MA: hey people. It's time once again for another chapter. Max: hey man, there's a guy out side. Keke: who is he?

Max: I don't know but let's let him in. (Opens the door and let's in the man) MA: hey man, are you ok? Man: thank you. I was getting hungry. Max: no problem. What's your name?

D3: THE DEAMON'S STRIKE THE BAD BOYS

" Thank you. Come again." said Mrs. Katou as another satisfied customer walked out of their bar. Mr. Katou was working hard but inside of him, he was worried. It had been a full week since jeri left with the other tamers and he had no word from her.

" Pikkan. Could you bring out that fish?" he asked. Emerging from the back was pikkan, wearing an apron and a hat that covered his ear. Jeri's parents still had no idea that he was an alien digimon or that he and jeri were dating.

" Here you go. That's the last of it."

" Ok I'll get some later today."

" Problem sir?"

" Why do you say that?"

" I sense that something is worrying you. Is it jeri?"

" Yeah. I am worried about jeri. Last time she left, she was pulled into that.that thing."

" The d-reaper?"

" Yeah." He said with a solemn look his face when a hand rested on his shoulder.

" Sir, I know I haven't been here that long but it's long enough to know that she is very strong and she has a group of friends that will do anything to help and protect her."

" I hope so pikkan."

I hope so too. For their sake.

Just then, the bell on the door rang, signaling that someone had entered the bar. Mrs. Katou, sweeping the floor, was the first to greet the visitor.

" Hello. What can we.." She stopped as she laid eyes on the man. He wore a black mask with eyeholes showing his serious red eyes, a light brown trench coat and black boots. Seeing this imposing figure before her, she did the only thing she could.

" AHHHHHHH! ROBBER!" Mr. Katou and pikkan looked up to see Mrs. Katou running back behind the bar. Mr. Katou jumped over and held a knife at him.

" I won't let you rob us." He threatened until pikkan put his hand over the blade and lowered it.

" Don't worry. He's not here to rob you, are you?"

" No. I'm here to talk to your border." He said pointing to pikkan.

" It's about the mission, right?"

" Yes. We underestimated the warlord and already three deamons have been released. Takato, Tai and takuya were beaten badly but they'll live."

" And jeri?"

" She's safe but these next battles will be brutal."

" I see. So you've come for me huh?"

" And blackWargreymon. They'll need your power and experience."

" Well it's about time I got some action." Pikkan said before he took off his apron and cap, letting his ears free.

" Pikkan, your ears.." Said the couple.

" I'm sorry but I'm afraid I will have to leave you underhanded."

" Where are you going?"

" It seems that jeri and her friends need some help. So this is I promise you; I will protect jeri with my life if I have to."

"W-w-we believe you."

" Good. Let's go."

" This way." X said as the duo left the bar with the katous in awe of what they just saw.

" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It feels good!" exclaimed takuya as he and takato walked out of the main building. The boys had finally recovered from their near fatal fight with shendumon.

" Yeah. It feels even better to talk again." takato added, rubbing his jaw as he did. They caught sight of the rest of the tamers and digidestined sitting outside.

" Hey guys!" takato yelled over to his friends. Guilmon, once hearing his tamer's voice, rushed over and tackle him to the ground.

" Takatomon! I missed you!"

" I missed you too boy."

" Man, he's like a big puppy." Joked takuya.

" Wow! Takato, you ok?" asked Henry with terriermon.

" Yeah. Just getting crushed to death by guilmon here. What's up?" takato asked, as he got up from the ground.

" We're just waiting. There's nothing else to do until we get a lock on the next portal."

" So we're like a bunch of mother.."

" Terriermon!"

" Momentai, Henry."

" No more BET for you."

" Well, since all we have to do is wait, I'm gonna do something to Zoe that I've wanted to do." he said smiling a like clown as he went in search of his girlfriend.

" He's defiantly a goggle head." Takato smirked.

" Come on. Rika wants to see you."

Else where, David and tike were walking back from eating a good meal.

" I don't see what the problem is David. So what if Tommy likes her?"

" But he's not suppose to like her."

" Why?"

" I don't know!"

" Come on! Admit it!"

" Admit what?'

" You like my sister."

" No! That's preposterous! She's my friend."

" Bull shit! That's what TK and Kari say all the time!"

" But she is!"

" Then you should be happy for her that Tommy is interested in her."

" No way!"

" Then you do like her!"

" No I don't!" he said as they caught sight of kara talking and laughing with Tommy.

