Hello, people. Nice to be back on this story, though This will be one of the last chapters for a while. I want to focus on my Metroid: The Digital Adventure and Season 4: Loyalty's Way fics, as they are going to be my longest fics, before I continue this story, Claws, and Raven, Help Me! Sorry, plus I have writers block for this story, and this will give me a chance to clear my head. Anyway, let's go to reviews before we got to the chapter.

Insane Pyro Girl: Please keep the fire! I don't like fire! Glad you like the story!

Dark Qiviut: I caught both reviews. How did that switch happen anyway?

HopeRanger: …uh…I'm sorry, but…I got lost. What?

Alforce Zero: You forgot the Vilemon as the ooze foot troopers, but yeah, everything's right.

PrincessRandi: Here's your update!

Western Master 3: Really? I thought that was Spirit Strike, except with fox spirits.

Isumo1489: Glad you like it. And, uh, later days?

Quick notes: I messed up with this update. For thos of you who read this and found my typo, I fixed it. Also,I forgot to add that I couldn't find any of Palmon's digivolutions that are beast forms. So, I used Petaldramon. Sorry! Anyway, here's the chapter. Read, Review, and Enjoy!

Chapter 5: The Mammothmon Graveyard

Sakuyamon blasted the North, the Digidestined in her Crystal Sphere attack, Gallantmon and MegaGargomon following behind.

"Could we slow down?" TK had to shout.

"What?" Sakuyamon asked with a grin.

"COULD WE SLOW DOWN!"

"Don't slow down?" Sakuyamon said, grinning wider. "Okay."

She sped up and listened to the shouts behind her growing louder.

"SAKUYAMON!" Gallantmon yelled in frustration. "SLOW DOWN!"

"Okay, okay." Sakuyamon muttered. "Keep your goggles on."

They eventually made it to a large fortress, where a phoenix resided in the center. They came before the phoenix, and Gallantmon, Sakuyamon, and MegaGargomon kneeled. "Lord Zhuqiaomon."

"Who are these humans?" Zhuqiaomon thundered.

"We're the Digidestined of the Western Plane." Tai said. "Azulongmon sent us."

"Azulongmon, eh?" Zhuqiaomon muttered. "What's the old lizard up to now?"

"He's dying." TK said, lowering his head. "He was attacked by a creature called Piedmon."

"Piedmon is loose?" Zhuqiaomon said in surprise.

"Yes." Said the Digidestined.

"Piedmon is a monster. He would attack all our realms." The phoenix stared at Tai. "He has sent you for power. He has sent you for my chosen."

"Not just that." Tai said. "He sent us to get our powers back."

Zhuqiaomon blinked. "He took your status as Digimon?"

"Yes."

The phoenix faced his chosen. "Revert." He ordered.

Gallantmon, Sakuyamon and MegaGargomon began to glow until they were three humans.

The boy that was Gallantmon stood about the same height as Davis. He had a blood hoodie, kaki pants, and a pair of blue lensed, yellow rimmed goggles. His hair was brown, and the eyes behind the goggles were crimson.

The boy that was MegaGargomon was slightly taller than the other. He wore a green shirt with an orange vest and kaki pants. His hair was raven, and wise grey eyes were behind round, green sunglasses.

The girl that was Sakuyamon was about Kari's height. She wore a blue-and-white shirt with a broken heart on the front and blue jeans. Her hair was in a spike bun and her violet eyes were hidden by her violet sportsglasses.

"Come with me." Zhuqiaomon ordered, and he flapped his wings, flying down the corridor. The humans followed, looking at each other in confusion.

They entered a large chamber, where a large fire was burning. Zhuqiaomon flew behind the fire and landed. The humans stood on the other side of the fire, watching as the phoenix dipped his wings into the fire and scooped out ash.

"After you accept this new power, you will start a journey." Zhuqiaomon said. "You must regain your power at the temple within a day's walk from here. There reside your human Digimon forms, as well as new beast forms. This will give you the power to stop Piedmon. Do you accept?"

"We do." Said all but Zhuqiaomon's chosen.

The phoenix lifted into the air and flew over the children, the ashes flying all over the room. The children closed their eyes and covered their faces from the ash. When they opened their eyes, they looked at themselves in amazement.

