Zypher: Man, scratch what I said in the last chapter. After so long of not updating, the plot's going to be altered a bit, mainly since I wish to lengthen it out a bit and instead of Siegfried being the last ultimate battle the gang will have to go against, it will something totally different and I'll make sure to have events leading up to it. You will see those changes soon enough. Any who, I thank you guys for enjoying the last chapter so here's another for you.
Note: This will be a hint to what up and coming into future chapters and clear a few things before you ask about them. I know that most digimon are bigger than skyscrapers in the show and most of the gang has those kind of digimon so I'm modifying it so that in the real world, their digimon are about the size of a two story home, possibly smaller if need be, and when I get to the point where they can start traveling to the Digi World, then their digimon will be at the sizes that they are seen in the show.

Later that night, Yugi had everything packed and now was brushing Garurumon's fur. "I'm having this odd feeling that we shouldn't go to this place, Garurumon. What if something happens while we're there?" Yugi questioned. "I'm sure everything will be alright. The race of Digimon only started so there shouldn't be any danger of worrying about any digimon dying unless the tamer is especially vicious. I'm sure we'll be fine there." Garurumon replied. "I hope so. I really don't want to lose you during my first few weeks as a tamer." Garurumon nodded before standing when Yugi finished and climbed into his bed. Yugi left the room with a set of pajamas and once he cleaned up and got dressed, he came back in and laid down in bed, curling up into Garurumon's side.
"Night, Garurumon."
"Goodnight, Yugi."

Early the next morning, everyone met up at the airport where the man was to come for them. Yugi looked to Ruby whose Veemon digivolved into ExVeemon, Bakura's DemiDevimon digivolved to Devimon and Guilmon who digivolved to Growlmon. "Hey, Ruby. Have you've been training lately?" Yugi asked. "Yes. We may not know what to expect at this person's home and if he challenges us to a battle, at least we can be prepared for it." he replied and Yugi nodded. 'He does have a point. And I haven't been keeping up with Garurumon's training too well. Hopefully if we do get invited for a battle, he can handle himself.' Yugi thought before the man arrived and they boarded the private jet that was made specially to carry so much weight of the passengers and digimon together and were on their way to Siegfried's mansion.
It was at least two days before they reached the large mansion sitting on its own private island and from the jet, they could see that the mansion was huge and there even was a training center for digimon sitting in the back. "Man, this guy must have tons of money." Jou whispered, Devidramon nodding in agreement as the jet landed on the pad and they stepped out. The double doors at the front of the mansion opened and out came Siegfried, smiling to them. "Ah, welcome. I have heard quite a lot from you all at the Battle Arena that opened in Domino. I would love to test that strength with my own digimon but he's in intensive training right now."
"Intensive training? What would that be?" Seto questioned, the name of it already irking him a bit.
"That would be my little secret but, in any case, come on in. If you wish, your digimon can head to the back and train." he spoke. They nodded as they followed him. "I'm having some thoughts about this intensive training he speaks of. What could it be and could it be something that could bring harm to his own digimon so much that it could pass away?" Seto whispered. "Maybe if we think on a course of action, one of us or our digimon can snoop around and see what he speaks of." Ruby replied quietly and Seto nodded as they reached the back where sets of training equipment more elaborate that Seto's sat. Each one had a sign, speaking of what it does and what stats it would bring up after a set amount of time with working on it.
"Please, use this to your heart's content. I wouldn't want your digimon to be weak, especially if it could deal with something much stronger than anyone could imagine." They nodded again before Siegfried left them alone, saying that he would have someone come and pick them up for dinner. "Well, I guess since he's letting us use his training center, let's use it to our heart's content. At least we'll have stronger, possibly ultimate form digimon before we leave here." Diamond suggested and they agreed as they sent their digimon to work with whatever training device they wanted to work with. As it got late, a maid came, announcing that dinner was waiting for them and were led to the dining room where a huge spread awaited them. On another table was food for the digimon, containing meats, fruits and vegetables for them.
They sat down and started to eat quietly, a boy soon coming in with his Leormon. He looked to the group and then to Siegfried. "Who are they, nii-san?" he asked softly. "They're guests at the mansion. Treat them nicely, Leon." he explained, watching him and Leon saw the gleam in his eyes. His eyes spoke volumes, to not speak a word of his own digimon and the rigorous training it went through currently. Leon nodded slowly, letting Leormon down so he could go eat before sitting at the table. They continued to eat silently, not a word being spoken before they were done and the maids cleared the table. "Well, if you wish, you can still train. If not, I'll be glad to lead you to your rooms that you will be spending the week in." Siegfried spoke and they agreed to his offer, knowing that they were done for today and still have to come up with a plan about Siegfried's digimon and the intensive training that its going through.
Leon watched them go before giving a slight prayer of faith that his brother wouldn't cause them to go against Pokyupamon anytime during their stay.

