Okay, so I'm now finally back. Sorry about it all but finals papers really drain me of my time... and my ADHD doesn't help.

Shoutout to bailey13, Evan Vergel, and shadowmwape, for the faves and follows.

And shoutouts to God of the Challenge, DigimonAT0318, Whiteling and MadDogLucario96 for the reviews.

Oh, and for those of you wanting to know, Jubia very much loved the fictionalized version of herself, however, she's in a spot of bother so if you guys could, donate a few dollars to her so she can get a new screen and get back to drawing amazing works.

That all out of the way, let's get back to work.

Chapter 48: Army of Darkness! The Dark Seed!

Odaiba District, Minato Ward, Tokyo, Japan. December 25th, 2002. 1816 Hours.
P.O.V. – Ross McGlathery

Finally we were back home! After our global adventure that only took a few hours in reality, we all landed back in Odaiba as we all started to get ready to head home and at least finally spend what's left of Christmas with our folks. The good news was that we stopped Archnemon and Mummymon's plan cold and now they've got nothing. Of course, we still need to deal with them but right now, we just needed to rest for a bit.
"Finally, we can go home!" Daisuke practically read my mind as we all were standing near the bay.
"I'm so hungry! I want to have dinner now!" complained Miyako. "Borscht! Piroshki!" Is she still on that? Come on, Miyako.
"What are you on about?" Daisuke questioned which caused Miyako to blush.
"A-anyway, I'm starving!"

"Let's go home now." Taichi suggested as we started to move.
"Okay. But…" Hikari seemed worried about something.
"But?"
"I'm worried about what our enemies will do next." Ah, that explains it. That is true, we've stopped this plan… but what exactly do they still have up their sleeves?
"Yeah. They won't give up just yet." Takeru reminded.
"You're right." Taichi nodded.
"But you know…" We all looked over to Daisuke who spoke up. "We worked really hard today, so let's just take a rest for now. Prepare for what will come, I mean." We all stood wide eyed and speechless with what he just said. "Huh?" He noticed our silence. "Did I say something weird?" Well, kind of. It sounded very unlike you.
"N-no…" Taichi stammered for a moment there. "You actually said something good for a change, Daisuke." Now it was his turn to blush.
"Really?" He rubbed his nose like he was Dr. Cox or something.

"What a simpleton." Miyako shrugged causing us to laugh.
"Hey, what's so funny?" He accused.
"Relax, Daisuke-kun, I'm just kidding."
"Well, we'll be going now." Osamu informed as he started to walk the other direction.
"Merry Christmas everyone." Ken bowed and followed after him.
"Right, their house is in the opposite direction."
"Ichijouji-san is working hard, isn't he?" observed Koushiro. "That's great." It's true. He's certainly come a long way from being the Kaiser. I only hope he'll soon finally forgive himself about it all and truly start to move on.

Takaishi Residence, Odiaba District, Minato Ward, Tokyo, Japan. December 25th, 2002. 1846 Hours.
P.O.V. – Takeru Takaishi

"I'm home!" I announced as I opened the door to the apartment and walked in. I saw Mom's head bolt around the corner at the end of the hallway.
"Takeru, you're back!" She exclaimed as I sat down and started to take my shoes off at the door.
"Y-yeah. I had to go out all of a sudden… Sorry I'm back so late." I said.
"Listen, I heard about the monsters rampaging all over the world on the news… plus Mom and Dad called before… that was Digimon running around right?" I stopped untying.
"Yeah…"
"And you all got involved to stop it right?"
"Yeah, we did…" I took them off and then stood back up before giving her a reassuring smile. "But we're okay! Don't worry."
"Yep! All taken care of!" chimed in Patamon who was on my head. Mom then smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I trust you. Both of you." She gave Patamon a quick tap on his nose causing him to giggle.