The ashes had given them the armor of their Digimon forms. Those who could fly now couldn't, but they all had received at least one weapon of some type.

Zhuqiaomon landed and gazed at the Digidestined. He settled his gaze on Tai and said. "Taichi Kamiya, the claws of WarGreymon and the arsenal of MetalGreymon are in tour fiery hands."

Matt was next. "Yamato Ishida, the icy claws of WereGarurumon and the frigid arsenal of MetalGarurumon are once again yours.

"Sora Takenouchi, the loving wings of Garudamon and the fires of Phoenixmon are yours to command.

"Koushirou Izumi, the mighty horn of MegaKabuterimon and the speed of HerculesKabuterimon are at your fingertips.

"Mimi Tachikawa, the grace of Lillymon and the power of Petaldramon are at your disposal.

"Jyou Kido, the hammer of Zudomon and the strength of Plesiomon are yours.

"Daisuke Motomiya, the fires of Flamedramon and the lightning of Raidramon are in your power.

"Miyako Inoue, the grace of Shurimon and the wings of Halsemon are yours in battle.

"Iori Hida, the might of Digmon and the speed of Submarimon are yours to use.

"Ken Ichijouchi, shadows of Stingmon and GrandKuwagamon are ready for you.

"Wallace Davison, the arsenal of Rapidmon and the holy powers of Cherubimon are yours to use.

"Takuya Kanbara, the fires of Agunimon and BurningGreymon are in your hands.

"Koji Minamoto, the light of Lobomon and KendoGarurumon are ready for you.

"Izumi Orimoto, the winds of Kazemon and Zephyrmon are yours once again.

"Junpei Shibayama, the thunder of Beetlemon and MetalKabuterimon are waiting to be used.

"Tomoki Himi, the icy powers of Kumamon and KorIkkakumon are at your disposal.

"Koichi Kimura, the shadows of Lowemon and JagerLowemon are waiting for you."

Finally, Zhuqiaomon turned to TK and Kari. "You two are special. Takeru Takaishi, our hope, and Hikari Kamiya, the light of the worlds. Here, you will receive new power. Close your eyes, young ones. Phoenix Flame!"

A burst of flame form the phoenix's beak washed over TK and Kari, changing their armor.

TK's armor was as blue as his eyes. Yellow adorned his armor in various places. In his hands were twin sai.

Kari's was the same as TK, except she had a lighter shade of blue and pink instead of yellow. In her hands was a shield and a lance.

"Takeru Takaishi, the holy powers of Seraphimon and the holy flames of the dragon Goddramon are with you." Zhuqiaomon told the boy.

"Hikari Kamiya, Ophanimon's light and the holy flames of Magnadramon are yours to protect." The phoenix told the girl.

Now the phoenix turned to his warriors.

"Takato."

The boy in goggles suddenly stiffened.

"Henry."

The boy in green sunglasses slowly took them off.

"And Rika."

The girl scowled and took off her sunglasses.

"You are to go with them." Zhuqiaomon said. "You know this world's policy. Kill or be killed. You must protect them until they receive their power. Also, you must go to their world, for Piedmon is no easy feat."

"Yes, Lord Zhuqiaomon." Said the three.

Zhuqiaomon looked out a window and said, "In that direction, the temple stands. In that temple lies your power. I recommend that you stay here tonight and rest, and make an early start in the morning."

He turned back to the humans, both his and Azulongmon's. "Good luck." He burst into flames and flew away, saying one last thing. "You're going to need it."

Everyone blinked, and then looked down at their armor. Takato, Henry, and Rika came forward. "I guess we should get to know each other more." Said Takato, smiling sheepishly.

The next morning found everybody awake, except Tommy and Cody, who were being carried by TK and Yolei. Tai was standing at the door to the palace, staring at their destination.

Finally, he called "Let's go!" as the sun came up. He began walking down the path, Matt behind him. Soon, everyone had reached the gates to Zhuqiaomon's palace. They kept walking, everyone taking turns carrying Cody and Tommy, even Takato, Henry and Rika.

By noon, they had reached a forest. Everyone stopped for lunch (where JP ate the most) before continuing. Tommy and Cody were awake, and idle chatter filled the air, mostly getting to know Zhuqiaomon's warriors.

