Justin: Actually Kazu, this will be about another trip down the dark alley.

Kenta: What dark alley? Are we going back to the Real World?

Everyone: *Sighing* No you idiots, it's a figure of speech!

Kazu and Kenta: Oh. Why didn't you say so in the first place?

*Loud Crashing (Everyone fell on their backs)*

Chapter 14: The Darkside Beckons

Last time on Digimon, our heroes encountered the Demon Lord of Sloth, Belphemon Rage Mode, and manage to force him to retreat. Justin was somehow brought to the Dark Ocean where he met Dragomon and Daemon, then ended up in some prison, which he was freed from and later released the prisoners, but he also learned the secrets of the Prophecy of the Old. But what cost did this come too?

Di Di Di…

Digimon, Digimon, Di Di Di…

Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the Champions!

When you, dare enter the Champions, too, save and defend the worlds!

Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the Champions!

Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the Champions!

Digimon, Digital Monsters, DIGIMON!

Later the next day, Tai was the first to get up, and Matt, Ken and Sora later ended up joining him.

"Morning guys.", Ken said.

"Morning Ken.", Matt, Sora and Tai said.

"Did you guys see what Magnamon and Omnimon looked like last night?", Sora asked Ken.

Ken shook his head and replied, "Not really, Kari, TK, Cody, Davis and I were more worried about Justin.".

"Why, what happened to him?", Matt asked.

"I don't really know what happened, but upon seeing him, he looked terrible. His face was white and his eyes were blank. He mentioned something about his future and just passed out. He was lucky that Kari and Cody caught him before he hit the ground.", Ken replied, "And from what I saw when I woke up, he's busy sleeping in Kari's lap. Some of the colour has returned to his face, but whatever made him go like that, we'll have to ask him.".

Tai nodded and asked what he said about Kari. Ken was taken aback and he repeated what he said.

"So Justin is sleeping on my little sister's lap huh?", Tai said, his brotherly instincts taking over.

"Whoa, easy Tai! I think you might want to see for yourself before you wake them. You see, uh, Kari has her arms wrapped around Justin while he is asleep. They're both sleeping, so it might not be a good idea to wake them up.", Ken explained.

"Huh! Kari is doing that?", Tai asked, dumbstruck by his little sister's actions.

He thought it would be TK or Davis ending like that, not this new guy Justin.

"OK, fine. Let's take a look.", Tai sighed.

The four of them went back to look and they were shocked at what they saw. What Ken said was true, and both of them looked peaceful, while Kari was smiling a little. Tai turned around when something caught his eye. He took out his mini telescope and looked in the distance.

"Guys, lets go find Izzy. I want to find out what I saw there.", Tai said.

They nodded and left to go and find the computer wizard.

*CHANGE OF SCENE*

Meanwhile, a dark shadow reported back to some kind of castle.

"My lord Barbamon, I've discovered where the DigiDisteneds are. They are at the cave where the Royal Knight were sealed by the Dark Masters.", the shadow wheezed to the Demon Lord.

Barbamon nodded and sent him away.

'I would like to go their myself, but I have to keep my cool. Daemon will be most displeased if I go against his orders. Beelzemon is dead and Belphemon is injured. The last thing I want is to be on Daemon's bad side, and when I say bad side, I mean bad mood!', the Demon Lord of Greed thought, 'I should report to Daemon and tell him that the DigiDisteneds are in my area.'.

Barbamon left to make contact with the Dark Ocean, while he sent his servant to spy on the DigiDisteneds again.

*CHANGE OF SCENE*

"Here Izzy, tell me what Digimon I saw.", Tai said, giving Izzy his Digivice.

Izzy took it and took out his computer. He then placed the Digivice in the slot.

"Hmm, lets see what we have here.", Izzy said, scanning the Digivice, "Prodigious! Its SkullSatamon!".

Tai, Matt, Sora and Ken groaned.

"Oh great, it's that hyper-active Digimon again. What does it say about him?", Matt said.

