VENGEANCE

- Chapter 14 - Revelations -

by

Alforce Zero

The town of Harmona, located at the southern west quadrant of the East sector was known to many as the residing place of peaceful digimons. It was the only town built at the south quadrant of the East sector. While the size of the town was nowhere equal if compared to Asuka City on the central quadrant of the sector, or the Seiryuu City on the Seiryuu Archipelago of the eastern quadrant, Harmona had its own unique traits which made it a pleasant place of its own.

Consisted mainly of lush forests, greenlands and an acre-wide town square, Harmona was a beautiful place indeed. The air there was fresh and the climate was cool and comfortable due to the soft zephyr blowing every now and then. The building structures of the town resembled Asuka City, but had a lot less number of buildings. From the mountain regions came Harmona's beautiful waterfalls which led to the rivers surrounding the town, and the rivers then led towards the sea. The fact that it was located near the beach, and expanded until the mountainous area of the quadrant, made Harmona an ideal resting stop for any marine, air or land digimons to take a break from their long journey. Yes, Harmona was a large town, not a highly developed place but a pleasant one nonetheless.

Most digimons residing at Harmona were Rookies and Champions, and a little number of them were Armor digimons as well. They were known to be hospitable, good-natured and kind regardless of their attributes. Vaccine, Virus and Data type digimons lived together in harmony, hence the town name Harmona, under the leadership of three peace-loving Ultimate digimons. Each digimon represented its own attribute, and interestingly enough the three of them were of the same type. Monzaemon, WaruMonzaemon and Pandamon were all Puppet types, and under their leadership Harmona had managed to stay in peace even during the dark era of Myotismon, the Dark Masters and the Digimon Emperor. And speaking of the Dark Masters, the WaruMonzaemon of Harmona was a LOT different from that of Machinedramon's bumbling henchmon. Together, the three of them were known as the elders of Harmona, being the first digimons to reside inside Harmona.

However, the peacefulness of Harmona was disrupted after the arrival of Chaos Piedmon and his army of evil digimons. Under the order of Chaos Specter, Chaos Piedmon and his army of evil digimons invaded Harmona in order to conquer it. The Harmona elders were wise enough to surrender peacefully in order to prevent the Harmona digimons from being deleted mercilessly by their stronger foes. Without much effort, Chaos Piedmon was successful in taking over Harmona for his master.


Over the past one week, Davis had been trying to enjoy his holidays but could not find the right way to do it. He was bored of playing the video games and most of his soccer friends were not even in Odaiba. They had either gone for a holiday with their parents, or were visiting their relatives. Even his fellow Digidestined friends seemed to be able to find something to do.

Kari, along with her parents and brother, and Gatomon too, had all went up north to Hokkaido for a vacation four days before, or three days after the defeat of NeoDevimon.

Ken had taken up a part-time summer job tutoring the neighbouring kids upon requests of their parents. It was a volunteer job, although at first the parents had insisted that they wanted to pay Ken but he politely refuse to take the money, saying that he was very glad to be able to help the kids. Amongst of his 'students' were the former Dark Spore-infected Digidestined.

'He really suits to be the bearer of Kindness,' Davis thought to himself with a slight smile, and could not help himself to feel proud of his former DNA Digivolving partner.

As for Yolei, aside from preparing herself to start Junior High by asking advices from her predecessors Mimi and Sora, spent most of her free time helping the family managing the grocery store.

'Poor Yolei,' Davis thought, smirking to himself. 'Maybe I should just go over there for a few good rows of words.'

Three days earlier, Cody had spotted a poster saying that a Kendo tournamentship was about to be held at Odaiba in another two weeks time. The new bearer of Knowledge was practically excited after seeing the poster, and was wondering whether he was good enough to enter. The other Digidestined had encouraged him to enter, and his grandfather agreed to train him harder for the tournament. The only setback was that the boy was worried that he was needed at the Digital World. Davis and the others assured him that should anything happen at the Digital World, they would be able to handle it and that they would call on him only whenever he was greatly needed. Even Armadillomon gave Cody his full support, and thus, Cody began to train harder.

'He's already skillful enough though,' Davis mused with himself.

