Summary: The Frontier Gang is back. The Digital World is in trouble, but when the gang go back, they find that someone else has told them to come. A new generation of Digidestines has arrived! (not the same summary as outside)

Chapter 8
Couragomon...Glaciusmon...why won't you remember us?
"Where are those guys?" Izumi asked, looking around the area, scanning for any evidence of Lucas and Kouji. "They've been gone for over an hour!"
Junpei's stomach growled. "And we still don't have any food," Junpei complained.
"Do you guys think they got hurt?" Kouichi asked, a bit frightened.
"Of course not, Lucas is way too smart to get into any trouble," Stuart reassured.
"And Kouji's too stubborn," Takuya added. He laughed in spite of their situation.
They were all sitting in the forest against trees and such. Izumi was the only one standing, looking for signs of Lucas or Kouji. Then, she spotted something. "It's Lucas!" Izumi yelled and pointed in one direction. The whole gang got up and stared where she pointed. "He's hurt!"
The gang ran over to him and Stuart helped him up. "What happened to you?" he asked Lucas.
"This Digimon...the flute...and Kouji...controlled...couldn't help...him," Lucas said. No one understood what he meant because he was talking in fragments. "We...have...to...help him."
"Something's wrong with Kouji?" Izumi asked, worried. "What happened to him? Where is he? Who took him? What-"
"Izumi, let the guy talk," Takuya interrupted, putting a hand on her shoulder.
Lucas took a few deep breaths and got it out straight, "We found the source of the flute. It was a female Digimon and she used the flute to control Kouji." He paused. "She called him the Warrior of Light."
"Well, he is Light, but what does she want him for?" Kouichi asked.
"When Kouji was controlled, he said, 'I must cheer for my love,'" Lucas stated. "I think she wants him for herself."
"Jeez, Kouji has all the girls after him," Junpei stated, disgusted. "We had better save him though. Wouldn't want him to be against us or anything."
"But that's exactly what's going to happen, isn't it?" Tomoki asked. "If we go to save him, she'll use him against us so we won't attack him."
Lucas smiled at him. "You're getting smarter by the minute, Tomoki."
"Thanks."
Takuya stood straight up and said, "Enough idling, let's go save Kouji!" He paused. "Okay, Junpei, stay with Lucas," Takuya stated. "We need someone with a spirit with him to protect him."
"Takuya, if Junpei stays, I'll be the only one with a spirit that's going to save Kouji," Izumi stated and Takuya fell over, anime style.
"Not exactly," a voice stated from overhead. A Digimon flew down and landed right in front of them. It was Metawomon. Then, another Digimon landed right beside her.
"Alex?" Izumi asked and Metawomon changed back into Alex. "We thought you were gone forever!" Izumi ran over and hugged Alex. Then, when she broke the hug, she looked at the Digimon beside Alex and asked, "Who's that?"
The Digimon had black pointy wings and short black hair with a ribbon tied around his head. He had a long ponytail, but it wasn't hair, it was like a backbone or something. His face had an evil look about it. He wore black gloves and boots with pants and a black coat with no shirt underneath, but it did have tons of buckles on the coat.
"Kyle, change back already," Alex stated with a glare. The Digimon glared back and then changed back into Kyle. "This is Kyle everyone, Kyle, this is Izumi, then, Takuya, Tomoki, Junpei, Lucas, Stuart, and Kouichi. Kyle is the 10th Legendary Warrior of the Past. Yes, I know, it's confusing, but I'll explain later. Now, we have to save Kouji."
"Uh-okay, but this is really strange," Izumi stated. "But we do have to save Kouji." She turned to Takuya. "How about you, Tomoki, Kouichi, and Stuart stay here while Alex, Kyle, Junpei, and I go save Kouji? You guys don't have spirits yet, so you wouldn't be much help anyway. You can watch over Lucas."
Takuya thought about it. It would be the best plan, but he didn't want Izumi to stay out of his sight, especially if she went to go fight an evil controlling Digimon with two unreliable people and Junpei. "Takuya," Alex stated, walking up to him and whispering in his ear, "I promise to have Izumi back in an hour. If she's not, come and find us." Then, she leaned back and smiled at him. He stared at her and blushed deeply.
