File 06: Magical Duel, Light vs Darkness.

Seifer grabbed his red backpack from his bed and started to stuff it full of miscellaneous stuff. He had a feeling that they'd be in the digital world for at least the weekend. School had just started about two months ago and he knew that school would limit there time in the digital world. He packed several bags of snacks, and some first aid materials just to be safe. The last thing he did was put the bag on and started on his way to Hotaru's.

When Seifer arrived at Hotaru's he decided to wait outside for Stenr and Alette to show up. He had a gut feeling that he was the first one there. As he sat on Hotaru's porch he fiddled with his D-Cell and stared at the sky. "Guten Morgen!" Seifer said as he glanced up and noticed Alette and Stenr approach the walkway.

"Bonjour, Monsieur Seifer." Alette said as she reached the porch.

"Hey." Stenr said as he knocked on Hotaru's door. As soon as Hotaru opened the door the three of them entered the house and headed straight into the computer room.

"Everyone ready?" Hotaru asked as he brought up the gate program.

"Oui, bien sur!" Alette said as she raised her D-Cell to the screen.

"Gate Open!" everyone shouted in unison as the gate opened and sucked them in.

"They have returned!" Raijinmon said to his human servant who was kneeling in front of him and the other two ultimate level digimon.

"I'll go take care of them then." the girl said before she proceeded to walk out of the dark featureless cave.

Hotaru and the others were in the middle of a vast desert. There was no coverage anywhere around them, they walked in a group keeping their eyes open for any signs of an attack. As they walked through the desert a large ball of water fell from the sky, and stopped directly above the sand.

Suddenly the water exploded and two figures stood in it's place. The first of the two was the girl, she was wearing a black dress with lacy fringe, that ended right above her knees, white stalkings, tall black knee high high heeled boots, and elbow length black gloves. On her left wrist was a purple D-Cell with a black band, and a silver chain bracelet with a heart shaped charm. He hair went down to her shoulders and was pitch black, her hazel eyes reflected a desire for destruction. Next to her was what looked like a large purple winged hamster.

Hotaru quickly raised his D-Cell to analyze the digimon next to the girl. According to the D-Cell the digimon was Tsukaimon, a child level digimon. "Who are you?" Hotaru shouted as the girl just stared at them with a dark look in her eyes.

"I am the one who shall destroy you!" the girl shouted as she raised her D-Cell as if she was going to have her digimon partner evolve.

"Like we are afraid of you?" Hotaru said as Demidevimon readied to an attack.

"Tsukaimon, take them down!"

"Purple Fog!" Tsukaimon shouted as he shot a blast of purple fog from his mouth.

"Bat Flutter!" Demidevimon shouted as he started to flap his wings in an effort to sent the attack back at Tsukaimon. However instead the attack was dispersed throughout the area making everyone cough.

"Leormon, now!" Seifer shouted when he noticed his partner was ready to pounce.

"Don't interfere, this is a one on one match. We can handle this on our own. Plus it isn't nice to gang up on a girl." Hotaru shouted as he glared at Seifer.

"Listen to him, you don't want to make Hotaru mad at you." Stenr said as he put his hand on Seifer's shoulder.

"Right, I just hope she isn't to much for him to handle."

The two child level digimon kept their attacking and countering each other's attacks. The fight like it would end in a stalemate until the girl commanded Tsukaimon to evolve. When this happened the purple hamster with wings changed into a white skinned woman wearing a crimson red witch outfit, hat and all, with a black cape, black boots, and a broom. Stenr's D-Cell was the one that displayed the info on the new digimon. The D-Cell said it was Witchmon, adult level, and her attacks included Aquari Pressure, and Baru Luna Gale.

"Aquari Pressure!" Witchmon shouted as the water was gathered from the air and ground, then formed a bubble around Hotaru and Demidevimon, then started to shrink. Witchmon then flew behind the bubble, on her broom, and fired her Poison Storm attack, at Hotaru's back.

Inside the bubble Demidevimon quickly flew behind Hotaru when he sensed the attack, and took the attack him self. When this happened it caused Hotaru's D-Cell to activate and Demidevimon started to glow. "Demidevimon evolve to... Wizardmon!" Demidevimon called out ash he changed into a humanoid figure with a purple wizard's cap, and purple cape. Wizardmon's staff like wand, had what resembled a cross between a beehive and the sun, at the tip. His main outfit was a light yellow tone.

