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, it labor of love. Now I own Mary Sanderous, Nivernmon, Aggymon Griffinmon, 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.

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?

Marry continues her sure for the Sword of Virtues throughout the city without the permission of the other. While that is going on Alex and Daemon uses the data from Dilophomon to open up a gateway between the Digidestined World and the world of Paradigm City. Part 1 of 2.

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.

Chapter 18 – The Gateway between Two Worlds Part 1- The Die is Cast

Marry Sanderous was riding on the back of Griffinmon, her Armor-Level Digimon and she was talking a look through the cityscape of this city that seem to be familiar to her, despite the domes that seem to dominate skyline of this place. If she could just picture the skyline of the city without them it would be easier for her to try and recognized this place. She knew that somehow this city had to been built on the ruins of another city, but what was the run city that this place was built on. That was something that was bothering her every since she went into this world. She had the strange felling of déjà vu when she saw this place, which she had been here before, but when or where? That was a question that she wanted to have answer, but she knew that had to be put on the back burner right now. This was because she had something to do right now, she had to go and look for that Sword that this "Angel" person was talking about. She didn't have the time to wait for the others.

"Do you have any clue what this 'Angel' person was talking about?" Asked Marry.

"No, I don't, but I do have a suggestion," answered Griffinmon.

"Yeah, what is it?" Asked Marry.

"I think we should go and visit the rest of the other Digidestined and their Digimon. I think that in the mist of the troubles everybody forgot about then," answered Griffinmon.

"I think you are right now about that I would like to know how they are fairing being in this world for so long," said Marry. With that Marry slightly tugged on one of the armor frills that were on the back of the Digimon and with that Griffinmon understood what that meant. She had to go into that direction and she did.

While Griffinmon was talking her to the hotel where Roger had set them up in, Marry took a look at the battle damage that was caused when her Digimon and Roger's Megadeus fought each other. She could see that the damage was something like path of destruction that a tornado would take. Seeing that Marry couldn't believe that anybody could survive the destruction that was down there, but she could see that some of the EMS personal were taking people out of the rubble and seeing that it made Marry happy. Unlike the destruction that she saw on Sept 11 where the EMS personal that went through the rubble and recovered nobody out of that wreck. Thinking about that, she wondered what was going on in her home city of New York City.

"That is nice to see that people somehow managed to find a way to survive that attack that was partially my fault," said Marry.

"Marry, don't beat yourself up about that, you had to do it," said Griffinmon.

"I know, but that dose not make it any easier for me to take," said Marry. "You know me, I don't like to fight when there are people in the way of the fight, I don't mind taking out a Digimon if the Digimon is evil or threaten another living being."

Griffinmon nodded her head at that. You have a good soul, Marry despite the harsh world in which you live in though Griffinmon. Griffinmon knew about this world and this was because she lived with her when she was Nivernmon. She saw all of the hardships that she had to face and she could tell despite the series of bad luck that she went through, she never once lost her sense of mortals. That didn't mean that Marry would lose hope, she did numerous of time and a clear sign of that was some days she would in her bed crying over how things that she played never went the way that she wanted to go.

"Marry, we are here," said Griffinmon.

Marry looked and could see that her Armor-Level Digimon was right. With that Griffinmon floated down to street level and Marry was about to disembark from the back of the Digimon.

"Marry, don't, look," said Griffinmon.

Marry did what she wanted her do and she saw what Griffinmon was talking about. She saw that there was a huge black van that was located in the parking lot of the hotel and while that did caught her attention, it wasn't that unusual for this world. It was the other thing that she saw that caught her attention and made her a little worry about what was going on. She saw that there was a group of people that were in the office and they were talking to the front desk clerk.

Marry tried to read the lips of the people and he found out that it was a lot harder to do than she first thought it was.

"Man, the movies make it look so easy," said Marry.

Griffinmon didn't say anything to that; this was because she was intense with the dealings that were going around her. It was this intensely that she had that alerted her of something that was afoul with the surroundings. The first clue that Griffinmon got was through a smell that was in the air and when she smell it, she tensed up. A clear sign of this was the fact that Griffinmon was growing and bearing her teeth at it.

"Griffinmon, what is it?" Asked Marry. "I never seen you like this before."

"You are correct on saying that you never seen me like this before, and there is a good reason behind that. That reason is that you have seen me react to something like this before," answered Griffinmon.

"What is it?" Asked Marry.

"There is something out there that is like a Digimon, but at the same time it isn't a Digimon, it has the feeling of one, but there is something missing from it," answered Griffinmon.

Hearing that a furry of thoughts of why is this going on and with that she wondered if the other Digidestineds' Digimon were acting like this as well. Marry was about to ask that question to Griffinmon knowing that she didn't have the straight answer to that question, but she was stop from asking that question. That was because Griffinmon loosen up from her tense poster to a more normal one.

"It's gone," answered Griffinmon.

"That thing is gone, what happen to it?" Asked Marry. Boy do I sound dumb asking that question thought Marry.

"Yes, I don't know what happen to it, it just gone, just like that," said Griffinmon. "It was so strange, like it was calling to me to come to it, but inside of me I knew without a doubt in my mind that if I went to it, it would have been atrocious for the two of us."

"Thank God, I didn't fell it like you did, it sounds so vile," said Marry.

"My thoughts exactly," said Griffinmon. "But I do think we should see the other Digidestined."

"I don't think so," said another voice.

The two of them turned around and saw that the people that they saw in the hotel office were right behind the two of them. It looks like that they were going to hit the two of them over the head with some type of club. Marry react to the sight by giving the closet person a sweep kick and Griffinmon reacted by taking to the air with her speed.

"Marry look out," said Griffinmon.

Marry look up and could see that Griffinmon was about to use one of her attacks on the lone man. Seeing that Marry got out of the way as quickly as possible.

"Ice Blast!" Yelled Griffinmon. Seconds after that the leg armor of Griffinmon glowed blue and then two ice balls were shot out of the armor. The ice-based attack didn't hit the person directly, the ice attack hit the person toward his feet and because of that the man was stuck the ground unable to move from the spot.

"Micheal, get her," he shouted.

The man that was called Micheal got off from the ground and ran toward Marry. Thinking that surprise would be an ally in this fight he hope to caught Marry off balance from running toward her, but he was wrong. This was because Marry was ready for the attack and showed it by taking hold of one of his arms and used his own weight against him thrown him. Micheal landed near a trash can and doing that caused the trash can to tip over and spill all of the trash all over him.

Seeing that and knowing that was embarrassing to have happen to oneself Marry started to laugh at his own shame. Griffinmon did the same.

"I won't stand for this, to be laugh at by a simple child and her pet Digimon," said the man that was stuck the ground.

"Ah, excess me, I not a child, I am 25 years old and my 'pet' Digimon just kick your ass," said Marry.

"Dose not matter for Mr. Rosewater is going to open a Gateway to your world through the use of the data from the Mega Level Digimon that he caught," said the person.

Hearing that Marry and Griffinmon reacted two different ways to this news. For Marry it was a mixture of sock and anger toward Rosewater for doing this. She didn't want to have happen in this world have happen in her world, plus things were already mess up with the attack in New York City on Sept 11, they didn't need a person like him to screw it up even more. For Griffinmon it was totally different, this confirmation that she needed for the feelings that she had earlier. That the feelings that she had were caused by the used of data that came from a Digimon.

"What are you saying!? That Alex is going to use the data from a Digimon to open up a gate to my world? For what purpose and why?" Demanded Marry.

"Yes, what do you think," the person said with a little bit of cockiness in his voice. That told Marry that just guy thought that there was nothing that the two of them could do to stop this from happening. With that Marry knew what she had to do, she had to take him to back to Roger's house and let him deal with this guy and the attitude that he was giving to her right now. While Marry didn't know the full effects that the merge with Big O had on Roger, but she had funny feelings that it would give Roger some extra ably that would be best describe as ESP. That would allow him to extract the information about of the person willing or not, right now she didn't care about the morals behind the action that she was about to take right now. That was something that she would have to deal when this was all over with, because right now her world was in danger.

"That's it, Griffinmon, free him up, we are going to take him 'Around the Block'," said Marry.

Hearing that Griffinmon knew what she was talking about and hearing that Griffinmon knew what to do.

"River of Fire!" Yelled Griffinmon. Seconds after naming out of her attack a stream of fire was shout of the mouth of the Armor Level Digimon and like before, Griffinmon aimed her attack at the feet of the person. The fire caused the ice that was on his shoes to melt.

