Revisiting the ol place. (Closed for now.)

Just when things seemed at their worst, SkullGreymon digivolved even further, into the enigma BlackWarGreymon. This Digimon carried a dark aura. The mere sight of BlackWarGreymon strikes fear into even the most righteous knights in the Digital World. Not long after SkullGreymon digivolved, another Digimon appears. A loud explosion is heard up at the top one of the decaying walls, knocking down some rubble. Stingmon flies in. His plasma cannon is smoking and cooling down from the last blast. Stingmon sees Dante, and swoops down to check on their Tamer.

Stingmon devolves to Wormmon and checks Dante's head. "He's out, but I think he's okay. Someone should do CPR!" Wormmon looks at Shi, then looks at Yasuo and Yuudai. "What? Fine, I'll do it." Wormmon crawls on top of Dante's stomach and jumps up and down. "WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" Dante coughs up some dust kicked up from the falling debris. "Wormmon, what happened? Wait, Wormmon! You're back!" "No thanks to you! Were you even looking for me?" Dante sits up and wipes his face with his hands. "Of course! I've scouted the Digital World looking for you. Even Shi is helping. How did you find me?"

"Well, it's like this. I was being held prisioner, forced to dig some kind of tunnel. I escaped with the help of the resistance. Then all of a sudden I felt this horrible pain, then digivolved into Stingmon. I felt this overwhelming power nearby, so I came to check it out." Dante can't believe he is reunited with Wormmon. Even though they stumbled upon each other after weeks of searching. Dante gets up, and sees BlackWarGreymon. "Oh no, what do we do about this guy?" Wormmon stand up on their hind legs and pumps his fists in the air. "You can take him! My money's on Yuudai and Yasuo!" "You can tell it's them?!" "Of course. Digimon can tell other Digimon apart, even when they digivolve." Reunited with Wormmon, the group must figure out how to deal with the destroyer, BlackWarGreymon.

(No worries.)

Dante and Wormmon watch on as Yuudai and Yasuo bring the fight to BlackWarGreymon. Even after a powerful blast up close, the evil Digimon looked as tough as ever. Wormmon starts to get anxious. "Let me fight him, Dante! I'll digivolve and give him a taste of my energy cannon!" Dante looks down at Wormmon and shakes his head. "BlackWarGreymon is a Mega. Even as Stingmon, you'd hardly register as a pest to this thing." Wormmon frowns and looks down. "Well we can't just stand here and watch them have all the fun. There's gotta be something we can do." Dante wanted to fight, but this battle was beyond Dante's level. All he could do was watch the fight, and think of a way they could help defeat BlackWarGreymon.

Wormmon grows impatient watching from the sidelines. "That's it! I gotta digivolve." Dante reluctantly takes out his digivice and Wormmon digivolves to Stingmon. "Try not to get beat up too bad." Dante knew Stingmon didn't pose a threat, but at least it would shut up his partner for the time being. Stingmon takes to the sky and swoops in towards BlackWarGreymon, attempting to pierce through their armor with a Spiking Strike. The attack doesn't even phase the Mega, and BlackWarGreymon swats Stingmon with the back of his claw, sending Stingmon flying into the wall. "Is that all ya got? I'm just getting started!"  Dante signals to Stingmon to disengage. "That's enough, Stingmon. Let Yasuo and Yuudai take care of him." Knowing they couldn't fight BlackWarGreymon in their current state, Stingmon returns to Dante's side. At the Champion Stage, Stingmon was driven to fight. Holding back would be an unfamiliar challenge. Dante continues watching the fight, hoping they will find a way to stop BlackWarGreymon.

