"I wonder if Axel is ok." Gatomon said as they looked up at where the plane had been destroyed. Everyone looked depressed. However they needed to continue on their journey to stop Puppetmon.
"Oh well there is always a chance he survived." Wizardmon said. The group had noticed that the streets were empty. Maybe they had all been put in jail but there could've been a much worse fate.
"T.K what do you think happened to my parents?" Kari asked she sounded upset. T.K just looked away. Kari then shook his arm. Tai then gave a glare at T.K. He could tell he wanted him to say something to cheer Kari up.
"Maybe they were never found by Puppetmon. I mean maybe they hid. They know about Digimon so if they were to attack they would know where to hide." T.K said he knew in his heart there was a large chance he wasn't right but at least it was better for her to fight with hope.
"Yeah hopefully everyone's parents have done that." Izzy added. They could finally see the citadel that Puppetmon had made. It looked like a massive tree. They ran up to it and saw a door.
"Should we go through it?" Mimi asked. Ken then looked at Izzy.
"I think we should split into two teams a group of us should move in from the top and another group should move in from the bottom. That way we can surround Puppetmon." Ken suggested. Izzy nodded and then looked over at Tai and Matt.
"The team leaders should be Tai and Matt." Izzy commanded. Tai and Matt then ran to two sides. The rest of the grouped then lined up.
"I think Axel has survived the plane crash. I'm going to go find him." Wizardmon said as he flew off. Kari and T.K both smiled knowing that the person who had sacrificed himself had a chance of still being alive. Izzy then nodded and the two team leaders started to pick out team members. Matt went first.
"I pick Sora!" Matt shouted. Sora then walked behind him.
"I pick my sister Kari!" Tai shouted. Kari went behind Tai. She then looked over at T.K and smiled.
"C'mon T.K you're over here." Matt shouted. T.K ran behind him. Kari suddenly lost her smile she then tugged her brother's arm and pointed over at T.K.
"I pick Joe. Ikkakumon will be a very useful Digimon to us." Tai said. Joe and Gomamon ran behind him. Gomamon smiled.
"I pick Izzy. MegaKabuterimon will be a great asset for us." Matt said. He laughed at the end of his sentence. Izzy and Tentomon ran behind Matt.
"Davis come over here!" Tai commanded. Davis and Veemon then ran behind Tai. Davis was relieved that he wasn't picked last.
"Since I assume my team is taking the top I'll take Yolei." Matt said. Yolei and Hawkmon ran up to that group. Hawkmon looked up to the top of the tree. It sure was long.
"Cody we pick you!" Tai said. Cody and Armadillomon ran up to the group. Armadillomon was eating some food. He then gave his food to Cody.
"I can't eat this..." Cody said. He gave the food back to Armadillomon who continued to eat it like he hadn't eaten anything in years.
"American kid you're with us..." Matt said. Willis then pointed to himself and Matt nodded. Willis and Terriermon then ran over to Matt's team.
"Fine then we'll take the French girl then Matt." Tai said. Catherine and Floramon ran other to Tai's group. Tai looked around to see his sister giving him evils. He knew that she was jealous of her but it would be better than her being in T.K's group. He knew that Kari was going to be paranoid and that it would reflect on her attack. But he also knew that if Kari and T.K were in the same group that they just wouldn't work well. Mimi and Ken were the only people left standing. Matt knew that if he picked Ken he would have a distinct advantage. But if he picked Mimi then Izzy would be happier and she wouldn't have the embarrassment of being last pick. Matt finally came to a choice.
"I pick Ken..." Matt nervously said out. Mimi suddenly looked annoyed. Ken and Wormmon then ran out of the way and hid behind Yolei. Yolei looked at him as if he was an idiot.
"Ok guys we're going to go to the top now... Have fun!" Izzy said. Tentomon had digivolved into Kabuterimon and then had digivolved again into MegaKabuterimon. All of Matt's team then jumped onto MegaKabuterimon. He then flew to the top of the tree. T.K looked down as Kari slowly got smaller and smaller until he couldn't see her anymore. Matt patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry T.K she'll be fine trust me." Matt said. He knew T.K was upset but he couldn't stay upset that could ruin the whole dynamic of the plan. T.K looked at his picture. He then smiled.
