"Well looks like this fight might be more to my favor," Gomamon said as he jumps into the water, "Joe digivolve me now."
"I don't think it's going to be any where as easy as Gomamon thinks it is," Joe mumbled under his breath, "Alright buddy I guess we don't have a choice."
"You might want to hurry Gomamon," Kabuterimon said hovering above Gomamon.
Gomamon enters the water as he digivolves. His large body quickly becomes a shadow that slowly fades away. "Electro shocker," Kabuterimon yelled releasing an energy attack into the water. He watches as three torpedoes came from the water.
Renamon nods her head and said, "They're good. The speed which they use their attacks is faster than most."
"It's going to be a good fight," Guilmon said.
"Where are you?" Kabuterimon asked as he scans the water.
'Damn this isn't going to be easy at all,' Ikkakumon thinks as he looks around under the water and can barely see anything in or above the water, 'I'm going to have to surface if I want to be able to aim properly at Kabuterimon.'
"Be careful Kabuterimon," Izzy said, "Ikkakumon can attack at any time and from anywhere with how he's underwater."
Ikkakumon then surfaces, "Harpoon Torpedo," he yelled launching a few of them at Kabuterimon.
"Electro shocker," Kabuterimon yelled releasing a bolt of energy at Ikkakumon as he dodges the missiles and misses Ikkakumon because he dives back into the water a few moments before the attack can hit him.
Kabuterimon hovers over the water watching the movement and waiting. A torpedo comes from the water. Kabuterimon flies there and readies his attack. "Harpoon Torpedo!" Kabuterimon turns only to be hit by the attack.
"Nice trick," Kabuterimon said as he recovers.
"I dove deep and then I fired the torpedo," Ikkakumon said.
"You always brag," Kabuterimon said as he quickly readies his attack.
"I do not brag all the time," Ikkakumon said.
"Ikkakumon don't argue and keep your mind on the fight," Joe said, "And watch out!"
"Electro shocker," Kabuterimon yelled.
Ikkakumon looks up and dives into the just in time to dodge the attack but not the affects of it from hitting the water so close to him, 'Damn that hurts,' he thinks grimacing as he feels the electricity coursing through his body, 'I got to be more careful and less careless.'
"Looks like you missed Kabuterimon," Joe said.
"Even if my attack did miss Ikkakumon, he didn't escape unscathed from it," Kabuterimon said, "Water easily conducts electricity and he was practically right where the attack hit."
"Don't count me out yet," Ikkakumon yelled as he comes out of the water and launches his attack, "Harpoon torpedo."
"I never said I finished you off yet," Kabuterimon said dodges one of the two torpedoes that Ikkakumon launched as he's charging up his own attack, "All I told Joe is that you didn't come out unaffected from my last attack that I aimed at you, Electro shocker."
Meanwhile with Tai, Takato, and the others in the room, "This is kind of boring," Ice complained, "They keep launching the same attacks over and over."
"Well with the way Lord Holy Angemon set things up their other attacks aren't very useful," Takato said, "Kabuterimon's other attacks are for close range combat and I really don't know what Ikkakumon's other attack or attacks do."
"Ikkakumon looks like he's already starting to lose energy," Rika said, "I thought he would be stronger then that."
"Actually he is pretty strong," Renamon said, "You have to consider the fact he's in water and water conducts electricity so even if he hasn't felt it, when Kabuterimon's attack hits the water it's actually slightly electrocuting him and the last one he probably really felt it because it nearly hit him straight on."
"Who is Lord Holy Angemon," Ice asked, "I thought it was the Host who set up the fight?"
"Lord Holy Angemon is the Host," Tai said.
Back to the fight, "I'm just fine," Ikkakumon stated before diving under the water trying to get as far from Kabuterimon's attack as possible.
Ikkakumon rises to the surface only to dive under the moment Kabuterimon starts to attack. Ikkakumon continues to surface only to dive once more.
Meanwhile Tai smiles as he said, "If Ikkakumon is doing what I think he is then Kabuterimon may have a problem."
"What's he doing Daddy?" Mary asked.
"Just watch," Tai said.