"Although…" She spoke up again as we walked down the hall. "There's one thing that's bothering me… I was out doing some last minute shopping and some work as well the other day when I ran into Ross-kun's father… as well as a strange man." I stopped in my tracks.
"A strange man?"
"He said something strange about the case from three years ago not being over yet." I suddenly turned around and ran back to her. "He was the same man who contacted me three years ago, asking for details on what happened in Hikarigaoka and Odaiba." My eyes widened. "After today with the Digimon… I think that's what he meant by his words. I wonder if he's involved in this case as well…"
"Mom, was he human?" I questioned loudly. "Did she actually run into Mummymon!?"
"'Human'?" Maybe not.
"No, never mind. I was just asking." I backed down. Still, this is concerning, and she said Ross's dad was with her… I better call him later.

Motomiya Residence, Odiaba District, Minato Ward, Tokyo, Japan. December 25th, 2002. 1851 Hours.
P.O.V. – Daisuke Motomiya

"Mom, dinner!" I said as I walked into the apartment. I could smell she was cooking something.
"Welcome back." She told me, pretty calm what with everything that has happened. She didn't even ask where I was during all this. That question came from Jun who was sitting on the couch.
"Where have you been?"
"None of your business." I told her while looking at the table in front of her and seeing what looked like a concert ticket torn in half.
"What's with that attitude? You're so annoying!"
"Here's a follow-up news report." The anchorman on the TV said. "All the monster that had appeared around the world vanished at around five in the evening. The details have not been confirmed as of yet." Well, at least we weren't caught on a camera or something. I then headed into my room as Jun growled at the table.

Ichijouji Residence, Tamachi District, Minato Ward, Tokyo, Japan. December 25th, 2002. 1935 Hours.
P.O.V. – Osamu Ichijouji

"We're home!" Ken and I said as we walked into the house. Hopefully, Mom wasn't worried too much about us at the moment. Don't really want to put her through all that hell again.
"Ken-chan! Osamu-chan! Where have you been?" She dashed into the hall. Guess we did make her worry.
"Sorry, we were with some friends…" Ken lied. We didn't have Monodramon or Wormmon with us as they were outside, trying to get to the balcony outside my room. I think Wormmon can climb up easy like the bug he is, but I think Monodramon might have a bit more difficulty.
"With friends?" She then calmed down. "Well, I'm glad you're safe."
"We're sorry." I apologized for the both of us.
"Tamachi has been in a panic since morning. And neither of you weren't coming home, so I was really worried about you two. Call me next time you'll be late, okay?"
"Okay." We told her as we went into my room.
"Would you guys like dinner?"
"Yeah, in a bit." I said as I closed the door.

We then turned around and saw Wormmon hop onto the patio before Monodramon struggled right behind him. I walked over to the patio door and opened it up to let them in.
"Why can't we just use the elevator like everyone else?" Wormmon questioned which caused both of us to laugh.
"Yeah… it be easier than free climbing the side." Monodramon panted as he was out of wind, causing us to laugh harder.
"Sorry, guys… it's just you know, it would be hard to explain to Mom and Dad about you guys if we walked in through the front." I reminded. While everyone was looking away, I thought I caught the glimpse of a shadow streaking across the night sky just right near the building. My look got more cold which the others noticed.
"Onii-san, what's wrong?" Ken asked.
"No, it's nothing." I assured them before I glanced back outside. "Archnemon?"

Iori Residence, Odaiba District, Minato Ward, Tokyo, Japan. December 25th, 2002. 1952 Hours.
P.O.V. – Iori Hida

Grandfather and I were paying our respects to Father at his shrine that we had in the apartment shortly after I came back home.
"How did my father die?" I asked Grandfather as we stopped praying. He looked at me slightly funny.
"Why all of a sudden?" He knows that I knew the answer.
"Well, it's just…"
"Hiroki lost his life protecting an overseas government VIP in London. I know I've told you this before."
"That's right…"
"Is there something you're not satisfied with?"
"No… I was just thinking about the fact that he died protecting other people." I then sighed. "Sorry…" I got up and started to head back to my room.

