Plotmon here.

Last time, Taiko went through a crazy dream involving Bastemon, Lady Devimon, Holy Angemon and Gennai, leaving her even more confused, but also determined to see things through on her own, rather then relaying on someone else's power.

Taichi meanwhile, arrived at the Dark Network thanks to Picollomon's help, just in time to free Taiko and take up the fight against the remaining two devas. Metal-Greymon deleted Makuramon with the help of Etemon, yes that Etemon, but the music loving digimon went down with Majiramon as he attacked him, we don't know if he survived the fall.

What surprised me the most was the fact that Taichi took down a perfect stage digimon on his own.

But it doesn't matter anyway, Milleniumon is here, and he going to destroy the world. And I doubt even Taiko giving her strength to Taichi so Metal-Greymon could become Wargreymon will save us.

--

The mixture of energies flowed through him for a few seconds, before his body shattered into a powerful light show, a familiar feeling washing through him, as strength filled him beyond what he had believed he could hold. "Metal-Greymon evolves too-"

Breaking out of the light, a much smaller, humanoid dinosaur like digimon hovered in the air, his skin still a bright orange, but now he had on a tight fitting chest plate, a large divided shield on his back, and wicked look gauntlets sporting sharp claws, his legs sported metallic shin guards while his face were covered by a form fitting metal helmet with horns. "-Wargreymon!"

Hovering silently in the air, the dragon man digimon lowered his head and gazed across the relatively short distance between himself and Milleniumon, the dark digimon from the other world.

And then without yelling out the words for an attack, he shot forward as power drawn from the very air itself wrapped around him, expanding outwards in a glowing halo before he impacted the side of the showing it away from the ships and the world below, the roar of his opponent ignored as he lifted his gaze to spot two shapes tumbling out over the edge as well.

His attack on the network forgotten, Wargreymon shot upwards while dispelling his attack force, grapping Taiko and Taichi in smooth move as he did a quick 160 turn, aiming for one of the ships below. "Okay, I know I just got a power boost, but do we even have a plan for this?"

Taichi did his best to shrug as he got his first glimpse of the dark digimon itself, the mismatched faces glaring at him from across the distance, sheer dark power rolling off the digimon in waves. "Beats me, I normally say we pound them until they delete, but this guy."

"He is beyond our current level." Taiko muttered out as she felt Wargreymon release his hold on her, her feet impacting the wooden deck with little pain, a refreshing feeling so soon after her recent ordeal. "Still, we have to try, if we don't, the darkness will complete over run this world."

Next to her, Taichi landed as well, his eyes narrowing. "You heard her Wargreymon, destroy that dark digimon once and for all end his reign of evil for everyone."

Rearing upwards, Wargreymon lifted his hands up over his head as power flowed in between his hands. "Gaia Force!" The mighty sphere of power roared through the air, bring with it lethal destruction and certain death for most digimons and most likely all humans.

From his point of entrance, with half his body still trapped, Milleniumon watched death flying towards him, the heat of the orange sphere causing the air around it to shimmer; still, it did not worry him.

The last digimon he had faced using that attack, had been defeated, its body ground into the dirt where it had deleted into a shower of digital data, still, it would be wise to act now, rather then risk a fight where he couldn't move anywhere thanks to this blasted portal. "Mugen Cannon!"

Destroying the Gaia force attack, and sending the Wargreymon flying backwards in one go, the dark digimon returned his attention to the portal, the gateway pulling him both forward and backwards with the same amount of power, even when he strained against it, it refused to relent it's grip on him.

Ducking out of the way of the second attack to nearly hit, Wargreymon smashed back first into the mast of the burning ship, his body cutting right through it and further into the air before he regained his balance. "Not to worry, I'm just warming up, I'll get him this time."

His sentence ending just in time for him to get blasted backwards by a arc of darkness jetting out from the dark gate, sending him crashing into the ships hold while Milleniumon's roar of anger cut through the air as he struggled to free himself.

