The Digimon Emperor was not only hunting Digimon and turning them into his slaves, but he was making them fight each other just for the fun of it! We detected more Digi-Eggs, but before we could find them, a gang of Tyrannomon attacked us under orders from the Emperor, so we split up. T.K and Kari found their Digi-Eggs inside of a cave. Gatomon was finally able to Armor Digivolve into Nefertimon and Patamon transformed into Pegasusmon! And with their help, as well as help from Voltachu and Atlantispoleon, we defeated the Tyrannomon and broke them free from the Digimon Emperor's Dark Rings! Then Ash and Dawn told us about their dreams and we learned there are three other Digimasters that were chosen by the same Digivices they possessed.
The Emperor's coliseum
"Pepper Breath!" Agumon shouted as he shot a fireball right at the cell.
"V-Headbutt!" Veemon shouted, headbutting the cell with his head. "Come on, guys! Let's rock!"
Not needing another reminder, the Gotsumon began to run off.
"That was easy." Davis said. The Digi-Destined led the Gotsumon out of the coliseum.
"You guys are officially fugitives." Agumon said.
"If that's the defense the Digimon Emperor's going to put up, then this fight will be over in the first round." Davis said.
"Something was weird." T.K noted.
"What was?" Patamon asked.
"It was so easy for us to break out of that prison. There wasn't a single guard around. It was like he wanted us to get away. I think he's up to something." T.K said.
"You're crazy! He took one look at our awesome skills and he hit the road! Isn't that right, Kari?" Davis asked.
"Actually Davis, I'm going to have to agree with T.K." Kari said. Davis groaned. "This guy is not going to let us get away without some kind of reason."
"I agree with you Kari." Ash, Dawn, Pikachu and Piplup had just returned from their search.
"Any luck with your search?" Tai asked him.
"No. We looked all over the place and there's no sign of him. I've got the feeling that T.K's right. He's up to something." Ash said.
"I agree Ash." Dawn nodded.
"Pika." Pikachu said.
"Pip." Piplup said.
The others ran over to them.
"We'll worry about it later! Let's get back to the real world. I'm starving. I can practically smell the cafeteria food from here!" Tai said.
"That's my peanut butter and jelly bean sandwich I've had in my pocket since last week." Davis said.
"Yuck." Ash, Dawn, Pikachu, Piplup and Kari said, grossed out by the sandwich.
As they continued to walk towards their exit, Gatomon turned and saw a strange black tower.
'What's that tower?' Gatomon thought.
Digimon Emperor's dark headquarters
"The next one should be in place right about...now." The Digimon Emperor said.
"There." He grinned.
"Now, to let everyone know who's boss." Later, the Digimon Emperor stands before Gabumon and a crowd of Gazimon with some enslaved Vegiemon. "This Control Spire is the most dominating object in the Digital World. Wherever I put one, that area will be under my control and all those around it will be my slaves. It's useless to try and escape, and those who do will have to answer to my soldiers."
The enslaved Vegimon keep watch over them.
'How do I get myself into these things?' Gabumon thought.
Back in the real world, the Digi-Destined returned to the computer room, but Yolei and Izzy were shocked to see that they brought the Gotsumon with them, thinking they'd be safer in the real world. Yolei screamed.
"Are you crazy, bringing the Gotsumon back from the Digital World?" Izzy asked.
"We didn't have a choice. We couldn't just leave them there for the Digimon Emperor to make them into slaves, right?" Tai asked.
"Yep." Kari agreed.
"That's right." Ash said.
"True." Dawn nodded.
"Pika." Pikachu said.
"Pip." Piplup said.
"But how are we going to explain it if Mr. Fujiyama happens to come in here?" Yolei asked.
"Don't worry. I'll tell him that I'm taking a sculpting class and these are some of my early masterpieces. Hit it, boys!" Cody said as the Gotsumon got into position.
"Early rejects would be a better phrase." Yolei chuckled.
"I say they're perfect." Dawn said.
"Pip." Piplup said.
"Yolei, would it be alright with you if I borrowed your Digivice?" Izzy requested.
"But what for?" Yolei asked, handing Izzy her Digivice.
"Well, it's obvious the power from your Digivices and Ash and Dawn's Digivices opens the gate to the Digital World. Our old Digivices don't seem to work." Izzy deduced.
