Grochek1:
1. I usually get my information from Digital Empire, Shining Evolution, and the Digimon Encyclopedia websites. I have to cross reference because there are problems with each of them. Shining Evolution's Digidex is heavily based on Japanese names, the Digimon Encyclopedia is only dub anime, and the Digital Empire has a few errors in their listings. I'm also making up Digimon as well and I will feature them in my profile.
2. Not necessarily. It is only popular opinion that they are the ones to get the 4 remaining Spirits. That's not what really happened on the show. I am breaking from popular opinion on the 4 Spirits.
3. Not really. In fact, Ancient Spirit Evolution was what they used to create Susanoomon.
4. In the case of the Tamers, no. The Digidestined might pop up in flashbacks but are unlikely to show up as main characters.
Cave Cat:
Thank you for offering a fan made Digimon. I'm not too sure about using him right now. Maybe later.
I'll touch on him getting hungry, but I already have a different idea for how his Spirit Quest will turn out.
Oh, and please don't spam the review boards asking me to update. It takes time to write a chapter and edit it for correctness. I'll update when my chapters are ready to be posted.

Toei and Bandai own Digimon, and Nintendo owns Pokemon. Some Digimon used in this fic belong to me.

Chapter 2: A Tale of Two Wars
Three months had passed since the Pokemon World had been plunged into war. Everything began when the Silph Company began experimenting with technology that could manipulate the time-space continuum. Their experiments led to the discovery of another world called the Digital World. Silph's discovery was a boon to the economy as it opened new locations to acquire resources. Silph's owners became even richer men as people flocked from around the world to get a piece of the action.
The pioneers built Silph Town as their settlement and the gateway between their world and the Digital one. It wasn't long until the pioneers encountered the natives of the Digital World, the Digimon. These magical creatures had much in common with their Pokemon. They were ruled by six Sovereigns who governed the different areas of the Digital World. Trade began between the two peoples which would bring economic prosperity for both sides.
However, the Digital World had also attracted those people with evil intent such as Team Rocket, a Pokemon trading racket. Long ago, the Sovereigns had sealed away an evil deep in the Dark Area of their world. This evil, Mephistomon, called out to those with black hearts to free him from his prison. This single act was the start of the corruption of the Pokemon World by the unholy artefacts known as the "Stones of Doom."
These evil ones had corrupted the government of Kanto and began a war with the nation of Hoenn. The all the battles during this time would later be known as the "Doom Stone War." Despite major casualties, the forces of good triumphed and destroyed the Stones of Doom and Mephistomon once and for all. After the battle, the heroes of the Doom Stone War went their separate ways. Three of these heroes, Ash, Brock, and May, went travelling together on a journey to learn about Pokemon and fulfill their dreams.
The three soon made it to Silver Town of Johto. The leader of the group, Ash Ketchum, competed in the Johto League Silver Conference championships against stiff competition. Though the Doom Stone War was still fresh on the people's mind, the Silver Conference went ahead anyways. Hoenn had been ravaged from Kanto's invasion and the event would be a great fundraiser for reparation money. Ash made it to the quarter finals to be defeated by a rival trainer named Harrison who hailed from Hoenn itself.
After Harrison lost in the semi-finals, he and Ash began a discussion on their experiences as Pokemon trainers. "Meeting you was one of the most important things I've ever done as a Pokemon trainer. It's just as important to me as the day I first got my Torchic from Professor Birch. Ah, since then I've seen so many places and Pokemon."
"Yeah, it's been really exciting to be a Pokemon trainer. It seems like everyday, I'm making a new friend and meeting a new Pokemon," admitted Ash. "During the Doom Stone War, I've made friends with the Digidestined who protect the Digital World."
"You know Ash; I think you should go to Hoenn. There's a lot to see there; new Pokemon and new people. Though many cities were ruined by the war, I've heard that they're reopened many of the Gyms. They're going to hold the Hoenn League later on to raise more money to finish the rebuilding. Why don't you go there and compete? It's for a good cause."
"Yeah, why not?" Ash turned to his favourite Pokemon, Pikachu. "You up for it, Pikachu?"
"Pikachu! (Yeah!)" replied the Electric mouse.
"Well then, look out Hoenn, 'cause here we come!" cheered Ash.
"So you're eager to go... I knew you'd be. Meet my friend Prof. Birch and he can sign you up for the League," suggested Harrison.
