Good Against Corrupt

EmperorGreymon roared out mindlessly as he fought against the female Digidestined and the Legendary Warriors.
While Hououmon, Silphymon, Zephyrmon and MagnaGarurumon were battling in the skies Rosemon, MetalKabuterimon, JagerLoweemon and Korikakumon were fighting EmperorGreymon on land.
"Static Force!" Silphymon exclaimed, firing a red colored energy ball at EmperorGreymon.
"Crimson Flame!" Hououmon then called out as she launched four fireballs from the tips of her wings right at EmperorGreymon. However, he countered the attack as he brought out his Ryugonken sword and sliced the attacks in half, causing them to traverse past him and blow up behind him. 
"Guys, this isn't working. We need to come up with a plan." Zephyrmon called out.
"I have an idea." MagnaGarurumon called out in reply, before saying as he charged at EmperorGreymon. "Just follow my lead."
"Starburst Hunter!" MagnaGarurumon exclaimed as he surrounded his body in an aura of light and slammed into EmperorGreymon.
MagnaGarurumon's power forced EmperorGreymon back. EmperorGreymon pressed his feet down into the ground and managed to stop MagnaGarurumon in his tracks after being pushed back several feet.
Seeing MagnaGarurmon grasping his waist and vulnerable to attacks, EmperorGreymon prepared to strike down his former friend only for MagnaGarurumon to strike back, as he brought his left arm up and grabbed EmperorGreymon's wrists, preventing him from striking.
"I see. Now he can't attack us." Sora said.
"But I don't know how much longer I can hold on." MagnaGarurumon replied, struggling against EmperorGreymon.
"Leave that to me!" Rosemon called out, before she exclaimed. "Thorn Whip!"
With that, she unleashed her vines around EmperorGreymon's arms tightly, preventing him from using his arms properly.
"Frozen Arrowheads!" Korikakumon then called out, wrapping his arrowhead braids around EmperorGreymon's chest and legs, further restricting his movements.
"Now hit him with everything you have!" MagnaGarurumon shouted as he released his hold on EmperorGreymon's wrists and jumped back. The other Digimon nodded in response and prepared their attacks.
"Crimson Flame!"
"Static Force!"
"Magna Rocket!"
"Electron Cannon!"
"Dark Master!"
"Hurricane Gale!"
EmperorGreymon was struck dead on, blasted by the combined attacks. Yolei exclaimed joyfully, thinking they had won the battle. "We got him! Perfecto!"
However, their victory was cut short as everyone was shocked to see EmperorGreymon emerge from the explosion, damaged but not defeated.
"No way. We threw everything we had at him!" Mimi stated in shock.
"And then some." Rosemon added, equally shocked they had failed to defeat him.
EmperorGreymon then roared again, only this roar was fueled by anger and pain, which broke Zoe's heart upon seeing Takuya suffering so much against his freewill.
But she didn't have time to worry, as EmperorGreymon roared out and charged at MagnaGarurumon.
"Dragonfire Crossbow!" EmperorGreymon then roared, releasing a fiery blast from his sword that struck MagnaGarurumon, knocking him back with full force before he went for the others and struck them down too until Koichi, J.P, Tommy and Zoe were left standing.
"Pyro Dragons!" EmperorGreymon exclaimed as he plunged his blade into the ground and unleashed trails of fire in the shape of nine dragons which split into three separate shots that consumed JagerLoweemon, MetalKabuterimon and Korikakumon, leaving Zephyrmon alone to fight.
But seeing Takuya in his current state and all her friends injured had weakened her fighting spirit, as she couldn't help but to revert back to her human form.
"I...I'm sorry I failed you, Takuya." Zoe said solemnly, only for a familiar voice to tell her. "You have not failed him yet."
Snapping out of her depression, Zoe pulled out her D-Terminal and asked. "Ophanimon? But how?"
"I could sense the darkness in your heart and wish to tell you not to give into despair. You still have the power within you to save Takuya." Ophanimon replied in an honest and caring tone.
Hearing that, Zoe asked. "I do?"
"Yes, Legendary Warrior. Your strength comes from the bonds you have with your friends and you know that can overcome the evil that now controls Takuya." Ophanimon replied.
Filled with a newfound confidence, Zoe announced. "Ophanimon's right. Takuya has never given up on us and I won't give up on him! I refuse to give up!" 
With that, Zoe was taken back as her D-Tector began to shine brightly, forcing her to close her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them, the Legendary Warrior of Wind found herself floating in a large area of light.
