[Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!!" plays]
Bebimon Arrives on Earth! Look Out Everyone!
Eastern Shinjuku District. Subway Entrance.
Shinjuku. Nothing has changed ever since its reconstruction after the D-Reaper fiasco. The people have moved on with their lives and tried to forget that such events had occurred. Since then, there hasn't been an evil force that has set their sights on the defenseless cities. That is until now…
There were reports of people found unconscious in the tunnels of the city. It seemed something had sapped away their energy and put them into comas. Though, there was no exact evidence of an attacker. The local authorities were trying to do their best to start investigations. Little did they realize that the perpetrator was in the form of a certain mutant. Bebimon was now hiding amongst the citizens within the Shinjuku district.
Fortunately for him, Bebimon has discovered several sightings of bio-emergences. This was the perfect opportunity for him to find a body and possess it.
The mutant digimon crawled across a pipe way and located a digimon walking out from a thickening fog. Bebimon looked across and found a Karatenmon. The crow-like warrior viewed his surroundings and took his first steps into a new environment. He was unaware of what he was getting himself into. The human realm was definitely an unpredictable world. However, he wasn't aware that a certain parasitic villain was lurking within the darkness.
Karatenmon quickly sensed out a presence and drew out his swords. He leaps up and steps into a defensive position.
"Who goes there?! Show yourself!!"
His voice echoed through the tunnels and was answered by a wicked laughter. It was wicked and frightening enough to scare a grown military soldier. A pair of red eyes was seen penetrating through the pitch darkness. The laughter was deep, sinister, but filled with spite malice.
"I can sense the fear from you. Yes, you have every right to be afraid."
"Who are you?! Show yourself, coward!"
"Ah, that wasn't very nice. I was just about to let you off the hook. But, alas, I have no choice but you take your body. You shall help me find the strongest digital life form in this retched human waste dump. I know there are other digimon in this realm. I can sense them. Yes, you shall be my vessel! Lend me your body!"
With that said, Karatenmon found himself surrounded by a massive blob of silver liquid. Bebimon had transmuted himself into a gigantic mouth. The mutant engulfs the bird digimon and absorbed through his body. Karatenmon screams echoed throughout the tunnels while his body was immediately being taken over by the parasitic mutant.
The ninja bird slowly rose to his feet while being in complete control. He waved his hands and stretched parts of his body.
"I suppose this body will just have to do for now. I'll get by these humans without being detected. But first, I must seek out every digimon that resides within this realm. I shall seek the strongest of the bunch and claim their bodies for myself. Then, once Taichi and his ignorant allies return home, they shall be dealing with a fully powered Bebimon. I can't wait! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
With one swift motion, the Bebimon-possessed Karatenmon busts through a tunnel door. He scurried over and found a pipeline leading towards the outside of Shinjuku city. He uses his swords to bust through the caved walls and found himself outside of a waterway system.
"Humans. What a retched world they inhabit. In order to make this my new home, I'll have to convert these mammals under my control. Yes, I shall get Taichi where it hurts. I'll take away his family and those close to him! Hurry on over, boy. You'll be pleased with the way I've renovated this world. I'll make them all despise and wish death upon you. Heh. Heh."
Deep within Shinjuku Park. 2:35 P.M.
The activity in Shinjuku Park was lively as ever. Children gathered to have fun at the playground or to perhaps group up to trade cards. Others came to relax and catch up on their naps. There were quite a dozen of couples strolling across different areas of the park.
Each couple found themselves private spots to make love. Too bad for them that nosey little kids always manage to barge in on their romantic moments.
Luckily for Jeri, she and her boyfriend, Pikkan, had no worries over any nosey children to interrupt their moments. Those little brats would have to answer to the Alterian the hard way. This goes double for those perverted teens. If they attempt to set their sets on the girl, Pikkan would literally murder them.
As Jeri sat on a chair looking out in the sun, Pikkan came walking towards her with two ice cream cones. The flavors of the ice cream were peanut butter raspberry almond crunch. Yes, it was a famous ice cream combo within the Shinjuku District and perhaps every child's favorite. Well, almost every one of them…
"Jeri, here you go," Pikkan said with care. "I hope you like peanut butter raspberry almond crunch."
"Oh, I love it. How did you know that it was my favorite?"
"I read your mind."
"Huh? You did?"
"Yeah. It's not too difficult for us, Alterians."
Pikkan sat down next to Jeri. The teenage girl started licking at the ice cream scoops. Looking on with satisfaction, Pikkan took a lick from his ice cream.
"How is it? Is this your first time eating ice cream?"
"Ha, don't be ridiculous. I just never tasted this flavor before. It's ok. They shouldn't have added too many almonds."
Jeri continued licking her ice cream while Pikkan lies back onto the grass. He glares up towards the skies and swallowed drops of his melting ice cream.
"She looks so innocent eating her ice cream. Despite this, I'm feeling a little uneasy. There's some form of disturbance within the earth's spirit. What could it be? I hope Leomon gets to this bottom of this. We have to know what we're up against."
"Pikkan? Pikkan?"
The Alterian's mind was off into another 'world', until Jeri's voice forced him to reply to her. Pikkan set his eyes back onto Jeri and swallowed his ice cream scoop whole.
"Are you okay? It seemed something was bothering you."
"It was just something on my mind."
"Oh. Well, I just thought something was bothering you."
"No. There isn't anything bothering me. But, I think we should be going. Let's go to your family's bakery."
"Ok, if you say so."
"Good. There's something I have to tell Leomon."
"If it's that important, then all right."
With that said, the pair sat up from their spot and headed out from the park. They were off towards the exit of the park entrance. Pikkan did not want to inform Jeri on the matter since he did not want to put her in harms way of this new threat.
Lurking through the brushes was a crow-like figure. It was none other than Bebimon-possessed Karatenmon. He peered through the brushes and kept a eye on Pikkan. He made sure to hide his ki, in order to conceal himself from Pikkan's keen senses.
"Finally, I've found a digital life form with an extraordinary power. It would be wise to take his body, but I want to broaden my horizons a little more. I'm sure that there are other options. Huh? What's this? I'm sensing more ki signals from another one."
The crow ninja turned towards his left direction to locate a blue-haired teen and a Terriermon. He spotted Henry Wong, a friend and ally to Takato and Rika. But his eyes were set on Terriermon. Bebimon had an opportunity to inhabit Terriermon's body and use it to his disposal.
"A Terriermon? Well, this has gotten a lot more interesting. I take it that he and the boy are allies to Taichi. It makes perfect sense. How convenient for me to have arrived in a world full of opportunity. I'll make good use of his body. Perhaps I'll gain information while I inhabit his body and find out who the strongest digital being resides in this realm."
"TERRIERMON!!"
Karatenmon quickly phases out from sight as Terriermon scurried across the field with a batch of donuts. Henry looked across to find a man chasing after him.
"Hey, give me back those donuts, yo!!"
"You snooze you lose, bub!" Terriermon chuckled while running away from the rather large man.
"Terriermon! What have you gotten yourself into now! I told you not to steal another man's donuts."
"Just pray that this guy isn't another Homer."
"I can't imagine that. This guy makes Homer look like a lightweight!"
"Um, Henry. I think we lost him. I knew fat guys wouldn't last long, but geez… He can forget about Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers."
