[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Juggernaut Unleash! Matrix Evolution: War Growlmon's Rise!
It was late at night and there was a digimon battle occurring within an abandoned building. Takato stood at one corner while watching Guilmon going face to face with what looked like a DarkLizamon. In fact, it was a DarkLizamon, who had just bio-emerged.
"Alright, Guilmon! We got him on the run now!"
The goggle boy pulls out a card out of his pocket and then slashes it right through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Metal Garurumon's Metal Wolf Claw!"
"Metal Wolf Claw!!"
The crimson-colored dinosaur opens his mouth and unleashes a stream of ice over at DarkLizamon, which caused the dark digimon to scream out in bloody pain. Guilmon finishes the job and looks over to see DarkLizamon falling down onto its knees while trying to regain its strength.
"That DarkLizamon was one tough cookie but we did it!"
"Did you just say cookie, Takatomon?"
"Geez, now you're starting to talk about food at a time like this."
Just then, a bright light engulfs the two as they were quickly blinded momentarily. Takato looks out from above and then hears the loud spinning of helicopter propellers. In fact, it was from a helicopter. He watched as it landed and looked over to the source of the light itself. The helicopter confirms their target and the Strike Team comes running in to initiate the retrieval sequence.
"Takatomon, should we fight them?"
"I don't know. But I say we get the heck out of here before they find out."
Suddenly, a voice started crying out which caught the boy's attention. Takato turns around to see none other than DarkLizamon rising up inside a cloud of debris.
"No! Please, stay! You have to make my stronger, so I can digivolve," exclaimed DarkLizamon.
As soon as the fiery monster started to approach Takato, two smoke bombs come out of nowhere and explode on the ground surrounding DarkLizamon. The monster was quickly knocked completely out from the smoke itself. As soon as the smoke started to clear away, Takato looks out to find Guilmon and coughs through the smoke.
"Guilmon! Are you ok? Guilmon, can you hear me? Is that you, Guilmon?"
"Well, aren't you going to you thank me," a voice called out from within the smoke.
Takato spins around and then peers through to see a recognizable figure, who was wearing a black suit and pair of shades on. It was none other than Yamaki. Takato could easily remember him from a couple of days ago.
"After all, I did save your life. You know that really deserves something. Besides, this is dangerous work."
"Who are you?"
"I'll be the one who asks the questions. Who do you think you are for attacking digimon on your own? You think this is some kind of game? These are lethal creatures who should be contained. And for your own safety, I should just take your little, red friend there."
Takato gasps and stands right in front of Guilmon with his arms out stretched while shielding him.
"You leave Guilmon alone! He's nothing like DarkLizamon!"
"Ha. You're so young and naive."
"Who you calling naive?!"
Just then, DarkLizamon starts to stir and begins to make some growling noises, which surprised Takato the most.
"She's… She's still alive!"
"And she's dangerous. Maybe I should take your little friend. He may become dangerous as well."
"You'll have to go through me first!"
"Eh. He's probably more trouble than he's ever worth.
Yamaki goes and walks off towards the helicopter but then speaks up in order to get his warning straightened out.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, little boy."
Takato and Guilmon look on as Yamaki hops aboard the helicopter and a grappling hook snatching up the immobilized DarkLizamon, which they plan to send back to Hypnos headquarters with their mission being complete.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere at Yolei's apartment home, she had gathered a small meeting with Davis and Ken. They were going to discuss the events that have been occurring in Shinjuku for the past few weeks.
"Why exactly did you me over for?" Davis asked. "I was just trying to get some well deserved sleep. You don't realize how much crap I've been through."
"Quit complaining, Davis. I've called you here because we really need to talk about this digimon invasions we've been having recently. It's getting out of control."
"Not to mention that we're pretty beat," Hawkmon added.
"So, what do we know about these digimon?" Wormmon asked.
"For one thing, these digimon destroy their prey and feed off of their data to get stronger. This a feat which is very new to us," Ken added. "Some of those digimon happened to be ones we've run into in the digital world."
"You want a good example? That Devidramon we fought about a week ago," Yolei said. "Halsemon and Stingmon had trouble against him. Normally, we would have taken a normal Devidramon. This one was prepared for us. He uploaded data to get stronger."
"Are we able to get stronger by uploading data?" Veemon asked. "I could use some of that to boost my energy."
"I don't think it's right to steal another digimon's data. Besides, we should stick to our basics," Davis stated. "The Tamers have their way of defeating the enemy, but we have our own. Our digimon get stronger by every battle they fight. They don't need data to get stronger."
"For example, I was told that this Rika girl forces her partner to upload the data of every opponent she demolishes."
"Yeah. I was there to witness a battle," Davis said. "Just when Flamedramon was about to finish those Vilemon, Renamon comes and kills them."
"Then, we ran into Cerberumon the other night," Yolei continued on. "He was the toughest we've had to deal with."
"That alone forced Veemon and I to execute our fusion evolution. Paildramon got the job done. That was our last resort. We didn't feel the need to fusion evolve, because we didn't want to cause devastation to the city."
"Davis, brings up an interesting. It's no wonder Kari was never forced to fusion evolve with Gatomon. Because she knows that Celesta X's power would cause destruction not just to the enemy, but to our surroundings. We can't risk looking out for the well being of other people," Ken added.
"On the other hand, if we would have fusion evolve with our digimon, we would have finished these invaders rapidly," Wormmon stated. "But, you have a point. We can't risk looking out innocent bystanders."
"Plus, we've seen the destruction the fusion evolutions can create. We were only lucky to control our tremendous power as Paildramon," Davis replied.
"Remember guys. We have to keep our digimon's powers in check. We can't fusion evolve, unless for extreme emergency," Yolei said.
"Right!"
"Something tells me we have to keep an eye out for those heavy fogs," Davis thought.
"What's this uneasy feeling? I've been like this all night. Is there something coming which is something we are not expecting? This looks bad," Veemon said in thought.
**************************************************************************************
Later that night, Takato was standing outside of Guilmon's home, while watching his digimon friend making up his bed out of the dirt from the ground.
"You did great tonight, Guilmon. I'm proud of you boy."
"I'm getting better. And if I keep winning, I will get stronger and I will digivolve again just like you wanted me to. Oh, I want to digivolve again!"
Just then, Takato looks on and then looks back to when Guilmon first evolved into Growlmon. He remembers how 'big and scary' Growlmon used to be and was now afraid that his own digimon might turn on him. He was afraid that Guilmon would no longer be friend after evolving.
"No! I don't want you to! I don't want anymore fights."
"But no more fights means no more data. Then how will I get stronger and how will I digivolve?"
"No! I don't want you to! You'll change!"
With that said, Takato goes running out leaving Guilmon sitting and wondering why his own partner will not allow him to digivolve. Guilmon was hoping that Takato didn't end up like Henry.
"What did I do wrong, Takato? Was it something I said?"
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, just a mile away from the park, the building of Hypnos seemed desolate but the activity inside was busy as ever.
[Hypnos theme plays]
Riley and Talley were busy as ever looking over the safety grid in search of anymore Wild Ones about to bio-emerge. So far, there was nothing yet and everything remained calm. Suddenly, a calculation was starting to show up on the grid.
"Hmm. Something had just appeared on my radar," Riley said.
"And I thought we were going to have a quiet night," Talley replied.
"It looks like a Wild One but I can't be sure since the signal is almost unreadable."
