Here we are with chapter 15 early! As much as I don't like breaking the pace, I didn't want to make you people wait two weeks for the next chapter. Chapter 16 will be up next Sunday, but enough about that.

Lunick's group waited with Whamon and MegaKabuterimon on the pathway leading to the mysterious mansion. It wasn't long before Raikou and Suicune arrived with Ben, Summer, Takumi, Ami, Chitose and Rand. Close behind Cyberdramon flew in with Ryuji and Keith. Darkdramon and ShineGreymon followed with Arata and Yuuko.

"You're here." Solana said.

"The mansion is just up ahead?" Ryuji asked as he and Keith landed.

Ben nodded before he noticed the woman with Keisuke's group. "Blue Eyes!?"

The woman smiled and waved casually. "It's been a while."

"So, you're the one spying on Team One World?" Rand asked.

"Call it retribution. Team One World consists of Pinchers after all. They don't know that one of the Pokemon Pinchers Commanders is working in their group."

"Let's try to keep it that way." Arata said. "You're seriously playing with fire, you know that?"

"Hey, that just adds a bit of mystery!" Chitose said. "Who doesn't like a girl with guts?"

Blue Eyes smirked. "Thanks, but flattery will get you nowhere."

"That's fifteen." Yu grinned.

"As in fifteen times I'm about to thump you maybe." Chitose muttered.

"Amun's mansion is just down this path." Summer said. "The gate up ahead is closed, but there's a path around it to the right."

"Why not just fly over it?" Yu asked.

"Uh…Good point Yu." Ben muttered. "Why didn't we think of that the first time?"

"Well, no point in harping over that now." Yuuko said. "Let's hurry."

Keith nodded. "Kellyn and Kate had to rescue me once. It's time I paid them back! And I'm not the only one eager to save them!"

The Pokemon with him nodded. "Pa!"

"Star!"

"Kellyn and Kate's Partner Pokemon…" Sonala said. "They must be worried sick."

"Then let's go get them." Takumi said walking ahead. "There's no time to waste!"

Most of the team started walking ahead, but the six Pokemon Rangers in the group stayed to do one important thing first… "Mission on!"

"Uh…" Rythmi groaned as she started to stir. She was in a sitting position. She was in a chair. She tried to move out of instinct but found herself pinned down by something. "Ow…" As her blurry vision started to straighten out, she could see her lap. Her thighs were tied together in rope. When her vision was restored, she could tell something else was off. Instead of her usual Operator dress, she had a pair of familiar blue shorts on, a pair of brown boots, a green top, and a yellow tie. She couldn't tell with her wrists trapped behind her back, but she was also wearing blue, fingerless, gloves. "What the…?"

"Rythmi?"

The girl gasped when she heard a voice and glanced to her left. It was Kellyn. And he was also tied to a chair rather securely. His wrists tied behind the backrest, his upper arms and torso tied to it, his legs were tied together by the thighs, shins and ankles, with the ankle binds tethered to the front legs of the chair by short extended ropes. What's more is that he was also in different cloths. "K-Kellyn?!"

"Are you alright?"

"I think so…Wait a minute…" Rythmi got a good look at what Kellyn was wearing. A blue top and pants with the same brown boots, green long sleeve vest, gloves and yellow tie Rythmi currently had on. She saw him dressed like this before. She then took another look at herself. She was dressed nearly identically to him except she had short shorts instead of baggy pants. "This is...the Ranger School Uniform. Why are we wearing these?"

"Ngh…" Rythmi heard a groan from her right and saw Kate tied to a chair next to her with the same cloths she currently wore on. Kate and Rythmi were tied up the same way Kellyn was. "Huh? W-what's going on?!"

"Kate! I-I don't know! I remember we were coming out of the Wireless Tower when Team One World ambushed us…"

"Wait…" Kate looked at her lap. "I think it's coming back…we had the upper hand until those Tangrowth grabbed us…I felt really embarrassed…"

"Yeah." Kellyn muttered in shame. "They knocked us out with Sleep Powder."

