A/n: Well, we're in the last part of this mini-arc. This final part will focus on Kanazashi and Palmon who will become partners to each other. And at the end of this chapter, Hyperdimension Neptunia will appear in a scene similar to FFX-2: Depend on You, an old fanfic of mine which I hope I will finish one day. So here is Chapter 9. And after this chapter, it's the three anime filler chapters.
Chapter 9: IS Girls and Digimon Partners: Part 7 of 7: Kanzashi and Palmon, Enter the CPUS!
After deleting both Apemon and Meramon and saving Monodramon, out heroes returned to the real world with a new Digimon friend in tow, making their team nearly complete. Upon arriving back in the agency, there was Matayoshi talking with Kyoko and waiting for them to return.
"Hey Kyoko, we're back." Ling greeted "We've managed to stop the jerks from harming more people and everyone is safe." Her friends all nodded in agreement until they noticed Matayoshi in the room. *Huh? Detective? When did you get here?"
"I've just arrived here ten minutes ago." Matayoshi answered her as he tipped his hat. "I've figured since you kids helped us with the last two arrests, I could come over in case that happened again." He looks around for their suspects. "So where are the ones responsible for the crime? You were able to stop them, right?"
"We did, but they've managed to escape before we could capture them." Houki answered him with a frown. "After we've deleted their partners, they've logged out from Kowloon before we could do anything to them. We've also found out they were from Phantom Task." Kyoko, Matayoshi and Kanzashi all gasped in shock while Twoearle was confused. Tatenashi was silent as she clenched her fists, still wanting to settle the score with a certain member of the Phantom Task organization.
"Phantom Task? They were behind those attacks?" Kanzashi asked as her sister and friends all nodded.
"Yeah, it was them, all right." Ichika answered her with a frown. "They were attacking innocent people to find three people. One of them was Tatenashi and two others who they say are runaways. We don't know who they are, but I can say it's something serious if they came all the way out here to look for them."
"I see, that could be troubling if Phantom Task are out in our neck of the woods..." Kyoko frowned as she scratched her chin. "And if they're searching for Tatenashi and these runaways, this could be serious if we cross paths with them again."
"Indeed, so we need to be on high alert." Matayoshi agrees "I'll head back to the station and send a word out to keep an eye open for Phantom Task. If those no good terrorists think they can attack innocent people and get away with it, they've got another thing coming to them."
"Thank you, we really appreciate your assistance, Matayoshi." Kyoko said in gratitude. "If there's anything we can do to help, let us know." Matayoshi nodded and tipped his hat as he leaves the office and heads back to the station as she turns to our heroes. "And while he sends the word out, we can rest for now. Our work is done and it's about closing time, so we can call it in for the night." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, it's about time we head for home ourselves." Houki agrees "And since it's Sunday tomorrow, we can hang out together and get to know our Digimon friends better. That way, we'll be much closer to them and maybe find a way for them to come into the real world." Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement.
"You all go on ahead without me." Kyoko said with a smile. "I still need to finish up on some paperwork and some other things. You all get some rest and have fun tomorrow." Everyone nodded and left the agency, but not before Satoru looks back at her before continuing on with his friends.
Not long after leaving Nakano, our heroes were riding the bus back home while Kyoko takes care of some other businesses. As they were riding the bus, Char, Kanzashi, Ling, Twoearle and Cecilia were asleep while Ichika, Satoru, Houki, Laura and Tatenashi were still awake and talking with each other. Char was leaning on Ichika's shoulder, Twoearle was leaning on Satoru's shoulder and Kanzashi was leaning on Tatenashi's shoulder.
"Man, who would've guessed that Phantom Task would show themselves here..." Tatenashi frowned seriously as she looked at the moon. "To think they'd come all the way out here to find me and two others who are on the run from them. I wonder who are these two runaways they've mentioned before they escaped?"
"If I had to guess, they're probably people who used to work for Phantom Task, but decided to rebel against them." Satoru answered her as he scratched his chin. "If that's the case, we'd better find them before those Phantom Task lowlifes do." His friends all nodded in agreement. "But there's one other thing I don't understand, why would Phantom Task reveal themselves now? Haven't you guys stopped them last time?"