" Hey guys!" she called over to them.

" Hey sis."

" Hello kara." David greeted through gritted teeth.

" Me and Tommy have been talking about stuff. His mother seems like a nice lady."

" Well, she's not as nice as you." Tommy said, causing her to blush and David to nearly spaz out.

" Hey kara, you wanna get something to eat?"

" Sure let's go." Tommy and kara got up and walked back towards the building with the young legendary sticking out his tongue at David. Infuriated, he stomped after them with a ki ball in his palm.

" I'll kill him!" he growled as tike held him back.

" Damn! You're acting like your father man!"

Elsewhere, another legendary warrior tried his hand at love as JP stared at jeri who was talking with sora with leomon by her side.

" Earth to JP." The large digidestined woke up from his daze to find koji looking over his shoulder.

" You've been staring at her for days now."

" Yeah. Since Zoe is off limits, I have to move on."

" To jeri, I see."

" Is that a problem?"

" I think I heard kazu say she has a boyfriend."

" Well is he here? No. So now I put on a little of my JP charm." He boasted as he licked his hand and slicked his hair back. With a confident smile, he marched over to the brown hair tamer.

" This should be good." muttered koji.

" Uhhh hi jeri."

" Oh hi. You're one of the other digidestined. JP right?"

" Yeah. Umm, I was wondering if, I don't know, if you want get together after this deamon crap is over, I mean?"

" Oh you mean like a date?"

" No! No! I mean like a get together as friends."

" Oh. Well that sounds nice. Then yes." This answer caused him to smile greatly.

" Alright then. See you later then." He said skipping away.

" See koji. No woman can resist my charms."

" Yeah just ask zoe." Koji laughed as they walked while sora, jeri, and leomon.

" Jeri, you neglected to tell him that you are involved with some." Said leomon.

" I know."

" But what if he tries something?" asked sora.

" If he wants to get together as friends, then I shouldn't worry. But if he tries something, I'll just have pikkan rip him apart." She said coolly.

" Just don't let pikkan find out." Leomon warned just before he ducked an oncoming object. After it landed, he was shocked to see it was veemon, dazed and sporting a collect of bruises on his face.

" Veemon are you ok?" asked leomon

" Baby, give me one more chance." He said dizzily.

" What happen to him?"

" I did." Just then, renamon appeared in front of them, with a very cross look on her face.

" When he wakes, tell him not to try it again."

" Try what again?" asked sora.

" He'll know. Perverted little bastard."

" Hey everyone!" the voice of Tai sounded out amongst the team of humans and digimon. Instinctively, they all gathered towards him.

" What's the word Tai?" asked matt.

" The word is the next portal has been activated. Everyone, pack it up, post up, and roll out!" The group groaned and sweat dropped at Tai's poor attempt at motivating them when sora rolled next to him and slapped him on the back of the head.

" Tai quit trying to sound cool and just say let's go."

" Uhhh, let's go?"

" Good boy."

Planet thundra; located in the eastern quadrant of the digi-verse, it is home of big strike, the digi-verse most continuous storm. The storm moves along the surface of the planet like a beast looking for grazing ground. Here is where the next portal is located and here is where our team of heroes are to prevent the next door to be opened.

" Damn! That thing is huge!" remarked JP as he viewed the massive storm off in the distance.

" Just be glad it's not over here." Said koji as the troop of digimon and humans walked down the path in the forest.

" So when do you think the odds are that the deamons will jump us before we find them?" asked rika.

" With our luck, not long." Answered takato, when suddenly a strong wind rolled in. the gust then came violently, blowing everyone to the ground.

" Me and my big mouth." From out of now where, xiao fangmon landed followed by his brother shendumon. Soon the thundering footsteps of po kongmon announced her arrival with the warlord on her shoulder.

" I must admit you all must be gluttons for punishment." The warlord joked.

" Have you not figured it out that you can't beat us?" said shendumon.

" May I can change their minds brother."

DEADLY GALE

Xiao fangmon's jaws swelled and released a wall of wind that blew over the team. Wargreymon, metal garurumon and garudamon quickly digi-volved and stood in front of them, forming a living wind shield, protecting them but not before, jeri, leomon, cody, armadillomon, JP, kazu, kenta and their digimon were blown back down the path and out of sight.

" OH CRAP!" exclaimed takato as the wind died.

" Damn it! I was expect to blow away more of you." he joked.

MEGA BARRAGE

A salvo of missiles erupted from being the mega's back and headed right for him but he back flipped and hopped out of the way of the projectiles.