Dante and Stingmon watch on as Yasuo and Yuudai bring the fight to BlackWarGreymon. Yuudai knocks over a tower that lands on the Mega. This was the first time BlackWarGreymon had been significantly damaged in this battle. Dante realizes they won't defeat BlackWarGreymon in a battle of strength. It would take intelligence, and a bit of luck. Fleeing was always an option, but in this case, BlackWarGreymon could not be allowed to reign chaos and destruction down on the Digital World. Stingmon looks down at Dante. "Isn't this when you would pull a rabbit out of a hat and win the battle with unconventional means?" "Well, when you put it like that... but I don't know of a way currently at our disposal."

Stingmon stands on the sidelines, charging up their energy cannon. "If we were fighting on a level playing field, I'd have that mon covered in plasma burns!" Dante looks at Shi, hoping he has some kind of plan. Could 2 or more Ultimates defeat a Mega? The only other Megas Dante had encountered were Piedmon, and the Spirit Users when defending Tokyo from the Digimon Godzilla. If Stingmon could digivolve to Ultimate, would it be enough to stop BlackWarGreymon? "All we can do is fight. If we don't stop this thing, there's no telling how many will suffer."

Dante continued watching the fight. Things took a turn for the worse, as BlackWarGreymon had sent Yuudai and Yasuo back to their Rookie forms. Dante's heart sank as Shi checked on his partners. BlackWarGreymon began charging a massive ball of fire. Was this how the world ends? Defeated at the hands of BlackWarGreymon, who would go on to plunge both worlds into chaos? Just when all hope appeared lost, Yuudai and Yasuo fused into a Mega level Digimon that appeared to be an orange version of the Digimon they were facing. Dante had heard of the legendary WarGreymon, but until now had never seen him before.

Stingmon cheers Yuudai and Yasuo on. "Wow! You did it guys! Time to humble BlackWarGreymon." For the first time in the fight, Dante believed they stood a chance. The gap from Chamion to Utimate was vast, but truly only a Mega could stand a chance against another Mega. However, the two Digimon are very similar, so which one would edge out the other? Dante thinks to himself for a moment. "Why does BlackWarGreymon fight? Earlier I thought SkullGreymon just had it out for Shi, but why are they determined to fight? I doubt they are protecting anyone. Their motives must be evil. Only seeking power through destruction." Would WarGreymon stop this evil counterpart?

Dante watched the Megas duke it out. To witness such brutality was a treat to the still amateur Tamer. Dante wondered what Wormmon would be like as a Mega? Would they become this powerful? Shi asks Dante if they can distract Black while War charges up a massive blast. "Distaction? That's my specialty." Dante was still a little bit off guard. Was it the head injury, or was BlackWarGreymon's presence clouding his thoughts? "Go distract him, Stingmon. Work your magic!" Stingmon flies into the air circling around Black. "Hey Ugly! Feeling a little sluggish? You're just a big dumby! Ha ha, ha-ha ha!"

Stingmon's taunting caught Black's attention. War continued building up energy. An attack this powerful would stand a high chance of injuring Black. They just needed more time. Black gets his claw unstuck and turns his attention to Stingmon. Before they can attack, Stingmon fires a barrage of plasma blasts. The attacks only scratch his armor, but the blasts are enough to pin him down. Black grabs his shield and deflects the rest of the blasts. Stingmon swoops down and dashes towards Black from behind, but Black turns around and blocks Stingmon's kick with the back of their claw. Black grabs a hold of Stingmon and flies into the air. They spin around very rapidly forming a mini tornado, and plunge straight to the ground. Stingmon suffers sever damage, but manages to stay in the fight.

The clock is ticking. War's attack is nearly charged, but Stingmon won't last much longer. Dante doesn't want to risk his Digimon partner's health, but he was in too deep. They must stop Black at all costs, even if Stingmon pays the ultimate price. Hopefully it would not come to that. "Stingmon! You're too badly injured. Use infestation!" Stingmon fires a small insect carrying a seed towards Black. The insect embeds the seed into Black's armor. The seed slowly drains health from Black, and transfers it to Stingmon. However, because Black is a Mega, the attack only absorbs a small amount of health. Feeling revitalized, Stingmon channels their energy into their armor, activating Nightmare Armor. Black charges towards Stingmon and strikes with a claw attack. Stingmon's armor reduces the damage taken, and the seed continues syphoning life to Stingmon. "You might be stronger than me, but I can still be a spoiler. Moon Cannon!" Stingmon charges up his energy cannon and fires a massive ball of plasma energy directly at black.

