Those who think life is all a game… haven't seen what I have…
Those who have and can still think there is good out there… Lucky Numemon's
Those who hate their parents don't know what it's like without a family
Those who do not wish to age… don't know what it's like to not…
Those who think they'll be friends "forever" have never seen them die before their eyes…
Those who can do all these things… I hate… because I have been robbed of them…
Be thankful for what you have… cause the person next to you always has it worst…

Dawn's Echoes – The Death of a Friend
Chapter 5
Gogglehead VS Lone Wolf
(A/n: I didn't edit this chapter for Reason's I'll explain at the bottom…if somebody else wants to go ahead and edit it… send me the copy)
Davis was staring up at the clouds, Who was that man? He thought. Not only did he have an Agumon… but could go Mega as well, and that Agumon… it was asking Zanbamon questions… why? Wouldn't it had been easier to slice him through in the beginning… I mean it's not like he was trying to get information… Davis shook his head… the man had informed them that the digimon where trying to destroy the real world, and that the fog fields allowed it so that a digimon could stay in the real world for longer then just a couple of days. He said is had to do with Biosomethingorwhatever… but it sounded like he knew what he was talking about.
"Davis?" Veemon said walking up to him.
"Yeah?"
"What are you thinking about?" he asked.
"Just yesterday… I was thinking about that old man." He said.
"We have bigger problems then that man." Cody said, "Hawkmon has been turned into a digi-egg… so that only leaves Veemon and Armadillomon to defend this world." He said, "if we have another attack… I don't know if we could handle it." He said.
"…" Davis just stared up at the clouds… "this is what it's like… huh." Davis said.
"What is what like?" Cody asked confused.
Davis sat up, "What Tai was talking about… having the world on your shoulders… for once, we don't have Tai and the others to catch us when we fall… if we make a mistake… then everyone… everybody… will die…" Davis said. This morning's battle had awoken something in him… fear… worry… realization… maturity.
"We've already made a mistake Cody… without Hawkmon it will be even harder to do that…" Davis looked up at Cody with real worry in his eyes… "What are we going to do?" he asked.
Cody saw that Davis was serious… and right. They world was on their shoulders… and no one was there to catch them should they mess up.
"We're not alone." Armadillomon said, "There are hundreds of other digidestined around the world." He said.
"Armadillomon's right." Veemon said, "We can form an army of destined ready to combat against any invasion."
Cody eyes widened, "yes… we can… all we need to do is to get a world wide digital mobile force ready to respond to an attack anywhere." He said.
Davis stood up, "It's going to be a lot of work…" he said.
Veemon grinned, "don't worry Davis… we'll do the work… you beat up all the bad guys."
"No." Davis said clenching his fists, "this is my world too… if those Numemon scum think that their going to beat me… then they have another thing coming."
Armadillomon was surprised… who was this kid? Where did Davis go?
Davis turned and tripped on a soda can.
Ah. Armadillomon thought, he's still here… but he's changed.
Davis got up and looked at the can… he grinned, "well… what are we waiting for." He said ready to charge off and save the world
"Hold up Davis." Cody said, "we need to have a basic idea of what we're going to do." he said.
Davis sweat dropped, "oh…yeah…" he said.
Veemon laughed, "that's our Davis… lets go out and save the world without a plan to do it!" He said.
Everybody else laughed.
"Alright…" Davis said, "Let's do this. Cody, we need to go over to Izzy's house, he's got a bunch of information on all of the destined. Then we need to figure out the weakest point's between the worlds… then set up response teams corresponding to them. As for Yolie… we'll give her a few days… then we'll have her help… she needs some time to recover."
"Question." Armadillomon said, "since when did you become Tai?" Armadillomon asked.
"Since he left me in charge." Davis said.

Yamaki stood at the podium overlooking the wave of people… both Tamers and media. "Due to events earlier today… this meeting has been called to clarify some facts. Three year's ago, back when Steven was the only new Tamer to have a digimon and Takato had disappeared, their arrived a kid with a Gomamon and a BlackAgumon. It was then speculated that this kid could be Joe Kido. This morning that very same kid appeared and proclaimed himself as Joe Kido in fighting Andrew.
