Chapter 4
Davis and Tai were both staring at a herd of Centaurmon dressed completely in black armor marching around a tall, Dark Tower. Red eyes were staring out from blackened, white-flecked helmets. Tai took note that the black armor was flecked with white.
"Don't say anything," Debby whispered, nodding towards the Centaurmon.
"WHAT?!" Davis yelled, trying to annoy Debby.
At this, all the Centaurmon stopped, and turned their heads slowly towards Davis.
"Um, hi?" Davis said, slightly waving.
The Centaurmon suddenly began charging towards them, drawing bows and arrows. At this, Debby slapped Davis, and ran off with her digivice in hand. Davis ran off after her, Veemon close at his heels.
"Where's your digimon?" he shouted after her, watching her run off into a cave. He followed her inside, staring in amazement at the eleven digimon in the cave. He just stared at Tsunamimon, Kittenmon, Renamon, Perromon, Taigamon, Falconmon, Cubmon, Harpermon, Springmon, Starmon, and Cheatmon.
"Hey, Taigamon, you ready to digivolve?" Debby questioned, showing her the digivice.
"Yeah!" Taigamon exclaimed, jumping up into the air.
Taigamon was a small, icy blue colored dragon, with small, dark blue slashes on her body. Davis was slightly confused, but he just watched the small rookie leveled digimon.
"Taigamon digivolve to Tundramon!"
Tundramon arched her neck, and stretched out her icy blue wings, her icy blue body speckled with dark blue, her dark blue eyes filled with excitement.
"Okay everyone, follow me!" Debby said, mostly Rookies with two Champions following her out of the cave and back towards the group. Davis and Veemon followed her out, but Davis stopped short of the area were the newly formed group was, and looked at Veemon.
"Ready?" He asked, pulling out his digivice, looking toward Veemon.
"Yeah!" Veemon shouted, pumping his fist into the air.
"Veemon armor digivolve to Raidramon!"
Raidramon's black armor shone in the sunlight, bolts of lightning streaked across his armor. Davis jumped on his back, pulling his goggles on over his eyes.
"Let's go!" Davis shouted, Raidramon taking off.
Kit and Tai were teaming up, Tai having Agumon digivolve to Wargreymon, and Kit having Tsunamimon digivolve to Wardracomon. Matt and Katie were using Metalgarurumon to distract some of the Centaurmon, while Metaltigermon would run up behind them, and pounce on them, using her Electric Bite on their backs, causing them to disappear.
Tai and Kit were each on their own digimon's back, barreling into the black-covered herd of Centaurmon. Wardracomon flew overhead, drowning many in a Tsunami Wave, Wargreymon running in and attacking about five Centaurmon at a time.
A.J., Kevin, T.K., and Kari were all armor digivolving their digimon. Perromon armor digivolved into Wereperromon, Patamon armor digivolved into Pegasusmon, Renamon armor digivolved into Terramon, and Gatomon armor digivolved into Nefertimon. T.K. and Kevin went towards the Dark Tower via air, and A.J. and Kari went towards the tower via land.
It seemed as if they were all clearing out a path, to try to get someone to the tower. And that someone would have been Megaflashmon. Izzy had jumped on Megaflashmon with Ash, insisting that Megakabuterimon could handle himself.
Man, and I thought Flashmon was fast! Izzy thought to himself. It was almost as if they had managed to stop time - like they were invisible. No one had attacked them.
Debby had allowed Tundramon to armor digivolve to Pyromon, who had immediately charged in. Her body was covered in flames, and barreling through her enemies caused them to catch fire.
Up above all their enemies, T.K. and Kevin cheered Debby and Pyromon on, watching multiple enemies burn in Pyromon's fiery path. While they were distracted, a blanket of arrows flew up, some managing to pierce the wings of Wereperromon and Pegasusmon. They swiftly plummeted down, managing to land on their feet.
Unfortunately, they had landed amidst a large group of Centaurmon. T.K. and Kevin braced themselves, awaiting the onslaught of arrows. Suddenly, they heard a terrible screech from above.
"Duck!" Kevin shouted out. Pegasusmon had only just laid down when a large talon swept up two of the enemies and dropped them into a lake, where Jodi and Tuskmon swiftly defeated them. T.K. looked up again, and saw the large eagle that had helped them swoop down for a second attack. He noticed that its feathers were a shade of brown, with some flecks of gold mixed in.
"Steel talons!" Eaglemon cried out, ripping through the armor of several Centaurmon. Casey waved energetically to Kevin and T.K., then rose up to continue the fight.
"Pegasusmon, do you think you can still fly?" T.K. asked, trying to mask his concern.
"I can try to. What about you, Wereperromon?"
