Everything went fine, until Snimon, Mojyamon, and Drimogemon appeared. Davis and Veemon were captured by the Digimon Emperor. The two new DigiDestined were led to their DigiEggs of Beauty(Payson) and Knowledge(Cody). This revealed their partner Digimon, Hawkmon and Armadillomon. Using the DigiEggs they Armor Digivolved to Halsemon and Digmon. Together, they saved Davis and Veemon. After a days work, they returned home. Can the new DigiDestined defeate the Digimon Emperor? Find out in this chapter of 'A New Destiny Arises'…
The school day ended, signified by the final bell.
"The classroom's empty." Patamon whispered. "I think it's safe to come out now."
"Hold on." whispered Gatomon.
"I'm still taking the spelling test." Nalamon added.
Sounds of footsteps approached. The three In-Training digimon hid in an area under one of the computers.
DemiVeemon sniffed the air. "Smells like Davis." he whispered.
Davis opened the door, "Are you saying I stink?" he asked.
DemiVeemon jumped out of the hiding place. "It is! Davis!" he jumped into his partner's arms.
"Did you guys have a good day at school?" Davis asked, smiling and hugging his In-Training digimon.
"Where's Payson?" Poromon asked.
"Yeah and Cody too." added Upamon.
"Don't worry about them." Kari said.
"They're on their way over." Catherine added on.
Payson came running up the hallway and into the Computer room. "Sorry I'm late guys." she caught her breath. "I grabbed some goodies from Piper. She told me that Digimon need this to keep their energy up."
"She's right." Rini informed. "In-Training Digimon are bottomless pits."
Payson dropped the sack on the ground, but the new digimon just stared. Patamon grabbed a packet of yogurt and tore it open, and drank it. The In-Training digimon followed, and couldn't eat the sweets fast enough.
"This is the best thing I've ever eaten in my whole life!" Upamon jumped up and down with excitement. "All two days of it!"
While the Digimon were busy eating, the kids were ready to leave for the Digital World.
"Wait we can't leave yet." Kari told them. "Cody isn't here."
"Well where is he?" Davis asked. "Doesn't he know he's holding us up?"
"Last I saw he was in the lunch room." Payson told them. She opened up the computer and found the DigiGate, ready to leave.
"Why don't we watch some TV to pass the time?" Rini suggested.
"Sounds like a plan to me." TK agreed.
Davis clicked the remote and a special news broadcast was on. They started with the results of a computer programming contest, which the winner was boy genius, Ken Ichijouji.
The DigiDestined watched the broadcast as their Digimon partners ate the goodies for them. They listened as the reporter gave some information about Ken.
"He's a champion in Judo and a star on the All-State Soccer Team." said the reporter. "And girls, he's single." the report showed Ken kicking a goal during a soccer game.
Payson sighed, watching the report.
"I heard this kid is so smart, one time he gave his teachers homework." Cody informed.
"Cody, when did you get here?" Kari asked.
"About a minute ago." Cody answered.
Catherine turned the TV off. "I believe we're ready to go back to the Digital World." Nalamon said.
"Let's get going." TK voted.
"Yeah. We're all present and accounted for." Rini added.
"Forget all this talk about genius'." Payson chuckled. She held her red Digivice up to the computer screen. "DigiPort Open!" she said.
The screen glowed blue and the DigiDestined headed back to the Digital World.
In the town of Tamachi, Ken was walking down the streets, ignoring the whispers of other citizens. He walked to his apartment complex, and into his home.
"Ken, your home." greeted his mother. "I'm going to work now, I'll just leave your snack on the table."
Ken ignored her, somewhat, and went straight to his room, closing the door behind him.
The Digimon Emperor was doing what he normally did. Looking for more digimon to ensnare in his Dark Rings. He singled out a very frightened Elecmon. The red and purple mammal digimon ran away, whimpering.
"Ohh a chase, what fun." the Digimon Emperor chuckled. He whistled and a Tuskmon answered his call.