"We are here on that claim… that Hypnos, the DA and the Government of Japan all recognize that this kid really is Joe Kido… the one seen from the Digimon show." Their was a great stir among the crowd, "Not only is Joe Kido alive and here… but so is, Matt Ishida," Matt stood up, "Sora Takenouchi," Sora stood up as well.
"Izzy Izumi" The short red-haired stood up as well.
"Mimi Tachikawa
"Takeru Takaishi
"Kari Kamiya
"Michael Barton
"Ken Ichijouji" Each stood up in succession of their name being called.
There was a great stir among the crowd… Hypnos was declaring that these destined existed and that the show was real?
Yamaki backed down as Izzy walked to the podium. "I understand that this is a big shock… but we do not declare the show correct… I will watch it in the next couple of days and fill you guys in on the facts of what is real and what is not. Thank you." He backed down as Matt walked up.
Joe started to fret as he noticed that Gomamon had gone missing, he looked over at Henry… their eyes met and their faces drained of blood.
"We understand that many of you will not believe us… however, we exist, and it's only up to each individual person to decide if we're the real deal or not. As you may have noticed, Tai is not with us… neither is Davis, Cody or Yolie. Those three needed to stay behind and protect our world… Tai is on a mission for the sovereigns and should be here in a few days. I would also like to say that we've dealt with media back home, and we'll make a deal with you to give you what you want provided we get our privacy. Thank you."
"Now that's over with." Gomamon shouted standing on a ledge.
"Lets have some fun!" Terriermon said, his arms folded and his ears holding two pieces of sludge. Gomamon was tossing a piece in the air as well.
"Here all of you news reporters… this is what we think of you." He said as all of the digimon of all the tamer's their brought out their own sludge.
"EAT NUMEMON!" Gomamon cried flinging his sludge. Within five minutes every last camera and reporter had at least 4 pieces of digi-poo on them.

Author's Note
Alright… I'm just going to skip ahead a few days in the future, enough so it's past the initial shock of the destined being real. So here are the facts… it's five days later after this part, Henry explains to the group that because of when Joe showed up three years ago, and the fact that digimon are real… theirs always been a little rumor that the destined are real… which has been reinforced by people pretending to be the destined. So a good portion of the people believe they are the real deal, after 5 days. There are still those that disbelieve of course.
The reason I'm skipping these five days is because the reaction of third season character's when they meet the Adventures is really hard to do, especially if you don't want to take a lot of time on it. Now… do that on the scale of the whole nation just all of sudden meeting them… well that's probably the hardest thing to do in Fanficting a digimon story… so it's five days later.

Sora was sitting in her room, she had picked up a magazine on her way back from lunch with Rika and Kari.
She sat down on her bed and flipped through it. There was an article about Tentomon and Izzy, talking about his IQ level. She also saw an article about why Tai was still missing. She scanned through it. She chuckled to herself.
"What's so funny?" Biyomon asked from the end of Sora's bed.
"Just this article. It's theorizing on why Tai hasn't shown up. The main one being that the government can't find a kid with bushy enough hair to act as him. A few other theories are that he got called back to our world, he got lost and is now wondering around in Alaska, and that he's actually just hiding so no one will know he's with Mimi." She said.
Biyomon laughed, "where do they come up with some of those things?" she asked.
Sora shrugged and turned the pages a few more times when her eyes came onto a title.
Sorry Taiora fans… but looks like it's a Somato honeymoon.
Fiercely debated fact of whether Tai and Sora or Matt and Sora should be together has finally come to an exhilarating close. As the digidestined appeared… Tai was no where to be found and Matt was their protecting his Sora.
Matt deserves Sora ten times as much as Tai. He's the smartest one in the group next Izzy and obviously far better suited for the leader instead of Tai. Tai is only leader because his Goggles make him look far more mature then he is. Matt is obviously the best suited since he has not only the best looks and the most powerful digimon, but his deck is also ranked as the most powerful deck ever.
He is also a rock star., which out beats any Soccer player any day. Is it any wonder Sora gave up soccer… she wouldn't want to be seen dead playing that game or with Tai.
Sora put the magazine down in tears as she was unable to deal with it anymore, "Who do they think they are!" she bawled, "why can't they just leave me alone!" Sora demanded of her digimon tears draining down her face. "Ever since I got here its just been, when do you expect a baby… has Matt proposed yet. Will you tell us the name of you're kids…, why did you choose Matt over Tai… are you cheating on Matt with Tai… I can't take it anymore." Sora just exploded at her digimon.
