Chapter Six: The Guardian Returns
Cyberdramon walked through the Continent and wondered just where Coronamon would actually be, when he saw the very Digimon that he had been looking for. "Hey Coronamon!" he shouted causing Coronamon to turn as he heard his name and saw his old friend Cyberdramon walking up to him.
"What have you been up to, Coronamon?" he asked hoping his friend wouldn't pick up the scent of being with humans. "Haven't seen you for a while."
"I've been busy." he said narrowing his eyes. "And what have you been doing?"
"Training." Cyberdramon said quickly.
"Really? Come on what have you really been doing?" he asked "You can't lie to me and you know it."
"What do you mean?" Cyberdramon asked "I've been training. How else so you think I've gotten to my ultimate form?"
"You have a human partner don't you?" Coronamon asked.
"WHAT?!" Cyberdramon asked shocked that Coronamon seemed to pick it up. His friend was sharper than he thought he was.
"I know that there are humans here, but I'll never have a human partner." Coronamon said and it was then that Cyberdramon knew that Ryo was right.
"Why do you say that?" he asked "Were you waiting for someone?"
"Yeah I was, but they never came and they aren't going to. I just know it." Coronamon told him.
"How do you know that?" Cybredramon asked "I mean you're right there are humans here, but I wonder if all of them have partners."
"Someone told me that they know what its like waiting for their partner, and that partner never showed up." Coronamon told him, then he realized what Cyberdramon had said. "Wait, what do you mean they don't all have partners?"
"I was near them to gather information and I noticed that one of the didn't have a digimon with them and I know she isn't one of the ones that turn into digimon."
"I guess I could meet this human. They may be my partner, but I hope that I'm not getting my hopes up though. I'd been seen as weak that way."
"Hey do you remember Gatomon?" Cyberdramon asked suddenly sensing her presence.
"Of course, she's my best friend." Coronamon said nodding.
"You know she thought that she would never meet her own partner, but she did eight years ago." Cyberdramon told him
"Really?" Coronamon asked shocked as the same Digimon walked up to them. "Gatomon…"
"It's true Coronamon. I've been exactly where you are now, and I found my partner, although I had given up hope." Gatomon said to her friend.
"Gatomon we should get going." Cyberdramon said suddenly sensing a dark presence. "I'm sure he's listening, or watching."
"Or both." Gatomon said nodding. " But you're right Cyberdramon, we need to get out of here."
"You guys know about him?" Coronamon asked shocked at first, then he shook his head. "No I was sent on a solo mission. He doesn't listen in on what I do. He watches, but doesn't listen. Not usually anyway."
"Coronamon of course we know about you and you would be surprised at what he would do." Cyberdramon said "Right Gatomon?"
"Yeah, let me guess, he sent you on an information and scouting mission, didn't he? Find the Digidestined and learn what you can about them, right?" Gatomon asked.
"I… How did you know that?" Coronamon asked shocked since that was exactly what his boss told him to do.
"Because Gatomon was the same way when we met her. However Wizardmon, Autumn's partner, managed to help her and bring her to her partner." Cyberdramon told him as clouds came and lighting struck.
"Uh-oh, he's here!" Coronamon said shrinking with fear.
"We told you." Cybredramon said then he turned to the train that was coming. "RYO!"
"KARI!" Gatomon shouted as well looking at the train also.
"So I see the traitor has returned."
"Gatomon!" Kari shouted as she ran to her Digimon.
"I'm not a traitor, you are. To the entire Digital World. I found my partner, and I'm sorry that you never did." Gatomon said in defiance.
"Ha, ha well I wouldn't want to be one to a weak human anyway." said Myotismon as Kari turned to him and glared while Gatomon digivolved to Angewomon.
"We're not the ones that feel betrayed and the need to rule their home." Kari said.
"Oh I see, so you want to fight do you?" he asked the girl, but was stopped by Coronamon "Get out of my way you fool."