"I've tried mine, but no luck. The only way we can get into the Digital World is if one of you opens the gate for us." Tai said.
'How's that possible. Ash, T.K and Kari's opened the gate before they changed into new ones.' Dawn thought.
"That's true Dawn. It doesn't make any sense." Ash said.
"Pika." Pikachu said.
"Pip." Piplup said.
"So I wanted to try and experiment with the new Digivices if that's okay with you." Izzy said. Yolei nodded.
Back in the Digital World
The Digimon Emperor and his Vegiemon slaves placed Gabumon and the Gazimon in a prison cell.
"Let's move out! I've got an early tea time in the morning." The Digimon Emperor said.
Gabumon watched from inside the cell as the Vegiemon carried him in his throne.
"We're busting out tonight, boys! Aw, why wait? Everyone, stay to the back of the cell! Blue Blaster!" Gabumon shouted, destroying the wall of their prison cell. They ran out, but a green spiked limb comes flying at Gabumon. It hits him.
"Apparently you don't listen to instructions!" A Digimon spoke up.
"Who are you?" Gabumon asked.
"I'm the Digital World's biggest salad bar, RedVegiemon." The red Digimon said.
The Digimon Analyzer activated.
"I am the biggest and the ripest of all Vegiemon. My Stink Jet attack destroys my enemies with noxious fumes."
The Digimon Analyzer deactivated.
"Try and stop us, stinky." Gabumon said, daring RedVegiemon.
"For trying to escape, you get to smell my roots! And I have root rot!" RedVegiemon shouted. He proceeds to hit Gabumon. "Smell this!" RedVegiemon keeps on hitting Gabumon with his spiked limbs.
"That's disgusting! No more, please!" Gabumon begged.
"You kidding?! I'm just warming up!" RedVegiemon said.
Gabumon was knocked out from his assault.
"Hey, if you can't stand the smell, then get out of the kitchen!" RedVegiemon knocked Gabumon down the cliff and into the river.
"Ahh! My fur is dry-clean only!" Gabumon said, splashing around.
Gabumon falling into the river was noticing by a blonde-haired girl.
"That's not good." She said. "Sylveon, help him out of the river."
Sylveon's feelers dragged Gabumon out of the water.
"Hey, are you alright?" The girl asked.
Gabumon looked at her.
"Yeah, thanks for saving me but I've got to tell the others. They need to be warned." Gabumon said.
"Warned about what?" She asked.
"I have to find Matt." Gabumon said, losing consciousness.
"He needs medical treatment, fast." She took out her equipment. There was a object in her pocket that resembled the Digivice Ash and Dawn have, but it was blue matching her ribbon.
T.K came to see his brother after a concert and explained to him about bringing the Gotsumon to the real world.
"Listen T.K. Just because I'm in a rock band, it doesn't mean that I can hide a bunch of rocks that happen to be Digimon." Matt said.
"Maybe they could be your backup singers." T.K joked.
Just then a teenage girl came up to Matt.
"Ooh! Can I have your autograph?" The girl requested.
"Sure. What's your name?" Matt asked.
"Just make it to Jun Motomiya." The girl replied.
"Did you say Motomiya? You wouldn't happen to be Davis' sister, would you?" T.K asked.
"Yeah, that's right. Who are you?" Jun asked.
"His name's T.K. He's my little brother." Matt said.
"It's nice to meet you, Jun. Your younger brother and I are in the same class together." T.K said.
"Will you sign my shirt too? I get all the cute boys to sign and you're pretty cute yourself. You may not know it, but I haven't washed this shirt in two years." Jun said.
"There's not a lot of room." T.K said, trying to find a spot.
"I know. I think all boys are cute!" Jun said.
Beeping is heard and they turned around to check what to do.
Matt and T.K made it back to the computer room as Yolei typed on the computer.
"Back off, Davis! You're making me nervous!" Yolei said.
"Can't you go any faster?" Davis asked, getting impatient.
"She's going as fast as she can Davis." Dawn told him.
"Alright. The gate's open. Shall we go?" Yolei asked.
Davis holds up his Digivice. He, DemiVeemon, Cody, Upamon, T.K, Patamon, Kari, Gatomon, Ray, Gaomon and Matt go in.
