A/N: I'm back! It's been over a year and a half since I left updated, so I'm sorry about that. The last year has been crazy though. In fact, I have had this chapter all planned out in my head for over a year now. I had begun to write it and was over halfway through when my computer went completely crazy on me and I had to get the hard-drive replaced TWICE! After that a whole bunch of other things happened. My car broke down, I had to get a new one, had a breakup which really hurt me for a while. But I also went mostly full time writing my "Digital and Dino-Thunder Power Rangers" Series. Also work, church and two jobs take up most of my time. So enjoy! I hope to have plenty more chapters up soon as well!
A Test of Trust: Part 1
Tim let Yamaki know everything. From how not only were the Digidestined a Digimon T.V. Show, but so was the Tamers and HYPNOS. He also revealed how he and the newest Digidestined as well as T.K. and Kari became Digital Power Rangers during their Junior years in High School and that he was the Silver Megaligo Ranger and still involved with Zordon and the Power Rangers. "Then after one of our battles, Gennai told me that something was happening in the Digital World. I told Zordon about it and came to the conclusion that I needed to help out here, so I left my really good friend and ranger partner in charge of the Megaligo Team."
Yamaki had no change of emotion however and remained at a strict cautiousness, "How do I know that our position hasn't been compromised? You say that our adventures turned into a T.V. Show just like the Digidestined's, no one was supposed to know about this."
"I understand Yamaki, unfortunately for you, probably, it happened. Worse yet, the evil forces may have also found out. Tell me, are you planning on once again using the Juggernaut program?"
"How could you possibly...!" Yamaki stopped short.
"It's kind of obvious. You used it to combat the D-Reaper, and if Rosa and whoever else is behind the scenes does happen to know about this, it could be dangerous! In fact, she may know where your base is and the programing you use for the program."
"Well... do you have any suggestions?"
"That's the hard part. I don't know as much as Izzy does and I'm not sure if Ken remembers much anymore about Digital World programming, but they are the only two geniuses I know, besides Willis in America. I mean...wait."
"What? Tell me now!"
Tim gained a thoughtful look of hope on his face, "Call up the monster makers. I may know someone who can help. Two people who have a better knowledge of technology than maybe even Izzy does!"
"Well, get them quick! We've got work to do!"
"Right away! I'm going to head to the Den. I'm sure Izzy is there and I know Tai will be too..."
"Hold on, why would you get Tai Kamiya?"
"Because I'm sure that Tai has already found you and Hypnos out. I'd check with your fellow agents about that." With that, Tim got up and left Yamki in the room.
Yamaki picked up his cell phone and speed dialed a number, "Riley. Gather Talley and head to Hypnos. We've got work to do and we may not have much time." He didn't give Riley any time to talk, pressed end and speed dialed another number, "Please Janyu, answer!" He murmured outloud to himself. For all he knew, Mr. Wong could be out for another daddy/daughter date night with Suzy.
(West Shijnjuku)
Janyu entered the entrance of the dojo, bowed towards the Japanese flag and then towards the sensei, before he acknowledged his daughter. Suzy had followed in Henry's footsteps in martial arts and their dad was proud of that, "Suzy, are you ready to go?"
Suzy was very tall, much like Henry was at 14, at 5'8'' she grinned towards her father, "Hi daddy!" She turned to the sensei, "Sensei?"
"That is all for today young one."
Suzy puffed her cheeks, she certainly hadn't lost her ability to puff up her cheeks when someone said or did something she didn't like, and crossed her arms, "I'm not young anymore!" She pouted.
Janyu chuckled, "You're still young to us at 14 years old. Trust me, you'll understand that when the time comes." (A/N: In the Japanese, she was about 6 as Henry was 10, almost 11. For some reason though, they're made to be in 7th grade)
"Yeah, yeah, I'll still be young to you when I'm 40, I get it already."
Both the sensei and Janyu roared with laughter. It was cut short however when Janyu's cell phone rang. He took it off his belt clip and studied the number, his eyes grew wide with confusion.
Suzy, holding Lopmon, cocked her head, "Daddy? There something wrong?"
