T.K was sitting there writing on his laptop. It was ten o'clock on a Monday morning. T.K was in his apartment still. Kari had gone to work. Gatomon and Andromon had gone with her in case anything went wrong during the day. Patamon was sleeping on the desk. Elecmon was sitting on the chair looking at the door in case anyone came in. T.K decided to take a break and take a look at the news. He then sat down on the sofa and turned the television on.
"There has been some breaking news! Over Europe the sky opened up for a couple of minutes. Creatures then fell from the sky and caused chaos!" The news reporter screamed out. T.K and Elecmon looked at each other in shock.
"Hang on the sky opened? That sounds like Wire to me." T.K said. He sounded deep in thought. Suddenly there was a large smashing sound outside. T.K and Elecmon ran to the window to see Wire's blue aura in the sky. Thousands of Digimon were falling from the sky. Patamon was now awake and was looking out the window with them.
"We need to get all of the others. At least then we stand a fighting chance!" Patamon commanded. T.K nodded in agreement. Patamon and T.K looked down to notice Elecmon looking at a clock.
"What's the matter Elecmon?" T.K asked. He looked up at the two of them confused. Clearly whatever he was looking at had confused him.
"The clock has stopped ticking." Elecmon said. T.K quickly pulled out his watch and looked at it. He noticed that his watch had stopped as well. It was doing what it had done before when time had stopped.
"We need to get the others!" T.K commanded. He then ran out of the door followed by Patamon and Elecmon.
They were now by the road. Izzy and Tentomon were running across it as well. T.K ran up to Izzy and poked his back. Izzy stopped and turned round. He had his laptop in his arm.
"What the hell is going on?" T.K asked. Izzy quickly looked at the screen on his computer.
"It looks like Wire's world has started the attack, anything that was created inside it is now falling out." Izzy said as he explained to T.K what had happened.
"What are we going to do about Axel, Ian and Willis?" T.K asked. Izzy then nodded.
"I've sent them all emails. They will be travelling here by Whamon." Izzy said cheerfully. T.K's phone then started to go off. He saw it was a text from Kari. It told him that she had met up with Tai, Yolei, Sora, Matt and Mimi who were in that area. T.K and Izzy now had to find Davis, Cody, Joe and Ken.
"Right we need to find some of the others!" T.K shouted out. The two then noticed that they weren't where they were standing before. In fact all they could see was blue. They'd seen this colour blue before. It was the same that Wire's team used whenever they teleported away.
"I look at my computer screen for one minute and this happens?" Izzy sarcastically asked. The two then decided to look around. They then started to walk forward. After a walk that would've lasted half an hour they saw four cages. One of them was empty. The other three contained Metalseadramon, Machinedramon and Piedmon. The three Digimon looked like they had been zapped of all of their energy.
"Hang on we killed Piedmon. I can remember." T.K said, he looked shocked. Piedmon then looked up at the two of them. He looked worn out.
"Wire cloned all of us. Every Digimon attacking your world at the moment is a clone of the original." Piedmon quickly said. The sound he gave off gave the impression that he was tired.
"We can't do much anymore. Any attack we had has been taken away. However we need you to get out of here safely. So that you can guide the holders of the new crests to safety." Metalseadramon said. A light then flew into Patamon and Tentomon. The three Digimon that were in the cages started to disappear. A third light then went into the sky.
"Our time in this world is done. May the Digi-destined save the world..." Machinedramon quietly said. The three Mega digimon had almost disappeared. Elecmon then patted T.K on the back. The dark masters had completely disappeared. They were now small bits of data making their way back to a broken Digi world.
"What was that power that they were talking about?" Elecmon asked. Patamon turned round to see a temple. It had the symbols of knowledge and hope on it. T.K and Izzy held their D-3's into the air and a light opened the door to the shine. The two walked in with all of their Digimon.
The corridor they were walking down was very dark. There were only a couple of touches around so it was poorly lighted. Izzy had turned his laptop off and had put it in his laptop bag. This was because he couldn't receive messages from the outside world. T.K was worrying about Kari in what seemed like an endless corridor.
