The Return of an Old Friend! Vikaralymon Appears!

It was a beautiful morning in the city of West Shinjuku and it was just a couple of days ago that it was almost destroyed by the horse Deva known as Indramon. But everything seemed to be in perfect order, and no attacks from any Devas lately, which was a good thing.

Perfect days to buy some bread and take a nice walk in the park. That was Jeri's plan today and she walks over into the Matsuki Bakery, where she could buy herself some nice, fresh bread.

Jeri looked all over the store and picked out some cream puffs. She went over and paid Mr. Matsuki for the bread. As soon as he hands her the bag full of the paid cream puffs, she went to ask him a question.

"Thank you, Mr. Matsuki. Do you happen to know where Takato went?"

"He's been long gone over at the park playing with his friends. You might find him there."

"Oh ok, then. Thank you again, Mr. Matsuki. The bread is just as fresh as ever."

"I'll tell Takato you stopped by."

"No its ok, I'll just go see what he's doing. Thanks anyways."

As soon as Jeri walked out of the bakery, she turned to see Kazu and Kenta running up towards her while catching their breaths after running a very long distance.

"Hey, Jeri. Are you looking for Takato?" asked Kenta.

"Yeah. I was about to go the park to see Takato and the others."

"Oh, that's funny. We were heading there too. You want to join us," Kazu managed to ask under his breathe.

"C'mon. We have to get there before they're gone," Kenta said as he held Jeri by one arm.

"Yeah. Before it's too late. They might leave any minute," Kazu replied while grabbing Jeri's other arm.

They ran off while holding onto Jeri.

"Hey! Watch it! You're squishing my cream puffs!"

The two boys held onto Jeri as tight as they could while heading over towards the park where they would meet up with the Tamers before they would have a chance to leave.

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

TK came walking out of his apartment house with Patamon tagging along. He needed to take a walk out after writing a rather long chapter. He has barely gotten the chance to even go out. It was either writing his novels or battling bio-emerged digimon. It has been a tough month.

"It's about time you got out a little while. I don't like seeing you getting cramped up on your writing."

"I know it's a pain in the neck, but it's a job I rather enjoy."

"Guess so. I can't see myself writing. My hands couldn't handle all that writing and typing. Did I also mention that proofreading and spell check stinks?"

TK looked around the streets and let out a sigh. He was able to breathe in some fresh outside air. This was rather refreshing.

"I wonder how everyone else is doing? They're probably busy today. Of all the days I had to take a day off, everyone else works. I miss the old days."

"Say, why don't we go to the park later? We can catch up on what's going there. Besides, Guilmon and Takato should be there."

"Yeah. I've been meaning to speak with Takato. I need to know a little more of these Devas."

"Those Devas are so mean! Why I ought to teach them a thing or two!"

"Save it until another one actually arrives. C'mon, let's take a stroll through the market square, grab some grub and head out to the park."

"Sounds like a plan, TK."

"Let's go. I don't want to stand around here all day."

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

Back over at Hypnos Headquarters, several of the creators of the original digimon 'A.I.' program were all gathered while still at work. There was a white man, an Indian woman and a black man working over their computers. These included Dolphin, Curly and Babel.

"Janyuu, I want you to begin researching on these digimon," Yamaki said, "That way, we can get a better understanding on what we are really after."

"I don't know. You really think we should exterminate these beings. I just feel wrong for destroying something that we worked on many years ago."

"So are you willing to risk the safety of your family just for these digital beings. They aren't even living creatures, just loads of computer data."

"Yes, but I still feel that its wrong."

"Don't worry. Eventually, you will change your mind. I will see to it."

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

Back over towards the park, Kazu and Kenta took Jeri near the hideout of Guilmon, but they remained hidden behind the bushes as they listened to them Tamer's conversation.

"Shh. I know they're in there. But we have to keep quiet," said Kazu.

"What do you think they're talking about?" asked Kenta.

"Who knows, but if we keep quiet, we'll know for sure."

Just then, they were now overhearing the Tamer's conversation. Each of them had a serious look on their faces, with their digimon listening to the conversation.

"This Dark One they speak of is serious if he really wants to gather energy from our world and unleash something that maybe considered a very indestructible force. I just have a bad feeling about this," said Henry.

"Not only that but each time we have faced a deva, they always seem to have a 'D' marking on their forehead. I wonder what that foretells. It must be their symbol representing this leader they take orders from," said Takato.

"No duh, Einstein. And if we don't do something, this 'Dark One' just might show up. Renamon, this might get serious, but we'll always be on the lookout," Rika replied.

"Of course. We will be ready when another deva decides to make an unsuspecting appearance."

"But why would the Dark One send Devas and what if we aren't able to stop them. They seem to get stronger each time a new one shows up," said Takato, "We better not underestimate them."

"So, what did you get to hear," Kenta asked.

"I don't know, but I really want to become a Tamer much like the. I'm tired of walks sitting around and doing nothing in helping them. You know what I mean," Kazu asked.

"I can hear ya, buddy. But I wonder what kind of digimon I would have."

"Oh that's just silly. You boys are so into digimon," Jeri said, "I just find it pretty hilarious."

"With the knowledge of battle cards. I can give them a lot of good advice. Besides, I'm the master at the card games," said Kazu.

"Well, I'm not really into the card playing game. I'm simply not into digimon as you guys are," Jeri replied.

Just then, a ton of cards came falling out of Jeri's dress pocket and onto the floor. Jeri looked on with shock as Kazu and Kenta looked over to see that the cards were in fact digimon cards.

"Uh huh. You want to explain, young lady?" Kazu asked with sarcasm.

Embarrassed, Jeri quickly snatched up her cards and placed them back into her pocket. Kazu simply rolls his eyes and then looks back to the hideout. He gasped.

"What's wrong, Kazu?" Kenta asked.

"They're gone! They just left. I knew that I shouldn't have taken my eyes off of them," said Kazu.

The three went over towards the bunker and then looked inside to see that the Tamers had already just left.

"They're gone. I wonder where they ran off? Maybe on another Deva mission," said Kenta.

"Then we should get there," Kazu replied, "You want to come, Jeri?"

"No. I got other things to do, guys. See ya."

With that said, Jeri goes walking off into another direction where she would take a nice walk into the park instead of getting involved in another digimon battle.

As soon as she walks over towards the trail of the park, she stopped as Calumon comes hopping out of the bushes with a smile on his face. He turns to face Jeri.

"Hello!"

"Hi there," Jeri greeted him.

Calumon flies up and then takes a sniff from her bag. He licks his lips and realized that food was inside of the bag.

"Is that some yummy food in there," Calumon asked, "Yum. Yum."

"Yeah. There's plenty of food in here. Some nice, warm cream puffs."

Jeri pulls out a piece of bread and then hands it over to Calumon. The little digimon looks at it hungrily with stars forming in his eyes. Calumon starts jumping for joy and takes the piece of bread that Jeri was holding.

Suddenly, the mysterious boy looks on from behind some tall trees while keeping an eye on Calumon and only Calumon for some apparent reason.

Calumon had quickly gobbled up the first piece of bread that Jeri had offered to him. Jeri pulls out another piece of bread and Calumon was crying out for another piece. Jeri happily hands over the whole bag of the bread to the every-so happy Calumon. The little digimon takes it and jumps around excitedly.

Jeri began eating and was noticing the red triangular shape that was embedded on the forehead of the innocent, Calumon. She looked at it beauty and a smile forms across her face. She quickly got up onto her feet.

"That's it. I've got it! Calumon! It's time. You're going to be mine and I will be your newest partner!"

Calumon stops eating and then looks up at Jeri curiously. She looks down at him with a devious smirk on her face.

"So what do you think? Do you even happen to like me," Jeri asked.

"Well… Um… I like your food. What else do you want me to like?"

"You know. I would make a perfect Tamer for you, do you happen to agree with me, Calumon?"

