Back at The Forbidden Pollen, Venusmon had just entered Vademon's lab, finding Lotusmon, was in the middle of her own experiment, crushing up some violet petals in a bowl with a mortar.
As she approached Lotusmon, wrapping her arms around her lover, Venusmon asked. "So have you came up with something that will make our little slaves distrust those boys?"
Smiling, Lotusmon tilted the bowl down, causing the now crushed up petals to fall before her, which she then said. "With this powder, the trust that they feel will be used against them. It will make them think the boys are just using them, while making them more trusting and suggestible toward us."
"Very good." Venusmon replied, giving Lotusmon's cheek a kiss, who smiled at her lover and told her. "We'll use it on them while they are sleeping, that way it will have a greater effect on their minds. It will replace their dreams with horrid nightmares that will scare them and make them come to us."
"And with this, we will have no more troubles." Venusmon then said, about to claim Lotusmon's lips in a heated kiss.
"Except one trouble..." A voice interrupted, surprising Venusmon, while Lotusmon was a little annoyed, for both turned to see Kuzuhamon and Sparrow Unit come in the lab.
"Kuzuhamon? You're back? Where have you been, my sexy vixen?" Venusmon asked, breaking her embrace with Lotusmon and held Kuzuhamon close, her actions filling Lotusmon with jealousy, certain she had seen the last of Venusmon's old lover, while Kuzuhamon remained calm, doing her best not pry Venusmon off of her.
"I been travelling around, continuing my search for my sister, which lead me here." Kuzuhamon said in reply, before asking. "How is she doing?"
"Very good. Thanks to a little 'convincing', Renamon realized that she doesn't need a Tamer and is happily employed here." Lotusmon said in reply, which angered Kuzuhamon at knowing the truth of what had become of her sister.
"I am glad to hear that." Kuzuhamon lied, before asking. "Would it be alright with you if I saw her?"
"She's still working and won't be finished for a few hours." Venusmon replied, just before Lotusmon, though showing an obvious dislike for the shaman Digimon, had to ask. "I'm sure you didn't come here just to say hello to Rebecca... I mean Renamon, so what brings you back to us?"
"I wished to rejoin you. After I left, I realized leaving you was a big mistake." Kuzuhamon said, knowing how to get on Venusmon's good side as she wrapped her arms around the blonde's neck, smiled at her and asked. "Can you please take me back?"
And before Venusmon could answer, Kuzuhamon leaned forward, kissing her, which filled Kuzuhamon with disgust, but pretended to enjoy making out with the corrupt Goddess.
"I forgot how great a kisser you were." Venusmon comment, breaking from Kuzuhamon's lips and smiling. "Welcome back, my dark vixen."
But with Kuzuhamon back, Lotusmon wasn't pleased.
"Venusmon, are you certain about this?" She asked, before saying as she glared at Kuzuhamon. "While I trust you, my Goddess, how do we know we can trust her?"
"Because I have a few good and new ideas. Even with that virus, that won't stop the guys from winning their trust again, which is why I have my own method to deal with them." Kuzuhamon said.
"And what is your plan?" Lotusmon asked, still sounding untrustful.
"If Alpha and Delta failed I came up with a new idea. We make those heroic pests our guards. Sparrow Unit, bring them in." Kuzuhamon ordered.
"Yes, Mistress Kuzuhamon." Sparrow Unit replied in a distant tone, leaving the room for a moment and returning as she brought in a wheeled trolley that had eight masks that were mostly white with red eyes and black markings.
"These are special masks I designed. Each contains a copy of my yang energy, which allows me to control those who I place them on. How do you think I got in here in the first place?" Kuzuhamon pointed out, before saying. "I figure I'll place them on Tai, TK, Takato, Mikey, Agumon, Patamon, Guilmon and Shoutmon's faces and brainwash them into not only serving us, but disposing us of Davis, Veemon, Takuya, Marcus, Shoutmon, Tagiru and Gumdramon for us."
"Why cannot I just control them with my pollen?" Lotusmon questioned, feeling a little left out.
"Their minds are too strong for your pollen to take effect." Kuzuhamon said, where she then added with a smirk. "My masks will take effect at once, turning your problems into willing servants."
"Seems like a good plan to me. I'll leave that in your hands if Alpha and Delta fall us." Venusmon said with a smirk, both glad at Kuzuhamon's plans and to have her back.
