Hello friends!

Me: It's been a month since we last saw our heroes hasn't it?

Rita: *Smacks gum* Yep it certainly has. Where have ya been since then?

Me: Well I've been working at my summer camp as a junior counselor. Kids are adorable and crazy like digimon.

Loweemon: Oh so you've been slacking off? When will you humans learn?

Me: WHO ASKED YOU TWO TO COME IN ANYWAY?!

Both: We walked in.

Me: *Facepalms* Never mind. Just start the story.

Ten: The Nightmare Duo? Digi Accelerate!

With Easmon…

The night had reached its peak when Easmon landed up top one of the nearby buildings. Her red eyes watched as Masanori and Keito had ExVeemon and Lekismon fight Volcdramon. She couldn't understand why fate had played those humans into becoming their partners. Her black cloak whipped in the wind.

"These human teens….their emotions have caused them to interact with digimon. What else does the future hold for them?" She wondered aloud.

She was training one of them as well. Easmon couldn't believe it herself when she gave Yanmei a chance to prove her worth. It was like a sudden feeling of….remorse?

She shook her head. Such emotions would not plague her mind and heart. After all, her plan was to find out what made humans capable of obtaining digimon partners.

"So you've finally unveiled yourself, my servant of darkness."

Easmon turned to see a dark mirror floating behind her. In the mirror, a pair of glowing red eyes gleamed back at her. She smiled darkly, knowing that her master was talking to her.

"The humans are having a tough time beating this digimon. It would seem the end is inevitable." She confirmed.

"And the new one? Has she made it to the battle yet?"

"I assume she is. You seem to pair them very well. Who would've thought a dark digimon like him would have a partner as wild as her."

"Excellent work, Easmon you are my only hardworking general. The others pale in comparison."

Easmon smirked and crossed her arms. "I only live to serve you, master. It won't be long before they realize why I have selected them."

"For now, lead them into a false sense of security with you. Let them guess you're their friend, then when the time is right, betray them!"

She nodded and the mirror disappeared. She focused her attention back to the fight to see the two champions thrown down. She chuckled a bit and continued to watch, her eyes glinting maliciously.

Back to the fight…

Masanori gasped as ExVeemon was thrown to the ground once more. He and Kazumi were having a hard time with this digimon. He clenched his fist when he heard Yoichi laugh once more.

"This is the power of the boy with the red digicell?" He taunted him. "I'll destroy you all!"

"Shut up! Hiroki-kun and I won't allow you to gather energy for your whoever master!" Kazumi yelled, helping Lekismon up.

"Man you guys don't give up so easily." Dorumon growled.

"You guys need to surrender because I'm not giving up!" ExVeemon growled back, struggling to get up. Masanori saw his partner glow for a sec, then stop.

Maybe that means we can turn into Magnamon again! He thought.

Unfortunately, Yoichi saw it too. "Not so fast dragon boy! Volcdramon stop him from digivolving!"

Volcdramon roared and charged up his attack. "VOLCANIC FOUNT!" Lava spewed through all the humps from his back and flew right at him. The impact of the attack caused ExVeemon to de-digivolve back into Veemon.

"Veemon no!" He ran towards him, only to be stopped by Yoichi. "Get out of the way!"

"Not until I get a good look at my opponent before I defeat him. Your charisma impresses me Masanori Hiroki. I think I might enjoy defeating you." He snapped his fingers and Dorumon walked towards Veemon. "Let's get rid of your partner first."

"Veemon get up! Please before they beat you!" Lekismon shouted, trying to wake the unconscious dragon. But when he didn't respond, she tried to get up.

"No Lekismon, you're too injured to go to him!" Kazumi cried, trying to help her partner calm down.

"Enough of this, use your Metal Canon attack and destroy him Dorumon!" Yoichi commanded him. His partner nodded and aimed his attack towards Veemon. Masanori couldn't move, seeing his partner about to get deleted again.

No…I saved him once, I'm not going to lose him again!

He pushed Yoichi out of the way and threw himself on Veemon as the attack fired. He braced himself for the pain…..but it never came.

Masanori opened his eyes and his jaw dropped.

Standing in front of him, in black armor, was Loweemon. And he had shielded them from the blow.

"Boy, if you're the guy with the red digicell, you surely are reckless." He told him.

"Oh sorry, but Veemon would've gotten hurt if I hadn't done it."

"Are all humans this hardheaded?"

"WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN?" Masanori grimaced as he watched Loweemon get punched in the back of the head and fall. But what surprised him more was the fact Rita was standing behind him.

"Rita what are you doing here?" He asked, feeling Veemon starting to wake up in his hands.

"Oooh that hurt….WAUGH! What's Loweemon doing on the ground?! He's one of the bad guys!" He exclaimed.

"Not anymore.." Loweemon got up and turned towards the angered Yoichi. "Sorry, but I've teamed up with a human partner now."

"So you've quit working for me huh? Why the sudden change of heart, if you have one that is." Yoichi sneered at him.

"Because stupid, he's my partner now. He's not someone you can wheel and deal around with anymore. And frankly, I think you're all bark and no bite." Rita turned towards her cousin. "Come on, how can you be so wimpy?"

Kazumi looked as if she wanted to throttle her, but kept her cool. Masanori shrugged his shoulders at her.

