Here it is the first World Tour Chapter and the part where those who were 100^th visitors on my site are actually in the fic. In this case, it's Crystal and Angela the country in question Italy. And by the way you all know this but I don't own Digimon.

Chapter 42: Mission One Italy
Jenn and I walked though the peaceful night sky of Rome. It was weird to see night already we had just woken up at six AM three hours ago and it was already night here, weird how the international borderline could play tricks on you like that.
"It doesn't looks like the Digimon in Rome are going to just jump out at us like they did at home," Jenn said. "Looks like we better go looking for them."
"Yeah you're right," I said unclipping my Digivice from my waist.
"We may not have to look," Elecmon said. "There's a Digimon right there."
Three heads turned towards a tree branch to where Elecmon was pointing, only to see an empty tree branch.
"Oh yeah that's one amazing Digimon," I said. "It's Treebranchmon, I think you're seeing things Elecmon."
"I don't get it," my Digimon said. "I could have sworn I saw a Digimon up there, it was a blue fox type Digimon."
"Like I said, you're seeing things." I said looking at the screen of my D3. "The radar never indicated a Digimon there."
"There was one there!" Elecmon yelled. "I swear there was!"
"Maybe it's this one," Jenn said. "There's a Digimon about a block away."
I glanced back down at my Digivice there was a Digimon not too far away.
"Then let's send that Digimon home." I said. "Jenn you can lead the way."
I clipped my Digivice back to my pants, as Jenn started following the radar on here Digivice beginning to lead us through the streets of Rome Italy. He walked for about five minutes before Jenn finally stopped.
"It should be right about here." Jenn said as we looked up.
We all looked up in awe at the sight in front us; it wasn't a Digimon though it was a huge fountain with a huge island in the center of it, which contained several Roman statues atop of it with water running down it.
"Wow," Penguinmon said. "That's one big fountain."
"It's the Trevi fountain to be exact." Jenn said. "It was built sometime in the eighteenth century."
"So where's the Digimon?" Elecmon asked.
"It should be here," Jenn said continuing to look at her Digivice.
"Now whose seeing things," Elecmon boasted.
"She's not," Penguinmon said pointing at a bench in front of the giant fountain. "There's a Digimon right there, it's just not noticeable because it's only a rookie."
She was right on the bench that Penguinmon was pointed to was a small dog like Digimon, the majority of his body was beige with the exception of his ears and tail which were pink. No one noticed it because it was lying on the bench limply; it looked to be pretending to be a stuffed animal, the perfect chance for us to attack it and send it back to the Digital World.
"It's a Labramon," Penguinmon said. "Like I said before he's just a rookie, we won't have to Digivolve."
"Great, ready guys?" I said to the Digimon. They both nodded. "Let's go."
We slowly approached the bench and Labramon, until the Digimon felt they were close enough to attack.
"Sparkling Thunder!"
"Ice Slide!"
Labramon's ears twitched the second the attacks were launched and jumped out of the way of both of them as they smashed the bench he had once been lying on. He had seen the attacks coming, I should have predicted that, he was a dog Digimon and he probably had sensitive hearing like a dog. The Labrador Digimon jumped on all fours and growled at our two Digimon, he was ready to fight.
Penguinmon and Elecmon were now on opposite sides of him, while Jenn and I were in front. Labramon looked to his right to see Penguinmon, and his left side was Elecmon, and in front of him were Jenn and I. He soon realized he was outnumbered, unfortunately we didn't realize the gap we had left him and he darted in the empty space behind him.
"Hey!" Penguinmon yelled.
"We can't let him get away," I yelled. "If we even leave one stray Digimon here it could upset the balance."
"So is this where you yell after that Digimon?" Elecmon asked.
"Yes!" I yelled running in pursuit of the small dog like Digimon.
Both Labramon and the four of us darted between crowds of people until Labramon eventually ducked into a deserted alley, and we quickly followed. We were able to chase Labramon down the alley for a while until the alley split into two, and Labramon had gotten a bit ahead of us so we had no idea which way he'd gone.
"You and Elecmon go left, Penguinmon and I will take right." Jenn said.
I nodded, and without stopping we split up going in our designated direction. Elecmon and I soon discovered that we were the lucky ones to end up going in the right direction. We turned a corner to hear his panting just ahead of us, and turned another corner to not just hear Labramon but to actually see him. He was pretty fast, the only reason we'd manage to catch up with him was because he'd run into a dead end, we had him now.
"Get that Digiport ready Kris."
"On it," I said popping open my laptop.
"Sparkling Thunder!"
Labramon quickly dodged the attack, right before getting hit by a second one. The hit had done enough; Labramon was weak enough now that he couldn't escape the Digiport. I held my Digivice up to the computer.
"Digiport open!" I said beginning to aim the computer and the Digiport at Labramon, just as I felt a blunt object hit me on the head causing me to drop the laptop and the Digiport to close.
"You jerk!" a female voice yelled as I was hit on the head a second time. "Leave him alone! Why did you attack him? He didn't do anything to you!"
"Ow Ow!" I yelled as I was hit on the head two or three more times.
"How could you attack a defenseless dog?"
"If you would just stop hitting me on the head I could explain." I yelled still getting hit on the head with what I now identified as a book.
She finally stopped hitting me and I stood up again, and I saw the girl who had attacked me. She looked to be about a year older than me, and had long brown hair with blonde streaks. Labramon ran past Elecmon and I and into the girl's arms.
