The icy snow prevented the children from moving any farther. Hostility arising between them, they almost lost sight of something important. Jyou took initiative and went out, looking for answers. Answers to where they are, and where they should go from here. But what they saw on the top was..

Ryuhei and co. had now reached the top of the mountain as well, and found Jyou, Taichi, Sora and their digimon partners, with surprise look on their faces. Jyou was even sitting on the ground and looked completely devastated.

"I don't believe this" Jyou muttered out in a disbelief tone "This place really was an island. What do we do now?". Ryuhei and the others took a surprised look around as well, and found Jyou's words to be true. They really were at an Island.

"What do we do now?!" Jyou uttered horrified.

In the meantime, an black gear was flying through the air around the island. A digimon who looked like a beast man lion was in pursuit of it.

"Another one" he said out loud "I must do something about this as quickly as possible".

The digimon continued walking for a little bit, when out of the blue another digimon attacked. It looked like a green ogre of some kind.

"Die, Leomon!" it shouted loudly and made the other digimon aware of its presence.

Leomon.

Adult.

Beast man digimon.

Type: Vaccine.

Special attack: Juuouken.

A proud beast man-type digimon with deep sense of justice. His special attack is Juuouken. (fist of beast king)

Ogremon.

Adult.

Ogre digimon.

Type: Virus.

Special attack: Haouken. (fist of the supreme king)

An evil digimon, whose anger gives him destructive powers.

Leomon quickly grabbed his sword (or dagger?) and intercepted Ogremon's attack. He had attacked with his bone club. The impact however, made the two weapons fly out of the hands of the two combative. They were glaring at each other now.

"This isn't the place for a goody two shoes like you to hang around in. Get out!" Ogremon sneered out. Leomon looked firmly at him.

"The black gears that are raining down on us from this mountain, are turning all of the good Digimon into a frenzy" Leomon replied and clenched his fists "I cannot ignore this". Ogremon snort back, and lifted his fists too. He was ready to attack.

"Then die!" he proclaimed and fired his "Haouken" at Leomon.

Leomon replied that attack with his "Juuouken", and the two attacks collided with each other, both changing directions, and hit each a stone block beside them. The digimon both took distance to each other. Both of them ready to fight. However before second round could begin, a new voice ran through the air.

"Cease your fighting. From now on, you two must cooperate with each other".

"This voice is.." Leomon uttered puzzled and looked around.

"Devimon" Ogremon finished for him.

He was also looking around, searching for the interrupting digimon, who had interrupted their fight. Suddenly in front of them was another digimon, who was as black as the night, and looked like a devil.

Devimon.

Adult.

Fallen angel digimon.

Type: Virus.

Special attack: Death claw.

A sly and cruel devil of the digimon world. With his death claw, he grabs a hold on his enemy's hearts.

"Give me a break!" Ogremon uttered angrily. "Why do I have to work with this guy?". Devimon looked firmly at him.

"The chosen children have arrived" he said in a monotone voice.

"The children?!" Leomon uttered shocked. "You can't mean..".

"It's taking quite some time to defeat them" Devimon continued.

"Then You're the one who must be defeated, Devimon!" Leomon shouted and fired his Juuouken. Sadly Devimon dodged the attack. He even disappeared, and Leomon had no idea where he went.

"How naive. You thought you could defeat me that easily? Death claw!" Leomon could hear him say, and without warning, his back, at the left side where his heart was, got hit by Devimon's claw and screamed up in pain. Devimon of course appeared behind him, smirking evilly.

"Accept your baptism of evil" He said in his monotone voice. Sparks were flying all around Leomon now, and when Devimon finally released him, Leomon was standing motionless, with creepy distant eyes.

Back with the children.

"Taichi, what are you doing?" Agumon questioned and looked at the boy who was sitting down at the ground now, doing something on a paper.

"I'm making a map" the boy replied and took down his mini telescope for just a bit to draw something on his 'map'. "It might be useful for us later".

"Yes that is a good idea" Koushiro replied.

He and Tentomon joined by Taichi's side along with Sora and Piyomon. That until they noticed what Taichi actually was making. Scribbles and a terrible drawing meet their eyes now.

