Gomamon: Alright, Sorry about the LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. Wait.

Betamon: F.t's parent's were starting to get paranoid, so we couldn't even start tell the First of February. So Last time on Digimodification.

Gomamon: Suzie woke up from her near Death Experience with more of a speech impediment then even before, and with three year's of puberty crammed into twenty-four hours.

Betamon: afterwards T.K and Kari went to Primary Village to get Sora's egg, but Piedmon was already there. While T.K got his tail handed to him by Piedmon Kari had snuck away with Sora's egg and was leaving. Piedmon caught up to her though and in order to save her own life she dropped Sora's egg after Sora demanded that she do it. Piedmon then left with the egg after having whispered something into their ears as he left.

Gomamon: then we got Sora's story of what had happened before she went to camp and became a digidestined and met the super hot Biyomon.

F.t: Gomamon! What did we talk about.

Gomamon: what, I was just describing what had happened.

F.t: Sheesh, find every loophole their was possible.

Gomamon: Actually if I found every loophole then I would say according to quantum theory then we are now in a different dimension then we were at when I signed the contract. So it doesn't apply to this dimension.

F.t: Rule of thumb, never give a Gomamon an opportunity, cause they'll take it and make you want to hide your head in shame.

Betamon: you're only his tamer, if you think you have it bad, try being his twin.

Takuya: Are you &# kidding me!

Takato: Why are we at Rika's House?

Rika: No one calls me a whore.

(No, it's not binary for Rukato, Taiora and Michimi rule over all, but I can Dream.)

"Are you &# kidding me!" Takuya shouted.

"Takuya, your grounded for 4 months." Takashi told him.

"What! THAT'S A BUNCH OF BULL&$!"

"Make that eight months."

"WHAT THE…" he started to say when he felt a leg sweep him out from under and his head landed into a pair of hands and his eyes made contact with somebody's he knew very well.

"Are you sure you want that date I promised you in a year?" Zoë asked him give him a smile.

Takuya calmed himself down, "Nice going Takuya," he heard Rukato say jokingly. "Get grounded and put off a date for 8 months? I don't think even I've done that bad."

Takuya got up from Zoë's hands, as much as he didn't want too. "Really, hmmm, what about the time you got your mom to kiss a Numemon?" he said smugly.

Takato glared at his son, "and when did this happen?" he questioned.

Rukato gulped, "well, ummm, Gomamon was the one who actually did it."

"I don't think so bud, all you asked me for was a holograph of your Dad." Gomamon, DMB's twin, said.

Rukato looked at Takuya for help, but Takuya was just smiling smugly. "You dug yourself this hole, not me buddy.

Rukato then looked to Zoë, but she was busy catching up with Taishi about the past few months.

Rukato smiled at his dad, "well, I guess you've already figured out what happened, but mom never did, so theirs no harm."

Takato shook his head, "you do realize exactly how much blackmail your giving me?"

"Better you then mom." Rukato replied honestly.

Takuya smiled, just like Rukato to be able to worm himself out of trouble. He turned to Gomamon. "That's one nice little machine you got there."

Gomamon smiled at the praise, "isn't it, but tell me, what were a few bugs in it… I mean besides some of the obvious like being able to survive without exploding in space. Well, and the fact that I couldn't get the number's right on all the damage done and stuff."

"Don't look at me." DMB told his twin, "it's not my fault you couldn't decided on set figures to base all the stats off of."

Takuya shook his head. He looked at the three capsules that held him, Zoë and Tomoki. "So all of it was just an illusion." He sort of stated more then actually said.

"Yeah, more or less, so what did it feel like to wear real goggles instead of your trademark ski goggles." Gomamon asked.

"That was a nice feeling I have to admit." He noticed a fourth capsule. "Hey what's that fourth one four?" he asked.

"Hmm, oh that one," Gomamon said, "that was the one Shinya used."

"your brother would be here," Takashi said, "but he tried to pull an all nighter waiting for you guys to wake up, but eventually fell asleep. Your mom took him home."

Takuya nodded as Zoë came over, "So, J.p, the twins. They were both just AI's?" She questioned.

Gomamon nodded, "pretty good ones as well."

DMB snorted, "you spent all your time working on those Ai's that you didn't bother with anything else. We should have just scraped the Ai's from the beginning and worked on everything else."

Gomamon nodded, "yeah, probably but what's done is done. Maybe we can redo it some other time."

Tomoki, who had been listening to the converstation, looked over to his left "Dad!" he said gleefully running up and jumping up into his arms.

"Hey kido," Joe told his son holding him, Goma (Joe's Gomamon) snickered at the unintended joke. "so how are you."

"Not too bad, where's mom?" Tomoki asked.

"Risa had some other business to take care of." Goma told him, "something about an overworked father who couldn't even get time off to come see his own kid after three months."

Tomoki laughed, Goma always's seemed to have something like that to say. "So where is she anyways."

Joe looked down, "well, she took my patient so I could come." He said regretfully.

Tomoki laughed, "don't worry, I'm sure she would have liked to be here."

Zoë smiled at the reunion that consisted of Tomoki and his father. Joe was always working, so Tomoki had a hard time spending time with his dad. Everyone knew it as well. Tomoki didn't get a chance to spend much time with his mom or dad actually. It wasn't that they didn't try to spend as much time with their kid as possible, it was just that their were so few actual good Digi-doctors that their skills were called upon unendlessly.

She looked around for her parent's and sighed, She felt a hand on her shoulder "don't worry, they'll be here." Taishi said to her, then walked off. Zoë was in shock, what was weirder, the fact that Taishi actually said something kind to her, or that she actually had wanted a hand at a that moment.

Zoë was talking to Rukato about her experience in the Dream Machine, which she had learned was Rukato's name for it. It didn't surprise her at all, that was exactly the kinda of thing Rukato would do. He and Gomamon gotta along a little to well. Nobody ever knew what they were planning next.

