( The Digital world)

Devimon sat upon his throne, he had taken an abandoned monastery in the Digi- desert as his base, he sat in one of the inner rooms in the monastery as his throne room to avoid the heat of the desert, when Aruamon had restricted them, he had made each one weaker then they had been in the past but this didn't bother devimon, he didn't need brute strength to defeat the New Digidestened, he had something better.

He herd a loud clanging coming from the hall leading to his room, Archmondona, gennai's female counterpart was lead in chains into Devimon's throne room.

Devimon got up from his throne and smiled at his captive.

" why Archmondona, it's been so long since we have seen each other hasn't it?"

" yes Devimon, it has been a long time."

Archmondona had helped the dark masters kill her fellow brothers and sisters with gennai being the only survivor or at least he had been before

Archmondona's Minion psychemon.

" so what do you wish to do with me now Devimon, kill me quickly...no that's not like you, no torture that's what you brought me here for you wish to slowly kill me, am I correct?"

Devimon smiled.

" No Archmondona, I brought you here because you can still prove useful to me, I want you to help me Archmondona, help me destroy the other dark masters so I may rule the digital world myself and to get my revenge on the original Digidestened, once I have accomplished both these tasks then I promise you I shall kill you but you can prolong your life by helping me."

Archmondona bowed to Devimon.

" As you wish my master, if I may suggest something to you, I have the Perfect plane to accomplish both your goals, but to accomplish this task I will need access to the ancient text's in the library of this monastery and also you will have to hire a few assassins."

As they were talking a small purple bat-like Digimon ran out of the monetary, a few hours later he made his way to little edo, he ran down an Ally were he met Kaito Suzuki.

" so what did you learn Batimon?"

The Bat Digimon caught his breath.

"where is my money?" The Bat Digimon held out his hand.

Kaito's partner gizamon came out of the corner and headbutted Batimon!

" don't pretend like you don't owe us Batemon, now answer the question!

Batimon rubbed his head then began to speak.

" Devimon brought in this short old woman, I only hard a little but all I know is that he's hiring Mercenaries to go to the human world and find other human digidestined and...well..."

Kaito lost his patience and grabbed the bat Digimon.

"What else is he planning!"

" something about the original digidestined he's going to try and do something with them I don't know I had to leave, that's all I know, I swear!"

Kaito let Batimon go, the bat Digimon ran out of the ally.

" we should go gizamon."

Kaito and gizamon ran out of the ally and ran to the nearest tv.

( Izumi residence, Obaida, Japan.)

Micheal Izumi yawned as he turned off the tv, his Digimon partner scar Gatomon was asleep on the cushion next to him, he picked her up and was about to go to bed when he noticed the portal to the digital world opened and Kaito and gizamon fell out.

" what are you doing here, I thought You didn't want to be a Digidestened?" Micheal said.

Kaito glared at the Izumi boy for a moment then got up.

" I'm guessing you don't have a lot of friends, do you mike?"

" what do you want Kaito?"

Kaito rolled his eyes

"if you Must know in have important info from the digital world. "

Michael then began to show a look of interest.

" what did you find out?"

Devimon has taken complete control of the digi-underworld, he's got this new sidekick now, some kind of short old lady.

Michael's eyes went wide open when he heard Kaito mention the short old women, it was Archmondona, the last surviving member of gennai's race, she had wanted to rule over the Digimon and use them as slaves and when she was exiled from there order she helped in the dark masters kill the others, of course, that didn't help bring the end when the Dark Masters themselves left her for dead but Michael didn't put it past her that she would still try and work for them.

" so what were they talking about?"

Michael asked.

" the usual stuff, kill you guys, take over the digital world, you know the usual."

While he was saying this, he was helping himself to a bowl of potato chips that had been left there from hours earlier.

"Oh, hey one last thing, Devimon is hiring assassins and Mercenaries the try and find you in the human world and he's not just looking for you guys either he's looking for other potential digidestined as well."

Micheal began to think on this for a while, why would Devimon descending Mercenaries to the human world to find other digidestined I mean to find them and kill them that made sense but why others what threat were kids didn't even know they were digidestined devimon?"

"Uh hey mike, um I was wondering since I have nowhere to stay tonight, I mean..."

" Yeah, you can stay the couch folds out."

Kaito shrugged and began to pull out the bed while Michael walked to but till he herd a familiar whimper.

He noticed the sound came from his sister's room, he looked in to see his younger sister Hoshi was still awake.

" Hoshi, why are you awake, it's 9:30?"

" I can't Sleep Onii-chan."

Michael could tell his sister was lying when he saw the tired look in her face you can tell that she's been trying purposefully to stay awake.

