Me: Well here I am, again. I do not own Medabots, or Digimon. I do own Vill, Viceblazer, Gran-Medabee, and Telga-Brass.

Medabee: Speaking of T.Brass, why did you make her act like ME?

Me: I don't know, it just came, now pipe down! I'm wondering about a couple of things: The difference between the regular medals, and the rare medals. I know the rare medals makes Medabots a bit stronger then normal ones, and they have the Medaforce, but I'm wondering about the personalities. I mean, they're suppose to make Medabots act on their own without a Medafighter, and yet Samurai acted on his own a bit in episode Ban Medabots. Does that mean he has a rare medal, or the regular medals can do that in emergencies?

Medabee: Don't look at me! Why don't you ask Ikki, if he was here?

Me: Maybe the reviewers will answer that, if they understand it. On with the fic! Oh this will contain a little of Ryo bashing.

---------------------------Medabots/Digimon Tamers- Digital Fever-------------------------------

Medabot corp. 7:00 PM

Night has almost fallen, and the Medafighters are about to pack it in. But first, unfinished business. A complete success for the Medabot crew. They found a Digimon, Otamamon, who was eager to help with helping the Digimon interference problem with the Medabots, Brass has Meda-Upgrade to Telga-Brass, but there was one little problem.

"How come you haven't changed back, Telga-Brass?" Erika asked her Medabot who was still in her Champion form.

The crew waited in the waiting room, waiting for Dr. Aki experimenting on Otamamon. The kids occupied themselves by doing the same thing they were doing earlier in the waiting room, except that Erika was talking to Telga-Brass so much to care what Ikki was doing right now, and the Screws are with them.

"I don't know, Erika. As much as I like this form, especially with the men drooling over me cause they think I'm a girl in a costume, there's no way your parents will even let me stay home."

"Oh don't say that! You know my parents can't get enough of you. Besides, you didn't grow that much to not fit in the house. You maybe taller then us kids, and Medabee's new form, but you're still no taller then Henry."

"I'm still wondering why I was acting like him back there."

"Must be that Medabots' personality changes when they Meda-Upgrade." Vill said, interrupting them. "We still have to find a way to change you back."

"Yeah, as Brass, I'm kind, shy, and innocent, but as Telga-Brass, I'm one crazy fighting machine, and I enjoyed every moment of it!"

A few minutes later, Dr. Aki came in with Otamamon in his arms, and Fenton perched on his shoulder. He had a bandage on his back, which is obvious he had a shot there.

"Man, doc, a loly wasn't worth that punishment!" Otamamon said.

"You just had a shot. You try being in a house on fire!" Fenton said.

"How about running from some mutant jello trying to delete your hide?"

"So what's the word, doctor?" Koji asked.

"Well I was correct. These 'Digimon' as you call them are made of data."

"How's that possible?" Vill asked.

"Long story, tell you later!" Otamamon said.

"Oh who do we have here?" Dr. Aki asked, looking at Telga-Brass. "That's a strange Brass costume."

"Aw doc, its me, Brass!"

"Yeah, this is Brass' Meda-Upgrade form, Telga-Brass!" Ikki said.

Dr. Aki got a closer look at the super Medabot, making her feel uncomfortable.

"Uh, I know I'm cute, but don't get up THAT close."

"Fascinating! She undergone a growth spurt, and a her superstructure seems more human then normal Medabots."

"Can you run that in English, not sciency dribble, please doctor?" she asked.

"Ah, and she even have an alter personality then her previous stage! Interesting!"

Medabee came up close to Telga-Brass, and whispered: "Man the dude was like this when I first met him."

"That's great and all, but y'all better step away, boy!" Telga-Brass shouted at Medabee. And then she turned to the doc with the same expression. "And you too, doc!"

"Oh sorry, but I would like to see your medal, if you don't mind?" Aki asked as he moved behind her, but she grabbed him by his collar.

"Doc, you can look, but DO NOT touch!"

"Yo what did I say about using....?" Medabee shouted before Telga-Brass shouted.

"Medabee, SHUT UP!"

"Geese, girl! Look who needs an anger management class."

"Yeah, I bet she took after Erika here." Ikki said which got him a glare from Erika.

"Hmm, she even developed a sense of female privacy too." Dr. Aki said. "Erika, will you?"

"Sure." Erika came behind her Medabot, who allowed her to, and looked for the hatch, but to her luck, she haven't found it. "Uh I can't find it. Maybe medals get completely stuck in this form."

"Hmm...." Dr. Aki rubbed his chin, observing Telga-Brass. "It would appear we need to return her back to her previous stage."

"You know, this Meda...Upgrade thing is a little based on Digivolution." Otamamon said.

"Digi.....what?" Sloan said.

"Its like this Meda whatsit. We Digimon evolve to bigger or smaller stronger Digimon. There are stages like Fresh, In-Training, Rookie, Champion, Ultimate, and Mega. Oh and there is also a level stronger then Mega, but that's only a rumor. Maybe it doesn't exist in our world. To my guess, she may be in the Champion stage."

"Hey I was too! Course I was always the champion!" Medabee said.

"Yeah, champion of fools!" Telga-Brass said.

"WHAT?!"

"Well back to the subject. We studied Otamamon's DNA while comparing a rare medal to it, and found a way to help the Medabots with the Digimon serge. Miss Caviar is already waiting for you all to let your Medabots' medals be upgraded. Koji you go first!"

"Finally!" Koji said as he and his malfunctioned Medabot, due to Otamamon's presents, walked in the lab.

"We'll deal with Telga-Brass as soon as she degrade back to Brass."

"Sure doc. Come on, Bras.....I mean Telga-Brass!" Erika said as she left the other way.

"Oh Karin. It'll get very dangerous out there, with all the dangerous Digimon, so how about...?" Ikki coolly said to Karin, before Erika dragged him away by the ear.

As the kids, who's Medabots don't need the vaccine program, left, Dr. Aki turned away from them, with a stern face.

"There's something strange going here, ever since these Digimon appeared. I wonder if this Meda-Upgrade is related to these creatures. We'll have to try to keep a low profile from the Dr. Medaevil. If he finds out about this, I don't want to even think about what will happen next."

Digimon Tamers zone- 7:10 PM

For the past few hours, Rika's troubles flew away when Renamon returned. She and her family was preparing a special dinner, honoring her return. After that, the two sat back near the small pond, before going to sleep. all was finally right in her life........well almost.

Henry was thrilled that Terriermon was back, especially Susie, who was also thrilled that Lopmon returned. She already had planned to make Terriermon and Lopmon her Prince Pretty Paints, to go along her Princess Pretty Paints, though Terriermon escaped her clutches, leaving poor Lopmon behind.

Ever since Guilmon came back, the young customers crowd around the little dinosaur, even though they thought it was a kid in a costume since they believed the Digimon disappeared forever. Ever since the creation of Guilmon bread, Guilmon became the stores mascot, and the store made more money then before, and ever since the D-Reaper incident, Takato became very popular in school, cause people liked him as Gallantmon.

Kazu also got the share of the share of the screaming fans, and his ego boost over the roof because of that. Kenta was in the sidelines with Kazu, cause Kazu tried to hog all the credit.

Jeri however, haven't gotten much public attention, even though she didn't care. She was glad that the danger was over. She has not let the loss of her Digimon, Leomon, get the best of her liked it did before, but Leomon's death still haunts her sometimes at night. Takato, Henry, Kazu, and Kenta does spend time with her though, especially Takato, though after Takato saved her from the D-Reaper, they have not become anything more then just friends.

It is unknown to how Ryo is doing. Rika believes he's out flanking with the girls in his town. Like she cares. The adventure did boost his ego like Kazu's, yet he hasn't made any moves on Rika, yet.

Ai and Mako were doing fine, even though they miss Impmon. Everyday they draw pictures of him, and they haven't fought one bit.

As for the mysterious Alice, it is unknown to where she is, or how she's doing ever since her Digimon, Dobermon, sacrificed himself to give the Tamers the power to bio-merge in the real world.

Takato and Guilmon was invited to a dinner at Rika's place. His parents already had a head start before him to help with Rika's parents with the food. Though Takato had second thoughts about this. Earlier he had an argument with Rika for reasons he couldn't understand, but still he was excited to got to the dinner. Takato walked in a slow pace behind Guilmon, who for some reason was very excited for going to the dinner, fearing that Rika will yell at him again. Guilmon noticed Takato walking slow at the corner of his eye and stopped to wait for him.

"Takatomon, what's wrong?"

"Oh.....nothing, boy. I'm okay, don't worry, we'll get there in time before Terriermon eats the entire table again."

