Well, here's episode 2, now~ Initially, it may seem like it doesn't have much to do with episode 1, but either at the end of this or in episode 3, they'll tie together. Alright? Okay. And it was brought to my attention that Renamon is a Data Type, not a Vaccine. Let's just... overlook that and pretend she's like BlueMeramon, which can be one of two types. Let's get on with the show, then~

Hana: "Apparently, viruses have become intelligent and rampaging through the internet. The government's been trying to find a way to fight them, but they kept evolving. So they decided to send some teens into the internet. I, along with these two girls, Kiira and Yumi, were sent into the internet and given some antivirus programs. Turns out, they were called Digimon, and both they and the viruses were from a place called the Digital World. Now we, along with our partners, have to get rid of all these viruses. Who knows what could happen if we fail?"


Miyuki Otori sat on her bed, staring at her computer. She had tried turning it on a few minutes ago, but all that happened was the appearance of the blue screen of death. Due to what she'd heard from her friends at school, she had a feeling some sort of computer virus was behind it. A lot of her friends had been shut out of their computers by different kinds of viruses.

Some hacker somewhere was having a little too much fun...

'Well, there goes my history paper," she muttered falling back to lay on her bed. She didn't really mind not having to do schoolwork, but it was an extra credit paper. She was currently failing history, and this paper could help her pass. One of the criteria was that it had to be typed. It was due the next day, but with the death of her computer and her dad's work that required his laptop, she didn't really have the opportunity. She'd have to talk to the teacher and ask for an extension...

She put a hand to her face. It was too bad her other dad was on a business trip. She would have been able to use his laptop. But, as it was, she was out of luck.

"Now what?" she asked the empty room, taking to staring at the ceiling. She'd decided to work on her paper because she had nothing better to do. She'd finished the book she'd been reading, and the library was closed, so she couldn't get another one. Her dads' books were all about philosophy and graphic art design. There were a few interesting fiction novels hidden amongst the scholarly works, but she had read all of them multiple times. "Why can't something exciting happen in my life for once?"

Almost in answer to her question, her dead computer mysteriously started glowing. Sitting back up, she stared at it, mesmerized. This was unexpected. The blue screen turned white, and a transparent figure in a green hooded robe appeared.

Okay, I was bored enough to fall asleep, she thought. That hadn't happened to her often, but it was definitely possible.

"You are not asleep, Miyuki," the figure said in a sage-like male voice. She stared for a moment before pinching herself.

"Ow!" she hissed. "Okay, if you're real, then what the hell? Who are you?"

"I am someone who needs your help," the figure stated.

"My help?" she asked. She'd always been a particularly average person, if not slightly less than that. The only thing she really had going for her was her instincts. She just got feelings about things, and they were usually right.

"Yes," the figure told her, holding out a hand. "Come with me."

"Uh, I really shouldn't go anywhere with a stranger, especially some random person that came out of my computer," the brunette told him, putting her hands in the pocket of her sleeveless hoodie.

The figure sighed. "We do need your help," he told her. "This is something that only you can do."

Miyuki looked back at her bedroom door. "Look, my dad would be seriously worried if I just disappeared..."

"He will understand once you return," the figure informed her. "We need you in order or save the internet."

"Save the internet?" she asked, incredulous. This guy couldn't be serious. "Alright, what is that supposed to mean?"

"I am sure you are aware of the viruses that are ruining computers nationwide," he informed her. She nodded in response. "These are no normal viruses. They are beings known as Digimon, who have made their way from their own world into your internet. For now, they have focused their assaults on Japan, but if this is left unchecked, they will spread to the rest of the world."

"And you need my help to stop these viruses?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes," the figure said. "I can transport you inside the internet. You will then be able to join a Digimon to form a team in which you will be able to combat the viruses."

Miyuki glanced toward her door again. Surely if they needed her this bad... her dads would understand, right? And her gut was telling her that this would be the right decision.

"Alright," she finally agreed after a long moment of thought. "Let's get on with this, then." The next thing she knew, she was engulfed in a light, her vision filled with white.

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a long black tunnel with bright green zeros and ones flying past her. This must be the internet.

"Alright, so I'm here," she said loudly, hoping that the figure would reappear and explain what she needed to do a little more. No luck. As soon as she spoke, however, a small light appeared in front of her. Curious, she reached out to grab it, and as soon as she touched it, it turned into a small blue box, falling into her hand. The top half of the box was a darker blue, while the bottom half was a little light. A black line, almost like a stitch, ran across the top under the design of a small white skull.