On the deck of the ship, Taiko watched the latest hole in the ship, her eyes narrowing as she shook her head as she could clearly heard Wargreymon letting out a cry of pain down below. "We are so dead."

--

Leaning back in his chair, the shadowy dark man held back a laugh as he watched Wargreymon emerged into the fight again, his eyes darting off to the side to spot Michi still holed up in his tube. "I hope you're watching this Michi, it's your hero's digimon fighting out there."

"And I must say he's doing a rather poor job so far, in fact-" Breaking off the sentence, the man lifted up a tea cup and took a deep sip from it as he watched the battle, taking notes of how several orbs were ejected from the dark digimons mouth. "-I see, he can create his own pocket dimensions, such a powerful and deadly attack."

Turning his attention down towards Taichi and Taiko, he grimaced as the two kids were seen moving backwards, no doubt putting some more distance between them, the fire and one of those pocket dimensions as it engulfed half the ship they were on. "I'm surprised they haven't already done the most obvious thing yet, if they can't defeat the dark digimon himself then just destroy the device creating the portal that which keeps him here."

--

"Dimension Destoyer!"

letting lose with a scream of pure terror, Taiko watched as the multitude of glowing spheres around them detonated, the objects trapped inside of them vanishing without even a trace of digital data to see. "What kind of digimon is that?"

Taichi's growl of anger barely heard as he moved his attention away from the sight of a small collection of Kougamon's that had gotten deleted. "A dead kind, Wargreymon!"

Above them, Wargreymon found himself spinning around as a new sphere erupted before him, his feet less then a meter away from getting swallowed as he shot up into the air, power flowing in around him. "I'm trying." Forming his trademark attack, the dragon man digimon glared across the distance as he watched the dark network shudder and slowly tilt back over as Milleniumon struggled to get free. "Gaia Force!"

The massive head with it's yellow eyes stopping it powering up of one more sphere, to merely watched as the attack his enemy had fired off closed in on him, his own one fading away as he snapped out both of his hands before him, the air shimmering as he called fourth the lost dark souls around him.

Makuramon's body reformed just long enough for it to intercept the attack and shatter it into digital data once more, protecting the dark digimon from harm, his mouth splitting apart in a grin as he watched Wargreymon curse. "Try all you want, I am far too superior a digimon for you to kill."

"He can talk." Taichi mumbled out as he watched the digimon that had spent most of the fight grunting, or just yelling out attack names as he pounded lose of his partner digimon. "Never mind that, just destroy him already, try to hit him from behind!"

Before he could respond, Wargreymon found himself taking a steep dive as several mugen cannon shots rained down after him, the whole thing followed by yet another one of those blasted spheres he had tossed out of his mouth. "I can't hit him from behind Taichi, the networks in the way, unless you want me to destroy that first, giving him the few seconds needed to kill you two."

Getting showed backwards as the ship shuddered, Taiko narrowed her eyes as she watched the vaccine digimon do a quick turn, flying upwards once more. "Destroy the network."

"I got it!" Taiko screamed out as she snapped her fingers, a solution so obvious it should have come to the both of them a lot sooner. "Taichi, listen to me, Wargreymon has to destroy the network, not Milleniumon." Yelling loudly to overpower the sound of the battle, she froze as she felt Taichi grab her and pull her down.

Grabbing Taichi's arm as they both fell down, she looked up to see a brightly glowing sphere flying over them with barely any space left between it and them. "Aw man, this plan better work."

Grunting as she felt the deck of the partly shattered ship impact her, her teeth snapped shut with a sickening sound, nearly biting off a part of her tongue in the process, still, she ignored the pain as she heard Milleniumon roar loudly in anger. "You told me that when the Dark network in your world was destroyed, it opened a black hole that swallowed you and Metal-Greymon up."

