I do not own Digimon or any of its characters.
Takato wakes up panicking. He finds himself in an unfamiliar room until he remembers the events of the day before. How he entered a weird portal in Guilmons hideout, waking up on a meadow near the hospital, meeting someone called Tai and experiencing a world that was somehow extremely different from the world he knows.
"So yesterday wasn't a dream..." Takato thinks to himself.
Suddenly he realizes something as his eyes widen. "Where is Guilmon?"
He rushes out of the guest room into the main part of Izzys office as fast as he can, just to sigh in reliev to see Guilmon sitting on a chair next to Izzys computer, curiously watching as Izzy is typing some stuff into his computer. As Izzy sees Takato enter the room he gestures to his desk and says
"Ah, you are finally awake. Come here, I have to show you something. I have compared the data in your D-Power to some data of Digimon I have collected over the years. I saw that they are very similar to one another but at the same time very different. I came up with a little theory but let me explain some things first. We currently know about the existence of 3 worlds. Our world, the digital world and the dark ocean. We also know that there are a lot of other worlds besides these 3. Now to my theory. According to the stuff you told me, the data on your D-Power being different and the nature of the rift you entered, I think...that you are from another world. "
Takato is silent for a few second before he answers "Are you serious? That's ridiculous!"
Izzy just calmly replies with "A few years ago, if somebody told me about a digital world, I would have said the same thing. For now, it's the most logical explanation."
Their discussion gets interrupted when a red, buglike Digimon with green eyes and horns on the back flies around the corner, stopping, looking at Takato and Guilmon for a few seconds until he asks
"Izzy, who are those people?"
"That's Takato and Guilmon, his partner." Izzy responds "I forgot to introduce you. Takato, that's Tentomon, my partner."
Takato is surprised and says "You have a partner? I thought you were just some guy who happens to know a lot about Digimon."
There are a few seconds of awkward silence that gets interrupted by the doorbell ringing. After Izzy opens the door Tai, Davis, Ken, TK, Kari, Yolei and Cody enter the room. With them are Agumon, Patamon and Gatomon.
Everyone is introduced to Takato and Guilmon and Agumon get along with each other immediately.
"We came here because we want our partners back after the reboot. Can we finally go to the digiworld?" Davis asks impatiently while sitting on one of the chairs the wrong way with his arms on the back of the chair.
"Whats the reboot?" Takato asks.
"A few months ago, a lot of Digimon were infected by a virus that made them stronger and more aggressive. We weren't able to stop it. When it got too far, a power called the homeostasis rebooted the digiworld in an attempt to destroy the virus." Izzy explains. "In the process our partners and all the Digimon in the digiworld lost their memories. But luckily we were able to get them back. That whole story is way longer but I don't have time to explain all of it."
"Wow, sounds tough" Takato replies a bit stunned.
"Anyways, we are here to go to the digiworld now. Do you want to come with us?" Izzy asks Takato.
"Sure, but how do you get there?" Takato asks.
"I'll show you. Davis, come here!" Izzy responds.
Davis comes behind the PC and points his digivice at it causing a gate to the digital world to open, causing Izzy, Takato and Davis to get sucked in.
"Let's go after them" Tai tells the others as all of them step behind the Computer and get sucked into it.
The group finds themself on a meadow somewhere in the Digiworld. Takato and Guilmon are amazed by what they are seeing.
"Wow, this digiworld looks so much different than the one I know" Takato expresses while looking around himself. "The dig world I am used to has the earth above it and tumbleweeds of data everywhere."
Takatos excitement is short-lived as the group sees a small worm like Digimon running, or rather crawling into their direction as fast as it can.
"KEN, KEN!" the worm like Digimon says "Black gears! Black gears are appearing everywhere and turning Digimon wild!"
The Digimon jumps into Ken's arms before passing out from exhaustion. The younger kids didn't understand what the Digimon, Wormmon Ken's partner, meant but Izzy, Tai and TKs eyes widen in shock as they hear what Wormmon has to say.
"T-That... That means Devimon is back!" Izzy tells the others as he panics internally.
"Who is Devimon?" Ken asks confused with Wormmon still in his arms.
"Devimon is the first evil Digimon we fought when we entered the Digiworld. And he is the one who turned Patamon back into an egg" Tk says, shouting the last part.
