Jason sighed. He remembered his motto, ' Show me a city without wild Virus Digimon, and I'll show you a Digimon Guardian without a job.' Now, he was without a job. MaloMyotismon and Diaboromon had vanished. The two were of the same strand, and if they had merged, Makeshift would definitely suffer a big damaging blow. Ellen burst in.
" Jason, Monochromon has begun banging into the Head Office. We've got a job to do," she said.
" Is Infrared joining us?" Jason asked, picking up his cards and jacket.
" No. Cooper is though. The protection of Makeshift normally is his," Ellen said. In seconds the two were downstairs and Elecmon began attacking.
" Super Thunder Strike!" the mammal cried.
" Gazimon, you too!"
" Electric Stun Blast!" Monochromon turned, then twitched his tail. Elecmon and Gazimon soon found themselves against a wall, leaving an imprint.
" Guys, just be glad that this Champion level Digimon didn't use his Volcanic Strike!" Jason cried.
*DIGIVOLUTION*
" Gazimon, digivolve to... Darkrizamon!"
" Go for it!" Ellen cried.
" Dark Flare!" As Darkrizamon absorbed Monochromon's data, Jason opened a window-sized object.
" Coop, you missed our battle," he said. The face of a young man of about thirty with red skin appeared on the screen.
" Sorry. Listen, Jijimon thinks he may have found Daemon's location," Cooper said.
" I'll be there soon.
" Jijimon, are you sure about this part?" Jason said in the Head Office.
" Yes, my son, quite sure," Jijimon said.
" I've got to contact Takato. This is not going to be pretty, Jijimon," Jason sighed.
" My cards are doing the same thing," Henry said, looking through them with Takato.
" This could be bad for us. We can't do Digi-Battle, and Kazu and I having a tournament tomorrow," Takato said.
" Is that all you can think about?" Terriermon asked.
" Guys, you can complain later. Daemon is in your world!" Jason cried from the card.
" Uh, Takato, your card is talking," Henry said. Jason shook his head.
" Okay, guys, do you even care that there is a very powerful Digimon in your world, searching for enough power to change forms in to ArcaDaemon. Now will you listen?" Jason cried.
" ArcaDaemon?" Takato said. Jason threw his hands up in the air.
" I GIVE UP! Jijimon, you talk to them!"
" Very well, my son. But first, perhaps Addison, Jewel, Alec, and Lee would like to enter the room," Jijimon said. Henry, Takato, and Terriermon looked. Sure enough, Addison, ToyAgumon, Jewel, Muchomon, Alec, Kokuwamon, Lee, and Kunemon were standing right there.
" You know, for a guy with veiled eyes, he sure sees very well," Jewel murmured.
" Oh, hush-ya-mouth," Lee grumbled.
" Guys, come on. Bucchiemon forced us to fight worse than this, but we shouldn't fight period!" Alec said.
" You're right, Alec. Look, we're fighting worse than Matrix and AndrAIa did when they met the Hero Selective vs. the Pixels. Let's just focus on the matter at hand. Forget the cards for a moment and let's worry about Daemon," Addison said.
" Finally!" Jason cried, still off screen on the card.
" Okay, we'll focus on the cards later. If Daemon runs loose, then to get his energy to transform, he's gonna kill people to get their energy. Takato, Henry, do you know what happens to one of Daemon's victims after their energy is drained?" Addison asked.
" They become Digimon. And if Daemon uses their energy for anything, anything at all, then that person is permanently a Digimon, and the energy becomes a ghost of the human. Okay? And the building that person spent the most time in becomes haunted. Unless we stop Daemon, then he'll get enough energy to become ArcaDaemon. Daemon uses a claw to rip open the person's back, suck their energy, the wound heals, and, depending on how resilient the human is, they become a Digimon. If a person with low resistance to it goes, then five hours later, it begins. A high resistance person won't begin to get results until fifteen hours later. Medium resistance people don't begin the transformation until ten hours later. Now, if the person is an adult, they become an Ultimate level. Teenagers become Champion level, twelve to three year-olds become Rookie level, toddlers become In-Training level, and babies become, well, Baby level. Senior citizens become Mega level Digimon. Daemon will
probably go after preteens, teenagers, and adults. They give of the most energy. Teenagers especially because a lot of them have bottled up love energy. Now, unless you guys want over half the town to become a ghost town, we'd better work on this. You also want to hold onto that little Digivolving beast Calumon, because if a human turned Digimon digivolves, they are stuck that way. Now, Daemon likes dark places, so, we'd have to go to those towers near your house, Takato," Jewel said.
" Absolutely not. We are not a resort. Now, unless you want me to get my caller id out and find out just who exactly you are, I'd suggest you hang up," Yamaki growled. When the click of the other phone hanging up was heard, Yamaki sighed.
" Rough time, sir?" Riley asked.
" You have no idea. Have you been able to find out what caused the de-emerge?" Yamaki asked.
" No sir. It just did it," Tally sighed, and put down her visor.
" Well, that was a dead end," Henry said.
