The Next Day
Shinjuku
After a good night's rest, Takato Matsuda saw it fit to take another trip to the park. The weekend had finally arrived and that meant a whole weekend without any homework. Good thing Takato didn't get any since his school had finished taking exams.
"This is great! Without anymore tests to worry about, we can spend more time at the park, Guilmon."
"That's good. I really hate to see you cramped up at home. Besides, playing is so much better than being cooped up."
"You betcha! Hmmm, I wonder when Henry and Rika will show up."
"Maybe they slept through their alarm clocks?"
"Knowing Henry by now, he's probably sleeping in. I'm not too sure about Rika…"
"Thinking about me again, goggle head?"
The boy turned around and found the source of the voice. It was none other than the Digimon Queen herself, Rika Nonaka. Her digimon partner, Renamon, phased at her side.
"We were just talking about ya," Takato said. "I guess you're not into sleeping in on a Saturday, are you?"
"You know me too well," she replied. "But that's not why I came here. Renamon has been telling me about what she encountered last night."
"Last night?"
"Yes, Takato," Renamon stated. "I was out to stroll through the city to find a meditation spot, until I felt an disturbing presence. No, it wasn't a disturbing presence. It was definitely the power of evil itself… Pure evil…"
"Would you stop giving us the suspense treatment and just tell us?" Takato demanded.
"Very well… It all started…"

Flashback
The boy lifted his head and a sinister grin forms on his face. He chuckled a low, demonic tone with his eyes emitting a dark red aura.
"Yes… I've found a body full of youth. I can maintain my form and build up my strength until then. Nobody will suspect my arrival. This is perfect. I'll deceive this boy's family and gain access into this secret system they call Hypnos. From there, I will hunt down for the earth's greatest energy sources. I must find them to increase my power and allow me to gain access back to the Digital World to crush those retched Sovereign! They'll pay dearly for ever crossing me, Lord Pharaohmon!"
"…I was unable to read his mind and I was beginning to feel out his presence. It sent chills down my spine… It usually would take more than just an enemy digimon to intimidate me, but I was felt stiff as a statue. I never felt such a frightening power… I'm afraid not even our bio-merged forms would be able to stop it…"
The boy's eyes started emitting a red aura, which was invisible to his parent's keen sense of sight. A sinister grin once again forms on the boy's face as he started chanted a dark ritual tongue to himself.
"Arise my children. It's time that the creatures of the night begin their feasting!"
With that said, the seeds started to open up releasing large beetle-like creatures with a distinctive blue marking on their backs.
"That's it my Scrabmon. Begin you're search and report to me when you find any available power sources. Make sure to crush any opposition that stands in our destiny. Go and make you're lord proud!"
The Scrabmon swarm started flying out towards the skylines above to begin their mission for their lord and master, Pharaohmon. After nearly a year of peace and quiet, another swarm of digital creatures has begun their invasion on the city of Shinjuku.
"He has sent out hordes of insect digimon known as Scrabmon. They've been sent to locate find some source of powerful artifacts and retrieve them. That's only one of their objectives, the other is to crush any opposition that crosses his path…"
End of Flashback

"And something tells me that we're definitely qualified on that opposition list," Takato replied. "Wait a minute, but we've dealt with evil before."
"You're wrong, Takato. The Devas were simply sent by orders of Zhuqiaomon. They were unaware of our bond with humans. They are merely misunderstood. The D-Reaper was simply a program doing it's own bidding. However, this monster is truly evil. There's no reasoning with it. If he gains any form of ancient power from this world, then he will annihilate humankind for his own selfish greed."
"So, how powerful will he get if he were to gain ancient artifacts?"
"Well, Takato. I'd hate to say this but he'll even possess the power to force all four Sovereign to tremble before him."
"You still haven't told us about guy's name," Rika said. "We deserve to know who we're up against."
"Renamon. You can't keep this a secret. Who is this heartless monster?"
The vulpine sighed to herself as she prepared to announce the name of the monster's true identity.
"Pharaohmon. Currently, he's at a mega level, but his body is weakened and has possessed a boy's body."
"A boy's body? Did you at least get a description?" Takato asked.
"I was unable to. Pharaohmon must have traced my whereabouts and rendered my keen senses useless..."
"Whoa, if he can do that, Guilmon won't be able to sniff him out."
"But my nose always knows!"
"Ok, guys. We're going to have to keep our eyes open. There's no telling when these Scrabmon will show up. They also could be under disguise," Rika said. "These creeps sound more clever than I thought. Especially if they can render Renamon's senses useless."
"Then we'll just have to find them with our eyes. Kind of sucks to be you huh, Guilmon?"
Guilmon simply nods to his partner with a defeated look. The digimon would now have a more difficult task to locating the Scrabmon, since they have inherited Pharaohmon's ability to block out any other digimon's keen senses. They might as well be handicapped animals with their sixth senses taken away.
"Wait, shouldn't we wait for Henry?" said Takato. "He has every right to know about this."
"Call him up and let him know about everything. I'll be over around you're school. Let's go, Renamon!"
With that said, the girl ran off out from the park and off to Takato's school. Renamon follows close behind and phases out to the furthest location. Takato goes off to find the nearest pay phone booth.
"Hurry up, Guilmon! We don't have time to waste!"
"Coming! You really should have drawn me long legs!"

Elsewhere within the city of Shinjuku, a travel bus drops off a group of four teens across from Takato's school. It was Yugi Muto, Joey Wheeler, Tea Gardner and a tall teen with a brown hair and a point at the tip.
"Ok, so what are we doing here again?" the brown haired teen asked.
"We're here because Yami has foretold of me of an evil presence here, Tristan" Yugi replied. "If he claims this presence is an even greater evil than Yami Marik, we're definitely going to have to keep our eyes open. Oh and did you guys bring you're card decks like I've asked?"
"We sure did," Joey replied. "But why do we need our decks for? It's not like we have to duel this creep-a-zoid."
"No, but Yami has instructed me to bring my deck. I figured it was an even better idea if you guys also brought you're decks. I don't know what my spirit is planning, but you can bet it's something to aid us."
"I've got you," Tea replied. "So all we need to do is find anybody acting peculiar."
"Like that guy over there!" Joey points out towards a hobo with a bag of whiskey.
"No, Joey. I don't think he's peculiar enough," Yugi chuckled.
"Hey, I was just testing ya," Joey replied. "But listen, seriously. Shouldn't you're spirit be picking up that evil creep right about now?"
"Unfortunately, Yami hasn't been able to trace him. My guess this guy is under a disguise cloak and if he can even block even Yami's senses, then we're going to have a hard time looking for this guy. So, I say we stick together until some event takes place."
"Sounds like a plan," Tristan said. "Say, shouldn't we like be getting a bite first? I haven't gotten anything into my stomach since this morning."
"You said it! Let's go find the nearest burger joint!"
Tea and Yugi simply looked on with dumbfounded glares. Just as Yugi was about to get serious, the two macho men just had to bring up the idea of food.