It wasn't long before Ash boarded a boat and made his way to the nation of Hoenn with his friends Brock and May. They soon came upon May's home, the Petalburg Gym, which had been rebuilt after being bombed by Kanto. "May!" cried May's father Norman as May approached her home.
"Oh May, thank goodness you're alright!" exclaimed May's mother, Carolyn.
"Mom, dad, I'm so happy to see you!" said May as she hugged her parents.
"What a relief!" said Norman. "You've made new friends!"
"Yeah, I sure did. Have you seen Max?" asked May.
"No, Max never found his way home," replied Carolyn.
Norman sighed. "We got separated when the Kanto army advanced in Petalburg. The authorities don't know where he is. That's why I want to ask a favour of you..."
"I know. You want me to find him don't you?" asked May.
"Yeah, if you ever see him on your travels please let us know. Tell him his parents are okay and not to worry."
"Okay dad, you can count on me!"
Days later, the trio had reached Rustboro City. Construction workers were hard at work rebuilding new homes for the families that had been dispossessed. Though many buildings had been flattened, the city was beginning to recover from the damage brought on by the war. The Rustboro Gym had been rebuilt recently and Ash challenged the Gym Leader, Roxanne, to a battle. With skill and ingenuity, Ash defeated her for a Stone Badge.
"Yeah, I won a Stone Badge," cheered Ash as he thrust his prize into the air.
Suddenly, Ash's Pokedex began to beep. He had received a message from his friend, Gennai. "Hey Ash, are you there?"
Ash flipped his Pokedex open. "I'm here Gennai. Did you and the Digidestined succeed in curing Misty?"
"No unfortunately, that last cure turned out to be a dud."
"Shoot! I thought we had one for sure."
Ash fell silent and hung his head. During the course of the war, the heroes had been captured by Team Rocket. They took Misty and used a Stone of Doom to perform genetic experiments on her to create the ultimate weapon. As a result of these experiments, Misty had been aged into a woman and mutated. She became Marilith; a six-armed, half-woman, half-serpent monstrosity and attacked her friends. Her friends defeated her and purged her corruption, it didn't cure her completely but rather reduced her mutation.
In her new form, Misty was still a half-woman, half serpent mutant, but didn't have six arms like Marilith did. She was a marine creature with olive green skin and hair as blue as sapphires. She had been rendered comatose from her purification and had only awakened recently. She was shocked when she learned the truth of what she did and couldn't bear to face Ash, who she cared about and loved deeply. Though Ash didn't blame her, Misty saw her own betrayal every time she thought of him and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Are you okay, Ash?" asked May.
Ash looked up. "Yeah, I'm fine..."
"You're thinking about Misty again, aren't you?" asked Brock. Ash said nothing, effectively confirming Brock's suspicions. Brock sighed. "You can't make Misty forgive herself. She has to do it herself."
"Ash, you still there?" asked Gennai.
Ash suddenly remembered that he had been talking to Gennai. "Sorry Gennai, I forgot about you!"
"That's okay. I know Misty is important to you. I've just found another lead that might help her return to normal, but it's not in my Digital World. It's in a different Digital World."
"There are other Digital Worlds?" asked Ash.
"Of course. Mine isn't the only one."
"Tell me about the lead."
"There's a medicine man named Baronmon who lives in that world. He might be able to concoct something that can help Misty. I'm standing outside of Baronmon's hut right now and I've already brought her inside. Wait a moment and I'll bring you here too."
A glowing portal opened before Ash, May, and Brock. The three Pokemon trainers stepped inside and were instantly brought into the other Digital World. May remarked how dark this new Digital World was and cringed at each sound she heard. The three stood near what looked like a stone wall, and beside it was a simple straw hut. There was an unknown scripture written on the wall that no one could fathom. A young, brown-haired man in robes turned to greet the trainers. He was Gennai, the man who guided them to victory in the Doom Stone War.
Beside him was a Digimon that was as tall as a ten year old child. This Digimon had spiky red hair and wore green robes. At first glance, he looked like he was wearing a Balinese mask; a mask that the natives of that region of the world would wear for religious ceremonies. In actuality, it was actually the Digimon's face. This Digimon, Baronmon, resembled a demon with long fangs and blue skin. Baronmon kept watch over a nearby kettle that was simmering over an open fire.
"Hello Ash," greeted Gennai. "Before we start, I want to give you a gift from Professor Oak and Izzy."
"Oh, is the new Pokedex and Digimon Analyzer program ready?" asked Ash.