And as for T.K., Davis had never seen him to be so happy. Sure, the boy was cheerful whenever Davis met him, but after the destruction of NeoDevimon, Davis could see that T.K. truly was happy. It was as if something that was haunting him for a long time had finally left him for good. Strangely enough, as far as Davis knew T.K. too was pretty much bored of not having much to do. Furthermore, his mother was working and Matt too was busy practicing with the Teenage Wolves for their upcoming concert which would take place on early autumn. He had asked Davis to join him for a game of basketball from time to time, but as Davis preferred soccer he declined the offer everytime the blonde boy asked him. However, with Ken busy tutoring the kids, Cody with the tournament, Yolei with the grocery store and Kari on vacation, to the surprise of the both of them, they started to hang out together, and became good friends over the course of three days. T.K. seemed to be forever-so-happy to tell Davis of his early adventures and how he had been a crybaby when he was young. Davis also learnt of the reason why he was so close with Kari.

--- Flashback ---

"After Tai, Matt, Joe, Izzy, and their digimons save for Gomamon were turned to keychains by Piedmon, only I, Kari and Sora, and our digimons were left to battle the Dark Master. We ran deep into the caste and hid beneath a wooden platform, hoping that Piedmon wouldn't find us there. Unfortunately he managed to discover us, and Angewomon and Garudamon had to distract him while the three of us, Patamon and Gomamon made a run for our lives. Sora told me then that no matter what happened I must made sure that Kari was safe from Piedmon. It was a hard task for me and I was not confident, but seeing how Gomamon and Sora had risked their lives to retrieve Matt's keychain for me made me determined to save Kari and to find a way to defeat Piedmon. At the balcony of the fortress, we found a basket of ropes which was there for no reason, if I remember correctly, but as there were no other way we had to use the ropes to climb down the fortress. However, the rope had magically raised itself towards the dark sky and Patamon told us to climb it. But then Piedmon arrived and cut the rope, sending us towards the abyss below after he had defeated Angemon. It was then that my Crest of Hope finally lit up, and digivolved Angemon into MagnaAngemon. MagnaAngemon saved us and changed the keychains back to their former selves..."

"Woah, woah, T.S.! Slow down you're talking way too fast and I couldn't see the reason why you're telling me this for the THIRD time this few days?" Davis groaned as he watched Patamon and Veemon playing together at the field. He was sitting under a large, shady tree and T.K. was leaning in front of him. Both of them were seeking refuge against the sun rays under the canopy of the tree.

T.K., who was leaning against the tree, just shrugged with a sheepish smile on his face. "Third time? I've told you this before?"

'And I thought I'm the absent-minded one,' Davis thought incredulously. "Yes, T.P. You've told me this yesterday, and the day before yesterday."

"Heh.. sorry about that Davis," T.K. said, grinning. "What was it that you wanted to know again?"

"I swear, after you Trans-Digivolved with Patamon that day, you seemed to be way OUT of it!" Davis said good-naturedly before frowning slightly. "I was asking..."

"On how I got to be closer to Kari right?" T.K. cut him back with a smile. "I got to know her during the time when Machinedramon separated me, Kari and Sora from Tai and Izzy. Kari was very sick that time, and I was worried for her too. We got to know each other then, but we never really talked much, and pretty much lost contact after returning back here. Over the course of the years before I moved here to Odaiba, sometimes I've thought of her, and apparently she'd thought about m---"

"Do not!" Davis interrupted suddenly, his tone was slightly shrill.

T.K. grinned. "Do to," he said teasingly.

"Kari was so not thinking about you that time, because it was then I met her," Davis retorted. "We met right here, at the swings over there..." Davis pointed towards the swings which was at the farthest end of the park. "I was playing football on my own, and there she was sitting at the swings watching me. When I looked at her, she asked me whether I could push the swings for her, as her big brother couldn't accompany her that day. And that, T.C., was the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

"Well, I still met her first," T.K. pointed out triumphantly, and grinned.

"Oh whatever," Davis snorted, and rolled his eyes. The two young teens then laughed of their exchanged remarks.

"Anyway Davis, for what's worth, the two of us are really just good friends. So, you don't have anything to worry about," T.K. added as an afterthought assuringly.

Davis's eyes narrowed sceptically. "You mean, you're not going out together?"

T.K. chuckled slightly. "Not that I know of. I really like Kari, but not romantically. Both of us are too young for that anyway. And both of us agreed that we're better off as friends. She even said that I reminded her of Tai in some ways."

"Oh..."

