Finally time for the next chapter!

Now, this chapter is going to have the first instances of modified Digimon, featuring one with a different level, and one with a different type from how they actually are in official information.

This is mostly for story purposes, so, you know, don't flame me about being wrong or stuff like that.

Anyway, enjoy!


Runaway Train! JewelBeemon & Angewomon!


"...it's hot…" Wormmon sighed as he and Ren walked through the desert.

"It can't be helped…" Ren sighed. "Don't worry though, I know I saw a village this way. We'll get to it eventually," he reassured, earning a small nod from Wormmon.

It didn't take too long after that to reach the town he had seen, and it was in the style of a wild west town (not that either of them know what that was), quickly heading into the saloon and both of them just getting water, relieved to have a moment to relax after walking in all that heat.

"One heck of a scorcher today huh?" the saloon owner, a peacock like Digimon with a bush replacing the back feathers and a crown on his head, said conversationally.

Ren nodded "I'm glad we found this town when we did."

"Well, we get passerbyers often enough, so welcome to our humble little town. The name's Deramon, what's yours strangers?" Deramon asked in a friendly tone.

Digimon Analyzer: Deramon

Deramon. Data Type. A Perfect Level Bird Digimon. At first glance one could mistake it for a simple bird Digimon, but it's body has incorporated plant data as well. Though it can't fly, it's still a relatively powerful Digimon. Its special attacks are Royal Nuts, shooting off nuts from the bush on it's back, and Gorgeous Beak, pecking at the enemy with it's solid gold beak.

"My name's Wormmon, and this is Ren," Wormmon said, having finished another glass of water. "We're...kinda looking for our friends," he explained.

"That so? Well...what do they look like? I get a lot of customers, but my memory is pretty good as long as its jogged," Deramon said.

"A Salamon and a person like me but with orange hair." Ren answered.

Deramon tapped his chin in thought with one of his feathers, before shaking his head "Nope, haven't seen them."

"Well...it was a long shot, but thanks," Ren said politely.

"No problem. Good luck in finding your friends," Deramon smiled.

It wasn't too long after that they were out of the saloon and walking through the town, hoping to find any clue as to the location of any of the others besides the D-Core pointing them in a general direction.

And then Ren noticed something interesting.

"Strange… one of them seems to be coming this way… very quickly at that." he realised as one of the dots was speeding towards his location.

"It's not Yang or Weiss at least, or they'd be easy to spot in the sky on top of their partners." Wormmon said as he looked into the cloudless sky.

"And Garurumon isn't THAT fast." Ren added, his eyes narrowed as he tried to figure it out. He didn't need long, as the ground started shaking, followed by the sound of an engine of some kind being heard.

"That sounds pretty ominous." Wormmon said, feeling somewhat worried.

"Is that...a train?" Ren frowned when he heard the sound again. "We'd better get to the train tracks!"

Thankfully the station was almost painfully obvious, and reaching it, they could see a form speeding down the tracks towards the town, a cloud of steam rising up from it.

"At the speed he's going, he'll make enough wind pressure to tear the train station apart." Wormmon said seriously.

"Think you can stop him?" Ren asked.

"Maybe not, but I can slow him down." Wormmon said with narrowed eyes as Ren's D-Core started to glow.

"Wormmon, Evolution! Stingmon!"

Quickly running out onto the tracks, Stingmon stepped out into the open and released his wings, flying ahead as fast as possible, reaching his target quickly, still a minute away from town.

"You're… Locomon. But why are you doing this?" Stingmon wondered to himself as he hovered overhead for a moment, before diving down.

Digimon Analyzer: Locomon

Locomon. Data Type. A Perfect Level Machine Digimon. A Digimon whose sole purpose is to always move to its destination, never stopping until it reaches the goal. Its movement is confined solely to the tracks, but there are rumors of it being able to cause a distortion by going in a circle fast enough. Its special attacks are Steam Bomb, turning the steam coming out of it's smokestack into an explosive, and Wheel Grinder, using a spike protruding from its wheels to attack anything on its sides.

"Faster...faster! FASTERFASTERFASTERFASTER!" Locomon roared.

