Disclaimer: I don't own digimon.
The host then starts walking away, "Hmmm, who should I have fight next," he thinks aloud, "I would say boyfriend and girlfriend, but the only couple I know of at the moment isn't here."
Sora turns around to see the host walking off, "Hey where are you going," she called out, "I thought you said you would change the winner back to normal after the fight."
The host stops and turns to look at Sora, "Hmmm," he said, "Let me say this, I lied. I was never planning on changing either of you back, I actually thought that the fight would last long enough to the point where both of you were completely turned into digimon and then neither of you could win. But I guess I was wrong and since you won the fight the changes have stopped where they are since only your arms about to your elbows and eyes have changed your still considered human."
"Why you," Sora said, "If I could just get my hands on you I'll..."
"You even try to attack me and the same thing will happen to you that happened to Tai," the host said cutting off Sora, "Oh yes I almost forgot to tell you, that you still have use of the abilities of the digimon that you have partially become, and every time you use one of the attacks it will slightly change you more into a Gabumon even though I said they have stopped."
Meanwhile we find Tai in a mysterious location, "Where am I," he asked.
Then a voice called out, "Welcome to the Digital under world Taichi Kamiya."
"Don't listen to him," another voice said, "He likes to do that when we get human visitors."
"As I asked before where am I," Tai said, "And who are you?"
"I'm surprised that you don't recognize my voice," the second voice replied, "But then again it has been awhile holder of the Crest of Courage."
"Why do you always have to ruin my fun," the first voice said.
"This isn't the time to be messing around," the second voice said, "We have a grave situation at the moment Zhuqiaomon."
"What happened," Agumon asked coming to, "And where are we?"
"Fine then Azulongmon," Zhuqiaomon said, "And everything we know about will be explained."
"Yes everything will be explained," Azulongmon said, "And this place is a place between the Digital world and the Real world that you are in at the moment."
"What do you mean by that," Tai asked, "I thought there was only one Digital world?"
"Yes there is only one," Zhuqiaomon said, "But it's divided into four different sectors that connect to separate worlds or as you would understand alternate dimensions."
"The thing is it will take about a week to show and explain everything to you," Azulongmon said.
"What!" Tai yelled, "But the others need my help and I need to stop the digimon doing all of this!"
"Calm down," Azulongmon said, "The sector that they are in only a day will pass while you are gone."
"Huh what do you mean," Tai asked confused.
"The digital world that you and your friends are in," Zhuqiaomon said, "While a day passes in there a whole week passes in your world."
"What!" Tai and Agumon shout, "All of us have been missing for about a week and a half from our homes."
"Actually you have been missing for two weeks," Azulongmon said, "Your sister Kari and the others started looking for you and the other about three or four days ago."
"Why didn't they start searching for us sooner," Tai asked confused.
"It turns out that Kari got a message on her d-terminal," Azulongmon said, "Saying that you and the other older digi-destined went on a final school trip and would be back in seven days."
"I never sent any message," Tai said, "It was probably that digimon doing all of this."
"Actually it was me," Tai turns around to see Gennai walking towards him saying, "Before you say anything I sent the message because he is looking for Kari and the others too."
"What are you doing here Gennai?" Azulongmon asked, "No one told you we were going to be here."
"I've lived for many years," Gennai said, "I was hoping to keep Kari away from this mess. How about we have a nice long talk about what is going on."
"Before we start, I want to know how she is," Tai asked.
"Good," Gennai said, "But if she continues her search, I fear that she will fall into his trap. I was hoping the time difference would be favorable but it turned out I was wrong."
"I need to worn her," Tai said.
"You can not," Azulongmon said, "Even we can not open portals between the worlds. If we didn't set up this pocket dimension before then you may not be alive. It's time to tell you about the Digi-World. The Name is misleading. We call it the Digi-World but the truth is that it is a group of worlds. Each world started is based off the real world it is bonded to."
"What about this digimon?" Tai asked.
"Before that is answered," Gennai says, "Come here Tai I have something that belongs to you and Agumon."
"What do you mean Gennai?" Tai asked walking over towards Gennai.
As Tai got closer Gennai pulled out his crest, "This is what I mean," he says handing it to Tai.
"It's my Crest of Courage," Tai said surprised and confused at the same time, "But I gave this up with the others after we defeated the dark masters."
"Yes you did," Gennai said, "But when Oikawa made that wish to protect the digital world for all time, after he was freed from Malomyotismon of course, the tags and crests started reappearing in key locations of the digital world."
"Then why didn't you bring the other crests with you," Tai asked, "We really could use all of them in this fight."
"I tried," Gennai said, "But the moment I walked through the doorway to get here all of the other ones that I had fell to the ground except this one. Don't worry the other crests are still safe even though I couldn't bring them with me."
"I hope your right about that," Agumon said, "Because if they were to fall into the wrong hands, the digital world that me and Tai know and probably all the others would become covered in darkness."
"I know we can trust him Agumon," Tai said, "If it wasn't for his help throughout all of our adventures none of us would be here today."
"Now I think we should get back to the business of why we brought you here Tai," Azulongmon said, "We can only answer so many of your questions, because we don't know everything that is going on at the moment, also we only have so much time till you would become stuck here or pulled back to where you were in the palace, we're not sure which would happen."
"Then start explaining," Tai said, "Starting with who that digimon is and why he is doing all of this."
"We can explain why he is doing this," Zhuqaoimon said, "But to be truthful we're not sure who he is other then a lackey to a greater evil."
