Kanius: Hi, my loyal readers! Wow, it's already been a week since I posted a chapter? We're already on the third chapter of the Bebimon Saga. Already, he has possessed TK and Tike. Will he eventually capture Matt's body? You'll just have to find out. . Enjoy the chapter!
[Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!!" plays]
A Mutant's Ambition: Metalla X Possessed?! A Worldwide Problem!
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.
Odaiba District. Ishida Residence
Miles away from where the battle ensued, the city district of Odaiba was peaceful and has not become victimized by invading digimon for years. This was the hometown of the original eight Digi-Destined and once terrorized by Myotismon years ago.
Even to this day, some of those Digi-Destined still reside in this city. This includes both the Kamiya and Ishida families.
Working around the garden of their backyard, an older Mimi was watering a flower garden along with her partner, Palmon. Mimi smiled and placed her sunhat over her strawberry-blonde hair. The beautiful afternoon skies shone over her majestic garden. In Palmon's case, she had to moist her body from the hot climate.
"Whew. Hey, Mimi. Why don't we take a break? My roots are just about to molt away."
"Sure. Tell you what. We can have some lemonade. How about it?"
"How could I refuse?"
Mimi walked inside a two-story home, which looked similar to a beach resort. She finds a tray with glasses of lemonade. She takes the tray and walks back out with the tray of lemonade glasses.
"Oh goody! Lemonade!"
Just as Mimi was about to place the tray onto the outdoor table, Palmon runs over and snatched up her drink with exaggeration. She then immediately gulped down her drink. Mimi was appalled by her digimon's manners.
"Palmon! You really need to work on those manners. I mean, really!"
"Sorry, Mimi. I was thirsty. I haven't had anything to drink since this morning. This stinking heat is really taking a lot out of me."
"Oh quit complaining. I had to be taking care of flowers all day. You think I enjoy sweating on a Sunday afternoon? My ideal Sunday is sitting back and watching my favorite shows."
Suddenly, Mimi heard a knock and walks back inside. Palmon sat back on a chair with a satisfied look on her face. Mimi walks up to the door and peeks through the door hole. It was Sora and Biyomon from the view. The blonde woman opened the door and allowed the guests into her home.
"Sora! Long time no see!"
"You're a real fight for sore eyes, Mimi. We just decided to stop by."
"You're welcome here anytime, Sora. I really appreciate the company."
Sora walked inside with Biyomon following her side. She turned and saw Mimi with a distraught look.
"What's wrong, Mimi?"
"I've just been so damn lonely these past couple of days."
"I know what you mean. I'm beginning to worry about Tai and Max. Those two have a real knack of leaving home and setting up their own crazy adventure. Then again, they love to explore the world. How is Kari going to put up with them?"
"I just hope my Keke will be all right. Sundays are always fun when she and I go shopping or water the flowers together."
"You know something? I've noticed a little thing between my little Max and your Keke."
"Huh? Like what? What are you getting at?"
"Well, my son really likes your daughter. They've become a little closer and don't see each other as friends that much anymore."
"You're saying… they love each other? Is that where are you getting at?"
"Max promised that he would do anything to please your little Keke. He deeply cares for her. I think sooner or later, they'll become a couple like Tai and myself."
"You really think so? Now that you mention it. Max is the only guy Keke ever talks and dreams about. You're right! I think they would be so adorable together!" Mimi said with a giggle.
"I'm glad you approve of this, but what about Matt?"
The name immediately struck Mimi as she lowered her head. Sora knew something was wrong and he didn't like the fact that a friend of hers was emotionally distraught.
"Did you two get into a fight?"
"No. It's nothing like that. In fact, we hardly ever argue like we used to. Back when villains were attacking the planet, he's always had the sheer desire to surpass your husband. He craved nothing more than to be the strongest digital warrior. Eventually, he did admit that Tai was far superior to him. These past five years have been great. We've been blessed with two children and it looks like Matt was becoming one heck of a fatherly figure. But now… there's nothing but peace. He's distanced myself from me. This isn't doing Dimitri and Keke any favors."
Sora hunched over and noticed a few tears pouring down Mimi's face. She placed her hand on the woman's shoulder. Palmon came walking in with a look of sorrow for her long-time partner.
"He's back to the way he was before. He told me that Gabumon sensed some sort of disturbance and went to check out the problem. I have a bad feeling that another monster is coming in between our relationship. I even tried to talk him out of it, but he completely ignores me. He brushed me aside and told me not to interfere. Did I fail as a wife?"
"No, you did not fail as a wife, Mimi. Hell, I never thought you would have turned out to be a wonderful mother. But you are one. You should be happy to have such great children. But, I have to agree with Matt."
"What?"
"Yeah. He only wants to protect you and everyone else with Tai gone. That is why he's out trying to find that monster."
"But why does he ignore me?"
"He's not ignoring you. Matt is simply being focused on the situation. You've been married to him for years. You ought to know how he operates. Matt completely focuses on defeating the enemy until it is dead."
These words from Sora made Mimi tear up so much that she had to wipe those tears away. A bright smile replaced that depressing frown of hers.
"Thank you, Sora."
"Anytime."
"So he does truly care for me. How could I have been such an idiot? He's only protecting the kids and me. Maybe I've been holding back and not showing my true affection for that man. All right, Mimi, you had not better screw up the next time he shows up at the door."
"Now, what do you say we go out to the garden? I'll give you a hand," Sora said.
Mimi nodded in agreement and led Sora through the backdoor into the outdoor garden. Palmon goes walking up to Biyomon as if she were disturbed. In fact, they had felt an alarming ki and it was emitting a dark ki signal.
"You felt that, Palmon?"
"I don't like the looks of this. Should we tell Sora and Mimi?"
"No. It doesn't seem much of a problem now. We'll get to the bottom of this later."
"You think Tai and the others encountered this creature that Matt is looking for?"
"Probably, but we'll be on alert."
"Right."
"Palmon. I'll go alert Pikkan or anyone available. You stay here and keep an eye out for this new enemy."
Palmon gave an assuring nod to Biyomon and hurried back into the flower garden. Biyomon closed her eyes and immediately sent a direct telepathic link to the Alterian. Every one of the digimon was taught this technique by Pikkan as a means to communicate faster.
"Pikkan. This is Biyomon. Can you hear me? This is an emergency/"
After a few brief moments of silence, Biyomon was unable to get a direct link with the Alterian.
"What? I can't a direct link with Pikkan. I wonder if he was attacked by the enemy. Ok, then. I'll send a signal to Leomon."
Biyomon immediately sends a direct signal to Leomon through telepathic means. Unfortunately, she couldn't get a link with the brave beast either.
"Darn. This enemy must have gotten to Leomon, too. We're not dealing with any small enemy. We're in serious trouble."
"Hey… What is it? This is Pikkan…"
The Alterian had somehow managed to retrieve Biyomon's message and responded as soon as he could. Biyomon responds back to Pikkan, who seemed to be out of it since his confrontation with Bebimon.
"Pikkan. We've got a situation with…"
"With Bebimon? We just fought that little creep! He managed to escape through. Be on the look out. He's possessed TK's body! This bastard somehow is finding Yamato. You have to be on the look out for him. You can't let Bebimon take your body."
