Wow, I must say that I'm surprised that everyone was so eager for this chapter. To be honest, I'm rather disappointed by everyone's negative reaction and actions. You should all be careful, I could after all just delete this story and save the chapters just for me, so watch your mouths. Just be glad that it's finally done and watch your mouths.

I do have something to say. I need some help for the Tamers story, I have this little problem concerning Digimon Tamers episode 38 and 39. If anyone can help, message me. For now enjoy the chapter and if it's not what you were expecting, suck it up.


Chapter 4: Rise of a prince.

The sky was dark, showing that the day has reached afternoon with the full moon high in the sky with lots of people asleep at this time, but a few people and Digimon remained awake. In the forest, the two Skull Hunter members Scott and Mephiles were in the forest, trying to escape from their pursuers that were chasing them to get information about their gang and about the Digimon they stole from other Hunters.

However, they have been feeling like someone was following them in the shadows, getting them a little scared. "Y-Ya feel that?'' Mephiles asked Scott nervously, shaking as they continued to walk through the forest. "Y-Yeah, but it's gotta be our imagination, right?" Scott replied to Mephiles, also nervous about what he was feeling.

However, unknown to the two Hunters, watching from the shadows of the trees were Dragon Form Shadow in Level 3, Takumi in Dragon Form level 3, Ruri in Dragon Form Level 3 and Kimberly in Cat form. These four Darkness users have been tracking the members of Skull gang, wanting to find their base and free all the captured Digimon. Takumi and Ruri's dragon forms were just like Shadow's only different color. Takumi was pure purple, while Ruri was pure white.

All four children of darkness were on different trees, waiting for the right moment to strike. "I'm in position to strike". Takumi whispered to the Darkness for his friends to hear him. "I'm in position to block their escape". Kimberly whispered to the Darkness for her friends to hear.

"We got everything ready as planned. Brother, give us the signal". Ruri whispered to the Darkness for her brother to hear, wanting to attack and free the captured Digimon sooner. Shadow nodded to his sister in agreement. "Alright, get them guys''. Shadow said to the Darkness as he gave the signal, getting nods from everyone.

They all jumped out of their hiding place and into the sky, getting Scott and Mephiles' attention as they looked up, only for Shadow and Ruri's fists to meet their faces, sending them to the ground. Kimberly quickly used her speed to move fast and scratch at Scott's and Mephile's faces, making them cry out in pain. Finally, Takumi let out a breath as purple mist came out of his mouth, heading for Scoot and Mephiles, who sucked it in when they screamed in pain.

Scott and Mephiles landed on the ground on their backs in pain, before they started gasping for air. "What…the…hell!?'' Scott gasped in pain as he held his throat with his hands, still gasping for air. "What…did…you…do…to…us!?'' Mephiles demanded to the Darkness users as he continued to gasp for air.

"Just a little toxic air that will knock you out in five minutes and kill you in ten minutes''. Ruri answered the two Hunters on what they inhaled, making them widen their eyes as the Children of Darkness landed in front of them.

"What…do…you…want!?" Scott shouted out at the children of Darkness with rage. "The location of your base''. Kimberly answered Scott's question with her arms crossed and eyes narrowed. "Your gang, the Skull Hunters are causing too much trouble for both Hunters and Digimon. That's why we're gonna stop your little rampage and end this''. Shadow told Scott and Mephiles with narrowed eyes and arms crossed.

"Go… to… hell!" Scott chocked out, desperately trying to breath and refusing to reveal the location of his gang's base. "We won't be going there, but you two will in 8 minutes''. Kimberly replied to Scott as she crossed her hands and eyes narrowed, keeping track of the time.

"So unless you guys want to play cards with the Devil, you'll tell us what we want to know''. Shadow told Scott and Mephiles as he powered down, glaring at the two Skull Hunter members. Scott and Mephiles tried to stay silent, but the lack of oxygen soon became too much. "Our hideout is at an island next to Hong Kong in an abandoned warehouse, you can't miss it''. Mephiles told the children of Darkness, his desire to live stronger than his loyalty to the Skull Hunters.

"Was that so hard? Thank you gentleman for your cooperation, now lights out''. Shadow said with a smirk as he held up his right fist, before he punched Scott and Mephiles' lights out with purple smoke coming out of their mouths. "Now all that's left is to go there and start the party''. Shadow said with a smirk on his face as he looked at Takumi, Ruri and Kimberly.

"Sorry, but we'll have to put a hold on the party. We have to head home and get things ready''. Ruri told her brother with a smile with her hands behind her, getting everyone's attention. "Care to explain what you mean by 'get things ready?'' Shadow asked his twin about what she means.

"Ready for your celebration. Grandfather and grandmother decided to host it as a celebration of your return and to celebrate your marriage. Everyone's gonna be there to celebrate the return of their prince''. Ruri told her brother with a smile, getting a confused look on Shadow's face.

"Yeah, that's the thing. Why is everyone calling me a prince and treating me like royalty?'' Shadow asked his twin about why the people and Digimon of Darkness are calling him a prince. "We've been wondering the same thing as well?'' Kimberly asked in wonder as well, having no idea why Shadow is treated like Royalty.

"It's best if Grandfather and Grandmother tell you guys. For now let's go home''. Ruri replied with a smile as she held her right hand up, before she snapped her fingers. The shadows under the children of Darkness erupted out of the ground and surrounded them, encasing them in Darkness.

Soon the darkness disappeared to reveal Shadow, Kimberly, Takumi and Ruri back in the village of Darkness and in front of the castle. "Oh, you've all come back. I was getting worried''. Kari greeted, getting the children of Darkness to look and see her siting down in front of the front doors of the castle in her normal outfit.

"Did we keep you waiting long?'' Shadow asked his wife with a smile as he walked towards her, which Kari smiled back at him as she held her right hand out to him. "Not too long, don't you know it's rude to keep your lovely wife waiting, Shadow''. Kari teased Shadow with a smile of amusement on her face, making Shadow's checks turn red a little.

"W-W-Well, why don't I make it up to you". Shadow replied to Kari nervously as he took her waiting hand with his left and pulled her up. Fate probably interfered because Kari ended up pressing against Shadow with her face just a few inches away.

"You know the only possible way to make it up to me''. Kari teased Shadow again, only her checks were red a little as well as she gave Shadow a quick peck on the lips, making him blush, Ruri giggle, Takumi confused and Kimberly sad.

Kari than pulled away and giggled at seeing Shadow's flushed face. "Come on Romeo, save it for later''. Kari told her husband as she dragged Shadow into the castle, who was busy blushing to even respond to her, leaving Ruri, Takumi and Kimberly outside. "Come on Takumi, I'll walk you home''. Ruri said to the little 5-year-old as she took his hand and began leading him to the village, leaving Kimberly alone, who still had a sad face.

