Previously on Revolution of the DigiDestined:

Yamato here, Daisuke helped Hikari revive and he stepped back into behind the scenes for sometime. Sora told Joe some secret stuff about how she feels and I and Taichi would wait... or rather Taichi would. Anyway, Koushiro and Mimi are definitely going to be together for... Maybe actually become a couple. Once I and Taichi awoke, we agreed on not becoming Omnimon for sometime.

We all headed towards Spiral Peak were, not knowledgeable to us, Daisuke was waiting. The battle started as Ophanimon battled off with Lady Devimon, Mega Kabuterimon helped out a bit. I and Taichi faced off against Piedmon, but were turned into key chains. Others were turned into key chains as well. It was only with Magna Angemon's and Star Veemon's help that Piedmon and his Nightmare Army of Vilemon were defeated. I wonder what's waiting for us.

Are to go home finally or is there another opponent? On with the conclusion...

"Are you sure of this?" Veemon asked, like for the tenth time.

"I'm positive. Besides we might be able to biomerge through this." Daisuke replied.

"Biomerge? I see that out of the question." Veemon argued.

"We might face danger before we reach Spiral Peak." Daisuke remarked.

"Danger? What danger?" A voice asked.

Daisuke sweat-dropped. "I know that voice."

"So do I, too well." Veemon growled.

"Glad to see me kiddos?" Cherrymon asked.

"Cherrymon - Nature Meric Migration - He's a master in manipulation but to those who don't know him. He's also known as Jureimon - His attacks are: Pit Pelter; Illusion Mist; Cherry Blast."

"What the hell do you want?" Daisuke asked.

"Oh, stopping from a little walk to catch up on some old friends." Cherrymon replied.

"We know you scheme so leave us alone." Veemon growled.

"Listen juvenile-scam, I did that once and I'm not welling to do it again." Cherrymon refused.

"Then we'll force you to do it, or we'll defeat you. Take the consequences." Daisuke warned.

Cherrymon laughed. "Consequence? From last time we met, your Digimon didn't pass maturity."

"Since then he has." Daisuke grinned.

"Are you kidding? You won't know the difference between a mosquito and a fly! You'd never be able to get your Digimon pass maturity since you don't have a crest." Cherrymon chuckled.

Daisuke growled. "Show him V!"

"Roger." Veemon smiled.

"VEEMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... EX VEEMON!"

"Known to me. I defeated him out of pity." Cherrymon yawned.

"EX VEEMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... STEALTH VEEMON!"

"Oh... Fine! Show me what you got!" Cherrymon growled.

"Gladly." Stealth Veemon smiled.

"Illusion Mist!" Cherrymon yelled.

The attack hit Stealth Veemon in numerous places and he shrieked in pain. He glowed and shrunk back to Veemon. Veemon looked worried.

"You..." Daisuke growled.

Cherrymon laughed. "You honestly think I would leave him a chance? Manipulation isn't my only field of expertise, but so is lying and cheating."

"We've got to make the run this time V." Daisuke whispered.

"I guess you're right Dai." Veemon sighed.

"The only reason why I left last time, even though I defeated you, was because I felt pity towards you both." Cherrymon explained.

Daisuke and Veemon ran off.

"Where to?" Cherrymon yelled.

Daisuke and Veemon kept on running in the plains, until they can to a steep downward hill. Cherrymon popped out off the ground behind them. Daisuke and Veemon looked back; they turned back towards the steep downward hill.

"You're both cornered. After the steepness is a cliff that you'd both fall off of and die." Cherrymon explained.

"Maybe." Daisuke whispered.

Veemon looked at him in confusion.

Daisuke grinned. "But we'll take the risk! Let's go V!"

Before Veemon could reply, Daisuke slid off onto the steep hill. Veemon sighed and followed. Cherrymon gasped and went to the edge. Daisuke was in the lead, sliding down, with Veemon behind him slightly. On reaching the edge both Daisuke and Veemon jumped into the air, passing the edge. They fell downwards.

"What do you say we try it?" Daisuke asked.

"To become one? Let's go for it!" Veemon cheered.

"You got it. I just hope our biomerged form can fly! Ascend to Power!" Daisuke yelled.

"VEEMON BIOMERGE!"
"... STAR VEEMON!"

