[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]

A Rumble in the Bronx! Rapidmon's Rapid Fire & Taomon's Dance in the Moonlight!

The city of West Shinjuku was just as beautiful as ever, however, the streets were just as busy as usual. And children were now leaving school to enjoy themselves by either going to the park or onto the school playground.

A boy was seen receiving a couple of new cards to add to his digimon card collection. A radiant smile comes across his face as he looked at the new cards with a happy look on his face.

"Yes! I'm not done with my collection! These are just the cards that I needed."

But just as he was about to walk away, he accidentally trips and falls over. His cards tumble down onto the floor. He then looked ahead and saw what seemed to be a strange-looking card.

"Hey, wait a minute. I don't remember having this one."

He picks it up and examines it. The front cover had a picture of several Motimon with hardhats.

"No. This is really weird. Where did this card come from? I better show this to the other guys."

**************************************************************************************

Elsewhere, a blonde-haired young man was fixing to order to brunch meal. He turned around and noticed that a woman was behind him.

"Ah, Kari! You startled me there for a minute!"

"Sorry, TK. I had to fight through traffic. It's such a pain in the butt."

"Don't worry. You're not late. I was starting to get our orders."

"Oh, what did you get me?"

"Hot coco as usual."

"Aw, you've read my mind."

Kari sat down from across TK at a small two-seat table. They were outside the café and it was a perfect day to get away from such a stressful day.

"So, I heard that you're brother came to visit the other day."

"Yeah. He finally got to meet Takato."

"Wow. That must have been so good for Takato. So, what happened?"

"Well besides introducing themselves to one another, we've had another run-in with a Deva."

"Another one? You know these Devas are starting to bother me. What do they want from us?"

"You're telling me? These things are ultimates, yet they seem to be fighting like megas. It's indescribable."

"I see. So far, only Guilmon has digivolve into ultimate. Time will only tell when Terriermon and Renamon gain that opportunity."

"We also have ultimates of our own. Do you think it's a wise choice for me not to fusion evolve into Celesta X. After all, I could vaporize these Devas effortlessly."

"You made the right choice. We have to let Takato and the others win their battles. That's the only way for their digimon to reach new levels. Besides, you're power might cause harm to the city."

"Yeah. Oh, TK…"

"Yeah?"

"I don't know how to say this, but…"

"You can say it…"

"You've been so good to me ever since we've moved in together. I want to repay the favor…"

"You do? Kari? Just what are you thinking?"

Kari placed her hand around TK's shirt and giggled. She inched over towards his face. TK noticed the sparkle in Kari's auburn eyes and went along with it. He inched closer towards her face.

"Takeru…"

"Hikari…"

Just as they were inches from planting one, the waitress came walking by ready to get their order. She looked on with widened eyes and a sweat drop coming down her forehead.

"Um, excuse me? Can I get your orders?"

The couple fell out of their chairs and flat on their butts. The audience looked on from the background and were amused by their comic routine. All of a sudden, their romantic scene turned into a comedy routine within a flash.

"Oh, sheesh. How embarrassing," TK thought.

"I was so close," thought Kari.

The couple dusted themselves off and returned to their seats. From there, they would place their orders and went out their conversation. There was another time for the romantic moment.

Looking on from outside the café, a girl with jet-black hair had thoughts going about in her mind. This girl was wearing a light green summer dress, a pair of white shoes and was carrying a delicate, white purse.

"No way. I can't picture Inuyasha and myself like that. No way, no how! He's first going to have to learn to give me respect."

With that said, Kagome went about to start another day of taking it easy after a long week in the feudal era. This Inuyasha she spoke of was a half-demon and half-human. Though, she can never admit it, but Inuyasha had become one of her closest friends outside the modern era. Unfortunately, these two often get into fights.

*************************************************************************************

As soon as he arrived over at the school playground, the kid was discussing with his friends about the mysterious card that he had found.

"So, you found this? You don't even remember if you had a card like this?" another boy asked.

"It looks like a fake. I haven't seen that card before," replied Kazu.

"So you guys want it? I don't need it."

"Um, sure. Here Kenta. Maybe you can hold on to it," Kazu said.

"I don't know. How can we be sure that it's even that useful of a card? Hey, Henry, why don't you have it?"

"Well, ok. If you insist."

"C'mon, dudes! Let's go check out that Dungeon Dice Monsters arena! I bet Duke Devilin has more information on that tournament."

"Speaking of tournament, when's that Battle City tournament going start?"

"I heard it would start next week. I've been seeing duelists playing some exhibition matches before the big tournament. I'm going to have to start my own duel monsters deck," Kazu said.

"Not unless I start and find new ways to kick your sorry butt, Kazu."

"Kenta. Kenta. You'll never learn."

Kenta hands the card over to Henry. The blue-haired boy examined the card with a look of curiosity. The other boys walked off as they headed for home. Henry was still looking over the card. Terriermon broke out of his 'doll state' and hops down from the slide.

"What do you think, Terriermon? You think I should keep it?"

"Why not? Give it a swipe."

"Well, alright."

Henry takes the card and slashes it right through the D-Ark. And as quickly as he did that, the card transformed and changed into a deeper, blue color. Much like the one Takato used before. Henry stared at it in complete shock.

"Whoa! You see, Henry! You see? You should listen to me more often."

"I don't know… Something doesn't seem right here."

**************************************************************************************

Meanwhile, over at the West Shinjuku Dragon Hotel, Izzy was still trying to solve the case of the mysterious digimon cards. After a long night of work and investigation, Izzy feel asleep on his desk. Tentomon was too falling asleep but he tried to urge Izzy on to finish up his investigation.

"Man, even after giving him ten cups of coffee, he still manages to fall asleep on the job."

Just then, the door bell rings and Tentomon flies on over to open it.

"Who is it?"

"Its me, Tentomon."

"Cody? Armadillomon? Is that you guys?"

"Yeah, can we come in?"

Tentomon opens the door to let both Cody and Armadillomon in. Cody has been staying with Yolei and Ken for several days. This was Cody's week off from school. He only has a chance to get these week offs every four months.

"Cody, so did you get some more cards?"

"Yeah. I figured I could help Izzy with his investigation. But it looks like he's asleep on the job."

"Aw, I could use a little napping myself," Armadillomon yawned.

"Armadillomon. But you were napping along while on our way over here," Cody said.

"I better go wake Izzy, then."

The insect flies on over to his human partner and starts tapping his shoulder.

"Hello! Earth to Izzy! Wake up…"

"It doesn't seem to work! Maybe we should try a little more persuasion."

"You're right and I got just the thing. Hey Izzy, your computer froze again!"

With that said, Izzy quickly sits up and gasps at the word frozen. He looked over at his laptop and it was still in good condition. He punches on his keyboard and it was still functional.

"That was your idea of persuasion?" asked Cody.

"Well, either that or throw his laptop out the window. I had to take extreme measures," the insect replied.

"Well, be glad that you didn't throw out my laptop. So, did you bring them, Cody?"

"Sure did. I got a ton of them. I even got some duel monster cards."

"We really didn't need those."

"I know, but I want to start my collection."

"Oh, that's a start."

Cody hands several digimon cards over to the red-haired computer whiz. Izzy skims through each of them and they were cards of some of the Destined's own digimon.

"And I got an Armadillomon card just for myself."

"Yeah, but I look so much better in person," replied Armadillomon.

"Lets check this out," Izzy said as he placed a card of Tentomon in his laptop.

"Hey, you're looking up my… profile?"

Just then, a profile of Tentomon was displayed on his laptop, with all of his statistics and evolutions. This caught Izzy by surprise.

"What's wrong, Izzy?"

"Well, this is inconceivable. Cody, the last time I checked a card, it displayed a box where I had to enter a password while using a Gatomon card. But using the Tentomon card enabled me to look up Tentomon's own profile."

"So, I must be famous around here. What's the big deal?" Tentomon asked.

"Its a big deal because somebody out there knows about us and knows a whole lot about digimon. It must be a coincidence."

"Odd. And just a couple of days ago, I sent Digmon to help the Tamers out. According to what Digmon told me, the tamers used those same cards to their advantage using Card Slash techniques through their digivices."

"Really? So, these cards must be some sorts of energy boost for their digimon, which makes them a whole lot stronger."

"That so? But there's just one question, I've been meaning to ask. What do you call this?" Cody said as he held out a blue card.

"A blue card! I've never seen anything like that. Here let me take a look at it."

"Sure."

"Did you by any chance use it?"

"No. I just found it."

Cody hands the card over to Izzy and he places it in his laptop. As soon as he began to scan through the codes, he saw the word Shibumi appear. Izzy looks on and begins to think to himself.

"Shibumi? Is that a name of a person or something? Or is this just a code? Well, whatever it maybe, I have a hunch that it has a lot to do with the cards itself. Then, maybe, we can find its originator."

"So, what is it, Izzy? What did you find?"

"Cody, looks like we got a serious case in our hands," Izzy replied.

************************************************************************************

Back over at Henry's house, the young boy came walking in and noticed that his father was home a little earlier as usual.

"Dad. Could you help me out with something?" Henry asked.

"Um, sure. What is it that you need?" replied Mr. Wong.

