The Meeting

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Big O or any of the characters. All are property of Sunrise and their respective parties. Digimon belongs to Toei and their respective parts. I don't own that either shows. I am not making any money on this story either.

AURTHOR NOTES: This story is a Big O Digimon Crossover. This story also features some of my own theories about Big O as well. This is also a slight AU for the Digimon part of the story, Gatomon has the ably to go to her Ultimate Level of Angewoman, without any type of help, like she did in the First Season of the show, plus she also can Armor Digivole as well.

SETTING: Reminder the Digimon Episode of His Master's Voice, the episode where Kari is brought to another part of the Digi World by other Digimon. At the end of the episode we see a huge shadowy Digimon with red eyes come out of the water. What if she wasn't really in the Digital World, but in Paradigm City and that huge Digimon-like creature weren't a Digimon, but a Megadeus?

Kari and Roger finally meet each other, plus a little bit of a socking revelation about Kari's history.

Timeline: Digimon takes place one mouth after the Final episode of A Million Points of Light and for Big O is takes place right after R-D. Yeah, Roger beat the three Megadeues that came out of the water toward the end of the episode.

Keepers of the Light

Chapter 4-The Meeting

Roger stood on the dock dumfounded at what just had happen to him, he had experience a waking vision, but it seem to real to just be a vision, it feel like that it was something more, it seem too real for him to be just a vision to him. It felt like he some kind of time wrap that he some how wonder into and then he wonders how long was he that time wrap. He looked around for a reference to tell him how much time had pass and he couldn't fine anything to help him judge that. It wasn't like him to feel this uncertain about things, but that what he was feeling right now. Were he losing his mind and that all of these things were just merge illusions that his mind was cooking up, or was it the stress of the job, finally catching up with him, this was his body only way of telling him that enough was enough. That he should quit while he was ahead. He didn't know and this feeling, he liked being in control, knowing what was going to happen when he turned the next street.

These visions and these dreams that he was having were screwing around with his sense of control that he thought he had over his life. Even with that affecting him he still had a job to do and that was to find out who was or what was affecting the business of Ness Lockheart, dreams and visions could straight to hell as far as he was worry about. That would of happen to him, he would of just drop them like that, but with one little fact, and that fact was that they were so real, as it they were things that did happen or would happen to him. No, that couldn't be and with that signal thought of his dismissed them just like that. With that he went on the task at hand, that what he was doing, he went on to find out what was causing so much trouble for Ness.

That what he was doing, he continue to walked down the docks, looking for any type of clues that were some manage to slip through the cracks. He didn't see anything that was of any type of value to the job that he was doing right now. Oh there were other things on the dock, but it was related to the work that was done here, like salt, shaving of the fish itself, and pieces of packing materials as well. Nothing that he could used right now, so he walked down the dock unaware under the surface of the water, he was being watched by the other Sea Titan like Megadeus that kept an close eye on every move that he was making. It he did anything that the Megadeus didn't like it would react to it and make sure that he wouldn't make that same mistake twice.

Inside of the Sea Titan-like Megadeus, the pilot of this Megadeus watch on his screen as he watch Roger Smith walked away from him. The pilot smile at this sight for he was happy at what he was just did. He had fooled this city's top Negotiator and from what he heard about him that was no easy task, but he also knew that Roger wasn't the type of person to be easily beat just because of one little set back. He knew he had won the battle, but not the war, this was going to be a long war that the two of these people were going to have.

The pilot of the Sea Titan-like Megadeus pull out a sliver color chain, on the chain there was a small clear crystal like charm on it. He was playing with it inside of two of his thick fingers, the same way that a cat would do with a ball of yarn. He was very happy at what he just did.

"You have no clue, what had just started, Mister Negotiator," he said.

Back on the surface, Roger stop dead in the track, something inside of him told to take one last look at this area. He did and that when he got a glimpse of something that was under the water, it wasn't a clear picture of the thing, it was distortion of the water that had cause him to have a hard time to a good view of the thing. It was good enough for him, to tell him that there was something unnatural under there, looking at him, making sure that every move that he did was the right one.

Inside of the cockpit, the pilot looked at what Roger was doing. The pilot tensed up, ready to spring into action at a moment notice.

"What are you doing, Mister Negotiator?" The pilot asked. "If you do anything that I don't like, I will show you that I am not the person to mess with."

Roger got lean closer to area where he saw the thing, so that he could get a better view of the thing. He knew that if that thing had reacted in anyway that was in danger to him, he knew that had only to call on Big O to help him deal with this thing.

"What is this?" He asked.

The pilot of the other Megadeus was getting nervous at this, Roger was getting way to close for his comfort zone and it would only be a matter of time before he would have to make the Megadeus jump out of the water to face Roger. This was a sign of the lack of experience that he had when dealing with a thing like this.

"You better get out there as fast as you can," he said.

He saw that Roger didn't listen to his warring and he was about to through the levers that would make this Megadeus jump out of the water. Right before he could do that he was stop by a page and by the nature of the page it was something that he couldn't just let go. Seeing that he used the controls that made the Megadeus head in the opposite direction of where Roger Smith was standing.

Roger saw the thing, it was gone, just like that and that told him without a signal question in his mind that this thing was man made. He wanted to know what was that thing that was under the water that was watching him like a hawk. He had funny feelings that the thing was the other Sea Titan that Ness had told him about, but he wanted to make sure that he was right about the thing. There were two things that he hated in the world, people that didn't act professional when dealing with him, and being wrong.

