TK woke to the sight of a fog bank rolling across the bay that led to Odaiba. "Woah…" He gasped and went to the window to watch the fog. "TK, what is it?" Patamon woke, his sleepy voice barely making any noise. "Look at all the fog!" TK excitedly pointed out the window, giggling madly. "What's going on in here, you two?" His mom poked her head in. "We're just looking at the fog momma!" TK told her. "That's weird… There wasn't supposed to be much fog this morning…" She ducked out of the room and checked the T.V. again for the weather report. "Yeah… It's not supposed to be this heavy." Linzi nodded and stared out the window herself as she prepared a bowl of cereal. "Torpedomon, do you have any thoughts on it?" She asked her partner. "It doesn't seem natural. It makes me nervous, actually, almost like there's something hiding beyond it." Torpedomon whispered quietly, shuddering.
"Well, maybe we should head over there after breakfast…" Linzi suggested slowly. TK, coming out of his room, heard the girl and nodded. "My brother is over there, and he'll need help if Myotismon decides to come after him." The little boy nodded affirmatively. "I still think it's so cute." Patamon whispered to TK's mom, referring to the boy and his brother's relationship. "Let me message Joe and Luke, so we can all head over together. I think we'd feel safer that way." Linzi pulled her digivice out. "Wouldn't that be too much for your partner?" Ms. Ishida hugged Torpedomon and gave her a bowl of food. "Nah. Joe has a swimming digimon, and Luke has a flying digimon that can both be rather big. We'll be alright in crossing the bay if we can't get on the ferry." Linzi reassured her. "Message: Joe and Luke. Meet TK and I at the dock to make our way over to Odaiba. Send." The message sent quickly. "Let's finish breakfast first." Ms. Ishida had TK sit down at the table and handed a bowl to him and Patamon.
Mimi woke with a start, the silence of her room broken by the loud screams she heard outside her window. "What's all this ruckus?!" She opened the window and screamed when she saw the Bakemon outside her window. "GET OUT OF HERE!" She punched the particular digimon where its nose would be and slammed the window shut as it reached for her. "PALMON! TAYLOR! MOM! DAD! WAKE UP!" She shrieked loudly as she saw the Bakemon go for the window again. "POISON IVY!" Palmon, awake in a flash, opened the window and smacked the Bakemon away from it. "Mimi, we've got to get out of here and to the others." Taylor opened the door to the main room only to slam it shut when she was faced with more Bakemon. "We're in a bit of trouble!" She exclaimed as she held the door back from the ghostly digimon. "We'll come get you and your friends!" The Bakemon burst throw the window despite Palmon's best efforts and grabbed her. "OH NO!" Mimi yelled as she grabbed onto Palmon, forcing another Bakemon to grab her as well. A third Bakemon flew into the room as Taylor's eyes widened. "Oh no… Here we go…" Swiftly pocketing a small hair pin that Mimi had on her table, she surrendered willingly to the Bakemon, who followed the Bakemon that had grabbed Palmon and Mimi.
"Where are you taking us?" Mimi demanded to know, turning to look the Bakemon in the face. "Hohoho! Wouldn't you like to know?" The Bakemon dodged around the question, forcing Mimi to look ahead at the large convention center in front of them. "Well, that answers that question." She frowned and tried to look around for other people. "The others all went willingly, once we had broken into their houses." The Bakemon carrying Palmon smiled eerily. "Yeah, cause your breath stinks." Palmon gagged slightly as the smell made its way to her nose. "That's not very nice…" The Bakemon carrying Taylor sniffled as the girl held on for dear life. "It's not very nice capturing us and forcing us to go somewhere we don't want to go either, is it? But you do it anyways." The girl snipped and got a giggle out of Mimi. "Well, let's just give you a rough landing then!" Her Bakemon swooped down and dropped her roughly on the ground, where she stood, inside of the convention center. "Mimi! Palmon! Down here!" Taylor waved and watched as the two were dropped next to her. "Are you guys okay?" The girl asked the other two. "Yeah… A little shaken, but I'm okay." Mimi stood up and shook the dust off of her blue and pink pajamas. "Well… Looks like we're stuck here for a little while then…" Palmon stared around at all the Bakemon. "Maybe we should get out of sight…" Taylor suggested. "That's a good idea. This is creeping me out." Mimi shuddered and nodded eagerly.
