Part 5:
The Mekanorimon stood, nervously awaiting the woman in front of him to speak. They were in a room filled with mechanical equipment, a couple dozen other Mekanorimon working on a giant computer screen and console in front of them. The lone Mekanorimon stood away from the others with his back towards their backs.
"Well?" the woman asked,"What have you to report?"
"I...I regretfully inform you that subjects: Taichi Kamiya and Yamato Ishida escaped...." the Mekanorimon said.
"Well," the woman said, sighing,"I guess we'll have to make do with what you have. Give me whatever information you have on the two of them."
The Mekanorimon was shaking with nervousness. "S-Subjects escaped b-before sufficient information could be uptained."
"Well, give me whatever you did get."
"S-subjects escaped b-before testing could begin."
"What?" the woman asked,"You couldn't even start testing them?"
"No, madam."
The woman clenched her gloved hand. "How could you let them escape? Our master is about to start his campaign against the Digital World, and Kamiya and Ishida might be two of three beings that can stop him! We have to discover the identities of the Trinity before then. Our lord is becoming very impatient!"
"We do have a tracking unit on both subjects now," the Mekanorimon said.
"Good," the woman said,"Keep me informed."
"As you wish, Lady Arukennimon."
It was the middle of the night in Odiba Park. The light of the moon and stars glittered onto the grassy field, illuminating it much like the light of day. No one was there, of course, children wouldn't be up at this hour. Except, these were not normal children. Both the Kamiya and Ishida Digidestined were in an all out war with each other that night.
Both sides were at each other's throats, ready to injure, and if all else failed, destroy. Stingmon was up against Ankylomon, Exveemon was against Aquillamon, Seadramon fought Gargomon, Kabuterimon was battling Ikkakumon, and Angewomon was going head-to-head against MangaAngemon.
Stingmon buzzed in the air, while Ankylomon was trying to hit him with spikes from his tail. It was clear that Stingmon had the advantage. "Ankylomon has to think of something fast, or Ken's Digimon is going to score a knockout," Cody thought, watching the battle.
On the other side of the field, Kabuterimon and Ikkakumon were fighting. It was much like Ankylomon and Stingmon, only that Ikkakumon had a projectile attack. As Kabuterimon hovered in the air over him, he fired. "Harpoon Torpedo!"
Kabuterimon saw the horn speeding towards him. He quickly put his arms in a cross in front of him. "Electroshocker!" The ball of energy exploded on contact with the harpoon, blowing it to bits.
In the center of the field, Seadramon and Gargomon were going at it. Michael and Willis stared down each other while their Digimon battled. "Get him Seadramon!" Michael said.
"Don't let him beat you!" Willis cried,"You can do it, Gargomon!"
"Gargo Pellets!" Willis Digimon fired. He stood unmoving in his position on the ground, blasting while Seadramon opened his mouth.
"Ice Blast!" Michael's Digimon fired. Gargomon's bullets were instantly frozen, dropping to the ground.
Overhead, the flying Digimon were battling. Exveemon and Aquillamon were really going at it. Aquillamon and Yolei flew forward, intending to use his Grand Horn attack and ram Exveemon in the chest, but Davis and his Digimon were too fast. Before Aquillamon could use his horns, Exveemon had grabbed hold of them. "Ha," Davis laughed,"You can't beat me!"
Yolei growled. "I'm going to get you, you brat!" she said,"Just you wait."
Kari and T.K. were cheering their Digimon on from the ground, watching as the two angel Digimon were going all out. Both T.K. and Kari were ready to fight to the end if necessary, and so were their Digimon. Magna Angemon slashed down with the sword on his arm, but Angewomon flew up out of the way. She then brought her foot around and kicked Magna Angemon in the face.
"That is not fair," Magna Angemon said, rubbing his jaw,"You are wearing heels."
"Tough," Angewomon said, punching Magna Angemon in the jaw.
Suddenly, there came a high pitched whine. "Shoot!" T.K. shouted,"Its the cops! Ishida team, we're leaving!"
As the Ishida Digidestined ran off, T.K. turned back to Kari,"You got lucky this time! Just you wait until next time!"
"Kamiya team," Kari said, running away from the feild,"We're leaving too. Let's go."
Deep in the dark mountains of the Digital World, an evil castle sits, with evil towers, even more evil windows, and the most evil of all, is the being who is its lord.
Myotismon sat on his black throne, as he listen to the report given by his general. Devimon bowed. "Lord Myotismon, Taichi Kamiya and Yamato Ishida have been found."
Myotismon's lips curled back in a sinister smile. "Excellent. Were are they?"
"They have been found on Earth, sire," Devimon said,"And, they have indeed separated ways."
