Last Week: Davis received his task for his final initiation ritual. Because Delta Gamma has dishonored the name of Alpha Zeta, Davis has been selected to go on a panty raid at the sorority house! What he doesn't know is that he won't be the only one there. Renamon was on the receiving end of a glue sandwich. When Impmon found an empty glue jar by Gatomon, Gatomon was on the receiving end of a litter box to the head. The older DigiDestined met up where Izzy was coaxed into revealing the secret of the undercover Hypnos agents. Tai is now determined to meet Yamaki personally, but Matt's tagging along to make sure Tai doesn't completely lose it. Takato was starting to run out of ideas for his comic strip, but a quick meeting with Veemon turned him towards the sorority house. Ryo's also heading to the sorority house, adding another combustible element to an already volatile mixture. Meanwhile, Joe has been gathering up volunteers for the weekend at the campsite. TK happily volunteered, but knew he was in for an awkward weekend when he found out that Catherine would also be going. The villains have also regrouped and have called upon the relative of a departed Dark Master. Puppetmon has called up ChaosSeadramon to infiltrate the real world while ChaosGallantmon remains on the sidelines. After another round of insubordination from The Digimon Empress, Datamon was quick to hold up an injector needle to show Puppetmon that they still held all the power.
Digimon: The College Years
Episode 29- Victo-Rika's Secret
It had been years since TK set foot on the soil of the old campsite. Not much had changed. The cabins were still up, the trees were still in one piece, and the canoes looked just as shoddy. TK stepped towards the wooden dock by the lake ahead of the other volunteers and heard the same creeks he did when he was eight.
"Nothing like the old campsite," TK smiled.
Kazu walked through the same dock, but took a wrong step and his right foot ended up plowing through right through two panels. "Uh…was your campsite ALWAYS this lovely?"
TK sweatdropped. "I guess not much has changed here."
Joe joined everybody on the dock, holding a stationary Gomamon. "Ok, volunteers! We're going to be joined here very soon by a number of young campers, so put on your best smiles!"
Everyone briefly hesitated before putting on wide grins. TK felt like his face could freeze like that if he wasn't careful, but it would please the kids and that was all that mattered.
"My face hurts," Kenta said through his grin.
"Ok, what does our schedule look like, Izzy?" Joe asked.
Izzy put Tentomon down and looked through his clipboards. "The busses with all the campers should arrive at 5 o'clock sharp."
Joe turned around and started leading everyone towards the entranceway. "Alright, everybody! Let's go meet the campers!"
Kenta leaned over to Kazu's ear. "You didn't actually go through with taking Guardromon apart, did you?"
"Kenta, what a dumb question. Of course I did! I wasn't about to leave him at the dorms over the weekend. All it took was a little bit of extra effort."
Everyone followed Joe's lead. TK looked behind his back to see that Catherine was staying close, thus setting the tone for what could turn out to be a very awkward weekend.
After camping out for the night, Davis woke up that morning and saw his target right in front of him. He saw the sorority house that belonged to Delta Gamma. He made sure to deck himself out in a black burglar's ensemble. He was wearing nothing but black for this task, with the ever-recognizable pair of goggles that he donned on his head.
He didn't head in right away. To venture in there in broad daylight would be total madness. Davis knew the time to go in would be at night.
So he remained at his post until the sun began to set. Once he saw the sun fading into a dark orange, he knew it would be time to rush in. So he stepped out of the bushes and took a deep breath.
He took one step forward and realized he was about to take a big step into the final frontier. He had never been a part of a panty raid before, but here he was, about to enter a sorority house in hopes of coming out with every single pair of panties inside. And he would do it all on behalf of his fraternity of Alpha Zeta. Once he was done, Davis would be a brother.
Taking another deep breath, Davis headed forward into what would be his final initiation ritual.
Takato checked his watch. "It sure took you long enough, Davis."
Takato waited in another set of bushes, waiting for Davis to make whatever move he was going to make. He wasn't familiar with how panty raids were done, so he decided to just snoop around behind Davis and wait for all the fireworks to ignite. Davis searching a sorority house for panties just sounded like a total recipe for disaster and wackiness. And Takato wanted to be there to draw every detail. If Takato caught every piece of the action, he knew Goggle Man would be an even bigger hit than it already was.
