Susanna sighs and turns towards Takato as she's still trying to hold Crystal Agumon back with the help of the other digimon, "From what I was told by Crystal Agumon awhile back is that he was forced to watch as a Tyrannomon destroyed his village after him and most of the other Crystal Agumons were taken out of there by Lord Holy Angemon," she said, "The reason he has such a hatred or rage against Tyrannomon is that the other Crystal Agumons that this Crystal Agumon here considered as family and some that were very close friends of his were still there when the place was destroyed."
"That is just awful," Jeri said.
"Why do you say you had no choice Tyrannomon," Tai asked, "And how do you know it's the same Tyrannomon, Crystal Agumon?"
"Because no matter how the outer appearance may change on a digimon the sent will always be the same," Crystal Agumon growled, "Obviously that fool has not heard of the saying sacrifice the few in the needs of the many."
"Because I didn't," Tyrannomon said, "If I did have a choice I would have rather died then do what I did and I have heard that saying plenty of times, the reason I say I didn't have a choice is because Lord Holy Angemon told me that if I didn't do that he would destroy a digital city that I know of very well that at least a thousand digimon live in. I hated doing it but it was either I did what I was told and end the lives of five digimon as I destroyed the place from what I was told or he would kill me and destroy an entire city."
"Only five lives," Crystal Agumon growled, "There were still at least fifteen Crystal Agumons there when you destroyed the town." He looks at Tyrannomon with pure rage, "I don't believe that you were only told that there were five digimon still there or the part about the city."
"Sorry don't hurt me," Tyrannomon yelled as he hides behind Tai, "I told him that I thought he was lying about how many were in there and then he forced me to be a research subject afterwards."
"Let go of me I said," Crystal Agumon yelled still trying to get free from the other digimon.
"Not till you calm down and listen to reason," Susanna said.
"Then I guess that leaves me no other choice," Crystal Agumon growled and bites part of Mimi and Palmon's vines that are helping hold him back causing them to cry out in pain as they let go of him.
"Palmon are you ok," Gabumon asked in concern.
"I do not care what you say Tyrannomon," Crystal Agumon yelled as he runs after Tyrannomon after finally getting free from the other digimon holding him back.
Tai just watch as the two digimons run around the area.
"Crystal Agumon stop this," Susanna yelled as she tackles him to the ground, "You're acting completely unreasonable at the moment."
"I really do not care at the moment," Crystal Agumon said, "He killed a lot of digimon that were close to me and he is going to pay for it."
Crystal starts to try to get up as he pushes Susanna off of himself only for the other digimon to tackle him back to the ground, "Listen Crystal Agumon," Gabumon said, "If you do this then you aren't any better then Lord Holy Angemon."
"I am nothing like Lord Holy Angemon so do not compare me to him," Crystal Agumon growled, "Lord Holy Angemon would kill him with out any thoughts while I just want to make him suffer for awhile for what he did."
"That's part of what Lord Holy Angemon does to the ones he thinks are spies," Mary said with out thinking about it.
"Lord Holy Angemon deletes them after he gets the information he wants," Crystal Agumon growled, "I would never do anything like that or hurt another digimon that way."
"Crystal Agumon is right about that," Susanna said as she shudders as she remembers some of the things she has seen while sneaking around in some vents, "With some of the things I've seen him do that are physical instead of the usual mental torture he uses it would be even worse if they lived and what's worse is he leaves them alive like that for a day or two."
"I wish I could go back and keep myself from doing what I did but I can't," Tyrannomon said.
"Shut up I do not believe that at all," Crystal Agumon yelled, "Crystal Flame," he yelled firing his attack at Tyrannomon who doesn't have a chance to get out of the way and is thrown into the wall behind him from the force of the impact.
Tyrannomon stands up and limps away. Crystal Agumon charges at him once more. This time he found himself landing on the ground face first. He looks back to see vines around his feet. Tai takes his chance and grabs Tyrannomon and he runs into his place.
Inside, Tai walks into his bedroom and places the small digimon on the small couch he has in there and walks away from it as Tyrannomon slips under a blanket and walks into Kari's bedroom and sees a small mound under some blankets. All he could see is a muzzle with thinning white fur.
"Tai what was with all the noise?" Kari asked.
"A bit of a grudge," Tai said as he sits on the side of her bed. "How are you doing."
"Good," Kari said, "but for being sick to my stomach."
"Alright," Tai said, "Call if you need anything."
"Why did you come in here?" Kari asked.
"I needed to calm down," Tai said, "I'm going back out to see what can be done." As he walks from his place he turns to a gatomon. "Tyrannomon is not allowed to leave for now."
"Alright I will make sure he doesn't," the gatomon said, "But Lord Tai with what just happened I don't think he'll willingly come out of the room on his own any time soon."
"I know that but just in case make sure he stays in there," Tai said, "I don't want him running off like he did last time."
'I tried to tell him the truth but he doesn't want to believe me,' Tyrannomon thinks, 'What I don't get is why I really didn't feel any kind of pain till I hit the wall.'
"Are you going to be ok," one of the gatomons asked as she walks over to where Tyrannomon is under some blankets.