"Oh just wonderful," Tai said, "I hope this isn't like the dark masters all over again. Also why is it so dark in this area, it's kind of depressing like this," he asked.
"Let me fix that," Azulongmon said, "Zhuqaoimon thought it would add to the affect of what he said about this being the digital under world, only just a few years ago he would have tried to kill you but now he only tries to mess with peoples minds after seeing that Humans and digimon can combine to make some of the strongest fighters in his sector." He then used one of the sphere's floating around his body to light the area blinding Tai and Agumon.
Meanwhile Sora finished putting on her new red gloves. "How do I look?" She asked her partners.
"Nice," Palmon said.
"Better than without them," Mimi said, "What do you think will help me?"
"Not much you can do," Palmon said.
"There must be a way," Mimi said, "It'll take some time."
"I don't fell like going out anyway," Sora said.
"Then what can we do," Palmon asked, "Sorry about using that one attack on you."
"It's ok Palmon," Sora said, "You were just trying to protect Mimi."
"What are you two talking about," Mimi asked confused.
"You don't want to know," Sora, Palmon and Biyomon all say at the same time.
"Oh, ok but can you at tell me why I have a splitting headache," Mimi asked, "I don't remember getting hit in the head at all."
"That we will tell you," Sora said, "After Biyomon knocked you unconscious the digimon doing all of this pulled out a control and then pushed a button that sent you flying head first into one of the trees around the ring."
"He also said oops wrong button after that happened," Palmon said.
Meanwhile back to Tai, the that he is in looks like an exact copy of the area where the Digi-destined met Gennai before going to his house in season 01, "So your saying that you think the digimon doing all of this to us at the palace is a lackey of a greater evil," Tai said, "That wants to get rid of all of it's enemies before hand."
"Yes that is right barer of the Crest of Courage," Zhuqaoimon said, "We have been..." he then cuts off for no reason.
"Something wrong Zhuqaoimon," Azulongmon asked, "It's not like you to stop in the middle of what you're saying."
"I'm not sure," Zhuqaoimon said, "I just got informed that one of the digivices we found vanished about 8 hours ago."
"This could be a good thing or a bad thing," Azulongmon said, "Did they tell you which one disappeared?"
"What are you two talking about," Agumon asked, "And what do you mean that you found digivices."
"Yes," Zhuqaoimon said ignoring Agumon's question, "They said it's the one that looks like Gallantmon's shield."
Tai then turns to Gennai, "What are they talking about," he asked, "And what is the business of them finding digivices."
Gennai just shrugs, "I have no knowledge of this myself," he said, "I'm in the dark on this conversation just as you are."
"To answer your question Agumon and Tai," Azulongmon said, "We found ten mysterious devices a couple of month's ago, at first we weren't sure what they were though. Then we found out that they are digivices, while most of them have no unique markings one looked like a shield with the digital hazard symbol in the center of it, which I thought was destroyed long ago."
"Digital Hazard, What is it?" Tai asked, "And what do you mean that you thought it was destroyed a long time ago?"
"The other Sovereigns and I used our abilities to create a pocket dimension to seal it away from the digital world permanently," Zhuqaoimon said, "But something happened and instead of being sealed away it was somehow reborn as a human."
"Is he good or evil?" Tai asked.
"That's not the matter," Azulongmon said, "How are you?"
"I'm fine," Tai said, "Agumon is and my digivice..."
"What's wrong Tai?" Agumon asked.
"Nothing," Tai said, "So tell me more about the Digital Hazard."
"It was one of four powers we Sovereigns captured," Zhuqaoimon said, "Also one of the three that gotten free and became human. They may be good or evil as all other life forms are. Let us start the show."
"Before we discuss about the digital hazard," Azulongmon said, "The light of digivolution is one of the powers that existed back then and still exists now, but at some point or another it became four separate entities each one of the four residing in its own sector of the digital world. Even though they are four separate beings they are still connected to each other and if one is killed, the others will eventually die off as well leaving the digital world in a state of total chaos until the power returns or a similar one comes along to replace it."
"So you're saying that the light of Digivolution has a physical form," Agumon said, "Even though we have complete access to it and can use it at any time we need too."
"Yes that is right," Azulongmon said, "But in the east sector of the digital world has had the influence of the light of digivolution for a lot longer then the southern sector that you're in at the moment. At times it will be a lot harder for you to digivolve your partner," he then notices Tai's upgraded Digivice, "Especially with that new digivice you have there."
"What are you talking about," Tai asked as he looked to where he keeps his digivice noticing a weird looking strange looking device in its place, "Huh, where did this come from it wasn't there before I came here."
"Let's worry about were it came from later," Zhuqaoimon said, "The digital hazard and other things we thought we sealed away somehow ended up in two different worlds that is connected to the digital world."
"Why didn't you just destroy them," Tai asked, "It would have been easier right?"
"Yes it would have," Azulongmon said, "But if we had done that, the digital world and all the worlds connected to it would have collapsed ending billions of lives with in months. So we decided to seal them in a pocket dimension were they wouldn't be able to escape and no one could get into besides us Sovereigns."
"Why did you try to seal them away," Agumon asked, "It wasn't like they were killing or destroying anything was it?"
"Actually they were all unpredictable," Zhuqaoimon said, "The digital hazard was the worst of all. In one area it would create life and beauty and then the next area it would cause destruction and death with out any warning at all, or in other words it was causing total chaos wherever it went, and when these three things come together it would create a powerful storm that could cover the entire digital world."