"Okay, what's this supposed to do?" she muttered to herself. She decided to open it, and once she did and revealed the blue orb inside, small specks flew out of it, forming a round creature about the size of a bowling ball with large yellow eyes, black furred legs, a mask that matched the top of her box in design and tattered blue wings. "Uh... hi."

"Hey," the creature said. "The name's DemiDevimon. You must be my new human partner."

"Yeah," she agreed in a slightly disbelieving tone. "I'm Miyuki." Without warning, a holographic image of DemiDevimon appeared above the orb.

"Name: DemiDevimon. Classification: Virus. Threat: None."

The girl stared at he box as it spoke the words in a mechanical sounding female voice. "Alright..." The words sunk in. "Wait a minute... You're a virus? But aren't those, you know, bad here?"

"Usually," DemiDevimon replied. "But I don't really like the way they're doing things. Why do we need your internet, anyway? The Digital World, our home, is good enough. We're probably only hurting this place by being here."

"That's right," Miyuki told him. "A lot of the computers out in the Real World are getting screwed up."

"You guys don't deserve that," DemiDevimon informed her. "Maybe that's why I'm your partner," he mused.

"Well, this will definitely be interesting," the human commented offhandedly. "So, what can you tell me about all this, so I'm not walking in here completely blind?"

"Well, we're all called Digimon," her new partner stated. "We come from a place called the Digital World, but for some reason, a lot of Digimon have traveled here, to your internet. I don't know why. And it looks like all the other Virus Digimon want to take over your internet. See, there are three type of Digimon: Virus, Data, and Vaccine. Like your Digivce said, I'm a Virus Type."

"Digivice? You mean this thing?" Miyuki asked, holding up the box, which had once again closed.

"Yeah," DemiDevimon said. "It helps you store a bunch of data, but I don't know what kind yet. I'm pretty sure it's also what connects us as partners. A long time ago, there were these humans that partnered with Digimon, and they were called Digi-Destined. Their Digivices were kind of proof of that."

"So does that make me a Digi-Destined, too?" she asked.

"I don't know, maybe," the Digimon replied, unsure. "How'd you get here, anyway?"

"Some dude in a green robe appeared out of my computer, if you'll believe that," the brunette replied, shaking her head. "It was weird."

"I can imagine," DemiDevimon agreed.

"So, now what do we do?" Miyuki asked. "I mean, how do we go about this whole 'save the internet' thing?"

"No clue."

"Oh, you're a lot of help," the human said, rolling her eyes. Her Digivice beeped. "What does that mean?"

"I don't know, open it," the Virus said. She did so.

A holographic image of a child-like creature with red and green eyes sewed onto a fabric that covered almost its entire head appeared above the Digivice, much like when DemiDevimon appeared. "Name: Dracmon. Classification: Virus. Threat: Minimal."

"What the hell...?" Miyuki muttered before a very real version of the hologram dropped down in front of her. "So this is like some identifier?"

"Must be," DemiDevimon said, placing himself between his new partner and the Dracmon. "But let's worry about that later. For now, let's just focus on taking this thing down."

"I'm with you on that, but... how?"

"Leave that to me," the Digimon said. A large syringe appeared, being held by one of his legs like a hand. "Demi Dart!" he yelled, hurling it at the other Digimon. The syringe embedded itself into Dracmon, causing it to falter in its movements. Miyuki was about to cheer when it stood again, albeit a bit shaky.

"Undead Fang!" it yelled, diving at DemiDevimon, determined to exact revenge while it could. It could feel the effect of the dart draining its energy, but if it was going down, it was taking this traitorous Virus down with it.

DemiDevimon tried to escape, but found that he wasn't able to move quite fast enough, Dracmon latching onto his wings with the teeth on its hands. He desperately flapped his wings in an attempt to shake his opponent off. "Dammit!" he yelled, irritated.

Miyuki bit her lip, trying to figure out some way to help her new partner. "Hey!" she yelled, thinking on her feet. "Over here, you undead whackbag!" The Virus looked up, staring at her for a moment before throwing DemiDevimon to the side. It approached her with slow, calculated movements. Suddenly, she wondered if that was such a smart idea.

