"The Earthquake of MetalGreymon"

Here is the next chapter. Hope you guys all like it and I've decided on what Daisuke's Crest will be. Thanks to everyone for giving your suggestions. Please enjoy and review.

Izzy was in the tunnel working on a way to get back to the pyramid and save Sora and Biyomon from that evil Datamon.

Tai was still depressed about being too afraid to go after them through the firewall.

"We don't have a clue where to start looking for them." Joe said as we sat around the fire that night.

"Besides, we could all wind up dead or worse."

"What if Datamon does something to harm Sora while we sit here on our butts?" Tai asked while the rest of us ate, me being happy to finally get something to fill my empty stomach.

"Look, Tai, he's already beaten our brains out once. What makes you think he won't do it again?" Matt asked.

"We need to come up with a plan before we go anywhere." The blonde said.

"This is more depressing than a soap opera." Mimi said.

"We better get some sleep. I'll stay next to you guys in case you get scared." TK said to the digimon.

"Yeah." Palmon said.

"Thanks." Gabumon said.

"Good night guys." TK said as the digimon, he and I all cuddled up and soon fell asleep.

"Let's go get Sora!" Tai cheered making me groan and pick up the nearest stone that was by me and threw it in the direction his voice was coming from.

"Ow! Daisuke!" he yelled.

"Some of us are actually trying to sleep here." I said getting up and rubbing at my eyes.

"We found out where Datamon is keeping Sora." Matt said.

"And we're going there to get her tomorrow." TK said bouncing over to me.

"Hey, that's awesome. You know I love Sora an' all, but I' really tired so do me a favour and…GO TO SLEEP!" I yelled before I got back down on the ground to sleep.

Everyone was quiet before they got back down to the ground and started to fall asleep.

"Told ya she was bipolar." I heard Matt whisper.

"SHUT IT!" I yelled hearing him quietly yelp.

Morning came and it was time to go out and save our kidnapped friends after a nice night of rest after I forced everyone to sleep.

Of course, I did have small nightmare of Sora being chained down to a table.

Weird.

Sadly, the pyramid was covered by Tyranomon and Monochromon guarding the place.

"With so many of the digimon guarding the pyramid like this there is just no way we can get in there without somebody seeing us." Izzy said as he showed the map with red dots all over the pyramid.

"And that's exactly why we're going to be acting as decoys." Matt said.

"Right." Tentomon said.

"Now Tai, when the enemy starts chasing after us, you, Agumon, V-Mon and Daisuke have got to get inside the pyramid quickly without being seen by anyone. Got it?" Joe asked.

"Mm-hmm. You do have directions for us, don't you?" Tai asked placing a hand on Izzy's shoulder.

"Yeah, just one more thing." Izzy said.

"How come I wanna throw up every time you say 'one more thing'?" Tai asked.

"OK now, to enter the secret room, you have to take a hidden passage, but there's another electrified wall to get pass. Just like the room Datamon was in." the red head said.

My brother seemed to get worried as he gasped loudly at that news, and I was just as worried.

"Do you think you can make it, Tai?" Agumon asked.

"I don't care what the wall is. I'm going through." Tai said confidently.

With that said, we all went off to do our jobs for the rescue mission.

"Now, try not to do anything stupid. Stay out of unnecessary trouble, Tai. Remember, the important thing is saving Sora." Joe said.

"Right." Tai said.

"And you guys try not to do anything stupid either, Matt." The child of Knowledge said.

"Remember, if you run into Etemon, just turn around and run the other way." Izzy said.

"You got that, TK?" the blonde asked his younger brother.

"Yeah." TK said.

"Whoever doesn't come back alive will be in big trouble. Got it?" Mimi asked with a thumbs up and smile.

"If this plan works, then everybody has to get their part exactly right." Tai said as we set off.

"They're coming out of the pyramid." Gomamon said.

"Take cover, everyone. Battle positions." Tai said as we all hid behind sand dunes and such.

Tai, Mimi, TK, me and our partners were all hiding together as the child of Sincerity threw a cloak over us.

"Thanks, Mimi." My brother said.

"You're welcome." She said.

"Get down." My brother whispered.