Davis was already moving towards the Delta Gamma house, so Takato crept through the bushes right alongside him. Davis stopped for a moment, so Takato froze. The DigiDestined goggle boy turned around. Takato managed to freeze just in time for the bushes to remain motionless. Davis shrugged and kept on walking. Safely able to move forward again, Takato kept treading closely behind Davis.
Davis stopped at the front door and decided that a direct entrance likely wasn't a good idea. So Davis reached into a backpack and pulled out a grappling hook. He aimed for the sorority house's chimney. He tossed the grappling hook in the air until he hooked one of the gutters. He started climbing the rope, but ran into a problem as he scaled the wall. The gutter gave way and Davis began to slowly fall backwards until he landed on his back. Takato snickered as he drew the details of this latest little mishap of Davis's.
Davis quickly regrouped and grabbed his grappling hook again. He decided to hook it onto something a bit sturdier than the rain gutters. He aimed for the chimney itself. He tossed the grappling hook and it grasped onto the brick chimney. Davis began his ascent onto the Delta Gamma house's roof. That's when Takato saw the inherent problem this presented.
There was no way Takato could follow Davis up the roof and, assumedly, down the chimney. He would have to find another way inside. The goggled Tamer then got another idea. He would go in through a window and find Davis from there.
Not wasting anymore time, Takato rushed through the bushes to find the nearest window he could climb through. He saw all of them were locked, but there was one that was slightly ajar. Takato squeezed his fingers in as tightly as he could. He slowly pushed the window open and began to climb in.
Davis knew he was on easy street now. This wasn't the first time he climbed onto a roof and fell in through a chimney. This would be a piece of cake for him.
He gathered up his grappling hook and lowered the line slowly inside the chimney. He began carefully climbing down, but there was something he hadn't noticed. The hook had come loose and was wobbling frantically. The hook finally came loose and Davis found himself falling.
"AAH! OOF!"
Davis fell right on his backside. But he knew he was in for it. If there was anybody inside the house, he knew somebody would soon be on his tail. So he took a dive into a nearby closet and hid there. Nobody came into the room, meaning it was safe to go on, but before continuing, Davis checked the closet for any sign of what he was looking for.
After exiting the closet, Davis made his way to the sorority house's bathroom. He walked in and searched for what he sought in there, but that's when he began to hear footsteps. Davis scrambled to find a hiding place, but found himself stuck. He finally settled saw an extra shower curtain on the ground. He dove underneath it and covered himself. He heard somebody come in.
Davis peeked out from underneath the shower curtain in time to see a pair of bare feet belonging to a young lady in front of him. Then he saw a towel fall to her feet. The girl stepped into the shower and the water started running. He couldn't just wait there as this girl showered. Davis knew he had to get out of there. As he poked his head out, he saw a pair of panties, which would be his first. He grabbed them and stuffed them in his backpack. He tiptoed towards the door while the girl remained behind the shower curtain, unaware of Davis's presence. Davis reached the door and slowly opened it, but it opened with a loud creak…getting the attention of the girl in the shower.
"Leezel, is that you?" the girl asked. She stuck her head out and saw Davis. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!"
Davis followed suit. "AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"
That's when Davis realized that screaming would not solve anything, so he did the only thing he could do.
He ran to safety.
Rika laid flat on her back in her sleeping bag. "So what do you guys think about when you look up there?"
Everyone was looking up at the ceiling, but Rika didn't mean the ceiling. She meant the skies. It was a starry night and the girls were just getting in from the backyard of the Delta Gamma house. Although it was only eight o'clock, the girls were all already in their pajamas. A number of them were doing each others' hair, others were painting their nails, a couple were looking out the window, and others like Rika were lying on their backs in their sleeping bags.
"I thank my lucky stars there aren't any men here right now," Leezel joked.
"I feel the same way," Rika chuckled.
"You know, Rika, you never answered that question we asked you last night," Leezel pointed out.
"What question's that?" Rika asked.
"What's up with that Ryo guy? Are you two together or what?"
"Why would you think that?" Rika sighed.
"I don't know. It's like you two have a unique love-hate relationship. You're always cold to the guy, but I'll bet you can't imagine your life without him."
Rika smirked. "You don't know what you're talking about."