Back to the fight, "Kabuterimon be careful," Izzy said.
"I'm being cautious Izzy," Kabuterimon said only to get hit in the face with one of Ikkakumon's missiles and almost knocking him into the water before he regains his senses, "That was close."
Ikkakumon then surfaces directly under Kabuterimon, "Harpoon torpedo," he yelled hitting Kabuterimon in the back causing him to fall into the water.
"Kabuterimon!" Izzy yelled.
"I'm fine Izzy," Kabuterimon said as he surfaces, "Though I won't be able to fly now that my wings are soaked."
"Well this is going to change things," Izzy yelled, "Ikkakumon has the advantage in the water so try to avoid him."
"Easy for you to say," Kabuterimon said, "I can't swim that well. At least I'm not far from land." As he starts swimming torpedoes shoot out of water just missing him. He steps onto the beach.
"How did I miss," Ikkakumon said as he surfaces which is a huge mistake because he ends up getting hit in the face with Kabuterimon's Electro shocker temporarily stunning and blinding him.
Kabuterimon takes a quick glance at his wings and grimaces, "Damn even if they weren't wet I still wouldn't be able to use them," he said looking at his tattered and torn wings, "That last torpedo that hit my back must have done this."
"Hey is something wrong Kabuterimon?" Izzy asked.
"He got my wings," the insect digimon said, "I can't use them to fly anymore."
"You're still faster on land. Stay out of the water," Izzy said.
"Why did they stop fighting?" Mary asked.
"They're planning," Kari said, "With Kabuterimon land locked they need to change the way they fight."
"What's land locked," Mary asked.
"It means he's stuck on land," Kari said, "For the rest of the fight Kabuterimon's wings are useless."
'Ikkakumon is better then I thought,' Kabuterimon thinks as he tries to come up with a new strategy, 'I underestimated him and that's why I'm stuck on land now.'
"This fight is much better then the last one," Knightmon said as he's sitting with the other tamers and digi-destined that are sitting in the arena watching, "This one will actually last for awhile."
"Those two are really good," a girl said sitting next to Knightmon, "I'm surprised that Ikkakumon is still able to fight."
'Damn that smarts,' Ikkakumon thinks underwater still recovering from the last attack that hit him, 'Kabuterimon must have launched that attack before I surfaced.'
"I think that last attack must have at least stunned Ikkakumon," Izzy yelled to Kabuterimon, "But still don't let your guard down at all."
"If I did stun or knock him senseless then this should help," Kabuterimon said as he powers up his attack, "Electro shocker," he yelled launching a more powerful version of the attack then usual.
"Kabuterimon must be really determined to win," Izzy said, "He's my partner and I haven't seen him release one that strong in his champion form before."
Ikkakumon finally fully recovered is near the surface and growls in extreme pain as he feels the electricity coursing through his body for the third time during this fight, 'If this keeps up I'm going to end up losing,' he thinks, 'I have to figure out some way to get him back into the water so I can attack him easier.' Ikkakumon then surfaces as the electricity dies down, "Harpoon Torpedo," he yelled launching a few of them at Kabuterimon.
Kabuterimon drops to the ground avoiding them, "You have to do better then that Ikkakumon," he taunted, "At the rate this is going you are going to lose."
"Ikkakumon," Joe said, "We need to get Kabuterimon into water."
"Call me when he's release an attack," Ikkakumon said.
"He's reading another attack," Joe said.
Ikkakumon leaves the water just before the attack goes into the water. "Harpoon Torpedo," he yelled sending his attack.
Kabuterimon jumps out of the way of the attack, "Nice try but you missed," he said before Ikkakumon's attack hit the ground behind and sends him flying into the water from the shockwave.
"Who says I was aiming exactly for you," Ikkakumon said before jumping back into the water.
"I have to get out of the water," Kabuterimon said as he starts trying to swim back to the island he was just on.
"You aren't going anywhere," Ikkakumon said as he surfaces and pulls Kabuterimon back under with him.
"Let go of me," Kabuterimon yelled as he's pulled under.
