Well, we're caught up now, so here's Chapter 2. Note: This chapter is REALLY LONG, so have patience, and a small supply of Coffee.

Picking up from where we left off with Siegegreymon and Rookpiedmon...... The lance strikes Mimi, but no harm comes to her. Everyone stops to look at her. She picks up the lance, looks at it, seeing nothing, no blood, no clothing, no anything to show it had hit her, on it, then looking for where it hit her, but to everyone's amazement, no wound. Then the pain and the shock kicks in. Mimi doubles over in pain, screaming. Siegegreymon and Rookpiedmon sit down on the pavement and look dumbfounded. Rookpiedmon looks at Siegegreymon and asks, "Okay, now I'm baffled. Shouldn't that of killed her?" Siegegreymon replies, "I'm just as confused as you. Let's like....., put a rain check on this fight because, I mean, after seeing that, my mind's blown." Rookpiedmon stares out at her. "My head hurts. I'm going to that Eckerd pharmacy down the street. I need some aspirin." Rookpiedmon walks off into the night. Siegegreymon reverts to Agumon and continues to just sit there. A minute later, Mimi gets up. "Hey, a dime!!" She grabs the change and pockets it. "What just happened?" A silent breeze gusted by. No one spoke. "Eh, maybe we should go." Mimi picks up the lance that supposedly struck her and heads across the street. Tai and the others follow her to one of the apartments. She opens the door and there watching TV is Lewis's roommate, Oswald. "Hi, Mimi!!" He says to her. "Did Lewis manage to get anything?" "No. This is Tai, Sora, Agumon, Yokomon, and...... Jake, I think. Lewis met them, tried to explain our plight, 9 o' clock passed, got attacked by an evil digimon, yada, yada, yada.... Now here's the weird thing. This lance went through me. Here's the blood on it to prove it, yet I'm not hurt." Oswald looks at her and says, "Suuuurrrrrrrrrrre........ and I'm a rocket scientist, but if what you say is true, then I say that because you are three unmerged physical forms sharing the same space, that you partially out of phase. See, the lance did go through, but because the variance, it couldn't do any real harm, just hurt... a lot." Jake asks, "Hey, how'd you come up with that theory?" "Oh, I didn't. I got it off of Star Trek: The Next Generation. You know, the episode where the Enterprise finds the USS Pegasus melded into an asteroid because they tried to use a 'Phase Cloak,' a cloaking device that allows the cloaked object to pass through solids as though they weren't there." Jake says to Oswald, "You got the wrong guy. I'm no Trekkie." Mimi says to Tai and Sora, "He's not that smart, has a short attention span, and he's gullible, but he can turn out some great theories, and all, according to him, come from watching TV." Oswald gets up and states, "Well, time to prove it. He goes to the kitchen and gets a butcher knife, comes back in the room, and throws it at Mimi's head. Not only does it do what the lance did, it starts glowing after it hits the floor. "I need some ice." Mimi responds, grabbing her head. "Ya know, it didn't hurt as bad." Everyone else goes to the knife. "No one touch it." Tai says. "Don't know what will happen if we touch it. I say we all get some sleep." Mimi comes back with an aluminum can on her head. "Man, Lewis needs to buy an ice pack." In her head, Lewis says, "Oh shut up Mimi. Besides, can you drink an ice pack after you're done with it?" Lilymon backs him up. "He has a point, you know. Wait, what do you do when you're out though?" Mimi says aloud, "Hah!! I'm right...." Everyone stares at her. "I'm trying to prove something to Lewis." Jake says to her, "Ever hear of 'Inner Monologue?'" Sora asks, "Well, I'm all for a good night's sleep, but who's going to watch Yokomon?" Mimi interrupts, "Well, seeing as how we haven't really needed to sleep since this whole fiasco started, I'll watch her." Everyone goes to bed.

Hours pass by as Mimi and Yokomon watch TV. About 4:58 AM Oswald gets up and goes to the kitchen. "Hey, Mimi, why don't you turn the Fox 8 Morning News on? I gotta go to work in an hour. I wanna see if it's going to be hot like yesterday was." He walks to the knife he threw the night before. "Hey, what's this doing in the floor?" Yokomon, feeling much better, looks at Oswald and then asks Mimi, "Okay, he should remember that he threw it at you last night." Mimi responds, "Well, Yokomon, it always takes him a half-hour after waking up to remember what he did the day before. He's a deep sleeper. It's okay as long as he doesn't pick it up." And he picks it up. Nothing happens. The clock strikes 5 AM. Mimi doubles over and starts glowing, for Lilymon's shift was beginning. Oswald takes the knife to the kitchen. "I'll wash it when I get home." He tosses it into the sink, and then there is a magnificent glow, and then a spire of light busts through the roof..... We'll get back to this in a moment.

At Genai's house, Izzy implemented his plan. Archangemon flew by and caused Metalseadramon to incinerate the Skullgreymon, and the Megaseadramon to electicute Metaletemon.

"Gauntlet of Destiny!!"

He hit Metalseadramon with the violent uppercut, then turned and cut 3 Tyranomon to pieces.

"Hypnotic Cloak!!"

The Skullmeramon are stunned. They start shooting everything that moves, because everything they see looks like Odinkabuterimon. All the Tyranomon are destroyed, along with the Redveggiemon. He hovers over them, staring.

"Eye of Odin!!"

"Metal Fireball!!"

The bolt slammed through the fireballs, dispelling them, and did major damage. Most of them died instantaneously. Some even exploded from the magnitude of the attack. After the bolt stopped, only 6 were left. Then Mjr. Spencer yelled out, "Looky what I found..... My very own nuke. Call them off or we'll all be extra crispy night lights." Archangemon and Odinkabuterimon go back to Izzy & TK. Myotismon, seeing as how he would be captured too, decided that it would be more worthwhile to go out fighting than in a prison. He flies up an strikes the nuke from Spencer's hands. Venommerimon rushes him.

"Diablo Chain!!" yelled Venommerimon.

Myotismon falls to the ground, on fire. Spencer picks up the nuke. Over his shoulders comes Lucimon. Lucimon says to Mjr. Spencer, "Good work. Now take the prisoners to my fortress for execution...." The light mentioned earlier slams down on the lake's shore. On the real world side, Mimi, bent over in her polymorph, passes out. A sphere of light shoots out her back and takes a human form and a crystal flies out of the light and lands in front of her. Tai, Sora, Agumon, Biyomon, Oswald, and Jake find themselves awoken on the shore. Tai & Sora's digivices now look just like Lewis's and Mimi's, except Tai's is white & orange and Sora's is white & red. All the digimon revert to their Rookie level as the light dissipates. Gomamon is thrown into the lake by the light. "Ah. So Rookpiedmon is better than I thought. My question is, how'd he do that? No matter. That light just made my job easier. Round 'em up and move out!!" Lucimon remarks.

