Chapter 1:

A very big surprise

There was a boy with yellow goggles, blue shirt, brown pants, and white sneakers walking away from the park, thinking of what has happened to him over the past couple of days. 'I can't believe that a Renamon is my enemy.' He thought remembering the emotionally challenged red-head that he fought earlier in the day and of that yellow fox. 'Truthfully, when that card came out I immediately had a crush on her; it's a pain in the butt that she's the enemy.' He added with a look of pure pity on his face. Then something strange happened: as he was passing by the garage that he fought them last he stopped and began to walk inside. "What is this feeling?" He muttered to himself when he was deep inside the complex; he felt like a piece of metal following the attraction of a really BIG magnet. The pulling sensation stopped right in front of the hole caused by his partner Guilmon, and Gargomon a Digimon owned by Henry Wong. He willingly walked into the whole, and in the process he lost his left yellow wristband on a broken piece of metal. "Maybe this was a bad idea; I mean Guilmon didn't say that he found anything. Come to think of it he didn't even notice the hole that he made." He said, trying to convince himself that this was stupid while thinking back to the last of the battle.

"Did I do okay?" His red dino asked after plowing a machine gun bunny through a solid concrete wall. He also recalled that as he watched the redhead leave he saw that her face had nothing short of pure terror on it.

"I suppose that I would be scared too, if a Digimon was pointing a gun that can turn a pickup into scrap with one-shot." He said as he still found himself digging through the dirt. 'I only came here to see a battlefield, not a treasure…huh?' His recent thought of convincing was stopped when he say something shining with its own glow. As the boy reached for it, the object in question leapt out of the dirt and onto his wrist. He walked out of the whole for some lighting but what he saw did not make sense. "It kinda looks like a watch, but why would anyone would choose to put a watch in the wall of a garage?" He thought aloud. He was instantly intrigued by the devices design, he examined it a bit and the main thing that he found interesting was the button closest to him. Out of curiosity he pushed it and as soon as he did the top of it popped up allowing the two points on the sides to come together and show a picture. "That's freaky." He said trying to deal with this latest development in his life. 'Okay recap: I recently meet a Digimon that I created and that was a disaster, then I meet a lady that I saw in a dream who wants to plow both of our faces into the pavement, I then meet another tamer and that was a disaster too. To top it all off I have this strange watch.' He thought, thinking of the past events. Without realizing it he pushed the head down and suddenly felt really weird.

"For a second there I felt strange but now I feel fine." He said not noticing that his voice has been altered, however he did notice that his hands changed into a pair of black three-pronged hands. "What the heck!" He yelled and went over to a car that didn't have busted window; which was kind of hard. Once he finally found one he was amazed at what he saw. "What did that thing do to me?" He said aloud, finally realizing that he had a different voice. The appearance was this: blue and black vertical stripes on his tale, black and white on his torso, arms, and head; he also had a blue/green face with black stripes and yellow eyes. "Hey, that's the watch's logo." He said after taking a close look at his chest. "If I couldn't tell my parents about Guilmon, how can I go home like this?" He whispered before letting reality catch up with him. "Oh man! My mom is going to kill me." He nearly yelled at the top of his lungs. He didn't know when but some sort of mask slide over his face and he was off in a blink. Suddenly, he found himself zipping past buildings and the people and cars in the streets seemed to be going at slow motion. In no time at all he found himself in an alley to the left of his bakery. "Wow." He said in amazement before adding, "Where were you when I had to do laps in gym class." He then heard a strange sound but before he could see what it was a bright red flash consumed him, and just like that he was human again.

