Viximon starts to wake up, "Huh what am I doing here," she said seeing that the surroundings has changed from what they were before using her attack.
"Bout time you returned to normal Viximon," Guilmon said walking over to her, "How are you feeling? Ryo told us that they had been doing things to you to make you suffer."
"That isn't true," Viximon said, "A few minutes after I woke up Ryo had said something that pissed me off so I used my attack, where is Rika at?"
"She's with Takato," Guilmon said, "She doing some training."
"How long was I out for?" Viximon asked.
"It took about a day to get you from the poison filled room. Don't worry about our eggs they haven't hatched yet," Guilmon said.
"We're back," Takato said.
Viximon runs over to him. Next to him a red fur renamon that is shorter than most. "Rika," Viximon asked.
"Yea," the red renamon said.
"What has been going on since I was out?" Viximon asked.
"After you did you little stunt, Ryo charged up to us," Rika said, "Ryo and Takato got into a fight."
"If you want Viximon I could tell you what happened during the fight and right after it," Takato said, "Though it might be a little difficult for me to explain."
"Sure I want to hear what happened and Guilmon said it's been about a day since the fight we had," Viximon said, "Why do you say it's going to be hard to explain?"
"Well remember what happened when I bio-merged before we went on that one task to deliver that stuff," Takato asked.
"Oh I think I understand," Viximon said.
"Actually Viximon it's been about twenty-six hours or so since the fight we had," Rika said, "Ryo didn't show up till around a few hours after our fight had ended, what Guilmon meant is it's been about a day since Takato and Ryo's fight."
"Oh I didn't realize that," Viximon said.
Takato starts explaining to Viximon what happened during the entire fight, "Then as we launched our final attacks or I could say Gallantmon and Justimon launched their attacks the force of it threw both of us back and I was so out of it that I wasn't sure who won at first."
"Takato stop wording it in both points of view and just do one of the other," Rika stated getting annoyed.
"Ok I didn't mean to make you mad," Takato said and continues explaining what happened.
Flashback
Gallantmon lays on the ground dazed and out of it for a few minutes before moving and asked in Guilmon's voice, "Did we win?"
"I'm not sure," Gallantmon said in Takato's voice who sounds out of it still.
"Hopefully we did because I can't hold this form any more," Guilmon said right before Gallantmon split into Takato and Guilmon.
Takato looks over the area they are fighting in and at first doesn't see any sign of Justimon until he spots Ryo and Monodramon, "Looks like we won boy," Takato said as he notices that Monodramon is unconscious and Ryo is just barely conscious.
Takato turns to Rika and gives her his usual smile and notices his other self staring back at him before he turns to data and goes back into him, "Uh Takato are you ok," Guilmon asked seeing the strange look on Takato's face.
"Yeah I'm fine Guilmon," Takato said, "It just felt really weird staring at myself and then watching him turning into data and becoming a part of me again," he whispered so the host wouldn't hear him.
"The winner is Takato," The host said, "And as the winner you get all of Ryo's digimons and Ryo. He broke the rule first so he will be punish."
"What kind of punishment are you going to give him," Takato asked, "Or is that my choice to make since I was fighting him?"
"I already chose what his punishment will be," the Host said, "Though it won't come into affect till he turns completely into a digimon."
"What about Viximon," Rika asked, "Where is she?"
"That digimon is currently stuck in Ryo's room which is unaccessible for the time being do to using her attack," the Host said, "And also since Cyberdramon decided to destroy the access panel to the room."
"So until that poisonous gas clears Viximon is going to be stuck as a stone statue," Guilmon said loud enough for Takato and Rika to hear so they don't get worried about her.
"I think we should get going Guilmon and Rika," Takato said, "Also I'm wondering how we are going to get Ryo and Monodramon back to my room since both of them are unconscious now."
"Yes do go and take those two with you," the Host said.
"If you say so Lord Holy Angemon," Takato said, "If you're wondering how I know who you are it's displaying your data on my improved D-arc," he said and holds it to where the Host can see it displaying a 3D image of himself.
"So you know who I am," the Host said, "That makes no difference to me, though I already know that most of the humans here have some how figured it out already."
"Now how are we going to do this," Takato said looking at Ryo and Monodramon, "Do you think you could carry one of them Guilmon?"
"Sorry but I'm too exhausted," Guilmon said, "I'm having trouble keeping myself at the rookie stage with how much of my energy I used up."
"I can help with that," Rika said grinning as she appears right in front of Takato, "I guess being able to bio-merge made it a lot easier to know how to use my abilities as a digimon for the time being."
"Ok I guess that will help us then," Takato said after recovering from the scare Rika gave him, "How many do you think you can take back to the room at once?"
"I'm not sure," Rika said.
Takato turns to Andrew with Dodomon next to him, "I'm not trying to sound mean or anything but do you think you could walk back to the room because I have no clue how many Rika will be able to teleport at once or whatever the ability is called."
"Yeah I don't think I have a choice at the moment anyways," Andrew said, "Also it will give me a little time to talk to Dodomon here."
"Alright lets try this and see if it works," Rika said, "Though I don't want to touch either of them so Takato and Guilmon you two will have to hold on to them in some way or at least touch them I think."
Takato couldn't help but grin as an idea starts to form in his head as to one way he could make contact with Ryo but shakes it out of his head as he just grabs his left wrist and puts his hand on Rika's shoulder, "I'm ready," Takato said, "How about you Guilmon?"
"Yeah I am," Guilmon said as he shoves part of his foot under Monodramon's back and puts his hand on Rika's other shoulder.
"Ok lets do this," Rika said and concentrates as her and the rest of them disappears from sight.
A few moments later they appear in Takato's room, "Looks like it worked Rika," he said only for her to collapse, "Rika are you ok?!"
"That took a lot out of me," Rika panted before passing out.
End Flash back
"Did you have to explain every single little thing that happened after the fight up to the point we got back here Takato," Rika asked, "I mean you only had to tell some of the stuff."
"Oh I guess I got a little carried away," Takato said and grins his goofy grin.
Viximon turns to the door as she hears it open, "Why did the two of you leave me and Dodomon back there like that," Andrew panted as he comes into the room.
