Chapter 19

They all climb onto his partner's back and soon they're in the air. "What's Armour Digivolving?" He hears Ryo ask. He answers, "It's using a Digi Egg to Digivolve. I'll explain later, when we're not about to confront this Millenniumon." "Ok." Ryo answers.

He sighs and wonders just why Veemon never spoke of Ryo or about this adventure with Ken and Wormon. He knows for a fact that this Veemon that seems to be partners with Ryo is Davis's partner. He also never heard Gennai talk about this Millenniumon or about Ryo. He wonders if Ken has the Dark Spore yet too.

He really wishes that they have enough time to talk about this stuff, but it seems that this mega level Digimon is a major threat to both worlds and needs to be stopped first of all. He also knows that they'll need SangRyuumon, which is Revmon's mega form.

He swallows hard as tries not to think about that fight with Belphemon. He doesn't need to think about that fight right now, not when they're going up against such a powerful opponent, as this Millenniumon seems to be. He then thinks about SangRyuumon.

SangRyuumon colours are different shades of red for his whole body as well as for his wings. Standing at eighty-three feet high at the shoulder, hundred feet high with the head raised straight up. From the tip of SangRyuumon's nose to the tip of his tail, the mega dragon is hundred sixty-two feet long. SangRyuumon's wings measure to be eighty feet long when fully stretched and forty-three feet long from the 'arm' of the wing to the tips of the wing fingers. SangRyuumon has black armour covering his chest and on the tip of the mega's tail is a thirty-foot long metal blade. The neck is also covered with the black flexible armour too, mostly covering the back of the neck. The neck armour stops at the base of the skull and seem to be attached to a pair of horns that rise on the dragon's head. The colour of SangRyuumon's eyes are silvery blue. SangRyuumon is a X-Antibody Digimon as well as a vaccine. SangRyuumon is a dragon of resurrection and revenge. SangRyuumon's ultimate attack is called Forgotten Chaos. The attack increase in strength the longer SangRyuumon keeps using it in battle. Few have been able to escape when SangRyuumon enters the battle.

He snaps out of his thoughts at the sight of a large form that has Machinedramon's cannons on the back. He notes the fact that it looks like this Digimon has some kind of energy shaped to look like a dragon under the cannons. The Digimon looks freaky, but that doesn't mean it's not powerful. The Digimon looks at them and Shalindramon finds a spot to land.

"That's Millenniumon?" TK asks in awe. "I guess so." Ryo says. He notices that Ryo had an odd look in his eyes. Soon Shalindramon dedigivolves to Revmon and he says, "Everyone ready?" He looks about the group and sees that TK's determined to fight. Ryo snaps out of it and nods while Ken looks fearful.

He sighs and says, "It alright to be afraid, Ken. Just don't let that fear keep you from doing what needs to be done. That's true courage." Ken looks surprised and smiles weakly. "I'll try to remember that, Jager." Ken promises him. He just nods and soon all the Digimon Digivolve to their highest forms.

Revmon transforms into GhoraFylgiamon, Patamon into MagnaAngemon, Veemon into ExVeemon, and Wormon into Stingmon. "How come they Digivolved again?" Ken asks. "Their ultimates now. It's a step up from champion." TK tells the other boy. He could see that Ryo's impressed.

They soon watch as their partners take to the air and they then follow behind them. They soon watch as the Digimon battle it out. Millenniumon shots at the Digimon with his cannons, their friends evade the attack and ExVeemon and Stingmon get in close to use their attacks on the mega Digimon.

"Vee Laser!" ExVeemon yells and shoots a beam of light at the mega Digimon. "Spiking Strike!" Stingmon cries and attacks one of Millenniumon's arms. He watches as both MagnaAngemon and GhoraFylgiamon attack before the mega level Digimon could do harm to the champion Digimon. "Collision Nova!" GhoraFylgiamon cries out, dark energy appears in front of his partner and soon take the shape of a sphere and hits Millenniumon in the back. MagnaAngemon just uses his blade on one of the cannons.

Millenniumon grunts in pain as Collision Nova hits him and the mega level Digimon says, "That kind of hurt. Try this on for size! Ultimate Fusion!" He watches as something forms in front of the mega level Digimon and then how it moves into the air above the enemy Digimon.

He cries out, "Get away from there!" GhoraFylgiamon tries Curse of the Dark Moon on the attack. It makes it explode before it was ready, but it does send the other Digimon flying. He notices that his partner looks tired already.

He bites his lower lip and prays. "I can't believe that you had that much power, I might need to get serious." The mega level Digimon says in an arrogant tone. He narrows his eyes at this, but doesn't do more then that. He notices that Ryo is moving closer to where Millenniumon is.

"Get out of there!" He yells to Ryo, but Ryo doesn't stop. "You better listen human. Come any closer and I'll squish you like a bug!" Millenniumon says to Ryo. "You're my partner." Ryo says and then yells out, "I then order you to stop this Millenniumon! We don't need to fight!" He looks stunned at this and looks over to the others. Either of them seems to understand this any better then he does.