Inoue Residence, Odaiba District, Minato Ward, Tokyo, Japan. December 25th, 2002. 2014 Hours.
P.O.V. – Miyako Inoue

I put down my bowl of food after I finished eating. Going almost all day without much food is something I don't like to do.
"Thanks for the meal!" I shouted.
"Are you done with dinner?" Chizuru asked me as she looked up from the book she was reading. "Can you go call Dad and Sis then?"
"Okay." I got up and got dressed to go outside. I then quickly ran over to the store and opened the door. "Dad! Sis! Dinner's ready!"
"Okay." Momoe told me before I walked back out and stretched.
"It's so peaceful…" I said to myself. "It's like what happened this afternoon didn't happen.

Yagami Residence, Odaiba District, Minato Ward, Tokyo, Japan. December 25th, 2002. 2224 Hours.
P.O.V. – Hikari Yagami

It was a nice Christmas night before we got a call from Takeru and found out through Phil about the strange man, Yukio Oikawa, and how he somehow knew about all that had just happened. Could it be possible? Could he be the man we were looking for? The one controlling Archnemon and Mummymon? We all decided that wasn't probably true. How could a human control those cruel monsters? But, it cause out discussion to be changed to what we had a feeling was coming. Archnemon and Mummymon must have a new plan they're working on… and we might have to go further than we have before.

"What are you going to do?" Taichi asked as we talked in my dark room; only illuminated by my small desk light.
"Well…"
"This isn't over yet."
"Those two are not going to go quietly and we know it." added Ross.
"I know." I nodded.
"Even if Daisuke and the others are willing to fight, they've only destroyed Evil Rings and Spirals so far." Taichi continued.
"They've also destroyed the Dark Tower Digimon…"
"They looked like Digimon, but they were just transformed Dark Towers." Agumon said.
"Yeah. That's why they could defeat them without hesitating." agreed Taichi.

"What about Ken-kun and Daisuke-kun with Chimairamon and Chocomon…" I continued to argue.
"You're right about it there… but can Miyako and Iori do the same thing they did?" Guilmon asked.
"I told them during that fight at the dam that they'll come to a choice about destroying a Digimon. It remains to be seen though…" Ross sighed.
"It could be like three years ago…" Taichi darkly stated which caused me to tense up. "The time will come when they have to fight in order to destroy a Digimon for real."
"Archnemon and Mummymon are still somewhere in this world, right?" Tailmon questioned.
"Yeah. We'll have to be prepared."

P.O.V. – Osamu Ichijouji

"Good night." I told Mom and Dad as I headed to bed, Ken was already going to sleep in his room. I then headed for my room and got ready before I eventually crawled into bed. "Good night, Monodramon." I said as I rolled over.
"Good night, Osamu-chan." I tried to sleep for a bit but my mind was still thinking about that shadow that I saw before.
"It bothers me…" I quietly muttered to myself.
"Osamu-chan… what's wrong?" Monodramon asked in concern.
"No, it's nothing." I smiled and assured him. "Let's sleep. You must be tired."
"Just a bit." He yawned as he fell on his back to sleep. "Good night, Osamu-chan." He said once more.
"Good night." I closed my eyes.

A desert. An all too familiar desert and a monster that fell dead before Ken and myself. These were more memories of our previous journey… but ones that I completely forgotten.
"We did it, Ken-chan!" "We won, Osamu-chan!" Wormmon and Monodramon cheered for what they just accomplished. The monster soon disintegrated into data and I soon saw something strange flying towards us from it in the sandstorm we got caught in.
"Watch out, Ken!" I shouted as I pushed Ken out of the way of those things; just to feel something hit my neck and shoot searing pain throughout my body. "Augh!" I screamed out in pain.
"Onii-san! Ahhh!" Ken cried out before he shouted too.

