As soon as the group of heroes made it out of the cave, they were surprised to find themselves outside the forest, one from the DATS Digital World, only now it was mixed with a huge ball in the sky, like in the Tamers Digital World.
Seeing this, Takuya commented. "Azulongmon wasn't kidding about our Digital Worlds merging into one."
"If only we knew where to start looking for whoever was behind all of this, then we could stop it." Davis said, simplifying the situation.
However, they all felt the ground shake, making Tai turn and call out. "I hate to say this, but I think there may be an enemy Digimon on the way here!"
All turned, facing Tai and saw a Tyrannomon charging at them, to which they all saw its eyes were completely red as it then roared out aggressively.
"Look out!" Veemon gasped as Tyrannomon used his Dino Kick on the ground, creating a large shockwave that hit Davis, Takuya and Veemon, knocking the three backwards into the forest.
"Davis! Veemon! Takuya!" Takato called out in concern.
However, after Tyrannomon let out another roar, the brunette had to worry about himself, Guilmon and his new allies.
"I've had enough of this! Agumon, it's fighting time!" Marcus called out as he rushed up to Tyrannomon and punched the huge Digimon on the head, amazing them.
However, after striking the Digimon, Marcus was shocked to see his hand was not covered in Data, making his Agumon question. "Boss, what's happening?"
"I don't know. I can't get any Data to allow you to Digivolve" Marcus said, before he jumped back, avoiding a Slash Claw attack from the enraged Tyrannomon.
"Then Shoutmon, Gumdramon, you've gotta Digivolve!" Tagiru called out.
"Something is wrong." Gumdramon said in reply, before telling his partner. "After we left that temple, it feels like I lost all my powers."
"He's right. I feel so weak." Shoutmon added.
"What are you talking about?" Tai's Agumon asked, confused, before he stated. "I don't feel weak. In fact, I feel more powerful than ever."
"Me as well." Patamon added.
"Maybe it has something to do with the world's merge?" Guilmon guessed, for he didn't feel weakened either.
"Of course. I get it now! Because our worlds are merging, it's messing up our Digimon's powers. However, Agumon, Patamon and Guilmon already has their Dig-Weapons, so once we get those, they be unaffected by the change." TK then explained.
"Then it's time to put those new weapons to the test!" Tai said, making TK and Takato nod in agreement with the original Digidestined of Courage.
Agumon, Patamon and Guilmon grabbed their swords and got into fighting positions, ready to take on the Tyrannomon.
Seeing the three Digimon, Tyrannomon ceased his attacks against Marcus, faced the Digimon and attacked.
"Fire Blast!" He yelled, unleashing a great amount of flames from his maw at them.
However, the three Digimon leapt out of the way, avoiding the attack with ease.
"Light Sphere!" Patamon announced as he twirled his sword around and unleashed a orb of light that struck Tyrannomon.
However, he still remained standing.
"Oh I see. Because our bodies changed we've gained new abilities. I sure hope we kept our old original ones." Agumon said.
"Pepper Breath!" He then called out as he fired a fireball from his mouth, which Tyrannomon dodged, slicing it to pieces with his claws.
"I guess we can. But let's try this. Pyro Hurricane!" Guilmon announced as he held his sword and slashed it in front of him, creating a powerful whirlwind of flames that hit Tyrannomon, knocking the Champion Digimon back a little.
But despite the attack, he was still glaring at the three, wanting to crush them into Data particles.
-Meanwhile-
As Agumon, Patamon and Guilmon continued to fight, Davis, Veemon and Takuya, after hitting some trees from their impact, managed to pull themselves up.
"Ok. That Tyrannomon is asking for it!" Davis said, about to rush back with Veemon and unleash his power of Courage upon it.
But before Davis and Veemon left, Takuya saw something in the distance and called out to them, getting their attention.
Before Takuya was two more Digi-Weapons, both embedded in stone slabs.
The first one was a rapier that had the Crest of Miracles on its guard rest, while the second Digi-Weapon consisted of two fire-like daggers.
Upon seeing the blades, Davis commented. "Digi-Weapons. In a place like this. How lucky are we?"
While Davis and Veemon remained in place, Takuya, as if he had been placed under a form of control, slowly walked up to the daggers and was about to grab them.
However, a bright light suddenly shone from his jacket, causing the D-Tector he had relinquished back in his Digital World then fell out and glowed, causing Takuya to scream, for something was happening to him.
"Takuya!" Davis called out in concern, seeing the energy consuming Takuya, which looked like it was too much for him as he then blacked out.
-A while later-
"Takuya? Takuya, are you ok?"
Takuya groaned and slowly awoke, looking up to see Davis and Veemon looking at him with concern.
"Davis... I'm fine." Takuya said, but had to ask. "But what happened?"
"This is what happened." Davis said as he held up a D-Destiny, which was similar in design to Tai's, TK's and Takato's, only it was blue in colour.
"Your and my Digivices have changed. Mine is blue, Tai's orange, TK's yellow, Takato's red and yours' is a combination of red and black. And look."