"We did, and thought we've seen the last of them." Laura answered him as she too pondered this. "I guess they must've quiet down for some time before showing up not too long ago. And if they've showed up now, then that could only mean they're up to something and we need to be ready for it." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"But before we do, there's something else I've been wondering about." Satoru wondered as he looked at Tatenashi. "When we met those two Phantom Task jerks, why did they call Tatenashi "Katana?" Isn't her name Tatenashi?" Everyone all looked at their friend in question as she sighs.
"Not exactly, it's something that's been part of our family for generations." Tatenashi answered him sadly. "Tatenashi is a name the eldest sibling of the family is to have as it's part of the tradition. My real name is Katana and I'm the current head of my family. You remember when I told Monodramon about how my family's been fighting against Phantom Task for years?" Her friends all nodded. "I really meant it, our family's been fighting Phantom Task for generations and I don't know how long it'll last. But now that they're back, I can only guess they're out for revenge and won't stop until they destroy us."
"Wow, I had no idea your family's been fighting against Phantom Task for years…" Houki murmured in amazement and sadness. "And here I thought you were making that up, but you sure sound serious. Sorry if I said anything offensive to you."
"It's all right, I know you didn't mean it, Houki." Tatenashi said with a small smile. "But yeah, that's the whole truth about me. Our family's been fighting them for years, but we had to keep it a secret to the public to make sure no one's hurt. But now that they've shown themselves again, this could be one of our hardest battles yet."
"Maybe, but that hasn't stopped us before." Ichika said with a nod before frowning. "We may have stopped them before, but I'm sure we can do it again. We're a lot more stronger than before, so we can help you deal with Phantom Task. You won't have to fight them alone because you have us now. We'll be there for you and we'll be able to stop them for good." His friends all nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, everyone. That means a lot to me." Tatenashi smiled as she closed her eyes as a tear fell out of her left eye. "For a long time, it's been only my family fighting against Phantom Task and making sure everyone's safe. But after meeting all of you, I know we can win against them and stop their plans to steal the IS and commit crimes for good." Everyone nodded in agreement as the bus stops at bus stop and Satoru knew the location.
"Well, this is our stop. Time for us to go." Satoru said with a smile. "There's a lot more things I want to know about you guys, so we can save it for tomorrow." Everyone nodded as he turns to wake up Twoearle. "Twoearle, wake up. We're back home." He gently shook her by her shoulder until she opens her eyes and he turns to his friends. "Okay, we'll be going now. See you guys tomorrow." Everyone nodded and waved as he and Twoearle exited the bus and they continued on.
Meanwhile
In another part of Kowloon, a massive Digimon resembling a minotaur was stomping around. He stops in his tracks and looks around for something or someone, but couldn't find it anywhere.
"Dang, I can't believe that little weed gave me the slip!" The Minotaur Digimon growled in fury. "How can something so small be so fast?" He shakes his head and turns around. "Whatever, no puny, little runt can stop me anyway. It'll take much more than some little weed to stop me." He then starts walking away to parts unknown.
As the minotaur Digimon left the area, a small plant Digimon peeks out from her hiding spot and sighs in relief. "Whew, that was a close one. It's a good that he's all brawn and no brains, but is still dangerous if left unchecked." She sits down on the floor. "Still, I can't let him cause so much destruction for his entertainment. The humans here need this place to interact with each other and he needs to be stopped." She stands back up and follows the same path the minotaur Digimon took and tries to stop him.
Not long after riding the bus, our heroes were dropped off at their respected stops and headed home for a good night sleep. Ichika was next to be dropped off at a bus stop just a couple of blocks from his house while the IS girls continued on and were later dropped off at the monorail station. After hoping off the bus and riding the monorail to the IS Academy, the IS girls all went their separate ways to their rooms and headed for bed for their weekend tomorrow.
As Kanzashi and Cecilia entered their room, the two girls headed for the closet to put on their nightgowns and headed for bed. Cecilia turns off the lights as she and Kanzashi said goodnight to each other and went to sleep. After a few minutes of sleeping, Kanzashi started tossing and turning in her bed while sweating and griping her sheets.
