This chapter is dedicated to MiraclesVeemon, 738, JDJPJST, animls4evr, 1234567890
On Infinity Mountain, Tai sits looking out of his telescope.
"Hmm."Tai siad
"What'cha doing?"Agumon asked
"Making a map of the island. That way we'll know exactly where we are and where we've already been."Tai said drawing on a peice of paper.
Melody heard their conversation and limped over.
"That's a good idea Taichi, so you do have a brain up there in that big hair of yours."Melody said
She looks down at Tai's map. It's covered in squiggles that are unreadable to everyone except Tai. Renamon appared behind Melody.
"What? Did you say map or mess?"Renamon asked
Matt crious to what the two were saying to Tai walked over when he saw Tai's art work he froze.
"No questions, man, you are the dude of doodles."Matt replied
"If you follow that map it'll lead right to a headache."Sora said after walking over to look at it.
"Well I can read it just fine and that's all that's really important!"Tai said
Mimi, Joe and TK stand a little way away.
"We don't need a map to know we're totally lost. I figured that out a long time ago."Joe siad
"I just figured out that these gloves really don't go with this dress."Mimi said
"How sad."Palmon said
The kids hear a rumbling sound in the distance.
"What's that?"Matt asked
"I don't know, but I have a feeling we're going to wait here to find out."Joe said
"At least it won't be a long wait."Sora replied
"That totally makes me feel better Sora."Melody replied
Sora sent her a sorry look.
They turn around and look down the mountain path - at Leomon, who's blocking it off.
"Don't worry, Leomon is our friend."Patamon said flying and landing ontop of Melody's head
"With big teeth!"TK said running and hiding behind Melody.
"He just uses them for smiling."Patamon replied
"He's a just leader and role model for all digimon."Gabumon said
"I want the children!"Leomon said
"HU!?"Tai, Sora, Izzy, Matt, Melody, and Joe asked
Leomon draws his sword. Renamon jumps infront of Melody an TK.
"Call me paranoid, but I think it's time we run!"Joe said
As they run away from Leomon, Tai's map falls out of his pocket.
"Oh no, my map!"Tai said
He runs back to get it.
"Tai, come back! Forget the map!"Agumon cried
"TAI LISTEN TO AGUMON!"Melody cried
Leomon almost catches up with Tai.
"Pepper Breath!"Agumon cried
The fireball shoots past hte map, burning it up. Leomon gaurds against it as it hits him.
"Sorry about your map."Agumon says to Tai
"That's okay. At least it didn't fall into the hands of the enemy!"Tai said
"Tai I think the enemy couldn't read your map."Melody said helping Tai up.
Matt and Joe were in the lead running the other way.
"Don't slow down, Joe, he's right behind us!"Matt called
Joe, leading the kid's flight down the mountains, almost runs into Ogremon, at the other end of the path!
"And just where do you think you're going?"Ogremon said
"Aah!"Joe and Sora cried
All of them stop running. They're caught between Ogremon and Leomon.
"Well, children, so good of you to stop by."Orgermon said
"He look hungry to you?"Patamon asked
"We're too small to eat and I'm full of junk food!"TK replied gripping onto Melody's pants tight
"Well he's not against a little snack."Gomamon said
"Make it easy on yourselves. Give up now - or else!"Leomon said
"I don't see an exit door."Matt said
"This proves the theory that well-executed teamwork is efficient even for bad guys."Izzy said
"Leomon has always been Ogremon's worst enemy, what's happened to him?"Biyomon said
"Ready, Leomon? Charge!"Orgermon said
They both jump towards the kids, who are back-to-back in two groups. Bright rainbow light shines as the digivolution animation all kick in!
"Agumon, digivolve to... Greymon!"
"Gabumon, digivolve to...Garurumon!"
"Renamon, digivole to...Kyubimon!"
As the three digimon grow outwards towards Leomon, Greymon knocks him back with his horn.
"Biyomon, digivolve to...Birdramon!"
"Tentomon, digivolve to...Kabuterimon!"
"Gomamon, digivolve to... Ikkakumon!"
