Spy Guy: Ok. I know that it's been a while, but...ahd to get it right. You know...me being a nit picker and all. There's still two chapters left. The next one will be up today, so...yeah.
I know that I want to use Danielle in the sequal, but I'm not sure if her partner should be Gaomon or Dobermon. With Dobermon, we can have an interetsing little plot arc about Danny's distrust of Danielle's partner. While with Gaomon...I'll think of somthing. I need some in ptu here.
Review...
Leo the white ranger, you're pen name sounds spiffy. I don't know why, but there's something about it. Thanks for the review. And why the cliff hanger? Because if I dind't then the story would go on ana on ana on, and stuff. Cliff hangers make up for stuff...yeah...
Ghostboy814, yay! Good chapters!
S2Teennovelist, Nope! I'm still here! Jazz's key was easy to figure out. Reality trip was awsome. I can;t wait for urban jungle! I heard this rumor that it was like, October 7th or something like that. If it is, they'll most likely show a commercial during the Avatar movie, and I think that I can live through that for Danny. I'll explain the whole spirit evolution thing in this chapter. There's a little section where Beowulfmon is thinking. Glad you like how the seasons are tied together. And they siad it couldn't be done. In some ways Ophanimon would have been easier, but...Dragon's are cool. Danny doesn't get saved in this chapter, but the next, wich shold be up right after this one. I tried to have both Tucker and Sam biomerge, but Warriorreppamon stills needs some fine tuning. Like wether to refer to it as a girl or a guy...hmmmm...contrversial topic here. it? I don't know. And thanks for the outfit ideas. Like it! I promise to credit you when I use them, but I will. Promise. And you helped me figure out the symbol for Danny's key. Thanks. but it's in the next shapter. I'll credit you. yay!
Horseluvr4evr, I think I spelled that wrong. Yes. There's a sequal. this is my escape from the depression of freedom's curse.
Cold-heart-angel-23, I liked that you were reviewing for the others, just wanted to make sure we were on the same page. I've had some pretty weird annonymous reviews. I kept one of them. It's for you promised me you'd stay for the sunset. Really, it makes no sense!
passing4inane, I like that song too. NEw person!
This line thing is annoying! AUUUGGGGHHH!#$$&#E$$&$#
Danny floated above the valley, smiling at what lay below him. The entire area was covered in black ice. Various frozen digimon could be seen.
"Are you happy now?" Blackgabumon asked. "Are you proud of what you've done?"
"More…" Danny whispered. "I need more…" Then he whipped around and saw an approaching group. His smiled grew.
"Dark ice!" The wolf snarled. The blast flew forward and hit the ground…
Insert Line here
"Now Guardromon!" Tucker shouted.
"Guardromon digivolve to…Andromon!"
The tall digimon leapt off the ground, and growled.
"I'm uploading the lightning blaster…now!" The boy cried.
A large gun appeared on Andromon's wrist. He smiled, and charged it up.
"Lightning fire!" He shouted. The attack hit Shadometalgarurumon X right in the chest.
"Right on!" Stingmon shouted.
"Watch out!" Pegasusmon cried.
"Dark ice!" Danny screamed. The blast flew out, straight at Tucker. Guilmon acted in a moment. His eyes spotted his friend in trouble, and his legs tensed, sending him into the air…
And right in the path of the attack.
"Guilmon!" Tucker shouted, as the red dinosaur hit the ground…frozen. The boy stood there for a moment, looking at it…but then something burned inside of him.
"I understand that you're my friend Danny!" He shouted. "But I also understand that you can't control what you're doing…so I'm going to stop you!"
Red flames engulfed the boy, spreading to Andromon in the process. In a second, Tucker was floating in a void, in an outfit that looked like it was straight from Tron. Hagurumon was floating toward him. Next thing he knew, it was like they were the same. The fire cleared, and a tall black android was left in their place.
"Hiandromon!" He shouted. The digimon ran at Danny, and fired a blast from the cannon on his wrist. The wolf used as shield and deflected it back. He then laughed insanely.