Rukato motioned for Zoë to look behind her, she smiled as her mom and dad walked in. "Hey!" She said running to them and leapt into Michael's arms.

"Hey squirt." Michael said to her, "sorry about being late, but you know how long it takes for your mom to get ready."

Mimi socked him in the arm, "at least my digimon doesn't take hour long shower's."

"You know Zoë," Tsukaimon said to her, "it was really dull without you. I tried to play with Biyomon, but we just couldn't get along and Candlemon was just to lazy, so I was stuck playing with Dorumon and Rukato this whole time."

"I heard that." Rukato said from over where he and Gomamon were talking.

Zoë snickered, "Well, it couldn't have been that bad." She told her digimon.

Tsukaimon just stared at her in unbelief. "This is Rukato were talking about." Mimi smiled.

"Well, she does have a point. You know how Rukato is."

"I can still here you."

Michael smiled at the gogglehead of the new group, "Well, we better get home, we've still got to drop Mimi off at the store. So let's get going."

"I get to drive." MB said quickly.

"I don't think so." Palmon said grabbing her mate, knowing exactly how well he "drove".

"Aww come on.." Betamon started to complain.

Palmon grabbed her mate into a kiss. Betamon smiled as they broke off, "that's cheating."

"I know," she said as she pulled him into another one.

(10,554,897,494,312,366,499)

Gomamon smiled as he went through the tracks that they would play tonight. Takuya, Zoë and Tomoki had all just come out of his "Dream Machine", as Rukato called it, earlier that day, and since they had been in their for about three months, they were throwing them a welcome party.

"What you so happy about." Betamon, his twin, asked "Wait, I shouldn't even ask, what did Rukato "perusade" you to do this time."

"Nothing." Gomamon replied in his defense.

"Right, and I eat Raremon waste for breakfast." DMB replied back.

"well…" Gomamon said.

"Don't answer that, I don't even wanna know what he's done." DMB said shaking his head. "So, what's are first few tracks tonight."

Gomamon looked over the list, "well, I'm starting us out with track 78."

"You really want to be reformatted don't you." DMB told his twin, "you know Rukato is going to do something with that song."

"I know, but hey, this is a welcome back for the kids, not the parents."

Betamon scrolled through the list, "you really want Tai to kill you, don't you."

"I was thing more of Takato, but yeah, basically." Gomamon said smiling.

"Head's up at two o'clock, looks like the Laser Tag game is over." Betamon said as all the people started filing out of the room and onto the floor. Their was a lot of chattering going on.

"AND THE SCORE'S ARE UP!" Gomamon said into the microphone. Everyone cut the conversation and turned towards him. He looked around, the kids were all right up front with the more youthful acting digimon while the parent's and more mature digimon in the back, with Guilmon kinda of stuck half way in the middle deciding which group to go to.

"When this game started," Betamon went on, "we had over four hundred players. The leader, taking out 78 of them, firing only 78 shots, and scoring the most points in one round in the history of the Game is… You guessed it. GOMA scoring 3650 points in this round alone."

"Yeah." Goma shouted running to the stage where Gomamon handed him a blue ribbon.

"First of all I'd like to thank the frogs for this award." Goma started, only to be interuptted by Betamon.

"And I would also like to announce that Goma has won the award for the best sharp shooter since the beginning of the game. Why? Because he's to afraid to actually play the freakin game."

Tai chuckled to himself at the battle between the two. Joe hung his head in shame.

"Coming in second," Betamon announced, "was none other then are very own RENAMON" Their was lots of clapping "Scoring at 2534. Killing 52 people, almost all of them with head shots." Renamon teleported up their to be handed her red ribbon by Gomamon, a whistle was given out by Guilmon, in which it was Takato's turn to laugh and feel ashamed at the same time.

"Their's no surprise on those two getting those position, but this year we have a new addition to the top rankers, coming in third, with twenty five kills scoring 873 point. We've had multiple of these to take this position, but not until now has a three of the same species ever held a single spot." Many people were confused at this statement (Betamon: as well as many reader's, but on with the show.) "GIVE IT UP FOR SNOW AGUMON!"

A roar was heard as SnowAgumon was stunned out of his wits, he couldn't believe his ears, he had gotten 873 points. He just doubled his score. He went up their not believing his ears as he was handed a ribbon.

Betamon finally got the crowd to calm down. "Alright, so, at Brit's request, we made two diffent sets of awards, one for the digimon and one for the humans. So, are third place human. Doesn't matter, get up Rukato." Everybody just laughed as Rukato went up and was given his ribbon. "and in second place…"

"WAIT, what about my stats." Rukato demanded.

"As I said, doesn't matter, for second…" Betamon went on as the laughter errupted, it was good to see Rukato on the receiving end for once. Rukato just smiled sheepishly and bowed. "we have a most unusual thing. Have just come out of the Dream machine in second place, with 28 kills and scoring 896, just a few points ahead of his partner. GIVE IT UP FOR TOMOKI!" Betamon yelled with a fever.

The crowd errupted into clapping of hands and joy as the Tomoki looked even more surprised then his partner and went up onto the stage. Gomamon handed him his ribbon and patted his back.

Betamon smiled, "Before we go on, about third place, I didn't read his stats for a single reason. Rukato actually tied Tai in points and kills, but their was no way we were going to get Tai up here, so we just gave it to Rukato, and I'm sorry to admit, the first place person is not here, so she will not be giving an award for first. So as a result, Tomoki ranks first, Tai ranks second on the default that he has more total points then Rukato and the kid over their who wears his goggles even tighter then both Tai and Takato combined get's third." Their was some laughter as the winner's went and sat down.

