I do not own Digimon.
Digimon Union
Last time, everyone found themselves at a factory and decided to split up to look for JP's Beast Spirit. While searching, the Warriors and the Destined found Andromon, but the android Digimon immediately attack them. When the Destined and Warriors found the Tamers and Xros Heart United, both Lopmon and Impmon digivolve to stop Andromon from hurting their Tamers. During the fight, JP fell into the Power Room, only to find his Beast Spirit and free Andromon from the Black Gear with Jeri's revived partner, GrapLeomon's help. Now everyone is walking through a sewer in hopes to find the other Beast Spirits and Crests before it is too late.
Chapter 11: Wind of Sincerity
I remember my hometown in distant lands
"Alright Digimons," said Taiki, "sing something that starts with the letter 'S'"
While passing through the sewer, the Digimons and Humans decided to do a singing round off with either one of them started singing and the other have to start singing with the last letter the last song ended with.
Sweet it's not, sour it is, success is not meant for me me me!
"Now it's your turn," said Shoutmon, "sine something that starts with the letter 'E'"
"'E'?"
"'E?'"
"'E'?"
"'E'?"
Every night in my dreams
"What song is that Mimi?" asked Rika.
"It is call 'My Heart Will Go On'," replied Mimi, "I heard it a few times back in America."
"Hey, I know how it goes," said Zoe.
"But I don't…" said Akari.
Even now, nothing will…
"Hey, I know that one!" said Yuu.
"Same here!" said Kenta.
Even now, nothing will…
Suddenly, everyone stops because Taichi, who is at the front suddenly stops moving.
"Hey, what gives, Taichi?"
"Quiet Takuya!" demanded Taichi. Everyone remains quiet for a while until they can hear noises coming closer to them.
"Do you guys hear that?" asked Kiriha, receiving a nod from everyone, even the Digimons.
"Those are Numemon." Yamato said.
"Numemon?" asked Kazu with Koushiro replying, "They are Digimons that like to live in dark and slimy places like sewers."
"Are they powerful?" asked Nene, but Sora shake her head saying, "No, but they are dirty creatures."
"What do you mean by 'dirty'?" asked Ai and Joe said, "They're known as the most hated in the Digital World."
"Why's that?" asked Mako.
"You'll find out soon enough." Takeru replied.
It starts to become quiet again until Taichi spoke after receiving a nod from the other Destined and all the Digimons.
"Alright guys, when I give the signal, I want all of us to do exactly what I say, no excuses. Got it?"
Everyone else nodded with the Warriors taking out their D-Tectors when Taichi tells them not to.
"Huh? Why?" wondered JP when suddenly from his D-Tector, Beetlemon said,
"Trust us; you guys don't need your D-Tectors on this."
The Warriors nodded their heads and place their D-Tectors back inside their pockets, waiting like the rest for Taichi's signal. The Numemons are getting closer and closer that the other Destined and the Digimons are starting to look worried.
"Uh, Taichi," said Gumdramon, "now?"
"Not just yet." Taichi said, looking at where the Numemons are coming from. The Numemons are nearly visible for everyone to see, and that makes everyone anxious for Taichi's signal.
"Alright guys," said Taichi, "are you all ready?"
Everyone nodded their heads, and Taichi looks at the Numemons that are running at them with full speed. 'Almost there…'
"RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!"
The Destined and the Digimons wasted no time turning around and run as fast as they can, dragging the Tamers, Warriors, and Xros Heart United along with them.
"Wait a sec," said Tagiru, being dragged by Daisuke, who is also dragging Takato with him, "if those Digimons are not as powerful as you said they are, then why are we running away from them?"
"You'll see," replied Daisuke, "JUST KEEP RUNNING!"
Nume-Sludge
The attack keeps being thrown right towards them, luckily missing them, but one of the attacks hit right at the wall, right next to Mimi, who is dragging Zoe and Jeri.
"EEEEEEEEEEEK!"
"They attack us with their poop!"
"WHAT!"
"Keep running guys," said Miyako, "unless you guys wanna have poop on your face!"
Everyone doesn't hesitate, and quickly run as fast as they can, while trying to not get hit by the poop. Zenjirou found a tunnel that leads everyone outside, where the sun is shining brightly.
The Numemons quickly headed back into the sewer when they saw the sunlight. Everyone sigh in relief and sits down, exhausted from the running back in the sewer.
