Chapter 3- Old Reliable

Wiley E Coyote, here with a new chapter. I am stuck in a bit of a rut right now and this story seems to be the only one I can really focus on. I will try to get a new chapter for other stories but it just won't happen for a while. Sorry about that but I want my stories to be decent or good if not great and I can't do that if I rush.

I watched some of the Digimon Hunters and then looked up the rest of the season and I have to say that Quartzmon both terrifies me and does not exist in my story. In my story, Digiquartz is just a branch of the digital world that separated and bonded with the Digital network of the human world. You could think of Digiquartz and the human world as two sides to the same coin. The human world is heads and created Digiquartz while Digiquartz is tails and balances out the human world and allows technology to work.

I did some research and found out, that schools in Japan start in April and end near Christmas so I am going to say that the school year, and subsequently the season, started around the beginning of April and will end about a week before Christmas. This gives them at the beginning of the school year about 35-36 (correct me if I am wrong) weeks until Christmas and that the story right now takes place roughly in the end of April, 23rd of April to be exact since I am going by the 2015 calendar, about a week before Golden week in Japan. Because of this, I will be having each chapter have a small time skip that will usually be a week but can be more or less of a time period, unless I decide to just do a chapter involving some of Davis' adventures in the Digital world and Digiquartz. I will fill in a brief summary on has happened to Davis during the time between episodes.

Here's the update for the poll for Davis' love interest:

Nene- 5

Mimi -3

Younger-Yoshino- 1

There it is. Nene is still in the lead with Mimi catching up and Yoshino is finally getting some votes in. The good news is that I am planning on having either Nene or Mimi be a sister figure to Davis depending on who wins the poll. Now I just need to think of some embarrassing for Davis and his sister figure to embarrass each other. Send a review to vote (I forgot about the poll function and figure it is a little too late for that as well as seriously regretting it) the poll ends next chapter.

Last thing to say, Davis wears a belt that he keeps bullets on hidden by his vest in both the human and real world and I spelled Ember Cecilia wrong. It's actually spelled Ember Celica. Awesome weapon and is only beaten by Crescent Rose as my favorite weapon. You can thank the Yang vs. Tifa death battle episode for that correction.

Chapter Begin

*Digital world, snowy area, random location; One week later, Thursday, 3:00*

In a snowy area of the Digital, we find a bunch of Gizamon carrying pieces of metal with a control spire in the background. The sound of a whip cracking could be heard and holding the whip was the Digimon emperor. Suddenly, one of the Gizamon fell over catching the attention of the emperor with his ever present Digimon, Wormon, standing behind him. "Who said you could take a break? Get up!" He said swinging his whip at the fallen Digimon. Suddenly a white blur appeared in front of it and caught the whip.

There holding the whip was Gomamon and he looked mad. "Hey, quit it. There all tired and need rest. Maybe someone should use this on you," he said. The Digimon emperor pulled the whip out of Gomamon's grip and spoke harshly, "Number one, don't ever talk to me without calling me sir and number two, don't ever talk to me!" He said the last part as he whipped Gomamon in the face. "Whoever among you can defeat this creature will receive a special prize package. The rest will receive some lovely parting gifts. Who is up for the challenge?" He said to the Gizamon.

Gomamon had gotten up and looked nervous at the proclamation as the Gizamon got ready to attack him. "I know all about Gizamon. They are aquatic Digimon whose webbed feet rip through the water at extreme speeds." The emperor mumbled. "Come on guys. You wouldn't do that to me?" Gomamon asked scared. The Gizamon's answer was to attack him viciously until he was unconscious. "They beat him master. Tell them what they've won." Wormon said. His master smirked maliciously, "They have all won the right to be my slaves."

As he said that Dark rings flew down from the sky and attached themselves to the Gizamon. Once all the Gizamon were enslaved, their new master ordered, "Get back to work. I want the prison finished." As the Gizamon got back to work, Wormon asked, "What about Gomamon?" The emperor answered, "Let him freeze. Come on Wormon, let's go home. I want some hot chocolate."

Shortly after the emperor left, Gomamon regained consciousness. He started crawling up the hill. 'I just have to climb up this little hill.' He thought. After ten more minutes of climbing, he revised his earlier statement, 'Okay maybe it's not such a little hill after all. Hey what's that?' He had reached the top of the hill and saw a cube shaped object almost completely covered by the snow. He was able to reach the cube before running out of energy. "Joe," was the last thing he managed to say before succumbing to sleep.