In Kanzashi's dreams
"Huh? Where am I?" Kanzashi asked in confusion as she got up. "I thought I was still in my room. How did I get here?" She looks around her surroundings, only to find herself in a dark area with fog everywhere. "What's with this fog? I can't even see my hand in front of me." As she looks around, she heard a loud stomping as a shadowy figure emerges from the darkness. *Wait? What is that?" Before she got her answer, the massive shadow attacks and a smaller shadow comes flying towards her.
"AHHHH!" The shadow screamed before crashing in front of Kanzashi.
"Hey, are you all right?" Kanzashi asked in concern. "What happened to you?" The figure looks up at her and reaches out it arms to her.
"Please…help me…" Was all the figure could say as the massive towers over them before raising its fist over them and slams it down on them.
Dream ends
Kanzashi wakes up with a gasp and wipes off some sweat from her forehead. "What was that? Was that a dream? But it felt so real..." She turns to her left to see Cecilia still sleeping in her bed and breathes a sigh of relief. "Good thing I didn't wake up Cecilia, she would get cranky if she doesn't get her sleep. Oh well, I'll tell everyone about this in the morning." She lays her head back on her pillow and goes back to sleep.
The next morning
It was Sunday as the weekend started and our heroes got ready to spend the day with each other. Instead of their uniforms, they wore casual clothes and met up on the bus as they rode back to Nakano to hang out with each other.
"Whew, I slept like a log last night." Twoearle stretched her arms. "Sure is nice to wake up refreshed in the morning and ready to take on the world. The bed sure was comfortable to sleep in."
"Maybe that's because you slept in my bed, Twoearle." Satoru sweat dropped. "You snuck into my room and crawled onto my bed. I can still feel you holding me tight and breathing down my neck." Everyone couldn't help but blush from him saying that.
"Come on, it's not like you didn't like it, Satoru-kun." Twoearle smiled a bit pervertedly. "Besides, you looked so cute when you're sleeping in my chest through the night. Tell you what, from now on, only you are the only one who can use my chest in whatever you like." This time, it was his turn to blush while everyone else were watching them.
"Wow, I didn't think that Twoearle would let him do that to her." Tatenashi muttered in awe. "I guess she likes him so much that she doesn't mind let him do that with her." Her sister and friends all nodded in agreement as she turns to Ichika. "Hey, Ichika, since you knew them longer than us, how close do you think they are?"
"I'd say they're really close since they've been together for a month." Ichika answered her. "From what I can tell, they've met a month ago and that's around the same time where he and Dorumon became partners. They never went into full detail, but I don't want to pressure them into telling me. I'll wait for them until they're ready to talk about it."
"That's probably the best idea." Houki agrees "When we asked Twoearle about where she came from and everything, she said that she needed more time to tell us. Seeing as how she didn't want to talk about it, we've decided not to pressure her and let her tells us when she's ready." Her friends all nodded in agreement as they continued riding the bus to Nakano.
After an hour of riding on the bus, our heroes arrived at Nakano and hopped off the bus. They entered the entrance to Nakano and made their way to the agency on the first floor to meet with Kyoko and see if there any cases for the day. As they make their way down the hall, they see a familiar face they haven't seen in a week as she turns to them and smiles.
"Mirei?!" Everyone gasped in surprise.
"Why hello again, Cyber Sleuths." Mirei greeted "A nice day to spend the weekend with each other. I trust that everything's well for you and your Digimon friends?"
"Wait, where did you come from, Mirei?" Ling asked while raising an eyebrow. "And where have you been all this time? We haven't even seen you since our first day here in Nakano."
"I was in the DigiLab working on a new project." Mirei answered her. "It took me a week to get this working properly, but I've managed to get it done and I needed to see all of you again." She holds her hand out to them. "Now, may I please see your Digivices?" Ichika and his friends looked at each other for a moment before nodding and handing their Digivices to here. "Thank you, I'll be right back in a moment." She enters her shop and starts working on the Digivices.
