DISCLAIMER: I do not own Big O or any of the characters

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 either show. I am not making any money on this story either. Now I own Mary Sanderous, Nivernmon, Aggymon, Metal Aggymon, Metal Nivernmon, the Crest of Order, the Digi Egg of Order and Marry's Digi Jewel. Please don't use them without my permission.

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. This goes the same with the first season Digidestined as well. I am also including the third movie sentiment of the Digimon Movie, the one with Willis, even if that part of the movie dose not takes place in the story line of the show.

Also with Halsemon, I am going to use both Japanese and American name attacks, instead just his American attacks. This is because the dubbers screw up his three different attacks, giving the three different attacks the same name. Okay is the list of his attacks and how they are like:

Mach Impulse- this is the correct name of his attack that is like a tornado, which has been mistakenly dubbed Tempest Wing.

Tempest Wing- the correct style of this attack is when he shot out two red energy beams out of the wings of his head armor.

Eagle Eye- this is an American attack name, in which he shot out two red energy beams out of his eyes.

There is another attack that he has where he fires out yellow circles out of his eyes as well. Of course it has been mistakenly dubbed Tempest Wing as well. I don't know the correct name of this attack.

I am sorry about the long explanations in the stories, but I am writing this for fans of Big O that hasn't seen a signal episode of Digimon of either season. I don't want them to feel like they are lost in the story telling, for I used a lot of references from that show.

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?

Infected by the virus from the acid, Roger turns evil and everybody tries to stop him from destroying the city, while they are doing that Izzy tell the team about his discovery; clues about Roger's past are revealed.

Special Notes: In the light of the acts of terror that our nation suffer on Sept. 11, 2001 in both NYC and Washington DC, this chapter's battles scenes are NO way glorify the destruction of the World Trade Centers Towers and the Pentagon. Unlike my pervious chapter that was wrote before the acts of terror, this chapter is currently being written during the events. I state before that I don't glorify what happen on that date, but the battles scenes are require in these chapters for if they are token out they would weaken my story. Again I morn the lose of all of the people that die in both attacks, I hope that there are people that are alive in both buildings. God blesses you all. Plus this chapter is also a tribute to the all the firefighters, police, and EMT that had die trying to save people and the ones that are right now trying to find survivors right now.

Also this one chapter is partially told in flashback or it is my attempt to do something like that.

Chapter 15: The Ring of Fire Part 3: A Search For a Cure

Marry saw Halsemon come into her point of view and she could tell that Nivernmon was on there as well, being held by Yolie. Marry could tell that Nivernmon was weak from the assaulted that she received at the hand of Big O.

"Marry…" started Nivernmon.

"Don't speak, you just took on a Megadeus and I must said you did a good job," said Marry.

After that Imperialdramon Fighter Mode came down from the sky and that when the same for Mega Kabuterimon with Izzy on the back of the Ultimate-Level Digimon. Then Omnimon came running forward as well with Tai and Matt on either side of the Fused Digimon. Cody came on the back of his Digimon as well.

"How he is?" Asked Tai.

"Not good," answered Marry.

"We have to take him back to his house and to see if there is any information on two data discs that Dorothy got," said Izzy.

"All right," said Marry.

With that Marry got on the back of Halsemon with Roger and with that everybody knew what to do. Imperialdramon Fighter Mode floated up into the sky and then he used his two arms to pick up Omnimon. Mega Kabuterimon went up into the sky as well and Cody ran after the trio of Digimon.

"So what do we do now?" Asked an annoyed Daemon. He was getting sick and tried of this guy, almost all of his plans being stopped. He was helping him just so he could get one thing, the leadary sword of the Arc Angel Micheal that he knew was located on this world.

"We wait, I still have another Megadeus that is out there right now," said Alex.

While they were doing that a person that was in the shadow looked at what they were all doing. The person watch the entire battle take place and he like seeing Roger fall like that, but his joy was broken when the Digidestined and their Digimon interfered with what Rosewater did. While he didn't like Rosewater, trying to paid him off like that, but right now he did like what he did with the other Megadeus.

"So," the person said.

After that the person in that was located in the shadows of this city walked away from the located he was at to a huge shadow like thing that was almost as big as the skyscraper that was located in the background. Even fact with the fact that it was clocked in darkest, the person still knew what it was. As he walked closer to the thing the shadow that hid his face lessen to point were it showed that it was the white bandage face of the person that was known as Schwarzwald and since the shadow was gone off the face of Schwarzwald, the shadow that was on the huge thing was also gone as well. In doing that, it showed the it was the red Megadeus that was know as Big Duo. While he did received moderated damage when he fought with a huge winged dragon creature and Big O that was just enough to put the Megadeus out of the fold for a little while. The damage was impressive with the visual part of the fight, it was inside that counted. For they didn't score big points in that part of the fight, for to his surprise Big Duo didn't have all of its internal workings destroyed when Big O punched it.

He had to thank the techs that repaired the Megadeus for him with asking for anything in returned. They told him that they were doing this because they shared the same feelings they were doing to help him achieve his goal, but he had to clue that these techs that were helping him were actually working for Rosewater. Like before when they repaired his Megadeus after the second fight with Big O, they did it again for him, he still had no clue that they won't working him. Right now that didn't matter for him because he had Big Duo up and running once again, with that he knew that he could continue on his plans to make this city find out what happen 40 years ago.

With that on his mind he climbed in the cockpit of his Megadeus and with that he made Big Duo go into flight mode. After that the Megadeus that used the sky as his battlefield went up into the gray skies of this world and then it disappeared into the sky.

* * *

As that Megadeus went into the sky a person that was covered in the person's own blood was limping through the streets. The person was holding his arm almost like it was broken and that arm was also covered his own blood as well. As the person made their way past the buildings' shadows it showed whom that person was, it was Beck. He had survived that attack that the fused Digimon had put on his Megadeus. He had no clue how he had survived that attack all he knew was that he had survived the attack.

Right now he didn't care about anything except for his will being everything else was secondly for him right now. If that meant that he had no memories of what happen in the battle or who he was then so be it, right now that was just a detail that would get in the way of his survival.

Beck found a heavy cloth that was slightly stained with several of liquids but despite that Beck put the thing on his back. With that he found out that it was quiet warm despite the haggard appearance that it had and with that he continue to walk through the concrete caverns that made of this city.

"Who I am?" Beck asks to himself. He looks at his hand and he could see pieces crimson on his hand. While he didn't know who he was he did know what that meant, and that mean that he was bleeding, than this crimson that was on his hand was blood. "Why I am bleeding?" He asked to himself again.

Seconds after that the dark color skies of this world open up with rain and Beck reacted to that by moving the cloth on top of his head to shield himself from the wet rainwater that was coming down on him. With that on top of his head he couldn't feel the water drop on top of him and once again he was drifting through the streets of this city. As he was doing that he leaving a trail of blood, but as soon as he made the trail he was wash away by the rain that was coming from the skies.

Three Days Later…

Has it been three days since that battle? Marry asked to her only. It felt like to her that the fight had happen almost ages ago and to make matters worst for the Digidestined was that she felt sick to her stomach, like she was going to throw up. It was the same sick feeling that she had when she had a hangover after a hard night of drinking with friends in cheer. Right now this hangover feeling that she had right now was because of the feeling of uncertainly about everything right now.

Marry look down in the bathtub and saw a drip of water drop down into the tub. It landed inside of a small puddle of water that was from near the drain and when it did it created a ripple affect through out the small pool of water. Seeing that Marry knew that didn't come from anything else beside her, she had a tear on her face. She knew she was crying and she wasn't crying because of what happen three days ago, she was crying because of how her life had went. Only a couple of years ago she was full with so much hope that are life would go to the way that she wanted, but now it wasn't going as she planed. While thinking about her life in general she found herself flashback to what happen three days ago…

…. Marry looked around her surroundings to make sure that nobody was following them and while she was doing that she saw that the skies of this world was starting to turn a dark, ugly gray. With that, she knew that it was going to start to rain and while Marry didn't know how the rain was like in this world, she could guess that it was going to be a cold rain. This was because of the all of the experiences that she had in her world told her that when a sky was like this color the rain was going to be cold, there was nothing worst than when something was cold, but when it was also wet.