2 hours later, Lewis wakes up and sees the on-screen clock on the TV. "Hey, I shouldn't have control yet." He looks at his hands and gets up. "I'm free, I'm free!! Woohoo!!!" He runs to tell everyone, but he finds the 2 bedrooms empty. "Okay, what's going on..." He walks down the hall and as he's about to go the kitchen, he trips over something. "What the...... It looks like..... Well, it has physical qualities of both Mimi and Lilymon. Let's wake her up." He goes towards the sink to find that it is gone, replaced by a smoldering hole and welded pipes. "Okay.... Plan B." He goes to the fridge and dumps a whole tray of ice on her. "Wake up!!" She starts waking up. She gets up, and in Mimi's voice, says, "Ahhhh... I feel like I've been hit my Machinedramon's Giga Blaster." "Uh, I wouldn't look in a mirror if I were you." She goes over to the bathroom to wash her face when she looked up and saw what had happened. A loud scream filled the apartment. "Is this some sort of bad dream?" "Nope, it's real. Another thing. Everyone's gone except us. I also found these near you." He holds up a Silver Tag and a new Crest. "This must be mine, because I have a digivice and this crest is unlike the ones you know. This though is odd." He holds up an amulet shaped like the Crest of Sincerity with on the right side the Crest of Sincerity and on the left the Crest of Courage. "I found this as well." He holds a yellow-green crystal. "I think it goes here." He inserts it into the center of the amulet and the crystal flashes and starts floating in the center, exactly between the two Crests. "I think it's for you." Mimi, still trying to get her bearings, decides to put it on. The same light appears and they find themselves where the others ended up, but they had been gone for a while.

Gomamon comes to the surface. "Lilymo........ Mimi??????" He turns to Lewis. "Who are you?? What's going on??" Lewis looks at him and says, "I'm Lewis, and this is.... Let's see. Part of her is digimon and the other part human.. Hmmmm......... That's it!! You're Lilysapia!!" Mimi looks at him and says, "I still prefer Mimi. Lilymon and I have come to a mutual agreement." "I know, but as far as the digital world is concerned, you are Lilysapia. Lily, derived from Lilymon, and sapia, derived from the Latin for Human, Homo Sapiens. I think that in this state you could digivolve, and your derived name is what you'll use to mark your levels. At least, this is my hypothesis." Gomamon sits there trying to comprehend all that was just said when Mimi asks, "Where's the others?" He explains all that happened to them, then Lewis says, "Did you ever get in the house?" "Yeah, but I can't break the lock, and it's too heavy to move, but I check this book. According to it, your Crest is the Crest of Tranquility, which promotes order and calm thought, and the 10th Crest is the Crest of Devotion, which promotes devotion to a cause. It would be corrupted if the wearer was apathetic."

Then, out of the water burst Metaletemon. "Hah, You thought those Megaseadramon zapped me, but, who you two? I don't care. I'll destroy you anyway."

"Banana Slip!!"

Lewis and Gomamon go flying into the lake. Mimi stands there and fires Lilymon's Flower Cannon. No result. She responds, "I hope Lewis is right." She closes her eyes as Metaletemon charges and focuses. The Crest of Sincerity starts glowing.

"Lilysapia Warp Digivolve to Dryadsapia!!"

"Amazon Thrust!!"

"Metal Fist!!"

Mimi's new staff opens and becomes a halberd. A giant explosion rips across the shore. Gomamon and Lewis surface. "Man, I wish I could help, but without Joe I can't digivolve." Gomamon says. "Oh, how you are so wrong." Lewis's crest starts glowing.

"Gomamon Warp Digivolve to NorseZudomon!!"

"But how....?" NorseZudomon queries. "You said it yourself. The Crest of Tranquility is meant to promote a clear mind. But what you don't know is that with a clear mind, anything is possible. All traits, good and evil, start from a clean slate. I think I know why I will have no digimon. My power is meant to act as a 'Substitute Digidestined' whenever one of the others is out of commision." Lewis jumps out of the lake, and with his thoughts, brandishes a 13' long sword resembling Cloud's Sword from FF7. NorseZudomon follows suit. Meanwhile, Mimi is hovering out of control while firing the Flower Staff at Metaletemon. "Help me. I need flying lessons." Metaletemon jumps into the air.

"Metal Fist!!"

Mimi is knocked onto the ground, with Metaletemon standing on top of her. "Why me. I didn't ask for this!!" Mimi whines. NorseZudomon starts to charge with his hammer drawn when Metaletemon uses Banana Slip and makes him trip, throw his hammer into the air and drop on his head, stunning him. Lewis leaps into action and slashes Metaletemon, knocking him on his back and cutting his left hand off.

"Dryadsapia Warp Digivolve to TitaniaLilysapia!!"

"NorseZudomon Warp Digivolve to NeptuneZudomon!!"

"Elven Bow!!" yells Mimi

"Poseidon's Trident!!" calls NeptuneZudomon

Both attacks hit and annihilate Metaletemon. "NeptuneZudomon, get that chest and anything else we need. NeptuneZudomon leaps into the air, over the lake, and pulls out a what looks like a spear gun.

"Harpoon Cannon!!"