"It might be a glitch in the program," Talley suggested, "Those engineers are so unreliable. The tracer is acting so erratic. Instead of going to those karaoke parties, those engineers should be checking the equipment like they should and make us work our asses now. And it looks like the tracer is coming down from underneath us."
Just then, Calumon goes hopping along at the bottom of the room with a confused look on his face.
"Culu! Culu! Culu!"
Talley looks right down over at Calumon with a look of bewilderment. Calumon looks right up at her and his ears flutter open. His eyes start to sparkle and Talley starts to adore his look with a red blush coming over her face.
"Aww, how cute."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within Hypnos, Yamaki was walking inside of a large, secret laboratory where he and his assistants experiment on the digital life forms that bio-emerge in the real world. They test and study them to get a better understanding of them and this is where they run to test their latest experiment, the Juggernaut program.
"Those clueless Tamers and their digimon are so oblivious to what I'm cooking in my laboratory. Although, they will find out soon enough and they will be surprised," Yamaki said in thought.
***************************************************************************************
Talley looks under several counters to search for Calumon.
"I saw it. It was down here. I wasn't seeing things."
"It was probably that leftover enchilada that you had earlier. It's making you seeing things."
"But it was talking, skipping and singing."
"But I'm telling you, it was your lunch. That serves you right for eating four-day-old food."
"Maybe you're right."
**************************************************************************************
Yamaki walks over towards the experiment container and looks over at DarkLizamon, who was floating within the container with numerous of co-workers and biologists standing around the experiment. The digimon was crying out for it to be released and literally begged for them to do so.
"Where am I?! Please, let me out of here! I beg of you! I don't want to go back!"
Just then, one of Yamaki's assistants come walking up to him in order to inform him on the progress of the experiment.
"Sir, we're ready to initiate the data scan but the creature may not survive."
"And you're telling this as if I should care. This thing is not made of up flesh and blood."
"But it's a living creature.
"A worm is more of a living creature than this thing! It's nothing more than a packet of data. It's a computer code. Zeroes and ones that is. Their ability to appear in the real world is nothing more than a fluke but their monstrous friend is not without its use. We can analyze its data and we can now learn how digimon were created and how they can be destroyed. Initiate the scan and I want it at full power."
The assistant nods in agreement and walks over to the control panel and pressed a button as the scan was beginning to initiate. DarkLizamon began screaming in bloody murder within the container and her body was starting to ripple into tiny bits of data.
"Please! You have to release me from this imprisonment! Don't do this!!"
"Sir, the particles are dissipating."
"Do not stop until we have all of the data! We are only steps from achieving our ultimate goal."
The screams of the monster disappeared and tons of data was now dispersing within the container.
"Sir, the creature is gone but the data isn't. Should I save it?"
"What's the point? We have all the information that we need from the scanning procedure. Eliminate anything that is left."
With that said, the last of DarkLizamon's data was quickly being erased and the container was soon deactivated until another day.
"You will have to get used to it," Yamaki replied, "We'll scan as many as we have to. Until they are all gone."
**************************************************************************************
The very next day, the customers at the Dungeon Dice Monsters arena were getting packed as usual. It seems this new fad was beginning to have a large gathering. Duke Devilin is sure to gain a lot of profit from every merchandise sold and every duelist looking forward to the tournaments.
Henry walked by and noticed the large crowd of people. There was Dice Monster sets being sold.
"Hmmm. Is this another fad in town? First digimon, then duel monsters and now this?"
"Hey, Henry!"
Henry turned around to see Takato running up towards him. The goggle boy was sweating after a long run from the bakery.
"Hey, Takato. Did you check this place out yet?"
"That's the Dungeon Dice Monsters arena, which Kazu has been telling me about. That Duke Devilin is sure to gain some profit."
"Yeah, but Dice Monsters looks way too complicating."
"Kazu actually wants to try it out. He's already good with digimon cards and he's starting duel monsters. He really wants to duel Duke at his own game."
"Well, I'd pay to see that. There's no way he can beat Duke."
"By the way, where you heading off to?"
"Home. I've got to go and pick Terriermon up. I bet my sister is giving him another treatment of her chamber of horrors."
"Ha. No kidding. Well, I'll catch you later, Henry. See ya."
"Take it easy."
Takato walks off to find Kazu and Kenta. Henry turns around to start his walk back to his home. Obviously, Henry has nothing on his mind and decides to take it easy for the rest of the day.
Over at the Dungeon Dice Monsters arena, there was a near pint-sized lady with spiky, pink hair. She was wearing a blouse and a pair of pants. She examines the boxes of the Dice Monster sets.
"Meh. I can create games much more complicating than this," she stated.
"Mrs. Washu!" a woman's voice was calling.
Another woman came rushing over to Washu. This lady has purple hair and wore a brilliant, Japanese kimono dress.
"Just what are these?"
"They're the latest fad games around, Ayeka" Washu replied. "Don't you agree that I can create more complicating games than this? I can't understand how anyone can think these are challenging."
"Well, not everyone is a genius like you, Mrs. Washu," Ayeka replied
"I'm one of a kind. I'm not the greatest scientific genius in the universe for nothing!"
"She loves being so full of it, doesn't she?" Ayeka thought.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Kari was sitting in her dining room table where Izzy was sitting at one side while examining the Gatomon card that Takato had given to her. Izzy places the card down and looks over at Kari.
"I don't know what to make of it. Since when did they make digimon cards, Izzy," Kari asked, "I never knew about them. Plus how do they even know about Gatomon? I thought our digimon were a secret only to us."
"Its apparent that we may have a situation in our hands. There's somebody out there that knows about us and I'm going to get to the bottom of it."
"Um, earth to Izzy," Tentomon remarked, "Why don't you just scan it right through your computer?"
"I've tried that and it comes up with a bunch of code names. But I think I will translate it. Kari, would you mind if I borrowed this card for a while. Then, once I get the codes all translated, I will let you know."
"Thanks, Izzy. You were always the smart one of the team. By the way, how has Tai been?"
"He's doing fine. He misses you a lot and hopes you can stop by his house sometime."
"So, what's up? Are he and Sora going out? The last time I checked, they were coaching a soccer team together."
"They're still dating. But I think Tai really sees her more than as a friend."
"Really? Well that's good to know. I'll call him later on today."
"Alright. Looks like my job here is finished. You just call me anytime and I really would like to meet these Tamers sometime."
"Oh, you will like them. Well at least Takato and Henry that is. I don't know about Rika."
"After hearing everything from your side of the story, I wouldn't go near Rika either. Well, I'll be in town for a couple of days. So you know that I will be over at the nearby West Shinjuku Dragon Hotel."
"I'll call you. Thanks, Izzy."
The young woman opens the door for Izzy and Tentomon. As soon as they go walking out, she waves over to them.
"New Tamers? Wow, I can't wait to meet these new kids that Kari was telling us about," said Tentomon, "But that Rika girl is sure bad news!"
"Uh huh. But we got work to do. This card is really puzzling me. How could somebody create a Gatomon card? I mean there has to be somebody out there that knows a whole lot about us."
"Maybe, you can investigate and I'll search for these Tamers myself."
"And get yourself exposed to the public? No way, Tento!"
"Well, you know. You're right. They might get freaked if they see a flying, talking beetle."
"Not to mention one with a chatter box inside of him."
"Are you saying that I talk too much?"