Her Human Spirit was floating on her right side, while her Beast Spirit was on her left; she knew what she had to do now.
Back in the Digital World, everyone witnessing the fight against EmperorGreymon was stunned as they watched Zoe's body become enveloped by light, before the light died down and Zoe was standing proudly, staring at EmperorGreymon with a newfound determination.
"Go, execute! Fusion Evolution!" Zoe exclaimed as a ring of data formed around her left hand. She scanned the data with her D-Tector before the wielder of the Spirits of Wind then fused with her Human and Beast Spirit, creating a female Digimon the same height as Zephyrmon, but now she was adorned in white and amethyst colored armor that covered her chest, hands and legs.
Two large metallic wings had been attached to the back of her chest armor.
Her hair was violet-blue, as a white mask covered her lips and nose.
And to finish her transformation, Zoe's new Digimon form wielded a large white and blue colored pinwheel.
"JetSilphymon!" The newly created Digimon announced, as she made her appearance.
"Amazing. Zoe achieved Fusion Evolution." MetalKabuterimon said in awe as he managed to get back up, a somewhat difficult task before Korikakumon called out. "Way to go, Zoe!"
While the heroes were impressed, all EmperorGreymon saw was another threat he had to destroy.
"Dragonfire Crossbow!" EmperorGreymon roared out, releasing another bolt of fire at JetSilphymon who gracefully dodged his attack, before she countered.
"Ultra Turbulence!" JetSilphymon exclaimed as her pinwheel fired a massive pink colored wind, forcing EmperorGreymon to shield himself as the wind was so strong it left deep cuts in his armor.
"He's on the ropes, guys! Now it's up to you!" JetSilphymon called out as she continued her attack. MagnaGarurumon stepped forward and readied his Strike Phantom rocket launcher.
"Magna Rocket!" MagnaGarurumon shouted as he unleashed dozens of missiles at EmperorGreymon that combined with JetSilphymon's tornado, making their speed double as EmperorGreymon was then bombarded in explosions, creating a massive storm of dust in the process before EmperorGreymon's roars from within turned into cries as the dust faded and revealed he had reverted back to Takuya, collapsed and defeated.
Meanwhile, ShineGreymon was proving to be more of a challenge against the remaining Digidestined and the DATS team.
Even though he had not reached his Burst Mode, the darkness that now controlled him had increased his power.
"Mega Electro Shocker!" HerculesKabuterimon exclaimed as he created a ball of electricity within his four hands and launched it.
"Hydro Impact Crusher!" Plesiomon announced, before he fired a powerful stream of water from his mouth.
"Justice Beam!" Shakkoumon called out, firing red lasers from his eyes.
The combined attacks headed straight for ShineGreymon. However, he roared out in response. "Glorious Burst!"
Unleashing a series of light blasts from his wings, ShineGreymon's blasts struck the oncoming attacks and cancelled them out.
"Shining Blast!" ShineGreymon then yelled, launching forward and slammed into Garudamon, who cried out in pain from the force of the attack and was forced to the ground.
"Garudamon!" Kristy called out in concern for her Digimon partner.
Seeing Kristy upset, knowing she was suffering from seeing her Digimon partner injured and her big brother manipulated like a puppet, Thomas charged over to Marcus, grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and shouted. "Marcus, get a hold of yourself! Can't you see you are being manipulated?"
Marcus didn't reply. Instead he managed to break free from Thomas's grasp and hit his former friend in the stomach, before the pair began to fight, exchanging blow after blow.
While Marcus and Thomas continued to fight, ShineGreymon and MirageGaogamon did too.
"C'mon ShineGreymon, you're stronger than this!" MirageGaogamon yelled, trying to get through to his corrupt comrade. However, it didn't work as ShineGreymon continued to attack, trying to pummel MirageGaogamon.
"What can we do?" Keenan asked, before stating. "He's too powerful."
Rhythm then stepped forward and replied. "I believe I can save them both. Please, lend me your strength."
Yoshi, Kristy and Keenan were a little surprised to hear that, but knowing the potential Digimon had, they turned to their partners who nodded in response.
"I can do more than that." Cyclops declared, before striking ShineGreymon in the leg with a optic blast knocking the corrupt Mega Level Digimon off his feet. ShineGreymon quickly got back onto his feet and continued attacking.
And with that, Rhythm was encircled in a light orange aura as the strength of her friends began to change her.
And after the light faded, Rhythm was now adorned in amber colored armor.
