"Why would the Devas lie about the Sovereign?" Takato asked.
"They used that to scare others," the boy with Agumon as a partner said, "So here we were in the middle of the jungle. As you can see our digimon are not the type that live in the jungle. With the transport device out of power we chose to see what food we could gather and recover from the battle. The next morning we chose to travel to a mountain."
"Why a mountain?" someone asked.
"We could easily see it even through the trees of the jungle," the girl with the Lopmon said, "We didn't want to walk in circles."
Meanwhile Veemon smiles as the last gatomon walks from the playing field. "And we have our eight that are going on to the next round. Which is a swimsuit contest and interviews."
Back at the theme park Rika watch as the imposters smoothly tell their story. Then she asked, "Why did you enter the digi-World?"
"Yeah that is a good question, why did you enter the digi-world," half of the crowd yelled wanting to know, "There had to be a reason in the first place to come here."
"The Devas kid napped a friend of ours," the Lopmon said, "That is the reason we went to the digital world."
'Hmm they are better then I thought,' Rika thinks.
"I know that Lopmon," Suzy's Lopmon said from the bushes by Renamon, "Originally she was one of Zhuqiaomon's Devas, though from what I was told before I became a Deva is that she tried to betray him and go mega to load his data and take his place as the Sovereign of the south sector."
"How does she know what happened with Calumon then," Terriermon asked.
"Even though she tried to betray the Sovereign she wasn't deleted," Lopmon said, "Instead she was reverted to her in-training form and supposedly would never be able to digi-volve again."
"Then how is that Lopmon in her rookie form at the moment," Renamon asked, "And what was her ultimate form then?"
"Well when that Lopmon was working for Zhuqiaomon she had the same ultimate form I do," Lopmon said, "The way that she lost her abilities to digi-volve to that form is the Sovereign took the data for her champion and ultimate forms and put them in me to replace her. At times I think she was following some of the other Devas around and that's how she must have found out about the Sovereign taking Calumon or she could have over heard it from the rest of you while you were looking for Calumon in the digital world the first time your partners came here."
"I heard that your digimon is a fox like digimon in most of her forms," some one yelled pointing at the girl with the Lopmon, "I think her ultimate form was a humanoid fox wearing a kimono or something like that."
'This should be able to prove that they are lying,' Rika thinks but frowns as the girl pulls out her d-arc and swipes a blue card through the d-arc and her partner digi-volves first to Youkomon and then after a few moments digi-volves again into another Taomon, 'This is going to take a lot more thinking and harder questions to prove they are imposters.'
"Oh I have another important question," Takato said grinning, "Thanks to the Hypnos building I think it's called, they revealed that all of you are able to merge with your digimon, I think it is called bio-merging or something like that, how did you achieve that and who was the first one out of the group to do so?"
"I did," the Henry look a like said, "As we climbed off the mountain my partner and I got separated from the rest of them. While we were searching for the others we were attacked. It wouldn't be so bad but I lost my card pack too. A member of the group that attacked us from before had found us. With out the cards I couldn't make my partner digivolve so we were no match for the ultimate. We just ran but he was able to grab me. While my partner tried to free me, it happened. Some how I merged with my partner."
"What is the name of your mega form when you bio-merge then," Rika asked smirking, "And what does he look like?"
"I got a better idea then that," someone said from the crowd, "Bio-merge and show us what your mega forms are right now."
'Now that's not going to be possible,' Rika thinks, 'Renamon I know you're watching this and are nearby, I want you and Guilmon to come when I give you the signal.'
'Alright Rika,' Renamon responded.
'Oh one more thing I don't care about you and the others spying on us this time but next time you do it you're going to wish you hadn't understand,' Rika tells Renamon, 'And I don't just mean you I mean Guilmon as well.'
'I understand completely Rika,' Renamon responded.
"Show us," the crowd yelled, "Show us," the crowd starts chanting.
The girl and Taomon quickly glance at each other, "Well then all of you need to back up about fifty feet to give me room with how large my mega form is," the Henry look a like said as he nods at his Terriermon and the others with him.
'Hmm fifty feet,' Takato thinks, 'Isn't that the amount of room that Taomon's Talisman spell spreads out to in all directions?'