"It doesn't look useful at all" Yamato proclaimed. Sora also sighed deeply.

"Taichi never was good at drawing" Sora replied. Taichi glared angrily at them.

"I don't care! Since I drew it, I can understand it" Taichi yelled up. Ryuhei hummed in the background now, and walked over there as well. He looked down at paper, and without warning, grabbed it out of Taichi's hands.

"If you want to have an 'useful' map, and not this mumbo jumbo, you should let Chihori draw instead" Ryuhei proclaimed "She is actually good at it. Right Chihori?".

However surprisingly Chihori didn't hear him. She was at the edge some meters away, and was watching down on the island with awe. Gazimon was of course beside her, holding her hand like usual, and Renamon was close by to keep an eye out of them. At the order of his master of course. Ryuhei frowned at that.

"Hey give me back my map!" Taichi shouted and pulled it out of Ryuhei's grip "I don't want your stupid sister to draw for me, your idiot".

The others were holding their breaths now. One thing they had learned on their journey, was that Ryuhei cared deeply for his little sister, and offending her might have dire consequences. Ryuhei's eyes fixated on Taichi for a bit, before he shrugged, and walked over to Chihori and the digimon's. Beating Taichi now was not important. Not considered Chihori's weird behavior over there. He wanted to know what had occupied her so much.

"Chihori, what is the matter? You look so.. thoughtful" Ryuhei questioned. This time Chihori heard him, and she lifted her head a little and smiled at him.

"Big brother look. The island looks weird right here" she said and pointed in the air. Ryuhei followed her gesture, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Why?.. why is the island black at that point?" Ryuhei uttered and made everyone rush near him.

They were staring at the same phenomena. They could see different terrains on the island. That was to be expected considered they had wandered into different scenarios. But there at the end of the snow landscape, was complete and utterly darkness. They could see land, but it was covered in darkness.

"What is that?!" Yamato uttered confused.

"Oh I know" Tentomon uttered. Ryuhei rolled his eyes. Of course he did. "It is the dark zone. Or at least we digimon call it that. We don't know what that part of the island is, but rumor has it, all the bad digimon come from that side, so no one nears that place, because they believe they turn evil".

"So you mean the black gears come from there?" Jyou questioned puzzled "But that is strange, Gomamon and I remember seeing them coming out from this mountain".

"But why do you think it is bad?" Sora questioned "It could be a good place. Like when you were kid, and thought there were monsters under the bed. Maybe there isn't anything to be scared of, at that side of the island".

"No, there is something too it" Renamon then replied slowly "Holy digimon like me, lose their powers there". The others eyes widened in surprise.

"And I heard the holy digimon Unimon, is scared of that place too" Tentomon replied. Jyou's eyes widened in disbelief.

"That powerful digimon we faced?!" he uttered "That does it, that place is dangerous". The others shrugged a little. They didn't know what to think.

Suddenly the sound of some kind of blast could be heard, and that got everyone's attention.

"What was that?" Yamato questioned. Everyone began running towards the sound, and soon could see a destroyed path some meters away.

"We can't go that way" Ryuhei said, and the other nodded. That until a digimon was standing on the other end of the path. It looked like a lion.

"Ahr it is Leomon" Patamon uttered with a smile "Leomon is a good digimon".

"He is very strong digimon who fights for justice" Gabumon added.

"I am not so sure" Ryuhei said and his eyes narrowed. "There is something about him". The others looked puzzled at him. That until Leomon drew his knife from his belt, and was staring firmly at them.

"Kill the children" he said.

The children didn't think twice about staying, and began running away. Up on the top once more. There however Taichi lost his map. It was floating in the air towards Leomon.

"Taichi!" Agumon yelled worriedly and attacked with 'baby flame', hitting Leomon but also burned Taichi's map in the process.

"Sorry, Taichi, I burned your map" Agumon apologized, while running down from the mountain at another path. The same path his friends were following.

"Don't worry about it" Taichi said. They continued downwards on this path for a little while, until they all had to stop up. Another digimon cut them off.

"Welcome" the green ogre digimon greeted. "I was waiting for ya. Prepare yourself".

"It's Ogremon!" Patamon uttered in a scared tone.

