Day 8:
Afternoon of the 16th of April 2007, Monday
Disciple Mansion, Nexus Crystal

"I feel bad of leaving Shetamon." Emeraldmon muttered, entering the mansion.

"Yeah Comet, so do I, in leaving Heba." Travis agreed, closing the door behind him.

"Wow! I was here last night, but I didn't have a good look around. This place is really nice." Ememon remarked, glancing around the mansion.

"Maybe after you're done with eating and freshening up we'll go to that restaurant Cunomon spoke of?" Emeraldmon inquired, turning to Travis.

"Yeah, but how do we know where the restaurant is? Do you know of such a restaurant Cunomon spoke of, Ememon?" Travis asked, turning to Ememon.

"I have an idea, but it would be a better idea if you used your digivice to locate your comrades." Ememon reminded.

Travis' eyes widened, "of course! But later on. For now I just want to take a warm bath and relax. You two can look into the refrigerator and have what you want, but don't forget to leave some food for me."

"Sure, but umm... Do you know where the bathroom is?" Emeraldmon asked.

Travis shrugged, "no, but I'll eventually find it."

Emeraldmon knew where the kitchen was and so he took the lead towards it, with Ememon not far behind. Travis watched Emeraldmon and Ememon walk away, and he figured that the bathroom was on the second floor, so he went upstairs. Reaching the second floor, Travis stopped momentarily to gather his thoughts. He started walking ahead, searching for the bathroom.

He remembered from the day before that he wasn't with Magna Adoramon when she showed the others the bathroom, so now he had to find it on his own, which he didn't mind. He was up for a little exploration, and he realized that if he looked into the rooms he didn't know of, he might stumble into Tracy's room. Travis knew some of the first rooms he passed because he was in the tour, before they all reached his own bedroom.

After Travis passed his bedroom, each room he passed, he looked into them one by one. The first room he looked into was the one after his own bedroom, and what Travis saw made him curious. He stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. The room he was in was completely black, with stars scattered around it, and with a few nebulas here and there. In awe and silent, Travis took a few steps into the room while he glanced around it.

The whole room appeared like it was in space, and Travis felt like he was in space, or walking in space. He stopped in the middle of the room and remembered a few moments later that he could wear his shades and goggles again. He could also try and use his digivice to locate the bathroom. Travis thought of what Slash Angemon had told them, and he agreed that D-Satuza did seem better for a name for his digivice than Satuza Digivice.

Both seemed good, but Travis decided to use D-Satuza term more, though he would use Satuza Digivice as a term from time to time. He knelt down on his legs and took off his sentinel pack from his back. He opened up his pack and got out his shades and goggles. He put his goggles on his head, while he put on his green shades over his eyes. Travis closed his pack and put it around his back.

Twice Travis noticed loud noise below the pack when he dropped it on the floor and when he raised it again. Standing up straight, Travis glanced down at where he had put his pack down and knelt his knees once more, to get a closer look at the floor. He remembered that he had his digital camera, and that he could take photos of the room he was in, but he decided that he would do it after he checked the floor.

Because of the loud noise, Travis concluded that under that particular part of the room was empty space or a hidden room of some sorts, because there wouldn't be a loud noise if there's wasn't a hidden room or empty space. Travis felt the floor with his right gloved hand, and from what he felt, it was touching what felt like metal of some sort. Travis felt other parts of the floor of the room, and found that no other parts of the floor felt metallic.

There was no doubt about it; there was some sort of room underneath, and Travis was determined to find the handle to open the hatch door. Surprising him, his green shades lighted his sight on the metallic door and had it stand out from the rest of the floor. Through that Travis quickly found the door's handle, and with his gloved hands pulled the handle backwards. To his surprise, the door easily slid backwards into the floor, rather than being lifted or falling.

With the door open, Travis peeked his head into the opening and concentrated on looking inside. Like it did before, the green shades somehow light up the opening and Travis was able to see the bottom. The bottom was dark green sand, or was that from the shades? What interested Travis even more was the fact that there was no ladder leading down, but rather a smooth slide. Deciding he had seen enough, Travis took out his digital camera and started to tape the room.

He didn't close the hatch and taped what was under the door. With that done, he closed the hatch door, sliding it closed, taping it being closed. He had taped the room, glancing around it. He glanced at the floor; walls, and ceiling, before he stopped taping; put his digital camera away in his shorts' pocket, and left the room, closing the door securely behind him, not forgetting anything.

Travis decided to skip the exploration, because seeing that room made him change his mind, as he didn't want to discover anything else, which might be more startling or scary. He still didn't know where the bathroom was, but he decided to use his D-Satuza to aid him in finding it. He took out his D-Satuza and brought out the map of the mansion.

He requested the bathroom on the second floor, and the miniature 3D map showed him where he was, and how to get to the bathroom. Memorizing the directions in his mind, Travis nodded; turned his D-Satuza off; put it away in his shorts' pocket, and started heading towards the bathroom. The directions weren't too hard, because it was close by. He got to the bathroom easily, and he opened the white marble door.

He closed the door behind him, locking it. He glanced around the bathroom, since it was large, while with one of his hands he took out his digital camera to tape the bathroom. With his free hand he took off his pack from his back and put it aside in a safe place on higher ground on a marble shelf, away from water. He took a few moments to tape the room with his digital camera. Once done, he grabbed his pack; opened it, and put his digital camera in it.

He took off his goggles and put them in his pack. He closed it up and put it back on the marble shelf. Travis stared momentarily at the large circular bathtub, as he realized that it was similar to a Jacuzzi because he had been in one before, but that one was smaller, yet that wasn't any difference. He walked around the bathroom carefully so he won't slip, even if he was wearing shoes.

He noticed the numerous different toilets; the sinks, and the numerous towels on the numerous shelves. Still wearing his shades, he stripped out of his clothes and kept his underwear on, which he discovered was dark green silk. Being barefoot, he was extra careful in walking around, as he went to a nearby shelf to keep his clothes dry and out of the water, on higher ground. He put his clothes on the nearby marble shelf neatly and carefully walked back to the tub.

He noticed some soap bars nearby, which would become handy. Travis still had his D-Satuza with him as he slipped his legs into the cool water of the tub. He noticed that it was nearly full when he had walked in. He put his D-Satuza near him, out of the water and slipped all the way in up to his chest. He spread out his hands in each direction and relaxed just as the tub started to bubble up. Travis giggled, closing his eyes, at the tickly sensation.

Travis sat back and enjoyed the experience...

"Wow! Look at the stuff on this menu!" Ahmad exclaimed, staring at his menu.

"Are you familiar with any of these foods?" Cunomon asked, glancing at Ahmad.

Ahmad chuckled, "familiar? I had a lot of these back home!"

Tracy agreed and was slightly happy to know that she was going to eat something familiar to her.

"Does this restaurant really do these foods?" Tracy asked.

"Yes." One Grademon nodded.

"But how did they get to know about them, much less do them?" Tracy inquired.

"Has the saint told you about our agents in your world?" The silver-helmeted Grademon inquired.

Both Ahmad and Tracy nodded.

"I rest my case then. It was from them that we came to know about such foods." The silver-helmeted Grademon explained.

"Hey! Do you two Grademon want to play some soccer?" A strange plant carrying a soccer ball asked.

Both Grademon glanced at the codelimin and both shook their heads.

"No thanks. Sorry but we can't play now." One Grademon replied.

