Chapter 3: Rise and Fall of the Digidestined

"Crest Digivolution!"

"Digi-Armor Energize!"

"Spirit Evolution!"

Tai, Davis and Takuya were surrounded by fire, burning away their clothes. The fire solidified against their skin, forming armor and changing flesh.

Tai emerged as a warrior dragon. His hands were covered in metal claws. A shield on his back bore the sun-like Crest of Courage. He swung his claws, yelling, "Doragon Samurai no Yuuki, WarGreymon!"

Davis emerged as a large blue dinosaur. He was covered in flame armor. The back of his vest bore the Crest of Courage. "Chibi Doragon Samurai no Yuuki, Flamedramon!"

Takuya leapt out of the flames in red-and-white samurai armor. His hair had grown long, wild and blonde. He punched twice, yelling "Samurai no Kasai, Agunimon!"

Matt and Tommy were enveloped by ice, changing them completely. Their clothes were frozen and broken and their skin changed form.

Matt's ice broke to reveal a were-wolf. He reared back, revealing torn and tattered clothing. The eye-like Crest of Friendship gleamed on his back as he reared back and shouted "Ookami Samurai no Shinkou, WereGarurumon!" Then he let loose a blood-chilling howl.

Tommy's ice cocoon shattered to reveal a teddy bear snowman, er, snowboy. He was clad in green armor with orange boots and retractable skies and a quad-launch bazooka on his back. The force of his exploding cocoon sent him flying. He landed, squished into a pile of slush, resumed his snowbear form, and formed a peace sign and a cheesy smile on his face, yelling "Kuma Samurai no Aisu, Kumamon!"

Sora and Zoe were enveloped by gales of wind kicking up sand. It shed their clothes and changed their bodies.

Sora emerged as a bird woman, with two large wings, taloned feet and two long brown braids. The heart-shaped Crest of Love shone on the back of each wing. "Washi Samurai no Ai, Garudamon!"

Zoe emerged as a violet-haired fairy. She wore bare-midriff armor and a visor over her eyes. She did a spin kick, threw a lock of hair out of her eyes, and placed a hand on her hip, yelling "Sennyo Samurai no Kaze, Kazemon!"

Izzy, Cody and JP were surrounded by blasts of electricity. Their clothes were blasted away and the lightning solidified against their skin, forming armor.

Izzy emerged as a giant, scarlet bug with a large horn. He had a large shell, four arms and a deep voice. He had the dual-eye like Crest of Knowledge on a blue sphere on the shell. "Kouchuu Samurai no Chisiki, MegaKabuterimon!"

Cody emerged as a yellow bug. He had drills for a nose and fingers. The Crest of Knowledge glistened on his back. "Chibi Kouchuu Samurai no Chishiki, Digmon!" (A/N: No, this Digmon does not have a Texan accent.)

JP emerged as a large humanoid bug. He had blue armor, a large horn and a gruff voice. "Kouchuu Samurai no Ikazuchi, Beetlemon!"

Mimi and Yolie were covered by flower buds. Their clothes were shed and armor was gained.

Mimi emerged in flower petal armor. She had petal wings, thorny vine hair and a flower bud helmet. The tear-like Crest of Sincerity was on the back of her hands. "Kusabana Samurai no Shijou, Lillymon!"

Yolie emerged in light samurai attire. A hood covered her head, held by a headband with the Crest of Sincerity on it. Her arms and legs were spiraling vines and for hands and feet, she had razor sharp shrunken. "Samurai no Seishinseii, Shurimon!"

Joe had a torrent of water covering him. The water shed his clothes and solidified against his skin. He emerged with a turtle shell on his back. His face was changed; it looked like a walrus with a barbed horn. In his hand was a hammer with the cross-like Crest of Reliability. "Kame Samurai no Koushinraisei, Zudomon!"

TK, Kari, Willis and Koji were surrounded by light of different colors. The lights shed their clothes and solidified against their skin, changing their bodies.

TK emerged as an eight-winged angel. He had a purple beam shield, a hilt on his right arm that extended a purple blade, and a purple helmet, much like the pope's. The shooting star-like Crest of Hope glowed on the hilt and shield. "Tenshi Samurai no Mikomi, MagnaAngemon!"