"They'll never change, even when the danger is dangerously close," Tea muttered.
"Then again, nothing beats an empty stomach. Let's go."
As soon as he said that, Yugi heads off to follow his two buddies to find the nearest food joint. There are plenty of burger places to choose from. Tea simply couldn't resist the taste of a burger with fries. She races off after her masculine friends.
"Hey! Thanks for waiting, guys!"
Looking on from afar, a trench coat figure with red glowing eyes snickered under his breath. He hides behind the bush and uncloaks himself to be a Scrabmon.
"So, that boy has an artifact which my master seeks? Interesting, I'd better keep my eye on this boy and his comrades. Soon my master will gain every source of ancient power to become a god. Nobody, not even the Sovereigns, will comprehend his authority!"
Suddenly, the Scrabmon looks up and finds a leaping neon-coated fox. The insect glares up to Renamon. Luckily for him, Renamon's senses were unable to pick up his presence.
"Good. My master was fortunate to have given us his share of his own power. Those wretched digi-fools can't even trace our locations. We can freely move about. Oh, this is so sweet. All right, it's back to work I go. I won't fail you, my lord."
The Scrabmon retrieves his trench coat and quickly conceals himself. He freely walks through the crowd and easily blends in. He will now seek out Yugi's Millennium Puzzle and claim it for Pharaohmon. How unfortunate for Yugi to arrive at the wrong time. The again, he and his friends weren't being expected to be targets by a group of insect creatures bent on carrying out a madman's orders.
Things weren't looking good for Renamon as she stood on top of a nearby church. Her senses were rendered useless.
"If only these sneaks did not conceal their presence. It's as if I'm looking for a needle in the haystack. Rika is not going to be happy when I tell her this."
xxxxx
Shibuya
The busy city of Shibuya was also another prime target for Pharaohmon's horde. They easily concealed themselves within many hiding areas and have found perfect camouflage disguises to themselves hidden within the dark. Fortunately, they weren't deal with any digimon like their comrades were handling in Shinjuku. It was basically an open field day, but they were to cause no havoc unless an opposition decides to challenge them.
However, things couldn't have gotten any better than our three college-based Sailor Senshi were dealing with at the moment. Instead of battling unearthly monsters hell bent on destroying their world, they were stuck at the local Shibuya library to catch up on their studies.
"Yech, now I'm really beginning to wonder why Usagi hates studying," Minako stated.
"I agree," replied a girl with brown hair tied into a ponytail.
"Oh, it couldn't be that bad, Makoto," another girl with long, raven hair replied.
"Speak for yourself, Rei," said Minako. "Admit it. We don't need this crap. We want to study for our majors."
"So, what is you're major again, Minako?" Rei asked.
"Um, well… I want to major in physical education. Yeah, I want to be a volleyball instructor."
"Well, you are on the school's volleyball team. Trying to reclaim your former glory."
"Rei. I'm hurt. You know I haven't gotten the chance to really catch up on my glory days. Besides, I bet you I'll become a sensation."
"Let's put it this way, university competition is very tough. You better keep you're ball in the game, Minako," Makoto replied.
"I know. I just can't resist my urge to get away from this crap. C'mon, let's go and take a break. We deserve it."
"I suppose," Rei said. "We have been studying for about an hour or two, what do you say we-"
Just as Rei was about to finish her sentence, her two friends had already ran out through the door. Rei was left speechless and an mouth gaping wide open. "I wasn't even finished yet…"
However, Rei breaks out from her trance and rushes out through the front door to catch up with her friends. She races off to catch up with Minako and Makoto.
"Hey, you guys weren't going to leave me in there were you?"
"Nah, we wouldn't abandon our good friend like that," Makoto said with a fake smile.
"Besides, we know you want to get good grades. We understand."
"You guys. I'm not like Ami. At least I take breaks from all that studying. Man, I really wish Ami were still here. I wonder how life in America is treating her."
"I did get an e-mail from her a week ago. She's doing quite well and she's seeing this guy," Minako replied.
"Whoa! Hold on! Ami is seeing a guy?" Makoto asked. "Our Ami?"
"Yeah, what's the big deal? I know she's shy, but she's quite easy to get along with," the blonde replied. "Besides, university life actually does wonders for people like Ami. I really do hope she'll become a doctor like she's always wanted to be."
"C'mon, I know she'll succeed. What we need to do is worry about ourselves," said Rei. "Oh and you think you could give me her new e-mail, Minako?"
"Sure. I'll write it down later. Hey, guys? You know what I saw the other day?"
"What?"
"When I went to pick up some games the other day at this game shop, I saw these kids talking about some card game called Duel Monsters."
"Oh that game? I hear it's already become a big hit since a huge tournament took place in Domino City," Makoto said.
"Well, I'm not much into those silly games," Rei said. "I've got other priorities."
"Those kids are so cute with their cards. It's as if they're brainwashed into buying those cards. I'll admit it's silly, but cute," said Minako.
"Like those kids over there?" Makoto points out.
The girls looked over towards two boys sitting across a bench with their duel cards. It was none other than Takuya and Tomoki. Minako easily recognized them. These were the two boys she mentioned from the game shop.
"Hey! Those are the boys I was talking about," Minako said. "Whoa, what a coincidence."
"Yeah, talk about a coincidence. Look at them. They're having a lot of fun with those silly games," Rei said. "Kids these days…"
"Can't blame them for liking something popular these days," Makoto said. "Remember the Poke Craze?"
"Now it's the Duel Monster Craze?"
"I wouldn't know about that, Rei. I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving. I could go for some ice cream right about now. Hey! Just my lucky day!" Minako cries out.
"If she keeps this up, she'll become the next Usagi," Makoto muttered.
"Ugh, don't remind me. There shouldn't be two of them in this world," Rei replied.
Unaware of what was taking place, the girls were being watched upon a pair of trench-coated figures outside of the ice cream pallor. Even Rei's senses were rendered just as Renamon's were. Pharaohmon actually played his cards right, especially taking out an individual's sixth sense.
"Are you sensing that my brethren? Those girls have incredible magic powers. This could be what Lord Pharaohmon has been searching for. They're definitely no ancient artifacts, but they still should give our lord the power boost he needs to jumpstart his rampage. It's only a matter of time, my lord. You shall emerge as the Digital World's living nightmare."
Suddenly, Rei turns and saw the disguised Scrabmon. She simply turns away and was unable to pick up any form of dark vibes. The Scrabmon were very fortunate for this and thankful that their lord bestowed them with a portion of his concealing powers.
"What's wrong, Rei?" Makoto asked.
"Nothing, I thought I saw something. It was nothing."
"Oh."
"Hey, guys! They've got a peanut butter and almond flavor!" Minako calls out.