"We have to hurry up, it look like it going to start to rain," said Marry.

"Marry, it always looks like it going to rain," said Yolie.

"How do you know? You have only been in this place for a couple of seconds," said Marry.

Seconds after that the sky open up with rain, at first the rain was light like a mist from a sprinkler. The water drops were small and they all didn't land on everybody was they still landed on Marry's skin and that went the same for everybody else. Just like Marry feared, the water was cold and wet, to make matters worst the winds of this world started to pick up as well. With that Marry could feel the cold wet rainwater that was still on her skin bit her. The cold from the rainwater felt like knives cutting into her skin.

Despite the shape and quick pain that came from the combination of water and wind, Marry managed to keep Roger on the back of Halsemon. While doing that, she also kept Nivernmon on her shoulders despite the fact that Nivernmon had her claws in her back.

"How he is?" Asked Yolie.

Marry felt his neck to check his pulse, while Marry wasn't an expect on medical knowledge, she did have a decent knowledge of it. She knew that it was good that he had a pulse, that meant that he was still alive, but she couldn't tell if the pulse was strong or not. All she knew that he had one right now.

"He got a pulse, but I can't tell if it strong or not, I no doctor or nurse, I was I could tell you if it strong or not," answered Marry.

"Well at least he got one, maybe there is somebody that can help him where he lives," said Yolie. Yolie paused herself to do some thinking about what she just said to her. "By the way, where dose he live?"

"Let's us show you the way," said Izzy. With that Izzy and his Digimon Mega Kabuterimon lead the way.

"Yup, we do know the way," said Tai.

"They are right, Izzy and the rest of us know the way to his house, don't worry," said Marry.

"Marry…" started a voice.

Marry turned in the direction of where the voice was coming from…

…and when she did she found out that she back in the present with Kari calling her name to bring her back to reality. In doing that she found out that she was still in Roger's bathroom and looking over the inside of the bathtub.

"Are you all right?" Asked Kari. "You have been in here for almost three days."

Marry didn't say anything to the question that Kari had asked her, but Kari was right about her. She was indeed in this place for that long and she wanted to know why was she acting like this. Yes it was a hard choice that she had made to fight Roger and Big O, but it was nessasacry for her to do that. For if she didn't do that, most of the Digimon and Digidestined that were up in that hotel would have been hurt or even worst killed by the two of them. She knew that she did a hard thing, but still didn't make her feel any better about what she did.

"I have," answered Marry.

"Yes you have, the rest of us were starting to get worry about you," said Kari.

With that Marry got up from the floor and greeted Kari face to face with the follow Digidestined. "I am sorry about that, but I felt sick about what I did to Roger."

"I know that was hard, but you had to do it," said Kari.

Marry slightly nodded her head at what Kari just said to her. "You are right about that, I had to do it. Speaking of Roger how he doing?"

"He holding his own, but with the help of your Digi Jewel…"

…Everybody made it to Roger's house that was a huge building that was located outside of most of the domes of this city. While for most people seeing his house wasn't a sock, it was almost like it was common place for them all. For Yolie and Cody it wasn't the same for this was the first time that they had seen something like this before.

"Is that a house?" Asked Yolie.

"Yes, that is," answered Izzy.

"That place is huge," started Cody. "How I am going to get up there, the rest of your are flyers while my Digimon, Ankylomon, is a ground base Digimon."

"I help," said Mega Kabuterimon. Seconds after that the red armor Digimon swooped down to pick up both Cody and Ankylomon. Mega Kabuterimon showed off his skills and his strength by picking up the two of them in any of his four arms. After that he put the two of them on his back.

"Nice seeing your," said Izzy.

"I could say the same thing with you, Izzy," said Cody.

"Thank you, for the lift," said Ankylomon.

"Not a problem," said Mega Kabuterimon. "It is the least that I can do for you."

"Okay, people your know the drill, but let us go first," said Marry.

"Right," said Izzy.

"All right," said Tai.

With that, Yolie told Halsemon to head toward the opening that was the balcony of the living room of Roger's house. They all landed without problem and seconds after that Marry with Nivernmon still on her back got off of the Armor-Level Digimon, at the same time Yolie did the same thing. Seconds after that Yolie and Marry help Roger that was still in a some what sleepy state get off the back of Halsemon. Despite the fact that Roger right now was almost dead weight for the two of them, they still managed to get him off the back of that Digimon without dropping him on the floor.

"Man, this guy weight a ton," said Yolie.

"Tell me about it," said Marry.

After that Marry and Yolie walked Roger inside of his house. In the background Halsemon walked behind them and the rest of the other Digidestined and their Digimon made their way to the balcony, but not going back to their Rookie Forms. In the foreground, Kari was the first to notice what was going on right now. She could see that her older brother wasn't in good shape and she wanted to know why.

"Roger…" started Kari and after that she looked at Marry and Yolie. "What happen? Why he is like that?"

"Long story, but right now we need to find a place where he can lay down that we can kept an eye on him," said Marry.

"Here," said Kari that pointed to a black sofa.

Marry nodded her head at that and with that both Marry and Yolie put the young Megadeus pilot down on the soft fabric of the sofa. When they did that they didn't see any type of reaction by Roger, but for them it was a load of their backs.

After that Marry pull out her Digi Jewel. "Plus we need this in forth of Roger, it seem to be the only thing that is countering the effects of the virus that came from that acid."

"All right," said Kari. After that Kari found a coffee table that she put in forth of Roger. Seconds after that Marry sat the Digi Jewel down on the table.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Asked Izzy.

"I using my Digi Jewel to kept that virus at bay entire we find a cure for whatever had infected him with this," answered Marry.

"No, it won't work like that, you need sunlight or a good source of light to kept that part of the Digi Jewel working," said Izzy.

"Izzy, are you joking, in this world you be lucky to get a sky that is light gray, there is no way in hell that we are going to be able to get sunlight that is strong enough to even touch this Digi Jewel," said Marry.

"Could candles be used as the source of light?" Asked Kari.

"They might, but we are going to need a lot of them," answered Izzy.

"Great, Izzy, just one problem where are we going to fine candles in this place and I don't even know for sure that he dose have candles," said Marry.

"He dose have a few," answered a voice that was in the distance.

Izzy, Marry, Yolie, and Kari turned their heads to see that it was Dorothy that had answered Marry's question about the status of the candles.

"Where are they, Dorothy?" Asked Marry.

"There," she answered and after that she pointed in the direction of where the candles were located at. She saw where she had pointed and she saw that it was a huge piece of furniture that reminded Marry of the huge wall unit that Marry's father got for their own version of their entainment center. The center included a VCR, a CD player that double as their surround sound unit, TV, and their DVD player. Of course that the wood that was used to make this piece of furniture was painted black.

After taking a couple of seconds to look at the piece of furniture that look like that it wasn't cheap. Marry started to open up the drawers to see where the candles were located at and it look her a couple of tries to find the candles that were she was speaking about. She found out that they were long and tapped type of candles that were called tapers and they were also black. Seeing this Marry knew that Roger didn't know what black candles meant, for they were used in occult celebrations. With that, Marry didn't know if it was safe for them to use these candles because of the risk that might be around these candles when they were lit. That they might bring about some type of demon or curse and right now that world didn't need something like that.

"Did you fine them?" Asked Dorothy.

Marry picked up the taper-style candles and turned around in the direction of where Dorothy was located. "Yes, but I am a little worry about lighting these candles."

"Why?" Asked Dorothy.

"You might not know this, but in my world when a person lights a black candle it usually means that they are doing some type of thing that belongs to the occult. Like to bring a demon into my world or belong along a curse to a certain person, that is something that I don't want to do to this world," answered Marry. You got enough problems right now to deal with something like that Marry added to her only.

"It is a risk that I am willing to take, if is going to help him," said Kari.

"But I not, I don't like fighting two wars, fighting one is enough," said Marry.

"If we don't do anything, that Digi Jewel of yours won't mean a dam thing. That virus inside of him will take control over him once again, I don't know for sure the power of that Digi Jewel of yours will be able to wash that thing out of him," said Izzy.

"He is right, Marry, if we don't do anything we know for sure that thing inside of him will take control over him, we should risk it. I am not the type of person that won't do go without a fight," said Kari.