"I got a better idea," Rika said, "Why don't the two of you who have megas the size of human adults bio-merge instead to show us?"
"Our digimon are exhausted from training earlier today," the girl said as the boy with the goggles nods his head, "My partner only has enough energy to go to her ultimate form at the moment."
"While my digimon doesn't have the energy to go champion right now," the boy with the goggles said.
"I heard that bio-merging restores the energy of the digimon that do it," another person from the crowd yelled, "So show us now or are you scared to do it?"
"I said I would bio-merge with Terriermon," the Henry look a like said, "But as I said before I need all of you to back up about fifty feet so I can do so with out hurting anyone."
"Get ready to use your Talisman spell Taomon," the girl whispered to where only her partner could hear and made it so her lips were barely moving.
"We are not moving till one of you Bio-merge and show us what it looks like," Rika said, "Isn't that right everyone?"
"Yeah we aren't going to move," everyone else in the crowd yelled including Takato.
'Renamon come now and bring Guilmon along,' Rika thinks, 'You can either walk to us or teleport over to us, doesn't matter which way you choose to me.'
'Be right there,' Renamon responded, 'With how the crowd is it would be quicker to teleport to you.'
"Hey you wearing the goggles," Rika yelled at the boy with the Agumon, "Come here for a moment."
"What is it you want," the boy asked as he walks up to Rika, "We're trying to show all of you what bio-merging looks like."
Rika smirks as Renamon and Guilmon teleport right in front of the boy causing him to jump back in surprise and shock, "I like you to meet my partner Renamon and my friend's partner Guilmon," Rika said and walks up to him, "Tell these people that you aren't the ones you have been saying you are or else," she whispered to the boy.
"Why should I," the boy whispered back, "It's not like you or anyone else knows who they really are, now stop trying to scare me and go back to listening to what we are saying."
"My friends and I know a lot more then you think boy," Rika whispered, "I'll give you a chance to let these people know that you aren't the real tamers who defeated the D-reaper."
"Why don't you go play with your boyfriend whore if you know what I mean," the boy whispered to Rika in a nasty tone.
"So that is how you want it so be it," Rika growled at the boy in disgust, "Renamon, Takato, and Guilmon lets show these three morons who we are."
"Uh are you ok Rika," Takato asked noticing the change in her attitude, "You seem pissed all of a sudden."
"Why shouldn't I be," Rika growled, "That poser called me a whore just because I told him to stop what they are doing right now."
"You called Rika," Renamon asked as she stands next to her.
"What are you two doing here?" Takato asked.
"Spying on Terriermon and Lopmon," Guilmon said.
"Never mind that," Rika said, "Lets show them."
"Alright," Takato said.
Soon in the middle of the crowd, stood Gallantmon Crimson Mode and Sakuyamon. Sakuyamon points her staff at them and said, "Who is the whore and whose the liar?"
"Brother, sister," The kid with the goggles said, "Lets get out of here." The three slip into the crowd. Sakuyamon could only watch the three run away as she is swarmed by humans and digimon. All started to ask questions.
"Get back," Gallantmon CM said in his dual voice, "We'll tell you what you want to know later but right now we have three imposters to deal with."
"Forget about them," the crowd yelled, "They aren't worth doing something stupid."
"Let's just forget about those cowards," Sakuyamon said, "These people are right and they aren't worth it, we'll deal with them in some other way that will humiliate them in the process."
"Was anything that those people said true," someone asked.
"Not a single word of what they said was true," Gallantmon CM said, "Except for the reason of coming to the digital world, other then that most of it was all lies."
"So if most of what they said was lies is the Sovereign that the Devas talked about real," another person asked.
"Yes Zhuqiaomon is very much real and is a phoenix like digimon," Sakuyamon said, "When we first ran into him, he was bent on destroying us and the rest of our friends that were with us at the time being."
"We have things we need to do and have to get going," Gallantmon CM said, "So no more questions will be answered at this time. Lets get going Sakuyamon," he said as he puts his arm around her waist and takes to the air.
Meanwhile back in the courtyard, "Do we have to wear these," one of the gatomons asked tugging at the bikini she's wearing.
