Recap: Davis and the others had returned from the Digital World. Then it was discovered that Yolie and Cody were two more Digidestined. The following day, Izzy and Sora decided to tag along. Yolie and Cody found their Digieggs, gaining their Digimon partners. However, the emperor had prepared an unfriendly reception for them. Flamedramon, Halsemon and Digmon were able to deal with the controlled Digimon, but Davis got separated during the fight and got captured as a result.

Chapter 3: The Upgrade
Well, there was good news and bad news for the Digidestined. The good news was that Yolie and Cody found their Digieggs and got their Digimon partners. The bad news was that during a fight with some enslaved Coelamon and Frigimon, Davis was captured. Everyone, was so occupied on the controlled Digimon that they didn't notice that Davis was separated from them. That made him easy picking for a separate controlled Frigimon.
"We've got to find Davis," Flamedramon said.
"I know Flamedramon, but that's the equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack in this case. We don't know where the Digimon Emperor's base is, and the Digital World is very big," Gatomon said.
"That's not going to stop me. I'll find Davis if I have to turn the Digital World upside down," Flamedramon said determinedly.
"I'm with ya all the way," Digmon said.
"Me too," Halsemon said.
"We all are," Patamon said with the same determination as Flamedramon.
"Let's split up and..." TK started to say when his Digivice when off.
Kari's Digivice also went off.
"I don't get it. There are two more Digieggs. I don't get how they could be ours because we already have our Digimon," Kari said.
"Well, there's only one way to find out. You and I need to find those eggs," TK said.
"Right, so TK and Kari will go off in the direction of the eggs' signal. The rest of us will split up and search for Davis," Cody said. He went off with Digmon.
Yolie and Halsemon went off in another direction. TK and Kari went in the direction of the eggs' signal, their Digimon following close behind. Lastly, Flamedramon flew off into the air. Flamedramon was very determined to find his partner.
'I hope that you're all right Davis. If the Digimon Emperor harms you, I don't know what I'd do,' Flamedramon thought. He was concerned about Davis enough already. He was a lot more concerned due to the fact that Davis is blind. He knew that Davis could be in a lot of danger because Davis would be at a disadvantage.
One thing that most Digimon knew was how to attack quietly. Davis would be a sitting duck for sure. Meanwhile, Davis still sat in the Digimon Emperor's cell room. The Digimon Emperor had chained him up. Davis sat with chains on his wrists. The chains were attached to the wall so Davis couldn't move around much.
'I don't know what the Digimon Emperor has in store for me, but it can't be good. I just hope the others are okay. I hope that they can find me,' Davis thought.
Meanwhile, the others had no such luck in finding the base. Gatomon's analogy was very correct here. They searched high and low for three hours and they were still not able to find anything. Yolie and Halsemon had met up with Flamedramon. Then Yolie took out her D-Terminal and sent Cody an email. Cody heard his D-Terminal beeping.
"What is it Cody?" Digmon asked.
Cody took out his D-Terminal and saw a message from Yolie. "It's an email from Yolie. She says to follow my D3 to meet up with her and Flamedramon," Cody said. He heard his D3 beeping a few seconds later. He and Digmon followed the D3 directions and soon caught up to Yolie, Halsemon and Flamedramon.
"I wonder where the Digimon Emperor is hiding. We should've spotted something by now," Yolei said.
"I just hope that TK and Kari are having better luck than we are," Flamedramon added.
Meanwhile, TK and Kari were having better luck. They found the cave that the signal came from and were in it. They soon came to the source of the signal. As Kari guessed, two more eggs were what gave off the signal. The first one was gold with the symbol of hope on it, and the second one was white with the symbol of light on it.
"I wonder what will happen," Kari said. She had TK stepped up to their respective eggs.
Then a glow came from their Digivices. They saw their Digivices take on a new shape. When the light died down, they saw that they now had D3s as well. TK's D3 was kind of golden in color, and Kari's was pink. They then lifted the Digieggs with no trouble.
"Now we have D3s as well," Kari said.
"We can also help now. Are you ready to Digivolve Patamon?" TK asked.
"You know it," Patamon said.
"Digi Armor Energize!" TK and Kari shouted.
"Patamon Armor Digivolve to..."
A golden light surrounded Patamon. A new figure began to form from the light. The light then dimmed to reveal a winged horse with pieces of the Digiegg of Hope all over his body.
"Pegasusmon: Flying Hope!" the new Digimon said.
"Gatomon Armor Digivolve to..."
A pink light surrounded Gatomon, also forming a new figure. The light disappeared to reveal a white winged sphinx. The Digiegg of Light's armor was all over this Digimon too.
"Nefertimon: The Angel of Light!"
"Awesome!" TK said.
