Digimon Adventure X: Episode 10- Battle of the Wolves: The Cry of Friendship

Kiba lay on his bed looking at his Red D-4 wondering about his Digi-Egg. Gabumon was curled up on the floor next to Kiba's bed. Kiba really hated nights like this he was all alone while Hotaru was out on a date with Taka. Kiba put down his arm that was holding his Digivice and let out a sigh. "Hey Gabumon?"

"What is it Kiba?" Gabumon asked his partner as he sat up.

"Do you think it's possible that the Digimon Empress is Nami?" Kiba asked Gabumon.

"Well I don't know, it might be." Gabumon answered him as he climbed up onto the bed as Kiba sat up. "Why do you ask?"

Kiba shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe I have this feeling that the Empress is Nami and that she's just letting out her anger over her parents splitting up."

"You really miss her don't you?" Gabumon asked him.

"Yeah." Kiba nodded his head.

Kiba and Gabumon sat in the quiet darkness of the room for a minute only to have Kiba's Digivice start beeping. Kiba jumped a bit as he pulled out his D-Terminal. "It's the Empress again." Kiba told Gabumon as he rolled his eyes.

"Big surprise." Gabumon commented as the two walked over to Kiba's computer.

Kiba tossed his D-4 in the air, and caught it. "Digi-Port open!"

Digital World, Prison Cell

Thing were not looking good for the adult DigiDestineds. It had been a week since the Digimon Empress took Agumon as her prisoner. Everyone worried that their Digimon might be next. Davis sighed as he kicked the wall, 'Daichi please hurry.'

Digital World, Mirage Island, Green Forest

Ami's heart skipped a beat as her computer flashed a trace of their parents' Digivice signals. "We are on Mirage Island!!" She exclaimed to the other.

"We are?!" everyone else asked her.

"Yes I just picked up our parents' signals!" Ami said as tears started forming in her eyes.

"Well then Tally Ho!" Daichi yelled as he pointed in the direction of the signal.

Prison Cell

Ken's laptop let out a beep as 14 flashing blue dots appeared on the screen.

"I don't believe it." Izzy said as he watched the 14 dots start moving towards them.

"What is it Izzy?" Kari asked him.

"I think the kids just found us." He informed the other.

"See I told you my son would come save us." Davis commented.

Empress' Fortress

The Digimon Empress smiled as she watched the DigiDestineds walk right into her trap. She stood up and started for the door, "Come Michimon let's go greet our guests."

"Coming Mi Lady." Michimon said as she quickly followed the Empress out of the computer room.

Green Forest

Kiba sighed as the group walked. He, Mika, Shino, and Keiji held up the rear of the team.

"Why do I have a feeling that this is some sort of a trap?" Shino muttered.

"Because this is too good to be true." Kiba told the 8 year old boy.

Suddenly the team was surrounded by Woodmon, Vegiemon, Floramon, Kunemon, and Kuwagamon.

"Told you so." Kiba commented as the Digimon Empress appeared in front of them.

The Empress was on a back of what looked like a blue wolf whose tail was rolled up and wore a red scarf.

"Welcome to the Green Forest DigiDestineds." The Empress greeted them with cold laughter. "I had a feeling you would walk right into my trap."

"Where's our parents?!" Daichi yelled at the Empress.

"Somewhere here on Mirage Island. But you already knew that not only from Agumon, but Ami's laptop."

Kiba pushed his way through so he could face the Empress. He had enough with her games.

"You seem to know a lot about us for someone who can't be much older than me." Kiba said to her.

"Oh and aren't you a know it all yourself?" The Empress snapped back at him.

"Yeah so what if I am? I guess that just means you can only be about ten, right Empress?" Kiba mocked the Empress' huffing action.

"I don't have time for little boys who don't know their place in front of royalty."

The Empress had moved just right that Kiba could see the Digimon standing behind her.

'That looks like a female version of Gabumon! Could she really be Nami?' Kiba thought as the Empress turned around to leave.

"Have fun playing with my mini Digimon army here DigiDestineds." The Empress bided them good-bye. "Gaogamon let's go."

"Wait!" Kiba yelled as he and Gabumon ran after the Digimon Empress.

"Kiba!" Hotaru yelled after her brother as she and Taka started to run after him, but a Kuwagamon stopped them.

"Don't worry about Kiba, Hotaru. He can hold his own weight." Leiko told the worried girl.

"I know, but he doesn't have his Digi-Egg yet." Hotaru commented.

"Then we'll just have to defeat these creeps a little faster and go help him. Digi-Armor Energize!" Leiko yelled.

"Right behind you! Digi-Armor Energize!" Taka and Daichi yelled as they nodded to each other.

