Disclaimer: I do not own digimon
"What do you mean Mary," Tai asked, "I thought you said you didn't remember anything and do you mean the host's face."
Not paying any attention to what Tai just said, "If I ever get near Lord Holy Angemon again," Mary hissed, "I'll rip out his heart and shove it down his throat and I hope he suffers for what he did."
"What did he do?" Agumon asked.
"I don't remember," Mary said, "But it was bad and I wanted to stop him so I did something. I can't remember more than that."
"I'm not going to let him make us play this game," Tai said rubbing Mary's head, "And with you here it will be that much easier."
"How are you going to keep that from happening," Mary asked, "From what Lord Holy Angemon said is that anyone who refuses to fight or attacks him is turned into a digimon and taken away."
"Oh we'll figure out a way to stop him," Tai said, "And the one he's working for."
Meanwhile in another location somewhere in the digital world we find Yolie and Cody in an arena similar to the one back at Lord Holy Angemon's palace, "Where are we," Yolie asked, "And why are we here?"
"I brought you here to fight each other," the host said with Knightmon standing next to him, "If you haven't started fighting with in fifteen minutes then you'll not be seeing any of your friends for a long time."
"I won't fight for someone else's amusement," Yolie snapped, "The only reasons I fight is to protect my friends and the digital world."
"I also refuse to fight," Cody said, "What's the worst you can do, seal us away in another dimension or something."
"That does sound like a good idea," Lord Holy Angemon said, "But there are bigger things planned for the four of you and there are only ten minutes left for you to start fighting or else."
"We already told you that we're not fighting for others amusement," Yolie growled, "Aquilamon attack those two now," she yelled.
"Ankylomon give Aquilamon a hand," Cody said.
"Fine if you two insist," the host said, "Then I have no other choice but to take you to the place where others who refuse to fight end up," he then snapped his finger causing both Aquilamon and Ankylomon to de-digivolve to their in-training forms.
"What?" Yolie yelled, "That's just not possible."
"Oh anything is possible with the powers I have been given," Lord Holy Angemon said, "Actually I think they should be in their rookie forms for what is going to happen next," he said using the same power to cause them to digi-volve into their rookie forms.
'What is this digimon doing,' Cody thought, 'Is he insane or something.'
"What are you insane or something," Yolie yelled, "Only someone who's insane would de-digivolve then digivolve the enemy's digimon."
"I'm perfectly sane," Lord Holy Angemon said, "It's just with them in their in-training forms there is nowhere I can put these on them," he said as metal collars wrapped around all four of their necks.
"What the hell are these for," Yolie said trying to get the collar off her neck, "Is this what you are planning to do, then you are insane."
"Oh I'm not finished yet," Lord Holy Angem said, "In a few moments you two humans won't even recognize yourselves," he then snapped his fingers again.
"And why is that," Yolie asked, "What the hell, why is everything getting bigger?" she asked. "Wait I'm shrinking," she yelled when her clothes started feeling really baggy, "What are you mmphff mpf mpphf," she started to say but couldn't finish as her teeth started pushing out into a beak like Hawkmon's.
"Why are you doing this to us," Cody asked defiantly, "We have done nothing to you."
"That may be true," Lord Holy Angemon said, "But this is the only way to get you and all of the Digi-destined out of our way. Don't worry you'll be done changing soon and then the full affect of the collars will kick in," he said laughing, "You will know what's going on, you just won't be able to control yourselves with the collars on."
"Your brains must be long gone," Yolie yelled as she pointed her newly deformed arm at the host.
"I still have it," Lord Holy Angemon said, "And I would like for you to stop pointing at me."
Yolie fought her arm to keep it up. As her arm got shorter and became more wing-like, Yolie found it harder to control her arm until she no longer had control over it.
"Good," the host said, "Now bow to me." He watched as the four digimon did there best to bow. "Good, shed the human clothes." As the two did as they were order, the host stopped recording, "Now onto the next pair and you two dispose of those piles of clothes, but not the digivices," he said to the digimon who were recording all of it.
Meanwhile with TK and Ken, "Where are we," Ken asked, "There is no possible way that Knightmon should have been able to use the attacks he did on us."
"That Knightmon was no ordinary digimon," TK said, "We have to get out of here and try to find the others, because more then likely they were also caught by Knightmon."
"How did you get Pegasusmon to digivolve to Hippogryphomon," Ken asked, "I thought Patamon's Ultimate form was MagnaAngemon?"
"It is," Hippogryphomon said, "Least when I digivolve to Angemon, I guess my digivolution tree is different when I'm Pegasusmon."
"So the two Digi-destined wants to know where they are," Lord Holy Angemon said mockingly, "I had you brought here to fight each other."
"What?" TK and Ken yelled, "We will not fight each other."
"Oh I think you will change your minds after seeing this," Lord Holy Angemon then made the motion that told his digimon to start the video feed of what he did to Yolie and Cody, "If you still refuse after watching what happened to your friends then you'll end up with the same fate."
Ken, TK and their digimon watched the video on the screen and were shocked by what they saw, "That's impossible," TK yelled, "You had to have altered that video somehow."
"Oh it's very real," Lord Holy Angemon said, "I'll even give you a front seat view of how real it is," he then snapped his fingers turning TK into a Patamon. "See how very real it is," he said snapping his fingers returning TK to normal, "That will be both of your fate if you refuse to fight, but the one who looses the fight becomes partnered with the winner."
"So you're saying that if neither of us fight," Ken said, "Both of us will end up as digimon, but even if we do the looser becomes a digimon anyways."
"That's about it," Lord Holy Angemon said, "The only difference is that the looser of this fight nor the digimon will end up having to wear collars unless they refuse to listen to the one they become partnered too."