Her pink hair had grown and was now flowing down her back, while her wings had vanished from the back of her head, grown out of her back and expanded in size while a helmet covered her head. Her visor was similar to Gallantmon's, only it looked like Agumon's head.
"Amazing. Rhythm achieved Burst Mode." Yoshi said, amazed by Rhythm's power and love for Agumon to get stronger so she could save him from Specter's influence.
And she, along with everyone else was further amazed as Rhythm raised her right arm into the air and slammed it into the ground, pulling out a copy of the GeoGrey Sword, which was much smaller than ShineGreymon's original before she leapt up onto MirageGaogamon, filling him with more power than he ever felt. 
"Go for it and save Agumon." Rhythm said to MirageGaogamon who nodded before he exclaimed. "Meteor Shackle!"
Bringing forth his weapon of light, MirageGaogamon struck ShineGreymon. However, ShineGreymon was quick to act and summoned his GeoGrey Sword from the ground, locking him and MirageGaogamon in a standstill.
But that quickly changed as Rhythm leapt off MirageGaogamon and clashed her blade against ShineGreymon's.
Nothing happened for a moment, but then cracking sounds could be heard. Everyone watched as Rhythm's blade broke through the GeoGrey Sword, before she and MirageGaogamon both hit ShineGreymon, causing him to roar out in pain as he was engulfed in a massive explosion of light, which not only affected him but Marcus too.
Seeing his chance to hopefully knock sense back into his friend, Thomas balled his right hand into a fist and slammed it into Marcus's jaw in a powerful uppercut, knocking him into the air and to the ground, while ShineGreymon de-digivolved back into Agumon and had fallen too.
Lastly, LightGreymon and Shoutmon X3 were up against Mikey and OmniShoutmon, the duo who had saved both the Digital World and the Real World in the past, now were the ones who had to be defeated in order to save their worlds once again.
"Shoutmon." Lunamon said softly, worried about her mate as she watched him fight.
"Light Blade!" LightGreymon exclaimed, before he unleashed an energy wave at OmniShoutmon from his sword.
However, OmniShoutmon quickly leapt into the air avoiding the attack, before he shouted as flame spheres formed within his hands. "Twin Fireball Strike!"
It was then OmniShoutmon launched the fireballs right at LightGreymon and Shoutmon X3. Both managed to avoid the attacks. However, OmniShoutmon then landed, rushed forward and began to bombard Shoutmon X3 with punches.
With punch after punch, OmniShoutmon continued attacking while Shoutmon X3 tried his hardest to defend himself, but could feel his energy slowly being drained with each strike.
'I don't know how much longer I can hold out.' Ballistamon mentally told Dorulumon.
'Same here. Without Shoutmon, our power is greatly reduced and our form is unstable.' Dorulumon replied, before he stated. 'But I won't give up on Shoutmon or Mikey.'
'Same here.' Ballistamon replied, before saying in a determined tone through Shoutmon X3, in Shoutmon's voice. "Shoutmon, you saved me from my darkness in the past, now it is time I repaid you by saving you from yours!"
"High Atmospheric Pressure!" Shoutmon X3 exclaimed as he ignored the blows delievered upon him and struck OmniShoutmon in the chest, before throwing him into the air. Shoutmon X3 then shouted loudly. "Varooma-Boomerang!"
Shoutmon X3 then launched a beam from his chest armor directly at OmniShoutmon, who was unable to escape the attack and was struck, causing a massive explosion to erupt in the sky.
"Nice shot, guys!" Jeremy called out, only for Spike to say in a serious tone. "Yeah, but it's not over."
And he was right.
As the smoke from the explosion cleared, everyone watched as OmniShoutmon fell to the ground, creating a massive crater where he landed.
"Shoutmon!" Lunamon cried out in concern, wanting to run over and see if the one she admired and cared for was okay, only for Angie to pick her up and hold her back.
Meanwhile OmniShoutmon got to his feet, his body covered in scratches and wounds. However, his power had not yet diminshed as shown when he then exclaimed. "Heavy Metal Vulcan!"
OmniShoutmon then began to fire a hail of shots from his chest right at LightGreymon and Shoutmon X3.
And while LightGreymon was able to sustain some of the damage as he protected himself with his shield, Shoutmon X3 took each shot that hit him, further weakening him until he was unable to maintain his form and split back into Ballistamon and Dorulumon.
"Ballistamon! Dorulumon!" Angie called out in concern for them, seeing the pair both injured and struggling to get up. OmniShoutmon took this chance to finish off his former friends.