Kari emerged as a six-winged angel. She wore bare-midriff armor similar to Kazemon's, mix-matched boots and gloves, and a pink ribbon around her arms. Long blonde hair flowed from her head where a silver helmet rested. The star-like Crest of Light lay on her right glove. "Tenshi Samurai no Hikari, Angewomon!"

Willis emerged in golden armor. He had bunny ears high up and his arms were rocket launchers. The strange design of the Crest of Destiny gleamed on his chest armor. "Usagi Samurai no Tenbun, Rapidmon!"

Koji emerged in white body armor. A wolf mask covered his face as a white-and-blue striped scarf went down the length of his body. Two sword hilts were in his hands, pulsating blue-white blades of light. He went down on his knees, slashing his lightsabers, sheathed them at his waist, then stood and fired a laser from a wrist mounted blaster. "Ookami Samurai no Hikari, Lobomon!"

Shadows formed around Ken and Koichi. They shed their clothes and solidified at skin contact.

Ken emerged as a giant, humanoid bug. Gossamer wings sprouted from his back. Two antanai sprouted from his head. The flower design of the Crest of Kindness glowed on the back of his hands. "Kouchuu Samurai no Konsetsu, Stingmon!"

Koichi emerged, leaping out of the shadows. He had black lion-like armor. Two lion heads form shoulder blades and one is centered on his chest. A three pronged spear appears halfway into his decent and he grabbed it. He landed, swinging the spear and yelling "Raion Samurai no Ankoku, Lowemon!"

Transformations complete, the Digidestined look around—to find the place empty.

"Where'd they go?" Kazemon asked nervously.

Lowemon closed his eyes. Suddenly, he snapped them open and pointed right. "Over there!"

They look just in time to catch a glimpse of a fleeing figure.

"Go!"

WarGreymon, Garudamon, Kazemon, MegaKabuterimon, Beetlemon, Lillymon, MagnaAngemon, Angewomon, Rapidmon and Stingmon flew to where they last saw the figure while Flamedramon, Agunimon, WereGarurumon, Kumamon, Digmon, Shurimon, Lobomon and Lowemon ran.

All got to the area and those in the air landed.

"Blast." WarGreymon growled. "Angewomon, give us some light."

Angewomon spread her wings and flew up. She started to glow a pink light that covered a large amount of space.

They moved on, Angewomon lighting the way. As they moved, they did not see the shadows following them.

Lowemon closed his eyes again. He was concentrating on his other senses, trying to find the Vilemon. Like last time, he snapped his eyes open and yelled "They've surrounded us!"

Their position compromised, the Vilemon attacked.

"Scatter!" WarGreymon yelled, slashing with his claws at the Vilemon, disintegrating them.

"Wolf Claw!" WereGarurumon called, slashing at two more Vilemon with his claws. "Zudomon, plow the road!"

"You got it!" Zudomon roared, rushing forward with hammer in hand. "Vulcan's Hammer!"

The hammer connected with several Vilemon and sent them flying and senseless.

"Flame Shield!" Flamedramon burst into flames and rammed into five Vilemon, disintegrating them. Path cleared, he turned to the others—to find them gone.

"Blast. I hate it when they do that." He muttered. He ignited his fists and charged. "Flame Fists!"

---------------------------------------------------

"Mega Claw!"

"Wolf Claw!"

WarGreymon and WereGarurumon were back-to-back, fending off any Vilemon that were stupid enough to attack them. Fortunately, or unfortunately, that was a lot.

"Getting bored yet?" WereGarurumon asked.

"Oh, yeah." WarGreymon answered.

"Have some fun?"

"Thought you'd never ask. Round them up!"

"You got it." WereGarurumon said. "Garuru Kick!"

WereGarurumon kicked the Vilemon into a pile as WarGreymon gathered energy into the palm of his hand. He raised his hands over his head and the ball of energy expanded.

"Terra Force!"

WarGreymon tossed the huge ball of energy at the pile of Vilemon, which vaporized instantly.

--------------------------------------------

"Flower Cannon!"

Lillymon's hands formed a flower with a cannon, which shot green plasma at several Vilemon, yet more came. She used a crescent kick to knock them back and then flew a little ways off.