"I'm not letting you have the luxury of being able to easily dodge my attacks," Ikkakumon said as he's pulling Kabuterimon deeper.
Kabuterimon finally breaks free from Ikkakumon's grip and realizes he can't tell which way is up at the moment, "Damn it this isn't good," Kabuterimon said.
"Harpoon Torpedo," Ikkakumon yelled launching his attack and hitting Kabuterimon in the back.
Kabuterimon turns around, "So that is how you want to play," he said, "Beetle horn attack," he yelled swimming at Ikkakumon and hits his left arm leaving a gash even though Ikkakumon tried to dodge.
Ikkakumon turns around and hits Kabuterimon with his claws, "Take that you annoying fly," he said.
"I'm not a fly," Kabuterimon said as he uses his four arms to attack Ikkakumon.
"Yeah you're right flies aren't so annoying," Ikkakumon said, "You're more like a gnat."
The fight continues like this for awhile with them fighting physically and verbally, "I don't think this fight is going to last much longer," Kabuterimon said.
"Getting a little cocky now," Ikkakumon panted as he tries to attack Kabuterimon again, "I would have expected Greymon or Garurumon to say that but not you."
"I'm not getting cocky at all," Kabuterimon said moving just enough to dodge Ikkakumon and grabs onto his back, "I have been saving my energy for this."
"What are you planning," Ikkakumon asked.
"Sorry buddy but this is going to hurt like hell," Kabuterimon said, "Electro..."
"If you use that attack it will affect both of us," Ikkakumon yelled.
"Shocker," Kabuterimon yelled using the attack and electrocuting both of them, 'Crap this really hurts,' he thinks, 'I didn't want to do this but I can't let Izzy lose.'
After a few minutes Ikkakumon stops moving and de-digivolves back into Gomamon, "Ouch," he muttered before passing out and starts floating to the surface.
"So that way is up," Kabuterimon said as he reverts to Tentomon after being shocked from his own attack and using most of his energy and starts swimming to the surface.
"I'm getting worried," Joe said, "They have been underwater for a very long time."
"Yeah it has been a long time since Ikkakumon pulled Kabuterimon under with him," Izzy said.
A few moments later Joe sees bubbles start coming to the surface near the island he is on, "What's that," he asked and after a few more moments Gomamon floats to the surface belly up with cuts, bruises and minor burns all over his body, "Oh no Gomamon!"
"Where is Kabuterimon," Izzy asked, "If Gomamon is there then where is he?"
"I'm right here," Tentomon panted weakly, "Did you already forget I told you I can't swim that well?"
"Joe is Gomamon ok," Izzy asked turning his attention to Joe now that he knows Tentomon is ok.
"Other then unconscious and really banged up he seems fine," Joe said, "But I can't be sure till he wakes up."
"The winner of the this fight is Koushiro Izumi," Lord Holy Angemon said snapping his fingers causing the islands Joe and Izzy are on to vanish and causing them to fall into the water, "Now leave the arena so I can start the next fight."
"I hope you don't mind but I would like to stay with Gomamom," Joe said.
"Alright," Izzy said.
"It looks like the attacks got to Ikkakumon," Tai said.
"I'm going to see if they are alright," Sora said.
"See you later," Tai said.
Sora comes to the arena to see Joe with the nurse digimons around him. "I fight and he get the ladies," Gomamon said, "Not fair."
"That's the way life is," Sora said, "It looks like Joe has enough to help him feel better."
"But I was the one who fought Tentomon not Joe," Gomamon said.
"Well there really isn't anything you can do about it," Sora said, "Hey Izzy how are you doing?"
"I'm doing fine Sora," Izzy said, "Even though we weren't in the water for long Joe seems to be getting sick."
"Joe did just recently get over a cold a few days ago," Sora said, "Guess getting soaked wasn't a good thing for him, did they take a look at Tentomon and Gomamon yet?"
"Yeah they took a look at all of us," Izzy said, "They said Tentomon is fine and needs to rest, but Gomamon is going to need some time to heal from the fight that they just had."
"With all the times Gomamon was electrocuted I'm not surprised," Sora said, "So what did they say to do to help him?"