"Omega the Fusion!" OmniShoutmon exclaimed, launching the power he had obtained from Omnimon, only for LightGreymon to leap before them and shout. "Shield of Harmony!"
Launching energy from his shield, the attacks collided, battling for dominance.
Light fought against darkness, until both attacks soon cancelled each other out, before OmniShoutmon and LightGreymon charged at each and engaged in close combat.
Meanwhile Lunamon broke free from Angie's grasp.
"Lunamon!" Angie called out, expecting her to run over and try to reason with Shoutmon. Instead, the rabbit-like Digimon responded by going over to Ballistamon and Dorulumon and asked them. "Ballistamon, Dorulumon, do you have anymore energy left to Digifuse?"
"I think I just have enough for one." Dorulumon replied, managing to get to his feet before he asked curiously. "What do you have planned?"
"I...I want to show Shoutmon I'm not the same weak and scared Digimon I was when we met. I can be strong!" Lunamon replied in a determined tone, which made Ballistamon and Dorulumon smile as Ballistamon then replied. "Then I will follow your orders, my highness."
"Thank you." Lunamon said happily, before turning to Angie and Jeremy and calling out. "Quickly. Digifuse me with Ballistamon and Dorulumon so we can get Shoutmon and Mikey back!"
"Okay!" Angie replied as she got out her Fusion Loader and held it up, determined to win and save Mikey and Shoutmon.
"Lunamon!"
"Ballistamon!"
"Dorulumon!" 
"Digifuse!" Angie called out, watching as Dorulumon's head disappeared and his hind legs split from the torso, which split in half and merged back with his feet entering in the torso, while two cannons appear from the metallic structures in Dorulumon's back, turning him into his Drill Cannon form.
While Dorulumon had undergone his changes, so had Lunamon.
Lunamon's head was adorned in a smaller version of Ballistamon's head, covering the top of her head, while letting her ears poke out. Red gauntlets adorned her tiny arms, stretching them out so she could reach the hilts on the Drill Cannon.
Watching through her Ballistamon helmet, it displayed a visor and targeting system which locked onto OmniShoutmon, who was still battling LightGreymon.
"LightGreymon, back down!" Spike called out, which LightGreymon did, jumping back and giving Lunamon a clear shot.
"Fire!" Luna then shouted as she pulled the hilts and fired two massive energy blasts at OmniShoutmon, hitting him dead on.
After their attack Lunamon, Ballistamon and Dorulumon split back into their original forms, watching to see if Lunamon's power had won.
And just like the others who were being controlled by the darkness, OmniShoutmon and Mikey fell too, defeated by the heroes.
After the dust had subsided, Mikey, Shoutmon, Marcus, Agumon, Takuya, Takato and Guilmon were lying on the ground.
Rika, Renamon and Zoe returned to their human form, as Yoshi, Rhythm, Angie and Lunamon joined them in concern.
"Don't worry. They're still alive." MegaGargomon told them.
"Yeah. Now, we have to turn our attention to Specter." Imperialdramon said.
"Don't think you've won just yet." Specter told his enemies.
The others turned in shock and surprise as Takato, Guilmon, Takuya, Marcus, Agumon, Mikey and Shoutmon rose to their feet.
"They're tough." Plesiomon admitted.
"All they have to do is Digivolve again and then it'll all be over." Kurata sneered.
But as soon as the humans raised their Digivices again...
Angie grabbed Mikey by the arms, restraining him.
Lunamon pinned Shoutmon down by the chest.
Yoshi grabbed Marcus' arms and held onto them tight as Rhythm wrapped her arms around Agumon.
Zoe restrained Takuya.
Rika held onto Takato tightly and Renamon used her arms and legs to stop Guilmon from fighting.
"Mikey, stop this!" Angie called out in concern. "You've gotta stop!"
"No more, Shoutmon! Please stop!" Lunamon cried as she hugged her mate tightly.
The corrupted heroes tried to break free but the girl's grip was so tight they were unable to escape.
"Shake them off! Just shake them off you!" Devimon ordered.
"Sorry Devimon but I am not abandoning Agumon like this!" Rhythm said in a determined tone.
"Marcus, I know you can hear us. You've got to break free!" Yoshi called out, hoping to reach him.
"Please, you've gotta break free of Specter's spell, Takuya!" Zoe cried out.
"I am not letting go of you, Takato! Not while you are in pain!" Rika yelled.
"Guilmon, please! Fight! I know you're stronger than this!" Renamon told the corrupt dinosaur Digimon.
And the next thing they all said surprised everyone.
