Author's Notes: Well, the Hunter Destined and DigiDestined are going to face off here. A few familiar characters are going to appear in this episode, characters that aren't from Digimon. Like I said in the Crest of Myths profile, this would be the last episode for Power of Ownalis and after this; Power of Ownalis would be officially over. That is unless fans and readers review positively, pressuring me to continue on, then I just might.

I need to say this before I forget: Star Mystics is the biggest challenge and story I would ever write, if I get to finish it all, even bigger than Spirit Jerebis. All the nicknames might not appear so here they are: Remia...

Star Mystics: Power of Ownalis

Episode 20: "Dark Destined Arena"

Previously on Power of Ownalis: Takeru here, our destination has been set. A.J. didn't know what Stan was talking about. Peter found himself, alive, in the Limbo Dimension. A young man with his creature took Peter with him, out of the Limbo Dimension. Luis has resigned from Code Union. It's been two days since the deadly battle. We all thought we would die in it. We were all unconscious and weak until A.J. cured us and defeated the monster. I wonder where he is and how he's doing. On with the conclusion.


The DigiDestined stopped in their place, at the entrance of Starmoon Village. It was prosperous, yet small village. Leomon looked around with Scott; Carol and the other Digimon.

"I guess onward." Tai shrugged

"Talk about old western." Carol whispered

The group walked into the village, heading to the nearest inn. The village was made of wood, well made and sealed from outdoor weather. The streets and paths were sandy, the late afternoon star blazing down onto the village. The inn's door swing forwards, opening. The Digimon all around turned to look at the new comers. The Digimon started whispering, taking glances again and again at the DigiDestined. Kari cuddled up to Tai. Kate and Stacey cuddled up to Carol.

Scott just shook his head.

"My kind of place. Well civilized." Leomon nodded

"If you'll excuse us." Victomon excused

He headed towards the bar with Hawkmon.

"Let's get a drink. We need it." Joe decided

The group separated onto different tables. Izzy was the only one who didn't move. Tentomon was forced to stay with him on his own will. Izzy was staring at the bar, in a certain direction. His laptop was on his back.

"Come on Izzy." Tentomon urged

Izzy blinked, not moving.

"Tentomon, look at the bar in the center." Izzy whispered

"Yes, I am and I see..." Tentomon paused, gasping in his throat.

"... Humans?" He whispered

Two humans with long hair were at the center of the bar, drinking something. They were wearing desert clothing. One's hair color was black, muscular and big, and the other's white, athletic and slim.

"Let's check them out." Izzy decided

"They might be dangerous." Tentomon whispered

"We haven't met any humans other than the ones we met up here and minus the group, it's less than ten." Izzy explained

Izzy approached the two men. The eyes of the DigiDestined following him. Leomon was at the bar with Victomon and Hawkmon; he was eyeing the two humans as well. Izzy stopped behind them, in the center, between them. The two men stopped, sensing someone behind them.

"Friend or foe?" The left one asked in an Irish accent, the black-haired one.

"Friend." Izzy replied

The man turned around, his black eyes widening in surprise.

"Flynn, take a look at this." The black-haired nudged his friend

"What Michaleen?" He asked

He turned his head to Izzy and gasped.

"Kids?" He asked

Izzy blinked. He was speechless. He realized they were speaking English but he didn't know it.

"What's the matter?" Michaleen asked

Izzy knew sign language and through it, mentioned that he didn't speak English. Michaleen turned to Flynn.

"Understand sign language buddy?" Michaleen asked

"Took it as part of my studies back on Earth. He said that he doesn't speak English." Flynn replied

Flynn asked something to Izzy in the sign language and Izzy replied back. Flynn sighed

"What is it?" Michaleen asked

"He's Japanese." Flynn replied

"Really? Ask him if they're more of him." Michaleen requested

"Wouldn't hurt." Flynn shrugged

In sign language, he asked Izzy if there were others. Izzy nodded and nodded towards his friends.

