And now the last chapter, but not much changes.


Chapter 3: Saving an old friend.

In the city of Hong Kong in the park, a crowd cheered as a young 15-year-old woman named Nene finished her song for the audience. Nene is a fairly tail, has brown hair which is worn with a yellow hairclip, has purple eyes and fair skin. She even has a hair clip to split her hair. She wears a pink and lavender shirt with three large pink buttons on it, green shorts, a red belt, gold bracelets, white stockings, and pink boots with dark green trims

Nene waved to the crowd happily from finishing her song, unaware that they were about to have an unexpected attack that's about to happen. Suddenly, from out of nowhere missiles started coming towards the crowd, exploding upon contact, but didn't kill anyone. This got everyone to panic, even Nene, as they started to panic and try to get away from the missiles. During the attack, a metal ship appeared from the sky, opening from the bottom. From the bottom came out robots as they drop from the ship, landing on the ground hard, raising their weapons, aiming at the people as hostages. Nene looked around in fear at what's happening, before she spotted something coming down in front of her. Coming down is a machine platform, which floated between two robots, and a bold haired man in his 30ties in a white scientist jacket and wearing black clothes is seen bowing in front of Nene.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Nene Amano." The man introduced as he straighten up from his bowing position, with a grin on his face, showing his blue eyes. "Why are you here?" Nene asked with narrow eyes, not liking this man's way of greeting. "It's simple: I've come to know the secret of Digimon from you… and to take you, your little device that is the key, and your Digimon... the Fusion Loader!" The man declared as he pointed his finger at her, making Nene gasp in shock. Nene then brought out her Fusion Loader, holding it close to her chest for safekeeping. "Now my dear, come with me, please." The man offered as to not argue with him. Nene stepped back a bit, shaking her head, not wanting to go with this man at all. Suddenly, the shadows started to move around in a big vortex in the park, getting everyone to look in confusion and wonder at what was happening.

Nene looked confused as well on what was happening, until she spotted something standing on the top of the stage from a distance, or someone. "My... that's quite a performance you got there!" A voice called out, getting everyone to look towards the voice. The voice came from a mask boy, who is Dark Raven Dragon, who is smirking a bit at the group. Dark Raven Dragon was wearing his clothes that he normally wears back in his world, along with his horns out and Mask on, arms crossed and smirking.

Nene eyed the mask figure in wonder, curious about whom he is, but also felt like this Mask figure is familiar and she wasn't the only one. One of the robots took aim and fired at Dark Raven Dragon, who dodged the attack by jumping, before Dark Raven Mask started to attack each robot with a kick, a slice, and either destroying or knocking them down, going very fast and not giving them a chance to attack. The last robot went down by Dark Raven Dragon tapping his knuckles on the front of the robot, shattering it into a million pieces. Dark Raven Dragon smirked at destroying the robots, before they jumped in front of Nene, who is amazed at his skills at the moment. Nene was amazed at Dark Raven Dragon's skills and bravery, with her being reminded how she knew someone like Dark Raven Dragon.

"I'm Dark Raven Dragon." Dark Raven Dragon introduced himself as his Hero, not wanting to reveal his identity yet, before he picked up Nene in a bridal style, causing her to feel nervous and flustered about being carried by this mask figure. Dark Raven Dragon then spread his wings and soon left in a hurry, with the man gritting his teeth in anger about his prize getting away. "Why that little brat! He'll pay for interfering! Attack!" The man ordered as his robots fired missiles at Dark Raven Dragon, who dodged all of them easily with a smirk, still carrying Nene, who held onto him tightly, before he landed in city ground and took off running.

As Dark Raven Dragon continued running to get Nene to safety, Nene still feels nervous about her savior and how he was carrying her. "Uh... why did you rescue me?" Nene asked nervously to her hero that saved her, blushing a bit. "Just helping out an old friend." Dark Raven Dragon replied in return to Nene with a smile, getting her to look confused at what he said.

In the morning on the day, Shadow and Kari spent time with everyone from his team and family, catching up and having fun. After Shadow's singing last night, he was the first target on every girl, who wanted to date him, making Shadow suffer again and Kari have to save a few more times again. Shadow trained with his Digimon with Ruri, with the two spending a brother and sister bonding time, with their partner Digimon doing the same, while Kari, Gatomon and GrimSalamon soon joining them. Alleria soon joined them and helped train her Digimon, with Shadow, Kari and Ruri training her as well. Shadow even helped some of the people help created more buildings in the forest for the people to live in, with everyone calling Shadow a prince, confusing him, along with calling Kari a princess, confusing her as well. Then at night, Shadow was watching TV with Kari, before they saw Nene on TV. Shadow and Kari was surprised to see their old friend again, leads them to realize that they were in Nene's world. Shadow and Kari was amazed at how Nene was singing, so Shadow decided to head to Hong Kong to visit her and spend some time with her, while telling Kari he'll bring her tomorrow since it's late. Suddenly, more robots came down in front of them, causing Dark Raven Dragon to stop from running to find a safe place for Nene to hide in, till it was safe.

Dark Raven Dragon set Nene on the ground gently, before he charged forward and kicking a robot with both his legs, sending one robot flying to the ground. Another robot tried to shoot him, but Shadow spread his wings to take flight, before he summoned his katana to slice and dice them, before he landed on the ground, with the reboots turning into a thousand pieces. Suddenly, Dark Raven Dragon heard Nene screaming from behind him, getting him to quickly turn around and see the man and his platform already capturing a struggling Nene, with giant hands holding her.

"I'm afraid our little game ends now." The man said to Dark Raven Dragon, who couldn't risk blasting him, might hitting Nene, already recapturing his prize. "Dark Raven Dragon, take this!" Nene cried as she threw her Fusion Loader to Dark Raven Dragon, who caught it in his right hand, who looked at it, before he looked back at Nene. "I got it! And don't worry, I'll rescue you! I swear it!" Dark Raven Dragon called back to Nene, promising to rescue her. "I know!" Nene replied back, holding both of her hands together. The man chuckled at what Dark Raven Dragon said. "It's only a matter of time, before its mine. Until then, you can hold onto it for me''. The man said to Shadow, pointing at Nene's Fusion Loader, before his platform went back into his ship, with the ship taking off into the night sky, with Dark Raven Dragon watching with granted fangs, while putting Nene's Fusion Loader in his cloak.

Shadow then chased after the ship very fast, not letting it out of his sights, refusing to let this man take his friend away. Soon Dark Raven Dragon reached the harbor, seeing the ship fly over the ocean, making Dark Raven Dragon growl. Dark Raven Dragon then spread his wings and was about to fly after the ship. "Big brother''. Ruri's voice was heard from behind, getting Dark Raven Dragon to turn around to see his sister and Alleria walking up to him, with both girls wearing the clothes they wearied yesterday. "Ruri! Alleria! What are you guys doing here?''. Dark Raven Dragon said to his litter sisters, taking his Mask off to reveal his face. "Looking for you''. Alleria said to her big brother with her arms crossed, frowning at how Shadow left them at their new home.

"And what do we find. You playing as a super hero, trying to rescue a girl''. Ruri said to her twin brother with a smirk, hands on her hips and now standing in front of Shadow. "That girl I was trying to save is an old friend of mine. I'm going to save her from that mad-man, with or without you guys''. Shadow said to his sisters as he turned back around to face the ocean, putting his mask back on and spreading his wings to chase the skip, before he loses sight of it. However, Shadow feels a hand on his left shoulder, getting him to turn to see that Ruri was the cause, with Ruri smiling at her brother. "We weren't gonna stop you. In fact, we're gonna help you save that girl''. Ruri said to her twin brother with a smile, wanting to help Shadow save his old friend, making Shadow widen his eyes slightly at what she said.

