Recap: Flamedramon had Digivolved to Titan Flamedramon, a Digimon with pure Titanium for armor. The Skull Meramon found out firsthand how strong Titanium is when Titan Flamedramon had used Titanium Blast to destroy two of them, and Titanium Bomb to destroy the third. The Digimon Emperor had enslaved a herd of Centarumon who always attacked as a group. Titan Flamedramon helped the other Armor Champion Digimon free the Centarumon.

Chapter 6: Friendship's Power

In a secluded area of the Digital World, the Digimon Emperor plotted on what he should do next. So far, Titan Flamedramon proved to be more than the enslaved Digimon could handle. Ken knew that he would have to involve the Digidestined to keep Titan Flamedramon at bay.
"That Veemon is pretty powerful as Titan Flamedramon. But we'll see who has the power when it comes to the life or death of his partner. Veemon would do almost anything to protect his partner, and that will leave him at my mercy," Ken said.
'Not if he knows what you're doing,' Wormmon thought. He snuck out of the base and headed to where he last saw the Digidestined. He had returned to the base after TK and Kari had told their stories of their past. He Digivolved to Stingmon and continued the way by air. He only hoped that they haven't left after the fight with the Centarumon. He found himself fortunate because he arrived to find them still there.
"What are you doing here?" Gatomon asked.
"I came to warn Davis and Veemon. Ken will try anything to kill you Davis. He plans to do something to prevent Veemon from helping you. All of you will have to keep your guard up from now on, but Davis and Veemon will really have to keep their guard up. I'll relay what I find out as I hear it," Stingmon said. He then flew back to Ken's base. He made sure to stay away from the sensors and cameras as he Digivolved and headed back in.
"I'm glad that Wormmon is on our side. We'd be completely clueless about Ken's next move without him," Yolie said.
"Veemon and I are especially glad. Wormmon helped us out a lot when we were trapped here," Davis said as Veemon nodded.
"Let's head home for now. We can return tomorrow," Cody said.
The others nodded. Kari opened the port, and they returned to the school. Then they split to go home. Meanwhile, Ken rode through the Digital World on his enslaved Airdramon. He planned to enslave two different Ultimate-level Digimon. Unfortunately for Ken but luckily for the Digidestined, Wormmon was with him. The Digidestined would know which Digimon would be pitted against them now. Ken and Wormmon soon came over a battle in progress.
"What luck this is. Two Ultimates in just one spot. I can get them both," Ken said as he took out two dark spirals.
The battle was between a Mega Seadramon and an Okuwamon. The Okuwamon had not only invaded Mega Seadramon's territory, but it also deleted an unsuspecting Mega Seadramon. The two Digimon were so focused on their battle, that they didn't even notice Ken approaching them. Ken threw the spirals, and they latched onto their targets. Mega Seadramon and Okuwamon were now under his control.
"Excellent. Now those Digidestined will get what's coming to them," Ken said.
Wormmon on the other hand, felt sorry for the Mega Seadramon. He had come across many Mega Seadramon, but this one had the gentlest nature he had ever seen. It had even helped him a few times. This Mega Seadramon wouldn't fight or hurt anyone or anything unless it had to.
'I feel really sorry for that Mega Seadramon. Davis is going to be in for a real shock when I tell him which Mega Seadramon he and the others will have to face,' Wormmon thought. He thought about the time that Mega Seadramon was a big help in saving Davis from drowning.

| Flashback |

It was a lovely summer day in the Digital World. The older and younger Digidestined had gone to have what they hoped to be a day of relaxation fromtheir busy lives in the Real World. They opened a port near the lake. Gomamon and Palmon were there already. Palmon enjoyed the sun and had a drink while waiting. As soon as the Digidestined arrived, Gomamon jumped into the water and swam with the fishes.
"Let's join him," Yolie said before jumping in herself.