"No, I think…"
The door suddenly opened before Leezel could even finish. Rika sat up and saw Danielle, soaking wet and wearing nothing but a towel. She had literally just come out of the shower.
"Leezel! There's a guy in here! He tried to look at me in the shower and he took my underwear!"
The girls all gasped. They all looked at each other and started to panic. Leezel got to her feet and stood up on top of one of the beds.
"Girls, settle down! Now it appears we have a situation here. If there really is a man here, then…um…Danielle? Did you say he took your UNDERWEAR?"
"That's what I said."
"Ok, girls. It appears we have a PERVERT in this house…who's…uh…looking for our underwear."
The girls kept murmuring amongst themselves and panicking. Some of the girls were reaching for their bags and making sure their underwear was still safely in their possession. But for many of the other girls, their bags were in another room and they were noticeably nervous. Rika had just about had enough. She stood up and whistled.
"Ok, you girls are panicking over nothing!" Rika growled.
"Nothing?" Danielle repeated. "There's a creep going around grabbing and stealing our underwear! You're saying that's NOTHING?!"
Rika chuckled. "Ladies…sisters…if there's one thing I'm not, it's defenseless. Never have been, never will be." She started walking towards the door, but turned to look back before exiting. "You girls sit tight. I'm going out to make this pervert sorry he ever messed with Delta Gamma. He hasn't dealt with the likes of me before."
Rika walked out…and looked to arm herself with something…
TK looked on as the young campers worked on their crafts. They were making straw baskets. He made like a good volunteer and oversaw the whole thing. The cabin was so crowded, he didn't notice the other counselors there, but he was surprised when he ran into a certain young lady. She looked familiar, so TK tapped her on the shoulder.
"Rosa?"
Rosa turned around and smiled. "Hola, TK! I didn't expect to see you here."
"I didn't expect to see YOU here. What are you doing here?"
"Some of us at the high school are helping out for the weekend. But it's not a lot of us. You'd be surprised how unconcerned high school people are."
"Anybody else from the high school here?"
Rosa pointed behind TK. TK turned around and recognized the back of this certain boy's head.
"Cody!"
Cody turned around. "TK! What are you doing here?"
"I'm volunteering for the weekend. I didn't expect to see you and Rosa here."
"I didn't expect us to be the only two volunteers from the high school," Cody sighed.
TK was thinking about something. "You two are the only two volunteers here? You know…I have noticed you two have been getting closer. You always come to the university together. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you two…have a thing for each other."
Cody and Rosa stayed silent…giving TK a death glare.
"YOU'RE CRAZY!!!"
"¡¡ESTAS LOCO!!"
TK flinched and sweatdropped. "Ok…I know when I'm way off. You know, some of us are roasting marshmallows later. Feel free to join us."
Cody nodded. "Sounds good. I'll be there…and maybe Rosa will follow me. Who knows?"
TK started moving towards another table, but Rosa made sure to hold his arm.
"Uh…TK…you know, speaking of…uh…having a thing for someone…have you seen Ken around lately?"
Somehow, TK knew she would ask him that. He knew this was none of his business, but it was pretty obvious that Ken wasn't about to say anything himself. TK began to feel maybe it was best if he got involved.
"Uh…yeah…last I checked, he and Yolei were having a night out."
Rosa frowned. "Really? But…last time I heard, they were having a huge fight. I was starting to think Ken had finally left her for me."
TK didn't know what to say from there. But he knew he had to say something and hopefully put an end to everything. Ken and Yolei would thank him for it later.
"Rosa…those two are really…well…they're in love with each other. And I don't think Ken's looking for anybody else."
"How would you know?" Rosa huffed.
"Because I've seen it for myself. Rosa, maybe you should just quit while you're ahead. Believe me, you don't stand a chance with Ken."
TK was ready to kick himself. He worded that rather harshly and wished he could have put it gentler. He was feeling even worse when he saw Rosa defiantly turn her back on him, but not before TK noticed a tear rolling down her cheek. He had unintentionally hurt her feelings.
Rosa got up. "Con permiso…"
TK sighed. "Rosa, wait…"
Cody grabbed TK's arm and shook his head. "TK, what were you thinking? You don't know how Rosa is at the high school. It doesn't take much to make her lose her temper…and believe me, it'll be lost when she comes back."
TK didn't like the sound of that. "That's all I need: MORE woman problems."