Takuya turned to see Veemon, who was not alone, for beside him was a familiar Digimon that had long, orange hair, had no shirt on and wore brown trousers.
"What? Flamon? How are you here?" Takuya gasped, immediately recognising him.
"I don't know. I mean you and I used to be one, but thanks to those daggers, we somehow got separated from each other." Flamon replied, sounding just as confused as Takuya.
"Davis, if me and Flamon pull out these weapons, will our bodies change as well?" Veemon asked.
"Only one way to find out." Davis said in reply, causing Veemon to nod, before the 'V' marked Digimon headed for the Rapier of Miracles and grabbed the hilt, while Flamon use both hands to grab both daggers and removed them, causing the two Digi-Weapons to glow, along with Veemon and Flamon, who both yelled as their bodies began to change.
As the light died down, Davis and Takuya both turned and were surprised by their transformations.
Veemon was now the same height as Tai's Agumon, while his arms, legs and chest had gotten just as muscular, and had also gained a belly button.
He now wore a green loincloth around his sides and back of his waist, with his tail pointing out from the end, while he grasped the rapier proudly in his right hand.
Flamon, while maintaining most of his original features, he was now as tall as Takuya and his body had also gone through a muscular change, as the Fusion Flame Daggers were in his hands.
"Flamemon, you look cool." Takuya grinned.
"And Veemon, you look awesome!" Davis commented.
"Thanks Davis." Veemon smiled, before he practiced his sword skills by swishing his sword around.
But remembering their friends were still facing Tyrannomon, Flamon suggested. "Ok. Let's go and join the others and show them what we're made of!"
-Back at the battle-
Tyrannomon charged again, using his Wild Buster, causing Patamon to fly into the air, avoiding the attack, while Agumon and Guilmon both managed to leap over him.
"Those three are skilled, but we need to end this fight." Mikey said, knowing the three Digimon couldn't fight forever, making Shoutmon nod in reply, while wishing he could summon the strength he needed to help his allies.
Feeling the same way, Tai, TK and Takato also wanted to stop Tyrannomon before he could harm their friends, which seemed to unlock a power within both the blades and their new Digivices, for the symbols on Guilmon's, Agumon's and Patamon's swords began to glow, as did Tai's, Takato's and TK's D-Destinies.
"Tai, you don't think..?" Agumon called over to Tai.
"I don't know, but let's try it." Tai replied, before facing TK and Takato, making both nod in reply, understanding and knowing what Tai had in mind.
"Digi-Hero Energise! Digivolution!" Tai, TK and Patamon called out as the three held up their D-Destines, which glowed brightly.
Agumon held his Sword of Courage up and then announced. "Agumon Digivolve to..."
As Agumon began his call, he set his blade ignited, causing the Digimon of Courage to spin around, making a wall of fire around himself, to which his body changed as the tornado then explodes, revealing Greymon, who was a lot slimmer than his normal self and still held the Sword of Courage, which also grew in size, as did his shield and his loincloth.
"Greymon: Hero Mode!" He roared proudly.
Patamon then held his Blade of Light into the air and called out. "Patamon Digivolve to..." Summoning his power, a huge light came down upon him, engulfing the Digimon of Hope, who too changed form.
When the light faded, it revealed Patamon had Digivolved to Angemon, only his hair was longer than before, he wielded both the Blade of Light and his Angel Rod, while the Crest of Hope was now imprinted on his helmet.
"Angemon: Hero Mode!"
Guilmon spun his Blade of Hazard in the air above his head, announcing as he unleashed its power. "Guilmon digivolve to..."
Impaling the blade into the ground, it causing a huge wall of fire to surround him, before the wall of flames then exploded to reveal Growlmon, who was a lot slimmer and more muscular.
His hair had grown longer, while his scarf, which had remained around his neck had also grown with him, as did the Blade of Hazard, making him call loudly. "Growlmon: Hero Mode!"
After their Digivolutions, everyone was amazed at Greymon, Angemon and Growlmon's changes, making TK then say in awe. "They... they look different from the Angemon and Greymon I know..."
"Hero Mode?" Takato asked, still taken by surprise at the change to Growlmon's form.
"Room for two more?" A voice then asked, making the Digi-Heroes all look to see Davis and Takuya, along with the newly changed Veemon and Flamon run over to them.
"You're ok." Mikey said in relief, before Gumdramon questioned. "Wait... if Veemon and whoever that Digimon is are looking like that, then does that mean you found their Digi-Weapons?"
"You bet we did." Davis replied, before he faced Veemon.
"Ready pal? Let see if this works. Digi Hero Energise! Armour Digivolution!" Davis announced as he held his D-Destiny high into the air, causing it to glow brightly, along with the symbol of Miracles on Veemon's sword.
"You too, Flamon! Digi Hero Energise! Digivolution!" Takuya called out, holding out his D-Destiny and offering his assistance and strength.
