Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Mystic Digital War ❯ Chapter 8: Invasion ( Chapter 8 )

Last time: Infermon and the others entered Datamon's base in an attempt to stop him. They were able to stop his missile from destroying File Island, but then Devimon arrived. Davis returned Tai's Digivice, and his own activated. A blue Digimon, Veemon, emerged from it, Davis's own Digimon partner. Together, they attempted to help Kari, Ken, and Izzy against Devimon, but the evil Digimon was too strong. Only after Micheal and Megaseadramon arrived, Devimon was defeated.

The Firemaster flew to aid Infermon and Metalgreymon's battle against Datamon. During the conflict, the Firemaster switched places with Infermon, placing Tai back in his true body. Agumon was then able to warp digivolve into Wargreymon, and defeated Datamon.

Chapter 8: Invasion:

Sora threw open the door and ran into the room. "What have you got for me, Yolei?"

The purple-haired computer technician turned around in her chair. "I'm afraid its nothing good."

"What do you mean?"

Yolei turned her chair back around and pointed at the computer screen. There was a map of Tokyo, with glowing dots blinking on and off. "What are those?" the Digidestined leader asked.

"Digital Gates," Yolei said,"Hundreds of them. They're opening all over the city."

"Just great," Sora said,"So, you're telling me that we're going to have hundreds of Digimon pouring into this city?"

"Actually," Yolei said,"There are already thousands appearing..."

"Crap!" Sora cried out,"Alright, contact everyone and tell them to be prepared for the worse."

"Right," Yolei said,"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to call Kari," she said, taking out her D-terminal.

Yolei was about to nod her head, when she gasped. "Sora, look!"

"What now?" Sora asked.

"There!" Yolei pointed to the window. Sora ran over and looked outside. She gasped as well. On the roof of the building across the street stood four familiar figures.

"No!" Sora said,"Oikawa! He..he's behind all of this!"

The evil Digidestined seemed to see Sora. He grinned wickedly at her, then he and his Dark Masters turned and exited the building.

"I'll get in touch with Kari in a minute," Sora said,"First, I've got to call Matt."

"What for?" Yolei asked.

"I'm going to make him the commander of the Digidestined Military.."

"What?" Yolei asked,"You can't do that!"

"Why not?"

"He's popular, Sora," Yolei said,"More popular than you."

"What's wrong with that?" Sora asked.

"Don't you know any history?" Yolei asked,"King Henry II of England was having problems with the Church, so he placed his best friend Thomas of Becket as the Archbishop of Cantaberry, thinking that he would follow Henry's lead, but he didn't."

"What happened?" Sora asked, typing on her D-terminal.

"Henry had Becket killed," Yolei said,"Placing a more popular figure like Matt in a position with that much power is nothing but trouble!"

"I'm not going to have Matt killed, no matter what he does!" Sora said,"He's my boyfriend, remember?"

"It's not Matt that I'm worried about."

Micheal let out a sigh as he stared at the metal dome that was one Santa Carea. "This was a beautiful city once," he said.

"It was," Ken said,"I wish you could have seen it."

Davis just nodded, then he looked at his Digimon. "So, uh, great job Veemon."

"Thanks Davis," he said,"But I don't feel like celebrating."

Ken looked around. "Where are Tai and Kari?"

"Right here," Tai said, walking outside of Datamon's base.

Kari smiled slightly, when her D-terminal began to beep. "I've got mail," she said, opening it,"It's from Sora!"

"What does it say?" Izzy asked.

Kari's eyes opened wide. "Oh no!" she gasped,"Tokyo is being invaded, by Digimon!"

"What?" Tai asked.

"I..It's Oikawa," Kari said,"He's invading Earth! He..He's in Odiba....oh no, Taisuke!"

"Who's Taisuke?" Tai asked.

"My little brother," Kari said, still looking at her D-terminal.

"Y..your little brother?" Tai asked.

"Yeah," Kari said, "oh, well, I guess he's your little brother too." She smiled slightly,"I can't wait for you to meet him, he's just like you."

"I...I have a little brother..?" he asked, a smile crossing his face.

"And he's all alone!" Kari said, her face starting to show signs of worry,"Mom's out of the city on a business trip! I was suppose to be watching him, what if...what it he's..."

"What about dad?" Tai asked.

Kari's face turned depressed,"H..he died, about five years ago, right before Taisuke was born."

"W-what?" Tai asked,"H-how long have I been gone?"

Kari swallowed,"About seven years."

"How could my body have aged, then?" he asked,"It was suppose to be buried in the tomb! What happened to me?"

"We'll rescue your brother, Kari," Daivs said, placing a hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry."

She smiled slightly,"Thanks, 'Master of Courage'."

Davis nodded slightly.

"Come on," Ken said, running up the hill surrounding Datamon's dome,"There's a Digital Gate right up here! We should be able to exit right in down town Tokyo!"

"Will you help us?" Davis asked his Digimon partner.

"Of course!" Veemon said,"I'm your partner, where ever you go, I'll be right there next to you!"

"Come on, you two," Micheal said, standing on top of the hill,"We're going to leave you behind."

