********************************************************

The next morning, everyone was at the school. When they all saw Kouichi
they yelled out with happiness.
"I'd knew he'd be alright, if he's anything like Koji," J.P. said with a
big smirk on his face
"Oh, really?" Henry asked. "That's not what you said last night."
J.P. looked at Henry. "Shut up."
"Heh." Henry laughed. "You are hard to get, J.P."
"Maybe we should fight tomorrow, since Kouichi just got back. and he's
hurt." Kari pleaded.
Kouichi just put his hand on Kari's shoulder and smiled at her. "I'll be
fine, Kari. A Legendary Warrior has to be prepared at all times. I've had
it worst before."
Kari knew he was lying, but what could she say? She knew that deep down
inside he was hurting. She just nodded her head.
"Kouichi?" Koji walked up to his brother. "You sure?"
"I'm fine. trust me. would I lie to you, Koji?" Kouichi smiled.
"Alright, then. let's go." Izzy said.
"Yeah, let's do it!" yelled Takuya.
"For the fate of our world and the Digital World!" Takato said. "Together!"
"Let's squash that stupid rabbit," Tai smiled.
"United as one!" Davis cheered.
"Yeah!" everyone agreed.
The Digidestined and Tamers went through the portal to the Digital World
and ended up in the Dark Terminal, where Cherubimon's castle was located.
"The Dark Terminal sure is dark." Joe joked.
"It's. so cold." Kari shivered. "I don't like it here, Tai. Let's get this
over and done with."
"Don't worry, Kari," smiled her brother. "We won't let anything bad happen
like before."
"Before?" Kouichi asked as he looked at Kari who was still shivering with
fright. "Kari." His voice made Kari look up at him. "I promise you. nothing
will happen. Trust me. okay?"
The sound of Kouichi's voice made her feel warm and safe. She smiled in
agreement. "I trust you.Kouichi."
"What about me, Kari?" Davis pleaded. "I'm here, too!!"
Kari giggled. "You, too, Davis."
"Come on," Takato pulled out his golden D-power. "Let's do this."
"Right," Takuya reached in his pocket and whipped out his D-tector.
"Agumon, it's show time!" Tai shouted.
"Gabumon!" Matt yelled. "Digivolve to mega!"
"Agumon warp digivolve to. Wargreymon!"
"Gabumon warp digivolve to. Metalgarurumon!"
"Veemon digivolve to. Exveemon!"
"Wormmon digivolve to. Stingmon!"
"Exveemon."
"Stingmon."
"DNA digivolve to. Paildramon!"
"Digimodify!" Takato, Henry and Rika slashed a Blue Card though their D-
powers. "Matrix Digivolution, activate!"
"Guilmon Matrix digivolve to. Wargrowlmon!"
"Terriermon Matrix digivolve to. Rapidmon!"
"Renamon Matrix digivolve to. Taomon!"
Takuya held up his D-tector. "Double Spirit Evolution! Aldamon!"
Koji did the same. "Double Spirit Evolution! Beowulfmon!"
"Biyomon digivolve to. Birdramon!"
"Tentomon digivolve to. Kabuterimon!"
"Palmon digivolve to. Togemon!"
"Gomamon digivolve to. Ikkakumon!"
"Hawkmon digivlove to. Aquilamon!"
"Armadillomon digivolve to. Ankylomon!"
"Digiarmor, energize!" yelled Kari and T.K.
"Patamon armor digivolve to. Pegasusmon!"
"Gatomon armor digivolve to. Nerfertimon!"
"Lopmon digivolve to. Antylamon!"
"Beast Spirit Evolution!" the frontier kids held their D-tectors high in
the air as Digicodes surrounded them.
"Korikakumon!"
"Zephyrmon!"
"Metalkabuterimon!"
"Kaiserleomon!"
"Let's go!" Matt shouted as he hopped on Metalgarurumon's back. At those
actions, the others hopped on their Digimon and started at full speed to
the castle.. All except for Jeri and Kenta that is.
"HEY!!" yelled Kenta as he and Jeri ran after them. "We can't ride our
Digimon like you guys can! WAIT!!!" Then he tripped over his own feet and
fell making him land flat on his face.
