"Davis! Davis wake up!" Davis could feel something bouncing on his chest. He opened his eyes to see Veemon with his smiling face. "Morning."

"How many times have I told you not to wake me up like that?" Davis said.

"I've lost count, but you got to get ready for school." Veemon said.

"Alright." Davis groaned as he got out of bed. It's been a couple years since Davis and all the digidestine around the world defeated Malomyotismon. Digimon and humans have been living at peace with each other, but times like that don't last for long.

…

Kari

"Do you have everything?" Gatomon said.

"I think so." Kari said. "You promise to stay in the computer lab with the other digimon and stay out of the other student's way?"

"Don't worry. We've done this time after time." Gatomon said. She was happy, but her ears twitched. "Kari, get down! Something is coming." Before Kari could react, something crashed through the windows and it was reaching out for them. There wasn't any time for them to act.

…..

Davis

Davis was brushing his teeth, but when he came out, Veemon was eating everything.

"Leave some food for the rest of us." Davis said.

"I'm hungry." Veemon said.

"And Mom wonders what happens to all of our money." Davis said. "At least having you around means that it's never boring."

…

Ken

"I'll see you later, Mom." Ken said as he left his apartment with Wormmon on his shoulder.

"So what do you think your teachers have in store for you today?" Wormmon said.

"I don't know. You never know what that crazy science teacher could do next" Ken said with a chuckle. Both of them failed to notice a shadow figure standing over them. It jumped down and attacked both of them.

…

Davis

"Hurry up." Davis called out as Veemon was falling behind as they left his building.

"Sorry. I needed to brush my teeth too." Veemon said. "Also, I noticed that you forgot a couple books." He said as he handed them over to him.

"I don't know what I do without you." Davis said.

"Probably forget everything important and flunk out." Veemon said and they shared a good laugh.

…..

Yolei

"Be careful, Aquilamon." Yolei said as she and her partner were fighting someone.

"Grand Horn." Aquilamon's horns glowed and charged at his opponent, but his attack just bounced off the enemy. A cannon was powered up and blasted Aquilamon.

…..

Davis

Davis and Veemon were waiting to cross the street. The light turned green for them and that made them race off to the other side and Davis made it there first.

"I win!" Davis said.

"No fair. You're legs are longer than mine." Veemon complained.

"Nope. I'm also just that awesome." Davis said and they shared another laugh.

…

Cody

Cody was fighting an enemy as well. Ankylomon swung his tail, but the enemy was moving too fast for him to land a hit and he kept firing energy bullets at him.

"Stay strong. We can do this, Ankylomon." Cody said.

"I'm trying, but the darn varmint won't stand still." Ankylomon said. The enemy pulled out a small weapon and struck faster than the eye could see.

….

Davis

Davis and Veemon arrived at the school, but they looked around and they didn't see any sign of any of the others.

"That's weird." Davis said as he pulled out his phone and looked at the time. "School's going to start soon, but I'm here before any of the others."

"Maybe they're already inside." Veemon said.

"No. I always run into Kari on the way here and Yolei, T.K., and Cody soon follow." Davis said. "I thought they would have been here by now. It's not like those guys to be here after me."

…

Gennai

Gennai was running through the city and he looked like he was in a panic about something. He came across part of the city that was demolished and he saw T.K. on the ground.

"T.K.!" Gennai said as he lifted him up. "T.K., can you hear me?"

"Gennai?" T.K. said as he tried to wake up. "He….he took him. He took Patamon."

"Oh no. I'm too late. I've got to get to the others before they do." Gennai said. He looked around the destruction and new something was bad, very bad.

…..

Davis

The bell was about to ring and Davis saw no sign of any of his friends. He was starting to get concerned as none of them were answering.

"Davis, let's just go in. I'm sure they're just running a little late." Veemon said.

"All of them? This is really weird." Davis said. He decided to just head on inside before he's declared late and ran for the door. He was about to make it when he saw someone standing in the soccer field. He went over and saw someone in a blue bandana with a white cloak. "Dude, who are you?" He lifted his face to show he wore a mask covering his mouth.

"So you're the last one."

"Last one? What are you talking about?" Davis said.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Veemon said.

"My name is Reapmon and I came here for you….Veemon." Reapmon said as he held out his gun and aimed it at them. Veemon and Davis knew this was trouble and acted fast as they literally dodged the bullet.

Digimon Analyzer: I hold talismans that give me great knowledge and I hold the ability to steal you souls. I never run out of ammo with my Guiltish.

"Veemon, are you ready?" Davis said.

"I am if you are." Veemon said.

"Digi-Armor Energize!"

"Veemon armor digivolve to….Flamedramon, the Fire of Courage!"

"So this is armor digivolution. I wish I got the chance to see it when I took down the others." Reapmon said.