"Alright," Gomamon said taking over, " we're here tonight to celebrate three kids for coming be the first to try the dream machine. In two months it will be able to be used by everyone for up to twenty-four hours a person, but for now we're celebrating the return of TAKUYA JAWTIN and his partner Candlemon. ZOEY BARTIN and her digimon KUDAMON, and last but not certainly not least, TOMOKI KIDO. As the DJ's tonight we hope you all have a good time, because I'm going to get myself killed by both Tai and Takato, so you'll enjoy it or else." Tai looked at Takato, who looked back, both of them tried bolting for the door before Gomamon and Rukato did anything, they were held back by their shirts with their wives hands.

"I don't think so Takato, you're not leaving me with those two alone." Rika scolded him.

"And were do you think you're going Tai?" Sora questioned. The two boys just gulped.

"He's your son." Tai accused him.

"He models himself after you." Takato shot back. The two girls sighed.

"Alright" Gomamon said into the microphone. "For are first song, we have… FOOT LOOSE. So let's kick off those Sunday shoes." Dorumon gulped as his tamer's grin became far too big.

Tai sat back and relaxed, sitting at the table were the eight parents of the new kids. He was sitting next to his wife Sora, with Takato and his wife, Rika, sitting on the opposite side. Next to the Matsuki's sat Joe and Risa. Across from them, sitting next to him and Sora where Michael and Mimi. "Hey Tai, where's that sister of yours?" Takato asked him.

"you do know that T.K.'s is married to her." Rika kidded around with him.

"Yeah… but who to say that nobody ever crosses that line." Takato said casually as Tai burst out laughing.

That was the wrong thing to say as Rika's elbow collided with chest knocking the wind out of him. "if you think T.K will be mad, then don't even try to think about what I'll do." She said fiercely.

Tai couldn't help but laugh, and even Sora, as hard as she was trying not to, ended up giving a few chuckles. Taishi, who was sitting on the other side of Tai, didn't even change emotions.

Takato finally recovered from Rika's blow when Matt walked over. "Hey," Tai said, "glad you could make it." Taishi landed on the ground in a heap, "take a seat."

"Tai!" Sora scolded him, " you just knocked Taishi off her seat."

"It's alright mom." Taishi told her.

"No it's not alright Taishi, you need to stick up for yourself instead of always taking your father's side on these things."

"MOM, its alright." Taishi flared.

Sora dropped the subject, but meant to talk to the both of them about it later.

Takato scooted over and Matt sat down. Taishi got back up into her seat. "Brit always' goes overboard on these things. You would think that he'd get tired of always putting these parties on."

"Well," Michael said, "he hasn't really put one on for about six months, and it's good for the kids anyways. Gives them a chance to relax and loosen up."

"HEADS UP," Takato shouted grabbing Matt and pushing him to the table while ducking himself as the line Kick of your Sunday shoes played. Rika shadow shifted as Rukato's shoe came flying by and smacked Joe into Risa, of course, Joe being huge and a klutz, completely knocked both him and Risa onto the ground. He got back up and held Rukato's shoe.

"Nice shot, but you should have expected your dad to move like that." Joe told him.

"I know," Rukato said, "but Matt sorta interfered with my shot."

"Thanks Matt." Takato told his friend, "looks like you just saved Rukato a good but kicking at fuse ball later tonight."

Rukato laughed and turned towards Taishi, "hey come on, what's so bad about having a little fun."

Taishi got up, "grow up Rukato." She said and turned to walk away. Rukato looked at Tai, who looked away. Taishi flew forward a few feet as Rukato's other shoe landed on her hat. She checked to make sure her hat was still on, then turned on the grinning teen. "YOU ARE SO DEAD!" she yelled as Rukato took off running, with Taishi hot on his heels.

"Hi guys bye guys." Rukato told Takuya and Zoë as he sprinted past with Taishi close behind.

"Well, looks like Rukato's running for his life again." Takuya told her.

"This time he's doing it in socks though."

"Do you think he'll escape?" Takuya asked her.

"It's Rukato… of course it is Taishi as well, so… I don't know." Zoë replied.

"You better hope your will is written out." Taishi roared as the flew out of the main room into the halls of the store. After about two corner's Taishi leapt at Rukato catching him in the shoulder's slamming him to the ground sending his D-Arc flying. They both looked in horror as it came to a clatter against the ground.

Rukato quickly got up and picked it up, putting it away. Taishi could believe what she was staring at. "You have the Biohazard?" she said amazed.

"What's it to you." Rukato asked darkly, a tone she had never heard from him, and now that she did, it sounded unnatural, completely unRukato like.

Rukato stared at her, his eyes, Slits? This was a side of Rukato she wasn't sure very many people got to see, and now it scared the crap out of her. "you won't tell this to anybody." He told her with the same dark voice.

"Do your parent's know?" she asked.

"WHAT THE HECK TAISHI! WHAT DO YOU CARE!" he roared.

"Your dealing with something very destructive, of course I'm going to care." She told him.

"what's it matter to you if I die. I'm just the immature jerk, Right?" he asked rhetorically.

"If you go and start messing with Biohazard and go and get yourself killed, then the duty of the gogglehead falls to me. For all of your faults, I'm not the leader you are." She told him.

"so that's it. You don't want me dealing with my problems so you won't have to live up to your crests? Your pathetic Taishi, and the brown mop of yours that you hide under that hat is just as stupid as you."

Taishi couldn't stand it, that was just too much. She watched as her foot came up and collided with Rukato's chest sending him flying backwards into a stand. He lay still on the floor, and she ran…

100010010100100100100100100010010010010010010010010010010101000100100100(9,892,478,227,938,691,409)

Suzie cried out in pain as she landed on Lopmon's horns and rolled off the pile. She looked at the three large cuts that Lopmon had accidentally scraped into her arm. She froze the top of the blood so that the rest couldn't get out.

"Don't do that Suzie, it stops the healing process." Gomamon told her.

"Here," Rika's mom said, "I'll take care of it." She grabbed Suzie by the hand and led her into the bathroom.

"ummm…" Takato said perplexed, "why are we at Rika's house?"