"I'm with you," Kari added.
"I am Pegasusmon. As Patamon, I use the Digiegg of Hope to Armor Digivolve. My Star Shower leaves my enemies seeing stars," the winged horse Digimon said.
"And I am Nefertimon. As Gatomon, I use the Digiegg of Light to Armor Digivolve. My Rosetta Stones knock my enemies out cold," the winged sphinx Digimon said.
"Let's get out of here. Our friends need our help," TK said.
TK, Kari and their Digimon left the cave. Then TK and Kari got onto their respective partners backs, and the Digimon flew off. TK and Kari used their D3s to locate the others. They made it in a couple of hours. Needless to day, Yolie, Cody, Halsemon, Digmon and Flamedramon were surprised to see the new Digimon.
"Whoa, who are they?" Cody asked in awe.
"These are Pegasusmon and Nefertimon. They're the Armor Digivolutions of Patamon and Gatomon," Kari responded. She then showed them her D3. "The Digieggs that are now ours upgraded our Digivices so now TK and I have D3s like you."
Meanwhile, back at the base, the Digimon Emperor confronted Davis again. "I know that your friends have freed those Digimon and are now looking for you. If they want to find you so bad, then I'll give them what they want. Of course, you're just the bait for them," the Digimon Emperor said.
"You won't get away with this," Davis said.
"Oh, but I already have my naive prisoner. Now all that's left is to set the trap," the Digimon Emperor said. He then left the cell room and back into the control room.
The flying base then headed for a cliff range. Upon reaching the area, the Digimon Emperor flew out on an Airdramon. Davis was held in the Airdramon's tail. Then the emperor attatched a chain to a sturdy branch sticking out of the cliff side. Davis was then hung by his wrists.
"Now that the bait has been laid out, let's see how long it takes for the other Digidestined brats to find you and fall into my trap," the Digimon Emperor said.
The Airdramon let go of Davis and flew the Digimon Emperor back to the base. The base flew off when the emperor was back in the control room. A group of Snimon and Mikemon were waiting in the shadows for the Digidestined to attempt a rescue. Davis tried not to lose hope or faith that his friends would find him.
'Flamedramon, please find me,' Davis thought desperately. What he would eventually discover is that he could actually display images to his partner.
Flamedramon and the others were planning what their next move should be. Suddenly, Flamedramon looked up as if in a trance. In the trance, he saw his partner chained to a cliff side. The others were worried upon seeing Flamedramon's far-off look and tried to snap him out of it.
"Are you all right Flamedramon? You look like you just saw a ghost," Yolie said.
"Huh? Oh-I don't know how, but I saw Davis," Flamedramon said.
"How did you see him?" Kari asked confused.
"I saw him in my mind. He's chained to a branch in the side of a cliff," Flamedramon responded.
"Do you know where he is?" Pegasusmon asked.
"Yes," Flamedramon responded.
Digmon reverted to Armadillomon. He and Cody then got on Halsemon with Yolie. TK got back on Pegasusmon, and Kari got back on Nefertimon. Then the Digimon took to the air with Flamedramon leading the way. No one saw the Flymon secretly following. That way, the Digimon Emperor would know where the Digidestined were.
"Excellent. They're falling right into my trap. They'll soon know how foolish it is to defy me," the Digimon Emperor said.
Flamedramon led the other Digimon to the spot where he saw Davis. He still couldn't understand how he was able to see his partner even though they were separated a good distance. 'How was I able to see Davis in my mind? Is Davis somehow doing this?' he thought. Then he had a determined look on his face. He was very determined to save his partner.
Meanwhile, the Mikemon and Snimon were stationed in different areas where Davis is hanging. A couple of Snimon were in the air as lookouts for the Digidestineds' Digimon. Half an hour later, one could see some Digimon approaching. As the approaching Digimon got closer, the Snimon saw that it was the Digidestined and their Digimon.
"Our prey is approaching," the two Snimon said before getting into their positions.
Soon, the other Digidestined and their Digimon landed. They looked around but didn't see Davis.
"Are you sure that this is the place Flamedramon?" TK asked.
"I'm positive TK," Flamedramon responded.
Davis who was still hanging with his head hung low suddenly heard voices. He thought he was dreaming when he heard someone say Flamedramon's name. 'Is he really here? How did he find me so quickly?' he thought.
"We'll just have to look for Davis," Flamedramon said.
"Flamedramon, I'm down here!" a familiar voice shouted.
Everyone's heads turned at the voice. "Davis?! Where are you?" they asked.
"Look over the side," Davis responded.
Flamedramon went to the edge of the cliff and looked over the side. Sure enough, he found Davis hanging over the side of the cliff. He flew down. "I'll have you out of here in a few seconds," he said.