"I wonder what could she want with our Digivices?" Cecilia asked in wonder. "She said that she was working on something important and waited for us here. I wonder why she needs our Digivices?"
"It must be something important if she was eating for us." Houki answered her. "And if she was waiting for us here and asked for our Digivices, We'll just have to wait and see until she comes back with our Digivoces." Everyone nodded in agreement as they waited for Mirei.
A few minutes later, Mirei walks out from her shop with the Digivices in hand. She hands back each of the Digivices back to our heroes as she said. "Here you are, everything's all set and ready for use. I'm certain you'll love the new feature I've installed into your Digivices."
"Feature? What kind of feature did you installed to our Digivices?" Char asked in confusion.
"It's a little something that many Digidestineds before you all have done, bringing their Digimon partners into the real world." Mirei answered her "Since almost all of you have Digimon partners, I thought you might want to interact with them physically instead of just in cyberspace." Everyone started to get excited about meeting their Digimon friends in person.
"Wow, this is incredible! I just can't believe it!" Ichika beamed. "We're really gonna meet our Digimon friends in person!" He turns to his Digivice and contracts Agumon. "Hey Agumon, did you and the others heard that?"
"Yep, we all heard it, Boss." Agumon answered "And we just can't wait to hang out with all of you guys." The other Digimon all nodded in agreement as both Kanzashi and Twoerle were the only ones without Digimon.
"Wait, what about us? We don't even have Digimon yet." Twoearle interjected. "Me and Kanzashi don't even have Digimon, so how's that even fair?" Kanzashi nodded in agreement as everyone realized she was right.
"Not to worry, I was able to foresee that problem and made some adjustments." Mirei answered her with a smile. "Now you all remember when all of you registered your Digimon with your Digivices?" Everyone nodded. "Well, that's where this feature comes in. From the moment you've used your Digivice to register a Digimon as your partner, the feature I've added to your Digivices will automatically install itself and ready to be used. That way, it'll be ready and your partner will appear in the real world."
"But how are we supposed to bring our Digimon into the real world?" Laura asked "Is there like some kind of password or command we need to do?"
"Not exactly, it's really quite simple." Mirei answered her with a smile. "All you need to do is hold out your Digivices in front of you and say "Realize". And once you do that, your Digimon friends will manifest into the real world."
"Wow, thank you again, Mirei. We really appreciate your help." Ichika said in gratitude. "We'll be sure to put your gift to good use, thanks for everything." Mirei smiled and nodded as he and his friends continued to the agency and entered the office.
Not long after meeting with Mirei again and receiving a new feature from her, our heroes entered the office to find Kyoko and see if there were any cases for them. Upon entering the office, Ichika and his friends noticed that Kyoko wasn't at her desk and there were no cases on the whiteboard on the wall.
"Huh? Where did Kyoko go?" Tatenashi asked in confusion. "I thought she'd be here waiting for us with another case. I wonder where she went?"
"Do you think she could be stuck in traffic?" Cecilia asked. "It's Sunday and the traffic getting here to Nakano was bad, but is was still early in the morning. Maybe she got stuck in the early afternoon traffic on the way?"
"Maybe, but I'm not too sure about that." Satoru answered her as he deduced a theory. "If she was caught in traffic, she would've called to let us know she was going to be late. There must be some other reason why she's not here yet." As everyone thought for a moment, Ling saw something on the desk.
"Hey guys, there's something on Kyoko's desk!" Ling shouted as she pointed to the envelop. "There's a letter and envelop there!" Everyone turned towards the desk and saw she was right.
"Hey, you're right, Ling. There is a letter and envelope on her desk." Houki agrees as she looked at the envelop. "She must've stepped out and left the letter for us to find. But who sent the envelope? Could it be Matayoshi?"
"Only one way to find out, let's read the letter and see what she has to say." Ichika answered as he takes the letter from the desk and opens it as he begins to read it.
"Everyone, if you're reading this letter, then I'm not in my office. I had to step out to deal with some important business with Matayoshi. He wanted me to help him on a case so I had to step out of the office and won't be back until later. Also, there's no cases for the day so you all can do whatever you want. As for the envelope you see on my desk, that's the payment Matayoshi sent to us for helping him in arresting Izami and said to use it however you wish. It'll probably take me some time until this case is finished, so make sure to keep the office clean when I return. Signed, Kyoko." Everyone turned to Ling as she opens the envelope and pulls out 50,000 Yen.