"Digi-Armor Energize!" Karu and Tomi then yelled together.

"Are we going to join them?" Biyomon asked.

"Yeah, Digi-Armor Energize!" Hotaru yelled as she nodded her head.

"Armadillomon Armor Digivolve to Ketsumon! The Power of Determination!"

"Agumon Armor Digivolve to Firedramon! The Flames of Confidence!"

"Veemon Armor Digivolve to Flamedramon! The Fire of Courage!"

"Patamon Armor Digivolve to Pegasusmon! Flying Hope!"

"Gatomon Armor Digivolve to Nefertimon! The Angel of Light!"

"Biyomon Armor Digivolve to Kyuukanmon! The Flight of Love!"

Michimon looked back to see Kiba and Gabumon following them. "Mi Lady it seems that one of the DigiDestineds mange to escape and is following us."

"What's this? Well, well looks like Kiba is faster than I thought. Gaogamon stop and turn around." The Empress ordered.

Kiba stopped seeing that the Empress' ride was turning around, causing Gabumon to run right into him.

"Well, well I would have expected your sister, Taka, Daichi or Sam to be the one following me. I guess you just had to prove me wrong."

"Why are you doing this Nami?" Kiba asked.

Michimon gasped at the fact that Kiba had called the Empress by her actual name. 'How did Kiba find out? Or better yet did he figure it out on his own?' She thought as Nami gripped her whip.

Kiba smirked a bit, "That's your name isn't it, Nami?"

"Shut Up!" Nami lashed Kiba with her whip. "I am no longer this Nami you speak of!!"

"So you are Nami Kamiya." Kiba said as he rubbed his stinging cheek which was red from Nami's whip.

The Empress jumped down from Gaogamon. "I know nothing about this Nami Kamiya you speak of little boy, but my real name is Nami."

"Don't do this Nami, I know this isn't you." Kiba tried to talk to the little girl inside of the Empress' shell.

"I said SHUT UP!!" the Empress yelled as she lashed her whip at Kiba again.

Kiba put his right arm in front of his face causing the whip to wrap around it. The Digimon Empress tugged on the whip, but Kiba pulled it away from her. The Empress stood there fuming. Tears started to form in her eye, but Kiba couldn't see them because of her glasses. Suddenly a chill ran down Kiba's spine.

'Are you really going to let this little low life boy get the better of you?' A deep dark voice filled the part of the forest where Kiba and the Empress where at. 'Do not let him in! He will only fill your heart with more pain! You are the Digimon Empress! I gave you this power! Do not make me regret it!'

"Whose voice was that? Who are you working for Nami?" Kiba asked.

"I call no one Master. They shall call me Master!" the Empress told Kiba as she side kicked him in the stomach.

"Kiba!" Gabumon called out to his partner who gripped his stomach in pain.

"Stay back Gabumon!" Kiba told his Digimon to stay where he was as he blocked the Empress' next kick and gave her one of his own kicks. "Nami please don't listen to that voice anymore! Come back to the real world with us!"

"Why are you doing this Kiba Ishida?" Nami asked him.

"Because I am your friend!" Kiba yelled at her as the tree next to them start glow a light blue.

"What the?! The Digi-Egg of Friendship!" they both yelled in amazement.

The Digimon Empress jumped back away from Kiba, "Gaogamon attack them now!"

"Spiral Blow!"

Gabumon ran to push Kiba down causing the attack to miss him.

"Nami please forgive me. Digi-Armor Energize!" Kiba yelled.

"Gabumon Armor Digivolve to KitaKisunemon! The Cry of Friendship!"

Gabumon had Digivolve to a handsome metallic blue fox Digimon with three tails. The tails and his paws seemed to have ice flowing from the ends of them and around his neck he wore a spirit seal rope.

"You are not sorry to do this. You are jumping for joy to defeat me." The Empress said.

"No I'm really not Nami." Kiba told her as KitaKisunemon moved to attack.

"Spiral Blow!" Gaogamon attacked.

The wind attack hit KitaKisunemon and had no effect on the ice fox.

"Now it is my turn." KitaKisunemon said to the blue wolf as he started to charge for him.

"Ice Dragon Blitz!" KitaKisunemon turned into a white ice dragon and rammed right into Gaogamon causing the ring of darkness to freeze and break.

"Nami wait!" Kiba yelled at the Empress as she left.

"Kiba if you really were my friend you wouldn't tell the others about this. Till next time DigiDestined." The Empress waved not even turning around to face Kiba as Michimon ran after her.

"Kiba forget about her. We've gotta go help the others." KitaKisunemon told him as he faced the other way from the Empress.

"Yeah I know." Kiba said as he climbed up onto his armor Digimon's back.