He goes down and resurfaces minutes later with the chest and a crate. He opens each with no effort and then reverts to Bukamon. "Ah, the new digivices, minus 4; the new tags and crests, minus 3; and this white crystal and amulet." Bukamon says. Lewis continues, "Okay, the 4 missing digivices are accounted for: Me, Mimi, Tai, & Sora. I have my Tag & Crest, Mimi has this amulet, and there's another amulet here. It's shaped like the Crest of Courage. On the right is the Crest of Courage, and on the left is the Crest of Light, and if I'm right, the crystal goes in the center." He puts it in, and the amulet teleports away. "Odd." They look in the bottom of the chest and find a booklet, 'New Features of the New Digivices.' "'When you wish to locate other buildings, digivices, tags, crests, digimon, or digidestined, insert the Silver Tag into top slot. A 3-D holographic map of the surrounding 4 miles with cardinal rose and all terrain included. Key: Red dots are buildings, Colored rings are digivices, Black Digidestined's crest or crests are crests & tags, Colored Digidestined's crests represent a Digidestined, and Black X's symbolize virus digimon, Red X's symbolize data digimon, Green X's represent vacceine digimon, and White rings around the X's represent corrupted or enslaved digimon. Colored lines show that a digidestined was in the vicinity in the last 3 hours. The digivices also act as flashlights, communications devices, lockpicks, energy scanners (To tell how much strenght your digimon have left), and they also make great Julienne fries.' So, all I gots to do is put my Tag here... and we have a map. They went northeast." Lewis said. Mimi reverts back to Dryadsapia and says, "How will it work with this amulet?" She puts the amulet near the digivice and the bottom part opens up, injecting a link-up module to the digivice. "Whoa, mine has a 10 mile range!!" Bukamon looks through the crate and finds a CD and a Directory list. "Hmm. 'Digimon Analyzer Version 2.0, Windows 2001, Digirune Decrypter, DigiWorld SatCom Teleporter.....' Izzy would have a field day. Hey, a digiegg. And it has the Crest of Tranquility on it." Bukamon says in shock. Lewis takes it and it asborbs into his skin. "Okay, that was strange." "Hey, I found out the deal with this crystal and amulet." Mimi shouts out to Lewis. "According to the digivice, this Amulet is designed to hold this crystal and the two crests. The crystal, called the 'Shard of Martyrdom' represents the ultimate form of Sincerity, when one has within them the willingness and courage to do anything it takes, including sacrifice their life, for their friends and cause. The other Shards are the Shard of Honor, the Shard of Liberty, the Shard of Trust, and the Shard of Truth. I can't find out who gets what, but I do know what two Crests 'merge' to form these Shards. The Shard of Honor, we know is the combination of the Crest of Courage and the Crest of Light. The Shard of Liberty is the merging of Love and Knowledge, the Shard of Trust is derived from the Crests of Friendship and Reliability, and the Shard of Truth from Knowledge and Light. This new digivice rules!!"

After gathering up the stuff, Mimi picked up Lewis and Bukamon and tried to fly to the others. Experience pays off and after a couple of botched tries she is able to fly to Lucimon's Fortress. Total flight time: 90 minutes. Lewis is at the egg instructions in the booklet. "'To activate digiegg, the owner must say 'DigiArmor Energize!!'.' Okay, Mimi, I'll distract them and you find them. Best bet is that his best guards will be inside, and maybe even an Overlord, and you right now are the only one with the power to go in and face them." She starts for the back. "Time to see what happens...."

"DigiArmor Energize!!"

"Lewis, Ninth Digidestined Armor Digivolve to Daiymosapien!!"

Bukamon looks at him. "I thought only digimon could digivolve?!" Lewis stands up, in full chain mail, wearing beautifully detailed, Samurai-style shinplates, shoulder plates, forearm plates, helmet (No Face Mask), and breastplate. He also wore black leather gloves, corset, medieval English boots, plated sheaths for BOTH of his 14' long katanas, and a full-lenght trenchcoat which he wears over the armor. On his forehead is a tattoo of the Crest of Tranquility. "You'll be surprised what a person could do if they focus, Bukamon. Let's do it!!" He leaps at the Devimon guards.

"Bukamon digivolve to Gomamon!!"

"Gomamon Warp Digivolve to NorseZudomon!!"

"NorseZudomon Warp Digivolve to NeptuneZudomon!!"

"Daimyo Strike!!" yells Lewis

It cuts one of the Devimon guarding the door in half.

"Twin Blade!!" chants Lewis

The other one is diced to pieces, and so is the gate. NeptuneZudomon sees two Xenozombimon, Mega level Undead digimon about to snipe Lewis.

"Poseidon's Trident!!"

"Tsunami Cutter!!"

The sections of wall where they stood shattered, causing them to fall to the ground. Meanwhile, Mimi was moving in the rear. Alarms blaze as she moves through the complex. A Megadramon, Gigadramon, Terradramon, and a Petadramon ambush her at the prison gate.

"Darkside Attack"

"Dryadsapia Warp Digivolve to TitaniaLilysapia!!"

"Spore Seed Wave!!"

The two attacks hit exactly between the warring parties. Megadramon was vaporized and Terradramon was knocked through the gate. Mimi went flying back 10 feet. She shoulder-charges Gigadramon and throws her Thorn Tomahawks and pins him up on the wall. She reaches the prison controls and releases everyone. Tai and the others run up and thank her.

An explosion rocks the walls, and Lewis and NeptuneZudomon come flying through the walls. Lewis returns to normal and NeptuneZudomon reverts to Bukamon. Lucimon enters the hall. "Is that the best you can do? Give me a real challenge." Seeing the other digimon too weak to fight, Mimi charged ahead.

"Spore Seed Wave!!"

"Hellfury Blight!!"

Mimi is knocked into the ground, and is on fire. She reverts to Lilysapia and is in great agony.

"Flower Cannon!!"

No effect. Lucimon comes at her stomps her over and over. She persists her barrage, although she knows it won't be enough. Lewis gets up. "Remember the Shard of Martyrdom!!" Lucimon smacks him and sends flying through multiple Chromadigizoid walls and deep into the ground. "Girl, you should of been smart and stayed dead." Mimi stares at him and answers. "Never!! My friends need me too much for me to quit." A brilliant light forms around. Her wounds and blood stains vanish, the sunlight blasts through the structure, and a Crest forms inside the Shard. "The Crest of Martyrdom....." she mutters in shock. The Shard flashes........

"THE SHARD OF MARTYRDOM!!"

Time to everyone else slows to a near standstill. Everything turns green except Mimi. The sun and moon blast their light into the amulet. Her digivice goes from green and white to green and orange. She grabs the amulet and before her appears a seed. Mimi grabs it and points towards the heavens. Yellow-Green light pulsates from the earth, the sun, the moon, and the surrounding vegetation. It all flies out towards Mimi and converges, forming a spire a light.

"Lilysapia Terravolve to................. "

The light burns off everything on her except her dress and her hair. Her hair nearly doubles in lenght, stopping at her waist. A tattoo of the Crest of Martyrdom can be clearly seen on Mimi's forehead. The dress grows longer and becomes dark green and cut on the left side from the bottom to her upper thigh. A sort of sandal/high-heel hybrid flies onto her feet. A poplar forearm guard formed on her right arm. Gigadigizoid claws protruded out of the end of it. A pine-GDZ combination chain mail corset materialized around her neck. A sleek glove, similar to the ones Lilymon wore, but with a golden vine wrapped around it, slid on to her left arm. On her right arm a chain mail sleeve formed, covering her whole arm. On her right shoulder, a GDZ triple shoulder plate (One shoulder plate on top of another on top of another) materialized from vines coming up from the earth. The leftover vines formed a baldrick (Over the shoulder belt, similar to that which holds Weregarurumon's leather shoulder plate in place) for the triple plate and the sleeve connecting to another vine around her waist. The light dissipates and above is the Crest of Martyrdom. Life grows supersonically around her as she bends over and plucks a Lily from the ground and puts it in her hair. Mimi draws her halberd and stands with it in her left hand and planted in the ground.