"Well," Henry said holding his head with his hand, "if you think about it, it makes sense. I mean of course Yamshowzu is going to look at are own homes and have men following are parent's, but as far as he's concerned, Rika doesn't even exist anymore, nor anything about her."

"I guess," Takato said looking around "but… this place…"

Henry nodded, "it hurts, I know. But we don't have much of a choice Takato."

Gomamon nodded, "your correct, until Takashi gets back with Betamon and Yoush, we really don't have much more we can do. Yamshowzu has a lot more man power and he knows how to manipulate the law. We're just pawns in this battle between Yamaki and him."

"Well, there must be something we can do." Terriermon said.

"There is, even pawns can take out the queens and rooks, but as for now we need to lay low. We need to get Yamshowzu to think that we went to the Adventures world, so we can't show ourselves for awhile." Gomamon told him.

"So were hold up here?" Takato asked, already knowing the answer.

"yeah." Gomamon said hooking his computer up to the Nonaka's. He turned to Rika's grandma as she came in with Suzie's arm bandaged up. "Hello Old Maid, so do tell me, where is Kudamon these days.'

"Well, well, who would have ever thought the white seal was actually a digimon. Kudamon, I was actually kinda of hoping you could tell me. I haven't seen her in ages."

"Wait." Henry said confused, "what's going on."

Gomamon nodded, "Mrs. Makino here was one of the original six digidestined, she's also the best human hacker I've met."

Takato was stunned, "Wait, you've known about Digimon this entire time?"

Rika's mom nodded and held out her digivice, it looked just like the ones that the old school Digi-destined had. Henry was stunned, "wait, that's the same kind that Tai and them have."

Gomamon nodded, "what of it… those were just the first models."

Henry couldn't believe what he was hearing, "you mean Tai, Matt, Davis and the rest of them are real?"

Gomamon stared at him perplexed, "wait, I thought you had met WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon."

"Omegamon was thee Omegamon?" Henry asked.

"Who else could he be." Gomamon asked. "Anyway's I may have found out what happened to Rika."

"Oh really?" Rika's grandma said, "I've searched all in this quadrant and haven't been able to find a trace of her."

"Yeah, so did I, but a few things didn't add up, so I went back and started screen shoting what had happened, that's a real pain in the but, but anyway's, in one of the sixty or so shots I took of the attack, Rika disappears at screen 46. Takato got hit at screen 23 and Henry and 38."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Terriermon asks. "I mean she just would have gotten hit with the attack then."

"That's just the thing, the attack doesn't reach her tell screen 51, she disappeared microseconds before she should have." Gomamon told him.

"o omeody us ave aved er." Suzie told them. Takato jumped as she said that, having completely forgotten her.

"Is their anything else?" Rika's Grandma asked.

"Yeah, here at frame 44 is a glare of light, and here in 45 is a white blur." He told them.

"hmmm… That's interesting, did Imperialdramon go paladin?" Henry asked.

Guilmon looked at everybody not understanding a word, "Takatomon, I'm hungry."

"You didn't eat?" Rika's Mom asked them. Henry shook his head, "why heaven's, why didn't you tell me, I'll go and make some breakfast right now."

Gomamon smiled, "That's Mrs. Makino for you, but anyways, I don't think it was Imperialdramon, I think that Omegamon somehow ampped up to that speed. How? I'm not sure."

"So you mean Rika and Renamon are alive." Takato asked hopefully.

"More then alive, they're currently both living with Tai and the gang." Gomamon told them.

"Ohhh, food." Guilmon said running into the kitchen as an aroma wafted over the group. Henry heard his stomach grumble, or at least he thought he heard it, he couldn't tell over how loud Suzie's was.

"I uess I ungry." Suzie told the group.

"Dang, and I thought Betamon's stomach growled loud." Gomamon said as the group walked into the kitchen.

(15,281,378,498,945,282,729)

Mako nodded to the group as he sat down with Suzie, it was good for her to come to this, as she was getting over Henry's death. Henry had just died a few months ago of cancer. When his egg didn't show up immediately, Terriermon had gone off searching for it. Lopmon was torn at that moment between sticking with her Tamer and sticking by her mate. For the first week she had stayed by Suzie's side, but it eventually got to be too much for her. She went off to find Terriermon, this had devastated Suzie, and when Henry's egg finally did show up, he wasn't sure it had done much for her health. It was a constant reminder of what had happened.

"Well, looks like the gang's all here." T.K said.

"Well, as much as that's left." Matt told them.

"I could call Tomoki over here if you want it really to be complete." Joe suggested watching as the kids danced and had a good time.

"It's hard." Sora said, "knowing that this is all that's left."

Kari nodded, "yeah, but at least we have some to fill the positions."

Amber looked at their kids, "yeah, I guess we do."

"Ryo, Ai, Davis, Yolie, Ken, Izzy… all of them…" Risa said with a wave a guilt coming over her.

"Don't blame yourself Reese," Michael told her, "You know it's not your fault."

"But theirs still other's to add to that list." Mimi said.

"Cody, Henry." Suzie whispered. Mako put his arm around her, "he'll be alright, I mean, look at Cody." He said motioning over to Tomoki, "he's doing alright."

"Will you guys be adopting him?" Tai asked them.

Suzie shook her head, "no… we won't… I… don't think I could take it."

Yamato nodded, "I'll take him, it'd be nice to have somebody I could call family besides my bro." He said motioning to his brother.

"So I take it that the divorce paper's went through?" Takato asked.

"Yeah, just before I came here."

"Dang Matt, you're made of tough stuff, you know that." Tai told his best friend, "if that happened to me, you guys probably wouldn't have seen me for another three weeks."

"Thanks Tai. It's just I don't understand why nobody can see past the rock star side of me. Girls look at me and think that I'm just some player who's not interested in anything real. It's been getting annoying." He told them.

"Relax Bro, I'm sure theirs another girl like Brittany out their, you just gotta keep looking." T.K told him, referring to his first wife, who had died after five years of marriage. Since he's just had problems with his wives. Two divorces in two years, it must have been something of a world record.