Calumon gasped and then fainted at what she had just said. Jeri looks down at him and then a frown comes across her face. She turns away with an angry look.

"Oh? That's not the proper way to treat to your Tamer. So you don't think that I'm capable of being your Tamer, is that right?"

"No! No! Its not that!"

"Oh yeah? Then what is it then? You know, just because I don't look like a Tamer, doesn't mean I can teach you. You could learn a lot from me."

Suddenly, a huge fog was popping out from underneath a sewer lid and Jeri was caught by surprise as a digital field was forming around the area that she and Calumon were standing at. The tiny digimon started to panic as a form was developing from within the fog barrier. Jeri looks over and sees two glowing, crimson eyes.

"Just who are you," Jeri asked frantically.

"Me? Heh, I'm your worst nightmare," a voice muttered from within the fog barrier.

[Anonymous music plays]

As soon as the fog cleared away, a rat-faced, creature stood with what seemed to be a half cybernetic and metallic body. There were two spikes thrusting out from his back and he stood on stick-like legs.

"I'm a Deva and I'm here looking for a fight! But you seem to have enough energy to collect," the rat creature said.

"Hey, are you looking for a partner? Because you seem to be good enough to be my digimon and I can be your Tamer," Jeri proposed.

"Me?! Never! I'll never sell my soul to the likes of a pathetic human such as yourself! I'm a Deva that works for the Dark One and since you are the first that stands in my way, I will destroy you first and load that digimon's data for my master."

"Ok! You leave me no choice!"

Jeri looks around her surroundings but then glances over to Calumon and quickly snatches him up. She holds him right in front of the rat Deva as Calumon looks on with two widened eyes of fear. The rat only chuckled, which caused Calumon to jump away flying. Jeri ran right after Calumon. The rat quickly gives chase to them.

They ran so fast that they started to tire out easily and were able to make it towards the water fountain. Jeri sat down while catching her breath.

"Is it safe?" Calumon asked.

"Looks like we're out of danger for now," replied Jeri.

But as soon as she said that, laughter was heard and the rat deva pops right out of the water fountain with his claws ready to attack. He was flying up after being shot out from the water. Just then, a rainbow was formed across the water fountain and the rat quickly noticed it. Out of nowhere, a huge ki blast came and nailed the rat deva, sending him flying down into the ground. The force of the impact caused a crater hole where the rat deva was laying.

Jeri and Calumon both looked up to see a mane-faced warrior with a sword at his side. A look of shock and joy came across the face of Jeri as she was gazing upon the lone warrior known as Leomon. Leomon had made his return. But hoe was he able to do so since the guardians sealed up all of the gateways in the Digital World, as said by Kari. This was considered as a shocker.

Jeri was looking through her deck of cards and then finds out that she has a card of Leomon. Then she looks back up to Leomon.

"Its Leomon. But, he's real? Wait a minute… I do remember seeing him on TV during the Virus battle and I thought I saw him in Kyoto years ago. I saw him. But could this be the same one?!"

The rat deva picked himself up and then growls while looking up at Leomon.

"How dare you?! You interrupted my business! You better stay out of this! This is Deva business!"

"You should learn to never pick on innocent, little girls, coward."

"How dare you call me a coward, insolent fool!"

As soon as the rat deva went flying up towards Leomon, the lone warrior quickly phases out and reappears behind him. He quickly pulls out his sword and then slashes at the rat deva, sending him flying back into the forest. Leomon hovered down onto the ground and put his sword away. Jeri goes running up towards him with a smile on her face.

"Leomon! Mr. Leomon! You were wonderful out there!"

"Thank you, kid. But I must be heading off in finding my comrades, the Digi-"

"Mr. Leomon, are you really my partner?"

"Huh? I'm your what? Partner?"

"Yes, your my partner, aren't you?"

"Look, I don't know what you're talking about, but I have no partners. I'm a lone warrior. Now I really must be heading off in finding my old comrades. The four guardians managed to send me off before the last digital gate was closed."

"Huh? I don't know what you're talking about, but you would make a good partner for me."

"Hey, little guy. Care to explain something about this strange human?"

"I think her brain is all funny."

"You keep out of this, Calumon. I'm trying to start a friendly conversation here. Isn't that right, Mr. Leomon?"

"Please, stop making those faces. I must go."

With that said, Leomon goes flying off towards the forest as he attempts to escape her sight and find the Digi-Destined to fill them in on his arrival, but he had to ditch Jeri first. The crazy girl went chasing right after him in the forest.

"Wait, Mr. Leomon! Its destiny for you to be my partner!"

Leomon hid behind a tree while watching Calumon and Jeri passing by. He quickly sighed a relief and was now prepared to head off to locate the Digi-Destined, but just as he was about to make his escape, he turned to see none other than Calumon flying over towards him and then calling out to Jeri.

"He's right over here," exclaimed Calumon.

Leomon gasps and then flies off into another direction. Calumon turns to see Leomon phasing out into the forest. Jeri comes running in through the forest while searching for Leomon as hard as she could. As soon as she was passing by, Leomon was hiding within Guilmon's bunker home. Jeri comes running by but then Calumon turns around to see none other than Leomon hiding in the darkness.

"Jeri! He's over-"

But Leomon runs up and snatches Calumon away just as the little digimon was about to finish speaking. He holds him tightly and cupped his mouth shut.

"You're going to give off my location! You keep quiet! I don't want her to come to me."

Just then, Takato and Guilmon were walking up towards the shelter. Guilmon stopped as he felt a very high ki level within the shelter. Takato took notice of this.

"What's wrong, boy? What do you see?"

"Somebody is in there."

They go walking up towards the shelter home and peer inside to see Leomon holding Calumon in his hands. Takato gasps when he saw Calumon, but even more shocked when he saw Leomon.

"Leomon?! No way!"

Calumon gets out of Leomon's grasp and then frees himself as he flies towards to Guilmon and Takato.

"Hey! Guilmon!"

Guilmon catches Calumon and then looks over towards Leomon. Takato looks over at his D-Ark and was getting a hologram image of the warrior digimon.

[Leomon. Champion-Level. Beast Type. Special Attack: Fist of the Beast King]

"Oh man! It's got to be that same Leomon from the Virus battle. He must be really strong if he was able to hold off such a powerful being. Guilmon, you know what to do."

"Yeah. Don't worry, Takato."

Guilmon goes over and gets into battle position, while preparing himself to fight Leomon. Leomon was very confused.

"I can't fight you. You're a Digi-Destined, aren't you?"

"No. I'm a Tamer. If you're looking for the Digi-Destined, some of them are here in the city."

"Forget it. He's mine, Takato."

"I don't want to fight you, but it seems that you have left me with no choice," Leomon said as he powers up with an aura flare surrounding his body.

Just then, somebody was heard crying out. Takato and Guilmon both turned around to see none other than Jeri running up towards them. Jeri looks over to see Leomon and she runs up to him.

"Don't fight him! He's my partner and I'm his Tamer."

"Huh? Jeri? He's yours?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Jeri. I didn't mean to," Guilmon said, "I was about to fight him."

"Its okay, Guilmon. I forgive you. But, Mr. Leomon, shame on you for running away from me."

"Wow, I can't believe that your partner is Leomon, Jeri!"

"Now, hold on kid! I don't know anything about this Tamer business, but you can leave me out of it. I'm a lone warrior and I was sent here to find my old comrades, the Digi-Destined. I would appreciate the help, but lets just keep this Tamer and partner business out, is that clear?"

"No, sir. Yes, sir," replied Takato.

"Now I don't know where I am, but I will be able to pick up the presence of the Digi-Destined through their own digimon. I must be heading off now-"

"No wait. Mr. Leomon, you must not go. We're destined to being together as a team!" said Jeri. "Isn't that right Leomon?"