Davis and Veemon quickly ran up the hill past Tai to where the television set was resting. Kari and Gatomon jumped through first, then Micheal and Betamon. Izzy and Tentomon were next, then came Ken and Stingmon. "Alright Master of Courage," Tai said,"You're next."

"Right," Davis said,"Wow, home...it's been so long since I've been on Earth. I...I don't know what to feel."

"Come on," Tai said,"The Digidestined need our help."

"R-right," Davis said, whipping a tear from his eye. He held his Digivice towards the gate, it started to glow, and Davis and Veemon disappeared.

Tai turned towards Agumon. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah," Agumon said, with a surge of excitment,"I haven't been to Earth in such a long time."

"Me either," Tai said, sighing,"Home. I wonder how my par-er, my mother is."

"I'm sorry," Agumon said.

Tai nodded,"Come on, we've got a job to do." He raised his Digivice,"Digi-port.."

Suddenly, the television set started to crackle with electrical currents. "What's happening..?" Agumon asked. They both watched in horror as the screen to the Digital Gate blew apart, leaving a steaming husk.

"It blew out!" Tai said,"Great, come on Agumon, we've got to find another one!"

"Right,"Agumon said.

Davis felt himself slam into a hard surface. "Owe," he said, rubbing his head,"That really hurt."

"Sorry about the re-entry thing," Izzy said,"It takes some time to get use to."

Davis nodded."Where are we?"

"In a school in Odiba," Kari said,"Where's Tai?"

"Kari," Izzy said, looking at the computer that they exited from,"I'm not seeing a program for a Digital Gate on this computer, which can't be. We just came through a Digital Gate."

"I'll e-mail Tai on the D-terminal that I gave him," Kari said, taking hers out. She typed an e-mail message, then waited. As second later, she got a response.

"What does he say?" Micheal asked.

"The Digital Gate blew out after Davis went through," Kari said,"He and Agumon are running towards the nearest Digital Gate, and they should be here soon. In the meantime, let's go rescue my little brother."

The others followed her down the hall and outside the school. Once they opened the doors, they entered a nightmare.

Ruby Floramon emerged from the Digital Gate and looked around. She gasped at the city in front of her. She had, of course, been to major cities in the Digital World, but none of them looked anything like this. In the Digital World, mountains reached for the sky, not buildings, plus, there was never so many of them.

"This planet is so cluttered," she said to herself as she walked down the street, "I've never seen any place like this anywhere before! I can't believe that I get to report on this! This is unbelievable! When my supervisors told me to follow Oikawa through the gate, I was scared, but, a good reporter doesn't let anything stand in her way. Plus, this is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

She started to walk past a building with a large doorway. She narrowly missing being ran over by a group of young adults and Digimon. They ran right past her, then down the street. "That..that was Kari Kamiya!" she said. She was about to run after them, but she noticed that the door was open, leading to a long hall. She walked inside and noticed a television set attached to the ceiling. Playing on the screen, was an image of a young woman holding a microphone, reporting on some sort of activity that had occurred weeks ago.

"It must be a recording," Ruby Floramon thought,"But, she is quite an accomplished reporter. If I could have a Digidestined partner, I would want.....wait..what if she is the one that I am waiting for? Could she be my partner?"

The entire city was screaming in terror. The citizens of Tokyo had, of course, experienced this very thing before. Digimon invading their world was nothing new to them. Instead of submitting to their captors, they fled, and some even fought back, but the only ones capable of truly harming them were the Digidestined, however, those in Tokyo were few and far apart.

Mrs. Kamiya had heard the news reports from her meeting in Okinawa and quickly rushed back to the city. It wasn't that she didn't trust Kari, but, her greatest fear was that either Taisuke or her daughter would be killed, just like Tai. She needed to be back home for this. Now, however, she was stuck waiting for a ride on the subway.

She was so nervous, she was shaking as she sat in the subway station. "Are you okay?"

Mrs. Kamiya turned her head and saw an elderly couple sitting down across from her. "I'm not really okay," she sighed.

"What is the matter?" the man asked.

"What's going on in Tokyo."

"I know," the woman said,"It's horrible."

"My five-year-old son is there alone," Mrs. Kamiya said,"but I have to leave him alone, I can't afford a babysitter! I'm barely making end's meat now."

The woman reached over and hugged Mrs. Kamiya,"Are you a signal parent?"

"Yes," she said, nodding,"My husband died shortly before my son was born."

"Do you have any other children that can help?"

"My daughter is probably out there fighting the invaders," Mrs. Kamiya said,"She's a Digidestined."

"Really?" the man asked.

"Yes," Mrs. Kamiya said, looking to the ground,"so was my first son. He died seven years ago saving the world."

"I'm sorry," the woman said, hugging her again.

"Well, we too are worried about people we love in the city," the man said,"I'm Arake Motomiya, and this is my wife, Aisha."

Mrs. Kamiya nodded at the two. "Who is in the city that you're worried about?"

"Our granddaughter is missing, and we think she went into the city last night," Aisha said, looking at the ground,"Our grandson is...gone, also. He died during a tornado that destroyed our old home."

