Chapter 30
He soon opens his mouth and lets energy pool between his jaws. Then after two minutes of letting it collects, he uses Forgotten Chaos on the whole army. He notes the shield, but it'll not stand up to his attack, for the longer the attack it active the more powerful it becomes. It's an overwhelming attack and it's usually the only one he needs.
After a good five minutes, he closes his mouth and then head towards the base. With all of the Digimon deleted, he just knows that every last one of them was gone; it leaves the base open for attack. They find the base hovering over a peak of a mountain. He again uses Forgotten Chaos and disrupts the data of the mountain below the base.
"Sorry." He says after he destroys the base and disrupts the data. "Just take us to Gennai's, please." TK asks. He complies with this.

The memories end there for he is now hearing this ringing. He wakes and scans his surroundings. He's in his room, on his bed and Jager must have moved him here for he remembering falling asleep in the floor.
It's the doorbell he's hearing and he soon is out of his room. He finds TK already answering the door. It's Izzy and it looks like he's in panic mode. "Is Jager here? We need to talk about the integrating of the warps into the frame work." Izzy says. "I think he when for take out." TK answers. He nods as he walks more into the kitchen area to sit down.
They watch as Izzy begins to pace. He watches this with a detached interest. He's still a bit sleepy and it seems that Jager cleaned up the mess real good too. With Halloween in sixteen days away, Mimi needs these items to add them to the waiting costumes.
Just when they all thought that Izzy would drop from exhaustion, there's a knock at the door. He gets up and answers the door before Izzy could. He knows that Izzy would then start bombarding his partner with questions before Jager has a chance to come into the apartment.
He opens the door and finds his partner standing there, holding boxes of food and has two bags of take out resting on the ground too. He moves to let Jager through and then picks them up. He closes the door and sets the stuff on the table.
Soon as Jager enters Izzy began telling Jager all his worries about the project that they are working on. After letting Izzy rant and rave, Jager then says simply, "Fanglongmon will correct any errors we make. We just need to give him something to work with, so just breath Izzy and have supper with us." Izzy blinks and then Izzy's stomach rumbles in agreement with that idea.
They soon unpack the food and he thinks back to the results of Gennai's scans. They turned up negative on finding anything. He rested much easier after that, confident that his partner's free from that spell when Lilithmon was deleted. He never told Jager about that spell, he didn't want to worry his partner about nothing.
Soon they all grab plates and other items and help themselves to the food. After he eats his fill, he tells the others that he wants to visit the Digital World for a bit. Both TK and Jager knew what he's going to do and TK asks him to take Patamon with him. He agrees and after picking up the box with the robotic parts in it, Jager opens a gate for Patamon and him.

Sora puts the finishing touches on her angel costume. She smiles as she picks it up and holds it in front of her. The wings gleam in the light and she turns to Sora and says, "Thank you Sora. I was worried that it was ruined when Tai tried to wash the spot out. It looks better then before." Sora smiles and says, "Your very welcome Kari. I think Tai might have learnt his lesson about going through your room. You want to hang out a little? You haven't had supper yet and I think there's enough food to the three of us." She nods and puts her costume onto the hanger.
They head for the table and sit down. Sora's mom is busy making supper. They talk about the party that they're going to. She doesn't tell Sora what her brother's costume is, though Tai is going as a vampire. They then talk about Matt's band and about the concert that's coming up in November.
Sora then leaves to set the table, leaving her to think about how handsome TK will look in his prince costume. She sighs as she pictures the two of them dancing. She blinks as the image disappears and she finds Sora almost finish setting the table. They soon resume their conversation.
(--------------------------------------Matt-------------------------------------------)
He glances over to where Gabumon is resting. They were watching a late night movie. The time is 10:46 pm and he should be heading for bed. He has school tomorrow.
He turns off the TV and the lights. He places a blanket over his partner and heads for his room. He checks his costume and finds it alright. He's going as a Minotaur for Halloween; he even has the plastic horns and hooves. It was something nobody would expect him to dress up as and he hopes that it deters girls looking for Matt the lead singer for the Ice Wolves.
He soon chances into his pant PJs. He lies on his bed without the lights on and let his thoughts drift. He thinks about school mostly and soon he's fast asleep.
(---------------------------------------Jager-----------------------------------------)
'Why do I feel so energetic all of a sudden?' He thinks as he walks towards the meeting place where Fanglongmon asked them to meet at. It's just Izzy, Tentomon, Revmon, and he himself. He's been feeling more alive this week then he even felt in most of his life. He first notices it the day after they finished the robotic parts for their costumes.