"Are you okay, Kenta?" Jeri asked as she held Calumon and Marinangemon.
"Never. felt. better." came a muffled reply.
"Hey, Kenta, dude," Kazu stood over him. "Quit playing around! This is
serious business! I knew you were never fit to be a Tamer. Get up, stupid!"
"You can't boss me around anymore, Kazu!" Kenta got up to faced Kazu only
to sulk in utter defeat. He knew he was no match for him. "Just give me a
ride."
"You can ride with me, Jeri," Takato said softly as he helped Jeri on
Wargrowlmon.
The Digidestined and Tamers rode until they saw a giant dark castle in the
distance. They stopped and looked at each other, wondering if they should
move on. "Do you think Cherubimon is there?" Henry asked.
"I don't know." Izzy replied. "Maybe. Let's hope he is."
"Hope? How can you make running into Cherubimon sound good? I wouldn't hope
for this!" Metalkabuterimon said.
"Let's get going, gang." Korikakumon said as he began to walk towards the
castle.
"Right," Aldamon replied as he and the others followed.
"Stop right where you are!!" A Digimon appeared in front of the children.
"Daemon?!" Ken growled.
"You again?" Beowulfmon glared at Daemon.
"You're not getting one step closer to that castle, Digidestined and Digi
Tamers!" growled Daemon.
"What makes you so sure, Daemon?!" Kaiserleomon shouted with anger.
A smirk appeared on Daemon's face as he glared at Kaiserleomon. "You would
have made a great leader, Kouichi."
"You wish!" said Kaiserleomon angerly.
Daemon chuckled evilly. "I got what I wanted anyhow."
"What do you mean?" Wargreymon asked.
"Mercuremon, will you make sure these children don't get any closer to Lord
Cherubimon's castle while I go get our special guest?" asked Daemon as
Mercuremon appeared.
"Thy will be honored," Mercuremon said with a smear on his face.
"You don't look so tough, you spiky conehead!" Rapidmon said.
"Dost thou underestimate me?" Mercuremon then smiled evilly. "We will see."
"I'll take care of him!" Taomon pulled out her brush. "Talisman of Light!"
"Heh, heh, heh, heh! Dark Refelction!" Mecemon sent Taomon's attack back at
her, but the attack was darkened.
"Ahhh!" yelled Taomon as she fell to the floor.
"Taomon!" Rika ran up to her partner's said. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Rika," replied Taomon as she got up.
"I'm back." Daemon emerged from the shadows. "And so is he. you may take
your leave now, Mercuremon."
"As you wish." Mercuremon then disappeared.
Silence fell upon the group as they looked at Daemon nervously. Finally,
Aldamon broke the silence. "So, where's your special guest? Where is he?
Did he chicken out?" Then Aldamon started laughing.
"Dark Vortex!" something shot dark ring-like beams at Aldamon who jumped
out of the way and looked for the source of the attack. His eyes widened as
he and the others saw a giant flying bird. He looked like a devil bird and
his eyes were thirsty for blood.
Kaiserleomon looked on in shock. "No. it--it can't be!!"
"Isn't that.?!" Aldamon began also in shock.
"Velgmon!!" Beowulfmon then glared at Daemon.
"But. how?" Kaiserleomon asked. Then his attention was directed towards
Daemon who was laughing evilly.
"When you were knocked out I made copies of your Spirits and returned them
to their corrupted forms."
"Must destroy. must kill. LIGHT!!" Velgmon then flew at Beowulfmon at full
force. Beowulfmon didn't have time to react.
"Terra Force!" Wargreymon shot a ball of energy at Velgmon, making him fly
out of the way and away from Beowulfmon.
"Thanks," Beowulfmon said. Then he was about to take out his saber when he
noticed that Velgmon was circling everyone. Then he gasped. "EVERYONE GET
OUT OF THE CIRCLE!!"
But it was too late. The circle was complete. This was Velgmon's ultimate
attack. The attack that could wipe out anything in his path. "Dark
Obliteration!!" The circle covered everyone in total darkness. When the
darkness cleared, everyone returned to their original forms.
"Too. strong." Agumon whimpered.
