Agunimon's Return to Battle! The Scrabmon's Weakness are Their Forehead?!
xxxxx
West Shinjuku
The battle area where our heroes have been dealing with Pharaohmon's elite soldiers: the Scrabmon. The Tamers had now just bio-merged with their partners to take a stand against the sneaky insects. Yami and his friends could only watch on with awe looks. Gallantmon steps forward as he points his lance to the Scrabmon clan.
"You guys are tougher than we gave you credit for, but it ends here!" Gallantmon exclaimed. "You better be glad no one is watching this, because we're handing you're butts on a silver platter!"
"Is that so?" the Scrabmon leader replied. "You're doing nothing more than bluffing. What just happened a few moments ago? You're digimon digivolved into their ultimate forms and yet were still beaten. What makes you think that you're mega forms will possess enough firepower to penetrate through our hide?"
"We won't know until we give it a try! Now let's cut this chitchat," Sakuyamon said.
"Yes. That's enough chitchat. Allow us to demonstrate why Lord Pharaohmon has named us his soldier elite. Attack my brothers!"
The insect clan swarmed out towards the three bio-merged megas. The megas charged out to fend off each of the Scrabmon. Gallantmon jumps up and goes for a lance slash, yet he was unable to catch a Scrabmon.
"Missed me!"
"These things are still too quick! I can't even lay a finger on them! Sakuyamon! Mega Gargomon! Concentrate and point out to every direction. These things should react to vibrations."
"You think you should have figured that out already?" Mega Gargomon exclaimed. "Well, Takato isn't the type to rush in on a given situation. Terriermon. Let's concentrate and listen for their movements. They should emit a slight vibration."
Mega Gargomon stood still as a statue as he felt slight vibrations from all sides. He quickly turns and sees a Scrabmon launching an attack on the mega. The titan throws out a fist, which caught the insect off guard.
"Bulls eye, baby! We nailed one, Henry!"
Another Scrabmon came out from another direction, but Mega Gargomon calmly sensed it out and delivers an elbow to its face. The Scrabmon falls flat to the floor with his face caved in from the elbow's impact.
"We're actually coming through quite well. All we need to do is search out for their weak spots," Mega Gargomon replied.
Sakuyamon leaps forward and lands on the bridge. A pair of Scrabmon shot out several electrical blasts. The mega jumps around from each blast. She takes her staff and twirls it above her head. She calls out a chant and summons forth a flower barrier. The insects sped off into different directions and showered Sakuyamon with numerous leaf cutters. The mega was safe for the time being.
"Damn, I'm not sure if this barrier can maintain it's present state much longer! Gallantmon! Mega Gargomon! How are you holding up?!"
"Well, things are looking a little better," Mega Gargomon said. "At least for now, Henry. I don't want to rain on their parade just yet. Let's give these wackos a little mass destruction!"
The Scrabmon recovered as Mega Gargomon prepared to launch out his most devastating attack. His chest hatchet opens up and the Scrabmon could only gulp to themselves. They knew what was coming up and it sure wasn't going to be pretty.
"Mega Barrage!!"
Just as the missiles launched themselves at the insects, they quickly made launched themselves onto the missiles and curved them upwards. Mega Gargomon could only look on in shock as the Scrabmon fired away their electric stun gun attack to ignite the missiles. Now there was an array of explosions that shocked the heavens above. People had now just realized this and started panicking. To them, it was a terrorist attack. Yet, they had no idea that a shadow barrier was concealing the perpetrators.
"I can't believe this! They've managed to intercept out missiles!" Mega Gargomon exclaimed. "That's it, no more Mr. Nice Dog Bunny!"
Gallantmon points his lance out towards the other Scrabmon pair and fires out a wave of massive energy.
"Lighting Joust!!"
Unfortunately, the Scrabmon dodged the attack just moments before getting caught in it. The insects sighed a breathe of relief. This took even Gallantmon back by utter shock.
"They dodged it! How are these guys able to predict our attacks?! You guys! We're going to have to give them the heavy artillery! You know what this means Guilmon," Gallantmon said. "Yep, it's not going to be pretty."
Yami watched the entire battle unfold while his friends were awed in amazement. They had never seen a digimon battle up close and this was a privilege to become a witness for one.
"Yug! You've been giving us the silent treatment the whole time. So what do you think? Do those kids even have a chance?" Joey said.
"Yugi? What is it?" Tea asked.
"Those emeralds on the insect's foreheads are starting to puzzle me. They seem to emit a slight aura after every attack they unleash. Wait a second! What if that's their power source? Yami! I have an idea, but you're going to have to trust me."
"Yugi? Are you certain how to defeat this creatures?"
"Yes and we'll need the magnet warriors since Dark Magician was already used. Besides, the magnet warriors will even out the odds with these bugs."
"A wise choice, Yugi."
"Yugi! So, what's the deal?" Tristan said.
"I've got a strategy on their weakness. You notice every time they launch out an attack? Take a closer look."