Rei and Makoto simply sighed towards Minako's cheerful and boastful manners. The cloaked Scrabmon managed to flee without getting too suspicious. However, a boy with long black hair tied into a ponytail looks on. He was wearing a blue long sleeve with a white shirt underneath and was wearing a pair of black pants. His head was covered by a blue bandana. Even though he doesn't have the sixth sense ability, he was able to realize that the cloaked figures were just getting a little too suspicious even for him.
"What are those guys up to? They're doing a pretty crappy job at trying to keep themselves from being suspicious. Especially if they're wearing cloaks. I better check this one out."
With that said, the boy runs off to follow after the cloaked figures. He came running by and rushed passed Takuya and Tomoki. The goggle boy took notice of the boy and calls out to him.
"Hey, you should watch where you're going!"
"Wasn't that Kouji, Takuya?"
"Huh? Oh, crap! That was him! But why was he in such a hurry? C'mon, let's go see what he's up to. We'll finish this game a little later."
"Okay."
The two boys shuffled up their decks and raced off to follow their friend, Kouji Minamoto. Unfortunately, Kouji was running faster than they could ever hope to gain.
"Man! I just had to skip P.E. class for nothing! Hey, do you mind slowing up?!"
"How can he keep up like that?"
"Geez and I play lots of soccer. That pitiful is that?!"
Kouji kept his eye locked towards the cloaked figures and watched them head through an alleyway.
"You won't get away from me now!"
Just as the boy turned at the corner, he found that the figures had vanished. Yes, they had disappeared without a trace. Kouji was left speechless.
"Damn! Where did they go?"
"Hey, Kouji!"
The bandana-wearing boy turned to face a goggle head at about his age and another smaller boy with a large cap. He quickly recognized them as Takuya and Tomoki.
"Takuya? Tomoki? Whoa, what a coincidence."
"Hey, you didn't even say excuse me," Takuya said. "Anyway, it's cool to see you again."
"So, who were those cloaked guys, Kouji?"
"I don't know, but there was something not right about them. Why would guys wear cloaks out in public like that?"
"Maybe their Muslim or something?" Takuya pondered.
"I doubt it. These guys didn't even have faces under their hoods. They weren't even wearing veils to conceal themselves."
"They didn't have faces? That sounds pretty creepy to me. Right, Takuya?"
"No kidding. So, what now? They're gone? But this alleyway is a dead end and there aren't any backdoors."
"I'm beginning to think these guys might not even be human or they might not even be of our world."
"What are you saying? They couldn't have come from the Digital World. It's been sealed away after we kicked Lucemon to the curb," Takuya said.
"What makes you so sure that there couldn't be another passageway leading from the Digital World. I bet you there's another one out there."
"You're nuts, Kouji. They couldn't have been digimon. Otherwise, they would have attacked us by now."
"That's just the thing. Why didn't they attack us? I'm getting a fishy feeling about this," replied Kouji.
"So, what do we do now?" asked Tomoki.
"I say we wait until they come out again," said Takuya. "Since we have a whole weekend off, we'll keep our eye out."
"It's too bad we don't have our spirits anymore," Tomoki said. "Then we could have really saved the day. It'd be so awesome to relive the old days."
"I know what you mean, dude," Takuya replied. "Say, you know where Junpei is?"
"I haven't seen him or heard from him in months. We've been pretty much split since coming back from the Digital World. I've only been hanging with my brother, Kouichi."
"How's he been?"
"He's doing good and we're pretty much getting closer as a family."
"That's really good to know," said Takuya. "Ok, we'll start our search. Since these guys might be airborne, we have to keep our eyes upwards. There's no telling when they'll pop up again. I just hope they're not digimon as you claim, Kouji."
"It's a possibility. C'mon, there's no time to waste."
With that said, Kouji heads off towards the direction leading to the train station. Takuya and Tomoki were racing along after their comrade.
"Couldn't he have gone a little slower?" Takuya complained.
Unknown to Takuya, his cell phone within his pants pocket was emitting a slight red aura with a familiar symbol artifact forming. Could it really be the spirit of flame or was it just an image of the boy's imagination? There was only one way to find out.

Shinjuku
Our Tamers have been very unsuccessful on their search for the Scrabmon. Obviously Renamon was right about them concealing their identities. Henry and Terriermon were summoned to help Rika and Takato out. Even with another Tamer, they will be having a very difficult time searching out for any peculiar characters.
"Takato, it's going to take us days if not a week!" Henry said. "If what Renamon said about them concealing their identities, we might as well be finding two pennies in a giant piggy bag."
"Wow, that's a pretty whacked out observation, Henry," Terriermon remarked. "Did you come up with that one by yourself?"
"Look, I know it's hard but we can't just give up," Takato said. "If these things are left ignored, who knows what kind of havoc they'll wreck on our city. That's the last thing we need ever since a year ago."
"I hate having to look with my eyes," Guilmon pouted. "I can't even pick up their scent. On the other hand, I probably don't want to. I'm already hungry for another peanut butter-banana sandwich."
"Can't stop thinking of food, huh?" Terriermon asked.
Just then, the boys turned to find Rika racing towards them. Renamon appears before them with a look of frustration. It was obvious that they've failed to find any evidence of the Scrabmon's whereabouts.
"I'm guessing you didn't have any luck?" Takato asked.
"Duh. These things are just toying with us. They probably know we're looking for them and they're blending in with this city. They could be anyone."
"So, we're dealing with a bunch of chameleons here. It's a clever trick on their part," Henry said.
"We're basically screwed, especially if Renamon can't find them," said Takato. "If only there was a ray of hope!"
xxxxx
Elsewhere, Yugi and his friends had just finished getting themselves a bite to eat from a local burger joint. Now with lunch out of the way, Yugi can put his focus on finding the new enemy.
"Ok, guys. Our search begins," Yugi said. "It's time to call forth Yami… YU-GI-Oh!"
With that said, Yugi's Millennium Puzzle emits a golden flash and little Yugi's boy starts to undergo a quick metamorphosis. His stature heightened and his voice deepened. The very presence of the ancient pharaoh stood before his comrades.
"Let's move out," Yami replied. "We have to find this evil before it plans to spread. There's a good chance it maybe after the Millennium Puzzle. We have to be on our guard."
"We're with ya, bud," Joey said.
"We stuck by you through thick and thin," replied Tristan.
"Remember our friendship ring, we'll always stick together," Tea said.
Everyone nodded as they remembered what tea mentioned. They made the pact after Yugi's grandfather was kidnapped by Seto Kaiba and forced into a duel against his will. Yugi looks back and realizes to this day that their bond still hasn't been broken despite all of the past opposition. His enemies attempted to turn his friends against him, but they've failed to realize the true bond of friendship. It was Yugi's friendship for his friends that have kept them together.
"Let's do this, Yug!"
However, the group was unaware that the Scrabmon was watching them. The insects stood on top of a building roof. Their eyes examined Yami's Millennium Puzzle and each felt it's unbelievable power.
"Yes, my brethren. Now is the perfect opportunity to take that ancient artifact and hand it to Lord Pharaohmon. But first let us wait until we draw them out into an isolated area. We can easily crush them without any distractions getting in our way."
