With teamwork, courage and strength, each individual threat that opposed each world had been averted, with the greatest of evil, Quartzmon, also falling at the hands of the various heroes and heroines of the five alternate timelines.
But unknown to each of the human worlds, the Digital Worlds were in peril once again.
While it was true Quartzmon had been stopped by Tagiru and Gumdramon, to the point his Data was reset into a purified Digi-Egg, before the worlds were broken up and placed back in their rightful timelines and eras, some of Quartzmon's evil had infected a handful of Digimon, turning them into a group called the Overlords.
And while it had taken them sometime, both to control Quartzmon's power, and not let it control them, as it had with Astamon, the Overlords used their might to merge all the Digital Worlds into one.
The Digidestined, Tamers, Legendary Warrior, DATS team and Fusion Digimon all learnt of this, joining forces once again and tried to defeat the overlords, but found they were no match for their power.
And to make matters worse, with their control of Quartzmon's power, the Overlords banished each human to their respective timeline, allowing them to defeat the heroic Digimon that much easier.
None of them survived, none but Agumon, Biyomon, Patamon, Gatomon, Veemon, Guilmon, Renamon, DATS Agumon, Rhythm, Shoutmon and Lunamon.
However, during their battle, Agumon, Patamon, Veemon, Guilmon, DATS Agumon and Shoutmon were all gravely injured, close to the point of death, where in Lunamon, concerned for the Digimon she loved, as well as the other remaining Digimon, suggested they take them to the place where the Overlords would not find them.
And though injured, Arresterdramon stayed back, sacrificing himself so Lunamon and the other girls could escape the Overlords and take the Digimon to a safe location.
-A while later-
Lunamon arrived at a hidden underground temple under an old tree, carrying the fallen form of Shoutmon to it, where the rabbit-like Digimon opened the door with a medallion that bore the symbol of the Fusion Fighters, which she wore close to her heart, allowing her access inside.
Taking in her surroundings, with the wooden walls covered in both vine and cables, Lunamon remembered that Shoutmon, when starting off as Digimon King, had constructed the secret sanctuary alongside Ballistamon, Dorulumon, Cutemon, Beelzemon and Mikey for two reasons, the first was to help Shoutmon and those close to him remain in top shape, should an enemy like Bagramon ever rise from the darkness.
The second was for what the girls were about to do; only Lunamon never imagined there'd be a time where such a crisis would call for it.
But breaking from her thoughts, Lunamon looked over, to Biyomon and saw her struggle to bring Agumon towards them.
Gatomon, though exhausted was still a Champion Level Digimon and had more strength, which allowed her to carry both Patamon and Veemon, while Renamon followed, holding Guilmon's unconscious form close to her.
And lastly, Rhythm, carried DATS Agumon on her back, remembering how he had protected her in the past, now she was determined to return his selflessness.
"This way. Hurry, before they come." Lunamon called as they dragged the male Digimon and headed inside.
Inside the chamber, there were tanks lying on the floor, where in Lunamon laid Shoutmon in one, causing the other female Digimon to do as Lunamon had done.
But curious about them, Gatomon asked. "So what do these tanks do?"
"Originally, these tanks were designed to treat injuries so Shoutmon and the other Fusion Fighters could stay strong, but there was a second reason they were made." Lunamon replied, before telling the girls. "Shoutmon feared another force would threaten our world and constructed the tanks to not only treat the injuries of those, but also to place them in a hibernate state, which would last for seven years. But once they awaken, not only will their bodies mature, giving them all more stamina and endurance, they'll be strong enough to stop the Overlords."
"But without the aid of our human partners, there is no other way for us to Digivolve, so what can we do?" Renamon asked, concerned for their worlds, the Digimon, but mostly Guilmon.
"We need to make the Overlords think they have won and forget about them." Lunamon said, her expression turning solemn.
"We have no choice."
With that said, Lunamon then placed her medallion in a hollow slot above a control panel, causing it to glow with a light red aura, before water filled up in the tanks, the lids slid shut over them and the male Digimon then entered their seven years of sleep.
"I am sorry, Agumon. But we need you alive. Please, stay safe." Biyomon said to Agumon.
"Patamon, Veemon. All of you are our last hope. Stay alive." Gatomon said to her two friends, part of her wishing she had spent more time with just them and wished she had taken Veemon a little more seriously.
"Stay alive for me, Guilmon. I hope we'll meet again in the future." Renamon said to the sleeping form of Guilmon.