"Is he supposed to be a good Digimon too?" Chihori questioned.

"No! He is generously a bad guy!" Gazimon sneered and lifted its claw up in a protective stand. He was ready to defend His Chihori.

"Chosen children, kill them" they could now hear a voice say behind them, and they all turned around to see Leomon behind them. They were all trapped.

"Damn we are trapped in between" Yamato uttered and clenched his fists.

"They we're planning this from the start" Koushiro added slowly.

"That can't be!" Piyomon uttered "Leomon and Ogremon are mortal enemies".

Leomon and Ogremon got closer however. They then jumped up in the air, attacking with their 'Hone konbou' (Bone club) and 'shishi ohmaru' (lion king sword) The children let out a terrified scream.

"Agumon Shinka Greymon!".

"Gabumon Shinka Garurumon!".

"Palmon Shinka Togemon!".

And those three digimon charged at Leomon now. They were determined to protect their partner at all cost.

"Renamon Shinka Kyubimon!".

"Piyomon Shinka Birdramon!".

"Tentomon Shinka Kabuterimon!".

"Gomamon Shinka Ikkakumon!".

Those four attacked Ogremon now. Birdramon was flying in the air along with Kabuterimon, and Kyubimon and Ikkakumon attacked at the ground. No one however knew that Devimon was watching from the top of the cliff.

"Takeru, over here!" Yamato said and grabbed his little brother's hand.

"You too Chihori. Don't worry you will be safe" Ryuhei replied and took her little sister's hand.

All the humans hid behind a giant boulder, while their digimon partners charged at the enemies. Greymon started off with firing a giant fireball at Leomon. Ikkakumon fired his 'Harpoon Vulcan' at Ogremon, and Togemon his "Chiku, Chiku bang, bang" at Leomon as well. He got hit by needles now. Kyubimon also hit with his dragon wheel at Ogremon. They were really having the advantage.

"We can do it! Take 'em down with one hit" Taichi then yelled encouraging.

"Even though they are tired, fighting against all 7 at once is still quite severe" Devimon mused to himself up at the top, while watching them fight.

"Finish them off" Taichi shouted, and made Greymon attack with his "Mega flame".

However just in that moment, a loud crack could be heard, and out of the blue a rock slide appeared. Giant rocks were falling down on the children.

"Fox fire!" Garurumon shouted and fired his attack at the rocks.

Birdramon helped with Meteor wing, Kabuterimon with mega blaster, and Greymon lastly his mega flame, turning the stones all to sandy dust.

"Is everyone okay?" Taichi questioned and all the children popped their heads out from the boulder they had been hiding behind.

"Yeah somehow" Yamato replied.

"I'm sick of this!" Mimi uttered angrily.

"Renamon!" Ryuhei then suddenly shouted and rushed out from their hiding spot, and over to his collapsed digimon, who was now lying on the pathway and were drained from power.

Chihori and Gazimon was right behind him. The other children realized that their own partner had collapsed as well, and were also quickly by their side. This battle here had been kinda hard on them.

"Agumon!" Taichi shouted and kneeled down beside his partner.

"I'm okay, just a little tired" Agumon replied weakly.

"Yeah you had to evolve twice today" Taichi replied in a worriedly tone.

"Geez Renamon, this is pitiful" Gazimon then proclaimed proudly with crossed hands and snort "Couldn't even handle a single evolution".

"Easy for you to say. You haven't evolved yet" Renamon said weakly.

"A Gazimon evolves when a Gazimon wants to evolve" Gazimon said philosophically "And that time is..".

"Hopefully when Chihori needs you to evolve" Ryuhei interrupted with a firm look.

Gazimon mumbled something they couldn't hear now. He was clearly offended. Therefore it was of no surprise, that Gazimon seconds later, meow and purred in the warm embrace of Chihori's warm arms. The other children and digimon ignored them for now. Sora turned his gaze towards were their enemies had been standing.

"Where did they go?" she questioned puzzled.

"That's right. Where is Ogremon?" Koushiro questioned worriedly.

"He is not here" Tentomon said in a low voice.

"Neither is Leomon" Palmon added weakly.

"Maybe they got hit by that rockslide?" Gabumon questioned. Jyou got out to the cliff edge and looked down. They were pretty high up here.