"Are you okay Labramon?" the girl asked.
"Fine Crystal," Labramon said. "I've been better though."
"Hold it, you knew that he's not a dog, and that he's a Digimon."
"Yeah, he's my Digimon," Crystal said. "But that still doesn't explain why you attacked him!"
Her Digimon? But that meant that she was a Digidestined. As that thought entered my mind, the e-mail that the American Digidestined Michael had sent me, the e-mail that had changed my life, in it he had said: "There are literately hundreds of Digidestined around the world." I had completely forgotten about that.
The sound of four footsteps could be heard around the corner as Jenn and Penguinmon came from around the corner.
"He wasn't - oh found him - uh who's this?"
I smiled. "She's one of us," I pointed to her waist and where her Digivice was clipped to her waist. It wasn't the newer model D3 like ours; it was the basic Digivice that Tai and the others had.
"Your Digidestined?" Jenn said.
"Yeah she is," I said. "I completely forgot to tell you guys that our team and Tai's team aren't the only Digidestined. We're just the strongest ones since we have crests, but there are others all over the world who have the classic Digivice."
"Yes I assumed that you were both Digidestined since you had Digimon of your own, though I haven't seen you around, I know most of the Digidestined around here." Crystal said. "But that doesn't answer why you were attacking Labramon!"
"Sorry about that, we didn't know that he had a partner, we -"
"Oh I see!" she interrupted. "You thought he was one of those other Digimon. The ones that have been attacking everyone."
"Exactly," Jenn said. "Those Digimon have been sent here against their will, and their lost, away from home, confused and scared. We're Digidestined from Canada, we're here to help send them back to the Digital World. Oh and by the way, I'm Jenn, this is my partner Penguinmon, and this is Kris, and his partner Elecmon."
"I'm Crystal," she said friendly. "And I believe you've already met my partner Labramon."
"How long have these other Digimon been around?" I asked.
"They appeared earlier this afternoon, they were attacking the Trevi Fountain. Labramon and I came down here to stop them, but they were gone when we got here. I went to give a friend and a fellow Digidestined a call while Labramon guarded the fountain, until you attacked him!"
"Once again very sorry about that."
"Oh my God the fountain!" Crystal yelled as she came to a sudden realization. "We left it, those Digimon could be back by now!"
"Don't worry," I said. "When we were back there a second ago all we saw was that enormous fountain, there's no Digimon there."
"I wouldn't bet on that." Jenn said. She was looking at the radar screen of her Digivice. "According to the D3 there are four Digimon there right now."
"We gotta go now!" Crystal yelled. "That fountain is a part of Rome's history we can't let those Digimon destroy it."
"Don't worry we're not, we came all the way from Canada just protect our world and that's what we're going to do."
Without even letting the others know Elecmon and I darted in the direction that would lead us out of the alley, but I had only gotten two steps in front of Jenn and Penguinmon before two dozen blue glowing razor sharp energy beams shot out of nowhere. They snagged my clothes and pinned me to the wall, I struggled to move, but the blue energy shards held me tightly.
"Oh what is it now?" I groaned.
Almost out of nowhere a blue coloured fox Digimon, which was about my height appeared in front of us.
"See!" Elecmon yelled. "I wasn't seeing things."
"Bluenamon!" Crystal yelled, I assumed that Bluenamon was the new fox Digimon's name. "Sure is great to see you! If you're here that mean's so is Angela."
"Good guess," a dark haired girl said as she emerged from the shadowy corner of the alley, who I assumed was Angela.
"Why do you always have to make a dramatic entrance?" Crystal said as she grinned. "You didn't have to pin Kris to the wall just to make your presence known."
"This isn't about entrances," Angela said. "It's about cutting off all this trouble at its source."
"What's its source?" Labramon asked.
I didn't need an answer I knew exactly what Angela was implying.
"Them?" Crystal said. "They're not the source! These Digimon aren't being told to do they're just lost and confused. I can tell I saw the looks on their faces on the TV."
"I'm not arguing with you there, but there's got to be a reason they're lost in the real world in the first place and that reason is that these four pushed them through a Digiport and into the real world."
"That's insane!" I yelled. "Why would we do that? We're Digidestined just like you, we fight for the good. Why would we want to risk these Digimon, and our world by sending them through the Digiport?"
"I didn't say I knew the answer to that question, but you have to admit, it's a little strange that these Digimon show up, and mysteriously so show up at the same time. I know all the Digidestined here, and neither of you are one of them."
"Angela they showed up as soon as the Digimon did because here because they want to send the Digimon back."
"I heard you're conversation, funny how some Canadians just happened to be in Italy while the Digimon were attacking, funny how you knew exactly when to be in Italy to stop them. What? Did a little birdie come out of the sky and tell you?"
"Actually it was more of a cat, a tiger to be exact." Elecmon said.
"Yes it's true that they showed up as soon as the Digimon did, but they only did so they could help, not because they sent them."
"Why do you believe that Crystal? Because they told you? Really you're too trusting sometimes."
"And you're too paranoid!"
"I'm just careful."
"Excuse me but we have to time to argue about this!" Jenn yelled. "At the moment there are four Digimon that could be attempting to destroy the Trevi fountain."
"The Trevi?" Angela yelled. "Bluenamon, we'll deal with them later. Let's go."
Bluenamon nodded her response. "Alright Angela." She disappeared as Angela began running down the alleyway.
"Come on, she'll need some help," Crystal said starting to run down the alley, as Jenn and Penguinmon started to follow.