Hearing that, Marry knew what she had to do, she was going to light those black taper style candles of his. The first step was to put all of the candles where the Digi Jewel was located after that she ask for a liter or something that could lit the wick of the candle. Dorothy produced a packet of stick matches that Marry quickly let on the sandpaper. With that Marry quickly lit the first taper candle and waited for something to happen and nothing happen. So Marry used the same stick match to light the second of the series of candles and with that something did happen.

The Digi Jewel acted like a prism once again letting a ray of light coming through an bathing Roger in the light in the same style when a signal ray of light peek through the clouds. Seeing that reminded Marry of something she would see on a Religious painting with a passage from the Bible.

"That seem to be doing the trick," said Izzy. "Light another one."

Marry did that for Izzy and the ray of light got brighter….

…The same scene that Marry had created three days ago was still there and the two of them could see that Roger was still in a somewhat aware state. It was almost like the state when a person would wake somebody from a deep sleep, there where aware of their surroundings but couldn't do a thing about anything.

"Marry, you are back," said Izzy.

"Yes, I know what happen the past three days," said Marry.

"Okay, we crack the common threat that was between Metal Nivernmon and Roger, it metal," said Izzy.

"You are saying that metal is the link between the two of them?" Asked Marry.

"Yes, that what I just said, metal, any type of metal is the catalyst for that virus," said Izzy.

"That explains why when WarGreymon got hit by that spike, it burned him but he didn't turned into that twisted black thing that Metal Nivernmon did. The acid is the thing that breaks the skin, which allows the virus to enter into the system of the victim. Without the present of a metal the virus just effetely dies when it enter into the system of the victim," said Marry.

"Yes," said Izzy.

"But I would like to know why didn't Roger recover from the virus the same way that Nivernmon did when she was in her first Mega state?" Asked Marry.

"I would like to know that as well, but Dorothy, Norman, and me we couldn't fine that out that part of the information about the Virus that was located in the acid was deleted," answered Izzy. "We did a data trace on the file and found out that there was a lot more information on that file."

"Okay, with that out of the way, did you fine out any about the cure?" Asked Kari.

"A strange reference to a place that is known as ' Islesberry '," answered Izzy.

" 'Islesberry ', what is that? Is that a street name, a place, a name of a business, Izzy that dose help us at all," said Marry.

"Marry, I am trying my best here, this is best of places to dig thing up from the past," said Izzy.

"I know, but I just can't sit here and let that thing turn him evil just like that without a pitching a fight to stop it," said Marry.

"I know, but we are fighting an uphill battle right now," said Izzy.

"You can said that again," said Tai.

"But it getting dark and I don't want to go on the streets of this city," said Kari. That reminder the fight that they had against that wraith-like thing that they found out was a Megadeus.

Marry nodded her head at and with that everybody knew that it was time for them send the night in this place. With that Dorothy and Norman made preparations for Steve, Kari, T.K., Marry, Tai, Matt, Davis, and Ken to sleep the night. They didn't have to worry about the Digimon this was because the Digimon could sleep on the floor it was require for them to do so.

In a matter of seconds with the help of the Digimon and Digidestined alike both of the guest bedrooms were ready for them to sleep. With that everybody went into their rooms to sleep the night away except for Dorothy. This was because of two reasons, one she didn't need it and two somebody had to keep vigil for him. While official she was doing this because to kept a watch to see if none of the candles would catch fire on the pieces of furniture in his house, but unofficially she was doing this because of the feelings that she had for Roger. She wanted to make sure that he was all right.

Norman turn off the light in the entire house and the only sings of light was the series of candles that were burning their light against the dark.

The same signal burring light that was inside of Roger's house was also present in the place that Beck had found himself. He had found himself inside of a what look like to be an underground train station that look like that he had seen better days. He also found out that he wasn't alone, there were other people in this place as well. Seeing that he felt better, knowing that there were other people that were in the same type of boat that he was in right now.

"Here," said a gentle voice.

Beck took the cloth to see the face where the voice belongs. He could see that the voice belong to a woman who had a power white face that gentle features that were her eyes, nose, and lips. He also noticed that she was dress in a long following robe like shirt that was a little to big for the type of frame that she had right now. The shirt was so long that it hides the top of the pastel blue pair of pants, she almost looks like she was some type of angel and she had a light brown cup in her hand as well.

"What is that?" Asked Beck.

"It water, you look like that you need it," said the woman. After that the woman kneed down to Beck's level and with that Beck took the cup out of her hand. With that he became to drink out of the cup and he noticed that the water was the sweetest that he had ever had. It was almost better than anything that he had before was. He wanted to know where he could get more of this water.

"You like?" Asked the woman.

Beck nodded his head at. "Yes, I would like to know where you got this water, it some of the best that I ever had before. Where did you get it, and who are you? What is this place?"

"All in good time my friend, but I would like to know who are you," said the woman.

"I don't know, I don't reminder my name, all I know is that I was involved in some type of battle," answered Beck.

This worries the woman so much that she sat down next to Beck and doing that she noticed the cloth that he had wrapped around his body. She could see the several of different stains that were all over the cloth, the most major out of the different stains was the dark red spot that were close around his arms. Seeing that she knew that this battle had to be a major one and by the number of spots that were on the cloth she could guess that he was lucky to get away from the battle with his life.

"Let's me see, let me see your wounds," said the woman.

"Why?" Asked Beck.

"Because I can help you with your injuries, we do have medical personal here that could help you," answered the woman.

With that Beck took off the cloth and doing the woman could see that she was right about the injuries that he had received, they were major. Most of his arm was covered with dry blood and his cloths were also stained as well. Then her eyes moved away from the red stain to the clothes themselves and she saw that there was a suit. That told her that this guy had some money in a bank account somewhere in this city and she wanted to know why a guy dress like that find his way in this place. That made her think did this guy was involved with that fight between the three titan-like things that fought each other. If he was, it didn't matter to her, this was because in this place it wasn't her job to question about a person past or how they got here. It was her job to take care of them, to help them get back up on their feet as fast as she could with the means that she had with her right now. She was doing this to continue what her father started almost twenty years ago.

"My, God, you were right, you were involved in some type of major fight…" started the woman.

Then Beck fainted.

"Risko! Vinci! Get down here, we have a new arrival that needs your attention ASAP!" Ordered the woman.

Day had came to Paradigm City and while most of the clouds blocked the full rays of the sun, the clouds still couldn't block all of the light that can from the sun. With most people it was time to do their daily life style in this place, for most people it was time to get up and do their jobs so that they could paid for the things that they needed. For the Digimon and Digidestined that were located in Roger's house it was time for them to get into gear to help fine a cure for Roger even with the lack of knowledge that they had about it. While Izzy was curious about what was in the other Disc that Dorothy was given.

Right now he had to get some food into his system which would allow him to operate fully and that what he did. He got some food into his system and which that he knew that he could work on the puzzle that was these two Data Discs that they had right now. While he was doing that Marry was going to try to find out what Islesberry meant and why was so important in this world.

Marry had Armor Digivoled Nivernmon into Griffinmon and with that she got on the back of the Armor-Level Digimon.

"Marry be careful, you don't know what you will dig up when you go looking for that," said Tai.

"I know, and I also know that we don't have the Big O to help us as well, but I still have Metal Nivernmon to help protect me and you know that Metal Nivernmon can handle almost anything that this world could throw at the two of us," answered Marry.

With that the two of them went out of Roger's house and into the harsh world that was known as Paradigm City with a quest on her own, to find the cure to Roger's virus that was slowly eating him away, first in body, and then in soul. That was something that she couldn't allow to happen, not on her watch.

"What is the best place to look for something?" Asked Marry.

"A City Hall," answered Griffinmon.

"Yes, in a regular city, but your forget, Griffinmon, we aren't in a regular city and I don't want to go back to that place again, who know what that Mr. Rosewater guy would do to us if we just walk in asking about things," said Marry.

"Then I suggest that we go to HQ of Paradigm Military Police and talk to that guy you save when Big O was attacking," said Griffinmon.

"Right, a one called Major Dastun," said Marry.

