The Digidestined and their partners ran or flew through the hole, and into the other world MaloMyotismon had escaped to. The world they came to was rocky and stony, and huge cliffs surrounded them from both right and left side. The ground beneath their feet was narrowed between the cliffs, and it was made of harden sand. But what was really strange was the darkness that held everything in a tight grip. The sky, the clouds, the cliffs, the sand, everything were pitch black, and it creeped the Digidestined out. What the hell was this world? Was this the Dark Ocean? Well, they couldn't see any ocean so it couldn't be, but it might have been. The darkness was dominant here, and it disturbed the Digidestined out with its colourless existence, its cold fingers causing the creeps to run through their spines.
"Where're we?" Miyako asked fearfully. She didn't know where she was, but she didn't like it here. The darkness frightened her out, and made her feel like a young child lost in a dark forest, hunted by bloodthristy predators just waiting for her in the darkest corners.
"I...I think we're in the Digital World", Iori answered. It might be weird, but he got this feeling that told him that they'd arrived to the Digital World, which had gone through some massive transformation while they fought in their own world.
"What do you mean we're in the Digital World?" Miyako asked Iori. How the hell could they be in the Digital World, with all this darkness around? Darkness that she felt, despite how weird it might be, wasn't a force ruled by the laws of physics, but something alive that bore its invisible eyes at them in this moment.
"I don't know how, but something tells me that we're in the Digital World right now", Iori answered Miyako.
The others were taken aback by Iori's answer before they turned their eyes to the world in front of them. So this was the Digital World, and the darkness had made a number on it. It was breathtaking seeing the once beautiful world twisted into something perverted and disgusting version of its former self. The Digidestined couldn't find any word to describe what they felt right now of seeing the bleeding wounds of the Digital World.
Takeru turned his head around to their partners, and he saw that the digimon were now less than they were in that strange world they just left. While most of the digievolved forms of their partners were gone, he saw that at least Shakkoumon, Silphymon, MagnaAngemon and Angewomon were still with them. Takeru was surprised when he saw MagnaAngemon and Angewomon with the others, and the question why became another question of the already overfilled basket of questions. This day had been strange, even more than usual.
"Hey look. All the other digimon have disappeared", Takeru said to the other Digidestined, who then turned their heads toward their partners. When they saw them, they became somewhat dishearted by how few of the digimon were left. When they ran toward the hole in that weird dimension, they'd an army of digimon that was powerful enough to force MaloMyotismon to retreat, but now only with a few of them left, their chances to victory seemed to be once again slim.
"Well, at least things are somewhat normal", Iori said dishearted.
"They would've been more normal if Ken and Daisuke were here", Hikari said in a low tone. She still was hurt by the tragedy that happened inside that dimension the battle began at, and she was trying to keep herself from breaking down as the reminder of what happened twisted its ugly claws inside her head.
Aware that his best friend, and likely everyone else, would soon fall into a depression, Takeru quickly asked his digimon partner, MagnaAngemon, one of the main questions he'd in his head.
"MagnaAngemon, how come you and the rest of you digievolved to all those forms? Shouldn't it be impossible for you to do that?" he asked, not neccesary because he wanted to know the answer right now, but mostly because he wanted to keep himself and his friends from remembering Ken's brutal death. The last thing they needed in this fight was that memory playing all over inside their heads.
"I don't know. I was also surprised when that happened. I think that maybe that dimension had a role in it; that world obviously has some strange powers, and I think that you used those powers to make us digievolve to all our forms the same way Myotismon used them to digievolve to MaloMyotismon, and Daisuke used them to make Veemon digievolve to his armor forms alongside ExVeemon", MagnaAngemon answered Takeru...though through his strong bond with Takeru, he could tell that Takeru didn't ask that question because he really wanted to know the answer, but because he wanted to keep his mind away from that aweful murder that butcher had committed.
"Don't forget that Daisuke also used those powers to hurt MaloMyotismon with his bare hands", Angewomon reminded MagnaAngemon and the Digidestined. However, her reminder also reminded her on how afraid she was as Gatomon when she saw Daisuke do the said act, and she could feel that old fear returning to her. A chill went through her back as she remembered that unpleasent event.
"Well things ain't gonna be that easy now that we're in the Digital World", Takeru thought to himself.
Suddenly, a loud laughter cut through the dark landscape, and the Digidestined and their partners quickly had their eyes and ears searching everywhere for anything that might come.
"Children!" a loud voice said behind the right cliff at the narrow path. Then MaloMyotismon himself came around the corner, calmingly walking as if he'd all the time in the world(s) without any care of the enemies that stood before him. Then he stopped and faced the Digidestined and their partners, and none of them missed the elated smirk that was plastered on his face.
"Welcome children..." MaloMyotismon said as he spread his arms outward to his sides, doing a melodramatic pose like a Christian pastor doing his sermon, as if he wanted to show off the darkness that surrounded them.
"...to the future of all that exist!" he finished while he also looked around at the dark sky as if he wanted to make his point clear.
"Haha the darkness has already spread and it's only a matter of time before it'll consume the entire Digital World and all those who will refuse to submit to it"
"Not if we can stop you!" Takeru shouted defiantly to MaloMyotismon, who just chuckled at the blond boy's defiant cry.
"Fool! Don't you understand?! The time of darkness has begun, and all those who stands in its way will be crushed by its might! Anyone who tried to defeat the darkness had either been destroyed by it, or consumed by it! You children are no different, and just because you hide behind those weak, slavish pets of yours, you think you can defy the inevitable?!" MaloMyotismon said to Takeru, not at all impressed by that blond brat's pathetic play-the-hero act.
"Well we did beat you the last time you tried to spread the darkness, so why do you think you'll win this time?!" Takeru shouted back at that monster that disgusted him with its pride of being a slave to the darkness.
"You won only because of sheer luck that came in the last moment when your lives hung to the last thread! But I'm in a generous mood today so I'll give you a chance to prove you full strength! Show me that you're just as strong as your goggle-wearing friend...or as weak as my former pawn!" MaloMyotismon challenged and chuckled. Then he rose his arms up to the air and suddenly, dark energy from all sides was gathering around him, and he was becoming bigger by the powers of darkness. As his size was growing, he laughed loudly as he was simming in his arrogance and self-confidence that doubled by the darkness he was sucking in.
"Look, he's getting bigger!" Iori shouted in surprise, but no one had the time to say something back because suddenly, Hikari screamed. They all turned their heads toward her in worry, and they saw Hikari holding her head as if she was in pain. Her eyes were closed, her back hunched and she looked extremely terrified by something.
"Hikari, what's wrong?!" Angewomon shouted to Hikari, extremely worried for her partner as Hikari was reacting like if she was in pain.