As soon as Henry got done explaining, Mr. Wong walks over towards Henry's room and sits down at the computer.

"Ok, lets take a look at it. The card."

"Right. Here."

Mr. Wong places the card into the reader and then pushes it in. The computer starts to read the card from the reader.

"So, what exactly did you install?"

"Its kind of a high-tech scanner. I managed to install it earlier in the week," said Mr. Wong, "Ok, lets see what we got here."

The computer was now starting to load up and a bunch of numbers started to appear on the screen.

"What are all those numbers, dad?"

"Not sure yet."

Just as he said that, Mr. Wong gasped at what he saw next and this quickly catches Henry's attention. He was curious to know what had appeared on the computer screen.

"What is it, dad?"

"Oh, I thought I saw something. But its nothing but meaningless pieces of data," Mr. Wong assured him, "Where exactly did you get this card?"

"Oh, one of my friends gave it to me."

"Interesting…"

***************************************************************************************

Gatomon and Patamon were strolling across the streets, while their partners were out having brunch. Gatomon looked over and saw a man walking through the crowd in a yellow jacket. She felt a weird vibe coming from this strange man.

"I've got that feeling again…"

"Gatomon? You've been like this for the past day. What's wrong?"

"I've been feeling weird vibes. Pata, take a look at that guy with the yellow jacket."

"I see him. What's the big deal?"

"There's something about him. He doesn't seem to be human."

"What? You sure?"

"Positive. Let's not say or do anything for now. Let's just keep an eye out for him."

"Right. I got ya."

"Yes. We'll run into each other again, weirdo. I will get to the bottom of this."

"Hey! I think I see TK and Kari leaving the café! Let's go!"

"Wait for me, Pata!"

**************************************************************************************

Meanwhile, Kazu and Kenta were just about to walk over towards the Dungeon Dice Monsters arean. That is until, a guy with a red cap stepped in front of them. This guy's cap was tall and loomed over his head. He has dark brown hair at the back and distinctive silver bangs covered his forehead. His eyes were slanted to the sides, which gave them a menacing glare. The guy was wearing a green, long-sleeved shirt with a tan coat over it and blue jean pants.

"Well, if it isn't my old friend, Kazu."

"Man, I never thought I'd see you again, Rex Raptor. The pleasure is not mine!"

"Don't get you're underwear in the mix, Kazu. Just be grateful that I went easy on you last time we dueled with duel monster. My dinosaurs made mince meat out of your deck!"

"You caught me off guard, dude! Plus, you threatened to chunk my digimon cards in the pond! Those are rare collectibles!"

"Don't tell me you're challenging me again, Kazu. The result is going to be the same."

"We'll see about that. I've got my deck! Do you got yours?"

"I carry them everywhere I go. You should me by now, Kazu."

"Kazu. You can't duel him now. We've got a get to the Dice Monsters arena. They're going to close early since its Sunday."

"What's the matter, Kazu? You chickening out already?"

"Fine! I challenge you to a duel now!"

"Fine. We'll duel with these."

Rex Raptor tosses Kazu a spare dueling disk, which is recently a state of the art.

"What the heck is this?"

"The new dueling disk. These will be used for the Battle City tournament. You'll be a great warm-up. Heh. Heh."

"We'll see who's the warm-up, punk."

"I hope you've got a worthy deck, because my dinosaurs are ready to stomp you again!"

"Kazu…"

"Not now, Kenta. Just cheer me on! This rematch is mine!"

"Let's duel!"

The two duelists got their dueling disks in check and pulled out their deck. Their life points were started at 4000.

"I guess I'll start just to be a nice guy," Raptor said. "I'll place one card face down and I'll throw in the Two-Headed King Rex in attack mode."

In front of Rex Raptor were a hologram of a facedown card and a monstrous image of a purple tyrannosaur with two heads. Two-Headed King Rex was leveled at 1600/1200. The monster's roars were enough to give Kazu chills.

"Make your move, Kazu!"

"You bet! I'll put one card facedown and I'll throw in Doma the Angel of Silence! He'll be in attack mode!"

An angel-like warrior appeared before Kazu with a staff in his hand. This monster has a level at 1600/1400.

"Kazu! You're still an amateur at duel monsters! You know that our monsters can't attack one another with equal attack points! What have you been smoking?!"

"Not unless I use this card! My facedown card is the Shield & Sword card!"

"Oh no! That means that the attack and defense points of our monsters are reversed!"

"That's right, which makes you're Two-Headed King Rex at a wussy level of 1200 and my monster at 1400."

"Damn!"

"Doma attack and destroy his Two-Headed King Rex!"

With that said, Doma charges at the Two-Headed King Rex and slashed him with his staff. King Rex screams out before he was vaporized. This brought Raptor's 4000 to 3800.

"Aw, did I just ruin you're reputation dinosaur boy?"

"Keep laughing now, Kazu! I'm taking this duel again!"

"Bring it on!"

*************************************************************************************

Later that day, Henry met up with Rika and Takato as they were discussing the whole blue card matter. Takato was the first to speak up among the group.

"Blue card? Well, this isn't the first time that a blue card showed up. I got a blue card on the day I first met Guilmon. And I received another during the battle with Mihiramon. But after took events took place, those blue cards disappeared."

"Well, what could this mean?" Henry asked.

"We won't know unless we use it," Terriermon said, "Geez, just lighten a bit. I'm sure it will be useful."

"Maybe…"

"Maybe not. I only saw a blue card once before," Rika said, "Just before I got Renamon that is. I say it's just a piece of trash."

Henry examines the card a bit and then places it back into his pocket. He then looks over to his fellow Tamers.

"So, where exactly did you say you got this card? Who gave it to you?" asked Takato.

"It was given to me by one of my friends, but it was just a normal card right before I slashed it through my digivice."

"And then it just turned blue from there?"

That's right, Takato. And my dad was able to check it out. He put in the scanner, but all he said to me that it was nothing but a bunch of meaningless, nothing more."

"Well, I think we should give this situation a little investigation. I really want to know how these blue cards instantly appear."

"While you two have your little investigation. I got to be heading off. Investigations are just a waste of my time," Rika said as she walked off.

"Don't worry about her," Takato said, "She just has things to do. You know. But I'll help you out, Henry."

"Thanks, Takato."

"What are friends for?"

Rika looks backwards without even turning her head and overheads their conversation.

"What are friends for? You're such a goody, goody, Takato. But then again, you always seem to want to cheer everybody up. Including myself. Well, you just try so hard, goggle head."

"So, should we begin like right away?" asked Takato.

"If you want to. It doesn't really matter to me."

"Well, we better make up our minds now before we grow old and die," Terriermon remarked.

"Point taken," said Henry.

The two Tamer boys headed off into the park in search of the boys that were hanging out with Henry earlier ago. The investigation would begin now. But first, Takato had to go see Guilmon before heading out.

**************************************************************************************

As soon as they made it over to Guilmon's house, Takato comes walking in to see his digimon friend. He let Guilmon know that he and Henry were heading off into the city to investigate the whole blue card mystery.

"So. I can't come, Takato?" Guilmon asked.

"I'm sorry, boy. But we're heading out into the big city and we don't want the people to see you exposed out in the open. They'll think that you're some kind of wild animal of sorts. But I'll tell you what, once we get done, I'll come back to bring you some more bread."

"Promise?"

"Promise. Just stay in here, Guilmon. Don't go wandering off, even if Calumon comes by and asks for a nice game of tag."

"Ok, I will keep my promise. Bye, Takato."

"See ya later, boy."

"Terriermon, your so lucky. People don't get scared when they see you."

"Hehehe. I know."

***************************************************************************************

The duel between Kazu and Rex Raptor continued. Kazu was in the lead with 2300 and Raptor was at 2100. Raptor was forced to watch as some of his best dinosaurs were demolished, though he retaliated by taking Kazu's warriors with magic and trap cards.

"Look who's in the lead, Rex. What's the matter? Are you embarrassed to get upped by an amateur like me?"

"We'll see about that. It's not over yet!"

Rex Raptor pulls out two more cards to his hand and a devious smile appeared across his face.

"What are you smiling for?"

"I'm smiling, because I'm going to end this duel! It was nice knowing you, Kazu. Remember how I creamed your as last time?"

Kazu remembered and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Aw, no! You don't mean!"

"That's right, punk. Prepare for you're demise! I summon the Serpent Knight Dragon!"

The dragon was summoned as his level was at a strong 2350/2400. Since Kazu's life points were at 2300, this was definitely it for him.

"No! If you have him attack me, then I'm a goner! I have no more monsters to protect me on the field!"

"That's right, Kazu! You shouldn't have challenged me again! It's all over for you! Serpent Knight Dragon! Attack his life points!"

Serpent Knight Dragon made his attack and Kazu looked on to realize that he was going to be defeated again.

"No! Ha, got ya!"

"What are you babbling about?!"

"I activate my facedown trap card! The Spell-Binding Circle!"

"No! That means my monster's attack points are cut in half!"

"Make it 700 points off, but close enough. You're monster is at 1650! Now I summon forth Kojikocy!"

"But his attack points are only at 1500!"

