The trip over to Britain had been a long one. But they had made it to the coast. However it seemed deserted. There weren't any people. T.K looked over at Izzy confused.
"What happened here?" T.K asked. Patamon was on his shoulder. Izzy looked back and sighed.
"It's seems to be what happened in America only there isn't a wreak here." Izzy commented. Zudomon then Digivolved back into Gomamon and looked up at Joe.
"That was fun... I can't wait for the next few." Gomamon said sarcastically Joe just picked him up. Gomamon closed his eyes. He felt he needed a hug after that long swim.
"This is what happened to my homeland." Ian said as he pulled as sword. Wizardmon looked at him confused.
"What are you doing?" Wizardmon ask. Gatomon was standing right next to him. Like she had been for hours, Patamon had felt increasingly jealous since Wizardmon had appeared. But Gatomon hadn't noticed. The group then decided to have a rest. This was so that Izzy could create a plan of action.
During this break T.K, Agumon, Gomamon and Patamon had all sat in a circle having a conversation. Ian was practicing his jabs while Wizardmon and Gatomon watched. Joe, Ken and Izzy were trying to work out a decent plan of action.
"Are you ok Patamon? You've been acting depressed ever since Wizardmon appeared." T.K said. Patamon was just sitting there. He didn't respond.
"You've got to get in there Pata otherwise she is going to go for him and you'll never stand a chance." Agumon said trying to get Patamon's spirit up. He again didn't respond.
"If they are in love does that mean Ian and Kari will have to be around each other all the time?" Gomamon questioned T.K then looked in shock.
"Knowing Kari she would try to move near Wizardmon. So we need to devise a plan that would stop her from doing so." T.K said as he put his hand under his chin. Suddenly Patamon's ears went into the air. He looked interested.
"So what are we going to do?" Patamon asked. Agumon then looked at him.
"We're coming up with a plan. Though really I would've thought we needed Kari." Agumon said. T.K then put his hand in his pocket to find his picture of Kari. It had been taken. He looked round to see Ian looking at it. T.K then noticed that Ian tried to put it in his pocket. T.K then lost his cool and ran over to Ian and threw a sucker punch at him.
"What was that for?" Ian asked as he got up and punched T.K back.
"Give me back my picture!" T.K shouted. Ian then punched him in the gut. This caught the group's attention.
"She looks like a nice bird doesn't she." Ian said taunting T.K as he was on the ground. T.K got up and then pulled on Ian's red scarf. Ian's face went flying forward into T.K's fist. Ian then fell to the ground. Izzy and Joe then ran up to T.K and held him back.
"Give back my picture!" T.K shouted. Tears started dropping from his eyes. Wizardmon went up to Ian and helped him up.
"I don't have it." Ian said he then chuckled at the end. He then tried to walk away but Ken stood in his way. Patamon was flying next to him; Agumon and Gomamon were standing next to him.
"Give back the picture Ian." Ken said as he put his hand out. Ian then high fived it, and then tried to walk off. Ken however ran behind him and threw him to the ground.
"What the hell are you doing?" Ian asked he got up and ran at Ken.
"Thunder Ball!" Wizardmon shouted. The attack then hit Ken in the back. Ken then fell to the floor in pain.
"Wizardmon what are you doing?" Gatomon asked. He then looked back down at her.
"I have faith in Ian. I know he's Kari's age but he wouldn't steal a picture of her. That's just low." Wizardmon explained. Gatomon then pointed at T.K who had broken down into tears. He was just sitting down on his knees. Wizardmon then looked away.
"Give back T.K's picture!" Patamon demanded. Ian then just knocked the small Digimon away. Wizardmon just turned around and pretended not to notice what Ian was doing.
"I thought you would've helped your old friends. I guess I was wrong about you." Gatomon muttered out. She then ran over to T.K and started patting his shoulder.
"Give back his damn picture you selfish prick! Again you don't deserve a Digimon!" Gomamon shouted at Ian he then tried to bite his leg but Ian kicked him away.
