The whole city was in a state of emergency. The substance Helixmon created was swallowing the city. Their families were against Tyrone and the others going in to fight, but they knew they had to. Frank gave Sean his blessing. Rachel had to say no to her brother. Louie opened up to his mother. Tyrone ignored his mother and ran off with Julie. Once they all regrouped, they tried to get in through the sewers. Meanwhile, the military was getting ready to fight as well, but saw that Helixmon's artificial digimon were there as well. This might be more than Tyrone and the others can handle.

Digimon

Look to the past, as we head for the future

To reclaim the digital world

With faith in ourselves

And trusting each other

We live by the lessons we learned

As we work towards one solution

Through digivolution

I am the one, I am the one

Digimon

Forever united as one

Digimon

Together the battles are won

Digimon

Through us let your spirit evolve

If we're all for one world, there's one for us all

If we're all for one world, there's one for us all

Digimon

Tyrone and the others climbed out of the sewers, but they heard the military trying to fight off the artificial digimon. Those fools really have no idea what they're up against.

"Why are they fighting? Are they crazy?" Dragmon said. "They don't know what they're up against. They could be crushed. Helixmon's artificial digimon are too strong for them."

"But they don't know that." Sean said. "We've got to do something, but the military might treat us like the enemy."

"I thought we had to just worry about that goop, but now we have those fake digimon to worry about." Julie said. The situation looks pretty bad. As all of them heard this go on, Louie had a strange feeling. He turned around and saw a bunch of eyes.

"Guys, we're being watched." Louie said. All of them turned around and saw a group of Surveymon. All of them were a little creeped out by this.

"What are those things?" Tyrone said.

"Are they digimon?" Rachel questioned.

"Not like any digimon I've ever seen before." Ninmon said.

"They must be more of Helixmon's artificial digimon." Bumblemon said. All of them just stayed calm as none of them made a move.

"Why are they just standing there?" Rachel said.

"I think they're waiting to see what we do." Mistiomon said.

"Guys, maybe we should…." Sean started.

"Run and get the heck out of here?" Tyrone finished. All of them started running as they had the same thought, but Dragmon stayed behind. "Dragmon, what are you doing?"

"Staring contest." Dragmon said.

"Come on!" Tyrone called. Dragmon decided he should just go with it.

"I was winning." Dragmon said as he ran with the others and the Surveymon just watching.

"Why aren't they chasing us?" Louie said.

"Maybe they think we're not a concern." Mistiomon said. "What we should do right now is find a place to rest and hideout in."

"I think I know where we can go." Tyrone said.

…

The Next Day

Tyrone suggested that all of them hide in the school since it was abandoned. It was the only place no one would think to find them in. Tyrone woke up and had a look out the window. The red mass looked just as bad in the morning as it did in any other day.

"It's a mess." Tyrone said.

"You said it." Sean said as all of them woke up. Julie and Louie came in after they had a look around.

"Nice call, Tyrone. It looks like no one knows we're here." Julie said.

"So now what?" Rachel said. "We weren't expecting Helixmon's artificial digimon to be here as well and there was a group of those things."

"Remember Reflectmon and Phobiamon?" Sean said. "They said Helixmon created them. He must have created a lot. Helixmon has spent a lot of time planning for this day. We have to assume that he actually has an army at his disposal."

"Great. How are we suppose to fight an army?" Tyrone said.

"Hey, Tyrone. I'm hungry." Dragmon said.

"How can you even think of food now?" Tyrone said.

"Because I'm thinking. Let's go to the cafeteria." Dragmon said.

"Trust me, you're better off starving than whatever is in there." Louie said.

"I think I know where we can go." Tyrone said.

…

The Bakery

Tyrone took everyone to his family bakery. Luckily, he had a key to the place and was able to get inside.

"Here we go. There should be plenty of food in here." Tyrone said.

"Seriously? Cake and pastries for breakfast?" Rachel said.

"We can have donuts." Tyrone said as he had a look around. "Cops have donuts all the time. Besides, there's the kitchen as well. Now let's see what we got." Tyrone looked around and saw all the ingredients to make the stuff. "My parents actually make this stuff by scratch? This might be a little harder than I thought."

"No worries. My mom taught me a thing or two about cooking since she works at a diner." Louie said. "I can cook up something in the kitchen."

"Hey! I found a recipe book." Julie said.

"It's official. We're all going to get food poisoning." Rachel said.

….

Yukon

"What is this made of? Lead?" Taku complained. Yukon and other scientists found a building he and other scientists can use as their base in the meantime. They were getting their computers set up so they know what to do. As they were all getting the place working, Yukon stared out the window. "You okay?"