Roger didn't say anything to this, he just stood there for a couple of minutes to let what he just saw sink in and with that he started to walked away from the dock, not saying a single word, spoken and thought. He was focus on the job and that was the only thing that had matter to him right now and that what he did. As he was doing that he made a mental note that there was indeed something that was under the water, and he assumed that this thing could be the thing that had cause the destruction of the crane two days ago.

"The plot thicken," he said. "Now I have to have a little talk with a one, Ken Tacoma to see if he saw the same thing that Ness saw."

This time Kari had called up her mom and got a ride home, back to her apartment home and unlike before, she didn't have any strange dreams are waking visions like she had before. That didn't mean that she was safe from them, she knew that they could pop up at anytime. They didn't share the same clock that she had, they came when they wanted, without any warming, and they also lasted as long as they wanted. It was this fact that they were so unpredictable that scared her, they also seem to get more and more real as each pass her by, and it would only be a matter of time before she would be all the way in this world. She could feel it; she could feel that she was slipping out of this world and heading to that world, like what happen to her the last time that something like this happen before. Like before, she wanted to know the reason why this was happening to her and not anybody else. Unlike before, she was ready, she wouldn't have her D-Terminal in her backpack, like the last time, she would have that time around her belt at all time, so that Gatomon would be able to Digivole to the next level no matter what.

She learned her lesson the last time that this happen and that was something that she didn't want to repeat. It was an experience that she reminder so clearly and that was the reasons why she was talking so much precautions to make sure that it wouldn't happen the same way again.

As soon as she was inside of the apartment, she went to her bed to lie down and get some rest; these things were also very tiresome as well. So much in fact that as soon as she hit the bed she fell asleep.

Again she found herself in the same place, but this time she was in a different part of this world, she wasn't at the beach, she was inside the city itself. She looked at all of the buildings that were around her, she notice that they were in some art deco style of design and most of them were in disrepair. As if the people here didn't care or didn't have the time nor the money to repair them, the bring them back to their former glory. It was like looking at an old picture of the victory parades of WWII with all of the veterans of that war on cars while the people from the building were throwing pieces of paper down at them in appreciation of what they did in that war. Right now there was nothing like that at all in this place, the only things that she saw right now, where the tall and dark buildings that were decorated with Griffins and Gargoyles. Even the Griffins and the Gargoyles themselves were in the same state of affairs as the buildings, there were in a state of disrepair.

She looked up at them; it seemed that the Griffins and the Gargoyles were doing the same thing that she was doing to them. That was a strange feeling for her, for she knew that these things won't alive and couldn't do that to her, there were doing that to her. She didn't know the reason behind it, was it the atmosphere that she was in right now that was causing her to see thing that won't there. Or was it simply the combination of all of the chemicals that were in her body that was screwing up the balance that was in her body that was causing her to see things that won't there. She just didn't know what was going on, it seem that this place was doing some pretty strange things to her mind.

She heard a noise and with that she in the direction of where the she thought that the noise was coming at. When she did she saw that there were other people running in her direction and she could see that there faces where a mixed with both being scared and happy. She didn't know what to say at that combination of emotions that were on their faces. She tried to ask them questions about what was the noise and why where they running from it, but none of them would answer her questions. That didn't mean that she didn't her answer to her questions, because she did, and that was from somebody yelling out something that she had never heard before.

"It is a Megadeus!" Somebody yelled.

Kari never heard that term before, but she did hear the term "Mega" before, many of times in her life time, and the most recent occurrence of that term was when describing something was a Digimon. She knew when a Digimon was at that level they were extremely powerful and the only thing that could stop was another Mega-Level Digimon. Plus, she also knew what "Mega" meant; it meant "Great", but "Deus", that was something she had never heard before. Because of that she wanted to know what was this "Megadeus" they were talking about and she wanted to know why were these people have such a weird combination of emotions on their faces when there were dealing with that thing.

Then she got what she wanted, she found out who was this "Megadeus" thing was. When she saw it, she felt a sense of terror go through her like a hot knife through butter. It was the same demonic-looking thing that she had seen before, but now it wasn't clad in black, she all the details that this thing had. She saw that the face of this thing was all light up in yellow, that only made the smile that thing had ever more scary looking than it was before. That was the only thing that seem to stand off for her, the rest of the thing, the body, the arms, and the legs of thing didn't stand out for her, they seem to be regular like to her, but the face, that was the kicker for her. That what made her want to run for her life and that what she did she joins them rest of the people, running away from that thing.

"What is that thing?" She asked.

"That the Sea Titan, it back and it wants revenge on us," said somebody.

"We better get out its way and let it do to us what it wants, it better for us. I wouldn't want to get that thing even more mad at us," said another person.

Is this thing alive? She asked herself. It had to be because the way that they were talking about the thing. The she wonder how something that was like that could be alive, then she reminder back to all of the Digimon that she had seen through her journeys in the Digital World and there were some Mega-Level Digimon that got as big as this Sea Titan was.

"It Megadeus!" Yelled the first person, the same person that had answer her question about what was the Sea Titan.

