Chris and Dorumon landed in a green meadow. Flowers of different colors lay on the ground.

" This place looks nice." Dorumon said. " Maybe no one is here."

" Let's go try to find some other Digimon." Chris said. " Then, we can be sure."

Chris and Dorumon started walking across the meadow. Eventually, a town came into sight. " Let's check it out." Chris said.

The two ran toward the town at full speed. When they reached the town, it was once again, empty. The two looked around and saw no one, neither friend or enemy.

On top of a nearby wooden building, ( the town was made of wood), someone smirked at the two. " So that boy has arrived here too…well, I'll turn him into data before he knows it!"

The Digimon landed in front of Chris and Dorumon and cracked his knuckles. " Welcome to Dark Town. My soon to be Mini-Kingdom!" The Digimon was tall and black other than a red mark on his chest. He had large wings but they were covered in holes and he had long arms.

" N-No way!" Chris said. He recognized the Digimon. He pointed out his finger. " Y-You're D-D-Devimon!"

" You know this guy?" Dorumon asked. " And what's so scary about him?"

" Why don't I show you?" Devimon said. " Death Hand!" Devimon sent a blast towards Chris and Dorumon jumped in the way.

" Dorumon!" Chris shouted. " Get away from him!"

" I'm kind of trying!" Dorumon said as he tried to stand up. Devimon kicked him in the stomach and sent him flying towards another building.

" Hurricane Gale!"

Devimon was sent flying away into a building when the wind became extremely powerful. " W-What happened?" Devimon asked.

" I happened you weakling!" A white Digimon stood in the air. It looked like a woman, and had large white wings on it's back and a mask covering her mouth. " I am Zephyrmon! An Ultimate level, my Hurricane Gale will knock the wind out and into you."

" I've heard of you! You may have stopped me now but once the army achieves Self Digivolution, your finished!" Devimon said as he flew away.

" Thanks, Zephyrmon! You saved us!" Chris said.

" I couldn't done it too…" Dorumon grumbled.

" No problem, Digidestined. But now I must take my leave, I've got other Digimon to help." Zephyrmon said as she warped away.

" Looks like she fell for it…" Devimon said as he stepped out from behind a building. " Now taste this! Death Hand!"

The blast hit Dorumon and sent him flying. " I've got no more energy…" Dorumon said.

" What do I do now?" Chris thought.

" I'll destroy this human first." Devimon said. " No be erased!"

" Quetzalmon! Freeze Wave!"

A serpent-like Digimon appeared in front of Chris and blasted Devimon with a cold wind. " What now?" Devimon asked as he froze into a block of ice.

A young boy with long black hair stood behind Chris. " Well, look who it is?"

" Washington?! You're here?" Chris asked.

" Yes I am, stepbrother. Luckily, I saved your tail." Washington said.

" Well, thanks for that. But I have so many questions…" Chris said.

" Questions later. Here!" Washington said as he tossed Chris a can. " Give it to your Digimon. It's Digibites. They'll put your Digimon at full strength."

" Thanks." Chris gave Dorumon some Digi-Bites.

" These are good!" He said as he ate. Then he stood up and started to glow. " Woah! I'm full of energy!"

" Dorumon Digivolve to…!" Dorumon grew his claws back as his fur transformed. His wings popped out and he shouted " Dorugamon!"

" Great. Now, Quetzalmon, Chris, let's take this creep!" Washington shouted.

Quetzalmon and Dorugamon flew over to Devimon. " You think you to can stop me? Just try it!" Devimon shouted.

" We will!" Dorugamon said. " Power Metal!" A giant gray sphere flew out at Devimon. Devimon tried to dodge but Quetzalmon got behind him.

" Toltec Wind!" A strong wind pushed Devimon towards the Power Metal and the blast exploded on contact.

Chris looked down on the ground and noticed a pair of goggles. Where did these come from? Chris grabbed them and put them on just before being covered in smoke.

When the smoke cleared, Devimon was nowhere in sight. " We did it!" Washington shouted.

Something isn't right. Chris thought. That couldn't have beaten him...could it have?

" Touch of Evil!"

" Ugh!" Washington shouted as Devimon grabbed his shoulder. The dark energy flowed into Washington until Devimon stood up.

" No!" Chris shouted.

" You're little friend is now under my control. And a Digimon must listen to his 'human'. But just in case…" Devimon grabbed Quetzalmon. " Touch of Evil." The touch turned Quetzalmon back to his rookie form, Wormmon.

Washington stood in front of Chris. " I must follow my master's order. Chris, prepare yourself."

" There's no point in arguing with him. That can't beat the touch of evil. Fine. Dorugamon, get ready to fight." Chris said.

" Fine." Dorugamon said. " Let's do this!"

Washington just looked at them coldly, black in his eyes. " Wormmon, Dark-Digivolve!"

" Wait what?!" Chris said.

" Wormmon, Dark-Digivolve to…!" Wormmon was surrounded in fire and started to grow taller. Wings popped out of his back, similar to a butterfly. He stood on two legs and faced Dorugamon. " Shadramon!"