"We aren't alone." Joe muttered

"It seems Izzy is handling them pretty well." Sora whispered

"What's that movement he and the human are doing?" Biyomon asked

"That's sign language." Carol replied

"I didn't know that Izzy knew sing language." Matt stated

"None of us did." Tai agreed

Flynn and Michaleen both stood up and walked with Izzy towards the rest of the group. The four passed by Hawkmon; Yolei; Scott; Leomon; Victomon and Davis. Scott and Leomon stared at the two. Silently, Scott and Leomon followed them. Flynn; Michaleen; Izzy and Tentomon all reached the rest of the DigiDestined.

"I was wondering if any of you understood English." Michaleen requested

"I do." A voice replied from behind

Flynn sighed, "Don't do that, please." He requested

"Name's Scott." The voice greeted, showing himself.

"I know English as well. Name's Carol Jallivic." Carol added, standing up.

"What is your business here?" Flynn asked

Carol turned to the DigiDestined, with them staring back at her. She sighed and turned back to Flynn and Michaleen.

"We're here to defeat... correction, they're here to defeat bad Digimon ass, simply put." Scott replied

"You aren't with them?" Michaleen asked

Scott shrugged, "I'm just accompanying them. I don't have a Digimon and I'm planning to stay here temporarily." He explained

"What?" Carol asked

Scott blinked, "You expected me to stay until the end? I might get killed! I'm taking no risks there." He shook his head

"But you saved Biyomon and Tentomon back at Infinity Mountain!" Carol exclaimed

Scott shrugged, "Doesn't mean anything. I didn't want to see them hurt back then." He replied

Carol growled and quieted down.

"... So you're all planning to defeat Etemon, how?" Flynn asked

"They'll get their crests first." Carol replied

"Oh. Haven't reached ultimate yet then." Michaleen nodded

"Have any ideas on where to go, from here on?" Flynn asked

Carol shook her head. The DigiDestined looked at each other, all silent, wondering what the talk was all about. Carol noticed and explained it to them in Japanese. Tai growled and stood up straight from his seat. He pointed straight at Scott.

"You! You're coming!" He growled

Scott raised his eyebrow, "Like you're going to stop me?" He asked

Matt stood up, putting his hands on the table.

"We both are, even if it means dragging you along." He added

"If I may suggest something. There is an arena close by; one of you might find a crest there." Michaleen informed

Flynn shook his head, "No, no. I'm sure you won't. I've explored this land and you just stay here. The Crest of Courage is in a cave, nearby a Koromon village." He explained

"Where is this Koromon village?" Carol asked

"Somewhere out of this desert, but on this continent." Flynn replied, shrugging.

"Have you even seen it?" Scott asked

Leomon quickly understood both English and Japanese. He translated to the DigiDestined what was being said.

Flynn nodded, "That I have lad."

"Can you guide us there?" Carol asked

Flynn shrugged, "Wouldn't hurt." He replied

The DigiDestined stood up, ready to leave.

"How far is it?" Carol asked

"A few hours walk from here to the east." Flynn replied

Carol nodded and the DigiDestined left the inn, leaving Scott and Michaleen behind.

"Did we mention about who's leader?" Tai asked

"You." Joe replied

"Yeah. Well, Matt can be co-leader; after that T.K. is co-leader and last is Davis as co-leader." Tai informed

T.K. and Davis remained silent, yet were emotionally happy and Carol noticed. They were out of sight of Starmoon, walking.

"Shouldn't we give each other nicknames?" Mimi asked

"What for?" Biyomon asked

"To call ourselves by our nicknames, so that the enemy won't get to know our birth names, right?" Izzy asked

Mimi nodded.

"Well, I'm Radiance from the start." Tai started, grinning.

"Skate." Matt muttered

"Sky." T.K. smiled

"Dragon." Davis nodded

"Dance." Sora decided

"Petal." Kari whispered

"Chip." Koushiro informed

"Fountain." Joe stated

"Lilly of Sincerity." Mimi nodded

"Circuit." Yolei decided

"You know? We're a squad and every squad has a captain. Since Tai is our leader, he's the captain." Carol commented

Tai grinned, "And since Matt; T.K. and Davis are all co-leaders, they're like lieutenants."

