"Legend of the Digidestineds"
Please enjoy and review!
"Hey, let's play a game with all the baby digimon!" TK suggested as he turned towards the swarm of digimon.
The babies then started bouncing and squeaking in distress which confused Daisuke as she cuddled Punimon in her arms who was burrowing himself closer to her chest for safety.
"Hey, what's wrong little guy?" she cooed.
"Okay, so you don't wanna play a game." TK said feeling a bit confused as to why the babies had gotten distressed.
Growling was then heard as a tall shadow was cast down from behind them, making Veemon and Patamon turn around to see what had caused it.
They both gasped when they spotted Leomon standing behind them, his blue eyes now white as he glared down at them.
"Leomon's come back!" Patamon exclaimed making TK and Daisuke gasp as they whirled around to see the lion.
"Nuts! Run!" Daisuke called as she grabbed TK and dived away from Leomon when he swung his knife at them.
Patamon flew away while Veemon glared at the lion who was under the influence of Devimon.
"We gotta get out of here!" Patamon cried.
The group then ran off away from the crazed lion and ducked behind a group of trees to hide as they caught their breath.
"He's scary." TK said quietly.
"Leomon's always been a good digimon. I just wish there was some way we could get rid of the black gear that's causing him to be so mean." Patamon said with a frown.
"That's easier said than done." TK said.
"We need to fight back. Veemon." Daisuke narrowed her eyes as she looked at her partner.
"I'm on it." Veemon nodded when they heard Leomon draw closer to them.
"Hello, you've got company." someone called making the two humans and their digimon turn.
Standing off from them was Ogremon who had grabbed a Poyomon hostage and the baby was whimpering in fear.
"You're a couple of nice little kids aren't cha? Get your hides overs here so I can get a good look at ya! 'Cause if ya don't, your little friend here is gonna squeak his last squeak." Ogremon threatened as he held his club at the baby.
"You creep! How dare you!" Daisuke glared at Ogremon.
"Now that's not right." Veemon said.
"Patamon, we gotta save him." TK said worried.
Roaring was then heard as Leomon used his knife to cut down the tree the group were hidding behind making them cry out as they jumped up and ran away.
"I've been commanded by my master to take the Digidestinds!" Leomon snarled as he raised his knife and was about to bring it down on the group.
"Veemon digivolve too...EXVEEMON!"
ExVeemon glared at Leomon as he then tackled the lion to the ground while Daisuke, TK and Patamon watched.
"Get him, ExVeemon!" Daisuke called.
Leomon punched ExVeemon off of him and the dragon used his tail to knock the lion onto the ground and his knife skidded away.
ExVeemon was then punched in the face making Daisuke gasp in worry as Punimon whined as he hid in the girl's chest.
The lion then punched his Fist of the Beast King at ExVeemon, sending the dragon skidding back as he braced himself against the attack.
"Howling Blaster!" someone cried out as blue flames were shot at Leomon surprising everyone.
"TK!" someone cried making the group turn around to see who had called out to them.
Matt was ridding on Garurumon, making their way towards their friends to help them.
"You came in time!" TK said smiling.
"Am I ever glad to see you." Daisuke grinned as Punimon cooed happily.
Garurumon then stopped in front of the group and Matt jumped down off of the blue wolf as he then made his way over to check on TK as he felt relieved that his brother had been safe with Daisuke this entire time.
"That was close." Matt said.
"Yeah." TK sighed as Garurumon then jumped over to ExVeemon so that he could help fight off Leomon and Ogremon.
"Now you've done it. This little guy's gonna get squished!" Ogremon said as Poyomon was sneakily taken out of his hand.
When the ogre looked down at his hand, he was surprised to see the baby digimon was missing.
"Hey, where'd he go?" Ogremon questioned himself.
"He's staying with us." a voice spoke up.
Turning around, Ogremon found Tai was standing behind him with a smirk on his face as he held Poyomon safely.
"Over my stinky arm pits he will." Ogremon threatened as he raised his club.
"Oh, I'm so scared. Get him, Greymon!" Tai said as Greymon walked up behind Ogremon, snarling.