Facing her, Taichi grinned as he thought about it, before his head turned back around to look up at Wargreymon dancing around a Mugen Cannon attack, each of the glowing bullets ripping through the air and ships with ease as he neared them, no doubt trying to keep the dark digimon from attacking them.

But as he watched, he spotted what Taiko had meant, and understanding slowly grew on his face as he turned back and nodded at her briefly, before giving his partner digimon all of his attention, hoping that he could hear him. "Wargreymon, forget him, forget us, and just destroy the dark network!"

At first, it didn't look like his partner had heard him, but then the dragon man digimon did a quick turn, his body glowing as he angled himself upwards a bit as he increased in speed, the power he had gathered up flaring out around him as he started to spin around. "Great Tornado!"

Still about halfway stuck in the portal, the synthetic digimon stopped roaring as he watched the orange glowing attack rip into the infernal device hurting him, trapping him between the worlds like this. "You miserable beast, I'll rip your data apart, and delete each fragment bit by bit!"

Lashing out with all fours hands, he struggled to pull himself out, just to have those arcs of darkness once again flaring up and preventing him from doing so. "I'll kill you all for this, before I destroy this world!"

Then a powerful grinding noise erupted, the great tornado attack drilling slowly and firmly through the mass of wires and metal making up the massive device as Wargreymon opened a path right through every single little bit of machinery, only to emerged almost at the very top of the network in a geyser of dark power, arcs of energy ripping even more parts of the network lose.

His body still glowing as he came out of the tornado attack, Wargreymon ended his spin as he faced the network slightly below him, power flaring up around him. "This is it, the final strike! Gaia Force!"

The sphere of raw power drawn in from the air spun lazily around as it was hurled right down through the hole Wargreymon had cut in the network, only to explode about halfway down as it finally hit some lose cables, the resulting blast tearing out just through the hole at the top and bottom, but also through the sides of the network.

Milleniumon's cry of pain enough to nearly deafen both Taichi and Taiko as the dark power and explosion overloaded the dark portal, resulting in an instant shutdown that had the, for the synthetic digimon, unfortunate result of his body getting cut cleanly in half, his mouth and eyes opening wide as no amount of his dark powers could save him from that, nor the side effects of the dark explosion engulfing his remaining half.

Still lying on the ship deck, both Taichi and Taiko watched as the dark digimon faded away, his left over data fragments hovering in the air before the massive pull started up, the data swallowed in seconds, soon to be joined by the other ships and left over network parts, even the ship they were on had started to drift towards the dimensional black hole. "Great, we're going to get swallowed up again!"

"So what, maybe it will send us somewhere nicer!" Taiko spat back, before spotting Wargreymon rushing towards them, his arms spreading out as he landed on the ship deck to pick them up, before rushing off again, leaving the ship to get sucked into the black hole.

The air still screaming with the wind rush as Wargreymon struggled to avoid the pull for a second or two, then it finally let up as the last of the network vanished.

Nothing but calm winds passing by them as they just hovered there. "See, I told you it would work out."

The death glare Taichi sent her were enough to make her drop the arrogant look and face away from him. "At least it got rid of Milleniumon."

Opening his mouth to respond with a yeah, Taichi stopped as the silence around them were broken by a series of rather loud, crackling sounds, the air itself heating up around them as the wind picked up again, only this time it was moving around in a circle pattern and not being devoured by black hole. "What going on now?"

His answer coming in the form of a loud roar as a sudden shockwave of darkness ripped out from the final place the dark network had been, the force of it sending Wargreymon flying backwards, along with them as they crashed through the area where the cloud shield had been.

Taichi, Taiko and Wargreymon staring in shock as they fell, their eyes blinking as they refused to accept the fact that the shockwave were shattering the cloud shield as it spread out, the darkness pouring down over the digital world as it kept flowing out from what looked like a reversed black hole.

"Come on, what is this, we just got rid of the bad guy, and the dark network, so what all this about?" Taiko ranted as she felt Wargreymon regain his balance in midair, his body tensing up as he watched something emerge from the outside of the sudden storm.