*Human world, Joe's school, just outside it; 3:00*

Joe was talking to several of his classmates when his Digivice suddenly started beeping red. "On no, Gomamon." He said worriedly. "Hey Joe are you ready for that big anatomy test today?" His classmate asked. Joe looked a little nervous. "Sorry I got to go. I forgot to remember to forget something." Joe said before running off.

*Obadiah school, hallway by the computer; 3:00*

Davis was walking towards the computer room when he saw Cody walking down a flight a stairs that leads to the exit. Curiously to where Cody was going Davis asked, "Hey, Cody. Where are you going? The computer room is that way." Cody turned around and answered Davis, "Hey, Davis. I'm heading home. I have kendo practice this afternoon. My grandpa is the teacher and he would be pretty upset if I missed them." Davis nodded, "Good luck and say hi to your grandfather for me." Cody looked surprised that Davis didn't try to stop him before he recovered, "Thank you for understanding." With that said Cody headed home and Davis went to the computer room.

When Cody was out of sight, Davis sighed. Cody was the only one of the group that actually respected him while the others generally ignored what he said to do and made fun of him. He wasn't even really the leader of the group, most of the time they looked to TK when they made a decision on how to act instead of listening to what he had to say. Cody at least looked at both plans and chose after he made his opinion.

The past week had been fairly calm and Davis had been able to get a few things done. He was able to finish his goggles and all the modifications with them. They had a set of buttons on the upper rims that activated the functions. He wore them proudly on his head yet no one seemed to notice that he no longer wore his regular goggles except for Tai when he gave Tai back his original goggles and Mimi when he contacted her at night. He also changed his outfit a bit. Now he wore a short sleeve blue shirt under his blue vest and he had his metal gloves on his hands.

Thanks to the digital gate on his computer Davis didn't need to wait for the others at the computer room and could go to the digital world whenever he wanted to so every night, Davis would open the digital gate and explore the digital world some while destroying several control spires. As he continued to explore he came across a snowy area and after freezing quite a lot, crafted several cloaks for himself and his Digimon which he kept in his satchel.

Davis eventually found Palmon and took her to his room so she could talk to Mimi. Mimi and Palmon were ecstatic when that they could talk to each other and promised each other that they would see each other soon. Wisemon continued Davis' training in Digi-crafting and he could safely say that Davis almost was a master at it. The only other event that was worth mentioning was that Davis finding several unique members that joined his team while in Digiquartz.

Flashback

Davis and V-mon were exploring the Digiquartz version of an abandoned factory near Obadiah. They were inside the factory and were surprised to see that the inside was huge, clean and was converted to be more of a home than a factory. They were being cautious though since this means that someone lived here and could attack them. With their luck it would be a horde of Digimon.

They were looking inside the rooms of everything seeing if they could find anything of use or anyone needing help. When looking into the twentieth room, Davis saw a blue and red robotic Digimon lying on the table with a bunch of tools lying around it. His loader flashed on and brought up the Digimon analyzer.

"Digimon analyzer activated. This Digimon is a Ballistamon. They are extremely powerful Digimon that looks warlike but are peaceful Digimon. Never throwing the first punch but when it battles it shows extreme strength. It attacks with Ram Slammer and Seismic Speaker."

Davis with his love of machinery had his curiosity peeked when he saw the machine Digimon. Walking up to it, he saw that the Digimon was in pretty bad shape and that someone had been trying to fix it and while they were making progress were doing a poor job. Wanting to fix it, Davis called for V-mon to come in here. In a few moments V-mon came into the room. "What's up Davis?" He asked. Davis pointed to the Ballistamon. "Check out what I found," he said. "Sweet, what are we going to do about it?" V-mon asked. "I'm going to try and fix it but I want you and the other smaller Digimon to explore the place and keep an eye out for any other Digimon."

V-mon saluted good-naturedly, "You can count on me and the other Digimon, Davis." Davis nodded and pulled out his loader, "Thanks V-mon. Now let's get everyone else out. Gatomon, BlackGatomon, Impmon, Wizardmon, Cutemon Reload." In a flash of data the Digimon mentioned came out and started to explore the factory while Davis got to work on fixing up the Digimon.