"MOM! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Sora stood on her tiptoes as she, also in her pajamas, looked around for her mom. "I don't see her either, Sora." Biyomon flew down to the girl. "We'll keep looking. She's got to be around here somewhere. We saw her take her here, so there's no worries there." Ally, seemingly appearing from thin air, hugged Sora. "She wasn't in any of the places that we looked, so maybe she's on the second floor." Little Roomon suggested. "You're probably right. Let's get to those escalators." Sora pointed to the far side of the convention center. "We don't know what's going on here, but I don't like it one bit." Ally stared around and watched for any sudden movements. "Sora, wait!" Biyomon exclaimed. "Look, over there! It's Mimi, Palmon, and Taylor!" The flying digimon took off towards the other three, forcing Sora, Ally, and Roomon to chase after her. "Mimi! Look!" Palmon noticed the other girls before Mimi and Taylor did, waving happily. "Boy, are we glad to see you guys!" Mimi hugged Sora, who returned the hug. "Did the Bakemon get you too?" Taylor asked Sora, who nodded. "They broke into my mom's flower shop and took her first, and then they broke through Biyomon's defenses and took the rest of us." She sighed.
"It's a good thing that you guys aren't hurt." Taylor fixed Ally's hair quickly as Roomon jumped from Ally's pocket to her shoulder. "Roomon, did you get hurt?" Palmon asked as the in-training digimon shook her head fiercely. "Ally wouldn't let me take on the silly Bakemon! They're no match for my Boom Bubble!" Roomon hopped up and down, blowing a small bubble, getting a giggle out of Sora and Mimi. "Let's be careful though… There's no denying that Myotismon is behind that, and there' s no telling what he'll do." Ally froze as she saw the digimon in question enter a door on the top floor of the convention. "What's that digimon with him?" Mimi asked, concerned. "Oh no… That's Gatomon, the partner digimon to the 8th Japanese digidestined…" Taylor realized with a start as she saw the champion digimon be thrown into the room. "How do you know that?" Biyomon stared at Taylor, who laughed awkwardly. "Well… It's kind of a long story that happened last night when Tiffany, Tai, their partners, and Kari and I were awake." She began to explain the story as quickly as she could.
"Matt? Are you awake?" Gabumon gently poked the sleeping boy with his horn. "Whaaaat daaaad? It's not schooool…" Michael burst into laughter as he heard the younger boy's objections. "Matt, seriously, the others need us right now." Chinchilmon jumped up onto the bed and began tickling his nose using his tail. "Hey now! The featherduster is just for feathers…" Matt narrowly avoided Chinchilmon as he sat up suddenly, waking up quickly. "Good morning, sunshine." Michael smiled as Matt narrowed his eyes and glared at the teen. "O-kay, time to retreat to the kitchen." Michael ran out of the room as Matt got out of bed and charged after him. "All this to get him out of bed?"Chinchilmon wondered. "Matt can be a bit of a heavy sleeper." Gabumon stated the obvious, laughing quietly as he heard a loud clunk and an exclamation of pain from Michael. "Shows him right for using me to wake poor Matt up." Chinchilmon giggled as Matt walked back into the room, grabbed a shirt, and pulled it on over his pajamas before realizing what he was doing. "He is so dead for this." Matt sighed and stepped into the bathroom, changing quickly.
"Good morning sunshine!" Gabumon exclaimed cheerfully, waiting in the kitchen for Matt, his hair tousled from the rude awakening. "Food, then talk." The boy yawned sleepily and sat down at the table where a small plate of food lay in front of him. "He sounds a lot like Jacob at this hour of the morning." Michael laughed. "He really does, doesn't he?" Chinchilmon nodded easily. The quartet's good mood was quickly spoiled however, by the sound of a heavy knock on the door to the apartment. "Huh?" Gabumon glanced towards the door quickly. "That doesn't make any sense… My dad should have left by now, and he never forgets anything at home…" Matt wondered quietly. "I'll get the door." Michael, already by the door, got up and looked through the small peephole. "Oh no… This isn't good, guys." He turned around and bolstered the door. "What is it?" Chinchilmon asked. "Bakemon. And something tells me that they're not friendly." He responded quickly as the door almost broke. "AGH!" Michael yelled, feeling the power behind the attack.