Myotismon nodded. "Even if they are not together, they are, without a shadow of a doubt, the two strongest Digidestineds. We must hit them, quickly, before their Digimon have a chance to reach their strongest levels. Prepare a strike team."
Devimon bowed. "At once, my lord." He turned and walked out.
Myotismon smiled to himself. "Thinking of something wicked?" he heard a voice said.
"Ah, Lady Devimon," he said, as she floated in,"Please, sit."
The female Digimon landed on the arm rest of Myotismon's throne. Crossing her legs, she leaned back against the chair. "Tell me, my darling, what do you have planed for the Digidestineds?"
"I have conquer most of all the land in the Digital World," he said,"My Empire has covered this entire continent, I wish to bring all the Digital World under my control, but...Earth is there! Earth represents the greatest treasure, I want that orb as my own! And I will have it, but, first I must destroy the Digidestineds, the ones that can stop me!"
Lady Devimon smiled as she wrapped her arms around Myotismon's neck. "I love it when you talk destruction!"
The next morning found Tai standing in the doorway of the Kamiya mansion, his arm resting on the door itself, listening to a police officer give him a report of the events of last night.
"....and so," the officer said,"the type of damage that we found at the park last night could only have been caused by a Digimon."
"So?" Tai asked,"Digimon do cross over to this world occasionally."
"There have been five separate incidences," the officer said.
"Really?" Tai asked, a surprised look on his face,"Well, I'm sorry, but, why are you telling me this?"
"Listen," the officer said,"I know you are a Digidestined, even if I can't prove it, and you know that I know. You also know that I know that you're training Digidestined."
"Even if I am," Tai said,"What makes you think that I'm training them to cause harm to this planet? We're protecting it."
"I've read your advertisements," the officer said,"I know you're rounding them up, but I don't know why. So you are under suspicion. Also, I don't know what you and Ishida have against each other, but all out fights with each other isn't protecting this world, its a gang war. You might think you're safe, but sooner or later you're going to mess up, and that's when I'll nail you, got it?"
"Certainly, Officer Kano. Have a nice day."
Kano mumbled something as he left. Tai closed the door and turned around. "'Five incidences?'" he asked Kari and Michael.
"Well," Kari said,"You see..um...ah..."
"I did not found this team, so you guys can get into a gang war!" he said, echoing Kano's statements,"Are you trying to get me arrested?"
"I thought you wanted us to fight them," Kari said.
"If they were doing something illegal," Tai said,"But you're as guilty as them now. I know you don't like T.K., but, you can't fight him using your Digimon. I taught you hand-to-hand combat, why aren't you using that?"
"Because," Kari said, looking at the ground,"he's a guy, and..I'm a girl, and guys are stronger than girls."
"Don't be stupid!" Tai said,"You're stronger than any guy your age."
"It's not that simple, Tai," Michael said.
"Why not?" he asked,"She can....come to think of it, you're my team's trainer, what were you doing out there last night?"
"Oh," Michael said, slightly started to sweat,"Well, you see, I...uh...that is to say...um...."
"Never mind," Tai said, sighing,"Kari, make a note for me that I have to call Catherine later."
"What am I?" Kari asked, with a slight smile,"Your secretary?"
"You're going to be if you pull another stunt like you did last night," Tai said.
"Why do you need to call Catherine?" Michael asked.
"Because she's our publicist, and I need to talk to her about the internet ads she has been posting." Tai started to walk towards the library,"I'll be downstairs if anybody wants me. You'd better get to school, Kari, or you're going to be late."
"Just because he's got the week off, doesn't mean he can show off," Kari said to herself as he put her backpack on,"Its almost summer vacation anyway."
"Well," Michael said, sitting down on the couch and reaching for the remote,"I've been out of school for a couple of weeks now."
"Lucky you," Kari said, walking out the door.
"Have a nice day at school, Kari," Michael said.
"Oh, Ken," Mrs. Ichijoji said, walking past the table as Ken was eating his breakfast,"Remember the other day, when your new friend Kari and her older brother Tai, drove you home?"
Ken swallowed. "Uh, yes," he said. It had happened after a training session.
"Do you remember that I said he looked familiar?" Mrs. Ichijoji said, placing a photo album on the table.
Ken nodded. "Yeah?"
"Well, I found out where I saw him before," she said, opening the album,"He was at Sam's funeral."
"What?" Ken asked confused,"He knew my brother?"
"I don't know," Mrs. Ichijoji said, pointing to a picture in the album,"We didn't know who he was, he just kind of watched the service from a distance, see?"
Ken looked at the picture his mother was pointing at. It was a picture of the funeral, everyone was cluttered together, in front of the coffin, but, there was a figure a little distance from the others. He was standing next to a tree, watching with a sad look on his face.