"The others? Are you saying you attacked our friends?" Davis said.

"Yes and they were easy to beat." Reapmon said.

"If you hurt them, I swear I'll burn you to ashes." Flamedramon said. He swung his knuckles at him, but Reapmon was able to avoid all of his swings. Reapmon jumped up and fired his energy bullets, but Flamedramon dodged all of them. "What did you do to the others?"

"You'll be joining them." Reapmon said.

"Fire Rocket."

Flamedramon fired his blasts of fire, but Reapmon used his dashenbian to extinguish all of them.

"Let's see if you can fight without moving." Reapmon landed down and actually shot Flamedramon in the leg. The pain kept him from moving it. Reapmon jumped back and jumped off from the wall.

"Kamiuchi."

He held his weapon out and it gave the appearance that he struck Flamedramon in the chest.

"Flamedramon!" Davis said. He thought his friend was hurt, but he was able to see that Flamedramon was able to hold it back from Reapmon impaling his chest.

"I'm not going to fall that easily." Flamedramon said and tossed Reapmon, but he was able to land. "I won't ask you again. Tell us what you did to our friends."

"That wasn't really asking." Reapmon said.

"Don't act smug. Where are they?" Davis said.

"Didn't you just say you weren't going to ask again?" Reapmon said.

"That does it." Flamedramon said. He felt his leg in pain and decided to get off it. He forced himself to jump and was about to strike at him.

"Burning Cyclone."

The fight was interrupted. A cyclone that had skulls and fire in it came out of nowhere and blasted Flamedramon and Davis was blown back from the attack.

"Where did that come from?" Davis said.

"It's him!" Reapmon said and he had his eyes widen. Davis looked and met a bulky looking man in metal with a skull and had a cannon on one arm and a sickle on the other. "Reapermon. I didn't expect to see you."

Digimon Analyzer (Reapmon): Reapermon is a powerful digimon that can control death. He might hunt criminals, but he is also considered one as he draws in his victims and slays them with his Grim Slasher.

"Considering that this one is to be the leader, I decided to take action." Reapermon said as he walked over to Flamedramon since the attacked knocked him into the wall. Flamedramon tried to get up and tried to continue fighting.

"Who are you?" Flamedramon said.

"Your doom." Reapermon said. He just slammed his left claw into the ground and had him pinned down. He lifted up Flamedramon and he was unconscious.

'His strength is unreal. Is this guy a mega level?' Davis said.

"You're coming with us." The two of them walked away with Flamedramon as a portal opened up and they stepped through.

"Flamedramon!" Davis said as he reached where they left, but he passed out.

…..

Reapermon

Reapermon dragged Veemon, after he dedigivolved, through a stone and dark hallway with Reapmon following. They came across a dungeon like room with someone else waiting for them that looked like a machine with a cannon and blade. He also had a tail instead of legs.

"You're back!"

Digimon Analyzer (Reapermon): Meet Grimmon. He might be a champion level digimon, but his Chrono DSR can destroy data in the digital world. If it weren't for that, he be useless to me.

"How are our guests?" Reapermon said.

"I think they like their new home." Grimmon said and showed they had all five of the other digimon. All of them were badly beaten and chained to the wall.

"Excellent. We have all six of them. Soon, the power of armor digivolution will be mine." Reapermon said.

….

Davis

"Veemon!" Davis shouted as he woke up and saw he was in bandages. He looked around and didn't know where he was.

"I'm glad to see you're awake." Davis saw Gennai and his friends with them bandaged up as well.

"Guys? What happened to all of you?" Davis said.

"The same thing that happened to you." Yolei said.

"We were all attacked by the same enemy and they took our partners." T.K. said.

"Yes. All of you were attacked by Grimmon, Reapmon, and Reapermon. They call themselves the Reaper Brothers." Gennai said. "Sadly, they got to you before I did."

"What do they want?" Kari said.

"Azulongmon informed me about Reapermon." Gennai said. "He felt an evil power coming from him. Apparently, he wants to have the power of armor digivolution and he took your partners to do it."

"Armor digivolving?" Kari said.

"Wait, Wormmon can't armor digivolve. Why did they take him?" Ken said.

"I can only come up with two theories." Gennai said. "He assumes that Wormmon can armor digivolve or that he'll try to take the power of DNA digivolving next."

"We've got to do something." Cody said.

"We should go to Tai and the others, find our partners, and save them." T.K. said.

"No way. I've got a score to settle with those jerks." Davis said. "Besides, they're our partners and Tai and the others are too busy getting actual lives together to help us. We can't just wait around for every opportunity. We need to act now."

"But Davis, what can we do if Veemon and the others have been kidnapped?" Kari said.

"I had a feeling you might say that." Gennai said. "I can modify you D3s. You kids might not like it, but you might have to get new digimon partners."
