A/N: I promise this is the last chapter in which I have a main role. You know how it is. A new character needs to be given a proper introduction, lol! But all is not lost because I brought in Suzie to make up for it so I hope everyone enjoys the older Suzie. It's how I believe she may have now become after 8-9 years. :D I have quite a few surprises up my sleeve for you guys that miss the Create Card writing this series and some very hilarious gigs coming up. I can't wait to show you what I have in store for Kazu and Kenta, how I'm going to deal with Rosa and so on. Nevertheless, I must admit, the last chapter and this one are not my favorites though I do enjoy writing about the fight between Rosa and Suzie and the Digimon, but putting a good deal of focus on my own character is something I don't want or like to do. I've never liked it when people place their own characters in and they're the huge focus and hero of the story when the hero title belongs to all of the characters and sometimes individual characters in each one.

Well, anyways, everyone enjoy!

A Test of Trust (Part 2)

LAST TIME, on Digimon: The College Years!

Suzie's POV: My brother and his friends got into a sticky situation down at Odaiba University as a strange man appeared wanting to duel Tim, that American Digidestined, apparently to test his trust! Meanwhile, my daddy got a call from Mr. Yamaki, from whom we found out that there were Digimon attacking again. We all met inside HYPNOS with Mr. Shibumi, where Yamaki informed us about the actual existence of the Digidestined. All of a sudden, there was a Digimon attack outside of HYPNOS in which me and Lopmon ran to check out. It turned out that it was the dark version of Gallantmon with no trace of Takato or Guilmon in him. As I tried to figure out the new Digimon Empress, who called herself Rosa, apparently the daughter of one of the professors at Odaiba, Antylamon tried to fight ChaosGallantmon but he was too much for her. Just as he was about to finish her off, Ryo came in as Justimon and saved our knecks, but we're not out of danger yet!

Ms. Mackenzie made her way down the corridors past the girls dorms and through the doors that led to the main hallway of the campus. Just a little to the right was "The Den", located just next to the Main Auditorium. Straight ahead were the doors that lead to the Science and Technologies Hall and the rest of that building where were all the rest of the classrooms were held as well as the entrance to the other hall of classes also holding to the stairs that led to the top of the building of each conjoining hall. The gymnasium, where Kazu and Kenta had the pajama party, was the last building connected. She had turned left to leave the building at the front, but then heard numerous voices just down the hall at the Den. Quickly, she made her way towards the entrance of The Den, and pushed her way through the crowd of people. "What's going on here?" She inquired to one of the students that was staring into the room, "Some strange looking guy came in looking for that other college looking dude and forced him to Duel him. Something about Duel Monsters and the Shadow Realm. Those other students stayed inside to watch!"

"Stayed inside?"

"There's some sort of forcefield keeping people from going in and out of The Den! Apparently it won't go away unless that Tim guy beats the guy with the eye. And we also heard that kid's life is at stake!"

'Duel Monsters? I don't remember that in the prophecy, unless, it's a trap to keep those girls and her friends from something!' She noticed that Sora and Mimi were inside as well. She ran quickly away from The Den and to the Library, located just to the left. Stepping inside she dialed a number on her cell phone, not realizing someone else was there that could hear her.

Jeri was behind the counter doing inventory of magazines that had just come in, "Let's see, Sports Illustrated, Girly Girl Magazine, TIME, Fashion +..." (In the background) "Dr. Marquez, I need to see you right away." Jeri looked up in curiosity, "Huh? What's Ms. Mackenzie doing here?" She wondered aloud to herself, "Wait, Dr. Marquez? Isn't that the one professor here from Mexico? Then she remembered the conversation between Sora and Mimi before the meeting. "That's Rosa's adopted mom!" Then she glanced warily towards her computer screen, it was on Shinjuku's Television Broadcasting Network. There she saw the headline, "BREAKING NEWS!" Glaring on the screen and below it, "Attack in West Shinjuku?"

