Escape

It was night time in the Digital world. Most Digimon slept soundly, some came out to play... Others were doing more malicious deeds.

The 3 viral angels were gathered around in the sky... They seemed to be discussing something.

"Duskmon said they'll be stopping by soon. Shall we attack then?"

"That's what Milleniumon wants us to do. We'll ambush them all at once and take the castle by storm."

"Yes. That's the only thing we can do. I doubt we'll need any soldiers with us. We'll strike them now..."

The three shadowy Angels vanished into the night's sky like mist.

Deep in the night sky, was the flying palace. It wandered with the clouds as it drifted along. Deep inside of it, everyone was asleep. Except for the captured intruders, for they had been put in stasis lock, which was beyond sleep. They had been placed in a machine that suspended them from time. They were frozen from thought, feeling, everything. It was like someone had pressed pause on them. Elsewhere in the castle, the DD and Digimon were sleep in different quarters.

Tai lay in bed, dreaming of Soccer, Digimon, and Sora, of course as the said girl was curled up in Tai's arms, sleeping contently.

Takato had Rika in his arms, cuddling her as she slept.

Takuya lay on the bed tangled in the sheets, with Zoë sleeping in his arms. He could feel her sweet warm breath on his neck.

In his room, Scott held Mimi, in an embrace, as she lay on his chest.

Upon the balcony of the castle, three familiar shadows appeared. They materialized like apparitions.

BK Seraphimon spread his dark angel wings as he stretched. He walked over to the door, finding them shut tightly and barricaded with steel. "Hmm... Pretty good defense. But not good enough to keep us out..." He walked into the door way, and seemed to move right through it as if it were merely a curtain.

BK Ophanimon followed suit, her black high heels clacking against the floor, her wings tucked in. She passed right through the door too.

Viral Cherubimon walked silently, with padded feet, and passed through the door himself. He peered at the large, white crystalline walls around him. "Fancy..."

The three angels tiptoed through the ship. They snuck around, until they came across the stasis room near the control room. Viral Cherubimon opened it up, to find Vincent and Rath, along with their Digimon. "Aha... Hear are the little birds that told us. Time to open their cages..." Viral Cherubimon saw the control pad on the wall. He reached a huge fist up, and he smashed the pad, disrupting the field.

Vincent, Valkyrimon, Rath and Anubismon fell to the ground, slowly regaining power.

"Finally... What took you guys so long?!" Vincent asked.

"We didn't want to risk being caught ourselves. We wanted to be stealthy and silent..."

"And leave us hanging?"

"Hey you're free now aren't you?"

Ryo and Cyberdramon had picked that moment to pass by on patrol. They had woken up, feeling uneasy, so they decided to join in on the patrol. They passed by the stasis room, in time to hear Cherubimon bickering with Vincent. He peered in through a crack in the door. "Ah no, those must be the angels... Now they've been corrupted too. I better alert the others..." He and Cyberdramon snuck off quietly...

"SHHH!" BK Seraphimon shushed. "You'll wake up everyone in the palace!" He whispered loudly.

"Sorry..." Vincent and Kerpymon said in unison.

Valkyrimon peeked out from the door. "I think the coast is clear. The control room is north of here."

"Then that's where we're going..." BK Ophanimon stated.

The three viral angels, along with the Dark DD and their Digimon snuck through the halls. The crystals gleamed brightly around them, blinding them, almost. They passed by all the DD's rooms, believing them to be asleep. Strange enough, there were no guards. Finally they reached the doors.

BK Ophanimon leaned in, turned the handle, and opened... It was dark inside the control room. "The palace is ours..."

"TERRA FORCE!"

"GOLDEN RIPPER!"

"THORN WHIP!"

"CRIMSON FLAME!"

"GLORIOUS BURST!"

"FULL MOON BLASTER!"

Six attacks suddenly bombarded the intruders, sending them flying all over the place.

FINAL ELYSIAN!

SPIRIT CRUSHER!

VOLTAGE BLADE!

Three attacks were sent at the angels, who managed to block them at once.

Gallantmon, Sakuyamon, and Justimon stood in front of the Angels, weapons drawn.

"Thought you could sneak in, eh?" Justimon said. "Luckily, I caught you guys bickering..."

Kerpymon and Vincent were glared at by their teammates.

Tai, WarGreymon, Scott, SlashAngemon, Mimi, Rosemon, Sora, Phoenixmon, ShineGreymon and MirageGaogamon were gathered around the escapees.