The teens turned towards the battle and watched the insects unleash another pair of attacks on the bio-merged megas. They peered further and noticed the slight auras emitting from the insects' emeralds.
"Yeah! I see it! Their emeralds glow after every attack," Joey said. "But what's the big deal?"
"I believe that it's their source of power. If we take out those emeralds, then their power sources will render them useless. That is why I'll summon forth my magnet warriors."
"Not a bad choice, Yugi! You let them have it!" Tea exclaimed.
Yami stood firm as he took out five cards from this deck. Three of which were the magnet warrior trio. He pulls the cards out and channels out his magical powers within the Millennium Puzzle.
"Millennium Puzzle! I summon forth you're power to bring forth the monsters that I bestow! Bring forth all three of my magnet warriors!"
With that said, the Millennium Puzzle reacted to the pharaoh's plea and grants his wish. Now levitating before him, three figures stood forth and were bathed in a golden aura. The three magnet warriors came forth before Yami. A silver magnet-based warrior with a sword and shield stepped forth.
"Alpha the Magnet Warrior!"
A second magnet based warrior with red steel stepped forward alongside Alpha.
"Gamma the Magnet Warrior!"
The third and last magnet warrior came forth with metallic blue and green steel armor.
"Beta the Magnet Warrior!"
"Whoa! Talk about a reunion!" Joey remarked. "You've got this set and done, Yug!"
"We're not done yet. Alpha! Assist the knight known as Gallantmon! Gamma lend the titan known as Mega Gargomon! Beta, assist the female named Sakuyamon!" Yami ordered his magnet warriors.
With that said, the three magnet warriors flew out after given orders by Yami. The Scrabmon were busying taking apart the Tamers. Gallantmon was thrown backwards from a combined electric blast assault. Sakuyamon's barrier was broken and she was eventually caught in a shower of leaf cutters. Mega Gargomon fell after a pair struck the titan's legs with left cutters.
"Jeez! These suckers did take steroids! Even our mega forms aren't enough! If only I can become Crimson Mode again…"
"That will not be necessary!" Yami calls out. "Magnet warriors! Attack the Scrabmon!"
Alpha flew towards a Scrabmon and stabs his sword through the insect's exposed emerald. The other Scrabmon looked on with utter horror as their comrade screeched in agony.
"So, what's it? You just figured out their weak spot!" Gallantmon calls out. "Thanks Mr. Magnet man."
"Well done, Alpha! Gamma! Beta! Follow his lead!"
The other two magnet warriors surprised two more of the Scrabmon. The insects somehow were unable to trace any life energy from the magnet warriors and were easily caught off guard. Beta punches a fist through a Scrabmon and rips out the emerald. Gamma swoops down, raises his fists back and catches the second Scrabmon with a head butt. The Scrabmon's head rocks back as the magnet warrior punches through its emerald.
"Man after all that trouble we've been through and they do it in one blow!" Mega Gargomon exclaimed. "Talk about a shame. We've been ripped!"
"This just makes our job a lot easier. Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Renamon?" Sakuyamon said. "You know me too well, Rika. I think you know the answer."
The three bio-merged megas regained their senses and mobility. The Scrabmon were angered by their brethren's defeat and charged in for vengeance. Unfortunately, they were now vulnerable due to Yami exploiting their weaknesses.
"Hey! Say cheese!" Mega Gargomon calls out.
The titan punches forward and punches a Scrabmon across its forehead. Its emerald was ultimately shattered and the insect's power was reduced to zero percent.
"Ha! Made ya look!" Terriermon remarked.
Sakuyamon jumps towards the air and turns to see two Scrabmon flying out from different directions. The female ducks under and allows the insects to smash into one another. Sakuyamon takes advantage to their mistake and summons forth a pair of fox-like spirit waves.
"Spirit Strike!!"
The fox spirits were then sent forth and they started to engulf the insects. Sakuyamon took advantage of the paralyzed digimon and smashes her staff through one's emerald. Then she turns and delivers a fist through the other.
"Ta-Ta, boys."
The exalted knight held his shield out and gathers an array of energy through the hazard-sign insignia. Gallantmon then calls out for his ultimate attack.
"Shield of the Just!!"
The knight unleashes a massive energy blast that managed to distract the insects momentarily. As soon as the swarm flew away, Gallantmon jumps up and penetrates his lance through all three insects' heads, not to mention their emeralds.
"Game over."
The bio-merged digimon and the magnet warriors each landed in a victory pose. Within seconds, each Scrabmon were reduced to dust. The Scrabmon leader looks on with utter disappointment. He was not upset of the fact that his soldiers had failed him, but the fact they their weaknesses were exposed. Yami looks up and points out to the last remaining insect warrior.
"So, what's it going to be? Why don't you bring you're lord and have him face us now?!"