"The darkness...I can feel it! It's comming!" Hikari answered, extremely terrified by what she felt...and what she heard. She could hear them from the depth of the darkness, and they called for her. They told her things she didn't want to hear, and showed her things she didn't want to see. They wanted her to give herself up to them. They demanded her to give herself up to them. They told her it was futile to resist, and she was panicking by everything she felt and heard from the darkness. She was about to break down by its overwhelming strength when suddenly, it disappeared. She opened her eyes, and she saw her friends looking at her with worry and fear.
"What...happened?" Hikari asked with a low sound in her voice. She seemingly forgot what she'd just been through.
"You started to scream and hunch down. You screamed something about the darkness and that it's comming", Takeru answered, happy that Hikari was well enough, but still disturbed by what he just saw from her.
Before Hikari could say anything, MaloMyotismon laughed even more loudly than before. As he was growing bigger by the powers of darkness, he saw everything that little tramp did, and it made him even more confident of his chances. If the Digidestined of Light reacted physically by the growing darkness, it meant that the darkness wasn't just powerful, but it was even more powerful than he thought it was, and that meant a quick victory for him.
After he grew high enough the darkness would allow, MaloMyotismon was at least twice as tall of his former size, even towering Shakkoumon. He looked even more of a demon than he already was, and he grinned his whole mouth full at the Digidestined and their partners, showing off all those sharp teeth that reminded the Digidestined of something out of a horror movie. The digimon felt some of that familiar dread returning to them as they stared at MaloMyotismon's full size, but they couldn't allow their fears stop them now.
"Come on, my friends! It's now or never!" MagnaAngemon encouraged his comrades, and they all charged at MaloMyotismon, ready to finally put this monster down for good.
MaloMyotismon grinned his sharp teeth at the charging forms of the human pets, not even one bit afraid of them.
"Watch and learn!" He said to them, and his shoulder-mouths opened up and inside them, dark bolts charged up for the upcomming attack.
"Screaming Darkness!" MaloMyotismon shouted, and those large, high-powered dark bolts shot out of his shoulder-mouths and flew toward his charging foes. When the blots hit the digimon, they shook massively by the strong force that hit them. Even MagnaAngemon and Angewomon, beings that were specially adapted to resist the powers of darkness, shook just as massively as Shakkoumon and Silphymon did. They shook so hard by the strong energy that came out of the bolts that it looked like they each had an epileptic seizure, but fortunately, MaloMyotismon's attack didn't last long enough to digidevolve them all, since after some few seconds, which though felt like hours, the bolts ran out of energy, and the digimon fell down to the ground, weakened but still alive and in their digievolved forms.
The Digidestined looked and gasped in shock of that in just one attack, MaloMyotismon took down their digimon partners without breaking a sweat. Hell, he didn't even move a foot aside, he just stood at the same place when he attacked.
MaloMyotismon himself felt the need to mock the Digidestined after when that pathetic charge of their pets failed.
"Oops, I think I broke your frieeends! It's a shame they won't be conscious to witness my most triumphant moment!" MaloMyotismon mocked the Digidestined before he rose his arms toward the sky.
"Behold my power!" MaloMyotismon shouted, and then large beams of dark energy shot out of his claw and toward the dark sky, seemingly concentrated at a designated target that hid in the sky.
When the dark beams hit the sky, the dark clouds were pushed away by their strong force, and a hole opened up on there the beams had hit. After the hole became large enough for the Digidestined to see through, they were completely taken by surprise by what they saw, and they just stared in awe at the thing that was behind the hole with their eyes wide-open and their mouths dropped to the ground. This was just so unbelievable, and yet it was happening in front of their own eyes.
The beams continued through the hole and hit their designated target. After they hit it, the beams slowly started to cover it in darkness.
"He...he opened a hole from the Digital World!" Iori said in a surprised tone.
"And it looks like it leads to the real world", Miyako said after Iori. Indeed it was the real world that the Digidestined saw behind the hole, and the dark beams were covering it in darkness.
"I knew it! It has been in his plan all along to get both worlds!" Takeru shouted after the revelation of MaloMyotismon's true goals.
"It amazes me how slow you children are! Did you really think that I'll be satified ruling only the Digital World?! No, one world isn't enough for me! I'll claim both worlds for myself, and I'll rule them as their king, and with the powers of darkness at my side, I'll rule supreme for all time! And there's nothing you brats can do about it!" MaloMyotismon said to the Digidestined while he still had his arms high up and continued to shoot the dark beams toward the real world.
"I can't believe it! We fought him three years ago, and he's still the same monster from before! Looks like he hasn't changed one bit!" a shocked Hikari said as she just couldn't believe that this monster was just as evil as he's always been.
"Well, he's gone more insane. That's for sure" Takeru said as he sneered at the monster.
"Come on, we must beat him! Billions of humans and digimon are counting on us, and we can't let them down now!" Miyako said to her fellow Digidestined as they were just watching that freak spreading the darkness to the real world without doing anything about it.
"But Miyako, how? Our partners are down, and we don't stand a chance against him by ourselves. And the darkness is spreading too quickly. We need a miracle to beat him now", Hikari said to Miyako.
"Maybe, but we must do at least something! We can't just stand here and watch him spreading the darkness!", Miyako said back to Hikari. Their chances might be slim right now, but they just couldn't let this monster win no matter what. They should at least try something to stop him from taking over the worlds. They should even try to throw rocks at him as long it'd slow him down just a bit.
"And what exactly will you do?!" a voice asked Miyako behind her back. She turned around, and she saw MaloMyotismon now looking down at her with an amused grin on his lips, showing off his large, sharp teeth, while continuing spreading his darkness.
"Please, tell me what exactly you'll do to stop me and the darkness from not claiming your world as our possession?! Please, enlighten me!" MaloMyotismon asked the long-haired, four-eyed bitch who amused him by thinking that they could actually defeat him right now.
Miyako was nearly petrified by that bloodthirsty gaze that beamed from MaloMyotismon's yellow eyes, and by all those sharp teeth that seemed to be too large for his mouth. All that evil inside that beast just radiated right down at her with all its intend to make her doubt her chances. To make her feel despair and dread, and it almost worked. Miyako's confidence and bravado almost disappeared the second she turned her eyes to that monster after he asked her how she'd defeat him when he was at his most powerful, and that earlier terror was returning to her system. Her nerves just locked down, and she couldn't even blink as she was so terrified by those cold, evil, soulless eyes that looked down at her from forthy-fifth feets above and pierced through her very own soul, clearly enjoying to see her petrified by fear.
After some few seconds that felt like an eternity, Miyako got some control of her nerves, and she tried to retort, but her fear made it difficult for her to find any words.
