Author's Notes: I'll try and explain some stuff in this chapter regarding the events that has occurred between the finale of Beyond The Other Side and the premiere of Ascension. And whatever digivolutions and other things I didn't get to in the last book will probably be featured here, okay? So enjoy!
Disclaimers: Digimon belongs to Fox, Saban, Toei Animation and whoever else owns it.
Ascension - V 1.2
"I want to know everything about those Digimon. Their weaknesses, their vulnerabilities...you should know them considering that you were part of a team called the Monster Makers who experimented and created the first Digimon." Yamaki patiently waited for an answer from the other man. "They've evolved beyond their original programming. There's no telling what type of strengths and weaknesses they have anymore," stated Janyu.
Yamaki crossed his arms. "You must have programmed some sort of failsafe, something that you can activate in case things got out of hand. Where is it? How can you activate it? I need to know...the survival of mankind depends on it!!" Janyu shook his head wearily. "We never considered that the Digimon would go this far so we never really programmed anything of the sort. For us...it was something to do for fun but there was one person who took this very seriously."
"Ah, yes. The infamous Shibumi. Just as we figure who's who on your little team, he vanishes without a trace. I'm a fair man, Mr. Wong. So let's make a deal...you and your colleagues find a way to send those Digimon back to where they came from and prevent them from ever entering our world again...in return, I'll leave your son and daughter out of our little study." Janyu forced himself to stay in control of his emotions. "What have you done with Henry and Suzie? What type of study are you talking about?"
Yamaki gave the other man a report. "They've been identified as part of the group that my teams have been trying to capture. My superiors want to know what makes these Digimon tick as well as this whole partner bond between the children and the Digimon. We were originally planning to bring them in and conduct tests. If you can devise a way to send the Digimon back or find a more effective solution of analyzing their weaknesses, then your son and daughter can return home safe and sound without having to fear about being captured."
"Capturing children just to perform tests on them?!? No human would-" Yamaki quickly cut off Janyu. "The tests will not harm the children in any way and they're fairly standard scientific tests. Nothing unreasonable. But they may have to go to therapy since who knows how the Digimon may have warped their minds. After all, they've already refused to cooperate with us on several occasions. Once they have been psychologically evaluated, the doctors will have to determine whether they have to be confined for the safety of society."
Janyu stood up quickly but before he could reach the other man, a pair of guards blocked his way. "Once the public finds out about your operation, you'll be finished!" Yamaki paused at the doorway. "They don't care about what has to be done as long as a solution is found quickly. I'll come back in an hour. Please consider your choices very carefully."