"Oooh…the little robot thinks that he can beat me. Poor little robot thinking such an impossible thing can come true! Dark ice!"
The blast flew out, and Hiandromon stood his ground.
"Digital shield!" He cried, taking out a large metal slat. The blast hit it, pushing the robot back a few feet. Instead of dissipating, the attack continued to push forward. Tucker concentrated on keeping it up.
"Someone attack him!" The robot groaned. Stingmon nodded, and took off into the air.
"Spiking strike!" He shouted. The spike on his wrist glowed pink as he flew toward Danny. The attack caught the digimon by surprise, and it dug through his armor into his side. The wolf gave a howl of agony and took Stingmon by his wrist, flinging him into the ground, and causing the bug digimon to dedigivolve to Wormon.
"Dark ice!" Danny shouted. In an instant, the worm was frozen…
"You monster!" Highandromon snarled, as he strained to keep the blast back. Danny turned his attention to him, and smiled dementedly. The wolf's hands glowed green, and he readied to fire a barrage of ectoblasts at the robot. Tucker cried out as the shield broke, and a blast hit him in the chest, knocking him backwards. Digmon growled, and ran in front of the fallen digimon.
"Gold rush!" He shouted. The ground split apart, sending rocks into the air. One hit Danny, causing further damage to his armor. He landed, clutching his side. There was a flash of light as Hiandromon dedigivolved into Tucker and Hagurumon. Digmon stood before them, his drills pointed outward, ready to attack. The wolf snarled, and fired a ball of ice at the bug. He didn't have time to react, and was frozen…Hagurumon as well…
Tucker groaned as he tried to get up. He felt something cold next to him, and saw that it was his partner.
"No…" He whispered. There was a flash, and Pegasusmon glowed with a yellow light. Left in the horse's place, was a tall helmeted angel.
"Don't worry Tucker." He said. "I'll stop him."
Angemon flew forward and faced Danny, who just laughed.
"Hand of fate!" He shouted. His fist began to glow, and he hurled himself at the wolf, who just phased through it. Danny charged an ectoblast in his hands, and fired at the angel. It hit him in the chest, causing him to fall to the ground. Angemon groaned, but forced himself to get up.
"So you're Lord Angemon." The wolf sneered, landing on the ground as well. "The world's most powerful champion? But that is still all you are…a champion. How can a digimon like you even hope to stand up to a mega?"
"That's just it…" The angel growled. "Hope…"
A great golden flash lit up the whole area. Shadowmetalgarurumon X shielded his eyes from the light.
"What is this!" He snarled.
"The thing with feathers…Magnangemon!" The great angel flew at Danny with newfound strength, hitting him head on. It knocked the wind out of the wolf. He gasped for breath.
"You're going to pay for that!" He growled. A glowing sword shot from his wrist as he charged at his foe. Magnangemon took out a large golden blade, and countered the attack. Danny snarled, and another blade shot from his other wrist.
"Spinning barrage!" He shouted. The wolf went into a twister, flying at Magnangemon. It hit him, breaking a large chunk off the helmet that he wore.
"Blade of truth!" The angel shouted, thrusting the blade into the middle of the twister. There was a great howl, and the winds stopped. Shadowmetalgarurumon X collapsed to the ground…the sword buried in his back.
Tucker had to turn away. The sight was too horrible. Magnangemon took his sword from the wolf's back, and dropped it. The green blood covered the ground below.
"So you beat…me." Danny rasped. "Sure…sure. The…thing with feathers…that's right. Lord Angemon. Strongest…champion…and ultimate…alive.
"I'm sorry Danny, but you left me no choice." The angel said, gravely.
"And you left me no choice as well!"
In an instant, the wolf leapt to his feet, the armor breaking away from his hands and arms, revealing large clawed paws, covered in black fur. The claws raked across the angel's chest. He cried out in pain.