"That is fucked up," TK said, "No matter what we do one of us will end up as a digimon."
"TK we don't have a choice," Ken said, "We have to fight if we want to be able to save our friends."
"My, my, my," Lord Holy Angemon said, "The bearer of hope does have a nasty attitude, that could come in useful later on."
"I don't want to loose Patamon again," TK said in a whisper to Ken, "I nearly lost him once and I'm not going to loose him ever again."
"I know how you feel," Ken whispered back, "But our friends need us to save them, so we have to fight."
"So have you two made up your minds yet," Lord Holy Angemon said, "Or do I just turn you both into digimon like your other friends."
"We'll fight," Ken and TK said solemnly, "But only because our friends need us."
'Hmm, how can I make this fight even,' Lord Holy Angemon thought, 'I know, I'll force HippoGryphomon to slide-digivolve to MagnaAngemon and take the digi-egg of hope that he used to digi-volve to that form,' he then said, "Alright, but first let me make this fight a little more even," he then sent a beam from a device in his hand that engulfed HippoGryphomon.
"What are you doing," TK yelled, "How is attacking my digimon making our fight even?"
"This is how," Lord Holy Angemon said as the light started dissipating and TK watched as his digi-egg of hope flew over into the hosts hand, "With out this you can't have him digivolve past champion."
"Hey that's mine," TK yelled, "Give that back, you have no right taking it," he then glanced at where HippoGryphomon was to see Angemon in his place.
"What happened," Angemon asked confused, "How did I become Angemon when I was just HippoGryphomon?"
"I removed the digi-egg of hope from your body," the host said, "The way I did it forced you into your normal ultimate form which the beam forced you to de-digivolve from and has temporarily locked it out for this entire fight." He then turned to TK, "Oh don't worry you will get this back after the fight," he said, "Unless you lose then it goes to Ken."
"Give us a moment," TK said.
"You may," Lord Holy Angemon said, "But if one of you takes a dive then you both lose."
Ken and TK walk to each other. "What do you think?" TK asked.
"We can't help Cody and Yolie if we're also digimon," Ken said, "Wormmon digivolve."
Lord Holy Angemon smiled, "The fight will start now. To make it better I'm going to have it in a maze with the humans standing over it to tell there partners where the other is."
Before Ken and TK could say anything the ground they were standing on opened up and swallowed them and their partners. A few moments later they both appear with their digimon on opposite sides of the arena with the maze already made, "What's going on," TK said, "I thought you wanted us to fight."
"Oh you are going to fight," the host said, "I just like to make the fights more interesting, and do be careful about giving your digimon directions because there are traps every now and then."
"What that's messed up," Ken yelled from the opposite side of the maze, "So you're saying if were not careful our digimon could get weakened before we even fight."
"Yes and no," the host said, "Some will affect your digimon while others will affect the two of you."
Both TK and Ken then were raised up on podiums high enough to over look the entire maze, TK then noticed a headset right next to him, "What's this for?"
"How else do you think you will be able to communicate with your digimon with how high up you are," Lord Holy Angemon said, "Your digimon partner has one too, which is set to a different frequency from the one Ken and his partner has. Now just start the fight and stop asking question," he said starting to get annoyed.
TK walks over to the headset and grabs it and puts it on as he said, "Angemon start going into the maze."
"Alright," Angemon said walking into maze, as he walks into the maze a wall appeared where the entrance had been, 'Looks like I can't get out of here using the way I came in,' he thought.
"Angemon when you get to the fork ahead go right," TK said into the mic attached to his headphones, "Follow it till you come to a left."
"Ok I understand," Angemon said speaking into his own headset, 'This would be a lot faster if I were to fly above the ground,' he thought as he started to rise above the floor, the moment his feet reached five feet into the air the part of the maze he was in filled with electricity and starts shocking him, causing him to yell in pain as well as Stingmon on the other side of the maze who had the same idea. When they hit the ground the electricity suddenly stopped.
"Oh I must have forgotten to mention that the maze is designed to shock you," Lord Holy Angemon said with an evil grin on his face, "If you go above five feet higher then the ground or if both of your feet leave the ground for more then thirty seconds at a time. Each time you get shocked the voltage is doubled from what it was the previous time, it was only about three thousand vaults that time."
"Stingmon turn left and Angemon will be there," Ken said.
Angemon blocked Stingmon's fist. Then the bug digimon kicked. Angemon was knocked back. Angemon rush at Stingmon only to hit a wall.
"The maze has changed," TK said, "Walk to the end of the hall and go left."
Angemon followed the directions TK gave him only to have that part of the maze to become a dead end at the last second, "Damn it," Angemon said punching the wall and not noticing the trap he hit, "This is getting annoying and ridiculous, if I ever get my hands on that..." he started to say but stopped as his voice started to sound more like the voice of his female counterpart champion form.
TK just stared in shock as he watched his partner Angemon slowly shrink and became a Gatomon, when he finally was able to form words again, "What the fuck," he asked confused, "There is no possible way that this could happen."
"Hmm, what was that human saying I have heard so often," Lord Holy Angemon said, "Oh yes, anything is possible if you put your mind to it."
Both TK and Gatomon(Angemon) glared at Lord Holy Angemon, "When I get my hands on you," Gatomon yelled, "You'll be wishing that you never caught us."
"So what is the little kitty planning to do," Lord Holy Angemon said in a taunting tone, "Use me as a scratching post or hack up a hairball in my face," and started laughing.
"You're going to pay for this," Gatomon hissed as she flexes her claws, "By the time I'm done with you there won't be enough of you left to fill a shoe box."
"Calm down partner," TK said into his part of the communications device for him and Angemon, "As you told me with Knightmon, he's just trying to make us mad so we don't think straight."
