"And stay in there while I make dinner!" Evelyn Dare told Alex as she practically threw him into the bath with Guilmon. She shut the door behind them.

"I hate it when she does this" Alex mentioned, annoyed. "Not my fault my art teacher hates Digimon".

"Alexmon?"

"Guilmon, how is it you only do that sometimes instead of never?"

"Cause, I forget?"

"Of course you do..."

"When do you think its safe to leave? I don't want to get all pruny".

"Assume a good while at least" Alex mentioned. "I really don't want to make her any more angry".

"I wonder if she is still outside..." Guilmon wondered.


Dare arrived at the cafe, and saw Alex's parents immediately. She really wanted to hit them. A lot.

"Please control yourself" Agumon asked her.

"Sorry Agumon. Its just, people like them make me angry" Dare told her as she walked forward. "Better keep your distance for now, I don't want to deal with agitated versions of bad parents".

"Pretty much everything makes you angry though..." Agumon sighed.

Dare sat down across from them. "Alright, so what do you want?"

"We want to know a lot of things. How is Alex doing? Is he okay? Have you gotten that Digimon away from him yet?"

"He is doing fine, and you should know better then to ask that question" Dare told them, already a bit annoyed that they went to that topic. "They are inseperatable. You do realize they go to school together right?"

"Well, he shouldn't be anywhere near those things!" Mrs. Mason told her. "Its too dangerous!"

"So you punish him by not talking to him? That seems kind of cold" Dare mentioned.

"Well we can't just go and support him being around such hostile creatures!"

"One, most Digimon are not inheritantly hostile. Two, that is a pretty big leap from scolding to forcing him to choose. Repeatedly. When he always chooses Guilmon".

"Well, we have to put our foot down!"

"Yeah, the few hostile Digimon one encounters are dangerous, but so are people with guns!" Dare mentioned. "Alex and Guilmon are like family. Seriously, what is the deal with Digimon that makes you both hate them so much?"

"We don't hate them, we just don't want our son to be a Tamer, okay? He is meant to be a doctor or something, just not a Tamer".

"And why do you hate the Tamers so much?"

Mr. Mason looked away, crying. "We never told Alex this, but he was not our first child. We had another child, ten years before he was born. HIs name was Sebastian. He became a Tamer when he was eight...and during a battle with a Digimon one day, he just disappeared. Both him and the Digimon, and the only thing left was a large crater where the battle had happened. So you see, I don't want to watch another son disappear or die. Its too painful..."

"Oh wow..." Dare said. This was why they didn't want Alex to have a Digimon? Because he had an older brother who was a Tamer and disappeared or worse? That explained some things. "Still, are you saying it would be better for you if he was given a cold shoulder then just explaining this to him, or better yet, just accepting the truth?"

"We cant handle watching another son disappear".

Dare stood up as dispatch started to contact her radio. "Looks like you already are".

"Attention, Detective Dare, are you there?"

"Yes. What is it?"

"A Wild Digimon is Bio-emerging in your apartment building! This one is powerful enough that the Digital Field is evolving into a Digital Zone!"

There are a few differences between a (Digital) Battle Zone and a Digital Zone. A Battle Zone in manmade, created on purpose to lock down a battlefield. A Digital Zone is something that sometimes occurs naturally. It usually only generates when high level Digimon are in play, but are also known to form around ghost, mystic, holy, and psychic type Digimon more frequently. Technically though, any Digital Field has a chance of becoming a Digital Zone. Some people occasionally call a Battle Zone a Digital Zone, but that is only more confusing.

When a Digital Field becomes a Digital Zone, the area sort of warps and alters itself to whatever area in the Digital World the Digimon came from, or it warps itself to the raw whim of the Digimon itself. So, when a Ghost Digimon Bio-emerges and it becomes a Digital Zone, the entire area gets more spooky, and makes a lot less sense.

"Oh no...Alex..."


Guilmon finally finished trying to put on a bathrobe. "Guilmon, remind me again why we got you one of these when you have so much trouble putting it on?"

"Because its warm and comfy?"

"Okay Guilmon, just don't rip it. We had to get an extra large one" Alex mentioned, as they exited the bathroom. Of course, as soon as they did, Guilmon started reacting. "There is a Digimon nearby".

"Its not Agumon again, right? Or Babamon who lives down the hall? Or..."

"No, this new Digimon. Wild Digimon" Guilmon mentioned. Suddenly, every door in the apartment closed and locked itself, and every window stopped bringing in light. Alex quickly ran over ot the table and put his Digiwatch on, before trying to get a read on which Digimon this was and where it was.

"I can't lock the Battle Zone until I get a fix on its exact location".

"I cant even smell its exact location" Guilmon mentioned.

"Wait, how is that possible? YOu have one of the greatest noses of all Digimon".

"Maybe its a ghost Digimon?" Guilmon mentioned. Alex was not sure if Guilmon was being brilliant, or if he meant an actual ghost. He decided not to reply until he figured it out.

"I still cant get a lock, its like its everywhere inside this building" Alex mentioned, when suddenly the floorboards opened up and he was entangled by wires. "Okay, or maybe it is the building!"

However, Guilmon jumped up and bit right through the wires, freeing Alex. They both landed on the floor. "What Digimon is doing this?"

"I think we are in the middle of a Digital Zone. We need to take down this Digimon fast, everyone in the building could be at risk" Alex mentioned, grabbing his modify cards.

"Maybe you should put on pants too?"

"Riight. Towels don't have pockets".

Alex tried to get into his room, but the door was locked. "Great...Guilmon?"

"Pyro Bla..." Guilmon started, before the curtains reached out and dragged him away.

"Hold on Guilmon!" Alex said, taking out a modify card. "Digi-Modify! Leomon's Sword activate!"

