What has happened before: The Digidestined are reuniting in the Pokemon
Islands.  But the Evil Brotherhood of Digimon launched attacks on the
team.  The first attack involving Oganmon failed, as he was freed from
their control.  Some of the Digimon return.  Myotismon decided to take
out Kari, now a news reporter, by herself.

Episode 11: The Crest of Love


Tai felt the air part before the Vampire Digimon as he lunged at him,
his nails out like claws. Time seemed to stop before a voice shouted
out, "Ballista Torpedo!"

Myotismon was knocked backwards by the assault of lightning powers.
Straightening up, he wiped at his mouth. "Pikamon. And the brats."

"This is as far as you go Myotismon," Pikamon declared, cracking his
knuckles.

"We will see. Grizly Wing!"

"Ballista Torpedo!"

The two attacks exploded together, sending up a tremendous amount of
dust. Pikamon coughed for a few seconds before a sharp pain introduced
itself to his gut as Myotismon punched hard and then slammed his hand
down on his neck. The Mouse Digimon collapsed with a grunt of pain.

"Take this! Wolf Claw!"

"Electro Shocker!"

"Hand of Fate!"

Myotismon then had to contend with the two Champions and one Ultimate as
they unleashed their attacks without stopping. During the fight, Ash ran
up and helped his friend up. "Are you alright Pikamon?"

He shook his head to clear it. "I'm fine," he ground out.

"Good thing we got here in time," Ranma said, assessing the opponent
before him.

"This is bad," Brock declared. "There's not enough room for all of us!
We could hit someone!" He swept his hand, indicating the cowering
remains of the news crew.

"Got any ideas?" Tracy asked.

"Tactical Nuke?" Misty said, drawing stares from her friends.

Ash chuckled humorlessly. "That sounded like a good idea."

Meanwhile, Myotismon fended off the attacks of two Champions and one
Ultimate with ease. Diverting an Electro Shocker, he turned to Kari who
was with Tai and Sora, smiling humorlessly. "This is all fun and games
but it ends here." He crossed his arms.

"Nightmare..."

"Celestial Arrow!"

The energy arrow sped true as it slammed into Myotismon's arm. He
screamed in pain as he wrenched the pure light from his limb and turned,
snarling. "Angewoman! You have interfered for the last time! Prepare
for the worst! Terror Soul!"

In an instant, the whole room became a spinning vortex of black energy.
Then, screaming energy came whipping out like a storm. A hurricane of
power knocked each of them back and strangely enough, turned the Digimon
back to In Training save for Pikamon who ducked behind a ruined table and
Angewoman who was outside the range of the attack.

Myotismon sneered once again as he raised his hand. "Time to finish this
once and for all! Crimson Lightning!" He aimed his attack and snapped it
at Tai who shielded Sora and Kari, his back turned towards the attack.
Tai braced for the attack that would most likely kill him.

Suddenly, two cries accompanied twin attacks which knocked him away, the
Crimson Lightning scarring the remains of the Channel Seven News Room,
scant inches away where Tai shielded Kari and Sora with his body.

"Sora!" called out a voice which she knew very well.

"Byiomon!"

"Don't forget about me!"

"Agumon! You're back as well!"

Myotismon snarled. "Too many Digimon. I'll be back, just you wait!" In a
flash of red lightning, he disappeared from view.

Kari stood up as Tai let them up. She walked into the middle of the rubble
and looked at Angewoman who smiled back. The pair hugged briefly before
Angewoman said, "We'd better get out of here."

"She's right," Tsunomon said, recovered from the De-Digivolving attack.
"No telling when Myotismon will be back."

At that moment, Oganmon came running up the stairs. "I saw the
explosions! Everything alright here?"

"We're fine," Izzy said. "No harm done."

"That's a relief. Hey Tai! Sora! Kari! It's been a long time."

"Twenty years," Tai said, standing up from where he was talking to
Agumon.

Oganmon nodded and then his gaze fell on Pikamon and he laughed. "A
Rookie tried to take on Myotismon? What's a matter Leomon, you can't get
up?"