"We've got to make a quick plan." Matt stood up, his breakfast forgotten. "It's simple. Chinchilmon and I break through the initial crowd and then we go hide somewhere else. I don't want to know what happens if they get hold of us." Gabumon stated simply. "That's right. Are you guys ready? You'll have to get ready to run fast." Chinchilmon nodded determinedly. "As ready as we'll ever be." Michael braced himself as another blow hit the door. "Three… Two… One…" Gabumon counted down. "NOW!" Matt yelled as Michael ran forward, allowing the Bakemon to destroy the door. "BOOOO! Are you coming with us?" The lead Bakemon bustled forward, only to be blasted to the side by Chinchilmon and Gabumon. "BLUE BLASTER!" "TAIL SPIN!" The two attacks from the Rookie digimon smacked the Bakemon to the side, allowing the four of them to run through the gap and out into the hallway, where they quickly began running down the stairs to get to the outside of the apartment.
"We're almost there!" Matt yelled as the main door came into sight from the staircase. "Were you going somewhere?" More Bakemon appeared from the outside world and crowded in front of the four. "NOT TODAY!" Michael yelled and jumped off the stairs, whipping out his knife and slicing in a broad circle, forcing the Bakemon back and allowing Matt, Gabumon, and Chinchilmon to pass through to the outside world. "Come on!" Chinchilmon yelled as Michael followed him through the doors. "Let's head to the old apartment building near the hospital. Maybe we can get Jacob before the Bakemon do." Matt suggested. "Alright. Sounds like a plan to me." Gabumon nodded as the four prepared for their mad dash across the street to the hospital down the street a few blocks.
Jacob slowly stood up from his bedside. "Something's up." He peeked out the window, expecting to see the Odaiba traffic moving on as usual. "The city isn't moving at all." He turned back to Genomon as he heard noises from the hallway. "The nurse won't be happy if you're not in bed, you know." Genomon nodded slightly as Jacob sighed. "They should've let me out yesterday." He protested. "You know they wanted to do a few tests on you." Genomon hopped up onto the bed himself as the door opened. "Did someone need their medicine?!" A Bakemon entered the room, floating ominously as Jacob stared at the digimon, shocked. "GENOMON!" He yelled as his digivice began to glow. "GENOMON DIGIVOLVE TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CANINMON!" Caninmon growled at the Bakemon standing in the doorway. "HYPER BLAST!" The attack blew that Bakemon into the hallway, where Caninmon and Jacob followed it. "Time to get out of here!" Jacob yelled as he pulled the IV needle out of his arm.
"Have a saline solution!" He took the cart out into the hallway and pushed it into a Bakemon that was reaching for him. "Over here!" Caninmon blasted another Bakemon out of the way as the two began to run down the stairs as fast as possible. "Once we get out of here, make way for Izzy's house." Jacob quickly said, running out of breath. "Right." Caninmon woofed and blasted a Bakemon back out of the building as they neared the exit doors. "I think we make a right as we get out of the building." Jacob tried to remember the directions as they ran through the doors. "Oh, nope! Not that way!" He changed his mind when he saw the mass of Bakemon flying in the street. "Hey! Over here!" Caninmon's powerful ears heard the call and he directed Jacob's attention to it. "It's Izzy and Tentomon! Good timing!" He breathed a sigh of relief as he and his partner ducked into the small alleyway that the other two were hiding out in. "Hey guys. Good to see that you're up and moving again." Izzy pulled out his laptop. "Nice to see you too. What's going on around here?" Jacob asked quickly.