And as Venusmon was about to leave, she turned to Lotusmon and said. "And don't worry, my dear lotus. I haven't forgotten about you."
"Finish this off tonight. I want them changed by tomorrow morning." Venusmon instructed
"As you wish" Lotusmon said in reply, glad to obey her blonde haired lover, but watched bitterly as both Kuzuhamon and Sparrowmon left the room.
Once the pair were are out of the room, walking along, Sparrowmon said with a smile, showing her emotion. "That was good acting, Kuzuhamon. Very convincing."
"Thank you." Kuzuhamon said, wiping her mouth clean, trying to get the taste of Venusmon out, before she told Sparrowmon. "What they didn't know that these are just ordinary masks just to trick them later on."
"And now that we've gained their trust, let's move on with the plan." The dark shaman Digimon then said, earning a nod from Sparrowmon, who said in reply. "And it's a good thing Ken and the others managed to get into contact with Yuu and Damemon. He managed to come up with something to trick Lotusmon and Venusmon."
"Then let us begin." Kuzuhamon instructed, starting their plan to bring down The Forbidden Pollen and save all those under Venusmon and Lotusmon's control.
-Within the girls' quarters, before the girl's bedtime-
"Hmm... I wonder what's taking Zia, Rachel, Yuna, Relena, Naomi and Haruka so long?" Miyako asked as she and the others slaves awaited for their sisters to come out of the shower, all curious and had their own questions as to what they had done when Takuya, Marcus, Tagiru and their Digimon showed up.
"Yeah, I want to know what it felt like when they mated." Laura said, going into details as she added. "What they did, what positions they were in, everything."
"Greetings girls" Came a voice from the entrance, causing all to turn around to see Kuzuhamon before them.
"You're Mistress Kuzuhamon!" Jennifer gasped as she saw her, bowing in respect as she added. "Our third Mistress."
And with Jennifer showing her respect, so too did the other girls as they too bowed, following one of the mental commands in their heads left by Lotusmon and made sure that Kuzuhamon could get a good view of their chests.
"It's good to see I am well known." Kuzuhamon commented, just before saying. "I have returned to check on you lot."
"Is there anything you want from us, Mistress?" Serena asked.
"Yes. You've been stuck in here for a while now. Perhaps you'd like to see Venia and what's it like. I could give you a tour." Kuzuhamon offered with a friendly smile.
And though they had been brainwashed to not leave The Forbidden Pollen, from the direction of the Digimon they saw as their third Mistress, as well as finding themselves a little curious and excited, the girls accepted the offer, with Gwen happily saying. "A tour? Wow. What a honour."
"Do you think we'll meet any handsome guys like Yuna and the others while we are out?" Keira then asked, feeling a little excited at meeting a complete stranger she felt comfortable with, one who she felt comfortable talking to, as well as taking to her bed if they had time.
"I am certain you will. So you humans girls, get dressed in anything you want. Digimon, stay as you were" Kuzuhamon said.
Serena, Keira, Miyako, Mia, Ruki, Jennifer, Alexis, Angel and Aira all nodded with eagerness and got dressed, picking out the sexiest clothing the could find, while Gwen, Beth, Rebecca, Laura and Penny stayed as they were, though Beth, Gwen and Rebecca stood naked, but none had any problems with showing of their seductive forms.
"We're all ready." Ruki then said with a smile.
"Excellent. Now, let's get this show on the road." Kuzuhamon said in reply as she allowed the girls to go pass her, towards the main entrance, only to see Rebecca looking at her curiously.
Curious herself, Kuzuhamon asked. "Yes?"
"Pardon me for asking but... have we met before?" Rebecca asked in reply, before she told the dark shaman Digimon. "It's just... you smell familiar."
"No, I am afraid this is the first time I have ever seen you." Kuzuhamon lied.
"Now get along, little vixen" She then ordered, giving Rebecca's butt a slap, making her giggle, decide to focus on their night out and headed out, following the others.
With the girls now under Kuzuhamon's watch, leaving, she faced Sparrowmon and told her. "Ok, while I distract them, you plant the dummies."
Sparrowmon nodded as she entered the girl's quarters, withdrew a scroll she had concealed within one of her thrusters, which she then unfurled, filling the room with smoke as several dummies of the girls appeared in the centre of the room, making her smile, glad Yuu and Tuwarmon had managed to contact them beforehand.
But focusing, Sparrowmon then placed the dummies in the beds, covered them with sheets to make it look as though they were all sleeping.