It took him awhile but after about a half an hour, he was able to get most of the Digimon's working. He closed up his body parts and turned on the Ballistamon praying that it would work. The Digimon's yellow eyes started to power up signifying that it was working. A robotic groan could be heard from the Digimon as it slowly got up. "Shoutmon, what happened?" It asked. Davis took note of the name and helped the Digimon up and answered the confused machine, "I don't know who Shoutmon is. My Digimon and I found you here and I fixed you up."

Ballistamon held out his hand and spoke, "You have my thanks. I can only imagine how worried my friend, Shoutmon is." Davis took his hand and shook it. "No problem, now let's find Shoutmon before he attacks my Digimon friends." Davis said. Ballistamon nodded and started to walk towards the main entrance with Davis following close behind. They had just reached the entrance when the door to it opened. In walked a small red dragon-like Digimon, a star shaped Digimon and a horde of similar looking but different Digimon. On each of their back held a bag.

"Digimon analyzer activated. Shoutmon is an aggressive Digimon due to its hot-blooded enthusiasm. It is however kind to its comrades and has the mysterious trait of always carrying a MacField-brand mic which it can use in bōjutsu. It attacks with his Fiery Fastball and Rock and Roller.

This Starmon is a Major Digimon and the leader of a group called the Starmons, a group of Pickmon with a Starmon leading them. He keeps them in line and can order them to do various attacks. It attacks with Rock 'n' Rolling and Star Storm.

Pickmon are Minor Digimon and are the subordinates of the group called Starmons. They follow the orders of the lead Starmon to the letter. There are three types of Pickmon, Silver, white and red Pickmon. They attack with Power Picks and when Starmon directs them they can attack with Meteor Shower."

Shoutmon, Starmon and the Pickmon saw Davis but not Ballistamon. Shoutmon got into a fighting stance with his mic and the Starmons got ready to attack themselves. "Who are you and why are you here?" Shoutmon asked. Davis scratched the back of his head nervously while descretly pulling the compact form of his scythe out of his satchel and answered, "My name is Davis and my Digimon and I were exploring the area when we found the factory and came inside."

When Shoutmon heard that he relaxed and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry about that. I am just nervous because my friend is injured and I was worried that you came to delete him or something. We were picking up supplies for him using the Trailmon tunnels and we just got back." Ballistamon chose this moment to step in. "You don't have to worry about me anymore. Thanks to Davis I am up, running and my systems are slowly healing." It said. Faster than Davis is could see, Shoutmon and the Starmons were all around Ballistamon hugging him.

When Shoutmon stopped hugging Ballistamon, he turned to Davis and said, "Thank you. I was worried that he would never wake up. Is there anything we can do to thank you?" Davis thought about it for a moment and said, "There are a few things."

Flashback ends

Davis wanted to know more about the Trailmon that Shoutmon was talking about and if they could use the factory as a base in Digiquartz. Shoutmon had no problem with that and welcomed the company. Davis gathered all his Digimon together and introduced them to Shoutmon and his friends. Shoutmon then proceeded to explain what the Trailmon system was.

The Trailmon system was a branch of train tracks that spread across the entire portion of Digiquartz and could take someone anywhere in a matter of minutes for a price of a couple Digi-dollars. This got Davis' attention as he always wanted to see the world. Davis stayed with Shoutmon for about a week Digiquartz time. He bonded with him and when it was time to leave, Shoutmon and his friends decided to join. The factory was converted as a base for when they stayed in Digiquartz for an extended time and had traps and other nasty surprises for those who tried to enter without permission.

The only other thing that happened is that he worked at Digimen for about a week, Digiquartz time. He made 450 Digi-dollars but he spent about half of it buying snacks or food for V-mon and his other Digimon when they exited the fusion loader.

Davis was broken out of his thoughts when he reached the computer room door. He looked at his loader and saw that he was late. Knowing he was going to get yelled at by Yolei, he decided to get over with it and entered the room, seeing that Kari, TK, Yolei and, of course, all their Digimon partners were already there. "You're late!" Yolei screamed the moment that she saw Davis. "Sorry, I was talking to Cody. He has kendo practice so he had to leave." Davis defended himself.