"Did you run all the way back here," Takato asked.
"Yeah so what if I did," Andrew panted.
"Want to know why we left you there," Rika said, "Because you were getting really annoying with all your whining and complaining because I was beating you while we were training so you can learn to use the abilities of your new body and so I can improve mine till we return to normal."
"But it's not fair," Andrew said, "You knew you abilities from the start."
"Where is Ryo and his partner?" Viximon asked.
A monodramon runs in the room. On one ear is a pick ribbon. "Hello," the monodramon said in a high pitch but soft voice.
Rika tail wags as she said, "Here is Ryo. He was the first to bio-merge and Lord Holy Angemon made him into a her."
"He must have done something to make her attract male digimon," Takato said as he sat down.
"That's why it took so long for her to get back," Rika said slipping onto the couch. She didn't notice that she is on Takato's lap. She turns to face Takato and jumps to her feet.
Viximon smiles. "Don't worry," Guilmon said, "Renamon done that to me too. I think renamon does that with their mate if they don't think about it."
"That's true," Viximon said.
"Great so now your saying I'm going to do things like that with out thinking about it," Rika stated as she's getting really annoyed.
"It's not exactly like that," Viximon said, "Most of the time you'll be able to stop yourself before you do it, least I am able to especially when your with other friends and people you don't really know."
"You better be right about that," Rika said.
Viximon turns to Guilmon and sees a confused look on his face as he's staring at one of Rika's gloves, "Is something wrong Guilmon," Viximon asked.
"I'm fine," Guilmon said, "It's just that the heart on Rika's one glove was whole earlier and not broken in two I thought?"
"Maybe you are mistaken," Viximon said and her stomach starts growling, "Now that I think about I'm really hungry, is there anything for me to eat?"
"Guilmon I thought you said you would give Viximon her food when she woke up," Takato said.
"I was going to but she woke up right before you and Rika walked in and then you started telling her what happened," Guilmon said, "So I didn't get the chance too."
"I was only awake for about three minutes I think before you two walked in," Viximon said, "All he really told me is that you were training Rika."
"Here your food," Guilmon said pushing food onto the table, "Also our eggs have not hatch yet, I just checked on them and it looks like they could hatch soon, but I could be wrong."
"Thanks," Viximon said.
Meanwhile Tai walks from his place. There he saw Gatomon and Agumon playing with the gatomons. A gatomon a little larger than the rest came running up to Tai. "Hey Kari?" he said.
"Hi," Kari said, "It looks like Betty is taking winning Davis serious." They watch Davis walk away with Betty close to him.
"Yeah looks like she is," Tai said, "I wonder how Davis is taking it?"
"I think he's taking it better then most would I guess," Kari said, "It seems like Davis doesn't really mind the attention, well at least not yet."
"Are you planning to do something Kari," Tai asked.
"No I'm just wondering how long Davis can stand Betty being that close is all I mean," Kari said, "And I figured he would have been doing anything to get away from her."
"I think your jealous with the way you're currently acting Kari," Tai said in a teasing tone.
"Why would I be jealous of that stupid jerk being with a digimon," Kari said.
"I don't know," Tai said, "But with the way you have been acting since yesterday makes it seem like you are too me."
"I'm not jealous," Kari said, "I'm just curious as to why Davis is acting the way he is towards her instead of running from her like he does from some other girls that act in similar ways towards him."
"Well you better be careful Kari," Tai said grinning, "Because curiosity did kill the cat."
"That was just bad Tai," Kari groaned.
"Yeah that was really bad," the gatomons that overheard him yelled.
Meanwhile with Izzy and the others in his room, "This is going to take awhile to get used to," Joe said looking himself over, "I'm not even that good of a swimmer and I got turned into a gomamon."
"Hey what's wrong with being a gomamon," Gomamon asked.
"I didn't say anything was wrong, but," Joe said.
"But what," Giomamon asked.
"It's that I'm a human and not a digimon," Joe said.
"Forget about him for the moment," Jenny said.
"When did you get here," Gomamon asked as his face goes pale from hearing Jenny's voice if it's even possible with his face already being white, "I thought you were still at Tai's place?"
"I decided to come here because I wanted to have a little fun with the prize I won," Jenny said a grin on her face that makes her look insane since she actually is.
"But that was only for that day," Gomamon said trying to come up with an excuse to not be around her.
"Actually there was nothing in the rules that said it was only for a single day," Jenny said.
"She's right about that Gomamon," Tentomon said.
"It our training time," Izzy said, "Tentomon, Joe we're leaving to go to the training ground."
"What about me?" Gomamon asked.
"I just want to train Joe and Tentomon would be fine," Izzy said, "I could only get a ground for two digimons."
"That means we'll be alone but the ghost," Jenny said.
"Help," Gomamon called out to the three leaving.
Meanwhile Lord Holy Angemon looks at the screen with a list of all the Digi-destined and Tamers on it. "It seems that we're almost out of partners with only one digimon," he said, "I guess I'll pair them off and take care of the humans that gained two partners and have not fought in the tournament."
"Sir two of the humans you want to fight against their brothers are still stuck as digimon from that ride they went on," Yolei said not being able to call them her friends or use their names due to the collar she's wearing.
"I already know that Maidmon," Lord Holy Angemon said, "I'm planning it for when they return to being human."
"Your meal," Yolei said.
"Finally," Lord Holy Angemon said, "What took so long?"
"The cooks are going as fast as they can and they didn't have any the food you asked for. Maybe you should think about what you order," Yolei said.
"Watch you mouth," Lord Holy Angemon said, "If you weren't so cute I would have made you into an egg awhile ago."
"Then why don't you do it now you stupid prick," Yolei managed to say.
"Why you insolent little brat," Lord Holy Angemon growled in pure rage.
'Hmm looks like if her stubbornness is strong enough at the time she can slightly overcome the affects of the collar on her,' Knightmon thinks as he watches him getting ready to hit her but stops.
"You," Lord Holy Angemon yelled as he points at a random digimon in the room, "Get Maidmon out of my sight and make sure she is punished for her behavior, that should teach her a lesson in respect."
"Understood sir," the digimon said nervously as he gets ready to leave with Yolei.