"Well she did save us. I guess you guys can help for now." Masanori said.

"I knew you'd say yes. Time to break out this bad boy!" Rita held up her wrist to reveal her new DigiAccelerator. "Let's kick into overdrive! DIGI-ACCLERATE!"

"Did she-…." Masanori started to say.

"Digi Acclerate?" Kazumi finished.

Yoichi's eyes widen, his hands started to tremble. This is unbelievable! I thought there was only those three with the digicells. But now this girl with a wristwatch?

Rita spun the dial on her digital accelerator and a blue flash came out. She drew a circle with her arm and pushed her hand in the middle. A delta sign appears on Loweemon and he starts to glow blue.

"LOWEEMON DIGIVOLVE TO…..RHIHIMON!"

As Rhihimon, his armor was a mixture between Loweemon and JagerLoweemon. He had dark burgundy armor and golden wings adorn his back. In one hand, he held a giant spear and in the other was a golden shield.

"Woah…never thought my cousin would get such a cool partner." Kazumi breathed. Lekismon looked at her, slightly insulted.

"What am I? Chopped liver?" She whinnied.

"No of course not! You're cool as well." Kazumi assured her before scanning her digicell at him. Rhihimon, Ultimate Level, Warrior type digimon who's attribute of darkness makes him a formidable opponent. Attacks: Red Cross and Dark Bluster.

"No matter what level you become, I'll beat you!" Yoichi proclaimed.

"You talk big for someone who can't fight. Why don't you see our combined teamwork?" Rita pointed at Volcdramon. "This guy is going down."

"Oh yeah, let's do this!" Rhihimon pounded his fist together and flew towards him. Getting up in his face, he punched him, toppling him over. Masanori shook his head and grinned.

"Hey Veemon why don't we help them out?" He asked his buddy. Veemon looked reluctantly at him before nodding.

"Fine…but let's show him the power of a true ultimate digimon!" He announced. Masanori smiled and got out his digicell.

"LET'S ROCK THIS! 9-1-2 VEEMON WARP DIGIVOLUTION!" Masanori punched the numbers in and shot the golden beam at his partner. Veemon felt the strange power coursing through him as he digivolved.

VEEMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO…MAGNAMON!

"Magnamon….interesting partner you have their Masanori." Rita smirked as Masanori blushed slightly. Kazumi felt her jealousy rising again, but chose to ignore it.

"Magnamon shall we take him on together?" Rhihimon asked him.

"Do you even need an answer? Let's do this!" He replied back.

Yoichi would've stopped them, but a portal opened behind him. There stood Hotaru and her face showed a bit concern.

"Yoichi retreat for now. You have been summoned by Erubismon at once." She informed him. Yoichi looked back at the fight he was going to miss before begrudgingly walking in.

"This isn't over boy! I swear revenge against you and your friends!" He called to Masanori.

"Geez you're an annoyance. Get back to the doghouse, puppy." Rita teased him, making his face turn a darker shade of red. He stalked into the portal and it closed behind him.

"Now that that annoyance is gone…" Rita turned towards Volcdramon. "Let's take care of this one."

Dark Fall

"I wonder why the master has summoned us." Hotaru muttered, walking aside with Yoichi. Both of their partners were wondering the same thing as they walked towards the throne room.

"Maybe he wants to give us a promotion or something?" Yoichi growled. "Whatever it was interrupted my battle." Suddenly, he stopped talking and walking, causing Hotaru to bump into him.

"Hey why did you-" She stopped, seeing Keito and Impmon leaning against the door. "What're you two doing-" Keito covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock.

"Someone is talking to the master, and it's not one of us." She hissed.

"Whatever do you mean by that? I thought we were the only ones that could." Laylamon reminded her.

"We thought that too. But it seems as if our position has been filled." Impmon jeered. "And by the sounds of it, it's female."

"Who would be talking to the master like that so directly?" Dorumon wondered.

The door opened up and the six of them fumbled away from the door. A cloaked figure stood by the door and its red eyes stared at them.

"So you three are the lead generals here, how nice to see Erubismon using school children to fight his battles." The cloaked figure cackled. "Now I know why he needed my help."

"Just who do you think you are? And how do you know about us and the master?" Keito snapped.

"I am Easmon, denizen of Dark Fall, and faithful servant of Lord Erubismon!" The cloak was finally blown off, revealing her true self. She had silver hair with a black hairband, a black and scarlet jacket buttoned by two crimson diamonds, long black gloves with red bracelets attached to it, black hot shorts, black tight-high and socks with red bows and red high heels. Her pale skin reflected off the bit of light in the room.

"You may address me as your boss from now on. There's going to be some changes around here."

Next time

Easmon: You generals are doing nothing to help whatsoever with this operation.

Keito: We've done plenty, how come we've never heard of you?

Masanori: You have a partner? Since when?

Yanmei: My teacher gave her to me, Easmon-sama!

Me: I can't believe Easmon is a bad guy!

Rita: Seriously? You write this story!

Me: Plot thickens more next time though. We see how well you and Masanori fight together, Yanmei and her partner, plus the new changes to Dark Fall.

Rita: Update sooner okay?

Me: No promises there though. Please review and see ya next time!