"Who said I was done? Now shut your mouth and watch me raise his attack points with the Lighting Blade! It increases any warrior monster's attack points by 800. Since Kojikocy is at 1500, his attack points are raised up to a strong 2300."

"Damn it! I was so close!"

"Now, Kojikocy! Attack the Serpent Knight Dragon!"

Kojikocy charges at Serpent Knight Dragon and easily demolishes the weakened monster with a sword slash. Rex Raptor could hardly believe it.

"No… This can't be happening!"

Raptor's life points dropped all the way down to 650.

"What's the matter now, Raptor? Are you getting bad luck against an amateur? I might as well take your place in Battle City then."

"No. It's not over! For you it is. I'm just about one turn from having my monster wipe out the rest of your life points. It's all about sweet revenge, baby!"

*************************************************************************************

As soon as they made out into the city of West Shinjuku, the Tamer boys were having as much bad luck as they could ever had. They asked several kids about seeing any strange blue cards, but they all each replied with either a 'no' or 'you're crazy' type of remark.

After about an hour of investigation, the boys were quickly becoming exhausted and they found a bench for them to sit on. Terriermon was just about to pass out from because of the long run.

"Man, so this is how you guys exercise. Remind me never do try it again. I can't feel my feet," Terriermon remarked.

"Its hopeless. Nobody else has claimed to see a blue card. Maybe they're just some fakes that some practical joker decided to make. Anybody could make a card if they wanted to, let alone, a blue one," Takato said.

"But then again. Why did it give Guilmon the power to evolve into his ultimate form? I don't regard that as a fake. There's something about these blue cards that we don't know about. They might contain some sort of mysterious power."

"Don't worry, Henry. Maybe, we can get to the bottom of this. Lets just take a breather, cause I'm about to pass out over here," Takato said, "Is it just me or has the weather been getting a lot warmer than usual."

"Its just you."

"Next time, you should consider never to wear heavy clothing with weather like this. By the time summer comes by, you're going to be roast beef," Terriermon said.

"Funny," the goggle boy replied with a chuckle, "Besides, this is serious work here."

"I know but I just needed to lighten to mood. Momentai, Takato."

**************************************************************************************

Back over at Henry's apartment home, Mr. Wong was about to go up to the roof to exercise a bit but then thoughts were starting to run through his mind after reading those anonymous words on the computer after scanning the blue card.

"I remember back in my old college days. It was all simple back then, exciting and fun. And it has all come down to this. Plus that strange man who had asked me to help him find one of my colleagues. I just can't understand why they would shut down the project so early. I thought I would have never seen them again but then a strange blue card appears. And my own son brought it home. There's no way I could ever tell what those codes really mean. How could I even lie to my own son and what am I supposed to tell him?"

*************************************************************************************

Later in the day, Izzy and Cody were still hard at work while investigating and skimming right through each card that Cody had brought with him. But as soon as he finished scanning the last one, Izzy looks over and sees the Gatomon card.

"So, anything yet, Izzy? We've been investigating almost the whole day. Can't we like rest or something?"

"Not yet, Cody. I'm certain that I can crack down on this case. And I just might know a why to do this. Watch and learn."

With that said, Izzy places the Gatomon card into his laptop card scanner. The same was always, a box appears in the middle in the screen, requesting for the password to be typed in.

"Alright. Keep your fingers crossed, guys."

Izzy quickly types in 'Shibumi' and then waits for the password to be accessed. And as quickly as possible, it confirmed the password, which brought smiles across the faces of the two Digi-Destined.

"Prodigious! We're in! Learn from me, Cody. If you're a computer whiz like myself, you could learn a lot."

"No doubt. So, what do you see now?"

"A menu and a bunch of files. And… Whoa…"

"What's wrong, Izzy?"

"Cody. Looks like we hit the jackpot."

"The jackpot?"

"We got everything we need here. The secrets to the cards."

**************************************************************************************

An hour later, Mr. Wong was about to take a walk from his home, but then he turned around as he had forgotten to grab his cell phone that he left behind.

Just a few yards away, the Tamer boys were over at the park as they were planning out their next move for the day.

"Alright, let's try this again," Takato said. "We've had an hour to rest up."

"Sure, I guess. Hopefully, we can get more clues. This is so stressful."

Terriermon felt the presence of something and turned around to see none other Impmon walking out from the bushes with a smirk on his face.

"Well, well. If it isn't the little helicopter-eared weenie, you ready for a little rematch from the last time we duked it out. This time you aren't going to cheap shot me."

Terriermon quickly jumps off of Henry and then goes to face off the little virus rookie.

"Sure. I could the exercise," replied Terriermon, "What do you say, Henry? Can I have a shot at him?"

But he noticed both Takato and Henry looking the other way and seeing none other Mr. Wong himself. The father looked over at his son and then to Terriermon. Shocked expressions came across their faces.

"Hey yo! Helicopter-head! I was talking to you," exclaimed Impmon, "Well I guess you have to do what your partner tells you then! Your a disgrace to all digimon."

"Did he just say, digimon?" asked Mr. Wong.

Impmon turns around and looks over at Mr. Wong with a look of bewilderment. The man slowly goes to confront him.

"Are you a digimon?"

"Ack! You better get back, jack!"

Impmon gets into a defensive state and quickly tosses a fireball over at Mr. Wong, but he manages to shield himself with his briefcase, just before he could get burnt.

"Dad!! Are you alright?!"

"But you're only a game," Mr. Wong replied.

"I've got your game right here!"

He shoots out a fireball and it nails Mr. Wong in the shoulder, which caused the man to yelp a bit. Impmon deviously smirked and was about to throw another one. But just as Impmon was about to make his attack on Mr. Wong, Terriermon goes running up to the man and shields him.

"You better back off!!"

"Huh?! You're protecting him?!"

"You wanna play? Ok, lets play ourselves a little round of kicking your behind!"

"Ugh! If one master is not enough, so now you have to have two! You humans are beginning to make my skin crawl! I'm out of here!"

Impmon goes bouncing away into the bushes in hopes of finding him some other people to bug for the day. Henry looks over to his father and was surprised that he found his own father in the park and seeing the live digimon for himself.

"I guess we sure showed him, huh, Henry?"

"Dad?"

"Henry… We need to talk…"

Henry gasps and then quickly snatches up Terriermon as he runs off with Takato out of the park.

"I'm sorry! I can't!"

"Henry! Wait!!"

**************************************************************************************

Meanwhile over at Hypnos, the team was able to pick up the locations of two Wild One about to bio-emerge. Usually, there would have been just one at a time, but now there were two.

"Sir, we were able to activate the Yuggoth program but it was quickly neutralized," Talley reported.

"Damn! Its useless then," Yamaki replied.

"It's coming from the Juggernaut core again. But there isn't just one," Riley said.

"Yes, this time there are two of them."

*************************************************************************************

Rex Raptor was reeling against Kazu. Raptor had gained another advantage and managed to deplete Kazu's life points down to 200.

"I'm back at the lead, Kazu. You're just another steppingstone! I'm one turn away from taking away the rest of your life points!"

"Is that right?"

"What? Stop bluffing! You know you're beaten!"

"Not unless I have this polymerization card. You see I'm going to fuse both my Blue-Winged Crow and Niwatori monsters."

"You're going to fuse them to create what?"

"You ought to know. Oh wait, you specialize at dinosaur monsters. Allow me to freshen your memory. Activate polymerization!"

With that said, the magic card fused both of Kazu's monsters to create one. Now there was a large, parrot-like monster with a demonic glare in it's eyes. It was ready to take away Rex Raptor's remaining life points.

"Say hello to my Punished Eagle. His level is at 2100/1800."

"Ack! This isn't a perfect way to warm myself up for Battle City. Why do these things always happen to me?"

**************************************************************************************

The Tamer boys met up with Rika and were walking towards the area of Akihabara. Terriermon was the first to speak amongst the quiet group as usual. He noticed that Henry was not acting like himself. He felt rather depressed

"C'mon Henry. Everything is going to be all right. Momentai."

"Rika, Henry isn't acting like himself. What should I say to him at a time like this?"

"Why don't you just do yourself a favor and try something different for a change. Like keeping your nose out of everybody's business."

"But I have got to something."

Elsewhere, Calumon was flying around the busy streets of Akihabara in hopes of finding somewhere to play. He noticed that there were a lot of people to choose from.

"Wow! This sure looks like a good place to play! I just hope that these people are friendly enough. Culu. Culu."

But as soon as he said that, he heard loud car honks, which caused him to go flying back while covering his ears. He goes landing onto a nearby porch and tries to shake the cobwebs out.

"Ow! All of that noise just gave me a killer headache. These people aren't nice at all."

*************************************************************************************

Rex Raptor witnessed as his life points were dropped down to 0 after an attack on his life points. Kazu raised his hand in victory.

"Yeah! Nothing but sweet revenge!"

"Way to nail it to that jerk!" Kenta exclaimed.

Kazu and Kenta exchanged high-fives, while leaving Rex Raptor in defeat.

"Good luck at Battle City, loser!" Kazu said. "You hear me, loser?"

"This isn't over yet! Just watch me breeze and make my comeback! Just you wait!"

"I hear an echo. C'mon, let's celebrate by going to the Dice Monsters arena!"