Izzy looked at the profile of SkullSatamon for a while before he made a yelp.

"What is it Izzy?", Sora asked, shocked by Izzy's behaviour.

"He's a spy! For the Demon Lord Barbamon!", Izzy said.

Tai then ran to the direction he saw SkullSatamon with Agumon following him.

"Hey Tai! Wait up!", Agumon said to his partner.

Tai stopped and allowed Agumon to go on his shoulders, then ran towards where he saw the Digimon.

"Mind if I can join you?", Garurumon asked.

Tai jumped in surprise, but he shook it off as he climbed on with Agumon.

*CHANGE OF SCENE*

"I don't understand why Master Barbamon doesn't attack, this is not like him.", SkullSatamon said to no one in particular, "Maybe he wants to capture them or set a tr-".

"Howling Blaster!"

A sudden stream of blue fire hit SkullSatamon from behind, taking him by surprise.

"Nova Blast!"

A large fireball then forced its way to SkullSatamon, sending him flying.

"What tha?", the Digimon said as he saw a large wolf and dinosaur Digimon staring him down, with Tai and Matt watching from the sidelines.

"Ha hahahahaha! Do you really think two Champions are a match to me? The only way I got hit was because they took me by surprise!", SkullSatamon said.

"Oh yeah? How about two Ultimates against you, how does that sound?", Tai asked.

"Huh?", was all SkullSatamon could say when there was a flash of light.

"Greymon, Digivolve To… MetalGreymon, Rwaargh!"

"Garurumon, Digivolve To… WereGarurumon, HAWOOOOOO!"

"Oh-oh.", SkullSatamon said.

"Should we flip a coin or take turns?", WereGarurumon asked.

"Allow me: Gigga Blaster!", MetalGreymon said as he released two shark-shaped missiles from his chest plate.

The missiles hit SkullSatamon, causing an explosion that WereGarurumon took to his advantage.

"Wolf Claw!"

WereGarurumon used his claws on his hands to slash the air, sending red energy from his hands to the downed Digimon. When the smoke cleared, it revealed two Digimon. The new Digimon was wearing robes and had a long staff in his hand. He had a long, white beard and hair. His hands were claw-like and he had small, red, devilish wings.

"Please Master, have mercy!", SkullSatamon begged.

"You are a fool! I show no forgiveness to my enemies, nor do I show it to servants who can't get their jobs done! Be gone with you, Crimson Flame!", the Digimon said.

He brought his staff down and flames erupted from it and it hit SkullSatamon, who screamed in pain before exploding into data.

"Urrrgh, you can never find decent servants these days.", the Digimon said to no one in particular.

The two Ultimates looked at each over and the same went for Matt and Tai.

"Sometimes I wonder why this happens; your best spies even fail and must be punished. But now, what am I going to do.", the Digimon continued to rant.

"Maybe we should leave before he realises we're here.", Tai whispered to Matt.

MetalGreymon and WereGarurumon reverted to their Rookie forms and they backed away quietly from the Digimon.

"Do you think I'm going to let you leave that easily? I was sharing my problems with you, hoping you could help me. And now you decide you're going to leave and give me more problems.", the Digimon said, looking at the four retreating backs, "I wasn't going to attack you, and you're going to leave. So be it.".

This caused the four to spin around and Matt was the first to speak.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! How were we supposed to know that? That SkullSatamon called you 'Master', and we thought you were talking to yourself!", Matt said.

"Yeah, and how were we supposed to know that. We heard you say that you weren't merciful to your enemies or servants that fail you!", Agumon added.

The Digimon laughed at this, a laugh that caused shivers to run down their spines.

"That's true, ironic isn't it. But tell me, are you my servants?", the Digimon asked.

"No.", Tai and Agumon replied.

The Digimon nodded and asked again, "Did I say you were my enemies?".

This question caught them of guard.

"N… No.", Matt and Gabumon said.

