So there'd been experiments before me...
"What do you mean, failed?" I asked Yamaki, looking away from him. Yamaki sighed and took a deep breath.
"We were told to expand on the original hybrids, like you." Yamaki said. "These new hybrids would be able to digivolve, and only be slightly human, making them much easier to use as soldiers."
"Soldiers?" Dad asked. Yamaki nodded. "You may have heard something about it already. The digimon project that your father and his friends worked on was a cover, so that the public would never know." Seeing the shocked look on Dad's face, Yamaki shook his head. "They were never told the truth. They may have suspected, but they never knew for sure." Yamaki explained. I felt a new wave of rage. Grandpa had been lied to, too! Then their project had been used to create something like Hellmon...
I sighed, remembering about Reiko. Where could Hellmon be now? I didn't really know...my best friend was captured by some stupid digimon, and I had no idea how to get her out! No idea at all! I felt a tear stream down my cheek.
"Kiiroishi?" Ruki asked, walking over to me. She put her hand on my shoulder, and looked me in the eyes.
"You all right?" Ruki asked me. I shook my head. "I don't know what to do..." I whispered. Ruki hugged me.
"It'll be all right." Ruki assured me. "You've got me, Takato, Jen, Renamon, Yamaki and everyone else behind you. And if anyone can beat Hellmon, it's you!" Ruki smiled, and ruffled my hair.
"You're the only boy I trust to, anyway. Just be careful!" Ruki said. I grinned and stood up, feeling a sudden warmth in my pocket. What...?
I reached into my pocket, and drew out my D-Arc. It was glowing! Suddenly, I had an idea.
"Kiiroishi, digivolve to Sakuyamon Mode!" I shouted. I felt the golden armor encase me, and a flow of power.
Without a second thought I ran off determined to find Hellmon, hearing Mom and Dad's surprised cries.
"LET GO!" Reiko raged. "LET US GO!"
For about the millionth time, Reiko pulled on the strong tendons. She heard the sound of something ripping.
Hellmon cried out in pain as Reiko began to rip him apart from the inside.
"If you don't stop that..." Hellmon whispered fiercely. "I'll kill that girl this instant!"
Reiko stopped abruptly, feeling her body drain of adrenaline. She couldn't sacrifice Pata, could she?
"You've got it right, Miss Matsuki." Hellmon said smugly. "You can't sacrifice the girl...but I can!"
"No!" Reiko gasped as more tendons suddenly sprouted up, holding her even tighter. "NO!"
Then millions of fangs went zooming towards the unconscious Pata.