"Yes," Veemon said drying the drool from his face. "You don't wear it you lose," he said as he dries the drool from Davis' face. "Mary or I will ask a question and you'll answer. Then Tai, Kari, Agumon, Gatomon and Black Gatomon will rate you from one to ten. The feline with the highest score wins Davis, the second highest wins Gomamon and the one with the lowest gets stuck with Tentomon."
"Hey," The gatomons in swimsuits yelled.
"Alright no one will win Tentomon," Veemon said.
"I'll ask the first question," Mary said, "For this round please tell us your name and then your answer. The question is if you could have any toy what toy would you have and why."
The first gatomon walks up. "I'm bubbles and I would have a teddy bear because they're cute and they're nice to hug."
"That's a strange name for a gatomon," Kari said.
"I agree with you about that Kari," Gatomon said, "There has to be a reason why she has that name."
The second gatomon walks up still tugging at the bikini with how uncomfortable it feels to her, "My name is Meika and I would choose a ball because they are fun to hit and chase after."
"Good day," the next gatomon said, "I'm Jewel. I would have a diamond because they shine in the light. Pick me."
The next gatomon slowly walks up. "Um...Hi," she said. She stops and looks at everyone. Her body shakes. "I would have...Davis because not only is he a chew toy but...he would be a cute boyfriend."
'Great how many of the other gatomons see me as a chew toy at the moment,' Davis thinks.
Before the gatomon could walk away Mary said, "We need to know your name as well remember."
"Oh right," she said, "My name is um...Betty."
"She seems to be really nervous," Gatomon said, "I guess she isn't used to being the center of attention."
"Well not everyone likes to be," Tai said as he looks at Matt, "Unlike someone we know."
"Some people just don't feel comfortable with that," Sora said, "While for other people it comes to them naturally."
"Hi everyone," the next gatomon cheered. "This is the beautiful Jill. I would get the video camera so everyone can see my beauty all the time."
The next gatomon walks up. "I'm Jenny but everyone calls me crazy. I would like a dog that would chase me around and almost bite my tail off."
'Please don't let her win,' Davis thinks.
"No wonder everyone calls her crazy," TK said, "Because she is."
"I agree with that buddy," Patamon said.
"Hi my name is Lucy," the next gatomon said as she walks up, "I would also choose Davis because he's cute, sexy and sweet, I wouldn't mind cuddling up with him on a cold night and it's funny how he gets himself into these kinds of things."
'At least she didn't use the reason as using me for a chew toy,' Davis thinks.
Lucy starts to walk away but stops, "Oh and it would be fun to tease him and use him as a chew toy as well," she added.
'Great,' Davis thinks.
The last one walks up. "My name is Verna," the gatomon said, "I would pick a dodge ball because it's fun to hit people."
"Thanks," Veemon said, "The judges has written down the score. The next question is why do you have your name?"
Bubbles walks up, "Well part of the reason I have the name Bubbles is that in my rookie form I'm an Otamamon," she said, "The other reason is that I love water still even though I'm a gatomon now."
Meanwhile back at the theme park with Gallantmon CM and Sakuyamon, "Why did you grab me like that," Rika asked from the sphere inside of Sakuyamon.
"I didn't think you would want to answer all kinds of questions," Takato said from the sphere inside of Gallantmon CM, "I know how much you hate when people start doing that."
"Find somewhere to land that there isn't anyone around in that area," Sakuyamon said.
"Alright I can do that," Gallantmon CM said.
"There," Sakuyamon said pointing.
The two digimons land. After a while, Rika said, "What is going on? I can't move at all."
"I can't move either," Takato said.
"I can," Renamon said.
"Me too," Guilmon said.
"You know we never kissed like this," Renamon said as Sakuyamon moves closer to Gallantmon CM.
"Guilmon stop this and give me back control," Takato said.
"Why should I," Guilmon said, "We're not in any danger and nothing is going to attack us so it doesn't really matter at the moment."
Before Takato or Rika can say anything else Gallantmon CM pulls the part of his helmet covering his mouth down and moves even closer to Sakuyamon, "Renamon don't," Rika yelled only to be ignored as Gallantmon CM's and Sakuyamon's lips touch.