"We..." Miyako started with a meek, barely audiable tone. When she heard how weak her voice was, she became disgusted by herself for letting that freak get the best of her, so she stretched her back up and hardened her eyes as she looked with determination at MaloMyotismon, who still was waiting for her to answer him.
"We'll simply defeat you! That's what we'll do, and you'll lose to us so you might well beg for mercy right now!" Miyako shouted at MaloMyotismon as defiant and courageous as she could be.
MaloMyotismon laughed loudly after he heard Miyako's answer. They'd defeat him...by themselves? Not a chance. But those weaklings sure knew how to entertain him.
"Nothing but a toothless bark!" MaloMyotismon said after he laughed in amusement. He wasn't at all impressed by Miyako's threat, and he dismissed her as a weak brat that couldn't even sore him with its bite. He turned his head up to the sky, and he saw that the real word was nearly covered by the darkness. MaloMyotismon felt his excitement going wild inside his entire being as he saw victory coming closer and closer. It was only a matter of time, and everything would finally be his. He could already see himself sitting on a gigantic throne, surrounded by countless numbers of humans and digimon alike who all bowed down to him and praised him as their one and true lord and master. He could even see all the four Sovereigns bowing down to him, praising him as their true sovereign and swearing their everlasting loyalty to him, and him alone. Yes, he was so close to his goal. So close to everything he ever wanted, and everything he'd paid and sacrified for would be proven to not had been in vain. He might have suffered several setbacks, but they all would've been worth it when he finally become the king of both worlds. And if he did it well enough, he might even get some few other worlds to rule over as well.
While MaloMyotismon was daydreaming of his grand future while he was continuing to cover the real world in darkness, Takeru couldn't help but once again thinking that their chances were from slim to none. Miyako might have shouted defiantly at that psychotic freak, but it was as he said just a toothless bark. There was nothing they could do right now but watch as that monster was nearing the victory he so desired. Their partners were unconscious, and they were down two Digidestined so what could they do? Hikari was right; they couldn't do anything but hope for a miracle.
But wait...the D-Terminal! Yes, he'd still the D-Terminal with him, and with it, he could contact the other Digidestined and ask for their aid. Takeru quickly picked his D-Terminal from his pocket and opened the lid. When he saw the screen, he immediately typed his message, and wrote who their true enemy was, that they were fighting him in the Digital World, and that they immediately needed reinforcement. Once the message was done, Takeru sent it to the other Digidestined back at the real world. Now Takeru hoped that the other Digidestined would come soon and aid them in this battle. He didn't know how they'd be able to come to the Digital World, but he and his friends couldn't fight this battle by themselves.
He just hoped that it wouldn't be too late when the others arrive to the battlefield.
The older Digidestined were still in the real world. After when the younger Digidestined followed Oikawa through the gate to the Digital World, or at least they thought it was to the Digital World, the older Digidestined had been too slow to reach the gate in time before it closed, so they were left on the real world. While the younger Digidestined fought MaloMyotismon in that strange dimension, the older Digidestined had tried to get to the Digital World through Koushirou's laptop, but failed since their Digivices couldn't open the gate. Dishearted, they went to Koushirou's room (the inofficial headquarter of the Digidestined) and waited there, in case the portal would suddenly open, while they hoped that the younger Digidestined were doing well in their battle against Oikawa and his minions.
Then suddenly, the sky became more darker. At first they thought it simply was the weather that was getting bad, but the ever increasing darkness shot down that theory. They got this weird gut feeling that told them that the darkening of the sky was somehow related to the fight in the Digital World, but it wasn't until when they got an e-mail from Mimi, which said that the same thing was happening in the United States, that it became clear to them that the darkening of the sky wasn't of natural causes, but real darkness that came from the Digital World and slowly was covering the real world.
As they looked out at the window to see the darkness getting a tighter hold of the world, Taichi got the message from Takeru, and when he read it, he couldn't believe his own eyes. All this time and it was Myotismon who was behind everything that had happened to the worlds, and he did them all right below their very own noses, completely fooling them like a bunch of morons. Taichi would've even thought that Takeru's message was just a sick joke if it wasn't for the situation, and it did explain the darkening around the globe; Myotismon was a close ally to the darkness, and if he did digievolve to his new mega form, than he'd likely be powerful enough to pull something like that, but still.
After when Taichi read Takeru's message, he quickly gathered the rest of the Digidestined, and they almost immediately tried to figure out how they could go to the Digital World and help their younger friends. To say that the others were just as surprised and shocked of the revelation of Myotismon's return, his role behind everything that started with the Digimon Emperor's reign, and his digievolution to MaloMyotismon would be an understatement. Yamato and Koushirou just blinked, Sora was completely out of words, and Jyou's old childhood anxiety returned with full force and caused the oldest Digidestined to stutter nervously on how it just couldn't be true. Fortunately, they all got their acts together, and they'd a brainstorming on how they could return to the Digital World.
It was Koushirou who came up with the first idea. He asked them if they remember how they came to the Digital World the first time, which they did. That memory was just as clear as if it happened the last day. It didn't take long for them to realize what he tried to bring up by asking that question; the first time they came to the Digital World, they hadn't used a computer, but they were simply pulled to it...from the summer camp they camped at.
Koushirou's idea immediately clicked inside their heads. What if they could return to the Digital World at the summer camp? It'd worked before so it could work again.
Though the camp was at least two miles away from Tokyo so they needed someone to drive them to it, so they immediately asked their parents and other family-members for help. The Digidestined told them that they needed some lift to the camp they were in when they were pulled into the Digital World the first time, and they were ready to give them some...though not before there was some drama when the Digidestined told them that Oikawa wasn't the true enemy, but Myotismon himself, resurrected from the grave.
Yoshie Izumi almost got a nervous breakdown, Hiroaki Ishida's cigarett fell from his mouth as it'd dropped to the ground in sheer disbelief, Jyou's brother, Shin Kido, just said it was no way that it could be true, Yuuko Yagami almost cried in dread, and Toshiko Takenouchi looked like as she'd scream and curse in a rage at the monster that had returned. Being some of the few humans aside the Digidestined who remembered the "Fog Incident", as it was offically named, three years ago, they perfectely remembered the monster that was Myotismon and his occupation of Odaiba. They remembered the pain, suffering and destruction that digimon had caused Odaiba and its citizens, and all because he wanted to kill an innocent, young girl that wasn't even ten years old due to his paranoid belief that she'd destroy him one day.
And their reaction didn't become better when the Digidestined told them that not only that, but now Myotismon had digievolved to MaloMyotismon, who supposely was even worse than VenomMyotismon, and now was covering the real world in darkness and beating their younger members around as if they were rag dolls.
