The entire Digidestined were in a dark area filled with purplish mist, with Devidramon standing infront of them. All their Digimon were in their Champion forms, with several bruises and scrapes on them. Devidramon began laughing, while Richard grunted and ran towards Devidramon with Seadramon floating alongside him. However….
"RICHARD!" Logan screamed, as Devidramon slashed through Seadramon and Richard with his Crimson Claw attack, resulting in them bursting into data. Joey looked up at Devidramon in rage and Gargomon began shooting repeatedly, though the Gargo Lasers bounced off Devidramon's skin. Devidramon lifted his arm up in the air, creating a black ball of energy and sent it flying at Joey and Gargomon, hitting and obliberating them
"JOEY!" Logan screamed, tears forming in his eyes as his friend was killed, Meredith looked over at her partner, and began sobbing, but wiped her eyes and looked at Devidramon, determined. Turuiemon shot her Frozen Blitz attack at Devidramon, creating a small bit of ice on Devidramon's arm, then ran and clawed at Devidramon, who instantly flicked her way into Meredith. Devidramon then slashed his hand, and a demonic wave of energy flew towards the two, hitting and causing them to turn into data.
"MEREDITH!" Logan shouted, and looked towards Chase, who ran towards him with Magnamon by his side. Tyrannomon clutched his arm, a huge cut swelling across it. Logan looked up at Devidramon in fear, who stared right back at them with glowing red eyes. Logan tried running forward at Devidramon, wanting so badly to punch him in the face. However….they couldn't move. Devidramon's attack, Red Eyes, paralysed them.
"Silly Digidestined….You actually thought you could beat me….? You idiots….CHAOS BREATH!" Devidramon roared, and shot a black, demonic blast out of his mouth that hit the remaining Digidestined and Digimon, causing everything to turn white…Hey, I didn't get to this part yet! Wait….This isn't even part of the story! Logan, wake up!
"WAAAH!" Logan screamed, falling out of the bunk bed, which was on the top, with Chase being on the bottom bunk. He was in cold sweat, having just having a dream...no, nightmare, about all his friends being killed by Devidramon. He looked around, seeing Chase asleep on the bottom bunk with DemiVeemon sleeping on Chase's butt. He saw Koromon at the top of the bead, nibbling on the sheets in his sleep.
"Maybe we need to get him a teething ring." A voice spoke, and Logan turned around to see Wizardmon standing near Chase's window.
"He-Hey, Wizardmon...Uh...What time is it?" Logan asked, still sweating a bit.
"4:00 am. But more importantly….You had a nightmare, didn't you? And I'm guessing it involved Devidramon." Wizardmon told Logan, who scratched his head, embarrassed.
"Nailed it….Uh….Well, we were fighting him, and then he…..killed Richard….and Joey….then Meredith….and then me and Chase….." Logan mumbled, thinking back to the horrible dream.
"Well it looks like you're scared of what could happen in these battles….I am too. Arresterdramon was able to take out all of Guardromon's army, including himself with only a few attacks." Wizardmon responded, causing Logan to shake in fear.
"Yeah….well….When are we going? I wanna beat that guy as fast as possible." Logan asked, looking up at Koromon.
"I thought it would be nice to give your 5 a break. I have Ikkakumon and Guardromon with their armies ready incase a problem happens." Wizardmon answered, then floated out the window, but turned around right before he left. "You are the leader. It's your job to protect them. You should be the one reassuring them."
"Ah...Uh…." Logan stumbled with his words, as Wizardmon flew back out to the tree fort. Logan looked back up at Koromon, who was mumbling words like "Digivolve…." and "Tyrannomon…".
"He's right….Me and Agumon are gonna lead them to beating all of those monsters. And if anybody dies…..I'm taking killing that monster." Logan growled, a bit of orange glowing in his eyes.
"Fear…. Of losing my friends….It's a horrible feeling." Logan grumbled, then climbed back up to bed. He grabbed Koromon and hugged him close. He turned over to the window, and began closing his eyes, when he saw fog filling in the area.