"Eye of Nightmare!" it yelled, pushing its arms out to watch her with the eyes on its hands. A feeling low in her stomach told her to cover her eyes, so she threw her arms over them, blocking her sight.

"Demi Dart!" DemiDevimon yelled, finally righting himself and hurling a large syringe at Dracmon. She heard it stumble and uncovered her eyes to see it staring her in confusion, though it had been brought down to its knees.

"Thanks, DemiDevimon!" she called out.

"Hey, anytime!" the Rookie called back, diving at his opponent. "Demi Devi Claw!" He dove forward, almost like a bird of prey, claws forward, latching onto Dracmon's head. His claws tightened, finally causing the enemy Digimon to disappear into a burst of data. All that data flowed toward Miyuki's Digivice, which had opened again. The specks were then absorbed by orb inside.

"Okay..." she said, staring at it as the small box closed. "That was kind of weird." She paused. "Then again, I guess it would've just gone back out in the open and become another Virus, right?"

DemiDevimon nodded. "Yeah, probably." The human put her Digivice in her pocket for safe keeping.

"Do you think it's just us?" Miyuki asked. At the curious look her partner gave her, she said, "Trying to stop all this Virus stuff," she elaborated. "Do you think we're the only ones that are supposed to do this?"

"No, I heard some sort of rumor that there are three other humans in here somewhere," the Rookie told her. "Of course, I don't know where they are."

"That's helpful," the brunette said dryly. "We should probably try to find them, then. Strength in numbers, and all that."

DemiDevimon nodded, landing gently on her shoulder, keeping watchful of his claws so that he didn't hurt her. "Let's get started. Where to first?"

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

Yumi adjusted her glasses, staring around them. They'd been walking through this connection tunnel for what felt like hours. She was still fascinated by the fact that they were inside the internet, but she wanted to see something new. What did a website look like? Did they all look different? How would they find one?

"So, where exactly are we going?" Kiira asked Hana, their newly designated leader.

The blonde turned back to her. "Not sure, yet. Hopefully, if we just keep going, we'll find something useful." She looked at Renamon. "Do you have any ideas?"

The fox Digimon shook her head. "Unfortunately, we're just as new to this internet of yours as you are. I wish we could guide you, but..."

"We'd probably lead you into some kind of trap or something," Palmon said with a sigh. "So I guess we just... keep going, right?"

"Either we'll find something, or something will find us," Yumi commented.

"That's... one way to think about it," Labramon said.

Kiira glanced to the side. "Hey..." she began. "Do you guys see that?"

"What?" Hana asked, following her gaze. There was a slight ripple in the stream of binary. "What the hell is that?"

"There's only one way to find out," Labramon said, already making his way over to it. He touched a paw to it and a hole opened up, just large enough for them to pass through. He turned back to the group. "What do you think?"

The blonde looked from the other two girls to the hole. "It's this or the endless stream of zeros and ones." She shrugged and began walking toward it. The rest of the group followed.

They found themselves in what appeared to be a dense forest.

"Okaaaay," Kiira asked. "So, where are we?"

"My best guess?" Yumi asked. "We just entered a website. What site it is, I have no idea."

"The question now is, what do we do?" Palmon asked, looking around.

Hana was about to say something but the rustling of a bush caught her attention. She brought a finger to her lips to keep the others from saying anything. A moment later, they heard it, too. The Digimon kept a watchful eye out, trying to assess if they were in any danger.

Almost as if in response to their silence, six figured dove from all sides, out of the bushes. Hana's box was the first to open.

"Name: Ninjamon. Classification: Data. Threat: Medium."

"What are you doing here?" one of the Ninjamon asked.

"How did humans get into the internet?" another asked.

Kiira was the first to respond. "Relax," she told them, holding her hands up in a placating manner. "We're here to help with this whole Virus problem."

"How do we know you aren't just forms created by the Viruses to attack us?!" the first Ninjamon asked.

"Ninja Knife Throw!" they all called, throwing shuriken at the girls and their partners.

"Poison Ivy!" Palmon yelled, batting two away.

"Get down!" Renamon ordered, and the humans did so. She turned back to the Ninjamon. "They aren't here to harm you, and neither are we. Kiira is right, all we want to do is remove the Viruses from the humans' internet and return to the Digital World."

But the Ninjamon didn't seem too convinced. One was about to throw another shuriken.

"Double Stars!"