"Shall we report this to Lord Pharaohmon?"
"Yes, he has every right to know. I'll send a distress signal…"
As soon as the Scrabmon finished their discussion, the horde leader sent out a telepathic message to Pharaohmon. Fortunately, Pharaohmon's telepathic powers were still intact.
xxxxx
Lance stood out from his family's hotel balcony and looks out to the beautiful blue skies. The wind blew Lance's hair across his face, which forced him to push his hair back. Just then, he quickly reacts to his minion's distress signal and responds to his message.
"Lord Pharohmon. We have wonderful news to report.
"Go on. Did you find any form of ancient artifact."
"Yes. We've located a boy with a group of his comrades. He seems to be wearing an artifact and there is a great, ancient power from within. It seems to give this boy some sort of magical powers. I do believe this ancient power has possessed the boy's body."
"Is that so? How fortunate for him to arrive at the right place and the right time."
"Would you mind if we were to make our move and take the boy's artifact?"
"Yes. We must act quickly. I'm not too certain if my essence will stay intact within this boy's body. These humans do not provide the best source of energy, which furthers my hatred for them. Do not fail me, my minions. Destiny will soon be at hand."
As soon as he finished, a woman calls out to the boy. Lance turns and sees his mother with some rather casual clothes.
"Are ready to go explore through the city? I hear they have some really successful markets out here. Maybe there's some thrift stores with some nice designers blouses and some summer dresses. I could use some of those…"
"Um, I'm coming mom!"
"Well hurry it up. We've got a lot of shopping to do."
"Foolish woman. Once I gain that artifact, she'll die a rather slow, painful death. What a beautiful way to die…"
Lance walks out with his mother out into the popular market squares of Shinjuku. Unfortunately, that would mean that Pharaohmon would possibly find the whereabouts of the Tamers. His hopes lie within his minions and their chances of gaining Yugi's Millennium Puzzle.

Shibuya
Pharaohmon's second horde were managing their time wisely as they set their sights on the three Sailor girls. Even though, they found no ancient artifacts, they have found interest with the girl's powers. If they were to steal their energy, then that would only supply a little boost to Pharaohmon's much needed power.
"Their powers shall be quite nicely, my brethren. Pharaohmon will be pleased once we give him their power."
"It will just be one step from Pharaohmon regaining his godly stature."
"It's time we pay these disgusting humans a little homage."
With that said, the cloaked insect clan walks towards the ice cream pallor where the three Sailors were getting ready to leave. The clan purposely bumped into the girls. Minako took offense to this and stood in their way.
"Hey, just what do you think you're doing bumping into us like that? You say excuse me and we'll walk by and forget about this whole thing ever happened."
"We're sorry, miss. We didn't mean to bump into you without properly introducing ourselves. But first, we want you're energy."
"Energy? Just what are trying to play here?" Makoto asked.
"This is no game. We merely want you're energy to give to our humble master! Now allow us to introduce ourselves!"
With that said, the clan removed their cloaks and revealed themselves to be a pair of Scrabmon. The three girls stood their ground as the crowd of people started running out.
"Ah, I just love the screams of fear," said one Scrabmon.
"Yuck! Just what we needed, bugs!" Minako remarked.
"Just who are you?!" Rei demanded.
"We're Scrabmon, loyal servants to Lord Pharaohmon. Though we shouldn't really give out our true identities, but it really doesn't matter."
"Why's that?"
"Because you three are going to die once we take you're hidden powers! We sense that you require these powers to ensure you're survival. We shall take them away and you will die."
"So you sensed our powers?!" Makoto said.
"Then they know we're Sailor Senshi!" Rei thought. "We have to take this elsewhere and not involve any innocent bystanders."
"Yes I agree. We should take this elsewhere," a Scrabmon said. "Don't even pull that stunt off. We're telepathic."
"Great. Now you've formally introduced yourselves. Let's take this to the park."
"As you wish, we'll be meeting you there shortly, human trash."
As soon as they said that, the Scrabmon teleported out from the pallor and were relocated to Shibuya Park. The three Senshi were left with no other option but to follow them out.
"Hey, something tells me those things could be related to those monsters that attacked Shinjuku a year ago," Minako points out while racing towards the park.
"No kidding? I think they were called digimon," said Makoto. "That's it. I remember that pig attacked Shinjuku. You don't think these guys are in any way involved with them?"
"It's a good possibility. We better watch ourselves. If these guys can read minds, then they could predict our every attack."
"That's impossible! They haven't even seen us battle our past enemies," Minako said. "What makes you even think that, Rei?"
"Just call it a hunch. These guys might be a little more than we can bargain."
The girls rushed through every crowd and managed to get inside Shibuya Park. From here, they would begin their battle with the Scrabmon clan.
xxxxx
Elsewhere, the Senshi weren't the only ones within the park. Kouji, Takuya and Tomoki were also searching for the Scrabmon. Though, the insects hadn't revealed their identities to the children, Kouji was still certain that the enemy would relocate themselves in a perfect hiding area like the park.
"You really think they're in the park?" Takuya asked.
"Positive. This is the obvious hiding spot where bad guys could find themselves. Don't you even watch any of those movies?"
"Nah, I've got better things on my spare time…"
"Like playing Duel Monsters and hanging with me?"
"You said it, Tomoki."
"Quiet!"
"What's the deal, Kouji?"
"Look! We've found the culprits." Kouji pointed out to the Scrabmon clan.
"They don't even notice us behind this bush, but what are they waiting on?" Tomoki pondered.
"Who knows, but something tells me things are only going to get really ugly," Takuya replied.
xxxxx
Shinjuku
The other Scrabmon clan decided that the time was right to begin their assault as Pharaohmon instructed them. They watched as Yami Yugi and his friends were walking by. A Scrabmon picks up a concrete block and tosses it down toward Yugi. The pharaoh saw the massive block plummeting and jumps away.
"Yug!" Joey calls out.
"Yugi!" Tea and Tristan cried out.
"What was that just now?!" Yami retorts. "Show yourself, coward!"
Responding to the pharaoh's demand, the cloaked insects stood on top of the roof with eyes glaring down at Yami. Joey stood by his friend's side in order to back him up.
"Hey! You guys are starting to bring back ugly memories of the Rare Hunters!" Joey exclaimed.
"Who are you and what do you want?!"
"We're here to take you're ancient artifact, fool. It's power shall be necessary to fuel our master's power."
"Take the Millennium Puzzle?! I've had enemies try doing so and they all failed."
"Yes, but Pharaohmon wishes for the artifact to be handed to him. But we must take you're life in order to fulfill his wish. Now hand it over!"
"Over my dead body! You'll have to deal with all of us!"
"Fine. Let's make this game a little more interesting. Meet us over at the bridge in a sector they call West Shinjuku. You'll find us there."
With that said, the clan teleports out and relocates to the bridge. Yami Yugi and his friends were aware of the location.