"Um, it's already closed, Kazu."

"NO!!!"

"Ha! I'm sorry you don't get to go into the Dice Monsters arena today, kid. Looks like I got the last laugh after all," Rex Raptor chuckled.

"Man, just as I've gotten sweet revenge," muttered Kazu.

"Oh well. There's always tomorrow," replied Kenta.

*************************************************************************************

Elsewhere within Akihabara, Izzy and Cody were walking along while carrying their respective digimon, Tentomon and Armadillomon. So far, the crowds have been totally unaware of the digimon since they were in their 'doll states'. They were walking in hopes of finding Davis and Veemon. And with luck, they saw Davis running up towards them with Veemon around his arm.

"Hey guys! Over here! Geez, I've been standing out here on this spot for like an hour! My feet were getting tired."

Izzy and Cody turned to face Davis and they rushed right over towards him.

"Well, you didn't call out loud enough. You know that Akihabara is busy like any other day," Izzy said.

"So, what did you found out about the cards? Anything yet?"

"Yeah, as a matter of fact I did. I was thinking of getting ourselves some lunch while discussing the matter."

"Food! I could sure go for some…" Armadillomon managed to say but was stopped short by Cody.

"C'mon, your supposed to stay in doll form, remember?"

"Sorry, but if I hear food, then I'm going to flip."

"Well, what are we waiting for? Lets go get ourselves some grub!" Davis said.

Suddenly, the electronics around them were starting to malfunction for some unknown reason. Davis stopped short and looked around.

"Aw, man. Look what you did, Davis!" Veemon remarked.

"Me? My voice doesn't sound that bad!"

Just then, some sort of rift was forming in the sky above. The Digi-Destined looked up to see a hole opening up. The digimon reverted from 'doll state' and they sensed an incoming ki power. Make it two ki powers on their way.

"Davish, there's something on its way over here," said Veemon.

"What?"

"You can feel it too, Armadillomon?"

"Yeah and there's two incoming powers are their way here."

"They're right, Izzy. And as far as I'm concerned, they are both of the ultimate-level."

"Not good, considering that Armadillomon and Veemon can only become ultimate if they fuse with Davis and Cody, but I don't think you guys have enough power to fight off these threats. Except maybe you, Tentomon."

"And I will be ready, don't you worry."

"That's what I'm worried about."

**************************************************************************************

The Tamers' digimon also felt the incoming presence of two highly powered kis on their way into the Earth's realm. But since Guilmon was conspicuous by his absence, Terriermon hopped down and looks up into the rift in the sky. The Tamers looked up as well.

"There's something about to emerge from that rift," exclaimed Takato.

"And these malfunctioning electronics are going haywire! Something is about to go down from here," Henry said.

"Renamon!"

As soon as Rika called out to her digimon, Renamon appears on top of a light post while looking up to the skies.

"Two ultimate-levels. And without Guilmon, we might have a hard time dealing with these new foes."

"We sure as hell can't fight them alone," remarked Terriermon.

Suddenly, a digimon emerged and hovers down towards the area where the Tamers stood. The creature turned out to be a sheep-like creature with ram-like horns. Its upper body had two arms and its lower body had four legs. And then another emerges, but this one was a bull-like monster with two swords on his back. He also had a lower body with four legs and an upper body with two arms.

"Whoa! Who opened the door for these weirdos," Terriermon asked.

"Don't under-estimate them. They're ki is very high," Renamon reassured him, "And I do believe much higher than the last Devas."

Henry pulls out his D-Ark and quickly gets an image of the sheep monster, plus its statistics.

[Pajiramon. Ultimate-level. Deva. Special Attacks: Treasure Bow and Thunder Stomp]

Takato pulls out his D-Ark and gets a quick reading on the bull monster, not to mention an image.

[Vajiramon. Ultimate-Level. Deva. Special Attack: Deva Blade.]

"It all begins here," said Vajiramon.

"And it ends here!" Pajiramon replied after stomping down on a nearby car.

Just then, the Tamers turned to see the three Digi-Destined. Veemon, Armadillomon and Tentomon were more than ready to fight.

"Whoa! Davis? Who are these two guys?" asked Takato.

"You guys here to help us?" Henry asked.

"Hey! It's nice seeing ya again, Takato!" Davis replied.

"We can save the reunions for later. We must attack them all together," Takato said.

"Wait a minute. Renamon doesn't need your help?" Rika said to the other digimon.

"Actually, its best that we each take turns. You two take the bull. We'll take the sheep," Izzy said, "So what do you say? Its better that way."

"Sounds like a plan. What are we waiting for then? Lets do it!" exclaimed Takato.

The two devas went to nearby electronic stores as they began to feed on the electronic equipment. Vajiramon was seen stuffing his mouth with CDs and stereo parts. Pajiramon lets out a scream that would make nails on a chalkboard sound like a tiny fly. It causes a huge shockwave among the city and the group was covering their ears in sheer pain.

"Ok! I've heard enough of that! Lets go, Veemon!"

["Break Up!" plays]

Davis' D3 shot out a beam of light and it gave Veemon the power to evolve into his champion-level form.

"Veemon Shinka! Xveemon!"

Cody's D3 also shot out a beam of light and it gave Armadillomon the power to evolve into his champion-level form.

"Armadillomon shinka! Ankylomon!"

Izzy's digivice also shot out a beam of light and it gave Tentomon the power to evolve into his champion level form.

"Tentomon shinka! Kabuterimon!"

The three champions all stood in one spot as they began to power up. There were aura flares around their bodies, which brought a smile to the face of Pajiramon.

[Ankylomon. Armadillomon's Champion form. Vaccine Type. Special Techniques: Tail Hammer & Megaton Press]

[Kabuterimon. Tentomon's Champion form. Vaccine Type. Special Technique: Electro Shocker]

"So, you three wanna dance? Ok! Lets dance!"

"And you'll be shocked to realize that I can dance with the best of them," Xveemon exclaimed.

"Xveemon! Time to get serious," said Kabuterimon.

"You maybe a ultimate-level but you couldn't beat the three of us!" Ankylomon said.

"We'll see. Show me your great power, traitors," Pajiramon said.

Meanwhile, Terriermon and Renamon both faced off Vajiramon. The bull was looking down upon them while cracking his knuckles.

"So, which one of you weaklings wants to challenge my power?"

"Careful guys. I'm willing to bet that electronic equipment was able to stabilize their bodies. Don't under-estimate them," Takato said, "So they were unstable before."

"Don't worry, we're going to clear their table and send them home packing where they belong," Terriermon assured them.

"Well, I'm waiting! Who will be the first to die?"

Terriermon and Renamon both get into fighting stances and they quickly let out screams. Their bodies exploded with auras surrounding them. Vajiramon smirked and held his hands out as if he were telling them to bring it.

Xveemon goes flying right at Pajiramon first and goes to hammer her away with fists, but Pajiramon was able to maneuver away from each punch being thrown at her. Xveemon flips up and then nails a flying kick to her. Pajiramon ducks under and delivers an uppercut to Xveemon, sending him flying up. Kabuterimon goes for an elbow shot but Pajiramon caught his arm and flips him over. Pajiramon quickly reappears behind him and delivers a mule kick, sending Kabuterimon flying through a nearby building. Ankylomon charges right over to Pajiramon and then goes to use his bulky body to push Pajiramon off of her feet, but to no avail. Pajiramon delivers a head butt that even Ankylomon was unable to overcome. Pajiramon smiles and quickly turns to see Xveemon delivering a spinning heel kick to her, which connected with her face. Xveemon smiles at what he had just done, but then gasps as Pajiramon looks over at him. She delivers a punch, sending Xveemon flying back once again.

"Xveemon! Hold on!"

["Break Up!" ends]

With that said, Davis' D3 reacted it allowed him to merge with his partner.

[Digimon Zero Two Fusion Evolution theme "Beat Hit!" plays]

"Xveemon! Fusion Shinka!"

Within a matter of moments, the two were merged together into a single warrior. The warrior came out of the smoke in a stance.

"Paildramon!"

"A human and a digimon merging together?!" Pajiramon exclaimed. "What a sad day this turned out to be. You're power still is no match for mine!"

"You sure do talk a lot of smack! Time to smack the taste out of your mouth!"

With that said, Paildramon rushes at Pajiramon and wallops her with rapid punches. Pajiramon was taken back by her adversary's resiliency.

"Yeah! Way to nail it to him, Davis!" Takato exclaimed.

"They've merged! This happened last time with Mihiramon," Henry explained.

"He's taking it to her," Rika said. "Damn. Those are going to leave a mark."

Pajiramon was slowly recovering from Paildramon's relentless assault.

"Must not face defeat at the hands of this hybrid…"

"What? You're getting your ass kicked! Face it. I'm a whole different league from you Devas."

"Curse you…"

Vajiramon goes charging right over to Terriermon and goes stomp him, but Terriermon was able to maneuver from each stomp. Renamon leaps up into the air and then crosses her arms to unleash her 'Diamond Storm'. But the diamond barrage was unable to penetrate through Vajiramon. The bull turns around and quickly sends an energy blast that rocks Renamon backwards. Terriermon takes advantage and goes to shoot out his 'Bunny Blast', but Vajiramon quickly nails an elbow shot to his face. Terriermon goes flying back down hard.