"As Joey would say…. Crap baskets." Logan said, and quickly jumped out of bed. Koromon awakened and saw the fog out the window too.
"OH NO! DEMIVEEEEEEEEEEEMON!" Koromon screamed, waking up the baby dragon along with his partner.
"What is it now….?" Chase asked, groaning and rubbing his eyes. Logan pointed to the window, and Chase saw the fog. Chase then ran into his closet, and some rumbling was heard, as Logan brushed off some dust off his clothes, which he wore to bed.
"Alright then….Koromon, Digivolve!" Logan exclaimed, pulling out the Digivice out of his pocket and a orange beam was shot at Koromon, turning him into an orange ball of light.
"Koromon digivolve to….AGUMON!" Agumon burst out of the light, slashing at the air. DemiVeemon did the same thing, turning into a yellow ball and forming into Veemon.
"Digimon can digivolve without a Digivice?" Logan asked, looking at Veemon, who was panting a bit.
"Sometimes, but it takes a lot of energy out of them." Veemon explained, and Chase burst out of the closet, now wearing a red t-shirt with a big white stripe in the middle of it and blue jeans.
"New attire?" Logan asked, seeing Chase's new outfit, earning a laugh.
"Of course! It became summer! Remember?" Chase asked, nodding to a calendar with the month being June.
"Oh...right. Uh….Well, it doesn't matter. Let's go beat the Digimon!" Logan announced. And jumped out the window, Agumon following.
"I'm just gonna use the door, like normal people." Chase sighed, and walked out the door, Veemon stumbling over to door, tired.
Meanwhile, with Joey and Richard, the two brothers were on their scooter and bike respectively, seeing as Joey didn't know how to ride a bike. They were racing down the streets after spotting the fog while watching Spongebob late at night. Terriermon glided alongside Joey while Betamon laid on Richard's helmet.
"We're gonna destroy this Digimon! Wonder what it is…." Joey pondered, with Terriermon giggling.
"Probably a really dumb one thinking thinking they could come to this area to invade the world! They should do it in another area or something, because we'll keep kicking their butt if they come here!" Terriermon responded.
"Yeah….Well anyways, look! It's right there!" Joey shouted, and the duos ran into fog. Unknown to them, Meredith and Lopmon were running over near the fog aswell.
"How did you even see the fog?! We live like four blocks away!" Meredith asked her Digimon, who was gliding in front of her.
"I smelt it." "The fog?" "No, Terriermon. He stinks. And he was heading this way." Lopmon explained.
"Heehee! Only Joey's partner would smell that bad! Alright, let's Digivolve!" Meredith yelled, with Joey and Richard, Logan and Chase doing the same action at the same time.
"Digivolution Activate!" The five screamed, and the colored beams shot out of the Digivice and into the Digimon.
"Agumon/Terriermon/Lopmon/Veemon/Betamon digivolve to….." Agumon began growing in size as well as gaining spikes on his back, Veemon got taller and more muscular with armor forming on him, Terriermon got bigger and got two arm cannons on his hands, Lopmon did the same but had a scarf and gauntlet claws instead, and Betamon began evolving into a sea serpent like figure.
"TYRANNOMON/GARGOMON/TURUIEMON/MAGNAMON/SEADRAMON!" The Digimon roared, and jumped into the fog with their tamers following. When they entered, the saw each other.
"Hey guys! You saw the fog too?" Meredith asked, with the four boys nodding.
"Yep! Me and Richard spotted the gas when we were….uh, watching….stuff. Not Spongebob." Joey said. The others began laughing.
"Well, I think we should find this guy we'll be fight-OOOF!" Richard was interrupted by Seadramon coming flying back from out of the fog and squashing him.
"Seadramon….What happened?" Richard asked, getting out from under his partner and examining his bruises.
"Arresterdramon….." Seadramon mumbled, before reverting back to Betamon.
"ARRESTERDRAMON!?" The group screamed, looking at each other scared.
"GARGO LASER!" They heard Gargomon scream, with several green flashes appearing in the fog. The team ran over to see their partners, aside from Betamon, who Richard was carrying, battling Arresterdramon, who was winning.