"Fool! My master will come when the time is right. He's gathering his strength and you will regret those words. How dare you refer to him as 'lord'! You don't deserve to be on the same level as our master. You may have won this day, but next time you won't be so lucky! Mark my words, humans! This is just the beginning!"
As soon as he said that, the Scrabmon quickly teleported and vanished. Yami calls forth his magnet warriors and returns them back into their original card forms. The bio-merged megas de-digivolved back to their rookie forms. Takato brushes himself off and comes face to face with Yami. The mere of presence of the pharaoh has the boy wondering whether he should trust him.
"This guys was able to summon monsters through cards alone? Does he have some sort of magical powers and what's the deal with that necklace? Could it be the source? Maybe I'm just seeing things."
"That was some battle," Yami said. "I didn't figure there were others battling the forces of darkness."
"I was thinking the same thing too… Say, how were you able to summon those monsters? I don't understand."
"It's a long story, kid. But answer this. Are you really the kids with the digimon that fought that pig?" Joey asked.
"You mean Vikaralymon? Yeah, that would be us," said Henry. "What else do you like to know?"
Just then, Takato took a closer look to Yami and realized whom he was just speaking with. He was speaking with the only kid to defeat Seto Kaiba fairly in Duel Monsters, the Duelist Kingdom champion and the Battle City champion. He was looking into the eyes of a multi-time Duel Monsters champion.
"Wow! You're really him! You're Yugi Muto! I've heard so much about you!" Takato exclaimed.
Everyone looked on with gaping mouths and sweat drops coming down their foreheads. Takato grabs Yami's hand and shook it.
"This is so awesome! Two heroes meet face to face. Hi, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Takato Matsuda and this is my partner, Guilmon. Guilmon, say hi."
The red dinosaur replied with a wave. "Hi there. I'm Guilmon. Hey, Takato. Can we eat now?"
"In a minute, Guilmon. I'm meeting a celebrity here."
"Uh, goggle head. You still haven't changed," Rika thought with a hand over her face.
"At least, he's making a new friend," Terriermon said. "Oh and I'm Terriermon, in case you're wondering. I'm the wise crack of the group."
"Whoa! Another one?" Tristan said.
"Wise crack, huh? Well, you're speaking with one," Joey replied. "I'm often called the joker of the group."
"Ok, Joker boy! Put it there!" Terriermon replied with a hand extended.
"Put it there!"
"Hey, guys. While you were just introducing yourselves, the barrier just vanished," Tea said.
The group looked around and saw themselves surrounded by a crowd of people. Kids were beginning to cry out 'autograph' and 'digimon'.
"Ack! We better get out of here!" Henry exclaimed.
With that said, the group quickly fled out before anyone within the crowd recognizes them. The first battle has been won by the combined efforts of Yugi and the Tamers. But the next time certainly wasn't going to be a walk in the park.

Shibuya Park
Agunimon cries out and prepares to finish off the weakened the Scrabmon. The warrior's flames disintegrated their emeralds and that rendered their powers useless.
"It's time we end this! Pyro Tornado!!"
Agunimon spins himself into a whirling inferno blaze and began to engulf the Scrabmon from within these flames. Agunimon reverts back to his normal form and watched the insects disintegrate into ashes. Sailor Jupiter looks on while reviving her fallen comrades.
"There's more coming behind you!" the warrior of flame calls out.
Suddenly, Sailor Jupiter reacted as another swarm came flying out from the trees above. Jupiter could only watch as the insects prepared to attack her. That is until a fire wave and a love beam blasted the swarm away. Sailor Jupiter turned and sighed in relief as her comrades rose to their feet.
"Mars! Venus! Thank god!"
"You think we'd let them beat us that easily?" Venus asked.
"Not a chance. That guys allowed us time to recover," Mars said. "Time to fight fire with fire!"
"You've got it," Agunimon said.
The Scrabmon clan recovered but not enough to save them from the up and coming storm heading their way. Agunimon and the Senshi were prepared to deliver the final blow.
"Remember! Aim for their foreheads and blast their emeralds! This calls for some beast power! Execute!"
With that said, Agunimon's body morphs into a dino-sized behemoth with a red body lined with thing, yellow stripes. His back has a pair of bird-like winds and two blades formed at his elbows. His face was equipped with a metallic mask with a horn and his mouth was sort of beak-like in appearance. His eyes were blue as the heavens, yet had an animalistic appearance.
"Vritramon!"
The Sailor Senshi looked on with gaping mouths and widened eyes. The warrior had now transformed into a massive beast.
"Listen! There's no time for sightseeing! We must attack now!" Vritramon growls. "Do it!"
"Right! Let's go, girls!" Sailor Mars calls out. "This calls for a little backup. Venus! Jupiter! Spread out! I've got a plan!"
"I wonder what she- Oh I get it!" Venus thought.
"Clear the way!" Jupiter calls out.
The Scrabmon rushed forth to ambush Sailor Mars, but they stopped as Mars calling forth her anti-evil seals.
"Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, zen! Akuryou taisan!"
As soon as she said that, Sailor Mars unleashes an array of anti-evil seals and lays each one on the Scrabmon. The insects were left stiff as doorknobs.
"Damn! It's an anti-evil seal! We weren't expecting anyone with such an ancient enchantment!" a Scrabmon calls out.
"Well, I'm so full of surprises. Let them have it, guys!"
"It's about time!" Vritramon roars. "Wildfire-"
The beast digimon summons a wave of flames from his wings and unleashes it upon the Scrabmon.
"Tsunami!!"
Sailor Jupiter summons forth a wave of lef-like cutters and commands them to launch towards the Scrabmon.
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!!"
Sailor Venus points out towards the paralyzed enemies and unleashed a powerful beam.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!!"
The attacks all attacked the Scrabmon from all corners and their emeralds were immediately cracked under the combined attacks. Sailor Mars goes and finished it off by forming a fiery blast.
"Mars Fire Sniper!!"
The Sailor Senshi of Mars finishes the insects off and watches as each were vaporized due to the lack of the power sources. The last of the Scrabmon were left a pile of ashes. However, the clan's leader had watched the events unfold from a tree. He concealed himself in order to keep himself from getting caught in the process.
"Curses! I didn't realize there were a group of warriors who knew the ancient anti-evil enchantment! That girl will be trouble for my brethren. I should report this to Lord Pharaohmon. He must be aware of the enemies we're dealing with."
As soon as the insect said that, he relocates himself into a safer location. Luckily for him, neither one of the heroes were able to detect him.
"Whew, that was one hell of a work out," Sailor Jupiter said.
"Say, how did you transform into a massive beast?" Sailor Venus asked.
"If I told you, I would have to kill ya," Vritramon said. "No honestly, I evolved using beast spirit evolution. However, I'm able to return to my normal form. Watch this. Execute!"
With that said, Vritramon quickly reverts back into his human evolved form, Agunimon. The Sailors were taken back by this sudden transformation. It seemed very advanced compared to their sailor powers.
"I see we have another pyromaniac to compete with Mars," Agunimon said.
"Ha. I'd definitely go in a round or two with you," she said.
"Our job here is done," the warrior replied. "I must best be heading off…"
"Wait! Before you go, I'd like to say that you saved our necks back there. Thank you," Venus said.
"You helped us exploit their weaknesses," Jupiter said. "We couldn't have done it without you."
Agunimon replies with by turning his head, grinning and giving the trio a thumbs up.
"So, tell us. Who is our enemy?" asked Agunimon.
"We don't know but we were told that these creeps were working for some sort of supernatural monster named Pharaohmon," said Mars. "I have a feeling this is only the tip of the ice berg."
"Or the calling of an even bigger storm," Agunimon said. "I see. I'll going to recruit my friends and fill them in on everything."
"Wait, before you go. We'd like to know. Are you our enemy or ally? We just can't seem to trust you. No offense but it's our way of getting to know you better," Jupiter calls out.
Agunimon turns and shrugs his shoulders.
"Only you will decide that eventually. Until then, we have a city to look after. Possibly even our planet."
The warrior of flame rushes out through the forest in order to retrieve both Kouji and Tomoki out from the park. The Sailors were left speechless and they had two options. It was to oppose Agunimon or join forces with him to stop Pharaohmon.
"We will meet again, Agunimon. You can count on it…" Mars thought.
"Crap! We left our books back at the ice cream pallor!" Venus screeched.
"Oh! You're right! This is what we get for being so careless!" Mars exclaimed.
"Remind me to never bring my books again," muttered Jupiter.
The Sailors fled out into the brush and reverted back to their civilian clothes. They started racing out through the park's exit/entrance and towards the ice cream pallor. What a day it has been for them. They've just started college, meet a new group of friends and enemies, and have even become careless individuals. This was certainly something Rei did not want herself to become associated with or else she'll end up like Usagi.

Meanwhile, Agunimon de-transforms back into Takuya. He sets Kouji and Tomoki down as he stopped to catch his breathe.
"You were so awesome out there, Takuya!" Tomoki said.
"Remind me to never let you pick me up like that again!" muttered Kouji.
"Sorry, but I had to get our asses out of there. We can't let those Sailors find out about our identities."
"But we already saw theirs," Tomoki pointed out.
"It doesn't matter. We have to eventually convince them that we are their ally, but I'm leaving it a mystery until each of us regains our spirits."
"I was going to ask ya. How did you get you're spirit back?" Kouji asked.
Takuya took a look down at his D-Scanner and held it tightly in his grasp. He nodded his head and gazed at the two spirits: one for his human and the other for his beast.
"I don't know. We'll eventually find out sooner of later," said Takuya. "My theory is that Ophanimon sensed out an evil presence in our world and allowed me to regain my spirit."
"But why haven't I gotten my spirit back? I doesn't make sense," Kouji growled.