"Okie dokie!"

"TAKATO!"

Takato snapped his head around when he heard that familiar voice, that came running toward him, waving to him while smiling.

"Huh.....Jeri!...Hi!" Takato said so nervously while blushing. Though he is happy to see her, considering he has a crush on her, something in his mind wished for her not to walk with him to Rika's.

Perched on her head lies the ever happy Calumon, singing some catchy rhyme. As he looked at Guilmon, he flew from Jeri's head and already the two Digimon were playing tag.

"Hi Takato. Are you going to Rika's dinner, too?"

"Uh.......yeah, you?"

"Sure! Henry, Kazu, and Kenta were also invited, except for Ryo, for some reason."

Takato silently sighed in relief for that one. He couldn't tolerate his cocky attitude a little. Plus, he doesn't know why, but he was a little angry when Henry told him that Ryo got Rika to give him all her power to him so that he can defeat the D-Reaper's large agents, even though it didn't do any good. But what got him angry was when Henry told him that Ryo called Rika, pumkin. (Sorry Ryo fans, but I can not tolerate him either.)

"Cool. Well I better be going before the food gets cold!" Takato said too quick as he tried to leave.

"Mind if I walk with you?" Jeri asked.

Takato stopped as his eyes bugged. Great, he doesn't want to have another argument with Rika again. The whole fight started over the subject about Jeri. Though why would he worry if Rika saw him with Jeri? Its not like Rika has a crush on him, or anything......does she?........Nah! Takato turned back around, with his face in a calm, happy look, though it still has a slight blush.

"Sure, I'll be glad if you do."

"Oh, terrific! I brought some sandwiches to add with the dinner they made." Jeri said, holding up a basket.

"Ah that's cool! Well we better get a move on!" Takato turned to his left, calling Guilmon and Calumon. With that, they were on there way to Rika's, though Takato still feels bothered about this.

Nonoka residents- 7:15 PM

As Jeri, Takato, and the Digimon showed up, they noticed that the entire crew, with the exception of Ryo, already showed up. The two, along with the Digimon got a warm welcome from the invited people of the dinner party, especially with Kazu giving Takato a headlock, and Rika just giving him a simple wave before leaving him. All of the Tamers family was there, even Henry's sensei, and his dad, who was one of the creators of the Digimon.

The people had settled down on there......laps, with the dinner before them. It was just like the last time when the Tamers' family cooked them a dinner in the D-Reaper incident. Though that was only with Takato, Rika, and Henry. Since now there was a lot more people this time, Takato's parents, and Henry's mom had to help. The parents were at one side while the kids was at the other. Susie sat next to Henry, who was at the end, holding Lopmon tightly in her arms. Guilmon sat next to Susie, while Rika sat between he and Takato. Jeri sat between Takato and Kazu, who he as usual, sat next to Kenta, giving him nuggies.

Terriermon danced around the table, admiring the food while singing.

"Wusabi, steak, and brustle sprout! I'm gonna eat till I pass out....WHOA!" Terriermon sang before Henry pulled his ears toward him.

"So what do you think of the décor?" Takato's dad said, as Guilmon admired the huge Guilmon bread.

"Guilmon bread! Guilmon bread! Its really shaped like my head!" Guilmon sang.

"It like deja vu!" Takato said.

"Renamon, why don't you join us?" Rika's grandmother said to Renamon, who was behind the kids in her own small table.

"No, I can't."

"I would ask, but I'm too hungry to care!" Kazu said, before Rika glared him an evil look. "Eep!"

After they all ate, Guilmon slumped down on his back, patting his stuffed stomach.

"Takatomon, how come you haven't drawn me a bigger tummy?"

"Guess I forgot to. Sorry, boy!"

"Geese, he almost ate the whole house!" Terriermon said.

"And how many have you eat?" Henry asked with a stern look.

After Terriermon stuffed a piece of steak, he said: "I lost count!"

"So Calumon, is Jeri your Tamer?" Rika's mother asked the little Digimon, who was stuffing himself some cream puffs.

"I don't have a Tamer. I just like to play."

"Then who is her Digimon, and why hasn't hers or Kazu's and Kenta's showed up?"

Jeri slumped her head down with a sad look while Kenta spoke.

"Well ours is still in the Digital World. We were gonna go back there to find them, tomorrow, which is why we have bags!"

"KENTA!!" Takato, Rika, and Henry shouted, making the boy with glasses cover his mouth.

"And....as for Jeri......" Takato said, not having the heart to finish, when he noticed her look.

"Oh........sorry." Rika's mother said.

"Its okay." Jeri said.

At that moment, they heard a loud knock from the front door.

"Now who could that be?" Henry's mother asked.

"Don't worry. I'll get it." Mr. Wong said.

As he walked through the hall, away from the dinning room, he opened the door and found a tall man with blond hair, shades, and a black suit.

"Yamaki? What are you doing here?" Mr. Wong asked.

"I need to speak with the children."

"Why don't you tell me why you need them?"

"Cause its strictly business that I must speak with them. This concerns them so much."

Takato, Henry, and Rika came behind Mr. Wong, which they noticed Yamaki at the front door.

"Yamaki? What do you want?" Takato asked.

"Well hello, Tamers. How did you like the presents I got you?" Yamaki asked with a grin.

"What present?" Henry asked. Yamaki pointed his eyes toward Terriermon for them, who was perched on Henry's shoulder.

"Wait! You mean you're the one who brought back our Digimon?" Rika asked. "How, and why?"

"Well after making the Juggernaut, which its function was suppose to delete all Digimon and it brought the Devas to the real world as you all know, we made some adjustments to open re-open a portal in the hut for your Digimon, and programmed it to let only you in and out!"

"Okay, but that doesn't explain why." Takato said.

"We have a situation. The Digimon have once again bio-emerged, but here's the interesting part: They didn't bio-emerged to our world."

"WHAT? Then where are they entering?" Mr. Wong asked.

"We don't know. Not only that, some of the Digimon disappeared. That information is well unknown as well. All we know that those Digimon didn't bio-emerged with the ones we're after. However, we do have the resources to follow the Digimon that bio-emerged, which is why I brought the children's Digimon here."

"So let me guess: You want us to follow the bio-emerged Digimon and find out why and how they're entering to some other world, right?" Rika asked.

"That is correct. I want all of the Tamers to help on this one. Even little Susie."

"WHAT?" Henry and Mr. Wong shouted.

"I'm sorry, but something tells me that there is more to this then what we see, and it requires the work of all of you to handle this."

"Terrific." Henry sighed.

"Well we can't get Ai and Mako. They're off on some family vacation." Takato said.

"We'll just have to make due, then." Yamaki said.

Mr. Wong sighed, looking at his son. Does he really have to let his children go on another dangerous adventure again?

"I know how you feel, Mr. Wong, but these are the responsibilities these kids were given as Tamers. We can't risk having what ever caused this problem reach here too. I refuse to have another D-Reaper or something far worse ruin our world." Yamaki said.

"I know. My wife isn't gonna take it this time."

"Yes. I suggest you should tell your family about this; They have a right to know. I have the van waiting for you, so I expect you kids to be at HQ if you can." Yamaki said before he left in the van waiting for the Tamers.

Mr. Wong slowly closed the door, and then looked at the kids with a worried look. Takato gave a lame grin before he said:

"Well what do you know? Guess it s back to work for us....heh, heh!.......We are in deep trouble!"

"Oh shut up, Goggle-Head!"

Medabots zone- Tenrio residents 8:00 PM

Ikki sat on his bed, thinking about the past events, while Medabee was admiring himself over the mirror. There was so much responsibilities Ikki had to hold. Protecting Medabee's rare medal from any harm, preparing for the World Championships coming soon, and now to protect any facts about the Meda-Upgrades, and keep the Digimon from wreaking the world. He just learned that a Medabot does not need a rare medal for the Meda-Upgrade, so he wonders if everyone he knows, who has a Medabot, will obtain it too, and if Koji learns it and master it, will he use it against Ikki in the Championships?

"Yo, Ikki! You still in la, la land?" Medabee asked.

"Huh? Oh, nothing. Just thinking about today."

"Yeah, I know! You should be when I burned the roof in my kick ass Meda-form!" Medabee turned back to the mirror as he flexed his arm parts. "Yeah! Gran-Medabee is in the house, y'all!"

From the reflection, he noticed Ikki in his thoughts again.

"Aw come on, man! You should be thrilled! I mean, we have, not only the Medaforce, but the Meda-Upgrade! And with that, we'll be holding the world cup while standing on a hill of Medabots that I'll mess up! KA POW!"