Star Veemon pulled himself up in midair.

"Excellent!" Daisuke's and Veemon's voice cheered in unison, for the only time.

"Star Veemon - Angel Jerebi Mate - Star Veemon is one of the strongest biomerged or hybrid Digimon alive, with the skills and abilities of no other person in Dardom - His attacks are: Angel Dust; Victory Blade; Victory Beam; Wing Protection; Blade Captor."

Cherrymon's eyes widened upon seeing Star Veemon flying ahead of him with his arms folded. Star Veemon flew behind Cherrymon and landed there. Cherrymon turned to him.

"A mega?" He asked.

"Correction: mate. Try your Illusion Mist now! I dare you." Star Veemon grinned.

Cherrymon growled. "Illusion Mist!"

"Wing Protection!" Star Veemon yelled.

He put his wings in front of him, covering him from the front. The attack hit the wings with no affect. Cherrymon gasped once again. Star Veemon's face showed grinning, as he slowly put his wings back.

"You had your chance, now its mine." Star Veemon remarked.

Star Veemon flew at him at top speed. Star Veemon rammed into Cherrymon, sending him flying backwards, for yards, passing the cliff's edge below. Cherrymon fell downwards, but Star Veemon pursued him.

"To make you sure you don't come back! Blade Captor!" Star Veemon yelled.

He caught Cherrymon with the rope that came out of his blade. Star Veemon held him in place and continued on flying downwards.

"Victory Blade!" Star Veemon yelled, slashing through Cherrymon as he passed him.

Cherrymon screamed in pain and was deleted. Star Veemon pulled back up and landed at the top of the hill. He sheathed his blade and flew off towards Spiral Peak. Upon reaching it, Star Veemon hid behind some rocks and devolved back into Daisuke and Veemon, waiting for the others to show up...

Out of nowhere, Gennai's holograph appeared, but it was static.

"Excellent work on the dark masters." Gennai congratulated.

"What's wrong?" Hercules Kabuterimon asked.

"Yeah, you don't contact us unless there's a problem." Zudomon agreed.

Gennai sighed. "There's a prob..."

The holograph suddenly disappeared. The Destined gasped.

"What's wrong this time?" Metal Garurumon asked.

"Probably a new opponent." Garudamon replied.

"I thought the Dark Masters were the last." Joe remarked.

"Maybe a new opponent appeared while we were fighting the Dark Masters." Osamu shrugged.

"That's possible." War Greymon agreed.

Star Veemon stayed silent with Magna Angemon. Takeru noticed his copedam's silence. Without any warning, the Destined were starting to be deleted from below to top, slowly. Ken; Star Veemon; Miyako, and their Digimon were the only ones that weren't getting deleted.

"What's going on?!" Mimi yelled.

"We're getting deleted, but how and why?" Hercules Kabuterimon asked

"This is no time to ask questions find a way..." Metal Garurumon's figure vanished.

"I don't have one." Hercules Kabuterimon sighed, closing his eyes.

One by one they all vanished, leaving Star Veemon; Miyako; Ken; Jewel Beemon and Aquilamon behind...

"Did they die?" Jewel Beemon asked.

"That's unlikely." Ken replied.

"Then what happened to them?" Miyako asked.

"They were probably teleported through deletion to the new opponent." Ken replied.

"How do we get there?" Aquilamon asked.

"I have no clue." Ken sighed.

"You're quiet." Ken remarked, staring at Star Veemon.

"I'll head off towards Gennai, get some answers and a way to get to them. I'll be back. Wait here for me." Star Veemon explained.

Star Veemon flew off towards Gennai's lake.

"Do you think he'll get the answers?" Jewel Beemon asked.

"I don't know." Ken shrugged, watching Star Veemon disappear into the horizon.

Miyako sat down. "We'll have to wait for him so let's wait."

"It's a pity that the Destined would have to face off against the new opponent alone." Saber Leomon sighed.

"It seems only Destined and their copedam can head to the new opponent." Ogremon agreed.

"Whoever he is." Ken sighed.

"Our job is done here. We'll leave the rest for you Destined." Elecmon nodded.

They all left, leaving Miyako; Ken; Jewel Beemon, and Aquilamon there.

Star Veemon landed in front of Gennai's Lake. Gennai parted the lake and Star Veemon went down it. Gennai opened the door for him.