"This place is long and I'm feeling tired..." Patamon whined. The group continued walking. Patamon fell to the floor. Elecmon and Tentomon went back and picked him up. It was almost as if the two Digi-destined couldn't hear the complaint that Patamon had said.
"What the heck is up with those two? They usually talk all the time." Tentomon said. The three Digimon looked at each other confused.
"On a positive note thank the lord Whamon is not here because we wouldn't be able to walk through here then..." Elecmon sarcastically said. His attempt of trying to cheer everyone up had miserably failed. The three Digimon looked at each other all depressed.
"T.K stop for a second! Boom bubble!" Patamon cried out. He then fired a bomb bubble at T.K who then fell over. He hadn't intended for that to happen but he was just so worn out that he couldn't aim straight.
"Kari would think I was weak if she saw this..." T.K muttered to himself. He then quickly got up and continued walking. The three Digimon then started to walk. They then all saw Izzy dropped to the floor as well. But he quickly got up as well.
"I wonder what they are doing?" Tentomon asked. Elecmon looked over at the two Digi-Destined and noticed something. There was a small light shooting from the floor. It was a small dim light that was in front of both of them.
"Hey Tentomon what's that small light over there?" Elecmon asked. Tentomon flew over to Izzy and saw the light coming from the floor as well. He looked up at Izzy to see that Izzy wasn't pulling an expression. Tentomon had seen this before.
"We need to destroy the floor however we can't do it with three worn out Digimon..." Tentomon said as he flew back to the others. His spirit sounded crushed. Within one day the human world had been attacked, three of the dark masters had died to open up this shine and the two Digi-destined with them had been brainwashed and were now following a never ending light.
"I suppose I've finished the job. You can turn the light off now!" A voice claimed. Izzy and T.K soon snapped out of the brain washed state they were in and ran back over to the three Digimon. T.K and Izzy quickly distributed food and drink that they had between them to the three Digimon. The three Digimon now had some power back.
"Who do you think stopped them?" Tentomon asked. The other two Digimon just shrugged. Suddenly there was a stomping sound. The five looked over to see KingEtemon standing there.
"That's KingEtemon watch out for his king monkey wrench attack, this guy is the king of the kings." Patamon said. T.K and Izzy then nodded at their Digimon. It was the nod to suggest that it was time to attack. Patamon and Tentomon then digivolved into Angemon and Kabuterimon.
"Guys we need you to digivolve into your ultimate forms!" Izzy commanded. Angemon then looked back at the both of them.
"We would if we had enough energy. However that is not the case!" Angemon shouted back at the both of them.
"Ok then we'll run then! That way at least there is a chance we'll make it out of here alive!" T.K shouted. Izzy then nodded in agreement.
"There is a good chance we are near the end of this corridor. So guys let's get out of here!" Izzy shouted. Suddenly the two champion Digimon changed back into their rookie forms. However there was a light shining off of them.
"What's that?" Elecmon asked. Patamon and Tentomon felt all of the energy coming back to them that they had lost. T.K and Izzy then looked at their Digivices. Both of their Digivices they were both giving off a light. Suddenly both Patamon and Tentomon started to Digivolve.
"Are they warp Digivolving?" T.K asked. Both T.K and Izzy looked shocked. The two Digimon then finished Digivolving. They were now Seraphimon and HerculesKabuterimon. The corridor then lit up. If they were to look on the walls they would see the symbols for hope and knowledge all the way across it.
"Sure you two have grown big but you can't defeat the king!" KingEtemon proclaimed as he ran up to one of the Digimon to attack.
"Mega electro shocker!" HerculesKabuterimon shouted. Suddenly an electric beam hit KingEtemon in the stomach and he went flying back. He then got himself back up and ran towards the bug Digimon.
"Strike of the seven stars." Seraphimon said. Seven spheres of light then went flying into KingEtemon who went flying back again. He then got back up from the attack as if it was nothing. He then walked forward.
"Ok how are we supposed to defeat this king monkey?" T.K nervously asked. Izzy then chuckled nervously.