Tuskmon ran after Elecmon, and the Digimon Emperor whipped him in close enough range. After capturing him, the Digimon Emperor took Elecmon to a Coliseum, locking him in a cage.
A few feet away, a trio of Gotsumon were watching.
"He's caught another digimon." said one Gotsumon.
"They all change once he's put the Dark Rings around them." another one added.
"If he thinks he's gonna catch us." followed another, "he's got rocks in his head."
"Then again, so do we." said the second one.
"We've gotta run." voted the third Gotsumon.
"We can't abandon our friend, Elecmon." said the first Gotsumon.
The trio watched as one Dark Ring controlled Elecmon was fighting the recently captured one. One Gotsumon snapped a tree branch, grabbing the Emperor's attention. Two Gotsumon were captured and forced to fight, while the other one watched from afar, crying.
The DigiDestined landed in the middle of the forest. The three In-Training digimon were now back at Rookie level.
"They're back to normal." Cody pointed out.
"Yep." replied Armadillomon. "We change back when we return to the Digital World."
The Digivices began to beep.
"More DigiEggs?" Biyomon asked, flying by Rini's shoulder.
"But we already have ours." Davis said.
"So who could the new DigiEggs be for?" Payson asked.
"We'll never know." Catherine replied. "Unless we look for them."
"I'll do anything you want Cat." Davis voted.
"So where are these new DigiEggs?" Nalamon asked.
"The Digivices say, this way." TK answered, pointing down the forest path.
The group walked down that way, towards the new DigiEggs.
The Digimon Emperor's black digivice began going off, signifying that the other DigiDestined had arrived.
"It's those darn kids again." He growled.
The DigiDestined continued down the forest path.
"Hey, it's getting pretty dark in these woods." Davis noted. "Here, Cat, I'll hold your hand so you won't get scared."
"I'm not scared." Catherine interjected.
"And it's not her hand, it's mine!" TK corrected.
"Oh, sorry, T.J." Davis sighed.
"And that isn't his name." Catherine added.
"It's T.K." Kari finished.
Davis sighed again. "Whatever."
The group of teens continued to follow the path. Their signals on their digivices reading that they were close to the new DigiEggs.
"Where do you think you're going?" came a booming voice. A holographic image of the Digimon Emperor suddenly appeared. "You can't just sneak into the Digital World. What do you think this is, a movie theater or something?" he asked. "Besides only the DigiDestined are allowed in the Digital World."
"We are the DigiDestined!" Kari yelled.
"You? The DigiDestined?" the Digimon Emperor laughed. "That's impossible."
"What do you mean?" TK asked.
"Yeah?" added Rini. "Why can't we be?"
"It's simple." replied the Digimon Emperor. "Based on the laws of physics, I have determined that only perfect human beings can be DigiDestined, and of course I am the only perfect human being."
"Oh yeah big shot?" Davis questioned.
The hologram faded and the real Emperor appeared on the shoulder of a Tyrannomon. "You are trespassing where you do not belong." he yelled. "Evacuate the premises immediately."
"The landlord told my uncle the same thing." Davis replied. "We have every right to be here as you." TK added.
"Everything in this world belongs to me, now all of you get out!" the Digimon Emperor grew frustrated.
"Try and make us!" Payson yelled.
"Get them Tyrannomon." ordered the Digimon Emperor. "He's one of the most powerful Digimon. His Blaze Blast attack incinerates his enemies."
Tyrannomon fired his attack as ordered.
"Ready Davis?" Veemon asked. "Get him." Davis ordered. "DigiArmor Energize!"
"Veemon Armor Digivolve to…Flamedramon: The Fire of Courage!"
"See this is why I'm the genius and you're not." said the Digimon Emperor. "You keep using the same attacks against me, yet I keep coming up with something new."
Flamedramon fought Tyrannomon, who seemed just a bit stronger.
"Now Payson?" Hawkmon asked, looking at his partner.
"DigiArmor Energize!" Payson screamed.