"Yeah, when you scan a Digimon, this program will approximate what Pokemon type matches the Digimon and its attacks. Granted, Pokemon and Digimon are different so there will be some inaccuracy with this new program. However, it should give you an idea as to what a Digimon and its attacks would be like so you think of a counter."
Gennai waved his hands over Ash and May's Pokedexes, magically uploading the programs. "Thanks Gennai!" said May.
"No problem," replied Gennai.
"My potion is about to be complete. Please wait inside while I make the finishing touches," offered Baronmon.
The group entered Baronmon's hut and was greeted by the sight of several unusual knickknacks and memorabilia. It was a true shaman's abode filled with items originating from primitive cultures from around the world. Seated on a mat was Misty who was looking around at the items in the hut. Misty resembled a naga in her mutated form; a half serpent, half human being. She was as beautiful as ever even though she wasn't fully human. Unfortunately, Misty viewed her new form more of a curse than a blessing.
"Hi Misty," said Ash.
"Hi Ash..." said Misty meekly, as she averted her gaze.
"I've finished the potion!" called Baronmon as he entered his hut. "Drink this and it should return you to normal."
Misty took the bottle from Baronmon's hands. It was filled with strange bubbling red liquid with a strong smell reminiscent of cinnamon. She took a sip of Baronmon's potion to find that it inflamed her taste buds. It was like drinking soda pop made from several chilli and jalapeno peppers. She nearly spit the liquid out. Despite feeling as though her taste buds were on fire, Misty forced herself to drink the rest of the potion.
The group anxiously waited for the effects to kick in. Misty felt a tingling sensation that began in her stomach and radiated through her body. The colour from her skin began to fade into the healthy beige colour of a normal human. Her blue hair turned into its normal carrot orange colour. After these two changes, the transformation stopped altogether. Misty looked at herself and realized that she was still a naga.
"What happened? I'm still a snake woman!" exclaimed Misty.
"I'm sorry. That's all I can do," said Baronmon regretfully.
"Look at the bright side! You're returning to normal Misty. Don't give up now! You're too close to quit!" said May.
Misty frowned but once she realized May was right, she cracked a smile. "Yeah, you're right May! I can't quit now, I know I can become a normal girl one day."
"I can't help you anymore, but I do know of a lead that can help you. North of here is a traders' market known as the Autumn Leaf Fair. They sell many things there, so you may find a cure there," advised Baronmon.
"We don't have any money..." admitted Ash as he showed that his pocket was empty.
Baronmon pulled some coins out of his robe's pocket and held them out. "Here, use this money to buy your medicine."
Misty took the coins. "Thanks Baronmon. You've been a big help!"
"I must be going now," lamented Gennai. "I have important things to do. If you need to leave, talk to Baronmon. He can cast a spell that will take you back to the Pokemon World." Baronmon nodded affirmatively. Gennai waved to the trainers and vanished in iridescent light.
Beetlemon followed the directions of his D-Tector to the mountains north of Ophanimon's Castle on the Earth Continent. As he searched the area, he discovered a blocked entrance to a cave in the mountains. Beetlemon smashed his way in and found the remains of an abandoned research facility. Cobwebs had formed on each nook and cranny from prolonged neglect. There were rusted weapons such as guns and swords on a nearby rack and faded maps on the walls. It was obvious that this facility was for military purposes.
Beetlemon wondered who had owned it. He searched through the compound and found an office belonging to the former commanders of the base. JP scanned through the fallen filing cabinets to find several soiled and faded documents on the base and its operations. Though they were written in Digital script, he could comprehend them since he was a Digimon. Beetlemon learned that they were from the time of the first Human-Beast War; the one that occurred before Lucemon came to power.
This facility belonged to the Human side of the war. It was for research into new power sources to fuel the war machines of the Human Digimon army. The lab had created a machine that could harness the power of lightning and store its energy in special batteries for future use. This machine was called a "lightning collector" and had a secondary function for generating thunderstorms. This lab was about to complete its final test when the Beast Digimon attacked it. Beetlemon's detector lit up and led him to the main lab area.
The lab was sealed off by heavy metal blast doors that had been rusted from neglect. Beetlemon smashed the doors open and brushed aside some cobwebs as he walked in. He laid eyes on a massive machine that stretched all the way to the roof. The bottom was shaped like a donut and contained the computers that ran and diagnosed the machine. At the back were several batteries still hooked up to the machine for charging. This machine was the lightning collector.