"I know I'm going to miss her. I felt like I just found her again. Matt it's so hard." T.K said. A couple of tears dropped from his eyes.
"Don't worry T.K Kari will be fine." Sora added. Izzy then looked back.
"Don't worry T.K soon enough you and Kari will be back together. Hey look theirs Wizardmon!" Izzy shouted and pointed. He had forgotten what he was going to say. Wizardmon was standing on top of a building with two other figures. T.K looked down. One of them was Axel but the other one looked like his old friend from high school. T.K rubbed his eyes.
"Don't worry T.K everything will be ok." Matt said. He was worried that T.K was still upset about Kari. They had finally reached the top of the tree.
"Ok Izzy I think we'll have to break the tree open." Ken suggested. Izzy then nodded.
"Yeah it's not as if they've given us an open door." Izzy sarcastically added. MegaKabuterimon then flew straight into the building. They saw that there was a room full of Mushroomon. Everyone then nodded at each other and all the Digimon started to digivolve. Soon Angemon, Stingmon, Birdramon and Aquilamon all flew down and started attacking. Garurumon and Gargomon jumped off of MegaKabuterimon.
"I really want to help them out..." MegaKabuterimon Izzy just patted his back.
"Don't worry you'll get to attack later but at the moment you need to protect us." Izzy confirmed.
All the Mushroomon had been defeated in that room. The group then landed on the floor. All of the members of the group then jumped off of MegaKabuterimon. All of their Digimon ran up to them. Suddenly the room had a nasty feel to it. It felt like it had darkness in it.
"I'm glad to see that you've all returned... Can you remember me?" A voice said. Matt, T.K, Sora and Izzy turned round to see Devimon.
"Not you again!" Matt shouted. Devimon just smirked at them.
"Angemon digivolve quickly!" T.K shouted. Angemon then started to Digivolve. Matt and Sora then looked at both of their Digimon and nodded. Garurumon and Birdramon then started to Digivolve as well.
"Stingmon attack that Digimon!" Ken shouted. Stingmon then flew up towards Devimon. However He was just punched by Devimon, Stingmon went flying in the other direction. Ken ran over to Stingmon who was now on the floor. Suddenly MagnaAngemon, Garudamon and WereGarurumon finished Digivolving they then went to Devimon.
"Wait you're bigger then I remember." Devimon stated. He tried to attack WereGarurumon but WereGarurumon avoided the attack. Devimon tried to retreat but was stopped by MegaKabuterimon.
"Where do you think you're going?" MegaKabuterimon asked. Devimon then stopped and turned around to see all of the ultimate Digimon behind him.
"You'll never defeat Puppetmon. When you get close to him he'll fire all of the missiles!" Devimon taunted.
"Wing blade!" Garudamon shouted. The fire produced hit Devimon.
"Horn buster!" MegaKabuterimon shouted. His attack again hit Devimon and sent him flying back. WereGarurumon jumped behind him.
"Wolf claw!" WereGarurumon shouted. He then hit Devimon towards MagnaAngemon.
"Gate of destiny." MagnaAngemon said. A portal then opened and Devimon fell into it.
"Guys... I think I've worked out how this place works..." Izzy said as he looked at the ground.
"What is it Izzy?" Yolei said. She was leaning on Ken. Stingmon had turned back into Wormmon.
"I'm sorry Ken..." Wormmon said. Ken just rested him on his shoulder.
"It's ok don't worry about it." Ken said as he petted Wormmon. The group all then turned to Izzy.
"Once we've defeated both sides of the tree we then advance to the middle where Puppetmon is. We need to set a beacon to show we have done it." Izzy explained. Garudamon then produced some fire and set the leafs on top on fire, suddenly their way out shut. They now couldn't escape. It was now up to Tai and his team.