"I agree."
"I'll go around and check all over the city and let the others know ahead of time. I'm not as heavily injured as Leomon. I think I can manage. You and Palmon stay with your partners. Sora and Mimi need to be protected at all costs."
"By the way, have you even seen Matt and Gabumon?"
"Metalla X? Yeah, he's been focused on this new enemy. I'll look for him when I can. You do your part and I'll do mine. Got it?"
"Yes. Thank you. Good luck and be careful"
With that said, Biyomon immediately cut off her telepathic link and walked back towards the flower garden to meet with Palmon.
"So what's up, Biyomon? What did he have to say?"
"We have to stay and keep our guard out."
"Ok, then. What happened though?"
"Pikkan and Leomon had a confrontation with the enemy. Let's just say that they didn't have any luck. Pikkan is still available and he'll be looking for the enemy."
"That's good to know."
"However, this enemy is a body snatcher. Pikkan told me that it has possessed TK's body, but I'm sure that body snatcher has already found another body by now."
"Either way, we have to stay alert."
The digimon nodded to each other assumingly. They stood guard while Sora and Mimi were working over the flower garden. Despite Bebimon's whereabouts, it didn't seem that the ladies were in any paranoia. However, they will soon realize that the creature wasn't to be taken so lightly.
Shinjuku. Katou Residence
Pikkan rose out from his resting bed while grasping his right shoulder. Jeri throws her arms around the Alterian and tugged on his arm.
"Where you going, Pikkan?"
"I have to go."
"But you can't. You have injuries needed to be healed. It's time that you rest."
"Jeri, there's a maniac out there in Takeru's body. There's no telling if he's going to body snatch everyone we care for. Damn it. That little bastard is going down hard!" the Alterian growled while smashing his fists together.
"Pikkan…"
"Don't you worry about me. You stay and heal Leomon's wounds. He took quite an ass kicking."
"I'm surprised you're able to walk."
"That's the whole idea of being an Alterian. It's going to take a lot to put this bad boy down."
"Just do me one favor."
"Yes?"
Jeri walks over and lightly strokes his large ears. The Alterian enjoyed every bit of it until a smirk forms on his face.
"Ok, I get it, Jeri."
"Make sure you come back in one piece. Take that jerk apart!"
Before opening Jeri's window, he turned around and gave her an assuring nod. The Alterian flies out through the open window and finally out into the open skies. He closed his eyes while attempting to pick up any strong energy signals. He immediately sensed an evil ki traveling at a fast rate towards Odaiba.
"There he is! I've sensed that evil ki from that little bastard! He's managed to possess another body, but who? I don't sense anything from Takeru. This is bad. Damn it! You better say your freaking prayers, Bebimon! Cause I'm coming to kick your ass!"
With an immediate explosion of ki, Pikkan boosted his speed and flies out into the far distance. He followed Bebimon's ki towards Odaiba. The Alterian will have to hurry before the parasite sets his sights on the original Digi-Destined. Without Tai and company around to defend their hometown, it was up to Pikkan and/or Metalla X to stand up to the new enemy.
Odaiba District. Ishida Residence
Unfortunately for Pikkan, he was too late. A familiar tiny figure came landing in front of Mimi's home. The figure revealed himself to be the Bebimon-possessed Tike.He immediately suppressed his ki and removed the wicked smirk off of his face. Despite carrying War Angemon on his right shoulder, the boy walks towards the door and knocks on it.
Mimi responded to the door knock and hunched over to her partner, Palmon.
"Palmon. Do you think you can get the door for me?"
"Sure."
With that said, Palmon goes running back inside the house and headed down to the front door. She opens it and was surprised to see Tike with War Angemon on his right shoulder. Palmon was hesitant after what Biyomon told her, but was unable to pick up any dark ki from Tike or War Angemon. Bebimon was successfully suppressing his evil ki within Tike.
"Oh my goddramon! What happened to you two? Please, come on in!"
"Thanks, Palmon. We've just had an encounter with that creature. We survived and I made sure he left my dad's body," Tike said while putting on an innocent act. "Damn, I never knew my dad punched so hard."
"I'm sure he did. Where is that creature?"
"He got away. I couldn't even catch up to him."
"Ok, you stay right here. I'll go get the others."
Tike nodded and carried his unconscious father over to a large red couch. Palmon walked back outside the garden and calls out to her friends.
"Mimi! Sora! Biyomon! Get in here quick!"
The trio heard Palmon's call and hurried back inside. They gasped as they saw Tike laying War Angemon on the couch.
"What happened to you two?!" Mimi screeched. "Tike, your face!"
"I know, Aunt Mimi. We just had a run-in with that creature in Shinjuku. Don't worry. I've already gotten used to punches to the face. Kara and I have been sparring. Her punches hurt like a punch."
Sora hurries over to the little boy and checked him for any possible injuries. Mimi kneeled over to War Angemon's side. Biyomon and Palmon were starting to get an uneasy feeling from Tike's presence. Tike looked over to the digimon pair and gave them a frown.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Palmon muttered to the pink bird.
"I do," Biyomon replied.
"Shit! Those two are getting suspicious about my presence! It's only a matter of time before I end this game of chirades soon," Bebimon said through Tike's thoughts.
"Sora. We really need to call the others," Mimi said. "TK's condition is not looking well. He's burning up!"
"All right. I'm going to call the hospital. Tike. You and I will go call the others over."
"Sure. No problem."
Just then, much to everyone's surprise, Metalla X arrived from the front door. He looked across everyone and immediately felt a dark presence. It seemed Bebimon was ready to attack him at any given cost. Tike turned to face Matt's fused form and sensed an even stronger power from the warrior of friendship.
"Yes! Now that's what I call power! I've finally found you, Yamato. It's time for me to end this little game."
Bebi-Tike reverted to his wicked side and pushes Sora away. Metalla X responded to the boy's evil ki and powers up.
"Hey! What's the meaning of this, Tike?! I'm not about to let any disobedient boys in my house! Now apologize to Sora!"
"Shut your mouth, you nagging bitch!" Tike spat out.
"What?! How dare you! You will show your elders respect, young man! Now let Aunt Mimi washes that mouth out!"
"You! Warrior!" Tike exclaimed towards Metalla X. "Your body is the one I am looking for. Now surrender it to me, Yamato."
"Heh, so you're the famous body snatcher I've been hearing about," chuckled Metalla X. "How did you manage to escape everyone? You're better than I gave you credit for. You managed to capture the body of my younger brother and now you take over my nephew's body. You've managed to capture one hell of a power. But really… Do you think you can take me? I think not."
"Show me what you've got, human! Let's settle this outside!"
"Just lead the way, parasite."
As soon as he said that, Metalla X flies out into the open skies away from the house. Bebimon-possessed Tike was following close behind Metalla X. The two faced each other off without taking their attention off of one another.
Meanwhile, Mimi and the digimon ran over to Sora's side. Biyomon huddled close to the red-haired woman with concern.