"WHAT?!" This came from all the Digidestined. Izzy looked at Pikamon and
wished he had his old laptop.

Pikamon's lips curled into a sneer as he replied, "Well, at least my
brother went out. Remember, he went to Mega and you didn't."

"That hurts."

Tai then interposed himself between the two Digimon and said, "Okay
break it up you guys!"

Sora came over to Ash, Ranma, Misty and Brock who was watching this with
interest. "Ash, are you alright?" She asked.

"Yeah mom, I'm fine. Is that my...."

Sora nodded. "That's your father, Tai Ketchum. One of the Digidestined,
as I am. The others are Matt, TK and Izzy, and the Digimon are Tsunomon,
Angewoman, Tokomon, Agumon, Biyomon, and Motimon. Come everyone, I'd
like you to meet Biyomon."

"Pleased to meet you!" The bird digimon said, smiling. "So, your Sora
and Tai's son, right?"

"That's right," Ash said. "This is my friends, Tracy, Misty and Brock,
and my cousin Ranma."

"Pleased to meet all of you," Biyomon said, shaking wing to hand. "I'm
glad Sora's alright. Me and Agumon got here just in time."

Tai cleared his throat and said, "This has been a long day. We'd better
head back."

"Where are you going?" Matt asked.

"Indigo Plateau. I believe my son has a tournament to attend."

"That's right!" Brock exclaimed. "The Pokemon League is this week!"

"AAH! And I haven't been training hard enough!" Ash hung his head as a
huge sweatdrop formed on his head. "I'm doomed."

Ranma shook his head. "Ash, I've been training your Pokemon. They know
new attacks since I discovered that Chi energy is used by Pokemon."

"Really?!" Ash hugged his cousin who looked embarrassed. "That's great!
Thank you Ranma!"

"Okay, okay, lets all get going." Turning to the cowering camera crew,
Tai smiled and shrugged. "Sorry about the mess."

"Aw, we've been meaning to upgrade," a tech said.

"Okay, humans in my car, the rest of the humans and Digimon in Tai's
van." With that, they streamed out the doors and jumped in.

"Shotgun!" TK shouted and all the Digimon ducked.

"WHERE?!" Agumon cried, frightened.

TK stopped and laughed. "It's a figure of speech Agumon. It means I get
front seat."

"Oh, well then, SHOTGUN!"

"No fair, I wanted it!" Gabumon said, the two degenerating into a bit of
bickering.

<><><>

"Ash! Wake up Ash!" Ash still snored as Pikamon shook him. "Oh well...
Digger VOLT!"

"YEAAAAAAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!" Ash leapt up from his bed, singed.
"What's going on?"

The mouse Digimon placed his hands on his hips as he said, "Come on!
Breakfast is ready and the Competition sign up is this morning!"

"WHAAA! I'm up, I'm up!"

<><><>

"Mmm, good breakfast, mom, Brock."

Ranma picked his teeth happily. "That's as good as Kasumi's stuff."

"Who's Kasumi?" Tracy asked, still finishing his food.

"She's one of Akane's sisters, and she cooks really good!"

"Is food all you ever think about?" Misty asked, feeding Togepi. "You're
like a Sayijin!"

"Well yeah, foods good. There's also fighting and sleeping." Misty fell
over.

"Yup, definitely a Sayijin." Brock commented as he finished his own
breakfast.

Ash finished his food and then stood up. "Today, I'm going to become a
Pokemon Master!"

"Ash, you can't become a Pokemon Master in one Tournament!" Misty said.

A knock at the door forestalled the impending argument as Tai let in
Bruno and Agatha, and Professor Oak. "So Ash, you ready for the big
day?" Bruno boomed heartily. Yup, definitely a morning person.

"Yeah I am Master Bruno!" he said, standing. "I got all Eight Badges,
two from Pokemon Masters!" He opened his jacket, revealing the badges he
got from the various Gyms and the two Masters, Nadoka and Cologne.

Agatha leaned in and studied the new badges. "Why, I do believe that
Cologne is still alive by judging by her badge there, am I correct?"