"I think so," Tyrannomon said, "Other then the fact my right leg and tail hurt like hell I seem to feel fine otherwise."
"Do you know why he attacked you like that," the same gatomon asked.
"Yeah I do," Tyrannomon said, "He's pissed off at me because of something that I was forced to do and I wish I could go back and stop myself from doing it."
"So what is it you did to make him so angry with you," the gatomon asked.
"I don't want to talk about it at the moment," Tyrannomon sighed.
"Alright," the gatomon said.
Tai walks over to the others to see Crystal Agumon being held down by vines, Gabumon, and some other digimon. "So how is he?" Tai asked.
"He's mad," Matt said, "But he's doing better."
"Lets try to get back to the meeting," Tai said.
"Alright," Matt said, "Gabumon keep Crystal Agumon under control."
"Alright," Gabumon said, "We got it here."
"Izzy, we need some way to store the information," Tai said.
"Yes I know," Izzy said, "I am trying to make a program that will store any information we get and one to also get the information from this disk so you can hold onto it if you want too."
"Sorry about everything that just happened," Tai said, "If I knew that it was going to I would have made Tyrannomon stay in the room before all of you arrived."
"Hey it's not your fault Tai," Sora said, "How were you supposed to know that Crystal Agumon and Tyrannomon don't have a good history."
"Yeah I know," Tai said, "But if I had grabbed Tyrannomon sooner then it wouldn't have lasted as long as it did."
"Lets not worry about that and get back to the meeting for now," Mimi said.
"Before we do get back to the meeting," Matt said, "Do you think it's wise for her to be here at the moment?"
"Don't mind me," the nurse said, "I couldn't care less if that pig and bastard Lord Holy Angemon gets what he deserves for all the things he has done to some of the digimon that work for him, hell at times I wish I was strong enough to take him down myself."
"So you're one of the rebels we have heard about," Patamon asked.
"Rebels," the nurse asked confused, "What rebels are you talking about?"
"Well that answers my question," Patamon said.
"There is one thing I know for a fact," the nurse said, "It was Lord Holy Angemon using one of his abilities that is the cause for Ice's broken leg, I know because she isn't the first one he's done that to."
"What I want to know is why everyone calls him Lord Holy Angemon instead of just Holy Angemon," Mimi asked, "Wouldn't it be easier to just refer to him as Holy Angemon instead?"
"No it wouldn't be easier to calm him that, Lord Holy Angemon and Holy Angemon are two different digimon altogether," Patamon snapped.
"Hey there is no need to bite my head off because I asked a simple question," Mimi said.
"Patamon what has gotten into you," Matt asked, "It isn't like you to snap at people or be rude like that."
"Sorry about that," Patamon said as he tries to calm down, "It's just I didn't like the fact that Mimi was trying to refer to them as the same digimon."
"But why did you get so mad about that," Gabumon asked.
"I figured you out of everyone here would be one to know that answer already Gabumon," Patamon said, "But I'll tell you why, the reason is that Holy Angemon is another name that some digimon use for MagnaAngemon."
"Oh I didn't know that," Mimi said.
"Fine," Patamon said, "But if you do call him that, then I'm going to call him Mimi."
"Stop it," Matt said, "I better get going." He pick up both Crystal Agumon and Patamon. He walks away with Gabumon, Mimi and Palmon behind him.
"I'm going to talk to some of the gatomons," Tai said. He leads a small group to a corner. "Next to The Host's place there should be an area with some trees and bushes. I want you to search them for a way in."
"Alright," a gatomon said before they run off.
"This meeting didn't go too well now did it," Takato said.
A little later with a girl and her digimon partner, "I'm telling you we are lost," Jessica yelled at Black Renamon.
"I'm sure this was the right way," Black Renamon said. She turns to a group of people and digimon. "They may be able to tell us where to go."
'Why did I have to get stuck with her,' Jessica thinks and shudders at the thought of the possibility of others she could have gotten stuck with, 'At least it's not as bad as it could be.'
"Are you coming Jessica," Black Renamon asked seeing her partner just standing there at the moment.
"Yeah I'm coming," Jessica said and turns to Black Renamon and a sweat drop forms as she sees what she is doing and smacks her forehead, "Black Renamon I thought I told you to not act like that in public for the time being."
"What do you mean," Black Renamon asked as she stops digging and turns to look at Jessica realizing what she was just doing, "Oh sorry about that, I couldn't help it."
"I swear she is so much like him in so many ways," Jessica muttered under her breath.
"So much like who," Black Renamon asked as she hears what Jessica just said.
"It doesn't really matter," Jessica said, "Lets just ask them if they know where we should go before you get us even more lost."
"So we got a little lost," Black Renamon said, "It's not that big of a deal is it really?"
"Yes," Jessica said, "Lets just find this boy you said isn't him but is."
"I just remembered from seeing him fight," Black Renamon said picking up a small gatomon with orange fur.
"Put her down," Jessica said.
"But she's cute," Black Renamon said as she drops the gatomon.
"Can I help you?" Sora asked.
"You can," Jessica said, "You see this black fox next to me got us lost and..." She turns back to see Black Renamon holding two gatomons. "Down," Jessica said. Black Renamon released a whine as she drops them. "Sorry but do you..."