"The nurses said most of the healing will just take time," Izzy said, "They also said that they would give me an ointment for the burns he has to help those heal faster."
"Come on Joe lets get you to bed," one of the nurse digimon said. Most of the nurses push Joe away.
"Will some one get mad at them leaving their position?" Sora asked.
"No," another nurse digimon said, "They just came to see Joe. I'm off to wait for the next match."
"Joe gets all those cute lady digimons," Gomamon said, "And I can't get a date."
"No one wants to date a loser," Tentomon said.
"Tentomon I already told you to stop it a few minutes ago," Izzy said, "The fight is over so stop teasing Gomamon about losing or you won't like the consequences."
"You only won because you were holding back while we were fighting underwater," Gomamon stated.
"I wasn't holding back at all," Tentomon said, "All I was doing was conserving my energy while I was still fighting you."
"That's still holding back," Gomamon said.
"Most of my attacks don't use that much energy," Tentomon said, "And I really couldn't use my electro shocker attack underwater."
"That didn't stop you from using it anyways," Gomamon yelled, "That's the reason I'm hurt this bad."
"What happened while you were underwater Tentomon," Izzy asked.
"Oh Gomamon is just sore that I decided to grab onto him and use my electro shocker attack," Tentomon said, "Though it really did smart."
"That was the worst pain I ever felt," Gomamon said, "I didn't think it was ever going to stop, but then it did and the next thing I know I'm waking up from one of the nurses poking and prodding me to see if I'm fine."
"I wanted to beat you not kill you," Tentomon said.
"You're going at it," Sora said.
"I'm going to see Joe," Izzy said, "I wonder if he's going to be in my place or his?"
"I'm going to see Tai," Sora said, "I'm going to take Matt with me."
"Well have fun then," Izzy said, "Do you know why the others didn't come to see how Joe and I are doing?"
"I'm not sure," Sora said, "I'll ask them when I get back to Tai's place."
"We might as well check both rooms," Tentomon said, "Joe's room is on the way to ours so we should check there first."
"That makes a lot of sense to check both rooms," Izzy said.
"Uh Izzy can you carry me," Gomamon asked a he glares at Tentomon, "It hurts to walk with all these cuts and burns I have at the moment."
"Sure thing Gomamon," Izzy said.
Meanwhile Matt walks back from the training ground. "It's hard to get a training ground," Matt said.
"I wonder about the fights," Gabumon said.
"We'll see it on the computer," Matt said.
"It's free to anyone," Crystal Agumon, "Only the edit forms but I'm sure I can get all the information about it. He can only change you after you lose a fight but I bet there more to it than that."
"Hey Matt," Sora said, "Come with me to Tai's place."
"Why?" Matt asked.
"Just come on," Sora said.
"Uh alright I guess," Matt said.
"What's going on," Gabumon asked.
"You'll find out if you and Crystal Agumon come," Sora said, "But you don't have to if you don't want too."
"I go wherever Matt does," Gabumon said, "He's my friend and partner."
"Looks like I am going as well," Crystal Agumon said, "I just hope Susanna doesn't get mad at me for not going back to see her right away," he muttered.
"You don't have to come if you don't want to," Matt said.
"I want to talk to the others," Crystal Agumon said, "I was able to learn more about what is going on."
They come to the court yard only to have Mimi run up to Matt. "Where is my kiss?" she asked.
"What?!" Matt yelled.
"Tai promised a kiss from you if she hit someone with here attack," Sora said.
"And I want the kiss," Mimi said.
"Oh Tai did," Matt said, "Give me a few minutes to talk to him."
"Ok," Mimi said, "But can I get my kiss first?"
"Uh Mimi I don't think this is a good time at the moment," Palmon said.
Matt walks over to Tai's room and enters, "Tai I need to talk to you for a moment," Matt said annoyed.
"What is it Matt," Tai asked walking over to him only to get punch in the face, "What the hell was that for?!"
"That's for promising that I would do something," Matt stated in an annoyed tone.
"I thought you liked Mimi though," Tai said holding his bleeding nose.