'Peace and quiet...we haven't been able to get a lot of that recently. Especially with those science weirdos, as Takato put it, chasing us, Beelzemon loose in the city and visitors not just from the digital world...but from other quantum planes as well. And now with the world aware of real live Digimon...it's madness out there. It's times like these when I wish I could get another identity. I mean, if Izzy was able to create something out of thin air for us to get into school, then I can...no. I don't have those types of connections to the digital world. Our digital world is a barren wasteland which goes by the idea of survival of the fittest. Their digital world is certainly more developed. With how they can access the network, false authentic documentation can be easily created. Then it's just a matter of hacking into other computers and reworking a few files.' Henry gave a smile, remembering the look on Izzy's face when he was asked to help him and his friends get into school, considering how suspicious it would be if they weren't in there during the day.
He got up and walked over to the bathroom to wash his face. 'Just how did those agents know where to find us anyway? Our disappearance certainly didn't help things. They probably based their theories about how we're collaborating with the Digimon on our disappearance. I'm just glad I was able to get us out of there in time. Why did Suzie have to get involved? With the possibility of those agents tapping into the phone line, we won't be able to keep in touch with mom and dad. And I don't have access to a computer!!'
The boy looked over to see his sister still asleep. Lopmon was secure in her arms but with the way she was trying to move gently, she wanted out. Henry slowly helped Lopmon get out of her arms. The rookie Digimon gave a stretch. "Thanks for getting me out of there." Henry smiled. "No problem. Are you going to come downstairs? Terriermon and Renamon should be back with some breakfast."
"I'll come down a little later." He nodded before heading to the large staircase. Two weeks after the final battle, several businesses have decided to relocate themselves. The region had proved itself to be dangerous with several Digimon appearing in the area all at once at one time and destroying things. The tamers had had their hands full but once all the Digimon were gone, people were afraid to go back again. They found a partially destroyed hotel, which had enough space for the entire group with the part that wasn't destroyed. Even though they had found a safe place to hide, a person had to be up for a few hours of guard duty to keep an eye out for anything that may jeopardize their safety or the city (except for Suzie since Henry insisted that she get her sleep).
'I can only imagine what our families must be going through. Learning that we're Digimon tamers is shocking enough...but having those mysterious agents after you doesn't help things at all.' His thoughts were interrupted by Rika giving a small yawn. "Renamon, what's up?" He looked over to see both Digimon with packages in their possession.
"Breakfast is up." She placed three bags on the table while Terriermon struggled to get one on. Rika looked inside the bags. "Deep fried shrimp...sushi rolls...chicken teriyaki...Renamon, this isn't breakfast! This is an afternoon watching sumo wrestling!"
The fox Digimon took a bag before moving into another room where Guilmon and Calumon were talking. Terriermon hopped off the table and followed her. "I'm just glad the laws of trade don't apply to us!" Henry gave a sigh, wondering if they're going to have to keep stealing for the rest of their lives. He decided to just take his share along with Suzie's and Lopmon's upstairs. "Morning, gogglehead."
Takato took a seat and gave a sigh. He opened the package in front of him and took a piece of sushi out with his chopsticks. 'If only I didn't draw that stupid picture in the first place...' "Hey, are you alright?" He looked up into Rika's concerned violet eyes. "Yeah. Why do you ask?"
"Because your entire sushi roll has wasabi all over it...unless you really like wasabi." Takato looked at the roll, covered in green paste. "I'm just thinking about what happened last night. You know...it was my fault that the Digimon came here in the first place. It wasn't Beelzemon's finger on the trigger. It was mine too."
"Takato, that was something you had no control over. Look...Henry said that with each event comes a number of possibilities, both good and bad. When you created Guilmon, there was a good chance that he would have been killed in battle or something else. Heck, Renamon could have uploaded his data any time during our first two encounters. That Digimon that got uploaded was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. End of story. You know...in another quantum plane, he's probably saving the day as we speak. And Renamon would probably be swooning and screaming 'My Hero!!' at the top of her lungs." The boy slowly gave a smile. "Thanks for cheering me up. I shouldn't overreact to these types of things."
Rika felt a sense of relief wash over her. "Yeah, don't worry about it. We better eat up before going out for patrol for any other visitors from alternate quantum planes." Takato found a glass of soya bean milk and took a sip. "I still don't really understand how they actually get back, assuming that they don't get killed and all. Remember the time when...um...that other you came..."
The girl nearly choked on her teriyaki. "Don't remind me of that!! It's sickening to even think that in another timeline that Ryo's my boyfriend!! But I guess she would have been equally disgusted if she found out about us. She was here for about a little over a day before another vortex opened out of nowhere and sucked her in. There's so much we don't know about these rifts. Except they occasionally let something nasty pop out." Takato gently placed his hand over hers. "Well, whatever nasty thing pops out, we'll deal with it together." Rika gave a small smile.
"Alright!! Munchies!!" Calumon dived right into his food. Renamon was sipping on her tea when she noticed something strange. Guilmon was actually taking his time eating. Normally, he would scarf down his meal until there was either no more food or he got a stomach ache from eating too fast. She saw that he was looking at the two tamers at the table. "Guilmon, why are you watching Takato and Rika?"
The virus rookie Digimon turned his head around to speak to Renamon. "Takatomon says a lot of nice things to Rika and that makes her feel happy. I wanted to hear what he said so I can say them to you and make you feel happy."
Renamon could feel a small blush making its way up to her cheeks. 'He says something so simple and for some reason, I feel like melting. This concept about romance is so confusing...do I really feel anything more than friendship for Guilmon? Or is it just a reflection of Rika's relationship with Takato?' About a week ago, Guilmon had came up to her and made some rather interesting remarks.
{flashback}
She sat on the window ledge, enjoying the view of the full moon at night. Although it wasn't her turn for guard duty, she didn't require much sleep. "Renamon? What are you doing up?" The fox Digimon looked over her shoulder to see Guilmon. "I just wanted to see the stars and do some thinking."
"Okay." He was about to walk away when he decided to ask her the question that was nagging at him for quite a while. "Renamon, for some reason, I feel all funny around you. I don't feel this way when I'm around Takatomon or anybody else. Just you. Why is that?" Renamon looked at him strangely. "Where exactly is this funny feeling?"
