Now let's get onto reading!

Wednesday after school in New York City. K.H. was idly typing at the computer he sat at in the Stuyvesant High School computer lab. With his other hand, he held his Digivice open, reading an e-mail he received from Shastina that contained a lot of interesting facts.

Hey gang

It's nice here in Japan. Of course, if you haven't heard yet of the monster attack, there was one, and I was in it, as well as Gatomon…who Digivolved into Angewomon.

Yes, it seems like we are not the only Digi-Destined there is. In fact, we seem to be the fourth generation Digi-Destined. I've met most of the third and second generations, but no one seems to know anything about the first generation.

Anyway, to get back on topic, Izzy, the intellect of the second generation group has blessed me with some information.

First of all, Toramon Digivolved to the next level, apparently Ultimate. Each Digimon holds a certain rank: Egg, Baby, In Training, Rookie, Champion, Ultimate, and Mega. Mega is the biggest and strongest.

Also, to be able to Digivolve into Ultimate, we need to have certain items called Crests, sort of a power amplifier that allows our Digimon to hit the next level. Strange, ne? I got the Crest of Light though. =)

Here's something else of interest:

A theory Izzy has about the sudden attack of a Digimon is that Serangmon activated the merger already. Like Tibbs said, Digimon and humans would need to live together. Personally, I am not sure if this is true or not, but I figure the next time one of us enters the Digital World, he or she can…um…go up and knock on the door and ask for an explanation? Well, guess not. Still, Izzy's theory may have a chance.

That's all I got to say. I'll leep up to date. Izzy wants to analyze my Digivice now.

Bye!

"That's an interesting letter," Kinoumon commented, leaning over K.H.'s shoulder. The two were the lone occupants of the room, and therefore there was no need to hide the dragon-like Digimon. K.H. nodded in agreement, closing the Digivice and pocketing it.

"And the reports of the attacks in Japan and Canada are all across the news," K.H. added, turning back to his surfing the Internet.

"You think they'll come here?" Kinoumon asked, concerned. If attacks could happen there, then these portals could open anywhere.

"Probably a giant monkey on the Empire States Building like what happened about seven years ago," K.H. replied without turning his gaze from the computer. "Of course I still wonder what was going on at that time. Everyone was screaming monster and such."

"A really well acted movie?" Kinoumon joked, glancing at the screen. Most of the windows had Japanese Anime. "You really like that stuff, don't you?" Kinoumon asked. K.H. smiled lightly, entering one of the other windows to see if the page had loaded. "You should really be researching your project like you said you would do." K.H. shrugged, nearly knocking Kinoumon off his shoulder.

"Sorry…" K.H. apologized, making sure his Digimon was steady before continuing to surf. Of course by then, Kinoumon decided perching on K.H.'s head would be better.

"Don't you think you should reply to that e-mail?" Kinoumon asked.

"There's nothing to respond with," K.H. replied lightly, clicking here and there on the screen. "The questions have been answered…all there is to wait for are more questions…"

"That sounds…logical…in a weird sort of way…" Kinoumon agreed.

"Oh, and don't mess up the hair, okay?" K.H. asked. Kinoumon giggled, telling the K.H. he won't.

Three Digi-Destined sat alone at a table in the DMCI cafeteria. School was cancelled for the rest of the day, but the Tao, Marc, and Sora stayed anyway. There was a lot of explaining to do. . The two generations of Digi-Destined swapped stories of their adventures thus far, while Biyomon was tending to Harriermon's wounds and Xemon sat on the seat beside Marc.

"The new Digi-Destined team has been assembled then," Sora said. Marc nodded. "But they are scattered around the world. I wonder why they chose to do that…"

"To make things difficult?" Tao answered sarcastically. He stood up to get a better view of Harriermon, though Biyomon's back blocked his view.

"Don't worry. Biyomon can take care of him," Sora consolidated, placing a hand on his. Tao was silent, but sat back down. Marc checked his watch, surprised at the time.

"It's almost four o'clock…we should really get going…" he commented.

"That's about six o'clock A.M. back home," Sora calculated. "I wonder if Tai e-mailed me…" she asked thoughtfully. The girl removed her D-terminal from her backpack and checked the e-mail. "Oh my…"

"What?" both boys asked, leaning over to try to read the e-mail.

"Japan attacked…Crest of Light revealed…merger possibility?" Sora murmured, but only a few words were heard by the other three at the table. Marc decided then to check his own e-mail, surprised with the letter he got.

"Tao, check your e-mail," he told his companion. Tao did as suggested, though surprising Sora that the Digivice also acted as a D-terminal.

"Shastina sent a letter…about the other Digi-Destined in Japan?" Tao spoke out loud, scrolling down to read more. Now it was Sora's turn to lean over and see what the e-mail said.

