Recap: Davis and Flamedramon began to make the best of things since they were stuck in the Digital World. They discovered that Flamedramon had another attack when facing a flock of Griffinmon. Flamedramon now knew the very powerful Dragon Fire attack, which could decimate just about anything if used at full power. That attack helped to prevent a dark ring from locking onto Stingmon, but another one locked onto him when neither him nor them expected it. Stingmon and Flamedramon went through a tough battle that Flamedramon had no choice but to end with a couple of fire attacks.

Chapter 4: Returning to the Real World
The last hour was pretty hectic. After being enslaved by the Digimon Emperor, Stingmon battled Flamedramon. Flamedramon hoped not to have to end the battle with a fire attack since Stingmon is a bug Digimon. Alas, that's what it came to because Flamedramon used his Fire Rocket to weaken Stingmon, and the Flaming Fist to destroy the dark ring. Stingmon reverted to Wormmon, and Davis and Flamedramon took him inside the cave.
"Will he be all right?" Flamedramon asked.
"He'll be all right Flamedramon. Even though you used your fire attacks, I can tell that you held back enough," Davis responded.
Sure enough, Wormmon began to wake up. He looked up and smiled at Davis and Flamedramon. "Thank you Flamedramon," he said.
"No problem. I'm just glad you're all right," Flamedramon said. He and Wormmon failed to notice Davis exit the cave.
Davis wanted to be alone to think about some things. He came to a river half an hour later. He considered going for a swim, but one look at the current quickly changed his mind. "That's too fast for my liking," he said. He sat by the river to think over all that's happened so far. 'So much has happened in so little time. Flamedramon and I getting trapped here, finding out Flamedramon's secret, and having to battle an enslaved Stingmon. I can't wait until we can go back to the Real World,' he thought. He failed to notice a Gotsumon behind him.
The Gotsumon charged at Davis and knocked him into the river. Flamedramon and Stingmon searched the skies for Davis. They noticed Davis gone an hour ago and flew to find him, hoping that he was all right. The soon came over the river. Stingmon looked down and saw something being pulled quickly.
"Look down there. There's something in the river," Stingmon said. He and Flamedramon flew lower and soon gasped.
"It's Davis!" Flamedramon shouted. He dover to pick Davis out of the water. He flew toward Davis in the opposite direction. He scooped Davis out of the swift current and flew back up. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"I am now," Davis responded.
"What happened?" Stingmon asked.
"I don't know. I came here to think when something pushed me into the river," Davis responded.
Flamedramon and Stingmon then flew back to the cave.
"When did you leave?" Stingmon asked.
"When you and Flamedramon started talking. I figured that you wanted to be alone so I went to be alone too," Davis responded.
Meanwhile, Gennai and the other Digimon worked hard to get all the ports repaired. They were determined to help Davis get back home. A year of hard work finally paid off as all the ports were fixed. Davis's D3 went off at sunrise the following morning.
"Davis, wake up. Your D3 is beeping," Flamedramon said.
"All right, I'm up. Let's see what it says," Davis said as he looked at his D3. "I can't believe it! Gennai says that the ports are fixed and that we can go home," he said happily.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Flamedramon said before reverting back to Veemon.
"I'll be around when you need me," Wormmon said befoe heading back to the base.
Davis and Veemon went to the port, which they came to the Digital World in the first place to find that it was as good as new. Davis opened the port, and he and Veemon ended up in Izzy's room. Izzy woke up to see Davis and Veemon, now Demiveemon on the floor. It was a good thing that Izzy always kept his computer on.
"Davis, Demiveemon, how did you get back?" Izzy asked puzzled and happily.
"The ports are fixed," Davis responded. Then he picked up his now little partner and quietly left Izzy's house. He walked home. He quietly went to his room and put Demiveemon down.
Demiveemon began to jump around the room. He was excited to be back. Davis just smiled at him. He was as excited to be back as his little blue buddy was. He then emailed the others, telling them that he was back in the real world, and to meet him at the park at noon. It was Saturday so there was no worry about school.
Later on at noon, the older and younger Digidestined met Davis and Demiveemon at the park. Demiveemon was at one of his usual places, on Davis's head. The others didn't know what to say first. Their minds were racing a mile a minute to come up with something to ask Davis.