Finally, Zoe, who was at the very end of the group talking to Kari, Rika and Takato, called ahead. "Tai, what's going on?"

For Tai had stopped at the top of the hill, looking down.

"Everyone stop." Came the reply. "I think we're at a Mammothmon Graveyard."

The rest of the group came and stood at the top of the hill, looking down as well. At the bottom of the hill was a clearing. The clearing was littered with bones, most of which looked like they came from elephants.

"Oh, great." Rika moaned. "I thought this place was supposed to be on the other side of Zhuqiaomon's palace. In fact, I know it was. We passed it yesterday."

"I thought so too." Henry said. "But I discovered that this place likes to move around. Come on. Just be careful."

They began to proceed carefully, though the Digidestined didn't understand why.

They had almost made it through when several bones hit Tai and Matt, sending them flying. They landed on their siblings, who collapsed and groaned.

Bones came together and formed two different beings. One was a large dinosaur with a huge missile on its back. They other was an elephant.

Takato pulled out his Digivice and a hologram appeared. The dinosaur's image appeared in the hologram. "SkullGreymon, Virus Type, Ultimate Level. It's Dark Shot and Double Dark Shot launches the nuclear missile on its back and leaves destruction in its wake."

Now the elephant appeared on the hologram. "SkullMammothmon, Vaccine Type, Ultimate Level. This Digivolution of Mammothmon can blow our lights out with its Spiral Bone Crusher."

Rika snapped on her sunglasses. "You guys stay here. Gogglehead, Brainiac and I will take care of these two." She said.

She and Henry pulled out their Digivices and all three of them pulled out a blue card. They slashed the cards through their Digivices, yelling "Digi-Modify! Matrix Digivolution, Activate!"

They were covered in lights of different colors; Takato red, Henry green, and Rika blue. The light shed their clothes and solidified against their skin, forming armor.

"Kitsune samurai no Majikku, Sakuyamon!"

"Inu samurai no Mashin, MegaGargomon!"

"Daragon samurai, Gallantmon!"

"MegaGargomon, take out SkullGreymon, then come join me and Sakuyamon with SkullMammothmon!" Gallantmon said before he leapt at SkullMammothmon, Sakuyamon right behind him.

MegaGargomon rolled his eyes. "Why am I not surprised?" he asked before facing SkullGreymon and opening all of his compartments and unleashing them. "Mega Barrage!"

The missiles and lasers hit SkullGreymon, who roared in pain before he roared "Dark Shot!" and fired his missile at MegaGargomon.

"Oh, no you don't." MegaGargomon cried. "Mega Pummel!" Leaping over the missile, he slammed his fists against the tail end, sending it skyward.

"Gargo Missile!" MegaGargomon released the two big missiles on his shoulders at the missile, exploding it in mid-air.

"Mega Pummel!" Now the green titan was beating the stuffing out of SkullGreymon (if he had any) while the kids watched in amazement and amusement.

"Lightning Joust!" Gallantmon sent a blast of lightning from his lance to SkullMammothmon's face. He might as well as throw a stone at it, seeing how he's a Virus and SkullMammothmon was a Vaccine.

"Spiral Bone Crusher!" The barrage of bones headed to Gallantmon. He blocked with his shield, but once again, he was a Virus and the other a Vaccine. He would have collapsed if not for one thing.

"Crystal Sphere!"

The Data Type Sakuyamon wrapped her boyfriend in her shield and protected him from the bone barrage.

"Thanks, Sakuyamon!" Gallantmon called. "Now, Shield of the Just!"

Gallantmon sent a powerful blast from his shield to SkullMammothmon's face, this time blowing him back some. Sakuyamon decided to help. "Spirit Strike!"

Three fox spirits of different colors flew from her scepter and hit SkullMammothmon.

At that moment, MegaGargomon arrived to help. "Gargo Missile!"

The missiles slammed into SkullMammothmon, adding to the damage already made my Gallantmon and Sakuyamon. SkullMammothmon and SkullGreymon, who was left in a heap after taking MegaGargomon's punishment, roared and were vaporized.

Gallantmon sighed as he turned back into Takato. Facing the others, he smiled and said, "Let's continue."