"You're right TK," Gatomon said taking a deep breath to calm herself, "But this is just weird."
Meanwhile Ken is telling Stingmon, "Be on your guard Stingmon," he said, "Anything can happen and I don't want to loose you ever again."
"I'm on my guard," Stingmon said, "There's Angemon, Spiking strike," he yelled heading towards what he thought was Angemon.
"What are you talking about I don't see Angemon," Ken's eyes then widened when he saw Stingmon heading for what looks like a vortex of some kind, "Stingmon wait that isn't Angemon," he yelled but was too late as he went flying into the vortex. "Stingmon are you there," Ken asked worried, "Stingmon please answer me, this isn't funny."
A few moments later a figure comes flying out of the vortex and was sent into a wall causing dust to fill the entire area, "Owe my aching head."
"Stingmon are you ok," Ken asked, "Why did you go flying into that vortex."
"Vortex," the voice of a Gekomon asked, "What are you talking about, what I saw was Angemon getting ready to use his hand of fate attack on me."
"You're not Stingmon," Ken said, "What did you do with him Gekomon," he asked getting angry.
"What are you talking about I am Stingmon," Stingmon then looked at himself and yelled, "What the hell, how did I become a Gekomon?"
"What did you do with Stingmon," Ken asked the Gekomon again.
"Ken, Ken, Ken," Lord Holy Angemon said, "I'm surprised you don't believe him with how you used your powers as the digimon emperor to change the champion forms of digimon. Unlike you I used all the possibilities of what Stingmon could have been in his rookie form and then changed him into that digimon's most common champion form."
"Agemon...Gatomon," TK said, "Partner, it is going to be harder. He changed Stingmon as well I can't see him in the maze."
"Then I'll hide and wait for him to come to me," Gatomon said.
"No matter what form your in we need to get Angemon and win," Ken said
"Right," Gekomon(Stingmon) said, "If only I knew how to use this body attacks."
A little farther down the maze a feline watches from the shadows as a gekomon walks closer to her.
"This isn't good," Ken said, "I can't see Angemon anywhere in the maze or any other kind of digimon."
"Well he has to be here somewhere," Gekomon said, "It's not like the host would do anything to him."
"Uh Stingmon, I mean Gekomon," Ken said, "I think you should rephrase what you just said."
A sweat drop then formed behind Gekomon's head, "Oh right," he said, "I guess I have to be prepared for anything."
Gatomon still waited until Gekomon was about three feet in front of her, "Lightning paw," she yelled jumping out of the shadows and at Gekomon hitting him in the face with the attack and sending him flying into the wall next to them. "Dash punch," she yelled attacking him again only for Gekomon to leap out of the way.
"Tongue attack," Gekomon yelled stopping Gatomon's attack and wrapping his tongue around her body.
"This is disgusting," Gatomon said trying to get free from the tongue wrapped around her.
"Kithy all tiedth upth," Gekomon said mockingly while his tongue is still wrapped around her.
"It isn't bad enough that I have become a Gatomon," Gatomon said, "But know I have to listen to Gekomon talk while his mouth is full," she said annoyed. "While also being tied in that Gekomon's tongue."
"Awe poor little kithy wanths go," Gekomon said and then started twirling Gatomon over his head for a few moments then stopped to look her in the face.
"Big mistake Gekomon," Gatomon said growling, "Cat's Eye Hypnotism," she whispered while looking straight into his eyes hypnotizing him. "First thing you're going to do is let me go," she said, "And second, hmm you are going to go start banging your head into that wall behind you."
"Yes maam," Gekomon said in a dazed voice as he started removing his tongue from Gatomon's body.
"Smart thinking," TK said, "Attack him when he turns around and before the affects of your attack wears off."
"Got it," Gatomon said and waited for Gekomon to turn around, but as she was getting ready to attack she realized she could barely move, "What the hell," she said, "Why can't I move?" Gatomon then remembered hearing that if enough of a Gekomon's saliva gets on someone it can temporarily paralyze them, "Fuck I guess what I heard is true," she said.
"What do you mean," TK asked, "And why haven't you attacked Gekomon yet?"
"I would if I could TK," Gatomon said, "But the saliva from Gekomon has temporarily paralyzed me, I can still move but barely."
Gatomon struggle to move her body, slowly she was able to move her paw. When Gatomon fully recovered, she turned to see Gekomon charging at her. Gatomon swung her paw around to hit Gekomon's head.
"Is that the best you can do?" Gekomon said. He punched the feline digimon away. "Ken did a study on some digimon. Do you want to know what he found out? Gatomon's may be fast and have agility; their attacks are about normal. But more important is that they are weak in defense and can't take hits as well as others."
"Then I need to make sure that you can't hit me," Gatomon said before she runs off.
The host smiled as he watches the fight. 'I must be one of the smartest digimon ever,' he thought, 'Two flying digimon aren't good in this maze and then making one fast and the other stronger is even better.' He turned to TK and then Ken. 'And one human is much smarter than the other but,' he turn back to TK, 'The other has been fighting with his partner longer.'
"Don't worry partner," TK said, "We just got to figure out his weakness and use it against him."
"Enough for you to say when you're not the one having to fight," Gatomon said, "But I already have something planned, I noticed what looked like a trap earlier and I'm going to try and lead Gekomon into it," she whispered.
"That's a good idea," TK said, "But I'm wondering if that will affect Gekomon or not."
"Why do you say that," Gatomon asked.
"Remember the host said that some of the traps would affect you and Stingmon err I mean Gekomon," TK said, "And the others would affect me and Ken."