"It seems like our friends say the same thing," Sora commented, beginning to compile a reply stating how she met some of the newer Digi-Destined.

"Yeah…" Tao agreed, a bit surprised at how coincidental it was.

"Wait…doesn't…um…K.H. live in New York?" Sora asked, looking up from her D-terminal.

"Yeah," Marc answered. "Why do you ask?"

"Mimi and Michael live in New York," Sora replied, beginning to process another e-mail once she sent replied to the previous one. "Maybe those three can meet as well."

"It's a possibility," Tao mused. "But they got to find K.H. first, and I have no idea where he is in New York..."

* * * * * *

K.H. exhaled, turning off the computer and collecting his school bag. He stepped over towards the window, watching the river flow by beside the school.

"Maybe you should stop gawking and go home," Kinoumon suggested, giggling a bit. "It is late." K.H. shrugged, this time without worrying about knocking the Digimon over. K.H. was about to turn away until a bubbling in the river caught his attention. It was difficult to see through the drizzle and the fact the computer lab was on the second floor of the school.

"What's…going on with the river?" he asked, pressing his face against the glass for a better look.

"Um…someone boiling the water?" Kinoumon remarked, getting a short laugh from K.H.

"You and your smart remarks…" he countered, though giggling. Kinoumon reminded the boy of himself. "Just what IS that…" K.H. asked. This time, the Digimon remained silent, thinking about the answer. The bubbling subsided, leaving the two dumbfound.

"That was…strange…to say the least…" Kinoumon muttered. Suddenly, a sapphire coloured orb blasted out from where the bubbles were, crashing through the window and knocking both the Human and Digimon back. K.H. and Kinoumon yelped in panic, surprised by the attack. Water splattered all around the room when the orb struck against the ceiling.

"A water attack!?" Kinoumon shouted, making sure not to touch any of the broken glass as he jumped onto the windowsill. The Digimon peered out of the shattered remnants of the window. Kinoumon was hit dead on by the water ball. K.H. caught the soaked Digimon, who was coughing, trying to get some air in his lungs after being splattered.

"It was…a Fineramon…" Kinoumon told K.H., coughing in between words. K.H. wasn't sure what this Digimon was, but if it hurt Kinoumon, he knew it couldn't be good. "This…is the monster attack for New York I guess…right?" Kinoumon asked, forcing a grin. K.H. smiled back, grabbing his bag and rushing out the door. He was hyped, ready to take on Fineramon.

* * * * * *

Legionarimon clashed his mandibles together, ready to make mince meat out of Fineramon.

Fineramon was a large frog like Digimon, about the size of Legionarimon. Razor like fins stretched out from his fore legs and across his back. Strangely crimson eyes glared at Kinoumon, silently accepting the challenge K.H.'s Digimon offered.

"Be careful Legionarimon…" K.H. warned, his emerald Digivice gripped tightly in his right hand. "Those fins look sharp…"

"I always am," Legionarimon responded, running forward, snapping his mandibles, ready to crush Fineramon.

Fineramon quickly raised both his fore fins, stopping the mandibles from crushing his neck. Legionarimon tried to force his mandibles closed. The two Digimon struggled for a few moments, before Fineramon dived down and kicked Legionarimon in the chest with his hind legs.

"Urgh…cheap shot mon…" Legionarimon protested. Fineramon smirked in response.

"SONIC MANDIBLES!"

Legionarimon clashed his mandible together in rapid succession. A shockwave of energy glided through the air, ready to slice Fineramon in two. Fineramon leaped into the air, evading the insect Digimon's attack.

"FINRA STORM!"

Fineramon curled up into a ball in the air, and began to spin rapidly. A storm of fin blades lashed out at Legionarimon, the majority impacting around him due to the inaccuracy of the attack, however, a few slammed into him, denting his chitinous armour.

"FINRA SLAM!"

Using the momentum gained from the spin, Fineramon darted towards his opponent, smashing against his head. Normally, one would think the armoured Digimon would win, but Legionarimon fell to the attack. Fineramon bounced back, landing on his feet with unbelievable grace, smirking at the end.

"Legionarimon!?" K.H. shouted, running up and kneeling down beside him, an arm around his neck.

"Heh…you shouldn't be up here you know," Legionarimon told K.H. getting up for a split second before collapsing back onto the ground. "It's dangerous…"

"You should be the one talking pal…" K.H. countered, stepping in front of Legionarimon. Fineramon smirked yet again. "You know bud, that smirk is REALLY pissing me off…" K.H. grumbled.

"FINRA SLAM!"

Fineramon curled up in his trademark spin, ready to crush the puny Human that stood in his way. K.H. raised his hands, hoping his frail limbs could absorb as much impact as possible.

"ICE BLAST!"