Takato noticed Rika stiffen up, and recognized that Renamon was speaking to her, as she came out of her trance she grabbed him and Joe without a second thought and teleported. When Takato appeared, he saw his son smashed up on the floor, unconscious.

"He's injured pretty badly Joe." Renamon told him as the three humans were shocked at what they saw.

Joe nodded and turned to Rika, "Can you go get Risa?"

Rika nodded and teleported back.

"Hang in their buddy," Dorumon told his tamer, "you still have to much too live for."

(18,430,981,583,001,582,255)

Tai watched as Taishi came into her room the next morning. He shut the door behind her. "You know Rukato is in the Hospital."

Taishi didn't say anything as she placed a backpack on the bed and started stuffing a few pairs of clothes in it.

"Taishi… what happened." He asked her.

"Why do you care." She said grabbing a book and stuffing it in her pack along with some other basic items. She put in a sleeping Yokomon and zipped it up with just enough room for Yokomon to breath. She put some energy bars in the front pocket.

"I think I deserve an explanation."

"I snapped alright!" she snapped at him.

"Your sixteen Taishi." He growled, "you shouldn't have anything to snap about."

"Or maybe I do dad, that's what happens when you can't ever do anything." She said glaring at him.

"What do you need to do that could cause so much stress. I give you a surprisingly large amount of freedom compared to what I gave Kari." He scolded her.

"LIKE WHAT. SURE, MAYBE I CAN GO AND DO WHAT EVER THE DIGITAL I WANT, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO ANYTHING IMPORTANT!" Taishi screamed and paused with fury, "I don't want to talk about it." She growled.

"I'm just trying to protect you. You have no idea what's out their Taishi." Tai told her.

"Nor will I get the chance." She said fiercely shoving him out of the way and walking out the door.

Taishi passed Sora on her way out the door. "Are you alright Taishi?" Sora asked really concerned.

Taishi stopped with her eyes looking at the ground, "how would you feel if you just killed your only friend." She walked on.

Tai followed Taishi with his eyes as she walked away from Sora. He sat down with tears forming in his eyes "Are you alright Tai?" Sora asked sitting next to him. He looked down at the floor.

"What did I do wrong Sora. Where did I mess up." He asked.

"Tai…" Sora said, "you didn't do anything wrong. You did what you felt was best."

"But would she still be here…if I just let her come… I lost her trying to protect her." He sobbed.

Sora grabbed his brown mass of hair and set his head in her lap, "You weren't wrong in not wanting Taishi to take part of the things that are happening Tai. She's your kid though, adventuring is in her blood." Sora said, then with a smile added, "as well her hotheadedness and appetite"

Tai cracked a smile for a second. "Do you want me to watch over her?" DarkAgumon asked.

Tai shook her head, "no, Sora's right, by the time I was Taishi's age I had already saved the world twice, this is something she needs to do on her own. It will just cause more damage then is already there with her if she catches you. Besides, Yokomon will keep her safe."

Joe sat down with a thud… "he's gone to far…" he told Risa as he looked at Rukato lying on the bed. He'd been there for twelve hours now and it was taking its toll on Joe and his wife.

Risa understood what her husband was going through, but now was about the worst time to break down. "Joe, he's not dead yet, we can still save him."

Joe shook his head, "you don't understand Risa, if it was just Rukato's body that was injured he'd live, but his data is corrupted, and at the rate of energy it's taking from his body to repair it, he'll be dead within the day."

Goma looked at the stats on the machine, "Joe… I know this is hard, but their was nothing you could do for Cody back then." He looked at his partner square in the eyes, "but you're the only one who can save Rukato's life now. Everything you've done in your life Joe has come down to this moment. You know how to save his life, I've never seen anybody with so much information crammed inside their head. Even Izzy didn't comprehend the kinda of stuff you do Joe. Your Rukato's only hope."

Joe shook his head, "you don't understand, theirs nothing we can do. The only way would be to get him to the digital world were his data could feed off the energy of the world itself, but if we take him their, the trip would kill him instantly."

Risa put a comforting hand on Joe's shoulder, "isn't their some sort of substitute we could use for the energy?" She asked.

Joe nodded, "if he biomerged with Dorumon again, but that would kill him as well. Everything that could be done to save his life will kill him before he gets to that stage."

Goma thought about that, then started typing on a computer, "hmmm… well… we could use those data packets." He told them.

"It won't work, his physical form would need to have a lot more data in it." Joe said looking at Goma typing. He stared at him for a few seconds zoning out.

Risa noticed this, "what is it Joe."

"I…I think I have an idea." He said pointing to Goma, "where's Gomamon at the moment?" He asked.

Risa felt a smile creep across her face, "Of course." She ran to go get him.

"uhhh… you mind explaining?" Goma asked as Risa ran out of the room.

"You had hit right on the money when you said we could use Data packets." Joe told him, "I had already gone over this, but when I saw you typing, it reminded me of another Gomamon, who just can't be seen anywhere without his laptop."

"Hmmm? I'm not sure I understand." Goma said cocking his head.

"you rang?" Gomamon asked walking in with Risa, pushing his laptop.

"How fast can you set up a digital field." Joe asked standing to his full 6,6 height.

"Within in twenty minutes, but any digimon that's trying to biomerge will most likely lock onto here, but I don't see why you need one." Gomamon said.

"Rukato's on a energy death tract," Goma told him, then grinned, "we need a biofield to affect him so his body will use the energy of some data packets instead of his own life-force."

"Ah, I think I can do that, but give me thirty so I can set up a basic firewall." Gomamon said typing on his computer.

"Basic firewall?" Goma questioned, "aren't your basic firewalls things that could have taken Izzy eighteen hours to brake through?"

"Well, the one I'm currently setting up would have taken him 21 hours and thirteen minutes, give or take three minutes if I underestimated or overestimated his bladder intake output sequences." Gomamon said.