"Not if we take you down first. Twin Sickle!" multiple voices said.
"Flamedramon, behind you!" Davis shouted.
Flamedramon turned around to see pink energy blades shooting right for him. "Flame Shield!" he shouted and became surrounded in flames.
The Twin Sickle dissolved in the Flame Shield. Flamedramon then let out the breath he was holding and turned back to Davis.
"How did you know that they were behind me?" Flamedramon asked.
"I can usually tell where someone is after I hear them speak. Those Digimon apparently all wanted to attack you while your back was still turned," Davis responded.
"Thanks Davis. Now to get you out of here," Flamedramon said.
"I don't think so. Meatball Punch!" a new voice said.
Flamedramon looked up to see more of a tasty appetizer than an attack. It was a giant meatball in the shape of a fist. But this appetizer was coming too fast.
"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon countered.
The fiery attack blasted the Meatball Punch apart. Flamedramon knew that the only way he could help Davis was to drive off the controlled Digimon. He flew up over the cliff to see Nefertimon, Digmon, Pegasusmon and Halsemon engaged in Digital combat.
"Flamedramon, is Davis all right?" Cody asked.
"He is for the moment. He's hanging from a tree brance sticking out of a cliff wall. I just hope that we can free these Digimon before one of them cuts the chain around his wrists," Flamedramon responded.
Well, this will do for starters. Gold Rush!" Digmon said.
The five drills shot out, destroying five of the ten Snimon's dark rings. The freed Digimon then flew away. Digmon was so focused on the now freed Digimon, that he didn't see Mikemon ready to attack.
"Cat Claw!" the Mikemon shouted. It charged in like Gatomon(A/N: Sorry if the description of these attacks is wrong HyperMan, but I haven't see a Mikemon in action before so I don't know what the attacks look like).
Digmon didn't see the attack until it was too late. The attack sent him over the cliff. If that wasn't bad enough, one of Digmon's drills broke one of the links in to the chain binding Davis. It was now a race against time.
"Digmon!" Cody screamed.
Flamedramon dove down the cliff after the falling Digimon. He soon caught up to Digmon and wrapped his arms around Digmon's waist just as Digmon regained consciousness. "I gotcha," he said before flying back up. He flew back over the cliff and put Digmon a safe distance away.
"Digmon, you're all right!" Cody happily shouted, running to and hugging his partner.
"Yes I am. Thank you Flamedramon," Digmon said.
"You're welcome and don't mention it," Flamedramon said.
Both Flamedramon and Digmon failed to notice that the break in the chain links had gotten wider. They then turned their attention to the Mikemon while Halsemon, Nefertimon and Pegasusmon were handling the Snimon.
"It's time you were brought to your senses," Digmon said. He stepped in front of Cody. "Gold Rush!" he shouted.
The five drills streaked for the five Mikemon. The Mikemon didn't have time to get out of the way. The drills hit their mark, and the Mikemon were free. They saluted Flamedramon and Digmon in gratitude before leaving.
"What kind of Digimon was that anyway?" Digmon asked.
"I don't know. I've never see a Digimon like that before," Flamedramon responded.
"According to my D-3, those Digimon were Mikemon. They're Champion-level Data-type Digimon. Their attacks are Cat Claw and Meatball Punch," Cody said.
"They almost look like Gatomon," Flamedramon said.
"Hey, you're right. I wonder if Gatomon knows them," Cody said.
Flamedramon then flew up to help his fellow Digimon handle the five remaining Snimon. The Snimon were weakening, but they managed to avoid all the attacks aimed at their dark rings.
"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon shouted.
Three small missile-like fireballs headed for three of the five Snimon. The fireballs hit their mark, and three of the five remaining Snimon were free from the emperor's control. The other two looked to see who did that, giving Halsemon, Pegasusmon and Nefertimon the opportunity to destroy the dark rings.
Pegasusmon's wings then had white sparkles in them. "Star Shower!" he shouted, flapping his wings in the Snimons' direction as small stars came out of his wings.
"Rosetta Stones!" Nefertimon shouted as small stone tablets like the ones seen in pyramids shout out towards the Snimon.
"Tempest Wing!" Halsemon finished.
The three oncoming attacks caught the two Snimon by surprise. Their dark rings finally shattered. They thanked the Digidestined for freeing them before happily flying on their merry little way. But everyone was so focused on the battle, that they didn't think to check on Davis. The links in the chain had gotten dangerously wider. It wasn't long now before the chain snapped off.
"Davis! We were so focused on the Snimon and Mikemon that we forgot about him!" Kari suddenly shouted.
"Oh no," Flamedramon said horrified. He quickly flew down to help his partner.