Jeri quickly popped in her earbuds and clicked the video tab on the news article for Live Coverage, "This is the Shinjuku Broadcasting Network with breaking news! A report of an attack has come from downtown West Shinjuku near the HYPNOS Government Agency. Our field reporter Rala Kamari is close to the scene,"

"Thank you Maruki. I'm near the Matsuki bakery, near Shinjuku park, which is one of the main points of activities for citizens in Shinjuku. The road to the HYPNOS station is blocked due to some heavy damage caused by what is believed to possibly be the work of Digimon, much like the ones seen here almost 8 years ago, the giant pig and then a year later the Digital Train that caused havoc throughout the entire district. This attack could also be connected to the giant red mass that engulfed the district for several days before the DIGIMON finally defeated it.

"Any idea when you can get a closer look at the scene?"

"The Matsuki family has just given us permission to look on from their balcony and we're heading up there as we speak... OH MY! You're not going to believe this, but one of the Digimon appears to be huge and looks to be a giant black knight and wait a minute, a possible 8 ft. bunny is fighting the Black Knight. I also see another knight, each of them looking to be Digimon.

Jeri couldn't listen anymore, she shot up out of the swivel chair she was sitting in, catching the attention of Ms. Mackenzie, "Hm? What's the matter miss?" She asked before Jeri could go anywhere.

"Uh...well..." Jeri stuttered, "Nothing really, just something I've gotta take care of!" She finished in a panic as she dashed out the door.

Ms. Mackenzie suddenly realized something, "She was on of the kids in the prophecy!" She said aloud. She rushed out the door after Jeri, "Ma'am! Wait, I need to talk to you!"

(The Den)

"Thousand Eyes." Tim thought to himself, "I have got to get Thousand Eyes away from him. But for now I've got to start attacking his life points." He watched as Pegasus drew a card, "Well, I have no choice but to place Ryu Ran on the field in defense mode and another card face down on the field, to end my turn."

Tim stared at Pegasus intently, picked up another card, quickly glanced at it and almost gasped, but remembered not to, otherwise Pegasus might see his card. Then he figured out what he might be holding, 'I've gotta stop him quick! I know most of his deck, and I have the cards to stop the ones that are most worrisome right now' "First off, I place 2 more cards face down on the field and now for a surprise that I can't wait to get going! In my hand I hold 3 of some of the most powerful monsters! I play them now! But first! Kuriboh, take refuge inside of Toon World!" Kuriboh did so.

Kaiba immediately knew what was up, "YES! He's got him now!"

Yugi wasn't too sure, "I don't know, Pegasus may have a trick up his sleeve with those 2 cards he has face down."

Pegasus chuckled, "Big Mistake! Sending Kuriboh into Toon World allows me to activate Magical Neutralizing Force! Which will now obliterate Toon World and send it back to the way it was!"

Tim laughed, "NOT SO FAST! I knew you had a way to take out Toon World and I had the right card at the right moment, I also have Magical Neutralizing Force which allows me to Neutralize your Magic Card! So now! I shall play from my hand the Magic Card, Dragon Summon! Now for all 3 Blue Eyes White Dragons! And of course, each shall now become, Blue Eyes Toon Dragons!"

"Not so fast Timmy Boy! You've activated my Trap Card! Dragon Capture Jar! I'm sure you're aware that it will take any dragon on the field, Toon or no Toon!"

Tim smiled, "I'm aware! That's why I have this! DUST TORNADO! Wiping out all your Trap Cards on the field! AND NOW! For the final card I have on my field, Polymerization! Combining each of the 3 Blue Eyes Toon Dragons to become...the Blue Eyes Ultimate Toon Dragon!"

Kazu, who had made it behind the barrier with Kenta before it was set up, couldn't stop staring with his mouth wide open, "DUDE! Tim's spreading combos like you wouldn't believe! How's he doing that?"