"Good thing Numemons are scared of the sun." Ken said and the other Destined and the Digimons nodded their heads agreeing.
/
Everyone has been walking for a while, when suddenly Ryo realize something.
"Hey Takuya, why does Bokomon check about Antylamon and Beelzemon since you guys should have told him since you already know them back during the Quartzmon incident."
"Yeah that's true," said Takuya, "but we didn't know that Antylamon is Cherubimon's Ultimate form, and Beelzemon is known as a member of the same group Lucemon was in."
"Takuya's right for once." Koji said. "We only know about that back at the factory."
Hikari wasn't paying attention to their talking. She was busy taking a look at Koichi and discovered that he wasn't with them during the Quartzmon incident, and she felt a familiar energy coming from him that is cold, but comforting.
"Um, Hikari?"
Hikari was sent back into reality when she saw Koichi looking at her. "Are you feeling alright? You keep staring at me like you're afraid of me or something."
"Ah, it's probably nothing." Hikari replied with a small smile. "Don't worry about it."
Koichi nodded his head and starts to catch up to Koji, leaving Hikari to wonder, 'But what was that energy I felt from Koichi? Is it from Lowemon?'
They continue walking until finding a clearing with a lot of vending machines located there.
"Woah! Look at all of them!" said Kazu, as he is about to run towards one of the vending machines when Koushiro stops him.
"I wouldn't even think of getting close to those if I were you."
"Why?"
"Because Numemons tend to live inside of them, and will attack the closest person when the time is right."
The Digidestined, except the Destined, quickly step away from the closest vending machine, remembering about what happens back in the sewer.
"Yeah," said Takato, "we definitely don't want that to happen again."
"But what now?" asked Ryo, "We have to pass through this clearing to get to the mountain, so what now?"
Taiki is at his usual thinking look when light starts to flicker from his goggles, like every time he had an idea. "Then we just pass through it without disturbing any of the vending machines. That way we can reach the mountain without having to run for our life from the Numemons again."
"Sounds simple enough," said Henry, "but sometimes simple ideas are the best."
/
Everyone managed to pass through halfway of the clearing when Zoe, who was right behind everybody with Mimi and Palmon, trip at a rock and crashed at a vending machine, causing it to open and a Numemon can be seen inside of it.
Zoe quickly recovers from her fall, runs up to Mimi and Palmon, and stares at the Numemon.
The Numemon look at Zoe and gives a nervous laugh. "Do you wanna go out on a date with me, blondie?"
Mimi move closer to Zoe's ear and whisper in her ear, "I think he means you, Zoe."
"WHAT!" Zoe screams so loud that the others that are almost at the end of the clearing turn around and saw what's going on. "There's no way I'm going out on a date with something slimy, dirty, and disgusting like him!"
"Uh, Zoe," said Palmon, looking at Zoe with a worried expression on her face, "I don't think you should say that."
"Why wouldn't I?" said Zoe, looking at Palmon with an annoyed look on her face, "I mean, we are safe under the sun after all!"
"That's the thing," said Mimi, looking like she's about to run at any second while pointing upwards, "what sun?"
"Huh?" Zoe looks up and noticed that the sun is being blocked by thick clouds, making it impossible for it to be seen.
"Uh oh…"
"YOU CALL ME DIRTY! YOU MAKE ME SO ANGRY!"
Nume-Sludge
"AAAAH! NOT AGAIN!"
The 3 of them run as fast as they can to the others, but the other vending machines start to open, revealing more Numemons that starts to chase them as well!
Everyone else is shocked to see so many Numemons that when Mimi, Zoe, and Palmon run pass them only when they start to run.
/
Zoe, Mimi, and Palmon ended up staying together during the run away that causes everyone to split up inside the forest. Palmon look pass a bush to see the Numemons that was chasing them pass by.
"I think it's safe now."
"Thank goodness," sigh Zoe, "I don't think I can run anymore."
"Well, I've been in this situation 7 years ago," said Mimi, "but never in my life that I expected it to happen again."
"Wait," said Zoe, looking at Mimi in disbelief, "this happen to you guys before?"
"Yeah," said Palmon, "how else do these guys know what to do when encountering Numemons."
Suddenly, all 3 of them heard loud noises, sounding like big footsteps, heading right to them. From behind them, a Monzaemon shows up, staring at the 2 humans and 1 Digimon.
"Who's that, Mimi?"