"Anyway, I'll tell you this one thing. She's very impressed of you though, the only one who wasn't affected by MaloMyotismon's illusions. If it weren't for you, who knows what would happen to all of us," T.K. said.

Hearing that comment, Davis's face lit up and he smiled broadly.

--- End Flashback ---

Davis smiled after recollecting the conversation he had with T.K. two days before, at the park of Odaiba. The conversation was enlightening, and he was glad for that as it made him and T.K. understand each other a lot better. They talked about stuffs ranging from sports, studies, future ambitions, and it didn't take them long to become good friends as well. Sure, they were friends before, but they rarely talk about anything else other than digimons and Digidestined matters. Davis had long accepted the fact that T.K. and Kari were close, but having that conversation made him no longer jealous of the Digidestined of Hope. The snappish comments and him calling T.K. all sorts of other names were just some of his old habits that won't go away that easily. Davis made a point to try call T.K. his right name should they meet again.

"Hey Veemon!" he called over to Veemon, who was watching the television intently.

The blue little dragon glanced towards his partner. "Yeah?"

"Care for a visit to the Digital World?"

"Hey, that's not a bad idea!" Veemon squealed in delight. "Now?"

"Hold on for a sec, I'm gonna ask T.K. whether he and Patamon want to go with us. T.K.'s the only Digidestined who has the same amount of free time as me," Davis said and took his D-Terminal to convey the message to T.K.

"Hey T.K., wanna join me and Veemon on a trip to the Digital World? - Davis"

"Now to go and get ready," Davis said and went back into his bedroom. He took out a piece of paper and wrote a message to his parents or June, saying that he would be at the Digital World. The Motomiyas all knew about the Digital World since Veemon was living with them. He selected a plain light blue T-shirt and a matching dark blue vest and a dark brown pair of shorts. Just as he finished changing, his D-Terminal beeped indicating that a message had been received.

"Sure, we'll meet you guys at the park in fifteen minutes. - T.K."

"Great! That'll give us enough time to eat something on the way," Veemon said happily.

"You think of nothing except your stomach, Veemon," Davis teased.

They each grabbed a sandwich at a nearby kiosk while on the way towards the park. When they reached the park, T.K. and Patamon were already there. T.K. was wearing a black tank-top under a white unbuttoned shirt, and a pair of light brown kargo shorts which reached his knees, and a beige hat. Patamon, as usual, was sitting comfortably on top of his head.

"All set?" T.K. asked, noting that Davis and Veemon were eating. He chuckled lightly.

"Yeah!" Davis said.

"Well," T.K. said, and raised his Diginizer. "Digi-Port, open!"


The golden oval-shaped interdimensional gateway between their world and the Digital World materialized instantly in front of the four of them, its soft gold lights was beckoning them to enter it. After Davis, who was the last to enter, went into the gate, the gateway closed itself automatically.

Somewhere along the path between the central and the southern quadrants of the East sector was a vast tract of grasslands called the Wind Prairie. It was located about ten miles from Harmona Town, and the view there was breathtaking. Wind Prairie was covered by lush green grass, and there were no trees growing except for a few cactus trees growing at random locations. Once in a while, soft comfortable breeze could be felt by anyone who was there.

A small, colorful polygonal dinosaur digimon was walking alone on the grasslands. He was a ToyAgumon, a Rookie digimon of Vaccine type. In a way he resembled Agumon, but his body structures were totally inorganic. The digimon was panting heavily while walking, and once in a while he would take a glance towards the back as if he was being chased by someone.

"I must go to Asuka City," the digimon muttered between the short breaths he was taking. "I must get help! But I'm so tired right now... maybe I should take a short rest for a while."

ToyAgumon went up towards a large blackened stone and sat there, leaning himself against the stone. Behind the large stone was a small water-hole, and ToyAgumon took the opportunity to quench his thirst.

"I hope they have stopped chasing me," he said to himself as he took a sip of water from his squarish claws. "But it's a long way ahead to Asuka City. It'll take days for me to reach there, who knows what'll happen until then." He looked sadly at his reflection, which was staring back at him from the water-hole. "Okay ToyAgumon, be brave now. The fate of Harmona depends on you," he said to assure himself of his worries.

Unbeknownst to him however, while he was resting two pair of eyes were watching him from afar, watching his every moves intently.