Takato watches from the inside as Guilmon causes Gallantmon CM to kiss Sakuyamon and starts to make out, after a few moments Gallantmon CM closes his eyes, 'That does it, I'm separating,' both Takato and Rika think at the same time, 'It couldn't be any worse then being forced to make out.'
Sakuyamon and Gallantmon CM wrap their arms around each other in a hug and pull themselves closer together as they start french kissing with him starting to stick his tongue into her mouth before both of them are surrounded by a bright light.
A moment later Takato, Rika, Renamon, and Guilmon are all standing next to each other with Renamon and Guilmon's eyes still closed. After a moment Renamon opens her eyes to find herself staring into Takato's and their lips pressed together causing her to blush in embarrassment as she pulls away.
"I guess that wasn't a smart idea," Takato said.
'This wasn't a very bright idea,' Rika thinks as she's trying to get out of Guilmon's grip as he's french kissing her.
"Uh Guilmon," Takato started to say only to get glared at by Renamon.
Renamon moves a little closer to Guilmon as she takes a deep breath, "Guilmon," she yelled in his ear startling him and causing him to open his eyes.
Guilmon's eyes grow wide in surprise and horror when he sees that he's actually kissing Rika as he pulls his tongue out of his mouth and removes his arms from around her as well, "I didn't realize who I was kissing," he said nervously.
Rika then spits on the ground as she glares daggers at them, "Any of you even mention this happened to anyone else and I'll kill all of you myself," she growled and turns her gaze completely on Renamon, "This is your fault."
"How is it my fault," Renamon stated, "That wouldn't have happened if the two of you hadn't made us separate in the middle of the kiss."
"You shouldn't kiss in the first place," Rika said, "We're going home."
"Rika," Renamon said, "you spent to much time in that kiss with Guilmon. Stay with Takato. I'm not letting you get my Guilmon." The fox digimon pulled Guilmon to her. "We must be going." With that Renamon faded away with Guilmon.
"Well after you," Takato said.
After Jewel's long story about how she got her name, Betty walks up to the microphone. She shakes even more "I'm called Betty because that's what others decided to call me."
Jill walks up, "I chose the name Jill because there isn't any other name pretty enough for me," she said.
After Jill walks down Jenny walks up and said, "Well I chose the name Jenny because I didn't know what else to choose, though I already told you why every one calls me crazy which I don't really understand."
Next Verna walks up, "Well I'm not sure how I got my name," she said, "All I really know is that some of my friends started calling me that one day and it just stuck."
Lucy walks up and starts explaining how she got her name as well, a few minutes later Lucy walks away, "Now for the next question," Mary said, "How did you get this far?"
"I got here by being better than every one else," Jewel said.
Slowly Betty walks up. "I got here by luck," she said, "I never win anything."
Rika stops with her arms folded. "That fake is still going to get it."
"Calm down," Takato said, he stops and looks at the group watching a gatomon. "Hey Tai what's going on?"
"We're doing a contest thing for one of these eight gatomons to win Davis," Mary said.
"Right now we're asking them questions and Kari, Tai, Agumon, Gatomon, Black Gatomon are acting as the judges," Veemon said.
"What's with Gomamon being tied up as well," Takato asked, "I know you said why Davis is I think but Gomamon doesn't make any sense."
"The gatomon who comes in second gets Gomamon," TK said, "Veemon decided to add that after he showed up and tried to get in the middle of the playing field that the gatomons were playing dodge ball in."
"What they said is generally what's going on," Tai said, "I guess I'll have to be quicker next time to answer you before they can."
"If you want to watch it is kind of interesting," Crystal Agumon said, "Though one of them seems to be crazy."
"I'm not crazy," Jenny yelled.
"I'm next," Jill said, "I win because I'm more beautiful than all of you."
"I'm Jenny," the gatomon cheered as she runs up. "Just working hard."
"Is Rika feeling ok," Kari asked, "She seems really mad about something."