"Did you just come over to get to know the D-Disciples, or are you truly starting to organize a match?" The silver-helmeted Grademon inquired.

"Both." The strange plant replied.

Ahmad and Tracy were both staring at the strange plant, and before Ahmad took his D-Meric out, Tracy was faster and took out hers. She aimed her D-Meric at the strange plant. A 3D hologram image of the strange plant was imitated out of the D-Meric's monitor, with the strange plant spinning around. The voice that spoke, giving information about the strange plant, was close to Tracy's.

[The strange plant had a head like Deramon's, but gold in color and he didn't have a beak. His eyes were dark brown. He was as tall as Palmon. His arms and legs were like those of Blossomon's. His body was gold in color with light brown fur. His hands were like Floramon's with golden petals. Five human fingers in each hand, one on the left arm and the other on the right arm, coming out. His feet were covered in gold crovinze, but he had three digging claws in each foot, white colored. His sides had golden clawed shaped wings; they're light and strong.

"Soil Earthmon - Juvenile Mythical Jerebi - Soil Earthmon moved his golden clawed shaped wings up to make them in a straight line, so he could fly. He had healing powers and abilities in all forms. Soil Earthmon was an outgoing, cheerful codelimin and always willing to meet new creatures, unless if they're hostile and are enemies. Soil Earthmon is always truthful, and he doesn't back down from defending any helpless creature - His attacks are: Spring Blossom and Clear Frost."

"So you are him. Nice to meet you. I'm Cunomon: the disciple of facts escort." Cunomon greeted.

"I know. I've seen you around here numerous times." Soil Earthmon smiled.

Realizing something, Soil Earthmon's smile quickly vanished.

"Wait. What do you mean by 'so you are him'?" Soil Earthmon inquired.

"I was just wondering the same thing." One Grademon nodded in agreement.

Tracy put her D-Meric away.

"I'm the Disciple of Mulige: Tracy Hamdan. My soul-warrior copedam is Shetamon, and my escort is Foximon. What Cunomon meant is that Slash Angemon had mentioned to us that you're the disciple of gralen's escort." Tracy explained.

Soil Earthmon blinked, "me? Is he here?"

"The disciple of gralen? No. He was captured, but from the last we heard of him, he was heading back here. I'm the Disciple of Facts: Ahmad Hamdan. My soul-warrior copedam is Terrainmon, and you already know Cunomon." Ahmad greeted.

"But weren't there four of you from what I've heard, or are the rumors mistaken?" Soil Earthmon inquired.

"No. They're quite true. There are four of us. Our third member, and our leader: the disciple of myths, went back to our residence to eat there and freshen up. His name is Travis Jaacto, with his soul-warrior copedam Otazoidmon, who's now in his caterpillar form of Emeraldmon, and also with his escort Ememon." Shetamon informed.

Soil Earthmon nodded, "O.K. Grademon would know where to find me if any of you need me. It was a pleasure meeting you all, but I've got to head back to my game."

Both Ahmad and Tracy nodded, with Soil Earthmon walking away, still carrying the soccer ball, leaving the restaurant. Both saw Petamon approach them.

"So have you all decided what to eat?" Petamon asked.

Tracy nodded, "yes. I'll have the rolled sandwich with some 7up."

"Would you want that as beef or chicken?" Petamon inquired.

"Beef." Tracy replied.

"Very well. And the rest of you?" Petamon asked.

"I'll have what she's having." Shetamon replied.

"Same here." Foximon nodded...

"Yay! Pudding!" Emeraldmon cheered, picking up a bowl of milk pudding from the refrigerator.

Ememon watched from his seat in the kitchen, and shook his head.

"Milk pudding is a human dessert Comet." Ememon stated.

Emeraldmon took a seat opposite of Ememon, sitting his bowl of pudding down on the table along with the spoon. He stared at Ememon, and narrowed his eyes.

"So what? The last time I was here it was the first thing I had in this city and it's damn well delicious. I first had it in Delicacy Restaurant. It was the first thing I chose from their dessert menu. You should try it, because you'll like it." Emeraldmon grinned.

Ememon shook his head, "nah, thanks. I need to get Travis' pack and fill it with food."

"What for?" Emeraldmon asked, after having some pudding.

"So we'll have provisions with us when we leave." Ememon remarked.

Emeraldmon blinked, "we're leaving? So soon? Well... Either way, even if you do get his pack, you won't be able to open it."

Ememon blinked, "... You know you're right. I know how to deal with that. No problem."

That said, Ememon stood up and walked out of the kitchen, leaving Emeraldmon behind to finish his dessert of milk pudding.

'He's coming for your pack.' Emeraldmon thought.

Hearing Emeraldmon's warning beforehand, Travis quickly, but carefully, got out of the tub. He grabbed his pack; opened it, and unlocked the door, putting it outside. With it open and outside, Travis quickly shut the bathroom door. He knew the dangers of having his pack open, but he trusted Ememon like he trusted Comet. Careful not to slip, Travis walked back to his tub, and into the water.

Noticing the pack open outside the bathroom, Ememon walked towards it and picked it up. Without saying anything, Ememon went back downstairs towards the kitchen to fill up Travis' pack with food. Ememon realized what trust Travis had put in him, and Ememon appreciated it, as he decided in upholding such trust. Emeraldmon was finishing up his first dish of milk pudding when Ememon walked in, carrying an open pack.

Emeraldmon glanced at Ememon, who walked pass him, straight to the refrigerator. Once done with his first dish of milk pudding, Emeraldmon took it to the sink to be washed, but with a little trouble, though eventually he was able to put the dirty dish in the sink. Ememon put in some drinks in the pack, and some canned foods. Once done with the refrigerator, he left it open for Emeraldmon and walked over to the cupboards.

Using his wings, he flew up to level with the upper cupboards and opened them up, still carrying the pack in one of his paws. Noticing that Ememon was done with the refrigerator, Emeraldmon went to it and took out a canned apple drink from it and closed it behind him. He walked over to the kitchen table and sat down, opening his apple drink, and started drinking from it.

Travis splashed some water onto his face and rubbed his face, with his eyes closed. He grabbed a bar of soap nearby him and started rubbing himself with it, all around his body. Oddly enough, every time soap foam settled on the water's surface, it somehow vanished, and Travis concluded that the water always purified itself somehow. Travis was rubbing his armpits with the bar of soap when he heard one knock on the door, then nothing.

'Ememon returned your pack, with food and drinks in it.' Travis heard Emeraldmon's thought.

Hearing him, and knowing what happened, Travis continued on with his bath. Once done rubbing himself all over with the bar of soap, Travis took a deep breath and held it in, and closed his eyes. He dove his head into the water and he let the water clean his hair, and wash away the soap on his body. When Travis sensed that was done, he was starting to not be able to hold his breathe any longer, and so he raised his head out of the water, gulping in air into his lungs.

Done with his bath, Travis got out of it and went to where the towels were located, and took a large one out, covering himself with it, and closing it around his waist. He carefully walked towards the door and opened it. He quickly grabbed his pack in and noticed that it was somewhat heavier, and closed. Travis closed the bathroom door and locked it. He opened his pack and took out his goggles. He realized all that time that he was still wearing his crescent necklace around his neck.

Travis put on his goggles onto his dry clean hair, and noticed that it was shorter, like it was normally when he had just taken a haircut. He still had his green shades covering his eyes. Travis took out a can of apple juice, and closed his pack, putting it aside back onto its shelf. Travis opened the can of apple juice, and drunk from it. He carefully went over to his D-Satuza and picked it up. Travis quickly finished up the can of apple juice, and threw it in the tub.