'Why…why did she have to come and steal Shadow from me? I saw him first and I'm a child of Darkness unlike her so it should be me!' Kimberly thought to herself in anger at Kari. "Kimberly?'' A young voice called out as Kimberly turned to see Alleria walking up to her.

"Hi Alleria''. Kimberly greeted her young friend with a sad face. "Is something wrong?'' Alleria asked her friend in confusion, noticing her sad look. "It's alright sweetie, just a little tired''. Kimberly replied to her young friend as she walked past her, heading back to her house that she and her partner have been making.

Alleria watched her friend in concern, knowing what's wrong with her. Alleria may be young, but she knew what love is and Kimberly's feelings for Shadow. "You don't need to lie to me. I know you're sad because of Shadow and Kari''. Alleria said to her friend, getting the Cat of Darkness to flinch.

"I don't understand it. Why he choose some girl of Light!? He's a child of Darkness, so he should have chosen me over that… Banshee!" Kimberly growled out in rage, making Alleria take a step back in fear. "Maybe you should try hanging out with her, maybe you'll…" Alleria tried to talk some sense into her friend, only to receive a glare.

"That bimbo took my Dragon from me and now, she's gonna pay!'' Kimberly growled out in rage as she walked away from the castle and back to her house, where her partner and her live now, leaving Alleria alone in concern.

'I don't understand it. Why can't Yuna and Kimberly be happy for Shadow? I mean…3 years ago he told all of us that he loved someone else. I just don't understand'. Alleria thought to herself in sadness as she walked into the castle.


(In Shadow and Kari's room)

In the room that Shadow and Kari sleep in together, both young Digidestined were getting ready for bed. However, Shadow seems to be deep in thought. 'What does grandfather and grandmother have planned for tomorrow? Surly it can wait until the Skull Hunters are taken down and all the Digimon they've captured have been freed'. Shadow thought to himself with narrowed eyes, thinking deeply about tomorrow.

"Shadow''. Kari said to her husband, getting the child of darkness to look around to see his wife in a pink nightgown, already in bed and waiting. "It's getting late, and you'll need your energy for tomorrow''. Kari told her husband as she snuggled her pillow.

Sighing, Shadow joined Kari in bed, not bothering to get changed. "Night Kari''. Shadow said to his wife as he gave her a kiss on the check, making her blush and giggle. "Night handsome''. Kari replied to her husband as the married couple allowed themselves to rest.


(The next morning)

Kari groaned as she slowly opened her eyes, expecting the first thing she sees is her husband's face. However, Shadow was absent, making Kari slightly widen her eyes. Kari yawned as she got out of bed and walked to the windows, pushing the blinds away to reveal the sun and blue sky.

Hearing a swipe, Kari looked down to see Shadow already wide-awake, training with a weapon. Shadow had a Kusarigama in his hands, spinning the blade at lightning fast speeds. Kari sighed, but still smiled at seeing her husband training early in the morning. "He woke up an hour ago and went straight to training''. Kari heard Gatomon's voice, getting her to turn around to see her white Fusion Loader on the couch next to the bed.

Kari walked up to the couch and picked up her Fusion Loader, seeing Gatomon's face on the screen. "He wanted to let you have a little more rest, so he left you alone. Had a nice nap, sleeping beauty?" Gatomon teased her partner with a smirk, making Kari playfully narrow her eyes in response.

"Very funny. How's everyone doing?'' Kari asked her partner, wondering how her Digimon are doing. Hudiemon replaced Gatomon on the screen and answered for the small Champion Digimon. "We're doing good. Fully rested, and ready for some action''. Hudiemon answered with a smile, wanting to have some action.

"That's good''. Kari said with a smile, glad to hear everyone is doing well. Darcmon replaced Hudiemon on the screen, looking a little bit worried. "How are you doing? I mean…you're in another world again and have no way to contact your family?'' Darcmon asked in concern for her general.

Kari felt touched at Darcmon's concern, so she smiled at the Vaccine Digimon. "I'm still feeling a bit overwhelmed, but I'm alright as long as I'm with Shadow''. Kari answered to Darcmon, walking back to the window to watch her husband.

Shadow held out his Fusion Loader with his right hand, releasing Zanbamon, who readied his swords with the 12-year-old boy of darkness spinning his Kusarigama again. A flash came out of Kari's Fusion Loader, revealing to be QueenChessmon. "I am so watching this''. QueenChessmon stated with a smile as she held her Queen Stick with her right hand.

Zanbamon started off by charging at his general, who kept his ground with his eyes narrowed. Right when the Mega Digimon was about to run over his general, Shadow jumped over him, dodging a sword swipe.

While in midair, Shadow spun before throwing his kusarigama at Zanbamon's left sword. The kusarigama wrapped around Zanbamon's sword, making the Mega Digimon widen his eyes in surprise. Shadow landed on his feet, before he pulled on the kusarigama, pulling Zanbamon off his feet, before Shadow slammed him to the ground in front of him.

"That's gotta hurt". QueenChessmon stated with a smirk as she continued to watch the show. Zanbamon got back on his horse feet, smirking at his general, who continued to spin the kusarigama around. "As always, your strength is magnificent". Zanbamon praised his general, who smirked back at his digimon.

"Flattering won't help you". Shadow told the Mega Digimon, who smirked at his swords, before he held up his right sword. "Now let's see how you handle this! Hunting Knife!" Zanbamon called out, before he charged once more at Shadow, only much faster this time.

Shadow let go of the kusarigama, which disappeared into darkness. Appearing at Shadow's hip was his katana in its scabbard. Shadow pulled out his katana with his right hand, before he charged at Zanbamon. When they were in close rang, both Shadow and Zanbamon swung their blades.

Both blades made contact, creating an explosion of energy. Both Shadow and Zanbamon landed on the ground, having leaped away from each other before the explosion happened. "That should do for morning exercise". Shadow said as he placed his katana back into its scabbard.

"Indeed. We don't wanna get carried away and destroy something by accident". Zanbamon said in agreement as he lowered his swords. Shadow brought out his Fusion Loader with his right hand and held it out to Zanbamon. "Take a break for a while. I'll call you out for breakfast". Shadow told his Mega Digimon, thinking he should rest for now.

"Alright then. See ya later". Zanbamon bid farewell to his general as he turned into a flash that went into the black Fusion Loader. Shadow's kanta disappeared as the 12-year-old stared at his Fusion Loader, before Grimdramon's face appeared on the screen. "Good morning Shadow". Grimdramon greeted his partner, who smiled at the Dragon Digimon of Darkness.

"Morning Grimdramon. Sorry that I brought you along with me for my morning exercise". Shadow apologized to his partner, giving a small nervous smile. "Don't sweat it. Where you go, I go. Anyway, I've noticed you've changed a bit". Grimdramon said with a smile on his face, making Shadow raise an eyebrow.