"Sora! Sora! Oh no! That boy! She's been pushed down so hard that she's already unconscious. I knew those kids shouldn't have started to take those damn martial arts," Mimi growled.
"Mom! What's going on?" another boy's voice calls out from down the hallway.
"Dimitri! Get me some alcohol revival."
"Ok, right away!" Dimitri responded. "What is going on here? Why am I suddenly feeling a weird sensation?"
"Biyomon. Has the fight started?" Palmon asked.
"No, it hasn't even begun. They're starting to talk to each other, but about what?"
Metalla X had a serious glare on his face while Bebimon-Tike stood his ground. Both immediately powered up with bright auras surrounding their bodies. The warrior of friendship immediately broke the sudden moment of silence by starting the conversation.
"Tell me, parasite. What are you doing here? What do you want from us? You must have a reason for this lame excuse of body snatching. Not like I care, but I'm curious."
Bebimon-Tike chuckled to the warrior's rant and crossed his arms. He managed to speak out using Bebimon's voice, which finally indicated that the parasite was in complete control of the boy.
"All right. Since you're dying to know, I might as well tell you. First, allow me to introduce myself. I am Bebimon."
"That's nice, but I say you're name is Shit. That suites you better."
"Such a dirty mouth coming from such an 'honorable warrior'. As I was saying, my name is not 'exploitative deleted', but it is Bebimon. I was apart of an ancient digital race known as the Tufflesurians. We were once a peaceful race, which created and invented highly technological weapons and civilizations at our disposal. We were considered pioneers of our time on our former home planet called Plant. We came close to perfecting the dream utopia reserved for our race. We lived peacefully until one day… One day, a disgusting race of worms known as humans came to our planet to destroy our home!"
"Humans, you say?"
"Yes, there were five humans with extraordinary powers. The Digital Knights somehow sent them. The one human that helped to lead to the downfall of our race was that damn Cyrus. I remember as if it were yesterday. He ruthlessly slaughtered my people. He claimed that he was given 'orders' to cause our extinction. Our technology couldn't even help defend us against these invaders. You know why I remember? Because I was once the king of that planet. I witnessed my own people die at the hands of those human bastards. I was nearly killed, but a fellow Tufflesurian scientist helped to preserve my blood cells before my alleged death. Those cells were sealed within a capsule and were cast away into the farthest regions of space. Luckily, I found another suitable planet. Using their own technology, I created machine mutants to terraform the planet into the M-5 planet. My precious machines created a suitable test tube in order to preserve my body. Over time, those cells grew and developed into a mutant. I eventually became Bebimon. Eventually, my machines created Dr. Myuumon. He ensured that my development would turn out to be a success. His responsibility was to capture energy from a Digital World within the western sector of the digtal galaxy. In time, power was collected from a bunch of powerful warriors. You might know one of them as Taichi."
"So, you've met Tai? That makes a whole lot of sense, Bebimon. You're lucky that he didn't destroy you the first time he had the chance."
"Yes, he was a naive fool. He thought that I was dead, but was he ever so inaccurate. As far as my development as concerned, my newly born form wouldn't be suitable without a body host. By body snatching, I can allow my form to develop and grow. I acquire the energy of humans and digimon to complete my evolution. I never knew I would run into hybrids such as yourself. Digital warriors… You are the perfect source of energy. By taking over your brother's body, I successfully garnered enough energy suitable for my evolution. It speeds up the process so to speak. Now, I shall extract my revenge on humans for wiping out my race. You, Yamato. You bear a close resemblance to Cyrus. Because of that, I've chosen to claim your body. I'll use you as a step to my conquest of vengeance upon the human race. Rather to destroy humans, I'll simply put them under my control. I'll recreate my own utopia, which was destroyed once before."
After Bebimon explained his background story, Metalla X simply chuckled under his breath. He was obviously amused, yet was annoyed by the creature's story.
"Well, that's nice to know. Unfortunately for you, I'm here to stamp out your plans. I'm going to blow you to bits. You won't even stand a chance against me. You better say your prayers."
"Idiot. With this body, I can move freely from your attacks. I am so small that you won't even catch me. Tell me. You wouldn't kill your own nephew now, would you?" Bebimon-Tike taunted the warrior.
"You're not my nephew. Now get out of his body. You'll pay for laying your hands on my family!"
With that said, Metalla X quickly powered up into his second ascension form. Streaks of electricity streaked over his body. He clenched his fists and cups both of his hands in front of him. Bebimon-Tike was prepared for his attack as he crossed his arms. But just as Metalla X was about to launch his attack, an energy blast came shooting out of nowhere. The warrior responds to the blast and incinerates it with his aura. Metalla X turned around to find War Angemon and noticed an evil smirk on his young brother's chagrin.
"TK! What the hell is the meaning of this? I knew you had bad aim, but this is ridiculous. You're son has been possessed by the body snatcher."
War Angemon continues to blast away at Metalla X, but was unable to maim his older brother. Metalla X phases away from each shot being fired towards his direction. He couldn't quite understand why his own brother was attacking him.
"What is this? Some kind of sick joke?"
"Ha! You just don't get it, do you, Yamato?"
The warrior faced Bebimon-Tike, who was laughing hysterically.
"Everytime I have possessed a body, I have complete control of that individual. I leave an egg within their brain and it enables me to gain complete control over their free will. Think of them as my personal puppets. Your brother and nephew were merely guinea pigs in my experiment. The same goes with every human and digimon I've previously possessed.
"Your quite the character," said Metalla X. "But you have no right to take away the free will of a human being. The same applies to digimon. You're trying too much to play like god."
"As far as I'm concerned, I will be god. Now make it easier on yourself and simply surrender your body to me. We don't want anymore violence to ensue."
Metalla X laughed hysterically at the Tufflesurian's demands and boosts his power level. Mimi looks on from her window with a smile.
"Go for it, Matt! Knock some sense into that boy!"
Bebimon-Tike came flying at Metalla X, but only managed to strike open air. The warrior of friendship appears behind Bebimon-Tike and elbows him in the back with a double-edge elbow shot. The Tufflesurian is sent plummeting down towards the earth.
"Time to end this crap, Bebimon. Now say help to everyone we've killed down in limbo."
But just as he was about to put the finishing touches to Bebimon-Tike, War Angemon flies up at Metalla X and attempted an uppercut. Metalla X saw the assault coming and flies away from being nailed. He sends a blast at War Angemon, but realized Bebimon-Tike had vanished from sight. He turns around to find Bebimon-Tike slashing his arm with a knife. Metalla X wrenched from the slash while holding his wounded arm. Now with an open opportunity, Bebimon-Tike released a silver seed. The seed was in actuality Bebimon, who had transmuted his form into the shape of a seed. The Bebimon seed entered through Metalla X's open cut wound.
"Yamato!! No!!" Mimi screamed in horror.
The warrior felt a burning essence flowing through his body while screaming out in agony. A bright aura consumed his body as his eyes started to transform. They had lost their pure, heavenly blue and taken a more crimson color. His hair started to turn into from blonde to pure silver and his muscles bulged into massive size.
"No!! Get out of my body you bastard!! I will not allow you to take my it!!"
