Chapter 6: Battle in the Holy City

Ken panted as he created a shield. There were just too many. There seemed to be more and more shadow creatures with every passing minute. A lot of Ophanimon forces were too badly hurt to continue. Ken shielded an injured digimon as he helped those who needed to retreat into the castle within the protective shield.

"Guardian!" Ken glanced at Sorcerimon as he flew down to him after defeating five shadow creatures.

"What is it?" Ken asked when Sorcerimon landed next to him.

"Lord Miracles just send word that he is sending reinforcements." Ken nodded in gratitude. It was about time his boyfriend sent help. He would have asked earlier but he didn't have his D-3 and D-Terminal. "He needs your permission though." Ken frowned at this.

"Permission? Who is he sending?"

"The Winx Club, Guardian."

Tecna raised an eyebrow in frustration. She had managed to turn Ken's computer on and managed to connect Ken's D-3 to her computer, but she couldn't get into it. There was so much encryption in a unknown language that she couldn't figure it out. It was as if something was preventing her to get through or read it.

"Anything Tecna?" Bloom asked.

"No, this coding is very complex." She sighed. "It's as if something is preventing me from accessing the data I need."

"That's not surprising," Wormmon told her from his place on the computer table. "The Digital World has very high security that makes sure only people it allows to enter enters. It prevents outsiders from getting in."

"How is that supposed to help us then?" Stella asked, just as frustrated.

"Maybe I can help."

Bloom and the others jumped at the voice coming from Ken's computer. On the screen was the same boy they saw yesterday, the same boy that Roxy and Bloom talked to the night before.

"Daisuke!" Bloom smiled at Ken's digimon. "Where's Ken-chan? He's in danger!"

"I know," Daisuke said with a frown. "Shadow creatures are attacking the Holy City." The Winx and Roxy had worried expressions on their faces as Wormmon's eyes widened in worry.

"What? Again? Is that where Ken-chan is?"

"Yup," Daisuke confirmed.

"Can you help us get to the Digital World? Ken needs our help," Roxy asked her cousin's friend.

"You need permission to get into the Digital World."

"So give us permission than," Stella huffed.

"I'm not the one that gives permission."

"So you can't help us?" Roxy asked crestfallenly.

"I didn't say that," Daisuke said with a sigh. "You have to understand that there are higher powers in the Digital World. Lucky for you I already send word to Ken-chan to allow you entrance."

"But how can Ken give us entrance?" Roxy asked confused. "He's in the Digital World."

"Don't forget that Ken is the one in danger here," Aisha reminded them.

"Winx, one thing you must understand is that Ken is the Digital World's Guardian Faerie. He is in tune with the Higher Powers and is more connected to the Digital World than the Holy Beasts are. There are only two beings who can allow you to enter the Digital World and that is Ken and the Will of the Digital World."

"Okay," Musa breathed. "How will we get to the Digital World once Ken gives us the okay? Don't we need these D-3's?" She asked as she lifted up Ken's D-3.

Daisuke smiled at them as he gave them a thoughtful look. "Yes, you're right. When Ken accepts my request, you all will get D-3's. They will come out from the computer. Once you have them the portal will open."

"Really?" Stella asked. "That seems really simple."

"It's not, believe me," Daisuke chuckled.

"What you mean?" Flora asked. Daisuke shook his head.

"You'll see. See you on the other side!" Was the last thing Daisuke told them before the message disconnected.

"The Winx?" Ken repeated. He should have known.

"Yes, Guardian. Do you know them?"

"The Winx are a group of powerful faeries, like myself. They are actually my guest from America. One of them is my cousin."

"Really?" Sorcerimon asked. "If they are just as powerful as you are those shadow creatures might not stand a chance, Guardian."

Ken nodded as he glanced at the roaring battle. They could use the help. A lot of the digimon were getting hurt by the shadow creatures. Ken was doing his best to help them get to safety. Protecting the city was top priority.

"Sorcerimon, can you guard me for a quick second?"

"Of course." Sorcermon got in front of him and created an illusion to buy him some time. Ken closed his eyes as he opened the link to the source. He could feel the Will of the Digital World approval of the new Chosen, wanting to know his thoughts on the matter. He could sense who these new energy signatures belonged to. He and the Entity felt them trying to enter without permission and then stop in confusion. They shook their heads mentally at that. With a smile Ken gave his permission, allowing six D-3s and six eggs to leave the Digital World.

Roxy was slightly confused from what Daisuke said. What did he mean that they will see and that he'll see them on the other side? She frowned at the fact that Ken had to give them permission. Well, at least now she knows what he is the Guardian Faerie of.

"Umm…what's going on with the computer?" Roxy blinks at Musa's question. Roxy looks at the computer and notices that a screen popped up with a forest image on it. She frowns at the weird writing.

"Is that the Digital World?" Bloom asked Wormmon.

"Yes, that's the Forest Sector of Server. Ken must have granted Daisuke request for you to enter."

"Okay, but I don't see how we can get into the Digital World," Tecna said as she studied the portal. "It looks like it's still closed."