"Wait a moment," Lord Holy Angemon said, "Maidmon you insult me again like that and I'll permanently delete your partner Hawkmon and revert you to a digi-egg and make sure that your friends will never be able to find you and even if they do find you they wouldn't be able to get to you with where I plan to send you."
"And where is that you plan to send her as a digi-egg," Knightmon asked, "If she insults you again like that or worse?"
"I'll send her into the core of the digital world where no one will be able to get to Maidmon ever," Lord Holy Angemon said.
"Hmm not even Magnamon can with stand that kind of heat," Knightmon said, 'Though with the right digimon they wouldn't have to go into the core, they would just need that digimon to teleport her digi-egg to them if it hasn't been destroyed by the heat, if that ever happens,' he thinks.
Meanwhile with TK and Patamon, "Are you sure it's safe to be walking around with out one of the others even if we are just heading over to Tai and Kari's place," TK asked a little nervously since Patamon is mostly back to normal except for some blonde hair on his head still.
"Yeah we'll be fine," Patamon said, "You are feeling ok right TK?"
"I am," TK said, "It's just since I became a female digimon from that ride I been really nervous about some things, one of them is not having a human around when I'm not in the room."
"It's not bad," Patamon said, "When your male you would like to be with others. I remember you start to cry when you were younger. Plus you been a male all your life being a girl is a major change."
"So I'm not changing it just another part of me that comes out with the major change in my life," TK said.
"You could say that," Patamon said, "Lets get to Gatomon's place. None of the workers ever travel there."
"Actually I think every now and then they do," TK said, "A few of the times we have been there an Agumon or other rookie digimon has been there to deliver food when Tai or one of the others don't get it for all the gatomons."
"I meant besides them," Patamon said, "Though the agumons and other rookie digimon that go there are nice compared to a lot of the other digimon that work here."
"What do you two think you are doing wondering around with out you're human partner or partners," a digimon asked from around the corner that they can't see just yet.
"We're just heading to see some of our friends," Patamon said.
"Yeah that's what we are doing," TK said becoming really nervous and fidgety.
"Well I can't allow you to be alone so you two are coming with me," a Guardromon said as he walks from around the corner in front of them.
"We aren't going anywhere with you," Patamon said, "Now just leave us alone."
"Please just leave us alone," TK said nervously and then becomes somewhat angry as Guardromon tries to grab her, "V-Head Butt," she yelled and slams her head into him and sends him flying into the wall behind him.
"Uh maybe we should get out of," Patamon started to say after TK did that to Guardromon.
"Oh no Guardromon are you ok," Kazu yelled as he comes running around the corner and to his partner's side, "Hey it was only a joke so why did you do that?"
"It didn't seem like a joke when he tried to grab me," TK said in an angry tone.
"What is the big idea doing something like that," Patamon asked, "I see why you got punched in the face the other day, because you're a total idiot and jerk it seems to me like Gatomon told me."
"Lets just go Patamon," TK said, "I don't want to waist time being around something like that."
"You're right let's just go," Patamon said as they walk past Kazu, Guardromon, Kenta and MarineAngemon.
About five minutes later TK and Patamon arrive at the courtyard to Tai, Takato, and Kari's rooms, "Hey Patamon," Gatomon said running up to them.
"Oh hey Gatomon," Patamon said.
"Is something wrong Patamon," Gatomon asked, "You seem a little upset about something?"
"It's just that jerk Kazu decided to play a mean trick on us," TK said, "He had his Guardromon act like one of the workers and he tried to grab me and I have a bad headache from what I did to him."
"When he tried to grab TK," Patamon said, "She used her V-Head butt attack and sent him flying into the wall behind him and after Kazu ran up to his partner we left after saying a few things to him."
"I didn't know any Veemons could be that strong," Gatomon said.
"They usually aren't," Veemon said over hearing their conversation, "Before I was put under the digi-egg of courage I saw some other Veemons try to do something like that to certain types of champion level digimon only to end up getting deleted from their own attack or just seriously injured, especially against Guardromons."
"I thought you didn't have any memories from before being put under the digi-egg of courage," Patamon asked.
"Well I do have some memories but most of them are very vague and it's hard to tell what happens in most of them," Veemon said, "So I just let everyone believe I didn't really have any from before then."
"Hey you two where is Matt at," Tai asked.
"I'm not really sure," TK said, "He said he wanted to do a few things today, I think he said something about training for a little bit though."
"That's mainly what he's been doing," Tai said.
"You never been to the training ground," TK said.
"Why go there when I have gatomon for my partners to play with," Tai said as he points at Agumon firing a weak attack at a gatomon. "They are using weak attacks but they are using more of them."
"I guess I see your point," TK said.
Rika walks from the room. "Hey Rika," Tai said, "How's life as a digimon?"
"Hmpf, it's fine I guess," Rika stated, "I'm just out here to get some fresh air so don't bother me."
"I wonder what Rika is upset about this time," Patamon asked, "She seems to be in a bad mood most of the time."
"Who knows," Kari said, "That's just the way Rika is."
"Oh Lady Kari and Lord Tai I almost forgot to let you know that Jenny told me she was going over to Izzy's place to see Gomamon," Bubbles said walking over to them.
"I feel kind of sorry for Gomamon having to deal with her," Kari said, "I hope he's able to survive from the way she acts."
"Well Gomamon shouldn't have tried to interfere with the dodge ball game a few days ago," Veemon said, "He brought this on himself."
"I hope the others get here soon," Tai said, "Because I want to have a meeting but I'm not going to start it when most of our team isn't here at the moment."
"Then either we have to wait or we can send out messages to the others to come here as soon as possible," Kari said.
"That's all we can do at the moment," Tai said, "Is send out messages to the others and wait for them to show up."
"Why can we do that?" Kari asked, "They would notice and spy on us."
"Daddy," Mary said, "Big brother told me that he need to tell you some thing."
"What is it?" Tai asked.
Mary looks at them blinking twice before she pulls out a slip of paper from her glove. "Big brother want to see if we should see any way to get in his place."
"We'll talk about it at the meeting," Tai said, "I think I know how."
"I'll get the paper and I'll see if we have anything to protect them," Kari said.