Danny laughed dementedly as he stood back, admiring his work. Magnangemon grimaced as he looked at the wound. Shadometalgarurumon X showed his fangs, and ran for the angel. His claws shot out rapidly, hitting their target, and forcing him back. Magnangemon stumbled, and fell, deep scratches all over. Danny stood over him, his bloody claws hanging at his sides, a smile on his face.
"Just one more blow." He sneered.
"No!" Tucker screamed. Danny's attention turned to him, for just a second, before he looked once again at his prey.
"Leave him alone!" Elecmon shouted, as he ran up, landing on the wolf's back. Shadowmetalgarurumon X snarled, and yanked him off, throwing the small creature to the ground.
"You shouldn't have done that…Dark oblivion!" A great blast grew in Danny's clawed hands, flying at Elecmon. Magnangemon saw what was happening, and with the last of his strength…
Jumped between his friend and the blast…

Magnadramon flew over the earth as fast as she could, the others holding onto her back.
"We should almost be there." Gargomon said. "Not too far now. You're going the right way."
Things were going smoothly, until suddenly a large pack of Bakemon flew out, and surrounded them.
"Foxtail inferno!" Kyubimon shouted, blasting a few to bits.
"There's too many!" Gaogamon snarled, shooting his whirlwind, and killing a few more. "We'll be overtaken in a heartbeat.
Below, Kudamon spotted Skullbaluchimon, laughing below.
"He controls them." The fox said. "If we get rid of Skullbaluchimon, then we'll get rid of the Bakemon."
"Good idea." Sam said.
"But someone has to get the digimon survivors out of the valley, and stop Danny." Gargomon said.
"I'll stop Skullbalucimon." Kyubimon said.
"And I will too." Kudamon added. Sam stared at her partner in worry.
"Are you sure?" She asked. "You might still be too weak."
"I can do this Raven." The fox said, digivolving to Reppamon. "Come on."
The girl nodded, and jumped on her partners back. The two fox's leapt from the dragon, and landed in front of Skullbaluchimon. He laughed evilly.
"So…here to try and save your little friend? How noble."
"Whirling blade!" Reppamon shouted, flying at the digimon's legs. It hit, and there was a sickening snap, as the bone began to crack. The wolf snarled.
"If we hit him together, then it could break entirely!" Reppamon said. Kyubimon nodded.
"Dragon wheel!" She cried.
"Whirling blade!"
The two spun at Skullbaluchimon's injured leg. They hit at the same time, and the bone snapped in two. The wolf howled in agony, and collapsed.
Sam smiled triumphantly.
"You did it!" She shouted.
"I wouldn't be so sure…" Reppamon whispered panting slightly. There was s great flash, and all the Bakemon disappeared, their data flying into the remains of Skullbaluchimon. He rebuilt himself, growing taller. Then skin covered his bones. Muscle grew underneath it. Long shaggy fur covered his body.
"Dinotigemon!" He shouted.
"He's a mega!" Kyubimon cried. "How are we supposed to win against a mega!
"Let's just keep fighting!" Reppamon shouted. "We have to do this! Random claw!"
The fox ran forward, and raked his claws right over Dinotigemon's chest. The mega just shrugged it off. Reppamon landed, breathing heavily.
"Are you ok?" Kyubimon asked. Reppamon said nothing, but just collapsed, dedigivolving.
"I'm tired." He groaned.
"I knew this was a bad idea." Kybubimon said. "Now what?"
"Take my earring." The small fox whispered. "It should have enough power to boost you to ultimate."
"But I can't get it off!"
"Just hold onto it with your teeth." Kudamon whispered. "That should work."
Kyubimon did, and felt a strange jolt of power rush through her. Kudamon yelped, and then went limp.
"Kyubimon digivolve too…Taomon!"
There standing was a tall fox like creature, on two legs, with a short squat snout, covered with yellow fur. She was wearing long elaborate robes. The sleeves hid her hands from view.
"Are you alright Kudamon?" She asked.
"Yes." The small fox whispered. "It'll just take some time to regenerate the power in the ring. I'll be fine."