"Excuse me!" I yelled. "But could you get me down first."
Both girls and their Digimon stopped running, and backtracked to help me. It took longer than we would have thought, those energy shards were imbedded into the wall pretty deep, and it took off five of them just to pull one of them out, but as soon as they did we were running out of that alley as fast as we possibly could. We emerged from the alley to find that Jenn's Digivice had been right there were four Digimon in the fountain area. Three of them were in the fountain themselves, all four of them looked similar in appearance, they were all ogre like Digimon. One of them had green skin, and held a wooden club in his hand, a second ogre like Digimon, which looked pretty much the same except that he had red skin, and held leopard skin loincloth, and held a club shaped bone. While the other two had blue skin and several icicles, protruding from their backs, and held a club shaped icicles.
"Recognize them?" Jenn asked eyeing the Digimon.
"Yeah, those icy ones are Hyogamon, that red one is Fugamon, and the green one -"
"The green one is Ogremon," Elecmon said. "And I could never forget him, my data may have been modified slightly after that fight with Metaletemon three years back, but I remember Ogremon clear as day, he was an old rival of mine. All we seemed to do was fight, I'm not even sure why."
My eyes met with the four ogre like Digimon in the fountain. Ogremon and Fugamon were in the fountain itself their varying clubs were hitting each other in a power struggle trying to overpower each other, any second now they looked like they would break away and start an even fiercer fight. Meanwhile one of the Hyogamon was sitting atop one of the statues of the fountain, while the second one stayed in the water firing attacks at him, coming very close to hitting the statues.
"We have to stop this now!" Crystal yelled. "If they keep fighting like this they're going to end up destroying the fountain."
"Which brings about a question," I said. "Where's your friend during all this? She was ahead of us wasn't she?"
"That's a good question," Labramon said. "Angela isn't exactly the kind to run away."
"It doesn't matter!" Crystal yelled. "We're here, so we have to save the fountain."
"You'll get more argument from me, I'm all for supporting saving a landmark almost three centuries old." Elecmon said.
"They're all at the Champion stage," I said. "You two better Digivolve."
"Elecmon Digivolved to..................Leomon!"
"Penguinmon Digivolved to..............Kiwimon!"
"Labramon," Crystal said. "You too."
Labramon nodded as Crystal's Digivice activated.
"Labramon Digivolved to................Shisamon!"
"What do you know a bird a cat and a dog." I said. "Aren't we a good match?"
"I've got Ogremon." Leomon said.
"I'll take the Fugamon." Shisamon said.
"I guess that leaves me with the two ice boys," Kiwimon said.
Shisamon was the first to attack; he jumped from his current position to the Fugamon in one jump. Hitting the red ogre Digimon in the face with his paws knocking him into the water while Shisamon jumped back to the pavement in front of the fountain.
"Fist of the beast king!" Leomon yelled launching his lion shaped energy beam.
Ogremon looked in Leomon's direction for only a moment before getting knocked into the water by the attack.
"Drill Bill!" Kiwimon yelled firing her purple drill shaped attack.
The Hyogamon standing on the statues was hit dead on by the attack and was knocked into the water while Kiwimon attacked a second time using her powerful legs to jump into the air landing on the second Hyogamon's head knocking him into the water with the rest of the ogre Digimon while Kiwimon jumped up to the top of one of the statues.
Ogremon attacked first, he jumped out of the water at an amazing height and landed on the ground in front of Leomon while bringing down his club down at the same time aiming it at Leomon's head, Leomon quickly drew his sword and stopped the club from hitting him.
"Leomon!" Ogremon said happily. "I was hoping I would see you here. After the Dark Masters were defeated I searched the Digital World for you, then I heard you'd become a Digidestined Digimon, and was forced to give up that search. Then I was suddenly sent here, I was hoping to find you here Fugamon and Hyogamon aren't half the rival you were."
"We don't need to fight Ogremon, in fact I don't even remember why we were fighting before, besides I thought we settled that spat years ago."
"Just because we were on the same side doesn't mean our rivalry has ended. I live to fight you."
"What kind of life is that? You need to find a better purpose in life than that."
"That's easy for you to say, you have one! Protecting your partner, we don't all have partners you know. Now if you really want to protect him then you'll fight me."
"I'm warning you I've gotten stronger than the last time we fought."
"Really?" Ogremon said. "Prove it."
Leomon did so sweeping his feet under Ogremon's tripping the ugly green Digimon right before Leomon's foot landed in Ogremon's stomach in a swift kick sending him crashing into ground a few feet away.
"Pummel Whack!" Ogremon yelled punching the air sending a practically invisible wave of energy at Leomon.
"Fist of the Beast King!" Leomon yelled firing his own attack into Ogremon's, which easily engulfed it and streamed towards Ogremon.
The ogre Digimon dodged the attack and it streamed towards the edge of the fountain where Shisamon and Fugamon where fighting. Luckily Shisamon spotted the attack.
"Tiidiaya!" Shisamon yelled firing a yellow energy beam from his mouth hitting Leomon's attack off its original course and harmlessly into the sky.
"Watch it!" Shisamon yelled. "We're trying to save the fountain not destroy it. "Ah!"
Shisamon barely managed to jump out of the way of Fugamon's club as it came crashing down. Shisamon was doing pretty well in his fight she ended the jump by landing on Fugamon's head sending him crashing down off the edge of the fountain into the pavement below and where Shisamon also gracefully landed on his four feet.