"There's no way they could've survived if they fell from here" He then concluded.

"Neither Leomon or Ogremon can fly right?" Sora then questioned, and Piyomon nodded in agreement. Jyou looked really relieved.

"T-Then we are saved!" he uttered happily. "We're so lucky".

Taichi hummed a little. He looked up at the cliff side where the rock slide had happened. He was very thoughtful. Something just didn't feel right.

"What's wrong Taichi?" Agumon questioned his partner.

"I was wondering why the rocks suddenly fell down.." He then said.

"When the path was destroyed earlier, it could've created a crack in the rocks" Koushiro said analytically.

"Hmm yeah maybe" Taichi replied. The 9 children began walking down the pathway now. However what they didn't know, was that Devimon was still watching them from above, with great interest.

"They're more powerful than I expected" He mused to himself "But now that they are tired, I have plenty of chances to kill them". He smirked evilly.

Time skip. At sunset, in the forest.

"No matter how you think about it, it is very strange" Koushiro said "How could they evolve twice in one day?". The others looked worriedly at their digimon's as they walked through the forest, looking for a place to camp at.

"Who cares" Taichi uttered annoyed "Because of that, we were saved".

"Hey, could it be that the digimon have powered up?" Sora then questioned.

"Oh yeah, that is possible" Koushiro said thoughtfully.

"But even if that is true, it was still pretty hard on them" Yamato said and looked at his digimon partner Gabumon, who was walking tiredly through the forest.

"Are you okay Palmon?" Mimi questioned worriedly.

"No I am not" Palmon said and sighed deeply.

"I am so sorry Master" Renamon said and sighed deeply. He fell tiredly to the ground. "It is an dishonor for a Renamon, to not be able to take care of his master".

"Don't sweat it Renamon" Ryuhei said and helped his partner up "Just focus on getting your strength back". Gazimon eyed them all here. Unlike the others, he and Patamon were feeling just fine. That said, they also didn't participate in the fight.

"When will I evolve?" Gazimon thought to himself "I need to protect my Chihori better. I need to become stronger too!".

"I can't walk anymore" Piyomon complained tiredly.

"This isn't going to work" Ryuhei then said "Let's look for a place where we can all rest for a while. Chihori also look tired".

"Yeah, we are also pretty.." Sora began, but suddenly got interrupted by Jyou, who was shouting, and pointing a finger in the air.

"Ahr, look there!" he yelled.

The other children turned towards the direction he was pointing at, and saw a giant mansion in the horizon. Without any hesitation, the children and their digimon rushed towards it, and was now standing in the courtyard, looking at this giant mansion in front of them.

"Alright! It is a normal building!" Jyou shouted happily. "There must be humans living in it this time".

Jyou rushed toward the building, with Yamato right behind him. After all that had happened on this island, the children had learned to be careful. Taichi looked thoughtful at the building in front of them. Something was off.

"What's wrong Taichi?" Agumon questioned.

"This building. I don't remember seeing it from above" Taichi replied.

"Didn't you draw it on your map?" Agumon questioned "Did you lose it?". Taichi sent Agumon an annoyed look now.

"You burned it up!" he then sneered at his partner.

"Oh yeah" Agumon said sheepishly.

In the meantime, Jyou and Yamato had knocked and carefully opened the front door to the mansion. A giant hallway with a lot of doors and stairs meet their eyes.

"Excuse us! Is anyone here?" Jyou questioned slowly.

"How is it looking?" Taichi questioned and neared this strange building. The other children were right behind him.

"There doesn't seem to be anything strange about this place" Yamato replied slowly.

"But I must say, there is still something eerie about this" Koushiro said worriedly.

"You're right" Sora said and nodded.

"You guys aren't thinking about leaving, are you?" Jyou uttered rather stunned "We finally found such a nice place".

"Well, he is right about that" Yamato said and crossed his arms. He also found this rather suspicious. Just like everyone else.

"Ahr look big brother, isn't it pretty?!" Chihori suddenly said and pulled at Ryuhei's arm once again. She was pointing at a painting on the wall. A picture of an angel.

"Wow it is so pretty" Takeru said and smiled as well. Jyou turned towards it.

