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?

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. God blesses you all.

Still in Philadelphia, Roger and the rest of the other Digidestined find out why Alex and Daemon went into the city. With that they all know that they must stop him from taking the jewels back with them. Marry and Nivernmon head to the Academy of Natural Sciences, to talk with the team leader and find out the origin of their "Digi Jewel" to see if it the lost jewel that was once inside of that Aztecian temple.

Chapter 21 A Dance on the Delaware

Marry with Nivernmon was driving down the surface streets of the city of Philadelphia, something that she once did when she grew up in this city. While Marry knew how to drive, it was something that she didn't enjoy doing and this was because it was to much work to drive and she was the type of person that didn't like to do to much work to enjoy something. Right she knew that it was something that she had to because SEPTA didn't have a bus line where her father's house was located to take her to Academy of Natural Sciences in one trip. This was faster way to get to same location and time was something that they had to managed pretty well if they wanted to defeat Alex and Daemon.

Thinking about the two of them, Marry wondered if the two of them knew about the jewels that were discovered in an Aztecian temple that was located in South America. She hopped that they didn't know what she knew, but with the widespread circulation that the Philadelphia Inquirer had through this city, she had funny feelings that the two of them knew what she knew about these Jewels. With that she figured that the two of them were on the same track that the two of them were. She just wished that she had a jumped on the two of them so she could think of a plan to make sure that two of them didn't get their hands on them. If they did, God only knew what would happen to this world, the Digital World, and the world of Paradigm.

"I just hope that we are allowed to speak to team leader of that group," said Nivernmon.

"Don't worry about it, because I personally know the team leader," said Marry.

"How?" Asked Nivernmon.

"The two of us went to same school, but as you can see the two of us had different majors," answered Marry.

"Oh, I didn't know that," said Nivernmon.

"Oh, c'mon Nivernmon you were around when I went to school, you should of known that about me," said Marry.

"No, I didn't know that, you forget that you were so busy with your school work that you didn't have any time with me," said Nivernmon.

With that Marry knew remember that time of her life when she spent most of her time dealing with her school work and working her part time job so that she could paid for the debt that she owned to the school and to her student loans. Which were still weren't paid off.

"I am sorry about that, but you have to understand, I was busy with all of my school work and the stupid part time job of mine who didn't care about my education. The only thing that they cared about was me being there and doing the work that they wanted me to do," said Marry, who had no that she was starting to trail off the subject that was at hand.

"I do understand that, you forget I am your partner Digimon and no matter what you do with your life I won't leave you," said Nivernmon.

Marry didn't say anything to that because Nivernmon was right about her, Nivernmon was stay with her through thick and thin, no matter what would happen to her. That was something that she couldn't say about most things in her life, her job, people that she thought were her friends that would later turn out to be her enemies that would do everything in their power to stab her into her back. They would do something like that because they either didn't like her or just because they could do something like that. Both, were things that Marry didn't understand why they would do that to her, because she thought that she was a decent person that didn't want to step on other people toes if she could avoid it. There were people that didn't see her like that, they saw her, as a person that would wanted to steal their thunder. Which was something that Marry never wanted to do, they all thing that she wanted to do was have a decent job with good paid and with good befits that also came with some power, not to much, but not to little, just enough to make her happy. It turned out that life didn't want to have something like that.

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

Hearing Nivernmon's voice snapped Marry out of the deep thought that she was in.

"Oh, I am fine, I was just thinking about what you just said to me about the two of us. I have to agree with you on that part, you are the only thing that I had in my life that was something that would stay with me, no matter what I went through or what I would put you through. That is something that is very important to me," said Marry.

"I didn't know you felt this way with me, I am very happy that I made you feel this way," said Nivernmon.

"I glad that I do. I just have one question, do you wonder what is going on in the world of Paradigm City? I said this because your reminder what Izzy say about the duration of time in that world is very different from our world, that every half-hour in our world is a day in their world. I can't image how much time has past by there," said Marry.

"I also wonder as well," said Nivernmon and after that Nivernmon looked out in the direction of the skyline of the City of Brotherly Love, thinking about that city. God only knows what is going on in that world without Roger to protect it thought Nivernmon.

Even with that across her mind, Nivernmon knew that she had to job to do just like her human friend/partner had to do and that was to prevent Alex from getting those jewels.

It has been almost a year since the actions that token place at The Paradigm Group and it seem that things were slowly getting back to normal here, with one exception no Roger Smith who seem to hold this city together with shear force of the Megadeus of his. Even with him gone there were other people that were so eager to take up the role of his. While the other people were good, none of them were as good as he was and it seemed that this city was suffering because of it. Nancy, knew the reason why of Roger's absent, he went into that vortex to what seemed to be another world that was completely separated of this one and Nancy figure out that time duration was different as well and she thought this because she knew for a fact that Roger won't let himself take so long one working on something. Even with him gone, Nancy knew that she had no a job to do and that was to take care of the people that were located in this underground subway station. Which she first thought was just a normal subway station, but she just recently found out that it was the station that was located under the buildings that were once know as the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center that were destroyed in a horrible act of terrorism. With that fact on her mind she knew that she had to kept this place as it was, to honor the memories of the people that died in that act and also to make sure that sword that was located in there as well will fall in the hands of the right person, which she knew was Roger. Even with that she knew that he had to come to this place on his own accord and not force him to take control of the sword. It was something that had to be done through his own will. That rule that was attached to the sword didn't tell her how long it was going to take, but even with that she had waited years from her to find him, what would another long year of waiting would do nothing to her waiting. She had done it before and she will do it again, but she knew now that he was going to fine it sooner or later.

"Are you worry that he won't find this place?" Asked Vinci.

"No, I don't worry that he won't find this place, because I know that he will find it sooner or later, it is just a matter of time. The only thing that we have to do is wait until he comes here," said Nancy.

"But all of this waiting is making me sick, I want him to find this thing and save this world from the Paradigm Group," said Vinci.

"Trust me, he will find it. Have I ever drove you wrong in the past," said Nancy.

"No, you haven't, you have kept this place under control and that is something that I am glad that you did. But I just can't stand waiting for him," said Vinci.

"Now you know how the Jewish people felt when God told them that their savior was coming," said Nancy.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Asked Vinci.

"I read a story that one of the people that I helped back give to me to pass the time. What I read in that story that God told his people through a prophet that their savior was coming to save them. God didn't tell them when it was going to happen, the only thing that was told was that it was going to happen and this is what I think will happen. We don't know when it was going to happen, the only thing that we know is that it is going to happen," answered Nancy.

"I've never heard that story before," said Vinci.

"I not to surprise that you haven't, most people haven't," said Nancy.

"Okay, back to the story, did it happen. Did God send His People the savior that he promise to them?" Asked Vinci.

"Yes, he did and I heard that the is the true reason why Heaven's Day is celebrated, not because it is a celebration of the founding of the city, but the accepted birthday of God's son," answered Nancy.

Vinci didn't say anything to do this, for him this was all new to him and he wanted to get all of the information that was about the past. While this did give him some tidbits about the past, it still didn't give him the whole story about the past of this place. Even with this new information that Nancy give him did make him wanted to question about the true nature of this place, but he knew in the long run that it would cause him more trouble than good. So he made the choice that it was better to stop when he was ahead, and right now he was ahead of the game.

"Why did they change it?" Asked Vinci.

"I have no clue and I think that the two of us should probe any further in this, because the two of us might end up a pool of our own blood one of these days," answered Nancy.

"Why do you say that?" Asked Vinci. "That seems to be so mild."

"Yes, to us, but to the people that are in the inner circle it dose not matter, anything to them to deal with the past is something that we shouldn't know about," said Nancy.

"Then, why do you think they let you kept this place, because I have funny feelings that this place has something to do with the past?" Asked Vinci.

"I don't know, but I have funny feelings that it has something to do with their bigger goal for this place and don't ask me because I have no clue what it is," said Nancy.

Like before, Vinci didn't know what to said to this but Nancy was right about this. If they didn't want to this place to be around anymore, than they would of found a way to remove her and this place from the minds of this world. So they wanted her to stay around in this place, but why. That was the question that the two of them wanted to have answered.

"Even with that, I have to make my rounds for all of the people that called this place their home," said Nancy.

Vinci nodded his head and let Nancy make her way through the cavern-like place, which she knew the true history of what this place was. This place was the once the sight of the buildings that were once know as North and South Towers of the buildings complex that was known as the World Trade Center.

Vinci watched Nancy make her way from her office to all of the people that were inside of the halls of this place. When Nancy was gone, Vinci make his way to the desk of Nancy's and he did this because he wanted to know the history of this place. Why, Nancy was so passion about kept it as it without any alterations to it, despite the fact that she told him not to look at what was in there. He knew that he was going against her word, but he didn't care because he wanted to know what she knew about this place, this was the only way that he thought would be the only way to find that out. So he started to look at the desk to see if she had mistakenly let the information out on the desk and he found out that she didn't do that. He knew that the next step for his search was to take a look inside of the desk and he started to open up the drawers of the desk. Like before he couldn't find anything that would help him with that search. With that he was a little pissed at her for doing this, but even with that he knew that she did a smart move. Even with that, he still wanted to know what she knew about this place.

* * *

Nancy made her way through the halls of this place and because of that she meet up with the rest of the people that were living in this place. Like so many days before she would great each people to see how they were doing. She wanted to know if they somehow reminder who they were before they found themselves in this place and she found out that nobody had recovered what they had lost. Even with that, it still didn't mean that she wouldn't treat them any different if they did have recovered their personal past in this city of lost memories.

"How are you?" She asked to one of them.

"I am doing okay, how are you doing?" They asked.

"I am doing fine, but it nice to know that you care about how I am doing right now. Have you recovered anything from your pervious life?" Asked Nancy.

"No, I haven't," they answered. "Are you upset with me?"

"No, I not," she answered her with. After that Nancy walked away from her and did the same type of questions that she did with them. Unlit she meet up with Beck who she called Wayne.

"Now are you doing, Wayne?" Asked Nancy.

"I am doing okay, but I had a horrible dream last night," answered Beck/Wayne.

Hearing that and knowing that dreams were important in recovering lost memories, Nancy knew that it was time for her to spend some more time with this person. "Okay, can you tell me what was the dream all about."

"It is kind of fuzzy, but what I do know was that I was at the controls of something and that I was looking out from the controls. In my view I could see that there was a huge sliver creature that was trying to avoid some type of missile attack was coming from me," answered Beck/Wayne.

Hearing that, Nancy knew with out a doubt in his mind that this guy was involved with that fight that was almost happen a year ago on the streets of this city. Even with this, she knew that Wayne still had broken memories of his pervious life before he found himself in this place and because of that she knew that he couldn't return to his former life. He still had to stay down here until he did gain his former life.