"That's what's bothering me. I mean Erika's Medabot can also Meda-Upgrade too."

"So what? She's not in the tournament."

"Think about it, Medabee. Now we know you don't need a rare medal to Meda-Upgrade...,"

"Really?"

"And if Brass can learn it so easily, then no doubt, as we speak, Koji is already trying to get his Sumilidon to Meda-Upgrade."

"No kidding."

"Even Samantha, course we don't have to worry about her!"

"And you don't have to worry about Koji either! If he did learn it, I'll just pop the Medaforce on Sumilidon. Not even that lame Shadow Sword will help him."

"Yeah, you do have a point."

"No kidding!"

"We can't let anyone else know about the Meda-Upgrade, so we can't use it in the tournament."

"Aw man!"

"But those Digimon! Why are they here in the first place? Otamamon doesn't even know why, neither."

"Yeah, some help that tadpole turned out to be."

A second later, Ikki's phone ranged. Ikki pickled it up and spoke.

"Hello! Tenrio residents!"

"Ikki!"

"Oh hey, Erika! How's things going with Bra.....I mean Telga-Brass?"

"She's still in her Meda-Upgrade form, but I got an idea on how to change her back. You remember when Medabee used the Medaforce on those bugs, and he changed back after that? Well I figure that I need to tire Telga-Brass out to change her back to Brass."

"Sounds like it makes sense! Well you better do it before tomorrow. Dr. Aki wants to check Brass' medal in the morning."

"I know. Well see you tomorrow!" ~click~

"Okay, Telga-Brass! You ready?"

"As ready as ever, Erika girl!"

"PILLOW FIGHT!!!!!"

Digimon Tamers zone- Nonaka residence 8:10 PM

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!"

"But mom..!"

"Don't 'but' me, Takato!"

As you can tell, the kids told their parents what they had to do in the Digital World, and as expected, their parents weren't too thrilled with the idea.

"We almost lost you when you faced that horrible creature!" Mrs. Wong shouted. "We do not want to be worried sick about you, again! What would happen if I lost you over some crazy adventure that has nothing to do with you?"

"Nothing to do with us? These are Digimon we're talking about!" Henry said.

"But you said that they're entering some other world!" Mrs. Matasuki said.

"Yeah, so?" Takato asked.

"Then it has nothing to do with us! For all we know, they probably went in to some world where crime is legal, or some place people take children, and...." Mrs. Wong shouted, almost breaking into tears.

"Whoa, somebody needs to Momentai!" Terriermon whispered to Henry.

"Shush!" Henry said.

"Look, mom, dad, everyone." Takato said. "We have to do this. As Tamers, the Digimon are our responsibility. We have such great power for the job, and with great power comes great responsibility."

"You watched that Spider-Man movie, haven't you?" Terriermon asked with a grin.

"Takato does have a point. We were chosen as Tamers for a reason, though we don't know why. But what ever the reason, we are what we are." Henry said. "Like Joe Kido said: Maybe we're the only ones who can do it!"

"Yeah, and if it wasn't for us against the D-Reaper, mom, we wouldn't be arguing here!" Rika said.

"We have to do this. Maybe its probably just a small job that isn't much of a huge deal, maybe this problem was started by the D-Reaper, or something worse. If we don't do something, that problem will come straight to us!" Henry said.

"Yeah, I remember that Spider-Man movie from America. When that Peter guy ignored that robber who stole from some wrestling place, cause he thought it wasn't his problem, well that crook killed his uncle later on. So it was his problem now." Takato said. "I know you REALLY don't like this, but we have to do this again. Besides, like Henry said, maybe the Digimon got to some other world by accident, no strings attached. So easy as pie!"

"But.......Takato......" Mrs. Matasuki sobbed.

"Let them go."

The mothers brought their attention to Rika's grandmother, and the fathers, who were still either at the dining table, or standing near a window.

"They proved themselves against that D-thing." Rika's grandmother said. "Besides, they have their Digimon to protect them, right?"

"And yes, Henry's friend is correct." Henry's sensei said. "They have great power, and they must use it for the greater good, and our safety."

"Look we're really sorry to tell you this, but if we would've snuck to the Digital World, we would've been in more trouble then right now." Henry said. "And dad knew this before you guys did, so...."

"Hey, you kids will be in college soon, so we might as well get used to this." Mr. Matasuki said.

"But they won't be in any danger like this at college!" his wife shouted while still in tears.

"Are you sure about that, hon?"

"DEAR!!"

"Dudes, if you're going, then we're going too!" Kazu said as he stood up.

"Yeah! Its our duty as gentlemen to watch out for the ladies!" Kenta said.

"Oh give me a break, you knucklebrains!" Rika said.

"Don't you mean knuckleheads?" Kenta asked.

"Whatever! Besides, you were going anywise, whether you like it or not."

Takato's mother came up to him and gave him a motherly hug, while she cried on his shoulder.

"You're everything to us, Takato. I wish you were still a baby so that I can always protect you, but I know, its your responsibility."

Takato hugged his mother back, and then said softly: "Don't worry mom, we'll be back soon, I promise."

Rika watched smiled warmly as she watched Takato giving such care to his mother, but her thoughts were interrupted when her mother hugged her tightly.

"Oh I just wish my little baby didn't have to do this! I just got you back!" she sobbed.

"MOM! Calm down! Its just a small job, just round up some Digimon back to where they came from. No big deal."

After Rika's mother let her go, her grandmother gave her gentle hug, and then after she let go, she turned her attention to Renamon.

"I expect you to look after Rika, Renamon."

"I will guard her with my life. Always."

Henry already got his goodbyes from his parents, even they agreed to let Susie come along.

"You be careful, Lee. And please look after your sister, okay." Henry's mother said.

"Don't you worry, ma'am! I'll guard Susie with my very life!" Lopmon said.

"And I'll.......what she said, only with Henry." Terriermon said. "Just kidding, I'll guard Susie too, if Lopmon here is out taking a number one, or a very long....."

"HEY!!!"

"Terriermon! That's it! No more MST 3000 when we get back!" (A/N: Mystery Science Theater 3000.)

"Aw nuts!"

"Ha ha!" Lopmon laughed.

As the group was about to leave, Kazu and Kenta joined in with them, which they already got permission from there, and Jeri was about to join too when....

"Young lady, where do you think you're going?"

Jeri gasped when she was stopped by her own father. Takato noticed the look her father was giving her. It was the same look he made when Takato brought Jeri home when they came back to the Digital World.

"Dad, I want to got with...."

"OF COURSE NOT!! Don't you remember what happened to you? I will not let my daughter endanger herself again!"

"Dad, I'm a Tamer, just like my friends, and I may not have a Digimon anymore, but he's still with me in my heart! Its my job too, whether you like it, or not!" Jeri said.

"Whoa! Go Jeri!" Kazu and Kenta said.

To her perspective, she believes that it was her Digimon, Leomon who gave her the strength in her Digivice to do damage to the core of the D-Reaper.

"No......I almost gave up my life to save you......."

Her father stood there in tears, shaking his fist. Through out the whole Digimon adventure, Jeri had learned to be strong. She had learned, from her old friend, that she has a lion's heart. As she kept her strong face that helped her stand up to her father, she slowly walked away toward her friends, until...

"Jeri?"

Jeri slowly turned back to her father, when he calmly called her.

"Yes?"

"........please be careful!"

Jeri smiled and then ran up to her father, giving him a goodbye hug, with her step mother joining in.

"I'll be okay, daddy!"

Yamaki sat in the driver's seat, waiting for the Tamers as he played with his lighter. His patients was wearing thin. Maybe their parents didn't agree this time. Maybe he should've snuck the kids out. But then again, he didn't want to get sued, or worse, arrested.

"HOLD THAT BUS!!"

Yamaki beamed when he heard Terriermon's voice. As he looked out in his right window, he sees the Tamers running toward the van with their book bags full of supplies, which they were gonna use them to go to the Digital World themselves. Along with them came Mr. Wong behind them. As the Tamers came up to the van, the doors side open, not by Yamaki, and they crowded in the vehicle.

"I see that your family must of agreed to let you go through with this." he said.

"Yeah, well they might as well get used to it, if any of them gets drafted or something!" Terriermon said. "Henry would probably get drafted as a nurse, of course."

"Terriermon! Don't make me punish you for the internet!"

"Shutting up!"

"We're all present and counted for!" Rika said. "So lets mix it up one more time!"

"Hey you haven't forgotten about little ol' me, have ya?"

