Warning to all readers, the flashback scene in this story has lots of gore.

Chapter 4:

In a coliseum, the Digidestind were breaking out digimons that were captured by the Digimon Emperor.

Agumon fires a fireball at one of the cages, which easily destroys the metal bars.

Daisuke punches the remaining bars away to make a hole big enough for the captured digimons escape.

Many golem-like digimons runs out of their cages and together with the Digidestind, they all run out of the coliseum before any guards could stop them.

Once at a safe distance, everyone stopped to catch their breaths.

"Man, that was easy" Tai mused as he stands up properly.

"Yeah but something feels wrong about this. It's like the Digimon Emperor wanted us to free these guys" TK said with worry on his face.

"I have to agree with you TK, it not like him to let his own slaves get taken that easily" Daisuke agreed with her hand on her chin.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement and left to the nearest Digi-Port with the golems, Gotsumon.

"Ah!" Yolie exclaimed as the group and the Gotsumons come out of the computer and into the lab.

"Are you crazy, bringing the Gotsumon back from the Digital World?!" Izzy yelled in shock.

"Well we couldn't leave them in the Digital World, where the Digimon Emperor could capture them again" Tai reasoned.

"But how are we going to explain it if Mr. Fujiyama comes in here?" Yolie questioned.

"Don't worry. I'll tell him that I'm taking a sculpting class and these are my early masterpieces" Cody said and on cue, the Gotsumons started posing in all kinds of poses.

"Early rejects might be a better phrase" Yolie said in disgusts.

"Well, while you guys are going to find out where to hide these guys, I'm going home to get some rest" Daisuke said as she walks out the computer lab door.

"Wait, you're leaving us to handle the Gotsumons?" Tai gasps in shock.

"Of course. I'm not a part of your team yet and it was your idea to free the Gotsumons from the Digimon Emperor's control in the first place" the younger brunet smirked before disappearing from view.

The Digidestind groaned in frustration as they brainstorm for ideas on where to put the Gotsumons.

At building somewhere in Odaiba, TK was with an older blond teenager with azure eyes wearing a green jacket over a white shirt and matching pair of green pants.

"Sorry TK but just because I have a rock band doesn't mean I can hide a band of rocks that are digimons" the older blond said sadly to the other.

"Come on Matt, they can be your backup singers" TK pleaded.

"They sound too gravely" the older boy, Matt, said before Jun, who was wearing a white sweater and grey shorts walks up to the siblings while carrying a poster with a band called the Teenage Wolves on it in one hand and a marker in the other.

"Matt, can I have your autograph?" Jun asks with a smile.

"Sure" Matt said as he takes the marker and uncaps it.

"Sign it to Jun Motomiya" she requested, which made TK look at her in shock.

"Wait, do you happen to be related to Daisuke?" the younger blond asks.

"Yes I am. I'm her older sister" Jun informed but this did not make the boy any less shocked.

"You're her older sister? I would have thought that she was the older sibling".

If you compared the Motomiya siblings side-by-side, you would really think that Daisuke was the older sister as the duo was about the same height wise but with the younger always having a serious look on her face that made her look more mature.

"A lot of people think the exact same thing about us. Anyway, are you one of Dais' friends?" the brunet asks curiously.

"Something like that. My name's TK and I'm Matt's brother".

"TK huh?" Jun said with her hand on her chin with thoughtful look on her face. "Oh yeah, I remember now! You're one of Dais' friends that go to the Digital World with her, right?" she asks, shocking both blonds.

"You know about the Digital World?" TK gasps in shock.

"Of course, Dais will never lie to her own family and tells us a lot of stuff that you'd think a girl like her would keep a secret. But don't worry, Dais only told me about her going to the Digital World and working with you guys" the brunet reassure but just then a beeping sound came and Matt pulls out a small device from his pocket.

"There's something wrong going on in the Digital World" the older blond mumbled as he reads the message.

"Hey, I got an email from Yolie. She says that we need to get back to school right away" TK said before the blonds run out of the building leaving Jun by herself.

'Must be something big. Better tell Dais about it' Jun thought as she takes out her cellphone and calls her younger sister.

(At Odaiba Elementary)

Yolie was busy typing on the computer trying to pinpoint the location of the signal while TK, Matt, Kari, Cody and their digimons were waiting with anticipation.

Suddenly, the computer lab door slides open and Daisuke walks inside with her usual serious look on her face and her book in her hand.