"The old bat's still kicking," Ranma grumbled.

"Don't mock my sister Amazon," Agatha replied sharply. "At her age,
she's just getting into her prime."

"That must have taken a long time to ripen," Brock commented and was
floored by Misty.

<><><>

Outside, Ash's Pokemon were all warming up. And conversing.  Lets listen
in on their conversation.

"So, youse think we're ready for the competition Pikamon?" Meowth asked,
sharpening his nails on a file.

"Yeah, I think so."

Squirtle dodged a Vine Whip and retaliated with a series of punches and
kicks that sent Bulbasaur backwards a few paces. "Ha! I gotcha!" he
crowed.

"Not even close," Bulbasaur said with a derisive jeer. "Catch me if you
can tiny!"

"I'll show you how the hood fights! Yaaah!"

"Break it up you guys," Charizard said, leaning on his side. "If you
can't fight together, then how'll you beat the League?"

"We don't see YOU fighting for Ash," Squirtle snapped. "Why don't you?"

Charizard yawned. "I've got other things to think about."

"Yeah, like feeding your fat face, Snorlax-butt," Bulbasaur insulted.
Charizard didn't take offence as he just lay down and slept.

"There goes one lazy Pokemon. Ash should have never let Charmander
Evolve," Squirtle snorted. "Hey Krabby! C'mere!"

"You rang?" he said, lurching over.

"Yeah, get Bulbasaur for me.We need to be in top shape for the League.
Remember what Ranma taught us and we'll be fine."

"Right. Prepare to get kapaowied!"

Squirtle walked over to where Arbok and Lickatung were practicing. "You
two ready?"

"Yeah, we're ready," Arbok replied, spitting Poison Sting at Lickatung
who dodged.

"I'm hungry," Lickatung whined.

"You're ALWAYS hungry," Squirtle countered. "And its a full house in
there, with six Digidestined, six kids and six Digimon, we're all
getting cramped."

"Say, Pikamon's a Digimon. Is he allowed to fight?" Arbok asked.

Squirtle shrugged. "Charles Goodwill has been informed about the whole
situation. Coupled with that newscast we watched last night, I'd say
that he should be allowed to fight."

WHAP! "Gotcha!" Lickatung crowed as Arbok sank to the ground, a sick
look on his face. "Who's da MAN!"

A short distance away in the back yard, Pidgiotto and Muk were warming
up for their techniques. Muk turned to Pidgiotto and asked, "How're you
doing man?"

"Ah, my back's acting up again," Pidgiotto said. "But I'm fine. Just
slept wrong. You?"

"Just peachy. Hey, check this out." He turned to a tree and pointed a
hand. It glowed and a ball condensed into it. "BLASTER BEAM!"

A bolt of energy lanced out, destroying the tree. Pidgiotto was
impressed. "Cool. Check this one, TWIN EYE BEAMS!"

The same tree was carved with the name Pidgiotto. "Showoff," Muk
grumbled.

"If you've got it, flaunt it."

Pikamon pursed his lips and cracked his knuckles. "Let see...Katchu
Tenchin Amaguriken!" The board was hit several hundred times and he
stepped back, wincing. "I really don't like doing that."

"Why so?" Meowth went into a Hyperslash attack, shredding the board to
ribbons. "You don't like to hit anything that don't hit back?"

"I don't like hitting ANYTHING! It hurts!"

"HEY LEOMON! WHY DON'T YOU TRY SOMETHING ELSE!" Oganmon jeered. "Maybe a
million jumping jacks?"

Pikamon turned and grinned. "Why not? SHOCK BOMB!"

"Uh oh." Oganmon was blasted into the atmosphere where he crashed to the
ground, in pain. "Cheap shot."

"I try."

<><><>

To say the least, the woman at the front desk was rather surprised when
a trainer came walking along, flanked by several people and strange
looking Pokemon, accompanied by Master Bruno and Master Agatha of the
Elite Four. Regaining her composure, she asked, "May I have your Pokedex
for Registration please?"