"I'm not sure, hold on, I have to take this." He said as he went to step out of the dojo.
Unable to hold down her curiosity, Suzie snuck around to follow her father as he heard his voice answer the phone, "Yamaki! To whom do I owe this pleasure?" As the seconds dragged on, Janyu's brows furrowed and his face taking on a more serious tone like he had when the D-Reaper attacked. Suzy could recognize that look anywhere and knew that something was wrong. Just then she felt a hand on her slender, yet very broad shoulder, It was her sensei, "You know it isn't polite to spy on others."
Suzy sighed defeated, "I know sensei, but something must be wrong. He's talking to Mr. Yamaki! So something must've happened to Henry!"
At that moment Janyu stepped around the corner, "I knew I'd find you here." He was still on the phone, "Yes, I'm here with my daughter. You sure we can't schedule this for later on?" He frowned, "Okay, we'll be there right away." He then closed his cell.
Lopmon finally said something and looked up at Suzy, "Suzy, I wasn't sure at first, but something is coming."
"A digimon?"
"Something Digital, I know that much."
"Is Henry in trouble daddy?"
"He must be. Yamaki wants me to report to HYPNOS, right away. Sorry sweetheart, but looks like our night out will have to be put on hold."
"It's okay! I was hoping for a little adventure anyways!"
"Don't you be getting any ideas. Now let's get going, there's not a moment to waste."
(Odaiba University)
Sora, Mimi, Matt, T.K., Kari, Rika, Kazu, Kenta, Henry, Takato, Davis, Tai, Ken, Izzy and Yolie were all inside the den chatting about recent events, but mainly about Sora's regrowing hair, "So how's the hair coming in Sora?"
Sora blushed, "It's coming along just fine, Yolie. We still don't know what went wrong, there must be something in the chemical content."
"Perhaps there needs to be more of a basic substance mixed in with it." Izzy suggested. "Like Tai's hair gel for example."
He expected laughter, but out of the girls was basic shock, "You dabble in hair products?"Yolie wondered.
"Of course, I'm not just all computer science you know."
"T.K., what's the matter?" Kari wondered, seeing as how he and Davis were constantly glancing towards one direction of the Den, "That guy. I've never seen him before, yet something about him looks familiar."
"That's weird! And what kind of fashion statement is he trying to make there with that hair of his attempting to cover a golden eye? Not to mention that Egyptian knockoff, wardrobe is completely tacky!"
"Mimi!" Sora gasped.
"But it's true!"
"Hold up Mimi. Did you say golden eye?"
"Yes, can't you see it? Any fashion artist can see under any style."
"Hey, remember that dude who accidentally gave that puzzle to you, T.K.?"
"Yeah, of course I remember Davis."
"Scared me half to death," Kari muttered, "Thought we'd lose the real T.K. forever to that weird Yami character."
"I never met this guy," Tai said, seemingly upset he didn't know about this. "You Matt?"
"Nope, can't say I did."
Tim walked up to the table, "Hey guys, how are you guys?" Unfortunately, only Kazu and Kenta were the only ones who heard him.
"Hey dude! They're talking about some strange guy that just walked in over there."
"Looks pretty shady to me." Kenta described.
Tim was curious now and looked up, only to see a face he never, ever wanted to see. He clenched his teeth as the man approached them, "Yami Pegasus!" He sneered.
"Well, well, Timmy boy, I'm flattered you even know me."
"Don't be, how about you go back to the shadow realm you crawled out of."
"Ahh, unfortunately for you, that won't be possible. That is unless you beat me in a duel."
"FORGET IT! Besides, I don't even have cards."
"Then you'll have to go to the Shadow Realm by benefit of forfeit!"
"That's enough Pegasus!" A different voice yelled out.
The group turned around to find a group of young adults standing in the entryway of the Den. T.K, Kari and Davis and their digimon, recognized two of them immediately.
"Hey, isn't that!" Kari pointed out.
"Yugi and Seto Kaiba," T.K. finished, "Interesting to see you two again."
"Hey! You don't remember us?"
"I think I do, Tristan, Tea and Joey right?" Davis asked.
Joey was as cocky as usual, "That's right! And we're here to put you back where you belong Yami Pegasus!"