"Is that all, can you reminder more of that dream, it might be the key in getting your life back," said Nancy.

"No, I can't, I am sorry about that," answered Beck/Wayne.

"That is okay, you are doing better than most of the people that are down here. I have people that I have been down here for years and there have been people that have died down here without recovering a signal fragment of their pervious life," said Nancy.

"Man, I don't want to have that happen to me," said Beck/Wayne.

"Neither do I, I want you out of here, because it opens up a space for another person," said Nancy. "Now I have to tend to the rest of my other people."

Beck/Wayne nodded his head at and with that Nancy walked away from him, but even with that he still kept an eye on her. He watch as the same compassion that she give to him was given to the rest of the other people that were still around him, that he had feelings that were down here longer than he was. Seeing that he knew that this person that called herself Nancy was a rare gem in this world. Seeing a gem like her shine so brightly against the darkest was a rare sight to be seen and this was something that inspired him to make sure that he would do everything in his power to protect this woman that called herself "Nancy".

Even with that Beck/Wayne wanted to know who he was before he found himself in this place and he wanted to know why he was like this. What happen to him before this that made him like this? That was the question that burned in his mind, but like so much it was something that he would have to put off to another day and with that he continue on scratched at the ground like a rat would do to fine food. He had no clue why he was doing this or what was the purpose of doing something like this. All he knew that it was something that was keeping him busy in this place that – that to him – seems to be full with nothing to do. While he didn't know he was before this, he knew that if he didn't find something to pass the time by he would go nuts without something to do. So he started to dig and the floor that he was on, having no clue where his efforts would take him.

Dorothy was looking at Roger and the two Digidestined that called themselves Tai and Izzy, plus Izzy's Digimon that was called Tentomon. While she didn't know that for that long, she made the judgment that these two children were decent people that would do the right thing when the time came from them to make a choice. Despite the fact that Izzy with the help of both Yolie and Ken had to fudged their way into this hotel with what Izzy coined as "Computer Fraud", a tern that Dorothy didn't recognized. Her worry wasn't about them, it was about Roger and what happen to him almost a week ago. While the changes were slight, and to the causal viewer the changes would of noticeable, but to Dorothy, who was with him for a long time, even the slightest would have been noticed by her. One of the oblivious changes that he had ever since he had merged with Big O was his strength, he was a lot stronger than he was before that and another one was the senses, his normal five senses were heighten beyond the point of any normal human that she had meet before. He could see, touch, taste, smell, and hear things that a regular human couldn't and he had prove that to her many of times. It seemed, to her, that his heighten senses were on her level, that was of a computer or even a machine. That wasn't good enough for him to have, it seem that he also gained a the fabled sixth sense that she heard most talk about when they do something that was out of bounces for any of the other senses. While most humans sixth were small and just guided them to a certain solution to a problem, which the human would have to solve on their own, it seemed that Roger's sixth sense was also heighten as well. While these changes were things that she could learn to deal with, it was what was about what haven't surface with Roger. It was the X-Factor in this equation.

One of them X-Factors was the Roger's ably to control a person with just sound of his voice, and while his voice was a voice that was dark and a slightly mysterious. A voice that seemed to be capable of controlling somebody and that may her think that he might be so good at his job because of that latent powers of his that he was unknowing using on people.

Even with that on her mind, she wanted to know why Izzy and Tai were hear so she just sat back and let the two of them explain what is going right now.

"As you all know, we wouldn't come rushing over there without a valid reason," said Tai.

Roger didn't say anything to that and that was something that pecked her curiosity. This was because it seemed to her that Roger already knew what was on their mind. Then her practical side, her logical side kick and that told her that was a trait of his because of his job that he had that required him to somehow to know what his clients were thinking before they told him what was on their mind, but in a way that would offend him in anyway. With that she thought that nothing could offend him.

"What is your reason?" Asked Dorothy.

"Take a look at this," said Izzy. After that Izzy brought out the newspaper with the article that the two of them read before. Dorothy quickly read it and knew what the two of them knew.

"Roger, you should really read this, it is very important about why we are here," said Tai.

"I know, what you are talking about," said Roger.

"WHAT? How do you know that? We didn't tell you a thing nor read the article in the newspaper?" Asked Tai.

Izzy also wanted to know how Roger could know what the two of them were talking about without them saying a signal word about what the two of them had just read in the newspaper. Tai, right in character was the first one out of the two of them to ask the question that Izzy wanted to ask. Even if Izzy didn't ask the question, he still wanted to know how Roger knew this.

Roger tapped the temple of his head. "I've read your minds."

"You are telepathic? How?" Asked Izzy.

"I don't know for sure, but I will find out how this happen to me and what else I should expect to have happen to me, so I don't surprise you with these strange abilities of mine," said Roger.

"How?" Asked Tai.

"I will fine a way, just trust me with this," said Roger.

"Okay, then, what are we going to do?" Asked Tai.

"Wait, until I tell you that I am done, I also suggest that you tell the rest our group about what you have found out in the Newspaper," answered Roger.

Izzy, Tentomon, nor Tai did want to do that, but they knew that they had to do it to make him happy. While they didn't know the true power of what he could do, they knew just enough of it to make them be a little scare of what he could do to them. One of his powers was to make them do what he wanted despite the fact that they didn't. That was good enough for them to leave the room and inform the rest of their group what the two of them already knew.

While they were leaving the room neither Tai nor Izzy took a look back at Roger to see his reaction. The only thing that they wanted to do right now was to get out of that room as fast as they could and they did that as fast as they could. Outside of the room the two of them felt safe enough to speak among themselves about what was going on around them.

"Is it me, or dose Roger scare you a little?" Asked Tentomon.

"A little, with that ably to read minds, we won't be able to have our own thoughts to each other and I not the insecure type of person, but I like the fact that somebody can pear into my most inner thoughts whenever they want to," answered Izzy.

"What about you, Tai?" Asked Izzy.

"I have to agree with you on that part, we don't know Roger that well like the others and we don't know how he will handle this added ably of his. I know that Roger dose have an unwritten code of honor regarding his actions, that could tell him what is the right thing to do with this ably of his and that we shouldn't be afraid that he wouldn't go into our minds just because he feel like going in there. We have to reminder one thing, he is human just like you and me, and because of that he isn't perfect, he can and will make mistakes in the long run. One of them might be, that he entered one our minds by mistake," answered Tai.

"What are you saying, that we shouldn't trust him?" Asked Izzy.

"No, we shouldn't trust him, he has proven that he is trust worry, but I he shouldn't blindly trust him," answered Tai.

Izzy nodded at that and after that trio of them walked to where the rest of the group was being held up in this hotel.

Roger didn't need to read the minds of the three of them to know that they were socked with the news that he had given to them all, that he could read minds, he could read it on their faces. That they didn't like the fact that he could do such a thing and if he was in their shoes he would didn't doubt the fact that he would of reacted the same way that the three of them reacted when they heard his statement. He had to tell them because they had ask him how he knew that despite the fact that he didn't read the newspaper that they have given to him for him to read and fine out on his own what the two of them already knew before hand.

"Roger, why did the two of them react like that, when you told them that you were telepathic?" Asked Dorothy.

The question didn't caught Roger of guard, for he knew that she was going to ask that question. "They didn't like that the fact that I could do something like that."

"Why?" She asked again.

"Our thoughts are something is one of the few things that are still private and the only place that you can speak your mind and not get into trouble," answered Roger. "I have to leave you, and learn a little more about what is going on with me."

"How are you going to do that?" Asked Dorothy.

"I am going to find myself," answered Roger. After that he walked into another room and in there he sat on the floor of the room. After doing that, Roger started to clear his mind of any random thoughts about anything else expect for his goal right now, that was to talk to Big O and fine out what was going on with him.

While, Roger didn't show his fear about what was going on with him, he was a little scare at what was going on with him. Talking to Big O was the only one that he knew for sure to get the answers that he wanted, he didn't before, and he hope that he would be able to answer his questions once again.

Roger closed his eyes and cleared his head of anything that was on his mind. When he was sure that he did that, he open up his eyes once again to find out that he was still in the same room, but with one exception, Big O's image of him was sitting across from him, dress just like he was.

"I can tell you are little scare at what is going on with you right now," said Big O's image of him.

"Yes, I am, I didn't know what is going on with me. I want to know what is going on with me, I want to know what to expect from my body," answered Roger.

"You shouldn't be scare of what is going on with your body, the powers that you are receiving where things that were latent, hidden deep inside of you. Our merging was the kicker that got this ball rolling inside of you," said Big O's image of him.

"What are you saying that, what I am going through right now isn't from you?" Asked Roger.

"Yes and no. I only give you, your enhanced senses and your strength, but your telepathic ably is just an effect because of me. You had the ably to read mind inside of you, you just didn't know it and I don't think you are done with your latent allies," answered Big O's image of him.

"Okay, then what are latent allies will I received," said Roger.

"I think you will also received telekinesis ably as well, the ably to produced illusions, and you will be able to heal anybody from any affection that anybody can think of," he answered.

"How?" Asked Roger.

"I think is because of the natnites that are you are blood stream and thinking of that, the natnites in your blood stream also provide a service to you as well. Before you can ask that question, I tell you, Roger, you can't die from any normal means," answered Big O's image of him.

"Are you saying that I can't die," said Roger.

"From being stab in the heart by a knife, being shot anywhere at point blank range from any type of gun, any type venom or poisons, infections, and any type viruses. But you must listen to this part, you aren't not and I repeat immortal, you can die, but from one thing and that is from blue jewels," he said.

"Like the blue jewel that Marry had?" Asked Roger.

"Yes, but if the blue jewel is attached to the handle knife or is the what the knife blade is made out, you will die if you are stab in the heart by the weapon," he answered.

"Anything else you would like to inform me about this?" Asked Roger.

"Yes, you immunity from the different type of venom, poisons, bacteria, and virus can be pass on to normal people. It can only be done through your blood. Do you understand all of this Roger? He said.

Roger nodded his head at all of this information that Big O gave to him. He knew that the only threat to his life were blue jewels and that the immunity that he had right now could be pass on to other people, but only through one way, through his blood. He didn't need to ask Big O how he could do that, he figure out how he had to do it, he had to cut himself and let his blood come into contact with the other person. While the idea was a little sicken for him, but he understood the reason why this had to be and that was because the natnites that provided his immunity were located inside of his blood right now at this moment. Since there was no other way to extract the natnites from his blood, it had to be this way.

After hearing all of that, Roger knew that it was time for him to return back to the real world and then he almost forgot about one thing that was bugging him. He wanted to know how he could control all of these strange new powers that he was receiving right now.

"Big O, how can I control these powers?" Asked Roger.

"I can't answer that question, because I don't have the answer to that question. That is something that you will have to find out on your own, I sorry about that," he said.

