Author's Note:
I'd like to point out that this fanfic is also posted on an Ezboard I go
to. It uses ezcodes, so i have codes like [i] [/i] built into my stories
from here on. They don't work here, so I'll just point out, whenever u see
the [i] [/i] that means it's Lee's thoughts. The fic only shows what Lee is
thinking so that's always Lee in his thoughts. Just thought I'd point that
out.
Previously: James and Lee got into another fight and Lee ended up following James across town, seeing what he's up too. Apparently, James has been getting sexually harassed by Father Flannigan, the priest, which is what was causing him to lash out at Lee. Lee revealed to James that he had been harassed in the same way when he was younger, and the two began to understand each other. But that was short-lived, since Desiree and her chosen Tom interrupted the moment! Desiree turned James into her permanent slave and he stabbed Lee with a knife! Allison was enraged and kicked James directly in the nuts, and Octopimon evolved into her ultimate form UltraOctopimon, defeating Tom! Ace and Dragonmon are going as fast as they can to take Lee to a hospital, but Desiree has other plans...

"Laptop?", asked Desiree, looking at the shining, silver box she held in both of her palms.
{YES?}
"Access Yamato Server."
{ACCESSING} {... ... ...} {YAMATO SERVER ACCESSED}
{CURRENT RESIDENTS ARE: -Tachikawa, Mimi - Kamiya, Tai - Inoue, Yolei - Kamiya, Kari
Desiree blinked and read the screen again. "That's all the residents left?!"
{YES.}
"Wow. I've really been sucking the Servers dry... well, give me Yolei, I suppose."
{DESIREE. YOU DO REALIZE THAT BY TAKING THE SERVERS' WARRIORS, YOU ARE INDEED CONDEMNING THEM TO THE SHAD--}
"You aren't told to protest. Get me Yolei."
{YES. DESIREE...}
------------------------------ Skies:
Dragonmon flew at top speed through the air, heading towards the city of Tamur, which was still a few miles ahead. the great dragon flew on, unparalleled by the calm wind conditions. Ace sat on top of his head, encouraging him to go as fast as he could. Lee lay on his back, on Dragonmon's back. Allison covered the open wound with his shirt. Octopimon and Kokuwamon sat on either side of Lee, watching him for any signs of movement.
"Damnit, Ace! Can't Dragonmon go any faster?!", shouted Allison.
"If he could, he would! Hey, that rhymed...", replied Ace from his vantage point. Allison groaned and went back to watching Lee.
"Is Lee going to be alright?", asked Kokuwamon, with deep concern.
"I'm not sure...", said Allison. "I'm just not sure..."
Suddenly, a red beam of energy flew past Dragonmon, almost knocking him off course! Everyone turned to see what it came from.
"Is it Devidramon?", asked Octopimon.
"I don't think so... it's a Chosen.", said Allison with some annoyance. She pulled out her D-Volver and directed it at the Chosen.

"Tempest Wing!", bellowed the bird-like Digimon that Yolei was riding on. Halsemon launched a few more red blasts at Dragonmon! They all missed, thankfully, but Halsemon was not about to give up.
"Ahh! This is bad! Really bad!", screamed Allison. "Ace, get Dragonmon to take them out!"
"Right! Dragonmon, get ready to--", began Ace, but Dragonmon cut him off.
"I can't fight while I have passengers! You'll all fall!", he shouted. Ace grumbled and realized Dragonmon was right, he looked at Allison.
"Wouldn't TecKuwagamon be able to handle him!?", shouted Ace. Kokuwamon shook his head.
"I can't exactly Digivolve while Lee is unconscious!", replied Kokuwamon.
"I would, but I can't fly...", added Octopimon. Allison groaned and cursed to herself.
"Better keep up on the evasive buddy...", said Ace to Dragonmon. "Allison! Tell us which way to avoid!"
"Right!", she replied. Halsemon launched another Tempest Wing at them. Dragonmon dodged to the right.
"Thanks Allison! Keep that up!", shouted Ace.
"Uh, I was just agreeing with him when I said right...", muttered Allison.
"Helpful, nonetheless.", said Octopimon. Allison nodded and moved her bangs out of her eyes so she could see.
"Right again!"
Dragonmon dodged again to the right. Kokuwamon leapt onto Dragonmon's tail.
"Mini-Electro Shocker!", shouted Kokuwamon. He launched multiple electric shocks at Halsemon, who avoided easily. But it was buying them some time...
"Go Kokuwamon!", cheered Allison. "Uh-oh. UP!"
Dragonmon increased his altitude as another blast whizzed by underneath him. Ace collapsed forward onto Dragonmon's skull.
"That was too close.", he groaned. Dragonmon opened his mouth. "I'm taking a risk!"
"Everybody! Hold on tight!", commanded Dragonmon. Everyone grabbed onto him as ordered. Octopimon made sure she held Lee on. Dragonmon made a complete stop in mid-air, and Halsemon flew right under him. Yolei adjusted her glasses and looked up at them.
"What the he--"
"DRAGON INFERNO!!!", he bellowed, smashing Halsemon dead-on with his potent fire attack! The bird fell out of the sky and crashed into the trees below. Dragonmon grinned and kept on flying.
"Are you crazy?!", shouted Allison.
"Yup!", replied Ace. "It worked, didn't it?"
"I suppose... come on. Let's get to the hospital...", said Allison. She ran her fingers through Lee's hair. "Just hang on a little longer Lee... a little longer..."
------------------------------- Back in the park:
Devidramon roared out and glared at Arik and Earnest with his four red eyes. He leapt at them, arms outstretched.
"Rrrgh!", grunted Leila, leaping at him, she drew her guns from their holsters and fired directly at Devidramon's face. He grinned and swatted the bullets aside with his left claw and then brought his right down on Leila, drawing blood from her and knocking her flat onto the ground.
"Racermon! Go help her!", shouted Arik. Racermon nodded and sped at Devidramon.
"Please...", sighed Devidramon. He stomped his foot onto the ground, knocking Racermon away. Arik slapped his forehead. Desiree put her hands on her hips and scoffed.
"That's enough for today, Devidramon. Grab Jamie-boy and let's get the hell out of here.", commanded Desiree. Devidramon obediently listened. He scooped up James and his Digi-egg, and Desiree leapt onto him. She looked back at Earnest who was tending to Leila's wounds.
"Earnest. Keep your little Guardian away from mine. Or there's going to be hell to pay.", she warned him, before Devidramon flew off. Earnest scratched his head.
