Well, I spent longer on this that i wanted to. (stupid end of course projects)

Ken backed up, grabbing a hold of Wormmon in the process, and maneuvered his way through the thick cloud of darkness. It felt evil, like the cloud he'd been trapped as the Digimon Emperor, also made by Myotismon. Around him he could here the other Digidestined calling to one another, but the mist obscured things so their voices had no determinable source. He took another step back and collided into something, or someone.
"Who's there?!" Came the voice behind him, thankfully friend, not foe.
"Davis?" Ken turned around to face Davis, close enough for him to see in the shroud, also holding his digimon so the wouldn't be separated.
"Ken, it's you. Great, now we can DNA digivolve to take this creep down," he said enthusiastically, pumping his fist into the air.
"Wait a second Davis, that might not be such a great idea."
"Why not? We'll just have Wormmon and Veemon digivolve to Imperialdramon like last time and defeat him."
"But we can't see anything, so if we went on the offensive, our digimon would just be at risk," Ken told him.
"He's got a point," Veemon added, looking up and Davis. The boy stared down at his partner, then at Ken. He sighed.
"Okay, you have a point, but what else can we do. Dude, we're sitting ducks right now!"
"I'm thinking," Ken replied, and left it at that. He closed his eyes, hand on his chin. Davis stared at the other boy, clearly deep in though and crossed his arms to at least try to come up with a plan of his own.
"I got nothing," came the response after a few moments. Ken opened one eye to regard Davis's slight interruption, but immediately shut it again. "Man, I wish Gatomon or Wizardmon was with us. One of them would know what he was up to."
The new revelation entered Ken's mind. Gatomon and Wizardmon. He snapped open his eyes and startled Davis, who had proceeded to scratching at the ground with some random stick he had found, with a sudden exclamation.
"We have to find Kari, Gatomon, and Wizardmon! He's going after them first!"
Davis stared, processing the new information, until the message got to him. "Dude, you're right! Okay, time to digivolve."

Now he was in trouble
It took a while for the Bakemon to realize that there was only one Tapirmon under Myotismon's power, but once he did, he informed everyone within earshot of his escape. Now Tapirmon was on the run from an army of Bakemon and the item he had stolen was slowing him down. He shifted the pilfered object in his stubby little arms so he wouldn't drop it as he rounded the corner. There was enough distance between him and the mob for Tapirmon to band his head against the secret brick and open the passage before they came around.
He let out a sigh and dropped the object, staring in amazement that that he was able to get way carrying something almost half size his size. Tapirmon examined it for a few moments until he figured out exactly what he had to do with it. The vaccine groaned, and picked it up once more as he made his way down the tunnel, reopening the corridor that he had sealed off to protect the digidestined. Tapirmon grimaced, knowing that he had probably caught up with them by now.
He quickened his pace. Soon he found the ladder, pushed open the trapdoor, and peaked out, only to be met with total darkness. He shut the hatch and slunk back down, not knowing what to do next.

Imperialdramon Fighter Mode shot up from the black mist, hovering above the dark cloud that covered the area the digidestined had occupied. Two dark orbs fired up at him, but luckily he spotted and slid out of the way. Two more raced towards him, but this time he was ready. He dodges again and went on the rebound, he alined the cannon on his arm, firing off a Positron Laser in the direction of the attack. It hit something, but nothing happened after that. He floating down a little closer only to have the red whip wrap itself around him and pull him into the chaos. Imperialdramon crashed into the ground, leaving a good sized crater as he shakily stood up. He began to fly up, but the crimson lighting grabbed a hold of him again and puled him back down. The mega grabbed a hold of the whip and yanked it towards him, along with the virus on the other end. Myotismon came racing towards him.
Feet first.
He delivered a sturdy kick to Imperialdramon's jaw, causing him to drop the whip and stagger back. Myotismon cackled.
"Crimson Mist!" A black wave of energy, shaped like a sickle's blade shot forward and hit his opponent in the stomach, pushing him farther back into the mist. He laughed and called out another attack. "Venom Infusion!" Rainbow colored beams shot form his eyes, knocking Imperialdramon onto his back before he had a chance to fight back. Myotismon cackled again and rose himself into the air. "How on earth did you fools mange to destroy me three times? Is that the best you can do, Digidestined?" he called out for them all to hear. During his rambling, Imperialdramon rose up again. Myotismon cast him an unconcerned glance, then knocked him right back down again.
"Giga Crusher!" Myotismon turned around a second to late and he was shot down by white sphere. He skidded across the ground, nearly collided with a couple of the digidestined and the fog began to fade to nothing. Imperialdramon stepped over the vampire, a smirk on his face. the dragon mouth on his armor snapped shut as he gave his reply. "No, Myotismon, we're just getting started."
Myotismon glared at him and raised his arms, palms facing the dragon-like digimon. "Grizzly Wing!" The bats came rushing forward, forming a spiral around Imperialdramon, each one slowly draining away his data bit-by-bit. The dispersed themselves and Imperialdramon fell to his knees, splitting into Chibomon and Leafmon. He snorted at the two baby digimon and walked away as their partners rushed to them.
"I tried," Chibomon whispered as Davis cradled him in his arms.
"I know," he softly replied, looking to Ken, who was having the same conversation with his own partner. Meanwhile, Angemon and Ankylomon had merged into Shakkoumon and were confronted Myotismon with Aquilamon, while Wizardmon ushered Gatomon and Kari away from the battle.
"If a mega didn't stand a chance against me, what makes you think the lot of you will do any better?" Aquilamon snarled and charged.
"Grand Horn!" Myotismon yawned and simply flicked his wrist to the side, causing Aquilamon to change directions and slam into a particularly thick tree, which fell under the force of his attack. Aquilamon groaned, and changed back to Hawkmon.
"Kachina Bombs!" Shakkoumon shouted, taking his chance to attack. The bomb launched from his waist, but the vampire caught it and tossed it back just at it exploded. Shakkoumon was thrown back by his own attack, but still in the fight, until Myotismon took the offensive again, launching another Crimson mist which reduced Shakkoumon back to Patamon and Armadillomon.
"I guess that really was the best they could do," he muttered to himself before returning to his original plan. Wizardmon defensively moved in front of the two girls, holding his staff at ready. "Do you really want to die again?" Myotismon exasperatedly asked him.
"I won't allow you to hurt them," he said, eyes narrowing. "Magical Game!"
"Oh not this again." He moved his cloak in front of him and the blue lightning merely bounced off. He pulled out his own lightning, the crimson variety, and tossed Wizardmon aside like last time. "I'll deal with you later," he said, advancing on Kari and Gatomon. "Now, I shall finally be able to watch the two of you die."
"No you won't!" called a voice. Everyone turned and there stood Tapirmon, bruised, but still alive. "Head's up Kari!" With all his might, the little boar heaved something towards the girl. She caught it and
looked down at what she held. It was a digiegg, exactly matching the head of Wizardmon's staff in size and shape, but the markings differed. The symbols had ben replaced with an arc containing an 'x' with a small diamond in each intersection, all in black. Kari sent a worried look to Gatomon, who was still badly beaten and weak.
"We have to," she answered. Kari sighed, but put on a serious face. With one swift movement she held the digiegg high in the air.
"Digi-Armor energize!"