As soon as they settled into an empty section of the park, Terriermon sat down and opened up the box of donuts. His eyes were in awe as he gazed upon a dozen glazed donuts. Terriermon's mouth drooled luscious snacks. Henry hunches over and snatches a donut from the box.
"Couldn't help it, Henry?"
"No way. Not over these. I can't resist it. Though, it was wrong for you to steal them. One of these days you're going to get caught."
"No way! I'm like a thief in the night! I'm faster than the wind and as quiet as a mouse!"
"But you eat like a pig and don't even bother chewing your food."
"Well, I can't help it if I'm a glutton. You ought eat more and put on some weight there, stick boy."
"I resent that, Terriermon."
The two shared a laugh while picking out several donuts to eat. However, they weren't aware that Karatenmon kept his sights on them.
"Yo, Henry. Pass along another. These donuts just aren't filling me up."
"You really have a bottomless pit of a stomach."
"Heh. Aren't I special?"
"Enjoy your meal while you can, boys. I'll make sure that it ends up being your last!"
As soon as he cleared his thoughts, Karatenmon removed his twin swords and glared through their reflections. He set his target on the duo with deadly intentions. Phase one of Bebimon's operation was clearly underway and he couldn't afford to fail. This was his opportunity to claim another body and locate the other digimon allies of Tai.
West Shinjuku Bridge
In the section where the famous Shinjuku Bridge stood, another Tamer was seen leaning against the bridge wall. The teen was a boy with a green cap and light brown hair. Yes, it was the ever so arrogant Tamer named Kazu. He wasn't alone. Accompanying him was another Tamer named Kenta and the goofball partner of his, Guardromon.
"Man, am I so bored?" Kenta muttered.
"You're telling me? I'm wondering when chumley and the guys are coming back," Kazu replied. "Guardromon. Do you if they are in anyway getting closer to home?"
"Huh? How should I know? They are too far off for me to tell. My sensors are on the fritz."
"Crap, you always need repairs."
"How about we go and get ourselves some slushies?" Kenta asked.
"That's a great idea, dude. Do you have any money?"
"Um, no. I thought you always carry change."
"Nope."
"You need to get a job, Kazu. What are we going to do once we get out of school?"
"Good question. I'm not even thinking about it right now. Let's enjoy our youth while it lasts."
"I guess so."
"Wait a second, fellas. I think I'm carrying some loose change," Guardromon said while emptying his cartridges. "Um, I think I had some change…"
"Great, I can't even depend on you for some change," Kazu muttered. "No slushies for us then. Let's rot out here in boredom."
Just then, a slight disturbance had caught Guardromon's attention. The machine digimon cries out in alert, while catching the boys' attention.
"Yo, what is it? Guardromon?" Kazu asked frantically.
"Was there another bank robbery? You better leave that to the pigs to handle the job," Kenta said.
"Look ahead! It's a digimon! It's a wild one," Guardromon said. "I didn't even detect the presence of a fog barrier."
"Strange. Normally any digimon ought to detect one. Maybe this one got shipped her illegally through a portal."
"Kazu, that's ridiculous," Kenta said.
"Ridiculous or not. I believe him," Guardromon stated otherwise. "Let's go check out this situation. Follow me, fellas!"
As soon as finished his sentence, Guardromon boosted his rocket boosters and glided down off of the bridge. The people looked on in awe as Guardromon landed at the center of the streets. His presence managed to clog up the traffic building up. Kazu and Kenta came running down the stairs to catch up to the machine.
"What do you see, Guardromon? Do you see him?"
"Negative, Kazu. Oh, dear. I've found him!"
Guardromon pointed out across towards a Mercedes and pinpointed the location of a large, reptilian creature. The monster looked very similar to an African chameleon. In fact, it was a digimon identified as Chameleomon. Without a doubt, it was a territorial animal, yet this particular Chameleomon was acting more aggressive than it should be.
"What the freak is that?!" Kenta asked frantically.
Kazu immediately reaches out for his D-3 and began to scan the Chameleomon.
(Chameleomon. Armor Type. Specialized attacks include the ability to blend in through the use of invisibility and the strong use of their tongue lash)
"This guys is an armor type. You should be able to take him, Guardromon," Kazu added.
"I'm right on it. Hey, you! I suggest you leave these people alone, invader! Unless you want my pythons to squeeze the life out of you!" Guardromon said as he flexed his arms.
"It's official. He's finally lost it," Kenta said. "He needs to cut down on TV."
"Guardromon! This isn't supposed to be the time to be flexing your guns! Do something to stop him!" Kazu calls out.
"Don't worry. I was just getting to that," Guardromon added. "As I was saying, fiend…"
The Chameleomon was not impressed and his eyes started to emit a bright, red glow. He hops off of the Mercedes and stared down Guardromon. The reptile began to speak in a deep, vile tone.
"Are you… an ally to Taichi?" the Chameleomon asked.
"Huh? What do you know about our friend Tai?" Guardromon asked. "Explain yourself."
"Yeah. This is purely a coincidence!" Kazu calls out. "Why ask us about Tai?"
"Heh. All I need to know if you happen to be allies to Taichi. If so, then prepare to meet your doom!"
With that said, the Chameleomon's eyes shot out a single beam and targeted Guardromon. The machine quickly dodges to the side and puts out his arms. He shot out twin missiles as retaliation.
"Guardian Barrage!!"
The missiles nail Chameleomon and sent him skidding across the street. The crowds started to flee in the masses. Guardromon charged out to locate Chameleomon's whereabouts. The reptile seemed to have vanished via invisible camouflage. However, Guardromon started scanning through the area and picked up the reptile's presence. Chameleomon's camouflage proved useless against Guardromon.
"It's useless, fiend! There's nowhere for you to hide!"
"Give it to him, Guardromon!" Kazu cheered on from the sidelines.
"Whew, thank goodness I've kept you safe," Kenta whispered to a tiny, pink digimon inside of his pant pocket.
The tiny digimon revealed itself to be Marine Angemon, who happened to be Kenta's mega-level partner. Despite it's tiny stature, it provided a protective defensive shield for his digimon allies. His bubbles are very difficult to penetrate, especially for the likes of Chameleomon.
After a few moments of trash talking, Guardromon picked up Chameleomon's exact coordinates. The machine digimon lands a punch on Chameleomon. The reptile goes flying through a lightpost and was laid out on the concrete.
"This is sure easy," Guardromon said. "I don't see why we were so worried about a weakling."
"No kidding," replied Kazu. "Let's get this over with."
"Right! Do you hear that, fiend? I suggest you surrender right away!" Guardromon demanded.
The Chameleomon slowly lifted himself up while another figure looked from on top of an apartment rooftop. This figure's eyes were also emitting a crimson glow much like the Chameleomon. It was identified as an Asuramon. The tri-faced digimon scurries off from the rooftop and leaps off into a dark alley. What exactly is going? Do these digimon have a form of agenda or do they happen to be in cahoots with Bebimon? Those questions would soon be answered in due time.
Southern District of Shinjuku. 3:05 P.M.
There were disturbing occurrences that even took place in the southern district. It seemed that an invasion of sorts was being made by wild digimon.
Suddenly, an explosion erupted from a local bank. Then came another explosion from a laundry mat and several more along the way. The crowds scattered in the masses as a shadowy figure stood amongst the raging flames. Rather than a digimon emerging, a young blonde-haired body-builder came walking through without a single scathe. A sinister grin forms across his face as he turned to face the screaming people.