Hearing that she wanted to know what was this other Megadeus and why did they has a different sentence when they saw it. Then she saw what the other Megadeus was and when she saw it, she recognized it as the one that had save her life when she was in the weird time wrap that was set at the beach. This was the third time that she had seen it and the thing still didn't lose the greatest that it had when she first saw it, but unlike the other two times before, she wasn't scare of it, for she knew that thing was here to help her. That still didn't mean that it was safe for her to stand in the line of fire when she these two things clash with each other.

She didn't know how it would end up, but she knew when two huge Mega-Level Digimon fought each other, the only thing that was certain, was that there was going to be major battle damage around the combat zone. So she ran with the other people, she took cover behind one of the buildings and with that she saw that these two Megadeuses fought each other.

"Kari," said somebody.

She turned around at the sound of the voice, because the whom or who ever spoke her name, knew who she was and she wanted to know who in this city knew who she was. She saw who had spoken her name, it was and she saw who it was, it was Ben, one of Gennai's friends.

"Gennai?" She asked.

"No, I am Ben, one of Gennai's friends," answered Ben.

"Ben, what I am…no what are you doing here? What is this place? Is it real or it just a dream world?" Asked Kari.

"We don't know, but what we do know, is that this world is very real and I think you know what you have to do," he said.

In a matter of seconds Kari knew what she had to do and to show that she knew she nodded her head at Ben. With that Ben disappeared from her sight, Kari turned in the direction of where the two battling Megadeuses were at.

"Yes, I do know," said Kari.

With that on her mind Kari woke up from the dream and she found herself back in her bed, that was inside of her bedroom. She looked around the place and found out that nothing had change, so she took a look at the clock that was next to her bed. She looked at the time and found out that only a half-hour had pass since she had the dream.

"You up," said Gatomon.

"Yes, and I now know what these dreams are all about and what I have to do, to get ride of them," answered Kari.

"What do you mean?" Asked Gatomon.

"You will fine out soon, and by the way have ever heard the time Megadeus before?" Asked Kari.

"No, why?" Asked Gatomon.

"I just want to know, I am going to ask my mother if she heard that term before," said Kari.

Kari walked out of the room with Gatomon trailing behind her, she notice that Kari was different in some way. She looked more determine to get these dreams done and over with, Gatomon knew when this happen with her, she would stop at nothing to make sure that she did it.

Kari found her mother in the kitchen and she had her head bowed, looking at the table. Kari didn't like seeing this, especially with her mother.

"Mom, what up?" Asked Kari.

Kari's Mom looked up and with that she could see that her Mother's face was wet, and she knew the reason behind this, she was crying. Kari wanted to know why was she crying, did she do something wrong.

"Mom?" Asked an urgent Kari.

"I am a confession to tell you," started her Mom.

"What is it?" Asked Kari.

"The man that you know as your father isn't your real father," answered her Mom.

Kari just stood there, she showed no reaction to that, and she felt numb at the news of this.

"Now can this be possible?" Asked Gatomon.

"I don't know, but what I can tell you that I had a strange dream of where I had sex with a mysterious man. I don't reminder much about the dream, but I do know was that I am almost die after the dream. Two days after that I found out that I was with child, and that child was you, Kari," said her Mom.

With that Kari put her hand on the hand of her Mother, she could feel the sadness that her Mom had. She could image how hard it was for her to kept this under her chest for all of these years, waiting to tell her the truth about her, but somehow she couldn't until now.

"I am sorry, I wanted to tell you for so long," said her Mom.

"I know, I can understand how you feel, but you told me and that what matters right now. It out now and I know it. Now I have a question for you, have you ever heard the term 'Megadeus'?" Asked Kari.

"No, but I heard something similar to it before," answered her Mom.

"What is it?" Asked Kari.

"Deus Ex Machina, it Latin, and means God In the Machine and I know for a fact that Mega mean great and I think Deus mean God," answered her Mom.

Hearing that Kari put two and two together and figure out that "Megadeus" mean "Great God". That made her think about two things that she saw in her latest dream and how they got the term of Megadeus. They were indeed big and they did have power, but she wanted to know what made them gods. She knew from what she heard that God himself was an old mighty being whom power was limited only to his imagination.

Do those things have that type of power? She asked herself. She knew that she couldn't judge them, she had only seen a little bit of the true power that they had, for she had no clue what power the first Megadeus had within it and if she did she would think it was indeed a god. She didn't and so she couldn't judge, but she would find out sooner than she thought she would.

"Mom, I have to go to the beach," said Kari.

Kari's Mom nodded her head at that and left her go. With that Gatomon fellow her as well and Kari's Mom took one last look at her daughter, then she took a look at Gatomon.

"Are you sure it is wise to take her out with you?" Asked her Mom.

Hearing that Gatomon went on all four and started to "Meow" just like a cat would do. Seeing that Kari's Mom knew that she would go around the city acting like a normal cat. With that the two of them walked out of the apartment, leaving Kari's Mom beside herself, thinking about the events that had caused her to have Kari.

She tried to reminder the dream that she had before she became pragent with her, the man that she saw in the dreams, how he was cover by darkest while she was in her room. It was that darkest that he was in that preventing her from seeing his face and who he was. That was something that she wanted to know who how did this to her and thinking about the event made her realized how she picked her name of Kari. For Kari meant "The Light" even if her birth started in the darkest, she didn't want that to affect that for the rest of her life. It looks like that her wishes were given, because she had save the world twice from darkest.

"Go my light and save our world once again," she said.

