AUTHOR'S NOTE: On the yaoi...I needed some way to make the characters easeir to relate to, and the idea just sort of came to me. If you don't like it, it won't be showing up very much anyway, so don't worry. I finally figured out what to do with Juri! Just consider it as if she hadn't gotten over Leomon, unlike in Movie 6.

Reiko gave her hybrid companion a worried glance. "What's wrong?" she mouthed. Kiiroishi said nothing; he just violently shook his head.
"What is it, cat got your tongue?" Yamaki teased. Renamon turned to face him, her attention off her son.

"Shouldn't you know, Yamaki?" Renamon asked the elder man.
Yamaki seemed startled. "You think I caused this?"
"Who else would be responsible?" the digimon asked.
Jenrya looked at his son, to Renamon and Yamaki, and back again. He wondered which would blow first. Then...
"No!" Kiiroishi shouted. "No...no. Yamaki, Mom, stop!" The hybrid hung his head down, sobbing.
"Why...why was I never told?" he whispered.

"I almost feel sorry for the kid." the Tiger commented.
Ebonwumon snapped his fingers, small turtle shells dangling from them. He was dressed in total blackness, with dark green hair. Thick black frames were around his wise eyes. The image of Yamaki's office faded, replaced with a door.
"All the more reason to combat this abomination." Zhuqiaomon said angrily. The Dragon smirked, zipping up his denim jacket; haphazardly avoiding the digi-cores on his belt.
"We know, Zhuqiaomon. We know." Ebonwumon said, earning him an angry glare from the Phoenix, who was being restrained by the Tiger. "Shall we?" asked Qinglongmon, observing the others.
With varying degrees of enthusiasm, they all went through.

Ruki was still fiercely dragging along Takato, in hopeful pursuit of Jenrya and Renamon.
So far...she was totally lost. No one in sight at all.
"Ruki...could we please stop?" begged Takato.
"No!" Ruki shouted, glaring at her husband. Takato sighed.
"They'll be fine...what is your problem?" the gogglehead persisted. Ruki glanced away.
"What, are you insanely jealous or something?" Takato teased. Ruki slowly shook her head.
"No...but I'm used to not worrying now." The redhead whispered, earning her a quizzical look.
"Renamon and I haven't fought for so long. When she almost got deleted, I panicked. Just like the day Leomon..."
Ruki suddenly stopped talking. "Sorry gogglehead, I know you don't like thinking about it."
Takato didn't say anything. After that day, a lot of things had changed. Juri had moved away soon afterwards, unable to be back to where she and Leomon had met. She just sort of lost touch with the whole group.
Hirokazu and Takato, who had both liked Juri; were pretty depressed. But then...

"Ruki!" cried Shuchion, with Hirokazu behind her. The young brunette ran up to the redhead and her goggle boy.
"Shuchion, Hirokazu, you're okay?" Takato asked. Hirokazu grinned and nodded.
"Hey, Ruki." Shuchion whispered, tugging on the older woman's sleeve. Ruki noticed Shuchion seemed worried.
"Where is my brother? Did you find him and Renamon?" the young brunette whispered insistently.
Ruki nodded, but then shook her head. "We did, but..."

Ruki stopped mid-sentence, as alarms began sounding around the whole building.

"What the heck?" Hirokazu shouted, covering his ears.
"Wild One Invasion." A computerized voice announced over the PA.
"Red Alert, please evacuate immediately. Top Level Wild Ones. Building will now self-destruct in three minutes. Three. Two minutes and fifty-nine seconds. Two minutes and fifty-eight seconds. Two minutes and fifty-seven..."