There was a tapping on the door. TK looked over and saw Catherine was standing by the window and waving him over. It looked like there wouldn't be much more delay.
"Speak of the devil," TK groaned. "Excuse me, Cody."
Not wasting another moment, TK walked towards the door and decided to just get everything over with. He saw Catherine duck out as soon as TK walked out the door. She must have wanted him to follow her. So he tried to keep pace and she scurried away from the cabin.
Perhaps it was for the best. This was better off as a private conversation.
Izzy couldn't believe how much he was struggling. He was one of the most intelligent young men out there. He was extremely smart and had the ability to understand even the most complicated of scientific theories and mathematical theorems. He could do just about anything.
Yet he couldn't start a basic campfire.
"Come on, Izzy," Tentomon groaned. "Even Neanderthals could start a fire with two sticks."
Izzy had just about rubbed out the two sticks. "Don't compare me to a Neanderthal. I can do this."
"Are you sure you don't want me to get Joe?"
"Joe's probably AFRAID of fires. Besides, I can do this. It's all a matter of physics."
"Yeah, I can believe that. Starting a fire is physically impossible for you."
"Ha…ha. Aren't you quite the comedian?"
Izzy couldn't believe he was struggling this much with two wooden sticks. At this rate, he wouldn't have the fire ready in time for when Joe brought the kids. What he didn't notice was that he was about to be delayed even further. Somebody was calling him from the bushes.
"Izzy! Isn't that your professor friend?" Tentomon asked.
Izzy turned around and saw that Talley Onodera really was calling him from the bushes. He was starting to get scared that they had already found out that he spilled the beans. Izzy didn't want to go. He didn't know what Talley would do to her. But Tentomon was already pushing him over. Izzy gave in and walked over to the shrubs. Talley pulled him in.
"I need to talk to you," Talley said.
Izzy was getting nervous. "Y-You do?"
"Yeah…there's something you need to know."
Izzy was still thinking that the agents had discovered that he had spilled their secret. He was expecting to hear that Yamaki was going to have him secretly eliminated.
"What's that?"
Talley sighed. "Yamaki would kill me if he found out about this. He'd likely have me fired. But I think you need to know what's going on. There's something you need to be informed of."
Somehow, Izzy was getting another vibe now. He was starting to think Talley was talking about something completely different.
"What do you mean?" Izzy asked curiously.
"Izzy…Yamaki's turning to his last resort to deal with the Digimon. He's given up on finding the mole and he's turning his focus towards protecting Kari and stopping the Digimon threat. That's why he's going to resurrect the old Juggernaut project."
"I'm almost afraid to ask…but what's the Juggernaut project?"
"Juggernaut was first developed five years ago to deal with the increasing threat of wild Digimon coming into our world through West Shinjuku. It was designed to completely delete Digimon without leaving any loose data. However, the first run completely backfired and the end result was the destruction of our offices and the unofficial end to Hypnos. Our superiors were so furious that Yamaki and the rest of us ended up getting fired.
"Once the D-Reaper made its way into West Shinjuku, Yamaki was rehired and we were all brought back along with a group known as the Monster Makers to put an end to the threat once and for all. We worked with the Monster Makers to take all the bugs out of the Juggernaut system. Once the long debugging process was completed, the Tamers were able to defeat the D-Reaper and the Juggernaut program reverted it to its original state, essentially ending the threat forever."
"I'm not seeing a downside to this," Izzy mused. "If this Juggernaut project can help us, then what's the problem?"
"I'm not finished. True, the Juggernaut played a major role in ending the D-Reaper threat…but there were VERY serious side effects. In order to keep the D-Reaper in the Digital World, everything from the Digital World was sucked out of our world and sent back to where they came from. All remaining gateways to the Digital World were also closed. To this day, I still don't know how the Tamers got their Digimon back. I haven't exactly had the chance to ask them.
"But this is what worries me, Izzy. If Yamaki restores the Juggernaut system, the possibility exists that every Digimon in Odaiba, if not the entire world, could be sent back into the Digital World. And if every port is closed, there may be no getting them back."
Tentomon sweatdropped. "I don't like the sound of that."
Izzy didn't know what to say. "There has to be another way!"