"Hey look," Black Renamon yelled.
Jessica sighs, "What is your problem now Black Renamon," she asked as she turns to her.
"Uh do I know you," Takato asked as Black Renamon has him in a bear hug.
"Don't you even know how to keep your own partner under control," Rika said as she walks over to Jessica, "Oh great it's you again."
"That's an interesting look for you Rika," Jessica said, "But that's not why I'm here, I came here because I have to tell Takato over there I think his name is some really important things."
"I don't trust you with some of the things you have done in the past when you have been following us around," Rika said.
"I really don't care if you trust me or not," Jessica said, "I just need to talk to him and it really doesn't matter to me if the rest of you decide to listen to what I have to tell him."
"Can you do something about your partner," Takato asked, "I'm having trouble breathing."
"Black Renamon put him down," Jessica said.
"But."
"I said put him down," Jessica said, "Unless you want to end up suffocating him."
"Fine," Black Renamon whined as she lets go of Takato.
"So are you going to let me talk to Takato or not," Jessica said.
'I don't trust her Rika,' Renamon said to Rika through their telepathic link, 'Something doesn't seem right about her at all.'
'I think I know what mean,' Rika responded to Renamon, 'I just have the feeling that she isn't who she says she is and I don't like that one bit at all.'
"With the way the two of you are staring at me Rika and Renamon I can see that you don't trust me at all," Jessica said, "I guess I'll have to find another way to talk to Takato, come on Black Renamon lets go."
"Do we have to," Black Renamon whined.
"You can try but I doubt you'll be able to," Rika said.
"Yes we have to Black Renamon," Jessica said, "Oh don't worry I'll be able to, if I must I will talk to Lord Holy Angemon about challenging Takato to a fight and have it set up to where Renamon and Black Renamon fight each other with out using any modify cards or digivolving."
"Can't we stay," Black Renamon said, "Look at all the gatomons."
"I'm glad I don't even need to pretend to be her partner," Rika said.
"I'll let you know my partner can out fight you," Jessica yelled.
"I would like to see that," Rika said.
"Alright," Jessica said, "Black Renamon fights Renamon. I'll reserve a training area."
"Alright," Rika said, "You can do that but doesn't mean we'll be there."
Jessica turns and walks away thinking, 'I just need to make sure that it is for two humans and two digimon only. That way Rika can't bother us.'
"I think you're forgetting to tell us something," Renamon called out to Jessica.
Jessica stops and turns around, "And that would be what," she asked.
"Hmm let us think about that," Rika said, "You haven't mention exactly when you want Renamon and Black Renamon to fight."
"I haven't said anything about that because I haven't reserved a training ground yet," Jessica said, "But I'm planning it to be for around ten tomorrow morning or whenever I can get one for tomorrow."
"So you want to me to fight your partner a few hours after I have already had breakfast," Renamon said.
"I don't really care around what time any of you eat breakfast," Jessica said, "I just want to make sure Black Renamon has time to digest her food before you two fight."
"Fine whatever you say," Rika said.
Jessica turns around and starts walking away again but after a minute stops, "Black Renamon I said lets go," she said, "Unless you want me to make your training even harsher then usual for the next few days. Oh Takato if you and Renamon don't show up tomorrow then I guess I would have no other choice then to schedule an actual fight with you, that's a promise that I plan to keep."
"Alright I'm coming," Black Renamon said in a disappointed tone of voice.
"I will," Takato said.
"How can you trust her?" Rika asked.
"It's better than fighting her in a real fight," Takato said.
"I agree with Takato," Renamon said.
Meanwhile, hidden by bushes and trees a group of gatomons pulls the cover from an air vent off and one slips into the vent. Walking on all fours, she made her way to the end of the vent. She looks around the darkened hall. When she exit, she said, "They didn't even notice me."
"This is great," another gaotmon said, "We're hidden and we can sneak in. We need to tell Lord Tai."
"Quiet for a moment someone is coming this way," one of the other gatomons said.
The gatomons silently wait there for about ten minutes before checking to see if anyone is around at the moment, "It looks like the coast is clear," a gatomon said.
"Alright lets go and try not to be seen," another gatomon said, "Well at least not till we are far enough from this area for other digimon to see us and not wonder what is going on."
One by one the gatomons left the area as to not raise any suspicion from any workers that would see them.
A little later as one of them is heading back to the area Tai stays she passes Jessica and Black Renamon and stops to look at them, "It is just weird how most humans look different and then some look exactly like others," she muttered to herself.
The gatomon starts to head back to the area she is going only to be grabbed by the Black Renamon.
Jessica realizing that Black Renamon has stopped yet again turns around, "Black Renamon you are really beginning to try my patience," Jessica said, "Put the gatomon down and come on now and if you stop again I'll have no choice but to double your training the next few days."
"Alright I'm coming," Black Renamon said as she drops the gatomon and starts following Jessica again.
"That girl may look like Rika but her partner sure doesn't act like Rika's does," the gatomon said as continues on her way.
"I'm going to do some searching," Tai told Takato.
"I'm going to rest," Renamon said, "I should be at my best for the fight."
"I'll watch the gatomons," Takato said.