"Sure."

She placed the Pokedex into the computer and soon, a item of special
note came up and she looked at it, puzzled. "Who is Pikamon?"

"That would be me," Pikamon said, stepping forwards. "I'm a special
case."

She took in the furry face, jagged tail and asked, "Are you a new breed
of Pikachu?"

At this, many trainers turned and looked at Ash and Co with interest,
including another teen with a Pikachu on his head.

"I'm a Digital Pokemon," he said. "These are my friends from the
Digiworld who are cheering Ash on. The Digimon waved and greeted her.
The woman's eyes widened.

"Oh my...well then, go on ahead. Your first match is today at four. You
have about four hours to prepare."

"Thank you." Ash pocketed the Pokedex and headed out into the pavilion.
As he reached the door, a call came.

"Hey! Wait up!" A teen with brown hair, dressed similar to Ash, with a
backpack and a Pikachu came running up. "Hi, I'm Richie."

"Ash." The pair shook hands.

Suddenly, without warning, a light burst from their contact as energy
spun into the air in a rainbow of colors. A White beam landed in Ash's
hands when he let go of Richie's. A yellow one landed in Richie's, a
brown one in Brock's, a Cerulean blue one in Misty's, a maroon one in
Ranma's, a Green one in Tracy's and a dark purple one in James's hands.
A tremendous rush of power ran through their systems, as energy in their
respective colors blazed for a half second.

When the light faded,. "What happened?" Brock asked. "The rush of power,
it just faded away."

Ash looked at the object in his hands. It was a small device reminiscent
of Sentai morphers. A strap accompanied it. A screen decorated one end
and a sun symbol decorated the end. "Some kind of device."

"A Digivice," Biyomon said, perched on Misty's shoulders. "It will allow
someone to Digivolve. But you don't have any Digimon of your own!"

"Brock, yours is the Crest of Friendship," Matt said, recognizing the
Crest on his dark Brown Digivice.

"Ranma's is the Crest of Reliability," Izzy added.

"The Crest of Knowledge is yours Tracy," Tai informed the teen who gazed
at his Device in wonderment.

"Crest of Sincerity," Sora said to Richie.

"Crest of Hope," Patamon said, perching on James' head.

"What's mine?" Misty asked.

"Your's is special," Sora said, laying a hand on her shoulder. "Yours is
the Crest of Love."

"And mine mom?" Ash asked.

Tai looked at it and smiled. "The Crest of Courage."

"But why just these Crests?" Izzy asked the air. "What about the Crest
of Light? Why hasn't it been given to someone?"

"The circle is not complete," Kari intoned, her eyes blank of normal
look. "Eight Destined against Eight Dark Masters."

"Kari?" Sora asked of the brown haired woman.

"She's in one of her psychic trances," TK said, laying a hand on his
sister's shoulder.

"In order to gain your full powers, you must find the Eighth Master.
Here, standing within your group are Seven of the Masters: Digital,
Rock, Water, Psychic, Lightning, Fighting and Grass. Courage,
Friendship, Love, Hope, Sincerity, Reliability and Knowledge. You need
Fire and the Crest of Light to complete the circle. Then, only then,
will you be able to defeat the Dark Masters." Kari then shuddered and
slumped into TK's arms.

"She'll be alright," Tai said after inspecting his sister. "What's
important that we get you ready for the League Competition this
afternoon Son!"

"Yeah! You're right! Pokemon League, get ready for Ash Ketchum!"

"YOU MEAN LOSER KETCHUM!" Sneered a voice. Ash toppled over in shock as
Gary grinned, his cheerleading squad behind him. "So Ash, you're
actually attempting to battle in the Pokemon League? Better start bowing
to your betters!"

"I'm better than you Gary!" Ash shouted. "I'm doing just fine!"

"Well then, we'll see when we fight, won't we Ash?" Gary smirked. "And
that little lightshow won't help anything! So what if you guys got
sentai stuff from out of nowhere! It won't help you become a Pokemon
Master ASH! HAHAHA!" With that and amidst "Gary, Gary, He's our man!",
the grandson of Professor Oak walked away.