The Digidestined changed into their swimming gear before coming to the Digital World. They all jumped into the water and started swimming. Some of them had water wars with each other. Veemon, Patamon and Palmon soon joined in the fun. Veemon teamed up with Yolie and Tai in splashing Davis and Cody. They all had a lot of fun.
But fun was usually short-lived for them. This was no exception. A group of enslaved Seadramon approached them after only an hour passed. The Digidestined and their Digimon got out of the water. They knew not to battle in Seadramon's own element. Gomamon and Palmon tried to Digivolve but couldn't. They and the Digidestined soon found out why. They failed to notice a control spire in the area.
"Looks like it's up to us guys," Kari said.
"Digi Armor Energize!" the younger Digidestined shouted.
"Gatomon Armor Digivolve to..."
"Hawkmon Armor Digivolve to..."
"Patamon Armor Digivolve to..."
"Veemon Armor Digivolve to..."
"Armadillomon Armor Digivolve to..."
"Nefertimon: The Angel of Light!"
"Halsemon: The Wings of Love!"
"Pegasusmon: Flying Hope!"
"Flamedramon: The Fire of Courage!"
"Digmon: The Drill of Power!"
"Ice Blast!" a Seadramon shouted.
"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon countered, melting the ice.
"Star Shower!"
"Rosetta Stone!"
"Tempest Wing!"
"Gold Rush!"
The Seadramon were stunned, but that was it. Then one of them caught Digmon off guard with a sweep of its tail. Digimon was sent flying into a tree, Dedigivolving afterwards. Another Seadramon saw Davis near the lake. Davis was so focused on the battle, that he didn't see the Seadramon until it was too late. He got pulled under, but managed to scream for help before he was pulled all the way under.
"Davis!" Flamedramon cried. He dove into the water after Davis. He knew that he put himself at a major disadvantage but he didn't care.
"Flamedramon, no!" the others shouted as he hit the water.
Flamedramon paid no heed to them. The only thing that mattered to him was to get Davis out of Seadramon's grip. Flamedramon did a lot of swimming underwater, which improved how long he could hold his breath before resurfacing. He could be underwater for an unbelievable full hour before resurfacing.
A few moments later, he, and the enslaved Mega Seadramon saw what looked llike another Seadramon heading their way. As this Seadramon got closer, they saw that it had some kind of armor with a horn sticking out on its head. This was a Mega Seadramon, Seadramon's Ultimate form.
'Oh great, now we have an Ultimate to face as well,' Flamedramon thought.
But that wasn't true. The Mega Seadramon attacked the enslaved Seadramon.
"Lightning Javelin!" Mega Seadramon shouted.
Seadramon barely got out of the way. But Mega Seadramon kept coming. It wanted to help save Davis.
"Ice Blast!" Seadramon shouted.
"Lightning Javelin!" Mega Seadramon countered.
The Lightning Javelin cancelled the Ice Blast. The battle raged on for half an hour. Flamedramon then saw an opening. Mega Seadramon had worn Seadramon down so much that Seadramon dramatically slowed down. Flamedramon went in and slashed at the dark ring on its tail. He really didn't get that far since he couldn't use his fire attacks. A well placed Lightning Javelin helped to destroy the dark ring.
Seadramon let go of Davis. Flamedramon quickly grabbed Davis and swam for the lakebed. The other Digidestined looked at the water in worry until they saw Flamedramon surface with Davis. Flamedramon reached shore a few moments later and came out of the lake with Davis. The race to save Davis wasn't over yet because he wasn't breathing. Flamedramon put Davis down.
"We have to act fast. Davis's time is running out," Flamedramon said.
Tai and Mimi went to Davis's side.
"Mimi, you do the chest compressions. I'll do the breathing," Tai said.
"Let's hurry," Mimi said.
Tai breathed into Davis after Mimi pressed Davis's chest ten times. Nothing happened, but they wouldn't give up. They continued effortlessly, and it finally paid off twenty later when Davis coughed up water. The others had major relief on their faces.
"Are you all right?" Matt asked.