"Gaiasapia, Avenger of Martyrs!!"

Lucimon couldn't believe his eyes. Before him stood a Terra level being, a being that could destroy him in the blink of an eye. "It's impossible!! The last time a digimon Terravolved was....... 220,000 years ago!! The secret has been long since destroyed. Still, I'm going to have to destroy you." Lucimon utters in terror. "You shall pay the price for your acts!!" Mimi replies.

"Rain of Blossoms!!"

Millions of Cherry and Apple blossoms rained from trees, the sky, and the earth, all exploding with a force 100x greater than any nuke.

"Seed Grenades!!"

Great, bright explosions, a magnitude that only a supernova would be greater, contained in an area of 15,625 cubic feet was unleashed on Lucimon, followed by vines binding the demonic behemoth. "I'm outta here!!" he screams. And leaves he does, at over Moch 500 (360,500 miles per hour)!! Everyone's cheering when Gatomon goes over to Lewis. "I think he's dead." Gatomon calls out. Everyone gathers at his mangled corpse. "Oh my....." Sora quotes, sobbing. All the soldiers, who were locked away in an area deep within the complex came up and began holding off the remaining minions of Lucimon. Rage fills Tai. Tai yells out, "You will pay for this Lucimon!! YOU HEAR ME!! YOU WILL PAY!!" Mimi goes over to Lewis and picks him up. She walks over and towards the gate, the others following. Suddenly, Lewis's body starts glowing, brighter & brighter. Mimi see this and screams, then drops him. He rolls over two or three times and ends up on his face. Everyone runs to Mimi, asking "Why did you drop him?!" Before she can answer, a faint mumbling could near Lewis. Izzy puts his ear next to it and listens. "It sounds like, 'Turn me over, I can't breathe. Turn me over, I CAN'T BREATHE!!'" He turns Lewis over quickly, and he starts gasping. "Next time you drop me, be sure I land face up." Everyone stares in shock. "Well, isn't anyone going to help me up?!" Izzy pulls him up, but as soon as he does, he goes splat on the ground. A splinter of wood impales his left arm. "Funny. I knew that should of hurt, and yet, it didn't. Hey, I'm a quadropilegic. Woohoo, Workman's Comp!! That, and I sue Lucimon into the ground. Except for the paralysis, this is turning out to be a good day." Izzy looks at him like he's an idiot and says, "Sure, you keep believing that. While you dial with your tongue and call Johnny Cocharan with your cellphone, we'll be trying to figure out what just happened." Mimi recounts all that happened after Tai & Sora were sucked back to the Digital World, up to now. Lewis butts in. "Hey, tell them about the neat stuff we got. It's in my shorts pocket." Gabumon, being the nearest one, puts his hand in Lewis's righ pocket. He pulls out the Silver Crests & Tags and the Enhanced Digivices. "Whoa, we don't know if they will interface with my computer, so before you hand them out, Gabumon, let me see Lewis's, and see if it will interface. He puts it the digivice slot, but nothing happens. "Try inserting the Tag into the hole on the top, or in other words, the wide part." He follows Lewis's instructions and the the silver end separated, turned the digivice so the screen would point down. The silver point split open and the digivice scanner locks clamped onto the opening. Two wires from the white section emerge and bore two holes beside the clamps. Two pin-hole junctions form from these holes and the wires slide back into the digivice. Seconds later they re-emerge with corresponding pin-locks and jack into the holes. 'LOADING......' the computer screen says. 'Incompatible Version. Must upgrade to Version 2.0 to read files.' Izzy says to Lewis, "You know anything about a 'Digimon Analyzer version 2.0?" Bukamon hearing this, goes through Lewis's left pocket and finds the CD. "Here you go, Izzy." Bukamon says to izzy as he hands him the CD.

Minutes later the installation was complete. "Okay, let's see what we got here."

"Maybe that's it. Maybe you used one of your attacks and didn't realize it." Izzy said. "Try doing it again." Mimi walks over to Lewis and touches him. Nothing happens. Then, in the recesses of her mind, Mimi hears Lilymon say, "What happened was I tried to initialize your 'Gaia's Touch' attack myself, but it seems that I don't have the power to fully activate your attack. You can. Just focus." Mimi grabs him again.

"Gaia's Touch!!"

Lewis became engulfed in plants and light. Serious bruises heals in a blink of an eye, nerve endings reconnected, his spinal cord fused back together, and the light disappeared. In Mimi's mind, she hears Lilymon say, "You are doing well. You can master your new-found powers on your own. I have a greater mission at hand that I must oversee. Until later, Mimi." The her voice vanishes from her mind. Lewis got up off the ground. He tested his motor functions out. He raised his arm up, turned his wrist, and twiddled his fingers, and jokingly commented, "Will I ever play the piano again, Doctor Saius?" Mimi, Lewis, Jake, and Oswald bust out laughing. Everyone else just sits there scrathing their heads. After the laughing subsides, Oswald looks at them and says, "C'mon. Don't tell you've never seen 'Planet of the Apes?'" They shake their heads no. Lewis looks over and says, "Nevermind." Izzy walks over to Mimi and grabs her amulet. "Odd, I didn't notice this before. Hey, Jake, got any ideas?" Jake walks over and looks at it. "Well I had some physics in my freshman year of college, and barely passed, so I couldn't give you a good answer, but it looks as though a quantum singularity, a nexus if you will, is focuses in the area of the crystal. Now why, beats me." "Yeah, the reason I found it odd was that just after being thrown in Lucimon's prison, this amulet appeared around Tai's neck." Lewis eyes it and responds, "So that's where the Shard of Honor went." Tai holds the amulet. "The Shard of Honor..... Wow." Joe says out to everyone, "Well, now all this is cleared up, let's take our stuff and move on." Gabumon hands out the new digivices and tags & crests. The old digivices illuminate, melt, and are absorbed into the new ones. "Let's head out." Tai says.

Meanwhile at Overlord Central, Lucimon bolts in with the news. "Uh, remember the girl and the digimon that we killed, then tried to use their life force to home in on the other digidestined." NeoApocalymon looks at him. "SO....." "Well, they have returned as one single entity and mopped the floor with me. That can only happen....." "If she Terravolved, I know. So the stakes have increased." NeoApocalymon answers. He hovers for a moment, pondering. Then he starts talking. "Nosferatumon, you gather them, and I mean the Digidestined, up as discreetly as you can. Milleniummon, I want you to go to the future and procure a means of keeping them in check, in case Mr. Skullhead over there fumbles the ball at the last second. And if all else fails, there is a contingency plan, but I don't really want to use it. Fixing all those paradoxes and causality loops gets on my nerves. Skulldracomon, assist Nosferatumon, but don't execute them immediately. Let's see what Milleniummon brings back. If it's good, then we might just toy with them, then kill them. Besides, when's the last we all sat and watched something good. Then we can do the regular loot, plunder, armageddon stuff afterwards." The Overlords do as planned, leaving NeoApocalymon to himself. "So it begins....."