"So, what's the plan?" Jou asked as they all gathered in one room after dropping their bags off into their separate rooms. "Well, the only people who can do any sort of snooping are Devimon and Devidramon since they have dark scales and skin. They can easily blend into shadows if someone happens to walk by." Aqua pointed out and they nodded. But what they didn't know was that someone else had the same plan in mind.

Outside, a girl with long brunette hair scaled along the outer wall, trying to look for a window to get inside that led to an empty room. Behind her was a white, bipedal cat that had two purple tuffs of fur on the tips of her ears and ringlets around her tail the same shade of purple with a tuff of fur at the tip. Over her front paws were two light green gloves with orange stripes and the last accessory that was highly noticeable was a gold ring with strange markings on her tail, loose but never moving.
The girl finally found a window and opened it with ease before slipping inside followed by the cat digimon. "Ready, Gatomon?" She nodded and both left out the room and started down the hallway to find the lab where Pokyupamon was kept.

Siegfried was in said room, watching as Pokyupamon tore through the dummy, practicing his attacks. "Soon, real soon." he whispered before turning when he heard someone come in. "Nii-san, you won't hurt the guests' digimon, will you?" Siegfried turned to Leon and smirked. "That's doesn't depend on me. It depends on how strong their digimon are. If they're strong, they won't be hurt. If not, then their digimon might just pass away under Pokyupamon's power." Leon frowned, hearing his brother laugh afterwards before leaving out with Leormon. Hazel eyes looked down to the young rookie. "We need to warn them. I should've done so earlier but I was hoping that he would listen. But he's too power hungry and with a powerful champion digimon like Pokyupamon surely to digivolve within the week, we need to get them out of here." Leon explained quietly and Leormon nodded before both left the room.

The girl and Gatomon continued to sneak through hallway after hallway, hiding when needed before continuing their quest. Devidramon and Devimon were doing the same and soon, the two groups met up by chance and the two champions prepared to fight. "Who are you?" Devidramon demanded, both pairs of eyes narrowed. "That's none of your business. Where are your tamers?" she shot back, Gatomon hissing angrily and clenching her paws, ready to fight when given the call. "They're waiting for us in a room to come back with a report." Devimon snapped before raising a hand into the air. "But we'll be willing to fight if need be if you plan to hinder our mission."
"Fine with me. Go, Gatomon! Lightning Paw!" Gatomon dashed forward at blinding speeds, catching Devidramon off guard as she got a punch to his chest. He stumbled back before gaining balance and used Crimson Claw. Gatomon dodged but couldn't maneuver from Devimon's Death Claw. She yowled as she was flung back but jumped right back up again and came at them with a Lightning Kick, catching Devimon's chin before turning, hitting Devidramon right in one of his eyes with her tail causing him to howl in pain, the gold ring on her tail being the major impact of her attack. Devidramon growled, one of his eyes closed after Gatomon's last attack before charging at her, teeth bared and ready to bite down. "Devidramon! Forget it! We need to get moving if we want to find out anything about this intensive training the guy was talking about!" Devimon called and he halted his charge, turning to the other virus type digimon and nodded. "You're right." he murmured and the girl looked to them. "Wait, you two are looking for the lab too?" she asked and they looked to her. "Lab? What lab?" Devidramon asked.
"There's a lab in here. I've learned a bit about this guy. Siegfried is trying to create the ultimate digimon, better known as the Demon Lord of all digimon. He's putting that digimon through intensive training to make it stronger and build up its power to make it nearly invincible. Since this game is only a few weeks new, no need for him to have the most powerful digimon in the world in his hands only to send it out to massacre every digimon it comes across." she explained as they looked to one another. "Well, this is more serious than it looks. Clearly wasn't coincidence that we were suddenly invited here. He must be planning to use us for his next experiment with testing his digimon's strength." Devidramon concluded. "So it would be best for you guys to get out of here as soon as possible. I'm going to search a bit more and see if there's any possible way to stop him from what he's planning to do. While I'm doing this, you must use every spare moment you need to get out of here without making it obvious you know of his plan." she said and they nodded. "We thank you for telling this to us. Saves us a lot of searching." Devimon spoke. "Yeah. And we best apologize for causing problems." She smiled.
"No need to. I thought you were some sort of guards or something."
"Yeah, same here."
After getting the girl's name, they were off back to the room where the rest of the group waited while Keara and Gatomon continued their search for the lab.