The Motomiyas, the Inoues, the Hidas and the Ichijoujis didn't know who the hell Myotismon was, but they were anyway ready to support the Digidestined when they heard that the youngest family-members were fighting a monstrous evil for not just their own lives, but for the fate of both worlds as well. They could tell that whoever the Myotismon fella was, he meant big business when the other adults lost their nerves just by hearing his name.
After when the families of the older Digidestined calmed themselves down, they all immediately went to their cars or any vehicle that could take the Digidestined to their old camp, and quickly drove away. As they were driving, they saw that the streets were full with people who stared at the dark sky with both wonder and fear. The people didn't know that this was something pulled by MaloMyotismon, but they knew enough that this sudden darkening of the sky wasn't something natural.
People became terrified by the darkness' increasing hold of the globe, and it didn't take long before panic broke out. More and more people became so panicked that riots were getting started around the globe. People knew that whatever all this darkness was, it was a danger and a threat, and the old survival instincts that had been dormant and repressed for so many years, for some in their entire lives, now broke loose with all their might. Those instincts did as they always do when they get free: they caused their human hosts to go wild and give in to their fear of what was threatening their self-preservation.
People were rioting everywhere in all corners of the world, and it seemed that there was no way to stop them. The fear consumed people everywhere, and it caused them to act unrationally. They were acting like a herd of animals that was being chased by hungry predators: running around without any direction, causing destruction everywhere and attacking anyone and anything that they thought were threats to them. The riot police and any other law enforcement were useless in keeping the order as the riots and the panic were too much for their numbers and resources to handle, and it didn't help that some police officers became consumed by the fear as well. Fear that crushed their self-discipline and freed their own suppressed instincts to the world.
But it wasn't just their instinctively panic that told the people to act against their own rationality. The darkness that was covering the world had a role as well in the outburst of crowd insanity. Its silent whispers were sneakingly telling the people to throw away their mask of civilized morals and just give themselves in to their inner darkness. Its whispers were encouraging them to throw away their facade and just do what they always wanted to do. To free themselves from the chains that were repressing and holding them down, and just go loose on the world that now belonged to the darkness.
The people might think they hadn't heard the whispers in all this confusion and chaos...but yet they all heard that little voice telling them to give themselves in to their own desires and wants, and not let anyone stand in their way as they always had in their entire lives.
And they listened, whatever they knew it or not.
At first when they were driving through the streets, nothing really bad happened. People just stood and looked up at the darkened sky, but as they were driving on, they saw that people suddenly started to act unrationally and before they knew it, they were in the middle of a riot zone. Buildings were burning, fires were everywhere, and people were destroying, robbing, vandalizing and burning everything they saw. They even turned their aggression toward each other as they were attacking, beating, stabbing and shooting each other. Some of those people were even police officers, firemen and ambulance drivers, and they were just as brutal like any common rioter.
The Digidestined and their families were so taken by shock that they just stared wordlessly out of the windows at the chaos. They couldn't believe that something like this was happening in front of their own eyes. It was...aweful to see all this chaos and violence that was destroying their city. Seeing people reduced to such savage and wild animals was so breathtaking that they couldn't describe what exactly they felt. But they didn't have much time to waste: they got a world to save, and all this chaos told them that they needed to hurry.
They were driving fast through the streets without stopping or slowing down. They couldn't do that since it might cause all of them to be attacked from some rioters, and then the fight would be over and MaloMyotismon would've won. After some difficulties, they were finally out of Tokyo, and on the road to the camp. It was a silent drive and no one spoke anything as they all were shocked by the chaos they just barely left. But as shocked as they were, they became more determined to defeat MaloMyotismon. Once he was gone, everything would be back to normal again.
After a quite ride, they all finally arrived to the camp there everything started for so many years ago.
"We're here," Hiroaki said to the Digidestined who were in his own van. They were all glad that they finally came, and so was Hiroaki, but he'd said that sentence with a weak tone that was unusual for the man. Despite his tough personality, the revelation of Myotismon's return, his darkening of the world, and the rioting chaos he witnessed had made an impact on him, and he found it difficult to shake them off his mind.
"Good job dad. We couldn't have done it without you," Yamato told his dad. He was glad that they finally made it despite what was happening in Tokyo, but he clearly heard that weak voice his usually strong father spoke with, so he tried to cheer him up with some extra grateful words.
Whatever it worked or not, Hiroaki didn't show it. He just immediately went to buisness.
"Yeah, yeah, but now get out. You guys got some worlds to save, and they ain't gonna be saved if you all just sit here and lazing around the whole day"
"All right dad. We're going out," Yamato said while he rolled his eyes. Typical his dad; immediately going to buisness and pretending like he was a hard nut to crack. Just like the sterotypical Japanese working man: buisness first, everything else second.
Yamato and his friends went out of the van. If this was a normal day, they'd have gotten a feeling of nostalgia as they remembered the day that changed their lives forever, but this wasn't a normal day. The sky was pitch black and they'd a hard time to see anything, so instead of nostalgia, they felt worry and dread.
"This's bad. It seems that MaloMyotismon is winning big time right now," Koushirou said, worried that it already might be too late.
"He might be winning right now, but once we kick in, he'll fall like he always does," Taichi said confidently. While he too wasn't exactly excited to see all this darkness around, he was confident that they'd win. This wasn't the first time their enemy had the advantage before losing to them, and Myotismon had been defeated, like, twice before so what different would it be this time?
While it was difficult to see in this darkness, the Digidestined could at least see that the others were getting out of their vehicles. Each individual, Digidestined or not, were silent as they, like Hiroaki, found it difficult to shake out what they witnessed in Tokyo while they drove to the camp. Hiroaki himself lightened a cigarett as soon he went out of the van to calm his nerves down. After all those things, he really needed a smoke.
"This's the place you all got transported to the Digital World?" Shin suddenly asked his brother.
"Yeah. It was here it all started for us," Jyou answered back.
"Wow...Should've joined you on your trip. Life might have been more excitning than. I bet Shuu wish that he followed you on the trip, since he like monsters and all" Shin teased his other brother Shuu, who had drove the car they all three used.
Shuu just rolled his eyes.
"It wasn't that fun and all. It was really scary when you suddenly ended up in another world just like that," Jyou told his brothers.
"Everything scared you back than. You could even be scared by a small mosquito bite" Shin teased his younger brother, who shook his head to himself as he remembered what a wimp he used to be.
"Hehehe I bet my son would've thought differently. He always wanted to travel to that world eversince he discovered it through his old games," Chinkara Hida lightheartly said to the Kido brothers. He found it ironically amusing that his son, who always knew of the Digital World and its digimon and always wanted to travel there one day, never got to see it, while one of the Digidestined ended up there by chance without any pre-knowledge and without any desire to end up there in the first place.