"Look, don't get so bummed out. It just happened. I had no power over it. I must have gotten my spirit for a reason."
"Maybe I'll get my eventually," Tomoki said. "Look out Shibuya, the Warrior of Ice is hitting a corner near you!"
"So, what now? You have you're spirit back. I think the others have every right to know about this," said Kouji. "Takuya. You still have Izumi's number?"
"Course I do."
"Tomoki, do you still have Junpei's?"
"Uh huh."
"Cool. Here's what I propose. Tomorrow morning we meet back here at the park and we will fill them on everything that's taken back."
"Good idea," Takuya said. "Let's see if I have anything to do tomorrow. Nope, I'm free!"
"Me, too!" Tomoki replied. "It's only Sunday tomorrow anyway."
"All right. I'll see you there then," Kouji said. "It's getting dark."
"Crap! I forgot to set the time record for Naruto!" Takuya exclaimed.
"Whoa! Hey, you're right! We better get going, Takuya!" Tomoki said.
As soon as the three boys departed from the park, the Scrabmon returned to keep an eye out on the three boys. A sinister chuckle was heard as he quickly phases out from sight.

West Shinjuku
After getting away from the rather large crowds, Yami, his friends and the Tamers settled it over at Guilmon's former cage den.
"Whew. They shouldn't find us here," Henry said.
"Doesn't this just bring back memories, Guilmon?"
"Yeah, it does, Takato! It's my old home. Ah, look it's the hole I was digging!"
"Um, why is there a hole in the ground?" Joey asked.
"Huh? You mean somebody was just here?" Rika pondered.
Takato and Yami took a glaze upon the massive hole. It looked as though the earthed mound was recently dug up. But by whom? Suddenly, Takato remembered that the portal to the Digital World was still active.
"No! That's just it! Why didn't I realize this before!"
"What is it?" Yami asked.
"Those Scrabmon must have find their way through the Digital World! Which means-"
"Pharaohmon came from the Digital World and found his way here through Guilmon's den. No wonder we haven't found any Digital Fields," Henry replied. "It makes sense. Rika, don't you think so?"
"Yep. But the question is, why hasn't that creep shown himself yet?"
"Maybe he's willing to play a little hide and seek," Terriermon said.
"I wouldn't be joking at a time like this," Tristan said. "If you kids say this guy is from another world, then he must be a digimon like Guilmon."
"Good observation there, sherlock," Tea muttered.
Takato touched the dirt mound and looked down under to find the digital port still active.
"Listen up, Guilmon. I want you to cover this hole up. We can't have anyone crossing over to the Digital World."
"Okay!"
"Now, we have to find out a little more on this creep's whereabouts. So far, we're left with zero evidence of his existence. My theory is that he's under disguise to conceal himself from us."
"The question is where and when will his next swarm attack next. He's playing games with us," Renamon said.
"Well, I'm not about to play these sick games," Yami said. "It seems he's after the Millennium Puzzle. I have to do whatever it takes to prevent him from unlocking its limitless power."
"Don't worry," Takato said. "You have us to help you. You bailed us out of that jam back there. We owe it to you, Yugi."
Yami nods his head and shakes Takato's hand. The group's leaders have finally made the pact of trust and friendship.
"Thank you, Takato. You have a heart of gold."
Just then, Guilmon lays the final touches to the buried mound. The digimon wiped his forehead and a loud growl was heard echoing throughout the den. Everyone jumped away to face off whatever new threat was approaching them. Guilmon slightly giggled.
"Heh. That was my stomach. Sorry!"
Everyone, excluding Guilmon, fell backwards with a sigh of disbelief. The digimon was left holding his upset stomach.
"Must have something to eat."
"Ok! As soon as we get home, we'll fix you some peanut butter-jelly sandwiches with bananas."
"Yipee!"
Yami looks out towards the starry heavens and held his Millennium Puzzle in a tight grasp.
"You'll never have the Millennium Puzzle, Pharaohmon! You can sure count that! We're united to bring you down!"
Unknown to Yugi and his friends, the Scrbamon clan leader from earlier ago was keeping an eye on the united group. He was now onto their plan and was prepared to inform Pharaohmon of this sudden alliance.
"So, they've formed an alliance? According to another brethren, two other groups are a little on the mistrust worthy side. I better report this to Lord Pharaohmon."
As soon as he said that, the Scrabmon quickly teleported to inform his leader of this sudden turn of events. Today certainly wasn't a successful day for Pharaohmon, but there would be another moment in the sun.

Elsewhere in Shinjuku
As soon as his parents were sound asleep, Lance decided to take a walk out of his hotel room. The teen started to survey the area to make sure no one was around to intervene. He sensed the declining powers of his Scrabmon and was slightly angered by their slaughter.
"Curses. My Scrabmon failed me, but who was still enough to bring down my elite? This has proves to be quite interesting. I must seek these new opposition and visualize what I'm up against."
"Sire! It is I! My clan was defeated at the Shinjuku Bridge."