After that Griffinmon moved around and picked up Marry. Then the two of them made a second pass around him and that was when Marry picked up the person. Up in the air, Marry twisted her body around to face the person.

"You don't scare me," said the person.

"You are right, I don't scare people, but I know somebody that will scare you," said Marry.

"Who?" Asked the person.

"A little friend," said Marry.

Hearing that the person knew what he had to do, he couldn't allow this person to know what he knew. So he pulls out a little pill and then he put the thing into his mouth. After that he bit down on the pill and it was that sound that caught Marry attention, because she knew what it was, a poison pills. She guess that it was cyanide pill and before Marry could get the thing out of his mouth the effects of the poison were in effect. She saw how the poison made him go into convolutions and a couple of seconds after that she watches as the life in this person went out like a light.

Marry just shook her head at that and she knew that there was nothing that she could do for him, but the other person she still had a change with him. With that the two of them went into the direction of where Micheal was located at and Micheal was trying to get up from being thrown into the trash can. He could see the two of them heading into their direction and he couldn't get out of the way of the two of them. Marry picked him up and unlike before Marry didn't speak to him while he was on the back of her Digimon. Marry learned her lesson about too much talking about something.

"Where are you talking me?" Micheal asked her.

Unlike before, Marry didn't say anything about this because she didn't want to have the same thing happen to this person like the person that seems to be his boss.

"I've nothing like him, while I was told if something like this did happen that I should used the pill like Sam did, but I won't kill myself. I want to live, I promise that I won't kill myself like he did," said Micheal.

Marry heard what he was saying to him, but Marry had harden herself up like a rock so nothing would get through to her emotional inside.

Maybe, Roger is right on keeping his cold and unemotional side out in the open while he is on the job thought Marry.

"I know that what I did wasn't right, but I want to make things right," said Micheal. "I know how you feel…"

Hearing that was the last straw for Marry, she hated when people said that about things and with that Marry turned in the direction of where Micheal was. "SHUT UP! I hate when people do that, 'I know how you feel', and no you don't know how I feel. You don't know how I feel about this that isn't your world that is being threatening by Alex Rosewater. Unlike your world, my world know its history and they have their memories, we haven't forgot our history even if there are moments in our history that we like to forget."

"I didn't know that," said Micheal. "I didn't know that you were so passion about protecting your world."

"You are dam right! I don't want to forget Dec. 7, 1941 or Sept. 11, 2001," said Marry.

"Huh?" Asked the confuse person. "Why are those dates so important to you?"

"The first date happen before my time, but I know about because of the lessons that I was told in history class that told me that the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor without warring. That attack destroy the US Arizona killing almost everybody on that ship and the second date happen in my life time, I saw the thing on the news, not when it happen, but I saw footage of it. Sept. 11, was the date when both the towers of the World Trade Center Towers were destroyed when two airplanes crashed into them. The Pentagon was also attack," answered Marry.

"Is that all?" He asked.

"No, it isn't, that attack killed everybody in that tall building and all of the EMS personal that ran into the first tower to save people. While they were doing that the second tower was destroyed and 11 minutes after that the first tower fell down trapping the people that were stuck in that building, killing them as well. That is considered that worst act of terrorism in the history of the United States," answered Marry.

"Oh my God, you shouldn't forget dates like that, and what happen afterward on these dates?" He asked.

"The first date, throw the United State in the Second World War and the second date, well the verdict is still out on that one. This is because when I left go into this world the United States were doing air raids on Afghanistan and because I am this world I don't know what is going on in my world," answered Marry.

"Now I see why you don't want him going into your world," said Micheal.

"You dam right," said Marry.

"I would like to join up with you in stopping him from doing this, while your world dose not seem to be prefect, at least your know your history and that is very important thing to have," said Micheal.

"You are right, but I can't be the judge on that part, you have to prove yourself and not to me," said Marry.

"Then who?" Asked Micheal.

Marry was about to said Roger, but she was stop when she saw that Griffinmon was hit by something. By the reaction that Griffinmon was having that whatever had hit her it was very painful.

"Who did that?!" Demanded Marry.

"I did," said a nasty sounding voice.

Marry looked in the direction of where she thought the voice was coming from and she saw who had said that. She found out that it was Lady Devimon, a Fall Angel-type Digimon that wore all black somewhat tight fitting outfit that should without a doubt that she was a female Digimon. With her black mask that she wore over her face hid most of her face from view with one exception, her eyes that were red. To further stress that fact that she was a Demon was the white long hair and the uneven wings that were made out of skin rather than feathers like normal Angels.

"You little bitch!" Yelled out Marry.

"Oh, did I hurt your little Digimon, I so sorry," said Lady Devimon.

"Shut up! You will paid for that," said Marry.

Without a word from Marry Griffinmon rode into action. "Griffinmon Strike!" Yelled out Griffinmon and with that she brought out her claws that were made out of the strongest metal from the Digital World. After that she scrape the face of Lady Devimon. Despite the fact that Lady Devimon was at a higher level that Griffinmon, Griffinmon still cause damage to the Digimon. The damage that Griffinmon caused to her was ripping a part of her mask, which was close to one of her eyes. The shape mark was her four claws that was a series of four scratch marks, and the scratch marks continue all way down until they reach where her mouth was at.

"My face! Look what you did to my wonderful face, you little brat," said Lady Devimon.

"I do more than just to deface you face," said Griffinmon.

"Darkness Wave!" Yelled Lady Devimon and after that she spun around to release a huge cloud of black bates toward the three of them. Seeing that Griffinmon rose up into the sky away from the attack.

"Oh is that the best you got," said Griffinmon.

Lady Devimon looked up and could see that the three of them were above her and before Lady Devimon to attack Griffinmon release another one of her attacks on the Fall Angel Type Digimon. The attack of choice was her Ice Beam Blast, which was a jet of ice that was shot out of the mouth of the Armor-Level Digimon.

The attack froze Lady Devimon in her tracks and turned the Digimon into a huge block of ice. Because of that, Lady Devimon started to fall back to earth, but before Lady Devimon would reach terra ferma, she broke out of the block of ice.

"Impressive, but that still won't save the three of your. Black Wing!" Yelled Lady Devimon and seconds after that one of her arms grew larger than the other one. With that hit Griffinmon on the side of the Digimon which cause Marry to hold on tighter on the back of her Digimon, but for Micheal he somehow lost his grip on the Digimon.

Marry saw that and reacted by gripping the wrist of the person. "Micheal, I got you."

"No you don't," said Lady Devimon.

"Black Wing!" Shouted Lady Devimon and like before her attack formed in the same way. Unlike when she attack the Digimon in the side, this time she aimed the spot where Marry was holding Micheal. Marry tried to hold her, but the strength of Lady Devimon's attack was to much for her to bear and with that Marry lost her grip on Micheal. Because of that Micheal fall from her and toward the ground.

Seeing that, the world around seem to slow down as she watch a person that was trying to repent for the sins that he had commented in his life time. He wanted to have a second chance in his life and it look like that he would of got it, but now it seem that faiths didn't want to have that second chance in his life. They wanted him to pay for his sins with his life despite the fact that they seem to be small to her. She watch in horror as Micheal reached the end of the trip and the end of the trip was the worst way that a person could to go out. Micheal was impale by an expose piece of metal and seeing that Marry turned her head in digested at what she saw.

With that Marry turned her head toward Lady Devimon with one thing on her mind, revenge at the Digimon for what she did to that person.

"You Son of a Bitch!" Yelled Marry. "I will make you paid for killing that soul. Griffinmon get that Demon and make her paid for what she did to that person. I want her out of my sky."

Griffinmon did that and the Lady Devimon reacted in their action by laughing at their efforts. Then she moved with speed that was quicker than Griffinmon could manage out of their way and then she went to ground, literally.

"Dam!" Yelled Marry. "I will make her paid for what she did." Man I heard about how these Demon and Fall Angel types could do something like this, but I thought that I would never in my entire life time would see something like this before.

"I know, but what should we do," said Griffinmon.

"We go back and check out the other Digidestined," said Marry.

"Right," said Griffinmon.

With that the two of them went into the direction of where the hotel was. Having no clue how the International Digidestined would feel when she would show up. She hope that they would welcome her, but she feared that they wouldn't welcome her with open arms and this was because how they were treated when they got into this world. They were put into a hotel and after that nobody checks up on them, basically they were left up the creek without a paddle. That was something that she didn't like happen to her when she was told that she was very important in something.

Lady Devimon returned back to the lab where Dilophomon was located and she could see that the Dinosaur-type Digimon. She saw that Dilophomon was in chains and that some of his body structure was starting to loss it structure, like it was starting to be deleted into tiny million pieces. While she didn't understand what was going on, she knew for a fact that seeing this was good for their cause, because she knew that this was the first step into getting into the human world once again.