"What happened during the year you were trapped?" Sora asked, finally breaking the silence.
"A lot has happened," Davis responded before telling them the whole story. He took three hours explaining everything that happened.
"Wow, that's enough to make my head spin," Amadillomon said.
"You say that Flamedramon can fly now?" Patamon asked.
"That's right Patamon," Demiveemon responded.
"It's incredible how Ken doesn't even know that Wormmon is on our side," Cody said as the others except Davis and Demiveemon nodded.
"So Davis, when is the next time you want to go to the Digital World?" Yolie asked.
"Not for a while Yolie. I have been there a full year after all," Davis responded.
"We understand Davis. You're very courageous to be able to tolerate having to stay there for a year. I probably would've gone crazy," TK said.
"I know I would've," Tai agreed.
"Thanks guys," Davis said before going home.
It was a while indeed before Davis went to the Digital World. In fact, it was six months before he decided to go back. The other Digidestined promised to wait as long as needed to go. They did want to go, but it seemed like more things went right when Davis was with them(A/N: This isn't an OOC story for nothing you know).
"You guys ready?" Davis asked.
"You bet we are," Poromon responded.
"Let's go. Digiport open!" TK said as he, the others, and their Digimon were all sucked into the port.
They saw that the Digimon Emperor had been quite busy while they were away. The area they arrived in had control spires once again. One thing really goes without saying. They were just as determined to knock the spires down again. The Digimon got ready to Armor Digivolve.
"Digi Armor Energize!" the Digidestined shouted.
"Veemon Armor Digivolve to...Flamedramon: The Fire of Courage!"
"Hawkmon Armor Digivolve to...Halsemon: The Wings of Love!"
"Armadillomon Armor Digivolve to...Digmon: The Drill of Power!"
"Patamon Armor Digivolve to...Pegasusmon: Flying Hope!"
"Gatomon Armor Digivolve to...Nefertimon: The Angel of Light!"
"Let's knock 'em down!" Davis shouted.
"You heard him guys. Let's do it!" Halsemon said.
"Right!" the other Digidestined said. They split up, each one going with his, or her in Nefertimon's case, partner.
Davis was in Flamedramon's arms. Flamedramon began to shoot at the spires with his Dragon Fire attack at full power. Flamedramon completely obliterated the control spires in the area with his attack. He ended up destroying ten in just one shot because the fire just about went straight through one spire while destroying it and into the next one. There were fifty control spires there, but due to Flamedramon's Dragon Fire, they were destroyed in only five minutes. Then he headed back to the rendezvous point.
"Nice job Flamedramon," Davis commented.
"Thanks," Flamedramon said.
Soon, the others also met back up with Davis and Flamedramon. Stingmon was among them. Davis and Flamedramon smiled.
"So, what have you been up to Stingmon?" Davis asked.
"The usual things like sneaking out and some other things," Stingmon responded.
"You say that Ken still doesn't know that you sneak out from under his nose?" Cody asked.
"He never did, and he probably never will," Stingmon responded.
"Not by the way he's acting," Davis said. "I'm the almighty Digimon Emperor. Bow before me or face the consequences," he added mockingly.
Everyone else got a good laugh out of that. Meanwhile, the Digimon Emperor worked on a big plot. A trio of controlled Meramon was put into an experiment room. Ken knew that Flamedramon was the strongest Digimon of the Digidestined so far. During the six-month period that the Digidestined were away, he had trained the trio of Meramon. It was a hard process, but it finally paid off.
"Meramon Digivolve to...Skull Meramon!" they shouted.
"Excellent, now nothing can stand in my way," Ken said.
However, things were not going to be that easy for him anymore. For as soon as the Meramon Digivolved, they began to act out of control.
"How can they be acting this way? My dark rings are still on their necks," Ken wondered. He put more power into the rings, but to no avail.
The Skull Meramon began to blast the wall in attempts of getting out. Alas, it was in vain for them because this wall was built from solid concrete and was 50-feet thick. It would take something more powerful than even the three of them combined to break through this wall. Soon, the Skull Meramon fell unconscious due to their energy drain.
"Well that takes care of that. At least they helped me find out that I need something more powerful to control an Ultimate-level Digimon. Something that is more complex than the rings. Maybe something a little bigger as well," Ken said. He experimented on his computer. He used three rings to form a vertical chain. "That's a start," he saw. Then he took parts of the chain a loose and then added it to other places.