"Wait, what about Keith?! And your Partners?!" Rythmi asked.

"I got Keith out of there, but I don't know about Stary, Pachirisu and Buizel. What is this place?" Kate looked around. It was an old and abandoned room. There was a desk on the far end.

"I don't know." Kellyn replied.

Kate grunted as she tried to struggle free. "Hrmp! Ugh! They tied us too tight!"

"Of course, we did." Kellyn, Kate and Rythmi's heads snapped up when they head a voice. A man walked over to the desk. He had strange blond hair, black pants, a purple tie, a white blazed and a red vest on top. "It wouldn't do for you students to get loose and start running in the halls."

Kellyn growled. "Kincaid. You really did get out."

The man laughed. "As if a few minor setbacks would keep me from my ambitions. At any rate, class is now in session. It would seem Keith decided to skip today. Ah, what a hopeless kid he is."

"What are you up to now?" Kate growled. "Are you working for Team One World?"

"That's right. After my escape, Ice contacted me and invited me into this new team."

"What are you planning this time you jerk?!" Rythmi asked.

"And what does your boss want with some ancient armor?" Kellyn added.

"What the boss wants is his concern. I couldn't care less so long as I could get my hands on you bad children."

"You're still bitter about that?" Kate sighed. "Did you forget what Hastings said? You lost because of the darkness in your heart! If it wasn't me, Kellyn and Keith, someone else would have done it!"

"No! I refuse to believe that! My plans were all flawless! If only you brats weren't always in my way! Back in prison something occurred to me. You may recall that my front as a teacher I convinced students to join my team. Then I wondered what if I persuaded…you."

"Excuse me?" Kellyn asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course. You went to the school I worked at. There was a good opportunity that I let slip through my fingers. With you in my ranks Team Dim Sun would have been unstoppable."

"As if we'd ever stoop to working for you!" Rythmi glared.

"Oh, believe me, I know you won't bend to my will as easily as my previous pawns." Kincaid laughed. "That's why I had you brought here."

"Where the heck is here anyway?" Kate asked as she took another look around. "This place looks old."

"Apparently this is the mansion owned by Amun."

"Amun…" Kellyn muttered. "I remember. The Pokemon Pinchers were after a book he wrote. "Legends of the Oblivia Region" I believe the Professor called it."

Kincaid laughed again. "One of my new students has a sharp memory. That is good, that is very good, that will benefit your education well."

"Don't tell me that's why you bothered to put on your lousy teacher disguise." Kate groaned. "And dressed us up in the Ranger school uniform."

"Before you say anything, I had two females in our group dress you and Rythmi."

"Thanks." Rythmi muttered. "At least you have some degree of respect."

"It could be worse." Kellyn said. "He could have dressed us like Team One World."

"Or worse still." Kate said. "He could have dressed us up in those ugly Team Dim Sun uniforms." Kellyn and Rythmi nodded immediately.

"What's wrong with our design?!" Kincaid growled.

"Oh, where do I begin?" Kate snickered taking satisfaction in the annoyed and angry look at her old enemy's face.

"Someone's asking for detention later."

"Detention? You already tied us to chairs in an empty room, what else can you do to us?"

"Funny you should ask…" Kincaid snapped his fingers and two members of Team One World brought a monitor into the room and set it onto the desk in front of him. "It's time to start your first lesson." He took out a Controlvice and pressed a button. The monitor turned on and the screen showed a big, purple swirl.

"What's that supposed to be?" Kate asked. "Do whatever you want, Kincaid! We'll never surr…surr…"

"Wha…?" Rythmi's eyes were locked to the screen. "Head…foggy…can't…look away…"

"Observant." Kincaid laughed. "I prepared it just for you. A little hypnosis and soon you three will be my minions."

"Ngh!" Kellyn shut his eyes and turned his head away.

"No!" Kate yelled as she did the same. "I won't be your puppet!"