Shadow then nodded to Ruri with a smile on his face, getting Alleria to smile at Shadow accepting their help. "Alright you two, save the brother and sister time for later. We got a ship to catch''. Grimdramon said to his partner from in the Fusion Loader, getting everyone's attention. "His right, you know. You can spend time having brother and sister time later, right now we got a girl to save''. DarkWindDramon said to everyone from Ruri's Fusion Loader, getting everyone to nod in agreement. All three children of Darkness then trainsformed into their forms, before they all took flight into the air to chase after the ship of the mad-man, their mission to save Shadow's old friend, Nene.

(Opening Song end)


In a private base in a snowing forest, we see a front giant gate of a bass being guarded by robots, alarms blaring. Soon, the robot spotted a figure coming their way. The robots opened fired, trying to shoot down the figure. The figure is revealed to be Shadow in his Dark Raven Dragon outfit, who dodged all the bullets in a quick dash like Shadow the hedgehog's running style. Then, before the robots knew it, they were all quickly destroyed by Shadow dashing through them, with one being used to jump in by Shadow to be used to go over the front gate to enter the base. Just as Shadow landed on the other side, an explosion occurred to where the robots used to guard, signaling their destruction. Shadow then got up from a kneeling position and hid behind some crates to not get spotted. Shadow then brought out a compactor given to him by Ruri and Alleria on his left arm.

"Are you guys in position?" Shadow asked his teammates on the other side if they were ready. "Loud and clear, Shadow." Alleria replied back from the compactor to her brother. "We do. The mission is quite simple: we followed that mad man's ship to this base. This might lead us to where your friend is being held captive. We expect an immediate rescue, brother. We'll meet up with you soon." Ruri stated about the purpose of the mission. "Understood. Initiating the mission now." Shadow said as he ended the communicator as he teleported away further into the base to rescue his friend. Soon, Shadow dashed and flew deeper into the cold base, encountering and destroying all robots in his path by ether punching or slicing them. 'Nene, I promise to rescue you... no matter what!' Shadow thought to himself with determined eyes, very concerned for his friend's safety, destroying another robot in the process. After many destroying many robots, Shadow has finally made his way into the base.

In the back of the base, Ruri and Alleria, along with ShadowJackelmon and DarkWindDramon, were also fighting their way in as well. "We got to get into the base, but security is really high." Ruri stated as she and DarkWindDramon flew, carrying Alleria and ShadowJackelmon. Soon, the group spotted a robot firing a missile, which they dodged. "Not to mention, we have killer robots shooting at us." Alleria said as well of the situation. DarkWindDramon took care of the robot with a breath attack, ending the robot. "Don't worry. Once were inside, we can meet up with Shadow to rescue his friend." DarkWindDramon said as she and Ruri placed Alleria and ShadowJackelmon on some random rock and eye for any other obstacles. What the group saw is a searchlight and more robots ahead, making things a bit more difficult.

"We don't want those searchlights spotting us and making this a pain. We'll have to take those out in one shot guys." ShadowJackelmon stated to the group about making this quick. "Agreed. Destroying those searchlight towers along the way can increase our chances of not getting caught." DarkWindDramon said as well to the group with narrowed eyes. "And no more forces coming our way either." Ruri said as DarkWindDramon blasted one tower down from afar. Soon, the group was moving again, taking down towers and robots that cross their path. For a while, the group has finally reached their designation, just as the front gate opened to reveal a waiting Shadow with his arms crossed. "It's good for you to come." Shadow said to the girls and their Digimon. "Good to see you too, Shadow." Ruri replied back to her brother with a smile. "Now that we're together, let's keep going." Alleria said as well, as everyone nodded in agreement.

Shadow looked to the side, still worried about Nene. Ruri notice her brother's expression, and got a little worried as well. "Brother, what's wrong?" Ruri asked in concern, as Alleria, ShadowJackelmon, and DarkWindDramon also noticed the Darkness boy's expression. "I'm just worried about Nene and what that creep is doing to her." Shadow replied to his friends, fist forming and frowning in concern for his friend's safety. Unknown to the group, in Shadow's possession, Nene Fusion Loader began to glow again after so long.

Deep within the base, we see Nene, shackled up and imprisoned in a cell. However, the cell open and someone came in, revealed to be a young boy about a year older then Nene with a sick twisted expression on his face. This person is the son of the Mad Scientist that captured Nene. He had green eyes, green eyes and wearing a black jacket over a green shirt and long black pants and green shoes. "Hello my dear!" The young boy said to the prisoner, grabbing her chin to look at her helpless face, before it turned into a frown upon seeing the boy. "Come now, don't give me that look! Besides, I can't wait to have my way with you once father is done with you!" The boy said lustfully, with Nene's face turning into horror upon learning more about this sick boy's next move. The boy then let his prize go, and sighed, knowing it was not time yet. "Sadly, I must leave you here until it's time. See you later!" The boy said to Nene, as he opened the cell and left. Once the boy is out of view, Nene kneeled down and cried to herself, hoping this nightmare would end. "Mikey..." Nene muttered in tears about the boy she loves. "Shadow..." Nene muttered her friend's name as well, hoping someone will rescue her soon


(10 minutes later)

In Nene's cell, she was still crying at what was gonna happen to her. However, the door suddenly exploded, getting Nene to look up to see smoke covering whoever that was approaching. Then Shadow walked in with Alleria, Ruri, DarkWindDramon, Shadowjackelmon and Grimdramon coming in. Nene's eyes light up when she saw her hero come to save her, but her eyes then saw Grimdramon, making her eyes widen in shock. "Grimdramon! Then you're-''. Nene said in shock as she finally recognized Dark Raven Dragon, making the mask hero smile as he took his mask off, showing his face, making Nene cry tears of joy. "Shadow! You came back to me''. Nene called out in joy to see Shadow again, with Shadow smiling at his friend. "I told ya I'd come back someday, Nene. Now let's get you out of here and we can catch up later''. Shadow said as he started walking to Nene to free her, but suddenly a flash appeared from Shadow's cloak got everyone's attention.

Then a flash came out with something free Nene from her prison. The light disappeared to reveal a Mervamon that was different than normal. "Mervamon!''. Nene called out in surprise to see her old friend as she stood up, who nodded her, before she charged at Shadow with her sword raised to cut him. Shadow widen his eyes at Mervamon was trying to attack him, but suddenly his Fusion Loader glowed, before Beelzemon came out, stopping Mervamon from attack and holding her arm to keep her sword from being attacking Shadow. Mervamon's eyes widen at seeing Beelzemon, before she smiled brightly. "Beelzemon!''. Mervamon called out in joy as she let go of her sword, before she bear hugged Beelzemon, making Beelzemon smile at seeing Mervamon again. "Hey, Mervamon, Long time no see''. Beelzemon said to his old friend as he hugged Mervamon, who snuggled Beelzemon happily.

"Oh, am I interrupting''. Everyone heard the mad man's voice, getting everyone to turn to see the mad man with his son next to him, getting everyone on guard as they stood in front of Nene, protecting her from the mad man and his son. "I'm here for you, my sweet heart''. The mad man's son called out to Nene, getting her to hide behind Shadow, who got his Fusion Loader out. "We'll be taking Miss Nene and her Fusion Loader back now''. The mad man said as he held up his left hand and clicked his fingers, just as the wall behind him was destroyed as a big giant Dog machine was show, getting everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at the giant Dog in shock at something like this being created, but the giant dog looked at the Mad man and his son, before a beam shot from his eyes, getting the two inside the machine where they would be safe. "Nene, here''. Shadow said to his old friend as he held Nene's Fusion Loader out for her, getting Nene to look at the Fusion Loader, before she took her Fusion Loader. "Nene''. Sparrowmon's voice was heard from Nene's Fusion Loader, getting Nene to look to see Sparrowmon's face appearing on the screen. "Sparrowmon!''. Nene called out in surprise at seeing her old friend again after a year. "Alright guys. Let's do this!''. Shadow called out as he raised his Fusion Loader, with all the other hunters doing the same. "Right!''. Nene, Ruri and Alleria called out as their Fusion Loaders activated.

