The police car was speeding towards the station. Miki was driving with Castilla and Floramon in the front seat. Kristy, Biyomon, Lalamon, Gaomon and Yushima squeezed in the back.
Kristy: This is not…very comfortable
Biyomon: Neither is flying with all of you on my back, but what are we gonna do?
Kristy: That's exactly what we would be doing if we didn't want to attract too much attention, so pipe down.
Yushima couldn't help but chuckle
Kristy: What is it?
Yushima: It's just that, you behave just like your brother did! It's incredible. You look exactly like him too!
Kristy blushed
Kristy: really?
Yushima: It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Marcus was a good kid
Miki looked in the rear view mirror
Miki: Yeah if you call disobeying the commander's orders and fighting whoever and whenever he wanted the attributes of a good kid
Lalamon: Yeah, Marcus was a character
Bearmon: an interesting one at that
Yushima: Well I never knew him as well as you guys
Castilla: But I thought you said that you were in charge of the agency that Marcus, Thomas and Yoshi worked for
Yushima: Well yeah, I was in charge of everything but I never worked in the same building as them. Nor was I out running around as much as they were.
Miki: If you don't mind me asking, what do you do now Yushima? Do you work for the police like everyone else now?
Yushima: No way! I'm done with stressing myself. I mean, we break our backs fighting Digimonin the name of DATS, and now they want us to break our backs fighting criminals in the name of the police? I feel like I've already done my duty by helping to save the entire world. Now, my main occupation is fishing for fun.
Kristy: Sounds like you're living the life
Yushima: Well, I never said that I didn't miss working for DATS. I mean, I almost feel jealous for you and, uh, Castilla. Sorry, bad with names. You guys have so much adventure in front of you, and we older members have nothing left to do with ourselves than pass the baton to you
Lalamon: It's true two. You, Matt, Brianna, Luke and Keenan are the ones who were chosen to be the new digidestined, so all we have to do now is to help you when we can.
Miki: We're here.
She stopped the car and ran to the door. She tried to open it but it was locked. She reached in her coat pocket and pulled out a key card. The door opened and she stepped inside.
About three minutes later Kristy was ready to fall asleep. Miki came back and opened the car.
Miki: That was a good waste of my time. No one was there. Come on, they might still be at the police station. Just pray that we don't get attacked by Digimon on the way.
Castilla: Let's hurry!
Miki pulled the car back and sped off.
Another police car pulled in from the other side. Thomas, Yoshi, Sampson and Megumi hopped out. They opened the door and ran to the elevator. The elevator took them all to the lower basement level with the Digital dive. They ran towards it as fast as they could
Megumi: I still don't get what we're trying to do
Yoshi: We already explained it in the car
Commander: I actually didn't quite catch on either. Refresh our memories.
Yoshi: Look, we told Director Hushima that we would be able to solve this problem, and that's exactly what we're gonna do.
Thomas: Now, I have an idea that I'm sure is going to work. I've tested this theory myself to tell you the truth. You know what a portal is right? Simple question.
Yoshi: Duh they know what a portal is. Thomas, you start setting up now, I'll explain it to them
Thomas raised his hands
Thomas: As you wish your majesty…
He turned around and started tweaking with the buttons
Yoshi: Now think of this. We make a portal…in the sky
Commander: What?
Megumi: That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard
Yoshi: You didn't let me finish. Thomas knows how to do this, at least that's what he says. We can use some of the data from our digivices to channel a portal up to the sky. It'll be about a few miles long, enough to suck up every Digimon in Tokyo
Thomas shouted out
Thomas: We're lucky that no Digimon has made it outside of Tokyo, and that everyone's too panicked to make a news broadcast about it, so nobody knows!
Commander: Every Digimon? So we can expect to see Lalamon and Gaomon fly off back into the digital world.
Yoshi: Not as long as they're indoors or inside of a car. The field will only pick up Digimon that are outside
Megumi: I guess…this seems logical. You sure that it will take away all the Digimon?
Thomas: Absolutely positive
Commander: Wait! We can't do this. Just because no one's made a news broadcast about it now doesn't mean that they won't. Not to mention the people in Tokyo that will know. What will they do…
Yoshi: We've covered that. Commander, tell me what we used to do when someone who we didn't want to see a Digimon did see one.