Jeri looks up at him with dreamy eyes and a very innocent look on her face. Leomon simply looks down at her with a confused look on his face.

"Please, stop doing that. I mean it, kid."

"But, we're meant to be together. We're a team. We can work together and stop those Devas. They've been wrecking our city and that rat thing that attacked us was a Deva," Jeri explained.

"You had a run-in with another Deva?! Why didn't you get me," Takato asked.

"I would have but Leomon came and saved us," Jeri said.

"Wow, then he must be here for a reason, and that's not to be your partner."

"That's what I was trying to tell her," said Leomon, "I appreciate the compliments but I will always stand as a lone warrior. That's the why it is and that's the way its going to stand."

"I better call the other guys about this. Maybe they can help us out here. Then we can call the Digi-Destined and from there, you can rejoin with them," Takato said.

"Yes, because I was sent here by the four digimon guardians to warn them about an approaching darkness within another world that goes by the name of the Dark One."

"What?! We've had our battles against the Dark One and his henchmen, well actually just his Devas. We really have no idea of what he really looks like but every time we've had a battle against a Deva, each one had a 'D' marking on their forehead."

"Yes, and these Devas that you like to call them must be stopped, before it is too late."

"Then, we know what we must do, right," Takato said, "Stop these Devas, but I'm going to call Henry and Rika to meet me here and fill them in on the news. You guys stay here, I'll be right back."

As soon as Takato left to go find a nearby pay phone, Jeri looks over towards Leomon with a smile on her face. Leomon simply stands there and was turning away as if he were concentrating for the next, upcoming battle against the Deva.

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

Elsewhere, two ladies were seen walking through the park. One had beautiful, turquoise hair flowing like the ocean waves. She was wearing a white top and a peach skirt with red edges. The other was rather tall to be a lady. She has short, tan hair and wore a light blue suit like a man.

"Isn't it just great, Haruka? It's a beautiful day."

"On the other hand, it's pretty dull. I wish there were heart snatchers right about now. Those were the good times."

"But peace has been restored."

"Not with these reports of monsters appearing. Every time we've attempted to intervene, a group of children with their own monsters have stepped in."

"We should leave it to them."

"Michiru. Don't you miss being, Sailor Neptune?"

"Sure I do. But don't forget that we vowed to move on. Evil was vanquished."

"Evil never dies. Who even says evil truly exists. There are two sides on a coin, there's no doubt about that. Let's put it this way, what do you notice about the clouds in the sky?"

"It often gets cloudy and produces precipitation."

"True, but there's another ideal to it. Evil and good are on opposite sides. Once that cloud slinks in between those two forces, it produces a shade of gray. You mix light and darkness to produce a cloudy gray. There is truly no good or evil. It's rather to same if you look at it. Each of us has our own destiny and we have our own ideals. Earth might see us as heroes, but there are other worlds who will consider us enemies. Don't forget that."

"You are so right. What was I thinking?"

"I often ask myself that. The choices we've made in the past weren't the right choices. The Sailor Senshi saw us as enemies when we tried to take those pure heart seeds. We did anything to gain them, even if it meant taking the life of a another soul."

"We were doing the right thing in our own perspective."

"That's right. In my opinion, these kids are going to have to learn to who really are the enemy. We've been through it. Now it's their turn."

The former Sailors walked through the park to catch up on some pleasant memories. Little did they realize that a Deva is lurking within the forest.

Down from the other side where the Sailors were walking, Takato was on a nearby pay phone and was dialing up Henry's number first, while Jeri was following Leomon at every movement he makes and the brave warrior starts to grow weary of the young girl.

Takato managed to get a hold of Henry and hears a reply.

"Hello?"

"Henry. It's me, Takato. Listen. We got a bit of a little trouble here. There's a Leomon in the park and Jeri is starting to get a little bit obsessive of him. She told me that Leomon is her partner, but yet, Leomon declines."

"Does she happen to have a digivice?"

"I don't know, but I'm going to go ask her. He, Jeri?!"

"Yeah?"

"Do you happen to have a digivice?"

"No. I don't know."

"Henry, that's a negative."

"Is that all?"

"No, Jeri!"

"I see. I better take a look at this. I'm on my way over there."

As soon as Henry hung up, Takato looks over to see Jeri chasing Leomon while asking him to being her partner, but Leomon declined each time. Takato turns his attention back over to the pay phone and dials up Rika's number. He waits and then gets a reply from her.

"What is it?!"

"Oh hi, Rika. It's me. Listen, this is something you really need to hear. Guilmon and I ran into a Leomon today and now Jeri is starting to proclaim him as her 'partner'. But I don't know what to make of it?"

"Well, does she happen to have a digivice? That should be proof enough."

"No. I just told Henry about that."

"The she must be delusional! Ugh, whatever. I'll be right over there."

With that said, Takato hangs up the phone and then looks over towards Guilmon while shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, there's no sense in talking Jeri out of this, she's all over Leomon like white on rice. All Leomon came here for was to see the Digi-Destined and nothing else."

"Hey you! You're Takato, aren't you," a voice called out.

Takato turned around to see none other than Davis and Veemon.

"Hey Davis! Thanks for watching our backs lately."

"Ahh! It was nothing, but you guys were the ones that put that Deva away! You rocked!"

"And don't forget about us!" TK said as he came walking by with Patamon.

"Ack! I didn't even see you coming!" Davis said.

"TK! So, what are you guys here for?"

"Actually, we came here to see Leomon. Patamon had sensed his presence here and so I decided to see if he were around."

"Well, for the most part, he is here."

"Where is he?" Patamon asked.

Takato smiled with a sweat drop coming down his forehead. He pointed into another direction where Leomon was running away from the obsessive Jeri. TK and Davis looked on as they both fell backwards.

"Oh, Leomon. Running away from little girls again?" Patamon asked teasingly.

"Oh shut up! Lets see you run away from a little girl for once!"

"Well, at least, you can get a decent exercise out of this," Veemon said, "I really need an exercise."

Jeri rushed past them group and went over to catch up with Leomon, who was able to phase into the nearby forest. Jeri goes running in and then continues her search.

"I think Leomon should be safe for now," Takato said.

Suddenly, a loud scream was heard from within the forest and Jeri comes running out.

"Hey! What's wrong, Jeri? What happened?" Takato asked.

But soon his question was answered as Leomon comes flying out with his sword in tact. Kumbhiramon comes flying out as he charged right at Leomon. The brave warrior phases out of sight and then goes from behind and delivers a leg sweep to take down the Deva.

"Whoa! Is that the Deva?" Guilmon asked.

"Yeah. He's a Deva all right!" replied Jeri.

"Um, he doesn't look like that much a threat," Veemon said.

"Burizalor's henchmen had much higher kis than this Deva. He might be hiding his full power. We must be careful," Leomon stated promptly.

"Takato! I'm coming!" Henry calls out as he stops right.

The blue-haired boy looks over and then Terriermon leaps off his shoulder and onto the ground. Terriermon goes running up to the other rookie digimon.

"Just who is that?! Is that another Deva?" asked Henry.

"Yeah. There's a 'D' symbol on his forehead, so that pretty much explains itself. He looks nothing more than a dysfunctional rat whose body is really out of place. Lets take a look on the digivice."

The goggle boy looks over at his D-Ark and a hologram image of the rat Deva is displayed, plus some statistics on him.

[Kumbhiramon. Ultimate-Level. Deva Type. Special Attack: Deva Clone]

"Looks like Leomon is going to have his hands full," Henry said, "But why is he here?"

"I'll explain later," Takato replied.

"We should go out there and help Leomon!" Veemon said.

"No. Leave this for Leomon. We'll go in until he loses in the battle. He's handling that thing rather easily now," said Davis.

"So we wait here, TK?"

"Just for now."