Matt shrugged.


Zack sighed, watching from the front seat row, while Weemon and Hitmon trained against each other in the large arena. The arena was roman style and every Hunter DigiDestined was there some place. Zack was alone with Pyromon beside him. Both were watching Weemon and Hitmon train. Jimothen and Yamicho interfered with the training when the training got to dangerous.

A few times it did and once Weemon was close in deleting Hitmon. The same went for Hitmon, as a few times, he almost deleted Weemon. On that matter, it was apparent that Hitmon was winning. They were all still in Hunter Caverns. A few days had past since they had fought against Zeed Millenniummon.

"Got to meet your role model, didn't ya?" Pyromon asked

Zack glared down at Pyromon and snarled.

"That no son-of-bitch deserved to be deleted. I'm talking about Zeed Millenniummon." Zack informed

Pyromon growled and turned his attention back to the training match.

"You're right on that one Zack. You'll have to admit though; we looked good and were stronger together and with the DigiDestined." He commented

Zack shrugged, "It seems so."

"If you were to choose a nickname, what would it be?" Pyromon asked

Zack blinked and turned his attention down to Pyromon.

"Ah?" He asked

Pyromon turned to his hunter.

"You heard me well Zack." He replied

Zack turned away from Pyromon and shrugged.

"Spice I guess." He muttered

Pyromon chuckled, "Spice! What kind of nickname is that?" He asked

Zack hissed, "Spice is hot and it burns, which could mean different things. Also, there are different types of spices. I like the variety in spice." He explained

"Oh. Gee, don't bite my head off." Pyromon remarked

"You mean burn." Zack corrected, grinning.

Pyromon rolled his eyes. Sara approached Zack and sat down next to him, with Ivymon sitting down next to Sara. Zack glanced her way once, acknowledging her presence. Both were silent for a few moments and Ivymon mentally sighed with Pyromon. Both knew that Zack and Sara wanted to be both alone. Ivymon got off of her seat and walked over to Pyromon.

"Wanna train?" Ivymon asked, winking.

Understanding her intention, Pyromon nodded.

"Sure thing. I'll wipe your ass." Pyromon hissed, teasingly.

Ivymon shivered, "Oh! I'm so scared." She remarked, sarcastically.

Both walked away and out into the arena. They started a training match, which Pyromon initiated. The two are away a safe distance from the training Hitmon and Weemon, also away from Zack and Sara, so that they could speak among themselves in silence.

"If someone asked you for your nickname, what would it be?" Zack asked, turning his attention to Sara.

Sara blushed and lowered her gaze, with her legs fudging back and forth. She took a silent moment to think of it. She didn't raise her gaze when she replied.

"Sprout." She replied

Zack nodded, "Mine is Spice." He informed

"Where were you born?" Sara asked, finally rising her gaze and staring at Zack.

Zack sighed and stared out at the arena.

"In Berlin, Germany." Zack replied

"Is that all you're going to say?" Sara asked

In the distance, Maria saw the two talking and she became jealous. It was obvious to her from where she was that both Zack and Sara were interested in each other. Purrmon glanced at where Maria was looking at and shook her head slightly, understanding and sensing her human's grief. She turned her head away from them and walked away with Purrmon. Maria started to hate Sara.

'Kitten.' Maria thought, sighing.

"My father was a black African and my mom was a white German. At their time, it wasn't allowed for a black and white person to fall in love, but they did and eventually secretly got married and lived together. They had me, but they sent me to the U.S., knowing that I would be proof of their marriage and love if anybody was to ever find out. I grew up in an orphanage and went from foster home to foster home, always escaping.

"I met Pyromon from my most recent escape from my recent foster home." Zack explained

"... What about you?" He asked, turning to Sara.