"What's going on in the Digital World?" the brunet asks while closing the door behind her.

"We don't know yet. We're waiting for Yolie to find the source of the emergency signal" TK informed her.

"And it'll be easier for me to find it without you guys breathing down my neck" Yolie said.

After a while of more waiting, Yolie had finally pinpointed the location of where the signal came from and everyone except Yolie and a small brown ball of fur with a feather on top of his head got sucked into the computer.

When the light had faded, the group was standing near a riverbank with an injured yellow wolf-like creature with a yellow horn wearing a blue fur pelt over his body.

"Gabumon!" Matt exclaimed in worry as he kneels down in front of the digimon. "What happened to you?" he asks while holding his partner in his arms.

"Let's just say I would look at steamed vegetables the same way again" the wolf, Gabumon, groaned in pain.

"Tell me everything that happened".

"I like that, we don't talk anymore".

While the two newly reunited partners catch up, the rest of the group stood at the sidelines with a smile on their faces except for Daisuke, who still looked deadly serious.

"Hey guys!" called out a voice behind everyone and they turn around to see Yolie on the screen. "I'm going to Izzy's house to get my digivice back from him" she said before getting up and leaving the computer lab.

"Don't worry about the Digi-Port, Poromon will stay here and make sure it's safe" the ball, Poromon, said excitedly as he flies around in circles before the screen went blank.

"I wonder why people call those thing bunny ears and not cat ears? I mean, when was the last time you saw a bunny sit on a TV?" Gatomon suddenly asks.

"Is this what you think up in your free time?" Kari asks with a confused look on her face.

Later, the group leaves the riverbank and arrives at the outskirts of forest that overlooks a town that was built on the side of a mountain.

"This is the place I was telling you Matt" Gabumon said pointing at the town. "This place was once a peaceful place until the Digimon Emperor built that Control Spire and started enslaving everyone" he added sadly.

"There's a lot of guards in that place and we also have to be careful of the digi-sludge" Patamon informed as he flies down from the tree branch he was sitting on.

"I say we divide into groups and strike at the Digimon Emperor's defenses at different sides" Daisuke suggested with an emotionless look in her eyes.

"Whoa, hold up. You can't just go in; we need to come up with a plan" Matt said.

"Yeah, the Digimon Emperor might have captured digimons that he might use as hostages" TK reasoned.

"Fine, tell us what brilliant plan you've came up with" Daisuke said sarcastically as the group walks out of the forest outskirts and towards the city.

They searched at the outskirts of the city and found a few black plastic rings, which the digimons put on making them look like enslaved digimons.

They then found a long rope and tied it around all the humans and Gabumon to look like they were capture.

Once disguised, the group walks to the city gates and after a little bit of convincing words, they were now inside the city walls.

"Well that was easy" TK mused as they stopped to take a rest.

"Yeah, they didn't even notice that these were plastic" Patamon agreed.

"Those guys were just small fries. The top is where the pick of the litter are" Gatomon pointed out and everyone nodded in agreement before continuing onwards to the prison.

At the prison, a bunch of yellow vegetables threw everyone except the disguised digimons into a prison cell that had a group grey dog like creatures.

"Hey, thanks for bringing them in. We'd do it ourselves but you guys beat us to the punch" one of the prison guards, Vegiemon, said before the Digidestind's digimons take off their fake black rings.

"Speaking of punches, Lightning Paw!" Gatomon exclaimed as she tackles one of the Vegiemons.

Patamon and Armadillomon also helped take down the remaining guards while Daisuke takes out a talisman from her jacket and slaps it onto the prison cell bars, which suddenly turned into dust in front of everyone.

The Digidestind, their digimons and the captured digimons, Gazimons, quickly escape the prison and into the city streets, heading towards the city gate at the bottom but their way was blocked by a group of Vegiemons.

"Can't go this way, too many Vegiemons" Daisuke informed the group.

"Then we have go up instead" Matt stated before everyone turned around and started climbing up the mountain.

The large group was now climbing up the last few meters until they reach the top of the mountain that happened to also be the location of the Control Spire.

The walk up was relatively quiet until TK turns to Daisuke, who was behind him and said "Hey Dais, I met your sister earlier. I can't believe that she's your older sister".

"Well she doesn't act the part of an older sister. She's so immature and childish, it's annoying sometimes" Daisuke said in a cold non-chantingly way that got on Matt's nerves.