"Oh? I have?" Shadow questioned as he began walking back into the castle. "It's just, you seem a little more relax and happy now". Grimdramon explained, getting Shadow confused by his partner's words. "What do you mean?" Shadow asked his partner, wondering what Grimdramon means. "Well, back in Kari's world, you had a sadness in your eyes. It's still there, but not as strong as it used to be". Grimdramon explained what he meant to his partner, who stopped for a moment, before he continued on to the dining room.

"I guess… seeing old friends again and finally meeting my biological family. What I thought would never happened has happen. I'm…happy that we came back to this world". Shadow explained to his partner Digimon, a smile forming on his lips. Beelzemon's face replaced Grimdramon on the screen of the Fusion Loader.

"We understand how you feel, kid". Beelzemon told his general, before Ignitemon replaced him on the Fusion Loader screen. "We got to see Mikey and the others again after so long, including sis!" Ignitemon cried out in joy, his image on the Fusion Loader changing to a happy face.

Shadow smiled at seeing his Digimon happy, before he held out his Fusion Loader. "Reload Grimdramon!" Shadow exclaimed as his Fusion Loader's screen lit up, before a flash came out to reveal Grimdramon. "Let's go join everyone for breakfast". Shadow told his partner with a smile as they both continued walking towards the dinning room.

Soon the two partners opened the dinning room and saw their family gathered around the table full of food for breakfast, wearing the same clothes they had when they met. Shadow and Ruri's grandparents were sitting across each other, their partners nowhere in sight because they were too large for the room. Ruri was sitting next to her grandmother with her partner, Darkwindramon next to her.

Sitting next to Shadow and Ruri's grandfather was Alleria and her partner, Shadowjackelmon, eating toast with butter on it. Finally sitting near the end of the left side was Kari, Gatomon and Grimsalamon. Kari had changed into her outfit, while Gatomon was holding onto her daughter so she could reach the food.

"Morning!" Shadow and Grimdramon called out, getting everyone's attention as they saw the last members of their family enter the room. "Good morning, big brother!" Alleria greeted her now official big brother with a big smile, one that he returned.

It took some time for Shadow to convince his grandparents to adopt the young 5-year-old, but eventually they agreed and adopted Alleria as their third grandchild. Shadow and Grimdramon sat down on their chairs, sitting away from their wives. "Did you sleep well?" Shadow and Ruri's grandmother asked her grandson, who picked up a glass of tea and slowly began to drink it.

"I had enough rest and now I'm ready to take out the Skull Hunters". Shadow replied to his grandmother, his focus on taking out the group of hunters who steal Digimon from other hunters. "Can't you do that some other time? We already have plans for today". Ruri asked her brother as she took a bite out of a purple grape.

"Sorry, but this is something that needs to be taken care of as quick as possible. Though I already told Takumi, Rouge, Zero and Ash to meet up at 6pm. We'll attack under the cover of the night". Shadow explained to his family as he closed his eyes as he enjoyed the taste of his tea. "Cleaver. Our people always fight best at the dark". Shadow's grandmother stated, looking impressed with his grandson's strategy.

"That reminds me, I still don't know much about you two. Perhaps we could know each other better if we tell each other about our lives?" Shadow suggested to his family as he opened his eyes. Shadow's blood relatives looked a little surprised, Alleria looked like this was normal, Kari was smiling at her husband and the Digimon had the same thoughts as their partners.

"That's a good idea Shadow, this could help us know each other better. How about I start us off? My name is Kari Kamiya turned Nonaka, I've recently turned 12-years-old and I have an older brother named Tai". Kari began the introductions by introducing herself first, getting everyone, except Shadow and Grimdramon to look at her.

"That was very kind of you dear, but why is your last name two different names?" Shadow's grandmother asked her supposed granddaughter-in-law. "The reason why is because the name 'Nonaka' is my last name". Shadow answered for his wife, getting his grandfather, grandmother and his two sisters to look at him.

"But…that isn't our last name. Why is that your last name?" Ruri asked her brother, who looked at her with slightly narrowed eyes. "Simple, 2 years ago, I was adopted by a family". Shadow answered, making his family widen their eyes in shock. "You were adopted?" Alleria asked her brother in shock that he was really adopted.

"Yes I was, but I was separated from them. I kept the last name they gave me to always remember them for their kindness". Shadow explained with a soft smile on his face as he remembered Rika, his adopted mother and adopted grandmother. "Wow, you must have really cared for your adopted family?" Ruri asked her brother, who nodded to her

"Speaking of which, what is my last name? My true last name?" Shadow asked her family, having always wondered by his real last has been. "That's simple sweetheart. Our last name is Midnight". Shadow and Ruri's grandmother answered, getting Shadow to look a little surprised.

"That's kind anti-climatic". Shadow said after a few moments. "What, were you expecting something?" Ruri questioned her brother with a smirk on her face. "To be honest, I have no idea". The Digidestined of Darkness replied to his sister, before he remembered something.

"Do you…know what my name is? My real name?" Shadow asked his family, wondering if what Ruri said is true that they don't know his real name. It seemed Ruri was right as Shadow's grandparents shook their head. "Unfortunately, we don't know. Your parents had decided your name, but didn't tell us. They wanted it to be a surprise". Shadow's grandfather told him, looking sad that he doesn't know his real name.

"I'm sorry brother". Alleria apologized to her brother, sad that she knows her real name and Shadow doesn't know his real name. "It's alright Alleria. Besides, it doesn't really matter". Shadow replied to his sister with a smile, getting his family's attention.

"What do you mean it doesn't matter?" Shadow's grandmother asked her grandson, wondering why he said it doesn't matter if he knows his real name or not. Shadow was silent for a moment, before he spoke.

"Who I am doesn't matter, it's what I choose to be that counts. I may never know my real name, but I'm at peace with the name I have. My name is 'Shadow Nonaka' and it is the name I choose to live by". Shadow explained what he meant to his grandparents with a smile, feeling at peace with the name he has, even though it isn't his real name.

Kari, Grimdramon, Gatomon and Grimsalamon gave Shadow a smile, having heard those words before, but they still made them proud of Shadow. Ruri, Alleria, Shadowjackelmon, Ruri and Shadow's grandparents and Darkwindramon looked at Shadow in disbelief after hearing his words, but they soon smiled at him. "Well said big brother". Ruri told her brother, happy that he remains strong even though he may never know his birth name.

"Thank you Ruri. Now, I believe it's time you introduced yourselves". Shadow replied to his sister as he continued to drink his tea, making Ruri blush a little in embarrassment. "Yeah, you're right. My name is Ruri Midnight, the Princess of Darkness". Ruri introduced herself with a smile, getting Shadow, Grimdramon, Kari, Gatomon and Grimsalamon curious.