Mrs. Kamiya was about to give them her condolences, when her cell phone started to ring. "Excuse me," she said, removing her phone from her purse. She got up and walked over to a corner of the waiting area. "Hello?"

"Mom," the voice on the other end said,"It's me, Kari."

"Kari!" Mrs. Kamiya shouted, relief flooding over her,"Oh, thank heavens you're okay! Where are you?"

"I'm in Tokyo," Kari said, over a tone of static,"I'm heading to our apartment to grab Taisuke..."

"Then you're going to go to grandma's, right?" Mrs. Kamiya said, hopefully.

"I can't," Kari said,"I need to be here.."

"I want you to get out of Tokyo," Mrs. Kamiya said.

"Mom," Kari said,"I need to stay here. Sora knows that Oikawa is behind it, and he's here! This can be our chance to stop him! I need to help the Digidestined! Only Matt and I have Mega Digimon!"

"Kari," Mrs. Kamiya pleaded,"I don't want anything to happen to you, like what happen to Tai..."

"Yeah, um, about that...well.......I'll have to talk to you about that later, but, I have to stay in the city. I'll take care of Taisuke. Bye Mom, I love you."

"Kari..Kari!" Mrs. Kamiya shouted into her phone, but there was only silence.

The crowd tore through each other, pulling and throwing people to the ground, where they were stepped on and crushed. The people were terrified, running and screaming as a giant black dinosaur charged through the street. People were trampled, crushed, and trapped as it continued it's march into the crowd.

June took a sharp left turn and dove into an abandoned alley. She took a couple of deep breaths as she rested her head against the outside of the building. "I...I don't...I don't think I ever ran so fast in my life!"

She heard the people screaming as the black tyrannosaurus ran further down the street. She dropped down to her knees and covered her head with her hands. She closed her eyes and started to shake. "Please," she whispered, trying to block out the screams of the crowd,"Please go away. Please, if you stop screaming, then I know this is just a nightmare, please...."

June could hear the sound of the massive dinosaur's footsteps as he pounded closer to June's alley. "Please....please," she said,"Don't find me....don't find me!"

Her eyes were shut tight as she felt the presence of the dinosaur as he stopped at the front of the narrow passage. "No," she said,"no!" Suddenly, she felt something wrap around her, and pull her to the right seconds before the dinosaur slammed his foot into the ground.

June shot her eyes open. There was a strange green creature with a large purple flower on its head standing in front of her. "June Motomiya?" it asked.

"L-Leave me alone!" June shouted, pushing it away,"D...don't you even touch me!"

"June," it said," I am Alraumon, and I am your Digimon partner."

"W-what?" she asked.

Alruamon nodded. "I have been waiting for a long time to meet you."

The black dinosaur roared behind them. "We'll talk later," Alruamon said,"After I take care of Dark Tyrannamon."

"G-good luck," June said. "Wow," she thought,"My own Digimon partner. I knew that this thing that came out of the computer was a Digivice, I just knew it! That means that I'm a Digidestined! This is sooooo cool!"

Alraumon stood in front of June, with arms pointing at Dark Tyrannamon,"Uh," June said, "Are you sure that you'll be able to take him?"

"No sweat," Alruamon said. She raised her hands over her head, then threw them forward, "Gloom Dust!" A purple cloud shot from her hands and soared up to Dark Tyrannamon's nose. He breathed Alraumon's poison cloud in, then coughed it back out. He bowed his head down in front of Alraumon and opened his mouth, show casing his rows of sharp teeth.

"Um...I think we might need a change of plan," Alruamon said, slowly backing away from the rows of teeth, dripping with saliva. She took a deep breath, the slammed her fist in his nose.

Dark Tyrannamon suddenly shot his head up, screaming. He pointing his mouth back at Alruamon and June. He opened his mouth and fired a stream of fire down at the two partners. Dark Tyrannamon's angle of descent was slightly off, as the fire blast moved over Alruamon's head, and exploded right in front of June. She screamed out in pain as her hands wrapped around her face. She fell to her knees, screaming in intense pain.

"June!" Alruamon shouted, spinning around.

Suddenly, the Digivice on June's belt activated, filling the dark alley with bright light. "Alruamon digivolve to Ninjamon!"

Dark Tyrannamon was blinded slightly by the Digivice's light. He jumped into the air and slammed both of his fists into Dark Tyrannamon's nose. As he moaned in pain, Ninjamon appeared behind the evil Digimon, and threw a multitude of stars into Dark Tyrannamon's back. June's Digimon then vanished, only to reappear in front of the massive Digimon. She raised her sword and slash down, creating a blade of energy that vaporized Dark Tyrannamon.

Ninjamon landed softly on the ground. She slid her sword back into its place on her back, then ran towards her human partner. "June," she said, kneeling in front of her,"What hurts?"

"My face," June sobbed,"My whole face is on fire! Help me please!"

Ninjamon didn't know what to do. She wasn't a doctor, she didn't know the first thing about treating a burn wound. She was about to run for help, when help came to her.