"I hope I never run into it," Agumon said.
Meanwhile the host digimon sat looking over his screens. "Report Sir," a digimon said walking into the room, "The report said that nothing strange has happened to Takato."
"This isn't good," the host said, "Tai is some where out there. I need to get them to be changed into digimon so the light of digivolution does not leave their body."
"But why is the power leaving their body bad my lord?" the digimon asked.
"The parts of the light of digivolution were attracted to the power in the real world like digimon to their human partners," the host said, "That is all you need to know. If you help find a way to make them loose then I may allow you to meet our master."
"Why can't I meet the master know," the digimon asked.
"Because one I said so," the host said, "And two the master doesn't like to be bothered by incompetent fools. Now get back to work before I decide to delete you."
"Yes Sir," the digimon said then walked out the door.
"I know he's alive," the host said, "But where is he?" He then got up and started pacing, "I know for a fact Tai's alive, because if he was killed by that beam his body would have been lying there black as coal," he then punches the wall putting a hole in it, 'Damn it, that's the fifth wall I'm going to have to repair in the last week,' he thinks while looking at the hole he punched through the stone wall.
Meanwhile back to Takato and Rika, "I can't believe that so far the three packages we have delivered have all been to some sort of restaurant," Rika said, "Also I think we should try to find a place to rest at the next town we get to, because our partners are tired from all of the ambushes that have been happening and you look like you're getting sick goggles and a good nights rest hopefully will do us all some good."
"I'm fine Rika," Takato said.
"If you're fine," Rika asked, "Then why are you pale to the point where your skin looks almost grey."
"We should get out of here now before we get ambushed again," Takato said.
"I'm feeling great," Takato said, "But we could use some rest."
"Are you sure you're okay," Rika said. She placed her hand on Takato's cheek. "You feel cold."
"I'm fine," Takato said.
"Fine," Rika said, "Let's go then."
"Not so fast," a voice called out, "You four aren't going anywhere."
"Who's there," Gallantmon yelled, "And what do you want?"
"Who do you think; Grisly Wing."
"Oh great it's a Myotismon," Gallantmon said leaping out of the way of the attack, "This is going to be fun," he said with sarcasm in his voice.
"Hmm this indeed is going to be fun," Myotismon said, "I thought I would never see a Gallantmon, let alone get the chance to destroy one and by the way the name is Lord Myotismon to you."
"Can the bullshit," Taomon said, "We need to get by and you're going down; Thousand Spell."
"You think that's going to stop me," Myotismon said, "Think again; Crimson Lightning," he yelled causing his attack to collide with Taomon's neutralizing both.
"Lightning Joust," Gallantmon called out hitting him in the back leaving a nasty burn mark.
"You're going to pay for that," Myotismon yelled, "Nightmare Claw," launching the attack towards Taomon.
Taomon seeing the attack coming tries to get out of the way, but realizes she's not going to in time thinks, 'Aw crap this is going to fucking hurt.' Then Gallantmon jumps in front of the attack and she yelled, "What are you doing Gallantmon?"
"What does it look like," Gallantmon said, "I'm helping you Taomon." The attack then hits his shield pushing him back a few yards, he then shouts out, "Final Elysian," vaporizing Myotismon's left arm before he could get out of the way.
"Like that is going to stop me," Myotismon said gritting his teeth against the pain, he then absorbed the data particles restoring his arm, "Grisly Wing," he yelled sending hundreds of bats at Gallantmon who tried to get out of the way but this time they followed his every move. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Taomon getting ready to attack and called out while turning to face her, "Crimson Lightning," knocking the giant paintbrush out of her hands and wrapping around her neck.
"Taomon!" Rika yelled in horror.
"Say goodbye to your pathetic partner human," Myotismon said, "But don't worry you will be joining her soon." He then tightened the energy beam around Taomon's neck and was about to throw her into the ground but stopped when he felt a gust of wind behind him. Myotismon turned his head around just in time to see his own attack hit him.
Gallantmon then rushed over and sliced in half the red energy beam in the middle that's wrapped around Taomon's neck causing it to dissipate, "Taomon you ok," he asked.
"I'm fine no thanks to you," Taomon said smiling.
Gallantmon then got up and started running towards Myotismon, "This ends now," he yelled, "Lightning Joust," and hit him in the middle of the back as he got up impaling him through the heart.
Myotismon just stood there for a moment in shock and then yelled, "How can this be," before bursting into data particles.
"We're getting into too many fights," Rika said.
"Let's hurry," Takato said.
Elsewhere Tai ready himself to sleep on his large bed. "A week they weren't kidding, Agumon. Since they don't know who is behind this then they are just piling all they know and then any information that they think could be helpful."
"No more talking about it," Agumon said, "I spent a day on it and I don't want to dream about it."
"You're right," Tai said, "Good night."
Meanwhile Sora smiled at the store keeper as pick up the long red glove and sunglasses. "I still say you should have gone with pink instead of red," Mimi said.
"Not all of us like being covered in pink," Sora said.
"I'm covered in pink," Biyomon said from her resting place on Sora's shoulder.
"It looks good on you," Sora said, "Let's watch the fight. It is Kazu and Kenta."
Meanwhile back in the place where Tai is, we find him asleep but tossing and turning like crazy.
Inside Tai's mind, "Where am I," he asked, "How did I get here and what is this place?"