"And I'm Darkwindramon, the White Dragon of Darkness". Darkwindramon introduced herself with a boy, increasing the curiosity. "My turn now, I believe. My name is Maroochy Midnight, former Queen of Darkness". Shadow and Ruri's grandmother, now named Maroochy introduced herself with a smile.

"At last I'm next. My name is Shyam Midnight, former King of Darkness". Shadow and Ruri's grandfather, now named Shyam introduced himself, increasing Shadow's curiosity. "Why are you guys referring to yourselves like we're some kind of royal family?" Shadow questioned his family, wondering why they're acting like this.

"It's because we are!" Ruri answered her brother, who was still confused. "You're gonna need to explain better than that". Shadow told his sister as he placed his teacup down, making Ruri sweat drop, as she knew her brother was right. "I'll explain for you to understand Shadow, though you might want to make yourself confortable because this'll take some time". Shyam told his grandson, who shrugged in response.

"First, have you noticed that our people wield the powers of darkness?" Maroochy asked her grandson, starting off for her husband. "Yeah, I first learned that there were others like me when I meet Alleria long ago". Shadow replied to his grandmother as he gave his new little sister a smile, one that she returned.

"What you didn't know is that you're a part of human species called 'the humans of darkness". Shyam told his grandson, immediately getting his attention. "I'm listening". Shadow stated as he continued to have his cup of tea.

"Long ago during the ancient past before humans learned how to talk, a group of humans came in contact with the darkness. The darkness transformed them, but they remained as humans. They were gifted to wield the powers of the darkness and were even taken to a world of darkness. The darkness allowed our people to connect with their inner creature, for instance, Ruri's inner creature is a white dragon". Maroochy started off for her husband as Shadow and Grimdramon listened carefully.

"As the planet earth continued to evolve slowly, our people accelerated past what normal humans imagined. We learned to take the forms of our inner creatures, wielding the power that the darkness granted us. However, among our people, there was one whose power far surpassed everyone else's. This person's inner creature was a dragon. Eventually, this man became our leader and soon, became the first King of Darkness". Shyam continued off where his wife started.

"King of Darkness?" Grimsalamon questioned, having a confused look. "Yes, young one. Centuries past and soon, our people came into contact with Digimon". Maroochy told the young Digimon of Twilight, getting Grimdramon and Gatomon's attention. "I love this part". Darkwindramon commented with a smile.

"When earth first created data, we found digital life and even a new world". Maroochy explained with a smile, getting Shadow to narrow his eyes. "The Digital World, right?" Shadow questioned his grandmother, who nodded to her grandson. "Correct dear". Maroochy replied to her grandson with a smile.

"Our people made contact with the Digital World and took Digimon as our partners. However, our most of our Digimon had darkness absorbed into them, transforming them into Digimon of Darkness. Take your partner, Grimdramon for instance. He is a Digimon of Darkness". Shyam explained as he gestured to the Dragon of Darkness.

"We figured that our long ago". Grimdramon informed his partner's family. "Wow, great detection skills, Sherlock". Darkwindramon told her brother with a sarcastic tone, even though she had an amused look on her face. "Grandmother, grandfather, our people weren't the only people to have power granted to them, correct?" Shadow asked his grandparents, getting their immediate attention.

"How do you know about that?" Maroochy asked her grandson, wanting to know how their people weren't the only ones gifted with people. "I met some people 3 years ago that used the power of Light". Shadow replied to his grandmother, remembering 9 people who were the opposite of his team.

Shyam sighed heavily, before he spoke. "You are right, child. Our people weren't the only people gifted with power. The Light created its own race of people, the People of Light. Since ancient time, our people and the People of Light never got along and would often fight. However, 1000 hundred years ago, our people and the People of Light agreed to live in peace with each other. Even our daughter and your mother was friends with the Princess of Light". Shyam explained to his grandson as he began to smile happily as he thought of his daughter.

Hearing about his mother made Shadow accidently released a small bit of darkness in his left hand, shattering the teacup. However, no one paid attention to the broken cup as Shadow gave his grandparents a sad look. "What, was my mother like?" Shadow asked his grandparents, wishing to know more about his birth mother.

"She was a kind and beautiful woman. She was always patient, cared for others, never wished to see her friends hurt and even chose to fight alone so that nobody, but her would get hurt". Shyam told his grandmother about his mother, getting Kari to look a bit surprised. 'She… sounds a little bit like Shadow'. Kari thought to herself in surprise, seeing the similarities that her husband has with his mother.

"We named her after an old friend of us. Her name was Varie". Maroochy revealed her daughter's name, getting Shadow to look slightly surprised. 'Varie? Didn't Yuuko tell me that her childhood friend's name was Varie as well?' Shadow thought to herself, thinking back to when Kari's mother told him about her childhood friend.

"What was my mother's childhood friend's name?" Shadow asked his grandparents, getting everyone to look at him, wondering why he would ask that. "Her name was Yuuko". Shyam answered, getting Shadow, Kari, Grimdramon, Gatomon and Grimsalamon to widen their eyes.

'Yuuko? But that's my mother's name? Do they mean that that the Princess of Light is my mother's name?' Kari thought to herself, thinking deeply about what her in-laws have told her and her husband. "What…happened to the Princess of Light?" Shadow asked his parents, wanting to know if Kari's mother and the Princess of Light was the same person.

"16 years ago, Yuuko disappeared from her home, the Kingdom of Light. No one has heard from her for a very long time. Her family's been worried about her, especially her son". Maroochy told her son and his wife with a sad look, making them stop dead in their tracks. "I…I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" Shadow asked, wanting to be sure he heard right.

"Her family's been worried about her, especially her son". Maroochy repeated confused as to why her son requested that. Shadow and Kari looked at each other with looks of disbelief. "Umm, excuse me?" Grimsalamon questioned, getting everyone's attention. "What happened to the King of Darkness?" The little Twilight Digimon asked, wondering what happened to the most powerful user of darkness.

"He ruled for a very long time, leading our people. Unfortunately, our people can still die of old age and he died at he age of 95-years-old". Shyam told the young Digimon, making her let out a sad cry. "However, his bloodline didn't die. Truth be told, Shyam, Ruri and you are his descendants Shadow". Maroochy told her grandson, who widened his eyes.

"You're joking, right?" Shadow asked, hoping that this was just a prank. "No, we're not. Big brother, you're actually the Prince of Dakrness and will become the next King of Darkness". Ruri told her brother, making Grimdramon, Kari, Gatomon, Grimsalamon, Alleria and Shadowjackelmon gasp in disbelief.

Shadow on the other hand was not amused. "Okay, this is just getting ridiculous! I don't know what game you're playing, but trust me when I say this; I am not royal blood or royalty. I'm just a creature of darkness that fights". Shadow told his family as he finished his cup of tea, making him family look at him in concern. "But Shadow, what if what they're saying is true". Alleria said to her adopted big brother, still a bit surprised that Shadow was actually a prince.

