DISCLAIMER: I do not own Digimons. So far, I own only Chaos Specter. This is the third chapter. The Vengeance series are in continuation with the Digimon anime, and the movie too, minus the third part onwards (Golden Digi-Eggs) and contain some references to the game Digimon World 3 (the name of the cities, trainings in Leomon's gym, and possibly the digimons in it later). Last but not least, I would like to thank im' dum and RB3 for their reviews (^_^).

VENGEANCE
- Chapter 03 - Save Our City -

Chaos Specter was pleased. Not only did his Chaos Generals managed to defeat the Digidestined easily, they even had stripped the Digidestined off their powers by destroying the digivices. Despite ChaosPiedmon's continuous complaints of ChaosWarGreymon's decision of letting go of the two Digidestined and their partners from being destroyed, Chaos Specter did not really seem to mind. After all, what could the powerless Digidestined do to stop him now that they no longer could make their partner digimons digivolve?
"Now is the perfect time to execute my next plan," he thought silently, while sitting on his throne. He was facing the four captive Harmonious Ones, and they all were quiet ever since they had witnessed the battle between the Digidestined and the Chaos Generals. Seeing that he couldn't get any of them talking, Chaos Specter turned the throne back to face the huge viewing screen in front of him. The screen flickered, and two identical digimons were shown, both were mechanical dragons digimon, one was brown with blue wings, and the other was all gray. "Megadramon and Gigadramon, I want you to attack Asuka sector and destroy it."
"Yes, master Chaos Specter," replied the two digimons simultaneously.
Chaos Specter smiled to himself. "It's no big deal if ChaosWarGreymon didn't want to destroy the Digidestined, I can simply send another digimon to finish the job." He then leaned back against the throne and looked down towards ChaosPiedmon and ChaosSeadramon.
"Why didn't you send us to do that, master?" ChaosPiedmon asked politely. "We could get the job done much more easily than those two Ultimates."
"I have another task for the two of you."
"What about ChaosWarGreymon?" ChaosSeadramon inquired.
"He has left the fortress earlier. I don't know where he had gone to."
"What do you have in mind for us to do, master?"
"Find ChaosWarGreymon, and tell me what he is up to."
*************************
Meanwhile, ChaosWarGreymon was flying alone without a destination set in mind. He needed fresh air to clear his mind. His most recent battle with the Digidestined's Imperialdramon FM had drained some of his powers, although he won't admit that to his fellow team-mates. But that was not what he was thinking, or what was making him confused. It was that girl, Kari.
'Why didn't I just finish the job and destroy her? Why had I hesitated?' he thought for himself. He began to think about Kari. There was something very familiar about her, but he didn't know exactly what. Her name and her ruby eyes were the only thing that he could have think of. ChaosWarGreymon's mind became blurred when he forced his mind to think of any connection he had with the child of Light. Searching for a starting point to start thinking, ChaosWarGreymon began to think of his past. Flashback
Although it was pretty much blurry, ChaosWarGreymon remembered the time when Chaos Specter had recruited him to become one of his three Chaos Generals. He was still a Koromon, but he didn't stay at the Koromon Village like the other Koromons. Instead, he opted to have an adventure of his own, as he wanted to make himself stronger and digivolve into a more powerful state. When he became Chaos Specter's henchman, he met his fellow teammates, Betamon and DemiDevimon. His two teammates were already Rookies while he was only an In-training digimon. That pushed him to train very hard, and he managed to digivolve into Agumon one day.
While already a Rookie, he still lacked experience compared to Betamon and DemiDevimon, so he decided to go for numerous battles in behalf of Chaos Specter rather than going for training. Chaos Specter then was attacking other alternate dimensions of the Digiworld in search for the Harmonious Ones, and often sent out various digimons to battle the digimons defending the dimensions.