Even though it wasn't visible, Stingmon's eyes would have narrowed at the words, having the feeling something was off, but decided to focus on one thing at a time as he placed his hands on Locomon's face and shoved his feet into the ground, pushing back against the locomotive Digimon and trying to slow him down, his wings buzzing behind him to try and make enough wind that would normally push him forward.

At first there wasn't any visible effect...but little by little Locomon was slowing down a bit...not enough to stop, but at least he wouldn't be creating a wave of destruction when he rolled through the town. "Okay...this isn't quite working...but at least its doing something…" Stingmon grunted, but he kept on pushing. He needed to slow down Locomon enough for his partner to get on.

When the train rolled into the station, Ren had to wait for an opening, as the cabooses where each too close to each other for him to jump in between, eventually getting on through the last one, as Stingmon lifted his feet and Locomon started to pick up speed again, thankfully getting out of town before reaching his previous speed.

Once Ren was inside, Stingmon quickly maintained his flight near Locomon, looking for a way to stop the Digimon, while his partner was going to try and do the same from inside. Now the only problem was….how the heck was he supposed to get THIS monster to stop?

Looking around, the last caboose didn't have anything in it, it just seemed to be for storage, though it did have some luggage from the looks of it, meaning there were people on this train.

Considering how the train was sentient, at least he didn't have to worry about causing too much noise, since this wasn't like a typical hostage situation. However, when he got through a door...he was met with a...unsurprising sight.

The Digimon were panicking, each and every one of them, and it was honestly rather loud. In fact, they were so panicked they didn't even notice him.

Sighing lightly, he walked past them, heading into the next train car, which appeared empty at first glance… until you heard the loud snoring in it. Looking at the source, he was hit with a mixture of relief...and bemusement...when he saw none other than Nora, snoring away without a care in the world.

Salamon turned around from where she was trying to wake her partner up by tapping her stomach repeatedly, sighing in relief when she saw Ren "Oh thank everything you actually found us."

"How long has she been asleep?" Ren asked, glad to see the two of them were safe at least.

"5 hours… we've been on the train for a while, before it even went crazy." Salamon explained.

"I see...I'm guessing you don't know why the train's gone crazy? Stingmon is trying to stop it, or at least slow it down, but I don't think he'll be able to do it without some help," Ren sighed.

"No clue, I've been trying to wake her up so we can investigate but she's sleeping like a log… and she's loud." Salamon finished dryly.

"That's because she's sleeping on her back, if she sleeps on her side she doesn't snore." Ren said idly as Salamon jumped off Nora's stomach and the stoic boy flipped her onto her side, and the snoring stopped just like that.

"Okay, glad that's over at least," Salamon sighed. "Now how to wake her up? And yes, I even tried jumping on her belly. It didn't work. At all."

In response, Ren raised his fingers, and snapped them, and they both heard Nora groan as she started waking up.

Salamon was speechless with her jaw hanging until Ren closed it for her.

"Nora tends to wake up if you snap your fingers. Unfortunately I'm not surprised you couldn't do that," Ren sighed, as the puppy-like Digimon was grumbling under her breath, something about 'hands'.

A moment later, Nora was sat up, yawning as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, blinking her eyesight clear, before her eyes fell on Ren… and she was suddenly gone from her seat and had her arms around him as she hugged him. "Glad to see you too, Nora," he managed to say through the hug.

"I missed you Renny! It sucked when I woke up and it was only me and Salamon so we kinda looked everywhere for you and all the others but we couldn't find anybody so then I started to worry what happened and if we were gonna find you but now you're here and everything's ok!" Nora said, all in one breath surprisingly.

"Well...I wouldn't say everything's ok," Ren started. "Still don't know where everyone else is, and we ARE inside a runaway train."

Nora blinked as she let go of him, looking around and then peering out the window "Huh… didn't know about the runaway part."

"It happened while you were asleep." Salamon supplied helpfully "Now, can I evolve please? I want to be ready in case anything happens."

"Oh, yeah, totally!" Nora said with a grin as she grabbed her D-Core and it glowed.