"I'll show that Gary!" Ash vowed. "Lets start training right away!"

"Definitely a holder of the Crest of Courage," Tai commented as his son
stomped towards the pavilion.

<><><>

"ME!"

"NO, ME!"

"I'M DOING IT!"

"SEZ YOU!"

"SEZ ME!"

"QUIET BOTH OF YOU!" The two bickering Digimon looked up, sheepishly.
Devimon leveled glares at the two former Dark Masters and said, "This is
no time to be arguing! The circle is almost complete! We need to stop
those kids before the Disc arrives!"

"Then what?" Asked Metalseadramon. "It's not like those kids have
Digimon, right?"

"You would be surprised. Myotismon just returned, thrashed by the
Digidestined's Digimon. Already, Patamon, Biyomon, Agumon, Tentomon,
Gabumon and Gatomon have already crossed through the gates. We need to
complete our circle, once and for all, before the new Destined are at
full power!"

"You got a plan?" Puppetmon asked of the fallen angel.

"Indeed I have Puppetmon. We will attack again, tonight, at 4:00 PM. We
will draw out the Digidestined and thier Digimon. My sources have told
me that their Digivices are running low on power, and can't hold the
Ultimate forms, much less than their accursed Mega forms."

"Great! Where's Oganmon?"

"Three of the Digidestined have given him back his free will. I will
have him back to be reprogrammed."

"So, who're you sending?" Puppetmon asked, polishing his hammer.

"I will be sending a squadron of Bakamon and Phantomon. Metalseadramon,
Puppetmon, you two are in charge."

"Alright! Time to get back at those kids!" Puppetmon enthused. "It'll be
fun!"

"Be careful though," Devimon cautioned, "they have grown stronger. And
no telling when the other Digidestined, Yolei, Cody and Davis will show
up."

"Gotcha boss." With that, Metalseadramon tunneled into the water system
below their mountain base and Puppetmon dashed out the front door.

Devimon turned and chuckled. "Only a matter of time..."

<><><>

"The Red Trainer, Eric Carter is down to one Pokemon, and the Green
Trainer, Ash Ketchum is down by one. Lets see if this is the
tiebreaker!"

"I choose you, Wartortle!"

The Pokeball split open and the turtle Pokemon appeared with a flash of
white light. "Wartortle!"

"I choose you, Lickatung!"

"Licky!"

"Ash is using Lickatung?"

Across the way, a trio of kids shouted out, jeering their pudgy friend.
"Come on fatboy! You can beat 'em!" shouted one.

"I am NOT FAT!" Eric screamed back. "Wartortle, Ice Beam now!"

"Lickatung, Hyperbeam!"

Lickatung danced to the side, avoiding the icy beam of energy. Then with
a blaze of energy, Lickatung spat forth an immense Hyperbeam from his
mouth. It blasted forth, slamming the poor Wartortle into the stands.
The referee checked the Wartortle and raised his Green Flag. "Wartortle
is unable to battle, the victor is Lickatung and Ash the Green Trainer!"

Cheers rang out from the assembled people as Izzy commented, "He's
really good."

"Ash's been training for a long time, he should be good."

The sign on the stadium flashed and displayed Ash's picture. Which
suddenly, shorted out. Then, the screams started as a hauntingly
familiar voice rang out. "Whoooooo! Get them Bakamon!"

"Oh no! It's Phantomon!" Tentomon exclaimed. "He's a Phantom Digimon
with an attack called Shadow Scythe that can cut through anything!"

"Quick you guys, Digivolve!" Tai ordered.

"Right! Biyomon Digivolve to....oh heck..."

"Tentomon Digivolve to....aw man!"

"Gabumon Warp Digivolve to....oh no!"

"Patamon Digivolve to....oh forget it!"

"Gatomon Digivolve to...oh no!"

"Agumon Warp Digivolve to...uh oh!"

The Digidestined turned on their partners as Tai asked, "Let me guess,
you can't Digivolve?"