"I see. Did you manage to get their descriptions?"
"Aren't you angered over our losses, my lord?"
"I had a feeling this would happen. No, you can redeem yourself. So, who are our new foes?"
"Oh, yes. There's a group of children with digimon partners. They somehow managed to merge with their digimon and became powerful mega-level titans. The others were a group of teenagers with a boy containing an ancient artifact known as the Millennium Puzzle. With it, he used it to bring forth monsters to life. They were card monsters to be exact."
"Card monsters? According to this boy's knowledge, those were duel monster cards and those other children were the ones who fought the chaos mass a year ago. It's a good thing I can tap into this boy's memories. I see. So, those are our opposition?"
"That's not all, sire. Another colleague of mine reports that a group of females transformed into warriors possessing magical powers. One of which was able to use an anti-evil seal on his clan. I never knew such a weapon existed at this day of age."
"I see. I'm interested to see this for myself. No matter. I wield a power to shall render that wasteful seal useless."
"But that's not all. I've regretted to report that a boy was seen with these women. According to him, the boy transformed himself into a digimon warrior of sorts."
"Transform into a digimon? I see the spirits of the legendary warriors isn't a myth after all."
"Wait, you know about these legendary warriors? They were supposed to be a myth passed down by many generations. They aren't even from our world."
"Yes, but I'm convinced that realize the number of watchers throughout the Digital Universe. You see I'm a believer in these myths. I'm determined to know if my power can bring down even the legendary warriors. Once I regain my full strength, I shall test their power. If I'm fortunate enough to defeat them, then I shall claim my rightful place as the superior being of the Digital plan of existence. I yearn to slay every form of competition. I shall have no equal and these other warriors of justice will realize my power first hand."
"Do you have any plans for us at the moment. We're short on men just to let you know."
A sinister grin forms on the possessed boy's face as an orb of dark, mystical energy was rotating in his hand.
"No. Not at the moment, my servant. Have you forgotten that I'm capable of creating incarnations to do my bidding?"
"Of course not, my lord. How could I ever doubt you're strength?"
"See it that you don't. You and you're clansmen were fortunate to give these fools a bit of competition. My incarnations will make the Sovereign's Deva clan look like insignificant worms. Behold…"
As soon as Lance said that, his palm widens and the orb starts to take the form of a digimon. It stood as a tall entity with a bipedal appearance. However, it was remotely looked like that of a baboon. The monster stretched as armor formed over his chest, shoulders, knees and shins. A sword sheath appears at the monster's side. His eyes were filled with bitter rage and pure crimson evil.
"Yes, my first incarnation… Behold, Babimon."

"He was one of my most loyal servants of my time. His desire of slaying established him as one of the most bloodthirsty monsters during our great heyday."
"How shall I serve thee, my lord?" the baboon digimon asked in a low, demonic manner.
"You are to seek a shelter and begin you're hunt for the ones who destroyed my Scrabmon. Don't hesitate to kill anyone of them. You may even bring their heads to me."
"Yes, my lord. I shall not fail you. Yes, I can smell their stench."
"Wait until tomorrow. Contain you're thirst for blood."
"I'm sorry, my lord. I don't know what came over me."
"It's only natural. You're killer instinct consumes you."
"Hey, what is going on out there?!" a man's voice calls out.
Lance turns and quickly teleported with Babimon. A man's head was seen poking out from his hotel door. He realized that there wasn't a single person down the hall.
"I must be seeing things again. I've got to cut down on that booze."
The pair was relocated on top of the hotel's roof. Lance looks out towards the starry heavens and smiled. His eyes now had a pure, golden aura behind them.
"Babimon. I sense them. They've relocated themselves to their homes. Do not kill them until tomorrow. However…"
Lance pokes his head down from the hotel roof and looks down to find a couple making out behind a light post. Suddenly, a sick twisted idea came across the possessed boy's mind. He turns his attention to the bloodthirsty baboon.
"There's a helpless batch of insignificant fools down below this complex. You have my permission to slaughter them to you're hearts content. That should ease you're crave for human blood."
"Thank you, my lord."
"Enjoy yourself."
With that said, Lance disappeared out from the spot and left Babimon to lick his lips. The thought of killing humans was crossing his sick, demented mind.
"Human blood… How satisfying…"
The young man pressed himself down on the girl. They had just left from a strip club and their sheer pleasure for each other had arisen.
"Oh, yes. I can't wait until we get to bed, Sheri," the man said.
"Oh, Hiryoko."
Just as the two were getting closer to locking a French kiss, Babimon climbs down the walls behind them. Unknown to them, the monster unsheathed his sword.
"Human blood… I can smell you now… I shall devour you!"
As soon as he pulled his sword out, the couple turned and saw a pair of crimson eyes with a demonic aura behind it. Babimon rushes out from the shadows and raises his blade. The couple screamed as shadow images of the slaying was taking place. Their screams faded as the monster cut them down to size.