"Even if it is true, I have no desire to become king". Shadow stated as he got off the chair and began to leave the dinning room. "You can't deny your heritage". Shyan told his grandson, who stopped dead in his tracks before he turned to look at his grandfather. "If you want a new ruler, just have Ruri become the Queen of Darkness". Shadow replied to his grandfather, before he left the dinning room.

"Shadow!" Grimdramon exclaimed as he flew after his partner, leaving Kari, Gatomon and Grimsalamon alone with the family of darkness. "Forgive my husband, it's just that he has never really liked royalty before and I kinda understand why he's reacting like this. He's been an orphan for a long time, and it must be a little shocking for him to learn that he's a prince". Kari explained to her husband's family, understanding why he reacted like that, getting them to turn to look at her.

"I guess it's to be expected. To be honest, we have no idea what those two have been through in their lives". Darkwindramon commented as she took a bite out of her steak. "Say, what kind of life has Shadow been living? You must know because you're his wife, correct?" Ruri asked her sister-in-law, who looked down at her soup in sadness.

"To be honest, I met Shadow when I was 8-years-old and when he was 9-years-old". Kari confessed to the family of darkness. "I've known Grimdramon a bit longer than Kari's known Shadow". Gatomon confessed as well, looking down at her paw where her scar was hidden, thinking back to how she met Grimdramon when he was trapped in a cage.

"9-years-old? That must have been a year before I met Shadow!" Alleria called out in realization, getting Ruri, Darkwindramon, Shyan and Maroochy to look at her. "Really?" Shyan asked his new granddaughter, who nodded to him. "Now that I think about it, I remember Shadow and Grimdramon telling us about you two". Shadowjacklemon remarked, getting Kari and Gatomon to look at her, while Grimsalamon enjoyed her meal.

"Yeah, he did. Shadow told me that you were the kindest person he ever met and that you saved him". Alleria said with a smile, thinking back to 3 years ago when Shadow told her about Kari. What Alleria said got her new family to widen their eyes. "Saved him? From what?" Ruri asked in concern for her brother, making Kari gave her a reassuring smile.

Kari was about to answer, but Shadow then stepped into the room with Grimdramon by his side, getting everyone to look at him and his partner. "She saved me from myself". Shadow answered as he retook his seat with Grimdramon doing the same. "What do you mean sweetheart?" Maroochy asked her grandson, confused by his words.

"4 years ago, Shadow was recruited by an evil Digimon called Myotismon to help him cover the world in darkness. Shadow, being angry with the world, agreed and was his minion for some time and did his dirty work". Grimdramon explained for his partner, frowning as he thought about the evil Ultimate Level Digimon.

"Why would you serve an evil Digimon?" Shyam asked his grandson, giving him a disappointed look. Shadow was silent, refusing to look at his grandfather in the eye, but Kari wouldn't allow it. "Shadow was angry at the world. See when he was very young, people from an orphanage tried to capture him and force him to an orphanage, but he escaped every time". Kari began to explain to defend her husband, getting the family of darkness to look at her.

"Children and teenagers called him a freak because of his hair and eyes, avoiding him like he was a plague. He was even jealous at seeing children with their parents, all of that together hurt him so much that he began to hate the world. He was all alone". Kari continued, frowning in sadness that she didn't meet Shadow sooner.

Ruri, Alleria, Shadowjackelmon, Darkwindramon, Shyam and Maroochy looked at Shadow with concerned looks, Alleria more because she went through something similar. Kari was about to continue, but Shadow beat her to it. "When I was doing Myotismon's dirty work, I first met Kari when she was being picked on. She was the first one who didn't treat me as a freak. We became friends that played together, have fun together and before I knew it, I fell for her". Shadow explained as he gave Kari a smile, making her blush.

"Oh, Shadow". Kari said in a swooning way, before she leaned in and gave Shadow a kiss on the cheek, making him blush and Ruri giggle. "When the time came for me to choose between my revenge and Kari, I chose her. That was easily the best choice of my life. So much good came from that one decision". Shadow said with a smile on his face, thinking about all his adventures.

"I see. I'm amazed that one girl could change your whole life". Shyam said with a smile on his face. "It was more than just that. It was also thanks to my partner Grimdramon. If it wasn't for them, I'd have lost my way a long time ago". Shadow told his grandfather, giving his partner a smile, one that he returned.

"We've faced countless enemies and we emerged victorias every time. Recently, we defeated that same fang face that we once served, MaloMyotismon". Grimdramon told the family of darkness, growling at the mention of MaloMyotismom. "From the way you speak of this Digimon, I assume you have a bad history with this 'MaloMyotismon', correct?" Darkwindramon asked her brother, who nodded to her.

"You assumed correctly, sister. I lost something important and he managed to get it. Not to mention what he did to Gatomon!" Grimdramon growled in rage as he thought about what the evil Virus Type did to his wife, making look at her husband in concern as she wrapped her tail around his.

"What was so important?" Shadowjackelmon asked her brother figure, who looked at her. "It was this". Shadow answered for his partner as he held up his hands. Darkness appeared around Shadow's hands, before it cleared to reveal the Book of Darkness, making Shyam, Maroochy, Ruri and Darkwindramon widen their eyes.

"The Book of Darkness!" Maroochy called out in shock as she shot out of her chair, getting Shadow to look at his grandmother with a curious look on his face. "I'm guessing that this is important to our people, correct?" Shadow questioned as he handed the book over to his grandmother, who immediately opened the book and started searching through it. "I thought it was lost long ago, but it's been with you all along". Maroochy said to herself as she stopped at a page, before she began to read.

A dark portal appeared on the table, before a lynx with dark fur and purple eyes appeared, hissing at the old woman. "Stand down girl". Shadow gently ordered the lynx, who turned to look at Shadow and obeyed. "There's no mistake, it's the real Book of Darkness". Shyan stated as he took the book from his wife and looked at it.

"What's so important about that book? I know how important it is to Shadow, but why is it important to the people of darkness?" Kari asked her grandmother-in-law, wondering why they were reaction this way to the book her husband has had for a long time now.

"This book has been passed down through our family for generations. This book teaches us how to communicate with the Creatures of Darkness and to wield the power of the elements. This book has so much in it that we can't even tell you in just one day". Shyan explained to Kari as his eyes focused on the words written on the book.

"Let me read it, please?" Ruri asked her grandfather, who handed it over to her, who started reading it straight away. "Does that also including wielding the power of Light?" Shadow questioned his grandparents, who faced him with serious expressions. "No. There has never been one who could wield the power of both Light and Darkness". Maroochy answered her grandson, who gained a smug look on his face.

"Never, till now". Shadow stated as he held up his left hand, before the life side of his body changed. The left side his hair, clothes, shoes, gloves and left eye changed to pure white, while the right side of his body remained in its natural colour.