Kenta answered while staring intently, "What I'd like to know is how is he stopping every move that guy comes up with? It's possible that Tim could even beat Ryo at the Digimon Card Game!"

"Dude! Have you lost your marbles?"

"Hey, I'm just sayin! Not even Ryo blew away his opponents cards that quickly this early in the round and didn't knock off any points on him!"

"Okay, now that I'll admit."

Rika, whom was close by, snorted, "Oh please! You guys are just a duo of windbags, though Kenta IS right! Timotheus here may have a new way of sinking his opponents without directly attacking them."

Kaiba, residing on the other side of the room, along with Yugi, Joey, Tristan and Tea, gazed intently at the duel in hand, 'I've never heard of this guy before. He comes in claiming he has no cards, but yet has a strategy even I haven't experienced before, and I bet even Yugi hasn't seen this kind of duel by a rookie, much less against a proclaimed ghost of a man who invented the game."

Joey seemed to read his mind, "This reminds me of the time during your little Battle City Tournament, that sneaking little cheat, Weevil Underwood, was able to raise up his Life Points on me, except this is seemingly the opposite."

Kaiba actually acknowledged that Joey might be right, "You may be onto something Wheeler. And as much as I hate to admit it, that shadow whatever his name is, seems to know this. He's awfully calm about all this."

'Kaiba's right!" Yugi thought to himself, "There's something, obviously much deeper than this. Atem! Are you around to hear this?"

'I am Yugi, and I know. We must find out what he's really here for. I came here because I sensed his evil presence here. I know the real Pegasus is not here, at least not yet."

Tim, unaware of the conversations going on, continued, "Toon Archery Girl, attack Ryu-Ran!" Ryu-Ran was still in defense mode, so no life points on Pegasus was lost, "But now! Attack his life points directly! Blue Eyes Ultimate Toon Dragon, GO!' A bast of blue lighting engulfed the entire room with bright light, as it wiped away 4,500 of Pegasus's life points.

Pegasus: 10,500 LP

Tim: 15,000 LP

Tim drew 4 more cards, "I must now end my turn, but next time..."

"I must say! I truly enjoy this little charade," Pegasus mocked as he drew a card and looked at it, "But fortunately for you, I can't do anything except for place this card face down in defense mode."

Tim stared on, "Hmm," he looked at the next card he picked, "JINZO! Perfect!" He thought. Then he smiled at Pegasus, "Stop trying to look at my cards, it's futile."

Pegasus then started to smirk, which led to a small chuckle and then finally a loud roaring laughter to which he also spoke, "FOOLISH HUMAN! You want futile? I'll SHOW you futile!"

Yugi immediately saw what was coming, "NO! Watch out! Don't let him get to you!"

Tim furrowed his entire face causing it to show a look of guarding danger, much like how Guilmon growls when a digimon is attacking nearby, "I know all your shadow realm tricks Shadow Pegasus! It's not going to affect me in the slightest! I place this card face down on the field and then Dark Magician in attack mode, which will then become TOON DARK MAGICIAN! And now! Toon Archery Girl attack his face down monster!" The monster was just in defense mode so no damage was done, "Toon Dark Magician! Attack his life points directly! DARK MAGIC ATTACK!"

Pegasus: 8000 LP

Tim: 15000 LP

"FINALLY! Toon Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon ATTACK!"

Pegasus: 3500 LP

Tim: 15000 LP

'There's no time to waste now. I've gotta end this!"

"I'm impressed, quite the strategy attacking me like that. Unfortunately for you and your friends, it is too late!"

His eye shone and a huge dark cloud began to sweep over the entire field of play, but not just the field, it covered the entire side of the room the Tamers and the Digidestined occupied. At that exact second, Kari dropped to her knees struggling to hold her composure, "No! The darkness is so thick!"

T.K., Davis and Tai immediately crouched to her side, "SIS! You've got to fight this!"

"Kari! I know you're still mad at me, and I don't blame you. But don't let it get to you!" Davis consoled her.