[Dragonball Z "Buu Saga Battle theme" plays]

Leomon and Kumbhiramon go charging at each other as the rat deva lashes out his spears at Leomon, but Leomon managed to maneuver from each stab attempt. Kumbhiramon shoots out several small ki-blasts over at Leomon, but the warrior managed to easily phase away from each blast. Leomon jumps up right over at Kumbhiramon and then hammers him away with rapid punches. Kumbhiramon manages to block out with his armored claws.

"He seems to be taking that Deva with little difficulty," said Henry.

"You should have seen his battles before. He was only one of the few to ever make any hits on Burizalor many years ago. Plus he gave Artificial Jax a run for his money and even gave Virus a challenge during his early stages," TK said.

"Wow, he must be a very experienced fighter," Takato replied.

"He is and he won't lost to this thing. He's had much tougher foes than this," Patamon stated.

Jeri looks on and then a determined look came across her face. She looks over towards Takato's D-Ark.

"Takato! I want to see your digivice."

"Huh? But why?"

"I need to use it. Maybe I can give Leomon a little energy boost with one of my cards."

"Well, I'm not sure that won't work, but you can try. Here."

[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]

Jeri takes the D-Ark and pulls out a card as she slashes it through Takato's D-Ark.

"Card Slash!!"

But as soon as she finished, she looked on to see not even a single change to Leomon and a frustrated look came across her face. She went to try to slash it through her D-Ark once again.

"Card Slash!!"

But the result was the same and no change was seen on Leomon, not even a single power up. However, Leomon was still holding off his own against Kumbhiramon.

"I guess… I wasn't ever meant to be a Tamer… I've failed as a Tamer…"

Takato looks over at Jeri and a worried look came across his face. He then looks back over the battleground.

Kumbhiramon smirks and Leomon was standing while attempting to catch his breath. Leomon takes notice of his adversary's smirk and questions him.

"Why the hell are you smiling?"

"You defend these humans, yet you are not strong enough to defeat me. What a shame. Now let me show you the true hidden abilities. Please take a note and realize that this is your final warning. Stay out of my business and let me crush these humans."

"Never. I will never let you kill the Digi-Destined or those other children."

"So be it."

With that said, Kumbhiramon screams out as a wave of energy shot out from his body. The ground surrounding the rat deva was starting to cave in and Leomon starts to sense his power. He merely sneers as Kumbhiramon quickly duplicates himself into six copies. They all surround Leomon as smirks came across their faces.

"Wait a minute! I saw Virus do this trick and it worked to his advantage yet at his disadvantage," Davis said.

"That's right. He's weakened after he splits into his halves. It's a big mistake on his part. But we should really go in there and help," TK said.

"You can count on me TK," Patamon said.

"Davish, now? Let me go in and have myself a little bash and bruising," Veemon said.

"No. I think Terriermon should go. We appreciate the help, but it should be time that we handle this situation on our own. Ready Terriermon?"

"As I ever will be. Lets do it!"

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

"Terriermon shinka!! Gargomon!!"

"I know you want to do this alone, but I want some of this! I haven't been out for a while! This is definitely payoff! Digivolve Patamon!"

"It's about time!"

With that said, TK's digivice released a glow and a bright beam encased Patamon. He underwent a powerful transformation into champion level. However, this wasn't just any ordinary champion.

"Patamon shinka! Angemon!!"

Angemon stepped out from the light with a strong presence behind his aura. Takato, Henry, Guilmon and Galgomon looked on with gapping mouths.

"Angemon?!" they exclaimed in unison.

"You guys are in for a treat," Davis said.

[Angemon. Patamon's champion level. Vaccine Type. Special Techniques: Hand of Fate & Angel Staff]

"Give it to him, Angemon!" cheered Veemon. "I'll sit in the sidelines for ya!"

Just then, the mysterious boy looks on from hidden some nearby bushes as he made eye contact with Calumon, who was cheering for the battle during the whole time. A look of interest came across the boy's face.

The clones all start to attack Leomon head on but the lone warrior was able to hold them off one by one with his sword and several ki blasts. Angemon flew in and clobbered some with his staff. Gargomon goes charging right into the action to help out Leomon.

"Aww, why can't I get involved in the action?! I really wanted a piece of cheese-breathe," Veemon remarked.

"Don't worry, buddy. Your day will come again," Davis assured his digimon partner. "Those three have it in the bag. Unless Angemon is holding back, then that rat is a goner."

Calumon's red triangle was glowing and was the cause of the evolution for Terriermon. Takato turned to see the mysterious boy spying on them.

"Hey you! You won't get away from me this time!" Takato exclaimed.

The mysterious boy began to laugh as Takato decided to give chase to him. But the boy was able to run off faster than a normal professional runner would. Takato stops at his tracks and heads back towards the battleground.

"I'm going to find out about that kid one day. Next time, he won't get away from me that easily."

Rika and Renamon were able to arrive on the battlefield as Takato walked back. Takato took notice of them and smiled.

"Hey! Rika! We're so glad to see you have come!" Takato exclaimed.

"Sure, whatever. So this is the Leomon?"

"Yeah and he was pretty much taking on that rat deva, Kumbhiramon, but he was able to-"

"Clone himself. I know. Renamon was watching the battle before I came here."

"You saw the battle?" Takato asked.

Renamon didn't answer him, but she was more focused on the battle-taking place between the Deva, Angemon, Leomon and Gargomon.

"Bunny Pummel!!"

"Hand of Fate!!

Gargomon was able to uppercut a clone with his attack, but it merely able to distract him at the very moment. Angemon caught each clone with his Hand of Fate technique. The rat Deva didn't even attempt to cross paths with Angemon, since he would be obliterated.

"I'm guessing that Deva was able to sense Angemon's strong ki. He's scared to make an attack on him. He knows that Angemon will wipe him out in a heartbeat."

Leomon punched away at two copies flying right over at him. He turns around and was noticing Jeri crying. He growls under his breathe and looks back over at the clones.

"This one is for you, kid!"

Gargomon was firing away at each of the Kumbhiramon clones and was able to distract them at the very moment. Angemon took advantage and blasted each of them with his holy beams. They were all sent flying up. Leomon phases out and then reappears from above with his fist glowing. He thrusts her hand back and a lion-faced beam goes shooting out over towards the whole Kumbhiramon bunch.

"Fist of the Beast King!"

One by one, each of the Kumbhiramons were being deleted except for the original one, who was still falling down onto the ground.

"No!! Don't!!"

Leomon goes flying down as he pulls out his sword and a huge blasts comes shooting down over at Kumbhiramon. The rat deva could only look on as the beam goes shooting right through him and the sword penetrating through his head. He let out his final screams before he was quickly deleted into bits of red data.

Leomon was catching his breath and then placed his sword back onto his back and then looks over at the group.

"My work here is finished. TK. Davis. You two came to see me? Just follow me and I will tell you everything."

"Cool. So what's been new, Leomon?" Davis asked.

"It's been a long time," replied TK.

Leomon then looks over at the Tamers and then over to the sobbing Jeri. A look on concern was coming across his face.

"Goodbye, tamers. We shall meet again. I'm sorry, Jeri. Your tears will force me to stay here longer, but we shall might again. Be on your guard, Tamers. Your impressive and you could help us out in this war against the Devas."

Leomon goes walking off with the two Destined boys over into the sunset as they went to discuss about the events that have been occurring over the past few years.

Takato looks over to Jeri and goes to try to talk to her.

"Jeri, please try to understand. Lets just talk through this-"

"Stop! Leave me alone…"

Takato nodded as he walked away from the sobbing Jeri. Henry and Terriermon then headed off as they went to go home.

"See ya later, Takato. We can talk about this whole Deva thing over tomorrow or something."

"Ok, Henry. See ya."

"Lets go Guilmon."

"Poor, Jeri. Please don't cry. Things will get better. I promise," Guilmon said.

"Momentai, Jeri! Momentai!"

