In the dark regions of the city, there was a destroyed building where the Matsuki Bakery once stood.
And standing before it was Takato and Guilmon, both had solemn expressions on their faces as Takato then put a flower on the ruins of the building.
"This is where it all began, Guilmon. From the moment I created you..." Takato said.
Guilmon only nodded silently, as he too remembered those dark times.
'Mother... father... I swear we will find them at all cost...' Takato thought sadly.
However Takato then he sensed a familiar presence, making him call out. "Guilmon!"
Guilmon looked up to see a small fireball headed his direction, but just moved his head to the side, easily avoiding the attack.
"A sneak attack? I know you could do better than that, Impmon." Guilmon called out, causing a certain purple Digimon leap out and confront the pair.
"Damn. I was hoping that would work." Impmon snarled.
"Impmon, did you come all the way out here just for a rematch?" Takato asked in an unimpressed tone, before he stated. "You're no better than Ryo and Cyberdramon."
"Oh, this isn't about hatred. It's about being the strongest for me. Besides, you're the ones who spared my life remember?" Impmon asked back, making Guilmon say. "Because we know you can change, like BlackRenamon did."
"Well I am not letting you two walk away again. Accept my challenge!" Impmon called as he got into his fighting stance.
"May as well..." Takato sighed.
With his Tamer's approval, Guilmon smirked and cracked his knuckles.
"Sure. Let's see if you have improved." The red dragon Digimon said as he got up from his spot and went into a fighting pose too.
At this, both Digimon charged and slammed their fists to each other.
This created a shockwave of wind that brushed over an unworried Takato, who continued to watch as Impmon then tried to exchange punches and kicks that were all blocked out by Guilmon's quick speed and reflexes.
Seeing close range wasn't working, Impmon then leapt back and threw a fireball at Guilmon, only for the bearer of the Digital Hazard mark to smack the sphere of flames back at Impmon with his tail.
As the fireball headaed back, Impmon managed to dodge the attack, before ducking quickly as Guilmon had began to fire back with his Pyro Sphere attack.
While Impmon continued to avoid Guilmon's shots, Takato thought. 'I can tell Impmon has defiantly improved, but Guilmon has been training throughout his whole life so he doesn't know how to give up.'
-Meanwhile-
As Guilmon and Impmon remained in combat, it was far more peaceful with Rika and Renamon, who were heading back home.
"Relax. No one will find us here." Rika reassured her naked Digimon partner.
"I hope so because I have nothing to cover myself with. I'm always exposing myself." Renamon replied, still desiring to get the chance to wear anything as elegant as Rika would dress in.
"But you're used to it on TV." Rika said in reply.
But before Renamon could reply, the pair stopped and looked in shock and confusion as a grey mist started coming out from the alleyway.
Confused, Rika asked. "What's that?"
"I don't know, but it's heading straight for us!" Renamon panicked in reply as the mist then covered and consumed them.
-Back to the battle-
Impmon skidded back, getting frustrated while Guilmon just stood in place with a calm expression on his face.
"Damn you! You're not even trying are you?" Impmon snarled.
Takato smiled at this.
"Should I be? You have improved. But you need more than frustration and anger to win this fight." Guilmon commented in reply, making Impmon snap. "Oh yeah? Speak for yourself! You would get angry and frustrated if you go against them!"
Takato and Guilmon frowned at this.
"Then in that case, we'll have to control our anger when we do confront them." Guilmon replied.
"THEN TRY IT!" Impmon shouted as he leapt up and kicked Guilmon in the neck.
But to Impmon's shock, the attack had no effect, making him say in a shocked tone. "It... it can't be... I put everything I had in that kick!"
"Guilmon, I think we should end this now. Digi Modify. Power activate!" Takato said as he then swiped a DigiCard through the side of his D-Power.
Guilmon felt stronger, before he dashed forward and slammed his fist into Impmon's stomach, causing his rival to gasp in pain and fall to his knees.
Clutching his stomach as he tried to get up, Guilmon stared down at Impmon and told him. "It seems it's over."
"I'd say." Came a voice from above.
The three looked up to see a black furred Renamon, who had smaller breasts compared to Renamon's and wore red gloves, leap down from the buildings, where she landed by Impmon's side and then helped him up.
"BlackRenamon..." Impmon groaned as he sat up again. "I'd almost had him."
"Hmph. I wish" BlackRenamon smirked.
"Long time no see BlackRenamon." Takato said as he and Guilmon approached the pair.
"Yes. It has been a while my friends." BlackRenamon said, before she told the pair. "It's thanks to you two that I am allowed to go around with my free will."
Curious, Takato asked BlackRenamon in all seriousness. "So you find any clues?"
"No... I cannot find them in the Real World, but I'll keep searching for you two." BlackRenamon replied, before the dark furred vixen suggested. "Maybe I better take Impmon with me as a training partner."
"Good idea. Under your guidance he could be an excellent fighter. Had to say, he nearly had me." Guilmon said in reply.
"Nearly?" Laughed BlackRenamon, before a familiar feeling overcame her.
"A Digi-Field has been opened!" BlackRenamon called out.
"Then a stronger Digimon could appear." Guilmon said, looking in the direction where Rika and Renamon were.
"Let's go!" Takato commanded as the four made their way to the site, unaware someone had been monitoring their battle.
-Back at Henry's company-
"They are good" Terriermon said, for he and Henry had saw everything.
"Yes but they are heading to the Digital Field. And now we will get to them. Prepare the teleporter. We're heading out" Henry instructed, which made Jeri nod in reply.
"As you wish." She replied, hoping Henry would be able to get what he wanted and not get harmed in the process.