"HIKARI!" T.K. was the only one who could call her that, "You hold the Crest of Light, you can beat this! We're all...all...with you..." T.K. suddenly became light headed. But not just him, Yolie, Cody, Davis and the rest of the Digidestined did as well and they all started breathing heavily as the Dark Fog began to feel pressurized upon them.

Takato and the other Tamers started to get concerned and tried to help them, "Guys what's...what is... Oh I feel it too..." Takato became really dizzy.

"I feel...really weak all of a sudden," Henry groaned.

"My body is aching like none other!" Rika shouted in pain.

Tim watched in horror as his friends were struggling to find composure.

ShadowPegasus laughed, "Now what TimmyBoy?" He placed a monster card face down and another card face down as well.

Tim snarled, he was really starting to hate that nickname, he finally had it, "You leave my friends alone!" 'Wait, why am I not fainting like the rest?" He looked down and saw his crest glowing, "Wait! THAT'S IT!"

It seemed that Kari was reading his mind and had the same thought, "I...I am the bearer of light!" She said to herself weakly, "Okay Kari, focus, you can do this." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Tim looked over just as she did, and at that second, she began to shine. Her crest began to place a protective light over all of the Digidestined and the Tamers, lifting the spell of Darkness.

(Girls dorms)

Jeri rushed through the halls to her, Kari and Rika's dorm room and slammed the door open. Immediately, the Digimon in the room all jumped up. "Jeri? What's the matter?" Calumon questioned as he flew into her arms.

She started going through her desk, "No time!"

Curiosity got to Impmon however, "Jeri? What are you doing?"

She didn't answer, and kept searching throughout her drawers for something. She pulled out her D-Arc and placed it in her pocket and rushed out, "Tell the others I'm headed out for a while!" She called back to them

Renamon and Gatomon had just sat there staring at the young woman, "Curious." Renamon finally spoke, "Could she know something we don't?" All of a sudden, her fur stood on end, "RIKA!"

Gatomon felt it too, "KARI! Something is attacking!"

Renamon faced Impmon, "You and Calumon follow Jeri, but don't get caught."

He slowly got up, "HRMPH! I'm not taking orders from you. But I'm going anyways if there's action!"

"C'mon Impmon!" Calumon urged him.

"Yeah, whatevah! HEY WAIT UP!" Calumon had already started out the door leaving Impmon behind.

Gatomon turned to leave, but Renamon halted her, "Where are you going?"

"Look! Let's put our differences aside for now."

"Gladly cat. But where are you leaving to?"

"The boy's dorms, I'm going to get Patamon and the other Digimon."

"No need!" They heard Patamon chirp. "We were watching the Indy 500 when the news came on

"Yeah! Davish and the others are in the Den, but shomething is going on! A huge dark cloud has surrounded the entire room."

"And everyone outside of the room is running like they're chasing squirrels!"

Renamon couldn't help but laugh a little at Guilmon's description.

"Patamon, we've got to help them!"

"We tried! We saw Kazu and Kenta try to go through the huge black cloud, but they came right back out the same way they came! They ran to their dorms right after that."

"Right! And when Gabumon, Biyomon and Agumon tried to attack, it attacked them right back." Veemon added.

Renamon absorbed this thoughtfully, "Hmm, there has to be a way. From what I've learned from being Rika's partner, where there's a will, there's a way."

"Yeah!" Guilmon squealed, "Renamon would know that first hand."

Patamon and Gatomon laughed much to Renamon's annoyance, "Hmph, we need to go, NOW!"

(Southeast of Shinjuku)

The battle had finally strayed Southeast of West Shinjuku and was on the outskirts of Shibuya within a 20 mile radius East of Odaiba. (A/N: I don't know exactly, the geographical locations, but until I study Japan's geography, that's how it's going to be for now. A/N (Updated) I can not believe it! I was right about the 20 mile radius part and the only thing I was wrong about was that I originally thought Shibuya was North of Shinjuku and it's South. Odaiba is just East of Odaiba. It could be easier to go to the Akhibara district, but I figure the long route southeast will be fine.)