"I feel like I'm partly to blame for this." Yukon said. "What if bringing the kids home is what somehow caused this."

"We don't know that." Taku said. "If you do feel responsible, own up to it and find a way to fix this. That's what we do when we make mistakes. After all, we're only human. Nothing is really perfect and we can't expect things to go the way we want them to."

"I guess you're right." Yukon said. "Keep up work her. I'm going to speak to the military and have those soldiers pull back. They're only putting themselves in danger if they just blindly attack it." Yukon left the place. It's going to take a lot to defeat this enemy.

….

The Bakery

Tyrone and the others did the best they could to make some form of breakfast. Had some laughs as Dragmon sneezed and flour got everywhere. When it seemed like they were done, they put what they made in the oven.

"Now we just need to wait." Tyrone said.

"More waiting?" Dragmon complained.

"Patience is a virtue." Mistiomon said.

"Virtual? If it's virtual, we shouldn't wait because we're in the real world." Dragmon said. Once it was done, they were able to eat and it was edible. Once they have a breakfast, they're going to need all the strength they can get to fight Helixmon's forces.

….

The Military

"Yukon better make this fast." Lesly said as she waited outside. "If that red mass doesn't get us to move, the military will." Yukon went to speak with the military about this threat. He was trying to convince them to hold back.

"I appreciate your concern, but we got this." The general said.

"I'm telling you that this is not an enemy you can attack blindly. We don't know enough about what's going on." Yukon said. "You can't fight it with regular weapons."

"Sir, the missile is ready." A soldier said.

"Did you not hear me?" Yukon said.

"Relax. We understand the importance of information." The general said. They got a missile ready to fire and they launched it with a cord connected to it. It went right through the substance and acted as a camera. "Now let's see what's going on in there." They were getting surveillance and they saw what was happening to the buildings as they were slowly breaking apart.

"It looks like it's absorbing the buildings." Yukon said.

"Sir, we're losing footage." A soldier said as the camera was being absorbed as well.

"Does it know we're watching?" The general questioned as they saw the footage was gone. With no information on what they're up against, they're not sure how they can fight it.

'I think there's only one group of people that know what's going on.' Yukon thought.

….

Ligermon

Ligermon snuck a ride on a bus. Once it got to the stop he needed to be at, he got off. He looked around trying to figure out which way he can go.

"This is the place." Ligermon said as he looked at the note. "Betty and Yuka left this. They said they were heading to their grandma's house. I remember their grandma lives around here, but where?" Ligermon is trying to find his old friends in hopes of making things right, but now he doesn't know which way he's suppose to go.

…

The Bakery

"Come on, Rachel. Admit it." Tyrone said.

"Okay. It wasn't as bad as I thought." Rachel said as they enjoyed some breakfast. Suddenly, Mistiomon became alert about something.

"What's wrong?" Sean asked.

"I heard a car pull up." Mistiomon said.

"A car?" Tyrone questioned. That was when they heard a knock on the door. "Who could be here?" Tyrone went over to see who it was. He opened the door and was surprised to see Yukon and Lesly. "Yukon!"

"I thought I find you kids around here." Yukon said.

"Yeah, but what are you doing here?" Tyrone said and noticed Lesly. "Hold on. I know you. You bought those day-old donuts here."

"Hey. My name is Lesly."

"Those donuts were day-old? I thought they were fresh." Yukon said. Tyrone allowed them to come in. Yukon knew they would know about what's going on. So he sat down and told them everything that has happened.

"So you're saying a digimon named Helixmon is behind all this." Yukon said.

"Yeah. He thinks things such as feelings and emotions aren't really necessary." Tyrone said. "He wants to create a world without that stuff so there would be less conflict, less problems."

"But in order for him to do that, he needs to destroy both the human and the digital world." Julie said.

"I was afraid something like this might happen one day." Yukon said.

"So that red stuff out there is destroying everything it touches?" Lesly said. "Yukon saw a small footage of everything it swallowed up is being absorbed."

"I think I have a theory on what that stuff is really doing." Sean said. "It might be absorbing whatever it swallows and stores the components like how a computer file stores data."

"So once it absorbs everything in both worlds, Helixmon will use it to create his ideal world." Rachel said as she was catching on.

"Has anyone else noticed? It seems to be moving slower here than it did in the digital world." Louie said. When Louie said that, they thought about it and saw he was right.

"Maybe that's because everything in the digital world is comprised of data." Sean said. "It must be harder for it to absorb matter here in the real world."

