Chapter 11: Digimon Are Bravo! The Boy Who is Allergic to Girls!
Not long after dealing with the Goblinmon and returning the vending machine to working order, our heroes made the trip back to the real world and regroup with Twoearle. Upon arriving back in the real world, Twoearle was waiting for them while trying to make sure she doesn't slip on the wet floor of soda.
"Hey guys, welcome back." Twoearle greeted "Sorry about the mess, I didn't have much time to tidy up. I would've had time to clean up if you called first." Everyone chuckled at her joke while the CPUs were confused. "But in all seriousness, what happened in there? Were you able to stop the Digimon that were causing trouble?"
"Not to worry, we've got them." Ling answered with a smile and wink. "Turns out there were some Goblinmon trashing the Digital Space inside the vending machine, but we took them down with no problems." She looks around at the mess. *But I guess that still didn't keep it from making such a big mess… How are we going to clean all this and explain it to Kyoko?"
"You guys go on ahead to the office, I'll catch up later." Satoru told them. "I'll let the janitor know about the mess, but I'll make sure not to tell him what really caused the mess. Tell Kyoko-nee that I'll be a little late." Everyone nodded as they headed back to the office while he heads to find the janitor.
"Hey, why did he call Kyoko 'Kyoko-nee'?" Uni asked in confusion. "Are they like related to each other or something?"
"Oh right, we never told you about that yet." Char remembered something important. "And yes, you are right about them being related as they are cousins. His mother is the younger sister of Kyoko's father and they both ran the Kuremi Detective Agency, the same one we're all apart of." Her friends all nodded in agreement.
"Cousins, huh? I can definitely see the resemblance between them." Noire said in amazement. "They both do have blonde hair and black eyes, but his skin's a little dark compared to hers. I suppose he's been outside more, hasn't he?"
"Yeah, that's right. He's been outside more than Kyoko." Twoearle answered "Mostly because she has to deal with some other business with an old friend of theirs while he deals with the field work. Of course, this was long before I came into the picture and later everyone else." The IS pilots all nodded in agreement.
"Oh, is that so, Twoearle?" Vert asked with a devious smirk. "And may I ask how did you come into their lives, Twoearle? What was it that causes you to draw towards our little Detective boy?" Everyone all looked at Twoearle as she blushed.
"I-It's a long story, b-but I'm not ready to reveal it yet." Twoearle answered with a stutter. "I'm really sorry, it's just something personal to me. But don't worry, once I'm ready, I'll reveal everything to you." Her friends all decided to leave it at that and continued on towards the office.
A little later after splitting up with Satoru, our heroes made their way back to agency on the 1st floor. Once they've arrived at the office, they've opened the door and entered into the office where Kyoko was still sitting at her desk and reading a newspaper to pass the time until she noticed everyone had returned.
"Kyoko, we're back from our day off." Ichika greeted. "We showed Neptune and her friends everything Nakano has to offer and took a little break." Everyone nodded in agreement as Kyoko puts the newspaper down on her desk.
"I can definitely see that, Ichika. Welcome back, everyone." Kyoko smiled "I trust that everyone went smoothly and had no complications?" She then noticed their clothes were covered in stains. "What happened to your clothes? They're all covered in stains. And where is Satoru?"
"That's the thing, we did run into some trouble during our day off." Tatenashi answered with a sigh. "After we showed Neptune and her friends around Nakano, we stopped at a vending machine for a drink, but it just started going haywire and all the soda cans came rushing out. Some of them even started spraying and that's how we go stains on our clothes."
"I see, so that's what all the commotion was about earlier." Kyoko nods in understanding. "I've heard some people saying some kids were tampering with the vending machine on the 2nd floor. I knew they were talking about all of you, but I didn't think you'd do anything like that. So what really happened with the vending machine on the 2nd floor?"
"We had to deal with some Goblinmon messing around from inside the vending machine." Houki answered her. "It was also during our battle with them that Neptune and her friends all transformed into these forms and helped us take out all the Goblinmon. Once they were all taken care of, we came back to the real world and came back here while Satoru goes to get the janitor."
"I see, that's good to hear." Kyoko said with a smile. "I knew you kids weren't the cause of all that commotion up there. Still, I'm glad everything was taken care of and now all that's to do is wait for Satoru to return." Right on cue, Satoru enters the office and closes the door behind him.
