Impmon looked left and right. With all those bad guys around, he doubted that he could win, even if he managed to digivolve to Beelzemon. His hopes were even further crushed when out of the skies, another pair of grey-colored, humanoid Hybrids dropped: BioBirdramon and BioKabuterimon!
"All right..." Impmon finally grumbled. "You win... let Mako and Ai go, and I'll give you that stupid sin data."
"Ah ah ah!" Barbamon sneered and wagged his finger. "I don't think so. Why don't we do it this way: You allow me to extract your sin data and afterwards, we may just talk about your little friend."
Impmon snarled, but he realized that there was no way he could outsmart Barbamon now, not while BioGarurumon had Mako in his grasp. "Fine..." he muttered.
Barbamon smiled and floated down to the ground. Then, he slowly approached Impmon, always keeping a careful eye on him. He never even glanced at Kei, however.
He held out the Virus Circlet, three of its crystals now glowing ominously. "Touch it," he simply said.
Impmon stepped closer and raised his hand, but he hesitated. He looked up at Ai, and the angel gave him an encouraging smile. "Just do it, Impmon! When this is over, everything is gonna be all right."
Impmon took a deep breath and finally touched the Virus Circlet. He felt as if something was being sucked out of his soul, his core data, but he didn't feel empty afterwards. On the contrary: He felt as if something was lifted off his shoulders.
At least, now the data of Envy could never corrupt him again. Now he hoped that Barbamon would stick to his end of the bargain.
Barbamon held the Virus Circlet up in front of his face and grinned. The four glowing crystals reflected his sinister face. "Yeeeesss..." he muttered. "One step closer to ressurecting the Seven Great Demon Lords..."
"You've got your stupid sin data!" Impmon shouted. "Now release Ai and Mako."
Barbamon sneered down at him and gave the canine Hybrid behind him a commanding gesture. "BioGarurumon..."
The armored wolf grunted and simply threw Mako up into the air. The little TinyDevimon spread his wings with a gasp and quickly fluttered over to Impmon, where he sobbed into his shoulder.
Impmon patted his back. "It's all right, kid," he murmured. "You're safe now. Okay, now give Ai back as well!"
Barbamon snickered as he looked up at the female angel. "I would... that is, if she still wants to stay here. What do you say, Ai?"
Ai smiled down at Impmon and her brother. "I'm sorry, Impmon, but... I promised them to come along with them."
"Wh-wh-WHAT??" Impmon yelled. "You CAN'T be serious!! You want to go with them, AGAIN? Do you remember how they lied to you? How they pretended to be your friends?"
"Please, Ai, don't go with them..." Mako sniffled. "They're bad guys..."
"I know," Ai said sadly. "But I had to say yes. They would have hurt you, Mommy and Daddy. They promised they would leave you alone when I come with them..."
"I don't believe this!" Impmon screeched. "You don't have to keep that promise. Mako is safe, now what stops you from just ditching those creeps?"
"I made a promise," Ai explained in her calm voice. "I am an Angel Digimon now, Impmon... we are not allowed to lie."
"But... but Ai..." Mako whimpered. "If you go with them now, then... then you..." Even though he was normally the mischievous one of the twins, he was afraid that she would become one of the most evil creatures on Earth.
"Don't worry," Ai smiled. "I would never hurt anyone of you... never!"
"How touching!" Barbamon mocked. "If you are finished with saying your goodbyes, can we finally leave?"
"Just one moment, Barbamon!" Kei spoke up. Everyone looked at her in surprise. They nearly forgot that the young Palmon girl was still there as well.
Ever since BioCalumon had appeared, he and Kei had been staring into each other's eyes, Kei with a hateful glare, the Calumon copy with a devious grin. Even now, when she was speaking to Barbamon, Kei was still staring at the creature she had learned to loathe.
"So, now you have collected the sin data of four fellow Demon Lords, right?" Kei asked. "And with your own and that from Ai, it makes six. Congratulations! But you still don't know where the last, the final sin data is hidden, do you?"
"How do you know of that, girl?" Barbamon snapped. "Who are you?"
"Why, didn't your new pal BioCalumon tell you?" Kei asked. "No, I doubt he would. I know everything about you and your plans. Did he also tell you what he would do to you after he doesn't need you anymore?"
"You dirty little pest!" BioCalumon snarled. "I'll turn you into a microbe when I'm done with you..."