The monster raised his head and licks the blood from his hands. That sinister grin forms despite the brutal attack he has committed.
"How I so enjoy hearing another victim scream for their lives… If these so-called warriors fall like these humans, I shall be grateful… Rest easy, weaklings. You're deaths are at hand…"
With that said, Babimon drags the two bodies into the alleyway to begin his feast for the evening. He would then wait until dawn to begin his mission.
Lance watched the events unfold through his mind and chuckles under his breath.
"Yes, feast my pet. For tomorrow, you're task shall be complete and you will rid me of these nuisances. It's only a matter of time…"

Elsewhere, the Digimon Queen herself is seen sleeping in her bed with the lights on. She couldn't sleep after everything said about Pharaohmon. Renamon was standing guard just in case another one of the Scrabmon dared to attempt an attack. The girl forced herself out of bed and walks over to her partner's side.
"Can't you sleep, Rika?"
"No. I can't. This Pharaohmon has me kind of edgy."
"That's unlike you, Rika. As long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you."
"That's the thing. Even at you're ultimate level, you were unable to beat those bugs."
"Fortunately we're aware of their weakness…"
"What if Pharaohmon decides to send another harm without that sort of weakness? This creep is simply toying with us. I hate to say this, but we're dealing with pure evil. It's a first, since every enemy we've fought was only fighting for their own cause. Like you said, the Devas were completely misguiding us because Zhuqiaomon was unaware of our capabilities. Ice Devimon only wanted me as his partner, though I'm never going to forgive him for kidnapping me. The D-Reaper was merely a misguided program. This Pharaohmon is pure evil…"
"He yearns for complete power and control in the digital order. Rika, if he gathers his full strength, I'm afraid even our mega forms won't be able to defeat him."
"Don't forget, Renamon. We have new allies. Though I wonder about that Yugi boy. Was is the secret behind his puzzle?"
"I sense a great ancient power behind it."
"You think we can trust him."
"Of course. His enemy is also our enemy. Don't forget that. We'll get to the bottom of this in the morning. I'd suggest you to get some rest. You'll need it."
"Yeah. Oh and one more thing…"
"Yes?"
"Thanks your watching me."
With that said, Rika returns to her slumber and rests easy for another rough day tomorrow. Renamon turns her attention out into the starry skies.
"You're welcome, Rika…"

Standing on top of a water tower is a short figure with a black cloak wrapped around his body. His hair was spiked up in a form of a paintbrush with slight points at the ends. A white bandana is wrapped around his forehead. The man's eyes are large with a distinct red color to them. The figure spoke in a rather low, sly voice.
"So, it begins…"
As soon as he said that, the mysterious man quickly vanishes within a blink of an eye. There was identification of this person, yet he was keeping a close watch over Babimon's every move.

Shibuya Park
The morning broke out and pushed away the nightly skies to make room for another bright weekend. Usually, Sunday was the time of the week where kids gathered at the park to play before they had to go hit the books for the reminder of the week.
Seen sitting across a bench was none other than Takuya Kanbara. He looks at his watch and growls.
"Just where the heck are those guys? They're twenty minutes late! I shouldn't have gotten up this early."
Suddenly, Takuya heard cries of his name. The boy stood and waves over to a group of pre-teens his age. One was a big-boned boy with a blue jumpsuit with yellow streaks at different parts of the suit, a pair of blue shoes, light brown hair and a dorky smile.
"Junpei!"
The other was a rather delicate girl with a lavender hat, a blue-white striped shirt with a lavender vest to watch her hat, a lavender skirt and a pair of white tennis shoes. Her hair was blonde as a sunflower.
"Izumi! It's great to see you guys again!"
"Likewise, so where's Tomoki, Kouji and Kouichi?"
"Hey, guys! Over here!" a boy calls out.
The trio turned to find the same boy with the large orange hat. Tomoki joins up with the group and they huddled into a group reunion. It had been nearly six months since the last time they've been united. Ever since they defeated Lucemon and restored peace to the Digital World, they each moved on with their lives with some to little contact, though Takuya and Tomoki have been hanging out.
"So, we're only down to two people? I wonder what's keeping Kouichi and Kouji?" Izumi pondered.
"I wouldn't worry. They live on the other side of town," said Tomoki. "Just give them some time."
"I'm glad I had my breakfast before I got here, otherwise I would have brought my chocolate bars," Junpei said.
"I hope they haven't run into trouble with those Scrabmon again," Takuya thought.
"Takuya? What do you propose we do?" Izumi asked.
"We'll wait for another ten minutes. If they don't show up, we'll split up to find them."
"Ok."
"This saves me enough time to take a little nap," Junpei said.
"You sure you want to do that on the bench?" Tomoki asked.