He wanted to experiment with something and it was a success, as the tub somehow vaporized the empty can of apple juice. He took out the map, making sure that the map showed Nexus Crystal completely. He noticed his dark green blinking circle, along with two other smaller dark green blinking circles nearby it. Further away were the three blue blinking circles, and three purple blinking circles near each other.

With his good eyesight, Travis carefully studied the distance between the dark green blinking circles, and the other six, and the directions to them. Done with his homework, Travis got up, carrying his D-Satuza and went towards his pile of clothes. He quickly got dressed, putting his D-Satuza in its shorts' pocket. Once finished, he grabbed his pack, unlocked the bathroom door and opened it.

Before he stepped out, he took a quick glance around the bathroom and nodded contently to himself, before stepping outside, closing the bathroom door...

"Umm... May I join you all?" A soft innocent feminine girlish voice asked.

Tracy glanced up from her rolled sandwich, and Ahmad from his pizza. They saw a cat like codelimin with a dark pink coat, carrying a staff, with the crest of light on the top.

"Belovedmon! Welcome! Yes, you may join us." The silver-helmeted Grademon welcomed.

Tracy blinked and put down her rolled sandwich onto her plate. She quickly took out her D-Meric and aimed it at Belovedmon. Belovedmon sat down and stared curiously at Tracy, who was staring at her D-Meric. A 3D hologram image of Belovedmon was imitated out her D-Meric's monitor, with Belovedmon spinning around. The voice that spoke, giving information about Belovedmon, was close to Tracy's.

[Belovedmon was as tall as Renamon and her form was that of Gatomon with white fur and a long tail like Gatomon. She wore gloves like Wizardmon's, and a dark pink coat covered her body, except for her cat face and gloved hands. Like Wizardmon's the fingers of her hands were five. Her feet were like Gatomon's. The staff she carried was made out of white ivory and the top was the crest of light. A dark pink mask was around her eyes, trailing behind her head and reaching her shoulders. She had innocent blue eyes.

"Belovedmon - Juvenile Wizard Jerebi - Belovedmon is Wizardmon's and Gatomon's daughter, with Wizardmon currently being Wiz Angemon. Her name was short for Beloved Monster. Without her staff, she's completely defenseless. Wizardmon and Gatomon had her when Wizardmon was, and still is, Wiz Angemon and when Gatomon was Angewomon. Since Ophanimon was corrupted and became one of the seven demon lords, Wiz Angemon have been taking care of their daughter. She's a sweet caring codelimin, which is sensitive and emotional. She adores the disciple of mulige and wishes to be her soul-warrior copedam - Her attacks are: Light Sphere and Twi Spear."

"This can't be." Tracy whispered.

Ahmad blinked, staring in awe and wonder at Belovedmon. Tracy put her D-Meric away and stared at Belovedmon.

'As if! I could easily take on her, and like Tracy's D-Meric said, she's defenseless without her staff, yet I don't need one and I can protect Tracy just fine.' Shetamon thought.

"So you're the famous Belovedmon! You know, I've heard a lot about you, and this is the first time we've personally met officially. I'm Cunomon: the disciple of facts' escort." Cunomon greeted.

Belovedmon nodded at Cunomon, acknowledging him.

"I'm Tracy Hamdan: the disciple of mulige, and this is my soul-warrior copedam: Shetamon. This sweet fox here is Foximon: my escort." Tracy greeted.

"I've been wanting to meet you since I found out that you D-Disciples were here in the city. It's a pleasure to finally meet you personally Tracy Hamdan." Belovedmon smiled.

Tracy blinked, and was speechless for a moment.

"I'm Ahmad Hamdan: Tracy's younger brother, and the disciple of facts. You already know about Cunomon, and Terrainmon here is my soul-warrior copedam. Before you ask about the other two, our leader: Travis Jaacto: the disciple of myths, is back at out home, and Spencer Sherwood: the disciple of gralen, is heading over here as we speak. Travis' soul-warrior copedam and his escort are with him." Ahmad explained.

"I see." Belovedmon muttered, putting her staff on her lap.

"You can stay with us as long as you like." Foximon welcomed.

"Yeah. If you don't mind, we'd like to hear your story." Shetamon requested, concealing her jealously skillfully.

"Well... I'll keep you all company until my dad comes to get me." Belovedmon informed.

"You've wanted to especially meet me personally?" Tracy asked, after swallowing a bite from her rolled sandwich.

Smiling, Belovedmon nodded.

"Of course, and why not? I mean you're the only female in the D-Disciples, and I've heard much about you, since even when you were in your Earth." Belovedmon confessed.

"What? How?" Tracy asked, taken by surprise.

"You know my dad is close to Saint Slash Angemon, so he gets information from the Digimon agents back in your world, and whatever they found out about you, they told my dad, and my dad told me, when he was spending time with me." Belovedmon explained.

Cunomon listened quietly, as did Foximon; Shetamon; Terrainmon, and Ahmad, with each one of them finishing up their plates. Cunomon had a slice of lasagna with some strawberry juice. Foximon and Shetamon were both having what Tracy was having: a rolled sandwich and a can of 7up for each one of them, while Ahmad and Terrainmon had pizza and some green ice tea.

"About my story... I would prefer not to talk about it yet." Belovedmon informed.

"O.K. What about Patamon?" Ahmad asked.

"You need to inquire Magna Adoramon about that. It's her business and that's all I'd say." Belovedmon replied.

"Magna Adoramon and Patamon?" Tracy inquired.

"I'm not saying anymore." Belovedmon replied, shaking her head.

A sudden quake was felt, followed by several explosions throughout the city, along with codelimin cries. Instantly, Tracy; Shetamon; Foximon; Ahmad; Terrainmon; Cunomon; the Glade Brothers, and Belovedmon all instantly stood up. The restaurant was soon abandoned. Petamon hurried over to them.

"This one is on the house. You all need to head out and fight!" Petamon exclaimed.

"What?" The silver-helmeted Grademon asked.

"There's a major battle outside, because Nexus Crystal is being invaded." Petamon replied.

"Oh you don't need to tell us twice sister!" The normal Grademon remarked.

He hopped over the table, and landed on the other side gracefully, as he rushed out with his brother. The two disciples; their soul-warrior copedam; their escorts, and Belovedmon were soon to follow, while Petamon remained behind...

Outside Nexus Crystal, a codelimin standing 6.2 feet high, stared at the city, as armies of Devidramon passed overhead. The codelimin had his arms folded on his chest. His fingers and toes were oddly made out of ice spikes.

"This army is going to be defeated. Even if taken off-guard the disciples would always find a way to turn any battle to their favor." The codelimin spoke, his voice hollow and cold.

His voice indicated that he was male. Unfortunately for some Devidramon, who were passing overhead, heard him and stopped, before quickly soaring towards the large codelimin. They were three in all and stopped in midair, staring down at the large codelimin with menacing eyes.

"You dare underestimate us?" The first Devidramon asked.

"Master Surturmon would love to have your eyes just for that insult!" The second Devidramon exclaimed.

The large codelimin grinned, "bring it on... if you can."

"You asked for it snowman! Crimson Claw!" The third Devidramon yelled.

The large codelimin didn't move an inch, and let the attack reach him and touch him. That was exactly was what the large codelimin wanted, as the instant Devidramon touched the large ice codelimin, his whole arm instantly turned into light blue ice, shocking it. Due to the heavy weight from his iced arm, the Devidramon lost his balance in midair and fell downwards. The large ice codelimin quickly took the ice arm and pulled it towards him.