" That was weak." Just then, the warlord looked down at the box, which glowed on his belt.

" It's the portal! It's close!" he said.

" Then find it! Po kongmon, go with him. Me and brother xiao shall handle these fools."

" Of course." The warlord jumped off her shoulder and on to the ground with the mountain deamon in tow.

" Don't worry. We'll make this quick."

" You're right. It won't." Sakuyamon rose above into the air, staff ready. Many of the other digimon and humans had digivolve and transformed for battle.

" Well they certainly came to fight."

" Well then, let's give them a fight!"

DRAGON'S FIRE

The group scattered in all direction as the fire came down on them. Tike and David were the first into the fray as they rushed him but xiao fangmon spat out a gust of wind, blowing them into a tree. Lobomon drew his saber and leapt at the dragon. Shendumon saw him coming and punched him away. Sam tried his hand at the deamon with a kick to the face but it seemed to not even hurt him. Keke rounded behind him and added her own barrage of kicks. Grinning, his ponytail came alive and wrapped itself around her. He then threw her in to sam, knocking them out. Takato and takuya jumped into the battle as they pounded his face with their fist but he seemed not to be affected. In mid blow, he caught their fists.

" Haven't you fools realized? You couldn't handle me at 1% of my power. What makes you think you can take at 10%?" he informed before he head butted the boys and threw them into the air. Meanwhile kazemon tried her hand at a deamon as she took on xiao fangmon with a wave of kicks but the frog like deamon avoided them with ease.

HURRICANE WAVE

The attack looked like it was on target but he opened his mouth and seemingly ate the attack.

" What the?! How did you do that?"

" Foolish girl! I am the deamon of wind. Wind is my element. Using such attack on me is useless."

" Oh no!" said kazemon.

" Now let me show you the true power of the wind!"

DEADLY GALE

Kazemon fought but had no chance against the unbelievably powerful attack and was helpless as she was blown around. Takuya saw her and flew to her aid. Although he caught her, the attack had blown them into the ground. Wargreymon and Tai jumped in and on to the deamon but he directed his attack to the ground, forcing him into the air.

" This is beginning to be a bit annoying." Said xiao fangmon as he landed next to his brother.

" Agreed. Let's really mix it up!"

DEADLY GALE

DRAGON'S FIRE

Shendumon's fire gained strength from his brother's attack, turning it into a horrific fire blast that enveloped the remaining fighters. When it was over, everyone, digimon and human, were on the ground, groaning and smoking.

" I love doing that." said the wind deamon.

" Ditto. Now let's go get our brother." Shendumon suggested. The duo walked in the direction of where their sister was when shendumon felt a strong gust of wind on his back.

" Xiao, stopping playing around! We have things to do!"

" But I haven't done anything!"

" Then who..." he pondered as he turned around. He and his brother, as well as the recovering team, saw a twister plowing around the land. It didn't really seem natural and it was proven as it moved over and hit xiao fangmon while shendumon jumped out of the way.

" What is going on?" he asked when he felt something hit him in the back, something powerful enough to slam him into the ground.

" Who dares attack me from behind?!"

To his awe and everyone elses, the twister slowly began to die down and slow as a figure became visible in the wind. As he stopped spinning, he looked down at the deamons with a glare. Next, a large black object slammed onto the ground. As the dust settled, it was revealed that it was digimon and to some a familiar one at that. The man landed next to him with his arms crossed.

" B-blackWargreymon?" said takato.

" And pikkan." Said rika. Since the last attack, she and renamon spilt from their mega form.

" Takato, is everyone ok?" asked the mega.

" Well, uh yeah. Where did you guys come from?"

" X called us in which is not surprising. Never let humans handle digital affairs." Said pikkan.

" What is black Wargreymon doing here?" TK asked, with a little distain in his voice. He still remembered all the battle they had with him.

" He's here to help." Answered Henry.

" I seriously doubt it." snapped yolei. Meanwhile the deamon brothers dusted themselves off and faced the new duo.

" What is this? New fighters?" said xiao fangmon.

" Let's see. A digimon and...an alterian?!" he said almost surprised to see him.

" Now what would a alterian be doing fighting with humans? As I recall, your kind and humans weren't on the best of terms."

" I don't need to tell you my reasons! Besides, I wanted to see if it was true."

" What?"

" When I was little, my mother told me stories that if I wasn't a good boy that the deamons would get me. Well it's time to tell you the story of the big bad pikkan and how he whooped your Asses!"

