Chapter 12

They soon met up with Tai, Joe, and Mimi, and Yumi was happy to see them again. She asked, "Wait, where's Sora?" "We haven't seen her." Miharumon got worried, and started sniffing around for Biyomon. Everyone got a signal on their Digivices, and started walking towards where Sora would be. As they were walking through the forest, a large, bee-like Digimon flew at them, shooting his stingers at them. Izzy went on his laptop and found that it was Flymon, an insect-type Digimon. He shot a stinger at Yumi, who just barely dodged it, and Miharumon, out of anger, shot a Howling Inferno. Tsunomon and Koromon Digivolved to Gabumon and Agumon.

When Flymon was about to shoot a stinger at Miharumon, Birdramon appeared. Everyone looked up, and Birdramon used Meteor Wing, and Flymon fell, burning, to the ground. Birdramon flew off, and everyone followed her, knowing she was headed back to Sora. They started chasing her, and Tai cut her off. Yumi asked, catching her breath, "Why are you running away from us, Sora?" "Don't you like us anymore?" T.K. questioned, and Sora shook her head. Biyomon landed next to Sora and asked, "Why don't you tell them, Sora?" Sora explained that she saw Demidevimon talking to something in a giant bubble, and how he said she'd never get her crest to glow.

Miharumon said, "But you have the Crest of Love. Why wouldn't it glow?" "Cause I've grown up not knowing what love is." She explained how she had once been on a girl's soccer team, and how her mom didn't let her go and took her off the team.
Sora believed Demidevimon, like Yumi had. "And my crest still won't glow!" Yumi put a hand on Sora's shoulder, saying, "Sora, if anyone can make the Crest of Love glow, it'll be you. At least…you have a crest." Miharumon lowered her ears, and Yumi tried to brighten, saying, "And with all of us here, I'm sure it'll glow in no time!" Izzy, Joe, and Mimi finally caught up with them at that moment.

That night, they all slept around a campfire. Miharumon woke up to a strange flapping sound, and opened her eyes to see Demidevimon throw a dart at Sora, but hit Biyomon instead. "BIYOMON!!" Miharumon cried, jumping to her feet. She snarled at Demidevimon, when the sky went dark. Everyone else had woken up by this time, and they saw a strange carriage fly over them, dropping a coffin. Suddenly, a vampire-like Digimon broke out of the coffin, and Sora said, "That's the thing that Demidevimon was talking to!" "He's not a thing! He's Lord Myotismon!" Demidevimon said.

Myotismon used Grizzly Wing, and the Digimon blasted the away, after Motimon Digivolved to Tentomon, Palmon Digivolved to Togemon, and Gomamon Digivolved to Ikkakumon. When the bats were destroyed, Miharumon ran low, shooting a Howling Inferno. It struck, but it didn't do much. Yumi took tight hold of her Digivice, saying, "Miharumon, Digivolve!!" Miharumon looked back at her, nodded, and Digivolved to Haramon. She shot a Howling Tornado, but Myotismon dodged. He used Crimson Lightning, knocking away the Rookie Digimon, and Togemon and Ikkakumon. Haramon used Slashing Fangs, destroying his Crimson Lightning, and snarled at him.

He used Crimson Lightning, trying to capture her, but she used Slashing Fangs, destroying it before it got too close. "A wild one, I see." He said, amused. Haramon said, "Well, my name means wilderness. You can't capture a wolf that easily, Myotismon!"
He used Grizzly Wing, and she blasted away the bats. Yumi ran forward, saying, "Be careful, Haramon!" Suddenly, his Crimson Lightning struck Haramon straight through the chest, and Yumi ran to her fallen Digimon. "Haramon. Haramon! HARAMON!! Wake up, Haramon!" "Is that all she has? She's easier to capture than I thought!" Yumi glared at Myotismon, and said, "Don't insult Haramon! She's stronger than you could possibly imagine!" "Really? Prove it. Make her Digivolve to Ultimate."

Yumi flinched, gripping her tag. "Oh, so you're the one that hasn't found their crest! And you expect to beat me without it?" "You'll pay for hurting Haramon! Even if it's the last thing I do!" The Digimon, except Biyomon, were beaten down, and Biyomon was in no condition to fight. Haramon started to rise, slowly and shakily, but she did. Yumi was by her side, and Haramon said, "We'll take you down, because you hurt our friends!" She shot a Howling Tornado, and he dodged, using Crimson Lightning. It wrapped around Haramon's neck, and he pulled her sharply forward, making her fall forward. "HARAMON!" Yumi cried, running to Haramon's head.

"You weaklings can't defeat me!" Suddenly, Biyomon Digivolved to Birdramon and shot a Meteor Wing. He used his cloak to block the attack, and then used Crimson Lightning, striking Birdramon. Sora was running to her, saying, "No! Birdramon, I love you!" Her crest was glowing, and Birdramon Digivolved to Garudamon. She picked up Sora, and used Wing Blade. Myotismon countered with Grizzly Wing, as Garudamon picked everyone up and flew away.