"Grimdramon!''. Shadow called out his partner's name. "Yeah!''. Grimdramon called out to his partner. "Beelzemon!''. Shadow called out his second Digimon's name. "You got it!''. Beelzemon called out to his General. "Digifuse!''. Shadow called out as he thruster his right hand out that had his Fusion Loader activated. "Grimdramon / Beelzemon Digifuse!''. Grimdramon and Beelzemon called out as they fused together to form BeelzGrimdramon. "BeelzGrimdramon!''. BeelzGrimdramon called out as he showed his fused self, roaring as he appeared. "DarkWindDramon! Kuzuhamon! Digifuse!''. Ruri called out as she raised her Fusion Loader in her left hand, with it activating. "DarkWindDramon/ Kuzuhamon Digifuse!''. The two Digimon called out as they fused together to form a new Digimon. It was a human Digimon that looks like Kuzuhamon, only it was White instead of purple, has DarkWindDramon's wings, claws now, a Tail like DarkWindDramon's tail and finally fangs as well. "Digifusion! Fusion up! DarkWindDramon!''. The Fusion up DarkWindDramon called out as she twirled her staff. "Mervamon! Sparrowmon! Digifuse!''. Nene called out her two Digimon's names as her Fusion Loader activated, with her two Digimon Digifusing. "JetMervamon!''. The newly fused JetMervamon called out her name to the heavens.

ShadowJackelmon Wrap Digivole to…Nephthymon!

"Nephthymon! Sorcermon! Digifuse!''. Alleria called out as she held her Fusion Loader up. "Nephthymon/ Sorcermon Digifuse!''. Both Alleria's Digimon called out as they Digifused to form another form of Nephthymon, only she was wearing Sorcermon's hat, cap, Sorcermon's staff in her right hand and finally small part of Nephtymon's hair changed to Sorcermon's hair color. "Digifuse! Fusion up! Nephthymon!''. The Fusion up Nephthymon called out to the heavens. All the Fused Digimon stood in front of the giant Machine Dog, who charged towards them. "Allow me to stop this puppy! Pyramid Illusion!''. Nephthymon called out as she held her staff out, which fired a blast towards the charging machine dog, trapping it in an ice cage, with the Machine Dog trying to break free. "Most impressive! Now it's my turn!''. JetMervamon called out as she took flight towards the giant Machine Dog.

"Heartbreak Shot!''. JetMervamon called out as she fired a pink blast, striking the Machine Dog and sending it and slam it into the cage, this time with icicle spears falling from the dog, stabbing into the dog and keeping it at place. "Real Impressive. Now it's my turn! Dark Wind Piercer!''. The Fusion up DarkWindDramon called out as she twired her staff, before thrusting it forward with the wind creating wind spears that went and pierced past the Machine Dog, damaging it more, with the Mad Man and his son flying out in an emergence Jet to fly away from the battle. "You can run, but you can't hide! Death Breath!''. BeelzGrimdramon called out as he fired his cannon, while unleashing a dark breath attack from his mouth, with his two attacks combining into one to form a pitch-black energy blast. The Blast went straight through the giant machine Dog, and past the walls of the bass, with the machine Dog exploding from the attack, showing that the Hunters and the Digimon are the winners. "Victory is ours''. Shadow said to his friends as he looked at them, who cheered with all the fused Digimon separating, with Sparrowmon, Sorcerimon, Kuzuhamon and Grimdramon going back into the Fusion Loaders, while the others stayed out.

ShadowJackelmon and DarkWindDramon high fived, while Mervamon was hugging Beelzemon happily, who was a little started at how Mervamon was acting. "Grimdramon! It's been so long!''. Sparrowmon called out to Grimdramon from Nene's Fusion Loader, getting Grimdramon to chuckle at Sparrowmon. "Nice to see you as well, Sparrowmon. I see you haven't changed a bit''. Grimdramon said to his old friend, glad to see Sparrowmon after so long as well. "ShadowJackelmon/ DarkWindDramon''. Ruri and Alleria called out as they held their Fusion Loaders out, with the two Digimon of Darkness turning into flashes that went the two girls Fusion Loaders. "You two Beelzemon. You're gonna need your strength''. Shadow called out to the last Digimon that was out, who was still being hugged by Mervamon. "Okay''. Beelzemon said to his Hunter, before Mervamon's face got closer to his, before they two turned into flashes that went into Shadow's Fusion Loader, making him sweet drop. "I'll give Mervamon when she's done hugging Beelzemon, Nene''. Shadow said to Nene as he turned to look at her with his eyes closed, getting Nene so giggle.

"Let's go now. Anyway, it's late. Mind if you spend the night at our place, Nene''. Shadow asked his old friend if she was alright if she spends the night at his place, getting Nene to look surprised, before she nodded to Shadow. "Alright. I don't mind''. Nene said to Shadow with a smile, getting Shadow to sigh in relief. "Oh, goody. We'll have a visitor from the outside world''. Ruri said with a smirk on his face as she placed her hands on her hips. "She's a friend of Shadow, so that means she's a friend of ours''. Alleria said to Ruri, telling her that Nene is no outsider. Shadow then picked Nene up in a bride style again, making Nene blush, but giggle and making the two girls smirk. Shadow, Ruri and Alleria took off running, running out of the destroyed bass and heading towards a meeting point they made with their team to pick them up.


(30 minutes later)

Shadow, Ruri and Alleria have had fun running in the ice cold island for 30 minutes now with Nene still in Shadow's arms. They would have flown, but they decided to get some exercise while they're here. Shadow used his powers of Fire to keep Nene warm in his arms so that she wouldn't freeze to death. During their time of running, Shadow and Nene have been talking to each to catch up on what they've been doing this past year. Shadow was glad to hear that Nene became a idol at Hong Kong, while Nene was happy to hear that Shadow found his family and married Kari.

"Wow, you've sure had a busy and happy time in that other world''. Nene said in amazement at how Shadow has had a big adventure since she last saw him. "Same to you. An idol that sings and helps make movies. I'm impressed''. Shadow said to Nene with an impressed look on his face, impressed with how Nene has lived her life. "Wow, they sure get along well''. Alleria said to Ruri as both her and Ruri are surprised at seeing Shadow and Nene interact. "You said it''. Ruri said to her new little sister, surprised as well. However, suddenly Shadow stopped running, getting the girls to stop and look at him. "Brother. What's wrong''. Ruri asked in concern for her brother, who just handed Nene to her, confusing both girls. "I sense something close to hear. Take Nene and go''. Shadow said to the girls as he took off to search for something that he sensed, making the girls look at each other in confusion, before they took off to find the ship that will take them home.


(With Nene and the others after a while)

The Girls have been running to get to where the recognize point is; only their path was blocked by a Karatenmon and a Kabukimon. Ruri took the Karatenmon and Alleria took the Kabukimon, while Nene stayed to watch.

