(Eight)

(Iori's POV)

Taichi and the others had just gotten through the entranceway when the door slammed shut.

"This isn't good, Armadillomon." I said.

"We can always use the DigiEgg of Knowledge." He said. "It might take a while, but I think I could drill our way out of here." Armadillomon said.

"Yes, I know... But that's what's worrying me."
"What, it taking a while? Why?" My partner asked.
"Look..." I said, pointing up towards a tiny hole that was pouring out water. Another hole opened up, then another. The water was just a trickle when it first started to come out, but it soon gushed out like a mini Niagra Falls... Almost.

"What do we do? You can't Digivolve in this. It's too small for your Digivolutions, and the water may rust your armor if you Armor Digivolve to Digmon..."

"...Claw Count! ...Ow! Diamond Shell! This isn't working, Iori. The stone is harder than diamonds!"

"We've got to think of something..!" The water reached my knees.

"There's nothing left to do..."
The water kept coming faster, and I was holding Armadillomon now, trying to keep him from the water. It was soon at my neck.

"Well, it was nice knowing you, Armadillomon!"
"Yeah.."

I was straining to stay above the water and still hold Armadillomon (who couldn't swim), when the water stopped flowing into the box.

"Hello, Chosen One. And how are you doing?" An impish creature asked.

"Not good." I answered flatly.

"Will you let us out of here?" My Digimon partner asked.

"I dunno... Your friend was a little rude."
"I'm very sorry. Now, can you please let us out?"

"Mm... You've got to do something for me."
"What would that be?"
"I'll let you know. Now, do you want to get out?"

"Do you think we can trust him?" I asked.

"I don't think we have a choice, Iori."

"Okay. Get us out." I sighed.

The small Digimon smiled. The water disappeared, and I landed on the ground rather hard.

"Just remember: I can take you back here at any time, water included. There are two parts to my request. The first, you do not attack any of the Digimon here."
"And the second?" I said as I felt a sharp pinprick in my neck.

"I'll let you know." He grinned before disappearing.

"...We have to drill our way out, Armadillomon." I said.

My partner nodded.

"DigiArmor, energize!"

~*~*~*~

(Taichi's POV)

Iori walked forward, hands clenched into tight fists. Armadillomon shuddered, just like Parurumon had. I half-knew what to expect. But it still took me by surprise when Armadillomon Digivolved.

"Armadillomon, Dark Warp Digivolve to... BlackVikmon!"
"Guys, stop this!" I called out.

"Sorry, Taichi. But I have to do this. And Besides, there is no point in even trying to fight against them."
"What? What are you talking about, Iori?!"
"They're too powerful for anyone to overcome. Joining them is the only option."
"Iori, that... That makes you our enemy. Are you sure about this?" I asked warily.

He nodded, a strange glimmer in his eye and an out of character smirk on his face.

"Fine, then." I growled angrily, heading back to the others. "Guys," I started. "Iori and Miyako are totally against us. We have to treat them as enemies."
"What? But... But how can that be? ...Miyako?"
"I know... I know it sounds impossible, but it's true. And I'm guessing that their DarkDigivolutions are a lot stronger than they would have been by OmegaBasianmon's powers."

"So we have to deal with three Mega level Digimon? Great..." Mimi sighed.

"At least we're not alone." I answered, looking past her to the army of Digimon. "Let's do this!" I yelled, signalling the attack.

"Nova Force!"
"Ice Wolf Bite!"
"Demon Spell!" BlackVikmon attacked. WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon were encased in a large, black bubble.

"WarGreymon!"
"MetalGarurumon!"

"Wing Blade!"
"Flower Cannon!"
"Horn Buster!"
"Sword of Darkness!" BlackValkirymon used a large sword the color of obsidian to deflect Garudamon's, Lillymon's, and MegaKabuterimon's attacks right back at them.

"Vulcan's Hammer!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
"Gate of Destiny!"

OmegaBasianmon laughed, absorbing the attacks into his thick hide. "You fools! Do you really think that you can defeat me? Flames of the Night!"
"Giant Missile!"
"Lightning Joust!"
"Spirit Strike!"
"Pitiful. Just pitiful. Demon Spell!" SaintGargomon, Gallantmon, and Sakuyamon were also encased in a black bubble.

I looked at WarGreymon and finally realized just what that bubble did. WarGreymon's energy was slowly being drained from him, just like MetalGarurumon, SaintGargomon, Gallantmon, and Sakuyamon.

"Twin Fang!"
"Double Impact!"
"Rainbow Feather!"
BlackValkirymon laughed and jumped out of the way of the attacks.

"Sword of Darkness!" BlackValkirymon heaved the massive sword down.

"Legendary Claw!"

"Blue Lightning!"
Gryphonmon broke BlackVikmon's Demon Spell, and Azulongmon gave him a nasty shock.

"Cable Crusher!"
"Darkness Zone!"
"Heavenly Light!"

OmegaBasianmon took a step back.

"Dark Earth!" He attacked. The ground shook violently, and huge black-green vines shot up from the ground. The vine wrapped themselves around all of the Digimon.

