DATS gotta be a nightmare

Within the Damon household were Chief Sampson, Kudamon, Megumi, Miki, their PawnChessmon, Rhythm and Keenan Crier and Falcomon, Spencer, Sarah and Kristy Damon who had been told personally by Chief Sampson about Marcus' abduction, his forced fight and how his life and the lives of countless people, Digimon or other creatures were in his, Yoshi's and their Digimon partner's hands, in which they were all gathered in the lounge room, as they watched the TV, but they all knew Marcus' strength, combined with the unbreakable bonds of friendship would never break and would allow him to face against whatever form of evil he and the others were going to face and win without question.

Marcus' loved ones then watched as Marcus, Greg, Yoshi, Agumon, Veemon and Lalamon appeared within one of the Champion Hunter's Death Zone Stadiums, but the second they did, Chief Sampson, Kudamon, Megumi, Miki and their PawnChessmon could see something was seriously wrong.

The arena looked nothing like the one Marcus, Yoshi and their Digimon partners had faced within before as the floor had sections which looked like glass had been shattered on it, there were black roots growing out of the walls and floor, a section of floating rocks within the corner were emitting purple fog, making it impossible to see the roof black and other unusual shapes filled the stadium.

It was then two figures materialized on the other section of the arena.

The first looked like a cross between a female human and a spider, as she had the upper body and face of a human, but her arms were long, pale and had claws instead of fingers.

And the lower section of her body looked like that of an arachnid's, as it was a giant abdomen, with three long legs on each of her sides, in which everyone guessed she was a Digimon.

While the second figure was a Digimon too, which closely resembled a mummy, as he was wrapped from head to toe in bandages, however, unlike a common mummy, this Digimon had grey colored skin, a purple bandanna, and while his right eye was covered in bandages, his left eye was exposed.

And to truly separate him from part of the Egyptian section of the museum, he was wielding a massive rifle in his right hand.

Everyone watching assumed the two Digimon were the greatest evils of another Digital until the pair looked around in confusion, before they both realized where they were and began to panic, which confused everyone watching.

"No! Not here! Anywhere but here!" The female called out in a fear filled tone.

"He's here. I can sense him." The mummy Digimon stated nervously, before the pair looked over to Marcus, Yoshi, Agumon and Lalamon, in which they began to run over to them.

"Help us! Please, help us!" The arachnid Digimon pleaded, however it was then from within the fog, a voice that dripped with malevolence called out. "Too late! Crimson Mist!"

It was then a thick red mist quickly pored out from the fog, in which the members of the DATS crew, Keenan and Falcomon and the Damon family watched in horror as the two Digimon were engulfed by the mist and melted, until no trace of either Digimon was left.

"You are doomed, as you have entered a world of despair where your souls will be consumed by darkness and there is no place for you to hide!" The vile voice of evil told Marcus, Yoshi, Agumon and Lalamon.

"You don't scare us and we don't plan on hiding." Marcus called out, in which Agumon nodded his head in agreement, before he stated. "And if anything, you're the one hiding. Within the darkness above us."

"What!?" The wicked voice questioned in anger, before it stated in a tone of fury. "I'll show you! I never hide from anything!"

"So quit hiding in the shadows and show us your ugly face, MaloMyotismon!" Marcus then yelled out.

"If that's what you wish, human." The voice of wickedness replied, in which everyone back in the Damon household could only watch as a Digimon emerged from the fog, revealing his horrifying form.

Silver and purple armour, with the Mark of Evil on his chest, covered his entire body, as Dark citrine coloured hair protruded from the evil Digimon's head, leaving only a cruel smirk on his vile face, which was covered by a crimson mask to match the insignia of evil, revealing him to be non other than the wicked, the wretched, the Mega level vampire, MaloMyotismon.

"You're MaloMyotismon?" Marcus questioned, before he let out a small snigger and stated. "You're even uglier then Davis described."

"So that Digidestined brat told you about me?" MaloMyotismon asked, as the thought of the Digidestined of Courage and Friendship only heightened his hatred.

"That's right. He figured you'd be evil from his world the Champion Hunter would use to fight us." Yoshi replied, before Lalamon asked in a confused tone. "But why were Arukenimon, and Mummymon revived too?"

"Simple. To test my new body and its power, but mainly for fun." MaloMyotismon replied, before he let out a vile laugh, which caused Marcus to clench his fists, before he stated in an angered tone. "You're one sick Digimon!"

"And what if I am? What are you going to do about it?" MaloMyotismon questioned in an arrogant tone.

"This!" Marcus replied loudly, as he as charged right at MaloMyotismon, as he pulled his right arm back, before he yelled out. "It's Fighting time!"

Marcus then leapt into the air, and before MaloMyotismon could react, Marcus slammed his fist right in the vile vampire's face, inflicting a great amount of pain to him.