Rythmi couldn't look away, but she still fought. "Won't…listen…must…fight it…"

"My, my, what a lack of discipline." Kincaid sighed. "Gag these brats, and then make them gaze into the screen." The two One World grunts walked over to the captives and took out three white cloths. One of them tied one over Rythmi's mouth before doing the same to Kate. After that he grabbed her head and forced it to face the monitor before prying her eyes open. The other goon did the same to Kellyn. Soon both of them could no longer muster the strength to look away. Kincaid smirked as he watched the light fade in the eyes of his three captives. "Very good. You can let them go now." The One World Grunts didn't respond. "Hello? Did you hear me? Let their heads go!" He walked over to one of them and pulled off his visor. The man's eyes became a purple swirl just like the screen. They must have gazed at it themselves. Kincaid brought a hand over his forehead and sighed. "Ugh! Why do I even bother with these nitwits? Well, once these three are under my control I'll finally have some competent pawns."

"Hey, Kincaid." Lavana walked into the room. "Oh, finally started with the brats' "education" huh?"

"You shall address me as "sir" Lavana!"

"Um, hello? You're not my boss anymore." Lavana ignored Kincaid's snarling and looked at the Rangers and their Operator in their trance. "Soon we can start bossing these annoying kids around. Can't wait! Especially after how much they humiliated me!" the woman laughed, lightly tapping Kate's forehead.

"Sir!" Another member of Team One World ran in. "A group of Rangers and Digimon Tamers is heading this way!"

"What?!" Kincaid growled. "How'd they find us so fast?!"

"Oh great." Lavana snorted. "Of all the inconvenient times too!"

"Lavana, get these three elsewhere and continue their lesson."

"With pleasure!"

Kincaid turned off the screen and Kellyn, Kate and Rythmi made muffled gasps with their gags on and slumped into their seats. The two One Worlds that gagged them blinked. "Huh? What just happened?"

"Commander Lavana? When did you get here?"

"Not now! You three grab these brats and follow me!"

"Yes ma'am!" The three One World grunts untied the ropes connecting the kids ankle bindings to the front legs of their chairs and the rope wrapping around them and the backrests but left the remainder of the ropes keeping them restrained where they were. The three of them were lifted off their chairs and each hoisted over a goon's shoulder and Lavana lead them out of the room. Kate Kellyn and Rythmi mumbled into their gags and slightly fidgeted into their bonds.

Kincaid swiftly discarded his teacher disguise and donned his black coat with the oversized collar and put on his shades. "Time to give our uninvited guests a warm welcome. And what better way then with our recent graduates?"

Ben walked towards the old gate with the rest of the team following. "There's the gate. Just on the other side is Amun's mansion."

"I gotta say, it's a weird place to set up for a hideout." Yu said.

"Ami…" Arata looked at his friend. "Are you sure you'll be alright going back there?"

"Thanks, Arata, but I'll be fine." The red-headed girl replied. "If I have you, Palmon, and my brother with me I have nothing to fear. Besides, Kate, Kellyn and Rythmi are in danger. I can't afford to be scared."

Blue Eyes chuckled. "I could feel the confidence in those words. You've grown up quite a bit since that time we fought at the mansion as enemies. You're not that scared little girl anymore."

"Thanks, Blue Eyes."

"Oh, that's right, be carful when you go in gang." Ben said. "Last time I was here, Murph, Yuugo, Fei, Nokia and I had to doge floating plates and vases."

Those new to the team stopped behind Ben to stare awkwardly. "I'm sorry, what?" Ryuji asked with an eyebrow raised.

Just then the gate burst open. Kincaid stormed over to them. "How annoying. I have better things to be doing then entertaining children."

"Kincaid!" Keith snarled.

"So, this is Kincaid." Ami said.

The man spotted Blue Eyes. "Oh, wonderful. Now we have ex-leaders of a washed-up team interfering?"

"That's pretty big talk coming from the failed boss of team Dim Sun." Blue Eyes replied.

"Where are Kellyn Kate and Rythmi?!" Ben glared.