"Digifuse! DarkWindDramon! Diatrymon!''. Ruri called out as she used her Fusion Loader to fuse her two Digimon, with the two Digimon forming into a bird like Diatrymon, only pure white, fangs in her mouth, Dragon Wings replacing the wings on the arms and a long tail from DarkWindDramon with blue eyes. "Digifusion! Fusion up, DarkWindDramon!''. The Fusion up DarkWindDramon called out as she took flight into the air, with Karatemon following her. "Wind Roar!''. The Fusion up DarkWindDramon called out as she turned around and unleashed a Roar of Wind from her mouth at the approaching Karatenmon.

"Feather Flare!''. Karatenmon called out as he fired feathers from her wings, but the feathers were blown away, making Karatenmon sweet drop, before he was hit from DarkWindDramon's attack, making Karatenmon call out in pain, before a purple circle appeared around him, signaling his capture and disappearing, before reappearing in some big blue, holographic cube. "Capture complete!''. Ruri called out in joy as her fused Digimon turned into two flashes that went into her Fusion Loader.

"Digifuse! ShadowJackelmon! Mervamon! Digifuse!''. Alleria called out as she used her Fusion Loader to fuse her two Digimon, forming into a different version of a Mervamon, only skin now black like ShadowJackelmon's skin, wings on her back and a tail. "Digifusion! Fusion up! ShadowJackelmon! Shadow Strike Dive!''. The Fusion of the two Digimon called out as she took flight, before she began to dive down to attack Kabukimon with her sword.

"Renjishi!''. Kabukimon called out as he fired a storm of razor-sharp blossoms from its head, but they were all cut down by the Fusion ShadowJackelmon's sword, before the Kabukimon was sliced by the stomach, with a purple circle appearing as he disappeared reappearing in some big blue, holographic cube above Alleria's Fusion Loader. "Capture complete!''. Alleria called out as the cube disappeared and the Fusion Digimon went into her Fusion Loader, before Alleria put her Fusion Loader in her pockets.

Alleria and Ruri then walked up to Nene, who watched with an impressed look. "Real impressive, you two''. Nene said to the two girls with a smile, along with having her arms wrapped around herself from feeling cold. "Thanks''. Ruri and Alleria said to Nene with a smile, liking Nene very much. However, the girls heard someone approaching, getting them to turn to see Shadow running up to them with a pack of Wolfs chasing him. "Wolfs!''. All three girls called out as they started running from the pack of wolfs, with Shadow catching up with them. "Why are we running? Can't we just fight those dogs''. Ruri asked her brother with narrowed eyes at how they were running instead of fighting. "They're just animals that are doing what their instincts are telling them. We have no business fighting a bunch of puppies''. Shadow said to his sister, telling her why they're running instead of fighting.

"Shut up and run!''. Alleria called out to her older brother and sister as they were running to an edge. "Jump over that edge, the ship is already waiting for us''. Shadow said to the group, telling them to jump over the edge, while picking Nene up bride style. "Got it!''. Alleria and Ruri called out as all the Darkness children jumped over the edge, making the wolfs stop at the edge. Shadow, Ruri and Alleria were falling, before the held their arms out and grabbed some ropes of a ship that was going past that area, with the crest symbol of Darkness on the flag and on the ship were people of Darkness and among the people were Kimberly and Takumi. "You guys made it''. Kimberly called out in joy at seeing her friends make it. "You guys are awesome, making the timing perfect''. Takumi called out to the rescue team in awe, getting them all to smile as the ship sailed back to the home of the people of Darkness and castle of Darkness where Shadow and Ruri lives.


(3 hours later)

After reaching land in the island that Shadow was staying at, Shadow and the team took Nene to the village where Shadow and the gang, along with the people of Darkness live. Shadow gave Mervamon back to Nene during the ride to that place, with Nene getting introduced to all the friends Shadow has, along with having a happy reunion with Kari, who was happy to see her best friend again, who had waiting for them outside of the castle. Soon they reached the castle, where Nene got introduced to Shadow and Ruri's grandparents, with Sparromon meeting Grimdramon and DarkWindDramon's parents, with being happy to see Gatomon and GrimSalamon again. Both girls were surprised to see their friend's grandparents, but still greeted them formally. Soon it was dinner time with Nene joining the Darkness family and soon Shadow went out to train with it only being 11: 30 with his Digimon, while Ruri, Kari and Alleria took Nene around the castle, showing her around. Nene was grateful for what the girls were doing for her, but she seemed distracted when she found out what island they were on and that they were close to a city.

Shadow and his Digimon took training seriously with Kimberly and Takumi joining as well, with DanceCatmon and DarkPoisonDramon training with Grimdramon as well, while Shadow trained with Takumi and Kimberly. Shadow's other Digimon were with Kimberly and Takumi's Digimon with Beelzemon spending some time training, before he was pulled away to spend time with Nene's Mervamon. Shadow trained in his Dragon form, his Elemental Powers, his weapons, Digimon form, armor form and finally his version of Escaflowne, while using Digifuse to try out Grimdramon's other forms as well. Even the girl with Lunamon showed up to train with them as well, with Shadow learning her name was Adriana, with even the Rider guy, who was named Paul, who just brought out a Ultimatebrachimon.

Soon training came to an end, with the Rider, Adriana, Takumi, Kimberly and their Digimon heading back to their houses, while Shadow and his Digimon went back to the castle to rest for the night with the Digimon going back in the Fusion Loader, with Beelzemon and Mervamon going back in the Fusion Loader as well. However, Shadow saw Nene outside, looking at the sky, in the garden next to the castle, getting Shadow curious. Shadow was wearing his hero clothes still, but didn't have his mask on. Shadow walked up behind Nene and put his left hand on Nene's right shoulder, getting Nene to quickly look over her shoulder in fright, but relaxed when she saw it was Shadow. "What's wrong''. Shadow asked Nene on what's bothering her, with narrowed eyes at why Nene was outside, taking his left hand off her shoulder.

Nene looked back at the stars with her hands behind her. "It's just that…Ewan and Mikey lives close here, and I'm just wondering how they're doing''. Nene said to her old friend, without looking at him, thinking about her younger brother and her crush, getting Shadow to understand. "How about we go see them ourselves right now''. Shadow said to Nene with his arms crossed, suggesting that they go see the people that Nene wishes to see again, getting Nene to look at Shadow in surprise at what he said. "You would do that, for me''. Nene said to Shadow with a surprised look, surprised that Shadow would do that for her. Nene got her answer when Shadow picked her bride style and started running off, getting Nene to smile to see her friend help her see her brother and love interest again.

Meanwhile few minutes later, in DigiQuartz, in the park, Nene's younger brother was in a net, being shocked by a girl named Airu Suzaki and her partner Digimon Opposumon. He was in the park area of the real world, thinking of his Digimon partner, and then this girl showed up, wanting Cutemon for herself. Cutemon tried to rescue Ewan, but failed and went into Ewan's Fusion Loader and was now being shocked. "Now give me Cutemon!''. Airu shouted out at Ewan with her eyes narrowed, wanting Cutemon, ignoring Ewan's cries of pain. However, a blur shot out from nowhere and cut the ropes that was holding Ewan hostage, making everyone widen their eyes. The Blur then took Ewan and jumped away from Airu and Opposumon in a safe distant.

Ewan looked up at his savior's face, making his eyes widen when he saw it was the Mervamon that fought by his sister's side a year ago in the battle against the Bagra army. "Mervamon!''. Ewan called out in surprise to see his sister's Digimon, getting a smile from Mervamon, who was holding the back of Ewan's shirt with her monster hand. "Nice to see you again, Ewan''. Mervamon said to Nene's little brother, happy to save him from that shocking Net. "Ewan!''. Nene's voice was heard from behind Ewan, getting Ewan to look over his shoulder, only for his eyes to widen to see his sister running up to him with Shadow behind Nene.