He pointed to his heart. "Right here. I also feel something funny in my tummy and...it's just that when I'm around you, I feel happier. A whole lot happier. I mean I feel very happy when I'm eating but when I'm around you, I feel very, very...very happy." She couldn't believe what he was saying. "Guilmon, are you saying that you're in love with me?"
"Maybe I should go ask Takatomon about love so that I don't have to bother you anymore. Sorry." He quickly turned around to find his tamer. Renamon sat there, completely stunned by his confession. 'Maybe he doesn't know what he's talking about. But if he really does feel all this for me, what do I feel for him? Great...my personal life has become some big cosmic joke.'
{end flashback}
"You want to say some nice things to her? Let me give you a hand!! I've got some great pick up lines that will drive her to the point where she won't want you to move an inch away from her!!" She snapped out of her thoughts to see Terriermon and Guilmon walking over to another corner. Before she could follow, Terriermon looked back. "And don't think of eavesdropping!! This is between us mon only."
As Terriermon started whispering in Guilmon's ear, Renamon made a mental note to kill Terriermon if Guilmon said anything inappropriate. "...and that is what is known as a pick up line!! Go try it out!!" Guilmon gave a grin before moving over to where Renamon was standing. He stopped before looking back at Terriermon. "Um...what does 'bang the gong' mean again?"
Terriermon buried his face in his paws. "I give up...I just don't understand how a knucklehead like you can score with a fox like her without using any type of pick up line!" Renamon gave a smirk. "Your pick up lines are the precise reason why you have remained single. I would wager that many females would find manure to be much cleaner than your mouth."
Terriermon's jaw dropped wide open. The fox Digimon turned her attention to Guilmon. "And that is what is known as a diss." Terriermon quickly put himself together to talk to Guilmon. "I don't know what the hell you did to win her over but do yourself a favour. Don't blow it, meatstack." At the moment Terriermon mentioned meatstack, Guilmon started to drool. "What did I just say?!? Sheesh!!"
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Positron Laser!!" Imperialdramon fired his attack at the mysterious gigantic Digimon. He was black in colour except for his face, some parts of his body and his two giant missiles, which looked like yellow faces. Behind him was a grey tower, with inscriptions on them. It was also glowing a dark purplish colour which usually meant that it was infused with dark energy. The other Digimon opened up several missile launchers on his body. "Mega Barrage!!"
The other mega Digimon weaved in and out but occasionally a few missiles would hit him. "Just who is this guy?!? I don't think I've seen him in any D-1 Tamer Tournaments before!!" Down below, Taichi Yagami watched as his partner kept fighting. "Zero's gonna get worn out if you don't think of something!!"
The boy turned to glare at Gabo, the Gabumon guide who accompanied him throughout his journey in the digital world. "I'm aware of that, Gabo. Maybe there's something in the notebook that can help me...I just hope that I haven't been doodling too much!" He quickly scanned through the book and found something that may be of use. "Digi Scan!!" His Digivice on his left wrist started beeping as it scanned the information on the page which mentioned the possibility of Imperialdramon transforming into a humanoid version of itself.
"Imperialdramon mode-changed to...Fighter Mode!!" He looked up to see the enemy preparing for another attack. "Gargo Missile!!" Imperialdramon took off into the air to get some distance before he fired his own attack to make the missiles explode in mid air. With that taken care of, he started to dive down towards the other mega Digimon.
"I've always wanted to see Zero try out that wicked combo I saw in a video game. Let's see if he can pull it off. Digi Scan!!" Taichi scanned some writing in the notebook with his Digivice. Imperialdramon landed in front of the other Digimon. "Oh, boy..." He quickly performed a move to stun his opponent long enough to stick his weapon in the centre of his chest. "Positron Laser!!" He thrust his right arm forward, giving the energy attack more power. It drilled into the other Digimon's chest multiple times before he dissipated into data. (AN: I based this on one of Long's Hyper Beast Combos in Bloody Roar: Primal Fury on GameCube)
Imperialdramon gave his traditional victory pose and made a V with his fingers. "Ah, it feels so good to do that again!!" Gabo couldn't help but grin. "Looks like the 100% Combination has scored another victory." Imperialdramon turned around to face the tower that the other Digimon appeared to be guarding. "I don't know what you are but it's time that I remove you!! Positron Laser!!" He fired but a forcefield came up around the tower and negated the attack.
"Maybe you should try actually lifting the tower or something." Imperialdramon nodded and moved closer but he couldn't with the forcefield preventing him from touching the tower. Taichi crossed his arms. "This may turn out to be a bigger problem than I thought. I don't think I have anything in my notebook that could help in this particular situation. We'll have to go see Lord MagnaAngemon and figure things out from there."
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Sir, the towers in the northern and western dimensions have been set up but the respective chosen children in those dimensions have defeated Galfmon and Umegagargomon," stated Diaboromon. (AN: I've gotten a name for BlackSaintGalgomon!! The um part is short for umbra which is the darker part of the shadow being cast. Also, this way it sounds like omega!! A play on words so to speak) "Well, now...we can't let their honourable sacrifices go to waste. Diaboromon, you will supervise the installation of the tower in the southern dimension. And that will leave you with the eastern dimension, Armageddemon. One more thing...please place your personal agendas aside for the duration of the mission. The last thing I need is for anyone to go out and seek revenge against those who killed you in the first place." Both mega Digimon gave a respectful bow before leaving.
'It doesn't really matter what I say. Their thirst for vengeance will overwhelm them and lead them to their destruction. Oh, well. That'll just make my revenge even sweeter. Once all four towers are in place and are ready to go, I can finally take on my final form...silly children. Don't you know that Gods cannot be destroyed?'
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Did you hear that?" Ken Ichijoji stopped working on the computer. Wormmon blinked in confusion. "Hear what, Ken?" The boy went to the bathroom to splash some cold water on his face. "I could have sworn I heard someone laughing. Maybe it's me but I've got a queasy feeling that something crazy is about to happen."
I'll explain about the story behind V-Tamer in the next chapter but you can check it out for yourself at the Manga translations website! I think I gave you the site address before but in case you forgot, it's http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~wakkonat/vtamer/index.html and there is where you can read Chapters 1-3 and Chapters 14-17. I've only read those chapters so I can't do anything major with V-Tamer except incorporate what I know into the sequel. They're still working on Chapters 4-13. This is all thanks to Megchan's translations so thank you!! Give me a shout and I'll see you later!!