Roger had called for Ken and he was told to wait at one of the loading areas, because that was where Ken would meet him in a couple of minutes ago. That was about a half-hour ago and Roger was getting more and more angrily at Ken for doing this to him. His temper wasn't help by the fact that it was getting hotter as the day wore on; the humidity as well was on the raise as well, that only added to the fire that was starting to be built. This Ken was pushing his limits and the last time that somebody went beyond that point, almost didn't survive to talk about it.

Then somebody came walking up to him, he hoped that it was Ken, but he expected to it be another one of his lackeys, telling him that Ken was busy right now and was working as hard as he could get it done so that he could talk with him. He signed to himself to help clam himself down, he didn't want to go off at them, for they were just the messagers, if there was a person that he should go off on, it was Ken himself for doing to him.

"Are you Ken?" Asked Roger.

"Yes, I am, I truly sorry about this, but I have been busy of late and I totally lost track of time," he said.

"I am been told that, I would like to talk to you about what happen about two days ago, Ness told me that the crane that was over the west dock was destroyed by a huge explosion that killed the crane worker," said Roger.

"Yes, Ness told me that he talk to you about that and that you were looking at the blast zone to find any clues on how this happen. I have one question, what dose to have to do with me? I mean I wasn't there at all, I was somewhere else," said Ken.

"Can I ask where you were and why did it take so long?!" Demanded Roger.

Ken could see the anger that was in his face and he knew like so many other people that live in this city that his anger was the stuff of legend. He also knew when you somehow mange to push him this far, the best thing to do was to go with the flow and not to do anything stupid when one was in the company of him. That what Ken planed to do as long as he was with him.

"I was busy checking out a shipping problem, and it took longer than I thought it would," said Ken in the same inflection type voice that Roger said to him when he ask where he was at for so long. "Is that okay with you, unlike you, I have a time table and I have to kept it. Can I ask why do you want me, I can safely assume that Ness apprise you of everything that had happen over the past two weeks."

"I have one also, yes he did, and I would like to know where you at, when the crane was destroyed," answered Roger that did cool down a little, but he still anger by the fact that Ken had kept him waiting for so long. The excess that presented to him didn't seem to hold any water to him. It seems to be a made up story to hid what he was truly was doing over the half-hour, but he didn't want to jump to any conclusions, he didn't get where he was today, by doing that every time he didn't hear or see something that he didn't like. So he knew that he would have to wait until he did something wrong. He did that by leaving out the one critical piece of information, that he knew that Ken said it, he would know that he would have something to deal with the destruction of the crane.

"I was nowhere near when that crane was destroyed," answered Ken.

"Then were where you?" Asked Roger.

"I was in the East Warehouse, doing inventory," answered Ken.

"Do you have anybody to backup your story?" Asked Roger.

Ken was about to answer that question, but then he realized that he was on trial for something. He was good, but Ken knew it wouldn't do anything that would want Roger to think that he had anything to deal with the destruction of the crane.

"I am on trial here? Are you accusing me of something, if you are, I suggest that you make it right now, because you are wasting my time!" Asked a slightly angered Ken.

"No, I am not, I am just trying to cover all my bases, that is all nothing more, nothing less. I am just doing the job that I get paid for," answered Roger.

"Then do it, and leave me alone to do mine," said Ken.

"You didn't answer my question. Do you have anybody to backup your story, that you were in that Warehouse?" Asked Roger.

"You don't give up, don't you? Yes, I do two people. They are Carol Sweetwater and Sam Eubanks. Carol is a runner, she is the one that give and take messages to other people through our little complex, she is the one that had told me that you wanted me, and Sam is package handler, he packs the boxes and the crates on the trucks," answered Ken.

"No, I don't and that is the reason why I am the best, and thank you for your information," said Roger.

With that Roger started to walk away from Ken, after the meeting that these two, each one of them were thinking to different things. For Roger, he got what he wanted, he got him mad and he showed his true face, he knew that a person that had nothing to hide and was really worry about this, wouldn't get upset so fast with all of the questions. They would welcome all of the questions for it would tell them that somebody did care about their plight. So Roger knew that Ken was somehow involve in this, how far, that was another question that he would have to get the answer to, that would only be a matter of time. But, for Ken, it was completely different for him, he got more than he wanted out of this meeting. He found out that this person had gotten a lot closer than he would of like, because of that he knew that he would have to be token care of, one way or another.

Ken watched as Roger walked away from him. Seeing that, he reaches for something that was around his neck. After he got a good firm grip around the thing, he pulls the thing out and with that, he pull out a sliver chain with a crystal-like charm on it as well. He toyed with the thing, thinking about calling out his Megadeus out of the water and to take out Roger as he watch Roger head back to the office section of this place, he knew for that Roger was going to ask about Carol and Sam. He knew that if he did, they would tell him that they didn't see him there and that he was lying about his location of when the crane was destroyed by the Sea Titan, which he wasn't in the warehouse. The reason behind that was because he was inside of the Sea Titan, piloting the thing and using one of its laser attacks to destroy the crane.

He didn't want to kill anybody, he didn't know that there was a person inside of that thing, the only thing that he wanted to do was to stop Ness from working there. It happen and there was nothing that he could to change it, the only thing that he could do was to manage to somehow work this out. With that thought he knew what he had to do.

"I have commit to the path, what happens next has already happen, I am just realizing it. I know what I have to do," he said. With that he brought the crystal-like charm up to his mouth and spoke his summoning phase to bring out his own Megadeus.