"Yes! I have found the perfect body! I am now free to exploit my power's true maximum!"
The Bebimon-possessed Metalla X levitates onto the ground. He walks over to the fallen Tike and places a hand out over him. Slowly but surely, Tike responds and rises from the ground. His eyes were emitting a crimson glow much like Metalla X. War Angemon kneels before Metalla X as a show of respect.
"Yes, my fellow Tufflesurians. You are among the first of my fleet. We shall spread the essence of my seeds throughout this planet. We'll start with the pathetic humans staring before us."
With that said, Bebimon-Metalla X turned completely around facing Mimi and Sora. A twisted smirk formed on the warrior's face. He pointed out towards the ladies and thus ordered War Angemon to stop them.
"Make sure that they are planted with my seeds. They will make excellent servants of mine."
"Yes, Bebimon!"
Palmon snatched Mimi by her arm and quickly drags out of the house through the backdoor. Meanwhile, Biyomon attempted to pull up Sora with all of her strength, but to no avail.
"C'mon, Sora! We have to get out of here! Matt's already been taken over by that creature. Let's go!"
"Wh-What happened? I remember Tike pushed me down and everything went black…"
"There's no time for that, Sora! We have to get out of here!"
Unfortunately, they were too late as War Angemon stopped Mimi and Palmon. Their screams were heard from the outside. Sora's eyes widened in utter fear as she watched Mimi and Palmon collapse onto the ground unconsciously.
"Don't worry, Sora. You won't even feel a single ounce of pain," a sinister voice spoke from the background.
Biyomon quickly turned around and prepared to attack. Metalla X shot out his right arm and grasped the pink bird around her neck. Biyomon struggled to break free, but not until Metalla X planted a silver-skinned seed through her head. The seed melted and was absorbed through her skin.
"What the hell are you doing to her?!" Sora screamed in anger.
"Like I said: No pain. Now, become one with the Tufflesurians, Sora. Forget about Taichi and that brat. You have a new family amongst the Tufflesurians. You'll enjoy it."
As soon as Metalla X reached out for Sora, she tried to crawl away. But even that couldn't save her from having a seed being planted through her right ear. The red-haired woman let out a horrifying scream before blacking out once again.
"Yes, sleep… You won't remember a thing. By the end of the day, Earth will become my new kingdom. All humans will be converted into Tufflesurians! I can't wait to see that look of sorrow on Taichi's face. That will gave me enough motivation to end his miserable life. Come on home, Taichi! You're friends will be dying to see you! Ha! Ha!"
Looking on from behind a house was Pikkan. The Alterian had listened to the entire conversation with utter horror. Even he could not stand a chance in hell against Bebimon-Metalla X.
"I have to let the others know about this. Damn it! Tai! You guys really have to get back as soon as possible!"
Digital Outer Space. Orbit of Shintomon's Planet
After many hours of exploring through space, the sapceships piloted by Tai and Takuya's groups had arrived at the orbit of Shintomon's planet. Tai and his friends looked out through the ship's windows to gaze upon the magnificent beauty of the planet. They were more than glad to have arrived.
"We've finally made it!" Davis said. "Whoo-hoo! I never want to take another long trip for a while. Though, I did catch up on my sleep."
"If only you didn't snore all the way through," muttered Veemon.
"Dad. We're finally here. So, have you decided to keep the digicores?"
"Yeah. I'll restore my age later. I think I might want to remain as a kid. At least for a little while longer."
"We're making a landing rendezvous for Shintomon's holy region," Kari announced. "You guys better hang on tight."
"I hope this landing doesn't end up killing us," Rika said.
"Kari knows what she's doing," Takato replied. "Though she could land a little slower. We've almost crashed nearly every time on our trip."
"Here we go!!" Gatomon calls out. "Buckle up everyone!"
The spaceship soon started to take a nosedive towards the planet. The crew screamed out through their lungs while the ship plowed through the atmosphere. The same can be said for the ship harboring Takuya and his friends.
"Whoa! I think I'm going to be sick!" JP exclaimed.
"This is a lot funnier than any roller coaster ride!" screamed Tommy. "Yay!"
"This beats any kind of rollercoaster ride!" replied Takuya. "Enjoying the ride, Zoe?"
"Ah, my skirt!"
"Let me sit next to Zoe!" JP declared.
"In your dreams!" Zoe retorted.
"We're going to land! Here we go!" Takuya announced.
The two spaceships made their complete landing onto the holy region. Fortunately, their landing was a success and no damage was inflicted onto Shintomon's holy land.
Coming out of their mansion, Shintomon and Goseznomon came running out to greet the Digi-Destined groups. The masked man, X, instantly appears in front of the holy digimon and viewed the spaceships opening up their doors.
"Welcome back, you guys," said X. "We thought you'd never get back."
Tai and Max were the first to emerge from their ship. The goggle head leader leaps out onto the lush, green grass and kisses the ground.
"Yeah! Home sweet home… Well not quite home, but you get the idea."
"That was one sweet adventure!" Max exclaimed. "I hope we can get another opportunity like that again."
"As long as you do good in school," replied Agumon.
"Yay! Now I can eat real bread!" Guilmon cried out.
"I see you guys really enjoyed your trip," said Shintomon. "Maybe I should have gone with you."
"You won't believe but we met a demigoddess," Takato announced.
"Demigoddess? Wait a second… you actually met her?"
"I think you pretty much said it, Shintomon," Kari said. "We met Lady Moinanea."
"Are you familiar with her Shintomon?" Gatomon asked.
"I've only heard stories about her, but I haven't actually met her."
"More like never had the opportunity to meet her," Gosenzomon said. "I've met her before her banishment. She's quite the looker. Tell me. Has she retained her youth?"
"Yeah. She's beautiful," Rika replied. "Why ask?"
In reply to Rika's question, Gosenzomon did not reply but his face was starting to blush. The females realized that the perverted digimon was up to no good.
"Thank goodness Lady Moinanea decided to remain on her home," said Renamon. "I don't think even she would put up with an old pervert."
"Does she at least still have her 'bounce'?" the perverted digimon asked. "C'mon… I can't resist the beauty of a goddess… Especially if her butt…"
SMACK!! Renamon and Gatomon lays out Gosenzomon with a double sucker punch. The girls nodded their heads in shame.
"Thank god TK isn't like that with me," Kari muttered. "I'm so lucky."
"Aw, c'mon. He was just kidding you guys," Davis said. "It's not like he was serious."
"Tell that to the pervert," Renamon said with a cough.
"Oh cut the old fool some slack," Veemon chuckled. "He's not as bad as you make him out to be."
"Veemon, you have nod idea," Shintomon muttered under his breath.
The other spaceship carrying Takuya and his friends opened up. Thus, they were released and stepped out to find themselves on the holy region of Shintomon's planet. Takuya walked up to Tai's group.
"Whoa! What the heck this is place?" Takuya asked.
"We're on Shintomon's home planet. Be careful not to litter," Kari informed them.
"Whoops, too late for that," JP said while accidentially dropping a candy wrapper.
"No! You've just contaminated the holy region!" Gosenzomon screeched. "Didn't anybody tell you to respect the property of others!"