"You see? I wasn't going to attack you; I have no reason to attack you. I only wanted reports about you lot, not violence.", the Digimon said.

This got Matt and Tai starting to feel foolish about themselves while Gabumon and Agumon were still unsure what to do.

"Well, to help you with your situation, maybe you should pay your servants. That helps give them moral. That's how we survive in the Real World. You pay your workers well, they work as hard as they can for you.", Tai said.

The Digimon thought about this.

"Hmm, not a bad idea. I guess you DigiDisteneds aren't so bad after all.", the Digimon said thoughtfully.

"Uh, I don't mean to be rude, but what did you mean that we 'weren't bad after all'?", Matt asked.

The Digimon looked at Matt and said, "Sometimes, you kids give some of us Digimon trouble. Entire areas destroyed, plains turned into battlefields, I for one, haven't forgotten about what happened with your encounter with Apocalymon. But, I guess I should be grateful. Your victory gave hope to us Digimon.".

"Hey, we didn't pick that fight! He just came and attacked us!", Tai said, trying to defend themselves.

The Digimon chuckled. "Yes, of course. Us evil Digimon come and fight you the whole time, sometimes you don't want to fight.", the Digimon said.

Tai and Matt gasped while Gabumon and Agumon prepared for a fight.

The Digimon started to laugh at this. "Relax, I admit that I am evil, but I don't agree with the Demon Lords. I've had enough of Lor… Lucemon for a lifetime.", the Digimon said.

His voice sounded scared when he said Lucemon's name.

"So you are a Demon Lord!", Gabumon said, realising the truth.

"That's correct. I am Barbamon, Demon Lord of Greed. I am the strategist of the Demon Lords and the most cunning of all seven. I wield my staff, Death Lure, for all my attacks, and without it, I am defenceless. My Crimson Flame sends Hell's fire to my enemies, and I also use my dreaded Death Lure attack to make any Digimon or human to turn to my side, except the Royal Knights. My Pandemonium Lost attack is my shield and counter-attack to all attacks.", Barbamon said, doing a mock bow.

"Guys, if he's a Demon Lord, you have to Digivolve to Mega!", Tai said.

"Wait! I just told you, I have no intention to fight you!", Barbamon said.

Matt and Tai were looking at each other, not sure what to do.

"Here, let me help you: Death Lure!", Barbamon said evilly, pointing his staff at Tai and Agumon.

A sudden blue light hit both of them, sending them to the ground.

"Tai!", Matt shouted, "Gabumon, you have to Digiv-".

"I don't think so, Death Lure!", Barbamon said again, pointing his staff at Matt and Gabumon.

Another blue light hit them, sending them to the ground next to Tai and Agumon.

*CHANGE OF SCENE*

Back at the camp, Kari just woke up and remembered what happened the previous night. She looked down to see Justin still fast asleep on her lap, and she couldn't help but smile.

'He looks so peaceful, but how long will that be with these Demon Lords out there?', Kari thought to herself.

"Awww, isn't that cute?", a voice cooed, bringing Kari back to reality.

She turned to see Mimi looking at her.

"Mimi, this isn't how it loo-", Kari started, but Mimi cut her off.

"Don't worry, I can keep a secret.", Mimi said, giving Kari a wink.

There was a loud yawn and both girls jumped.

"Urrrgh, my head hurts.", a voice said from Kari's lap.

"Justin! Are you all right?", Kari asked, looking at the boy on her lap.

"Yeah, I think- huh! Why am I down here?", Justin asked, noticing that Mimi was towering above him.

He then looked up and saw that Kari's face wasn't that far from his. He then looked and realised where he was. He then tried hard not to blush in front of the two girls, especially Mimi; otherwise he'll have her cooing over him again.

"What happened after I freed the Royal Knights?", Justin asked, "And why am I sleeping on you Kari?".