"Salamon, Evolution! Gatomon!"

"Much better." Gatomon said as she cracked her neck.

"We should head up to the front car, see if anything's wrong with the engine." Ren suggested.

"Okie-dokie! Lemme just grab Magnhild." Nora said before standing up on her seat and sticking in her hand in the small space on the ceiling, pulling out her weapon in grenade launcher form.

"...please be careful with that," Gatomon sweat dropped. "We ARE still inside a Digimon...okay, make that there still are OTHER Digimon inside here."

"Well, not in this specific car, and the ones in the last car were panicking about the train being out of control." Ren added.

"Right, don't smash stuff too quickly," Nora nodded.

"Hopefully Stingmon finds a way to slow Locomon down while we do this." Gatomon said as they headed into the next car.


"Okay...that's the last of them…" Stingmon sighed, having piled up a small barricade of boulders, hoping that'd stop Locomon. "And here he comes…" he said before getting out of the way. Locomon came...and promptly smashed through the barricade like it was nothing. Stingmon would have had his eye twitching if he could at his hard work going to waste.


"Okay...that was quite a bump…" Gatomon blinked once they all steadied themselves.

"Stingmon was probably trying to stop Locomon, but I think we'll need to slow him down from here if we want to be able to help," Ren frowned.

"Right! So… honest question, how do you stop a train? I don't know how they work." Nora asked curiously.

"Depends on the train, this one is steam powered, so we need to cool down the engine at the front." Ren answered easily.

"So the front of the train we go," Gatomon shrugged.

The trip down the train was...strangely uneventful. So far it didn't seem like there was anything to impede them, and soon enough, they were at the front of the train, where the engine was.

"There doesn't seem to be any water." Ren said with a frown as he looked around the engine car, not finding anything that could be used to put out the fire in the engine itself.

"And the grate is shut tight." Gatomon added as she tried to pry open the latch keeping the engine covered.

"Let me try." Nora said as she hefted Magnhild up, with Gatomon getting out of the way before Nora started swinging, striking the grate a few times, denting it and slowly succeeding in opening it.

Just as she was about to give the last swing…

Something green and slimy came at her from behind, grabbing her before she could swing again "Wha-?!" she didn't even get to finish one word before the tentacles pulled her back, over the coal car, and back into the train itself.

"Nora!" Ren and Gatomon said in alarm, before running after her. However, when they left the engine room, the door to the engine room shut tight by itself, followed by what appeared to be more tentacles suddenly wrapping around the door, sealing it off.

"If that isn't a sign there's something else going on here, I don't know what is." Gatomon said with a frown as she looked back at it.


At the same time, Nora was… afraid. Wherever she was, it wasn't good, especially not as she was made to remember.

Her parents, she inherited her mother's hair and her father's eyes, they had lived in Mistral, happy, for the first few years of her life.

Then she lost them, she still didn't know what caused it, but her parents had died one day, and she was inconsolable without them.

Until she ended up in the arms of her grandmother, her only remaining relative.

Her grandmother was strong despite her age, she had always thought the woman was quite possibly a retired huntress. Sadly, that too didn't last, as one day when she had come to wake her grandmother up...she didn't wake up…

After that… she was alone.

The only thing left being the memory of her family, and the words her grandmother told her.

"You have the brightest smile Nora, never lose it, it would be such a shame if no one ever saw it again."

So she did her best to smile, just like her grandmother would have wanted, despite the fact she was now wandering the wilderness alone, doing her best to scrounge up food.

And then she met Ren.

She woke up with a gasp, and immediately she was confused.

This… this wasn't where she had fallen asleep, and WHEN had she fallen asleep at that?

The last thing she remembered was something attacked her from behind while on board Locomon. Instead, she was...in a bed?

She blinked as she looked around, finding herself in what could best be described as a normal bedroom, with a whole bunch of dolls and stuff. Oh and it was really pink. Her favorite. Before she could think much of it though, the door to the room opened, revealing…

"G-Grandma?" Nora blinked. There was no doubt about it. There, standing in the doorway, was her grandmother.

