(Next chapter up... I still don't own Digimon. Also, I don't own Commander John Cottrell, Viewtiful John does.)

Takuya was in the DIGIMON hangers, looking over, and the storage of the DIGIMON. This included his Own DIGIMON, his comrades' DIGIMON, and the ones of the NEW Recruits... He was worried though, about the Commander, and about their "President." "I know something devastating is gonna happen... Something that may determine the fate of the galaxy... I just hope we can stop it in time..."

"Me too..."

Takuya turned around, to see Izumi. Obviously she was doing the same job he had been doing. "Oh, Izumi-chan... So... What the hell is gonna happen now...?" He looked up uneasily. "We're now caught in the middle of two opposing sides...with a mad man behind the scenes planning Armageddon." He turned to her. "You know, I never got the chance to apologize to what Happened when we first met. It's just that I thought you were trying to hurt people..."

Izumi just laughed softly. "I was only stirring up some commotion. I would never intentionally kill someone. I feel sorry for you guys though..." Her face turned sad. "I mean you had your hopes and dreams pinned on a false promise..."

Takuya sighed. "I thought the President was like a holy man... But now, he's actually the devil himself... A wolf in sheep's clothing... What is there for me left to believe in now?" He suddenly heard footsteps approaching. "He looked up to see Izumi right in front of him.

"Takuya..." Izumi pressed herself up against Takuya, slightly flustering him. "There are still things you can believe in..." She leaned over, wrapping her arms around Takuya, and kissing him full on the lips.

Taichi and Yamato stepped into Major Koushiro Izumi's office, with haste. They found the major at his desk, with a concerned look on his face.

"Major... What's the problem?" Taichi asked slowly.

Koushiro paled. "They're about to launch Digital Star tomorrow night...and it's certain that the Virus Hackers will be there too..."

Taichi and Yamato gasped in unison.

Yamato spoke first. "Are you serious Major?"

"Yes... The President confirmed it with the Digital Knight leaders this morning... It appears that since the disturbance from our first "meeting" with the Virus Hackers, the President decided to speed up the ignition of the project. So tomorrow night, will be when all hell breaks loose."

"Kuso... We can't let there be any more needless battles or deaths!" Taichi stated. "It must end now!"

Koushiro nodded. "My thoughts exactly. I've planned ahead though. I've relayed the truth to all the soldiers that are loyal under me. They'll be willing to go through with the operation, and I hope our "inner circle" will too. Especially since we might have to deal with our own forces... I feel Ryo may be in league with the President somehow..."

Little did the trio know...? Ryo was outside of the office, with a tape recorder. He had a scowl on his face as he listened to the conversation. "Looks like we got some weasels in the den..."

Takato and Ruki were in the gym having a sparring match like before, only this time Takato was careful not to "remove" anything... They had been at if for ¾ of an hour before they finally called it quits.

"Mattaku... You're stronger than you before last time... Are you some kind of super woman?" Takato asked jokingly.

Ruki just laughed. "There's more to me than meets the eye Goggle head."

Takato smirked. "Well, there's more to me than meets the eye too..." He leaned over and kissed Ruki softly on the lips. "We know that about each other by now."

Ruki nodded. "We come from different sides, but we think the same. I wish there was another way..."

Takato sighed as he held Ruki. "Well... Hopefully, this will all turn out well for all of us, if people know the truth..."

Ruki sat herself in Takato's lap, hear arms curled around his shoulders. "Well until then, I'm happy just having you on top of me..." She pulled Takato down, for some "fun."

Elsewhere, Takeru was talking with Hikari in his dorm. "So... All this time you've thought Taichi was dead?"

"I gave up when I saw the burning wreckage that was our village. But now, after all this time... He's actually alive... I don't know what to think now..."

"It must be hard. I've always had Yamato with me. We may annoy each other sometimes, but we love each other deep down... So... How were things up at Moon Base?"

Hikari scowled to herself. "Horrible. They never took me seriously as an officer. They thought I was some weak girl, or incompetent child, never even acknowledging the fact that I'm actually a competent DIGIMON pilot..."

Takeru frowned in sympathy. "They really treated you badly... Talk about unfair treatment."

"Well it wasn't all bad. Sora and Mimi were there for me. We grew up together, and we're almost like sisters..." Hikari said with a smile.

"Heh..." Takeru smiled. "Reminds me of myself and the guys. We practically are brothers. We've gone through many fights, missions and events together. Besides Yamato, they're basically all my family."

Hikari smiled. "It's funny... The Virus Hacker were bringing me up to hate the Digital Knights... But know that I've met them, they're just like us. Only they've been lied to... What are you going to do about Digital Star now?"