Davis and T.K., along with their partners walked out of the golden interdimensional gateway which connected their world with the Digital World, and found themselves standing in front of Asuka Laboratory. The Knightmons who were guarding the entrance bowed slightly towards them in respect, and allowed them to enter. As if detecting their presence, Gennai and Piximon walked out of the laboratory. However they seemed to be mildly surprised when they saw the two Digidestined and the digimons.

"Digidestined, what brings you here?" Gennai asked, his blue eyes gazing into Davis and T.K.'s eyes.

"Nothing much really, Gennai. We were wondering whether it'll be allright if the four of us spend our free time today here?" Davis asked.

Gennai nodded. "Why of course. Digidestined are free to come and go as they please. However now that you're here we need you to check up a few things for us?"

Both Davis and T.K. instantly looked interested.

"You mean, something is wrong?" T.K. asked.

"I'm not certain," Gennai replied. "Nothing much had happened around here since you deleted NeoDevimon. However we are suspecting that something strange might be happening with some of the smaller towns around this sector."

"Smaller towns?" Veemon asked. "There are more towns around here other than Asuka and Seiryuu?"

"Of course, Veemon," Piximon replied. "The East sector itself is an extremely large sector. So far, your adventures actually took place only within the central and the western quadrant. Neither of you have ventured outside these two quadrants."

"Think of it like your country, Japan," Gennai suggested helpfully. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but except for the times when the digimons invaded your world neither of you had the opportunity to go to other countries of your world. The same concept applies here in the Digital World. The East sector is divided mainly into five quadrants; the north, south, east, west and central quadrants. Asuka City is in the central quadrant, while the Seiryuu Archipelago and the File Island are located within the eastern quadrant, which includes the oceans. The places you have been before are all located within the two quadrants Piximon mentioned earlier."

Davis and T.K. nodded, and Gennai continued to explain.

"T.K., your first adventures at the Digital World mainly took place inside the eastern quadrant. Myotismon's castle was located in the deserts somewhere near the north-west region, and Piedmon's fortress was at the center of the quadrant. When you came back last year, all of you were taken back to the eastern quadrant again where Ken had placed the control spires to block the power of digivolution. The whole of the eastern quadrant were placed under his control, but even during those times we had taken safety precautions to avoid him from invading the other quadrants. However, with his efforts thwarted by the Digidestined, he never got the opportunity to move farther."

"Woah, wait a minute," Davis interrupted. "Last time Izzy had shown us a map of the Digital World, and the places where Ken had placed his control spires. It seemed like the whole Digital World was under his control."

Gennai nodded knowingly. "The eastern quadrant is a massive piece of land mostly surrounded by seas and ocean, though it is still part of the Server continent. To understand this better, think of your country Japan as the easttern quadrant and you'll get the idea. Now, imagine that there is a small part of land connecting Japan and Siberia. That is how the eastern quadrant connected with the other quadrants."

"Got it," Davis and T.K. said together simultaneously.

"Back to our problem earlier, what I meant was that were unable to establish any connection with the other towns of the southern and northern quadrants. We've managed to form a connection with Seiryuu city, and the towns and villages of the western quadrant. The southern quadrant only has one small town called Harmona, but we couldn't form a connection between the lab and Harmona. The same goes for the three main towns at the northern quadrant."

"Just now, the three angel disciples of MagnaAngemon had gone to the northern quadrant via the teleporter to inspect the problem," Piximon continued. "Now that the two of you are here, why don't you look up the southern quadrant to check out Harmona Town?"

"Sure!" Davis said instantly.

"We'd love to see the other parts of the sector," T.K. said.

"Thank you, the four of you," Piximon said gratefully.

"However, we're not sure of the problem yet. There may not be any problem at all, but we'd rather check than make any assumptions," Gennai said. "So if you have the time, it may be better if you fly there with your digimons rather than teleporting. That way, you can see whether there's any problem along the way."

"We understand," T.K. said. "Ready, Patamon?"

"Yeah!" Patamon, who was sitting on T.K.'s head as usual, chirped exuberantly.

"How about you, buddy?" Davis asked.

"Whenever you are, Davis!"

"Okay," Davis said. Both he and T.K. then pointed their Diginizers upwards and cried...

"Diginizer Energize!!" Waves of blue and green energy beams showered Veemon and Patamon, energizing them to digivolve.

"Veemon Digivolve to... ExVeemon!"