Joe sighed, then let out a small chuckle, "why do I always get stuck with the digimon that can't ever be serious."

"What do you mean." Gomamon asked still typing on his computer and staring at it intently, "I was being serious. You humans have such complex systems were every factor of every system in your body affecting every other system. We digimon have one system of taking in energy, and it's not affected by any other data streams then itself, then our pain stream is also unconnected to anything else and so on and so forth."

Goma laughed, "you know how funny it is that were talking about how we create doo-doo like it's a dinner topic."

Risa shook her head, "men." She said. Joe agreed, then realized what she said.

Tai sighed, it had been three months since Taishi had almost killed Rukato and had left. The only knowledge that he even knew she was still alive was that she had sent a single e-mail after two months. He remembered clearly the letter addressed to his wife.

Dear Mom,

I'm in the digital world, on the edge of the quadrants, I'm going to cross over into the north soon, and so I'm just letting you know where I am. I hope I didn't cause to many problems. Please tell Takato and Rika I'm sorry, and that they can track me down if they want to beat me to a pulp, that is if some digimon hasn't already beaten them to it. Funny thing, for as much as I hate dad, all of that training with him has given me a chance in this world, I've been protecting Biyomon more then she's been protecting me. Theirs a lot more ultimate level digimon as I've gone more towards the north quadrant.

Since this is probably the last time your going to be hearing from me, I feel like I need to be honest for once. Mom… I do love you, but I can't stand the crest you've passed onto me, so I've destroyed it. I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. Now I'm feeling guilty about it. I would try and destroy Tai's crest as well (I'm having a hard time of thinking of him as a dad), but that would mean getting rid of my claws as well, and I'm not ready to commit suicide quite yet. I'm sorry for being such a pain in the tail all of my life, I hope you can forgive me. My only regret, that I'm taking Biyomon into this life with me. I tried to convince her to go home, but she just won't listen to me. Please tell Zoë to not take her time with Takuya but to trust her feelings, and let Tomoki know I'm sorry for leaving him like this, but I really didn't have a choice.

I'm not trying to be selfish or anything, but I ask that I have my tombstone placed next to Rukato's if you would. When I'm born again, could I have somebody else take care of me? I'm not going to live a life with Tai again. I'm very sorry for this mom, I made some rash decision's and now their affecting your life, but please forgive me.

When you contact Tai again in the digital world, I would appreciate it if you didn't let him know about this letter, or anybody else for that matter.

Love and Farewell,

Taishi

P.S. Give Tomoki my PS5.

That letter had probably hurt more then anything else in his entire life, of course she was off on a few things. A. She thought that he was out their trying to frantically find her, and B. Rukato wasn't dead, he picked up the phone, "Hello… Yes is Rukato their?"

Rukato hung up the phone, and went to his room, "Hmmm?" Dorumon asked as Rukato brought out his backpack and started packing, he went and grabbed some flint and steel from the pantry.

"You know, you could just have Guilmon start up whatever you need." Takato said startling his son.

"Oh, yeah… sure, I just didn't want to bother him from his nap." He said quickly.

"Actually he's working out, but good guess." Takato said, "so I take it that you leaving has something to do with the phone call."

Rukato sighed, his dad didn't miss a trick, "sort of. It was Tai, and he asked if I would go get Taishi."

"Which you had planning to do anyway's, but still couldn't work up the courage to tell your mother?" Takato asked.

"Yeah, kinda of." Rukato said.

Takato took Rukato into his son's room. "I had a feeling you would be doing this," Takato told him, "so," he said opening his son's closet, "I already packed for you." He handed him a Blue pack with the Biohazard symbol on the back of it. Rukato was in disbelief, "Bring her back safe Rukato, that's all I ask of you." Takato told him looking him square in the eyes.

"I will dad, I will." Takato nodded and turned to Dorumon,

"Just to let you know, I will not hold back Rika in any way, shape or form if Rukato gets hurt." Takato told him.

Dorumon gulped, "don't worry, I'll keep a good eye on him sir."

"Good, I wouldn't expect it anyway else."

"Hey dad, how am I going to get past mom?" Rukato asked.

"Leave that to me, you just go and save Taishi." Rukato hugged his dad, "I'll be back for Christmas."

"I'm going to hold you to your word on that." His dad told him.

"I wouldn't want it any other way." He said as they knocked their fists together.

Betamon: alright, for all you out there who aren't completely confused about what just went on, give yourself around of applause.

Gomamon: however, for all of you who don't have a clue to what's going on, just let us know and we'll send you a Tee-shirt that says, "I actually Didn't get Digi-Modification Chapter 9 Part III, oh and the I like Gomamon over Betamon."

Betamon: Actually I burnt all of those shirts.

Gomamon: Great, now what are we going to give to all of our readers who endured this chapter to this point and didn't know what they were going on.

Betamon: well, we could just send them some spare Numemon poo data we have around here.

Gomamon: sounds good, so for all of you who were confused, just let us know and we'll send you some Numemon poo code so you can't make you very own feces to throw at people.

F.t: I am so glad I'm not eating right now, and sorry to those of you who are, I seriously apologize if you hurl and completely destroy your computer.

Betamon: and if you do, we'll send you another round of Numemon snot data code so you can add it to your collection of gross body things.

Gomamon: and if that make you hurl again, we'll send you Betamon to clean it all up.

Betamon: Warning: Demonstration of how I clean up. WARP DIGIVOLVE TO METALSEADRAMON. Alright where are you Gomamon.

Gomamon: GULP.

MetalSeadramon: RIVER OF POWER, I may cause more damage then wanted while cleaning up.

Gomamon's Egg: So now onto the part of the story you guys will actually understand.

Rika had finally been let out of the hospital after the doctors ran test after test trying to figure out how the heck she had been healed so fast, so it took awhile, but they eventually let her leave with Tai in a wheelchair.