"No. you sent me to find them, and that ight have been your first mistake of many." Coronamon told him as Taiyou felt a strange connection to the Digimon and slowly walked over to him.
"Are you my partner?" she asked as Coronamon turned to her and felt connected to her.
"I think so." he said.
"So it looks like Piedmon was after all." Myotismon said as he watched the two. "You were the last child, and who would have thought I would have yet another traitor in my forces."
"Piedmon?" Ryo asked shocked "It can't be, we destroyed him."
"I'm no traitor!" Coronamon shouted before Myotismon had a chance to answer Ryo's comment. "I won't be a slave to a Digimon that wants to enslave and rule over the rest of us!" he added as Taiyou's Digivice, which she received when she got there and Corornamon digivolved into Firamon.
"What a fool." Myotismon said smiling. "CRIMSION LIGHTING!" he shouted, however he was blocked by a large red lion. "Impossible! How did the two of them Digivolve so soon?"
"Two?" Ryo asked confused, the he looked at Lunamon and saw that she had digivolved into Lekismon as well.
"I…I don't…Kari what happened?" asked Starla.
"Lunamon reacted to your desire to protect this world." said Kari
"What do you mean?"
"Your hearts are connected." Rika explained. "When the emotions are strong enough your Digimon reflects them."
"You mean Lunamon digivolved because of me?" asked Starla
"That's right." said Leskimon "Firamon you want to handle this together"
"Absolutely." he said. "Fira Bomb!"
"Tear Arrow!" shouted Leskimon.
"Impossible!" Myotismon shouted blocking their attacks.
"Kari, you had better have everyone digivolve to their ultimate or mega forms now!" Ryo told her then he turned to the Tamers. "Rika, Takato lets go!"
"Right!"
"Autumn!" Kari shouted.
"Right! TK lets do this." Autumn said leaving Yuuki out for some reason confusing Kari.
"Got it Patamon Digivolve!" TK shouted.
"Right." he said and digivolved to his ultimate form.
"Rika you guys had better Biomerge. Takuya you guys had better evolve as well." Autumn told them
"Zoe, Tommy beast evolve now!" shouted Takuya.
"Got it. Beast spirit evolution!" Zoe shouted "Zephyrmon!"
"Kouji, Kouichi fusion now!" Takuya shouted to the twins, while JP and Tommy evolved into their beast forms.
"Got it." the two said and the three evolved into their fusion forms, then got ready to fight, but Takuya saw something in the distance that he couldn't believe. However he couldn't get to either of his cousins to tell them.
"Sora! We're going to need everyone's help!" Kari shouted.
"Got it." she said, then turned to Biyomon and nodded, who then digivolved as did the others.
"Oh please you think that a group of Digimon like this will defeat me?" Myotismon laughed.
"You would be surprised." said TK "Right Kari?"
"That's right. Tai Sora, everyone, are you ready?" Kari asked, then she noticed that Yuuki still wasn't there and neither was Dorumon, which confused her even more.
"I'm ready." Tai said bringing Kari back to the battle at hand.
"Me too." Sora said.
"So are we." Matt told her.
"Oh please you won't defeat me." Myotismon told them
"Angewomon are you ready?" Kari asked, however just then Tai gasped and stared past his sister finally seeing what Takuya had seen before. "Tai what is it?" she asked, but he just pointed behind her, so she turned and gasped herself. "I don't believe it."
"It's Azura." Yuuki said shocked herself, but what Kari was more surprised by was Yuuki's sudden reappearance than that of her oddly challenged uncle.
"But what is he doing here exactly?" Autumn asked confused and shocked at the same time.
"And is it good for us or bad for us?" TK asked
"I don't know TK." Kari replied finally coming back to herself.
"In a way both." he said, but it was in a different voice than the one he had before at the fair. It was the same one that Takuya, Kari and Tai had known all of their lives.
"Uncle Yorak?" Kari asked confused.