"It really is beautiful" Mimi replied and Chihori, Takeru and Mimi walked inside to get a closer look on the picture.

"Takeru, what is an angel?" Patamon questioned puzzled. Takeru began telling about it, to Chihori, Gazimon, and his partner. In the meantime the older kids were having a talk about if they should stay.

"There's no way a bad digimon could be hanging around here, when there's such a pretty angel painting on the wall" Jyou said as his argument for them staying.

"Well, I have to admit, it is getting harder for us to set camp these days" Sora said.

"Guess there is no choice" Ryuhei said and looked down at a tired Renamon who was sitting on the ground.

"Yeah, let's go everyone" Taichi said and made them all go inside, and closed the doors behind them.

They all looked around in the hallways now.

"I guess, now we are in here, we should make the most of it" Sora said and Taichi nodded in agreement. He suggested that they took a look further inside, and soon made her drowsy partner follow them. That until Gabumon sniffed around in the air.

"This is.." the digimon uttered stunned and made the others look at it.

"What's up Gabumon?" Yamato questioned.

"I smell food!" He exclaimed rather wildly with made the children look at him rather stunned. Gabumon continued "And it is a feast!". Then he ran towards something, and made the others follow him.

A little while later.

Taichi opened carefully the door, to what looked like a giant dinner hall. Food was really standing on the table, and like Gabumon said, it was a feast.

"That's food right?" Taichi said in a suspicious voice. It was like he suspected an ambush or something like that. He never could be too careful here.

"That is what it looks like" Koushiro replied. He was also very suspicious.

"We're so lucky!" Jyou uttered happily. He was apparently the only one believing this was no trap what so ever. If you didn't count Takeru and Chihori of course.

"This is absurd" Ryuhei proclaimed and had folded his arms over his chest.

"Things are going way to smoothly to be true" Sora added. She was agreeing with Ryuhei here. So was the other children. That until they found all their digimon partners, beside Renamon, eating at the food.

"This is really good!" they uttered in unison.

"Anything wrong with it Agumon?" Taichi asked his partner.

"No it is delicious" he instead uttered and stuffed his face even more.

"Being able to eat this scrumptious food is like a sin" Tentomon said and stuffed his face as well. The children looked stunned at them.

"Mm Chihori you should try these apples. They are delicious!" Gazimon replied and chewed one of them down very quickly. The digimon sighed in delight.

"I-I'm gonna eat!" Jyou then uttered and sat down on one of the chairs at this giant dining table with the food.

He grabbed a plate and flatware, and soon began eating at this delicious food as well. The other children looked at each other. They couldn't decide what to do. Eat or don't eat this food. That until Chihori pulled at Ryuhei's arm once again and claimed she was hungry. The children looked at the delicious food, and in the end they couldn't help themselves. They all quickly sat down and ate the food as well, and since Ryuhei also ate, Renamon did as well.

"I never tasted so good food in my life" Jyou uttered and said the sentence everyone was thinking.

In the evening, outside the girls bathroom.

It was bath time for the nine children. They had bathrooms in this mansion and all the children used this opportunity to get cleaned up. The boys were in the boys bathroom. And the girls at the girls bathroom. Their partner were of course together with them. Sadly we were having a bit of a problem in the girls bathroom..

"Gazimon! You need a bath!" Chihori groaned out and pulled with all her might in the digimon's tail, while trying to drag the digimon inside the bathroom.

"No! You can't make me!" the digimon hissed and had placed his claws down in the floor, refusing to get dragged inside.

It had gone so well at first. Chihori had gone inside the bathroom, Gazimon eagerly following his Chihori in there, until he saw the water in the bathtub. The digimon had run as fast as the wind, and were now outside refusing to get in ever again. Luckily Chihori still were dressed when her partner rushed that fast out of there.

"But Gazimon, you are filthy!" Chihori groaned and pulled once again "You need to be clean!". The digimon just shook his head wildly.

"No, never! Never going down in that weird watery thing!" the digimon shouted. "I have my pride!".

Chihori groaned again, and in the end gave up.

"But, but.." Chihori sniffed a little, and were surely about to cry when rushed footsteps could be heard.