From the battles, his experience and powers soon surpassed that of his teammates when one day, he digivolved into his Champion stage, Greymon. Chaos Specter was pleased with his achievements and granted him the place as the first Chaos General. After some time, his two teammates soon digivolved into Seadramon and Devidramon as well, and were granted the same powers by Chaos Specter. From then onwards, Chaos Specter trained them personally and sent them out to various important battle. Later, they became Ultimates - MetalGreymon, MegaSeadramon and SkullSatamon. About few months after that, a battle was engaged between the Chaos Generals and various digimons from an alternate dimension, and during that battle they all digivolved into Mega - WarGreymon, MetalSeadramon and Piedmon. It was then when Chaos Specter gave them the powers from his own, and turned them into ChaosWarGreymon, ChaosSeadramon and ChaosPiedmon. End Flashback
"Who is this Kari?" ChaosWarGreymon said out loud, still trying to search for any clue that might contain a link between him and Kari. All he remembered was her name, and her ruby eyes, which obviously weren't helping. This led him to frustration, and after seeing that he was alone hovering in the middle of an ocean, ChaosWarGreymon vent out his frustration by launching a Terra Force towards it, sending huge splashes of water in every direction. Some of the marine digimons residing within the oceans like Divermons and Dolphmons were sent flying by the astounding force of ChaosWarGreymon's attack.
"That's not the right way to vent out your anger!" a voice called out from behind of him. ChaosWarGreymon didn't even bother to look, as he knew quite well who the owner of the voice was. "Especially if you vent it towards the oceans." He glanced at ChaosSeadramon, who was hovering behind him, accompanied by ChaosPiedmon.
"Frustrated, are you?" ChaosPiedmon interjected with a sly grin plastered on his face. "Do you know that I so happen to have saved your back in front of the master just now by not telling him that you've gone soft for a GIRL?"
"That's ridiculous!" ChaosWarGreymon exclaimed. "I'm not going soft for that girl. It was because you've made a pact with the kids, and they had done their part." He was fuming with anger.
"So? Since when you've cared for that? As I remember, you were the merciless one while you were growing last time? So desperate to attract the master's attention, wanting so badly to digivolve to outdo the two of us, and all other stuffs which I KNOW that you remembered so well," ChaosPiedmon pointed out with a cold tone in his voice. "Why now? Why, of all this time, now would be the time for you to have a conscience?"
ChaosWarGreymon glared towards the clown digimon. "Mind your own business, ChaosPiedmon!" He immediately blasted away from the scene, leaving the other two Chaos Generals.
"That confirms it," ChaosPiedmon said coolly. "He did have a soft-spot for that girl. We can use this to our advantage."
"What do you have in mind?" ChaosSeadramon asked his accomplice.
"You'll see."
*************************
Meanwhile, back at Asuka City, the Digidestined spent the rest of the day speculating of what the Diginizers could do. Gennai recommended for their digimons to go for the trainings conducted at Leomon's gym, which was located inside Asuka Lab as well, but on the first floor. The Digidestined actually didn't realize that the lab had actually two floors as it looked like it only had one floor, minus the temple underground.
"What are the trainings are for?" Davis inquired. "Can I go too?"
"I'm afraid that the trainings are specifically designed for digimons only," Gennai answered with a smile. "Sorry about that, and as for the trainings, they are made to increase the level of a digimon's strength, speed, spirit, tolerance and intelligence. With enough training, the digimons could increase their experience level so that later they could easily digivolve into a higher level than Champion."
"Yeah, I remembered Gatomon telling me a while ago that the gym's trainings is pretty much the same with the trainings she had received from Myotismon when she was his henchman four years ago," Kari commented. All six digimons had already gone inside the gym, and were currently training with Leomon while the Digidestined took a tour around the laboratory. Gatomon, being already a Champion level digimon, already received enough training in all five basic aspects and her experience level was way higher than the others. Patamon came as second, although his experience was a lot less than Gatomon. He needed to be trained in strength and speed, but his intelligence, tolerance and spirit levels were good enough. Veemon was being trained in spirit and intelligence, Hawkmon in speed and spirit, Armadillomon in speed and intelligence while Wormmon in strength and tolerance. Gatomon helped Leomon out conducting the trainings for the digimons, as Ogremon had returned to File Island for a while.