"Well, you came out of the cave, and you looked terrible. If it wasn't for me and Cody, you would have been hurt badly. But seemingly as you collapsed on me and Cody grabbed you from behind, I guess you could use some rest.", Kari explained, "But before I put you down, Cody suggested that you use something soft as a pillow than a rock or the sand.". "Uh, thanks Kari, I guess.", Justin said, his face turning extremely crimson.

"Wow! Your face is redder than Myotismon's Crimson Lightning attack.", Mimi said.

Justin was confused by this. "Who?", Justin asked.

He heard a giggle and he turned around to see Kari giggling.

'Mimi's right, his face is redder than Myotismon's attack.', Kari thought, still giggling.

"Who's Myotismon?", Justin asked.

"He's an evil vampire Digimon that invaded the Real World a few years ago. We defeated him, and he came back as VennomMyotismon. We nearly lost again if it wasn't for Matt and Tai having their partners reach Mega. Then he came back again as MaloMyotismon, and nearly covered both worlds in Darkness, but thanks to all the DigiDisteneds from all over the world, we defeated him once and for all.", Mimi explained.

"Covering the worlds in Darkness? Huh! I remember that! The world got really dark of all of a sudden, and a few minutes later, thousands, no, maybe millions, of beams of light shot into the sky!", Justin said.

Mimi and Kari nodded.

"Oh, and Justin?", Izzy asked suddenly, causing the three of them jump.

"Ja?", Justin replied.

"How did you become a DigiDistened?", Izzy asked again.

"Hmm, well from what's happened in my past life, I don't really know.", Justin answered.

"Well, why don't you tell us more about yourself?", Cody said.

"Fine, but I'm leaving a few stuff out, they're too personal.", Justin said.

Everyone nodded and he began to explain.

*CHANGE OF SCENE* = *Matt's POV*

"Urrrgh, what happened?", I asked.

I opened my eyes to see, well, nothing.

"Tai! Gabumon!", I called out, hoping I would be able to see them.

"Matt, is that you?", a voice cried out.

I recognised the voice as Agumon's.

"Agumon, where are you?", I called out.

"Matt!", another voice cried out.

I looked around and saw Gabumon standing with Tai.

"Gabumon! Where were you?", I asked my partner.

Gabumon just shrugged and I saw something behind them. "Huh! Tai, look! We're in that Data World again!", I cried out, noticing another pattern of '1s' and '0s'.

Tai looked around and saw them. "Well, we're gonna have to do what we did last time!", Tai said.

I nodded and there was blue glow under my shirt when I called out, "FRIENDSHIP!".

Light hit Gabumon and we were all blinded by the light briefly.

"Gabumon, Warp Digivolve To… MetalGarurumon!"

"COURAGE!", Tai shouted out.

The same thing that happened to Gabumon was happening with Agumon too.

"Agumon, Warp Digivolve To… WarGreymon!".

The 1s and 0s began to disappear as we were brought back.

*CHANGE OF SCENE* = *Normal POV*

"Hahahaha, those kids won't know what hit them.", Barbamon laughed.

"Oh yeah? How sure are you?", a voice called out.

Barbamon was shocked and he turned around.

"Impossible! How did you break under my spell?", Barbamon shouter to the two DigiDisteneds and their Mega partners.

"Nothings impossible with the DigiDisteneds!", Tai shouted.

Matt nodded too.

"You will find not only us, but everyone are able to resist your control!", Matt said confidently.

"Hahahahaha! Do you really believe that? Don't be so overconfident, Friendship. I heard that you once betrayed your friends, how can you be so sure they've forgiven you?", Barbamon said.

Matt was shocked, but Tai put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

"Don't listen to him Matt, we've forgiven you years ago.", Tai said.

"Don't lie boy, you know you won't forgive him. You still hold a grudge on him for taking someone special from you.", the Demon Lord said, "I know you crave for her to be with you. She is your best friend, after all. And I know friends don't bail on each other. Why don't you take it back, settle your feuds on a fight. A fight to the death.".

