Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

After the savior Hackmon left, the fire spread uncontrollably, burning and collapsing tunnels, eventually affecting another group of people from the real world who were about to travel to the Digital World.

Chapter Seventeen: The Dark Sea and the Dago Beast

"Ouch..." Yagami Taichi opened his eyes in a daze.

"Oh, right, Hikaru!"

Suddenly, he seemed to remember that Hikari Yagami had also come to the Digital World with him, and he became anxious to find his sister.

Then he found his younger sister safe and sound in his arms and breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the other half of the breath, it is...

"Taiyi."

The familiar voice called out to Taichi Yagami, causing him to turn his head involuntarily. Then, the half-hearted breath he hadn't yet released completely subsided, and his vigilance relaxed slightly. He blurted out, "Agumon."

Taichi Yagami's partner, Agumon, had his back to them and was staring straight ahead, as if some great terror was there that prevented him from turning around.

"here it is……?"

Seemingly noticing something amiss, Yagami Taichi looked around. He was on a beach, and where the beach met the sea.

However, this beach and sea area are completely different from what Taichi Yagami once saw on Failu Island.

The beach was dark in color, while the sea was completely black.

This eerie atmosphere is unmatched, even in places where one has encountered ghosts and monsters.

It's as if this is the gathering point of all dark places.

"Have we returned to the Digital World...?" Yagami Taichi murmured to himself. The feeling this place gave him was terrible, as if this place no longer belonged to the Digital World.

"Taiichi, be careful! There's something watching us from the sea!" Agumon didn't turn around, but instead directly warned Taiichi Yagami about the danger they were in.

Upon hearing this, Taichi Yagami, who unconditionally trusts his partner, decisively hugged Hikari Yagami tightly and gripped the Divine Plan in his hand, ready to evolve at any moment.

Having already traversed Failu Island, and then crossed mountains and seas to reach the Sandba Continent, they finally clashed with the powerful Wukong Beast.

At this moment, Taichi Yagami is no longer the naive boy who first arrived in the Digital World. He has lit up the Crest of Courage, and the belief of 'courage' exists in his heart. He is now qualified to lead the chosen children in the future.

Therefore, faced with Agumon's warning and the potential danger, Taichi Yagami did not hesitate at all.

Of course, his direct reason might also be because Hikari Yagami was right next to him at that moment.

As the older brother, he absolutely had to protect his younger sister who had been drawn into the digital world.

Only at this moment did he seem to understand Ishida Yamato's feelings when he saw Takaishi Takeru in danger.

Honestly, Taichi Yagami has no desire to experience this kind of feeling at all.

Time passed second by second, and no signs of danger appeared in the sea area that Taichi Yagami and Agumon were watching and being wary of.

It was as if Agumon was imagining things; they had not been attacked.

As time went on, even Taichi Yagami couldn't help but wonder if Agumon had misjudged them. But then he thought, Agumon is a Digimon, and his abilities are naturally stronger than his own as a human. Besides, Agumon woke up earlier than them. Perhaps it was precisely because Agumon woke up early that they were spared from danger while they were unconscious.

As a result, Taichi Yagami's resolve strengthened, and he chose to continue to believe in his partner.

However, this endless stalemate and standoff is not something they can sustain, and it's not in Taichi Yagami's style, so he chooses to take the initiative.

"Hey!"

A sudden shout shattered the silence. The sound echoed outwards, creating ripples in the waves.

"Who are you, and what do you want!" Taichi Yagami asked proactively, trying to take the initiative, and he still harbored a sliver of hope that the Digimon opposite him might not be enemies?

Gulu~Gulu~

A sound like swallowing, or perhaps like bubbles rising in water, arose.

On the vast, deep sea, a ripple gradually spread, eventually turning into whirlpools. Then, black figures resembling fish-men emerged from the water.

Seeing this, Taichi Yagami's expression darkened; there were quite a few of them.

