Chapter 2: Resolve:
At the base, the Tamers were quite upset as to the loss of Takato and Guilmon, with Jeri resting on a bed within the medical wing, too solemn at losing someone so close to her.
By her side was Henry, who was doing what he could to try and assure Jeri, to comfort her, but found his words having little effect to boost Jeri's confidence.
"Takato, I am sorry... I couldn't have been there for you..." Jeri sobbed, first she lost Leomon and now she had lost Takato, which left a growing dread filling Jeri's heart.
But remaining by her side, sticking to her as a friend, though he too felt a dread at losing such close friends, Henry took a seat beside Jeri, resting his hand upon hers' as he told her. "Jeri, we're all griven by this but we gotta keep going strong. Takato would want us to keep going."
Seeing Jeri continuing to remain in her downcast mood, Henry sighed a little and returned to his feet, leaving as to give the brunette some privacy.
Leaving the medical wing and planning to meet up/return to Terriermon, Henry found Ryo approach him.
"How's Jeri?" The Digimon King questioned.
"Still sad. The pain of losing Takato and Guilmon is bringing up an uneasiness within Jeri that's similar to Leomon's loss. It's my fault. I should have Takato and Guilmon to come to us quicker if we had the chance." Henry said in reply, doubt filling his core.
"It's all our fault." Ryo said in reply, moving past Henry and into the medical wing, where he spoke alongside Henry and Jeri. "But from what Cyberdramon has told me, the Digimon are going back to that laybranth to take care of those monsters. We can help the surviving Digimon above live a peaceful life while fending off the attacks above."
"Jeri... Takato wouldn't want you weeping and moaning all the time." Ryo then assured, adding his own faith as he questioned. "If you were Takato, what would you do?"
From the question, Jeri slowly rose and gave a small nod.
"You're right. He would refuse to give up. We can't let losing Takato and Guilmon get the best of us." Jeri said in reply.
"That a girl." Rika let out with a small smile as she entered the room. "The Digimon will find Takato and Guilmon while we do as we can."
Confused by the red haired Tamer's attitude, Ryo let out with an understandable confusion. "Rika... you seem confident for some reason."
"I know Takato and Guilmon aren't dead, they're far too tough for that." Rika said in reply, resting her hand on her chest as she declared. "Besides, Renamon and I have a strong feeling that they are still alive."
Though inspired a little by Rika's more hopeful side, Henry had to question Rika's change in attitude.
"How can you...?" The more technological Tamer began to ask, but found his question cut short when a scream filled and echoed through the rooms.
"Renamon?" Rika let out with a concern, turning, rushing out of the room and searching around frantically. "That was her scream!"
"It came from the bathrooms!" Henry let out, taking a lead as he, Jeri, Rika and Ryo all ran down the various halls of their base and to the Tamers as they burst in.
Concerned for her partner, Rika let out. "Renamon, are you...?"
However, Rika found herself set in silence, stunned alongside the other Tamers at the sight before them.
Within the outdoor bathroom, a selected area for the Digimon to feel more set in a familiar environment, Renamon, Impmon and Biyomon were standing in the baths, all blushing at the clear changes that had occurred within them.
Looking to Biyomon and Impmon, the Tamers found the Rookie Level Digimon were now taller, just a few inches shorter than Renamon, before noticing how Impmon had his hands cupping his lower region, an action Biyomon and Renamon seemed to mimic as they did what they could to cover their now exposed revealing huge breasts, vaginas and huge butts.
"What's going on?" Terriermon questioned as he and the other Digimon finally arrived, overhearing the screams themselves, but found themselves stunned and blushing, awe struck at the sight before them.
After adjusting a little to what they were seeing, the group screamed as one.
-A while later-
Overcoming the shock of Impmon, Biyomon and Renamon's physical changes and leading the situation to Yamaki, while the Digimon were sent into a changing room as to cover their newly developed private areas, the head of Hypnos had a small conversation with the Tamers.
"So the water our Digimon bathed in is from the Digi Morph Spring?" Kazu questioned, this earning a mere nod from Yamaki, while Riley, Yamaki's wife gave a more verbal reply.
"It's a powerful water that can grant further power to a Digimon, but bathing in it can also alter the Digimon's body to represent their gender to greater extent. So far, Biyomon, Renamon and Impmon are the only ones to bathe in it, and from the data we gathered, they've grown in terms of strength and physical appearance." Riley informed the Tamers.
"There is still a lot we don't know about the qualities of the Digi-Morph spring, or how it effects certain Digimon, but no negative qualities have been seen within our data." Tally added.
"So they'll be stronger than before, right?" Asked Terriermon, part of him wondering what would happen if he and Lopmon were exposed to the altering waters.
Riley nodded to Terriermon's question, before adding. "Though their individual strength, energy and abilities to Digivolve have excelled, Impmon, Biyomon and Renamon need to be careful. Their new bodies will take an adjustment period, and for obvious reasons, they cannot show their bodies off as they had in the past."