"Hawkmon Armor Digivolve to…Halsemon: The Wings of Beauty."
Halsemon fired his 'Eagle Eye' attack, stunning Tyrannomon for a brief second.
"Think you can beat me with a little addition?" asked the Digimon Emperor. "How do you like multiplication."
Four more Tyrannomon appeared, surrounding the DigiDestined.
"Ready Armadillomon?" Cody asked.
"Yep." replied the digimon.
"DigiArmor Energize." Cody yelled.
"Armadillomon Armor Digivolve to…Digmon: The Drill of Knowledge."
"Why not let us digivolve so we can fight?" Gatomon asked.
"Yeah." agreed Biyomon and Patamon.
"What are you so afraid of?" Nalamon asked.
"As longs as I have this Dark Digivice, none of you will be able to digivolve." said the Digimon Emperor. "You four are useless, I might as well destroy you now."
"Leave them alone!" TK shouted.
"This jerk has gone to far." Rini growled, clutching a white and pink heart shaped brooch.
"Let's show him just how we feel." Catherine voted, holding out a white and lavender heart shaped brooch.
"Silver Crisis Power!" they both shouted. In a flash of white, pink, and lavender light they became Sailor Mini Moon and Sailor Melody.
A couple of Tyrannomon attacked the four remaining Rookies. The force struck them and sent them into a nearby tree.
"I thought that cats were always supposed to land on their feet." Patamon and Biyomon groaned. "Oh shut up." growled Nalamon and Gatomon.
The four digimon dodged another attack from another Tyrannomon. Digmon shielded them, taking on two Tyrannomon.
"We don't stand a chance like this." Cody said. "We have to find the other DigiEggs."
"But we don't even know who they belong to Cody." Payson replied.
"It doesn't matter." Davis shouted. "It's worth a shot."
Cody headed straight, followed by TK, Kari, Melody, and Mini Moon. Their digimon following.
The group came to a cave, and decided to hide from the Tyrannomon following them. The DigiDestined caught their breath.
"What's that over there?" TK asked, noticing four objects towards the back of the cave.
"Are they DigiEggs?" asked Mini Moon.
"But what are the symbols on the front?" Melody asked.
"One is the Crest of Light." Kari noticed. "The others are the Crests of Hope, Love, and Melody. Come on." she ran towards the eggs.
"Great! What do we do now, wait around for a new kid to come along and lift it so another new Digimon will be born?" TK asked.
"But there aren't any more DigiDestined left." Mini Moon said.
"Then these DigiEggs must belong to the four of you." Biyomon replied.
"Go 'head and try to lift them." Patamon encouraged
"But we already have our digimon." Melody said.
"Just do it." Gatomon ordered.
The four gave in and approached the DigiEggs. As they did, a glow came from their pockets. They pulled out their Digivices, and they changed.
"Wow." sighed the two scouts.
The four DigiDestined picked up the DigiEggs with their respected Crest symbols, and lifted them with ease.
"Patamon Armor Digivolve to…Pegasusmon: Flying Hope."
"Biyomon Armor Digivolve to…Phoenixmon: Burning Love."
"Gatomon Armor Digivolve to…Nefertimon: The Angel of Light."
"Nalamon Armor Digivolve to…Leopadramon: The Guardian of Melody. "
Pegasusmon resembled an orange flying horse with an off-blonde mane and golden armor and the crest of Hope engraved on his breastplate.
Phoenixmon had pink fur with blue tipped tail feathers, sparkling blue eyes, and a silver armored head plate engraved with the crest of Love.
Nefertimon resembled a white, Egyptian sphinx with silver armor and shimmering white wings. Her tail had purple stripes and purple tips. The crest of Light was etched on her back.
And lastly, Leopadramon resembled a tan sphinx with ice blue spots. She had black wings, and orange and black armor. Her front paws were covered with silver gloves. Her eyes were ice blue and the crest of Melody was etched on the back of her breastplate.
"They were able to armor digivolve." Cody sighed, his eyes full of the shock.