Jeri sat there as she looked over to see Leomon still walking off into the sunset with the two Digi-Destined.

"I wonder if I will ever become your partner, Leomon. I won't give up hope."

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

Yugi looked on towards the skies as fate awaited him within a few days. The Battle City tournament was set to be underway. Just then, Yami spoke through the boy from the Millennium Puzzle. It seems as though the former Pharaoh is worried.

"Yugi…"

"Yami? What's wrong?"

"With all these monsters appearing in Shinjuku, I fear that a great evil will make its presence felt. I prophesize it to be cataclysmic."

"Cataclysmic?! But this is just in Shijuku, right?"

"I'm afraid it might be a global threat. The world is in danger. I know this has nothing to do with the great evil that might come back to defeat us in Battle City, but I had this uneasy feeling ever since those monsters started appearing in Shinjuku. We must be careful."

"I will, Yami. Once we win Battle City, we'll be ready for this great evil. We'll save the world twice if we have to."

Yami's prophecy seemed to be accurate. With all of these Deva attacks, would there be a major global threat to appear? Maybe even a great universal threat? Time would only tell when that time would come at hand.

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

Later that night, Leomon was done discussing everything that he had witnessed over the past few years.

"And that's the whole story. There's another Digital World out there and the so-called Dark One is making refuge there as he plans on gathering as much energy needed to unleash a being that might be powerful enough to destroy the two Digital Worlds. This being is unknown to me."

"Whoa and its not only up to us, but also the Tamers to defeat these Devas?" Davis asked.

"Yes and the Devas were sent to gather energy for the Dark One, so the next Deva might not be our last."

"You got that right," replied TK, "I have a good feeling that the next one might be more powerful than the rest."

"A nice little story," a voice called out.

[Anonymous music plays]

The trio turned around to see the blue-skinned young being along with the panda at his side. Veemon and Patamon got into battle positions as they faced them off.

"You do not have to worry. They're not enemies," Leomon said, "They're more like friends and very powerful friends."

"Whoa! Wait a second. You know these guys?" Davis asked.

"They look kind of funny looking to me," remarked Veemon.

"Ah, but our hidden powers may deceive you and change your views about us," the young man said.

"Just who are you two? Kari claimed to have seen you but who are you really?" asked TK.

"We were sent here for a purpose, but you will know soon when the time is right, but there's much more important things to worry about. Takeru was right about one thing. The next Deva just might be more powerful than the rest."

Suddenly, the ground started to instantly shake around them and this caught the Digi-Destined by surprise.

"Whoa! What was that?" Davis asked frantically, "An earthquake but it felt pretty abnormal to me."

"It just maybe a sign of what's to come, Destined," the young man replied.

TK and Davis looked at each other in confusion and then over towards the two mystery beings. Leomon knew a whole lot about these two and he was ordered by the four digital guardians to not let them know until the time was right, and that time may very well come once the next Deva arrives.

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

Next Morning…

The city of West Shinjuku was just as beautiful as ever. It was just a couple of days ago that the last Deva had attacked, but it was nothing major. Today could finally be a day of peace and quiet, but with the recent reports of abnormal earthquakes, that peace and quiet might come to an abrupt halt.

Walking down a sidewalk was a girl with jet-black hair. This was the same girl who watched TK and Kari attempt a kiss.

"Inuyasha…Maybe I was too hard on him…No! He's going to have to learn not to be such a jerk! I didn't go back to the feudal era just to be yelled at! The nerve of him…"

On the other hand, Takato took no exception to these recent earthquake events. He planned on going out to meet his friends over at the park. As soon as he went over to his family's bakery, he had forgotten to get the food that he had promised Guilmon. He grabs as much leftover bread as he could and just as he was about to go out the back door, his mother was calling out to him. He turned to see his mom crossing her arms.

"Takato! Just where do you think your going, young man?"

"I'm going to the park to play with my friends."

"Uh huh. Don't you have homework? You know that you can't get behind on your school work."

"But my friends are expecting me at the park."

"So you actually think that you're going to graduate for going to the park on a daily basis. You think that you're actually going to get good grades just for going to the park?"

"I'll do my homework later. I have to go."

As soon as Takato goes running out the door, his mother could only look on and place her hand on her face while sighing in disbelief.

"Man. She must have gotten graduated from the school of nagging."

Suddenly, the ground was starting to shake and the abnormal earthquakes were resuming once again. Takato was becoming quite concerned over these earthquakes that have been occurring lately. They've been getting bigger and bigger each time.

"These earthquakes are getting a lot worse. I just have that feeling that something is bound to happen today and it doesn't look pretty."

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

Henry was also feeling the effects of the earthquakes over in his apartment. Just like Takato, he was now becoming very concerned about these recent earthquakes. He looks out over towards the window and begins to think if a Deva was coming.

"I don't have a good feeling about this."

Suzie was practically crying while holding onto Terriermon with dear life. The news came on the television and the reporter was discussing the issue that has been occurring as far as the abnormal earthquakes are concerned.

"These recent earthquakes have yet to be investigated but they have been continuous as the days pass. We will keep you informed on more information, now for these messages..."

Henry looks over towards Suzie, who was holding onto Terriermon. He walks on over and then reaches out for Terriermon.

"Suzie. Give him here."

"No! Tewiermon will protect me."

"Give him here, Suzie."

"But Henry. Where's daddy?"

"He's not here."

"Why?"

"He's at work. Now give Tewiermon to me."

"No…"

"Suzie!!"

The little purple-haired girl looks up at her older brother in shock and lets go out Terriermon. Henry snatches up the floppy-eared digimon and goes to walk off towards the front door. He stops as he heard his little sister crying.

"I… wish… you weren't… my brother…"

"I'm sorry, Suzie. But I have to go…"

With that said, Henry goes walking out the door while carrying Terriermon along with him. Suzie was left all scared and not sure of what to do without Terriermon at her side.

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

TK was looking out his window while Kari was watching the news on television. He could remember the conversation that he and Leomon had a couple of nights ago.

"What if is was just a sign of things to come? He said something about a Deva being more powerful and bigger than the rest. I have a bad feeling that revelation might come true. But we all have to be prepared, Digi-Destined and Tamers alike."

"TK? What are you thinking about," Kari asked as she walked up to him.

"About the conversation I had with Leomon. He mentioned of a Deva to being more powerful than the rest. I think the time might come soon and with these recent earthquakes, that revelation just might come true."

"Oh. You also were confronted by those two mysterious being didn't you?"

"Yeah. I'm not sure if they are really on our side or not, but I do believe that they might have been sent here by the four guardians to keep a close observation on us, but for whatever reason, I have no idea. That little guy seemed to know a lot about us."

"I know and he's very interested in fighting my brother. He wants to see the true depth of Omega X's power."

"He must be crazy if that guy is challenging Omega X. He has no idea of what he's up against."

"You're wrong. I have a feeling that this guy is much more powerful than you least expect. Otherwise, he wouldn't have requested a one on one battle against Omega X," Gatomon replied, "Believe me, guys like him would usually hide the true depth of their full potential power."

"And remember, we still have to keep an eye out for this Deva," Patamon said, "And we'll be ready."

"You're right. We really just need to focus on that Deva attack and then put our focus on that guy's challenge. But I'm just not sure."

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

Elsewhere, Henry was walking alongside a street while looking back at how he had treated his sister. He felt sorry for having to take Terriermon away from her and leaving her all alone. He noticed Terriermon making observations over him.

"I see it pretty interesting for us to walk along the streets. Plus, you didn't have to treat Suzie like that. I almost felt kind of sorry for her… Even if she does give me the Miss Pretty Pant treatment on me…"

"I'm just worried about a lot of things. I mean, the safety of my family, what the Devas might do, what would happen to the world and so forth."