"Yeah," Ken said,"That's Tai, but, what was he doing there? I really don't remember the funeral too well, so, did he tell you why he was there?"
His mother shook her head. "No, I don't have any idea, after the service was over, he disappeared."
Ken took the photo out of the album. "I'm going to talk to him about this after school. Bye mom."
Mimi found Tai inside the computer room under the Kamiya Mansion. He was typing on the keyboard, and staring up at an image on the large computer screen. It was an image of a dark ring, with lines of information to the right.
"Tai," she said, walking inside the room,"What's..."
Tai quickly hit another button, and the screen faded. "Mimi," he said, a little annoyed,"Don't sneak up on me like that!"
"Sorry," his girlfriend said, walking into the room. "What did you just have up on the screen?"
"Nothing," he said,"Why are you here?"
She was a little hurt but his tone of voice. "I..I just wanted to know if you'd like to go to the mall with me?"
Tai sighed, and thought for a minute. "Yeah, why not? Al right, sure. Let's go."
"Great!" Mimi shrieked, happily. She grabbed Tai's arm as the two of them walked towards the elevator.
As the elevator started to move upward, Mimi thought about what was on the computer screen. "I recognized one what was on that screen," she thought,"It was one of those Dark Rings that was on the Bakemon that captured Tai and Matt, but, why would Tai have files on them? Why did he change the subject when I asked? He's hiding something, but what?"
At the junior high school, the Kamiya Digidestined sat together at the lunch table, as did the Ishida Digidestined. Normally, they just stared at each other from across the lunch room, but, today Ken had something to show everyone.
"Yeah," Kari said, looking at the picture,"That's Tai, but, why was he at your brother's funeral?"
"So, you don't know," Ken said, shaking his head.
"No," Kari said,"I don't."
"Your mother said that he gave no indication why he was there?" Izzy asked.
"None at all," Ken said,"He just came there, watched the service, then left."
"Strange," Davis said,"Maybe you should ask him."
"I will," Ken said.
"You might not get anything out of him though," Kari said,"He's very secretive, even to m-hold on, we've got trouble."
The Kamiya Digidestined turned and saw that T.K. and the rest of the Ishida Digidestined were walking towards them. "If the cops hadn't of showed up last night," T.K. said,"We would have had you."
"No," Kari said,"The Kamiya team would have crushed you."
TK. clenched his fist. "What do you say we finish our little 'gang war', as the cop that showed up at my house this morning put it."
"Where and when?" Kari asked.
"After school," T.K. said,"six tonight, in the soccer field."
"Agreed," Kari said.
The Ishida Digidestined turned around and left. "Kari," Izzy said,"Are you sure that we can.."
Kari nodded. "Don't worry. We'll be fine."
"That was a great training session," Willis said, handing Sora and Biyomon a towel each,"You're doing a great job."
"Really?" Biyomon asked.
Terriermon nodded. "Yes, you're power has grown much since we started. You might even make it to Ultimate soon."
"Really?" Sora asked.
"Yes," Matt said, walking into the gym,"You are doing a great job. You are a very competent Digidestined, Tai had no idea what he was talking about when he said otherwise."
"Tai?" Sora asked, as if she was trying to put a face to the name,"Oh, Tai, right, him."
"Hmm," Matt thought as he watched Sora wipe her forehead with the towel,"I knew that she had a crush on Tai when I recruited her, yet, it appears to have greatly diminished. I wonder why this makes me so happy. Could it be that I am starting to develop feelings for her? Could it be that I love her?"
"Oh shoot!" Sora said, looking at her watch," I've got to get home and cook diner. Bye guys."
"Bye," everyone said.
"She's really something, isn't she?" Matt asked, after she left.
Willis was going to answer, when his cell phone rang. "Hello?"
"Willis, its T.K. We are fighting the Kamiya Digidestined at the school in a duel. Its going to start in a few minutes. We need your help."
"I don't know," Willis said, turning away from Matt,"Didn't you know who say not to do you know what?"
"We need your help," T.K. said again.
Willis sighed,"Okay." He put his cell phone back in his pocket and turned to Matt. "If you'll excuse me, there's something I need to take care of."
"Sure," Matt said.
Outside, Willis nearly ran into Sora on the sidewalk. "Willis," she said,"What's the hurry?"
"The Kamiya Digidestined is fighting our team," he said,"They need my help."
"Should I come to?" Sora asked, feeling a surge of excitement.
"Yeah," Willis said,"Come on."
Michael quickly ran down the street, with Betamon hidden under his jacket. "I can't believe I'm doing this," he thought to himself,"Tai specifically said no more fights like this, yet, I'm running to engage in one. Kari, you know I could never leave you guys to fight alone, but, we're sure going to get it from Tai later. I hope you know what you're doing!"