"Patamon Armor Digivolve to... Pegasusmon! Flying Hope!"

Davis and T.K. boarded their respective digimons and departed towards the southern quadrant.


After resting for more than one hour, ToyAgumon decided to continue his journey towards Asuka City with full determination, despite his size and power. He didn't want to waste any precious time, knowing that to free Harmona Town from the clutches of Chaos Piedmon he needed the help of the digimons of Asuka City. He had heard of some of the famed digimons were residing there - Leomon, MagnaAngemon PM and his three angel disciples and the great digimon trainer Piximon. What more, the most recent news about the Digidestined getting the new power of the Diginizers gave ToyAgumon more the reason to reach Asuka City as fast as he could.

Deep in his heart, ToyAgumon thought about the digimons of Harmona. He was disappointed when Harmona easily fell into Chaos Piedmon's hand as none of the digimons there were willing to fight. The three elders were powerful, but Chaos Piedmon's power far exceeded a normal Mega digimon. Their decision was wise, but then they had to pay for the price. For almost two weeks since Harmona was taken over, the digimons there had been constantly bullied by Chaos Piedmon and his fellow digimons. The three elders were imprisoned inside a prison made of force-field which they couldn't escape through, while the other digimons of Harmona were enslaved and bullied.

The Wind Prairie was a big mass of grasslands, and it would take ToyAgumon more than a day just to cross through the grassland. ToyAgumon saw a thick jungle from a far, and contemplated that he would reach the jungle by dusk.

"It's the best I could do," ToyAgumon said.

Suddenly, a loud exploding sound was heard from somewhere near ToyAgumon's back. The Rookie digimon turned around and was shocked to see a large stone exploded into smitherins right in front of his eyes. Not far from him, two Tankmons, one green and the other one blue, were approaching him. One had apparently fired a missile towards him, and while it missed him it was a close call as the Tankmon had meant for the missile to be blasted towards the stone near where ToyAgumon was standing.

"Going somewhere, little toy?!" the blue Tankmon asked smugly. "Chaos Piedmon will be so glad to have a word with you after the two of us deliver you to him."

ToyAgumon gasped, and quickly turned round to start running towards the forest. Seeing that he won't be able to make it as the forests were still too far, his eyes began to water. He wasn't able to get help, and had let his fellow friends down.

"Help!" he cried in vain, still running for his dear life. "Help! Help!"

"It's no use running, ToyAgumon!" the green Tankmon bellowed. "You'll just making it harder!"

ToyAgumon ignored the Tankmons and continued running, scared out of his minds. Unfortunately, his feet was caught at a small rock and he stumbled on the grounds. Unable to move, he cowered as the looming shadows of the Tankmons approached him.

"Help! Help!"


Pegasusmon and ExVeemon had been flying towards the southern quadrant for more than an hour while carrying their partners and enjoying the surroundings. Even they hadn't had the chance to travel much, as their previous adventures were held elsewhere. Admiring the beauty of the scenery and the winds that were blowing against them, the four of them were glad that they came to the Digital World.

"Don't you forget though, we're on a mission," Davis said seriously.

"Sure we don't, Davis," ExVeemon replied back and glanced towards his back where Davis was sitting. "No idea where we are, though."

T.K. scanned the scenery downstairs intently, which mostly consisted of forests and small hills. What fascinated him was that the trees bore many unusual colors instead of the usual boring green. For the past one hour, they had crossed mountains, valleys, rivers and some small digimon villages and colonies which seemed to be undisturbed. Both Pegasusmon and ExVeemon were flying at an adequately-fast speed.

"Everything seems okay so far," T.K. said. "No signs of anything out of ordinary." They were now crossing over a region of deep forests.

Pegasusmon chuckled a little. "That's good news. Hey, heads up everyone. Look in front of you!"

Everyone followed Pegasusmon's gaze and saw that right after the forest, they would come across a vast greenlands. The scenery was breathtaking, and the four of them could make out the movements of three figures, two of them larger than the other one. However, as they approached the greenlands they saw that a small digimon which vaguely looked like a colorful version of Agumon being attacked by two Tankmons.

"We've got to save that little digimon!" T.K. said worriedly as they saw the colorful Agumon stumbled onto the grounds and could no longer move. "The two Tankmons are going to kill him if we don't do something. Pegasusmon, stop them!"