"Is something wrong, dear? You look like you've seen a ghost," her grandmother asked in that kind voice she'd missed so dearly.

Nora was trying to form a sentence, her jaw working up and down in confusion as she looked at her grandmother, before she was further confused when she saw her parents behind the elderly woman. "M-mom? D-dad?" she asked, her eyes tearing up.

"What's wrong, Nora?" her parents asked, now very concerned for their daughter, before she promptly hugged them.

"I...I…" Nora sniffed, before they hugged her back, calming her down. Eventually she started telling them a number of things, about how they died, how she was left alone...but eventually they stopped her.

"Its okay dear...it was just a nightmare," the three of them said comfortingly.

"B-but what about all my friends? What about Ren? Or the Digimon?" Nora asked, still so confused.

"Oh, you just dreamt them all up. You've had dreams about that Ren boy before, I'm starting to wonder if he isn't your dream man." Her grandmother teased her, making Nora blush a bit.

"Though this is the first time you've had a dream with Sala in it," her mother chuckled, idly picking up a stuffed puppy toy with cream colored fur and floppy ears.

Nora frowned a bit as she accepted the stuffed toy from her mother.

She was happy that they were all alive.

But…

Something was… strange.


"Nora!" Ren exclaimed in a combination of worry and surprise when he and Gatomon entered one of the empty train cars and saw her just standing there, still holding onto Magnhild.

"Nora? Are you...alright?" Gatomon asked, worried at the state her partner seemed to be in. She got her answer when Nora suddenly swung her weapon at them, forcing them to jump back.

"Nora, what are you doing?!" Ren asked in confusion, before he was able to get a good look at her eyes.

They were empty, hollow, almost lifeless. And thus they were once more forced to evade as Nora moved, like a puppet on strings, attacking them without hesitation.

"This is bad. Something's controlling her, but we don't know what!" Ren growled.

"We need to find out what it is then." Gatomon said as the two of them retreated back outside and climbed up to the top of the train cars, with Ren narrowly avoiding having his foot smashed by Magnhild.

"Ren!" Stingmon said in worry as he came down quickly, landing on the roof when he saw his partner and Gatomon come up, only to do a double take when he saw Nora be… lifted into the air by nothing and placed on the roof "What did I miss in the last half hour?"

"Too much, Nora's being controlled by something if you want the short version." Gatomon said with a scowl.

"That's bad!" Stingmon said in alarm. "But what's controlling her? I can't see anything!"

"Then it's either invisible… or it's attached to her back." Ren said with narrowed eyes "The whole time she attacked us, she's been facing us."

Right as he realised this, Stingmon moved behind him in a flash, his spikes extended and in the process of ending a swing with his arms.

A second later, a pained screech was heard, as a small mass of green tentacles became visible, after being obviously cut to pieces by Stingmon.

"Not fast enough." Stingmon stated matter of factly, and although it wasn't obvious, he was glaring ahead.

"Tch. Annoying brats," a new voice growled, as the source of the tentacles faded into view.

The first thing they all noticed was how disgusting it looked, having the appearance of a large purple spider with a single eye covering up it's face, and a mass of (currently) cut tentacles coming out from behind it's mandibles, and although it wasn't currently visible, there was also a mouth full of sharp teeth on the back of its abdomen.

"Parasimon? What are you doing here?" Gatomon asked in confusion, her eyes narrowed at the Digimon.

Digimon Analyzer: Parasimon

Parasimon. Virus Type. A Perfect Level Parasite Digimon. A Digimon that survives by leeching off the energy of others, never seen too far from stronger Digimon. It can push the abilities of its host beyond its limits, and tends to take advantage of their desires. Its special attacks are Electric Bind, grabbing an enemy with its tentacles and shocking them, and Digicabolic Steroid, further empowering its host.

"I should be asking YOU that," Parasimon snarled. "I will only say this once. Don't interfere or else…!"

"What are you doing?" Ren asked, already knowing he wouldn't like the answer.

"A little service to my master. With Locomon causing so much destruction with his shockwaves, it will be the perfect diversion from his plans!" Parasimon laughed, shamelessly explaining his plan.