Roger had found himself back at where the office was at for this business, while he assume that Ken was lying to him, he wanted to make sure that he was. The best way to do that was to talk to Sam and Carol to find that Ken was indeed with them at that time. Unlike Ken, these two people came up to him as fast as they could.

The first out of the duo of people was Carol, he saw that she was younger than he was, not even out of her teens and because of that she was a little scare of seeing him. Even with that state of mind that she had right now, it didn't hind the facts of what she look like. She was wearing an outfit that was made of two different types of clothing that a person could wear. She a white blouse in which she had unbuttons the first two buttons and she had rolled up the two sheves, she had the thing pulled out. The white blouse was cover pair of gray jeans that seem that they were cut a little lose. Her hair was shoulder length and the top pair of her hair was pulled back in rubber band.

"Are you Carol Sweetwater?" Asked Roger.

The dark and mysterious nature of his voice made the young messenger shake when he spoke.

"Yes…I…am, " she manage to cough out.

"I would like to know were you at the Eastern Warehouse two days ago?" He asked.

"Yes, I was," she spoke again.

"Was Ken Tacoma there with you?" Roger asked, but this time he lighten the harshest of his voice when he saw that she was scare of something.

"No, he wasn't," she answered.

"Can you tell me where he was at?" He asked.

"No, I don't know, now I please get back to work, I need this job so much," answered Carol.

Roger nodded his head at her and with that she walked away from him. Roger let all of the answers that she gives to him, to sink in with the rest of all of the information that he got. This did prove that Ken was lying around his whereabouts at the time in question, but he knew that he would have to take this information with a gain of salt, because she was scare of something. It was that fear that was inside of her that, which told him that she might said anything to him so that she could get away from him and back to work as soon as she could. He also notice that there was a bit of legitimacy that was in her voice that she was indeed telling the truth minus the fear factor that she had inside of her.

Now it was time to move on Sam Eubanks and to see what he had to say about what happen two days ago. He found out that he was on the totally opposite scale of Carol. While Carol was young and a little scare, he was older and seems to be more aware of things. Even his face showed the years of living experience that he had and his clothes showed the many years of working this hard life that he had.

Roger asked the same series of questions that he had polled Carol with, unlike Carol, he was a little harsher, and this was because he wasn't scare of anything. It look like that he had seen the worst that life could give to a person and he had live through it and he had the battle damage to prove it. He gives him the same type of answers that Carol manages to give to him, but they won't with all the fear that Carol had. Hearing this, Roger knew for a fact that Ken had lie to him about where he was. Now the question was why did he do a thing to him and then he got his answer in a couple of seconds after he asked the question to himself.

The answer came with a huge slashing of water and the noise made Roger snapped his head in the direction of where it came from. He saw a huge displacement of water and he watched as all the water fell back to ocean, as he watch the water go back to the place of its origin, he saw a shape start to form. When all of the water was gone, Roger knew what he was looking at, it was the other Sea Titan-like Megadeus that Ness had spoke about, the one that he a sneak peak of.

"You are after me?" He asked.

The Megadeus turn its head in his direction and after that started to walk in his direction, while the other people that were there saw that, started to run away from that, Roger held his ground.

"Well, I got a little surprise for you," he said. With that he brought out his watch, he spoke his summoning phase in it that would bring Big O out of the ground and into action. In a matter of seconds Big O came out of the ground and after that Roger went into action himself.

Ness, himself was busy eating his lunch when he interrupted by one of his workers that had slam the door open. Ness reacted to this, by first anger for him for doing such a thing and then he saw the look that was on his face, with that he knew that something was up.

"What is it?" He asked.

"You better look for yourself," answered the worker and with that he ran out of the office.

Ness followed him outside and with that he saw what he was talking about. He saw the two Megadeuses standing there moving to each other, Ness knew that this wasn't good.

"We better get out here, as fast as we can," said Ness.

That what they did so that they could let the two gods fight it out behind the two of them.

Kari and Gatomon were on the beach once again, walking on the shore line, Kari had no clue why she was doing this, she knew that she had to do this, for Gatomon she was following her human friend no matter where she would go.

"Do you know why we are doing here?" Asked Gatomon.

"No, all I know is that we have to be here, for something is going to happen here and we have to be here when that happen. I can't explain it, Gatomon, all I know is that we have to be here," answered Kari.

Gatomon nodded her head at that and agree with her. She was right, about that because she got the same feeling that Kari had about this place, she felt it also and like her she couldn't explain it. It just a feeling that she had inside of her, the same type of feeling whenever she Digivole to another level. It was something that you can't explain, but when one was experiencing it, one would know it was happening to one.

"If that is so, do you know when this will happen?" Asked Gatomon.

"No, I don't know when, but we will know when it will happen," answered Kari.

"Okay," said Gatomon.

With that the two of them continue to walked down the beach and unknown to them was that they were slowly being transported to the other world. The only thing that they saw while that was happening was the slowly changing surroundings and then finally it happens. The two of them were fully in the city of Paradigm, with all of the dark and gothic-looking buildings, with that the two of them knew where they were at, they were that other world. It had finally happen for the two of them.

Seeing that the two of them stop walking and started to take a look around them, at all of the buildings that seem to tower all the way up to sky. Gatomon put her ears down as she started to look at everything that was around her, she had never seen a place like this before, and the description that Kari told her didn't do this place justice.