"DINO KICK!" Tyrannomon roared, launching his foot at Arresterdramon, who grabbed his toes and slammed him onto the ground.
"Gargo Laser!" Gargomon shouts again, shooting several lasers out of his arm cannons, each hitting Arresterdramon's chest plate, but they showed no damage on the mercenary Digimon.
"Uh oh." Gargomon was slashed by Arresterdramon's anchor tail and sent sliding along the ground into a tree.
"Gargomon, you okay?" Joey asked his partner, who nodded slowly, lifting his head up, but it instantly fell back down.
"Gauntlet Claw!" Turuiemon yelled, slashing at Arresterdramon, who dodged and pulled out his tail scythe, then slashed her claws directly off.
"Like Gargomon said: Uh oh!" Turuiemon exclaimed, just before she was whipped up far into God knows where by Arresterdramon's tail.
"Magna Blaster!" Magnamon shouted, sending a large golden wave at Arresterdramon, who jumps up in the air, avoiding the attack, then comes crashing down with Spiral Shredder, spinning around at incredible speeds.
"There's a pattern here….Well, I'm not giving up! Magna Punch!" Magnamon growled, and smashed his fist in the middle of the spin attack, hitting Arresterdramon directly in his head, leaving him stunned for a few seconds.
"Looks like a got an opening! Blaze Blast!" Tyrannomon roared, sending a fiery ball directly at Arresterdramon, incinerating him.
"Huh...That….hurt a bit….I cannot allow failure…." Arresterdramon grunted, while the fire was burning him.
"Arresterdramon Mode Change to…" Arresterdramon began glowing in a purple light, which enveloped him. He began growing rapidly in size, with armor and a cape growing on him. He roared and slashed the air several times before bursting out of the light.
"Arresterdramon Superior Mode!" The newly transformed screamed, growling at the two Digimon.
"Well Sukamon. Okay, time for a team attack, right Chase?" Logan asked his partner, who grins.
"Shining Gold Solar Storm to get him a bit dazed, go for the melee approach." Chase responded to his friend, who nodded.
"Hear that guys?" Logan looked over to their partners, who nodded, and Magnamon started charging up his attack.
"I heard it too…..MACH FLICKER SUPERIOR!" Arresterdramon screamed, and delivered several punches to Magnamon, putting some dents in his armor.
"Grrr! Magna Ki-" Magnamon was delivered a quick stab into his stomach, then punched in his face, sending him flying back into Chase, knocking him over.
"Well this isn't good….How about a Wild Buster!" Tyrannomon screamed, and ran at Arresterdramon, slamming into him.
"Now time for a Blaze Blast!" Tyrannomon growled, sending a blast of fire at Arresterdramon Superior Mode, who was caught off guard and hit.
"You two tougher than I thought. Much stronger than your friends…. You know, Mephistomon could use people like you… Why don't you join us?" Arresterdramon asked, spitting out some data out of his mouth.
"What…? Never! I'm not joining people like you, who would hurt my friends! Tyrannomon, take this!" Logan screamed, and held his Digivice, with the screen facing Tyrannomon. Bearmon, Gladimon, Buraimon and Garurumon appeared on the screen, and data was sent as a stream at his partner, making him grow at least twice in size, now matching Arresterdramon's size.
"Much better! Now, time for another Blaze Blast!" Tyrannomon shouted, and sent a gigantic fireball at Arresterdramon, hitting him and covering him in soot.
"Agh! You're...very powerful. Up to the power of about Devidramon at minimum level. Luckily I'm as strong as him at half power….SPIN CALIPER!" Arresterdramon Superior Mode shouted, and his scythe became much larger. The Dragon's Roar heir slashed Tyrannomon right across his chest, and huge amounts of data flew out. Tyrannomon began reverting back to his normal size, and struggled to stand up.
"TYRANNOMON!" Logan screamed, his partner falling to the ground. Arresterdramon chuckled and walked over to the defeated Digimon.