The bodybuilder found an innocent bystander and immediately snatched him by the neck. The scared businessman struggled under the bodybuilder's tight grip. The massively muscular man spoke with a rather hoarse voice.
"Where are the digimon I seek? Tell me now…"
The businessman responded by nodding his head, which did not set well for the bodybuilder. He tossed the businessman aside as if he were a rag doll.
"Get away. You're wasting my time."
Every other bystander started running away in desperation. The man held out his hand and sends out a deadly ki blast. The blast resulted in a massive explosion and the death of many innocent lives. The people's screams echoed throughout the district.
Meanwhile, T.K. was seen walking down with Patamon, Tike and Kara. They had left the local hospital a few minutes ago because T.K.'s mother had fallen ill. The blonde-haired young adult had a relieved look on his face. This was because he found out the good news of his mother doing well health wise.
"It was good to know that grandma only fainted and will be released tomorrow morning," Tike said.
"But I wonder. The police told me that something broke into her apartment," T.K. responded. "She claimed that something attacked her and caused her to faint."
"Hey, let's not talk about that right now. I know grandma will be fine and momma is going to be back soon," Kara assured her family.
"I agree. I say we go get ourselves some ice cream," Patamon replied.
"You just read my mind, Patamon. Let's go raid ourselves the nearest ice cream stand!" Tike exclaimed.
"With your bottomless pits, I would have to empty out my wallet again," Tike said with a deep sigh.
Suddenly, an explosion close by immediately alarmed the group. T.K. and the others turned to find several innocent bystanders running for their lives. Patamon flies out in front of his partner. The tiny digimon was picking up an immensely evil ki.
"Patamon? What is it? Are you picking up something?" asked T.K.
"This is no terrorist bombing, you guys. It's an attack from an immensely evil force. I can sense a dark ki from within this area. It's getting close."
"Is it a digimon?" Kara wondered.
"If it is, then Patamon ought to handle it," replied Tike.
"You're wrong, Kara. It's from a human, but his ki is immensely deepened with evil ki."
Back in the danger zone, the blonde-haired bodybuilder continued to blast away everything in his direction. He was not just relentless, but spared no life. Just as he was about to launch a tremendous blast at a group of bystanders, a figure came leaping out in front of them. The large man was quite surprised to see the person confronting him was none other than Mummymon.
"Hey! Just what do you think you're doing, scoundrel?! What gives you any right to blast everything in your way and harm these people's lives? You're in for a ton of lawsuits!"
The crowd rambled away and agreed with the semi-dimwitted ultimate. Mummymon eventually got the crowd going by chanting his name.
"I have the support of these people, fiend! They know who the mon is! I'm the mon! I demand you stop this relentless destruction now or you shall feel my wrath!"
Mummymon gets into a karate stance, but not long before popping his back. The mummy digimon clenched his back and attempted to suppress the pain. The crowds were soon starting to realize his incompetence.
"Heh. Heh. I'm still in this, you guys. I'm just an aging digimon, who is starting to have back problems. Damn back went out on me again…"
The bodybuilder simply turned around and faced Mummymon. His smile turns into a twisted grin.
"Are you one of the digimon I am seeking? Are you amongst those digital warriors with extraordinary powers?"
"Huh? Um, are you drunk? Oh, you mean those guys? I don't use cheap tricks and illusions like those guys!"
"Hmph. You are not one of them. Leave my presence, you piece of digital waste."
With that said, the bodybuilder shoots out a twin eye laser and directs his target at Mummymon. The dimwit leaps away as the beam exploded in front of him.
"Ouch! You better be careful where you aim that! You almost shot my feet! You never want to catch me in a bad mood! Do you hear me, scoundrel?!"
In response, the bodybuilder frowned, points and shoots another beam at Mummymon. Just as the second beam came closer towards Mummymon, Patamon intervened and pushed Mummymon away. The beam goes flying through and incinerates a nearby light post.
"Whoa! It's you, Patamon! You saved my life! I owe you one, little guy."
"Next time, don't go start picking up fights and not finishing it!" Tike calls out.
"What?! This punk was the one who started attacking these people!" Mummymon responded.
"So the ki I've sensed was from this guy?" Patamon wondered.
T.K. and the children gasped at the destruction caused by the bodybuilder. The destruction's wake left a devastating mark on portions of the southern district. The street was practically left in ruins and a number of injured people.
"My god. Look at this destruction!" Kara exclaimed. "Dad! Did this guy really do this?"
"Most likely. If what Patamon says is true, then I really believe it was him."
"Don't forget. We have Mummymon here. He's a witness," replied Tike.
"Yeah! You really should take my word for it. I might be worthless sometimes, but I can also be quite useful. Remember I helped you with the D-Reaper," Mummymon stated promptly.
"We'll give you a medal later," TK responded. "I say we try to talk to this guy."
"Hey, good luck, pal. He's all yours," Mummymon said while cowering behind him.
T.K. walked over towards the bodybuilder without a show of fear. The man turns towards T.K.'s direction and grinned. Patamon quickly flew over and stood at his partner's side.
"What is the meaning of this?" T.K. asked. "Who are you?"
"Yeah, you better explain yourself," Kara shouted. "Or we'll kick your ass!"
"Way to tell it to that jackass!" Tike said with a chuckle.
"So, your a Digi-Destined with a powerful partner. Finally, you have shown yourself."
"What do you want from us?! You had better give me a straight answer!" Tike demanded.
The bodybuilder slowly approached T.K. and reached out with a hand. Patamon immediately took offense and prepared to attack the man.
"That's it! We're moving in!" Tike exclaimed.
"Yeah! Don't waste your energy on this weakling! War Angemon will simply slaughter this punk!" Kara calls out. "Just leave this to us!"
The bodybuilder turned to find Tike and Kara charging. T.K. gasped in horror as his children were putting themselves at harm's risk.
"What the hell are they doing?!"
Shinjuku Park. 3:15 P.M.
Karatenmon let out a battle cry as he leaped off a tree branch. He wielded his twin swords and went to decapitate Henry. However, Terriermon immediately sensed him out and knocks Henry to the side. Karatenmon's sword struck the ground as a result. Terriermon took a defensive stance in front of Henry. This gave Karatenmon enough time to pull his swords out from the ground.
"I almost had you, human!" Karatenmon hissed.
"You just had to ruin a perfectly good meal," Terriermon said. "Nobody ruins my meal time!"
"Terriermon. Now isn't the time," Henry muttered. "Just who are you and what do you want from us? As I recall, we haven't done anything to upset you."
"Henry. That's a Karatenmon. They're sneaky little suckers."
"I do not need to answer myself to such an incompetent human. As far as I recall, you happen to know Taichi."
"What do you want to know about Taichi? He's an acquaintance of mine."
"Oh, that makes it all better. In that case, prepare to die! Then I shall take your digimon's body as a vessel."
"Look, I don't know what you've been smoking," Terriermon butted in. "But you're not going to body snatch anyone. Besides, that's so cliché. We're not in a crappy science fiction movie."
"You've got quite a mouth there, bunny. I'll tell you what. I'll start with you and beat you into submission. If I win, then I claim your body."
"Deal, but you're going to have to give it your best. Besides, I don't lose to chicken heads. Henry, let's kick it up a notch!"