Izumi narrowed her eyes at Alex. 'What was that all about?' she asked.
"What was that all about back there?" Izumi asked Alex when they started on their way to find Kouji. Izumi was mad at Alex for talk to Takuya like that.
"First of all, I don't like Takuya in that way, and second, it was about you, and that's why he blushed," Alex stated simply.
Izumi got red. "Okay, why did you come back?"
"To check up on you guys, mainly," Alex said. That was a reason, but it wasn't the main reason.
"Yeah right, what's the real reason?" Izumi asked, narrowing her eyes at Alex.
Alex looked at the ground and then up at Izumi. "Okay, promise not to tell the others?" Alex asked.
"I promise," Izumi replied and smiled.
"It's Kouji," Alex stated, lowering her voice so Junpei and Kyle couldn't hear. They were walking behind the girls.
"Kouji? But how did you know he was in danger?" Izumi asked, lowering her voice as well.
"I don't know, I just had a feeling and I came to check up on him and all this has happened," Alex stated.
"I used to get those kind of feelings all the time when Takuya was out by himself or when he was fighting some evil creature or something," Izumi stated with a smile.
"Do you like Takuya?" Alex asked Izumi who blushed red.
"Yes, I do," Izumi stated and smiled at Alex. "I guess since you have those feelings about Kouji, then you like him just like I like Takuya."
Now, it was Alex's turn to blush deep red. "Uh-does Kouji have his spirit now? I haven't seen you guys in a while so I don't know who all has theirs, but apparently those guys back there still didn't get theirs." She meant the ones who stayed behind.
"Oh, yeah, Kouji got his just after you left, actually," Izumi answered with a knowing smile. "He's light."
Alex smiled. "I knew it." She remembered when she had told Kouji about Lucas, Stuart, and her thinking Kouji was light. Now, she knew they were right. But what does this Digimon want with Kouji is the real question here...
10 minutes later...
Izumi, Alex, Kyle, and Junpei reached the stage where the Digimon had been playing her flute and were looking around to see if there was any sign of Kouji at all. The walked up to the stage and looked around it. Alex stepped up onto the stage, but was thrown off instantly by some unknown force. She was thrown backward onto the ground.
"Alex, are you okay?" Izumi asked her, kneeling down beside her friend. Kyle and Junpei stood at the bottom of the stairs to the stage, wondering who had done that.
"Why do you disturb me?" a soft voice asked and a figure suddenly appeared on stage. It was the same figure as before when Lucas and Kouji saw it and the kids realized that right away, because right beside her was Kouji, his eyes a dark blue.
"What did you do to Kouji?" Izumi asked. Alex was barely able to sit up, let alone scream at this Digimon, so Izumi did it for her.
"This boy is my Warrior of Light, your Kouji is no more," the Digimon stated simply, motioning towards Kouji. "Now, my Warrior, finish them off."
Kouji instantly changed into Glaciusmon and jumped off the stage right in front of Junpei and Kyle. Izumi stood beside them. "EXECUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" all three of them yelled.
"Ceritymon!" Izumi yelled.
"Darkagoomon!" Kyle yelled.
"Sabermon!" Junpei yelled.
"Glacius Breeze!" Glaciusmon yelled and a freezing blast hit the three other Digimon. Alex widened her eyes at them because they were frozen solid.
"Yes, I modified his attacks so now, they're super powerful," the girl Digimon stated with a smile at Alex. "Now, little girl, what are you going to do?"
Glaciusmon walked towards Alex and stopped in front of her. He had no expression on his face. 'So, this is Glaciusmon, huh?' she asked herself. 'Metawomon, you pick the best Digimon.'
Alex stood up and got a determined face on. She took out her D-Tector and yelled, "EXECUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" Then, "Metawomon!"
Glaciusmon stood still for a second and then attacked with his right fist, but Metawomon flew up into the air. "Freezing Fireball!" Glaciusmon yelled and threw a blue fireball at Metawomon which hit dead on.
Metawomon fell to the ground, but didn't change back into Alex yet. She groaned and sat up. She spun around and saw Glaciusmon take out his sword. He grabbed her throat and lifted her into the air. He pointed his sword at her chest.