"Let's go!" Yami calls out. "I swear that they'll never take the Millennium Puzzle!"
Fortunately, Takato and his friends were also there to witness the events unfold. They no longer had to search out the enemy since they were no revealed.
"You heard him! Let's head out!" Takato said. "Thank goodness. We don't have to look for them anymore!"
"We must be cautious. These creatures could possibly be stronger than even the Devas were," Renamon said. "They each possess Pharaohmon's uncanny powers."
"Then, what are we all standing around here for?! Let's get going!" Rika said.
The Tamers and their digimon raced over towards West Shinjuku. They would then meet up with Yugi's group and find themselves at the exact location where Terriermon battled Musayamon.
"Guilmon! We're definitely going to need Growlmon for this!"
"Right!"
As soon as the Tamers arrived at the bridge, they found Yami's group confronted by the Scrabmon clan. The cloaked insects unveiled themselves and prepared to face off against the two groups.
"Look, I see we have a little company," a Scrabmon said. "They have digimon partners? Interesting. So there are humans worthy of taming a digimon."
"What?! Who are those children?" Yami asked. "Hey, who are you?!"
"We're here to help! Just call us digimon tamers!" Takato responds. "Hey! I know you! You're Yugi Muto! You're the winner of both the Duelist Kingdom and Battle City tournaments! Awesome!"
"Goggle head! Hello! We're here on an important task! Stay focused," Rika retorted.
"Heh, sorry. I couldn't contain myself."
"So, these are the whackos you're telling us about?" Terriermon asked.
"Yes and we must be cautious."
"How fortunate for you all to challenge our lord's power. I see many sources of unlimited power within this area. As you can see we're contained in a dome, just call it a shadow barrier. To make sure no bystanders distract us, we can fight it out to our heart's content."
"I guess you don't want to hurt innocent power do you?" Tea asked.
"Bah! Once we're done with you worms, Lord Pharaohmon will send us out to kill each of you humans! Once we're done here, we'll return to the Digital World and the Sovereigns will have no choice but to bow to our lord. It's his destiny to claim godhood over the Digital World! Do we make ourselves clear? Now, let us begin."
"Just one question! Why do you seek my Millennium Puzzle?!"
"It's simple. With every powerful ancient artifact, our master's power will grow unanimously. That way he doesn't have to absorb the energy from you filthy humans. He'd rather kill you than take you're expendable energy."
"I see. You're master was no different than the evil that possessed Marik. You seek nothing but to spread fear and chaos. Together, we shall crush you! Now behold the power of my Millennium Puzzle!"
With that said, Yami's puzzle unleashed a powerful golden aura that flashed through his card deck. The same went for his friend's decks.
"By tapping into the power of my Millennium Puzzle, we can unleash our most powerful monsters! Joey! Tristan! Tea! Now!"
With that said, the trio drew each of their favorite cards. Joey draws out the Flame Swordsman. Tristan unleashes his Cyber Commander. Tea unleashes the Magician of Fate. Yami unleashes his old favorite, the Dark Magician.
"Behold these four have come to life with the power of my Millennium Puzzle! You're lord has a lot to learn as far as knowing the in-depth true behind it's mystical power. So, what do you say?"
"I say you're still going to fail and that puzzle will be ours."
"Oh… my… god…" Takato muttered. "Am I just seeing things?! I thought they were supposed to be holograms…"
"They sure are real," Guilmon said.
"That's because they are! I don't want to believe it, but that Yugi kid used some form of ancient power to summon the monsters to life!"
"Man, this is so cool!"
"Takato! We're going to have to send our digimon out to battle."
"If these things are stronger than the Devas, then they will need to digivolve into their ultimate forms! Guilmon! Let's show 'em what War Growlmon is all about!"
"Terriermon."
"Ready for a little butt kicking!"
"Renamon!"
"Let's do it."
(Digimon Tamers "Evolution" theme plays)
The Tamers trio pulls out their blue cards and slashes them through their D-Arks.
"Card Slash! Evolution!"
"Guilmon chou shinka!!"
The red dinosaur quickly digivolves into an even larger monster with a streak of white fur on it's head and a pair of horns. After that, it develops a metallic armor on his chest, arms, and head. The newly evolved monster roars out and calls out his official ultimate name.
"War Growlmon!"
"Terriermon chou shinka!!"
Terriermon evolves straight into a larger rabbit with a green-mask covering his face, a pair of gantline guns and pants with a strap over his chest. After that, he grows and develops a green armor body with arms shaped like missile launchers and blue eyes overlapping his once black, beady ones. The newly evolved digimon calls out his name.
"Rapidmon!!"
"Renamon chou shinka!!"
Renamon evolves straight into a larger, fox-like animal with a pair of nine tails on her posterior and a red-white loop around her neck. Then she quickly somersaults around a full moon. Her body transforms into that of a bipedal figure with a fox mask covering her face and a Buddhist outfit. The ying-yang emblem was embedded on her shirt chest. She turns and calls out her official name.
"Taomon!!"
Yami and his friends were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of three digimon. Joey recalls to the events of the Devas and the D-Reaper from the television news.
"Hey! These are the same ones that battled that pig monster and that slime mass that almost ate Shinjuku!" Joey points out.
"You're right and these must be the children who helped save Shinjuku a year ago!" Tea replied.
"You're right and we have to work together! It's for the sake of not just our world but also the Digital World. Guilmon and the others just came back from the Digital World. We can't let this Pharaohmon claim power over the two worlds. Please, you have to let us fight alongside you."
"Well, Yug?"
"I have no argument against their decision. They'll definitely be a big help. We both have common interests: to seek out and destroy any evil opposition. There's no turning back, Joey."
"You hear that, creep-a-zoids? We're kicking you're asses to the curb!"
"Such big talk from a group of children! All right! You leave us no choice but to kill you all right now!"
"Stand firm guys!" Takato said.
"This battle has just begun," Yami replied. "We have to be careful. If we make on mistake, they'll tear us apart. We must trust in our abilities."

Shibuya Park
The three Sailors confronted the Scrabmon clan. Looking on from behind a bush were Takuya, Kouji and Tomoki. They were anticipating on what was going to transpire and they questioned why a group of college girls would stand firm against a trio of insect warriors hell bent on carrying out a madman's desires.
"We're so glad you decided to take that long trip over just for us to take away you're lives," a Scrabmon said. "Such a shame, but we're only here to take you're powers away."
"Heh, what makes you guys so sure? You're so full of yourselves. Have you forgotten that it's going to take more than just trash talk to win against us Sailor Senshi!" Rei calls out.
"Sailor Senshi?"
(Sailor Senshi Transformation theme plays)
The three girls pulled out their transformation pens and each of them calls out their official transformation cry.
"Mars Crystal Power!! Make-Up!!"