A day later, the kids, the troops, and everyone associated with this rag-tag group return to Genai's house to find him staring at it in shock. "My house.... leveled. Now where am I going to live." "Maybe a rest home, old man." Oswald replies before being smacked over the head by Lewis. "Shut up, man. That's Genai. You know, the weird guy Mimi and I told you about. The guy who was always indirect and couldn't give you a straight answer. The guy who made this nifty stuff." Genai looks over at Lewis. "Let me guess. You're the ninth digidestined, right?" "Yup." "And you're the tenth?" pointing at Oswald. Oswald looks at him cocked-eyed and quoted defiantly, "Uh.... No. I'm just his roommate." "Now that's cleared up, WHO LEVELED MY HOUSE AND TOOK THAT DIGIEGG!!" Genai screams. "That's me on both counts. I told NeptuneZudomon to get that chest to the surface since your house was underwater, and I pocketed and then used that digiegg seeing as it had the Crest of Tranquility on it, and stuff." Genai slaps his head and shakes it. "Well, I guess it's my fault not telling any of you how to part the lake. If you had of kicked the brown rock towards the lake, and there's only one brown rock around the lake, it would have opened. To open it from the house's side, you would have just used the console in my study. But for the egg, you had no to mess with it. It was a prototype for a new form of digivolving. Digivolving, like any energy transferance, can be blocked, rerouted, or annulled. You weren't supposed to know about this until 4 years from now, when the project was completed, and then only TK and Kari were going to be told." "And why is that?" Tai asks. "I have my reasons. That's all I'll say." Lewis explains something to Genai. "Why put the Crest of Tranquility on it if you never intended to give it to me?" Genai looks puzzled. "I never put the Crest of Tranquility on anything....." A silent breeze blows past. A minute later Genai asks, "Does it work?" "Like a charm. Hey, I know....." Lewis picks up a red porcelain egg with a knife through it. "Here's an insane idea. Why don't you apply the research from the prototype to this. I mean, it's egg-shaped, and with a few modifications, it could be your new prototype." Genai takes it and says, "Well, it's badly fractured, but I'll if your idea has any credibility. Meanwhile, my house...." Lewis responds "Me and Oswald will tackle the house after this whole Overlord thing blows over." Oswald grabs Lewis, smirks, and giggles, then mumbles, "Hey, I'm not the who demolished the old coot's home." "Oh, shut up and help. I'll pay you." "How much.?" "$3000" "Woohoo, I'm there." When all seemed right with the world, Nosferatumon and Skulldracomon attack. Lewis chucks Genai into the rubble. "Stay there." Matt yells out, "Everybody ready?" Everyone nods.

"DigiArmor Energize!!"

"THE SHARD OF MARTYRDOM!!"

"Lewis, Ninth Digidestined Armor Digivolve to Daiymosapien!!"

"Dryadsapia Terravolve to Gaiasapia, Avenger of Martyrs!!"

Glaciergarurumon claws the wall of water and it freezes, allowing him to climb to the surface. NeptuneZudomon loads his shell with water and hurls the water at Nosferatumon.

"Eye of Odin!!"

The shock stuns him.

"Sub-Zero Stinger!!"

The combo takes Nosferatumon temporarily out of commision. Up against Skulldracomon is Siegegreymon, Phoenixaviamon, Myotismon, & Mimi.

"Delta Force!!"

"Solar Wind!!"

"Grizzly Wings!!"

"Rain of Blossoms!!"

Skulldracomon's hard scales stop the Solar Wind and the Grizzly Wings in their tracks. The Delta Force knocks him back and the Rain of Blossoms sends him reeling.

"Antipode!!" Skulldracomon yells

One of his heads shoots ice and another fire. Siegegreymon takes the brunt of it. First, he feels his heart nearly stop from intense, then he feels his blood boil. He falls in shock, nearly going into cardiac arrest from the temperature change, and reverts to Koromon. Myotismon goes flying into the water. Mimi dodged it, and Phoenixaviamon was not phased at all.

"Nuclear Bombardment!!" screams Skulldracomon

"Seed Grenades!!"

The resulting explosion from the two colliding is catastrophic. Everyone goes everywhere. NeptuneZudomon reverts to Gomamon, Glaciergarurumon reverts to Gabumon, Odinkabuterimon reverts back to Motimon, and Phoenixaviamon reverts to Yokomon. Lewis leaps high into the sky and swings his sword at his earth head. Lewis lands behind Skulldracomon. When Lewis lands, the earth slides off his body and falls to the ground, where it then disintegrates. "But how, how can a human slice once and do this?" Lewis returns an answer. "One time, impossible. 5000 times though, possible." Oswald says, "Whoa, this place is like 'The Matrix.' Knowing that something can be done will allow it to happen." He goes over to Nosferatumon to test his theory. He somehow manages to lift the 11 foot tall bag of bones over his head, jump up 20 feet into the air, and then piledrive him. "Cool." Then Nosferatumon smacks into the lake. "Not cool."

"Plague Fist" chants Nosferatumon

The attack knocks Mimi through a tree, reverting her to Dryadsapia.

"Wall of the Undead!!" shouts Nosferatumon

Everyone except Kari, Magnaangewomon, Lewis, Myotismon, and Archangemon are caught up in a barrier of skulls, bones, and flesh, held toghether by a death field. Lewis throws a leafy branch at the field, and watches it necrotize (Die and begin decaying) and turn to dust before it hits the ground. "Whoa, that's not good." Kari charges up at Nosferatumon. "Let them go now!!" she yells. "Oh, how amusing. I think the others would understand if one of them had an 'accident.'" Skulldracomon laughs. He grabs her up.

"Death and Decay!!"

Magnaangewomon flies at Nosferatumon and tries to stop him from sucking away her life.

"Sacred Arrows!!"

He smacks them back at her. Archangemon flies at him at Moch 2.

"Radiant Slash!!"

Nosferatumon drops Kari and falls to his knees. Light pours from his eye and and eye socket. Radiance rips out his mouth. Celestial energy shoots from the gash Archangemon gave him. Just when victory was immenent, Ladyshadowfiendmon arrives and pours her Smog of Despair on him. He regenerates. "You two bumbling idiots. Stop toying with them."