"Augh!" I screamed as I woke back up and stood straight up.
"Osamu-chan, what's wrong!? Get a hold of yourself!" Monodramon patted me on the back to try and calm me down after my scare.
"A dream?" I questioned as I panted to get some air back.
"Did you have a nightmare?" I turned to look at him.
"Monodramon…"
"What is it?"
"Something… did something happen towards the end of that adventure we had two years ago? When we first met?"
"Yes… yes it did."
"Back then, did I injure my neck?" I rubbed it and didn't feel anything wrong with it. Monodramon looked guilty.
"I remember that. I was really worried about you because I thought you were going to die… Ken-chan too." Huh? What did he mean by Ken?

"I… I can barely remember what happened towards the end."
"What about it?"
"Well, I'd like to fill in the gaps and try to find out what exactly happened, you know? Maybe figure out how I ended up becoming the Kaiser… what happened to me after that?"
"You recovered from the injury and you and Ken-chan returned to this world."
"Is that all?"
"Do you remember something else?" I shook my head.
"Not really… most of the journey has become clear… but the ending of it… perhaps the key to solving all it… it still remains in a hazy." I then nodded. "Yeah, I know it must be."

P.O.V. – Third Person

On the cool morning of December 26th, the Chosen Children were all relaxing after their long day of work on Christmas. At Daisuke's apartment, he was eating some jelly toast as he was watching the news.
"We reported on the strange phenomena regarding the appearance of monsters around the world." The reporter said. "On other news… several elementary school students in the Tokyo area went missing yesterday afternoon." As soon as that was said, Daisuke dropped his toast. He wasn't the only one as many of the other Chosen were watching the news as well. "Police are investigating whether or not this is related to any other cases."
"Children are missing!?" Osamu jumped out of his seat.
"We hope they are safe…"
"It is worrisome."
"Osamu-chan?" Ruki tried to get her son's attention. "What's wrong? You're pale."
"It's nothing." He muttered as Ken and Ruki stared at him. "Why? Why do I feel so uneasy?" He thought to himself.
"Osamu-chan…"

Meanwhile out in Tokyo Bay, there was a much more cheerful event going on. A large boat was sailing along with small wedding bells as a young newlywed couple had their wedding on the boat as it went under the Rainbow Bridge. However, the happy mood was quickly derailed when a large geyser of water shot up next to the large ship. The bride screamed as the water came down to reveal a large bipedal demon with two large octopus like arms on his back. This was MarinDevimon and he looked very similar to his namesake. The passengers on the boat were in a panic as nearby traffic stopped and looked out to the bay, including Hiroaki as he too was in the area.
"What is that?" He questioned. He knew in a heartbeat it was a Digimon but not what it exactly was. "This is terrible…" He then quickly picked up his cell phone to pass word to Yamato and the rest of the Chosen.

"It's from Yamato-san." Daisuke said as he read off Yamato's message on his D-Terminal. At the same time, traffic in the city was going as normal but for drivers in a tunnel in East Ginza would soon have problems as a large swarm of bats soon filled the tunnel and caused multiple spin outs and crashes as the air was filled with the sick laughter of LadyDevimon who was standing on a tall light pole.
"Ishida-san!" Chioka ran up to Hiroaki. "It looks like something appeared in East Ginza too!"
"What?" MarinDevimon was in the bay, LadyDevimon was in East Ginza, and in Ginza, crowds of people were running from the third dark Digimon that was invading. The Digimon was a large red skeletal monster with a staff in his hand, almost as if he was the physical embodiment of the Red Death. SkullSatamon chuckled at the massed horde of people that ran away screaming from him.
"Ishida-san, in Ginza too!" Chioka told Hiroaki as they were in the van and driving towards the Ginza area. Hiroaki picked up his phone and started to text the additional information to his son. "Who are you e-mailing?"

The boat in the bay returned to the docks fast and people were trying to get off of it in a hurry as MarinDevimon was approaching it. Takeru and Iori were running in a dead sprint right towards the bay with their Digimon.
"Armadimon, Armor-Evolve! Whirling Sincerity, SABMARIMON!"
"Patamon, evolve! ANGEMON!" The two Digimon went straight after the titanic sea demon with Angemon engaging from the air and Sabmarimon from the sea. "Heaven's Knuckle!"
"Submarine Attack!" Both their attacks did little and the giant octopus arms swatted them away.
"He's strong…" Angemon groaned as he shook off the pain.