Taomon nodded, and faced Dinotigemon.
"I'm going to beat you." She snarled.

Time seemed to stand still as Magnangemon fell backwards. Elecmon stared as the digimon's data came apart, and vanished.
"No…Lord Angemon…" He gasped.
Shadowmetalgarurumon X laughed as he faced Tucker, charging up a blast in his hands. But then he paused. Tucker glared at him, his eyes blazing with hate.
"Go ahead! What are you waiting for!"
Danny stared for a moment, and then shook his head to clear it. What was holding him back?
"It's your conscious Danny. You can't hurt your friend." Blackgabumon said.
"Shut up!" Danny screamed pulling the chains again. There was a great clatter as they came loose from the walls, freeing their captive. Danny stared at them for a moment, and then smiled evilly.
"Dark ice!" He shouted. The blast hit Tucker head on, freezing him solid.
"Danny!" Blackgabumon screamed. "What did you do?"
"More…" the boy hissed. Another blast shot out, freezing the area around the valley. Then another and another. Digimon ran in fear as Danny laughed manically though it all.
"That's enough!" Wisemon shouted, fear slowly creeping into his voice. Danny turned and looked at him for a moment, but then just looked away.
"Listen to me!" Wisemon shouted. "You are my servant and you listen to me!"
Once more Shadowmetalgarurumon X turned his gaze to his master. Instead of stopping, Danny simply charged up a ball of dark energy, and fired. Wisemon created a shield to deflect it, sending it into the woods.
"What do you think you're doing!" Wisemon cried.
"What he's supposed to be doing!" Snarled Sangloupmon. "I warned you again and again, but you wouldn't listen."
Wisemon glared at the wolf, as Danny turned his attention to another area.
"You knew this was going to happen all along." The evil digimon hissed.
"And I warned you quite a few times. It was just that you were too wrapped up in your conquest to listen. Now the whole digital world is going to be destroyed because of you!" Sangloupmon growled.
"Why should I believe you?" Wisemon laughed. "You are the blood wolf. The thing that stalks the night. You use lies and trickery to get what you want. That's the only reason you're working with Lillithmon. You want something don't you?"
"Don't you dare tell me that you can give it to me! Because I already know you can't!" The wolf snarled.
"Are you so sure about that?" Wisemon hissed. "Are you really so sure?"

Danny stared at the area around him.
All covered in ice.
But even that wasn't enough.
"More…" He said softly.

"There he is!" Gaogamon shouted. "I can see him up ahead."
"What are all those statues?" Lobomon asked.
"Those aren't statues." Gargomon gasped. "Those are frozen digimon!"
"I can see Wargreymon. And Lillymon." Sorcermon said. "That is not good."
"I'll let you off here." Magnadramon added as he descended. "Stay out of the way. See if there are any survivors. Get them to safety."
"Do you need my help Jazz?" Kokomon asked.
"No." The dragon replied. "I think that Lobomon and I can handle it."
The small digimon nodded.
"Then go…"
Magnadramon smiled, and turned to Lobomon, who nodded, and digivolved to a larger form of himself, with shining armor, and twin blades for one hand.
"Beowulfmon…" He whispered. The wolf nodded at Magnadramon, and the two took off into the sky.

"You'd better run, Wisemon." Sangloupmon snarled. "It's always a show when the slave over throws his master. But you've seen that before haven't you? You've experienced it first hand."
Wisemon turned to the wolf, his eyes red with anger.
"Don't' you dare speak of that! You made a fool of me, blood wolf—"
"And you made a monster out of me!" Sangloupmon snarled. "I hide my eyes so I don't have to see what I have become. Lillithmon is the only one who will accept me for the beast I am. And when the digital world is hers, I'll make sure she punishes you for all the digimon you've hurt."
"You think that Lillithmon would do that for you?" Wisemon laughed. "She will do no such thing. I know it. You were such a good leader of the Stars. Much stronger than Skullbalichimon, even as a champion. You threw that all away."