Shadramon aimed his hands at Dorugamon. " Flash Buster!" Shadramon shot fire from both hands. Dorugamon flew up into the air above Shadramon.

" Cannonball!" Dorugamon shot a grey sphere at Shadramon. Shadramon knocked it away with his forearm. " What?!"

" You can't hurt me with those attacks. I'm an ultimate level Digimon!" Shadramon said. " Flash Buster!"

Dorugamon fell to the floor. " What now? How do I beat this guy?"

Suddenly, Zephyrmon flew in front of Dorugamon. " You're back!" Chris shouted.

" No time to talk. Human, Digifuse us!" Zephyrmon said.

" Digi...Fuse?" Chris said. " I remember! I'll try, Zephyrmon!"

Chris swung around in a circle and pumped his fist out, while holding his Digivice. " Dorugamon, Zephyrmon, Digi-Fuse!"

Dorugamon and Zephyrmon were pulled together and a bright light appeared. When the light dimmed, a white and blue striped Digimon stood there. It had two white wings and two blue wings. It also had Dorugamon claws.

" Doruzephyrmon!" Doruzephyrmon shouted. " I'm Doruzephrymon! An Ultimate Level Digimon. My Metal Wind attack will knock the air right out of you!"

" Flash Buster!" Shadramon shouted. The fire flew towards Doruzephyrmon.

" Metal Wind!" Dorzephyrmon shouted as a giant gust of wind, filled with pieces of metal blew at Shadramon. Shadramon couldn't take it and was knocked to the ground. Shadramon dedigivolved back to Wormmon and lay at Washington's feet.

" No!" Devimon shouted. " He was a great weapon."

" Now it's your turn!" Doruzephyrmon said. " Wind Metal!"

The wind blew Devimon into a portal and then he was gone.

Doruzephyrmon went back to Dorugamon and Zephyrmon and walked to Chris. Dorugamon went back to being Dorumon and they looked at Washington.

" Get up!" Washington shouted as he kicked Wormmon. " You useless data!"

" Stop it!" Chris said as he grabbed Washington. " This isn't you! Snap out of it."

" Just leave me alone!" Washington shouted.

" Just shut up!" Chris said as he punched him in the face.

Washington fell to the floor and snapped back to normal. " Wormmon!" He said as he grabbed him.

" No problem, Washington. I know it wasn't you." Wormmon said.

" I'll see you around, Chris." Washington said as he opened a portal.

" See you around, bro. Be safe." Chris said.

Washington gave a thumbs-up and jumped into the portal with Wormmon on his back.

" Ready to go? Dorumon?" Chris said.

Dorumon stared intently at the ground. He clenched his fists, seemingly not hearing Chris.

" Hey, Dorumon." Chris said as he grabbed shook Dorumon.

" Oh. Sorry, Chris." Dorumon said. " I was just thinking...The Digimon here...they all got destroyed. I don't want that to happen in the next place. Ok?"

" You got it!" Chris said. " Now then, let's go!"

" So what's this place?" Dorumon asked.

" How should I know? You're the Digimon." Chris said.

They were standing in front of a large castle. It had a bridge and a moat and two tall pillars on each side. " Looks like something out of a movie." Chris said.

" What's a movie?" Dorumon asked.

" Nevermind. Let's go check it out." Chris said.

" You aren't checking anything out."

Chris and Dorumon turned around to see a Digimon standing behind them.

" So you two are the pair of trouble-makers. The Chaos army doesn't like pests."

" So that's the armies name." Chris said. " Anyway, who are you?"

" My name is Arresterdramon. Though I'm not alone. I'm a Digifusion. Thankfully, the army was able to make a device to temporarily fuse Digimon. I've only got a couple of minutes left. Enough to destroy you!" Arresterdramon said. " Infinity Prism Gallet!"

A lot of missiles flew towards Dorumon and Chris. They looked like beams of light. The two ran for the castle and ducked. The missiles flew over their head and smashed the door to pieces. When they looked back towards Arresterdramon, two Digimon stood there.

One of them looked like a purple humanoid dragon. It had a spiky, red chest, almost resembling armor. And a long purple neck, with a large spiky head. It also had a tail, with a large silver spike. " I am Arresterdramon." He said.

The other was a large machine like Digimon. It towered above them, almost the size of the castle itself.

" Thank you for your help, GigaBreakdramon...but I have no more use for you. Goodbye." Arresterdramon stabbed GigaBreakdramon with it's tail and laughed as he turned to data. He then turned to face Chris. " Now it's your turn."

" WHO DARES ATTACK MY CASTLE!" A Digimon jumped down and landed in front of Chris. " I am Yasyamon! A Champion Level Digimon. My Double Strike attack will leave you seeing double."

" So you're the king?"Arresterdramon asked. " You look more like a pawn."

