Sorry for the late post my apology and explanation is below.

No I don't own digimon….Though I think this is pretty dam good…

Chapter 14 A Stronger Courage, A Joining Friendship

A light from the sun slowly setting over the horizon settled on both digimon, their armor glinting in its fading light. A beautiful hue took over the sharp blue and a mix of purples and pinks helped paint a better picture to the bloodshed that had already unfolded. Paildramon got to his feet a little dazed, but none to worse for the wear. BlackWarGreymon was quite powerful much more than he thought and realized, even in his weakened state he was more than a match for him. Paildramon not the most powerful of Digimon made up for his lack of strength with speed. He would have to be the wasp to the spider and stay out of the way.

BlackWarGreymon wasted no time in attacking again as he sent a giant ball of energy towards the dazed defender. Though Paildramon easily dodged it, as the attack went into the sea with an enormous explosion of water and steam. Sparing no time to look at the fireworks that he had created, BlackWarGreymon charged Paildramon his claws fully extended. Though Paildramon with neither the strength to block the attack directly nor the time to get out of the way, took the offensive as he used his cable crusher attack to catch BlackWarGreymon off balance and instead of hitting Paildramon he hit air causing him to fall flat on his face.

Annoyed, BlackWarGreymon spun back onto his feet and prepared to attack where his foe should have been though Paildramon was no longer in sight. Looking around in a complete circle he saw nothing.

"He is not in front of me" muttered BlackWarGreymon "He's not to my right or left and he's not behind me and not above me" he said as he moved his head in the respective directions "so that means he has to be below…." Though before he could react as the realization hit him cables shot out of the ground gripping his arms holding him in place firmly as Paildramon shot up from the ground kicking him squarely in the jaw. Flipping over with his momentum on top of BlackWarGreymon landing behind him he spun around shooting his blasters placed on his hips into BlackWarGreymon's back at point blank range.

BlackWarGreymon screamed with pain falling to one knee his back smoking from the recent attack. When the smoke dissipated a small crack was clearly visible in BlackWarGreymon's armor as small pieces of it fell away. BlackWarGreymon stood up as the pain took away to a greater rage. Twisting his claws to grip the cables spun around his biceps with all of the force he could muster he threw Paildramon via the cables up in the air until the line reached his limit. Then with the whiplash he spun the hero into the ground.

Paildramon struggled to get up from the attack as he got to one knee. Panting from the effort to stand he looked up and was horrified to see a giant ball of energy zooming towards him. Just before the attack hit him he wondered how BlackWarGreymon had the energy to send off that large of an attack in his weakened state.

"PAILDRAMON!!" Davis and Ken screamed in unison. They both ran in the direction of their joined partner though they were stopped as Tai grabbed Davis's collar and Matt did the same with Ken.

"Davis your no help to anyone if you and Ken get killed trying to help him. Just stay put!" barked Tai.

"BlackWarGreymon is going to KILL HIM!! I HAVE TO HELP HIM" Davis yelled back struggling to get free from Tai and Ken did the same as Matt's grip on him turned from a grip on his collar to a full nelson as Ken tried harder and harder to break free.

Davis began yelling "How are we supposed to do this? No help no crests just us against every enemy this is suicide we are all gonna get killed."

"Now you did not really think I was going to leave you guys by yourself" said a voice from behind them. Everyone turned around surprised, they had all gotten desperate, who was this. Gennai stood above them hovering in the sky a brilliant white light surrounding him.

"Gennai you finally came" whispered Izzy

"What do you think I was going to leave you all alone" Gennai laughed.

"Well you certainly made a late entrance" muttered Tai.

"It took me awhile to get the power restored back into the crests and I needed to wait awhile before Azulongmon and the other sovereigns gave me the permission to bring them back. Though here they are your crests, Courage, Love, Friendship, Sincerity, Knowledge, and Reliability." He said passing them out to each of there respective owners.

Tai jumped with joy and ran over to Koromon. "Hey buddy lets go ultimate" he laughed dangling the crest in front of the In-training digimon's face."

Koromon bounced up and down laughing with pleasure at the ability to reach ultimate finally would happen. Tai placed his crest in hand and his digivice in the other hand.

"READY KOROMON?!"

"KOROMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TOO…………KOROMON" The lights dissipated and Koromon stood there with a sour look on his face. "Tai it doesn't work I can't feel the crest's power"

"What do you mean It doesn't work?" said Tai downcast.

"I can't feel the power of the crest there's something wrong"

"Let us try Tai" said Matt, picking up his crest and digivice "Gabumon lets do this"

Gabumon turned around "GABUMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TOO…………GABUMON"

He two appeared from the lights with a sad look on his face. "Koromon is right guys the crests power can not be felt."

"What is going on Gennai?" whimpered Izzy.

"I don't know the power is there I saw Azulongmon power them up myself." Shrugged Gennai

"They do work" Said Ken reaching into his pocket pulling out his glowing crest and showed it to everyone else. Wormon and Veemon used it to go Paildramon."

Davis looked over to the crest and remembered something, the first day, his first day.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Look at that!" gasped Agumon

"It's got the crest of courage on it" muttered Tai "Is it an egg?"