"Rika's just mad that three people are trying to take credit for what we did," Takato said, "Interestingly enough one of them looks like Henry does before he got turned to a gryphon and has a Terriermon for a partner as well. The girl that was trying say she did what Rika did has a Lopmon that can digivolve to Taomon as well."
"I would get mad about that myself," Gatomon said, "Also I don't think that is the only reason Rika is in the current mood she's in."
"There is nothing else," Rika said as she glares at Takato, "Right Takato?"
"Uh right," Takato said, "Except that the boy that looks like Henry was really nasty and insulted Rika."
"Some people can be real jerks," Kari said as she looks at Davis, "And some can be worse then others, like the one that insulted Rika."
'At least Kari doesn't think I'm that bad I think,' Davis thinks.
"Oh Takato I like to ask if I can watch some of the episodes of the cartoon about us from your world," Izzy said, "I want to see how much alike it actually is to our world and the things we have been through."
"I didn't tell them," Takato said backing away from Rika as her glare becomes worse if that is even possible, "Impmon blurted it out awhile ago and I guess Tai told the others."
"Actually one of the nurses who was looking after Joe told me about what you and your friends did to save this sector of the digital world," Izzy said, "And I started asking more questions and she said something about there being a cartoon that has us in it."
"How would she know about that," Takato asked.
"She talks to those she tending," Izzy said, "To calm them."
"Next question," Veemon said.
"Enough questions," Jewel yelled, "Just end this and give me Davis."
"If that's what you want," Mary said, "Judges please hand your score cards in."
Meanwhile Knightmon rubs his face. "How do you handle all these fights?" He asked, "I mean they are long and most are poorly fought."
"I just can," Lord Holy Angemon said from a screen, "How is it you can stand being the one training the humans turned digimon who lose and refuse to choose a partner?"
"I only keep an eye on their training," Knightmon said, "I have some of the digimon that work for me do most of the training of those digimon."
"I have more important things to do then talk to you at the moment Knightmon," Lord Holy Angemon said, "We can talk when and if you come back here."
"I'll be coming back because you know that I'm the one who usually tells you want the master wants you and the others to do since the rest of you can't really handle being in his presence," Knightmon said, 'I just hope that prophecy I found and have been looking over is right,' he thinks.
"The only reason you can stand to be around him is because you are already insane so it doesn't affect you," Lord Holy Angemon said before ending the conversation.
"What the hell do you want Wizardmon," Knightmon snapped as he turns around to look at the digimon who has been listening to the conversation he had.
"I just wanted to let you know that most of the rebels have retreated," the Wizardmon said, "They underestimated our forces and had to retreat."
"That's good," Knightmon said, "Now get back to work before I decide to delete you."
"Y-yes sir," the Wizardmon said nervously, "I-I'll get back to w-w-what I'm supposed to be doing."
"You put more fear into the digimon that work for you then Lord Holy Angemon does," Dark Angewomon said as she appears from the shadows.
"Why are you here at the moment," Knightmon said in a nasty tone, "I figured you would be doing what the master wants you to do right now."
"That can wait a little longer since we really don't have much to worry about," Dark Angewomon said.
"You know that the master hates it when any of us doesn't do what he wants us to do right away," Knightmon said.
Meanwhile with the Wizardmon, "I hate it when any of them are here besides Knightmon," he said, "He's even harsher then usual when they are around."
"Hey Wizardmon is something wrong," a Piximon asked flying up next to him.
"Nothing really except that one of the other digimon that work with Knightmon is here," Wizardmon said, "And you know how he acts when they are around."
"Of course I do," Piximon said, "Knightmon acts like he wants to kill us when they are here or at least threatens us with that."
Meanwhile Veemon and Mary look at score sheets. "They're taking a long time," Kari said.
"Math must not be their strong point," Gatomon said.
"This could take a while," Tai said, "I'm going to check up on the others that aren't watching. Call me when they are ready to call the winner." He turns to see a few gatomons wrapping Matt's head in bandages. The rest of his body was already done.
"Don't worry we will Tai," TK said.
"What are you doing to Matt," Tai asked.
"Matt got hurt so we are helping him Lord Tai," one of the gatomons said.
"I don't think he's going to be too happy when wakes up like that," Tai said grinning from seeing Matt dressed up like a mummy.