Barbamon was irritated. Truth was, he didn't really know too much about BioCalumon. He didn't know where he came from, where he got his powers and how he managed to split the MCT into multiple, small devices that could be used on the kids... and that still wouldn't explain why they turned into these unnatural forms after digivolving.
Still, right now, he was the only ally he had, and he couldn't let a little Palmon ruin his plans by confusing him. Which didn't mean that he would have to take a closer look at BioCalumon's origins... but that could wait.
"You'll have to excuse me that I don't tear my accomplice into pieces just because of your statement, Rookie!" Barbamon said coldly. "I don't know where you got all these informations, but I don't care. You are right, I have what I want, and I don't need to listen to your useless banter."
"Oh, even if I might know the whereabouts of the last sin data?" Kei asked casually.
Barbamon narrowed his eyes. "What...?"
"Don't listen to her!" BioCalumon hissed. "That's a trick!"
"Silence!" Barbamon commanded. His eyes never left the little Palmon in front of him. "You certainly are unusual for a Palmon... say, have we met before?"
"No, and that's not important now," Kei said. "Still, I know you are interested to learn the current location of Riley, the current holder of the Lust data, correct?"
"You really did your homework, girl, didn't you?" Barbamon asked. He raised his staff and pointed it at her. "How about this: You tell me where she is and I don't blast you into pieces!"
"Simple!" Kei said with a grin. "You made the same mistake every big, evil villain in most RPGs is making."
"And that would be?" Barbamon asked, not even knowing what an RPG was.
"You're talking too much!" Kei shouted. "NOW, ALICE!"
And out of nowhere, a sleek silhouette came flying out of the skies. It was a female humanoid with a canine head, full body armor and two gloves with metal claws. In her hands, she was holding a strange device that almost looked like a cross between a drill and a whisk.
"Game over, buddy!" MirageGaogamon smirked as she pressed a button. Instantly, strange, reddish energy waves came shooting forth from the device she was holding, hitting Barbamon, BioCalumon and their minions.
All of a sudden, the tiny devices that had previously been the MCT, clattered to the floor, and the Hybrid Champions shrunk down to their In-Training forms.
"What happened?" a tiny Koromon asked in confusion. "Where am I?"
"I'm scared!" the Yokomon next to him whimpered. "I want my Mommy!"
"Hey, BioCalumon lied to us!" Motimon yelled. "There are no video games for us, right?"
"How... how did they do that?" Barbamon thundered. "BioCalumon! You assured me your control over them could never be broken!"
"Th-that's what I thought!" BioCalumon stuttered while Barbamon grabbed him and shook him around. "I d-don't understand, the creator of that device made sure that nobody but him could negate its effects while it's activated... wait a minute..." He stared up at the flying female and his eyes went wide. "She..." he murmured.
"Interesting what you can find in grandpa's laboratory if you wait until the first chapter of the game is over, right?" Alice grinned as she twirled around the weird gun she was holding. "Now Kei, get the kiddos out of there!"
"Right away!" Kei replied. "Poison Ivy!" Before Barbamon and BioCalumon could react, she extended her vines and pulled them to safety.
"You scoundrels!" Barbamon yelled. "You won't get away with this... come on, you fool!" He grabbed BioCalumon and vanished in a twirl of fire and darkness.
"Drats, he got away..." Alice murmured as she landed next to Kei. "Oh well, at least we managed to save the kids... are you okay, darlings?"
"Y-yeah..." Tsunomon murmured. "But I'm hungry..."
"I really don't know what just happened, or what you did, but I'm glad you showed up," Impmon said to Alice. "Without you, they would have taken Ai..."
"Ai is gone..." Mako whispered.
Impmon froze. He looked up into the sky, but could not find any trace of his female Tamer. "What...?"
"She vanished in a shiny light, right after the bad guys disappeared," Mako sadly murmured. He sniffed. "Impmon... what if she never comes back..."
"Those bastards!" Impmon snarled. "If they lay a hand on her..."
"I believe she made her own decision, Impmon," Kei said quietly. She turned to Alice. "Thanks for coming so quickly. I'm really surprised you believed everything I told you."
"Hey, if you're the Game Master, there's no reason I shouldn't believe you," Alice smirked as she de-digivolved into her Gaomon form. "So, where's that game's main program you told me about?"
"I managed to track it down," Kei said. "And I know where in which computer it is." She knelt down next to Mako. "Mako... could you please ask your parents if we could use their computer?"