"Are we here?" Asked Gatomon.

"Yes, we are," answered Kari.

Hearing that Gatomon wanted to tell her to stay put, and let her do all of the exploring, for she was a Digimon that had attacks in her that could defend herself from anything here that wasn't safe. Before she could do that, Kari was on the move and Gatomon followed her.

"Kari, where are you going?" Asked Gatomon.

She didn't answer her question, she just continue to walk and with that they found themselves out of the alley, on to a street. With that Gatomon saw more of this city and with that she saw that the gothic style that they saw with one building was throughout this city. They also saw more of this place and that the section of this city that they were at, was in state of disrepair. Seeing that and knowing that a building that was in that state was a dangerous to be around, Gatomon ran as fast as she could so that nothing would happen to her.

"Kari!" Cried Gatomon.

Hearing that Kari snapped out the state of flux that she was in and notice where she was at, she was in the city that she had dreamt about.

"Gatomon, I here," said Kari.

"Yeah, you told me a couple of seconds ago," said Gatomon.

"No, Gatomon, I mean I really here, not in a dream state of a vision state, I am really here," said Kari. With that realization of where she was at, she started to get weak in the knees and she was about to faint, but before she could do that she heard a loud smashing sound.

That sound makes her snapped out of the state of flux that she was in and Gatomon in a matter of seconds jump into protector mood. The two of them waited to see what was the cause of the noise and they saw what was the producer of the noise.

It was a giant armor thing that had torn a piece of one of the buildings off like it was paper mache. The two of them found out the reason behind that was the thing had walked backward, like it was backpedaling from something. They heard the thunderous sound every time that thing took a step on the ground as they thing pass them by. Kari saw the face and with that she recognized the thing, it was the thing that she had seen before, the face that it had was dead ringer for her. That yellow demonic style face was something that she knew that she would never forget as long as she would live.

Gatomon saw the reaction that was on her face and she was about to Digivole to her Ultimate Level of Angwoman, so that she could have the power to protect her from that thing. Kari monition to her that the thing wasn't threatening her life, the only thing that it was doing to her was scaring her and then she notice why the thing was backpedaling, there was another one of these things that was chasing the one with the smile on that face. Gatomon took a look at the other one, it had a different style of face, a more stoical face on it and it also was all in black, it was also slightly taller than the other one. Even with that, other one seem to have a little more speed as well and it was using it as an advantage.

That one passes them by and like the first one, it didn't notice that the two of them were down on the ground looking at them, as they walked by them. Gatomon turned her attention to Kari, to see her reaction to that, unlike the first one, she didn't have a face that was full with terror, she look like she was happy that this one was here and that she knew somehow that one would save them.

"What are they?" Asked Gatomon.

"I think they are called Megadeuses," answered Kari.

Gatomon walked back to Kari. "Great God?" Asked Gatomon.

"You hear the term before?" Asked Kari.

"Once, a long time ago," answered Gatomon. "So long ago, I forgot the time and the place where I heard them being talk about. So don't ask me their type of questions."

With that the two of them looked up and saw that the second Megadeus had used one of its attacks, an attack that had used two chain-like weapons that on the end had an arrow blade at the end of it. That thing peace through the armor of the other Megadeus and with that it started to pull the thing toward it, but the other thing didn't go willingly. It took hold of two of the nearest buildings as an attempt to stop that other one from pulling it in, for the kill. As the two huge armor robots struggle for control for each other, the surroundings were suffering because of the fight between the two of them.

Gatomon knew this and that the only way that she could save Kari was to go to the next level of her Evolution Line, which could be either Nefertimon or Angewoman.

"We have to get out here, this is getting to dangerous for us to be around," said Gatomon.

"I have to agree with that Gatomon," said Kari and with that she knew that she knew that Gatomon had to go to the next level for them to make a b-line out of here. Even if the two of them knew that Gatomon could go to either Nefertimon or Angewoman and fly out here, Nefertimon was easier for Gatomon to go to. So that what she picked to.

"Digiarmor energize!" Said Kari and with that Gatomon knew that the Armor Digivole Process had started and she could feel the energy behind release that would make her Armor Digivole to Nefertimon.

"Gatomon Armor Digivole to…" started Gatomon.

"Nefertimon, the Angel of light," ended Nefertimon. Out of the pink light came an armor Egyptian-looking beast that flew to Kari. In a matter of seconds Kari got on the back of her Digimon and with that the two of them flew out of the fighting zone. Just in time because the taller one had punch the smaller one, with so much force that it knock it right into one of the building. The impact of something so big cause damage to the building and it knock some debris down to street level, right where Kari was standing.

Kari saw that, and counted her lucky stars that she wasn't there and with that the two of them flew away from the fighting zone. Even while they were doing that Kari kept an eye out on the battle, to see how the taller Megadeus was fairing against the other Megadeus, she saw that he was holding his own.

"I wish that we could help the taller one," said Kari.

"There is nothing that we can do," answered Nefertimon

"I know," she said as she turned back in the direction of where they were going and that when she notice that there was somebody else that was in thick of the fight. That somebody was standing on the rooftops of another building and it looked like he was using some type of V.R control.

"Maybe, there is something that we can do," said Kari.

"What do you mean?" The Armor Digimon ask.