"Holy crap, she wasn't kidding about the payment." Ling gasped in awe. "There's 50,000 Yen in the envelope for us." She turns to her friends. "So what do you guys think we should do with the money Matayoshi sent us?" Everyone all started thinking for a moment.
"Not sure, I can't really think of anything to do with the money right now." Ichika answered her as he started to think. "Maybe we could save it for later until we could use it for something in the future. I'm sure it'll come to us sooner or later." Everyone nodded in agreement until their Digivices started ringing and they've answered. "Agumon, what's wrong? Is there another Digimon in trouble?"
"Oh yeah, and it's a big one, Boss." Agumon answered him. "We've sensed a Digimon in Kowloon's being attacked by another Digimon. And much like Snimon, Kuwagumon and Unimon, this one's on its own and doesn't have a partner."
"Figures it'd be another one of those kinds of Digimon." Laura frowned as she crossed her arms. "Those Digimon are nothing but trouble for us and everyone using EDEN." Her friends all nodded in agreement.
"And that's not all, this Digimon's much more powerful than the ones we've fought before." Renamon stated/ "From what we can tell, this one's seems to be at a much higher level than the other Digimon. We could be in for a much more difficult fight than our previous ones."
"If that's the case, then so be it." Houki said with confidence. "That hasn't stopped us before from fighting the other Digimon and their partners. We'll save that Digimon before anything bad happens to it."
"Then we'd better head for Kowloon." Ichuka told everyone. "As long as that powerful Digimon's going on a rampage, there's no telling what kind of damage it can do. If we let it roam free, then everyone's going to suffer from its path of destruction." Everyone nodded in agreement as Kanzashi steps forward.
"Everyone, let me come with you to Kowloon." Kanzashi said with determination. "The two Digimon Agumon and the others mentioned, I saw them in my dreams last night. I need to make sure the Digimon I saw last night is safe."
"That's exactly how I knew Renamon was in trouble when Unimon was attacking her." Cecilia said as she believed her friend. "And if she saw them in her dreams, that could only mean the Digimon we're about to save is going to be her destined partner." Everyone all nodded in agreement.
"Okay, Kanzashi, you can come with us." Ichika agreed. "But make sure you stay close to us, we don't anything bad happening to you. We'll save the Digimon, I can promise you that." Kanzashi blushed and nodded as he turns to Twoearle. "Twoearle, think you can handle being our eyes here alone?"
"Not to worry, I've got everything under control here." Twoearle answered him with a thumbs up. "You guys just focus on saving that Digimon and making sure the other one's stopped in his tracks before he does too much damage." Everyone all nodded as they stood in front of the TV and Ichika used his Connect Jump to enter cyberspace.
As everyone save for Twoearle arrived in Kowloon, Ichika decided to ask Renamon about the Digimon ranks.
"Hey Renamon?" Ichika asked her, she paid heed to Ichika. "I want to ask you something. Whenever you and our partners digivolve into a much stronger form, what are the ranks?"
"Yes. This has been bugging me for some time now. Since our Digimon can digivolve into Champion forms, what are the ranks for each digivolved form? That way, we'll know what we're up against." Houki agreed.
"Alright. It would be wise to tell you about the ranks whenever a Digimon digivolves." Renamon agreed as she cleared her throat. "Each Digimon starts out as Baby, the weakest after hatching from a Digiegg. After gaining enough experience, the Baby Digimon will digivolve into In-Training, a little bit weaker form. Then after gaining enough experience again, it will digivolve into the Rookie rank, the forms you see us in save for Gatomon who is a Champion. If the Digimon and their partner's bond is strong enough, the Rookie will digivolve into the Champion stage, a stronger form of the Rookie Digimon. Then if both Digimon and Tamer's bonds are even stronger, the Champion will digivolve into Ultimate, a much stronger form of the Champion. Then there's warp digivolution."