Meanwhile Matt walks with Mimi into the Theme park. "This is going to be fun," Mimi said.
"It should be," Matt said, "So Gabumon took Palmon window shopping even though they don't have digi-chips."
"It would be for fun," Mimi said, "Something they can work together to earn."
"Maybe I should start doing something to earn some of those," Matt said.
"I have an idea," Mimi said, "Why don't we get a job that all of us can do, though you might have to either talk Sora into coming with us or to allow Palmon and I to go with you."
"We can talk about that later Mimi," Matt said, "Right now we are here to have some fun."
"Ok how about we go to the haunted house first if this place has one," Mimi said.
"That sounds good to me," Matt said, "I just hope if they do have one they use actual real things instead of crappy fake things like in the real world."
A little later, Mimi walks out of the haunted house clinging to Matt's leg. "You alright?" Matt asked, "You look a bit pale."
"I couldn't stand the Bakemon coming through the walls and yelling at us," Mimi said, "You never know where they come from. Why did they have a Skull Greymon? I want my partner."
"Sorry, we were just doing our job," a Bakemon said floating up from the ground. He blinks at Mimi hanging on Matt's head.
"It's alright," Matt said to the floramon hugging his head, "Lets try this." He leads Mimi to the fun house.
In the fun house Mimi giggles as she looks at the image in front of them. "I want to see me alone," Mimi said, "I hope there isn't any Bakemons."
"Yes," a Bakemon said. He blinks a few times wondering where the back of the floramon went. He turns back to see the flower digimon on the head of the human. "Our rest room is below and I heard someone so I came up to see what you wanted."
"My friend here was just saying that she hoped there wasn't any Bakemons in here because we just came from the haunted house," Matt said.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you," the Bakemon said.
"Don't worry about it," Matt said, "Mimi will be fine."
"Y-y-yeah I-I'll b-be f-f-fine," Mimi stuttered.
"Well I'll be going now and sorry again about that," the Bakemon said as he leaves through the wall.
"Are you sure you are going to be fine Mimi," Matt asked.
"Yeah I s-said I w-w-would," Mimi said still stuttering a little.
"Lets try to do some other things," Matt said, "That should help."
Meanwhile Tai smiles as he listens to the gatomons tell him. "Good," he said, "That would help us. Go play."
About half of the gatomons that told Tai run off, "Uh Lord Tai can we ask you something," a few of them that stayed said.
"Sure what is it," Tai asked.
"We just want to know if there is anything else we can do to help you out right now," one of the gatomons asked, "It's fun to play but I think I speak for some of us when I say that some times we would rather do something else."
"Is this true," Tai asked as all of the gatomons nod their heads in agreement.
"Takato you and Renamon are being stupid agreeing to meet her at the training area tomorrow," Rika yelled.
"No it isn't stupid," Takato said, "I'm pretty sure that if we ended up having to fight Jessica in an actual battle then she would take Renamon if she ended up winning."
"Still you walk right into a trap," Rika said.
"It is still better than risking Renamon," Takato said.
"Enough," Tai said, "If you don't trust her then send some gatomons to learn about her."
"It's the best we can do for now," Rika said before she fades.
"I'll get a few gatomons to help you," Tai said.
"Come back early," Renamon said, "You're my tamer for this fight and I don't need you to be tired."
"Alright," Takato said.
Elsewhere Crystal Agumon smile and said, "And done. With this program we can not only store the information we collect with this in the palace but also it will start working on the pattern in which they
change."
"Are you sure you can find a pattern?" Wormmon asked.
"With the many large pieces moving then it can not be random," Crystal Agumon said, "The pattern is just too complex for us to understand."
"Why do you say that if you say we can use this program to get the pattern," Gomamon asked.
"I say that because it moves to often for a human or digimon to comprehend the actual pattern with out any kind of program," Crystal Agumon said, "What I mean if you tried to memorize it you would just give yourself a major headache."
"Gomamon before you get upset I am pretty sure when Crystal Agumon said you he did not mean that as an insult," Izzy said, "What I think he meant is that anyone who tried to memorize it would get a major headache."
"No most people would just get really confused and a slight headache," Crystal Agumon said, "I can tell that when I try to explain some things to Gomamon that half of the things I talk about gives him headaches."
"Hey I'm not stupid," Gomamon yelled.
"I never said you were stupid Gomamon," Crystal Agaumon said, "All I mean is that there are some things I know that you currently do not understand and might not for a long time."
"Crystal Agumon why do you say things like that to him," Izzy asked, "You know it makes him upset."
"I find it fun trying to annoy some people," Crystal Agumon said, "I do it when I get bored at times."
"I thought you found it fun to work with computers and other mechanical stuff," Izzy said.
"I do most of the time," Crystal Agumon said, "But every now and then I do get a little bored just doing only that."
"That's okay," Gomamon said, "I'm sure he wouldn't understand some of the things I know about."
"Like what?" Crystal Agumon asked.
"I picked up some things from Joe," Gomamon said, "I even help him study. I may not be smart when it comes to computers but when it comes to medical things I'm smarter than him."
"He got you there," Ken said as he scratch under his fur.