"Hey guys, I'm back. Sorry for the hold up." Satoru greeted. "I had to calm the janitor down because he was having a meltdown at the mess with all of the soda cans. Luckily, I was able to calm him down and he got to clean up the mess so he should be done in a couple of minutes. So, what did I miss?"
"Not much, just telling Kyoko about what happened." Ling answered him with a smile. "We told her about what had happened during our day off and that was about it." She turns to the rest of her friends. "And since that our day off's over, I think it's time we head for home. I definitely need a shower to wash off all that soda from my clothes before it sets in." Everyone nodded in agreement until the CPUs stepped in.
"That's all fine and good, but there's just one problem here…" Noire frowned as she placed her hands on her hips. "Where are we going to live in? We're not in our cities anymore and I don't think any of the currency we have would work here. Do you guys know where we can sleep in?" Everyone stopped and realized she was right.
"That's a good question." Houki agrees as she pondered about this. "Most of us are living at the academy and I'm not sure how we can pay for any hotels. How are we going to figure this one out?"
"I've got an idea, why don't Neptune, her sister and friends all stay with Ichika?" Char suggested with a smile. "Since Chifuyu-sensei's out for a business trip, they can stay at his house. That way, they won't get into trouble and we can pick them up after school."
"Yeah, not a bad idea, Char." Ichika agrees, smiling at her which made her blush. "I can set up sleeping bags for them and they can sleep in the living room. Of course, I may need to get more groceries for not just me, but them as well. I'll do some shopping at some point."
"Then it's settled, our new friends will be sleeping at Ichika's place." Kyoko said with a smile. "Until we can find a way back home for them, they'll be helping us in cases and be officially be part of the Cyber Sleuths." Everyone nodded in agreement as she looks at her watch. "Well, it's about time for us to close up today. When tomorrow comes, we'll see what comes up then." Everyone nodded in agreement as they left the office and headed for home.
After leaving Nakano and dropping off everyone else, Ichika brought the CPUs to his home for them to have a place to sleep. Upon arriving, Ichika unlocks and opens the door and leads them into his house, but not before telling them to take off their shoes and leave them at the front door and having them wear slippers before making their way to the living room.
"Well ladies, here we are. Welcome to my home." Ichika smiled "I'm sure you girls will be comfortable living here until we find a way to get you home. So I take it you like my home?"
"Yep, you bet we do, Ichika!" Ram agrees with a grin. "I can't believe you have this house all to yourself! It's pretty cool!" Her sisters and fellow CPUs all nodded in agreement as they looked around his home.
"Glad you know you all like it." Ichika smiled as he placed his hands on his hips. "You can sleep here in the living room since it's the biggest room in the house. Some of you can sleep on the sofa, but the rest of you might have to sleep on the floor. Good thing I've got some sleeping bags just for this occasion."
"But are you sure your parents are okay with this, Ichika?" Vert asked in concern. "I mean since we're guests, I thought it be okay if we can hear from them. Do you know where they are?" Ichika stopped in his tracks as he lowers his head.
"I don't think you'll be hearing from them…" Ichika sighed sadly "They've abandoned me and my big sister Chifuyu years ago. Of course, I don't really remember them very much, but Chifuyu hates them and always avoids the question whenever I ask her about them." The CPUs all see him clutching his hand into a fist as a small tear trails down from his eye.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was a sensitive subject..." Vert apologized as she lowered her head down a bit. "I thought that your parents wouldn't mind having us in their home. I apologize for bringing back any painful memories of them."
"It's all right, I know you didn't mean it…" Ichika said with a small but soft smile. "It's always been me and my sister living here, but I didn't really mind it. I did do most of the chores so I know my way the house while I was growing up."
"Still, that doesn't make it right for your parents to just leave you and your sister!" Noire growled in fury at Ichika's parents' actions. "If I find those idiots, I'd beat them into oblivion for leaving their son and daughter to fend for themselves!"
"Make that double for me, Noire!" Blanc agrees with an angry frown. "I'd be more than happy to knock them into the planet's core and make them regret their decision to abandon you!"
"It's all right, you two. I really appreciate it, but you don't have to do that." Ichika reassured them. "Thanks to all my friends I've met over the years, I was able to live the life my sister wanted me to have. If it wasn't for them, I would've been a different person altogether."