The looks on Shyan, Maroochy, Ruri, Darkwindramon, Alleria and Shadowjackelmon's looks were priceless as they could feel the power of light in shadow. The only ones not affected were Kari, Gatomon, Grimsalamon and Grimdramon. "Now you're just showing off". Grimdramon remarked at seeing Shadow show his Twilight mode.

"H-How…?" Ruri asked in shock at how her brother has the power of light. "To be honest, I have no idea. One day when I was fighting a program called the D-Reaper. Not that I was complaining thought, it proved to be one of my toughest challenges. In the end though, it was defeated because of teamwork and trust". Shadow explained to his sister, remembering when he unlocked the power of light in the battle against the D-Reaper in the Tamers World.

"Incredible, just how powerful are you?" Shyan asked his grandson, wondering how powerful he is. "To be honest, I have no idea". Shadow replied to his grandfather with a shrug, having never truly been forced to go all out. "If you want, we could spare to see how strong you are?" Ruri suggested, having been curious if she was anywhere near her brother's level of power.

"Not to be insulting, but you're nowhere near my level of power". Shadow told his sister, knowing just from skirmishing with her that she's not even close to half his full strength. "I agree big bro seems stronger than ever before". Alleria said in agreement, having seen her brother train recently and can tell he is much stronger than 3 years ago.

"Perhaps it would be better if I trained him? Come, I have something I wanna show you". Shyan told his grandson as he got off his chair and began walking out of the dinning room. Shadow watched his grandfather, before he turned to look at his partner. "Keep an eye on Kari and the others". Shadow told his partner, who nodded to him.

"Understood". Grimdramon replied to his partner, who smiled at him, before he began to follow his grandfather. Now it was just Kari, Gatomon, Grimsalamon, Ruri, Darkwindramon, Maroochy, Alleria and Shadowjackelmon. "So, how'd you meet my brother?" Darkwindramon asked her new sister-in-law, getting Gatomon and Grimdramon to look at her.

"I remember you mentioned an old friend 3 years ago". Shadowjackelmon remarked, getting Grimdramon to look at her with a smile. "That old friend was Gatomon". Grimdramon told the Virus Type as he gave his wife a wink, making her slightly blush. "So, how'd you meet? Was it love at first sight?" Maroochy asked, wanting to know how Grimdramon and Gatomon first met.

"You could say that". Gatomon replied, blushing a bit as she gave her daughter a cookie. "The place however, wasn't romantic". Grimdramon stated with a frown, getting Alleria curious. "What do you mean?" Alleria asked her adopted brother's partner, wondering what he meant by that.

"We met a little bit after Myotismon acquired the book, I was in a cage to keep my form hidden. I was slowly beginning to starve; however Gatomon came and gave me food. We talked a bit and got along well". Grimdramon began to explain how he met Gatomon, who smiled fondly as she remembered the day she met her true love.

"You even called me beautiful". Gatomon added with a blush, getting Grimdramon to smile at her. "That hasn't changed, you're still the most beautiful Digimon I've ever met". Grimdramon told his wife, who held her blushing cheeks. "And you're still the most handsome dragon I've ever met". Gatomon replied to her husband, having the urge to hug her husband.

"Hey! What about me?" Grimsalamon questioned as she flapped her wings and started flying above her parents, who gave her a smile. "You're the greatest thing that's ever happened to us". Gatomon told her daughter as she caught the flying Digimon with her paws.

"Wow, when did you decide to have kids?" Ruri asked her brother's Digimon, really liking the story, getting the Virus Type to look at her. "Well, it wasn't exactly planned. We've been separated for a while and a week after our reunion; I kinda married her in our species way". Grimdramon slowly began to answer as his face turned a bit more purple than usual as he remembered the night he first mated with Gatomon.

Gatomon must have been thinking the same thing because she was slowly starting to blush heavily, heck even Kari was blushing, as she knew what Grimdramon was talking about. "Oh, I see. You and her did the thin-". Darkwindramon began, only for her brother to interrupt her.

"Don't even finish that sentence!" Grimdramon snapped at his sister with his cheeks purple. This made Darkwindramon start laughing, with Ruri giggling. "Okay, okay, I'll keep quiet. I'm just having a bit of fun". Darkwindramon promised her brother, having a small smile. "Grrraaahhh!" Grimdramon growled at his sister with his cheeks still purple.

"Kari, can I ask you a question?" Maroochy asked her granddaughter-in-law, who looks at her with her cheeks returning to their normal colour. "What is it?" Kari questioned the former Queen of Darkness, wondering what it is she wants to ask. "How… do you posses the power of Light?" Maroochy questioned Kari, who looked a bit surprised at the question.

"What do you mean?" Gatomon asked Maroochy, wondering why she wants to know how her partner has the power of Light. "You see, there are only two ways for someone to be gifted with the power of Light. One is where the Light gifts you the power, or if you're the child of a Creature of Light, meaning one of your parents had to have the power of Light themselves". Maroochy explained to the Vaccine Digimon on how people are gifted with the powers of Light.

"I see. To be honest, I don't know how. I became aware of these powers two years ago when I was fighting a Digimon called Argomon". Kari told her grandmother-in-law, thinking back to when she first used her powers in the Frontier World. "I see. What of your parents then?" The former Queen of Darkness asked, getting Kari to tense up a bit.

"My dad's name is Susumu Kamiya and my mother's name is Yuuko Kamiya". Kari answered her grandmother-in-law, who widened her eyes at one of the names mentioned. "Yuuko? Wasn't that the name of my mother's friend and missing Princess of Light?" Ruri questioned, thinking back to when her grandparents told her about her mother's close friend.

"It is the same name, but I'm pretty sure my mother isn't the same 'Yuuko' that you mention". Kari told Maroochy, who narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean by that?" Maroochy asked Kari for the meaning of her words. "My mother doesn't have any powers of Light, if she did, she would have used them to protect us 4 years ago. The only 'power' she has is her cooking". Kari explained to Maroochy, shivering, along with Gatomon and Grimsalamon, at the thought of Yuuko's cooking.

Alleria took notice of Kari shivering and was curious. "Is her cooking bad?" The 5-year-old asked her sister-in-law, who turned to look at her. "I don't even know how it's referred to food. This one time she made a smoothie, my brother Tai drank it and was crying a minute later". Kari replied to Alleria, chuckling at the memory.

"That doesn't sound pleasant". Shadowjackelmon stated, looking a bit uncomfortable. "You have no idea". Gatomon told the younger Digimon, having a few unpleasant memories about Kari's mother. "Perhaps you are right. The Yuuko I knew wouldn't hesitate to fight for her loved ones. Perhaps it's just a coincidence your mother has the same name". Maroochy said, looking a bit disappointed.