We watched as Ikkakumon used his Harpoon Torpedo getting everyone's attention, bombing the pyramid and making the Gazimon run out.

Ikkakumon and Joe started running back to the sphinx as the Gazimon, Tyranomon and Monochromon chased after them, but then Garurumon came out with Matt on his back, blasting at them with his Howling Blaster.

Izzy and Tentomon came to hide with us as Etemon came out of the pyramid not happy with the mess our friends were making and got into his trailer to go deal with them.

"I hope Joe and Matt make it OK." Tai said.

"Come on Izzy, Dai, let's move out." Tai said as we stood up.

"Roger." Izzy nodded.

"He forgot his name." Mimi said making me smirk.

Wow.

"Let's go already." I said as we started running to the entrance.

"We'll be back!" Tai called to Mimi and TK.

"When you get to the wall, just keep running." Izzy said and we did as he said, going through the weak point like last time.

We ran down a staircase, down a tunnel but were stopped by the passage being blocked by rubble.

"The passage is blocked." Tai said.

"It's a dead end." Agumon said.

"Not necisarily. Why don't we try that door over there?" Izzy said pointing out another weak point to use.

"it's clear, let's go!" Tai said as we started running again.

As we kepy going, I got a very bad idea so I stopped, making the others do the same.

"What's wrong, Dai?" Tai asked.

"I…I think V-on and I should go help the others." I said making them look at me in surprise while my dragon nodded.

"Why though?" Izzy asked.

"The others need it. Go help Sora and biyomon. I'll be fine." I said with a smile.

Tai looked like he didn't want to go, but smiled and brushed my bangs out of my face.

"Go for it." he said before we separated.

"So how do we get out of here?" V-Mon asked as we stopped.

"We go up." I said pointing my finger upwards.

He looked up and smiled before he nodded and my digivice glowed.

"V-Mon digivolve too…XV-MON!"

My large dragon picked me up, cradling me in his hands carefully as he flew up, blasting the roof off and flew over the desert looking for the others.

We got there just in time to see Etemon pulling his mike out ready to play another song.

XV-Mon set me down on his shoulders before he curled his body up and then extended it, sending out his V Laser that hit the monkey dead on.

"Hey, who's crashing my concert?" Etemon asked looking up.

"Sorry, but you've been canceled." I said.

"Seriously, you're terrible." XV-Mon said as he sent another V Laser ta the monkey making him doge it as the others quickly made a getaway and we followed after when a Gazimon called him.

XV-Mon flew over to where the others were hiding under the cloak with TK.

"Daisuke, what are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be with Tai." Matt said.

"They can do it themselves. I felt like we had to come back and help." I said sliding down off of XV-Mon's shoulder, down his back and off his tail.

"As long as they're safe in there." Mimi said.

We all looked over to the pyramid, me gripping onto my Tag as I prayed for my brother and friends to be safe.

I hope for some miracle to happen so that they will get out soon and beat that freaky monkey once and for all.

We all started running to the pyramid to see if they found her yet when some more explosions went off inside.

"We're over here!" Sora called as Birdramon, Kabuterimon and Greymon broke through the wall with their partners.

"There you are!" TK yelled.

"We're coming, we're coming, we're coming!" Mimi called.

"Sora, you're OK!" I yelled hugging her around the waist.

She laughed and hugged me back.

All of a sudden, a gale pulled the evil digimon back into the pyramid, each disappearing.

We all got on XV-Mon, Greymon, Kabuterimon and Birdramon, ditching the place before we were swept in.

"What happened back there?" joe asked.

"I suspect the computer blew." Izzy said as the two boys and Gomamon sat on the bug digimon.

As soon as we were far enough away, we stopped and got down as these black lights outlined in green shot out of the pyramid.

"Look at the pyramid." Sora said.

"It's disintegrating." Tai said.

It crumbled completely, but then Etemon came up from the ruins with this weird black ball made of cables floated up laughing like a maniac.

Oh, we dead.

And that is the ugliest thing I have ever seen so far.

"All right, let me see a show of hands. How many of you actually missed me?" Etemon asked.

No one ya freak.

Can't you see us all looking very freaked out by you making a comeback?

Why won't the bad guys just go down the first time?

"What's with this guy?" Tai asked.