" Well then, come over and tell us all about it!"

" So what do you think?" the mega whispered to the alterian.

" Well, we might have a chance if we hit them fast enough."

" Ok. So which one do you want?" blackWargreymon asked as he dropped his dra Mon destroyers and the shield on his back, hitting the ground with a thud.

" I got froggy!" he answered as he cracked his neck.

" I see. So the big is mine? No problem." He replied.

" So are you just going to whisper or are you gonna-OOOFFFFFFF!" The fist of pikkan interrupted him. He yelled as he and the deamon wrestled in mid air, leaving only blackWargreymon and shendumon staring each other down.

" So what are you waiting for? Scared?" asked the deamon.

" Oh no! I was just waiting for my friend leave. Now let's see what you can do." The dark mega dashed forward and punched him but the deamon block it with ease. But as he did, blackWargreymon hit him with his other arm, knocking him back.

This one is stronger that he looks.

Regaining his footing, he flew up and away from him but the mega caught up with him and landed a blow to his gut.

And faster too.

Pissed, he landed a blow to his face, as did blackWargreymon. The two fighters traded blows at high speed to the awe of the others watching. Meanwhile, xiao fangmon and pikkan were still wrestling until the wind deamon let go and landed on the ground. He opened his mouth and used his deadly gale on him but the alien was ready for it. His hand glowed and deflected the wave of wind.

" But how?"

" You may be a deamon but your attack is simple enough for me to beat. Now let me show you my attack." He said before he began his attack.

THUNDER FLASH ATTACK

Pikkan's main attack burned the ground as the deamon hopped for his life. When it was over, pikkan dash downwards and landed an elbow on his back. Pikkan then began to on him relentlessly while he couldn't even mount a defense. Else where, the two large combatants were in a test of strength grapple.

" You're stronger than the others."

" You're very strong as well. My brother would have loved to fight you."

" I wonder. How strong is he?"

" He was very powerful, more so than me. But still, we are equal in strength."

" That's what you think. While you may be using all of your power, I haven't even used close to half of mine."

" Well then why don't you show your full power?"

" Despite the fact you are a powerful warrior, you are not worthy of my full strength. But I still show raise my power to beat so.... Ah yes! 20% should be enough for you." As he said this, he began to push blackWargreymon back to his surprise.

Damn! He wasn't kidding! I can't even push back now!

The mega seemed to be struggling against then deamon but shendumon was still pushing him back with no problems. He then twisted his hands upwards, causing a great deal of pain and getting a groan of pain out of him. He head butted him, breaking out of the head and punched the mega into the sky. Pikkan saw him flying and flew to his aid.

" You ok?"

" Been better. That guy. He's more power than I thought." He answered pointing to the deamon in question.

" It's around here somewhere." Said the warlord, as he was being lead around by the box with po kongmon in tow.

" Hurry up! I'm getting impatient!" he complained.

" Quit whining! I'm going as fast as I can-WHOA!" he exclaimed as the box jumped out of his hand and floated into the air. Like the others, the box opened another portal and this time, bolts of lightening bolted out of the opening. Suddenly, something or someone shoot out of the portal and pass them.

" This should be good." smiled the warlord.

" So what do we do now?" asked blackWargreymon as they looked down at shendumon and xiao fangmon, who arrived a little later.

" The toad is no problem but shendumon is tougher so we will tag team him." Said pikkan.

" I don't think so." Everyone turned to see a ball of energy scream across the sky and smash into the ground with a force. When the dust settled, a figure emerged; he had light blue skin, white hair, blue armor on his chest, shoulders, waist, wrists, and ankles. Bits of electricity surged off his body as he surveyed the area.

" Welcome back, brother."

DA: tchangzumon, the thunder deamon; although he is second eldest, he is the most technically savvy deamon. He can absorb lightening energy from storms and ride clouds. His main attack: thunderstorm of torment.

" The electrons of free air! It feels.electrifying!" he said, as his body was being bathed with lightening.

" Good."

" Wait. Is that an alterian? I haven't seen on in years." He asked looking at pikkan.

" So what if I am?" he yelled back.

" You see, I am sort of a collector. I collect fighting techniques and I find that alterians have the most interesting ones. So if you give some of your techniques, I will try to convince my brother to let you go."

" And if I say no?"

" You don't want to say."

" Well even if you can fight, you just came out and you don't have any strength to fight us." Said blackWargreymon.

" Yeah that's right. The storm is on the other side of the planet." Added pikkan.