"But, you just talk to fast. Even I can barely understand you sometimes."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Ken was walking by through the busy streets of West Shinjuku with Wormmon at his side. The little insect was pulling off another one of his 'doll modes', which made him unnoticeable among the public.
"Its a good thing to know that these people haven't noticed Wormmon yet after all of those digimon attacks. But I don't understand. How are digimon instantly able to enter the real world? I thought Azulongmon and the other three guardians were able to seal away all dimensional doorways into and out of the Digital World. There's something fishy going around here and I want to get to the bottom of."
"Hey, Ken? Can I stop putting on the doll act? Because there's no people around where we are."
"Alright, but just stay on my side, ok?"
"Alright. So, anything yet on this big mystery?"
"None whatsoever buddy. Wormmon, when you were battling Devidramon, did you notice something a little different about monster?"
"Hmmm, as a matter of fact, I did. It was abnormally stronger than any Devidramon in the past. Plus it was able to take Halsemon and I out. Usually, I would be able to take one down as Stingmon. But that time around, the tide turned against me in a way."
"Really? It was abnormally stronger? Hmm, then that must mean that the Devidramon that came here probably wasn't from the Digital World. It could have been brought from some sort of other mysterious dimension."
"You think so? It was still a digimon. Digimon only come from the Digital World. I don't think there are anymore other Digital Worlds."
"This is getting more complicated than I first thought. If only I were still a genius, then I would have easily gotten to the bottom of this. But now, nothing."
"Don't worry. I can assure you. We will find out what is really going on around here."
"Right. I know you always support my decisions, Wormmon. But I think we better be heading back to Kari's. Lunch must be ready by now."
"Goody. I hope she made more of those 'California rolls' I love so much."
"Don't you mean, sushi?"
"Same thing."
"That's good to me. Lets go."
As Ken walked by, a young man came walking by wearing a white jacket and black pants. He has brown hair with strands covering his face. His eyes were blue as ice. He had a small pack around his waist with a pair of cards. They were duel monster cards and there was one that stood out amongst the rest of them. It had an emblem of as ice dragon with blue eyes. Yes, this is the rare card known as the Blue Eyes White Dragon. The young man was none other than Seto Kaiba, the proud owner of Kaiba Corporation.
"Soon, Battle City will be underway. With all of these reports of monsters, I was told to delay the tournament for the next month. I'm not about to let some garbage push my plans back. The tournament will go as scheduled. I will soon defeat Yugi, take the other two Egyptian God cards and reclaim my sport as the number one duelist. It's only a matter of time."
**************************************************************************************
Later that day and over at the playground in the school, Kazu and Kenta were talking to one another about perhaps digimon. But then their enthusiastic looks on their faces faded away once Takato came walking by.
"Hey guys."
"Oh hi," Kazu replied.
"Uh, yeah. Hi," said Kenta.
"I just went over and saw the new Dungeon Dice Monsters stadium. It was neat! I still have to go inside to check it out though."
"Wow, that's pretty cool. Isn't it just neat?"
"Sure is…"
Despite the talk of the new Dungeon Dice Monsters, they didn't seem very social at the very moment. They were clear whether to not to even talk to Takato even after all of that 'real digimon' nonsense that Kazu claimed to hear from Takato. Jeri goes walking up to them with a cheerful look on her face.
"Hi, guys! So what are you doing today? Talking about digimon," asked Jeri.
"No, digimon is for kids," said Kenta.
"Yeah. Its all pretend," replied Kazu.
"But Guilmon is… is real," Takato said.
"You're not scaring anyone with that oversized stuffed dinosaur of yours," Kazu pointed out.
"But Guilmon was real," Jeri said under her breath, "He's not fake…"
"Ugh, who cares? We're just not into digimon anymore. Its lame," said Kenta.
"Let us put it this way so that you can understand, chumley. It sucks and I'm going to retire from being the king of digimon card battles."
"Well, you don't have to dump it," Takato added on, "If you don't like it, then don't play it."
"What's wrong with them?" Jeri wondered, "Boys always fight when there's something not to even fight about."
"Yo, Kenta. Lets blow this joint! Lets leave Takato behind with his kiddy games," Kazu said as he runs off home.
"Hey! Wait up!" Kenta cried out as he soon followed.
"But its not a game," Takato said as he stood there with a sad look on his face.
"Takato, is there something wrong?" asked Jeri, "You look so sad."
"No. Nothing at all, Jeri," Takato replied while shaking his head.
Jeri quickly pulls out her sock puppet and then begins to speak through her puppet.
"Ruff! So, are we going to go and play with Guilmon today?"
"Jeri! I'm not playing around!"
Jeri was quickly caught off guard by Takato's angry tone of voice. The goggle boy stood there with a shocked look on his face and then turns away from the girl.
"Sorry, Jeri. I have to go."
With that said, Takato goes running off elsewhere while Jeri looks on with a deeply concerned look on her face. She thought if it was something that she had said.
**************************************************************************************
A local university was teeming with students seeking opportunities to find their majors. Among all of these students, there was one who was trying his very best. He was studying through the next seven years to become a doctor.
"Hey! Joe! Are you coming to our study group this Thursday?" a student called out.
"Yeah. I'll be there!"
"Cool. We'll see you there!"
Joe sighed in relief after dealing with two morning classes and an afternoon seminar. He walks out of the university grounds and sits on a porch. Gomamon pokes his head out to catch his breath.
"Hey, what's the matter, Joe?"
"It's just been rough. Did I make the right choice to become a major in the medical department?"
"Well, you did say that you wanted to help cure the sick. It's your dream, Joe."
"Well, it's what my dad wanted."
"Don't give up, Joe. I know you can do it. C'mon, don't look so down. I'll start throwing out some wise cracks."
"I could use one of you're wise cracks right about now."
"Ok. Let me think of one. Ha! I got one! What did one Shellmon say to another Shellmon?"
"What?"
"Shellfish!"
Joe managed to crack a smile and chuckled to himself. Gomamon was very pleased to know that his wise cracks were still clever as ever.
"Yes! I still got it! Just don't forget not to give up. I know you can do it, Joe. Put your mind into something and it will be just fine."
"Thanks for the advice, buddy. So, you up for some Chinese?"
"You've read my mind. Eggrolls are calling out my name."
Just as Joe was sitting up to grab his bag, Gomamon peered over towards the Hypnos building. The clever sea mammal was receiving bad vibes from the twin tower building.
"I'm getting a bad feeling from that building. What is it? I wonder what they do in there?"
**************************************************************************************
Yamaki looks out from his office window with a sheer look on his face. He opened up his lighter and then closes it right up. All those digimon that he considers 'nuisances' would soon be dealt with and he would be the one that single-handedly takes them all out and wipes them from existence.
"With these recent incidents occurring, Hypnos is the really reason there hasn't been any media leaks in the first place. The so-called artificial-life program had to be shut down and digimon was able to live on as a mere child's game. But somehow these pests have survived and even developed the ability to synthesize proteins to take form in the real world. These digimon have unlimited powers of destruction and indefinite life spans. They are nothing more than a damn threat to human society. But now, I have the solution to completely eliminate them all in both worlds. I will use the digimon's own data against them and there is no need for hesitation, they are not even living, breathing creatures after all. They're just faulty programs, which should have never been created in the first place. I could save the lives of many of the innocence. This advanced plan is what I like to call the Juggernaut program. Even though there is a thin boundary between the two worlds, the Juggernaut will only cause some come complications online but hang ups on the net happen everyday so nobody will even notice. I shall test and see how it runs. It should be able to work. No, there will be no excuses. This will work and it's the final plan to destroy all digital life as we know it."