Wereperromon dismally looked at his shredded wings. "No, there are too many holes."
Kevin smiled at her comfortingly. "It's alright, Wereperromon. We can ask Novamon and Aaron to give us a lift."
T.K. nodded and jumped onto Pegasusmon, careful to avoid his injuries. As soon as he took off, another horse landed. This new horse looked similar to Pegasusmon, except that it appeared to be mostly composed of light. And yet, Aaron was sitting atop of it. T.K. watched as Wereperromon reverted back to Perromon, and he and Kevin joined Aaron atop the horse. Assuming this was Novamon, he regained his focus and urged Pegasusmon to fly faster.
Meanwhile, in the lake, Sam, Joe, Jodi, and Cody were fighting a more discrete battle. Sam was atop Streakmon, who was a black dog with a red streak running down his chest. His feet was webbed and his tail flat, resembling a rudder. Joe, who was on Ikkakuumon, fought alongside Jodi and Sharkmon. Cody, meanwhile, was within the confines of Submarimon under the water. Their strategy was simple: Sora and Phoenixmon would lure groups of Centaurmon to the edge of the lake, where Sam would use Streakmon's Whirlpool Blast to blast away pieces of armor. Joe and Ikkakuumon would attack them from behind, knocking them into the water. Once in the lake, the Centaurmon would fall victim to Sharkmon's Razor Bite and Submarimon's Oxygen Torpedoes.
Marcus and Mimi, meanwhile, were fighting their own battle. During the confusion, they had been separated from the rest of the group. They now found themselves among twenty angry Centaurmon, and they had no backup. None the less, they weren't going down without a fight.
"Hit 'em with all ya got, Togemon!" Mimi exclaimed.
"Needle Spray!" the large cactus exclaimed in response. Glowing needles spread outward from her body, being driven into the armor of five of the Centaurmon.
"Not bad, Mimi. I can do better though." Marcus said arrogantly. He nodded to Powermon, who understood what Marcus wanted him to do.
"Power Surge!" he cried as he stomped the ground. From his foot came an enormous wave of energy. This wave spread quickly throughout the ground, electrocuting the remaining Centaurmon. Mimi and Togemon looked on in shock, while Marcus had a prideful look.
"Told ya!" he said smugly. Mimi reprimanded him for bragging, and they ran to the rest of the group.
Ash and Izzy were still running around the Dark Tower, Megaflashmon still circling the tall tower.
"Wolf Bite!" Megaflashmon screamed out, taking another chunk out of the Dark Tower. The Dark Tower could take one more hit, then it would be history.
"One last time, Megaflashmon!" Ash yelled out enthusiastically, trying to urge her on.
Megaflashmon growled, and screamed out "Wolf Bite!" one last time, taking the last chunk out of it.
The Dark tower began to fall towards the ground. Centaurmon all began running away from the tower, and once their friends realized what was happening, they quickly moved out of the way. The tower came down with a loud Crash!, and was soon no more. Centaurmon all around began losing whatever dark armor was still on them, and began looking around in confusion. Megakabuterimon flew towards Izzy, who had jumped off of Megaflashmon at the sight of him. Tai and Kit were both laughing, Matt and Katie were exchanging congratulations, and the others were all giving out high-fives. They had easily overcome the first Dark Tower as a team. From the looks of things, life in the Digital World was going to be a lot easier.
//Somewhere in the Digital World\\
"Clawmon, did you bring the other D.E. like I asked you to?"
A girl sat in a black, purple accented chair, her hands resting at the ends of the chair arms. She wore a black shirt, the right sleeve going all the way down her arm, the left sleeve going down to about the middle of the left arm. Blue jeans were large and baggy, a black, studded belt around her wait. She wore black, cut off gloves on both hands. Her black hair was accented with purple highlights and streaks, matching her purple eyes.
"Erm, well, I tried, but he said he'd come when he felt like it," Clawmon said, tucking her tail between her legs.
The girl just sat in her chair, and then stood up. Her hair flowed down to her waist, a little bit of a purple cloak showing in the darkness. She picked up some glasses from a desk, cutting of a screen that had been black and buzzed with static - a camera must have been destroyed somewhere. She silently put the glasses on, and smirked.
"Well, looks like we'll just have to go find Mr. Ex-D.E., doesn't it?"She laughed, walking out of the room, Clawmon close behind. She disappeared into the light.

A/N : Well, for those of you who can't catch on to what a D.E. is, it's a Digimon Emperor, or a Digimon Empress in our case. We didn't feel like typing it out every time, so, we abbreviated it. - Don't worry, with the way we were typing for a week, we should have about ten chapters Man, talk about too much free time.