"Yes. It's hard to explain, but I was a part of the first group to come here. Takuya, Zoe, I believe that you know what happened."
"Yeah, my parents were also part of the first group." said Zoe.
"So were ours." Kouji said shocking the other warriors. "It's why we were chosen in the first place."
"Kouji's right but you… don't…ugh."
"I remember. My parents told me what happened to you." Zoe said. "I don't remember it exactly, but you were cursed or something to that nature."
"Ugh…y…yes and because of that…I could…"
"Become a Digimon?" Zoe asked
"Not exactly." Kouichi said suddenly more serious. "Guys you had better get back away from him."
"Kouichi's right." Kouji said "We've seen this before."
"Seen what?" Kari asked scared for her uncle.
"They're right. You need to get back. I have…n-no…control over Azuramon."
"You mean he's inside you?!" Taiyou asked shocked
"Yes…ugh…Take Firamon and get out of here. I'll stop Myotismon for as long as I can."
"Alright Uncle, but please be careful." Kari said sadly.
"I will." he said as he flew off to face Myotismon.
"Alright then, lets get out of here." Autumn said and they all took off while Yorak blocked Myotismon from following them.
"Hey Kari do you have any idea what happened back there?" asked Starla as they either ran or flew through the air on their Digimon.
"What do you mean?" Kari asked
"About your uncle showing up like that and how he was acting like something was hurting him." Starla said.
"I noticed it as well." Tai said. "Kari you don't think…"
"What Tai?" Kari asked.
"I think he absorbed the Digimon the first Digidestined fought." said Tai confirming what Autumn had been feeling.
"Oh that would make sense I guess, at least as to why seal it. But it's fighting him, trying to take over from inside." Kari said looking down. "Tai we may lose our Uncle.
"I know, but he's fighting it. Although, he's losing badly." Tai said causing them all to look at the two siblings.
"Well it would make sense giving the way he was acting." Autumn said "But Kari, that would mean he was the one that we fought with eight years ago."
Tai looked at Autumn as he thought about what she had just said, then he looked back to his sister. "Don't worry Kari we'll think of something." he said hugging his sister.
"But if he's your uncle, then how do we defeat him?" Matt asked
"Matt not now." Tai told him looking at his sister's back as she continued to hold onto him and he could feel her crying, the tear soaking his shirt. She had been so much closer to their uncle than he had been, so he understood why she was so upset.
"Hey Kari are you okay?" TK asked concerned as he walked toward her.
"I just don't know what to do." said Kari wiping the tears away.
"Look I…uh know this may be a bad time but…um can I talk to you?" he asked. "Alone?"
"Sure, what's up?" Kari asked as Tai and Matt walked away.
"Um…well… I um…"
"What?" Kari asked confused by TK's sudden shyness.
"Um…I really…like you, Kari." he said looking away and Kari blushed, looked down and mumbled something.
"I like you too, TK."
"R-really?" TK asked looking at his friend quickly.
"You actually heard that?" she asked blushing, then she looked up and sighed. "But yeah, I have since last summer."
"So have I." TK told her.
"Really?"
"Yes." TK said "I've always liked you. Ever since we were kids, but I never said anything because I wasn't even really sure how I felt about you until…"
"Kari? TK?" Tai asked walking back over to them. "Is everything alright?"
"Yes Tai we're fine, just talking." Kari answered, slightly annoyed at her brother. He always had the rottenest timing.
"I see." Tai said smiling "I'm sorry but I need to talk to you Kari."
"Alright, we'll finish talking later TK, okay?"
"Alright." TK sighed, then he walked over to his brother
"So what's up Tai?" Kari asked as Tai sighed and looked at his sister.
"You know we may have to fight Yorak."
"I know." she said sadly.
"You know I was thinking…about yours and the others abilities."
"What about them?" Kari asked confused.
"I was wondering when did you guys start noticing them?" Tai asked
"About four years ago, why?"