Roger was a little upset at this fact, but Roger knew that it was nothing that he could do to change this fact right now. It was something that he would have to learn how to deal with and Roger knew that he would be able to do that.

After hearing Big O answer to his question, Roger knew that there was nothing else that was he wanted to have answered, so Roger closed his eyes on this world. Then he opened up his eyes on the real world and when he did that he found out that this trick of his did work, Big O's image of him was gone, replaced by thin air. With that Roger got up from the floor and the first thing that he did was to check out the clock display to figure out how much time had pass by and he found out that almost three hours had pass him by when he was talking with Big O.

Man, three hours? It didn't seem to last that long thought Roger. Even with that I know that I have to stop Alex from talking their jewels back to Paradigm. If that happens only God will know what is going to happen there.

Marry and Nivernmon real the Natural Academy of Sciences, but like most cities in the World, parking here, in Phily was tight, and tight was an understatement. It took Marry almost three trips through the various parking lots to find a legal place to park here, Marry knew that there were numerous illegally places to park in this city. That was something that Marry didn't want to do right now, Philadelphia's finest was something that she didn't want to deal with right now. She had more important things to worry about right now.

Like so many times before, Marry told Nivernmon to act like a toy, despite the fact that the rest of the world did know about the Digital World and the living creatures that live there that were called Digimon. That still didn't mean that people would accept the Digimon at face value, Marry knew that there would be some people out there that would think that the Digimon a fraud or were people in the government that would want to do experiments on the Digimon to find out how they worked. Thinking of what the government experiments would do her friend Nivernmon, Marry shiver at it. She knew from that the experiments would first hurt Nivernmon and in the long run they would kill her. When that happen they would want to gut her out to see what was inside of the Digimon, but they would find out killing her would make her delete into a million tiny pieces that themselves would disappear into nothing. That was something that Marry didn't want to go through again, she had been through that once and she thought that she had lost Nivernmon forever, but she found out that she was wrong, because Nivernmon came back to her. That happens inside of the Digi World, she didn't know what would happen here, in the Real World, she didn't know if the same rules applied here. So she didn't know if Nivernmon was deleted, that she would come back to her like she did before.

As terrible as that reality was, Marry knew that she couldn't think about it, because she had more important things right now and while that reality was quite possible in becoming true. It was something that she couldn't worry about. Right now she had to worry about Daemon and Alex getting their hands on these Ancient Jewels that were in this city.

Marry walked into the building and she found out that she had to paid to get inside of the building.

"Excess me, can I talk to the lead archaeologists that found the Jewels down in South America," said Marry.

"Why?" Asked the person.

"Because of two reasons, one I would like to know my friend my collage is doing and two I have something that they would like to see," answered Marry.

"I have to tell you that everybody in this world says that they are the friend or went to school with Dr. Lee McTze and do you want to know why?" Asked the person.

Marry knew what the reason was because he was in the local headlines right now and everybody want to attached themselves to this person just because they wanted their 15 minutes of fame. Marry wasn't like that, because Marry claims were legit, because she knew that she went to school with Lee, but it look like that this person didn't believe a signal world that she was saying right now. Even with that Marry wanted to hear if her theory on this was correct.

"Okay, tell me why," said Marry.

"I tell you why, because everybody want to attached themselves to this person just because they want their 15 minutes of fame and it seems to be you one of them. Now if you want to come inside of the building, you will have to paid the entrance feed just like the rest of the other people do," he said to her.

"Okay, what about what I have in my pocket right now, I bet you that it will be something that Dr. McTze would love to see," said Marry.

"You know young lady, I can take that as a threat and with what is going on right now, I think they won't be to kind of you, so you better take out whatever you have in your pocket right now very slowly," he said.

Marry didn't want he told her to do and when she did it. She relieved to him and to the rest of the others that were standing in line what she had in her pocket right now. She showed to them that she had a Digital Jewel that was sky blue in color and diamond shape and Marry didn't know it, but when she took it out of her pocket, the Digital Jewel caught the light. When that happens some of the people that were in the crowd knew what that thing was.

"Hey look, it the Fourth Jewel!" One of them shouted.

"It the missing Jewel!" Another Shouted.

Before she knew it everybody that were in the line caught on what was going on and started to shout out what that thing was. When that happen Marry's face beamed with joy, she had just proven to this person that she was right and that this was something that Dr. Lee McTze was going to so happy seeing.

The person moved toward his shoulder and that was because that was where his walkie-talkie was located. "Ah, Fred you better come up here, I have a little problem."

"So, now do you believe me," said Marry.

Even with all of this, the man still held his ground, denying Marry entrance into the building without putting down some money first for General Admission. This surprise Marry because she thought that it would good enough for him to let go and see Dr. McTze, but this prove to her that her thinking was way off track with this person. She wondered why, why this person was being so mean to her.

"Hey! Why don't you let her in?" Asked another person in the crowd.

"Yes, I can swear that look like to be the Fourth Jewel that the newspaper was talking about," said yet another person.

"C'mon, paid the price, I got a bunch of school children here that wants to get into the building" said another person.

Hearing that, Marry knew how the teacher felt, Marry reminded how antsy she was when she first went to this place. Even with that across her mind, she knew without a doubt that what she had in her hand right now was the real thing and something that she knew that Lee would love to see. She was so prepare to stand there all day if that what it took to get her point across to this person, but she found out that she didn't have to wait that long before she was greeted by yet another obstruction to her goal. This one was the a much bulkier man this guy or Mr. Williams and Marry knew the reason why, this person look like he was apart of the security here and because of that he needed to be built up like that.

"Can you come with me?" Asked the person.

"Why?" Asked Marry.

"We would like to talk to you about that thing," answered the person.

Seeing how the person was built and assuming that if she ran out of here, that person would be able to caught up with her and when that happen she would find herself face first down on the ground with him on top of her. That was something that Marry didn't want to have happen to her and she didn't want to see the look of her father's face when he found out that she had made the headlines in the local newspaper for doing this.

"Okay," said Marry.

With that the man escorted her out of the line and into two glass doors and past a black and white picture that had lighting bolts in it. With that out of the way she pass many of the permit displays in this place until she found herself in an-office like room. Despite the pleasance surroundings that she was in right now, Marry knew that this was a holding room just like the holding rooms that were inside police stations. So Marry prepare herself to be grilled by these people to that point that she would break down for them to give them the information that they wanted her to give to them.

When there were in there the person that let her here, that she assume was Fred sat down across from her.

"Hello, my name is Fred Collenia," he said. "Who are you?"

"Miss Marry Sanderous," answered Marry.

"I would like to cut the point," he started.

"Thank you, I personally don't like the run-a-round and I would love to tell you why I am here," said Marry.

"Okay, why are you here?" He asked.

"I here to talk to Dr. McTze about his discovery," said Marry.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because you know like the rest of the people that read the local newspaper about the Jewels that were found in South America, Dr. McTze only found three of what he think were fourth jewels that were inside of that temple. I have fourth jewel that he is looking for," answered Marry.

"Do you know how many people have claimed to have the fourth jewel every since that article was ran. Do you take as a fool?" He asked.

"No, I don't Mr. Collenia, but I can swear on my Mother's Grave that I am telling the truth that this thing is as real as you and me," said Marry.

"Okay, if you are telling the truth, how did you come into ownership of this jewel?" Asked Fred.

Marry didn't want to tell him about the Digital World, because it seem to her that he was the type of person that wouldn't believe that. So it was time to make a believable lie about this jewel, with that it was time to use her family's name.

"It was pass down to me from my dead mother," answered Marry.

"Who is your family," he said.

"The Nelson Family," answered Marry.

"Okay, what are you trying to said to me that you are the Daughter of Jarvis Nelson," he started.

"Yes, but I changed my name because of something that happen that made me what to break away from my family and that is something that I do not care to go into right now. So don't even ask about it," snapped Marry.

"Do you know how that sounds?" Asked Fred.

"No, how dose it sound," answered Marry.

"It sound like a load of crap, and I tell you why. Because of one thing you don't have the same last name as Nelson, you last name is Sanderous and I might be the smartest person in the world, but I know for a fact that if there are two people with two different last names aren't from the same family. Also you don't know for sure if your claims are right, so you better start telling me the truth about why you are here and are you will find yourself in a holding cell in a police station," said Fred.

Hearing that Marry couldn't believe what he was charging her with, lying about all of this and she also didn't like the tone that Fred was giving to her right now.

"I don't like the tone that you are giving me right now, and I can tell that I am telling the truth about my family and that thing, if you don't believe me. Ask Dr. McTze to check to see if that thing is real and if isn't real than you won't see or hear of me every again," said Marry.

Fred didn't say anything about this and Marry didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing for her. At least she knew for now that she wasn't going to the local police station about what she just did right here.

Lee McTze, the 28-year-old, Irish-English Doctor was busy working in his lab, which was off limits to the General Public. He was trying all of the known test on these jewels to find out what they were and the first test was the Carbon Dating to find out how old these Jewels were and he found out that they were as old as the Aztecian civilization was. That was something that didn't surprise the Doctor, that was because there were discovery like this before. So it was time to go to another test and that was to take a closer look at the jewel under the microscope to see the crystalline structure that made up this Jewel.

"Okay, let's see what you are made out," said McTze. With that he look through microscope and when he did that he found out that this jewel was different from any other jewel that he had seen before. The crystalline structure of the jewel look like that it was like was machine-like, but it also like structure look like that it was living.

"Kate, you better take a look at this," said McTze.

Kate, the their expect on jewels walked were McTze was at. "Sure."

Kate did that and just like McTze she was surprise at what she was looking at. She also saw that the structure of the jewel look like that it was made out something that look like that it was a living machine. After that Kate took a look at McTze.

"Have you ever seen anything like that before?" Asked McTze.

"Once, before," answered Kate.

"Where?" Asked McTze.

"From a TV show that was called Neo Genesis Evangelion," said Kate.

"What? I never heard of it, when did it air?" Asked McTze.

"I'm not surprise that you haven't heard of it, it you not a fan of Japanese Animation, if you are then you would of heard of it, than you would know what is all about," answered Kate.

"Okay, so it one of those Japanese Anime shows, what dose it have to do with this structure of this Jewel?" Asked McTze.

"Okay, there was an Angel, the bad guys of the show, that attacked the show's main computer and during the process of the attack the Angel Evolved into a living computer. The structure that this Jewel has is the same as the structure that Angel had when it evolved into that living computer," answered Kate.

"I never thought that you love with Japanese Anime would of help you in your life. What dose this all mean?" Asked McTze.

"Honestly, I don't really know, but I have to guess that it has to do something with those pictures that we saw, with those things that look like huge robots," said Kate.