"How dare you strike me, human!" MaloMyotismon roared out in blind fury, before he exclaimed violently. "Now you will pay! Screaming Darkness!"

"Not so fast!" Marcus called out, as he then held up his right hand, showing it was now charged up with D.N.A., before he used the D.N.A. in combination with his Digivice and called out. "D.N.A Charge Overdrive!"

"Agumon double warp Digivolve to ShineGreymon!" ShineGreymon exclaimed, as Agumon Digivolved to his Mega form, before he then exclaimed. "Glorious Burst!"

ShineGreymon then fired a blast of energy from each wingtip, which collided with MaloMyotismon's Screaming Darkness attack and created a massive explosion of light, which not only protected Marcus, but also blinded MaloMyotismon.

"Shine Hammer!" MaloMyotismon then heard ShineGreymon roar out, in which when the manipulative Digimon got his sight back was rewarded with a devastating punch in the face, which knocked him to the floor.

Infuriated beyond comprehension, MaloMyotismon got up and exclaimed in a loud and aggressive tone. "That's it! Playtime is over! Mental Illusion!"

It was then MaloMyotismon's eyes shone a blinding white, which consumed the entire stadium and caused everyone back at the Damon residence to shield their eyes from the intensity of the attack, but after the light subsided, everyone was amazed to see that Marcus and Yoshi were fine, while their Digimon partners were now in their Burst Modes.

"What's going on!?" MaloMyotismon demanded in a shocked and confused tone, as the two humans hadn't been affected and the Digimon had gained a new level of power he never knew existed.

"What's going on is that we knew you'd try and cower behind your Mental Illusion attack. But thanks the Digidestined and Digimon who beat you the first time; we've used your own power against you. And now we've all been given the strength to defeat you." Marcus replied in a sly tone, before he stated. "So there's nothing you can do to defeat us."

"Really? Well we'll soon find out." MaloMyotismon replied in a dark tone, before he exclaimed. "Mental Illusion!"

MaloMyotismon's eyes then shone once again, only this time it was a blinding light of black energy, in which Yoshi, Rosemon and the people and Digimon outside of the stadium managed to shield themselves from the dark light, before the light faded way, leaving those in the Damon household confused.

"I don't get it." Keenan said, which got everyone's attention, before the teen stated. "Marcus said that MaloMyotismon's Mental Illusion attack was powerless against them. So why would he use an attack that would have no effect?"

However, before anyone could think of a reason why, they all heard Yoshi call out in a concerned tone. "Marcus!"

It was then everyone was horrified to see on the screen were Marcus and ShineGreymon, both unconscious on the floor with pained expressions on their faces.

"Marcus wake up!" Yoshi pleaded as she shook his unconscious form, before MaloMyotismon laughed and then told her. "Your little friend and his pathetic Digimon can't hear you."

"What did you do to them?" Yoshi questioned in a worried tone, in which MaloMyotismon only laughed at her fear, before he told her. "I learned from my mistakes with those Digidestined. So I've trapped them both in their darkest nightmares and as time passes, so does their will to fight."

-Within the world of nightmares-

Marcus slowly opened his eyes, in which he was confused as where he was and how he got there, but when he opened his eyes, he was horrified to see he was back in his city, which looked as though it had been in the middle of a warzone.

But the second Marcus tried to move; he could see familiar green vines had bound his arms, legs and chest, while Agumon too was bound next to him and was unconscious.

"Agumon!" Marcus called out in concern to his best friend, however, the amber coloured reptile Digimon didn't respond and remained unconscious, while in Agumon's perceptive, Marcus was the one who was unconscious.

-Back with MaloMyotismon, Yoshi and Rosemon-

"We won't let you harm our friends!" Rosemon stated in a determined tone, before she then called out as she charged at MaloMyotismon. "Charite!"

Rosemon's cape then wrapped around MaloMyotismon's head, blinding the vampiric Digimon, who yelled out, as he moved around frantically. "Get off my face you caped cretin!"

It was then MaloMyotismon managed to get a hold of Rosemon, before he began to crush her with his claws, which caused Yoshi to call out in concern. "Rosemon!"

"You want her so badly?" MaloMyotismon asked in a mocking tone, before he yelled out, as he threw Rosemon right at Yoshi. "Take her!"

It was then Rosemon slammed into Yoshi, knocking the pair down, in which Yoshi's Digimon partner quickly got up and asked in a concerned tone. "Yoshi, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Yoshi replied, as Rosemon helped her up, before Yoshi told her Digimon partner. "But we still have to stop MaloMyotismon."

"Right." Rosemon replied, as she nodded her head, but it was then MaloMyotismon let out an evil laugh as he had his back to them, before the Mega level Digimon told the pair. "Go on and attack me. I'm ready for you."

"We'll see about that." Rosemon replied, before she launched the pink spheres that were floating around her, before she then exclaimed. "Jewel of Heart!"