"Sis! Shadow!''. Ewan called out in surprise to see his sister and friend, thinking she was in Hong Cong and Shadow gone, with Mervamon setting Ewan on the ground. "Oh Ewan! I was so worried about you!''. Nene called out with tears going down her checks as she hugged Ewan tightly with Shadow next to her, getting a smile from Shadow and Mervamon. "Thanks sis, but I'm okay''. Ewan said to his sister, trying to get her to stop hugging him and help calm her down, getting a success as Nene stopped hugging him, but kept her hands on his shoulders.

"Ewan!''. Everyone heard a voice, getting them to turn to see Tagiru and Gumdramon running up to them, but Tagiru stopped running when he saw Nene and was speechless. "Umm, Tagiru this is my sister Nene and friend Shadow. And sis and Shadow, this is my school class mate Tagiru''. Ewan said with a nervous smile as he tried to introduce his sister and class mate to each other. But before introductions could be made, Airu started to speak. "You guys again! Why do you always get in the way of my Hunt, spoiling it and my fun!''. Airu shouted out in rage at Tagiru and the new people, getting them to look at Airu, with Shadow narrowing his eyes. "Hunt! The rules in the rule book that Mikey gave me said that you can't hunt other people's Digimon''. Tagiru said to the girl, angry at her trying to steal other people's Digimon.

What Tagiru said caught Nene and Shadow's attention. "A Rule book! Why wasn't I given one? And if what this guy says is true, this girl is a real pain in the ass''. Shadow thought to himself, angry at the girl and at not getting a rule book. "Mikey. Does this boy know where Mikey is''. Nene thought to herself, thinking that Tagiru might know where Mikey is. "I make my own rules! Your rules have nothing to do with me!''. Airu called out to Tagiru with a smirk, not giving a damn about the rules and brining out her Fusion Loader in her right hand. "Opossumon! Candlemon! Digifuse!''. Airu called out as her Pink Fusion Loader activated, with Opossumon's balloon now giant and on fire after the Digifuse. "AAAAHHHH! / What the hell is wrong with this girl''. Everyone and Shadow said in response at what is happening with Shadow thinking that this girl is crazy. "Shadow! Digifuse me with Giromon!''. Grimdramon called out to his partner from the Fusion Loader, getting a nod from Shadow as he brought out his Fusion Loader in his right hand.

"Grimdramon! / Yeah/ Giromon! / You got it/ Digifuse!''. Shadow called out as he activated his Fusion Loader, fusing his two Digimon together with the combined form appearing in front of Shadow. The combined Digimon turned out to be Grimdramon, only he has Giromon's horns on the sides of his head, Giromon's chainsaw in his right hand and Giromon's bomb in his left. "Digifuse! Fusion up! Grimdramon! Darkness Chain Saw!''. The Fusion Grimdramon called out as his chainsaw activated with Grimdramon swiping it in the air, firing Black Slash energy attacks at the fiery balloon, causing an explosion and smoke. Soon after a few seconds, the smoke disappeared to reveal Shadow, Nene, Tagiru, Ewan and the Digimon gone. "They ran away!''. Airu called out in rage, with Opossumon back to normal, sighing at her partner's rage.

However, they heard something down in front of them, getting the two girls to look down, only to pale when they saw Giromon's bomb, only with the words 'siynara suckers' on the bomb. "Aww…''. Airu said slowly in fear as the bomb would go off soon. "Crude''. Oppossumon finished for her partner, just as the bomb went off, making another explosion. Soon the explosion died down, revealing Airu and Oppossumon scorched, with Airu's clothes burned and hair an afro now, with Oppossumon's balloons now destroyed. Both girls were silent for a few seconds, before they went off. "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!". Both girls shouted out in rage at what has happened to them, swearing to get revenge on the Darkness users for doing this to them.

At Ewan and Nene's house, everyone was in the living room, taking deep breaths from what happened with the Digimon back in the Fusion Loaders. "That girl is the most craziest girl I've ever met''. Shadow said to the group, standing up while taking breaths with his hands hanging at the sides. "I second that''. Nene said to her old friend, taking breaths as she was on her knees. Ewan and Tagiru were hanging on the couch, drained of energy, before Ewan got up from the couch and looked at his sister. "Sis, how are you even here? I thought you were in Hong Kong''. Ewan said to his sister, wondering why his sister was here when he last heard she was in Hong Kong.

Nene looked at her brother with a smile. "Well, we might want to sit down. It'll take some time''. Nene said to her brother, okay with telling Ewan what happened and how she's here. "I'll make some tea''. Shadow said as he went to the kitchen and started making tea for everyone. Soon after an hour of explaining what happened with everyone on the couch, Tagiru and Ewan were looking at Shadow and Nene in shock. "That really happened''. Tagiru said in shock at how Nene was kidnapped, Shadow saved her and how Shadow was a Hunter and an old friend of Nene. "Yup, and Shadow was my knight of Dark shining armor''. Nene said with a giggle at what she said, getting a smile from Shadow as he took a sip of his tea. "I see. Thank you for saving my sister, Shadow''. Ewan said in gratitude as he bowed his head to Shadow, grateful for him saving his sister.

"No problem''. Shadow said to Ewan with a smile, while looking at Ewan, trying to find out what kind of person he is after a whole year. Shadow then did a small yawn, the day catching up to him. "But let's save the talking for tomorrow, I'm tired''. Shadow said to the group as he crossed his hands and closed his eyes, while leaning against the couch. Soon the others did the same, with Nene and Ewan heading to their rooms, with Tagiru taking the couch as well. Ewan took Nene to her old room, before he headed for his room to rest for the night.


(The Next Day)

Mikey was waiting at school for Ewan and Tagiru, having received a massage from Ewan to meet up with them, telling him how someone tried to kidnap Cutemon from him, but managed to escape from them. Mikey was wearing his usual red and white shirt, brown shorts, red shoes and his goggles on his head. He was waiting at the front with his arms crossed, with it now being 12:00 clock, with it being midday. "Ahhh, just what is taking them so long''. Shoutmon shouted out from Mikey's Fusion Loader, getting a little impatient. "As long as it takes''. Mikey said to his partner Digimon, waiting with a patient face. "Mikey!''. A voice called out from Mikey's right, getting him to look to see what called out to him, only for his eyes to widen in surprise to see that it was someone he wasn't expecting.

The person that called to him was Nene, who was smiling happily as she ran towards him with tears in her eyes. "Nene…''. Mikey whispered to himself in shock to see the girl he has devoted feelings for, thinking she was in Hong Kong. Nene soon reached Mikey and gave him a big hug with her arms around Mikey's neck, making Mikey blush bright red from having Nene hug him and feeling Nene's breasts against his chest. "Mikey…I've missed you''. Nene said to the boy she loves with a smile, eyes closed with tears going down with her head on Mikey's shoulder. Mikey had widen eyes at Nene's actions. He didn't know it a year ago, but during his time with Nene in the Digital World, he fell in love with her. He didn't know his feelings, till Nene was gone from his life, but now she was back. Mikey then put his hands around Nene and hugged her back. "I missed you two, Nene''. Mikey said to Nene happily as he closed his eyes, happy to see Nene again.

"If you two are done having a moment, we got something to discus''. Mikey heard a voice, getting him to look to see Ewan, Tagiru and Gumdramon walking towards him and Nene, with Shadow and Grimdramon next to them, making Mikey's eyes widen at seeing his old friends again. Nene and Miley blushed bright red at having an audience, before they jumped away, both not looking at each other with their checks red.