"Kouji," Metawomon said softly. Glaciusmon's hand didn't move. "Glaciusmon...please..." Metawomon couldn't get out anymore for she was suffocating and she needed all her breath.
So, she closed her eyes and thought, 'Glaciusmon, please believe me when I say this, I love you, Glaciusmon, Kouji, I love you.'
Suddenly, Metawomon was dropped to the ground. Instantly, she grabbed her throat and started breathing deeply. She looked over at Glaciusmon. He had fallen to his knees holding his head. "Warrior of Light, destroy her now!" the female Digimon yelled.
"Kouji, don't listen to her," Metawomon stated, her voice soft. "Fight her off, Kouji, you can do it."
Kouji was fighting against the control over him, and it wasn't working too well. He fought harder and harder, trying to think of the gang and of Alex...why? He didn't really know. Then, suddenly, his hand went straight for Metawomon's neck again.
"Why am I thinking of you?" he asked.
"DESTROY HER!" the female Digimon yelled.
"You're...Metawomon?" Alex asked, wondering the same thing Kouji was except about the wrong person. She thought he meant Metawomon, not her.
Glaciusmon held his head with his other hand. Suddenly, he was having flashbacks. He had one from when they all met Alex, one from when she told him how she thought he was the spirit of light, and another when he had to carry her back to Gotsumon village because no one else had volunteered.
"Kouji...talk...me," Metawomon got out before the female Digimon yelled, "If you won't destroy her, I will!" The female Digimon started to walk to where they were, thinking that she didn't have to rush.
Glaciusmon, on the other hand, didn't hear either of them. He kept having thoughts in his head. He kept thinking of Alex. Then, something unexpected happened. He saw a scene that he would never forget.
Scene...
The scene was of a little girl, around 8 years old. She was sitting all alone in a dark room, crying her eyes out. Glaciusmon took a step towards the girl, but then she spoke.
"Why did you leave me? Mom...Dad?" the girl asked no one in particular. Tears were streaming down her face. "I don't care if everyone thinks I killed you! I KNOW I didn't kill you and that's good enough for me! I loved you! How could he think that though? My friends, even Kyle, they...he abandoned me! How could he! I thought he was my friend!"
Glaciusmon was stunned. 'This girl's parents are gone? Who was Kyle? Who is she?' he asked himself.
Suddenly, the crying stopped. Glaciusmon took a few steps toward the girl and then, suddenly stopped when she lifted her head up. He was stunned to see that it was a small Alex. "Who are you?" Alex asked.
Glaciusmon stood there wide-eyed. "You can see me?" he asked.
"Of course I can," she said very coldly. The coldness in her voice struck him like a chord. "What are you doing here? Did you come to take me away or to be my friend?"
"What did you mean before?" Glaciusmon asked Alex. "Your parents are gone? What happened to them? And who's Kyle?"
Suddenly, the girl and the room started to disappear. "Yes, they're gone...but I want to know who you are. Please tell me before you go! Please!" Alex screamed.
"Me?" Glaciusmon asked. "Why me?"
"I WANT TO KNOW YOU! PLEASE! I WANT A FRIEND WHO WILL STAY BY MY SIDE!" Alex yelled just before she and the room disappeared.
Battle...
Glaciusmon was back in the present and he stared at the struggling Metawomon.'Alex...' he thought and then, another thought came to him.
Scene...
"You're a dirty traitor, you know that right?" a little girl of about 10 years old told a boy of about the same age. The little girl turned to face the boy and Glaciusmon saw her face. It was Alex again.
"And you're a bloody murderer so I guess we're even," the boy replied. He smirked at Alex who got tears in her eyes. The boy seemed surprised to Glaciusmon. Glaciusmon figured that he didn't know Alex would cry.
"Stop saying that, Kyle, just stop it!" she yelled, tears streaming down her face. "You can't know what it feels like to have the whole world against you!" Then, she wiped her eyes and took a deep breath. "I promised myself not to cry after that day and well, you made me do it. Why? Because you were my friend, Kyle. And I thought that friends were supposed to stay by your side and TRUST you, but I guess I was wrong. I'll never want another friend again. Never."