"You're done for, you hear? All of your friends are down, and now so are you! This was too easy." Arresterdramon chuckled, and stomped on Tyrannomon's back.
"Tyrannomon!" Logan cried, trying to run over to his partner.
"Logan don't!" Joey shouted, and grabbed Logan's arm, holding him from getting close.
"Let go, JOEY!" Logan grunted trying to break free. Chase noticed Joey struggling so he came over and helped him restrain Logan.
"STOP IT! HE'S GETTING HURT!" Logan shouted, kicking Joey in the shins.
"YOU'LL get hurt too! What you have to do is retrieve the data back into your Digivice and let him go back to Koromon! That way he's small and fast enough to get away! He's really beat up, too! Gargomon and Magnamon might be able to finish the job!" Joey explained, and Logan paused. After a few seconds, he responded.
"You're….You're right. De-Digivolve!" Logan yelled, and the data was sucked back into the Digivice. Tyrannomon transformed back to Koromon, and began bouncing back to Logan.
"Hmph. So now I'm fighting the hamster and the tin man. Pathetic." Arresterdramon remarked, smirking.
"He's a dog!" Joey growled, and pulled out his Digivice. Chase did the same and data was shot at their Digimon partners, increasing their size.
"Man, this data transferring thing is pretty useful!" Chase exclaimed, and Joey nodded.
"Ugh, I'm so useless…." Richard grumbled, looking down at Betamon saddened.
"Don't be so hard on yourself! It's my fault…." Bukamon responded, but began feeling bad himself.
"Stop it! Stop both of us! We're not done yet! Think you can digivolve again!?," Ryan asked his partner, who nodded determined, and Richard inserted the drive, "Digivolution Activate!"
"Betamon digivolve to….Seadramon!" The Champion level roared, and some more data was shot out the digivice, increasing his size.
"I'm BAAAAACK!" Turuiemon screamed, finally re-entering the battle and landing on her feet, surprisingly.
"Way to go! Now, time to help out!" Meredith cheered on as her partner gained the data from the digivice and jumped into action.
"Maybe you four will now be….useful. Time for a Spiral Shredder!" The blue dragon shouted, and began spinning, but Gargomon smashed his Arm Cannon on the ground and several blasts were fired underneath Arresterdramon's feet, stopping him from spinning.
"That's our new attack! Ground Bomber!" Gargomon and Joey grinned at their strategy, while Logan stared at his friend, impressed that JOEY was able to come up with a clever tactic.
"Hidden Weakness!" Turuiemon exclaimed, and her ears stood up for a few seconds, until one of them pointed to Arresterdramon's tail and she shot ice shards at it, causing it to freeze and weigh the beast down.
"Man, this practice at the tower really paid off!" Meredith said to her partner, who nodded.
"Practice?" Logan asked the two, he, Richard, Chase and their partners all very confused.
"Remember when we split up in the tower? Me and Meredith found a room with dummies and stuff like that, so we were able to practice!" Joey explained, with Meredith nodding.
"Well, neat! Okay, let's continue!" Logan stated, and it showed Gargomon and Turuiemon slashing and shooting, respectively, Arresterdramon, while Seadramon wrapped himself around Arresterdramon, tying him up.
"SHINING GOLD SOLAR STORM!" Magnamon screamed, and space began warping around him, before a gigantic golden beam was shot out from his body that hit Arresterdramon in the area where Seadramon had not wrapped around. The dragon began shrinking in size after he was hit, until he eventually de-digivolved back into Gumdramon.
"Looks like we win!" Joey exclaimed, looking down at the tiny blue dragon with a hammer. However, they heard chuckling from the beast, and they got confused.
"What are you laughing at? My friends completely destroyed you!" Logan told the Rookie Digimon, who stood up slowly.
"According to some of my research, 4 of you have watched the Digimon Show. That means you know about…Dark Digivolution, correct?" Gumdramon asked, chuckling.
"Yea- Aw crapbaskets." Joey realised what the tiny monster was saying, with the others figuring it out as well.