Renamon and Ryuhei soon appeared, and looked at the fighting pair. Ryuhei and Renamon both sighed deeply.

"Chihori, Gazimon what are you doing? We can hear you shout all over the whole mansion" Ryuhei said firmly. Chihori looked up at him with tear filed eyes.

"Gazimon doesn't want to have a bath with me!" She then uttered and let out a cry "He doesn't like me anymore!". Ryuhei sighed and pulled his sister into a hug.

"Oh Chihori, of course Gazimon likes you. He just doesn't like getting wet" Ryuhei said and looked at the digimon "Renamon told me, he is half cat, half rabbit. You know how cats don't like water". Chihori looked stunned at him.

"He.. he doesn't like water?" Chihori questioned.

"That's right I don't!" Gazimon hissed angrily "It is nasty and makes my skin crawl and.. well just, just terrible". Chihori looked worriedly at him.

"So how about you do a truce?" Ryuhei questioned "You go in there. Chihori has a bath, and then she cleans Gazimon up with a wet towel, and water from a bowl?".

"Water?! No, no, no water!" Gazimon hissed "I just stay out here". Ryuhei shrugged, and guided her sister inside the bathroom without her partner. Renamon and Ryuhei looked at the distressed cat/rabbit digimon.

"You know, You are leaving your partner all alone inside" Renamon then mused and got Gazimon's attention. "What if a Kuwagamon flew in here and attacked her?".

"You know, Chihori would give you many indirectly hugs, while cleaning you with that towel" Ryuhei then mused innocently "Maybe even scratch your ears..".

"Chihori I am coming!" Gazimon shouted and rushed in there "Wait for me!".

Time skip.

After that the bath event went pretty well. Although Palmon had to toss Gomamon out of their bathtub, because he belonged with the boys. Gomamon had shouted 'why?' all the way up there. In his defense, Gazimon was male too, but Mimi counted that he was so far away from the bathtub that he wouldn't disturb them. Which also were true, since Gazimon was far away as possible, from the watery danger as he called it. However soon all the children were all cleaned up, along with their digimon, and were now dressed in warm, white, comfortable ropes. They all soon found a Sleeping hall, with 9 comfortable, and warm beds.

"Oh they are soft!" Takeru uttered when him and Patamon had jumped up and down on their bed. Chihori followed his example and were soon jumping up and down with a happy, relaxed and clean Gazimon.

"I have never been so relaxed in my life" Gazimon then said and jumped down on the floor, trying his red scarf around his neck. "Have you ever seen my fur so shiny?".

Then he babbled on and on to Gabumon on just how nice Chihori had made him. Renamon and Ryuhei were eyeing each other. Both had a plastered smirk on their face. Someone was clearly happy to have been cleaned up by their partner.

"Yeah they are real beds, with sheets and everything" Koushiro said stunned. He had soon crawled into a bed along with Tentomon.

"This feels like camping school" Mimi uttered. She had also picked a bed together with Palmon. Sora nodded eagerly, in the bed beside Mimi. Her and Piyomon had made themselves comfortable as well.

"What do you mean feels like it?" Jyou questioned "We were supposed to be in summer camp to begin with, so it's..". He however quickly stopped when he noticed the tense atmosphere in here. Jyou had once again said something without thinking.

"I am sorry" Jyou apologized, but Taichi shook his head.

"No, you are right" He replied slowly and climbed into a bed too "We all left thinking we were just going to camp".

"Today is the fifth day since we've come to File Island" Yamato said and leaned down in his bed "The school and PTA most be in an uproar".

"Yeah!" Ryuhei mused slowly, climbing unto his bed as well with Renamon warming him up pretty well.

Ryuhei wondered if their family would worry. Mimi was having a sad expression on her face. So was Sora, but she suggested that they all should go to sleep now. A hand however were pulling in sleeves of Ryuhei's rope, and his eyes soon wandered to the left side, where Chihori was standing.

"Big brother, can I sleep with you?" She asked slowly.

"Sure, Can't sleep?" Ryuhei questioned. Chihori shook her head firmly.

"I can, but wanna sleep with you" she replied in a sad tone.