"Beginning their education." Kincaid replied. "Would you like a little sneak preview of what will become of them?" He snapped his fingers and ten members of Team One World came over. "These are graduates of Team One World's new education plan. Members that either failed their mission or showed signs of wavering in their duties." He walked over to one of them and took of his visor. His eyes were glowing purple.

"Wh-what's with him?" Solana shuddered.

"Kincaid…what did you do to him?" Lunick asked.

"The boss wasn't satisfied with simply controlling Pokemon and Digimon since it does little when their controllers lack competence. Therefore, he came to a conclusion. What if we could control them as well? It's the perfect plan. No whining, no breaks, no arguing, they become perfect solders." Kincaid put the man's visor back on. Takumi and Ami's eyes widened as their fists clenched.

"How could you do something so inhumane?!" Yuuko asked. "To your own subordinates!"

"Why? Why not? They're my pawns, why shouldn't I do whatever I like to them. Just like Pokemon and Digimon. They're simply tools to use to my liking."

"How can you say that!?" Summer yelled. "And now Kellyn and the others…?!"

"Oh, they're putting up quite a bit of resistance, but rest assured we'll have them under control soon." Kincaid snickered. He took out his Controlvice and a Drapion appeared along with a Boltmon. The ten members of Team One World each brought out a Swoobat and a black version of Birdramon. Every one of them had purple eyes.

Arata scanned them. "Saberdramon. Champion Level Vaccine. Shrouded in black flames and has a rough temperament. Swoobat. Flying/Psychic Type. It emits sound waves through its nose that can even destroy rocks."

"Look at their eyes…" Yu muttered. "He did the same thing to all of their Digimon and Pokemon too."

"That's right." Kincaid laughed. "And soon your friends will be also slaves for Team One World! And there's nothing you can do to stop it!"

As Kincaid laughed out loud Ben glared at him. "You sick creep! I won't let that happen! Takumi, we need to take them out quick, any ideas? …Takumi?"

Everyone looked at Takumi and Ami. Their heads were tilted down as they trembled. "Guys? What's wrong?" Keisuke asked.

"Ha! Petrified with fear already?" Kincaid cackled. "Taking down the Cyber Sleuths will be even easier than I thought! How could Ice and Lavana lose to-

Takumi's head snapped up and his eyes were red. "KINCAID YOU SCUM!"

Ami looked up with red eyes as well. "YOU'LL PAY!"

A black aura burst around the twins who roared in anger as Terriemron and Palmon screamed in pain. "Oh no…" Ben shuddered.

"What's happening?!" Chitose asked.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Error... D*IG#IVO)L/UTI(ON+-...

"Terriermon…Double Warp Digivolve to…BlackMegaGargomon!"

"Palmon…Double Warp Digivolve to…BanchoLillymon!"

Kincaid started to tremble. "Wh-what is this?!"

"Guys?" Lunick shuddered. "What's going on with Takumi and Ami?"

Takumi glared at Kincaid even as he spoke to someone else. "Ben…take the others and find Kellyn, Kate and Rythmi. Take the side path around the gate. We'll clean up this trash."

"Guys, that's too reckless." Keith said.

"He's right." Rand said. "We can defeat them together and then all look for-

"JUST SHUT UP AND GO!" Ami barked.

The others shuddered. "…Okay." Ben muttered. "Come on guys, this way." He led the team to the path on the right.

Kincaid stepped back and scowled. "I-is that supposed to scare me?! Crush them!"

Boltmon roared as it charged at BlackMegaGargmon and swung its axe down. The Digimon effortlessly caught it with one hand. He then punched the Digimon in the face with the other. Drapion shot a horde of purple needles at BanchoLillymon who moved around all of them with frightening speed and then threw her yoyo into it's face so hard it flew.

On the top of the gate, a hidden camera zoomed in.

In a dark room the masked leader of Team One World watched on monitors as BanchoLillymon pulled back her yoyo and BlackMegaGargomon snapped Boltmon's axe in half. He looked at Takumi and Ami with their red eyes and their hair standing on end. A black aura burned around them. A smile came to his face. "After all this time, they still have it."