"I've never seen an egg with a spike in it" said Agumon

"Musta been rough on the chicken that laid that thing" muttered Gatomon

"Let's have a closer look at this thing" said Tai moving in attempting to pick it up, but before he could even lift it a brilliant orange light engulfed him and the cave that he was in.

"Ahhhhh!!" screamed the Digimon and Tai as the orange light began to dissipate turning into three little balls of orange light

"They look like fireflies" stated Tai bluntly "Or really fast ones" he scoffed as they quickly disappeared out of the cave.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Ha Ha very funny, so were those things Digimon?" said Davis embarrassed that he had been so frightened from the Numumon coming out of the vending machine.

"Yep and theres tons of other ones too a lot cuter than those." Said Kari

"And a lot scarier ones too…" said TK.

"Do they all come out of vending machines?" questioned Davis

"There really close bye" Said Tai "There" he said when he saw them.

"TK!!" yelled Patamon with joy flying into TK's arms.

"Patamon boy am I glad to see you" TK laughed scooping Patamon up into his arms.

"Hey guys glad you could make it" Said Tai overjoyed

"Tai, I told those guys you'd be alright" scoffed Davis in his usual arrogant tone

"Davis what are you doing here?" said Tai stunned

"Kari!!" cried Gatomon

"Gatomon" laughed Kari though then she noticed the tail ring missing "Your tail ring…tell me what happened"

As Gatomon recapped what happened to her tail ring the group made there way towards the cave that Tai and the digimon had just come from.

"One day this bossy human appeared and began turning digimon into slaves, he said 'I'm the digimon emperor' I heard were all going to have to punch a time clock too!" whimpered Gatomon clearly upset at what was going on.

"What another human you mean someone else comes here besides us? There goes the neighborhood!" moaned TK

"Ya.. and hes got this weird new dark digivice that makes us unable to digivolve."

"Show her yours" Said TK turning towards Davis.

"Huh? Oh.." Said Davis fishing out his new toy out of his pocket flashing it to TK and then showed it to Gatomon. "This one?"

"That's it your work for the Digimon emperor!!" Gatomon cried.

"What I don't work for anyone besides mines not dark I just got this thing when it came out of the computer."

"So that's what came out of the egg when I touched it three new digivices, but why did Davis get one what's his purpose in the digital world, and more importantly who got the other two digivices?" said Tai thinking to himself.

"Hmmm what is that thing it looks like a deflated beach ball. No wonder its got a spike through it." Said TK

"Ya plus its heavier than my moms meatloaf." Scoffed Tai as TK went to pick it up. TK pulled up with all of his might though nothing happened.

"It won't budge" he gasped with effort.

"Move aside this is a womans job" scoffed Kari who tried aswell though she had the same effect as TK which was nothing.

"To bad we don't have a woman here to help." Said a sighing TK.

"Guys I pump iron all the time let me do it!" yelled Davis. He stepped up to the egg and pulled it right out of the ground. "See what did I tell you, light as a feather."

Everyone stood confused looking at Davis and then back at the spot that Davis had just lifted the egg. Though as they stood there an orange light began to emanate from the hole in the ground that had appeared when Davis lifted the egg. The light turned into a beam as it shot up into the cave. Though more amazingly from the beam a blue, humanoid digimon with long sharp ears, as well as a white chest and face, and a tail popped out of the hole and levitated in the orange beams hue. Then he noticed Davis and leapt from the place where he hovered and began running around the frightened boy.

"Woohoooo free at last free at last you moved the digi egg!!" he said bouncing up and down finally he calmed down and held out a hand to Davis "Hi my names Veemon but you can call me Veemon"

"I'm Davis" muttered Davis.

"I've been waiting a very long time to meet you Davis"

"Ummm I think you have the wrong guy…" muttered Davis taken aback.

"Nope you're the one alright because you're the only one who was able to move the digi egg of courage."

"That's right even though I have the Crest of Courage I couldn't move the Digi egg, but Davis could…" thought Tai

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I was the only one able to move the Digi egg's of courage and friendship yet Tai and Matt are the owners of those crests. Maybe these weren't the only things Tai passed down." He thought to himself fingering his goggles. "Maybe I now own the crest of courage and the crest of friendship, maybe like the eggs only I can access these, that's why Ken can use his crest his is new."

"Tai, Matt, let me see your crests" he yelled.

"Davis this is no time for any of your stupid macho junk we need to be serious or Paildramon won't be the only one in trouble." Said Matt harshly

"Just do it trust me for once I have gotten you this far" groaned Davis. Tai and Matt both flipped their crests to Davis who took them in his hands. At first nothing happened and Tai and Matt rolled their eyes, but then just as Tai was about to make a remark, the crests began to glow with a similar light that Ken's had. Davis looked up with his ridiculous grin all over his face. He then looked towards Ken and nodded as both boys turned and stood side by side and faced the wounded Paildramon.

"Paildramon" they shouted as the glow dissipated from the crests and moved towards the digivices. And when the two met Paildramon lit up in a glorious light.

"Paildramon Mega Level Digivolve too….. Imperialdramon"

Davis turned to face Tai and Matt who's mouths were agape as well as the other digidestined. "What to Macho for you?"