"Look at you! You cannot do anything! Now, I will destroy you all, and you will see the true power of OmegaBasianmon!"
"No!"

"Yes!" Our enemy began to glow with a sinister black light, and time itself seemed to slow down. "Shadows of Evil!" He attacked.

I slumped to the ground. Everything was so dark. So cold. It was like being shoved into a cold, dark cave, with no light. No warmth. The last thing I thought was 'Did Yamato go through this,' before I blacked out.

~*~*~*~

(Yamato's POV)

"Shadows of Evil!" OmegaBasianmon attacked.

It was very cold, and I was instantly tired. I looked at the others, all had fallen. Why was I still standing..?

"Ah... So you are Yamato... I was hoping I would see you..." OmegaBasianmon's voice was like ice. "Tell me, Yamato... What does this remind you of..? The cold... The dark..."
"No..." I muttered. 'I promised myself I wouldn't...'

"Tell me, Yamato... Ah, I can see it in you... Your fear..." He hissed.

"I'm not afraid of anything." I growled.

"I don't think you're being quite honest, Yamato. You remember the prison, don't you? Yes... I can see you remember... I can see it in the way your eyes contract their pupils... Hn. You see, that is why you are the only one to stand... Your body had built up a resistance to these forces... But you don't have to worry. You're still very weak, and soon, soon those internal defenses will colapse... And you will die with your friends."
"No! ...no..."

"Yes, Chosen Child! You can not stop me... Because now is your end. Shadows of Ev-"
"Trinity Arm!"
"Lightning Spear!"
"What's this?!" OmegaBasianmon yelled.

"Yasoshaymon, use the counterattack!" One of the new Digimon called out.

"Of.. Of course... Reverse Magic Effect!" Yasoshaymon gasped.

It was instantly warm again, and I felt my energy returning. Only this time, it was stronger than before.

"Excellent timing Justimon and Kerpymon!" Yasoshaymon called to them.

From the corner of my eye I saw Iori, Miyako, Hawkmon, and Armadillomon slumped on the ground. Koushiro ran and helped Miyako up.

"Hey, are you guys all right?" I yelled, running over. Miyako was crying, and Iori looked like he would start gushing out tears any second.

"I attacked my friends..." Iori murmured continuously.

"Miyako, what happened?" Koushiro asked gently.

"Mekananamon's master infected us with Dark Spores that work on contact..." She whispered.

"Come on, we've got to get you back with the others." I said.

Iori shook his head. "They'd never forgive us."

"Let's go." I said, trying to get him up off the rocky ground. "Listen, they can't forgive you if you don't get up off your butt and get over there."
Iori nodded silently. We ran towards the others and told them what had happened.

"It's okay, guys. You had no control over what was happening. It's not your fault." Sora said gently.

"DigiDestined! We must hurry while OmegaBasianmon is weak! Attack!"
"Lightning Spear!"
"Trinity Arm!"
"Angel Touch!"
"Darkness Zone!"
"Cable Crusher!"
"Blue Lightning!"
"Legendary Claw!"
"Rainbow Feather!"
"Double Impact!"
"Twin Fang!"
"Spirit Strike!"
"Lightning Joust!"
"Giant Missile!"
"Spiking Strike!"
"Armadillomon, Digivolve to... Ankylomon! Tail Hammer!"
"Hawkmon, Digivolve to... Aquilamon! Grand Horn!"
"Gate of Destiny!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
"Vulcan's Hammer!"
"Horn Buster!"
"Flower Cannon!"
"Wing Blade!"
"Ice Wolf Bite!"
"Terra Force!"

OmegaBasianmon gave a horrible yell.

"You disappoint me, OmegaBasianmon... I have given you a powerful Digivolution, and yet you still have failed... Nightmare Claw!"
"No, ple-" was all that he got out before becoming many bits of data.

"I know that voice! It's Myotismon!"
"Wrong! I am neither Myotismon nor VenomMyotismon. I am MaloMyotismon!" He laughed. "If you thought OmegaBasianmon was a tough opponent, you're going to have a really hard time with me! Nightmare Claw!" He didn't aim the attack at us, though.

Instead, he aimed it towards the ground. An earthquake started, and the ground separated. Rock formations shot from the earth. There was no safe place to stand, it was as though the entire Digital Earth had decided to wage war against us.

I ran, trying to reach the rest of the group. Another rock shot up and tripped me, just as another crack opened up. I managed to grab the cliff side just before I fell.

"Help!" I felt my hand slipping, I knew I couldn't hang on much longer. And then, I lost my grip totally.

"Gotcha!" Taichi grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

"Thanks." I said, and saw the battle waging in front of us. WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon, Seraphymon, Garudamon, MegaKabuterimon, Lillymon, Stingmon, Yasoshaymon, Gryphonmon, Aquilamon, Angewomon, Supremon, and Azulongmon were attacking from the air. Zudomon, SaintGargomon, Gallantmon, Sakuyamon, SaberLeomon, Diaboromon, Apocalymon, and Beelzemon attacked from the ever-changing ground.