"Ah you have return," said Daemon.

Lady Devimon nodded her head in submission toward her master. "Yes, Master."

"Have you tied up the lose threat?" Asked Daemon.

"Yes, but…" started Lady Devimon.

"But what," said Daemon. "Lift your head, let's see your face."

Lady Devimon did it and with that he could see the damage that Griffinmon did to her face with her Griffin Strike attack. He could see that the scratches that the Digimon did and he could tell that they were deep and it would take some time for them to heal.

"You see, Master, I was injured during the attack," said Lady Devimon.

"Yes, I can see, I can also see that the injury is deep. Who did this to you?" Asked Daemon.

"I Digimon called Griffinmon, she is an Armor Level Digimon and I think the Digimon belong to a Digidestined, but I never seen that Digidestined before. I though that Armor-Level Digimon didn't have the power to even touch an Ultimate-Level Digimon like myself, never the less cause and injury to me, " answered Lady Devimon.

"'Griffinmon', I think I know who that belongs to, a person called Marry Sanderous," answered Daemon. "The reason why this Armor-Level Digimon is so strong is because of the intense events that the two of them went through, cause Griffinmon to be strong."

"I never heard of her before, why is that, Master?" Asked Lady Devimon.

"That is because she had her trips in the Digital World before your time," answered Daemon. "Plus all of the evil Digimon that she meet up were killed in a way that none of their Data could reconfigured. But you don't have to worry about that, because I will make sure that she won't be in our way."

Lady Devimon nodded her head at that and after that she returned back into the shadows were the rest of her fellow Demon Corps Members were hidden away. Of course all of them asked about the injury that was located on her face and when they did, her demeanor changed from the submissive loyal member of the core to a defiance warrior that would hit anybody that even looked at her the wrong way. That what she did with the other members that asked about the cut that was on her face.

The sound of her fist hitting the face another Digimon was heard and if anybody was around there could swear that the hit would have broke the surface of the skin of the unfortunately Digimon that asked about how she got her cut. Daemon just shook his head at what he heard in the shadows. He did this because this told him that despite her act toward him she still had her vicious side and she wasn't afraid to use it even if she was in his present.

With that he moved away from her and to where the lab techs that were under the payroll of Alex Rosewater. He watched as the lab techs did their fancywork with the computers displays and while Daemon didn't understand what was on the displays. He didn't understand the results of the work that they were doing right now.

"Pretty fancy stuff," said Alex.

"Oh, yeah," stammered Daemon. He did this because he wasn't expecting the leader of this world to be in this place. He expected him to be in his office doing some paper work that required him to look at and after that put his signature on it.

"Shouldn't you be in your office running your city?" Asked Daemon.

"Nah, I have others that can do my job just as good as I can. The only time that I would leave this place is when there is a meeting that I have to go or if any of those Digidestined brats and their Digimon would appeared once again to question my rule. It seems that they have learn that they shouldn't do that," answered Alex.

"I shouldn't say that about the Digidestined, that you show worry about them when they aren't making any noise," said Daemon. That knew from watching the Digidestined from his underground lair that was safe from them.

That made Alex raise one of his eyebrows at the loaded statement that Daemon made about the Digidestined. Even with that Alex knew that any of the noise that they would make right now didn't matter. This was because it would only be a matter of time before the two of them would open up the seal gate that would connect this world and the other world, the world that the Digidestined came from. This was a world that fresh for his pickings, a world that was unaware of this place, a world that in his eyes was a world that would easy to take control over in a matter of years. He thought this despite the fact that these people did know their history unlike the people here did. It was this small fact about this place that made it so easy for him to control them like they were pieces in giant game.

"I know about that, even if they are making a plan to attack me again, it doses not matter because they will be wasting their time. If they are smart, they shouldn't be worry about me, they should worry about what I will do to their world," said Alex.

"That is true, but these people should also worry about what I will do the people in this world that will even thinking about question my rule. I will make them paid for even thinking an idea, if you reminder my deal," said Daemon.

"Yes, I know our deal, you will take control of the Digidestined's world, while I will control this world," answered Alex. While Alex didn't like this part of the deal, he had to learn to deal with it, for it he didn't have him on board with his allies he knew that he would have been stopped by the combine efforts with Roger and the Digidestined. "Then what about the Digital World, who would take control over that world?" Asked Alex.

Daemon didn't answer that question to Alex and this pecked Alex's interests about this mysterious Digimon whom Alex knew little to nothing about. With that Alex became the think about why he trust this Digimon with everything that he had plan to do with this world and the Digidestined's world. He didn't understand this and the reason why he didn't understand this, was that Daemon's master, the true evil that was threatening all three worlds, was controlling him.

"I ask you a question, who will control the Digital world when this is all over with? Now I suggest that you answer this question if you want to continue being allies," said Alex.

"We will come to that point in the road when we do," answered Daemon.

"Thank you, for answering my question," said Alex.

That was good enough for Alex for now, but that didn't mean that the question about why Daemon was so heisted about answering that question was still in the back of Alex's mind. With that the two villains continue to walk through out the lab to check up on the people to see how they were doing with their jobs.

"So, how long will this take, to completely open up that gateway between these two worlds?" Asked Alex to one of the techs.

The young tech hearing Alex's voice almost jumped out of his skin. It wasn't like everyday that one was opening up a gateway to another world with the fact that his boss was questioning him on the same day. The young tech quickly recovered by the sock value and when back to his work, he did this by keying up some information about the process. The young tech found out that information that his boss wanted.

"It will take about another two hours for us to get all of the bugs out of the program and with that there will be another hour on testing the location spotter of the program as well," answered the young tech.

Alex understood all of this, he knew that without prefect procession he could be jetted away into another world that was completely alien when compared to these worlds. The only way that one could achieve prefect procession was through trial and error. But Daemon on the other hand didn't understand this, he wanted this to be done right now with no questions about it. This type of attitude that he had was because of the troops that he commanded that did things the way that he wanted without questioning his orders.

"What are you saying that I will have to sit around in this world for another three hours?!" Demanded Daemon.

"Yes, and that is just a ruff guest, I really don't know how long we be working on this, I don't want to send the two of you to the great oblivion," said the young tech.

"You better not," said Daemon.

"As you see, if you want something like that, it takes time and the ably to wait. Something that I see you don't have a lot of," said the young tech.

Hearing that, Daemon was furious at this human that was going head to head with him without any sings of fear in his voice, which was the norm when somebody would confront him about something. This person didn't have even a trace of something like that and that was something that Daemon didn't like to see.

"Said that again, human I will make you paid with your life," said Daemon.

"If you do kill me, you won't be able to get into the Digidestined's world," answered the young tech with a bit of smug in his voice. He thought this because he clearly thought that he was the only person that had this knowledge in his head, but he was wrong, dead wrong.

"I don't think so," said Alex.

"Huh?" Asked the confuse tech. "What are you talking about?"

"I am saying that you can replaced as quickly as you type on that keyboard of yours. You are not unique; you are just a cock in a machine. You know when a part in a machine good bad?" Said Alex.

Hearing that the young tech knew what Alex, his boss, was talking about and that thing was that he could be replaced without anybody noticing that he was gone. That his spot in this great machine could be full by another person that could be either of many things, they were. This person could be better suited for this type of job, they had better talent, or maybe the new person would be a better ass kisser to him. With that the young tech knew that he better watch his mouth when he was around Daemon and so the young tech repented his actions toward the ally.

"I am sorry about that, I didn't know what I was doing. Can you forgive me," said the young tech.

Alex looked at Daemon, this was because he was the one that the young tech hand angered and by all rights he should be the one that should deal with this person. With that Daemon began to think about what he should do to this person and in a matter of seconds he had made his choice. His choice was to leave this person alone, this was because this person wasn't worth his efforts or his time. That his efforts and his time should be put on somebody or something that was truly worth all of his time and his efforts, that was the Digidestineds.

"He isn't worth it, but I suggest that you should teach this person some manners," said Daemon.

Alex nodded his head at that and with that the young tech thought that it was safe, but the young tech was wrong. This was because the nod of Alex's head was a signal to two of the guards that were located in the shadows to come and take this person away from this place. They would take him to place in this huge building complex that was the reeducation room, where employees that work under Alex Rosewater would learn the dos and don'ts of this place.

The two guards took hold of the young tech and with that the young tech knew his faith, he was going to that room. Knowing the reputation of that place, the young tech didn't want to go to that place and he protested their action, but his cries were unheard with the other people.