The wolf glared at his former master for a moment, and then turned to the moon, high in the sky.
"The wolf moon may make Danny out of control, but it makes me stronger." He smiled. "Now I can digivolve without your 'help'"
Sangloupmon began to glow, an eerie purple light. When it faded, Wisemon backed away. There stood a strange floral digimon, with long saber claws. His yellow eyes gazed from underneath a golden helmet. A red sash billowed around him.
"Matadormon." He smiled. "I'm strong enough to beat you."
"Do what you wish." The evil digimon sneered. "This plan has already failed. But listen to this. Every one hundred years, the dark area's ruler dies, leaving the position open. Lillithmon might rule up here, but he who rules the dark area, will soon rule everything. Think of that."
There was a puff of smoke, and Wisemon disappeared. Matadormon growled, but then turned around when he heard someone come up behind him.
"Are you a good digimon?" Gargomon asked.
"This is Matadormon." Sorcermon said. "He is the evolved form of Sangloupmon."
"Really?" Gaogamon asked. "They look nothing alike."
"This is my true ultimate form." The digimon said. "My years of serving Wisemon corrupted my champion and rookie forms, resulting in what you've seen. Matadormon was untouched by the evil, and so remained as it always had been. Alas, it will not last long. We don't have much time. Have the two pointes of light found Danny yet?"
"They just set out." Sorcermon replied. "We have no way of contacting them."
"And where did the two foxes go? And the girl?"
"They're fighting Skullbaluchimon, trying to get rid of the Bakemon." Kokomon piped up.
"That is my fight." The digimon grumbled, walked past the others. "Skullbaluchimon is my enemy, and I'm going to beat him myself."

"Koji?" Koichi asked his brother. The now old man lay helplessly in his hospital bed .
"What is it?" Koji asked, trying to hold back his tears,
The brothers had grown old over the years, and their faces showed it. Now Koichi was sick and dying. He shuddered, and took a few ragged breaths.
"I keep seeing the digital world." Koichi said quietly. "Takuya, and J.P are there, waiting for us. A lot of others are there too. It looks like a great place…I think I'm going there soon."
"No!" Koji burst out. "You're going to get better again! Stop talking nonsense! Takuya was killed in a car accident ten years ago. J.P died last month! They're not in the digital world! They're dead! But you're not going to die…" At that moment, the man began to cry softly.
"Please Koji." Koichi begged. "This is happening, and you have to accept it. I can see Lowemon. We're becoming one again...Takuya misses you, and Zoë's just arrived. I'm going now…" His voice began to get softer. "I'll be waiting for you. Please hurry…"
"No!" Koji shouted. "Come on! You're not dying! You're not going to the digital world!"
His tears began flowing even more as his brother's eyes closed. He felt weak and helpless. The man stepped back as the hospital staff surrounded Koichi, trying to bring him back, but it had already happened.
"I never want to go there." Koji snarled under his breath. "I want to stay here forever. I don't care how, but I'm never going back…"

Beowulfmon cringed as the memory of his brother's death came back to him. He had been so determined not to do the same, that he ended up trapping himself as Strabimon. He had been stuck like that for years. The wolf remembered sitting by, as Tommy, the last of the digidestined alive, muttered to his family the same things that Koichi had. Maybe there was a place like that where he could rest.
Strabimon headed into the digital world, and began his search for the place that Koichi had spoken about…but he never found it. Soon he began to forget why he was in the digital world in the first place. He became a thief, just to stay alive. But most times, the larger digimon got the better of him, thus creating his obsession to be strong. Strabimon then met Salamon. He remembered thinking that she was pretty. She told the wolf about a partner she once had. Strabimon decided that they could be partners in crime, their main goal: To digivolve. Salamon had accomplished that first. She was even prettier then.
But Beowulfmoin then remembered Jazz. The human part of him really liked her. She had saved his life, and saw past the hatred and darkness to what was inside. Inside was Koji…the boy.