"Clumsy aren't we?"
"Arg!" Fugamon yelled angrily swinging his bone club at Shisamon, which Shisamon merely caught in his mouth.
"Please I have years experience with bones," he said in a muffled voice due to the bone in his mouth. "You should know it's not a very good idea to use a bone against a dog."
Shisamon, taking advantage of his hold on Fugamon tossed the red ogre Digimon high up into the air before jumping into the air himself, and for a third time hitting Fugamon in the head with his feet and sent him crashing into the pavement below as Shisamon once again landed gracefully.
Both Leomon and Shisamon were doing excellent in their battles, Kiwimon however wasn't doing very good, she was also in front of the fountain, but stuck dealing with two Champion Digimon.
"Drill Bill!" she yelled firing her attack into one of the Hyogamon's chest, just as the second Hyogamon came from behind and hit her in the back with his club shaped icicle, the blow sent Kiwimon careening across the pavement, she slowly recovered jumping back to her feet.
"Pummel Peck!" Kiwimon yelled firing another one of her attacks which hit the Hyogamon that attacked in the stomach, but no sooner than she managed gain the upper hand again the first Hyogamon appeared from behind her and hit her the same way the other one had, and for a second time Kiwimon found herself skimming across the pavement, unfortunately this time it didn't look like she was going to recover.
"Kiwimon!" Jenn yelled in concern.
The two Hyogamon laughed as they stood over Kiwimon's battered body, and both raised their ice clubs.
"No!" Jenn yelled.
But there was nothing she or any of us could do, both clubs were swung like golf clubs and sent Kiwimon flying like she was the ball. At first she sailed straight up into the air but then began to plummet at a dangerous speed, and worse yet it was straight at us - no not us actually just Crystal.
"Move!" I yelled as I pushed Crystal out of the way and to the ground, just barely out of the way of Kiwimon as she crashed into the ground where she once stood. Crystal was fine but Kiwimon was the one that way really hurt.
"Kiwimon!" Jenn yelled kneeling beside her Digimon. "Kiwimon wake up! Are you okay?"
Fortunately Kiwimon's eyes slowly opened. "Well I'm not great, but I'll be okay."
There was a deafening scream from above, which caused us all to look up where we saw one of the Hyogamon coming down at Jenn and Kiwimon ice club seconds away from hitting them both on the head!
"Cerulean Storm!" a voice yelled as dozens of energy shards bombarded Hyogamon stopping his attack and instead of attacking Jenn and Kiwimon Hyogamon was pushed by the shards to the ground, he didn't hit it hard though, he managed to flip over and land on his feet.
I think every one of us knew where that attack had come from, those blue energy shards where the same ones that had pinned me to the wall. The attack had come from the alleyway where Bluenamon and Angela now stood.
"Bluenamon, it's time to help." Angela said. "Time you better Digivolve."
Bluenamon nodded as Angela held her glowing Digivice.
"Bluenamon Digivolved to.....................Youkomon!"
Youkomon was a much bigger fox Digimon, who unlike Bluenamon stood on four legs, and had numerous tails.
"Take those ice Digimon out now Youkomon!" Angela instructed her Digimon.
"Dragon Flame!" Youkomon yelled beginning to roll and eventually formed a dragon shaped energy beam, which crashed between the Hyogamon. They crashed as they were sent sailing into the air.
"Kris you said you were here to send them back!" Angela yelled. "Then do it now! When they're vulnerable."
"Right," I said popping open my laptop. "Digiport open!"
The Digiport opened with a huge beam of light, and I stepped under the now descending Hyogamon. I held the computer and Digiport up as they fell towards me as soon as they were close enough they were sucked right in.
"Two down to do go." I said.
"Shisamon!" Crystal yelled to her Digimon. "How about we make that three."
"In a second," Shisamon yelled.
At the moment Crystal's Digimon was staring down Fugamon who had just recently gotten up after being knocked down - by what? I wasn't quite sure.
"Tiidiaya!" firing his yellow energy beam from his mouth.
Fugamon didn't have even the slightest time to react, the yellow beam hit him dead center sending the red ogre flying straight at me. I aimed the Digiport at him and he soon joined the two Hyogamon and was sent back to the Digital World.
"How's it going Leomon?" I asked my Digimon.
Ogremon had just swung a punch at him, which Leomon caught easily. "I told you Ogremon, I was stronger you're hardly even a match for me anymore. Besides now that Kris has entered my life I don't want to fight anymore. Sorry old friend but its time for you to go."
A horrified look spread on Ogremon's face as Leomon tightened his grip on his fist, then swung Leomon over his shoulder and flung him straight at me - and the Digiport.
"Aaaaah!" Ogremon screamed as he was sucked into the Digiport, which I immediately closed by shutting my laptop.
"Ha ha!" I cheered. "Got him." I turned around and faced Angela and Youkomon. "Thanks, but why did you help us? I thought you assumed we were the bad guys."
Angela sighed. "I assumed wrong. I saw the way you risked your life to save Crystal, that's something only a Digidestined would do. Besides Crystal trusts you she tends to have good character judgment, oh and sorry it took so long, I saw four Digimon and thought it would be best to wait until Crystal came out and we'd fight them together, Youkomon is tough but she's not strong enough to defeat four Champions."
"Uh guys," Jenn said. "We're not done yet. I just picked up at least six more Digimon."
The rest of us took out our Digivices, like Crystal Angela had the old model Digivice.