Biyomon just stood their unsure of what to do. She put her wing around her partner. Sora grabbed her digimon into a hug. She just cried into her partner for a few minutes. Biyomon didn't understand but just held her in her wings.
Sora finally stopped crying when the door opened and Matt walked in.
"You alright?" He asked.
"Yeah… I'm fine." She said wiping away the remains of her tears.
"Well, we have a lunch with," Matt started to say.
"I'm not going." Sora said flatly.
"Huh… why not?" he asked.
"Why does it matter…" She asked him.
"Sora… are you sure your all right?" he asked.
"No… I'm not alright… I hate having to deal with all this crap… I just wanna go home and live a normal life… I don't want to deal with all of this." She told her boyfriend.
"You're a digidestined… we don't live normal lives." Matt and Sora turned to see what looked like a spiky WarGreymon leaning up against the door.
"WarGreymon?" Gabumon asked.
"X" the voice said.
"You sound different… and where's Tai?" Biyomon asked.
"Right here." Tai told them from inside WarGreymon X.
"Where?" Matt asked.
"Well… me and Agumon kinda of joined together…" Tai said.
"Huh?" All of them asked.
Tai and Agumon dedigivolved… "See… we where one."
Sora fainted from shock.
"Nice Tai… All the girls are falling for you." Black said walking in behind them. Then seeing the look he got from Matt, "Mimi and Rika fainted as well."
Matt went up to his friend and they gave each other a hug. "Good to see you… we got kind of worried about you." He said.
Tai grinned, something Matt didn't see very often anymore, "Worried about me… I'm the cockiest destined out their… what's to worry about." He asked jokingly.
Matt laughed, "Whatever happened to just going through life because I have to?" he asked.
"Well… seeing as I have the world on my shoulders again… I guess it gives me strength or something…. Either that or now I'm not bored out of my mind." He said.
Matt grinned as well, "since when was the world back on your shoulders?" he asked.
"Since I left Davis in charge of it." Tai said grinning.
Matt chuckled, " Yeah… that would do it." He said, "but man… I can't believe how much you've changed in the past 6 days." He said.
Tai just shrugged, "I haven't changed… I just know what I'm doing now. Anyways… I've heard you and me have a duel in the next few days." He said.
Matt grinned, "So you ready to get creamed?" he asked.
"Nah… I just wanna see MetalGarurumon X and a battle will probably be the best way to get you to biomerge." Tai said as he handed him his digivice of Friendship and set Sora's on the table. He set her comfortably on the bed.
"So… you guys were in a fight when I came?" He asked Matt.
Matt sighed, " sort of… I mean… I love Sora… but … she wants a normal life…and I can't give that to her."
"You always did crave attention… even when we were young and first met our digimon." Tai told him.
"What do I do… I don't want to settle down… ever. I wanna have the life and adventure… but Sora doesn't want that at all." Matt said looking at his friend.
"Try deciding between the fate of the world and her." Tai told him.
Matt looked up at his friend, "What did you choose?"
"I choose her… then Kari got unbearably sick and I realized that I didn't want to put anybody else through the pain of almost losing a sister… or actually doing it." Tai told him.
Matt looked at him, "do you still have feeling's for her… I mean Sora." Matt asked.
Tai turned to him, "would it matter?"
"Not really… I'm just curious." Matt said.
"Well… when I don't have the weight of the world… then I'm just an emotional hormonal teenage mess… otherwise… I know where my priorities stand." Tai said.
"You never answered the question."
"You catch on quick." Tai said, "anyways… I gotta go fill out some paperwork, so I'll see you later.

Michael stood on a stage three days later with his guitar. MB was on the drums and DMB was on percussion. SnowAgumon was also had a guitar and Commandramon had a mike in his hand.
"You guys ready?" Commandramon asked.
"Let's do this." Michael said as he indicated over to DMB. He spun his two mallets up and started to play on the Xylophone.
The band started to bob their heads and Commandramon went into the rap, "It's starts with One thing, I don't know why, doesn't even matter how hard you try" Michael started to play on the guitar.
"Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain in due time.
All I know"
Joe laughed as he watched the band from his seat in the stands. Matt and Tai were dueling today and the digidestined got a spot completely to themselves. "It's funny to see a blue dino with a M16 singing Linkin Park.
"Time is a Valuable thing"
Suzy laughed, "eah it is pwetty funny." She said.
"Their pretty good though." Rukato said from the seat in front of them.
"yeah." Lopmon spoke up, "I'm surprised though… I never knew that two Betamon's could actually corporate on the same band. They're known for being great drummers… but their always competing against each other."
"Well… you could say those two have had past dealings with each other." Dorumon spoke up.
"I tried so hard and got so far… but in the end it doesn't even matter."
Lunamon chuckled, "Dealings isn't strong enough of a word for it."
Ryudamon looked over at Lunamon… "you spoke… and not about something concerning the moon…" she said stunned.
Lunamon shrugged, "it's a new moon… theirs not much to look at right now." She said.
Rukato chuckled to see the three digimon talking to each other so casually… it was a rare sight… and that disappointed him… had the group become so serious that they couldn't even have fun once in awhile? He looked over where Takashi and Taishi where talking.
"This never happened as far as I know." Taishi whispered to Takashi.
"I know… I didn't think our parents would even arrive for another two years." Takashi told her.
"Do you think that we somehow messed up the timeline… did we cause them to come early?" Taishi asked.
"I designed this Rhyme to remind
myself"
"I tried so hard" Michael
sung, " and got so far… but in the end… it doesn't even
matter"
Takashi shook his head, "I don't think so… we'll need to talk as a group later… maybe Gomamon can give us some more info." He said as they walked back over to their seats.
"Hey Izzy," Henry said into the kids ear, "stop drooling at Mimi while she's drooling at Michael… it's improper." He said.
"I … I wasn't!" Izzy said extremely quickly. Takato, Ryo and Henry laughed.
"Relax." Ryo said, "we where just trying to figure out why you're eyes where so glazed over."
Izzy rolled his eyes.
Mimi leaned next to Rika, "hey… where's Sora…?" she asked.
Rika nodded and Mimi saw a girl sitting in the farthest corner with baggy clothes, and a headband underneath a long hood. "Oh…" Mimi said amazed, and started filling guilty… here she was, Sora's best friend, and she had been so caught up with being able to hang out with Michael where all these people treated them like royalty, that she didn't even realize that Sora was hurting. She started to get up.
"I put my trust in you… pushed as far as I could go"
Kari's cousin stopped her, "Don't… wait until after the duel… she doesn't want attention brought to herself." The redhead tamer told her. Mimi looked at Sora one last time then turned back to the field as the crowd started to go crazy and the announcer started to speak up.
"Here it is folks… here it is, the battle you've been waiting for… MATT ISHIDA VS TAI KAMIYA! This is the most anticipated battle of the century with tickets costing well over a thousand dollars a piece. Let do this!" The announcer shouted as the whole crowd roared even louder. "And now a word from our sponsors."
Gomamon chuckled to himself, the ads for this thing where going for roughly a quarter million for 15 seconds, it was ridiculous.
Matt and Tai walked out onto the field and stared across from each other. Tai stuck out his hand and Matt took it.
"The rumor has it that this is a battle for Sora's hand." Matt told him without speaking.
"Are you that scared that you're trying to throw me off from the start." Tai said back without speaking.
"It seemed to work because you aren't even touching this subject." Matt said.
"I won't treat her like she's an object… and you shouldn't either." Tai told him.
"So… how many cows?" Matt asked out loud, just audible enough for Tai to hear. "5? 6? 7? Perhaps 8?"
Tai looked up at him, "just because you won round one doesn't mean your cockier then I am." He said grinning. He walked off back to Agumon. Matt was still on the field staring back at Tai… what had happened to him… how did he Mature so fast in those 6 days? He shook the thought out of his and walked back over to Gabumon.
The two digimon walked out onto the field, Agumon with his Katana he had recently forged, and Gabumon hefting a gun blade over his shoulder. "Where did you get that?" Agumon asked.
"Black forged it for me." He said as he got into a stance. Agumon held his Katana in his right claw.
"Alright… let the Duel BEGIN!"
