Yeah, after re-reading 'Suzie's Day', which probably shouldn't be in the Digimon Tamers strip poker story, I decided to showcase/revisit a few of the Noodle-Incidents described within that story, such as Lopmon reaching Mega, and over-indulging on pizza.
Hope you enjoy reading this story, and please remember to leave a review if you enjoyed reading.
"SUZIE!" The girl heard several people cry, before ZeedMillenniumon's Time Destroyer hit her, whipping and ripping her physical body asunder, tearing her from the very fabric of reality.

In an deep-black void, amidst nauseatingly bright-colored swirling gases, a young girl, around ten years of age, floated, clutching a small, tan-brown long-eared rabbit, both strongly hesitant to open their eyes even minutely, for fear of the sharp angles of the circles they heard around them hurting their eyes.
Suzie let out a startled yelp when... Something, something not quite alive with infinitely more edges than it could logically, even possibly, have slithered across her waist, leaving several small cuts on both her cheeks as it left off her.
She had been helping the other Tamers fight ZeedMillenniumon, when she had been transported here. Both Sakuyamon and Gallantmon had intercepted the attack, generating a barrier and deflecting the blast, but it had still connected, and given what she knew of ZeedMillenniumon, there was no salvation for her and Lopmon now.
She hoped that their intervention had somehow weakened his Time Destroyer, improbable though it was.

Odaiba Seaside Park, 18:54, February 21, 2004
"This!" Mimi annoyedly decided, "Is the worst day ever!" She had been having a nice stroll with Palmon alongside the sea, enjoying a brief respite from the latest threat to the real world, the Seven Demon Lords. Just what was so fascinating about the real world that everyone wanted to conquer it, she wondered.
As if simply to ruin her day, Barbamon had arrived in the real world, with a couple of handful of minions, some NeoDevimon, some LadyDevimon, and more alarmingly, a Kimeramon.
Mimi still remembered clearly the last time a Kimeramon had appeared. Izzy had mentioned that Barbamon supposedly embodied the sin and vice of greed, but could he truly be that willing to win this conflict?
Fortunately, Tai, Cody, Izzy, Joe and their arrived independently of eachother within a few minutes, and she heard someone (Possibly Tai, she decided) shout that the battle could truly begin in earnest.
Once the battle had started, the Demon Lord had retreated to the Digital World, like the cowardly idiot he was, Mimi angrily thought, leaving his minions behind to do the dirty work. So far, they were succeeding; simply by sheer numbers, they had taken down WarGreymon, who had managed to take out half of them before reverting to Agumon and fleeing with Tai, but beyond that, neither side was gaining any ground, which Mimi doubted would last; ten Ultimate-level Digimon against three was a losing battle.
To win, they needed a miracle, and Davis and Veemon was nowhere in sight for a repeat performance.
They got it in short order, in the form what everyone present agreed had to be the strangest thing to happen today.
A ten-year girl and a Lopmon falling directly on top of Cody. "Hi," The girl whispered, smiling, once she had gotten up looking Cody in the eyes. "Great... Of all the realities I could've ended up in... Savers, Frontier, Xros Wars, Next, V-Tamer 01..." She groaned, upon noticing the Digidestined.
"Hi," Cody replied calmly, uncertain of her exact meaning, his cheeks dyed faint red, only now getting a good look at the girl. She had soft-maroon hair, arranged in a pair of side-tails on the back of her head. Her eyes were a matching shade, and she wore a pale-grayish brown shirt, light-brown jeans, a belt with a square leather box attached and a pair of pink sweat-bands on her wrists. Around her neck was a familiar device.
While Cody was inspecting the stranger's appearance, Mimi wrily thought that he needed to find a real girlfriend, and not a total stranger landing on top of him. And his timing didn't help much, either.
"That's a Digivice!" Cody exclaimed. "You're a Digidestined!"
"What, Lopmon didn't tip you off?" She asked, giving a wide smirk that unsettled Cody somewhat with it's lack of innocence. "And no, I'm a Digimon Tamer." Then, she noticed the NeoDevimon, LadyDevimon and Kimeramon everyone was fighting. "Need some help with that?"
"If you would, that'll be great..." He drily responded. To his surprise, the girl simply held up her Digivice, which somehow had a holographic display, detailing the Digimon they were fighting.
"A dozen Ultimates, huh?" She asked, rhetorically, to Cody's surprise. "This won't even be a challenge."
While Lopmon appreciated the confidence her Tamer held in her, she couldn't help but worry about a few things, such as whether that confidence was completely justified, and whether Rika was too big an influence on the girl.