Ascension - V 1.2
"I want to know everything about those Digimon. Their weaknesses, their vulnerabilities...you should know them considering that you were part of a team called the Monster Makers who experimented and created the first Digimon." Yamaki patiently waited for an answer from the other man. "They've evolved beyond their original programming. There's no telling what type of strengths and weaknesses they have anymore," stated Janyu.
Yamaki crossed his arms. "You must have programmed some sort of failsafe, something that you can activate in case things got out of hand. Where is it? How can you activate it? I need to know...the survival of mankind depends on it!!" Janyu shook his head wearily. "We never considered that the Digimon would go this far so we never really programmed anything of the sort. For us...it was something to do for fun but there was one person who took this very seriously."
"Ah, yes. The infamous Shibumi. Just as we figure who's who on your little team, he vanishes without a trace. I'm a fair man, Mr. Wong. So let's make a deal...you and your colleagues find a way to send those Digimon back to where they came from and prevent them from ever entering our world again...in return, I'll leave your son and daughter out of our little study." Janyu forced himself to stay in control of his emotions. "What have you done with Henry and Suzie? What type of study are you talking about?"
Yamaki gave the other man a report. "They've been identified as part of the group that my teams have been trying to capture. My superiors want to know what makes these Digimon tick as well as this whole partner bond between the children and the Digimon. We were originally planning to bring them in and conduct tests. If you can devise a way to send the Digimon back or find a more effective solution of analyzing their weaknesses, then your son and daughter can return home safe and sound without having to fear about being captured."
"Capturing children just to perform tests on them?!? No human would-" Yamaki quickly cut off Janyu. "The tests will not harm the children in any way and they're fairly standard scientific tests. Nothing unreasonable. But they may have to go to therapy since who knows how the Digimon may have warped their minds. After all, they've already refused to cooperate with us on several occasions. Once they have been psychologically evaluated, the doctors will have to determine whether they have to be confined for the safety of society."
Janyu stood up quickly but before he could reach the other man, a pair of guards blocked his way. "Once the public finds out about your operation, you'll be finished!" Yamaki paused at the doorway. "They don't care about what has to be done as long as a solution is found quickly. I'll come back in an hour. Please consider your choices very carefully."