Rei became enshrouded in a mystical wave of flames and her body was altered into a different outfit. Gone were her normal civilian clothes. They were replaced by a transparent fuku (skirt) and a Japanese school uniform-like top. There was now a heart-shaped object on the middle of her brooch with a bow on the front. A golden tiara with a red emerald forms at the center of her forehead.
"Jupiter Crystal Power!! Make-Up!!"
Makoto became enshrouded through powerful streaks of lighting and her body was altered into the same kind of outfit that Rei was now wearing. However, her outfit has distinctions of green instead of red. A heart-shaped object forms on her brooch and a tiara with a green emerald appears around her forehead.
"Venus Crystal Power!! Make-Up!!"
Minako became enshrouded through a wave of beautiful hearts and her outfit was altered into the same kind her comrades were wearing at the moment. Except her outfit have distinctions of yellow and orange instead of green or red.
(Transformation theme ends)
"Ah, so these are the powers of a Sailor Senshi," the Scrabmon clan spoke. "Yes, this is simply just what we need for our master."
"I'm afraid not!" Rei calls out. "As long as evil such as yourselves lurk, we're going to be there to stop you! As guardian of the red planet, I am Sailor Mars!"
"As princess of Jupiter, I'm going to strike you down! I'm Sailor Jupiter!"
"As the guardian of Venus, purity will triumph over darkness! I'm Sailor Venus!"
"In the name of our respective planets, we're going to punish you!"
"Wow, you guys really need to come up with better lines," the Scrabmon retorted. "It really doesn't matter where you claim to have hailed, you will still die by our hands!"
Meanwhile, Takuya, Kouji and Tomoki were taken back by these turns of events. They definitely weren't expecting the college girls to become the Sailor Senshi. They've heard of the Sailor Senshi but have never seen them up close.
"Wow, this is so cool," Tomoki said. "What do you think, Takuya? Takuya?"
The goggle boy was looking on to the three Senshi with googly eyes and drool coming down from his mouth. Tomoki sighs to himself.
"Wow, they're wearing skirts," Takuya said. "I'd really like to look under…"
"Hey, you're forgetting that Izumi would kill you if she heard you say that," Tomoki said. "Man, why are older guys so perverted?"
"This is a fight those Sailors might not win," Kouji said.
"What are you saying? Hello! These are the Sailor Senshi we're talking about here. Ok, they might not be complete but three of them should be enough to take these creeps out."
"That's just the thing. They have no idea of what these guys are made of. I know for a fact these things are digimon and they're completely unaware of that."
"So, what? They can handle those bugs themselves. It'll be a complete squash!"
"Will you wake up, Takuya?! Just call it a hunch. The Sailors will be biting off more than they can chew. If only we had our spirits, then we could at least help them out. They have no experience against digimon types."
"Is he right about these bugs? Could the Senshi actually end up losing?" Takuya thought. "If that's true, then we're definitely going to be needing the spirits again. You know it'd be so cool to be Agunimon again."
Unknown to the goggle boy, his cell phone was still emitting a faint red aura. The symbols of Takuya's ancient spirits were appearing on his cell phone. Takuya's wish to become Agunimon might actually come true after all.

West Shinjuku/The Bridge
(Disturbed's "Fear" plays)
The Scrabmon gathered as the Tamers sent out their digimon while Yami Yugi's group sent out their respective deck monsters. The Scrabmon each flew up and split up. Dark Magician and War Growlmon confronted two Scrabmon from the air above.
"Dark Magician! Use you're Dark Magic!"
"War Growlmon! Radiation Blades!"
The two monsters used their respective attacks on the Scrabmon, but the sneaky insects were able to avoid them. War Growlmon was caught off guard as the Scrabmon pair lashes out their claws across War Growlmon's unshielded back. Dark Magician flies out to stop the insects. However, he felt a hand grab his foot and looks down to find another Scrabmon pulling him down to the concrete below.
"Dark Magician!"
"Going somewhere?" the Scrabmon taunted the Dark Magician.
As soon as War Growlmon recovered, he flies out to take apart the Scrabmon holding Dark Magician captive. Scrabmon leaps over and fires an electric stun beam that easily put a dent on War Growlmon's face. War Growlmon we sent plummeting down from the Scrabmon's excessive blast.
"No! War Growlmon!"
"All right! It's my turn!" Rapidmon cries out. "Which one wants to bite the dust first?"
"Are you referring to me?" another Scrabmon pondered. "I really hope you weren't just talking to yourself."
"Believe me. You can't catch up with my speed."
"Care to demonstrate?"
"Sure, why not?"
With that said, Rapidmon quickly phases out behind the Scrabmon. However much to the armored ultimate's dismay, the insect was already behind Rapidmon.
"What the hell was that? If that was you're fastest, you better start saying you're prayers, rabbit."
"What?! But how could you be faster than I am?"
"You slaves are so predictable. Do you really think you can defeat us? We're one of Pharaohmon's elite! You'll need plenty of years experience to comprehend our power!"
"I can't believe what I just saw!" Henry thought. "They even made Rapidmon look like he just ran through slow motion. Plus, one single Scrabmon was able to bring down even War Growlmon! What are our chances of winning?! We're basically fighting blind here!"
"Joey! We've got to help Yugi's Dark Magician!"
"You got it! Flame Swordsman, save the Dark Magician and use you're flaming sword!"
"Cyber Commander! Defend the big red metal guy!"
"Um, his name is War Growlmon. He doesn't need any defense. Just look at him, he's a walking tank! C'mon, War Growlmon! You send the Cyber Commander to help Taomon out!"
"You got it, kid."
The Flame Swordsman leaps up and slashes at the Scrabmon, who held Dark Magician in it's tight grasp.
"Thank you, Joey!" Yami cries out. "Now, let's give him a double blast!"
"You got it! You hear that, Flame Swordsman? It's going to be a double whammy coming up!"
With that said, Dark Magician and Flame Swordsman prepared to unleash their most devastating attacks on the distracted Scrabmon.
"Dark Magic Attack!"
"Flaming Sword!"
The two monsters sent out their attacks towards the Scrabmon. The insect took the full force head on and was quickly surrounded by a smoke cloud. The monster duo waited for the cloud to dissipate and was curious to know if their attacks were effective.
"Did we get him, Yug?"
"No! It's still alive?!"
"Say what? Oh crap!"
The smoke cloud dispersed and revealed the unscathed Scrabmon. The insect laughed it off and clenched his claws.
"Was that you're best shot? Feh. You're so screwed."
"Crap! What kind of vitamins are these whackos taking?"
"Vitamins? Make that more like steroids!" Tea replied.
"Taomon! Look out!"
As soon as Taomon turned, another Scrabmon phases in front of her and blasts her with an electric stun gun blast.
"Electric Stun Gun Blast!!"
Unfortunately, Taomon was unable to avoid the electrical blast and was caught in it. The Scrabmon pulls back and unleashes a pair of horn cutters to immobilize the ultimate.
"Cyber Commander! Attack!"