To Cody's surprise, instead of pressing her Digivice to allow the rabbit to Digivolve, she pulled a strange card from her belt-box. "Digimodify! Matrix Digivolution!" She exclaimed loudly, not alleviating his confusion in the slightest.
Adding to it was the fact that Lopmon began glowing brightly, its silhouette reshaping itself into something Cody had hoped never to see again. Kokomon's Ultimate form.
It looked outwardly no different than before, save for the addition of a scarf; it still had the same cold, piercing red eyes, the same unnaturally lanky arms...
"Next up," She smirked. "Digimodify! Queen's Device!"
Cody, the other Digidestined, the NeoDevimon or the LadyDevimon collectively froze in shock at the new combatant, and the soft-pink aura covering it.
It was as though everyone present could feel it, whether consciously or instinctively, the boy mused. Unless they could take this monster down... They might all be doomed.
"Bunny Blades..." The empowered rabbit whispered ominously, converting it's arms into axes, charging at the demonic Digimon, destroying four of them with an ease that horrified Digidestined and demon-Digimon alike.
Within minutes, almost all the NeoDevimon and LadyDevimon were deleted, leaving the monster to finish off Kimeramon. Hopefully, Cody thought, it could defeat the virus-infected Digimon.
"Heat Viper," Kimeramon drawled, releasing a blazing stream of flame from it's maw. Beyond a groaning wince when it impacted, the rabbit didn't acknowledge the attack, deciding to end it quickly, flinging an axe to Kimeramon's throat.
Once separated from it's body, Kimeramon's head dissipated into stray bits of data. To the shock of the Digidestined, instead of the data comprising the body dissolving, the head grew back, none-the-worse-for-wear.
"You'll never be able to defeat him, I'm afraid," the last LadyDevimon chuckled. "This Kimeramon is the sum total of everything our masters gave to him... He's sacrificed his ability to reincarnate as a Digi-Egg, his sanity, his individuality, and for what you might ask? Why, the ultimate in advanced healing powers; his data was tweaked to allow him to rebuild his body in seconds, no matter the injury, as long as even a fragment of it exists..."
"Thanks," Both LadyDevimon and the Digidestined were caught off-guard by the girl's cheerful reply.
"I beg your pardon?" LadyDevimon stuttered, unable to hide her shock. Had the girl not been listening?
"I've been wondering if me and Lopmon could defeat an invincible opponent, and this might be our best chance," She explained, while Antylamon shot her a worried and bemused glance; the girl's boundless confidence was assuring, but did she seriously believe that they could win this fight?
Antylamon could only agree with LadyDevimon; whatever had happened to that Kimeramon had indeed served to make it nearly invincible, she thought as she sliced off his skeletal hand, Kimeramon pausing briefly as he reconstituted his hand, by what she and Suzie both recognized as Fractal Code.
"Anytime you wanna help out would be fine," She exasperatedly told the Digidestined and their partners, who had been watching Antylamon and Kimeramon's fight. "Or don't; me and Antylamon can handle this thing."
Tai, Mimi, Izzy, Joe and Cody shared nervous glances; the last time they'd fought a Kimeramon, it had taken every scrap of energy Magnamon had to defeat it, and now some girl, using weird cards, showed up, boasting that her partner could beat it.
...
Antylamon's eyes widened when she saw Kimeramon unleash his Heat Viper, not at her but at Suzie.
Though she was relieved to see Suzie narrowly dodge the attack, that Kimeramon had done it at all filled Antylamon with blinding rage. All she now desired now was his suffering to daring to harm her Tamer.
Suddenly, she felt something deep within her data snap in two and crumble into pieces. The Digidestined and Suzie watched her begin to tremble with fury, clutching her head. Surprisingly, even Kimeramon was given pause by the rabbit's sudden change in demeanor.
Suddenly, the world seemed to turn darker, as Mimi saw the previously clear-azure skies become covered in large clouds, and the previously calm sea begin to ripple, large whirlpools forming several kilometers away. Was whatever was happening to Lopmon causing the strange phenomena?
Antylamon released a gutwrenching roar, as her body was covered in crimson electricity. "No..." Suzie and Cody whispered, horrified, knowing full well what was about to be unleashed...
"What... is that?!" Mimi, Izzy and Joe quietly asked. Though they had never seen this variety of Digimon before, the aura of malice and hatred emanating from it was unmistakable. Tai, however, was shocked speechless.