"That doesn't matter at the moment," Matt stated, "What matters is that you promise people that the rest of us will do something for someone else and you don't even bother to mention anything to us till it's too late for us to do anything to get out of it."
"But I thought," Tai said only to be interrupted by Matt.
"You thought," Matt scoffed, "The problem with you Tai is that most of the time you don't think about what you're doing at all."
"Mimi needs a reward for doing a good job and she wants a kiss from you," Tai said.
"I'll kiss her once but find something else to reward her with," Matt said.
Tai smiles. "Daddy is it wrong for him to hit you?" Mary asked.
"I made him angry and he hit me," Tai said, "Hopefully he can keep control of that anger when he talks to Mimi. Matt never says what he's feeling easily."
"What's wrong?" Mimi asked.
"Tai is bribing you to train," Matt said.
"It works better than yelling at me," Mimi said.
"I yelled only because I worry that you'll lose the fight and be taken away," Matt said.
"You do care about me," Mimi cheered.
"Of course I care about you," Matt said, "I care about all of my friends."
"Oh I see," Mimi said in a depressed tone.
"Matt isn't good at expression himself is he at all," Ice asked listening to Matt from the doorway to Tai's room.
"No he isn't," Tai said, "Matt has never been good at expression himself."
"Hey is something wrong Mimi," Matt asked noticing the change in Mimi's attitude, "You seem a little down about something all of a sudden."
"I thought I was more than a friend to you," Mimi said.
"You are," Matt said.
"Then will you become my boyfriend when I'm human?" Mimi asked.
"But you see to train so you can fight and stay with Sora," Matt said.
"Alright," Mimi said as she hugs Matt's leg, "What about my kiss?"
"Well ok," Matt said and gets ready to kiss Mimi, "This is going to be a little weird."
"What do you mean," Mimi asked.
"At the moment you're a digimon," Matt said, "I have never kissed one before and this just feels awkward."
"Just shut up and kiss me already," Mimi said getting annoyed with Matt.
"Alright," Matt said bending down and kisses Mimi.
"That wasn't so bad was it," Mimi asked as Matt ends the kiss a moment later.
"It was really weird," Matt said, "Though it wasn't bad just weird."
"It might not be a good thing that he kissed Floramon," one of the gatomon's whispered to another one.
"Yeah I know what you mean," the other gatomon whispered back.
A few moments earlier some of the gatomons watch as Matt presses his lips to Mimi's. "He did it," another gatomon said.
"What will happen?" Kari asked the others at the door.
"He just won't be able to lie," a feline digimon said, "He can keep himself from saying things but if he tries to lie then he'll tell the truth."
"One of us should ask if Matt likes Mimi," Sora said as she peeks through the small gap.
Kari walks out of the room and over to Matt, "So Matt do you like Mimi," she asked.
"That is none of your business Kari," Matt said.
"I thought you said he shouldn't be able to lie," Sora asked one of the gatomons.
"He didn't lie," the gatomon said, "Your friend didn't really answer the question at all, he just said it was none of Kari's business."
"Hmm I'm going to ask him a different question," Sora said as she walks out of Tai's room and walks up to Matt, "Matt can I ask you something?"
"Yeah I guess," Matt said, "But if it's the same question Kari just asked then I'm going to tell you now that it's none of your business as well."
"Actually I'm just curious if you still have any feelings for me," Sora asked.
"What are you doing Sora," Mimi asked.
"I'll tell you in a minute or two," Sora said to Mimi.
"Well uh um," Matt starts trying to think of what he wants to tell Sora because he's afraid hurting her feelings, "The thing is Sora that I haven't had those type of feelings for you since about three months before you broke up with me," Matt then covers his mouth, 'What the, that's not what I wanted to say,' he thinks.
"I see," Sora said.
"That's not what I meant to say," Matt said.
"Did you like the kiss?" Mimi said.
"Yes," Matt said, "Why did I say that?"
"I don't know but do you like me?" Mimi asked.
Matt tries to say only as a friend but instead he said, "I really like you and would like to be more than a friend."
"Really," Mimi cheered as use her attack to push off the ground and into Matt's arms.
"What's happening to me?" Matt asked.