"Jesse, please don't let them take me away from here," said the tech.

Jesse, another employee of Alex Rosewater just looked at him for just a second and just as fast she did that, she went back to her work. Not looking back at the man that was her lover and she close her eyes at what she just did. Even with that she knew that she had to make that, if she wanted to kept her job here and to make sure that her father and her mother won't put away in a home.

With that gone Alex and Daemon continue on their tour of the lab with everybody watching their backs.

Nancy, the leader and the director of this underground safe house from the harsh world of above was making her rounds through the entire campus of this place. She could see that some of the people here were sleeping, others were eating their daily breakfast, while others were learning a new skill that Nancy and her fellow friends would think would allow them to have a normal life. Despite the fact that this city wasn't a normal city, while Nancy didn't have a hand in the political structure of this city. She knew that this place wasn't normal and that she was allow to run this place because somebody high up in the ranks of the inner circle wanted her to kept this place up. Thinking about that made her shiver at what would happen to this place, this place that was the site of some much depth would be desecrated the workers. That was something that she didn't want to have happen to this place, she felt that it should be left alone, in tact as a memorial to all of the people that were killed on that day in this city's bury past.

Right now she knew that she couldn't worry about that, because right now she had a job to do right now. That was to make sure that everybody that was using this place as temp home would get their fair share of all of the resources that were at her hands. That was something that she would have to worry about when it happen and maybe just maybe all of the people that used this place would be out of there when that event would happen. So if they wanted to destroy this place she wouldn't have to worry about the people that would be displaced when the place would be turned into something else.

"Hello," she said to a middle-aged woman that she called "Verona"

"Hello," said returned back and in doing so she told her that she had a slight exotic accent. A type of accent that Nancy couldn't put her finger on it. Despite that, it was a welcome sight for her and it also was a welcome to her.

"How are we doing Verona?" Asked Nancy.

"I am doing okay," answered Verona. "The soup is a little cold, but that can be expect, since we are in a drafty place."

"That is right, but it sadden me, that something like this happen while on my watch," said Nancy.

This made Verona smile a little bit and this was a surprise to Nancy. This was because Verona was a type of person that would never smile no matter how much kindness that Nancy would show to this woman. This told her, that Verona came from a past that was full with abuse and the abuse would come because of anything no matter what it was. That was something that Nancy didn't like, but right now, it didn't matter, because it look like that Verona was breaking down that shell that she put around her.

"Thank you, very much, you don't know how much that means to me," said Verona.

"I can understand that," said Nancy. "But I have to make my rounds to see how the rest of the other people here are doing right now. I promise that I will come back and talk to you a little."

Verona nodded her head at that and after that Nancy continues to walk through the cravenness walls of this place. Like with Verona Nancy greeted each one of them with the same attention to detail, not once cutting away from the details. It was hard and took up a lot of time for her to do it, but despite that she knew that this was the way of her father that acted like a perfect gentlemen to this people and that she do the same. Which she was doing right now.

"Nancy!" Shouted a voice.

Nancy turned around and could see that the person that was behind the voice was one of her Medtechs.

"What is it?" Asked Nancy.

"You should look at the sword," said the person.

"Why? What is it doing?" Asked Nancy.

"You should see it, I can't describe it," answered the person.

With that the two of them headed off in the direction of where the sword was located. They walked through the cave-like wall and over the debris pile and to the vault where the sword was located. When she did she found out that the two doors were open up and seeing that Nancy was a little upset seeing this, because most of the people here were told not to touch these doors without her permission. Right now that was small when compare to what was going on with that sword.

The man open up the door and when he did that, she could see what this person was talking about. She could see that the sword was different and the thing that was different from the pervious times that she had seen it, the metal of the sword had more shine to it. Seeing this, Nancy wondered how did this happen and when did it happen.

"How did this happen? When did it happen?" Asked Nancy.

"I can said about the same time when we saw more of these strange creatures and the Megadeus fight another one of those strange creatures," answered the person. "Right at the moment when that strange high pitch sound was heard through the air. What dose that mean?"

Hearing that, a muscle in Nancy's jaw jumped at that. What dose it means? Dose it mean that the true wheeler of this sword is here and that they are becoming aware of it? Wondered Nancy. With that Nancy wondered who was the wheeler of this sword.

"I don't know for sure what that means, I will have to consult my father's papers and record history of the time when the visitor that gave him that sword came to him," answered Nancy.

"What?" Asked the person.

"You know the history about this place, Jack. You know how my father was about to raze this place and build yet another building complex on this place, but he was stop by a mysterious visitor that gave him that sword and told him two things," answered Nancy.

"What are those two things?" Asked Jack.

"One that, this place shouldn't be destroyed and should be left in tact and this is because this site was the site of a horrible act. The other thing was that this sword be left here until the time when the person that it was meant to be used by finds out and comes to this place. This is the big, that person should come here of his own free will, not forced," answered Nancy.

"So what are you saying that whomever this person is, that they should come down here on their own free will?" Asked Jack.

"Yes, that what I am saying, that also goes the same with the four bearings of the symbols that are engraved on that sword as well," answered Nancy.

"Who are they?" Asked Jack.

"I don't know," answered Nancy. "I just repeating what my father engraved into my mind that if I should reminder anything, it is that. That is the reason why I must go into the books that my father wrote about this place and that visitor to see if any of his writings would be able to help me in figuring out who is this person that we are talking about."

"Okay, but I am coming with you," said Jack.

"No, you can't, for these are texts that were meant for my eyes only. I can't desecrated then, that was my father's wishes and I want to respect then," said Nancy.

"All right then, but I think that the rest of others shouldn't know about this," said Jack.

"You are right on that part," and Nancy.

With that the two of them tried to close the two heavy doors and they found out that they couldn't, some unseen force was stopping them from doing that. That was something that the two of them didn't understand, it seemed that unseen forced wanted these doors open no matter what or no matter how much they tried to close the doors, this force didn't want them to do it.

"That is strange," said Jack.

Nancy didn't said anything to that, she just left into action and Jack fellow her through the cave-like walls. The two of them went to Nancy's makeshift office and Jack could see that she had open up a black chest.

"You should go now," said Nancy.

Jack understood that and with that he left her alone in her office to read what her father had wrote about the origin of this place. When Jack left her alone in her office she open up the chest and when she did she found out that there was a series of pieces of paper that showed the sign of being in there for a long time. There slightly off color and that color was yellow but despite that, Nancy still could read the text that was written by her father. With that she began to read it and when she did she found out a lot about this place. She found out that the visitor that told her father to kept this place as is told him much more than what he had told her. One of the many that Nancy didn't know about this place was the name of this place, something that Nancy never knew until this point, and the name of this place was the World Trade Center Complex. The spot that she was standing in was the once the spot of the Twin Towers of that center and that they were destroyed in an act of terrorism that used two planes as flying bombs to destroyed the towers. That the people the were inside there had little to chance in getting out of the building when it was collapsing and to make matters worst was that the people that were paid to save these people lives were also killed when they entered into the buildings. Reading this, made Nancy sick to her stomach that another human being could even do something like that, never the less think about doing something like that. With that Nancy know understood all the way why this place shouldn't be changed, it would disgraced the memory of all of the people that died on that day. While Nancy didn't know anybody on that day in question she knew for a fact that this place shouldn't be changed no matter what and this made Nancy have the will to fight with everything that she got to kept this place as is.

After reading the first piece of paper both sides, Nancy went to the other piece of paper that Nancy guess talk about the important of the sword and who was the person that this was meant to be. She found out that the person that pilot the black Megadeus was the person that the sword was meant to be for.

"That thing is controlled by a person, just like us," said Nancy. "How can that be?

Nancy didn't get the answer to that question, but despite that she felt that she had to read on further to find out more about this place. When she did she found out more and she found out that the person that pilot the Megadeus was the person that look like the Megadeus but only human looking. That if she found that person she will also find out who the wheeler of that sword.

"How can I find that person?" Asked Nancy.

"You will know," answered another person.

Nancy turned around and found out that it was her very own father than spoke that statement to her. She found out that her father look the same as the day that he died, he had the same peaceful look on his face, that he had did what he was sent on this Earth to do and that he had lived his life that way that he wanted.

"What are you talking about?" Asked Nancy.

"I am saying that you will know without any question in your mind who that person is," he said.

"How?" Asked Nancy.

"Look at the face and the clothing of the person whom you think is the pilot of the black Megadeus," answered Nancy's father.

With that Nancy knew that she would have to the surface of this city and that was something that she hasn't gone in about two years.