"I'll gather up some gatomons," Tai said.
A little later, Sora opens her door to a gatomon breathing heavily. "What can I do for you?" she asked.
The gatomon walks into Sora's room and pulls out a small piece of paper and gives it to Sora, "Tai wanted me to give you this message," the gatomon panted, "He also said he'll explain why he did this at a meeting he wants to have later."
"Why he didn't just use the d-terminal to send me a message I'm not sure," Sora said, "I guess I'll just have to find out what this is about when I get to his place."
"This seems a little ridiculous for Tai to send us a message this way," Mimi said.
"I'm sure Tai has a good reason to do it like this Mimi," Sora said, "Come let's go see what he wants."
Meanwhile at Izzy's place, "I need to speak to Izzy for a moment," a gatomon asked as Gomamon opened the door.
"He's at the training area right now," Gomamon said.
"Oh hey what brings you here," Jenny asked as she grabs Gomamon around the neck with one arm in a choke hold so he can't get away.
"Sorry but I have to go," the gatomon said, "Gomamon already told me that Izzy is at the training area."
"Yeah that's right he is," Jenny said.
A couple hours later Tai looks around to see everyone but Matt is there at the moment, "Well I guess we'll be having this particular meeting with out Matt," he said.
"What do you mean you'll be having it with out me," Matt said as he walks through the gate with an unconscious gatomon under one of his arms, "I'm running a little late because I had reserved the training ground I got twice in a row under mine and TK's names so I could use it longer."
"What happened to the gatomon under your arm," Kari asked.
"As she was leaving she made a mistake and got caught between two other champions that were training attacks and was knocked out cold from it," Matt said, "Though I think she's fine other then a few bruises and burns."
"So what is it you wanted to talk about Tai and why did you send some of the gatomons with messages to us instead of the d-terminals we all have," Izzy asked, "I created the ones for older digi-destined for a reason."
"I used them as an example," Tai said, "I know that there are other groups of digi-destined and tamers that want to stop Lord Holy Angemon as much as we do, so what I am thinking of doing is sending some of the gatomons to the other groups with a message that will have a different time and place for each group to meet us so we can discuss a plan that I have been working on."
"That sounds like an ok idea," Matt said, "Though there is one problem with it, wouldn't it be easier and less time consuming to have all of the other groups meet us all at the same time."
"It would be but if that many people were in one place at the same time the Host would get very suspicious about what is going on," Tai said, "Also to make it a little quicker during the first meeting I was thinking of having Izzy make a recording of most if not all of what I say during it."
'Knightmon is going to want to know about this,' Ice thinks listening to what Tai is saying, 'But should I really tell him, no I have to because I don't know what would happen if he finds out that I didn't tell him about this.'
'I didn't even realize she was out here,' Tai thinks hearing Ice's thoughts, 'Hopefully this won't screw up the plans I have been working on with Takato, Rika, Izzy, Sora and Kari.'
"So what is this plan you have been working on Tai," Rika asked even though she already knows what it is, "With the way you and goggle head are a lot alike I doubt it's fool proof."
"Wait," Matt said, "I don't trust all these gatomons."
"Alright," Tai said. He turns to a gatomon. "Take all gatomons inside." The gatomon nodded and grabs Kari. "Not her."
"I'll select a few gatomons to be used as scouts to find a way into Lord Holy Angemon place," Tai said, "I want to know how to get in there. We also need to know what the inside is like."
"But what good will that do?" Matt asked.
"If we attack his place," Tai said, "It would be helpful to know the layout of the inside. That's just the first part the next is that we need to study the habits of his servants. We need to see who they are loyal to and if we can get some of them to help us. With him watching the fights it would be better to do this during the fights."
"Crystal Agumon and me have gotten in the computer," Izzy said, "We were able to get information about all the humans and the working digimons."
"I think I have a list of those that may be willing to help us," Tai said.
"That sounds good and all," Matt said, "But where do the other groups you want to contact come in then?"
"I will explain that," Izzy said, "The thing is we have a back up plan if the first one doesn't work or something comes up to prevent us from using the first one. What we have for the back up plan is that at one of the fights when Lord Holy Angemon least expects it is that a few people will give the same signal and everyone will digivolve their digimon to the highest level they can go and we will all attack Lord Holy Angemon at once."
"Before anyone says anything that is mainly Takato's idea," Rika said, "Though if we have the object of surprise there is a chance it might actually work."
"Why did you call me by my actual name and not the other one," Takato asked.
"Well it would confuse the others here since you're not the only one with goggles if I were to call you goggle head," Rika stated, "Or to be more exact Tai used to have goggles and Davis still has his even though in his current form he's only able to wear them around his neck since his head and brains has shrunk to the point they're to big now."
"Hey what is that supposed to mean?!" Davis yelled.
"If Yolei was here she would have said the same thing or something even worse," Kari said, "No actually now that I think about she would have agreed with Rika and then said something even worse."
"I would have to agree Yolei would say something like that," TK said.
"Are you sure we can trust those digimon on that list you have Tai," Matt said, "For all we know the moment we talk to them they could run off and tell Lord Holy Angemon what we are planning on doing."
"Actually Matt I helped make the list that Tai has," Crystal Agumon said, "I know those digimon and a lot of them do not like what Lord Holy Angemon is doing any more then we do."
"Then why are they working for him," Ken asked, "It doesn't make any sense for them to work for him if they don't like what he is doing."
Crystal Agumon glances around nervously, "I think some of them are actually part of the rebels that want to take him down," he said, "Though I can't be completely sure about that and I'm not going to dare ask them because that could cause a lot of problems if they aren't and run to him."
Meanwhile Ice is in the room and has one of her ears pressed against the glass and hears most of what Crystal Agumon just said, "Hey what are you doing Ice," one of the other gatomons asked startling her and almost causing her to lose her balance and fall.
"I'm uh just laying here um relaxing," Ice said trying to calm her nerves after being scared half to death.
"Well be careful up there since you're on a windowsill and have a hurt leg," the gatomon said, "You don't want to make it worse by falling off."
"I'll be careful," Ice said, 'I almost did fall off because you startled me, I guess I was too focused on the conversation going on outside,' she thinks as she goes back to trying to listen to it and making sure she won't be startled again.