"What the... what does she mean by that...?", asked Earnest, puzzled. Arik ran over to him, holding Bouncemon.
"I don't know, but we can worry about it after we get out of here. Before the authorities come! Last thing I need is some big black guy frisking me.", said Arik.
"Err... of course.", said Earnest, not used to Arik's modern and upbeat attitude.
------------------------- The rooftop of Desiree's apartment building:
Desiree paced back and forth, with Impmon pacing behind her, mimicking her. James, holding the egg, stared at her watching her go back and forth.
"Hmmm... the fact that you stabbed Lee is interesting. I don't have total control over you, like I do my other slaves...", said Desiree.
"One thing you have, is my loyalty.", replied James. Desiree smiled.
"I know you are telling the truth. Because it wouldn't be wise not too.", she said. "Go. Go back to your mansion or wherever you live and do not report back until that egg hatches. Understand?"
"Of course."
James made a slight bow, and then left through the rooftop stairwell. Desiree stared at the stairwell.
"He's a piece of work...", she admitted.
"I don't like him. A permanent slave... won't that have some effect on his mentality? Like it did to--", began Impmon, but he was cut off by Dezzy.
"Silence, Impmon! I know what I'm doing this time!", she snapped. He grabbed his tail and held it in front of his face, as if he was trying to hide. Desiree flipped open her laptop.
"Give me status on the chosen, Lee Trainer."
{TRAINER, LEE IS CURRENTLY IN TAMUR HOSPITAL BEING TREATED FOR EXCESSIVE BLEEDING}
"Blast it all! They got him there!", she cursed. "That's it... no more going easy on them. Give me Kiriban Server..."
---------------------- Tamur hospital:
In the waiting room, all the walls were painted an ugly white color, and the floor was the same, except ceramic tiles. Ace sat in one of the pink, waiting room chairs, bored out of his mind. Allison refused to sit, pacing around the reading table for over an hour. They had hid the Digimon in a dark alleyway and told them to wait for their return.
"Geez Allison, I think you're actually burning a hole through the floor.", commented Ace. Allison ignored him and continued pacing. "Ay, women. They hate it when you ignore them, but oh no, they can ignore you..."
"I'm not ignoring you, I'm just preoccupied.", said Allison.
"With what? Keeping your pace in rhythm with your heart? Calm down, we got him here in time... all we have to do is wait...", replied Ace. His eyes slowly inched towards the clock. "...for another two hours or so..."
"We should call our parents... help me invent a convincing cover story.", suggested Allison. Ace shrugged.
"My parents don't and won't care, Allison. You go call yours.", said Ace.
"Hmm... why won't your parents care?", asked Allison back.
"Ah, they never care what I do. I'm lucky if I talk to them once a day.", he said. "They're always at parties, casinos... that kinda stuff."
"That must be hard... growing up with no supervision..."
"Used to it. I can do what I want, when I want.", replied Ace.
"Hmm.", sighed Allison, thoughtfully.
----------------------------- In another room, in the hospital. Lee had just had his wound fixed by the doctors. Over 20 stitches were placed in, and a huge bandage was wrapped around his stomach a few times. Lee would have some difficulty walking without getting in pain, but he'd live. That's the important part.
[i]So... what are you supposed to do when you're laying in a hospital all by yourself...?[/i] Lee looked around, and saw another girl laying in a bed on the other side of the room. She was being rather quiet and still until she noticed him looking at her.
"Hey.", she said, leaning up. She had shoulder-length brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing flare blue jeans, white T-shirt that ties on the front at the top (to show cleavage) the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. And a silver necklace. [i]Glad that's not a dark necklace... man, I have a one-track mind...[/i]
"Hey.", he said back. He was awed. She was beautiful. One of those pretty girls you saw in Maxim or another guy's magazine. [i]Hey, hey, hey! You have a girlfriend! Idiot.[/i]
"So, what are you in for?", she asked. "I twisted my ankle. Not too bright, eh?"
"I got stabbed in the stomach.", replied Lee, quickly. He was trying not to look at her, and was hoping he'd get out of here soon.
"Oh my god.", she said, as a sudden dawn of realization came over her. "Are you alright?"
"I'll live. Always do."
"Heh. I like how you pretend you're not hurting when ya are. And I also like how you're trying not to look down my shirt.", she said, with a 'I've- got-you-now' tone.
"Is there something you want?", asked Lee.
"I don't know. I was told I'd find you here. Chosen Lee Trainer.", she said.
[i]What the?! How does she know my name?[/i] Lee looked at her. She grinned. [i]God, even her smile is beautiful! Think unsexy thoughts. Think unsexy thoughts. Ace kissing Arik. Ewwww... ok, that worked.[/i]
Lee looked up at her. "Who told you?"
"Doesn't matter.", she said. She walked over to his bed, obviously she was faking the broken ankle to get into the hospital. She sat on the edge of Lee's bed. "I'm a Chosen, like you. My name is Alexandra McLoed. But if ya like keeping your balls, you'll call me Alex."
"Ok, Alexandra.", taunted Lee. Alex laughed a little.
"But, seriously for a second. I've been having problems with enemy Chosen attacking me, and my partner and myself rarely get out of it ok.", she said and continued, "So we happened to be walking along, when she found your partners in the alley by the hospital. After a meek errr... us beating the three of them up, they told us we were all on the same side and I came up here, to find ya."
Lee stared at her blankly. "And this means what now?"
"I'm joining your Digi-squad thing! Ya just earned yourself more backup!", she said, cheerfully.
"Well, we could really use some of that. We're barely getting out of scrapes ourselves, and there's five of us!", said Lee.
"Six now.", corrected Alex. She brushed back her hair and began to twiddle with it.
"Yup! Welcome to the force!", said Lee. "The force is with you."
Alex smiled again. "Thanks, Lee!" She bent over and gave him a little thank- you kiss. But Lee's eyes widened.
"A-Allison!", stammered Lee, as Allison and Ace walked into the room. Allison's face turned shocked. "It's not what it looks like!"
"Then what the heck is it!?", shouted Allison, already almost in tears. She was obviously threatened by Alex. Alex, in turn, looked Allison over.
"Who's this? Your sister?", asked Alex. Allison gritted her teeth.
"No! She's my girlfriend!", replied Lee. It didn't help.
"WAS his girlfriend!", shouted Allison. "Let's see how you guys do without me!"