"Gee, whiz… Sorry about that," JP replied to the old man's ranting.
"Wow, so this is a holy region?" Kouichi said.
"Hey, Tai. Why don't you show them the four black digicores?" Kouji said.
"Oh, yeah. I forget about that!"
Tai reached down into his backpack and holds out the four black digital cores. The deity pair gazed upon the rare gems with curiosity. Their eyes were glazed over upon their pure brilliance.
"Wow, I can't believe I'm having the privilege to gaze down upon the rare black digicores," Shintomon spoke.
"Consider it an honor my young friend," replied Gosenzomon. "Have you decided to use them to restore your age?"
"Not just yet. I'll wait a long while longer. Besides, I like being a kid and it makes Max even happier," said Tai. "Don't worry. I'll put them away somewhere safe in the meantime."
"Well, if you say so," the elder deity said.
"And who are these people?" Shintomon asked while pointing to Takuya and his friends.
"Oh. You won't believe this, Shintomon. Those six kids are the legendary warriors from the Western sector," Kari said.
"You mean to tell me that those six children inherit the six spirits of the legendary warriors? The same warriors that defeated Lucemon?!" Gosenzomon frantically asked.
"Yeah. We're the legendary warriors," Takuya replied.
"It's honor to meet you, Gosenzomon," Kouji said.
"As long as you keep your distance," Zoe said while holding her skirt.
"It's really good to know that everything went well," Shintomon said.
"By the way, I've been sensing some strange activity from Earth," X replied. "I don't know what it is, but it seems something strange has occurred within the last forty eight hours."
"That's about how long we left from our stop on Planet Yvsera," Takato said. "I wonder what's happening back home."
"Well, whatever it is, we'll be sure to check it out," Tai replied. "It shouldn't be that big of a deal. Ok, guys. I'm just about ready to get home and chow down on some dinner."
"You said, dad," Max said. "I sure hope mom is cooking up a cuisine. I want a plate full of tasty hot dogs!"
"That kid. He so reminds me of myself when I was his age," X thought. "Oh and be sure to keep those digicores well hidden."
"Will do, X. I have a safe at home," Tai stated.
"Legendary warriors. I'd like to thank you for providing Tai and his group the assistance they needed," X said. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is X."
"It's a honor," Takuya said.
"Is it just me or does he remind me of that masked dude from G-Gundam?" Tommy muttered.
"And I'm not Mr. Mask from G-Gundam! Geez, why does everyone think I'm him?"
"Well you do look like him," JP replied.
"Tai. If what X says is true, then we better stay on alert. Bebimon is still at large," Agumon informed his partner.
"Yeah, but I doubt he would have found a breech into our world. Don't worry about it. We'll be sure to find the source of the problem," Kari said.
"Agumon could be right. What if Bebimon has crossed over into our world?" Tai pondered in thought. "Ah, why am I worrying over it? Bebimon would have no chance against our friends. There's only one of him. Everything should be fine."
Earth. Worldwide view
It has been forty-eight hours since Bebimon arrived on Earth. Since then, he has managed to body snatch any available human and digimon in this path. He has gained large quantities of energy from each body and his body has evolved. Bebimon has found better use to each body by planting seeds into their brains. As a result, he gains control over their free will and 'converts' them to Tufflesurians.
Takeru and Tike were among his first victims. They now are loyal servants to the evil Tufflesurian. But Bebimon's ultimate goal came to culmination as he took possession of Metalla X's body. By taking his body, Bebimon has realized powers greater than he could ever comprehend.
Over the last two days, Bebimon has spread his seeds over the entire planet. Nearly every human and digimon was converted to bebimon's control and reborn as 'Tufflesurians'. This included every one of the Digi-Destined, their digimon partners, and the majority of their allies. Only a handful few had escaped being infected by the seeds. Those few individuals included Jeri, Leomon, Pikkan, Calumon, Impmon and his Tamers, Mummymon, Dorothy and Avengemon.
Fortunately for them, Pikkan provided them a hiding place within his training grounds in a mountain region. However, Mummymon remained in Odaiba with Avengemon to stop the sudden riots of the infected humans. There was a good possibility that Bebimon's seeds did not infect a few others. It was only a matter of time before Tai and the others would arrive back home. But they weren't going to receive the welcoming committee that they would expect. Nearly the entire Earth population now shares the same hatred for Tai as their leader, Bebimon.
Odaiba District
There was a sudden bright flash of light emerged from the forests away from the outskirts of Odaiba district. Shintomon immediately appears with Tai, Max, Keke and Agumon.
"Whew, I am so glad to be home," Keke said.
"I sure hope the others arrived at their homes safely," Max said.
"Don't worry about that, Max," Shintomon assured the boy. "X knows the whereabouts of this planet more than I do."
Max turned around and faced the brilliance of the Odaiba city lights illuminating the landscape. He inhaled a breath of fresh air, but he soon hacked out the pollution air.
"Now don't go breathing from the air in this city," Keke said.
"Tell me about it. The pollution here makes the air smell like crap. I've always considered moving away from here."
"I hope Kari and Gatomon get home safely at Shinjuku. TK and the twins have to be worried about her," Agumon said.
"Yeah, I hope so, too," Max replied. "By the way dad, where would we have to go?"
"Anywhere but here. I've always liked the fresh air, especially when I played soccer. Come to think of it. I can play soccer more at this age. I'm glad I've decided to remain a kid," Tai said while holding the bag containing the four digicores.
"Um, I'd hate to interrupt this son-father conversation, but I really have to be off," Shintomon said.
"Thanks for everything, Shintomon. Make sure to send X and Gosenzomon my regards."
"I will, Tai. Take care."
With that said, Shintomon phases out and returns back to his dimension. Eventually, Tai walked down the street with his partner and the children following his path. The first stop would be over to Matt and Mimi's home, since Keke needed to be dropped off. After that, the boys would return home and take the rest of the night off. That was the plan until Keke spoke up.
"Um, Tai. Max. Would it be ok if I stayed for the night? Then you can drop me off back home. Please? I promise that I'll be good and we could possibly order some pizza."
"That sounds great!" Max replied with a smile. "Dad? What do you think? Can she stay for the night?"
"I have no problem. Just don't go overdoing it in bed you two," Tai replied with a chuckle.
"Dad? What are you saying? What's that supposed to mean?"
"Dang it. I shouldn't have let my mouth slip. Tell you what, kiddo. I'll fill you in on everything when you get older."
Agumon smacks himself on the forehead after the remark from his partner. Max and Keke had dumbfounded looks on their innocent faces. They were much too young to understand the meaning of the 'birds and the bees'. Eventually, they would have to realize that meaning once time passes.
"C'mon! How about we hold off pizza for tomorrow? I bet Sora is cooking us up one hell of a meal by now. I'm sure X informed everyone on our return," Tai said.
"I hope she's cooking us some hot potatoes and beef steak! I love that dish of hers!" Max said with drool coming down his lips.
"You two are already making me think about dinner!" Keke exclaimed. "You've got me drooling like a dog."