"I, I don't know T.K..." Izzy quietly coughed out. T.K's jaw dropped he had never seen Izzy lose his cool like this before.
"So you're telling me the guy who used to come up with all the plans hasn't got one?" T.K asked. Izzy then looked at KingEtemon and saw some strings dropped from the ceiling, it was almost like he was a puppet being used to keep them busy. Or maybe Wire had thought that they would attack the stomach so he strung him up. Izzy then realised why KingEtemon was like that.
"I know how we defeat him!" Izzy shouted out. T.K then looked over at him and laughed nervously a tiny bit.
"It'd be nice to know now! I'm sure when I next see Kari she'll want me in one piece and when you next see Mimi she'll want you in one piece!" T.K nervously shouted out.
"It's simple really. What I noticed is this place seems to take away a lot of energy if you're having negative thoughts. However when we have positive we thrive off of it, since it mainly affects the Digimon then they become too weak to move. However since Wire can control what happens in this universe because it is his own then he can make the Digimon attack! A bit like Puppetmon he uses stings to control his team!" Izzy shouted out. He was trying to explain it but T.K and the others couldn't make sense out of it. While this had been going on. The two mega Digimon T.K and Izzy had with them were holding the line and stopping KingEtemon from attacking them.
"In English Izzy!" HerculesKabuterimon shouted. Izzy then nodded.
"Aim for the strings that are holding KingEtemon up. After that he shouldn't be able to attack!" Izzy shouted. The two Digimon then nodded at each other. They had worked out a strategy to ensure that KingEtemon's strings could be cut. HerculesKabuterimon picked KingEtemon and threw him into the wall. Seraphimon then flew up to KingEtemon and pulled out his Excalibur he then started to cut the barely visible strings. About ten minutes later KingEtemon broke out of the attack. HerculesKabuterimon then went flying into the wall. He then tried to use his monkey wrench attack on Seraphimon. But then KingEtemon fell to the ground.
"What is happening to me?" KingEtemon asked. Elecmon then electrocuted him.
"You're out of energy and out of luck!" Elecmon gloated. The KingEtemon then started fading away. However this wasn't like the normal Digimon death. He had a blue aura around him. This suggested to them that this was one of the clones made by Wire to attack. Once the KingEtemon had disappeared they looked over to see a shrine. The corridor had finally finished.
"Wow what is this place?" T.K asked as he ran forward. HerculesKabuterimon and Seraphimon had turned back into Tentomon and Patamon. Izzy and the rest of the group then walked forward. It wasn't anything like they'd seen before. Izzy looked up to see the symbol of knowledge carved into one side and the symbol of hope carved into another.
"I have a feeling we're suppose to show our Digivices to those two symbols. Maybe it'll stop whatever is happening..." Izzy said. He wasn't sure whether he was correct but he knew it was worth a shot. T.K and Izzy held their Digivices to the symbols. Suddenly an area around the main part of the shrine fell down. Water then came up from it. They looked up to see light shining though the stainless glass windows. The shrine was alive once again. They then saw a stone tablet come up. T.K ran over and started to read it out.
"May the holders of knowledge and hope open this shine to release the crest of protection, may the holder put other people's lives in front of his to ensure their safety. May this power be one of the many crests that help defeat Wire in any onslaught he may have created. This crest was once held by a warrior who went by the name of Sirius to help bring an end to Wire's tyranny. If this gate is unlocked by people who haven't got their own crests on them then may they be regenerated when the holder of protection arrives." T.K read out. Izzy looked into the water to see a familiar Digimon submerge from it. It was Whamon.
"Whamon what are you doing here? I thought you were getting Ian, Willis and Axel." Izzy said. Tentomon then flew onto Izzy's shoulder.
"Well I got Ian back with his Guilmon and Willis to Japan nut then a blue aura appeared and took me away." Whamon said as he nervously tried to explain. He then opened his mouth and Wizardmon walked out. Axel followed him out.
"Next time Wizardmon I'm going by plane..." Axel sarcastically said as he walked out. Wizardmon then looked around. He had seen this place before.