"Why are you here?" Crystal Agumon asked Ken.
"Izzy is watching us so TK can recover in peace," Wormmon said, "That's why you are here too."
"Actually I am here because I am helping Izzy," Crystal Agumon said.
A little later in the area where Tai, Takato and Kari's rooms are, "Where do you two think you're going," Tai asked seeing Veemon and Davis heading towards the room.
"We're going inside if that is ok with you," Davis said.
"First I want to talk to the both of you about something," Tai said.
"What is it you want," Davis asked slightly annoyed.
"Yeah we want to go inside and relax," Veemon said.
As Veemon and Davis walk over to Tai the gatomons follow behind them, "Hey what's going on," Davis asked as the gatomons form a circle around the three of them.
"I asked them to do that," Tai said, "The reason I want to talk to you is because the next few days Davis I want you and Veemon to stay out of Kari's room."
"Why do you want us to do that," Davis asked.
"You know very well why I want that Davis," Tai said, "Also earlier during the meeting I heard what you were thinking when I said why Kari and Gatomon weren't at the meeting."
"What do you mean I wasn't thinking anything wrong," Davis said.
"Uh why am I here if this mainly has to do with Davis," Veemon asked.
"Nothing against you Veemon but with you being Davis' partner I'm not exactly sure I can trust you in this situation either," Tai said, "And Davis don't play stupid I heard you thinking about why her changes couldn't speed up till after the meeting started."
"What I wasn't thinking anything like that," Davis said.
"Davis all you are going to do is make things worse for yourself if you keep lying to me," Tai said, "If you want to keep it up instead of having you and Veemon sleep in my room for the next few days I'll only let Veemon sleep in my room while I'll force you to sleep out here."
"You know Davis if you are lying now might be a good time to stop," Veemon said.
"Ok I did think that," Davis said, "But most people under the same circumstances would probably too."
"Probably not when they know her older brother can hear other peoples thoughts," Tai said, "Also I catch you trying to get into Kari's room tonight I won't hesitate to throw you out of the room and lock you out for the night."
"That wouldn't be a good thing especially tonight," Veemon said, "Because I think I read it's supposed to rain."
As if on cue it suddenly starts pouring, "Veemon did you have to say that," Davis yelled as they all start running into the room to get out of the rain.
"Hey what's with all the commotion," Black Gatomon asked as Tai, Davis and Veemon finally get into the room.
"It just started pouring outside," Davis said.
"So it's raining, why is it such a big deal," Black Gatomon asked and looks at them strangely.
"Is something wrong Black Gatomon," Tai asked seeing the look she's giving them.
"Yeah I'm just wondering why the three of you are soaking wet," Black Gatomon said.
"Didn't you hear Davis," Veemon said, "It's raining outside."
"So just because it's raining you," Black Gatomon started to say and stops as she remembers a few things Gatomon told her, "Oh right the three of you come from the west sector of the digital and that real world, I'm not sure exactly how things work there but here you only get wet if you think you'll get wet."
"What do you mean," Veemon asked.
"Take a look around the room and tell me that you see the gatomons that just came in are wet," Black Gatomon said.
"Of course they are wet," Davis yelled and looks around the room and sees that not a single one of them has wet fur to his total confusion.
"If you don't get wet unless you want to then why did all of you run in here," Tai asked.
"Just because we didn't get wet doesn't mean that it doesn't irritate our skin or feel cold to us," Betty said.
"The Digi-World never stop surprising me," Tai said.
"You couldn't tell me sooner," Davis said.
"Sorry," Betty muttered.
"Is there anything else you think I should know?" Davis asked as he lead Betty away.
"Can you control the weather?" Tai asked.
"Some times," another gatomon said, "It could rain and snow on its own."
"How is it possible to control the weather," Davis asked, "Also could Veemon been the one to cause it to rain?"
"No it wasn't his fault," a gatomon said, "We could sense it was going to start soon and told that to Tai."
"It was just coincidence that it started pouring like that after Veemon said that," Betty said.
"I can still remember how it used to get dark before the way it does now," another gatomon said.
"What do you mean," Tai asked, "Didn't the digital sun always go down like in the real world here?"
"No it didn't," Betty said, "Originally their wasn't a sun in the digital world and the way it was is that one minute it would be day and the next night, it was like flipping a switch."
"That is just really weird," Agumon said, "Also why does the moon in this sector of the digital world look so strange?"
"What do you mean," Mary asked.
"I mean why does it look like that," Agumon asked as he goes over to a window and points at the Tamers real world.
Some of the gatomons walk over to see what he's pointing at, "That's not the moon," one of the gatomon said, "That's the real world you're pointing at."
"That's the real world," Tai said confused, "In the digital world I have known for so long you can't even see the real world and what are those small blue beams coming from it?"
"Oh those are data streams," a salamon that just walked up behind them said, "They suck up data from the digital world and transfer it to a computer in the real world before spitting it back out somewhere else."
"Why are you in your rookie form," Agumon asked.
"Well last thing I remember before waking up as a Snowbotamon a few days ago was one of the nurses looking at me," the salamon said, "I have been mainly staying in Kari's room till now."
"Welcome," Mary cheered, "I'll give you some rules and show you around."