"Flower Wreath!"

She held two rings of flowers in her hands as Vilemon flew up to her.

"Have a nice trip!"

The first ring hit a Vilemon running at her. It hit his legs and flowers wrapped around them, making it trip.

"See you next fall!"

The second ring hit a Vilemon in the air Flowers wrapped around it's body, collapsing it's wings and causing it to fall from the air.

"Buh-bye."

A third ring was tossed like a frisbee at the remaining Vilemon. Landing in the center of the group, it exploded in a jumble of greenery, entangling all Vilemon. Lillymon smirked as she crossed her hands and said "Gotta love it."

-------------------------------------

"Pyro Tornado!"

"Lobo Kendo!"

"Shadow Lance!"

Agunimon, Lobomon and Lowemon were attacking several Vilemon, all of whom were trying to hit the three humans-turned-Digimon. Agunimon had twister into a fiery twister and was currently chasing several Vilemon.

Lobomon had his lightsabers out and Lowemon had his spear out. Both were back-to-back and lashing at Vilemon.

"Think Agunimon's dizzy yet?" Lobomon asked his brother.

"Doubt it." Lowemon replied. "I'm getting tired of this, though. Shadow Meteor!"

A comet of shadows burst from the mouth of the lion head of his chest. The shadows blasted the Vilemon attacking them.

"Howling Laser!"

Lobomon squeezed several shots from his blaster at the Vilemon. Several disintegrated.

"Pyro Darts!"

They turned to see that Agunimon had stopped twisting and had thrown several embers at the Vilemon, making them dance.

Then flames came out of the vents on his hands, circling around his arms until they centered on his fists.

"Pyro Punch!"

Agunimon punched out four times, a fist sized fireball coming from his fists each time. The four fireballs hit some Vilemon, deleting them.

Lowemon blinked. "Did you get tired of chasing them, Agunimon?"

Lobomon laughed. "I always knew you had a fiery temper, but you've never shown it before now."

All three laughed, then looked up at a call of "Rapid Fire!"

Rapidmon flew overhead, followed by a group of Vilemon. He turned so he could see his enemies and launched two missiles at them. They disintegrated on contact.

"Come on, let's find more." Lobomon said, running off.

----------------------------------------

"Gold Rush!"

"Blizzard Blaster!"

The drills and hail pellets from Digmon and Kumamon deleted several more Vilemon.

"Do they ever stop coming?" Digmon asked exasperatedly.

"I guess not." Kumamon replied, taking a deep breath. "Crystal Freeze!" He released the breath and froze two Vilemon solid.

"Frozen Tundra!" Forming his body into a sharp icicle, Kumamon drove himself into the two Vilemon, deleting them instantly.

"Uh, Kumamon?" Digmon said. "They've surrounded us."

Looking around, Kumamon found that Digmon was right. "I think we're in trouble."

"Wing Blade!"

"Hurricane Wave!"

"Double Star!"

A bird of fire, several ribbons of pink wind and a large shrunken landed on the Vilemon, deleting several. Looking up, Digmon and Kumamon saw Garudamon, Kazemon and Shurimon above them, Garudamon and Kazemon flying in the air and Shurimon kneeling on a ledge.

"Thanks for the save!" Kumamon called.

"Prego." Kazemon answered. "Watch your back!"

They turned and saw two last Vilemon charging them. Digmon raised his hands.

"Gold Rush!" He launched two drills from each hand and two hit each Vilemon, deleting them.

---------------------------------------------

"Horn Buster!"

"Lightning Blitz!"

Two electric blasts from MegaKabuterimon and Beetlemon zapped the Vilemon in front of them. Stingmon flew in after the blasts, large, purple stings stuck out of each hand.

"Spiking Strike!" ha called as he slashed at the Vilemon.

"Celestial Arrow!"

They looked up in time to see Angewomon loose an arrow of holy energy at the Vilemon below her. They also looked up in time to see a Vilemon charging up it's attack from behind her.

"Angewomon, look out!"

But Stingmon's warning came too late. With a shout of "Nightmare Shocker!" the Vilemon shot a blast of dark energy, hitting Angewomon in the back and sending her crumpling on the ground.

"Angewomon!"