"Well any advantage we get is a good one I guess," Gatomon said, "But then who knows, and it's already too late for me to do something different because I've already passed the area with the trap. So if it does effect Ken let me know what happens."
"I never thought you would say something like that partner," TK said, "Maybe the change affected your mind a little too."
"So what if it did," Gatomon said, "Every time I digivolve from Patamon to Angemon I think differently afterwards. It's a digimon thing you probably wouldn't understand, no offense meant."
"None taken," TK said, "But unless we defeat Ken I will end up understanding what you mean."
"Good point," Gatomon said turning her head around and grinned as she saw Gekomon a few feet from the spot the trap is, "We'll know if it affects Gekomon or Ken in a moment or two."
"You can't out run me forever," Gekomon yelled chasing after Gatomon not noticing the trap she is leading him into.
"I can at least try to," Gatomon said, "Lightning paw," she yelled sending her attack towards Gekomon.
"Nice try but you missed," Gekomon said as he leaped out of the way of the attack.
"That's what you think," Gatomon said as the floor that Gekomon landed on started to lower.
'Oh shit this isn't good,' Gekomon thought as he waited for what was supposed to happen.
While above the maze TK was preoccupied as he watched a light surround Ken right after Gekomon landed on the trap Gatomon had led him into.
"Huh what's going on," Ken said as the light started to surround him, "I can't believe I let Stingmon fall for that," he then started to feel strange. He watched as his arms slowly became covered by a light coat of fur, 'Uh this isn't good,' he thought to himself. As the fur slowly started covering the rest of his body he started to realize it was slowly getting harder for him to stand straight up, he grimaced as he heard popping noises or more likely felt them in his back as he was forced into a more quadruped form. Ken then yelled/yelped in surprise as his face started pushing out into a muzzle and felt his ears moving to the top of his head, 'Not good, this is not good,' he thought starting to slightly panic from what was happening to him. His head then shot around to stare at his backside as he felt pressure in his back and watched as a tail ripped a hole in the back of his jeans and became that of a wolves, he then felt some more cracks and pops in his back finally forcing him into a completely quadruped stance. By this time the only thing that remains unchanged is his hands and arms that are now changing into the forelegs and forepaws of a wolf. When the changes finally stopped Ken felt relieved until a disturbing thought passed through his mind, 'What's going to happen next, is my mind going to be changed too. Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck,' he thought as his mind goes into full blown panic, 'I have to get out of here before that happens.' A few moments later he started to calm down as the glow around him started to fade away and sighed in relief and collapsed into a laying position.
TK on the other side of the maze watching from the podium he's on, 'I hope Ken's ok,' he thinks, 'Wait the light's finally fading away.' When the light fades away he gasps when he sees a jet black wolf wearing Ken's torn and ripped clothes, 'I thought he said he wasn't going to change us until one of us won the fight,' he thought. "Uh Gatomon we have a problem," TK said, "Try to stay away from all of the traps from now on."
"What's wrong TK," Gatomon asked, "You sound really worried."
"Well the trap Gekomon stepped on," TK said, "Turned Ken into a black wolf."
"Let's hope he can't talk," Gatomon said as she turned another corner.
"That's mean but I hope so as well," TK said.
"Ken," Gekomon said, "Ken are you alright." All he got was a yip. "If you're Ken make two sounds." Then he hears two yips. "Well if you see Gatomon anywhere start making sounds."
Meanwhile Gatomon hops over a trap. "So Gekomon is slow but it doesn't matter in the small area we're fighting in," Gatomon said.
"If we find a way to track Gekomon," TK said, "Then I should be able to lead you to him and you can do quick attacks before he can react."
"So how are we going to track him?" Gatomon asked.
"I'm not sure just yet," TK said, "But I will try to figure it out."
"That sounds reassuring," Gatomon said sarcastically.
"At least you were able to trick Gekomon to following you into that trap," TK said.
"What do you expect Gekomon are slow and color blind," Gatomon mumbled.
"What was that Gatomon," TK asked, "I couldn't understand what you just said."
"I said Gekomon are slow and color blind," Gatomon said louder, "Let's just get this over with, I just want to be Angemon again."
"It could have been worse," TK said, "He could have changed you into a Sukamon."
"Good point," Gatomon said, "Those things are disgusting looking and have the nastiest attacks in the digital world."
"What the hell," TK yelled, "Watch out Gekomon somehow got in front of you?"
"I thought you were watching him," Gatomon said as she dodged an attack.
"I am," TK said, "One moment he was behind you and then he was in front. I think the maze changed again to their advantage."
"I hate this maze," Gatomon said, "So far it has changed giving Ken and Gekomon an advantage almost every time."
"It does seem like that doesn't it," TK said, "But it's probably just chance."
"Rapid punch," Gatomon yelled attacking Gekomon, "You're going down."
"Think again cat," Gekomon said, "Symphony Crusher," he yelled.
"Crap this isn't good," Gatomon said trying to get out of the attacks range but couldn't in time, 'Must resist it,' she thought as the attack started to make her drowsy. A few moments later Gatomon was lying passed out on the ground.
"Hmm what should I do now?" Gekomon asked, "I wonder if there is another trap nearby," he asked himself and spotted the one about ten to fifteen feet behind Gatomon. "That will do nicely," he said grabbing Gatomon and carrying her over to the trap to throw her on top of it.
TK seeing this thinks, 'This isn't good.'
Just as he finishes this train of thought, a strange pink light surrounds him, swirling and flashing. His shirt all of a sudden was very tight in the upper torso area, and his hair began to lengthen, until it reached his shoulders. He felt a strange tingling sensation spreading from the top of his head down to the bottom of his feet. He looked down at himself and almost fainted.