"Arc Lightning" she booms

The lightning, nearing Kari by the millisecond, is seen by Magnaangewomon. "Not today, demon." Kari's Crest let out a beacon of light into the sky.

"Magnaangewomon Warp Digivolve to Saintangewomon!!"

There in the path of the lightning flies a heavily robed figure with, under the robes, Reinforced Titanium Armor over her torso and on her wrists. 6 wings could be seen from her back, but the center two dwarfed the others in size and brilliance. Kari can see the sparkle in her eyes as she said, "Leave this to me." She flies up at supersonic speeds, through the attack. She flies up. Ladyshadowfiendmon swats at her and misses.

"Celestial Vortex!!" Saintangewomon commands

Ladyshadowfiendmon's fist goes through a portal that ends behind her. She punches herself in the back. Motimon comments, "A legendary fact is that Saintangemon could defeat her foes without ever touching them, that usually her enemies would defeat themselves." She starts flying around her legs, waist, torso, and then her head, leaving a pink dust.

"Binding Essence!!" exclaimed Saintangewomon

The dust became a force field, slowly constricting inwards. Myotismon and Archangemon began assaulting her. Ladyshadowfiendmon gathers her strenght and breaks out of the field. She gathers energy.

"Dark Elementals!!" she summons

Fire, Ice, Water, Wind, Lightning, Earth, and Darkness fused together and worked in harmony as it sapped the strenght of the angels. Archangemon, blocking for the less protected Saintangewomon, went sailing into Lewis, and reverted all the way to Poyomon. Saintangewomon was pummelled into the ground. Skulldracomon stood on her and started feeding. She reverted to Salamon. Lewis tries to get up and protect Kari, but can't because when Archangemon hit him, it sprained his ankle. Then he remembered what Oswald said. "Whoa, this place is like 'The Matrix.'" Remembering the hit movie, he tried a concept from the movie. "Free your mind. Free it of all doubts." He meditates like this. He returns to normal and his Crest starts glowing. Meanwhile, Myotismon is guarding Salamon and Kari, thinking in his head, "The last time I met them, I was on the verge of destroying them. Now I'm protecting them. Why? Is it because of the time in prison? Is it because of Kari's warm-hearted forgiveness? Or is it because, deep down, I feel I owe it to them for the misery I dealt to them?" He attempts to hold Skulldracomon back with his Grizzly Wing attack, but completely fails. Lewis stands up, his ankle healing at a modest pace. He can begin to feel the turmoil in Myotismon's head, and he calls out, "Be one with your thoughts, then strike!!" Myotismon keys all his on stopping them and throws out Crimson Lightning. Instead of it being red, it's bronze. A light shines from the sky, the Crest of Light, and the Crest of Tranquility upon Myotismon. Genai gets up from the rubble. Tai asks, watching, "What's happening, Genai?" "Remember how your cowardice corrupted Greymon. Well, you're witnessing the exact opposite: redemption." The Crimson Lightning decommisions Ladyshadowfiendmon. When the light clears, a 6' tall figure wearing a white formal shirt, similar to those worn under business suit or tuxedo jackets, a royal blue velvet vest, also formal, black pants, again business suit-type formal, wearing polished medieval English boots (Ya know, the near knee-high cuffed leather boots), cufflings, formal leather gloves, a collapsable shield on his left arm, and a sheathed broad sword, with a polished leather baldrick holding it on his back, connected to anoter polished leather belt around his waist. Izzy immidiately starts scanning him with the Digimon Analyzer 2.0. "Check this out. His name is Viscountmyotismon, a Mega digimon. He's still a vampire, but he only drinks from his enemies. His classification also did a 180. Viscountmyotismon is a Vacceine digimon, and a master of swordplay. His Noble Edge can cut through solid Chromadigizoid and his Viscount Bolt will leave in the same world of pain Myotismon's Crimson Lightning did, but much worse." Sora finishes off, "And he's a lot more attractive than the other possibility." She recalls a memory of Venommyotismon leveling Tokyo and shutters.

"Viscount Bolt!!"

All 3 Overlords are temporarily immobilzed. Suddenly, the beam of light that brought Tai, Sora, and the others to Genai's lake reappears. Genai yells to everyone not behind the Wall of Bones, "Quickly, in the portal!! Find the Tenth Digidestined. We'll figure out a way to stop them here. You all go!!" Lewis grabs Salamon and Kari, and him, Kari, Viscountmyotismon, and Salamon went through the light. "Dang, got away. Oh, well. Rookpiedmon should take care of them. Say, what did he say he was doing last?" Skulldracomon says. Nosferatumon replies, as he gathers the prisoners up, "I think he was using that Major Spencer to influence world governments to wage war on us, promising him a share of his land. He's also raising money for his war machine by doing some stint in 'Las Vegas,' but I don't what this is. According to him, those stupid humans are eating it up. Pretty soon, he says, we'll cause some mayhem, wanton destruction, and have one big weenie roast afterwards. Ya know, I really, really envy him."