Rika eyes went bug wide when she heard that voice, which to her was as worse as hearing a a chalkboard being scratched. She shuddered as she turned around to her right. As she did, a arm was placed over her neck, which belonged to none other then Ryo, the legendary Digimon Tamer who survived in the Digital World for a year once.

"Ryo?" Kazu said.

"That's my name! Who else will save you out of a jam, if I don't go, huh?" he asked with a confident smile. "By the way..." he looked over to Rika with a seductive look. "Hi ya doing, pumpkin?"

Takato and Henry wanted to pound him to the ground for that, but as they noticed Rika's cold face she was giving Ryo, they knew what was going to happen.

WHAP!!!!!!!

(Sound of hitting a car wall.)

"Ha, ha!" Terriermon laughed like Nelson Muntz, from the Simpsons.

Medabots zone- Medabots corp. 9:20 PM

In a dark room, filled with bi-peds, and large tubes filled with green liquid, Dr. Aki stood in front of one of them, with Fenton on his shoulder. His face wasn't filled with the goofy personality he wore in public, but a very serious mask.

"This game has become even more complex. First we have the problems with the rare medals, then the Medaforce, then Medaevil with his Giganko, and now we have Digital Monsters, and this Meda-Upgrade to be concerned of."

"These times has become pretty weird now, doc!" Fenton said.

"Yes. If the Rubber Robos find out about the Digimon or the Meda-Upgrade, I'm afraid that they will create force more powerful then Giganko, in their new medals they created." He paused for a minute as he looked at one of the tubes with a fossilized rare medal in it. "At first I thought the Meda-Upgrade process was a function only rare medals can posses, but after when Brass Meda-Upgraded....."

"That theory was proven wrong, right?" Fenton asked.

"Not really. Around that time, when I came back here, one of the fossilized rare medals was stolen. It couldn't be the Rubber Robos; The security here is tighter then around the entire building. Perhaps it has something to do with the Meda-Upgrade, and that power has something to do with the Digimon."

"You maybe right, doctor." Phantom Renegade said as he and Rokusho came out of the shadows.

"But the children seem to be very interested in achieving the Meda-Upgrade power." Rokusho said. "Shouldn't we stop them from doing so?"

"That's not an option, Rokusho." Dr. Aki said, without turning his head toward them. "I want to find out more of this Meda-Upgrade. I want you two to keep an eye on the children. Make sure the Rubber Robos does not know about this. And if the kids run into a Digimon, do not help them, unless if necessary."

"Yes, doctor." Rokusho and Renegade said.

"And Fenton here will be our eye in the sky."

"Sure doc!" he said as he flew with the two mysterious duo.

As the three left the lab, Dr. Aki turned on a screen that showed the tape of Gran-Medabee's appearance. As he watched it carefully, he wonder how are they gonna stop the Digimon from coming here, too. They need to find a way, he thought.

Digimon Tamers zone- Hypnos HQ 10:12 PM

The Tamers were told that the adventure beings first thing in the morning. They were given separate bedrooms, girls room and boys room. Takato walked down the dark hallway, which looks like something from a hospital, holding a glass of milk, and some cookies. He went up to a beam above the infamous Hypnos lab, where he saw the former ice hearted warrior, Rika, leaning on a railing watching the large blue grid ceiling.

"Um....hey Rika."

"Huh?" Rika shouted as she snapped her head towards him. "Oh its you, Goggle-Head. Why are you up?"

"I was just getting a snack from the mess room, but I could ask you the same thing."

"Just......couldn't sleep."

"Yeah.....me neither. Ryo snores louder then Henry."

"He snores that loud? HA! He probably does after I bruised his cheek and made him crash to the car door!"

"Yeah! He had it coming though!" he said as he lend her a cookie.

As Takato leaned on the railing with Rika, they stood in a long moment of silence, staring at the blue grid. The lack of talking of getting into both of them. Takato stomach was stirring trying to mention their argument they had earlier. He was wondering why did they argue.

"Um..........Rika........about earlier today........why....?"

"I'm sorry!"

"Sorry?.......For what?"

"About blowing on you that time." she was rubbing her hands, trying to say why she really yelled at him, even though she's still questioning to herself if that reason is true.........no, it had to be. But she was too afraid to even say it. Her heart was beating so much to reveal it. "Look.....I was still angry over the fact that Renamon was gone, okay!"

"I understand that. I'd missed Guilmon too liked that too, but they're back, and that's all that matters."

"Yeah, I know. But about the argument....um...... I really wasn't angry over Jeri. I was in one of my moods......and I really wanted to be alone.....so I brought up that subject." she said, biting her lip.

"That's why you......?"

It was getting hard for her to even speak the truth. Something in her was stopping her like a dam. "Damn it! Why can't I say it?" she asked herself, while still biting her lip. Then she swallowed, while trying to ask him something that she probably knows it will hurt her, but she has to know. "Uh......yeah.......but.....seriously, do you.....really like Jeri?"

Takato gulped as a slight blush came across his face. That was a question that he sometimes ask himself too. But one hand that said that he likes her was heavier then the one that said he doesn't.

"Well.........maybe......okay maybe I do like her. I mean I had a crush on her since I came to elementary, but.......I.."

Rika's heart felt like it was chopped with bear hands. It hurt really bad, but she couldn't show him how she feels about this now. She found herself caring for Takato too much, and if being with Jeri makes him happy, then so be it.

"But....what?" Rika asked, softly, trying to hold back her tears. ".......if you like Jeri.....then tell her."

At first Takato was expecting her to yell so much, the place will be covered with echoes, but this was not as he expected.

"You're......not....mad....at me?" he asked.

Rika forced a smile in her lips as she placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Why should I be, loverboy?....Look.....tomorrow.....you tell her straight out.....and say hi to Jeri for me while you're at it." she said as she gently pushed him toward the way to the boys bedroom.

Takato turned his head around back to Rika, smiled and said: "Thanks.....Rika."

Renamon watched the two from above, on a ceiling beam, with Calumon at his side. She was not liking Takato's decision, but she knows that this is something they must resolve on.

"Gee, the least he can do is give her the rest of the cookies." Calumon said.

Rika watched Takato walk back to his room, while a tear escaped her eye. She couldn't believe she did that. But then again, she was rejected.

"Hey Rika!" Takato called.

Rika wiped her tears before turning back to him with a okay face. "What?"

"Tell you what: If the world we're going to is civilized as here......maybe we can grab a bite to eat......just the two of us."

After Rika gave him a small smile and a nod, Takato continued back to his room. Rika moved backwards near the railing and then sat on the floor, leaning her back on the railing. As she hugged her knees, she let all her tears, that she held, out.

"I'll.....be waiting.....Goggle-Head!.....You damn better believe it!"

Renamon stood back up on the ceiling post, while Calumon cried at the sad scene.

"Rika...after all this time....you're all grown up." She quietly said. "But....I promise you, all will be right in the end." With that, she disappeared in the shadows.

"Gee, why does this remind me of something I saw on TV?"

Medabots zone- Tokyo suburbs 9:00 AM

Ikki and Medabee woke up early as they can for arriving at Dr. Aki's lab at ten. Ikki put on his usual red shirt, his dark blue shorts, shoes, and his Meda-Watch, while Medabee stretched and warmed up his Meda-Parts. The two bolted out the house and ran to Aki's place. Along the way, near the park, they ran into Erika, and Brass, who now Degraded back from Telga-Brass.

"Good morning, guys!" she greeted.

"Morning, Erika." Ikki greeted back. "Hey you got Brass back to normal!"

"Yep! Warring her out worked. All it took was a good pillow fight."

"So Brass! Back in the ol dig huh?" Medabee asked. "Guess no more imitating and insulting good ol lovable Medabee, huh?"

"Yes. Acting like a female you was a bit sickening to my taste, but I did enjoy angering you." she said while pinching his cheek. "By the way, lovable: no! Old: Defiantly yes!"

"Huh? Brass?" Ikki said. He couldn't believe this was coming from her voice box.

"WHAT?! YOU'RE CALLING ME OLD?"

"Um.......yes."

"WHY I OUTHA.....!!"

Brass came up close to his face with her sassy look, making Medabee blush.

"You'll what?"

"Uh.......well........"

Brass shrugged and then walked pass Erika .

"Lets hurry, Erika." she said.

Ikki, who's eyes still widened, moved closer to Erika's ear and whispered:

"Is it just me, or did she really called you Erika without the Miss part?"

"I know. Ever since she changed back, she's been acting very different. I found her dancing in one of my music, and yes, she stopped calling me Miss Erika."

"Does this bother you?"

"Not really. Actually I'm glad she doesn't call me that anymore. I feel very close to her now. She's still the same, nice, shy Medabot I knew though."