"Yes….Gumdramon digivolve to…." The fog around them began turning black, and it started drawing near Gumdramon, surrounding him and forming him into a gigantic dragon like creature with wings and claw...guns? Anwyays, he was dark digivolving, and that fog was given a purpose. It was the last resort, Dark Digivolution, for the Digimon that came here.
"MEGADRAMON!" The Virus type Digivolution roared, acid falling from his mouth to the ground. He looked at the Champion level Digimon and growled.
"Well looks like the cute part of Gumdramon is DOGGONE, eh guys?" Gargomon joked, trying to lighten the mode, but the four were instantly hit by Megadramon's Dark Side Attack, causing them to revert to their In-Training forms and sent flying back to their partners.
"Gummymon/Kokomon/Bukamon/DemiVeemon!" The Digidestined cried to their partners, catching them and hugging them close.
"You okay buddy?" Joey asked his partner, placing him on his head.
"Kokomon, wake up…" Meredith whispered to her partner, who was knocked out in her hands.
"Nice job, Bukamon…" Richard said to his Digimon, who yawned and began resting on his shoulder.
"You're the best, little guy…" Chase mumbled to his partner, who gave him as small smile.
"Koromon….This isn't good." Logan grumbled, looking up at Megadramon, who was growling viciously.
"ULTIMATE SLICER!" Megadramon shouted, with a purple energy blade coming out of his arm cannon. He slashed at the Digidestined, who could scream in fear.
"BLAST FIRE!" A new voice yelled, with a dark figure countering the blade with his fire sword. The Ultimate Level's attack was shattered from the sheer power of the Blast Fire move.
"What is this!?" Megadramon screamed, looking down at the tall figure. He was dressed in a purple robe with silver armor, several yellow markings and red clothes in the inside. A purple, witch like hat sat upon his head.
"Do not harm them….Or face the wrath of Mistymon!" The Digimon, revealed to be "Mistymon", announced while standing in front of the Digidestined.
"Who are you?" Logan asked the new Digimon, who turned to them and smiled.
"One of Wizardmon's friends. Now, please let me finish this." Mistymon stated, and turned to Megadramon.
"You think you scare me?! PLEASE! Take this! Dark Side Atta-ACK!" Mistymon had interrupted Megadramon, slashing him directly in half with his sword and causing him to burst into data.
However, the data spoke a few words in Arresterdramon's voice before being absorbed by Logan's Digivice.
"You may have thought you won this battle, but no...Not at all. You still have Octomon and Devidramon. But that's not it. Devidramon has reached a new level of power….Ultima-!" Arresterdramon could not finish and was absorbed into Logan's digivice. The fog had gone away after Megadramon Dark-Digivolved, and the Digidestined could see it was probably around 6:00 now.
"Well…that was awesome. Hey, Mistymon, thanks for the help!" Logan said to the powerful knight, but they realised he had vanished.
"Woah….So...uh, guys, I talked to Wizardmon this morning and apparently we have a free day. So….Breakfast at Chase's place?" Logan explained to the group, and they nodded, heading over to Chase's house, carrying their partners.
Though, Joey had a huge question on his mind. What Arresterdramon said right before he digivolved.
"He must have been trying to say Ultimate! That's….terrifying. If we couldn't beat Megadramon, then how can we face his boss?! Me and Terriermon….we're gonna have to train." Joey thought, looking up at the sky.
Meanwhile, Logan had been thinking about his and Wizardmon's discussion that morning and what Arresterdramon said to him.
"It's my job to take care of the team...I care for them so much….but if I joined them, I could become stronger….and not have to feel sad or angry when somebody hurts my friends because I won't have them….N-...No….Never...Never…" Logan thought deeply, his eyes glowing orange for a few seconds, but it faded back to his regular blue.
In the treehouse, Wizardmon had been panting from exhaustion. From what? Not telling. But he did hear what Arresterdramon said about Devidramon reaching Ultimate level. It was extremely worrying, as one of his Candlemon should've reported back to him about it. However, being the Digidestined's responsible leader, remained calm, and looked out the tree fort, looking at Logan, then smiled.