The man chuckled evily, "Well, well Yugiboy, Kaibaboy. Pleasant to see you both here."
"Save it," Kaiba said coldly. "Duel me now!"
"Gladly, once I duel him." Pegasus pointed to Tim.
"Told you, don't have cards, so you can't duel me." Tim then began to walk out of the den.
"I don't think so boy."
By now the entire den had gotten pretty frightened and had left the room with the exception of the Digidestined and Tamers. As Tim began to head out the door he was knocked back with a sudden thud, "What the?" He tried to go through again, but a barrier seemed to be blocking the way. Tim growled, "Well, looks like I have no choice."
"Tim! You don't have to!" Rika shouted with concern.
"If I don't, he'll dispose of us all. Besides, I can handle him. But I have just these few cards, just not enough. So I wasn't lying when I said I didn't have the cards."
Pegasus was already at the other side of the room so it was probable he couldn't hear what they were saying. Kaiba and Yugi nodded, and turned to him, "Then you'll use some of ours," Yugi offered.
Tim was about to hesitate when Kaiba spoke, "I won't take no for an answer."
Tim stayed silent for a minute before complying, "Very well. Fine then Pegasus! Do your worst!"
Pegasus laughed evilly, "I guarantee it will be you who will do the worst."
Then, as if by magic, a huge dueling field, similar to the ones in Duelist Kingdom, showed up in the middle of the whole Den. This meant that if there was a 5 star card, Tim could use any one of them without having to sacrifice 2 or 3 monsters. 'Bet Obelisk and the other god cards are in this.' He thought. 'No doubt Kaiba's 3 blue eyes are in it and with Dark Magician and Dark Magician girl, it should be a good match. But I can't underestimate Toon World. 9 times out of 10, this guy would use it. I've gotta figure out a way to get him to get that card from him. But then also he's got 1,000 eyes relinquished. If I can remember how Yugi's duel with that card went, I'll be fine.'
"Be careful! I sense something very dark about him." Renamon warned.
"Don't worry, I'll win. Just not in a way you'd expect."
"That's the spirit!" Terriermon cheered, "Knock his eye out! Literally!"
"Terriermon..."
"What? I'm just stating the facts."
"You're in enough trouble as it is, now stop it."
"LET'S DUEL!" Tim and Pegasus exclaimed at once. Both of them drew 5 cards. Tim glanced at his cards and almost passed out at what he saw. 'Let's take a look, shall we?' Pegasus thought to himself. As his eye began to shine, Tim recognized what he was doing and smiled. But what cards Tim saw, is not what was reflected to Pegasus. Pegasus saw weak and ineffective cards, "HAHA! You won't win! I place this card face down on the field and I put Red Archery Girl, in attack mode. I believe it's your turn Timmy boy."
Tim wasn't worried, actually he was in a shockingly calm state.
"Okay, I'm confused now Yuge. But didn't this guy see your cards countless times in Duelist Kingdom?"
"He sure did Joey, as did he with Kaiba. I'm just as confused as you are. This guy must know that Pegasus can see his cards."
"That wouldn't stop this goon from seeing his cards though."
"Hate to say it, but Kaibs is right, here Yuge!"
Tim stared straight at Pegasus, "That the best you are going to do?" He joked, "If so, I place this card face down in defense mode and then this card face down on the field. Looks like it's back to you."
Pegasus laughed yet again, "You've fallen into my trap! First! My face down card is the trap card, 'X-DEFENSE!' Causing your Kuribo to go into attack mode, and now, Toon World!" He flicked it down, but not without consequence.
"HAH! I figured you had Toon World on the first draw! That's why THIS is also a Magic AND Trap card! One of the ones that I carried with me, 'Card Intercept!' It allows me to take any card that's on YOUR side of the field and up to two cards! Therefore I choose your Red Archery Girl and Toon World to now be on MY side of the field! Unfortunately for me, I must end my turn for now, but not before I place down one more card and make Red Archery Girl into Toon Archery Girl ."
"4 moves in and neither one has lost a single monster or life point except for that card switch!" Tea noted, "How is that possible?"
