Chapter 28
More and more Destiny Stones were being destroyed, and it broke Yumi's heart. There were two left, and Yumi was determined to save them both. The first one they found was at the bottom of the ocean, so Cody went down with Submarimon. Haramon said, "We'll get him this time. He won't win." Yumi nodded, and the ground shook violently as Black Wargreymon appeared. Paildramon and Silphymon attacked him, but he was too powerful. Haramon jumped up, shooting a Howling Tornado, but he cut it in half, hitting her away. Kazumamon shot a Piercing Arrow, but it didn't even scratch Black Wargreymon's armor. He made the sea part by using Terra Force, and Cody stood in his way.
"Cody!" Yumi, on Haramon's back, jumped in-between them. "He has a HEART, Yumi! It would be like destroying Haramon!" Yumi was shaken by Cody's words, and she said, "I just can't let him hurt anyone else." Haramon snarled, saying, "If only I could Digivolve to Ayumimon…" "If only…" Black Wargreymon ran at them, and while Angemon saved Cody and Armadillomon, the stone began to glow. "Haramon! Digivolve!" Haramon Dedigivolved to Miharumon before Warp-Digivolving to Ayumimon. "Who's this?" "My name's Ayumimon. If you want a challenge, here I am." Ayumimon used Rock Fist, punching him in the face.
He used Terra Force, but she used Wall of Earth, though it shattered, and used Ice Sword. He blocked it, and threw the sword. She used Water Whip, pinning his arms to his sides. "Ayumimon…be careful…" Black Wargreymon used Black Tornado, breaking the whip, and went straight for the Destiny Stone. "NO!!" Ayumimon used Lightning Bolt, but it struck a moment too late. The Destiny Stone was already destroyed. Yumi felt her knees shake as a large Digimon appeared, but it looked like a hologram.
When it disappeared, Black Wargreymon got mad and left. Ayumimon Dedigivolved to Miharumon, who whimpered, falling into a sitting position.
"I failed, Yumi. I wasn't fast enough. I should have destroyed him when I had the chance! But…" "But…" "Cody said…he had a heart…I can't kill anything with a heart…" Yumi understood, and hugged her Digimon, saying, "At least you tried." They went back to the real world, and Davis thought it would be a good idea if they all went to his house to think of ways to protect the last Destiny Stone. "Sorry, but I can't make it. See you guys later, though!" Yumi said before going home, Iinomon sulking in her arms. She got home before her mom, and went to the couch. "I wonder who our partner will be, though…" "Maybe T.K., or Cody…it could be Obana…" "Your right. All I really want is to protect our worlds. As long as I do that, I don't care who I'm paired with."
The night was uneventful, and she woke up to her phone ringing. She picked it up. "Hello…" "Hey! It Kari. We need you to help look for the last Destiny Stone." "Okay, okay…I'll be there in a sec…" She hung up the phone, changed, and shook Iinomon awake. When they made it to the Digital World, Miharumon had finally broken her complaining habit. They had been walking around for a while when they saw China Town. "Let's take a break…PLEASE! I'm hungry…" Miharumon said, giving Yumi the puppy-dog eyes.
"Fine. Let's go eat. Come on, Obana." They headed to a restaurant…to find Arukenimon and Mummymon there already. "What are you weirdo's doing here?" Yumi demanded as Miharumon Digivolved to Haramon, snarling. After all of the Digimon had Digivolved to their Champion levels, Haramon shot a Howling Tornado. Arukenimon dodged, and Haramon used Slashing Fangs, almost cutting the evil Digimon in half.
The others were forced back, and, without Ken there, Exveemon couldn't DNA-Digivolve, and Gatomon and Aquilamon didn't have enough energy. "Well isn't THIS great!" Yumi complained quietly, before Haramon was thrown back against Kazumamon.
At that moment, Arukenimon and Mummymon Dedigivolved and ran away, chasing Digitamamon and another Digimon. That's when Ken arrived, and they all agreed they had to replenish themselves before giving chase. They made a quick meal, and ate greedily…at least, Miharumon did.
At that moment, the sky went dark and thunder and lightning streaked the sky. "Something must have happened to the Destiny Stone!" Yumi was on her feet in a moment, and they all ran, following the powerful glow from the Destiny Stone. They saw Black Wargreymon was there already, so they DNA-Digivolved. Paildramon and Silphymon held him off, but they were losing. That's when Ankylomon and Angemon DNA-Digivolved into Shakkoumon. They were doing well, but he was about to destroy the stone. Yumi turned to Obana, saying, "It's time we worked together."
Obana nodded, and Haramon and Kazumamon DNA-Digivolved into Yumimon. Yumimon was a young woman with white hair and blackened tips. She had chest armor and a white and black fur skirt. She wore a mask that was half white wolf and half white jackal, and had a long staff with a long blade at the end. "It's time you went down, Black Wargreymon!" Yumimon used Lunar Staff Strike, where the staff split into three pieces, and it was more flexible and maneuverable. She lashed out at Black Wargreymon, and he used his shield.
As it cracked with the force of all of the attacks, Yumimon said, "We can't let you destroy this world or theirs! We're protecting our friends and everyone else! We won't let you hurt them!" With that, the blade on the staff shattered his shield, making him fly away. That's when a strange light caught Yumimon's eye, and she turned to see the Destiny Stone glowing by the power of the Digivices. That's when Azulongmon appeared, and he convinced Black Wargreymon to stop fighting.
As he left, all of the Digimon Dedigivolved. Amanemon jumped into Yumi's arms, and she hugged her tight. "You must be the Digidestined. I am Azulongmon. I protect the western region of the Digital World." "Are we done saving the worlds? Can we stop fighting?" Yumi questioned, holding Amanemon close. "No. There is a force more powerful than Arukenimon and Mummymon out there, and you must stop it. I believe in your crests." "Our crests?" "Yes. The Crest of Light and the Crest of Hope were brought back to help us fight the darkness." "But what about the Crest of Loyalty and the Crest of Trust?" "They are what binds you all together! If it weren't for your loyalty, none of you would be here right now! And without Obana's trust, you never would have DNA-Digivolved." "But…what about the Destiny Stones?" "I'll plant my Seeds of Light, and, one day, they will take on the same purpose as the Destiny Stones."
He grew serious as he continued. "But protect the worlds. Remember, wherever there is darkness, there is light. That is the balance of the worlds." With that, he left, and Yumi said, "And wherever there's trouble, we'll be there to fix it!"