With that the two of them went off in the direction of where the headquarters of the police force was located. While the two of them had no clue where it was located in this place, but the two of them knew that they would find it in the long run.

The three days had also past Angel, Alex, and Daemon just as well, this clam period was also time for them to take care of their wounds, to fix up the lose ends that were left hanging in the air right now. One of the lose ends was Beck, both Alex and Daemon wanted to know what had happen to him after the Megadeus was destroyed by another Digimon that came from that time of interfering children. At first Alex could stand by and watch them interfere with this plans because he thought that it was a little funny to watch these kids struggled at his plans. Now, their interfering right now was getting down right annoying to him and they were getting dangerously close to his plans for this world. His plans for this world had to do with the Sword of the Arc Angel Micheal, the leader of the armies that were located right now in Heaven. He knew that if he got his hands on that sword he would have the power to travel to the other worlds with ease, he would have no trouble accessing the other worlds that were out there right now that were unaware of this world. He also knew about the other half of the other prophecy about that sword, and the God of three forms that if that person will get a hold of it, it will bring this world back to the way that it used to be like. He wanted to know for sure who this person was, he had assumed that it was his own son, Roger was the person that the prophecy was talking about. That was the reason why he took that piece out his soul of him to prevent him from using the power that were dominant inside of him right now and he knew that without that part of his soul inside of him he wouldn't be able to used them.

Right now, Roger was getting closer and closer to that part of his soul. This was all thanks to those Kids and their Digimon that were slowly breaking down the memory block that he had put around the time when Alex had stole that part of Roger's soul away from him and put inside of that Megadeus that was known as Big O. While Alex was a little upset that he had found the Megadeus he wasn't worry that he would fine the truth about himself and the reason why he was so close to it. Now that false safely that he had was now being broken like glass in a window or a mirror that was breaking down all of the falsehoods that were around his life. He knew that he had to stop this from happening, because it he allowed to happen he knew that Roger with that piece of his soul back where it belong would defeat him.

"I will not allow this to happen, I will kill you all before I will allow this, I swear this to you, Lord," said Alex.

After that a was a knock on the door of his private room. Only a few knew about this place and with that he knew that whoever this person was had to be a part of his inner circle to know about this place. With that he knew that something was up.

"Yes, who is it?" Asked Rosewater that hides his anger toward the person that dare knock on this door while he was in this place.

"It is me, Sir, Miss Lovejoy," said Angel.

Hearing that Alex knew that it was all right with this person and that it was safe for her to enter into this place that was his inner place.

"Please enter," said Alex in the gentlest voice that he could manage up.

Angel open up the door and a woman dress in a pink shirt and skit with large coke glasses walked into the room. While most of her features were being blocked out by the glare of the white light that came from the hallway when compare to the almost dark conditions that Alex had put into this room. It didn't matter to Rosewater and this was because she knew who that person was, just by the curves that she had. Angel did what Alex told her to do and after that she shut the door behind her. In doing that she shut off the light from the hallway but it also help her see the inside of that room despite it being so dark for her eyes quickly adjusted to the lack of light. This was because she had got used to being in this room, but because she was a Digimon, who themselves had very acute senses and could see perfectly in much more darker places than this

"What is up?" Asked Alex.

"There is something that I think that you should see," answered Angel. After that she pick up a remote to turn on a TV screen. In doing that they could see that there were a flying creature up in the air with a woman riding on the back of the creature. The bright blue and sliver colors that made up the creature made the creature contrast against the pale colors of the sky. With that the two of them knew that this was a Digimon and the person that was on the back of the Digimon was a Digidestined. Angel knew who that Digimon was; it was Griffinmon an Armor Level Digimon, but Alex didn't know who that Digimon was.

"What are they doing here?" Asked Angel.

"I don't know, but I intend to find out," said Alex.

After that Alex took another look on the pair of Digimon and Digidestined.

Back at Roger's house, Tai took a close look at the skies of this world and couldn't image living a world like this, where the skies were always dark with so sings of light in them. Where no clue that the sun was up expect for the fact that it wasn't pitch black.

"I don't like her going out like that, without any backup," said Tai.

"Hey, Tai, I did it and look what happen to me," said Matt.

"Hey, he is right, you know, Matt went off on his own to find himself and in the long run it help the two of you become even closer friends than you were before," said Gabumon.

"You are right on that point, but I still don't like her doing that, she maybe the oldest out of all of us, but that still dose not give her the right to go an risk her life on a person that she know little to nothing about," said Tai.

"We could say the same thing about her as well, we don't know a lot about Marry either," said Matt. "It look like that you would be doing the same thing for her, risk your life to save hers."

"Matt, that is different," said Tai.

"How?" Asked Matt.

"It is different because she is the same as us, she is Digidestined and she lives in our world, not this one," answered Tai.

"And that makes her different from the rest of the people here," said Matt.

"Who side are you on anyway?" Asked Tai.

"Nobody's except the truth," answered Matt.

"The truth is?" Asked Tai.

"The truth is that we don't know a hell of a lot about either of these two peoples and by all accounts we shouldn't be doing these things for these two people," answered Matt.

"Be we are, the reasons why we are doing this is because they are human and we are human, because of that we care about these people. That is the reason why I am going to after her to back her up just in case she get into trouble," said Tai.

After that the Digidestined that held the Crest of Courage turned in the direction of his Digimon, Agumon that was the baby T-Rex like Digimon.

"Agumon, are you ready?" Asked Tai.

"Yes I am," answered the Rookie Level Digimon.

After that the Digimon walked up to where the window was located at and then the little Digimon jumped out of the window. Seeing that Tai brought out his Digivice and seconds after that his Digivice glowed with the orange light.

Up in the air the light from the Digivoling process in full with the Rookie Level Digimon. "Agumon Digivole to…" he started.

"…Greymon," ended Greymon. Seconds after that a huge T-Rex-like Digimon appeared out of the light. Then the Dinosaur Digimon landed with a loud crashing sound on the streets of the city and to show his impact there were cracks on the street when Greymon's two huge feet had landed.

"Tai, are you ready?" Asked Greymon.

"Yup," said Tai. After that Tai jumped from the balcony and found himself in the hands of his Digimon and then Greymon put Tai on his back. With that the two of them run off in the direction where they thought that Marry and Griffinmon had went off in. While Greymon was doing that the sound of him running on the ground was heard through the city.

"Typical Tai fashion," said Matt. "Because of that rushing in fashion of his, he is going to get noticed by everybody."

"And the means he is going to need backup for himself, because of that it means that we are going to need to go out to help him, so he dose not get himself kill," said Matt.

Davis and nodded their head in agreement at what Matt had just said about Tai. "You are right about that," said Ken.

"Okay, let's go," said Davis.

"Right," said Veemon.

"I'm willing to go for it," said Wormmon.

"Okay, let's go," said Davis.

With that the team of Davis, Veemon, Ken, Wormmon, Matt, and Gabumon walked up where the open glass doors were. With that all of them walked on to the open-air balcony and with that they could see the skies of this world were a litter brighter than normal for this place. Even with that it still wasn't as bright as their world was, there were no blue skies in this place and while they were get used to seeing that sky like that, it still didn't mean that they had to like it, for they didn't like it.

With that Veemon and Wormmon Digivoled to their Champion Levels which were ExVeemon and Stingmon and after that Ken got on the back of Stingmon. While Davis got on the back of ExVeemon and that went the same for Matt and Gabumon.

"Good luck, guys," said Kari.

Beck found himself once again in an unknown place, but this time he wasn't sitting on the ground with his banket wrapped around him so that he could kept his body warm despite the chill that was in the air. This time he found himself laying on a bed that was inside of a room that look like a hospital room with it cold and bare walls. Beck wanted to know where he was at and where was that woman that look like an angel to him.

He managed to get up from the bed and found out that his body protested at his action by giving him pain that feel like it was all over his body. The pain felt like he was on fire.

"Hey, you are up," said a person that was olive in color and the person had huge almond shape eyes. The colors of his eyes were brown in color.

"Yes I am, you got a problem with that," said Beck.

"No, I don't have a problem with that, Nancy is going to like this," said the person.

Nancy is that her name wondered Beck. Is that the name of my Angel of Mercy?

"Nancy…" started Beck.