Tai looked at Barbamon with hope, but he quickly shooked it off.

Matt was shocked to see Tai do this; he expected a punch coming his way.

"Your tricks won't work on us, Barbamon. We're much stronger than that.", Tai said, "Take him out WarGreymon!".

"You too MetalGarurumon!", Matt added.

"Right!", both Digimon said.

"Don't get too cocky with yourselves, I am twice the strength of ChaosPiedmon!", Barbamon said.

He pointed his staff at WarGreymon and screamed, "Crimson Flame!"

WarGreymon dodged it and gathered energy into his hands.

"Terror Force!"

WarGreymon threw the large fireball over his head at Barbamon, and he then brought his Dramon Destroyers in front of him. He watched as Barbamon jump out of the way and he started to spin very fast, like a out of control spinning top.

"Great Tornado!"

WarGreymon flew straight to Barbamon, and he used his staff to fire another wave of fire at the spinning Mega. WarGreymon just drilled through the fire and slammed into a wall; Barbamon jumped away at the last second.

"Metal Wolf Snout!"

MetalGarurumon released four laser beams from his snout, which strucked the unsuspecting Demon Lord.

"Why you little, insignificant insect! Take this, Crimson Flame!", Barbamon screamed, releasing more fire at MetalGarurumon.

"Metal Wolf Claw!"

The cyber wolf fired a jet stream of ice at the flames, but the fire from Barbamon just went through it like a hot knife cutting through butter.

"URRRGGHH!", MetalGarurumon cried out as the flame hit him.

"Terror Force!"

Another large fireball hit Barbamon, causing him to stumble back.

"Ice Wolf Bite!"

MetalGarurumon opened all the panels, revealing hundreds of hidden compartments in his body. He released hundreds of missiles at Barbamon. They all made an impact of the area around Barbamon.

"Gargo Missile!"

MetalGarurumon released a giant missile from his chest. The missile impacted on Barbamon and WarGreymon took this to his advantage. Powering up his next attack, WarGreymon gathered as much energy he could until it formed an even bigger fireball than necessary.

"Terror Force!"

WarGreymon threw the massive fireball, roughly the size of a large whale, at Barbamon.

"Pandemonium Lost!"

A large bubble surrounded Barbamon and it absorbed the fireball.

"Hahahahahaha! Take this improved Crimson Flame!", Barbamon shouted.

He pointed his staff at the bubble and a wave of fire went through. As soon as it went through, it got even bigger and it hit WarGreymon, forcing him to revert back to Agumon.

"Agumon!", Tai yelled.

MetalGarurumon ran and picked Matt up. He then picked up Tai and Agumon and flew back to the camp.

"Hahahahahaha, that's right! Flee for your lives! Hahahahahaha!", Barbamon yelled, laughing evilly.

*CHANGE SCENE*

"Oh, I see. So you believe that the reason you became a DigiDistened is because you saw a MetalSeadramon?", Joe asked.

"I think so. Its either that, or that weird Digimon in the sky.", Justin said.

He then realised something. "Hey, where's Tai and Yamato?", Justin asked.

"They went to go fight a SkullSatamon. He's been spying on us and he works for one of the Demon Lords.", Izzy said.

"Oh, that's good.", Justin said without thinking.

He then realised his mistake and corrected himself, "Well, the least spies there are, the less the Demon Lords will expect attacks from us.".

The others nodded at this. Suddenly, Justin began to hear the sound of waves splashing in the distance.

"Huh? Uh, guys? Is it just me or do I hear waves splashing in the distance?", Justin asked.

The others shook their heads saying they don't hear anything. The waves were getting closer and Justin could just make the outline of the coast. He then started to feel that could aurora from the Dark Ocean again, which meant one thing.

"Hey Justin? What's wrong? You're shaking like a leaf!", Joe said.

"It… It's the D… D… Dark O… Oce… an.", Justin said, chattering his teeth and shivering viciously.