"That's good to hear you're happy, Ichika." Nepgear said with a smile. "I'm sure Houki and the others are also glad to have met you as well." Her sister and fellow CPUs all smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, everyone. I really appreciate you all cheering me up." Ichika said in gratitude. "But now, it's about time we headed for bed. We'll have plenty of time to talk tomorrow after school." The CPUs all nodded in agreement as he heads for the closet and takes out some sleeping bags and hands them to his new friends. "Here, you can all sleep with these. I know it's nothing much, but it's all I can do for right now."
"That's okay, I'm sure we can make do." Vert assured him. "Now then, which of us gets to sleep on the sofa while everyone else sleeps on the floor?" Her fellow CPUs all looked at each other.
"So how should we do this?" Noire asked as she crossed her arms and began to think. "How can we decide how many of us can sleep on the sofa while the rest of us sleeps on the floor?" Everyone all starts thinking while Ichika watches them.
"Given to how the curves on all three sides, I'd say only three of us can." Blanc answered her with a nod. "One of us can sleep on each side of the sofa and the rest of us sleeps on the floor. So any thoughts on the matter?"
"How about we all play Rock Paper Scissors?" Neptune suggested, the CPUs were surprised by this while Ichika blinks. "If three of us can survive from each round, then the winners can sleep on the couch."
"That's…actually not a bad idea, Neptune." Noire agrees while showing the white dotted eyes look before returning to normal. "For a minute there, I was afraid you'd pick something stupid again, but you seem to surprise us once again. I don't know whether to be surprised or terrified." Her sister and fellow CPUS all nodded in agreement while Ichika just chuckled. "Anyway, let's get this started." Everyone nodded in agreement as they all got into position.
As the CPUs started playing Rock Paper Scissors, Noire was the winner of the first round and got the left side of the couch. In the second round, Neptune was the winner and gets the center section of the couch. In the third and final round, it was a really close match until Vert came out on top and gets the right section of the couch while everyone else had to sleep on the floor as they got their sleeping bags ready.
"Wow, you girls were really into it." Ichika whistled in amazement. "That was the most intense game of Rock Paper Scissors I've ever seen. I didn't think it could be that insane."
"You'd be surprised with what we went through, Ichika." Uni said with a smirk. "We had to deal with tons of crap going against us for one reason or another, but we were able to kick their asses in the end." Her older sister and fellow CPUs all nodded in agreement. "By the way, where will you be sleeping, Ichika?"
"My room's upstairs on the second floor." Ichika answered her. "It's on the left of the stairs so if you ever need anything, I'm right there." The CPUs all nodded as he takes out his Digivice and looks at it. "Hmm…"
"What's up, boy wonder?" Neptune asked curiously. "Something going on with those goggles of yours?"
"You could say that, Neptune." Ichika answered her. "Another friend of mine gave us a feature in our Digivices not too long ago. She said it was a way to bring Agumon and the other Digimon into the real world. But since I haven't tried it yet, now seems like the right time to test it out." He then contacts Agumon. "Hey Agumon, I'm going to test out the feature Mirei gave us. Are you ready?"
"I'm ready for anything, Boss." Agumon answered him with a nod. "If what she said is true, then I'll be able to be with you in the real world." He takes a deep breath and readies himself.
"Okay then here we go, Agumon." Ichika nodded as he holds out his Digivice in front of him and shouted out "Realize!" as Agumon digitizes from the Digivice and appears in the living room. "Agumon, it worked! It really worked!"
"Yeah! it real worked, Boss!" Agumon agrees happily. "I can't believe it actually worked! Wait until the others hears about this!"
"Let's save that for tomorrow, Agumon." Ichika said with a grin. "Right now, we should all get some sleep." He turns to the CPUs all getting ready for bed. "Goodnight, everyone. See you all in the morning." The CPUs all said "Goodnight" to him as well as he and Agumon headed up the stairs to his room and went to bed until tomorrow.
The next morning, the rays of the sun entered through the spaces between the curtains in Ichika's room and hitting his face. He then stirs from the light shining through his window as he sits up and stretches his arms above him while yawning. He looks over to his left to find Agumon sleeping at the foot of his bed with a blanket wrapped around him to keep warm. Ichika smiles at him as he leans over and nudges Agumon to wake up.