"Warp Digivolution?" Char asked Renamon in confusion.
"This only applies to Rookies. Now warp digivolution occurs if the bond between the Digimon and their partner is strong enough to reach that peak to warp digivolve into Mega, a much stronger rank than Ultimate. But the strongest rank of them all is Ultra which the Digimon must somehow reach with the help of their partners." Renamon finished explaining.
"So in time, our Digimon partners will digivolve into more powerful forms if our bond with them is strong enough? Kickass!" Ling grinned as she pumped her fists in the air. Gatomon couldn't help but smile at Ling's enthusiasm.
"Yeah, but we have to wait until the time is wait for us to Digivolve into stronger forms. But right now, that Digimon in Kanzashi's dream needs our help!" Elecmon urged. Everyone nodded in agreement as they pressed forward as Agumon, Elecmon, Renamon, Biyomon, Candlemon and Monodramon digivolved into their Champion forms to help out the Digimon in distress.
(Meanwhile…)
"Take this!" The minotaur Digimon known as Minotarurmon laughed evilly as he punched the plant Digimon into a cyber wall. The plant Digimon screamed in pain as she fell to the floor and was struggling to get up. Minotarumon walked menacely towards the plant Digimon. "You gave me the slip, but now it's time to say good bye! In your Rookie form, you can't match wits with an Ultimate like me! Now prepare to-"
"Mega Flame!" GeoGreymon's voice yelled as the attack hit Minotarumon for medium damage, knocking him back a little.
"Argh! Who did that?!" Minotarumon growled in fury as he looked to the left to see Ichika and the gang with their Digimon partners. Kanzashi couldn't help but stare at the injured plant Digimon.
'No doubt about it… That's the Digimon I saw in my dreams!' Kanzashi thought to herself as she got ready to spring into action.
"So you're the one harassing that plant Digimon!" Ichika yelled as he got ready. "We can't allow you to bully her or anyone else in Kowloon because of your evil deeds!"
"Bah! You goodie two shoes make me sick! The name's Minotarumon and I'll make sure all of you are reduced to data clusters!" Minotarumon growled as he readies her cannon like arm and shouted out "Earthquake Drill!" He slams the drill like arm onto the ground and it generated a mini-earthquake which made the gang stumbled for a bit. Minotarumon saw his chance and punched GeoGreymon with such force that it knocked him back a bit.
"Horn Impulse!" GeoGreymon yelled as he rammed into Minotarumon, giving him medium damage. Minotarumon punched him away.
"Hang on, GeoGreymon!" Leomon yelled as he charged towards Minotarumon and slashed him three times with his sword, giving the evil Digimon medium damage. But Minotarumon grabbed him and threw him away.
"Kanzashi…" Tatenashi whispered to her sister, Kanzashi paid attention. "You go and save that plant Digimon and get her as your partner. We're gonna need the help we can get to beat Minotarumon."
"R-Right." Kanzashi nodded as she rushed towards the plant Digimon with a Heal disk in hand.
"Strike Claw!"
"Lightning Paw!" Both Strikedramon and Gatomon charged towards Minotarumon and gave him a combo attack which gave him big damage. Minotarumon growled in fury as he used Earthquake Drill again to knock them to the ground.
"Dragon Wheel!" Kyubiimon launched her attack at Minotarumon which gave him little damage. Minotarumon growled in anger as he punched Kyubiimon into a wall.
"Meteor Wing!" Birdramon launched her attack at Minotarumon who retaliated by firing bullet shots at her with his machine arm. Birdramon evaded them with ease.
"Electro Squall!" Wizardmon launched his attack at Minotarumon which shocked him, but he stood strong and charged towards GeoGreymon and punched him rapidly.
"Dash Metal!" Dorumon launched his attack at Minotarumon, it did little damage as Minotarumon charged towards Leomon and tried to bull rush him, but Leomon leaped out of the way.
With Kanzashi and the plant Digimon, Kanzashi was tending to the plant Digimon's wounds. "You alright?" Kanzashi asked her.
"Yeah." The plant Digimon smiled softly. "I'm so sorry you have to get involved in my fight with Minotarumon. My name is Palmon, and you are?"