At the donut's centre were several large wires that ran downwards in a cylinder. From the design of this machine, the wires were likely connected to some sort of antenna above, possibly on the mountain itself. Lightning would be attracted to strike the antenna and run down the wires of the machine. The machine would then use this power to charge the batteries that were connected to it. Beetlemon suddenly heard the Spirits of Thunder speaking to him. They wanted him to charge them with lightning just like the batteries.
Beetlemon walked up to the machine and released the powers of the Human Spirit of Thunder to become JP once again. The Spirits flew out of his D-Tector and embedded themselves in a charging slot in the machine. Suddenly, the power returned to the base and the machine turned on by itself. Even though he knew this was his Spirits' doing, JP was surprised by it nonetheless. Electricity began to flow down the wires and into the Spirits. JP watched as electricity arced between the Spirits.
"How long is this going to take?" thought JP. "Man, I wish I could really go for a burger right about now. I'm starving!"
JP suddenly heard a clang from elsewhere that jarred him back to reality. He hid himself behind a partially opened doorway at the other end of the room. Several shirtless, dog-like Digimon with long ears entered the room and scanned the area. These Digimon had Gatling guns for hands and wore a belt of bullets around their bodies. These Digimon were known as Gargomon and looked like a raiding party. JP suspected that they were here to acquire the lightning collector technology for a modern day Human-Beast war. He was in trouble with his Spirits still in the machine.
====================Digimon Analyzer====================
Name: Gargomon
Attributes: Vaccine, Champion level, Metal element
These dog-like Digimon are commandos for the Beast side of the Human-Beast War. These Digimon specialize in penetrating the lines of Human Digimon and bringing devastation to their ranks.
Special Abilities/Traits:
None
Gargo Laser - Gargomon have Gatling guns as replacements for their hands. These weapons can spew hundreds of energy bolts within a second.
Bunny Pummel - Gargomon can make a leaping uppercut with his guns. He fires them while performing this move to increase the injury to his foe.
The five Gargomon fanned out and examined the room. "Boss, there's something in this slot!" reported one of the Gargomon.
"Ah, what a find! The lightning collector is still operational and the Human and Beast Spirits of Thunder are here too," remarked the chief Gargomon.
"Oh great!" muttered JP under his breath. "They found my Spirits!"
"Find a way to turn off this machine!" ordered the chief.
The Gargomon began to fiddle with the lightning collector's control panels in an effort to discover a way to shut it off. They tried the manual shutoff switch but the machine did not respond. "No good, the machine is jammed!" cried one of the Gargomon.
JP sighed in relief as he had gained some time to think of a course of action. As he wiped sweat off his brow, he accidentally knocked a rusted chunk of metal off of his door. It landed with an audible clang and alerted the Gargomon. "SHOOT HIM!"
The Warrior of Thunder dove onto the ground and covered his head as the Gargomon rained bolts of energy in his direction. JP was terrified and could sense the bolts zinging over his head. Dust fell off the walls and dirtied his jumpsuits more than it already was. The shots pitter-pattered as sparks jumped from the metal walls and door. All of a sudden, the Gargomon stopped and everything became eerily quiet. JP peeked out to see what looked like a green mechanical rabbit talking to the chief Gargomon.
====================Digimon Analyzer====================
Name: Rapidmon
Attributes: Vaccine, Ultimate Level, Metal Element
This mechanical rabbit is one of the latest war machines to come out of Digimon-kind's factories. The green Ultimate level model is the mass produced version while the rarer Armour level model is golden, more advanced, and uses Holy power.
Special Abilities/Traits:
Flight, Inorganic
Rapid Fire - Rapidmon can fire missiles from launchers in his arms. The golden model has warheads with positive energy payloads.
Tribeam - Rapidmon uses his whole body to emit a powerful triangular green beam that destroys everything in its path.
"There's a rat lurking behind that door. Flush him out!" ordered the chief Gargomon.
"This is not my lucky day!" cursed JP as he made a run for it.
The Rapidmon launched a rocket through the doorway and into the wall. The rocket burst into a fireball behind JP, who leapt to the ground for cover. He could feel the heat behind him as dislodged chunks of the wall landed on him and the ground. The Gargomon surrounded the Warrior of Thunder and tied him up. They rudely tossed him into the side of the lightning collector's room and began to question him. The others resumed their search for a way to shut off the machine and claim his Spirits.
"How do you shut off the machine?" asked JP's interrogator threateningly.
"I don't know!" cried JP. "... And even if I did, I certainly wouldn't tell you!"