"Well, as you can tell, Myotismon's Bakemon are taking all the people to the convention center for some reason." Izzy began typing away rapidly. "I've messaged the Japanese digidestined, and it seems that the Bakemon have both Mimi and Sora, with Taylor and Ally there as well. Tai, Matt, Sora, TK, and Joe are still out there, trying to avoid the Bakemon, while we're right here." He explained quickly. "Alright… What do we do now?" Jacob asked. "That's a good question." Tentomon buzzed. "Right now, we'd like to rescue Mimi, Sora, Taylor, and Ally, as well as stopping the Bakemon from taking any more people from their homes." He quietly explained. "That sounds like a great plan to me." Jacob, suddenly feeling slightly weak, sat down. "You alright?" Caninmon asked him. "Yeah. Seems like I'm not fully recovered yet." Jacob laughed softly. "Take it easy. We're not going anywhere for a while." Izzy looked at the older teen with concern in his eyes.
"Sora… We're not safe here." Biyomon whispered to the girl, who simply nodded. "Look at all the Bakemon though. We can't exactly do a whole lot." Sora frowned. "Look at all the people who are getting annoyed with this." Ally looked around and saw the many disgruntled faces in the crowd. "Maybe… Just maybe…" Sora began to piece together a plan. "Mimi, Taylor, can you see if anyone has a boombox?" She struck gold with her idea. "There's one right over there… It looks like there was one over there." Taylor pointed over to the corner. "Okay, so here's the plan. We've got to gather up as many people as possible and have them yell into the microphone, 'Bakemon lose your power.'" She smiled confidently. "May I ask why?" Ally did so, very confused. "It's a Buddhist mantra that Joe came up with after Devimon separated he and I from the rest of the group on File Island. It causes the Bakemon to lose their power, which lets us get away more easily." Sora grabbed the boombox and the microphone attached to it. "Mimi, let's go! Time to explain to everyone what's happening."
Mimi nodded and ran to another group. "Palmon and I will go explain to others as well." Taylor volunteered herself. "Roomon, I think we're going to need Kangamon now." Biyomon nodded. "Alright. Let's go Roomon!" Ally cheered. "ROOMON DIGIVOLVE TOOOOOOOOOO KANGAMON!" The kangaroo digimon tried to be quiet to avoid unwanted attention, but was foiled by a nearby Bakemon. "Digivolution?! DIGIDESTINED?! OOOOOOH MYOTISMOOOOON!" It yelled and began running towards the stairs. "Oh no! We've got to get going then!" Biyomon yelled. "MIMI! EVERYONE! YELL 'BAKEMON LOSE YOUR POWER!' WE CAN ESCAPE IF WE KEEP YELLING THAT!" Sora yelled at the top of her lungs as she grabbed the microphone and started running towards the exit. "BAKEMON LOSE YOUR POWER!" Ally yelled as the chant was slowly picked up by the crowd in the convention center.
"BAKEMON LOSE YOUR POWER!" The chant shook the center as Sora, Mimi, Taylor, Ally, and their partners reached the door. "Almost there…" Taylor pushed through the doors first, holding them open as Sora, Mimi, and Ally followed through. "COME ON EVERYONE!" Sora yelled through the boombox as the chant continued. The crowd began to make its way through the doors as the Bakemon lay on the ground, twitching in pain. "ENOUGH OF THIS!" Another voice growled in anger. "DIABOLIC STAR!" A ball and chain imbued with dark energy slammed into the boombox, destroying it instantly and stunning Sora. "RUN!" She screamed as a mysterious digimon flew in front of her. "Hah! Run from me, puny mortals!" The digimon laughed. "What digimon is that?!" Mimi shrieked as her digivice activated. "Phantomon is an ultimate level digimon who works for Myotismon! He collects various items and entities for Myotismon, which can range from souls, to little children." Palmon's eyes widened. "Let's go!" Ally grabbed a hold of Sora and began to run from Phantomon. "Move girl!" Taylor yelled as she, Palmon, and Mimi began to run as well.
"Hah! I'll take care of them later." Phantomon cackled and watched as the Bakemon began to panic at the sight of all of the revolting people fighting back against the ghost digimon. "Hmph. I guess intimidation is necessary. DARKTYRANNOMON!" Phantomon raised his scythe and a massive digimon appeared, standing ominously over the bridge, tunnel, and convention center itself. The large t-rex digimon was very similar to Tyrannomon, except its normal bright red skin had been changed to a pure black color. Phantomon continued to laugh evilly, watching as DarkTyrannomon roared angrily, reaching for a small group of people who had escaped from the convention center.