Back outside, 'Hmm both plans can work if done right,' the voice Ken has been hearing said.
'Who was that,' Tai thinks hearing the same voice that Ken just did and looks around trying to figure out where it came from but can't.
Ken sits there for about a minute waiting for the voice to say something else and is relieved that it doesn't, "So what are you going to be telling the other groups exactly and when," he asked.
"I say we just charge him," Kazu said, "With all of us I'm sure he can't withstand us."
"That will not work," Tai said, "I'm sure he has defenses. Remember when I charged him in the arena and what happened. We need to be able to get around them."
"That's true," Sora said, "I guess rushing him won't work but it may work as a distraction."
"We don't know who to trust in other groups," Kari said, "We need to pick them carefully. If they have one who works for Lord Holy Angemon then our plan could backfire."
"I'll continue to try to find the digimons to help us," Tai said.
"I'll handle the gatomons," Kari said.
"I'll look at the groups," Sora said.
"I will try to find what I can in the computer system," Izzy said.
"I will help Izzy with finding the stuff in the computer system," Crystal Agumon said.
"So what should I do," Joe asked.
"For now I think you should worry about training and learning your abilities," Izzy said, "If we use the second plan we'll need your help to attack him."
"We are still working on exactly what I'm going to tell the other groups Ken," Tai said, "Though if there are groups that have people working for Lord Holy Angemon I think that we might give them some completely false information to throw him off our tracks."
"I could probably handle telling the groups that seem suspicious the false information," Takato said, "It would save us time if we did it that way."
"So two of the goggle heads are actually coming up with good ideas," Rika said.
"Why do you say it like that," Kari asked.
"Well Tai in the show usually rushed into things with out planning it out first," Rika said, "And well Takato he just really didn't know what he was doing till him and Guilmon figured out how to bio-merge."
"You never did tell us how you were able to do that," Izzy said.
"Well I really wanted to fight with Guilmon instead of just sitting on the side lines and watching," Takato said, "And I guess us wanting to fight together allowed us to, I'm not really sure of how else to explain it."
Meanwhile watching them on a screen is Lord Holy Angemon and Knightmon. "I can't hear them," Lord Holy Angemon said.
"I can't either," Knightmon said, "I'll contact my spy and get what I can from her. It may take awhile with everyone around her."
"Then why did you let all those gatomons stay there?" Lord Holy Angemon asked.
"We traded digimons remember and I'll choose what I do with them," Knightmon said, "I think I'll give them some time out some where and I can contact her then."
"Do as you please with them because as you said they now are your responsibility," Lord Holy Angemon said.
"There is one other thing I need to do as well," Knightmon said, "I'm going to have to send the humans and their partners in that area with them so I can communicate with the spy with out them knowing and then after I'm done talking with her I'll send her to the same area just a little further from the rest of them."
"Hmm I'll have to think about that," Lord Holy Angemon said, "The humans there are the strongest out of all of the others and I don't think that would be very wise."
"I'm only planning to send them somewhere else for a few hours which after I talk to Ice I'll send her there with them and then bring them back here about half an hour after that," Knightmon said.
Meanwhile at one of the stores, "What is it you want," an Agumon asked.
"I was looking to buy some fur growth shampoo," Terriermon said, "One of my tamer's recently acquired digimon was training and something went a little wrong and Henry asked me to buy this for him and our friend Takato Matsuki gave me permission to use some of the digi-chips in his account for it."
"Alright give me a few minutes to find it," the Agumon said as he goes into the back room to find the fur growth shampoo.
Terriermon grins from ear to ear, "I can't wait to see Henry's reaction after I switch his shampoo with that stuff and he uses it," he said to himself.
"Well here you go Terriermon," the Agumon said, "I hope it works the way your tamer wants it too."
Another agumon walks from the back with a box in his hands. "You know he could use it for a prank."
"It's not our job to ask what they do with it," the storekeeper agumon said, "Stock the shelves."
Meanwhile Suzy stands up. "I'm going home," she said.
"Alright," Henry said as he looks at Izzy's makeshift computer.
"Lopmon are you coming?" Suzy asked.
"No," Lopmon said, "I want to see Renamon's eggs."
"Alright," Suzy said, "See you at home."
"Just be careful Suzy," Henry said.
"I will be fine Henry," Suzy said, "I'm not as young as I was the first time I came to the digital world."
"I know that," Henry said, "I just want you to be careful with how the other gatomons here told us how the other digimon treat them."
"I said I will be fine," Suzy said, "Though I will be careful if you want me too."
"Since Suzy became a gatomon I noticed her confidence and stubbornness has increased a lot," Lopmon said, "The confidence is a good thing but I'm not sure about the stubbornness though."
"Hopefully Suzy isn't as stubborn as some people," Rika said as she glares at Tai and then Davis for a moment.
"Tai isn't that bad any more," Sora said noticing who Rika was glaring at, "But Davis I'm not so sure about."
"Great I'm getting insulted by every body now," Davis said.
"That isn't true blue boy," Kari said grinning mischievously, "Tai hasn't insulted or nor has Izzy, Mimi, Palmon, Biyomon, maybe I should stop before I give you a headache with how tiny your brain is."
"Kari don't you think that's being a little too harsh to Davis," Tai asked.
"Yeah maybe I was being a little too harsh to snaggle tooth," Kari said.
"You ok Davis," Veemon asked.
"Why should it matter," Davis said, "Go ahead and poke fun at me like the others are if you want to."
"Davis I was only joking around," Kari said, "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."
"It's alright," Davis said, "We have bigger problems."
"Izzy is there any information about the other groups?" Sora asked.
"I found some recordings," Izzy said, "He's watching them."
"Did you find anything to do with us," Tai asked.
"I did but most of them seem corrupted for some reason," Izzy said.
"I checked the video files that has all of you in them and as far as I can tell there has not been any altering to them," Crystal Agumon said.
"Are you sure about that Crystal Agumon," Matt asked with Mimi resting on his lap.
"I am not completely sure so I set up Izzy's computer to record our meeting through the same camera that Lord Holy Angemon would see it through if he was watching us," Crystal Agumon said, "When we get done here I am planning on checking it to see."