"Palmon, digivole to...Togemon."
The other four grow outwards to meet Ogremon, and Ikkakumon uses his horn to knock him away. Birdramon shrieks. Above them, standing on the mountain, Devimon watches the whole thing.
"They've all digivolved!"Devimon said
Melody feels a sudden chill go down her spine. Melody brings her arms around herself and starts to shiver. Tai notices and begins to get worried. Melody thought she heard a voice, but she let it go and focused on the battle in front of her.
"Come with me, TK!"Matt replied
Matt leads his little brother and Patamon away from the fighting.
"Let him have it, Greymon!"Tai said
"Nova Blast!"Greymon cried
Leomon blocks it.
"Harpoon Torpedo!"Ikkakumon cried
"Needle Spray!"Togemon cried
The torpedo explodes against Ogremon, and the needles spike Orgermon.
"Listen up! Everybody, altogether now!"Tai shouts
"They have learned the secret of teamwork. This group of seven attacking together is quite dangerous. But why hasn't the Patamon digivolved?"Devimon asked
Melody quickly turns and notices Tk and Patamon safely with Matt, Garrurumon not far from them.
"Are you ready?"Tai asked
Greymon readies a fireball, but the top of the mountain - where Devimon was - explodes, and rocks fall down towards the kids.
"Avalanche, watch out!"Joe shouts
Everyone hides behind a rock formation.
"Howling Blaster!"Garurumon cried
"Metor Wing!"Gurrumon cired
"Fox Tail Inferno!"Kiyubimon cried
"Electro Shocker!"Kabuterimon cried
"Nova Blast!"Greymon cried
The five attacks turn the rocks into dust. Tai has dust in his hair.
"Oh wow. Everybody ok?"Tai asked
"Oh yeah, like a day at the beach."Matt replied
"I think I need a facial!"Mimi replied
MElody smiled at the girl then she noticed her partner lying on the ground.
"Renamon!"Melody shouted running to her partner.
"Huh?"Tai asked wondering what she was doing then he noticed Agumon "Woah, Agumon, speak to me!"
The digimon - de-digivolved - lie on the ground.
"We aren't wounded, Tai - we're all just a little exhausted."Agumon replied
"Two digivolutions in one day - no wonder!"Tai replied
"Poor Biyo..."Sora said
"Hey, what happened to the bad guys?"Izzy said
"They just disappeared!"Tai replied
"Are you sure?"Palmon asked
"Do you think that avalanche knocked them both off that cliff?"Gabumon asked
Joe calls to the bottom of the mountain.
"Hello? Unless they can fly, they're goners."Joe replied
"Neither one of them had wings so I'm sure they weren't airworthy."Sora replied
"Nothing is logical here. Anything is bound to happen, including flying monsters!"Joe replied
"For once, you may be right, Joe."Sora said
"I think that they regrouped. There must be a thrid memeber."Melody said to Renamon
Renamon looks at her partner and replies:
"As Kiyubimon I did sense a thrid digimon, but the avalanche happened before I could pinpoit what digimon it was."
Melody nodded then noticed her best friend with his puzzled expression. Melody wasn't the only one who noticed it.
"Something bothering you?"Agumon asked
"It's that avalanche. I can't figure out what set it off."Tai said
Melody and Renamon sharred a look. They didn't know if they should tell the others, they had just barley scrapped by that battle to tell that there were three digimon out for them...that would send Joe into full shock.
"Stress accumulates until a crack develops, and with excess weight the terra firma suddenly isn't so firma."Izzy replied
Melody was glad that Izzy was so smart. She didn't want to have to tell the others TK and Patamon might be a target...
"You think so? It looked to me like something blasted it loose."Tai replied
Melody soon got a cold chill down her spine. She looked up to where the rocks fell from. However, she really coudln't see. Devimon's still standing where the rocks fell from.
"They are more powerful than I expected, but I will strike while they are exhausted and destroy them all!"Devimon said "Also a seer intresting..."
The kids and digimon are walking down one of those sloping forest paths.