A young woman with a head of thick orange hair came running towards them down the alley. She was followed by group of other young adults, all with creatures that she recognized as Digimon. "Hey!" Ninjamon cried,"over here!"

The orange haired girl ran over to her."What's going on here?" she asked, then she noticed June at the back of the alley,"What's wrong with her?"

"A Dark Tyrannamon attacked us," Ninjamon said,"She was burned bad. Please, help her."

The woman turned to a blue haired young man. "See what you can do for her Joe."

Joe nodded, and walked past Ninjamon to where June was lying on the ground. "Hi," Joe said, lightly grabbing June's hands,"Let me see, I'm a doctor.." When Joe removed her hands, he tried not to gasp.

"Are you the Digidestined?" June asked, her vision blurry as her eyes were full of tears.

"That's right," the orange haired woman said,"My name is Sora Takenouchi, this is T.K. Takashi, Yolei Inoe, Cody Hida and Mimi Tachikawa. The one examining you is Joe Kido."

June smiled. "I know I'm safe now. Thank you."

"Well," Sora asked after Joe had risen to his feet,"What's the verdict?"

"She's suffered extensive burns to most of her face," Joe whispered,"It's a miracle that her eyes weren't damaged at all. We've got to get her to a hospital."

"Do it," Sora said. Joe nodded.

He turned around and helped June to his feet,"I'm going to take you to a hospital. What's your name?"

"I'm June Motomiya...." she said, as Ninjamon followed behind them.

"What are we going to do now?" T.K. asked.

Sora didn't say anything as her D-terminal began to beep. She opened the cover. "It's from Rosa. She knows where Oikawa is!"

Kari tapped her pencil against her notebook. She propped her head up against her arm, which was resting on the desk. She stared out the large windows, losing herself in the bright blue sky. As a large white cloud in the shape of a porcupine, she found herself seeing it as an image of Tai's hair. "I wonder if this is how Tai felt, waiting for me?" she thought, as she dropped her head back to her homework.

She tried to concentrate on the pages of algebra, but her mind wouldn't let her. She knew that her mother would be home soon, and Kari was feeling very weird. She wasn't sure how she was suppose to feel, this was a new experience for her.

She tried to go back to finishing her school work, but then the door to her room flew open. "Kari," her grandmother said, peeking her head inside her granddaughter's room, "Your mother is home!"

Kari dropped her pencil and ran out the door, where she joined her grandmother at the door of the apartment. Her mother was standing in the hall, holding a wrapped bundle in her arms. "Is...that...?" Kari asked.

Mrs. Kamiya nodded. "Kari, this is your new baby brother, Taisuke."

"Y..You named him after Tai?" Kari asked.

"That's right," her mother said.

"Tai would have liked that," Kari said, a slight smile on her face,"He always did have a big ego."

Mrs. Kamiya smiled. "Would you like to say hello?"

Kari nodded, and held out her hands. Mrs. Kamiya shifted the baby onto Kari's arms,"Just be careful."

"I will," Kari said, her eyes sparkling. She stared down at her younger brother's face,"Hi there," she said, softly,"I'm Kari, I'm your older sister."

The baby laughed slightly and Kari lifed her head,"Wow," she said to her mother,"I never would have thought that I would say that." She laughed slightly,"It does feel....different, to be the older one."

Her mother smiled as Kari looked back down at the little baby in her arms,"I promise you," she said,"I will always be here for you, always..."

"Are you okay, Kari?" Micheal asked.

"Yeah," Kari said, whipping her eyes dry,"Why do you ask?"

"You were crying just a minute ago," Davis said,"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Kari said,"I...I was just thinking about the time when Taisuke came home."

"It must be nice to have a family," Micheal mumbled to himself, as he turned his head away.

Kari turned around her to look at the other person riding on Nefertimon,"What did you say?"

Micheal sighed for a moment, then said,"I don't know where my family is."

"Wait a second," Ken said, riding on Stingmon to the left of Nefertimon,"I thought you once told me you were going to go camping on Earth with your parents."

"I lied," Micheal said, looking down,"I didn't know you, and I didn't want you to think that I wasn't normal.."

"So where did you go then?" Davis asked, riding on Exveemon.

"Betamon and I went camping by ourselves," Micheal said, sadly.

Kari was just about to tell him that he had a family now, when Nefertimon spoke up,"Kari, we're approaching the apartment."

"Good," Kari said, turning back to face the world in front of her. They had been flying over the chaos below, so they could make it to the Kamiya's apartment, so, instead of entering through the front door, they landed on the roof.

"It's really bad down there," Davis said, looking over the edge. On the street below them, three Mammothmon were chasing a group of people.

"After we get my brother," Kari said, walking towards the door,"We'll find Oikawa."

They walked down the stairs and into a long hallway. "Come on," Kari said, running to the elevator on the other side,"My apartment's downstairs."

"Let's hurry," Ken said, walking into the elevator.

"At least it's quiet in this building," Veemon said, as the elevator slowly desendend. When it stop and the doors opened, they found themselves in the middle of a war zone.

"Oh no!" Kari shouted, looking at the hallway full of Numemon,"Taisuke..."