"We figured they'd try to rescue you. But we were able to be pre-emptive and catch you..."

BK Seraphimon snorted. "You don't have the upper hand... SEVEN HELLS!" He fired his seven shots upon Justimon, who dodged to the right, only to be smacked by Cherubimon.

War Greymon and Slash Angemon dodged arrows shot at them from Valkyrimon. They seemed to be fired in quick rounds, as they aimed for all points on their bodies.

FERAL SWORD! Valkyrimon appeared out of nowhere, and brought his sword down, upon War Greymon.

CHING!

Or it would have if Slash Angemon had not blocked it.

AMEMIT!

Phoenixmon was crushed between 2 beastly jaws that erupted from the ground, and Anubismon's command, while Rosemon attacked Anubismon with her Rose Rapier, trying to break the attack.

Justimon strained and groaned as Cherubimon crushed him in his fists. He could not seem to break free from the giant angel. He felt his bones beginning to snap, and knew that he had to act fast. "VOLTAGE BLADE!" He charged up his weapon, stronger, stronger. He was hoping the increased power would cut through Kerpymon's fist.

Cherubimon felt a burning sensation in his fist, but disregarded it, and kept squeezing. That was his mistake.

"VOLTAGE BLADE!" Justimon's blade grew wide, bright and full of energy

Kerpymon felt immense pain in his hand and threw Justimon down to the ground.

Justimon took the fall as rebound and bounced back up foot first. "JUSTICE KICK!" His foot went right across Cherubimon's face.

BK Seraphimon was firing his Seven Hells shots at Gallantmon, who constantly had his shield up. The attacks kept him from going on the offense and he found himself backing into a corner. But with each hit, his shield began to gather power. Suddenly the symbol on his shield began to shine brightly. His attack was peaking. "FINAL ELYSIAN!"

BK Seraphimon jumped right over the attack and body slammed Gallantmon.

Sakuyamon mean while was trading blows with BK Ophanimon. Staff clashed with spear, sparks flew all over. "SPIRIT CRUSHER!" Sakuyamon fired a wave of fox Spirits at BK Ophanimon.

BK Ophanimon slashed through the attack with her spear...

Suddenly, Cherubimon did not flinch from his assault

BK Seraphimon cancelled out the blast fired at him.

Valkryimon and Anubismon stopped attacking.

"Enough with this foolishness..." BK Seraphimon said. "The angels and I have a special surprise for you all..."

The 3 angels gathered in a triangle, each carrying a glowing sphere of energy. They began to spin in a circle, and chanted an attack...

Vincent and Rath seemed to know what was happening. They lifted up their Digivices, creating a shield of negative energy around them and their Digimon.

APOCALYPSE OF TORMENT!

There was a blinding flash... Light filled the whole room. The DD and Digimon felt their energy decreasing rapidly...

The light slowly began to die out. When the room was clear, the DD all lay on the floor, weak and drained. Their Digimon were all in Rookie form.

The Door burst open, and all the other DD and Digimon ran in.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Davis yelled as he saw the three angels.

APOCALYPSE OF TORMENT!

They all lost their energy too.

BK Seraphimon flew over the fallen Digidestined, Tamers, and Digimon. He was charging up his seven hells attack. "Now... DIE! SEVEN HELLS!"

The DD were bombarded with multiple energy balls...

Suddenly, six clouds of energy materialized in the control room. One was red, another yellow, another blue, another green, another white, and the final one was black. BK Seraphimon. "What is this? What's going on?!" Suddenly the clouds stopped. All at once they shot right into BK Seraphimon. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" BK Seraphimon crackled with energy. Slowly...he was beginning to transform. His helmet no longer had the X mark, but the cross. His black wings turned back into white wings, and his colors went bright... He was Seraphimon again. "What happened?" He looked around... "Ophanimon?! Cherubimon?! You've gone viral!" He then saw the unconscious, and dying Digidestined. He then began to realize what was happening. "DEAR GODDRAMON! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!" He then noticed that Viral Cherubimon, BK Ophanimon, Anubismon and Valkyrimon were circling him, about to strike him and the DD. "NO! GIFT OF THE SOVEREIGNS!" BK Seraphimon and the DD vanished into thin air.

Suddenly the entire castle exploded in a miniature super nova in the sky. The whole sky lit up for 10 seconds, then faded. All that was left were a Salamon and Lopmon drifting down to the ground, and the falling forms of 2 shattered black digivices.