"That's about the time Autumn met Kouichi and the other warriors, right?" Tai asked curious.
"Yeah why?" Kari asked
"I was thinking maybe it wasn't Azura's sealing that gave you your abilities." Tai said confusing Kari
"What do you mean?"
"I think it was Yorak. You saw the way he was acting earlier, he was fighting it. I think he gave you four the abilities you have now in order to stop Azuramon from taking control of him completely." said Tai as Ryo walked over.
"That would make sense, I guess. Hey Ryo." said Kari, who could tell that he knew that they had been talking about.
"Tai's right Kari." he told her not even wasting time. "I recently found out about the issue and would have told you sooner, but I knew how close you were to your uncle and didn't want to say anything unless I was sure."
"Really? So my Uncle somehow gave us these abilites?"
"Yes." Ryo said. "When he was at the Leaf Fair, I managed to get some data to analyze and that's when I discovered it."
"Do you know how he did it?" Kari asked
"No I don't, which is weird, but I do know that he gave them to you for a reason. I mean besides stopping Azuramon." Ryo told her. "The only way we'll know for sure is if we find him and your uncle is actually in control long enough to tell us."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Azura flew towards the castle thinking about what had happened in the Continent of Darkness and how the human he had absorbed managed to get brief control of him again long enough for the humans to get away. It had only happened once before, right as the five had sealed him away, but he still remembered it like it was yesterday. He remembered waiting and waiting for a partner, watching as all his friends got theirs and soon he was left alone. After a while he decided that he didn't care if he had a partner or not. He started to roam around the Digital world and picked fights randomly just to make something of himself. Until one day he digivolved from his rookie form straight to his Ultimate form, bypassing the champion stage all together. He knew that as Akinemon he would be even stronger and knew that he could fight stronger foes.
Then he met Myotismon and the two worked together. Finally he eveolved into his mega form after he met the digidestiened and he made the mistake of underestimating the eight of them. It was Yorak, the eldest of the eight, that caused him to lose. By sacrificing his life, he somehow merged with Azuramon and they became one. Because of that he was sealed by the middle brother, Susumu.
"You won't stop me this time Yorak." he said looking out the window of Myotismon's castle. "You or your little friends."
"Really? Seems to me like he did stop you the first time you faced these little friends." said a voice in the darkness.
"Who's there?" Azura asked turning around to see a clown like Digimon standing behind him. "Oh it's you Piedmon. What do you want?"
"You know, the same as you." he said "Just those kids out of the way."
"They're stronger than you think." said another voice.
"Onyx, how nice of you to show up." said Piedmon disgusted by the human and his laid back attitude. "Where's Lucemon."
"Cleaning up some unwanted attention." said Onyx "What of Myotismon?" he asked Azura.
"I'm not his keeper. He does what he wants." said Azura looking away. He always wondered why he was fooling around with idiots like them.
"Well excuse me." Onyx said "What's your problem?"
"I think he's just upset that the humans got the better of him." Myotismon said walking in with Lucemon and Quartz "So what do we do with them?"
"Leave the warriors to me. I have a bone to pick with them." said Lucemon "Onyx?"
"Of course." he said and the two left.
"What about the Tamers and the other ones?" asked Azura still looking out the window.
"We shall handle the Tames like before." said Piedmon. "Let's go Quartz."
"Yes I look forward to facing the Tamers again." said Quartz.
"I guess that leaves us with the new kids." said Azura.
"Why do you not sound happy about that?" asked Myotismon. "Is it that boy?"
"SHUT UP MYOTISMON!" shouted Azura "You know nothing of my past, so why don't you go, face them and handle things on your own?"
"Alright then." said Myotismon and he left Azura to his thoughts, with his face slightly amused at the way he was acting. Myotismon knew that because his nephew was there Azura would begin to second guess himself. He just hoped that it wouldn't interfer with his own plans.