Upamon jumped over to Davis and asked, "What's kendo?" Davis thought a little before answering, "Kendo is a form of sword play. I don't know a lot about it. I have always favored a Bo staff, scythe or just my fists when I have to fight. Anyways what's going on?" TK spoke up, "There's a distress call from one of the Digimon." "Well where is it?" He asked. Yolei typed something on the computer and pulled up a grid with black, white and gray units on it and one of the black units was flashing red. "I got it. It is in one of the black areas controlled by the Digimon emperor and it's a lot farther than we have ever gone." She said.

"This should add to our frequent flier miles." Kari joked. "According to this map, the emperor's area is getting a lot bigger but someone has been taking out several of his control spires." Yolei informed them. This got everyone's attention but Davis would not let them think about it too long. "It doesn't matter who it is. One of the Digimon is in trouble and that is our priority right now. Let's go to the digital world." Davis interrupted their train of thought.

"We can't leave without Cody." Upamon said. "I don't know what we should do about Cody but staying here and doing nothing just causes a lot of Digimon to suffer under the emperor's control. Who knows but Cody may get out of practice early and come here." Davis reasoned. Upamon deflated when he realized what Davis said was true. Davis, seeing his mood change, patted Upamon on the head and reassured him, "Don't worry about that. Cody's your partner and I know I would want to wait if Demiveemon couldn't come. You know what, I will stay here until Cody gets back or they need help. How does that sound?" Upamon cheered up at that, "That's great Davis. Thanks."

As they finished up the conversation, Davis and Upamon noticed that none of the others heard what they said. Upamon decided to inform them of what was Davis was doing. The other Digidestined decided to go ahead and go, leaving Demiveemon, Upamon and Davis alone in the room.

*Cody's apartment building (just assuming this), Kendo Dojo; 3:30*

Cody was in the middle of a spar with his grandfather. They were both dressed in traditional kendo armor and were holding a bokken in a ready stance. Cody was breathing heavily and his focus was on his opponent when his vision blacked out and an image of Upamon looking sad could be seen. This momentary lack of focus allowed his grandfather to redirect his bokken and strike Cody.

The scene shifts to Cody and his Grandpa Hida were sitting across the floor from each other. His grandfather was looking at him with an inquisitive stare. Finally his grandfather spoke, "What's the matter with you today Cody? You just can't seem to concentrate today." Cody lowered his head a little and apologized, "I'm sorry, Grandfather." His grandfather got up speaking, "You haven't lost interest in the martial arts, have you? Or hanging out with your own grandpa."

Cody looked a little indignant with that accusation. "Of course not." He exclaimed. His grandfather continued, "I can read faces. Your expression shows me that something is troubling you deep inside. Your father acted the same way when he was a boy. I have been to many lands and met many people and I have found only one thing I can count on." He said this as he sat back down with his back turned to Cody and unraveled a package. "Prune juice! Ha!" He exclaimed. Cody sweat dropped. "Yep, take two big glasses. You'll be fine." He said happily holding up a package that said two cups on it.

"You want some?" He asked. Cody calmly replied, "No thanks. I am afraid that my problems are even too big for prune juice." His grandfather looked intrigued. "There are others who are counting on me to do something and I am afraid of letting them down." He explained. Grandpa Hida reassured his grandson, "I once told your father, people will rely on you only to the extent that you rely on yourself. Try your hardest and you will not let them down."

Cody took those words to heart and nodded, "Right." He got up and ran out of the room. "I got to go. Thanks for the advice, Seeya." He said before he backpedaled, "Oh and my friend, Davis, says hello." With that said he took off. Back in the dojo, Grandpa Hida said, "I wonder how Davis is doing in his studies in martial arts. Wait what did my grandson say? No problem is too big for prune juice." Before taking a bag of it and drinking it.

*Obadiah school, hallway, door to the computer room; 4:00*

In the hallway of the school, we can see someone walking towards the computer room. We can't see who it is but they were about to reach the door to the room.

Meanwhile inside the room, Upamon had heard someone walking to the door and shouted out that it was Cody. This caused everyone to go into a state of panic as they had yet to go to the digital world and opted to wait for Cody for a bit. "Everyone hide!" Davis exclaimed quietly. The Digidestined were running around the room with their respective Digimon partners in their arms. The door opened causing them to freeze.