"How did I turn back to normal?" Takato questioned in his voice as he looked at his hands and was grateful that they were back to normal. He then walked out of the alley and into his home. His parents were busy with feeding their masses so he was able to slip in with no questions. The novice tamer decided to take a bath hoping that would clear some cobwebs; he even used some of his mother's herbal soap - since he really smelled. "I wonder what Guilmon will be like when he digivolves?" He questioned as he kicked his feet. After plunging into the water for a moment and when he surfaced he added, "I sure hope he doesn't get any bigger than Gargomon." The rest of his bath was divided between what his new friend will look like in his altered form and the watch. Back at the park Henry had fallen asleep, waiting for his partner to de-digivolve. As he slept his subconscious decided for him to relive of how he met Terriermon. After having images of a video game involving his partner going against a cyber-ape he awoke in shock.

"Henry, Henry where are you?" His partner questioned in panic wondering where his human alley was. The creature now running to him was ankle height. He stopped short of the boy and asked, "Can we go home now?"

"Glad to see you back to your old self." He replied, and walked on, while his partner glided to his head and stayed there. After a few moments of eerie silence between the two the Digimon decided to say something.

"Sorry about today." He said in a sincere tone. That still wasn't enough to stop his worry. "I just couldn't help it." He added, knowing that his human friend was the cautious sort.

"I told you not to digivolve, I was about to move you in with Guilmon." He said in a serious tone, but he threw in the last part to relieve some stress between the two.

"I didn't mean to do it." The creature said, still sounding very sorry for his accidental evolution. He did not receive an answer so he added one last thing in attempts to calm him down, "Come on Henry: Momentai." Takato had just gotten out of the tub and was in his room with colored pencils and paper so he could draw what his creations evolved form will be.

"Check it out." He shouted in excitement to no one but himself. "A digivolved Guilmon; he'll have HUGE teeth and big red gnarly spikes and a laser guided missile system. Ka-pow! Ka-pow! Ka-pow! KA-POW!" He added while raising his red and black colored pencils into the air to represent the missiles. As the boys were filled with excitement and worry the girl that they met up with in the park and in the parking garage was in her room: ticked off at them.

"That little weenie digivolves on his own, and Renamon stays the same even with two modify cards." The red head girl said in anger as she looked at the four cards on the table in front of her before adding, "What does that goggle-head have that I don't." She then took a look at the cards in her left hand. "This is ridiculous. You better digivolve soon Renamon; I'm not going to be threatened by some over grown rabbit. Back with Takato he once again looked at the device on his wrist, still curious about it.

"Let's see, I turned into that speed guy when I did this…" He repeated the same process as he did in the garage, but when he came to the pictures he moved the head around. "Let's see what happens if I use a different picture." He said to himself before slamming it down.

"Well from what I can guess I didn't turn into that speed guy, so who did I turn into?" The new voice said before going over to the curtain, pulling it back and saw his reflection, and he was less than pleased. "Oh man, I'm some sort of overgrown root…no maybe a vine." He stroked his new chin and added, "Yeah, Wildvine, that's what I'll call it." He turned to his bed, 'Suppose I should get some shuteye.' He thought before getting onto his bed by stretching his feet vines and laying his new body on his bed; hoping that nothing bad will happen with him on it.

"Hey Takato, you better get up son or your going to be late for the school bus." The father of Takato Matsuki yelled from the bakery half of their home. This startled the young boy awake.

"Dad has to be kidding; it can't be that late." The goggle wearer said before looking at his Paildramon clock which read: 7:40. "Oh crap, I AM going to be late unless…" He said before look back at the watch and that is when he noticed that he was no longer a plant which was great. The dino tamer ran down stairs and into the alley beside him. "This will be the last time I use this thing." He whispered before activating it and turning it. He didn't stop until he came to one that had wings: he slammed it down and saw that he was a bug of some sort.

"I'll give this form a name later." The creature said aloud before picking up his backpack and flew off at his highest speed; he got there just in time. When the school bell rang and some child civilians were going about their business they failed to realize a white and purple creature on one of the streetlights.

"Humans must be easy to tame. Look at them, the bell rings and they come running." The creature said with eyes of wonder. Takato was with an old friend who was messing with him with the pack of modify cards that he just got.

