Gomamon and Biyomon where looking out of the window of Joe's Church, snuggling quite closely as they kept an eye out. Gomamon started nuzzling Biyomon's neck, when Biyomon cried out. "Gomamon stop!"

Gomamon didn't remove his face from his girlfriend's Biyomon neck. "Why should I do that?" He started kissing Biyomon's neck.

Biyomon chuckled. "I mean someone's coming!"

Gomamon looked out the window. A group of people was heading down the street towards them. "It's Mimi, she's safe!" Gomamon squinted. "But who's that with them?" There was some girl he didn't recognize, a tall female humanoid digimon, and… "Gabumon! Biyomon, its Gabumon!"

The two digimon ran for the door, meeting everyone as they entered through the doors.

Mimi bent down, hugging Biyomon and Gomamon as they ran up to her. "Mimi we're glad your safe." Gomamon cheered. He let go and grabbed Gabumon's paw, shaking it vigorously. "And Gabumon, I haven't seen you in years. What happened to you?"

Gabumon didn't know quite what to say, that he was a servant of Gamma, that his human Matt was Gamma? Fate intervened him from answering though when Biyomon flew up, looking over this new human girl. She was trying to drag up some memory, something she thought she had forgotten a long time ago. Suddenly a name came to her. "Sora?"

Sora looked over this pink bird with surprise. "Do I know you?" Sora knew she never met this digimon before, but in some strange way, she felt like she did.

"You're supposed to." Biyomon bowed her head. "It doesn't matter, you're here now."

Gomamon had stopped shaking Gabumon's paw, and was looking up at Lillymon. "Who are you?"

Lillymon smiled. "Sorry, maybe this will help." Lillymon turned white with light. Her form shrunk until she stood just a little taller than Biyomon. When she stopped glowing, Palmon stood in her place. "Remember me now?"

"Palmon!" Gomamon and Biyomon jumped her, laughing and cheering as they embraced in a group hug. "Where have you been all this time? When you disappeared on us we assumed the worst."

"I've been around." Palmon laughed, but to herself. (I became Epsilon, and am one of you biggest enemies, and you don't even know that.) "How have you all been?"

"It's been tough Palmon." Gomamon breathed deeply. "We are doing all we can to help, but the Council of Five is just too much."

"I know." Palmon choked down a chuckle. "Is there a place where we can rest for a bit? It's just been a rough day."

Biyomon nodded "They're all rough days." She motioned up some stairs. "We will give you a private room. The humans don't care for new characters, especially digimon."

Sora looked in a large room, filled with sick and injured people. Her sheltered life as Gamma's servant prevented her from ever seeing any of the horrors that existed today. "My god…" She replied.

Mimi went up next to her. "I know. Horrible isn't it."

Sora was instantly ashamed of herself. Years spent cowering in that mansion, never seeing what was happening around her. She felt selfish and greedy, and wanted to make things right. "What can I do to help?"

Mimi smiled knowingly. "Come on I'll show you what you can do. We can always use an extra pair of hands."

Meanwhile, Biyomon lead Gabumon and Palmon up into a private room with two cots. "Here you go. It's not much but it's all we have. Have a good sleep. Me and Gomamon are going to stand watch."

Palmon smiled at Biyomon. "Be careful."

Biyomon nodded and left the room closing the door behind her. Gabumon was already on one of the cots, sitting up against the wall. Palmon sat on the cot across from Gabumon. "So... have you thought about going back to Gamma?"

"Yeah..." Gabumon admitted. "I know it is my destiny to be with Matt, but... I saw those poor people. I can't belive Matt would do that, for TK or not. I... I can't be a part of it anymore." Gabumon began to breath heavily.

(Idiot.) Palmon thought. (Gamma gives you protection, and you turn it away.) Palmon put on a smile. "And what about your friend Sora?"

"She won't go back either. I saw how she looked at those patients. She will want to stay. I know her well." Gabumon admitted.

"I bet you do." (Looks like Gamma will need to line up a new serving girl as well.) Palmon stretched her arms. "Well I need a rest." (Even Council of Five members need their sleep.) "It's been a day."

"Yeah." Gabumon lay down on the cot. (Matt...) He thought. (I do hope you come back to me. To your family. To TK.)



There was a knock at the door about twenty minutes after Gabumon and Palmon started slumbering. The two woke up, and Palmon called to the door, "Come in."

Biyomon and Gomamon came in with Mimi behind them. Mimi regarded them a little cautiously. She still did not trust that blue furred digimon, despite Gomamon's assurances that he was fine. The plant digimon Palmon on the other hand saved her life. She almost felt a connection with her in a strange way. On the other hand, when she looked into her eyes, there was something there, something that shouldn't be there. Mimi couldn't quite figure out what, but it definatly seemed out of place. She pushed the thought from her mind. "We've got company. Someone reported that there seem to be a group of digimon and humans coming up the street." That in itself was rare. Except for Gomamon, Biyomon, and the underground digimon, most of the digimon were evil.

Gabumon and Palmon headed with them. "Just a second." Palmon announced. She turned white, crying "Palmon digivolve to TOGAMON." An enormous cactus took up almost the entire room, pushing Gabumon out the door. "Maybe something a little more compact….Togamon digivolve to LILLYMON!" The cactus disappeared replaced by a flower, where a beautiful plant girl flew out. Lillymon smiled as she took form. "Just in case they're trouble." (And in case Veemon's there and he remembers that I'm Epsilon.) Lillymon brushed her vine hair. (Pity if he does, I'd hate to have to delete such a cute digimon.)