They all fly in.
The Digidestined arrive in the Digital World and spot an unconscious Gabumon being tended too.
"Gabumon!" Matt exclaimed.
"Oh, Matt." Gabumon said.
"Gabumon, are you okay?" Matt asked.
"Let's just say I'll never look at steamed vegetables the same way." Gabumon said. "Oh, and I'd like you to meet my new friend."
The others wanted to know who this new friend was. Just then she came back and Ash and Dawn caught a glimpse of her.
"Hey, that's Serena!" Ash exclaimed.
"Pika." Pikachu said.
"Yeah, you're right Ash." Dawn agreed with him.
"Pip." Piplup said.
Serena then noticed Ash and Dawn.
"Ash, Dawn, Pikachu, Piplup. Boy am I glad to see you guys again." Serena said.
"Who's she?" Ray pointed at her.
"Her name's Serena. She traveled across the Kalos Region with Ash." Dawn explained who she was.
Serena wanted to know who the others were.
"Who are these people?" Serena asked.
"Serena we'd like you to meet T.K, Kari, Ray, Davis, Cody and Matt." Ash and Dawn turned to the Digidestined.
"Guys this is Serena, the Kalos Queen." The Digidestined quickly befriended her.
Serena then looked at the Digimon.
"Those are some strange Pokemon." Ray then coughed.
"They're actually called Digimon." He informed her. "And this is the Digital World."
Ash and Dawn then took out their Digivices.
"I thought I was the only one who had that." Serena displayed her Digivice.
"So you have one as well." Ray commented.
Ash and Dawn explained that they can combine with Pikachu and Piplup to become Voltachu and Atlantispoleon. Gabumon then informed them about everything that has been going on.
Gatomon saw the black tower from before.
"There's one of the things that scared the Gotsumon." Gatomon said.
"The Emperor calls them Control Spires." Gabumon said.
"Let's go!" Davis said. Ash stopped them.
"Hold it hotshot!" He said.
"Ash is right. We can't just rush in there. For all you know, he's in there waiting for us, and this whole thing could be some kind of ambush."
"All we have to do is Armor Digivolve and blow them apart." Davis said.
"It's not that simple! He might be using Digimon hostages as a shield to protect himself!" T.K shouted.
"T.K's right! We have to find a way to rescue the hostages and make sure no one gets hurt!" Kari agreed.
"Yeah, there's gotta be a way to save them." Dawn added.
"The Emperor is a cruel individual." Serena commented.
"They're being guarded by the Vegiemon. Watch out for the Digi-sludge." Patamon said.
"Patamon, tell us everything you know about RedVegiemon." Matt said.
"Okay!" Patamon said.
Davis leaned over to Cody.
"It looks like we're not needed here. Let's go off and do things our own way." He said.
"I think we should all stick together." Cody said.
Davis groaned. Everyone else followed Matt.
"Alright, I've got a plan to sneak into the prison." Matt said.
They then noticed Ash block their way. Davis assumed he was on his side.
"Matt wait. I've got a plan that will combine yours and mine." He stated.
"What exactly is your plan?" Ray questioned with a raised eyebrow.
Ash asked Dawn and Serena if he could borrow their fashion equipment. He then stood by a tree.
"What is he doing?" Kari asked.
"I don't know?" Cody shrugged his shoulders.
"Probably messing around." Davis guessed.
Then the Digimon Emperor came into view.
"Aah! It's him. Don't worry Kari, I'll save you." He was about to punch the Emperor when he was stopped by a voice.
"Hold on Davis." Ray advised. "You wanna remove the glasses."
Ash did just that.
"That's a good disguise." T.K said.
"Yeah, you look exactly like the Digimon Emperor." Kari said.
"That's right guys." Ash replied.
"So your plan is to go in disguised as the Digimon Emperor." Dawn remarked.
"In that case, let's go and along the way we'll hear Matt's part of the plan." Ash said.
"Pika." Pikachu said.
"Wait a minute!" Davis shouted. "It's too dangerous! We can't take the chance that anyone, especially Kari, might get hit with that Digi-sludge!"
"We've been attacked by a lot worse than Digi-sludge, right Kari?" T.K asked.