"Right! Star Shower!!" Pegasusmon cried, and sent rains of stars from the skies towards the Tankmons. The sudden attack surprised the Tankmons more than actually injuring them, but they had stopped attacking the Rookie digimon to see who was attacking them.


ToyAgumon was more than relieved when he realized that he was going to be saved by someone. Someone had actually heard his pleas of help. The Tankmons cursed angrily for the sudden attack, but they had stopped approaching him and ToyAgumon quickly got up and looked towards the sky, when he saw a fairly large, biped humanoid blue dragon digimon and an armored pegasus digimon landed near him. Both digimons seemed to be carrying humans.

"He looked almost like..." ToyAgumon thought out loud in amazement, before he was interrupted by the angry shouts of the Tankmons.

"Hey! Just what do you think you're doing?!" the green Tankmon bellowed angrily.

"How dare you attack us! Just who do you think you are?!" the blue Tankmon shouted.

"Well, I'm called ExVeemon, and I'm here to stop you from hurting that little guy," the blue dragon digimon introduced himself. The human, who was perched on his back, slided down easily onto the grounds.

"Yeah, go get 'em, ExVeemon!" he cried.

"Stand back Davis, this might get dangerous," ExVeemon said warningly.

"Need any help, ExVeemon?" the pegasus digimon asked.

"Nah, Pegasusmon, I can handle these two bullies. You save that poor Rookie digimon," ExVeemon replied confidently.

"Suit yourself," Pegasusmon replied as the human who was riding him got down. Both boys and Pegasusmon then approached ToyAgumon.

"Well, I haven't seen this kind of digimon around," the blonde-haired boy with a hat said.

"He looks like a Lego version of Agumon," the brown-haired boy with a pair of goggles on his head added. "I wonder what he's called."

"I'm ToyAgumon," ToyAgumon said shyly. "Thank you for saving me."

"Well hi, ToyAgumon," the blonde said. "We're the Digidestined. I'm T.K. and he's Davis."

"You're safe now, ToyAgumon," the boy whose name was Davis, told him. "My partner, ExVeemon, will teach them a lesson they'll never forget."

The two Tankmons readied their positions to attack ExVeemon together with one blow. The green Tankmon raised it's cannon-like snout while the blue Tankmon aimed its arms, which were equipped with machine-guns. They were determined to finish up ExVeemon once and for all, but little did they know that ExVeemon was an extremely tough opponent to fight with, as his strength was beyond the normal level of a Champion digimon.

"Hyper Cannon!!"

"Machine-Gun Arms!!"

Two huge blasts were fired towards ExVeemon, who instantly puffed his chest forward and summoned, "Vee Laser!!"

The three attacks caused a huge explosion as they cancelled each other, sending out smokes around them. The Tankmons then charged forward to ram ExVeemon when he was least expecting them, as they were sure that ExVeemon couldn't see quite well with his vision blinded by the smoke. However, what happened next was totally the other way round; it was the Tankmons who were caught unexpectedly as ExVeemon successfully grabbed their cannon-like snouts. Undaunted,the Tankmons pushed themselves forward with all their might, and ExVeemon stopped them by pushing them back. These went on for almost five minutes before ExVeemon lost his patience.

"These silly bucket of bolts! They just don't know.. when to quit!! Arrggghhhh!!" ExVeemon roared, and with his mighty strength he lifted both Tankmons from the grounds. The Tankmons struggled hard to break free from ExVeemon's grasps but their efforts were in vain, as ExVeemon's grip was strong. ExVeemon saw a large stone near a water-hole (the place where ToyAgumon was resting earlier), and threw the blue Tankmon towards the stone first. The blue Tankmon crashed onto the stone but his thick armor had protected him from getting injured. However, his armor had suffered major dents and he wasn't able to move. ExVeemon then proceeded by throwing the green Tankmon towards the stone, and it crashed onto the blue Tankmon. The two Tankmons were knocked out unconscious and the water from the water-hole caused their programmes to malfunction.

"That takes care of them," ExVeemon said with satisfaction, and he approached his friends and ToyAgumon.

"My goodness, he's really powerful!" ToyAgumon gasped in total admiration. "Is he an Ultimate digimon?"

"Nope, he's only a Champion," Davis answered proudly. "But he surely packs quite a punch, right ExVeemon?"