The freezing cold attack came from a surprising angle, creating a large barrier of ice between the Digimon and the Human. Fineramon slammed headfirst into the wall, falling back in a less graceful fashion, shaking the pain out of his head. Fineramon growled harshly, turning his head towards the river, where the attack came from.

A massive emerald serpent splashed past, halting to a stop. Three passengers were holding onto his horn: two humans and one Digimon.

"Nice shot Seadramon," the male human applauded, leaping down from the Digimon's head. The other, a female, and her Digimon also leaped off. Both teens held a strange looking Digivice that K.H. never saw before. Fineramon growled at the two, kneeling down and ready to pounce on the new targets. He completely ignored his original prey.

"Alright Palmon, time to Digivolve," the girl told her plant like Digimon, placing the Digivice near her. Palmon nodded, the Digivice bursting with energy.

"Palmon…Digivolve to…Togemon!"

In a blink of an eye…the small plant became a large two-legged cactus with big red gloves on her fists.

"Let's rock! NEEDLE SPRAY!"

Togemon let loose a hail of sharp pointy needles, much more accurate then Fineramon and his Finra Storm. Most imbedded into the soft skin of the frog like Digimon, but he seemed to ignore the pain, leaping up towards the Digimon and their companions.

"FINRA STORM!"

Fineramon rolled up into a ball again, unleashing the storm of razor fins that didn't seem to stop this time. Both Seadramon and Togemon shielded their partners from the blizzard.

"Is that an Ultimate level Digimon?!" the female cried out, kneeling down and placing her hands over her head. Togemon leaned over her, absorbing fins.

"Sure seems like it!" the boy cried back, protected by Seadramon who wrapped his serpentine form around the boy. K.H. 's mind raced with thought, trying to figure out what to do.

"Seadramon, use an Ice Blast and create another shield!" K.H. shouted out. Seadramon perked up, determination renewed his eyes.

"ICE BLAST!"

The polar ice blasted forward in a wide angle, initially freezing the razor fins in place, before creating a large semi dome that encircled the two Digimon and Humans from the attack. New royally annoyed and landing on the newly created ice dome, Fineramon gazed back at K.H., death sparkling in his eyes. With one powerful push from his hind legs, the amphibian leaped at K.H.

The first ice barrier suddenly shattered, tossing ice shrapnel everywhere and knocking Fineramon back. Replacing the barrier was a small floating tile, bathed in an aura of brown light. On the tile was an unfamiliar picture.

"It's a Crest…but I haven't seen it before…" the girl spoke in awe. On the Crest was a strange symbol: two question marks hooked together at the top of the bend, with an exclamation mark cutting through the point of intersection. The Digimon and Humans stared at the Crest for a long moment, before the Crest chose its master. It dashed into K.H.'s Digivice, the symbol now on the screen.

"So…this is a Crest…" K.H. thought, glancing back at Legionarimon, who was now back on his feet, ready to test out the new Crest. "Ready friend?" K.H. asked his Digimon partner. A sharp nod gave him the answer he wanted to see. The Digi-Destined pointed his Digivice towards the Digimon.

"Legionarimon…Digivolve to…"

Brown light surrounded the Digimon, though it was clear he was growing in size. Slowly, the two hind legs merged together, the fore legs growing in size. Slithering energy peered out of the forehead, as more indistinguishable things began to grow out of various body parts.

"Dirubramon!"

It was clear what the new insect-like Digimon resembled. He was hunched backed, with long blue tentacles slithering out of his forehead. Fins streaked across chitinous armour and two large arms provided support for the body. A large tail with blades and a pincer came out of his back to support the main body.

"EEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" the girl screeched out, disgusted by the form.

"Okay Mimi…you don't have to be so verbal about it…" the boy replied.

"But it's so…slimy, Michael!" the one called Mimi cried out loudly. K.H. shook his head, smiling a bit at the turn of events.

"FINRA SLAM!"

Fineramon rolled up into his ball shape, rushing forward and ready to knock the Digimon over again. This time, however, Dirubramon was ready for the attack.

With amazing agility, Dirubramon flipped around and smashed the ball with the blunt end of his tail, like a baseball bat hitting a baseball. Fineramon went flying into the air.

"Subterranean TENDRIL!"

Dirubramon thrust his tail into the ground, some unknown attack travelling underground. Suddenly, dozens of spikes shot up from the ground, right at the point of impact for Fineramon. The Digimon was impaled with the majority of the spikes, croaking in pain before turning into small bits of data. With that final attack, Dirubramon reverted back into his Rookie level form, smiling proudly of his achievement.

But K.H.'s attention wasn't to the battle anymore, it was now to his Digivice, that held his Crest. The symbol of the Crest was there, but what was strange was only half was 'drawn in'. His left half was fully coloured, with the right half was shadowed, faded, as if he didn't own it.

"What does it mean…?" K.H. thought.