He could see the changes take place. His entire body had taken on the figure of a beautiful young woman. "Oh my god," he said, his voice becoming higher and higher as he continued to speak. "Oh my god. What's happening?"
He finally did faint when his clothing began to glow, his blue and yellow t-shirt was replaced by a spaghetti strap pink top, his baggy shorts were replaced by a very short and very tight pink mini-skirt, and his tennis shoes were replaced by pink sandals.
Gatomon rolled to her feet and ran off. "TK?" she asked. After nothing for a while, she asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," A high pitch voice said, "But for the fact that I'm wearing a skirt."
"I'm glad I'm not the only one to lose my manhood," Gatomon said.
"At least you're not wearing a skirt that's too short," TK said only to have Gatomon giggle.
Meanwhile, "Gekomon can you hear me, it's Ken."
"Good to have you talking again," Gekomon said.
"I guess that trap did something," Ken said.
"What about TK?" Gekomon asked as he slowly moved forward.
"He became a nice looking female," Ken said.
"Too bad I can't see what he looks like at the moment," Gekomon said, "Or in this case what she looks like."
'Been a long time hasn't it Ken,' Ken then heard a voice in his head causing his eyes to widen, 'Looks like you finally became what you truly were meant to be.'
"Get out of my head," Ken mumbled, "We destroyed you and nothing can bring you back."
'Let me ask you this,' the voice said, 'How can you destroy something that has always been a part of you?'
"You're not a part of me," Ken said growling, "Never have been and never will be."
"Ken what's wrong," Gekomon said after hearing what Ken said, "Are you feeling ok?"
'Oh by the contrary I have always been a part of you,' the voice replied, 'And you will just have to deal with it.'
"Just leave me alone," Ken said not hearing Gekomon, "I don't want anything to do with you."
'If that's the way you want it,' the voice said, 'I guess I won't tell you some things you and your friends need to know to defeat this evil.'
"Why would you help me now," Ken asked, "Every time you have talked to me before you tried to drive me insane."
'Think about it boy,' the voice said, 'I'm a part of you and you were corrupted with evil which also affected me, causing me to be that way back then.'
"Also what did you mean by I have finally become what I am truly meant to be," Ken asked, "I'm a human being and no matter what happens to me I'll always be human on the inside."
"Ken please talk to me," Gekomon said getting worried for his partner.
'I never said you weren't human,' the voice said changing to a softer kinder version of it, 'Also answer me this, why do you feel so comfortable in this form that you have been given?'
"I...err...don't know," Ken said, "Maybe it's something that digimon did?"
'If that is so,' the voice said, 'then why does your friend over there look extremely uncomfortable in his or should I say her new form.'
"Why should I listen to you anyways," Ken said, "You're evil and will always be evil."
'I may be a darker part of you,' the voice said, 'But I'm only evil if you're the one who chooses to be evil, before you were affected by the dark spore we use to communicate in your dreams all the time.'
"What are you talking about," Ken said, "I don't remember you till I became the digimon emperor back then."
'I didn't say we talked,' the voice said, 'All I said was we communicated back then, and there is more ways to communicate then by talking.'
"Why aren't you talking to me Ken," Gekomon said really worried for his friend, "Please just answer me."
"Huh," Ken said, "Something wrong Gekomon?"
"Yeah I have been trying to get your attention for about five minutes now," Gekomon said, "I heard you mumbling something under your breath and then you started whimpering too."
'He's right about you whimpering,' the voice said, 'And he hasn't really heard any of the conversation since it's been mainly going on in your head.'
"Yeah I'm fine Gekomon," Ken said, "It's just that same voice from when I was the D.E. is bugging me again." He then speaks to the voice in his head, "If you're not evil then why were you doing those things back then?"
'I already told you that it was because of the dark spore,' the voice responded, 'But also it wasn't me because the enemy you had back then was able to possess me for short periods of time using the power of the dark spore.'
"But what do you want from me," Ken asked, "Why couldn't you have chosen someone else to bother?"
'It's kind of hard when I'm a part of you to bug anyone else,' the voice said sarcastically, 'Now if you will just listen I will tell you how to defeat this guy.'
"How can you know more about what is going on if you're a part of me," Ken asked.
'You would know too if you knew how to use all of your senses to their full potential,' the voice said, 'I don't think this has anything to do with it but something has happened to your friend Ryo and it might be wise to keep your distance from him for the time being.'
"What do you mean something is wrong with Ryo," Ken asked, "It can't be a dark spore or it would have affected him sooner, and how do you know that there is something wrong with him?"
'As I told you I know because I can use your or should I say our body's senses to there fullest,' the voice said, 'Now just let me tell you what you need to know, this digimon that is forcing you to fight is only a lackey to a digimon with powers you can't even begin to imagine.'
"Hey Gekomon watch out Gatomon is around the corner behind you," Ken heard himself saying, "I didn't say that did I," he asked.
'I did,' the voice said, 'Since I'm a part of you he's my partner too.'
"I guess you're not going to leave me alone ever again are you," Ken asked.
'Nope,' the voice said, 'I have never left you alone anyways. One of the things I need to tell you is that you and most of the Digi-destined of your world have only begun to scratch the surface of your real potentials.'
"What is that supposed to mean," Ken asked, "I thought mega was the highest form digimon could go."
'It is that any of you can make them go at the moment,' the voice said, 'I said you and the Digi-destined not digimon. But think about only three digimon can go to the mega level out of all of the digimon the Digi-destined have and two digimon have to DNA-digivolve into one digimon to go to the mega level.'
Meanwhile TK and Gatomon are talking, "Hey it could be worse," Gatomon said.
"Oh how could it be any worse than it already is," TK asked.
"You could be the one fighting instead of me," Gatomon said.