"Kanzashi Sarashiki. Listen, Palmon… We can work together to stop Minotarumon." Kanzashi reasoned with her.
"But he's an Ultimate!" Palmon gulped. Suddenly, Kanzashi placed her hand on Palmon's flower head.
"Listen, Palmon. I was like you, feeling like I am useless and I resented my sister because of my weakness. We never interacted with each other until Ichika got us back together." Kanzashi blushed with a soft smile. "And to tell you the truth, we both fell in love with him even though his heart may belong to Char. So we can beat him together, Palmon. And the only way we can do that is becoming partners." Palmon gasped in awe as Kanzashi said that. Suddenly, Kanzashi's Digivice which was a smartphone ranged and she checked it and it has Digimon Capture installed.
"You're right, Miss Kanzashi! We can beat him if we work together! So I'll be your partner!" Palmon said with confidence. Kanzashi smiled in response as she registered Palmon as her partner. Suddenly, Palmon glowed green. "Palmon, digivolve to…!" Palmon become a gigantic cactus with red boxing gloves and orange hair on her head and her face has three holes to act as eyes and a mouth. "Togemon!"
"Togemon… Thank you." Kanzashi smiled as Togemon charged towards Minotarumon who was beating up Strikedramon and gave the evil Digimon an uppercut.
"Ow!" Minotarumon gawked as he turned to see Togemon glaring at him. "Y-You digivolved?! Damn… Now I really need to delete you!"
"We'll see about that, Fast Jab!" Togemon yelled as she delivered lightning fast punches on Minotarumon, giving him large damage Both Togemon and Minotarumon traded blows with each other with Togemon giving the most to Minotarumon. "Coconut Punch!" Togemon winded up her fist and threw it at Minotarumon. She gave Minotarumon another Fast Jab, giving him big damage again. Minotarumon was getting weaker and weaker.
"Aw crap! I'm getting out of here!" Minotarumon stammered as he tried to high tail it out of here.
"Oh no you don't! Needle Spray!" Togemon yelled as she spins around and fires a barrage of needles which hit Minotarumon for large damage, ending the fight. Minotarumon screamed in agony as he was deleted.
As soon as Minotarumon was deleted, the Digimon save for Gatomon degenerated back to their Rookie forms. Ichika and the gang and their Digimon partners breathed out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, Renamon tensed.
"What's wrong, Renamon?" Cecilia asked her partner in concern.
"It feels like… a portal between worlds is opening…" Renamon said warningly, still feeling tensed. Suddenly, a blue portal appeared out of nowhere.
"Whoa, what is that?" Satoru gasped in shock. "This beats the supernatural by a long shot!" Ichika walked up to the portal and inspected closely. Suddenly, he heard screams.
"Ichika! Watch out!" Char gasped in shock. Suddenly, 8 people fell out of the portal and they all landed with a thud. The portal disappeared. There was one who looked tall, and had blonde hair but compared to the rest, she obviously had greater..."Assets". Another two who looked similar had similar white and light blue outfits on to match. They wore large round hats as well. Then there was another who wore a similar hat but had a much whiter color scheme to her clothes. Aside from them, there was 2 others who looked similar but were quite different. They both had black hair, with one being long hair in twintails, and the younger looking of the two having medium shoulder length hair. Aside from those six, there was one who had light purple hair with what looked like a variation to the common Japanese schoolgirl uniform. She also had what looked like a D-pad decoration in her hair.
And to everyone else's surprise, the last girl, a girl with light purple hair, a white hoodie, and two D-pad decorations, had landed on top of Ichika, with a ditzy look on her face.
"Who… the hell are you?" Ling murmured in confusion as she and her friends looked at the strange group that appeared from the portal.

To be continued…
Next chapter: Our Day Off! Attack of the Goblimon!
A/n: Sorry it took so long to finish this, anyway, the mini-arc is complete and we will go into the three chapter anime filler chapters before a main case. Also, my birthday is coming up on Saturday. So I will be 29 this year. I hope to see you next chapter!
Also, the ending scene is based on a old fanfic of mine called FFX-2: Depend on You.