"Harpoon Vulcan!" MarinDevimon turned and took Ikkakumon's attack right to the face.
"Ikkakumon!" Angemon cheered as the large walrus Digimon swam forward and glowed.
"Ikkakumon, super-evolve! ZUDOMON!"
"Go, Zudomon!" cried Jou as he ran up next to Takeru and Iori.
"Hammer Spark!" Zudomon jumped out of the bay waters and dived down on the evil Digimon. MarinDevimon blocked the attack, made a strange noise then dived back into the waters.
"After him, Angemon!" Takeru ordered.
"Wait, Takeru-kun." Jou tried to stop him. "Let's rescue the people in the boat first." They looked to the crowd running off the ship and nodded.

In East Ginza, Angewomon and Aquilamon were flying fast towards LadyDevimon who stood on the light post.
"I've been waiting." She taunted as she saw the two Digimon approaching. "Darkness Wave!" Bats that were on fire flew out and struck Aquilamon and sent him crashing into the ground.
"Aquilamon!" Miyako cried out to him as he slid right up to Miyako and Hikari.
"Stay away! It's dangerous!" He warned.
"Aquilamon!" Angewomon also cried before LadyDevimon grabbed her hair and pulled hard.
"Don't try to show off." She taunted once more.
"What did you say?" History soon repeated itself as Angewomon slapped LadyDevimon in the face only for the witch to respond back with a slap as well before the two of them devolved into a slap fight.

While the angel and fallen angel were focused on each other, WereGarurumon, Garudamon and Lilimon soon approached the area of the fighting. LadyDevimon soon noticed this.
"Bah, what a pain!" She then suddenly teleported away.
"Where did she go?" Aquilamon questioned.
"Daisuke and the others are over there!" Miyako cried out.
"Let's hurry!" Hikari added.

P.O.V. – Ken Ichijouji

"Who the hell is that?" Daisuke questioned as Paildramon, MegaloGrowmon, MetalGreymon, Strikedramon and AtlurKabuterimon surrounded this skeleton Digimon that was terrorizing the area.
"One of Archnemon's allies?" I questioned. The skeleton just chuckled as he looked around at the opponents that faced him. He charged at Paildramon and jumped up right in front of him before coming back down with his staff and striking him.
"Paildramon!" Daisuke called out as the skeleton landed right by the clock tower at the Wako department store that read it was five minutes to noon. He then jumped back down and stuck at AtlurKabuterimon and knocked him down.
"AtlurKabuterimon!" cried Koushiro. He continued to move fast before easily dealing with MegaloGrowmon and Strikedramon.
"MegaloGrowmon!" "Strikedramon!" Both Ross and Osamu shouted for their Digimon partners. He then landed on MetalGreymon's arm and jumped up, upper cutting his jaw.
"MetalGreymon!" Now, Taichi was the one to cry for his partner.

That skeleton just laughed as he positioned himself at the clock once more.
"He's different from the Digimon we've seen so far." Daisuke muttered.
"Different from the Digimon we've seen…" Osamu turned to him. "He's not one of Archnemon's allies? Then what…"
"There's someone else other than Archnemon?" I asked.
"It's possible. After all, he's amazingly strong. Too strong. But he's not a Dark Tower Digimon and isn't controlled by a Ring or Spiral either. What's going on here?"
"I'll tell you what it is. That's a pure evil Digimon we're dealing with…" Ross growled.
"He's right! You can't think!" Taichi shouted as he and Koushiro ran across the street to us. "If we hesitate, we lose!"
"Okay…" Daisuke turned his attention back to the Digimon. "In that case, it's like Chimairamon and Chocomon again. Paildramon, evolve!"
"Paildramon, ultimate-evolve! IMPERIALDRAMON!"