"I've been expecting one of you to come." Gennai welcomed.

"Hey brother! What are you doing here anyway? Are you my brother?" Victomon asked.

"I'm here to get some answers. It appears that Gennai knew that. For your last question, to some degree I'm still Veemon." Star Veemon replied.

"Why don't you have a seat?" Gennai asked.

Star Veemon looked at himself.

"Thanks, but I don't think so. Besides, I'm in a hurry." Star Veemon replied.

"O.K... If that's the case then I'll tell you what you want. Your friends have been teleported to Digital Space." Gennai started.

"Digital Space? Isn't that... going to kill them?" Star Veemon asked.

"That Digital Space is not like the one in the human world." Victomon replied.

"Exactly. Digital Space is the new opponent's choice of a battlefield. They can breath there. As for the opponent's name: Apocalymon, the Apocalypse Monster. He's stronger and more violent than any opponent you and your friends or even offspring have faced or will face. He was able to penetrate the firewall that protected the Digital World from outside interference." Gennai explained.

"Can he be defeated?" Star Veemon asked.

"Of course he can be defeated! Anyone can be defeated!" Victomon replied.

"Victomon, he's asking me and yes he can be defeated, but only in a special way. Your crests are your inner virtues, even if your crests are taken away from you, you'll still have their meaning and would be able to use it, but as inner energy from yourself." Gennai explained.

"O.K. Last question, how can the remaining group of us get there?" Star Veemon asked.

"You are the key." Gennai replied.

Star Veemon blinked. "What? How?"

"Let me explain. What you have very few or even one has in every dimension. In your case, you're that one person. You and Veemon have the same abilities, but it only increases and is more effective as one: the way you are now. Part of your abilities is creating portals and gateways to other worlds or dimensions, even if they're personal private dimensions. That's not all you have, but that answers your question." Gennai replied.

Star Veemon sighed. "I guess I'll have to find the way myself then. Thanks! See ya later."

"Until next time." Gennai nodded.

"Come back for visits or for other adventures." Victomon requested.

Star Veemon nodded, closing the door behind him. He flew out of the lake, heading back to Spiral Peak...

Miyako stood up onto her legs, noticing Star Veemon.

"He's back." Aquilamon announced.

"We see him." Jewel Beemon acknowledged.

Star Veemon landed close by and walked over to them.

"What did you get?" Ken asked.

"What we need. Our opponent's name is Apocalymon: the hardest and most dangerous Digimon we'll ever face. Our friends have been transported to his special battlefield for this, a place were we can breath normally. As how to get there? That's left for me." Star Veemon replied.

"Do you know how?" Aquilamon asked.

"Not yet." Star Veemon sighed...

"Where are we?" Taichi asked.

"Are we deleted?" Agumon asked.

Takeru started to sob.

"T.K." Patamon whispered.

"We've got to get out of here." Yamato muttered.

"How genius?" Tentomon asked.

"Well... We're not deleted anyway, I don't think so." Koushiro sighed.

"Thanks a lot Koushiro! That's one in a million!" Joe scolded.

"Yeah, thanks a lot." Sora agreed.

"What did Koushiro do wrong?" Silkmon asked.

"Don't ask." Biyomon replied.

"We can't even see each other! Are we going to bump into each other?" Gomamon asked.

The whole group laughed, but suddenly stopped. They all paled.

"If we don't bump into each other and can't see each other then..." Palmon started.

"... We're deleted." Gabumon sighed, slowly.

'One last thing, no matter how much things get intense, never lose hope in your hopes. Hope is something so precious and is excellent company, even in the toughest situations.'

Takeru stopped sobbing once he remembered what Daisuke told him all that time ago.

"At least Daisuke and a few others aren't dead like us." Takeru noted.

"Oh grow up onii-chan." Yamato sighed.

"... No! He's right! Daisuke and the others might be able to get us out of here!" Koushiro cheered.

"How genius? He's too fast and he took us down like flies." Mimi reminded.

"True but... Daisuke; Ken, and Miyako might find a way to bring us back while they face off with him." Koushiro added.

"If they can get there first! Besides, if this was a bet, I would bet that they'd join us anytime soon now." Yamato muttered.

"I'm sorry to say but I disagree." Takeru refused.