The result was a dark spiral, an alteration of three dark rings put together. It was exactly what the Digimon Emperor needed to control the trio of Ultimate Digimon. He went into the room and took off the dark rings. Then he put his new creation on their left arms. He went back to the control room in wait for the Skull Meramon to awaken. The trio of Digimon awakened a few hours later. The eerie red glow was back in their eyes. The dark spiral worked like a charm.
"It's a success and a good thing too. These Skull Meramon don't really need to be controlled to do damage. Causing trouble and damage is in their data already," Ken said.
Meanwhile, the Digidestined had returned to the Real World after an exhausting day of destroying control spires. They didn't know that hte next time in the Digital World could very well be their last because the Skull Meramon were very powerful. The next day, the Digidestined decided to have a picnic in the Digital World. Yolie brought some food while Davis, TK and their partners got some from the area where the really good food was. Davis and TK saw Stingmon coming and invited him to join the picnic as well.
Everyone had a good time. They ate, talked, shared jokes and played games. Yolie had brought some water balloons. Davis was the first one to take advantage of that. He secretly got a water balloon and threw it at Veemon. Needless to say that it was a direct hit. Everyone else fell down laughing at Veemon's wet face.
"Hey!" Veemon shouted.
"Well, you didn't see it coming. What else would you expect?" Davis said. through laughs.
"Is that so? Well two can play at that game," Veemon said smirking. He carefully took a water balloon. He saw that Davis was right in front of TK. He threw it at Davis, hoping that Davis would duck so it would hit TK.
Davis ducked, and the balloon did hit TK. Everyone including TK laughed.
"Water Balloon Fight!" Yolie shouted as she threw one at Hawkmon.
"Oh yeah!" Hawkmon said, throwing one right back at Yolie.
Then everyone took an equal amount of water balloons and started throwing them at each other. They were laughing and having the time of their lives. Whenever they needed to fill some more balloons, they did it at the nearby pond and continued having fun. An hour later, they stopped to catch their breath. Davis Armor Digivolved Veemon to Flamedramon, and Flamedramon helped to dry everyone off.
"That was fun. We have to do that more," Patamon said.
"You said it pal," TK said.
The others nodded. They all had fun, especially Stingmon. Stingmon never had so much fun in his life. He only wished that Ken would want to have as much fun as he[Stingmon] had. Unfortunately, the fun had come to an end as the Digimon sensed trouble coming.
"Why does trouble always seem to find us when we're having fun?" Gatomon asked.
Yolie, TK, Kari and Cody Armor Digivolved their Digimon partners, and stayed alert for whatever was out there. A combined attack came right behind them. The attack slammed into the pond, blowing the Digimon and their human partners away. When the smoke cleared, what was once a pond was a pond was now a cliff. The attack had dug a wide ditch a mile deep.
"Who, that could've been us," Kari said worriedly.
"It will be the next time," three voices said.
The Digidestined and their partners turned around to see three human-like Digimon approaching them. TK and Kari recognized them right away.
"It's Skull Meramon. Their attitude is as bad as their temper. They use their Metal Chain and Metal Fireball attacks to hang and toast their enemies," TK said.
"You've seen these hotheads before?" Yolie asked.
"Yes we have. It was while they were searching for me," Kari said. She and TK saw the confused looks on th others faces except for Pegasusmon and Nefertimon. "We'll explain later," she added.
"Agreed," Davis said. He soon saw something else. "Hey, they have what looks like a black spiral on their arms."
The others looked and saw the dark spirals.
'So that's what Ken was up to," Stingmon said.
"Yes. We were once Meramon. But the Digimon Emperor trained us and we became Skull Meramon," one of the Skull Meramon said.
"We have to beat them. If we don't, they'll begin a path of destruction even without those spirals on their arms," Nefertimon said.
"How can you my dear? You can't become an Ultimate Digimon anymore," another Skull Meramon said.
"Gatomon could become Ultimate?" Digmon asked.
"Yes she could. But she can't now that my crest was destroyed. I'll explain everything later," Kari responded.
"Okay. We can beat these guys. I know we can," Davis said.