"That's what I was hoping to talk to you about, Izzy. Maybe there IS another way. But Yamaki and Riley won't here it from me. That's why I need your help. You're the smartest guy I know. You'll know what to do…won't you?"
Izzy sighed. "I'll certainly give it my all."
"Most importantly of all, you can't tell ANYBODY about this! This is our little secret. Promise me, Izzy!"
It didn't take much to get Izzy to agree. "I promise. Not a soul will know about this."
Talley smiled. "Thank you. I know you can do this. I know you'll figure out another way to handle this."
Izzy would have no choice. If the overzealous Yamaki unleashed this Juggernaut system, then all the Digimon were in danger.
Davis stuck his head out of the closet. There was nobody else there. He was clear to advance. With the sorority house eerily quiet, he tiptoed towards another room that was shrouded in darkness.
He looked for a light switch, but the light bulb was out. Only the faint illumination from the streetlamps outside was providing a light source. Davis then noticed a lot of backpacks and bags around the room.
Feeling in a particularly nosy mood, Davis looked through one of the bags…and found clothes. This was just what he was looking for. He knew he would find what he was looking for in these bags. Davis had hit paydirt. He had found his first pair of underwear.
But just as Davis grabbed his first pair…
"DROP…THE UNDERWEAR!"
Davis flinched. He had been caught. He turned around and saw a girl standing by the light, holding up a broom. Her face was made clear by the light coming from outside.
It was Rika.
Before Davis could even make his move, Rika started twirling the broom in her hand like a staff before taking a fighting stance. She unleashed a battle cry and charged forward. Twirling the broom before her first strike, she smacked Davis across the face with the bristly cleaning utensil. Davis tried to roll out of the way to safety, but Rika kept hammering away with the broom. He nearly pulled himself away, but Rika pulled him back by the ankle before giving him a stiff shot in the back with the broom, breaking it in half.
Finally, after taking a brutal beating, Davis managed to escape the beating when he rolled out the door. As he ran down the hall, however, he tripped and fell on his face. He turned around just as Rika ran after him. Davis was in the light now and his face was revealed.
"DAVIS?!"
Davis gulped. "Uh…Rika…I…can explain…"
"PERVERT!!"
Rika started pounding on Davis with her new weapon of choice: a mop. When Davis got to his feet, Rika greeted him with a huge kick to the posterior that knocked him down again. Davis frantically tried to get away, but Rika had shattered the mop on his back, just as she did with the broom. While Davis held his back, Rika picked up a vase and shattered it on his head.
"OWWWW!! RIKA!!"
"Don't 'RIKA' me! You'll be sorry you ever broke in here, Davis!"
Rika had reached over for a nearby baseball bat that the sorority obviously used for their softball games. She swung for the fences, but Davis managed to duck before she hit a home run. Finally finding an opening, Davis started heading for the hills.
He was so willing to do anything for membership to this frat. Skydiving was one thing, breaking into a rival fraternity's party was another, but dealing with a vengeful Rika was too much.
This wasn't worth the punishment. Davis was finally ready to throw in the towel.
Takato was completely lost. After seeing Davis go up to the roof and down the chimney, Takato had no idea where to find him. He didn't know the sorority house was that big. He wondered how many people could fit in here before the fire marshal would break up the party.
He couldn't believe he had lost Davis. He needed to find him if he had any hopes of getting the inevitable disaster in his sketchbook. Takato didn't want to think he had come all this way just to come up empty. He would have loved to give Goggle Man a new adventure.
"Great…I may already have to go into repeats."
Suddenly, Takato started to hear a commotion. He got the feeling that he found his good buddy. Takato walked towards the source of the uproar, but was surprised when a certain someone knocked him down on his can.
Takato didn't even have time to yell. He turned around and saw Davis was already up and running. Then he noticed something else.
Takato had a pair of panties draping over his head. Davis must have dropped them.
Things didn't get any better, because someone else was apparently chasing Davis and stopped immediately upon spotting Takato. It turned out to be Rika…who was holding up a baseball bat.
"TAKATO?! You're a part of this, too, Goggle Head?!"
Takato realized that he was not in a good position at all. He was caught inside a sorority house, completely unannounced, and had a pair of womens' underwear hanging over his head.
"Rika! This isn't what it looks like! I…OHHHHH!!!"