"I think I could use a fire right abo- uuuggghhhaaa.", Justin said before passing out.

*CHANGE OF SCENE* = *Justin's POV*

'Oh great. Perfect. I'm back in this miserable place.', I thought as I continued to chatter my teeth. I noticed that I was at the same place where I was the last time I was in this place.

'I am freezing, I need to find a fire!', I thought, still shivering viciously.

I walked until I found a weird cave and I went in. I was still cold, but then I noticed something else. Red eyes. I looked at them and they looked back.

"Who are you? Show yourself!", I said.

"There's no need to fear us. We want you too help us.", a raspy voice said.

"How can I trust you if I can only see your eyes?", I asked, placing a good point there.

The eyes were coming closer and then I backed out of the cave. In what light there was, I saw they were Digimon. The eyes were green in the light, and I didn't know what to do.

"We are the Scubamon, and we are servants, slaves of the Ocean King. We were forced to serve and we only want the Queen and King of Light to help us.", the Digimon said.

"Ocean King? You mean Dragomon?," I asked.

The Scubamon nodded.

"Then who is the Queen and King of Light then?", I asked again, still curious.

One of the Scubamon pointed at me and said, "You are the King of Light, and there is a girl who has the powers of Light. We wish to serve under the two of you.". "The girl has a Angewomon as a partner as well.", another Scubamon told me.

"Don't lie to the boy, he isn't a king, and he'll never be a king. He will become the Great Emperor! The Great Emperor of Darkness, not Light", a very familiar voice said.

I turned around and saw that I was correct. On the cliff, was the robed figure of Daemon, the Demon Lord of Wrath.

"Daemon, this is an, unexpected surprise.", I said to the Demon Lord.

"You have no right to the Dark Ocean, Demon! This is our realm!", the Scubamon leader said, shaking an angry fist at the Demon Lord.

"Hahahahaha, don't make me laugh. You and your master couldn't defeat me, even if the whole Dark Ocean is against me!", Daemon taunted.

"Striking Fish!", harpoons were released from the Scubamon, striking Daemon full force.

The smoke began to rise and they heard Daemon laughing.

"Hahahahahahaha, don't tell me that was the best you could do!", Daemon laughed.

"Tentacle Claw!", a large tentacle smashed down hard on Daemon.

"URRRRRGH! How dare you do that! If you think you are stronger than me, then you are greatly mistaken! Evil Inferno!", Daemon said angrily, sending a huge wave of fire to the Scubamon and Dragomon.

The Scubamon were destroyed and Dragomon was forced into the ocean.

"Now that they are out the way, please follow me.", Daemon said.

I followed the Demon Lord to a large fortress. I was shocked to see the Scubamon horde destroyed so easily. As soon as we reached the gates, a ghost-like Digimon with a scythe approaching us.

"Why is there a human with you, O great Daemon?", the phantom Digimon asked.

"He is with me because of the prophecy. He heralds Lord Lucemon's freedom.", Daemon said to his servant.

"I see. You human! Try anything funny and you will meet my wrath! Nothing gets past me. I am Phantomon, and I use my Phantom Scythe to defeat my enemies.", the phantom Digimon said to me.

"Don't push your luck, phantom! You have no idea who you're dealing with!", I growled viciously at Phantomon.

"Why you little-", Phantomon growled at me but I backhanded him to the wall.

Phantomon looked at me in shock and he got back up.

"It seems I've underestimated you, but not for long! Phantom Scythe!", Phantomon snarled.

He brought his scythe downwards and a dark energy beam came to me. I remembered what happened to Daemon when he attacked me so I just slapped the attack back at Phantomon as though it was a pesky fly. Phantomon was too shocked to move to see his own attack come back at him. In a few seconds, Phantomon turned to digital bits. We entered some kind of room, it looked like a chamber.

"So, have you decided to join? Or are you still deciding?", Daemon asked.

I shook my head but then I thought of something.

"I might decide to join if you can do something for me.", I said, my hopes getting high again.