" Don't be so negative," Jewel said. " You have to read between the lines. What he really said was that the front door is closed to us, but the garbage chute-" Jewel opened the door, "- Is wide open."
" I'm not crawling through there," Muchomon said.
" Come on."
" Ah!" Jewel had grabbed Muchomon by the collar.
" Okay, okay. I'll go," Muchomon grumbled.
" I thought you might see things my way," Jewel chuckled. Addison and Lee sighed.
" Women," they said.
" Hey, you don't like my attitude," Jewel said, and grabbed Addison and Lee's collar, " Then get out of the garbage chute."
" Sorry, but you already stink," Alec said.
" Are you guys supposed to be friends or enemies?" Takato asked.
" Oh, we are friends, but these are just friendly teases. We enjoy playing around with our friendship. See, we always mess around here because we're worried about this mission, and we're always afraid that an evil Digimon will defeat our Digimon and kill one of us, so we play around with the others emotions and try to get that adrenaline pumping early," Jewel sighed.
" Yeah, 24/7 in her case," Lee said. He ducked as the piece of metal flew at his head.
" You people are crazy," Henry said.
" Thank you!" Addison cried from the front. Lee, Alec, and Addison ducked as another slab of metal went flying in that direction.
" Yup, they are definitely nutty," Terriermon said. They had picked up Guilmon before nearing Hypnos HQ. It was a good thing, because as they neared an intersection, Daemon ruined the chute.
" I am not paying for that," Jewel said.
" Jason told us Jijimon could get him back into Makeshift, but only if we have a portal open. Let's get him!" Addison cried.
" Oh, sure. It's gonna be so easy to get him in there. You know, we haven't faced an enemy with Daemon's power since GranKuwagamon. And that would be pushing it in the area of power levels!" Lee cried, dodging one of Daemon's claw.
" Nightmare Flame!" Timemon cried. Daemon turned to face him.
" Gigadramon, blast him!" Jewel cried.
" Knock him out of the building! We don't want anyone getting hurt!" Lee cried, then jumped off Cyberdramon, knocking Takato, Henry, Addison, Jewel, and Alec down with him. When they landed in a heap in the dumpster, Jewel was covered with garbage.
" Well. This is attractive," she murmured. At this point, MegaloGrowlmon, Rapidmon, Timemon, Gigadramon, Okuwamon, and Cyberdramon had forced Daemon out of Hypnos HQ. Timemon seemed to have taken the lead of the Tamer Digimon.
" Timemon, try to knock him down here. Jijimon, you'd better be ready," Addison said, grabbing the white card. " Jijimon, get that portal open!" Addison yelled into it.
" You have perfect timing, my son. Specks just finished the portal control," Jijimon said.
" Timemon, get him down here!" Addison yelled, holding the card up in the air. Timemon punched Daemon. Daemon sprawled downward towards the card. A laser beam swooped up and grabbed him, pulling him in, cursing all the way.
" I had no idea you could say that on a kid's show," Okuwamon said.
" Who knew?" Jewel whispered.
" Oh boy. Uh, guys, you may have another problem. We zapped Daemon back to Diaboromon and MaloMyotismon, and back to their homes, but whatever caused the mutation that forced them to merge into Daemon is not here. Jijimon and I think- and Specks agrees, and he's our best scientist- that whatever did this to those two is now loose. There in your world. I'm coming there along with some of our greatest helpers. Cooper, Infrared, and Andrya will be there soon. Elecmon is coming with me. Look, we've got a problem over here, Specks!" Jason's image disappeared, and a crash was heard. " Ow. Oh. Oh. I know I twisted something.' "
" Jason is nuttier than us. Infrared is a live wire. I'm still a little confused on Cooper's attitude. Andrya is one of those cool girls. Anyway, they do have a point. So, maybe now is time for a bit of amends. Sorry about the closed off way we were that day we met. We were a little annoyed by that dumb red head," Jewel chuckled, looking at Jason getting half-electrocuted.
" Clear!" the doctors cried.
" Now that's shocking," Addison chuckled.
" So I'm a dumb red-head, am I?" Reika asked, Renamon standing right behind her.
" What, do I have to spell it out to you, girlie?" Jewel snickered.
" Cat fight. My money's on Jewel," Lee said.
" Then don't put too much on her," Reika growled. Renamon made a speedy digivolve, but Muchomon just stayed Rookie.
" That's you're choice?" Reika asked, chuckling.
" Uh, I'd move out of the way, Lucy," Jewel chuckled. Taomon was soon sprawled on the ground there next to Reika, dedigivolving back to Renamon. " And I didn't even need a card."
" You just got lucky. I'll take you out next time," Reika said, Renamon and her disappearing.
" Now, we need a plan," Addison said. There were a few flashes of light, and Jason, Elecmon, Infrared, Cooper, and Andrya were there.
" I couldn't have put it better myself," Jason said.
What will the plan be? Will the thing that created Daemon be stopped? Will the bill for the damage to Hypnos HQ be out of Yamaki's payroll? Find out in the next episode of ' Digimon Tamers: Tamers All Around!'
" Jason, Monochromon has begun banging into the Head Office. We've got a job to do," she said.