Greymon used his Nova Blast and the flames went straight at Ogremon, but sadly he dodged it.
"Didn't anybody tell you not to play with fire? Someone could get hurt. Namely me! Now to educate you. I'll show you who's the head honcho on this island." Ogremon said.
Ogremon started jumping around Greymon, trying to smack him, but Greymon just whipped his tail at him, making him jump away.
"I could fight you blind folded!" Ogremon taunted.
Just then, black gears started to rain down from the sky and everyone gasped as they hit Leomon.
"The black gears!" Matt gasped.
Leomon cried out in pain as he glowed with a sick black and red light and then he started to grow bigger and darker.
Leomon and Garurumon both snarled at each other as the lion put his sword back in its holder.
"No! Turn back or he'll beat you to a pulp!" Matt yelled.
Leomon then fired off his Fist of the Beast King, hitting the blue wolf dead on.
"Are you okay?" Matt called to Garurumon, who was covered in rumble under the cliff.
Leomon then used his Fist of the Beast King on Greymon, sending the dinosaur flying back into Primary Village.
"No, we need you, Greymon!" Tai called as he ran over to his dinosaur.
"I told the guy not to play with fire." Ogremon smirked.
ExVeemon swooped in from the air and used his V Laser on Leomon, but it had little affect as the lion then swerved around and grabbed the dragon's tail and threw ExVeemon into a tree that broke from the dragon's weight.
"No, ExVeemon!" Daisuke gasped.
Leomon then turned to face TK and Daisuke making the little boy cling to the girl's vest as she glared at the black lion.
"I am your humble servant and will obey you, Devimon." Leomon spoke in a trance as he then started stalking over to the two.
"TK, Daisuke, look out!" Matt cried as he looked up from tending to Garurumon.
"What now, Matt?" TK asked fearfully.
Patamon then flew up and fired off his Boom Bubble to protect his partner, but the attack didn't affect or bother Leomon in the slightest.
Leomon then grabbed Patamon and held him in a tight hold.
"Patamon!" TK said with tears in his eyes as the little orange digimon struggled to get out of the grip.
"You let him go you ugly freak!" Daisuke yelled.
"Wanna fight? How about a prickly zam zoom!" someone said and then Togemon came and tackled Leomon, making him release Patamon as he hit the ground.
"Patamon!" TK said as he ran over and picked him up.
ExVeemon then got up and made his way over to his human who hugged one of his large arms in relief.
Kabuterimon then flew down from the sky with Mimi and Izzy on his back.
"Tai, you're never gonna believe this!" Izzy called down to the goggle wearing boy.
"What's happenin' Izzy?" Tai asked as Izzy and Mimi jumped off of Kabuterimon as they made their way over to Tai.
Matt ran over to TK and Daisuke while Leomon was still down to check on his brother.
"We have a consummate solution to all of our problems." Izzy said.
"That's cool, but what are you talkin' about?" Tai asked.
"Check 'em out." Mimi said as she got down and then she and Izzy both held out their digivices.
"They call them digivices. They have the capability to completely obliterate the black gear." Izzy said.
"Then let's give 'em a try. We have no other choice right now. We have to take a chance and stop him." Tai said as he began running over to where Leomon stood.
"Don't worry, I've got you covered, TK." Matt said as he stood protectively in front of his brother and Daisuke as Leomon started walking towards them.
"Ready for a real fight?" Tai asked making everyone look over at the boy as Leomon stopped walking to see what the human was going to do.
"What are you waiting for, booger breath? Come and get us if you dare." Tai taunted.
"Oh, great. Tai's lost his mind." Daisuke said.
"What's up, dude? Have you totally flipped out?" Matt asked shocked and confused by his friend's new found courage.
"I must do as I am commanded. Come here." Leomon growled as he reached out for the boy.
"Now!" Tai yelled as he held out his digivice.
The digivice then beeped as bright white light shone from the device and the light made Leomon cry out in pain as the black gears slowly started to leave his body.
Matt, TK and Daisuke gasped in surprise as they then knew what Tai had planned and Matt narrowed his eyes as he pulled out his own digivice.