"Look, new modify cards." There were three cards in his hand but he gave the goggle wearer the one on the far right. "Here you can have this lame one, I don't need it." Takato looked at the 'lame' card, but the name of it didn't make sense to him.

"What are training grips?" This question seemed to get under his skin as he instantly answered back.

"Geez, don't you know anything? They make your Rookie big and strong so it could stomp out the enemy. It's like resistance training; you probably won't use it, but maybe you can get some sucker to trade for it." As he answered back he provided visual aid for big and strong along with stomp. While that conversation was going on his fellow monster tamer was calmly walking beside him.

"Yeah." He sees his comrade but decides to take a closer look at it while adding, "Just what I need another useless card." In truth he did not seem to care he was more concerned about what to name that bug and that speed creature along with the fact that he can't stop getting any image of that yellow creature from his dream out of his head. While he was meeting his friend an unknown group that made base at those towers was up to something.

"Sir, I've detected another one." A young girl stationed at a strange console stated to her leader. The leader who was opening and closing a silver colored lighter said back to her in a calm fashion.

"So, what are you waiting for?" The young girl understood and answered back.

"Yes sir right away." There was another girl to her back with the same strange console and added back.

"Pinpointing tracer quadrants." After a few key strokes on the dome screen above them a green arrow was following a red dot. The one with the lighter said in a still calm tone.

"They just never learn, do they?" The creature was running for something, but the boys and the rabbit dog had no knowledge of any danger.

"Sometimes I think Kazu gives me these cards so he can use them against me later." Takato said, referring to his 'generous' friend. His alley did not think so.

"You give him way too much credit." The holder of the goggles thought of that statement for a moment and said back to him.

"Yeah, I got to work on that." He put the card he acquired in with the rest of his cards. Takato was about to tell Henry about the thing on his wrist instead of the 'game watch from the US' excuse from school, but the Digimon who was hanging on Henry perked his ears up after sensing something.

"What's up?" Henry questioned at his partner while knowing full well that had to been a given for a bad pun.

"My ears for one thing." He answered back, but that didn't make any sense to his human friend.

"Your ears?" He questioned aloud, but he got his answer when he looked up. "Oh no."

"What's that?" Takato asked while pointing to an object that looked a lot like an ordinary cloud, but something didn't feel right.

"I hope it's not what I think it is." Henry said, ignoring his friend's question.

"Me too." Takato said before reminding himself that he still did not know what it was so he added, "What do you think it is." He saw the object's arrival and decided to say his next comment in alarm. "Whatever it is its coming right at us."

"You know something…" Henry began as he saw it came toward them a bit faster. "You just might be right." He completed before running away from it. Takato was right on his tail with that object of unknown origin behind him. "Come on." Henry ordered as he ran.

"Oh, this is some week we're having." The little one said while holding onto his partner. The two were going down the same path that they started from.

"Must run faster." Takato said as he had a feeling that they were not losing it at all. He looked down but his mind already knew what the gut wanted, 'No not yet.' The logical side of his mind said. The newbie of a tamer was so deep in thought that he almost missed his friend's answer to his comment.

"I could if Terriermon wasn't chocking me." As the two were running Henry decided to in a way bring some light in the situation. "This is impossible: it's a Digital Field." What he said interested the follower as he asked while running.

"This just keeps getting better and better. What is a Digital Field and why is it chasing us." He did not receive an answer just a bad comment that would have ticked him off if he wasn't already busy with something else.

"You picked a dumb time to ask questions." The green and white life form said while still along for the ride.

"For once I agree." Henry said; surprised that he was actually agreeing with a creature that was his opposite. The blue shirt boy glanced over his should and saw that it was just over head and gaining ground.

"It's gaining on us. We'll never out run it." Takato said in alarm to the others. Henry also saw this and added his own thought.

"Oh man, that thing is fast. We'll have to split up: you take the bridge."

"Right." Takato said before picking up the speed, heading for a staircase in the middle of a sidewalk. Henry on the other hand kept on the concrete path.