"Try controlling the girls now, you witches." Sparrowmon said, before leaving, just as the showers stopped and the girls all stepped out, their bodies dripping wet as they entered their bed chambers.
"That was a good shower." Haruka commented, drying herself off, paying close attention to her breasts and pussy, which made her moan a little and left her feeling aroused, only for her and the other girls to see their sisters already in bed, but not pleasuring each other.
"I guess the others must have gone to bed." Naomi commented, mistaking the dummies as their sisters.
And while Zia, Rachel and Haruka were a little upset, wanting to ask their questions and to indulge their sisters in pleasure, they all decided to go to bed themselves.
"Night girls" Relena said with a smile as she turned off the light, joined Yuna in one of the beds, where the pair cuddled as they slowly fell asleep in their embrace.
And as the girls all fell asleep, Lotusmon soon snuck in, smirking deviously.
"Now to work my magic." She said and spread her pollen on Zia, Rachel, Yuna, Relena, Naomi and Haruka, seeing their expressions changing, from content to pure discomfort.
-Within their dreams-
With each of the girls, their dreams had started off wonderfully, finding themselves completely naked, while on top of them was the man/Digimon they had made love with, staring down at them with lustful eyes, before they moved down and engaged them in a deep and lustful kiss, adding to their pleasure as their hands began to rub their breasts, making the girls desire more as they returned the kiss, looking forward to whatever the boys had planned next.
However, once the pair broke from their kiss, the girls gazed at the boys with lust, only to see them staring down at them with little to no emotion.
Curious, as well as a little worried by the way they were being started at, the girls had to ask. "What's wrong?"
"I just realized something." The boys said in reply, just before the girls were thrown into shock when black vines burst from the mattress, wrapping tightly around their wrists and legs, making the girls then cry out as thorns dug into their skin and they were brought down, positioned on their knees, forced to look at the boys ahead of them, who said with an uncaring tone. "You're nothing but a slut. I already got what I needed from you."
Hearing such words broke the girl's hearts and caused them to tear up, where they then asked. "Why? Why would you say such things?"
"Because they don't care for you." They then heard Venusmon say, just before the blonde Digimon appeared, taking the place of the boys, where she held her hand out and caused the vines around the girls' arms and legs to vanish, where they then fell into Venusmon's lap, who held them close to her chest.
"Not like I do." Venusmon then said in a gentle and caring tone, just as she moved her hand down, lifting the girl's head up and smiled at the girls, while wiping a tear from their cheek with her thumb.
"They are just like any of the male customers, he just cares about himself. He would say anything, even making up some story about a missing girl who looks like you, just to get close to you and have a shot of having sex with you. He doesn't care about you, only himself." Venusmon lied.
"He does...?" The girls asked, sounding hesitant, but from Venusmon embracing her, treating her so kindly, they started to believe their Mistress was right.
"He does." Venusmon replied, continuing to lie, while Lotusmon's powder continued to weaken their minds and influence them, leaving them vulnerable.
"We will never leave you, you can trust us." Venusmon told the girls, who felt a warmth around them, making them look to see both Venusmon and Lotusmon were embracing them, to which all they could do was nod in reply as her eyes dulled and glazed over, giving into the lies and saying in reply. "I... I trust you... Mistress..."
"Very good." Lotusmon said with a smirk as her hands gently roamed across the girls' bodies.
"Who needs a liar like him when you have me, Lotusmon and your sisters?" Venusmon then asked, grabbing the girl by her chin, moving her head and claiming her lips in a deep and caring kiss.
"I don't need anyone else... I only need you..." The girls replied with tones mixed of love and anger, love towards those who were the true manipulators and mislead anger to those who actually cared about them.
"And we have you." Venusmon then said back, before she and Lotusmon engaged the girls in a passionate, three-way kiss, filling their body with pleasure, which increased as Lotusmon moved her right hand in between the girls' legs and started to rub and massage her vagina, oblivious that the pleasure was being caused from outside her mind, a secondary effect of Lotusmon's powder, to ensure that the trust between Mistress and slave would remain in their minds.
As the girls squirmed around in their sleep, showing discomfort, before soon relaxing, where they began to moan, Lotusmon watched with a smirk.
"Seems my powder is working perfectly." She commented with a grin.
"Now to use this on Serena and the others too." The Mega Level Digimon then said, approaching the bed where she believed Rebecca and Ruki to be sleeping, only to pull the sheets down and was stunned to see the dummies.
