Author's Notes:

The time is almost neigh! Here, after four hours of hard work, I present you with the second to last part of The Runaway Digimon Express! The conclusion comes next chapter, so please review to see the end!

Bloody Kitsune, I got chapter 8 up yesterday. Here's chapter 9. I'm updating EVERY SINGLE DAY for those who haven't noticed…yes it is backbreaking work, but I'm devoted to my cause. Thank you and R&R again!

                 , Yeah, I thought that all the chapters were on spot with the movie…and yep, we're getting real close to the end now. Thanks for the heads up with Riley and "Bio-Merge activate"–I fixed those up. It's been a while since I saw the English episodes, so my head is like *&^%*$*&^*&

Cyberwolf, Ah yes, this dose seem to be a Rukato movie. But in every movie and the series, Takato is with a different girl, so who knows? And yes, Parasimon is disgusting. I'm glad that in Japan they don't have an anti-blood fetish; it's actually funny when he gets impaled. And yes, one would think Rika would be afraid of spiders after that…oh, a Star Wars fan? That's a difficult question. A few years back, just before episode 2 came out, I caught Star Wars fever for a while, and bothered memorizing every single aspect of the Star Wars universe as told in the novels and on the website database. Of course, that petered off after a while, so right now I guess I'm not that avid a follower of Star Wars, though I will definitely see episode 3. And that bit about Rika singing when she was first possessed; that confused me too, since they don't really explain that in the movie. And yes, Tamers owns all other seasons. As for the series creator, there was no single creator of Tamers, but there was a prominent storyline writer who wasn't consulted for this film. But this was definitely written by a pro-Rukato person.

Dr. Volron, The end draws near. Are you interested in "The Adventurer's Battle" as well?

OmnicromXR, *Blinks* Um, more information that I needed (no, I don't watch Hentai.), but correct me if I'm wrong–isn't Hentai still an absence of skirts?

MajinMewtwo, lol, you said it. When I look at the result, I'm shocked at how brief the chapters seem compared to the work I put into it. But I started this and I will finish it, since you faithful reviewers seem to be willing to see it to the end as well. And yes, the real thing is REALLY good. And yes, out of all the goggle boys, Takato dose seem to be the luckiest. I mean, he has everything. Three girlfriends, awesome partner, ability to become a digimon, universal acceptance among his friends…I mean what more could he ask for? As for the other seasons and all references therein…after I got addicted to Tamers, I became more tolerant as was willing to overlook the crappy American Digivolution theme (trust me it's a lot better in Japanese) and bothered to watch some of the other seasons. Season 1 I STILL couldn't stand. Season 2 was okay though…still nothing compared to Tamers however. As for frontier, I never bothered watching it…

Dark Flamedramon, Thank you thank you! I put even more work into this chapter, so methinks it should be even better. As for the song, it was not My Tommrow. My Tommrow would hardly have fit. The song title is Yuuhi no Yakosoku. It was so good, I have MP3s of both versions ^_^ Anyways, please enjoy this chapter.

Here's more of our favorite movie. Enjoy it folks – the end is near. Reviews will bring that end here faster too ;)

Susie walked around the platform restlessly. Seeing the huge vortex of purple, she wandered off to the edge of the station and pointed curiously.

"What's that over there, Lopmon?" She asked.

Lopmon walked over besides her tamer and stared. "Maybe…"

***

The service train sped on. As they passed the detached traincars, the passengers stared at the swirling Digital Portal in dismay.

"Henry! We've got big problems; there's a bunch of things coming out of the Digital Portal!" Terriermon warned.

Indeed, from the twisting purple vortex, hundreds of purple creatures, threads protruding from their mouths spider-like, were diving down to the real world. A familiar, insane laughter could be heard as the masses of Parasimon arrived. They crashed among the streets, crushing people and cars as they did so. Recovering quickly, they wasted no time in attacking the locals with their tentacles.

"Now I see…that's the purpose of all of this!" Henry exclaimed.

"Purpose?" Terriermon asked.

"Locomon was running away in order to escape into the Digital Portal." Gallantmon muttered.

"So Parasimon would be able to enter the real world…" Rika said, face serious once more.

"To unite and invade the Real World!" Takato finished.

"We won't let you do that!" Rika and Henry cried in unison.

BIO-MERGE DIGIVOLUTION_

"Bio-Merge activate!"

Rika and Henry's digivices glowed like brilliant beacons. Rika brought hers to her chest and clasped both hands over her digivice, bending her head as if in prayer. Henry outstreached his hands, swiping his digivice across to his other hand before swinging it in a circle, finally bringing it to his head. Rays of blue light poured from Rika before there was a brilliant flash, and Rika's body was contained inside a blue, glowing sphere. A wave and flash of light burst from Henry's digivice, containing him inside a similar sphere of a green color. A ring of data spun around them as they shut their eyes. The sphere of light expanded, encompassing their partners too. As Digimon and Human met, energy sizzled across them, fusing them together.

Terriermon's data burst apart as a humanish arm outstretched itself. Electricity fizzled across the arm as two halves of a machine gun came together like wristbands on either arm. A humanlike leg with metal shoes reminiscent of Terriermon's paws were treated likewise as heavy metal armor bound themselves around his legs. The shoulders', already armored, had two smiley-face launchers fold out as a helmeted head, looking very much like a dog, burst from the body.

Renamon plunged her arm into a watery surface as a reflection of a young, black-clad, white-haired woman reached out to the same surface. As Renamon's arms plunged into the water, the data dissolved revealing a more human one beneath it. Her legs followed suit, fox paws flaking away into particles of light. Her head rippled for a moment as she covered her face with a hand.