"That a look at what that guy is doing," said Kari and then she pointed in the direction of where that guy was at. Nefertimon looked in that direction and she saw what she was looking at.

"I see," she said.

"Are you thinking what I am thinking, Nefertimon?" Asked Kari.

"Yes," she said and with that the Armor Digimon flew in the direction of where the other guy was.

That person was Ken Tacoma, and he was controlling the Sea-Titan-like Megadeus through a V.R. like system. He saw Nefertimon, the Armor-Level Digimon come at him, while she wasn't as big as a Megadeus, her unchanging face still made a big impression on him and the fact that she could fly also double the his feelings when he saw her. He walked back a little at the sight of her.

"Cat's Paw!" Yelled Nefertimon. Seconds after that the leg armor started to glow and out of them came a half dozen tiny missiles, three for each leg. They destroyed the ledge that was right in forth of Ken and sock wave from the explosion cause Ken to fall back. He tripped on his own two feet when he trip to avoid the explosion and doing that he landed on his back, breaking the power source of the V.R. system.

The effect of the destroyed power source happen in a matter of seconds, as the second Sea Titan Megadeus fell limp from the lack of control by Ken. Seeing that, Roger seizes this opportunity to take that thing out and he did by using his Pile Diver Attack/Punch right to the head of the Megadeus. With that the Megadeus fell down the ground with the destroyed face, that was the control center of this type of Megadeus.

Roger wanted to know how help him with this battle and right on call, he got his answer. He saw a white winged creature flying in the air flying away from a size battle area. Roger looked at the battle area that he guess was caused by that thing, he saw that there was a person lying on the top of the roof. He made Big O move closer to where that person was at and when he got close enough he saw that it was Ken Tacoma that was lying on the roof. He saw the same V.R. like system that Kari and Nefertimon had seen.

Seeing that, Roger just shook his head at that, they never learn, these small time criminals, that when they mess with him and Big O, he would be the one that would come on top.

"Stupid," he said as he looked at the person that was lying there. He got what deserved for using something that he didn't understand. He was so tempted to pick him up and drop him off like he did with Beck, then he got an idea how to deal with this person and would be the perfect form of symmetry, would teach him a very good lesson.

The next thing that Ken Tacoma saw when he woke up from the force sleep that creature had put him in, he saw that he had company. Those companies was Ness Lockheart and Roger Smith, but of them were looking at him, maybe watching him until he woke up from the sleep. Witch he did and he was very happy that he got out of the sleep.

"I see that you are up," said Ness.

"Now long was I out?" He asked.

"We don't know, Roger over here found you here, just pass out, so he called the authorities about your status, that themselves call me to see how you are," answered Ness.

Ness got up from the roof and with that he notice the spitting headache that he got. His body reacted by forcing him to put his hand on top of his head. "Oh man, what hit me." Then he reminder what did hit him, it was that winged white creature and its missile attack. "Did you see it?"

"See what?" Asked Roger.

"That thing, that wined white creature, its attack me with its missile attack that cause me to break my power source that I used to control…" started Ken.

"That Megadeus," said another voice.

Ken looked in the direction of where the new voice had come from; he saw that that voice came from. He saw that it was Major Dan Dastun.

Hearing that, Ken didn't know what to say at this, it look like that his little hidden fact had been brought to light. He tried to think of something that would explain all of this to all three of them, but he couldn't think of anything that would be good explanation of what they were seeing right now.

"Don't even try to explain, I know everything, I know that you were the one that had cause the crane to be destroyed, that killed that worker, and you were also the one that was skimming from the top from our profits," said Ness.

Seconds after that Dastun put the cuffs on Ken. "Ken you are under the arrest for the murder of Jack Kuan-Ying, embezzlement, and the willful destruction of private property."

Roger and Ness turned their head away as Dastun with some of his uniform men took Ken away.

"Thank you, Mister Smith, I don't know what I would of done without your help," said Ness.

"That is what I get paid for and reminder our terms, the money should be transfer from your account to mine in the hour," said Roger.

After that he walked away from the building, and when get got out of the building he found his car. So he got in there and started to head back home. It was another good day at his job and it was time for him to take it easy. Like every job that a person could have, there was time where a person needed time to take a break from the work, and his job was no different from a regular job.

Nefertimon had gone back to her Champion state of Gatomon, with that she was back in her small cat like state. Even if she was small, that didn't mean that she was weak for inside of her little body had contain extreme power for a Digimon of her size and of her level.

"Are you all right?" Asked Kari.

"Yeah, nothing that a little cat-nap wouldn't take care of," answered Gatomon.

"You will need more than a little cat-nap to deal with us," said a voice.

Gatomon and Kari turned around to see there was a man that was hidden by the black shadows. What she could tell was that he was wearing some type of robe that hides the shape of his body. Seeing that Gatomon jumped into action, ready to attack this person with either her Lighting Claw or Cat's Eye Hypnotism attacks on that person. She showed that she was ready for a fight by coughing down on her two legs and she had both her claws out in the open ready to strike at him.

"Funny, was thinking the same thing," said Gatomon.

"All we wanted was whatever you had, but now we are still going to take everything you have, but now is going to hurt you," he said. Then he snapped his fingers and in a matter of seconds two more people dress in the same fashion came out of the woodwork

"You better get out of here, I will take on these lackeys," said Gatomon.