After that McTze took another look at the structure of the jewel and once again the strange computer-like structure puzzled him. Seeing the strange structure of the jewel for the second time, Lee got a little bit of a whack theory about all of this in his head. His theory was that the computer-like structure that was located inside of the jewel would be turned on when it was place on the skin of a human being. When that happen the thing that look like it was a computer would start a program that somehow would turn the person's flesh and blood into that thing was drawing on the walls of that ancient temple.

"Lee, what up?" Asked Kate.

McTze didn't do anything to Kate's question.

"I know that look of yours, you on to something, tell me," said Kate.

McTze once again got up from the microscope to take a look at Kate, who he first thought that her love of Anime would never help them in the long.

"You are right, I am on something right now and do you want to hear it, it a little strange, but it the best that I can think of right now," answered McTze.

"So, let's hear it," said Kate.

"Okay, I think that the computer-like structures that are located inside of that jewel would be turned on when it was place on the skin of a human being. When that happen the thing that look like it was a computer would start a program that somehow would turn the person's flesh and blood into the things that are located on the walls of the ancient temple that we were in," answered McTze.

Kate didn't say anything with that and McTze took that as a bad sign that his theory was off-the-wall, that it didn't have any based in fact and that was something that would be seen in a SF show.

"I knew it, you don't approve of it, it off-the-wall," said McTze.

"I didn't said that, Lee. I just trying to let this all sink in right now. I do think that you do have a good and decent working theory on this, but I think you should hold bad on this theory into you get some more facts that will even support or discredit your theory," said Kate.

"So what are you saying?" Asked McTze.

"I am saying that I will support any and all of your action," said Kate.

"Thank you, but I will hold back on my wild theory, until something comes up," said McTze.

After that Lee McTze started to walk out of the room.

"Doctor, where are you going?" Asked another one of the personal.

"I am getting something to eat," answered McTze.

With that everybody let the McTze go and get something to eat.

With Marry gone, the crowd of people that seemed to be a little lively, found them clam down. So with that they found out that the only thing that they could do was to pay for their General Admission. Among the crowd of people were Daemon and Alex Rosewater, who also paid for their General Admission to get into the building and the two of them got into the building without no questions ask because of what the two of them look like. Alex Rosewater was human despite the fact that he was from another world and Daemon used his powers of the underworld which he control to make himself look human, even if he didn't lie. He much preferred his Digimon form, but Alex told him that if he did that, he wouldn't be allowed to enter into this place.

When they entered into the main hall of the building, like the rest of the other people did and like so many of the rest of the people there, they went their own separated ways. Some of the people look like they knew where they were going and while others look like that they were waiting for the rest of their group to meet up with them. For Alex and Daemon, they wanted to know what place that they could do to talk about their plans and what just happen a couple of minutes ago. Like the rest of the other people that were in the crowd, they knew that Marry had the Fourth Jewel in her ownership.

"How did she come across that thing?" Asked Daemon.

"I don't know, but I think it has to do with her trip in the Digital World, I think that was when she found the Fourth Jewel, but the question is how that got into that world," answered Alex.

"We will find that out, our best bet right now, is to get to know this place so you we will know the quickest way to get out of this place when we take the three other Jewels that were discovered by that team," said Daemon.

"Agree," said Alex.

With that the two of them started strolled around the building, most people thought that there were two friends that wanted to take a visit to this place. Unknown to them all that was the furthermost thing in their mind right now and they also didn't know was that the two of them had just past by where Marry was.

If the two of them did know that Marry was there, it wouldn't matter to them because she was a small fry in the grand scheme of things. While she was a pain for them, she would be a waste of their efforts it they did want to remove her from their sights and the only thing that she had that did matter to them right now was the blue Jewel that she had with her right now.

Back at the hotel, Roger had called a meeting of Kari, Joe, Izzy, Tai, Davis, Ken, T.K., Mimi, Matt, Sora, Cody, and Yolie. They all came to him room.

"I can assume that both Tai and Izzy have told you about the newspaper article about what is in this city," said Roger.

"Yes, he did," said Matt that answered for the entire group.

"Good job, as you well know Izzy and Tai thinks this might be the way where Alex and Daemon are here," said Roger.

"Yes, why are the Jewels important, we all know that they were in some ancient temple that was done in South America. It seems that Alex has a bit of a fancy toward the gemstones of this world," said Davis.

"Davis, this is serious and spot acting like a fool. If you know your history about gemstones many ancient people thought them to be scared and have mystical powers," said Izzy.

"Yes, that is true, I've heard stories about them," said Yolie. "They were believe to help people in health, wealth, business matters, and help people from avoiding injury while they were fighting hand-to-hand."

"Despite the fact that most of their beliefs are base on falsehoods," said Ken.

"Not so, many stories no matter how out there, are base on some type of fact. I should know I fought something that was in a story," said Roger.

"What is the point?" Asked Ken.

"The point is, Ken, that these Jewels that were found in the temple, might actually be the real thing, they might have some type of magical power in them, but what? That is something that we will have to fine out," answered Roger.

Hearing that, Ken was a little socked at the tone of voice that Roger had toward him and with that he became to think that somehow Roger had found out about his past. Roger somehow knew that he was the Digimon Emperor, the one person that cause so much harm in the Digital World, despite the fact that he was a pawn in a much bigger game. From the actions that he saw and hear about Roger, that despite that, Roger still might think him guilty of what had happen in that world. He had funny feelings that Roger would consider that just a technically, a loophole in the long run.

"Hey, take it easy, on Ken, he had a rough life when he was young," said Davis.

"Oh, I know that, you bigger brother, Sam die…" started Roger. After that move closer to Ken. "Just because you wanted him to go away because your were jealous of your brother, just because he was getting more attention than you were getting. You felt like that nobody was paying any attention to you. That is so lame, you know. If you felt like nobody was paying any attention you, you should of spoke up about what was going on with you. No, you kept quiet about it, until you wish your brother to be gone, and then you got your wish, he was killed," said an angrily Roger.

Ken knew what Roger was talking about, he was talking what had happen to his past. If Roger knew about that, then he would know that he was the Digimon Emperor, the inhumane self-proclaimed leader of the Digi World. He would know about all of the evils that he did to the place and the Digimon themselves, the thing that was climax of his evil was the creation of Kimeramon.

"I am right?" Asked Roger.

Ken reminded quiet about this. He didn't know what to say to this, Ken knew that Roger was right about this, but he didn't want to tell him straight up about this. For he was afraid of what Roger would do to him if he had confirmed these facts about his past.

"Take it easy on him," said T.K.

After that Roger shot T.K. a stare that could turn water into ice. "I am surprise at you, T.K. You are the one that clearly showed to me your hatred toward the one that called himself 'The Digimon Emperor'."

"Yes, that is correct, I didn't like Digimon Emperor for all of the things that he did to the poor Digimon and what he also did to Patamon. What is your point at all of this?" Asked T.K.

"My point is, that he one that is known as Ken, was also the Digimon Emperor," said Roger.

"News false, we already know that. Tell us something that we don't know," said Davis.

"Davis, that playing with fire," said Veemon.

"I know that this is old news, and don't mind the fact that Ken was the Digimon Emperor. For I know that he has accepted the fact of all of the evils that he did and he is also trying to atom for all of the wrongs that he did. What I didn't like that you didn't tell me when we first meet! I don't like when people are dishonest to me and most of the time when they are, I ask them to leave me alone. I just would like to know why didn't you tell me!" Demanded Roger.

"We chose to kept that information away from you, because of what you might do to Ken, when you found out that Ken and the Digimon Emperor where the same person," said Davis.

"We didn't want to have that happen to Ken," said Kari.

"What? You were afraid of what I would do? I wouldn't have done anything to him if you told me that is he trying to make up for all of his wrongs that he did to the Digital World. Yes, I would have been a little leery of him, but from what I have seen of him, I would of thought of him a good person despite what had happen to him. I know that he was used because of what happen to his older brother, that he was used as a pawn in the great scheme of things," said Roger.

"So, what the verdict?" Asked Sora.

"Again, I didn't like the little act that you play with me, but her action, Ken have proven that you are a good person that went down the wrong path. I can overlook that mistake, so don't worry I won't do something like that again to you," said Roger.

"Do, I have your word on that," said Ken.

"Yes, you have my word on it. I promise to you, that I won't do that you," answered Roger.

"Roger's promises are something that you can put your faith into, because they are something that he never breaks. He would rather die than break a promise," said Dorothy.

Hearing that a drop of sweat formed on Roger's hear that from Dorothy's mouth. She was right that he rarely broke promises, but he was never that serious about keeping a promise to somebody.

"Okay, with that gone, what do you suggest our next move be?" Asked Tai.

"I think that we should go to that place that was in the Newspaper," said Roger.

With that, Izzy knew that it was time to bring up the directions to get that place that was located in Center City section of this city.

* * *

Marry was still being held in the security office despite the fact that her integrator, Fred Collenia had left the office to check about something. Being all by herself, Marry knew that it was the type time that a person could get into trouble, but Marry wasn't a type of person that would do something like that. She knew that his desk was out limits to her and if she went through his desk just because it was there, it would look bad for her. So she knew that her best bet was stay away from the desk.

"How are you doing?" Asked Nivernmon.

"Nivernmon! I told you to kept your mouth shut!" Shouted Marry.

"Sorry, I just want to know how you are doing right now, with that guy acting all big and mean to you, despite the fact that I know that you are telling the truth," said Nivernmon.

"Again, Nivernmon will you be quiet. I don't need your two cents in this, I am already in a tight spot right now. I don't want to explain to this guy what you are, that you are a Digimon that is from the Digi World. I don't think that guy will believe that either," said Marry.

Hearing that Nivernmon didn't say anything to that, she let her actions to the talking to her. Marry took that as a sign of being herself in this and because of that Marry look around the place to see what was going on. In doing that she found out that somebody had the TV on and on the TV there was a news program. While Marry couldn't hear what they were talking about, she could read the captions that somebody had put on and if that didn't help her, the channel had the stupid scrolling text messages that was named "The Crawl". Most of the time Marry didn't read "The Crawl", the thing that she paid attention to what was on the screen, but right now, it was her best bet on getting up to date information about the world.

In doing that, Marry found out that the world was having strange weather patterns that were happening all over the world, with snow in the major deserts, some of the polar ice caps were starting to melt, and in other places some of the warmest days in the coldest places on Earth. These same style of strangest that happen four years ago when Tai's group of Digidestined first went into the Digital World. Seeing that, Marry knew that balance that was between her world, the Digital World, and the world that Roger live was started to deteriorate. Knowing that weather was the most sensitive to changes on the global scale, Marry knew that this was the first sign of the crumbling balance between these worlds. Marry also knew that most people wouldn't be able to see this sign, the only people that would see this were people that knew how weather would react to this. Also seeing this, Marry knew that this was just first of a series of events that would in the long run merge all three of these worlds into one, unless they found a way to stop this.