"Oh my God!" Angela yelled after looking at her Digivices radar mode. "They're at the Roman Coliseum!"
"What is it with these Digimon that attracts them to landmarks?" Youkomon asked.
I sighed. "We better get going. A Digidestined's work is never done."
-----------------------

Chapter 42: Mission One Italy
Jenn and I walked though the peaceful night sky of Rome. It was weird to see night already we had just woken up at six AM three hours ago and it was already night here, weird how the international borderline could play tricks on you like that.
"It doesn't looks like the Digimon in Rome are going to just jump out at us like they did at home," Jenn said. "Looks like we better go looking for them."
"Yeah you're right," I said unclipping my Digivice from my waist.
"We may not have to look," Elecmon said. "There's a Digimon right there."
Three heads turned towards a tree branch to where Elecmon was pointing, only to see an empty tree branch.
"Oh yeah that's one amazing Digimon," I said. "It's Treebranchmon, I think you're seeing things Elecmon."
"I don't get it," my Digimon said. "I could have sworn I saw a Digimon up there, it was a blue fox type Digimon."
"Like I said, you're seeing things." I said looking at the screen of my D3. "The radar never indicated a Digimon there."
"There was one there!" Elecmon yelled. "I swear there was!"
"Maybe it's this one," Jenn said. "There's a Digimon about a block away."
I glanced back down at my Digivice there was a Digimon not too far away.
"Then let's send that Digimon home." I said. "Jenn you can lead the way."
I clipped my Digivice back to my pants, as Jenn started following the radar on here Digivice beginning to lead us through the streets of Rome Italy. He walked for about five minutes before Jenn finally stopped.
"It should be right about here." Jenn said as we looked up.
We all looked up in awe at the sight in front us; it wasn't a Digimon though it was a huge fountain with a huge island in the center of it, which contained several Roman statues atop of it with water running down it.
"Wow," Penguinmon said. "That's one big fountain."
"It's the Trevi fountain to be exact." Jenn said. "It was built sometime in the eighteenth century."
"So where's the Digimon?" Elecmon asked.
"It should be here," Jenn said continuing to look at her Digivice.
"Now whose seeing things," Elecmon boasted.
"She's not," Penguinmon said pointing at a bench in front of the giant fountain. "There's a Digimon right there, it's just not noticeable because it's only a rookie."
She was right on the bench that Penguinmon was pointed to was a small dog like Digimon, the majority of his body was beige with the exception of his ears and tail which were pink. No one noticed it because it was lying on the bench limply; it looked to be pretending to be a stuffed animal, the perfect chance for us to attack it and send it back to the Digital World.
"It's a Labramon," Penguinmon said. "Like I said before he's just a rookie, we won't have to Digivolve."
"Great, ready guys?" I said to the Digimon. They both nodded. "Let's go."
We slowly approached the bench and Labramon, until the Digimon felt they were close enough to attack.
"Sparkling Thunder!"
"Ice Slide!"
Labramon's ears twitched the second the attacks were launched and jumped out of the way of both of them as they smashed the bench he had once been lying on. He had seen the attacks coming, I should have predicted that, he was a dog Digimon and he probably had sensitive hearing like a dog.

Penguinmon and Elecmon were now on opposite sides of him, while Jenn and I were in front. Labramon looked to his right to see Penguinmon, and his left side was Elecmon, and in front of him were Jenn and I. He soon realized he was outnumbered, unfortunately we didn't realize the gap we had left him and he darted in the empty space behind him.
"Hey!" Penguinmon yelled.
"We can't let him get away," I yelled. "If we even leave one stray Digimon here it could upset the balance."
"So is this where you yell after that Digimon?" Elecmon asked.
"Yes!" I yelled running in pursuit of the small dog like Digimon.
Both Labramon and the four of us darted between crowds of people until Labramon eventually ducked into a deserted alley, and we quickly followed. We were able to chase Labramon down the alley for a while until the alley split into two, and Labramon had gotten a bit ahead of us so we had no idea which way he'd gone.
"You and Elecmon go left, Penguinmon and I will take right." Jenn said.

He was pretty fast, the only reason we'd manage to catch up with him was because he'd run into a dead end, we had him now.
"Get that Digiport ready Kris."
"On it," I said popping open my laptop.
"Sparkling Thunder!"
Labramon quickly dodged the attack, right before getting hit by a second one. The hit had done enough; Labramon was weak enough now that he couldn't escape the Digiport. I held my Digivice up to the computer.
"Digiport open!" I said beginning to aim the computer and the Digiport at Labramon, just as I felt a blunt object hit me on the head causing me to drop the laptop and the Digiport to close.
"You jerk!" a female voice yelled as I was hit on the head a second time. "Leave him alone! Why did you attack him? He didn't do anything to you!"
"Ow Ow!" I yelled as I was hit on the head two or three more times.
"How could you attack a defenseless dog?"
"If you would just stop hitting me on the head I could explain." I yelled still getting hit on the head with what I now identified as a book.
She finally stopped hitting me and I stood up again, and I saw the girl who had attacked me. She looked to be about a year older than me, and had long brown hair with blonde streaks. Labramon ran past Elecmon and I and into the girl's arms.
"Are you okay Labramon?" the girl asked.
"Fine Crystal," Labramon said. "I've been better though."
"Hold it, you knew that he's not a dog, and that he's a Digimon."
"Yeah, he's my Digimon," Crystal said. "But that still doesn't explain why you attacked him!"