More and more people started to chat with each other, ask the Digidestined on how it was in the Digital World and so on. Taichi couldn't help but smile to see people loosing up despite what was happening to the worlds.
But they couldn't no longer delay. Their friends were fighting an one-sided battle, and they needed aid as soon as possible.
"Anyone who has a flashlight?" He asked to the crowd, who then looked at him.
"I've one" Mr. Motomiya said and gave Taichi his flashlight.
"Ok. Now lets go" Taichi said, and they all went after him to the camp.
Back at the battlefield, MaloMyotismon still was covering the real world in darkness, and he couldn't help but admiring his own handwork. Pretty soon, and both worlds would be united in darkness. And his empire would be complete.
Through his connection with the darkness, MaloMyotismon could tell that the human world already was burning in chaos. Humans all over the world let their fear and greed get the better of them, and they were acting like scared animals that were cornered with no way to defend themselves but aggressivly going all out. It didn't surprise him at all: humans, for all their achievements, were instinctively afraid by darkness, and even the tiniest amount of pure darkness could cause them to act like the savages they really were. But what they didn't know was that all that fear and greed would only feed the darkness and make it even more powerful. Their fear would only grow the darkness until it'd be unstoppable, and no amount of light, small or big, would be able to force it back.
All that chaos and destruction, and the both worlds hadn't even fallen completely to darkness. This was just the start of the reign of darkness. A good start, but just a start none of less. It was enough though to make him able to rule the worlds unchallanged, but just wait when the real darkness would come. Than humans and digimon alike would learn what fear truly taste like.
MaloMyotismon looked down at the Digidestined, and he saw that they were still staring at him with fright and frustrastion. They knew that he was unstoppable, so he thought that he should mock them furthur.
"Look, you little insects! Your world belongs now to the darkness! Witness the beginning of my reign over your pathetic little ball of dirt, and despair! You've failed my dear Digidestined, puppets of the cowards who dare call themselves the Sovereigns! Your world is mine, and it'll be mine forever! You humans will suffer for all the setbacks and defeats you'd given me, and you'll suffer pain that your puny minds can't even comprehend!"
"Not while we're here," Takeru shouted at MaloMyotismon, who just rolled his eyes. The stubbornness of those little...
"You little fool! Can't your simple head get this through?! You've lost, and I've won! I won before this so-called "battle" even begun, but if you want to play the hero like that moronic brat did, well here is your chance! Go ahead and attack me! Stop me if you dare!" MaloMyotismon shouted right back at the blond-haired moron who just didn't get it and waited for him to pick up his challenge.
Takeru didn't do anything. He might try to be defiant, but he already knew that he couldn't even so much as scratch MaloMyotismon if he tried to do what Daisuke did earlier.
MaloMyotismon snorted in disgust. Of course that puny, pathetic runt was nothing but a coward who wouldn't attack him when his words were put to the test. How that little runt was responsible for the death of both Devimon and Piedmon was literally the mystery of the millenium.
"I knew you wouldn't do it! For all your talk, in the end of the day, you're nothing but weak brats who cowardly hides behind those puny disgraces who don't deserve to be called digimon! Without them, you would've died the first day you came here! You're nothing but a bunch of brainwatched puppets, chosen to be the cannon fodder of those cowards that call themselves gods of this world, and fight their battles that they're too weak and afraid to do themselves! But no matter, you and your puppeteers will be gone, and both worlds will each have a real ruler for once!"
"Not while we're here!" a voice shouted at MaloMyotismon, who looked at where the voice came from. It came from MagnaAngemon, who was pulling himself up from the ground.
MaloMyotismon chuckled at MagnaAngemon.
"Oh MagnaAngemon! I know that you're the one who killed Devimon and Piedmon, two of the most powerful dark digimon that ever lived, but surely you already know that I'm unstoppable! Why do you think you can defeat me?!" MaloMyotismon asked the angle digimon, who now stood up on his legs.
"Because we're the rightous guardians of the light," MagnaAngemon said to MaloMyotismon.
"And because we're the guardians of the worlds and their people, digimon and humans alike," Angewomon suddenly said to MaloMyotismon.
"And we'll never give up to the likes of you," Silphymon said as he got up in air.
"No matter what," Shakkoumon finished, standing up at his migthy height.
"Well, you should try! Your little defiance don't seem to work out very much for you, now does it?!" MaloMyotismon snarkingly told them. He could tell that they were getting desperate when they resorted to such motivational garbage. They were clinging to their ideas like a man clinging to a rock in the middle of a raging waterfall.
The digimon charged their attacks despite what MaloMyotismon said, but he was ready for them.
"Screaming darkness!" he shouted, and a shield of darkness surrounded him. When the attacks hit it, they were reflected back at the digimon, who then fell down to the ground. MaloMyotismon laughed at that pathetic charge.
"Ah, you runts sure know how to entertain me!" he said amused.
"Come on guys! Where're you?!" Takeru desperately thought to himself. They needed help now, so the guys back home must find a way in fast, because they were losing this battle.
Back in the real world, the older Digidestined and their families were finally at the camp there everything had started three years ago. Once up at the top, Yamato couldn't help but stating the obvious.
"The darkness is very strong here too"
"I know, but if we want to get back to the Digital World, this is the only place that we may can do it. It might be the only chance for all of us and both worlds. For everything," Taichi said to Yamato with a serious and determined tone. Since they couldn't go back to the Digital World through Koushirou's laptop, this was their best bet.
"But we don't have any D-3 Digivice to open the portal," Jyou said with some of that old childhood anxiety in him. He was worried that if they failed here, all would be over. Myotismon would win this war and the worlds would finally be his.
"With the gate in Tokyo sealed by BlackWarGreymon, this's the best bet we've. I know that he tried to help us when he did it, but I think he might have done more harm than good if we can't get back there. We've to try and hope for the best," said Koushirou while he was trying to keep his emotions in controll. BlackWarGreymon's sacrifice for their cause had hurt all the Digidestined inside, and since his sacrifice proved to be wasted at the end, Koushirou was nearly angry on how mockingly cruel fate had been toward their enemy-turned-loose ally.
"This's here we went to the Digital World the first time so maybe that's a good sign," Sora said rather somberly. Not only because she was worried for the worlds if they failed this day, but also because Koushirou's reminder of BlackWarGreymon's wasted sacrifice brought out some of the sadness she felt the first time she heard about it.