"We can't do it Tai! The Digivices are out of power! We can't share
energy for some reason!"

"This is getting old," Izzy said with a dreary look on his face. "First
the Black Digivice, now this. Patamon, Gatomon, can you two Armor
Digivolve?"

"No go, we tried it already!" TK said. "DigiArmor Energize!" Nothing
happened.

"DigiArmor Energize!" Kari sniffed. "It's no use!"

"SHADOW SCYTHE!"

Their talk was suddenly interrupted by Phantomon's attack which cleaved
a stand in two. Agumon turned and spat a ball of flame. "Pepper Breath!"

"Boom Bubble Pop!"

"Blue Blaster!"

"Super Shocker!"

"Lightning Paw!"

"Spiral Twister!"

Ash and his friends, who had clustred together, were currently fending
off Bakamon Champions with their bare hands. Actually, they were
throwing Pokeballs at them, knocking the Ghost Digimon off balance.
Ranma ripped through them, throwing Chi blasts everywhere. As the fight
raged on, Misty found herself back to back with Ash who punched a
Bakamon into the stands. "Ash, can't you transform?"

"I'm trying Misty," he shot back, "But it's hard! HAND OF FATE!" Bakamon
exploded into digibits as he fell back behind Misty. "I can still attack
though!"

"ASH!"

Ash whirled and saw Sora and Tai being dragged down by Bakamon, the evil
Phantomon hovering over them, Scythe bared. "MOM! DAD!"

"MWAHAHAHA!" Metalseadramon rose from the ground and sniggered. "Ready
to die Digitwerps?"

"It'll be a blast! Hey TK!" Puppetmon waved from his seat on the stands.

"It's Puppetmon and Metalseadramon! Them too?" TK shouted, shocked.

"That's right, and it's time to DIE! PUPPET PUMMEL!" The hammer rose
upwards, yellow energy bolts flying towards the adults, throwing them
aside with rocking explosions.

"They're in trouble!" Ash clenched his fist as he drew out his Digivice
and strapped it on his wrist. The band clicked together, with a finality
shown in the echoing click of the mechanical band. "Misty! Brock! Ranma!
James! Tracy! Richie! Lets do it!"

"Do what?" Brock asked, wrestling with a Bakamon.

"Digitize!"

"Digitize?" Ranma fired a Chi beam that enveloped a row of Bakamon,
sending them spinning into the sky. "How do we do that?"

Ash blasted several Bakamon with the Hand of Fate and clenched his hand.
"Follow my lead! Digiteam, Digitize!" Ash brought his wrists together
and pressed the safety lock which snapped open the device panel. A beam
of energy lanced upwards and the Crest of Courage spun into the air, as
Ash was engulfed in silver light.

Everyone exchanged glances and in unison activated their Devices with a
cry of "Digiteam Digitize!" Beams of Blue, Brown, Maroon, Green, Purple
and Yellow shot upwards from their Digivices as their Crests lanced
upwards from the Devices, shrouding them in light as well.

All the combatants, both Human and Digimon stopped short as the team
blazed with light. A blast of power uplifted them for a half second as
the transformation assumed its form. Each one of them was clad in
similar armor with varying weapons.

Gone was the strange Angemon look for Ash, replaced with gleaming silver
armor. With large shoulder guards, breastplate, shin guards and boots,
complimented with armored bracers, he held a shimmering golden staff
that he bore once as Angemon, this time with glowing blades on the ends.
The Crest of Courage adorned his chest plate in a dark red.

Misty was in a sleeker, more feminine style, smaller guards but she held
a graceful long sabre which sparkled with water. A thin diaphanous cape
was an addition to her Cerulean Blue armor. The Crest of Love was on her
chest as well, shimmering silver.

Brock's was more solid looking, all brown with the same setup for armor.
Complimenting this was a massive hammer made of Chrome Digizoid. From
his forehead, rose a long Chrome Digizoid spike that was reminiscent of
Flamedramon's head armor. He had the Crest of Friendship on his chest.
It was a glowing green.