"See you on the other side." Henry said to him, guessing that he would see his friend on the other side of the street.

"Get the lead out Henry, this is serious." The rabbit dog said to his partner, forgetting that the human was the tamer. Takato took a gamble and decided if the Digital Field fell for their division tactic but it didn't.

"Oh no, Henry, It's after you." Takato yelled to his friend as the field was heading for Henry for some reason or another. "Keep running! I'll go get Guilmon and come back as soon as I can." He then continued the rest of the way down the bridge and into an alley. 'So much for that bug being my last time.' He thought before repeating the process and turned into a creature with black, white, and green skin.

"What to call you." He said aloud before noticing a moped by the building he was by. 'I wonder if I look like a machine maybe…' He thought and placed his big right hand on the handle and with a thought saw that his new body was becoming one with it. 'Least I know what this guy does.' He thought as he drove over to his digital partner's home. Henry wasn't fairing so well.

"Now would be a good time to hide." Henry's partner said as it was realizing that running wasn't enough.

"You're just full of ideas, aren't ya?" Henry answered back as he kept on running. The two soon made it to a construction site. The dog like creature spoke again only in the form of a question.

"I suppose Momentai really isn't appropriate now, is it?" The two of them were getting close to a brake in the fence so the monster gave his human directions, "Quick down there."

"I thought I was the tamer." Henry said as he jumped over the caution colored hurdle.

"It's just a suggestion." The creature answered back. After taking a quick glance at the area the logical tamer did not like the location.

"How about suggesting a better place to hide?" Henry questioned, not noticing that the cloud that they were fleeing from was covering the entire construction site. As a dome was forming the group in the towers were analyzing the whole thing.

"What's the status of the anomaly?" The man with the lighter questioned his lackies.

"It's bio-emerging." One of the two said while typing on her console. Around town people were trying not to be run over by a black and green moped.

"Sorry new moped straight from the shop." The machine said as he kept a look out for a dino walking around which he found just leaving one of the park entrances. "Guilmon, I take it you know of what's going on." The possessed vehicle said before adding, "I'll explain this later: get on." The dino shrugged before gripping on to the handle bars and standing on the seat. 'I feel like I can…' He thought before feeling himself adding turbo boosters to the back of it and turning them on – full power. The two just got there before the strange red flashing of the watch and of the shockwave of the domes completion.

"How did you turn into that machine, Takatomon?" The raptor questioned but the goggle-head had other concerns so he decided to answer in a rushed tone.

"Don't know how; find out later. Come on." With that the two entered the strange fog both hoping that they hadn't missed out on the action. The two stopped beside Henry who had a run in with the support beam beside him.

'Oh no, it can't be: I didn't think I'd see him again.' Henry thought not noticing the arrival of his friends. The fog cleared around the new creatures and they all saw a black and white gorilla with a cannon for a right hand.

"Terriermon…" The creature said in a low growl after spotting the said creature before him. Both Takato and Guilmon were in awe at the creature before them.

"Wow, he's a big one. Who invited him to the party?" Takato questioned, wondering who brought this creature here. With aid from the red rookie's eyes Takato was able to get some data from his digivice. "Let's see: Gorillamon – He's a beast Digimon, Champion Level." As he was doing that the big eared creature was making small talk.

"Hi Gorillamon, it's been a long time." He then saw a metal object come down on him so he added a, "Whoa!" While dodging the metal beam

"Gorillamon, stop it! Don't you remember me?" Henry said to the black and white beast, hoping that he did. This action confused the Jurassic duo so Takato had to say in alarm.

"Henry what are you doing!" The orange vested boy ignored the goggle-head and continued his conversation with the ape.

"We played the game together." He said, still hoping that his words will reach him so the two did not have to fight again. As an answer the gorilla began to beat on his chest. "Listen to me. I won't let Terriermon fight you so just leave him alone; this isn't the game." Henry said, not liking the direction this meeting was going.

