Chapter 4

The next day, after school, everyone went to the computer lab except Yolei and Cody. Iinomon jumped into Yumi's arms, and it brought Yumi back to the good old days. Yolei came in with food from her family's convenient store, and gave it to the Digimon. Iinomon ate slowly, while the other In-Training Digimon ate like there was no tomorrow. Yumi smiled, and saw everyone else watching TV. It was about a kid named Ken, and about how smart he is. Yumi didn't care for it, and stood up when Cody came in. They went to the Digiworld, and Iinomon had returned to Miharumon. They got signals of Digieggs on their Digivices, and started following the signal. Yumi was just happy that Miharumon was there that she hardly noticed the hologram of the Digimon Emperor. Miharumon's familiar snarl warned her. "Leave! Only the Digidestined are allowed in the Digital World!" "We are the Digidestined!" Yumi snapped back. "Ha! That's impossible. Only perfect human beings can be Digidestined, and I'm the only perfect human being." "Yeah, perfect at being a jerk!" Yumi growled.

Miharumon completely agreed, and would have shot at him…if that had been him. Suddenly, he appeared on a Tyrannomon. "Hand over the girl and her Miharumon, and I won't have to destroy all of you." "I'll never help you make Miharumon Digivolve!" "Then she'll never Digivolve…because I'll destroy her!" "If you hurt Miharumon, then I'm gonna make you wish you had never stumbled across the Digiworld!" Veemon Armor-Digivolved to Flamedramon, but he brought out four more Tyrannomon. Hawkmon and Armadillomon Armor-Digivolved to Halsemon and Digmon, trying to help out Flamedramon.
He said, "The Digimon that can't Armor-Digivolve are useless. I'll just destroy them!" Miharumon shot a Howling Inferno, but it didn't do much. She grabbed onto Patamon and got Gatomon on her back before running, dodging the fire-hot attacks of multiple Tyrannomon. "We need to find the Digieggs! Now!" T.K., Kari, Cody, Yumi, and the three Digimon ran, following the signal. They ran into a cave, breathing heavily. Miharumon dropped Patamon, but her ears perked when she saw a strange light. "What's that?" She questioned, and went closer. Everyone followed, and saw four Digieggs. One had the Crest of Light, another had the Crest of Hope, the one next to that had the Crest of Trust, and the one on the end had the Crest of Loyalty.

"Whose Digieggs are these?" T.K. questioned. "I'm going to try to lift it. Maybe they're ours." The younger kids agreed, and, when they stepped closer, their Digivices changed to the model the new kids had. Yumi's was pure white, and she said, "I guess this means the eggs are ours." She lifted her Digiegg in unison with T.K. and Kari, and a bright light erupted from the small place. Miharumon Armor-Digivolved to Michiyomon. Michiyomon was like a mix between Metalgarurumon and Haramon. She had Haramon's body, but Metalgarurumon's armor, only white, lined with gold. Yumi looked at her in awe, and asked, "Michiyomon?" Her Digimon nodded, and said, "Let's go show the Digimon Emperor who's the boss around here!" Yumi nodded, but looked at the lone Digiegg. "The Crest of Trust…It must be Obana's!" Michiyomon nodded as Yumi got on her back.

They flew to where the others were, and saw that the Digimon had Dedigivolved. Michiyomon used Howling Missile, which was a missile that comes out of her chest. The Tyrannomon backed off when it landed in front of them, and Michiyomon snarled at the Digimon Emperor as she landed. Yumi got off, and asked, "Didn't you say she was useless?" Michiyomon's temper began flaring. "Let's see how 'useless' she is now." Yumi lifted her hands off Michiyomon, and she shot another Howling Missile. The Tyrannomon were about to get away when Nefertimon and Pegasusmon used Golden Noose, binding them, and the missile struck hard, destroying the dark rings. She snarled as she saw the Digimon Emperor escape, but Dedigivolved to Miharumon instead of trying to chase after him. She'd learned self-control, and she needed that now more than ever.

They went back home, and Yumi held Iinomon tight as she walked home with Kari. Everyone else would leave their Digimon at the school, but Yumi didn't want to be separated from Iinomon, and took her home. After eating dinner and taking a shower, Yumi climbed into bed with Iinomon. She remembered the night that Myotismon had beaten Iinomon, but Weregarurumon saved them, and how, on that same night, Myotismon had taken Gatomon. She felt uneasy, and the only thing that calmed her was Iinomon's sleeping form beside her. She smiled sleepily, and thought, At least Iinomon's with me. It makes me feel…safer.
