Before we begin this chapter, I thought I shall shed some light on the matter of the previous chapter. My Pokémon: Sora and Kairi's Journey universe is totally different from the anime storyline of Yukio Oikawa, Arukenimon, and Mummymon showing up right up to when Myotismon revealed himself and Digivolved into MaloMyotismon, but there will be a sequel to this one after I get some of my other fics over and done with. Also, I figured Hollow Bastion playing a role in this fic would fit so much since it'll reclaim its old name at the end of this fic. Anyway, enjoy this chapter.

Shortly after retrieving Brian's message in Hollow Bastion, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Max, Tai, Matt, Sora T, Izzy, Mimi, Joe, TK, Kari, Davis, Ken, Yolei, Cody, Amy, Pikachu, Angel, Eevee, Azurill, Xipak, Celeste, Agumon, Gabumon, Biyomon, Tentomon, Palmon, Gomamon, Patamon, Gatomon, Veemon, Wormmon, Hawkmon, Armadillomon, and Lunamon, went back to searching for their missing friends in the Digital World.

Elsewhere, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Takato, Henry, Rika, Jeri, Kazu, Kenta, Ryo, Suzie, Marill, Guil, Guilmon, Terriermon, Renamon, Elecmon, Kokowamon, Penguinmon, Monodramon, Lopmon, Impmon, and Calumon are doing the same thing.

And elsewhere, Brendan, May, Takuya, Koji, JP, Zoe, Tommy, Koichi, Zach, Marina, Jason, Patrick, Lisia, Munchlax, Mime Jr, Bokomon, and Neemon are also doing the same thing.

They had to reunite as soon as possible and put a stop to Devimon and his evil plans.

As Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Takato, Henry, Rika, Jeri, Kazu, Kenta, Ryo, Suzie, Marill, Guil, Guilmon, Terriermon, Renamon, Elecmon, Kokuwamon, Monodramon, Lopmon, Impmon, and Calumon came across some Unversed and fought them.

"Pyro Sphere!" Guilmon shouted, firing his attack, destroying the Unversed.

"Blazing Fire!" Terriermon shouted.

"Diamond Storm!" Renamon shouted.

Terriermon and Renamon unleashed their attacks and destroyed the Unversed.

"Super Thunder Strike!" Elecmon shouted, firing a stream of thunder, hitting the Bruisers.

"Eat some of this!" Impmon shouted, shooting out fireballs from his fingertips.

They fought their way through the Unversed, unaware of BlackGuilmon, BlackTerriermon, and Yokaimon catching up to them.

"There he is," BlackGuilmon said.

"That red Digimon is the one who roughed you up before?" BlackTerriermon asked.

"That's him. He won't get away with it," BlackGuilmon said.

"Well, if that guy is who you want, the one with the ears is mine," BlackTerriermon said.

"Then, I have the yellow fox," Yokaimon said.

"It's about time we had on that red Digimon and his pathetic friends, here and now!" BlackGuilmon hissed.

"Then, let's give them a proper greeting," Yokaimon said, jumping up. "Dark Diamond Storm!" She sends out a darker version of Renamon's Diamond Storm, sending them to attack them. The blackened leaves destroyed the Unversed, leaving only the others.

"Who did that?" Ethan asked.

"Look!" Lyra said, pointing to the three evil Digimon.

"BlackGuilmon again?" Leaf asked.

"And it looks like he has a couple of friends," Kris said.

"Who are they?" Suzie asked.

"They look like Terriermon and Renamon, but it's like looking into an evil mirror," Ash said.

"I think I'll introduce you to them. On my left is BlackTerriermon, and on my right is Yokaimon," BlackGuimon said.

"BlackTerriermon?" Henry asked.

"Yokaimon?" Rika asked.

"Is there an echo out here?" Impmon asked.

"If there is, then that echo will be the sounds of your dying screams!" BlackGuilmon growled.

"Wow, this guy is darker than you, Impmon," Terriermon said.

"Yeah, and that's what makes him fun to hang out with. You should cut your loss with those losers and just try out for being evil," BlackTerriermon said.

"Yeah, I could do that on the day Guilmon stops dreaming of food," Terriermon said.

"I agree. We will never join with the likes of you," Renamon said.

"What was that about, BlackTerriermon? The idea is to kill them, not brainwash them," Yokaimon said.

"Hey, just trying it on," BlackTerriermon said.