"Wizardmon how can you just ignore this? This might be you one day." Agumon said as he tried to talk some sense into Wizardmon. Ian then knocked Agumon in the back of the head. Agumon fell to the floor. Patamon then flew into Wizardmon.
"What are you doing Patamon?" Wizardmon asked. He didn't look to sure about anything. He felt lost and confused.
"Look your partner isn't a nice per-..." Patamon got kicked in the back half way through his speech. Joe ran over to Gomamon who looked in pain. Joe then looked around to see that everyone apart from Izzy had been hurt. He then got up and walked over to Ian.
"Hey Joe should we get going then?" Ian asked. It seemed like he was pretending that nothing had happened. Joe just grabbed Ian's sword and Javelin and threw them out to sea.
"I don't think we can trust you with those items." Joe explained Ian then punched him in the face. Joe fell to the ground. Gomamon looked up to see his partner fall to the ground. He crawled over to Joe.
"Get up Joe. Wake up Joe... Joe, Joe?" Gomamon asked. Joe was unresponsive Gomamon then put himself under Joe's arm. Wizardmon then looked down at Joe. He then realised what he had to do.
"Ian you have no respect for anyone else. You may have hugged me earlier but from the crimes you have committed today then I know you're not ready for a Digimon." Wizardmon stated. Ian for the first time cried tears. He then turned around and ran at T.K.
"It's all your fault! My Digimon hates me and you're to blame!" Ian shouted as he punched T.K. He then continued to punch him. T.K for some reason wasn't punching back.
"Punch the floor there and open this cell." Izzy overheard someone say. He then punched the floor. Suddenly two sand buildings came up from the side of the beach. Matt and Cody ran out with Tentomon and Wormmon. Matt ran straight up to Ian and sucker punched him in the face. Wormmon ran straight to Ken who was on the floor out for the count. Cody ran over to Joe who was still on the floor as well. Izzy then got unbelievably annoyed. Matt grabbed Ian.
"Izzy if you hit me I'll know you're a freak." Ian taunted. Izzy then put his hand in the pocket where Ian had put the photo that had caused all of this. Matt then saw it was T.K's photo he carries everywhere.
"You stole something from my little brother and beat him up? This does not end well for you!" Matt shouted. He then threw Ian on the floor and started kicking him. Ian soon got up and ran away from the group.
"Weird we don't get tired but when we get hit by something we still get hurt." Izzy said. Matt then ran over to his brother who was on the floor.
"Wow what happened here Izzy?" Tentomon asked. Izzy then just looked at him.
"I'll tell you if you Digivolve." Izzy said. Tentomon then nodded and started to Digivolve.
"What are you doing Izzy?" Wizardmon asked as he walked over to the group. Tentomon then finished his Digi-evolution he was now Kabuterimon. Izzy then jumped onto this helmet followed by Wizardmon.
"I'm going to teach that guy a lesson. You coming then Wizardmon?" Izzy asked. Wizardmon then just nodded.
"Me and Cody will look after the others then." Matt said. Kabuterimon then flew off. Gatomon looked up at Matt and then at T.K and shook her head. She then saw Patamon was trying to follow Kabuterimon. Gatomon just grabbed him.
"Where do you think you're going?" Gatomon asked. Patamon still tried to fly again. He soon gave up and looked at Gatomon.
"I was trying to prove I was as strong as Wizardmon..." Patamon said he sounded upset with himself.
"Why Patamon?" Gatomon asked. Patamon just looked back at her.
"To prove that I could be with you." Patamon faintly said he cheeks went very red.
"Patamon you feel that way about me?" Gatomon asked. Patamon nodded.
"I'm so sorry." Patamon said. Gatomon just hugged him. He didn't know what he said but she was now hugging him. Matt and Cody with the help of Wormmon had got all of the Digimon and people who were in pain together now.
"Patamon you didn't even notice me earlier did you? I cuddled up to you. Me and Wizardmon are just friends. I was hoping we could be something more." Gatomon whispered in Patamon's ear. Patamon just closed his eyes and remained in the hug with Gatomon.