Two shuriken on what appeared to be curled vines flew down, knocking the weapon from Ninjamon's hand before retreating up to the trees. A figure dropped in front of them, landing gracefully on his feet. The Ninjamon immediately backed off.

He almost looked like a ninja combined with a plant with arms ending in shuriken. "I apologize for the actions of the Ninjamon," he said, motioning to the aforementioned Digimon around them. "They are a bit wary of outsiders."

"Who's this guy?" Yumi asked before her Digivice opened.

"Name: Shurimon. Classification: Data. Threat: Medium."

Renamon smiled. "Thank you, Shurimon," she said. When Hana, Kiira, and Yumi looked at her curiously, she said, "Shurimon is a noble warrior, but fair. He won't attack for no reason, and won't let anyone else, if he can help it."

"I am this area's protector," Shurimon informed them. "I understand you are here to help us." Though they couldn't see his face, the smile was evident in his voice. "You have my thanks."

"Looks like every website has its own domain and protector," Labramon commented.

"What do you know about what's going on in here?" Hana asked Shurimon.

The Digimon sighed. "Everything was fine for a very long time in the Digital World. One day, however, Digimon began disappearing. We were taken from the Digital World to here, though we all arrived in the tunnel you no doubt came from. We all quickly scattered, finding our own domains."

"Thank you," Hana told him. "It might only be a little bit of information, but every little thing counts."

"You are welcome to stay as long as you like if you need to regain your strength," he offered.

"That sounds like a good idea," Kiira said. "We could use some time to get our thoughts together and plan our next move. And it would definitely be better to do it somewhere we know we're safe."

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

One of the Ninjamon led them to a large tree with a hollow trunk. It was easily big enough to fit the humans, their partners, and still have enough room to move around a little.

"We're sorry," he said, bowing his head. "It's just... We usually all stick to our own areas. And with the Viruses roaming the tunnels... Well, we assumed the worst."

"It's alright," Yumi said with a small smile. "You were just trying to defend your home."

Ninjamon smiled. "Thank you for understanding." And with that, he left.

"So, now what do we do?" Kiira asked. "The Viruses are in the tunnels, so do we just wander around there?"

Hana shook her head. "No. If anything, maybe we need to find a way to bring the Viruses to us."

"What do you mean?" Palmon asked.

"If we draw attention to ourselves," Renamon began, understanding where her partner was going. "Then maybe we can draw out whatever is causing all of this in the first place."

"Exactly," Hana said with a nod.

"That's great and everything," Yumi started. "But don't you think maybe we need to get stronger first? I mean, no offense, guys, but you're all just Rookies right now. How can we hope to take on whatever's causing all this? I mean, it's gotta be way stronger, probably a Mega, right?"

"To get all these Digimon to follow it, it has to be," Palmon told her partner with a nod.

Kiira looked outside to see it getting darker. "I think that we should really concentrate on getting some rest right now," she suggested. "It looks like it's getting late, and we can think with rested minds." She looked at their leader. "Sound good?"

Hana nodded. "Alright. Let's get some shut-eye. Good night, guys."

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

Shurimon sat in his primary lookout tree, one leg dangling from the branch. His gaze was to the sky, but he looked down once he saw dark movement. Perhaps it was just the Ninjamon... they did like to play night-tag.

Deciding to make sure, he dropped to the ground, searching for the shadow. Multiple figures stepped out of the trees. They were Ninjamon, but they seemed... different. Their red masks were dark maroon, and their eyes glowed red.

"Ninjamon," he began in a commanding tone. "What has happened?"

"You'll find out soon enough, sir," one of them said, grabbing a shuriken, which pulsed with dark energy.

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

Yumi couldn't sleep. Her mind was still racing with the excitement that they were inside the world wide web. This was what one website looked like. Were there others biomes, like mountains or deserts? What if some were underwater?

She sat up when she heard a branch snap. Eyeing the entrance to their tree, she gently nudged Labramon awake.

"What's up...?" he asked sleepily, rubbing his eyes.

"I think I heard something."

"Yumi, Ninjamon like the dark," he told her. "They're probably just wandering around."

The lavender-haired girl bit her lip. She wanted to believe that, but they couldn't be too careful. "Why don't we just go take a look?"

Labramon studied his partner. She looked seriously worried. It couldn't hurt to check... "Okay, let's go."

They left the tree, looking around. Everything was quiet. There was no wind, no rustling, no footsteps.