"Enough! Let's do what we came here to do!" BlackGuilmon said.

"Right," BlackTerriermon and Yokaimon said.

All three Digimon began to give off a dark glow, much to their horror as they knew what they were doing.

"BlackGuilmon Digivolve to..."

"BlackTerriermon Digivolve to..."

"Yokaimon Digivolve to..."

BlackGuilmon, BlackTerriermon, and Yokaimon have become the darker versions of Growlmon, Gargomon, and Kyubimon. This Digimon's coloring is the same as BlackGuilmon. BlackTerriermon's Champion form has dark brown fur to go with his black fur on his head. And Yokaimon's form has become blue furred fox.

"BlackGrowlmon!"

"BlackGargomon!"

"Youkoumon!"

"Well, two teams can play this game!" Terrieron said.

"Right!" Henry agreed.

Calumon's forehead glowed as Guilmon, Terriermon, Renamon, Elecmon, Kokuwuamon, Penguinmon, Monodramon, and Lopmon has begun to Digivolve.

"Guilmon Digivolve to..."

"Terriermon Digivolve to..."

"Renamon Digivolve to..."

"Elecmon Digivolve to..."

"Kokuwamon Digivolve to..."

"Penguinmon Digivolve to..."

"Monodramon Digivolve to..."

"Lopmon Digivolve to..."

"Growlmon!"

"Gargomon!"

"Kyubimon!"

"Leomon!"

"Guardromon!"

"Dolphmon!"

"Strikedramon!"

"Toruiemon!"

"Eight against three. Hardly a fair fight," BlackGargomon said.

"This won't be a fair fight," Youkomon said.

"She's right. Let's fight as dirty as possible," BlackGrowlmon said.

With that said, the three evil Digimon engaged their opponents as Growlmon, Gargomon, Kyubimon, Leomon, Guardromon, Dolphmon, Strikedramon, and Toruiemon engaged them. Growlmon and Leomon engaged BlackGrowlmon as Kyubimon and Strikedramon engaged Youkomon, and Gargomon, Guardromon, Dolphmon, and Turiemon engaged BlackGargomon.

"You guys hungry? How about you eat some of these? Gargo Pellet!" BlackGargomon shouted.

"I don't think so! Gargo Laser!" Gargomon shouted, firing at BlackGargomon's attack and blocked it. "I got this Turuiemon! You jump him while I got his attention! Hurry up!"

"Right!" Turuiemon said, heading right for BlackGargomon with her gauntlets. Gauntlet Claw!" Turuiemon shouted, coming at BlackGargomon with her gauntlets. BlackGargomon shoots at her.

"Nice try, but that ain't close to good enough," BlackGargomon said.

"Let's try this!" Guardromon shouted, aiming his arms as missiles shot out. "Guardian Barrage!" He fired it right at BlackGargomon.

"Me too! Pulse Blast!" Dolphmon shouted, firing a soundwave attack. BlackGargomon fired at them while firing at Gargomon. His attack hits them both.

"Guardromon!" Kazu gasped.

"Dolphmon!" Kenta exclaimed.

Growlmon and Leomon charges right at BlackGrowlmon.

"Fist of the Beast King!" Leomon roared as he fired a lion-head aura attack from his fist at BlackGrowlmon.

"Pyro Blaster!" Growlmon roared as he fired his attack at his evil double. BlackGrowlmon had a different plan.

"Plasma Blade!" BlackGrowlmon snarled, slashing both Growlmon and Leomon's attacks. "Exhaust Flame!" BlackGrowlmon sends out a massive fire attack. Growlmon and Leomon scattered.

Kyubimon and Strikedramon engages Youkomon with their own attacks.

"Fox Tail Interno!" Kyubimon shouted, sending fox-like fireballs from her nine tails.

"Strike Claw!" Strikedramon shouted as he rushes toward Youkomon. She dodged both of their attacks and she unleashes her own attacks.

"Tail Flame!" Youkomon shouted, sending out her own Fox Tail Inferno. They collide their attacks. Kyubimon and Youkomon jumped up and rolled into the air.

"Dragon Wheel!" Kyubimon shouted.

"Jaenryū!" Youkomon shouted.

They unleashed a dragon-like flame and send it at each other, clashing against each other, resulting in an explosion.

"Evenly matched!" Leaf said.

"Not even close! This yellow upstart is nowhere near my level!" Youkomon said.