The green Digimon stooped fighting each other. They turned around and noticed the Digidestined standing there."I think we're in trouble," Wormmon said.

The Numemon started to charge towards the elevator. Davis was about to hit the button to shut the doors, when Gatomon jumped in front of them. She stared down the in-comming Numemon,"Come and get me!"

"Hey," Veemon ran after her,"I'm right behind you!"

"Kari," Micheal said,"We'll take care of these guys. Go and get your brother."

"Thanks," Kari said. She quickly ran through the path Gatomon and Veemon created for her, in the middle of the Numemon. She kicked open the door to her apartment and quickly dove in, slamming the door shut behind her.

The inside of the apartment was, thankfully, quiet and calm. "Taisuke?" Kari asked, walking over to her room. She grabbed hold of the door and knob and opened the door. "Taisuke?" she asked, walking in.

Suddenly, something rammed into her chest and threw her to the ground. She yelled out in surprise and shut her eyes.

"Oneesan?"

Kari opened her eyes and saw a young boy standing over her. "Taisuke?!"

Her younger brother nodded. "Oneesan," he smiled, excitedly,"Guess what? I'm a Digidestined like you!"

"W-what?" Kari asked.

Taisuke held out a familiar device in her his hands,"See!"

"N-no," she said,"Y..you're too young to...to fight..."

"Oneesan," Taisuke asked,"Are you okay?"

"Y..yeah," Kari said, getting to her feet. "Damn you, Digital World, why did you make my younger brother a Digidestined?! He's only five years old!"

"Onnesan," Taisuke said,"This is my Digimon."

Kari broke away from her own thoughts and looked down. She couldn't help but smile. "An Agumon?" she asked.

"Yes," the Agumon bowed,"And I'm sorry about the head butt in the stomach thing..."

"That's okay," Kari said, sighing, "Come on, let's find Oikawa and stop him once and for all."

A young woman peered around the corner of the building. She quickly pulled her head back and leaned against the outside wall. Her heart threatened to jump out of her chest as she tried to get control of her breathing. She remained very still and silent as a ghost as two Bakemon floated by. Once they had passed by, she let out a sigh of relief.

She ran a hand through her long blond hair as she looked around the corner again. All was clear, and she was about to walk out, when she heard a voice behind her, "Catherine DeGual?"

She spun around. "Who..who iz zere?"

A figure stepped into view from the shadows. Catherine gasped and started to move back. There was a small plant creature with a red pendant around her neck standing in front of her. "P...pleaze," she stuttered,"D..do not hurt me..."

"I won't," the creature said,"I am a Floramon named Ruby, and, like you, I am a reporter."

"W..what?" Catherine asked.

"I am a reporter from the Digital World," Ruby said,"I am here covering Oikawa's invasion. When I first arrived on Earth, I saw your news report on the television. You are a great reporter!"

"I...I am just a High Zchool reporter," she said,"Ze only onez zat should have zeen zat are ze High Zchool..."

"I don't understand," Ruby said," But, together, the two of us can report on this invasion. Catherine, I would be honored if you were to become my human partner."

"Y..you mean, like a Digidestined?" Catherine asked, reaching for a square device on the belt of her red dress,"You mean, zis device iz real?"

"Yes," Ruby said, nodding,"I was drawn to you. We are meant to be a team."

Catherine smiled slightly as her Digivice started to glow,"My own partner," she said,"Come, Ruby Floramon, let us get a camera crew, and find the main battle!"

Plagemon turned around,"Sir," she said,"They're here."

Oikawa grinned as he looked at the group zooming towards him. "The Digidestined! At long last, they shall be destroyed!" His three remaining Dark Lords nodded and watched with him as the Digidestined landed in front of their position in front of the Tokyo Towers.

The Digidestined all jumped off of the Digimon they were riding on and waited as Sora stepped in front. Her eyes were ice as she stared at Oikawa. "Ukyo Oikawa," she said,"I'll say this only once, either surrendor, or die."

Oikawa smiled slightly. "Do you honestly believe that you can stop me?" he asked, as Plagemon, Arukennimon, and Milleniumon moved in front of him.

"Why do you hide behind them?" Sora asked,"You can't fight your own battles?"

Oikawa laughed slightly. "If you survive your fight with my Dark Lords, then I will fight you in a Digimon duel, one-on-one."

"But you don't have a Digimon partner," T.K. said.

"Oh, but I do," he said,"Mummymon, please show yourself."

The Digidestined watched as a figure covered in bandages carrying a machine gun walked out from behind the towers and stood beside Oikawa. "This is my Digimon partner, Mummymon."

"B..but why didn't you let anyone know that you were a Digidestined?" Yolei asked.

"I did," Oikawa said,"Just not to you. Now, are we going to talk, or are we going to fight?"

"I guess that means you refuse to surrender?" Sora asked, even though she knew the answer.

"Of course," Oikawa said, crossing his arms,"Oh, by the way, where is your boyfriend?"

Sora was surprised at Oikawa's choice of question, but she answered him anyway. "Matt's looking through the Digital World for a Digidestined that attacked us the other day. Why?"

"Because," Oikawa sneered,"With a Mega Digimon, you might have stood a chance, but now you're doomed!"