"Maybe I was just imagining things," Yumi said, about to turn around when she saw a large shadow behind her partner. "Labramon, look out!"

The Rookie turned, only to be batted to the side. The figure shot out twin shuriken, using them to pull the girl toward him. Those shuriken looked awfully familiar... "Shurimon?" she asked. Wasn't he supposed to be a good guy?

But now that she could see him more clearly, she saw the differences. His robes, which had once been white, were now black. The large leaves on his shoulders were now brown, and his arms, instead of being green, were red. This wasn't the Shurimon she knew.

"Double Stars!" he yelled, throwing Labramon back further before leaving, darting from tree to tree, Yumi in his arms.

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

Labramon raced back to the tree as fast as he could. "Wake up!" he yelled as soon as he got inside. "We have a huge problem!"

"What's going on...?" Kiira asked.

"Something happened to the Digimon here. Shurimon took Yumi!"

"But I thought you said Shurimon was okay," Hana said, looking to Renamon.

"He is..." the fox Digimon said. "Something isn't right."

Palmon looked back at Labramon. "Tell us exactly what happened."

"Okay," he said, taking a breath. "Yumi thought she heard something outside, so we went to take a look. It was really quiet and then Shurimon showed up out of nowhere and attacked! He looked different, and he grabbed Yumi and took off."

"What do you mean, looked different?" Kiira asked. "Different how?"

"His colors were all weird," the Rookie replied.

Hana thought for a moment. "The Digivice said Shurimon was a Data Type, right?" she asked. "We know Vaccines are immune to any kind of Virus, but... Do you think a Data Digimon could be infected and, you know, change?"

"Become evil, like a Virus?" Renamon asked. "I suppose it's possible."

"So what do we do?" Kiira asked.

Labramon turned, heading for the hole in the tree. "I don't know about you, but I'm going to save Yumi first."

"Right," Hana said. "Come on, let's go."

When they were only a few steps out of the tree, they were surrounded by the Virus-infected Ninjamon. "Ninja Knife Throw!"

"Poison Ivy!" Palmon yelled, trying to knock it away like she had earlier. The attack, however, seemed more powerful this time, pushing her back. "Okay, maybe we have even more of a problem..."

"Diamond Storm!" Renamon yelled as the small shards of light appeared around her. As soon as they hit their targets, the group took the opportunity to dash past them while the Ninjamon were still getting their bearings.

"We need to find Shurimon!" Labramon urged. He was looking around frantically. The more time it took them to find her, the more danger Yumi was in.

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

"Shurimon, what are you doing?" Yumi asked him as he jumped from tree to tree. "This isn't right!"

He looked down at her. "It is my job to rid this world of pests like yourself. But before that, you are still of use to me. You will draw your friends here to meet their fate, as well."

Yumi couldn't believe this was happening. She'd been so excited to find herself in the internet. At her computer was where she felt most at home. But now she was going to die here.

Shurimon finally stopped, bringing her near the top of a very tall tree and standing next to her, keeping watch both on her and for the rest of the Digi-Destined.

"What happened to you...?" she whispered. She looked down at the forest floor to see the Ninjamon darting around. They had looked different, too. This whole thing seemed sinister. Is this a Virus? she asked herself. If it was... how were they supposed to handle it? They got rid of the Viruses in the tunnels by destroying them. Shurimon and the Ninjamon were innocent. They couldn't do that to them... It just wouldn't be right.

"Let her go, Shurimon!" Hana yelled from the ground.

Despite his face being covered, Yumi imagined a twisted smile. "Exactly as I planned," he said, jumping down. Yumi was far too high up. She wasn't good at climbing trees, and she'd die if she tried to jump.

Hana looked up to see the trapped girl. She looked to Renamon. She knew her partner was quite agile, she could probably make it up there. "Hey, Renamon?" She nodded up to the tree. "Think you could get Yumi down?"

Renamon gave a single nod before jumping to a branch. She continued to ascend, much like Shurimon had when taking the human. Once she arrived, she offered Yumi a hand, which she took. Renamon helped her on her back before returning to see that Shurimon hadn't made his move yet. He appeared to be waiting for them to attack first.

"RetrieverG!" Labramon yelled. He would make Shurimon pay for taking his partner.

"Poison Ivy!" Palmon attacked, trying to hold him in place, though he quickly broke free and dodged Labramon's attack.