Tai and his team noticed the fire. Tai assumed that it was a sign saying that the other team wanted them to go in. Tai and his team walked in. Kari and Catherine were walking at the back. Kari looked upset.
"Don't worry Kari soon we'll be out of here and you can kiss the guy of your dreams. That's what I intend to do." Catherine said trying to cheer up Kari.
"Who is that for you?" Kari asked. Catherine then blushed and looked back. She then started rubbing her own arm.
"Well that blonde guy you are very close to is. We met in France when the Digimon went everywhere. When I saw him again I fell in love." Catherine said. Kari suddenly looked very annoyed. Catherine wasn't sure what the matter was.
"Me and him are getting married..." Kari said. Catherine looked in shock. She had just admitted her feelings about her dream boy to the one person who would hate her for it. She looked up and Kari looked annoyed.
"Guys catch up!" Davis shouted. They both looked up. Suddenly a gate dropped down. Ian suddenly formed out of a blue aura. He had a huge spear but wasn't metal. Only Kari and Catherine were on the other side of the gate. The others all ran up to the gate.
"You have to have a third. That's the beauty of this." Ian taunted. Kari just looked at Catherine evilly. She looked scared.
"I wish that blonde haired boy was here." Catherine said quietly. Kari then realised that T.K gave off a protective feeling to her.
"When's that third person going to arrive?"Ian taunted. He then laughed at the end.
"Why is it always you?" Kari asked she pretended to look bored. Catherine looked up and saw that she was acting.
"I haven't met you before but I can tell you're boring..." Catherine said. Kari knew she would play along. Suddenly they heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind them. Another gate formed.
"One more person can run through that." Ian claimed as it formed. The group all saw Axel and Wizardmon. Axel had somehow survived the explosion and was there. Another guy was with them. Kari looked back and recognised him.
"Lucas is that you? I thought you died?" Kari asked. The man then nodded.
"I'll explain later." The man said. Ian then started swing his large spear.
"Which one of you is man enough to come in here and face me?" Ian taunted. Lucas started stepping forward but was stopped by Axel.
"He's supposedly British that makes this my fight." Axel walked into the gate and stood next to Kari and Catherine.
"Axel why did you go in?" Tai asked. The rest of the gang all looked confused.
"Well if Ian wants a fight then I think facing someone who is British would be a good idea. Plus I know this guy and I've wanted to get rid of him for ages." Axel said. They all got ready to attack.
"Good luck Axel." Wizardmon said to Axel. Axel just looked back and nodded.
Ian ran at them with all the power in his legs. Kari moved out the way but Catherine didn't. Axel however pushed her out of the way. Ian swung his spear at Axel who ducked under it. Ian started to lose his temper and started to swing it continuously at him. Kari went up behind him and poked the back of his neck. He briefly turned around and looked at Kari. She was smiling at him. He then looked down at Catherine who looked upset. He turned round to Axel who was standing up to his surprise.
"You know Ian. Me and my friend Wizardmon were talking about you earlier. Lucas was as well. Is it true you're trying to become a saint?" Axel asked. He then laughed at the end of his sentence.
"What's so funny? The fact I'm progressing?" Ian asked. He looked confused. Kari then grabbed his spear and threw it over to Catherine. Ian looked in shook.
"The fact that someone like you can be so easily side tracked. For example if you look over there. Joe is over there. Want to say hi to him?" Axel asked. Kari had started to laugh and Catherine was still confused. Ian looked back and saw Joe he waved slowly. He was still confused. When he turned back to Axel. Ian then got punched in the face and fell to the floor.
"Why did you do that?" Ian asked. Axel sat down next to him.
"Whatever you're doing you're always going to get stopped." Axel said. The blue aura then surrounded Ian and he disappeared. The two gates then disappeared as well. The group then all met up. Catherine tried to get up but fell back down again. She looked tired. Tai ran up to her.
"Are you ok?" Tai asked. Catherine shook her head. Her Digimon then ran over to her. Floramon stood there.
"Do you need help Catherine?" Floramon asked. Catherine just nodded. Tai then picked her up.