Tai goes over to Izzy's makeshift computer and looks over his shoulder to see what they are doing and as Tai's back is turned the voice Ken has been hearing said, 'That is a very good idea to see what Lord Holy Angemon is seeing and hearing when watching all of you together,' Tai and Ken both hear and Tai turns around still trying to find where the voice he just heard came from and can't locate it.
"Is something wrong Tai," Kari asked, "You seem paranoid or nervous about something."
"No I'm fine," Tai said turning to Kari, "Least I think I am, I keep hearing some thoughts but I can't seem to locate where they are coming from because they stop before I can or I'm just imagining it."
'Uh oh maybe I should get out of here before they find me,' the voice Ken's been hearing said causing Ken to become a little nervous and by pure chance there is a rustling sound from the bushes across the bridge to his relief.
"I guess I wasn't hearing things," Tai said.
"I'm not feeling that well because the last few nights I haven't gotten much sleep," Ken said, "So I'm going to head back to Matt and TK's place and get some rest."
"Alright see you later Ken," Tai said, "You do seem a little pale compared to how you looked earlier, I hope you feel better soon."
"Yeah I hope so too," Ken said as he gets up and leaves.
A little later as Ken reaches the halfway point to Matt and TK's room, 'That was just pure chance that something made a sound in those bushes,' the voice said and Ken knows it would be grinning if it had a face.
'That wasn't chance at all,' Ken thinks, 'I saw some sort of rodent like creature in the bush getting ready to run out of the corner of my eye right before you said that part about leaving.'
'Hmm so you are as observant as I thought you were,' the voice said, 'It's good to know that you still are even though you don't seem as smart since you stopped using the power from the dark spore in the back of your neck.'
'I don't need that since I'm smart enough with out it,' Ken thinks, 'I was a total fool to let it take me over the way I did and became evil like I was when I was affected by it.'
'I'm starting to get bored of using this particular tone,' the voice said, 'Hmm maybe we both would like this one better, what do you think?'
Ken hearing the way the voice sounds now stumbles and nearly falls on his face, 'You know you are being really cruel by using the way I remember Sam's voice,' he thinks.
'I could use this voice or whichever one you prefer,' the voice said sounding like his father this time, 'Since I'm a part of you I can even use your own voice from when you were a child of five years old,' the voice said as it changes again.
'Will you just shut up,' Ken thinks harshly as he's starting to get really annoyed, 'You are starting to drive me insane with changing the way you sound every sentence or in the middle of one.'
Ken starts to sigh in relief as the voice doesn't respond for a few minutes but it quickly changes to one of frustration, 'I think I will just use this tone for now,' the voice said sounding like one he hadn't heard in a long time.
'Fine whatever I don't care anymore at the moment as long as you leave me alone for awhile,' Ken thinks as he walks into Matt and TK's room, 'Though I do remember that voice from somewhere and it brings back some comforting memories of mine.'
Meanwhile Izzy looks up from the screen, "There is no way to clean it up," he said, "There was some sort of interference."
'That's why they have a spy here,' Tai thinks. "It looks like we have some luck," he said, "Lets hope that he doesn't notice it."
"So what kind of interference are you getting Izzy," Sora asked.
"Every now and then the video goes completely black," Izzy said, "And there is almost no sound and when there is sound it's all garbled really bad to the point it doesn't even sound like any kind of language I know."
"Since there's not much that we can talk about," Kari said, "I'm going to pick the gatomons to be a part of the team for scouting Lord Holy Angemon's place."
"I guess I'll try to get some insiders," Tai said.
"I hope I can find some of the other teams," Sora said.
"I'm going to train the humans turned digimon," Matt said, "You're coming with me TK."
"I rather stay here though," TK said.
"Yeah that means I get to be with Matt," Mimi cheered.
"You will have to actually train Mimi while you and the rest of our friends that have been changed to digimon are with us," Matt said, "Fine stay here if you want to TK."
"Yeah I know," Mimi said, "But at least I get to be with you."
"I'm staying here because I don't need to train at the moment," Rika said.
"Suit yourself with that," Matt said, "If you have a fight and lose it won't be my fault."
"Actually Matt Rika's skills with her attacks and moves I think is almost as good as Renamon is," Takato said.
"Only almost," Rika said.
"Hey I'm not really sure because I haven't seen the two of you spar each other as of yet," Takato said nervously.
"Sure she is," Matt said sarcastically as he turns around and jumps back from surprise as Rika appears in front of him, "Ok maybe I'm wrong."
"I guess I'll be going with Matt," Andrew said, "And it's probably going to take me a lot longer to learn what attacks this body has since I really don't know anything about this kind of digimon, not even the name really."
"Hmm I think I might be able to help you with that," Tai said as he looks at Andrew.
"How are you going to do that when you don't even know what kind of digimon he is either Tai," Rika asked.
"Well after I got my upgraded digi-vice I bought a deck of cards from the store when I bought the egg Mary was in," Tai said, "And I'm sure I have a card that looks like Andrew does at the moment and that particular one I have lists all of the digimon's attacks."
A few minutes later Tai pulls the card he's looking for out of his deck, "I'm a Dorumon," Andrew said, "It says something about X digimon. My attack are Metal Cannon, Shoots metallic projectiles from his mouth, and Dash Metal, Metal freezes the enemy. It lists two other attacks but doesn't give any information on them."
"Well the one attack sounds like it is a more powerful version of Dash Metal since it's called Hyper Dash Metal," Agumon said also looking at the card, "Though Dino Tooth I'm not sure about, but it does sound like it could be an attack to do with biting."
"Wow," Andrew's partner said looking at the card, "We look cute. I wonder if I should try a hat or something."
"Why don't you two play attack tag with the gatomons," Tai said.
"What good will that do?" Rika asked.
"Just watch," Tai said.
"Actually I think I would rather go with Matt and the others," Andrew said.
"Why is that," Tai asked.
"Well I have always thought Matt was one of the coolest characters in digimon adventures and adventures 02," Andrew said, "That's the name of the shows in the real world, I never thought I would be able to actually meet any of you especially Matt. I also think Metal Garurumon is a cool digimon as well."