"I'm with you Davis," Flamedramon said before flying into the air. "Dragon Fire!" he shouted, using the attack at full strength.
However, the Digimon Emperor warned the Skull Meramon about that attack. They split up to avoid the attack. The emperor ordered them to get rid of Flamedramon first since he posed the biggest threat with his powerful attack.
"Metal Fireball!" one of the Skull Meramon shouted.
A stream of blue and gray fire came out of his mouth and straight towards Flamedramon. Flamedramon countered with his Dragon Fire. The attack continued as the Skull Meramon sent Metal Fireball after Metal Fireball at Flamedramon. Flamedramon got weaker as he had to counter more attacks. Sure his Dragon Fire attack was powerful, but it took a good amount of energy to do it.
"Flamedramon needs help! Let's help him!" Pegasusmon said.
"Right!" the other Digimon said.
"Aquis Beam!"
"Eagle Eye!"
"Gold Rush!"
"Cat's Eye Beam!"
The four attacks sped toward the Skull Meramon.
"You think your puny attacks will faze us. Well think again," the trio of Skull Meramon said.
The attacks hit dead on, causing an explosion. When the smoke cleared, the Skull Meramon didn't have a scratch on them.
"You've got to be kidding. That was their most powerful attacks and they did nothing," Cody said.
"Now it's our turn. Metal Fireball!" the trio of Skull Meramon said, aiming them in different directions.
Pegasusmon, Halsemon and Nefertimon were knocked out of the sky. They reverted to Patamon, Hawkmon and Gatomon. Digmon was sent flying into a nearby tree and reverted back to Armadillomon.
"Patamon!" TK shouted.
"Gatomon!" Kari shouted.
"Armadillomon!" Cody shouted.
"Hawkmon!" Yolie shouted.
They rushed to their Digimon. Now, it was a weakened Flamedramon vs. a trio of Skull Meramon. Flamedramon knew he couldn't give another Dragon Fire attack.
"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon shouted as he shot three fireballs at the trio of Skull Meramon.
"Metal Chain!" one of the Skull Meramon shouted.
The chain did two things. First it negated Flamedramon's attack. Then it wrapped around Flamedramon. Flamedramon was too weakened to try to get out.
"Metal Fireball!" the same Skull Meramon shouted.
The attack hit Flamedramon directly. Then the Skull Meramon threw Flamedramon into the newly formed cliff.
"Flamedramon!" Davis cried, rushing to the cliff.
"Davis wait!" the others shouted.
"So, you want to join your friend. Well here," the second Skull Meramon said. He used Metal Chain to knock Davis over.
"Davis!" the Digidestined cried.
Flamedramon looked up and saw Davis falling as well. He couldn't do anything because the Metal Fireball left him completely drained so he couldn't even fly. "I just wish I could do something, but I can't," he said helplessly.
Meanwhile, Davis felt completely different. "I can't let this happen. I won't let this happen. Flamedramon means the world to me. I won't let him die with me," he said. He then noticed his D3 glowing. "What's happening?" he asked.
Suddenly, his D3 glowed a brighter golden-orange light. Flamedramon also glowed. Then the light shot up to the sky. The other Digidestined, their Digimon and the Skull Meramon all saw the light. They wondered what was going on. Flamedramon felt stronger.
'I can feel Davis's strong determination to help me,' Flamedramon thought. He soon felt completely revitalized and more. He was Digivolving. "Flamedramon Digivolve to...Titan Flamedramon!"
Davis felt his fall come to a complete stop. He looked up to see a metallic Digimon with sharp red eyes looking back at him. The Digimon flew up. He flew back over the cliff and landed, putting Davis down afterwards. Davis and the others were awestruck at the new Digimon.
"Who in the Digital World are you?" one of the Skull Meramon asked.
The Digimon smirked. "I am Titan Flamedramon."
And I'll end it right here. I planned to end it here because I wanted to do it similar to the episode when Veemon became Magnamon for the first time. Preview for Chapter 5: The Titanium Warrior: Davis's determination helped Flamedramon to Digivolve to Ultimate to give him a chance against the trio of Ultimates. Titan Flamedramon proves to be more than the Skull Meramon can handle even when they attack together. I know that you're going to definitely want to see how Titan Flamedramon takes care of them.
ShadowGallantmon: Thank you very much for your help. I found some really good Digimon to use from the website you gave me.