"Causing so much destruction… just to grab attention?" Ren said with gritted teeth, the thought angering him.

"But of course. And Locomon are simply ideal for this task. They're Digimon who will serve a purpose. I'm simply giving it a more useful one!" Parasimon laughed. "Now, I believe I'll even push this plan into the next phase. Digicabolic Steroid!" he said, stabbing his backmost legs into Locomon's body, and the result was… powerful.

"Locomon, Evolution!" the train Digimon shouted as its eyes glowed, its body rearranging itself, parts moving around and panels opening, soon looking like a far more deadly train that was like the combination between a locomotive and a hot rod, with several exhaust pipes coming out of its body, and with one large spiked wheel at the front "GrandLocomon!"

Digimon Analyzer: GrandLocomon

GrandLocomon. Data Type. An Ultimate Level Machine Digimon. Breaking beyond the limits of speed of its previous form, this Digimon can easily surpass the speed of sound, and is difficult to stop. Whereas it originally needed a railway system to move, it can now create rails wherever it goes. Its special attacks are Destroyed Crash, attacking its enemies with the spiked wheel at the front, and Limited Express, ramming into the enemy at supersonic speeds.

Everyone not flying or being helped by Parasimon had to hold onto to something to avoid being thrown off at the sudden increase of speed. Parasimon however was laughing maniacally. "That's it! That's it! Run wild! Destroy everything!" he laughed.

"S-Stop it…!" came a pained voice...from Locomon.

"No, you're doing as I say!" Parasimon snapped.

"Cruel… You're just too cruel!" Ren said through grit teeth as he kept his body low, shielding his face from the wind as his Crest started to glow softly.

"Why thank you!" Parasimon said condescendingly, before laughing again.

"Someone like you, who takes pleasure in the pain of others… I can't forgive someone like that!" Ren added as the glow of his Crest grew.

"That so? And what could you POSSIBLY do about it?" Parasimon asked condescendingly.

"We're going to stop you. THAT much is a promise," Ren growled, wanting nothing more than to stop the suffering this creature was so callously causing onto others. At that moment the glow of his Crest reached its peak.

(Play Brave Heart)

Ren's D-Core vibrated before changing into a shade of Magenta with green buttons, before the beam of light was shot out, going through the Tag and releasing the Crest, which flew past the clouds, gathering power as it reached its peak and released the burst of energy that shot down the beam into Stingmon. "Stingmon, Super Evolution!" he called out, before his body was covered in energy, slowly hardening, before from the back of his shell, a crack developed and a split appeared, his new form soon emerging from within his old form. His new armor was a lighter shade of green than the previous, with red ridges, and yellow gems embedded into the armor, the gauntlets holding blade like claws at their tips, his helmet now covering most of his face, but exposing a human mouth, his antennae being thinner, but far longer than before, his wings now constantly released, and a spear with an almost star shaped tip appearing in his hand "JewelBeemon!"

Digimon Analyzer: JewelBeemon

JewelBeemon. Virus Type. A Perfect Level Insect Digimon. His armor is covered in radiant jewels that reflect the light of the sun, blinding his enemies. A grappling expert, he is a graceful fighter, and wields his spear like a master. His special attacks are Spike Buster, swinging his spear at the speed of light and generating a shockwave, and Shot Claw, launching the claws at the tip of his gauntlets.

Parasimon looked up at the newly evolved Digimon and sweat dropped...maybe he shouldn't have ran his mouth in retrospect. Whatever the case, he shook his...body...and quickly focused again. He still held the cards after all. "Fine, if that's the way you want to play!" And with that, Nora ran forward, aiming to take someone's head off with her hammer. However, before she could hit anyone, JewelBeemon easily stopped her, before knocking her back (careful not to hurt her). "Gatomon, now!" he called out, to which Gatomon used his shoulder as a springboard, and jumped over Nora to get at her back. When she got close she saw a small purple and green spider attach to her back, grabbing hold of it and starting to pull, Nora's body going rigid "It's stuck pretty tight!" Gatomon said through grit teeth as she pulled.