"We have to destroy those things," a voice said, "Their danger to all of us and if they're aloud to run around they could destroy everything we're trying to protect."
"Yes I know," a second voice said, "The only problem is that if we destroy them, the digital world would collapse in about six month's to a year."
"What," the first voice yelled, "You can't be serious, how can they be connected to the digital world that way. There has to be a way to get rid of them some how."
"I think I know of a way," a third voice said, "We could create a pocket dimension in what to put them in, or at least the ones that are causing all of the chaos."
"And how do you suppose we do that," a fourth voice asked, "None of us have that ability, so that is a bad idea."
"Actually all we need to do is combine our powers and it should be easy," the third voice said, "But before that we have to find where they are at the moment."
"So we can stop it with our powers," the second voice said, "How does that help?"
"I say we remove it from the grasp of all digimon," the first said.
Meanwhile Kazu and Kenta walk into the Arena to face each other "I say man," Kazu said. "I can't agree with this tournament...Hey, why dose he get to use a mega?"
Kenta look up at the host digimon. "I don't know how to make him de-digivolve."
"I will allow it," the host said, "This fight will be a standard fight between the digimon. The Partners may have sometime to talk and plan."
Kenta thinks, 'Man I'm more than likely going to loose, Kazu is always beating me at the game so probably won't be much different in a real fight. I can at least give it my best though.'
The host thinks, 'I still can't understand why my master had me bring these two simpletons here, in my opinion they are barely a threat. But I was told to bring all Digidestined and Tamers here, only problem is I still haven't located Kari, TK, and the others for some reason, especially the one with a MarineAngemon.' "Ah screw it," he said, "The fight will begin now."
"But you said you would give some time to talk and plan," Kenta whined, "That's just wrong that you lied to us."
"I realized there was no point to let you make plans," the host said, "From what I learned about you two, neither of you two ever plan anything."
"That's not true," Kazu said, "I know I plan things but Kenta on the other I'm not sure."
"Hey what's that supposed to mean," Kenta asked in his whiny voice, "I thought we were friends."
"Of course we're friends," Kazu said, "All I said is that I have no clue if you plan what you do."
'This might turn out more interesting then I thought,' the host thinks, 'But then again it probably won't be.' "Stop arguing and fight or I get rid of all of you with out any hesitation," he said.
"Fine," Kazu said, "Guardromon you know what to do."
"Guardian Barrage," Gaurdromon yelled.
'Uh oh this isn't going to be good,' Kenta thinks and then as he watched he sees MarineAngemon weaving through the missiles that Gaurdromon fired at him.
"Kahuna Wave," MarineAngemon said firing his attack at Gaurdromon. The attack hits only to do no damage.
"Looks like I'm going to have to give him some help," Kenta said as he goes to grab his cards out of his pocket only to realize they're not there, "What, where are my cards," he then remembers that he left them back in his room. "Fuck, looks like I'm going to loose."
"Whoa, did Kenta just swear," Kazu asked surprised, "This is the first time I have heard him says anything like that."
'How can I fucking win,' Kenta thinks, 'When I left my cards back in my room, I can't do anything except watch helplessly.'
'Looks like I was right about this going to be a boring fight,' the host thinks, 'I'm just glad I didn't waste one of my good ideas for fighting on them, most of the kinds of fights I will have they probably wouldn't be able to understand. I don't even think this one will last twenty minutes.'
MarineAngemon kept flying around Gaurdromon using his attack, which was really starting to get on Gaurdromon nerves, "Annoying little pest," Gaurdromon said trying to get him to stop and finally does when he claps his hands together hitting MarineAngemon.
Kazu grimaced, "That had to hurt," he said, "I'm wondering if he's still conscious."
Gaurdromon then opened his hands and MarineAngemon started falling to the ground, but at the last second flew back over to Kenta, "Pi pipi pi pipi pi, (Why did you leave your cards in our room you idiot)" he said.
"Gaurdian Barrage," Gaurdromon said while Kenta was arguing with his digimon.
"Hey!" Kenta exclaimed hurt by what MarineAngemon called him.
MarineAngemon turned around to start trying to beat Gaurdromon again, only to receive a direct hit from his latest attack. Throwing him back into a tree, "Hey that wasn't fair," Kenta said, "You usually call out your attacks."
"I did," Gaurdromon said, "But neither of you heard it because you were too busy arguing between yourselves."
"Looks like I'm the winner Kenta," Kazu said.
"Why do you say that," Kenta asked, "My partner is just fine."
"If that is so," Kazu said, "Then why hasn't your partner gotten out from under the trees he knocked over."
Kenta then ran over to the pile of trees and started looking for his partner, MarineAngemon where are you," he said as he started trying to move the trees. He finally finds his partner a few minutes later badly injured and barely conscious.
"The winner is Kazu," the host said.
"What?" Kenta yelled, "But my partner is still conscious, and can fight."
"With the way he looks," the host said, "I doubt that he could even lift his own head at the moment."
"Let's show him buddy," Kenta said and MarineAngemon then starts to float in the air again for few a moments before passing out.
"I told you he wasn't able to fight," the host said, "Now as I was saying before Kazu is the winner," he then thinks, 'That was the most pathetic fight I have ever seen in my life, I just hope I don't have to watch another one like it any time soon.'
Meanwhile Tai sits bolt up right as he awakens from the dream he just had, 'What the hell was all that about,' he thinks to himself, 'I guess I was thinking to much about what I was told when I fell asleep, hopefully I can get back to sleep soon.'