Commander: We wiped their short term memory clean. What's your point?
Yoshi: We were able to do that because the light we had had a particular frequency
Megumi: And if you could emulate that in the sky…
Yoshi: A bright light will flash once the Digimon cleanup is over, and bam! No one in the town remembers a thing. We'll keep our eyes closed and tell everyone that it was a minor earthquake that hit the town. There really isn't that much damage.
Megumi looked at the Commander
Commander: I suppose, it's either this or jail.
Yoshi nodded.
Thomas: It's ready! It's ready!
Yoshi looked on the counter
Yoshi: Oh my goodness. Miki left her keycard here.
Megumi: She must've paid us a visit before we came
Thomas: Try calling her. I'm sure she's with everybody. Tell her what's going on.
---
Miki's phone rang.
Miki: Hello? Yoshi! Wh..where the heck are you guys? At the station, but we were just there! What? Urgent? We're not indoors though, we're in a car. Stay in the car? This makes no sense! You're doing what to the sky? Hello? Hello?
She dropped it.
Miki: Well good news, they're not in jail. Bad news, we apparently need to "hold down" all the Digimon and block our eyes.
Castilla: So they're not in jail
Miki: I guess
Castilla: why are we still speeding?
Miki swerved out of the way. About three cars must've honked at her. She drove onto the grass and stopped.
Miki: good call. Everyone okay?
Everyone in the car was shaking in fear
---
Thomas: It's ready. When I press the button, a digital field will form over the sky, sucking all the Digimon in Tokyo into it. I've designed it so that it won't take anything else but Digimon
Megumi: That was extremely fast
Thomas: It's something that I've researched a lot about, so be thankful that I remember the majority of it. Now all I need is your digivice Yoshi.
Yoshi reached in her coat pocket and handed it to him. Thomas took out his as well. He connected a wire to the two of them.
Thomas: This should just about do it
Thomas typed in some keys on the computer.
Thomas: This isn't going to be very easy…this machine was just designed to send people to the digital world and back, but if I can just reroute the path to go to the human world and back…destination is the sky…terminal destination is back to the digital world…I got it!
Megumi: really?
Thomas: Say goodnight Digimon
He pressed the button
---
Peckmon: Keenan, I don't know how long I can keep this up
Geogreymon: I'm not feeling too hyped up myself, Marcus
Keenan: These Digimon are almost gone. Just hang in there
Marcus: What's taking Matt so long?!?
Matt: a one thousand foot tall Digimon!
Matt ran over to them carry Babydmon
Luke: it's about time, what's the matter with you keeping us here like this?
Keenan: uh Matt. Is that…
Matt: Yeah, we had a pretty hard fight.
Marcus: So now wha…
They turned around. They saw a blinking cloud from a distance. Digimon were starting to fall from there.
Keenan: What is going on?
--
An faint digital aura formed over the sky.
A couple Digimon who were flying were immediately sucked up to the sky
Miki's car was beginning to move on its own
Miki: just hang in there! She said it'll be over soon enough.
Lalamon: I don't feel too good
Gaomon: probably because whatever this thing is is trying to take us along with it
Miki: Yoshi said as long as we stay in the car nothing will happen
Floramon: Let's hope so…
Yushima wasn't paying attention to what they were saying. He had his own thought process going
Yushima: How dare they…
Miki: Everyone! Get ready to shut your eyes!
--
Jodixmon threw the last of the Digimon away from him.
Brianna: A job well done Jodixmon…
Jodixmon suddenly fell down
Danny: What's happening?
Brianna: Jodixmon, what's the matter?
Jodixmon: I…don't know.
Jodixmon looked up and saw the digital cloud. He grabbed both Brianna and Danny and ran over to the nearest house he could find. He broke through the window.
Danny: What on Earth?
Jodixmon: I've seen this kind of thing before… it's a
The house owner crept up and saw them
House owner: Who are you? What are you doing here?!?!? Stay back!
Danny: Look, if you let us explain we can
House owner: AHH!
He ran over to attack them. They ran around his house away from him
--
Commander: How much longer?!?
Thomas: It's almost finished. The digital concentration on the area is decreasing rapidly. The portal's working.