"DIGI-MODIFY" Both Matt and Tai called out instantly, "BLITZ ACTIVATE!"
As the card slide through, each destined had three cards lose their glow… they had been deactivated.
"DIGI-MODIFY!" Matt called out, "Data Burn Activate." He said, "Three!" He touched three of his cards and they went offline, while three of Tai's cards randomly went offline.
The card appeared on the screen "Tamer Attack Data Burn: Choose X amount of cards to offline, you're opponent randomly offlines that same amount of cards.
Ryo grinned, "looks like Matt's trying to decimate Tai's deck before the game's even started." He said.
"Yeah… and it's working… Tai's already lost three of his five Dramon cards." Takato said looking at the discarded cards on the screen.
Tai: 8 Cards
Matt: 7 Cards
No Combat
Tai looked at Matt with his trademark grin… "Round Two isn't over yet." He told the blond haired kid. "Digi-Modify… Black Out Activate!" he shouted.
Tamer Attack : Blackout : For every card that has been offlined by you're opponent, they offline that many cards.
Matt grabbed one card and all the rest offlined.
"And Now, to undo some of the damage you did earlier… Digi-Modify… Energy Swap… Dramon Killers, Dramon Shield, Dramon Rage." He said as three cards went offline and he held all five Dramon Cards in his hand.
Tai: 6 Cards
Matt: 1 Card
No Combat.
"Can you believe this folks, the game hasn't even started and both of them have just decimated each other's decks." The announcer called.
"Round Two goes to me." Tai grinned.
Matt smiled, "One to One… Round Three."
Agumon and Gabumon smiled, "That's our cue." Gabumon said.
"Let's go old buddy." He said and they both swung at once. Agumon's blade slammed into Gabumon's. He brought it back and swung to the side, Gabumon blocked it and jabbed his gun forward, Agumon jumped back a little and it missed, until Gabumon fired. Agumon was blasted back.
Agumon landed on his back with a thud 8 feet away. He got up, "Pepper Breath!" He shouted.
Gabumon slashed the fireball away, only to see Agumon swing his sword in a circular fashion while running up and disarm him. "Blue Blaster!" He cried knocking Agumon back again.
Gabumon grabbed his blade and they charged at each and leapt, their blades meeting in the air causing a shower of sparks. They turned back around to each other, and their blades shattered.
"BY THE SOVEREIGNS!" The announcer shouted, "TWO CHROME-DIGIZOID BLADES JUST SHATTERED!" he said unable to imagine the kind of power they had smashed each other with.
Gabumon threw his useless blade to the slide, and expected Agumon to do the same thing. Agumon threw his blade off to the side, but only the top end flew off, the bottom of the blade where it hadn't cracked was a perfect blade.
"Black's a good forger, no doubt about that." Agumon said, "but here in the field against a customized blade… you didn't stand a chance." He said cockily and charged, Gabumon fired a Blue Blaster, but Agumon just let it bounce off the bade and cut Gabumon down, sending him flying backwards.
"Round three is ours." Tai said.
Matt was a little annoyed, "Don't get to cocky just because you won two of three rounds, this battle is far from over." He said.
Izzy was watching this battle from the stands very amused. "Prodigious." He said.
Henry nodded, "It's funny how these two are seeing the same situation completely different."
"What do you mean?" Takato asked.
"Tai and Matt aren't battling in full out competition." Joe told him.
"What do you mean?" Ryo asked, "Is that why their holding back?"
Henry nodded, "Yeah… you see Matt sees the rounds as advantages to the final end battle."
"WarGreymon VS MetalGarurumon." Rika said.
Izzy nodded, "yes… however Tai is treating it as a series of rounds and the winner of the most rounds will win." He told them.
Henry confirmed what he said, "Yeah… Let's see round one must have been some sort of mental battle between the two of them… either that or it was a battle of words and emotions and they just did it non-verbally."
"Round two would have been the battle of the cards." Kari said.
"and round three was a battle of skill." Ryo observed.
"Wrong." Henry said, " it was a competition against Black, who could forge the better blade."
"And I lost." Black said, "and I had put so much effort into that gun blade… now all that work has been shattered."
"You can always forge another one." Biyomon told him, " and now that you know its weaknesses, make it even better." She said as she perched on top of his head."