"I'll pretend to do something important," Agumon said as he walks away.
Meanwhile Sora opens her door. She looks at Matt holding a white floramon. "What happen?" Sora asked.
"I took her to the haunted house and bakemons jump out at her," Matt said, "Later it turns out under the theme park is a huge network of tunnels with bakemons. They pop up to tell Mimi who was complaining that they are sorry. Mimi scream and starts complaining then another pops up to tell that he's sorry."
"I'll see what I can do for her," Sora said.
"Have you seen Palmon and Gabumon?" Matt asked.
"No," Sora said, "Do you want me to tell him to go back tp your room?"
"No," Matt said, "Can Gabumon stay with you?"
"Sure," Sora said.
"Thanks I appreciate it," Matt said, "I just don't want him bothering TK right now."
"I can understand why," Sora said, "Though if he tries anything I don't like I won't hesitate to have Biyomon knock him out."
"I'm sure Palmon can handle that," Biyomon said.
Meanwhile Suzy smiles as she walks up to Terreirmon and Lopmon. Both asleep with their heads next to each other. Suzy smiles at Henry as she loops Lopmon's ears.
"What are you doing?" Henry asked.
"Watch me," Suzy said. She pulls one of Terriermon's ear through the loop of Lopmon. Then she tied Terriermon's ears and next she tied Lopmon ears. After tying once more, she walk up to Henry. "I can't wait for them to wake up."
"Why do you do stuff like that to them," Henry asked, "And they probably won't be waking up anytime soon with how late it's getting."
"I know they won't wake up for awhile," Suzy said.
Meanwhile in Takato's room, "Is something wrong Renamon," Kara asked, "I figured you would have been asleep by now?"
"Usually I would but the sound of the rain is making me restless," Renamon said, "It makes me think of how Rika had me train in it in the real world."
"What's so bad about that," Kara asked.
"Nothing really," Renamon said, "That's just when she had me train the hardest is all, if I wasn't having a battle against that Black Renamon tomorrow I probably be showing Rika how to use her attacks and other abilities better then she does."
"Kind of a revenge thing for her having you training in the rain," Kara asked.
"No nothing like that," Renamon said, "It's just that I had gotten so used to training in the rain that when I hear it most of the time I end up doing some sort of training in it."
"So I see," Kara said, "It's a good thing it's not that late yet."
"I'm going to try to get some sleep," Renamon said.
Meanwhile in Tai's room, "She tires out easily," the salamon said.
"Yeah well she had a long day and got really exited," Tai said as he carries Mary into his room, "By the way what name do you go by, most of the others have names."
"The name I use is Alexandria," the salamon said following Tai, "Some of the others at times just call me Alex."
"So why did you come to this place," Tai asked.
"I just did," Alexandria said and yawns, "I'm actually feeling tired myself so I'm going to go to sleep as well."
"Ok," Tai said and watches as she walks around in a circle a few times before laying down.
"What's wrong," Alexandria asked as Tai shakes his head chuckles a little.
"Oh nothing is wrong," Tai said, "It's just that seeing you do that made me think of some types of dogs in the real world."
"Why is that," she asked.
"Well at the moment you look like a puppy in your current form," Tai said.
A few hours later Mary is tossing and turning in her sleep.
"Why haven't you gone through yet," Myotismon said as he gets ready to use his energy whip on her.
"I don't think that is the real world on the other side this time either," Mary said.
"Are you questioning my orders Gatomon," Myotismon said as he uses his energy whip to hit Mary in the back.
"Alright I'm going," Mary cried as she's hit and runs through the gate right afterwards, "Huh where are the others they only left a few minutes before I did?"
Mary starts walking in the direction she thinks the group she's supposed to be with went, about twenty minutes later she can hear the sound of fighting and walks up the hill in front of her and ducks down as she sees the group fighting other digimon, "What's going on down there," she whispered to herself.
One of the other Gatomons in the group yelled, "Power paw," and hits a rookie digimon doing very little damage.
"How is that even possible," Mary whispered as she watches the other Gatomon back away in surprise.
"Big mistake," the rookie digimon said loud enough for Mary to hear, "I already loaded one of your friends and I'm going to do the same to you."
'What does he mean by that,' Mary thinks as she gets ready to go help the others but is horrified as the digimon launches a Nova flame attack at the other Gatomon deleting her and then loading her data.
"Now that feels great," the digimon said after he finishes loading the data and turns towards another one of the group Mary should be with, "Power Paw," the digimon yelled as he hits a Deltamon in the back causing a lot of damage.
"I have to get out of here," Mary said a little to loud causing the digimon attacking the group to become aware of her as she starts running to where she knows the gate will still be open, "What did that one rookie do to that other Gatomon and how the hell are all of those rookies even beating them like that?"
"Hmm looks like there is still one more up there that we missed," the digimon said, "Stop fooling around and finish those other two off so we can go after whatever digimon is up there."
"What do you mean," one of the two digimon that are still alive asked that seem to be holding their own pretty well.
"This is what he means," as the ones attacking them said and with out much trouble deletes the one who asked the question.
"This shouldn't even be," the Devidramon said right before he's deleted.