They started walking towards the city and exited out from the outskirts. What had them confused was the fact that not one person was walking among the streets. Not a single person was visible and it seemed like a ghost town. Keke felt disturbed by this silence and clung onto Max. Tai and Agumon couldn't quite understand the situation.
"Where is everyone? This city is deserted," Tai wondered. "Did something happen here? I wonder if that creature attacked?"
"Maybe everyone evacuated from a crisis," Agumon said. "X did mention about a disturbance on your home planet."
Suddenly, Agumon paused as he looked up ahead to find none other than Kazu, Guardromon, Kenta and Marine Angemon. A gasp of relief came amongst the group. Tai waved and ran towards the teens.
"Kazu! Kenta! What the heck happened here? Why is everyone suddenly gone?" Tai asked.
"Where's Bebimon or whomever caused the crisis? Did it attack?!" Max asked.
"You mean a little freak that goes by and body snatches? We saw him fighting Pikkan but he got away," Kazu spoke in a raspy voice. "We're so glad you guys came back. Did you get them?"
"You mean the digicores? Yep. They're in the bag," Keke responded.
"That's good to know. You can definitely use those to help us defeat that little psycho," Kenta said. "Oh and everyone else is still in the city from what I know. Last time I checked, your wife is at home, Tai. She's been waiting."
"I bet she is! She must be cooking up some dinner right about now!" Tai said with a rumbling tummy. "We'll get there and be sure to plan out the next move on the situation."
"But before we do, we have to get our stomachs filled," Max said. "You just can't beat a grumbling Kamiya tummy. Last one there has to clean the dishes!"
"Hey! No way, dude!" Tai calls out.
"Wait for me, Tai! I don't want to clean no stinking dishes!" Agumon exclaimed.
"I'm definitely not washing dishes! I'm the guest for goodness sakes," Keke said. "The nerve of those guys…"
The group heads off towards the Kamiya apartment home, which was several blocks away. Unknown to them, Kazu and Kenta's eyes were glowing red. They muttered a few chants under their silent breath.
"Stupid humans," Kazu hissed with malice. "They must die."
"We must warn Lord Bebimon about this," replied Kenta. "Marine Angemon. Inform him on Taichi's arrival."
"You too, Guardromon."
The two digimon nodded in response to their partners and scurried off to find Bebimon. They would then inform the mutant about Tai and his allies' arrivals.
Kamiya Residence
The group finally arrived at the Kamiya apartment residence. Tai and Max walked in after sighing breaths of relief. Keke and Agumon soon followed them into the home. Just then, Sora made her presence felt and stepped out from the kitchen.
"Hey hon! We're home!" Tai exclaimed "Did you miss us?"
"Ha! Of course, you little troublemakers! Welcome home, you guys," Sora responded. "I've missed you so much. Come on. I've already prepared a meal for each of you. Oh, Keke. It's so good to see you again."
"Likewise, Mrs. Kamiya. I'm staying the night and returning home by tomorrow."
"Swell. Max could really use your company now."
This slight remark made the young boy blush as Keke rested her head on his shoulder. Tai laughed and pressed his knuckles on the embarrassed boy's head.
"My little boy is turning into a young man!" Tai said with a chuckle. "That's how every Kamiya man operates."
"Um, right. You think you could let go, dad?"
"Heh, sorry."
"Before we eat. Have you seen everyone else by any chance? Maybe like Pikkan or Matt?" Agumon asked.
"That's a good question, Agumon. I could have sworn to have seen those two flying over the apartment complex. Enough chatting, guys. Eat up. I've worked hard to make this a good dinner."
"Yay! What time is it? It's time to munch!!" the group said in unison.
While turning her back on the group, Sora smiled evilly. She also hid the fact that she too was possessed by another one of Bebimon's eggs. It was planted inside of her brain and controlled every one of her actions. She planned on calling forth Bebimon soon to inform him on Tai's arrival.
"Pitiful, humans. You'll be another batch of slaves for Bebimon. However, our master has better plans for you, Taichi. He wants your blood on his hands. So enjoy this 'last supper' while you can. Heh. Heh."
Else in Odaiba. Mummymon's Famous Mansion
There was an angry mob breaking down the doors of Mummymon's newly built mansion. He has become Odaiba's newest residence ever since the D-Reaper's downfall. He was seen as a local hero, despite his weak stance amongst the other digital warriors. However, this turn of events did not do him any favors. In fact, it was his worst day and he's seen better ones.
The mob cursed and trashed everything in sight. However, Mummymon was safe in his attic with Avengemon protecting him. Mummymon was trembling at a corner.
"I can't believe this! Why are they out to kill me?"
"What did I do wrong? It's not fair! Avengemon, where the heck is Dorothy?!"
"I have no idea where my partner is. I feat that she may have been enslaved by one of Bebimon's seeds."
"One question. How come the seed hasn't affected you?"
"Well, I was once apart of the D-Reaper. I retain the ability to immobilize anything that enters my body. Since my body was able to delete anything digital, the seeds were created by a digimon. As a result, I was easily able to delete the seed. Dorothy, too, is the reincarnation of the D-Reaper and should also possess that ability."
"I see, but I'm no D-Reaper! I'm only me! It's not fair!"
"Don't worry. They won't find us up here."
Just then, the attic door broke apart as another mob came crashing in. Their crimson eyes gave a purely evil glow, which brought chills down the spine of Mummymon. Avengemon stood his ground as he prepared to attack. Mummymon quickly rose up and approached the former D-Reaper half.
"Hey! Are either one of those idiots, Bebimon?"
"No. These small fries are not possessed by Bebimon. You can take them."
With that said, a devious smile forms across Mummymon's face. He turned to face the angry mob and pointed his fist at them.
"C'mon! I'll take you wimps out and blow dry you one by one! Yu wanna piece of me, fat boys?!"
The mob charged the cocky digimon. However, Mummymon easily punched out each digimon with relative ease. One by one, the humans went down by Mummymon's fists. Mummymon stood triumphant over them with his arms rose high like a heavyweight-boxing champion.
"Yeah! Eat your heart out, Muahammad Ali!"
"Um, you better keep your eye on the game, champ."
"why is that? You said these punks were wet noodles."
"Think again, moron," Avengemon muttered.
Mummymon immediately turned around and noticed that the crowds were rising up. They didn't seem to show any emotion of pain. Mummymon's mouth dropped and started walking back. The mob was impervious to any sort of pain. This was a result to Bebimon's seeds increasing their body's strengths.
"Let's get out of here, right away! I don't want to die!"
"Grab on."
"What?"
With that said, Mummymon was snatched by his collar as Avengemon carried him off through the attic window. Avengemon takes off into the skies while Mummymon screamed out like there was no tomorrow.
"Ahh! I've always hated taking flights! I get nauseous…"
"Ugh. Why was I ever paired up with this buffoon? Dorothy? Where are you? This Bebimon is nothing but a damn nuisance. It's obvious that the entire planet is under that monster's influence. Where are Taichi and the others when you need them?"
Avengemon flew off into the far distance and towards the outskirts of the city. This would allow them time to recuperate and plan out their next move into the city. They would have to find Tai and warn him about the upcoming dangers that lurk.