Nodding in reply and understanding how their Digimon could be an unwanted distraction in combat, Henry, Jeri, Rika, Ryo and the others within the room waited for the altered Digimon to return, finding that after a small waiting period, the door leading to the changing rooms/past Yamaki's office and to the changing rooms opened, revealing Renamon, Biyomon and Impmon.
Looking at Renamon first, taking in the appearance of the vixen Digimon, Rika and the others found Renamon now wearing a simple purple and black patterned leotard, with the chest opening, showing off her cleavage and a small opening as to show off her belly button.
Upon Renamon's feet were a pair of matching knee-high boots, long tight gloves covered her paws, while set within her grasp was a set of twin fan blades, leaving Renamon with her continued fighting stride, alongside showing herself off as a woman.
By Renamon's side, Biyomon blushed a little, still getting used to the clothing covering her nudity.
Having a similar outfit to Renamon's, but having pink and white material covering her body, Biyomon was embarrassed, not only to how everyone was looking at her, but how Renamon's body looked compared to her own.
Lastly, Impmon, living up to his Mega Level form, had a black biker jacket set around his chest, keeping the jacket unzipped and open as to show off his more muscular chest, while a pair of black jeans were clad upon his legs.
Set upon his legs were a set of holsters, keeping a pair of replicated shotguns similar to Beelzemon's close to Impmon should he need to set in and fight, while his red neckerchief still remained around his neck.
"This feels strangely odd wearing clothing like this." Impmon let out, straightening his jacket, finding it unusual to wear clothing outside his Beelzemon form.
"It can't be helped. We need to cover your new parts" Jasmine said in reply, (having personally selected the clothing for the Digimon to wear).
"I still can't believe how big your breasts are." Lopmon said as she just stared up and at Renamon, almost jealous of the foxy Digimon and her radiant and highlighted sexuality, knowing Renamon wasn't doing it on purpose, but from her outfit, Lopmon could see how it only showed off the vixen's enticing figure.
Blushing herself as she looked upon her clothing, Renamon could see how her outfit didn't cover much of her butt cheeks either as it looked like the bottom part were wedged between her buttocks.
And cupping her breasts, Renamon blushed as she found they gave a small bounce with each step she took.
"That's your first thought when you see me like this?" Renamon asked with a continued blush at Lopmon's choice of words, before clearing her throat and declaring "Any rate, despite my body change, I am still a warrior digimon."
"A warrior princess more like it." Terriermon teased, avoiding the glare the vixen gave him.
"Anyway... are you sure you're ok going back down there alone without us?" Alice cut in, wanting to return the focus back on their unknown enemies and how to stop them.
"We'll be fine. It's better for us to get stronger and not to worry you so much." Biyomon said with a sweet and caringness in her voice. "We also need to make sure if Guilmon and Takato are still alive as Renamon believed."
"You think they're still are?" Henry asked, finding the odds were not on their side.
"We hope so." Terriermon said in reply.
"And we'll keep you in contact if need be." Renamon added as she moved her bladed fan up to her face as if it were an actual fan. "If we need anything, we'll contact you through your D-Powers if we run into any trouble."
"Alright then. We'll remain on the surface and help the Digimon with the farming and all." Rika said, putting her trust in her partner.
Kuja and BlackGabumon, however, gave a silent nod to each other making Impmon look at them in suspicion.
"Then we're off. Stay safe." Cyberdramon let out as he and the other Digimon set off.
"Rika... I also believe Guilmon is still alive. I have to find him." Renamon said to her Tamer, the words Rika nodded and agreed with, before adding. "Alright, I'll leave it to you. Don't lose hope and don't quit."
Smiling at Rika's confidence in her, Renamon nodded, looking to her Tamer with absolute respect before she headed off, determined to defeat their new foe, but more so in finding Takato and Guilmon.

Back within the labyrinth, along the path were many slain monsters this included giant white lions, golems and giant trolls, each ended by gun shots or sliced to pieces, where Takato and Guilmon continued their way down the labyrinth pathway, taking down anything that dared oppose them.
But coming to a huge red door, Takato and Guilmon came to a halt.
"I believe guessing the exit is beyond this point. So let's get through and get the hell out of here." Takato said, his words earning a nod from Guilmon, who pushed the door open, revealing a huge chamber, alongside a bright blue door within the distance.
"It can't be that easy, it must be a trap." Guilmon said as he examined their surroundings.
Their suspicions were correct as a huge circular indentation then appeared on the floor, from where a head six headed lizard rose from the depths, each head giving a great and fearsome snarl.
"Aha, a new challenger. Let's see how you like this?!" Takato said back, taking out his revolver and opened fire, aiming and shooting at the red headed head amongst the reptilian beast, blasting it off and allowing Guilmon to leap over and use his revolver to blast the green one head off.
However, despite removing two of the heads, Takato and Guilmon noticed something, seeing the middle white head give a great roar, using its magic to bring the two heads back to life.
"Revival. That could be troublesome." Guilmon commented.
"So that white headed reptile can bring them back?" Takato questioned, guessing each head had a respective element in combat.
Showing its own strength and power, the red headed reptile released a stream of fire at the duo, who used their quick step as to leap away from the inferno.