Mimi was just walking past the junior high when she saw the a group of kids in the soccer field. She was just taking a short cut home, from bringing Tanemon to rest with the other flowers in one of the only non-polluted gardens in Japan, nothing more. She certainly did not expect to find the two Digidestined sides ready to fight. She knew that Tai didn't like the idea of a gang war, but, she was there, she couldn't leave.
"Hey Tanemon," she said into her purse,"Do you feel like giving Kari and the others a hand?"
"Sure!" her Digimon said.
Matt was sitting in the Ishida base, thinking about Sora, when a thought crossed his mind,"Why did Willis take Terriermon with him? They better not..."
Matt reached inside his pocket and pulled out his Digivice. He pressed the large button on the left several times, and a map with twelve blinking lights. "Shoot!" he said, standing up.
"What is it?" Gabumon asked.
"They're fighting again. Come on Gabumon, I'm getting tired of this."
"I don't believe it!" Tai said, holding his Digivice in his hand,"I told them not to fight like this anymore, yet, they're at it again!"
He walked towards the door. "Come on, Agumon."
"Where are we going?" his Digimon asked as they walked out of the Kamiya Mansion.
"To the fight."
The two sides stared each other down on the soccer field, each matched up with someone on the other team. "You're going down, T.K.," Kari said.
"You have a wonderful sense of humor," T.K. said.
"Digivolve guys," Kari said to her team.
"You too," T.K. said to his team.
"Are you ready for this, Cody?" Ken asked.
"Wormmon digivolve to Stingmon!"
"I'm ready to teach you a lesson!" Cody said.
"Armadillomon digivolve to Ankylomon!"
"Just because you're a girl," Davis said,"don't expect me to go easy on you."
"Veemon digivolve to Exveemon!"
"I'm going to destroy you and your sexist attitude!" Yolei shouted.
"Hawkmon digivolve to Aquillamon!"
"Looks like our rivalry just got bigger, huh?" Izzy asked.
"Tentomon digivolve to Kabuterimon!"
"I'm going to win!" Joe said.
"Gommamon digivolve to Ikkakumon!"
"I don't want to do this Sara," Mimi said,"But I will if I have to."
"Palmon digivolve to Togemon!"
"My name is Sora!" she shouted.
"Biyomon digivolve to Birdramon!"
"Let's finish this!" Michael said.
"Betamon digivolve to Seadramon!" "Seadramon digivolve to Megaseadramon!"
"Yes, let's," Willis said.
"Terriermon Golden Armor digivolve to Rapidmon!"
"You are going down, T.K.," Kari said.
"Gatomon digivolve to Angewomon!"
"Not before I take you down!" T.K. said.
"Patamon digivolve to Angemon!" "Angemon digivolve to Magna Angemon!"
The two sides lurched back, ready to spring forward and attack, when they suddenly heard two voices shout out. "Stop!"
"That's enough, T.K."
"Stand down, Kari."
The Ishida Digidestined turned around and saw Matt and Gabumon walk towards them from behind. The Kamiya Digidestined turned around and saw Tai and Agumon walk towards them from behind.
"Tai.." Kari said.
"Matt," T.K. said,"I can explain."
Tai and Matt didn't say anything as they walked through past their teams and stopped in front of them. They stared at each other for a few seconds. "Well," Matt said,"I guess it has come down to this then."
Tai nodded. "Let's settle our differences now."
"It didn't have to be this way," Matt said,"But, if we must."
Tai nodded. "Should we go all the way?"
Matt nodded. "Let's give them.." he mentioned to Tai's team, then to his own,"..something to see."
"Very well then," Tai said, holding out his Digivice. Matt held out his.
"Agumon..."
"Gabumon..."
"...Warp Digivolve!"
"Warp Digivolve?" Kari asked.
"What's that?" T.K. asked.
"Agumon warp digivolve to..."
"Gabumon warp digivolve to..."
Both sides watched as Agumon and Gabumon were covered by a white light. They digivolved to their Champion forms, Greymon and Garurumon. They were again covered by a white light, and digivolved to their Ultimate forms, Metalgreymon and Weregarurumon. Both sides weren't that shocked by them. However, they watched wide eyed and mouths opened when Metalgreymon and Weregarurumon were covered by a white light for a third time.
"What's happening?" Mimi asked.
"They're...digivolving again," Willis said, completely in shock.
When the light vanished, two new Digimon stood where Agumon and Gabumon once were.
"....Wargreymon!" the one in front of Tai said.
"...Metalgarurumon!" the other one said.