" Do not judge. I started out as Veemon, the prince and went on my quest to find the Digi-Egg of sincerity. Armor Digivolving into what you see now. I will not lose to you!" Yasyamon said.

" Whatever you say." Arresterdramon said. " I will destroy this boy and take your castle by nightfall! Mach Flickr!" Arresterdramon jumped towards Yasyamon and started punching at Mach was able to keep up though and kept blocking every punch.

Chris looked at Dorumon. " Quick, it's time to Digivolve!"

" Dorumon digivolve to...Dorugamon!" Dorugamon flew towards Arresterdramon and head-butt him in the stomach. Arresterdramon backed up and looked at Dorugamon.

" Fine, I'll take both of you!" He said. " Spiral Shredder!" Arresterdramon started to spin at incredible speeds. He zoomed towards Dorugamon but Yasyamon pushed him out of the way. Yasyamon used his swords to block the attack. Arresterdramon landed behind him. Yasyamon smiled but it faded as he swords fell to pieces.

Arresterdramon smirked as he turned to watch a large, yellow gash appear in Yasyamon's stomach. Data leaked as Yasyamon fell on his knees, left arm over his stomach. " I'm sorry, human. Please...please save my kingdom…" Yasyamon disappeared into data as Arresterdramon laughed.

" Pathetic fool. Thank's for the dark energy." Arresterdramon said.

Chris fell to the ground and started to cry. " No! He only wanted to save his people! He was doing his best!" He glared at Arresterdramon. " And you deleted him!"

" And?" Arresterdramon said. " What is your point?"

Dorugamon stood there, shocked at the events. He started to growl and glared at Arresterdramon. Chris looked at Dorugamon. His eyes were like daggers, so fierce and cold, and they were aimed at Arresterdramon." I'll...I'll delete you! I won't let you get away with this!"

Purple energy started to swirl around Dorugamon. " Dorugamon...Dark...Digi-"

" NO!"

Chris jumped on Dorugamon and shook him. " No! Don't do it. This won't avenge him! Please!" A tear fell on Dorugamon and he stopped moving and the energy faded. Dorugamon went back to Dorumon and looked at Chris. " Thanks Chris. We'll find another way."

A few hours later…

Chris woke up and looked around. He seemed to be in some sort of lab. Surrounded by beakers and some sort of large capsule. He looked towards the door, tried to move, trapped. Though the door came Arresterdramon and he smirked. " Glad you could wake up, Chris. I was able to capture you, easily. And Dorugamon too."

A light flashed on and Dorugamon was tied to a machine. " Sorry, Chris…" He said weakly.

" Now! No time to waste! The experiment is now!" Arresterdramon said. He flipped a switch and laughed.

Dorugamon screamed in pain and agony as lights flashed around him. He shook and shattered until the glass in the room exploded and he fell to the floor.

" What did you do?!" Chris said.

" Just a little cloning." Arresterdramon said. " Now, give your Digimon some Digi-Bites. I want him at full strength for this battle."

Chris was released from his chain and ran to Dorugamon. He fed him the Digi-Bites and stood up.

" Thanks...Chris. I'm ready now!" Dorugamon said. " What did he do to me anyway?"

" He said something about cloning." Chris said. " But I don't really know."

" You can stop guessing. It's time for a show!" Arresterdramon said. " Rise, DexDorugamon!"

A Digimon busted from the roof and landed in front of Arresterdramon. It looked similar to Dorugamon but like a badly made robot. It was covered with spikes and stitches and it's tail was a made of sparking wires. " I am DexDorugamon. Prepare to be destroyed."

DexDorugamon charged at Dorugamon and grabbed him, flying into the air. Dorugamon slammed his head against DexDorugamon and broke free. " So you do feel pain?" Dorugamon said. " You're real."

" That's no matter to you! Just fight me so I can prove who is stronger!" DexDorugamon said.

" Fine." Dorugamon said. " But we don't have to fight. You can avoid this!"

" I don't care!" DexDorugamon said as he scratched Dorugamon across the face. Dorugamon was sent flying towards the ground and opened his eyes to see DexDorugamon preparing an attack. " Cannonball!"

" Cannonball!" Dorugamon said as he countered the attack. Both Digimon shot grey spheres form their mouth and they exploded on impact. The two flew in the air, staring at each other.

" DexDorugamon. Let's go. We have new orders." Arresterdramon said.

DexDorugamon landed beside Arresterdramon. " Listen. You should know…"

A piercing scream filled the area with chills as DexDorugamon impaled his hand into Arresterdramon. " That was my Metal Cast. As I was saying, you should know I take orders from no weaklings." DexDorugamon flew away as Arresterdramon dissolved into data.

" What did he do?" Chris asked as Dorugamon landed beside him.

" There's something I should explain to you first." Dorugamon said. " All Digimon are made with a Digi-Core. It's who they are. What DexDorugamon does is he takes that. He rips out a Digimon Digi-Core and...they turn out like Arresterdramon."

Chris clenched his fist. " That jerk! We'll get him. We have to." Chris said.