The chain completely snapped, sending Davis plunging for the ground below.
"Davis!" Flamedramon screamed. He dove after his falling partner. "Gotcha!" he said when he caught his partner bridle style. Then he flew back up. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"I am now Flamedramon, thanks to you," Davis said.
Flamedramon flew back over the cliff and placed Davis down. He then melted the part of the chain binding Davis's wrists with a Flaming Fist attack. Davis rubbed his very sore wrists.
"Ah, it feels really good to have that chain off," Davis said.
"Are you all right Davis?" Yolie asked.
"Yes Yolie, thanks to Flamedramon. I'm grateful that you were able to find me," Davis responded.
"It wasn't us Davis. It was Flamedramon," Pegasusmon said.
"You found me Flamedramon?" Davis asked in confusion.
"Yes Davis, it was I. I still don't know how I was able to find you. I saw where you were in my head," Flamedramon responded.
"How could you see me in your head?" Davis asked.
"I don't know Davis. But I think that it was something you did," Flamedramon responded.
"Me??" Davis asked in mass confusion.
"We'll figure it all out later. For now, let's just head back to the Real World," Cody said.
Digmon reverted to Armadillomon before boarding Halsemon with Yolie. Flamedramon scooped up Davis, and the flying Digimon flew off for the Digiport. They landed at one forty-five minutes later. Flamedramon, put Davis down, and the other Digidestined dismounted their partners. The the other Digimon reverted to their Rookie forms.
"Digiport Open!" Yolie shouted before she and the others were sucked into the port.
After getting untangled from landing in a not so neat heap on the floor, the Digidestined who could see were very surprised. Patamon, Gatomon and three small Digimon had come through the port with them. One of the three small Digimon was a blue Digimon with large red eyes, a white stomach and stubby-looking hands and feet. The second small Digimon looked like a pink feathery fluff ball with a beak and small wings. The third looked like a yellow fluff ball with small wing-shaped ears.
"Who are you?" Yolie asked the small blue Digimon.
"I guess that it's time for reintroductions. I'm Demiveemon, Veemon's In-Training form," the blue Digimon responded.
"I'm Poromon, Hawkmon's In-Training form," the pink Digimon said.
"And I'm Upamon. I'm Armadillomon's In-Training form," the yellow Digimon responded.
"Why did you come through with us?" Kari asked.
"We have a better chance of the Digimon Emperor not enslaving us if we're with you. That's why we decided to come through the port too," Gatomon responded.
The others nodded. That theory made a lot of sense. Demiveemon bounced up to Davis and went into his lap. Then he made his way onto Davis's shoulder. Yolie, Cody, Kari and TK simply picked up their Digimon.
"I need to be heading home. I don't want my parents and my sister worrying about me," Davis said. "I don't know how I'm going to get home since my parents brought me here instead of Annie guiding me here this time."
"I'll help you home if you want," TK offered.
"Thanks TK. I greatly appreciate it," Davis said. He then told TK his address.
TK and Kari gasped in shock.
"Is something wrong?" Davis asked.
"No Davis. It's just that Kari and I live across the street from you," TK responded.
"So, we find out that we're neighbors. It's a small world after all isn't it?" Davis said smiling.
"I guess it is," Kari said smiling. "It looks like the three of us can walk to school and back home together," she added.
Davis and TK nodded before the three of them and their partners headed home. Yolie, Cody and their partners when different ways. On the way to their homes, TK told Davis how he and Kari now had D-3s as well. Then Kari posed the question.
"You handled yourself very well in the Digital World despite your handicap Davis. The others and I were wondering if you would want to be our leader," Kari said.
"That's a big responsibility. One that I don't know if I can handle," Davis said.
"We'll help you every step of the way," TK said.
"That's right!" Patamon, Gatomon and Demiveemon said.
"Well, I guess that I'm up to it. We'll tell the others that I accept tomorrow," Davis said.
The others nodded and continued on their way home. Demiveemon was relieved that he was able to find Davis in time. Demiveemon didn't know what he'd do if he didn't make it in time.
'I'll do everything in my power to protect you Davis,' Demiveemon thought.
And that's the end of this chapter. Well, I did say that there would be twists from the original series and Davis being able to project where he was to Flamedramon is a big twist. That is one of the twists that will happen more as this story progresses. Preview for Chapter 4: Time to Digivolve: So far, all the Digidestined know is that the Digimon Emperor has something that blocks regular Digivolution. But they don't know the actual source of this yet. While battling an army of controlled Digimon, the Digidestined finally discover what's keeping the Digimon from Digivolving normally.