"JUSTICE KICK!"

"Have a taste of a little Chrome Digizoid ChaosGallantmon! ARM BOMBER!"

Suzie pumped her fists, "That's the way!"

Both attacks caused some good damage to the corrupted, Black Gear Mega Digimon, but it wasn't enough.

Rosa was not impressed, "HAH! Your pathetic, feeble attempts are no match for a mega of this caliber you burro!"

"We'll see who the donkey is once we're done with you, ROSA!"

"Don't call me Rosa! I am the Digimon Empress!"

"Then come out at show yourself! Or are you cowardice enough, that you have to hide in the shadows, forcing your digimon to do your dirty work for you!" Suzie mocked.

"WHY YOU! Come and find me, if you dare! I'll teach you a thing or two kiddo!"

"I'm NOT A...RRR...Forget it! Once I find you, you'll be sorry you attacked my family!"

Suzie began chasing after Rosa, and it was apparent, that wherever Rosa went, ChaosGallantmon would follow, continuing his assault as he did so.

"Ugh! I'm glad Suzie is leading him out of Shinjuku, but we've got to find some way to destroy this guy Cyberdramon!"

"Ryo! Watch out!" Antylamon warned quickly.

"Whoah! Thanks Antylamon! It's time to step things up a little bit, Justice Burst!"

Justimon began an assault of his own, firing dozens of Orbs of Lightning from his Blitz Arm towards the dark mega. "Antylamon! You go help Suzie out! The girl may be fast, but even she can't run for that much longer."

Antylamon agreed, "Good idea!" She stopped her jumping from building to building and joined her partner on the ground and began running with her, "Suzie, get on my head."

"No! I'm fine!"

"Listen to me Suzie, it's important for you to conserve your strength if you're going to face that girl. She may also be running to square off against your brother and the others!"

That struck something inside Suzy, "You might be on to something! She wants us all together in one spot to destroy us! If she succeeds, Mr. Yamaki and daddy can't devise their plan, okay then! Let's make a plan of our own!"

Antylamon quickly picked her up and started running even faster than before.

"CHAOSGALLANTMON!" Rosa called out for the evil digimon, "Come down here, we're going to Odaiba!"

He swooped down despite Justimon's attacks and picked up Rosa. This caused Justimon to stop suddenly, from firing, "Oh no! I can't fire while he's got her! AH! But he can!"

As Justimon was busy maneuvering around the continuous attacks throughout the air, Antylamon and Suzy reached the pier. "Oh! I forgot! We're at a dead end Antylamon. I'm not sure how we can get across."

"I'm sure there's a way Suzie. But we have to hurry, ChaosGallantmon is right behind us!"

"Hmmm, Oh! This should do the trick." Suzie pulled out a card from her deck, "DIGIMODIFY! Garudamon's wings, activate!" Wings just like Garudamon's quickly shot out of Antylamon's back allowing her to soar into the air.

"Yeah! Now that's the stuff!"

Suzie yelled out to an approaching Justimon, "Ryo! Hurry up. We're going to go across the water. Meet you at the other side of the bay!"

"Right behind you Suze!" Ryo acknowledged from inside of Justimon.

It only took 2 minutes to cross, ChaosGallantmon still firing away at both Digimon and Rosa riding on him, taunting them as they went. "You fools! You should just give up while you're at it!"

Antylamon's wings faded as they got to the beach and Suzie jumped off into the sand, "AS IF! We'll beat you yet, just like my brother and his friends beat the D-Reaper!"

" HAH! Nothing you can do can stop you now! You really think your Yamaki friend can use that Juggernaut program to defeat my master? Think again!"

Suzie was taken back by Rosa's sudden knowledge of the Juggernaut program, "Wait! You know about Juggernaut?"