"That is gross." XV-Mon said.

"I told you I'd come back to take my revenge on you. You didn't believe me did ya?" the monkey asked as the sand started to rise up.

Birdramon and Kabuterimon used their attacks first on the mutated digimon, but their attacks were absorbed.

"Hey, that was pretty good. I give it a 9.6. Now then, you ready for a fast ball?" Etemon asked as he threw a green orb at the two, thankfully missing, but it went near the small mountains and started the area around there swirl like it was going to disappear or something.

"That one's headed straight for the sphinx!" Joe gasped as another orb went over there and the same thing happened.

"The sphinx melted!" Mimi cried.

"Melted doesn't even describe it." Izzy said.

"We've tried everything. Nothing can stop him. I guess it's the end." Sora said.

"I was hoping to skip algebra class, but not like this." Joe said.

I looked up at my brother and was surprised to see that his Crest was now glowing orange as he had a very well-known determined look on his face.

"No. I'm not ready to surrender to Etemon just yet." He said.

"Coming, Greymon?" he asked his partner looking back at him and then he ran off to go face him.

"I'm right behind ya!" Greymon said as he followed him.

"What have we got here, sports fans? A new batter stepping to the plate." Etemon sneered.

"I'm not afraid of you, you big blow hard. Come down here and fight me like a mon!" Tai called as he lifted his Tag and Crest into the air.

"Tai, what are you doing? You don't stand a chance." Mimi cried.

"Hey, you are brave. I like that." The monkey said as he tossed another orb at the duo of Courage.

The orb hit Greymon, knocking him down.

"Don't worry Greymon, I'm staying with you." Tai said as his Crest glowed brighter, his digivice also turned orange.

"Tai, your Courage is giving me even greater strength. I can digivolve!" Greymon said.

I almost started jumping up and down in my giddiness as the dino was covered in orange and started digivolving into his Ultimate form.

"Greymon digivolve too…METALGREYMON!"

MetalGreymon had a metal helmet with red hair showing out of it, metal chest plate, blade like wings, a metal arm and his red eyes were now blue.

"Lookie here. A fully evolved digimon. Well, I can handle him too, just watch me kids." Etemon taunted.

"MetalGreymon?" Joe asked.

"It was the power from the Crest." Matt said.

"MetalGreymon uses his own body as a weapon during battle. His most lethal instrument is the Giga Destroyer." Tentomon said.

"Etemon is everybody's enemy. Use the power of the Crest!" Tai yelled.

"I'll be right with ya. Is there no end to your stupidity? I can put an end to it for ya." Etemon said as he tossed another orb, but MetalGreymon used his metal claws to tear through it.

"But it was just a joke!" the monkey said as the Ultimate charged over to him.

"Finish him now while we have the power!" Tai called.

"No, back off, baby!" Etemon yelled as MetalGreymon charged into the black cable ball, sending the monkey off a few feet.

"OW! What's the matter with you? Don't cha know the rules? There's no head butting allowed." Etemon said.

Metalgreymon was covered in a gold light as we all dived to the ground as the wind picked up.

"He's glowing. I wish my hair could do that." Mimi said.

"It's the Crest's power." TK said as XV-Mon towered over us to protect us from the wind.

"Oh no! Don't destroy me! I've got too much talent!" Etemon said.

Me and my dragon exchanged a look at that as we thought about the music he was famous for.

"Do it!" we cheered MetalGreymon on.

His chest plate opened up and these two rockets blasted out and hit the cables causing a great big explosion, destroying Etemon for and for all as we all took cover from the blasts.

There was a tear in the sky and as Etemon disappeared, Tai and MetalGreymon were both pulled in too.

The tear stopped and turned back to normal, making us all stand up and stare at the sky, fear consuming me so badly I thought I was going to be sick.

"Tai!" Matt, Sora, Mimi and Joe cried.

"What happened to them?" TK asked.

"Come back!" Sora yelled.

"TAAAAAAIIIIIII!" I yelled.

Oh, what happened to them?

Where are they?

Please, don't leave me here.

Where are you?

I need you Tai.

I cried, XV-Mon coming over and picking me up, holding me to his chest as I sobbed my heart out.