Just then, he stops and comes across a poster that was taped on the window shelf of a store. He noticed something peculiar about it and goes to walk inside, but then gets caught by surprise as he saw Rika and her grandmother walking out.

"Rika? Whoa, its a surprise to see you here."

"Well, I was just shopping with my grandmother. I only wanted jeans. There was nothing else to do…"

"Yeah right."

Henry goes and asks the store manager for a copy of the calendar poster and receives one just like that. He goes and meets with Rika outside the store.

"Hey, Rika. You want to go and meet Takato over at the park. We can discuss our plans."

"Can I, grandma?"

"Well, your going to have to tell your mother that."

"Ugh, as always…"

Rika takes the phone and hears her mother nagging at her about shopping for the proper clothes.

"Rika. All you want is jeans, jeans, jeans. I mean you have no fashion sense. Where's the sport to that?"

"Look, mother. But I don't want to wear any stupid dresses. Besides, I'm going out with my friends to the park."

"But honey, you can't buy any dresses at the park. There are not even thrift stores there. Rika… Rika Nonaka, you answer me…"

"Sorry but I have to go…"

As soon as she handed the phone over to her grandmother, Rika heads off to the park with Henry.

"Mom, what am I going to do with her? She has no fashion taste and jeans won't do the trick. She's so into this tom boyish style…"

"Well, she is more interested in having friends more than her looks. Just let her do what she wants, being with her friends seems to make her more happier."

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

Down within the underground sewers, Impmon was looking down upon his wounded body and was mumbling on how miserable he was.

"Just look at me. I'm nothing but a pathetic loser… After getting beat by that jackass Indramon, I seem to have lost all of my pride… I'm not good enough for this world… I should just roll over and die… Yeah, I'm better off dead anyway…"

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

Meanwhile back over at the park, Kazu and Kenta were hanging out with Takato as Kazu was performing several Card Slash poses but seemed to fail each time.

"Alright, here goes nothing! Card Slash! Matrix Evolution!! Hiya!! So, what do you think?"

"Not bad. Just needs a little more work, that's all."

"Heh. Soon, I'm going to perfect the stance one of these days. Now I wonder what kind of a digimon I would end up with."

"I'll probably end up with an Angemon," said Kenta, "Like the one from the Virus incident seven years ago."

"No way! Imperialdramon rocks your world, baby!"

"Or even Virus himself!"

"In your dreams, dude."

"Well, with all of these Devas appearing, there's a good chance that some good digimon might arrive to become your partners," Henry said as he came walking by with Rika.

"Yeah, just like Leomon," Takato replied, "But he seemed to walk away from her, but he knew that he had a mission, so I don't think he would count."

"Especially if it deals with his old friends, the Digi-Destined," stated Henry.

Just then, they all noticed Jeri sitting behind them from behind some bushes. The girl sat up and then walks over towards the group with a pack of cards in her hands.

"Ok, guys. I want one of you to teach me how to play," Jeri said, "I want to become a good card player, so I can become a good Digimon Tamer."

Kazu and Kenta looked over at the stack of cards that she had in possession. They both had widened eyes and open gaping mouths.

"Whoa! What did you do, spend up all of your allowance," asked Kazu, "That's a stack full!"

"No kidding! And you even got some of the rare ones!"

"I've been looking for this one for ages," Kazu said while pointing out to an Omnimon card.

"Careful, they're alphabetized," Jeri stated.

"Hey, tell you what. Maybe we can trade and I can give you a few pointers here and there," Kazu said.

"Ditto here," replied Kenta.

"I don't want to trade. I want to learn how to play," said Jeri.

"Then I should be the one who teaches you," Rika calls out.

Jeri turns around and then snatches up all of her cards. She runs over to the Digimon Queen with a smile on her face. Kazu and Kenta looked on with shocked expressions on their faces as Rika starts to give Jeri a few pointers on how to play the basics.

"Oh man, if she gets good as Rika, we'll lose all of our cards," said Kenta.

"Didn't you already lose all of your cards to me," asked Kazu.

"Ok. So that's a defense and you could use this to," Rika said but stopped as she noticed Jeri with a sad look on her face.

"Rika… You ever think that Leomon will come back to me?"

"I don't know. But, if he doesn't, you'll end up with another partner."

"Maybe your right. Thank you, Rika."

Calumon comes jumping by and lands on top of Jeri's head. She looks up at the small digimon with a smile on her face.

"Maybe Calumon could be your partner," Rika said.

Elsewhere, the boys were looking over the calendar and Kazu made a comment concerning bikini girls. But Henry had a serious look on his face.

"So what's so significant about this poster calendar? I see nothing but Chinese Zodiacs," Takato said.

"The Devas…"

The gasped in shock as they quickly examined each Chinese animal year and noticed a coincidence between the Chinese calendar and the Devas. Some of which have been in the form of these animals thus far.

"Have you noticed that each time that we have faced a deva, they have been in the form of an animal. Lets take a observation. Santiramon- Snake. Shinduramon-Chicken. Pajiramon- Sheep. Vajiramon- Ox. Mihiramon- Tiger. Kumbhiramon- Rat. Indramon- Horse."

"So, we still have to handle a pig, a dog, a monkey, a rabbit and a dragon?" Rika asked.

"Yeah and I wonder which Deva will be the most powerful than the rest. I have a feeling that it maybe bigger than we possibly think," Henry said.

"I just hope that it isn't the dragon. I really hate fire-breathers," Kazu said.

"Or fire, period," replied Kenta.

"We're just going to have to be on the look out and make sure that nothing odd starts going on, like those earthquakes. Stay on guard," Takato said.

They all nodded in agreement.

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

Later that day, a bright sunset was descending upon the city and the group was soon about to head out to their homes after a long day.

"It's been a long day, but I think it would be safe to go home now. There hasn't been anything abnormal going on around here," Henry said.

"I agree. We should really be heading out," Takato replied.

"Ok, is it just me or are there more of us than we thought," Kenta asked.

"What do you? You've probably were counting yourself twice," remarked Kazu.

"No. I'm serious. One, two, three, four, five… Hmm, there's somebody behind us!"

They all turned to see none other than the mysterious boy making an observation over Calumon. He looks at the little digimon with tiny, beady eyes.

"Its him again!" Takato said angrily.

"What do you want," Henry asked.

"Man, this kid is really freaking my out and I usually never get freaked out by things like that," Kazu said, "But he's the weirdest of the weird! Geez."

"Looks like Jeri's got a boyfriend," remarked Kenta.

"Hey you! Tell us. What do you really want," Takato asked demandingly.

But the boy responded with a scream that caused them to cover their ears and allowed the boy enough time to get away. The group uncovered their ears and then looked over towards the boy, who stopped and 'twisted' his head all the way around, in a 180 degree angle, to get a good look at them.

"Geez, I couldn't twist my head all the way like that. I would have to be some kind of cork, in order to do that," Kazu said.

"Maybe, he's some sort of robot or something," Takato said.

"You guys. Maybe he just wants to be friends and we're not even giving him a chance. So I say we follow him," Jeri said.

Jeri goes running off to catch up to the "boy" but he was quick enough to speed off in the nick of time. The group headed out to follow Jeri into the city. The boy was running so fast that the group was unable to catch up to him. A devious smirk comes across his face and he quickly speeds off, leaving the group in a cloud of dirt.

"Geez, I wonder what kind of vitamins he must be taking," pondered Kenta.

"I don't want to find out, it might be pretty unhealthy for us," replied Kazu.

"Well wherever he is, he's gone now," said Takato.

Just then, as Guilmon was catching up to him, he quickly growls and senses the presence of a bio-emerging digimon. Takato takes notice of this.

"What is it, boy? What do you feel? Another digimon?" he asked.

Terriermon also turns around and faces the same direction that Guilmon was facing.

"Terriermon?"

"We've got trouble on the way."