"Where did you come from?" Palmon asked her best friend.
"I was keeping an eye on Sora, she's hiding out right now, but she's fine so I figured it would look suspicious if I didn't hang with you guys… besides, an Agumon's nose is a nice perching spot." She said.
Provides a nice view… doesn't it. The voice said to Black.
"It sure does… so you coming back soon?" Black thought. He waited for a minute and there was no reply. "… if that was who I thought it was… why didn't he answer me…? Is he still asleep and I'm just experiencing a subconscious thought from him? Oh…Baihumon it… he's been since the dawn of the digital world… he's not coming back…
Sound does strange
things doesn't it?
Black understood what he meant… and turned back to the match.
Greymon dug his heels in as he pushed up against Garurumon. "By Azulongmon's beard… you've gotten so strong physically." He growled at his opponent.
"It helps to go with Gomamon to the Gym… if you think I've improved… you should see him… he can waste me." Garurumon said back to him as he pushed his body as hard as he could against Greymon… gaining steps.
"Are Gomamon?" Greymon asked.
Garurumon shifted his weight so Greymon fell on him and launched him into the air. "Yep… Howling Blaster!" he shouted blasting Greymon up even higher.
"GREYMON!" Tai said as he clenched his chest with his arms that felt like lead. "DIGIVOLVE!"
On the screen it showed Greymon getting his metal arm and his armor plating on his head and chest.
"Come on Matt… onto to the next round… or are you scared?" Tai taunted.
Matt was really getting annoyed at Tai, "Don't forget that I just beat you in that one."
"Oh… I didn't … I guess I just forgot that you have to rely on previous wins to give yourself support in the next battle." Tai said grinning his trademark grin.
"Garurumon DIGIVOLVE!" Matt shouted.
WereGarurumon jumped into the air, "You ready to dance dino-breath?" He taunted "flying" up towards him.
"You forget one of the basic rules of fighting." MetalGreymon said as he blocked WereGarurmon's kick with his arm. WereGarurumon jumped off his arm so he was now higher then him, " Politeness requires that you shake… MEGA CLAW!"
WereGarurumon chuckled as he flipped on top of the oncoming claw and ran towards his rival. "WOLF CL…" he tried to attack.
MetalGreymon had expected this and wasn't going to let him pull it off that easily. He snatched him with his other hand and threw him into the air. "GIGA MISSILE!" he shouted as the missiles collided with his partner. Agumon landed in a stance, while Gabumon sort of just collapsed as he smashed into the ground.
"Round 5 is mine Matt… you ready for round six?" Tai taunted.
"Don't get cocky just because you've one a single round Tai!" Matt said furiously, "this is what it comes down to. Gabumon… DIGI-MODIFY… MAXIMUM REFREASH!" He called.
Gabumon stood up completely full of energy… "let's finish what we started so long ago." He said
"Lets." Agumon said.
This has been going on for a lot longer then either of you know.
"GABUMON WARP DIGIVOLVE!"
"AGUMON WARP DIVIVOVLE!"
MetalGarurumon stood floating across from his friend. WarGreymon put up his claws.
"DIGI-MODIFY!" Tai called, "DRAMON KILLERS, RAGE, SHIELD, ARMOR… CORE! ACTIVATE!"
"Tai you stupid idiot." Ryo shouted, "That won't work right now… you needed to wait another two minutes." He said.
Matt grinned, "Baka… Maximum refresh revives both our digimon, but prevents cards from being used for 3 ½ minutes… you just wasted those cards. Who's lost round two now!"
Tai snapped on his goggles. "You have… DRAMON FORCE ACTIVATE!" he cried as he slammed his last card through his Digivice of Courage.
Dramon Force – Type Unknown – When all five Dramon cards have been offlined at once by you're opponent, you may activate this card.
Henry looked at the card on the screen, "what the heck… that card A. Doesn't do anything and B. This is the first time it's ever been seen!"
WarGreymon stood there as his core, Claws, Shield, Armor and his whole body turned into raw digiforce.
"Trinity Burst." Takato, Rika and Henry said at the same time.
The energy turned into a massive Dragon of pure raw energy. "METALGARURUMON ATTACK!"