"You mean she's been trained by that horrible vampire digimon? No wonder she's already a Champion!" Yolei exclaimed. "The trainings must have been really hard for her."
Kari nodded. "I agree. Do you know that she was beaten and whipped so many times while she was a Rookie, only because Myotismon didn't like her eyes? When she digivolved into Champion, Myotismon stopped beating her up, and trained her well to become his army's lieutenant. The Tail Ring she wore increased her power level slowly while training."
"Did Myotismon give her the Tail Ring?" Cody asked.
"No," Kari answered. "The Tail Ring came with her when she digivolved from Salamon. It was that Tail Ring that helped increase her power level and experience. That's why when she lost the ring, her powers were reduced to an almost the same level with a Rookie digimon."
Meanwhile, in Leomon's gym, all six digimons were having a great time sparring with Leomon. Their previous trainings, which challenges their strength, speed, spirit, tolerance and intelligence were tiring, according to the digimons. Sparring instead was fun. Leomon had given them a few tips on fighting skills, and they were currently practicing that on Leomon. Gatomon offered to help Leomon with the sparring.
"Bring it on!" she said, and braced herself. Hawkmon and Veemon were aiming for her.
"You're ready Gatomon?" Veemon said and ran towards her, aiming his head to hit her. "VEE HEAD BUTT!!" Gatomon evaded the attack easily and prepared herself to face Hawkmon.
"FEATHER STRIKE!!" Hawkmon sent out the feather from the back of his head towards Gatomon, whom had jumped out of feather's way easily.
"My turn," Gatomon grinned slyly and immobilized both digimons quickly with her Cat's Eye Hypnotism, but as she didn't assert enough energy on the attack, after a minute both Veemon and Hawkmon regained their mobility.
On the other side of the gym, Patamon, Wormmon and Armadillomon teamed up together to spar with Leomon.
"STICKY NET!!"
"DIAMOND SHELL!!"
Both Wormmon and Armadillomon's attacks hit Leomon, but the tall, Champion digimon didn't even sway.
"BOOM BUBBLE!!"
The attack hit Leomon directly on his face, and he staggered a bit, which caused Patamon to squeal in delight.
"Very good, all three of you," Leomon complemented, and glanced towards Gatomon, Hawkmon and Veemon. "You've all improved."
*************************
Meanwhile, outside Asuka Sector, Megadramon and Gigadramon were hovering in the sky while observing the sector. They were commanded by Chaos Specter to attack Asuka City and destroy it, and currently they were planning the best moves to attack the city. Below them were five Champion digimons they had brought to help. Two of the digimons were DarkTyrannomons, another two were Deltamons, and the remaining Champion was a Devidramon. All of them were standing just outside the Asuka Sector, awaiting the commands of the two Ultimate-level dragon digimons.
"So what's the plan?" Gigadramon asked his partner, Megadramon.
"I don't know really, but it should be a piece of cake. Since the Digidestined have lost their digivices, we don't have anything against us," Megadramon replied smugly. "We should be able to destroy the city within half-an-hour or less, with those digimons we've brought along."
"Let's go, then."
"Right." Megadramon and Gigadramon led their troop to enter Asuka Sector.
At Asuka Laboratory, the alarm was activated, alerting everyone from the underground temple, the laboratory, and the gym above. One of the larger viewing screens inside the laboratory showed the invasion of the evil digimons inside the sector.
"What are those digimons doing here?" Gennai wondered out loud. "They can't be allowed to reach the city!" Megadramon, Gigadramon and the five digimons they had brought with them were at the garden outside the city, and they began to head towards the city. Megadramon and Gigadramon had the advantages since both could fly.
Davis looked at his five friends, and their digimons. "Looks like it's time to test out the Diginizers. What do you say, guys?" All of them shouted their agreements, and headed outside the laboratory. They were followed by Gennai, Leomon, Piximon, MagnaAngemon PM, D'Archmon, Angemon and Piddomon, who all vowed to stop the evil digimons from invading Asuka City. MagnaAngemon PM stretched out both of his hands towards both sides, and they all found themselves suddenly enveloped in bright silvery lights. Their surroundings became all silver in color, and a fraction of a second later, they all were already outside Asuka City.