With that, Allison turned and promptly walked out the door, shoving Ace out of her way. Lee, distressed, leapt out of bed to go after her, but he winced in pain and fell backwards onto the bed. He groaned and pulled the pillow over his head. There was a long period of silence
"Damn, Lee! How many chicks do you have to get it on with in a week?", asked Ace, breaking the silence. Lee threw the pillow at him.
"So, that was your girlfriend? Uh-oh. You could've said something...", said Alex.
"Ah, whatever. Nothing good ever happens to me anyway, so that was bound to happen too.", moaned Lee.
"I can think of one good thing that happened to you today...", whispered Alex into Lee's ear. Lee looked over at her, but then Ace raised an eyebrow. Lee looked away and attempted to stand again.
"Think you actually can stand?", asked Ace, walking over to Lee.
"I think so... last time I must have just jumped up too fast...", said Lee. He almost fell forward, but Ace caught him.
"You goof.", said Ace.
"Well, that's twice you've saved me today.", said Lee, "Thanks alot."
"Friends forever."
"Yup."
"Would you two shut up and listen.", said Alex, interrupting them. Ace let go of Lee and he managed to stand up by himself.
"Listen to what?", asked Lee.
"That.", replied Alex. Lee was about to open his mouth again, but then he heard it, really faint, but the noise of two people arguing.
"This is a hospital, there are lots of noises here.", said Ace.
"Yes... but one directly in that air vent?", asked Alex. She walked over to the wall and stop on top of a table. She carefully pulled the vent cover off the wall, and two boys fell out of it! Lee and Ace almost jumped.
"Why are chicks always right?", asked Ace.
"No idea.", replied Lee.
The two boys, slightly ruffled , stood up. The taller one, had short red hair and wore a grey t-shirt and a pair of jeans. The other boy had really messy brown hair and a pair of goggles on his forehead. He wore a vest that had flames on it and a pair of green shorts. But the most interesting thing was that they both had dark necklaces on.
"Damnit, Davis! I told you not to follow me!", shouted the red-haired one.
"Well, what else was I supposed to do, Izzy?! Sit in the lobby?!", asked the brown haired one with goggles.
"Yes! That's what I TOLD you to do! Imbecile.", replied Izzy.
[i]These two get along great...[/i] Lee sighed. He looked at Ace, who shrugged.
"What do you two want?", asked Lee. Izzy and Davis stopped arguing and turned their attention to him. Izzy was the first to speak.
"Yes. We've been sent to finish the job of assassinating Lee Trainer. He has been the biggest threat in Desiree's ambitions.", said Izzy.
"You're not assassinating anyone!", shouted Ace. Davis stuck his tongue out at him.
"What exactly are Desiree's ambitions? Or is she just doing this for the fun of it?", asked Lee. Izzy didn't answer him.
"Now, Lee Trainer, prepare to crushed!", shouted Izzy.
"And killed too!", added in Davis. Izzy fell over anime style. Two small Digimon hopped out of the vent and landed in front of Alex, who backed away. They headed over to Izzy and Davis. One was a small red beetle and the second was a blue dragon-type Digimon with a tail.
"Oh boy... they got to have partners, don't they?", asked Ace.
"Since when do they not?", replied Lee. He went to fetch his D-Volver but Alex already had and was scanning their data.

Though his contributions to DTE were trivial when compared to vital members such as Carrie, Izzy and Amy, there is no 'I' in team, and he helped them reach victory.
{END PROFILE}
Alex pocketed her D-Volver and looked at Lee and Ace.
"You guys get first crack at them.", she said.
"And who are you to order us around?", asked Ace. Alex glared at him. "Uhm, actually, come on Lee... let's attack!"
Lee hesitated for a moment, as if he was busy thinking. "Didn't you hear the analysis? Izzy's laptop must have information on Desiree. We could use any leads and help right now... especially with Allison... gone..."
Ace and Alex were about to reply, but Izzy and Davis declared their attack and sent Tentomon and Veemon at them!
"Whoa! No fair!", shouted Ace, diving behind the bed, narrowly avoiding a V- Headbutt. Tentomon launched electricity at Lee, who jumped backwards.
"Aiigh!", grunted Lee. He clutched his stomach and looked up to see Tentomon flying in front of him, electricity spurting between his antennae.
"What's wrong with your stomach?", asked Tentomon.
"One of your idiot companions stabbed me.", replied Lee.
"Well... let's see if we can't increase that pain. Tentomon, attack!", shouted Izzy.
"But Izzy... he's wounded!", protested Tentomon.
"Yeah, itsh not fair!", added Veemon, who had just knocked Ace onto the floor and was converging on Lee as well.
"Desiree commanded us to kill him! So kill him!", shouted Izzy.
"Yes Izzy.", both Digimon replied in unison.
"Who's Desiree?", asked Davis. Izzy turned and poked him in the eye. Tentomon and Veemon charged up to attack Lee.
"Lee!", shouted a voice. Kokuwamon smashed his way through the window and flew at them! He tackled Tentomon and they bounced off the wall, tumbling onto the floor.
"Vee-Head Bu-oof!", grunted Veemon as Alex grabbed him by the tail and hurled him out the window! Davis ran over to the window and held out his D- 3.
"Veemon!!! Digivolve!", shouted Davis. Ace ran over to another window and saw DemiTyrannomon still standing in the alley.
"What are you? Lazy?", screamed Ace. "You should care that we're being attacked!"
"Lazy people care. We just don't do anything about it.", replied DemiTyrannomon.
"Just Digivolve!", shouted Ace, frustrated.
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"DemiTyrannomon...Digivolve to..."
DemiTyrannomon became encased in a ball of fire, which almost doubled it's size. Two wings and a tail erupted from it, until two claws and a head slashed their way out! He reared back and roared.
"DRAGONMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
Dragonmon rounded the corner and tackled a newly Digivolved ExVeemon onto the street. ExVeemon grinned and kicked Dragonmon upwards into the air.
"Vee-Lazer!", shouted ExVeemon. He folded his arms over the X logo on his chest and when he released them, a lazer flew at Dragonmon. Dragonmon smacked it away with his tail and flew around in a circle. ExVeemon leapt up and bashed him across the face and he flew into a telephone booth, shattering glass everywhere.
"Yeah! Give him the ol' one-two!", encouraged Davis.
"Don't give in! You bigger than that wussy!", shouted Ace in response. Davis and he looked at each other, as if challenging each other, and then turned their attention back to the battle.