"Matt will be fine," Gabumon said walking up to them.
"I'll be back in a moment Gatomon," Kari said, "I'm going to talk to Meika because to me she seems upset or depressed about something."
"I think you might be right Kari," Gatomon said, "She did seem like she didn't want to talk about how she got her name."
Kari walks over to Meika, "Hey is there something wrong Meika," she asked, "You seem really upset and depressed at the moment."
"It's nothing Lady Kari," Meika said in a depressed tone, "I'll be fine."
"Are you sure you're ok," Kari asked.
"I said I'm fine," Meika snapped and takes a deep breath trying to calm herself, "Sorry I didn't mean to sound so angry Lady Kari."
"No it's ok," Kari said, "I will let you be if you want to and you can tell me later what's bothering you."
'Maybe I should tell someone,' Meika thinks, "Lady Kari wait I think I actually want to talk about what's bothering me right now."
"Ok," Kari said, "So what is bothering you?"
"Well it's kind of hard for me to say it," Meika said, "Though since it happened in the digital world decades have passed while in the real world from what I over heard it's been only three years at most I think."
"You have been to the tamers real world," Kari asked.
"Yeah I have been there," Meika said, "The friend I said that gave me my name lived in the real world."
"So you already knew about humans and what the real world is like before all of us arrived here," Kari said, "Have you seen your friend at all since any of us got here?"
"No I haven't seen Jessica," Meika said, "She was my Tamer before I was forced back into the digital world the same day that the D-reaper was defeated."
"Wouldn't she still be your tamer though," Kari asked, "I mean all of the other digimons that have human partners were reunited with theirs."
"I wish I hadn't been pulled back into the digi-world that day," Meika said as tears start filling in her eyes, "I know I could have done something if I hadn't been."
"Why what happened that day," Kari asked.
"As I was being pulled into the digital gate above me, after reverting to me rookie form of Salamon," Meika said as she starts crying, "Jessica was yelling for me to stay which I wanted to but couldn't and promised her we would meet again, but as I got higher up I could only watch in horror as she was waving by to me a car lost control and hit her and I could tell the impact from the hit killed her instantly. I know I could have protected her if I hadn't been getting pulled back into the digital world."
"Meika it's not your fault that happened," Kari said as she's on the verge of crying herself from what she just heard, "Even if you were there you don't if you could have done anything to keep her from getting killed."
"We're done scoring," Mary cheered, "The first place winner is..."
"Wait," Veemon yelled, "Lets tell the second place winner first. Which is Jenny."
"Yea," Jenny cheered.
"How about a word or two," Veemon said.
"I'm Happy I won Gomamon," Jenny said, "Because he looks more like a dog." Then she jumps onto Gomamon.
"Why did I get stuck with the crazy one," Gomamon asked.
"Next is the first place winner," Mary said, "But first I just like to tell each of the girls you get to keep the swim suits you're in."
"Come on just tell us who got first place," Jewel yelled becoming impatient.
"At least they got the second place winner right," Black Gatomon said, "I hope they got the first place winner right as well."
"So who is the first place winner," TK asked.
"Yeah who is it," Patamon asked, "Mary and Veemon are taking forever to tell us so can you?"
"You'll just have to wait and find out like everyone else," Gatomon said.
"We were on our way home when I started feeling strange and then started to get pulled into the digital world," Meika cried, "Maybe we would have made it home before anything like that happened if I hadn't started getting pulled back here."
"Are you sure Jessica died," Kari asked, "I mean could you be mistaken and she's still alive in the real world?"
"At first it seemed like she would be ok," Meika cried, "But the same vehicle that had lost control flipped and landed on top of her right before I was fully pulled back into the digital world, least that's how it looked to me and the Host said he was going to bring all of the humans who had digimon from the real world here."
"That is just awful how she died," Kari said.
"And the first place winner is," Veemon said, "But first another word from our sponsors."
"Just tell us already," almost everyone there yelled.
"Alright," Veemon said, "None of you can take a little joke sheesh."
"We have been waiting for about fifteen minutes for the two of you to tell us who the winners are and so far you only told us who the second place winner is," Verna yelled.
