"Koushiro!" Mimi yells over the com system.

"Yes Mimi?" Koushiro answered, irritable.

"My blow-dryer isn't working, could you send maintenance down and find out what the problem is?"

Yamato chuckled as Koushiro sighed, "We cut power to unnecessary power drains, Mimi. Let it air dry,"

"But it'll get all frizzy if that happens! And worst yet, the curling iron isn't on either!"

"That's because it's an unnecessary power drain, Mimi,"

"What! An unnecessary power drain? If you ask any woman you'll find it a NECESSITY of life!"

"Well, not D-Fleet woman, Mimi,"

"D-Fleet is discriminating against woman! I must speak with D-Fleet command about this…" then communications with the bridge and Mimi's quarters were cut off.

Yamato laughed, "Same old Mimi, huh?"

Koushiro mumbled, "Unfortunately,"

Then an ominous beeping sound came, the Ensign told Koushiro, "Um Sir? We have company,"

Koushiro asked, "Who is it? D-Fleet?"

The Ensign shook his head, "the Dark,"

"Tactical Protocols," Koushiro ordered, then the lights dimmed to a red, and the sound of sirens came on.

Yamato relieved an Ensign on the weapons station, informing the captain, "Weapons online. Shields up. Ready to fire on your command,"

Koushiro asked, "What time till they intercept?"

The Ensign replied, "10 seconds sir,"

Koushiro asked helm, "How much longer until we reach the time wormhole?"

The Ensign there replied, "Another 5 minutes at least,"

Yamato yelled, "Targets in range!"

Koushiro ordered, "Fire Quantum Torpedoes, Full Spread,"

Yamato pressed some buttons in a certain order, then the sounds of projectiles firing could be heard throughout the ship.

Yamato replied, looking down on his weapons' monitor, "Targets destroyed, but there are hundreds of ships out there!"

Koushiro tried to think meditatively, until the Dark fighters opened fire. In just seconds, Yamato reported, "Shields down to 30%."

Koushiro ordered helm, "Maximum speed!"

Helm responded, "We are at maximum sir, we need at least 3 more minutes!"

Koushiro turned around, ordered Yamato, "Fire all weapons,"

Yamato nodded, and the DSS Knowledge fired its laser beams, and all of its projectiles. All hits were direct, and all targets neutralized. But just more and more Dark fighters entered the conflict, until the entire sector was nothing more than a sea of Dark fighters.

"Crap," Koushiro muttered.

Then a com link to the bridge was opened with Mimi's quarters, Mimi yelled, "What was that?"

"Dark Fighters," Koushiro replied, dropping back into his chair. The spaceship was taking heavy damage, but still used all of its weapons to punch a hole through to the wormhole.

"Well that's nice to know! Now my com link with D-Fleet is disconnected!"

"You were in contact with D-Fleet Command?"

"Yeah, I wasn't joking about that curling iron business,"

Yamato yelled, "Mimi! You just let D-Fleet know where we are!" then another set of beeping noises came from Yamato's weapons monitor, Yamato looked down and then shouted, "Wonderful! Now an entire armada of D-Fleet ships is coming!"

A flurry of fuses burned out, and circuits exploded in people's faces on the bridge. But the com link was surprisingly still on, Mimi commented, "Well, sorry, but my ideals of gender equality will not waver,"

Yamato screamed, "You're killing us!"

Mimi insisted, "Oh, Please, you're still breathing aren't you?"

Before Yamato could scream any further at Mimi, Koushiro sprung an idea, he asked Yamato, "Where are those D-Fleet ships?"

Yamato looked at the screen than said, "Not far, around 5 seconds to intercept,"

Koushiro ordered, "Plot an intercept course with the D-Fleet ships, when we're within 5 million kilometers drop out of FTL speeds,"

The Ensign on helm nodded, but before he could do anything, his monitor exploded in front of him, Koushiro yelled, "Comptuer! Rewire all helm control to weapons' station!"

A robotic feminine voice responded, "All helm control rewired to weapons' station,"

Koushiro pointed at the burnt Ensign on the ground, ordering another one, "Get this person to the Medical Bay now!"

The burnt Ensign was dragged away into the turbolift, Koushiro looked at Yamato, "I hope controls on the Oikawa aren't different from the ones on my ship,"

Yamato agreed, "Let's hope not,"

Admiral Leomon, commanding the flagship of the D-Fleet armada opened a channel to all D-Fleet ships, "All D-Fleet ships, no one fires on the DSS Knowledge without my order, I repeat no one fires on the ship without my order,"

Then a Geckomon, operating form Helm control, yelled, "Sir! We have the Knowledge in visual range!"

Admiral Leomon, ordered, "Hail them,"

An Elecmon from behind attempted to, pressing some buttons, but failed to receive a hail, "No response,"

Admiral Leomon, then ordered, "Put them on screen,"

Then the giant TV-screen like monitor turned on, and they found the Knowledge dropping out of FTL speeds, and racing towards them heavily damaged by regular speed. Admiral Leomon told the Elecmon, "Open a channel to all D-Fleet ships," he was about to order them to open fire on the Knowledge, until suddenly, a wall of fly-like Dark fighters came into view, fast in pursuit of the Knowledge. Leomon caught off guard along with a bunch of other Digimon on the ship, nearly fell out of his chair. Finding the channel still open to all D-Fleet ships, he hollered, "Fire on the Dark! Fire on the Dark!"

Then a stream of bright projectiles along with lasers firing came forth from the D-Fleet armada, aiming at the Dark ships, destroying some, but the wall still came closer. They ignored the DSS Knowledge as it whizzed by the armada, leaving D-Fleet to handle the Dark.

"Good job, Mimi!" Koushiro yelled, "Your random antics just saved the day!"

Mimi said over the intercom, "I know, I'm- HEY, RANDOM ANTICS?"

Koushiro motioned Yamato to sever the link, which Yamato did while chuckling.

Koushiro dropped back into his chair again, sighing, "I don't even know how I get myself out of these situations,"

Yamato laughed, "Or how you even get in them!"

Koushiro pretended to laugh at that last comment, but then another beeping sound came from Yamato's monitor, "Iz, we're being hailed,"

Koushiro curiously turned around, "From D-Fleet?"

Yamato shook his head, and muttered in surprise, "From the Dark,"

Koushiro looked confused and frightened, "This is the first time anyone has ever communicated with the Dark,"

Yamato added, "Or the first time we were actually hailed by them,"

Koushiro ordered Yamato, "On screen,"

Yamato pressed a button, and nodded, Koushiro turned around, reciting, "This is the Coalition Ship, Knowledge, what do you require?"

Then, on the screen, Taichi came into view, wearing a black robe, and to the shock of Koushiro and Yamato, he had red eyes, and grayed skin, and he creepily said, "Hello Captain Koushiro, Captain Yamato; I am the Lord of the Dark,"
