Chapter 5

HLJ Part 1: A new enemy

At Apocalymon's castle

Apocalymon checked if all systems were functioning properly. He saw Kari and Salamon's ice statues in the experiment room. Kazu was busily getting ready for the system to start. Rika and Jeri watched on.

"Kazu, is the system ready?"

"Not yet my lord, it will take me another hour."

"Well hurry up! Oh…. Very interesting."

Rika and Jeri saw what had attracted Apocalymon's attention.

"As I expected, the hazard boy and his pathetic digimon will not be affected by my rock."

"Should we hide the crestrock, my lord?"

"Yes, Jeri we should. Take the rock and put ii in my bedchamber underground."

Jeri nodded and rushed off.

"Rika, I want you to buy us some time for us to change Ms Kamiya."

"Roger."

"Let's go BlackRenamon."

BlackRenamon teleported to the outside while Rika went to exit.

Apocalymon smiled amused.

"Everything is going according to plan."

Gallantmon raced towards the castle.

"Wow… still has not changed after that battle. I've got to get the rock and save Kari and maybe the other Tamers too.

"Well, look who has join the party. Hello there, Hazard. Or should I say, Takato Mastuda."

"Rika….."

"You will not pass Matsuda till you beat me."

"Why are you working with Apocalymon?"

"I have been since I was a mere 10-year-old."

"That's wrong! You are manipulated by him! You are really our friend! Not enemy!"

"Enough! This will be your last resting place, knight!"

"Sigh…."

Rika biomerged to Kuzuhamon and the shaman digimon faced Gallantmon.

Somewhere

Alphamon and Beelzamon watched again as events unfold. They watched as Takato battles against Rika. The knight seemed to be holding back much to the two digimons' dismay. Alphamon grew worried. Beelzamon was one step ahead and shook his head.

"No."

"What?"

"You thinking of interfering again?"

"But Takato needs help."

"Alphamon! The Sovereigns told us not to get involved! We already broke the rule."

"So what?"

"SO WHAT?! We will lose our digivolution prowess and will be powerless."

"Oh. I just feel useless standing here again."

Beelzamon sighed.

"You and me both pal. Azulongmon is mad at us for helping them."

"Why? They are our friends and his too."

"I just can't understand that huge blue dragon."

Back to the battle

Gallantmon was being trashed by Kuzuhamon. He had massive wounds on his armour and his sheild had been broken into pieces. His lance was removed by Kuzuhamon's staff.

"Why are you holding back?"

"Because you are my friend."

"I told you! I am your enemy."

Kuzuhamon raised her staff and executed her most powerful attack.

"CRYSTAL SPHERE!!!"

Gallantmon failed to avoid the attack and was thrown very far away to the north.

"Arggggh!!!"

I failed you my friends……

No we haven't, Takato.

Guilmon, what do you mean?

We need to get stronger and then return to fight them again.

But how? We are too weak. Rika defeated us, its over.

You did not fight with all your might, Takato.

Sigh…

See, you should not have hold back.

You're right Guilmon, we will return but we need to recover first.

Right, Takato.

At Apocalymon's castle

Apocalymon laughed in triumph when he saw Gallantmon being thrown away by the power of Kuzuhamon's attack and that we leave the sick digidestineds and tamers defenceless.

"Now to proceed with phase three of our plan and that is to get rid of the sick heroes. Kazu, is the operation finished."

"Yes my lord."

"Bring her to my room."

The girl walked into Apocalymon's room.

"What is do you wish my lord?"

"Destroy the chosen ones who are hiding. Join with Rika and Jeri in the assault. Don't show any mercy to them. Understand, Kari?"

"Yes."

Kari left the room and she looked different. Her hair was long and she was wearing black-coloured clothes instead of pink and she smirks instead of smiling. A BlackGatomon walked with her.

"Ready for your mission, Kari?"

"Yeah."

Back at the hideout

Izzy was observing the battle on his laptop. He was horrified to see Gallantmon nowhere in the area. He assumed that the knight was defeated and his whereabouts were unknown. Alice who was watching too was sitting in one corner quietly and occasionally coughs. Izzy knew they were going to die in a week without the crestrock. Takato had failed and Willis is dead. Davis is gone too. Three great heroes had fallen. The rest, including himself, are too weak and sick to fight.

"Can things get any worse?"

"Oh yes they can."

Izzy was shocked by the answer and turned to see Jeri at the entrance of the hideout.

"FIST OF THE BEAST KING!!!!"

Izzy avoided the attack and shouted to wake up everybody. Agumon walked up to Leomon.

"Tai! Please make me evolve."

"But you're sick."

"I don't care! Please, Tai!"

Tai reluctantly nodded and used his digivice.

AGUMON WARP-DIGIVOLVE TOOOOOOOO

WARGREYMON

Wargreymon looked a bit different. With broken armour and seemed to have less power. Wargreymon himself realized that and decided to hold Leomon off so that the others will be safe.

DRAMON KILLER!!!

The attack did not seem to faze the champion. Leomon used his sword and slashed Wargreymon's back armour. The mega de-digivolved to Koromon.Rika and Daomon came and sealed the entrance. Izzy said it was foolish as everybody will be safe.

"Oh really, genius. While we were busy fighting, our companion managed to enter this pathetic facility."

"Who would that be?"

"Me."

Izzy saw Kari emerged from the darkness.

"Hello, Izzy."

"Kari… no…"

"I've killed the all the digimon partners and Koromon there will be gone too. Time for you chosens to meet your maker."

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Then an explosion was heard. The three girls and their digimons went to investigate. Izzy discovered the seal was broken. He took Koromon and he called the digidestineds and tamers to follow him. Tai asked him where they were going.

"Just follow me."

Meanwhile, Alphamon and Beelzamon were running away from Taomon, Panjyamon and LadyDevimon, BlackGatomon's ultimate form. Beelzamon was furious with his friend.

"Why you do that for?"

"To save them what else!"

"Thinking about them? What about us? Did you think of the consequences of your actions?"

"Well, I…."

"Forget it! Anyway, we have to escape."

DOUBLE IMPACT!!!!

The bullets hit the ground and make an explosion.

Alphamon looked at his friend.

"What was that attack for?"

"Buy us time to escape."

They managed to escape after all. The three girls and their digimons cursed them and went back to the castle.

To the digidestineds and tamers

Tai could not believe his sister was his enemy now. He would not talk to anybody, not even Sora. Izzy realized that in order to get the crestrock, they must somehow convinced Kari to do that but how do they do that?