"What is this!?" She questioned, before pulling off Beth and Serena's bed sheets to reveal another set of dummies, making her question. "They're gone! But... but how!?"
But the answer soon came to her, causing Lotusmon to throw the bowl of powder to the ground in rage, where she then yelled. "Kuzuhamon!"
-Meanwhile-
Walking through the streets of Venia, the girls and Digimon were all in awe at how beautiful it was, with Beth commenting. "Wow, look at the view."
"I have been here my whole life and yet I have never taken the time to admire the beauty of this place." Gwen added, still unaware her memories were false as she and the other girls continued to admire the scenery, allowing Kuzuhamon to act, where in, the dark shaman Digimon placed her left hand under her mask, into her ear, where Azumi had installed a small communicator, and began to speak.
"Azumi, I got the other girls out of that club and are taking them around the town. Have Alpha and Delta make their move?" She whispered.
"Yes. They coming towards Tai's group now. Keep Sora and the others occupied when it's time for them to come." Mina's replied through the device, causing Kuzuhamon to nod and head off, causing the girls to happily follow their Mistress, who knew they had a tight time schedule and was certain by now Lotusmon had found the trick she and Sparrowmon left behind.
-Outside the club entrance-
Lotusmon came out of the clab, enraged, not caring about anything else but finding and making Kuzuhamon suffer.
"I am sorry Venusmon, I knew that Kuzuhamon couldn't be trusted, but I still allowed her to get away. I promise you, my love, no matter what it takes, I will find and crush Kuzuhamon!" Lotusmon stated in fury, determined to crush the dark shaman Digimon and any who sided with her.
-With Kuzuhamon-
While Kuzuhamon, Azumi and the others were moving in on their plan, waiting in an alleyway, Tai, Davis, Takato, Takuya, Marcus, Mikey, Tagiru and their partners were starting their plan as they were joined by their friends, Ken, Wormmon, Henry, Terriermon, Ryo, Cyberdramon, Yuu and Tuwarmon.
And while the Warrior of Flame was a little saddened to see no sign of his team, he knew Koji and the others would be part of the next stage of their plans.
"Nice of you guys to join us." Davis said with a smile, just before bumping fists with Ken, while the others were all glad to see each other and knowing that soon, those they had lost would be safe.
"No worries, Davis. I am just glad we got here." Ken said, smiling back at his best friend, also smiling when Veemon and Wormmon showed similar joy to seeing each other as the gently bumped heads, due to Wormmon's tiny arms unable to bump fists.
"So are you guys ready?" Mikey then asked, earning nods from the others as they prepared their part of the plan.
"Now remember, Guilmon. Beelzemon is being controlled by a device on his neck. Aim for that." Takato said to Guilmon, making his partner nod.
"I won't forget." Guilmon replied, determined to save Beelzemon, as were the other Tamers, wanting to have their friend back.
"And though the chips controlling MetalGarurumon and Christopher's Digimon have been implanted in their head, while Matt and Christopher and being controlled by Lotusmon's pollen, remember, your Digivices can break the control over them." Mina said.
"Oh we know how to deal with mind control devices and all that." Tai said in reply as he held his Digivice in his right hand, while Agumon held onto Sora's.
Tai, Davis, Ken, TK had their Digivices grasped in their hands, with Agumon holding Sora's, while Veemon was in possession of Kari's.
Takato and the Tamers held their D-Powers, as well as a Blue Card, ready to fight, all certain they wouldn't need to use such power as their Biomerge, but if it went to such extremes, they were ready.
Lastly, Mikey not only had his Fusion Loader, but Angie's as well, keeping it in his pants pocket, while Yuu had his Fusion Loader readied, he kept Nene and Airu's in the pockets on his shirt, almost a symbol of keeping the two women he cared about most in the world to his heart.
With all prepared, they waited, but didn't have to wait long, for Guilmon's ears twitched as he heard a revving noise in the distance.
"Listen... the sound of a motorbike. They're coming." The Bearer of the Digital Hazard mark then said, just before the others heard the revving engine of a motorbike from the distance.
And it was just seconds later that Demon Unit tore through the alleyway on Behemoth, passing the various heroes and turning to face them, while Alpha, Delta and Wolf Unit approached from the entrance, trapping all inside.
"So, you lot again." Alpha said, earning a nod from Tai, who said back in a serious tone "Yeah, us again."