The pharaoh came out as a shadow, "He's somehow figured out a neutral strategy. I think he wants to play this out as much as possible. An interesting strategist move, possibly to weed out as many cards as Pegasus has. Unfortunately for Pegasus, his Toon World was taken on the first shot! He'd better hope that his 1,000 Eyes Restrict doesn't get taken either. That's his best shot."
"So he's trying to get to either his 1,000 eyes or Relinquished or both?"
Tim thought to himself carefully, 'If I can get his 1,000 Eyes Restrict fusion combo away from him, he won't have a chance. I've got to do this carefully.' (A/N: I haven't seen the Duelist Kingdom saga in so long, I'm surprised at how much I remember it. I guess because this is such a dark and vivid memory for me, I remember it more.)
(West Shinjuku- HYPNOS Headquarters)
"Alright Yamaki, I'm here and so is Shibumi, surprisingly enough."
"And the rest of your crew, Janyu?"
"They'll be here. Now, what's this all about?"
"I guess now's a good time as any. For the last couple months, we've been tracking a mole that we believe is not only in the Digital World, but also in our world as well. It's only been just the last couple weeks we've been able to shed any light on the mole. It just so happens that it is a young, human, Mexican girl, presumably around 16."
"A mole? What are you talking about?"
"Not too long ago, we discovered an area in the Digital World that was being compromised. So, Riley, Talley and I went on an undercover assignment at Odaiba University, where we're guising ourselves as professors."
"Odaiba University? But that's where Henry goes!"
"I know, and so are Takato Matsuki and Rika Nonaka and their other friends are also going. I happen to have Mr. Takato and your son in one of my classes. But that's not the point. The area of the Digital World that we've been tracking, is an area that we never knew existed until now. This is where it gets strange. Your son and his friends have been battling against monsters that have strangely biomerged without benefit of a Digital Field."
Shibumi raised an eyebrow, "No digital field? Are you saying that they're just suddenly appearing in the blink of an eye or coming through some sort of rift that doesn't require a field?"
"Actually Shibumi, your second guess is the closest. But it's not a rift they're coming through, but an ACTUAL computer, by means of a strange computer program that even I can't tap into. But I've figured out why that is too. Not are your children the only ones fighting, but so are another group of students with Digimon."
Up till this point, Suzy was half-listening and half-daydreaming until he got to that part, "Another group of Tamers?" Lopmon asked.
"No. This is going to be hard to believe, but remember the attacks in HeightonView Terrace and Odaiba almost 8 to 12 years ago?"
"I remember, it's what made me go back into the Digimon project and study the Digital World more to see if there were any connections."
"Well Shibumi, not only were they attacks, but they were actual Digimon attacks. The ones who stopped them, were none other than the Digidestined."
Suzy couldn't believe her ears, "From the T.V. Show?" she blurted.
"That's correct."
"But...how? I mean, that's impossible!" Janyu stammered.
"Yeah, I traveled the Digital World myself, and there was no record of actual Digidestined, though one of the Sovereigns were real."
"Azulongmon, yes, Takato and Henry informed me about him back when the D-Reaper attacked. But apparently, we only were able to research one area of the Digital World, the other regions were too far from even your son's position and it's one of those other regions, where the mole is coming from. Now, we were going to use the Juggernaut program to fish the mole out, however another Digidestined, this one from America found me out and told me that it wouldn't work. Chances are the mole already knows and is planning a counterattack. However, I've been able to talk with Izzy Izumi, the Digidestined's tech guru, and he's going to be valuable to the work. The American also says he has an idea or two that may work, but he would need your help to do it. He's also got some friends in the states that may have some program that we can use to stop this thing. He should be contacting them now."
"Then we should get to work ourselves."
Shibumi nodded, "Agreed Janyu."
Just then, a huge blast outside shook the entire building.
Yamaki's danger voice went into effect, "What in the world was that? Talley, any information on what just happened?"
"Data analysis is coming in now sir!" She replied.
"Sir!" Riley reported, "There is a massive stream of Digital data coming in from outside of HYPNOS!"
"Is it the D-Reaper?"