"I hope we meet again, Agumon. I love you." Rhythm said as she looked at DATS Agumon's form, tearing up a little, but tried to remain strong, knowing it's what DATS Agumon would do.
"We lost most of the Fusion Fighters, we can't lose you too. Be safe, my King." Lunamon then said, before she and the other girls exited the temple, closed the door behind them, with Lunamon closing the entrance door to make the temple well hidden.
However, as they turned, the girls found they were trapped, confronted by the cloaked figures of the Overlord Digimon.
"Where are the others?" The leader demanded.
"They're gone. Burst into Data, and for that we'll never forgive you!" Rhythm lied, sticking to her words as she got into a fighting stance, doing what she thought DATS Agumon would do in her place.
"So they're gone at last, which means only you remain?" The leader questioned, before snapping his fingers, shocking the girls when Gabumon, Impmon, Gumdramon and the other heroic Digimon stood before them, now revived and under the Overlord's control, their skin now pale, with yellow cracks all over their bodies and their eyes glowing a shade of red.
Seeing the Digimon in such a state, Biyomon demanded an answer.
"What have you done to them!?" She cried.
"We revived them using our power. The leader spoke up, where they then added, sounding almost proud of their evil. "Kind of like what AxeKnightmon did to his Dark Generals, only we made sure to remove their Digi-Cores and souls so they won't think of rebelling against us."
"That means you have two choices, either you surrender to us, or you join the same fate as them." He then told the girls in a dark and sinister tone, bringing his arm up, his fingers ready to snap again, which caused most of the once heroic Digimon to prepare to attack.
Knowing they couldn't fight all their friends, the girls knew as long as the others were kept hidden and safe, there'd still be hope.
"Ok. We surrender. But rather than turn us evil, make us into your servants." Gatomon said, hating herself for what she said, feeling almost like she was residing with Myotismon.
"Turn us into your slaves." Renamon added sadly, bowing as she added. "We are yours' to do with as you desire."
With the girls relinquishing their freedom, the overlords smirked evilly.
"Very well. We'll modify your bodies for our serving needs and 'train' you all in our own way. We already captured one called AquaVeemon and she do the same as you. Chain them up!"
With no free will, the Digimon obeyed, with Gabumon and Tentomon handcuffing and chaining Biyomon's arms up, followed up by placing a chain collar on her neck.
Hawkmon and Wormmon did the same to Gatomon, Impmon and Cyberdramon chained up Renamon.
The now soulless Agunimon and Gaomon chained up Rhythm, while Ballistamon and Knightmon, once loyal subjects and friends with Lunamon were now the ones placing her in chains, saddening the rabbit-like Digimon at all she had lost and what was to happen to her and the others.
"Now, take them back to the castle to begin their body transformations, then set them to some chores to do, while we find the other surviving Digimon and enslave them so we can have control all over the Digital World as our fallen leader desires." The leader instructed, where in the corrupted Digimon did as they were told, yanked on the chains and lead their captured ex-comrades away.
But as the girls were escorted off, Renamon and Lunamon both looked back at the tree for one last time, putting their faith in the heroes that rested beneath it.
And from this point on, the Digital World fell to the hands of evil. Some of the other Digimon gone into hiding to avoid being captured as the revenant digimon search the world for them.
But unknown to the Overlords, the six Digimon who were thought to be deleted were still in the underground chambers, resting as their injuries were slowly being healed and their bodies were getting new strength, preparing them for the next seven years.
-Over at the Overlord's castle-
Seven years had passed, with the Overlords ruling over all the Digital World, keeping all traces of human out and crushing any who dared resist their order.
Currently, Biyomon, Gatomon, AquaVeemon, Renamon, Rhythm and Lunamon were in the middle of doing their slave duties.
All had their bodies modified, with Gatomon, Biyomon, Renamon, Lunamon and AquaVeemon all now has human female features, which included huge boobs, butts, belly buttons, curvy hips and vaginas, while Rhythm now took the form of a pink Agumon.
"I cannot believe they transformed our bodies to these slutty forms." Gatomon commented as used her boobs to wash the floor, knowing she could just use her hands, but due to the mental conditioning installed in her, Gatomon was helpless and forced to continue in her current position.
"I know, and they altered my Data completely." Rhythm said sadly, while polishing the statues with her butt, thinking about her Agumon and wondering if he'd still have the same feelings for her that he did when she had her human form.
"Other then cleaning duties, they make us perform in exortic shows." Biyomon said as she wiped the banisters with her butt and asked. "I mean, making us dance, showing off our bodies, how did it come to this?"