The morning went well for Nene, Shadow, Tagiru and Ewan, with all of them having a great breakfast together with their partner Digimon joining, with Grimdramon, Gumdramon, Cutemon and Sparromon enjoying breakfast with their partners, with Gumdramon having been watching Grimdramon the whole time, thinking he looked awesome and heard about him, wanting to be as strong like Grimdramon. After that, Shadow quickly went home to get changed, while the others wearied another set of the same outfit, before Shadow came back and joined them. After that, they went too met up with Mikey with the Digimon going back in the Fusion Loaders, while Nene was excited, and Shadow wanting to see how the General of the Fusion Fighters is doing. "Ahahaha! Mikey's face is so red, I can't believe it''. Tagiru called out as he laughed out loud from seeing his role molder's face like that. "Just why did it have to be with my sis''. Ewan said to himself as he sighed, can't believing that his sister hugged Mikey like that. "Long time no see, Mikey''. Shadow said to the general of the Fusion Fighters with a wave, getting a smile from Mikey as he waved back at Shadow.

Soon everyone was at the rooftop of the building, talking about Airu and her Digimon, with Nene still hugging Mikey's arm, with Shadow looking over the edge to look at a flower field, which he found beautiful. Shadow listen to the conversation, but didn't get involved in it, till he heard that Cutemon was gone, making him widen his eyes. "Use your Fusion Loader's tracking system to track that little guy''. Shadow said to Ewan as he looked at him, now focused on what needs to be done, making Ewan nod to Shadow as he held his Fusion Loader out as its map system activated, with five lights together on the map, with another light moving away from the lights. "I found him! Follow me!''. Ewan called out to the group, getting them to nod to him as he ran down the school, with the others following him around the city to the park, seeing Cutemon tied up to a big balloon, with the same girl and Digimon from last night. "Cutemon!''. Ewan shouted out the pink Digimon's name, getting the girl and her Digimon to look at the approaching group, with the girl picking up the big balloon.

"Cutemon is mine now, slowpokes''. Airu said to the group with a smirk as she and her partner ran off. "Hold it!''. Tagiru called out as he and the others ran after Airu to get Cutemon back. "This banshee is crazy for doing something as stupid as this! Wait till I get my claws on her!''. Shadow called out as he and the others continued to chase after Airu, however balloons then exploded in front of them all, getting them to stop to see the two boys that Shadow saw before standing in front of them with their partner Digimon with them. The Silver hair boy was about to speak, when Shadow shot out from the group, back flipping, before he jumped over the two boys and their Digimon, making them watch in surprise as Shadow landed on the ground and chased after Airu. "I'll get Cutemon back, you guys handle these dummies''. Shadow called out to his friends as he chased after, before he held out his Fusion Loader in his right hand.

"Reload! Fangmon!''. Shadow called out as his Fusion Loader activated, before a light came out next to Shadow as he kept running, before the light revealed to be Fangmon. "Hop on!''. Fangmon said to his General as he ran, getting Shadow to nod to him as he jumped on Fangmon's back, with the Digimon going faster than he was. Soon Fangmon made it to the park, where Cutemon was set to the ground with Airu and Opossumon in front of her. "Snipe Steal!''. Fangmon called out his attack as he swiped at the balloon with his claws, making it pop as he went past it, with Shadow picking up Cutemon as his Digimon destroyed the balloon. Fangmon then stopped a little away from Airu and Opossumon, who were surprised at seeing Fangmon. "Scary and ugly! What a stupid Digimon''. Airu called out in disgust at seeing Fangmon, thinking he was stupid. "Hey! That's my friend your talking to''. Shadow shouted out at Airu, before he freed Cutemon from the ropes.

"You okay, Cutemon''. Shadow asked Cutemon if he was okay, which Cutemon nodded to him with a smile, getting Shadow to smile. "You'll regret getting in the way of my Hunt! Opossumon! Digivole!''. Airu called out in rage as she activated her Fusion with a Data stream appearing like how Grimdramon super Digivoles.

Opossumon Digivole to…Cho-Hakkaimon!

In front of Fangmon was now some kind of big women in a big costume with a big weapon, making Shadow and Fangmon sweet drop at what they were seeing, while Cutemon just screamed in fright. "Wow, how scary! But for you, gross Cute''. Airu said to her partner, with Cho-Hakkaimon charging at Fangmon, only for a big purple Dragon with no wings to head but her in the head, making both of them dizzy. "Ouch! Man her head is as hard as a rock''. The purple Dragon Digimon said as Cho-Hakkaimon got rid of her dizziness, before she pushed the Dragon away. "Hey, Shadow!''. Shadow heard Tagiru's voice, getting Shadow to turn to see Tagiru and Ewan running up to him. "Hey, where's Mikey and Nene?''. Shadow asked the two on where Mikey and Nene are. "They're handling the other guys, while we save Cutemon''. Ewan said to Shadow, telling him what happened to Mikey and Nene, just as everyone looked at Cho-Hakkaimon, who looked angry.


(With Mikey and Nene)

Mikey, Nene, OmniShoutmon and JetMervamon stood in front of the two young man called Ryouma and Ren, with their partner Astamon and Dracmon. Nene and Mikey quickly Digivolved and Digifuse their partner Digimon to stand a chance against the two Hunters and their Digimon. "This is quite interesting. Two Legendary heroes''. Ryouma said with interest at how he and Ren are facing two Legendary Heroes. "Astamon! Attack!''. Ryouma called out for his partner to attack, getting a nod from him."Hellfire!''. Astamon called out as he fired his gun at JetMervamon and OmniShoutmon, who jumped out of the way. "Fiery Fastball!''. OmniShoutmon called out as his fists were set on fire, before he threw them at Astamon, who jumped back to dodge the attack.

"Undead Fang!''. Dracmon called out as he jumped towards JetMervamon, only to use her sword to knock him back to the ground. "Heartbreak Shot!''. JetMervamon called out as she fired a pink blast, which Dracmon jumped back from, dogging the attack. "This is too hard. Let's just get serious''. Ren said to Ryouma, tired of all this hard fighting, which they are having trouble with. "Very well then''. Ryouma said as he raised his green Fusion Loader in his right hand, ready to get serious. However a voice called out from nowhere. "Look out!''. A voice called out as a blur pushed Nene to the ground, just as a blast went past Nene and hit a tree, getting all the Hunters to widen their eyes in surprise at the sudden attack.

Nene looked at who saved her life, only for her to widen her eyes when she saw it was a Lunamon. "A Lunamon!''. Nene called out in surprise to see the Moon Digimon, who looked at Nene with a worried look. "Are you alright. Anything that hurts''. Lunamon asked Nene with a concerned look on her face for the idol, which Nene smiled at her. "No, I'm okay now. Thank you''. Nene said to her friend with a smile, getting Lunamon to smile at her, before Lunamon looked at OmniShoutmon and waved at him, getting OmniShoutmon confused, but before he could speak, darkness appeared under him, Mikey, Ryouma, Rin, Astamon, Dracmon and JetMervamon, before a cage appeared over them, trapping them. "Everyone''. Nene said in surprise to see the cage as she got up and ran over to the cage, hands on the bars as she looked at Mikey, who was in front of her in the cage, with the others trying to escape.

"What imbeciles to fall for such a simple trap''. Everyone heard a voice, getting them to turn to see two 15-year-old boys wearing black clothes, with one wearing a long black jacket and long black pants, while the other had no jacket, with both boys having black shaggy hair and green and behind them was a Mephitomon and GigaDramon, with both boys having a skull mark on their checks. "Those Marks. They must be members of the Skull Warriors gang in Digiquartz''. Ren called out in surprise at seeing the two boys, getting Nene and Mikey's attention. "What's this Skull Warriors?''. Mikey asked the two on what this Skull Warriors group is, having no idea about them. "They're a group of Hunters that are obsessed with having all Digimon, steeling them from Hunters and going so far as to destroy their Fusion Loaders''. Ryouma said to Mikey without looking at him, glaring at the two boys in hatred, making Nene and Mikey widen their eyes.