"Agumon, wake up. It's morning." Ichika said with a chuckle as Agumon starts to open his eyes. "Morning, sleepyhead. Did you sleep well?"
"Yeah, I slept like a log, Boss." Agumon answered him with a nod. "I guess this means Mirei was right about installing that feature into your Digivice. She was right about us now coming into your world."
"Yeah, she sure was." Ichika agrees, smiling again. "She might've known that we wanted to know you and the others more, so she came up with this feature she added into our Digivices. But I wonder what she meant about other Digidestineds before us?" Before Agumon could answer, they smelled something cooking coming from downstairs. "Hey, what's the smell? It sure smells good. Let's go see what's going on downstairs." Agumon nodded in agreement as he got out of bed and both headed downstairs.
Meanwhile in the kitchen, all the CPUs were awake and having breakfast. Nepgear was cooking some eggs and bacon with Uni helping her with some pancakes while Rom and Ram were setting up the table. Blanc poured orange juice into each cup while Vert was gathering some silverware and plates. Sitting at the table were Neptune and Noire as the Lastation CPU was reading a newspaper while the Planetune CPU was next to her until the table was finished.
"There we go, that should be everything." Nepgear smiled as she admired her handiwork. "Now all we have to do is wait for Ichika and Agumon to wake up and have some breakfast. I sure hope they'll like the breakfast we've made."
"They've better because if they don't, I'm gonna knock their blocks off!" Uni said with a growl. "We've slaved over a hot oven for them making breakfast, so they'd better appreciate this."
"Don't worry, Uni. I'm sure they'll like it." Ram said with a smile. "Think of it as our way of saying thanks to Ichika for letting us stay here at his house, it's the least we can do. Besides, you were the one who wanted to make breakfast for him." Her older sister and fellow CPUs all nodded in agreement as Ichika and Agumon enters the kitchen.
"Hey, what's all the commotion in here?" Ichika asked kindly "Is there some kind of party going on?"
"Hey, look who finally decided to grace us with his presence." Neptune said with a smile. "Our boy Ichika and his partner in crime Agumon."
"Partner in crime? Are we criminals?" Agumon asked in confusion.
"Don't worry, Agumon. She's just joking around." Ichika answered him with a laugh. "I'm sure that's just her way of saying good morning to us." He then looks towards the table. "Hey, you guys made some breakfast. Is that what was going on?"
"Yes, we did, Ichika. It's our way of saying thank you for letting us stay here." Vert answered him with a smile. "We thought about doing something special for you, so Uni decided we'd make breakfast for you. Isn't that right, Uni?" Everyone all turned to Uni who was blushing.
"Yeah…well…it's not like I wanted to do anything special for him." Uni answered her with a stutter. "I just thought it would be rude not to show any appreciation for letting us stay here. I'm only just being considerate, that's all."
"Well, everything does look good, so I'll take your word." Ichika said with a smile of gratitude. "And since you've all worked so hard, let's all eat together." Agumon and the CPUs all nodded in agreement as they sat around the table and started eating the breakfast.
After they were done eating, Ichika left the kitchen and headed for the bathroom to get ready for school while the CPUs cleaned up. After taking a shower, he headed for his room to put on his uniform before heading back downstairs to the front door and putting on his shoes with the Agumon right behind him and the CPUs watching them go.
"Well, time for me to head for school." Ichika said with a smile as he looked at the CPUs. "All of you better stay here, we don't want anyone getting the wrong idea. But we'll be back to get you and head for Nakano. That way, we'll have plenty of time to get to know each other better." The CPUs all nodded in agreement as he returns Agumon to his Digivice and heads out for the IS Academy.
Not long after leaving his house and meeting up with everyone else, Ichika and the gang all attended classes like normal, but with some minor differences than before. After stopping Izami from taking her revenge on them and nearly destroying the ISes, the school's security system was now more reinforced to make sure it won't be hacked into so easily.
Later at lunch, our heroes were sitting at their table eating and talking with each other. When Ichika told them about how he used the feature Mirei installed in their Digivices, they were excited to hear it works and want to try it out for themselves next time.
"Wow, I can't believe that it actually worked." Ling gasped in awe. "I thought she was just pulling our leg when she told us about that feature allowing our Digimon to come into our world. But after hearing you and Agumon testing it out, I can tell you that we'll be using it later." Her friends all nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, we were also excited to know it worked." Ichika agrees while smiling. "And after testing it out, we knew we just had to tell all of you. So we waited for today when we could tell you about it. Even Neptune and the others were also excited to see Agumon in the real world."