"Whatever," the Digidestined leader said. She mentioned to her troops,"Guys, let's take them!"

"Plagemon," Oikawa said,"You go first."

"As you wish, my lord," she said, bowing. She started to walk towards the Digidestined. Sora turned around and looked at the Digidestined that she had assembled, T.K., Yolei, Cody, and Mimi, four of her best fighters, although Matt's Metalgarurumon would be extremely helpful. She turned back to Plagemon, then back at the Digidestined. "I won't order any of you to fight, but..."

"I'll do it," Mimi said, stepping forward,"Palmon and I are more than ready to fight the weakest of the Dark Lords."

"I'll make you eat those words," Plagemon said, stopping as Palmon and Mimi entered the small battlefield.

The two combatants stared at each other, their eyes ice as a cold wind blew across the small area. Suddenly, Plagemon shot forward, her nails growing out into a claw.

"Do it now!" Mimi shouted, moving her jacket so the glowing Digivice on her belt was visible.

"Palmon digivolve to Togemon! Togemon digivovle to Lillymon!"

Mimi's fairy Digimon shot forward through the air, her hand clenched together in a fist. Plagemon and Lillymon met together in the center of the battlefield. Lillymon slammed her fist into Plagemon's face. The Dark Lord staggered for a second, then slashed at Mimi's partner with her long claw shaped nails, aiming for her face. Lillymon, however, pulled up at the last second, and Plagemon only was able to rip away a small part of Lillymon's dress.

"This is a designer dress!" Lillymon shouted, pulling her hands together,"Flower Cannon!"

Plagemon couldn't move out of the way in time to dodge Lillymon's attack. The Flower Cannon rammed into the Dark Lord, bringing her to her knees. She slowly got back to her feet and looked up to where Lillymon was floating in the air."Nice try," Plagemon smiled,"But I'm tougher than that."

Mr. Ishida ran a hand over his crew haircut as he walked into the chaotic newsroom. He ran over to the rows of t.v. screens. "What is going on here?" he asked, looking up at the rows of static,"Why aren't we broadcasting any news reports?"

"I'm sorry, sir," one of the technicians said,"But we aren't able to get any reporters out there."

"This is just great!" Ishida said,"My son's girlfriend is out there fighting these creeps, the least we can do is find a way to report it!"

"Mr. Ishida," a younger worker ran up,"Someone just called in and told us that she's already at the battlefield, and can give us a live report!"

"Really?" Ishida asked.

"Yeah, but, she's a high schooler...."

"I don't care if she's in diapers," Ishida said,"As long as she can tell us what's happening! Give her the frequency of our station, and put her on."

"Yes sir!"

On top of a building over looking the battlefield below, Ruby Floramon waited patiently as her new human partner was busy talking on her cell phone. She turned her head to the battle below, when Catherine shouted out,"Floramon, zey have given me zeir broadcasting frequency. All we need to do iz put it into ze camera, and we are live!"

"Great!" Floramon smiled, grabbing the news camera,"I will be the camera person, since you are a human, and this is your world."

Catherine nodded slightly,"Yes, I do not zink that ze people would watch it if you were on."

While Catherine got ready, Floramon programed the correct frequency into the camera. "I am ready."

"Okay," Catherine said, throwing Floramon the cell phone,"Tell them we are ready to go."

Floramon relayed Catherine's message into the phone, then nodded. "Five...four...three...two...one...you're on!"

Catherine cleared her throat, then spoke into the microphone. "Zis is Catherine DeGual, reporter live on ze battle between ze Digidestined, and ze evil ones who are attempting to invade our world. Ze Digidestined arrived only moments ago, and are now about to fight ze invaders. If you will look below me..." She paused while Floramon zoomed over the building's ledge, and focused on the battle below,"...one Digidestined partnered with a Lillymon is fighting the Dark Lord known as Plagemon. So far, they are the only ones who have started to battle."

Catherine brought the microphone closer to her mouth, then said,"As you will remember, the Digidestined are the ones that saved this world from the evil Dark Masters...."

Plagemon jumped into the air and slammed her fist into Lillymon face, sending her back into the ground. She struggled to get back up, but her head crashed into the ground beneath her.

"Lillymon," Mimi cried,"You've got to get up! Please..."

Plagemon laughed as she hovered above the unconscious Lillymon. She was about to slash her long claws into Lillymon's neck, when Plagemon was suddenly blasted by a group of energy waves.

"What?" she asked, as her body began to blister from burn marks. Looking up, she saw that Angemon was just lowering his hand. "You dare attack me?!" she shouted.

"Lillymon is out," Sora said, her arms crossed,"That leave you without an opponent, and Angemon was just stepping in."

Plagemon growled her displeasure, then shot her fist forward. "Poison Sting!"

The Digidestined Digimon yelled out in pain as hot needles were shot into their skin. "What did you do to them?" Yolei shouted, watching Aquillamon's head drop to the ground.

"I simply made certain that they would not interfere in my battle again," Plagemon grinned. She rose back into the air, and shot towards the fallen Lillymon.

