Davis and Veemon were on their way home after another day. They were making their way up the stairs when they spotted Yolei and Hawkmon.
"Hey Davis I've been waiting for you." Yolei said.
"Hey Yolei what's going on?" Davis said.
"We got word from Gennai about the Dark Tribe." Hawkmon said.
"The Dark Tribe!" Davis said excited.
"Really?" Veemon said.
"I figure you would be excited about this which is why I came to get you. It might give us a clue on what they want or what they're up to." Yolei said.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Davis said.
"Let's just use your computer." Yolei said as they entered and went through the digital gate.
…
The Digital World
Gennai was waiting at a cave in the mountains and spotted Yolei and Davis heading his way.
"Gennai good to see you." Yolei said.
"Good to see the two of you." Gennai said.
"You said you have information on the Dark Tribe?" Davis said.
"Yes it's in this cave." Gennai said as he took out a torch stick and lit it. "Follow me." He led them down into the cave and saw pictographs on the walls, but there weren't that many. "The Dark Tribe existed long ago. They were in a large group of numbers, but slowly dwindled away. They made sure most of their history was taken out."
"I'll say there's hardly anything here." Hawkmon said.
"So what information do you have on them?" Davis said.
"Well from what I can tell they all served a digimon named Mastermon." Gennai said.
"Mastermon?" Veemon said.
"A digimon with enough power that could actually destroy an entire continent." Gennai said. "However there was a great calamity and most of the members of the Dark Tribe was destroyed."
"So basically we're seeing the survivors." Yolei said.
"This still doesn't tell us what they're up to and what makes that orb so important." Davis said.
"Don't worry about that. I'll stay with Gennai to see if we can figure anything out." Yolei said.
"Why don't the two of you head back to the real world? We can figure this out, plus you might accidently break something important." Hawkmon said.
"Hey!" They both said with anger, but thought about it. "Yeah that might happen."
"Let me know when you found anything out." Davis said.
…
The Real World
Davis and Veemon came through the computer in his room when it became late.
"I didn't think Yolei liked getting her hands dirty." Veemon said.
"I doubt she really minds." Davis said. Then they heard an explosion. "What was that?" They looked outside and saw fires and looked like some kind of battle was going on. "Something's happening out there. Come one let's see if we can find out what's going on." Both of them ran out the door. In another part of the city Tai and Greymon were fighting Ninjamon, Darklizardmon and actual ninjas.
"Nova Blast."
Greymon blasted the Ninjamon down and used his tail to whack the Darklizardmon. A ninja was about to use a katana on Tai, but he moved out of the way and Greymon whacked him with hit tail. Up on the roofs Garurumon and Matt were fighting too. A couple ninjas tried to slash at them, but Garurumon jumped and kicked them with his back legs. Matt got on Garurumon and jumped down.
"Heads up here come more of them." Garurumon said as more Ninjamon and Darklizardmon appeared.
"If we don't find the one giving the commands this will never end." Matt said. Then Davis came in on Exveemon.
"Tai, Matt let me help you guys out." Davis said.
"Davis? I thought Veemon and you went to the digital world." Tai said.
"Yeah we just got back." Davis said.
"We'll talk later." Greymon said.
"Dark Flare."
"Ninja Knife Throwing."
Flares and shuriken were tossed at them, but they moved out of the way.
"V-Laser."
Exveemon blasted the Ninjamon, but the Darklizardmon were able to with stood his attacks.
"Exveemon energy attacks won't work against Darklizardmon." Greymon said.
"Ugh guys behind us." Matt said and saw more ninja.
"Whoa actual ninjas!?" Davis said.
"Howling Blaster."
Garurumon blasted the ground in front of the ninja to block them off and circled around blocking off the Ninjamon and the Darklizardmon. They used it as an opportunity to get away and find cover. When the coast was clear they stopped.
"That should by us time." Tai said.
"Maybe, but we're bound to get spotted." Matt said.
"Okay can someone please tell me what's going on?" Davis said.
"The Dark Tribe has entered the real world, that's where the Darklizardmon and the Ninjamon came from." Matt said.
"The ninjas are actual humans being controlled." Tai said. "Some have already evacuated with the help of the others, but the only way this will end is if we find the one in charge."
"Heads up we have company." Greymon said as more ninjas and Ninjamon appeared.
"Leave them to us, Davis you go find the one behind all of this." Tai said.
"But if there's this many how am I going to do that?" Davis said.
"Not to worry." Tai said. When Ninjamon came charging at them…
"Electro Shocker."
A blast of electricity blasted the Ninjamon and Kabuterimon with Izzy came flying down.
"Hey guys I got here as soon as I could." Izzy said.
"Izzy did you find out who's doing all of this?" Matt said.
"Yeah he's at the bridge on the north side of the city." Izzy said.
"Izzy will lead the way, better get going." Tai said.
"Got it." Davis said.
"Be careful you guys." Izzy said.
"Alright let's see what you guys got." Matt said as Garurumon and Greymon charged at the enemy.
"Follow me Exveemon." Kabuterimon said as Izzy and Davis hopped on and flew off.
….