Ranma's hands glowed as his hands were covered with glowing gloves. Twin
spikes shot from the back of his gloves as he was heavily armored in
maroon armor His armor was tight to the body, restricting no movement
whatsoever. The Crest of Reliability was on his chest, glowing a bright
yellow.

Tracy wore a green set of armor and he brandished a long broadsword that
looked organic in nature. He wore a headband to go with his armor. His
armor was trimmed with gold as the Crest of Knowledge on his chest, also
in gold.

James was a dark purple, sleek with small shoulder guards. In his hands,
he held twin sai's which gleamed with Psychic energy. He was the night,
deadly and powerful. The Crest of Hope was the only thing white on him,
standing out from the dark purple armor.

And finally, Richie in the gleaming gold and yellow armor, holding a
long katana which crackled with electrical energy. Wide shoulder guards
with yellow gemstones trimmed his shoulders and boots, and the Crest of
Sincerity glowed on his chest plate, glowing dark blue.

Puppetmon scratched his head in confusion. "Devimon didn't tell us about
them!"

"Who cares! Waste 'em! RIVER OF POWER!"

"PUPPET PUMMEL!"

James looked up and held up a hand to his forehead. "Psychic Shield." He
intoned. A shimmering purple shield flickered into existence around the
group as the attacks struck the shield.

Puppetmon frowned, eyes narrowing. "Drat, a Shield."

"I'll go help your parents Ash!" Pikamon said, leaping away from the
protective shield.

"Right! Everyone attack!" Ash raised his staff and it glowed a bright
orange color.

Brock raised his hammer and slammed it on the ground. "VULCAN'S HAMMER!"
Energy blazed around the impact point and an arrowhead shaped energy
blast lanced out.

"PSYCHE OUT!" James placed both his hands on his forehead, and a blaze
of psychic energy lanced forwards through the shield, turning into a
twister.

"LIGHTNING BARRAGE!" Richie brandished his katana as yellow energy spun
around his body. Then, he swiped in an X-pattern, and made a final cut
across the width of the attack which crackled with lightning. Then, with
one more final swipe, he sent the attack barreling towards the attacking
Digimon.

"ICE LANCE!" Misty clasped her hands and blue energy shone from between
her hands. Then, spinning in a three sixty rotation, she unclasped one
hand and swept it towards the Dark Masters hovering in the air. An icy
lance shot forwards with a crackle of blue energy.

"AERO BLASTER!" Around Tracy, a whirling wind of grass and leaves were
pulled up as he bent towards the ground and brought up his hands,
clasping one on his wrist. Then, he pushed forwards, sending a hurricane
force of leaves and grass into the air.

"CHI TORNADO!" Ranma charged his fist and leapt into the air, twisting
like a corkscrew, hand burning with Chi forged flames. The air spun into
a tornado and a blazing Chi Tornado formed as he sent the attack
spinning into the air.

"And for the finisher! COURAGE FORCE!" Ash raised his glowing staff as a
massive ball of energy formed and he thrust the weapon forwards. It
ripped from his staff, sending a backblast of tremendous wind.

Megaseadramon and Puppetmon were engulphed in a tremendous dust cloud
which obscured them from view. But in the midst of it, Puppetmon's voice
carried out. "Bakamon and Phantomon, retreat! We'll be back!"

When the dust settled, they were gone.

"Finally!" Pikamon sighed. Just then, his body glowed with light as he
shrunk down. "Chu?" Asked the newly restored Pikachu.

"Back to In Training?" Agumon asked of his friend.

"Pika."

"The battle isn't over," Ash said at the dinner table. "We've got a lot
of work to do." After the battle, Izzy, Matt, TK and their Digimon had
retired to their own rented homes, leaving Tai, Sora, Kari, Ash, Misty,
Brock, Ranma, Tracy and James at the house that Bruno had rented for
them. Richie had his own rented place so he was there, resting up for
his own battle the next morning at Nine.

"Since when did protecting the world become something like a Sentai
show?" James asked, eating at a pace to match Ranma.