" You fools! I don't need to be in a storm to take its power. I can absorb the power of any storm, so long as I am on the same planet. Observe." With a sinister grin on his face, he extended his hand to the sky. On the other side of the planet, the storm began to roll and grow, certainly reacting to tchangzumon. A large bolt of lightening exploded out of the cloud, raced across the sky, and struck his hand. The energy surrounded him and empowered his body. The hairs on the head of the digimon and humans began to stick up in response to the power.

" Well, since you won't show me one of your moves, how about I show you one of mine? This is one of my favorites!" he announced.

THUNDERSTORM OF TORMENT

" Scatter!" yelled pikkan as he and the digimon flew in different directions while the attack of energy was launch. But they found it useless, as the lightening seemed to follow them and struck them hard. The duo roared in pain as they fell from the sky and crashed into the earth.

" Like it?" he said to the stunned digidestined.

" The move stimulates the nerves in the entire body, making it seem as if they are on fire. I love it myself."

" Why you!" Enraged, takato dashed at him but before he could land a punch, an electrical field shocked him. Rika ran to his side as he wondered what happened.

" I wouldn't recommend you do that again. Tchangzumon's body is so charged with electricity that getting close to him will give you a nasty shock." Explained xiao fangmon.

" Now he tells us." Snapped rika.

" So many victims. I could try out my techniques for days."

" As much as I would love to see you beat the crap out of them with your many moves, but we are half way to our goal. They can wait."

" Fine. You did always know what's best."

JET CLOUD

Upon his command, a small black cloud materialized under his feet and he rose into the sky.

" Until the next portal." Laughed shendumon as he and his brothers rocketed into the air.

" Well that sucked." Said takuya as they went over the injured.

" So what do we do now? That's four deamons out." Said Mimi.

" We check out the injured and regroup. It's all we can do." said Tai as renamon emerged from the trees, holding her head.

" What happened?" she asked.

" Well the good news is we lost."

" Terriermon! We failed to stop the next deamon from getting out." Explained Henry.

" But we kinda had help. Surprising enough, blackWargreymon appeared and helped us." Said Davis. Renamon's eyes bugged out of her head and immediately she grabbed him by the collar.

" He was here?! Where is he? What happened?"

" He and some big eared human fought against the new deamon but they got beaten. If I were fighting then I wouldn't be so sorry." answered veemon.

" Where is he?" Her answer came in the form of both warriors flipping out of the ground and landing in front of them.

" Damn him! That attack hurt!" pikkan said as he dusted himself.

" That move was horrible!" blackWargreymon said as he tried to catch his breathe.

" Excuse me for being out of the loop but who are you two?" asked koji.

" Allow me. This is blackWargreymon, ally, friend and badass fighter. And this large eared gentlemen is pikkan, an alien digimon who has come to help us." Said Tai.

" TCH! You are fooling yourself, Tai! I only come cause I can't rely on humans to do what we digimon need to do." he snapped.

" Cheerful isn't he?" remarked Zoe.

" Well, well, aren't you a big digimon." Said renamon as she walked near blackWargreymon.

" I see. You're not so bad yourself. Are you seeing any one?"

" As a matter of fact, I am."

" Oh?"

" Yes. A very handsome, strong, brave and daring digimon who I love very much."

" Sounds like a great guy. I happen to have someone as well. A very beautiful, power and stunning digimon in her own right."

" Hey! What the hell are you two talking?" asked veemon when renamon reached up and placed her paw on his face.

" What took you so long, big boy?"

" Traffic and a killer digimon with painful attack. I was kinda worried about you."

" Really?"

" Kinda." This display of affection from renamon and, surprising, from blackWargreymon left the digi-destined jaw dropped.

" You mean to tell me blackWargreymon is alive and has a girlfriend?!" spoke tentomon.

" And I hit on her?" said a freighted veemon.

" He did?"

" Yes. Even though I told him I was with someone."

" Really? Come here, veemon."

" No!"

" I said come here!"

" No!" BlackWargreymon then walked towards the small digimon. He tried to run but the mega seemed too fast.

" Shouldn't we stop him?" asked Kari.

" No. He knows what he's doing." Answered renamon. Blackwargreymon final caught in his massive claws.

" Now to make you pay!"

" NO!" yelled Davis as veemon screamed. To his and everyone's surprise, blackWargreymon had him in a headlock and was giving him some noogies.

" Say it!"

" No!"

" Say it!"

" Ok! I will never hit on renamon ever again!"

" And?"