The attack his Black in his helmet, and creates a small crack along the top next to his right eye. Enraged that this Champion level Digimon was able to leave a mark on his armor, Black charges up their claw with dark energy and strikes Stingmon, sending them flying through the air and crashing into the ground, reverting back to Wormmon. Dante runs out and checks on his partner. "Wormmon! Are you okay?" Wormmon struggles to open his eyes. "D-Dan, te..." Wormmon reverts back even further, devolving to Minomon. "Let's get you rested up. Great job, little buddy. You deserve a better Tamer than I will ever be." Dante takes out his digivice and downloads Minomon's data. Dante turns his attention to Black. "You! Just why do you fight? What could you possibly gain? Why must the innocent suffer at the hands of the corrupt?" Dante takes a few steps towards BlackWarGreymon. "You crave power, but it is that desire that shows just how weak you really are."

In all the commotion Dante failed to notice War was done charging the terra force. He quickly runs away from Black and jumps over some rubble. Dante takes cover and hopes the blast will be enough. Black attempted to block the terra force, but War had the foresight to stop him, and knocked the shield out of the way with their fire tornados. The terra force hit BlackWarGreymon, and finished them off for good. The Mega level Digimon could no longer plague the Digital World.

Dante gets up and looks at what's left of BlackWarGreymon. Both Shi and Dante looked like they had been in an explosion. Dante looks at WarGreymon. "Wow. Well that settles it." While it was not totally clear why BlackWarGreymon attacked, it didn't matter anymore. Dante was reunited with Wormmon once again, and after some recovering, Wormmon would be back in fighting shape. "That was intense. What to do now?" Would Dante and Wormmon return to the Human World? Or did Shi still have business to take care of? Dante reaches down and checks his belt. For the first time, he notices the small pouch is not there. Inside was a one time use teleporter that Dante was saving to get back to the Human World. "Man, when did I lose it? I can't get back to the Human World." Dante's hood and jacket had been heavily damaged from the battle. "It was great seeing you again, Shi. If you've got more to do here, I'm more than happy to tag along. If not, I guess I'll return to searching the Digital World." Dante had Wormmon back, but his friends were still trapped in doll form, guarded by Piedmon and his lackeys.

Dante watched as BlackWarGreymon's data deteriorated into the sky. Dante had been traveling to the far corners of the Digital World, but neglected to realize that he was back in the big city, and the Trailmon station was not far away. "Ah, that's right. I guess there's more than one way to travel between worlds." Dante smiled up at the Mega. He couldn't figure out why, but something about this Mega just made Dante feel courageous. Dante looks at Shi and responds. "Thanks for the offer, but this is something I must do by myself. At least, to get started on. When I run in to the big baddies, I'll gladly give you a call."

Dante had been searching the Digital World since the incident with Piedmon. At this point, he had gathered that his friends were being held hostage all over by different Digimon. Just to overcome one of Piedmon's generals would be a daunting task, and between The Defectors and Team Takashi, there was 8 Tamers stuck in doll form. Would it take months, or even years to get them all back? Would they ever be rescued? "It's been fun traveling with you guys. Go, and take care of whatever you must. And when the time is right, we will reunite and unleash war upon Piedmon and his generals." Dante stomach started aching. He was already hungry again. Wormmon must be starving by now. Dante takes one last look at the remains of the old building. Before Dante can head out, his digivice starts beeping. "Hmm, there's a strange disturbance going off in the desert zone. I guess that would be a good place to start."