"I, Izzy and Takato go to infinity mountain and deal with Devimon while the rest of you find the Armoreggs." Tai declares confidently.
"Shouldn't we tell the others first before we confront him?" Izzy asks while staring at Tai in disbelief of what he just said.
"He is only on the champion level. And we have become a lot stronger since the first time we fought him."
"Im coming with you!" TK surprisingly declares "I have a personal grudge against that guy. Defeating him is more important right now than finding my armor egg. Are you coming too Kari?"
"No, Wormmon is still unconscious and we should at least have one Digimon with us should something attack us" Kari replies.
"It's settled then" Tai shouts in a motivational tone "Me, Izzy, Takato and TK go to Infinity mountain and deal with Devimon. The rest of you find the Armoreggs. The most important ones are courage, love and knowledge so Davis, Yolei and Cody can get their partners back. The other eggs aren't important right now. Got it? Let's go!"
-30 minutes later, Infinity mountain-
The group is walking up the spiraling path to infinity mountain. Takato and Tai lead at the front. Guilmon and Agumon are right behind them talking about food. Izzy is typing something in one of his laptops with Tentomon right behind him. TK is right next to Izzy. Patamon is resting on his head. Suddenly Guilmons eyes change and he begins to growl.
"What's up with him?" TK asks Takato.
"That means a digimon is nearby" Takato explains.
"Oh how right you are..." a mysterious voice states.
The mysterious voice is quickly revealed when devimon descends from the top of infinity mountain. The digimon react and get into combat position. Agumon attacks with a Pepper Breath and Guilmon quickly follows with a Pyro sphere. Devimon destroys the two balls of fire with ease using his claw like hand. Tai, Izzy and TK start to nod to one another.
[Agumon digivolve to... Greymon]
[Tentomon digivolve to... Kabuterimon]
[Patamon warp digivolve to... Seraphimon]
"Woah woah woah. Don't you think going directly to mega is a bit overkill?" Tai says, while staring at TK.
"I'm not taking any chances against that guy!" TK shouts "remember what happened the last time we fought him?"
Takato trys to ask what happened but Izzy stops him.
"The first time we fought devimon, his partner Angemon, sacrificed himself to defeat him." Izzy explains "He was 8 when that happened. He still reacts really sensitively whenever he sees Devimon."
Takato just nods understanding while swiping a digivolution card trough his D-Power.
[Guilmon digivolve to... Growlmon]
Greymon and Growlmon try to tackle Devimon but he flies upwards and the two dinosaurs bump into each other.
"I see you learned a few new tricks. I don't have time to deal with you right now. My master demands me." Devimon says in a mocking tone "but here is something to keep you busy"
Out of nowhere, 3 black gears shoot from the sides of a mountain. They fly right trough Greymon, Growlmon and Seraphimon at a speed to fast to dodge. But they dont get stuck inside them and don't leave a wound. Instead, the gears leave their bodies immediately and levitate in the air in front of them. More black gears appear and attach themselves to the gears that just flew trough the digimon. About ten gears attach themselves to the gears that flew trough Growlmon and Greymon, but hundreds of gears attach themselves to the gear that hit Seraphimon. After no more black gears appear, the piles of black gears turn into a black fluid taking the form of three digimon. A greymon with blue skin and a black horn on his head instead of the normal brown one, a pitch black Growlmon with red marks at the spots where Growlmon has black marks and a green Seraphimon with devilish wings and a X on his mask where Seraphimon has a cross. Izzy opens the Digimon analyzer on his laptop.
"BlackGreymon, Level Champion. BlackGrowlmon, Level Champion and ShadowSeraphimon, Level Mega." Izzy reads from his laptop.
"He made dark copies of your digimon!" Izzy shouts "BlackGreymon and BlackGrowlmon should be manageable but ShadowSeraphimon is really dangerous!"
Greymon and BlackGreymon start to fight. They try to push each other off the small path they are standing on. Growlmon and BlackGrowlmon do the same thing. ShadowSeraphimon unleashes his" strike of the seven dark stars" which is countered by Seraphimons "strike of the seven stars". As ShadowSeraphimon realizes that his attacks are being countered by Seraphimon, he grabs Seraphimon and jumps down infinity mountain with Seraphimon under him. TK quickly runs down the path after them. Greymon and BlackGreymon are still trying to push each other off the mountain. None of them really make progress as their power is equal. Suddenly BlackGreymon bites Greymon in his shoulder. Due to the pain Greymon loses his footing and is almost pushed off the mountain.