"No sir, if it was we'd know. It's definitely Digimon oriented. Unfortunately, I can't get a view of the Digimon because all viewing systems have been temporarily knocked out. The scanners barely survived."
Yamaki scowled, "So we're fighting blind here." He looked back at Janyu, but discovered something else missing, "Uh, where's your daughter Mr. Wong?"
Janyu's eyes grew wide as he realized he couldn't see his daughter anywhere in sight, "SUZY! He bellowed as he flashed out the doors and through the hallways. Yamaki and Shibumi followed, not too far behind. Sure enough, Suzy was outside with Lopmon at the ready, looking for whatever caused the blast. "It's here Suzy. I can sense it, and its got enormous energy."
"Suzy! Get back in here!"
Suzy was getting a little annoyed at her father, "Daddy! Dont' be silly! I'm not that little 6 year old Suzy anymore."
Just then the earth shook again, almost knocking Suzy off of her feet. Quickly she turned around, looked up, and gasped at what she saw, "Uhhh, Lopmon? Is that...Gallantmon?"
Yamaki pushed his way out the door, "Takato? Is that you?"
ChaosGallantmon just stared at them with no emotion in his eyes.
"FOOLS!" They heard, "This is ChaosGallantmon and he'll destroy you for good!" The voice was a girl's, but they couldn't identify anyone.
"Lopmon! You have to digivolve!"
"I can try to stop him, but I can only digivolve to Ultimate, Suzy. ChaosGallantmon's a Mega!"
"But you have to try, we've got to protect this place."
"I understand, okay Suzy, help me out."
Lopmon Digivolve To! Antylamon!
Immediately, Antylomon went into battle with ChaosGallantmon.
"You're such a little shrimp." Rosa mocked Suzy.
"What? Who's that? Where are you, show yourself!" Suzy demanded.
Rosa laughed, "Show myself? What's a little worm like you going to do to me."
Suzy positioned herself, "Plenty to you!"
Rosa immersed from the shadows, "Heh, I doubt that little girl."
"HEY!" Suzy barked, "I'm not a little kid anymore, why does everyone think that?" Finally they got a good glimpse of Rosa, "Wait a minute, you're just a kid like me! Teenager yes, but still pretty young yourself."
"Harrumph! I'm more mature than you'll ever be. Anyway, ChaosGallantmon will be able to destroy your partner in no time. Right now he's just toying with her."
As if on cue, ChaosGallantmon slammed Antylamon back to the ground landing right next to Suzy, "Suzy...ChaosGallantmon, he's...he's too tough for me to face alone."
"So right you are, worthless Ultimate!"
"Who are you" Suzy asked again.
"My, my. Stubborn are we? Fine then! I'm the Digimon Empress! My name is Rosa!"
The name struck a sudden chord with Yamaki as soon as he heard it, "Hold on just a minute! Then that means you're...Dr. Marquez's daughter!"
"Well!" Rosa snorted, "Nothing gets past you...Professor!" She mocked in a snively manner. "ChaosGallantmon, trash them all!"
ChaosGallantmon readied his giant dark joust and was about to fire a blast at Suzy, when out of no where, "JUSTICE KICK!"
"Justimon!" Suzy praised.
Antylamon finally was able to get up, "Thank you. If you didn't come, we'd be digi-delicacies."
"You're welcome" Ryo and Cyberdramon said at the same time, "Now, let's take care of this digimon!"
Suzy nodded and poised in defense, "I'll help too. Err, that is if I can find that Rosa girl."
Antylamon looked down on her, literally, "Just leave the fighting to us Suzy, we'll handle this digimon!"
The scenes split in half showing Tim vs. ShadowPegasus with the others in the background along with Suzy, Antylamon and Justimon facing ChaosGallantmon and Rosa in the far off distance.
What is Rosa's plan for attacking the Real World while Tim and Pegasus are in a locked, stalemate duel monsters battle? Find out next time on "DIGIMON THE COLLEGE YEARS!
A/N: Now, I need YOUR help. Please help me choose the really fast digimon in the Digital World that kept ChaosGallantmon busy allowing Agumon and the others to escape. He'll be key for the next chapter.