Her Digimon? But that meant that she was a Digidestined. As that thought entered my mind, the e-mail that the American Digidestined Michael had sent me, the e-mail that had changed my life, in it he had said: "There are literately hundreds of Digidestined around the world." I had completely forgotten about that.
The sound of four footsteps could be heard around the corner as Jenn and Penguinmon came from around the corner.
"He wasn't - oh found him - uh who's this?"
I smiled. "She's one of us," I pointed to her waist and where her Digivice was clipped to her waist. It wasn't the newer model D3 like ours; it was the basic Digivice that Tai and the others had.
"Your Digidestined?" Jenn said.
"Yeah she is," I said. "I completely forgot to tell you guys that our team and Tai's team aren't the only Digidestined. We're just the strongest ones since we have crests, but there are others all over the world who have the classic Digivice."
"Yes I assumed that you were both Digidestined since you had Digimon of your own, though I haven't seen you around, I know most of the Digidestined around here." Crystal said. "But that doesn't answer why you were attacking Labramon!"
"Sorry about that, we didn't know that he had a partner, we -"
"Oh I see!" she interrupted. "You thought he was one of those other Digimon. The ones that have been attacking everyone."
"Exactly," Jenn said. "Those Digimon have been sent here against their will, and their lost, away from home, confused and scared. We're Digidestined from Canada, we're here to help send them back to the Digital World. Oh and by the way, I'm Jenn, this is my partner Penguinmon, and this is Kris, and his partner Elecmon."
"I'm Crystal," she said friendly. "And I believe you've already met my partner Labramon."
"How long have these other Digimon been around?" I asked.
"They appeared earlier this afternoon, they were attacking the Trevi Fountain. Labramon and I came down here to stop them, but they were gone when we got here. I went to give a friend and a fellow Digidestined a call while Labramon guarded the fountain, until you attacked him!"
"Once again very sorry about that."
"Oh my God the fountain!" Crystal yelled as she came to a sudden realization. "We left it, those Digimon could be back by now!"
"Don't worry," I said. "When we were back there a second ago all we saw was that enormous fountain, there's no Digimon there."
"I wouldn't bet on that." Jenn said. She was looking at the radar screen of her Digivice. "According to the D3 there are four Digimon there right now."
"We gotta go now!" Crystal yelled. "That fountain is a part of Rome's history we can't let those Digimon destroy it."
"Don't worry we're not, we came all the way from Canada just protect our world and that's what we're going to do."
Without even letting the others know Elecmon and I darted in the direction that would lead us out of the alley, but I had only gotten two steps in front of Jenn and Penguinmon before two dozen blue glowing razor sharp energy beams shot out of nowhere. They snagged my clothes and pinned me to the wall, I struggled to move, but the blue energy shards held me tightly.
"Oh what is it now?" I groaned.
Almost out of nowhere a blue coloured fox Digimon, which was about my height appeared in front of us.
"See!" Elecmon yelled. "I wasn't seeing things."
"Bluenamon!" Crystal yelled, I assumed that Bluenamon was the new fox Digimon's name. "Sure is great to see you! If you're here that mean's so is Angela."
"Good guess," a dark haired girl said as she emerged from the shadowy corner of the alley, who I assumed was Angela.
"Why do you always have to make a dramatic entrance?" Crystal said as she grinned. "You didn't have to pin Kris to the wall just to make your presence known."
"This isn't about entrances," Angela said. "It's about cutting off all this trouble at its source."
"What's its source?" Labramon asked.
I didn't need an answer I knew exactly what Angela was implying.
"Them?" Crystal said. "They're not the source! These Digimon aren't being told to do they're just lost and confused. I can tell I saw the looks on their faces on the TV."
"I'm not arguing with you there, but there's got to be a reason they're lost in the real world in the first place and that reason is that these four pushed them through a Digiport and into the real world."
"That's insane!" I yelled. "Why would we do that? We're Digidestined just like you, we fight for the good. Why would we want to risk these Digimon, and our world by sending them through the Digiport?"
"I didn't say I knew the answer to that question, but you have to admit, it's a little strange that these Digimon show up, and mysteriously so show up at the same time. I know all the Digidestined here, and neither of you are one of them."
"Angela they showed up as soon as the Digimon did because here because they want to send the Digimon back."
"I heard you're conversation, funny how some Canadians just happened to be in Italy while the Digimon were attacking, funny how you knew exactly when to be in Italy to stop them. What? Did a little birdie come out of the sky and tell you?"
"Actually it was more of a cat, a tiger to be exact." Elecmon said.
"Yes it's true that they showed up as soon as the Digimon did, but they only did so they could help, not because they sent them."
"Why do you believe that Crystal? Because they told you? Really you're too trusting sometimes."
"And you're too paranoid!"
"I'm just careful."
"Excuse me but we have to time to argue about this!" Jenn yelled. "At the moment there are four Digimon that could be attempting to destroy the Trevi fountain."
"The Trevi?" Angela yelled. "Bluenamon, we'll deal with them later. Let's go."
Bluenamon nodded her response. "Alright Angela." She disappeared as Angela began running down the alleyway.
"Come on, she'll need some help," Crystal said starting to run down the alley, as Jenn and Penguinmon started to follow.
"Excuse me!" I yelled. "But could you get me down first."