Stay tuned all you Digimon readers out there. Digimon 02: The Strength of Friendship and Digimon 03: The Power of One will be updated before the week is over. For all you Yugioh readers out there, the next Yugioh fic that I will finally update is the next chapter to A Mutant Family. I know I haven't updated that in a while but having a brain freeze is no fun. I was finally able to get my ideas straight and finish the chapter last week. After A Mutant Family is updated, then I will update the next chapters to Ides of Manhattan and Not Really A Demon.

Chapter 3: The Upgrade
Well, there was good news and bad news for the Digidestined. The good news was that Yolie and Cody found their Digieggs and got their Digimon partners. The bad news was that during a fight with some enslaved Coelamon and Frigimon, Davis was captured. Everyone, was so occupied on the controlled Digimon that they didn't notice that Davis was separated from them. That made him easy picking for a separate controlled Frigimon.
"We've got to find Davis," Flamedramon said.
"I know Flamedramon, but that's the equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack in this case. We don't know where the Digimon Emperor's base is, and the Digital World is very big," Gatomon said.
"That's not going to stop me. I'll find Davis if I have to turn the Digital World upside down," Flamedramon said determinedly.
"I'm with ya all the way," Digmon said.
"Me too," Halsemon said.
"We all are," Patamon said with the same determination as Flamedramon.
"Let's split up and..." TK started to say when his Digivice when off.
Kari's Digivice also went off.
"I don't get it. There are two more Digieggs. I don't get how they could be ours because we already have our Digimon," Kari said.
"Well, there's only one way to find out. You and I need to find those eggs," TK said.
"Right, so TK and Kari will go off in the direction of the eggs' signal. The rest of us will split up and search for Davis," Cody said. He went off with Digmon.
Yolie and Halsemon went off in another direction. TK and Kari went in the direction of the eggs' signal, their Digimon following close behind. Lastly, Flamedramon flew off into the air. Flamedramon was very determined to find his partner.
'I hope that you're all right Davis. If the Digimon Emperor harms you, I don't know what I'd do,' Flamedramon thought. He was concerned about Davis enough already. He was a lot more concerned due to the fact that Davis is blind. He knew that Davis could be in a lot of danger because Davis would be at a disadvantage.
One thing that most Digimon knew was how to attack quietly. Davis would be a sitting duck for sure. Meanwhile, Davis still sat in the Digimon Emperor's cell room. The Digimon Emperor had chained him up. Davis sat with chains on his wrists. The chains were attached to the wall so Davis couldn't move around much.
'I don't know what the Digimon Emperor has in store for me, but it can't be good. I just hope the others are okay. I hope that they can find me,' Davis thought.
Meanwhile, the others had no such luck in finding the base. Gatomon's analogy was very correct here. They searched high and low for three hours and they were still not able to find anything. Yolie and Halsemon had met up with Flamedramon. Then Yolie took out her D-Terminal and sent Cody an email. Cody heard his D-Terminal beeping.
"What is it Cody?" Digmon asked.
Cody took out his D-Terminal and saw a message from Yolie. "It's an email from Yolie. She says to follow my D3 to meet up with her and Flamedramon," Cody said. He heard his D3 beeping a few seconds later. He and Digmon followed the D3 directions and soon caught up to Yolie, Halsemon and Flamedramon.
"I wonder where the Digimon Emperor is hiding. We should've spotted something by now," Yolei said.
"I just hope that TK and Kari are having better luck than we are," Flamedramon added.
Meanwhile, TK and Kari were having better luck. They found the cave that the signal came from and were in it. They soon came to the source of the signal. As Kari guessed, two more eggs were what gave off the signal. The first one was gold with the symbol of hope on it, and the second one was white with the symbol of light on it.
"I wonder what will happen," Kari said. She had TK stepped up to their respective eggs.
Then a glow came from their Digivices. They saw their Digivices take on a new shape. When the light died down, they saw that they now had D3s as well. TK's D3 was kind of golden in color, and Kari's was pink. They then lifted the Digieggs with no trouble.
"Now we have D3s as well," Kari said.
"We can also help now. Are you ready to Digivolve Patamon?" TK asked.
"You know it," Patamon said.
"Digi Armor Energize!" TK and Kari shouted.
"Patamon Armor Digivolve to..."
A golden light surrounded Patamon. A new figure began to form from the light. The light then dimmed to reveal a winged horse with pieces of the Digiegg of Hope all over his body.
"Pegasusmon: Flying Hope!" the new Digimon said.
"Gatomon Armor Digivolve to..."
A pink light surrounded Gatomon, also forming a new figure. The light disappeared to reveal a white winged sphinx. The Digiegg of Light's armor was all over this Digimon too.
"Nefertimon: The Angel of Light!"
"Awesome!" TK said.
"I'm with you," Kari added.