"Sure. There's nothing better than sleeping on the bench. Ah, so relax… Crap… My back just went out again…"
Elsewhere, Kouji and Kouichi were seen running down the streets. They knew they were late for the group meeting over at the local park, but they couldn't help but to rush through the busy Sunday crowds. Kouichi is Kouji's older brother. He's one year older than Kouji and his attire contains a red shirt with a green long-sleeve over it. He also wears blue jeans and a pair of blue-white tennis shoes. His hair is about the same color as Kouji's and he wears a cap over it.
The brothers pushed themselves through until they came across a crowded site. It seemed there was a murder site since they were white outlines of where the corpses once laid.
"Kouji. Look at this!"
Kouji turned his head and looked over at the ground with the chalk markings. There had been a report over several animalistic attacks on couples last night. Kouji was quickly becoming more suspicious and knew this had to be the work of Pharaohmon.
"Kouji? Is this what you've been telling me about? Is this the work of that Pharaohmon?"
"Yes, it has to be! It just has to!"
Looking on from afar and in complete disguise, Babimon glares over at Kouji and Kouichi. Scrabmon informed him about a pre-teen boy seen with Takuya the other side. The baboon sets his sights on Kouji.
"So, it's that boy the Scrabmon has told me about. I sense that he was unable to gain a spirit. That makes my job easier. Though, I'm disappointed. I wanted a chance to battle a legendary warrior. It's time I got rid of this useless disguise."
The boys fled from the murder scene and found their way through an abandoned basketball court. Suddenly, the winds brushed against the brothers. Kouji felt an uneasy presence behind this strong wind force.
"Kouji? What is it?"
"We're not alone."
"You're right, boy. You're not. I can smell fear coming from you, boy!" the same demonic voice hisses.
"Show yourself!"
"With pleasure…"
The cloaked figure came walking out from an opposite alleyway. The figure wore a hood over his head and reveals his crimson, demonic glare.
"Kouji! We have to get Takuya! He's the only one who can spirit evolve!"
"But why can't I spirit evolve? I should be able to," Kouji said. "C'mon! This just isn't right!"
The cloaked figure unveils himself as the very beast that slaughtered the couples around Shinjuku and Shibuya. Babimon faces off against the brothers of light and darkness. A sinister grin forms on the monster's face.
"I am Babimon. I serve only thee lord and master, Pharaohmon. By his orders and my sheer pleasure, I shall take you're heads! Then, I shall find this legendary warrior of flame and slay him!"
"Damn! We must have been spied upon!" Kouji growls. "Kouichi! Go and get the others. I'll take care of this."
"No way! Have you lost it?! He'll rip you to pieces. I'm staying to fight with you!"
"We can't even spirit evolve. Kind of sucks, don't you think?"
"Just make it easier for yourselves, you'll make my job a lot easier if you just stand there and allow me to take you're heads as a trophy to honor my lord…"
"If only I could spirit evolve… Then I could stand a better chance…"
"Kouji! Let's get out of here! He's going to kill us if we stay here…"
"No, Kouichi. I thought you said you were willing to stand by my side. We're brothers and we'll fight together to the very end."
"Kouichi…"
"I owe it to you and mother… It's my turn to return my debt!"
With that said, Kouji's cell phone started to emit a bright aura of light. The boy takes out his cell phone and watches it transform back into a device he was very familiar with. It was his D-Scanner. Kouji could only look on with a mix of shock and relief.
"Kouji! You're D-Scanner!"
"It's back home where it belongs. But how did I receive it? I remember Takuya saying that Ophanimon could have sensed the dangers in our world and decided this was a last course of action. Ophanimon. Great Angels of the Digital World. Thank you. I'll gladly accept my spirit back and help my friends defend our world from the darkness. Light shall triumph."
(Spirit Evolution theme "With the Will" plays)
With that said, Kouji 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 Kouji is a body equipped with light blue armor with sort of white bodysuit underneath. His left arm became equipped with a small arm cannon and his face became wolf-like in appearance with a slight human distinction. The wolf warrior comes down with a pair of laser sabers and sheathes them behind his back. He cries out while shooting out a laser from his arm cannon.
"Wolfmon!!"
Babimon stood his ground as he came face to face with the legendary warrior of light. Wolfmon walks up towards the baboon digimon and gets into a fighting pose.
"Prepare to be purified by the light!"
("With the Will" ends)
Incredible! Kouji has gained his spirit and Wolfmon has returned! Can he fend off Babimon before the monster continues his relentless killing spree? Will the Tamers and Yugi's crew react to these events? Will the Sailor Soldiers arrive in time to even lend Wolfmon a hand?

I hope each of you found that Yu Yu Hakusho cameo. Don't worry. They'll be making their official battle appearances within the next few chapters. For now, I plan to put focus on these battles. As far as the duel tournament I've been planning, don't expect that to come until in the middle of the series. Anyway, I'm sorry I had to end it there at a… Ta-dum: Cliffhanger. Ha, I'm so evil. Yet, I really hate to do it. The next chapter will be up sooner than you think. Until then, peace out!