"You know, these things pack quite a punch." Matt said as he stood beside Tai and held out his digivice as light shone from the device.
"How'd they do that? Rotten kids." Ogremon said.
"Ogremon, over here!" Izzy cried making the green guy look over.
"You've just begun to see our power. Electro Shocker!" Kabuterimon said releasing his attack.
Finally, the last of the black gears faded out of Leomon's body and were destroyed as the lion shrunk down to normal size as his natural color returned.
"That's that." Tai said.
"It worked! We destroyed the black gears!" Izzy cheered.
"We're safe now. Leomon's back to his normal self." TK cheered.
"What a relief." Daisuke chuckled as ExVeemon stood behind her.
(Later on...)
The group left Primary Village, Daisuke leaving behind a reluctant Punimon with his friends, as the Digidestineds followed Leomon.
He had then sat down under a large tree where he then started to tell them the legend of the Digidestineds.
"According to ancient legend, our world will be taken over by a strange dark force that will turn good digimon into bad ones. Our ancestors had predicted that a group of children called the Digidestinds will appear from another world. When they arrive, they will come to possess superb powers that will save our world from destruction. I believe their prediction has come true. File Island has been seized by an evil power, in danger of destruction and now you've appeared." Leomon explained.
"Whoa, that's amazing, but tell me, how can you be sure we're the kids you're talking about?" Tai asked.
"Yeah, do you have some proof that we're the same ones?" Matt asked.
"It's been foretold that the Digidestinds have the ability to make digimon digivolve. You've done that and it's all the proof I need." Leomon said.
"I, for one, hope that it's true." Izzy said making everyone look at him.
"My theory is that we will be released once we save the island. If our purpose is served, there is no other reason for us to remain." The redhead explained.
"And I'll finally be able to change these clothes." Mimi said.
"That's right. If Leomon's information is correct, we'll be heading straight for home." Izzy informed.
"I can't wait." Mimi said happily.
Daisuke simply giggled softly at the pink loving girl's one track mind.
"But how can we make it happen? We're not even sure who's causing it. What if it's a force that's too big for us to handle?" Matt asked as he looked over at Infinity Mountain.
"You see, Devimon is the main cause of all this evil. To save the island, you're going to have to defeat him." Leomon said.
"Let's go for it." Tai said standing up as everyone else all made sounds of protest or uncertainty.
"Come on everyone, why not? If we don't defeat him, then it'll never be over." Tai said as Izzy stood up.
"Fine with me. Besides, it's impossible for us to lose with the digivices." The redhead said as Mimi stood up too.
"First thing on my list when I get home is to do some killer shopping." She smiled.
"For that to happen, we have to get you back home." Palmon said.
"If we all work together, we're sure to win." Tentomon suggested.
"Let's beat this evil clown." Daisuke bounced up onto her feet.
"Yeah, I'm ready." Veemon grinned.
"I'm ready whenever you are, buddy?" Agumon said standing up too.
"How about it, Matt? Are we up to the challenge my friend?" Gabumon asked the older blonde, making him look down as he thought about it.
"It's gonna be tough. When you get down to it, we have no other choice." Matt said.
"Me too, right Patamon?" TK asked as he stood up.
"Right." Patamon laughed.
"All right then troops, let's get to it." Leomon commanded.
"Far out, it's a done deal." Tai smiled.
The final battle between Devimon and the Digidestineds was about to begin.
Hopefully, Sora and Joe would make their way to File Island soon enough to help their friends out.
Leomon had found a boat and everyone climbed inside as they stared ahead at the island they were sailing towards.
"Devimon is very powerful. He's brought nothing but trouble to File Island. We must be careful." Leomon warned as he steered the boat closer to the island.
Once the boat was docked, the lion helped the humans and Rookies climb out of the boat and up onto the island as they started walking towards the mountain.
Suddenly, black gears started to swarm around the island as a dark cloud formed around the tip of Infinety Mountain.
Then, the sky darkened as the ground began to quake making the group cry out in surprise as they tried to steady themselves.
"Can't turn back now." Tai cried over the rumbling.