"Something tells me I don't even want to know about Digi-sludge." Ash said.
"Me either Ash." Dawn added.
"Pika." Pikachu said.
"Pip." Piplup said.
"I can't believe you're not worried about Kari's safety, T.A." Davis accused.
"T.A?" T.K asked.
"He forgot how to spell T.K." Cody said.
"More like he chose to misspell it. Anyway, we're wasting time." Ray told the others.
The Digidestined put Matt and Ash's plan into action.
"Stop right there! Identify yourselves!" One of the Vegiemon said before spotting the Digimon Emperor. They weren't aware it was a disguised Ash dragging Dawn, Serena and the Digidestined with their Digimon partners pretended they were under his control.
"Put those down you fools, I've captured the Digidestined." He ordered, mimicking the Emperor's voice.
"It's okay. We're one of his slaves now and we're just taking them to their cell." Gatomon said.
"Where are you taking us?" They kept walking until the coast was clear.
"Those guys didn't know those were plastic. The first set of guards were flunkies." Patamon said.
Ash nodded, and then they continued walking before being placed in the cell.
"Thanks for bringing the prisoners in Emperor, you're the best." The first Vegiemon said. Then he asked a question.
"Where's the one with the red cap and the mouse?"
"Right here." Ash said.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" He commanded.
The other Digimon, Piplup and Sylveon then went on the attack. Then the hostages and their friends were released from the cell.
"Your plan worked Ash." Dawn said.
He then removed his disguise.
"Yeah, but remind me to never do that again." He replied.
"Quiet! There are more guards!" Patamon said. They saw the Vegiemon were blocking their escape.
"Dang, you're right." Ash groaned.
"How are we going to leave now?" Dawn asked.
"I'm tired of hiding, let's fight!" Davis yelled.
"Easy there. You have to learn that fighting's not the only answer. It should be your last resort." Matt said.
"Let's go back this way! We'll come out on top, near the Control Spire." Gabumon said.
"Good idea." Patamon agreed.
T.K and Kari noticed Ash, Dawn and Serena weren't running away.
"What are you guys doing?" Kari asked.
"Get the hostages out of here. We'll handle the guards." Dawn told her.
"Follow Matt's plan. We'll be fine." Ash added.
"Pika." Pikachu said.
"Pip." Piplup said.
Davis was considering helping them.
"Do you guys need my help?" He asked.
"I'll be assisting them." Ray stepped forward and headed over to the three.
"Go back with the others. We're handling this." Ash said strongly.
"But-" Davis was cut off.
"Follow instructions." Ray insisted.
"Why won't anyone listen to me?" Davis asked.
"Good luck, guys." Kari said.
"Now then, let's get started."
The Digidestined headed up the hill.
"Those four are extremely courageous." Matt said. He then saw the Vegiemon coming their way.
"Ready." Ash said.
The other three nodded.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash shouted.
"Piplup, Drill Peck!" Dawn yelled.
"Sylveon, Moonblast!" Serena hollered.
"Gao Rush!" Gaomon threw a rapid-fire volley of punches.
The Vegiemon kept coming despite the attacks and they took out three more Poke Balls.
"Go Talonflame!" Ash threw his Poke Ball.
"Let's do this Togekiss." Dawn threw her Poke Ball.
"Go Noctowl!" Serena threw a Poke Ball.
The three flying type Pokemon emerged from the Poke Balls.
"Talonflame, Steel Wing!"
"Togekiss, use Aura Sphere!"
"Noctowl, use Quick Attack." The three flying types released their attacks.
Then Dawn heard a beeping noise and checked the source. It was her D-Terminal.
"Ash, our friends are in trouble." Dawn said.
"Time for us to Master Digivolve." A Vegiemon was about to get the drop on them. This caught Serena's eye.
"Oh no you don't." She declared. Vegiemon's attack connected with her instead.
"Serena, look out!" Ash and Dawn yelled as her Digivice began to glow along with Sylveon.
Ash, Dawn, Pikachu and Piplup followed suit.
"My turn." Ray commented as he produced the D.N.A Charge.
"Digimon!"
"Ash Master Digivolve to...!"
"Digimon Digital Monsters, Digimon are the Champions."
"Master Digivolve."
"Voltachu!"
"Digimon!"