"Tyrone, is there anything else you can tell us about it?" Yukon said.

"Sorry, but the only one that knows how it works is Helixmon and we don't know where he is." Tyrone said.

"That red mass isn't all we have to worry about." Julie said. "Don't forget that Helixmon created artificial digimon to serve him. He must have a ton of them."

"True. There's still so much we don't know." Sean said. All of them were trying to figure this out, but their thoughts were stopped when they heard explosions outside. All of them ran outside and heard the military going at it again.

"Oh no. The military is still trying to fight it off." Tyrone said.

"Those fools. I warned them that it won't work." Yukon said.

"We can't just stay here. We got to get over there and stop this." Tyrone said with everyone agreeing.

…

Ligermon

Ligermon continued searching for Betty and Yuka, but he had no luck. He rested on the top of a roof as he tried to view the place. He still couldn't tell where their grandmother's house was. Ligermon was about ready to give up.

"I'm never going to find those two. They could be anywhere. I wish this was easier." Ligermon said.

"Come on, Yuka." Ligermon couldn't believe it. He looked down and saw both of them walking around with their cat. Their cat spotted him and they stopped. "What is it?"

"Betty, look!" Yuka said. Betty looked and they saw Ligermon was there.

"Ligermon?!" Betty said.

"Hi." Ligermon said in shock.

"Yay! Ligermon's back!" Yuka said as both of them were happy to see him again.

…..

Koto City

The military continued to try and fight, but they weren't having any luck against the artificial digimon. Phobiamon and Reflectmon fought as well, but it was mere child's play for them. They ordered the Surveymon to attack as they all fired energy shots.

"These humans are simple yet complex." Reflectmon said. "They continue to fight when their efforts are insufficient. Puzzling?"

"Our orders are to take out anyone that would try and get in our way. I say we just go for it." Phobiamon said.

"That is what we were built for." Reflectmon said and continued fighting. Yukon got the kids in his van and drove in closer.

"Stop here." Tyrone said. He pulled over and all of them got out as they saw the two of them. "It's Reflectmon and Phobiamon! That might be it."

"What?" Julie asked.

"If Helixmon has an army, Reflectmon and Phobiamon must be like the generals." Tyrone said. "If we can take them down, it might deal a great loss of power for their side."

"And if you're wrong?" Sean asked.

"Does it matter? We be no better off than when we started." Tyrone said.

"Tyrone's right. Go for it." Yukon said. All of them pulled out their digivices and their digimon were ready to fight.

"Dragmon warp digivolve to….Legendmon!"

"Golden Armor Energize!"

"Mistiomon golden armor digivolve to…..Fenrirmon!"

"DNA Charge….Overdrive!"

"Bumblemon warp digivolve to….RoyBeemon!"

"Biomerge Digivolution."

"Biomerge activate!"

"Ninmon biomerge to….Sakuramon!"

"Execute! Fusion Evolution!"

"Junglemon!"

"Amazing! So that's digivolution! Julie and Louie even became digimon!" Yukon said as he saw it for the first time. Phobiamon held one of his blades and was ready to finish the soldiers.

"Time to say goodbye." Phobiamon said.

"I don't think so!" Legendmon said as he got in his way. The others faced the two of them and were ready.

"Look at this." Reflectmon said as he recognized them. "It's the same humans and their digimon we met in the digital world. So you dare oppose us? You'll find that to be a painful decision."

"Quit you're yapping and let's fight!" Junglemon said as he charged right at him, but he blocked the attack and kicked him back.

"Legend Fire!" Legendmon used his attack against Phobiamon, but he disappeared with incredible speed and slashed against Legendmon.

"Think your fast, huh?" RoyBeemon said. "Let's test it." Both of them used incredible speed and kept attacking each other. Sakuramon pulled out her katana and tried to attack, but Reflectmon blocked her attacks with his own sword and pushed her back. Fenrirmon went at him and tried to take a bite out of him, but Reflectmon used his shield and blocked the attack.

"Is this really the best you all can do?" Reflectmon said. "I actually expected more out of digimon like you." As the fight was going on, the military watched it happened.

"Sir, it looks like more creatures, but their fighting against the first set." A soldier said.

"Come on, men. We can't let a bunch of kids and their digital pets show us up." The general said, but the Surveymon made it difficult for them to fight back.

…

Ligermon

"Here, Ligermon. You must be hungry." Yuka said as he handed some food for him.