Ryuhei nodded and made room for her in bed. Not even a second later, Gazimon was worming himself in between them, without a care in the world. He was of course not leaving his Chihori. Luckily there were still room in the bed, and the Zukizuma siblings soon fall asleep.

Lights fell out from the sleeping quarters and everything were dark and silent. Or should be. As the could covered the sky outside, so did the truth about this place, and the schemes who had been planning.

"What children" a voice ran monotone, but silent at the same time, through the entrance. "They fell for such an obvious play".

Out of the angel picture who was hanging in the entrance, Devimon emerged from it. He landed gracefully on the floor, and now in front of him was Leomon and Ogremon.

"I'll smash them at any time!" Ogremon proclaimed.

"Kill the children!" Leomon said in an obedient tone. Devimon smirked. Everything was going according to plan. Or almost. Just in that minute, the door to the sleeping quarters opened, and Taichi and Agumon walked outside in the hallway.

"Can't you go to the bathroom by yourself?" Taichi sneered.

"But you're scared to go to the bathroom at night too" Agumon replied slowly.

"That is not true. I'm old enough!" Taichi sneered, but he still ended up walking Agumon to the bathroom. They had no clue as what was about to happen.

Taichi was waiting impatiently for Agumon to finish in one of toilet stalls in here.

"How long are you gonna take? I am sleepy so hurry up?" He complained.

"This is weird" Agumon replied slowly "I ate so much, so I thought it'd be a big one". What Agumon and Taichi didn't know was that Ogremon was waiting for them in another stall. As soon as they let their guard down, he would strike.

"If you are not gonna go, I'm leaving!" Taichi sneered, which Agumon scared.

"Wait, Taichi, I'll finish!" he uttered and began farting.

That was apparently all he could do, but for Ogremon next door, it was like he had tossed a stink bomb. Ogremon couldn't stand it, and rushed out of the toilet boot, and thereby blew his cover to ambush them. Only good thing for Agumon and Taichi.

"That stinks damn it..!" Ogremon yelled at them. But Agumon and Taichi didn't stay to hear him finish. They ran through the corridors. They wanted to warn everyone.

"It's Ogremon!" Taichi shouted as loud as he could, in hope his friends could hear him, but on the way to the sleeping hall, Leomon was standing in the way.

"The children" He mumbled "Kill!". Taichi looked scared at the digimon.

"You should have just slept quietly" a new voice added. Taichi turned towards the sound and looked scared at the devilish digimon, who was standing on the railing to the stairs. The digimon was smirking evilly at him.

"W-who are you?" Taichi uttered in a scared tone.

"That's Devimon" Agumon replied in a scared tone "He is the strongest evil digimon. Some proclaims he comes from the dark part of the island".

"Time to end this dream" Devimon then said in his monotone voice and then suddenly everything around him changed.

The mansion began breaking apparent, changing its appearance. This was not in reality a mansion, but some old ruins, who was changed because of Devimon's power. Taichi was standing on one of those boulders along with Agumon and Leomon. Devimon and Ogremon were too different pieces of rocks, and his friends were on some giant rocks, two stocks higher up. They were still in those beds, but now out in the middle of the open as easy targets. Yamato and Ryuhei were the first one to notice that something was wrong.

"What is going on?" Yamato questioned.

Ryuhei eyes narrowed, while quickly pulling Chihori into his arms for safety. The others quickly woke up soon as well, but before any of them could do a thing, Devimon used his powers to make the beds levitate, and fly around through the air. The others had no control over their bed at all. They were rather helpless.

"What is happening?" Koushiro questioned puzzled.

At Taichi and Agumon end, things were looking bad as well. Taichi had tried helping his friends, but suddenly Agumon had gotten ill. He had no energy at all.

"Taichi I am weak. Even though I ate all of that food" his digimon uttered confused and tried walking, but he was so tired now.

"Of course not" Devimon said and smirked "The food, the baths. It was all illusions".

"What?!" Taichi uttered rather shocked "Why are you doing this to us?".

"Because you are chosen children" Devimon replied slowly.

"The chosen children?" Taichi questioned. He had no idea what he was talking about.

"Yes. You are a nuisance to me" Devimon told him "Me, who plans to take over this world with my black gears".