"I'm sorry that my mum isn't the one you're searching for". Kari apologized to the former Queen of Darkness, who smiled at her. "It's alright dear. Thank you for telling me about your parents". Maroochy thanked Kari with a smile, one that she returned as she took a bite of a sandwich.

"May I ask what did Shyan want with my partner?" Grimdramon questioned, wondering what Shyan wanted to show his partner. "He probably wants to show him our father's Halberd". Ruri answered as she took a bite out of her bacon, getting the Virus Type's attention.

"Helberd?" Grimdramon questioned, sounding interested. "It was our father's weapon and boy, it weights a ton. I couldn't even lift the thing". Ruri told her brother's partner, looking a bit embarrassed, getting Kari curious. "How much does it weight?" Kari asked the Princess of Darkness, wanting to know how heavy the Helberd is.

"To be honest, I have no idea". Ruri replied to Kari, having no thought of its exact weight. "Big brother can wield it, no problem!" Alleria remarked with a confident smile, getting Maroochy curious on why she thinks that. "Once my husband and grandson return, we shall see". Maroochy told the group, looking at the door that lead to where her husband and grandson is.


(Meanwhile with Shadow and Shyan)

Shadow patiently tapped his foot against the ground repeatedly as he waited for his grandfather to return. Currently, the revealed Prince of Darkness was waiting in a open hall, leaning his back against the wall with his arms crossed and eyes closed.

Earlier, after stopping in this hallway, Shyan requested Shadow to wait for him to retrieve and bring back something, a 'gift' for his grandson. Shadow, although curious, decided to humour his grandfather and agreed, which lead to here with Shadow patiently waiting.

"Your grandfather is talking his time". ChaosGallantmon stated from inside Shadow's Fusion Loader, getting the Prince of Darkness' attention. "It's just been 3 minutes". Shadow told his Digimon as he opened his eyes, not feeling irritated in the slightest. "You're too patient, you know that?" Volcdramon told his general from inside the Fusion Loader.

Shadow uncrossed his arms and brought out his Fusion Loader, holding it with his right hand. On the screen showed Voldcramon's face, looking a bit irritated. "And you're too inpatient". The 12-year-old replied to the Ultimate Level Digimon, who growled at bit. The screen changed to Slayerdramon's face.

"Our prince is right, it hasn't been long and Shyan is nearing his 60s, so we should be patient". Slayerdramon told his comrades, agreeing with Shadow that Volcdramon was being a bit impatient. "Prince?" Shadow questioned as he had an annoyed looks on his face. "You look like you don't like being called a prince". Dynasmon remarked as his face replaced Slayerdramon on the Fusion Loader.

"Wither or not my grandfather's words be true or not, I am no prince. Do please don't call me that, I really hate it?" Shadow requested, looking away from his Fusion Loader with a frown on his face. "Wow, I was starting to think there was nothing you could hate besides evil Digimon". BigMamemon commented as he replaced Dynasmon on the Fusion Loader.

"Master, why do you hate to be called a 'prince' so much? You've never seemed to hate those of royal blood like Thomas and Relena". Raijinmon asked his general as he replaced BigMamemon on the screen, wondering why Shadow hates to be called a prince. "I don't hate those of royal blood or the title 'prince', it just feels wrong when I'm being called that". Shadow answered his Mega Level Digimon, turning to look back at his Fusion Loader.

"Let me guess, it's because you were an orphanage most of your life, correct?" Arcadiamon questioned Shadow, his face replacing Raijinmon's face on the Fusion Loader. "You guessed correctly. Ever since I was young, I've experienced a life those with royal blood have never experienced. So, being called a prince just doesn't feel right to me". Shadow explained to his Digimon why he doesn't like to be called a prince.

"Even if you hate being called one, you are still the Prince of Darkness, and someday the next King of Darkness". Shadow heard his grandfather's voice, getting him to look away from his Fusion Loader to see Shyan walking up to him with two Devimon, who were carrying a very big Halberd.

"I already told you, I'm not becoming a king. It's not for me". Shadow told his grandfather, stubbornly refusing to become the next King of Darkness. Shadow then took notice of the Halberd that the two Devimon were carrying. "And just what is that?" The young Prince of Darkness questioned, wondering why two Digimon were carrying it.

"This is your father's prized weapon, his great Halberd". Shyan answered Shadow, getting his full attention as he put his Fusion Loader away. "This belonged to my father?" Shadow questioned once more as the two Devimon struggled to place it upright. "Indeed, this Halberd was so powerful that only he could wield it". The retired King of Darkness answered his grandson as Shadow walked up to the weapon.

"Why could he only wield it?" Shadow asked as he placed his right hand against the Halberd. "Take hold of it and you'll see". Shyan replied to his grandson, getting him to turn towards him for a second, before he looked back at the weapon that was 3 times his size. "You do know this is like 3 times my size, right?" Shadow questioned his grandfather, pointing out the height difference.

"Oh I know, truth be told, it was bigger than your father as well". Shyan answered his grandson, getting his curiosity. "What… was my father's name?" Shadow asked as he rubbed the weapon with his hand. "His name was Raven". Shyan answered immediately, smiling as he thought about the man who stole his daughter's heart. "Like the bird". Shadow questioned out of nowhere, getting Shyan to sweat dropped.

"Y-yes, like the bird". Shyan answered his grandson as Shadow finally took hold of the Halberd with his right hand. Shyan looked at the two Devimon still holding the Halberd up and nodded to them, who nodded back and let go of the weapon. Shadow widened his eyes in surprise as the weapon fell to the ground, even with him still holding on to it. "Wow. Your grandfather wasn't joking when he said that thing was heavy!" Ghoulmon Black commented from inside Shadow's Fusion Loader that was in his pant's pocket.

"No. No, he wasn't joking". Shadow stated as he wrapped his left hand around the Halberd and gripped it tightly with both his hands. The weapon glowed black as it shrunk down a bit, only now being twice the size of Shadow. Shyan was about to speak, before he, along with the two Devimon gasped in disbelief as Shadow lifted the weapon off the ground and held it up in a stance.

(Play Dynasty Warriors 9 Lu Bu's theme)

Shadow thrust out the Halberd two times, before thrusting it out twice. Shadow swung the Halberd around himself, before stopping in a stance. The Prince of Darkness started spinning the weapon in his hands as Shyan and the Devimon could only watch in disbelief. The Halberd began to glow black as Shadow gave one final swing of the weapon, unleashing a black blast in the shape of a slice.

The attack went and complete smashed through the furniture. Shadow started taking calm breaths, feeling a bit exhausted. "Humph, well done". Shyan praised his grandson, proud of him for wielding the weapon that he could not. Shadow sighed as he placed the end of the Halberd down on the ground, looking up at the blade.

"I always wondered if my parents were like me and if they were, perhaps they could train me. However, I lost hope that I had any remaining family alive, or if they cared about me at all. I have… I have trampled all over that wish". Shadow said with sad eyes, before he picked the Halberd up and held it out to the two Devimon.