Guilmon used the sword and cut the curtains. That was when, in the shreds, a Digimon showed up, and Alex finally got a lock on it. "Sprectremon, a Possessive Ghost Type Digimon. It has a habit of taking control of objects and people and using them to attack others".

"I didn't think Spectremon could take control of a whole apartment building Alexmon".

"His powers must be being amplified by the Digital Zone" Alex realized. Spectremon immediately started to try and run away. "I dont think so! Battle Zone Engage!"

Spectremon's escape was cut off, and now, they could have a direct battle. Guilmon blasted Alex's door open.

"Alex and Guilmon, claiming the fight!" he said as he scanned his ID. "Keep him busy for me for a bit Guilmon?"

"With pleasure!" Guilmon shouted. "Pyro Blaster!"

Alex quickly got dressed, because you don't fight Digimon in a towel and a bathrobe. He then re-emerged, and Guilmon was fighting the couch. "Hey! I like that couch!"

"Spectral Slash!" Spectremon shouted, appearing behind Alex. Alex dodged the attack, rolling next to Guilmon. "Ready Guilmon?"

"Lets do this!"

"Tag Team Activate!" they yelled as they high fived. Their Digi-Energy surrounded them.

"Do we Digivolve now?" Guilmon asked.

"No point, Spectremon is too fast and our attacks are too slow. Plus, this room is not big enough for Growlmon!" Alex told him as he took out a modify card. "But, I do have one idea! Digi-Modify! Speed Activate!"

Guilmon charged right at Spectremon, who did not bother to move as he was immune to all physical attacks. "Your charging at me?"

"Now Guilmon! Pyro Blaster!"

"Wait what? This isn't a..." he said, startled, as Guilmon jumped right up into his face and gave him a mouthful...litterally. Spectremon got sent backwards and hit a wall.

"Alright, now lets do this! Digi-Modify! Power Activate!"

"Pyro Blaster!" Guilmon shouted, delivering another direct hit.

"Alright Guilmon, now give it your..." Alex shouted, when all of a sudden they were in a massive forest. "Its Spectremon, he is messing with our minds!"

"How can you finish me off when you don't even know where I am? I think I know just what to do with you" Spectremon mentioned. "Limbo Prison!"

Suddenly, the trees came alive, and wrapped themselves around Alex. They started to squeeze him tight. Guilmon got trapped as well, and then Spectremon appeared in front of them. "Any last words?"

"Yeah, Guilmon still has power activated, and this is all in our minds. Now Guilmon!"

"Pyro Blaster!" Guilmon launched, breaking the illusion and bringing them back to the apartment. Spectremon was now seriously injured.

"Alright, Capture Module Engage!" Alex said, launching the capture device and having it spin around Spectremon. The Capture was successful, only instead of turning into a Digi-Egg, Spectremon just collapsed to the ground. "Subject Captured. Digimon ready for pickup. Warning, no Digi-Egg conversion upon successful capture".

"Noted Alex. Also, congratulations, two successes in one day" Command told him.


"You know, when I left you here, I thought you weren't going to get into any more trouble?" Dare questioned him, a bit harshly too.

"How is it my fault Spectremon Bio-Emerged in this building, and attacked me?" Alex questioned.

"Well, okay then" Dare admitted. "But please, try to avoid putting yourself in harms way for the next two days?"

"Alright, we can go to the amusement park for the whole day!"

"Thats not what...you know what, go ahead. At least if a Digimon does show up, there will certainly be another Tamer there to deal with it instead".

"Huray!" Alex and Guilmon yelled.


Peter and Falcomon knew they had to figure it out. Which is why tailing this man was a top priority. They had a very popular, very influential client, and if she spread the word about how great of work they do, Peter and Falcomon would start getting the big, interesting cases.

"How does it look Falcomon?" Peter asked over their comm devices.

"This guy is middle class right?" Falcomon replied.

"Yeah, why?"

"How can he afford...never mind".

"What happened?" Peter asked curiously as he and Falcomon regrouped so they could see the man together from a safe distance..

"He went to the hotel bar...and then a woman gave him some money and they are now heading towards the stairs" Falcomon told him. The two turned the corner, and then with their backs against the wall, slinked to the ground.

"You got the pictures at least?"

"Yep".

"Well, his wife was right. He was cheating on her...with a lot of different women who pay him for it" Peter sighed. "Whatever, we still cracked the case in record time. But lets just hope the next one is more interesting".

Suddenly, Peter's cell started to ring. He quickly recognized the caller ID. "What is it mom?"

"Just checking in to make sure you two are doing okay!"

"Yeah, we were just finishing up. Hey, what is for dinner?"

"Remember, I am not going to be home tonight. I need to organize the Digimon Division of the DPD".

"So, whatever we can find. Got it. Hey, is dad going to be home?"

"He is still working on the mainland. Try not to get into trouble!" she said, before hanging up.

THe two of them went on their way, looking for something to do. Peter was tempted to drop in on Alex and Guilmon, see what they were up to. However, before anything could happen, they looked down a dark alleyway they were passing.

"Strange, for a moment I thought I felt the presence of a Digimon Bio-Emerging..." Falcomon mentioned.

"So I was not the only one to feel that chill then?" Peter added, when suddenly, someone started to scream. Peter and Falcomon ran around the corner towards the screaming, and discovered it was coming from a young woman. A young woman under a red balloon which was floating into the sky.

"My son! My son is missing! He just disappeared off the street! Please, someone help me!"

"YOu think what we felt was connected?" Falcomon asked.

"I think we just got a new case" Peter mentioned.

What the hell is going on here? A Digimon shows up in Alex's apartment, and a young boy disappears off the street. Rather strange, I guess you will have to keep watching/reading to find out on Digimon: Battle Zone!