The two new Digimon didn't waste any time. They both flew up into the air and started to battle. Wargreymon brought his right claw around and slashed Metalgarurumon in the face. Metalgarurumon growled and head butted Wargreymon. Tai's Digimon brought his foot around to kick Matt's Digimon in the face, but he opened his mouth and chomped down on Wargreymon's leg. Wargreymon brought his arms down and slammed Metalgarurumon on the top of the head, free his leg.
"Tai," Kari said,"What's going on? How come your Digimon digivolved THREE times?"
"Matt," T.K. said, approaching his brother,"I think you've got some explaining to do."
Neither Tai nor Matt answered. They continued to watch the battle overhead.
"Tai!" Kari shouted,"What's going on?"
"They're Mega Digimon...." Angewomon said, her voice trailing off.
"What are Mega Digimon?" Izzy asked.
"Digimon at the highest evolutionary latter," Rapidmon said,"They are in their strongest forms."
"They're power must be immense," Magna Angemon said. "I had no idea that Gabumon had a Mega form."
"Nor did I know Agumon did," Angewomon said.
"Wow," Davis said,"Tai wasn't kidding when he said that he was one of the strongest Digidestined on earth."
"I don't believe it," Sora thought,"I was failing for a guy....that had this kind of power?"
Suddenly, the sky was lit up in a rainbow of colors. "What now?" Joe asked.
"A Digital Gate is opening!" Izzy said.
Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon stopped their battle to view what was happening. A large glowing circle was appearing in the sky. Out of it flew a horde of black objects.
"Devidramon!" Angewomon said.
"And Devimon is leading them!" Magna Angemon said, growling,"My arch enemy returns."
"Its Myotismon!" Tai and Matt said at the same time.
"Well," T.K. said,"Whoever it is, its pretty obvious what they want. Let's get ready to attack."
"There's no need," Tai said, turning to Matt.
"Yeah," Matt said,"Our Digimon will take care of it."
The two Megas flew towards the Devidramon squad. With practiced easy they tore through the army. "I don't believe it," Mimi said,"There must be hundreds of Devidramon, and yet, Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon are making mince meat out of them."
Within seconds all that was left of the squad was one Devidramon which Devimon was riding. "Do you want to try your luck against us?" Wargreymon asked.
"Or are you going to go home?"
Devimon growled. "I will return. Mark my words, " he said, flying into the Gate,"Myotismon knows where you are. He will destroy you!"
After the gate closed, Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon returned to their In-training forms, and the rest of the Digimon turned back as well.
"I guess there is no point in continuing this now, is there?" Tai asked.
"There will be other chances," Matt said,"But for now, let's just leave it as a tie, fair?"
Tai nodded.
As both sides walked away, none of them noticed a small, gear shaped Digimon resting in the bushes lining the soccer field. "Analysis complete," it said,"transmitting images to Mekanorimon base. Field agent out."

They were in a room filled with mechanical equipment, a couple dozen other Mekanorimon working on a giant computer screen and console in front of them.

As the Ishida Digidestined ran off, T.K. turned back to Kari,"You got lucky this time! Just you wait until next time!"
"Kamiya team," Kari said, running away from the feild,"We're leaving too. Let's go."

The female Digimon landed on the arm rest of Myotismon's throne. Crossing her legs, she leaned back against the chair. "Tell me, my darling, what do you have planed for the Digidestineds?"
"I have conquer most of all the land in the Digital World," he said,"My Empire has covered this entire continent, I wish to bring all the Digital World under my control, but...Earth is there! Earth represents the greatest treasure, I want that orb as my own! And I will have it, but, first I must destroy the Digidestineds, the ones that can stop me!"
Lady Devimon smiled as she wrapped her arms around Myotismon's neck. "I love it when you talk destruction!"

"Even if I am," Tai said,"What makes you think that I'm training them to cause harm to this planet? We're protecting it."
"I've read your advertisements," the officer said,"I know you're rounding them up, but I don't know why. So you are under suspicion. Also, I don't know what you and Ishida have against each other, but all out fights with each other isn't protecting this world, its a gang war. You might think you're safe, but sooner or later you're going to mess up, and that's when I'll nail you, got it?"
"Certainly, Officer Kano. Have a nice day."
Kano mumbled something as he left. Tai closed the door and turned around. "'Five incidences?'" he asked Kari and Michael.
"Well," Kari said,"You see..um...ah..."
"I did not found this team, so you guys can get into a gang war!" he said, echoing Kano's statements,"Are you trying to get me arrested?"
"I thought you wanted us to fight them," Kari said.
"If they were doing something illegal," Tai said,"But you're as guilty as them now. I know you don't like T.K., but, you can't fight him using your Digimon. I taught you hand-to-hand combat, why aren't you using that?"
"Because," Kari said, looking at the ground,"he's a guy, and..I'm a girl, and guys are stronger than girls."