His eyes quickly narrowing as the shadow took on a solid form, looking very much like a golden armour blue white digimon warrior, a warrior focused entirely on them. "What kind of digimon is that?"

In his arms, Taichi and Taiko had tensed up as well, both of them clearly expecting the same kind of trouble that he were, even more so as he could feel Taichi's mind struggling to find a way for them to get out of another fight in one piece, while Taiko seemed happy to see the digimon for some reason.

Stopping just before them, the digimon didn't speak a single word as the storm died down once more, his golden eyes moving across all three of them, but lingering just a tad longer on Taichi then need be. "I am Magnamon; I serve the guardian of this realm."

Holding out his arm, the digimon focused completely on Taichi and Taiko as he moved closer to them. "The digivices you were given by Michi, give them back to me children, and we can all leave here in peace."

--

Far below the surface of Refugia, Wisemon bowed his head in silence and stepped back as light flared up, each of the four balls before him lighting up at first, before completely cracking as data flowed out from them, gathering together into fours areas, but never having the same size or shape.

Observing each one, Wisemon slowly fell to his knees as first one digimon, and then the other merged into life, eyes scanning him and the room silently, before gazing upwards above them, a metallic dragon machine like digimon grunting as he landed on the ground. "The time has come-"

"-The cleansing of darkness-" A large serpent like digimon continued as he curled up in mid air, massive head staring upwards unrelenting.

Next to them, a humanoid digimon landed on the ball he had emerged from, twin swords spinning around in his hands as he lifted up his head to face them all. "-Will now be commenced-"

"-So all can bask in the light." The final member finished, a large dragon man like digimon wearing Wargreymon like armour hovering above the ground.

Slamming two massive metallic hands into the ground, the first digimon chuckled as he watched the rest of them. "The first darkness is above us, let us find it and destroy it." His head moving around to focus on the armour covered oversized seadramon like digimon hovering above. "Let none stand in our way to cleanse this world."

At the command, the Seadramon like digimon shot off into the air, his body shimmering as he slid into ground above, the faint outline of a gate partly spotted as the digimon faded from sight.

Lowering his head, the machine dragon focused on the remaining two digimons visible besides him. "I sense a presence in this world, a presence that shouldn't be here." Waving a hand, he watched as the dragon man digimon and humanoid digimon faded from view as well, leaving through a different portal. "Find the child of light, so we can start the revival process at once."

"Our lord and master shall be reborn once more, to lead us to a future of peace beneath the beauty of the light."

"All Hail Chronomon, savior of all who lives."

Fading away as well, he followed after the others, leaving only Wisemon in the room, the robed digimon rising to his feet again as soon as the four had left. "So it begins, the battle for our world starts now"

--

Regarding the three before him, Magnamon continued to hold out his hand, waiting patiently for them to accept the agreement and hand over the digivices, still. "The longer you wait, the more I am convinced that only a show of brute force can compel you to agree." As he spoke, he tilted his head to indicate to Wargreymon he fact that he couldn't fight back with two kids in his arms, let alone hope to even shield them if it came down to a fight. "If it will help you make up your mind, I swear not to harm as much a single member of your group, now or later if you hand over the digivice to me."

Opening his mouth to tell the digimon to get lose, Taichi froze as the wind picked up shortly, before a glowing purple portal opened up below them, a long serpentine body moving out through it as the light around them glinted off its metallic outer hide. "I am Chaos Seadramon!"

Then the air shimmered purple off to the side as a digimon far too much like Wargreymon emerged, it's amour a complete copy pf his partner digimons, but with several different colors, and he seemed a bit bigger then his partner, not by much, but still bigger overall. "Chaos Greymon!"

Then he was followed by a clown like humanoid digimon, sporting four swords strapped to his back, and wearing an elaborate mask and black clothes with yellow diamond marks, complete with white boots and gloves. "Chaos Piemon!"