'He remembers, all right.' The dog creature thought in a serious way. The four watched as the ape was still beating his chest: egging them on to fight him.

"I take it you two have met before." Takato said, finally getting the gist of this meeting before glancing down and not liking that the watch was still red. 'And this thing is still down so I'll have to stand down if things get hairy.'

"Go back to the other side." Henry said too focused on his mission for peace to listen to his comrade. The four noticed that their visitor has long sense stopped his chest banging and was now staring at the four of them from that higher ledge.

"I don't think he's listening." Terriermon said to the others after seeing the intense look in the monkey man's eyes.

"Fight." Gorillamon said while beating his chest and the lizard was more than ready to oblige their visitor's request. He charged there but once he had his upper half on the high ledge the enemy was on he was put back down by Gorillamon's feet. Once the monkey landed he explained himself.

"Not you; him." He then looked at the three who were taking to the stairs that led to his view point. Guilmon tackled him with his right shoulder, but as soon as the monkey was down he was kicked off and landed on a support beam in a hand stand form.

"Hey, look I did it." He said in enjoyment at the thing he tried back in the park, but when gravity kicked in he added, "Oh, nuts." The little one saw that and was not pleased that he was missing out on all of the fun.

"Hey, no fair." Henry, who was on the landing saw his partner who was going to be the last one up there and knew what he was planning.

"Terriermon: don't!" He said in an order tone of voice. His command did not agree with the dog since he had something to say to that.

"Oh, come on, how come Guilmon gets to have all the fun?" He questioned in a whiny tone of voice.

"I told you before; I don't want you to fight!" He almost yelled at his digital ally. The Rookie then used the fight to his advantage.

"Tell that to Gorillamon." The yellow protected one understood the creature's perspective since it was his monster in the line of fire.

"Um…he does have a point, ya know." As the three were talking Guilmon was having his tail pulled while holding onto the support beam he was just on. Despite the pain he was still able to talk.

"I think I've had enough fun now." The ape wasn't listening since he was still pulling, and he didn't stop until his true enemy shouted to him in a ticked fashion.

"Hey, monkey boy!" The selected Champion pointed his gun, but the long eared one came to him as a glider, slapping him in the face, and making him nearly hit the humans.

"Get down!" Takato said before wrapping his left arm around Henry's shoulders and forced him down to the ground. They made it though that blast – barely.

"That was close." The logical one said while he was on the metal surface. Feeling irritated that his friend was making light of them almost being scraped so he said back in a sarcastic tone.

"Yeah that's one way of putting it." As the two were getting back up from the attack Terriermon decided to try something aside from an ear to the ape's face.

"Pellet blast!" He yelled before firing small green spheres from his mouth right onto the opponents face. All hits were right in between the eyes. Out of pain the gorilla growled in anger and held his head.

"Terriermon stop it!" Henry yelled out, not liking his comrade disobeying his orders.

"Well what do you expect me to do: stand down and let him peel Guilmon like a banana?" The long eared one questioned in anger. That was another thing that Henry did not want either but was there another option for them. He recalled the first fight between his Rookie and that monster of a Champion. Those same thoughts were running through the ape's mind as well, and once his head was done throbbing he turned to the two.

"He looks mad." Guilmon said before Terriermon and he dodged a straight on left punch. Even though he did not hit them he kept going until it hit a concrete post. This site was something that the goggle wearer could not handle as he said to the other human in alarm.

"They need help; we got to do something." He looked up from his kneeling position and saw that and saw one of the basic human instincts: fear.