Meanwhile Kabuterimon, Izzy and Wizardmon had found Ian. They flew down to him. He had his head scarf off. He had black hair with a red stripe through it. Wizardmon and Izzy jumped off of Kabuterimon.
"I could kill you all if I wanted." Ian claimed. Izzy then shook his head.
"Don't you get it you may be the same age as everyone here but you act like a five year old. That's why no one likes you." Wizardmon stated. Ian then ran up to Wizardmon and punched him.
"You don't hit Digimon as a rule but then you hit one who befriended you and tried to help you. You're sick." Izzy said. He then punched Ian in the face. Ian fell to the floor in pain.
"Why did you hit me?" Ian asked. Izzy just shook his head.
"Someone needed to knock some sense into you before you started harming innocent creatures. Looks like I was too late." Izzy told him. Ian then ran over and tried to punch him. However Ian tripped onto the ground.
"I'm going to knock some sense into you when I get up!" Ian shouted. Izzy then kicked him in the stomach.
"Let me get this straight? When you run out of things to say you repeat yourself and try to solve it with violence..." Izzy claimed. Ian looked up at him as he slowly got up.
"Bring it on you nerd!" Ian taunted as he ran over to Izzy punching him in the face. Izzy fell on the floor and got back up. He then got back.
"You know you just don't think do you..." Izzy commented he then kicked him in the place that hurts for men. Ian fell to the ground in pain. Izzy just looked down at him...
"Why would you do that to me?" Ian asked. Izzy could see tears dropping from his eyes.
"Maybe you'll have learnt your lesson now..." Izzy said. He then put Wizardmon on Kabuterimon and jumped on his head. Within seconds they had gone. Ian just stood there in shock.
Everyone in the group had woken up and now was eating some food that Matt had found in an empty local shop. He left money there, even if it was the wrong currency. Kabuterimon then landed on the ground near the group. Izzy then jumped off. Wizardmon then jumped off he was hurt but he would survive.
"Where did you go Izzy?" Matt asked. Izzy then looked over at T.K.
"We both know the feeling. T.K lost his photo of him and Kari which I picked up earlier." Izzy said as he picked the picture out of his pocket. It passed it to Matt.
"Me and Cody wouldn't be here if he hadn't got into that fight. But why did you follow him." Matt asked. Izzy then looked away.
"Izzy punched him in the face." Wizardmon coughed out. Everyone looked in surprise at Izzy. He then looked back at them all.
"I know you'd all do the same. I've seen it firsthand." Izzy said shaking his finger at them. T.K then got up and looked at the picture which had been stolen.
"Thanks Izzy. How are you coping without Mimi by the way? I know it's hard to be engaged with someone when you haven't seen them in ages." T.K said. Izzy just looked back.
"I'm finding it so hard. Before this happened I'd see Mimi every day." Izzy said. Matt nodded in agreement. Joe then got up.
"So why are we still waiting here? Shouldn't we move on?" Joe asked. Matt then looked over at Izzy.
"I suppose it would be good if we avoided the master. It's nice that you were on a beach. It saved a lot of time." Izzy said chuckling at the end. Izzy then looked at the sea.
"What's the matter Izzy?" Cody asked as he ran over.
"This seemed too easy. It's almost as if they wanted us to find you quickly." Izzy complained. Izzy didn't hear any responses. He turned round to see Piedmon standing there. All of the Digi-Destined surrounded him.
"There were once a group of Digi-Destined, they once beat me on Spiral Mountain. However I was reborn and thought about my revenge on each one of them. So I stole this country and took the brother of the one who annoyed me the most. The little kid with the green hat, after being locked in another world for years by that annoying angel!" Piedmon told the crowd. T.K then nodded at Patamon he started to Digivolve. Seconds later Angemon emerged.
"Hand of fate!" Angemon shouted as he shot the holy aura at Piedmon. However Piedmon moved out of the way.
"You're going to have to do better than that to defeat me!" Piedmon proclaimed.
"Electro shocker!" Kabuterimon shouted as he fired an attack at Piedmon. Piedmon however moved out of the way. Joe then looked at Gomamon.
"Ready Gomamon?" Joe asked. Gomamon just nodded. Gomamon then Digivolved into Ikkakumon.