"It's our life now so we have to get use to it." Lunamon said sadly using her hips to wash the chairs, before secretly telling them. "Until they awaken that is."
"I hope so." Renamon said in reply, while using her boobs to wash the windows and looked out in sadness.
-Back at the hidden chamber-
As the six tanks were still lying on the floor, one of the lids slid open, to which Guilmon came out, spluttering and he spat out water and slowly opened his eyes after his long slumber, revealing his changes.
He was now an inch taller than Renamon and now had a muscular body.
His stomach was now like a six-pack, and all the childish-like behaviour from him was long gone, replaced by a mature personality.
"Aah... what the...? Where am I?" Guilmon wondered aloud in a deeper mature voice than usual as he put a hand to his forehead, trying to think. "All I can remember is my Tamer, Takato. Everything else is a blank."
But interrupted, Guilmon looked over as the next chamber opened and Agumon came out, showing he too had changed, gaining a more taller and muscular figure.
"Agumon?" Guilmon asked as Agumon looked at him.
"Guilmon? Have you any idea why we are inside these water tanks?" Agumon asked, just as puzzled as Guilmon, who shook his head and had to ask the Digimon of Courage. "No idea, but you do remember anything before all this?"
"All I can remember is there is a human named Tai, who is my partner. I don't remember anything else." Agumon told Guilmon, leaving both at a loss as to what had happened to cause them to forget who they were.
One by one the other tanks opened up, to which Patamon, Veemon, DATS Agumon and Shoutmon awakened as well, all with transformed bodies, and similar states of minds.
"Patamon, Veemon, you too?" Agumon asked, vaguely remembering the Digimon, knowing they were his friends and could be trusted, but beyond that, nothing.
"What happened?" Veemon asked, before saying as he rubbed his head. "I remember Davis, but nothing else. I'm sure I felt like this after Davis released me from beneath the Digi-Egg of... something..."
"TK is the only thing I can remember as well." Patamon said, then had to ask. "Why can't we remember our other friends or who we really are?"
"No idea, but the Boss is all I remember." DATS Agumon said, the phrase 'It's Fighting Time' came to his mind, which felt important to him.
"This chamber." Shoutmon said as he put his hands on the wall, thinking hard.
"I think I've been here before." He told the others, before facing them and adding. "And like you guys, I can recall one thing, a human named Mikey Kudo. I'm sure he helped me accomplish something important, I just can't remember what it was."
"This is strange. All of us have lost our memories, apart from the basics of our human partners." Patamon said, thinking hard as he remembered he and TK shared a title with their bond, only to then notice his form.
"And why are our bodies so different?" Patamon then asked, confused as to why he was now standing on two legs and had more of a human build than his memories perceived.
"I don't know, but I intend to find out. Let's get out of here." Veemon said in reply, looking for any signs of an exit.
"There should be a secret door around here somewhere." Shoutmon pointed out as he ran his hand over the walls, coming across a panel that then glowed the Fusion Fighter's symbol, causing a door to open and Shoutmon to say. "Ok, I think I found the exit."
With the way out found and many questions on their minds, the boys slowly make their way out of the temple base, but were all shocked to see the Digital World in a barren shape.
The sky was covered with dark clouds and most of the nature and forest filled areas were void of life, replaced by desolate wastelands.
"What happened to this world?" DATS Agumon asked, another question added to his already long list.
"Something must have happened while we were in those tanks." Shoutmon guessed, holding the medallion he had found, which felt important to him, as if it was crucial in finding out who he really was and decided to keep a close eye on it.
"If only we could remember more." Guilmon said, trying to remember what caused such devastation, but found he could only recall several memories revolving around him and Takato.
Too caught up in what had happened and wanting to know how it was caused, none of the Digimon were aware that behind them, their shadows suddenly gave off a sinister aura, which made the heroes turn around to see their shadows completely normal.
"That was odd." Veemon said, unsure what, but felt as though something was spying on him.
The same feeling affecting the others, only Agumon knew they had to get answers and spoke up.
"Something evil must have happened to this world. We need to find someone who might be able to help us." He said.
"Good idea." Patamon commented, only to ask. "But where do we start?"
"I can sense some Digimon down there." Guilmon spoke up, his heightened sense of smell and hearing allowed him to detect a small group of Digimon among the ruins of an old town.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Shoutmon said, ready to head off and uncover the truth.
And in agreement with Shoutmon, Agumon, Veemon, Patamon, Guilmon and DATS Agumon made their way to the ruins, to start their new journey in uncovering the past and fixing their present.
