Chapter 7:
The next day, the Digidestind were walking to school while Davis and Rei use Grani to fly them there quickly. The school period went at a slow and uneventful pace as the couple flirt with each other whenever there was not a teacher around to disturb their fun. The lunch bell soon rang and everyone went to the cafeteria.
The second generation of Digidestind was going to their usual table with their food in hand but they were surprise to see Davis and Rei sitting there, flirting with each other as usual. "What are they doing there?" Yolie asks, as they walk up to the table.
"Hey can we sit here?" TK asks, hoping that Davis had forgiven them.
"Normally I would say no" the goggle boy started, wrapping an arm over Rei's shoulders. "But there something that I need to tell you" he finished as the expression on his face turned from happy and cheery to deadly serious.
"What do you mean? What do you want to tell us?" Ken asks as the group sits down at the table.
"It's about what happened yesterday" Rei stated. "The Arkadimons came from a larger source that, as far as we know is coming from an area that is outside both the Digital World and the Real World. Its power is incredibly high and Yamaki has ordered us to request for your assistance" she explained.
"And what makes you think that we'll help you?" TK said, not wanting to make it look like that the Digidestind desperately want Davis to come back to the team, even though they do.
"Hey, we said that Yamaki's orders were the reason we're sitting at this table right now. If it were up to us, we'd left the moment we saw your faces" the goggle boy said coldly.
"Fine, we'll help you with the signal since this city is under our protection" the blond said, still trying to keep the tough guy persona.
"Okay, come at my house after school and we'll tell you everything we know about the problem" Davis said before going back to eating his lunch. They went class and soon the final bell rang. When they got out into the schoolyard, Davis and Rei met up with Guilmon and Veemon, who was sitting on top of the red saurian. They waited for Grani to arrive and bring them to the Motomiya apartment.
During their wait the Digidestind, both older and younger generation walks up to the foursome. "So you guys wanted our help?" Tai asks.
"Yeah, we were ordered by Yamaki to ask you guys" Davis said.
"Don't worry; we'll help you guys as much as we can".
"That's good to hear" the goggle boy said as Grani lands down onto the schoolyard. "Our rides here, so see you guys back at my house" he said as he, Rei and his two digimon partners climbed onto the mechanical dragon.
"Wait, we don't get to ride with you?" Matt asks while Grani slowly gets off the ground and flies to a designated location. "A no, then?" the blond sighed as the group leaves Odaiba Elementary and heads to the Motomiya apartment. A moment later, they arrive outside the apartment building but it had several black vans parked outside.
The Digidestind walked up the stairs to the apartment and saw two men wearing suits standing in front of the door. The group walks up to the apartment door but was stopped by the agents. "Hey what gives? We were asked to come and help" Tai said.
"You heard the mooks, gentlemen. Move aside, these guys were called here by Yamaki" said a voice behind the group. They turn around to see Impmon walking to the apartment with his twin tamers.
"Yes sir" the men said before opening the door and letting the group inside.
"Thanks for helping us get in Impmon" Tai said as they take off their shoes.
"Actually, I couldn't care less about you schmuck after what you guys did to Takato being one of his friends and all. But I work for Hypnos and I have to do whatever Yamaki tells me to do" the imp digimon huffed before walking to the living room with his partners.
"Man, do all the Tamers hate us?" the brunet sighed as they too went to the living room. When the group got there, they saw several server banks connected to various types of equipment and the tech savvy Tamers were busy either typing on their laptops or passing research results to one another.
"Izzy would fit right at home with these guys" Matt commented, noticing how the said red head was admiring the new technology around him.
Suddenly the smell of freshly baked bread filled the air, which made the Digidestind turns towards the kitchen. "Breads ready everyone! Get them while their still fresh!" Davis said as he, Guilmon and Rei walks out of the kitchen with trays of bread in hand.
The Tamers stopped what they were going and walk to the dining table to have some food. "Davis, we didn't know you could bake?" Ken said as he takes a loaf of bread.
"I learned it from working with my parents at our family bakery, the Matsuki Bakery" Davis said as he takes off his apron.