Devimon lifted his hands up in the air in front of him, and suddenly the whole island were shaking. Taichi were looking astonished at the whole concept. The Island were suddenly breaking apart, and you could see black gears hiding below the earth, as the island broke apart.

"File Island has already been taking over by the black gears" Devimon continued explaining, as the island now were in different parts swimming across the ocean "The other side of the ocean is next". Taichi looked puzzled at him.

"The other side of the ocean?" he questioned. "You mean there is more to this world than this island?". Devimon smirked evilly.

"You won't be seeing it" He informed Taichi "Because this spot will be your graves".

"The children.. Kill" Leomon then growled and were about to attack Taichi.

Agumon stood brave forward his partner. He fired, or tried, a baby flame, but Agumon had no power at all in the moment, and it was easy for Leomon to shoot him aside with his Juuouken. Taichi looked rather horrified when the attack his Agumon, but he had enough worry as it is, when Leomon forcefully grabbed him and pushed him against the wall. He was about to kill him.

"It is useless to struggle" Devimon said and smirked "You have no more power left to evolve. Finish him Leomon!".

The lion man growled and pulled out his sword. Taichi was really scared now. He was about to die! However just in that movement, a bed, Taichi's bed, fell down from the sky and landed a meter away from him and Leomon. The little device Taichi had been carrying in his shorts, fell out of the bed, and down on the ground beside Leomon. It emitted a strange light, making Leomon groan in pain. A shadow, looking similar to a dark gear vanished in the air.

"The evil has been disappeared" Leomon then shouted. Taichi picked up his device and looked rather confused at the lion digimon in front of him.

"What is going on here?" he questioned. Leomon looked at him.

"So you are a chosen children" he said, making Taichi even more confused. Leomon was totally different than a minute ago. Devimon sneered at that.

"This is bad" he proclaimed and looked up at the other children in their flying beds.

He fired his evil power at them, making the beds crash towards the ground/ocean. He was trying to kill them off. Leomon quickly fired his Juuoken at Devimon, making him loose focus. The beds with the other children got stable, sort of, once again, and were now floating/flying in the air.

"Devimon! How dare you use such foul play against me! Unforgivable!" Leomon sneered at him. Devimon sneered. Soon however, Ogremon were attacking from the air, slamming his bone into Leomon's sword.

"Looks like we are destined to battle" the ogre then said and chuckled evilly.

"Boy, leave this to me and run" Leomon said firmly and looked at Taichi.

"But..!" Taichi uttered angrily. He wanted to fight as well.

"No complaints!" He sneered and slammed his sword into the ground, making the rock foundation they were standing on break.

Agumon and Taichi found themselves falling towards the ocean. But as luck so happens, a tiny iceberg, with just enough space for both of them, were floating/swimming towards them, because of the ocean stream. Agumon and Taichi was brought away from the battle field now.

"You are the only hope for this world!" Leomon shouted to them "Survive!".

Taichi could see Ogremon attack Leomon, while trying to get to them. Leomon was not letting him however. A Juuouken fist hit Ogremon and sent him flying.

"Leomon!" Taichi yelled worriedly. Leomon turned towards them.

"If there is a chance, let us meet again!" the lion then shouted.

Taichi couldn't believe what was happening. Everything was going so fast now. Leomon and Devimon in a heated battle in the horizon, while Agumon and him were dragged away by the current. Taichi hoped, prayed that Leomon was okay. However when a scream filled the air, the chosen child knew that sadly wasn't the case.

"LEOMON!".

Time skip.

Devimon and his minions were assembled at the top of Infinity mountain, and were looking at the spread pieces of the island, who were slowly leaving towards the other side of the ocean, where Devimon wanted to rule supreme. The chosen children were somewhere out there, in the mix of it all, but Devimon was not worried.

"Oh well, I'll just kill them off slowly, one by one" he then proclaimed and smirked.

"Kill the children" Leomon mused obediently behind him.

A,N: Well that was that chapter, and I am terrible sorry, that you had to wait for so long. Hope you can forgive me.. Now I have a question for you readers though. Do you want me to write each meeting, Like how the chosen children each pair up, (they are good episodes, kinda) or do you want me to skip it, and only focus on the Zukizuma siblings?