"I'm intrigued that our digimon were able to digivolve twice in one day."Izzy said
"Well it was sure lucky for us that they were able to do it."Tai said
"I think the digimon are growing stronger. I wonder if that's a normal part of their evolution or we're bringing out something special in them."Sora said
"A fascinating hypothesis. If only we could test it."Izzy said
"I think today was too much for them."Matt said
"Palmon's looking very tired."Mimi replied
"I've been tired before, don't worry."Palmon replied
"Admit it, Palmon, we need to stop and rest."Biyomon replied
"You know, to be perfectly honest, I think that would be a good idea for all of us."Melody replied
"Melody is right, we've been walking non stop since this morning."Joe replied
"Rest where? I don't want to sleep on the ground."Sora said
Sometimes Melody wanted to strangle Sora. Wasn't she the one a couple of days ago telling Mimi that a little dirt never hurt anyone and here she was complaing. Don't get Melody wrong. Sora was her best friend that was a girl...but her best friend ever, Tai, had a small (huge) crush on her. Melody's inner rant was cancled when Joe shouted.
"Look! A mansion!"
Everyone looked and sure enough a mansion sat in the middle of the woods. Melody and Renamon sharred a look. Melody could tell her partner was on edge.
"Or maybe it's a hotel! Come on!"Tai cried
The kids run down the pathway leading to the place.
"We may have found other life forms! Look at the ground - I mean, somebody had to have mowed the lawn!"Izzy said
"What a place! I can't believe my eyes, it's just too good to be true!"Tai said
"I hope they have a hot tub. Just as long as it's not too hot."Joe said
Matt and Joe run up to the front doors.
"Wait, you guys, don't just go charging in there! It might be dangerous!"Tai said
but they pay no heed and keep running.
"Hey, was this on your map?"Agumon asked
"Hmm, somehow I don't think so."Tai replied
"How could you tell?"Melody asked
"Go ahead, Joe, open the door."Matt replied
"Maybe we should knock first?"Joe asked
"Joe, nobody knocks on the door at a hotel."Matt replied
"This place should be on your map."Agumon said
Tai puts his face pretty close to Agumon's, and squints at him.
"Agumon, if you recall, you burned up my map."Tai said
"Oh yeah..."Agumon replied
Melody smiled and walked over to Agumon and hugged him.
"And the world and digital world thanks you for that Agumon."Melody said
Tai looked at his best friend and said:
"Melody, that really hurt."
Melody laughed and said:
"So did you making for of my drawing of a horse."
"It looked like a dog!"
Joe who couldn't hear the two best friends arguing, so he decided.
"Well, here goes..."He said
He opens the door, and looks inside. The building has two visible floors, with a landing visible from the ground, and judging by the amount of doors, lots of rooms. The decor is predominantly red.
"I don't see a desk clerk. Anybody here?"Joe replied
"Looks weird."Tai replied
"Feels weird."Agumon said
"Well it doesn't look or feel weird to me."Joe said
Tai, Melody, Izzy and Sora wait just outside the door.
"Perhaps my definition of weird is different than yours."Izzy said
"I'm with you."Sora replied
"Think about it. Are we safer in the open woods, with no shelter, or here in a sturdy building we can defend from attack?"
TK walks past Joe and Matt, and to the far end of the lobby. Patamon flies alongside.
"I have to admit, you have a point."Matt said
"That's beautiful!"TK said
There's a painting depicting an angel, hands raised in prayer, behind Joe.
"Huh? Oh, yeah."Joe said
"Lookit, it's an angel!"TK said
"What's an angel, TK?"Patamon said
"Something special that watches over you. Kinda like you guys."TK replied
"If this is a spooked-out haunted house, would there be pictures of angels hanging on the walls? I don't think so!"Joe replied
"I still don't think we should stay here..."Melody said
"Relax, we just want to be careful. And talk quieter, or you'll wake everybody up."Sora replied
She indicates the digimon - all are asleep except for Tentomon, Renamon and Patamon.
"I hope they have a dress shop. I've never worn the same thing two days in a row before."Mimi said
"Let's take a nap later."Izzy replied
The doors of the hotel shut.