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!" They cried to them.
Hearing this, Takato, Guilmon, Takuya, Marcus, Agumon, Mikey and Shoutmon stopped struggling, surprised at what they had heard.
"They stopped!" Jeremy said in surprise.
"They must have reached them! Keep talking to them!" Shoutmon X3 called out.
"Mikey, I know you're a good person and I love you for that!" Angie said to Mikey, before she begged. "Just break free, please!"
"I will always love you, Shoutmon and I know we will be a great Digimon king and queen." Lunamon said, tearing up a bit.
"I missed you so much, Marcus! I always waited for you to come back so I could express how I truly felt about you!" Yoshi said, tearing up too.
"And I'm your mate, no matter what Agumon!" Rhythm stated.
"You always protected me, Takuya!" Zoe called out, before stating. "Now it's my turn to protect you."
"Takato, you are a good person, you're always there for others and that is why I love you!" Rika called to Takato, trying to fight off her tears. "Please, Gogglehead, you gotta fight it."
"And after Impmon and Cyberdramon left me, I thought they're wouldn't be a way for us to be together but now I do. Seeing your new form makes me love you more, Guilmon. Just come back to the light, please!" Renamon cried in a plea of love.
It was working.
At first there was silence, before the brainwashed heroes began screaming out, trying to fight off the mind control.
"What?!" Specter questioned, shocked his power wasn't strong enough to keep those he had manipulated under his control.
"They're trying to fight off the mind control? Impossible!" Devimon said.
"Takato, hold on!" Jeri called out.
"You all can do it!" Calumon stated loudly, wanting his friends to be nice again.
"Digi...Destined." Mikey suddenly spoke for the first time, calling to the Digidestined. "Your...Digivices...use them...!"
"Huh?" The Digidestined questioned.
"Quick...use...them!" Shoutmon struggled to say.
"It's the only way...to...to free us!" Takuya called out.
"Shut up, you miserable ingrates!" Specter shouted.
"You...shut up...you jerk!" Marcus's Agumon yelled at Specter.
"If your Digivices...can destroy Dark Gears..." Takato managed to say, before stating. "Then it should...work on Specter's dark magic!"
"Quick! Use your...Digivices...before we lose control again!" Marcus ordered.
"First things first, there's something else that needs to be done." Cyclops stated before knocking the Digivices out of the restrained heroes hands with a series of optic blasts.
"Good job and they're right! If our Digivices can free Digimon from the power of the Dark Gears, then maybe it will work on Specter's dark magic." Izzy theorized.
"Let's give it a shot. Rika, Renamon, everyone hold on to them tight!" Tai said as he and Davis approached Takato.
Matt and Ken headed towards Guilmon.
Sora and Kari went over to Takuya.
Mimi and Yolei rushed over to Marcus.
T.K and Cody headed towards Agumon, while Joe headed towards Shoutmon.
And lastly Izzy made his way to Mikey.
"Please...hurry...!" Guilmon shouted through a strained voice.
"Here goes nothing!" Davis called out as he and Tai then held their Digivices to their chests and a huge bolt of light appeared, making Takato scream in pain as Rika held onto him tightly.
Matt and Ken held their Digivices to Guilmon, making the same light appear and strike Guilmon while Renamon held him.
The Digidestined held their Digivices towards the corrupted Digimon and humans, making bolts of light hit them and as they did, dark auras were beginning to exit out of their bodies.
"It's working!" Spike stated.
Soon, the dark auras disappeared from Mikey and the others and the dark lines and red eyes disappeared, causing the seven Specter had brainwashed with his evil to collapse onto their lover's arms.
"Mikey, are you alright?" Angie asked in concern as she held Mikey's unconscious body.
"They'll be alright. They're just out of energy." Izzy reassured them, before saying. "Though it would be best if you look after them until they wake up."
"Of course. We'll look after them, no worries." Renamon said, unable to contain herself as she rubbed her paw against Guilmon's muscular chest.
"We'll join you afterwards." Zoe replied, before saying. "Now, go get them!"
"Thanks." WarGreymon said in response, before he and the others all turned to the villains.
"It's just you and us now! Give it up!" LightGreymon yelled.
"Never!" The D-Reaper snarled as he, Quartzmon, Kurata, Myotismon and Devimon stepped forth.
"You may have beaten them but your luck just ran out!" Devimon stated.
"We'll see about that." Spike said as the others prepared to fight while Angie, Lunamon, Yoshi, Rhythm, Zoe, Rika and Renamon stayed back to protect those they loved.