"Harpoon torpedo!" Ikkakumon shouted as he started to attack Piedmon. Piedmon however avoided the attack.
"Once upon there was a Piedmon who avoided every attack thrown at him." Piedmon taunted. Wormmon then poked Ken's leg.
"Let me fight Ken. I can help them!" Wormmon asked. Ken then nodded and Wormmon started to digivolve. Soon he was Stingmon.
"Go get him Stingmon!" Ken commanded.
"Spiking strike." Stingmon said as he flew over to Piedmon he tried to hit him with it but Piedmon was too quick.
"Thunder ball!" Wizardmon shouted. The thunder ball then hit Piedmon in the back. He turned round and then got hit by the spiking strike.
"Trump sword!" Piedmon shouted. He then fired his attack at Stingmon who avoided his attack.
"How much energy does this guy have?" Ken asked, Izzy then looked over at him.
"He is a mega Digimon. These attacks are barely hurting him." Izzy explained. Piedmon then laughed.
"None of you stand a chance." Piedmon said. He then laughed at the end of his own sentence.
"Izzy you need to digivolve Kabuterimon again. Otherwise he doesn't stand a chance." Matt said to Izzy. Izzy then nodded.
"Kabuterimon Digivolve quickly!" Izzy shouted over to his Digimon. Kabuterimon just nodded. He then shined a light aura. Suddenly MegaKabuterimon appeared out of the aura.
"This is now interesting. Clown trick!" Piedmon shouted out.
"Hand of fate!" Angemon shouted as he shot another one of his attacks at Piedmon only to have it hit him. Angemon went flying backwards.
"Horn buster." MegaKabuterimon said. He then fired his attack at Piedmon. Piedmon's attack had worn off because of the hand of fate that Angemon had used. Piedmon went flying into the wall.
"Ikkakumon quickly turn into Zudomon!" Joe shouted. Ikkakumon suddenly Digivolved into Zudomon, he then looked over at Piedmon.
"Quick Angemon digivolve!" T.K shouted. Angemon then started the Digi-evolution process.
"Hammer boomerang!" Zudomon shouted; throwing his hammer at Piedmon. Piedmon was hit by the massive hammer and went flying back. Angemon had just finished his Digi-evolution. He was now MagnaAngemon.
"We need to get closer!" MagnaAngemon commanded. Zudomon, Stingmon, Wizardmon and MegaKabuterimon progressed forward with MagnaAngemon leading them. Piedmon was on the ground he was too badly damaged to move. Just before all of the Digimon got there Ian stood in the way.
"Don't hurt him. I've now learnt that hurting Digimon is wrong." Ian said. T.K and Izzy ran up.
"What are you doing?" Izzy shouted over.
"I'm growing up. I'm sorry for what happened before. I think I know what I'm doing now!" Ian shouted over.
"Trump Sword!" Piedmon shouted. He then fired a trump sword into Ian's back. Ian fell to the floor in pain.
"Kill that rubbish clown!" T.K shouted.
"Horn buster!" MegaKabuterimon shouted.
"Thunder ball!" Wizardmon shouted.
"Vulcan's hammer!" Zudomon shouted. All of their attacks then hit Piedmon. Stingmon then flew over to Piedmon.
"Spiking strike!" Stingmon shouted as he attacked Piedmon.
"I feel so useless at the moment." Agumon commented. Gatomon just nodded.
"Gate of destiny." MagnaAngemon said as he created the gate. Stingmon and MegaKabuterimon then picked up Piedmon and threw him in. The gate then closed after he went in. Matt had gone to check on Ian. He had been killed by Piedmon. All of the Digimon apart from Zudomon changed back to their rookie forms. Zudomon ran into the sea. The group then all ran on, apart from Wizardmon.
"You learnt your lesson so I guess you deserve it..." Wizardmon said. Something came from his staff. He then ran onto Zudomon. Zudomon then swam away from Britain. Their next stop was France.
Several minutes later a blue light appeared. Two things came out of it. One of them was Piedmon. The other one wasn't a Digimon. The others were too far away to see who they were.