"NO! STAY AWAY FROM THEM!" Mimi yelled as she saw the evil digimon reach for the group of people. "PALMON, GO GET THEM!" She pointed as Palmon ran towards DarkTyrannomon. "PALMON DIGIVOLVE TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TOGEMON!" She body slammed into DarkTyrannomon, throwing the digimon back and drawing its attention to her. "HEY! WHY DON'T YOU PICK ON SOMEONE WITH SOME NEEDLE SPRAY?!" The spiny needles only served to annoy DarkTyrannomon, as the enraged digimon punched Togemon, sending the champion digimon back onto the ground. "What even is that…" Mimi gasped as she saw her partner hit the ground. "DarkTyrannomon is a powerful champion level digimon that was originally a Tyrannomon, but was possessed by a virus and thus causing it to lose its sense of reason. It's Fire Blast attack will scorch its enemy before they even have time to get to water!" Her digivice read off quickly, and Mimi's eyes widened. "Well, this isn't good." Taylor remarked dryly as Togemon stood up again, only to be the recipient of another punch from DarkTyrannomon.
"MOM! DAD!" Mimi called out as she saw her parents running away from the DarkTyrannomon as well. "Oh sweetie! We were so worried about you!" They hugged her, and stared at Taylor. "Before you ask, that's Palmon up there. She's trying to protect us all." Taylor fielded off the question that she found was inevitably coming. "Can she do it in that form?" Mr. Tachikawa wondered quietly to himself. "She has to. Sora and Ally ran off somewhere, and they're the only ones with an Ultimate form in the area…" Mimi realized quietly. "TOGEMON!" She cried out again as her partner flew over their heads. "HEY! YOU BIG MEANIE DARKTYRANNOMON! WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO JUST SEND PEOPLE FLYING, HEAD OVER HEELS?!" She began walking up to the DarkTyrannomon, only stopped by Taylor. "Not a good idea, Mimi. It would just distract Togemon more, even though that she's getting her butt kicked anyways." Taylor pointed out as Togemon struggled to stand up. "There's got to be something that I can do to help her though!" Mimi protested. "I know, but Togemon is strong. She'll pull something off." Taylor held her back.
"Mimi darling, we've got to get out of here!" Mrs. Tachikawa pulled at her daughter's arm. "I can't mom, not while Togemon is still trying to beat this nasty digimon." Mimi shook her mom off and stared up at her friend, who was exchanging punches with DarkTyrannomon. "GRAH!" DarkTyrannomon dodged one of Togemon's fists and sent the cactus digimon crashing into another building, leaving a crater in it. "TOGEMON!" Mimi screamed as the DarkTyrannomon turned its attention to the small group. "LISTEN, YOU BIG BULLY! YOU ARE SO IN FOR IT NOW!" Mimi got angry, causing her parents to try to calm her down. "Mimi darling, it'll be okay. Someone will come rescue us!" Her dad exclaimed while dodging Mimi's pink hat. "NO!" She yelled, stepping back from her parents. "No?" Mrs. Tachikawa's eyes widened. "No… No more." Mimi hung her head. "I told myself when I got back here, that after all I've been through in the Digital World… I couldn't hide my feelings anymore from anyone. I have to be the purest me that there is. I have to let myself be real and be me." A small tear fell from Mimi's cheek as her Crest began to glow.
"Mimi! Your Crest! Your sincerity is powering it!" Taylor pointed to the Crest as Mimi stared up at DarkTyrannomon. "You have messed with the wrong Mimi and the WRONG FAMILY!" She stomped her foot as Togemon began to glow, as well as Mimi's digivice. "TOGEMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!" The yellow crown-flower on top of Togemon's head began to grow into a bulb while Togemon's eyes and mouth opening flashed a bright yellow color. "DIGIVOLVE TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The bulb changed colors from yellow to a dark pink flower that slowly opened up, revealing a pink fairy with part of a pink lily flower adorning her head. With flower petals surrounding her petit hands, the digimon straightened out and revealed her four leafy wings and lily-like covering that also applied to her shoes. "LILLYMOOOOOOON!" Lillymon struck a pose as flower petals fell down around her.