Within the sphere, Henry opened his eyes determinedly feeling the familiar confidence of uniting with his partner. A warm wind blew his short hair as Henry experienced the sensation of working with another mind, in perfect unison. They looked around for a moment before executing a hook-kick with surprising agility for such a bulked being. Their feet slammed down as they moved their arms downwards in a manner that betrayed their experience with karate before announcing their new identity.

"MEGAGARGOMON!"

Inside, Rika opened his eyes to feel the familiar comforting warmth of her partner. A gentle breeze constantly splayed her hair behind her, and Rika felt closer to Renamon than she ever did, as if they were one person. They both saw through their shared eyes, and their minds worked in perfect unison. They brought their hand down, revealing a young woman in fox-like armor, long hair streaming behind her. They looked up and leapt up, somersaulting before landing in a ritualistic ring clutching a staff of rings. They stood and announced their new identity.

"SAKUYAMON!"

Sakuyamon landed atop one of MegaGargomon's shoulders as Gallantmon joined her on the other.

"Let's stop them at the gate of the Digital Portal!" MegaGargomon suggested as he fired his rockets, becoming a veritable flying fortress.

MegaGargomon came to a rest near the Digital Portal, as the laughter of Parasimon filled the air. Sakuyamon and Gallantmon leapt down from his shoulders, slaughtering the Parasimon near them. Meanwhile, hatches on MegaGargomon's shoulders opened up, revealing machine guns, as hatches on his chest revealed rocket launchers. More hatches on his legs opened, displaying even more missiles, as the two massive shoulder-launchers opened up.

"MEGA BARRAGE!"

Hundreds of MegaGargomon's trademark smiley-face missiles burst from the launchers, splaying smoke and green exhaust behind them. They spread out at incredible speeds, and with a life of their own slammed into the Parasimon that were still falling from the sky like rain. Missiles detonated into wave after wave of falling Parasimon, the remaining missiles always finding fresh targets as they sped further on.

Meanwhile, MegaGargomon spread his hands as bullets poured from his wrist guns. Parasimon lining the streets laughed even as they were shot to bits. More and more waves of missiles were fired, but even as the explosions in the distance let them know that Parasimon were dying, every time the smoke cleared more poured down in waves, filling the streets more than ever.

As tentacles launched towards her, Sakuyamon hacked them to bits as Gallantmon impaled enemy after enemy, defeated Parasimon lying in heaps around him. His sword stained with green blood, Gallantmon looked up.

"They just won't stop!"

***

Riley eyed the readings in shock; the last thing she needed today was another surprise.

"What's this? Something's wrong!" She warned.

Megumi watched as the large digital signal proceeded further into the Real World. A blazing comet of light charged down the portal from the Digital World, as the three Tamers turned their heads. Henry gasped in surprise as he felt it arrive.

"It's coming!" Takato exclaimed as Rika stared at the approaching figure.

Suddenly, with shocking speed, the being spun around and came to a rest on MegaGargomon's shoulder, kicking up dust as he did.

"Hi everyone!" He saluted

"Justimon!" MegaGargomon exclaimed.

"Ryu?" Takato asked breathlessly.

"Hmph." Inside Sakuyamon, Rika looked away, face showing thoughtful denial.

More and more Parasimon poured from the Digital Portal, now charging towards the Tamers. Justimon leapt off of MegaGargomon's shoulder with awesome speed, and as Sakuyamon dodged an attacking Parasimon, he pummeled downwards, kicking the luckless enemy, energy sizzling over the victim's body.

***

The service train moved forward at a slower pace now, but halted as a pair of Parasimon blocked its path, laughing insanely. It's passengers screamed and leapt off of it as a Parasimon crashed on top of the train's roof.

"Ouch!" Kenta cried as he landed face-first on the ground.

MarineAngemon zipped in front of his tamer and shot a wave of pink hearts at the Parasimon on top of the train. The parasite digimon giggled insanely before dissolving into data, and as he did, Guardromon could be seen launching missiles at the remaining pair of Parasimon.

***

Susie backed off, face constricted in fear. Lopmon stood determinedly between her tamer and the approaching Parasimon, knowing that she would stand little chance against such an enemy. Susie covered her face as Lopmon's wavered, sensing another Parasimon slide down behind her partner.

Suddenly, a loud roar of challenge was heard, and two blasts of purple energy slammed into the Parasimon, who groaned and dissolved into data almost instantly. Susie looked around confused as a large figure landed behind her. Turning around, Susie gasped.

"Beezlemon!" She exclaimed happily, running forwards to hug the Mega digimon's leg.

***

"THUNDER CLAP!" Justimon roared, slamming his metallic arm to the ground.

The shockwave split down the asphalt, vaporizing any Parasimon in the way. Meanwhile, Gallantmon butchered more tentacles and impaled another Parasimon, swinging the corpse over his head as he turned to face another.

Sakuyamon and Justimon fought back to back, fending off swarms of Parasimon.

"There's just too many of them!" Justimon muttered.

"This is impossible!" Sakuyamon gasped.

The pair split apart as a mass of tentacles appeared where they had stood a second ago. As Justimon somersaulted through the air, tendrils launched towards him and a leech-like extension clasped onto his back, sprouting purplish legs instantly. Gallantmon lunged, hacking the appendage away quickly before it could become a problem. Another Parasimon launched a mass of tentacles at Gallantmon. Takato swiped them aside with his sword, taking a step back…

As a Parasimon leapt onto him, clinging with its legs as tentacles paralyzed his movements.

"Gallantmon!" Sakuyamon gasped, turning from a Parasimon she was fighting in order to help. Before she could though, three Parasimon fired tentacles at her, wrapping around her legs and arms. Looking around she saw that Justimon was in a similar situation, and that MegaGargomon was lying on the ground, Parasimon swarming all over him.