"Where are we?" Wizardmon asked. He felt like he had seen this place before, sure it had been briefly but still it felt weird.
"This is the shrine of protection. Basically we're looking for one of the new destined to pick up this crest..." T.K sarcastically said as he tried to explain.
"I've been here once before. I came here just after I died." Wizardmon said. Axel however had gone to inspect the writing on the stone tablet. Patamon then flew over to Axel and noticed his Digivice was glowing.
"Axel what's up with your Digivice?" Patamon asked. Axel then picked up his Digivice that was hanging off of his belt. The group looked back as Axel pointed it to a symbol on the wall. The wall then opened and a bridge then appeared. T.K, Izzy and Axel walked across it. They came across another tablet.
"When this crest is taken you'll have three choices. Select the right path to ensure that you make it back to your home universe. Selecting the wrong one could lead to all of your deaths." Izzy read out. Axel put his hand out to pick up the crest. T.K then slapped his hand away. Izzy looked over at T.K confused.
"We're are not taking the crests. If we take the wrong way then we'll be stuck here forever!" T.K shouted at Axel and Izzy.
"So hang on let me get this straight you would rather the world goes wrong and gets destroyed? Just so you can spend a couple of more hours with Kari? You're such an idiot sometimes T.K." Axel said. T.K then tried to throw a punch at him. Axel however moved backwards which meant T.K's punch didn't hit.
"You don't understand what love his you're only eighteen!" T.K shouted at Axel. Axel then moved back.
"T.K have you lost your mind?" Axel asked. T.K then ran at Axel ready to throw another punch but was stopped by Izzy.
"T.K what would you rather do? Save the world and spend thousands of more days with Kari or just spend most likely a couple more hours with her. Boy I best she would love the story about why the whole universe is being destroyed because you weren't man enough to pick up a cre-..." Izzy then got punched in the face by T.K in the middle of his speech. T.K had broken down. T.K then ran over to Axel and tried to punch him but was stopped and pushed into the wall.
"T.K what the heck is wrong with you?" Axel asked. Izzy then looked up to see some strings attached to T.K. Izzy slowly pulled himself up.
"It's those strings! We need to cut them to break him free!" Izzy shouted. The two then tried to cut them off. However T.K had pushed himself up and had pushed both of them out of the room. Izzy and Axel were caught by Whamon. T.K soon jumped out.
"You guys try to cut the string on T.K, it's amplifying his emotions ten times what they'd usually be!" Axel commanded as he tried to explain. The Digimon would more than likely do a much more effective job. Elecmon and Patamon held him down while Tentomon cut the strings which were attached to T.K, T.K soon found himself returning back to normal. Izzy and Axel were back on the bridge now. T.K then ran back up to both of them.
"Sorry about that I got caught in some strings." T.K said as he tried to apologise to the other two destined.
"So now can we get our crests? We'll then logically pick a way out." Izzy suggested. T.K and Axel both nodded. They walked over to the area where the crests were held. All three of them then grabbed them. They walked back out to the main part of the temple.
"So we need to find a way out." T.K said. He sounded worried. Axel then patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry you'll be back with Kari soon." Axel said. He then walked over to Wizardmon and patted his shoulder as well.
"So how do we pick which way we go?" Izzy asked. T.K shook his head.
"We only know about one exit and that's in front of us." T.K said. He sounded worried. They all knew the risk of doing this but it was the only way to stop Wire.
"Well we'll have to find the others. Whamon check under the water to see if there are any exits under there." Izzy commanded. Whamon then went under water to take a look. Patamon had flown up to one of the windows. He then noticed that there were three indents in the wall.
"Hey what are these for?" Patamon asked. Tentomon then flew up to take a look at them as well. Suddenly a green aura surrounded all the Digimon in the room.
"What's going on?" Tentomon asked. All of the digimon then disappeared. The three Digi-destined then looked at each other confused.
"Ok so we need to get out of here without Digimon?" T.K complained.
"Well since we don't have Digimon it'll be based off of our own strength. It's like a test of worth..." Axel said deep in thought.