--
More and more Digimon were leaving the ground and being hurled towards the sky. It was like a magnet that attracted all Digimon.
The whole thing took about a minute. Within that time, the last of the Digimon had left. The town was in a giant panic. Until…
Thomas pressed the button. A bright light flashed from the portal.
--
Jodixmon: Look out!
He threw Danny and Brianna on the ground. The House owner was ready to beat them with a metal pipe. Suddenly the light flashed. They guy just stood there. Brianna and Danny got up and looked back at him. Jodixmon sped away.
House Owner: Who are you? What are you doing here?
Danny and Brianna both stared at each other. They were unaware that they had just been milliseconds away from having their memories erased. Luckily when they hit they ground, they naturally closed their eyes. They decided to take advantage of the situation
Danny: uh..You wanna buy some homemade cookies?
--
The digital cloud faded away.
Several minutes later, Thomas shut off the computer sat down.
Megumi: It looks like Thomas just saved the day!
Yoshi: Did it actually work?
Miki: You bet it did!
Miki, Lalamon, Gaomon, Kristy, Castilla, Floramon and Biyomon had just arrived.
Yoshi: Lalamon!
Thomas: Gaomon!
Gaomon: I don't know what you did, sir, but whatever it was it worked. The Digimon are all gone and the humans have no clue about what just happened. At least…as far as we could tell.
Thomas: Well that's good to hear
Miki: You know, Mr. Yushima was with us earlier, but he said he had to leave
Commander: Really? So he didn't ignore my call.
Megumi: We still need to contact the others and tell them that they can come back now.
Miki: I'll take care of that. Yoshi, you need to take Kristy and Castilla back home.
Megumi: I'll take you back too Thomas
Thomas: I've had enough of cop cars for one day.
--
Keenan's digivice beeped. He read what was on it.
Keenan: Yoshi said that it's safe to come back now
Matt: Like we were waiting for her to tell us.
They were already in front of the portal. Bearmon set down the digieggs in front of it.
Bearmon: Even if you don't remember me when you guys hatch again…just know that I'll always be here to protect you
Luke: So the Digimon are gone?
Keenan: It appears that way.
Falcomon: Then what are we waiting for, let's get go!
Marcus: Alright guys, Agumon and I will catch up with you later
He turned around to leave
Keenan: Wait Marcus!
Marcus: yeah?
Keenan: Well…why don't you come back with us
Marcus laughed
Marcus: Keenan, we've already been through this. I can't go back.
Keenan: But why not?
Marcus: Well, it's because…
Matt: Seriously, what's the big deal in going to Earth for a little bit and coming back to this place if you really want to?
Marcus: The big deal is that I still have work to do here! Plus, I'm…I'm not welcome there. Not anymore.
Marcus turned around to leave again. Matt could easily detect a hint of sadness in his face
Agumon: Come on boss! Don't say that.
Keenan: You know that's not true, your family and friends really miss you. Imagine what everyone would think seeing you again.
Marcus: Forget it. I can't go back.
Matt: Not even for one day?
Marcus: It'll be one day too long. I'm sorry.
Keenan: But it'll be fun seeing everyone again! And you know…Thomas has glasses now.
This caught his attention
Marcus: He what?
Keenan: Yeah, they're wire framed glasses
Marcus: Thomas? You can't be serious! He was enough of a dork before, and now he has glasses?!?
Keenan shrugged
Keenan: You won't be able to make fun of him for them if you don't go back
Agumon: Let's do it boss! If we go then we can have another round of your mom's fried eggs!
Marcus smiled
Marcus: for one day.
Keenan: only one day.
Marcus adjusted his necklace and smiled
Marcus: Well, what are we waiting for? The sooner I get there, the sooner I can leave.
Keenan: That's the spirit. Well…kinda
Keenan, Lucas and Matt pointed their digivices at the portal

Ogremon punched the wall. Rocks flew away.
Exogrimmon stepped up behind him. Ogremon looked straight ahead.
Ogremon: I know you're disappointed. I just got the news also.
Exogrimmon: It's not the failed attack that worries me. It's those kids. Specifically that boy and Dracomon. If they managed to defeat Kimeramon, there's no telling how much of a threat they can become if given the time to do so.