"Terra Force!"
"Ice Wolf Bite"
"Gate of Destiny!"
"Wing Blade!"
"Horn Buster!"
"Flower Cannon!"
"Spiking Strike!"

"Angel Touch!"
"Legendary Blade!"
"Grand Horn!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
"Rainbow Feather!"
"Blue Lightning!"

MaloMyotismon laughed as he absorbed the attacks. "You fools! You are wasting all of your energy. Just give in!" He yelled before releasing all of the attacks back at us.

"Never! Vulcan's Hammer!"
"Giant Missile!"
"Lightning Joust!"
"Spirit Strike!"
"Twin Fang!"
"Cable Crusher!"
"Darkness Zone!"
"Double Impact!"

We fought as hard as we could, but nothing seemed to work. No matter what we did, MaloMyotismon just kept absorbing the attacks.

"Demonic Claw!" He attacked. The force of it sent us all flying back.

~*~*~*~

(Sora's POV)

"Demonic Claw!" All of the energy from MaloMyotismon's attack sent us flying. I got up, slowly, and saw Taichi, wincing in pain.

"Taichi? Taichi, what's wrong?" I asked, trying to sit him up. My hand felt something sticky on the back of his head.

"Taichi... Oh, God, no. Taichi, you're..."

"I'm fine. It's just a scratch." He said, trying to stand up. He moaned and lay back down.

"Taichi... It's more than a scratch. A lot more." I whispered, not believing my own words.

"I'll be fine. Don't worry ab- Ah!"

"What happened?" Yamato asked, running over. He looked down and saw the quickly growing puddle of blood. "Oh, God.. No!"

"Hey, Yamato." Taichi grinned weakly.

"Don't talk, you can't waste your energy. Where's Jyou? Jyou!" I called frantically.

Taichi gave a soft moan, and turned to Yamato. "I'm sorry, Yamato. You were right."
"Right? Right about what?"
"I never did look for you. I should have, but I was too stubborn. I should've listened to you. I always knew you were right. I just didn't want to admit it."
"Listen, Taichi,"

"No, Yamato. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"
Yamato looked into Taichi's eyes and nodded. "Yes. I forgive you."

Taichi smiled. "Thanks, Yamato." He turned towards me. "Sora?"
"I'm right here, Taichi."

"Sora, I want you to keep this." He said, fumbling with his Tag and Crest. He put it into my hand.

"Taichi, no... You ...you'll need this..." I said quietly.

He shook his head, wincing slightly. "No. I have a feeling you're going to need my courage."
"Taichi! No, Taichi..."
"Make sure Hikari stays safe, and kick some major butt for me, okay?" He said.

I nodded numbly. "Taichi..."

He gave me a small smile. "Don't worry about me, Sora. Just have Courage." He said, his eyes closing slowly.

"Taichi! Taichi, no! I need you Taichi. I love you..." I held onto Taichi tightly, and heard him whisper softly, 'I love you too.' And then I felt him draw his last breath.

"Taichi..." I started crying.

"My... Best friend..." Yamato muttered.

I held Taichi close to me, crying. It didn't happen. It couldn't have happened. It shouldn't have happened. But it did. Taichi had died.

Yamato touched my shoulder. "Sora... You can't cry forever. Taichi wouldn't have wanted you to. Remember what he said, Sora. You need to have Courage. It's awful, what happened, but you've got to understand..."
I nodded. "You're right, Yamato." I looked at where Taichi had been. He was gone. Then, I realized it. In the Digital World, a person's body was data. And when something in the Digital World dies... It is deleted. I closed my eyes. "I will have Courage." I turned back to the battle. "And MaloMyotismon is going to be sorry for doing this..."
"For doing this to the best friend anyone could have."
A bright light surrounded Garudamon, WarGreymon, and MetalGarurumon.

"Courage," I started.

"WarGreymon..."
"Friendship," Yamato said.

"MetalGarurumon..."
"DNA Digivolve to..."
"And Love..."
"Garudamon, Mega Digivolve to..."
"Omnimon!"
"Phoenixmon!"
"Together can defeat the darkness!"
Yasoshaymon looked towards us. "Our calvary has come..." He whispered in awe. "Omnimon! You have the power to send the rest of the Digimon to the Mega level!"
Omnimon nodded.

"Lillymon, Mega Digivolve to..."
"MegaKabuterimon, Mega Digivolve to..."
"Zudomon, Mega Digivolve to..."
"Angewomon, Mega Digivolve to..."
"MagnaAngemon, Mega Digivolve to..."
"Aquilamon, Warp Digivolve to..."
"Ankylomon, Warp Digivolve to..."

"Stingmon, Warp Digivolve to..."

"Rosemon!"
"HerculesKabuterimon!"
"MarineAngemon!"
"Magnadramon!"
"Seraphymon!"
"Valkirymon!"
"Vikmon!"
"GrandKuwagamon!"
"What the ...?" MaloMyotismon wondered.

Hm... How's that for an Evil Cliffhanger of Doom?

Well, anyways, in the next chapter...

With die gone, will the DigiDestined still be able to defeat MaloMyotismon?

Will the DigiDestined ever be able to free Daisuke?
And just where the heck is Veemon?!