To all my readers: You don't have to give me a website to go to if you want to see a Digimon face the Season 2 Digidestined. All you have to do is just tell me the Digimon and its attacks. It's as simple as that. I haven't made things any simpler so far in my stories. In other words, this is the time I'm challenging you to take advantage of me because it is a win-win situation. You'll get to see the Digimon you picked, and I will be able to write the next chapters out and have them posted faster. Just be careful not to abuse this opportunity though okay?

Chapter 4: Returning to the Real World
The last hour was pretty hectic. After being enslaved by the Digimon Emperor, Stingmon battled Flamedramon. Flamedramon hoped not to have to end the battle with a fire attack since Stingmon is a bug Digimon. Alas, that's what it came to because Flamedramon used his Fire Rocket to weaken Stingmon, and the Flaming Fist to destroy the dark ring. Stingmon reverted to Wormmon, and Davis and Flamedramon took him inside the cave.
"Will he be all right?" Flamedramon asked.
"He'll be all right Flamedramon. Even though you used your fire attacks, I can tell that you held back enough," Davis responded.
Sure enough, Wormmon began to wake up. He looked up and smiled at Davis and Flamedramon. "Thank you Flamedramon," he said.
"No problem. I'm just glad you're all right," Flamedramon said. He and Wormmon failed to notice Davis exit the cave.
Davis wanted to be alone to think about some things. He came to a river half an hour later. He considered going for a swim, but one look at the current quickly changed his mind. "That's too fast for my liking," he said. He sat by the river to think over all that's happened so far. 'So much has happened in so little time. Flamedramon and I getting trapped here, finding out Flamedramon's secret, and having to battle an enslaved Stingmon. I can't wait until we can go back to the Real World,' he thought. He failed to notice a Gotsumon behind him.
The Gotsumon charged at Davis and knocked him into the river. Flamedramon and Stingmon searched the skies for Davis. They noticed Davis gone an hour ago and flew to find him, hoping that he was all right. The soon came over the river. Stingmon looked down and saw something being pulled quickly.
"Look down there. There's something in the river," Stingmon said. He and Flamedramon flew lower and soon gasped.
"It's Davis!" Flamedramon shouted. He dover to pick Davis out of the water. He flew toward Davis in the opposite direction. He scooped Davis out of the swift current and flew back up. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"I am now," Davis responded.
"What happened?" Stingmon asked.
"I don't know. I came here to think when something pushed me into the river," Davis responded.
Flamedramon and Stingmon then flew back to the cave.
"When did you leave?" Stingmon asked.
"When you and Flamedramon started talking. I figured that you wanted to be alone so I went to be alone too," Davis responded.
Meanwhile, Gennai and the other Digimon worked hard to get all the ports repaired. They were determined to help Davis get back home. A year of hard work finally paid off as all the ports were fixed. Davis's D3 went off at sunrise the following morning.
"Davis, wake up. Your D3 is beeping," Flamedramon said.
"All right, I'm up. Let's see what it says," Davis said as he looked at his D3. "I can't believe it! Gennai says that the ports are fixed and that we can go home," he said happily.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Flamedramon said before reverting back to Veemon.
"I'll be around when you need me," Wormmon said befoe heading back to the base.
Davis and Veemon went to the port, which they came to the Digital World in the first place to find that it was as good as new. Davis opened the port, and he and Veemon ended up in Izzy's room. Izzy woke up to see Davis and Veemon, now Demiveemon on the floor. It was a good thing that Izzy always kept his computer on.
"Davis, Demiveemon, how did you get back?" Izzy asked puzzled and happily.
"The ports are fixed," Davis responded. Then he picked up his now little partner and quietly left Izzy's house. He walked home. He quietly went to his room and put Demiveemon down.
Demiveemon began to jump around the room. He was excited to be back. Davis just smiled at him. He was as excited to be back as his little blue buddy was. He then emailed the others, telling them that he was back in the real world, and to meet him at the park at noon. It was Saturday so there was no worry about school.

"What happened during the year you were trapped?" Sora asked, finally breaking the silence.
"A lot has happened," Davis responded before telling them the whole story. He took three hours explaining everything that happened.
"Wow, that's enough to make my head spin," Amadillomon said.
