Chapter 10: Surprise

(For reference to MadLeomon wiki/MadLeomon)

Sora was the first to wake up, as usual when the alarm buzzed in the morning at ten. She had a slight headache from the night before and she was very groggy. Sora made her way over to the bathroom and hopped in the shower in hopes of clearing her head. Meanwhile, Tai was still snoring loudly face down in his pillow. When Sora shut the shower off, he finally awoke. Tai quickly hopped out of bed, planning something in his head. He stood at the corner of the door, waiting for Sora to open it. A few minutes later, the knob turned and Sora began walking out.

"HEY SORA!" Tai said, shouting. Sora screamed and fell onto the ground. Tai began laughing hysterically, but Sora wasn't laughing. She punched Tai square in the crotch and then proceeded to get up as he fell on the floor in pain.

"Yeah it's a lot funnier now, huh?" Sora said sarcastically and flipped Tai off. He just wailed in pain, and Sora just chuckled and got dressed. Eventually, Tai was able to stand again, and he made his way over to where Sora was sitting and drinking coffee.

"Well lesson learned: Never ever scare Sora again. Can I have coffee now? And an ice back if there's one?" Tai said with a groan, still in pain. Sora laughed and nodded. She handed him a cup of coffee and he sat and began to drink with her.

And then a loud crash was heard.

Sora and Tai sprang up, knowing that was bigger than a simple piece of furniture. They ran outside and saw Matt and Izzy running towards them.

"Tai, shit dude we gotta run!" Matt shouted and ran past them with Izzy. Tai and Sora followed, and they stopped when they reached the parking lots. The kids turned around to see what looked like Leomon, but something was obviously different.

"...Leomon? That can't be! He looks... Dead." Tai said, worriedly. Matt and Izzy agreed, and then just seemed to notice Sora.

"Wait Sora why are you here? But that doesn't matter where's Sam Tai? We gotta find him!" Izzy said, worried. Sora shook her head violently.

"I'm Sam! Ok? I wanted to go to school with you guys... I didn't wanna be alone. Sorry. But let's not focus on that right now!" Sora said quickly. Matt just smirked.

"That explains the hickies on both of you." He said bluntly. Sora grew red in the face but ignored it for now.

"Uh guys, does anyone know what that digimon even is?" Tai said, ignoring what everyone said about hickies.

"Well according to the digimon analyzer... That's MadLeomon. He is an undead version of Leomon, so you were right Tai. Hmm, it says MadLeomon is a digimon gone berserk and it has lost all of its intelligence in exchange for extreme combat skills. It's claws are pure poison and can cause anything to rot! Not to mention it doesn't even care who or what it runs into, it just destroys." Izzy explained and his face became pale.

"Guys, we need to get our digimon here somehow!" Sora said, worried. Izzy nodded.

"Well, we could try this new application Gennai sent to me. It opens up a digi-port with the use of our digivices. Only the digidestined with the D-3's could do it before, but now we can too!" Izzy said excitedly and opened the application.

"Digi-port, open!" Everyone said at once and pointed their digivices at the computer. Before they could be sucked into the digital world, things were thrown out of it. Agumon, Gabumon, Tentomon, and Biyomon all poured out of the port, much to the team's surprise.

"Oh Izzy thank goodness you opened that port! The digital world is a mess right now and I missed you." Tentomon said happily and hugged Izzy. All the digimon quickly reunited with their tamers, but Matt broke the silence.

"We're all glad you're here guys, but we could use your help in our world too." Matt said and pointed to MadLeomon who was wandering around smashing people's cars. All of the rookie digimon gasped and trembled with fear.

"Matt... There are digimon like that all over the digital world now..." Gabumon said, shaking from fear. The team gasped.

"So you're saying you don't know how to defeat them?" Tai said, angry.

"Well there are ways, but it is really hard to attack something that can kill you with one swipe of it's claw!" Biyomon said, looking worried.

"Plus Tai, any digimon that were poisoned became mad versions of themselves as well! There aren't that many normal digimon left anymore..." Agumon said, trailing off. Tai slammed his fist into a tree nearby.

"Shit well this is serious! We can't just leave him here, but I don't wanna risk losing you..." Tai said, very upset.

"... I think me and Biyomon might have a shot. Since she can fly as Birdromon, we can use aerial attacks until he gets weak enough. And you guys can use long distance attacks like Garurumon's Howling Blaster, Greymon's Nova Blast, and Kabuterimon's Electro Shocker. Just stay away from his arms! Sound like a plan?" Sora said, thinking extensively. Matt, Tai, and Izzy all looked impressed and nodded in agreement.

"Ok guys, you ready to digivolve?" The team said in unison.