----
d'Arcmon crossed her arms. "So... you expect me to stay patient after everything that just happened? That my baby has been kidnapped yet AGAIN, that she's the living incarnation of Pride? That everything that's happening is supposed to be the result of a GAME?"
Kei just shrugged. "Well, it's the truth."
Impmon grimaced. "I've heard many things, but you really haveta admit that everything you say sounds a bit crazy, kid."
They were sitting together in the living room of the twins' parents, and Impmon, Mako, Phascomon and d'Arcmon were listening to Kei's tale while her husband was repairing the front door.
Alice had insisted to come along, but she agreed that it was more important to bring the other kids back home. After all, neither of them was able to remember anything they had done after BioCalumon's control over them had worn off.
Kei spread the remains of the tiny MCTs across the table. "See, this is all that's left of the device they used to control the children. I don't really know how Bio did it, but he managed to change their digivolution as well as make them act as he wants to. If I didn't know better, my guess would be that he's getting his powers back... but I'm getting ahead of myself. What's important now is that you have to trust me, all of you!"
d'Arcmon huffed. "Excuse me, dear, but you are just a child, like them. Who says they haven't brainwashed you as well? And a few fragments of high-tech junk don't convince me to believe you."
"If you came here searching for that main program you mentioned, how could your friend back outside know that they'd use that gadget, and even have a counter-gadget for it?" Impmon asked.
d'Arcmon might be upset at the little imp for failing to protect his female Tamer/her daughter once again, but this time, she felt that taking his side would be better, so she nodded. "Yes, I'd like to know that as well."
"To be honest, I didn't know," Kei sighed. "But after what that machine did to poor Phascomon here..." She gestured at the Rookie who was sitting next to her. "I couldn't let something similar happen again, so I made the RPG Maker create a counter-device, logically invented by the same man who created the MCT itself. Meeting up with Alice was just a coincidence... I still don't know where she came from, she just told me that we had to hurry to save someone, so I followed her, even though we never met before. Still, I felt that I could trust her."
"Just like that?" Impmon wondered. "I must say, I'm impressed by your naiveté, girl..."
"She's a mercenery," d'Arcmon shouted. "A criminal, even... she worked together with that villain Yamacus! Why should we trust her?"
"I already told you..." Kei groaned. "What Yamaki did was just because of that game... he couldn't help himself. If anything, you should be angry at me... I was the one who came up with all these things..."
"What nonsense!" the angel woman grumbled.
"M-mom..." Mako stuttered. "I don't know why, but... I believe her."
"Yeah, me too," Phascomon nodded.
Kei smiled, even though she knew it would be harder to convince Mako's mother. And if she couldn't do that, she couldn't use the RPG Maker that was on her husband's computer...
Just then, her husband entered the room, accompanied by Alice, who was back in her human form. "The door's fixed," he said. "Your friend here arrived while I was busy and she insisted on helping me."
"It was no problem at all," Alice smiled.
d'Arcmon glared at her. "You... you dare show your face after all you and your group of mercenaries have done? You've got some nerve..."
"Excuse me, but I don't think that's the way you should talk to the daughter of your Sovereign," Alice stated in a cool voice. "For your information, I am here on my parents' behalf."
"Your parents..." d'Arcmon grumbled. She didn't say it aloud, but in her eyes, the Hybrid was no more a child of her Sovereign than Impmon and Kei were. She may be adopted, but she still felt that Azulongmon should have abandoned her...
"But wait a minute..." Kei murmured. "How could Azulongmon have sent you? last thing I knew was that you accompanied Yamaki and his girls to... to... well, wherever they are now..."
"Well, that's true," Alice nodded. "After delivering the MCT to Mr. Wong, Kouki, Ivan and I decided to follow Yamaki and my sisters. They are fine, but they prefer to stay in hidden for now."
"I can imagine that," Impmon huffed. "Half of Japan is probably looking for them..."
"Well, as long as they don't find them..." Alice smirked. "Still, our Dad somehow managed to find out where we were heading, and he contacted us... or me, rather. He told me everything about that game and asked me to help Kei. He also advised me to make a stop at grampa's lab to fetch the CHT..." She patted her hip, where the device she used to free the corrupted children was hanging from her belt.
"CHT?" Mako scratched his head. "What's that?"
Alice grinned. "Why, the Clear Head Thingy, of course!"
"Of course..." Impmon grumbled. "Dang, now I don't know which one of these two girlies is more nuts..."