"Then what happen to that shyness around Medabee?"

"Don't know."

SLASH!!!!!

In the training room of Koji's huge mansion, Sumilidon slashed through one hologram target of Medabee after another. Koji was in sweat, straining to get Sumilidon achieve Meda-Upgrade, yet he just couldn't get it. He's been training since six, and the room was getting too hot for him. But he must find a way to Meda-Upgrade his Medabot.

"AGAIN SUMILIDON! DON'T HOLD BACK!"

He couldn't let Ikki get the best of him. At first he thought with Ikki having the Medaforce, he was unbeatable, but with the help of Space Medafighter X, he found a way to counteract the Medaforce, with an attack called the Shadow Sword, even though Ikki won with a different strategy. But now that he has the power of Meda-Upgration, not even the Shadow Sword will help him. He thought only rare medals can do that, but since Brass Meda-Upgrade, it opened him a door to opportunity. He knows that Ikki will use it in the Meda-Upgrade, so that is why he must train hard to obtain it. He will beat Ikki, and win the heart of the fair Karin.

"STRIKE NOW! SUMILIDON!"

CLANG!!!!!!

In the park, close to the streets, Samantha's Peppercat made another victory over Spike's Cyandog. Sam stood up proud beside her Medabot, while Spike was at his knees, holding his Medabot, while crying like a baby.

"Come on, Spike! Let reve up those EXP. I need experience, so that Peppercat can Meda-Upgrade."

"You sure Peppercat can do that?" Sloan asked.

"Hey if that prissy Medabot of Erika's can Meda-Upgrade, then so can Peppercat. If I get her to Meda-Upgrade, then I'll be unstoppable! I'll be a shoe in for the world championships!"

"But boss, the standings were official a month ago. Ikki is officially third in the top three of Japan."

Hrmp! Well next year then. But I'll embarrass Ikki if he win or lose when Peppercat upgrades. I bet she has a form more powerful then what I heard Medabee upgrades to, so Spike, get back to work and Ro-Battle!"

"But boss! Please have mercy!" he cried. "Cyandog is worn out beyond belief! PLEASE HAVE MERCY!"

"Spiiiike? Remember when you said you'll do anything I say when I fired you?"

"Yes boss."

"Well then....QUIT WHINING AND BRING ON THE EXP!"

At that moment, a fog has once again lifted over the side of the park, and most of the busy streets. The traffic came to a complete halt, and the people in the park, who was far away from the Screws, slowly paced avoiding bumping into something.

The Screws knew this way too well. Every time a fog comes, a Digimon appears. Spike, of course, was shaking out of his mind, but Sam and Sloan tried to remain calm, even though their knees are shaking.

"Uh....boss? You know what this means, right?" Sloan asked with a worried look.

Sam did her best to keep her cool. She reminded herself that her Medabot now a anti-electrical surge program, so now she's not helpless against the Digimon anymore, as well as Sloan and.......Sloan. As she gave a confident grin, with Peppercat in battle stance, she said:

"Yep! Change of plans! Its Digi-pounding time!"

In the heart of the fog, where the Screws were in, three energy gushers erupted from the floor. From the middle one came out a bee like Digimon with a yellow armor, a blue face, and some kind of a logo on the mask.

Two more Digimon entered through the other two vortexes. They were large boars with blazing fire coated around their bodies.

"Leave me alone!" the digital bee shouted. "PARALYZE STING!"

The bee pointed its butt thingy and fired its stingers at the fire boars, but the boars dodged the shots.

"You ain't getting a bit of my data! POISON POWDER!"

The bee flapped its wings hard to spread a poisonous powder, but then....

"NOSE BLASTER!!!"

The two boars blew fire that increased the heat around the area, stopping the bee from attacking and burning him off the air.

"What the heck is up with this?" Sam asked.

"I don't know, boss!" Sloan said.

The bee struggled to life its burned body up. It noticed the Screws behind it, and it raised a hand toward them, making them step back thinking its going to attack them.

"Hey......you human kids.....get back....these Digimon will incinerate you!"

"Calm down, gang! This little bug ain't gonna hurt us!" Sam said.

"But boss! You were shaking like a....!" Spike said.

"QUIET!!" Sam raised her wrist with the Meda-Watch near her mouth, and said: "Come on Peppercat! Lets put the Screws to em!"

Peppercat rushed to the boars, charging her claws full of electricity. The boars charged at the Medabot like raging bulls, but Peppercat jumped over them, and shocked them with her Lightning Jump attack.

Samantha grinned over the fact that she finally has the edge over the Digimon now. Thanks to Dr. Aki and Miss Caviar, her Medabot won't be effected by the digital surge.

"BULLET ATTACK!"

One of the boars charged at Peppercat with faster speed, and it was cover with a fire shield, like Flamedramon's Fire Rocket. Peppercat barely dodged the attack, and got hit in the legs.

Warning! Legs damage, 40%.

"So you wanna play hardball huh?" Sam shouted. "Come on, Screws!"

"Right boss! TRANSPORT TOTILIZER!"

Sloan pressed the transport button to transport his Medabot before him. He took out the medal from his Meda-Watch and placed it in his Medabot, activating Totilizer.

"You too, Spike!" Sam shouted.

"But boss, Cyandog is too beaten from Ro-Battling you!"

"Oh just terrific!" Sam sighed, embarrassed by her lackey. "Oh well. What good will he do anyway?"

As Totilizer joined Peppercat into battle, he fired his Gigalasers at on of the boar Digimon. The boar recover and fired another Nose Blaster at Totilizer.

"NO! TOTILIZER!" Sloan shouted. He knew his Medabot was built for power, but not for speed, so it didn't have the necessary reflexes to dodge the quick fire blast. But at least its defenses is pretty good.

Warining! Arms damage, 30%. Head damage, 20%

"Just keep on fighting! I'm not gonna let a bunch of freaks embarrass the Screws again!" Sam said.

"Now I resent that!" the bee shouted.

Digimon Tamers zone- Hypnos HQ 8:40 AM

Morning has arose in the Tamers world. Inside the boys bedroom, the male Tamers were still asleep in their respected bunk beds. Takato had slept in bed below Henry's, with Guilmon sleeping beside him. Kazu and Kenta shared a bunk bed, of course. Kazu had the bottom, since he liked to kick the bottom part of Kenta's mattress to tick him off. Ryo had a bunk bed all to himself, where he slept on the bottom one.

As they snored, a blond girl with dark clothes walked into the room with a tray of milk and pop-tarts. After she placed it on a table near the door, she pulled out a small gong, with a stick, and hit it to wake the boys up. Takato startled and instantly got up quick like the Undertaker.

"UH, I'M SORRY, MISS ASAGI! I PROMISE I WON'T FALL ASLEEP IN CLASS!"

"Geese, Takatomon, that's like freakin reflex to you, huh?" Terriermon said from Herny's bed, half awake.

"Oh.....heh heh!"

"Good morning, everyone. I have breakfast for all of you." the blonde girl said as she bowed in traditional Japanese manner.

"Oh thanks I....." Takato blinked twice when he recognized the girl. It was the same girl with the sad look, who help with their bio-merge problem. "Its you!"

As Henry woke up, he also blinked twice when he saw the blonde girl.

"Alice?"

"So we meet again." she said.

"We were wondering what happened to you. We haven't got the chance to thank you. If it wasn't for you...." Takato said.

"Don't...mention it." she said as she tilt her head down in a depressed look.

"Oh.....sorry." Takato said.

"If you want to talk, we know someone who almost went through the same thing." Henry said.

"No, that's okay."

"Dudes, who's the Goth chick?" Kazu asked as he, Kenta, and Ryo awoke from their beds and came to the others.

"This is Alice. She helped us reclaim our bio-merge powers." Henry said. "By the way, Alice, what are you doing here?"

"Oh one of my parents works with the Monster Makers."

"Is it the lady with the blonde hair?" Kenta asked.

"No. The man with the red beard."

"Shame on you for stereotyping." Terriermon said.

"Terriermon...!" Henry warned.

"What? What?"

"Oh, I brought you some breakfast." Alice said as she went back to get it. "I have pop-tarts and milk. Its all they have in the mess room right now."

"Cheep skate." Terriermon said.

"Terriermon..!" Henry warned a bit louder.

"What?"

"Eat up, guys. Yamaki wants you all in the lab in twenty minutes." she said as she left.

"Like that's enough time for the girls." Terriermon said as he stuffed a cherry pop tart.

"Come on! Its not like Rika wears make up. She fine the way she is." Takato said as Ryo raised an eyebrow, and Henry silently nodded.