On the top of the mountain, a larger Devimon broke through the roof of his base making everyone gasp at the size of the demonic digimon.
"What in the world is that?" Mimi asked.
"It must be Devimon." Tai said.
"I didn't expect him to be such a big guy." Palmon spoke up.
"He must have been working out since we last saw him." Daisuke quipped.
"Bad guys always seem to think bigger is better." Izzy commented.
"Afraid not. The power that Devimon possess is emence, so be careful." Leomon warned as he appeared worried.
Devimon then spread his wings and took to the air making everyone stare at the evil creature as he made his way down the mountain.
"He's here!" Tai cried as Devimon flew over their heads and landed in forest behind them.
"Uh, Agumon, you better digivolve." Tai said nervously.
"Right." Agumon whimpered.
Spinning around, Devimon created a gust from his body's movements that sent the Digidestineds and their digimon flying back into the mounatin while Leomon braced himself against the attack.
Raising his hand towards the group, Devimon then unleashed a blast of black energy that paralyzed the group making them cry out in pain as electricity surged through their bodies.
Leomon pulled out his knife to attack Devimon, but the demon held out his other hand and sent a blast of dark energy at the lion, sending him back as well.
"You are fools. Don't expect me to play silly games with you, I'm far too wise for that." Devimon said.
Everyone cried out as they struggled to move or run away, but couldn't.
"Harpoon Torpedo!" a familiar voice cried out.
Lights were then seen shooting up into the air as Devimon was surprisingly hit by the attack, stunning him long enough to release the Digidestineds who fell to the ground.
"That's a bull's eye, Ikkakumon." Joe said as he stood with his partner below the mountain.
Birdramon then soared through the sky as she released her Meteor Wing on Devimon, making him groan in pain.
"That...was aweful." Daisuke panted as she shook off the dark energy that was still lapping at her nervous system.
Sora then ran towards her downed friends, worry written across her face.
"Quick everybody, there's no time to waste! We've got to strike rigth away." Sora called.
"Digivolve!" Tai said looking at Agumon.
"You got it. Ready, gang?" Agumon asked.
"Mm-hmm." the other digimon nodded.
"Agumon digivolve too...GREYMON!"
"Yeah, go Greymon!" Tai called.
"Gabumon digivolve too...GARURUMON!"
"Let's turn this guy into pudding." Matt said.
"Tentomon digivolve too...KABUTERIMON!"
"My biology teacher would love this." Izzy commented.
"Palmon digivolve too...TOGEMON!"
"I do like the way our colors match." Mimi said.
"Veemon digivolve too...EXVEEMON!"
"Go get him, ExVeemon!" Daisuke cried.
Greymon started the fight off with his Nova Blast and Garurumon followed up with Howling Blaster as he pounced on Devimon, sinking his fangs into his arm.
"I think he's got him." Tai said.
Devimon then threw Garurumon down and the wolf landed on top of Greymon.
"Oh no!" Matt gasped.
"Your attacks are pitiful. I'm afraid you'll have to try harder than that." Devimon taunted.
Kabuterimon then fired off his Electro Shocker.
"So, you want a Needle Spray, do ya?" Togemon asked as she then released the needles from her body.
"Give up you fools, it's useless!" Devimon said as he hit Togemon down from the mountain and threw Kabuterimon into the sky.
"Oh, poor Togemon!" Mimi exclaimed.
"Kabuterimon!" Izzy called.
Leomon roared as he charged at Devimon's back, knife at the ready.
"You're mine now!" Leomon cried.
Then, Ogremon sprung out of Devimon's back stunning Leomon.
"You!" Leomon exclaimed.
"You've got no chance against the likes of us, kitty cat." Ogremon taunted as Leomon growled at him.
Leomon was then blasted by a dark beam of energy by Ogremon who laughed as the lion was flung back into the forest.
Devimon was squeezing Birdramon as the large bird squeaked as she tried to free herself and ExVeemon swooped in to help.
"You're not worth my time." Devimon said.
"Birdramon!" Sora called.
"Out of my sight!" Devimon threw Birdramon away.
She hit Greymon and Garurumon, the force making the three Champions slide down the mountain side.
