There he stood laughing at their faces. "Let's beat them good, Blackvelocimon," Jason said. He held out a dark looking D-X. Blackvelocimon jumped onto the ground.

"Blackvelocimon digivolve to Blacktyromon." Blacktyromon was like Blackvelocimon, black with red marks.

Jason now jumped to the ground. A dark crest glowed around his neck. "Let me show you the crest of fear," Jason said.

"Blacktyromon digivolve to Blackmetaltyromon," The metal on him was a dark blue color.

"Digital Armor activate." Black armor formed around Jason. It looked like Blackwargreymon's armor. He held a great sword.

The other digimon quickly digivolved to their ultimate forms. "We don't want to fight you, Jason!" Gre yelled.

Jason just laughed and launched himself at Gre. Weretokumon got in the way, but Jason easily defeated him. He digitized him into a digiegg. Gre quickly activated his armor. His armor now had claws on his gloves.

He quickly shot his blasters at Jason, but to no avail. Jason blocked them with his sword and swung at Gre. Gre closed his eyes as the blade came down to hit him. But it didn't hit. Gre opened his eyes to see Warriormon holding him off. Gre shot a blast at Jason's chest, sending him flying backwards. But Jason just laughed and stood up unscratched.

"Purr of Harmony." The 5 digimon fighting Blackmetaltyromon stopped. Blackmetaltyromon was in pain from the melody of the purr. Jason was also in pain. A large black sphere emerged from Jason's back and with it the black armor disappeared. Realizing what had happened, he threw the crest and dark D-X at Blackvelocimon, who had digitized back from Blackmetaltyromon. Jason staggered over to Velocimon.

"I'm sorry," Jason said. The purr had stopped.

Gre shot at the black sphere, but nothing happened. The digimon tried attacking, but it wouldn't let itself be destroyed. Slowly the black sphere turned into a person that looked like Jason, except with black hair. This new person laughed maniacally, like Jason had moments before.

"I'm Nosa, the dark version of Jason. I serve Darklordmon and cannot be stopped," he said. He then summoned the Dark crest and Dark D-X to him. The digital armor formed around Nosa. It was the armor Jason was wearing not too long before. He then lunged himself at Warriormon and digitized him into a digiegg.

"No!" everyone yelled.

Nosa just laughed as he stood by Blackvelocimon. A black cloud came and took the two away. Everyone look at the digiegg. They then looked back at Jason. Or where Jason had been. Everyone was speechless. When they needed their leader, he had run like a coward. The digimon reverted back to the rookie forms.

"I'm sorry," Gre said to Orbmon.

"There is no need to be sorry, Gre. You did what you could. Don't worry. We'll restore Lordmon to his rightful glory. At that time, he'll reward you for your bravery. All of you," Orbmon said to comfort them.

"But...what about Jason? He ran like a coward," Leslie said angrily.

"No, I think he ran away to protect you. I think part of him was still awake while he was under Darklordmon's control. I think it may have upset him more than anyone else," Orbmon told them.

Meanwhile, Jason walked through the forest. He now had his normal crest, D-X, and digimon partner. Velocimon was against splitting away from the group, but he didn't want to be away from his friend.

"Listen, Velocimon. Part of the black sphere may still be in me. If it is, I may be a danger to the team. I just… I just need some time to myself. With you, of course, but just us," Jason told Velocimon. Velocimon understood and followed Jason's lead.