Once in range, the large ice codelimin touched the Devidramon with one of his left spiked fingers on its chest, instantly freezing the Devidramon's chest. Savagely, but skillfully, the large ice codelimin pulled the ice arm of the Devidramon towards him even more, severing it off of its digital body. It fell to the desert ground with a smash, and shattered, quickly turning into dead data.

The large ice codelimin punched the Devidramon in its ice chest, breaking through with ease. Devidramon gasped, as his chest exploded into dead data, spreading out through the rest of his body, deleting it completely. Without any hesitance, the large ice codelimin absorbed the dead data.

"Before we delete you, we'd like to know who dared defy our master." The first Devidramon requested.

"That's a request I'll refuse, because it's none of your business for one thing, and for another, you won't live through this to tell. Thirdly, you don't deserve to know who I am." The large ice codelimin remarked.

"Have it your way snowman. Red Eyes!" The first Devidramon yelled.

"Dark Gale!" The second Devidramon yelled.

The large ice codelimin laughed as the attacks were launched at him. He continued to laugh as the attacks touched him, and to the Devidramon's dismay, turned into ice and fell to the desert ground, shattering into data. The mysterious codelimin stopped laughing, turning serious, narrowing his blue eyes.

"My turn." He muttered menacingly.

With a mighty leap, the ice codelimin jumped at the two hovering Devidramon and smashed his clenched fists into their chests. Before the Devidramon could respond, their chest hastily turned into ice, before swiftly exploding into dead data, along with the rest of their bodies. While still in midair, the large codelimin easily absorbed their dead data into his own body. He landed gracefully, with his legs bent.

He glanced back upwards, standing up straight, and noticed the last Devidramon were flying overhead, heading towards Nexus Crystal, where smoke was seen rising into the air, and explosions heard, even that far off.

"We'll meet soon enough disciples. This won't be the only time I help you, and it won't be the last time I help you, but mark my words: I won't always help out." The codelimin remarked, staring at the city.

His entrance completed, the large ice codelimin turned away from the city under attack and walked away slowly, never once glancing back...

Travis had just reached the kitchen, and saw his soul-warrior copedam and escort both eating, when inside his pocket, his D-Satuza continuously started to make thunder bolt sounds. Curious, Travis took out his D-Satuza and glanced at it. Knowing what was up, as both stopped eating upon hearing the D-Satuza and sensing intense numerous evil signals near.

They quickly left their seats and went over to Travis. Without doing anything, the D-Satuza brought up the map of Nexus Crystal, and showed numerous red circles everywhere and all alone. It took a few moments before Travis realized that his D-Satuza was warning him and that it only showed the hostile data nearby and nothing else. Realizing that, and without seeing what they were, the D-Satuza's monitor imitated a 3D hologram image of the hostile data.

The hostile data was spinning around. The voice that spoke, giving information about the hostile data, was close to Travis'.

"Devidramon - Maturity Dragon Grasl - Devidramon are nasty demons that can impersonate statues and attack at a moment's notice. They can hypnotize their opponents into submission. Their names are short for Devil Dragon Monster. They can fly - Their attacks are: Crimson Claw; Red Eyes; Dark Gale."

With one hostile data down, another appeared in its place, and it seemed more demonic and nastier.

"Tyrant Devimon - Mate Demon Grasl - Being the ruthless demon he is, he doesn't think twice of not absorbing his defeated opponent's data - His attacks are: Chaos Coil and Coil Guard."

[Tyrant Devimon was Devidramon's height. He had three pairs of red eyes. Dark blue horns stuck out of his forehead and were carved upwards. Two dark blue bat wings were on his back. A dark blue outline of a bat was on his red chest. Tyrant Devimon's face was like Devimon's, though Tyrant Devimon's face was red and he had fur all over his body. Tyrant Devimon's hand were long like his previous forms, but were red with fur and like his previous form, he only had five fingers, with long dark blue nails. His lips had orange lipstick on it.

Completed, the D-Satuza turned off.

"They're attacking the city." Emeraldmon growled.

"They're large in numbers. Apparently that Tyrant Devimon leads them, and the Devidramon are the ones that are large in number. We need to assist our comrades disciple." Ememon remarked.

"I'm aware of that." Travis nodded.

The D-Satuza turned back on and Tracy's panicked face appeared.

"Travis! Where are you?! We're under attack and we need immediate help! Please!" Tracy pleaded.

"I'm on my way. Travis Jaacto over and out." Travis replied.

The D-Satuza turned off, and Travis hastily put it back in its shorts' pocket. He; Emeraldmon, and Ememon all rushed towards the door of the mansion, with Emeraldmon and Ememon forgetting about their unfinished food. They hurriedly opened the door of the mansion in a hurry, but all three instantly stopped at the entrance, noticing a codelimin at the arched gate. The codelimin grinned at them.

"Mistmon." Emeraldmon hissed.

"You know him?" Travis asked.

"My evil counterpart, so of course I know him." Emeraldmon replied.

Travis blinked, "I didn't know you have an evil counterpart."

"Well he does. We need to get going. Remember?" Ememon asked.

"Of course." Travis nodded, staring at Mistmon.

Travis' shades surprisingly showed Mistmon, with information about him. Travis quietly read the information to himself.

[Mistmon was Renamon's height. He had orange eyes with long; curly red hair. His form and shape was that of a fox, his whole body. He was bipedal. He had a small purple mane. The color of his fur was orange. He had twin fox tails behind him, orange in color, and a small bat like wing, colored orange as well.

"Mistmon - Juvenile Mammal Grasl - Mistmon is Accessmon's or Otazoidmon's evil counterpart. Mistmon was short for Mist Monster. Like Renamon and Denmon, he could vanish and reappear, with the same skill when he's in his higher forms. Mistmon extremely hated Accessmon or Otazoidmon. Mistmon addressed Otazoidmon as Accessmon. Mistmon is Otazoidmon's eternal rival and his allegiance is to no one - His attacks are: Mist Lightning and Mist Sphere."

"So we meet at last Accessmon... for the last time! Prepare for deletion!" Mistmon hissed.

"I'm Emeraldmon now you idiotic fool!" Emeraldmon growled.

Mistmon narrowed his eyes, "doesn't matter. Either way I'm going to delete you and absorb you!"

"Not if I can help it! Hexagonal Crystal!" Ememon yelled.

"Mist Sphere!" Mistmon yelled.

Particles formed around Ememon's wings while Ememon launched the particles into his right fist. Ememon launched an energized hexagonal shaped crystal from his right fist that was colored green towards Mistmon. Mistmon summoned an orange sphere around himself, which absorbed Ememon's Hexagonal Crystal. Grinning, Mistmon lowered his defense.

"I've been training." Mistmon remarked.

'I would face him, but only when I'm Otazoidmon.' Emeraldmon thought.

'Got that. We'll need to pass him somehow to leave.' Travis thought.

'Not necessarily. Remember, you can destination teleport with your D-Satuza? Let's just hope it'll bring me and Ememon along with you for the ride.' Emeraldmon thought.

'Of course!' Travis thought.

Quickly Travis took out his digital camera; zoomed in on Mistmon and took a photo of him. Quietly, Ememon stepped forward, before he jumped into the air, and flapped his wings, as he flew towards Mistmon.