"Speaking of which, how are they doing at your house?" Twoearle asked him. "It must be hard having all of them living under the same roof as you. Were they able to get comfortable?"
"Yeah, they were able to get comfortable last night." Ichika answered her with a nod. "I had them sleep in the living room and gave them sleeping bags so they could sleep a little better. They even made us breakfast this morning as a way to say thanks for letting them stay."
"That's nice of them to do that." Cecilia smiled "I'm sure it was delicious, wasn't it?" Ichika nodded. "So whose idea was it to make you breakfast this morning?"
"Believe it or not, it was Uni's idea." Ichika answered her. "She wanted to make us breakfast and had everyone else help her in setting everything up. I gotta say, it sure was good and they did work hard making it, so I wasn't going to turn it down."
"That's so you, Ichika. Always being the nice guy." Houki said with a soft smile. "Your personality to being so nice to everyone is the reason why we all fell for you. But seeing as how Char might be the one you love the most, we'll be there to support both of you." Her friends all nodded in agreement as Ichika and Char looked at each other before turning away while blushing.
"By the way, there's something else I've been wanting to ask." Tatenashi stepped in "Where are we going to meet up with Neptune and her friends and our Digimon? Is there any place where not many people go to?" Everyone thought about it for a moment before Satoru spoke up.
"Wait, I think me, Twoearle and Ichika know of a place." Satoru said with a smile. "We can go to the Galatica Park in Kowloon. No one hardly ever goes there, mostly because it's a place where hackers hang around and they'd rather be within the safety of EDEN. We can meet there and hang out with Neptune's group and our Digimon."
"Perfect, then we'll head for Kowloon after school." Ichika grinned. "We'll pick up Neptune and the others on the way to Nakano and head for Kowloon from Kyoko's office once we arrive. That way, we can get to know them better and they could be new members for the Cyber Sleuths." Everyone nodded in agreement as they continued on with school until it ended later in the afternoon.
Once the school has ended for the day, our heroes returned to Ichika's house to get the CPUs and bring them to Nakano. After picking them up from his house, they got on a bus and rode it all the way to Nakano while seeing the city along the way.
"Wow, this city's a lot different from any of ours." Uni gasped in awe as she sees buildings pass by her on the bus. "I didn't think that something so primitive would have so much character to it." Her sister and fellow CPUs all nodded in agreement as they looked out the windows of the bus.
"Glad to know you're all liking our home so far." Houki smiled "Tokyo's one of Earth's largest cities along with Paris, New York and a couple others. There's plenty of shops and restaurants around the many districts here, but we'll get to those some other time. For right now, let's just enjoy the ride and seeing the sights whine on the way to Nakano." Everyone nodded in agreement as they sit back and relaxed during the bus ride.
For the next hour and a half, our heroes continued their bus ride to Nakano while seeing the sights of Shibuya, Asakusa, Akiabara and Shinjuku. As the bus drives through Shinjuku, a familiar sight comes walking down the sidewalk. It was Arata who was now just wandering around the district looking for something until he sees the bus passing by and noticed Ichika riding it. Without saying a word, he continues on his way hoping to find the answers he's searching for.
Upon arriving at the entrance to Nakano, our heroes entered the center and made their way to the agency and meet up with Kyoko. Once they've entered the office, Kyoko was nowhere to be seen again.
"Hey, where did Miss Detective Lady went off to?" Neptune asked confusedly as she looked around for Kyoko. "Did she get lost on her way here?" She got whacked on the head by Noire.
"You idiot! Why would she get lost? She's not that stupid!" Noire scolded her. "I'm sure she's just running late or has some other important things to do." She then noticed a letter on the desk and picks it up. "Hey, there's a letter here. Let's see what it says." Everyone gathered around her as she starts reading the letter.
"Everyone, I've stepped out again today and won't be back for another two hours. There are also no cases today, so you all can have another day off today. I'll be seeing all of you later. Signed, Kyoko Kuremi."
"Huh, so she stepped out again." Satoru guessed as he crossed his arms. "I guess Matayoshi wanted her for something again and had to leave before we arrived." He then turns to all his friends. "But since she said there are no cases again today, you guys still want to head for Galatica Park in Kowloon?" Everyone nodded as they all gathered around Ichika and he used his Connect Jump to enter the TV.