"And what do you care? I thought you like Jeri?" Terriermon asked, making Takato blush.

"Well I'm sure they won't take long. All Jeri needs to do is brush and get dressed. She needs no make up." Henry said eating a grape pop-tart.

"And what about you?" Terriermon asked as he jumped on Henry's shoulder and whisper: "I thought you liked Rika?"

"What about you, Terriermon?" Henry asked, trying to fight his blush.

"What about me?"

"I always see you teasing Lopmon!"

"Yeah! I thought you only liked yourself?" Takato asked, making Terriermon blush.

"You're lucky I have tiny hands."

"Can we hurry up so we can get to the bathrooms quick?" Kenta asked. "We can't waste time going in one by one."

"Its like a public bathroom, dweeb!" Kazu said. "Sheesh! All of us can fit! Who are you, Joe?"

Kenta grunted angrily while the rest ate the tarts.

Medabots zone- East Tokyo Park 9:25 AM

Meanwhile, Ikki, Medabee, Erika, and Brass arrived near the park, where they noticed the huge Digital Field from afar.

"Uh, oh! You know what happens when a fog appears, right?" Erika asked Ikki.

"Yep! Trouble! Come on, guys! Lets get in that fog, quick!"

"How many times do I have to tell you? Its a Digital Field!"

As the crew turned their heads to the right, Ikki eyes went to ga ga mode when Karin ran towards them, with Otamamon on her head.

"I'm glad you guys came." Karin said. "Otamamon here said he sensed some more of these Digimon."

"I was wondering where Otamamon went." Erika said.

"Oh forgive me! I let Otamamon stay the pond in my backyard."

"Yeah! That pond was like paradise!" Otamamon said gratefully.

"Gee you're always caring to people and bridges, and now to Digimon." Ikki said all goofy.

"I'm pretty sure not all Digimon are bad, like this nice cute little guy!" Karin said as she petted Otamamon, making him blush and Ikki ticked to his mind.

"That's great and all, but can we get to that Digital Field before some Godzilla monster comes out?" Erika asked.

"Oh I'm sorry!" Karin said as she prepared her Meda-Watch. "TRANSPORT NUTRANURSE!"

After the Medabot was transported, and Karin placed the medal in her bot, the Medafighters head off to save the day.

"PEPPERCAT! ELECTRIC SHOCK ATTACK!!"

Peppercat thrust her claws to one of the boars and shocked it in the face, but she was blasted away by the other boar with a Nose Blaster.

"GAH! SLOAN! DO SOMETHING!" Sam shouted.

Just when Sloan was going to command Totilizer to blast the other digital boar, the Digimon was charging at the Medabot. Sloan changed strategy by ordering his Medabot to use his strength to stop the boar. Totilizer stopped the boar, and now the two were in a match of strength.

The other boar was still paralyzed from Peppercat's attack, and the Medabot recover from the fire blast. Sam grinned, when she saw the chance to blow away the Digimon who was engaging Totilizer.

"Peppercat! Take out that other pig with a Lightning Jump!" Sam shouted.

As Peppercat rushed to the Digimon with a electric fist....

"CAT KICK!!"

Peppercat was stopped in the face by a hard kick from nowhere.

Head damage! 50% damage!

"What the hell..? Where did that come from?" Sam said.

"Boss! Look up there!" Spike shouted as he pointed to a small black cat creature that was up in the air.

After it gracefully landed near Peppercat, it smiled evilly at Samantha, and said in a female voice:

"So these are the human weapons of this pitiful human world, I heard so much about."

"What the heck is that feline freak?" Sam asked as the bee Digimon finally recover from the fire.

"Aw shot! That's BlackGatomon! A dark, virus version of Gatomon, champion level! She gives the new meaning of bad luck with her Cat Punch, and Cat Kick!" the bee said.

"Ooo how original!" Medabee said as he and the group finally reached through the fog.

"Otamamon, what's that bee, and the boars?" Erika asked.

"Oh that bee is Honeybeemon. A data type, Armored level Digimon. He's as friendly as one can 'bee' ~laughs~. His attack is Poison Powder, the name explains it, and Paralyze Sting, that name explains it too."

"So its just some Winnie the Pooh rip huh?" Medabee joked.

"HEY!!!" Honeybeemon shouted.

"And those things are Boarmons, another data, Armored type Digimon. The fire fur shows ya that they live near hot places. Their attack is Nose Blaster.."

"Nose Blaster? HA! What a corny name!" Medabee laughed.

"Shut up! Anyway, it blows fire form his nose, and the other attack is Bullet Attack, a fire charging tackle makes the Fire Rocket almost look like a mild barbecue."

"Come on, Medabee!" Ikki said as he prepared his watch.

"Yeah! Lets get Meda-busy!"

Medabee, and Brass rushed in to help out the Screws' Medabots. The Boarmon #1 fired a Nose Blaster straight at Medabee, but Medabee dodged it just like the Phoenix's fire breath, and punched the boar at the side of its face. Brass fired her laser cannons at Boarmon #2, though it was working fine, until Boarmon flared up a fire aura, that blocked the shots, and he used a Bullet Attack, which Brass didn't had no time to dodge.

"BRASS!" Erika cried.

"Nutrawall!" Karin shouted.

At the last minute, it was like deja vu with Belzelga, when Nutranurse saved Brass with an energy wall coming from Nutranurse's head part. And now it was doing the job once again against the Bullet Attack.

"Thank you, Nutranurse!" Erika said as she sweated.

"Nutrawall will hold off that attack, now go!" Karin said.

Erika was amassed by Karin change of personality. Around them, she's a kind and generous girl, but when she Ro-Battles, she a totally different person.....sometimes.

"Brass! Get behind that pig and fire!" Erika shouted.

"Gotcha!"

Brass ran behind Boarmon and fired her cannons at his back, causing a deal of pain on the Digimon. While he was stunned, Brass grabbed his fire tail, and swung him around in a cyclone and tossed him far to the fountain, and as it fell in the water, it put out its fire and it lost the energy to go on, and he was deleted.

"Whoo! That burned!" Brass shouted as she waved her hands around.

Meanwhile Medabee grabbed the Boarmon #1 and tried to beat its strength by picking him up, but it was too strong. Medabee remembered a tip he got from Rokusho when he was Ro-Battling the Rubber Robos, so he let go of the horns, moved back, and quickly fired his seeker missiles at the Boarmon's face. The Boarmon still haven't gave; This one didn't get much damage as the one that fought Totilizer. But speaking of whom, Totilizer came to Medabee's side and fired a huge laser blast, knocking the Digimon far back.

"About time you got here, turtle boy! Lets pound this Digi-fool to the ground!" Medabee shouted.

"Lets!"

Meanwhile Peppercat went with one electric attack after another, but she was having trouble connecting a hit on BlackGatomon. BlackGatomon threw a Cat Kick, which Peppercat dodged, then the Medabot thrust a electric fist, but BlackGatomon swiftly dodged it and then Cat Punched her hard to a tree.

"PEPPERCAT!"

"Humph! What a pathetic imitation of a feline!" BlackGatomon said. "You're like a Rookie to us Digimon!"

"Somebody should de-claw you, you fur-ball freak!" Sam shouted.

BlackGatomon snapped to Sam with feral eyes and claws ready as she shouted: "I had just about enough with you calling us Digimon freaks, human!"

Just when she was going to claw Sam, Brass came and kicked the dark cat in the gut. Nutranurse came to Peppercat's aid, and used her healing ability to heal all of Peppercat's injuries. As Erika and Karin came to Samantha's side, she tried to rid her expression that showed that she was happy to see them, with a annoyed one.

"Hey! What are you doing here! I got things under control!"

"If you call getting your butt whooped under control, then yeah!" Erika said. "Now lets put this kitty back in the litter box!"

As BlackGatomon pushed herself up, she found herself being surrounded by the female Medabots, especially one pissed off Peppercat, who has electricity surging through her hands.

"She's mine!" Peppercat shouted as she charged at the black cat, and swung a electric fist, but BlackGatomon jumped out of the way and Cat Kicked her on the head.

Brass fired her laser cannons right in BlackGatomon's way, allowing Peppercat to recover, and swung both fists of electricity, but this time it finally made impact and sending the dark feline up in the air.

"Enough of this you techno hussies!" BlackGatomon shouted as she charged her claws with dark energy, powering up for a more powerful Cat Punch.

BlackGatomon dived back down at Peppercat, about to deliver a stronger Cat Punch. As she was close enough, she swung, but only to hit an energy wall created by Nutranurse. The power of the force field was too great, and the force send the Digimon back up in the air.