"Even when we're both in the Champion level?" Kyubimon asked.

"Even that!" Kyubimon said.

The evil trio of Digimon charged head-on into the other eight and engaged. BlackGrowlmon gave Leomon a kick as BlackGargomon gave Dolphmon a punch. Guardromon ran toward BlackGargomon, but he uppercuts the robot-like Digimon. Calumon's forhead began to glow, allowing the Digimon to Digivolve.

"Growlmon Digivolve to..."

"Gargomon Digivolve to..."

"Kyubimon Digivolve to..."

"Leomon Digivolve to..."

"Strikedramon Digivolve to..."

"Guardromon Digivolve to..."

"Dolphmon Digivolve to..."

"WarGrowlmon!"

"Rapidmon!"

Kyubimon has transformed into a humanoid Digimon with fox-like characteristics. She wears a white onmyōji robe with vertical plates on the shoulders, the Sanskrit character emblazoned on the front, the yin-yang symbol on the chest and shoulder plates, and red and white triangles on the ends of the sleeves. She also wears baggy purple pants, and a tall, black and purple hat. She has white, three-fingered hands and white, three-toed feet with black claws and black paw pads in both instances.

He carries his sword in the back on his belt.

"IceLeomon!"

"Cyberdramon!"

Guardromon transformed into a mechanical Digimon with a humanoid body structure. Roughly 3/4 of his body is covered in chrome armor. His right leg has little to no armor at all, leaving what seems to be his organic material exposed. He wears a skull-like helmet.

"Andromon!"

"Whamon!"

Turuiemon tranformed into a tall, thin, bipedal rabbit Digimon notable for her long arms with large forearms which have a cream-colored diamond and bars on them. She has red plating on her torso and wears a mantle and baggy, footed pants with tails. She is brown with a cream-colored face with three horns and the tips of her ears are pink. She is depicted with a purple scarf while her mantle is white with spaulders, gold trim, and an emblem with bonji on it. Additionally, her pants are lilac in coloration.

"Antylamon!"

"BlackGrowlmon Digivolve to..."

"BlackGargomon Digivolve to..."

"Youkoumon Digivolve to..."

BlackGrowlmon has become a black pallet swap of WarGrowlmon, but the markings on his body are yellow.

"BlackWarGrowlmon!"

BlackGargomon has become a pallet swap of Rapidmon. His upper body is covered in black metal except for its face, the base of its ears, its midsection, and its thighs which are covered in chocolate color fur. Its muzzle is covered in a facial mask.

"BlackRapidmon!"

Youkomon has become a humanoid Digimon with fox-like characteristics. It wears a white onmyōji robe with vertical plates on the shoulders, the Sanskrit character emblazoned on the front, the yin-yang symbol on the chest and shoulder plates, and black and white triangles on the ends of the sleeves.

"Doumon!"

"Once again, the mirror or evil," Ethan said.

"You took the words out of my mouth," Ash said.

"Atomic Blaster!" WarGrowlmon shouted, firing red energy from his chest.

"Atomic Blaster!" BlackWarGrowlmon shouted. firing black energy from his chest.

"Rapid Fire!" Rapidmon shouted, rapidly firing homing missiles from its revolver and both of its arms.

"Rapid Fire!" BlackRapidmon shouted, homing missiles from its revolver and both of its arms as well.

"Talisman of Light!" Taomon shouted, painting the Sanskrit character "Hūṃ" in the air with its gigantic brush, then hurls it at her evil twin. Doumon dodged it. "Thousand Spells!" Taomon sends out many scrolls right at her.

"Exorcisim Scrolls!" Doumon shouted, sending out many scrolls, same as Taomon. They collide with one another.

"Frozen Hunter!" IceLeomon shouted, sending out an ice version of Fist of the Beast King.

"Lightning Blade!" Andromon shouted, spinning his hand and fired it.

"Radiation Claw!" Cyberdramon shouted, rushing at Doumon.

"Blasting Spout!" Whamon shouted, firingba blast of water from his blowhole.

"Bunny Blade!" Antylamon shouted, charging with her hands turned into axe blades.

"Atomic Blaster!" BlackWarGrowlmon shouted.

"Rapid Fire!" BlackRapidmon shouted.

"Exorcisim Scrolls!" Doumon shouted.