"I am Pegasusmon. As Patamon, I use the Digiegg of Hope to Armor Digivolve. My Star Shower leaves my enemies seeing stars," the winged horse Digimon said.
"And I am Nefertimon. As Gatomon, I use the Digiegg of Light to Armor Digivolve. My Rosetta Stones knock my enemies out cold," the winged sphinx Digimon said.
"Let's get out of here. Our friends need our help," TK said.
TK, Kari and their Digimon left the cave. Then TK and Kari got onto their respective partners backs, and the Digimon flew off. TK and Kari used their D3s to locate the others. They made it in a couple of hours. Needless to day, Yolie, Cody, Halsemon, Digmon and Flamedramon were surprised to see the new Digimon.
"Whoa, who are they?" Cody asked in awe.
"These are Pegasusmon and Nefertimon. They're the Armor Digivolutions of Patamon and Gatomon," Kari responded. She then showed them her D3. "The Digieggs that are now ours upgraded our Digivices so now TK and I have D3s like you."
Meanwhile, back at the base, the Digimon Emperor confronted Davis again. "I know that your friends have freed those Digimon and are now looking for you. If they want to find you so bad, then I'll give them what they want. Of course, you're just the bait for them," the Digimon Emperor said.
"You won't get away with this," Davis said.
"Oh, but I already have my naive prisoner. Now all that's left is to set the trap," the Digimon Emperor said. He then left the cell room and back into the control room.
The flying base then headed for a cliff range. Upon reaching the area, the Digimon Emperor flew out on an Airdramon. Davis was held in the Airdramon's tail. Then the emperor attatched a chain to a sturdy branch sticking out of the cliff side. Davis was then hung by his wrists.
"Now that the bait has been laid out, let's see how long it takes for the other Digidestined brats to find you and fall into my trap," the Digimon Emperor said.
The Airdramon let go of Davis and flew the Digimon Emperor back to the base. The base flew off when the emperor was back in the control room. A group of Snimon and Mikemon were waiting in the shadows for the Digidestined to attempt a rescue. Davis tried not to lose hope or faith that his friends would find him.
'Flamedramon, please find me,' Davis thought desperately. What he would eventually discover is that he could actually display images to his partner.
Flamedramon and the others were planning what their next move should be. Suddenly, Flamedramon looked up as if in a trance. In the trance, he saw his partner chained to a cliff side. The others were worried upon seeing Flamedramon's far-off look and tried to snap him out of it.
"Are you all right Flamedramon? You look like you just saw a ghost," Yolie said.
"Huh? Oh-I don't know how, but I saw Davis," Flamedramon said.
"How did you see him?" Kari asked confused.
"I saw him in my mind. He's chained to a branch in the side of a cliff," Flamedramon responded.
"Do you know where he is?" Pegasusmon asked.
"Yes," Flamedramon responded.
Digmon reverted to Armadillomon. He and Cody then got on Halsemon with Yolie. TK got back on Pegasusmon, and Kari got back on Nefertimon. Then the Digimon took to the air with Flamedramon leading the way. No one saw the Flymon secretly following. That way, the Digimon Emperor would know where the Digidestined were.
"Excellent. They're falling right into my trap. They'll soon know how foolish it is to defy me," the Digimon Emperor said.
Flamedramon led the other Digimon to the spot where he saw Davis. He still couldn't understand how he was able to see his partner even though they were separated a good distance. 'How was I able to see Davis in my mind? Is Davis somehow doing this?' he thought. Then he had a determined look on his face. He was very determined to save his partner.
Meanwhile, the Mikemon and Snimon were stationed in different areas where Davis is hanging. A couple of Snimon were in the air as lookouts for the Digidestineds' Digimon. Half an hour later, one could see some Digimon approaching. As the approaching Digimon got closer, the Snimon saw that it was the Digidestined and their Digimon.
"Our prey is approaching," the two Snimon said before getting into their positions.
Soon, the other Digidestined and their Digimon landed. They looked around but didn't see Davis.
"Are you sure that this is the place Flamedramon?" TK asked.
"I'm positive TK," Flamedramon responded.
Davis who was still hanging with his head hung low suddenly heard voices. He thought he was dreaming when he heard someone say Flamedramon's name. 'Is he really here? How did he find me so quickly?' he thought.
"We'll just have to look for Davis," Flamedramon said.
"Flamedramon, I'm down here!" a familiar voice shouted.
Everyone's heads turned at the voice. "Davis?! Where are you?" they asked.
"Look over the side," Davis responded.
Flamedramon went to the edge of the cliff and looked over the side. Sure enough, he found Davis hanging over the side of the cliff. He flew down. "I'll have you out of here in a few seconds," he said.
"Not if we take you down first. Twin Sickle!" multiple voices said.
