Cyberdramon immediately charges forward and attacked the nearest tamer, Talon. Fortunately, thanks to his training, he was able to dodge it by inches. His reaction was quick and unheard as he drew his digivice upward and slid a digivolution card through it.

The poorly lit room suddenly flashed brightly. "Agumon digivolve to~." The flash took its time in dimming but in Agumon's place was a finely built lizard warrior of sorts. "Greymon!" The huge gift from the prehistoric era had a brown bone helm shielding his face along with multiple blue streaks that randomly yet symmetrically covered certain areas on his muscular body. "Bring it on Cyberdramon!"

He did just that. Moments later he charged a second time at Greymon rather than Talon. Greymon, despite his large appearance, was extremely fast and had excellent reflexes. He easily dodged the charged, but the follow-up attack struck him directly in the lower jaw.

"Greymon!"

Ryu laughs maniacally. "Your Greymon is no match for Cyberdramon!"

"Renamon digivolve to~.Kyubimon!" No one heard Rika when she swiped the card, but the blinding flash allowed Greymon to retreayt a moment and for Terriermon to digivolve.

"Terriermon digivolve to~.Gargomon! Let's go!"

Kazu is behind them scrambling through his cards to find a digivolution card. "How do they pull their cards so fast?" He exclaimed quietly to himself.

The flash slowly dissipates like the last one and a slender fox-like quadruped with nine tails stood elegantly in Renamon's place, and in Terriermon's place was a somewhat (ahem) chubby bunny with high speed guns for hands and bullets crossing his torso.

"Your in for it now Ryu!" Henry took his place next to Gargomon.

"Stop it! All of you. why do you have to fight? He was one of us." Jeri was unsuccessfully trying to control her tears. Leomon's embrace comforted her slightly.

Henry winced at her outburst but decided to argue. "But that's it, Jeri. He ~was~ one of us. Now he's." Henry trailed off and looked at the ground.

"What am I, Henry. Go on say it." He hesitated a moment before continuing in a mocking tone. "He's not Ryu! He's evil! He's not one of us!" Henry's continued silence was proof enough to confirm what he had said. "And he's right! I'm not one of you weaklings! I feel disgusted to have ever been one of you! The time for talking has ended!" He swiped his hand through the air again to emphasize his impatience. "We fight NOW! Cyberdramon show them how weak they really are!"

Cyberdramon hesitated slightly, but it was enough for the tamers to start off the attack. Greymon lead the attack with a charge pushing Cyberdramon back mere centimeters before Kyubimon attacked with a Foxtail Inferno, and immediately after her, the berserker bunny blasted a thousand bullets in his general direction. Dust kicked up all around Cyberdramon interfering with any possible line of sight they may have had. The tension was thick as they waited for the dust to clear to see the damage they had done. Moments passed as a silhouette of the kneeling Cyberdramon became visible. Slowly the dust cleared allowing a clearer view of him. They were shocked to witness that their attacks did nothing. He simply grimly chuckled.

A dim purple glow encompassed Cyberdramon and his tamer's forms. The glow left them in seconds.

"That's the power of Cyberdramon you fools!" His sinister laughter echoed throughout the hallways making even the youngest digieggs shiver.

~Dark room~

Neraphimon is staring at the fuzzy screen in shock. "How can a human have that much power? He shouldn't be capable of that. What did he say earlier?" He begins to remember the flashback Ryu revealed. "Ahh yes, He is jealous of that boy in my possession. I think I can use this to my advantage. What will I do with him?" He ponders for a moment while listening to the love struck Renamon chasing her playmates and his prisoners. "Yes. His power and his digivice will be mine." He paces over to the steel door and leaves the dark room with all intentions of meeting Ryu in person.

~Back at the battle~

Talon stood next to Greymon. Then without removing his gaze from Ryu and Cyberdramon he began speaking to his partner. "Greymon, its time to take this to the next level." Then he raised his voice a bit louder. "All of you need to digivolve again also." He raised his digivice and a blank card. He closed his eyes a moment and concentrated on the card. It gradually faded blue with the odd crest in the middle. His eyes burst open. "Lets do it Greymon!" He immediately swiped the card through his digivice. At that second Greymon began to glow with a warm light.

"Greymon digivolve to~. Metal Greymon!" Before anyone saw him through the dissipating light, he let out an ear splitting roar. The roar was so great that Ryu's ears, though they were covered, began to bleed.

"How did you do that!?" Rika was still shocked to see Talon obtain a blue card so easily.

"Its simple. Just want it enough and it will happen. This is the digital world." The words slipped smoothly past his lips, but his concentration was entirely on the battle.

"Just. want it enough?" She was still confused when she nodded in compliance, but she figured she should try regardless. She picked up a random card from her deck and held it in front of her. She closed her eyes and tried to concentrate. {I have to do this. We have to get past Ryu to save Takato! Please, I need to help Kyubimon digivolve! Please.} Slowly the card began fading blue, not unlike Talon's. She opened her eyes and stared in astonishment at the fact that it worked. Then her face turned serious again. "Kyubimon! Digivolve!" She swiped the card immediately.

