The two groups looked at each other, with the Tamers and original Digimon looking at them angrily, while the Black Digimon just stared evilly at them, expect for the BlackRenamon, who just glared.

"So you are the Black Digimon?" Ryo asked.

"And you must be the Legendary Heroes whom defeated the D-Reaper, so what?" BlackCyberdramon mocked.

"That means we can defeat you all so the world can return to normal!" Cyberdramon yelled at his Dark doppelganger, as his anger was getting the better of him.

But hearing Cyberdramon's outburst, BlackTerriermon replied, mocking his enemies. "Humph. You can try but you cannot win."

Renamon snarled at them, before then taking notice of her Black self glaring at her, but at the same time, she sensed a sadness in her, even seeing it in the dark furred vixen's eyes, confusing the foxy Digimon.

"Just what are you're planning with the Digi Crystal? Answer us!" Takato demanded.

"Ah, yes, that. We would've destroyed this world by now, if it weren't for that meddling pest!" BlackImpmon said, clenching his right hand into a fist in anger.

"What do you mean?" Greymon asked, confused by the Dark Digimon's reply.

"Perhaps you like to hear the whole story? You see... we were supposed to be sealed up by the Sovereigns many years ago. But a certain childish fool found our seal one day and freed us unknowingly." BlackLopmon explained

"You mean...?" Rika asked in shock, thinking of one Digimon when the word 'childish was brought up.

"No! You're lying!" Renamon yelled.

"Yes, it was Guilmon who freed us! He let his childish thoughts get the better of him and freed us." BlackGuilmon replied, which shocked and horrified the Digimon Tamers at what they heard.

Remaining in denial, Renamon stated. "No! Guilmon would never do something like this!"

"I am afraid he did, but he didn't know better." BlackGuilmon replied, before he then said. "And after he freed us, we first decided to destroy the Digital World first, but then we also learnt about the Real World and planned to destroy that world too."

"But why the Digi Crystal?" Jeri asked, her tone full of worry and concern for her friends, family and Guilmon.

"It was necessary for our ultimate plan to be complete. We had created a device which would drain the Digi Crystal of its power and use it to destroy both worlds." BlackLeomon said, only to then added in a tone full of aggression and hate. "And we could've succeeded too, if it weren't for Guilmon!"

"Guilmon?" Takato gasped, before he and the others continued to listen.

"He came to us, a different Digimon. He must have felt guilt in his actions and wouldn't let us continue, so he stole the Digi Crystal from us and disappeared!" BlackGuilmon snarled, the mere thought of Guilmon made his rage intensify, wanting nothing more than to see Guilmon torn to shreds.

"And we've been trying to find that little traitor for five years now! He must still have it somewhere! And we will find him and delete him!" BlackAgumon snarled.

The other Digimon looked shocked when they heard the Black Digimon's story, before everyone faced Takato when he sighed in relief and then said. "Then that means Guilmon knows his mistake. He didn't betray us at all and put a clog in your plans! We know he's still our friend! If he's done that to stop you, then we know he's given us a chance to stop you all!"

"You're right, Takato." Rika smiled, as she then stated. "Guilmon isn't the type to betray us. But he is the type who would stand up against those who threaten this world! We'll stop you before you get to Guilmon!"

Renamon sighed in relief, knowing that Guilmon was still on their side, before the vixen Digimon then retained her focus as she and the others turned to face their Dark selves.

"Everyone, go and continue your rampage on the Digital World and find Guilmon at once. I've got these fools" BlackGuilmon ordered his allies who all nodded and then all disappeared through portals of dark energy.

"You expect to defeat all of us?" Impmon asked, before mocking. "You haven't got a chance."

"Heh. I can beat you all in a blink of an eye. In fact I'll just use my hands and my tail to beat you all." BlackGuilmon replied, smirking arrogantly at his enemies.

"He's just toying with us! Renamon, everyone, Digivolve now!" Rika ordered, in which she, Takato, Henry, Ai and Suzie each withdrew a Blue Card and slashed them through their D-Powers.

Now, standing beside Greymon was Kyubimon, Gargomon, Beelzemon, Antylamon, Cyberdramon, Guardromon and MarineAngemon.

"Let's take him down and then go after the others!" Beelzemon yelled as he withdrew his Berenjena shotguns, ready to fight.