"METAL WOLF CLAW!" he shouted as he released every missile in his arsenal. The golden dragon force just absorbed it… it sat their radiating power.
"16.9" Is all Izzy said.
"Fanlongmon." Matt said.
The dragon sped towards MetalGarurumon with immense speed, and slammed through him in a matter of 2 seconds since it started moving. Agumon stood on the far side of MetalGarurumon…
"You lose." The orange dinosaur said.
"METALGARURUMON!" Matt shouted as his friend didn't move… couldn't move.
"Relax Matt… he's just dealing with the attack… he'll be frozen like that for the next couple of days… of course… I didn't mean for it to be like this." He said… his voice layered with a mad disappointment. "I had expected you to be stronger… but this is what I get… how can I trust you if you can't even protect your own digimon… much less your own brother… Kari… or even Sora." Tai said disgusted.
"Shut up…" Matt said.
"Why Matt… why is it that I can trust my own sister to protect herself more then I can you… just handing her over to Myotismon like that… what in the digital where you thinking."
"SHUT UP!" Matt shouted.
"And to think that I trusted you with the protection of Sora all this time… I should have given her over to Joe."
Matt ran towards Tai with all his speed and swung his fist, "SHUT UP!" Tai blocked it and through Matt to the side.
"You're to easy to read Matt. You'll never beat anybody like this." He said.
"SHUT UP!" Matt shouted as he grabbed the first hard thing he could get his hand upon and slammed it into Tai, but instead slammed his knee into his groin at the last second.
Tai stumbled back in pain… he grinned, "just like old times."
"NO… it's not like old times." Matt said, "I'm not just some loner who thinks he's all that and tries to protect his baby brother. I stick by my friends now…them over me… even through everything they do and say… even when it hurts." He shouted as the blunt object… which happened to be his digivice started to glow.
"METALGARURUMON BIOMERGE TO…"
Matt felt himself filled with a power and his bond with Gabumon…his friendship become something hard.
He hefted his gattling gun and placed his beam cannon on his back.
"MetalGarurumon… X!"
Tai looked up at his friend… "I'm impressed." He said as his own digivice started to glow… "AGUMON BIOMERGE TO WARGREYMON X!"
Tai stood inside Agumon's mind across from Tai.
"How… what… is this?" Matt asked.
"Hold that thought." Tai said… "Goma… "
"Already taken care of." Takashi's Gomamon told him, "as long as the barrier is around you, the camera's can't strip away you're data." He told him.
Tai turned back MetalGarurumon X, "what is it that you want to know?"
"How… what… how did this happen.?" Matt said absolutely perplexed.
"When the crest glows with it's true source… then what was split can be reunited." Tai said. "I'm not sure the exact meaning… but whenever I reach a Maximum level of courage… then I can go to WarGreymon X… I think it's the same thing for you."
"But with Friendship."
WarGreymon X nodded.
"… … You meant everything you said… didn't you." Matt asked.
"It takes courage to tell people what you think is the truth." Tai told him.
"Well… then… let me have the courage to tell you that you're about to get you're but creamed." Matt and Gabumon said together.
Tai laughed while Agumon replied, "Winner gets to decide who the other digimon has to date once."
"You're on." Gabumon said.
"Let's do this." Matt said.
Izzy looked up at them… "WarGreymon X… 11.2 MetalGarurumon X… 10.3… but that's the power of every missile on it's own."
"I am jealous." Dorumon said looking up at them.

20 Minutes Later
WarGreymon X had his claw locked into MetalGarurumonX's Gattling Gun. "Eat Numemon poo!" Tai and Agumon shouted as they slammed what was left of their Dramon claw into MetalGarurumonX's stomach. The single blade sliced right through him. Tai grinned on the inside, "I win Matt." He said
Matt's arm was completely numb… considering that the left arm was missing, he didn't think that it was to horrible a feeling compared to what Gabumon had been going through. Matt felt the blade in his stomach… "Don't get to cocky Tai." He said as he opened one of his chest plates.
Tai head butted the plate slamming it shut causing the missile to go off inside of MetalGarurumonX's body. "AHHH!" Matt screamed… he used the last of his strength to swing the Beam Rifle into WarGreymonX's face.