"Ok then we need to take a look up there where Patamon was looking." Izzy commanded. Axel then started climbing up the wall.
"I'll check under water then." T.K said. He then dived into the water. Izzy then took a look at the way that they had come in. About ten minutes later Izzy, T.K and Axel were creating a plan of action in the middle of the room.
"So both the other exits have locks that we have to put these crests into?" Izzy asked. T.K and Axel nodded.
"From the looks of it we'll have to take the front door if we want to defeat Wire." Axel said. The three of them then ran through it. The corridor seemed empty. They then came to a stop, they saw a course had been created for them to run through. Izzy turned around to see the door had shut behind them. It had a writing written on the wall.
"You have picked the correct path, now you must show you're worthy for your crests. Hope, Knowledge and Protection. The course you see in front of you was made by the hero of all three of these crests. To pass this test you must ensure that one of you makes it across. When the person makes it across everything will revert back to normal and you'll be able to leave this room." Izzy read out. T.K saw that it looked like a complicated maze.
"Ok then so I assume we have to make it to the end." Axel said. T.K then looked down a narrow drop that was right in front of them.
"So how are we suppose to get over there?" T.K asked. Izzy then looked above them, there was a rope that they could grab and walk across with.
"Hey look a rope over there, maybe we could use that to climb across." Izzy suggested. The three then grabbed the rope and started to climb across. They looked down to see that there were holes in the ground. If they were to fall down any of them then chances are that they would most likely fall into a pit of spikes.
"Just think if we all fall we'll be dead anyway..." T.K said. He sounded worried. Izzy had never seen T.K this scared before. I mean T.K usually acted like a strong person, it was almost as if he was facing his darkest fear.
"Calm down. We're almost across. Dude you're such a whiner sometimes." Axel said. The group finally made it over. They had been stopped by a door. It had both the hope and protection symbol on it. Izzy then noticed some writing on it.
"To get past the wall may the holder of protection find the right hole. When activated the holders of hope and knowledge may move forward." Izzy read out. Axel then grabbed the rope again and started to climb across. He then came to a stop.
"Wish me luck!" Axel shouted over. He then fell off of the rope and landed in one of the holes. Luckily for him it was the correct hole. However when he landed he heard one of his bones brake in his leg. He quickly pulled one of his trouser legs up to see that some of the bone had pushed out of the skin. The door started to open.
"Are you ok Axel?" T.K shouted. He was worried that Axel had badly hurt himself.
"I'll be fine, go finish this course. The sooner you finish the happier we can all be!" Axel shouted back. Izzy and T.K looked at each other and then moved onto the next part of the course. There was a target in the air. Izzy looked sideways and saw some stones.
"I believe that we need to hit that target with one of these stones. Maybe that'll light up the lower level." Izzy stated. T.K looked at him and nodded. The two then picked up some of the stones and each threw one. Both of them missed the target, it was too far away. They wouldn't be able to hit the target from where they were. T.K then noticed that there was somewhere they could stand closer to the target. However they would need to run though a dark passage.
"No I think we need to walk through the darkness. Look over there, there is a small place one of us could stand on and throw the rock up." T.K said as he pointed his finger over to the small area that could be seen. Izzy then nodded. The two started to run through the darkness. They finally reached near the point. They then realised that one of them would have to help the other one get up there.
"Right I'll go up there and use the rocks you remain down here." Izzy commanded as he started to climb the ledge. He then had some rocks passed to him by T.K. Izzy then started to throw the rocks at the target. Soon enough he hit the target. A cage then fell above him. Izzy now couldn't get out of it. However the two of them heard a rumbling sound.
"What should I do Izzy?" T.K asked. Izzy looked down at him and smiled. Izzy had worked out that each of the area was testing their trust. Out of all of them Axel was the one who took his chances into falling into the spiked pit and Izzy had worked out the puzzle for this room.
"Go through the door. It'll most likely be a test of your hope, once you successfully make it to the end then me and Axel will appear back there. Just as the stone tablet told us." Izzy said as he tried to explain to T.K what was going on. T.K then ran towards the area where he had heard the door opening sound from.