-----------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, at the Digidestined HQ, Azulongmon and Gennai were working to find Piedmon's location.

"I don't understand." Gennai said. "He can't hide from our sensors in the Real World. So how is he doing it? Unless…"

"If you're thinking what I'm thinking," Azulongmon said. "Then we're in more trouble than the Digidestined. Where is he?"

Gennai looked up from his sensors. "He's here." He said calmly, his face grave.

At that instant, the doors burst open and Piedmon walked in.

"Hello, Azulongmon." Said the clown, looking around. "You have a pretty nice place here."

At that moment, Gennai, a sword in his hands, attacked, slicing at Piedmon. The clown jumped out of the way and held up his hands.

"Clown Trick!" He shouted. Gennai was blasted into the wall.

"You haven't changed, Piedmon." Azulongmon said. "You still pick on people less powerful than yourself."

"Ah, what do you know?" Piedmon asked the dragon. "Oh, by the way, your Digidestined are an interesting bunch."

"They will defeat you, clown!" Azulongmon roared.

"Not if I cut the power." replied Piedmon. In a movement too fast for the naked eye to see, Piedmon had drawn and thrown the four swords on his back. "Trump Sword!"

The swords entered four of the Destiny Stones, shattering them.

"No!" Gennai cried as the swords returned to their master.

"Trump Sword!" The swords were thrown at the final four Destiny Stones. Shards fell to the ground as Piedmon searched for a new target.

-----------------------------------

Meanwhile, MagnaAngemon was battling Vilemon by the half-dozen.

"Excalibur!" he shouted, swinging his sword at the Vilemon. Then he heard Angewomon's scream. "Angewomon!"

He glared at the Vilemon in front of him. "Get out of my way. Flying Sword of Justice!" He raised his sword, flapped his wings and charged, deleting all Vilemon in his way.

He found Angewomon lying on the ground near MegaKabuterimon, Beetlemon and Stingmon. The three were trying to get to her but were being blocked by the Vilemon.

The Vilemon that shot her down was now flying over her, ready to delete her with a point blank shot.

"Nightmare Shocker!"

The blast shot at Angewomon, but MagnaAngemon made it there first.

With a shout of "Shield and Counter!" MagnaAngemon held out his shield and absorbed the blast and, feeling a burst of energy from the absorbed shot, sliced the Vilemon into data land.

Seeing another Vilemon on the ledge above them, he flew up to it quickly, swinging his sword in an uppercut, yelling "Excalibur's Grace!" slicing the Vilemon in half and deleting it.

Landing, he helped Angewomon stand. "Are you okay?"

"I am now." She replied.

"I say we send these idiots to Kingdom Come." MagnaAngemon suggested.

"I agree." Angewomon answered.

Spreading their wings, they leapt up and landed on a ledge.

"Incoming!" MegaKabuterimon, Beetlemon and Stingmon shouted as they landed next to the angels.

"Hi, guys!" said Garudamon as she with Digmon, Kazemon with Kumamon, and Shurimon landed next to them.

With grunts, Agunimon, Lobomon and Lowemon jumped from a unfinished building and landed next to them, joined by a blur that turned out to be Rapidmon.

"This is great!" Lillymon said as she flew up to the others.

"Oh, she would say that." Zudomon muttered as he and Flamedramon ran up to the group.

A chilling howl erupted behind them and WereGarurumon ran up to them, WarGreymon flying above him.

Below them, the remaining Vilemon had gathered and were now gazing at the Digimon gathered above them.

MagnaAngemon stepped forward and extended Excalibur. "I want you guys to meet Excalibur and his special friend…" he drew a circle with Excalibur, "Gate of Destiny." The circle became a golden gate. The gate opened and a vacuum pulled the Vilemon inside. When all Vilemon were in it, the gate closed and it deleted.

"We did it!"

But before anyone could start celebrating, they started glowing and, after a flash of light, they stood as humans in their street clothes.

"What's going on?" Yolie asked, looking at her hands.

TK pulled out his D-Terminal. "Gennai, come in."

There was no answer.

"Come on." Tai said, extremely unnerved. "Let's find a computer."

They leapt off the edge and left the construction site at a run. All were wondering what went wrong.