"Yeah," Davis responded. "What happened?" he added.
"Flamedramon dove in after you when Seadramon pulled you down," Armadillomon responded.
Before Davis could ask another question, the group of Seadramon and the Mega Seadramon surfaced near them. The Digidestined feared the worst, but that changed to relief when the Seadramon showed that they no longer had the dark rings on their tails.
"Thanks Mega Seadramon for helping me save Davis," Flamedramon said.
"It was no problem," Mega Seadramon said.
"How did you know that we were here?" Davis asked.
"I followed the Seadramon here. They were just going for a relaxing swim themselves when the dark rings snapped around their tails. I knew that they headed to attack you and your friends so I came to help," Mega Seadramon responded. Then he and the other Seadramon swam away.

| End Flashback |

Wormmon only hoped to warn the Digidestined about what happened before the two Digimon struck. Unfortunately, that wouldn't be easy because Ken had cameras in every sector of the Digital World now. His enslaved Digimon helped with putting the cameras up. But Wormmon knew that he had to find a way to warn the Digidestined. The next day, the younger Digidestined returned to the Digital World. Everything was quiet, too quiet. They knew that something big was going to happen.
"I don't like how calm it is today. It's making me feel uneasy," Cody said.
"There's no argument about that from any of us," Patamon said.
They were unaware that a secret camera was nearby. Ken saw that the Digidestined had returned to the Digital World.
"The time has come for them to meet their end. Okuwamon, Mega Seadramon, seek and destroy," Ken commanded the two Digimon.
The Digimon left immediately to seek and destroy the Digidestined. Then Ken turned off the camera in that area, figuring that he had no need to have it on. That was the break that Wormmon needed. He quickly snuck out of the base and Digivolved to Stingmon. He knew that he could make it to the Digidestined faster than the Ultimate-level Digimon could.
'I've got to make it in time to warn them,' he thought as he flew as fast as he could. He was sure to stay out of the cameras sight. He secretly thanked Ken for showing him[Stingmon] where all the cameras were; Ken had shown Wormmon where the cameras were before the Digidestined returned to the Digital World. He could travel undetected that way.
Luck was on his side because he did make it before the Ultimates did. The Digimon saw him and told their partners of his arrival. Stingmon landed. They could see the worry in his eyes.
"What's wrong Stingmon?" TK asked.
"Ken has enslaved an Okuwamon and a Mega Seadramon," Stingmon responded.
The others noticed the worry when he mentioned Mega Seadramon.
"What's wrong?" Davis asked.
"This Mega Seadramon is the same one that helped save your life Davis. I was thee when the group of Seadramon attacked you and your friends," Stingmon responded. As he expected, Davis had a very shocked expression on his face.
"Are you serious?" Davis asked.
"I'm very serious Davis," Stingmon responded. "You and your friends are going to have to face a friend."
"Lightning Javelin!" a voice shouted.
The attack destroyed some nearby trees, revealing the Mega Seadramon and Okuwamon. Okuwamon gathered energy in his horns on his head.
"Double Scissor Claw!" Okuwamon shouted, firing the attack.
"Scatter everyone!" Kari shouted.
Everyone got out of the attack's path, and it sliced through five more trees. Back at the base, Ken had turned on the camera of the battle site. He had decided that he would like to see the end of the Digidestined after all. He was very pleased at what he saw.
"Let's do this Veemon," Davis said. "We need an Ultimate to face those two Ultimates."
"I'm always ready Davis," Veemon said.
"Digi Armor Energize!" Davis shouted.
"Veemon Armor Digivolve to...Flamedramon: The Fire of Courage!"
Then Davis's D3 shone a bright golden-orange light. The light surrounded Flamedramon.
"Flamedramon Digivolve to...Titan Flamedramon!"
"Show them what you can do," Davis said.
"You got it Davis," Titan Flamedramon said before spreading his wings and flying into the air. "Are you ready to rumble?" he asked the two Digimon.