The Ultimate level Digimon fought fiercely against the three evil Digimon, so Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, and Lyra summoned their Keyblades and joined in the fight against them. Kris casts a music spell, sending out music notes right at Doumon as Ethan and Lyra casts a fire and blizzard spell at BlackRapidmon. Ash and Leaf slashed at BlackWarGrowlmon.

"You think that'll be enough to hurt me?" BlackWarGrowlmon growled.

"Just enough to distract you," Ash said as WarGrowlmon rammed into BlackWarGrowlmon. They clashed their bladed arms against one another like they were swords. They kept it up until BlackWarGrowlmon gained an upperhand.

It was the same for BlackRapidmon and Doumon.

"Golden Triangle!" BlackRapidmon shouted, firing an energy beam from his body and sends it at Rapidmon, hitting him.

"Exorcisim Scrolls!" Doumon shouted, sending out more scrolls at Doumon.

"Atomic Blaster!" BlackWarGrowlmon fired an Atomic Blaster, hitting WarGrowlmon. WarGrowlmon, Rapidmon, and Taomon De-Digivolved back to their Rookie forms.

"Guilmon!" Takato gasped.

"Terriermon!" Henry gasped.

"Renamon!" Rika exclaimed.

Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, and Marill came to their rescue, but Doumon smacked them. IceLeomon, Andromon, Whamon, and Turuiemon did the same thing, but BlackRapidmon did the same thing.

"Time to finish this," BlackWarGrowlmon said. He prepared to blast the three Digimon.

"Guys, we gotta do what we didn't do for a while!" Takato said.

"You're right, Takato. It's our only hope," Ryo said as he, Takato, Henry, and Rika took out their Digivices and they began to glow.

"Biomerge Activate!" Takato, Henry, Rika, and Ryo shouted as a bright light shines around them.

"Guilmon Biomerge to..."

"Terriermon Biomerge to..."

"Renamon Biomerge to..."

"Cyberdramon Biomerge to..."

"Biomerge?" Ash asked.

Takato and Guilmon merged into an archetypal armored knight. His body is encased all over in white armor with red parts on its pauldrons, poleyns, end of his vambraces and the ankle plate of his sabatons as well as gold trimming. He wears a huge, flowing, red cape. His helmet contains Guilmon's face as a crest. He wields a circular shield called the Aegis and a huge lance called Gram. his cuirass and poleyns are adorned with the symbol of the Digital Hazard, its crest, gorget, and Aegis bear the Zero Unit.

"Galantmon!"

Henry and Terriermon merged into a titanic robotic Digimon with a canine motif. His arsenal of weapons systems and huge size gives him the appearance of a mecha. His face resembles that of the St. Bernard breed of dog, wearing a helmet with a spike protruding from the forehead. On his shoulders rest a pair of massive missiles with scowling rabbit-like faces. He has a pair of long airplane-like wings for ears. His feet and wrists are connected by thin, loose wire-like cords, and its lower midsection consists of a tunic-like attire covering it. He wears a pair of minigun-like gauntlets and his ankles wrapped in spiked collars. His ears bear the Zero Unit.

"MegaGargomon!"

Rika and Renamon merged into a tall humanoid Digimon. Most of her body is covered in black, skin-tight fabric. She wears knee-high, purple and yellow boots with the yin-yang symbol on the instep, and purple and yellow gauntlets with the yin-yang symbol displayed on the backs of the hands. She also wears a yellow cuirass and shoulder guards (the latter of which have the yin-yang symbol emblazoned upon them), and a yellow, traditional kitsune-style half mask which obscures her human-like face. She also has ankle-length silver hair tied into pigtails, and carries a long, gold staff with several rings adorning the tip called Kongou Shakujou. Her gloves bear the Zero Unit.

"Sakuyamon!"

Ryo and Cyberdramon merged into a blue and white Android Digimon with a mechanical arm and a red bandana.

"Justimon!"

BlackWarGrowlmon's attack is deflected by Gallantmon's shield.

"What the?! You deflected that?!" BlackWarGrowlmon exclaimed.

"You didn't tell us that they can Digivolve all the way to the Mega level!" BlackRapidmon said.

"I didn't know they can!" BlackWarGrowlmon said.

"Look at that. Guilmon, Renamon, Terriermon, and Cyberdramon have Digivolved right into the Mega level," Kris said.

"But where did Takato, Ryo, Rika, and Henry go?" Lyra asked.

"They're right here," Jeri said, pointing to the three Mega level Digimon.