***************************************************************************************
Back over at the park, Guilmon and Takato were talking to one another about the whole ordeal the other night.
"So, you're still not mad at me, Takato?"
"I'm not mad at you. I'm just worried about you. When you first digivolved, you scared the pants right off of me. The way you looked, plus your eyes."
"But it was just me."
"But you barely even knew who I really was, Guilmon. Well, didn't you?"
Guilmon looked at him with a look on complexion. Takato goes on and explains even further.
"What if you like quantum evolved and totally forgot about me or who you used to be?"
"No matter how much I will change, I will always still be me."
"Guilmon. You're totally amazing. It seems just like yesterday that you were thinking and talking like a baby. But now you see things so clearly, maybe even better than I do sometimes."
"I get that all from you."
"I wish that I could change too," Takato said, "I'm sorry for acting all weird towards you."
"But you were only just worried about me."
"Well, I should have know that while you looked like a huge, monster like Growlmon on the outside, you are still the same bread-munching goof on the inside."
"So, are we friends forever, Takatomon?"
"Friends forever."
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back at Hypnos, Talley looked over to Riley as if she were going to ask her questions concerning this new 'project' that Yamaki was planning to use.
"So, what do you think that this new mechanism is?"
"Well, all I got to say is that whatever it is, its not going to be pretty."
"We sure didn't get any authorization for it either."
"Well, Yamaki does what he wants. He's the boss man around here. Don't ask so many questions anyway. Besides all of his projects always means bad news for somebody."
"Lets just see if you are right about that one."
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Rika was sitting down alongside the front porch of her home while talking to her partner, Renamon.
"Renamon. Ever since you beat Harpymon, you didn't load her data. That was the first time that I ever see you do that. So, why did you do it?"
"I didn't need to."
"Then, how will you digivolve?"
"I think that digimon with human partners don't need to absorb data as something special about our relationship with our Tamers makes us digivolve."
"And I guess we're like that," Rika replied, "I don't even remember what I was so angry about and I don't even feel like poking fun at those two boys' silly digimon."
"That is weird," Renamon said in agreement.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, just as Mr. Wong was about to open the door to his apartment home, a mysterious man comes walking up to him which catches Mr. Wong off guard.
"Sorry, but I'm not interested in buying anything today."
"Mr. Wong. Just think of me as a ghost from your past, when you and your friends thought you could do anything like creating digital life forms on the net. They are out of control now and someone has to pay the price."
"Just tell me what you want."
"I want you to help me find one of your old playmates, one who refuses to grow up and is working on the project right now."
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
"You better not lie to me."
"I don't know! Just, who are you?!"
But as soon as he turned around and snapped angrily, he saw none other than Henry looking at him with a shocked look on his face. Mr. Wong sighed a relief and Henry had a questionable look on his face.
"Hey dad? Is everything al right? Is there something wrong? Whom were you yelling at?"
But just before his dad could even answer, the front door opens and Suzie is standing with a huge smile on her face. She then holds out Terriermon in his 'Ms. Pretty Pants' get-up.
"Hi daddy! Say hewwo to Princess Pretty Pants!"
Terriermon looks over at Henry with a tear coming down his eye and the boy looked at him with bewilderment.
***************************************************************************************
Calumon looks towards the Hypnos buildings from a horizon and did not exactly give it a very friendly look. He felt quite uncomfortable being around the twin tower buildings.
"I don't like being near that building, or even being inside of it. There was just something about it that was not nice."
Suddenly, Impmon goes sticking ups face right in front of Calumon, which catches the little digimon off guard and causing him to fly back onto the ground. Impmon looks down over at Calumon with a cool and calculated look on his face.
"Aww, what's the matter? Did I just scare the adorable little Calumon off like a 'fraidy cat?! You're not so tough once you fall down like a sack of potatoes!"
"No wonder you're such a big meanie! Its no wonder that you don't have any friends!"
"Eh, what good are friends for? All you do is act all cute and friendly, and what has that really done for ya?"
"Impmon, is there anybody that you really like?"
"Nah! You all pretty much make me sick. What a young digimon needs is not friends but some good advice. And it's your lucky day because I'm in a sharing kind of a mood. Life is all about survival of the fittest when the best and the brightest, that's me, wipes the floor with the meek and the weak, that would be you. So once I blast you into kingdom come and absorb your data like I'm planning to do now. Don't take it personally, its just nature taking its course."
Impmon looks down at Calumon with a huge grin on his face, which caused the little white digimon to shake under his feet nervously.
***************************************************************************************
Back over at Hypnos, the Operation Juggernaut was soon beginning to initiate and the people were now getting an abnormal reading from their radars.
"I'm picking up a rather large abnormal reading," exclaimed Riley, "Sir, is this apart of the project that we are experimenting."
"There's nothing to be concerned about. We're just giving it a test run. We're using the data from the digital life forms we've captured and we constructed a digimon composite to act as bait. So instead of hunting for them, they will come to us."
"That's brilliant, sir."
"Well that was just your very first accurate observation."
***************************************************************************************
Back over at Guilmon's house, Takato was discussing more of the whole digivolution idea to Guilmon, but it seemed Guilmon was sort of distracted at the very moment.
"Now that we're back on track, I have all these attacks I want to try on you and maybe we could use some sort of a team name."
Just then, the ground started to shake and Takato loses his balance and falls onto the ground. A huge rumble was taking place.
"Was that some kind of earthquake?"
"Its coming…" Guilmon thought to himself.
***************************************************************************************
Henry and his family are starting to have dinner. As soon as they all sat around their chairs and took their places, Henry spoke up and asked his father a question.
"Dad, I want to know about that digimon project that you used to work on."
"Lets talk about that one later. Okay, Henry?"
"Oh ok. Alright then."
Just then, Henry hears a cry and a loud rumble. He goes running back towards his room to see Terriermon floating around and acting strangely.
"Henry! It's got me like a magnet! I can't resist it!"
"What is happening to you?!"
***************************************************************************************
"Juggernaut has now been activated," an operator calls out.
With that said, a huge beam of light goes shooting up into the air and several reactions were now occurring, such as a hole starting to form within the sky lines above. The boundary between the two worlds has now been opened.
"The data stream has now been dispatched and the projected response is immediate," an operator informed Yamaki via radio communicator.
Yamaki looks across the skylines and the huge gap that was forming from the Juggernaut itself.
"Heh. Heh. Those digimon won't know what hit them. Now I challenge those kiddies to deal with it," Yamaki said under his breath.
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, a young man was walking by with what seemed to be a blue-dragon like digimon at his side. The digimon felt the presence of incoming power and stopped in his tracks.
"Veemon? What's wrong?"
"Davish, I can feel the presence of an incoming digimon. And it's not very pretty."
"Oh man. Just when we got here, trouble decides to show its ugly face!"
**************************************************************************************
Yugi and Joey were walking down a street. They suddenly stopped. Yugi looked up and noticed what looked like a wormhole in the sky.
"What the heck is that?"
"Whoa! That's a large hole in the sky?! Is it the end of the world?!" Joey exclaimed.
Suddenly, Yugi was receiving another message from the spirit of his puzzle. He turned and saw an image of Yami.