"You say that Flamedramon can fly now?" Patamon asked.
"That's right Patamon," Demiveemon responded.
"It's incredible how Ken doesn't even know that Wormmon is on our side," Cody said as the others except Davis and Demiveemon nodded.
"So Davis, when is the next time you want to go to the Digital World?" Yolie asked.
"Not for a while Yolie. I have been there a full year after all," Davis responded.
"We understand Davis. You're very courageous to be able to tolerate having to stay there for a year. I probably would've gone crazy," TK said.
"I know I would've," Tai agreed.
"Thanks guys," Davis said before going home.
It was a while indeed before Davis went to the Digital World. In fact, it was six months before he decided to go back. The other Digidestined promised to wait as long as needed to go. They did want to go, but it seemed like more things went right when Davis was with them(A/N: This isn't an OOC story for nothing you know).
"You guys ready?" Davis asked.
"You bet we are," Poromon responded.
"Let's go. Digiport open!" TK said as he, the others, and their Digimon were all sucked into the port.
They saw that the Digimon Emperor had been quite busy while they were away. The area they arrived in had control spires once again. One thing really goes without saying. They were just as determined to knock the spires down again. The Digimon got ready to Armor Digivolve.
"Digi Armor Energize!" the Digidestined shouted.
"Veemon Armor Digivolve to...Flamedramon: The Fire of Courage!"
"Hawkmon Armor Digivolve to...Halsemon: The Wings of Love!"
"Armadillomon Armor Digivolve to...Digmon: The Drill of Power!"
"Patamon Armor Digivolve to...Pegasusmon: Flying Hope!"
"Gatomon Armor Digivolve to...Nefertimon: The Angel of Light!"
"Let's knock 'em down!" Davis shouted.
"You heard him guys. Let's do it!" Halsemon said.
"Right!" the other Digidestined said. They split up, each one going with his, or her in Nefertimon's case, partner.
Davis was in Flamedramon's arms. Flamedramon began to shoot at the spires with his Dragon Fire attack at full power. Flamedramon completely obliterated the control spires in the area with his attack. He ended up destroying ten in just one shot because the fire just about went straight through one spire while destroying it and into the next one. There were fifty control spires there, but due to Flamedramon's Dragon Fire, they were destroyed in only five minutes. Then he headed back to the rendezvous point.
"Nice job Flamedramon," Davis commented.
"Thanks," Flamedramon said.
Soon, the others also met back up with Davis and Flamedramon. Stingmon was among them. Davis and Flamedramon smiled.
"So, what have you been up to Stingmon?" Davis asked.
"The usual things like sneaking out and some other things," Stingmon responded.
"You say that Ken still doesn't know that you sneak out from under his nose?" Cody asked.
"He never did, and he probably never will," Stingmon responded.
"Not by the way he's acting," Davis said. "I'm the almighty Digimon Emperor. Bow before me or face the consequences," he added mockingly.
Everyone else got a good laugh out of that. Meanwhile, the Digimon Emperor worked on a big plot. A trio of controlled Meramon was put into an experiment room. Ken knew that Flamedramon was the strongest Digimon of the Digidestined so far. During the six-month period that the Digidestined were away, he had trained the trio of Meramon. It was a hard process, but it finally paid off.
"Meramon Digivolve to...Skull Meramon!" they shouted.
"Excellent, now nothing can stand in my way," Ken said.
However, things were not going to be that easy for him anymore. For as soon as the Meramon Digivolved, they began to act out of control.
"How can they be acting this way? My dark rings are still on their necks," Ken wondered. He put more power into the rings, but to no avail.
The Skull Meramon began to blast the wall in attempts of getting out. Alas, it was in vain for them because this wall was built from solid concrete and was 50-feet thick. It would take something more powerful than even the three of them combined to break through this wall. Soon, the Skull Meramon fell unconscious due to their energy drain.

Then he took parts of the chain a loose and then added it to other places.
The result was a dark spiral, an alteration of three dark rings put together. It was exactly what the Digimon Emperor needed to control the trio of Ultimate Digimon. He went into the room and took off the dark rings. Then he put his new creation on their left arms. He went back to the control room in wait for the Skull Meramon to awaken. The trio of Digimon awakened a few hours later. The eerie red glow was back in their eyes. The dark spiral worked like a charm.