Kokuwamon and Tentomon flew all over the hospital room, blasting electricity at each other. A nurse stepped in to see what the commotion was about and screamed, running away. Kokuwamon bashed Tentomon into a cabinet, which knocked in over in front of the door, sealing it off.
Alex took Lee over behind the bed, to shield them from any electricity. Lee was clutching his chest and breathing heavily. He looked up at the combatants.
"Kokuwamon! Take the battle out of here!", he said.
"Of course!", said Kokuwamon. He flew out the window and into the sky. Tentomon eagerly followed him.
"Super Shocker!"
Izzy looked out the window at his Digimon fighting Kokuwamon. Lee and Alex stood up.
"You're supposed to be a hero.", said Lee.
"That was the past.", replied Izzy. "Davis and I have seen the light. The true light that Desiree gave to us! And that she is planning to give to all your friends!"
"What?!", shouted Lee, surprised. "The only light you see is darkness! And my friends would never succumb to it!"
"I did.", said Izzy.
[i]Are the dark necklaces really that powerful? Could they control any mind? What about the dark flower Desiree put into James... will he be evil forever? Ah... gotta love questions... without answers...[/i] Thought Lee. [i]Speaking of answers, I want that laptop...[/i]
"Yo, Izz-meister!", said Davis. Izzy walked over to the window, where he was standing.
"What? ...and don't call me that.", replied Izzy. Davis pointed at Tentomon and Kokuwamon. Tentomon appeared to be on the losing side of the battle.
"Any assistance would be appreciated!", shouted Tentomon, before getting smashed by Kokuwamon.
"Aww... don't worry Tentomon! Here it is!", shouted Izzy, whipping out his D-3. Tentomon began to shine.
"Tentomon Digivolve to... Kabuterimon!!!", shouted Tentomon, evolving into a much bigger beetle with a huge horn, four wings and a blue body. Kabuterimon looked down at Kokuwamon and kicked him up into the air!
"Electro Shocker!!!", he bellowed, Kokuwamon was dazed by the huge electric blast. Lee fumbled for his D-Volver.
"Agh! Where is it?!", asked Lee.
"Here, use mine!", said Alex, handing him hers.
"But I can't use--"
"Use it!", she commanded. He did as told and held the D-Volver into the air.
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Kokuwamon!!! Digivolve to..."
Kokuwamon grew about three times his normal size. He grew huge metallic pincers, and his body became shaped like a huge four-legged bug. Two wings that resembled jet wings bursted out of his back and his eyes glew red. He was covered with ancient inscriptions of Digi-code.
"...TECKUWAGAMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Kabuterimon! Look out! He evolved into a huge flying rhino!", shouted Davis. Izzy gave him an odd look.
"He's a mechanical beetle called TecKuwagamon, you-- a rhino!? Where do you even get that!?", asked Izzy, completely confounded.
"It's a gift?", asked Davis.
TecKuwagamon clamped his claw down on Kabuterimon's throat, choking him. But Kabuterimon kicked TecKuwagamon in the stomach repeatedly forcing him off of him. He did a whirl and smashed TecKuwagamon with all four of his arms, knocking TecKuwagamon down onto the roof of a large, beige building. TecKuwagamon smacked himself in the head before standing up, only to get pounced on by Kabuterimon!
Lee looked at Alex's D-Volver oddly and handed it back to her.
"How did I use it?", he asked.
"Because. It doesn't matter who's D-Volver you have, all they do is channel the power inside you to evolve your Digimon. ...don't tell me you didn't know that!", explained Alex. Lee blushed. He couldn't even think of anything to say.
"Oh no! Dragonmon!", they heard Ace shout. They walked over to his window and saw ExVeemon was behind Dragonmon, with his arms around his chest, squeezing the life out of the dragon Digimon. Alex gasped and looked in the direction of the bed she had been sleeping in earlier.
"We're in trouble... Mikemon, time to reveal yourself!", shouted Alex. She got the attention of Lee and Ace directed towards the bed as well. A cat- like Digimon, much like Gatomon but Calico. Her stomach and front paws are white as is most of her face (below her eyes).
[i]I knew Alex had a partner around here somewhere![/i] Thought Lee. Mikemon wasted no time a rushed past Davis, leaping out the window he was standing at.
"Hey hey hey! Watch the jacket!", whined Davis. Izzy slapped his forehead. It was then Lee eyed the pineapple laptop Izzy had tucked under his arm. Ace caught on and slowly moved towards Izzy.
"Aren't you going to Digivolve Mikemon before she attacks?", asked Lee.
"Why? She's already at the champion level.", said Alex.
"She is? Awfully small..."
"It's not the size that counts. It's how you use it.", replied Alex. Lee chuckled at her dirty joke.
Mikemon leapt down and landed directly on ExVeemon's back.
"Hey, what gives?", he asked. Mikemon extended her claws from her paws. (Hey, that rhymes)
"Yo, handsome. You need a makeover. Feline Fury!!!", shouted Mikemon, slashing ExVeemon repeatedly in the face. Due to blood loss, he simply dropped Dragonmon and collapsed, de-Digivolving into Veemon. Dragonmon de- digivolved to DemiTyrannomon as well.
"How can a midget like that beat ExVeemon!?", shouted Izzy. "Oh well. Kabuterimon will pick up the slack."
"I wouldn't be too sure about that.", muttered Davis, meekly. They looked up to see TecKuwagamon use Molten Flare on Kabuterimon, who fell backwards off the building. He managed to catch himself in mid-air, but looked weakened.
"Izzy! I suggest a retreat!", shouted Kabuterimon.
"Right. Come get us.", replied Izzy. But before he could say anything else, Ace grabbed his laptop and leapt backwards away from Izzy. Izzy cursed and glared at Ace.
"I'll get that back when we crush you!", said Izzy, as he and Davis hopped on Kabuterimon.
"Hasta la baby, vista!", shouted Davis. Then he began to silently recount what he just said. Kabuterimon swooped down and picked up Veemon, then they flew away. TecKuwagamon flew over to the window.
"Guys, get on! We can catch them!", suggested TecKuwagamon.
"No. We've got more important things to do...", said Lee. "But get us out of here."
[i]More important things... like taking this laptop to Kevin so he can hack it for me...[/i]
Ace, Alex and Lee got onto TecKuwagamon, who flew down and got DemiTyrannomon and Mikemon, then they flew back in the direction of their town.