"Well it better work. We've to get Noriko to Oikawa as soon as possible," Jyou said as he turned around to face the said girl and her parents. After when Oikawa harvested Noriko's Dark Spore, the girl had fallen into a deep depression. Before she was given the Dark Spore, she was just a sick, lonely and mediocre child who suffered from a serious illness that could kill her any moment, but when she got the Dark Spore, the illness not only disappeared, but she also became more than just mediocre.
She finally became someone. Someone who got the brain and the skills to become special. Someone who finally could gain the respect and love from people who used to see her as a burden and a disease carrier. And though all that love she suddenly recieved from her parents and her peers really was just shallow, at least the Dark Spore kept her from being hurt by its shallowness. It instead made her despite them all for their sudden, hypocritical care.
But now that the Dark Spore had been harvested, all those gifts were gone, and she was just a weak child again. Sure the illness was gone as well, but that didn't stop Noriko from self-pitying herself. She was broken by not only that, but also because she'd been nothing by a tool to Oikawa. A pawn for him to use and then throw away when it'd lost its usefulness for him. The man who she thought was her savior, had only been her puppeteer.
"Tell me. What's going to happen with my daughter if you don't?" Noriko's father asked the Digidestined with concern in his voice.
"Don't worry. She'll be fine," Jyou kindly said to the father.
"But..." Noriko's father started, but didn't know how to say further. He was unsure if taking his little girl to the battlefield really was the best solution for her
"She'll be okey. I promise," Shin ensured Noriko's father. He trusted his brother and his friends that they'd make it. After all, that was what they did the last time.
Noriko's father could hear the trust and confidence in Shin's voice, and it made him confident as well that the Digidestined would succeed.
"All right. We trust you"
The Digidestined smiled happily when Noriko's family put their trust in them before they turned around to face the sky, soon about to try their way into the Digital World. However, Sora still was unsure of their chances.
"Guys. Am I the only one who is worried that we won't be able to save her? That we won't be able to save everything?" she asked to her fellow comrades with a low tone. She didn't want the families behind them to doubt their chances like she was doing, so she asked loud enough so that only her friends could hear her.
"Don't worry Sora. I'm sure we'll be able to save both her and everything else. We'll make it like we always does," Yamato ensured his girlfriend, who looked at him with a happy smile on her face. Sora was glad that her boyfriend was here to comfort her.
Taichi heard them talking to each other, and smiled at them on how supporting and comforting they were to each other...but it was a false smile. Inside, Taichi couldn't help but feel something that made him...well, sour by just looking at them. He knew that he should be happy for them since they'd found love in each other...but he couldn't. Taichi didn't want to believe that he was jealous of their relationship, but that little voice inside his head was ensuring him that yes, he was jealous, and that he'd the right to be so since his so-called best friend had stolen something that should've been his. And despite Taichi tried to ignore it, he couldn't help but slowly agreeing to what it was saying.
Taichi turned his eyes from the couple and toward the sky. It was now or never.
MaloMyotismon knew that soon everything would be his. Only some darkness left, and both worlds would be united as one world of darkness. Everything would finally be in his command.
The only problem was that the pets of those weak humans just didn't get it that he'd already won. They were still fighting, no matter how much he just pushed them back each time they attacked.
"Why do you even try to fight me?! Just know this already, you're done! The worlds are already at my command, and there's nothing you can do about it, so why even bother?! Any moment soon now, and both worlds will be completely mine! Mine, and mine alone! You can't stop me no matter what, so why don't you just sit down and watch as my reign is nearing completion!" MaloMyotismon mockingly encouraged the digimon. Not that he minded them doing an idiotic charge after another, but now it was getting ridiculous even for him.
"Forget it! As so long we still can stand up we won't let you win!" MagnaAngemon said to MaloMyotismon while he and his comrades charged for another attack which they hoped would finally penetrate through MaloMyotismon's defences.
"Gate of Destiny!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
"Static Force!"
"Justice Beam!"
"Screaming Darkness!" MaloMyotismon countered back and again, the attacks reflected back at the digimon after they hit his shield of darkness. After when they were hit by their own attacks, MaloMyotismon snorted in disgust. Their first displays of defiant and denying courage had entertained him for their sheer stupidity, but now they were getting boring, and even started to irritate him.
"You little weaklings! You think that you're saving the worlds, but in reality you're just denying the natural selection! The darkness is meant to rule, and I'm meant to rule your worlds! You can try the whole day long if you want to, but you'll lose, and as soon my work is complete, I'll make you wish that you never had been born!" an increasing angry MaloMyotismon threatened his foes.
The hope of the Digidestined was running out. Their partners had tried to attack several times by now, but they were always pushed back by the powerful might of the dark being that was MaloMyotismon. No matter how much the digimon tried, they always failed to even much as blast a tiny hole through MaloMyotismon's defences, and the Digidestined started to get desperate. If they didn't stop him now, than it'd be all over. The freedom of the people of both worlds would be gone, and endless evil would rule over them for all time.
"Please get up Silphymon! Please get up!" Miyako shouted to Silphymon as she was extremely worried that her digimon partner was badly hurt. He'd taken so many hits by his own attacks that Miyako started to believe that some few more, and her partner would...
"I'm fine Miyako! Just stay at there you're! We'll sooner of later beat this monster!" Silphymon ensured his human partner and grinned a confident smile at her while he, painfully, was trying to get up. He knew that she started to doubt his and his friends' chances, and the last thing they needed was the children losing themselves to despair. He tried to keep Miyako's fear and doubt in check by his encouragement, but the real problem was that inside, even he started to doubt their chances.
"Angewomon, are you alright?!" Hikari asked her digimon partner who was trying to get up as well. Like her friends, Angewomon was rather bruised, as two of her wings seemed to be out of their place, and some of her white clothing had gotten some tears at her left arm and leg.
"I'm fine, Hikari! No need to worry for me! This isn't the worst beating I've received from him!" Angewomon said to Hikari as she tried to calm her human partner's worry. She tried to say that with her usual kind and graceful tone, but the pain and the bitter recall of her former servitude to that psychotic, evil being made it instead sound sour and bitter.
"Ok" Hikari said with low tone, worried that her digimon partner was nearing her edge, both physically and mentally.
"Shakkoumon, how do you feel?!" Iori asked his towering digimon partner.
"I've never been better," Shakkoumon sarcastically answered Iori as he was trying to keep himself in balance. All the beatings had made his head dizzy, and he found it difficult to stand up right.
"This's getting nowhere. We can't penetrate to him, and the darkness' hold over the Real World is getting stronger. We must stop him, but how? What can we do that we haven't tried yet?" MagnaAngemon thought to himself. He and his comrades were reaching their limits, and they were getting out of options. They needed a miracle to beat that corrupted digimon, and fast.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS?! WE NEED HELP NOW SO WHY THE HELL ARE YOU TAKING SO LONG!" Takeru mentally shouted in desperation. They needed help, and they needed that like NOW.