Kari didn't want to leave her out on her own, all by herself with no backup, but she knew that Gatomon could handle them, because she knew that if she had survived the Digi World and Myotismon. If she could do that, she knew that she handle almost anything that life could through at her.

Kari nodded her head and with that she ran away from them, letting Gatomon do her job in protecting her from dangers, it didn't matter where it was at. With that the two of them went their own ways, Kari ran down the street, not knowing where she was head at, and for Gatomon it was time to shine.

"Lighting Claw!" She yelled and with a quick swipe of her claw, the leader of this group went down in a matter of seconds with three scratch marks on his face.

That didn't stop the other two that went after her and she tried to fend them off, but there were to many evens for her. The only thing that she could was to meow in protest as she tried to escape the grip of these people, which were acting like a constricting snake. The more that she tried to escape, the more they held tighter on her body.

* * *

Kari could hear the cries of her Digimon and she wanted to go back to save her. She knew that she did this, so that she could live for a couple of more seconds, the same way that Piximon did for them when they were escaping from the Dark Masters. His life didn't matter to him, for he saw the big picture, that there lives where more important than his, and that what Gatomon did for her, her life was far more important than hers was. That didn't make it easier for her to accept that fact she did that for her, and she tried to contain her feelings about what she did for her. She failed as she started to cry at what she did.

The only thing that she could do was to wipe the tears from her eyes, while she was doing that, to help her get the most of the tears off her face, she put her head down to the ground. Because of that she didn't see that she was about to run into somebody and she did.

"Whoa, watch where you are going," the person said.

The sound of the new voice, a dark and mysterious one, it was different from any she had heard before, but yet she could swear she had heard a slightly different version of it. She looked up at where the voice had come from, she saw the person looked as dark and as mysterious as his voice was. Even with that, he still had a charm to him that didn't want to make her run away from him, she could tell that he had some goodness him in despite the way that he look right now. She took a look at his face and with that, she knew where she had seen it before, it was the same face as that huge black armor thing that she had seen in her dreams and finally in the real world.

With that, she wonders, if the two of them were one and the same, that somehow he mange to have a human form, that he could change into, that he could travel in. That big black armor thing she had seen before was his true form, the form that he used when he was attacking something. She had seen this before with two Digimon.

"Can you please help me?" Asked Kari.

Roger turned his attention to the young girl that was with him right now, in doing that he notices that she was the girl that he had seen in his visions. The one that was a fine example of sweet innocent, she was the same person, with one omission, she was here in real life. He could touch and hear her, she was no figment of his imagination, and she was as real as he was. The one that he had save and because of that, she had ran from Big O because she had fear of the thing.

"Now?" He asked.

"My friend, Gatomon is in trouble and I think they are killing her. Her only crime is that she wanted to protect me," answered Kari. Then she fainted and with that Roger caught her before she could fall on the ground.

Seconds after that he heard what sounded like the crying of a cat in the distance. Hearing that he knew what he had to do and he did it, he went after the people that were attacking, what he thought were another person. He was socked at what he saw, he saw that one of the robbed people, wasn't holding a person, but a cat, that itself was a pure white that again was a significant contrast to dark environment that the animal was in.

He didn't need to say anything to them, for as soon as one of them had looked up at him, they dropped the animal down on the ground. Anger full Roger at the sight of this, he had only seen one animal before, but it didn't matter to him, for this one was an innocent living things, that was being hurt for good reason, and that was something that he like seeing happen to anything. He wanted to go after the three of them for what they did to that thing, but he look down at the cat-like animal, he could see that it needed help. He felt that was more important to take care of, so he picked up the cat and walked it over where the girl was.

As he was taking Gatomon back to Kari, Gatomon started to wake up. She noticed that a person was transporting her, and that person wasn't Kari.

"Who are you?" She asked.

Roger stopped dead in his track as the thing spoke to him, he looked down at the animal, he saw it was up, and it was looking at him with its big blue eyes.

"I am the one that had save your life, and I am taking you to your friend," said Roger.

"Kari! Is she all right? I swear if you did anything to hurt her, you will paid," snapped Gatomon.

Kari, that her name thought Roger. "I did nothing to her, she just fainted and she wanted me to help you," said Roger.

The two of them made their way where he had to put Kari down. Seeing that Gatomon jumped out of Roger's arm and to the aide of Kari. She had seen this only once before, that happen almost four years ago, when they were walking through the desert and Kari got sick with a fever. She had almost die because of that, but it wasn't for the help of her brother, Tai and Izzy she would of die, but the two of them had save her.

Gatomon felt the neck of her human friend, and she found out that she was still alive.

"Is she all right?" Asked Roger that showed a rare moment of weakest.

Gatomon turned around to face him. "Yes, is she fine, now I would like to know, who you really are and what is this place were are in right now."

"I will tell you, but I would like to know who you are and why you are here?" Asked Roger.

"Fine, since I am the newcomer to this place, I am Gatomon, Kari's Digimon and I don't know why we are here. Now you," answered Gatomon.

That Gatomon and what the hell is a Digimon thought Roger. "I am Roger Smith, and this place that you are in, is called Paradigm City," answered Roger.

Roger was about to ask the question that he thought, he wanted to know what was a Digimon, but before he could answer that question, he heard a sound in the distance. A sound that he knew all to well, it was the sound of a Megadeus coming.

TBC…

Okay guys what to do think about this chapter, I am sorry that it took so long, but I had some writer block while I was writing this one.
