"Wow! What a cute story!" Yolei smiled, when Puppetmon and the Koromon had finished their tale.
Yolei, Kari, Davis, Ken and their Digimon were seated around a fire, in the town square of the Koromon villlage, as Puppetmon told his tale, (with some help from the small Koromon).
"You okay Gatomon?" Veemon asked, turning to the feline Digimon, who was covered in several bandages.
"I'm fine Veemon..." Gatomon grinned, under the bandage around her neck. "I'm sure I gave you a scare there!"
"You sure did!" Veemon agreed. "Even Davis hadn't stopped me, I would have ripped Puppetmon apart!"
"You threatening me scaly?" Puppetmon asked, his eyes narrowed into slits at Veemon.
"Oh no! Don't worry!" Wormon assured. "Veemon is just showing off to Gatomon! As usual occurrence when they are around each other!"
"Yeah! That's right Wormon!" Veemon nodded, then he gasped when he realised what Wormon had said. "No! No! W-Wait a minute!" he protested, shaking his hands frantically.
The Digimon all laughed, when meanwhile, the Digidestined were conversing amongst themselves.
"Well, I sent a e-mail to Izzy!" Yolei said, as she pressed the button on her D-Terminal. "I gave him an explanation as to why were late, so he shouldn't be too worried!"
"Yeah..." Ken nodded. "But imagine his surprise when he realises that Puppetmon is now on our side? Even I find it hard to believe..."
"But Yolei..." Davis began. "Didn't you say you had a ten-page English assignment?"
"Oh don't worry!" Yolei said. "Ken will do it for me! Right, Ken?"
"Uh...I will?" Ken sweatdropped but got a sharp nudge from Yolei. "Agh! Right! Of course I will...!"
"Oh I see..." Davis chuckled, a mischivious grin on his face. "Well you needn't say anymore Ken! I get it now!"
"Get what?"
Davis sighed. "Ken, for someone who used to be a boy genius your pretty slow on the uptake!"
"Hey! Kari? You okay?" Davis asked, turning to the girl beside him.
"Where's TK?" Kari wondered. "He should have been here by now...maybe we should e-mail him..."
"Aw...don't worry Kari!" Davis soothed. "TM is fine! He and Cody are well able to handle themselves!"
"Excuse me?"
Davis jumped when he suddenly saw Puppetmon sitting beside him.
"Ah! Don't do that!" Davis yelled, sweatdropping.
Puppetmon nodded. "Sorry...I was just wondering I never played hide and seek with humans before, for real, I was wondering..." he stopped, trying to think of what to say next.
"Yes?" Davis asked.
"Isn't it obvious Davis? Puppetmon wants to play hide-and-seek with us!" Kari grinned.
"Hide-and-seek? But I haven't played that since I was five! I ain't gonna-agh!" Davis was about to go on, when he got a sharp nudge from Kari. "Sure thing..." he mumbled, nursing his arm.

So, in minutes, the group were standing in the middle of a nearby forest, along with Puppetmon, who, (at Kari's request), left the mallet behind at the Koromon village.
"Do I have to be one who counts?" Davis moaned. "I could never find anyone in hide-and-seek!"
"No wonder..." Yolei rolled her eyes. "You couldn't find anyone if they were standing in front of you!"
"Hey!"
"Alright you brats! Cut this out!" Puppetmon shouted, covering his eyes. "I'm counting! One...two...three..."
The Digidestined and Digimon quickly seperated and ran off in different direction.
"Hey Kari!" Davis called. "Can me and Veemon hide with you and Gatomon?"
Kari pretended she hadn't heard Davis and dived behind bush, as Davis and Veemon then climbed up a tree.
"He'll never find us up here!" Veemon grinned, as him and Davis clambered up the trunk.
"Whatever..." Davis sighed.
*
TK eyes darted across the forest, as Pegasusmon flew towards the Koromon village.
TK's determined to find Puppetmon, Cody thought. Of course TK fought Puppetmon years ago, but I still wonder...what are we going to do when we find him? Kill him?
"You okay Cody?" Armdadillomon asked.