Rika didn't give him a chance to finish. Instead, she lined up and gave Takato a stiff field goal kick…in an unfriendly area. She then picked him up and dragged him to the front door. While Takato moaned in pain, Rika tossed him out the front door like a sack of potatoes. Takato just stayed down, figuring it was best to stay still while his pain went away.
"AND STAY OUT!!" Rika shouted.
Takato laid flat on his back. "Great…me and my bright ideas…"
Suddenly, the door opened again. Rika came back out, holding a dish in her hand.
"And THIS is for abandoning me a few weeks ago!!"
Rika shattered the dish over Takato's head. She contentedly turned around and walked back into the Delta Gamma house while Takato laid back and lost consciousness.
Satisfied with a job well done, Rika was about to reassure her sisters that the perverts were all gone, but somebody else knocked on the door. She was fully convinced that it was either Davis or Takato. But she could have sworn she saw Takato's eyes roll back after she smashed that dish on his head. Rika simply shrugged. Whoever it was would get another taste of Rika's fury.
She looked around for something else she could arm herself with. She had already used a broom, a mop, a vase, a baseball bat, and a dish. That's when she found one of the girls' snowboards lying around. It was a wooden board and looked very solid. So Rika picked it up and walked towards the door. She braced herself, because the knob began to turn. Rika hadn't locked the door…which would make it easier to whack this pervert.
Rika stood back while someone walked through the door.
"Hello…ACK!!"
Rika had clobbered her target over the head, instantly knocking him out, and bent the snowboard. She had delivered a winning blow. What she didn't realize until after she had swung…was that it wasn't Takato or Davis.
Rika had inadvertently knocked out Ryo.
Rika looked down at Ryo and back at the bent snowboard. "Uh…oops."
Realizing her gaffe, Rika started dragging Ryo towards one of the couches.
TK had lost Catherine. It was far too late at night to be following anybody. TK didn't see her around anywhere. He came out of the bushes and looked around, but only saw he was by the vast lake.
"Just great," TK grumbled.
TK began to walk onto the dock by the lake. He felt like getting into one of the canoes and rowing off, but he knew he had to be back later. So far, volunteering here at the campsite hadn't been much fun. It wasn't the enjoyable, nostalgic experience he was hoping for. Between Catherine and Rosa, this had not been a good day.
Luckily, TK saw he wouldn't be complaining alone. He saw Gomamon swimming around, obviously taking a relaxing break.
"Hey, TK! What are you doing out here?"
"Lost. I was looking for Catherine, but I lost her."
"Catherine? I thought I heard Matt say you were done with Catherine."
"I AM done with Catherine! But…Catherine doesn't understand that. I can't believe this, Gomamon. Why me? I've never had this many girl problems before! I mean, between knowing Catherine wanting to be with me, having to tell Rosa that Ken doesn't want her, and between Kari…"
"Kari? What about Kari?"
TK quickly backtracked. "Uh…nothing."
"Wow, TK. I've never seen anybody have those kinds of problems with girls before. What are you going to do?"
"I don't know. But it's like this day can't get any worse."
If there was one thing TK should have learned from knowing Davis for so many years, it was that nothing good could ever come out of saying that. Sure enough, something did come along to make the night worse. Something was swimming inside the lake and it moved towards the dock. In the blink of an eye, it rushed the dock and knocked down its foundation.
Before TK could get to safety, he found himself falling into the lake. While TK splashed frantically, something enormous rose up from the water. It was a gigantic sea serpent.
"Ah! A DigiDestined! Just what I was looking to destroy!"
Gomamon rose up from the water. "MetalSeadramon?!"
"Close! You destroyed him, my cousin! And now I, ChaosSeadramon, am here for revenge!"
TK kept splashing. "Couldn't you come back some other night?!"
"NO! Prepare to meet your fate, but maybe I'll play around with you first."
ChaosSeadramon whipped his tail so that TK was flung into the air. Then the serpent slapped him in the back, sending him crashing back down into the ocean. TK felt like his body had been broken by the mighty blows.
Gomamon tried to help. "I'll save you, TK! Marching Fishes!"
Gomamon called his fishy friends to surround ChaosSeadramon. But the gigantic fiend sent them all aside with a mighty splash that created a tremendous wave.
"Gomamon…" TK squeaked. "Get help…"
Gomamon didn't want to leave, but turned around and swam away, knowing TK wouldn't last long against this brutal onslaught.
