Ken bent down and inspected the tracks made by Puppetmon, which had led out of the burnt forest, which him and Yolei had found earlier.
"Um...Ken?" Yolei called, cutting into his thoughts. "Hate to interrupt your survey but...WILL YOU HELP ME WITH THESE GUYS?!!"
Ken jumped and sweatdropped. "S-S-Sorry Yolei!
Ken almost burst out laughing when he saw the work Yolei and Hawkmon had done on the injured Gabumon and Agumon, whom they found battered and bruised nearby, earlier.
"Apologies Agumon..." Hawkmon said, wrapping the third bandage around the battered and bruised Digimon's arm. "...but I never pictured a future career in the medical profession!"
"So guys..." Ken asked. "Are you sure Puppetmon did this?"
"We're sure..." Gabumon muttered, holding the bag of ice to his head that Yolei gave him. "He referred to us as 'the ones who tried to destroy him', so a million-to-one odds it was him!"
"Say Yoeli..." Wormon said, slithering over beside Yoeli who was wrapping another bandage around Gabumon's leg. "Are you trying to turn them into Mummymon or something?!"
Agumon and Gabumon snickered as Yolei nearly walloped Wormon around the head, but Ken quickly came to his resuce and scooped him up in his arms.
"Why you no good-" Yolei snarled.
"Ahem! As I was saying..." Ken continued, glaring at Yolei to be silent. "I wouldn't worry too much guys, I think we can beat Puppetmon if we are forced into conflict with him!"
"But Ken! We can't DNA digivolve anymore! The highest anyone of our Digimon can digivolve up to is the Champion level!" Yolei pointed out.
Ken tuted. That would certainly prove a problem, what six Champions and one Ultimate (Nefertimon), may yet win the day but it was a long shot.
Suddenly Ken's D-Terminal beeped in his pocket and Ken put Wormon on the ground and read the e-mail.
"It's from Davis!" Ken exclaimed. "'Dear Guys, we have found Puppetmon terrorising some Koromon at the Koromon village, please meet us there as soon as possible-Davis'.....hmm...oh wait there's a PS...'PS I think I may have a chance with Kari this time'!"
Yolei quickly jumped up and held up her D3. "We gotta go right away!"
"Because Davis has a chance with Kari?!"
Yolei sweatdropped. "No! Because of Puppetmon!"
"Right!" Ken nodded, getting out his D3. "Time for Digi-volving!"
"Hawkmon digivoled to..."
"Wormon digivolved to..."
"...Aquilamon!"
"...Stingmon"
Stingmon picked up Ken and they took off towards the Koromon village, as Yolei hopped on Aquilamon and followed in the same direction.
"Wait!" Gabumon called after them. "You never gave us a prescription! What will we do Agumon? Agumon?!"
Gabumon gasped when he saw his friend was completely covered in bandages, from head to toe!
"I'mve most mall meeling min my mody!*" Agumon mumbled under the various layers of bandages.
*Translated as "I've lost all feeling in my body!"
*
"Huh? Hey it's a message from Davis! ....Puppetmon?! It can't be!"
"Something wrong TK?" Cody asked, as Pegasusmon did a dive under the clouds.
"According to Davis, Puppetmon has returned! And is at the Koromon Village!" TK gasped, showing Cody the e-mail on his D-Terminal.
Cody and Armdaillomon, who were perched beside TK on Pegasusmon's back, looked at each other and back at TK.
"He was one of the Dark Masters, right?" Cody asked.
TK nodded. "That's right...and if this is true, we're in a heap of trouble!"
"But TK!" Pegasusmon exclaimed, speaking for the first time. "I flown very far from the Koromon Village! At my fastest, it will be some time until we get there!"
"Well lets get going!" TK ordered.
And with that, Pegasusmon did a complete U-turn and set off in the direction they came.

"Puppet Pummel!" Puppetmon roared, running forward, swinging his mallet.
"Look out Kari!" Nefertimon shouted, shoving Kari aside, as she jumped in the way of Puppetmon's onslaught.
The mallet collided with Nefertimon's side, as she was shoved through one of the empty Koromon huts, and digivolved back to Gatomon.
"Oh no! Gatomon!" Kari exclaimed, picking up her fallen friend, she was carrying some several nasty bruises.
"I'm s-s-s-sorry...Kari..." Gatomon mumbled.
Puppetmon chuckled nastily, walking toward the two. "Hah! I have you now!"
Gatomon, running on pure adrenaline, jumped out of Kari's arms, toward Puppetmon.
"You're going to be my new scratching post! Lightning Claw!" Gatomon yelled, slashing Puppetmon across the face.
"Youch!" Puppetmon screamed, grabbing his wooden cheek. "You guys don't play fair! Puppet Pummel!" he roared, walloping Gatomon with his mallet, sending her into the air.
"Hey! That wasn't nice! X-vee Laser!" Exveemon roared, as the blast hit Puppetmon in the back, causing him to stumble slightly.
"Here you go Kari!" Davis said, running over and handing Kari an unconscious Gatomon.
"Oh...thank you Davis..." Kari sighed, looking over the many bruises her friend now had.
"I wouldn't worry Kari..." Davis assured. "When the other comes will form a pl-OUCH!"
Davis turned around, nursing his back, which had been dealt a blow by someone...or something!
"Huh?" Kari blinked. "The Koromon?!"
Behind the two Digidestined, were about a hundred Koromon, standing there defiant, with mean looks on their faces.
"Think they've been possessed by black gears? Tai told me about them..." Davis muttered to Kari.
"Bubble Blow!" the Koromon yelled again, as about eight pink bubbles collided with various parts of Davis' body.
"OWWWWWWW!!! Why did you have to hit me there?! Of all places!" Davis yelled, groaning in pain.
"Why are you doing this?" Kari asked, blinking. "We're the ones trying to help you!"
A small Koromon, the one Kari saw Puppetmon chasing earlier, spoke up. "No you're not! You're annoying a very good friend of ours!"
"Friend?" Davis repeated, looking at Kari. "As in, Puppetmon?"
"Yeah!" the small Koromon nodded. "Leave him alone! Or face the consequences!"
"Consequences?!" Davis laughed. "From you little guys? I mean, there's two of us, versus a couple hundred of ....you...little guys..."
Kari laid a hand on Davis' arm. "No...don't hurt them Davis! This has just been a big misunderstanding!"
"We're here!" they heard Ken call, as Stingmon flew down to them. Stingmon carefully put Ken on the ground and then ran off to assit Exveemon.
"Wait!" Davis called, waving his hands frantically. "Cut this out! Exveemon! Stingmon! Puppetmon! There's been a misunderstanding!"
Exveemon let go off Puppetmon as Puppetmon tumbled to the ground.
"Finally..." Puppetmon sighed, rolling his eyes.
"Hey, what's going on?" Yoeli asked, as her and Aquilamon swooped down on to the ground.
"Davis, why have we stopped fighting?"
"Uhh...well...em..." he stuttered, looking at Kari for support.
"What's going ON?!!" Yolei demanded, shaking her fits at her sides.
To Be Continued!
Will the Digidestined get an explanation for Puppetmon's new behaviour? And will TK be happy when he confronts an old enemy? We can safely say...HE WON'T!
"Um...Ken?" Yolei called, cutting into his thoughts. "Hate to interrupt your survey but...WILL YOU HELP ME WITH THESE GUYS?!!"
Ken jumped and sweatdropped. "S-S-Sorry Yolei!