"I thought we told you to leave or you suffer the consequences" Delta said.
"We're not leaving, not when we know the truth." Mikey said back, determined to save Angie and the others, as was Shoutmon, who summoned his mic and prepared for battle.
Staring at the group and telling they wanted to fight, Alpha was about to oblige, but stopped when he saw the heroes had gotten some back up, noticing Ken, TK, Henry, Ryo, Yuu and their Digimon, causing him to say. "So you're with those who we were ordered to attack? Our Mistresses wants them out of the way, but if you planning to defend them then you will go down too."
"Talk big while you can." Patamon said.
"But we know the truth about everything... and about you." The Digimon of Hope then said, puzzling Alpha and the others, causing him to question. "And what are you talking about?"
"You are not yourselves. You are being brainwashed by Venusmon and Lotusmon to do their dirty work." Guilmon stated, just before facing Demon Unit and asking. "Isn't that right, Beelzemon?"
From Guilmon's words, as well as being called Beelzemon, Demon Unit felt something inside him, causing him to shake his head, ignoring the confusion he felt as he asked. "What did you say?"
"You heard him." Terriermon spoke up. "Don't you remember who you really are? Or do you like being used by others?"
"Shut it!" Demon Unit snapped, letting out some of his old personality, only for the chip on his neck to send a jolt through him, ridding Beelzemon of his thoughts and free-will once again.
Seeing the vacant look in Beelzemon's eyes, the Tamers all knew there was no more point in try to reason with him, while the Digidestined and Fusion Fighters tried their luck, hoping their words to free their friend's from the manipulation.
"Matt, I don't want to hurt you, but I will do what has to be done in order to get you back." Tai said to Alpha in a determined tone.
"That goes for you too, Christopher." Mikey told Delta, his tone matching the determination of Tai's, while Alpha and Delta just stared at the Goggleheads.
"The only ones who will defeated will be you." Alpha stated, just before Wolf Unit got before him, awaiting the command to attack.
"We held back, but this time we destroy you completely." Delta said, drawing out his Fusion Loader, calling out the mind controlled forms of Greymon and MailBirdramon.
"Digifuse." Delta then ordered, combining his Digimon into MetalGreymon, who mindlessly stared down those he once fought alongside with.
And like BlackMetalGarurumon, he too waited for commands to destroy those that opposed their Mistresses.
But before Wolf Unit or Cyber Unit One were given their orders to attack, something snapped within Demon Unit, causing him to let out a yell as he attacked.
"Double Impact!" He exclaimed, firing at Guilmon, ignoring the commands to hold back and felt he had to combat the red dino Digimon out of all of them.
Guilmon, thanks to his training, just avoided the bullets with his speed, before he leapt over Beelzemon and he saw the device on the back of his neck.
"There!" Guilmon said to himself, his maw filling with flames as he readied to attack.
"Pyro Sphere!" Guilmon then called, unleashing the fires in his maw, hitting the device, causing Demon Unit to grasp his head and yell in pain as the device controlling him was destroyed.
And with no hold over him, Beelzemon's skin turned back to its regular colours, just before he collapsed, De-Digivolving back to Impmon, who lay unconscious on the ground.
And despite being manipulated, showing actual concern, Alpha questioned. "How did they defeat Demon Unit so quickly?"
"You'll find out, because it's your turn now." Agumon said as he and Tai walked toward Alpha and Wolf Unit.
"We must do as we are commanded." Wolf Unit said as he prepared to attack the Digidestined and Digimon of Courage, only for them to act fast.
"Now!" Tai yelled as he and Agumon held out their Digivices, causing the screens to fill with light, which was then unleashed, hitting Alpha and Wolf Unit, causing both to scream in pain as the hold over them was being removed.
Black mist began to leave Alpha's body and the various chips implanted in Unit Wolf's head was unable to withstand such power.
"Hey, Ken. Let's give them a hand." Davis said, seeing Alpha was putting up some resistance, conflicted between his loyalties, to which Ken nodded as he rushed alongside Davis.
Both held up their D-3s to help Tai, causing more light and causing Alpha to scream further as the black mist left his being.
And like his partner, Veemon added his power, helping Agumon by holding up Kari's D-3 and causing Wolf Unit to roar in agony, feeling the light tearing his obedience towards Venusmon and Lotusmon, before the Digidestined won when the chips that were controlling MetalGarurumon were all destroyed, while all the dark pollen exited Matt's being, finally freeing the Digidestined and Digimon of Friendship at long last.