"I'm with T.K. Daisuke won't just give up on us like that and he won't go down that easy." Hikari agreed.

"We're with them." Patamon and Gatomon voiced in.

"What makes you believe in that?" Gabumon asked.

"Hope." Takeru simply replied.

"And light." Hikari added...

Star Veemon snapped his fingers as he thought of a way.

"What?" Jewel Beemon asked.

Star Veemon unbuckled his D-3 and aimed it diagonally towards the sky. Star Veemon thought of making a portal to Apocalymon's realm and the D-3 launched a blue beam out of its screen and into the sky: creating a portal. Star Veemon grinned, buckling his D-3 back on. Ken quickly climbed onto Aquilamon with Miyako. Star Veemon; Jewel Beemon, and Aquilamon took to the sky, passing through the portal...

They came out in Digital Space. Apocalymon was ahead of them.

"Apocalymon - Composition Grasl Muzon - Apocalymon is a combination of all the Dark Masters, a fusion of them with some other stuff - His attacks are: Darkness Zone; Total Annihilation; Big Bang; every other attack ever created."

"Shit. This is going to be a tough motherfucker." Star Veemon whispered.

Apocalymon turned to them and saw them.

"Well, well, if it isn't new digi-brats?" He asked.

The portal closed behind them.

"Where are our friends?" Ken demanded.

Apocalymon laughed. "Don't worry; you'll all be joining them soon."

"Give us your best shot!" Star Veemon challenged.

Apocalymon extended one of his arms towards Star Veemon. Just as fast, Star Veemon unsheathed his sword and with lightning reflexes, ripped the arm to shreds. Apocalymon shrieked in pain.

"If that's the way you're going to do it. Take this! Crimson Lightning!" Apocalymon yelled.

'Myotismon's attack?' Star Veemon thought.

He regained his composure though as he used his sword to slice through the attack.

"An opponent worthy of notice you are." Apocalymon remarked.

"Thanks but no thanks." Star Veemon muttered...

"We need to get the others out, wherever they are." Miyako exclaimed.

"I have an idea." Star Veemon grinned, sheathing his sword.

He thought of his friends, wherever they were, and for them to reappear with them. To his extreme surprise, it worked. The Destined reappeared with Star Veemon; Miyako; Ken; Aquilamon, and Jewel Beemon.

"We're back?" Taichi asked.

"Alright Dai and V!" Patamon cheered.

"Let's take this monster down." Yamato remarked.

"He might've destroyed our Digivices and crests, but we'll take him down this time. Ascend to Power!" Koushiro yelled.

"Ascend to Power!" Hikari yelled.

"Ascend to Power!" Takeru yelled.

"Ascend to Power!" Taichi yelled.

"Ascend to Power!" Yamato yelled.

"Digivolve!" The rest yelled.

"TENTOMON BIOMERGE!"
"... HERCULES KABUTERIMON!"

"GATOMON BIOMERGE!"
"... OPHANIMON!"

"PATAMON BIOMERGE!"
"... SERAPHIMON!"

"AGUMON BIOMERGE!"
"... WAR GREYMON!"

"GABUMON BIOMERGE!"
"... METAL GARURUMON!"

"BIYOMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... BIRDRAMON!"

"BIRDRAMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... GARUDAMON!"

"GOMAMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... IKKAKUMON!"

"IKKAKUMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... ZUDOMON!"

"PALMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... TOGEMON!"

"TOGEMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... LILLYMON!"

"SILKMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... WEBMON!"

"WEBMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... WIDOW WEBMON!"

"It can't be." Apocalymon gasped.

"We realized that the crest is our virtue, even with the crest destroyed, the virtue is still part of us. We'll wipe you out for sure now." War Greymon explained.

"The only problem was getting back. Dai and V dealt with that." Ophanimon added.

Apocalymon growled. He extended all his arms towards the Destined and their copedam.

"Mega Electro Shocker!" Hercules Kabuterimon yelled.

"Terra Force!" War Greymon yelled.

"Spike Buster!" Jewel Beemon yelled.

"Blast Rings!" Aquilamon yelled.

"Sephirote Crystal!" Ophanimon yelled.

"Seven Heavens!" Seraphimon yelled.

"Freeze Breath!" Metal Garurumon yelled.

"Wing Blade!" Garudamon yelled.