"Ultimate-Level…" The skeleton said. He jumped up and that yellow orb on his staff glowed. "Nail Bone!" It struck Imperialdramon who started to glow a dark purple aura.
"Imperialdramon, what's wrong?" Daisuke called out.
"Imperialdramon?" I called with him.
"What just happened?" muttered Taichi.
"It seems Imperialdramon's data was destroyed by the attack." Koushiro theorized.
"What!?" All of us questioned. He then pulled out his laptop.
"SkullSatamon… Perfect-Level Digimon… oh, no! He's like an energy vampire! He's leeching off the strength of our Digimon to make himself stronger!"
"Imperialdramon…" Daisuke looked back at our Digimon. SkullSatamon just continued to chuckle before he saw everybody else coming over to our position.

"Daisuke!" Miyako waved as she, Hikari, Yamato and Mimi were being held in Garudamon's hands while Sora was riding on her head.
"Daisuke-san!" Iori shouted as from the other end came Takeru, Jou and Iori who were on Ankylomon's back.
"Here they come…" SkullSatamon gave out a glee of sick joy.
"You guys!" Daisuke waved back.
"Be careful!" I quickly warned. "He's different from our previous enemies!" The warning didn't do much good as SkullSatamon went after Miyako's group first and defeated most of them fast, causing WereGarurumon and Lilimon to devolve back to their Child forms after he hit them with his Nail Bone attack. Garudamon put the others down quickly before SkullSatamon reached her.
"Nail Bone!" The attack hit and she devolved back to Piyomon, leaving Aquilamon and Angewomon as the only evolved Digimon to fight him.

"Imperialdramon! Please move!" Daisuke tried to get the large Digimon to move once more but nothing was getting through it seems. SkullSatamon then turned to Iori's group that was dropped rapidly, leaving Ankylomon and HolyAngemon in pain while he used his Nail Bone attack on Zudomon who became Gomamon once more. He then returned back to our group to deal with our Digimon that were getting back up.
"Nail Bone!" The light from the staff flashed again and left Agumon, Tentomon and Guilmon on the ground once more.
"Why did we turn back?" Tentomon questioned.
"We still have the power we got from Qinglongmon…" Guilmon said as we all grouped up at the center of the large intersection.
"What happened, everyone?" Taichi inquired loudly for an answer.
"I have no idea, Taichi…" Agumon told him.

"Where did our enemy go?" Miyako questioned.
"I don't know!" Iori exclaimed. We got our answer when we heard the laughter again and saw down the fourth part of the intersection and saw SkullSatamon floating with a bus full of children in his hands!
"Let's see… what should I do with this bus?"
"Damn it… at a time like this!" Taichi growled as we were in trouble.
"Why did we turn back to Child-Level?" Agumon questioned.
"Imperialdramon! Wake up, please!" Daisuke begged.
"I've got it… he's an energy vampire and has just been draining off our Digimon… he targeted most of the stronger ones just to increase his own power… and now they're pretty low on energy at the moment." Koushiro informed. "We need to get them to restore their energy levels! They'll be in danger if we keep them here in the fighting for now so we need to send them back to the Digital World!"

"Well then, what should I do?" SkullSatamon got our attention once again. Koushiro opened his laptop and activated the program.
"Digital Gate, open!" Miyako held up her D-3 and opened the gate.
"Everybody, hurry up!" We turned and watched the Child Digimon walk towards Imperialdramon.
"Guys, let's give the rest of the energy we've got and give it to Imperialdramon!" advised Agumon. Bright lights shined out of them and went towards Imperialdramon. He then glowed once that happened.
"It's useless." SkullSatamon taunted.
"Us too." HolyAngemon agreed and the rest of the Digimon did the same but Imperialdramon still didn't move.
"What a pity…"
"Please! Move!" I nearly screamed.
"Imperialdramon!" Daisuke shouted to the heavens.