"Well, no crowds. We must've missed the summer rush."Tai said
"We keep missing everything."Sora said
"This is one kooky, mixed-up world."Tai replied
"Let's go."Joe said
Agumon and Gabumon wake up. Gabumon sniffs the air.
"Do you smell that?"Gabumon said
"I don't smell anything, what is it?"Matt asked
"It's the delicious odor of food."Gabumon replied
"Food?"Everyone asked
"Are you sure?"Matt asked
"Very sure, and plenty of it!"Gabumon replied
"Show us where, Gabumon!"Matt replied
"It's this way, follow me!"Gabumon said
He runs off to the source of the sumptuous smell.
"Wait for us!"Sora cried
"Oh boy!"Joe cried
"Hurry, hurry!"Biyomon replied
TK and Mimi glance at the angel picture again, then follow. Patamon has a good look before moving off.
"Huh? Hey, wait for me!"Patamon said
Tai rans to follow them, but Melody grabs onto the back of his shirt. Tai stopped moving when he felt someone tug on his back. Tai turned around and saw Melody. He was worried when he saw her scared facial expressions.
"Mel whats wrong?"Tai asked
"I have a bad feeling."Melody replied
"What do you mean?"Tai asked
"I feel like something bad is going to happen."
Tai thought about it for a minute. He had to admit Melody and Hayden had sixth sense when it came to bad things. They could always tell when something bad was going to happen. The last time he didn't listen to Melody, Hayden had fell into the river and almost drowneded. Tai turned around and put a hand on her shoulder.
"If something does happen i'll take care of it."Tai said
Agumon cleared his throat and said:
"Who will take care of it?"
"Okay Agumon, Renamon, and I will take care of it."Tai replied
Melody smiled at the face on her best friend and Agumon.
"Alright. I'll trust you."Melody replied
Tai and Agumon ran to where there was food. Melody then looked at Renamon.
"That dark feeling you feel it also?"Melody asked
"Yes, I'm surprised you can feel it also."Renamon said
Melody turned to her partner and smiled.
"I'm full of surprises."Meldoy said
With that she walked off. Renamon dissapered into the darkness.
The kids and digimon all stare at a huge table-full of food.
"Look at that spread!"Tai said
"Wow..."Joe said
"Sorry for saying this everybody, but this looks like a set-up."Matt replied
"Matt is right, it could be some kind of trap."Sora said
'Haven't I been saying that since we got here?'Melody asked herself
"I agree..."Melody said
Their concerns are not payed any attention to by the digimon, who are all eating as if they've never tasted food before.)
"What?"Everyone asked
"Agumon, are you guys sure this food is safe to eat?"Tai asked
Tentomon's eating with all four of his arms.
"Everyone's eating, but their table manners are appalling."Mimi said
"Guess that's 'cause they like it."TK replied
"That's it, I can't bear to look any longer! I'm gonna eat it - at least I won't die hungry! On your mark - get set -"Joe said
He jumps into a chair and proceeds to chow down.
"Ah...hmm..."Tai said
Sora, Matt, Izzy, Mimi and TK all consider the table of food. Cut to an exterior shot, where sounds of eating can be heard.
"Lobster maitre'd - is there a table with a view?"Mimi said
"Mmm, peanut butter and pickles - this is the best pizza ever!"TK replied
"Ok, if one of us gets sick, we all get sick! That's teamwork too!"Tai replied
"Pass the mashed potatoes!"Sora said
"Potato chips, chocolate chips, fish and chips - I'll have any kind of chips!"Izzy said
"What're we having for dessert?"TK asked
Melody stood off to the side with Renamon.
"How are they eating all of that?"Melody asked
"Don't you want to eat Melody?"Renamon asked
"Not really...that feeling is still here...and I don't trust this place."Melody replied "What about you?"
"I believe you will find my answer in the last part of yours."renamon replied
Night falls, and they're still eating.
'I wonder where they are putting it all.'Melody replied
Time to cool off with a nice, relaxing bath. Tai bombs down into the water.