Agumon, on the other hand, had all its muscles tense, ready to attack at any moment.

These fish-men, who resemble Digimon, posed a greater sense of crisis to Agumon than to ordinary Digimon.

This is not a crisis brought about by strength, but a different, more mysterious crisis.

Agumon's Digimon instincts told him that it was best not to get involved with these things.

"Bride~ Bride~ Bride..."

These deep-sea divers, each with empty eyes, kept repeating the same sentence.

"What bride?" Taichi Yagami asked, puzzled. Then he wondered if these fish-man-like Digimon needed his help, perhaps to find their brides?

Thinking of this, Yagami Taichi relaxed a little and asked, "Where is the bride you mentioned? Do you need my help?"

However, Taichi Yagami's question went unanswered. These Deep Ones, like simple-minded programs, kept repeating the word "bride," as if they would repeat it indefinitely until the end of their lives.

"..."

Taichi Yagami fell silent, watching this bizarre scene. His earlier slight relaxation returned, replaced by renewed vigilance. He decided it was best not to help this strange thing, which he couldn't even identify as a Digimon.

"......Hmm~"

Just as the atmosphere was taking an increasingly bizarre turn, the words "Bride of the Deep Diver" kept echoing on the beach.

Hikaru Yagami, nestled in Taichi Yagami's arms, let out a soft moan and slowly opened her hazy eyes. Then, seemingly sensing the familiar warmth, she snuggled closer into his embrace, displaying a lazy demeanor like a kitten.

"Xiaoguang."

Noticing the movement in his arms, Yagami Tai looked at the awakened Yagami Hikari, his face immediately lighting up with joy. "Thank goodness, you're finally awake! Does anything hurt? Does anything hurt...?"

Worried that Hikaru Yagami might get hurt, Taichi Yagami kept asking him questions.

He was interrupted by his younger sister, who was fully conscious, who exclaimed, "Brother has too many questions!"

"I'm sorry..." Yagami Taichi stammered.

"I forgive you." Yagami Hikaru smiled gently.

Then, turning to look at the eerie surroundings, and then at the Deep One confronting Agumon, his eyes showed no fear, but rather were filled with curiosity. "Where is this? Agumon's world?"

“Maybe not,” Agumon replied silently.

"Bride! Bride!! Bride!!!"

Suddenly, the two words that the Deep Ones had been repeating became more urgent and louder.

Hearing something amiss, Taichi Yagami and Agumon both became alert.

Taiya Yagami put Hikari Yagami down and used his body to block her view, not wanting her to see that strange scene.

"What exactly happened to them?" Yagami Taichi asked warily and suspiciously.

"The bride! Hand the bride over to us!" Deep One suddenly pointed at Hikaru Yagami behind Taichi Yagami and said in a hoarse voice.

Furthermore, they took action, gradually leaving the sea and walking onto the beach.

"The bride? Xiaoguang?"

Taichi Yagami was stunned, as if he had misheard something. He said in disbelief, then looked at the soft and cute little sister that Deep One was pointing at behind him. After regaining his senses, a surge of anger welled up from his chest to his head.

"What a joke! I'm not handing Hikari over to you guys, Agumon!!!" With Taichi Yagami's roar, the white shell of the Digivice was stained with angry orange.

"I understand! I will definitely protect Taichi's sister too!" Agumon said firmly, then charged towards the Deep Ones.

Agumon, evolve into Greymon!

"【Mega Flame】!"

Upon entering the arena, Tyrannomon unleashed a burst of extremely hot flames towards the area where the Deep Ones were most concentrated.

boom!

The fireball formed from the flames struck the center of the Deep One and exploded instantly.

The few Deep Ones that were directly hit and affected were like ice blocks melted by the high temperature, turning into liquid and lying paralyzed on the beach.

It seems that the Tyrannomon's attack only turned them into puddles, rendering them unable to move for a period of time.

To completely kill them, an attack at least at the mature stage is insufficient.