"Huh, is everything ok Tai," Agumon asked sleepily.
"Yeah everything is fine," Tai said, "Just go back to sleep."
"Actually it's time to get up," Gennai said as he walked into the room, "It's already eight thirty in the morning and breakfast is waiting for you."
Agumon hearing this becomes wide awake and asked, "Where is it at, I'm starving."
"Calm down Agumon," Gennai said, "It isn't going anywhere and we need to wait for Tai to get dressed. Here Tai I brought you some clean clothes," he said handing Tai some clothes.
"Thanks Gennai," Tai said, "But do you mind waiting outside while I get dressed."
"Of course," Gennai said, "I was about to go wait for you outside your room."
A few minutes later Tai walks out of his room with Agumon, "Ok Gennai I'm ready," he said, "Let's go get that food you mentioned."
"Yeah, let's go," Agumon said, "I'm just glad were not back at that place right now, or we would probably be stuck eating peanut butter sandwiches again."
'That worthless fight put me ahead,' the host though. "The next fight will be called. All those that have not fought be ready." The Host walks away.
"I hope we fight him next," Terriermon said, "It would be easy.
"I hope I don't need to fight," Suzy said. She raises her ears up. "I think Henry is awaking."
"Good," Terriermon said, "At least we know that he's truly fine," he then mumbled, "And also we won't have to listen to him talking in his sleep for at least a while."
"Terriermon," Suzy said surprised, "I can't believe you would say something like that about your partner," and then gave him an evil glare that sent shivers up and down his spine.
'Damn,' Terriermon thinks, 'That glare is even worse then Rika's.'
"Hey you two," Lopmon called, "Henry's waking up, get in here now."
Suzy and Terriermon then ran into the part of the rooms that is Henry's bedroom, "Man I just had the strangest dream," Henry mumbles, "In it me and Suzy ended up getting changed by this digimon," before he even opened his eyes.
Suzy then looks at Terriermon and Lopmon with the question on her face and in eyes, Should we tell him or wait, while standing right in front of Henry.
Before either of them could respond to Suzy's question, Henry opened his eyes, "Suzy is that you," he asked looking at the Gatomon in front of him.
"Who else would it be," Suzy responded, "We were worried about you when you passed out like that," she then goes up and hugs Henry around the neck as best she could.
Henry then mumbles, "Great, it wasn't a dream," he then asked, "How long have I been out for?"
"About a day and a half," Lopmon said, "And Terriermon has been being annoying the entire time."
"Why am I not surprised," Henry said, "What kind of wise cracks was he making this time."
"Actually he was complaining about how you where mumbling every now and then," Suzy said.
"I don't talk in my sleep," Henry said, "Usually Terriermon is complaining that I snore too much."
"You were doing that too," Terriermon said, "But it wasn't annoying like it usually is, your talking was annoying because every few minutes you kept saying my name over and over."
"So have you three been getting any food in the last day," Henry asked.
"Yeah," Lopmon said, "They actually brought lunch here about four or five hours ago."
"That doesn't make any since," Henry said, "I figured the host didn't give a damn about anyone here."
"Well actually they had no choice," Suzy said, "A fight broke out in the cafe and they needed to repair it, so everyone's food has been delivered today."
"I hope that nothing bad happens to those people," Henry said, "So what did the host do about it since were not aloud to fight outside the arena."
"From what I heard," Suzy said, "The host and the digimon in the area at the time just ignored it, even though they had stopped a fight from happening between a Digidestined and Tamer."
"Do you know who it was that got into the fight," Henry asked, "Because it doesn't make any since."
"From what I over heard from other people as Jeri and I was coming back from there," Suzy said, "Is that the person who started that fight had a Cyberdramon for a partner and attacked another person who had two digimon and deleted one of them and then destroyed the data."
Henry is shocked about what he heard that he doesn't know what to say at first but then said, "That's just wrong, I hope that person gets what they deserve."
"Oh it gets even better," Suzy said, "If they were right about the description of the person then I'm absolutely sure that it was Ryo who did this."
"Also there was a few more fights while you were unconscious," Terriermon said, "The most recent one didn't even last ten minutes, it was between Kazu and Kenta and from what we heard Kenta left his deck of cards in his room."
"Why am I not surprised by what either of you said," Henry said, "I just hope that Ryo looses to who ever he has to fight, and Kenta needs to be more responsible when it comes to his cards and partner. Also where's the others I thought at least Takato and Jeri would be around here checking up on me."
"Jeri has been coming over constantly since after the fight," Suzy said, "But we haven't seen Takato or Rika since after the incidence in the cafe and I also noticed that one of the jobs that allows us to leave this place has been taken. I think Rika might have talked him into helping her out with a job, because the job that was taken required at least two ultimates and one that could digivolve to an Holy Angle Knight digimon if need be," Suzy explained.
Henry was about to say something when he noticed the door to his room opening out of the corner of his eye and the other three heard it opening, "Oh that's right I added Jeri's handprint to the sensor by the door," Suzy said.
Jeri hearing Suzy's voice asked, "Who are you talking to Suzy," before she comes into the room, "And how is Henry doing at the moment?" Jeri then heads over to where she heard Suzy's voice and stops for a moment when she sees Henry is awaken and then runs over and hugs him, "It's good to see that you have finally woke up," she said.
"Thanks I guess," Henry said surprised by Jeri's reaction to him being awake.
"She's been coming here many times," Terriermon said, "Come on Lopmon, let's leaving the boyfriend and girlfriend alone."