"Hey, what's your problem with your sister huh? So what if she doesn't takes things serious sometimes? You don't have to go and talk bad things about her!" Matt yelled, getting up at the brunet's face.

"You don't know anything about my life, so fuck off" Daisuke huffed as she gave the older blond the finger.

Matt was about to tackle the brunet to the ground but he was barely being hold back by his younger brother.

"Matt, please don't fight! You honestly wouldn't hit a girl now would you" TK reasoned but knowing his brother's temper, he dragged the older blond as far away from the brunet as possible.

After a while, the group finally reached the top of the mountain and was looking down a cliff side trying to figure out how to get down.

"I'll go find a rope for us to use to climb down from here" Gabumon said as he turns around to find the rope but was stopped by the Gazimons.

"You don't need to find a rope. We'll hold onto each other and form a rope for you guys. It's the least we could do for you saving us" one of the Gazimon said.

The Gazimons work to try and form a long rope but before they could even get into position, they were bombarded by pink sludge.

The group turns towards the source of the attack and saw the Vegiemons being led by what looks like a red Vegiemon with spiked maces at the end of his vines.

"You're not going anywhere!" RedVegiemon exclaimed menacingly.

"Get out of our way you walking salad bar!" Daisuke exclaimed after her hands glowed a faint white light.

Daisuke and RedVegiemon matched each other, blow for blow with both of them narrowly dodging the other's punches while trying to land a hit themselves.

RedVegiemon tried to gain the upper hand by firing a barrage of red chilies peppers at Daisuke but she blocked them by summoning a shield.

"Dais' in trouble, let's help her" TK said but before anyone could do anything, the Vegiemons tackled and subdued all of them, making them unable to fight.

Daisuke heard everyone's screams as they were being attack and lost her focus for a while, giving an opening to RedVegiemon.

RedVegiemon punch the brunet hard in the gut and making her stumble back from the pain.

He continued to punch Daisuke senselessly at the face and torso while the Digidestinds could only watch at the sidelines.

"Stop it! She had enough!" Kari pleaded as Daisuke took another punch to the face.

"Dais won't be able to hold out if this keeps up" Matt said solemnly, watching as Daisuke barely stood up on her two feet but what they heard next really shocked them.

An animalistic growl escaped Daisuke's lips as she glares at RedVegiemon through her bangs.

RedVegiemon was shivering from the intensity of the brunet's glare as he saw her eyes turned from dark brown to the darkest shade of crimson and her teeth started to grow into fangs.

Out of nowhere, Daisuke roared but her voice did not sound that of a human, instead it sounded demonic and it scared everyone there to the point the Vegiemons let go of their hostages.

Suddenly, the ground shatters and cracks for no apparent reason and the air was slowly becoming freezing cold.

And then, the Control Spire also starts to feel the effects of the mysterious power that was destroying the area as it too began to crack and shatter into a pile of rubble.

Then as quickly and mysteriously as it started, the ground stopped being cracked into pieces and the air returned to its normal temperature.

It was at that moment, Tai, Izzy, Yolie, their digimons and the Gotsumons were running towards the group.

"Guys, what the hell happened? We saw that Control Spire got destroyed on our way here" Tai asks once they arrive at the remains of the once towering spire.

"We don't really know about ourselves. One moment Dais was being beaten up by RedVegiemon, the next the entire place was being destroyed for no reason" TK explained as everyone turns to the brunet in question but she was holding her stomach and looked like she was in a lot of pain.

Suddenly, Daisuke fell onto her knees and started vomiting her own blood, shocking the group.

"Dais!" the Digidestind exclaimed as they run to the brunet side but she refused their help.

"I don't need your help" Daisuke said coldly after coughing out the remaining blood.

She stumbles back to her feet and walks away from the group, who were looking at her with worry on their faces.

'Stupid! So fucking stupid! I can't believe I lost control of my powers again! I'm such a fucking idiot!' Daisuke cursed mentally as she remembers one of the few times she lost control of her powers.

(Flashback Begins)

Ryoki and a young Daisuke were walking down the street after the older brunet had picked up the young girl from school.

But their casual walk was interrupted when a grown man and two teenage boys came out an alley and grabbed the happy duo.

The oldest of the three, a green haired man wearing a dark blue T-shirt and a pair of jeans slams Ryoki against the alley wall while holding him by the collar of his shirt.

"Gives us your money!" he ordered but Ryoki refused to comply, making him punch the brunet on the face.