"That did it!" Ken said as MetalGarurumon switched from his Black form and back to normal, just before he De-Digivolved back to Gabumon and was caught by Agumon and Veemon as he fell, while Matt returned to his old self as his hair returned to his rightful blond colour and he collapsed in Tai and Davis' arms.
"What did you do!?" Delta asked, now showing shock and rage.
"The same thing we're gonna do to you guys!" Mikey called as Delta turned, only to watch as Mikey held up his Fusion Loader, which began to glow with a pure energy, causing Delta to scream in pain as he felt the combined energy and Mikey's very soul countering the control over him.
"It's time you two wake up as well!" Shoutmon called, charging at Cyber Unit One, who slammed his foot down, crushing Shoutmon, or so he thought.
"Nice try, but you'll have to do better than that." Cyber Unit One Shoutmon say, realizing that despite their differences in size, Shoutmon was using his great strength to keep Cyber Unit One from crushing him.
"And we have another surprise." Shoutmon then said with a smirk, his words confused Cyber Unit One, until a cloud of smoke appeared in front of him, where Tuwarmon and Yuu emerged from.
"It's all up to Yuu now." Tuwarmon said, causing the blond to nod as he withdrew his Fusion Loader and was thrown at Cyber Unit One, activating his Digivice and pressing it against Cyber Unit One's head, making him roar in great pain at feeling Yuu's energy rid his mind of the impurities that were controlling him.
With Cyber Unit One distracted, Shoutmon managed to push the Digimon's foot off of him, where the red dragon Digimon then rushed over to assist Mikey.
"Catch!" He heard Tuwarmon call, just as the ninja Digimon threw Nene's Fusion Loader to him, which Shoutmon caught, approached the conflicted form of Delta, grabbing his corrupt Fusion Loader and pressing Nene's against it, where both were enveloped in light, while inside Christopher's Cyberdramon, Deckerdramon and the other Digimon that served Christopher all groaned, grasping their heads as they felt the energy breaking the hold over each of them.
And giving his own energy, Shoutmon let out a loud cry as Christopher's Fusion Loader glowed with a red light, removing all traces of corruption and control from the Digimon within, while Mikey did the same for Delta, to which all the dark pollen exited from his body, his hair returned to its blonde colour.
Delta was no more.
"Great work guys." Guilmon said, glad to see their friends saved, while Azumi withdrew her Digivice to inform her partner that they had succeeded in rescuing the boys.
"Kuzuhamon, we succeeded in rescuing Matt and Christopher. Bring the girls here at once." She instructed, where she heard the dark shaman Digimon say. "I'm on my way."
Ending her conversation with Kuzuhamon, Azumi looked over to check on how Matt and the others were doing, where she saw the Digidestined of Friendship start to awaken as he groaned for a bit, held his head and looked up to see Tai, Davis and TK looking down on him.
"Matt, are you alright?" TK asked hopefully.
"TK... Tai... Davis..." Matt said quietly, just before Tai and Davis help him sit up.
"What happened?" He then questioned, wondering why he and his friends were in an alleyway, to which AquaVeemon spoke up as she informed the Digidestined of Friendship. "You were kidnapped by Venusmon and Lotusmon, who then brainwashed you to do their bidding."
"We were being controlled?" Matt questioned, before everything came back to him.
"That's it! I remember now! It was Venusmon! She attacked me and Gabumon when trying to find a gift for Mimi after Sora and I broke up." He said, angered at first, before glad he was no longer a pawn to manipulate, smiled at his friends and said. "Thank for freeing me. I owe you all, big time."
"Glad to hear that." Tai replied, before having to inform. "Because we need your help. Mimi is being controlled too and we need you to help us free her."
"Me?" Matt asked curiously, though wanting to help, he was curious as to why Tai was specific about whom would be there to save Mimi.
"While Mimi is under Venusmon and Lotusmon's control, she has been brainwashed in a different form compared to how they manipulated you. Lotusmon's pollen is clouding her thoughts, making her act as how they want her, but if you were to release the chemicals, dopamine and norepinephrine, in her mind, they would counteract the pollen and save her." Mina said, just before infoming. "Oh, and you have to make her remember who she is and then kiss her when she is trying to remember who she is."
From what Mina said, Matt was a little surprised to hear such a solution, but nodded, determined to save Mimi, just before hearing the familiar voice of gabumon, glad to know he too had been saved.