"Don't be stupid!" Tai said,"You're stronger than any guy your age."
"It's not that simple, Tai," Michael said.
"Why not?" he asked,"She can....come to think of it, you're my team's trainer, what were you doing out there last night?"
"Oh," Michael said, slightly started to sweat,"Well, you see, I...uh...that is to say...um...."
"Never mind," Tai said, sighing,"Kari, make a note for me that I have to call Catherine later."
"What am I?" Kari asked, with a slight smile,"Your secretary?"
"You're going to be if you pull another stunt like you did last night," Tai said.
"Why do you need to call Catherine?" Michael asked.
"Because she's our publicist, and I need to talk to her about the internet ads she has been posting." Tai started to walk towards the library,"I'll be downstairs if anybody wants me. You'd better get to school, Kari, or you're going to be late."
"Just because he's got the week off, doesn't mean he can show off," Kari said to herself as he put her backpack on,"Its almost summer vacation anyway."
"Well," Michael said, sitting down on the couch and reaching for the remote,"I've been out of school for a couple of weeks now."
"Lucky you," Kari said, walking out the door.
"Have a nice day at school, Kari," Michael said.
"Oh, Ken," Mrs. Ichijoji said, walking past the table as Ken was eating his breakfast,"Remember the other day, when your new friend Kari and her older brother Tai, drove you home?"
Ken swallowed. "Uh, yes," he said. It had happened after a training session.
"Do you remember that I said he looked familiar?" Mrs. Ichijoji said, placing a photo album on the table.
Ken nodded. "Yeah?"
"Well, I found out where I saw him before," she said, opening the album,"He was at Sam's funeral."
"What?" Ken asked confused,"He knew my brother?"
"I don't know," Mrs. Ichijoji said, pointing to a picture in the album,"We didn't know who he was, he just kind of watched the service from a distance, see?"
Ken looked at the picture his mother was pointing at. It was a picture of the funeral, everyone was cluttered together, in front of the coffin, but, there was a figure a little distance from the others. He was standing next to a tree, watching with a sad look on his face.
"Yeah," Ken said,"That's Tai, but, what was he doing there? I really don't remember the funeral too well, so, did he tell you why he was there?"
His mother shook her head. "No, I don't have any idea, after the service was over, he disappeared."
Ken took the photo out of the album. "I'm going to talk to him about this after school. Bye mom."
Mimi found Tai inside the computer room under the Kamiya Mansion. He was typing on the keyboard, and staring up at an image on the large computer screen. It was an image of a dark ring, with lines of information to the right.
"Tai," she said, walking inside the room,"What's..."
Tai quickly hit another button, and the screen faded. "Mimi," he said, a little annoyed,"Don't sneak up on me like that!"
"Sorry," his girlfriend said, walking into the room. "What did you just have up on the screen?"
"Nothing," he said,"Why are you here?"
She was a little hurt but his tone of voice. "I..I just wanted to know if you'd like to go to the mall with me?"
Tai sighed, and thought for a minute. "Yeah, why not? Al right, sure. Let's go."
"Great!" Mimi shrieked, happily. She grabbed Tai's arm as the two of them walked towards the elevator.
As the elevator started to move upward, Mimi thought about what was on the computer screen. "I recognized one what was on that screen," she thought,"It was one of those Dark Rings that was on the Bakemon that captured Tai and Matt, but, why would Tai have files on them? Why did he change the subject when I asked? He's hiding something, but what?"
At the junior high school, the Kamiya Digidestined sat together at the lunch table, as did the Ishida Digidestined. Normally, they just stared at each other from across the lunch room, but, today Ken had something to show everyone.
"Yeah," Kari said, looking at the picture,"That's Tai, but, why was he at your brother's funeral?"
"So, you don't know," Ken said, shaking his head.
"No," Kari said,"I don't."
"Your mother said that he gave no indication why he was there?" Izzy asked.
"None at all," Ken said,"He just came there, watched the service, then left."
"Strange," Davis said,"Maybe you should ask him."
"I will," Ken said.
"You might not get anything out of him though," Kari said,"He's very secretive, even to m-hold on, we've got trouble."
The Kamiya Digidestined turned and saw that T.K. and the rest of the Ishida Digidestined were walking towards them. "If the cops hadn't of showed up last night," T.K. said,"We would have had you."
"No," Kari said,"The Kamiya team would have crushed you."
TK. clenched his fist. "What do you say we finish our little 'gang war', as the cop that showed up at my house this morning put it."
"Where and when?" Kari asked.
"After school," T.K. said,"six tonight, in the soccer field."
"Agreed," Kari said.
The Ishida Digidestined turned around and left. "Kari," Izzy said,"Are you sure that we can.."
Kari nodded. "Don't worry. We'll be fine."