Ryoki continued to refuse the muggers demands making them punch and kick him senseless while Daisuke, who was being hold down by a boy with spiked orange hair wearing a leather jacket over a black T-shirt and a pair of jeans that were torn at the knees.

"Please let him go!" Daisuke pleaded with tears in her eyes as she tries to get out of her capture's grip.

But they did not stop with the beatings and it made the girl become angry to the point her eyes and teeth had transformed.

"Get away from him!" Daisuke growled and suddenly, the arm of the mugger that was holding her started to mysteriously bleed as loud cracking sounds come from it.

The two remaining muggers stopped beating Ryoki when the heard their friend's scream of pain but before they could even turned to see what happened, the green haired man's left leg exploded into bits of meat and bone.

The last mugger, a blond boy wearing a dark green V-neck and a pair of jeans, jumps back in shock before his right arm suffered the same fate as the first mugger.

The red head mugger, who was the closest to the exit of the alley tried to run for his life but did not get far before his feet were rendered into nothing and then he was dragged deeper into the alley by a mysterious force.

He was slammed hard against the wall before being pulled away only to get slammed harder until almost all his bones were broken.

The blond mugger also tried his luck at escaping the carnage but just like his friend, he did not make much ground before a thrown away pipe pierced his leg and pinned him against a wall.

He tried to get his leg out of the pipe but was failing miserably as his leg would not budge.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of metal rumbling and hesitantly turns his head towards the source, which was a dumpster that was across from him shaking very suspiciously.

The dumpster's lid shot open and the dumpster slides from one side of the alley to the other with incredible speeds that it crushed all the bones in the man's lower body.

The blond leans forward from the force and then the lid slams down on him, splattering blood all over the wall.

The green haired man, who was still on the ground screaming in pain and terror from losing his leg suddenly stopped screaming as his body started to vibrate uncontrollably.

Soon the vibrating became violent shakes and blood was coming out of his eyes, ears and mouth before his whole body exploded into a mess of blood and body parts.

Ryoki, who had shaken off the daze from all the beatings he had gotten, trudge his way to Daisuke and grabs her shoulders before giving her a hard shake.

This seemed to snap the young brunet out of her rage as her eyes and teeth return to normal but then for no reason, she started vomiting blood.

"Dais!" Ryoki exclaimed in worry.

"R-Ryoki, what's wrong with me? E-Everything h-hurts" Dais whimpered before vomiting more blood onto the alley floor.

"I don't know Dais, I don't know" the older brunet whispered solemnly as he hugs the little girl.

(Flashback Ends)

Daisuke was so caught up in her flashback until she did not notice TK walking up to her.

"Dais" the blond began, making the brunet turn around to face him. "You still got some blood on your mouth. Here, use this to wipe it off" he said as he takes out a handkerchief from his pocket and gives it to her.

"Thanks TK" Daisuke said sincerely before wiping her mouth, which truly had blood on them.

"So Dais, you mind telling me what that was all about?" TK asks curiously.

"Sorry TK but I can't. It's kind of personal and I think it'd be better if I tell you guys when I actually join your team" she said as she gives back the handkerchief. "What happened to Kari, Tai and the Gotsumons?" she asks, just noticing that the Kamiya siblings were no longer at the cliff.

"They left to send the Gotsumons home. Come on, we better get going home ourselves" TK said and the duo left the cliff to the nearest Digi-Port.

(In the computer lab)

The Digidestind had returned back to the Real World and were waiting because Izzy said he had found something that they need to hear.

"I'm glad that the Gotsumons are finally gone. They kept scratching my CD's when they touch 'em" Yolie said.

"And they clogged the sink whenever they brush their teeth" Cody added.

"Okay, this is what I got from Yolie digivice" Izzy said, showing everyone a map of the Digital World. "See this white square here? It used to be black until the Control Spire got magically destroyed" he said pointing a white square surrounded by black squares.

"So if we destroy all those Control Spires, then we can defeat the Digimon Emperor" Matt concluded.

"Yeah but the problem is, there's a lot of Control Spires in the Digital World" Izzy pointed out solemnly.

"Then we'll just smash every Control Spire we come across" Daisuke said with cold determination.

"Hey Dais, I've been wondering about that weird anomaly that destroyed the Control Spire. Was it true that it originated from you?" the red head asks with curiosity clear in his eyes.

"Yes, but I won't tell you why or how yet. Maybe if I ever decide to become a part of your team, I'll tell you" the brunet said before leaving the computer lab.