"Ememon!" Travis exclaimed.

"Mist... AHH!" Mistmon yelled in agony.

Surprised, Ememon stopped his flight, staring oddly at Mistmon, before noticing some demonic arm stretched towards Mistmon. Mistmon swiftly turned around, knowing who it was from.

"Mist Lightning!" Mistmon yelled.

Mistmon flipped over himself and his twin orange tails sparked at their tips with orange lightning. With his tails aimed at the Devidramon, twin orange lightning bolts were released from his tails, one bolt for each tail. Continuously the bolts blurred away and reappeared, heading towards their target, which was one of the Devidramon. Before they reached him, Devidramon flew to his side, avoiding them.

Travis took a photo of Mistmon's attack, and of Devidramon flying in the air. Hastily, Ememon flew back towards Travis and Emeraldmon. Travis took a photo of Ememon flying back towards him and Emeraldmon.

"Crimson Claw!" One Devidramon yelled.

There were four Devidramon in all, and one of them concentrated on Mistmon, while the other three zoomed on at Travis; Emeraldmon, and Ememon.

"Dammit! Mist Sphere!" Mistmon yelled.

The claw collided with Mistmon's defensive orange sphere around him, and shook it violently. Mistmon growled in his throat.

"Red Eyes!" Two Devidramon yelled.

Emeraldmon rushed to his right, the opposite direction of Travis, as Travis was to his left, and Ememon flew to his left, as Travis was to his right. The two Devidramon aimed intentionally on the two copedam purposely as in to isolate Travis, leaving him alone and defenseless. Travis quickly hid his digital camera back in its pocket, staring at the Devidramon zooming in at him.

"Travis! Get out of the way!" Emeraldmon yelled.

He quickly had to duck, as his Devidramon soared low above him to catch him, but failed.

"Run disciple!" Ememon added, quickly flying to his left, avoiding Devidramon's attack.

With Ememon and Emeraldmon kept busy by their Devidramon, Travis was on his own. For a few precious moments, he was frozen in place, staring at the ever nearing Devidramon. Recovering, Travis quickly jumped back into the mansion, shutting the door behind him, and hurriedly rushed upstairs. The Devidramon slammed through door, sending it flying backwards. It roared in frustration, and flew into the air, aiming at the mansion from above.

"Red Eyes!" Devidramon yelled.

Travis knew of the incoming attack, as his D-Satuza warned him, through imitating noises that sounded like small explosions continuously. Knowing what to do, Travis stopped his rush and took out his D-Satuza. He held onto it tightly, closing his eyes, and concentrated on outside. Travis turned transparent green, and the floor swallowed him, just as the attack collided with the mansion, shaking it.

Reappearing outside, Travis rushed towards the arched gate, knowing that he was the weakest link. He didn't see Mistmon and the fourth Devidramon anywhere, but he had much more to be worried about.

"Crimson Claw!" Devidramon yelled.

Travis eyes widened, as his D-Satuza imitated the same sound like before, warning him of the attack heading towards him. Before he could react in any way, the attack collided with his back, forcing him to the ground onto his stomach, skidding towards the open gate. His green shades fell off from his face, and lay a few inches in front of his face.

"Travis!" Both Ememon and Emeraldmon yelled in unison.

Feeling the sever pain on his back, Travis moaned, hearing the Devidramon chuckling or laughing at his achievement. Thankful to Allah that he was still alive, Travis truly started to became afraid of Devidramon. Painfully turning around onto his back, Travis fearfully stared at Devidramon, who was in midair, grinning back at him.

"Prepare for your death disciple! Red Eyes!" Devidramon yelled.

Travis gulped, and stared at the incoming attack...

After contacting Travis, Tracy; Ahmad; Shetamon; Terrainmon; Foximon; Cunomon, and Belovedmon all glanced around at the chaos. They all noticed the Glade Brothers battling Devidramon together. Everywhere they looked, there was some resident or defender of Nexus Crystal battling with numerous and what seemed limitless Devidramon. Belovedmon saw her father, who was battling five Devidramon, and decided to help him.

She walked away from the protection of the disciples, heading towards her father, when a Devidramon noticed her, and quickly intercepted her path. Belovedmon gasped, stopping and staring at the demonic dragon in front of her. Her eyes narrowed in determination, Belovedmon prepared to attack.

"Twi Spear!" Belovedmon yelled.

She slashed her staff sideways horizontally, releasing pink spear-formed beams towards Devidramon. Devidramon laughed at the incoming weak attack, but stopped laughing and winced once the attack collided into him.

"Crimson Claw!" Devidramon yelled.

"Ahh! Light Sphere!" Belovedmon yelled.

Belovedmon used her staff, and the crest of light on the top of her staff glowed dark pink, while the outer triangles face forward towards Devidramon. They released dark pink beams, quickly joining a little ahead in the air, forming a small pink light sphere, which was sent towards Devidramon's hand. Belovedmon closed her eyes and looked away after she was done attacking.

"Shouldn't we help out?" Foximon questioned.

"It's up to them." Cunomon replied, pointing at the two disciples.

"That's what disciples should start doing in my opinion." Terrainmon voiced.

Tracy and Ahmad glanced at each other.

"Wait..." Shetamon remarked, noticing Belovedmon not with them. "Where's Belovedmon?"

The disciples; their soul-warrior copedam, and their escorts looked around, until Terrainmon noticed her fighting a Devidramon and having a hard time.

"There she is, and she needs our help!" Terrainmon exclaimed, pointing with one of his frontal paws.

They all looked at where Terrainmon pointed and noticed a small pink light sphere explode on one of Devidramon's hands, only making it angrier. Shetamon grinned.

"Maybe a little fire would calm that demon. Rose Flames!" Shetamon yelled.

"I guess we're going to help." Ahmad muttered, shrugging.

Shetamon's gloved hands glowed purple as her eyes became completely blue. She slashed her arms forwards, opened as pink flames burst through the ground heading towards Devidramon. Noticing the rapidly advancing pink flames, Devidramon quickly withdrew his arm, just before reaching Belovedmon, and quickly flew into the air, avoiding the attack.

"Not an option fool. Mammal Lightning!" Terrainmon yelled.

"I'm so in! Hurricane Blaster!" Foximon yelled.

Terrainmon pointed his plated tail at the flying Devidramon and fired orange laser beams at it. Noticing the rapid ranged attacks approaching him, Devidramon folded his wings in front of himself, and Terrainmon's Mammal Lightning pounced off of the wing, while Foximon's Hurricane Blaster exploded off of Devidramon's wing, forcing him back to the ground, onto its back.

"Time to show what I got. You're going down Devi-demon!" Cunomon yelled, rushing towards the fallen Devidramon.

Devidramon was trying to get back onto his feet, and noticed Cunomon rushing at him. Once in range, Cunomon prepared himself for his attack.

"Knuckle Spikes!" Cunomon yelled, landing on Devidramon's stomach.

Being severely weakened, when Cunomon's attack connected with Devidramon's skin, Devidramon roared out in agony, just before he burst completely into data. With nothing to support him, Cunomon safely fell to the ground. The soul-warrior copedam, and the codelimin escorts let the data vanish.

"Down by a pack of juveniles! Now that's teamwork!" Cunomon smiled triumphantly.

Shetamon went over to Belovedmon's side, with Belovedmon having her eyes open and being in awe, staring at where Devidramon once fell and was deleted. Cunomon went back to Ahmad's side, while the two disciples; Foximon, and Terrainmon joined Belovedmon.