Digimon Analysis
Mimi: He's Monzaemon, a Puppet Digimon that is completely shrouded in mystery, though it's rumored that Etemon pulls his strings. From his looks, he's an intact plush toy of a bear, and a chuck is attached on his back section. He wraps the opponent up in the love overflowing from this cute body (with scary eyes), and makes them feel happy with his Hearts Attack move.
"But don't worry Zoe," said Palmon, "there's only 1 Monzaemon that we know lives on File Island, and he's a very good Digimon, and the mayor of Toy Town."
"Well that's a relief," said Zoe, sighing, "I thought he's on the enemies' side."
Suddenly, Monzaemon's eyes start to glow red and beams are shot right out of them, aiming at Mimi, Palmon, and Zoe!
"I GUESS I WAS RIGHT!"
The 3 of them continue to run until there was no sign of Monzaemon behind them. They sigh in relief before Mimi realized where they ended up at.
"Hey, it's Toy Town!"
Sure enough, they arrive at the same Toy Town Mimi and Palmon went to last time and just as they're about to check around the place, their Digivices starts to beep. Both Mimi and Zoe take their own out and saw the Digivice signals of the others somewhere inside Toy Town.
"I guess the others arrive here earlier than we did," compliment Zoe.
"Yeah," said Mimi, agreeing. 'But something tells me they might end up like what happen 7 years ago.'
And right on cue, Taichi shows up, followed by Miyako after he left, Henry after she left, followed by Yuu with Nene appearing next, and finally Tommy shows up, each with a toy chasing after them. (AN: I don't have to type what they say, it's the same as in the anime.)
"Well that was, odd." Zoe said, looking at Tommy leaving them. Suddenly, her D-Tector starts to give off a faint pink light. Zoe immediately picks it up and sees a very worried Kazemon on the screen.
"Zoe! We got a serious situation going on here!"
"Woah Kazemon slow down, now tell me what's wrong."
"What's 'wrong' is that I didn't sense Kumamon with Tommy, AT ALL!"
"WHAT!"
Mimi immediately takes out her Digivice and found out that she didn't detect Tommy's D-Tector signal when he pass by earlier. "She's right! Tommy doesn't have his D-Tector with him!"
"That explains a lot," Palmon said before saying, "if 1 D-Tector is taken away, then do you think the remaining 4 will be hidden together?"
"Yeah," agreeing Mimi, "and maybe we can find the other Digimons there as well."
"Huh? What do you 2 mean?" wonder Zoe, with Mimi agreeing to tell her about the incident at Toy Town during her first journey as a Digidestined.
/
After walking for a while, Mimi and Zoe's Digivices managed to not only pick up the other D-Tectors, but also all 7 Xros Loaders signals inside a building. When they got inside, there is a giant chess with a lock on it, and whatever is inside is struggling to get out.
"Uh Mimi," asked Zoe, "Do you know what's in the chess?"
"Zoe? Mimi? Is that you girls?"
"That sounds like Shoutmon!"
Zoe, Mimi, and Palmon move closer to the chess and can hear the other Digimons trapped inside of it.
"Wait a sec," said Palmon, "do you guys know where the D-Tectors and Xros Loaders are?"
"Well," said Cutemon, "since I'm the last one to be in the chess and managed to wake up before being placed in here, then they should be at the shelf at the right."
Both the girls Digivices found the signal and asked Palmon to use her vines to grab hold of all 12 devices. As soon as Zoe got her hands on the 5 D-Tectors, all the D-Tectors, including Zoe's, start to give off a faint light that's the same color as the respective D-Tector.
"Kazemon! Zoe!" said Kumamon from Tommy's D-Tector with a relief look on his face.
"Man, are we glad that someone from the team didn't end up like we did." Agunimon sigh in relief.
"What happened guys?" asked Zoe when Mimi suddenly asked, "Is it Monzaemon's Heart Attack that causes you guys to suddenly fall asleep as soon as you make contact?"
"I guess you still remember what happen 7 years ago, huh?" said Gomamon with Tentomon later saying, "Yeah, it's exactly what you said Mimi."
"But why didn't you guys try and break free from the chess?" asked Zoe with Renamon saying, "We tried our best, but we didn't even make any progress."
"We can't do anything to help." Beetlemon said with Patamon following with, "It's up to you 3 to help the others!"
"Wha-Wait a second," said Kazemon, "what can we do?"