"Oh... my head..." Gabumon groaned as Agumon and Veemon helped him sit up, rubbing his head as he opened his eyes and saw his friends looking at him happily.
"Gabumon, are you ok?" Patamon asked, causing Gabumon to nod, before having to ask. "I am fine, but did something happen?"
"You were being controlled, but Agumon saved you." Veemon said, patting Agumon's back and embarrassing the Digimon of Courage a little.
"So it wasn't just a bad dream?" Gabumon asked, remembering the things he had done and hoped them to be all in his head.
"I am so sorry." He apologized, feeling guilt and shame for his actions, only for Agumon to place his hand on Gabumon's shoulder, smile at him and say. "It's alright. We are just glad to have you back."
"Don't sweat it. It's good to have the team back together." Veemon added, which made Gabumon smile at their forgiving attitudes, just before they informed him on what had become of their friends and what was needed to save Palmon.
"Impmon, can you still stand?" Henry asked as Guilmon helped Impmon up, who clutched his head and replied with anger in his tone. "I'm alright, but man my neck hurts. I cannot believe I've been controlled like some kind of puppet. I swear those witches will pay for messing with my head!"
"Just rest now, we'll take the rest from here." Guilmon advised as he helped Impmon sit down on the wall, earning a nod from Impmon, who did as advised, but said in reply. "Alright, but don't think you can get rid of me that easily. I'm just going to rest my eyes and after that, I'm getting back into the fight."
And while Impmon began to drift back to unconsciousness, sleeping, Christopher began to awaken.
"Arrgh... my head..." Christopher groaned as Mikey helped him up, where he then questioned. "Did something happen to me? I remember Lotusmon attacking me out of nowhere and that's it."
"You were brainwashed by them, but we freed you." Mikey explained, to which Shoutmon nodded and said. "It's good to have you back."
"Thank you." Christopher said, smiling at Mikey, Shoutmon and the other members of the Fusion Fighters, just before holding his Fusion Loader out and calling MetalGreymon back inside for a well deserved rest.
But come the time, Christopher would call upon his Digimon and gladly fight alongside his allies in taking down The Forbidden Pollen.
-Back at The Forbidden Pollen-
Entering her quarters, Vademon was curious as to what Venusmon wanted from him.
"Is there something wrong, Mistress?" He asked, seeing the blonde with a displeased look on her face, making Venusmon wonder what had upset her, as well as where Lotusmon had run off to.
"Looks like we lost Alpha and Delta. Someone freed them from our control." Venusmon said, stunning Vademon.
"That's impossible." Vademon stated.
"I can expect Lotusmon on her failure, but my chips were genius." He then added, knowing he'd be unable to say such things if Lotusmon were around.
"I'm afraid it is true." Venusmon replied, before smiling as she said with confidence. "But I have faith in Kuzuhamon that she get the job done."
-Meanwhile-
"Guys... thank you so much for saving us." Gabumon said as he and the others regained their strength, where the Digimon of Friendship then added. "They made into their guards, into assassins to kill our friends. We cannot let them manipulate anybody any longer."
"We have to stop them." Cyberdramon stated with determination, looking forward to fighting, no just to show his power, but to save those who considered his friends.
"First, we need to free the girls and then take the battle to The Forbidden Pollen" Yuu said.
"Guys, you better get ready!" Sparrowmon then called as she flew in, where she then informed. "Kuzuhamon is coming with our enslaved friends!"
"Ok. I've got Antidote V ready, so get ready for your shots." Azumi said as she withdrew a bottle with a pink liquid inside, inserted a needle, sucking up the contents, before getting to work, injecting it into the boy's arms.
"How long until the effects wear off?" Asked Shoutmon.
"An hour, so that's plenty of time." AquaVeemon said in reply.
And with the antidote in them, Tai, Agumon, Matt, Gabumon, Ken, TK, Patamon, Takato, Guilmon, Henry, Ryo, Mikey, Shoutmon and Yuu stood ready as the other heroes joined remained by their side in assisting to help the brainwashed girls into remembering who they were.
"They're here!" AquaVeemon called, just as Kuzuhamon appeared, revealing she had Serena, Beth, Mia, Penny, Miyako, Keira, Gwen, Ruki, Rebecca, Jennifer, Alexis, Angel, Bridget, Laura and Aira with her as they stopped right in front of the guys.
The moment of truth had come.