"Thunder Blaster!" Wizardmon shouted as he shot a blast of lightning from his wand at Witchmon who used one of her attacks to intercept it. Again these two digimon used several of their attacks back and forth, forming a large sphere of magical energy in between the two of them. This sphere kept growing.

"Do you guys see what I see?" Seifer asked as he stared at the duel that was going on.

"Wizard's Duel?" Stenr asked with a humorous tone.

"No you idiot. Both Hotaru and that girl have charms, though they are worn on opposite wrists the chains look identical."

"So what. A lot of girls have charm bracelets."

"They are reacting to each other." Alette said as she stared at the two humans who's digimon were dueling. Their bracelets were both glowing and shaking, with what appeared to be equal force.

"So what does that mean?" Stern asked a little confused.

"If we are converted to data when we come to the digital world, then so are our memories and thoughts. They are part of us after all. Well anyways if you are given something to protect you and you subconsciously believe it does what it is supposed to then in theory it should do that in the digital world." Seifer said as he kept his eyes on the large glowing sphere of energy that was beginning to look very unstable.

"That would make sense, but it is just one of your theories."

"Stenr, it may just be one of my theories but to me this looks almost seems like a stereotipic battle between light and darkness. I mean Hotaru is on our side and his digimon is a magician, but so is her's and she is against us. Good versus evil, light versus darkness."

"Baru Luna Gale!" Witchmon said as she fired a large blast of wind at Wizardmon, and Hotaru.

"Magical Game!" Wizardmon said as he fired a blast of energy from his staff at Witchmon. When these two attacks collided with the sphere at the same time the unstable mass exploded. The blast enveloped everyone and then when it subsided they were all gone.

"What happened to her?" Fuujinmon asked in an extremely disturbed tone.

"The blast they created enveloped them all, but I don't think it killed any of them. I don't think it hurt any of them." Suijinmon said as he stared at the instant replay that was playing on a holographic projector in front of them.

"That kid, with the Wizardmon, he had something protecting him. Whatever it was it also protected his friends. That blast just separated them." Raijinmon said in an upset tone.

Hotaru sat up and rubbed his head, when he looked around he was in the middle of what appeared to be the ruins of an ancient temple. Demidevimon was sitting on one of the many columns that laid on the ground near Hotaru.

"Damn it, that was one powerful blast."

"Hotaru, at least you are ok."

"Yeah, but what about the others?"

Stenr woke up in a wide open meadow, with no sign of any digimon for miles. He hadn't hit his head when landed, he was just teleported there, with out much knowledge of how or why. Stenr was worried about the tactical disadvantages of where he was, there was absolutely nowhere for him to take cover if he was attacked. To him it seemed like nothing more than a grassy desert.

Commandramon paced the area keeping an eye out for any enemy digimon, and keeping an eye on Stenr. "Stenr relax, I have everything under control."

Alette found herself, and the other girl, transported to some beach in the digital world.

"So looks like I can't destroy him yet, though I don't know why."

"Who are you?" Alette asked the girl who was wearing all black.

"I am the one who will destroy those who oppose the Trinity."

"That isn't what I asked!"

"I'll be nice this time and let you live, just so you can pass on the message." The girl said as she started to walk off "Come now Witchmon!"

Witchmon flew over to her and summoned a sphere of water that surrounded them then flew off. Alette just sat on the beach with Kudamon and looked out at the vast ocean. Kudamon curled up in her lap and fell asleep.

When Seifer woke up him and Leormon were in a pitch black forest. Seifer had no clue where any of the others were and he was slightly worried because of that. He knew that this would be the perfect situation for an ambush, especially if everyone were alone with their partner digimon.

"Seifer, where are we?"

"Leormon, I don't know. All I know is we are separated from our friends, and that can't be a good thing."

"Master Raijinmon, I am back." The girl said as she reentered the cave with her partner digimon, Tsukaimon.

"Good job Ayumi. You didn't defeat any of them but you did manage to weaken them substantially by splitting them up. Now they are vulnerable to ambushes." Raijinmon said as he reached one of his silver hand's out of the shadows and patted her on the head.

"If all else fails we will use our power to crush them." Fuujinmon said as he and Suijinmon turned and stepped deeper into the shadows.

Next Time

Seifer and Leormon are trying to find their way out of the forest they wound up in when they are attacked by a Grizzmon. It is upto GranLiamon to protect Seifer.