"What the silver hair boy said was true. We steel Digimon from Hunters and destroy their Fusion Loaders. My name is Scott''. The one with the jacket said to the group with eyes of evil as he raised his black Fusion Loader. "And I'm Mephiles and your next on our list''. The boy without a jacket said as he raised his Black Fusion Loader as he and his friend started walking to the cage, until Nene got in front of them, blocking them from advancing to the trap hunters and Digimon. "I won't let you steel Mervamon from me, or Shoutmon from Mikey!''. Nene called out to the two Hunters with narrowed eyes, refusing to let these Hunters steel the Digimon she considers friends. "What are we? Chopped liver!''. Ren called out to Nene, thinking it was rude that she didn't mention him or Ryouma. The two Hunters smirked at Nene. "What can you do? You don't have any Digimon to back you up now''. Scott said to Nene with a smirk, making her useless to stop him, and from him taking her as his slave, making Nene grant her teeth.

"Wrong! She has me''. Lunamon called out as she jumped in front of Nene with her arms spread out to protect Nene, getting Nene to look at Lunamon in surprise. "Please, let me fight with you and I promise to not let anything happen to you''. Lunamon said to Nene as she looked at Nene over her shoulder, begging her to let her fight by her side. Nene still looked surprise, before she nodded at Lunamon with a smile, getting Lunamon to smile back at her as Lunamon look at the two Hunters, with their Digimon right behind them, easily out sizing her, but she wouldn't give up.


(With Shadow)

Shadow, Fangmon, Cutemon watched as Tagiru talked some sense into Ewan as ArresterDramon tried to hold off Cho-Hakkaimon, with Shadow seeing a little Davis in Tagiru, making Shadow miss his good friend back home. "His more energetic then Davis, but they're so much alike''. Shadow thought to himself in with a smile as he watched Tagiru, before he looked at the battle. "Fangmon. If you would be so kind''. Shadow said to his old friend, getting him to smirk as he finally got the ok to attack. "It will be my pleasure! Blast Coffin!''. Fangmon called out as he fired a blast from his mouth, striking Cho-Hakkaimon and slamming her to a tree, almost knocking her out.

"Cho-Hakkaimon!''. Airu called out her partner's name in concern as she started to run over to Cho-Hakkaimon, but then Tagiru notice something heading towards Airu's back without her noticing. "Look out!''. Tagiru called out as he ran towards Airu, before he jumped to her, pushing her to the ground as a blast went past her and into a swing playground area, destroying it. Fangmon also sensed something, getting him to turn left to see a blast heading for him, but Ewan was in the way of the blast. "Look out!''. Fangmon tried to call out to Ewan, but it was too late as the blast was about to hit him, but something appeared in front of Ewan, protecting him from the blast. "Ewan. I'm back! I've been waiting for this day for a long time! The day where I get to see you again!''. A voice was heard as the form revealed to be a Damemon, who is smiling at Ewan. Both Ewan and Damemon stared at each other, with tears starting to appear in their eyes.

"Damemon''. Ewan said with tears in his eyes from seeing his partner again after so long, thinking he would never see Damemon again. "I decided that when I came back to life, it'll be at this spot. But to do that you had to guide me here with a strong heart. A Strong heart that would be willing to fight alone and surrounded by friends. You've gotten stronger Ewan!''. Damemon said to his partner with tears in his eyes at how his partner has grown up. "Yeah…it's because everyone…Because my friends helped me''. Ewan said to his partner with a smile, with Shadow watching the happy reunion of old friends, finding it touching.

"Isn't that sweet''. Everyone heard a voice, getting them to turn around to see two 15-year-old boys with pale skin, crimson spiky hair, wearing black long clothes, with jackets and long pants and a skull mark on their check, with a Wizardmon and SkullMeramon next to them, with the only different is the blue and red eyes. "Nice reunion, but too bad we'll have to ruin by stealing your Digimon''. The one with Blue Eyes said with an evil smirk on his face. "So make it easy by handing your Digimon over to us''. The one with red eyes said with an evil smirk on his face, getting everyone to tense up, with Tagiru getting off a blushing Airu, who went to her partner. "Ewan! Digivole me!''. Damemon said to his partner, getting Ewan to look at him. "I was reborn as Damemon, so I can Digivole to Tsuwamon''. Damemon said to his partner, explaining how he can Digivole, getting Ewan to understand.

"Alright! Damemon! Digivole!''. Ewan called out as he swing his Fusion Loader in his right hand with Digital Energy around his hand.

Damemon Digivole to…Tsuwamon!

A big golden Ninja guy stood in Damemon's place, with ArresterDramon standing by his side, with Wizardmon and SkullMeramon glaring at them. However, Shadow decided to take action. "Fangmon! / What up/ Tankmon! / Ready! / Digifuse!''. Shadow called out as he held his Fusion Loader out, with Fangmon glowing, before he gained a cannon on his head, blasters hanging on the sides and green armor around his body in his shape. "Cannon Fangmon! Hyper Coffin!''. Cannon Fangmon called out as he fired a blast from his cannon on his head, while unleashing a black blast from his mouth, with the two attacks combining into one, striking the ground in front of the two enemy Digimon, dealing damage and purple electricity surrounding them, keeping them from moving.

"Now guys, finish them!" Shadow shouted to the stunned Ewan and Tagiru, getting them to nod at him as they held their Fusion Loaders out. "Prism Garret! / Mantis Dance!''. ArresterDramon and Tsuwamon called out as Arresterdramon unleashed many energy Dragons out on SkullMeramon, dealing damage which sent him into the Blue eyed guy's Fusion Loader, while Tsuwamon spin around very fast with weapons in hand, dealing damage to Wizardmon, sending him into the Red eyed guy's Fusion Loader.

Both thieves ran off in fear at seeing their Digimon being defeated. Shadow then looked at Ewan and Tagiru. "I'm going back to check on Mikey and Nene! Catch up as soon as you guys can''. Shadow called out to Tagiru and Ewan, before Fangmon took off to where Nene and Mikey are, leaving the two boys alone with Airu leaving with her Digimon in her Fusion Loader, with Cutemon still in Shadow's arms.


(Back with Nene and Mikey)

Lunamon was sent to the ground with many injures all over her body, having been trying to fight against GigaDramon and Mephitomon, but has been failing against the two larger Digimon. Nene was watching in fear for the little Digimon, with OmniShoutmon, Mikey and JetMervamon doing the same, while the others focused on getting a way out of the cage, with the two Digimon Hunters laughing as they watched the show of their Digimon defeating Lunamon. "I-i-I won't give up! Luna Claw!''. Lunamon called out as she stood on her feet, before she charged at Mephitomon, who just smacked her away.

Lunamon got sent flying, but Nene cached the little Digimon in her hands and held her carefully, with Lunamon trying to get out of Nene's hands. "Why. Why are you fighting so hard for us''. Nene asked Lunamon on why she was fighting so hard for them with tears in her eyes. "Because compared to what you and Shoutmon did for me in the Digital World, saving me from Olegmon and giving me a new home when my zone was destroyed, this is nothing''. Lunamon called out as she explained her reasons, making Nene, Mikey, JetMervamon and OmniShoutmon widen their eyes. "You're…that Lunamon!''. OmiShoutmon called out in shock to see the Lunamon he liked for a long time, but could never tell her.