"We wouldn't have it any other way," Mega Seadramon and Okuwamon responded.
The battle between Titan Flamedramon, Mega Seadramon and Okuwamon began.
"Lightning Javelin!"
"Double Scissor Claw!"
The two attacks came at Titan Flamedramon from opposite directions. But he remained calm because he knew what to do. He began to spin around in place.
"Dragon Fire!" he shouted, using it at half strength.
The attack formed a ring around him as he spun around. The two opposing attacks were cancelled in the Dragon Fire. Titan Flamedramon knew that his attack at half strength would still me more than needed to cancel out the two attacks. As an Ultimate, the Dragon Fire at half strength was as hot as the sun.
"Whoa, that was amazing!" Davis said in awe.
"I agree with you there," Armadillomon said in awe.
Everyone agreed with Davis. Even Mega Seadramon and Okuwamon were amazed at what Titan Flamedramon did. But they regained their composure. Electricity began to form around Mega Seadramon. The electricity took the shape of a dragon.
"Thunder Dragon!" Mega Seadramon shouted, firing the attack.
"Titanium Blast!" Titan Flamedramon shouted. He had anticipated a big attack and had gathered energy of his own.
The two attacks collided. Much of the energy from the Titanium Blast cancelled out the Thunder Dragon. But some of it went right through and straight into Mega Seadramon. Mega Seadramon was hurt, but not too much since most of the Titanium Blast cancelled out the Thunder Dragon attack. The battle between Mega Seadramon and Titan Flamedramon raged on. They still went at it two hours later.
Okuwamon saw that he was close to TK. TK was so focused on the battle between Titan Flamedramon and Mega Seadramon to notice Okuwamon. Okuwamon shot his Double Scissor Claw at Titan Flamedramon. Even though Titan Flamedramon didn't see the attack coming, it didn't hurt him due to his armor. But it gave Mega Seadramon the chance to get to TK without him[Titan Flamedramon] knowing.
Mega Seadramon stayed in the air, but got behind TK. Electricity began to form in his horn. No one noticed Mega Seadramon except for Davis. He saw Mega Seadramon ready to attack. Mega Seadramon didn't even shout the name of his attack. He just fired it because he didn't want anyone, especially TK finding out. But someone already knew.
"TK, look out!" Davis shouted. He ran to and pushed TK out of the way. Unfortunately, he wasn't so fortunate.
The attacked slammed into him at full force. He screamed in intense pain as the attack did severe damage to him. If that wasn't bad enough, Okuwamon launched his Double Scissor Claw immediately afterwards, critically injuring Davis even more.
"Davis!" the Digidestined and their Digimon shouted.
"Lightning Javelin!"
"Double Scissor Claw!"
The two attacks streamed from TK again. This time, everyone but TK saw them.
"Look out TK!" Patamon shouted.
TK looked back and saw the attacks. He got out of the way just in time. Up in the air, Titan Flamedramon balled his fists. He felt extreme anger at Okuwamon for hurting Davis after Mega Seadramon did enough damage. He knew that Mega Seadramon wasn't at fault for its actions so he didn't feel angry at it.
"Okuwamon! You hurt Davis when he was seriously hurt already. For that, I will destroy you myself!" Titan Flamedramon said.
A fiery aura surrounded him. It first formed into a pillar of fire. The fire grew a lot stronger because his anger fueled it. Then the fire took the shape of a Chinese-looking dragon. The fiery dragon was twice as long as Mega Seadramon.
"You will pay for this! Wrath of the Dragons!" he shouted, aiming the attack straight for Okuwamon.
The attack swiftly approached Okuwamon. Okuwamon had no time to get out of the way as the attack slammed into him. He screamed in pain as the very strong attack ripped his body apart into data. The fiery attack then burned up the data that was once Okuwamon. The Digidestined and their Digimon were awestruck by the new attack.
"Whoa! Remind me not to ever make Titan Flamedramon angry," Gatomon said.
"No kidding," Hawkmon said.
