Recap: The Digimon Emperor decided to pit Flamedramon against the Digidestined. Flamedramon was only out for a flight when a dark spiral secretly latched onto him. As Titan Flamedramon, he easily dealt with Halsemon, Pegasusmon, Nefertimon and Digmon. Then he put his sights on Davis, but he kept holding back the energy of his attacks, which is very unusual for a Digimon under the Digimon Emperor's control. Davis figured out that it meant that his partner wasn't fully under control, and helped Titan Flamedramon to break the control.

Chapter 9: The Dragon Lord
Davis slowly recovered form his experience. Having to face off against his best Digimon friend had been the scariest thing he'd ever done so far. Flamedramon couldn't help but still feel guilty even though he knew that he wasn't himself. He thought that he could've actually killed his friend.
"Stop feeling guilty Flamedramon. You don't need to be doing this to yourself," Davis said.
"I'm sorry Davis. But I can't shake the thought that I almost killed you," Flamedramon said.
"Almost just about doesn't mean anything Flamedramon. Almost doesn't mean that you did," Davis said.
"You're right. Thank you," Flamedramon said as he stopped punishing himself.
"Anytime old friend," Davis said.
When nighttime rolled around, Flamedramon Dedigivolved to Veemon and fell alseep next to Davis. Then a strange dream came to Veemon.
| The Dream |
Veemon was in a secret cave of some kind. There were many kinds of Rookie, Champion and Ultimate vaccine and data dragon Digimon. They all looked at him for some reason. Veemon found it pretty uncomfortable to be the sole source of attention. He wondered why everyone was looking at him.
"Veemon, come forth," a deep voice said.
Veemon took note that this voice was a lot deeper than his voice as Flamedramon. He walked forward. He soon came to the source of the voice. It was a large dragon, but this dragon looked a lot different from the other dragon Digimon. This one looked like something you would see in a fairy tale. This dragon was green with a yellow stomach and stood on all fours. He had long claws that were as sharp as diamonds.
He had ears that looked like large and wide sideways bat's wings with bat wing-shaped holes in the middle, and had scales all over his body. He had large leathery wings and two long orange horns sticking straight up out of his head. This Digimon was a Mega-level Digimon.
"I am Ancient Dragonmon. I have summoned you for a specific purpose," the dragon said.
"For what purpose have you summoned me?" Veemon asked.
"I have summoned you because of your great hidden powers. You have tapped into some of them, but there are a great deal more," Ancient Dragonmon responded.
"So does that explain why I can do Dragon Fire and Wrath of the Dragons?" Veemon asked.
"Yes Veemon. That was some of the power that you tapped into. You have unlimited power in you. Your power is a great deal greater than even mine, and I have been here since the Digital World began," Ancient Dragonmon responded.
"Really?" Veemon asked.
"Yes you do. You are the mythical lord of all dragon Digimon, including the ancient ones," a Greymon(A/N: Not Tai's partner) said.
"I am?" Veemon asked. He couldn't believe what he heard.
"Yes you are my lord," an Agumon responded, bowing.
"But I know I don't look like a dragon lord," Veemon said.
"Your Mega form is the Dragon Lord," Ancient Dragonmon said.
"But I've never been a Mega before," Veemon said.
"You will my lord. An evil Mega-level Digimon is coming, and plans to claim the Digital World as his own. He knows about your partnerr and will do anything to make sure that your partner is disposed of," the Greymon responded.
"Who is he?" Veemon asked.
"The Lord of Darkness," Agumon responded.
"Your destiny awaits you. Good luck my lord," Ancient Dragonmon said.
| Dream Ends |
Veemon woke up from his dream. 'Whoa, that was one weird dream,' he thought. 'I wonder what Ancient Dragonmon meant.' He looked at Davis. 'I will be here to protect you from whatever is coming.'
Deep in the Digital World, a very sinister Digimon resided. This sinister Digimon was as powerful as he was evil and then some. He was a very powerful Mega-level Digimon. His name was Chaos Myotismon. He looked just about similar to Myotismon except he was all crimson. He also looked younger than Myotismon did. But don't let that fact fool you because this Digimon was the most powerful of all the dark and evil viral Digimon. He was called the Lord of Darkness for that reason.