"I won't let him get the best of me again." Azura said to himself. "I can't."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile Kari and Ryo were still talking about their theory when Kari finally agreed with them asking her uncle. "I guess we should ask after all, but we don't know where he is."
"That's a good plan." Tai said. "But I don't know that it would work. Azura is a lot stronger than we thought."
"Well it's better than nothing, Tai." Ryo said. "I'll go tell Rika and the other Tamers." he added before either Tai or Kari could answer Autumn walked over. She knew that Tai and Kari would have a hard time facing their uncle, but she knew that if they wanted to get home, they would have to fight him.
"Kari, Tai can I talk to you guys?" she asked.
"Sure what's up?" Tai asked as he turned to her.
"Hi, Autumn what's on your mind?" asked Kari.
"I was thinking about your uncle. Wouldn't he be able to explain what happened eight years ago?" Autumn asked. "I mean why we were able to defeat Myotismon when no one else could."
"Yeah I think he could." Kari said. "What do you think Tai?"
"I don't know you guys. What if he used that scene back there as a way to lure us to him?" Tai asked thinking about how he had been tricked before.
"Don't you remember what dad told us about how he disappeared?" Kari asked "He was one of the originals."
"I know that Kari, but Azura-" Tai started.
"Was your uncle's original partner." Ryo said looking away. Tai looked at Ryo shocked, but didn't say anything. He would confront him about it later.
"The only way to learn anything is to somehow talk to my Uncle Yorak. I just don't see any other option." Kari said stubbornly. "Autumn?"
"You're kidding right Kari?" Yuuki asked walking up to them before Autumn could answer. "Autumn that's crazy."
"Why Yuuki? No one but my Uncle knows what really happened to him." Kari said "And I would like to know as well."
"It may be crazy, but Kari's right. It's the only way we'll figure it out." Autumn told her sister. "Tai, you TK and Kari will come with me to the Dark Continent. Kouichi I know you're going to come whether I like it or not."
"You'd better believe it." he said as Kari just smiled and nodded her head in agreement.
"Ryo you and the other Tamers had better stay here in case something big comes alright, Rika?" Autumn asked knowing how she were to go crashing into things without thinking.
"Alright." said Rika giving into reason for once.
"Okay, the rest of us will split up and see if we can find the other Overlords before they find us." said Ryo "Also since I'm the only one who knows the way out of here besides the Trailmon I'll go get Henry and the others. Since Piedmon is back, it's only right that they be here."
"Taiyou it may be a good idea if you come with us." Autumn said to the girl. She knew that Taiyou had to be confused and would want to know something that only one of them could answer. "Is that alright with you Rika?"
"Yeah, just keep an eye on her." said Rika.
"Rika are you sure?" asked Taiyou.
"I'm sure little sis. I know Kari especially won't let you out of her sight." Rika said.
"Alright then, let's go." Autumn said and her Kari, Tai, Taiyou, TK, Yuuki and Kouichi headed toward the continent once more. However they had only made it a few ways away from the others when Tai saw the very man that he grew up knowing.
"Looks like he came to us." he said coldly.
"Oh boy, here we go." Agumon, who like Tai didn't trust the man coming toward them unlike Kari.
"Hi Uncle Yorak. We weren't expecting you to find us." Kari said
"I have to tell you guys something before I lose control again." said Yorak.
"What is it?" Kari asked
"I gave you and your friends the abilities you have." Yorak told her. "I did it because…"
"Because? Uncle are you alright?" asked Kari worried.
"No he's trying to regain control." said Yorak. "I have to act quickly. I gave them to you because I knew you four were the only ones that could stop Azuramon. Not even me of the others could completely stop him. In the end I was absorbed and your father had to seal me along with him."
"How do we stop him?" Kari asked
"I'm not…I'm not sure Kari." Yorak sighed. "You may have to destroy Myotismon first. When the eight of us originally came here, Azuramon…well he…"
"What?" Taiyou asked
"He was your original partner, wasn't he?" Tai asked shocking everyone except for Autumn Kari and Ryo.