"It turns out that a floramon's kiss can cause the other person to only tell the truth," Sora said.
"You knew about this didn't you," Matt said.
"Kari and I only just found out before coming out here to ask you a few questions," Sora said, "We overheard some of the gatomons talking about it and asked what they meant."
"Great this is just great," Matt said.
"Matt why did you stay with me for three more months if you didn't love me anymore?" Sora asked.
"I wasn't sure how to tell you," Matt said, "And I didn't want to hurt you at all by breaking up with you. This is really getting annoying."
"This is fun," Mimi said, "So boxers or briefs?"
"Why do you need to know that?" Matt grunted.
"He can avoid the answer," Kari said.
"I'm going to see Joe about this," Matt said.
"Matt," Sora said, "Joe lost a fight to Izzy."
"I was training at that time," Matt said, "I need go back to my place and watch the fights I miss."
"Can I come with you Matt?" Mimi asked.
"I don't see why not," Matt said, "Though it's going to be a little crowded with Gabumon, Crystal Agumon, Ken, Wormmon, and that one gatomon that is staying in my room at the moment."
"I don't mind about that," Mimi said.
"Actually Mimi you need to train some more," Sora said.
"I don't want to train at the moment," Mimi complained, "I want to be with Matt."
"You need to train," Sora said as she grab Mimi, "You want matt to be happy and Matt wants you to train."
"Fine," Mimi said.
"How should we train you?" Sora asked.
Meanwhile Izzy enters his place and finds Joe resting on his couch. His hair side was move back. His nose push out a little, and his ears are starting to flatten. The nurse turn to Izzy. "His change brought his sickness out once more. The good news is since it's a human sickness, when he becomes a digimon he won't be effected by it anymore."
"That's a good thing to hear," Izzy said, "I just hope he doesn't start complaining about being a digimon like he does about other things."
"Hey Joe doesn't complain about everything," Gomamon said.
"Then tell me one thing he doesn't complain about," Tentomon said.
Gomamon glares at Tentomon trying to think of something Joe doesn't usually complain about.
Tentomon waits about a minute, "Can't think of anything can you Gomamon," he said.
"Will the two of you just stop arguing about everything," Izzy said, "It's really starting to get on my nerves and Joe doesn't always complain Tentomon even though it does seem like it at times."
"Oh before I forget here is the ointment for Gomamon's burns," the nurse said, "What you do is rub some of the stuff on his burns at least once or twice a day and try to do it gently as well."
"Ok thanks," Izzy said setting Gomamon down and taking the jar from the nurse, "I'm sure he appreciates it."
"I do," Gomamon said, "But if I was Joe you nurses would be the ones rubbing the cream."
"Gomamon," Izzy said, "How does Joe put up with you."
"Its easy," Gomamon said, "If it was Tentomon then I would be wondering too?"
"Hey," Tentomon yelled.
"Gomamon to the bedroom and Tentomon to the bathroom," Izzy yelled.
"Why can't I go to the bathroom?" Gomamon asked as he made his way to the bedroom.
"You like the water," Izzy said.
"But why are you doing this?" Tentomon asked.
"I'm sick of the two of you fighting," Izzy said, "You two are going to stay separated till you can stop fighting, now get going."
"Oh fine," Gomamon said as he starts heading to the bathroom and Tentomon starts heading for the bedroom.
"Gomamon I told you to go to the bedroom and Tentomon I told you to go to the bathroom," Izzy yelled again.
"Alright already we're going," Tentomon said walking into the bathroom.
"You know Gomamon could probably get into the bathroom through the door linked to the bedroom," the nurse said, "You might want to lock it."
"Actually I left it to where only mine and Tentomon's hand prints work on that one," Izzy said, "But I locked out access to it to everyone except me before even going to the fight with how they were arguing before we even had the fight."
"That's smart," the nurse said.
"He just want to calm himself," Tentomo said as he enter the bathroom. "He doesn't have a computer."
"Don't you have to get back to your job?" Izzy asked.
"No," the nurse answered, "I'm off."
"Those nurses always have one of their kind watching Joe when he's sick," Gomamon yelled from the bedroom.