No dark or evil viral Digimon had ever exceeded this Digimon in power. Even Daemon cowered before this Digimon's feet. He knew that the time was coming for him to claim the Digital World for his own. All those who opposed him would crumble before him. He had one primary objective first, and that was to get rid of the one called Davis Motomiya. He had watched Davis battle the forces of the Digimon Emperor. In Chaos Myotismon's opinion, the Digimon Emperor was a big amateur.
'That Digimon Emperor as he calls himself doesn't know anything about ruling the world with an iron fist. Controlling Digimon is not my style. It's all about fear. If they really fear you, they'll do everything you tell them to do out of fear that they'll be punished greatly if they fail,' Chaos Myotismon thought.
The next day, the younger Digidestined and their Digimon went to the Digital World. But something was different this time. Instead of arriving in a bright place, they arrived in a place of darkness. Kari shivered because she never felt this kind of darkness in her life(A/N: Kari never went to the Dark Ocean in this story).
"It's so dark here," Kari said.
"Tell me about it. It gives me the creeps," Gatomon added.
"I wonder why we were sent here," Cody said.
"You got me," Davis said.
They decided to walk around the dark place. The truth was that Chaos Myotismon brought them to his territory. He could bring Digimon and/or humans to his territory if he wanted. This was actually the first step in the fulfillment of the prophecy in Veemon's dream. Chaos Myotismon's army consisted of only dark and evil viral Ultimate and Mega-level Digimon, and all pretty powerful ones at that.
The Digidestined and Digimon continued to explore the dark place. Something suddenly exploded behind them. They looked back to see a huge crater in the ground where a large rock formation used to be. The Digimon Armor Digivolved, and Flamedramon became an Ultimate. They knew that they would have a fight on their hands.
"Be on alert everyone," Halsemon said.
"Right Halsemon," Yolie said.
"Get down everyone!" Titan Flamedramon shouted as he flew up with Davis.
Everyone else ducked just in time to avoid what looked like missiles with shark faces on them.
"That was a Giga Blaster attack," TK said.
"Wrong TK, that was a Giga Destroyer," Pegasusmon said.
"What do you mean?" TK asked.
"That was a Black Metal Greymon's attack," Nefertimon responded.
"Is everyone all right?" Titan Flamedramon asked before landing and putting Davis down.
"We are now thanks to you," Digmon said.
Then, a huge army of Ultimate and Mega-level Digimon came out. There were way too many of them to fight, but the army had them completely surrounded, preventing much of an escape attempt. All the opposing Digimon attacked at once.
"Titanium Shield!" Titan Flamedramon shouted.
All the attacks slammed into the shield. This time, Titan Flamedramon had a very hard time keeping the shield up since so many Digimon attacked at the same time. He didn't have a problem with the Centarumon because they were only Champion-level and only five of them attacked Davis and Yolie at once. In this scenario, there were a multiple amount of Ultimate and Mega-level Digimon, meaning that the attacks were a lot more powerful. The shield held true, but Titan Flamedramon was completely exhausted afterwards. He reverted to Veemon. It looked like the next time the opposing Digimon attacked would be the sure winner.
"I'm sorry you guys. There were just too many attacks coming at us," Veemon said.
"You did your best Veemon," Davis said.
The Ultimate and Mega Digimon prepared to fire again. Suddenly, the Digidestined and their Digimon disappeared. They reappeared at what looked like a holy land. They noticed all kinds of holy dragon Digimon. They saw a cave in front of them. This cave's mouth looked like that of a dragon. Veemon recognized it right away.
"Veemon," a deep voice called.
"What was that?" Halsemon asked.
"Veemon, the voice said again.
"I have to do something on my own. I'll be back when I'm done," Veemon responded. He then went into the cave. Just like in his dream, he saw the vaccine and data drago Digimon ranging from Rookie to Ultimate. He knew that what to do and walked forward. He stopped in front of Ancient Dragonmon. "What do you want of me Ancient Dragonmon?" he asked.