Jeri just blushed as the digimon left the room. "Kazu and Kenta fought while you were asleep. Kenta won. Mimi lost to Sora. And they gave you these stone to help you eat." She gave the stones to Henry. "I need to find Leomon." Jeri got up and ran off.
"So did you kiss?" Terriermon asked.
"No!" Henry yelled.
"Sure," Terriermon said, "Come on lets see if those wings work."
"I'm not sure if that is a good idea at the moment," Henry said, "I want to find out why the host is doing all of this, I have a feeling that he's working for someone else. When you think about where did he get the ability to alter the forms of humans?"
"Awe I wanted to know if you could fly with those wings," Terriermon whined, "I guess we can do it later."
"Terriermon stop bugging Henry about that," Suzy said, "There's other important things we need to think about right now."
As Henry is about to say something the host voice comes over the intercom, "The next fight will be in thirty minutes and the contestants are Jeri Kato and Julie Brunci."
"What?" Henry yelled at the top of his lungs, "He can't be serious about having Jeri fight now!"
"Yeouch my ears!" Suzy cried, "Calm down Henry everyone else in here have really sensitive ears unlike you."
"Oh sorry," Henry said, "Didn't mean to cause any of you pain. Suzy are you feeling ok, you seem to be acting a little different."
"What do you mean Henry?" Suzy asked, "I'm feeling ok and I'm not acting any different."
"Actually I think you being changed into a Gatomon is having a affect on you," Terriermon said to Suzy, "Since we got back here you have been showing some of the characteristics that are part of most Gatomon."
"Terriermon is right Suzy," Lopmon said, "You have been starting to show some of the characteristics of a Gatomon since this morning, but I don't think it's anything to worry about as long as you don't forget who you really are."
"Of course I won't forget that," Suzy said, "I'm your Tamer and friend and for the time being I'm stuck as a digimon and partner to my older brother."
Meanwhile Tai and Agumon have just learned more things about the entities the Sovereigns have been telling them about, "Now Izzy would find that interesting," Tai said, "So your saying that these things were more neutral in nature then anything back then. How many of them were there back then?"
"We think there was at least about fifty of them," Azulongmon said, "But out of all of them only ten posed a threat to the safety of all digital life forms. They used instincts to survive at first and then started learning how to think like the digimon do, but they had no control of the powers they had."
"I never want to run into one of those thing," both Tai and Agumon said, "I don't even want to think about what would happen if an evil force gets a hold of them," Tai said.
"Also another thing is that the light of digivolution was and probably still is attracted to them no matter what form they have become," Azulongmon said, "I know for a fact that some of the ones that were harmless took on the form of digimon to learn and wanted to try to keep the digital world safe from evil."
Tai and Agumon then left the room to go eat dinner, leaving the Sovereigns to talk amongst themselves for a while.
"This is absurd Azulongmon," Zhuqaoimon said, "Explaining all of this won't help them with defeating the one doing all of this to them. What we should be talking about is how to defeat him."
"We don't know who the true evil behind this," Azulongmon said, "When Tai returns we will be unable to contact them again so we need to make sure he knows all the forces it could be."
"It won't help," Zhuqaoimon said, "Information is worthless if they can't use it to help them."
"Very well," Azulongmon said, "How do you pose that we handle this?"
"We need to find a way to allow him to open a portal to a pocket dimension and then he dump all those we're fighting in it. Simple."
"Even if we did find a way to allow him to do that," Azulongmon said, "I don't think it would be that simple and who's to say that they won't figure out a way to escape after awhile."
"This is absurd," Zhuqaoimon said, "Of course they wouldn't be able to escape the pocket dimension no matter what they did. Also if the things that we tried to seal away powers reactivated the digital world would be doomed."
"If that is true," Baihumon said, "Then how is it that boy Takato saved your ass countless times and if your wondering why I'm mentioning him, it's obvious that he is the human that the digital hazard chose to become when it escaped and went into the real world."
"What?" Zhuqaoimon said, "You have got to be joking, how can he be with that pathetic partner of his known as Guilmon be the digital hazard."
"It amazes me at the obviousness of what you said earlier and you still don't realize it," Baihumon said, "You said so yourself that the shield of the mega they become has the hazard symbol on it. Also how is it that you and not even the rest of us heard of any digimon called Guilmon until the day that Takato Matsuki became one of the first Tamers in the real world connected to your sector of the digital world?"
"You know that new digimon appear in all of the sectors of the digital world frequently," Zhuqaoimon said, "Or his kind has somehow managed to evade detection by any of us until one of them partnered up with that weak human."
"You should know as well as the rest of us that the digital hazard is as old as the digital world," Azulongmon said, "Hell for all we know it could be the program that created the entire digital world. I also know for a fact that it was Takato that created Guilmon and the ability to Bio-merge with the digimon in your sector, and Guilmon in all of his forms has the symbol of the digital hazard in one place or another."
"If that is so," Zhuqaoimon said, "Then we should destroy him before he finds out what he is truly capable of doing with his powers."
"Why is it you never listen to reason Zhuqaoimon," Baihumon said, "Takato and the others like him may be the only chance we have to defeat this evil. And I won't stand by to let you destroy one of the only beings capable of defeating this evil."
"Hey what's going on," Tai said walking into the room with Agumon after eating dinner," I could hear all of you yelling on the other said of this place."
"This doesn't concern you holder of courage," Zhuqaoimon said.