"I can't watch," Mimi said, covering her eyes with her hands.

Plagemon flew closer to Lillymon. When she was right over her, she connected both of her hands together, then brought them down, aiming right for Lillymon's face. Suddenly, the flower child opened her eyes. She brought her feet up and slammed them into Plagemon's stomach. The Dark Lord was thrown back into the ground.

"Yes!" Mimi shouted,"Lillymon is the best!"

Her Digimon soared into the air, and placed both of her hands together. "Flower Cannon!" she shouted, blasting a ball of energy at the fallen Dark Lord. Plagemon gave a final cry before she disappeared.

Lillymon was breathing very heavily as she landed on the ground. She was covered by a white light, then shrunk back to Palmon. Mimi ran over and hugged her Digimon partner. "You're the best, Palmon!"

"Sure," she answered, her eyelids drooping,"But right now, I'd really like to get some sleep....."

"You deserve it," Mimi smiled.

"As you can ze over me," Catherine said into the mircrophone,"One of ze Dark Lords has been defeated. Now, zere are only two left, zen Oikawa himself."

Back on the battlefield, Arukennimon turned to Oikawa, pleading in her eyes. The evil human nodded. Arukennimon turned back and smiled, wickedly. "It's my turn now!"

Sora turned to Birdramon. "Do you think you can fight her?"

"N..not b..by myself," her Digimon partner answered,"Plagemon's poison is hurting me more than I thought, but I will fight...""

Sora turned back to the next Dark Lord. "Only if all of us are able to fight you!"

"Fine," Arukennimon laughed,"Plagemon's poison is affecting you more than you realize, so I'm not out numbered; you should be running to the nearest hospital, but, if you want to fight me so badly, then I guess I have no choice."

Cody turned to his Digimon. "Are you up for it?"

Ankylomon rose up and raised his tail,"I..I'm ready..."

"What about you?" Yolei asked her Digimon.

"Yes," Aquillamon said,"I'm..I'm ready.."

"Let's go," Angemon said, closing his fist,"I'm ready!"

"Let us handle this," T.K. said to Sora,"You've got a duel with Oikawa."

"Fine," Sora said,"Just be careful.."

Arukennimon smiled,"Bring it on!"

Angemon lead the attack, his fists lurching back and flying forward. "Hand of Fate!"

Arukennimon used her eight legs and jumped into the air, missing Angemon's attack. She then landed behind Angemon. He tried to quickly twist around, but due to Plagemon's virus, he moved much slower.

By the time he had turned around, Arukennimon was already busy throwing her Spider's Thread at Aquillamon, and dodging rocks thrown by Ankylomon. T.K.'s Digimon slowly got back on his feet, despite the pain being shot through his body by Plagemon's sickness. He got a running start, then shot at Arukennimon's back, ready to attempt his Hand of Fate again.

She was aware of Angemon's assault from behind, and saw Ankylomon ready to throw another stone from his tail. Arukennimon quickly jumped into the air, and watched with much satisfaction as Ankylomon rock attack smashed into Angemon, and Angemon's energy attack blasted into Ankylomon.

As both Digimon regressed to their Rookie forms, Sora's eyes were wide open. "H-How could this have happened? Our Digimon are strong, really powerful! There is no way Arukennimon can be that much stronger!"

"It's because of the virus," Yolei said sadly as Aquillamon regressed to Hawkmon, "It's too strong for our Digimon to beat."

Sora trembled for a second, then turned to where Birdramon was standing behind her. "You're the only one left. I think you'd better Digivolve."

"R...right," she said,"Birdramon digivovle to....ah!"

"What's wrong?" Sora asked, her eyes filled with horror, as her Digimon de-digivolved to her In-training form.

"Digivolving to the next level only made the virus spread faster," Oikawa laughed,"Face it, Sora, you're doomed!"

"Don't you ever call me by my first name, you monster!" Sora screamed,"And if I have to fight you myself, I will!"

"Don't worry Sora, help is here!"

"Kari!" T.K. happily shouted.

"Kari," Sora said, more professionally as Nefertimon landed,"You're okay! What happened in Santa Carea?"

"The city's gone," Kari said sadly,"But we beat Datamon....I'll tell you about it later."

Sora nodded. "Okay, I want a full report on my desk tomorrow morning."

"Providing there is one," Nefertimon added, eying the Dark Lords.

"Kari.." T.K. shouted, hugging her,"I thought I would never see you again.."

Kari smiled lightly,"You know, can't get rid of me." At her side, Davis frowned and cleared his throat.

T.K broke away from Kari's embrace, and held out his hand. "And you are..?"

"This is D.." Kari began.

"Master of Courage," Davis said, shaking T.K.'s hand,"Nice to meet you."

"The Master of Courage?" Sora asked, like she just remembered something,"How's Tai?"

"He's on his way here," Izzy said,"The Digital Gate we went through was obviously an older one, it blew out after we went through."

"Um, excuse me," Oikawa said,"But, I belive we are in the middle of something.."

"We'll handle this now Sora," Kari said.

"Are you sure?" the Digidestined leader asked.

