Trouble was beginning to brew on the bridge. T.K. managed to save Kari after she nearly got her head cut off by Davis.

"Nice save T.K." Tai said as the digidestine regrouped.

"Yeah, thank you T.K." Kari said as T.K. put her down and Pegasusmon turned back into Patamon.

"Are you nuts, Davis? I can't believe you actually tried to kill her." T.K. said.

"My goal is to destroy all of you now that my training with Hydroumon has been complete." Davis said. He snapped his fingers and that was the signal for his team to regroup as they gathered around him.

"Don't make me have to fight you again." T.K. said.

"Again? You didn't put a fight to begin with." Davis said. T.K. pulled out his D3 and had Patamon become Angemon. "Take him down Saphdramon." Saphdramon stepped forward as did Angemon.

"T.K., let's take him together." Matt said.

"No, I have to do this." T.K. said.

"I know you're going to try and reach out to him, but it's obvious that he doesn't want anything to do with us. You'll hold back, let us help." Matt said.

"I don't think so. Splashmon, make sure the rest of them don't interfere." Davis said.

"Don't worry, Black Splasher will take care of that." Splashmon said. He tossed Black Splasher and it formed a cage around them except Angemon. Then, Splashmon jumped in the air. "Yellow Splasher, give them a shocking refreshment." He had Yellow Splasher spread around in droplets and sprayed the other digimon. They all got shocked and were now paralyzed.

"What did you just do?" Angemon said.

"Not me, just a little friend that happens to be a part of me." Splashmon said.

"You have other things to worry about." Saphdramon said as he flew in at Angemon and kicked him to the side and over the bridge. Saphdramon flew after him and tied to strike him with his claws, but Angemon was using his staff to block them.

"Come on Angemon, beat him so we can get Veemon back." T.K. said.

"Be quiet. I could have Black Splasher detonate if I wanted." Splashmon said.

"Just sit back and enjoy the show." Lotosmon said.

"Hand of Faith."

Angemon fired multiple energy blasts from his hands, but Saphdramon was able to dodge most of them. Saphdramon came down from above, but Angemon held up his staff and was able to block it as both of them were pushing against the other.

"Stop this now." Angemon said, but Saphdramon kept pushing. "I said stop!" Angemon brought up his leg and kicked him off. "Veemon, how could you possibly agree to this?! Surely you couldn't possibly be okay with this." Saphdramon didn't give him an answer. "Answer me!"

"Don't waste your breath." Davis said. "He's become a much less talker over the years. Veemon chose to come with me and you won't be talking him out of this." Saphdramon flew in and kicked Angemon in the head as he was plummeting to the ground. Saphdramon was faster as he was able to get behind him and brought his knee into Angemon's back.

"You can't do this Davis. This is your home and we're your friends." T.K. said.

"How long are you going to keep that up?" Davis said.

"Until you see that you're wrong about how things are." T.K. said.

"Saphdramon, destroy Angemon so T.K. can understand." Davis said. Saphdramon whacked Angemon as he hit the bridge and was spread eagle. He flew up to eye level and was preparing to strike with blue flames.

"I didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice." Angemon said and stored energy around his hand. He was able to pull his arm out and pounded Saphdramon across the face. He pounded him in the stomach and fired as the energy was released and shot into the air.

"Not bad. He actually has some fight in him." Lotosmon said.

"Yes, but not much. Angemon must still be hurt from when I attacked him earlier." Davis said.

"Stop now before our partners get hurt. Davis, do you want a repeat on what happened back at the river two years ago." T.K. said.

"It won't be. It will be different because Angemon will be destroyed." Davis said.

"Are you even listening to yourself?" T.K. said.

"T.K., he's not going to listen. I think the Davis we know is gone because he didn't hesitate to destroy us." Tai said.

"I don't care. I know the real him is in there." T.K. said. "Davis, I know how you think your life was awful, but you didn't see all the good things you have. You had us as friends and you had a great partner. I know you and I didn't see eye to eye, but I still considered us as friends. You saw me as a rival, but I didn't think that matter. I never wanted us to rivals in the first place. I would have liked to think of us as good friends." T.K. tried reaching out for him, but it was having the opposite effect. Dark energy was started to circle around him.

"I've heard enough. It's time I show you a miracle, a miracle found in darkness." Davis said as he held up his D3 and it released a dark light. Saphdramon glowed in that light and became the dark version of Magnamon. The digidestine could feel the evil and the lust for destruction.

"What is that?" Joe said as he already looked like he was going to wet his pants.

"He used that against us." Matt said.

"That miracle will be your destruction." Davis said. Magnamon flew in and launched rapid punches at Angemon and he couldn't defend himself. Magnamon kicked him right over the bridge. He reappeared right above Angemon as he grabbed by the head and drove him straight down.

"Angemon!" T.K. shouted as they made contact. Magnamon was holding him up by the head. He tossed him up and kicked him away. Magnamon held up his hands as he fired multiple energy blasts at him and fired nonstop. "Cut it out! Leave him alone already!"

"Let's see the damage." Davis said. Magnamon stopped firing as the smoke cleared and saw that Angemon became Patamon. Magnamon walked over and placed his foot over Patamon and pressed down.

"AAAAWWWWW!"

"Stop it!" Sora said.

"What are you doing, knock it off right now." Tai said.

"I've told you that I would bring a miracle forged in darkness." Davis said. Magnamon continued to press down on poor Patamon. If he wouldn't stop, Patamon would be squashed like a watermelon.

"That's enough Magnamon and Davis." Everyone looked up to the top of the bridge and saw Hydroumon was up there.

"What are you doing here?" Davis said.

"It's obvious that you failed to destroy the digidestine." Hydroumon said.

"I know that, that's why I'm doing this." Davis said.

"Well I need you and the others to be brought back right now." Hydroumon said.

"Why?" Davis said.

"Don't question me, just do it." Hydroumon said and he just vanished.

"That was weird. How did he just disappear like that?" Mimi said.

"He wasn't really here. It was just a projection sending a message, but why does he want Davis back now?" T.K. said. Davis didn't see why he couldn't finish them off right here and now, but he didn't question it.

"You heard him Magnamon, it's time to go. Just give Patamon a final touch." Davis said. Magnamon took his foot off and lifted Patamon by the wing. He gave Patamon one last punch as he was flying back towards the digidestine.

"Don't go, Davis!" T.K. begged.

"Shut them up. It's time for us to go. Give us some cover, Splashmon." Davis said.

"If you say so." Splashmon said. He snapped his fingers and caused Black Splasher to explode around the digidestine and knocked them all out. T.K. still had some consciousness. Splashmon brought up the water and had it come down around Davis and the rest of them and they used it as a cover to escape.

"Come back." T.K. said as he reached out and then blacked out.

…

Hydroumon's Lair

Hydroumon was sitting on a throne chair as he observed the fight from a monitor. He watched how Davis released dark energy and how Saphdramon went into Magnamon. He found it interesting and he believed that confronting his past was the answer.

"Amazing, I don't think I've ever seen Veemon digivolve like that." Hydroumon said. "It seems the more his former teammates reach out to him, the more his dark power is released. Those fools, they don't know that they are playing right into my hands."
