T.K. stood there as he stared down Piedmon. Piedmon stood there with a smile upon his face as he stood tall and strong up to T.K. They stood there for a moment before Piedmon initiated the first attack. T.K. was about to brace himself for the attack. He closed his eyes tight and put up his arms to defend himself when he heard a voice.

"Don't be afraid use the sword…" T.K. opened his eyes and looked at the sword that began to glow. He held the sword up in front of him and let his body become surrounded by its golden glow.

Piedmon stopped in his tracks as he watched as T.K.'s body glowed with a bright aura. T.K. then had the strength and courage to fight. Piedmon did not let this faze him as he charged at T.K. again and attacked. T.K. stood there and raised the sword to defend himself.

Then they began to fight. Piedmon was mostly on the offense. T.K. was able to defend against the attacks that Piedmon was throwing at him. Piedmon showed no signs of stopping his attacks. T.K. seemed as though he was not affected by the attacks as he fought back.

Piedmon jumped into the air and landed far away from T.K. He stood there with a look in his eyes. Piedmon beckoned him to come to him. T.K. smiled as he began to advance towards Piedmon. It was his turn for going on the offense as he threw everything that he had at Piedmon.

After a series of attacks, he jumped back breathing hard. Piedmon started to show some wear and tear as he tightly held his sword. T.K. stood there catching his breath as Piedmon tried to regain his strength. He looked up at T.K. as he stood there.

T.K. charged at him striking his sword as they fought each other. Piedmon tried to fight back, but they kept changing from defending and attacking that it was had to get an upper hand in the fight. Adrenaline was pumping through T.K.'s veins as he tried to get a swing at Piedmon.

T.K. jumped back as Piedmon stood there. T.K. was breathing hard as was Piedmon as they started to overexert themselves. They both were really tired and could barely move. T.K. fell to one knee as he started to fade in and out. His sight became fuzzy and dark. He felt like falling to the ground and passing out. But when the thought of Kari's safety came to his mind, he received a burst of strength that he used up in the fight.

"Before we fight more, I am sure you are wondering how I escaped that gate MagnaAngemon sent me through." Piedmon asked T.K. who did not lower his defenses, but listened carefully to him. "Well it started when you were able to get blackwargreymon to pass through the gate. While he was in there, he showed me a secret that I had not known. There was a weak spot in the barrier that keeps us, the digimon, from escaping. Well blackwargreymon destroyed that barrier and freed me from my captivity. It was then that the gate opened and I walked out back to the digital world. But before I could do anything, Gennai came out of nowhere and trapped me into a sword and cast me away into the dark ocean. There I have been waiting for the day I would meet you again to fight you and defeat you!"

Piedmon then began his attack onto T.K. "Trump Sword." He threw his sword at T.K. He moved to the side trying to dodge it, but it was too quick and it caught him in the leg. He fell to the ground in pain as he wrapped his hands around his leg trying to stop the bleeding.

He looked up at Piedmon who began to make his way to towards him. "Trump Sword." T.K. looked up in horror as another sword made its way to him. He tried to move to the other side but it still was able to hit him. This time the sword struck his arm very severely as he winced from the pain in both his leg and arm.

He looked up at Piedmon who stood there smiling at him as he pulled out another sword. He slowly pulled it up from in front of him to behind his head. He was about to strike T.K. in a very horrid manner.

"Celestial Arrow!" A voice screamed behind Piedmon. He fell forward away from T.K. as Angewoman came to the aid of T.K. She helped him with his wounds as he stood up using his sword for leverage. He glared at Piedmon who was now standing watching them. Kari was not too far off as she came running to watch what was going on.

"STAY BACK KARI!" T.K. yelled. Matt arrived as well as Davis, Cody, Ken, and Yolei. T.K. told Angewoman to also stay back as this was his fight. Piedmon, now irritated, began to fight T.K. with a more aggressive attitude with his attacks and his movement. T.K. was caught off guard as he started to lose control of the sword for a moment. Then T.K. fell backwards hard onto the ground.

Piedmon stood above him as from out of nowhere the digidestined's digimon began to attack him. He turned to face them and began to fight them all. None of them were able to keep him down. Matt was not able to bring his digimon which could have proven useful if he was able to have brought gabumon with him.

One by one Piedmon began to defeat the digimon that were attacking him. The digimon all reverted back to their in-training form as the digidestined took the digimon into their hands and ran a safe distance from Piedmon. Everything looked bleak and discouraging. The digidestined did not know what to do not that their digimon were too weak to fight now. That was when a bright light appeared before them. Piedmon turned around in shock…