"Dawn Master Digivolve to...!"
"Digimon Digital Monsters, Digimon are the Champions."
"Master Digivolve."
"Atlantispoleon!"
"Digimon!"
"Serena Master Digivolve to...!" She and Sylveon overlap and in their place was a humanoid Sylveon.
"Digimon Digital Monsters, Digimon are the Champions."
"Master Digivolve."
"Sylviknight!" Sylviknight announced.
"D.N.A Charge Overdrive!"
"Gaomon warp digivolve to...!" Gaomon spun around and turned into a large wolf adorned in blue armor. When it descended, the wolf slashed at the air with clawed gloves. "...MirageGaogamon!"
The four then quickly flew to the top of the tower to see RedVegiemon beating Veemon up.
"No matter what you do, I'll never give up!" Veemon said.
"No one said you had to." MirageGaogamon responded. Sylviknight wasn't far behind them.
"Who's she?" Kari asked.
(Digimon Analyzer)
"Sylvknight is the combined form of Serena and Sylveon. Like MirageGaogamon, she draws power from the moon."
"You four will be the main course." RedVegiemon said.
"You're certainly welcome to try." MirageGaogamon extended a clawed hand.
"Not if we make a salad out of you first." Atlantispoleon declared.
"Prepare to meet your funeral." RedVegiemon said.
RedVegiemon prepared to punch them, but they avoided it and he punched the Control Spire.
Gabumon then started to Digivolve.
"Gabumon digivolve to...Garurumon!"
"Gabumon, how did you digivolve?" Matt asked. Garurumon snarled, scaring the Vegiemon. They started to flee, freeing their captives. Davis looked right at his Digivice.
"Digi-Armor Energize!" Davis shouted.
"Veemon Armor Digivolve to..."
Veemon fuses with the DigiEgg and is engulfed by rings of fire that take shape as images of Agumon and all of his Digivolutions appear. Out of the fire, claws extend from his fists and then a spike from his helmet.
RedVegiemon fired his Chili Pepper Pummel at Flamedramon, but he blocked it with his claws.
"Flame Fist!" Flamedramon shouted, punching RedVegiemon.
"Boy, am I glad to see you, Flamedramon! It's time for a little payback! I think we should give this overgrown houseplant a REAL cooking lesson! Flamedramon, get him!" Davis said. Flamedramon prepares to fight.
"You want a piece of me?" RedVegiemon asked as he attempts to punch Flamedramon with his spiked limbs, but Flamedramon blocked his assault. Flamedramon slams RedVegiemon down on the ground, repeatedly.
"That hurt." RedVegiemon groaned.
"Volt Blast!"
"Aqua Trident!"
"Mooncalibur!"
"Gale Claw!"
"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon shouted, firing his attack. Flames engulfs RedVegiemon.
"I've heard of grilled vegetables before, but this is ridiculous before!" RedVegiemon said, falling on his back.
"You guys did it." Davis said as he ran over to them.
"Davis!" Yolei shouted. She, Tai, Izzy, Agumon, Hawkmon and the Gotsumon run over to the rest of the group.
"Garurumon!" Tai exclaimed.
"How were you able to Digivolve?" Agumon asked.
"I'm not quite sure." Garurumon said.
"You know what I think? When RedVegiemon's punch cracked the Control Spire, we were freed from it's power." Patamon deduced.
"They're certainly going to need a lot of glue." Hawkmon said.
"We should destroy the spire." Armadillomon said.
"I agree." Voltachu replied.
"Time for Armadillomon to armor Digivolve into Digmon, Cody." Atlantispoleon said.
"Digi Armor Energize!" Cody shouted.
"Armadillomon Armor Digivolve to…!"
Armadillomon quickly fuses with the Digi-egg and is engulfed by rings of rocks that take shape as images of Tentomon and all of his Digivolutions appear.
"Digmon, the Drill of Power!"
"Rock Cracking!"
"Volt Blast!"
"Aqua Trident!"
"Mooncalibur!"
"Full Moon Blaster!" All five shouted as their attacks destroy the Control Spire.
"Sorry, I forgot to yell 'Timber!'"
With the Control Spire destroyed, RedVegiemon and the Vegiemon were freed from the Digimon Emperor's control. RedVegiemon woke up, not remembering what happened.