'Come to think about it, why wasn't I tried like them on that day? I should have been drop dead tired too. I wonder how long this has been going on? Lets see, it might have started during August and has been building up since. So why am I just noticing this now?' He thinks as he reflects more deeply on the subject.
He snaps out of it as he finds that they have reached the meeting place. He studies the surroundings, an old habit, and finds six trees that look alike. They even have these markings on them too. The markings look to be program symbols. He feels he should know what they do, but soon a flash of light happens and he soon finds himself in a cave. A well lit cave, but a cave none the less.
They move forward and they then find Fanglongmon on a rock bench. "Welcome. I hope that you're alright with me teleporting you here." Fanglongmon says apologetically. "It's alright, no damage done." He says. The others nod in agreement. They look around and find spots to sit.
After they're comfortable, they wait for Fanglongmon to begin. "My thanks for getting this project started. I know that the others are usually too busy to with their own worlds and that Azulongmon tends to have confidents in those he places his trust in to find solutions for most of the problems that arise in his realm." His surprise to learn that this world was Azulongmon's realm; he never gave much thought about it before. Fanglongmon continues, "The program as it is will be enough for me to create that Digital World. I might have send for you earlier but needed time to rest and to restore my energies. I also must say that the program is much more then what I expected and the credit rests on your shoulders. You should feel proud at this and if you ever wish to visit with your three friends, just send a message through Gennai."
They nod at this and get up to leave. "May I speak with Jager for a moment, please?" Fanglongmon asks them. They all turn to look at him and he says, "Sure." The others leave in a flash of light. He then turns to face Fanglongmon.
He waits for the mega level Digimon to address him. Finally Fanglongmon asks, "How are you feeling?" He blinks in surprise at the question and says, "Fine, just a bit more energetic the usual." Fanglongmon nods at the answer, almost like he was expecting it. "Do you know why?" Fanglongmon asks. He shakes his head no and doesn't see where this is going.
Fanglongmon pauses and then says slowly, "Do you remember all the wizard types you've fought?" He looks surprised at the question. "Yes." He says simply. "Do you remember a time when you might have captured during any of those encounters?" Fanglongmon asks. He thinks it over and answers, "I've never been taken. Revmon is usually there to keep them from thinking about it." Fanglongmon looks puzzled at his answer. "That makes no sense. The spell is slowly becoming active. How about blanks in you memory?" Fanglongmon asks. He is puzzled about the mentioning of a spell, but the only important blank was simple. "My first encounter if Lilithmon. According to Revmon, I indeed up kneeling in front of her. I don't remember doing that, but I trust Revmon to tell me this things." He informs the great dragon. "Let me guess, you defeated her soon after that encounter?" Fanglongmon asks. He nods.
Fanglongmon shifts his weight a bit; he gets the feeling that the gold dragon is nervous about something. He waits for the Digimon to tell him more. "The spell that was caste is usually summons a collar. Now if the collar gets attached to the victim, once you deleted the caster, the spell is broken. But if the collar just touches the victim and doesn't attach, the spell be comes dormant. Usually it'll active within a month minimum and to a maximum of ten years. In your case, you don't age the spell remained dormant for a longer period of time. Now something has activated it. I can't image what, for you're still not aging." Fanglongmon tells him honestly. "TK's aging." He says in awe. "Why should that matter?" Fanglongmon asks puzzledly. "TK's my other self. Gennai connected us up in hopes of jump-starting my aging process. Once TK reaches fourteen years old, he'll either stop aging too or we'll both age together." He explains.
They both say, "O." at the same time. "I passed it onto TK!" He says. Fanglongmon nods and says, "If it makes you feel better. It's not going to stay active, once it runs its course, it'll become dormant again. It'll be years before it'll wake up. By then you could have it removed." "Why would it become dormant? Usually it needs to be broken for it to stop." He says. "You're the one housing the spell, not TK. Plus, you have an X-Antibody in you. That'll alter the effects of the spell too." Fanglongmon tells him. "I have an X-Antibody?" He asks, stunned at the news. "It's the reason you were able to be reborn again. I'm not too sure how you and your partner indeed up with them, but they're there. I believe you need to go, I think your friends and partner are waiting for you. We can hopefully talk more about this later." Fanglongmon informs him.
He nods and soon he's covered in light and is standing at the clearing. "How did it go?" Izzy asks him. His eyes travel towards his partner and he answers, "Fine. He wanted to inform me on the fact that I have an X-Antibody in me and about something private." Revmon looks confused as to why he's looking at him, but he'll talk to his partner later. They soon leave the clearing to get home to do homework.