'I can't.' Henry thought, not wanting the same incident that happened in cyberspace to happen here as well. The dependable one thought back to a day that his dad gave him and his sisters and brother some gifts. His eldest sister got a sleeve-less shirt that read: 'NBB ', the youngest sister received a gift but she feared the pretty ribbon more than what's inside, his brother received a pair of new sneakers that he was planning on breaking them in with a one on one basketball game that he had with an old friend; Henry on the other hand got one thing that he was really psyched of getting, "Wow, it's the new Digimon game." He said holding a light blue box with red letters. His father, who was sitting in an armchair while smiling at his family's joy about their gifts. He thought of how his dad had to wait in line to get it and that there was a whole mess of upgrades. Then there was his rejection of choosing Gorillamon and going with Terriermon. While those images were going through his head the battle still raged on.

"What ever he said, I'm sure he didn't mean it." Guilmon after seeing the gorilla tried to hit the Rookie with a metal club. He then tried to take a whack at the bigger monster.

"Way to go Guilmon!" Takato said, praising that his friend made an effective hit on their attacker.

"Run away!" Both Rookies said with Terriermon standing out of the way and the dino running away from the cannon wielder. Henry was still thinking of that one moment in time of the beginning of his theory of his friend and of Digimon as a whole. He recalled that he was done for the day but for some reason the computer refused to shut down and the young boy guessed that maybe his latest program froze that device until an idea dawned on him.

"Maybe…maybe Digimon have a reality outside the game, but that's not possible…is it?" He stared at the still running screen for an answer. Coming back to the present he finally spoke to his comrade. "He must have come from the other side." Takato was too busy watching the battle unfold to even hear the strange thing that he said next, "I brought him here: It's all my fault." He then thought back to that day – the day that he saw this very creature obliterate innocent by-stander Digimon and absorb their brand of life force. He could remember the exact measure of fear that he had that day. Thankfully when it came to Terriermon he missed, but just by a hair. "How's Terriermon supposed to beat him he's too small." Henry's past self said as he saw the battle.

'Henry sure picked a fine time to zone out during a battle.' Takato thought as he pulled away from the gorilla putting his creature in a headlock and running with it.

"What should I do? Modify cards…" The past Henry said as he saw the battle and mentally hoped that they still worked on his partner. "Terriermon it's time to make you faster – Speed activate: Digi-Modify, and I better give you some strength too; you're going to need it. Power activate: Digi-Modify." He said while sliding them through a scanner that came with the package. The tide in that battle quickly turned in the rabbit-dog's favor. "Way to use your head Terriermon he's down for the count. All right now it's time to sharpen up that aim of yours – Targeting activate: Digi-Modify." He said before slashing another card in the scanner. He then watched as his partner used his long range attack. "We're almost there. All you need is a little more energy to finish him off – Stamina activate: Digi-Modify." As soon as he slid that card something strange had happened to his alley transformed to his second form for the first time. He was still in wondering if he was the one that caused that or maybe it was something else. The newly formed gun wielder began shooting and against the ape's better judgment he fled from battle. "That's it yeah." Henry said in praise before he saw that his friend was still shooting only this time at nothing. "What have I done it's all my fault." He said as he stared at the screen he then heard the scream of his partner and was snapped back into reality. "Terriermon!" He exclaimed.

"You okay?" The red one questioned after catching the long-eared pop fly and placing him on the ground. When he looked up he saw the bad end of the cannon and heard their opponent's voice.

"Playtime's over." At that moment Takato picked up a pipe and raced down the stairs that they climbed up shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Hey: ape face over here." Already ticked off of meeting the creature that embarrassed him in battle he did not say anything to the human. Instead he pointed his cannon and fired; luckily the pipe was only disintegrated and he fell over the edge.

"Are you all right, Takato?" Henry asked after seeing the incident and headed over to see him on top of his cement bags. He stood up, dusted himself off and said back to his friend.

"Peachy." He then saw that his friend body checked Gorillamon and both were on the floor. "Guess I should try a modify card – Power activate: Digi-Modify." He said and pulled out the selected card from his back pocket and slid it through his digivice.

"Pyro—." He was stopped when the gorilla grabbed a nearby bag and shoved it in his mouth. This was not what the tamer wanted as an end result.