"Woah...did I get married while I was asleep?" RedVegiemon asked, taking off his disabled Dark Ring. The Vegiemon took off their Dark Rings as well.
"Oh, now I see how it works!" Yolei said. Hawkmon flew up to her.
"May I inquire as to what you are talking about?" Hawkmon asked.
"The spire. It acted like an electricity rod. The Digmon Emperor set it up to send out power to all the Dark Rings, making it possible for him to control all the Digimon throughout the area. Isn't that right, Izzy?" Yolei asked.
"Yeah! I'm very impressed with your theory, Yolei." Izzy said.
"I wonder how many more Control Spires there are scattered around the Digital World." Tai said.
"All we know is they have to be destroyed." Matt said as Voltachu, Atlantispoleon and Sylvknight revert back into Ash, Dawn, Serena, Pikachu, Piplup and Sylveon.
"Who's she?" Yolei asked.
"This is Serena." Ray introduced her.
"She's a Digimaster just like Ash and Dawn." T.K said.
Serena displayed her Digivice.
"This is the first time I've seen Master Digivolution." Matt said.
"Well, whatever the number, one thing we know for sure is that they have to be destroyed. Quite a task for the new DigiDestined, don't you think?" Matt asked.
"Leave it to us! We can handle it!" T.K said.
"You've said it!" Davis agreed.
"I guess someone should take the Gotsumon back to their homes now." Agumon said.
"I'm all over it!" Gatomon said.
"Come on, I'll lead the way!" Tai said.
"I'm right behind you, big brother!" Kari said.
The Kamiya siblings and their Digimon partners went off to take the Gotsumon to their homes. Matt rides on Garurumon's back.
"Garurumon will stay here to protect you guys from the emperor." Matt said.
"Garurumon!" The Gazimon cheered.
After an exciting mission, the DigiDestined have returned except for Tai, Kari, and Gatomon.
"I'm glad the Gotsumon aren't staying with us anymore. Everytime they touched my CD's, they scratched them!" Yolei said.
"So this is where we're staying guys?" Serena asked.
"Yeah, we're not returning home until the Digimon Emperor is defeated." Ash told her.
"This way our world will be protected." Dawn added.
"Pika." Pikachu said.
"Pip." Piplup said.
"I agree with this idea." Serena remarked.
"Sylv." Sylveon said.
T.K approached Ash.
"Ash?" He asked.
"Yes T.K." Ash responded.
"It's possible there are two Digimasters left to find." T.K said.
"Most definitely. Serena is the third, so now we just have to find the last two." Ash confessed.
"We have to do it before the Digimon Emperor does." Dawn stated.
"Hey everyone, I really think you should take a look at this!" Izzy said, showing everyone the map of the Digital World.
Back in the Digital World, Agumon has Digivolved into Greymon and rammed a Control Spire, freeing the area from the Digimon Emperor's control.
"They don't make Control Spires like they used to." Greymon said.
"Way to go, Greymon! You're a one mon wrecking crew!" Tai said, giving his partner a thumbs up.
The Digimon Emperor is supervising the map of the Digital World.
"What? A Control Spire was destroyed? Must be those meddling kids and newcomers. Oh, well. It doesn't really matter. That area was pretty unimportant in the grand scheme of things. Within a year, I'll have every area under my full control. And then, finally every living thing in the Digital World will become my slave. That includes those kids, too." The Digimon Emperor laughed. Wormmon looked at him, worried.
Back in the real world...
Davis wanted to speak to Serena.
"I want to thank you for saving me and Veemon back in the Digital World." He said.
"No problem. What are friends for." Serena replied.
"Serena, you're welcome to stay at my place." Yolei offered.
She thought about it a little.
"Sure Yolei, that would be nice." Serena accepted her offer.
She and Yolei then left.
"Hey Davis, why did you decide to talk to Serena?" Ash asked him.
"Well Kari is with TJ and I found your friend to be cute." Davis confessed.
"Interesting. Who knows, you might not know if Serena likes you back." Ash said.
"That's right." Dawn nodded.
It was then the two noticed they were right next to each other before turning away with blushes on their faces.
'I think Ash likes Dawn. Those two will be a perfect couple.' Davis thought.