Pajiramon turned away from Paildramon and moved directly towards Ankylomon.

"No! Ankylomon!" Paildramon exclaimed. "Look out!"

"So, what's your name, traitor?" Pajiramon asked Ankylomon.

"None of your business, lamp chops!"

"Grr! You're going to regret that!"

Pajiramon delivers a mule kick right to Ankylomon's face. Kabuterimon gets to his feet and then goes flying into the air as he forms an energy ball in his hands.

"Electro Shocker!!"

He sends the ball of electricity down over towards Pajiramon, but she quickly pulls out her bow and then shoots out a beam-like arrow canceling out the attack.

"Impossible!"

"I was able to detect your very attack. I call this attack, Treasure Bow."

Paildramon appears in front of Pajiramon and smacks her in the face. The force of his punch sent the Deva crashing through the ground.

"Excuse me! You were saying?" Paildramon stated.

"Deva Blade!!"

The ox-like monster managed to take down both Renamon and Terriermon with this very attack. Both fall down to the ground with bruises. Vajiramon slowly walks over towards their fallen bodies with a satisfied look on his face.

"Rika! Lets use our cards! That's the only way that they will stand a chance," said Henry.

"Ok!"

Both of them pulled out their cards and slashed them through their D-Arks.

"Card Slash! Crystal Fire!"

"Card Slash! Thor's Hammer!"

Renamon quickly clasps her hands and then unleashes balls of fire energy. She shoots it out towards Vajiramon. And Terriermon goes to bash the ox with the monstrous hammer. But Vajiramon was quickly able to cancel out the fire with his blade and delivers a head butt to Terriermon.

"Oh no! It didn't work," Takato exclaimed.

"So, that's how the cards work. Wow, if only I had one of those," Paildramon said. "Whew. We got more important matters to attend to! Ankylomon!"

Ankylomon quickly gets to his feet and then goes to swing his tail club right over towards Pajiramon.

"Tail Hammer!!"

Pajiramon was able to see it coming as she phases away and sends out a blast at Ankylomon, sending him flying back over crashing into several cars.

"You three shall be honored. You are going to be absorbed by me. I will make sure that I will load each and every single of your data," Pajiramon said.

"No! Kabuterimon!!"

As soon as Izzy cried out, his chest began to glow and the symbol of Knowledge was glowing brightly, which gave Kabuterimon the power to evolve into his ultimate-level form.

"Kabuterimon chou shinka! Altur Kabuterimon!"

[Altur Kabuterimon. Tentomon's Ultimate form. Vaccine Type. Special Technique: Horn Buster]

Pajiramon turned around to see Altur Kabuterimon facing her. He quickly powers up and a huge energy blast comes shooting out from his horn.

"Horn Buster!!"

Pajiramon watches as the blast came flying right at her and sending her flying back. Altur Kabuterimon flies right over towards the fallen Pajiramon and goes to attack her head-one, but Pajiramon gets up to her feet and unleashes a thunderstorm. Altur Kabuterimon felt the quake and he loses balance. Pajiramon takes advantage as she hammers away at Altur Kabuterimon.

"Oh no! Taking cheap shots while they're down and you call yourselves warriors?!" exclaimed Paildramon.

Paildramon responds to his partner's pleas and goes flying right over towards the battle. Then crosses his arms and unleashes a barrage of energy blasts right over at Pajiramon.

"Desperado Blaster!!"

Pajiramon gets nailed by the impact and allows Paildramon to go flying down towards her. Pajiramon slowly shakes the cobwebs out, but watches as Paildramon delivers a kick to her.

"Hi-yah! Those old Jackie Chan films really helped a lot."

Pajiramon goes flying back onto the ground and the advantage was now on the side of the three Digi-Destined.

But the Tamers were not fairing well as Vajiramon had taken out both Terriermon and Renamon with huge assaults.

"Pajiramon! Remember, we are here to load their data, not to toy with them. That will be a huge mistake on our part if we were to under-estimate them. We must collect as much energy from these traitors and send it back over to the Dark One."

"Just who is this dark one that they are referring to?" asked Takato.

"I don't know and I don't care! Its time to take out the trash," exclaimed Henry.

Henry quickly pulls out a card and then slashes it right through his D-ark.

"Card Slash! Evolution!"

Evolution!!

Henry's digivice shot out a beam of light and it was now emitting all over Terriermon's body. His body starts to grow and his outer skin started to peel away to reveal his new form, which would be his champion-leveled form.

"Terriermon shinka!!"

Now Terriermon was a tall, pant-wearing rabbit-like digimon with two chain guns on each arm, in fact, they were his new arms. And a green facemask covered his face. He gets into a fighting pose and whips out a belt and places it over his chest, which had bullets on them, which would be his ammunition for his two chain guns. Finally, he calls out to his new name.

"Gargomon!!"

Gargomon goes charging right over towards Vajiramon and attacks him head on with multiple shots from his guns. Vajiramon grabs his sword and spins it around to protect himself from the shots.

"What's the matter? Aren't you going to digivolve? I would just have to hate to load you before I get the chance to see your evolved form," Vajiramon said over to Renamon."

"Pig."

"What did you say?!"

"She said that she wouldn't want a ugly mug like yourself to take a look at her! Now where were we? Oh yeah! Gargo Laser!!"

Vajiramon quickly plows through while spinning his sword to block out the shots. He rams his shoulder right into Gargomon and sends him flying back.

"Henry! Here use this card!"

"Thanks!"

Henry takes the card and slashes it right through his D-Ark.

"Card Slash! Hyper Speed!"

"Maybe that should give Gargomon an edge now,"Takato said to himself.

Gargomon goes and attacks Vajiramon with an onslaught firing attack, but Vajiramon quickly sends him down with a kick.

"Gargomon!!"

"Now, this is where it ends, traitor. Do you have any lasts words?"

"Yeah, kiss my bunny ass."

"What?! For that, you die, insolent fool!"

Vajiramon goes to rise up his sword and looks right down over at Gargomon straight into his eye.

Back over at the other battle, Pajiramon shoots out three energy blasts, sending both Altur Kabuterimon and Ankylomon down. Paildramon managed to withstand the blasts.

"You guys, okay?" Paildramon asked. "Those blasts only tickled me, Deva!"

"Its time we end this!" exclaimed Pajiramon, "It's been nice knowing you, but orders are orders. Your data is ours."

"No you don't!" Paildramon exclaimed as he readied his blasters.

"Ankylomon!" Cody cried out.

"Altur Kabuterimon!" exclaimed Izzy.

"Henry! Why don't you use the blue card! Maybe we have just this last chance!"

"Are you sure? How do you even know it will even work," asked Henry.

"We won't now until we try!"

"Alright then."

[Tamers Evolution theme "Evo" plays]

Henry pulls out his blue card and then slashes it right through his D-Ark.

"Card Slash!! Matrix Evolution!!"

As soon as that happened, a bright beam of light goes shooting up into the skies and the Tamers all looked on, but saw that it didn't do a thing in Gargomon's favor. Vajiramon was distracted by this and looks up. Henry stands there with a shocked look on his face. Vajiramon turns his attention over to the fallen Gargomon and goes to stab him.

"No! Don't do it," exclaimed Henry.

"I must! It is my duty."

Just then, Takato notices a red beam coming shooting out of nowhere and skyward. He looked and saw the source of the beam, from Calumon himself. The Tamers watched as the beam shone over Gargomon, which now would enable him to evolve into his ultimate-level form.

Matrix Evolution!!

"Gargomon shinka!!"

A red diamond-shape appears with Calumon's face on it along with Gargomon, who was now beginning to evolve. Gargomon's body transforms from a organic body form straight into a cyborg with metal plates all over his body. It was all green and his arms were now missile launchers. His head was covered in metal plating.

"Rapidmon!!"

As soon as Vajiramon was about to impale Gargomon with the sword, he realized that he only managed to stab right through the ground. He looked around and was shocked to see that his adversary was quick enough to dodge his blade. He quickly turns around to see none other than Rapidmon staring him down.

"Whoa! That's Terriermon's ultimate-level form?" Takato asked, "How awesome!"

Rika pulls out her D-Ark and it displayed an image of Rapidmon, not to mention his statistics.

[Rapidmon. Ultimate-level. Warrior type. Special Attacks: Rapid Fire and Tri-Beam.]

"Prodigious!" Izzy remarked. "Just in time!"

"Wow, so this is Matrix Evolution?" Cody said.

"Now we've got another ultimate to our roster," Paildramon stated. "You're in big trouble now, Deva. You're like so totally screwed."

Rapidmon quickly delivers a kick, sending Vajiramon flying back. Then Rapidmon quickly reappears behind Vajiramon and delivers another spinning heel kick to the Deva.

"He shoots and scores!" Rapidmon exclaimed.

"How dare you! Quit trying to make a fool of us, Devas!"

"Well, looks like I've already have, beefcake! Rapid Fire!!"

Rapidmon shoots out lighting fast missiles that sent Vajiramon down to his knees.

"Yeah! Bow to your master!"

As soon as Pajiramon was about to make her move, Rapidmon quickly phases right in front of her.