"Gomamon just stay quiet for the moment," Izzy yelled to Gomamon, "The first time Joe got sick it was your fault in a way because you kept going in and out of the room on the night it had snowed at the other place or so I heard from Joe."
"I was just having some fun that night," Gomamon yelled, "I didn't mean to make Joe sick."
"So why do you think Joe became sick again," Izzy asked.
"Well when the humans who lose the fights are changed so is their immune systems," the nurse said, "The thing is Joe's immune system is being altered at the moment and is still mostly what a human has but is weaker then usual and he wasn't a hundred percent better just yet so it caused him to have a relapse."
"So you are saying that the immune systems of those who have been changed into digimon has been altered?" Izzy asked, "Why is Lord Holy Angemon doing that?"
"Well the thing is there are colds and diseases in the digital world that affect all kinds of digimon," the nurse said, "If the humans that are turned to digimon immune systems aren't also altered, they could catch one of those with their bodies seeming no different from normal digimon and could end up dying from it. So that is why their immune systems is changed and how do you know who the Host is?"
"The gatomon Tai bought at the store is named Mary and she knew who the Host was just from hearing his voice," Izzy said, "Also that is interesting how there are colds and diseases in the digital world and not just the real world."
"Well most of them have been around since the digital world has existed," the nurse said.
"Why do you say most and not all of them?" Izzy asked.
"I have heard rumors that some showed up around the time the D-reaper attacked the digital world almost a century ago," the nurse said, "Some digimon think they were caused when the first humans who came to the digital world managed to become one with their digimon partners and become mega digimon. I think the method the tamers use is called Bio-merging or something like that."
"What there are tamers that can actually become one with their digimon prodigious," Izzy exclaimed, "And have any of these colds or diseases killed any digimon at all and who were the ones that can merge with their digimon?"
"As far as I know not a single digimon has died from any of those sicknesses," the nurse said, "The worse I have seen them do is make it where the digimon that is affected by any of those have bad headaches and start sneezing like crazy at times. I thought you knew who they were, don't you talk with and hang out with them?"
"Huh what do you mean?" Izzy asked confused, "I thought this happened almost a hundred years ago?"
"Takato and three of his friends are the ones who can Bio-merge with their digimon," the nurse said, "After the D-reaper was defeated by them the digital world from what I heard from the Sovereigns was thrown really out of sync with the real world and I'm not sure exactly how much time passed in the real world during that time."
Meanwhile Matt walks back to his room and enters it, "Hey Matt is something wrong?" TK asked, "You seem a little upset about something."
"Yeah I'm upset at the moment," Matt snapped, "Tai promised Mimi I would give her a kiss and what I didn't know is that a Floramon's kiss can have an affect on the one that they kiss and because of it if I try to lie at the moment I end up telling the truth."
"Well you didn't have to say it like that," TK said.
"Sorry I didn't mean for it to come out like that," Matt said, "I wanted to say something else but I just couldn't because of that kiss I gave Mimi."
"Why did you come back here so soon Matt," Ken asked, "I thought you said you were going to be training with Crystal Agumon and Gabumon most of the day?"
"With all the people who are fighting in the next few days the training ground is really crowded and they are only allowing everybody an hour at a time to use it," Matt said, "So I came back here to watch the fight Izzy and Joe had while I was there."
"What do you expect with how most of the people weren't even using it while we were at the beach," Patamon said walking out of the room, "Is something wrong Matt?"
"It's just it looks like your ears are larger then this morning," Matt said, "Maybe you're starting to return to normal but I can't be sure."
"It's still going to take some time," Patamon said, "But I wouldn't mind driving a car before that."
"I can't drive a car when I'm human," TK said.
"We're going to Gatomon's place," Patamon said as he pick up TK.
"Mind if Ken and I come along this time," Wormmon asked.
"Sure you can," Patamon said.
"Hey Ken I have been meaning to ask you if you're feeling ok," TK said, "Since the fight we had you been acting somewhat different."
"I'm fine," Ken said, "I just have a lot of things on my mind and I'm worried about how my parents are doing right now."
