Chapter 12: Return to Darkness
"You don't stand a chance against me." ZeedMillenniummon said. He stood up and readied a second Destructive Flash.
"Go, Omnimon!" Dartz and Garrett yelled in unison.
"Supreme Cannon!" Omnimon shouted. His right hand opened revealing a cannon protruding from MetalGarurumon's mouth, which shot a beam of white energy at the evil two- headed digimon. The blast hit dead on and ZeedMillenniummon was thrown into the wall again.
"Thomas! This is your chance!" Duke yelled.
"Right!" The blonde yelled back. "Get him, Mirage Gaogamon!"
"Full Moon Blaster!" Mirage Gaogamon yelled. A beam of light built up in the opening on the digimon's chest and flew at Millenniummon, enveloping the room in a bright, white light. When the light disappeared, all that remained was a small Digiegg.
"That's Millenniummon?" Sharon asked.
"Yep. The Full Moon Blaster was too much for the guy." Dartz said as he picked up the Digiegg and handed it to Thomas. "I guess that means you guys are done here."
"Yeah. We'd better be getting back. Commander Sampson is probably about to blow his top." Marcus said.
"Well, it's good to know that DATS is doing okay without us." Duke said.
"We've brought up a portal back to Japan. Once you guys are gone we'll get to work on the Space Paranoids." Lisa said. A purple and black portal appeared and the DATS agents jumped in.
"We'll see you guys later!" Yoshi said as she jumped through. The portal closed behind her and a second portal appeared in its place.
"Next stop, Space Paranoids." Sora said. The gang was about to jump in when a voice came from behind them.
"Wait for us!" the voice said. The teenagers turned to see Sonic and company running through the door, Espio still carrying Niki. They had their extreme gear in their hands, and in Shadow's case on his feet.
"She still hasn't woken up?" Odd asked. Espio shook his head.
"Eggman went with Xana to the Space Paranoids." Tails explained, getting to the point.
"Okay. Just make sure you guys stay safe." Lisa said. The large group jumped into the portal once Dartz, Duke, and Garrett had recalled their digimon. They landed in the middle of a circular room with a set of platforms jutting out of the wall, forming a set of stairs leading to an opening that was blocked by a bunch of digital code barriers.
"Out of one virtual world and into another. Any idea of how we get out of here, Einstein?" Ulrich asked. No response came.
"We can't talk to them from here. The MCP has put up a communications blocker." Riku said. "We can't contact anyone in Radiant Garden, either."
"So technically speaking there's no way out of here." Sam said. She let her body fall to the floor near the wall opposite the stairs.
"Now, now." Dartz said, smiling. "Don't start thinking negative. Where there's a will there's a way." He jumped up the makeshift stairs and took a close look at the barrier. His smile widened and he took an arrow from his quiver and stuck it in the spot he was looking at. He took the arrow out of the barrier, put it back in the quiver, and punched the spot where the arrow had just been with all his strength. The barrier disappeared almost immediately. "You just need to know where to hit it."
"That's a handy skill." Elise said. "Now let's get out of here." The others nodded and made their way up the makeshift stairs. Dartz walked out of the room to take a quick look around.
"Coast is clear." The others joined him moments later and Sora, Riku, and Kairi lead them toward the Solar Sailor Dock.
"Where exactly are we going?" William asked.
"To the Central Computer Mesa." Riku said. "That's where the MCP is."
"I just hope Tron is okay." Kairi said.
"Who's Tron?" Riou asked.
"He's a friend of ours that lives here." Sora said. "He oversees what's happening with the MCP." They walked into the Solar Sailor Dock, only to find it empty. "Oh, no."
"I'm guessing we're missing something?" Espio asked.
"Yeah. We're down one solar sailor." Sora said.
"We don't have enough room on our vehicles to transport everyone." Dartz said sadly. "Some of us will have to stay here."
"See ya." Jet said suddenly. He, Wave, and Storm got on their extreme gear and rode off in the direction they had come. "Gotta see if there's any treasure around this dump." Dartz's eye twitched from annoyance.
"Not what I meant." He virtualized the overgear and jumped on, Sharon right behind him. "Riou, Duke, and William should stay here and guard the dock.
"I'll stay too." Cream said.
"I'd better stay as well. I won't be able to do much fighting in this condition." Espio said referring to the young purple fox in his arms.
"Charmy and I will stay and help out too." Vector said.
"Awe, but I wanna go fight." The bee whined.
"Too bad. We're needed here." Rouge said. "I'll stay and keep these guys in line. Be careful. We don't know what we're up against." Blaze nodded.
"Even though we have a pretty good idea." She said. She threw her extreme gear down and jumped on. "You guys be careful too."
"Give Xana a good whooping for us, guys." Riou said.
"Don't worry, Riou. We'll kick his butt tenfold." Garrett said with a smirk.
"Alright then let's go kick some butt." Odd said. Dartz nodded.
"And send these guys back to the darkness once and for all!" he yelled.