"Man, this bread is delicious" Tai said, eating several loafs of bread.
"Well thank you, it's my family's specialty called Guilmon bread. It's shaped after Guilmon".
"Now that everyone has eaten, we should get back to work" Yamaki said, flicking his lighter like usual. The Tamers nodded their heads and went back to researching the signal.
"Hey, is there a place I can set up my laptop?" Izzy asks as he takes out his yellow laptop from his bag.
"Anywhere as long as you're in the living room, that way we can run ideas and results with you at a real time basis" Henry said as he types on his laptop.
Nodding his head, the red head sets his laptop on the coffee table and gets to work.
Meanwhile at the rest of the apartment, the Digidestind were trying to get to know the Tamers and were surprise that most of the team members at first hated each other but were now the best of friends. They even more shocked when they learned about what Impmon did before he joined the Tamers and how Davis reacted to it.
"So he literally turned Guilmon into a monster? Man, that even worse than when I turned Agumon in an uncontrollable SkullGreymon" Tai sighed from his conversation with Ryo.
"That's what I heard from the other Tamers. I never really seen Megidramon up in person but I could feel the destructive energy that came from him and I was at the Northern Plateau at the time" the Legendary Tamer explained.
"His power makes Millenniummon sound weak. I'm amaze he could keep it all contained" Tai said, staring at his protégé and Rei as they watch Guilmon and Veemon play together.
"Yeah a real miracle" Ryo mused.
"Guys, we manage to find something!" Izzy called out from the living room. Everyone enters the room and gathers around the techies.
"What did you found?" Yamaki asks.
"We have managed to pinpoint the location of the signal" Datamon said as he projects a holographic map for everyone to see.
"It's at the harbor were we fought Armageddamon" Izzy said pointing at the water just a distance away from the harbor.
"Why would it be there?" Tai asks.
"We don't know yet, but the energy that is coming from the signal has reached a dangerous level. We need to get there now" Riley said, showing the energy readings onto the holographic map.
The Tamers and Digidestind nodded their heads and quickly left the apartment. Once outside the apartment building, they digivolved their digimons and mounted them while Davis, Rei and his partners ride Grani to the harbor. A moment later, they all arrive at the Odaiba Harbor just in time to see a tear appear in the sky.
"What is that?" Kazu asks no one in particular as he gets off his partner.
Suddenly a loud roar filled the air and a giant insect like creature comes out of the tear. "I can't believe it. It's Armagaddamon, but how? He was sealed away into the Omni Sword" Ken gasps.
"Juggernaut" said a voice. Everyone turned their attention towards the source, which was Rei. "It's the Juggernaut program. I used it to come back to the Human World. I guess Armagaddamon found a way to use it too" she explained.
"If Armagaddamon had used that to come back, then we can't seal him away again. We have to delete him in order to protect the Human World" Tai said.
"But how, Tai? Last time we fought him, he beat our most powerful digimons like they were nothing" Kari said.
"Maybe you guys need more powerful digimons on your side. Right, guys?" Davis called out to his fellow Tamers.
"Let's take this over size bug down" Rika smirked as she takes out her D-Power.
The goggle boy takes out his D-Terminal and choices the Digiegg of Miracles before raising his D-3 into the air and said "Golden Digi-armor Energize!".
"Veemon golden armor digivolves to… Magnamon!"
"Magnamon hazard digivolves to… HazardMagnamon!"
"BIOMERGE ACTIVATE!" called out Davis, Henry, Rika and Ryo.
"Guilmon biomerge to… Gallantmon!"
"Terriermon biomerge to… MegaGargomon!"
"Renamon biomerge to… Sakuyamon!"
"Cyberdramon biomerge to… Justimon!"
"Just like old times huh guys?" Gallantmon mused in Davis' voice.
"Uh huh, now let's finish this guy" MegaGargomon said as he flies into the battlefield.
Armagaddamon fired waves of energy at the megas charging at it but they manage to dodge all of them. MegaGargomon fires his Gargo Missiles at its face both hitting their target, causing to back away a bit. Gallantmon took this as an opening and used his Shield of the Just on one its legs knocking it off balance.