"You were pretty cool back there, Alex.", said Lee.
"You too.", she said, happily. Ace rolled his eyes.
"Welcome to the team. I suppose.", said Ace. He shook her hand.
"What, Ace? Ya jealous?", asked Alex. Ace blushed.
"Uh.. what? Me? No! What would I be?"
"WHY would you be. You mean.", corrected Lee.
"Shut up Lee.", said Ace.
---------------------------------- TO BE CONTINUED
Next: Izzy and Davis unite with another DTE member to form the most powerful trio of Chosen we've encountered yet! And they have a hidden power...
Previously: James and Lee got into another fight and Lee ended up following James across town, seeing what he's up too. Apparently, James has been getting sexually harassed by Father Flannigan, the priest, which is what was causing him to lash out at Lee. Lee revealed to James that he had been harassed in the same way when he was younger, and the two began to understand each other. But that was short-lived, since Desiree and her chosen Tom interrupted the moment! Desiree turned James into her permanent slave and he stabbed Lee with a knife! Allison was enraged and kicked James directly in the nuts, and Octopimon evolved into her ultimate form UltraOctopimon, defeating Tom! Ace and Dragonmon are going as fast as they can to take Lee to a hospital, but Desiree has other plans...

{YES?}
"Access Yamato Server."

"Wow. I've really been sucking the Servers dry... well, give me Yolei, I suppose."
{DESIREE. YOU DO REALIZE THAT BY TAKING THE SERVERS' WARRIORS, YOU ARE INDEED CONDEMNING THEM TO THE SHAD--}
"You aren't told to protest. Get me Yolei."
{YES. DESIREE...}
------------------------------ Skies:
Dragonmon flew at top speed through the air, heading towards the city of Tamur, which was still a few miles ahead. the great dragon flew on, unparalleled by the calm wind conditions. Ace sat on top of his head, encouraging him to go as fast as he could. Lee lay on his back, on Dragonmon's back. Allison covered the open wound with his shirt. Octopimon and Kokuwamon sat on either side of Lee, watching him for any signs of movement.
"Damnit, Ace! Can't Dragonmon go any faster?!", shouted Allison.
"If he could, he would! Hey, that rhymed...", replied Ace from his vantage point. Allison groaned and went back to watching Lee.
"Is Lee going to be alright?", asked Kokuwamon, with deep concern.
"I'm not sure...", said Allison. "I'm just not sure..."
Suddenly, a red beam of energy flew past Dragonmon, almost knocking him off course! Everyone turned to see what it came from.
"Is it Devidramon?", asked Octopimon.
"I don't think so... it's a Chosen.", said Allison with some annoyance. She pulled out her D-Volver and directed it at the Chosen.

"Tempest Wing!", bellowed the bird-like Digimon that Yolei was riding on. Halsemon launched a few more red blasts at Dragonmon! They all missed, thankfully, but Halsemon was not about to give up.
"Ahh! This is bad! Really bad!", screamed Allison. "Ace, get Dragonmon to take them out!"
"Right! Dragonmon, get ready to--", began Ace, but Dragonmon cut him off.
"I can't fight while I have passengers! You'll all fall!", he shouted. Ace grumbled and realized Dragonmon was right, he looked at Allison.
"Wouldn't TecKuwagamon be able to handle him!?", shouted Ace. Kokuwamon shook his head.
"I can't exactly Digivolve while Lee is unconscious!", replied Kokuwamon.
"I would, but I can't fly...", added Octopimon. Allison groaned and cursed to herself.
"Better keep up on the evasive buddy...", said Ace to Dragonmon. "Allison! Tell us which way to avoid!"
"Right!", she replied. Halsemon launched another Tempest Wing at them. Dragonmon dodged to the right.
"Thanks Allison! Keep that up!", shouted Ace.
"Uh, I was just agreeing with him when I said right...", muttered Allison.
"Helpful, nonetheless.", said Octopimon. Allison nodded and moved her bangs out of her eyes so she could see.
"Right again!"
Dragonmon dodged again to the right. Kokuwamon leapt onto Dragonmon's tail.
"Mini-Electro Shocker!", shouted Kokuwamon. He launched multiple electric shocks at Halsemon, who avoided easily. But it was buying them some time...
"Go Kokuwamon!", cheered Allison. "Uh-oh. UP!"
Dragonmon increased his altitude as another blast whizzed by underneath him. Ace collapsed forward onto Dragonmon's skull.
"That was too close.", he groaned. Dragonmon opened his mouth. "I'm taking a risk!"
"Everybody! Hold on tight!", commanded Dragonmon. Everyone grabbed onto him as ordered. Octopimon made sure she held Lee on. Dragonmon made a complete stop in mid-air, and Halsemon flew right under him. Yolei adjusted her glasses and looked up at them.
"What the he--"
"DRAGON INFERNO!!!", he bellowed, smashing Halsemon dead-on with his potent fire attack! The bird fell out of the sky and crashed into the trees below. Dragonmon grinned and kept on flying.
"Are you crazy?!", shouted Allison.
"Yup!", replied Ace. "It worked, didn't it?"
"I suppose... come on. Let's get to the hospital...", said Allison. She ran her fingers through Lee's hair. "Just hang on a little longer Lee... a little longer..."
------------------------------- Back in the park:
Devidramon roared out and glared at Arik and Earnest with his four red eyes. He leapt at them, arms outstretched.
"Rrrgh!", grunted Leila, leaping at him, she drew her guns from their holsters and fired directly at Devidramon's face. He grinned and swatted the bullets aside with his left claw and then brought his right down on Leila, drawing blood from her and knocking her flat onto the ground.
"Racermon! Go help her!", shouted Arik. Racermon nodded and sped at Devidramon.
"Please...", sighed Devidramon. He stomped his foot onto the ground, knocking Racermon away. Arik slapped his forehead. Desiree put her hands on her hips and scoffed.
"That's enough for today, Devidramon. Grab Jamie-boy and let's get the hell out of here.", commanded Desiree. Devidramon obediently listened. He scooped up James and his Digi-egg, and Desiree leapt onto him. She looked back at Earnest who was tending to Leila's wounds.
"Earnest. Keep your little Guardian away from mine. Or there's going to be hell to pay.", she warned him, before Devidramon flew off. Earnest scratched his head.
"What the... what does she mean by that...?", asked Earnest, puzzled. Arik ran over to him, holding Bouncemon.