"Desolation Claw!" Cyberdramon roared out as he charged at BlackGuilmon with his strongest attack, however, BlackGuilmon just leapt out of the way, shocking Cyberdramon and the others.

And before Cyberdramon could turn around, BlackGuilmon slammed him on his face with his tail, causing him to crash into the mountain.

Ryo gasped as he saw Cyberdramon, who De-Digivolved back to Monodramon as he fell to the ground, defeated.

"No way! He took out Cyberdramon with one tail whack? Just like that?" Kenta gasped in shock.

"Come on. Give me a challenge." BlackGuilmon mocked as he turned to the others, making Beelzemon say "Don't get so cocky with us!"

"Double Impact!" Beelzemon then called out, firing two blasts from his guns.

"Gargo Pellets!" Gargomon added as he fired a barrage of blasts from his machine guns, adding his power to Beelzemon's.

However, even with their combined power, their bullets kept missing the Black Digimon, who then leapt behind them and slammed his clawed arms hard against their backs, causing both Digimon to lose conscious and De-Digivolve back to Impmon and Terriermon.

"Terriermon!" Henry gasped in horror, seeing the pain his Digimon was in.

"No, Impmon!" Ai and Mako called out, concerned for Impmon.

"He's too fast and strong!" Guardomon called out, making BlackGuilmon say in an arrogant reply. "Of course. You should've known you been dealing with the leader of the Black Digimon."

"Leader? You mean... you're the boss?" Takato questioned, shocked at how powerful he was as a mere Rookie.

However, determined to keep their human partner's safe, Kyubimon and Greymon decided to continue and fight.

"Dragon Wheel!" Kyubimon yelled as she rolled around, creating a fire around her body that took form of a dragon, which she then fired.

"Nova Flame!" Greymon roared, unleashing another blast of flames from his maw.

But before the two could collide, the Black Digimon vanished and suddenly appeared behind Kyubimon, grabbing her tails, making her gasp in shock at his speed, before thinking. 'How did he do that?'

However, she was unable to say or do anything as BlackGuilmon then smirked and used his tail to spank Kyubimon's butt six times, causing her to yell in pain before he threw Kyubimon at Antylamon, knocking the pair down and causing them both to De-Digivolve.

"Lopmon!" Suzie called out.

"Renamon!" Rika yelled, concerned for Renamon as she rushed over to her and asked. "Are you alright?"

Seeing his allies being defeated so easily, Takato could only watch as BlackGuilmon appeared before Greymon and slammed his fist into his jaw, causing Greymon to crash to the ground and DeDigivolve back to Agumon.

"Agumon, stand up!" Takato called out, concerned.

Agumon groaned and rose to his feet, stating. "I am fine... I can still fight..."

"So can I..." Renamon stated as she too rose up, rubbing her butt.

"Humph. You two would be easy to defeat, but I shall take my leave for now. I am done playing with you weaklings anyway." BlackGuilmon scoffed, as he then turned to leave.

"BlackGuilmon!"

Turning back, BlackGuilmon looked at Takato, who glared at him, before the brunette stated. "Don't count Guilmon out so easily! Hearing from your story, I have to hear it from his mouth. But we will find him before you and him, me and Agumon will defeat you. That I promise!"

"Hmph. I'll be waiting for that day." BlackGuilmon replied, before he took his leave and disappeared.

"He's gone for now. So the Digi Crystal is safe in Guilmon's hands still." Henry commented, making Agumon say in reply. "Right. Now we've gotta heal the others and then think of a plan to find Guilmon before they do."

"You're right. We have to find him, and fast." Jeri replied, nodding with Agumon's words.

While the others were talking about their next moves and checking on Impmon, Terriemon and Lopmon, Renamon then remembered BlackRenamon's glare earlier on, making her say to her Tamer. "Rika, I can sense that BlackRenamon isn't as dark and evil as the others. I think she is misunderstood. I think she's in pain."

Curious, Rika asked. "Are you sure, Renamon?"

"I don't know. But I have to find her again and talk to her, if I can" Renamon replied, while at the same time her thoughts turned to Guilmon, worried for him.

"Guilmon, I don't know where you are, but I will find you, no matter what." Takato and Renamon both said to themselves in determined tones, unaware the other had said the exact same thing.