Even after discovering this, Greymon was not afraid. Instead, it charged forward, whipping its tail to send one Deep One flying. Then, using its physical advantage, it used the huge horn on its head to knock another Deep One away. Finally, it used its sharp claws to tear apart another Deep One...

The Tyrannomon fully utilized its physical advantages, transforming itself into a weapon of war. One Deep One after another fell on the beach, turning into small puddles.

Soon, of the dozens of deep-sea diver, only a few remained, escaping into the sea.

The Tyrannomon still had no intention of letting them go, and immediately opened its mouth and spat out a fireball, which went straight towards the remaining Deep Ones.

However, the fireball ultimately failed to achieve its intended effect on the beach.

Deep-sea divers simply dive into the water; the fireball strikes the surface, evaporates some water vapor, and then disappears without a trace.

After that, the Deep One surfaced again, continuing to stare at Yagami Tai and his group with its empty eyes.

"I will absolutely not hand Hikari over to you!" Looking at the Deep Ones who still seemed to be thinking about Hikari, Taichi Yagami felt like a 'well' character was about to pop out of his forehead.

“Woo—

Suddenly, the remaining Deep Ones emitted a strange, horn-like sound that spread across the sea and echoed far and wide.

"What--?

Suddenly, an ominous premonition surged into his heart, making Yagami Taichi's hair stand on end.

"elder brother!"

At that moment, Hikaru Yagami, this peculiar child, seemed to sense something and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Greymon, stop them!" Taichi Yagami shouted decisively.

"【Mega Flame】!"

Upon hearing this, Greymon condensed another fireball and spat it out.

This time, the surging heat seemed unstoppable, even by the seawater, and directly struck the remaining few deep-sea divers.

"Did it work?" Yagami Taichi asked, looking at the rising steam.

"I don't know, but they didn't dodge just now," Tyrannomon replied.

"Didn't dodge?" Yagami Taichi was puzzled, just as he was about to say something.

Suddenly, he felt his younger sister tugging at the corner of his clothes from behind.

"What's wrong, Hikari? It's okay..." Taichi Yagami was about to turn around to comfort his sister when he felt something envelop the already dim area, making it even darker, as if it had lost all its light.

Taichi Yagami looked up and saw an invisible mist rising on the boundless black sea. Within the mist, a gigantic phantom was faintly visible.

A bead of cold sweat slid down Taichi Yagami's forehead, for with the appearance of this phantom, a heavy pressure weighed on his heart.

"I won't let you hurt Taichi and Hikari!" At this moment, Greymon roared and stood in front of Taichi and Hikari.

“Greymon…” Taichi Yagami suddenly snapped back to reality, looked at Greymon’s back, and couldn’t help but smile, “…Thanks.”

Then, his gaze turned serious as he looked at the phantom in the mist. Fear had vanished from his heart. "It's just a bit bigger. That's not enough to stop me and Greymon from moving forward. And you can forget about hurting Hikari."

With unwavering resolve and a surge of inner strength, the badge of courage worn on his chest was rekindled, and the sacred plan shone forth.

Greymon regained Taichi Yagami's power.

Greymon, Mega Evolution – MetalGreymon!

The Ultimate form that once defeated Gokumon is displayed again. Even in terms of size, it is still no match for the phantom in the mist, but this time it will no longer bring Taichi Yagami that sense of powerlessness.

At this moment, Yagami Tai—holding Yagami Hikari's hand and holding the Divine Plan in the other, stood on the head of MetalGreymon, his feet firmly planted as if glued to his body.

"MetalGreymon, let's go!"

"oh!!!"

With a roar from the two, MetalGreymon suddenly leaped out and launched an attack on the phantom in the mist.

Because they knew that this phantom was summoned by the Deep Ones, and its target was also Yagami Hikari, so they could not possibly hand over Yagami Hikari. In this battle... they had no way out.

There is only one way out!