ExVeemon then used his V Laser to blast Devimon in the back of the head and the demonic digimon grunted in pain as he turned around to face the dragon.
"I'm going to make sure you stay extinct!" Devimon said as he grabbed the dragon.
Growling, ExVeemon then used Critical Crunch and bit Devimon's hand making him cry out as he dropped ExVeemon who spun and whipped Devimon in his face with his tail.
"Go, ExVeemon!" Daisuke cheered.
"Hold still!" Devimon growled as he back handed ExVeemon and he slammed into the mountain.
"No!" Daisuke gasped.
"You're next." Devimon said as he grabbed Ikkakumon.
"Ikkakumon!" Joe called as Devimon threw the white furry beast at Kabuterimon, sending them both back.
"Oh boy! There's nobody left. What do we do, Patamon?" TK asked looking terrified.
Devimon then swerved around to stare down at the little blonde boy.
"Now to get rid of you. Then I'll have nothing fear. They saw the smallest will destroy me and I'm not going to let that happen." Devimon declared as he reached out towards the boy.
"Don't move. Make it easy on both of us." Devimon said as TK and Patamon whimpered.
Daisuke then ran in front of the two, blocking them from Devimon.
"Don't touch them!" she glared up at the demonic digimon.
ExVeemon then flew in and punched Devimon in the face as Matt ran over with Garurumon who pounced on on Devimon, sinking his fangs into the evil digimon's shoulder.
"TK, run!" Matt cried.
Standing up, Greymon grabbed onto one of Devimon's legs and sunk his fangs in as he tried to hold him down.
Birdramon attacked Devimon's face while Kabuterimon grabbed one of Devimon's arms and Ikkakumon attached himself to the giant's other leg and ExVeemon was pulling on his wings while Togemon jumped up on one of Devimon's legs.
"You seem to forget; I am Devimon, supreme master of this island and I have power over all digimon. And no one can defeat me!" Devimon yelled.
A blast was created around his body, sending all the digimon and humans flying back from the force.
"Whoa, that guy knows how to take it out of ya." Greymon commented as he lied on the ground.
"I can't move. Even my needles feel numb." Togemon rasped.
"Now's probably not a good time to take a nap." Kabuterimon said as Ikkakumon groaned in pain.
"This is bad." Tai said with a shaky voice.
"Matt!" TK cried as he clung to Daisuke who was holding him in her lap protectively as she glared up at Devimon.
"You will be mine." Devimon said.
"Hey, get ready to run." Matt whispered over to his brother as Devimon reached out for the boy once again.
Patamon, determined to protect his partner, flew up and released his Boom Bubble at Devimon's hand to stop him, but it didn't work.
Tears started to fall from Patamon's eyes as a fearful TK clung to Daisuke who was struggling to stand, but she was in pain from the backlash of Devimon's attack.
"Patamon, help!" TK whimpered.
"i'll save you, TK!" Patamon called as he flew down and Devimon clenched his fist around the little Rookie's body.
"Hang on, pal!" Matt cried.
Then, TK's digivice finally glowed as Patamon was covered in light, stunning everyone as they stared on.
"What?" Devimon's eyes grew wide as he then shouted in pain as he released the glowing orb as it rose into the sky.
"What's that?" Mimi asked.
"It's a..." Izzy trailed off.
"It's Patamon. He must be digivolving." Sora said.
"Well, he sure took his sweet time." ExVeemon complained as he sat up.
"Finally." Daisuke sighed.
The TK from her time never explained how or when Patamon finally digivolved, so she was excited to see the little Rookie's first evolution and first real battle.
"Patamon digivolve too...ANGEMON!"
"Hey, Patamon finally digivolved!" Joe exclaimed with Ikkakumon at his side.
Everyone stared up at the handsome angel digimon in awe as he glowed with pure energy in the darkness.
"That's super cool." Sora said.
"Not bad. That little guy really had it in him." Matt commented.
"Nice hair. Good color." Mimi spoke up.
"I wanna take him home with me." TK said as he stared up at his angel.
"Now Devimon's in for it." Daisuke grinned.