Shinjuku District. Matsuki Residence
As soon as Takato and Guilmon arrived home, they found Mr. and Mrs. Matsuki sitting on stools. They didn't even seem to notice that the boy walked through the back door. There were many customers gathering around to buy bread. Takato came walking towards his parents, but they didn't seem ecstatic.
"Hey, I'm home, mom. Dad. What's up? So I don't get the welcome treatment."
"Takato. I'm sensing something weird around here. Maybe it's just me."
"It has to be. What could go wrong here?"
"Takato," Mrs. Matsuki spoke in a raspy voice. "You should have called before you got here."
"I'm sorry I didn't. I was just excited to get home as soon as possible."
"You still should have called!" hissed Mr. Matsuki.
Takato backed away from the tone of his father's voice. Mr. Matsuki slams his fist on the front cashier desk. This caused the boy and his partner to back away. Suddenly, there was a faint red glow through his father's eyes.
"Dad? What's going on? You couldn't be mad at me for just leaving. I even told you before I left. You said it was okay. I don't understand this sudden outburst."
"Takato. Those are not your parents."
"Huh? What are you talking about, Guilmon? Of course thats them."
"I don't mean it that way. They are just not themselves. It seems they are being controlled."
"Controlled?!"
Suddenly, the customers started advancing towards the teen and his digimon partner. Takato looks out to the back door and runs out immediately.
"What's the meaning of this, Guilmon? What is wrong with them?"
"I'm sensing Bebimon in them."
"What? Bebimon? You mean that Bebimon has brainwashed them some how?"
"I think so. We have to warn the others."
"We shouldn't have underestimated that little freak. Now he's gone and brainwashed my family! I just hope that the whole world isn't against us."
"Let's go find Renamon and Rika first."
"That's a good idea, Guilmon. After that, we'll go and warn the other Tamers."
"I definitely can smell Bebimon's scent from those people. He's definitely the one responsible for this."
Shibuya District. Kanbara Residence
Takuya came running out from his home while his mother and brother were attempting to break down the front door. They also bore the crimson eyes as Takato's parents did.
"What the hell?! Why are they so pissed off at me? I guess they're mad because I left the lasagna in the over for a day."
"Takuya!!"
The boy looked around to track the source of the voice. Immediately, he spotted Zoe waving out to him.
"Zoe?!"
"Takuya? What is going on here? My parents have lost their minds! How can they even try to kill their own daughter?"
"I don't know, but X was right. Something must have happened here while we were away. I'm getting a bad feeling that Bebimon may be responsible for this."
"I've just called the others."
"And?"
"It doesn't look good. All of them were fortunate enough to escape harm from their parents. I told them to meet us over at the train station."
"Ok, then. We'll discuss our plans there and head out to Odaiba. We'll meet with Tai and let him know on everything that has happened. Damn, I knew that little bastard was going to find us sooner or later."
"We better hurry before he turns more people against us."
"Yeah."
Daisuke Residence
Davis and Veemon fled out from their home while Sonja shot out numerous energy blasts like a maniac. The young man wiped his forehead in relief from the harsh bitch treatment. However, in this case, Bebimon has enslaved Sonja because of the seed planted in her brain.
"Damn! I knew that woman was crazy, but this is insane! Now David wants my head. I didn't know I made them wait that long."
"No, Davis. This is Bebimon's doing. That little jerk turned our family against us. I'm willing to bet that everyone else is getting ill treatment from their families. Yeah. Bebimon has brainwashed them somehow."
"In that case, we'll find Tai and gather everyone together. Let's get going, Veemon."
"You don't have to tell me twice."
Shinjuku. Takaishi Apartment Residence
Kari and Gatomon walked into their apartment home. They realized that the house was empty and quiet. Normally, the twins would have much a commotion, but not right now. Kari was even more worried when she found the patio door being left open.
"TK! Tike! Kara! I'm home!"
"I wonder where they are? They left the front and patio doors open. TK normally would lock everything up."
"Hey, guys! We're home! Did we miss out on anything? Maybe not, except seeing the kids make pigs out of themselves."
The pair walked through the darkness of the apartment home. Gatomon realized that they were being watched and noticed a pair of red glows glowing. Kari flipped on the switch and sighed a relief. TK and the children were in the dining room.
"TK! Kids! Whew, you guys nearly scared me to death," Kari said. "Why was the door left unlocked?"
TK simply smiled and walked over to his beloved young wife. He places his hand on her right shoulder and kissed her neck. This managed to send cold chills down her spine.
"Is there something you need to tell me, TK? You're kind of scaring me."
"The children and I have missed you so much."
"It's only been about three days?"
"Yes, but it's almost been forever, sweety."
"I know and I'm glad to be home. I just hope the kids aren't mad at me."
"Of course not. As a matter of fact, they would like to express their feeling towards you. It seems they need a mother's love. Kids, I'll let you have some time with your mother for a while. Patamon, let's go."
"Right."
With that said, TK and Patamon left the dining room. This left Kari and Gatomon with the children. The feline digimon felt a dark ki emitting from the children and backed away. The twins advanced on Kari like savages. Tike runs up towards his mother and knees her in the stomach.
Hey! What's the big idea! That's your mother, Tike!" Gatomon hissed. "No, you're not Tike!"
"That's right, meddlesome digimon. I've been reborn as a Tufflesurian and a proud servant to Lord Bebimon."
"Why don't you simply surrender and become one, Gatomon?" Kara said.
"No way! I'll never join the likes of you!"
"That's too late for you, Gatomon," a familiar snake-like voice said.
Gatomon and Kari turned to find Metalla X standing with his arms crossed. The feline immediately picked up Bebimon's purely evil ki flowing through his body. He advanced towards Gatomon and chuckled.
"Remember when I entered your body from our first encounter, Gatomon?"
"Yes, what about it? I'll never forget that."
"Matt! Why are you doing this? What's the meaning of this?"
"That's not Matt anymore, Kari. It's Bebimon. There's nothing we can do to stop him… He's… Ack! Ahh!!" Gatomon choked out.
"Gatomon!"
"It's too late to save her, Hikari. She's already becoming a Tufflesurian. Once I entered her body, I planted a seed in her brain. That seed enables me to control her completely and she shall pledge her allegiance to me."
"You monster… You won't win…"
"I already have won, human. Now make it easy on yourself and become one with the Tufflesurians. It's time we kill your brother, Taichi."
Metalla X approached Kari and raised his hand over her. Her screams echoed as loud as the city would hear. Unfortunately, nobody could save Kari. She, too, would become converted into a Tufflesurian. Bebimon has now managed to ensnare every member of Tai's family except Max and Tai himself. The mutant's goal of world domination was near completion.
Shibuya Train Station
Takuya and the others eventually met up with one another at the train station. They seemed rather down after the incidents with their parents. They were chased out from their own homes, because they were now brainwashed to become Bebimon's slaves.
"This is insane!" Takuya exclaimed. "Now our own families are out for our heads."
"Bebimon's managed to sink to new lows," replied Kouji. "What we need to do is find Bebimon. If we destroy him, then we might break his control over everyone."