Daemon was looking at me curiously (or at least I think he was).

"What is it that you acquire?", he asked.

"Yesterday, I freed a group of Digimon called the Royal Knights. I asked them to do two things for me. I realised then that one of them wasn't really necessary but the second one they said it was impossible for any Digimon.", I explained.

Daemon's eyes were reduced to slits when I mentioned the Royal Knights but he only told me to go on.

"Well, I was wandering if you could do the second thing for me.", I carried on, "Opening a gate to the Real World, is that possible for you to do?".

Daemon looked at me then he laughed. Not a bone chilling laugh, but a laugh that will mock me.

"Of course I can open a Digital Gate. I was able to move to the Real World to get a certain item from a boy named Ken Ichijuoji, called the Dark Spore. Him and he's friends tried to defeat me, but failed. They even tried to send me to the Digital World and I opened a gate for them. But then Ken did something I didn't expect, opening a gate to here and sending me here. So I am trapped ere with that Digimon who claims he is the king and master of the Dark Ocean.", Daemon said, "I can open a gate to your world, but as long as I am trapped here, I can't do anything.".

I thought for a moment about this and I got an idea.

"OK, I have an idea.", I told the Demon Lord.

He was interested and said that I should continue.

"If I release you from this place, can you open the gate for me?", I asked, my hopes were being lifted even higher.

"Of course. But then, I want you to take this.", the Demon Lord said, giving me a weird, black object.

"What's this?", I asked, turning object around in my hands.

"That is an exact copy of the Dark Spore. When you feel you are ready, place it in your neck. I won't lie about this; it will be painful to place it in, and even more painful to remove it.", Daemon explained to me.

I was twirling the Dark Spore in my hands when I asked, "What will it do to me?".

I didn't like the sound of it being painful to place it in me. It was almost like I had to get a couple of shots from a needle the size of my arm.

'I hate stuff that hurts me.', I thought.

"Even though it will hurt, you will gain great things. You will become stronger than you are now and you will also become more intelligent too.", Daemon added.

Now those advantages of the Dark Spore were really tempting, but not enough. I placed the Dark Spore in my pocket of my pants and then I raised my Crest to Daemon. Daemon was shocked to see this and before he could say or do anything, my Crest shot a beam of light at the wall of the chamber. It strucked and a flash later revealed a gate. Daemon was shocked by this and he then bowed to me and walked through. He disappeared and then I closed the gate. I then quickly ran to the place I was before I met the Scubamon and opened another gate. I then turned to see the Dark Ocean for what I would hope to be my last time seeing it and I went through it.

*CHANGE OF SCENE* = *Normal POV*

"How long has he been out for?", Matt asked.

Everyone were around Justin and were worried. Joe was looking him over but couldn't come to a decision at all. Kari was anxious to see if Justin was all right and was hoping he would be fine.

"Urrrgh, what happened?", Justin asked, rubbing his head.

"You took a one way trip to dreamland.", Rika said to him, smirking.

"Watch it, I'm not the person you want to get angry with.", Justin hissed.

Everyone but Rika flinched, and Rika was still smirking.

"Oh yeah? What will you do then?", Rika asked.

Justin could hear the threat in her voice and he didn't back down.

"What will I do, you ask? You know what I'll do? I'll personally make sure your worst nightmares come true!", the brunette snarled.

Rika was shocked by this and she even took a few steps back.

"You'll do no such thing!", a voice said.

An instant later, Renamon appeared out of thin air in front of Justin.

"Huh? WAAAAAA!", Justin yelped, jumping back.

He wasn't the only one to get a fright or shout out loud, some of the other DigiDisteneds also did so.

"What the hell! Where did you come from?", Justin asked, clutching his heart.

Renamon smirked.

"That's for me to know and for you to find out.", Renamon said smugly.

"Royal Sabre!"

A bolt of lightning separated Renamon and Justin away and Gallantmon-X jumped between the two.