Nene still had widen eyes, but she kept her arms around Lunamon. "The reason on how we saved you from Olegmon was because we worked together. You can't do this alone, let me help you, Lunamon''. Nene said to the little digimon, having liked her since she first met Lunamon at the Ninja zone, but never got the chance to become friends. Lunamon looked at Nene, before she smiled. "Alright, your right. Shoutmon told me that he succeeds because he had friends helping him. Since your helping me, that makes you my friend, right Nene''. Lunamon said to the idol of Hong Kong with a smile, which Nene returned with her own smile.

"Yeah, we're friends now''. Nene said to Lunamon with a smile on her face, just as a golden ring appeared around her right wrist with one appearing around Lunamon's right wrist, getting the girls attention. "That light. Nene, use that light to Digivole Lunamon!''. Mikey shouted out to his friend, having seen that ring whenever Tagiru evolves Gumdramon to ArresterDramon, getting Nene to widen her eyes. "Digivole…alright!''. Nene said with her eyes widen as Lunamon jumped out of her hands.

(We are Xros Heart music)

Nene held her Fusion Loader in front of her with her right hand, before she used it to use its energy to create a crescent moon shape energy with her Fusion Loader, with her hair being blown by the wind. "Lunamon! Digivole!''. Nene called out her friend's name with her eyes open.

"Lunamon Digivole to…!''. Lunamon called out with her eyes closed with her hands out as the energy went to her, making her skin disappeared as she gained more power. Her body grew bigger, but stayed skinny, with her growing legs that had high heels and some crescent moon shape things on her feet, her skin stayed white, she grew longer hands which was like human hands with two sides weapon appearing his her hands, a pink scarf appearing around her neck, her top now had white or silver armor and a quill-like protuberances on her back. Her face now had a helmet that showed her blue eyes, with her mouth covered. The Digimon had her eyes closed, before they opened as she flew into the air and spin her Crescent Hook in her arms, before she held it with her right with her left held out. "Dianamon!''. The newly evolved Digimon called Dianamon called out her name to the heavens with a moon behind her.

Dinamon appeared in the sky above the GigaDramon and Mephitomon, who looked at her in amazement, with Mikey, Nene, JetMervamon, Ryouma, Rin, Dracmon, Astamon and especially OmniShoutmon watching in awe. "She's…beautiful''. OmniShoutmon whispered to himself in shock at how beautiful Dinamon looks at the moment. Dinamon must have heard him because she looked over her left shoulder and gave him a wink, making him blush. "Goodnight moon!''. Dinamon called out as she twirled around with a moon behind her, before blue energy shot out of her crescent moon shape things on her leg, striking the two Digimon, with them falling asleep on the ground. "Arrow of Artemis!''. Dinamon called out as she pulls a faintly sparkling arrow of ice from the quill-like protuberances on its back, then fires it at the ground between the two sleeping Digimon, with the arrow exploding in energy, sending the two Digimon flying with them turning into flashes that went into the skull guy's Fusion Loaders.

The two ran away in fear from Dinamon as the cage over the trapped humans and Digimon disappeared, allowing them freedom. Dinamon started to close her eyes, before she began to fall from the sky, her injures finally getting to her, making OmniShoutmon gasp as he quickly ran and caught Dinamon in bride style, getting Dinamon to look at OmniShoutmon. "I've…missed you''. Dinamon said to the Digimon she admires and loves, getting OmniShoutmon to smile as both of them were covered in energy, before it disappeared to reveal Lunamon and Shoutmon in the two Digimon's places. "I've missed you too, but you should rest''. Shoutmon said to Lunamon in concern for her wellbeing, getting Lunamon to nod to Shoutmon as she turned into a flash that went into Nene's Fusion Loader, who is glad to see her new friend closer to her, with JetMervamon turning into two flashes and went into Nene's Fusion Loader as well. Shoutmon turned into a flash and went back into Mikey's Fusion Loader, who saw that Ryouma and Rin are gone with their Digimon.

Mikey smiled as he went up towards Nene, who looked at Mikey with a smile. "Nene. That was incredible''. Mikey said to Nene with a smile and checks red, thinking she was incredible out there, making Nene blush at what Mikey said to her. However, they both heard something land behind them, getting them to turn to see Shadow jump off Fangmon, before Fangmon went back into Shadow's Fusion Loader, who was holding Cutemon. Tagiru and Ewan also came out running from the park as well, with both of them breathing very deeply. "Here's your Digimon, Mikey''. Shadow said to Mikey as he held Cutemon out to Mikey, who was smiling at Shadow, having liked him very much. "Thanks''. Mikey said to Shadow with a smile as he held out his Fusion Loader for Cutemon, who turned into a flash as he entered the Fusion Loader.

"Shadow. I'm ready to head back to Hong Kong now''. Nene said to Shadow, ready to head back to Hong Kong, making everyone look at her, with Shadow nodding her head. "But sis. Do you have to go so soon''. Ewan asked his sister on why she needs to go now, wanting her to stay a little longer, which Nene nodded with a smile. "I'm sure. Besides, we'll meet again someday, I'm sure''. Nene said to her brother with a smile, wishing she could spend more time, but know she had to leave now. Ewan still looked sad, but nodded to Nene, getting her to smile. Shadow then walked up to Nene, who held up a finger to wait, before she walked up to Mikey, getting Shadow to smile at seeing Nene wanting to tell Mikey something. "Before I go, I'm gonna do something I should have done a long time ago''. Nene said to herself, getting everyone confused. Nene then put her hands on Mikey's checks and then…

Kissed Mikey on the lips.

Everyone's eyes widen in shock at what they were seeing, while Mikey's checks were red. The kiss was short, but sweet as Nene pulled away with her checks red. "I didn't have the courage to do that last time we saw each other, but now I have the guts to tell you how I feel Mikey, and I hope you return my feelings next time we met''. Nene said to her crush with a smile, before she took her hands off Mikey's checks and walked up to Shadow, who picked her up bride style, before he spread his wings and shot out into the sky, leaving team Fusion Fighters alone, who were shocked at what happened, while Mikey continued to think about how Nene's lips tasted like.


(With Shadow and Nene)

Shadow landed on the ground in a forest outside of Hong Kong, having gone super fast to get her back to Hong Kong without trouble. "You sure you'll be fine by yourself from now on''. Shadow asked his old friend as he set Nene down on her feet, who nodded with a smile. "I will. Thank you for everything, Shadow''. Nene said to her old friend with a smile, glad to have spent time with Mikey, her brother and Shadow, getting Shadow to smile at Nene. "No problem Nene. I'll see ya later and call if you need anything''. Shadow said to Nene with a smile as he spread his wings and took off into the sky, with Nene waving at her flying friend.

Soon Shadow made it back to the castle in the forest where his family is living, having flied for 20 minutes. Shadow then landed in the garden area of the castle, having wanted to look at a few flowers. Shadow kneed down as he looked the black flowers, seeing them very as very beautiful flowers. Soon Shadow picked one from the ground and took a sniff, loving the smell of the flower. However, Shadow felt a hand on his shoulder, getting him to look up to see Kari was the cause. "Welcome back, honey''. Kari said to her husband with a smile, getting a smile from Shadow as he stood up and placed the flower in her hair, making Kari blush a little. "Hi honey, I'm home''. Shadow said to his wife with a smile, before he kissed Kari on the lips, which Kari returned as she wrapped her arms around Shadow's neck, with Shadow wrapping his arms around Kari's waist.


And done at last. Sorry it took so long, but I'm close to finishing the first chapter of ether the Fusion or Tamers story, along with the Tri story.