"Don't, try to get up, you have been through a lot and it wasn't for her watchful eye, plus are quick action you wouldn't be around to talk about what just happen to you," said the person.

"Who are you?" Asked Beck.

"Oh, I am Shilja Vinci, but most people called me by my last name of Vinci," said Vinci.

"Are you the one that heal me?" Asked Beck.

"No, not really, I help with the cleaning up your wounds, you were very lucky that cuts were the only thing that you have," said Vinci. "I would like to know who you are? Do you reminder anything about yourself?"

"No, and like I said before the only thing that I reminder is that I was involved in some type of major battle and I don't know what that battle was all about, all I know was that it was huge. If I knew more I would tell you more," said Beck.

Vinci listen to the voice of this person and he could tell this person was pure on his feelings about this. Vinci was sure that whoever this person was he clearly didn't know who he was and that went the same for whatever happen to him that cause him to forget who was and the events that surrounded the lose of his memories of who he was. He knew this through his many years of being in this place, he could tell when a person was lying about who they were and once in a while a person from the Paradigm Group would come into this place to spy on what they were doing down here.

"All right then, we will have to give a name," started Vinci. He paused to think of a name that would best suit this guy that had wondered into this place and then he thought of a perfect name that would best suit this guy. "Okay, your name will be Wayne."

Beck nodded his head at that and it was good to have a name right now to have some type of identity so that a person would be able to call out for him. It was nice to have something like that in this place.

"Thank you, Vinci," said Beck.

Vinci nodded his head at that and could hear the sweet innocence that was inside of his voice and seconds after that another person can onto the scene. The person whispered into his ear and because of that Beck couldn't understand what that person was talking about, but he could tell was whatever the person what saying it was important for him. Vinci nodded his head at what the person had just said to him and after that the other person walked away from Vinci.

"Okay, Nancy has something to show you, now if you are up to it would you like to see it," said Vinci.

Beck got up from the bed and fought through the shape fiery pain that was through his body. He walked in the direction of where Vinci was located.

"Good," said Vinci.

With that the two of them together where Nancy was located at. They walked through the hospital-like room until they reached the place where Beck had first saw Nancy, the underground room that look like it belong to a train-like station. In the center of it was Nancy standing there waiting for them to enter into that place.

"Ah, you made it," said Nancy.

"Yes I did," said Beck.

"Yes, he did and I have gave him a name, I give him the name of Wayne," said Vinci.

"Great, Vinci I don't have any need for you now, me and Wayne will do this alone," said Nancy.

Vinci nodded his head at that and after that Vinci walked away from the two of them. After that Nancy lead the way that would be taken them into a dark place and while Beck was a little uneasy being in a place like this, he knew that he had somebody with him right now. Knowing that the uneasy feeling was something that he could at least control and not be ruled by the feeling of his.

The two of them started to walked into the place and Nancy lead the way into this dark place that Nancy was cutting through, through the used of a huge flood-like flashlight that gave a off a huge ball of light that let up the room about two meters ahead of them. The huge amount of light help the two of them navigated through the ruff surroundings that were ahead of them, Beck could see the place was cover with a fine almost gray dust and with that Beck could smell something that made him a little sick. It was almost like a rustic smell and a smell that Beck knew it wouldn't soon forget.

"What is that?" Asked Beck.

"I really don't know what that smell is, most of the people that do come here say it smell like something is dying in here or is already dead and it just decomposing. What I do know was that this place was once was a center of business and was once consider a symbol for this city before The Event," answered Nancy.

As the two of them continue to walk through the area and the rustic smell was lessen, but it was still there, but it was bearable for him to handle. The fine dust that was on the floor got heavier until he saw what look like to be pieces of a building that look like to be a part of a cross hatch pattern. These pieces got bigger and bigger so much that the two of them had to walk over them and the pieces reach their peck as a huge pile of these pieces turned into a mountain that the two of them had to climb if they wanted to get on the other side of the mountain of debris. They did and they found out that the other side of the mountain wasn't like the other side, there was no dust and no pieces of debris, it was clear.

Beck shined his flashlight in the direction of the hallway and when he did he noticed that the wall of this place look like that they were fairly new. The hallway terminated at what look like to be a pair of doors and Beck assume that this was the place that she wanted him to see. He found out that he was right, for Nancy was heading into the direction of the pair of doors.

"Is this what you wanted me to see?" Asked Beck.

"No, this is just outside, what I wanted you to see is what inside of pair of these doors," answered Nancy.

After that Nancy headed where the two doors were and after that she pull out a key that unlocked the doors. With that Nancy open up the doors and when she did the two of them were bathed in a brilliant but yet slow yellow glow of light almost like it was light that came from a lighten candle. After adjusting his eyes to light he could see in the center of the light there was a huge sliver color broad sword. Beck walked closer to the sword and when he did that, Nancy paid close attention to what he was doing.

"Wayne, but careful, there is a limit that you can go before you are stop unless you are the person that is meant to wheel it," said Nancy.

"What do you mean by that?" Asked Beck.

"I should start from the being, this place was once own by father who had money and influenced in the Group, was about to tear down the buildings and this underground system, but he was stop from doing it, when a man that called himself Micheal told him not do this to kept it as is. After that the man gives him this sword and told him to put in this place, the deepest place of this city despite his fears of going underground. My father listened to Micheal and went to this place, he had no fear of going underground and with that he put this sword in this place. After that he went out here and a hour later he tried to go underground again, he found out that he couldn't do it, he was scared doing it. Even with that he kept the land and later he turned into a place of helping and healing for the people that didn't have the best. Then my father died under some strange reasons, but despite that he give me his money and this place to continue what he started, plus to guard that sword until the point where the person that was chosen to wheel it would come to take what is rightly theirs," answered Nancy.

"Who is that person?" Asked Beck.

"I really don't know, but my father told me what this person Micheal told him, 'The sword will be wheeled by the person that has been restore to their full being and the blood of the three'," answered Nancy.

"What dose that mean?" Asked Beck.

"I really don't know," answered Nancy.

Beck took a closer look at the sword and noticed that there were four symbols that were inscribed on the blade that were close to the handle of the sword. Beck could see that each symbol was different from each other and none of the symbols were symbols that he had seen before. One of them was what look like to a flame with a small star in the center of the flame, but Beck had no clue that was the symbol of Order, another one was what look like a ball with a cape-like thing under it, that was the symbol of Hope, on top of that was yet another one that was in a sun-burst pattern, that was the symbol of Light, and on top of that was the last symbol that was inscribed on that sword. Beck look at the symbol to see he could recognized the symbol that a double circle that encased a star that was pointed upward toward the sky and around the double circles there were four triangles each one pointed in each direction on a compass.

"I don't recognized these symbols do you?" Asked Beck.

"Nope, but they must be important, for it they won't than they won't be on the sword," said Nancy.

Beck tried to reach for the sword and found out that his hand was in gulf in pain the same type of fiery pain that he felt when he tried to get up from the bed.

"Ouch!" Cried Beck.

"I see that you won't chosen to wheel that sword," said Nancy.

After that Nancy shut the door on the sword and after that the two of them returned back to the central corridor of this place.

Marry had made her way to what look like to be the HQ of the police force of this city and she could tell that was two stories building.

Well that normal thought Marry. Only thing that look normal in this place.

"Griffinmon, you stay out here and please kept away from the people here," said Marry.

Griffinmon nodded her head at that and after that Griffinmon made her way to hide in the shadows of this place so that nobody would be able to see her. With that Marry made her way inside of the building and while she was doing that she felt sick to her stomach almost like she was going to throw up. She knew that this had to be done and she walked she noticed a lot of people that were coming and going in this place, none of noticed her. She didn't know the reason why, but she had her own reasons why nobody noticed her, one of them was the fact that she was a 25 woman and it look like that a woman that was 25 years old walking into this place wasn't uncommon in this place. That was good for her.

She walked to where the main desk was located in this place and noticed one of the officers was waiting them.

"Can I help you, ma'am?" Asked the young officer.

It now or never thought Marry.

"I would like to speak to a one Major Dastun," answered Marry.