"Huh? I'm fine Armadillomon...just thinking about the coming battle..." Cody said.
"TK!" Pegasusmon shouted, pointing down into the tree with his hoove. "Look down there!"
TK looked down and gasped at the sight before him.
TK spied Kari and Gatomon huddled behind a bush, and Puppetmon nearby!
"I know I saw one of those Digidestined come this way!" Puppetmon muttered, his eyes darting around the trees.
Puppetmon edged ever closer to the bush, but TK stopped him short.
"Stop right there Puppetmon!" TK shouted. "We're here to put a stop to your evil ways!"
"TK!" Kari shouted in suprise, coming out of her hiding place. "Don't-"
"Shooting Stars!" Pegasusmon bellowed, as the stars shot towards Puppetmon.
Puppetmon yelled in agony as the stars hit him, knocking him through several trees, including the one Davis and Veemon were hiding in.
The two tumbled out and landed on the ground, Veemon landed on his feet, but Davis landed on his head.
"Aw...man!" Davis mumbled. "That is really going to hurt tomorrow!"
Cody and Armdaillomon landed on the ground beside Kari, as Pegasusmon took off in the direction Puppetmon had crashed.
"Now wait TK!" Kari shouted, as Pegasusmon took off.
"What's wrong Kari?" Cody wondered.
"It's Puppetmon! He's not evil anymore! TK's made a mistake!" Kari exclaimed.
"Uh oh, looks like TK put his foot in it!" Armadillomon gulped.
"What's wrong guys? We heard fighting!" Ken called over to them, as he, Yolei, and thier Digimon ran towards them.
"C'mon! No time to explain!" Davis said, as he and the others ran towards where Puppetmon had landed.
***
"Where is he?" TK wondered aloud, as Pegasusmon swopped down through the forest, looking for any sign of Puppetmon.
TK then saw Puppetmon leaning his back against a tree, struggling to stand up, his head bowed.
"Did I do that?!" Pegasusmon muttered, puzzled. "That guy is a Mega Digimon!"
Pegausmon landed nearby, and TK got off and walked toward Puppetmon cautiously. "Umm...I guess you are surrending Puppetmon? Puppetmon?"
Puppetmon did answer, and barely raised his head to acknowledge TK's prescence, he was breathing heavily.
"Y-You okay?" Tk asked, not believeing his concern for the Dark Master, he looked down. "Oh my..."
TK saw that Puppetmon had been impaled on the tree, by a big low branch, and TK realised that Puppetmon was dying.
"I'm sorry..." TK mumbled. "But you were going to hurt my friends..."
Puppetmon struggled to speak. "Wasn't TK....was playing...they...my friends...all I wanted was...f-f-f-f-"
Puppetmon slumped, and exploded as his Digital Energy vanished and Puppetmon was gone.
TK could scarecly believe what he head. "Puppetmon was PLAYING with the guys?!"
"Yeah...thats right TM!"
TK turned around and saw the others and their Digimon, not looking at all impressed.
"G-Guys..." TK walked foward. "It w-was an accident...I didn't realise..."
Kari shouted at TK. "All he wanted was to be our friend! And you...killed him!" Tears welled in Kari's eyes as she ran off in the oppisite direction, crying.
"Hey Kari! Wait up!" TK called after her, breaking into a run.
"Kari!" Davis and Gatomon also called but Ken stood in their way.
"Huh? What are you doing Ken?!" Davis protested.
"Look guys..." Ken insisted. "Trust me, I think they need this..."
Yolei, Kari, Davis, Ken and their Digimon were seated around a fire, in the town square of the Koromon villlage, as Puppetmon told his tale, (with some help from the small Koromon).
"You okay Gatomon?" Veemon asked, turning to the feline Digimon, who was covered in several bandages.
"I'm fine Veemon..." Gatomon grinned, under the bandage around her neck. "I'm sure I gave you a scare there!"
"You sure did!" Veemon agreed. "Even Davis hadn't stopped me, I would have ripped Puppetmon apart!"
"You threatening me scaly?" Puppetmon asked, his eyes narrowed into slits at Veemon.