This isn't good, and most of the run of the mill people doesn't know what is going on here. This is only the first step of a series of events that will in the long run result in our world merging with both the Digital World and the world that Roger calls home thought Marry. I have to do something to stop this, but I can't do a dam thing sitting in the place and waiting for this person to come back.

Feeling helpless, Marry turned her head away from the TV and to her Digimon. She hoped that Nivernmon would be able to help her with this and she found out that Nivernmon couldn't help her with this feeling of totally helpless that she was feeling right now. Seeing that, Marry knew that the only thing that she could do to get this feeling out of her was to do at least do something to help.

I hate this feeling! Marry yelled to herself as she watched the other people come and go. Unknown to Marry, McTze had just pass by after he grade something to eat and when he did that he had notice that his collage friend, Marry Sanderous was in the security office. Seeing that McTze was curious why she was there, he knew that Marry wasn't the type of person that would do something that would require her to be in this place.

"Marry," said McTze.

Marry turned her head in the direction of the voice and Marry didn't expect to see Lee McTze there. When she saw him, she was totally surprise seeing him there.

"Lee? Is that you?" Asked Marry.

"Who else would it be?" Answered McTze. "What did you do, get in here?"

"It is a long story, Lee, but I would like to know how are you doing?" Asked Marry.

"I am doing fine, I would like to know how are you doing, you being in New York City when the attack came…" started McTze.

"I am fine, like the rest of New York I was socked at what I saw on TV and outside on that day…" started Marry and after that Marry's voice started to crack at what she saw on that day. Seeing their planes slam into the buildings and bust into flames was something that upset her. It upset her so much that Marry had to stop what she was doing and take a breather. With that Marry knew that she had haven't been able to put what happen on that day behind her and she thought that she did. That proved her so wrong.

"Marry, are you okay?" Asked McTze. "I sorry about that, I didn't know that it affected you so much."

"I am fine, I am as socked as you are that what happen on Sept. 11 still affect me the way that it just did there," answered Marry.

"Hey, don't feel bad, it happen almost two mouths ago, you can't be expected to be completely over what happen there," said McTze. "Not to sound to insensitive here, but I would like to know how you got here."

"Okay, I try to ask for so that you could see something that I have, but they wouldn't let me because of what happen on Sept 11. So I pull out my thing, but the person that was at the ticket window wouldn't let me see you, despite the fact that I had what you were looking for, plus I also had the crowd on my side as well. Many of them agree with me that I had the Fourth Jewel that was missing in the Temple that you and your team where in. Even with that he still wouldn't let me in, he went up to the point to call in security and when that happen he brought me to this office. He started to question me about why I was here and why did I cause so much trouble in the ticket window. I told him that I was about of the Nelson Family, despite the fact that I don't share the same last name," answered Marry.

"By the way, you never really told me the story behind that. Why did you change your last name?" Asked McTze.

"That is personal, and like before that is something that I don't want to get into right now, but I will tell you when the time is right and right now the time isn't right," answered Marry.

McTze accepted it, but he was still curious about why Marry did something like that. He knew that if he came from a family like that, he would have some pride about carrying that name. It seemed that Marry had different options about that name.

"Okay, now can I see the Fourth Jewel," he said, trying to hid his zest for it.

Despite the fact that Lee was trying to hide his zest for looking at something, she knew that this was like candy to him. "All right then, here it is." Then Marry pull out her Digi Jewel and when she did that the artificial light of the room caught one of the cuts of the jewel and made the thing shine.

McTze almost dropped to the floor at the sight of this, she was right, that was the Fourth Jewel that was missing from the Temple. Now, he wanted to know how did the Jewel come into Marry's ownership and he also wanted to know did Marry knew the strange structure that was inside of the Jewel that he had discovered with the others. Did she know the used the thing? A million questions ran through the mind of McTze and McTze almost lost himself in his sea of questions, but McTze pull himself out of the drowning sea of questions.

"So what do you think? I am right?" Asked Marry.

"It appeared that you are right, but I will have to take a closer look at the Jewel, to see if you are correct on your guess. If you are right, and again I state that if you are right, I will have to ask you a couple of questions about it, like how did you acquire the thing, and do you know how it works. You understand don't you?" Asked McTze.

"Yes, I understand, I would have did the same thing if I was in your shoes. We just have one problem with that," said Marry.

"What is that?" Asked McTze.

"You are going to have to convince the Mr. Fred Collenia, that you know me and I not some craze crackpot that knows you," answered Marry.

"Oh, Fred, don't worry about him, I talk to him later, right now I need you and that Jewel of yours," said McTze. "Now, c'mon, a time is wasting."

"What about Fred?" Asked Marry again.

"I said, don't worry about him. I said that I will take care of it, I will, now c'mon," said McTze.

Hearing that and trusting Lee McTze, Marry went for it. She got out of the chair and went to picked up Nivernmon. She did and when she did Lee McTze looked at her with a confused look on his face.

"What is that thing?" Asked McTze.

"Another story, that I will tell you on the way," said Marry.

"Oh," said McTze. "I have a funny feeling that this is going to be very interesting,"

"You got that right," said Marry.

After that Marry with Nivernmon in her arms, and McTze started to walk down the halls of the building. Unknown to them, the two of them, they were being watched by Daemon. Daemon was waiting for the right moment to strike, and he knew that it had to be a moment of weakness.

As Marry, Nivernmon, and McTze were walking down a hall that was located inside of building, the other part of the group that included, Roger, Dorothy, Tai, Matt, Sora, Izzy, Mimi, Joe, Kari, T.K, Davis, Yolie, Ken, Cody, and their respected Digimon were riding a SEPTA bus down that was driving down one of the local streets of this city. Since none of them were familiar with the city, they were all looking around the place and for all of the Digidestined expect for Mimi the city of Philadelphia was like any other major city with a few exceptions. One of them was the design of the buildings that were located on either side of the street. So for them it was nothing new for them, but for Roger and Dorothy it was something that was new. Both of them this city that was called Philadelphia was a totally departure from the city that they knew as Paradigm. The biggest different between these two cities was the design of the buildings, they were a mixed of old and new, some of them had statues, while others were just bare bone structures.

The SEPTA bus entered into a major highway that was known as Schuylkill Expressway and by the amount of traffic and cars that were on the road, Roger thought that the name of this Highway was wrong title for this place. While they were moving on the road, it was at speed that Roger would think that an expressway would be built for.

"I wonder, would one called this place an 'Expressway' when the speed that we are traveling at, aren't the ones that would be logical of an expressway?" Asked Dorothy.

"You got me on that one. I have given up figuring out this place. Did you know that I was watching something on TV that was talking about something that is called 'The Olympics' that is taking place in other city that is called Salt Lake City," answered Roger.

One of the people that was also traveling on the bus overheard the two of them talking about the Schuylkill Expressway and how neither of the two of them could understand why this highway was given that name. Hearing that, he knew that these two people weren't from this area of the country, if the two of them were, they would know the history of this highway. So, he decided to enlighten them about this highway. He turned around to face the two of them and when he did he could see that both of them were dress all in black and that was something that wasn't out of the norm in this place.

"Excess, but I couldn't help overheard your talking about Schuylkill Expressway," he started.

"Yes, what about it?" Asked Roger. "I would like to know why is this highway is called this when it dose not seem to be an 'Expressway'?"

"First of all, what is your idea of an 'Expressway," he said.

"A highway where you can travel at high speed and can get to point A to B in shortest amount of time," answered Roger.

"Good, that whatever else considered an Expressway, but you have to understand this, the Schuylkill Expressway was built in the 1940's when there were less cars on the road right now, they didn't have the hindsight or the vision to see that many Americans love their cars," he said.

"You point is," said Roger.

"My point is, that the Schuylkill Expressway, is handing more traffic than it was original built for. If this road was built today, it would never of been built the way that it was back then," he answered.

"Oh, if that is true, why don't they update it, to make it handed the amount of traffic that it dose right now," said Roger.

"Can't, they don't have the room to do so, when you leave Center City, space becomes limited," he said.

"That is strange," said Dorothy.

"Nah, that is just one of the little quarks of this region, that most of us have learn to dealt with," he said. After that he took a quick look at the road and he noticed that the two lanes of traffic hand turned into three lanes of traffic.

"As you can see now, we are getting closer to Center City and because of that an extra lane of traffic has been added, but even with that you will still get traffic jams here," he paused to take a look at his watch and with that he saw the time. "By now, it's the being of Rush Hour, where every that works in the city are getting off from work and heading back to their homes."

"Thank you," said Roger.

"No, prob.," he said and after that he turned his attention back to road.

After that the bus continues on its route through the city, during that trip it made a stop at 30th Street Station and a couple stops in the city. Roger and the rest of the group didn't know where the end of the line was until the bus driver made the announcement where the line ended and where other lines would connect with this one bus line. When they all hear that they knew that this was their stop on this line and because of that they all got out of the there.

Outside, they all could tell that this city was indeed a major city with the huge cravenness walls that had surrounded them all. Even with that they walked to where their next bus stop was located. In a matter of seconds that other bus can to pick them up and with that they were off to their destination.

Once again, on the bus everybody got another good view of this city and they could see that this city had the same problems of any big city, traffic jams and people that look like that they could have their own cards were walking on the sidewalk. While others still were taking Taxies that would get them to their destination.

While on the bus, Roger had a feeling like somebody had stab in back with a knife and with that Roger knew that they were getting closer to where Daemon and Alex were located at. While Roger was trying to hide the feeling of his, everybody knew that something was up with him.

"Roger are you okay?" Asked Kari.

"No, I just got the feeling like I was stab in the back with a knife and because of that I know that I am getting closer to the two of them," answered Roger.

"Izzy, what the status?" Asked Tai.

"We are getting closer to it," answered Izzy.

Kari looked at her half-brother and could tell that whatever he was going through right now, it look like that it was extremely painful for him. She wished that there was something that she could do for him to lessen the pain that he was going through.

"Is there anything that we can do for you?" Asked Kari.

Roger struggled through the pain that she was experiencing right now that seemed to be getting worst and more worst as time pass by. It seemed that it wouldn't go away, and Roger honestly thought that he was destined to have this pain for the rest of his life.

"No, you can't do anything for me, this is something that I have to learn to deal with on my own," struggled Roger.

Focus. I have to focus. This is pain, and pain can be control, I have to learn to control this pain Roger told to himself. He knew that everybody was looking at him with faces that were worry about his well being, but he also knew that he could hold his own and this was no difference. Despite that, Roger kept on repeating the same thing over again over again.