"Thanks for the help, but my dad..." Belovedmon paused, staring at Wiz Angemon.

Wiz Angemon was capable of handling himself, but every time he deleted one Devidramon, three others took its place.

"There's only so much a juvenile could do." Shetamon whispered.

"Juvenile you say? Against an evil force as that, I think we need to take it up a step." Cunomon remarked.

"I say bring it on! But how can we..." Ahmad started.

"I bet my disciple won't have a problem with that." Cunomon muttered, interrupting Ahmad.

Ahmad blinked, but then narrowed his eyes.

"Fine then! I say... evolve?" Ahmad inquired, shrugging.

Surprisingly, Ahmad's D-Meric responded, but only with Cunomon. Noticing his D-Meric glowing inside his pocket, Ahmad took it out, and saw Cunomon glowing purple.

"CUNOMON SHINKA!"
"... SARTOMON!"

The sudden large appearance of Sartomon surprised the two disciples. Though apparently the Devidramon ignored it, even when his evolution signal was imitated. Sartomon snorted, and stared at Wiz Angemon momentarily. Nodding his head, he took to the sky and flew towards Wiz Angemon. Ahmad and Terrainmon rushed after him on the ground, with Belovedmon following them.

"What about me?" Foximon asked, feeling left out.

"Some other time." Tracy replied, remaining in her place with Shetamon and Foximon.

She took out her D-Meric and aimed it at Sartomon. The D-Meric's monitor imitated a 3D hologram image of Sartomon, with Sartomon was spinning around. The voice that spoke, giving information about the hostile data, was close to Tracy's.

"Sartomon - Maturity Dragon Jerebi - Sartomon is Cunomon's maturity form. Once returning back to Cunomon, Cunomon was glad of discovering that he would eventually have wings. Since he's Ahmad's escort, Ahmad has the capability of evolving Cunomon into Sartomon, or even higher when necessary. Sartomon was short for Sarto Monster, with Sarto being a Twilasin word meaning defiance - His attacks are: Star Shooter and Star Hail."

"Wow! Neat." Shetamon muttered, listening in.

"I'd say." Tracy agreed, nodding.

"Let's get a closer look in the battle." Foximon suggested.

"And I say you have to deal with me first." A hollow mischief voice replied.

"What?" Shetamon inquired, glancing upwards.

"Red Eyes!" Devidramon yelled in flight.

"Oh crap." Tracy muttered, jumping backwards.

Foximon and Shetamon quickly stood in front of their disciple.

"Flaming Tornado!" Shetamon yelled.

"Hurricane Blaster!" Foximon yelled.

Shetamon spun around herself fast at high speeds, as she spun into the air and out of sight. Oddly enough, half of the attack aimed at her was turned to ashes. She came down as a pink tornado, heading on a dead on collision with Devidramon. Foximon's Hurricane Blaster overwhelmed her half of Devidramon's attack, and both her attack, and half of its attack, cancelled each other out. Devidramon glanced upwards and cursed.

"Crimson Claw!" Devidramon yelled, aiming it at the pink tornado.

To his utter shock, the pink tornado ripped through Crimson Claw, and through Devidramon's arm, bursting it into data, before the pink tornado grew large, due to it absorbing Devidramon's attack and arm, and overwhelmed Devidramon completely in a pink tornado. Devidramon cried out, as the tornado ripped his data. Once the tornado vanished, Shetamon reappeared, landing gracefully on her knees. She stood up and inhaled a deep breath, exhaling it calmly.

"You two are strong enough as you are being juvenile." Tracy noted.

"Maybe for Shetamon, but I don't know about myself." Foximon remarked...

"Travis!" Emeraldmon yelled in fear.

"Disciple!" Ememon yelled.

Rage and fear filled Emeraldmon, as he avoided Devidramon, and rushed towards Travis, to try and help, though his little feet could take him so far. Ememon did the same, as he slid under Devidramon, and quickly jumped into the air, flying towards the attack. Accepting his fate, Travis' eyes relaxed, and he gently smiled. Unbelievably, Emeraldmon somehow got a boost in speed and rushed much faster than even Otazoidmon towards the attack.

"Hexagonal Crystal!" Ememon yelled, while in flight.

Devidramon's attack easily smashed through Ememon's attack, continuing on towards Travis. Angered, and desperate, Emeraldmon growled.

"Emerald Bubbles!" Emeraldmon yelled.

Emeraldmon pounced towards Devidramon and blew green emerald bubbles at Devidramon at close range. Devidramon laughed at Emeraldmon's futile attempt, while Emeraldmon fell down to the ground safely.

"Let's end this boys! Red Eyes!" Ememon's Devidramon yelled.

"I'm with you. Red Eyes!" Emeraldmon's Devidramon yelled.

The two attacks raced towards their targets, just as the first Red Eyes collided with Travis, resulting in an explosion. Emeraldmon's eyes widened, and he swiftly turned around towards Travis, only to see a cloud of smoke rise up. Ememon gasped, and stopped in midair, which was futile mistake, as his opponent's attack caught up with him, and blasted him away in a cloud of smoke.

"Ememon!" Emeraldmon yelled, tears appearing in his eyes.

Emeraldmon turned towards his prey, and narrowed his eyes.

"Never! I'll avenge my dad's death! No matter what it costs! I'll also avenge Ememon, and take you three all down Devidramon!" Emeraldmon hissed, rage and grief fueling his heart and spirit.

Feeling pain within himself, like a hot iron rod was sizzling inside of him, Emeraldmon winced and knelt down, as Red Eyes ever got closer. He shut his eyes, holding his stomach, as he burst into red transparency.

"EMERALDMON SHINKA..."
"... CHAOS OTAZOIDMON!"

Turning opaque, Otazoidmon reappeared, but he was wearing a different wardrobe.

[Chaos Otazoidmon wore a dark red coat over him, as a purple shirt and purple pants along with red shoes was below it. He wore red mountain gloves. A red belt was around his waist, as the crest of myths was in dark red on his shirt to the upper right, close to the right shoulder. On both of his shoulders was the chaos sign or virus sign outlined in dark red.

The three Devidramon laughed at the appearance of Chaos Otazoidmon.

"What are you going to do kid? Fry us?" Travis' Devidramon asked, roaring with laughter.

"The name's Chaos Otazoidmon. I'm Juvenile Humanoid Grasl. Even though I'm like Otazoidmon in appearance, my wardrobe tells otherwise. Being virus, I'm stronger than Otazoidmon, yet am unable to do his third technique. I've come to being due to my rage and grief in my previous caterpillar form. I'm all trouble, and I'd reach my goal any way possible, but not to be stupid enough to sacrifice my life. I'll avenge my dad and brother, and live through it. My attacks are: Emerald Lightning and Emerald Bolt." Chaos Otazoidmon introduced himself, glaring at Travis' Devidramon.

Once Chaos Otazoidmon was done introducing himself, Red Eyes collided into him, resulting into an explosion. But red miniature bolts vaporized the cloud of smoke, with Chaos Otazoidmon revealing himself to be unharmed, and still standing, not being moved in any way. The three Devidramon's eyes widened in shock.

"Like I said in my lil intro; I'm stronger than Otazoidmon, and I can withstand such puny attacks!" Chaos Otazoidmon remarked, hissing.

"Try this you little varmint! Crimson Claw!" Travis' Devidramon yelled.

"Oh waiter... One demon dragon deep fried please... Emerald Bolt!" Chaos Otazoidmon roared.