Now they were flying into battle again.

Shadowmetalgarurumon X floated in the sky, his arms crossed. Everything within his sight was held still by ice. He had accomplished his goal…
Or had he?
"There's more to the digital world." The wolf mumbled. "I can't see it now, but it's there, above the walls of this valley." With that, he soared up higher, until he was level with the clouds.
"I can see everything…" He hissed. Before his eyes, there were forests, lakes, oceans, deserts, plains, and much more. A wind blew past and ruffled the leaves on some of the trees.
"They won't be moving for long." The wolf snarled. His large claws glowed and a ball of black energy grew between them.
"Dark ice!" Danny screamed, raising the ball over his head, and letting it fly. It hit the forest, causing branches to splinter before they were frozen solid. Icy leaves fell to the ground, making sharp noises as they hit the cold ground.
Danny stared at his work, a wicked smile on his face.
Then he began to laugh dementedly, staring at the shocked faces of some Woodmon. One ran his branch-like arm over what had looked like a tree. The wolf now saw that it had eyes.
"Why are you doing this!" The Woodmon demanded. "We're peaceful digimon! What have we done to you!"
Danny knew that they could barely see him, so he began to descend, his laughter still echoing through the sky.
"What is it?" Asked a Bearmon breathlessly.
"It's a demon!" Cried one of the Woodmon in panic.
"No." Said another. This one looked old and gnarled. He was none other than the elder.
"It is the ghost boy. He is here to freeze the entire digital world. It does not look like the two points of light have been found."
The Bearmon stared at the elder fearfully, and then took off into the woods.
"Shouldn't we run too?" Asked another Woodmon.
"No." The elder replied. "Our demise is certain. All we can do is try to hold him, until the points of light get here. Only they can stop this threat."
"We can't fight!" One shouted.
"No. But we can speak. And speak we must, until we are frozen in place."
Danny landed on the ground, his arms crossed regally.
"What have you done to me?" He hissed. The Woodmon cringed.
"Well…Nothing except be major annoyances to my mission! Why do little pests like you have to run and hide? That just makes me want to freeze you more. It's your own faults. Running only delays the inevitable." He whipped out one arm, and froze a stray Woodmon. The others screamed in fear.
Danny laughed.
"I saw that Bearmon run. You can be sure that I'm going to go looking for him. I like the thrill of the hunt."
"Leave them alone Danny." Demanded a voice. The wolf spun around, only to be greeted by Beowulfmon lunging at him, blades outstretched. Danny blocked the attack using the remaining armor on his arms. The shadow wolf snarled at the other digimon's presence.
"So you want you fight do you?" Danny snarled, a demented smile crossing his face. His eyes switched from red, to a haunting yellow, specks of gold hidden in them. He licked his lips, and flexed his claws. He then gave an ear splitting howl. Beowulfmon grimaced as he noticed blood on the wolf's paws.
"Moonlight claw!" Shadowmetalgarurumon X screamed. His hands shot out, the claws raking across Beowulfmon's armor, leaving deep scratches. The good digimon stumbled backwards, his eyes focused on his opponent.
"Frozen hunter!" He cried. The large icy dragon formed above him, and flew at Danny. The wolf was ready.
"Dark ice!" He shouted. The two attacks hit, causing shards of ice to fly in all directions.
"That the best you got?" Shadowmetalgarurumon X sneered, his eyes widened insanely. "You're supposed to be the…what? Spirit of light or something! Do you think that scares me?"
"Never underestimate the power of light…" Beowulfmon snarled.
Danny threw back his head, and started laughing insanely. Then his yellow eyes shot open.
"Berserk killer!" Danny raced at Beowulfmon, who managed to dodge just in time. The evil wolf's claws continued forward, breaking a tree in half.
"See that!" He shouted dementedly. "I'm going to do that to your head! AARRAGGG!" Danny lashed out again. Beowulfmon ducked just in time, and didn't even have time to catch his breath before another punch was thrown...