Alex turned and started walking, but Kyle called her name so she stopped. "You don't know anything about friendship and who cares if the world turned its back on you.? You can't give up!"
Alex turned around to face him and saw Glaciusmon. Her eyes widened and she smiled for the first time in two years. "Yeah, I don't know friendship now, but I will. And I'll love again, maybe sooner than you or I think." The whole time she was saying this, she was staring at Glaciusmon with a loving expression on her face. "We'll meet again..."
Kyle looked confused at Alex, but she just walked away. She wasn't the emotional little girl that she was at 8 years old, she let darkness overcome her, Glaciusmon saw that. But he also saw hope, just a little bit of hope inside her.
Battle...
Suddenly, Glaciusmon let go of Metawomon and she lay breathing hard on the ground. She almost suffocated by Glaciusmon's hand, but was released just in time. Then, Glaciusmon spoke, "Why did you give up?" Metawomon widened her eyes at him. What did he mean?
Glaciusmon was no longer fighting it. He was still controlled, but he wanted to know about Alex more. He used his hand to put up an Ice Shield so the female Digimon couldn't come near. She was yelling something, but he didn't hear her.
"Why did you give up?" he yelled at Metawomon and pointed his sword at her neck. "Answer or I'll slit your throat."
"Give...up...what?" she got out, still breathing hard.
"Friends, family, all those things when you were 8 and then, at 10 when you talked to Kyle," Glaciusmon replied, glaring at Metawomon.
She took a few deep breaths and closed her eyes. "When I was 8...my parents were murdered...everyone thought I did it...and I couldn't take it anymore...I couldn't take the pain...so I gave up on everyone around me and myself...but I was wrong to do that...I realized it when I came here and everyone wanted to be my friend. I loved having friends...I loved meeting you guys...I loved meeting you and Kouji, Glaciusmon. When I told Kyle I would love again, I knew I was right...because I saw you and I knew you would be different." She opened her eyes and stared straight into Glaciusmon's. "I fell in love with you, Kouji just like Metawomon fell for Glaciusmon, just like it..."
Suddenly, Metawomon passed out and changed back to Alex. The Ice Shield disappeared, but so did the ice around Ceritymon, Darkagoomon, and Sabermon. Glaciusmon turned back to Kouji who blinked, confused. He had no remembrance of anything that happened.
"Kouji, you're alright!" a voice yelled from beside him. It was Ceritymon. She flew over to Kouji and then spotted Alex. "What happened to her?"
"I don't know, but I think we've got a problem guys," Kouji said, standing up and pointing at the female Digimon, now taller than all of the trees in the area. She was growing at an alarming rate.
"Oh, that big bully, we can beat her no problem. You take care of Alex, Kouji," Ceritymon stated with ease. She smiled and flew into the air. Sabermon raced to the female Digimon on foot, but Darkagoomon stayed put, glaring at Kouji.
Kouji was just about to ask who he was when they both heard a sound; it was the flute. Suddenly, Darkagoomon slashed at Kouji, but he jumped out of the way just in time.
Ceritymon and Sabermon had stopped in mid air and mid run. They spun around and instantly, Kouji noticed the darkness in their eyes. "Not good," Kouji stated.
Kouji got out his D-Tector. "EXECUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" he shouted and then, "Glaciusmon!"
Darkagoomon tried to slash Glaciusmon, but Glaciusmon blocked it with his own sword. He remembered Alex lying on the ground and saw that she was getting up. "Alex, get out of here! Everyone is being controlled for some reason!"
Alex shook her head and tried to take in what Kouji was saying and then realized that it was Kouji, and not a controlled Kouji. She looked around for him, but first noticed that Ceritymon and Sabermon were coming right for her. She brought out her D-Tector and gripped it tightly, thinking of something to do. She couldn't possibly fight both of them off, but she couldn't run back and get help from the others. What was she supposed to do?
After taking a deep breath, she glared straight at Ceritymon and just when she was about 4 feet in front of her, she threw her D-Tector at her.
Kouji wasn't paying attention to any of this, because he was fighting off Darkagoomon. He had been sword fighting with him and now they were jumping and flying around to dodge attacks.