"Heads up, Matt!"Tai said
He lands with a large splash on the boy's side of the pool-like bathing area, where Matt, Izzy and TK, and their digimon, are also enjoying the water.
"Watch the hair, dude!"Matt replied
"Is that what it is? I thought some bird made a nest on your head!"Tai replied
"Warm water is perfect for removing soil and epidermis - you know, dirt and dead skin."Izzy replied
"Whenever my skin gets dirty, I just shed it."Tentomon replied
"That would be difficult for me."Izzy replied
Joe appears at the water's edge, holding a towel around his waist.
"Uh, may I join you?"Joe replied
"Hey, don't be shy, there aren't any girls here. Come on in, so far we haven't found any sharks in the water."Matt replied
"No big ones!"Tai replied
Joe's all flustered now.
"It looks cold!"Joe replied
"Humans can be so silly."Patamon replied
"Humans aren't the only ones - where's Gabumon?"Tentomon asked
He's hiding behind the bamboo screen, looking red with embarrassment.
"He's not silly, just shy."Patamon replied
"I'll get in, but I won't guarantee I'll like it!"Joe replied
The girls relax on their side of the pool, a partition preventing any nosy boys - or so they thought...
"Why do they have to be so noisy?"Sora replied
"Relax, just forget about 'em!"Mimi replied
Gomamon swims by.
"I've never been so relaxed in my whole life..."Gomamon replied
"Gomamon, you aren't supposed to be over here!"Biyomon replied
"Get back to the boy's side!"Palmon said
She uses her vines to fling him over the partition wall.
"Hey, let go! Heeeelp!"Gomamon shouted
"Ow! Hey, watch out, Gomamon!"Izzy cried
"Where'd you come from?"Matt asked
Sora sighed then noticed a human girl and her digimon partner were missing.
"Where is Melody and Renamon?"Sora asked
"I saw them before I came in here. Melody said she would come in after she checked something out."Biyomon replied
Sora nodded, but she thought:
'Melody, what's going on in that head of yours?'
with Melody and Renamon
Melody and Renamon walked outside of the hotel. Melody and Renamon stepped infront of it.
"What are you going to do?"Renamon asked
"My mother taught me a technique that her grandfather taught her when she was learing Akido."Melody said " I want to try it in this situtuation."
Renamon gave her a look like to continue. While speaking Melody did what she was saying.
"The first thing you do is close your eyes. Next you take a deep breath and clean your head of all thoughts. Once your mind is clean you're mind you focus just on the outside of what your trying to see past."Melody said
Renamon did what her human was saying.
"Finally open your eyes and focus."Melody said
When the both of them did they saw a flash of ruins of the hotel they were staying in. Melody fell to the ground holding her head. She rubbed her eyes and realized that the ruins of the hotel were just a mirage or was it... Renamon jumped down and held her partner in her arms.
With the digi destin
Everyone, except Renamon and Melody, enters the bedroom wearing robes.
"Wow..."Tai said
TK and Patamon flop down on a bed.
"The only thing better is bunk beds!"TK said
"Boy, this feels great. Last time I had a bed this soft, I was dreaming!"Izzy said
"How I've missed sleeping on soft, silky sheets."Mimi said
"Mmm."sora said
"'ll tell you what I don't miss - I don't miss hiking through the blazing hot desert. And another thing I really don't miss is starving in the jungle."Joe replied
He looks around the room. Everybody, seated on their beds, looks homesick.
"Oh - we are a long way from home. Sorry."Joe said
"That's ok, Joe. We all miss being home and I'm sure that we're all wondering if we'll ever get back there."Tai said
"I'll bet our disappearance caused a big fuss at school and all over town. But we've been gone so long, everybody must've given up looking for us by now."Matt said
"Mom and Dad wouldn't stop."TK replied
"I'm homesick, aren't you?"Mimi asked
"We'll find our way back. Don't worry, Mimi."Sora replied
"Let's just go to sleep and try to have nice dreams."Mimi replied
"Goodnight guys!"Sora said
"Goodnight girls!"the boys said
"Goodnight, everyone."The girls said
"Goodnight."Mimi replied
The lights in all of the mansion go out. As clouds cover the moon, we cut back to that angel portrait.
