramon went.
"Where are you hiding, you coward?" JagerLowemon asked.
"Here I am! Shadow Apocalypse!" Umbradramon then spread out his wings as they glowed dark purple before unleashing a really huge beam of negative energy that struck JagerLowemon causing him to scream in great pain as he reverted back into Koichi again.
"No! Koichi!" Koji shouted in horror as he ran to help his fallen brother but JP quickly held him back.
"You can't go out there, Koji! You'll get blasted to smithereens!" JP shouted.
"I don't care! Just let me go, JP!" Koji shouted as he freed himself from JP's grip and ran towards the battle.
"Awwwwwwww, isn't that sweet? The Light Warrior actually wants to join his brother," Umbradramon crooned.
"I knew that this would happen," Batmon said while covering his eyes with his wings in horror.
Suddenly, a miracle happened; a black-gray glow came from the cage that Batmon was confined in. The black-gray glow then floated from the cage and floated in the air. Then, a beam of black-gray light shot out and entered Koichi's D-Tector causing him to be covered in black-gray energy then be instantly healed. When the glow died down, it was a black-gray stone that had the Kanji symbol of Darkness adorned on it in black and it went into Koichi's D-Tector.
"What?" Umbradramon asked.
"Let's see if you can be able to handle this now, Umbradramon!" Koichi shouted as he held out his D-Tector, as the Kanji symbol of Darkness appeared on the screen. "Execute now! Fusion Evolution!"
The Human and Beast Spirits of Darkness encircled Koichi before transforming him into a Digimon that looked like a cross between Lowemon and JagerLowemon having Lowemon's head, arms, and lower body, JagerLowemon's chest, a pair of wings on his back colored gold, and held a staff in both hands. When he landed on the platform, he tilted his staff to the left before firing a red cross-shaped beam at the screen.
"Reichmon!"
"Oh my! It's the Legendary Advanced Warrior of Darkness, Reichmon!" Bokomon said while reading in his book.
-Digi-Info-
Name: Reichmon
Level: Hybrid
Type: Variable
Attacks: Dark Spear, Red Cross, Black Theorem
Info: This Digimon is the result of the Human and Beast Spirits of Darkness being combined together. Although he is born from darkness, he is both a champion and a hero. He is believed to be feared by the forces of evil because he will surround them in their own weapon, the Darkness.

"Reichmon, huh? Show me what you've got! I'll just turn invisible before your pathetic attacks hit me!" Umbradramon shouted, laughing.
"Foul spirit of the Digital World, be prepared to fall before Darkness! Dark Spear!" Reichmon pulled out his spear and threw it at Umbradramon as it struck him in the chest causing him to scream in great pain.
"Damn! I shouldn't have let my guard down!" Umbradramon yelled in anger.
While Umbradramon was busy clutching his wounded chest, Reichmon flew in and retaliated with a Red Cross attack, firing a red cross-shaped beam of energy from his chest that blasted Umbradramon into the wall. Umbradramon was very angry that he fired a Yami Tornado attack at Reichmon but he quickly used his spear to block off the attack. Taking advantage of Umbradramon's fear, Reichmon then prepared for his final attack.
"Now it's time to finish you for good! Black Theorem!" Reichmon raised his arms into the air as if he was summoning a monster causing a black mystical symbol to appear underneath Umbradramon before a bunch of mathematical characters leapt out and started strangling him to death.
"AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGH! MARK MY WORDS, REICHMON! I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS SOMEDAY!" Umbradramon screamed as he got strangled by Reichmon's attack before his Fractal Code appeared.
"Umbradramon, because of your black heart, your cockiness has resulted in this," Reichmon said as he pulled out his D-Tector. "So, soul of the unpurified, say goodbye! Fractal Code Digitize!" He took away the Fractal Code turning Umbradramon into a Digi-Egg that flies off in the distance.
As soon as Umbradramon's Digi-Egg flew away, the cage confining Batmon disappeared as he happily did loop-de-loops in the air. Batmon happily landed on Reichmon's staff and thanked him for saving him from Umbradramon's wrath. With that said and done, Reichmon soon reverted back into Koichi just as Batmon landed on the ground. The others were very happy that Koichi was able to acquire his Advanced Hybrid and defeat Umbradramon.
"Well done, Koichi. I had faith in you all along. I'm very proud of you," Koji said while smiling.
"Thanks, Koji. Now that all 6 of us are able to do Fusion Evolution, we'll have a better chance of facing against the other Element Dragons," Koichi said.
The gang knew that they still had work to do so they all exited the Continent of Darkness and met up with Tabby. Tabby was very happy to hear that all 6 Digidestined now had the ability to do Fusion Evolution. Soon, Tabby was on the way to the gang's next destination, the Steel Terminal.
To Be Continued….
12 Rookie Digimon found and 10 more to find as well as 6 Element Dragons down and 4 more to go. Now that all 6 Digidestined kids have the ability to Fusion Evolve, Kikaimon will have to kiss his plans goodbye now. Read and review!