"Now is the time to utilize the power of the Diginizers, children. Good luck!" MagnaAngemon PM said and he took-off in mid-air to battle Megadramon and Gigadramon. His three disciples attempted to follow their master, but MagnaAngemon PM stopped them beforehand, and ordered them to stop the Deltamons, DarkTyrannomons and the Devidramon from invading and causing destruction on the city. Piximon instead followed MagnaAngemon PM to help him battle the two dragons.
[The theme "Brave Heart" played in the background]
Davis and the others saw that the symbols denoting the virtues on the Diginizers glowing. "DIGINIZER ENERGIZE!!"
"VEEMON DIGIVOLVE TO... EXVEEMON!!"
"WORMMON DIGIVOLVE TO... STINGMON!!"
"HAWKMON DIGIVOLVE TO... AQUILAMON!!"
"ARMADILLOMON DIGIVOLVE TO... ANKYLOMON!!"
"PATAMON DIGIVOLVE TO... ANGEMON!!"
The three disciples of MagnaAngemon PM, along with Leomon, Gatomon, and the five newly-digivolved Champion digimons charged towards the DarkTyrannomons, the Deltamons and the Devidramon. The three angels of Asuka Temple all joined forces to combat the Devidramon, who was evidently the strongest among the five. Leomon and Stingmon battled one of the Deltamons while Angemon and Gatomon took on the other. ExVeemon, Aquilamon and Ankylomon battled the two DarkTyrannomons together. On the sky, a battle took place between MagnaAngemon PM and Piximon with Megadramon and Gigadramon.
"HAND OF FATE!!"
"FIRE FEATHERS!!"
Angemon and Piddomon, the two male disciples of MagnaAngemon PM, combined their powers to attack Devidramon, who was targeting D'Archmon. However, the female angel was doing just fine, shielding herself from Devidramon's Crimson Claw attacks with her defensive technique called the Battlement Armor. She then flew above Devidramon and attacked with her staff.
Meanwhile, Leomon and Stingmon were having a pretty tough time trying to beat Deltamon. Angemon and Gatomon weren't having much luck as well. The two Deltamons overpowered the four of them in terms of strength.
"FIST OF THE BEAST KING!!"
"SPIKING STRIKE!!"
"LIGHTNING CLAW!!"
"HAND OF FATE!!"
The four good digimons then decided that if they couldn't win the fight by dividing themselves into two groups to fight the Deltamons, the only way out was to cripple the strength of the Deltamons by taking down one of them together before moving on towards the other one. Thus they delivered their best attacks on one of the Deltamon, who was hit point-blank and was deleted completely. The other Deltamon, on the other hand, was extremely pissed by the deletion of his partner.
"TRIPLEX FORCES!!" He growled loudly, sending out three beams of energy blasts from his three faces, hitting Leomon, Stingmon and Angemon directly, sending them flying away. The Deltamon then marched towards Gatomon, planning to finish off the kitty with one blow, when suddenly he was attacked from behind. Deltamon looked around angrily and saw Piddomon, one of the angels, was the one who had attacked him. Angemon and D'Archmon soon appeared before him as well, and Deltamon realized that Devidramon was deleted as well.
Seeing that he was then battling six Champion digimons, Deltamon knew that he would be defeated sooner or later, and decided to focus his attacks on the three angels since Leomon and the three destined digimons were still lying on the grounds. He summoned another Triplex Forces attack which was easily countered by Angemon by twirling his staff, Piddomon by firing his Fire Feathers, and by D'Archmon with her Battlement Armor. From Deltamon's behind, Leomon and the three destined digimons rose from the grounds.
"All together now, let's beat this Deltamon!" Leomon yelled loudly. "Attack the heads! FIST OF THE BEAST KING!!"