"You're telling me," Henry said while reaching out for his D-Ark. "Card Slash! Digivolution Activate!"
EVOLUTION
"Terriermon shinka!! Gargomon!!"
Emerging from a thick cloud was a machinegun-wielding dog rabbit with pants. Gargomon faced off with Karatenmon. The Bebimon-possessed digimon took a battle stance and sensed his adversary's energy.
"His power raised through the roof," Bebimon thought to himself. "However, I'm a little disappointed that he doesn't carry a level similar to Taichi's digimon or any of his friends. I'll simply test this poor fool and see if he has a body worth inhabiting."
The digimon finally clashed with one another. Gargomon fired away a barrage of shots, which Karatenmon was able to avoid. The ninja bird used his swords to knock away each bullet.
"Oh, a wise guy, huh?!" Gargomon said. "Gargo Laser!!"
Karatenmon saw the bullet shots targeting him and immediately phases out from sight. Gargomon gasped once his opponent vanished from sight. Karatenmon reappears behind Gargomon and comes down with his swords.
"Gargomon! Look out behind you!" cried out Henry.
The rabbit-dog turns around and puts his guns up. Fortunately, he was able to catch the swords with his heavy-weighted guns. Gargomon used ever ounce of his strength to toss Karatenmon aside, but the ninja landed on his feet with grace.
"He's quite resilient, but I'm afraid he's not the one I'm looking for."
Suddenly, Karatenmon turned the other direction and picked up another energy signal. Gargomon noticed this and put up his guns to attack once again.
"I'm picking up another energy signal from the southern section of this city. Ah, I see this one digital life form has a higher power than this one. I'll have to postpone my date with this idiot."
"What's the matter? Have you decided to throw in the towel already?" Gargomon calls out.
"No, it looks like I have some other important matters to attend to. I'll have to put our little skirmish to a halt."
"Say what?!"
"I'll catch you later once I've found a stronger body."
With that said, Karatenmon phased out from the park forest and disappeared completely out of sight. Henry and Gargomon were caught off guard from the ninja's sudden disappearance.
"Where did he go?" Henry asked.
"You're asking me? Heck, how should I know? He did say that he was looking for a stronger body."
"Hmmm, I wonder," Henry muttered.
"Geez, did that guy really ruin my meal?! He's not going to get away with it. But I did get a bad vibe from him. It's almost as if someone else has inhabited his body and is pulling the strings."
"Gargomon! What do you think?"
Gargomon sat down and closed his eyes in thought. He seemed rather serious for the first few moments, but then dropped onto the ground back first.
"I have no idea, Henry… But, he is not ordinary digimon. Something is controlling him. Whatever is controlling him is out to look for another body."
"Not to mention the fact that he knows tai and the others. If that's the case, then we had better warn everyone else! Let's get going, Gargomon!"
"Hey, wait for me!"
Henry hurried out through the forest with Gargomon tagging along. They had to hurry and find Karatenmon before he finds the other digimon. If what he says is true, then every Digi-Destined is in danger.
Southern District of Shinjuku
The bodybuilder came charging towards the twin children. However, Tike and Kara quickly zipped into different directions. The man was caught off guard as Tike delivered a spinning back kick to his stomach, while Kara did a head butt into the man's crotch. The bodybuilder could not endure any further pain and fell to his knees.
"Yay! We did it!" Kara cheered on.
"Stay down like the punk you are," Tike replied. "Damn, that was easy."
"Wow! They're incredible!" Mummymon exclaimed. "Maybe I could use them as bodyguards to protect me from my fanatical fans."
"In your dreams, Mummymon!" the twins responded to the mummy digimon.
Suddenly, Patamon was picking up another dark presence. T.K. immediately took notice of this and turned to find Karatenmon pushing his way through the crowd. The bystanders began to flee from the scene, as they knew another fight was about to ensue.
"T.K.! This guy has even darker energy signal than that human. I say that we should send Tike and Kara away. This might be a little too much for them."
"Why, Patamon? This one doesn't look so tough," the young adult responded.
"Just leave it to us, Patamon. No use for you to waste your energy," Tike said.
"No sweat. We've been training for a big challenge," Kara said. "C'mon, Tike. Let's lay some smack down."
"Those kids don't know what they are getting themselves into!" Patamon growled.
Karatenmon leaps out onto the center of the street while facing off with the twins. Suddenly, his body started quivering. T.K. snatched the children away as the ninja's exposed chest wound began to open up. A purple pod emitted a bright green aura and plopped itself onto the ground.
"Ugh! That is sick!" Kara said with complete disgust.
"Not as sick as what I'm about to do to him!" Tike replied. "He must be the perpetrator behind these attacks!"
"I'm inclined to agree," said T.K.
The pod started to take a humanoid form. It started to sprout limbs. Its head was elongated into an alien-like head and shade-like eyes formed. A nose formed along with a sinister grin. His skin was now light blue. There was now a form of body armor covering his chest. The creature started to speak in a voice with a hissing manner.
"You… You're the partner to this Patamon are you? You must be one of the strongest digital warriors…"
"What's it to you?!" Patamon asked. "You're responsible for leading these attacks."
"I've gathered enough energy from as many hosts as I could. Their energy helped my body to develop and evolve. Thank you for the kind energy."
"You sick freak!" T.K. exclaimed with anger. "What gives you any right to take away other people's energy?! It's not yours! Relinquish it!"
"I don't think so. Tell me, are you allies of Taichi?"
This question caught T.K. completely in shock. How could this creature have known Tai? T.K. knew this monster was trouble, but he didn't realize that Bebimon knew the whereabouts of Tai.
"What do you want from Tai?! Do you two know each other?"
"Let's just say that we've ran into each other and had our differences. I can't wait until that coward shows himself back here. But you shall do nicely."
"Let us at him, dad!" Tike said. "We'll put this creep out of his commission."
"No. You two get away from here," T.K. demanded. "Mummymon. Get these kids out of here. Patamon and I will take care of this."
"Ok, but you better come out of this alive," Mummymon said. "I'm not about to sacrifice myself to save your ass!"
"Well if you think you can handle it, dad. We'll be supporting you, dad!" Kara said.
"Make sure you knock this guy senseless!" Tike said. "He shouldn't be too difficult for War Angemon."
T.K. gave a nod to his children, while assuring them that he would come out alive. Mummymon grabbed the twins and scurried off from the battle site.
"Ha, those brats don't matter to me. It's you and your partner that I'm really after. Oh, how rude of me not to introduce myself. I am Bebimon. My goal is to gain the strongest power in the digital cosmos and to crush all opposition that challenges my power. But my real grudge goes out to you disgusting humans. It was because of a human named Cyrus that destroyed my entire race. Because of those actions, I shall gain my revenge on humanity on their own turf."
"Revenge on humanity? This Cyrus is the one responsible. Please, do not take it out on us, humans."
"Blasphemy! You retch of the same blood! You humans only seek greed and power. You only care about yourselves and refuse to share it with any other non-human races. I'm here on a conquest to punish the human race. You should feel honored to be the first on my hit list."
"No, because here I will stop you."
"Try me, human."
"Patamon! Let's do this! Digivolve time!"
With that said, T.K. pulls out his D-3 and unleashes a stream of holy light. The light engulfed the tiny mammal digimon and caused him to evolve into a tall winged warrior wielding a staff.