"So, that's what he's planning." Yami whispered when Devimon and Devidramon came back with the bad news. "Then we need to get out of here before he tries to challenge us with this ultimate digimon he's trying to breed." Diamond spoke. "But we can't let Keara do this alone. I say we stay long enough to help and if we can dismantle Siegfried's plan before he challenges us, then we can get out of here quickly." Yugi piped and Yami looked to him. "Are you sure, Yugi? This could be a battle that could cause you to lose Garurumon. Are you sure you want to risk it?" he asked. "I'm sure." he replied softly before looking to the ground. "At first, I was afraid to battle, not wanting to lose my digimon. But now, if I don't do something to help here, many people, including myself, could lose their digimon to Siegfried's. I don't want that to happen." he murmured, looking to him. Yami smiled and nodded. The other smiled as well and Ryou walked over, placing a hand over his shoulder. "You definitely changed, Yugi, but we're all happy for that change. We didn't want you to be left out from battling other digimon. I'm sure that Garurumon will become a powerful digimon with you as his tamer." Ryou spoke and Yugi smiled.
"Thanks, Ryou."
Yami smiled, his heart aflutter as he watched Yugi be overwhelmed with such determination for saving all digimon and their tamers. 'Hopefully not including that girl.' he thought to himself, detesting the girl more than ever with everything she tried to do all for attracting his attention to her. "Well, it's getting late. We should all head back to our rooms and see what happens tomorrow." Ruby suggested. They agreed before filing out Kaiser's room and headed back to their own. Aqua accompanied Yugi to his and opened the door for him. Garurumon walked in and Yugi was about to do the same when Aqua held him back. "Yugi, would you like to spend the day with me training tomorrow?" he asked.
"Sure."
Aqua smiled. "Great. We'll leave out after breakfast and maybe if we do enough training to up his stats properly over the week, he will digivolve." Yugi nodded. "That would be nice. Anyway, goodnight." Yugi whispered as he left for his room but he was turned around and Aqua placed a soft kiss upon his lips. "Goodnight, little one." he whispered, smiling at the full flush over his face before leaving for his room. Yugi tentatively placed a hand over his mouth, lips tingling before smiling and walked into his room, smiling widely. Garurumon looked to him before chuckling. "Something good happen, little tamer?" he asked. "You don't know how good." he murmured and Garurumon chuckled again before standing and walked over to him. He picked him up by the collar of his shirt and took him over to the bed, placing him down gently before covering him after he removed his shoes and laid down at his bedside. "Night, Yugi."
"Night."
The lights were turned off and both were out quickly, Garurumon dreaming about his next chance in battle to prove he wasn't weak to anyone and Yugi dreaming about the time he would spend with Aqua the next day, not a chance to be hindered by the appearance of Anzu.