"Flamedramon, behind you!" Davis shouted.
Flamedramon turned around to see pink energy blades shooting right for him. "Flame Shield!" he shouted and became surrounded in flames.
The Twin Sickle dissolved in the Flame Shield. Flamedramon then let out the breath he was holding and turned back to Davis.
"How did you know that they were behind me?" Flamedramon asked.
"I can usually tell where someone is after I hear them speak. Those Digimon apparently all wanted to attack you while your back was still turned," Davis responded.
"Thanks Davis. Now to get you out of here," Flamedramon said.
"I don't think so. Meatball Punch!" a new voice said.
Flamedramon looked up to see more of a tasty appetizer than an attack. It was a giant meatball in the shape of a fist. But this appetizer was coming too fast.
"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon countered.
The fiery attack blasted the Meatball Punch apart. Flamedramon knew that the only way he could help Davis was to drive off the controlled Digimon. He flew up over the cliff to see Nefertimon, Digmon, Pegasusmon and Halsemon engaged in Digital combat.
"Flamedramon, is Davis all right?" Cody asked.
"He is for the moment. He's hanging from a tree brance sticking out of a cliff wall. I just hope that we can free these Digimon before one of them cuts the chain around his wrists," Flamedramon responded.
Well, this will do for starters. Gold Rush!" Digmon said.
The five drills shot out, destroying five of the ten Snimon's dark rings. The freed Digimon then flew away. Digmon was so focused on the now freed Digimon, that he didn't see Mikemon ready to attack.
"Cat Claw!" the Mikemon shouted. It charged in like Gatomon(A/N: Sorry if the description of these attacks is wrong HyperMan, but I haven't see a Mikemon in action before so I don't know what the attacks look like).
Digmon didn't see the attack until it was too late. The attack sent him over the cliff. If that wasn't bad enough, one of Digmon's drills broke one of the links in to the chain binding Davis. It was now a race against time.
"Digmon!" Cody screamed.
Flamedramon dove down the cliff after the falling Digimon. He soon caught up to Digmon and wrapped his arms around Digmon's waist just as Digmon regained consciousness. "I gotcha," he said before flying back up. He flew back over the cliff and put Digmon a safe distance away.
"Digmon, you're all right!" Cody happily shouted, running to and hugging his partner.
"Yes I am. Thank you Flamedramon," Digmon said.
"You're welcome and don't mention it," Flamedramon said.
Both Flamedramon and Digmon failed to notice that the break in the chain links had gotten wider. They then turned their attention to the Mikemon while Halsemon, Nefertimon and Pegasusmon were handling the Snimon.
"It's time you were brought to your senses," Digmon said. He stepped in front of Cody. "Gold Rush!" he shouted.
The five drills streaked for the five Mikemon. The Mikemon didn't have time to get out of the way. The drills hit their mark, and the Mikemon were free. They saluted Flamedramon and Digmon in gratitude before leaving.
"What kind of Digimon was that anyway?" Digmon asked.
"I don't know. I've never see a Digimon like that before," Flamedramon responded.
"According to my D-3, those Digimon were Mikemon. They're Champion-level Data-type Digimon. Their attacks are Cat Claw and Meatball Punch," Cody said.
"They almost look like Gatomon," Flamedramon said.
"Hey, you're right. I wonder if Gatomon knows them," Cody said.
Flamedramon then flew up to help his fellow Digimon handle the five remaining Snimon. The Snimon were weakening, but they managed to avoid all the attacks aimed at their dark rings.
"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon shouted.
Three small missile-like fireballs headed for three of the five Snimon. The fireballs hit their mark, and three of the five remaining Snimon were free from the emperor's control. The other two looked to see who did that, giving Halsemon, Pegasusmon and Nefertimon the opportunity to destroy the dark rings.
Pegasusmon's wings then had white sparkles in them. "Star Shower!" he shouted, flapping his wings in the Snimons' direction as small stars came out of his wings.
"Rosetta Stones!" Nefertimon shouted as small stone tablets like the ones seen in pyramids shout out towards the Snimon.
"Tempest Wing!" Halsemon finished.
The three oncoming attacks caught the two Snimon by surprise. Their dark rings finally shattered. They thanked the Digidestined for freeing them before happily flying on their merry little way. But everyone was so focused on the battle, that they didn't think to check on Davis. The links in the chain had gotten dangerously wider. It wasn't long now before the chain snapped off.
"Davis! We were so focused on the Snimon and Mikemon that we forgot about him!" Kari suddenly shouted.
"Oh no," Flamedramon said horrified. He quickly flew down to help his partner.
The chain completely snapped, sending Davis plunging for the ground below.