"You're aware of your dream?" the ancient dragon asked.
"Yes I am," Veemon responded. "Do you by chance happen to know why my friends and I were brought to a dark part of the Digital World?" he added.
"It wasn't just a dark part my lord. It was the darkest part of the Digital World, the Forest of Darkness. The Lord of Darkness somehow knew that you and your friends would come and intercepted you from where you intended to go. I was glad that I brought you and your friends here before his minions could destroy you," Ancient Dragonmon said.
"Who is this Lord of Darkness?" Veemon asked.
"He is called Chaos Myotismon. He is the most powerful of all the dark and evil viral Digimon. Daemon tried to go against him, but was severely outclassed. Daemon had a lot of potential to Chaos Myotismon, that that's the sole reason that Daemon is still alive," a Greymon responded.
"Now it's time for your hidden powers to come to the surface," Ancient Dragonmon said.
"But how do I bring these powers out?" Veemon asked.
Ancient Dragonmon was just about to answer when the cave shook. "We're under attack," he said. "Greymon, bring our lord's friends inside, quickly. I can sense the Lord of Darkness has arrived."
Greymon hurried out and ushered the Digidestined and their Digimon inside. He led them deep into the cave. The Digidestined and Digimon then saw what looked like a fairy-tale dragon.
"Who are you?" Davis asked.
"I am Ancient Dragonmon young squire," the dragon responded, bowing to Davis.
That bit of news shocked everyone, including Davis.
"Davis is a squire?" Cody asked.
"Yes he is," the dragon responded. "He is part of the prophecy as well as Veemon. A Digimon known as the Lord of Darkness has come to claim the Digital World as his own. I see that he has already started. You had a run in with his minions have you not?"
"Yes, and we were almost killed," Kari responded.
"The Lord of Darkness's Digimon army are Ultimate and Mega-level Digimon," a Greymon said.
"We found out. When Veemon was Titan Flamedramon, he exhausted himself to keep up his Titanium Shield because the opposing Digimon all fired at once," Armadillomon said.
"What's the prophecy?" TK asked.
"The prophecy is this: An evil Digimon once tried to plunge the world into darkness. His minions caused chaos and fear all over the land. He and the first Dragon Lord ended up battling for the fate of the Digital World. The Dragon Lord won and banished the Digimon and his minions to the Forest of Darkness. This Digimon will remain in solitude for 4,000 years. When exactly 4,000 years have passed, he will once again try to claim the Digital World. But he will become a lot more powerful than he was the first time. A human partnered with a mythical dragon Digimon will come to save the Digital World from this evil. For the human is the Digimon Squire, and the mythical Digimon is the all-powerful mythical Dragon Lord, the most powerful Digimon in the Digital World," Ancient Dragonmon responded.
"Who is this evil?" Pegasusmon asked.
"Chaos Myotismon. He is called the Lord of Darkness," Ancient Dragonmon responded. "He has been around since the Digital World began as well. You see my friends; I was the one he faced all those years ago. This day marks that exactly 4,000 years have passed, and I can sense that he is too powerful for me to handle now."
Then another blast shook the cave. The cave began to crumble.
"Everyone, outside quickly, this cave is falling apart!" Ancient Dragonmon said. He led them down the back way to another exit.
The cave continued to crumble around them as the Lord of Darkness and his Digimon continued to blast it. After a terrifying five minutes, all except one made it out of the cave.
"That was a close one," Pegasusmon said.
"We agree with you there," Halsemon said.
Veemon looked around frantically. He didn't see his partner anywhere.
"What's wrong Veemon?" Nefertimon asked.
"Where's Davis?" Veemon asked frantically.
The others looked around, now noticing that Davis wasn't with them.
"You don't suppose he's under all that do you?" a Metal Greymon asked.
Everyone else looked to see a huge pile of rubble that used to be the cave.
"Davis no!" Veemon shouted. He ran towards the debris.
"It will take us days to clear all that debris, even if we used our attacks. He won't last that long if he's even still alive under there," Ancient Dragonmon said.