Justimon jumps onto Armagaddamon's back and hit it with Thunderclap, preventing the powerful mega getting up right away. Sakuyamon then flies in front of it and attack it with her Amethyst Wind before HazardMagnamon came unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks all over its body.
"No way, their actually hurting Armagaddamon" Izzy gasps. He, the other Tamers and Digidestind and their digimons were watching the fight from the harbor.
The mega roared in anger as he stands back up and fires shells of energy out of its back into the sky. The biomerged megas and HazardMagnamon got into a safe distance away from Armagaddamon, preparing for the worst. Suddenly a beam of energy falls from the sky and hits MegaGargomon on the shoulder, forcing him onto his knees. Soon more beams began falling from the sky in the form of rain.
Gallantmon quickly raised his shield over his head to avoid getting hit while Sakuyamon created a barrier around her and Justimon and HazardMagnamon was fazing in and out to avoid the barrage. Some of the beams were raining down on the civilians that were watching the battle, so MegaGargomon used the last of his energy to fire his Mega Barrage to intercept them before they hit the ground.
A few beams manage to avoid the volley of attacks and were heading towards the Tamers and Digidestind but several pink cables destroy them before any damage was done.
"That was close! Who saved us?" Tai asks as they followed the cables to their source, which was Rei. The pink cables were coming out from her back.
"Don't worry; I'll stop the beams from hitting us. Tell your digimons to stop any beams from hitting innocent people" the brunet said as she continues to intercept the attacks.
"You heard the lady! Go protect the civilians!" Yamaki ordered. The digimons fired their attacks from the safe zone while the local police try to get everyone out of the harbor as quickly as possible.
Eventually the barrage of beams stops but all the digimon except Armagaddamon were exhausted. Before any of them could relax, the mega began firing energy waves out of its jaws again. They try to dodge the attack but MegaGargomon and Justimon got hit and reverted back to their original forms.
"This is bad guys, Armagaddamon is only slightly injured and we're already down two megas. What are we going to do?" Sakuyamon asks flying beside Gallantmon and HazardMagnamon.
"Sakuyamon, get Henry, Ryo and their digimons to the others. HazardMagnamon and I will fight Armagaddamon" the Royal Knight said.
The shaman woman nodded her head and left to bring her friends to safety.
"Are you sure we can take this guy Davis?" HazardMagnamon asks with his fists raised.
"I have no idea Vee, but our friends depend on us and we don't ever let them down" Gallantmon said in Davis' voice.
The duo charge at Armagaddamon and punched it on the face with enough force to push it back a few feet. Furious, the mega fired his Destiny Destroyer again. Gallantmon and HazardMagnamon dodge the attack but it ended up hitting the harbor where the Tamers and the Digidestind were.
"Guys, no!" Davis called out from inside his Tamer Sphere. Gallantmon and HazardMagnamon jump to the destroyed harbor side and saw that all their friends were alive but heavily injured.
"Damn you Armagaddamon! I will destroy you!" the Royal Knight cursed as he began to be surrounded by an aura of crimson data.
"Oh no, Takato is going to digivolve again" Henry said as he slowly stands up.
"Isn't him digivolving a good thing?" Ken asks as he helps Yolie to her feet.
"Not when Gogglehead is glowing crimson" Rika said, holding onto her partner for support.
Suddenly the aura engulfs Gallantmon and the faded silhouettes of a crimson dragon and a dark version of the Royal Knight appears over his body for a moment before disappearing into the cocoon of data.
"Gallantmon dark hazard digivolves to… MillenniumGallantmon!"
The crimson cocoon disappears and now standing in front of everyone was knight that looked like Gallantmon but instead of Guilmon head being on his helmet, it was now Megidramon's head. His normally white armor was now black as midnight and he had a big symbol of Hazard on his chest that was deep crimson in color. The knight's shoulder guards became dark blue and had the symbol of Hazard on them. Finally his once regal and red cape had become dark blue and tattered.
MillenniumGallantmon brought fear and terror to anyone who was daring enough to look at him. "W-What did Davis just digivolve into?" Tai stuttered feeling the darkness coming out of him.