At the facility, everyone is detained separately, except Tai and Poyomon, who are thrown in a pit with multitudes of psychotic, deranged digimon who were probably prisoners left over from Myotismon's and The Dark Masters' prisons. Tai, holding Poyomon, tries to find a familiar face. After a hour of searching through weirdoes and lunies, he finds Andromon in pieces on the ground next to a cacti digimon with a long beard and bloodshot eyes. Andromon's head looks up at Tai. "How'd you get here, Andromon?" For the next ten minutes he recounts how he was attacked after leaving Primary Village and disabled, and how they (The Overlords) like to use the prisoners in deathmatches and as target practice. ".....and that's what goes on. Oh, this here is my friend, Peyotemon. He's always is having weird visions and a mellow attitude, but he fixes me, so I can live with his sometimes boggling ideas. But there is one thing he never is confused about and that's history." Andromon finishes. "Okay, whatever." Tai quotes as his amulet slides out from under his shirt. Peyotemon grabs the amulet and says, "Hey dude man!! You're like..... lucky and stuff. This is just a mere piece of what was known as 'The Paladins' Tablet.' See, like.... these dudes made this cool tablet,..... and wrote this stuff. Right. And then they...... put it in a chamber of glass high atop this big freakin' mountain. If anyone could reach the top, then face their dark side and win, you'd be given these.... really neat powers and stuff, and then you'd face your worst foe. Now if you can,.... like, you know, put the smack down on them, and then show them mercy when you know have them licked, then you became a Paladin, and...... like Paladins rule, because, check it out. Evil can't screw with your head if you're either a Paladin, Angel, or an Archangel, something about an 'Angel's Creed,' and compared against attacking other digimon, Paladin digimon do 10x more damage to true evil than other digimon. So cherish that thing, man...." Andromon follows up, "Know why your parents tell you not to take drugs. Well, he is the poster child for the those reasons." "Well, it's not my fault I'm, like, a hallucinigenic plant, man." Andromon and Peyotemon continue to argue when a guard comes down and grabs Tai. He takes him up to a training room, where soldiers arm him with armor and melee weapons. "Fight well, and you may just live." A guard says. Tai is thrown out into an arena. Evil digimon are booing him and throwing various paraphenalia. An announcer says, "And in this corner...." A light shines on the other gate. "..... a puny Koromon. But wait, we say. Thanks to the new friend we made from the future, he...... " A dark ring grabs him. Then a needle injects nanites into him. His eyes turn blood-red. He starts digivolving. "....he becomes a furious, blood-thirsty Skullgreymon!!" The lights come back on. "Now, fight by old navy rules. First guy to die... loses." A bell rings. Skullgreymon starts bombarding the area where Tai is standing. He starts running, hoping to hide behind anything he can find. The audience starts booing. Tai finds some bones to cower behind. He starts having flashbacks of the first Skullgreymon encounter and how bad it went, when he remembered what Peyotemon said about 'Facing your dark side.' Then he remembered something else. Skullgreymon's heart isn't completely protected. If he could graze it somehow...... Tai then spots a javelin embedded in a skull. Tai picks it up and yells, "Over here, you overgrown bag of bones!!" Skullgreymon bent over and roared at him. This gave Tai the chance he needed. "Catch!!" He throws the javelin down his mouth, through the throat area, and cutting open the left side of his heart. Skullgreymon passes out from the pain and reverts to Greymon. Feeling a surge of energy, Tai bounded off Greymon's head and up into the crowd. He climbed upwards towards the giant box seats. NeoApocalymon, still in shock from the events that just transpired, is even more dumbfounded when Tai busts through the floor. Tai swipes with the battle axe he was given to defend himself. The startled NeoApocalymon has trouble reacting and slips. Tai pounces and puts the axe to NeoApocalymon's throat. "Tell me why I shouldn't finish you now." NeoApocalymon smirks. Tai raises it over his head, then realizes why he laughing. "No, even though it could mean my life, slaying you, on the ground, helpless, wouldn't be right. I would be no better than you." NeoApocalymon breaks out laughing. "Foolish child. Now time for you to go splat." He throws Tai out of the box seats and watches him fall helplessly to the ground. Greymon gets up, turns, and is about to cook him with a Nova Blast, when Tai's shard starts glowing. The Crest of Honor appears inside the shard. The ring, and all the nanites in Greymon's head disintegrate.

"THE SHARD OF HONOR!!"

Time slows, just as it had before for Mimi. Everything around him is orange. He holds the amulet to the sun, and a sword flies down from the sky and lands in the center of the arena. The Crest of Honor forms a ring around it. White light pierces the earth. Greymon walks over and pulls the sword from the earth and points it triumphantly into the sky.

"Greymon Terravolve to......"

A cylinder of light forms from the Crest on the ground and glows into the heavens. Visions of all the forms Greymon had been before, from Botemon to Siegegreymon, circled the pillar, faster and faster. Greymon leaps into the air. Everything goes bright white, followed by him landing kneeling on his left knee, with nothing but the same groin plate he had on as Wargreymon, with the flaps and all, and a Chromadigizoid mail shirt and coif (name for an armored hood and corset in one) over him. His skin turns a light grey. Gigadigizoid plates formed as light passed through him, forming a silver cuirass (Breastplate molded to be similar or exactly like a human torso), broken and into individual muscle plates and a massive reinforced Gold-Colored Gigadigizoid (2x stronger than standard GDZ) rib casing. Over parts of the cuirass, Reinforced Gold-Colored GDZ formed. It even made nipple armor!! The Mid-Terravolved Greymon stands up. On his nearly bare head, swirling light strikes and makes a Gold-Colored GDZ Helmet. The horns on his one, instead of being near the back of his helmet, start merged as one between his eyes, split apart and curve toward his eyes, where they wrap over his eyes, making eyebrows of sorts. They continue to grow behind his head and then arc downward, each coming to a point. A silver metal plate hooks from each eyehole and past them and stop shortly afterwards. A white pinstripe, of sorts, begins on the front hookbill-like part of the helmet and moves along each side of the helmet, bending and turning, till it finally end just behind the silver hooks. Five rods of golden GDZ pierce from the top and back of each eyehole, the one on the top being longest, growing shorter till the last one, which points towards the earth and behind him at a 30 degree angle. An orange neckband formed just below his jaw, marking the end of the neck and holding the bottom part of the coif in place. To connect it to the helmet, two silver disks materialized and clamped in. From the neckband formed three golden plates, protecting the trechea and front throat, which led back down to the cuirass. Double shoulder plates, mostly silver, but having a thicker, gold-colored Reinforced GDZ edges, appeared on each shoulder, connected to the pectoris (Upper chest muscle) plates by white leather rope. Silver GDZ Bicep plates materialized and strapped on over the chain mail sleeves the same way as the shoulder plates did. Two goldern reinforced GDZ forearm guards appeared. On the right arm was one just like the ones Wargreymon had, claws and all, strapped in with leather, but then the whole forearm became embraced by it. On the left arm it wrapped the whole forearm but didn't cover the back of hand like the right one did. The top of it grows thicker and two miniture rocket launchers appear. Two missiles load up and the warheads become visible. On the silver belt flaps, two bands of color could be seen, orange and pink, and not just orange as it was with Wargreymon. Gold shin guards emerged from the light. On the kneecap parts of them was a brilliant jewel, with two silver rods, one coming out the left, the other the right, arcing upwards. White leather rope tied the shin guards in place. A pinstripe, like the one from the helmet, went down through all the points where the rope secured the plates and converged on each one just above the feet. Remember the red part of Wargreymon's shin plate? Well, on these they're white with a dense silver beam going from the left side to the right, and 4 more lesser silver bars came up from the corners of the white area and curve and all converge at the center of the main beam. A second set of silver shin plates form under the gold ones. Dual split-shields, like those described that Siegegreymon had, materialize and raise up. The outermost split-shield points upwards at a 45 degree angle. The innermost became level with the ground and his shoulders. On the right outermost fragment, two small white capes with a pink trim on the bottom edge, one on the outward side, and the other on the inward side, draped down to just above his feet, sandwiching the right innermost fragment. The same happened at the same time on the left outermost fragment. A huge white cape with orange trim on its bottom edge grew from both of the innermost fragments, drooping between the two fragments, seeing as how nothing held it up there, and fell to the ground. The Crest of Honor became grafted into the back side of the main cape. A sheath with the sword he had pulled up from the ground formed from a spire of light that ran down his back. Three giant arched spiked drove through the back of his neck, through the chain mail and stopped. A bone spike formed near the end of his mandible (Bottom Jaw), and long silvery-white hair draped down from the back of the helmet, reaching as far down as the middle of the sheath. He pulls the sword from the sheath with his left hand and hold it to the sky. His eyes open, but instead of normal eyes, white light and small amounts of lightning were there in his eye sockets, glowing forth, and illuminating part of his helmet. Most of the light vanishes except for the light from his eye sockets, and sunlight beaming through the clouds. The Crest of Honor shines in the cloudy sky.

