The Gates of Dragon had Davis trapped, but instead of attacking, they said that their master would like to meet him. He didn't understand what was going on.

"Meet me?" Davis said.

"He's seen what your life is like." Ravenhoodmon said.

"Lord Hydroumon wishes to change your life. He's offering a better one where you would have no more pain and suffering." Grademon said.

"You guys don't look exactly the friendly type so I doubt your master is." Veemon said.

"I guess you could say that. Lord Hydroumon does use a dark power." Madleomon said.

"Davis, you fought for light, but looks where's that gotten you." Reapmon said. "Maybe you were meant to fight for the dark side all along. Hydroumon can show you his power and you would never have to worry about pain and suffering done towards you again."

"As good as that sounds, I'm going to have to refuse." Davis said as he pulled with all his might. His clothes on his right did rip, but he grabbed his D3. "Digi-Armor Energize!"

"Veemon Armor digivolve to….Flamedramon, The Fire of Courage"

Flamedramon dived right towards Reapmon, but Reapmon jumped above him. He pulled out his guns and started firing. Flamedramon was quick and was able to avoid them, but Grademon cut off his path. Flamedramon tried using his claws, but Grademon just used one sword to block him.

"Arrow Barrage."

Ravenhoodmon fired multiple arrows and they exploded on impact as they hit Flamedramon. Flamedramon didn't go down. He grabbed Grademon by the arm and tossed him into Ravenhoodmon. He didn't have the chance to catch his breath as Madleomon thrusted his claw in Flamedramon's face as he shoved him into the ground. He lifted him up and kicked him back to Davis.

"You can't beat all of us. The four of us are at the ultimate level and one armor digimon isn't enough." Reapmon said.

"That's what you think!" Flamedramon said. He got right under Reapmon and kicked him in the air. Flamedramon jumped up and got right above him and gave him another kick as Reapmon plummet into the ground.

"Fire Rocket."

Flamedramon dived down in fire and tackled him as Reapmon went down in a little bit deeper. Flamedramon jumped up, but Madleomon went to attack him. Flamedramon dodged all of his slashes and jumped up. He kicked off from a tree and got above all four of them.

"Flame Fist."

Flamedramon shot multiple fireballs down at all of them and they were surrounded by fire. Flamedramon thought he won, but Reapmon jumped through the flames and place the end of his gun on Flamedramon's right shoulder. He fired and knocked Flamedramon down and was force to dedigivolve.

"Veemon, speak to me!" Davis said as he checked to see if he was okay.

"Stop trying to fight us." Reapmon said as the four of them stood side by side and were giving off a dark aura. "We haven't even shown our true power and you couldn't come close to us."

"I don't care what you say, I'm not going with you guys. Why are you trying to convince me?" Davis said. "Why didn't you just try and kidnap us or were you too scare to of my power to take me by surprise so you had to fight me?"

"That didn't make sense and don't flatter yourself." Reapmon said. "We were given explicit orders for the both of you to come with us willingly. Why would you even want to stay here? You have an awful family and your friends don't care for you either." That surprised Davis because this was the first time he's even seen these guys.

"How would you know something like that?" Davis said.

"We've been watching you." Reapmon said. "You don't have anything that's keeping you hear."

"You're wrong. There is one thing." Davis said.

"Are you talking about the digidestined of light? I recommend that you walk about five minutes straight towards the east and stay out of sight." Reapmon said. "Maybe then you will be convinced. Until you are, meet us in the digital world around midnight and leave everything behind." Once they said what they needed to, the four of them jumped off into the night. The clouds covered the moon as Davis lost sight of them and the moon covered something more.

"What was that about?" Davis said. His curiosity getting the better of him, he got up and started heading east to learn what they meant.

…..

Kari

Kari and T.K. were still out as they walking through the city. Nothing, but the lights of the city that showed their way.

"Well this was nice, but I really should be getting home." Kari said.

"Wait, Kari before you go, there's something I like to tell you." T.K. said.

"Okay, what is it?" Kari said. T.K. took in a deep breath. His heart started pumping for what he was about to say could affect a lot.