"I don't know, but we can worry about it after we get out of here. Before the authorities come! Last thing I need is some big black guy frisking me.", said Arik.
"Err... of course.", said Earnest, not used to Arik's modern and upbeat attitude.
------------------------- The rooftop of Desiree's apartment building:
Desiree paced back and forth, with Impmon pacing behind her, mimicking her. James, holding the egg, stared at her watching her go back and forth.
"Hmmm... the fact that you stabbed Lee is interesting. I don't have total control over you, like I do my other slaves...", said Desiree.
"One thing you have, is my loyalty.", replied James. Desiree smiled.
"I know you are telling the truth. Because it wouldn't be wise not too.", she said. "Go. Go back to your mansion or wherever you live and do not report back until that egg hatches. Understand?"
"Of course."
James made a slight bow, and then left through the rooftop stairwell. Desiree stared at the stairwell.
"He's a piece of work...", she admitted.
"I don't like him. A permanent slave... won't that have some effect on his mentality? Like it did to--", began Impmon, but he was cut off by Dezzy.
"Silence, Impmon! I know what I'm doing this time!", she snapped. He grabbed his tail and held it in front of his face, as if he was trying to hide. Desiree flipped open her laptop.
"Give me status on the chosen, Lee Trainer."
{TRAINER, LEE IS CURRENTLY IN TAMUR HOSPITAL BEING TREATED FOR EXCESSIVE BLEEDING}
"Blast it all! They got him there!", she cursed. "That's it... no more going easy on them. Give me Kiriban Server..."
---------------------- Tamur hospital:
In the waiting room, all the walls were painted an ugly white color, and the floor was the same, except ceramic tiles. Ace sat in one of the pink, waiting room chairs, bored out of his mind. Allison refused to sit, pacing around the reading table for over an hour. They had hid the Digimon in a dark alleyway and told them to wait for their return.
"Geez Allison, I think you're actually burning a hole through the floor.", commented Ace. Allison ignored him and continued pacing. "Ay, women. They hate it when you ignore them, but oh no, they can ignore you..."
"I'm not ignoring you, I'm just preoccupied.", said Allison.
"With what? Keeping your pace in rhythm with your heart? Calm down, we got him here in time... all we have to do is wait...", replied Ace. His eyes slowly inched towards the clock. "...for another two hours or so..."
"We should call our parents... help me invent a convincing cover story.", suggested Allison. Ace shrugged.
"My parents don't and won't care, Allison. You go call yours.", said Ace.
"Hmm... why won't your parents care?", asked Allison back.
"Ah, they never care what I do. I'm lucky if I talk to them once a day.", he said. "They're always at parties, casinos... that kinda stuff."
"That must be hard... growing up with no supervision..."
"Used to it. I can do what I want, when I want.", replied Ace.
"Hmm.", sighed Allison, thoughtfully.
----------------------------- In another room, in the hospital. Lee had just had his wound fixed by the doctors. Over 20 stitches were placed in, and a huge bandage was wrapped around his stomach a few times. Lee would have some difficulty walking without getting in pain, but he'd live. That's the important part.
[i]So... what are you supposed to do when you're laying in a hospital all by yourself...?[/i] Lee looked around, and saw another girl laying in a bed on the other side of the room. She was being rather quiet and still until she noticed him looking at her.
"Hey.", she said, leaning up. She had shoulder-length brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing flare blue jeans, white T-shirt that ties on the front at the top (to show cleavage) the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. And a silver necklace. [i]Glad that's not a dark necklace... man, I have a one-track mind...[/i]
"Hey.", he said back. He was awed. She was beautiful. One of those pretty girls you saw in Maxim or another guy's magazine. [i]Hey, hey, hey! You have a girlfriend! Idiot.[/i]
"So, what are you in for?", she asked. "I twisted my ankle. Not too bright, eh?"
"I got stabbed in the stomach.", replied Lee, quickly. He was trying not to look at her, and was hoping he'd get out of here soon.
"Oh my god.", she said, as a sudden dawn of realization came over her. "Are you alright?"
"I'll live. Always do."
"Heh. I like how you pretend you're not hurting when ya are. And I also like how you're trying not to look down my shirt.", she said, with a 'I've- got-you-now' tone.
"Is there something you want?", asked Lee.
"I don't know. I was told I'd find you here. Chosen Lee Trainer.", she said.
[i]What the?! How does she know my name?[/i] Lee looked at her. She grinned. [i]God, even her smile is beautiful! Think unsexy thoughts. Think unsexy thoughts. Ace kissing Arik. Ewwww... ok, that worked.[/i]
Lee looked up at her. "Who told you?"
"Doesn't matter.", she said. She walked over to his bed, obviously she was faking the broken ankle to get into the hospital. She sat on the edge of Lee's bed. "I'm a Chosen, like you. My name is Alexandra McLoed. But if ya like keeping your balls, you'll call me Alex."
"Ok, Alexandra.", taunted Lee. Alex laughed a little.
"But, seriously for a second. I've been having problems with enemy Chosen attacking me, and my partner and myself rarely get out of it ok.", she said and continued, "So we happened to be walking along, when she found your partners in the alley by the hospital. After a meek errr... us beating the three of them up, they told us we were all on the same side and I came up here, to find ya."
Lee stared at her blankly. "And this means what now?"
"I'm joining your Digi-squad thing! Ya just earned yourself more backup!", she said, cheerfully.
"Well, we could really use some of that. We're barely getting out of scrapes ourselves, and there's five of us!", said Lee.
"Six now.", corrected Alex. She brushed back her hair and began to twiddle with it.
"Yup! Welcome to the force!", said Lee. "The force is with you."
Alex smiled again. "Thanks, Lee!" She bent over and gave him a little thank- you kiss. But Lee's eyes widened.
"A-Allison!", stammered Lee, as Allison and Ace walked into the room. Allison's face turned shocked. "It's not what it looks like!"
"Then what the heck is it!?", shouted Allison, already almost in tears. She was obviously threatened by Alex. Alex, in turn, looked Allison over.
"Who's this? Your sister?", asked Alex. Allison gritted her teeth.
"No! She's my girlfriend!", replied Lee. It didn't help.
"WAS his girlfriend!", shouted Allison. "Let's see how you guys do without me!"
With that, Allison turned and promptly walked out the door, shoving Ace out of her way. Lee, distressed, leapt out of bed to go after her, but he winced in pain and fell backwards onto the bed. He groaned and pulled the pillow over his head. There was a long period of silence
"Damn, Lee! How many chicks do you have to get it on with in a week?", asked Ace, breaking the silence. Lee threw the pillow at him.