"It was so easy to deceive them. Even the digi-destined seem to have childish and simple minds."Devimon said "However, one has snuck out of my trap."
The leather-clad evil one himself phases out of the painting, and stands in the lobby. Leomon and Ogremon stand before him.
"Ready?"Devimon asked
"What a joy, to be rid of the digi-destined at last."Ogermon replied
"And you, Leomon?"Devimon asked
"I cannot disobey your orders."Leomon replied
Devimon does another Evil Chuckle, but stops when he hears a noise from the upper corridor and the front door open.
"I can go to the bathroom by myself."
It's Tai and Agumon, walking out of the bedroom.
"I don't mind keeping you company, Tai. It's dark and scary here."Agumon replied
"For your information, I happen to like the dark. Stop treating me like a kid!"Tai replied
The picture, formerly of the angel, is now blank. In the bathroom, Agumon is in a stall while Tai waits outside.
"I should've known it was you who was afraid to go to the bathroom by yourself."Tai said
"Oh Tai, don't be upset with me. I'm not afraid. I didn't really have to go to the bathroom, I just came along because I have to protect you."Agumon replied
"Then what are you doing in there?"Tai replied
"I don't even wanna talk about it, Tai."Agumon replied
'Melody never came to bed, when Agumon gets done i'll head back to the room and grab my clothes and go find her.'Tai thought
In the next stall - Ogremon is in it, chuckling quietly.
"I don't know if that ugly green guy scared you, but he really scared me, and who knows where he is now?"Agumon replied
Ogremon, looking highly amused, bursts out of the stall - leaving it in splinters. His demeanour quickly changes from 'amused' to 'trying to be evil'.
"Now I am going to destroy you both."Orgermon said
Tai and Agumon run along the corridor, shouting.
"Wake up everybody, Ogremon is here!"Tai yelled
"Look out, Tai!"Agumon shouted
Blocking his path down the corridor is Leomon.
"I must obey. Destroy them - the children."Leomon replied
"Why do you hate me?"Tai asked
"He hates you because I commanded him to hate you!"Devimon replied
Tai looks around and sees Devimon standing on the hand railing opposite him. He then hears running up the stairs and looks to see Melody and Renamon.
"Get ready, Tai! Now the real trouble starts!"Agumon said
"Agumon, who is that?"Tai replied
"That's Devimon!"Agumon replied
"He looks bad."Tai said
"He is. This is the guy who invented the nightmare!"Agumon replied
"I have no further use for this imaginary building."Devimon replied
Around them, the entire hotel building fades, becoming an old ruin. Part of the railing where Devimon is standing is stillintact. Matt, sensing the danger, wakes up in his bed.
"Wake up everybody, something's wrong!"Matt said
"What's happened?"Sora asked
"Huh?"Joe asked
Mimi screams. Devimon waves his hand, and all the beds float up into the sky.
"Because together you are strong, I will use my Touch of Evil to scatter you throughout the DigiWorld!"Devimon replied
"I hop this is a bad dream..."Tai said
"Tai, I'm too weak to walk, even after all that food I've eaten!"Agumon replied
"Huh?"Tai asked
"It's because their wasn't any food. Everything here that we experinced was all Devimon's miarage!"Melody cried
"Correct young digidestin...hmm...you might be a problem."Devimon said as he jumped down from where he was standing and landing infront of Melody.
Tai waisted no time trying to get to Melody, but Leomon stopped him.
"Listen you, if you don't bring back my friends, you're going to be in really big trouble!"Melody said
"That's amusing. My concerns are much more important than your friends."Devimon replied
"That's my only concern. You bring them back now!"Melody replied
"Bring them back? You impudent brat, you dare to order me? Allow me to show you who's really in control here!"
He spreads his arms, and Mount Infinity cracks, and splits open to reveal hundreds of black gears.
"You see, I have discovered the secret of the black gears from below. I call them forth to do my bidding!"Devimon replied
Because of the pressure of the computer-animated gears, the island itself cracks and splits into several different segments - each of which drift apart from Infinity Mountain.