Ogremon turned around
Ogremon: That's why we can't give them any time. There just kids for crying out loud, there has to be a way to defeat them.
He smashed both his fists against the wall
Ogremon: At least we did something right. Demidevimon is dead.
Exogrimmon: He was just a thorn in our side anyway. But I believe that we've had an even greater victory.
Ogremon turned his head
Ogremon: How can we possibly have had a victory out of what just happened?
Exogrimmon: Those fools think that just because they drove us out of their world, they've won. But we've got bigger and nastier tricks up our sleeves
Ogremon: What else can we do?!? We failed at our major objective which was to attack the human world
Exogrimmon: Trust me Ogremon. This is far from over.
He turned around and walked away. Ogremon looked back down
--
Kristy and Biyomon were sitting at the kitchen table. Yoshi was standing by the door.
Mrs. Damon: Yoshino, thank you so much for bringing Kristy back
Yoshi: Bringing her back was all I did. She's been running around all day fighting off Digimon. She deserves a good meal.
Kristy: I'm really not that hungry though
Biyomon: I am
Mrs. Damon: Yoshi, are you sure you don't want to join us for dinner?
Yoshi: Nah, I really should get back to the station.
Mr. Damon put a novel back on the shelf
Mr. Damon: Well just know that you're welcome here anytime Yoshi.
Yoshi: Thanks, I'll make sure to…
The doorknob started turning. Everyone stopped and stared at it. Within seconds it flew open. Nobody was expecting to see who was on the other side. Everyone looked completely surprised.
Mrs. Damon: Ma…Marcus…
Yoshi: No way!
Mr. Damon: And Agumon…
Marcus half smiled and removed his necklace
Marcus: I'm home
A still screen showed
--
It was dark in the Commander's office. There was a television playing with the volume on low. The commander himself was the only one in the building. He was pacing back and forth, talking on his phone. Hushima was on the line.
Hushima: I'm glad to see that you guys handled the situation quite nicely
Commander: We were only following your orders.
Hushima: Well because of you, all the Digimon are gone and no one has a clue of what happened.
The commander focused on the TV. The channel was on the news.
News Reporter: No one in town is aware of the cause of all the damage, but the town police claim to have received confidential information from scientists that we had suffered the beginning of a very minor earthquake. Reconstruction is already underway and…
Commander: Well that's a good thing
Hushima: Looks like you've dodged a bullet Sampson. You don't go to jail. Look, I'd love to stay and chat but I have work that needs to be done. Goodbye commander.
The phone turned off. The commander shut his phone and placed it in his pocket. The lights suddenly switched on. The commander quickly reached for a weapon in his desk, but he stopped when he saw who it was. He half smiled when he saw who.
Commander: Yushima. I heard that you took care of some of our brave little fighters.
Yushima: Well, I had no other choice but to help them out. But I didn't come here to chat about me. I came here to ask you a question.
Commander: Fire away
Yushima stepped up close to the commander
Yushima: What were you thinking?
The commander didn't fully understand the question
Commander: I don't know what you're talking about.
Yushima: When you flashed that beam and made everyone forget what they saw, did you realize that you were literally messing with people's minds? Now a whole town is confused because you decided that it was okay to mess with all of Tokyo just to get yourself out of a little bit of jail time.
Commander: What's your problem? I just saved this whole town from sure destruction. And I don't want the idea of Digimon to become another problem. Trust me, they don't want to know about Digimon.
Yushima: So you decided that for them. Maybe it's better for everyone to know about Digimon so that you don't have to hide yourself like his every day.
Commander: We did what we had to. That's all that matters.
Yushima: You're lucky that I'm not longer in a position to take your job from you, because if I still was, I would.
He turned around and walked away. He stopped halfway and turned around.
Yushima: You think that the fact that you know more about Digimon than the civilians do gives you the right to play God in their lives. I no longer have any respect for you Commander. That's all I can take from you now.
He walked away. The commander looked forward

AGH! Finally it's done! Yeah sorry this one's pretty long again. "mid (more like quarter) season premiere", what do you expect?
The next episode is one that I've been anticipating ever since I started this series. It's gonna be a more lighthearted one. Can't wait to do it!