He hears Millenniumon say, "I'll do whatever I want! You might be linked to me doesn't mean that I have to obey you!" He watches as Millenniumon raise a hand and then sends GhoraFylgiamon the energy he needs to go mega. He doesn't want to watch another kid be murdered in front of his eyes.

"GhoraFylgiamon Digivolves to… SangRyuumon!" SangRyuumon says in his deep voice. The other mega Digimon turns and looks stunned as he surveys the red dragon. "But you can't exist! You're not real!" Millenniumon cries out in terror. "I do exist and am very real." His partner says in a neutral tone.

"That's Revmon's mega form?" TK asks him. He sighs and closes his eyes. "Yes, that is Revmon's highest form. SangRyuumon is the dragon of resurrection and revenge. He's a vaccine Digimon too. Nothing escapes him when he puts his mind on deleting an enemy. He has the X-Antibody that lets him heal quickly and it doesn't let him be deleted. No matter how many mega level Digimon gang up on him, he'll prevail." He tells the other two and looks at Ken and TK. "This is going to be rough going from here on in." He warns the other two. They turn to look at where Ryo is and then at his partner.

He just hopes that the damaged caused between the two Digimon isn't much. He didn't want to help restore the code for this area like the last few times the battles between SangRyuumon and other Digimon.

(----------------------------------SangRyuumon----------------------------------)

He hovers in place and eyes Millenniumon. He did hear what Jager had said to the Ken and TK, but knows that Jager's right to worry. He really didn't know just how powerful he really is, but combined with the X-Antibody program that's in him, nobody could stop him or defeat him.

He then asks, "Why do you hate the idea of Ryo being your partner?" Millenniumon answers, "I hate weakness and that's want humans are! They are a worthless bunch of creatures that don't know true power! Why should I get bosses around by that tiny creature when I could be god of this world and multiply ones? I shall destroy my weakness and there's nothing you can do to stop me!" He snorts at Milleniumon's ignorance. "I believe that I can do more then stop you and you know that." He says simply. He watches as Millenniumon flinches at this.

He tackles the virus and pins him to the ground with easy. Ryo then walks over with the others trailing behind. "I can split him in two." Ryo says sadly. He nods his head and keeps Millenniumon from getting away. The other Digimon also dedigivolve and stand next to their respective humans.

Soon the program that Ryo activates takes hold of the virus and just before the virus transforms into data, some kind of black spheres are released. Before they get away, he uses his tail to destroy them all. He soon is just standing over a pile of sand and he dedigivolves into Revmon. He's not exhausted like he usually is when he Digivolves into SangRyuumon.

The watches as Ryo cries a bit and they watch as he walks away. He turns to look at Veemon and asks, "You going to follow him?" Veemon snaps out of it and races to catch up with Ryo. "That it?" Ken asks. "Looks like it. Better ending then most, I think." TK says.

He finds Jager deep within his thoughts, so he just stands by his partner. Jager never likes the fact that they have that much power. Jager always seem to think that he might make him abuse that power. He could understand why Jager feels like that, for the few times he ever Digivolves into SangRyuumon, he never knows just how much force he has at his command.

Soon TK snaps Jager out of it and they soon head out of the desert. They decide to just walk away, wondering if Ryo and Veemon will catch up. He then thinks about something as he thinks back to those black spheres. It then hits him, that's where Ken got his Dark Spore from! That means that Ken and Ryo would have done fine without their help, but that means that if they weren't here, Ken would have received a Dark Spore. It's a puzzle of what ifs and he decides not to think too hard about it.

(----------------------------------------Ken-----------------------------------------)

They spend a night here, in hopes of Ryo and Veemon coming back, but they never did. He enjoys listening to TK's stories about TK's and his friends' adventures. He then tells them a bit about how he came here. Then it hits him that his family might be worried about him, but Jager tell him that for now, time in the Digital World is faster then in the real world. Also Jager confirms that the Digivice is his and that he didn't disobey his brother, rather he was fulfilling his destiny as a Digidestine.

TK and him exchange phone numbers and he also gets Jager's number too. Jager promises to teach him how to use the Digi Port too. He was already making friends with both of them. Though he had to wonder just what Jager and Revmon saw when they look at him. He doesn't have the courage yet to ask either of them.

"So, what's your brother like?" TK asks him as Jager and Revmon decide to forage around for food. "Sam's a genius. He's older then me, but I really look up to him." He tells TK. "I did too when I was younger. I love them both, but I'm trying to step out of their shadows though. It's easier with Jager then with Matt." TK tells him. He remembers that TK mentioned about having two brothers. "Why's that?" He asks curiously. "Cause Jager makes it easy. Jager's so different from me that I know that I'm never in his shadow. He's been through things that I'll never go through." TK answers while staring off into space.

"Just what's the main difference?" He asks after a few minutes. TK slowly thinks about it and then says honestly, "Jager been killed once before and he also watched his friends get murdered before his own eyes before getting killed himself. He was resurrected within a few days of being killed." He just stares, totally stunned at just what TK have told him. TK then adds, "You see, Jager also came back in time to stop the whole killing spree from happening. He's another me." He blinks and lets that sink in. He just stares dumbfounded into the fire. He just doesn't know how to react to that piece of news.