"Yeah," Micheal said,"Your Digimon have all been infected with a plague or something, ours are still healthy."

"And we're more than ready to save this planet!" Seadramon said.

"Alright," Sora said, lifting up Yokomon,"Let's get to the hospital that Joe's at. He should be able to help our Digimon."

"Izzy," Kari said,"You and Kabuterimon give them a ride."

"Are you sure you can handle them by yourselves?" Kabuterimon asked.

"What, don't think we can?" Stingmon asked.

"Come on," Sora said, climbing onto Kabuterimon's back,"Let's go." The giant insect took off and flew back into the city.

"Now," Kari said, turning back to Arukennimon,"Let's see if we can hold out on our own until Tai gets here."

Arukennimon smirked,"When Tai gets here, I'll finish him too. Now, which one of you wants to fight me?"

"I'll do it," Davis said.

"Are you sure?" Ken asked.

"Yes, you should let me do it," Nefertimon said.

"We'll need you to fight Milleniumon and Oikawa," Exveemon said,"But, Master of Courage, why do you want me to fight?"

"Because," Davis said,"Arukennimon is my sister."

"What?!" everyone shouted.

"What are you talking about?" Arukennimon asked,"I'm no one's sister."

Davis reached into his pockets and pulled out a heart shaped necklace,"Why were you wearing my sister's necklace then?"

"That?" Arukennimon asked,"What do you mean...Ah, now it all makes sense, you are the son of the weapons designer, are you not?"

"That's right," Davis said,"Where did you get this necklace?"

"I ripped that off of your father's neck, before I crushed his throat!"

"Y...you killed my father?" Davis shouted. He looked at the back of the necklace closer, but instead of the J.M. he was expecting, he saw the initials G.M. "This is the necklace that my mother gave my father, then my sister is still out there..."

He closed his fist around the necklace, then placed it back around his neck with his own. "For the death of my father, I will kill you!"

"I am back wiz breaking newz," Catherine said into Floramon's camera,"It zeems zat ze Digidestined Digimon have all lost zeir fight, but reinforcements have arrived. One of zem iz now about to engage in a battle wiz ze Dark Lord Arukennimon."

Tai huffed as he and Greymon charged through the thick jungle. "How much longer until we reach the next Digital Gate?" he asked.

"I don't know," Greymon said,"I haven't been in this section of the Digital World before."

"Hang on guys," Tai said to himself,"I'm hurrying as fast as I can."

Davis held onto his Digivice,"Get her, Exveemon!" His Digimon crossed his hands over his chest,"V Laser!"

Arukennimon held out her hands to block the attack. "Nice try," she laughed,"Spider Thread!"

Exveemon's arm was slashed when Arukennimon's thread slashed through it."Exveemon," Davis said,"Hang in there!"

Arukennimon shot forward and slammed her fit into Exveemon's face, then quickly jumped over his head and landed behind him. She spun around and pounded Exveemon in the back of the head. Exveemon went to turn around and return her attack, but she had already moved somewhere else.

"I don't belive how fast she is," Davis said.

Arukennimon was literally running circles around Exveemon. Every time he he tried to attack her, she moved somewhere else. He was about to fly into the air in order to get a better advantage point, when the evil Dark Lord quickly shot into Exveemon's chest, then pounded the underside of his chin, throwing him off of his feet, and onto the ground.

"Hang on buddy," Stingmon shouted,"I'm coming!"

"I...I lost," Davis said, falling to his feet,"She's too strong...."

"No," Ken said, holding out his hand,"We'll fight her together."

"Why?" Davis asked, looking at Ken's outstrechted hand,"Because we're teammates?"

"No," Ken said,"Because we're friends."

Davis smiled slightly and grabbed Ken's hands. When he did, their grip began to glow slightly, and each one felt a small surge of energy through their bodies.

"W..what's going on?" Ken asked.

"I can hear my heartbeat," Davis said to himself,"Wait, that's Ken's heartbeat! What is this?"

Suddenly, Exveemon and Stingmon began to glow as they stood next to each other.

"Exveemon..."

"Stingmon..."

"...DNA Digivolve to Paildramon!"

"Woa," Micheal said,"I didn't know Digimon could do that..!"

"T..they fused together!" Millenimon exclaimed.

"I don't belive it," Nefertimon said, numbly.

"Belive sister!" Paildramon said, slowly hovering into the air,"And now it's time to end this fight."

"You won't take me so easily!" Arukennimon shouted. She began to spin around Paildramon once more. She circled him a few times, before she launched for his chest. She was extremely shocked when Paildramon blocked her attack.

"Don't look so surprised," Paildramon said,"We're both Ultimates, you can't use a higher level of speed to your advantage anymore! You're finished!"

"No!" Arukennimon shouted,"Spider Thread!"

Paildramon fired his twin barrels around his waist,"Desperado Blaster!" His bullets of energy tore right through Arukennimon's body, making the rest of her form disapear.

"That's two down, two to go," Micheal said,"Who's next?"

Milleniumon walked forward, the ground pounding under his feet. "Me! So far you've fought only Ultimates, let's see how you will fair against a Mega!"

Next:Tai vs Oikawa!