"What are you doing?" Catherine asked. Tai laughed.
"You need help. I'd do the same for anyone here." Tai said. Catherine just smiled back. Gatomon and Wizardmon were just talking. Kari, Axel and Lucas were all talking.
"Wait Lucas how did you come back?" Kari asked. Lucas looked at her.
"When I supposedly died I just disappeared. When I was at the hospital something weird happened. There was the hole in the wall calling my name. When I walked into it I fell into this universe where all of these creatures were flying around." Lucas tried to explain. Axel looked at him confused.
"T.K will be so happy to see you. He still thinks about you, you know." Kari said. Lucas then nodded.
"I'm assuming you and T.K got together." Lucas said. Kari nodded.
"We're so happy together. I've never been so happy in my life. I do have one question actually." Kari said. Lucas then nodded.
"What's the question?" Lucas asked. Kari then looked back at him.
"When you used to sit next to T.K in chemistry you made that list was I on your so called do list?" Kari asked. Lucas started to laugh.
"I think T.K would've killed me if I had put on the list. But I would not do you." Lucas said. Kari then smiled.
"Thank you for everything you did. If you hadn't then T.K and me wouldn't ever be together." Kari said. Cody walked up to them.
"So how do we revert time back to normal?" Cody asked. Everyone crowded around.
"My research shows that there is an orb. When we destroy it time will revert back to normal. Anyone in the room will remember everything. So that means once Puppetmon is defeated we brake the orb. The time will revert back to normal. My research also shows me that we have someone who is high in your government in there. Well two of them. Puppetmon has control of twenty nuclear missiles. However no matter how damaged everything is everything will revert back to normal." Axel tried to explain.
The group had started walking again. Kari was glaring at Catherine. Lucas, Axel and Cody were talking. Davis was talking to Joe and Mimi. The gang then came to a stop when they came to a dead end. Tai put Catherine down. Kari then looked at her briefly.
"Bitch..." Kari muttered. Catherine gave her an evil look. Kari just closed her eyes. Gatomon looked confused. Floramon then walked over to Gatomon.
"So what is it between you and that cute Patamon?" Floramon asked. Gatomon looked back at her.
"We're together. If you even bother saying what I know your thinking I will attack you!" Gatomon said. Floramon walked away. Gatomon looked up at Kari, Kari just looked back down. They were both feeling worried.
"I'm king of the swingers!" Something shouted. They all looked up to see an Etemon fall down.
"Not you again..." Tai said. Davis looked back at him confused.
"Your music wanted to make me pull out my ears last time I heard it." Joe said. Mimi nodded in agreement.
"You just don't know what good music is." Etemon taunted. Kari looked so lost. Axel just sat there in laughter along with Lucas.
"What are you doing Etemon?" Wizardmon asked. Etemon then noticed Axel on the floor laughing.
"You want to hear my music. I am the king of it." Etemon claimed. Axel got up. He was trying to hold back the laughter.
"You're are a guy dressed up in a monkey costume." Axel said. Etemon ran towards him.
"What are you doing Axel?" Tai asked. Axel just winked at him. Tai then realised that Axel had a plan in his head. Axel then moved out of the way of Etemon who ran full pelt into the wall. Tai then looked at Agumon. Agumon started to Digivolve. Soon Greymon appeared.
"Nova blast!" Greymon shouted. A huge fireball went straight into Etemon. He fell to the ground.
"Man that's one angry monkey..." Axel commented. Everyone nodded. Suddenly a blue aura appeared and Metaletemon's hand came out and grabbed Etemon. It then pulled him in. Soon the roof started to open. Puppetmon fell from it.
"Guys quick Digivolve!" Tai shouted. Soon every Digimon had Digivolved. Angewomon, WarGreymon, Kiwimon, Zudomon, Ankylomon, Lillymon and ExVeemon.