Michael put out his pinky as did Hoshi, the brother, and sister both crossed their pinky fingers together, whenever they did this two siblings often can Fest important things to each other and when this signals activated between the two neither one could keep secret from the other.

" Hoshi, tell me the truth, are you really having trouble sleeping?"

Hoshi shook her head no.

" no, I keep having nightmares about Jericho, in my nightmares, he comes back and takes all of you away from me."

Micheal noticed tear starting to form in her eyes but Michael quickly brushed them away.

" Mikey, can Jericho really come here and take everyone away?"

The two siblings still held Their pinky fingers still held together, after what Michael had herd Kaito say he couldn't lie to his little sister so he tried his best to sound comforting in his response.

"Hoshi, there is no way that I know that Jericho could ever crossover into the human world."

Michael new didn't sound very convincing but his little sister did look like that taken stress off her mind, she smiled and removed her pinky.

" Thanks, Onii-chan." His sister then began to fall asleep, Michael coveted his sister in a blanket then left for his room, he would tell the others all he had learned in the morning.

" What did you Just say?!"

" No offense Andrea but do you have to yell?" Jacob kido said while his partner

Shakomon nodded in agreement.

" shut up Jacob, but how could they even crossover mike?" Andrea said.

" I haven't figured that part out yet I'm only telling you what Kaito told me."

" we even trust this guy all we know about him isn't he was an 11-year-old running a bar it's not really much to go on the mike," Wilhelm said Yami and some of the others nodded in agreement.

" well, you're the leader Mike what do you think we should do?" Anna asked.

" with the way things are in the digital world right now we can't afford to take any chances, I think we should investigate, using kaito's criminal connections we could find were Devimon is hiding out and eliminate him, I mean after all he's only a champion level if we all take him on at once we could defeat him easily, the only thing we have to worry about now is the possibility of his hired mercenaries trying to go after some of us will have to stay behind to make sure nothing happens.

" then who should stay?" Cody Jr asked.

" for right now, we should probably have Atsuko and Andrea stay," Micheal said

" why do I have to stay?" Andrea complained.

" because you're loud and annoying," Wilhelm said.

" I already told you to shut up Willhelm, I'm not gonna tell you again!" Andrea replied

" the reason I would send you both to this task because both of you have bird Digimon that we can survey the city and find a location wherever the mercenaries are quickly they actually managed to cross over and find potential Digidestened."

" Oh please mike, we know the real reason you want Atsuko to stay is that you want to keep your girlfriend safe."

Matthew Ishida said.

Micheal glared at his former rival then went back to his explanation.

" now this is the hard part of the plane, I think our parents should join us on this, they know devimon better than we ever could."

" I don't know Mike, can you think they're just going to kind of drag us down if they come along?" Koji ichijoji asked.

" hopefully not but it's a chance we'll have to take besides they're not going to be in any danger when we actually do this we're only going to bring them to the castle and ask him a few questions about his weaknesses and such besides when Aruamon brought them back to life made them purposefully weaker than they were originally so he can control them so he's probably even less of a threat now than he was back then."

Everyone agreed and met the next night with there parents.

" no offense to any of you but I'm still not sure you should be going through with this right now I mean it took us a while to destroy Devimon, this will be the first time you kids are actually facing him and you already think you can destroy him I just don't want you put unnecessarily in danger," Joe said outwardly nervous.

" relax pop everything's going to be okay, Devimon's weaker than he was before will turn him into a pancake while you guys sit relax at the castle," Hideki said to his father.

"I hope you guys are going to be okay."

Hoshi said as she walked over to them, Hideki blushed yes she did.

" Don't worry Hoshi, I and the others will take care of business," Hideki said trying to sound fearless.

" yeah you're right, my Big brother will be there to keep you all safe," Hoshi replied.

Hideki then looks disappointed.

" I can protect myself you know."

Hoshi shrugged and walked over to say goodbye to her brothers.

" Okay, we're taking up enough time probably about time we should get things going," Taichi said.

Everyone agreed and got out their old digivices and D-3's and crossed over to the Digital world.

Hoshi yawned and herd a knocking on the door, she assumed it was the babysitter her parents have called over, she opens the door to see not the usual babysitter but the tentacled face of Jericho.

" Hello, little one."

( portal to the digital world)

Ask the children in their parents for transporting to the digital world Michael noticed has yellow D3 began to make it loud beeping sound, Michael then looked up and noticed instead of the portal leading to the digital world and its way there was a large silver sphere.

" what the heck is that?!"

The older Digidestened recognized it immediately.

" nobody touche it, it's Machinedramon's thought bomb!"

Unfortunately, Izzy's warning came too late as Cody Jr's partner Armadillomon's shell accidentally touched it and within a millisecond the bomb exploded.