"Yes he was." said Yorak "But I didn't realize it until recently."
"Is there a way to un-absorb you?" Kari asked
"I don't know Kari." said Yorak "I…ugh…"
"Uncle!"
"I don't think so little girl."
"Azura!" Tai shouted trying to get to Kari
"So I take it you've learned the truth about me."
"Azura why are you so negative? You know I was just like you are now until just recently." Coronamon told him
"Whatever, I would never be with such a weakling like a human." Azura said.
"Why not? Humans aren't as weak as you believe them to be. Actually I should have said as Myotismon made you believe them to be." Coronamon said to Azura. "He's the reason you gave up on ever finding your partner isn't he?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Azura shouted, but both Coronamon and Gatomon saw through him.
"Yes you do. I've been where you are as well. I helped Coronamon and we can help you too. We both almost gave up hope ourselves but Wizardmon helped me and brought me together with Kari. Then I helped Coronamon find Taiyou." Gatomon told him as Kari gasped in pain.
"You're lying!" he shouted throwing one of the swords on his back.
"No they're not." Kari choked out as Wizardmon blocked the sword. "You feel lonely, lost and scared."
"No I am not!" Azura shouted again, this time in a panic.
"Yes you are. All you really want is to meet your partner and have a purpose again that isn't filled with hate." Kari told him. "But I'm afraid you absorbed your partner. However, you can meet him if we can figure out how to separate the two of you again."
"W-what do you mean?" Azura asked putting his swords away.
"My Uncle Yorak is your partner. You absorbed him during your battle with him and the others, because of where Myotismon made you feel so negative." Kari explained. "When we figure out how to separate you two you can meet him and be together for the rest of your lives."
"I-Is it true?" he asked looking at the two he knew once worked for Myotismon. "You can?"
"It's true. I don't work for Myotismon anymore, not since meeting Kari." Gatomon told him.
"I also left him recently as well, because I was introduced to my partner and we can help you meet yours." Coronamon said smiling.
"Alright, I believe you." Azura said landing in front of Kari. "I also know how to separate us but we need to…"
"So you have decided to betray us as well?"
"Myotismon!" Kari said glaring. The stupid vampire Digimon had cause so much problems for her and her family and friends. Couldn't he just leave them alone for once?
"Who else would it be?" the vampire Digimon asked smiling.
"Leave them out of this Myotismon." Azura said flying in between his family and his former partner. Then he looked at his nephew and nodded. "Tai get them out of here. I'll meet up with you guys later."
"No let us stay and fight with you." Tai said not wanting to lose his uncle again, but Kari started to pull him away from the fight.
"Tai you have to let him fight. We can help him much better by letting him fight Myotismon, than staying here and possibly getting hurt, which could distract him." Kari told him as she pulled him away.
"But…"
"I know you're worried about him, I am too but he can't fight if we're here too. He'll be worrying about us and get distracted."
"Alright, let go you guys." Tai said finally giving into reason and they took off while Azura and Myotismon faced off.
"You really think that you can stop me alone?" Myotismon laughed.
"I'm not alone." Azura said think about the others and his new friends. "Not really."
"Oh please." Myotismon said "LIGHTING STRIKE!"
"DOUBLE BLADE!" Azura shouted and twin blades of energy shot from his swords shocking both Myotismon and Azura as well since he had never had that attack before.
"WHAT?!"
'Where did that come from?'
'From the two of us together.' Yorak said 'I've been here this whole time, waiting for you and thanks to Kari and the others you finally realized the truth. I was never absorbed, we somehow merged and became Azuramon.'
'You mean you've been with me this whole time?'
'Yes I have.' he said and Yorak could feel the hatered and anger that Azura had been building up for y ears against the humans disappear and he had finally opened his mind to friendship. 'Right now, however we have to face Myotismon.'
'Right!'