The fox Digimon took a bag before moving into another room where Guilmon and Calumon were talking. Terriermon hopped off the table and followed her. "I'm just glad the laws of trade don't apply to us!" Henry gave a sigh, wondering if they're going to have to keep stealing for the rest of their lives. He decided to just take his share along with Suzie's and Lopmon's upstairs. "Morning, gogglehead."
Takato took a seat and gave a sigh. He opened the package in front of him and took a piece of sushi out with his chopsticks. 'If only I didn't draw that stupid picture in the first place...' "Hey, are you alright?" He looked up into Rika's concerned violet eyes. "Yeah. Why do you ask?"

Rika felt a sense of relief wash over her. "Yeah, don't worry about it. We better eat up before going out for patrol for any other visitors from alternate quantum planes." Takato found a glass of soya bean milk and took a sip. "I still don't really understand how they actually get back, assuming that they don't get killed and all. Remember the time when...um...that other you came..."
The girl nearly choked on her teriyaki. "Don't remind me of that!! It's sickening to even think that in another timeline that Ryo's my boyfriend!!

"Alright!! Munchies!!" Calumon dived right into his food. Renamon was sipping on her tea when she noticed something strange. Guilmon was actually taking his time eating. Normally, he would scarf down his meal until there was either no more food or he got a stomach ache from eating too fast. She saw that he was looking at the two tamers at the table.

Terriermon buried his face in his paws. "I give up...I just don't understand how a knucklehead like you can score with a fox like her without using any type of pick up line!" Renamon gave a smirk. "Your pick up lines are the precise reason why you have remained single. I would wager that many females would find manure to be much cleaner than your mouth."
Terriermon's jaw dropped wide open. The fox Digimon turned her attention to Guilmon. "And that is what is known as a diss." Terriermon quickly put himself together to talk to Guilmon. "I don't know what the hell you did to win her over but do yourself a favour. Don't blow it, meatstack." At the moment Terriermon mentioned meatstack, Guilmon started to drool. "What did I just say?!? Sheesh!!"

Maybe there's something in the notebook that can help me...I just hope that I haven't been doodling too much!" He quickly scanned through the book and found something that may be of use. "Digi Scan!!" His Digivice on his left wrist started beeping as it scanned the information on the page which mentioned the possibility of Imperialdramon transforming into a humanoid version of itself.
"Imperialdramon mode-changed to...Fighter Mode!!" He looked up to see the enemy preparing for another attack. "Gargo Missile!!" Imperialdramon took off into the air to get some distance before he fired his own attack to make the missiles explode in mid air.

He thrust his right arm forward, giving the energy attack more power. It drilled into the other Digimon's chest multiple times before he dissipated into data. (AN: I based this on one of Long's Hyper Beast Combos in Bloody Roar: Primal Fury on GameCube)
Imperialdramon gave his traditional victory pose and made a V with his fingers. "Ah, it feels so good to do that again!!" Gabo couldn't help but grin. "Looks like the 100% Combination has scored another victory." Imperialdramon turned around to face the tower that the other Digimon appeared to be guarding. "I don't know what you are but it's time that I remove you!! Positron Laser!!" He fired but a forcefield came up around the tower and negated the attack.
"Maybe you should try actually lifting the tower or something." Imperialdramon nodded and moved closer but he couldn't with the forcefield preventing him from touching the tower. Taichi crossed his arms. "This may turn out to be a bigger problem than I thought. I don't think I have anything in my notebook that could help in this particular situation. We'll have to go see Lord MagnaAngemon and figure things out from there."

"Sir, the towers in the northern and western dimensions have been set up but the respective chosen children in those dimensions have defeated Galfmon and Umegagargomon," stated Diaboromon. (AN: I've gotten a name for BlackSaintGalgomon!! The um part is short for umbra which is the darker part of the shadow being cast. Also, this way it sounds like omega!! A play on words so to speak) "Well, now...we can't let their honourable sacrifices go to waste. Diaboromon, you will supervise the installation of the tower in the southern dimension. And that will leave you with the eastern dimension, Armageddemon. One more thing...please place your personal agendas aside for the duration of the mission. The last thing I need is for anyone to go out and seek revenge against those who killed you in the first place." Both mega Digimon gave a respectful bow before leaving.
'It doesn't really matter what I say. Their thirst for vengeance will overwhelm them and lead them to their destruction. Oh, well. That'll just make my revenge even sweeter. Once all four towers are in place and are ready to go, I can finally take on my final form...silly children. Don't you know that Gods cannot be destroyed?'

"Did you hear that?" Ken Ichijoji stopped working on the computer. Wormmon blinked in confusion. "Hear what, Ken?" The boy went to the bathroom to splash some cold water on his face. "I could have sworn I heard someone laughing. Maybe it's me but I've got a queasy feeling that something crazy is about to happen."
I'll explain about the story behind V-Tamer in the next chapter but you can check it out for yourself at the Manga translations website! I think I gave you the site address before but in case you forgot, it's http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~wakkonat/vtamer/index.html and there is where you can read Chapters 1-3 and Chapters 14-17. I've only read those chapters so I can't do anything major with V-Tamer except incorporate what I know into the sequel. They're still working on Chapters 4-13. This is all thanks to Megchan's translations so thank you!! Give me a shout and I'll see you later!!