"Search me," Brock said. "But it feels so good to have these powers! Any
thoughts Mr. Ketchum?"

Tai thought for a second before saying, "Well, we, as the Original
Digidestined, we had Digimon Partners, Digivices, Crests and Tags to
help with the Digivolving Process. The power was shared by everyone when
Digivolving. Nothing like this has happened before. Then, came the new
Digidestined who used a Minicomputer, a Digivice and a Digi Egg to Armor
Digivolve. This one, since you seven don't have any Digimon save for
Pikachu," The newly reverted Pikachu looked up from his supper.

"Pika."

"The powers are routed through your bodies, giving you the armor and
weapons, and new attacks." Tai frowned. "Each one of you has an attack
close to the element that you represent. Ash, you have an attack that is
representative to Terra Force, the attack that War Greymon uses."

"That's right!" Agumon said. "As War Greymon, I used Terra Force to
defeat VenomMyotismon just like Metal Garurumon used Metal Wolf Claw to
help with the defeat."

"What I don't get is why Myotismon didn't go to Mega in the first
place," Sora said. "If he wanted to defeat us so easily, he could have
gone to Mega in the first place."

"You're forgetting that we hurt him rather severely the last time,"
Biyomon put in from her plate of food on the floor. "He had to
recuperate from the injuries. It looked like we destroyed him when he
probably had some way of returning to the Human World."

"So, if that happens, then any of the other Digimon we destroyed would
be here, in the Digital World!"

"We saw Phantomon and a crew of Bakamon," Gatomon said, munching on her
food. "And from what we know, two of the Dark Masters are here,
Metalseadramon and Puppetmon, along with Myotismon. Who's to say that
they brought reinforcements along for the ride from the Digital World?
Oganmon left an hour ago, and there could be more major villians out
there."

"Like Devimon, Etemon, Mechadramon and Piedmon. The major threats to the
Digital World." Tai frowned in thought. "You're right, the battle has
just begun here in the Human World."

"We'll be ready for it," Tracy said. "This'll be the biggest battle in
history!"

Suddenly, the door slammed open as everyone jumped to their feet. Then,
tottering into the room, a figure in blue leaned on the door way and
gasped out, "Devimon....finding the Black Disc....must... warn...."
then, he collapsed to the cries of Gatomon and Kari.

"Wizardmon!"

Closing Credits and Theme: The Time Has Come

I close my eyes
And I can see
The day we met
(A scene of Ash picking up a Pokeball and Pikachu escaping from its
inside. He picks up Pikachu and he zaps him.)

Just one moment and I knew
You're my best friend
'Do anything
For you
(A scene of Ash meeting Misty, Brock throwing a pokeball, and Ash
looking upwards, the camera panning backwards, into the
sky.)

We've gone so far
And done so much
And I feel
Like we've always been together
(Scenes of Ash running along a beach, Misty, Brock and Pikachu trailing
along in the setting sunlight. A still photo of Ranma sitting atop a
cliff, that fades from brown and white tones to a full color picture,
his pigtail swinging in the wind. A constellation draws itself out on
the sky, Sagittarius the Archer. A shooting star arcs across the sky.)

Right by my side
Through thick and thin
You're the part of my life
I'll always remember
(A shot of Pikachu waving to the sky, his eyes glistening with tears,
Pidgeotto carrying Ryoga away. A shot of Ash's shadowed face, a stream
of tears dripping from his eyes. Ranma gathering Akane in his arms,
Ukyou wrapping a consolidating arm about Brock's shoulder. Ash sitting
down in the grass, Misty leaning on his shoulder, his jacket wrapped
about her shoulders.)

The time has come,
It's for the best I know it
Who could have guessed that you and I...
(Ash's face, haloed in a corona of light, Misty holding onto his
fingertips. He smiles at her, as the light brightens to a blinding view
and she collapses on the ground, sobbing.)

Somehow, someday,
We'd have to say goodbye
Somehow today...
...we have to say goodbye.
(Fade out.)

(A Magic Tech Production, A Shaun Garin Story.)