After entering the TV from the office, our heroes arrived Galatica Park in Kowloon with their new friends and their partners appearing next to them. Upon arriving, everyone looked around the park as Ichika remembers his first time coming to Kowloon and meeting with both Nokia and Arata in person for the first time.
"Huh, didn't think I'd see this place again." Ichika whistled as he looked around. "Especially after what happened the first time I came to Kowloon. Although, it could've gone a lot better." Agumon and the others all knew what he was talking about while the other Digimon and the CPUs were confused.
"Hmm? What do you mean by that, Ichika?" Vert asked confusedly. "Did something happened during your first time here?"
"You could say that, Vert." Ichika answered with a sigh. "It's kind of a long story, but let's just say that something happened to me and we're trying to figure out the cause of that incident a week ago." Agumon nodded in agreement as everyone decided to have a fun time and worry about that later until Renamon's ears perked up. As did Elecmon and Gatomon's ears doing the same.
"Renamon, what's wrong?" Cecilia asked in concern "Do you, Elecmon and Gatomon hear something coming?"
"Yes, we hear voices heading our way…" Renamon answered as she tensed. "From the voices, I can say there's about nine humans in a single group."
"But where are they coming from. Renamon?" Ichika asked her, he got his answer as Renamon points up into the cyber-sky and everyone looked to see nine silhouettes falling towards their location.
"They're coming in too hot! Run for your lives!" Neptune shouted as everyone got out of the way just before the group crashes onto the ground in a thick cloud of dust. After the dust cleared up, Ichika and the gang were able to see the group as they tired to pick themselves up. The group of newcomers consists of a boy with dark blue hair whose about the same age as Ichika's group, a brunette haired girl who seems the have the biggest chest out of the girls, a pink haired girl with three red dots on her forehead, a purple haired girl tied with a white ribbon, a young blonde haired girl, a tall man with blonde hair and white suit and gloves, a blonde girl with two people, a sandy blonde man with glasses and a black haired woman.
"Ow..that really hurts…" The boy moaned. "How did we even managed to survive that…? Is everyone alright?"
"Define alright, Punynari…" The blonde man grumbled..
"Hey, at least we're all still alive, Fukuyama." The brunette growled. "We should be glad we were able to get away from that thing." She then looks up and starts looking around. "But where are we? This doesn't look like any place I've seen." Just then, she felt something on her chest as she looks down to see the boy's hand on her breast. "Yukinari…where in the hell do you think you're grabbing…?"
"Huh?" The boy named Yukinari looked down to find his hand on the girl's chest. "AHHH! Kirie, I didn't mean to grab you!"
"Go do your groping in hell!" The brunette named Kirie yelled as she punched him off her, only for her to realize he was heading for the cliff.
"Not good! He's gonna go over the edge! I've got to save him!" Ichika gasped as he makes a mad dash for Yukinari with Agumon right behind him.
"Not alone you won't! I'm helping too!" Satoru shouted as he and Dorumon joins them to save Yukinari.
Just as Yukinari was about to fall over the edge, he felt two hands grabbing his arms. He opens his eyes to see both Ichika and Satoru holding onto his arms with Agumon holding onto Ichika's waist and Dorumon grabbing onto Satoru's shirt with his mouth.
"Hang on, we've got you! Just don't let go of us!" Ichika gritted his teeth as he readies himself "Okay, you ready to pull him back up, Satoru?"
"I'm ready when you are, Ichika." Satoru answered as they pulled Yukinari back onto solid ground and everyone rushed over to them.
"Whew, that was a close one." Yukinari wheezed. "Thank you for saving me, I was worried I was about to fall."
"You're welcome, I'm just glad we made it in time." Ichika smiled "Good thing we caught you before you one over the edge, that could've been a disaster." Satoru nodded in agreement before turning to Kirie and glared at her.
"What the hell was that all about?!" Houki growled in fury as she gave Kirie the evil eye as Kirie sweated bullets. "What made you think that punching him over the cliff was a good idea? He could've been badly hurt or worse!" Her friends all nodded in agreement.
"I know, that was really stupid of me to do that." Kirie lowered her head despondently. "I let my anger get the better of me again and nearly hurt him." She then turns to Yukinari as he dusted himself off. "I'm sorry, Yukinari. I let my anger get the best of me again and you nearly got hurt. I hope you can forgive me."