Outside the group of four Digimon and Digidestined way their way through the twisting and turning streets of this city that seem to be frozen in time. As they way their way to where Marry and Griffinmon were located at, they had no clue that they were bearing watched by two people. One of them was Alex from his office at the Paradigm City and the other was Schwarzwald that was inside of his Megadeus, Big Duo that was hovering just above the cloud line of this city.

"Now it time, for pay back," said Schwarzwald and after that he made Big Duo head toward their direction.

* * *

It took a couple of words and bluffing on Marry's put to see Major Dan Dastun but she did get a meeting with the Major.

"YOU! What the hell are you doing here!" Demanded Dastun.

"I here to ask you a question," answered Marry.

"What is it?" Asked Dastun.

Marry was about to ask her question and before she was about to do it a huge explosion was heard. The explosion rocked police HQ and seconds after that a furry of alarms were heard through the city. Outside Griffinmon that was still in the shadows moved her head in the direction of where the explosion took place to see what was going on. She couldn't see anything and she wasn't the only other one that took a look to see what was going on. Marry and Dastun did the same thing.

"What the hell?!" Asked Marry.

Seconds after that the door to Dastun's office flew open and out of the door there was an officer standing there catching his breathe. "Sir, there has been an explosion near East Dome Number Seven!"

"Who did it!" Ordered Dastun.

"Sir, you wouldn't believe it, but it was caused by that Red Megadeus, Sir it back!" Yelled the officer.

"WHAT!?" Demanded Dastun.

There is are more thought Marry.

"You stay here," said Dastun and seconds after that Dastun flew out of his office without evening looking at Marry.

"I have no intentions of staying here," said Marry.

A series of missiles shot out of the chest of the Megadeus were shot at the Digimon and their Digidestined and the only thing that they all could do was the get out of the way from the attack. That meant that Digimon couldn't Digivolve to their other levels in time and that meant that they would have to attack that thing at their present levels despite the fact that they were hopeless out number by that thing there.

"V X-Laser!" Yelled ExVeemon and he shout out a yellow x shape beam out of his chest.

"Nova Blast!" Yelled Greymon and then he fired a huge fireball out of his mouth.

"Howling Blaster!" Yelled Garurumon and seconds after that a huge blue beam of energy was shot out of the mouth of the wolf-like Digimon.

Each attack hit their marks with ExVeemon's V X-Laser attack the first attack to reach the Megadeus. His attack did little to nothing to the Megadeus. Next was Greymon's Nova Blast Attack and with ExVeemon's attack it did nothing to the Megadeus. The last attack was Garurumon attack and like the others it did nothing to the Megadeus.

"I sick of this, it time to paid," said Schwarzwald.

Seconds after that each Digimon was hit with Big Duo's twin eye beam attack. ExVeemon fell down to the ground after being hit by the attack and when he did he Devolved back to just plain Veemon. The next was Greymon that also fell to the ground and did the same, this went the same for Stingmon and Garurumon.

"Greymon!" Cried Tai.

"Garurumon!" Yelled Matt.

"Veemon!" Shouted Davis.

"Oh Wormmon!" Cried Ken.

With that all of the four Digidestined went to their Digimon that were now at their Rookie Level right now. They all took a look at them to see if they were all right from that attack.

"Are you guys all right?" Asked Tai.

Agumon managed to lift his head up and when he did that he saw Tai, then he saw Big Duo coming in their direction. Unlike the first time when they fought with this Megadeus that could fly, it had its wing out and flying toward their direction.

"Tai, watch out!" Cried Agumon.

Tai saw what he was talking about because the legs of the Megadeus open up to reveal two huge missiles that were pointed in their direction. Seconds after that the two huge missiles were launch in their direction and the only thing that Tai and the others could do was to watch in horror as the pair of missiles can toward them. Because of that Tai closed his eyes so that he wouldn't be able to see the weapon come to him and in a matter of seconds he knew that he would be gone. Then it didn't happen and because of that he saw that somebody had grade the missiles with their tail.

After that the two missiles were through across the sky and the two of them landed on the side of one of the domes that caused a huge explosion that produced a blinding white light.

[Author Note: Sure Promise is the background music]

Out of the light came a shadowy figure with a familiar outline and the figure can out of the light and when it did it relived who it was. It was Metal Nivernmon and Marry was on the back of her Digimon, piloting the Digimon through the used of the strips that were located on the back of the dragon-type Digimon.

After that Marry and Metal Nivernmon flew past Big Duo, when the two of them did that Metal Nivernmon's spiked tail scrape across the armor of the Megadeus. When Metal Nivernmon did that Big Duo's armor was scrape and what was left was a huge line that went across the armor of the Megadeus.

"What? Who are you?" Asked Schwarzwald as he watched the sliver color dragon-like creature flew pass him. He had never seen anything like that before, but as soon as Schwarzwald saw the creature, the creature disappeared into the dark shadows. Even in the cover of the shadows, Schwarzwald could see that it had turned around and faced his direction and in the dark, the only thing that he could see clearly was the two gleaning eyes that glowed yellow.

After that Marry took a good long look at the new fighter and when she did that, she knew for a fact that was a Megadeus. She also guesses that belong to same class of Megadeuses that Big O was apart of. With that thought across her mind she knew that she had a good fight on her hands right now, because it look like this Megadeus whomever name was went for air attacks just like Metal Nivernmon was.

"Okay, Nivernmon let's go for it," said Marry.

Metal Nivernmon roared in agreement and after that Metal Nivernmon flapped her wings to make her moved through the skies of this world. The sound of her wings flapping in the air made everybody look up at what the two of them were doing.

"Mega Ram!" Yelled Metal Nivernmon and seconds after that the head armor glowed red and after that Metal Nivernmon went toward the red Megadeus with her huge metal armor head. While she was doing that Metal Nivernmon's wings locked themselves into position to increase her speed.

Schwarzwald saw the huge sliver dragon come in his direction and he tried to get out of the way of the Mega Level Digimon, but Metal Nivernmon in her dragon mode was to fast for the flight base Megadeus. Because of that Metal Nivernmon made contact with shoulder section of the Megadeus. In doing that some of the armor that was on Big Duo started to crack from the extreme force that Metal Nivernmon had put on the Megadeus.

After that Marry made Metal Nivernmon moved away from the red Megadeus.

"Marry, the armor on that Megadeus is different from Big O's," said Metal Nivernmon.

"How?" Asked Marry.

"It's lighter than Big O's," answered Metal Nivernmon.

Marry turned her attention back to the Red Megadeus and when she did she did a little bit of a half smile on her face. With that she knew what she had to do.

"Okay, Metal Nivernmon it time," said Marry.

"All right," said Metal Nivernmon.

"Metal Nivernmon mode change to…" started Metal Nivernmon.

"Fighter Mode," ended Metal Nivernmon Fighter Mode.

Seconds after that a huge dragon man-like Digimon appeared out of the light and Marry was on the back of the huge Digimon.

"WHAT!" Cried Schwarzwald. "How did it do that?" Seconds after that the sock value was gone. "So you think that a new change of clothes is going to defeat me?"

After that Schwarzwald made Big Duo changed it form, from the flight mode were it had wings that were attached to the arms of the Megadeus. In doing that he freed up the arms of the Megadeus, but it was still up in the air because of the two jet-like engines that were located in the back of the legs of the Megadeus.

"Cute," said Marry. "But that still won't stop me. Right?"

"Right," answered Metal Nivernmon Fighter Mode.

"Striking Sword!" Yelled Metal Nivernmon and seconds after that Metal Nivernmon brought out a huge broad sword that was located on her right arm. With that Metal Nivernmon went toward the Red Megadeus with the sword up in the air.

The two of them were stop by Big Duo when it fired a series of missiles at the two of them and the only thing that Metal Nivernmon could do was to bring out her metal spike that was located on her left arm to block the missiles attack with her sword in a x style pattern. The spike and the sword were across her face and even with that Marry could tell that the constant pounding from the Megadeus was taking it toll on the Mega-Level Digimon. She see that cracks were starting to form in the spike and the sword just like what happen when Big O constantly attack the Digimon with his punches.

"Marry I can't kept this up," said Metal Nivernmon Fighter Mode.

"I know, but what can you do," said Marry.

"Change me into Battle Mode," said Metal Nivernmon Fighter Mode.