"That's enough! You are supposed to be friends, not enemies. We don't need fighting between us or the Demon Lords will use that to their advantage!", Gallantmon-X said, glaring both at Justin and Renamon.

"Sorry, I guess I was in the Dark Ocean for too long.", Justin explained.

"What!", Kari, Ken, Yolei and Davis shouted.

Justin winced from the shouting.

"Arrgh, my ears!", Justin said.

"Oops, sorry about that.", Davis apologised for that.

"What happened in there? You do know that Daemon is there, do you?", Ken said quickly.

Justin decided to play dumb for a while and said, "Who? The only bad thing I met there was a Digimon called Dragomon.".

This was part true, as Justin did see the Dark Ocean King twice now.

"Daemon, he's a Demon Lord too!", Ken said.

Justin made sure his eyes were narrowed to slits.

"Uh, who's Dragomon?", Kari asked.

Justin looked at her and answered, "Well, when I got to the Dark Ocean, I saw weird Digimon called Scubamon saying that they were trying to free themselves from their corrupt leader, Dragomon. They said I was their king, I think they called me the King of Light. They also said that they awaited their queen, called the Queen of Light. Then there was this roar and then Dragomon appeared. He looked like a mutated Digimon, octopus head and body of tentacles. Then I heard someone shout an attack called 'Evil Inferno', and then this fire came and cooked the Scubamon alive and forced Dragomon back into the watery depths of the ocean. I turned and saw this figure in the distance, but he was too far away for me to describe.", Justin said.

He then looked to Rika and said, "And look, I'm sorry about what I said. None of you guys know what the Dark Ocean is like. I felt cold, and I would have been dead if it wasn't for that figure in the distance. I felt like the light has been extinguished and that their was no-".

"That their was no hope at all, I know.", Kari said.

Justin was shocked and turned to look at Kari.

"How do you know that?", Justin asked.

"I know because I've been there twice.", Kari answered.

Justin realised that she was scared and he placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry Kari, hopefully no one will be seeing that place again.", Justin said.

Kari looked up at him and she could see the determination and sincere look in Justin's eyes. She nodded and they all looked in the distance, not knowing what to expect for the future and dark times to come for them.

Will Justin turn his back on the DigiDisteneds and the Tamers? And will anyone find out what he did for Daemon? You will have to find out on the next chapter of Digimon Digital Monsters

Looking out a dirty old window, down below the cars in the city go rushing by.

I sit here alone and I wonder why

Friday night and everyone's moving, I can feel the heat but it's moving, heading down.

I search for the beat in this dirty town

Downtown the young ones are going

Downtown the young ones are growing

We're the kids in America, oho

Everybody live for the music-go-around

Bright lights, the music gets faster. Look boy, don't check on your watch not another glance.

I'm not leaving, honey not a chance

Outside a new day is dawning. Outside Suburbia's sprawling everywhere.

I don't want to go baby

New York to East California

There's a new wave coming, I warn you

We're the kids in America, oho

Everybody live for the music-go-around

Ohhhhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhhh. Let's go!

Ohhhhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhhh. Yeah!

We're the kids

We're the kids in America

We're the kids

We're the kids in America

Me: Well, there's the fourteenth chapter of my story, another fourteen more to go.

Kari: And I can't believe that Justin freed Daemon.

Ken: Yeah, so how can we trust him?

Justin: Hey! It's not my fault that Crest Power Combining did that, you should blame him. He's the author, not me!

Davis: Yeah, he's got a point there.

Me: *Swallows nervously* Uh, wait! I can explain!

Davis: Yeah, you can explain after we beat the crud out of you! GET HIM!

Me: YIKES!

Justin: If Crest Power Combining survives our wrath, tell him were he went wrong; hopefully you can persuade him to make some weirdo to release Daemon.

Me: Somebody, please help me!

Everyone: And remember to R&R!

Me: DON'T LEAVE ME! PLEASE!
