At a fishing bay in Kanagawa, two nights later, at about 23:15. two men were riding on a fishing boat carrying a huge net and had just thrown them into the sea in hopes of catching a swarm of fishes so that by morning they could sell them at their nearby market. Despite the recent troubles, business was still thriving, and they hope that they'll earn an extra income within this month.
"Hope there aren't any Digimons straying here…since the past few months they're nothing but trouble.", said the first fisherman.
"Hah, then check out what happened at the two Chinatowns. A meat dealer was chopped to death by that Squidmon who poisoned more shoppers, while the centipede-Digimon killed dozens more. What else do you expect?", replied the second fisherman.
"Hey! I got a pull! Looks like a big one. Pull!" said the third fisherman. And they all pulled with all of their might, and managed to pull it towards them but they were unable to pull enough to reveal their catch. They assumed that it was a huge school of fish.
"Whoa! Must be a big haul! Looks like we'll be earning some extra yen!" said the first fisherman. Then, another fishing boat carrying three more fishermen passed by and saw what was going on.
"Hey! You need a hand?" asked the fourth fisherman.
"Yeah…looks like a big one. If you help us, we might consider letting you help us sell this school…and together we can…" said the third fisherman, but then the contents of the net revealed itself, and it was the Shell Clow Beast! The Clow Beast ripped the net and grabbed the two fishermen and impaled them with his spinning sharp-edged "shell head", pumping a hole on their stomachs until their bodies were split into two. The second fisherman jumped to the waters and swam away but the Shell Clow Beast grabbed him and did the same thing. The three other fishermen took out their rifles and open fire, but the bullets had no effect, and the Clow Beast fired his "Shell Missiles" and the missiles exploded upon impact, killing the three remaining fishermen and destroying the boat. The monster then swam away when a nearby coast guard ship heard the explosion.

Episode 35: F-4 no Taiketsu
The next morning, at the Renjou residence, Kyo was eating his breakfast when the radio made a newsflash about an incident at the Kanagawa port where six bodies were found floating and are ripped into shreds and that their boats were smashed to pieces. As Kyo stood up, he opened the TV and tuned in to the news. There he got a visual of the news and slowly turned away.
"At least my stomach isn't weak. Sure I can withstand the crocodiles eating their meals on Discovery Channel…but this…". He immediately left his meal and went to the " Bat Cave", and opened his computer. There he got a fix on where the incident in Kanagawa is.
"A port…and the news said it happened around nightfall…hence that Clow Beast…or whatever it's called…has moved to another location by now…". He turned off the computer and left the Bat Cave, and prepared his things as he sets off to DDS. He sent text messages to his Class R compatriots and informed them of what he found out.
At B.O.A.R.D. HQ, the scientist came to Tennoji and Isaka and informed them about the incident at Kanagawa port, and both realized that this is the work of the Shell Clow Beast that escaped a few weeks ago.
"This is perhaps our only shot in capturing it. Mr. Domyouji…go find that Clow Beast and seal it at once. Kill anyone who gets in your way.". "Yes, master." Tsukasa replied and boarded onto the Blue Spader and sped off. Isaka opened the computer to view the cards that they have as of now.
Category Spades:
A: Change Beetle
2: Slash Lizard
5: Kick Locust
6: Thunder Deer
9: Mach Jaguar
Category Diamonds:
A: Change Stag
2: Bullet Armadillo
3: Upper Frog
5: Drop Whale
6: Fire Fly
8: Scope Bat
9: Gemini Zebra
Category Clubs:
K: Evolution Paradoxa
Category Clubs:
6: Blizzard Polar
7: Gel Jellyfish
9: Smog Squid
10: Remote Tapir
"In just a matter of time, the Suit Of Clubs will become a reality…and with the Category Ace at our side, our army will become unstoppable." Isaka hissed. Tennoji approached Isaka and told him his concern.
"Isaka...we still have a few problems regarding this. The Heart cards are still missing, and that Category King...he killed our third specimen who'd...". "A small loss, but at least his death won't put our plans in jeopardy. We should start immediately in creating the 4th suit.".
At Eitoku Academy, Tsukushi went to her locker to get her things in preparation to her next class. She had to ignore the taunting of her fellow schoolmates as even though she was cleared of any wrong doing, they still branded her as a suspect in the F-4's disappearance (excluding Akira Mimasaka, who is still in Baarcelona, Spain). She went to her classroom to prepare for the rest of the subjects.
At DDS, Kyo attended lessons in class along with Class R. He was till preoccupied on how to save Kyuu and Ryu, as well as learning abut what happened to Class C and S. He wished that classes would end so that he could leave and look for them.
And several hours later, he left DDS as dismissal time came, and boarded the Side Basher and went on patrol. His trip took him to Osaka, and saw someone familiar: Tsukasa Domyouji riding a blue-colored motorcycle. He realized that he is after something. "Looks to me he's after a Digimon. I bet Kyuu and Ryu are there as well...". He immediately followed the F-4 member as the chase leads him to a remote area in Naoshima.
Unknown to the two, Tsukushi Makino is also there, as she was instructed by her biology teacher to get a few plant samples. Her search leads her to a nearby lake, and as she was about to get another plant sample, the Shell Clow Beast emerged and is going after Tsukushi.
"EEKK! Get away from me!" she screamed, as she ran off to get away. But as she continues to run off, she tripped and fell to the ground. As the Shell Clow Beast closes in, Tsukasa came barging in and rammed the monster. The female student was a bit thrilled bit also nervous as she saw her boyfriend again, but after learning about what happened to the F-4, she wasn't sure how to reach him. As the clow Beast got up, Tsukasa took out a card, which is the Thunder Deer ( 6) card and swiped it onto the side of the Blue Spader, and a voice emanated from the motorcycle's speaker.
"THUNDER".
An electrical energy appeared and hit the Clow Beast, sending him towards the lake, and continued to electrocute him until it fell down. The F-4 member took out a blank card and threw it against the fallen monster and was sealed, which flew to his hands. Tsukasa looked at it and was disappointed as he saw what the card looks like: A tarot card with the Shell Clow Beast's picture in the center, and the sides have the marking of 5, and the name of the card says "DRILL SHELL".
"A Heart card...a waste of time...but Master Isaka demanded it, so...". "Tsukasa! Where have you been?? I've been worried about you! Why are you doing this??", Tsukushi hugged him from behind and tried to reach his mind and heart through her voice, but it wasn't enough. Tsukasa grabbed her by her neck and said,
"I don't know you...but you're a friend of the F-4. Good. Now tell me...where are Rui Hanazawa and Akira Mimasaka?? Tell me now or I kill you!". Tsukushi was slowly fading as the choking increased but someone appeared to break things up.
"Release her at once. Face me instead.". Tsukasa and Tsukushi turned around, and were surprised to see who just spoke. It was Rui Hanazawa, and he was seriously looking at them. Behind a bush, Kyo was also surprised, seeing that Rui is there and is alive and well, and from the way he is speaking, it seems that he hasn't fallen under the enemy's influence.
"Thank goodness for that...but what can he do? He'll only ended up getting beaten. Looks like I'd better cut in..." the younger Renjou thought, as the two F-4 members are ready to collide.

Hitori de wa, tooi ashita wo