The interrogator slammed him into the wall out of frustration. "The Human Digimon must be desperate to send a fat shit like you to stop us... Now tell me, how do we stop the machine?"
"I told you I don't know! The machine turned on by itself! I don't know how to turn it off!"
"What do we do now, chief? The human won't cooperate..."
"If he won't cooperate then we don't need him," replied the chief Gargomon. "Take him outside and shoot him!"
The interrogator punched JP hard in the gut and slung him on his shoulder. Just as he walked out with JP's body, the Spirits of Thunder finished charging. They began to emit immense amounts of golden light which flooded the room. The light hurt Rapidmon and the Gargomons' eyes and blinded them momentarily. A burst of electricity surged out of JP and into the interrogator's body, knocking him unconscious. The other Gargomon heard his scream and rushed to see what was wrong.
Lightning arced along JP's body as he beheld the Spirits of Thunder in the palms of his hands. A Kanji of Thunder made of electricity appeared on his head. "I will not allow you to misuse this machine. I will protect it with my life! Execute," he cried as he thrust the Spirits of Thunder together. "Fusion Evolution!"
The fusion of the two Spirits of Thunder produced a massive burst of electricity. The electricity surged through the Warrior of Thunder's body and began to form into a blue metal insect chitin. The chitin grafted itself to his body, turning him into a giant mechanical rhinoceros beetle. The beetle expelled spheres of lighting from a pair of golden exhaust ports on his back. He fired an electrified yellow beam from his long golden nose horn and opened his mouth to roar triumphantly.
"Rhino Kabuterimon!"
====================Digimon Analyzer====================
Name: Rhino Kabuterimon
Attributes: Variable, Fusion Hybrid, Electric Element
The power of a thunderstorm merged the Spirits of Thunder to create Rhino Kabuterimon. This insect Digimon is a tank on six legs who loves to gore his opponents with his horn.
Special Abilities/Traits:
Can course electricity along the surface of his body
Thunder Laser (Electric) - Rhino Kabuterimon can use his nose horn to project an electrified beam of energy at distant targets.
Condenser Storm (Electric) - Rhino Kabuterimon can launch ball lightning at his enemies from the exhaust jets on his shoulders. This attack is remotely controlled.
The light from the lightning collector faded. The Gargomon and Rapidmon pelted Rhino Kabuterimon with a seemingly endless rain of energy and missiles. Their attacks were unable to penetrate his armour and had no effect. The Warrior of Thunder charged into Rapidmon with immense speed and gored him to death. At the same time, the Gargomon were knocked onto the ground. Rapidmon and Gargomon's Fractal Code became exposed as he laid sprawled on the ground.
More Gargomon rushed in from the outside to help but Rhino Kabuterimon steamrolled the entire squad. With the Gargomon defeated, Rhino Kabuterimon materialized his D-Tector before his horn. "You will not abuse the power of Thunder. Let it purify you of hatred. Fractal Code Digitize!"
The D-Tector began to absorb the Fractal Code of Rapidmon and all the Gargomon. Their eggs appeared and then vanished on their way to the Village of Beginnings. Rhino Kabuterimon's work was not yet done. He feared what harm could be brought about if the lightning collector fell into the wrong hands. This was especially true with the imminence of war between Human and Beast Digimon. The Warrior of Thunder sealed each doorway as he left, burying the secrets of the lightning collector within the mountain.
At the Flame Terminal, several Digimon were gathered outside of the head offices of the Flame Steel Company. All of them were fiery Beast types and were the workers who manned the smelters in the nearby plant. Their union had organized a strike to protest their working conditions. The Digimon picketed with several signs and demanded better pay and less strenuous work hours from their employers. On occasion, some of the picketers shouted slogans to make their demands heard and attract support from bystanders.
"We want fair pay and fewer hours! When do we want it? Now!" cried one of the steel workers.
"Beast types deserved to paid the same as Human types!" cried another.
Several Digimon in police uniforms had the protestors surrounded. They were in heavy protective gear in case violence broke out in the crowd. "Dirty Human Digimon! We want fair pay and we want it now!" cried an angry flaming lizard, Flare Lizamon, as he tossed a stone at the police.
Other steel workers began to follow the Flare Lizamon's lead and advanced on the police. The police fought back with their clubs, injuring many of the workers. The workers grew even angrier and began to attack the police. The fiery steel workers shot fireballs and other fiery attacks on the police who hid behind their shields for protection. The police retaliated with their own special powers and chaos overtook the streets of Flame Terminal.
"What's going on?" asked Zoe as the Warriors pulled into the station at Flame Terminal.