"Is there ANY good reason why I should believe you two?" d'Arcmon asked bitterly. "My baby's gone, and your dangerous tools might just be the reason."
"Honey..." her husband sighed.
Alice looked at the Angel Digimon for a while, then she pulled out a white envelope. It was so white, it was almost painful for their eyes. A pair of angelic wings was on it.
d'Arcmon froze. "Th-that's the angelic emblem..." She looked at Alice. "Did your... did Azulongmon give you this?"
"No," Alice replied sternly. "My mother did. And she asked me to tell you, she's not too happy with the way you're acting towards Impmon and Phascomon."
d'Arcmon winced. A direct message from Azulongmon couldn't have been worse than this... Magnadramon was her supreme supervisor in the angelic ranks of the Digital World, even though she was not just an Angel Digimon, but a Holy Beast... Still, hearing Magnadramon's message from her adoptive daughter was like a slap in the face for the angelic soldier.
"Very well..." she finally sighed. "I believe you... you may use our computer, Kei."
'YES!' Kei cheered inwardly, although she was surprised. She almost forgot that she and the game's 'main characters' weren't the only ones that knew about the RPG Maker's powers. It was always nice to have a powerful ally like the Digimon Sovereigns.
"So..." Kei finally spoke up. She was a bit uncomfortable, which was no surprise. It was one thing to hear about persons you never met before in your life, or writing about them at the computer... but actually meeting them was definitely something else.
Alice smiled. "Don't worry, I made sure the kids got home safely. Without the MCT, I doubt they will try to use them again. And even if they somehow manage to remake it, there's no reason for them to use the same children again. After all, I doubt they will trust them after what happened."
"And what about me?" Phascomon asked meekly. "Will they still be after me?"
"I doubt it," Kei replied. "They were only after your sin data, remember? Barbamon decided not to rely on his old allies anymore. Did you see those glowing crystals on the circlet he was carrying? I think that means that he already absorbed the sin data from his old companions."
"Betamon and DemiDevimon," d'Arcmon shouted with surprise. "Of course! In the news, they said that a stranger in a trenchcoat had paid them a visit and left them in a very weak state... as if something was drained from them."
"But... I didn't feel the same when he drained the sin data from my body," Impmon pointed out.
"That's because you already accepted Beelzemon as part of yourself," Alice told him. "Not the evil Beelzemon, but the new, salvaged Beelzemon, created by the love of your Tamers." She winked when Impmon looked at her in bewilderment. "Don't be so surprised, my parents told me the whole story."
"It was because of Mako's present..." Impmon murmured, recalling the day when Mako gave him his toy gun. "And Ai's..." He blushed a bit when he remembered his female tamer's kiss on the cheek.
"That's right," Alice nodded. "But Betamon and DemiDevimon never wanted to be like you. They accepted the evil within their sin data, turning them intro true Demon Lords... until Barbamon took it from them. By that time, the sin data had already merged with their core programs, their souls, leaving them in a weak state..."
"And I... have already accepted that I don't want to be evil," Phascomon spoke up.
Mako grinned. "I can always give you something as well, Phascomon! I have more toy guns like that!"
"Mako, what did I tell you about toy weapons?" his mother frowned, but Phascomon smiled. "That would be... great, thanks, Mako!"
"Um, I don't want to sound rude, but... I really should get back to the RPG Maker," Kei said. "My friends might be in trouble and I wouldn't even know it..."
"Yes, of course!" d'Arcmon's husband nodded. "Here, it's this way..." And he showed the young Palmon the way to his office, where the computer was standing.
Alice looked after them. "Well, I hope it won't blow up this time..." she murmured, then she turned to leave.
"Hey!" Impmon shouted. "Where do you think you're going in such a hurry?"
"My mission's not over yet," Alice explained. "Helping Kei was just one part of it. There's still someone else I need to pay a visit..."
"But... but what about Ai?" Impmon asked. "We need to find her... save her... won't you help me?"
"I'm sorry, Impmon," Alice sighed. "Even if I had the time, I couldn't do it."
"But why not?" Mako asked in a disappointed voice.
Alice walked over to him and took his hand. "Because I promised my Mom not to do it. Now don't worry, she'll be fine. Mom said that she made the decision because she knows they would never harm her. She is just to important for Barbamon's plans."
"But... but couldn't he just absorb her data and find another host for Pride?" d'Arcmon wondered.