"Kyubimon digivolve to~. Taomon!" The previous elder kitsune was replaced by a new slender humanoid figure. Dressed in a white robe and blue pants, she wielded a brush for the illustrating of talisman spells. "Its time to get serious. For Rika! {and Guilmon!}"

"I guess it's my turn!" Gargomon looked up and nodded at Henry.

Henry nodded in return and started thinking. {I have to do this. If I can't do this I can't protect Jeri! I can't allow Ryu to break her heart like this!} The carded slowly faded blue and he immediately swiped the card.

"Gargomon digivolve to~. Rapidmon!" Within moments, the previous (ahem) chubby bunny was gone and in his place stood a tall rabbit like creature concealed in parts by green armor. His hands replaced by smoother and more powerful guns. "We can do this Henry!" He took a stance that looked similar to the tiger stance in kung fu.

Responding to the go of Rapidmon, Metal Greymon led the attack once more with incredible speed! His speed increased ten fold as his figure blurred when he approached Cyberdramon. Mere seconds later his claw had crossed Cyberdramon torso, lightly scarring him.

"What was that!?" Ryu stared in bewilderment. His mind couldn't comprehend the amazing speed at which the bulky Metal Greymon had moved. "How did you do that!?"

He simply smirked in response. "Face it Ryu. You don't stand a chance against me."

"Cyberdramon attack!!"

Cyberdramon quickly dashed at him with his claws extended, but Metal Greymon easily parried.

"Does he even need our help?" Rapidmon's stare was full of bewilderment at the fight.

Cyberdramon was fighting a losing battle, being parried at every punch, being hit by every attack. Nothing he did worked and Ryu realized that as he watched angrily. Finally, he caved. "Cyberdramon retreat!"

Cyberdramon quickly returned to Ryu's side and the battle halted.

"Finally realized the facts Ryu?" His face went from a calm to an angry look. "Leave these digimon alone! This is no longer your ground."

Ryu's face was bubbling red as Talon infuriated him. "We're getting out of here Cyberdramon!" He raised his hand to point at the pale Agumon. "You'll have to deal with him now!"

The tamers looked back at the confused Agumon.

"What are you talking about?" Rika just glanced at Ryu before hearing his laugh mixed with the tortured sounds of the screaming Agumon.

His body was bulging in random places making him grow hideous quickly. Soon his skin couldn't take the strain of the quickly growing Agumon and it melted away revealing nothing more than bone and muscle. He continued to grow and mutate, bashing walls and accidentally killing digimon beneath his feet in his tantrum. The muscle began to relocate itself to certain places on his body leaving much of it with nothing more than bone. A missile emerged from its back, a sinister missile with a grin on its head. He quickly broke through the ceiling causing more rocks to fall on unsuspecting digimon. The castle was turning to shambles as it reared its head back and let out an ear-piercing roar not unlike that of Metal Greymon's.

The tamers' faces twisted with a mixture of disgust, horror, and pity for the poor Agumon.

"How could you do this?" Leomon roared out at Ryu whom was laughing loudly.

"Easily, even your friend there had darkness in his heart. A hatred for me that I had just relieved for him. Anyway, it's time for me to take my leave. Cyberdramon, come!" Both ran out the front before they got involved in Skull Greymon's unconscious annihilation of the castle.

Miles away from the castle the destruction could still be heard echoing throughout that layer of the digital world, but the distance was far enough for Ryu and Cyberdramon, whom had stopped to breath. "Hmph, that should keep the tamers busy for awhile."

Soon after they stopped, an ominous voice emerged from seemingly nowhere. "Do you hate Takato?"

"Who was that!?" Ryu looked in every direction trying to find the source while Cyberdramon sniffed but found nothing.

"Do you?"

"Who wants to know!?" He yells in response to the voice he can't see.

"He is in my custody, that is all"

This remark caught his attention. "Hmm, who are you?"

Neraphimon appeared in front of him seconds later. "Answer my question."

"Yes." Ryu smirked at this new digimon and began pacing around him trying to analyze him. "Why do you care?"

"I have a proposition for you."

"What is it?" He stopped pacing and looked him in the eyes, half smiling.

"I have Takato and you want him. Will you cooperate with me if I give you Takato?" He eyed the boy in front of him sternly.

"Why do you want me to help you?"

"I want your power on my side of this war."

"Hmm.Fine I'll do it if I get full custody of Takato." He grinned widely thinking of the tortures he could come up with.

"There's one condition."

"Figures, there's always a condition." He had a careless look on his face.

"You can't hurt him until he's outlived his usefulness."

Ryu began to think a bit then smiled giddily. "Don't worry, I won't kill him until Rika is there to watch him squirm and die by my hand." He laughed almost maniacally as he pictured the whole situation unfolding.

Cyberdramon sat by quietly, listening to everything and began to wonder. {This digimon is not one for deals. What is he up to? What does he plan to do with my tamer?} He pondered over these things for a bit until someone began to speak again.

"So, where is Takato?"

"In my Home. We will be there momentarily." He made a small grunt before sand kicked up around them. Ryu had to shield his eyes from the flurry of sand swirling around them. After the flurry disappeared, they were gone. In their place was nothing more than invisible footprints and empty traces of their data flying loosely around. {Foolish human, you've no idea what you've agreed to.} An unnoticeable grin found its way to his lips.