"You very controlling, you know that." Tai told her as he pushed her in the wheelchair towards their apartment.

"Speak for yourself Tai." Rika shot back.

Tai chuckled amazed at how cool this girl really was, "no, I'm overprotective, not controlling."

"Yet you need power to protect, so your controlling." She said smiling gleefully.

"You took some more of that medicine, didn't you."

"Only one pill," she said, then see Tai's face, "look, it helps, alright?"

"No it's not alright, because you don't have to deal with yourself when your like this." He told her.

"It was only one pill, it's not like it's I can't control myself somewhat." She explained.

"Aww, leave her alone Tai, besides, how much damage can one pill cause?" DarkAgumon asked.

"You have no idea what she's like with those pills, do you." He asked.

"It's that bad?" DarkAgu asked in shock

"Actually it's worse, but we got a Limousine at your two Tai." Rika told him.

Tai watched as the vehicle came to a stop next to them and the window rolled down, "hey Tai." A girl said to him.

"Julie?"

"The one and only," the girl said.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

Rika mumbled something under her breath.

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite here that." Julie told her.

"I'm just amazed that it took you three whole days from the time of Sora's death to actually come and try to be the girlfriend of the great Taichi Kamiya." Rika retorted annoyed.

"Sora's dead… Oh, I didn't know that, I'm so sorry Tai." She with a look of horror on her face.

"Yeah, she sacrificed herself a few days ago for me." He said plainly.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, do you want to go to the park and talk about it?" she asked caringly. Tai looked at Rika who had a grin on her face, " oh, you don't have to worry about her, I can have my butler take her home."

Tai smiled, "I'll give you credit Julie, you're a lot better then most of the girls who have come up to me in the past few days, however you still came to soon, you should have given it another week, but I have Rika to keep all of you preps away, so it wouldn't have mattered." He grinned at her as Julie stood in shock.

"Fine, if you want that whore over" she started to say.

As Rika heard the word whore, her eyes went wild as she stood up, put a hand on Tai for support and her fist smashed into Julie's face. "No one calls me a whore" she growled out.

Rika sat back down in her wheelchair as her legs where about to collapse under her. Tai gave a grin to Julie, and pushed Rika down the street to their apartment. "Was that necessary?" He asked as they got to their apartment.

"You're a thickheaded gogglehead, aren't you?" Rika asked.

"Point proven." He said. He opened the door to the kitchen, "what on earth happened?" he asked. Rika looked in the room, their was coco-puffs scattered everywhere with the box lying on the floor partly chewed, their was rice piles underneath the bags that held them with holes chewed in the side of them. There was also several empty can's of soda that had been chewed into.

"Uhhh, it wasn't us, we've been with you the whole time." Agumon told him, indicating to himself, DarkAgumon and Biyomon.

"and this doesn't seem like something that Renamon would do." Tai said walking in and grabbing a broom.

"We'll go check the house." Agumon told the humans as they went into the rest of the place, being careful not to step in the scattered coco-puffs, but a few still ended up crushed beneath the large Reptilian feet.

DarkAgumon shook off his feet and went looking around, their didn't seem to be any thing else disturbed in the house. He finally decided to wait and see what Agu and Biyo found and went to sit on the couch, when he saw the cause. Their sleeping on the couch were three little in-training digimon, they all looked like Tokomon with slight differences. The first had purple fur and sharp ears and tail, the next was scaly and red with wing like ears and a long tail that came to a point. The third was yellow and had fox ears and a fluffy tail that was white at the end.

"Hey Tai, I think I found the source." He called out.

"Really?" Tai said surprised as he came in the room, closely followed by Rika in her wheelchair. DarkAgumon pointed at the couch.

Tai looked surprised, "Are they Digimon?" he asked.

Rika nodded, "yeah, I recognize two of them, the yellow one there is a Vixiemon, Renamon's in-training form and the red one there is a Gigimon, the in-training of Guilmon." She brought out her D-ark, "and the last one is a… Dorimon?" Rika stared at it, "can that be right?" She said.

"What is it?" DarkAgumon asked curiously, "well, it says that Dorimon is a Vixiemon and a Gigimon sharing one core and one set of data."

"Like DNA Digivolving?" Agumon asked.

DarkAgumon shook his head, "no, cause with DNA digivolving, the core is twice the size and so is the data. Technically their considered one, but theirs a barrier to separate the two so they don't become two entwined with each other."

Biyomon came out of the bathroom carrying what was an empty egg shell, "well, at least we know where they came from, we'll have to tell Renamon congratulations on being a mother."

Tai rolled his eyes, "great, more oddballs to add to the household." Everybody else snickered.

The tri-eye-hand fingered the egg carefully, "well done Piedmon, looks like you're the only one to actually accomplish a task given to them." He said, Piedmon nodded accepting the praise. "Are ranks have dwindled, first Puppetmon, then Daemon, Machinedramon after that, and now MetalEtamon." He told them, "and we were down MetalSeadramon to begin with." He looked at the few powerful followers left, there was still Piedmon, Chaosdramon, Devitamamon, KingEtamon, Susanoomon and Lucemon. "Half of our original force, and yet very little is done."

"I am here on my own business," Susanoomon told him, "so I would advise that you not count me in your force because I will leave once I have proved I'm the real warrior." He said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Yes," the child Digimon Lucemon told him, "we all know, but you still are counted on to do your task of eliminating him."

"Well, if I do say so myself, that would be your ninth truth Lucemon, looks like whatever you say next is going to be a lie," Impmon said flipping onto the table from the rafters. The tri-eye-hand waved the mega's down.

"Why hello Impmon," he said, "I'm surprised to see you, I didn't even think you were still alive, and if you were, I never thought you would have come to me."

"Yeah, Yeah," Impmon said walking forward with his hands behind his head, " I have an unusual agenda for myself these days," He said as he bit into a piece of fruit, "interesting group you have here. I would have never thought you would have stooped so low as to bring Etamon's into this."