Both girls and their Digimon stopped running, and backtracked to help me. It took longer than we would have thought, those energy shards were imbedded into the wall pretty deep, and it took off five of them just to pull one of them out, but as soon as they did we were running out of that alley as fast as we possibly could. We emerged from the alley to find that Jenn's Digivice had been right there were four Digimon in the fountain area. Three of them were in the fountain themselves, all four of them looked similar in appearance, they were all ogre like Digimon. One of them had green skin, and held a wooden club in his hand, a second ogre like Digimon, which looked pretty much the same except that he had red skin, and held leopard skin loincloth, and held a club shaped bone. While the other two had blue skin and several icicles, protruding from their backs, and held a club shaped icicles.
"Recognize them?" Jenn asked eyeing the Digimon.
"Yeah, those icy ones are Hyogamon, that red one is Fugamon, and the green one -"
"The green one is Ogremon," Elecmon said. "And I could never forget him, my data may have been modified slightly after that fight with Metaletemon three years back, but I remember Ogremon clear as day, he was an old rival of mine. All we seemed to do was fight, I'm not even sure why."
My eyes met with the four ogre like Digimon in the fountain. Ogremon and Fugamon were in the fountain itself their varying clubs were hitting each other in a power struggle trying to overpower each other, any second now they looked like they would break away and start an even fiercer fight. Meanwhile one of the Hyogamon was sitting atop one of the statues of the fountain, while the second one stayed in the water firing attacks at him, coming very close to hitting the statues.
"We have to stop this now!" Crystal yelled. "If they keep fighting like this they're going to end up destroying the fountain."
"Which brings about a question," I said. "Where's your friend during all this? She was ahead of us wasn't she?"
"That's a good question," Labramon said. "Angela isn't exactly the kind to run away."
"It doesn't matter!" Crystal yelled. "We're here, so we have to save the fountain."
"You'll get more argument from me, I'm all for supporting saving a landmark almost three centuries old." Elecmon said.
"They're all at the Champion stage," I said. "You two better Digivolve."
"Elecmon Digivolved to..................Leomon!"
"Penguinmon Digivolved to..............Kiwimon!"
"Labramon," Crystal said. "You too."
Labramon nodded as Crystal's Digivice activated.
"Labramon Digivolved to................Shisamon!"
"What do you know a bird a cat and a dog." I said. "Aren't we a good match?"
"I've got Ogremon." Leomon said.
"I'll take the Fugamon." Shisamon said.
"I guess that leaves me with the two ice boys," Kiwimon said.
Shisamon was the first to attack; he jumped from his current position to the Fugamon in one jump. Hitting the red ogre Digimon in the face with his paws knocking him into the water while Shisamon jumped back to the pavement in front of the fountain.
"Fist of the beast king!" Leomon yelled launching his lion shaped energy beam.
Ogremon looked in Leomon's direction for only a moment before getting knocked into the water by the attack.
"Drill Bill!" Kiwimon yelled firing her purple drill shaped attack.
The Hyogamon standing on the statues was hit dead on by the attack and was knocked into the water while Kiwimon attacked a second time using her powerful legs to jump into the air landing on the second Hyogamon's head knocking him into the water with the rest of the ogre Digimon while Kiwimon jumped up to the top of one of the statues.
Ogremon attacked first, he jumped out of the water at an amazing height and landed on the ground in front of Leomon while bringing down his club down at the same time aiming it at Leomon's head, Leomon quickly drew his sword and stopped the club from hitting him.
"Leomon!" Ogremon said happily. "I was hoping I would see you here. After the Dark Masters were defeated I searched the Digital World for you, then I heard you'd become a Digidestined Digimon, and was forced to give up that search. Then I was suddenly sent here, I was hoping to find you here Fugamon and Hyogamon aren't half the rival you were."
"We don't need to fight Ogremon, in fact I don't even remember why we were fighting before, besides I thought we settled that spat years ago."
"Just because we were on the same side doesn't mean our rivalry has ended. I live to fight you."
"What kind of life is that? You need to find a better purpose in life than that."
"That's easy for you to say, you have one! Protecting your partner, we don't all have partners you know. Now if you really want to protect him then you'll fight me."
"I'm warning you I've gotten stronger than the last time we fought."
"Really?" Ogremon said. "Prove it."
Leomon did so sweeping his feet under Ogremon's tripping the ugly green Digimon right before Leomon's foot landed in Ogremon's stomach in a swift kick sending him crashing into ground a few feet away.
"Pummel Whack!" Ogremon yelled punching the air sending a practically invisible wave of energy at Leomon.
"Fist of the Beast King!" Leomon yelled firing his own attack into Ogremon's, which easily engulfed it and streamed towards Ogremon.
The ogre Digimon dodged the attack and it streamed towards the edge of the fountain where Shisamon and Fugamon where fighting. Luckily Shisamon spotted the attack.
"Tiidiaya!" Shisamon yelled firing a yellow energy beam from his mouth hitting Leomon's attack off its original course and harmlessly into the sky.
"Watch it!" Shisamon yelled. "We're trying to save the fountain not destroy it. "Ah!"
Shisamon barely managed to jump out of the way of Fugamon's club as it came crashing down. Shisamon was doing pretty well in his fight she ended the jump by landing on Fugamon's head sending him crashing down off the edge of the fountain into the pavement below and where Shisamon also gracefully landed on his four feet.
"Clumsy aren't we?"
"Arg!" Fugamon yelled angrily swinging his bone club at Shisamon, which Shisamon merely caught in his mouth.
"Please I have years experience with bones," he said in a muffled voice due to the bone in his mouth. "You should know it's not a very good idea to use a bone against a dog."