"Patamon shinka!! Angemon!!"
"All right, Patamon! It's digital fusion time!"
The two were then brought together into a quick fusion. Within a few moments, they were merged together and became a single warrior. Taking their place was none other than War Angemon. His armor looked exactly like Seraphimon's, except that his body was sleeker and a sword was wielded on his right hand. On his back was a pair of ten golden wings. His helmet was decorated with golden letter writings and contained a pair of wings on each side.
"So, what do they call you? Tinkermon?" Bebimon said with a chuckle.
"No, but you can just call me, War Angemon. That'll be the last thing you'll ever hear once I'm done with you," the holy warrior said with a menacing tone.
"Yes, that's the way. Show me your true power. Unleash it all! I need to see if you do have limits to your great power."
"It won't matter once I've killed you, you heartless monster."
"What modest words from such a simple warrior," Bebimon said. "Your energy should do quite nicely."
As soon as he finished his sentence, Bebimon finished powering up as a bright aura formed around him. He reached his full maximum and then sent an incredible, energy force destroying nearly every building within the southern district with little effort. Mummymon quickly starts running as the blast sent him flying. Fortunately, Tike and Kara were able to catch him and fly him towards the distance.
"Whew! Thanks for saving my hide, little fellas!" Mummymon said with relief.
"Whatever. We just didn't want to be dragged along by you," Tike said. "We can get away from the fight faster by doing this."
"Don't worry. Our dad will take care of that freak," Kara assured the mummy digimon.
Bebimon finished powering up and faced off with the fused warrior. The mutant formed a sinister grin, which brought an angry sneer from War Angemon.
"Damn. It looks like we've got ourselves a fight on our hands. Hopefully, the kids will be safe from here. I better give this my fullest effort," War Angemon thought.
West Shinjuku Bridge Area
Meanwhile, back at the bridge area, Kazu and Kenta were on the sidelines witnessing the struggle between Chameleomon and Guardromon. The machine digimon charged over towards the fallen reptile and stopped. He noticed that Chameleomon wasn't moving and looked clearly unconscious.
"Kazu! It looks like I gave him the ol' K.O.! Score another victory for me! The crowd goes wild!"
The boys could only lower their heads in shame. Sweatdrops came dripping down the back of their heads. Guardromon continued to flex his "guns" despite the boys feeling embarrassed.
"That was a little too easy," said Kazu. "That Chamelemon didn't even put up a full effort."
"Yeah, I'm getting pretty suspicious, too," replied Kenta.
"I don't know about you, but I'm not cleaning this mess up," Kazu rambled on. "Guardromon. We'll leave that up to you. We're going out for some slushies."
"Whoa! Whoa! I can't leave me! At least bring me back something."
"How about some beef jerky?" Kenta asked.
"Sure, why not?"
As soon as the boys walked off from the area, several local authorities arrived at the scene. They started encircling Guardromon and were questioning him on the situation.
However, Asuramon had his eyes set on Guardromon. Before he attempted to unleash his attack, the demon man turned to find beast-like warrior. His mane was distinguishable and a large sword was strapped onto his back. The warrior gave Asuramon a menacing glare.
"I see that you've been among the few individuals causing trouble in this city," the beast man spoke. "I'm telling you right now. Leave or prepare to be punished."
Instead of replying to the warrior's offer, Asuramon charged out towards the warrior and prepared to attack him. Unfortunately for Asuramon, the beast warrior slams his fist into Asuramon's stomach. The demon man digimon fell to his knees and onto the floor unconscious. Leomon came walking out of the shadows as the mysterious beast warrior.
"Strange, it seems this monster was controlled by our new enemy. Pikkan had just informed me about the situation. We need to keep an eye out for this new enemy with Taichi and the others gone."
Suddenly, he turned to see Pikkan standing on the same rooftop. Leomon turned and made his way towards the Alterian.
"I say we get started right away, Pikkan."
"Yes, I sent Jeri to her home. She'll be safe for the time being. Let's make sure to broaden our horizons and sense out any evil ki. It will be difficult for us to find it."
"We'll give it our best, Pikkan."
"No, we have to accomplish this task. There's no other way."
"Agreed. Let's get going."
Southern District of Shinjuku
Henry and Gargomon finally arrived at the scene. They were astonished and shocked by the destruction left from Bebimon's maximum power-up ki. Gargomon looked up to find War Angemon facing off with the mutant digimon.
"Henry! Look up! Bebimon is taking on ol' T.K.! This is going some fight!"
"Remind me where to find the popcorn."
"Give it to him, T.K.! Don't let your guard down!"
"Is that what might have controlled the Karatenmon?"
"Probably. His energy is similar to that Karatenmon. It really doesn't matter anyway. T.K. is going to cream this guy."
"T.K. better watch himself. This thing might just be craftier than we gave credit for."
Bebimon started to laugh at his new opponent and cocked his head in curiosity.
"So, what do you think of my power, warrior?" the mutant taunted War Angemon. "Aren't you going to attack? Or are you buying yourself some time? Perhaps you need the help of friends."
"What are you talking about? I don't need anyone else to help me defeat a wimp like you."
"Oh, well tell that to these two," Bebimon pointed down at Henry and Gargomon.
War Angemon turned his attention away from Bebimon to look down. He noticed that Henry and Gargomon were spectators. At least his children weren't around to get in harm's way.
"They won't interfere. This is between us, Bebimon. I'm not going to stall any longer. I'm coming at you right now!"
(Play the Fight battle from the Neo vs. Smith fight in The Matrix Reloaded)
Immediately, War Angemon phases out from sight. Bebimon was caught off guard as the angelic warrior delivered a kick to his head. War Angemon follows that up with a forearm smash to the mutant's cranium. Bebimon cries out while plummeting down towards the concrete ground. However, Bebimon prevented his fall from taking place and stops in mid-air. He found that War Angemon was no longer levitating from the heavens. Bebimon felt a presence creeping up from behind him. He turns around and is met with a fist to his face.
"Damn! You bastard! I was caught off guard!"
"There's plenty of more pain where that came from," replied War Angemon.
"Impressive. You've shown more tendency than that rabbit. However, you are going to have bring out all the goods."
"The nerve of that guy," muttered Gargomon. "He should have at least given me some credit."
"I'm afraid your way out of this monster's league."
"Nah, that couldn't be true, Henry. He ran away. He didn't want anymore of this," Gargomon said with a chuckle.
"Note to self: make sure to deflate this bunny's ego," Henry thought.
Bebimon once again threw himself towards War Angemon. The mutant relentlessly hammered away at the angelic warrior. The two engaged into a punch/block struggle. Bebimon was impressed by his adversary's combination of speed and power.
War Angemon started to dictate his pace while Bebimon allowed time to recover. The angelic warrior raises his hand and formed an energy rod. The mutant saw an opening to War Angemon and took complete advantage of him. Bebimon delivers a head butt slam into War Angemon's side ribs and delivered an array of punches. War Angemon seemed to be taking a beating. However, in reality, he was merely using extra time to increase his rod's power.
"C'mon! Why don't you hit me back, moron? I guess you've realized that your resistance is futile!"
"Not quite."
"What are you saying?"
"You've just allowed me more time to transfer some of my own energy through this rod. You know what that means?"
"Ugh! I should have know that you would have a strategy in mind."