In from the door stepped a blue haired man with a pair of glasses on. "It's Joe!" Kari, TK, Gatomon and Patamon said. Joe calmly greeted them, "Hi guys. Wow, even though Tai told me about it, it's still strange seeing the Digimon in the real world." TK walked over to Joe and introduced him, "This is Joe, our old friend we told you about." Davis greeted Joe politely as Demiveemon jumped down from his arms, "Oh right the doctor-in-training. It's nice to meet you." Yolei pulled Poromon up, squishing him, "Can you take a look at my tonsils for me?"

Kari took this moment to introduce them, "Joe this is Davis and Yolei. He's not really a doctor yet, Yolei." TK took this moment to speak, "Glad you are here. We got a distress call from one of the Digimon." "It's Gomamon, I know." Joe said. "So your Digivice was triggered to? That's why you are here." TK asked. Joe nodded, "Yeah, I'm worried about Gomamon."

At this point Demiveemon had started jumping at the bag in Joe's hand. "Candy, Candy!" He shouted excitedly. Joe quickly moved the bag out of the little Digimon's reach and reprimanded the Digimon, "Hey, these are supplies for an emergency." Davis looked a little embarrassed at Demiveemon's behavior. "Demiveemon, stop that. We talked about this. No stealing other people's food. Besides you know I have candy in my satchel." Demiveemon immediately stopped, looked embarrassed for a second before brightening up and shot towards Davis' bag screaming, "Candy!" Davis laughed at his Digimon's behavior, rummaged around his bag and pulled out enough candy for all the Digimon partners. "I got enough candy for all the Digimon." This brought an elated cheer from the Digimon partners before they tackled Davis yelling for candy.

Ignoring the actions of Davis and the Digimon, Kari asked Joe, "Are you going to the digital world with us? We could really use your help." Joe answered, "Absolutely." TK took out his new Digivice and explained a bit about it, "These are the Digivices of the new generation of Digidestined. They're the only things that can open a gate to the digital world." "Yeah, Izzy gave me a heads about them. He also told me about this jerk who calls himself the Digimon emperor." Joe said.

"Alright, let's open the gate." Yolei said. "Right," Davis agreed. He took out his D-3 and pointed it at the computer screen. Just when he was about to open the gate, the door opened up, revealing Cody. "What about me?" Cody asked. "Cody, you made it, you made it, you made it, you made it!" Upamon yelled bouncing up and down next to his partner. Cody turned to Joe and politely apologized, "You're going to have to forgive him. He's hyperactive."

Davis walked over to Cody and patted him on the back. "Glad you can make it. How good old Grampa Hida? Is he still obsessing over prune juice?" Davis asked. Cody answered absentmindedly, "He's doing great and yes, he's still obsessed about prune juice. Wait, how do you know my grandfather?" Davis smiled, "He was my kendo instructor before he realized that kendo was not meant for me and introduced me to several instructors to help me out. I haven't seen him in a long time, though." Cody nodded filing this away for later.

"Enough talk. Let's go to the digital world! The gates open." Yolei said. The group brought their Digivices to the gate and was sucked into the screen.

*Digital world, snowy area, next to TV; 4:05 PM*

The group landed in the digital world. Davis, Yolei, and Cody's clothes changed to what they normally wear in the digital world, TK, Kari and Joe wearing their normal clothes and Demiveemon, Upamon, and Poromon Digivolved to their rookie forms. Davis was the first to notice the weather as his clothing was made for a warmer climate. "Brr. I hate the cold. How are the rest of you guys doing?" He asked his teeth chattering as he rummaged through his satchel, pulling out a cloak. Oddly enough, none of the other Digidestined seemed to notice the cold.

Joe pulled out a hand warmer and gave it to Cody and began passing them out to everyone else. He was about to give one to Davis when he saw Davis wrapped in a warm looking cloak with his goggles over his eyes. "Here use this to keep warm." Joe said. Everyone took them and thanked Joe. Yolei was having trouble opening her hand warmer and dropped it on the ground. The hand warmer started melting the snow and when Yolei picked it up, she saw Gomamon's head sticking under the snow. Joe noticed Gomamon and started digging him out of the snow.

In a few minutes, Joe had pulled Gomamon out of the snow and saw he was covered in bruises and scratches. Joe cradled Gomamon and asked, "Gomamon are you okay? What day of the week is it?" Gomamon slowly opened his eyes and answered, "Joe, it's Saturday." Joe breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually it's Thursday, but you could never tell what day of the week it is so you're okay. What happened to you Gomamon?"