"Thanks." Ligermon said as he helped himself. When Ligermon found them, they were happy to see each other again. With their grandmother out, the three of them were able to be at her house. "This is weird. Usually you two are arguing by now or something."

"Things changed when you left." Betty said.

"Yeah. We were really sad when you left." Yuka said. "We figured out that you left because of that. So we decided to get along better so that you won't leave again."

"We did learn that we were mistreating you, Ligermon." Betty said. "We're really sorry about that, but we are really glad that you came back." Ligermon was touched. He could see that they meant it. "Hang on. I want to see what's happening back in Koto City." Betty turned on the news and saw what was going on.

"The battle between the strange creatures continue. It is to believe these are digimon and it looks like a losing battle for one side." The news said. Ligermon saw Legendmon and the others fighting and they were losing the fight. Ligermon couldn't watch this.

"I've got to go." Ligermon said.

"What?!You're leaving?! Please don't go." Yuka said.

"It's not like that." Ligermon said. "Those guys are the closest things I have to friends. They need my help. I made a lot of mistakes, but I've got to make them right."

"If those are his friends, he should help them." Betty said.

"I have to. I promise I'll be back." Ligermon said as he ran out and hurried as fast as he could.

"He's coming back, right?" Yuka said.

"He will." Betty said as she believed in him. Ligermon's faith in humans were restored as well. It formed a ball of light and an original digivice formed with it landing in Betty's hands. As for Ligermon, he ran through the streets as fast as he could.

"I must be out of my mind. A little guy like me is going to get crushed. Still, I've got to help them." Ligermon said. With his new heart, he was able to warp digivolve and became Sibegermon once more.

"The power… It feels different than before." Sibegermon said as he could feel it. "And this time, I'm fighting for what's right!" He used his new power and moved across the buildings and was moving a lot faster. "Feels good when you fight for what's right. Who knew?"

…..

Koto City

"Phobia Swift!" Phobiamon moved incredibly fast as he slashed against Legendmon and RoyBeemon. He took them out easily. Junglemon charged at Reflectmon again, but Reflectmon jumped over him and slashed against him with him being knocked down.

"Let's try attacking at the same time. He can't stop both of us." Fenrirmon said and Sakuramon agreed.

"Golden Blizzard!"

"Sakura Flurry!"

"Reflect Attack!" Sakuramon and Fenrirmon tried to attack together, but that backfired. Reflectmon was able to reflect both of their attacks and blasted both of them as they were knocked down from it.

"Nice try, but if I can reflect it, it doesn't matter how or where you attack me." Reflectmon said. It was becoming a losing battle,

"This is bad." Sean said.

"They're both so powerful. How are we going to take them down?" Rachel said. It wasn't looking good for them.

'Their power seems to know no limits. Can we really not beat them?' Fenrirmon wondered as it seemed bad. Suddenly, he sensed something familiar and looked behind him. The others looked back as well and saw Sibegermon coming in.

"Sibergemon?!" Sean said.

"Don't tell me he wants a rematch now." Tyrone said, but Sibegermon passed over them and attacked the artificial digimon. He attacked Reflectmon and knocked him back. He grabbed one of Phobiamon's cords and smashed him to the ground.

"Sibegermon, you're really helping us?" Legendmon said.

"Yeah. You got a problem with it?" Sibegermon said.

"More confused." Junglemon said.

"Later. Let's take them." Sibegermon said. All of the digimon gathered together for this one. All of them used their attacks at the same time. Phobiamon and Reflectmon did their best to avoid it, but it resulted in a large explosion and blew the both of them back.

"Perhaps they are more powerful than we expected, but that won't stop us." Phobiamon said as he was going to fight again.

"No, Phobiamon. We must pull a tactical retreat for now." Reflectmon said. "We have much to do and we're wasting our precious time with them. We'll deal with them another time." They both pulled back. They may not have been destroyed, but at least the real digimon survived. When the battle was over, all of them were thanking Sibegermon for the help.

"Thanks, Sibegermon. I can't believe you actually helped us." Tyrone said.

"Don't mention it." Sibegermon said. "I know I done some bad things, but I plan on making them right. I've got new faith in my partners now."

"Your partners?!" Sean said.

"How about that. Kitty cat went meow for his owners." Junglemon said with all of them laughing.

"Hey! What's that suppose to mean? Oh, wait. You're laughing with me, right?" Sibegermon said and joined in. With one more joining in the fight, perhaps there is a chance to save the worlds.

To Be Continued….

That's great for Sibegermon. Perhaps he'll make a difference in this fight. You better stay tune for the next Digimon Digital Monsters.