But just as Tristan's monster leaped up to stop the insect digimon's relentless attack, he was caught with a horn cutter attack from another Scrabmon.
"Man! These guys are attacking at all sides!" Takato exclaimed. "It's like they've been studying our every move this whole time!"
"Just call it battle's experience. You're digimon partners are too inexperienced despite you the accomplishments you've added to you're repertoire. However, you're performances have been nothing more than pitiful. What kind of a chance do you have against our master?"
"You guys were lucky! You haven't seen anything yet!" Takato growls. "Do the words, bio-merge mean anything to you?"
"Bio-merge?"
"Goggle head! You just read my mind! Let's see you creeps predict this!"
"You guys asked for it!"
"What's going on, Yug?"
"I'm sensing a great power increase from their handheld devices."
"That must what helps their partners transform," said Tristan. "Here I thought they did it by magic."
"Believe me this is no magic trick," Tea said. "Yugi! What's happening to our monsters?"
"Our monsters were severely damaged by the Scrabmon. However, the real reason is the fact that they are inexperienced outside the hologram forms. They can't maintain a physical form over a long period of time. It just works that way. Let's see what this whole bio-merge talk is all about."
As soon as Takato calls out for a bio-merge, the ultimates quickly reverted back to their rookie forms.

BIO-MERGE EVOLUTION
("One Vision" plays)
"Bio-Merge Activate!" Henry calls out.
Henry presses his D-Ark against his chest and a green stream of light quickly covered him. Henry came floating down as if he were entering Terriermon's body as they merged together into one.
"Terriermon bio-merge!!"
Terriermon's body started to buckle down as a green armor covering was surrounding him. His arms and legs were quickly transformed into large limbs equipped into combat. A large backpack-like covering appeared on the back of his armor. His face quickly evolved through all of his evolutions. First from Terriermon and then into Gargomon. Then into Rapidmon and once again back to Terriermon. Afterwards, a view of Henry's face was shown followed by that of a new head that was dog-like and covered with green armor appeared. The new digimon delivers a spin kick and poses above tall-story buildings.
"Mega Gargomon!!"
"Bio-Merge Activate!" Rika cries out.
Rika holds up her D-Ark and quickly presses it against her chest as a stream of blue data quickly shrouded her body. Her hair flew straight up as if a gust of wind was blowing at her and she start to fly freely. Rika seemed to be floating above Renamon as they were beginning to merge.
"Renamon bio-merge!!"
Renamon's body started to transform as a puddle of water was down at her feet. Water came at her side and her paws morphed into that of the limb of that a human. The puddle had a reflection of a cherry-blossom and a full moon at the background. Her feet and legs transformed into of a woman. Her shadow appears in the middle of the puddle and a streak of yellow light came swirling around her with flowers. Then her figure was starting to form. An armored chest covering was formed along with a belt buckle with a fox's face imbedded on it. A pair of high-heel boots also came into formation. Her face quickly evolved through very single of her evolutions. First from Renamon then into Kyuubimon. Then into Taomon and once again into Renamon. A view of Rika's face was shown and then a woman with a fox-face mask was shown. The new figure goes flipping up with a golden staff in one hand. As soon as she came landing down, she stood in the center of a neon-blue light and stood out in a pose.
"Sakuyamon!!"
"Bio-Merge Activate!" Takato calls out.
Takato holds up his D-Ark and presses it against his chest as he exploded with a stream of red data surrounding him. He felt his arms flow freely as he started to float down upon Guilmon as they merged together.
"Guilmon Bio-merge!!"
Guilmon's body started to break down as his reptilian skin was quickly giving way to a much more armored body that was silver. His limbs quickly transformed into that of human limbs. His tail gave way and he was now a bipedal figure. His face quickly evolved into every single of his evolutions. First from Guilmon and then into Growlmon. Then into War Growlmon and then into Guilmon. A view of Takato's face was shown and then a knight's facemask was shown. There was a pair of pure gold eyes underneath the dark silts of the mask. On top of the helmet was the face of Guilmon embedded on the top of his forehead. He goes flying out as a joust came appearing in his hand and a shield formed on the other. The shield has the same 'hazard' sign that was embedded on Guilmon's chest. Finally, a long, red flowing cape appeared as the new digimon soared out into a pose.
"Gallantmon!!"
"Wow! Talk about a growth spurt!" Joey exclaimed.
"Those kids just merged with their digimon?! Wait! I do recall seeing a view of that goggle boy inside that knight!" Tea said. "Who would have thought we would be seeing them before our very eyes?"
"Yugi! Don't you think they'll need help with the Egyptian Gods?" Tristan asked.
"We shall let them handle this. Their power has grown tremendously from their previous forms. I'm certain they won't require the help of the three Egyptian God monsters. I can assure you that."
"I just hope those kids are going to be okay," said Tea.
"Me too, Tea. If these creepy bugs are after my Millennium Puzzle, then these kids will have to defeat them in their bio-merged forms! I just hope they pack enough firepower and I really don't want to risk using the Egyptian Gods again. C'mon, kids. It's all in you're hands now," Yugi said within Yami's thoughts.
The three bio-merged megas faced off against the Scrabmon horde. The insects were surprised by these turns of events, but they managed to stifle a chuckle.
"Well, you kids certainly gave you're pets quite the power boost, but that does not take away the fact that we're still superior to you in every other way. Brethren, we shall kill them and maintain our positions as Pharaohmon's elite!"
"Let's dance," Gallantmon responded to the insect's speech.

Shibuya Park
The Sailor Senshi weren't faring very well against the Scrabmon clan. Their attacks proved to be ineffective.
"Damn! Just what are these things made out of anyway? Our attacks aren't even putting a dent on them!" Sailor Venus retorted.
"These guys are even tougher than the monsters we've faced in the past and it seems they've been predicting our every move," said Sailor Mars.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm not about to give in! Are you with me?" Sailor Jupiter asked.
"Yeah!"
"You worms just won't give up, won't you? You're attacks are pitiful and all you've done was provide a lightshow. Why don't you just make it easy on yourselves and surrender you're powers to Lord Pharaohmon?"
"Why don't you creeps go jerk off instead?!" Sailor Mars growled.
"Was that an insult? Ok, you fools leave us no choice. We're taking you're lives and we're stealing you're powers regardless of what you do!"
With that said, the Scrabmon clan charged the three Sailor Senshi and started to attack them with their most effective attacks. However, Sailor Jupiter leaps up into the air and forms a sphere of electric power over her head.
"You want to play with electricity! I'm more than happy to oblige! Take this!"
Sailor Jupiter tosses the sphere down and catches the clan within it. She then claps her hands together and causes the sphere to explode in front of their faces. The Scrabmon scream out as Jupiter's electrical energy were overwhelming them.
"Yes! It's about time! Mars! Go for you're fire attacks! Venus cut them off from the side!"
"You got it!"
"Wow, they're good," Tomoki said behind the bush. "They might not need help after all."
"They're still in danger," Kouji said.