"Now that you've realized the truth. Why don't I demonstrate?"
With that said, War Angemon swung his rod towards Bebimon. Fortunately, the mutant performed a backward flip and was barely knicked by the rod's tip. War Angemon phases behind Bebimon and punched him in the back. Unfortunately for the warrior, Bebimon phases away. War Angemon turned around to find Bebimon flying off into the distance. He follows right after the mutant.
"Yesh. This might get ugly," Tike calls out from a safe location. "C'mon, dad! You've got him playing chicken!"
"That little coward wants no part of our dad! He's great!" Kara replied with glamour.
"Here I thought that they would always resort to tricks," Mummymon said.
"If you ever bring up that 'tricks' crap, I'm going to send you into the next world, dumbass!" the twins threatened.
"I was just giving my two cents on the matter. You don't have to go bite my head off…"
"Shut it. Man, They're moving around so fast!" Tike exclaimed.
"You're right. I can barely keep up with them!" said Kara. "Get him, dad!"
War Angemon leaps backwards as he started scaling a nearby rock cliff. Bebimon goes flying off after his adversary and shoots out numerous eye beams. War Angemon deflected each shot with his rod. The mutant digimon slapped away each blast and watched them slam into the earth with tremendous force. The warriors quickly phased out from sight.
"Unbelievable! It's only been five years since T.K. has been involved in a major battle," Henry thought. "But, he's taking Bebimon like a pro. He and Patamon have barely had proper time to train. I wonder whether he has even more inner strength that he hasn't bothered to use. His maneuvers are off the scale."
"Yo, Henry? Why are you so zoned out all of a sudden?"
"Then again, Bebimon could be restraining his own power until T.K. loses fatigue. Maybe I'm just looking into this a little too far. T.K. might even have this in the bag."
"Um, Henry. Maybe you ought get back to reality. Hello?"
Bebimon chuckled as he landed on top of a wrecked car. War Angemon reappears on the ledge of a collapsed building. There was suddenly a clapping noise from the background. Bebimon was the source of the clapping.
"Magnificent I must say. You're really at the top of your game, warrior."
"Well, I know you aren't on top of yours. Quit being lazy. Let's get this over with. I don't have time to be talking with a freak who claims to be a body snatcher."
"What's the matter with body snatching? I find it fun. I love to torture those from within."
"You're getting so damn annoying. I'm shutting that mouth of yours for good."
"So be it. Just remember this. I have been holding back this entire time."
"You're lying. You aren't even bothering to give it your all. Don't even try those head games crap with me. It won't work."
War Angemon takes a stance with the rod in his hand. A sinister grin forms on the mutant's face. War Angemon felt a ki rising from Bebimon and noticed his hands coated with bright auras. The angel warrior leaps back, but was unable to avoid a massive blast that Bebimon unleashed.
"Damn! What a blast! He wasn't lying after all!"
"I told you not to underestimate me, fool. I wasn't holding back. Now you shall die!"
War Angemon cries out while the blast sent him crashing through several rock walls. Tike and Kara looked on with horrified glares. Gargomon snatched up Henry and pushed him away from any possible harm.
(End theme)
"T.K.!!" Henry calls out.
"Dad!!"
"That's it, Henry! I'm going in! Looks like we'll be needing Rapidmon!"
"Yes! Go!"
With a battle cry, Gargomon charged out towards the battlegrounds and was coated with a bright aura. Henry immediately slashed a blue card through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Matrix Digivolution!!"
MATRIX EVOLUTION
"Gargomon chou shinka!! Rapidmon!!"
(Play The Biggest Dreamer theme w/o lyrics) The green-armored cyborg rabbit flew towards the distance and faced off with Bebimon. The mutant grinned as he easily recognized Terriermon's ki from the newly evolved ultimate.
"Ah, if it isn't the rabbit."
"You ran away from our little round. I say we begin where we left off, bub."
"Fine, if it pleases you so."
"Here's a little way of me saying thank you! Rapid Fire!"
Rapidmon fires away numerous missiles from his arm cannons and targeted for the mutant. Bebimon puts his hands out and stopped each missile. One by one, they exploded while in midair. Rapidmon follows out Bebimon at every direction. Frustrated, the cyborg fired every possible missile within his arsenal. Bebimon showed little effort by maneuvering from each shot.
"He's too fast!" Henry cried out. "Rapidmon! Watch your back!"
Bebimon phases behind Rapidmon and delivers a fist to his exposed back. The cyborg rabbit is sent plummeting towards the earth. That is until Bebimon reappeared below. The mutant greeted Rapidmon with a ki force. Rapidmon is sent soaring into the heavens.
"Ah, shit! Rapidmon is getting creamed out there!" Tike cried out. "C'mon, get it together! You could at least get up, dad!"
"Were is dad? We just might have to step in and help them," Kara stated.
"You two are supposed to stay put. Besides, I think he'll pull through. He's been through tougher foes than this little freak," Mummymon assured them. "At least, I hope…"
(End theme)
Suddenly, the trio was caught off guard as a spiral-blast. It came hurtling towards Bebimon and made its complete mark. Rapidmon looked across to find the source of the blast. He found Leomon and Pikkan levitating over the horizon.
"Hey, is everyone all right?!" Leomon calls out.
"Hey! It's Leomon!" Henry exclaimed.
"Whew! Thank goodness!" Kara said. "You two came in the nick of time."
Leomon flew over to where Rapidmon was, while Pikkan looked down to find War Angemon struggling to make it to his feet. Coming out from the smoke, Bebimon was completely unscathed.
"Hmph. So there are more nuisances. Ah, it's the Alterian and a Leomon."
"Finally, you've exposed yourself, fiend," Leomon said with a growl. "There's absolutely no escape for you."
"Let's waste him now, before he becomes a bigger problem," Pikkan stated. "We can't afford to let him escape."
"We'll take care of everything from here, you two," Leomon replied. "Stand aside. Rapidmon, that even includes you."
"Dang. I don't even get a taste of sweet revenge. All right, but I get the last licks on this guy."
Rapidmon flew down next to Henry and witnessed the handicap showdown ensuing. Leomon and Pikkan flew out towards Bebimon with tenacity. Pikkan threw out an array of ki blasts towards Bebimon and each shot made their mark. Leomon followed it up with a Fist of the Beast King maneuver. The combined efforts were enough to maim Bebimon. Leomon formed a large sphere and hurls it at the mutant. Bebimon dodged to the side, but would soon learn that was a mistake on his part. Leomon pulls his arms back and forces the sphere back. Bebimon turns and is met with a shot to the face.
"Whoo! Way to go!" Tike cheered on. "You've got that punk reeling!"
"I don't think they're finished yet. Take a look!" Kara replied.
Pikkan slams his fists together and unleashes a powerful electric wave, which caught Bebimon and paralyzed him. The beast lion took advantage of the situation and slashes his body in half with his sword. Cries echoed as the mutant was sent plummeting in two halves.
"Now to put him away for good," Pikkan bellowed out. "Thunder Flash Attack!!"
"Fist of the Beast King!!"
The warriors' techniques merged together into a single blast. Bebimon managed to sit up and was staring towards the massive blast. The blast slams into the earth and its force engulfs Bebimon. A massive explosion incinerates portions of the district and was covered by a bright flash of light. Slowly, but surely, the flash faded away and it revealed the destructive force of the blast. Lying on the surface was a massive crater. The mutant was nowhere to be found. Everyone took a good look over the impact crater and sighed a relief.