"Kari, we've been friends for a long time." T.K. said. "We've been through a lot, but there's something I need to tell you. The truth is, I like you a lot. I want us to go out together." Kari couldn't believe what she was hearing. She thought it was all rumors, but it was true. T.K. reached out and placed his hands in hers "What do you say Kari?" She really didn't know what to say and they didn't know who was watching. Davis was hiding and heard what he said. This was what Reapmon was trying to tell him. It was as if he knew what was going to happen.

"No, this can't be." Davis whispered. He didn't want to believe it, but it was happening right in front of him. Not only did he lose to T.K. again, but now he's lost his heart. Not wanting to watch anymore and have more of heart broken, he just ran off. He didn't hear what Kari had to say.

"T.K., I'm flattered, really, but I can't." Kari said as she tried to let him down gently. "I don't want to hurt you, but the truth is I have feelings for someone else."

"It is Davis, isn't it?" T.K. said.

"Yes." Kari said. "I know he might be annoying, a bit rude, but he's a great guy. I guess I started to see the kind of guy he is after everything we went through. I can't explain it, it's just what my heart is telling me." T.K. felt sad, but it didn't hurt him as much as he thought.

"I understand. If you want to be with him, that's perfectly fine with me." T.K. said. Kari felt happy knowing he didn't hurt him so much and he understood. Davis felt completely different.

…..

Davis

Davis slammed his door shut as he let his grief take over him. The Gates of the Dragon were right all along.

"Davis, anything could have happen. We left too early." Veemon said.

"Don't bother trying to cheer me up. Those guys were right." Davis said. "I tried fighting for what's right, tried fighting for my friends, but that got me nowhere." Davis looked over to a picture of him and his friends. He looked so happy, but he finds out that it was all a lie. He wasn't going to have it anymore as he pushed the picture down.

…..

Kari

"Bye T.K., see you tomorrow." Kari said. She made it home as she and T.K. went their separate ways Kari was about to go up the steps, but something stopped her as the wind blew in her face and she looked to see the clouds block the moon. She felt something was wrong and her heart was telling her to go after it. "What's going on? I've got a bad feeling all of a sudden."

…

Davis

Davis carried a backpack on him as he was heading towards the school. Since the school is where his adventure as a digidestine began, he felt that it was only right for that to be the place where it ended. Before he could go inside, he saw Kari step forward. He didn't show it, but he found that it was strange she was here.

"What are you doing here?" Davis said.

"I could be asking you the same thing." Kari said.

"It's late, you should be in bed." Davis said as he walked past her.

"So should you." Kari said and Davis stopped, but didn't turn to look at her. "What's going on? Why are you out here Davis?"

"I'm done." Davis said.

"What do you mean you're done?" Kari said.

"I'm done with this life of a lie. I've been offered the chance to end all suffering for me." Davis said.

"What do you mean end all suffering for you? What are you talking about?" Kari said.

"All my life it's been a misery." Davis said. "Then he rolled around and it made things worst. T.K. had everything and I didn't. That's why I am going to a digimon named Hydroumon. His power might be dark, but I guess that's where I truly belong."

"What? Davis that sounds crazy." Kari said.

"Don't bother hiding what's really going on. I heard what T.K. said to you not too long ago." Davis said. "There's nothing keeping me here. This is a true path of joy for me."

"Davis, there's something you probably didn't here." Kari said.

"I don't want to hear it. This is goodbye." Davis said.

"You can't be serious. Davis, you can't leave." Kari said. "We can help you with your problems. This just doesn't make sense as to why you would want to leave." Davis didn't bother answering. He just kept walking. "Don't leave!" Before Kari could do anything, something hit her in the head and knocked her out. Davis turned around and saw Veemon holding up a stick he used.

"Veemon, you're here too?" Davis said.

"Even if you're going on this path, I'm going with you." Veemon said. "You're my friend and partner. If you have to go to darkness, I'll go as well."

"Fine." Davis said and stared at Kari as she lied on the ground. He took off his goggles and dropped them right next to her. Davis and Veemon went through the digital gate and entered the digital world. Once they arrived, the Gates of the Dragon were there with each down on one knee. "What's this?"

"We knew you would come, so we've decided to make you our leader." Reapmon said.

"Fine, let's get going." Davis said. He has set out on this path towards joy, a dark path.