"I'll help!" Ren said as he joined her in trying to pry off the spider from his friend's back.

"Oh no you don't!" Parasimon growled, before suddenly from within the train, a large number of 'Drones' appeared. "Let's see you try to stop me when you're under my control!" he said, and the drones began attempting to swarm them, only for JewelBeemon to quickly intercept and destroy a large portion of them, keeping them away.

"I'll hold them off! But hurry!" he said urgently, to which they nodded and resumed trying to get the drone off.

(Song End)


At the same time, the home Nora was inside of was slowly crumbling away, as she sat in the living room with her family, looking down sadly.

"This… it was all in my head… wasn't it?" Nora said, as her D-Core and Crest faded into view on her body.

"We're sorry Nora. We never wanted to do this, but Parasimon's drone took control of the memories you had of us, and created this world to try and keep you in it." the memory of her father explained sadly, as he and the rest of her family were slowly fading away.

Nora nodded, still looking down "I kind of wish you guys actually were still alive though."

"We know Nora. I really wish we could have watched you grow." the memory of her mother said with a sad smile.

"But remember, you're not alone anymore. You have all of your friends, and you have something even more important." the memory of her grandmother said with a kind smile.

"More important than my friends?" Nora repeated in confusion.

"You know what it is." the old woman said with a kind laugh "It's the most important thing to you, or rather, the most important person, they are your light."

"My light." Nora repeated, a whisper, as she looked down at her crest, before smiling a bit as it started to glow.

"Go back Nora. They need your help." the memory of her father said with an encouraging nod.

Nora grasped her D-Core and Tag in her hand, before nodding, and getting up. "I love you," she said before turning to the door.

"We love you too," her Grandmother said warmly before she was out the door, while the world crumbled around her.


Nora gasped, like she was taking the first of many breaths, as the drone was pulled from her back, and her crest glowed.

She shook her head, before turning back to Ren and smiling at him "I'm back!"

"Welcome back." he answered with a nod and a sigh of relief.

She then looked to Gatomon "Ready?"

Gatomon grinned as she flexed her claws "Born ready." With that, she charged forward, and soon helped JewelBeemon fight off the drones, something Ren and Nora did as well, but the drones were numerous.

"Okay, this isn't working so well," Gatomon frowned, as while they were killing off drones by the dozens, more seemed to take their place.

"Then let's take out the leader!" JewelBeemon grunted, before going for Parasimon...only for Parasimon to suddenly dive under the train, easily maneuvering and hiding away from them, before reappearing again on another section.

"Hahahaha, talk all you want, but its no good if you can't hit me!" Parasimon laughed. "Give it up already, the only fate you all have is to become my puppets!"

"I won't let you do that to anyone else." Nora growled "You won't hurt those I care about!" she shouted, her crest finally reaching its peak.

(Play Brave Heart)

Nora's D-Core vibrated, before changing color, turning pink with white buttons before it released the beam of light, which shot through the Tag, releasing her Crest into the sky. As it reached its peak, the Crest gathered power, before releasing a burst of energy which soon shot down a beam of light into Gatomon. "Gatomon, Super Evolution!" she called out, before her body began to glow, and soon began to change, going from its small cat-like form into a larger human-like form. Her clawed gloves fell off, before a ribbon wrapped around her right arm and extended around her body, resting on her shoulders, while a white glove with a pair of small wings slipped onto her left hand, eight holy wings appearing on her back. Boots slipped onto her feet, a Holy Ring acting as an anklet on her left ankle, while the rest of her outfit formed onto her body. It was honestly rather revealing, having several holes around her abdomen and missing the right leg completely. Finally the glow of her body died down as her upper face was covered by a grey helmet with a cross design on it and wings on its side, and her long hair showing itself as blonde "Angewomon!"

Digimon Analyzer: Angewomon

Angewomon. Vaccine Type. A Perfect Level Archangel Digimon. A normally gentle Digimon, she cannot forgive those with cruel and evil hearts. She holds some of the strongest holy power in the Digital World, with few Digimon stronger than her. Her special attacks are Holy Arrow, creating a bow from the wings on her glove and firing an arrow made of pure holy energy, and Heaven's Charm, creating a cross of pure holy energy, which binds evil in its light before destroying them with the cross fired as a shockwave down the beam of light.