"Who's ready for some bad guy ownage now?!" Lillymon cheered as she flew around DarkTyrannomon's head, distracting it. "Over here, big boy!" She called to the digimon, appearing behind it, letting Mimi, Taylor, and her parents get away. "FLOWER CANNOOOOOOON!" She put her hands together and let the petals create a cannon that fired off an intense blast of energy, striking DarkTyrannomon's face and causing it to stumble. "There you go big boy!" Lillymon playfully yelled as she flew around the digimon's head again. "I think it's time for you to think about your actions in time out! FLOWER WREATH!" She flew quickly around the DarkTyrannomon as a rope of flowers and vines appeared where she flew. "Hiyah!" She flew downwards and the rope fell as well, tightening itself around the neck and causing DarkTyrannomon's eyes to turn from their blood red to a more peaceable blue color. "That's how we do it!" Lillymon cheered.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" A loud voice roared as Lillymon spun to face Myotismon himself. "Your big bad dinosaur isn't so bad with a pretty collar of flowers on him." She informed the digimon, causing Myotismon to growl angrily. "BEGONE!" He waved his hand at the DarkTyrannomon, which was instantly destroyed. "Well that's not very nice at all! FLOWER CANNON!" Lillymon, having taken offence at the destruction of her flower wreath, went on the offensive. "LILLYMON, BE CAREFUL!" Mimi yelled as Phantomon and five more Bakemon appeared behind her parents, Taylor, and herself. "Uh… Mimi? We've got company!" Taylor's voice rose in alarm as the girls and Mimi's parents spotted Phantomon. "NOW!" One of the Bakemon shouted, and with a quick flourish of white cloth, Sora, Biyomon, Ally, Kangamon, and Mrs. Takenouchi revealed themselves. "SPIRAL TWISTER!" Biyomon surprised Phantomon, allowing Taylor to dodge around the Ultimate level digimon. "Come on Mimi!" She yelled as the girl stood there, frozen in her spot. "I can't leave Lillymon!" She protested, watching her friend do battle with Myotismon in the sky.
"Enough of this! I tire of playing games." Myotismon took another Flower Cannon to the face. "Can't keep up with a little pixie?" Lillymon asked teasingly, noticing that Myotismon was growing tired. "BAH! NIGHTMARE CLAW!" Myotismon yelled, his expression wild, as a ghost appeared from his hands and struck Lillymon, paralyzing the Ultimate instantly and sending her plummeting to the ground. "LILLYMON! NO!" Mimi shrieked as another pair of real Bakemon began to drag her and her mom away. "SORA! Go! Get Lillymon and get out of here!" Mrs. Takenouchi yelled as she wielded the white cloth as a whip against Phantomon. "Biyomon! Digivolve and catch Lillymon!" Sora yelled, running away with both Taylor and Ally from her mom, who was being taken back into the convention center. "BIYOMON DIGIVOLVE TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BIRDRAMON!" The majestic bird quickly caught Lillymon's petrified body as Myotismon flew back into the convention center himself. "GAH!" Sora began to cry as she saw her mom walk back into the convention center, followed by several Bakemon. "Hey, let's not cry now. We've got to get to a safe place before anything else happens." Taylor hugged her as Birdramon landed. "Let's take a ride for now. It'll be faster." Ally suggested, looking up at Birdramon, who simply nodded. "Hang on tight, everyone. I'll see if I can locate Matt, Tai, or Izzy." Taylor took Sora's digivice and started sending out messages. "We almost had everyone…" Kangamon sighed, thinking of Mimi inside the convention center, not knowing that the girl was causing all kinds of ruckus for the Bakemon by throwing shoes at them.
Myotismon has upped the ante once again! With one digimon seemingly out of the picture for now and the powerful Phantomon joining the battle, things have only gotten worse for the Digidestined. How will they best Myotismon when he has almost all of the cards in his hands?