Not needing to be told, the two Devimon picked up the weapon and struggled to carry it out of the room. "I could… train you instead if you'd like? You're strong, no doubt about that, but you can still reach new heights". Shyan offered to Shadow, who shook his head in response.

"I'd appreciate that, but you haven't seen me in action. I haven't seen your level of power yet either, but I know that currently, I am way stronger than you. I will continue to grow stronger by myself. The Dragon of Darkness will continue to sharpen his fangs and one day, destroy the God of Death!" Shadow declared with narrowed eyes, before he began to walk away, unaware of his grandfather's shocked look on his face.

'How… does he know about the God of Death?' Shyan questioned inside his head in disbelief, before he focused on his grandson. "Shadow, wait! The God of Death is immortal and-!" The former King of Darkness tried to warn his grandson, who cut him off. "I know, but that won't stop me from destroying him. Everything has a weakness, and that includes immortality". Shadow replied to his grandfather as he soon left his sights as he turned a corner.

Shyan stood still in disbelief at hearing his grandson's words and his knowledge of the God of Death. 'How? How does he know about the God of Death? Does he know that his parents were killed by the God of Death?' Shyan thought to himself, thinking about his grandson as he soon followed after him.

(Music end)


(Much later in DigiQuartz)

In the real of DigiQuartz, Shadow, Grimdramon, Rouge, Keramon, Ash, BlackGabumon, Zero, DemiDevimon, Nene and Lunamon were standing above a cliff, looking down at an abandoned warehouse, with lots of humans and Digimon around it. One thing they all had in common was the skull mark on them.

Earlier after his talk with his grandfather, Shadow gathered Grimdramon, Rouge, Keramon, Ash, BlackGabumon, Zero and DemiDevimon together. The eight set out towards the Skull Hunters' base of operations. Before they left, Shadow told his family and said he'd return soon. Maroochy and Shyan gave their grandson their blessing, with Ruri and Alleria wishing him luck.

Kari and Gatomon wished their husbands luck as well and soon they set out. Arriving at Hong Kong, Shadow contacted Nene and asked if she wanted to lead a hand with dealing with the Skull Hunters. The idol agreed since she was free at the moment and wanted to stop the group of Hunters that were causing trouble in DigiQuarts.

Which lead to here, with them all looking over the Skull Hunters' base of operations. "This should be fun". Shadow stated with a smirk as darkness covered his right hand, before it cleared to reveal his katana. "No doubt about that". Zero said in agreement as he cracked his knuckles.

"It would appear all they have are Ultimate Level Digimon, mostly SkullSatamon". Gabumon informed the group, taking notice of all the current Digimon out. "That just makes things even more interesting". DemiDevimon told his friend as he flapped his wings, grinning widely.

"We believe we should suit up now". Keramon stated, getting nods of agreement from his fellow Digimon. "Shadow". Grimdramon said to his partner, who nodded to his partner as he brought out his Fusion Loader. Rouge, Ash, Zero and Nene all brought out their Fusion Loaders as well and held them out to their partners, before the devices glowed.

(Digimon Tri Evolution Song play now)

Digivolve Sequence

In different split screens, Shadow, Ash, Rouge and Zero's Fusion Loaders activated with words of different languages appearing on the screen, before glowing. Then several yellow rings came out to reveal a hexagonal world, along with two blue combine hexagonals raining down in that world. "Grimdramon/ BlackGabumon/ Keramon/ DemiDevimon...!" The four Digimon cried out together as they were surrounded by blue hexagonals, which formed spheres, before glowing white.

Then, with flashes of light, the white spheres grew bigger; until they dissolve to reveal four shadowed forms. Green circles appeared, going over the four figures as their forms were revealed. "Ferodramon! /BlackGarurumon!/ Chrysalimon!/ Devimon!" The four newly evolved Digimon cried out their names to the heavens.

Digivolve Sequence continues.

In different split screens, Shadow, Ash, Rouge and Zero's Fusion Loaders activated with words of different languages appearing on the screen, before glowing with the devices changing colours to an even darker colour. Then several yellow rings came out, revealing a hexagonal world. This time, the Crest Symbol of Darkness came down towards the four Digimon.

"Ferodramon/ BlackGarurumon/ Chrysalimon/ Devimon Digivolve to...!" The four Digimon shouted out as the Crest Symbol of Darkness went over them as their forms changed. Yellow rings appeared from below them, going upward as their forms were revealed. "Razordramon!/ ShadowWereGarurumon!/ Infermon!/ NeoDevimon!" The four newly evolved Digimon shouted out to the heavens.

(Change music to Digimon Xros Wars – We are Xros Heart music)

Nene held her Fusion Loader in front of her with her right hand, before she used its energy to create a crescent moon shape circle in front of her as her hair blew in the breeze. "Lunamon! Digivole!'' Nene called out her friend's name as her eyes shot open.

"Lunamon Digivole to…!'' Lunamon called out with her eyes closed as the energy went to her, making her skin disappeared as she gained more power. Her body grew bigger, but stayed skinny, with her growing legs that had high heels and some crescent moon shape things on her feet. Her skin stayed white, grew longer hands that were human like hands with a scythe appearing in her right hand. A pink scarf appeared around her neck, her top now had white armor and quill-like protuberances on her back. Her face now had a helmet that showed her blue eyes, with her mouth covered. The Digimon had her eyes closed, before they opened as she flew into the air and spin her weapon in her arms, before she held it with her right hand with her left held out. "Dianamon!'' The newly evolved Digimon called out her name to the heavens with a moon behind her.

(Digivolution scene end)

The five evolved Digimon stood next to their partners, glaring down at the unsuspecting group of Skull Hunters. "Nene, thanks for coming to help". Shadow thanked his old friend, who gave the Prince of Darkness a smile. "No problem. Now, ready to party?" Nene replied to Shadow, who smirked at her words.

"You don't even need to ask. Alright guys, let's wrap this up quick and remember, not destroying for either the Digimon or humans!" Shadow told his friends, as they all got ready. "Yeah, yeah. You're a bit too soft, you know that?" Zero told his friend as he summoned two black metal claws in his hands.

"And let me guess, you want us to look after Nene, correct?" Ash asked as he summoned some knifes in his hands. "That's correct. Now if that's all the questions you have, follow me!" Shadow called out as he and Razordramon jumped off the cliff towards the Skull Hunters. Rouge, Infermon, Ash, ShadowWereGarurumon, Zero, NeoDevimon, Nene and Dianamon jumped after their friends towards the now aware Skull Hunters, who looked dup at them all in shock.

That night was a fun one that Shadow, Razordramon, Rouge, Infermon, Ash, ShadowWereGarurumon, Zero, NeoDevimon, Nene and Dianamon will not forget for a while.