"Paladingreymon, Guardian of Honor!!"

"Whoa, cool." is all Tai can answer with. Paladingreymon flies up and catches him. "I could of done something I would of regretted," said Paladingreymon. His voice, noble, strong, and sort of British, best described as something similar to voices of Sean Connery, Patrick Stewart (Capt. Jean Luc Picard, Star Trek-The Next Generation), and/or Zeratul from Starcraft. "But you held true to your values of courage, and the light in your heart allowed me to Terravolve." He lands on the ground, then describes himself.

"I am Paladingreymon, a Terra level Paladin digimon, as these 5 rods on my helmet show. In addition to my mighty blade, my right forearm guard can become a gigantic shield shaped like the Crest of Honor. I have an extrordinary number of attacks, 9 in all. Of the Plasma element, I possess Nova Storm, which causes a shower of plasma to fall from the sky when I hold my sword high. The other is my Plasma Torpedoes that I fire semi-automatically from my left wrist. Of Pure Energy, I possess 2 attacks: Double Edge, where I cut my foe with my claw then finish them with my sword cutting them opposite of the claws, and Exoforce, with I can like Terraforce, or can send it bolting through any superstructure, destroying the structure as it pursues its taget. Of the Life element I know of the Sphere of Life, which is a deadly weapon against the undead, and Paladin's Cure, the ultimate healing ability. t can heal the wounds of those I touch, and can remove poison, paralysis, unconsciousness, and mind control, such as Black Gears and Dark Rings, but the effects of a Paladin's touch are eternal. Digimon freed from evil's control by my touch can never again be the pawns of evil. They have a lifelong immunity to Black Gears and such. The same goes for many poisons. And my mightiest element is Light. Paladin Blade is an attack where 5 blades of light home in on evil and dice them. When I equip this jeweled gauntlet from my left forarm guard, I can use a devastating beam and/or punch called Celestial Fury. Finally, my ultimate attack is the Light of Judgement." Three Darktyranomon charge from the stands behind Paladingreymon. He turns and slices all three of them in half with his sword. Instead of disintegrating like digimon do when they die, light glowed fromed their bodies, from the cut area, and out every nook and cranny of their bodies, and then a ball of light moved across their light-ridden bodies and they were gone. "What just happened?" Tai asks in shock. "When I slay a foe with my sword, instead of just being 'reborn,' they are also redeemed when they return to Primary Village." NeoApocalymon summons all Digimon in the buliding to attack. Multitudes of Dark Ring and True Evil Digimon swarm towards Paladingreymon, ripping at him.

"Nova Storm!!"

Many a champion and ultimate became crispy critters. Andromon, having escaped, frees everyone he can find. A mass riot breaks out in the ring. Paladingrey swipes and clears a circle-shaped area out around him, then pounces into the air, sword overhead. "Tai, whatever you do, don't look directly at the sword." Paladingrey turns the point of the sword earthward and slams the sword into the earth.

"Light of Judgement!!"

A light hits the crystal on the end of Paladingreymon's sword. A massive shockwave of divine light leveled the earth and the Colleseum. Evil digimon all over the place caught on fire, then their flesh was incinerated, followed by a huge explosion, then the skeletal remains became dust and distegrated. In the end, over 150 digimon met their end, but in the aftermath, the good digimon stood unscathed in a 500 foot deep crater. NeoApocalymon, still stunned from the blast, calls down to Tai, "So you are a formidable foe. You may have two Terra digimon, but you can't stop everything!!" To cover his retreat, he sends one of his polygons forth.

"Nuclear Armageddon!!"

ICBM's galore fire everywhere as everyone except Sora appear from one of the old prison halls to the crater. Paladingreymon turns to them. "Duck and cover!!" He flies at the missiles. "What better way of getting rid of nuclear fission that with nuclear fusion!!"

"Plasma Torpedoes!!"

The resulting explosions are microscopic compared to what they could of been. "Ewwwwww........ pretty." Paladingreymon says sarcastically. Everyone gathers topside. Andromon says, "I couldn't find Sora, Kari, or Gatomon." Izzy answers, "We know where Kari and Salamon are. They're safe with Lewis and Viscountmyotismon, but where's Sora?"

In a dark lab, an experiment is taking place. A voice says, "Curse these blasted Overlords. Take me from my time and expect me to build control spires and dark rings for them. Although I do admit that the technology they gave allows me to drastically improve my dark rings by allowing me to engineer a failsafe, I still am angry. Foreceps, Wormmon." "Here you go." "These aren't foreceps, these are rib spreaders, you dolt!!" "Well, master, I never went to medical school." "Well, neither have I, yet, but I at least know what I'm doing!!" The man in the shadows yells, about to throw the rib spreader at his digimon assistant, when he restrains himself. "I need you conscious. I could rebel if I had my legions of slaves, but they're 5 years in the future, so they're of no use to me. Ahhh..... It's done. She'll serve as a mighty pawn to my plans." From the table arises Sora, wearing a black leather body suit, light plate mail over her torso, and a cape held up by two shoulder plates and a chain. Sora opens her eyes. The whites are blood-red now. The figure in the shadows hands her a black digivice. "You will serve the Overlords in appearance only. Your real master will be me, The Digimon Emperor. Do you understand his?" Sora says with a smirk. "Yes, master." Can the Digimon Emperor hope to overthrow the Overlords and claim the land for himself to rule in the future? Can Lewis and the others find the Tenth Digidestined. Will the digidestined be able to save Sora's mind. Find out in "Frst Terra Chapter 3: Paradox!!"

I'd like to apologize again for the extreme length of this chapter. If you're confused about the Paladingreymon description, just be patient. I hope to have all the characters from First Terra in the Fan Art section by the end of the year. Another note: If you got names and ideas for evil digimon, or any digimon, or if can find a better name for Ladyshadowfiendmon (I know. The name's corny, but I can't seem to think of any good names for a female shadow demon.), or just comments, just give a shout to paladindmt@yahoo.com