"Oh man, it didn't work, and Terriermon is too little to give off some real damage; maybe if he could just digivolves." Takato said while looking up at the other tamer who immediately voiced his opinion.

"I won't let him." This attitude did not make sense to the goggle-head – if they had a Champion level Digimon in their corner they should use it.

"Henry, why not?" That minor question from Takato made Henry think back to his conversation with his father back at their house. In short he was depressed of what happened to the small creature and his father assured him that all of the creatures that he saw weren't real just a bunch of zeros and ones, and at first he believed those words until his saw the still on screen of the battlefield. As he saw the now small Digimon on his screen he was over run by emotions: out of nowhere while he was begging or forgiveness a blue card appeared, and as soon as he saw it he used it. The scanner turned into a digivice and Terriermon was released into his room – still injured. He remembered their conversation and the promise that he made perfectly.

"You're real and look at what I've done to you." He then thought, 'And those other Digimon in the game: I hurt them too." He began to cry.

"Hey, excuse me. Do you mind, that stuff's kinda cold." The small one said after feeling the tears on his head.

"Terriermon, I'm so sorry." The human said with his tears of sorrow still in view.

"What for?" The rabbit/dog questioned; wondering of what this creature was talking about.

"I'll never make you fight again." Henry said as he fell to his knees, his fighting spirit gone.

"Hey, don't cry. I'm fine: see." Terriermon said as he got on top of his head and after hearing some soft sobs he added, "Momentai." When that word past the tamer returned once again to the present with his word buried in his head.

'I can't break my promise.' He thought to himself not even looking at Takato anymore.

'Henry has been out of it since the start.' Takato thought before looking over to the watch. 'I guess I should really give this thing a good test run.' He added before running off and leaving his cards behind. Once at a safe distance away from the fight and the in trance tamer he activated the watch. "I'll go with one that has muscle." He whispered while turning the dial and once he got to one that had a big build he slammed it, but something was wrong when he was done.

"Now what did I turn into?" The new one questioned before looking at his hands. "Great, I'm some sort of tissue paper man." He said before looking back at the battle and added, "No time to waste I'll just make things up as I go along." He ran as best as the body could to the battle.

'Who is that?' Gorillamon thought as he saw a walking heap of paper heading in their direction. The first thing that Takato tried was a in the air punch, but the ape countered by grabbing his wrist and threw him away. The trip was short-lived as he slammed into a beam.

"That could have gone better." The mummy said aloud before realizing that he was face to face with the gun. Out of instinct, at least that is what he hoped it was, he wrapped his fingers around the gun and forced it upward. The strange the was that even with that explosion Henry was still out of it. 'This may work.' He thought as he stood up and tried throwing him; he did but not far enough. Gorillamon got his footing back and ripped the bondage on his firing arm, spun him around, and threw him at the support to the landing before returning back to the battle of his kind. "Man, I seriously have to figure out what this guy can do before I'm used as ape-face's toilet paper." He mumbled before hearing something above him.

"Huh?" Henry said finally drawing out of his trance. He looked at the battlefield and then saw a mummy standing up and looking right at him.

"Henry, listen to me Terriermon has to digivolve to Gargomon now to really raise some shell." The mummy said to him before glancing over to the fight and once again saw that the monkey had his creature in a headlock while charging at one of the posts.

"There's got to be another way." He answered back while watching the fight before another thought entered his head. "Where's Takato? He was here a moment ago." After he said that he then looked down he whispered loud enough, "Takato…how."

"Later." He glanced over to where he fell and saw his cards. "My cards, they might help, but I doubt it." He said while pointing over to the pile of four cards. The pacifistic tamer ran over to the cards to see if there was anything they could do.

"I can't believe that we're all out of cards." Henry said angrily before seeing the card that just might help. "Unless…of coarse." That statement of exclamation caught the mummy's attention so he saw what he had found.

"What, that card?" The monster questioned and got a nod as his answer. "It's just a training card – what will that do?" He questioned still wondering what he was planning.

