Previously on Revolution of the DigiDestined:

Daisuke with you, we got to meet the Dark Masters at last. There were four of them, Metal Seadramon; Puppetmon; Machinedramon, and Piedmon. Our goal was to defeat them one by one to reach Spiral Peak. We faced off first with Metal Seadramon and with help from Whamon and Hercules Kabuterimon; War Greymon was able to defeat Metal Seadramon. Our next opponent, Puppetmon.

Gee, I wonder how we'll fair with him. On with the conclusion...

The entire group was walking in the forest, getting tired.

"The sea is gone. That leaves us three to deal with." Koushiro noted.

"We're in the forest." Ken reminded.

"So Puppetmon is next." Taichi sighed.

"It would be Metal Garurumon's turn to defeat him." Yamato grinned.

"Oh really?" Koushiro asked, glaring.

Yamato grinned. "Hercules Kabuterimon won't stand a chance against him."

Koushiro was about to reply but he vanished from the group's sight. Yamato blinked.

"There goes one of our geniuses." Joe sighed.

Joe vanished.

"This is really getting creepy." Mimi noted.

Mimi vanished.

"Only our voyagers vanish." Tentomon noted.

"This is really getting annoying." Gomamon sighed.

"Tell me about it." Palmon folded her arms.

The Destined Voyagers stayed silent.

"We need to hide before another one of us vanish." Gatomon whispered.

"Why are you whispering?" Veemon asked

"Because there's someone watching us I presume. It might be Puppetmon. With his skills, he was the one who vanished Izzy; Joe, and Mimi. After all, the forest is his realm." Gatomon explained

"Wow. So you're saying that they're still somewhere here in the forest?" Agumon asked.

Gatomon nodded. "That's right."

"O.K. Where to hide?" Wormmon asked, looking upwards.

He blinked. "I found it! I found it!"

The others gathered around him.

"What did you find?" Ken whispered.

The group gasped, but Ken didn't vanish. Osamu sighed. Wormmon nodded upwards. They group looked upwards.

"We need a decoy." Taichi commented.

"I'll be it." Daisuke volunteered.

Taichi blinked. "So be it."

"Are you sure?" Hikari asked.

Daisuke grinned. "I'll be absolutely fine. Veemon would be able to find me quickly if I vanished. Don't forget that I and Veemon were here before."

Hikari sighed. "Take care."

Daisuke nodded. The remaining group climbed up the trees, close to each other, while Daisuke and Veemon walked away as decoy. Daisuke had his arms behind his back and he was whistling. Veemon was right beside him...

Puppetmon was in his house, laughing. He was in front of his forest realm map and some of the group was separated from the others. Puppetmon turned to the TV screen and saw only Daisuke. He blinked.

"Where are the others?!" He roared.

He approached the screen and changed the channels, but only Daisuke and Veemon were in sight. Puppetmon growled. He returned to his map. He moved Takeru to another place alone. Puppetmon formed up a plan through it. He squeezed Daisuke's nose for a few moments and tipped his head, making him fall back. Puppetmon tickled Daisuke's stomach for some time before stopping and leaving.

"I'll have a playmate to have fun with." Puppetmon smiled...

"You think he'll know where we are?" Sora asked.

"We don't have a clue." Biyomon replied.

Just then, Takeru vanished.

"Takeru!" Yamato whispered.

"T.K.!" Patamon whispered...

"Things are quiet." Veemon noted.

"I know. Do you think the others are safe?" Daisuke asked.

Veemon shrugged. "Beats me."

Just then, Daisuke couldn't breathe. He stopped with Veemon.

"What wrong?" Veemon asked.

Daisuke pounded his chest.

"I... can't... breath." He muttered funny.

Veemon blinked. "Puppetmon must be doing this."

"But... how? It's... so... darn... good... and... Clever." Daisuke muttered funny.

Veemon shrugged. Daisuke's face paled.

"Breath through your mouth." Veemon suggested.

"Excellent... idea." Daisuke muttered.

He opened his mouth, and breathed in and out through it. Daisuke sighed. His face turned to normal.

"I thought I was a goner there." He giggled.

Just then Daisuke fell backwards, onto his back.

"Davis!" Veemon yelled.

"I'm fine... AHAHAHAH..." Daisuke continued laughing.

"What's wrong with you? Have you gone nuts?" Veemon asked.

"Something is tickling me... Probably Puppetmon from somewhere." Daisuke laughed.

"That explains it then." Veemon nodded.

Just like it suddenly started, it suddenly ended. Daisuke blinked. He closed his mouth and breathed through his nose. It was O.K. Unsure and cautious, Daisuke slowly got to his feet.

"That was an odd experience." Daisuke whispered.

"For you I would agree." Veemon agreed...

"Gatomon? Let's go find Daisuke and Veemon. We'll look for the others with him." Hikari whispered.

"What about the rest here?" Gatomon asked, whispering.

"We'll come back to them once we find the others." Hikari replied, whispering.

Gatomon nodded. She leaped down. Hikari jumped down behind her copedam.

"Hikari?" Taichi asked.

Hikari ran off, out of their sight.

Taichi slapped his forehead. "Great."

Patamon flew down, following Hikari and Gatomon. The rest of the group jumped down.

"I guess it's over then." Osamu sighed.

"The disappearing act." Ken nodded.

"We should start looking for the others." Silkmon reminded.

"That we should." Taichi agreed.

"Hikari is out of sight though." Miyako worried...

Takeru looked around him, scared. Puppetmon came towards him after some time passed.

"Where am I?" Takeru asked, on the verge of crying.

"You're somewhere in my realm, close to my house. Come on, I want to play with you." Puppetmon explained.

"No! Where are the others?!" Takeru asked.

"They're all O.K. They're looking for you. Come now and let's play together." Puppetmon repeated.

"If the others are looking for me I should help them." Takeru replied.

"T.K.!" Patamon yelled above them.

"Patamon!" Takeru joyfully replied.

Puppetmon sighed.

"Puppet Pummel!" He yelled.

The attack hit the flying Patamon. He yelled in pain, falling to the ground. Takeru rushed towards him and easily caught him. Patamon coughed.

"It was great knowing you Takeru... Goodbye..." Patamon slowly closed his eyes.

Takeru's eyes filled with tears.

"No Patamon... Not again..." He sobbed.

Patamon's data started to break up. Takeru laid him down on the ground. Puppetmon took his arm and led him to his house. Takeru looked back until Patamon was either out of sight or gone. With Takeru and Puppetmon away and nobody else in sight, the data particles reformed, gathering up together. Eventually a new copedam, other than Patamon appeared. He was still Takeru's copedam.

The new copedam stared into the direction that Takeru and Puppetmon headed. After awhile, it flew in that direction...