"Cannon Fodder," Chaosdramon coughed.

"ah, I see." Impmon said looking at KingEtamon, "I suppose you'll use him in the main attack force against the digidestined, but I'm not here to guess your plans." He told the tri-eye-hand.

"then you are looking for an agreement I take it." The tri-eye-hand asked.

"You got it oh powerful one." Impmon said forming a fireball in his hand, "but I'm a hard bargainer.

"Then I suppose you want us to completely leave your world both the digital and human side of it alone." He asked.

"Well, glad to see someone is actually smart here, but I already know that your not going to take that, so I figured you leave the just the human world alone and get Yamshowzu's tail out of their." Impmon said snacking on yet another piece of the fruit.

"I can not control Yamshowzu to that degree." The tri-eye-hand told him.

"Well, if you were Lucemon I would expect the next nine things to come out of your mouths to be truths, but your not, so I guess I'm going to haft to expect even more trickery from you." Impmon said grinning.

"You're a sly one, I'll give you that, but here's my deal, I'll leave the human world alone as well as all digimon with an intent for evil under my dominion, or hired by me." He quickly added, seeing that Impmon caught that, " and I'll stop any technology or anything of that sort from any other world to be cut off in yours, providing it's controlled by Yamshowzu,"

"or any one of his flunkies he's hired," Impmon told him, "alright that's fine, but I want one more thing."

"I presume this has to do with those tamer twins of yours?" The tri-eye-hand asked. Impmon felt the crowd of mega's gasped silently, and Impmon grinned a bit more.

"yeah it does, while there in the digital world, I want a promise that they will not die, and if I fall, then they get sent back home." The tri-eye-hand nodded.

"Those are a bit extreme measures, but I understand, so I agree. So what info do you have to trade for all of this, besides keeping the location of this base and all those who are here a secret of course."

Impmon nodded, "Apocalymon's back." He told him.

"What, are you sure?" Piedmon asked standing up. Impmon nodded.

"aaand, howwww, dooooo, youuuu, knooooow, thisssss?" Devitamamon hissed out.

"Because, he already had a spy in your midst."

"Daemon." Tri-eye-hand said, not surprised, but glad to know.

"Daemon sir?" KingEtamon asked.

Lucemon nodded, "looks like are friend Apocalymon decided to turn from the dark master's, as the only real one had left," He said when Piedmon interrupted him.

"what was that?" He growled.

"MetalSeadramon was the only one of you who could actually wield dark well enough to be called a master." Piedmon sat down annoyed, "as I was saying, he turned from the dark master's to the demon lords, which is why are friend here knows about it."

Impmon nodded, "well, looks like theirs another among you who actually has some brains.

"Then why didn't Lucemon know about this beforehand?" Chaosdramon asked.

"Simple, because the Lucemon you see here is not the Lucemon that originally was created as the bane of good." Impmon said, "here is what you would call the deceiver."

"you know your facts." Lucemon congratulated him.

"Cut the flattery, I know how you work since you're actually based off of Lucifer and isn't just some random data that tried to take form."

"Based, but not him." Lucemon told him.

"Yeah, yeah, I know, your just trying to tell some truths so you can lie to me." Impmon said

Tri-eye-hand smiled, "so what is it that you have to bargin for a free passage out of here."

"Another piece of info, but just one question, what's with the egg? I've never known you to have an interest in Love." Impmon asked.

"That's something that you don't have to the info to bargain for. So what piece of info do you have that will get you out of here."

"Hazard is back, but this time, he's under control." Impmon said.

"Hmm, I had suspected something like that," The tri-eye-hand said, "I see you know how to bargain, well, I suppose you should be on your way." He said throwing him a small black ball.

"A teleporter. Nice." Beelzemon said, "so how long do I have before you things start firing."

"Long enough to get on Behemoth," The tri-eye-hand told him.

"This should be fun, Later Losers" he said teleporting himself.

"Sssstrangeee, charrractaaarrr," Devitamamon said.

"I do agree," Tri-eye-hand told him, "but he knows what he's doing, we would be wise to not underestimate him."

Sora got up, she couldn't sleep that night, yet she needed to, tomorrow they were going to go back home and find the eighth child. Home, it was a strange thought after being here for so long. She went and looked at the fish swimming by, watched a Crabmon scurry after a small red fish.

"Quite Beautiful, isn't it." Jennai said, making her jump. "I'm sorry, did I startle you."

"Yeah, but it doesn't matter." She said looking back out at the fish.

"Wondering about your crest are you?" Jennai said in a Yoda accent.

Sora laughed, "I guess the force can read my thoughts now."

"We'll when you're as old as me, you learn to know what people are thinking about."

Sora looked down trot, "So you know what I'm thinking about?"

"I take it your worried about the overzealousness of one Taichi Kamiya about you having the Crest of Love?"

Sora smiled sheepishly, "something like that." Of course, that wasn't the only instance, she also was thinking about how worried Tai had been for her when she had been kidnapped by Datamon.

"I see that he's troubling your mind."

"He's rather brash, and could get us into some deep trouble." She told him.

"And yet that's part of the reason the crest of Courage fits him so well, does it not?" He asked.

Sora nodded, "I guess so."

"Sora, you may have to come to a choice someday, one that may cause you much grief, but always stay true to your crest." He said. He looked out into the water, "Theirs something you children don't know about your crests. The fact is that your crests link you to your digimon. If that link becomes so weak, then you may very well lose your digimon."

"Lose our digimon?" Sora asked, thinking a life without Biyomon.

"Yes, when a destined loses it's digimon, then the crest has been extinguished. The digimon will then live on hating it's partner for the rest of it's life, it is not a pleasant fact, but it is true. I ask that you make sure that you never lose your crest, for when you do, Biyomon will hate you more then anything ever possible."

Sora stared in fear out the window. "I'm sorry to have frightened you child, now please, go back to bed, you have a long day ahead of you tomorrow.
