Chapter 22
Yumi was sitting in front of her computer, bored to death, when, though the Digiport, she heard Mimi call for help. She bolted upright, and Iinomon jumped onto the keyboard. Yumi held out her Digivice, going to the Digital World, and met up with the others. Miharumon Armor-Digivolved to Michiyomon, and Yumi jumped onto her back. Michiyomon led them to Mimi, and Yumi asked, "What's wrong?" "Golemon is going to destroy the dam and flood the city!" Yumi got off Michiyomon's back, and saw Mimi holding an injured Palmon.
"Michiyomon, give him your best shot." Michiyomon nodded, ready to avenge Palmon, and flew down with the other Digimon. Golemon was already climbing the dam, and Pegasusmon and Nefertimon used Golden Noose. When they had captured him, Michiyomon shot a Howling Missile. It didn't affect him, and Raidramon's, Digmon's, and Shurimon's attacks didn't do anything at all. Golemon smashed Pegasusmon and Nefertimon against the dam, and Michiyomon flew up, followed by Masahiromon, who shot his Jackal Claw.
They bounced off harmlessly, and Michiyomon bit down on Golemon's arm as he punched a hole in the dam. As the other Digimon ran to stop the water, Golemon smashed Michiyomon against the dam, trying to wrench loose her hold. She refused to let go, and Masahiromon flew up, shooting his Jackal Claw. It didn't work, but he flew up as fast as he could, and bit down hard on Golemon's other arm, which was about to punch Michiyomon. "Michiyomon!!" Yumi yelled. Davis said, "We need to help! Let's call Ken." Yumi nodded, not minding, but Yolei and Cody were opposed to the idea. Yumi said, "The only way to win is to destroy Golemon." "We can't! We'll be no better then Ken!" Yolei objected, and Cody agreed.
"Yolei, you need to make tough decisions in order to save lives! I know you don't like it, but Ken did what he thought was best! I won't have you judging him solely on his past! People can change! I've changed myself, and I think Ken deserves a second chance!" Yumi retorted. Before Yolei could retort, cries of pain were heard from the Digimon, and everyone looked at the dry riverbed to see all of the Digimon in their Rookie forms, beaten up on the floor. "MIHARUMON!!"
Yumi yelled, and looked to the dam to see Golemon about to punch it. She knew that if he succeeded, their Digimon would drown in the current, when Palmon woke up, telling them that Golemon was made from a Control Spire. T.K. surmised that Thundermon must have been made from a Control Spire too, and that Ken already knew. Stingmon appeared, stopping Golemon from breaking the dam, and attacked him.
After a while, Yolei's Digivice began to glow, and Hawkmon Digivolved to Aquilamon. Together, Stingmon and Aquilamon destroyed Golemon, and the dam was saved. Ken apologized for what he'd done, and Davis asked him to join them. Miharumon said, "We need your help, Ken, but take your time with your decision. We won't force you into it." "Thank you, Miharumon."
He never would have imagined Miharumon forgiving him for all of the things he'd done to her, but it made him believe that the others would come around, too. He left, and Yumi said, "He'll come back. He's Digidestined after all." If Matt came back to the group, then Ken can too. She thought.