"Let's go," the digimon said as he and his two followers go after Mary.
'I'm almost to the gate,' Mary thinks, 'Just a little bit farther.' A few minutes later Mary can see the gate and her eyes go wide in horror when she notices it's already halfway closed and closing. She speeds up to try to get to the gate before it closes but has to skid to a stop as it slams shut and she pounds on it for a moment as it starts to blend in with it's surroundings making it look invisible.
A few minutes later Mary turns around hearing someone panting behind her, "Thought you could get away from us did you," the digimon said with an evil smirk.
Even though Mary knows she doesn't have a chance she gets into a defensive stance, "What do you want with me," she asked.
"Only to load your data and become stronger," the digimon said.
"Red ey..."
"Triplex forc..."
"Nova fla..."
Mary sees a blue flash of light, "Nooooo," she yelled as she wakes up from the nightmare she just had.
"What's wrong?" Agumon asked walking up to Mary.
"Just a bad dream Big Brother," Mary said.
"Rest with me," Agumon said.
"Okay big brother," Mary said. She rest her head on Agumon's lap. Slowly they fell asleep.
A little later, Renamon and Guilmon woke to a grunt. They turn to see Rika laying sideways on her bed with her foot raise up. They watch as she spin around. "Look like she's dreaming about fighting," Guilmon said. Renamon nods and lowers her head down.
The next morning, Rika opens her eyes. She tries to move her arms only to find them trapped. She looks down to see a knot of blankets. "Maybe I shouldn't have tried to cover you," Kara said.
"What time is it?" Rika asked as she tries to get free.
"Eight in the morning," Kara said, "Renamon is doing some warm ups. Lets try to free you from that."
"That would be nice," Rika said, "Especially with my arms being really cramped, it might be easier if I stand up."
"Rika wait," Kara said as Rika starts to stand up and falls, "I was trying to tell you that your left leg and tail is also tangled in the blanket."
"This is just great," Rika said.
"Don't worry I'll help you get untangled from that mess," Kara said as she starts helping Rika.
A little later Renamon teleports into the room, "I came in here to see why Rika hasn't come out yet, it's not like her to," she said, "Ok what is going on in here?"
"Rika woke up tangled in her blankets so I'm trying to help her get untangled from them," Kara said still working on getting Rika untangled from it.
"Wouldn't it just be easier and quicker to use your claws to cut the blanket," Renamon said.
"Yeah it would be," Kara said, "But there is two problems, one I'm not sure where exactly to use my claws with out getting Rika and two I started to try that already and accidentally cut Rika's arm I think it was."
"Yeah you did and just below my elbow as well," Rika said, "If that weren't bad enough, my arms are bent in a way that they are starting to hurt like hell."
"Let me see if I can do anything to help," Renamon said and sees how bad the blanket is tangled around Rika's arms and tail still.
"With the way you been fighting in you sleep you would think you were taking on an entire army," Guilmon said. "Renamon, its almost time to get to the fight area. I'll be watching you meaning no one will be watching Jessica. That means she could do anything to Takato like kissing or worst."
"What!" Rika yelled. They watch Rika fade away.
Takato blinks as Rika hugs him. "You can stop," Takato said.
"I would but I feel a bit woozie," Rika said.
"Rika you left your gloves," Kara said.
"I'm feeling a little better," Rika said as she slips her gloves on.
"Renamon we need to get to the fight," Takato said.
"Relax Takato," Renamon said, "We still have about forty-five minutes till we have to be there."
"Uh Renamon the clock in yours and Rika's room is about thirty minutes slow," Kara said, "Rika ended up knocking it off the dresser and causing it to come unplugged last night."
"I was wondering why you told me it was eight when the clock said seven thirty," Rika said.
"Then lets get going Takato so we aren't late getting there," Renamon said.
"I'm ready whenever you are," Takato said.
"I'm going with the both of you," Rika said.
"Actually Rika I think it would be best if you remain here for now," Renamon said before grabbing Takato and teleporting away.
Takato and Renamon run up to the Jessica. "You're on time, good," Jessica said, "Lets get going to the area."
"Wait," Rika said, "I'm coming."
"Sorry," the digimon behind the counter said, "The training ground is set up for two digimon and two humans only."
"It's the size I thought would be good," Jessica said, "You can watch from above." She turns to Takato. "Any rules you want to add?"
"Yeah there is one thing, keep your hands off Takato or else," Rika said.
"I'm not talking to some weak digimon," Jessica said, "I'm talking to Takato so mind your own business."
"I'll show you who is weak," Rika yelled as she gets ready to attack Jessica only for Renamon to stop her.
"I have a few ideas," Takato said, "One don't insult Rika like that again and two during the fight you and Black Renamon aren't to cheat at all."
"I don't need to cheat and neither does Black Renamon to beat the two of you," Jessica yelled in pure anger.
"Prove it by taking out you r cards and giving them to Rika or Guilmon for now," Takato said.
"I would do that but the only problem with that is they are back in my room at the moment," Jessica said.
"Then what is that bulge in your left pocket," Renamon said.
"It's my D-arc and something else I have to show Takato while you and Black Renamon are fighting," Jessica said.