"We've got to take out the white headed one before we move onto the others." Takato called out, keeping up his defences alongside Guilmon, especially as the blue headed reptile released a stream of ice from its maw.
As Guilmon focused on the ice spewing head, repelling the frost with his Pyro Sphere attack, Takato took a shot toward the white headed reptilian, trying to find a weak spot within its defences, releasing another wave of gunfire at the reptilian beast, which retaliated, bringing its yellow skinned head out and casting out a great blast of thunder from its jaws.
Overpowering the icy onslaught against him, Guilmon saw the electrified attack heading toward his Tamer, which caused Guilmon to act, defending Takato as best he could as he leapt in front of the brunette and took the blast himself.
"Guilmon!" Takato called out in alarm, a great concern filling him at the sight of his Digimon partner electrocuted.
But as the smoke caused from the sheer power of electricity released slowly subsided, Takato saw Guilmon standing ahead of him, save from a few wounds, the Hazard Digimon looked able to fight.
"Are you alright, Guilmon?" Takato asked.
"I'm fine, and I now know where that thing's weak spot is. If we destroy it in one blast/attack, we can get the hell out of here" Guilmon said in reply.
"Kill it completely?" Takato questioned, recalling Jeri using a similar strategy as to wipe out Orochimon in the past.
"Just buy me some time." Takato then said as he removed the bundle from off his back and began to unwrap it, searching through his belongings.
With Takato in agreement with his plan, and now assisting the Tamer, Guilmon drew out his sword, planning to keep their opponent distracted long enough for Takato to deliver a great and devastating blow.
"Come on you many headed freaks. Let's dance!" Guilmon yelled, grabbing the attention of the multi-headed beast, the heads all hissing, snarling and roaring in reply to Guilmon's outburst, before attacking, releasing a combination attack of flame, ice and electricity, adding with it wind, water, and vile poison at Guilmon.
But keeping up his speed and his defences, Guilmon avoided and countered the six elements, combatting flame against flame, melting the ice thrown at him and even using his inferno to set off the gasses from the poisonous attacks in great and devastating blasts.
Though the reptilian beast continued ot adjust itself to the battle, gathering further power in its flame attack with its wind breath, electrifying its water and reduced ice attacks, doing all it could to destroy Guilmon, the Hazard Digimon remained strong, using his sword to deliver a few fearsome cuts upon any of the heads that came too close to his being, as well as keeping up his firepower, bombarding the reptile beast with countless revolver fire.
From the flames, claw attacks, blade swings and gun shots, the beast roared in rage as it slammed several of its heads into Guilmon's body, knocking the red dino Digimon back and into a wall, but doing so, this gave Takato a clear shot.
"Hey ugly!" The Digimon Tamer let out, his call alerting the reptilian creature, which glared to see the huge laser canon Takato had constructed from the rocks, metal and various energies.
"Die already!" Takato yelled with a further might, pulling the trigger and releasing a great onslaught of power from the canon, unleashing a huge blast that caught and consumed the monster, destroying it and wiping out every last trace of the beast.
Their battle over, Takato let out a small sigh, but found Guilmon had collapsed and was clearly exhausted after their endeavour.
"Guilmon, are you alright?" Takato asked as he approached the red dino Digimon.
"I'm fine... Just tired that's all..." Guilmon said in reply.
Glad to know Guilmon only needed a moment to recover his energy, Takato then looked ahead to see the huge door just ahead of them.
"Don't worry, Guilmon. We're in this together. Surely we find a safe spot where you can rest." Takato said, lifting Guilmon up, hoisting his arm around Guilmon as to help carry the red dino Digimon along, dragging him toward the door despite having one arm.
"And don't you worry... we'll find a way home soon..." The brunette then said, keeping a close hold to Guilmon, keeping him close as he dragged his partner along.
Pushing open the door, alongside the assistance of Guilmon, Takato was relieved to see they were back in the Digital World, both enjoying the cool air brushing upon their faces.
However, the pair saw they were not alone.
Looking ahead, Takato took notice of a black furred feline Digimon, a BlackGatomon standing before him with a sly and feisty grin on her face.
Alongside her black fur, purple turfs and stripes adorned the tip of her ears and along her tail.
She wore a revealing leotard which covered her torso and arms, with patches of the fabric removed as to expose and show off her cleavage, buttocks and various parts of her body.
"Oh, hi there. I was waiting for you." The cat Digimon said with a continued smile, bowing a little as to show off her body and to then add with a continued enviting tone. "I am BlackGatomon."
"Unless you want to die, clear off." Takato said back, not feeling up to talking at the moment.
"Aww that's no way to talk to someone who was waiting for your arrival. Your friend seems exhausted, and I happen to know of a village where he can rest and you can get a new arm." BlackGatomon replied with a growing smirk.
Though Takato wanted to protest, BlackGatomon approached the pair and helped shift Guilmon's weight onto her shoulder, the dark furred feline adding cheerfully. "Come on. Let's go! I watch over big red here while someone I know could give you a new arm. Come on come on."
"I may be regretting this..." Takato let out with a sigh as he and BlackGatomon helped carry Guilmon to a nearby village.
The new adventure of the Digimon Tamers was just beginning.