"You and your friends happened upon this tiny island, which is just one of the fragments of the old world, scattered across an enormous ocean. You pretend you are strangers who know nothing of this, but I am aware that you are the digi-destined, who were sent to rescue this world from my domination."Devimon replied
Floating in the sky, the remaining six kids can see the Yokomon village, the factory and Toy Town.
"You got us all wrong! We were just some kids at summer camp who somehow got sucked into your world!"Tai cried
"Your little act no longer amuses me. It's time to bring an end to the digi-destined!"Devimon replied
"I will destroy them."Leomon replied
"What?"Tai asked
"Everyone."Leomon replied
Agumon tries spitting a Pepper Breath, but manages only to produce a small flame from his mouth. Leomon shoots his Fist of the Beat King attack, blasting him backwards.
"Now the boy."Leomon replied
"Yes, and then the others, one by one. Once those irritating children are out of the way, nothing will be able to stop me!"Devimon replied
Leomon makes to punch Tai, and Tai's digivice falls out of his pocket.
"TAI!"Melody shouted
"What are you waiting for, Leomon? Do it!"Devimon shouted
The digivice gives off a massive burst of light, driving the darkness out through Leomon's back.
"The black gear! The light drove it out! Devimon no longer has control over Leomon!"Agumon replied
"I think you're right. How do you feel, Leomon?"Tai replied
"I am free of Devimon's powers!"Leomon replied
Tai indicates his digivice.
"Leomon, do you know what this thing is?"Tai asked
"I can tell you that for me it is proof that you are one of the digi-destined! The digivices are powerless in the hands of anyone else."Leomon replied
"That's right. But you are no match for me!"Devimon said
He gestures, and the beds all fall sharply downwards.
"Do not harm them!"Leomon replied "Miss move!"
He shoots his attack and blows up the spot where Devimon was standing. Luckily Renamon had picked up Melody bridal style and jumped in the air, landing on a pillar. Devimon has to fly upwards to escape, but loses control over the beds in the process.
"Leomon is helping us! We're going to be fine!"Agumon replied
"This isn't over, Leomon! Or have you forgotten your old friend?"Devimon replied
"Ogremon!"Leomon replied
"Here, Leomon!"Orgermon replied
Ogremon leaps forward, and Leomon blocks his bone club with his sword.
"Your soft heart is your weakness, we will never join as allies, and you will never know true power."Orgermon replied
"You may defeat me, but the digi-destined will be out of your reach!"Leomon replied
"No!"Tai cried
"Yes! Go now!"Leomon cried
Leomon drives his sword into the edge of the patch of ground where Tai and Agumon are standing. It falls into the ocean, and begins to drift away.
"Why?"Tai asked
"You're our last hope! Without you, my world doesn't stand a chance of survival! My life is insignificant!"Leomon said
Ogremon leaps at him again, and Renamon blasts him back. Melody runs up and stands beside Leomon.
"Mel, you, Renamon, and Leomon can escape too!"Tai cried
"I must prevent Devimon from pursuing you!"Leomon said
"I'm gonna back you up big guy."Melody replied
About that time Melody's digivice glowed, and a bright light covered Renamon. Devimon and Orgermon sheilded their eyes and when the light faded they were all shocked to see Kiyubimon.
"Be careful! Melody make sure you and I meet again!"Tai cried
"You got it buddie! I'm counting on you to get the rest of the team together!"Melody replied
"Hurry time is short!"Kiyubimon replied
Devimon sneaks up behind him. Leomon whirls around with his sword, but Devimon is too fast, and lunges with his claw.
"Feel the Touch of Evil!"Devimon replied
"Leomon!"Tai and Melody cried
Tai and Agumon drift too far away to be of any more help. They watched as Kiyubimon attacked the three champion digimon.
Devimon, Ogremon and a re-possessed Leomon stand atop Infinity Mountain.
"The digi-destined survived our first encounter, but it won't be the last - I can promise them that. They must not interfere with my plans. They must be destroyed! Will you do this for me, Leomon?"Devimon replied