Takeru looked downcast. "I guess... We'll have to stop it. We're gonna have to go through some of our own in the process... If the Virus Hackers show up too...It'll probably turn into a free for all war... I can't guarantee what's going to happen. But Hikari-chan... I..." Before he could say anything, the said girl flung herself upon him, wrapping around him in an embrace, and pressing her lips on his.

"Takeru-kun... Watashi..." That was all Hikari could say, before both found themselves in a heartfelt kiss...melting into one another's arms.

Later that night...

Koushiro was staring out the window, looking out at the city below him. "How ironic... The people all sleep peacefully, with great dreams, no knowing of an impending disaster lurking in the shadows... But hopefully, this disaster won't have a chance to emerge."

"You really think it's possible?" A female voice said from behind Kosuhiro.

Koushiro turned around to see Mimi standing in front of him. Koushiro smiled at the girl. "I don't really know... But I want there to be as little chaos as possible. I was hoping that Digital Star would promote some peace, but since that isn't happening anytime soon... It's looks although we'll have to initiate a battle. But this is necessary. More deaths and global domination is the LAST thing we want. You believe me don't you? The Digital Knights aren't war mongers..."

Mimi sighed, but then smiled. "I used to think the Digital Knights WERE war mongers who were promoting nuclear weaponry... NOW I know better. Koushiro... I want to help. I want to help you... You've opened my eyes for the first time..."

"Mimi... You know... You're the first woman who's ever understood me... You know what I've gone through..."

"Koushiro..." Mimi stepped forward.

Koushiro beat her to it and lip locked with the pink haired woman. Mimi kissed back with much love, as Koushiro moved his hands down to her skirt. He gently unbuttoned and unzipped the back of it, and let it drop down to Mimi's ankles, before moving up to her shirt.

Mimi, not about to let Koushiro have all the fun, began moving up to his shirt. He grabbed the hem line, and pulled it up over his head, throwing it to the side. She ran a delicate hand over his muscular frame... "Wow, what framework..." she said huskily to Koushiro.

"Heh, I've done some lifting..." Koushiro told her as he threw her shirt to the side, leaving Mimi in her green bra and panties. Koushiro hurriedly removed his own jeans... leaving him in his briefs, and tossed them to the side... Setting Mimi down on the bed, he climbed on top of her, kissing around her neck and collarbone. He grinned wildly at her. "Brace yourself Meems, we're gonna get wet tonight..."

Tai sat up in bed, reading one of his favorite books, waiting for a certain lady to come out. He looked at his watch. 11:00 o'clock, it read.

Suddenly the bathroom door opened, revealing Sora, clad in only her orange bra and panties covered with a flimsy see through, orange nightie. She walked gracefully over to Tai' and slithered into the bed, snuggling right beside him.

Tai put his book to one side, and settled in with the auburn angel. "Hey Sexy..." He kissed her.

Sora giggled, and scooted closer to Tai, wrapping her arms around him, and smooching him all upon his face.

Tai lifted Sora's nightie off and tossed it onto the floor. "You won't need that. Just enjoy this moment. But I assure you it WON'T be our last..."

"Tai... Arigato... Aishiteru..." Sora and Tai sealed a kiss between each other, melting into each other's embrace...

The next morning, it was 10:00 o'clock. Major Koushiro was gathering some of the soldiers under his leadership, namely his closest friends. He was leading them to his office for a private talk. It was something he wished to discuss something private with them only. "Let's get to my office, because we won't get disturbed there." When they reached the office, Koushiro pushed the door open. It was oddly dark inside of the office. Koushiro arched an eyebrow. "That's odd... It's not usually dark in this room..."

Suddenly the lights all flashed on, revealing Digital Knights, all pointing guns at the group. At the middle of the room, was a smug looking Ryo. He shook his head disapprovingly at the Kosuhiro. "Well, Major... It appears you've been caught. You see, I know now what went on at moon base. I know that your "girlfriends" are Virus Hackers, and also...that you've discovered the true purpose of Digital Star. I can't let you live now... So...you're dismissed form your duties, and hereby charged with treason."

"RYO!" Koushiro glared at the General. "Don't you care that you're hurting innocent people?"

"No... Frankly I'm with the president, for POWER! Now... I hereby sentence you all to death, by long range shooting..."

Suddenly the room was filled with soft melodic laughter. Everyone looked around the room, searching for the source. The laughter grew louder.

"What's going...?" Koushiro cut himself off as he saw some glowing white creatures flying around the room. "Woah... What...are...those?!"

The white beings continued to laugh as they circled themselves around the group in the middle. The Major and the others were surrounded by a glowing circle of white creatures until, there was a white flash. When the light cleared, the general and his men gawked at the center... For the captives had disappeared.

(Cliffhanger... Where have they gone? RR)