"NOW!" Erika shouted as Brass and Peppercat jumped on to Nutranurse's hands. The two female Medabots jumped off while Nutranurse threw them up, and as soon as they met with the flying virus type...

"LIGHTNING JUMP!!!"

"LASER CANNONS!!"

The two uppercut the cat while using their attacks. BlackGatomon was flown far from the robots, and hit the ground hard. She didn't delete, but she was unconscious.

"ALRIGHT!" Erika and Karin cheered as they high fived each other, but Sam stood there, trying to look serious and proud, while holding her excitement.

"See. I told you these Digi things are nothing compared to the Screws."

"Whatever." Erika said, coldly.

"MISSILES LAUNCHED!!"

Just then, they saw a flying pig flown past them and crashed into a tree, by Medabee's seeker missiles, just before being deleted.

"Yeah! Who's the hot stuff, now?" Medabee said as he walked near the female Medabots, staring at the flowing data of the Boarmon.

"More like a Hot head!" Brass said.

"HEY!!!"

At that moment, the flowing data from the Boarmons, flew by the group, pass the lying body of BlackGatomon, and stopped near a new opened vortex. A strange witch doctor like Digimon raised from the vortex, and absorbed the data. After it was done, it walked slowly toward the virus type Digimon, and picked her up by the fur.

"You disappoint me, BlackGatomon." it said. "You can't even defeat pitiful weapons, created by humans."

"P..Please, master! Spear me!"

"You're lucky you have one chance!"

"Why do these Digimon call us weapons?" Medabee asked. "I'm nobody's weapon!"

"Alright, just what is that thing, anyway?" Ikki asked.

"That's Baronmon: A virus type, Armored level Digimon. This demon man Digimon calls forth data with his captivating dance, which is like shooting stars." Otamamon said. "Why is a champion level Digimon taking orders from an Armored level? Isn't Armor level Digimon a bit weaker then Champions?"

"Depends." Honeybeemon said. "Let me take a look." After he pulled down his face, the logo, which is actually the crest of knowledge, started to glow. He stared at the demon man Digimon, and then gasped. "Whoa! His power level is pretty high for a armor level. He's like a high level Champion. Maybe close to an Ultimate."

"Oh that's just great!" Medabee sarcastically said.

"What do you want?" Ikki shouted at the virus type. "Are you the one who sent all these Digimon here?"

"My goodness, no. I'm curious as you to why we're here, but the fact is, as soon as I gather enough power, I'll simply finish off what the Sovereign haven't finished: rule the human world as we were meant to be!"

"Greaaaat." Medabee and Brass said.

Digimon Tamers zone- Hypnos HQ- 9:10 AM

The Tamers, male and female, joined up with each other after finishing their morning business. They walked down through the halls, heading to the lab. Henry wasn't very thrilled about letting his little sister coming along. As a matter a fact, he wasn't happy when he found out that Susie was a Tamer, and her Digimon was one of the Devas. He did what ever he could to finish off the job quickly so that he can get his sister home safely, but almost destroyed Terriermon in the process. She wanted to come along, and Yamaki wanted all the Tamers on this mission, so Henry vows to do what ever it takes to keep his sister safe.

"You're late." Yamaki said from his chair, as the Tamers arrived in the lab, the same lab with the high chairs that the two women that worked for Yamaki used to be on.

"Sorry, sir. Bathroom business and stuff." Takato said.

"Nevermind." Yamaki said as he got off from his chair and walked toward a doorway. "Follow me."

The kids followed Yamaki to a larger room, with the machine that is the Juggernant, only its rebuilt to look like some kind of transporter.

"Whoa! You've been busy, Scotty!" Terriermon joked.

"Terriermon, what did I tell you about using Star Trek jokes?" Henry asked.

"This was the Juggernaunt generator, which I'm sure you well remembered." Yamaki said.

"How can we forget?" Rika said as she rolled her eyes.

"Well this has been modified to a Digi-Port transporter. We used that bug, which opened a port for the Devas, to our advantage."

"Why can't we use the one in Guilmon's hut?" Takato asked.

"Out of the question. That one only could last for a day at least, which no doubt closed up. We program this to send you to the point where a port just opened up to the other world."

"Ah, so we meet again, Tamers!" said a mysterious voice.

Near the left side of the transporter, four figures walked toward the group. One of them was Alice, the other was Mr. Wong, one was a man with a red beard with glasses named Dolphin, and the other was red beard man named Shibumi, the man who continued to work on the Digimon project after it was cut off.

"Hey, Mr. Azuno! How ya been?" Takato asked.

"Great! Glad to see that you got your Digimon back. Hey sorry about the whole red card thing, but you know everyone makes mistakes, even us Monster Makers." Shibumi said.

"Hey, no problem. At least we didn't change back at the wrong time." Takato said.

"Hey dad, where's the rest of your friends, and what happened to our Digi-Vices?" Henry asked.

"Well the others couldn't make it, and sorry for not asking, son, but we made some modifications on your D-Arcs."

(A/N: You think I'm gonna call them D-Powers? Please!)

"What modifications?" Henry asked.

"We programmed a radio to keep so we can keep in contact with each other. Its a little something that's linked to the Digital World, like its linked to the internet, so that we can contact you no matter where you are. It was also based on what we used to contact you in your Mega forms. Oh and here's a little something I think you'll love. Alice?"

Alice pulled opened up a book bag, and pulled out a large device that looks like a gray Game Gear or something. Takato's eyes widened and his jaw dropped when he recognized the device.

"That looks like the D- Terminal from the Digimon Zero show!" he shouted. (A/N: Digimon season 2)

"Yep, as seen on TV." Shibumi laughed. "I made these D- Terminals to work just like the ones on the show, except you probably won't keep Digi-Eggs in. Its just so that you guys can keep in touch with each other incase you separate. After all, you guys will probably enter to some Godzilla world, or some place that's like the Planet of the Apes."

Each one was given a D- Terminal, except Susie.

"Sorry Susie. There wasn't enough to go around." Shibumi said.

"Aw...." Susie sighed as she hung her head.

"Don't worry, Susie. We'll share!" Henry said.

"AH! REALLY, HEWRY?"

"Oh and another thing." Shibumi said as he gave Takato a CD.

"What's this?"

"We'll tell you later."

"Alright, now that's done, Riley, Talley, start the transporter." Yamaki said.

"Yes sir." As Riley typed some computer stuff, the machine started to run. Few seconds later the platforms, which defiantly looks like something from Star Trek, started to light up. "We are ready for take off!"

"Well, its now or never." Yamaki said as he played with his lighter. "Alright, children, get in to the platform."

The Tamers stood on the circular platforms, with the Digimon by their sides, even Calumon. Takato, and Henry couldn't help but feel like they were in Star Trek, and neither can Terriermon.

"Alright, the transporter is also linked to your D-Arcs, so you have to use them to open up the portal. You know the magic words." Shibumi said.

Takato, Henry, Kazu, and Kenta smiled at each other, knowing what Shibumi meant. The others knew too, but they didn't want to get too excited about it. After all, its just a line from the show.

"You heard him!" Terriermon shouted, then shouted in his William Shackner impression . "Beam us up,...Scotty!"

As the Tamers nodded at each other, they raised their Digi-vices high above their heads and shouted those words.

"DIGI-PORT OPEN!!!!"

As their Digi-Vices glowed in different colors, the transporter shined so bright, the Hypnos and the Monster Makers had to cover their eyes. The dissipated into data and their data flew though a portal, the machine made, and then the light started to die down, which it got to a point where it didn't blind the others.

"Alright, Talley, close the portal!" Yamaki shouted.

"Yes sir!"

Just as she was typing commands to close the portal, some figure about the size of the Tamers jumped in the Digi-Port, and followed the Tamers. Shibumi was the only one who saw who it was.

"What? ALICE! She jumped in the Digi-Port!" he shouted.

"WHAT? ALICE!!!" her father shouted as she ran to the portal, but he was too late, the portal close up. "No....."

"Can you get her back?" Mr. Wong asked.

"We can't. We only have enough power to send them in the Digital World, keep the line up for us to contact them, and send them home." Riley said.

"We only get one chance to get them home!" Talley said.

"Damn! Get me on their communicators when they get there!" Yamaki said.

Digital World 9:30 AM

The Digital World of the Tamers. Unlike the Digital World of the DigiDestined, this one is mostly a wasteland. There's not a lot of civilizations cause Digimon always kill each other to absorb data. Right now the place was even more of a wasteland because of the D-Reaper.

A light appeared high above the sky, and soon the Tamers fell from it, landing gently, but not too gently on the desert ground. The Tamers and the Digimon grunted in pain as they were pilled up on each other.