Than it all ended as a large rust red colored, completely metallic digimon like digimon emerged, landing on the back of the serpentine digimons head with a loud clang. "Chaos Dramon!"

"We are the lords of chaos, faithful servants of the god of light, Chronomon." Facing down the two digimons and two humans before them, they slowly spread out surround them. "We are here to bring about the cleansing of the world!"

Opening his mouth, Taichi shot a quick look around the area. "Well, fuck." The four, no five evil digimons facing them all down, well, not Magnamon, he were also eyeing those Lords of Chaos with a wary look. "We are dead meat."

Wargreymon and Taiko merely nodded in agreement as they took in the number of opponents.

"Not really boy." Piccolomon's voice cut in as the bubble he had use to transport himself and Plotmon in became visible, the pink walls swallowing up the dragon man like digimon and his two human passengers. "Your destiny is not yet over, there are more to each of you then I expected."

Fading away as it speed way from them, the lords of chaos growled as the bubble completely vanished, Chaos Seadramon starting to move in the direction it had move in, stopped as he felt Chaos Dramon tap his head. "Leave them be for now, I need to confer with the rest of the lords, this world is trouble almost beyond help."

Turning to regard Magnamon, The four ultimate digimons slowly closed in on him. "Who are you? You smell different from the others digimons in this world." Chaos Greymon started as he hovered right behind the smaller, golden armoured digimon. "It is as if your body is just."

The rest lost as Magnamon shot off, his body diving downwards in a rapid fall that left the four of them facing empty air at first, before spotting him down below.

"The silent type." Chaos Piemon added as he unsheathed a sword from his back. "I request the mission to hunt this one down for further questioning."

Chaos Dramon merely nodding in agreement focused on both Chaos Seadramon and Chaos Greymon next. "As for you two, Chaos Seadramon shall hunt down those children; I wish to know what their place is in this world." Twisting his head he regarded Chaos Greymon more closely. "As for you, I sense the presence of a dark entity far to the north off here, one that matches the majority of the darkness in this world."

Bowing at the words, Chaos Greymon eyes glowed as power flowed up around him. "I shall destroy the source of darkness myself sir, I can assure you that not a bit of it will remain once I'm done."

"For the future world of light and peace, make sure you don't fail." Fading away in a burst of red light, Chaos Dramon left the three remaining lords of chaos stood silently before spreading out, the dragon man digimon of the group heading towards File City, while Chaos Piemon shot straight down in pursuit of Magnamon, with Chaos Seadramon going after Piccolomon's bubble.

--

Silence had filled the room ever since he had witnessed the end of the fight, and Magnamon's appearance on the scene of the battle, but to his supreme delight, the lords of chaos mentioned by that fool Wisemon had finally shown themselves to him at last. "Everything is coming together so nicely, like a puzzle." Titling his head to the side as he chuckled, he looked down at his hand, watching it intently. "After so long a time of waiting, everything is nearly in place, soon the power of evolution shall be mine."

Spinning around to face the tubes lining his room, he chuckled as he planted one hand on the nearest one, staring intro open, yet unseeing eyes. "Go fourth my chosen ones, slay the Lords of Chaos, defeat them for me and open the gate of darkness at the heart of it all, the one true pathway to all evolution."

Tilting his head back, a cold unrelenting laughter erupted fourth as he continued to feel amusement at the struggles played out before him. "Once that happens, everything shall evolve into the perfect life form."

"And I shall be the leader of that glorious event."

--

TBC: Magnamon has appeared, and so have the lords of chaos, will Taichi and Taiko have what it takes to stand up to these digimons emerging to challenge all who lives, who is the guardian and what is his obsession with evolution, and what of Hikaru and Devimon, not to mention Michi and Tentomon along with Juni and Yamato.

Stay tuned as the lords of chaos arrives to cleanse Refugia of all evil, starting with Hikaru and Devimon in the Prophecy of light and darkness arc.