T.K then suddenly found himself in a well lit room. He took a look around and saw five pots. He walked over to them. He looked down and saw a stone tablet.
"When you insert a stone into one of these pots be prepared to trust your luck, if you have no hope inside, then chances are you'll fall and die." T.K read out to himself. He then picked up one of the stones and put it in the pot. The pots then started moving at intense speeds. It was so quick that T.K couldn't keep track of which pot he put his stone in to. They then stopped, T.K walked over to one of them and inspected it. He then moved on to the other pot and did the same thing. After inspecting all of the pots, he came to the conclusion that he had no idea. However he hoped that the rock would be in the pot that he was about to open. T.K slowly put his hand on the lid of the pot and then opened it. He put his hand in the pot to find that it was the correct pot.
Suddenly the corridor started to shift around. Soon enough it was back to the way it was. Izzy and T.K helped Axel up. He was in no state to walk and the worst part was he had passed out from the pain. The group then headed out of the corridor. They found themselves in a grassy plain. It wasn't the same blue aura they had walked across before. They turned round to see a ghostly figure standing there. He was dressed in blue armour and was holding a large spear in one hand and shield in the other. He had dark brown hair and had all three of the symbols that Izzy, T.K and Axel had on his armour.
"Congratulations you have passed the test. My name is Sirius I was once guardian of this temple. You are the first people to pass this test in thousands of years. Ever since Wire destroyed our home world we have been stuck in the blue aura. However once all of you symbols are collected you can bring an end to Wire's tyranny." The ghostly figure said to the group. Suddenly a green aura surrounded the group. The three lads soon found that they weren't in any pain. Axel had even woken up from his knocked out state. His leg was back to normal.
"Sirius where are we now, if you don't mind me asking." Izzy asked. The groups Digimon then formed next to them. Sirius sat down on the grass.
"This is Wire's world. When you woke up the temple the world started to regenerate. The enemies you know as the dark masters unlocked the temples so you could go in. Wire luckily left this world just before it locked. So now it is up to you and your friends to open all of the shrines that will ensure Wire's defeat." Sirius explained. Patamon had flown into T.K's arms and Elecmon was curled up on his foot. Tentomon had jumped into Izzy's hair while Whamon was in a nearby lake. Wizardmon and Axel had just high fived.
"Hang on surely if Wire can't get in then our friends can't get in?" Axel asked. He looked confused, Sirius then pointed his spear towards a nearby hill. The group then saw that all of their friends were there.
"Find all of the symbols and then come back here, I will tell you what you need to do later on." Sirius commanded. He then started to fade away. The rest of the group went up towards their friends apart from T.K who had been stopped by Sirius.
"What did you need me for Sirius?" T.K asked. Sirius then pulled out an old ancient scroll.
"You'll have to enter every temple I'm afraid. Each of the other temples has a symbol of hope locked onto it. When you hold your crest up to it, it should unlock. I wish you all the best." Sirius explained to T.K he soon disappeared. T.K then ran up to the rest of the group. He then stopped in front of Kari.
"Hey did you miss me?" T.K asked. Kari wrapped her arms around him.
"I thought you were dead, you didn't text back or anything. Oh Takeru please don't do that again!" Kari cried out. T.K put his arms around her. He then kissed her on the neck.
T.K quickly broke away from the hug and looked at the group who were with him. Izzy, Axel, Kari, Tai, Matt, Sora, Joe, Mimi, Davis, Cody, Yolei, Ken, Ian, Willis and Catherine. However Catherine looked more upset than usual.
"What's the matter Catherine?" T.K asked. She then grabbed a tissue from her pocket and wiped some of the tears away. Kari was clinging onto T.K she wanted Catherine to know that she was still with him.
"Where's Lucas? He's the only person I've really only grown close to. I'm so pathetic. It shouldn't bother me this much..." Catherine said. T.K wasn't sure what to say so he walked off. The group had all of their Digimon with them and started to move towards the next temple.