"We did it. That required nearly all of our minimum power," Pikkan said. "I say we find T.K. within this rubble and get him some help. I'm sure that monster did him plenty of damage."
"Yes, he took that blast and there's no doubt he sustained injuries," replied Leomon.
"Hey, Leomon! Pikkan! We have to find my dad!" Tike calls out. "He must be buried underneath the debris!"
"Hey, look! There's something moving underneath that rubble!" Kara exclaimed while pointing down at building debris.
"It's him! Bebimon's survived!" Mummymon cried out. "Hurry! Kill him!"
"No, wait. It's not Bebimon," Henry pointed out. "It's T.K.!"
Everyone turned their attention to the fallen building debris. Finally merging, War Angemon let out a sigh and looked at his surroundings. There was no energy signal from Bebimon. It was evident that the mutant was done in by the combined efforts of Pikkan and Leomon.
"It's dad! He's safe!" the twins exclaimed in unison. "We did it! We sent that creep to the next zone!"
"We… beat him? Wow, but who finished the job?"
"Don't you know?" Henry asked. "Pikkan and Leomon came at the last minute. They took care of that creature. Though, this district will have to be rebuilt, again. It's such a shame."
"Yeah. No kidding," muttered Rapidmon. "It really sucks for those construction workers."
"That's great to hear. Why don't we go and tell Tai about this once he gets back. Maybe he'll know about this Bebimon guy. After all, he was asking for him."
"Was he?" Leomon asked. "Well, it doesn't matter anymore. He's done with. Pikkan, our job here is finished."
"Oh is it?" War Angemon said with a chuckle. "Or perhaps you should have done a better job!"
With that said, War Angemon flies above Leomon and Pikkan. He puts his arms across his chest and releases an array of dark ki blasts. The raining shots immobilized the warriors. Tike and Kara were completely caught in complete shock at the events.
"What?! What the hell is dad doing?! Hey, don't you think you're taking this too seriously?" Tike calls out. "They only came to help."
"Dad's ego is really getting to him," Kara muttered. "Hey, cut it out!"
"T.K.! Stop this! Don't take it out on them! Please, I implore you!" Henry pleaded.
"Henry. I'm sensing a dark ki from T.K. You can call me crazy, but it's true," replied Rapidmon.
"Say what?! T.K.! What is going on?!"
War Angemon immediately stopped his attack on the duo and focused his attention on Henry. An evil grin forms on the angelic warrior's face. His voice suddenly became raspy and similar to Bebimon's. In fact, Bebimon had now possessed War Angemon.
"No! It can't be! It's Bebimon! Bebimon has taken over T.K.'s body!" Henry warned everyone.
"Bebimon?! But that's impossible! We destroyed him," Pikkan said while struggling to his feet.
"You're partially correct, dear Alterian," the Bebimon-possessed digimon said. "When you and Leomon used your combo attack, a tiny entity of my body managed to survive and took refuge within this body. Poor Takeru did not suspect a thing. Heh, heh."
"You… you bastard! You took my dad's body against his will!" Tike cursed. "I'm going to kill you!"
"Tike! No!"
Despite his sister's cries, Tike defied any warning and charged at his possessed father. War Angemon turned around and shot a ki blast that knocked the boy away. Responding to the attack on her brother, Kara immediately flew down and caught Tike.
"That boy happens to be Takeru's son. So that girl has to be his daughter! Don't worry kiddies. I'm not after you, yet. I just need to take your father's body on a test drive."
"Not as long as we're here to stop you!" Pikkan exclaimed.
"Release T.K. now! That body isn't yours to take!" Leomon demanded.
"Shoot, I'm more than ready to blast this creep to smithereens!" Rapidmon said.
War Angemon quickly put his hands together and positions them in front. He targeted for the trio challenging his authority.
"So be it. You three are weak compared to this superior warrior! It's time to take out the trash! Seven Heavens Blast!!"
The angelic warrior unleashed a massive energy wave and sent it towards the trio. Rapidmon pushes Henry away and was immediately caught in the blast. Pikkan and Leomon were much too weakened to recover. As a result, they were also caught in the blast. Their screams echoed while the blast plummeted through the earth and created another explosion.
"No! Leomon! Pikkan!" Kara cried out.
"He… He's done them in!" Mummymon stuttered through chattering teeth. "He's going to kill us all!"
"Rapidmon! No!" Henry cried out.
As the smoke cleared away, it revealed a deep crater that covered nearly the entire wide span of the district. Lying deep within the crater were the conscious forms of Pikkan, Leomon and Terriermon. Henry found Terriermon's unconscious form and slid down the crater to rush over to his fallen partner. War Angemon chuckled at the destruction he left in the wake.
"Well, my job here is finished. I have no use for these weaklings. Now I'll focus my attention on finding the strongest warrior within this realm," Bebimon said within War Angemon's thoughts. "Yes. Here I come, Yamato. Don't you go anywhere."
Tike's ears perked when he heard his possessed father mention the name of Matt. The boy sits up and is met with a hug from his sister.
"Thank goodness, you all right!"
"Where is he?! The bastard that took over our father's body. Where is he?"
Kara pointed over towards the heavens and allowed her brother to find the location of his father. Suddenly, Tike felt a slight ki power up. War Angemon flies out of the region and over towards the horizon.
"I'm going after him!"
"Tike! No, you can't! He'll end up killing you!"
"I don't care! He's going to pay for what he's done to our dad! Kara, you stay here and tend to our friends' wounds. Pikkan and Leomon took plenty of damage from his attack. Hurry! There's no time to lose…"
"Ok, but you better be careful, Tike."
"Don't worry. I'll be back. Trust me. I will bring back daddy."
Kara gave her brother an assuring nod and runs off towards the crater. Tike looks over to Mummymon with a glare that could kill.
"Mummymon. You better not run off. I want you to stay. My sister could use some help tending to our friends."
"Uh… Yeah. I'm right on it, boy. Don't you worry about a thing. You go and stop that monster."
"I will."
With that said, Tike took off into the skies. The boy flies off with complete determination to restore his father from Bebimon's control.
"You can run, but you can't hide, Bebimon. No ugly bastard is going to take my dad's body for any test drive! I'll take you no contest!"
Deep Within Digital Space.
The twin spaceships were drawing ever so closer towards Shintomon's home sanctuary. It would only be a matter of time before the teams would return home. Tai and Max were especially the most excited. On the other hand, their adventure would come to a close.
As Kari and Davis volunteered to steer the ship, Tai was sitting next to the small dining table. Max walks over to his father and eats away at an apple.
"What's the matter, dad? You seem down."
"I'm just sad that our adventure is ending so soon. But there's something else bothering me. Bebimon. I have a feeling he might be waiting where we least expect him."
"You're letting him get to you, Tai. It's not like you," Agumon said.
"No sweat, dad. If he ever finds us on earth, we'll be sure to stop that puny little rat."
"Yeah, besides. All we need to use is Rika and he'll end up running away," Takato said with a tease.
"Very funny, goggle head."
"I do not blame Tai," Renamon spoke. "We must stay focused. The enemy will be waiting. We can not let our guard down."