Puppetmon started to attack the Digi-destined. Axel pointed out the orb to Tai. They needed to ensure that, that was destroyed. All they could hear was the sound of their Digimon attacking. Kari then looked up to see the others from Matt's group fall down. However they were all caught by MegaKabuterimon. He then landed them safely. And then flew up to help fight Puppetmon. T.K however wasn't present. Kari looked up to see that he was holding onto one of the holes in the trees. If he was to fall down then chances are he would die. He then fell and grabbed the orb as he fell. He then threw the orb over to Tai. Tai started reading what was on the orb. T.K was hanging onto a cage where the higher up in the government was. MagnaAngemon then grabbed T.K. He then broke open the cage and grabbed the person in there. They were both safely dropped down to the bottom of the tree.
"Hold for at least a minute to get complete control." Tai read out. He then looked up to see that Puppetmon was going to attack him. He then threw the orb over to Joe. Puppetmon went to attack Joe but then was hit by Zudomon. He was then implanted into the wall. Puppetmon then knocked Zudomon back. Zudomon then turned back into Gomamon.
"Axel take it!" Joe shouted as he threw it. Axel caught it and started running with it. Puppetmon then went straight for him. Puppetmon then was hit by an electrical attack.
"Who did that!" Puppetmon shouted. Wizardmon put his hand up. Puppetmon then fired his puppet strings at Wizardmon. Wizardmon and MagnaAngemon then got caught within the puppet strings. He then threw his hammer at Axel.
"Matt!" Axel shouted. He then threw the orb and got hit by the hammer. Matt caught it. Puppetmon didn't waste any time and ran over to Matt.
"Want this Puppetmon?" Matt taunted. He then threw the orb over to Sora.
"Give that back!" Puppetmon shouted. He then pushed Matt into the wall. WereGarurumon ran up behind him but got hit by one of Puppetmon's hammer strikes. WereGarurumon turned back into Gabumon.
"You'll have to work for it." Sora teased. Puppetmon ran over hitting her Digimon on the way there. then turned back into Biyomon. Sora then threw it over to Mimi. Puppetmon then pushed Sora next to Matt. Both of them were in pain. Puppetmon then advanced to Mimi. Lillymon tried to hold Puppetmon back but from a couple of hammer swings Lillymon turned back to Palmon.
"Izzy!" Mimi shouted. Puppetmon swung his hammer at her. She threw the orb as she fell down in pain. Izzy caught it. Puppetmon then threw his hammer as if it was a boomerang.
"This isn't fun anymore!" Puppetmon said. Izzy threw the orb towards T.K.
"T.K catch it!" Izzy shouted, he then got hit by the hammer which then flying back to Puppetmon. MegaKabuterimon then flew straight into Puppetmon. Suddenly MegaKabuterimon changed back into Tentomon. T.K then caught the orb.
"You, you're the one who ruined my house!" Puppetmon accused. T.K then ran away.
"To get the orb you'll have to catch me!" T.K said. Puppetmon shook his head and jumped towards T.K. He then landed in front of him.
"You made a bad move T.K!" Puppetmon shouted. T.K threw the orb to Davis. Puppetmon then threw a punch at T.K and then hit him in the gut with his hammer. T.K went flying into the middle of the floor.
"T.K!" Kari shouted as she ran towards the middle, Davis had caught the orb and now was running away from Puppetmon. ExVeemon then flew up to Puppetmon. Puppetmon however just hit him with his hammer. ExVeemon then changed back into Veemon. Puppetmon then threw his hammer at Davis. He then threw the orb to Cody who caught it.
"How many of you am I going to have to take out?" Puppetmon said laughing at the end of his sentence. Ankylomon then ran up to Puppetmon. Puppetmon just picked him up and threw him into Aquilamon. Both of them then changed back to their rookie forms. Hawkmon and Armadillomon then fell from the wall. Puppetmon then kicked Cody. Puppetmon almost grabbed the orb but Stingmon knocked it over to Yolei. Yolei threw the orb over to Ken.
"Good luck Ken!" Yolei shouted. Puppetmon just insanely laughed and threw his hammer at her. She fell to the floor in pain. Puppetmon then hit Stingmon who turned back to Wormmon. He then stamped on Wormmon.