"Well Ancient Dragonmon, it seems as though you have a little dilemma," Chaos Myotismon said. "That boy won't survive under there."
"I know he's still alive," Veemon said determinedly. "I will get him out of there myself if I have to."
"You can't do this by yourself," the Metal Greymon said.
"I can't just stand here and do nothing either," Veemon said. He didn't notice that he was glowing bright blue.
The others saw him glowing. Veemon felt stronger than he ever felt in his life. He looked at himself and saw that he was glowing. There was a faint glow from under the all the debris. Veemon smiled.
"I knew he was still alive! Hang on Davis. I'm going to get you out of there," Veemon said. He gave a determined cry as his light shone intensely bright.
The others, including Chaos Myotismon and his minions had to shield their eyes from the intense light.
"Where is that light coming from?" Chaos Myotismon asked.
"It's coming from that little blue Digimon," a Black WarGreymon responded.
"How can that runt boy still be alive under all that rubble?" Chaos Myotismon asked.
"You have underestimated the power of the heart. That will be your downfall," Veemon said.
The light under the debris also became a little brighter. Veemon was very determined to get his friend and partner out of the crumbled cave. He soon saw the Egg of Courage over him. But there was something different about the egg this time. The egg looked like it was made of fire now. He then felt the light of Digivolution wash over him as the egg began to merge with him. But this was a new kind of Digivolution. This was what is known as the Warp-Armor Digivolution.
"Veemon Warp-Armor Digivolve to...Draco Flamedramon!"
Then the light died down, revealing the new Mega-level Digimon. The others looked at him in awe. Like Ancient Dragonmon, Draco Flamedramon looked like a fairy tale dragon. He stood on all fours, had a scaly body and had ears like Ancient Dragonmon's. But there were some very noticeable differences between the two. One is that he was still blue with a white stomach while Ancient Dragonmon was green with a yellow stomach. A second difference was that his horns were yellow instead of orange.
Another difference was that he was twice as large as Ancient Dragonmon with longer and even sharper claws. And the final difference was that he had the armor from the Digiegg of Courage on his face, chest, thighs and feet just as he did as Flamedramon. He wasted no time and began removing the debris. All it took was two swipes of his large spiked tail to clear all the debris off Davis. Davis was unconscious and badly wounded. Draco Flamedramon waked over to his partner.
"Celestial Healing!" Draco Flamedramon announced.
The others watched as what looked like a cluster of stars appear before Draco Flamedramon. But these were blue stars. The stars went into Davis, healing him of his wounds. Soon, Davis was completely healed and regained consciousness. He looked up to see a large four-legged blue and white dragon with sharp red eyes looking at him.
"Aaahhh!" he screamed. He didn't know that the Digimon was his partner.
"Don't be afraid Davis. It's me," the Digimon said.
Davis recognized the voice. Looking closely at the Digimon, he saw familiar pieces of armor on its body. "Is that you Flamedramon?" he asked.
"Yes Davis, but you can call me Draco Flamedramon now," the Digmon responded.
"Draco Flamedramon?" the others except Ancient Dragonmon asked.
"Yes my friends. I am Draco Flamedramon, the mythical Dragon Lord Digimon. I used the powers of the Digiegg of Courage to achieve a new kind of Mega Digivolution called the Warp-Armor Digivolution. You found out about my healing ability. My claws are sharper than diamonds. I still retain my Dragon Fire attack, only now it's the most powerful and hottest attack the universe has ever seen. My other attacks include the devastating Star Fire and the mighty Celestial Harmony," Draco Flamedramon responded.
Then something amazing happened. Davis glowed white and floated about twenty feet off the ground. The others could see white armor forming on his body. A helmet formed on his head, but his face was uncovered. A long wide sword formed in his right hand and a shield in his left. The glow then diminished as he floated back down to the ground. Draco Flamedramon had gotten underneath Davis so Davis ended up on his[Draco Flamedramon's] back.
"Nice to see you in your true form my friend," Draco Flamedramon said smiling.