Alex's D-Tector hit Ceritymon right in the head and it made her fly backwards, but it also let off a strange glow. Alex pointed her right finger at the D-Tector and a pink light shone to her finger. Then, she pointed to the sky with her right and with her left pointed out to the side. "Heartless Rejoice!" she yelled and a stream of pink hearts surrounded her, healing all her wounds.
Another plus to it was that it had made quite a show, one that the rest of the gang would see and they would definitely come even if it hadn't been an hour like Alex had said.
Suddenly, Sabermon grabbed Alex's D-Tector from the ground and she stepped back, astonished that she forgot about him.
"What are you going to do without your little digi-device now, girly?" the female Digimon asked with Sabermon taunting Alex. The female Digimon had grown to be huge, almost to the sky even and her voice had become scratchy and not as peaceful, but the flute was still playing.
"Sincere Blessing!" a voice shouted out of nowhere at Alex. Alex looked up only to see purple sparks coming right towards her. They hit her dead on and she flew backwards, doing a flip, and landing on her stomach. What could she do now?
"Night Shade!" Darkagoomon yelled and held his open hand out at Glaciusmon. A darkness came out of his hand and hit Glaciusmon in the stomach. Glaciusmon grimaced, but stayed standing.
"Is that all you've got?" Glaciusmon asked Darkagoomon. Then, he heard Alex scream. He glanced over and saw her get hit by another blast from Ceritymon. He turned back to Darkagoomon. "I want to know who you are right now! What are you doing here?"
Darkagoomon glared at Glaciusmon. "I'm the 10th Warrior of the past, Darkagoomon, and I've come for the Warrior of Love," Darkagoomon stated. "Master says she must be punished for releasing you from her control. She's very meddlesome, that girl."
'The 10th Warrior?' Kouji asked himself.
Alex hit a tree with another attack and was so tired that she couldn't move a muscle. Even breathing hurt her. She closed her eyes and thought, 'So this is what it feels like to die...All the pain my parents went through...'
Little by little, her hearing went. She could barely hear it when Ceritymon called out the finishing blow, but Alex never felt it. She wanted to open her eyes to see why, but all the energy loss knocked her unconscious.
Glaciusmon had jumped in front of Ceritymon's last attack so he got hit by it. He winced and fell down on a knee, but stood back up. In front of him were Darkagoomon and Ceritymon. Sabermon had gone to give Alex's D-Tector to the female Digimon. 'This really isn't good,' Kouji thought to himself. 'Alex is unconscious and I've got to fight off three of my friends.'
"Lightning Spear!" a voice yelled from the forest. Three strikes of lightning hit Ceritymon, Sabermon, and Darkagoomon. They fell to the ground. Sabermon was heading back to fight Glaciusmon as well, but he was a bit farther away.
Out of the forest came Tundremon, followed by Takuya, Stuart, Tomoki, and Kouichi. "Why are they being controlled and you aren't?" Tundremon asked Glaciusmon when he reached him.
"I really have no clue!" Glaciusmon answered and jump-kicked Darkagoomon when he had gotten up again.
"Hey wait!" Tundremon shouted at him, but Glaciusmon had started a rousing fight with Darkagoomon. Sabermon ran in front of Tundremon and they started to fight.
"What's going on?" Takuya asked the others that didn't get their spirits yet. They all shrugged their shoulders. He had been watching Glaciusmon and Darkagoomon fight and then turned to watch Sabermon and Tundremon fight. "Wait, where's Izu-?"
His question wasn't finished because of a blast of purple sparks hit him and the other three kids. They fell to the ground, but shook it off and Takuya looked up to stare into the dark green eyes of Ceritymon, a.k.a. Izumi. "Izumi?" he asked, surprise on his face.
"That can't be Izumi," Tomoki stated just as Ceritymon was getting ready for another attack.
"Whoever she is, she's going to attack us!" Kouichi yelled and the gang all dived for cover behind a few trees.
"What's wrong with Izumi?" Stuart asked mainly Takuya.
Takuya got a determined look on his face. "I don't know, but I'm going to find out," Takuya stated and ran out in front of Ceritymon.
