Chapter 25
They had been destroying Control Spires the whole morning, and Haramon asked, "Can we take a break?" "Sure." Yumi smiled, patting Haramon on the head as she Dedigivolved to Miharumon. T.K. and Kari went to get some sodas, and Yumi sat down on a rock. Miharumon was sleeping soundly beside her until she heard Yolei and Davis talking about a plan to bring Ken and Cody together as friends. Miharumon said, "They're going to try and get them to be friends?" "Who?" Yumi questioned, but noticed Ken and Cody sitting apart from each other. "Oh…"
She saw Davis say something, and Armadillomon Armor-Digivolved to Digmon and Wormmon Digivolved to Stingmon before they destroyed a Control Spire. Yumi watched as Armadillomon and Wormmon were happy, but Ken and Cody didn't say a word. After they said something to Davis and Yolei, Ken left with Wormmon. She got off the rock, and asked, "What did you guys do?" Davis pointed at Yolei, saying, "IT WAS HER IDEA!!!" Yumi massaged her temples, saying, "I asked what you guys did, not whose idea it was." Cody went on top of a huge rock, and no one could coax him to come down.
After T.K. and Kari got back, Yumi had to explain the situation, and sighed as she grabbed a soda. As she took a drink, Davis said, "Maybe I should talk to them about acting their own age…" Yumi choked on her drink in surprise, and coughed. "E-Excuse me!" She saw a Jeep, with Arukenimon and Mummymon in it. She tensed, glaring, and Miharumon snarled. Davis thought they were mad at him, until Yumi turned him around. "What do you want here, Arukenimon?" Yumi asked. "So you could meet a new friend…"
She pulled out hairs and used Spirit Needle. Many Control Spires lifted into the air as the Jeep drove away. Miharumon Digivolved to Haramon, Akiramon to Kazumamon, Veemon to Exveemon, Armadillomon to Ankylomon, Hawkmon to Aquilamon, Patamon Armor-Digivolved to Pegasusmon, and Gatomon to Nefertimon. Kari went on Nefertimon, and T.K. on Pegasusmon, and flew ahead. The Control Spires converged, and made Black Wargreymon.
Yumi's eyes widened as her heartbeat quickened, hammering her ribcage. "Black Wargreymon." Haramon said, stopping when a black light hit Nefertimon and Pegasusmon out of the sky, knocking them out. "Kari! T.K.!" Yumi yelled, worried. Kazumamon shot a Piercing Arrow at Black Wargreymon, who brushed it off like a mosquito before jumping down, punching Kazumamon.
"Kazumamon!" Obana yelled. Haramon shot a Howling Tornado, making him jump back. Haramon jumped at him, using Slashing Fangs, but he caught her, throwing her into a rock. "Haramon!" Yumi yelled, running to Haramon's head. "Are you okay?" "I'm…fine. He'll have to try harder to bring ME down…" Yumi smiled, when Aquilamon left with Yolei.
Haramon stood, shooting a Howling Tornado, and dodged, shielding Yumi, as he tried to slash at her. Aquilamon came back with Ken and Stingmon, who DNA-Digivolved with Exveemon to become Paildramon. They shot at him, but it didn't even make a scratch." Yumi felt her hope sink, and said, "If no one can Digivolve further, we're sunk!"
At that moment, he began to glow brightly with a destructive force, and Haramon shielded her from the brunt of the attack. Everyone Dedigivolved, and Yumi felt loosely connected to the world…in a place between consciousness and unconsciousness. She saw Black Wargreymon disobey Arukenimon and leave. She thought, I wonder…if the others are alright…She passed out the next moment.