"Going somewhere?!"

"You! Take this!"

Pajiramon shoots out her 'Treasure Bow' attack but Rapidmon was able to maneuver away from each arrow being shot over at him with ease. Rapidmon quickly phases out and appears in the sky above.

"Whoa! That guy is radical!" Paildramon said.

"He should have enough power to beat him," Izzy said, "He's got those two already weakened as we speak!"

"Well, well. Looks like I might have a worthy opponent at last," said Pajiramon, "Now which one of you humans will be my shield?"

"None of them! Time to serve us some lamb chops!!"

With that said, Rapidmon quickly powers up and an aura forms around him. Then he forms a triangular shape and holds it out. He looks down at the two Devas and then shoots it out with tremendous force.

"Tri-Beam!!"

The Devas watched as the tri-beam went right through them and quickly disintegrated both Vajiramon and Pajiramon. Their screams were heard amongst the town but were next to nothing as soon as they were vaporized.

"Alright! We did it!" exclaimed Takato.

"Way to go, Rapidmon!" Henry said.

["Evo" ends]

The other Digi-Destined sighed as relief as their digimon quickly reverted to their rookie forms. Davis and Veemon were powered down from their fusion form. They rushed over towards the Tamers and acknowledged them.

"Great work, Tamers. Looks like Tai and Kari were right about you. You're a very resourceful team," said Izzy, "We too are Digi-Destined."

Rapidmon quickly lands onto the ground as three rookies look around him as if he were an exhibit.

"Wow! I wish I had armor like you!" Veemon said.

"Ha. Ha. Well, this is my special armor. You can't buy them anywhere else."

"Well, we now know what we have in store for us next time," Takato said, "But thanks for backing us up there, guys."

The three Digi-Destined nodded.

"Not a problem. You can count on us, or vice versa," Cody assured them, "But next time, it just may not be that easy."

They all nodded in agreement as they carried on their conversation concerning the Devas.

**************************************************************************************

Back over at Hypnos, Riley and Talley were quick to realize that one of the Wild Ones were still out in the city of West Shinjuku.

"They've both just disappeared," said Yamaki. "Looks like we've caught some footage of other wild ones. I've never seen them before."

"Sir, I'm still getting a reading on one of them," Riley reported.

With that said, a large pair of data regrouped and formed a body. Vajiramon managed to reappear in another section in West Shinjuku, despite the Tamers' and Digi-Destined's hopeful attempt.

**************************************************************************************

Back over at Henry's apartment home, Mr. Wong managed to catch up with Henry as they talked inside Henry's room. Mr. Wong looks over to Terriermon with a smile on his face.

"Terriermon. I would like to say thank you for saving my life earlier today."

"Well I had to. You are Henry's dad."

"Dad, I'm sorry for not telling you about this sooner," Henry said, "Its really hard to keep a secret this long and you took it a lot better than I thought you ever would.

"I understand completely. Plus, there's something that I haven't told you either. And it's time that I should. About twenty years ago, a couple of my old college friends and myself got together to do some designing on a voluntary computer project, and though we were just doing for fun, we needed up creating the first digimon. We were creating artificial life forms on the computer and even figured out that a way to install a survival-instinct mechanism, which functioned just like it does in wild animals but nobody, expected a bunch of college students to have such incredible results. We were actually able to give the creatures each individual personalities and fighting abilities. Unfortunately, we never even got to see the final version of them as the sponsors cut the funding as their biggest breakthroughs happened, and the project dried up. Thus all the Digimon games that my friends and I play with were based on a research project that was never completed, and we never got credit for."

"Hmm. That really stinks."

"But it was a long time ago," Mr. Wong assured him, "At least our project wasn't wasted, now kids all over the world have something fun to play with. Terriermon, what do you know about the blue card? When I analyzed it, I noticed Shibumi's code appeared in the data. You have any idea of might could have done that?"

"Hey. You said yesterday that they were just meaningless data," Henry said.

**************************************************************************************

Elsewhere and out on the night streets, Rika and Renamon both come face-to-face with Vajiramon. Rika looks on with shock on her face and couldn't believe that Vajiramon was able to survive.

"You?! I thought you were dead."

Vajiramon points over to Renamon and the neon-colored fox nodded in agreement.

"I understand…"

With that said, Renamon goes walking up towards Vajiramon.

"What's going on, Renamon?"

"It's Vajiramon. He wants to talk to me."

"That is correct."

"She can talk right here!"

"Silence!! You ungrateful human."

"Sorry but Renamon is not going! We don't trust you."

"Rika, you need to let me do this. I need to speak with him."

"But, how can we possibly trust him?"

"I have questions that only he can answer. I won't be gone for very long."

"What kind of questions?" asked Rika.

"I promise to explain everything when I return."

Renamon then walks off with Vajiramon as they were walking towards a path into a nearby digital field. Rika looks with worry and hope that her partner would eventually return unharmed.

"It looks like I'll just have to trust in Renamon this time."

But little did she realize that she was watched by the two figures that had confronted the other Tamers. The blue-skinned young man and his panda follower were looking on, just before they both phased away to remain hidden from the Tamer girl.

***************************************************************************************

The dark figure with the 'D' marking on his forehead appeared on top of a water tower. His eyes were crimson for him to see clearly through the darkness.

"Excellent. Now Vajiramon will persuade her to join our elite. The master will be pleased."

**************************************************************************************

Twenty-four hours have passed and everything wasn't going very well for Rika. It all started when Renamon left with Vajiramon. All Rika could ever think about was the safety of her digimon partner and could only hope for her to return eventually.

"Renamon. It's a day already and I'm beginning to wonder if something bad happened to you. But you said yourself that you would return and make good on your promise."

"Rika!"

The red-hair girl turned around to see her own mother looking down at her with a smile on her face.

"I hope that dress suits you well, dear."

"Ugh. You mean this ugly ol' thing? Why did I have to do this photo shoot for? I told that I don't like wearing these dresses."

"Young lady, that is a designer's blouse. And I just talked to the photography director. The shoot is going to start in a few minutes."

Just then, the photography director comes walking in with a matching hat for Rika's outfit and handed it to her.

"Now, lets how you look with that hat on. Show us a smile too."

Rika placed the hat on her head and a small frown came across her face. She then faked a smile.

"Oh. Now that is just gorgeous, Rika! Are you ready for the shoot?"

"Oh yeah. I'm so excited," Rika said while rolling her eyes.

As soon as the photo shoot got started, Rika was standing in the middle of a gray background while looking over at the camera.

"Alright Rika! Show us that smile! You just look gorgeous."

After giving off a smile, several cameras were flashing all over her surroundings, which caused her to get distracted and irritated. She growled and looks over at the camera that was standing right in front of her. As soon as it was about to shoot another picture, she pushes the camera away and runs out of the studio.

"Hey, where are you going?!"

"Rika Nonaka! You get back here, immediately!"

Rika goes running out of the studio and tosses the hat onto the ground. She goes walking off onto the streets with an angry look on her face.

"I can't believe I was forced to undergo through all of that torture! Smile at the camera?! Give me a break! I rather get eaten by a snake than put up with that crap again."

*************************************************************************************

TK and Kari were sitting on their couch as Davis and Cody was telling them everything that occurred at Akihabara. They heard about the Devas invading and Rapidmon's evolution.

"So, Terriermon finally digivolved?" TK asked.

"Yeah and that little dude had it in him!" Davis said. "He wiped out those two Devas like they were nothing!"

"Amazing. So he just digivolved and took care of them that quickly?" Kari asked.

"Like we said before," Cody stated. "You should have seen it. It was insane."

"Let's just be glad that you guys managed to clean up those Devas' act," Gatomon stated.

"All that's left is Renamon. Something tells me that she'll reach ultimate-level sooner than we think," TK said. "But that all depends on Rika…"

**************************************************************************************

Back over at Henry's apartment home, the Tamer boys were discussing the issue going on between Vajiramon and Renamon. Plus they were starting to worry over Renamon's disappearance from several days ago.

"It's been days since Renamon left with Vajiramon. I wonder what's keeping her so long," wondered Takato.

"What I want to know is who those two mysterious people were and how would they know so much about us."

"We can just always ask them and force them to talk," Terriermon said.

"That's not the way I wanted to get some answers. But you know what, that just might work."

"But we really have to hope that Renamon returns. I can't imagine ho Rika is going through with all of this."

"No matter how much she doesn't want to admit. I know deep down inside, she really misses her," Takato said, "Heck. I would feel the same way if I had lost Guilmon."

"Maybe your right. I guess we're just over exaggerating over this whole ordeal," said Henry, "I guess Renamon wanted to understand something about Tamers from a Deva's point of view."

**************************************************************************************

Rika was standing over at the West Shinjuku Bridge and looking over her D-Ark. She was hoping to get an energy signal from Renamon, but thus far, nothing has happened and it only made Rika worry even more.

"Renamon. Where could you be? I just hope you can live up your promise."

The girl sighed and then goes walking down the bridge and heads back for home. Now she feels rejected by her own digimon.

"She left me. I just know she left me."

Rika walks down the street and could only think of much Renamon meant to her, but now, she wasn't sure if she can trust Renamon. She felt as though her own digimon partner had left her out in the cold.