"Heh heh, right! You bet I am!" ExVeemon declared. He looked at ToyAgumon. "Hi there. I'm ExVeemon!"

"I..I'm ToyAgumon," ToyAgumon replied.

"How are you feeling?" ExVeemon asked.

"I'm alright, thanks to you."

"Now, what were you doing out here all alone?" T.K. asked.

"I'm on my way to Asuka City to meet the digimons there. I need their help."

"We're from Asuka City. Why would you need our help?" Davis inquired.

"Harmona Town, the town where I live, was attacked by Chaos Piedmon two weeks ago. Our elders were imprisoned and the rest of us were enslaved. I've managed to escape four days ago," ToyAgumon said.

"Tell you what? Why don't we just teleport there instead of you walking all the way there?" T.K. suggested.

"Could we? Really?"

"You bet," Davis said. "Hold on tight to any one of us."


"Subject is ready to begin experimentation. Health status is one hundred percent."

"Give me the data of the subject."

"Acknowledged. Subject is DemiDevimon, a Rookie level Virus type digimon. Attacks are Demi Dart and Evil Whisper."

"Administer the blood and the digital DNA sample into the subject."

"Acknowledged. Delivering now... command successful. Blood and digital DNA sample have been administered into the subject."

"Good. Begin incubating period now."

"Acknowledged. Beginning procedure of incubation of the subject. Procedure completed, subject is now being incubated."

Chaos Specter nodded with satisfaction as the computer screen showed him a large tube-like chamber, its size about the same size of the tube chambers which displayed the trapped Harmonious Ones. Inside the tube was an unconscious DemiDevimon, and the tube was filled with strange green liquid. Strange properties shaped like DNA double helix were swirling around the Rookie, and the green liquid began to emit soft green lights after Chaos-AI announced that the incubation period had been initiated .

"Now all I need is the Zeed Crystal," Chaos Specter said grimly. "Chaos WarGreymon should have been back by now, it is almost two weeks since I last saw him."

"What do you plan to do?" Catrina the BlackGatomon, who was sitting on the armrest of the throne, asked. "Are you going to mutate that DemiDevimon into some unknown digimon?"

"Sort of," Chaos Specter replied and stroke Catrina's black fur slowly. "But not to an unknown digimon, I assure you."

The four Harmonious Ones digimons, Azulongmon, Baihumon, Ebonwumon and Zhuqiaomon, were trapped inside a lost dimension. The location of the lost dimension was known only to Chaos Specter. Inside the lost dimension, the four guardian digimons were separated from each other, yet each of them still was able to communicate with each other telepathically. The special tubes's function was only to display their every action. The tubes were the Harmonious Ones' only link with the Digital World. All four of them were actually still in the dark of Chaos Specter's true motive of capturing them. All they knew was that without the four of them to intervene, Chaos Specter's goal to dominate the Digital World would be a lot easier. One other thing they did know was that Chaos Specter was determined to have the power to control time. Over the course of nearing three weeks after their capture, the four guardians communicate with each other telepathically in order not to let anyone else overhear their conversation.

"How in the blazes is that ragged filth of a human is going to have the power to manipulate time from us?!" Zhuqiaomon said furiously. "I myself do not have a single clue of how he is going to extract that power from us."

Azulongmon nodded in agreement. "True. But according to him, the power of time can only be unleashed by the four guardian digimons, namely us. I overheard it during one night when that Chaos Specter is reciting the prophecy of time over and over again to himself."

"So you do know now of the contents of the prophecy?" Baihumon asked.

"Yes."

"Well let us hear it then," one of Ebonwumon's head said. The second one then added, "At least that will give us a clue of what Chaos Specter really wants with us being captured. He keeps saying about wanting to get the power of time though, and I wonder..."

"Quiet!" Zhuqiaomon roared. "Let Azulongmon speak."

Azulongmon was silent for a while, trying to recall what he'd heard from Chaos Specter's own mouth. All of his four eyes were closed as he concentrated hard to remember every lines of the prophecy. Finally, he opened his eyes and recited the prophecy.

The creation of darkness and time,

The fusion of machine and mutant,

The power to transcend time,

Despite countless downfalls,

It shall always return,

Unbeatable and undaunted,

It will always prevail,

One weakness it does possess,

Is within its greatest enemy,

One with the same power,

One of the opposite side,

When four greatest join as one,

Come forth the savior of time!