At first, the simple phases seem to do nothing for the pain that that he was going through, but that didn't stop Roger from trying to conquer this latest foe. Roger knew that most normal people that were put in the same position that he was in right now would give into the pain and let the pain take control of them. Roger wasn't that type of person, he would never give up, he would always fight for something or make sure that he would finished things that he had started and it didn't matter what it would be. If it were something that he started, it would be something that he would finish. This pain that he was feeling was no different, it started with him, and he knew that it would stop with him. It was that type of mentality of his that gain him, his famous reputation throughout the city, of a person that would never give up on anything that was present to him. Also this mentality of his also got him into trouble a couple of times, but most of time it didn't. With that mentality, he slowly felt the pain that was inside of him start to get lessen, but this small victory of his didn't stop him. He continue with the same phase and it seemed that every time that he repeat the phase to himself, the pain lessen and with that Roger could guess on how many times he would need to repeat that phase. When that happen, then he found out that the pain that seemed to be so unbearable for him, was almost gone. With one more repeat of the phase he found out that the pain was gone.

With that gone he looked at the faces of the others.

"Are you okay?" Asked Kari.

"I told you, that I can do it on my own," answered Roger. "Yes, I am okay."

"What was that?" Asked Izzy.

"I can't put what happen to me in words, words wouldn't do it justice, but the best way that I can describe it. It was like a pointer, telling me where the evil was located at," answered Roger.

"It almost like a sixth sense," said Kari.

"Yes, it is, but unlike that, I know for a fact that my feelings are real and something that you should put good faith into when I get ones of these feelings or mine," said Roger.

"We will take note on that," said Tai.

The bus driver announced the next stop and when they heard that, they all knew that it was time for them to get off the bus, which they did. The group walked up the building that was known as the Academy of Natural Sciences.

Roger looked up at the building with a harsh face. "There are in there, I can feel it."

I know that you are in there, Alex and I will make dam sure that you won't get your hands on those Jewels. They belong here and I won't let you take them back with you back to Paradigm vowed Roger.

While Roger didn't have a clear idea what the Jewels were, he had a funny feeling that they were important. If Alex was allowed to get them back to his world, it wouldn't be good for any of the worlds that he knew of, and what about the rest of the other worlds that where out there that they didn't know about. He had funny feelings that they were also threaten by the actions and the in actions that were taking place here.

Marry, Nivernmon, and McTze had reached where the lab was at, in there, everybody knew that McTze was back, which wasn't that uncommon to happen. This time, McTze wasn't returning by himself with something to eat, he was returning back to the lab with an extra person and a Digimon.

"Dr. McTze who is this person?" Asked somebody.

"This is Marry Sanderous, a friend of mine for collage days," answered McTze.

"Ah, this is totally against policy, you don't know for sure if this is the person that you claim she is. What important dose she have here?" Asked the same person.

"I know for sure that this is Marry Sanderous, and she claims to have Fourth Jewel that was missing in the Temple," answered McTze.

When he said that all of the activity that was in the lab stops, if a pen would drop in this place it would have been noticed and heard. Nobody in this room was expecting this to happen and it was the sock value of McTze statement that had stunned everybody in this room. When they heard that, it didn't matter if McTze had broken policy in bring this person here, they had what they wanted and that was the only thing that matter to them right now.

"Are you sure?" Asked another person.

"We don't know for sure, but I will have to do some tests on the Jewel to see if her claims are correct," answered McTze. "Kate, you can do the honor."

Kate, that was still in state of sock with the news, managed to make her way to the microscope where Marry's Jewel was place. Kate looked into the lens of the machine.

"If your Jewel is the Fourth One, what do you plan to do it with it?" Asked McTze.

"I plan to kept it, because it was in my family years and I don't want to take it out of my family," answered Marry. Also the thing helps Nivernmon reach her final form, Metal Nivernmon Battle Mode and with Alex and Daemon in this world right now, I have a good feeling that we are going to need her in that form added Marry to herself only.

While McTze, Kate, and the others that were in this room right now were scientist, people with open minds, would accepted the fact that she need for her Digimon to make her reach her final form of Metal Nivernmon Battle Mode. She didn't want to take a risk that none of these people would believe what she was talking about.

"Okay, I can understand that, but what will happen when you die, if that happen, your Jewel would be lost to the world. Do you want that to happen?" Asked McTze.

"No, I don't want that to happen, okay at my depth, this place can have the Fourth Jewel, and yes you can quote me on that," answered Marry.

"That good," said McTze.

Marry just rolled her eyes at this. The only thing that she care right now was to make sure that she would get her Digi Jewel back and to confirm her guest that her Digi Jewel was the Fourth Jewel that was missing in that temple that he had discovered in South America. She didn't care if the thing would be lost to the world. That was something that would have to worry about when all of this was all over with.

"Oh my God!" Yelled Kate.

"What?" Asked both McTze and Marry.

"You are right, this Jewel of yours, is the Fourth One that we saw missing in the Temple," answered Kate.

"Jesus Christ!" Yelled another one.

With that everybody turned around to take a look at what was going on around them. When that happen, Daemon knew that was the moment of weakest that he wanted to have. With that he disappeared from the view of Alex and with that Alex knew that he was going to take the Jewels from this place.

* * *

Before anybody could do anything the steal doors of the lab were busted over. The sound of the steal hitting the walls of this place made everybody turn their attention of where all of the noise was going on. Everybody except Marry and Nivernmon knew what was going on, Daemon was here. While everybody was staring at the smoke, Marry picked up her Jewel and place in back into the inside pocket of her shirt. With that, Marry tried to get where the rest of the other Jewels were located at, but she stop by fire. Seeing that, Nivernmon sprang into action.

Seconds after that the sprinklers that were inside of the place that were program to put out fire, turn on.

"Nivernmon!" Shouted Marry.

"I am fine, but I know who is coming," answered Nivernmon.

"Daemon," answered Marry.

"Yeah," said Nivernmon.

"Marry what are you doing?" Asked McTze.

"Get out of here!" Yelled Marry.

"Why?" Asked McTze.

"Because there is a Demon out there and he wants these Jewels," answered Marry. "And I not going let him take them from this place."

"WHAT?! A Demon, are you serious? They aren't real!" Yelled McTze.

"They are real, when they come out of the Digital World! Now, GO! Get the rest of the people out here," ordered Marry.

"Digital World, are you talking about that thing that was on the sky a couple of years ago. If that is correct, that little blue thing that came to life is a Digimon," said another one of McTze's team member.

"Yes, I will explain every thing when this is over with, but for the love of God, get your asses the hell out of this place!" Yelled Marry.

With that, everybody listened to Marry, with the exception of her friend, Lee McTze.

"Lee, don't stick around and play the hero, there is nothing that you can do to stop him," said Marry.

"And you can, I highly question it. You better get out of here as well," said McTze.

"Yes I can-" started Marry.

Marry never got the rest of the sentence off, because Daemon had made his appearance to this place. When that happen Marry knew what was about to happen, he was about to fire one of his attack at them.

"Enough! Evil Inferno!" Yelled Daemon.

Hearing that and then she saw flames of fire we shot in their direction. Marry reacted without thinking and leaped out of the way of the fire, taking McTze down with her on the ground. In doing that the two of them knock down one of the temp shelves down on the ground. All of the items that were on the shelve were knock down on the ground and if they were made out of glass they all shattered. One of the items that fall down the ground was a box that contained the other two Jewels and because of that the two of them were on the ground.

"Lee!" Shouted Kate.

"Get out here! Marry will take care of me," answered McTze.

Everybody did and to make sure that they did the two of them look behind them and found out that they were all gone. After that Marry scooped two Jewels out of the view of Daemon, but she knew that Daemon knew that she was hiding them.

"Foolish human, give me the Jewels," ordered Daemon.

"Never!" Defied Marry.

"It is your destiny," said Daemon. "If you didn't defined me, I would of just took the Jewels and that is all, but now I will still take the Jewels. With one exception, I am going to kill you all."

Daemon started to cup his hands and with that Marry knew that Daemon was priming himself to fire his Evil Inferno attack at them.

"No you not!" Shouted Nivernmon. Seconds after that Nivernmon rammed Daemon right in his head.

"Nivernmon, what are you doing?" Asked Marry.

"Protecting you," answered Nivernmon.

"Foolish! What do you think you are doing? Taking on me, a Mega-Level Digimon that controls the fires of the underworld of the Digital World," said Daemon.

"I don't care, you can called yourself god of the Digital World, but I not going to let your hurt my friend!" Yelled Nivernmon.

"Waste of effort," said Daemon and then without breaking a sweat Daemon picked up Nivernmon and throw her across the room.

"NIVERNMON!" Cried Marry.

Seconds after that, Marry's Digivice fired up.

"Nivernmon Digivolve to…" started Nivernmon.

"…Aggymon," ended Aggymon. Out of the light a warrior-like Digimon appeared. Unlike Metal Aggymon who had some metal armor on her body and wings that were also made from metal. Aggymon had skin flaps under her skin that allowed her to use the sky as her battlefield. That was the big between these two, rest of Aggymon was the same as Metal Aggymon, her clothes were also the same as Metal Aggymon. The only thing that was different from these two was the white metal rod that she was holding her hands right now.

"What is it now?" Asked Daemon.

"Me!" Shouted Aggymon. "Hyper Blade Flux!"

Seconds after that the white metal rod of hers glowed yellow and out of the rod came a yellow beam of energy. Daemon was forced across the floor, but the distance that he was throw was small, but it was enough to allow the two of them get out of there and they did. When they did that Marry picked up the two Jewels that were on the ground.

Daemon quickly recovered from the attack, but not quick enough for he notice that Marry, McTze, and Aggymon were out of the room. Daemon was angered at them, but he found out that the battle wasn't a total lose because he noticed that in their haste, they had forgot one of them, it was the black Jewel. While this wasn't want he wanted to have happen, he knew that it was better than nothing, plus he still had a chance to get the other two out of their hands.

With that Daemon disappeared from sight.

Outside of the building the rest of McTze's team had made it out of the building, having no clue if Lee McTze and his friend had survived the attack by what Marry had called "Digimon Demon". The only thing that they knew was that they were hearing fire alarms and with that it would only be a matter of time when the Fire Department and the Police Department would come here and investigated what was going on. Even with that, they all could see that rest of the people that were inside of the building at the time of attack was now being evacuated from the building. They could see that they were either leaving through the main entrance or the fire exits that under normal days would be locked so that people wouldn't open up the door either by mistake or on purpose. One of them was Alex Rosewater, which blended with the rest of the average citizens of this city. It was this fact that Alex had, that allowed him to past the some of the Digidestined that haven't seen him before.

"Do you think that Lee and Marry got out of there?" Asked Kate.

"I don't know, Kate," answered one of them.

"I hope they did, Jean," said Kate.