The four DigiDestined were excited about seeing their new Armor Digimon.
"Nefertimon you're beautiful." Kari sighed, stroking her digimon's side.
"And the best part is, now they can fly, we don't have to walk anymore." Sailor Melody added, rubbing Leopadramon's side.
"Well don't get too excited Cat." replied Leopadramon.
"Our wings aren't broken in yet." added Nefertimon.
"This is incredible." Sailor Mini Moon exclaimed, hugging Phoenixmon.
"Our very own Armor Digimon." added TK.
"Now what do you guys say about going back to the others?" asked Phoenixmon.
"I say, let's go." said Kari.
The DigiDestined climbed aboard on their digimon, Cody riding on Pegasusmon.
Payson and Davis, along with the digimon were backed against a cliff edge, the three new digimon back in their Rookie forms.
"Hey Payson! Davis!" called Sailor Melody.
The four new Armor Digimon flew to the battle scene and landed. Veemon, Armadillomon, and Hawkmon were shocked to see the new digimon.
"That's Pegasusmon. He's one wild horse." said Armadillomon. "When he attacks with his 'Star Shower, his enemy will be blasted into outer space."
"And that's Nefertimon." added Veemon. "She's quite a shock when tossing those 'Rosetta Stones' of hers."
"Along with them is Leopadramon." followed Hawkmon "She is a flying, fighting machine with nine lives, and can chill her enemies out with her 'Blizzard Rain' and 'Arctic Winds' attacks."
"And lastly there's Phoenixmon." added Armadillomon. "A flying beauty for sure. Her 'Flaming Tempest' attack is a storm you don't want to be caught in."
The Digimon Emperor dismounted one of the Tyrannomon as all five lined up, ready to attack. Each one let out their flaming attack, but the four new Armor Digimon dodged last second.
Nefertimon and Pegasusmon circled each other and the armor over their front legs began to glow. As they crossed paths, a golden rope was created. The same happened with Leopadramon and Phoenixmon, except the rope was silver.
The four Armor Digimon tied up the Tyrannomon and attacked them, destroying the Dark Rings around their necks. After that, they reverted back to normal.
The Tyrannomon walked off as the sun set, but Kari managed to snap a good picture of them before they left.
"Alright gang, let's head home." Davis voted.
The DigiDestined agreed and headed back home. After their long day, the group diverged and headed back to their own respected homes.
TK and Rini walked down a quiet sidewalk, holding their digimon like stuffed animals.
"Do you think we can beat the Digimon Emperor TK?" Rini asked.
"I'm not sure, but we'll give it our best shot." TK replied. "But the problem is, we've never faced another human like us before."
"But until we do defeat him, he'll just continue to terrorize the whole Digital World." Biyomon chirped.
"So we'll just have to stop him before it's too late." Patamon said.
"I'm sure we'll find a way." Rini sighed.
"I know we will." TK put his hand on Rini's shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile.
Catherine and Payson walked up the sidewalk to their small house.
"So our Digi-Team is complete, now what?" Payson asked.
"Well we keep forgetting the big fact that the Digimon Emperor is still human." Catherine pointed out. "So we're going to have to fight differently."
"Different how?" Payson asked again.
"Maybe we could try to find out his human identity?" Poromon suggested.
"That's easier said then done." Nalamon said.
Payson sighed and opened the door, the two girls stepped through quietly.
"Long day?" came a voice from the couch.
The two teens and their digimon jumped. The voice belonged to Piper, who was sitting on the couch, her guitar over her lap.
"You scared us Piper." Payson sighed.
The older, former, DigiDestined chuckled. "Just making sure you guys came home safely."
"Right." Catherine said. "And yes it was a long day."
"Bedtime girls." Piper stood up and smiled.
The two teens returned the smile and headed into their rooms. Piper followed, heading into her room and shutting the door.
All the DigiDestined, new and old, settled down for the night.
Will the DigiDestined find out the human identity of the Digimon Emperor? Find out in the next chapter of A New Destiny Arises…