"As long as he have the black digicores, we'll use them to hopefully restore your age. That way you can battle Bebimon at full strength," Max assured his father.
"You're right. I shouldn't be worrying over this so much. I should focus more on the digicores. Bebimon will eventually try to capture them. It's my responsibility to keep them safe from his hands."
"Hey, guys! I just wanted to let you know that we're about to arrive on Shintomon's planet in an hour," Kari announced. "We'll be home soon."
"Man, I could use another nap," Davis said with a yawn.
"We'll definitely need it," said Veemon. "This trip took forever."
"Good and we'll be home safely," Tai thought. "But why am I feeling a little nervous? Is there something that I'm not aware of? Nah, I'm just a little paranoid. There's nothing to be so worked up over. Ah, home sweet home."
Earth. Outskirts of the Shinjuku/Tokyo city district.
War Angemon boosted his flight speed while covering most to the landscape outside of the entire Tokyo city district. He smirked while examining his own body.
"Perfect, this body is letting me read energy signals from far off locations. I'll be sure to find Yamato sooner or later."
Unfortunately, he felt another energy level from close by. War Angemon immediately stopped and spotted Tike flying towards him.
"Well, if it isn't the little brat."
"Bebimon! Hey, asshole! We're not finished yet!"
"Tike, that's your name. According to this vessel's memory, you're his bratty son."
"What's it to you? I'm going to kill you and restore my father to normal!"
"Ha! That's a laugh. Do you really think you have what it takes to beat me, boy?"
"Don't tempt me!"
(Play Drowning Pool's Step Up from the The Punisher soundtrack)
The boy flies over towards War Angemon and went for a punch, but War Angemon dodged away. The possessed warrior delivers a knee hard into Tike's exposed gut knocking the wind out of him. War Angemon grabbed Tike's hair and delivers numerous punches to his face. Each punch made their mark and left bruises on the boy's face. War Angemon stopped his relentless assault and tossed the boy aside. Tike's body started to plummet towards the ground. Suddenly, the boy emerged with new life and prevents his fall with a levitation technique.
"Bebimon! Why did you have to go and steal my dad's body?! Are you too afraid to fight me alone?! You damn coward!"
Tike charges out in flight against War Angemon and unleashed a barrage of ki shots. Unfortunately for him, War Angemon dodged each shot and noticed the boy losing his own composure. It was a rookie's mistake on the boy's part. War Angemon took advantage of his son and fires his own ki blast. Tike managed to see it coming and maneuvers away.
"Nice dodge there, kid. You won't be so lucky in the long run."
With incredible speed, War Angemon launches himself at Tike and delivers a fist into the boy's stomach. Tike spat out some blood as a result of the fist's impact. A battle rod materializes in War Angemon's hand and he immediately slams it against Tike's spine. The tiny warrior screamed out with agony from the pain ensuing through his injured back. Despite the threshold of pain, Tike gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"You're not even worth my time anymore, boy. I'm after Yamato. You're no concern of mine. Now, stay out of my business."
"No way… You're not getting anywhere near Uncle Matt… Not happening…"
"If you would have simply stayed down, we wouldn't have come to this."
Tike barely struggled to even remain afloat in the air and held his throbbing stomach. He had absolutely no chance against his fully powered father, let alone one possessed by a crafty mutant.
"How should I do away with you? Possess your body or kill you? You could easily be a servant of mine. Why waste on future talent?"
"Me serve you? I'd rather eat shit than serve a creep like you…"
"Such a mouth there, kid. Once I've converted you to my clan, you're mouth shall be purified and you will truly be an obedient son."
"Never call me your son, monster! Takeru is my real father! Don't speak to me like I'm your son! I'm not your son!!"
With that said, Tike screamed out like never before. His body intensified with sudden rage and sadness. War Angemon felt the boy's ki rising rapidly. He couldn't believe that such a boy possessed such great power.
"Impossible, where is this boy getting so much power?! He should be weakening!"
"Idiot. You forgot that my father and mother are fusion warriors."
"You're mother. Her name is Hikari, isn't it?"
"That's right. You know my family well."
"No wonder you've gained such a power up. You inherited their strength!"
"Wow, you're a fast learner. I suppose I ought to knock some more sense into you!"
Tike phases out and caught War Angemon off guard with a fist to his gut. War Angemon gasped out with pain while covering his throbbing chest. Tike leaps back and immediately phases out. The possessed angel turned around and was met with by a kick to his groin. War Angemon let out a horrifying cry while holding his manhood.
"Serves you right for taking my dad's body!"
"No… Can't control this body for long… Must escape… Looks like I've found my newest host!"
"Say what?!"
Tike looked on as a silver slime-like capsule emerged through War Angemon's left ear. War Angemon's body plummeted towards the forest grounds. The boy flew back as the capsule started taking the shape of a gooey mass. Like the rookie that he was, Tike was too quick to judge and fired away a massive ki blast towards the slime.
"Now's my chance to take over his body!"
The gooey mass opened up a hole and allowed the blast to penetrate through the hole. Tike gasped as the mass took the shape of the alien's face. The ooze mass attached itself over Tike and engulfed him almost immediately. Everything went completely black through Tike's mind. His screams echoed throughout the forest landscape. Now Tike had become the next victim of Bebimon's rampage. The mutant himself possessed Tike.

Tike opened his eyes and took a glance at his surroundings. His widened mouth slowly crept into a sinister grin. He clenched his fists and chuckled under Bebimon's raspy voice.
"Oh yes. This body has unlimited power. It's completely fresh and young. I'll definitely gain more efficient energy from a younger body rather than an older one. I should be able to still detect the presence of Yamato. Yes, I can. He's close. It's only a matter of time."
Tike levitates down to where War Angemon had fallen and hoisted him onto his right shoulder. The boy was rather strong to lift a grown warrior like War Angemon with ease. Finally, he sets off into the horizon and flies off to Odaiba. He had a plan set in motion.
Leaving destruction in his wake, Bebimon has defeated some of earth's strongest digimon forces. He's already possessed War Angemon and has now taken refuge within little Tike. He plans on converting every human to his side. What does he hope to accomplish by finding Matt? Will he eventually possess his body? Hurry Tai! You and the others have to get home as soon as possible!

[Preview]
Tai: Hi, everyone! It's me, Tai! We finally made it on Shintomon's planet and ready to return home.
Takato: Before we do, Bebimon takes over Tike's body and eventually finds Matt!
Bebimon: At last, we meet, Yamato. You look so much like the monster who helped destroy my race. Cyrus was that heartless man. You shall be punished, as I will take over your body!
Matt: Feh. Just give me everything you've got!
Takuya: Once we return home, we're not given the hero's welcome treatment. Now the whole world is against us?!
Max: But how is this possible?!
Tai: I knew Bebimon was going to hit us harder than we could ever imagine. You're going to regret this, pal!
Zoe: Next episode is entitled…
A Mutant's Ambition: Metalla X Possessed?! A Worldwide Problem!
Bebimon: Welcome home, Taichi! Not quite the welcoming committee you were expecting, huh?
Kanius: Whew, another long ass chapter completed. I'm really going to have to crank these up. I want to get the Bebimon Saga rewrite done as soon as possible. I want to get read to write those two last sagas that have yet to grace the Digimon Fusion series. I'd like to thank everyone for their patience. Now time for me to work on the next Pharaohmon chapter! Peace!