Gomamon started to explain what happened to him and the Digimon here. By the end of the Gomamon's tale, the group was trying to figure out what to do. "How are we going to get across the frozen lake?" TK pointed out. "Joe do you have any skates, we could use six pairs," Yolei asked. Joe sheepishly scratched the back of his head, "Sorry, I'm all out." Davis looked around and got an idea. He shouted to Joe, "Hey Joe, do you have any rope in that bag?" Joe looked at Davis and answered, "Yeah, I do. Why?" Davis smiled looking at the trees around the group, "I have an idea."

About a half an hour later, the group had built a makeshift sled and harnesses for the Digimon to take them across the ice. The Digimon were tied to the harnesses and the kids were on the sled. "This is going to be easy," Davis said. "Easy for you to say, you're not the one pulling it." Armadillomon said. "I'll give you candy if you start pulling the sled. V-mon knows how much candy I got on me." Davis said. All the Digimon and their partner sans Davis looked at V-mon expectantly. "How much candy does he have with him?" Gatomon asked. "He has a lot of candy on him, enough to fill several lockers full." V-mon said.

This got the Digimon's excited and quickly started pulling the sled singing about candy. "There goes my stash and wallet." Davis mumbled. The others shot Davis pitying looks. The group was making great time as they were already halfway to the control spire, when ten snowman-like Digimon appeared in their path. "Uh-oh, we've got visitors." Patamon said. "Look snowman, how cute." Yolei said happily. "No, they're Frigimon, but what's that around their legs?" TK explained. They looked closer and saw that it was a dark ring.

Up on a cliff, the Digimon emperor was watching this with an evil smile. As the Digidestined got closer, he spoke to the Digimon under his command, "Attack!" The Frigimon punched the air in front of them and a spectral fist made of ice shot out of it towards the sled, which the Digimon swerved to avoid them. Unfortunately, the attack caused a lot of snow to fall on Davis making him a lot colder. "Freeze them, Frigimon with your sub-zero ice punch! It's amazing how such docile creatures can be turned into such abominable snow man." The emperor said.

"V-mon, untie yourself!" Davis shouted as he got up. V-mon struggled to untie himself as they continued to dodge "Sub-zero ice punches". "What are you doing Davis?" TK asked. "I'm going to buy us some time. I'll hold the Frigimon off, you guys go take care of the control spire." Davis said as V-mon finally untied himself and jumped onto the sled. "Keep going past the Frigimon. Don't stop for me, just go." Davis said as he pick V-mon up. "Are you crazy, you'll get hurt!" TK said. Davis ignored TK and got ready to jump off the sled.

When they were about two-hundred feet away from the Digimon, Davis jumped off the sled, landed with a roll and pulled his D-3 out. "Digi-armor energize!" He shouted.

"V-mon armor Digivolve to… Flamedramon, the fire of courage!"

"Davis!" The Digidestined called out. "Don't worry about me! Me and Flamedramon have got this covered! You just take care of the control spire!" Davis shouted back as the sled moved past the Frigimon. "Attack the hill behind you!" The emperor said, not willing to let the Digidestined any further. The Frigimon all let loose an attack on the hill behind them creating an avalanche that was heading straight to the Digidestined causing the sled to swerve to the left to avoid it and out of Davis' line of sight. "That should take care of them for now. I'll leave the boy here to deal with the Frigimon and go attack the other Digidestined." He mumbled to himself as he walked off.

Davis turned to the Frigimon with an unreadable look as he reached into his satchel and took out Ember Celica putting them on under his cloak. He put them on, slammed his knuckled into each other and spoke, "Flamedramon, distract the Frigimon and aim for the dark rings." "You got it Davis. Fire Rocket!" He said before he punched towards the Digimon sending several balls of fire toward the snowy Digimon making them split up into two groups.

Davis smiled, his blood boiling. "Let's have some fun!" He said before he sped forward at high speeds towards the first group of Frigimon. When he neared the first snowmen, he jumped over the "sub-zero ice punch" that was headed his way and punched the Digimon in the face and fired a nonlethal bullet into its face using the rebound of the gauntlet to launch himself high into the air towards the nearest Frigimon. Davis' fists became surrounded by digital energy but he did not activate the Digivolution mode. While in the air he fired a bullet towards fallen Frigimon's Dark ring, destroying it and fired at the other Frigimon to distract them.