Alice shook her head. "No, that's not possible anymore. Lucemon's spirit has merged too much with her soul, even more than Betamon and DemiDevimon have merged with their respective Demon Lord selves."
"But... but..." d'Arcmon was horror-stricken. "But does that mean there is no hope for my poor baby left? That she will become a Demon Lord, no matter what? Please tell me it isn't true..."
"Well, her situation is special..." Alice tried to explain. "Pride may be one of the Seven Sins... but... Lucemon was a Fallen Angel. Only after reaching the Ultimate level did he become one of the Seven Demon Lords. As long as Ai holds on to the light within her own heart, she won't succumb to evil. The sin data of Pride is linked tightly with Lucemon's soul, so we can't remove it anymore... but just look at you, Impmon! You were able to live with your sin data without actually succumbing to it, weren't you?"
"But... there's still the danger that they might... might trick her again..." Impmon muttered uncertainly.
"Maybe," Alice said. "But do you honestly believe Ai would fall for the same trick twice? You must believe in her, Impmon! She's your Tamer, after all."
"Yeah," Mako nodded. "I believe in sis. She can do it. She always was more stubborn than me." He chuckled.
"I really wish I had the same strength as you children..." d'Arcmon murmured. "Please excuse me, I need to think..." And she too, stood up and left the room.
"Well then, I have to go as well," Alice said. "Please make sure that Kei and the RPG Maker will stay safe, Impmon."
"No problem," Impmon smirked.
"Where are you going now?" Phascomon asked.
"Well, my Dad told me to visit others... others that have to learn about what's going on... and to learn to work with each other."
'Oh yes,' she thought after she had left the house. 'They really need to learn that. Their children can do it... so they have to pull themselves together as well.'
She knew there would be no trouble with Compsomon, Sheperdmon and Leomon... but she was far more worried about Taomon and Mr. Wong. If those two couldn't put their differences aside, they could never help their children. Also, they shouldn't just leave everything to Takato and the others just because they saved the world once.
After all, they were busy with another villain right now, and that one could be almost as dangerous as BioCalumon...
----
"You know Kei?" Yoko asked in a surprised voice.
"Now calm down, honey!" KingFlymon said in a calm voice. "There are many girls with the name of Kei... I'm sure they mean someone else..."
"I don't think so..." Kitsunemon sighed. "Not after she told me that her parents were from Okinawa..."
"What do you mean?" Yoko asked in confusion.
The multi-tailed vixen shook her head. "Never mind... listen, we know Kei, and I really think it might be your daughter. She's a young Palmon girl, and her babysitter is one of my friends..."
"REALLY?" Yoko shouted. Kitsunemon plopped down on her behind in surprise when the QueenBeemon came buzzing at her all of a sudden. "How is she doing? Has she made many friends? Oh, this is so exciting..."
"P-please calm down for a moment... Your Majesty!" Kitsunemon muttered.
"Please, call me Yoko," QueenBeemon said while taking a step backwards. "And I'm sorry... I shouldn't have startled you like this."
"Eh, that's okay. Well, Kei still goes to kindergarten, she has a friend called Eiko, she and her Mom... I mean, Miss Asaji... are doing fine. Oh, and there's something else..."
"What?" Yoko asked. "Please, tell me everything!"
"So she really is our daughter?" KingFlymon smiled. "These are joyous news indeed."
"Rika, I'm not sure if we should tell them..." Ryo whispered.
"No, they... they deserve the truth," Rika said. "I know the situation Kei is in. Her family's not the only one that got changed." She took a deep breath. "Your daughter Kei, she... actuallyshe'sreallyyoursonKaiandyou'renotreallyDigimonbecausearealitychangingcomputergametransformedyouintoDigimon!" she blurted out.
"Bwaaaah...?" Yoko muttered. "Run that by me again?"
"Calm down, Rika!" Brawlmon told her four-legged sister as she stepped forwards. "Yoko, you better sit down... this will take some time."
----
Some time later…
"A... reality changing game?" Yoko murmured. "Can that be true?"
"You... want to tell me that we've been human once?" KingFlymon asked. He was so surprised, he didn't even budge.
"See, I told you it was a bad idea to tell them," Ryo sighed. "Now they think we're crazy..."
"No... no, not at all!" Yoko protested. "Actually, I'm rather surprised... because... because that's what I always believed as well."
"Yes," the king nodded. "Me, too."
"Come again?" Kitsunemon gasped. "You can't be serious!"