"What's this? Another foolish attempt?" Devimon asked as he stared at Angemon.
"The forces of good are more powerful. Even you can't stop us. I'll destroy you and bring peace to the island." Angemon said as he raised his staff that he held.
Just then, all the digivices glowed as they sent out pillars of lights to Angemon as all the Champions returned to their Rookie forms.
"That light is so bright. What are you doing to me? Stop it! I'm not going to allow you to take my power away! You'll have to fight me!" Devimon shouted.
"I'm afraid I have no other choice." Angemon said as he twirled his staff above his head.
"If I can help others, my fate is unimportant." He said.
"Angemon!" TK cried out.
"Your powers have gotten far out of control and must be extinguished. I am ready to fight for peace." Angemon said as he held out his staff in a fighting stance.
Ogremon then shot out of Devimon's chest, trying to get the angel, but he was driven back by the yellow light that was glowing from the staff.
"Now you've done it." Devimon gritted his teeth.
Angeomon's staff shrunk and then became an orange light that glowed around his right fist.
"Be careful!" TK yelled as Devimon laughed and went over to Angemon.
"I'll get him, relax." Angemon spoke in a soft, comforting voice to TK and that made tears appear in the blonde boy's eyes.
"Come here, pretty boy." Devimon said as he began to close his clawed hands over him.
"I'll stop you!" Angemon said as he sent out the blast of light right through the evil digimon.
Everyone was blinded by the light as they covered their eyes, but soon enough the brightness faded away allowing everyone to see what had happened.
Both Angemon and Devimon were slowly breaking down into data particles.
"You have used up all your power. That wasn't very smart, Angemon. Now you are no use to anyone. You can't get away from the dark forces. Evil is everywhere, so don't savour your victory. There are other digimon that are just as powerful as I am. Some of them are even stronger. I wonder what you'll do when you run into them. You haven't won at all. What a waste of time!" Devimon laughed as he was finally gone.
"Angemon!" TK cried making the angel look back at his partner.
"TK, I'll come back again. If you want me to." Angemon said as he smiled.
And then, the last of the data faded away as pure white feathers floated in the sky.
"ANGEMON!" TK yelled with tears falling down his face.
Jumping into Daisuke's arms, the boy wailed into her chest and she hugged him tightly to comfort him as everyone stood and began to gather around.
"TK, don't cry. Angemon won't be gone forever. He'll come back. He said so." Daisuke reminded the boy.
Just then, some white feathers from Angemon's wings floated down from the sky towards the two humans, making them pull apart as they watched in awe as they glowed and became a digi egg that was white with orange stripes.
"What do ya know, it's a digi egg." Tentomon commented.
"Do you think it could be Angemon?" TK asked hopefully.
"I know it is. He's just resting for a while to regain his strength." Gabumon said.
"But don't worry. You'll see him again when he digivolves." Palmon assured.
"Digimon don't really die. We just go away for a while, but we always come back." Veemon smiled as he walked up beside his human.
"I'll make sure to take real good care of him. You saved my life Angemon." TK said as he picked up the egg and hugged it.
"Huh? Look, the island is coming back together again." Sora pointed out.
Pieces of land were drifting back towards the island, fixing itself.
"Exactly, Devimon's been defeated. When he was eliminated the islands returns to its original state." Izzy said.
"What's with those other evil digimon across the sea?" Matt asked as he remembered what Devimon had said.
"Yeah, I thought we were going home." Joe said in confusion.
"I don't wanna have to fight again. Oh, I think I broke a nail." Mimi groaned.
"Oh, Mimi..." Daisuke sighed.
"Well, according to Leomon's legend, we gotta do it. Remember, he said we're the Digidestinds." Tai said.
"Something's happening." Joe said as some rocks moved and showed this weird metal thing from under it.
Rainbow light shot up and an old man appeared in the light.
"Huh. I've heard of you kids. And I must say I'm pleased." The old man said.
Everyone stared in shock and confusion at the old man, but Daisuke and Veemon had a good feeling they knew who he was.
"Excuse me, sir, tell me, who are you and what do you want?" Tai asked him.
To be continued...