Mega Seadramon now showed fear. He knew that Titan Flamedramon could easily do that to him as well. But Titan Flamedramon didn't intend to destroy Mega Seadramon. Titan Flamedramon flew swiftly. It was so fast, that Mega Seadramon couldn't see him. He launched his Dragon Fire at the drak spiral, destroying it.
Mega Seadramon shook his head to clear it. "What happened?" he asked. He looked down and saw the other Digidestined and their Digimon circling around a severely injured Davis. "What have I done?" he asked in horror.
"It wasn't your fault my friend. You were under the Digimon Emperor's control," Titan Flamedramon said.
Mega Seadramon recognized the Digimon's voice. "Is that you Flamedramon?"
"I am Titan Flamedramon now," Titan Flamedramon responded before landing in the middle of the circle. "This is all my fault. I should have seen the attack."
"It's not your fault Titan Flamedramon. None of us saw the attack until it was too late," Cody said.
"We have to go back to the Real World. We need to get Davis to the hospital and fast," TK said.
The others nodded. The other Digidestined except Cody had their Digimon Armor Digivolve. Cody and Armadillomon got on Pegasusmon's back with TK. Titan Flamedramon very carefully picked up Davis, and the flying Digimon flew off. They landed next to a port, and TK, Cody, Armadillomon, Yolie and Kari got off the Armor Digimon. Then those Digimon reverted back to their Rookie forms.
"Let's hurry. Digiport Open!" Kari said.
The Digidestined and their Digimon were transported back to the school. When they arrived, they got a huge surprise. Titan Flamedramon had only Dedigivolved back to Flamedramon. He still held Davis in his arms.
"How come you didn't fully revert yet?" Upamon asked.
"I want to help you get Davis to the hospital. I was determined to help. My determination got so strong that I didn't Dedigivolve all the way to my in-training form," Flamedramon responded.
"You and Davis really are almost alike in every way," Cody said. "The hospital is a good ways from here. We'll need to travel fast."
"Did someone say travel fast?" a voice asked.
Everyone looked back and saw Tai. They parted so he could see what happened. He was very worried when he saw Davis unconscious and badly bleeding in Flamedramon's arms.
"Come on guys. We'll take my mother's van," Tai said.
Everyone rushed outside. Tai's mother waited when they all came into the van.
"We need to get Davis to the hospital mom," Tai said.
"Where is he?" Mrs. Kamiya asked.
"He's in Flamedramon's arms. Flamedramon is going to follow us from the air," Kari responded.
Mrs. Kamiya nodded and started the engine. She sped off towards the hospital with Flamedramon following from the air.
A normally hour drive to the hospital took only half an hour because of how fast Mrs. Kamiya and Flamedramon went. Flamedramon landed next to the van and walked inside the hospital with the others. The receptionist was about to ask what she could help them with when she saw a badly bleeding Davis in Flamedramon's arms. She called for the doctors, and they came out with a stretcher ready.
Flamedramon put Davis on the stretcher, and the doctors rushed Davis to the Emergency Room. Everyone only hoped that Davis would be all right. The receptionist, Mrs. Kamiya and Tai all wanted to know what happened.
"It happened when Titan Flamedramon battled against two Ultimate-level Digimon, one a good-natured Mega Seadramon, and a completely rotten-tempered Okuwamon. The Digimon Emperor enslaved them. Davis had Veemon Armor Digivolve to Flamedramon and then Digivolve to Titan Flamedramon. Then Titan Flamedramon battled the two Digimon.
For the most part, it was a battle between Titan Flamedramon and Mega Seadramon. Two hours later, Okuwamon distracted Titan Flamedramon, giving Mega Seadramon a chance to get away from the battle area. I was unaware that Mega Seadramon got behind me. It secretly threw a Lightning Javelin attack at me. Davis saw it and pushed me out of the way. Unfortunately, he couldn't get out of the way and was hit instead.