"That was a great training session," Willis said, handing Sora and Biyomon a towel each,"You're doing a great job."
"Really?" Biyomon asked.
Terriermon nodded. "Yes, you're power has grown much since we started. You might even make it to Ultimate soon."
"Really?" Sora asked.
"Yes," Matt said, walking into the gym,"You are doing a great job. You are a very competent Digidestined, Tai had no idea what he was talking about when he said otherwise."
"Tai?" Sora asked, as if she was trying to put a face to the name,"Oh, Tai, right, him."
"Hmm," Matt thought as he watched Sora wipe her forehead with the towel,"I knew that she had a crush on Tai when I recruited her, yet, it appears to have greatly diminished. I wonder why this makes me so happy. Could it be that I am starting to develop feelings for her? Could it be that I love her?"
"Oh shoot!" Sora said, looking at her watch," I've got to get home and cook diner. Bye guys."
"Bye," everyone said.
"She's really something, isn't she?" Matt asked, after she left.
Willis was going to answer, when his cell phone rang. "Hello?"
"Willis, its T.K. We are fighting the Kamiya Digidestined at the school in a duel. Its going to start in a few minutes. We need your help."
"I don't know," Willis said, turning away from Matt,"Didn't you know who say not to do you know what?"
"We need your help," T.K. said again.
Willis sighed,"Okay." He put his cell phone back in his pocket and turned to Matt. "If you'll excuse me, there's something I need to take care of."
"Sure," Matt said.
Outside, Willis nearly ran into Sora on the sidewalk. "Willis," she said,"What's the hurry?"
"The Kamiya Digidestined is fighting our team," he said,"They need my help."
"Should I come to?" Sora asked, feeling a surge of excitement.
"Yeah," Willis said,"Come on."
Michael quickly ran down the street, with Betamon hidden under his jacket. "I can't believe I'm doing this," he thought to himself,"Tai specifically said no more fights like this, yet, I'm running to engage in one. Kari, you know I could never leave you guys to fight alone, but, we're sure going to get it from Tai later. I hope you know what you're doing!"
Mimi was just walking past the junior high when she saw the a group of kids in the soccer field. She was just taking a short cut home, from bringing Tanemon to rest with the other flowers in one of the only non-polluted gardens in Japan, nothing more. She certainly did not expect to find the two Digidestined sides ready to fight. She knew that Tai didn't like the idea of a gang war, but, she was there, she couldn't leave.
"Hey Tanemon," she said into her purse,"Do you feel like giving Kari and the others a hand?"
"Sure!" her Digimon said.
Matt was sitting in the Ishida base, thinking about Sora, when a thought crossed his mind,"Why did Willis take Terriermon with him? They better not..."
Matt reached inside his pocket and pulled out his Digivice. He pressed the large button on the left several times, and a map with twelve blinking lights. "Shoot!" he said, standing up.
"What is it?" Gabumon asked.
"They're fighting again. Come on Gabumon, I'm getting tired of this."
"I don't believe it!" Tai said, holding his Digivice in his hand,"I told them not to fight like this anymore, yet, they're at it again!"
He walked towards the door. "Come on, Agumon."
"Where are we going?" his Digimon asked as they walked out of the Kamiya Mansion.
"To the fight."
The two sides stared each other down on the soccer field, each matched up with someone on the other team. "You're going down, T.K.," Kari said.
"You have a wonderful sense of humor," T.K. said.
"Digivolve guys," Kari said to her team.
"You too," T.K. said to his team.
"Are you ready for this, Cody?" Ken asked.
"Wormmon digivolve to Stingmon!"
"I'm ready to teach you a lesson!" Cody said.
"Armadillomon digivolve to Ankylomon!"
"Just because you're a girl," Davis said,"don't expect me to go easy on you."
"Veemon digivolve to Exveemon!"
"I'm going to destroy you and your sexist attitude!" Yolei shouted.
"Hawkmon digivolve to Aquillamon!"
"Looks like our rivalry just got bigger, huh?" Izzy asked.
"Tentomon digivolve to Kabuterimon!"
"I'm going to win!" Joe said.
"Gommamon digivolve to Ikkakumon!"
"I don't want to do this Sara," Mimi said,"But I will if I have to."
"Palmon digivolve to Togemon!"
"My name is Sora!" she shouted.
"Biyomon digivolve to Birdramon!"
"Let's finish this!" Michael said.
"Betamon digivolve to Seadramon!" "Seadramon digivolve to Megaseadramon!"
"Yes, let's," Willis said.
"Terriermon Golden Armor digivolve to Rapidmon!"
"You are going down, T.K.," Kari said.
"Gatomon digivolve to Angewomon!"
"Not before I take you down!" T.K. said.