"Okay, I will go back to the surface of this city," said Nancy.

With that Nancy's father nodded her head at that while Nancy took a hold of the few things that she thought would help her in her trip to the surface.

Roger that was dress in his causal clothing that included a black short shelve shirt and a pair of black jeans. Even with that Roger felt like he should walked to the huge window that was located in his bedroom and he did that. With that Roger looked out the cityscape of the city that he called home, but this time the landscape was different. This was because of the enhanced sight that he had when he had merged with Big O. The buildings, despite their colorless appearance seem to have brighter colors and it also seemed the he could see more detail to the buildings as well, it felt like the buildings seem to come alive for him. He looked up at the sky and he could see every detail of the clouds, he could see the almost small barrier that broke the clouds between each other. That was something that he had never seen before and in doing that he felt like he was alive with this new sense of awareness that he had in this world.

After that he put his hand on the glass and when he did he could feel every grain have melted sand in the glass window. It was so strange for him and yet it a wondrous feeling that he had do the fact of the enhanced sense of touch that he had right now. Yet this was another thing that he had to thank due to the merge that he had with his Megadeus. While he moved his hand across the glass he noticed that the watch that he called the Megadeus with was somehow apart of him right now that the watchband was apart of his wrist. The only exception to that rule was the fact that dial part of the watch was still out in the open, not apart of him and with that he wondered why this was the way it was. There had to be a reason why and he all intentions to find out why.

"Have you told me everything, Big O. I got the feeling that you have left some things out on me. If you did, please tell me," said Roger.

"You are right," said Big O using his voice.

Seconds after that the slight reflection of him on the window came to life and with that Roger knew that Big O had once again connected to him.

"Then what have you left out on me. If are truly meant to be together like this, I should know everything about the condition that I am in right now," said Roger.

"You for a fact that you can control your change into the Megadeus form, but did you know that there are two ways that you can do it and there are some things that you shouldn't look at. If do you it will override your control over the process," answered Big O.

"Like what and what are the ways that I can changed into the Megadeus?" Asked Roger.

"You can't look directly at a Solar or a Lunar Eclipse, because if you do your control of the process will be overridden by the power of the heavenly bodies. With the change process you can do the morp in which your body slowly changed into the Megadeus and the other way is through the force morp. Now with the slow way, it takes time but you don't lose your clothes like you do with the force morp. With the force morp, your Megadeus form is more powerful, but as you know you lose your clothing during the change. Speaking of power, your most powerful Megadeus form happens when you look at the Solar Eclipse when it is in the Diamond Ring Formation," answered Big O.

"What is the 'Diamond Ring Formation' during the Solar Eclipse?" Asked Roger.

"That is the shape of the light that come from the sun when the shadow of the moon reaches a certain point during the Solar Eclipse process," answered Big O.

"Okay, what about the attacks that the Megadeus form has?" Asked Roger.

"That is done via your mind, you think of the type of attack that you want and just like that the attack will be done," answered Big O.

Hearing that Roger nodded his head at that and with the slight refection that was on the window returned back to its normal form. Just in time because something caught his eye and with his now enhance vision he quickly zoomed on the moving object. In doing that he could see that it was a thing that was quickly descanting from the sky to the ground. Roger tried to figure out who this thing was and he was about to give up on trying to indemnified to creature until recognized the shape of a the wings of the flying creature, it was Griffinmon. With that Roger knew that if Griffinmon was up there, than Marry her human partner couldn't be that fare away from her.

Where is she? What is she doing out there? Asked Roger to himself. He wanted to know why she was doing this, acting on her own without anybody else knowing about it.

To only confuse Roger even more was the location of where the Armor-Level Digimon was descanting to; it was the location of where they were the rest of the other Digidestined were being housed under his name. He thought that he knew who this Marry person was, but this prove to him that he had no clue who she was and that she was still her own person that still did things the way that she wanted. She was an independent individual that didn't care how people felt about the actions that she did; she did things the way she liked. While that was a good thing for an individual, it was a bad thing for a team.

Roger heard the door open up and with that Roger snapped his head in the direction of the noise. While he knew most of the people that were in his house and that none of them would want to hurt him, he couldn't help stepping into a slightly defensive position. That was because of the police training that he had that told him to have some type of awareness no matter where he was at, for any type of lack of awareness was the perfect time for somebody that wasn't his friend to take advantage of him. That was something that he didn't what to have happen to him.

His defensive stance wasn't required and this was because the person that had open up the door was his sister, Kari. Seeing that, Roger lessens his stance, but that still didn't mean that he could be totally relaxed, there was still a chance, even if it was remote, that she could hurt him. While he did trust her, there was something in the back of his mind that told him that the only person that he could completely trust was himself, no matter how one person prove to him that they could be trusted.

"Kari, I didn't expect you to be here," said Roger.

"I was told to see how you are doing, after you can out of that thing," answered Kari.

Roger didn't need to use his hearing to hear that Kari was having a little trouble with the subject of the merging that he had with the Megadeus. Even he had a little trouble thinking about what had happen to him over the past few hours, but he knew that it happen and the best thing that he knew was to accept what had happen rather than try to understand what happen.

"Kari, I fine, I am still myself despite the fact that have something that can destroy an entire city block contain with in me," said Roger.

"I know and that what scare me a little, that you have so much power inside of you. That I wondered how can you control it," said Kari.

Roger understood her concern about him with what he had inside of him. She was right about the power that he had, he also wondered how could he control something to powerful just through the power of his mind. He knew that he would fine a way to do it and with that, it made him wonder about why the mind of Big O was still with him. Maybe he was the control element that would keep him stabile while the ground was shaking, so that he wouldn't loss himself in that thing.

"I know, it scares me a little in what I can, when I totally lose it, how much destruction that I could do before I realize what I have done. That is something that I have learn to live with, but I wasn't assigned to be your protector in this world," said Roger.

"You are right on that part," said Kari.

"We will fine this out together," said Roger. "I also think it is time that I tell you what happen to me and what you have been hiding from me."

This totally socked Kari; this was because she had never thought that he would be able to pick some like that up. While Kari didn't know what he was talking about, it seems that Roger knew what he was talking about.

"I am not talking about you, I am talking about your friend, Izzy and Marry, they have left something out about me. I want to know what it," said Roger.

After that the two of them walked out of Roger's bedroom and when they did they saw that everybody was there waiting to see how things went. They could see that Kari was the same, but they could see that Roger was different in a way.

"Did he tell you?" Asked Izzy.

"No, Izzy I didn't tell her anything about what happen to me when I was in there, going through a change in my body. I will tell you everything that I can put into words to you, after you tell me what you found out about the prophecy," said Roger.

"But I…" started Izzy.

"No, not the pictures, the other text that you finally translated, and you have something that belongs to me," ended Roger.

Izzy didn't know what to said at this.

"Izzy, I know that Alex took a part of my soul and stuck it into Big O to prevent me from taking his order down, but I would like to know how I am to do something like that," said Roger.

"You are right, you are destined to take down Alex Rosewater's order with a thing that is called 'The Sword of Four Virtues', now I don't know what that is, Roger," said Izzy.

"Okay, but I would like to have my Crest," requested Roger, in a slight controlling voice. That wasn't to strong or two soft, it was just to make Izzy do what he wanted.

Izzy was about to protest the request but he found himself doing it without thinking and that was a little strange for him to do something like that. It seems that Roger somehow just through the power of his voice made him do something that he wouldn't normal do. With that gone, Izzy pull out the Crest that belongs to Roger. In doing that everybody found out that the Crest was glowing the slight yellow color.

Roger put the Crest and tag in one of his jeans's pockets away from the sight of everybody else.

"Thank you," said Roger in the same style of voice. Roger didn't stop using the voice and this was because Roger wanted to keep a lease on Izzy to make sure that he give him the right object that he wanted. That if Izzy didn't give him want he wanted, he could still command him and not let Izzy get away from him.

Roger inspected the Crest and tag. He check the entire thing and he found out that this thing was the real McCoy, with that Roger nodded his head at Izzy. With that Izzy found himself out of the state of funk that he was in. It was something that Izzy didn't understand what had happen to him.

"Izzy, are you all right?" Asked Davis.

"Whoa, what just happen to me?" Asked Izzy.

"I really don't know, it look like that Roger some how put you under a spell through the power of suggestion that is contain within his voice," answered Ken.

Everybody looked at Roger and they could see that he had a little bit of smug look on his face. Almost like he knew that this was going to happen to him.

"Just how did you do that?" Asked Tai.