"Far too easy," he said. "Double Star!" The attack hit both Rookies, sending them flying back. He turned to Renamon.

"Diamond Storm!" she yelled. As her opponent batted away the attack, she said, "Shurimon, we know why you're doing this. A Virus infected you, but you have to fight it! This isn't you!"

"It's who I am now," he argued, diving for her, this time using his shuriken hands as melee weapons. The quick Rookie managed to dodge a few blows before taking a hit to the side. She was forced down to one knee, one hand to her injured side.

"Renamon!" Hana yelled. Her partner was injured, she had to do something!

Almost as if in response to her plea, her Digivice glowed. When it opened, data began pouring from the orb inside to the Rookie. Shurimon went to attack again but was forced to fall back as he was blinded by the light surrounding Renamon. She began to grow and change shape, and when the light faded, a yellow kitsune with blue flames tipping its tails stood in her place.

"Name: Kyubimon. Classificaton: Data. Threat: None."

"That must be Renamon's Champion form," Kiira whispered.

"Shurimon," Kyubimon began. "You were once a noble Digimon, but this Virus has corrupted you. I'm sorry, but I have to stop you." Her tails stood on end and the fire grew brighter. "Fox Tail Inferno!" she yelled, and the fireballs released, all aimed right at Shurimon.

The Digimon dodged, but one managed to hit his leg, making him wince when he landed. He attempted a battle stance, but it was clear he was weakened. "Double Star!" he yelled, aiming at her legs in an attempt to slow her movement as she had his.

Kyubimon, however, saw the attack coming and jumped at him, spinning in the air and becoming a wheel of blue fire. "Dragon Wheel!" she yelled, and what appeared to be a dragon's head made of fire rose from her form, hitting Shurimon. He fell to the ground.

The humans walked over to him. Kiira frowned as his data seemed to phase in and out.

"I'm sorry..." Hana said softly before her Digivice opened again. Data gathered from Shurimon's chest, yet he didn't seem to be losing any of his own. The bits of data were dark, and the flowed directly into her Digivice. Data from Kyubimon flowed inside, as well, and she turned back into Renamon. They watched Shurimon as his colors slowly returned to normal.

"It looks like whenever we defeat a Digimon infected with a Virus, it goes back to normal," Yumi observed, awed at the realization.

"We should see if the Ninjamon are okay," Palmon suggested and Kiira helped her up. Yumi did the same with Labramon.

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

With the protector of the site purified, the Ninjamon somehow were, as well. Apparently, the Virus connected to the protector.

"I'm very sorry for what happened," Shurimon apologized.

"Don't worry, it's not your fault," Hana reassured him. She sighed. "Thank you for letting us stay here, but we should probably get going." She gave a sad smile. "Maybe we'll see each other again sometime."

"Perhaps," Shurimon replied, a small smile evident in his voice.

The group waved behind them before heading back to the hole they'd arrived through.

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

Miyuki sighed, walking with her hands in her pockets, DemiDevimon still perched on her shoulder.

"So, what are we supposed to do, exactly?" the brunette asked. "I mean, we ran into one Virus. I mean, not that I want to keep running headfirst into battles, but... I'm pretty sure we're not doing what we're supposed to."

"Good question," the Rookie replied. "This tunnel's getting kind of boring... Maybe would could find somewhere else to go first?"

"And just how, pray tell, do we do that?" she asked with a raised brow. She stopped as she felt another pit in her stomach, but not nearly as strong as before. Turning, she saw a hole open in one of the walls. Three girls stepped out, each followed by a Digimon.

The group stared at her and DemiDevimon in silence for a moment. Finally, the blonde girl spoke.

"Who the hell are you?"

Next time:
Palmon: Be careful, that's DemiDevimon, he's a Virus!
Kiira: So, what do we do?
Hana: We take him out.
Miyuki: Wait! You've got us all wrong!
Labramon: Yumi!
Yumi: Not again!

Yep. This wound up longer than I planned. Hot damn! In case you were wondering about the Virus affecting the Ninjamon first but Shurimon being the core, they were basically carriers of the Virus. They had a toned down version, but when it spread to Shurimon, it became a lot stronger. Hence, when he was purified, the Ninjamon were, as well.

Also, I love this little cliffhanger, I've been planning it as soon as I started chapter two~

See ya on the flipside~ Elisa out~