"I can't, I don't have the Digi Jewel that is over at Roger's house and is protecting him from that virus that is still in him," said Marry.

"Just great," said Metal Nivernmon Fighter Mode. "How I am going to get out of this?"

Seeing that Schwarzwald started to laughed at their suffering. He also could see that the defenses that this creature had put up were staring to fail the two of them and he knew that only a matter of time before they would be completely gone and when that happen, he knew that he would be able to destroyed the two of them. After that he knew he would be able to take down the rest of the other children and their creatures.

Then it happens both Metal Nivernmon Fighter Mode's sword and spike fail her, in doing so both of them broke. The broken spike and sword fall down to the ground, in doing that everybody knew that it was show time for them all. In seeing that Metal Nivernmon Fighter Mode was about to used one of her other attacks against the Red Megadeus and because of that she primed herself to fired her Giga Beam Attack at the Megadeus. Before she could do that the Megadeus fired a twin set of eye beams at the Digimon. The energy beam attacks him Metal Nivernmon right in the chest and the hot plasma base attack burned the sliver armor that had covered the chest of the Digimon.

"Metal Nivernmon, are you all right?" Asked Marry.

"No, I am not," struggled Metal Nivernmon Fighter Mode. Hearing that Marry took a look at her Digimon and she could tell that whatever this Megadeus was doing to her Digimon it was hurting her Digimon. With that Marry knew for a fact that if this Megadeus kept this up, her Digimon would lose all of her energy and go back to her Rookie or even her In-Training Level.

"Stop it!" Cried Marry.

The Megadeus didn't listen to her cries, it still continue to fired on the chest with its twin set of energy beams that were ripping through Metal Nivernmon's sliver armor. Two seconds after that Metal Nivernmon's armor was pieced and reached the true skin of her Digimon. In doing that Metal Nivernmon cried out in pain and with that the Megadeus stop firing its set of eye beams at the Digimon.

"Marry, I am losing it," said Metal Nivernmon Fighter Mode and with other orders from Marry, Metal Nivernmon Fighter Mode tried to get away from the battle zone. She did, but only a couple of seconds after that Metal Nivernmon Fighter Mode lost all of her energy and because of that Dragon-man type Digimon fall down into the river with Marry on back of the Digimon.

[Arthur Note: The Background music is over with]

While that was going on the rest of the other Digidestined watched in horror as saw one of their own go down like that. Then they saw the two of them had reached the river and they saw a huge crest of water and with the two of them knew that two of them had touched down in the water. Despite that they could see that the other Megadeus was coming back to finish the job that it had started with them.

"We have to get out of here," said Davis.

"I have to agree with that," said Ken.

With that everybody tried to get out of the way of that flying Megadeus, but even with that they couldn't get out of the way of the thing.

"Let's end this," said Schwarzwald. After that he locked on the Digimon and their human partners. He wanted to make sure that he got these people and after he heard the sound of the computer making a lock on them he was ready to fire at them. He was stopped when the on board computer told him about incoming fire.

He looked in the direction and saw that somebody had fired some type of missile at him. He tried to get away from the missile, but the missile was a heat-seeking missile and it had locked on the heat that was coming from his Megadeus's engines. Two seconds after he saw the missile come in his direction the engine of his Megadeus was hit by the missile and it cause an explosion that ripped through the armor that was located on the engine. Even with that it still wasn't enough to destroy the engine, but it was enough to cause him trouble, just in enough so he couldn't continue on mission. So he was forced to retreat back into the sky.

"Thank God," said Ken.

"God, had nothing to deal with it," said a voice.

Ken, Davis, Tai, and Matt turned in the direction of where the force came from and they saw that it as Major Dan Dastun that had spoken to them about what happen. Behind him they saw a huge machine that look like that it was some type of missile launcher that was still smoking a clear sign of it being used against that flying Megadeus.

"Thank you very much," said Matt.

"You are welcome, are you guys all right?" Asked Dastun.

"We are, but Marry and her Digimon aren't. She took on that Megadeus and paid the price for it, because she was knocked into that river and I don't know if she had survived the impact," answered Matt. After that Matt pointed in the direction where he thought both Marry and Metal Nivernmon Fighter Mode had landed into the water.

Dastun took a look in the direction and understood his worry about Marry and her Digimon. That river that was called the "Hudson" was the place were many people had jumped toward their depth and was a place where serial killers would place their victims in when they were done with them. When that happen it would be virtually impossible for them to recovered the bodies of the victims.

"I send my best team to look for her, I swear that I will do everything that is in my power to find her," said Dastun.

Matt nodded his head at and without any word from Dastun, his men knew what he was talking about. In a matter of seconds Dastun was off with his men to go and look for Marry and her Digimon.

Alex was very happy at what just happen, he just saw one of his enemies' falls at the hands of somebody that he thought was a pain to him.

"That take care of one of them," said Alex.

"Don't be so cocky, the Digidestined have the strange ably to come back from extremely impossible odds," said Daemon.

Alex just look at the Demon-type Digimon and he thoughts are killing this Digimon, but on a second thought he figure out that it wasn't wroth his effort to do something like that. So he went back to watching what was going on in his city and he could see what Dastun was doing. He was organizing a search party to find the two of them, but he knew that it was almost impossible to fine her in that river without the right equipment and the right equipment was gear that was meant to go underwater. Since nobody on the police force had something like he knew that if she was underwater they wouldn't fine her.

But unknown to neither Dastun nor Alex, Marry had survived her drive into the Hudson River, but it wasn't by her own hand. It was Nivernmon that had managed to fine enough energy inside of her body to move Marry's face out of the water and after that she had put her head on a floating piece of wood. Nivernmon didn't know if she was going to make it, but she knew for sure that she wouldn't die because of drowning. Making sure that she was safe from a watery grave, Nivernmon summoned up all of her strength to fly up in the air and after that she put herself on the piece of wood. With that the two of them floated in the direction of current of the river would take them and none of them knew were it was going to take them. While Nivernmon felt the urge to take a nap while on the trip, she knew better and fought her body and stay awake through the trip. In doing that Nivernmon saw the different scenery, how it first started with the tall buildings with the gray skies that was the city of Paradigm and how it slightly changed from the urban jungle that was a city to a rural, almost country setting place. This place had a completely different sky, it was blue with mostly clouding skies, but despite that the sun's rays shine through in this place. Nivernmon wanted to know why, why was this place different from the city and that had to wait because she had lost the battle with her body, she had fell a sleep on the piece of wood.

In doing that, Nivernmon hit Marry's head and that caused her to wake up and doing that Marry noticed many things. One of them was the status of Nivernmon, she saw that she was out cold and to make sure if there wasn't anything wrong with her, she check her. She found out that Nivernmon was all right, there was nothing wrong with her that she could tell. The next thing she noticed was the scenery, it had changed from the urban landscape that was Paradigm City to this rural countryside that reminded her of Lancaster Country in Pennsylvania.

"Where I am? I am still in this world?" Asked Marry. After that she started to turn her head to find out where she was located. In doing that she found no clues where she was at and she was about to give up hope until she felt a huge hand pick her up from the back. With that Marry found herself lifted from the water and after that she saw that Nivernmon was also picked in the same fashion. Even with that Marry couldn't see who had save her from the water and if she did, her body made her go back to sleep once again.

While she was doing that, she was being brought to a small complex of farmhouses and that went the same for Nivernmon. The people that were carrying the two of them made their way to a modest white farmhouse and when they got into that room they put Marry on a bed that was inside on of the bedrooms in this house. When they did that, the linens that were on the bed got wet and with that the two people took Marry's clothes off, leaving only her bra and her panties as the only clothes that she was wearing. When they did that it showed that her body had two features on it, one was a scar that was located on the top section of her right breast and the only one was a small tattoo of a golden cross. The people ignore her female figure, for they had a job to do right now and that was to make sure that she was safe in this place.

With most of her wet clothes off her body they started to wipe off all of the extra water from her body. After that they dress her up in dry clothes that was a long shelve cotton shirt and a pair of light brown pants. With that their work was done and it was time for them to leave her alone and let herself recover from this. She did only a couple minutes after that and when she did she noticed that her clothes were different from the ones that she had started with. Seeing that she first thought that somebody here rapped her and they had changed her clothes to hide any clues of that unwanted sexual act.