"Wait, Takuya!" Stuart, Tomoki, and Kouichi yelled at the same time.
"Little boy, you don't know when to quit," the female Digimon told Takuya. "You should know better than to challenge me, boy."
"I'm not challenging you." As he said this, Takuya glanced at the fights of the others and then looked straight at Ceritymon. "I know you can hear me, Izumi. Don't give in to the evil."
"Don't try freeing her." The female Digimon laughed at Takuya's attempts. "There's no way to free her."
But Takuya wouldn't give up. If Kouji was freed, then so could Izumi. "I'm not letting her get controlled and if I die trying to save her, then so be it," Takuya stated firmly with a motion of his hand.
Suddenly, Takuya's D-Tector started glowing in his hand and a bright light was glowing just behind Ceritymon. A light broke the earth and a statue flew out. It was the spirit of courage. Takuya held out his D-Tector and yelled, "EXECUTE SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" and then, "Couragomon!" He had turned into a tall Digimon with red armor and long straight brown hair. His face was tan along with the rest of his body, but he had cool red boots along with it. He barely looked like a Digimon, more like a super hero with a great body. Also, the Digimon had Takuya's trademark goggles on its head and cool blue eyes.
"That's Takuya?" Tomoki asked with awe.
"He looks like a human," Stuart noted.
"Yeah, but then again, some of them do, like Ceritymon," Kouichi said.
"Couragomon?" Ceritymon asked, taking a step toward him. The control over her was being broken with every step she took and she took a good many to get to Couragomon. By the time she was over there, the spell was broken, but it wasn't Izumi. It was the real Ceritymon.
Something inside her spirit was so strong that she took over the instant she saw him. "Couragomon, it's really you," she said. She touched his cheek with her hand.
"Izumi, what are you-?" he started, but didn't finish because he was stunned by her face. Her eyes were staring right into his and he couldn't turn away.
"What's Izumi doing?" Stuart asked.
"Is she trying to use a secret technique on Takuya?" Tomoki asked.
"I don't think so, because Takuya is just standing there," Kouichi said.
They all stared at the two Digimon, wondering what in the world was happening.
"How do we free them?" Tundremon asked Glaciusmon because now, they were back to back.
"How am I supposed to know?" Glaciusmon asked back.
"Alex freed you, didn't she?" Tundremon asked him. Glaciusmon looked surprised. "Wait, you don't remember being controlled at all?" Glaciusmon shook his head. "Well, who do these guys like? Maybe we can free them that way." Tundremon was thinking of himself and how he wasn't controlled, but Kouji was.
"Junpei liked Izumi, but she really never liked him back," Glaciusmon replied. "She liked Takuya, I think. She never really said anything about anyone though."
"Can you hold off both these guys while I go to find Ceritymon?" Tundremon asked. Glaciusmon nodded and Tundremon jumped out of the fight. He ran over to the gang and asked, "Where's Ceritymon?"
Stuart, Tomoki, and Kouichi pointed to where Ceritymon and Couragomon were standing. He ran over there and yelled Ceritymon. Ceritymon turned and smiled at Tundremon. "Oh, Tundremon, you're here too! Is anyone else here? This was a really big surprise, seeing you all again," Ceritymon said.
"What are you talking about, Izumi?" Tundremon asked.
"Who's Izumi?" Ceritymon asked.
Tundremon's and Couragomon's mouths fell open. They just realized the truth, that Ceritymon had taken over Izumi's body. "What do you mean by that?" Couragomon yelled and spun Ceritymon to face him.
Ceritymon looked at him like she was crushed. "Am I supposed to know her, Couragomon?"
"I'm not Couragomon, I'm Takuya!" he yelled.
"Takuya, yelling won't solve anything!" Tundremon yelled at Takuya. Couragomon and Ceritymon both looked at him. He turned to Ceritymon and said, "Izumi is the human who now has your spirit. One day, a long time ago, the Warriors of the Past disappeared and they were reborn as spirits. I don't exactly know how you got freed, but no other spirit was. Ceritymon, you have to let Izumi take over."
Ceritymon looked at him and then looked at the ground. She tried to comprehend what this Digimon was saying, but she couldn't believe it. She turned to Couragomon. "So, you're not Couragomon?" Her eyes were so sad and she looked so depressed.