The Warriors could hear several screams coming from deeper in Flame Terminal. An explosion rocked the village and the Warriors ran to check things out. They were greeted by the sight a massive riot that had broken out in the city. The explosion had come from an overturned truck that had been set on fire by the rioters. Several nearby Beast Digimon cheered the explosion as they jumped on the ruins of the truck to celebrate.
Other Digimon were smashing the windows of nearby stores and looting them. All of the rioters were Beast Digimon who were taking out their frustrations on the Human Digimon in Flame Terminal. Several Digimon, Human and Beast, were sprawled on the ground and groaning. They had been injured as a result of the chaos of the rioting. Other injured were police officers who had stepped in to stop the violence but became its victims. Several medics loaded the wounded onto stretchers and took them out of harm's way.
"Takuya, over here!" called an unknown voice.
He looked around and found a small white impish Digimon. Beside him was a yellow rabbit in a pair of tight red pants. "Bokomon, Neemon, are you guys okay? How did this happen?"
"It's awful!" commented Bokomon.
"These Digimon were meeting outside of a steel mill and all of a sudden everyone starting fighting!" replied a terrified Neemon.
"You have to do something, anything!" cried Bokomon.
"Don't worry we will. Just calm down and don't panic. Okay everybody, let's end this riot!" said Koji. "Execute, Spirit Evolution!" In a cocoon of Fractal Code, Koji became Lobomon, Human Hybrid of Light.
In cocoons of Fractal Code, the other Warriors assumed their Digimon form. Takuya became Agunimon of Fire, Zoe became Kazemon of Wind, and Tommy became Chakkumon of Ice. The four Warriors waded into the chaos and began to stop rioters wherever they may be. With swiftness, Agunimon swept the legs from under a Flare Lizamon and put him onto his back. Chakkumon came in and used his Crystal Freeze power to blow an icy wind and encase the Flare Lizamon in a block of ice.
Kazemon entered into a spinning handstand kick known as the "Tempest Twist." Like an eggbeater, she pummelled several of the rioters into the ground. She sent a gust of Hurricane Wind another group and blew them into a pile. Lobomon fired a bolt of positive energy into the leg of a Greymon rioter and stunned him momentarily. As the Greymon came to attack him, Lobomon cut the Greymon down with his energy sword, the Lobo Kendo.
Chakkumon pelted a group of Candlemon with his snowball-firing Blizzard Blaster bazooka. The animated candles were trapped them in an avalanche of snow and unable to move. The police quickly regained control of the riot thanks to the help of the Legendary Warriors and were grateful for their help. The chief, an Etemon, was an ape-like creature in a police officer's uniform and sunglasses. He was a fairly muscular looking Digimon with a congenial air about him.
"What can you tell us about the Asuramon that came into town?" asked Koji.
"Witnesses have told us that they came into town from the west. They attacked the Beast Digimon, but no one knows why. We tried to stop them but they overpowered me and several of my men. I sent one of my best officers to follow but he lost their trail somewhere in the forests," replied the police chief.
"How did this riot start?" asked Tommy.
"It began with a union protest outside of the Flame Steel Company. Witnesses say a Flare Lizamon tossed a rock at the police and the violence began. More Beast Digimon joined in and the riot got out of hand," replied Etemon.
"Man, those massacres really made everyone angry at each other..." commented Takuya.
Etemon sighed. "Yeah, it has driven a wedge between Human and Beast types. I just don't get it. Why would some Human Digimon just walk into Flame Terminal and attack Beast Digimon for no apparent reason? They had no grudges that I know of. They didn't steal anything."
The Warriors were stumped. "Maybe we'll find more clues at Steel Town..." suggested Takuya.
JP's voice came over the D-Tectors. "Guys, are you there? I just finished my Spirit Quest!"
Takuya pulled out his D-Tector. "Really? Great work! Listen, we're going to Steel Town now. Meet us there, okay?"
"Okay, no problem," replied JP.
"I guess that means it's our turn to go..." observed Zoe.
"Wish us luck!" requested Tommy.
"We will. Let's go Koji," called Takuya.
The two Warriors made their way to the local train station. As they were about to board a Trailmon, Neemon and Bokomon ran after them. "Wait guys, take me too!" called Bokomon.
"Don't forget me either!" called Neemon.
"Okay, fine. Come along you two," said Takuya. The Warriors, Bokomon, and Neemon boarded the Trailmon and began their journey to Steel Town in search of new clues.