Veemon took some swipes with his Rapier of Miracles in the air, before he called out. "Veemon Armour digivolve to..."
His swipes created three symbols appear, one of Courage, and the other Friendship and the third, Miracles,to which Veemon then pressed the Courage symbol with his blade, causing him to glow in a bright orange coloured light.
Flamedramon then appeared, only he too had gone through some changes, most noticeable was his muscular form, the loincloth around his side and back of his waist and the rapier had grown in size, which he wielded in his right hand.
"Flamedramon: Hero Mode!" He called out in a strong tone.
Flamon twirled his two daggers around and yelled. "Flamon digivolve to..."
He then tossed his daggers into the air, which brought down a curtain of flames all over him, which soon dispersed, revealing he had changed to Agunimon, who then held his hands out and grabbed his daggers as they fall back down.
Agunimon still looked the same as he did when he was one with Takuya, only now a cloak appeared around his neck and his body seemed more muscular, causing him to say in a strong tone. "Agunimon: Hero Mode!"
"Incredible. All five of them have achieved such power." Shoutmon commented, knowing not only would the five prove to be a great team, but knew he, Gumdramon and the others would reach such levels when they found the Digi-Weapons intended for them.
"Fire Blast!" Tyrannomon roared out, as he tried to scorch the Digimon, however, Greymon blocked the attack with his shield.
"Nova Spin!" Greymon then called as he held his Sword of Courage and created a huge spin, causing a ring of fire to the form around him.
"Fire Swipes!" Flamedramon announced as he swiped his rapier in mid air, making rapid fire tornados.
"Blade of Fate!" Angemon called out as he fired a huge blast of light energy from the Blade of Hope.
"Pyro Blaster X10!" Growlmon roared out as he held his Blade of Hazard and span it in front of him, causing a huge blast of fire to emerge from it.
"Pyro Daggers!" Agunimon called out, adding his own power, to which he created two blazing dragon shaped flames from his daggers and fired them.
Tyrannomon was unable to escape the five attacks, which then consumed him, causing the Champion Digimon to let out a final roar, filled with pain as he was sent into the sky and disappeared.
"We won!" Davis cheered as they saw the battle was over.
-A while later-
After the Digimon had reverted back to their Rookie forms, Veemon happily showed Tai's Agumon his Rapier of Miracles.
"It's amazing. I can still armour digivolve doing that and I can choose!" He explained, making Agumon smile and say in reply. "I'm glad you found your Digi-Weapon."
"So you and Takuya used to be as one?" Marcus asked, hearing Takuya's story as Flamon, who smiled at his daggers.
"But once you found the Daggers, it somehow split you two apart?" Marcus then questioned.
"Yeah, but at least now I got a Digimon partner." Takuya replied and smiled at Flamon, who smiled as well, before he said. "Wait until Zoe and the others see that we are now partners."
"Actually guys, I think we should stay away from our friends as we could. The others might freak if they saw our appearances." Guilmon said, fearing that others might be scared of their new appearance and didn't want them to be put in any danger because of them and due to the world merge.
"You might be right, Guilmon" Takato said, before stating. "And besides, we still need to find Marcus' Agumon's, Shoutmon's and Gumdramon's weapons."
"Aww. But I want to impress Kari with Veemon's..." Davis replied, but Tai cut across him.
"No, Guilmon's right. I think we all should avoid them for now. Well, until the time is right anyway." The Digidestined of Courage said.
"And find out who is behind all of this." Agumon added.
"Then let's move forward. Time is precious here." Mikey said as they all agree to move on.
However, unknown to them, in another part of the Digital World, the Digidestined all arrived from the Digi-port, to which Sora, Matt, Izzy, Joe, Mimi, Kari, Cody, Yolei and Ken, along with Biyomon, Gabumon, Tentomon, Gomamon, Palmon, Gatomon, Armadillomon, Hawkmon and Wormmon all gathered together in worry as they begin their search for Tai, Davis, TK, Agumon, Veemon and Patamon.
In another part, the Digimon Tamers had arrived.
The goal for Rika, Henry, Ryo, Kazu, Kenta, Suzie, Jeri, Renamon, Terriermon, Cyberdramon, Guardromon, MarineAngemon, Lopmon, Calumon and Impmon was clear: To find Takato and Guilmon.
After being called upon by Ophanimon, regaining their D-Tectors and access to the Digital World, The Legendary Warriors arrived in the frozen area of the Digital World, as Zoe, Koji, Koichi, Tommy and JP arrived to search for Takuya.
After being told by Chief Sampson and Kudamon at what was happening, the DATS team arrived in the western part of the digital world.
And now Yoshi, Thomas, Keenan, Kristy, Lalamon, Gaomon, Falcomon, Biyomon and Rhythm had arrived to search for Marcus and Agumon.
Angie, Jeremy, Nene and Christopher had caught up with Dorulumon, Cutemon, Ballistamon, Lunamon and Sparrowmon and were all determined to find Mikey, Shoutmon, Tagiru and Gumdramon at any cost.