Seconds after they saw that, Marry and McTze ran out of the door that they had walked out of. They all could see that Marry's and McTze's clothing were stained with white, but despite that they were okay. The next thing that they noticed was a person that looks like they had just step out of an epic fantasy film. That had wizards, warriors, and dragons fighting each other to save a world from danger or being destroyed by evil.

"Are you okay?" Asked Kate.

"I am find, thanks to Marry and her Digimon," answered McTze.

"What did you say? A 'Digimon'?" Asked Kate.

"Yes, Aggymon is a Digimon, but don't worry she is a good Digimon, not like Daemon was. So you don't have to worry about her attacking you just because she can," answered Marry.

"Also, I have a code of honor that states that I can't attack an opponent that had no real chance in winning," said Aggymon.

"That is good, and who is this 'Daemon' that you are talking about?" Asked McTze.

"He was that hooded creature with horns and wings that attacked us with his Evil Inferno attack," answered Marry.

After that everybody hear the shrill sound of the police and fire siren. With that they all knew that police and fire departments were coming in this place to either take care of the fire or interview the survivors of the fire. They all knew that the fire department wouldn't have a hard time putting out the fire, but with the police that were going to set up interviews, they knew that they had their work cut out. This was because some of the people that got out of the building let the area to go back to their normal life. While that wasn't a crime to do, the police didn't like the fact that people would do something like that. The police like the fact that people would stay around until they came.

They all heard the loud voice that was being broadcast over a bullhorn and they listen to the message that stated that they all had to step away from the building to allowed the fire fighters to put out the fire. In a matter of seconds the fire fighters that were dress in their full gear race to put out of the fire and seeing that Marry knew that this fire department was doing it job for this city. Now it was time to talk to the Police Department about what they had seen.

"Aggymon…" started Marry.

"You don't need to tell me," answered Aggymon and in a matter of seconds the Warrior-Type Digimon disappeared from their sight.

While McTze, Marry, and the other team members were being quested by the Police Department, Roger and the other Digidestined were watching to their best ably to see what was going on in this place.

"Can you see what is going on?" Asked Tai.

"No, there are too many people blocking me," answered Izzy.

"What about you, Roger?" Asked Kari.

"Let's me see," answered Roger. Seconds after that Roger called on his enhanced vision to see beyond what the others expect for Dorothy could see. He focus on a piece of glass that was acting like a mirror at the angel that he was viewing it and because of that he could see that there were people that were talking to police.

"The police are there, talking to others," answered Roger.

"Do you recognized anybody?" Asked Tai.

Roger took around good look at the people that where there and he didn't recognized anybody that where there. "No."

"That is okay," said Tai.

After that Roger returned his vision back to normal and before he could say anything to what Tai said to them, he got the same feeling of pain that he got before. With that Roger knew that something was up that wasn't normal and without Roger saying that he got that feeling again, everybody knew that he was having that feeling once again. They knew because of his body action, he was acting like a praetor that was hunting his quarry, looking, smelling where it was located at. Waiting for the right moment to strike out at his prey, and then it happen, his prey showed its face to him. When that happen Alex noticed what was going on and because of that he panic, and that was the first time that he had showed that moment of weakest in his entire life. It was that small moment of weakest that Alex had showed was the right time for Roger to strike at him and because of that Roger ran after him at full pace.

But Roger, wasn't the only other one that had seen that, Aggymon, who was on top of one of the building saw it as well. Unlike Roger that was running after him, Aggymon returned back to the street and before Marry could say anything about this, Aggymon graded her and transported her with her when she had returned to the top of the building. It was so fast that nobody that was around Marry could see what just happen to them. For them it was like this, one moment Marry was with them and then another she was gone.

"Aggymon, what the deal?" Asked Marry.

Aggymon didn't say anything, she pointed at the street and she could see that Alex was running. Seeing that, Marry wondered what the hell was going on and then she saw it, Roger was running after him.

"Okay, let go," said Marry.

Seconds after that Marry's crest of Order glowed the sky blue.

"Aggymon Digivolve to…" started Aggymon.

"…Metal Aggymon," ended Metal Aggymon.

After that the Ultimate Level Digimon Metal Aggymon appeared out of the sky blue light and when that happen Marry went on the back of her Digimon. With that the two of them went to sky having no idea that the two of them were noticed by the people that were on the ground.

On the ground, Alex knew that he was being hunted and this was the first time in his entire life that he had the feeling of being scared. He knew that Roger was chasing him and without Daemon to back him up, he thought that Roger would get him.

"That no good, Demon Lord, he had betray me, I knew that I shouldn't of trust him," said Alex.

"Give it up, Rosewater! You aren't going to get out this one!" Shouted Roger.

Rosewater look at where he was at and he could see that Roger was right, he had ran himself into a tight spot, but he still had a way to get out of this. There was a street that was on his left and because of that he knew that he had to run down that street and hope that there were other streets that he could run down. Rosewater started to turn left.

Up in the air, both Metal Aggymon and Marry noticed that he was heading in that direction.

"Metal Aggymon, don't let him escape," said Marry.

"Right," said Metal Aggymon. "Double Sides!" She yelled out her attack and seconds after Metal Aggymon put both of her metal blades together and fired a yellow beam of energy out of the two blades. The yellow beam of energy missed Alex, but that wasn't the reason why Metal Aggymon had fire her attack, her reason was to stop Rosewater from escaping to another street.

Alex Rosewater look ups at the sky and saw who attacked him. He didn't recognize the two of them.

"You haven't meet me, but I know who you are and I can tell you one thing, I won't let you destroy my world," said Marry.

"I could say the same thing about you," answered Alex.

Hearing that, Marry and Metal Aggymon were socked that this guy knew who she was. With that she knew that the sock value that she thought that she had was all gone, she guy knew who she was and because of that she wanted to know how did this guy know who she was. She could swear that the two of them never meet each other before.

"It dose not matter, because I know that your Judgment Day has come and I suggest that you take it like a man, and accept the fact that you have been defeated, and maybe Roger will take it easy on you," said Marry.

Alex looks in the direction of the street and could see that a cloudy haze was starting to form and with that he knew that Daemon was coming to his aide.

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

Marry look in another direction and found out what he was taking about. A mist was started to form and before the two of them could react to it. A stream of fire was shot out of the mist and Metal Aggymon reacted in a way to make sure that Marry wouldn't take the brunt of the attack. Because of that Metal Aggymon took the hit right in the center of her body and that attack made Metal Aggymon fall from the sky.

"This isn't good," said Marry.

Roger saw all of this happen, he knew that he had to make a choice. Go after Alex and let Marry fall on the ground, or prevent Marry from hitting the ground and let Alex escape. Without thinking about it, Roger went to save Marry from hitting the ground, he knew that he would be able to get Alex a next time, but with Marry he knew that she might die if she hits the hard ground of a street payment. He knew that Marry had one life to live and he wouldn't be able to get Marry back to land of the living. So Roger caught Marry. Seconds after that Metal Aggymon hit the hard street payment.

The first thing that Marry did was to see how Metal Aggymon was, she could see that Metal Aggymon was on the ground with a couple carbon scoring on her armor and some of her clothing was ruffed up as well.

"Metal Aggymon are you all right?" Asked Marry.

Metal Aggymon struggled to get up from the ground and when she did that she had more damage to the armor that had made up her helmet. "I think I will be okay."

Marry nodded her head at that and with that she knew that it as time to deal with her surroundings and she found out that she was in the arms of Roger. That was something that she didn't like too much.

"Let me out of here!" Ordered Marry. "Before I hit you, where the sun dose not shine!"

Roger couldn't believe what he was hearing from this person, she was almost killed and she still was as independent as ever. She still had her fighting sprit inside of her despite the fact that both Alex and Daemon, the two that they wanted to stop, had defeated her. Her lost wasn't a gentle one, it was a hard and rough one. A type of fight that Roger knew would demoralize a normal person to the point that they wouldn't want to fight again. It looks like that it didn't matter to Marry, she still wanted to fight and even more with the fact that she was beaten. It seemed to Roger that her defeat was inspiration for her to kept on going.

Roger did what Marry wanted and there were a series of things that she wanted to do. The first thing that she knew that she had to do right now was to see how Metal Aggymon was doing despite the fact that Metal Aggymon had told her that she was okay, she wanted to make sure that she wasn't lying. Metal Aggymon had did this before her, told her that she was all right, but she was lying to make her feel better and because she wanted to continue fighting.

She looked at her body and could see while the damage that was all over her body was extreme, it didn't seem to life threaten to her. With that gone the next thing that she had to do was to face Roger and before she could do that the ground that was under their feet started to shake.

"What the hell?!" Asked Marry.

Marry got her question answered with a huge shadow that was taking the shape of a Digimon that look like to be a combination that was behind a Demon and a something that look like that it would come out of the water. While that shadow was starting to take form, Metal Aggymon was getting up despite the cracks in her armor and the slightly ripped clothing. Metal Aggymon knew who that Digimon was, that thing was Marine Devimon a member of Daemon's Demon Corps.

Metal Aggymon explain things to her without speaking a word, it was her body actions that told Marry what had to be done. The two of them had to go to the Delaware River and fight this Digimon before it could reach land and the two of them did that.

"Who is that?" Asked Marry.

"That is Marine Devimon, a demon of the sea," answered Metal Aggymon.

"This isn't good," said Marry.

"I would have to agree with you," said Metal Aggymon.

Then in a matter of seconds they could see their target, Marine Devimon, a demon of the sea and a member of the Demon Corps. The first thing that Marry noticed was the huge size that Marine Devimon had, it was about as big as four story building. The next thing that she noticed with this Digimon was the all of the demonic features that Marine Devimon had, the black body and horns. This Digimon clearly fit the last part of his name, Devimon, but the other part of his name, Marine that was role was clearly fulfill with the arms that look like they were squid-like. While all of these features made it displeasing to the eyes, there was one thing that the two of them had to pay attention to, his actions. They were telling him that they haven't noticed the two of them and that was good for them, because it meant that they had the element of surprise on their side of the battle.

"Look at him, he haven't noticed us," said Metal Aggymon.

"Yes, we better use this element of surprise that we have right now, before we lose it," said Marry.

"Right," answered Metal Aggymon.

With that the two of them head long into battle with the goal of defeating this Digimon and removing the threat that he presented to this place. If that meant that they would have to kill him, Metal Aggymon would do it without a second thought. For killing Digimon was one of the thought responsibly that they knew that they had to undertake.