"Wow, you make it sound easy," JP complained. "Let's just gang up on Bebimon. What if he's managed to find a strong body? We're screwed if we mess with him then."
"We're going to have it try," Zoe said. "I'm not about to give in to this maniac."
"Zoe's right. All we have to do is find Tai and let him know. I'm sure he'll lend us a hand," Takuya said. "I just hope that his family hasn't become enslaved under that monster's control. Let's get going, guys. There isn't any time to waste."
Kamiya Residence
Tai and Max were about to dig into their dinner plates until Sora opened the front door. The boys were surprised to see guests coming over for dinner.
"Aunt Kari? Uncle TK?" Max said. "You managed to get here quick."
"Don't forget about us!" exclaimed Tike and Kara.
"Hey, it's good to see you two. I called dibs on the steak and potatoes by the way," Keke said with a smile.
"So you actually found the black digicores of legend?" TK directed his question towards Tai.
"We sure did. Hasn't Kari even told you?"
"Um, sure she said, but I wanted to hear it from you. Heh…"
"Oh, there's plenty to eat here for three families, TK. Join us."
"Don't mind if I do."
"But I have another question, Tai. Do you plan on using the digicores to turn yourself back to normal?"
Tai stood frozen while thinking to himself. He made his obvious choice beforehand. Everyone faced him, but little did Tai realize that several of them were eyeing him with death glares. The boy snapped his fingers and came up with his final decision.
"I wanted to remain a kid," he replied. "Besides, I can spend more time with Max and become like an older brother to him. We're going to have lots of fun."
Max nodded his head in agreement and reached out for the digicore bag. He held them over his head with pride.
"So, when do we start grubbing down?" Tai asked. "I could eat a horse by now."
Sora frowned and slammed her fists on the table. Max, Tai and Keke were quite alarmed by her aggression and were questioning her motives.
"Was it something I just said?" Tai wondered. "I'm sorry if I'm demanding but I can't help it."
"Yeah, mom. Just cut us some slack. We've come back from such a long trip," Max replied.
The woman chuckled to herself and pointed a finger to them. After that, TK, Kari and the twins sat up from their chairs. Tai and the others were getting an uneasy feeling.
"There will be no supper for you, Taichi Kamiya. For this will be your last supper," Sora hissed. "Lord Bebimon wants your heads on a platter."
"Mom?! What are you saying?! Is this some sort of joke?!" Max asked. "If it is, I don't like it."
Keke held tightly onto Max while Tai and Agumon covered them. Sora and the others were slowing approaching them with their eyes glowing. Yes, this clearly indicated that they were under Bebimon's control.
"Damn! Why is this happening?!" Tai wondered. "Did Bebimon have a hand in this? Don't tell me he's managed to enslave our family and friends! Sora! Kari! TK! Snap out of it!"
"Dad, we can't fight them. They are family!"
"I know! Agumon, you heard him. We can't assault them," Tai told his partner.
"This isn't good. Bebimon must have plotted this from the start! He knew that we would have beaten him. So he must have found a passageway from the other world into your world, Tai. As a result, he succeeded in brainwashing everyone we know."
"No way! That's utterly insane!" Tai exclaimed.
Within a few moments, TK and Patamon fused together into the holy warrior: War Angemon. Kari and Gatomon immediately merged together to become Celesta X. The twins balled up their fists.
Tike and Kara flew over toward Max and Keke. The children duo managed to knock down Max and Keke. Max was utterly in disbelief that his newest enemies would be his own cousins.
"No! I can't fight you guys. You maybe under Bebimon's control, but you're apart of my family."
"Max! We've got to get out of here right away," Keke said.
"Not without dad and Agumon."
Celesta X fired away a ki blast towards Max and Keke. However, they were able to dodge the shot at the last second. Max protected Keke and turned to face his aunt.
"Aunt Kari! You have to stop this madness. I can't fight you."
"Tell me. Are you two really Tai and Kari?!" Tai asked with anger at the tone of his voice.
"Huh? Well, I sure do look like TK. So… Yeah, I'm still me," War Angemon said with a chuckle.
War Angemon fires his own ki blast towards Tai, but Agumon was able to slap the blast away from his partner.
"I'm also still Kari," Celesta X said. "We're no imposters and these are our real children."
After finishing her statement, Celesta X ruthlessly shot out numerous ki blast. Agumon was there to intercept and slap away each blast.
"Kari. I never taught you to attack your opponent from behind," Tai said. "You've stooped low."
Celesta X merely smirked and nodded to her children. Tike and Kara shot out numerous ki blasts. Agumon and Max easily countered each blast with defense attacks of their own. Agumon and Max made their next move by executing a double dropkick to Celesta X.
"We're sorry, Aunt Kari. We have to do this to help you."
With that said, Max cupped his hands together as he prepared to use a technique taught to him by his Agumon. This was the Tsunami Wave. Originally, X taught the technique to Agumon as a last form of defense. The reptile digimon now passed it onto Max as a last resort.
Suddenly, the boy was stopped as numerous voices came calling out from outside the apartment complex. Tai turned to find War Growlmon crashing at the front entrance to the apartment complex. Takato came jumping down with Takuya, Zoe and the other children.
"Takato! Takuya! Hey, you guys made it!" Max cried out.
"Yes. Right in the knick of time!" exclaimed Keke.
"Don't attack them, Max! They are still your family. Bebimon has put every human on this planet under Bebimon's control!" Takato cries out.
"He's managed to influence our families!" Takuya replied.
"Yeah. He's also managed to get Rika and Renamon under control!" War Growlmon stated.
"Does that include everyone of the other Digi-Destined?" asked Tai.
"Everyone except a few," Zoe said. "At least, I hope so… Wait, Davis and veemon managed to escape from Bebimon's influence. He should get here anytime by now."
"Yes. We are reborn as Lord Bebimon's Tufflesurians," Biyomon hissed. "You foolish humans will die."
Suddenly, there was a deep laughter echoing from around the apartment complex. Everyone looked up to find a familiar figure standing on top of a roof. The figure managed to fly down and revealed himself to be Bebi-Metalla X. Tai held Max and Keke back from the smiling villain.
"Well, hello there, Taichi. It's nice to see you again," Bebi-Metalla X said. "I've been expecting you."
"Matt?! No! Not you too!" Tai exclaimed in utter disbelief.
"No! That's Bebimon, Tai! He's responsible for turning everyone against us!" Agumon said.
"You son of a bitch!" Tai cursed.
"Yes, isn't it convenient? Now I have taken over the body of your best friend, Taichi. He's provided me with the strongest power I desire," Bebi-Metalla X chuckled in laughter.
Tai and Agumon were now prepared to face off against their enemy, Bebimon, who has successfully possessed Metalla X's body. This would become their biggest test to date. They will have to destroy Matt's body in order to defeat Bebimon.
Every human on the planet have been converted into Tufflesurians and will carry out Bebimon's desires. The mutant has taken possession of Matt's fusion form. He has gained the ultimate power on earth and sets his sights on Tai. Will our heroes find a way to stop Bebimon's madness? Or will Omega X stand up against the new threat?