In the meantime, TK fought his hardest to stay conscious, because losing consciousness in the middle of the lake could cost him his life.
Kazu held up a bow and began aiming an arrow. "Ok, kids, to prepare for tomorrow's archery exhibition, I'm going to demonstrate the proper way to shoot an arrow. And because I'm SUCH an expert at it, my good friend, Kenta, is going to stand still over by that tree and I shoot this arrow and knock that apple off his head."
Inspired by a game Renamon and Gatomon played a few weeks ago, Kazu decided to help the kids out with their upcoming archery contest by playing a game of William Tell. Kenta stood still, with sweat running down his temples, as the apple was shaking on his head.
"Kenta, don't let that apple fall off. I don't want to have to put it back up again."
Kazu aimed carefully. He knew this would take the utmost precision and the slightest distraction would result in Kenta getting skewered.
"HELP!"
"Huh?"
Kazu was thrown completely off when he released the arrow. The arrow went into the air at a 45 degree angle into the tree leaves. A beehive fell out of the tree and landed beside Kenta. The bees angrily came out and started chasing him.
"AAH! KAZU!!"
"Uh…be right back. Kenta, watch the kids."
As Kenta hysterically ran around in circles while Kazu ran to the source of that distress call. He saw Gomamon waiting for him in one of the shrubs.
"What's up, Gomamon?"
"TK needs help! A Digimon's attacking him by the lake!"
Kazu was caught by surprise. "We'll be right there!" He ran out of the bush to retrieve his friend. "Kenta! Quit playing around! We've got a problem!"
Kenta was still running away from the angered bees. "Bigger than THIS?"
"Oh yeah!"
TK was about to lose consciousness. ChaosSeadramon was tossing him around like a ragdoll. Once again, the fiendish serpent launched TK into the air with his tail. As TK was in mid-air, ChaosSeadramon batted him down once more. TK felt a big tidal wave and suddenly found himself deep underwater. He didn't have the strength to pull himself up. He was drowning.
Unable to pull himself out, TK was about to pass out, but surprisingly, the attacks had stopped. He was starting to think that ChaosSeadramon had gotten cocky, but TK was determined to prove to this evil one that disposing of him wouldn't be so easy. With all of his strength, TK started swimming forward. He saw the shore a few feet away. With every ounce of adrenaline, TK swam to shore. He pulled himself out and coughed furiously. Then he turned around and saw why ChaosSeadramon had stopped attacking. Somebody had come to his rescue. It was MarineAngemon, who was flying around ChaosSeadramon.
"Stand still!" ChaosSeadramon shouted. "I can't whack you if you keep flying around like that! HEY!"
ChaosSeadramon had been hit with a blast. It came from a few feet away, by the shattered dock. The blast came from Kazu and Guardromon.
"Give him another one, Guardromon!"
"Guardian Barrage!"
Kenta held out his Digivice. "ChaosSeadramon, Mega level! The corrupted form of MetalSeadramon! But his River of Power attack hits just as hard as his counterpart!"
Guardromon shot another missile at ChaosSeadramon, which only looked to only be annoying him. ChaosSeadramon growled and got ready to attack.
"River of Power!"
Just like his old counterpart, MetalSeadramon, ChaosSeadramon fired a powerful ray at his opposition. Kazu managed to dive out of the way, but Guardromon was nailed in the chest and sent flying back until his back slammed onto a tree. ChaosSeadramon followed up by slapping MarineAngemon down with his tail.
Kenta gasped. "MarineAngemon!"
"Is that it?" ChaosSeadramon mocked. "That all you got?"
"Harpoon Torpedo!"
ChaosSeadramon sighed as he got hit from the side. "Now what?!"
TK looked over to see that Joe had arrived and was riding atop Ikkakumon, having Digivolved to his champion form. Ikkakumon stopped by the shore and dropped Joe off and resumed his attack.
"Come on! Can't one of you at least hit me HARD?! River of Power!"
ChaosSeadramon attacked again. Ikkakumon managed to avoid the shot and kept charging forward. He tried to tackle the serpent, but ChaosSeadramon didn't budge. Like his Dark Master cousin, he had metallic coating.
"Kazu, Kenta, go check on TK!" Joe shouted. "I'll take care of this guy!"