However, it was then Yoshi and Rosemon were shocked when MaloMyotismon turned around, revealing he was now holding ShineGreymon in his left claw and Marcus in his right, which shocked everyone as the Digimon of darkness used the unconscious pair to protect himself from Rosemon's attack, in which Marcus and ShineGreymon cried out in pain as Rosemon's energy spheres struck them, which caused Kristy to cry out in concern for her brother, before she wrapped her arms around Keenan, her boyfriend, and cried into his chest as she couldn't bare the sight of seeing her brother suffering.

"D.N.A Charge Overdrive!" Greg called out.

"Veemon double warp digivolve to...Imperialdramon! Imperialdramon Mode Change to...Fighter Mode!" Imperialdramon FM then ran forward and punched MaloMyotismon in the face.

-Back in the nightmare world-

Agumon continued to try and break free from the vine bindings, in which despite all his strength, he was no match for the vines.

"Pepper Breath!" Agumon then exclaimed, as he planned to roast the vines and free himself, before saving Marcus, but the Dino Digimon was shocked when not even so much as a tiny flare emitted from his maw.

But it was then Agumon groaned out in pain as not only did the vines constricting him tighten, but also a new vine grew out of one of the old ones and slashed across his stomach, while Marcus experienced the same painful experience.

But it was then their nightmares truly began as they heard a female scream, in which Agumon was shocked to see the vines had captured Rhythm, while Marcus could see in Rhythm's place was Yoshi, in which they both called out to their loved one, as all they could do was watch as spikes slowly emerged from the vines and dug into Rhythm/Yoshi's skin.

-Back in the fight between good and pure evil-

Yoshi and Rosemon felt powerless at the situation they were currently in, they both knew Rosemon could seriously damaged MaloMyotismon, but feared they would harm and possibly damage Marcus and ShineGreymon's minds if they did, however, that didn't stop MaloMyotismon from attacking.

"Screaming Darkness!" MaloMyotismon exclaimed evilly, as the jaw-like cannons on his shoulders opened up and fired a barrage of dark energy spheres, which struck Rosemon in the chest and caused her to cry out in pain as she fell to the floor.

Meanwhile, Yoshi fell to her knees, as tears began to trail down her face, as she felt powerless and had no idea what to do in order to save Marcus and ShineGreymon, in which she thought to herself doubtfully. 'What can I do? Whenever Rosemon attacks MaloMyotismon will just use Marcus and ShineGreymon as shields, but if she doesn't attack I know MaloMyotismon will.'

MaloMyotismon then let out a victorious and fiendish laugh, before the vampiric Digimon told Yoshi. "That's it. Give into your despair for there's nothing you can do to stop me! You may have wished for the strength to defeat me but your power is useless!"

"You're wrong..." Yoshi said, as she got back up, in which Yoshi knew from what MaloMyotismon had told her, she could save Marcus and ShineGreymon, in which she charged at the Mega level Digimon, jumped into the air, and with all her might, slammed her right fist into the left side of MaloMyotismon's face, which not only inflicted a great amount of pain to the evil Digimon, as shown when several of his fangs were shattered, but also caused him to drop Marcus and ShineGreymon.

"But how?" MaloMyotismon questioned, before he stated. "Your heart shouldn't be filled with hope. It should only contain darkness, despair and fear."

"It was thanks to what you said." Yoshi replied, which confused MaloMyotismon, in which she explained in a determined tone. "We did wish for the strength to defeat you, but it just didn't apply to our Digimon. It applied to me, Greg and Marcus too."

Angered by Yoshi's actions and words, MaloMyotismon roared out, as he unleashed more dark energy spheres from the jaw-like cannons on his shoulders. "Screaming Darkness!"

But it was then MaloMyotismon was shocked when ShineGreymon, with Marcus standing on right shoulder, appeared before Yoshi, as he wielded his GeoGrey Sword in both hands, in which ShineGreymon sliced every single dark sphere in half, before they were destroyed.

"Forget about us?" Marcus asked in a sly tone, before ShineGreymon held the GeoGrey Sword right at MaloMyotismon, and before the Mega level vampire Digimon could react, ShineGreymon roared out. "Final Shining Burst!"

MaloMyotismon then screamed out in agony, as ShineGreymon released all of the energy from within his GeoGrey Sword, which consumed the evil Digimon's entire being, before he broke a part into data particles, which were then incinerated by ShineGreymon's explosive attack, destroying MaloMyotismon once and for all.

It was after all traces of MaloMyotismon were disposed of, Chief Sampson, Kudamon, Megumi, Miki, their PawnChessmon, Rhythm and Keenan Crier and Falcomon, Spencer, Sarah and Kristy Damon were so proud to see that through their power, Marcus, Yoshi and their Digimon partners had defeated another force of evil.

But it was suddenly the heroes of the Data Squad universe were all enveloped by dark red energy and left the arena.