"So, that was your girlfriend? Uh-oh. You could've said something...", said Alex.
"Ah, whatever. Nothing good ever happens to me anyway, so that was bound to happen too.", moaned Lee.
"I can think of one good thing that happened to you today...", whispered Alex into Lee's ear. Lee looked over at her, but then Ace raised an eyebrow. Lee looked away and attempted to stand again.
"Think you actually can stand?", asked Ace, walking over to Lee.
"I think so... last time I must have just jumped up too fast...", said Lee. He almost fell forward, but Ace caught him.
"You goof.", said Ace.
"Well, that's twice you've saved me today.", said Lee, "Thanks alot."
"Friends forever."
"Yup."
"Would you two shut up and listen.", said Alex, interrupting them. Ace let go of Lee and he managed to stand up by himself.
"Listen to what?", asked Lee.
"That.", replied Alex. Lee was about to open his mouth again, but then he heard it, really faint, but the noise of two people arguing.
"This is a hospital, there are lots of noises here.", said Ace.
"Yes... but one directly in that air vent?", asked Alex. She walked over to the wall and stop on top of a table. She carefully pulled the vent cover off the wall, and two boys fell out of it! Lee and Ace almost jumped.
"Why are chicks always right?", asked Ace.
"No idea.", replied Lee.
The two boys, slightly ruffled , stood up. The taller one, had short red hair and wore a grey t-shirt and a pair of jeans. The other boy had really messy brown hair and a pair of goggles on his forehead. He wore a vest that had flames on it and a pair of green shorts. But the most interesting thing was that they both had dark necklaces on.
"Damnit, Davis! I told you not to follow me!", shouted the red-haired one.
"Well, what else was I supposed to do, Izzy?! Sit in the lobby?!", asked the brown haired one with goggles.
"Yes! That's what I TOLD you to do! Imbecile.", replied Izzy.
[i]These two get along great...[/i] Lee sighed. He looked at Ace, who shrugged.
"What do you two want?", asked Lee. Izzy and Davis stopped arguing and turned their attention to him. Izzy was the first to speak.
"Yes. We've been sent to finish the job of assassinating Lee Trainer. He has been the biggest threat in Desiree's ambitions.", said Izzy.
"You're not assassinating anyone!", shouted Ace. Davis stuck his tongue out at him.
"What exactly are Desiree's ambitions? Or is she just doing this for the fun of it?", asked Lee. Izzy didn't answer him.
"Now, Lee Trainer, prepare to crushed!", shouted Izzy.
"And killed too!", added in Davis. Izzy fell over anime style. Two small Digimon hopped out of the vent and landed in front of Alex, who backed away. They headed over to Izzy and Davis. One was a small red beetle and the second was a blue dragon-type Digimon with a tail.
"Oh boy... they got to have partners, don't they?", asked Ace.
"Since when do they not?", replied Lee. He went to fetch his D-Volver but Alex already had and was scanning their data.

{END PROFILE}
Alex pocketed her D-Volver and looked at Lee and Ace.
"You guys get first crack at them.", she said.
"And who are you to order us around?", asked Ace. Alex glared at him. "Uhm, actually, come on Lee... let's attack!"
Lee hesitated for a moment, as if he was busy thinking. "Didn't you hear the analysis? Izzy's laptop must have information on Desiree. We could use any leads and help right now... especially with Allison... gone..."
Ace and Alex were about to reply, but Izzy and Davis declared their attack and sent Tentomon and Veemon at them!
"Whoa! No fair!", shouted Ace, diving behind the bed, narrowly avoiding a V- Headbutt. Tentomon launched electricity at Lee, who jumped backwards.
"Aiigh!", grunted Lee. He clutched his stomach and looked up to see Tentomon flying in front of him, electricity spurting between his antennae.
"What's wrong with your stomach?", asked Tentomon.
"One of your idiot companions stabbed me.", replied Lee.
"Well... let's see if we can't increase that pain. Tentomon, attack!", shouted Izzy.
"But Izzy... he's wounded!", protested Tentomon.
"Yeah, itsh not fair!", added Veemon, who had just knocked Ace onto the floor and was converging on Lee as well.
"Desiree commanded us to kill him! So kill him!", shouted Izzy.
"Yes Izzy.", both Digimon replied in unison.
"Who's Desiree?", asked Davis. Izzy turned and poked him in the eye. Tentomon and Veemon charged up to attack Lee.
"Lee!", shouted a voice. Kokuwamon smashed his way through the window and flew at them! He tackled Tentomon and they bounced off the wall, tumbling onto the floor.
"Vee-Head Bu-oof!", grunted Veemon as Alex grabbed him by the tail and hurled him out the window! Davis ran over to the window and held out his D- 3.
"Veemon!!! Digivolve!", shouted Davis. Ace ran over to another window and saw DemiTyrannomon still standing in the alley.
"What are you? Lazy?", screamed Ace. "You should care that we're being attacked!"
"Lazy people care. We just don't do anything about it.", replied DemiTyrannomon.
"Just Digivolve!", shouted Ace, frustrated.
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"DemiTyrannomon...Digivolve to..."
DemiTyrannomon became encased in a ball of fire, which almost doubled it's size. Two wings and a tail erupted from it, until two claws and a head slashed their way out! He reared back and roared.
"DRAGONMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
Dragonmon rounded the corner and tackled a newly Digivolved ExVeemon onto the street. ExVeemon grinned and kicked Dragonmon upwards into the air.
"Vee-Lazer!", shouted ExVeemon. He folded his arms over the X logo on his chest and when he released them, a lazer flew at Dragonmon. Dragonmon smacked it away with his tail and flew around in a circle. ExVeemon leapt up and bashed him across the face and he flew into a telephone booth, shattering glass everywhere.
"Yeah! Give him the ol' one-two!", encouraged Davis.
"Don't give in! You bigger than that wussy!", shouted Ace in response. Davis and he looked at each other, as if challenging each other, and then turned their attention back to the battle.
Kokuwamon and Tentomon flew all over the hospital room, blasting electricity at each other. A nurse stepped in to see what the commotion was about and screamed, running away. Kokuwamon bashed Tentomon into a cabinet, which knocked in over in front of the door, sealing it off.
Alex took Lee over behind the bed, to shield them from any electricity. Lee was clutching his chest and breathing heavily. He looked up at the combatants.