Arata put his Digivice away. "There, I messaged Kyoko. Hopefully she and the others can do something about those two."

"What's going on with them anyway?!" Yu asked. "It's like they're possessed!"

"Is this what happened after Dolce Island was destroyed?" Rand asked.

"Yeah…" Ben replied. "Same thing happened when Purple Eyes sent you and Kyoko to another dimension. It must happen when those two get really angry."

"Are we just going to leave them like that?" Keisuke asked.

"Hey man, if you want to try to stop them, by all means go ahead." Keith said.

"I'm sure Kyoko and the others can do something for them." Yuuko said. "For now, let's believe in them and find our friends."

And then they came in front of the mansion. "In all my years living in Oblivia, I've never came here once." Rand said.

"Let's go." Ben went inside. The others followed one by one.

"Yikes…" Keith trembled. "This place is worse than the school at night…"

"Okay, everybody split up." Rand said. "Ben, Keith, Arata, you're with me. Hudie, you guys go look upstairs. Summer, Yuuko, Lunick, Solana, Blue Eyes go left. We'll go right." Everyone nodded before departing in teams of three.

As they went to the right, Rand, Ben, Keith and Arata walked down the halls. "It's quiet…too quiet." Ben said keeping his Styler aimed forward as he glanced around.

"Be carful." Rand said. He pressed a button on his Styler. The Dusclops, the Treecko and the Wooper he caught on the way came out.

"Stop right there!" Two members of Team One World charged in. One had a Meteormon and a Gumshoos. The other had a Gigadramon and a Lombre. "One of our new students is going through an important lesson. No interrupting!"

"New students?" Keith asked.

"Yeah. That friend of yours with the weird, spiked hair."

"Kellyn!"

"Arata and I will distract these two." Rand whispered to Ben. "You and Keith go find the kid."

"Okay."

"Dusclops!" Rand's Ghost Type Pokemon spewed out shadowy clouds around the enemy Pokemon and Digimon. "Go! Now!"

Ben grabbed Keith's arm. "Come on!" They ran past the two One World grunts.

"Hey!" One of them turned around, ready to run after them, then the Wooper spat bubbles at her.

"Arata, you ready?" Rand asked.

"You know it."

"Then here we go! Capture on!"

Ben and Keith ran down the hall. They spotted a door to the right and Ben shoulder charged it open. Inside they saw a One World Grunt. In front of him Kellyn was held up just off the floor by his wrists tied above his head. He was still gagged with his legs tied together. "Kellyn!"

When he heard Keith the member of One World turned around. "Huh?! How did more Rangers get in here?!"

Pachirisu panicked at the sight of his partner in danger. "Pachi!"

Ben was the light fading in Kellyn's eyes. He then saw what his fellow Ranger was gazing at. A monitor glowing purple. "That must be what's hypnotizing him. We gotta shut it down!"

"You'll have to get past me first!" One of the One World Members said as he got out a Digimon and a Pokemon.

Ben scanned them. "Rapidash. Fire Type. It can gallop up to 150 miler per hour. Centalmon Champion Level Data Digimon. It's a prideful Digimon who's body is protected by a strong substance."

Keith stepped forward. "Buizel, get ready. And Pachirisu? Let's smack this jerk down fast and save your partner, shall we?"

"Pachi!" The Pokemon eagerly nodded.

Ben drew a symbol with his Styler. "Go, Guardian Sign! Graveler, come forth!" Two rock Pokemon appeared next to him. "You two deal with that Digimon. Keith and I will calm down the Rapidash!"

"Capture on!" Both Rangers shot their Stylers. Rapidash backed up as they flew towards it and they began to loop around it. It spewed fire from it's mouth and the Rangers pulled back.

"Hunting Cannon!" Centalmon shot a gold blast from its right arm towards the Graveler.