"I'm glad that I'm finally in it," Davis said.
"Wow, you're a knight," TK said in awe.
"Yes I am TK," Davis said.
"He looks like a knight in shining armor," Digmon said in awe as well.
"Whoa! Nice armor Davis," Cody said in awe.
"Thank you Cody. I am the Digimon Squire, a powerful white knight and friend to the mythical Dragon Lord, now known as Draco Flamedramon. I wield the legendary Dragon Sword, a sword forged by the Digimon Gods themselves. Draco Flamedramon and I are powerful individually, but our power goes deeper than any have ever seen when we fight together," Davis said.
"Shall we show Chaos Myotismon and his army what we can do my friend?" Draco Flamedramon asked.
"With pleasure," Davis responded.
Draco Flamedramon spread his large wings and was airborne with one mighty flap of them. He flew towards Chaos Myotismon and the Digimon army.
"Good luck my lords," Ancient Dragonmon said as Draco Flamedramon and Davis headed for the large group of Digimon; Draco Flamedramon was eager for round two against those Digimon.
Done with this chapter. Well, this has got to be one of the biggest twists that I ever came up with so far. I have Davis as a white knight that was part of a four millennia old prophecy. And the new type of Digivolution too. Preview for Chapter 10: A Foe Becomes A Friend: The first battle in the war to save the Digital World gets underway. A close call with death will forever change one person's life.

Chapter 9: The Dragon Lord
Davis slowly recovered form his experience. Having to face off against his best Digimon friend had been the scariest thing he'd ever done so far. Flamedramon couldn't help but still feel guilty even though he knew that he wasn't himself. He thought that he could've actually killed his friend.
"Stop feeling guilty Flamedramon. You don't need to be doing this to yourself," Davis said.
"I'm sorry Davis. But I can't shake the thought that I almost killed you," Flamedramon said.
"Almost just about doesn't mean anything Flamedramon. Almost doesn't mean that you did," Davis said.
"You're right. Thank you," Flamedramon said as he stopped punishing himself.
"Anytime old friend," Davis said.
When nighttime rolled around, Flamedramon Dedigivolved to Veemon and fell alseep next to Davis. Then a strange dream came to Veemon.

Veemon looked around frantically. He didn't see his partner anywhere.
"What's wrong Veemon?" Nefertimon asked.
"Where's Davis?" Veemon asked frantically.
The others looked around, now noticing that Davis wasn't with them.
"You don't suppose he's under all that do you?" a Metal Greymon asked.
Everyone else looked to see a huge pile of rubble that used to be the cave.
"Davis no!" Veemon shouted. He ran towards the debris.
"It will take us days to clear all that debris, even if we used our attacks. He won't last that long if he's even still alive under there," Ancient Dragonmon said.
"Well Ancient Dragonmon, it seems as though you have a little dilemma," Chaos Myotismon said. "That boy won't survive under there."
"I know he's still alive," Veemon said determinedly. "I will get him out of there myself if I have to."
"You can't do this by yourself," the Metal Greymon said.
"I can't just stand here and do nothing either," Veemon said. He didn't notice that he was glowing bright blue.
The others saw him glowing. Veemon felt stronger than he ever felt in his life. He looked at himself and saw that he was glowing. There was a faint glow from under the all the debris. Veemon smiled.
"I knew he was still alive! Hang on Davis. I'm going to get you out of there," Veemon said. He gave a determined cry as his light shone intensely bright.
The others, including Chaos Myotismon and his minions had to shield their eyes from the intense light.
"Where is that light coming from?" Chaos Myotismon asked.
"It's coming from that little blue Digimon," a Black WarGreymon responded.
"How can that runt boy still be alive under all that rubble?" Chaos Myotismon asked.
"You have underestimated the power of the heart. That will be your downfall," Veemon said.
The light under the debris also became a little brighter. Veemon was very determined to get his friend and partner out of the crumbled cave. He soon saw the Egg of Courage over him. But there was something different about the egg this time. The egg looked like it was made of fire now. He then felt the light of Digivolution wash over him as the egg began to merge with him. But this was a new kind of Digivolution. This was what is known as the Warp-Armor Digivolution.