Chaos Otazoidmon stayed on the ground, as he put his gloved hands to his left side as his left gloved hand was on top with his right hand on the bottom. In the space between the two hands, purple energy gathered. From the purple energy gathered, Chaos Otazoidmon released it all as a huge purple bolt from the space between his hands. Travis' Devidramon yelled out in agony as Chaos Otazoidmon's attack truly fried Devidramon's arm, turning it into ashes.

The bolt continued on and slammed into Travis' Devidramon's chest, going right through. Travis' Devidramon wasn't even given the chance to gasp or respond, as he exploded into data. Chaos Otazoidmon absorbed the dead data. The two remaining Devidramon stared in shock at Chaos Otazoidmon, watching him first delete and then absorb their fellow comrade. The two Devidramon were further away from Chaos Otazoidmon, than the first Devidramon was.

"We better withdraw while we can." Ememon's Devidramon whispered.

"I'm with you. I'm not facing that thing." Emeraldmon's Devidramon whispered, agreeing.

"For dessert I'll have two bat wings, deep fried as well..." Chaos Otazoidmon glanced at where the two remaining Devidramon were, and saw that they vanished.

Chaos Otazoidmon snorted, glancing upwards, noticing that the two remaining Devidramon were trying to escape quietly. He grinned in a mischief way.

"One of you I'll have to thank for helping me become what I am now, as for the other, I still have my vengeance to complete. My brother's death won't go on un-avenged." Chaos Otazoidmon roared, taking flight towards the two withdrawing Devidramon.

The two withdrawing Devidramon noticed Chaos Otazoidmon flying towards them, and gaining on them.

"Sheeks! I forgot he could fly!" Emeraldmon's Devidramon exclaimed.

"What's the saying? Ah, yes. Two birds with a stone. Like I was saying: for dessert I'll have two bat wings, deep fried as well. Emerald Lightning!" Chaos Otazoidmon roared in fight.

Since he already was in the air, flowing electricity formed in his coat. He released red miniature bolts after each other, zapping the two Devidramon simultaneously. With each bolt striking the two Devidramon, more and more of their data was being deleted, until only their heads remained, and then Chaos Otazoidmon stopped his brutal assault. Chaos Otazoidmon hovered in midair, watching as the two remaining Devidramon's heads burst into data.

In a heartbeat, Chaos Otazoidmon absorbed all of the data of the two deleted Devidramon. He hovered carefully and gently towards the ground, and touched the ground gently. He stood up on his legs proud, but then he turned into green transparency and shrunk, returning back into Emeraldmon. Emeraldmon's eyes were wide in shock, and he was panting heavily. Out of no where, his ears perked up upon hearing clapping.

Emeraldmon swiftly turned towards the noise and was fearful, thinking that it was another opponent, like the fourth Devidramon. But his mouth opened slightly, completely speechless, noticing Travis alive and well, standing a few feet away from Emeraldmon, wearing his green shades. Noticing that Emeraldmon noticed him, Travis stopped clapping and smiled. Emeraldmon's lips turned into a smile, and he rushed towards his disciple, overjoyed to see him alive.

Travis knelt down on his knees and caught Emeraldmon in his arms, quickly standing up and hugging him, while Emeraldmon tried his best to return the hug.

"Hey! Don't forget about me!" A voice remarked, sounding like Ememon, but younger.

Both Travis and Emeraldmon glanced down to Travis' right side and noticed a floating codelimin. What was oddly familiar about it was its small owl wings, similar to Ememon's.

[The floating codelimin was Bukamon's size. He was furry with black hair. His skin was dark green. The divine crest of myths was on his forehead in dark green. He had whiskers like a cat. His armor was smooth and around his body, but emerald in color. Owl wings were on his back, green in color, small for his size.

Like with Mistmon, Travis' green shades picked up the details on the floating codelimin, and Travis read the details aloud.

"Corismon - Caterpillar Micro Jerebi - Corismon is Ememon's caterpillar form. He could hop and float around. Corismon was short for Coris Monster, with Coris a Twilasin term and word meaning cute - His attack is: Trick Collapse."

"Oh my! You're alive! I thought he deleted you!" Emeraldmon exclaimed, jumping out of Travis arms.

He landed safely on the ground, in front of the floating Corismon. Corismon blinked.

"I thought so too, but I guess his attack was only strong enough to weaken me enough to return me to this form of mine. I adore this form of mine." Corismon smiled.

Travis laughed, kneeling down in front of Corismon, beside Emeraldmon.

"Yeah I adore you also, no matter how you look Prince." Travis smiled.

"Prince?" Corismon asked, blinking.

"You know, like I call Emeraldmon or any of his other forms Comet?" Travis reminded.

"Oh yeah. Prince it is." Corismon smiled.

"And you two know what?" Travis inquired.

"What?" Emeraldmon and Corismon asked in unison, staring at Travis.

"We're late! Even though I have no idea how we could help, but anyway hold onto me so the three of us can get there together." Travis explained, standing up straight.

Corismon hopped over to touch Travis, while Emeraldmon's little hands grabbed hold onto his leg. Travis took out his D-Satuza and closed his eyes, clenching his D-Satuza in his hands tightly, concentrating on Tracy and Ahmad, not the location Travis didn't notice how his D-Satuza changed, but it did. All three turned transparent green, and the earth swallowed all three, with all three vanishing...

"Where is he?" Tracy questioned, muttering.

"Who?" Shetamon asked.

"Travis! Who else?!" Tracy snapped.

Shetamon and Foximon jumped back slightly from Tracy's sudden temper. She was waiting alone with Shetamon and Foximon, with her back being supported by an emerald green wall of a building that was still standing.

"Looking for me sweetness?" A voice asked.

Recognizing the voice, Tracy scowled and turned towards it, as did Shetamon and Foximon. She narrowed her eyes at Travis, but then she looked confused at the floating codelimin. She was already familiar with Emeraldmon. Travis walked towards Tracy, with Emeraldmon by his right side, walking along, and the floating codelimin floating to his left side.

"Faced a little trouble?" Shetamon asked.

"A little? Major trouble I'd say!" Emeraldmon replied, a cold chill going up his spine as he remembered how he was like when he was Chaos Otazoidmon.

'I don't want to ever go through that experience again.' Emeraldmon thought.

'Let's hope you don't. I wasn't going to show myself only until you regressed back down to Emeraldmon; I won't face you as Chaos Otazoidmon.' Travis thought.

'Why not? And just how did you survive?' Emeraldmon thought, asking.

'The green sphere protected me somehow. It was a little too late, but it was late none the less. I'll tell you a secret, but let's keep it between us. There's a bad burn on my chest, twin burns side by side. As for why I won't face you, well, if you thought that I was dead and gone, and then you saw me alive, you might unleash angrily at me and try to finish the job.' Travis thought.

'Oh... Doesn't it hurt?' Emeraldmon thought, asking about the burns.

'A little, but nothing I can't handle.' Travis thought.

"Are you O.K.?" Tracy asked, staring worriedly at Travis.

Travis grinned, putting a thumbs-up.

"Just great. You?" Travis asked.

"Faced some trouble like you guys, but it wasn't anything we couldn't handle." Tracy replied, shrugging.

"From the looks of it, the battle is far from over. Where are Ahmad and his codelimin?" Travis asked, noticing them not around.

Tracy's eyes lit up remembering about Cunomon evolving to Sartomon, and heading to aid Wiz Angemon, with Ahmad and Terrainmon following him. She smiled.

