Raven soon went through the portal after hearing that a giant web of dokugumon had eaten away at the barrier between their digital world and the digidestines, whatever could have amassed some of the most retarded digimon to react in such a way was beyond her and in some ways, she simply didn't wish to know.

The mess was even worse than she first thought it was, how they could have caused so much damage in eight hours was beyond her, and now both D'arcmon and Sanglpoupmon were fighting tooth and nail to keep the amassing group of Dokugumon from breaking the defenses.

"Where in the bloody hells did they come from?!" Raven shouted as she blasted a few of them down with a frag grenade, DATH was trained to use militaristic weapons even at a young age for their digital world was the law of evolution, survival of the fittest.

"I spotted groups of them gathering so I took sangloupmon to obliterate the establishing group, I should have remained here overnight. Also I may have been seeing things but there appears to be activity on the other side." He said as he took a pistol from his hip belt and shot a few of the smaller buggers down.

"The digidestined said that their portal had opened once again." She said before stabbing a dokugumon in the head with a virtual high frequency plasma blade.

"I don't know if I can stomach all of these legs." Sangloupmon said; he had always attempted to make dark humored jokes in the worst possible times.

"Then blow them off and stick to the bodies!" Sparrow shouted.

"Will do boss!" He smiled and gobbled up a few more of the spiders, legs included. D'arcmon was more graceful in her way of killing the arachnids which was by using a series of sword strikes combined with dancing to cut each of their heads off and absorbing the energy which blasted into the air.

They sighed a little once the last of the Dokugumon and Kodokugumon but they had little time before some of the Dokugumon that came from the digidestines digital world began to swarm their own once again. Cursing Sparrow sighed, "No point in holding back, sangloupmon have you killed enough to evolve?"

"I've lost count of how many I have eaten, so yes, I should be able too." He said before he shone into a more sapient form. "Let's just see how they deal with a Matadormon on their eight legged structures." Matadormon said as he readied himself to begin slicing up Dokugumon into strips. "I might serve them with teriyaki sauce after I'm done or save them for a vinegar marinade."

"Think about food later, here they come!" Sparrow said.

D'arcmon X looked at Raven to see if she wanted her to evolve, when raven nodded she too shone into a lady-devimon X, however the difference was that her arms were slightly more proportional, the outfit she wore held a vary layered skirt tied around her waist and filled in from the torn fabric so she now had her arm and leg covered. Her wings were filled in and larger, and the black ghoul that extended from the original was now separate and flew around her and she developed small horns that grew out and curved around where her ears would be.

Evolution, while risky under normal circumstances, was also beneficial because they were both vampire types so absorbing energy didn't require conversion simply because all the digimon in battle were virus types. They continued striking out against the champions but it felt like an endless battle because more would fill their place.

"Where do they keep coming from?!" Lady-Devimon X shouted as she blasted a group by absorbing the ghoul that surrounded her and used it's energy to blow a whole in the horde.

"Dunno but I bet penguinmon's a little jealous, after all you know how much she likes spiders." Matadormon laughed when he thought about the look on penguinmon's face, "ah well, more for me."

"Both of you focus on surviving." Sparrow said as he shot another Kodokugumon. It felt like hours before they finally found the endless line of Dokugumon cease, with one last attempt to break their numbers both Matadormon and Lady-Devimon x used their most powerful attacks to obliterate all but a few stragglers which were quickly shot down.

"You're getting quite tactless in your age Sparrow." A voice said behind them. Raven's eyes lit up when she heard the voice, it was Astamon. The air was almost knocked out of him when she ran right into him and hugged him tightly.

"And your timing is as horrible as ever." Sparrow responded to Astamon's snarky comment.

"Not this time I'm afraid, turns out an Arukenimon was causing a glitch in the system, she was constantly recreating Dokugumon at rapid rates and laying eggs as if her life depended on it. Lucky for you, my eyes are still strong, I shot her before she could make your lives even worse."

"I guess I owe you for one this time, it scares me that something like that could break into the system." Sparrow responded.

"Just curse that Myotismon fellow for creating such a troublesome virus, this one wasn't the same one but if there's one, more are bound to follow." He said. "Though with the digital world, change is bound to happen."

Lady-Devimon x and Matadormon both degenerated back to their rookie forms and rested onto the ground, their stomachs full to bursting of spider data.

"I'm never eating another spider." Renamon groaned as she rubbed her stomach.

"I second that opinion." Dracmon stated, "I won't need another "sacrifice" for a long time…"

"So you didn't just come here to gloat about eliminating the central problem are you?" Sparrow said.

Astamon shook his head, "I'm afraid the creator, Yggdrasil, himself has asked me to send a message, he said he's reconsidered the possibility of DATA members to keep their digimon but there is a condition for them to prove their worth."

"What kind of message?" Raven said, he handed her the message and when she read it over her eyes widened.

"What?!"
