Black General's Last Stand and Love Gone Bad

WarGreymon was flying around trying to avoid the gunfire. BK MegaGargomon was shooting at him with as much firepower as possible. WarGreymon's attack had no effect. BK MegaGargomon's armor was tough.

"MEGA CLAW!"

He turned and drill clawed BK MegaGargomon, but to no avail. BK MegaGargomon just smacked him away and stepped on him.

"You can't penetrate my armor. I'm a living fortress. I'm one of the toughest generals there is."

WarGreymon groaned as the giant crushed him with his foot.

Tai watched helplessly as his friend strained against the black general.

*'It can't end like this. We've come this far. We can't lose now. I know we can win, but how?'*

"WarGreymon! I believe in you! Don't give up now! You gotta pull through!"

The Crest of Courage suddenly began to shine. A ray emitted from it, and it shot out to WarGreymon.

WarGreymon found himself being able to lift BK MegaGargomon's foot slightly.

"MEGA CLAW!"

He spun around and lifted the black general off the ground and into the ceiling. He drilled against him for a minute then let him fall. WarGreymon flew back to the ground and watched as BK MegaGargomon began to stand up.

"So! How does it feel to be beaten up by someone smaller than you?"

"Ugh! You're strong alright, but not strong enough!"

BK MegaGargomon lunged at WarGreymon and body slammed him to the ground.

"TERRA FORCE!"

WarGreymon counterattacked and sent BK MegaGargomon backwards. They charged and were throwing lightning fast punches at each other. WarGreymon suddenly drew back, with his claw full of energy and slashed. BK MegaGargomon stumbled back surprised to see a huge claw mark in his armor. That's when he got mad.

"BIG MISSILE!"

He fired his giant missile, which hit WarGreymon dead on. WarGreymon was weakened from the missile, but he struggled to recover. He got up and watched as another missile came at him. However, he grabbed the missile and threw it to the side, blowing up the sideline in the process.

*'This guy's the toughest yet, I wonder how the others are handling their opponent.'* WarGreymon thought.

In the other tower, GuardianAngemon was struggling to keep a foot off of him. BK Seraphimon was trying to crush him again. GuardianAngemon was straining against the pressure of the angelic tank.

"GOLDEN RIPPER!"

He suddenly fired his attack, causing BK Seraphimon to lose his footing, long enough for him to fly up out of the way. He flew behind the black general and charged trying to push him over. He succeeded and BK Seraphimon toppled over face first. However he soon got back up and faced GuardianAngemon.

"SEVEN HELLS!"

The fireballs were coming out in force and speed. GuardianAngemon was flying everywhere trying to dodge. He cursed as one almost singed his back.

"I can't keep this up. This guy's not an angel. He's a tank. There's got to be a way to slow him down."

He suddenly saw BK Seraphimon flying up towards him. He darted out of the way as the armored Goliath charged at him.

"SEVEN HELLS!"

The attack came suddenly and GuardianAngemon found himself lying on the ground, in pain. He saw BK Seraphimon hovering above, waiting to attack. He suddenly began to descend, faster and faster. GuardianAngemon was too weak to move.

WarGreymon wasn't having much luck either. A missile sent him clear across the room and he landed on his back. He barely managed to roll away from BK MegaGargomon's Bursting Shot.

"Can't. Take. Much. More."

He struggled not to fall unconscious as he saw his opponent coming towards him.

Elsewhere in the castle...

Bakura and Snow Agumon were watching the fights and were tense.

*'Come on WarGreymon, GuardianAngemon, you must win.'*

Bakura secretly chanted and the Crest of Truth began to glow.

Tai held his crest to his heart.

"Crest of Courage, give WarGreymon the strength to prevail over the evil that stands before him."

Scott held his crest and did the same.

"Give GuardianAngemon the strength to win this fight, Crest of Courage."

Scott and Tai's crests began to glow and radiate towards their Digimon, filling them with energy. But what really kicked things in was some hidden energy from the crest of Truth, which doubled the power.

WarGreymon's eyes suddenly shot open and he darted away from an incoming missile.

GuardianAngemon suddenly flew from out of BK Seraphimon's shadow.

Both black generals were shocked at the display of power.

"BIG MISSILE!"

BK MegaGargomon fired his missile in WarGreymon's direction. However, WarGreymon grabbed the missile with his claws and threw it back at the shooter.

BK MegaGargomon felt the impact of his own missile and he fell to the floor. He struggled to get back up.

"How is this possible? How did he get that much power?"

He glared at his opponent and suddenly charged. WarGreymon had other plans though. He waited as his foe came closer, closer, closer. NOW!