"Ouch! Now I know how the DigiDestined feels about this Digi-Port thing." Takato said as he was on the bottom of the pile.

"Hey someone's foot is on my face!" Terriermon shouted.

"Sorry." Guilmon said.

"Who's hand is touching my ass?" Rika asked in a angry manner, while she was almost on the top.

"Ah come on! I know you like it!" Ryo said in that seductive look again, while he was on the top.

"Oh you little....!" Rika pulled herself up, making Ryo fall off the Tamer hill, and land on the back of his head.

"Ow, I think I hit my skull on a rock."

"Hope its broken!" Rika coldly said.

After the Tamers got off from each other, a beep in a melody from the Digimon theme song ranged from Takato's D-Arc. As he picked it up, he pressed a button to pick up the call.

"Uh...hello?"

"Takato, we have a problem."

"Already? We haven't even started yet, sir."

"You will be joined up by a unexpected visitor."

At that moment, a flash came from the sky, and as they looked up, they found Alice falling toward them.

"Alice?" Rika shouted.

"I got her!" Kazu shouted as he ran to catch her. Though he did, he fell down on his back, with Alice's behind on his face. "Ow, though this is kind of nice, but I hope my nose didn't get busted!"

"Thank you." she said.

"Uh....don't mention it. Now can you get off of me?"

"Sorry...."

As the two got up, the rest of the Tamers ran to them, with surprised looks.

"Alice, what are you doing here?" Rika asked.

"I had to come! Something just lure me here!"

"But what can you do? You don't have a Digimon." Ryo said, which he got a glare from Jeri after that. "Oh uh......join the club."

After Rika smacked Ryo hard on the head, Takato came back to the radio.

"Sir, is there a way to get Alice back?"

"That's not highly possible. We only have power to return you home only once. We can't risk the power or you'll never get home."

Just then, Dolphin took over the radio.

"Just please make sure my daughter will be safe!"

"Don't worry, sir! We'll keep an eye on her." Takato said. "Over and out!"

After Takato put away his Digi-Vice, the rest of the Tamers gathered around Takato.

"Okay, Alice, if you're gonna be here, then you got to try your best to stay out of trouble." Henry said as she nodded.

"No prob, guys, I'll keep an eye on the little lady!" Kazu said, pointing to himself in a proud manner. "No Digimon ain't gonna lay a hand or paw, or whatever with me around."

"In other words: she's doomed from the start." Rika said.

"CAN IT, DIGI-QUEEN!"

Minutes after the Tamers got off their little hill, they walked down the dirt hill, following their Digi-Vices to the port they were told to look for. Henry took the lead, following his Digivice, with Rika, Takato, and Susie near his side. Ryo walked a little close near Rika, while Kenta walked next to Ryo. Kazu and Alice walked behind the group, while he was talking to her on how cool he was against the battle of the D-Reaper.

"We're getting close. A couple of Digimon bio-emerged through the nearby port, and its still open, so we better hurry." Henry said.

"Oh that reminds me." Takato said as he pulled out his Digivice, and activated the radio.

"Is everything alright, Takato? What's the status?"

"We're heading for the port on schedule, but I'm wondering, what about the other Digimon that disappeared to another world?"

"We have no way on how to deal with that, for now, so you'll have to worry about that later. We'll find out what happen to them."

"Okay but.......uh...Rika what's wrong?"

Rika stood still as her eyes were stood lifeless, and her body shook like she was cold. She felt a cold shiver down her spine, and her lips shook.

"It........can't.........be............" she said, still scared to her mind.

"Who, Rika?" Takato asked with a worried look.

"Rika?" Henry said, before he noticed the Digimon going in their feral mode. "Terriermon, what's wrong?"

"I sense a Digimon. This one....feels a hell of a lot familiar."

"I feel it too." Renamon said. "This one has that sickening familiar cold feeling!"

When Takato heard the word 'cold' he gasped as he said: "You don't mean.......I thought he was dead?"

"What the heck are you guys talking about?" Kazu asked.

"AVALANCHE CLAW!!!!"

Just then, a rain of sharp icicles rained over the Tamers. The Tamers saw this in the nick of time, and jumped out of the way, even Takato pushed Rika out of the way, due to the fact she was still scared stiff. Rika finally recover as she was on the floor, with Takato on her. As she looked up, her eyes was on his, and was locked within with each other.

"TAKATO! RIKA! GET UP! WE GOT COMPANY!" Henry shouted, breaking their state.

"Oh.....uh sorry.....you're gonna hit me, right?" Takato asked, blushes heavenly.

"Not now!" Rika said as she shoved him off. As she got up, she bugged again when she got a look at the attacker that now stands before them.

In the mild cold mist, stands a light blue demon, that resembles a Devimon, but coated in ice. It was the same sickening demon that still haunts Rika in her nightmares.

"Whoa, an IceDevimon!" Kazu shouted.

"Oh just great!" Kenta said.

Since Ryo doesn't have his Digimon yet, he took Takato's and scanned the Digimon.

"Hmm...IceDevimon: A fallen angel, champion level Digimon. This guy's heart is pure cold hearted. His attacks are worse then Frigimon's Sub Zero Ice Punch."

The creature made Jeri scared beyond fear, as she hid behind Takato. It reminded her of Guilmon's evil Mega form he once turned into.

"Don't worry, Jeri." Takato said. He then shouted at IceDevimon: "How did you came back to life? I thought Guilmon absorbed you data?"

"Yes, but most of my data escaped and flown to the Digital World were a powerful force reformatted me back." he said, smiling evilly, before pointing at Rika. "Now I have come to reclaim my Tamer."

"Huh? I didn't know you had two Digimon?" Kazu asked. "Girl, you're like that Wills kid!"

"How many times do I have to tell you? I'M NOT YOUR TAMER!"

"Come now, Rika, will you step up to the fact that you need a Digimon who's as cold hearted as you?" IceDevimon asked.

"I'm not like that anymore! I've changed, but what didn't is my hatred for you!"

"Yeah! So why don't you just stay dead and leave her alone?" Takato shouted.

"Ah the foolish Tamer who defeated me. I was hoping to look for revenge on you."

"Look here! I'm a lot stronger then last time, so it'll be foolish for you to face me and even Rika!"

IceDevimon laughed wickedly before he spoke.

"My dear boy. You will soon find out that I'm not the same weak Digimon you once fought. I've been given an upgrade back in that world filled with monsters who pretend to be Digimon. This time, Rika will be my Tamer."

As Takato growled, Guilmon walked near his side, ready for battle.

"Are you ready boy? Lets finish him off one more time!"

"Okie dokey!"

"Renamon, I want you to walk over him like you never walked over anyone in your life!"

"My pleasure!"

"You ready, Terriermon?"

"I've been ready for this for a LONG time! His ass is grass!"

The Tamers stood in battle, while the others stood away from the field, knowing that this one is personal. They knew they had no time before the portal closes, and IceDevimon mentioned that he's been given an upgrade, so they have to make this quick. They could bio-merge, but they don't want to waste too much on a champion, so as they pulled out blue cards, the triangle on Calumon's head started to glow red.

"MATRIX DIGIVOLUTION!!!"

End of part 4.............

Tai: Whoa, a really nasty Digimon face off against the Medafighters, and now the nastiest out of all the nastiest comes to settle an old score with the Tamers. Will they pull this one off? Find out next time on Digital Fever................uh AnT.........how come you put Takato and Rika in the same predicament I went through, hmmm?

Rika: Yeah, evaluate us!

Me: Well I thought it would be interesting to put the same predicament, which was considered a grand yet horrible moment, for you guys, only switch around the genders.

Rika: YOU MADE ME GO THROUGH THAT HORRIBLE MOMENT WITH MY GOGGLE-HEAD! (Charges straight at me.) ..I OUTHA!!!

Terra: (Points a gun at her.) You'll what?

Rika: I'm getting real tired of you ruining my mood to strangle your creator! I outha walk all over you!

Terra: What, you or that fox girl?

Me: Chill, ladies! You'll get your chance. I might put in that fight in my Can't Hardly Wait fic, which that chapter will be labeled a battle bonus.

Mallory: You keep saying that. I thought Rika and Terra already fought.

Me: Yeah, in a Digimon Card game. Rika won.

Mallory: That's why you didn't want to talk about it in chapter two.

Terra: That's the last time I challenge her to something she's good at. This time I'll beat her in something I'm good at: A fight!

Rika: Works for me, only I'll be walking all over you!

Me: While they settle that cat fight, lets get down to the reviews.