Angewomon descended, flying alongside JewelBeemon, both of them glaring at the approaching swarm.

"Looks like we both reached Perfect, huh?" Ren couldn't help but say as he and Nora saw both Perfect Digimon.

"Yeah, now break his legs guys!" Nora cheered.

"With pleasure!" both of them said, before going straight for Parasimon, though the drones soon got in the way again.

"Out of the way! Spike Buster!" JewelBeemon said, swinging his spear, and releasing a shockwave that destroyed a number of drones.

"Holy Arrow!" Angewomon called out, forming an arrow of light as the wings on her glove extended, before she notched the arrow in her hand, pulled back, and fired, the arrow spearing several drones. However, even as they decimated the drones, Parasimon's speed still proved to be a problem.

"We need to get him to stop, or we'll never catch him," JewelBeemon growled.

"Leave that to me!" Angewomon nodded, before spreading her arms. "Saint Air!" she called out, bringing her hands upward, creating a ring of energy which released particles of light into the air. The moment it was released, Parasimon who had been darting in and out froze.

"Can't….move!" he grunted, struggling to move.

Seeing what was happening, Ren and Nora nodded to each other, before bringing their weapons to bare, and firing at any remaining swarms of drones, destroying them in the ensuing hail of bullets and grenades. "Finish it now!" they both shouted, earning nods from their partners.

Angewomon stopped the flow of Saint Air, the remaining particles slowly dissipating, but it would still last more than long enough for what they had planned next. "Holy Arrow!"

"Shot Claw!" JewelBeemon added, firing the claws on his gauntlets.

"Nonononono!" Parasimon panicked, before he was speared by the attacks...through his big eye… "L-lord Myotismon!" he managed to choke out as his body started breaking down.

"Ouch…" the two hunters winced at the sight, but didn't say anything more as Parasimon was soon deleted.

(End song)

With his deletion, all his remaining drones disappeared as well, and GrandLocomon's eyes stopped glowing as he started to finally slow down.

"Finally." Ren sighed in relief, glad the crisis was averted.

"Yeah! We win!" Nora shouted, before jumping at Ren and hugging him.

He expected that much, catching her with practiced ease.

But he didn't expect her to kiss him.

JewelBeemon and Angewomon both stared at the sight of Ren freezing in place while Nora continued to both hug and kiss him, looking at each other for a moment before going back to the sight "This is new." they both said together.

Once the train finally stopped (and Ren finally recovered from Nora basically admitting her feelings out of nowhere), the group disembarked from the roof, and the two humans were slightly surprised as their partners reverted to being Minomon and Nyaromon.

"Thank you for freeing me from his control. It's nice to have a clear mind again." GrandLocomon said, relief in his voice.

"Well, look on the bright side, you got a power boost out of it all." Nora said with a grin.

GrandLocomon laughed "I suppose you're right, I'll certainly be able to do my job even better than before now. How about in thanks I give you a ride to the next station? It's up in some mountains not too far from here."

"We'd greatly appreciate it." Ren said with a thankful smile.

"Just don't go too fast please." Minomon requested slightly nervously.

"We've had enough speed for one day." Nyaromon agreed with a nod, earning a few laughs.


Done!

And yeah, this chapter we followed Ren and Nora (with ReNora finally sailing!) and they used one of the two Tamers Movies.

So, yeah, JewelBeemon was changed into a virus type, for the simple reason that in Adventure, Digimon usually remained the same type upon evolution, and having him go from Virus, to Vaccine, and then back to Virus (not afraid to admit his final form is Virus) would have been weird.

As for Parasimon receiving a lower level, two fold reason, one, no matter how weak, beating an Ultimate is no small feat, two, we don't want them to get overconfident.

Now, the major thing you all noticed, Gatomon evolving into Angewomon MUCH earlier than in the original series.

Trust me, we'll make this work.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed, because...

The Adventure Evolves.