"Actually Zhuqaoimon it does concern him," Azulongmon said, "And all of the Digidestined and Tamers as well." Azulongmon then tells Tai and Agumon what they have been talking about since they left to eat dinner, leaving both of them speechless from what they just heard.
After five minutes Tai finally gets enough courage to speak, "So your saying that Takato is the digital hazard in the form of a human being," he said, "Agumon remind me never to get on his bad side, I can also imagine how Izzy is going to react when I tell him everything that I have learned here so far and also what I'm going to learn in the next few days. I still can't believe that for everyday that passes hear only three or four hours time passes for them, while in my and Agumon's point of view we have been gone a week, to them I will have only been gone a full day."
"Before he leaves we could try to find any idea about the other three pieces," Baihumon said, "Two are human and the last is a digimon."
"His name is Calumon," Azulongmon said, "Finding the other two humans could be a good idea. They must be of great power."
"Kari," Tai said, "She shown that she has great power and could be one. Plus..."
"Yes?" Azulongmon asked, "Come on tell us no matter how small it could help."
"I had a dream last night," Tai said, "To lights moved into my mother but she was younger."
"It could be a vision," Azulongmon said, "The holder of light has shown power that is unnatural for a human."
"If that's true then Kari must have taken in both powers," Tai said.
"No, the powers can not share a body," Azulongmon said, "Tai my boy would you agree to be tested?"
"For what will I be tested?" Tai asked nervously, "And why can't they share a body?"
"I just want to see if you could be one of them," Azulongmon said, "Don't worry though it won't hurt or anything. The worst that will happen if I'm wrong is that you'll be feeling lightheaded and dizzy for at most three hours, but either way you will be exhausted. The reason the powers can't share a body is that the powers are too different and would end up destroying the body after a certain amount of time if their either active or inactive."
"Ok I agree to be tested," Tai said, "What will happen if I am one of them?"
"That my boy can only be answered by time," Azulongmon said, "What I mean is that it shouldn't have any affect on you, but then again there is a chance your physical form could be slightly altered though."
"Will I be affected at all," Agumon asked.
"Of course not buddy," Tai said, but then started to wonder about that himself.
"Nothing will happen to you Agumon," Azulongmon said, "But if Tai is one of them, then I want to test you to see if you have somehow gained the ability to do some of the things that they were able to do back then."
"What do we do if Tai is one of them and I have somehow gained some of the ability's you're talking about," Agumon asked.
"Both of you then would have to learn how to control them," Baihumon said, "To keep them from getting out of control and causing problems for you and everyone you hold dear to you."
"How would we do that," Agumon asked.
"That you would have to figure out on your own," Azulongmon said.
"So what do we do?" Tai asked.
"Stand back Agumon," Azulongmon said. Agumon nodded and stepped back. Azulongmon flew around Tai and then open his mouth. Light came over Tai's body. Quickly the light fade and Tai drop to the ground. "It's been a long time since I felt that part of the light."
"Impossible," Zhuqaoimon said, "How could he know what that light is."
"How is it that you're so dense Zhuqaoimon," Ebuwumon's right head said, "At times I think you know even less then the humans do about the digital world."
"What?" Zhuqaoimon yelled pissed off by what he just heard, "You have no right to even say that about me."
"We have every right to say that being a Sovereign like you are," Ebuwumon's left head said agreeing with what his right said.
"Stop bickering like children both of you," Azulongmon said, "So Tai my boy how are you feeling at the moment."
"Other then the fact that I like I ran a marathon," Tai said, "I feel perfectly fine."
"Then that means you're one of them," Azulongmon said, "But I still can't tell you which one, because the last two that we were looking for may be completely different in ways but at the same time they had abilities that both of them could use."
"Ok so now we know that I am one of them," Tai said, "I guess that means Kari is also one then, but didn't you say something about there being others besides these four."
"If he is one of them," Zhuqaoimon growled, "Then I should destroy him right now."
Azulongmon turned towards Zhuqaoimon, "If you even try to harm him, I'll make sure that you wish you were never created," he said.
"And before you even say anything Zhuqaoimon," Baihumon said, "Both Ebuwumon and I will help Azulongmon deal with you."
"I'll even have my partner Agumon digivolve to Wargreymon," Tai said, "To help deal with you. Hey Agumon aren't you going to come back over here."
"Oh right," Agumon said.
"No wait the energy that I used hasn't completely dissipated yet," Azulongmon said but was to late.
"What do you mean the energy hasn't completely dissipated yet," Tai asked confused, "And kind of affect will it have on Agumon," not knowing that Agumon had already entered into the energy field around him and Azulongmon still.
"I don't actually know what kind of affect the combined energy's will have on him," Azulongmon said nervously, "One of thing that could happen is that he will digivolve into his mega form since part of the energy is the same energy I gave to Gennai so he could fight Blackwargreymon, other then that I don't know what will happen because I have never used it on a digimon before."
"I thought you said Agumon wouldn't be affected though?" Tai asked confused, "At least he didn't come into the energy field."
"When I said he wouldn't be affected," Azulongmon said, "I meant that none of the energy would touch him. Also my boy I hate to say this but by the time I had yelled for him to wait he had already entered the area where the energy hadn't disippated yet."
Before Tai could say anything Agumon said, "Tai I feel really strange," before passing out and falling on his side.