"Vulcan's Hammer!" Zudomon yelled.

"Flower Cannon!" Lillymon yelled.

"Network Server!" Widow Webmon yelled.

Their attacks destroyed the arms coming towards them. War Greymon; Metal Garurumon; Hercules Kabuterimon; Ophanimon, and Seraphimon flew towards Apocalymon.

"Evil Wing!" Apocalymon yelled.

The mate hybrids avoided the attack, not halting their advance.

"Now! Full Force! Terra Force!" War Greymon yelled.

"Freeze Breath!" Metal Garurumon yelled.

"Mega Electro Shocker!" Hercules Kabuterimon yelled.

"Sephirote Crystal!" Ophanimon yelled.

"Seven Heavens!" Seraphimon yelled.

The attacks smashed into Apocalymon and his body. He screamed in agony and collapsed. It alerted Star Veemon.

"What the..." Star Veemon paused.

"Big Bang!" Apocalymon's voice yelled.

The body completely collapsed and exploded. Without any hesitation, the first eight Destined used their inner virtues to trap the explosion in a cage. The explosion was sent away at top speed...

The realm disappeared as the Destined reappeared on File Island. Gennai was in front of them, with the small train. Ophanimon devolved back into Hikari and Gatomon; Hercules Kabuterimon devolved back into Koushiro and Tentomon; War Greymon devolved back into Taichi and Agumon; Seraphimon devolved back into Takeru and Patamon; Metal Garurumon devolved back into Yamato and Gabumon. Star Veemon flew off; he knew what would happen.

Jewel Beemon devolved back into Wormmon; Widow Webmon devolved back into Silkmon; Garudamon devolved back into Biyomon; Zudomon devolved back into Gomamon, and Lillymon devolved back into Palmon.

"O.K. Chosen, it's time." Gennai informed.

"That's it?" Yamato asked.

Gennai nodded.

"No more enemies to face?" Sora asked.

Gennai smiled, nodding.

"We're heading home!" Takeru cheered.

"We can spend the rest of summer here and considering the time, we can stay for a long time." Taichi smiled.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you're wrong. With Apocalymon defeated, the time turned back to normal, it's at the equal speed as the time is in your world." Gennai explained.

Taichi sweat-dropped. "How long do we have?"

"Two hours before the train leaves." Gennai replied.

"We can use that to farewell our copedam." Joe whispered.

"What are we waiting for then?" Mimi asked, walking away with Palmon; Koushiro, and Tentomon.

The Destined separated with their copedam. They took their time in saying good bye to their friends...

When the time was up, the Destined returned back to the train and boarded it. Some of the copedam were present to see the Destined off. Hikari gasped, realizing that Daisuke and Veemon disappeared again.

"What is it?" Takeru asked.

Hikari smiled. "Nothing."

Star Veemon had devolved back into Daisuke and Veemon.

"I guess you're going then?" Veemon asked.

"What did I say V? Not this time, I'm taking you with me. We'll have to sneak on board before it leaves." Daisuke replied.

"You two are here?" Gatomon asked.

Daisuke and Veemon turned to her. She had Hikari's whistle around her neck and Patamon was with her.

"The train is leaving now." Patamon mumbled, slowly.

Daisuke and Veemon blinked at each other.

"Listen you two; you both can come with us. I'm taking Veemon with me anyway. I'll have to keep you two hidden for sometime though in my house." Daisuke suggested.

"Really?" Patamon asked.

"How are you going to sneak on anyway?" Gatomon asked.

"... I was just wondering the same thing." Veemon agreed.

Daisuke grinned. "Leave that to me and follow my lead."

They rushed out and headed towards the train carefully...

The train was about to take off. Daisuke hastily got under the train and held onto it with his front close to it. Veemon; Gatomon, and Patamon followed. Patamon's hands were too small to hold onto the bar, but with one hand, Daisuke held onto Patamon.

"You wouldn't?" Patamon whispered.

"I would." Daisuke whispered.

The train started moving and Daisuke; Gatomon, and Veemon held on tighter. Coming to the end of the rail, the train flew off into the sunset. The copedam followed them to the end of the rail. They all gasped, but smiled, once seeing Daisuke; Gatomon; Veemon, and Patamon under the train. The train flew into the sun and disappeared...