"So master what should we do with him?" Piedmon asked. He picked up Ian.
"We're going to send him to Australia. You mentioned he said something about that girl... Heck we could play them like puppets. With that we could cause conflict within the group. Five months down the line they won't be able to stop us." The other figure said. Piedmon then looked over at him confused.
"How would we do that?" Piedmon asked. The other figure put his hand on Ian's hand.
"Linking into his mind I can make him think whatever I want. Now that I've erased any memories he had apart from of Kari he will try and defend them from her. The brain is connected all together by nerves. They act like little wires. That is why I have complete control over them." The figure claimed. Ian then opened his eyes. Piedmon put him down. Ian then moved around.
"My lord how long have you been locked in that world that I had been in?" Piedmon asked. The figure just looked back at him.
"It's my home. I was asleep when you came and now I'm here to wreak havoc. I however decided to leave Puppetmon out of our little plan. When he is defeated by them then time will revert back to normal. When the Digi-Destin are spilt then that's when the rest of us attack." Wire tried to explain. Piedmon however looked back even more confused.
"Why Puppetmon out of all of us, why not Metaletemon?" Piedmon asked. The figure just then laughed.
"Please if he hadn't of messed up my plan to begin with none of this would've happened. I wanted him to send Mimi and Matt into that room so that they would kiss. That would've spilt the group up. But no, he picked Tai. That Digimon is nothing more than driftwood to me. However Metaletemon put the blonde French girl in the cage with the others he has proven to me his worth." The figure explained.
"Why do you need me?" Ian asked. His voice sounded faint and he looked so lost.
"You've been selected. Consider yourself one of us... I've patched you up ready to fight. Now before we go anywhere I just want to confirm the girl in your memories is your girlfriend. The man who guys by the name of T.K is trying to kill her. We're sending you to Australia. Failure is not an option. When you have completed your mission you will become one of my saints like Piedmon here." Wire proclaimed. The blue light then reappeared and the three of them walked through it.
The group were heading to France now. They were unaware that there wasn't going to be a challenge in the other countries.
"Izzy we're getting closer to Mimi. Are you looking forward to seeing her?" Ken asked. Izzy then nodded.
"Of course I am. I haven't heard talk in marriage for ages. I can't wait." Izzy confirmed. His smile showed how happy he was.
"Where's Kari T.K?" Matt asked. T.K looked back at him.
"She's in Australia. But on the bright side at least we defeated one of the old four dark masters." T.K said. Matt just nodded.
"Joe. When do you think we'll find Armadillomon?" Cody asked. Joe continued looking out to sea.
"I don't know Cody. I just don't know." Joe replied. He then looked back to see everyone looking at him.
"What's the matter Joe?" Izzy asked. Joe looked at his watch.
"I feel we've been quite lucky." Joe said. Izzy nodded.
"I don't know why but I feel something stronger is forming out of this." Izzy said. Wizardmon was talking to Gatomon and Patamon.
"It's great that your partners are together. Kari and T.K would make a good couple." Wizardmon said. Gatomon then blushed.
"What about the Digimon themselves as well?" Gatomon asked. Wizardmon then laughed.
"I guess it would work." Wizardmon said laughing.
"I wonder how bad France will be." T.K said Matt then looked at him.
"It shouldn't be that bad." Matt said as he patted his back.
"I guess today we learnt that emotions can play a big role in how people will act. Hopefully we'll find Mimi soon so that I can be happy again." Izzy said to himself.
What would've have been several days later the gang were nearly all back together. All they were missing were Kari and Tai with the Digimon Gabumon and Armadillomon. Mimi and Izzy were so happy being back together. Sora and Matt were also happy. Ken tried to ignore Yolei however you could tell that they were both happy. They were finally on their way to Australia however they hadn't been attacked once. But T.K felt that they were just feeling the silence before the storm. Wizardmon was still with the group. He however wasn't the newest members of the group. When they found Davis and Sora they also found a girl from France named Catherine she also had her Digimon with her. They also had an American named Willis who had one of his Digimon with him.