"Seriously?" Leaf asked.

"So that's what they meant by Biomerge. They've combined with their partners," Ash said.

"Whoa," Ethan said at awe.

"Char," Guil said.

"Well, two can play this game! BlackWarGrowlmon Digivolve to..."

"BlackRapidmon Digivolve to..."

"Doumon Digivolve to..."

The three evil Digimon Digivolved into darker versions of the Mega levels that just appeared.

"ChaosGallantmon!"

"BlackMegaGargomon!"

"Kuzuhamon!"

"You think you're the only one who can pull it off? You might as well just think again, because you're nowhere near as powerful as me, you crimson impostor," ChaosGallantmon said. His arm converted into his lance. "Demons Disaster!" He fired a black stream of energy from his lance. Gallantmon aimed it at his evil double.

"Lightning Joust!" Gallantmon shouted with Takato and Guilmon's voice talking at the same time. Gallantmon shouted, firing a blue beam from his javelin, blocking ChaosGallantmon's attack. The collision ends with an explosion, so the two Digimon charged at each other with their lances out.

MegaGargomon and BlackMegaGargomon approached each other. MegaGargomon lands the first punch as BlackMegaGargomon lands the next one. They grabbed each other by the shoulders, holding into each other.

"You think you can keep this up for long?" BlackMegaGargomon asked.

"We know we can, BlackMegaGargomon," MegaGargomon said with Henry and Terriermon's voice talking at the same time.

"We?" BlackMegaGargomon asked.

"As in me and Henry," Terriermon said from inside.

"And when we work together, there's nothing we can't do together as one," Henry said, also inside.

"I heard of seeing double, but I didn't think I'd be hearing double. Doesn't matter, because you'll make a very loud crash once I shoot you down!" BlackMegaGargomon said.

"Bring it on!" MegaGargomon said.

Sakuyamon and Kuzuhamon clashed their staves against each other.

"I have to admit, I underestimated you, but can you hope to survive a direct fight against me?" Kuzuhamon asked.

"How about find out for ourselves," Sakuyamon said with both Rika and Renamon's voices talking at once. "Spirit Strike!" Sakuyamon summons four fox-like spirits, one being red, one being blue, one being yellow, and one being green. The spirits head right at Kuzuhamon. She twirls her staff to deflect it.

They stand and stare at each other, knowing only one team will be walking away on this day.

Meanwhile, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Max, Tai, Matt, Sora T, Izzy, Mimi, Joe, TK, Kari, Davis, Ken, Yolei, Cody, Amy, Pikachu, Angel, Eevee, Azurill, Xipak, Celeste, Agumon, Gabumon, Biyomon, Tentomon, Palmon, Gomamon, Patamon, Gatomon, Veemon, Wormmon, Hawkmon, Armadillomon, and Lunamon kept on running as a bunch of Luna Bandits appeared and launched their attack. Sora summoned his Kingdom Key, Kairi summoned her Destiny's Embrace, Riku summoned his Braveheart, and Naminé summoned her Oathkeeper to fight them. The Digimon even joined in the fray against them.

Agumon, "Pepper Breath!"

Gabumon, "Blue Blaster!"

Biyomon, "Spiral Twister!"

Tentomon, "Super Shocker!"

Palmon, "Poison Ivy!"

Gomamon, "Marching Fishes!"

Veemon, "Vee Headbutt!"

Wormmon, "Sticky Net!"

Hawkmon, "Feather Strike!"

Patamon, "Boom Bubble!"

Armadillomon, "Diamond Shell!"

Gatomon, "Lightning Paw!"

Lunamon, "Tear Shot!"

The Digimon launched their attacks on the Luna Bandits, destroying them. Sora, Kairi, Riku, and Naminé struck them down with their Keyblades.

Pikachu and Xipak attacked with a Thunderbolt, shocking them as Angel and Celeste attacked with Swift and Eevee attacks with Shadow Ball, and Azurill attacks with a Bubble Beam, hitting them.

More and more Luna Bandits were showing up from out of the blue as they attacked. Just when they were struck down, more Luna Bandits came up behind them as they get some unexpected help.

"Seismic Sledge!" Grumblemon shouted, slamming his hammer down on the Luna Bandits.

"Are you seeing this?" Lunamon asked.