Ben glanced at them and gave his command. "Defense Curl!" The Pokemon tucked themselves in as they took the blast. They were rolled backwards but didn't take much damage. "Rollout!" They then charged back into the Digimon knocking it over. They then jumped onto it.

"Buizel, Aqua Jet!" Keith's Pokemon jumped up and slammed into Centalmon's head, and it shattered.

Ben held his hand out towards the shards, and they went into his Styler. "Nema and the professor's tinkering with the Stylers worked! Now for that Pokemon!"

Pichu played music as the Rangers finished up their capture. "This…this can't be real…" the One World Member muttered.

Keith pushed past him and ran to Kellyn. "Kellyn! Are you alright?! We came to save you!"

"Keith we need to shut that monitor off!" Ben said.

"Ha! Good luck with that!" the One World member snorted. "Only our Commander can shut it off! There's no way to-

"PACHI!"

"PICHU!" Both Ben and Kellyn's Pokemon sent a blast of electricity at the monitor and it exploded.

"…Oh."

Kellyn closed his eyes and let his head drop and Pachirisu jumped onto him and climbed up him until he reached his hands and bit into the rope around his wrists. Ben and Keith caught him as he fell. "Kellyn! Hey, are you alright?!" Keith shook his friend as Ben untied his legs.

"Ngh…" Kellyn slowly opened his eyes. "…Keith…? Ben…?"

"Looks like he's snapped out of it." Ben smiled.

"Thank goodness." Keith nodded. "You okay there, pal? How's your head?"

"Foggy…" Kellyn groaned rubbing his temple.

"Pachi!" Pachirisu jumped into him and nuzzled him.

"Pachirisu! I'm glad you're safe." Kellyn smiled as he petted his partner. "Where are Rythmi and Kate?"

"I was hoping you'd know." Ben replied as the three stood up. "But I think I know who can tell us…"

During the commotion, member of One World tried to tip toe out of the room when the Graveler rolled in front of the door, blocking his way out. "Uh, oh."

Kellyn stormed over to the man, turned him around and grabbed him by his shirt. "Where are my sister and Rythmi?!"

"H-how should I know? Lavana just brought you in here and told me to make sure you were brainwashed."

"Saaaaaar!" Kate's Starly angry pecked at the man.

"Ow! Ow! Not the face, not the face!"

"You better tell the bird where her partner is." Keith said. "Or you're not going to have a face for much longer!"

"Okay, okay! Lavana took them to another room! She said she wanted to humiliate the Ranger a bit before her mind turned into mush and she thought she could convince that other girl to join without hypnotizing her!"

"Which room?!" Kellyn glared.

"I-I think she said something about a hidden room! A place full of books!"

"It must be the basement hidden behind that bookshelf." Ben said.

Kellyn threw the grunt into a wall. Pichu then zapped him. "Gaaaaaaaah!" The man dropped to the floor unconscious.

Keith took Kellyn's Styler out of his pocket and handed it over. "You good to go?"

Kellyn attached the gadget to his wrist. "Yeah. Thanks for coming guys. I'm ready to get a little payback on Kincaid once we find Kate and Rythmi."

"If there's anything left of him once Takumi and Ami are done…" Ben muttered.

"Dusclops, Shadow Punch!" One of Rand's Friend Pokemon punched Lombre in the face.

"Dark Roar!" Arata's Digimon obliterated the Digimon One World had and Arata's Digivice absorbed the shards.

Gumshoos came charging towards them when it took a blast of lightning from behind. "Huh?!" The grunts looked behind them to see Ben, Keith and Kellyn return. "Oh, great."

Ben punched one of them to the ground as Kellyn kneed the other in the face. All the while, Keith and Rand tamed Gumshoos with their Stylers.

"Kellyn!" Rand ran over to them with Arata walking up behind. "I'm glad you're okay."

"Thanks, but we still need to find Rythmi and Kate."

"The goon that was watching him said Lavana took them to Amun's hidden library." Ben said. "Summer's team went in that direction."

"Let's see if we can catch up and help them then." Arata said. Everyone nodded before running off to help their friends.