"It's a success and a good thing too. These Skull Meramon don't really need to be controlled to do damage. Causing trouble and damage is in their data already," Ken said.
Meanwhile, the Digidestined had returned to the Real World after an exhausting day of destroying control spires. They didn't know that hte next time in the Digital World could very well be their last because the Skull Meramon were very powerful. The next day, the Digidestined decided to have a picnic in the Digital World. Yolie brought some food while Davis, TK and their partners got some from the area where the really good food was. Davis and TK saw Stingmon coming and invited him to join the picnic as well.
Everyone had a good time. They ate, talked, shared jokes and played games. Yolie had brought some water balloons. Davis was the first one to take advantage of that. He secretly got a water balloon and threw it at Veemon. Needless to say that it was a direct hit. Everyone else fell down laughing at Veemon's wet face.
"Hey!" Veemon shouted.
"Well, you didn't see it coming. What else would you expect?" Davis said. through laughs.
"Is that so? Well two can play at that game," Veemon said smirking. He carefully took a water balloon. He saw that Davis was right in front of TK. He threw it at Davis, hoping that Davis would duck so it would hit TK.
Davis ducked, and the balloon did hit TK. Everyone including TK laughed.
"Water Balloon Fight!" Yolie shouted as she threw one at Hawkmon.
"Oh yeah!" Hawkmon said, throwing one right back at Yolie.
Then everyone took an equal amount of water balloons and started throwing them at each other. They were laughing and having the time of their lives. Whenever they needed to fill some more balloons, they did it at the nearby pond and continued having fun. An hour later, they stopped to catch their breath. Davis Armor Digivolved Veemon to Flamedramon, and Flamedramon helped to dry everyone off.
"That was fun. We have to do that more," Patamon said.
"You said it pal," TK said.
The others nodded. They all had fun, especially Stingmon. Stingmon never had so much fun in his life. He only wished that Ken would want to have as much fun as he[Stingmon] had. Unfortunately, the fun had come to an end as the Digimon sensed trouble coming.
"Why does trouble always seem to find us when we're having fun?" Gatomon asked.
Yolie, TK, Kari and Cody Armor Digivolved their Digimon partners, and stayed alert for whatever was out there. A combined attack came right behind them. The attack slammed into the pond, blowing the Digimon and their human partners away. When the smoke cleared, what was once a pond was a pond was now a cliff. The attack had dug a wide ditch a mile deep.
"Who, that could've been us," Kari said worriedly.
"It will be the next time," three voices said.
The Digidestined and their partners turned around to see three human-like Digimon approaching them. TK and Kari recognized them right away.
"It's Skull Meramon. Their attitude is as bad as their temper. They use their Metal Chain and Metal Fireball attacks to hang and toast their enemies," TK said.
"You've seen these hotheads before?" Yolie asked.
"Yes we have. It was while they were searching for me," Kari said. She and TK saw the confused looks on th others faces except for Pegasusmon and Nefertimon. "We'll explain later," she added.
"Agreed," Davis said. He soon saw something else. "Hey, they have what looks like a black spiral on their arms."
The others looked and saw the dark spirals.
'So that's what Ken was up to," Stingmon said.
"Yes. We were once Meramon. But the Digimon Emperor trained us and we became Skull Meramon," one of the Skull Meramon said.
"We have to beat them. If we don't, they'll begin a path of destruction even without those spirals on their arms," Nefertimon said.
"How can you my dear? You can't become an Ultimate Digimon anymore," another Skull Meramon said.
"Gatomon could become Ultimate?" Digmon asked.
"Yes she could. But she can't now that my crest was destroyed. I'll explain everything later," Kari responded.
"Okay. We can beat these guys. I know we can," Davis said.
"I'm with you Davis," Flamedramon said before flying into the air. "Dragon Fire!" he shouted, using the attack at full strength.
However, the Digimon Emperor warned the Skull Meramon about that attack. They split up to avoid the attack. The emperor ordered them to get rid of Flamedramon first since he posed the biggest threat with his powerful attack.
"Metal Fireball!" one of the Skull Meramon shouted.