"Yugi. I'm sensing a great power about to arrive in this realm."
"What is it? Is is that mad man that wants to take the Millennium Puzzle? Is he planning an assault?"
"No, it is far greater. We must be on alert, Yugi."
"Right!"
**************************************************************************************
Hawkmon and Wormmon were also feeling the presence of the great power that was soon going to arrive. And this one was something that they have never faced before.
"Wormmon? What's up?" asked Ken.
"Hawkmon?"
"Trouble is coming. I can feel it," replied Hawkmon.
"Ditto here. And its bigger than we though," Wormmon said.
Soon, Patamon and Gatomon felt the presence and they were growling under their breath. Kari and TK take notice of this and were now starting to worry more than ever.
"Just what kind of powerful force are they talking about," Kari asked herself.
"Kari! We might have to fight this thing before it gets out of control," Gatomon said.
"I agree! TK, we have to do this!" exclaimed Patamon.
"What are they talking about? I can't even pick up any kind of reading from my D-3,"TK said to himself.
**************************************************************************************
Gomamon hops out from Joe's bag and looks up towards the skies with a menacing look.
"Gomamon?"
"There's a great power coming. I can feel it."
"A great power?"
*************************************************************************************
Takato and Guilmon look over at the Hypnos building and the Juggernaut program that was creating a large hole within the skylines.
"What is that?! Some sort of government project?"
"Takato! I can sense it!"
"Sense what?"
"A digimon is coming and it's really big!"
Takato gasps and then looks out to the skies with a bewildered look on his face.
***************************************************************************************
Seto Kaiba noticed the wormhole growing larger in size. He pulls his cell phone out.
"Seto Kaiba here. Pick me up at the Shinjuku Bridge. We have some planning out to do."
"Yes, sir."
Kaiba noticed his cell phone going off with static interrupting.
"Just what is this? Is that building really planning on another experiment?"
**************************************************************************************
The skylines were now beginning to glow with a neon green color after the mighty Juggernaut program was unleashed. Yamaki could only look on with a smirk on his face.
"Soon, all digital life will die! The only place that they should be quite useful is hell itself, where they can rot there."
A large crowd was starting to form as they gazed up into the sky and pointed out to the source of the green light, the Juggernaut being unleashed from the Hypnos building. They could only guess that it was some sort of top-secret government project.
As the people were too busy gazing up into the sky, Calumon was running alongside their feet as he tried to get away from Impmon, who chased the little white digimon. He was planning on taking out Calumon and loading up his data to make himself stronger.
"What do you want from me, Impmon?! This is no fun at all!"
"Aw, c'mon! Be a sport! All I want is your data!"
Then they also turned their attention over to the sky as the other people were. They looked on with awe expressions on their faces.
"Miss Washu? What is happening?" Ayeka asked.
"A wormhole. Looks like they're planning on cleaning up some garbage in this dimension. I didn't know there were people with such technology. Feh, amateurs. They ought to let me show them how it's done."
"You're getting way over you're head, little Washu."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Terriermon was pawing right towards the window and his eyes were locked onto the Hypnos building itself. Henry looked over at his digimon to see to what he was looking over to.
"Terriermon, are you alright?"
**************************************************************************************
"Veemon! Time to armor evolve! Digimental up!"
Davis' D-3 released the digimental of friendship, which allowed Veemon to undergo his armor evolution.
"Veemon armor shinka!! Lighdramon! The Storm of Friendship!"
With that said, Davis hopped onto Lighdramon. The armor digimon sprinted across the streets and avoided any contact with the wormhole. They had to avoid at all costs or else they would get sucked in as well.
**************************************************************************************
Rika was running through the crowd and then gazes right over towards where the source of the Juggernaut was coming from, Hypnos. And following her was Renamon, who was looking on from a nearby overpass.
[Final Fantasy 10 "Opening-Bombing Mission" plays]
Takato was soon running towards the center of West Shinjuku and towards the Hypnos area. Guilmon was soon following right close behind him. The young goggle looked up towards the skylines.
"It looks like the sky is on fire!"
Yamaki quickly removes his sunglasses, looks up at the skylines from above and a smile comes across the man's calculated face.
"Goodbye, beasts of mayhem! This world will soon be free of this hideous pestilence forever!"
Just then, he turns around to see none other than Takato and Guilmon stopping to face him. They then begin to look up to see numerous of wild digimon being sucked away into the vortex. Among those digimon were Tuskmon, Raremon, Golemon, Kuwagumon, and even several Tyrannomon.
"This doesn't look good, boy," said Takato.
"Takato! I'm starting to feel weird!"
"Why is this happening," Takato asked Yamaki with anger in the tone of his voice.
"There was no other choice," replied Yamaki, "All I can say is that we are controlling an infestation! All damn vermin must go!"
"You just can't destroy all the digimon! Besides Guilmon is my best friend!"
"You are so naive. This 'friend' here isn't capable of 'friendship' as it is nothing more than a dangerous artificial life form."
"That's no true! Digimon are… Well. They're cool! That's what! Guilmon is my best friend and lots of them are friendly!"
"Takato! It's coming! I can feel its presence," replied Guilmon.
As soon as Yamaki goes walking off, his communicator went off and he had just received from Riley. He answers.
"Sir! There is an anomaly has infiltrated the Juggernaut and is coming through the vortex," Riley reported.
"But that's impossible," exclaimed Yamaki, "This program was flawless! I designed it myself! I can't believe that this is happening!"
As soon as that happened, Hypnos quickly had sent out a report over to Yamaki through his communicator.
"Warning! There is now a vortex breach that will soon be imminent!"
Just then, a loud voice was heard from the skies above and was heard throughout the city of West Shinjuku. Yamaki growled when he heard the voice.
"You pathetic humans created us! But now we're free and now it is our time to claim their place in the real world. Humans will only serve one purpose, to serve the digimon!"
"Never! You're wrong! Just, who are you? What do you want?"
"I'm only a representative of those who are to be our masters!"
"No! I can't let you do this," Yamaki exclaimed, "I will never be a servant to any of you data scum!"
"It is because of you that this is happening! You have opened the portal into the real world for all of us to enter."
A digital field was enveloping the Hypnos building. Takato could only look on and perhaps foretell what could happen at any moment.
"If our worlds overlap, we could all be destroyed! There just has to be a way to close a plug into that gap between the two worlds,"Takato said to himself.
Just then, Takato turns around and sees Yamaki starting to berate himself for being foolish. He watched as the man was pounding his fist onto the ground out of sheer anger.
"Grr! I never should have allowed children to interact with digimon!!"
Takato turns away and then looks over towards the digital field. He ran over towards it and Guilmon goes to follow his human partner.
[Creed "What If" plays]
Yamaki comes walking away and then finds himself within the park. Just then, Henry goes walking by with Terriermon on his head. Yamaki turns around to face the blue-haired boy.
"Its you!"
"Yeah, what about me?" asked Henry.
Yamaki quickly snatches Henry by his collar and then picks him up over his head. Henry starts to struggle to break free.
"Its all your fault, boy!"
Terriermon quickly gets into defensive mode and then an angry look comes across his face, showing no fear towards Yamaki.
"You leave him alone!"
"Ugh, your not worth it," Yamaki muttered.
Yamaki quickly releases and places Henry back down onto the ground. Henry watches as Yamaki walks away. Rika and Renamon come walking by to see what was going on.
"Yo, who's the thug," asked Rika.