/
After discussing a plan with the captive Digimons, Mimi, Palmon, and Zoe are walking around Toy Town, in search for Monzaemon. It wasn't long until the Bear Digimon shows up and starts to attack them, again.
Zoe immediately Spirit Evolve into Kazemon and Palmon Digivolve into Togemon and starts to fight Monzaemon, but hardly making any progress because his Heart Attack keeps getting in the way.
"I guess we should have thought of a backup plan just in case." Kazemon said, trying to avoid getting hit by 1 of the blue color hearts surrounding the 3 of them. 'Man, I hate what will happen if we fail to free the others, or worse ended up like them.'
"ZOE! LOOK OUT!"
Kazemon got hit by the beam from Monzaemons eyes and turn back into Zoe, who immediately saw another Heart Attack that was just released by Monzaemon, heading right towards her! Togemon and Mimi immediately try and save her, but they don't have much time to dodge the attack. The 3 of them immediately braced themselves for the attack when they realized the attack hasn't made contact even after a while.
The 3 of them slowly lifted their heads and saw a whole bunch of Numemons blocking the Heart Attack from hitting them, but ended up getting hit instead.
"I don't believe it," said Zoe, "even after what I said to them, they still help us."
"They may be dirty and slimy on the outside," said Mimi, "but that doesn't mean they are like that on the inside."
"Mimi understand that better than the rest," said Togemon, "because she had the Crest of Sincerity."
"So that's why you are always so sincere." Zoe said, now understanding Mimi very well.
"It's kinda like the wind, Zoe." Zoe look at Mimi with a confused look and Mimi only smiles back at her saying, "Sometimes it can be good and sometimes it can be bad. Even being sincere to others is like that, but being sincere is actually telling on how you feel."
"Like the wind that is like a whisper to others." Zoe said, now fully understanding what Mimi means.
Suddenly, a breeze starts to appear, with a pink and green orb being dragged by the wind. Both the orgs landed right at the 2 girls, the green on Mimi's hands, and the pink enters Zoe's D-Tector. As soon as that happens, both Zoe and Mimi know exactly what to do. The 2 orbs starts to glow the respective colors with Zoe surrounded with data and Togemon is surrounded with a green light.
Togemon Digivolve too,
Lilymon
Execute, Beast Spirit Evolution
Zephyrmon
"Now let's do this."
Flower Canon
Hurricane Gale
Both the attack got a direct hit on Monzaemon, but the Digimon didn't even flinch when the attack make contact. All 3 of them are surprised about that and the 2 Digimons are trying to not get hit by the Heart Attack. Mimi is trying to figure out where the Black Gear is when it suddenly hit her.
'If this is like what happen 7 years ago, then that means.' Mimi look at Lilymon who nodded in agreement. The flower pixie Digimon starts to fly towards Monzaemon's back with Zephyrmon following behind.
With all of their effort, they open the zip behind Monzaemon, just wide enough for them to see the Black Gear. Both of them destroy the gear with their attacks, causing Monzaemon to crashed down in pain.
/
After Zoe and Mimi, who is holding Tanemon and wearing her Crest of Sincerity around her neck, explain on what happen to Monzaemon and the other Digidestined (that managed to snap out of their brainwashed state after Monzaemons defeat) and the Digimons, Monzaemon apologies to all of them for what he has done.
"Well," said Kenta, "now that it is settled, how are we gonna get to the mountain base before sunset now?"
"The wind is heading right towards the mountain," said Monzaemon as he starts to stand up, "so I have a way to get you all there while at the same time make you feel happy."
Heart Attack
Instead of blue hearts, there are red hearts this time capturing them inside of it. Everyone starts to feel very happy as soon as they enter the hearts. A Numemon suddenly appears, which Zoe guess is the same Numemon she met back at the vending machines, looks at her with pleading eyes.
"Hey blondie, are we gonna go out on that date?"
Zoe starts to giggle and declines the offer, causing the Numemon to be in shocked and heartbroken. A light breeze starts to drift the red hearts that the Digidestined and Digimons are in towards Infinity Mountain.

I'm really sorry about the wait, but here's the next chapter. I know that some parts are not that good, but I've tried my best.
Anyway, here's the preview on what's happening next time, but the chapter will be out VERY late, so please spare me on it.
'What was that dark presence I just felt?'
"I DON'T BELIEVE IT!"
"No…I-It can't be…"
"KOICHI!"