"Quite honestly, I really don't know how I did it, I just did it because that crest was something that I wanted and I felt like that Izzy wasn't going to give that thing up without a fight," answered Roger.

"This is what I am worry about, Roger. You won't be able to control you power and who know what other powers that you have within your body that you can used against us or our enemies," said Kari.

"She is right," said Sora. "We don't know what you can do."

"You don't have to worry about it, I promise you that, I kept my promises," said Roger.

"We don't know that for sure," said Ken.

Roger started to laugh at this, he knew for sure that he was the same type of person despite that fact that he had so much untapped power within him. It seems that the people that he thought were apart of his team didn't think like that and that was something that he didn't understand about them. He thought that have somebody that was as powerful as he was would be something that they would welcome in this fight.

"Is isn't funny, Roger. We don't know if you are the same person," said Kari. "The way that you control Izzy without breaking a sweat is a clear sign that you are different."

"Guys, I am the same person that you meet on that day. Big O might be merged with me, but I can assure you that I am the same person and I speak with my own voice and not his. It is something that is extra. Kari you trust me don't you?" Asked Roger.

"You word isn't good enough for us," said Matt.

"Don't get my sister involved in this fight," said Tai that without thinking was defending his younger sister despite the fact that she could hold her own when it was required of her to do so.

"What is then?" Asked Roger.

"You actions, if you do something to prove that you are the same person just with something extra. Then, and only then we will be able to trust you like we did before," answered Tai.

"I can't believe this," said Roger.

"Believe it," said Izzy.

"I shouldn't be the one that you should be distrusting, you should be more worry about Marry and what she is doing under your noses right now," said Roger.

"What is he talking about?" Asked Davis.

"I am talking about, that I saw Griffinmon out there descending from the sky toward the hotel where the rest of the other Digidestined are located. If I was you, I would be doing some checking up on her rather than me," said Roger.

"We will do that," said Tai. "That still dose not mean that we can trust you, you will have to stay here while we do some checking up on Marry. To see what she is doing."

Roger just signed in disgusted at what these children where doing to him, he knew that he was himself despite the fact that he had Big O inside of him that was giving him a lot of power. Even with that, Roger knew that he had to respect the wishes of the Digidestined and stay here while they went on to check out on their own. Roger watched as Ken, Davis, Tai, and Matt were the one that were selected to go out to see what Marry was doing on her own. Davis's and Ken's Digimon Digivoled their Champion Level and after that Tai and Matt got on the back of them. After that the four of them were off in the skies of the city that he called his home.

With them gone he found out that the only Digidestined that were still around, which Roger thought were there to kept any eye on him, they were T.K., Izzy, Sora, Joe, Yolie, Cody, Kari, and Steve.

"Don't try that trick on any of us or I am Digimon will make you paid for doing something like that," said Yolie.

With that Roger could see that Hawkmon, Gatomon, Patamon, Biyomon, Gomamon, Tentomon, and Armadillomon took up defensive position after what their human partners said about then. Seeing this, Roger tried his hardest not to laugh at their efforts to protect them. Even if he knew that he could take them on without breaking a sweat.

"So what do we do know?" Asked Roger.

"We wait, until the others come back with the news of what Marry is doing out there without us," answered Izzy.

"Okay," said Roger. After that Roger took a sit in his sofa. "I can do that."

While Griffinmon wanted to go back to were the International Digidestined were at, to see how they were fairing being in this world for so long without getting a piece of the action. Marry on the other hand wanted to see how badly Micheal was killed when he fell to the ground when Lady Devimon used her Black Wing on the body of her Digimon.

"I want to see where Micheal fall to his death," said Marry.

"But, didn't you said that you wanted to see how the International Digidestined are doing," said Griffinmon.

"Right, but then can wait a little bit more, I want to see if I can give him any type of respect for his soul to make sure that he will have a better afterlife than this life," said Marry.

"Okay," said Griffinmon.

With that Griffinmon let Marry disembark her and when that happen Marry walked to where Micheal's body was located. As she got closer to it, she started to smell the fresh blood of the huge gaping wound that was located dead center in his body. The smell of the blood overpowered Marry and because have that she started to have dry heaves and it felt like that she was about to throw up at what she was seeing. She knew that she had to keep it up and she did until she reach body. In doing that she could see more of the horrible detail of the atrocious death that he went through. She hopes that he die without feeling any pain because if he did she couldn't image the pain that he went through.

Marry gulped hard and this was because she knew that she was about to pick up the body from the metal pike that had killed him. She started to lift the body off of the pike and found out that she couldn't do without any help, it was a lot heavier than it looked.

"Griffinmon, can you help me a little," said Marry.

Griffinmon just signed at what Marry requested her to do, but she did anyway. While she couldn't lift the body like Marry was doing. She could use her head and brut force to left the other end at the same time Marry was lifting the other side. With their combine efforts the two of them lift Micheal's body from the pike and after that the two of them put the body on the ground. In doing that they could see the huge bloody hole that was in his stomach and seeing that Marry felt like she was about to throw up once again, but she controlled it. She told herself to separate herself from her emotions and that right now she had a job to do, and when she was done with the job that would be the right time for her to give into her emotions.

With that Marry put her to hands together and started to pray for the soul of the man that she only knew as Micheal. While she didn't know a lot about the person, what she did know was that he wasn't pure evil he was just a little bit misguided and he needed the right person to show him the right way. That toward the end of his short life he was trying to atom for the evils that he did and because of that he didn't deserved to live a life that was full with suffering like some people that she knew. If he didn't get an afterlife that was full with infinite peace, she should at least get a second chance to live his life a second time with the knowledge of the mistakes that he had made in this life time.

While Marry didn't control that decision in the afterlife, she knew that she could at least put in a good word for this person to help decision process be weighted in his side.

"Are you done?" Asked Griffinmon.

Marry got up from the ground. "Yes I am."

"Now are we going to see other Digidestined?" Asked Griffinmon.

"Yes," answered Marry.

After that Marry got on the back of her Digimon and then the two of them went to the hotel. Unlike before there was nobody there to stop them from taking a visit to the others. With that Marry knocked on the door and like before one of the other International Digidestined open up the door only slightly to see who it was. Marry could see that it was Willis.

"Willis, can you let me in, I want to see how you are doing," said Marry.

Willis nodded his head at that and with that he shut door. While that was going on, Marry could hear him unlock the door and seconds after that the door was open up. Marry and Griffinmon walked through the door and when they did they could see that all of the other International Digidestined were there expect for Steve, this was because Steve was still in Roger's house.

"How is every doing?" Asked Marry.

"We are doing okay, but I would like to know what be going on out there," said Willis.

"Yeah," said Micheal.

"Yes," said Sam.

"I would also like to know what is going on," said Derek.

"Okay, I am going to tell you, that things were very busy, you might not know this, but you were the target of Roger and his Megadeus, Big O," started Marry.

Everybody gashed at hearing that and Marry knew that something like that was going to happen when she told them about this. She knew that she would have the same type of reaction if somebody told her that Big O was after her, it wasn't something that a person would want to experience. Seeing something like that, that big would scare the wits out of somebody if they knew what that thing could do. If they didn't they won't be scare of it, they would be curious about it, that until they saw it destroyed a building without breaking a sweat.

"I know that isn't something that you should be to happy about, I know I wouldn't be happy if that thing can in my direction. But you should know that we stop him, actually I stop him," said Marry.

"How?" Asked Derek.

"Through a thing that is called 'Digi Jewel'," said Marry and after that Marry brought out the blue prism-like thing for all of them to see.

Everybody took a look at the thing and it wasn't a thing that none of them had seen before. This was because a Digi Jewel was a rare thing and the ones that do find it are people who are destined to change a world.

"What is that thing?" Asked Sam.

"I really don't know fore sure, you know that it is a 'Digi Jewel', what I do know is that it is a piece of a Destine Stone and you all know how powerful they are," answered Marry.

"Okay, how did it stop Roger and Big O?" Asked Derek.

"I don't know, but somehow Digi Jewel partially stop the virus that was within Roger long enough for us to get him back to his home. During that time we did a little research into it and we all found ourselves looking all of the city for the cure to that virus that was within him. When I did I found myself fighting with another Megadeus that was red in color and I lost the fight. I found myself falling into a river and I didn't know how long I drifted, but I found myself in a farm area that had green lands and a blue sky," answered Marry.

"What is this place that you are talking about called?" Asked Micheal.