Suddenly, Imperialdramon's eyes lit up red before he glowed once again.
"Imperialdramon, Mode Change! Fighter Mode!" We were taken aback by Fighter Mode. He now was bipedal with his cannon on his wrist and looking less like a dragon and more like a dragon-man.
"Imperialdramon transformed…" I muttered in awe.
"We leave the rest to you!" Agumon and the rest of the Child-Level Digimon returned back to the Digital World while remaining Digimon devolved back to their normal levels.
"Do our part!" Tailmon said to Imperialdramon. He turned his attention to SkullSatamon.
"Yeah, so what?" Imperialdramon just ignored his words and charged up his cannon.
"Positron Laser!" The attack shot out and tore right through SkullSatamon, vaporizing half of his chest and all of his head before the rest of his body disintegrated a moment later. The bus then fell but was caught by Imperialdramon who gently put it back down on the ground.

"He's gone…" Miyako muttered.
"We destroyed him." Iori said.
"We destroyed our enemy…" I nodded, not feeling to great about it.
"But if we hadn't, the kids in that bus…" Daisuke informed about why we had to do it.
"Remember what I said when we fought Golemon." Ross spoke up. "Kill or be kill. That's what it comes down to with evil Digimon like him." We turned and looked at him before Daisuke, Osamu and myself nodded. Miyako and Iori still looked conflicted though, and Hikari and Takeru had some sad looks on their faces.
"That time has finally come…" Hikari sadly stated.
"Daisuke!" "Ken-chan!" V-mon and Wormmon came running for us.

"Not bad, Chosen Children." A dark voice stated behind the two of them. A dark purple portal opened from the street and rising out of it was a red-cloaked figure with glowing purple eyes, two horns in his head and black wings.
"Who are you!?" Taichi demanded.
"Ichijouji Osamu, will you come with me?" Our eyes widen when we heard that.
"What? Why do you need Osamu?" Daisuke got in the way.
"You have something in your body that we need."
"What?" Osamu questioned. I then saw him rubbing the back of his neck.
"Ichijouji Ken would work just as well, truth be told…" My blood ran cold as he turned his gaze towards me. I then felt something strange creeping on the back of my neck and ran my hand back there too. "Still, the pure one would be better. If you don't want more victims, come with me."

"Touch luck!" A box truck drove right in front of us and stopped, revealing Mummymon as the driver and Archnemon who was hanging on the back.
"Who are you?" The cloaked monster questioned.
"I don't need to tell you. Ichijouji Osamu, you're coming with us."
"What?!" He exclaimed.
"You don't care about these kids?" She opened up the truck door… and in it was a bunch of elementary kids; the same ones that the news reported!
"So you're the kidnappers!?" Daisuke roared at them.
"Oh, don't put it like that. They followed us of their own will."
"Why…" Osamu muttered. "Why would they?"
"Oh, I wonder… I'll tell you eventually if you come with us… or do you want your dear little brother to volunteer for you?" What the hell are they talking about with me and Osamu!?

Osamu growled before he started taking steps forward!
"Onii-san!" "Osamu-chan!" "Ken!" "Don't go!" Wormmon, Monodramon, Ross and myself all cried for him to stop what he was doing.
"Stay there." He ordered as he looked at Archnemon before climbing on board.
"Are you opposing the forces of darkness?" The cloaked figure asked.
"Of course not, why would I think of fighting the great Demon?" I'm guessing his name is De-mon. "I'm just completing my mission.
"Osamu-chan!" "Onii-san!" Monodramon and I kept yelling as the door closed and we watched as the truck drove away.
"Let's see what you can do…" Demon growled before sinking into the ground. I soon started to run after the truck with Monodramon and Wormmon beside me.
"Onii-san! Onii-san! Onii-san!" I screamed before I tripped and fell forward onto the ground.

I looked up and watch the truck drive away and vanish with no chance of catching up with it…

Well, this isn't good, is it?

I think you can all finally figure out the one card I kept to my chest with this story, but I'll love to hear your ideas about what's going on... the stuff that isn't originaly from the show I mean.

Anyways, take care, and see you next time... much soon than before. It's good to be free from college for the semester.

"Push the button, Frank.