"MEGA CLAW!"

WarGreymon suddenly began spinning around and thrust forward. He drilled through BK MegaGargomon, cutting through his armor and weaponry, and burst out the other side.

"AAARRRRGGHH! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?! I CAN'T POSSIBLY BE DEFEATED. GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

BK MegaGargomon exploded into data and was scattered everywhere. His key lie beneath the bits of metal left over from him. Tai ran over to claim his key.

Elsewhere...

"SEVEN HELLS!"

BK Seraphimon's shots headed towards GuardianAngemon at a fast pace, but he merely darted away from them. He came closer and closer as he avoided the shots. Soon he was right in front of BK Seraphimon.

"What?! What is going on here?! You can't be this fast!" The armored angel exclaimed.

He swung his fist to smash GuardianAngemon. But what he hit was a fistful of air. He frantically looked left and right for his foe. Suddenly he heard movement behind him and he realized he had made a fatal error.

"GOLDEN RIPPER!"

GuardianAngemon slashed the black general with his attacks and darted backwards.

"HA! You missed. I'm not affected!" BK Seraphimon gloated.

"Oh, I wouldn't be so sure." GuardianAngemon said smugly.

BK Seraphimon suddenly felt pain and looked down in horror to see his body be sliced into 2 halves that separated gradually, before exploding and deleting him.

"NO! THE BLACK DIGIMON GENERALS! DEFEATED BY. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!"

The final black Digimon general was no more. His key fell to the ground. Scott ran into the arena and caught the key in his hand.

Both boys and their Digimon knew they had accomplished a great feat. But both duos knew it was far from over. They still had the ultimate battle on their hands and a rescue to perform. Each duo quickly stepped into the portal as the tower was deleted.

Goldendramon was furious, as she watched this through her portal scope.

"Master Millenniummon! Those boys defeated the black Digimon generals! I can't believe they got into the castle! They'll pay for decimating them!"'

"Calm yourself Goldendramon. The Black Digimon Generals were obviously less than worthy. They weren't as strong as they said they were. The dark Digidestined will take care of them, including their "new members." Do you doubt me?"

"Well sir, I have my suspicions about Bakura. He holds the Crest of Truth, and I think he helped the Digidestined in some way."

"Of course. I've known all along he wasn't on our side. I've merely been toying with him. I'll have the girls dispatch of him immediately. Meanwhile send Kuzuhamon to eliminate our guests."

2 portals opened up near the inner castle gates. Scott and GuardianAngemon stepped out of one gate, while Tai and WarGreymon stepped out of another. Each boy held out the keys they had. They had all six keys now. They actually defeated the Black Digimon Generals.

"Tai, do you know what we just did?"

"We just defeated all six Black Digimon Generals. We have all six keys. We actually did it!"

The boys and Digimon high-five each other and hug each other. But they all knew that the future battles would be much harder. Plus, they still had the girls to rescue. They faced the doors and inserted the keys into their respective holes. A voice began to echo out.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE PASSED THE TEST AND NOW HAVE ACCESS TO THE CASTLE!

Tai, WarGreymon, Scott and GuardianAngemon all took a deep breath. They stepped through the doorway as it opened up. They knew there was no turning back. They traveled through the hallway, wondering where the enemy was. Suddenly they saw a group approaching them. The group consisted of Doumon.

"DEMON GATE ESCAPE!"

Evil spells came at the gang from all directions. They all ran for cover, except for the Digimon. WarGreymon slashed through the shaman Digimon, while GuardianAngemon clashed with more, his swords against their war brushes.

"TERRA FORCE!"

WarGreymon fired his attack, deleting 3 Doumon. He then heard one come up behind him but he turned around and stabbed her.

GuardianAngemon slashed the tops of the war brushes off and impaled one of the Doumon before throwing her at the others.

"REVERSE TENGU'S RICE!"

WarGreymon and GuardianAngemon were suddenly knocked down by a group of evil fox spirits. They weren't badly injured and quickly jumped back onto their feet. They saw the group's leader come at them. It was Kuzuhamon. The evil shaman laughed.

"So you're the ones who killed the Black Digimon Generals hmm? Well sorry, but before you can go any further, you must fight me! Kuzuhamon! I will defeat you!"

WarGreymon and GuardianAngemon just glared at her and glowed with crest energy.

"We came this far and we can't be defeated now! TERRA FORCE!"

"Some magic using upstart isn't going to send us away! GOLDEN RIPPER!"