***************************************************************************************

Later that night, Rika's mother was upset over what her own daughter had done earlier in the photo shoot. She felt embarrassed and hurt to say the least.

"I can't believe that my own daughter would do this to me. She left and it totally embarrassed me. I've never felt so humiliated in my life."

"Dear, maybe she didn't want that camera test," Rika's grandmother said, "You just can't force that upon her."

"You think so?"

"I know so. She didn't want that camera test. You did. You have to let Rika decide for herself and she will figure out what's best for herself."

"Maybe you're right. Maybe I shouldn't push her for things she doesn't feel comfortable with."

Just then, the front door opened and Rika was walking in while putting her shoes away. Rika walks in and turns around to see her own mother confronting her with a serious look.

"Young lady, what you did earlier today was childish. I demand a apology from you."

"Well, I don't feel like owing you anything."

Rika simply walks past her mother and towards her room. Rika's mother looks on and could only stand much from her own daughter.

"What am I going to do with that young lady?"

************************************************************************************

Back over at Henry's apartment, Terriermon was looking out the window and his ears lift up as if he were picking up an energy signal. He goes over and gets Henry's attention.

"Henry. It's him. I can feel his ki level."

"Who, Vajiramon?"

"No! Santa Claus!"

"Ha. Ha. Funny. So, where is he?"

"He's not very far from here. We can get there as soon as possible, but we are going to need both Rika and Takato. Especially Rika."

"You're right. No telling if Renamon had also returned."

"Lets go."

Henry nods and lifts Terriermon up as they both headed out of the apartment. First, they would go get both Rika and Takato and lead them over to their destination. Henry calls up Rika through his cell phone and gets an answer from the red-hair girl.

"Rika! Terriermon felt an enormous energy level and predicts that Vajiramon might have returned with Renamon. Go check it out. We'll meet you over there."

"I'm on my way!"

Henry then goes and dials up Takato's number to get a hold of him.

"I just we get there as soon as possible and lets hope for our sake that Renamon is over there."

***************************************************************************************

Back over at Hypnos, Riley and Talley were having a friendly conversation amongst each other about each other's daily lives.

"So, how was your day off yesterday," asked Talley.

"Same as always. I really need to lose some weight, cause my uniform is starting to tear up and I need the perfect figure to really fit in this suit."

"Your lucky. You seem to always get a day off every now and then."

"I guess I work hard. I really deserve those breaks."

"But I work just as hard as you."

"Don't get your underpants all bunged up, I was just making a point…"

But just as soon as she was about to finish her statement, the alarm went off and every worker was running around the place. This could only mean one thing and that would be the location of a bio-emergence.

"Ugh, isn't there ever going to be a peaceful day around here," Talley remarked.

The two women ran upstairs and met up with Yamaki as they returned to their positions to begin locating the recent bio-emergence.

"When will this hellish nightmare stop," Yamaki said to himself.

"We're sending down a tracer over the bio-emergence now," said Riley.

"Stand by," replied Talley, "It is located over at the local stadium and the bio-emergence is imminent."

"There's nothing we can do but all we can do is locate their positions. Even if we try the tracer, they will always bio-emerge. This is nothing more than becoming a major nuisance. There has to be a way to stop these things," Yamaki said.

***************************************************************************************

Suddenly, there was a digital field forming in the stadium, which could mean only one thing. Vajiramon was now returning back into the real world where he would meet up with Renamon as they plan to negotiate. Vajiramon looked across his surroundings and felt an energy presence. He turned around to see none other Renamon appearing. The neon-colored fox jumps and flips from the very top of the stadium. She lands right in front of Vajiramon.

They looked at each face-to-face with serious looks on their faces. Vajiramon was the first to speak.

"Welcome Renamon. Your presence is nothing more than poetry in motion."

"Cut with the complements. What are we here for?"

"I am here to talk. Renamon, I am here to tell you about your destiny."

***************************************************************************************

Elsewhere, Henry was riding his bicycle over towards the stadium with Terriermon on his back. They both turned to see Rika on her bicycle.

"So, are you sure that Renamon could be at the stadium?"

"That's what Terriermon told me when felt Vajiramon's power level. Wherever he will be, Renamon won't be too far from there."

"I just have a bad feeling. What if she betrays us."

"Rika. You know Renamon better than that. She won't turn her back on us and join the Deva Elite. I can guarantee you that."

"Yeah, besides, she's much too stubborn to fall for that," Terriermon replied.

"True. But lets get there as soon as possible. And where's goggle head?"

"I called him and he would meet us over. But I better get my digivice and find his location."

As soon as he looked at his digivice, he found a dot beeping and that could only mean one thing, Takato was close by with Guilmon. They weren't very far.

"He's close by. But we better get a peddling and hurry."

With that said, the Tamers peddled harder on their bikes, in hopes of reaching over towards Takato and the stadium as quickly as possible.

**************************************************************************************

Renamon and Vajiramon confronted each other as they had theirs locked onto one another. Vajiramon was the first to speak.

"Renamon. I ask of you to abandon your ways with humans and join us to vanish human kind with the help of our master, the Dark One. With your potential, we will gather as much energy needed from this realm and deliver it to our master."

"And this Dark One you speak of. Who is he? I've never heard of him."

"For many years, he's sought and brought many of the strongest digimon under his control and he sent us Devas to gather energy from this realm. Once we gather as much energy needed for our master's needs, we will deliver it to him and he will use to his advantage to release a being that will go into the human world and destroy it so us digimon can have complete power over the two worlds."

"Is that so?"

"Yes and we ask of you to join us. Please, this is for your own good. We don't have to pummel each other into oblivion. What do you say?"

The three Tamers made it over towards the stadium as the heard a conversation going on between both Vajiramon and Renamon. Rika was the first to hear Renamon and goes over to see the two digimon confronting each other.

"Renamon! I see her."

"And there's Vajiramon," said Henry.

"Tell me. Why do you have an utter and deep hatred for humans?" Vajiramon asked.

"Because you are a worthy servant for the Dark One. The humans that created us also abandoned us. But the Dark One managed to save us. He believes that the digimon should take what was rightfully ours and that is control power over the real world. But I was ordered to stop this from happening."

"I knew it! Its a conspiracy to take over the two worlds," exclaimed Takato, "Guilmon! I say we take this bull down by the horns!"

"Terriermon, go!"

But just as soon as the two rookies were about to go out into the battle, Calumon appears out of nowhere and hops down the stadium stairs as he lands right in between both Vajiramon and Renamon.

"Hi, Renamon. What are ya doing here? Looks like you two are having a good time. You want to play?"

"Is this another human pet that managed to betray us digimon?" Vajiramon asked angrily.

"You really need to light up," said Calumon.

"Calumon. You shouldn't be here. Get out as soon as possible."

"Hey, can I ride on your back?" Calumon asked Vajiramon.

But he soon got his answer as Vajiramons stomped down in front of Calumon and caused him to go flying back. Vajiramon goes chasing after Calumon.

"Alright! That does it! Guilmon! Time for action!"

"Right!"

Takato pulls out a card and then slashes it through his D-Ark.

"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-in S!!"

Evolution!!

"Guilmon shinka!!"

Guilmon felt his body starting to change and his energy level increasing. His body starts to grow and his outer skin started to peel away to reveal his new form, which would be his champion-leveled form. Now Guilmon was larger with a much more broad and heavy body. He has a patch of white hair on his head. However, he looked much too similar to his rookie form, but has a higher power level as far as he was concerned. He stands while blowing fire from out of his nose. Finally, he calls out to his new name.

"Growlmon!!"

Growlmon goes charing over towards Vajiramon and allowed Calumon time to fly away. Growlmon wrenches back and then executes his Dragon Slasher on the Deva. But Vajiramon managed to cross his arms and block out his adversary's attack. Vajiramon powers up as an aura surrounded him. He goes and knocks Guilmon away with a shoulder takedown with tremendous force.

Rika and Renamon looked over towards each other, as if they were already missing each other. But they soon turned their attention back over towards the battleground. Calumon ran over towards the Tamers as Henry looks over to Terriermon.

"I'm on it, Henry!"

Henry pulls out a card and then slashes it through his D-Ark.

"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-in S!!"

Evolution!!

"Terriermon shinka!!"

His body starts to grow and his outer skin started to peel away to reveal his new form. Now Terriermon was a tall, pant-wearing rabbit-like digimon with two chain guns on each arm, in fact, they were his new arms. And a green facemask covered his face. He gets into a fighting pose and whips out a belt and places it over his chest, which had bullets on them, which would be his ammunition for his two chain guns. Finally, he calls out to his new name.

"Gargomon!!"

Gargomon points his guns over towards Vajiramon as he began to fire away a barrage of multiple shots, but they were ineffective against Vajiramon's armor. As soon as Vajiramon made his move over towards the two champions, Renamon jumps up and then crosses her arms to unleash her 'diamond storm' attack. The ultimate-level felt the diamond nailing from behind and turned to see Renamon in the air.

"You just used me to get information didn't you?! You little traitor."

"Who said I ever was going to accept your offer. My loyalty stands with Rika and not for your master. You can tell the Dark One that I'm not interested."