T.K.'s Angemon flew towards the Angemon of Asuka Temple. "DOUBLE HANDS OF FATE!!" They cried together and launched two Hand-of-Fate attacks which combined into one large and powerful fireball, heading towards Deltamon's main head in the middle. Combined with Leomon's Fist-of-the-Beast-King, the forces delivered were powerful to counter and the head disintegrated. Stingmon and Gatomon then attacked with their signature attacks, and joined by Piddomon and D'Archmon. Deltamon's remaining two heads on its hands emitted a loud scream before it exploded to thousands of data particles.
In the mean time, ExVeemon, Aquilamon and Ankylomon were pretty much successful themselves in battling the two DarkTyrannomons. One of the DarkTyrannomons was already deleted, and the three of them were advancing on the remaining DarkTyrannomon, who was frozen with fear. Seizing the chance, the three destined digimons attacked with full force.
"VEE LASER!!"
"TAIL HAMMER!!"
"BLAST RINGS!!"
DarkTyrannomon was deleted after being blasted with the three attacks. The digimons regrouped as they watched the battle occurring on the sky above Asuka sector. MagnaAngemon PM was battling Gigadramon, and Piximon fought Megadramon.
"It looks like they need our help!" Leomon exclaimed. "But it looks like I, Gatomon and Ankylomon are not able to do that since the three of us can't fly!"
"Leave it to us!" ExVeemon said and flew above the sky, followed by Stingmon, Aquilamon, Angemon and the three disciples.
MagnaAngemon PM was getting tired. While as an Ultimate-level angel digimon, he was supposed to be one of the toughest Ultimate digimon around but all those years guarding Asuka Temple made him lack of experience, compared to the Gigadramon, whom he noticed, was much more experienced. He wondered whether the Gigadramon and the Megadramon were the ones that worked under the Dark Master Machinedramon four years ago. He didn't have time to figure out the answer though, as Gigadramon launched his deadly Gigabyte Wing attack at him again, and MagnaAngemon PM was forced to evade the attack again.
"EXCALIBUR!!" MagnaAngemon PM transferred his energy towards his sword Excalibur. The sword shimmered and emitted sparks of electricity around it. He then slashed the sword in mid-air, and a V-shaped wave of brilliant white sparks of lightning was launched towards Gigadramon, whom had easily evaded the attack.
Piximon was in a worse condition than MagnaAngemon PM was, as Megadramon was far more powerful than him. He survived the fight so far by evading all of Megadramon's attacks, but he knew that he would not last long if he continued to battle in that state.
"DARK SIDE ATTACK!!"
"GIGABYTE WING!!"
The two attacks launched together by Megadramon and Gigadramon suddenly went past Piximon and MagnaAngemon PM, and the two of them were bewildered to see that the attack had missed when the two of them didn't even evade the attacks. They got the answers quickly enough when the two attacks hit six figures who were flying towards them, and caused an explosion. Soon after the explosion subsided, they saw the three disciples of MagnaAngemon PM and four of the Digidestined's digimons fell back to the grounds.
"What now?" MagnaAngemon PM thought to himself grimly as he braced himself for another battle with Gigadramon. Piximon, he saw, was blasted away by Megadramon towards the grounds as well.
On the grounds, Kari was thinking the same thing. She then looked at Gatomon, who was watching her fellow digimons fell from the sky.
"Gatomon... look," she said softly, but clear enough for Gatomon to hear. Gatomon turned her head towards her human partner, and gasped as she saw Kari's Diginizer of Light was glowing. The pink lights emitted from the Diginizer were blinding, and all Digidestined, Leomon and Ankylomon had to cover their eyes.
Kari felt a strange sensation from within her body. The pink lights were enveloping her body, and she felt stronger as every second passed. Suddenly she heard a heart-beat, which she was sure was not her own. The heart-beat she was hearing began to synchronize itself with her own, and Kari finally realized she was hearing Gatomon's heart-beat.
Gatomon felt the same way as well, realizing that she was hearing Kari's heart and her own beating together. She began to pick up Kari's thought.
'Gatomon, what's going on?'
'I don't know, Kari. This is very strange.'
'It's the Diginizer of Light.'
An image of the symbol depicting the virtue of Light appeared all of a sudden in front of them, and both Kari and Gatomon were lifted on air by an unseen force.