It's body was almost entirely dark-violet, with a pair of blue markings on it's stomach, that contained a sickly-green stripe, that divided each half of it's body. On it's arms were thick veins, and around it's neck was a bluish-white twelve-pronged adornment, with another twelve-pronged purple star within that one, both serving to frame it's head, it's yellow glowing eyes and wicked smile holding nothing but hatred and antipathy. It's arms were extended towards him, with an intent to kill.
Before Kimeramon could react, the creature had snatched him up with it's hand. Why, Mimi and Izzy didn't understand, but they were nauseated by the way it had done that, as it seemed less like a Digimon fighting another Digimon, and more like a storm, or a tidal wave, in a higher world, coming crashing down on Kimeramon.
"Now, what will you do, little thing?" Cherubimon's coarse voice asked the squirming Kimeramon in her hand. "LadyDevimon said before that you could not be defeated, that you would heal off any injury. If that is true... You are going to prove highly entertaining..." Cherubimon chuckled softly. Kimeramon gave a loud scream as Cherubimon's hand crackled with electrical fury.
Cherubimon's eyes lit up, and a thunderbolt descended from the heavens. Kimeramon screamed in agony, both from the lightning-bolt ripping his insect-arm to pieces, and from his regeneration undoing the cauterization of the injury.
"Hmm... Perhaps a little experiment..." Cherubimon spoke, gleeful at the suffering Kimeramon was about to experience. Slowly, she tightened her grip until...
Tai, Mimi and Joe couldn't bear to watch the wanton cruelty any further, while Suzie, Izzy and Cody watched in abject horror as Kimeramon's head, neck, Devimon arms and Angemon wings was separated from the main body, by the sheer pressure Cherubimon had exerted upon it.
With a content smile, Cherubimon opened her hand, watching Kimeramon's headless body dissipate. Her amusement was interrupted by Kimeramon's Heat Viper attack on her back.
She turned around and to her surprise and bemusement, Kimeramon had already regenerated nearly it's entire body, save everything below the elbow of the skeletal arms, which were still healing.
"Now this is fun," Cherubimon laughed heartily, before his smile faded. "Amusing though it is to kill you over and over, I had best be rid of you. TERMINAL JUDGMENT!"
Once more, a flurry of thunderbolts fell from the gathered clouds down on Kimeramon. This time, however, they did not cease falling until Kimeramon was entirely annihilated.
"Impossible!" LadyDevimon screeched. "You destroyed Kimeramon!"
"Yes, funny that," Cherubimon smirked. "I myself thought it impossible to confer such regenerative power upon any Digimon, and likewise impossible to survive ZeedMillenniumon's Time Destroyer, yet that happened."
"My apologies," She said, surprising LadyDevimon, Digidestined and Tamer alike, with the sincerity in her tone. "Allow me to assure you that you will reunite with your fallen comrades shortly." She punctuated her statement with eleven spears of lightning that appeared before her, each of them diving for the demonic digimon. Suddenly, she gave an exhausted wheeze, before her form reverted of that of Lopmon's, who collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
...
Lopmon woke up in unfamiliar surroundings, which she recognized as a place near where she had fought the NeoDevimon and LadyDevimon. "Suzie?" She asked, alarmed, looking around for her Tamer, and seeing only five of the Digidestined standing around, sporting concerned looks.
"Right here," Lopmon heard from behind her, and felt Suzie wrap her arms around her.
"Are you okay?" She softly asked her partner, who replied that she at least wasn't absolutely exhausted. "No surprise there, Lopmon. You Digivolved to Mega!" She exclaimed happily, tightening the hug.
"I did?" She replied, confused. While everything in-between Kimeramon attacking Suzie and waking up was a blur, she should remember... "Suzie? I Digivolved to Cherubimon Vice Mode, didn't I?"
"Sure did," She chirped. Lopmon hung her head in shame at the thought of the damage she could've caused while in that form. "What's wrong, fallen one?" Suzie worriedly asked.
"Fallen one!?" Lopmon exclaimed indignantly at being called 'fallen one'. "Just because I digivolved into Vice Mode, doesn't automatically mean that I'll become that evil monster everytime!"
"No, it doesn't, Lopmon," Suzie smiled warmly. "So don't worry about it."
So that was what her Tamer had tried... Reverse psychology to pull her away from any sort of rut. "Thanks, Suzie..." Lopmon smiled.
"No problem," Suzie responded. "Now let's find a way home."
"If there is one..." She dejectedly muttered.
Her Tamer gave her a mildly chiding look. "We will. I'm sure of it."
Yeah, I like to think that I have a different approach to the whole interseason crossover thing.
And by 'different', I mean portraying [BadassAdorable] Suzie and Lopmon as otherworldly horrors that cannot be held or reasoned with.