"Our power is equal, we need to digivolve further if we want to win!" Tai shouts.
[Greymon digivolve to... MetalGreymon]
MetalGreymon regains his footing and wants to attack, when suddenly a cloud of black smoke surrounds Blackgreymon. More black gears appear and fly into the cloud of smoke. After the cloud dissapears, a MetalGreymon with the same blue skin as BlackGreymon stands at the spot where BlackGreymon just stood.
"MetalGreymon (Virus), Level Ultimate." Izzy reads off his laptop.
"Guys, don't digivolve! They will also become stronger!" he shouts.
"But how are we supossed to defeat them when when our strength is always equal?" Tai asks while shouting.
"Leave that to us" Izzy replies. "Kabuterimon didn't get copied"
[Kabuterimon digivolve to... MegaKabuterimon]
"Takato can you get us a free line of fire?" Izzy asks.
Takato nods as he swipes a card trough his D-power.
"Digimodify, MetalGreymon!" he shouts.
Growlmons arms transform into metal arms like MetalGreymons. Next, Takato swipes another card.
"Digimodify, Speedboost!"
Growlmon gains a speedboost and runs behind BlackGrowlmon before it can react and grabs it from behind.
"Now!" Growlmon shouts.
MegaKabuterimon fires his Horn buster at BlackGrowlmon who turns back into black gears which explode into data.
"Now, all that's left is BlackMetalGreymon!" Takato says while swiping a blue card trough his D-Power.
[Growlmon digivolve to... WarGrowlmon]
MetalGreymon fires his Giga Blaster to bring distance between him and BlackMetalGreymon using the explosion. He slides back along the path while BlackMetalGreymon slides into WarGrowlmons and MegaKabuterimons direction. Before it can come to a stop it gets hit by a combination of WarGrowlmons atomic blaster and MegaKabuterimons horn buster, blasting it into pieces. Tai, Izzy and Takato smile thinking that they had won the battle but ShadowSeraphimon rises up behind them with a injured Patamon in his hand. He drops Patamon on the ground and laughs.
"He's a mega. You know what to do!" Izzy says.
Everyone nods and WarGrowlmon degenerates back to Guilmon.
[MetalGreymon digivolve to... Wargreymon]
[MegaKabuterimon digivolve to... HerkulesKabuterimon]
[Guilmon biomerge to... Gallantmon]
ShadowSeraphimon fires his "strike of the seven dark stars" but HerkulesKabuterimon blocks the attack using the hard shell on his back. Wargreymon and Gallantmon emerge from behind Herkuleskabuterimon to attack. ShadowSeraphimon flicks his hand and releases an invisible Shockwave that knocks both attackers back. ShadowSeraphimon rises up into the sky. The weather changes from sunny to a thunderstorm within seconds. The lightning has a purple color and hits Wargreymon who reverts back to Agumon.
"You fools. You can't defeat me. Not even the great Seraphimon was able to defeat me!" Seraphimon says with a voice so deep and distorted that it hurts to hear.
"Not if I can prevent it!" Gallantmon replies as he jumps up. His armor becomes red and he grows wings. "Invincible sword!"
He uses his sword, the Blutgang, to knock ShadowSeraphimon to the ground. On the ground, Herkules Kabuterimon uses his attack high mega blaster to unleash a powerful energy blast, defeating ShadowSeraphimon.
Authors notes: I know that blue skinned MetalGreymon is just called MetalGreymon (Virus) but I still called in BlackMetalGreymon 2 or 3 times to differentiate between the normal one and the evil one. Also, I know ShadowSeraphimon is technically Mercurymon with Seraphimon data but it fit really well as a dark version of Seraphimon. Also also, I know Patamon never warp digivolved, but since he reached Mega in tri. and warp digivolving is just going trough champion ultra really fast, I used it here. AlsoX3 I hope the writing isn't too rushed in this chapter, I tried my best to write as detailed as possible.