"Zhuqiaomon's Flame." Tai cursed as the beam slammed into him. WarGreymonX fell to the ground as Agumon and Tai. Tai struggled to stand up as MetalGarurumon landed beside him.
Matt grinned, "I win." He said looking at Tai.
"Not yet." Tai said just barely on his knees.
Matt was surprised, "What… you want to fight with our fist's now?" he asked.
Tai didn't respond, he just grabbed his unconscious partner and slammed his open jaw onto MetalGarurumonX's neck and twisted.
Their was crunch as Matt and Gabumon fell back… Gabumon had the blue barrier appear around him… signaling that the battle was over.
"Try Nine." Tai said as Matt laid on his back. The gogglehead reached down and pulled Matt up onto his feet and let him rest on him. Matt grinned. "Nine eh… I'm honored that you trusted me with that." He said. Tai grinned at his friend. (A/N: Read back to their first conversation during the duel if you don't get that.)
"BY THE DIGITAL FOLKS… TAI WINS… BUT THE SKIN OF HIS TEETH… TAI KAMIYA… THE LEADER OF THE EAST QUADRANT DIGI-DESTINED WINS!" The announcer went ballistic. The crowd was on it's feat…some roaring about how Tai cheated at the end…most for Tai though… that is all but one person.
Yamshowzu sat in the corner and looked at his list.
Violation of Section 101110(46) - An Unauthorized human may not have physical conduct against a Digimon.
Violation of Section 101111(47) – Any Digimon that causes physical damage to a human must be reverted to a digiegg and sent back to the Digi-world.
Violation of Section 1111011(123) – The general public must be alerted when a digimon of power level higher then 8 appears.
Violation of Section 48 – A Human may not use a digimon in any way to inflict damage to another person.
Violation of Section 127 – A digimon of Attack level of over 11 must be sent back to the digital world.
Subsection Gamma A digimon that has the capability of going over a power level of 11 must be sent back to the digital world.
Yamshowzu grinned to himself… he had finally got something he could nail hard on the digimon… then he could employ the weapon… his grinned increased in size.

That night Darkdramon was sitting at a computer in Hypnos, "Let's see… Level… Mega… Species… Demon Dragon… no… to specific… Dragon. Power level… Above 10… Search."
His eyes scanned the computer as it did a search of all digimon.
Fanglongmon
Azulongmon
Darkdramon
Surprised to see his species their… he clicked on it. A lot of it was basic stuff… the fact that he could camouflage himself and whatnot… but one sentence caught his eye.
While his himself is not of a DATS rating power of higher then 9.5… his left blade/lance is equivalent to Gallentmon's Gram… and thus must be considered as powerful.
He chuckled to himself. He was placed with one of the greats… he liked the idea of that… not to mention that great was his partner by law… it would be nice if he could affect him with cards though… but it doesn't matter all that much.
He looked back at the list and saw their was one he over looked. He clicked on it.
Demon Dragon… His eyes rested on that one line for over a minute. "Found you." He said. He closed out the program and left for Takato's house.
An eye peered out of the shadows as he left. Ghoulmon sat down and started typing on the computer, "this won't do…not at all. How can Gomamon catch you're mistake if you didn't even hack." He said.

Michaels Betamon… it originally stood for something else though. Betamon's, do their name system a little bit different then most digimon, instead of putting an emphasis on their name, they have initials, always ending in B for Betamon.
Dark Master Betamon
In the End By: Linkin Park… I do not own this song.
In order to get this reference… go and watch the Movie Johnny Lingo.
Betamon X: Mohoma you ugly… get down from that tree.
Gomamon: I offer Eight Cows!
(Sigh)
Alright… Yes I can already here how much you are going to rail on me CrazyEight… I know I know… their probably hasn't been this bad of a transition since Season four… I'm extremely sorry to all of my readers. As for why I didn't edit it… I really got sick of this chapter, since it's basically just setting up the rest of the plotline… I'm also sorry about this chapter taking so long.. but when I only have one review… I really don't have all that much motivation… it really isn't all that hard to hit the review button you know…and CrazyEight… I thank you for all of you're reviews…

P.S. One last thing… I need songs for Matt's Rock Concert that will be in probably two chapters… so if you have an idea…let me know. Especially if it's Stained, Creed, Nickelback, Linkin Park or Three doors Down. Thank you