[Fast-paced anonymous plays]

With that said, Guilmon goes speeding off into another direction and back towards the park. Terriermon goes and follows the crimson-skinned dinosaur. The group could only look on but then Renamon appears out of nowhere and advises them to follow them.

"If you guys are just going to standing there all day, I advise you to follow us over to the park. We can sense an approaching digimon on its way over and its energy level is huge," said Renamon.

"Lets go guys. There's no point in catching up with that kid. We got bigger issues to deal with," Takato said.

They all nodded in agreement as they headed out towards the park with Renamon quickly phasing right over towards the destination. As soon as the Tamers made it over to the middle of the park, a rather gigantic digital field was forming. Guilmon, Terriermon and Renamon were all lined up together as they faced off whatever maybe bio-emerging.

"What do you think it could be?" asked Jeri.

"Something, I really don't want to find out. But I have a feeling that it may just maybe it," Takato replied.

"Your right, Takato," Guilmon said, "Its what we feared."

As soon as the digital field cleared away, a rather large monster appeared with a huge snout, a pair of huge tusks and a large 'D' marking on its forehead.

"Whoa! That is seriously one big pig," remarked Takato.

The two mystery beings were looking on from a far distance. The short blue-skinned boy was the first to speak.

"The time has come," said the elf-like boy.

"Yes and now is the time to locate the Digi-Destined of Light. We shall see how truly powerful she really is," said the panda.

"The Tamers may hold it off for a little while but we must get the Digi-Destined for this. This will require everyone's participation. The time has come."

They both phased away while they began their search for the Digi-Destined of light they were speaking of, that would be none other than Kari Kamiya herself.

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

Elsewhere, Ken and Yolei noticed their digimon with tensed looks. Wormmon and Hawkmon felt an uprising power from the boar deva.

"Wormmon?"

"Hawkmon?

"It's finally come," said Hawkmon. "Do you feel that Wormmon?"

"The Tamers are in for a battle."

"What are you guys talking about?" Yolei asked. "Is it another one of those Devas?!"

"There's no doubt about it," Ken replied. "C'mon we have to go meet with the others! There's no time to lose!"

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

Back over at Hypnos headquaters, the operators were picking up a large mass of energy developing within the real world plane of existence. The energy was obviously coming from the pig creature itself. It was said that scanning the large creature would cause a major overload in the system. Even attempting to scan it would not work.

Mr. Wong and Yamaki were starting to have a major disagreement concerning the Juggernaut program. Yamaki insisted that it was to be used right away, but Mr. Wong was not very trustworthy of using it right away.

"Yamaki, you have to listen to me. Without any proper information, it would be very dangerous to use. We won't know what kind of a side effect it will have in the real world."

"As if I were to care what were to happen if I were to activate the Juggernaut. Do not question my authority. There's no choice and this will be the final nail to the coffin to those digimon once and for all."

"But you can't. Are you willing to risk our world just for this experiment?"

"As long as orders are being given to me, I shall not be held back. Are you willing to risk the safety of your own family for these artificial trash?!"

Yamaki looked over to the grid screen and saw a large mass forming into what seemed to be a very huge mass of data forming into the large pig that was standing in the park.

"Perfect. Now I can demonstrate the Juggernaut's full potential and that digimon shall make the perfect guinea pig."

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

Back underground, Impmon was humming to himself on how worthless he has now become. He kicks a rock into a nearby wall and sighs to himself.

"I'm just totally useless. A joke. Nobody gives a damn… Heck, I don't even give a damn about myself… I haven't eaten for days, but that's fine. This way I can just crawl over and die…"

Suddenly, Impmon turned to see a small digital field forming from ahead of him. A look of satisfaction comes across his face.

"What's this? Is it a way back home? So, that's it? I'm not wanted here. I'm supposed to go back. What a joke, I'm not even needed there too."

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

Izzy peered through his hotel window with astonishment. Tentomon trembled uneasily and sent an electrical blast through the window.

"Tentomon! The window!"

"Sorry, Izzy. But this is much more important than the window!"

"Inconceivable! My computer is picking up a reading from a high level presence that came out from the wormhole above those twin buildings!"

"Another Deva, Izzy. I can feel it."

"Deva? This doesn't look good! We have to warn the others! Looks like we'll definitely need Tai for this."

"Isn't Matt in town?"

"Yeah. We'll be sure to contact him. We better hurry!"

"Right!"

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

The Tamers and their digimon were facing off against the massive pig. The digimon were shaking with anger as they felt the pig's energy level. This was perhaps going to be their toughest adversary thus far. Not even Indramon had this amount of power as this pig did.

"Man. I better take a look at this guy. Then, we'll know where we stand," Takato said as he looks at his D-Ark.

The D-Ark displayed a hologram image of the pig plus some statistics on him.

[Vikaralymon. Ultimate-Level. Deva. Special Attacks:]

Just then, Vikaralymon was slowly starting to move and was walking towards the city. He didn't even make an attempt at attacking the Tamers, which brought shock to the digimon. Then they noticed bits of data flowing from the back of Vikaralymon as he was slowly walking through the city and crushing anything that stands in his way as if he were a street sweeper.

"Where's that data coming from? Is that power being delivered to him," Henry asked.

"Either that or this pig has been taking digital showers as of late. But I can sure still smell him! Phew!"

"We've got to stop him! That fur of his is actually doing damage! And I really don't want to find out how destructive his powers really are. We have to be careful," said Takato, "So, are you guys ready?"

"Yeah, lets go Terriermon!"

"Right!"

"Renamon."

"I'm here, Rika."

"Jeri! You're going to have to stay here, because this battle may turn out to be really ugly. Kazu. Kenta. You guys think you can look after Jeri while we're off to battle against that porker," asked Takato.

"Don't worry, chumley. We got ya covered. Jeri will be fine with us."

"Same goes for Calumon too. Make sure that you win and score another one for the dream team."

"Oh brother, dream team? What's next," Rika muttered while rolling her eyes.

"Ok, there's no time for that. We've got more important things to do. Lets go, Tamers! Off into battle again," Takato exclaimed.

"I'm with you, Takato! Lets do it!"

The three Tamers pulled out an evolution card and then slashed them through their D-Arks.

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

Evolution!!

[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]

"Guilmon shinka!! Growlmon!!"

"Terriermon shinka!! Gargomon!!"

"Renamon shinka!! Kyuubimon!!"

Suddenly, the army was coming right in as several helicopters were following along Vikaralymon's destructive trail. They were about to shot out missiles, but then they noticed that three champion level digimon were coming in towards the pig.

[Disturbed "Stupify" plays w/o lyrics]

Growlmon, Kyuubimon and Gargomon were coming across from another path as they started to attack Vikaralymon from different sides.

"Gargo Laser!!"

"Dragon Wheel!!"

"Pyro Blaster!!"

The three powerful attacks were able to connect with Vikaralymon, but it seemed to not have any effect on the heavy fur that was covering the giant boar. It looked as though the coat was made of some sort of indestructible material that may also seem fireproof.

"It didn't even make a dent on him," Kyuubimon exclaimed.

"So, what are we going to do now?" Gargomon asked frantically.

"Who cares?! We'll attack with everything we got," said Growlmon.

The Tamers could only look on helplessly as Vikaralymon continues his destructive walk through the city, and shocked to realize that not even there three combined attacks of their digimon were ineffective against the woolly monster.

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

Back over at Hypnos, the dispute between Mr. Wong and Yamaki was still heating up more than ever. It seems as though they wanted to grab at each other's throats but remained argumentative, without having to resort to violence. That was the last thing in the world that would want at a time like this.

After a long argument, Yamaki called for the Juggernaut to be activated, which did not suite well with Mr. Wong.

"Now all digimon shall be exterminated. Just you wait and see, Janyuu. They will be gone and this world will be safe."

"But I can't destroy all of the artificial life, especially the ones that befriended my son and his friends. It just feels like a total waste."