"It is was called 'Islesberry', in there I meet a person called Gordon Rosewater, the person that had cause all of the troubles in this world. He ask me to forgive him for what he did, and I told him that I can't do that, the only one that could do that are the Digimon that had changed into Megadeues. Despite that he still told me about what his father did to Roger, he very own son, he own son put a part of the Roger's soul into Big O in hopes that Roger would never find it," answered Marry.

"Why?" Asked Sam.

"Because according to a prophecy that was told to him when Roger was born that he would be the one that would destroy his order. First they tried to control him, but they found out that they couldn't do that so they put the part of his soul that contain his latent power, in hope that he would never find that part of his soul," answered Marry.

"Now that Roger found Big O, his efforts to prevent something like that from happening, actually is causing his downfall," said Micheal.

"Right, plus the fact that Roger and Big O are merged together. When I left to find something that in located in this world, I found myself fighting two men, who were both, killed by Lady Devimon. While I was doing that I wondered how you were doing," said Marry. "So that basically sum up what happen since you been here."

"Well we are doing pretty well, when considered that we are in an alien world," said Wills that was acting like the proxy for the rest of the other Digidestined that were located in this room. "But we would like to know why we are required to be in this place?"

"I quite honestly think you are like the rest of the other Digidestined are here to help Roger defeat the true evil that is infesting this world with its evil," answered Marry.

"So basically what you are saying we are going to be part of some big team effort to defeat a force of evil?" Asked Sam.

"Yes," answered Marry.

"I just hope we aren't cannon folder to allow the stronger fighters, like WarGreymon, Metal Nivernmon, Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, or Metal Garurumon," said Sam.

"You aren't the only the one, who feel like that," said Marry. "Now I have to go back before they think that I am against their goal."

Everybody nodded their heads at that and with that the two of them went out of the hotel, back into the gray color city that was know as Paradigm City. When she did she found out that two Digimon that she never expected to see greeted her. They were Stingmon and ExVeemon with their Digidestined partners plus Tai and Matt.

"Well this is a pleasant surprise," lied Marry.

"We would like to know what were you doing going out on your own without you telling us about it?" Asked Davis.

"What are you, my mother?" Asked Marry.

"No, but you should of told us where you were going," said Tai.

"Why should I? I am my own person; I just join this team because I save the same feeling that you do about this world that we should save it. You should know that I might be on your team right now, but that dose not mean that I will stay with you when this is all over with," said Marry. "By all rights, I shouldn't tell you anything in what I do, if you think about I could tell you want to do, because you forget I am a lot older than any of you."

"She is right about that," said Ken. "But that still dose not make it right, that you should do such a thing without us knowing about it. You should haven't answered or question, what were you doing?'

"If you want to know what I was doing, I was looking for that sword that Angel person was talking about because I think I know what she is talking about. I can't do it right now because you are stopping me right now," answered Marry.

"Where do you think the location of where the sword is?" Asked Ken.

"I think it is located in the same spot of where the World Trade Center Towers once stood in this world," answered Marry.

"It that is true, than you know what this means," said Matt.

"Yes, this city, Paradigm was built on the ruins of the city of New York City, but as a New York City resident myself, I don't recognized anything that is in this city that is the same as New York City of our world," said Marry.

"That is true, but you don't know that your New York City is the same as their New York City, that the only thing that is the same is their name only," said Ken.

"That dose not mean any thing, I have to continue to look for the location of that sword, tell Roger or whoever is in command over there what I have told you. That you shouldn't worry about me, because I can talk care of myself and that I shouldn't be interrupted while I am on that search," said Marry. "Now if you don't mind I got a location to find, now the faster that I go in looking for it, the faster that I can fine it."

After that Marry got on the back of her Armor Level Digimon and was about to take flight back into the skies of this world.

"Here, there we didn't say that you could leave," said Davis.

Marry didn't listen to what Davis said to her, she took flight to the skies of this world. "Sorry, Davis, I don't have the time to give me the go ahead."

Davis just stood there spellbound by the actions of the Marry was talking with him. She was once again acting on her own again; looking for the sword that was talk about in that prophecy. That was something that Davis didn't understand about her, that she could do things like this and there was nobody around her to stop her from doing that. He knew that if he did something like that he would receive a serve though lashing for what he did.

"Man, I wish I could act like her, just get up and go where and whenever she likes without anybody telling her not to do it," said Davis.

"That is one of the many reasons why he ask her to join our little team, because we knew that she could do something like that. Sometimes you need a person like that if you want things to get done," said Ken.

"What are you going to do?" Asked Tai.

"I think we should go back to Roger's house and tell him what Marry told us, that we shouldn't brother her with this. She knows what she is doing," said Davis.

With that the team of Digimon and Digidestined were off once again to the skies of this world. For the first time, they won't heading off to battle, they were heading back to Roger's house with this news. They wondered how Roger would react to this.

"I just hope that I don't upset Roger with this, but I can't allow time to past us by and do nothing when an important item that is a requirement to help save this world is under are noses," said Marry.

Three hours had past this world by and the four groups of people send the time in different ways. For Marry and Griffinmon the time was spent looking for the location of the sword in this world. The only thing that made Marry and Griffinmon spot in her search was for food that Marry and Griffinmon. The food of choice for the two of them was a two buckets of apples and this was because it was the cheapest thing that the two of them could have. Since they weren't in their own world, their access to money was quite limited to the money that they had on them as the moment. Since the two of them were hungry, they didn't take the time to think about where fruit came from in a world like this. Later on, they might think about it. After they paid for the food the two of them found a quite little place that the two of them could eat without anybody noticing the two of them doing it. For Alex Rosewater, Daemon, and the team of techs worked out of the bugs that were in the program that would open up the gateway between these two worlds, which would allow them to enter into that world. The only thing that was now required for them to complete the process was to kill the Digimon that they had chain up and turn him into pure data despite the fact that he was a Mega Level Digimon. He was no match for the power that Daemon had with his Evil Inferno attack that completed deleted the Mega Level Digimon without breaking a sweat. With that his data was collected into the computer and in a matter of seconds the program that was contain within the computer started the process that would open up the gateway between the two different worlds. When that happen the strange feeling that Griffinmon experience before was back and Marry knew that by the reaction that Griffinmon was having. She just stood there with her teeth baring in the direction of where the building of the Paradigm Group was located.

"What is it, Griffinmon?" Asked Marry.

"That feeling it back and it worst than before," answered Griffinmon.

Marry didn't say anything to that the only thing that she did was to jump on the back of her Digimon and let her take her to that building to see what was going on there. She had funny feelings that whatever they were doing there wasn't good and would require her to do some extreme actions. Unknown to her that her go-ho action had caused her to be spotted by another person and this person was Roger that was looking out on his deck. Like Griffinmon and the other Digimon he could feel what his father was doing, he felt the urge to go where Marry and Griffinmon was going.

"Do you feel that?" Asked Roger.

"Yes, I do," said ExVeemon. "What is it?"

"I don't know, but what I can tell you is that it isn't good," answered Roger.

"We have to go there and stop whatever it is from happening," said Stingmon.

After that Kari walked up to where Roger, ExVeemon, and Stingmon were standing. She let herself go and she also could feel the power of that thing that was out there, whatever it was. Like the others she knew that whatever this thing was it wasn't good and that they had to stop it no matter what the cost was.

"I also feel it, you guys are right, we have to stop this thing," said Kari.

"Davis, what do you said," said ExVeemon.

Davis look up at the sky and he could see that the sky in the direction of where main building of the organization that controlled almost everything in this city and he see that the sky was changing. The sky that was normal shades of grays where starting to changed in a brilliant orange almost like a sunset. Seeing that Davis knew that it was time for him to go into action.

"We should do it," said Davis.

With that everybody jumped into action. Every Digimon that wasn't in their Champion forms Digivoled into their Champion Forms. Roger on the other hand went to the garage to drive his car, the Griffon. After that Roger in his car and the Digidestined with their Digimon were heading in the direction of where the strange vortex was forming up in the sky around that building. The same vortex that Roger and the other saw that was enough to make Davis make the choice to head long into battle, was also being watched by Marry. Just like Davis, Marry didn't like the way that it looked.

"Griffinmon, I think this is a little over your head, I think you should go to your Mega Level," said Marry. Seconds after that she brought out her Digi Jewel. "I also think that it is time for you to your Battle Mode, I don't care what they think about your final Mode."

Griffinmon nodded his head at that and after that the two of them went behind a building. In there Griffinmon went back to her Rookie Form and seconds after that Nivernmon wrap Digivoled to her Mega Level, Metal Nivernmon once again. With that the huge sliver armor dragon full the sky once again in this world for everybody to see. On the back of he Digimon was Marry controlling it through the strips that were located on each side of the first pair of sliver wings. When she did that she told everybody that she was there and that went the same with the people that she fought along side with.