"He's trouble," replied Henry.
"You are all nothing but digimon loving freaks!! Look what you have done!"
As soon as Yamaki disappeared out of sight, Henry turns his attention back over towards Rika and nodded his head.
"So are you ready?"
"Mmhmm. Lets go."
The two Tamers headed over towards the digital field, where they would meet up with Takato. They now realize that they would be facing an enemy like no other.
As soon as they got there, they could see Guilmon and Takato looking up at the very top of the Hypnos buildings. Renamon rushes past them and then starts to fly up in order to make it towards the top of the buildings. Rika and Henry soon arrived to stand along with Takato.
Renamon looks across the building top in order to scan for her opponent. There was nothing yet. Even Rika was unable to pick up anything from her D-Ark.
"I don't get it. Why isn't my digivice picking up anything," Rika said.
"That doesn't make any sense," replied Henry.
"Well it's a digital field and something is bound to come," said Takato.
Suddenly, an image of a digimon was starting to appear on Rika's digivice but still nothing. She looks up and starts to worry for Renamon.
"I don't know why I'm not getting any data or information on this guy. This thing must be broken again! Crap!"
"Well, I don't care what it is," exclaimed Terriermon as he jumps off of Henry's head, "I'm going to take this guy on myself!"
"You ready for a battle," asked Henry.
"No! Renamon will handle this and I'll make her digivolve if I have to."
Rika goes running further within the digital field but Takato calls out for her and then pulls out a card from his pocket. He tosses it to her.
"Here! You can use this!"
Rika turns around and then watches as the card goes spinning towards her. She catches it and then slashes it through her D-Ark.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
"Card Slash! Evolution Upgrade!"

[Digimon Tamers first evolution "Evo" plays]
"Renamon shinka!!"
The fox's outer skin quickly started to ripple away and her data filled insides were exposed. Then a orb forms all over her body and then she became a Quadra pedal creature with nine tails on her back. She comes hopping out and was now in her champion level form.
"Kyuubimon!!"
As soon as she looks across through the digital field, she could see somebody fighting against what seemed to be a very large monster. The digimon that was fighting him was blue-skinned with red-fiery armor.
"Who is that? I've never seen him before! I didn't even detect his presence."
"Fire Rocket!!"
[Final Fantasy 10 theme "Crazy Motorcycle Chase" plays]
The digimon turned out to be Flamedramon and he was fighting off what seemed to be a large, tiger-like monster. Kyuubimon goes jumping in and executes Dragon Wheel on the rather gigantic feline. The tiger monster was penetrated by both attacks but it didn't even seem to faze him.
"Who are- Wait, I've seen you before," Kyuubimon stated promptly.
"We meet again."
"This is my battle."
"You'll need help. This pussy cat sure is one big fella."
"I didn't ask for your assistance."
"Just be glad that he didn't kick your ass before I got here."
"Whatever."
Suddenly, Rika's D-Ark started to go off and it was picking up the presence of another digimon. She looked down at it and an image of Flamedramon appeared.
[Flamedramon. Armor Type. Special Attacks: Fire Rocket and Flame Shield]
"Kyuubimon and that monster aren't alone! There's also another digimon up there! I just hope that they don't plan on double teaming Kyuubimon," exclaimed Rika.
"What? Another digimon?" asked Henry.
"That's why I should go up there now," exclaimed Terriermon.
"No you won't!" a voice called out.
The Tamers turned around to see a young man standing behind them with his D-3 at his hand. They were now just as surprised to see him with a D-3.
"Davis! What a surprise! We're glad you came!" Takato said.
"Sup, Takato? Don't worry, Rika. That's you're name, right? Flamedramon is on our side. He's my digimon partner and he's going to take on that tiger."
"Not if I have anything to say about it," said Rika, "You tell your digimon to lay off."
"Rika, just let them handle this situation on their own," said Henry, "I'm sure that they can handle it."
"And in case your wondering who the digimon he is facing. I can tell you."
[Mihiramon. Ultimate level. Special Attack: Samurai Tiger Tail]
"He's an ultimate level?! Yo, Davis! I don't think even a champion and an armor can beat an ultimate. Notice their power level difference?" Henry replied.
"Just watch. We've been taking care of business lately. He hasn't lost a step just yet."
"Oh yeah. The same goes for Renamon."
Flamedramon and Kyuubimon attack Mihiramon with fists and claws, but Mihiramon was able to avoid the head-on attacks. Flamedramon quickly powered up and a fiery aura forms around him. He goes shooting out like a torpedo and nails Mihiramon by his side. Flamedramon watched, as it had no effect. Kyuubimon comes out of nowhere and then executes another Dragon Wheel on the beast. Both attacks were ineffective.
"Ah! Now its my turn!" exclaimed Mihiramon.
The tiger roared out as his body started to shake and his power was quickly rising to new heights. He thrusts out his head and a huge barrier comes shooting out while sending both Flamedramon and Kyuubimon flying back.
"Samurai Tiger Tail!"
The force and the impact of the tail were strong enough to send both digimon flying off of the roof. Davis and Rika watched on as their digimon went flying down onto the ground.
"Flamedramon!"
"Kyuubimon!"
Flamedramon quickly de-evolves back into Veemon and goes landing right into Davis' arms. Kyuubimon goes landing on the ground and creates a small crater into the ground. Rika runs over towards Kyuubimon, as her body started to lose data and quickly de-evolved back into Renamon.
"Veemon, speak to me buddy!"
"…Tell me the number on that bus…"
"Renamon…"
"That's it, Henry! I'm going in!" exclaimed Terriermon.
[Card Slash theme "Slash" plays]
As soon as the small floppy-eared digimon went running into the digital field, Henry pulls out his card and then slashes it right through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Evolution Upgrade!"
Evolution!!
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Terriermon shinka!!"
Terriermon's outer skin quickly started to ripple away and his data filled insides were exposed. Then an orb forms all over his body and then he became a pant-wearing, gun swinging rabbit creature a bullet chain around his chest. He comes jumping out and was now in his champion level form.
"Gargomon!!"
Gargomon quickly powers up and then starts to fly up towards the top of the roof, where he would meet up against Mihiramon. He looks across and then sees nothing.
Rika holds Renamon up and the fox quickly manages to speak up.
"Rika. That digimon is strong… possibly at the ultimate of mega level."
"No way! You guys! He's at an ultimate level. None of our digimon can go ultimate."
"If only I had enough power to fuse with Veemon, then we become Paildramon to take this tiger by his tail. Paildramon would be able to easily vaporize that kitty cat. But it takes a whole lot of time to do such an action. Besides, Veemon is worn out after that long fight before Kyuubimon came."
"How are we going to beat him if he's at the ultimate level," asked Henry.
"We can't give up! No way," exclaimed Takato, "Lets just hope that Gargomon can hold him off for a little longer."
Back on the rooftop, Gargomon looks across to see red eyes glowing from the digital field itself and looks on to see a figure starting to surround him.
"Looks like I'm screwed. He found me. But I'm not going to give up. I can't let Henry down!"
Suddenly, a star-like attack nails Mihiramon from behind. Then, an insect-like creature comes out of nowhere and decks Mihiramon right in the side with a purple-like blade. The two digimon turned out to be none other than Stingmon and Shurimon.
"What the?! Hey it's you guys! But where do you always come from?" Gargomon asked.
"We'll explain later. I say a little triple team should do the trick," said Shurimon.