"Davis!" Flamedramon screamed. He dove after his falling partner. "Gotcha!" he said when he caught his partner bridle style. Then he flew back up. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"I am now Flamedramon, thanks to you," Davis said.
Flamedramon flew back over the cliff and placed Davis down. He then melted the part of the chain binding Davis's wrists with a Flaming Fist attack. Davis rubbed his very sore wrists.
"Ah, it feels really good to have that chain off," Davis said.
"Are you all right Davis?" Yolie asked.
"Yes Yolie, thanks to Flamedramon. I'm grateful that you were able to find me," Davis responded.
"It wasn't us Davis. It was Flamedramon," Pegasusmon said.
"You found me Flamedramon?" Davis asked in confusion.
"Yes Davis, it was I. I still don't know how I was able to find you. I saw where you were in my head," Flamedramon responded.
"How could you see me in your head?" Davis asked.
"I don't know Davis. But I think that it was something you did," Flamedramon responded.
"Me??" Davis asked in mass confusion.
"We'll figure it all out later. For now, let's just head back to the Real World," Cody said.
Digmon reverted to Armadillomon before boarding Halsemon with Yolie. Flamedramon scooped up Davis, and the flying Digimon flew off for the Digiport. They landed at one forty-five minutes later. Flamedramon, put Davis down, and the other Digidestined dismounted their partners. The the other Digimon reverted to their Rookie forms.
"Digiport Open!" Yolie shouted before she and the others were sucked into the port.
After getting untangled from landing in a not so neat heap on the floor, the Digidestined who could see were very surprised. Patamon, Gatomon and three small Digimon had come through the port with them. One of the three small Digimon was a blue Digimon with large red eyes, a white stomach and stubby-looking hands and feet. The second small Digimon looked like a pink feathery fluff ball with a beak and small wings. The third looked like a yellow fluff ball with small wing-shaped ears.
"Who are you?" Yolie asked the small blue Digimon.
"I guess that it's time for reintroductions. I'm Demiveemon, Veemon's In-Training form," the blue Digimon responded.
"I'm Poromon, Hawkmon's In-Training form," the pink Digimon said.
"And I'm Upamon. I'm Armadillomon's In-Training form," the yellow Digimon responded.
"Why did you come through with us?" Kari asked.
"We have a better chance of the Digimon Emperor not enslaving us if we're with you. That's why we decided to come through the port too," Gatomon responded.
The others nodded. That theory made a lot of sense. Demiveemon bounced up to Davis and went into his lap. Then he made his way onto Davis's shoulder. Yolie, Cody, Kari and TK simply picked up their Digimon.
"I need to be heading home. I don't want my parents and my sister worrying about me," Davis said. "I don't know how I'm going to get home since my parents brought me here instead of Annie guiding me here this time."
"I'll help you home if you want," TK offered.
"Thanks TK. I greatly appreciate it," Davis said. He then told TK his address.
TK and Kari gasped in shock.
"Is something wrong?" Davis asked.
"No Davis. It's just that Kari and I live across the street from you," TK responded.
"So, we find out that we're neighbors. It's a small world after all isn't it?" Davis said smiling.
"I guess it is," Kari said smiling. "It looks like the three of us can walk to school and back home together," she added.
Davis and TK nodded before the three of them and their partners headed home. Yolie, Cody and their partners when different ways. On the way to their homes, TK told Davis how he and Kari now had D-3s as well. Then Kari posed the question.
"You handled yourself very well in the Digital World despite your handicap Davis. The others and I were wondering if you would want to be our leader," Kari said.
"That's a big responsibility. One that I don't know if I can handle," Davis said.
"We'll help you every step of the way," TK said.
"That's right!" Patamon, Gatomon and Demiveemon said.
"Well, I guess that I'm up to it. We'll tell the others that I accept tomorrow," Davis said.
The others nodded and continued on their way home. Demiveemon was relieved that he was able to find Davis in time. Demiveemon didn't know what he'd do if he didn't make it in time.
'I'll do everything in my power to protect you Davis,' Demiveemon thought.
And that's the end of this chapter. Well, I did say that there would be twists from the original series and Davis being able to project where he was to Flamedramon is a big twist. That is one of the twists that will happen more as this story progresses. Preview for Chapter 4: Time to Digivolve: So far, all the Digidestined know is that the Digimon Emperor has something that blocks regular Digivolution. But they don't know the actual source of this yet. While battling an army of controlled Digimon, the Digidestined finally discover what's keeping the Digimon from Digivolving normally.
Stay tuned all you Digimon readers out there. Digimon 02: The Strength of Friendship and Digimon 03: The Power of One will be updated before the week is over. For all you Yugioh readers out there, the next Yugioh fic that I will finally update is the next chapter to A Mutant Family.