A stream of blue and gray fire came out of his mouth and straight towards Flamedramon. Flamedramon countered with his Dragon Fire. The attack continued as the Skull Meramon sent Metal Fireball after Metal Fireball at Flamedramon. Flamedramon got weaker as he had to counter more attacks. Sure his Dragon Fire attack was powerful, but it took a good amount of energy to do it.
"Flamedramon needs help! Let's help him!" Pegasusmon said.
"Right!" the other Digimon said.
"Aquis Beam!"
"Eagle Eye!"
"Gold Rush!"
"Cat's Eye Beam!"
The four attacks sped toward the Skull Meramon.
"You think your puny attacks will faze us. Well think again," the trio of Skull Meramon said.
The attacks hit dead on, causing an explosion. When the smoke cleared, the Skull Meramon didn't have a scratch on them.
"You've got to be kidding. That was their most powerful attacks and they did nothing," Cody said.
"Now it's our turn. Metal Fireball!" the trio of Skull Meramon said, aiming them in different directions.
Pegasusmon, Halsemon and Nefertimon were knocked out of the sky. They reverted to Patamon, Hawkmon and Gatomon. Digmon was sent flying into a nearby tree and reverted back to Armadillomon.
"Patamon!" TK shouted.
"Gatomon!" Kari shouted.
"Armadillomon!" Cody shouted.
"Hawkmon!" Yolie shouted.
They rushed to their Digimon. Now, it was a weakened Flamedramon vs. a trio of Skull Meramon. Flamedramon knew he couldn't give another Dragon Fire attack.
"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon shouted as he shot three fireballs at the trio of Skull Meramon.
"Metal Chain!" one of the Skull Meramon shouted.
The chain did two things. First it negated Flamedramon's attack. Then it wrapped around Flamedramon. Flamedramon was too weakened to try to get out.
"Metal Fireball!" the same Skull Meramon shouted.
The attack hit Flamedramon directly. Then the Skull Meramon threw Flamedramon into the newly formed cliff.
"Flamedramon!" Davis cried, rushing to the cliff.
"Davis wait!" the others shouted.
"So, you want to join your friend. Well here," the second Skull Meramon said. He used Metal Chain to knock Davis over.
"Davis!" the Digidestined cried.
Flamedramon looked up and saw Davis falling as well. He couldn't do anything because the Metal Fireball left him completely drained so he couldn't even fly. "I just wish I could do something, but I can't," he said helplessly.
Meanwhile, Davis felt completely different. "I can't let this happen. I won't let this happen. Flamedramon means the world to me. I won't let him die with me," he said. He then noticed his D3 glowing. "What's happening?" he asked.
Suddenly, his D3 glowed a brighter golden-orange light. Flamedramon also glowed. Then the light shot up to the sky. The other Digidestined, their Digimon and the Skull Meramon all saw the light. They wondered what was going on. Flamedramon felt stronger.
'I can feel Davis's strong determination to help me,' Flamedramon thought. He soon felt completely revitalized and more. He was Digivolving. "Flamedramon Digivolve to...Titan Flamedramon!"
Davis felt his fall come to a complete stop. He looked up to see a metallic Digimon with sharp red eyes looking back at him. The Digimon flew up. He flew back over the cliff and landed, putting Davis down afterwards. Davis and the others were awestruck at the new Digimon.
"Who in the Digital World are you?" one of the Skull Meramon asked.
The Digimon smirked. "I am Titan Flamedramon."
And I'll end it right here. I planned to end it here because I wanted to do it similar to the episode when Veemon became Magnamon for the first time. Preview for Chapter 5: The Titanium Warrior: Davis's determination helped Flamedramon to Digivolve to Ultimate to give him a chance against the trio of Ultimates. Titan Flamedramon proves to be more than the Skull Meramon can handle even when they attack together. I know that you're going to definitely want to see how Titan Flamedramon takes care of them.
ShadowGallantmon: Thank you very much for your help. I found some really good Digimon to use from the website you gave me.
To all my readers: You don't have to give me a website to go to if you want to see a Digimon face the Season 2 Digidestined. All you have to do is just tell me the Digimon and its attacks. It's as simple as that. I haven't made things any simpler so far in my stories. In other words, this is the time I'm challenging you to take advantage of me because it is a win-win situation. You'll get to see the Digimon you picked, and I will be able to write the next chapters out and have them posted faster. Just be careful not to abuse this opportunity though okay?