"This has gone past a joke..." Puppetmon said angrily. Ken threw the orb to Willis. Puppetmon punched Ken. Most of the Digi-destined were on the floor in pain.
"What should I do?" Willis asked. Puppetmon put his hand out.
"Give it to me. Then I'll let your friends go..." Puppetmon said. Willis then just shook his head. He had passed the orb to Lucas. Gargomon ran over. Only to get hit by Puppetmon's hammer. Gargomon then changed back to Terriermon. Puppetmon then swung his hammer at Willis. Willis fell to the ground. Puppetmon then noticed that someone else had the orb.
"Kari destroy this!" Lucas shouted. He then threw the orb that he had taken to Willis over to her. Puppetmon ran over to Lucas.
"You annoy me so much! Any last words!" Puppetmon commanded. Lucas then pointed up. Puppetmon then looked over to see WarGreymon.
"Great tornado!" WarGreymon shouted. He then span around. Puppetmon got sent flying in all different directions. He then started to disappear.
"Please forgive me my lord!" Puppetmon shouted as he disappeared. WarGreymon then reverted to Agumon. While in the attack Puppetmon had done some damage to him. Kari had the orb but wasn't sure how to break it. Tai had got all of their fallen comrades together with the help of the higher up in the government. MagnaAngemon had broken himself and Wizardmon out of Puppetmon's strings.
"Before you destroy it, magna antidote." MagnaAngemon said. All of the group then lost any serious injuries that they had gained from this fight with Puppetmon. Kari looked up at Angewomon and nodded.
"Celestial arrow." Angewomon said. She then shot an arrow right through the middle of the orb. It then smashed.
Suddenly everyone who was there was in T.K and Kari's apartment. Kari then looked embarrassed.
"I thought about our home and then we all came here?" Kari asked. Izzy then heard the sound of ticking.
"We're back to the normal world." Izzy said. They all looked out of the window to see that Japan was back to normal. There wasn't a massive tree in the middle of it anymore. The member of the government then looked at them all.
"Thank you for saving the world from that insane monster." He said. Lucas then looked at T.K.
"Lucas how did you come back?" T.K asked. Wizardmon then poked T.K.
"He did it the same way I did." Wizardmon said. T.K pulled out some champagne and started handing out glasses to everyone.
"I feel that we all deserve this." T.K said. Everyone then nodded. They all knew that tonight they wouldn't have to worry about the world being destroyed.
Meanwhile in another world.
Piedmon had walked into a room where a human figured thing was standing he then knelt down on the ground. It was almost like he was addressing a king.
"My lord Puppetmon has been defeated." Piedmon said.
"It was expected. How is Ian?" The other figure asked.
"My lord he has failed us three times? Why should we keep him?" Piedmon asked. The figure then clicked its fingers.
"Piedmon he has proven me his loyalty. A lot like the rest of you have." The figure proclaimed. Machinedramon then opened the door and walked in. He was followed by Metalseadramon, Metaletemon, Ian who was in his metal form and Devimon.
"We are here my lord." They all said at the same time.
"Here is the plan, we are going to wait for a while, maybe build up our forces. Then we can go in for the kill and destroy these pesky humans." The figure said. Ian looked away. He felt like he had failed.
"I can't stay here my lord I've failed you to many times." Ian explained. He then got up but then got stopped by the figure.
"You've proven your loyalty my saint. Are you all prepared to wait for a while?" The figure asked they all then nodded back. He then smirked.
"What about Lucas?" Ian asked. The figure then looked back.
"When I tell him he'll ruin that couple T.K and Kari. After that the group will split into two. That's when we attack again." The figure said. He sat on a thrown the others all got up and walked. Ian quickly turned back before he left.
"My lord what is your real name?" Ian asked. The figure then laughed.
"My name is Wire. Now get out!" The figure shouted. Ian then left. He sat back in his throne looking over to a television screen it was showing him a picture of Kari and T.K kissing. He then smashed the screen.