"Good point," TK said and heard the host laughing, "Uh oh I think that digimon over heard what we were saying."
"Thanks for the ideas," Lord Holy Angemon said, "I'll use it in other fights." He then thought, 'Why didn't I think of this, oh well I'll at least be able to use the idea later on.'
'Hmm looks like your two other friends are going to have a surprise for them when they wake up," the voice said, 'And all because what TK and Gatomon just said.'
"How do you know their unconscious," Ken asked, "We haven't seen them since before we got sucked into that portal," he said.
'I just know,' the voice said, 'I can since that their not to far from here, oh there is something I need to show you really quick before you lose or win.'
"What do you mean show me something," Ken asked, "How can you show me something if you're a part of me."
'Just watch your right foreleg for a moment,' the voice said, 'And you will see what I want to show you.'
"Ok but this doesn't make any since," Ken said as he turned his attention to his right foreleg, "Ok this seems pointless," he started to say but was surprised when felt the same feeling in his right foreleg when he was changed into his current form. "What are you doing?"
'Keep watching and you'll see," the voice said.
Ken watched as the paw on his right foreleg started changing and slowly became more human like, after a few minutes he had his right human hand back, "How," is all he could think of to ask.
'This is part of your family heritage,' the voice said, 'But I was trying to change the entire foreleg not just the hand, with what that digimon did to us it will make it impossible for you to change back to human at the moment.'
"What do you mean it's a family heritage thing," Ken asked but then his attention was drawn away as his hand almost instantly reverted to a paw, "Huh why did my hand do that?"
'Whatever that digimon did to us,' the voice said, 'Made it almost impossible to change any part of this body back to human at the moment.'
"We need to beat them," TK said, "Then we may be change back to normal."
"How?" Gatomon asked.
"Remember how Kari's Gatomon was able to slow our digimon down. She attacks and jumps so try that, Gekomon is slower than you."
"Right," Gatomon ran off, when she turned the corner Gekomon was right there. He leapt at her only to receive a kick to his stomach and jumped out of the way before his fist could hit her. As Gatomon was landing she called out, "Rapid punch," hitting Gekomon in the face and chest multiple times. Each time he tried to attack her she would jump out of the way and land another series of attacks to him before he had a chance to recover from doing his last attack, he tried to attack her again but this time she leapt out the way onto his head and pushing off of it and caused his face to hit the ground. When got up he turned around just in time to hear Gatomon yell, "Lightning Paw," hitting him in the face with all her strength and sending him flying into the wall and knocking him out cold.
"The winner TK and Gatomon," Lord Holy Angemon said.
"We did it," TK cheered as she grabbed Gatomon.
Wormmon walks over to a darker Garurumon and said "You're right TK is a cute girl." They both turn to TK who was blushing and trying to hide behind Patamon.
"Well I guess it's on to the next pair," Lord Holy Angemon said.
"Hey what about me," TK yelled, "You're not going to leave me like this are you?"
"Why shouldn't I," Lord Holy Angemon asked, "It's an improvement to your looks and all, oh yes before I forget here;" he said tossing the digi-egg of hope back to them. "Well be seeing you later," he said disappearing.
Now we find in yet a third area that looks almost exactly like the previous two with Kari, Davis and their digimon lying unconscious on the ground. "What happened and why do I feel like I've been run over," Kari asked, "And why do I feel so strange too?"
"Owe my aching head," Davis said, "Did anyone get the license plate of the tankmon that hit me."
"Oh hey Ex-veemon," Kari said, "Do you know what happened after we got flung into that gateway or portal?"
"Huh why did you just call me Ex-veemon, Nefertimon," Davis asked, "It's me Davis."
"Are you sure you didn't bump your head really hard again Ex-veemon," Kari asked with a grin on her face, "And why are you calling me Nefertimon anyways?" She then saw movement out of the corner of her eye only to gasp in shock when she saw herself lying right next to her unconscious. "This has to be some sort of dream," she mumbled to herself.
"Is something wrong Nefertimon," Davis asked, "You don't seem to be acting like yourself at the moment." He then turned his head behind him when he heard his own voice muttering, "My aching head," and his eyes went wide in shock when he saw himself lying behind him.
"About time you woke up," the host said, "I was beginning to think you were going to sleep for the rest of the week."
"What did you do to me and Ex-veemon," Davis yelled hitting his hand into the ground, then roared in pain from hitting it into the ground, 'Why did that hurt so fucking bad,' he thought and then looked at his hand realizing that it was broken.
"This can't be happening," Kari mumbled, "I'm still unconscious and dreaming all of this."
"Oh your not the only one I did it too," Lord Holy Angemon said motioning to Kari and Nefertimon, "I also did the same thing to them. Oh Kari you're not dreaming, this is very real."
"What?" Davis yelled enraged, "You change us back now or else."
"Or else what," the host asked mockingly, "You'll end up the same way as your friends Cody and Yolie?"
"What did you do with them," Davis roared, "If you even harmed them I'll rip you to shreds."
"They're perfectly fine," Lord Holy Angemon said, "I changed to friends into digimon and they are in a training facility to learn their new line of work, although Yolie will soon be joining my other workers at the palace. But unlike the others I have working for me she will be at my disposal any time I need her."
"You're sick," Kari yelled, "I can't believe you would even think about doing something like that to any of our friends, yet alone Yolie."
"So you think it's sick," Lord Holy Angemon said, "That I'm turning her into a maid to help keep all of the rooms in my palace clean especially mine?"
A huge sweat drop formed behind Kari's head, "Oh," was all she could say, 'I'm just glad being like this no one can see me blush,' she thought embarrassed.
"What about us?" Davis said.