"Nothing like that. I can see that there's some German accent in your voice. I'm... Turkish, Muslim Turkish. I was born in Bursa, Turkey into a wealthy family. The family had its own mansion you could say in the country and that's where I lived. Like any other wealthy child or some wealthy kids, I wanted my own freedom and to play." Sara explained happily

"To play? You never played in your mansion?" Zack asked, staring at Sara.

Sara shook her head, "I was to study and be taught to act and behave like a princess, even though I wasn't nor was the family of any royalty. Considering the family's wealth, we are of nobility. My parents and tutors didn't allow me to play outside and because of that I don't have any friends of any sort, until now. Yes, I had dolls to play with, yet that wasn't who I was. I was the kind of girl who wanted to play outside and to play sports." She informed

"How did you and Ivymon meet?" Zack asked

"Well, I met Ivymon -back then she was in her fresh form of Sighmon- while I was hiding in the basement of the mansion, several days back. Sighmon had a D-3 with her and with it, I and her came here. When we got here, it appeared that we were the first and Sighmon had become rookie, Ivymon." Sara explained, recalling her memories.

"Zack! I have some information you might like to hear." Andrew stated, rushing over to them with Torusmon.

He stopped near them, with Zack and Sara staring at him. He took a moment to catch his breath, slowly recovering from his panting. Torusmon stopped next to him.

"What's your nickname?" Sara asked

Andrew blinked and raised his head. He scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"What does that have to do with anything? Anyway, it's Static. Zack, I think you'll like what I just found out." He smiled

Zack blinked and glanced at Sara, before returning his gaze at Andrew.

"What?" He asked

"Follow me and both of you will see." Andrew replied, walking away and motioning them to follow.

Torusmon was beside Andrew, walking away with him. Sara and Zack glanced out at the arena to see Ivymon and Pyromon talking. They glanced at each other and nodded. Both stood up and followed Andrew.


"We're here." Flynn stopped in front of a small Koromon village

The DigiDestined; Carol and Leomon all stopped along with Flynn.

"What about the Crest?" Tai asked

"It's in a cave close by." Flynn replied

Tai blinked, all of sudden understanding every word Flynn said. Flynn grinned, noticing.

"It happens. The Digi-World is a wondrous place. If two people from different countries and the two speak different languages, then put them together in the Digi-World and they'll eventually be able to understand each other and each other's language." Flynn explained

Tai's lips twitched, "What is it with all you computer geeks!" He exclaimed

Izzy grinned, "We speak a language of our own. Quiet interesting insight you have Flynn." He agreed

Tai rolled his eyes.

"Can you take us to the cave?" Agumon asked

"Me?" Flynn asked

Agumon nodded. Flynn shrugged.

"Sure. I have no problem in that." He replied

"If none of you mind, I'll come with you three." Leomon requested

"You're welcome to come Leomon." Tai nodded

"We'll be waiting inside then." Matt nodded

He started walking on into the village, followed silently by Gabumon. Slowly and one by one the others followed him, until only Leomon; Flynn; Tai and Agumon were the only ones left.

"Onto the cave?" Flynn asked

Tai nodded, "Yes." He replied

"Let's go." Flynn sighed

Flynn walked into an opposite direction the other DigiDestined took and it was away from the village. Next were Tai and Agumon and in the rear was Leomon.


It wasn't a big surprise that Margaret was in the Control Cavern with Albamon. Both were staring at a monitor when Andrew; Sara; Zack and Torusmon all entered the room. Andrew immediately walked over to Margaret and Albamon, glancing at the monitor with them, to see what was happening. He glanced at Zack and Sara, motioning them over. Zack and Sara obliged and blinked at what they were watching.

"Where is it?" Tai's voice asked

Zack's blood boiled and his fists clenched in anger. Andrew noticed.

"Switch to the others." He informed

Margaret had the monitor change to that of the other DigiDestined eating with their Digimon in one of the Koromon homes. Zack turned his attention towards Andrew, his eyes glaring.