Looking up at the trail that both Marry and Metal Aggymon had token was the only thing that Roger could do. He knew that the two of them were well over their head, if they didn't get any help soon, the two of them might be killed. With that Roger knew what he had to do, he had to changed into another one of the other forms that he now had. What would it be? That was the question that needed to be answer, he knew that changing into the Megadeus was much more powerful, but he knew that came at a cost, the speed of that form was a little slow and since he knew that he was fighting something that alive that would hurt him if the fight became a long and draw out fight. Then it might he would have to become the Digimon that Big O was talking about, his true form, but he knew that the two of them would have to agree to used it. Even with that he knew that becoming the Digimon Form was the right choice of action and the only thing that he had to do was to see if Big O would agree with him.

Metal Aggymon was the first one to draw blood in this fight and she did this by striking Marine Devimon in the stomach region of the Demon-type Digimon with her Double Side attack. The attack didn't do any physical damage to the Digimon, but it did what the two of them wanted. Marine Devimon had turned his attention away from the city and to them.

"Darkness Water!" Yelled Marine Devimon and second after that a stream of something that black was shout of the mouth of the Digimon.

Metal Aggymon reacted to the attack by blocking the ink-like attack with her two metal blades. She did that by overlapping each blade and making a x formation. During that attack and defense, Metal Aggymon realize that having Marry on her back was something that was going to hinder rather than help her in this fight. That she had to find a spot to put her down that she knew was safe, but wouldn't be to far away to prevent her from sharing her energy with her to help her Digivolve into her next level.

"Marry, I am going to have to put you down and fight Marine Devimon on my own," said Metal Aggymon.

Marry didn't question Metal Aggymon's choice in this fight, she knew just like Metal Aggymon knew, that she wasn't safe her. She was in the line of fire and if she stay long enough in it, she knew that she was going to be shot by it. Right now, she knew that Metal Aggymon had to find a way to get out of Marine Devimon's Darkness Water attack.

You can do it thought Marry. You can get out of this, I know you can.

Marine Devimon's Darkness Water attack continue and it look like that Marry's thoughts were being unheard by her Digimon.

"I can't hold this for much longer, I am going to need help," said Metal Aggymon.

"No! You have to continue this," ordered Marry.

"I know, but there are limits to my power and right now think I am going to my limit, I sorry, but unless I get help, I think I am going to lose this fight," said Metal Aggymon.

"This can't be! I don't want to die like this," said Marry.

"I don't like this either, but it look like this might be our faith, if we don't get any type of help," said Metal Aggymon.

"Holy Flare!" Yelled another voice.

Seconds after that attack was shouted a white mist of energy appeared and the mist of energy hit Marine Devimon and causes him to stop dead in his track. Because of that, Darkness Water attack stop, which free up Metal Aggymon and when that happen Metal Aggymon leap into action. She put Marry down on one of the docks that were converted into a nightclub.

"Who was that?" Asked Metal Aggymon.

Seconds after that Marry got her answer again, but unlike Marine Devimon's appearance, this Digimon's appearance was a welcome sight. Marry and Metal Aggymon both saw that the Digmon that had save them was just like her Mega form of Metal Nivernmon, with a few exceptions. One of them was the color of the armor that covered entire body of this Digmon, it wasn't sliver, but gold, and the gold armor shimmered in the few rays sunlight of the setting sun. The other change between this Digimon and Metal Nivernmon, was the number of heads this Digmon had, it had three heads.

Metal Aggymon watch the new Digimon fly through the air and when that happen, Metal Aggymon knew who the three-head golden armor dragon was, it was Triplexdramon. Against the fading orange color sky, Triplexdramon was a grand sight to be seen.

"That is Triplexdramon, a Mega-Level Holy Legendary Dragon type Digimon. I honestly thought that he was just a myth, but this prove that I am wrong," answered Metal Aggymon.

The two of them watch as the Digimon of myth circle around the sky, it seemed that Triplexdramon look like he was waiting for something. Then Triplexdramon saw what he was looking for and head in the direction of both Marry and Metal Nivernmon. It seemed to them all that this Digimon was worry about them all and while that was going on, Metal Aggymon step in fort of Marry.

"What are you are doing?" Asked Marry.

"I am going to protect you," answered Metal Aggymon.

"What? Don't, it look like that Triplexdramon is a good guy and if he wasn't you wouldn't last two seconds against a Mega-Level Digimon like that," said Marry.

"It dose not matter, I was meant to protect you and that is something that I take very seriously," said Metal Aggymon.

"As you should," answered the same voice that had called out the Holy Flare attack.

Hearing a voice that slight echo to it, almost like the voice that Hollywood film maker would used to when God was speaking, made Marry take a look at the powerful Digimon. When she did she saw all of the details of the Digimon and could see all of the grandest that this Digimon had. She had never seen anything that was remotely close to this Digimon and to make matter worst for her to compare this Digimon to others, was the fact that this Digmon was glowing in a gold light, that made it a little hard for her to get a clear shot of the details that this Digimon had. One of the details that she managed to see, was the fact that only the center head of the trio of heads was the one that was moving his lips, the other were stonewalled.

"That is the job of your Digimon, to protect you no matter what the enemy might be," said Triplexdramon.

"Nice shot with the Holy Flare, in freezing Marine Devimon in his tracks. I owe you one," said Metal Aggymon.

Triplexdramon bowed his head at the praise that he was getting from this Digimon. "That wasn't a problem, I saw that you where in danger and I reacted in a way that any good Digimon would do. How are you? I hope that you are in good health."

"Yeah, we are fine, I am just a little beat up with my pervious fight, but even with that I think I will survive to fight another day," answered Metal Aggymon.

"What are your human partner? How is she?" Asked the golden dragon Digimon.

"Marry," started Metal Aggymon.

"I fine, nothing is serious hurt, just my pride. That is something that I think that I can recovered from," answered Marry.

"That is good," answered Triplexdramon.

After that the freeze that Triplexdramon had put Marine Devimon in broke and Triplexdramon reacted to it by moving his attention away from them all and in the direction of where Marine Devimon was located. When that happens Metal Aggymon and Marry turned in the same direction and both of them saw what Triplexdramon was seeing. They saw that the work that Triplexdramon had did to Marine Devimon wore off and it look like that Marine Devimon was pissed at what that Digmon had did to them.

Metal Aggymon got herself ready for round two against this Digimon.

"No, you are injured, let me take him on, you job is to protect Marry and jumping into a fight that you know that you can't win isn't in my book protecting Marry," said Triplexdramon. After that the dragon Digimon went into the direction of the other Digimon.

That voice, I swear that I heard somewhere else thought Marry. Then it hit Marry like a bag that was full with bricks, the voice of Triplexdramon was Roger's voice. If she took away the slight echo of the voice, it was Roger's voice. Then she wondered how did Roger's voice be the voice of that Digimon and then she realized what had happen. It was just when Roger merged with Big O, somehow Roger had found a way to become a Digimon.

"Oh my God!" Shouted Marry.

"What?" Asked Metal Aggymon.

"I don't know who this happen, but Roger is Triplexdramon, I don't know how it happen, but it seems that Roger somehow gain the ably to turn himself into a Digimon," answered Marry.

"What? Are you serious?" Asked Metal Aggymon.

"Yes, I am dead serious about this one, and again I don't know how that happen. All I know is that it happen and I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing," answered Marry.

Dorothy, the Digidestined and their Digimon and reach the spot that Dorothy thought that Roger would be at, but they found out that he wasn't there. There was no sign of what had happen to him, but somehow Kari knew that Roger was still around this area.

"Are you sure?" Asked Tai.

"Yes, I know that he still around here, but I don't know where he is," answered Kari.

"What about your, Dorothy do you sense anything, like the way that you knew that Roger and Big O became one?" Asked Tai.

"No, I don't have anything like that," answered Dorothy.

"Then what happen to him, people just don't disappeared into thin air," said Tai.

Seconds after that, they heard the sound of police sirens full the air with their shrill sound and at the same time the sound of helicopters were also hear as well.

"Hey take a look at this," said Cody.

Everybody went to where Cody was at and they could see that where Cody was at, that there was a clear shot of the Delaware River. When they did that they could see that there were two Digimon that were fighting each other and both of them were polar opposite of each other.

"I recognize the one that is in the water, that is Marine Devimon, but the other I don't," said Cody.

"Then who is that Digimon?" Asked Tai.

"Let's see what the Digimon Analyzer has to said about him," said Izzy. After that Izzy tapped a couple of buttons that were on his keypad and pull up the information about that other Digimon.

"Guys, the one that is flying through the air, is called Triplexdramon, a Holy Legendary Dragon type, that is at the Mega Level. His attacks are Golden Trilogy, Holy Flare, and Kaiser Klaw," answered Izzy.

"Evil Wind!" Shouted Marine Devimon and when that happen a strong guest of wind picked up and on the wind there was the smell of something that was dying. Everybody tried to grade hold of something that would kept them from being blow away from the powerful wind.

Up in the air, Triplexdramon stood strong, using his huge wing span to defect almost all of the power that wind had.

"Now is that the best that you got?" Asked Triplexdramon in a cocky voice that still contained the deep echo that Marry and Metal Aggymon heard.

When that happen, Metal Aggymon, Kari, and Dorothy knew where Roger had gone. He had somehow become this Digimon, which was known as Triplexdramon. They won't the others that also heard that voice, Alex and Daemon also heard the voice, like the others they knew that Roger was now the Digimon dragon that was know as Triplexdramon.

"That is impossible!" Shouted Daemon.

"Nope, when it comes to Roger, nothing is impossible, it seems that some how Roger broke the last bounds that were on Big O's program," said Alex.

"This could be a problem," said Daemon.

"No, not yet, if Roger somehow finds a way to fuse all of his forms into one being, then we will have to worry," said Alex.

"You won't let that happen," said Daemon.

Alex didn't say anything to that question, the only that he was looking at was the Black Jewel that Daemon had capture from the team. He knew that others were important, but this was the one that he wanted so badly and this was because this was Black Jewel that would be used to fuse the pilot of the Big O.

"Holy…" stammered Tai.

"My God, how did he do that?" Asked Izzy.

"That is what I would like to know happen?" Asked Ken.

"You aren't the only ones that would love to know how that happen, but right now we can't figure that out, the only thing that we can do is hope that Roger as Triplexdramon can take out Marine Devimon. Something that Metal Aggymon couldn't do," answered Dorothy.

Everybody agree with that and after that they watch the fight take place.

"Why don't you take this on for size! Golden Trilogy!" Shouted Triplexdramon and after that golden light form the mouths of the three heads of Triplexdramon. After that each light came together in a focal point and with that a thick beam of energy was shot at the body of Marine Devimon.

Marine Devimon put up all of his arms in an attempt to block the powerful attack, but it was fruitless as the powerful beam ripped right through the arms and when that happen the beam went through the body of the Digmon. The beam made a huge hole in the Digimon and then the Digmon started to delete by his body turning into a million tiny pieces. At the end of his body turning into that, all of the pieces faded away into nothing.

After that Triplexdramon flew away from everybody.