"I'll switch you back to your human body after the fight," Lord Holy Angemon said, "Then the loser will be change into a digimon. The fight will start as soon as your partners wake up. Then you can tell them about the fight."
"And how are we going to fight?" Kari asked.
"I feel like a normal fight," Lord Holy Angemon said.
"What about my hand?" Davis asked.
"That's beyond my power," Lord Holy Angemon said, "You're just need to make the best of it. That why we need to wait for the others to wake."
"How's it beyond your power if you can do this to us," Davis asked, "If you can switch us between bodies then you should be able to heal my hand."
"I said I don't have that kind of power," Lord Holy Angemon said, 'I could heal his hand, but I want to see how he manages with the way it is,' he thought.
Nefertimon then started to wake up, "What was that flash of light I saw before passing out," she said opening her eyes, "Another Nefertimon," she said confused, "I didn't know there were any others."
"Not exactly," Kari said, "Some how that digimon switched our bodies," she said staring at Lord Holy Angemon, "And also expects Davis and me to fight like this."
"What do you mean he switched our bodies," Nefertimon asked and looked at herself causing her to go pale, "How am I in Kari's body. That means," she then turned to Kari and asked, "Kari?"
"Yeah it's me," Kari said, "It feels weird being in this form, at least it doesn't feel as weird for you since in half of your digivolutions you stand on two legs."
"Hey this feels weird for me too," Nefertimon said, "I'm used to being on four legs in that body."
"What happened," Davis' body said as he sat up. He looks around, "We switched bodies right?" The others only nodded, "So what's happening?"
"The digimon that captured us wants me and Davis to fight or he'll take all of use as his slaves," Kari said.
"What do we do?" Veemon asked.
"Tell us how to fight," Kari said.
"Enough talk," Lord Holy Angemon said, "Partners please go to the sides of the fighting ring. You may go anywhere in this room but if you attack me then you both lose. Start the fight."
'Just great I barely know any of Nefertimon's attacks,' Kari thought, 'The only two I do know is Rosetta stone and Golden noose, and I can't use Golden noose since it also requires Pegasusmon in order to do the attack.'
'Damn it even though I know all of Ex-Veemon's attacks,' Davis thought, 'I can't use half of them right because of my broken hand.'
"Might as well get this started," Davis yells, "I would say ladies first but I don't want to lose this fight, Vee laser," he shouted launching his attack at Kari.
"Oh so that is how you want to do it," Kari said jumping out of the way of the attack, "Rosetta stone," she yelled launching her attack at Davis.
Davis leaps out of the way of the attack only to have debris from the area hit by Kari's attack fly into his stomach and knock the wind out him, "Oomphf," is all he could manage when he hit the ground gasping for air. 'I'm just glad that didn't hit me any lower then it did,' he thought, 'Or I more then likely would have been knocked out from the pain with how hard it hit.'
"Come on Davis get up," Veemon yelled, "It couldn't have hit you that hard."
"I'm getting up," Davis said getting his second wind, "It just knocked the wind out of me, I'll be fine."
'Ouch that had to hit hard," Veemon thought, 'Especially since it left deep enough cuts that are bleeding slightly.'
"Vee laser," Davis shouts launching his attack only for Kari to avoid it, "Not bad Kari," he said running towards her, "But you should keep your mind open to other possibilities, Vee kick," he yelled kicking her in the lower back and sending her crashing into the ground.
"Kari are you ok," Nefertimon asked worried, "Even though you can't use the Golden noose attack you should still be able to use Queen's paw, and Cat's eye beam besides Rosetta stone."
"Thanks that will help," Kari said pulling herself out of the crater that was created when she hit the ground, "Cat's eye beam," she yelled sending beams of light from her eyes at Davis.
Davis tried to get out of the way but couldn't in time and the beams hit him in the shoulder leaving cuts around a nasty burn mark, "Arrghh," he yelled, "I'm just glad it didn't hit my arm with the good hand," he mumbled to himself as he clutched his injured shoulder.
'Hmm this one is turning out to be an interesting fight already,' Knightmon thought as he watched from where Davis, Kari and their partners couldn't see him, 'I wonder who will win?'
"You look happy," Lord Holy Angemon said, "I told you they could be good fights." They watch Kari hit Davis with her Rosetta stone.
Davis grunted as he used his hurt arm as a shield. "Sorry, I need to do this," Davis said. With pain in his arm, he formed an X on his chest.
Kari jump back from another Vee laser. Gatomon watch as Kari planted were paws on the ground. Her chest raised and lowers as she pulled a huge amount of air in. 'I still did not recover for the fight before,' Gatomon thought, 'At least Davis is in the same state.'
'That does it,' Davis thought, 'I have to get in close range combat with her.' He then flew towards dodging her attacks as he went, "Critical crunch," he yelled going for her upper front leg only to be kicked in the chin before he could finish the attack and leaving three nasty scratches on his chin.
"You have to better then that," Kari said, "Or you are going to lose this fight."
"Getting a little cocky are you Kari," Davis said rushing towards her, "Try this out for size, Critical," he started to yell as he neared Kari who braced herself for the attack only for him to yell, "Vee laser," as he got into her face and launched the attack at point blank range.
Kari didn't even have a chance to scream as she was sent flying into ground and buried in rubble. Lord Holy Angemon was about to declare Davis as the winner when she yelled, "Rosetta stone," hitting him in the chest.
"Damn it," Davis yelled from the pain, "I shouldn't have let my guard down."
When Kari had finally pulled herself from the debris she got buried under from Davis' attack; Davis, Veemon and Gatomon just stared in surprise when she turned to them, causing her to ask, "What's wrong with you guys, you're acting like you've seen a ghost or something."