"Velgmon, Slide Evolution! Duskmon!" Duskmon then walked up to Koji and
grabbed him by the neck. "Light. my enemy."
All Koji could do was look Duskmon straight in the eye. He was too weak to
move. "You. will never.uhn. win."
"Koji!" Kouichi yelled. He couldn't move either. "No!"
"Renamon, do something!" Rika pleaded.
"Uhn!" Renamon got up. "Diamond Storm!" She shot a storm of diamonds at the
dark Digimon, but he just drew out his blade and blocked the attack.
Renamon then collapsed to the ground. "Too. powerful."
"I will take my leave now. destroy them all." Daemon then disappeared.
"Let him go!" Kari ordered. "Let Koji go, you evil thing!"
"I will destroy you next. You are the other light child. but he. he is my
ultimate enemy. I must destroy him first." Duskmon put his blade close to
Koji's neck. "GOODBYE, LIGHT!"
"KOJI!" Kouichi yelled as tears rolled down his face.
"Corona Blaster!"
A purple beam separated Koji and Duskmon. Duskmon let go of Koji to avoid
the beam. The purple beam came from a human- like Digimon with wings.
"It's Beelzemon!" Guilmon cheered.
"Hmm." Duskmon and Beelzemon stared each other down. Then Duskmon turned
his back against the mega. "I will destroy you all later. Duskmon, Slide
Evolution! Velgmon!" Velgmon flew from sight as Beelzemon turned into his
rookie form, Impmon.
"Impmon! Thanks a lot!" Takato said joyfully.
"No prob." Impmon replied as he looked to where Velgmon had flew off.
Tai then got up slowly and looked at everyone else who was doing the same.
"Everyone okay?"
"Well, I'm not dead." Kazu joked.
"Is that good or bad?" Matt asked joke fully.
"Very funny." Kazu groaned.
"Koji!" Kouichi ran to his brother. "Are you okay?"
"Fine," Koji said as Kouichi helped him up.
"Davis!" Veemon ran to his human partner. "Tell me, what hurts?"
"Oh. just about everything." Davis replied.
"Ken, are you okay?" Wormmon asked.
"I'm alright, I think." Then Ken looked at the sky. "What in the world was
that thing?!"
"Last time we fought him he wasn't at all that powerful." Koji replied.
Then he looked at his brother who was staring at the sky.
"That's his true power." Kouichi explained. "A power I managed to hold
back. now I know what Cherubimon meant by letting the darkness embrace me.
to see his true power. of Darkness."
"What do you mean?" Kari asked. "What are you talking about?"
Kouichi didn't hear her. "With no one to hold him back. he's
unstoppable."
"How can you be so sure? There has to be a way!" Tai yelled.
"I'm so sure because I was him." Kouichi replied as he looked at the others
who gasped.
Ken was shocked. "What?"
Kouichi knew he couldn't hide his past forever. "When. when I first came to
the Digital World. I. met Cherubimon. he. told me that Koji and our father
hurt my mother. I felt angry. and betrayed. strange world, alright. the
next thing I know. is seeing the corrupted Spirit of Darkness. and the
pain. it was too much. I guess I must have passed out. then I remember
waking up as Duskmon. I forgot what being human was about. I was given a
mission to destroy some human children after Arbormon had failed. isn't it
ironic how the same children I tried to destroy end up saving my life?"
Kouichi laughed silently, but there was nothing funny to laugh at.
"Cherubimon messed with my mind. Made me think the only way to avenge my
mother was to destroy my brother. even Koji didn't know I was his brother.
that is. until I told him. I know it was a great shock for Koji. it was a
great shock for me when my grandmother told me of him. Cherubimon. he."
Then Kouichi began to choke on his tears. "He messed with my mind and my
heart. he made me fight my own brother. then told me it was all my doing
and not his. he told me I was his most willing puppet. I know the darkness
in my heart will never go away. but. that's what make Lowemon and
Kaiserleomon so powerful. isn't it?"
"You're wrong, Kouichi," Koji interrupted. "Love.hope. faith. that's what
makes them powerful. remember that."