Takuya shook his head. "I'm sorry," he said.
Suddenly, Ceritymon started to glow. "I'm sorry too, for taking the one you really love away from you," she stated with a tear. Then, she changed back into Izumi, but Izumi wasn't conscious so Takuya caught her.
"Okay, two more and we're done," Tundremon stated and nodded firmly.
"I'm totally confused," Couragomon stated, blinking.
"I'll explain later, just make Sabermon see that you're holding Izumi," Tundremon answered. "I'm sure that will work."
Couragomon was totally confused, but he went along with the plan anyway.
Glaciusmon was in bad shape. He was almost ready to pass out when Tundremon came back. "Did you guys free Izumi?" he asked.
"Yep," Tundremon replied. "And I've got a plan for Junpei as well."
"Good, because I'm really getting tired," Glaciusmon replied.
Darkagoomon stopped suddenly and then asked, "Tell me where the Warrior of Love is or I'll destroy you in a heartbeat." He brought out a sharp sword and pointed it at Glaciusmon.
Suddenly, Couragomon flew straight in front of both Darkagoomon and Sabermon. Sabermon got a flash of jealousy and went after him. Darkagoomon still pointed the sword at Glaciusmon.
"Why does he want Alex so badly?" Tundremon asked.
"I don't know, but he's not-" Kouji stated.
"Love's Arrow!" a voice shouted from beside them. An arrow hit the sword and it flew to the ground. In the air, a bit above their battle was Metawomon. She flew down right in between them, facing Darkagoomon. "Darkagoomon, I can't believe you didn't change! I thought you would after everything I did!" She turned on Glaciusmon. "You told me that he would be better, Glaciusmon! Why isn't he better!" She closed her eyes and tears fell down her cheeks. "I blame this all on myself. I didn't help anyone but myself. It wasn't worth it. It didn't help anything..."
"Alex?" Glaciusmon asked, confused. "What are you talking about?"
Metawomon wiped her tears and looked at Glaciusmon with surprise. "Glaciusmon? You...don't...remember me?" she asked, scared.
"What is going on?" Glaciusmon asked.
"I can answer that," Tundremon stated, interrupting Glaciusmon's and Metawomon's conversation. "Metawomon, the REAL Metawomon, is in control at the moment. She must've taken over Alex for some reason. Maybe it was the same reason that Ceritymon took over Izumi."
"Wait, what?" Glaciusmon asked, but Tundremon ignored him.
"Metawomon?" Tundremon asked.
"Yes, Tundremon?" Metawomon asked, a bit afraid and confused.
"Alex is the human which holds your spirit. You were reborn when you guys all disappeared-" Tundremon started.
"I know all that, Tundremon," Metawomon stated. "I should, at least, since I'm the one who did it."
Tundremon and Glaciusmon stood with their mouths open. "WHAT!" they asked.
"Night Shade!" Darkagoomon yelled suddenly and it hit Metawomon in the back, knocking her unconscious and making her turn back into Alex. Darkagoomon caught the unconscious Alex and flew away before either Glaciusmon or Tundremon could do anything.
"ALEX!" they both yelled. They went up to try to get her back, but he disappeared along with the huge female Digimon.
"No," Glaciusmon whispered to himself.
They both went to the ground and changed back into themselves. "What are we going to do now?" Kouji asked Lucas.
"I don't know, for once, I really don't know anything we can do," Lucas replied. "Alex is gone and we have no way of finding out where they went."
"This is really the worst situation we've been in so far," Kouji stated, sighing and walking over to find the others.
"You can say that again," Lucas replied, following Kouji.
(A/n: Darn right he could! Man, this is just getting juicier and juicier! I love it! Oh, and what about the whole real spirits taking over thing? Too much? I don't know, I kinda like it. We still don't know why Lucas wasn't controlled. Does it aggravate you? And who was that female Digimon? What did she want with Alex? And why take Kouji first and the others? Is Junpei free or still under her control? What's going to happen! Well, I'll tell you...eventually. And this was a nice long chapter for the nice people who waited so long for it! I will continue until it is done this time! Wheet-whoo!)