The 2 attacks knocked down a few incoming Doumon. But it seemed that each time they killed a Doumon, another would replace it. They thought that Kuzuhamon was creating them. WarGreymon nodded to GuardianAngemon.

"MEGA CLAW!"

WarGreymon suddenly spun around like a drill and launched himself forward. He drilled through the Doumon and they dissolved into data. Meanwhile GuardianAngemon fought and grappled with Kuzuhamon. Kuzuhamon swung her staff at him while he tried to slash at her face.

"GOLDEN RIPPER!"

"WOMB MANDALA!"

Both attacks cancelled each other out.

WarGreymon flew up and grabbed Kuzuhamon. GuardianAngemon then tried to power up an attack but Kuzuhamon teleported to the side before he had a chance. WarGreymon and GuardianAngemon then faced their opponent.

"I will not let you go any further. I shall now summon a whole army of Doumon to take you out. You WAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Kuzuhamon was suddenly deleted.

WarGreymon and GuardianAngemon were about to attack but froze when they saw their opponent was deleted.

Tai and Scott looked around and behind Kuzuhamon was a familiar looking sword. A Mega Digimon stepped out from behind her. It looked like a blue dragon knight, and it had a V mark on it's chest. There was a turquoise haired boy beside him.

"BAKURA!"

"ULFORCEVEEDRAMON!"

The boys and their Digimon were shocked to see their new friends standing before them.

"My new friends, I am the holder of Truth, but I have not been entirely truthful to you. For you see, the reason that your girlfriends were kidnapped, was because...sniff...sob I arranged it."

Bakura broke down and sobbed like a child. UlforceVeedramon looked sympathetically at his human partner, looked back at the others, fearing their reaction and shutting his eyes. Both expected them to be yelling and saying that they were traitors, or worse, kill them.

Tai and Scott at first wanted to kill Bakura, because he betrayed them, while WarGreymon and GuardianAngemon would've flattened UlforceVeedramon. However they were ready to forgive them, when they saw how sad, regretful and sorry Bakura was. They expected him to be snickering and laughing insanely, but instead he was crying because he did a terrible thing. Scott went over to Bakura and hugged him.

"Bakura, you could've done other things right now, but you decided to help us. I know that all along you were regretting your actions. We can forgive you."

"Really? If you must know, during the battles against the final Black Generals, I offered some of my crest's power to your Digimon."

Tai was surprised.

"So you helped us out back there. We owe you one."

"Not yet. Since it was my fault the girls got captured, I will help you rescue them. UlforceVeedramon will too."

The 3 Digidestined and 3 Digimon nodded and head through the door Kuzuhamon had originally blocked. They found themselves in a dark room. They heard 2 voices shout out.

"So! I knew you would betray us Bakura! You shall be punished severely!"

"You're working with your Digidestined friends after all this time!"

The lights turned on, revealing Yukino and Meilin looking angrily at the Digidestined. Bakura just glared back at them.

"You know what?! I never liked working here anyway! I now know where I belong, and this crest proves it!"

The Crest of Truth was shining. The Crests of Courage and Determination shone with it. Yukino just snarled.

"You cannot fight Goldendramon or Millenniummon just yet! And you're thinking what I think you are, you're wrong. We aren't your opponents."

"Oh, but we know who is. We've brought them with us. Girls, kill them!"

Meilin snapped her fingers revealing 2 Digimon.

"Meet Black Rosemon and Skull Phoenixmon...you'll be surprised who their masters are. Ha ha ha ha."

The boys looked up to see 2 girls, both looked familiar.

"SORA!"

"MIMI!"

Indeed, it was Sora and Mimi. However, they looked a lot different. They had a dark glaze in their eyes and looked like zombies. Instead of their usual attire, they wore something different. Mimi wore a black leather jacket that hugged her figure, and she also wore a tight black skirt that barely covered her butt, exposing her panties. Sora was wearing tight black leather pants and had a tight black mid-riff bearing t-shirt.

"They've been hypnotized by dark energy, that's why they're like that!" Bakura shouted.

Tai and Scott were now shaking with rage. Their beloveds had been turned against them and all because of their enemy's hatred and personal gain. They had to find some way to return the girl's minds back to the light. Maybe their new friend's crest might hold the answer. Whatever the answer was, they had to find it fast, they had a tough fight on their hands.

Yukino just snickered.

"You obviously think you'll be able to attack and defeat the ones you love? Just try it. The ones who were held close to your heart are now about to pierce it!"

"Well then, it's a good thing they won't be facing these two alone." A voice said. Yukino and Meilin saw Logan and Piotr along with ShineGreymon and MirageGaogamon.