"Agumon!" Tai yelled worried about his partner as he ran over to him, "Get up buddy you're going to be fine," and then to his surprise Agumon started glowing, he tried to watch but the light soon became too bright even to the point to where the Sovereigns had to close their eyes. When the light finally died down and Tai was able to see again he saw another digimon in Agumon's place that looked a lot like Agumon but was somewhat different. The way he looks is his claws on his hands and feet are sharper and colored silver, he looks even more like a miniature T-rex now and has bluish-silver stripes on his body and his tail is twice as long other then that he looks the same.
After a few minutes Agumon started to wake up, "What happened," he asked in a slightly deeper voice but still recognizable as Agumon's.
"I don't know," Tai said.
"Tai," Azulongmon said, "You know how thing of the parts went to human worlds and the last stay trap. Well digital being made it into a digimon."
"All you need to know is that the tamers know of it," Zhuqaoimon said, "But at the moment you should look at your partner."
"Right," Tai said leaving the large room.
"You didn't tell him all we know," Azulongmon said.
"I will force him to talk to the tamers and Takato," Zhuqaoimon said, "Just because I can't destroy him doesn't mean I need to go all the way with helping him."
"While Tai is studying Agumon I say we find a way to test the other if they are also. One that Tai will be able to take with him," Ebuwumon said.
"How about we add some thing to goggles," Baihumon said, "We could add more to it."
"Like that will even work," Zhuqaoimon said, "What we should do is find a way to let him detect the true enemy behind this and then destroy it ourselves."
"We have been trying to find the enemy ourselves," Ebuwumon said, "But it hasn't worked so far, so how do you think we can give him a way to find it when we can't."
"Ebuwumon is right," Baihumon said, "How could we give him a way to track the true enemy if we can't even locate it ourselves?"
Meanwhile in another room with Tai, "Hey Agumon are you sure your feeling ok," he asked Agumon.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Agumon said, "Other then I'm feeling like I haven't ate anything in three days and slightly dizzy and lightheaded."
"Azulongmon did say one of the worst things that could happen to me at least was I would get lightheaded and dizzy for at most three hours," Tai said, "I guess that was one of the affects it had on you."
"You're lucky," Agumon said, "It really didn't have an effect on you, except it made your muscles slightly more defined."
"Not bad," Tai said looking at his body.
"Tai," Agumon said looking at himself, "I think that I could use a new name for my new look. I'm still an Agumon but I'm not a normal Agumon."
"Do what others do put an 'X' at the end of your name," Tai said.
Meanwhile Matt stood before the older Digi-destined's. "I say we need to get some training," he said, "I have a training ground reserved for us."
"Come on Mimi," Sora said. "You need to get ready for our next fight."
"Why do I have to train," Mimi said, "You have Palmon and Biyomon also."
"Because you're a digimon now," Sora said, "And you need to learn to use your abilities properly."
"I never asked to be changed into a digimon," Mimi said, "And I don't want to learn my attacks either."
"Mimi learning to use your attacks may be the only way to stop the host from doing all of this," Matt said, "So come let's head over to the training area that I reserved for today."
"Fine," Mimi said in a pouty voice, "But I don't want other people to see me like this."
"I don't think the others will really notice," Matt said, "Most of them are probably wondering what the next fight is going to be like."
"Hey why did you schedule us to use a training area during a fight," Joe asked, "I thought we had agreed that we would watch every fight."
"How was I supposed to know that the most recent fight would be so short," Matt said, "It's really pathetic how what was his name, oh yes Kenta didn't know how to make his partner de-digivolve into his rookie or champion form."
"Matt does have a point," Izzy said, "That fight only lasted ten minutes at most, while most of the others have taken at least half an hour or so."
"Are we going or are we just going to let the time I reserved to be waisted here," Matt asked.
"Alright," Sora said, "We're all going right now," and they all started to head towards one of the designated training areas.
Meanwhile we find Tai talking to the Sovereigns while AgumonX is resting, "So your saying that tomorrow night that you'll be sending me back to that place," Tai asked, "Man I'm going to miss all the good food that's here."
"Tai I need to talk to you for a moment," Gennai said coming into the room, "It's about Kari, I have good news and bad news, the good news is that she and the younger Digidestined are back in the real world. The bad news is that they are being attacked by quite a few digimon."
"Then go help them by giving Kari and TK their crests back," Tai said and then noticed something hanging out of Gennai's pocket that looked like one of the tags that holds the crest, "Hey Gennai what is that hanging out of your pocket?"
"What are you talking about Tai," Gennai asked and then noticed it himself and pulled it out and looks at it, "Huh that wasn't there before, why was the crest of friendship in my pocket. There is problems with giving them back their crests," he said, "They haven't reappeared like the other ones just yet."
"They can at least still DNA digivolve right," Tai asked, "Then will have Imperialdramon on their side."
"Yeah they can DNA digivolve still," Gennai said, "But some of the digimon they are fighting seem to be mirror images of their own partners."
Meanwhile Jeri was getting ready her fight. "You think we can win?" she asked not even looking at Leomon.
"I'm sure we can," the lion man said.
"Hey Jeri," Julie cheered as she ran up, "I didn't think that we would be fighting each other. No hard feelings about the fight."
"Right," Jeri said smiling at her best friend, "So winner takes the looser as a partner."
"Sure," Julie said.
Watching this the host turns from the screen. "Hmm, should I hold them to that promise?"
"Sir," a digimon said. Then he pointed at an Agumon, "This one refused to take a human partner."
"Good," the host said grinning evilly, "You know where to send him. I must go to the arena for the next fight."