"Patamon digivolve to Angemon!" "Angemon digivolve to Magna Angemon!"
The two sides lurched back, ready to spring forward and attack, when they suddenly heard two voices shout out. "Stop!"
"That's enough, T.K."
"Stand down, Kari."
The Ishida Digidestined turned around and saw Matt and Gabumon walk towards them from behind. The Kamiya Digidestined turned around and saw Tai and Agumon walk towards them from behind.
"Tai.." Kari said.
"Matt," T.K. said,"I can explain."
Tai and Matt didn't say anything as they walked through past their teams and stopped in front of them. They stared at each other for a few seconds. "Well," Matt said,"I guess it has come down to this then."
Tai nodded. "Let's settle our differences now."
"It didn't have to be this way," Matt said,"But, if we must."
Tai nodded. "Should we go all the way?"
Matt nodded. "Let's give them.." he mentioned to Tai's team, then to his own,"..something to see."
"Very well then," Tai said, holding out his Digivice. Matt held out his.
"Agumon..."
"Gabumon..."
"...Warp Digivolve!"
"Warp Digivolve?" Kari asked.
"What's that?" T.K. asked.
"Agumon warp digivolve to..."
"Gabumon warp digivolve to..."
Both sides watched as Agumon and Gabumon were covered by a white light. They digivolved to their Champion forms, Greymon and Garurumon. They were again covered by a white light, and digivolved to their Ultimate forms, Metalgreymon and Weregarurumon. Both sides weren't that shocked by them. However, they watched wide eyed and mouths opened when Metalgreymon and Weregarurumon were covered by a white light for a third time.
"What's happening?" Mimi asked.
"They're...digivolving again," Willis said, completely in shock.
When the light vanished, two new Digimon stood where Agumon and Gabumon once were.
"....Wargreymon!" the one in front of Tai said.
"...Metalgarurumon!" the other one said.
The two new Digimon didn't waste any time. They both flew up into the air and started to battle. Wargreymon brought his right claw around and slashed Metalgarurumon in the face. Metalgarurumon growled and head butted Wargreymon. Tai's Digimon brought his foot around to kick Matt's Digimon in the face, but he opened his mouth and chomped down on Wargreymon's leg. Wargreymon brought his arms down and slammed Metalgarurumon on the top of the head, free his leg.
"Tai," Kari said,"What's going on? How come your Digimon digivolved THREE times?"
"Matt," T.K. said, approaching his brother,"I think you've got some explaining to do."
Neither Tai nor Matt answered. They continued to watch the battle overhead.
"Tai!" Kari shouted,"What's going on?"
"They're Mega Digimon...." Angewomon said, her voice trailing off.
"What are Mega Digimon?" Izzy asked.
"Digimon at the highest evolutionary latter," Rapidmon said,"They are in their strongest forms."
"They're power must be immense," Magna Angemon said. "I had no idea that Gabumon had a Mega form."
"Nor did I know Agumon did," Angewomon said.
"Wow," Davis said,"Tai wasn't kidding when he said that he was one of the strongest Digidestined on earth."
"I don't believe it," Sora thought,"I was failing for a guy....that had this kind of power?"
Suddenly, the sky was lit up in a rainbow of colors. "What now?" Joe asked.
"A Digital Gate is opening!" Izzy said.
Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon stopped their battle to view what was happening. A large glowing circle was appearing in the sky. Out of it flew a horde of black objects.
"Devidramon!" Angewomon said.
"And Devimon is leading them!" Magna Angemon said, growling,"My arch enemy returns."
"Its Myotismon!" Tai and Matt said at the same time.
"Well," T.K. said,"Whoever it is, its pretty obvious what they want. Let's get ready to attack."
"There's no need," Tai said, turning to Matt.
"Yeah," Matt said,"Our Digimon will take care of it."
The two Megas flew towards the Devidramon squad. With practiced easy they tore through the army. "I don't believe it," Mimi said,"There must be hundreds of Devidramon, and yet, Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon are making mince meat out of them."
Within seconds all that was left of the squad was one Devidramon which Devimon was riding. "Do you want to try your luck against us?" Wargreymon asked.
"Or are you going to go home?"
Devimon growled. "I will return. Mark my words, " he said, flying into the Gate,"Myotismon knows where you are. He will destroy you!"
After the gate closed, Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon returned to their In-training forms, and the rest of the Digimon turned back as well.
"I guess there is no point in continuing this now, is there?" Tai asked.
"There will be other chances," Matt said,"But for now, let's just leave it as a tie, fair?"
Tai nodded.
As both sides walked away, none of them noticed a small, gear shaped Digimon resting in the bushes lining the soccer field. "Analysis complete," it said,"transmitting images to Mekanorimon base. Field agent out."