"Kokuwamon! Take the battle out of here!", he said.
"Of course!", said Kokuwamon. He flew out the window and into the sky. Tentomon eagerly followed him.
"Super Shocker!"
Izzy looked out the window at his Digimon fighting Kokuwamon. Lee and Alex stood up.
"You're supposed to be a hero.", said Lee.
"That was the past.", replied Izzy. "Davis and I have seen the light. The true light that Desiree gave to us! And that she is planning to give to all your friends!"
"What?!", shouted Lee, surprised. "The only light you see is darkness! And my friends would never succumb to it!"
"I did.", said Izzy.
[i]Are the dark necklaces really that powerful? Could they control any mind? What about the dark flower Desiree put into James... will he be evil forever? Ah... gotta love questions... without answers...[/i] Thought Lee. [i]Speaking of answers, I want that laptop...[/i]
"Yo, Izz-meister!", said Davis. Izzy walked over to the window, where he was standing.
"What? ...and don't call me that.", replied Izzy. Davis pointed at Tentomon and Kokuwamon. Tentomon appeared to be on the losing side of the battle.
"Any assistance would be appreciated!", shouted Tentomon, before getting smashed by Kokuwamon.
"Aww... don't worry Tentomon! Here it is!", shouted Izzy, whipping out his D-3. Tentomon began to shine.
"Tentomon Digivolve to... Kabuterimon!!!", shouted Tentomon, evolving into a much bigger beetle with a huge horn, four wings and a blue body. Kabuterimon looked down at Kokuwamon and kicked him up into the air!
"Electro Shocker!!!", he bellowed, Kokuwamon was dazed by the huge electric blast. Lee fumbled for his D-Volver.
"Agh! Where is it?!", asked Lee.
"Here, use mine!", said Alex, handing him hers.
"But I can't use--"
"Use it!", she commanded. He did as told and held the D-Volver into the air.
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Kokuwamon!!! Digivolve to..."
Kokuwamon grew about three times his normal size. He grew huge metallic pincers, and his body became shaped like a huge four-legged bug. Two wings that resembled jet wings bursted out of his back and his eyes glew red. He was covered with ancient inscriptions of Digi-code.
"...TECKUWAGAMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Kabuterimon! Look out! He evolved into a huge flying rhino!", shouted Davis. Izzy gave him an odd look.
"He's a mechanical beetle called TecKuwagamon, you-- a rhino!? Where do you even get that!?", asked Izzy, completely confounded.
"It's a gift?", asked Davis.
TecKuwagamon clamped his claw down on Kabuterimon's throat, choking him. But Kabuterimon kicked TecKuwagamon in the stomach repeatedly forcing him off of him. He did a whirl and smashed TecKuwagamon with all four of his arms, knocking TecKuwagamon down onto the roof of a large, beige building. TecKuwagamon smacked himself in the head before standing up, only to get pounced on by Kabuterimon!
Lee looked at Alex's D-Volver oddly and handed it back to her.
"How did I use it?", he asked.
"Because. It doesn't matter who's D-Volver you have, all they do is channel the power inside you to evolve your Digimon. ...don't tell me you didn't know that!", explained Alex. Lee blushed. He couldn't even think of anything to say.
"Oh no! Dragonmon!", they heard Ace shout. They walked over to his window and saw ExVeemon was behind Dragonmon, with his arms around his chest, squeezing the life out of the dragon Digimon. Alex gasped and looked in the direction of the bed she had been sleeping in earlier.
"We're in trouble... Mikemon, time to reveal yourself!", shouted Alex. She got the attention of Lee and Ace directed towards the bed as well. A cat- like Digimon, much like Gatomon but Calico. Her stomach and front paws are white as is most of her face (below her eyes).
[i]I knew Alex had a partner around here somewhere![/i] Thought Lee. Mikemon wasted no time a rushed past Davis, leaping out the window he was standing at.
"Hey hey hey! Watch the jacket!", whined Davis. Izzy slapped his forehead. It was then Lee eyed the pineapple laptop Izzy had tucked under his arm. Ace caught on and slowly moved towards Izzy.
"Aren't you going to Digivolve Mikemon before she attacks?", asked Lee.
"Why? She's already at the champion level.", said Alex.
"She is? Awfully small..."
"It's not the size that counts. It's how you use it.", replied Alex. Lee chuckled at her dirty joke.
Mikemon leapt down and landed directly on ExVeemon's back.
"Hey, what gives?", he asked. Mikemon extended her claws from her paws. (Hey, that rhymes)
"Yo, handsome. You need a makeover. Feline Fury!!!", shouted Mikemon, slashing ExVeemon repeatedly in the face. Due to blood loss, he simply dropped Dragonmon and collapsed, de-Digivolving into Veemon. Dragonmon de- digivolved to DemiTyrannomon as well.
"How can a midget like that beat ExVeemon!?", shouted Izzy. "Oh well. Kabuterimon will pick up the slack."
"I wouldn't be too sure about that.", muttered Davis, meekly. They looked up to see TecKuwagamon use Molten Flare on Kabuterimon, who fell backwards off the building. He managed to catch himself in mid-air, but looked weakened.
"Izzy! I suggest a retreat!", shouted Kabuterimon.
"Right. Come get us.", replied Izzy. But before he could say anything else, Ace grabbed his laptop and leapt backwards away from Izzy. Izzy cursed and glared at Ace.
"I'll get that back when we crush you!", said Izzy, as he and Davis hopped on Kabuterimon.
"Hasta la baby, vista!", shouted Davis. Then he began to silently recount what he just said. Kabuterimon swooped down and picked up Veemon, then they flew away. TecKuwagamon flew over to the window.
"Guys, get on! We can catch them!", suggested TecKuwagamon.
"No. We've got more important things to do...", said Lee. "But get us out of here."
[i]More important things... like taking this laptop to Kevin so he can hack it for me...[/i]
Ace, Alex and Lee got onto TecKuwagamon, who flew down and got DemiTyrannomon and Mikemon, then they flew back in the direction of their town.
"You were pretty cool back there, Alex.", said Lee.
"You too.", she said, happily. Ace rolled his eyes.
"Welcome to the team. I suppose.", said Ace. He shook her hand.
"What, Ace? Ya jealous?", asked Alex. Ace blushed.
"Uh.. what? Me? No! What would I be?"
"WHY would you be. You mean.", corrected Lee.
"Shut up Lee.", said Ace.