"I do. That's Grumblemon, the Legendary Warrior of Earth," Veemon said. A Luna Bandit came at him with its two scimitars when a pair of metal hands appeared and Mercurymon appeared before them.

"Dark Reflection!" Mercurymon shouted, reflecting the Luna Bandit's attack and destroyed it.

"That's Mercurymon, the Legendary Warrior of Steel," Tentomon said.

"Blockade Seed!" Arbormon shouted, firing his seed attack on the Luna Bandits, destroying them.

"That's Arbormon, the Legendary Warrior of Wood," Gatomon said.

"Draining Rain!" Ranamon shouted, summoning a rain cloud, making it rain. The rain saps the strength of the Luna Bandits.

"And that's Ranamon, the Legendary Warrior of Water," Hawkmon said.

Just then, Brendan and May show up with their Keyblades and struck down the Luna Bandits.

"Brendan!" Sora said.

"May!" Max said.

"If they're here, then what about...?" Naminé paused. She got her answer when the other six Legendary Warriors arrived.

Takuya's new form is generated from the forms of Agunimon and BurningGreymon. Body structure, face, hair, arms and thighs of Agunimon, parts of the armor, wings, legs, tail and Rudri Tarpana of BurningGreymon. This form is Aldamon.

Koji's new form is generated from Lobomon and KendoGarurumon. The body structure, legs, arms, face and hair of Lobomon, parts of the armor, thighs, forearms and blades of KendoGarurumon. This form is BeoWolfmon.

Zoe showed up as Kazemon, JP showed up as MetalKabuterimon, Tommy showed up as Korikakkumon, and Koichi showed up as JaggerLoweemon.

"Wait, is that Takuya and Koji?!" Kairi exclaimed.

"It is! Aldamon and BeoWolfmon! They have have fused their Spirits!" Agumon said.

"They can do that?!" Riku asked.

"Looks like they just did," Matt said.

Kazemon, "Hurricane Wave!"

MetalKabuterimon, "Bolo Thunder!"

Korikakkumon, "Avalanche Axes!"

JaggerLoweemon, "Ebony Blast!"

The Legendary Warriors blasted some of the Luna Bandits, decreasing their numbers.

"Guys, let us handle the rest!" BeoWolfmon said.

"Go for it," May said.

"Cleansing Light!" BeoWolfmon shouted, firing homing missiles from his arms and sends them right at the Luna Bandits, destroying some of them.

"I got the rest of them!" Aldamon said, readying his arm blades. "Atomic Inferno!" Aldamon fires rapid-fire fireballs and struck the remaining Luna Bandits. Max ran up to his sister, happy to see her. She hugged him back. They all revert back to their human forms as Lisia, Bokomon, Neemon, Mime Jr, and Munchlax showed up.

"Kairi, Sora, Riku, Naminé, Max, and the rest! Thank goodness you're okay," Lisia said.

"We feel the same way," Sora T said.

"So, who are these four?" Joe asked.

"I should introduce myself. I'm Zach," Zach introduced himself.

"My name's Marina," Marina introduced herself.

"I'm Jason," Jason introduced himself.

"And I'm Patrick. When they told us that there are others, Takuya and the others weren't kidding," Patrick said.

"But where are Ash, Leaf, and the rest?" Zoe asked.

"Yeah, aren't they with you?" JP asked.

"No, we got separated from them, so we've been looking for them and for you," Kairi said.

"There's something big you gotta know," Sora said.

"What's big? What's going on?" Koji asked.

"We got word from some guy named Brian about Digimon showing up in Hollow Bastion," Kari said.

"What? Digimon in Hollow Bastion?" Takuya asked.

"Yeah, and Heartless too!" Max said.

"Oh, that can't be good," Brendan said.

"It's like Rustboro City all over again," May said, remembering the attack.

"Excuse me, but what's Hollow Bastion?" Jason asked.

"Hollow Bastion is a different world other than our own world and the Digital World. We've been there, and it wasn't a pretty thing," Sora said.

"And it'll get worse unless we find the rest of our friends as soon as possible," Kairi said.

"Then, let's get going! Now!" Davis said.

With that said, two groups have been reunited, so now the search for the rest of their friends continues, but can they hope to find them before it is too late? And what of the battle against ChaosGallantmon, BlackMegaGargomon, and Kuzuhamon? Will Gallantmon, MegaGargomon, and Sakuyamon be able to defeat their evil doubles even with Justimon beside them? Stick around and find out.