Shisamon, taking advantage of his hold on Fugamon tossed the red ogre Digimon high up into the air before jumping into the air himself, and for a third time hitting Fugamon in the head with his feet and sent him crashing into the pavement below as Shisamon once again landed gracefully.
Both Leomon and Shisamon were doing excellent in their battles, Kiwimon however wasn't doing very good, she was also in front of the fountain, but stuck dealing with two Champion Digimon.
"Drill Bill!" she yelled firing her attack into one of the Hyogamon's chest, just as the second Hyogamon came from behind and hit her in the back with his club shaped icicle, the blow sent Kiwimon careening across the pavement, she slowly recovered jumping back to her feet.
"Pummel Peck!" Kiwimon yelled firing another one of her attacks which hit the Hyogamon that attacked in the stomach, but no sooner than she managed gain the upper hand again the first Hyogamon appeared from behind her and hit her the same way the other one had, and for a second time Kiwimon found herself skimming across the pavement, unfortunately this time it didn't look like she was going to recover.
"Kiwimon!" Jenn yelled in concern.
The two Hyogamon laughed as they stood over Kiwimon's battered body, and both raised their ice clubs.
"No!" Jenn yelled.
But there was nothing she or any of us could do, both clubs were swung like golf clubs and sent Kiwimon flying like she was the ball. At first she sailed straight up into the air but then began to plummet at a dangerous speed, and worse yet it was straight at us - no not us actually just Crystal.
"Move!" I yelled as I pushed Crystal out of the way and to the ground, just barely out of the way of Kiwimon as she crashed into the ground where she once stood. Crystal was fine but Kiwimon was the one that way really hurt.
"Kiwimon!" Jenn yelled kneeling beside her Digimon. "Kiwimon wake up! Are you okay?"
Fortunately Kiwimon's eyes slowly opened. "Well I'm not great, but I'll be okay."
There was a deafening scream from above, which caused us all to look up where we saw one of the Hyogamon coming down at Jenn and Kiwimon ice club seconds away from hitting them both on the head!
"Cerulean Storm!" a voice yelled as dozens of energy shards bombarded Hyogamon stopping his attack and instead of attacking Jenn and Kiwimon Hyogamon was pushed by the shards to the ground, he didn't hit it hard though, he managed to flip over and land on his feet.
I think every one of us knew where that attack had come from, those blue energy shards where the same ones that had pinned me to the wall. The attack had come from the alleyway where Bluenamon and Angela now stood.
"Bluenamon, it's time to help." Angela said. "Time you better Digivolve."
Bluenamon nodded as Angela held her glowing Digivice.
"Bluenamon Digivolved to.....................Youkomon!"
Youkomon was a much bigger fox Digimon, who unlike Bluenamon stood on four legs, and had numerous tails.
"Take those ice Digimon out now Youkomon!" Angela instructed her Digimon.
"Dragon Flame!" Youkomon yelled beginning to roll and eventually formed a dragon shaped energy beam, which crashed between the Hyogamon. They crashed as they were sent sailing into the air.
"Kris you said you were here to send them back!" Angela yelled. "Then do it now! When they're vulnerable."
"Right," I said popping open my laptop. "Digiport open!"
The Digiport opened with a huge beam of light, and I stepped under the now descending Hyogamon. I held the computer and Digiport up as they fell towards me as soon as they were close enough they were sucked right in.
"Two down to do go." I said.
"Shisamon!" Crystal yelled to her Digimon. "How about we make that three."
"In a second," Shisamon yelled.
At the moment Crystal's Digimon was staring down Fugamon who had just recently gotten up after being knocked down - by what? I wasn't quite sure.
"Tiidiaya!" firing his yellow energy beam from his mouth.
Fugamon didn't have even the slightest time to react, the yellow beam hit him dead center sending the red ogre flying straight at me. I aimed the Digiport at him and he soon joined the two Hyogamon and was sent back to the Digital World.
"How's it going Leomon?" I asked my Digimon.
Ogremon had just swung a punch at him, which Leomon caught easily. "I told you Ogremon, I was stronger you're hardly even a match for me anymore. Besides now that Kris has entered my life I don't want to fight anymore. Sorry old friend but its time for you to go."
A horrified look spread on Ogremon's face as Leomon tightened his grip on his fist, then swung Leomon over his shoulder and flung him straight at me - and the Digiport.
"Aaaaah!" Ogremon screamed as he was sucked into the Digiport, which I immediately closed by shutting my laptop.
"Ha ha!" I cheered. "Got him." I turned around and faced Angela and Youkomon. "Thanks, but why did you help us? I thought you assumed we were the bad guys."
Angela sighed. "I assumed wrong. I saw the way you risked your life to save Crystal, that's something only a Digidestined would do. Besides Crystal trusts you she tends to have good character judgment, oh and sorry it took so long, I saw four Digimon and thought it would be best to wait until Crystal came out and we'd fight them together, Youkomon is tough but she's not strong enough to defeat four Champions."
"Uh guys," Jenn said. "We're not done yet. I just picked up at least six more Digimon."
The rest of us took out our Digivices, like Crystal Angela had the old model Digivice.
"Oh my God!" Angela yelled after looking at her Digivices radar mode. "They're at the Roman Coliseum!"
"What is it with these Digimon that attracts them to landmarks?" Youkomon asked.
I sighed. "We better get going. A Digidestined's work is never done."