"Veemon Warp-Armor Digivolve to...Draco Flamedramon!"
Then the light died down, revealing the new Mega-level Digimon. The others looked at him in awe. Like Ancient Dragonmon, Draco Flamedramon looked like a fairy tale dragon. He stood on all fours, had a scaly body and had ears like Ancient Dragonmon's. But there were some very noticeable differences between the two. One is that he was still blue with a white stomach while Ancient Dragonmon was green with a yellow stomach. A second difference was that his horns were yellow instead of orange.
Another difference was that he was twice as large as Ancient Dragonmon with longer and even sharper claws. And the final difference was that he had the armor from the Digiegg of Courage on his face, chest, thighs and feet just as he did as Flamedramon. He wasted no time and began removing the debris. All it took was two swipes of his large spiked tail to clear all the debris off Davis. Davis was unconscious and badly wounded. Draco Flamedramon waked over to his partner.
"Celestial Healing!" Draco Flamedramon announced.
The others watched as what looked like a cluster of stars appear before Draco Flamedramon. But these were blue stars. The stars went into Davis, healing him of his wounds. Soon, Davis was completely healed and regained consciousness. He looked up to see a large four-legged blue and white dragon with sharp red eyes looking at him.
"Aaahhh!" he screamed. He didn't know that the Digimon was his partner.
"Don't be afraid Davis. It's me," the Digimon said.
Davis recognized the voice. Looking closely at the Digimon, he saw familiar pieces of armor on its body. "Is that you Flamedramon?" he asked.
"Yes Davis, but you can call me Draco Flamedramon now," the Digmon responded.
"Draco Flamedramon?" the others except Ancient Dragonmon asked.
"Yes my friends. I am Draco Flamedramon, the mythical Dragon Lord Digimon. I used the powers of the Digiegg of Courage to achieve a new kind of Mega Digivolution called the Warp-Armor Digivolution. You found out about my healing ability. My claws are sharper than diamonds. I still retain my Dragon Fire attack, only now it's the most powerful and hottest attack the universe has ever seen. My other attacks include the devastating Star Fire and the mighty Celestial Harmony," Draco Flamedramon responded.
Then something amazing happened. Davis glowed white and floated about twenty feet off the ground. The others could see white armor forming on his body. A helmet formed on his head, but his face was uncovered. A long wide sword formed in his right hand and a shield in his left. The glow then diminished as he floated back down to the ground. Draco Flamedramon had gotten underneath Davis so Davis ended up on his[Draco Flamedramon's] back.
"Nice to see you in your true form my friend," Draco Flamedramon said smiling.
"I'm glad that I'm finally in it," Davis said.
"Wow, you're a knight," TK said in awe.
"Yes I am TK," Davis said.
"He looks like a knight in shining armor," Digmon said in awe as well.
"Whoa! Nice armor Davis," Cody said in awe.
"Thank you Cody. I am the Digimon Squire, a powerful white knight and friend to the mythical Dragon Lord, now known as Draco Flamedramon. I wield the legendary Dragon Sword, a sword forged by the Digimon Gods themselves. Draco Flamedramon and I are powerful individually, but our power goes deeper than any have ever seen when we fight together," Davis said.
"Shall we show Chaos Myotismon and his army what we can do my friend?" Draco Flamedramon asked.
"With pleasure," Davis responded.
Draco Flamedramon spread his large wings and was airborne with one mighty flap of them. He flew towards Chaos Myotismon and the Digimon army.
"Good luck my lords," Ancient Dragonmon said as Draco Flamedramon and Davis headed for the large group of Digimon; Draco Flamedramon was eager for round two against those Digimon.
Done with this chapter. Well, this has got to be one of the biggest twists that I ever came up with so far. I have Davis as a white knight that was part of a four millennia old prophecy. And the new type of Digivolution too. Preview for Chapter 10: A Foe Becomes A Friend: The first battle in the war to save the Digital World gets underway. A close call with death will forever change one person's life.