Back at the camp, the older Digidestined were facing the pitch black sky.
"Taichi, we've to get to the Digital World before its too late," Agumon said to his human partner. He was the only digimon amongst this group of humans, which those who weren't familiar with digimon before were creeped out by before they were ensured that Agumon was on their side.
"I know so lets try it," Taichi said as he picked up his Digivice from his pocket and held it up to the sky.
"Digiportal open...please," Taichi said to the sky rather unsure if it'd work or not. It seemed to be the latter as nothing happened. No portal opened up or anything, they were all still facing the same dark sky at the same world.
"Great. I guess that theory is out now," Yamato said bitterly after an awkward silence.
"This's bad. What'll we do now?" Jyou asked his fellow Digidestined.
"I don't know," Taichi answered somberly. He didn't know how they could aid their younger friends, now that they couldn't get to the Digital World.
Despair was right about to set growth within the group when suddenly, Koushirou got something interesting on his laptop.
"Hey guys! Take a look of this!" Koushirou loudly said to his friends.
"More bad news?" Jyou sarcastically asked the red-haired computer expert.
"No...actually there're some good news! It's lightening up over the whole world!"
"What?! Really?!" Taichi asked surprised.
"Yeah. The lights are everywhere, and they're penetrating through the darkness!"
"How? What exactly is happening?" Sora asked.
"I think that the Digidestined around the world are pointing their Digivices, and the lights inside them are pushing the darkness back!"
Indeed, the Digidestined around the world were pointing their Digivices to push back the darkness that had covered their world. They wouldn't let the darkness win this day, so they were pointing their Digivices up to the dark sky to aid the light to beat this unnatural force of evil once and for all. All individuals who were so different in race, colour, social class, religion and nationality were for this day united for one common cause: to protect the worlds from the dark evil that was threatening each life living on them, and they were spreading the light to stop the darkness from taking over everything that they held dear to in their hearts and souls.
Back at the battlefield, something unexpected happened that took the Digidestined with surprise. Hundreds and hundreds of digimon appeared on the cliffs that surrounded them, seemingly out of the blue. Digimon of all sizes and levels gathered around the battlefield with the common goal to aid their brothers and sisters against the creature that had caused and still was causing so much pain, suffering and chaos to both worlds, and they all would defeat him and end his evil once and for all.
"Wow look at all those digimon! Must be hundreds of them!" Iori said completely taken by surprise by witnessing this event.
"Well, it was about time some help came! Now they can help us defeat this monster!" Shakkoumon said rather annoyed on how all these digimon took their sweet time to finally arrive.
"Be grateful that our friends finally came to aid us in this battle!" MagnaAngemon said to his larger comrade in a disciplinary tone. They should be grateful that the aid they desperately needed had finally arrived, and specially when that aid came from this large force, completely outnumbering MaloMyotismon to literally hundreds to one. But it was as Shakkoumon said; it was about time they came, as he and his friends were rather bruised up. Just his own armor started to gain cracks everywhere, and one of his wings didn't work properly as it'd been burned by his own attack.
Speaking of MaloMyotismon, he was utterly annoyed to see all these digimon around who thought that just because they were outnumbering him, they could defeat him any moment soon. He didn't listen to all those pets that belonged to the older brats as they were talking on how he'd lose, on how they'd win, the importence of friends and love, and all that usual bullcrap. Finally, he became so irritated by them and their little speeches that sounded like they were taken directly from some self-help booklet that he attacked them with the powers of darkness, just to shut them up.
"Screaming darkness!" He shouted, and dark energy blew all the digimon on their faces. As that shut them up for a moment, MaloMyotismon thought he should lecture them.
"Fools! It doesn't matter how many you're! You'll lose regardless! The worlds are mine!"
Then he looked up at the real world, not even bothering to wait for someone to say something back. He thought he'd see a world completely covered in darkness, ready for him to claim as his kingdom. Instead, he saw lights appearing out of the darkness one by one, and they were shining more and more stronger and were slowly ruining his work.
"They got to be kidding me?!" a frustrated MaloMyotismon thought to himself. All those brats back at the real world – all those weak reserves – were trying to ruin his work with their Digivices. They were trying to push the darkness away, and that was really getting to him. He'd worked so hard and waited so long for this day to be his most ultimate triumph, but yet all those little, sniveling worms who thought themselves to be an advanced species were trying to ruin all his hard work as much as they could.
"Guys. I can feel it," Hikari suddenly said to her friends.
"What can you feel?" Miyako asked surprised.
"The light. I can feel the light. Our friends at the real world are sending their light to us to help us," Hikari said, elated that their fortune finally started to shine for once. Being the Digidestined of Light, she could feel the light that came out of the Digivices around the real world and how it was pushing back the darkness that MaloMyotismon needed to make himself powerful. There was a chance for them afterall.
"She's right. I can feel it too," Angewomon said as well. Being partened to the Digidestined of Light, she too could feel the lights. She could feel that they shone with more and more strength by each second, and she felt, well, stronger. The lights gave her strength, and it gave her the ability to ignore her pain. She, like her partner, was now confident that they could win this battle against the creature that was a slave to his own dark ambitions.
And it'd be only more light to spare. The Digivices at the real world suddenly shot out powerful beams of light that penetrated through the darkness, went through the hole and hit all digimon around them, lightening them up with such blinding strength that MaloMyotismon suddenly put his arms to his eyes.
"NO! PLEASE GET THIS LIGHT OUT OF ME! IT HURT! IT HURTS DAMMIT! PLEASE TAKE THIS LIGHT AWAY! IT'S MELTING MY EYES!" MaloMyotismon screamed like if he was being hurt by the glowing light that surrounded him from all sides.
"Look. He's in pain," Takeru said with a surprised tone. He already knew that the powers of light had an edge against the powers of darkness, but he didn't know that a such powerful dark being like MaloMyotismon could be hurt by the light by just its mere presence, and it surprised him that such seemingely unstoppable foe could be hurt by such a small thing.
But then Takeru's surprise turned into a smug feeling that was unusual for the boy to feel, and he likely would've been disgusted by himself if it wasn't due to which being that was screaming and shouting in pain right now.
"Good. He deserves to be in pain, after the things he'd done. I just wish we could hurt him further more. If I could, he would've been ripped apart, limb by limb, for everything he'd done", Takeru thought to himself bitterly. After what that freak had done, it deserved far worse pain than this, but he guessed that it'd do for now.
Back at the camp, the sky had suddenly lightened up with bright colours of all kinds, but right in front of the older Digidestined was a circular cloud that was green, with a white point at the middle.