"We have to stop that thing from finishing whatever it had started," said Marry.

"Right," said Metal Nivernmon.

"Giga Beam!" Yelled Metal Nivernmon. With that her main attack was let lose on the yellow glass dome that surrounded the building. After that the powerful plasma base energy beam shot right through the glass like it was paper mache, obliterating the glass like it wasn't there at all. In doing that it didn't produce a big enough hole for Metal Nivernmon to come through the glass.

"All right, let's do again," said Marry.

Metal Nivernmon nodded her head at that and after that Metal Nivernmon primed herself to maximize the power of her missile attack. "Metal Dragon Smash!" She yelled and seconds after that a half dozen powerful missiles were shot out of the wings of the Mega-Level Digimon.

The missiles exploded on impact and the sound of glass breaking was heard through the city and when the smoke clear from the attack. When it did it relieved the all of the glass was broken, but the metal frame was still intact despite the attack.

"Dam, what did they make these things out of?" Asked Marry.

"I don't know, but I can help you," said a voice that was made up of two voices that spoke as one. With that Marry knew that it could only be one Digimon that could be, and that Digimon was Paildramon. She turned around and found out that he as right, it was Paildramon the combine form of both ExVeemon and Stingmon.

"Good," said Marry.

"Sting Strike!" He yelled out and seconds after that two huge metal spikes came out of the arms of the Digimon. After that the Ultimate-Level Digimon went after the reminding metal super structure that held the glass in place. When he did one of his metal spikes got caught in the metal and Paildramon didn't panic when that happens to him. He stay calm at what happen to him and put his other spike into the metal and became to used the two metal spikes like a can opener to pyre open the metal, he did. In a matter of seconds Paildramon was free.

"That was a mistake, one that I won't make again," said Paildramon.

Marry look up at the sky and she could see that the sky was about to rip up and in doing that she could see that the this rip in the sky was going to be a gateway to another world. What world was it connecting to, that was the question that she wanted to have answer to. Taking another look at the rip, something inside of her told her that this wasn't good and that she was about to find the answer to the question that she just asked to herself. Unknown to Marry, Metal Nivernmon also look up at the sky and she also saw the rip in the sky and just like Marry she wanted to know where was this thing going to do.

"What are they doing?" Asked Marry to herself.

"Whatever they are doing, I don't like it," answered Metal Nivernmon.

"She right, we have to stop this," said Paildramon.

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

"Sonic Wave!" Yelled Metal Nivernmon and second after that her sound base attack ripped through the air. In doing that the metal super structure that blocked them fell to the power of the attack. With that the two of them went into the dome that they blasted in.

In doing that they found out that it was yet another mistake made on their behalf because a huge yellow beam was shot out of the building toward the rip that was in the city. In doing that it destroyed the top of the dome and in doing that the rip that was in the city started to expand to some much that the three of them could see where the location was.

"My God I don't believe it," said Marry.

"What?" Asked Metal Nivernmon.

"That is my world," answered Marry. With that Marry knew what she had to do, she had to go into the heart of the beast and shut down that program. She did with Metal Nivernmon as her tool and when she reached the area were the beam was coming out. The two of them were blasted away from the beam with so much force that the two of them were through clear out of the dome and behind a building. Before Paildramon could do anything to stop that thing he was also a victim of the attack.

"Paildramon!" Yelled Davis and Ken as they watched their Digimon fall down to the ground. The only sound that the two of them heard was the loud thud and a huge cloud of smoke at the area where Paildramon fall down at.

In the lab Daemon and Alex watched as two of the Digimon felt from the power that came from the beam.

"How long?" Asked Daemon.

"Ten more minutes," answered another young tech that was busy taping keys on his keyboard trying to maintain the balance, so he wouldn't destroyed this building.

* * *

Marry and Metal Nivernmon landed on the ground, when they did they brought down a couple of more buildings. Despite that, the two of them were okay and that the only thing that they did to them was shook them up a little.

"Okay, now I am mad," said Marry and after that she pull out her Digi Jewel. "Metal Nivernmon are you ready."

Metal Nivernmon nodded her head at that.

Two more Digimon fall down to the ground with carbon scoring on their body, these Digimon were Angewomon and Mega Kabuterimon.

"Angewomon!" Cried Kari.

"Mega Kabuterimon, are you okay?" Asked Izzy.

"I fine, whatever that thing was, I have never see anything like that before," answered Mega Kabuterimon.

"That goes the same with me," said Angewomon.

"What is that thing?" Asked Roger as he watched another group of Digimon to fell like flies. These Digimon were Metal Greymon, Were Garurumon, and Aquilamon. Like with Kari and Izzy, Yolie, Tai, and Matt cried out their names to find out how they were. They found out that they were okay despite the fact that they couldn't continue the fight.

The last two to go into the fight was Ankylomon and Angemon. The two of them was about DNA Digivoled when the Angemon noticed something about the rip, it was getting bigger. So much bigger that they could clearly see where this thing was opening to.

"Is that what I think it is?" Asked Angemon.

T.K. look ups and could see the skyline of a major Northeast City and with that he recognized the two most dominant skyscrapers in the entire skyline. They were two blue color buildings with a triangle shape top and with that he knew what skyline he was looking at, it was Philadelphia, the city that was the birthplace of US, the city of brotherly love.

"Yes, Angemon, that is Philadelphia, Alex Rosewater had just open up a gateway between this world and ours," answered T.K.

"Then we have to go and stop it," said Angemon.

"Right," said T.K.

"I won't let you, it my job to stop that thing and you don't have the power to do so," said Roger.

T.K. turned around and could see that Roger had his head bowed down. Seconds after that Roger lifted his head and when he did that, they could see that Roger's eyes were glowing white. After that Roger yelled out and seconds after that T.K. could see that Roger's body was going through a change. With that T.K. wondered what was going on with the Megadeus pilot and then he found out what it was. Roger's skin was ripped off and in doing that it relieved the black armor Megadeus that they knew as Big O, but only smaller. The size problem was no different because Big O went to normal size in a matter of seconds. With that Big O went in the direction of where the beam of energy was coming. Big O reaches the inside of the dome and he could see more detail of the beam. He was about to smash the building open but he was stop when he saw Daemon with Alex on the back of the Digimon follow the light with unbelievable speed.

When the two of them reach the top of the portal, the beam of light stop firing and because of this the portal started to close up.

"NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Cried Marry inside of the cockpit. "I won't let you take control over my world."

"Marry, take a look at the portal, it closing," said Metal Nivernmon.

"You better hurry up," said Marry.

"Okay," said Metal Nivernmon.

Outside of a huge blue armor creature rushed toward the battle area with a jet that was located on the back on her two armor legs of the creature. The creature that was a Digimon moved so fast that nobody could ever take a good look at the new Digimon. The Digimon flew past Big O and to the closing portal that was up in the sky.

"We aren't going to make it," said Marry.

"Yes, we will, I can kept it up long enough with my Giga Beam," said Metal Nivernmon

"Do it," said Marry.

"All right," said Metal Nivernmon.

Outside the blue armor Digimon moved its right hand toward the closing portal and seconds after that a huge blast of yellow energy was shot at the portal. Just like Metal Nivernmon thought would happen, happen, the energy from the plasma base attack kept the portal open long enough for the two of them to make it to the portal before it would close.

"I think we are going to make it," said Marry. Second after she said that she felt something slowed them down. Marry looked out of her display and saw what had cause it, Big O had fired one of its chains at them. The chain had landed on one of her Digimon's legs.

"I am sorry about this, Roger, but I can't allow your father to take control of my world without fighting for it," said Marry. "Metal Nivernmon, you know the drill."

"Right," said Metal Nivernmon.

Using one of the joystick-like levers that were in fort of her, Marry controlled the arm of her Digimon. Unlike the other arm that just contain the huge cannon-like beam. This also contain a cannon-like beam weapon, with one thing added a huge blue armor triangle-shape weapon. That was she was adding right in the direction of Big O.

"Dragon Claw!" She yelled out.

Seconds after that the huge armor thing was shot off from the arm of the Digimon and broke the chain in a matter of seconds. This cause Metal Nivernmon to be free to continue her trip to her world and because of that, Marry didn't stick around to see that Big O had fall down on the ground. With that out of the way Marry and Metal Nivernmon made it to the portal when they did they were sucked into it. Before anybody could get up from the ground to fellow the two of them, the portal close up.

"Marry!" Cried Matt.

Big O got up from the ground just to look up at what just happen.