"Where I am?" Asked Marry again.

"Islesberry," answered a person.

Islesberry, there is that name again thought Marry and with that she turned in the direction of where the voice had come from. When she did she saw that there was an elderly man that was in the same room that she was at and seeing that Marry jumped to conclusions about what had happen to her when she was sleeping.

"You sick son of a bitch! You rapped me!" Cried Marry.

"No, I didn't," answered the old man.

"Yes, you did, don't deny it! You changed my clothing to hid the physical signs of that act," accessed Marry.

"No, I didn't you are jumping to conclusions about what happen to you. Your clothes were changed because they were wet with river water and I didn't want you get sick or worst die in this place," answered the old man.

"If that is true, than how did I get here?" Asked Marry.

"Two of my men saw you in the river barely holding on that piece of wood, so they picked you up from the water. They brought you into this room, took off your wet clothes, and changed you into dry ones," answered the old man. "Before you charged them with the same crime that you changed with me, I assure you that these people were professionals and did nothing to you while were in that…state."

"Okay, who are you?" Asked Marry.

"I am Gordon Rosewater," answered the person.

Hearing that, Marry knew whom she was with, she was with the person that had forced certain Digimon into the things that were known as Megadeus. Seeing that Marry had no clue what to do right now, she wanted to kill that person for what he did to their poor Digimon, but she also wanted to heard his side of the story before she could pass any type of judgment on him. It was the best policy to hear both sides of a story before making any type of choice on a thing.

"So, you are the person that did that to the Digimon," said Marry.

"Yes, I did and I realized that what I did was a mistake, a mistake that had cost this place its past, present, and its future. I want to atone and be forgiving for the mistake that I had made," said Gordon.

"Are you asking me to forgive you for what you did to the Digimon, if you are, I can't, it not my place. The only ones that can do that are the Digimon that you put into that state," said Marry.

"Then can you accepted my atonement," said Gordon.

"Yes, I can accepted it, but that all depends on what it is," said Marry.

"Knowledge," answered Gordon.

"The Forbidden Fruit," said Marry.

"I see that you know your Bible," said Gordon.

"No, that really, but what I do know is that when man ate from the Tree of Knowledge he was punished from doing it, he was forced out of the Garden of Eden and thus losing immortally and paradise. Forcing the future generations to work for everything that they wanted, but that is getting away from my point, yes I do want Knowledge despite the troubles that it will cause me down the road," said Marry.

"Okay, it is about Roger's past. As you know Roger is my son's son," said Gordon.

"Yes, I do, old news, please tell me something that I don't know," said Marry.

"But that is the half of it, for you don't know everything about him. For Roger has the blood of the three species that call this place home, the humans, the Angels, and the Demons," said Gordon.

"How is that possible?" Asked Marry.

"My son, Alex is a half-human, half demon, I was fooled into making love with a Demon that had took human form. Despite that I still had Alex because it looks human and acted human, but that all changed when I told him about what I did to cause the memory lost in this place. The demon half of his being took over his mind and did nothing to changed this place, it left as is and started to move against me. He put in this farm so that I could live out my life without interfering with his plans for this place," said Gordon.

"What are his plans and what dose this have to do with Roger? He doesn't seem to be the Demon type of person, he might have a little trouble with his anger, but despite that he seem to be a nice person," asked Marry.

"Everything and Alex's plans is to rule the Digi World and your world with the same type of blackness that is in this world," answered Gordon.

Marry blinked her eyes at this and nodded her head as well.

"Getting back to my point, Alex did marry, but like me, he fell in love with a woman that was half-human, half-angel. He had a son," said Gordon.

"Let's me guess that was Roger, but what about Kari, how dose she fit in all of this? Dose she also have a demonic side to her as well?" Asked Marry.

"No, Kari is perfectly human despite her sixth sense in the order of the world and I don't know for sure how he gain access your world, but I know he did and because of that he had a child, which was Kari. Even with that, Kari's birth kept the gate that Alex somehow managed to used open despite the fact that all of the gates to this world and your world were sealed."

"Roger on the other hand is different, this is not because of demon, angel, and human origins but Alex was told before Roger was born that 'he would become a God of three forms with the sword of the four virtues of life will defeat the demon of darkest. For doing that the God will obtain the crystal brightness and restore the correct balance to a world that had lost everything'," said Gordon.

"Hearing that, Alex somehow took a part of Roger's soul of him and stuck into that Megadeus known as Big O," said Marry.

"Right, but in doing he tried to prevent that from happening, but doing it he might of started what he wanted to stop," Gordon.

"Okay, but with the deal with that virus of his, it eating Roger up alive," said Marry.

"No, it tipped the balance that inside of him toward the side of the Demon, how this is the cure," said Gordon and after that Gordon brought up a small vile of green liquid. "This will restore the balance in his system to make him return to normal."

"Thank you," said Marry and after that Marry took the vile out of his hand. "I will be going back to the city. Nivernmon."

Marry waited a couple of seconds for her Digimon to come and when she didn't show up, she got a little worry about the well-being of her Digimon.

"Where is Nivernmon?" Asked Marry.

Seconds after that Nivernmon made her appearance and by the status of her Digimon that she was all right. It looks like she was better than all right, she look like that she was in perfect health and seeing that made Marry a little curious about this.

"What did you do to Nivernmon?" Asked Marry.

"I heal her, she in the best shape that I can get her in, but I can say is that I didn't have to put a lot of work in her, you did a good job in treating her well. I am impressed at what you did," said Gordon.

"So, what dose that mean, dose it mean that I can leave this place and head back to the city?" Asked Marry.

"Yes, you can," answered Gordon.

"Thank you very much," said Marry. "Nivernmon."

"Right," said Nivernmon.

"Digiarmor energize!" Yelled Marry.

"Nivernmon Armor Digivolve to…" started Nivernmon.

"Griffinmon, the Guardian of Order," said Griffinmon.

Seconds after that Marry went on the back of the Armor-Level Digimon and while she did that Gordon open up the door for her. With that Gordon saw the two of them leave this area and head to the city that he had founded so that the people would have a central place where the people could have at least a place that was safe in the wildness.

"Good luck, Digidestined," said Gordon.

Marry and Griffinmon traveled through the air of this world, like before the environment changed from a rural country farm to the urban city that she knew was Paradigm City with the gray skies that made this place famous. While she was doing that she could see the damage that the Red Megadeus did to this place and she couldn't believe that something that powerful would cause so much damage was real. It felt like it was something out of the movie or some type of SF series and thinking about this entire thing felt like it was dream. Because of that she didn't want this to end she wanted to last as long as she could make it. Even with that thought on her mind she still knew that she had a job to do right now and that was to give this liquid to Roger to heal him from that terrible virus that was inside of him right now.

Marry found Roger's house and with that Marry told Griffinmon to go into that direction, Griffinmon did that for her. The two of them landed on balcony and after that Griffinmon devolved back to Nivernmon. With that the two of them walked into Roger's living room and unknown to them Gordon had place a piece of paper inside of the clothing that Marry was wearing right now.
"Marry, what are you doing here?" Asked Kari.

"I found the cure to Roger's problem," said Marry and after that Marry showed everybody the vile that Gordon Rosewater had given to her.

After that Kari told Norman about what was going on and with that Norman took care of everything for him. Norman had put the liquid in a needle and with that injected Roger with the liquid that Marry had found. In a matter of minutes they all could see whatever that stuff was it was working on Roger for the color was back in Roger's face despite the fact that it was white and at first glance one couldn't tell the difference. After that Roger's eyes open up and seconds after that Roger's became to have dry heaves and that told Marry that he was getting ready to throw something up.

"Get something, he going to throw something up and I think it not going to be pretty," said Marry.

With that somebody had produced a sliver tray and after that Roger had throw something up that was black. Seeing that made Kari do the same thing that Roger did and after that Roger coughed a little. With that he fell back to the couch.

"Roger, are you all right?" Asked Kari.

"I am just a little woozy, what was inside of me," answered Roger.

"Long story," answered Marry.

"I think I will have the time if you told me everything," said Roger.

With that Marry told him, but let out the information that Gordon had told her about Roger.