"Lets do it!"
Mihiramon quickly gets to his feet and then faces towards the three digimon. He goes charging right for them with his claws outstretched. The three digimon get into battle stances and go to use their attacks.
"So, you fools want a little one on three?! There's no way that you will ever beat the power of a deva!"
"You talk too much! Try this on for size! Gargo Laser!!"
The gun bunny was able to keep Mihiramon at bay with rapid shots from his two chain guns, which allowed Shurimon and Stingmon the chance to attack. They attacked the tiger with rapid fists. Shurimon goes flying up and shoots out his Double Star, which nailed right in Mihiramon's head. Stingmon gets into a stance and a ball of ki forms in his hands. He shoots it out and sends it right towards Mihiramon. An explosion occurred, which put the three on alert. Was that blast enough to put the tiger away? Their question would soon be answered as Mihiramon phases right behind them and a ki ball forms from his mouth. He shoots it out towards the three unguarded digimon.
"Thought you had me? Think again!"
Yolei and Ken go running by to meet up with Davis and the Tamers, but to their utter disappointment, they saw Stingmon and Shurimon falling off with Galgomon after a failed attempt to put away Mihiramon. They diverted back into their rookie forms. Yolei managed to catch Hawkmon in time just as Ken and Henry caught their falling digimon.
"Well that's not good," exclaimed Yolei, "How can we beat him? Even our digimon are too weak to fuse with us."
"Well not for everyone of us. Wormmon, was he really that strong?"
"Yes, Ken. It's abnormally strong. Stronger than any ultimate I've ever fought."
"That settles that theory of mine," said Ken.
"Huh?" Davis added.
"We can't fusion evolve with our digimon unless it's for extreme emergency."
"This is an emergency, Ken!" Davis exclaimed.
"The thing is that our digimon's ki could destroy this building and cause destruction around the civilians."
"What other choice do we have?!"
Takato looks up towards the top of the Hypnos building with an angry look on his face. He looks over to Guilmon.
"Alright, boy! It's down to you and me! This is our last shot! Ready to rumble?"
"You bet! Lets rumble!"
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" theme]
Takato pulls out a card and then slashes it right through his D-Ark and watches as Guilmon was getting set to evolve.
"Card Slash! Evolution Upgrade!"
Evolution!!
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Guilmon shinka!!"
Guilmon's outer skin quickly started to ripple away and his data filled insides were exposed. Then an orb forms all over his body and then he became a larger version of his rookie form but with a bit more body muscle mass and a white streak of hair on his head and two horns at the top. He comes jumping out and was now in his champion level form.
"Growlmon!!"
"Alright! Here we go, Growlmon! Card Slash! Hyper Wing!!"
With that said, Growlmon quickly powers up and a pair of wings appears on his back. He goes flying right up towards the top of Hypnos and lands where he would face the tiger, Mihiramon.
Terriermon manages to tell something to Henry concerning the battle. Henry gasps and then looks over towards Takato.
"According to what Terriermon is telling me, this digimon always circles before he goes to make his attack," Henry said, "Then that's where you can make an attack."
"Alright! You hear that Growlmon? Do that! Maybe that should be the best we can do," Takato said to Growlmon through his D-Ark.
With that said, Growlmon goes charging towards Mihiramon and the tiger goes to slash him, but Growlmon quickly phases out. This catches Mihiramon off guard, and Growlmon comes out of nowhere and nails Mihiramon right in the side of his left cheek. Growlmon goes hammering with powerful fists into Mihiramon's gut.
"Dragon Slash!!"
Growlmon goes and slices at Mihiramon's side with the tip of his bladed arm. Mihiramon goes crying out in bloody murder, but quickly regains his senses.
"Take that! I'm going to take you down, kitty! Pyro Blaster!!"
The red dinosaur goes shooting out a fiery red blast that went flying right at Mihiramon with rapid speed. As soon as the blast came hurtling towards Mihiramon, the tiger was able to phase away just in time. As soon as Growlmon was about to turn around and attack, he was caught off guard as Mihiramon appeared right in front of Growlmon and bite him right on his side.
Suddenly, Takato started to cry out in pain and clutched his left shoulder, the same exact spot where Mihiramon bit Growlmon. He fell down onto the ground and dropped his D-Ark. The others looked on with surprised looks on their faces.
"Takato!!" exclaimed Henry.
"Takato!!"
Suddenly, Nefertimon and Pegasumon come flying by with TK and Kari riding along. The others looked on and were more than happy to see them. Kari looked down and saw Takato sprawled on the ground while clutching his shoulder.
"Takato!! Hang on!!"
The two flying digimon dropped off both Kari and TK, which allowed Kari to run towards Takato's fallen body. She kneels down and goes to attempt to pick up Takato.
Yolei and Ken looked on with utter shock. Davis had just seen about enough of the chaos. He turns to face Veemon and pulls out his D-3.
"That's it! I'm through with this shit! Fusion evolution!!"
"Davis! No!" the others exclaimed.
"Sorry, guys! But Guilmon needs our help! Let's do this Veemon!"
[Digimon Zero Two "Beat Hit!" plays]
"Veemon shinka!! Xveemon!!"
As soon as Xveemon appeared, he and Davis were pulled together into a bright orb. Eventually, the orb morphed and it evolved straight into a tall, humanoid figure with body armor, clawed limbs and legs retained from Xveemon himself.
"Paildramon!!"
"Davis! Wait!" Yolei exclaimed.
"You're power as Paildramon will cause devastation!" Ken stated. "We're in a city. It's not safe to pull off such a stunt."
"You said we can only fusion evolve through extreme emergencies. Guess what? This is an emergency! I'm sorry but we can't let Guilmon get pounded to oblivion! Hang on, Growlmon! Reinforcements are on the way!"
Paildramon powers up an aura and flies up towards the top of the Hypnos building. Mihiramon sensed a strong ki and turned to find Paildramon facing him.
"So, another unworthy opponent for me? You dare challenge a deva?"
"Deva, shemva. What you are is a pile of crap. Let's dance!"
"As you wish!"
Mihiramon goes charging towards Paildramon. The humanoid warrior braces himself and pushes back against the tiger deva. Paildramon hoists Mihiramon by his face and slams him against the ground. Growlmon was slowly recovering.
"Growlmon! Are you alright?"
"Yes, thanks. I just need to recover."
"Save up your strength. I'll fend this ass off."
"Samurai Tiger Tail!!"
"No you don't! Cable Crusher!!"
The two ultimates locked horns once again with Paildramon seemingly overpowering the deva.
"What strength! I'm impressed by your tenacity!"
"You ought to see me when I'm angry over the last donut!"
Paildramon flies up and drops down towards the deva. The fusion digimon slams himself against Mihiramon. Growlmon managed to save up some more strength.
Meanwhile, Kari and TK were doing their best to try to revive Takato. The goggle boy had fallen into unconsciousness. After some encouraging words from the duo, Takato had come back to his senses.
"Takato! You can't give up! This is just a side effect! I've seen this happen before! My brother was at a situation like this during our fight against Burizalor. He felt his body enduring pain because of every hit that War Greymon was taking. This is completely natural and a good sign."
"Kari… What does it mean?"