"Are you serious?" Stella yells. "How are we suppose to get to the Digital World-" Stella stopped mid-sentence when Ken's computer screen began to glow brightly. "What's going on?" Stella asked panicky as she and the rest of the Winx (minus Roxy) stepped away from the glowing computer. No one got to answer, even if they knew what on earth was going on, since six colorful lights came out of the computer and landed in their hands. When the light faded they all gasped as the lights turned out to be D-3's. But what was really a shocker was the six eggs on the ground in front of them.

Roxy was the first to get out of her shock. She studied the device in her hand. The device looked exactly like Ken's D-3. However, hers was green and white. She glanced at Wormmon, who was smiling as he made his way down to the egg in front of her.

She looked at it curiously as he gestured for her to pick it up. She hesitated for a moment before complying. And boy was she surprised. When she touched the egg it glowed and was replaced with a small creature. Roxy studied the creature with wide eyes. The creature had a small round body with orange fur. It had a spike on top of its body. Red eyes started at her with excitement.

"Hello, Roxy. I'm Tunomon. I'm your digimon," he told her as he jumped into her arms. Now she knew what Ken felt like to have Wormmon in his arms all the time. The little guy was adorable and looked like a toy too.

Roxy looked at the Winx to see that they all followed her lead and touched the eggs as well. Bloom had a blue D-3 and in her arms was small creature with purple and white fur. It had pointy ears, four stubbly legs, orange eyes and a small tail.

"Hello, milady. My name is Dorimon. It's very nice to meet you."

"I'm Bloom. It's very nice to meet you too."

Stella had orange D-3. Stella was currently squealing over a small yellow fox.

"Hi, Stella! I'm Pokomon!"

"Oh, you're so cute!"

Flora had a pink D-3 and it wasn't surprising that she had a plant digimon in her arms. The little creature looked like a green ball with thorns and has a leaf as her tail.

"I'm Budmon. It's very nice to meet you Flora."

"It's very nice to meet you."

Musa had a red D-3 and her digimon was a small white creature with white fur and black eyes.

"Hi, Musa! I'm your digimon, YukimiBotamon."

"Hi!"

Tecna's D-3 was purple and her digimon has fur and white fur, brown eyes, and wears a helmet with horns on it's head.

"I'm Caprimon, Tecna. It's a pleasure to finally meet you."

"Likewise."

Aisha's D-3 was a lime green. Her digimon was some type of grey sea creature with dark blue eyes and orange hair (at least Roxy thinks it hair) on top of his head.

"Why, hello little guy. I'm Aisha. What's yours?"

"I'm Pukamon."

"Wow this is amazing," Bloom breathed. "I'm guess this is how we get to the Digital World?"

"That's right!" All the digimon said.

"Raise your D-3's to the portal," Pokomon told them.

"And say Digital Gate Open," Dorimon added.

"The gate will open and we will be taken to Lord Miracles's location," Pukamon piped in as his partner held him.

"We must hurry too!" Caprimon squeaks from Tenca's lap. "Our Guardian needs our help like yesterday."

"Okay! Okay! Calm down, will ya?" Stella tells the six baby digimon.

"There's no time to lose." Roxy grabs both Tsunomon and Wormmon, and stands in front of the the computer with her D-3. Hang on just a little longer, Ken. "Digital Gate Open!" The red light on the portal turn green and both Roxy's D-3 and the portal glows brightly. I'm coming, was the last thing she thought before she was sucked in.

Daisuke sat on XV-mon's shoulder as he waited for the Winx. He had seen the lights of the digivice when they went through the portal. He smiled to himself as he thought about last night. Ken was beautiful and amazing last night. He still couldn't believe that Ken let him tie his wrist together while they were making love. Though it was worth seeing the pleasure on Ken's face as he teased him and made him come in different positions. Though if anyone asked, his favorite one was when Ken was riding him. Though he was a bit worried about the make up of faeries. He wondered about what insight that his mother told him about faeries genetics and life style are actually true. He hoped she was kidding about male faeries being able to get pregnant.

Daisuke was snapped out of his thought when the TV began to glow. Daisuke smiled in amusement as Roxy and the Winx come out of the portal with looks of awe on their faces. There was a good amount of different digimon as well. Well, things just got interesting. I wonder if Ken already knew about this?

"Welcome Winx, Roxy, and digimon." They all turned to him. "I told you I will see you on the other side."

Everything was going according to plan. There was no way the Light Core would be able to hold out much longer. He was getting weaker with the more dark energy he bought into the Digital World. The fool didn't ever know that Light, Hope, Sincerity/Love, and Reliability/Knowledge had been trapped and replaced by their corrupted selves.

It was simply glories! The death. The fear. The lack of light. It would only be a matter of time before the Light Core is his. Once that happens there will be only Darkness. Darkness and Chaos.

He was interrupt from his mad laughter when an alarm went off, signaling that new humans have entered the Digital World. He frowned as he typed on the computer to see where the signals were coming from.

He scoffs when he realizes that the stupid Child of Miracles was there. And he had friends. Hmm, maybe he can work with this. Oh, this was going to be fun.