"It's all right, Kirie. I'm not mad at you." Yukinari said with a smile that made her blush a little. "I was lucky they've managed to save me before something bad happened. So I forgive you, Kirie." Kirie sighs in relief knowing that he forgives her for nearly knocking him over the cliff.
"So can someone tell us what the hell's going on here?" Noire asked in annoyance. "Who are you guys and where did you all come from? And what's this about getting away from that thing?" Before anyone could answer her, Renamon, Elecmon and Gatomon's ears all perked up again as they heard a loud sound.
"Hold on, there's something else heading this way." Elecmon said with a serious frown. "And from the sound of it, it's something big and strong. Something that's out for revenge."
"What do you mean, Elecmon? Who's out for revenge?" Houki asked and before he could answer, the sound got louder and closer to them until it revealed itself as a massive dragon Digimon with a mask that covers one of its eyes, an abnormally large right arm, a shoulder pad with spikes and its tail has armor on it.
"Leomon! Show yourself!" The Digimon roared.
"That's a Cyclonemon!" Biyomon gasped in shock.
"Cyclonemon?" Char asked her partner.
"Yeah. Cyclonemon are rivals of Leomon. So I can tell this one is looking for a Leomon." Biyomon explained as she got ready. "But we'll work together to defeat him! Char, get ready!"
"Right!" Char nodded.
"Renamon, battle stance!" Cecilia issued.
"Hmm!" Renamon nodded as she got ready for battle.
"Elecmon, get ready to digivolve!" Houki ordered.
"Got it!"
"Palmon, are you ready?" Kanazashi showed a serious face as she got ready.
"Always ready, Kanazashi!" Palmon nodded as she too got ready.
"Gatomon, get ready to kick some ass!" Ling issued.
"Roger!" Gatomon nodded as she got ready as well.
"Monodramon, are you ready?" Tatenashi frowned seriously.
"Yep!" Monodramon nodded as he too got ready to digivolve.
"Candlemon, get ready to digivolve!" Laura issued.
"Understood!" Candlemon agreed.
Alright, Dorumon. Let's work together to beat this creep!" Satoru got ready.
"Ready when you are!" Dorumon agreed as he got into a battle stance.
"Agumon, are you ready?" Ichika got ready.
"Ready, Boss!" Agumon agreed.
"Agumon, digivolve to… GeoGreymon!"
"Elecmon, digivolve to…Leomon!"
"Renamon, digivolve to… Kyubiimon!"
"Biyomon, digivolve to… Birdramon!"
"Candlemon, digivolve to… Wizardmon!"
"Monodramon, digivolve to… Strikedramon!"
"Palmon, digivolve to…. Togemon!"
As soon as the heroes' Digimon digivolved, the CPUs and the newcomers were surprised by this.
"Whoa! Did you guys see that? Agumon and his Digimon buddies just got bigger!" Neptune showed the white dotted eye look.
"Yes. And their names have changed when they took on those forms." Vert agreed. "But we need to help them nevertheless." The CPUs nodded as they transformed as well.
"I finally found you, Leomon…" Cyclonemon growled in fury as he glared at Leomon. "Now I will prove to you that I am the strongest Digimon there is!" Cyclonemon's mouth starts gathering energy. "Hyper Heat!" He fired a flaming blast at Leomon who leaped out of the way.
"Fist of the Beast King!" Leomon flung his attack at Cyclonemon, giving him medium damage.
"Volcano Dive!" Black Heart yelled as she leaped up and slams her attack on Cyclonemon, but he blocked it and knocked her away, but she regain her footing. "Damn… He's a lot tougher than he looks!"
"Dragon Wheel!" Kyubiimon yelled as she launched her attack at Cyclonemon who was hit by it for medium damage.
"Why you! Arm Bomber!" Cyclonemon yelled as he threw a fist at GeoGreymon who was hit by it for medium damage.
"Mega Flame!" GeoGreymon breathed out his attack on Cyclonemon for large damage.
"Needle Spray!" Togemon launched her attack on Cyclonemon, giving him medium damage.
"Hyper Heat!" Cyclonemon launched his attack at Birdramon who was hit by it for medium damage.
"Don't give up, Birdramon!" Char encouraged.