Okuwamon then hit him with its Double Scissor Claw attack. Titan Flamedramon got very angry with Okuwamon and unleashead a Wrath of the Dragons attack. That attack looks like a fiery Chinese-looking dragon. It destroyed Okuwamon. Then Titan Flamedramon destroyed the dark spiral controlling Mega Seadramon. Then we came back here and found out that Titan Flamedramon had only Dedigivolved back to his Armor Champion form. You know the rest Tai and Mrs. Kamiya," TK responded.
"Wow, that must have been quite a battle," Tai said.
"It was," Flamedramon said.
Then one of the doctors came out of the ER. He went to the waiting room where he saw the others. He saw the looks of anticipation on everyone's faces. "Your friend is in critical condition, but he will make a full recovery. You were lucky that you came when you did or else he would've died," he said.
"That's really good news," Kari said.
"May we see him?" Patamon asked.
"Yes you may. Come with me," the doctor responded and led them to the room that occupied Davis.
The group make themselves comfortable. Yolie and Cody called their parents, telling them what happened. Kari called her father, also telling what happened. Then Mrs. Kamiya called Davis's parents. TK called his mother and brother, and they all came down to the hospital.
Davis's injuries were so bad that it took a full month for him to completely recover. He also regained consciousness then. Kari, TK, Yolie, Cody, their Digimon, Matt and Flamedramon were there. They were very glad to see Davis conscious.
"Are you all right?" Flamedramon asked.
"Yeah. How long was I out?" Davis asked.
"A month," Yolie responded.l
"What?" Davis asked in shock.
"You were out for a month Davis. Our parents and the older Digidestined all came to visit you. Until the doctor told us that you would make a full recovery, we thought that you weren't going to make it," Cody said.
"I didn't want to leave you guys. We have to stay together if we're going to defeat the Digimon Emperor," Davis said.
"Thank you for saving my life Davis," TK said.
"It was nothing TK. I'd do anything to help a friend," Davis said.
"And you are a freind, a very good friend," TK said.
"Friendship is a very powerful thing. Davis proved that to us," Matt said.
After Davis was released, Flamedramon took him back home. It was then that Flamedramon Dedigivolved all the way to Demiveemon. Demiveemon and Davis's family were very glad to that Davis was all right. All of his friends were glad to see that he would be all right. After what happened, the Digidestined and their Digimon were more determined to end the Digimon Emperor's enslavement of the Digital World once and for all.



Well, that's the end of this chapter. It appears that Davis and Veemon's equally very strong determination is really starting to show. As far as Titan Flamedramon's new attack, I know that it may sound familiar to what another author did on ff.net, but the big difference with what I did is the description of the attack. I didn't just say that it looked like a dragon, I said that it looked like a Chinese-looking dragon that was twice as long as Mega Seadramon. So please don't criticize me about that because there will be no reason. Anyway, preview for Chapter 7: Dark Magna Angemon: The Digimon Emperor kidnaps Patamon while the Digidestined battle some of his enslaved Digimon. When Patamon gets the dark spiral placed on him, it causes a hazard Digivolution. Don't just expect Dark Magna Angemon to look like Magna Angemon, only darker because I have something a little bigger in mind so you're going to want to stay tuned for that.

Again, I thank Lance for giving the suggestion for Angemon to be forced to face the Digidestined. I'm still looking for your opinions about what Champion or Ultimate-level Digimon you would like to see in my story. It doesn't matter what Digimon it is. Like Lance did, he chose Angemon. This brings me to ask you something. I'm thinking about possibly having the Digimon Emperor enslave Titan Flamedramon. The poll is: Should Titan Flamedramon be enslaved or not? If I receive more yes responses, I will do that in Chapter 8. I want to give you as much say in this. Just be sure to stay within constructive standards though OK?

Oh, and congratulations to those who guessed that TK would be the target of Mega Seadramon and Okuwamon. As far as you Yugioh fic readers, I have finished the next chapter of A New World and will have it posted soon.