"Just what is the idea in letting me see all this?" He asked, barely keeping his temper.

Andrew grinned, "None of them have received their crests yet and so with Zeed Millenniummon and the others out of the way, we'll be able to defeat them." He explained

"How?" Sara asked

"We can bring them here." Margaret informed

Zack blinked, "Seriously? How?" He asked

Andrew shifted his sight back to the monitor and Margaret had switched it back to Tai. Andrew's eyes widened, as Tai found his orange crest of courage. He shook his head.

"No." He whispered

Zack sweat-dropped, "There goes your big plan." He snickered

"This can still work. Teleport them all to the arena. Hitmon; Weemon; Pyromon and Ivymon would be waiting for them. We need to defeat them before any others find their crests, and before Tai activates his." Andrew explained

Before anymore talking could go on. Loud music was heard from the monitor, throughout the Control Cavern. The occupants in the cavern closed their ears as best as they could, trying their best to shut the music out of their ears.

"Etemon!" Zack yelled

"That little monkey filth!" Torusmon yelled

"Teleport them to the arena now!" Andrew yelled

The other DigiDestined appeared behind Etemon on the monitor and beyond him were Tai; Agumon; Leomon and Flynn.

"What about the others!" Albamon yelled

"Leave them alone!" Andrew replied

Albamon nodded. She pressed a few buttons and the DigiDestined disappeared from the screen. Moments later, battle was heard outside in the arena.

"Turn off the monitors." Andrew informed

Margaret was more than willing to do it and she did. The monitors went black, being shut off; with the music and Etemon's astounded face vanishing.

"Let's go meet our adversaries." Zack decided

"Let's." Sara nodded

The entire group in the Control Cavern left it and went towards the Arena.


Hitmon and Weemon stopped their training instantly and Pyromon and Ivymon got to their feet the moment the DigiDestined and their Digimon appeared. The DigiDestined were disoriented and their Digimon were confused. The Hunter Digimon weren't confused at all and all four went straight for the attack. Victomon avoided a punch from Weemon. Hitmon went straight for Hawkmon.

"Flying Kick!" Hitmon yelled

Quickly recovering, Hawkmon jumped backwards from the attack, avoiding it.

"Feather Strike!" Hawkmon yelled

"Lightning Fist!" Hitmon countered

Feather Strike collided with Hitmon's lightning fists and it was reflected back to Hawkmon. Hawkmon caught it and put it back in its place. Hitmon was about to charge Hawkmon, as Pyromon rushed at Agumon and Ivymon rushed at Palmon.

"Hunters!" Zack yelled, coming down to the arena. "Hold your ground!"

Instantly, Hitmon; Pyromon and Ivymon all stopped in their position, glaring at their counter-part Digimon. Zack marched straight towards Tai, with the DigiDestined confused, and Tai just staring back in confusion at Zack. Andrew approached Izzy more civilized. Andrew nodded his head and offered his hand. Izzy took it and both shook hands. Zack's eyes narrowed and he punched Tai in the face.

The punch forced Tai backwards onto the ground on his butt. Kari instantly was next to her brother, as was Agumon and Gatomon. Daisuke and the other DigiDestined guys tensed up, preparing for a fight. Zack just glared straight into Tai's eyes, standing over him. Zack spat onto the ground close to Tai and he glanced back at Tai.

"I've always hated you." He hissed

Tai's eyes narrowed in utter confusion. Behind them, Maria pulled Sara aside and slapped her across the face, before walking away with Purrmon. Sara was speechless, holding onto her slapped cheek, staring at the withdrawing Maria and her Purrmon. Zack stared back upwards were Margaret and Albamon stayed.

"Bring them back. We'll face them when they're ready to take on us and we're ready to take on them." Zack explained

Margaret and Albamon both nodded and rushed back out of sight, towards the Control Cavern. Tai held his arm out and quickly sat up.

"Wait..." His voice vanished though with his body and the other DigiDestined

Silence roamed the arena and everyone was quiet, in their own thoughts.