"MillenniumGallantmon, Mega level, Virus-type, he is the true form the Digital Hazard and it's said that his very presence alone could destroy any digimon who dares come near him. His attacks are Armageddon Dragon and Chaos Destroyer" Izzy said from his Digimon Analyzer.
The Fallen Knight summons an axe that was made of black flames and slowly walks to Armagaddamon, who was trying to stand its ground. The mega fired his Destiny Destroyer at him but MillenniumGallantmon simply swats away the waves of energy with his free hand like the attacks was nothing.
"I-I can't believe it! Armagaddamon's attacks did nothing to him!" Tai gasps with widen eyes as the group watch the mega fire energy blasts into the sky. Soon beams rain down the Fallen Knight but they just bounce off his armor, not leaving a scratch.
"Chaos Destroyer!" MillenniumGallantmon called out in dark voice as he swings his flame axe towards the sky, unleashing a wave of dark flames that destroys all the beams.
Armagaddamon slowly back away as the Fallen Knight continues to walk to it. Then he stopped and raised his axe above his head. "Armageddon Dragon!" MillenniumGallantmon called out, bringing down his axe and summoning a giant dragon made of black flames that deleted the mega in seconds.
"My god, he defeated Armagaddamon so easily!" Sora cried cowering behind Tai as the Fallen Knight walks back to the destroyed harbor.
MillenniumGallantmon was now standing in front of the Tamers and the Digidestind and was observing them through his crimson eyes. The group were staring at him with terror in their eyes as their still injured digimon stands protectively in front of them while HazardMagnamon lands next to Rei, both looking at him with worry.
'Why is everyone looking at me like that?' Davis asks inside his crimson Tamer Sphere. He raised his left digimon hand in front of his face and he realizes why they were scared of him. 'Oh… I understand now' the brunet sighed.
"You were wrong sister" MillenniumGallantmon started as he turns towards Rei. "I am a monster that does nothing but destroy" he finished, turning around and walking away from the group.
"Brother, wait! Please don't go!" Rei called out as she runs to the edge of the harbor with tears in her eyes.
"Takato, you're not a monster! You're our friend!" Henry called out.
MillenniumGallantmon stopped walking and looked over his shoulder before saying "If you were my friends, why were you all afraid of me?". Nobody said anything, knowing that they did not have answer. "I knew it" the Fallen Knight said as he continues to walk away but was stopped when he felt a hand land on his shoulder. He turns around to see that the hand belongs to HazardMagnamon.
"I'm not afraid of you Davis. Your my partner and my best friend, I wouldn't have any other way" the dragon said.
"T-That's means a lot Vee. T-Thank you" Davis cried inside his Tamer Sphere with a smile on his face. The duo walk back to the harbor and de-digivolves back to their original forms.
"Brother, you came back!" Rei cheered, tackling the goggle boy into a hug.
"Yeah. Vee, reminded me that there were people here that need me here" Davis smiled as he kisses her on the lips.
Their kiss was interrupted when they hear someone coughing and turns to see the Tamers and the Digidestind staring at them with an expectant look on their faces.
"Ah… Takato, we're sorry we were scared of you. We're your friends, we shouldn't be afraid of you" Henry said.
"Don't worry about it. I was scared of Guilmon when he first digivolved remember?" Davis mused, wrapping his arm around Rei while patting Guilmon's head as Veemon sits on his head.
"That's true" the Chinese boy, chuckling at the memory.
"Uh, Davis…?" trailed off a voice. The goggle boy turns towards the source, which was Ken.
"Yeah Ken?" the brunet asks, looking at his DNA partner curiously.
"We wanted to say that we're really sorry for talking behind your back and we were hoping that we can be friends again" the genius said, looking down.
"I accept your apology, but the friends' part you'll have to work your way there" Davis said with a smile.
"That's great! How about we celebrate at the pizza parlor here in Odaiba?" Tai cheered, happy that everything was back to normal.
"As long as Yamaki's paying!" Davis cheered, shocking the Hypnos Director.
"Why not? We did do this together" Yamaki sighed with a smile on his face as they get into the Hypnos vans to go celebrate.