Gatomon finally gaining the will to speak before anyone else, "Kari the face mask," she said, "It shattered from the last attack and your face it's..."
Before Gatomon could finish what she is saying Lord Holy Angemon cut her off and said, "It's the most horrifying thing that I have ever seen."
Gatomon hearing this is enraged and brawls out, "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU LYING SACK OF FUCKING HORSE SHIT!" She then took a deep breath calming herself and said, "Your face it's your face that's behind the mask Kari."
"What do you mean it's my face behind the mask," Kari asked confused.
"What I mean is that the face behind the mask is your face," Gatomon said pointing to her face, "But it looks aged to about eight or more years from now and is even more beautiful then I would have imagined it would be."
All Kari could do in response is blush four different shades of red, "Thanks," she said embarrassed.
"Just because that's how you look," Davis said, "Doesn't mean I'm going to go any easier on you," he said rushing towards her and getting ready to attack. Davis swung at Kari with his fist. Kari duck from the hit. Below his fist Kari slammed her body into Davis, then a Gatomon and Veemon lands on the ground.
Davis was the first one to stand up, "Looks like we have to fight like this now," he said trying to catch his breath. 'Damn it my arm is still in pretty bad shape,' he thought, 'Man my stomach has been hurting like hell since,' he then cut off as he let a huge one rip and yelled, "VEEMON HAVE YOU BEEN EATING THE FOOD THAT I TOLD YOU NOT TO," while blushing in embarrassment.
"Uh, um, no I haven't," Veemon said nervously.
"Damn Davis what have you been eating," Kari said, "I'm surprised the dead aren't running from the smell," she said with an evil smile on her face.
"Hey that's just wrong," Veemon yelled, "It doesn't smell that bad."
Davis was about to say something when the ground started shaking and around ten corpses rose from the ground, "Uh oh this doesn't look good," he said, "I think we might end up having to fight them as well."
Kari and Davis prepared to fight them when the one that seemed to be the leader shouted, "Run, must get away from the smell," causing huge sweat drops to form on the back of the head of everyone that is there.
"I only meant it as a joke," Kari mumbled to herself.
"That is just wrong," Veemon said and nearly gagged when he got a whiff of the smell finally, 'Fuck that reeks,' he thought, 'No wonder they ran, maybe I shouldn't eat that stuff like Davis keeps telling me but it tastes so good.'
'If I ever catch Veemon eating chili again,' Davis thought angrily, 'I'll lock him in a vault and won't let him out till I know he's passed out from the smell.'
A few moments later Lord Holy Angemon and Knightmon start cracking up from what just happened, "You never said that one of them would be funny too," Knightmon said between laughs.
"How was I supposed to know that would happen," Lord Holy Angemon said also laughing.
"Hey Kari," Davis said getting her attention, "Vee headbutt," he yelled ramming his head into her stomach.
"Oh that is how you want to play," Kari said, "Lightning paw," she yelled slashing his uninjured arm.
Gatomon watch as her claw dug into Veemon's shoulder. Then she heard a painful whimper from her body as the two digimon spun to the ground.
Kari pushes Davis off her chest. Davis rolled away. Both push themselves to their feet. "I'm Sorry Davis," Kari said as she got to her feet, "I want to help Yolie and Cody. I don't want you to share their fate but what I want most of all is to help Tai and protect him. I'm sorry I'm not a good friend."
"I understand," Davis said, "You're his sister. I also want to help Yolie and Cody but we can't if we don't fight our best."
"If there was another way," Kari said, "I would use it but there isn't at the moment."
"I know we don't have any other choice," Davis said, "And of course you're not a good friend, you are a great friend."
"Thanks," Kari said, "But if you're trying to distract me it isn't going to work."
"I was only being truthful," Davis said, "And I wasn't trying to distract you." He then gets a worried look on his face, 'Damn with my arm like this I can barely use the punch attacks.'
"Rapid punch," Kari yelled as she ran up to Davis, 'If I can just get him to look me in the eyes I can use the Cat's eye hypnotism on him.'
Davis jumped back and yelled, "Vee head butt," slamming into Kari yet again.
Kari stopped herself from rolling about fifteen feet away from Davis, "You're pretty good," she said, "For someone who's only had his digimon for about four and a half years now."
"Thanks," Davis said, "I decided to learn what all of the attacks that all of my partner's forms are. You're not to bad yourself Kari."
"I hope you don't mind being stuck as a digimon for awhile," Kari said, "Because this fight will be over in a few moments."
"I think you're getting ahead of yourself Kari," Davis said looking her straight into the eyes.
"You just made the worst mistake you could," Kari said grinning evilly, "Cat's eye hypnotism," she yelled.
Davis' eyes widened in surprise for a moment before they became glazed over in a hypnotized daze, 'Oh shit,' he thought before his mind went blank.
"Hey Davis see that wall over there," Kari asked him and he nodded, "Use your Vee head butt on it till you knock it down."
"Davis snap out of it," Veemon yelled trying to get his attention, "There is no way you can do it with out hurting yourself really bad."
"Veemon you of all digimon should know that there is no way of snapping him out of that attacks affect," Gatomon said, "You have been on the receiving end of it when we practice."
"I have," Veemon asked confused.
Gatomon just sweat dropped at Veemon's confusion, "Of course you have," she said, "How do you explain losing most of our sparring matches? She then thought, 'Why is Veemon playing dumb, he should know that the attack puts others into a trance like state and stops all conscious thought. Oh wait he probably doesn't remember it because all conscious thought is blocked through the duration of the attack.'
Davis walked over to the wall and started using the Vee head butt attack on it, a few minutes later he lays unconscious on the ground in the form of Demi-Veemon.
"And the winner is Kari," Lord Holy Angemon said.