"Great another obsessed fan," Matt muttered under his breath.
"Also Dorimon don't you mean cool instead of cute," Takato asked.
"No," Dorimon said, "I'm looking at a picture so I don't know if I'm cool or not from it so I'm just cute in the picture."
"You're not making much sense," Andrew said.
"Take Ryo with you," Rika said, "He...She needs to get more training."
"Hey," Ryo yelled as Rika hands her over to Matt, "I'm just as skilled as you are."
"But I'm higher on Takato's partners listing so I have say over you," Rika said.
"Alright," Matt said.
"Try to keep her away from males," Takato said, "Every male that sees her wants to hit on her."
"Then why isn't it affecting Gabumon and the other male digimon here then," Matt asked.
"Probably because they know that she's Ryo or for some reason whatever causes the males to be attracted to her it's not affecting them," Takato said, "I really have no clue."
"I'll go with them to make sure nothing happens to Ryo," Monodramon said, "Ryo is after all my tamer no matter what."
"So that is why you were being so mean to the rest of us," Renamon asked as she comes out of Takato's room, "It looks like all I really needed was some food and actual rest."
"Good to see you back to your normal self Renamon," Rika said.
"I'm sorry for the way I have been acting," Ryo said, "I don't know what came over me, it felt like something was forcing me to do those things."
"Why should we believe that," Rika asked, "You could try to attack us at any moment for all we know."
"I won't attack any of you," Ryo said, "All of you are my friends."
'Hehehe,' Tai heard and thinks, 'What was that, whoever or whatever it was sounds familiar and I'm not sure why.'
"I'll get the training grounds," Matt said, "I'll drop them off after."
"Oh this will probably help," Takato said as he swipes a digivolution card through Andrew's d-arc and Dorimon digivolves to Dorumon.
Kari walks into her place. "Reporting for duty Mam," Clawz said.
"Sorry," Kari said, "You're hurt. Everyone one that is not hurt please line up," she watches as the felines run up to her. "As you overheard, we are looking for a small group of gatomons to study Lord Holy Angemon palace and to use as messengers. I know it a bit dangerous for you to leave this area so those that do not want to please sit down now." Kari wait and found not a single gatomon sat down. "I'm not going to force you."
"Mam," one gatomon said, "I don't know about the others but I don't want to go back to the way it was."
"Alright," Kari said, "I guess we can rotate members."
Meanwhile with Matt and the others with him, 'I think I heard someone laughing before we left the area that Takato stays but no one else noticed it,' Ryo thinks, 'Maybe I was just hearing things earlier?'
"Hey Ryo is something wrong," Monodramon asked, "You seem to be deep in thought about something?"
"No I'm fine," Ryo said, "I'm just trying to figure out what came over me and why I had been acting the way I was for awhile there. Also I want to apologize for threatening you all those times, I guess I just needed a good knock up side the head to knock the senses back into me."
"Ryo I know you been changed into a girl and all," Matt said, "But is the pink ribbon on one of your horns really necessary?"
Ryo stares at Matt for a moment, "You tell me," she said, "If I weren't wearing it and me and Monodramon weren't talking would you be able to tell us apart at all?"
"Ryo does have a point," Gabumon said, "Other then the ribbon the both of them look exactly the same in every way."
"Also I already tried to get rid of it when it first appeared but no matter what I do to it, it just reappears in the same spot," Ryo said, "So I finally gave up on trying to get rid of it."
"Oh Matt I was wondering if you and the others ever figured out what that darkness that formed that cave was," Andrew asked.
"No I don't think we ever did exactly," Matt said, "What part of it was is the darkness that was in our hearts back then, why do you have an idea of what it could have been."
"Well I thought that is what it was at first myself but it didn't make much sense to me when it affected Sora after you broke free from it," Andrew said, "So I think it might have been part of Myotismon that wanted to destroy one of you as a last attempt since he was already defeated by you and Tai with the help of the others as well thanks to the digi-vices they have."
Meanwhile, Kari walk before a group of gatomons. "Alright you the first group," she said, "I want you to scout for any way into Holy Angemon's place. Do not use the streets and hid as you travel. If any one his working finds you I want you to run saying you need to stretch your legs. Don't risk yourself and good luck." The gatomons run off. They stop at the gate to wave at Kari and the others.
Tai smile. "I'll try to get some of the workers alone so I can talk to them," he said before he walk off with Agumon and Mary.
"Good luck," Kari called to them. "Well Gatomon there is not much for us to do now."
"I say we have a cat nap," Gatomon said.
"Sounds good," Kari said.
Elsewhere, Sora peeks out from a corner at a group of people talking. "If only we could hear them," Sora said, "Any ideas?"
"Not that I can think of," Biyomon said and then unclips something from one of her wing feathers and hands it to Sora, "Wait Crystal Agumon gave me this and said it might come in handy."
"What is it," Sora asked.
"I'm not sure," Biyomon said.
Sora examines the small device that Biyomon gave her and puts it to her ear as she realizes it some kind of ear piece, "I hope Crystal Agumon is right about this thing coming in handy," Sora said as she pushes the button on it for a second.
"So is it working whatever it is," Biyomon asked.
"Yeah I think so," Sora said as it starts picking up the conversation the group she's looking at is having and after a few minutes of listening turns away from them, "Come Biyomon lets go see if we can find any others."
"So they won't be any help to us," Biyomon asked as she follows Sora.
"Let me put it this way," Sora said as a disgusted look forms on her face, "The only one who would be interested in the stuff they were talking about is Gabumon."
"Are they gone," Sora heard one of the people from before ask on the earpiece she's wearing and she stops.
"It looks like they," one of the others said.
"Good now we can talk about what we were originally with out some one watching us," the first voice said.
"Is something wrong Sora," Biyomon asked.
"Shh quiet for now Biyomon," Sora said.
"So what is the plan," a third voice asked.
"We need to figure out the Host's weaknesses so we can use them against him," the second voice said.
"And how are we going to do that," the third voice asked.
"Simple we grab some of the digimon that works for the Host and interrogate them," the first voice said, "We'll do anything necessary to get the information out of them if it comes to that."