"Dude, are you blind or something? Those girls are kicking some ass now!" Takuya responded. "There's no way those bugs are going to win!"
"You ought to pay more close attention. Those bugs suckered Sailor Jupiter into shooting them with her electrical attack. They absorbed her power and are going to redirect it to the other two."
"It can't be…"
"I'm afraid so…"
Sailor Mars runs to the other side from where the immobilized insects were standing. She unleashes a fiery blast from one side.
"Mars Flame Sniper!!"
Meanwhile, Sailor Venus runs out to the other side and unleashes a devastating shock blast.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!!"
The insects watched as the attacks were coming out from both directions. Mars and Venus kept their attacks in synch until the Scrabmon regained their senses.
"Ha! You should have finished us when you had the chance!"
With that said, the Scrabmon unleashes a wave of electrical energy that caught both Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus off guard. The two Sailors were sent flying back and their bodies were now battered and bruised.
"Mars! Venus!" Jupiter cries out. "You jerkwads! You tricked us!"
"Of course, we did! Did you really think electricity would kill us? You should have done you're homework, human. Now, I do believe it is our turn."
"Shit. They're going to direct an attack on me. I can't use any of my attacks since they'll simply absorb it and redirect their attack on me. What am I going to do?"
Takuya had seen enough as he stood up from the bushes. Kouji attempted to stop the goggle boy from making any repercussions.
"Takuya! Just what the hell are you doing?! If those things find us here, we're fried chicken!"
"Make that fried Kung pow chicken," Tomoki remarked.
"Sorry, Kouji. But I'm not going to let these creeps have their way with any innocent lives. What if they end up going on a killing spree just to please this lord of theirs. I don't care whom they're working for! I'm not about to let them destroy our home! Do you hear me?! I won't let you hurt anymore people!"
Suddenly, Takuya's cell phone started to emit a bright glow and the device quickly transformed into an object very familiar to Takuya. It was his D-Scanner emblazed with the color of red, which symbolized the element he represented. The warrior of flame is once again reborn. A smile forms across Takuya's face as he holds up his newly revitalized D-Scanner.
"Yes! This is just what the doctor ordered, but how did it come back? Was it my determination to stopping these creeps?"
"What could have triggered it?" Tommy asked.
"I have no idea."
"All right, guys! You just leave this up to me!" Takuya calls out. "Let's rock!"
(Spirit Evolution theme "With the Will" plays)
Takuya holds out his D-Scanner and scans it across his hand to activate his evolution powers.
"Execute!! Spirit Evolution!!"
With that said, the boy's clothes were ripped away and his body became digital. He was then infused with the body armor of his human spirit evolved form. In place of Takuya was a warrior with yellow, shaggy hair and a hair of horns sticking out from the sides of his head. He jumps down and unleashes a wave of fire from his fists. Finally, the warrior calls out his official name.
"Agunimon!!"
"Yeah! Way to go, Takuya! Now kick some tail!" Tomoki cheers on.
"You bet!"
Agunimon heads off through the brushes and out into the open of the battlefield.
"Maybe our spirits will eventually come back to us," Kouji said. "If Takuya can do it, then I should be able to as well. Well, let's see if Takuya is worthy enough to hold the spirit of flames again."
The Scrabmon prepared to unleash their devastating force upon Sailor Jupiter. The girl was prepared to face death early on and refused to accept a coward's death.
"I see you're ready to die honorably," the head Scrabmon said. "Well, we're more than happy to oblige. All right, direct you're attack on the female! Say you're prayers…"
"PYRO TORNADO!!"
Suddenly, a wave of fire swept across the air and caught the Scrabmon off guard. Sailor Jupiter was even more shocked by these turn of events and looked around to find the source of the flames.
"Sailor Mars? No, she's still unconscious. Where did that flame come from?"
"You might want to look above."
The Sailor turned as she saw Agunimon looking down upon her. She was taken back by the warrior's appearance and prepared to unleash her electrical powers.
"Whoa, hold on! I just saved you're ass. Besides, our real enemies are those jackasses."
"You got that right. How do I know you're not here to finish me off once these creeps are out of the picture?"
"Well, I don't really care if you don't trust me, but why don't we get rid of these jerkwads."
"We have to help Venus and Mars. Those rotten sneaks did them in. Hey, how come you're flames were able to put damage to them?"
"Say what?"
"Look! It seems you're flames did plenty of damage to them."
"Yeah, I see! But why?"
Agunimon took a closer look and noticed that the Scrabmons's armor was starting to crack away. He then gazed upon the emeralds embedded in the middle of their foreheads.
"Yeah! That's it! Listen, aim for their foreheads! It wasn't my fire that did the damage. It was the fire itself that directed an aim on their foreheads!"
"No wonder they were gaining such a stronghold," said Sailor Jupiter.
"Okay, you go get you're friends and clear the way. These creeps are mine."
"Right."
With that said, Agunimon faced off against the weakened Scrabmon. The warrior of flame merely smirked as he readied his fists together.
"Now that I've found you're weak spots, you guys can kiss you're spiny asses goodbye…"
("With the Will" ends)
Now, the insect's source of power was discovered and things weren't looking well as far as the horde in Shibuya was concerned. On the other hand, the heroes in Shinjuku have yet to know the insect's weakness.

West Shinjuku.
Yami Yugi and his friends stood firm to witness the battle between the Scrabmon clan and the three bio-merged megas. Gallantmon, Sakuyamon and Mega Gargomon were ready to face off against Pharaohmon's elite for round two.
"There's something awfully peculiar about these bugs. What's the true source of their power? Hmm, could it be? Did it have anything to do with the emeralds on their foreheads? They glow every time those insects attack. I ought to tell them right away, but what if I'm wrong?"
"We're going to have to tell them, Yugi. There's no other alternative. I have a hunch that those emeralds are indeed the source to the Scrabmon's powers."
Unaware of the Scrabmon's weak point, the Tamers rush in hopes of defeating Pharaohmon's elite. Can Yami Yugi warn Takato and the others in time? With Takuya able to spirit evolve into Agunimon, will the other Spirit holders once again become the Legendary Warriors? And what about Lance? His whereabouts remain in Shinjuku and he seeks the Millennium Puzzle of Yugi. Sally forth, everyone! This fight is not over yet!

Kouji: Will I be able t gain my spirit?
Yugi: Meanwhile, Takato and the Tamers must put their lives at stake as their bio-merged forms take on the Scrabmon.

Yami Yugi: We'll find this Pharaohmon and stop him at his tracks. Do you hear me, coward?! Show yourself!
Lance: So, they were able to exploit my Scrabmon's weakness? No matter. I have another incarnate ready to demolish them.

SSJ4T: I know this chapter was a little late, but I've been pretty busy outside fanfiction life. Anyway, I hope you've been enjoying the start to the series. I plan on putting more chapters out during the Christmas break. Until then, check out my D-Frontier Prologue. It isn't much, but you'll get the point. Peace!