"Don't think your betrayal will go unpunished." Myotismon told Azura. "Even if you manage to defeat me the others will stop you."
"I don't think so. AQUA BLADE STRIKE!" he shouted and caused Myotismon to flee. Cursing Azura took off toward the forest station, where he knew Yorak's family would be waiting.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tai paced the castle entrance where they were staying until his uncle could join them, thinking about he felt like he abandoned him. He was starting to get even more worried than before. He knew that Kari was right about them leaving, but her was still worried and felt like he just left Yorak behind. However, the more he paced the floor the more he annoyed his sister.
"Tai just calm down." Kari said finally
"I can't, I'm worried."
"As am I, but pacing and thinking about it doesn't help anything." she said as Tai sighed and looked at her.
"I can't help it."
"Try focusing on something else." Kari suggested.
"Don't bother." Ryo said pointing out the window. "Look."
"It's him!" Tai shouted running out the door and Kari quickly followed him.
"Oh boy here we go again." Autumn sighed, following the others. Ryo had started to follow them, but Rika pulled him back for some reason.
"This is a family thing." Rika told him. "I think they'll be alright now that he's here."
"I think there's more to it than that." said Takato.
"What do you mean Takato?" asked Ryo
"Rika didn't you sense it earlier?" asked Takato
"Sense what?" she asked
"I don't think that Yorak was actually absorbed." Takato explained.
"Oh the Bio Merge." Rika agreed. "Yes I did sense that."
"Wait you guys think…"
"That they Bio-merged, yes."
"Come on you guys. How is it that…?"
"Look at them and you'll see it for yourself." Takato said pointing out to where Yorak Kamiya was standing with a very shocked and confused Tai.
"I…don't…" Tai started confused looking at his uncle and the ultimate Digimon beside him.
"Heh, it's a long story Tai." Yorak told his nephew smiling at his confusion. "Kari I think you understand a little bit."
"I do." Kari agreed.
"Well I don't." Tai said.
"The Tamers can explain it a lot better than I can." Kari told Tai
"Okay…then." Tai said slowly. "What happened to Myotismon?"
"Yorak we need to get out of the open." Akinemon told them before Yorak could answer and he nodded.
"Akinemon's right, but where can we go?" he asked
"We can go into the castle." Kari told him. "It's Seraphimon's anyway so Myotismon nor can the other Overlords get in."
"I don't know…" Akinemon said nervously.
"You're with us and didn't bring anyone with you." Kari said kindly. "They also know we were trying to help and save you."
"I…uh…"
"What's wrong?" asked a confused Taiyou, who had joined them before Rika could stop her.
"I don't think that they would want me around." Akinemon said. "No after what I've done."
"Now why wouldn't we let you in, when you haven't truly done anything wrong?" asked Ophanimon coming to the door to see what was taking them so long. "The only thing that you've done was having been manipulated by a Digimon that is pure evil."
"Uh…alright then." he said following Yorak inside.
"Tai come with me." Yorak said. "Akinemon you explain what's going on with the other Overlords to Ophanimon and the other Guardians."
"Alright." he said and walked to where the other Guardians were waiting, while Tai and Yorak walked to where Rika and the other Tamers were waiting.
"Welcome back Yorak." Ryo said nodding to them.
"Thank you Ryo." he said "Rika can you explain about Bio merging?"
"I can try. Bio-merging is kind of like what the warriors can do but slightly different. With the biomerge technich we become one with our Digimon partner, yet we still have two minds in one body. Two minds that are both in sync yet independent."
"So is that what happened with you Yorak?" Tai asked
"Well sort of." Yorak told them.
"What do you mean?"
"Akinemon and I were indeed merged, however we weren't exactly in sync with one another." Yorak explained, or tried to. "It's actually hard to explain it."
"So what now?" asked Takato.
"I don't know." Yorak said walking away from them a small way. "But I'm sure we're going to find out sooner than we want to."