He landed behind the next Frigimon and punched its back firing another bullet. The Digimon fell onto its knee and Davis took the opportunity to break the dark ring causing it to fall unconscious. The three remaining Frigimon in his group pulled back their fists preparing for another "sub-zero ice punch" but Davis would have none of it. Before they could even send a punch at the boy, he was firing a barrage of bullets towards the Digimon. The Digimon covered their faces to block some of the bullets but that was all Davis needed.

He rushed towards the three distracted Digimon and attacked the Dark rings around their legs. He managed to destroy two of them but the last Frigimon recovered enough to dodge the attack and backed away from Davis. Davis backed up from the Digimon and pulled both of his hands back. The gauntlet opened up and 24 empty shells came out and fell towards the ground dispersing into data. Davis pulled two bands of bullets out of his belt and into the air. He caught them in the ammo slot of his gauntlet and closed it up. "You're the last one," he said as he looked over at Flamedramon and saw him relaxing near a pile of defeated Frigimon.

The Frigimon sent a punch towards Davis but was blocked by Davis' data covered fist meeting it in mid attack. Davis pulled his other fist back and shot a bullet straight between its eyes. The Frigimon stumbled backwards and Davis took advantage. He rushed forward and gave the snowman an uppercut then gave it a round house kick to the stomach sending the Digimon to the ground. Davis walked to the fallen Digimon and punched the Dark ring, obliterating it.

Davis once again emptied Ember Celica and reloaded it before putting it into its compact form into his bag. He walked to Flamedramon who de-Digivolved to V-mon slapping his palms together. "That was fun. Perhaps we should do this some other time." Davis said. "You're an adrenaline junkie, you know that?" V-mon said. "And you're not?" Davis shot back. "Touché," V-mon said. "Let's find the others; they should have destroyed the control spire by now." Davis said walking towards the control spire his cloak billowing in the breeze.

The two of them walked to the control spire and reached it just in time to see it destroyed by Halsemon, Pegasusmon, and Nefertimon with their partners on their backs. Davis started to run towards them shouting, "Hey guys, the Frigimon are all freed from the dark rings!" The Digimon landed on the ground and their partners jumped off. "Where are Joe and Cody?" He asked. Kari explained that Cody had fallen into a river and Joe had stayed with him to make sure he was ok and that the rest of them went to destroy the control spire.

Shortly after Kari finished telling Davis what had happened Joe, Cody, Armadillomon and Gomamon. The group regrouped, recounted their tales (with Davis' story being heavily edited) and headed back to the TV that would take them back to the human world. Gomamon had decided to stay behind to prevent the emperor from taking over again.

"Well Gomamon, I guess this is good-bye for now. Make sure you look after this place." Joe said as they were about to leave. "Just what I always wanted, a frozen wasteland." Gomamon joked. "Maybe you can use that time to work on your knock-knock jokes," Joe playfully said. With that said the group left the Digital world and after exchanging good-byes, went home.

In a shadowy room, the wannabe-emperor was cursing the Digidestined for destroying another of his control spire.

Chapter end

That is the end of that chapter. This took a little longer than I wanted and the ending is a little rushed but I could not think of a better way to end the chapter than the actual ending from the TV show. You may notice that this chapter had a lot of text from the show. That was mainly because I could not think of a way to do this episode much differently than the original. That and I had to put Grandpa Hida in there somewhere.

I added a poll on my account. The question is "Should Davis find some of the spirits of the legendary warriors from Digimon Frontier? If so choose which spirit you think Davis should find first and if not just select no. The choices are flame, water, earth, wind, thunder, light, darkness, ice, steel, wood or none. This poll is going to be up until Friday the 13th, which should be around time I can write the chapter that is about the events of the episode "Guardian Angel". This is so I can figure out if or how I can add the warriors to my story.

Next chapter will take place on the Monday during the Japanese Golden week which starts on Thursday, the 29th of April in my story. It will be the "Family Picnic" episode so now you know why I started taking about dates in a Japanese school year. I hope you enjoyed my story. Please send a review on how you enjoyed it or any improvements that you can think about.