The Bridge
Ibishiomon was at the bridge with a blue aura around him as his hands were forming a hand sign and was in a meditation.
"These digidestine are more stubborn than I thought." Ibishiomon said. Then Kabuterimon and Exveemon flew down behind him with Davis and Izzy getting off.
"Looks like we found the Dark Tribe." Davis said and Ibishiomon heard him.
"So you're the one controlling those ninja." Exveemon said. Ibishiomon turned around and faced them.
"Obnoxious brats." Ibishiomon said and Davis was surprised.
"Th-That voice! I've heard it before. You're that cloaked figure!" Davis said. Ibishiomon broke his hand sign and turned around.
"Yes!" Ibishiomon said. "I am Ibishiomon one of the five leaders, I am the leader of the Dark Tribe."
"So you're the leader. What do you want this time?" Izzy said.
"I came to finish you children off." Ibishiomon said.
"Sorry, but that's not going to happen today." Exveemon said.
"V-Laser."
"Electro Shocker."
Both of them launched their attacks, but Ibishiomon made no attempt to move. He didn't even flinch as he took the attacks, but had not harm done.
"What!? How could he with stood that?" Kabuterimon said.
"He must be a high level mega if he withstood that." Izzy said.
"You aren't even worth my time. I'll leave you to my comrade. Farewell." Ibishiomon said as he vanished.
"Hey where are you going?" Davis said, but Metallizardmon jumped down in his place.
"Sorry, but I'm your opponent." Metallizardmon said.
"Who are you?" Izzy said.
"I am Metallizardmon, one of the five leaders of the Dark Tribe."
"Metallizardmon?" Izzy said as he brought out his computer. "He's only an ultimate."
"I might be an ultimate, but I'm still powerful." Metallizardmon said.
"Salamander Breath."
He breathed out fire and moved his head side to side, but Exveemon and Kabuterimon moved out of the way with Davis and Izzy.
"Reptile Wheel."
He brought his head to the tip of his tail and started bouncing against the ground trying to hit them.
"Missed me." Exveemon said.
"You think so?" Metallizardmon said as he redirected himself and hit Exveemon. He stopped and Exveemon was holding his shoulder.
"You okay?" Kabuterimon said.
"Yeah, it doesn't look like he can fly so let's attack from the air." Exveemon said.
"Let's do it." Kabuterimon said as they flew up and flew down at him.
"Oh please. Let's go for a spin." Metallizardmon said.
"Sala-Cyclone."
He started spinning around at extreme speed that had him bang against them and blew them back.
"He's powerful." Izzy said.
"How are we suppose to stop him?" Davis said.
"Don't worry I'll get him." Exveemon said as he started to try and pound him, but Metallizardmon kept jumping out of the way.
"Keep going you'll get him." Davis said.
"You got nothing." Metallizardmon said as he whacked him with his tail, but Exveemon got back up. "Unreal no one could get up after they've been hit three times with what I gave him."
"Time to level up Kabuterimon." Izzy said.
"Kabuterimon digivolve to…Megakabuterimon"
"You think digivolving will help you. I don't think so." Metallizardmon said.
"Reptile Wheel."
Metallizardmon started bouncing up to Megakabuterimon, but he brought up one of his arms up and the friction created sparks. When he couldn't push through he jumped back.
"He's made of metal so give him a good shock." Izzy said.
"I think I can add a little power to it." Exveemon said.
"Horn Buster."
"V-Laser."
Both attacks hit and Metallizardmon was down. They thought they had him, but he started to get back up.
"Darn it he won't stay down." Davis said.
"I admit, you with the Exveemon, you have more energy in you than a normal human. I can tell by the bond of you two have." Metallizardmon said. "However it's not enough to beat me."
"Hold it right there." Tai and Matt came in with Greymon and Garurumon.
"Tai, Matt!" Davis said.
"Is the city alright?" Izzy said.
"Yeah, the ninjas are human again." Matt said.
"What!? Ibishiomon I can't believe you." Metallizardmon said. "Alright we'll let you kids go for now, but know this. When we find our orb we'll burn your city to the ground." Then he disappeared.
"Hey lizard boy where are you going?" Davis said.
"Don't you want to finish our fight?" Exveemon said.
"Leave it Davis. They're probably a million miles away or in the digital world by now." Tai said.
"By the way Davis I suppose you have news for us if you came from the digital world." Matt said.
"Oh yeah I got to talk to Ryan." Davis said as he got on Exveemon and flew off.
…
Ryan
Ryan was out in the streets and when Davis found him he was already talking to Yolei.
"Davis?" Ryan said.
"Hey. Yolei you're back." Davis said.
"Yeah and it looks like I missed a lot." Yolei said.
"Yolei was just telling me what she found out." Ryan said.
"About the Dark Tribe. Apparently that orb isn't just treasure. It's also a seal for Mastermon." Yolei said.
"A seal?" Davis said.
"Yeah, he was sealed away a long time ago." Yolei said. "Now after all this time they're trying to revive Mastermon."
"If that's the case we need to find that orb before they do or else Mastermon will be revived and it could be the end of the world." Ryan said.