"Let's get going," TK said.
'Why not tell them about me yet,' Ken hears the same voice in his head from during the fight him and TK had, 'Or are you scared that your friends might think the darkness is trying to take you over again.'
'I don't know how my friends would react,' Ken responded to the voice, 'And we already have a lot of things to worry about with out them knowing that I'm hearing voices in my head again.'
'I'm surprised you also didn't tell them how worried you are for Yolei as well,' the voice replied to Ken.
"Ken are you ok," Wormmon asked as they are walking to Kari's room, "I was trying to ask you something but you weren't responding."
"I said I'm fine," Ken said a little harsh, "I'm just thinking of where our friends Yolei, Cody, Hawkmon, and Armadillomon could be is all."
'I'll leave you for now,' the voice told Ken, 'Just remember a shadow can only exist in the light. The brighter the light the darker the shadow. Don't confuse darkness with evil.'
'Are you the shadow or the evil that hides in it?' Ken thinks as he follows the others.
Meanwhile Tai rolls his eyes as some gatomons push him out of his place. "We need it for the fashion show," one said, "We want to show the uniforms."
"Alright," Tai said.
"Hey lets get this set up," one of the gatomons shoving Tai out of his room yelled to some of the ones running around outside.
"Why do they keep shoving me out of my room?" Tai asked and loses his balance due to some gatomons running between his legs causing him to fall on his back and knocking him senseless when his head hits the ground.
"Tai are you ok?" Kari asked running over to her older brother.
"I think so Kari," Tai said, "Though my head is pounding and the room is spinning a little bit."
"Come on Lady Kari you're coming with us," two of the gatomons said as they grab Kari and start dragging her along.
"My brother got hurt," Kari said, "I want to make sure Tai's ok."
"The other gatomons still out here will see to that," one of the gatomon said.
"Why do I need to stay in here?" Agumon asked.
"You're the only Agumon," another gatomon said.
"Hey Tai," TK said, "Where's Kari?"
"In there," Tai said pointing at the door to his place, "They won't let anyone in because they are doing a fashion show. Patamon your ears look different."
"Matt also said they look different," Patamon said, "I wonder how long it will take for me to return to normal?"
"You seem disappointed Patamon," Tai said, "I figured you would want to return to normal?"
"I do it's just that I wanted to try a few things before I do," Patamon said, "But I'm wondering if I'll be able to?"
"Hey Tai is something wrong?" Ken asked, "You seem a tad out of it."
"I'm ok," Tai said, "Though I have a splitting headache because a few of the gatomons here were running between my legs and caused me to trip over them and land on my back and hit my head on the ground."
"Ouch that had to hurt," TK said, "Maybe you should have your head checked out just in case?"
"I probably will," Tai said.
"Uh where is Davis and Veemon at?" Ken asked.
"I guess they are still in the room," Tai said.
Ken opens the door only to be push out by a gatomon saying, "You're not allowed back stage until after the fashion show."
"Sorry," Ken said as the gatomons shoves him out of the room.
"They work hard on it," Tai said.
"Yeah they do," TK said, "I wonder what exactly they are doing right now?"
"Well they aren't going to let us in," Tai said, "And they said they are doing a fashion show."
"Yeah I guess you're right," Wormmon said, "So what are we going to do now?"
"Here you go Lord Tai," one of the gatomons said walking out of the room with an ice pack for Tai.
"Uh thanks," Tai said as he takes the ice pack.
"Lord Tai?" Ken asked confused, "Why is she calling you that?"
"The gatomons decided to start calling me that and also calling Agumon that as well," Tai said, "While they keep putting Lady in front of Kari, Gatomon, Mary, and BlackGatomon's names."
"Why do you allow them to do it though?" Wormmon asked.
"Kari and the others keep telling them to stop but they don't seem to want to listen to that one thing," Tai said.
Meanwhile in part of the room, "Lady Kari come on out," a gatomon said.
"Why should I and stop calling me Lady Kari," Kari said, "Just call me Kari."
"Fine if you don't want to come out I'm going to have to come in there Lady Kari," the gatomon responded.