" And she is the most beautiful digimon ever!"

" And?"

" And I am a weak little digimon with no life!"

" Good!" he said as he released him.

" This was worth coming out here!" pikkan said as he laughed his guts out.

" Well as funny as that was, I think we need to get out of here and see if jeri is ok." said takuya. Almost immediately, pikkan stopped laughing and ran up to takuya.

" What about jeri?"

" Uh! She and bunch of us got blown back that way!" he pointed.

" She better be ok!" he growled.

" Don't worry! I'm sure JP is taking care of her good!" joke koji.

" JP huh? She had better be fine. And as for this JP; if he is messing with her, I will rip his arms out of it's sockets!" he threaten as he dashed down the path.

" Where is he going?" asked sora.

" He's gonna go check jeri and rip JP's arms out." Takuya said. Tai, sora, takato, rika, Henry, their digimon and blackWargreymon looked up with horror in their eyes.

" And you let him GO?!" tai said.

" Yeah."

" Renamon?" spoke blackWargreymon.

" I'm with you big boy!" she said before she took off with him.

" Come on! We got to stop him!" said takato as he and the other tamers took off.

" What's going tai?" asked matt.

" Pikkan is an alterian and they don't lie, boost or brag." Tai explained as he ran.

" Meaning if he says he's gonna rip his arms out of their sockets, then he will do it!" added sora.

" Oh crap! And I was joking!" said koji.

" Come on! We've to save JP!"

" So are you sure you ok?" asked JP. He and the other were ok, save the fact that jeri twisted her ankle. JP was bending over backwards to see that see was all right and to score some points off her.

" Yes, I'm fine JP. Thank you." she said. Leomon, kazu, kenta, guardramon, Cody, and armadillomon stood to the side.

" That guy is either brave or stupid." Said kazu.

" Is her boyfriend that bad?" asked Cody.

" No. Worse." Said kenta.

" Oh crap!" spoke leomon.

" What's up leomon?" asked armadillomon. Leomon just pointed up to the path to a large cloud of smoke heading their way.

" It can't be!" said guardramon.

" It is." As the cloud got closer, they could see the determined form of pikkan running towards them. As he stopped he looked over the scene before him. He immediately ran to her side when he saw her sitting.

" Jeri, are you alright?"

" Pikkan what are you doing here?"

" X sent for me to help."

" Oh. I'm fine. I just sprain my ankle."

" Ohh. I should have been here."

" It's ok. Besides JP here has been really good to me." Upon hearing that name, he turned to the large kid next to her with a look that could kill 100 deamons.

" This is JP?!"

" Yeah so. Just who are you big ears?"

" JP, this is my boyfriend, pikkan." JP's body went stiff and cold as pikkan rose to his feet.

" Come here."

"W-w-why?"

" Because I am going to hurt you, badly." He growled just as the rest of the group arrived. BlackWargreymon, Tai, and takato jumped on him and tried to restrain him.

" LET ME GO! I'LL KILL HIM!" he roared as the twins and David grabbed his legs.

" Calm down! Jeez, he's pissed!" said tike.

" And you actually date him?" asked Mimi.

" Yes. He's just being sweet." She said dreamily.

" YOU MESS WITH JERI AGAIN, YOU'LL WILL BE WEARING YOUR ASS FOR A HAT!"

" Well it's nice to see he's mellowed out some." Joked keke.

" Yes, it would be bad if he was really mad." Keke looked to her side to see the masked man known as X appear.

" Sorry if I surprised you. I don't believe we've met. I'm X."

" Hi.I'm keke." She greeted, almost in a trance as she looked into his eyes. Seeing this, he quickly turned away.

No! I can't risk it! Even for her.

He feels familiar. Could it be....no. Max is dead.

NEXT TIME: shinmon and Simms share their theory of who and what max was. Plus the next portal is found but this time, a cocky old friend appears to do battle.

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MAX

MA: hey we're back and we are still trying to stop the beast. (Ma and the gang are behind some tanks and guns.) Max: damn! That thing just beat the crap out of the gundams. Takuya: can nothing stop it? Barney: (skipping towards them) I love you. You love me. Rika: it's unstoppable! I'm scare! Takato: it's ok. You'd have to be crazy not to be scared. P: I normally don't run from a fight but fuck that! I'm gone! Tike: run for your lives! (Everyone takes off as barney nears.) Barney: but I want to be friends!

LATER FICCERS

(And if you don't know, this is a recording cause I'm not sticking around. I'm out!)