"But it's true," Yoko sighed. "The past few days, I had the feeling as if... as if everything here on our island, was a false truth. I couldn't quite grasp why I felt that way, or what the truth was supposed to be, but..." She ran her hand across one of her wings. "This body... it somehow felt... wrong."
"Even more so did my body," KingFlymon nodded. "Don't get me wrong, I like this body, and I like being king, but... something is telling me that this is not how things are supposed to be. And if Kei... Kai... really is our son in that other reality... and he kept his memories even after that 'change'... he must be feeling really lonely."
"Is there... any way to change things back?" Yoko asked. "The way they were before?"
"I... don't think so," Kitsunemon finally said. "We've tried many things, but the RPG Maker doesn't allow just any sort of change. Changes that have been made can't just be revoked like that. Add the difficulty that only Kei and Eiko can use the game, and there's not much we can do about this. We're trying our best to fight those enemies that have appeared because of the game."
"Just like Millenniummon..." Ryo murmured.
"But... but that's horrible!" Yoko gasped. "My baby... no, my son... being trapped not only as a different species, but also a different gender AND at a different age?"
"To tell you the truth, those changes don't seem to bother her as much anymore," Kitsunemon told the two distraught parents. "But she's very sad because she believes her parents have forgotten her..."
"You talk about him... her... as if she had always been a girl," KingFlymon frowned. "Aren't you making the situation even worse for him?"
"Not really," Brawlmon said. "Kei told us that we should call her by her new name, since that's pretty much what everyone else knows her by. And as Rika told you, she seems to start feeling content in her new role."
"All those false memories..." the queen sighed. "And none of them are true..."
"They are true... regarding this new reality," Kitsunemon explained. "You must remember, everyone else remembers all those events happening... and so do you. And think about it, the program can't change everything just like that... you still are her parents in this new reality, aren't you?"
"That's... that's true!" Yoko said in surprise. She then smiled. "And now that we know all of this is just a farce, we can see her every time we want."
"Honey... I don't think this is a farce," her husband spoke up in a very thoughtful voice. "Don't you remember all those years in which we built up this hive? The years we used to guide our people, the sacrifices we had to make in the battle against the Green Syndicate? It might be that all of this happened because of this unbelievable piece of technology, but... it actually happened! And I am not ready to give all of this up either. It's true, it will be a relief for both us and Kei that we can see her again... but we should try to accept everything else as well. We don't really remember this old reality the children are talking about. We know nothing about those humans we've once been. Instead of trying to be someone else, we should try to make the best out of our current situation."
"Well, I'm sure there's lots to discuss regarding this situation," Ryo spoke up. "But I really think we should go back to the situation at hand. Our friends have been forced to de-digivolve to their In-Training levels, and Millenniummon is still a threat to your island..."
He stopped in mid-sentence, when suddenly, the walls around them started shaking.
"What's going on here?" KingFlymon shouted. "What was that?"
A HoneyBeemon flew in. "Your Majesty, it's the GreenSyndicate... we're under attack!"
"What?" the king shouted. "But how can this be... I thought our hive entrance was well hidden?"
"Not anymore, Your Highness," the HoneyBeemon gulped. "The green insects have found it... and they are not alone. They are accompanied by Ebidramon and other sea Digimon... and an incredibly powerful, humanoid dragon Digimon. He seems invincible..."
Ryo gritted his teeth. "Cyberdramon..." he grumbled.
----
Meanwhile, a certain Palmon girl was sitting at a computer, in the house of Ai and Mako's parents, and stared at the screen with teary eyes and trembling fingers.
"Mom..." she murmured as she looked at the image of the Yellow Hive map that was displayed in front of her, along with all of the events that were happening at his moment. "Dad..."
She switched to the map of the hive entrance... where she saw dozens of tiny enemy sprites, most of them members of either the Green Syndicate or Mermaimon's pirate gang.
Kei sobbed. "It's not fair!" she cried. "It's just not fair! Now I know my parents are fine, they even remember me and... and now I can't stop all of this from happening?" She selected a Digimon sprite from the Green Syndicate and tried deleting it.
ERROR... ACTION NOT POSSIBLE!
ERROR... ACTION NOT POSSIBLE!
ERROR... ACTION NOT POSSIBLE!
"CURSE YOU, BIOCALUMON!" Kei screamed. "CURSE YOU AND YOUR HORRIBLE GAME!"