"After this, we shall construct a firewall, that way once all of the digimon are deleted, then we shall prevent from any bio-emerges to occur. Its best that way and you know it. Do you really want our world to be destroyed by these digital life forms?"

Mr. Wong stood there with a look of guilt on his face while turning away from Yamaki, whose ambitions to exterminate the digimon has gone straight to his head.

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

The three Tamer champions got their second wind as they charged in to attack Vikaralymon once again. Growlmon was the first to attack with his Pyro Blaster and nails it right into the monster's back. Gargomon was the next to attack as he shoots out his Gargo Laser on one side of the powerful Deva. Kyuubimon jumps up from behind and fires away her Fox Tail Inferno over at the backside of the boar monster from hell. But the three attacks were still ineffective on the woolly beast, no matter which position to attack him.

"We still can't make a dent on him!" exclaimed Growlmon, "This is getting hopeless."

"What are we supposed to do now? Our digimon aren't even doing anything to him, let alone damaging him?" Henry asked.

"What if we can't beat him," Rika asked.

"No. There's only one-way to beat him and that's if we make our digimon go into their ultimate level forms. Its the only possible solution," Takato said, "Its worth a try."

"But we don't even have a blue card with us," Henry said, "So that's pretty pointless if our digimon can't go into their ultimate-level forms without the blue cards."

"But they appeared when we really needed them. Especially those times when we were near death situations against the past Devas."

"He's right. It's worth a try. Looks like I actually agreed with you on something goggle head, so get used to it," Rika said with a smile on her face.

"Yeah that's a first," Takato replies with a smile of his own, "Alright. We're going to have to think deep and down on this, or it isn't going to work."

Each Tamer pulled out a random card of their own as they started to think deep and hard from their feelings.

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

Elsewhere within the city, Kari and Gatomon were running along while picking up several energy signals from her D-3. Tagging along behind her was none other than TK and Patamon. They noticed the devastation along the city and knew that it had to be the work of the newly bio-emerged Deva.

"Look at all of this destruction," said Kari, "And this is the work of that Deva. Ok, I've seen enough. Gatomon, we're taking action. You think you have a little fusion power within you?"

"I could ask you the same question."

"You better make up your minds, because it's getting really ugly out there," TK replied.

"Hold on. Child of Light, remain where you are," a voice called out.

The two Digi-Destined turned around to see none other then the spiky-haired, elf boy and his panda comrade. Patamon and Gatomon stood aside as they felt their energy levels. Any normal digimon would have made them leap into a battle stance, but not this time around.

"You two again? What do you want? Can't you see that there's a Deva out there destroying the city?!" TK exclaimed.

"Yes. We can see that. One of you must go out there right away, but I strongly suggest that you go, Takeru. The Child of Light needs to display her full power. We want to see it and we could put it to good use."

"But why do you need me and what do you mean my powers would be to good use?" asked Kari.

"Lets just say that it might be a way to defeating the rest of the Deva clan. Trust me, you have my word that Kari shall rejoin you in the battle," said the boy.

"But…"

"But nothing. TK show him a little respect. That is no way to talk to the Supreme Guardian," Leomon said as he came hovering down along with several familiar faces.

TK and Kari stood there with widened looks on their faces. The young man that they were talking to was none other than the ever power Supreme Guardian.

"The Supreme Guardian?! But I thought those were myths and legends told by the four guardians. So you the one," TK asked.

"Yes. My name is Shintomon. I'm one of the four supreme guardians that watch over the dimensional order between the digital and real worlds. Our power far surpasses those of the four guardians of the digital world. I have come here to warn you of an even greater threat than the Devas. But first we must defeat this pig Deva, in order to make that course of action. And my assistant here is Buddamon."

"But first, Hikari, show me your great power. We could put it to good use," replied Buddamon.

"Go on, Kari. Its ok," a voice called out.

Kari looked over and saw none other than War Greymon and Tai. She then sees Metal Garurumon with Matt, Davis with Xveemon, Sonja and Ken with Stingmon.

"Alright, if its ok with you, big brother…"

Kari looks over towards the two beings and pressed her D-3 against her chest as it started glowing a pink glow.

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

Back over on the other side of the city, the three Tamers had managed to tap into their hearts to bring forth the power needed to bring the blue cards into existence.

"My mother always nags me because she only fears for my safety and wants what's best for me. If only I would listen to my mom more."

"My sister probably hates me for leaving her. But I'm only doing this to protect her. Please, forgive, Suzie."

"My mother may seem to always be nagging me for not dressing up like the way she wants. But I know deep inside, she loves me. I shouldn't always treat her like the way I do."

"I want to protect my sister."

"I want to protect my family."

"I want to protect the whole darn city."

One by one, each of their cards turned blue and the power needed to help their digimon evolve was now in their hands.

The Tamers took the blue cards and slashed them through their D-Arks.

[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]

"Card Slash!! Matrix Evolution!!"

Matrix Evolution!!

[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]

"Growlmon matrix shinka!! War Growlmon!!"

"Gargomon matrix shinka!! Rapidmon!!"

"Kyuubimon matrix shinka!! Taomon!!"

Vikaralymon was about to make his next destructive march through another street but was abruptly halted by the three ultimates as they all stood in his way. They each powered up and auras flared around their bodies, indicating their true potential power. Vikaralymon was quickly taken by this and managed to keep his composure intact.

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

Just then, Juggernaut had just been unleashed and a powerful beam goes shooting out from the rooftops of Hypnos and into the skylines, which was creating a massive energy field.

"Yamaki! I demand for you to stop this," Mr. Wong exclaimed as he grabbed Yamaki.

Yamaki pushes him away and then shouts in anger at him as if he had already lost his mind.

"Keep your hands off of me! The destruction of all the digimon has now begun. There's nothing you or your colleagues can do now."

"No! Henry! I'm sorry…"

Another huge beam comes shooting out from the twin towers of the Hypnos building, which was indicating that something bad was soon about to happen.

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

The Digi-Destined group, along with Shintomon and Buddamon, watched on as Kari's body was transforming into a pink aura of light, which was also happening to Gatomon at the very same time.

["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]

"Gatomon! Fusion Shinka!!"

The two managed to merge together as they became one single mass of pink energy. The ground started to crumble under the massive energy and the two power beings were quickly caught off guard by what they were feeling. Her energy level was massive.

As soon as the light faded away, the fusion form of both Kari and Gatomon stood in their place. A young woman stood with a pink get-up suit that looked similar to an Amazonian warrior woman, with white leather boots, long-blonde hair, heavenly blue eyes, a long staff with a spear at the end and a nicely shaped figure.

"So, what do you think," she asked, "We are now Celesta X. We are the fusion of Gatomon and Hikari. The single force that defeated Virus even years ago."

"Yo, TL, Kari still has it in her and her fusion form still looks as good as ever," Davis remarked.

With one loud smack, Davis' wife, Sonja smacked him in the back of the head. TK laughed as Davis was holding the back of his head. Sonja was once one of Datamon's most dangerous artificals, but turned to the side of the Digi-Destined during these last seven years. Despite looking like a normal human, she has extraordinary powers.

"What a remarkable energy!" said Buddamon.

"Yes, but I wonder how long that will last," said Shintomon.

"What do you mean by that?" Tai asked.

Shintomon looked over at the top of a nearby roof where the mysterious boy was sitting with a devious smile on his face. The boy then looked down over the aura-glowing Celesta X, while holding an energy drainer in one hand.

Over on the other side of town, Vikaralymon came to a complete halt as War Growlmon, Taomon and Rapidmon stopped in his path.

We got a major catastrophe in our hands! On one side, we got a super powerful boar hell bent on causing more destruction and on the other we got a fully powered fusion warrior. We did manage to find out the true identities of the two power beings, Shintomon and Buddamon. The Tamers are at a tight pinch!