"Just watch and learn." He answered back before standing up and saw that his monster was running away so he said to his digital partner, "Terriermon, it's time for a little resistance." He then slashed the card in a fancy way while yelling out, "Digi-Modify: Training grips activate." The little one who took refuge behind his right leg raised his ears up and prepared himself for his gift, and when he appeared the bandaged one was still confused.

"You mind sharing of what your plan is pal." He questioned before seeing Terriermon throw his grips at Gorillamon who was now truly trapped in bondage.

"NO!" The Champion said in anger while trying to pull himself free. Around this time Takato got the gist of the plan.

"I get it now: with the training grips on him: he's too tied up to fight us." He said before looking at his creature who nodded before charging at the tangled enemy with the mummy right behind him. Both of them delivered devastating punches, and once the ape was on his back the long-eared one took over.

"Terrier tornado." He said before spinning around and launching a small twister at the opponent. As it was headed for him Takato had to tie himself down to one of the support column because he felt the air wanting to take him too. Luckily it didn't: Gorillamon went up before shooting back down – screaming at the top of his lungs.

"Well, what goes up must come down." Terriermon said after the enemy slammed down into the concrete back first and Guilmon agreed with him. All four of them were standing there the Digimon in front followed by Henry and Takato right behind him; they all wished it was all over but Gorillamon busted out of his oppression.

"That is one tough." The small creature said, admiring the fierceness that he was still showing. The bad thing for him was when he aimed his gun and Terriermon attacked then and there, "Pellet Blast." He shouted and instead of hitting the body he aimed for the barrel of the cannon witch forced him to self-destruct. Following tradition the rabbit like creature walked over ready to accept Gorillamon's life force.

"Wait, Terriermon I don't want you to absorb his data." Henry said with some concern that he may lose his friend if he did so. The small digital life form seemed disappointed, but he had an excellent way to make himself feel better.

"Can I at least do a little victory dance, can I?" He questioned in a good spirited voice. After that the Digital Field evaporated leaving the four of them alone in a construction site.

"So, what do you think happened to Gorillamon's data? Do you think it just disappeared?" Takato, still mummified, questioned his friend.

"I'm not really sure, but hopefully it went back to the other side." Henry answered back as he stared upward. Terriermon who was in his partner's arms looked up at him while the mummy and Guilmon stared upward as well. "Right now we have another problem: how did you transform into that thing Takato."

"I'll explain on a simple walk, come on." He said and headed out, grateful that it wasn't windy. Henry was about to protest but thought that the people around would think that it is a guy in a 'bad' mummy costume.

"That was amazing. You and Terriermon make great combination, ya know that." Takato, now human, said to his friend as the four of them stood on top of the bridge from earlier.

"Yeah, thanks Takato." The other male human said while looking over the street below.

"Why are you thanking him, he didn't do anything." The small creature said, perched on the rail, said to his teammate. 'Even though Takato did try to help me out as that mummy guy and failed.' He thought, thinking back to the fight.

"We're a good combination too." Guilmon said happily to his goggle partner who nodded with a smile: agreeing to his statement. He then added something strange, "Like Peanut Butter and Bananas."

"You're obsessed." Takato said with a chuckle. Terriermon decided to congratulate his partner.

"Hey, Henry…" He said to make his partner to look at him with a 'huh' look on his face before jumping on top of his head. "Momentai."

"Takatomon, I think I'm hungry again." The red dino said to his human friend.

"Guilmon, for the last time – I'm not a mon." Takato said with an annoyed sigh before adding, "Forget it; let's go eat."

"Okay, Takato." The red creature said to the boy; almost hinting that he knew that the tamer was not a monster. The four parted ways to get some rest and food with Henry thinking of something.

'First Takato, me, and that girl all get Digimon and now Takato gets his hands on a strange device; why do I have a bad feeling that we are really going to need that thing's help.'