"Don't worry, Char! I'll be okay!" Birdramon reassured her partner as she flew up and shouted out "Meteor Wing!" She launched her attack at Cyclonemon who blocked most of them, but was hit by most of Birdramon's attack.
"Lightning Paw!" Gatomon launched her attack at Cyclonemon who was hit by it for medium damage.
"Congelatin!" White Heart yelled in fury as she charged towards Cyclonemon with her axe infused with ice as she tried to slash Cyclonemon, but Cyclonemon noticed her and punched her into the ground. Ichika and the gang including the newcomers heard White Heart cursing out a storm and made all except for the CPUs sweat dropped.
"Whoa… I never knew that Blanc was this foul mouthed…" Tatenashi muttered in astonishment.
"That's who our big sister is." Ram (White Sister) told her. "But there's no way we're letting this dummy get his revenge on Elecmon, err, I mean Leomon!" Ram got ready. "Ice Coffin!" She made icicles appeared below Cyclonemon. "Gotcha!"
"Strike Fang!" Strikedramon yelled as he lashed his claws at Cyclonemon, giving him medium damage.
"Arm Bomber!" Cyclonemon slams his arm down on Wizardmon, but when he lifted it up, he saw he attacked a illusion.
"Electro Squall!" Wizardmon launched his attack at Cyclonemon, giving him medium damage.
"I won't fall! I will end Leomon and die trying!" Cyclonemon yelled in fury as he broke free from Ram's Ice Coffin and charged towards Leomon.
"Dash Metal!" Dorumon launched his attack at Cyclonemon and it did small damage.
"Now it's time we end this, Cyclonemon! Fist of the Beast King!" Leomon launched his attack with full force which hit Cyclonemon for big damage, ending the fight. Cyclonemon roared in agony and disbelief as he was deleted.
Once Cyclonemon was deleted, our heroes all breathe a sigh of relief knowing that a rival to Leomon was no more and everyone regrouped as the Champion Digimon all reverted back to their Rookie forms while Gatomon stayed the same.
"Whew, glad that's over and done with…" Uni (Black Sister) sighed in relief before turning to Elecmon. "I can't believe that creep was really out for blood against you, Elecmon. Did you do something that made him want revenge on you?"
"Unfortunately, yes. I did do something to Cyclonemon." Elecmon answered her with a sigh. "It was along time ago when the Cyclonemon were much different than how they are now. They used to be proud warriors and were amongst the strongest of all. But that all changed when they've challenged a Leomon to battle and lost horribly. To add insult to injury, their right eye was crushed and that's why we can only see his left eye from his mask. Now for the sake of revenge, they've lost all pride as warriors and became fighters obsessed with bloodshed. The enlarged right arm is proof of their transformation from proud warriors to vengeful and bloodthirsty monsters."
"I see, that sounds awful…" Green Heart said as she lowered her head despondently. "Losing your eye and pride as a warrior can drive someone into madness. Do you think we'll be facing others like Cyclonemon and those Goblinmon from yesterday?"
"Yes, I'm positive we'll be seeing more Digimon like Cyclonemon and the Goblinmon." Renamon answered her with a nod. "But I'm also positive they'll be much stronger than the ones we've been fighting for over a week now. So when they do come, we'd better be ready for any fight that might come our way." Everyone nodded in agreement as they all turned to the newcomers who were still shocked about what had happened.
"Okay, just what the hell was that all about?" Kirie demanded. "What was with your pets changing into bigger monsters and what was the deal with that one? You guys had better come up with an explanation!"
"We can understand you guys are confused, but you need to calm down." Ichika reasoned. "We'll tell you everything, but here's not the best place for that. We'll tell you everything when we head back to the office." Everyone nodded in agreement as Fukuyama gropes White Heart from behind.
"Hey, what the hell?!" White Heart gawked as everyone was caught off guard.
"My, what an exceptionally beautiful loll here!" Fukuyama slurred pevertedly "I hope you don't mind me getting a closer look! I want to see every aspect of your body!"
"Don't you dare, you sick pervert!" White Heart snarled in fury "If you even think about laying one finger on me, I'll be sending you to hell!" She throws him onto the ground and starts beating the crap out of him while everyone watches her cursing up a storm again.
"Sheese… Remind me to never get Blanc mad." Tatenashi sweat dropped.