Kazu and Kenta rushed to TK's aid while Joe held out his Digivice. He knew it would take more than Ikkakumon to take this evil Digimon down.
**Ikkakumon…Digivolve to…Zudomon!**
Having reached the ultimate level, the large warrior turtle could more than hold his own. Zudomon swam towards ChaosSeadramon and got ready to attack with his hammer, which had beaten other Megas in the past.
"Vulcan's…"
Just as Zudomon reached up to strike, ChaosSeadramon extended his tail and wrapped it around Zudomon's wrists. Zudomon found himself being tossed around in circles. ChaosSeadramon threw him over to the shore. Things weren't going well at all. TK knew he had to do something. He tried to get up…but he couldn't.
He ended up falling over and passing out.
Joe watched as Zudomon got tossed towards the shore. He had never seen the ultimate-level Digimon get thrown like that before. But it would take more than that to take Zudomon out. He got right back up and jumped back into the water. But it was just then that Joe's cell phone rang.
Joe picked it up, thinking it may have been Izzy. "Hello?"
"Joe…bringing your cell phone to a campsite? That isn't exactly my idea of roughing it."
Joe was in shock. "Gennai?!"
"Better hold this phone up, Joe. I've got just what Zudomon needs! A gift from Baihumon!"
Joe whistled out to his partner and held up the phone. "Zudomon, heads up!"
Zudomon knew what was coming. "No way!" He pointed to MarineAngemon, who was on the shore with Kenta. "I am not turning into THAT!"
ChaosSeadramon took aim. "River of Power!"
The attack narrowly missed Zudomon and hit the water in front of him. But the force of the blast sent a tidal wave splashing over him. Zudomon tried to shrug it off and continue on, but Joe was persistent in holding up his phone.
"Do it, Gennai!"
A blue light came out from Joe's cell phone. While Joe didn't know how SHRINKING Zudomon would help, it didn't take long for him to get the shock of his life.
**Zudomon…Mega Digivolve to…Preciomon!**
Zudomon hadn't changed into a smaller Mega. Instead, he grew into a large white sea dragon, much like the Lochness monster. Zudomon had reached the Mega level and it was far different than what Izzy had projected. Izzy's calculations looked to be way off, because this was no MarineAngemon.
"I am Preciomon, the guardian of the seas! My Water Tail Blaster attack cleanses the seas of all evil!"
ChaosSeadramon and Preciomon were evenly matched in terms of size and both looked set to go head-to-head. ChaosSeadramon went first.
"Same sardine, different can! I'll still blow you out of the water! River of Power!"
"Water Tail Blaster!"
Both Digimon attacked at the same time. Their attacks both collided and, initially, they appeared to be of even strength. But soon, Preciomon's attack began overpowering the River of Power. Before long, the attack nailed ChaosSeadramon right in the mouth. Just as WarGreymon had done to MetalSeadramon, the force of Preciomon's attack split ChaosSeadramon's mouth wide-open. That was all it took to dispose of the fiendish ChaosSeadramon. The sea serpent collapsed onto the water before fading away in a burst of pixels.
Joe had seen his partner deliver some crushing blows before, but never anything like that. However Gennai did it, he made Joe's partner extremely powerful. So powerful that he was able to make very short work of ChaosSeadramon. It was a sight to behold.
But then he realized he had more imperative matters to attend to. He ran over to TK, who was being tended to by Kazu and Kenta. He was unconscious. Having studied for so long for his PhD, Joe knew how to handle such a situation. First, he lifted TK's arm, which was limp. Then he checked for a pulse.
Joe realized the situation was bad. "Call a doctor!"
Next Week: TK's sent to the hospital after the brutal attack from ChaosSeadramon. After learning of that attack, Tai and Matt are more determined than ever to get some answers. What happens when they meet Yamaki for the first time? As if the punishment he received at the Delta Gamma house wasn't bad enough, there are more repercussions in store for Davis. What happens when KARI finds out what happened? And is Takato ready to sketch the details? And how long can Impmon continue instigating fights between Renamon and Gatomon before he gets caught? He may get his comeuppance sooner than later. And the villains receive two surprises: one that will help their cause greatly…and one that'll rock them to their very foundation. It'll be something they never expect! See all this and more on the next Digimon: The College Years!