"Around. Who's he?" Tracy asked, nodding towards the floating codelimin.

"This is Corismon. He's Ememon's lower form." Travis introduced.

"Oh. He's cute." Tracy smiled, kneeling down in front of Corismon.

"Well... That's what his name means. Coris is a Twilasin term for cute, and so he's literally Cute Monster." Travis smirked.

"Very suitable for him." Tracy nodded.

"So these are the disciples. I most say impressive." A demonic cold voice remarked.

Tracy; Shetamon, and Foximon were the first to notice the owner of the voice, and instantly Tracy quickly stood up and stepped back towards her soul-warrior copedam and escort in fear. Travis blinked and glanced behind him. He instantly recognized Tyrant Devimon, as his D-Satuza had analyzed him before. Travis narrowed his eyes, while both Emeraldmon and Corismon hid behind Travis' legs.

"You seem to be the leader. It shows. But I heard there were four of you. Care to elaborate on that, because I would really hate to find out that there are only two disciples." Tyrant Devimon requested.

"Honestly... No." Travis refused, shaking his head.

"I see." Tyrant Devimon nodded. "I'll find out for myself then. I won't bother with you two because your Digimon are too weak to face me."

"Too weak? I'm the strongest Digimon of them all!" Shetamon exclaimed, stepping forwards.

Emeraldmon glanced back at his sweetheart and laughed, but Shetamon's glare silenced him, because he realized that she was right for the moment, because he wasn't Otazoidmon.

"Are you sure you want to challenge me?" Tyrant Devimon questioned.

"Sure? You have no choice!" Shetamon hissed.

"Well... I say you make your move first you idiot." Tyrant Devimon remarked, folding his long arms.

"Gladly." Shetamon muttered. "Flaming Tornado!"

Shetamon spun around herself fast at high speeds as she spun into the air and out of sight. Tyrant Devimon remained motionless for a moment, before he swiftly turned around.

"Coil Guard!" Tyrant Devimon yelled.

Tyrant Devimon put his twin bat wings in front of him, and summoned a dark blue and white circular shield in front of himself. A pink tornado appeared in front of Tyrant Devimon, rushing towards his defense. The pink tornado collided with Tyrant Devimon's Coil Guard, and an explosion was the result. When the smoke cleared up, Tyrant Devimon was still standing there unfazed, and with his defense still up.

Shetamon was on her butt, looking dazed, right in front of Tyrant Devimon.

"Who is that?" Tracy asked, whispering.

"Tyrant Devimon. He's mega." Travis replied.

"Shetamon doesn't have a chance." Tracy gasped.

"I know." Travis nodded.

"How?" Shetamon asked.

Tyrant Devimon grinned, "I'm mega you fowl brat! You had your first move, now it's my turn. Chaos Coil!"

His defense vanishing, Tyrant Devimon laid out his hand open in front of him and summoned a light blue and white sphere. He threw it at Shetamon, with an explosive result. Tyrant Devimon smiled.

"Have that be a lesson to the rest of you. You're only worthy of battling me when you're worthy of it." Tyrant Devimon remarked, glancing behind him.

Tyrant Devimon flapped his twin wings, and took to the sky, leaving the disciples behind. Tracy quickly took out her D-Meric and noticed how it changed, her eyes widened, as she also noticed a digi-egg on her D-Meric's monitor, completely blue, with a crown in gold at the center front. Realizing what happened, Tracy sobbed, bending her knees. Travis turned around and noticed Tracy's condition instantly.

"What is it?" Foximon asked, staring at Tracy's face.

"She's... gone." Tracy sobbed.

Travis noticed Tracy's D-Meric, and he quickly took out his, noticing then that it was a little different. The few differences were: the whole cellular was black in color, and the writing was all in dark green. The title 'Disciple of Myths' was spinning below the sphere in the monitor. Above the Satuza title was an outlined crest of myths in dark green. An outlined dark green crescent was diagonal under the diagonal triangle part of the crest on the right.

An outline of the face of the animal soul of the owl took up the whole head of the cellular, above the monitor. The narrow slot for slashing cards was still there. That was all. Travis raised an eyebrow and quickly concluded that his D-Satuza changed when Emeraldmon dark evolved into Chaos Otazoidmon. He shoved his D-Satuza back into its pocket.

"Let me see your D-Meric for a moment Heba." Travis gently requested.

Without glancing up, Tracy handed Travis her D-Meric and Travis saw the differences as well. Similar to the differences of his own D-Satuza, but yet noticed that it was still different from his own. Her whole cellular was black in color, and the writing was all in blue. The monitor was showing a space environment with blackness and stars, with the blue digi-egg in the center. Above the Meric title was an outlined crest of mulige in blue.

An outlined blue crescent was diagonal below to the crest left. An outline of the face of the animal soul of the snow leopard took up the whole head of the cellular, above the monitor.

"This is Shetamon's digi-egg, just like when Otazoidmon first sacrificed himself, and turned back into a digi-egg." Travis explained, handing Tracy back her D-Meric.

Tracy blinked, looked up and took her D-Meric back. She sniffed and stood up straight.

"But why didn't the digi-egg appear where Shetamon... fell?" Tracy asked, coughing 'fell'.

Travis shrugged, "I don't know, but I guess it's safer and easier for you with Shetamon safe in your D-Meric."

"Wait... She'll hatch in here?" Tracy questioned.

"I guess, though I could be wrong. Remember about one of the D-Meric's capabilities of storing limitless stuff in it that Slash Angemon told us about?" Travis reminded.

Tracy nodded, "yeah. I guess it'll be nice."

"I'll protect you Tracy." Foximon assured.

Tracy smiled, staring down at Foximon.

"You better, and besides, you'll evolve quicker this way while I wait for Shetamon to return to her previous form." Tracy remarked.

Foximon blinked, but then her lips turned into a smile.

"Yeah. You're right." Foximon agreed, smiling.

Magna Adoramon landed gracefully down beside them.

"Are you all O.K.?" Magna Adoramon asked.

"Yeah, basically." Travis nodded.

"There are a few downs but we'll pull through." Tracy agreed.

"O.K. What does that mean?" Magna Adoramon inquired, confused.

"Hey! Where were the two of you?! You all should've seen Sartomon! He was so awesome!" Ahmad exclaimed excitedly, approaching his older sister and Travis.

With him were Cunomon; Terrainmon; Belovedmon, and Wiz Angemon.

"What happened? Who's she?" Travis asked, nodding towards Belovedmon.

"Boy. You have a story to tell and so do we." Tracy smiled...

To be continued...

Fandom Digimon of mine:

1. Soil Earthmon - 2. Belovedmon - 3. Tyrant Devimon - 4. Mistmon - 5. Chaos Otazoidmon - 6. Corismon

Fandom Digimon that aren't mine, yet I have gotten permission to use:

Author's Notes: Apparently this episode is going to be three parts. The mysterious large ice codelimin wasn't mentioned in my fandom Digimon list of mine, because he wasn't officially introduced into the story yet. Like the previous part was empty of conflict, this one was full of it, with a few surprises. I'll have to say everything I've planned for this part came out nicely, but not completely as I planned it out in detail. By the way, the rolled sandwich I mentioned is known as Shawerma. It's basically thin rolled bread with either chicken or beef in it, along with some other ingredients. It's common here in Jordan. The Grademon with the silver helmet instead of a gold one is mine. Until the next part, read and review. Remia!