"Actually Biyomon I think I was wrong and those people might be able to help us," Sora said.
"Why do you say that Sora," Biyomon asked.
"Well I think some how they noticed us and started talking about other things until we were out of sight again," Sora said, "They want to try to find Lord Holy Angemon's weaknesses and use them against him."
Meanwhile with Matt, "Alright Adam I want you to train with Joe since the two of you really don't know your abilities yet," he said.
"My name is Andrew not Adam," Andrew said, "And actually I would rather train with Gabumon even though I have only been a digimon for a little bit now."
"Are you sure about that Andrew," Matt said, "It won't be my fault if you get yourself seriously hurt."
"I'll be fine," Andrew said, "Besides it looks like Joe and Gomamon are already going at it." Gomamon helping Joe to stay up in the water.
"Joe does need to learn to swim a lot better," Gabumon said.
"I know," Dorumon said, "Andrew can watch me and Gabumon fight so he can see my moves before he use them."
"How about we fight," Palmon said, "Mimi should also see my moves and then they can try to fight each other."
"Alright," Matt said, "This is a simple warm up so try not to hurt the other. Also try to show how you can use your attack."
"Are you ready Dorumon," Gabumon asked.
"Of course I am," Dorumon said.
"Alright lets do it then," Gabumon said, "Blue Blaster!"
Dorumon jumps back and pulls his head back before yelling, "Metal Cannon!" as he releases a few metal projectiles from his mouth that looks like mini cannon balls.
"Not bad Dorumon," Gabumon said as two of the balls hits his attack and neutralizes it but is then thrown back as a third one hits the ground right in front of his feet.
"Next time pay a little better attention to how many I fire before you say or do anything else," Dorumon said.
"You should take your own advice," Gabumon said as he runs up to Dorumon, "Blue Cyclone!" he yelled as he starts spinning around while shooting out short ranged blue flames as he slams into Dorumon.
"Gabumon I said this is only a training exercise," Matt said as he see Dorumon laying on the ground and slightly smoking.
"I'm fine," Dorumon said as he gets up, "That attack Gabumon just used burnt some of my fur off is all." As Dorumon turns to face them you can see a few places on his arms is completely missing fur.
"Oh man that stinks," Matt said as he smells burning fur and covers his nose.
"Your telling us," Andrew said, "It probably doesn't smell as bad to you since your sense of smell isn't as good as any of ours at the moment."
"Andrew does have a point," Gabumon said, "I definitely won't be using that attack again while training against someone with fur."
"That would be a good idea," Matt said.
"Well least not in that exact way again," Gabumon said.
Meanwhile Suzy walks into Henry's place. "It took a while but I got here," she said, "And I didn't use the streets much." she beat some dust off her fur. "I guess I need a bath."
In the bathroom, she looks at the bottles. "I think I will have a bubble bath." She grabs the first bottle and pour it into the running water. "It may not be the most bubbly but it works for what I need."
She did not bother to remove her gloves or tail ring as she slips into the water. "This is nice," Suzy said as she closed her eyes.
"Come on there must be a ride we can go on," Terriermon yelled from Henry's back. "It's either you're not shape right or Jeri is too afraid."
"You leave her alone," Julie said.
"We are at the theme park but we haven't gone on a single ride," Terriermon said.
"Terriermon will you just stop your complaining," Henry said, "It's getting really annoying."
"Fine," Terriermon huffed, "All I want to do is have some fun."
"We will," Henry said, "Just stop complaining or you won't have any at all."
"What do you mean by that," Terriermon said.
"All I'm saying is that if you keep complaining when we finally do go on one of the rides you'll have already made yourself so upset that you won't be able to enjoy it," Henry said.
"Also your whining is starting to really annoy all of us and not just Henry," Julie said.
"I can solve this," Lopmon said. She hops on Henry's back and grabs Terreirmon. She drags him down.
"Are you two dating?" Julie asked.
"Yes," Terriermon said.
"No," Lopmon said.
"Not this," Julie said.
"Lets go in the fun house," Jeri said. They walk into the line.
"I'm confused," Henry said, "So what have you two been doing?"
"We live together and go out on dates," Terreirmon said. "Don't worry we aren't planning to have a child."
"We live together," Lopmon said, "and we go places as friends."
"Do you go with anyone else on the date as friends?" Henry asked.
"No," Lopmon said.
"Great," Henry said, "My sister's and my partner are in love."
"What's so bad about that," Terriermon asked.
"We're not in love," Lopmon said.
"If that's so then I guess you wouldn't mind if I found some other female to go out with every now and then," Terriermon said.
"If you do that I'll claw your eyes out so you won't be able to look at another female ever again," Lopmon said in a nasty tone.
"They're in love," Jeri said, "Though Lopmon seems to not want to admit it."
"And Lopmon has the nerves to complain that Suzy is being stubborn lately," Henry said, "When she is stubborn herself."
"I'm not stubborn," Lopmon said, "And Terriermon and I are just friends."
"No we are more then just friends," Terriermon said, "And you know that Lopmon."
"Great there they go again," Julie said.
"What do you mean by again," Henry asked.
"Well when we went to that one island with Tai, Kari, Sora and the other digimon they got into a similar argument about the same thing," Julie said, "Hey do the two of you ever stop arguing about this when it comes up?"
"So you have known about this for awhile now," Jeri asked.
"Yeah but it didn't seem very important to tell anyone else," Julie said.
"Let's just go," Lopmon said dragging Terriermon along with her.
"Thought you said you were just friends Lopmon," Julie yelled after them.
"We are just friends," Lopmon yelled back, "I'm just hungry and want to get something to eat and figured Terriermon would want to as well."
Meanwhile with Lord Holy Angemon and Knightmon, "Hmm it looks like some of the gatomons are leaving the area," Knightmon said, "That will make it easier to get in contact with Ice, but I will still have to send the ones in that area somewhere else for the moment."
"Do what you must to find out what they are planning to do," Lord Holy Angemon said, "For all I care you can destroy all the digi-destined and tamers in that area still, but then again they might come in useful after they are turned to digimon."
"Fine whatever you say," Knightmon said, 'Stupid arrogant fool,' he thinks.