"Will you let go of me Guilmon so I can teach her a lesson for insulting me," Rika yelled.
"Uh Renamon do you think I should, I don't want her to get hurt," Guilmon said and Renamon nods her head.
As Guilmon lets go of her she runs at Jessica only to scream in pain as she runs into a force field that throws her back, "Rika are you ok," Takato yelled in concern as Rika's lying on the ground where she landed not moving.
"Don't worry she'll be fine," a worker digimon said as he's passing by, "Those force fields around the training arenas only stun the digimon that try to get in there that aren't supposed to be, she'll be moving around in about five to ten minutes from now."
'Damn that smarted,' Rika thinks, 'What that digimon said explains why I can't move and why my body is completely numb.'
Takato turns to Renamon, "You and Guilmon knew that was going to happen," Takato said accusingly.
"I thought of that as a possibility or Black Renamon defending Jessica," Renamon said, "Think of it as a lesson for Rika to realize she needs to keep her anger under control."
"It's kind of harsh," Guilmon said, "But it's the best way she can learn."
"A simple match no cards," Jessica said. She walks over to Black Renamon and whispers, "Remember I need as much time with Takato as you can give me. Also I don't want Renamon hurt."
"I won't go easy on you," Renamon said as she walks into the center of the area.
"This is still for training," Black Renamon said, "So there is no reason to hurt each other badly."
"Very well," Renamon said, "Control is just as important as power."
"Control is more important then power in some cases," Black Renamon said.
"Depends on the person's or digimon's point of view that you talk to," Renamon said as she gets into a fighting stance.
"That is very much true," Black Renamon said as she gets into her own fighting stance.
'Now I get to see if all of Black Renamon's recent training payed off,' Jessica thinks.
Just then Black Renamon kicks at Renamon's gut. Renamon easily jumps from the attack. "That was slow," Renamon said.
"I just want you out of range," Black Renamon said just before she runs a circle around Renamon.
"Smart," Renamon said, "Make me come to you."
"Thanks," Black Renamon said.
"Not smart enough," Renamon said before phasing from view. Black Renamon stops and turns her back. "You left yourself open," Renamon said as she drops toward Black Renamon and Black Renamon rolls from the attack.
"That's what you think," Black Renamon said as she grabs Renamon and slams her into the ground, Renamon uses this to her advantage and sweep kicks Black Renamon's legs out from under her.
"Not bad but UGGHH," Renamon said only for Black Renamon to elbow her in the stomach.
"You should have payed attention to which way I was falling," Black Renamon said.
"You just got lucky," Renamon said as she punches Black Renamon hard enough to throw her off, "And it won't happen again."
"Poetry in motion don't you think so Takato," Jessica said.
"Huh what are you talking about," Takato asked.
"I mean the way Renamon and Black Renamon move is like a form of art," Jessica said.
"If you say so," Takato said, "If I remember right the reason you wanted this fight is just so you could talk to me?"
"Yeah I have to tell you some really important things concerning you and all of your friends," Jessica said, "Also just to be safe I set it up that every few hours the nurses will stop by until those two are done to make sure they didn't seriously injure each other."
"Do you really think we'll be here for that long," Takato asked.
"With those two fighting you couldn't be sure," Jessica said and winces in pain as she grabs her left arm.
"Are you feeling ok," Takato asked.
"Yeah I'm fine," Jessica said, "Just an old injury that I got that is acting up because I had been too stubborn to get it looked at when I first got it."
"What happened exactly," Takato asked.
"That doesn't matter all that much," Jessica said, "But because of it I lost a little bit of mobility in my arm."
"That must really suck," Takato said.
"I'm not here to talk about that though," Jessica said, 'How can I tell him with out him thinking that I'm crazy?' she thinks.
"So what is it you need to talk about," Takato asked.
"Just give me a few minutes so I can think of a way to tell you," Jessica said.
"You're a lot more skilled then I figured you would be," Renamon said facing Black Renamon who just caught both of Renamons fists.
"Well that's thanks to my tamer and everyone else who helped train me," Black Renamon said as tries to sweep kick Renamon only for her to jump into the air, "As well as some natural talent I have."
"Don't rely on natural talent," Renamon said as she kicks at Black Renamon's head. Black Renamon drop to the ground. Then she charges at Renamon and grabs Black Renamon's punch and twist Black Renamon's arm.
Jessica turns from the fight. "I don't know how to say this," she said, "I know a great deal about what will happen."
"Great I have to listen to some of her crazy talk," Takato muttered to himself.
"Takato please don't start saying I'm crazy before I can tell you what I have to," Jessica said a little annoyed.
"Ok sorry about that," Takato said, 'Though your still crazy in my opinion,' he thinks.
Jessica sighs, "Well some of the things I really need to talk to you about concerns some of the digi-destined at some points," she said.
"Go on I'm listening," Takato said.
"Diamond Storm," Renamon yelled causing Jessica to turn back to the fight worried for Black Renamon's safety.
Takato and Jessica watch as Renamon releases her attack away from Black Renamon. "What is she doing?" Takato asked. He watch as Renmon increase in speed and spins with her foot raised.
"Renamom," Black Renamon said just before she is hit in the jaw.