"Look at that! The light!" Taichi said in surprise of seeing something like this.
"It's the portal! It's opening up!" Agumon said to the surprised Digidestined.
"It's the portal? Than lets waste no more time than! Our friends need us now!" Jyou said to the others, ready to jump in and aid their younger friends against MaloMyotismon. He then turned his head to Noriko and said to her...
"Noriko! It's time!"
Noriko, still depressed, walked from her worried family toward the Digidestined in a zombie-like way. She got near Sora, who comfortingly put her arm around Noriko's shoulders.
"It's alright. Everything'll be worked out. You'll see," Sora said in a comforting tone to the depressed girl. Whatever it worked ot not, Noriko didn't show it. She just looked at Sora with empty eyes.
"Come on! Lets go!" Agumon shouted back to the Digidestined. They didn't have much time to waste, and if they got to win this war once and for all, they needed to go now.
"Right" Taichi said. The Digidestined picked up their Digivices and pointed them at the cloud. It didn't take long before the familiar tsunami that took them to the Digital World the first time appeared once again, and just like the last time, it swallowed them up and sent them right away.
The families of the Digidestined had turned their eyes away when the tsunami appeared, but then they turned back, the Digidestined were gone.
"Where did they go?! Noriko! Noriko!" Noriko's father shouted as he looked around for his daugther.
"Don't worry. She with the only people that can help her now. She'll be alright," Hiroaki ensured the worried father.
"Besides, there's nothing we can do now. We can only believe in our children that they'll win," Nancy said.
"She's right. We've to believe in them," Mrs. Motomiya said to the group.
"They succeeded three years ago, so they'll succeed again," Yuukio said to the group. While she was worried for her children, she also was proud of them for the strength they possessed and what they'd done for both worlds, and she trusted in them that they'd succeed in their mission.
"Yes, but remember. They're fighting Myotismon again, and even three years ago he was a tough nut to crack," Masami Izumi said as he remembered how difficult it was for the children to defeat that monster, and he was worried for them, now that Myotismon had become more stronger than ever before.
An awkward silence appeared within the group. Most of them remembered Myotismon, how difficult it was for the children to defeat him and how they really only won due to luck. Yuukio mentally cursed Myotismon. That monster started all this just because he wanted to kill her little girl, and even tried it at one point. Hikari only survived because a digimon named Wizardmon had sacrificed himself for her, as Mr. Ishida had told her and her husband, and Yuukio felt eternal gratefulness to the digimon she hadn't even met.
"They'll beat him. They did it before, and they can do it again. Just wait. Any moment soon, they'll come back as heroes," Shin ensured the group, confident that Myotismon would fail once again, and hopefully for good.
"They must do it. If they don't, well...you saw what happened in Tokyo," Haruhiko Takenouchi said to the group, which again became silent. The aweful event back in Tokyo still was in their minds, and just there it became clear that Myotismon couldn't be allowed to win.
"They'll win. The whole world is depending on them. We must believe that our children will be victorious," Toshiko said as she trusted her daughter and her friends that they'd defeat that monster which she'd nothing but contempt for.
The group continued to look at the colourful sky, hoping that their children would come back home whole and safe, unaware of what plans the future had in store for them.
The younger Digidestined and their digimon partners were staring at what was happening around them with awe, and they weren't sure if they should believe their own eyes or not. Just a moment ago, they'd fought a losing battle, if you could even call it a battle, but now the tides had changed, and MaloMyotismon was screaming and trembling in pain due to the lights that shone strongly around him. They were amazed on how quickly things had turned in just some few seconds.
And they'd be even more amazed on what was about to come next.
"My friends, look up!" MagnaAngemon said to his friends after he saw what was coming down from the sky. They all looked up and they were both surprised and elated to see the other Digidestined arriving to the battlefield. The Digidestined were falling down, but thanks to their Digivices that they were pointing to the ground and the light beams that helped them to get to the Digital World, they landed safety on the cliffs that their digimon partners were at.
Takeru was so happy that his friends finally arrived that he couldn't stop himself from shouting to them.
"Hey guys! It's about time you came! We thought that you wouldn't come and help us! That freak was pushing us around just one minute ago!"
"Yeah, like we'd ever abandon you guys! We just had some traffic difficulties, but we finally came, didn't we?!" Taichi jokingly shouted back to Takeru.
"You sure did! We're happy to see you here!" Hikari shouted, glad to meet her brother in this event.
"So that thing is MaloMyotismon huh?!" Taichi asked loudly to the younger Digidestined as he quickly went to buisness.
"Yes! That's Myotismon's new mega form! Not only that, but he's even more of a corrupt and monstrous evil than we fought three years ago!" Angewomon answered the brother of her human partner. The reason why she called him more corrupt than before was because she still remembered what exactly that monster did back at that strange dimension not a long time ago, and it made the usual patient and kind digimon to feel nothing but contempt to him.
Taichi frowned when he heard the bitter tone that was unusual and out-of-character for the graceful and kind digimon, but he guessed that it'd to due with her former past with that monster.
"Well, alright! We're going to take him down once and for all!" He shouted, and all the Digidestined and digimon shouted in agreement, ready to take this monster down for good. As soon he was defeated, peace would be finally restored between the worlds, and humans and digimon alike would live with each other in everlasting peace and understanding.
But alas, if only one of them had the ability to foresee the future, they'd have known that this battle was just the beginning of the end of the Digidestined.
Author's notes: Hi, it's me again, and as you can see, I'm reuploading this chapter. The reason why is because when I uploaded it the first time, I did so without reading it through some couple times before to see if the grammar was correct, as I was too excited by the relative success of the first chapter to care, but when the excitment ran off, I felt that I'd rushed out the second chapter, and based on the lack of responce for it, I guess that my feeling was right, so I deleted it and then I read it through some couple of times to make the grammar correct as possible. I found a lot of grammar issues so I'd now spent a whole month trying to fix them. This's so far I think I can go, considering that English ain't my first language. And as I said in the AN in the first chapter, pay attention that English isn't my first language so it may be still some grammar issues. In case of that, please PM me so that I can fix it.
Anyway, I hope that you like my fic as it's now, despite the possible faults in it.
To Sonfaro: Whatever Christmas the Japanese celebrates, I think it's probably just some forced advertising to make people buy more things than usual, because what other reason would a non-Christian population celebrate Christmas for, but anyway, I'm glad that you like the first chapter enough to follow this fic. It's really appreciating.
To Crystal A. Kenbara: I'm glad that you were so taken by the first chapter that you nearly didn't have any words for it. Continue to follow my fic, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied by the end of it ;)