"That you and Guilmon are connected. You now share the same bond, the same friendship and the same heart. You together are one. You two have shown your allegiance and loyalty towards one another. Much like my brother, Tai, and Agumon. Please, don't let it scare. Make yourself stronger. Just look deep into your thought and into your heart…"
Just then, Takato starting to feel more motivated and felt more energy flowing through him. Now he was able to read right through Growlmon's mind since they now are sharing the same connection as Tai and Agumon did before them.
"Growlmon! Can you hear me? I'm here for you buddy! We're going to pull through with this. Trust me! What do you say, buddy? A little boost sound like a plan?"
"Tamer! We are one! Yes, I can feel your heart and your soul flowing through me! We will bring this kitty down! Lets do it, Takato! I'm ready!"
"Alright Guilmon! That's it! We got this one in the bag! I'm not going to let you down! We're not wussing out anymore!"
Just then, a bright aura was starting to glow around Takato and it started to spread out and the ground was caving in under his feet. He pulls out his last card from his pocket and it quickly turned into a blue card with a yellow dinosaur symbol at the end of it.
"Guilmon!! I can feel your power flowing through me! Together, we are going to tame this tiger! Card Slash!!"
Suddenly, a bright red beam comes out of nowhere and it goes flying towards the top of the Hypnos buildings. The Digi-Destined and the Tamers could only look on with awe at the bright beam. Growlmon let out a terrifying roar and a powerful aura forms all over his body. Paildramon felt Growlmon's increasing power and he was astonished. Paildramon jumps up and dropkicks Mihiramon in the back of the head.
"He's all yours, Guilmon!" Paildramon exclaimed.
"Growlmon!! Evolve!!"
"He's going for it! And he sure isn't letting the tremendous energy get the best of him. He's using it to his advantage. Kind of reminds me of myself when Gatomon and I were in that training room for a year before our fight with Virus,"Kari said in thought.
"This reminds me when Tai and Agumon first fused to become Omega X! It's incredible! And he's just going to evolve into an ultimate-level digimon," Nefertimon said to herself.
Mihiramon watches as Growlmon flips up onto his feet and his body started to transform.

Just then, a diamond-like shape appears with Calumon in the center of it and Growlmon's body starts to morph. Metal plated armor appeared on his back and blades grew from his arms. He was now half-cyborg but retained some of his Growlmon features.
"War Growlmon!!"
A large cloud of smoke was now starting to clear away and Mihiramon peered right through to see none other than War Growlmon facing him off with an intensified look on his face. Mihiramon was completely shocked as he sensed his adversary's power level already quickly surpassing his.
"Now that's what I can an ultimate form!" Paildramon added. "This ought to be a good show.
"How can this be?! You have an even higher power level than myself! I will not allow myself to be beaten by such a beginner like you! It was that human that gave you this power! That course of action sickens myself and the other assistants of mine!"
"Why don't you shut your mouth, bitch?" said War Growlmon.
"How dare you defile with foul language! So be it, traitor! You will die!"
Mihiramon goes flying right towards War Growlmon and lashes out at him with his Samurai-Tiger Tail. War Growlmon goes steering back with force while holding out his arms in a crossed position.
Takato goes stalling back just as War Growlmon was and then was quickly regaining his breath.
"You were right, Kari. Every hit that he takes, I take as well! But that sure isn't going to slow me down!"
The group just could only watch on with amazement at the relentless and determined Takato really was, just as he was performing at this very moment.
"That the best you got, weakling?" Mihiramon taunted.
"I was just warming up!"
The tiger goes charging over at War Growlmon as he quickly begins to fade out in ever direction. War Growlmon looks on and then takes advantage by nailing Mihiramon at his exact location, which surprised the tiger even more.
"Its time to take the tiger by the tail," exclaimed Takato as he clenched his fists and began to scream with intensity.
"Ooo. This one is going to hurt," Paildramon said.
War Growlmon let out a cry of intensity as he grabbed Mihiramon by his tail and then swung him up into the air. War Growlmon powers up and then a door opens in his chest. A beam of energy was quickly forming and starting to get bigger. He aimed it right over towards the flying Mihiramon.
"You've been a naughty kitty!! ATOMIC…"
"BLASTER!!!"
With that said, War Growlmon thrusts out his arms and a large, powerful beam goes shooting from his chest and towards Mihiramon as the tiger began to let out a horrifying cry. Mihiramon watched as his body was started to ripple away and bits of data was flowing from out of his now weakened body. He managed to speak before getting fully engulfed by the beam.
"You and the other digimon could have had supreme power over the two worlds! But you had to ruin everything!! Augh!!"
"He's sure not coming back in time for Christmas," remarked Paildramon.
Mihiramon then quickly exploded into a stream of data and War Growlmon watched as the data started to disperse. Suddenly, a beam of light came shooting down on both War Growlmon and Paildramon. It came from a nearby helicopter. Inside was none other than Yamaki. He looked right down at the two ultimates with a sheer look on his face.
"I can't believe those kids were able to defeat it! And all this time, I thought they were just playing a damn game! Well, I've just realized that this is going to require a whole lot of additional research."

Elsewhere, Kazu and Kenta were playing over at the park while discussing some issues, including that of Takato and his so-called 'real digimon'.
"So, are you jealous that Takato is a Tamer?" Kenta asked.
But right before Kazu was going to answer his question, he looked out towards the Hypnos buildings and gasped when he saw a large dinosaur coming down from the top of the building and the digital field slowly dissipating.
Jeri looks ahead and then rushes over towards where the others watched the battle between War Growlmon and Mihiramon.
***************************************************************************************
The dark figure watched as the first proud warrior had fallen to War Growlmon. He growled under his breath.
"So they were able to defeat Mihiramon? No matter, we've got eleven more suitable warriors to get the job done. I won't fail you next time, master."
**************************************************************************************
"He did it. I can't believe he did it," Paildramon said while levitating down.
"Well its obvious. Kari was motivating Takato and it sure helped," Yolei said, "After all, she was motivated by Tai. It sure worked in Takato's favor.
"And our digimon were unable to defeat Mihiramon but yet War Growlmon got the job done. Now this is something I have to investigate for myself," Ken replied.
"Go for it, then!" Yolei remarked over to her husband.
Just then, Kazu and Kenta managed to arrive in time to see War Growlmon descending over towards the ground and in front of Takato.
"Whoa! Is that really Guilmon," asked Jeri.
"Heh. He digivolved twice! War Growlmon, his ultimate form," replied Kazu.
"Did Takato leave?" Jeri asked.
"No way! A real Tamer never leaves the fight," exclaimed Kenta.
"Takato. I'm so proud of you. You managed to overcome the extreme powers. Even I had trouble doing so when I tried to have Gatomon ascend to her next level, but Guilmon was easily able to ascend. Great work, Takato."
"Thanks. I appreciate the help. Thanks you guys," Takato said to every one of the Digi-Destined and the other two Tamers. "I couldn't have done it without your help."
Takato goes running up towards War Growlmon and embraces him with tears full of joy. War Growlmon looks down at Takato and then speaks up.
"Takatomon. You are worthy, Tamer. Thank you for fighting by my side," War Growlmon replied.
"But I didn't do anything but trust in you."
"And that's what counts. You made me strong just as you said that you would, Takato. Thank you."
Takato nods and then shares an embrace with his newly evolved digimon partner, but now was more of a 'friend' than a partner.
"We'll always share the same friendship, boy."
That was one mighty evolution, Takato! War Growlmon puts Mihiramon away as if he were nothing. But who was Mihiramon referring to and what other new threats are soon going to come according to the dark figure?