"Wretched wench!"

"Bite me."

"You're making a mistake! If you work for the Dark One, just imagine how much unlimited power that you would have in your possession. But now I will just have to kill you for your betrayal!"

As soon as Vajiramon was charging over towards Renamon, Rika quickly pulls out a card and then slashes it through her D-Ark.

"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-in S!"

Evolution!!

[Tamers first "Evolution" theme plays]

"Renamon shinka!!"

The fox's body starts to grow and her outer skin started to peel away to reveal her new form, which would be her champion-leveled form. Now Renamon was Quadra pedal and a pair of nine tails was in the place of her once, long bushy tail. She became more vulpine-like, but retained of her Renamon features. She also has a pair of rings on her back that were red and white spiral-like. She flies up and her tails start to flare up with blue fire. Finally, she calls out to her new name.

"Kyuubimon!!"

Now it was down to three champions against one powerful ultimate-level Deva. Vajiramon looked across his adversaries and then turns to face the now evolved Kyuubimon.

"Take this! Fox Tail Inferno!!"

Kyuubimon shoots out several fiery attacks over towards Vajiramon, but he quickly intercepts them with several ki-blasts as he begins charging over towards her. Vajiramon picks up Vajiramon with his horns and throws her backwards, but Kyuubimon lands on her feet.

Rika pulls out yet another card and the slashes it right through her D-Ark.

"Card Slash! Power Charger!"

As soon as that happened, Kyuubimon felt her energy increasing and a huge aura forms around her. Vajiramon felt the ground shaking as he looks over towards Kyuubimon giving him a possessed look.

"Dragon Wheel!!"

Kyuubimon spins herself into a fiery, spiral dragon as she goes to nail Vajiramon head-one, but Vajiramon quickly intercepts by blocking it out with his swords.

["Evolution" ends]

Takato pulls out a card of his own and slashes it through his D-Ark.

"Card Slash! Hyperspeed!"

Growlmon powers up and then unleashes a super fast Pyro Blaster but Vajiramon quickly saw it coming and slashed through with his swords. It failed.

Henry slashes another card through his D-Ark.

"Card Slash! Energy Card!"

Gargomon charges over at Vajiramon and goes to nail him with a super uppetcut followed by a combination of the Bunny Pummel but Vajiramon easily punches Gargomon away with tremendous force. There was no luck and all the champions were weakened, except Kyuubimon of course.

"Its just down to Kyuubimon. Rika, you got to help her out!" exclaimed Takato.

"C'mon, he's about to make his move onto her," said Henry, "Plus our digimon don't have enough energy left to harness."

Vajiramon slowly goes approaching towards Kyuubimon with a sneer on his face. The champion looks over at him. The 'D' on Vajiramon's forehead was starting to glow and Vajiramon's energy was increasing once again. Kyuubimon goes charging over at Vajiramon and attacks him with her tail, but Vajiramon easily catches her and throws her down.

"You could have had power, but you wasted the opportunity! You're no warrior. Your all pretty and no punch!"

Vajiramon begins fighting her with his swords, which allows Vajiramon time to phase behind her and execute a mule kick to her. Kyuubimon goes flying back. Rika could only look on with shock and fear.

"Renamon. No! I've got to do something right away or you could die."

"Any last words before I send you into eternal limbo?"

"Yeah! I've got something to say!" a transmixed voice called out.

"Who's there?!"

"Static Force!!"

Vajiramon turned and was blasted in the face by a powerful blast. The ox deva looked up and saw a levitating figure. This warrior had a feather-like body with a belt-buckle around it's waist, cat-like ears and a visor around it's face.

"Who is that?!" Takato exclaimed.

"Don't worry! It's just us!" the figure called out. "It's me, Hawkmon and Yolei. We're the fusion form of those two!"

"Yolei?!" Henry exclaimed.

"We sensed your presence and we've figured this Deva was up to no good!"

"Thanks, Yolei and Hawkmon!" Growlmon called out.

"Just call us, Silphymon."

[Silphymon. Ultimate level fusion. Data Type. Special Technique: Static Force]

Just then, something was glowing in Rika's handful of cards. She looked down to see what she couldn't believe what she just saw. It was a blue card.

"A blue card?! Where did it? Unreal…"

"Use it, Rika! Its your last shot!" exclaimed Silphymon.

Rika turns to face him and nods. She goes and slashes it through her D-Ark.

"Card Slash! Matrix Evolution!!"

[Tamers Evolution theme "Evo" plays]

The D-Ark began to glow and Calumon's little triangle began to glow at the same time as the energy was quickly sent straight over towards Kyuubimon. Vajiramon is quickly blinded by the slight and shields his eyes.

Matrix Evolution!!

Just then, a diamond-like shape appears with Calumon in the center of it and Kyuubimon's body starts to morph.

"Kyuubimon! Matrix shinka!!"

Her four-legged body began to transform as she leaps up and a full moon started to appear in the background. She looked up, as her face was now a fox-mask with a kimono-like outfit on. Plus she was once again bipedal much like her rookie form. She spins around and then poses in front of the full moon as she shouts out her name.

"Taomon!!"

The Tamers all looked on in shock and amazement at what they just saw. Taomon was standing right in front of Vajiramon with a serious look on her face.

"Whoa. That's so cool," Takato said, "That used to be Kyuubimon?"

Henry pulls out his D-Ark and then gets a reading on the newly evolved Taomon. An image of her appears with statistics on her.

[Taomon. Ultimate-level. Special Attacks: Talisman of Light and Thousand Spells.]

"Oh yeah, she has an advantage over Vajiramon now. We're winning this battle after all."

"This battle belongs to Taomon," Silphymon stated.

"You digivolved, but you digivolved into something similar to a human. How can you represent something just as vile and disgusting?" Vajiramon asked.

"I don't care what you think of me. I stick to Rika's stand and nothing will separate us apart. Now, if we're through chit-chatting, lets get this over with."

"It would be my pleasure traitor! If you won't side with us, I have no choice but to kill you."

"Thousand Spells!"

Vajiramon goes charging over towards Taomon and blocking out her attacks with his blades.

"You've gotten stronger but not strong enough to put me away. Deva Blade!!"

Vajiramon goes and slashes at Taomon with his sword, but she easily blocks them out with her sleeves, which catches Vajiramon by surprise. He doesn't realize that he was completely outmatched in every other way.

"Why did you go with me at first? I don't understand it."

"I only wanted information. But now that I have them, you can just leave."

Taomon goes flipping back over the Deva and Vajiramon turned to face her. He pulls out his blades and tosses them over at her.

"Deva Blade!!"

Taomon saw the blades coming over at her and easily dodges after phasing out. Vajiramon growled under his breath as he turned around to see Taomon looking down upon him. Vajiramon drew out his swords again and then tosses them over at her. Taomon manages to phase away again like before, which infuriated Vajiramon further.

"Its time to end this. Your hatred for the humans shall be your downfall."

With that said, Taomon pulls out a large brush and then paints a sign in the air, a Kanji-like symbol.

"Talisman of Light!"

Vajiramon could only stand as the writing came flying towards him at the speed of light. Vajiramon didn't have time to draw his sword nor block as the symbol went right through him.

"No!! How could this be??! No!!"

Vajiramon screams out as he quickly explodes into data. Taomon hovers down to the ground and turns towards the Tamers. They all sighed a relief over Vajiramon's defeat but the digimon were too tired to even celebrate. But Calumons aw this as another victory and went hopping along.

"Culu! We did it! Culu!"

"We put my friend," replied Silphymon.

["Evo" ends]

Rika looked over towards Taomon as a small smirk forms across her face.

Watching from above, a silver-haired boy with dog-like ears and a red cloaked suit was astonished by the battle. He held his sword around his sheath.

"Kagome never told me anything about this. Too bad. They look like demons. I should get Kagome to tell me about these things. Damn, where the hell could she be?"

**************************************************************************************

After bidding her farewell, Silphymon fell off into the night skies while the full moon was becoming visible. The digital field quickly disappeared and everybody left for home, except for Rika. The young girl looks up at Renamon with a smile on her face.

"I was very pleased with your recent evolution. You've gotten a lot stronger and I'm proud."

"Thank you, Rika. That means so much to hear you say that. Besides I had to do what I did to get a better understanding of the Deva and investigate their motives. This Dark One seems very powerful if he was able to bring these digimon to his control."

"I'm just glad that you took the initiative to get to know a Deva better and you look so heroic in the moonlight as Taomon. Well, I better be going. Goodnight, Renamon."

"Yes, goodnight. Rika."

As soon as Rika went peddling away on her bike, Renamon was looking up into the moonlight as if she were apart of it when she was Taomon. But little did she realize that she was being watched. These two have been watching the recent Deva battles. It was the ones who confronted Tai, Takato, Kari and Henry.

"Are they the ones we seek?" asked the panda.

"Yes, and soon we will find out just how powerful these Tamers really are. But its Tai Kamiya that concerns me. Don't worry, we shall have our day once this Deva infestation ends," replied the blue-skinned young man.

Now that we realize what the true motives of the Devas are, do we even know what the true motives of the two mysterious fighters are? And is Rika starting to become much nicer than usual? What will go down next?
