Two weeks later, Tom and Mandy were standing excitedly at the bottom of the silo.

Mandy had received a call from Tom who was frantic.

- Mandy! Come quick. It happened. – said Tom over the phone.
As the new year rang he had gone to his drawer looking for the stone. Then, at one point the stone started glowing. Then, Tom started to make phone calls.

The days following those events had been hectic. The news ran for several days running the story about the mysterious creatures showing up close to Las Vegas area.

The story disappeared quickly when it was started to be disclosed that there was a military project close by.

- Thank you for bringing us here. – thanked Tom to Stewart who was standing next to Fred awaiting something to happen.

- What is that on your hand? - asked Stewart.

- I don't know….the stone turned into this suddenly…. – said Tom showing a strange device on his hands. It was made of a strange gray blue material with a circular screen in the middle. The screen was rimmed with a silver ring with strange characters.

- You look cute in plain clothes. – said Mandy commenting on Stewart's apparel.

- Yeah, well. This is what they call a dishonorable discharge….. – snickered Stewart.

- Oh…..sorry to hear that…..- replied Mandy.

- It's unfair man! – yelled Fred. – I heard Spencer was actually given a pardon and was even going to be promoted.

- Spencer has powerful friends. Much so, he declined the promotion and moved overseas. It seems he found a better employer. Besides, he could not get a motion to court martial me. None of the soldiers in the force was willing to testify against me.

In that moment, the dollies started making noises with the laser beams increasing the intensity producing the portal.

The device on Tom's hand started to react; the screen blinked green momentarily and it formed the shape of a grid. Then suddenly it projected a holographic image of something that looked like Rex. The projection was surrounded by a circular shaped digital compass that showed a red arrow tip pointing towards the portal. Below the holographic image strange characters showed up.

A shadow could be distinguished coming from the light. It belonged to a creature that stood still as he came out with a smile on his face. Same floppy ears and white fur but this time across his chest a symbol with a shape of a C with an overhanging bar could be seen. A large dot was inside the C. It was definitely Rex but his eyes were a little different. Triangular red marking flanked his eyes. His left arm now had a golden bracelet with strange characters engraved in it.

- Rex….. –said Tom with tears in his eyes walking towards his friend and embracing him.

Rex embraced Tom firmly. He had missed his old friend.

- Tom…. – said Rex but this time he moved his mouth producing sound. – My friend….. – said Rex producing shock and happiness on all the ones around him.

- You look handsome Rex. – said Mandy getting closer.
- Thank you Mandy. – replied Rex turning his head slightly. Others were behind him.

Gatomon stepped out from the light. She was now wearing a golden ring with engraved characters around her tail.

- What do these characters mean? – asked Fred getting closer to Gatomon pointing at Tom's device and Rex's bracelet.

- It's our sacred language. – said Gatomon and she approached Rex's left arm. – "DIGITAL MONSTER". – she spelled out to the crowd.

- What about this? – said Tom pointing at the device.

- It's a symbol of your connection to our world. You are the first appointed ambassador. – explained Gatomon. – as the other digimon in the crowd applauded the humans present there.

- How did Rex get repaired? – asked Fred interrupting the greeting.

- You have to thank the Centurion. – replied Veemon who was behind Gatomon. - He provided the data that made possible to bring our friend back to life and make him one of us.

- Brice would have been very proud Rex. – said Tom taking Rex's paw in his hand.

- I am one of them now Tom. I have been given a new name as well. – said Rex extending his paw to touch one of the buttons on the device. The strange characters changed to English language.

- Welcome back…Nekomon…. – said Tom embracing his friend once again.

- Lord Amster. The visitor you expected has arrived. – said the butler.
- Good. Let him in. – said lord Amster playing minigolf at the backyard of his huge mansion.
- Hello there. Having fun? – said Spencer coming into the yard showing to lord Amster he was holding a mini disk in his hand.
- Good job you did back there. – replied Lord Amster very satisfied.
- Thank you. What now? – asked Spencer.
- I have a new mission for you. – said Amster putting the ball on the tee. - There is a new project in the alps of France about artificial intelligence and we needed that data you smuggled out to start it. You will make contact with my agents in the coordinates written on that postcard. – said Amster pointing at the paper on the beach recliner.
- What's the name of the project?
- It's called Xana. - said Amster swinging the ball from the tee straight to the golf hole.

THE END.