"Koji. I. I'm so sorry! What Cherubimon said was true! My heart once filled
with angry and jealousy and darkness became the only comfort for my pain.
he used that to control me. The Spirit of Darkness chooses its owner. and
it chose me." Kouichi then began to cry.
"Kouichi." Kari didn't know what to say. She then looked at the others who
were looking at each other, half with understanding, half with fear.
Ken noticed everyone's fear. "I know Kouichi will never do the horrible
things he had done in the past. I trust him. but. I'm not so sure about
you." He motioned to the others that he meant them.
"But he could easily be corrupted again." Kazu yelled. "That's what makes
us afraid of him. he knows our weaknesses! He could return to the dark side
at any second and destroy us! How can you trust a person like that, Ken?!"
"Because." Ken began.
"It's okay, Ken," Kouichi suddenly said. "I'll leave if they want me to. I
don't blame them. what I have done is beyond belief. I must be the worst
Digidestined ever. attacking my own brother."
"At least you didn't kill hundreds of innocent Digimon in order to control
the Digital World." Ken said harshly.
"Ken? What are you doing! We were suppose to keep that a secret so that the
others wouldn't cast you aside!" Yolei yelled.
"Sometimes our pasts must be revealed, Yolei," Ken replied. "In order to
fully understand the difference between corrupt and true evil. most people
think they mean the same thing but that's when they're wrong." Ken turned
to Kouichi who was watching him. "I became corrupted, too, Kouichi. After
my brother died. I felt that a part of me had died as well. I became
depressed. and angry. then. an email told me of another world. a world that
I could release my angry upon. so I did. I became the Digimon Emperor."
"Digimon Emperor? Isn't that what Arukenimon told me to be?" Kouichi asked.
"It is." replied Ken. "I murdered hundreds of Digimon. I treated Wormmon
badly. I made some of them my slaves in order to destroy the Digidestined."
Then tears rolled down Ken's face. "I turned Agumon against his human
partner. I killed Wormmon.and most importantly. I lost myself. I hurt my
parents who have been so good to me. "
"You know we forgive you, Ken." Wormmon whispered.
"That sounds. familiar." Takato said silently as he looked at Rika and
Henry. "It seems we all did horrorible things in the past."
"Yeah." Rika replied with sorrow. "We can't judge people for what they have
done in the past. the past doesn't make a person who they are. it's their
future."
"How.can you ever forgive me. if I can't even forgive myself?" Kouichi
asked the others.
"Don't you remember what I told you, Kouichi?" asked the Patamon in the
Frontier's group as he flew up to him. "Darkness doesn't have to be a bad
thing unless you choose to make it that way. Light and Dark are brothers.
One can't even live without the other."
"Thanks, Patamon." Kouichi said softly. "I'm just glad it's over."
"It's not completely over yet." began Tai.
"Yeah, we still need to defeat Cherubimon." Takato announced.
"I'm sorry, you guys," Izzy said sadly. "I let you all down. I thought for
sure my plan would work."
"Hey, no sweat, Izzy!" Tai gave Izzy a pat on the back. "We just need a
better plan, that's all."
Izzy looked at Tai with a smirk on his face. "It's not that easy."
"Momentie!" Terriermon cheered.
"What?" Gomamon asked the digital rabbit.
"It means, 'take it easy'," explained Terriermon.
"Oh!" then a big smile appeared on Gomamon's face. "Hey, I like that word!"
"Don't start!" scowled Joe.
"Momentie." Gomamon said quietly.
"What did you just say?" Joe asked.
"Nothing." replied Gomamon slyly.
"We'd better get out of here before Velgmon decides to come back for round
two," stated Izzy.
"That's a great idea, but go where?" Rika asked.
"How about Gennai's house?" T.K. suggested.
"Great thinking, T.K.," Matt replied. Then he gave his little brother a
playfully 'noogie' on his head. "You get smarter and smarter, little bro!"
"Hey!" yelled T.K. as he tried to break free from his older brother's grip.
"Maybe smarter than you!"
"You wish!" Matt laughed as he let go of T.K.
"Who?" Kenta asked. "Jenny?"
"No, GenNAI, you dork." Kazu replied. "Uh. my thoughts exactly.. WHO?"
"We'll explain everything later." Izzy said as he started walking north.