"Of course I do! I know all about how the Juggernaut program was used multiple times, a couple of times to try and destroy digimon bio-emerging from the Digital World and then to ultimately take down the D-Reaper! He plans to use that against my master, but that will be impossible for you I'm afraid." She bravely flew down off of ChaosGallantmon. "Forget trying to save the world. You're doomed as it is."

"Oh yeah? My daddy was part of the project that made most of the Digimon, and Mr. Shibumi helped the Digital World along, so they know more than you!"

"I'm afraid not! I know the Digital World, inside and out. My master and I will destroy you!"

Suzie huffed, "Yeah right, we'll just see about that. How about you stop hiding behind your precious mega you seemingly created and face me."

"You've certainly got spunk, I'll give you credit. You don't want to fight me, I've got moves which the likes you've never seen!"

"I learn quick, so bring it!"

"As you wish, poquito chica!"

"Yo Estoy no poquito chica!" Suzie shot back.

"Oh, so you know Spanish too, here's how we do things down in Mexico!" Rosa charged like a bull towards Suzie in which she dodged.

Thanks to a variety of moves that she learned from Antylamon, a few years of dance classes and her Sensei, she was able to nimbly twirl over Rosa sending a variety of kicks and punches towards her, while still in the air, to try and block her chi. Rosa was quick herself, however, avoiding almost each punch as if she could sense that they were coming. She used a few of the punches to her advantage, including the last one to grab Suzie, keeping her in mid-air and tried to slam her to the ground. Suzie had other ideas however, using the grab that Rosa made, forcing herself to go backwards instead of forwards like she was being pushed to go, enabling her to force her opponents arms behind her as well. This made Rosa flip over backwards almost falling on the ground with a thud, but Rosa had even more moves as well, as she forced her legs up during the flip, so she could spin her body backwards so her stomach was facing the ground and her feet towards Suzie to kick her abdomen. Using her also sharp mind, Suzie amazingly bent back avoiding the kick altogether, made a backwards arc, leaped using her hands and somersaulted through the air until she was back facing Rosa once again.

It was obvious each one of them had quick, sharp minds enabling them to accurately depict each other's moves. 'She's good," Suzie thought as she panted, "But I've gotta keep going until Henry gets here." She quickly scanned the battle between Justimon and Antylamon who were still trying to hold off ChaosGallantmon.

Rosa's voice suddenly broke her thoughts, "You fight well, for a little girl. But it's not going to be enough, prepare to be destroyed, along with the rest of your pitiful world!"

"Not a chance, Rosa whoever you are."

"I'm the Digimon Empress! And don't you forget that!"

'Digimon Empress!' The word echoed over and over again through Suzie's mind, 'Hold on, she's being controlled. By a dark spore no doubt. If I remember the T.V. Show correctly, Ken had the original spore and that Oikawa guy made multiple copies of it to use on those other kids. But they weren't real, which would have a worse effect on the kids turning them into dark trees!" She scanned Rosa who seemed to be catching her breath, 'Strange, she's breathing heavy. She also is rubbing her neck, like she's really sore all of a sudden. With the dark spore, she's supposed to have lots of energy. Unless...wait a minute! This could be a completely dark spore, still a copy, but very unbalanced! It could destroy her!' "ROSA! Listen to me! You're being controlled by what's called a Dark Spore! Whoever your master is, implanted it into you to make you do his bidding, including creating ChaosGallantmon!"

"HARUMPH! Nothing but lies kid! No one controls me. I was betrayed by someone who claimed to be a very good friend, now I'm just getting even with him and the girl that stole him from me!"

Suzie was stunned by the sudden personal information that Rosa just unveiled to her, "Huhhhhwhaat?"

"Yeah, 8 years ago, a boy came with his Digimon to the Mayan ruins in Mexico to help me send some other Digimon back to the Digital World. I really liked him and I thought he liked me back too!"

"You can't be serious!" A boy called out from the distance, "Rosa, you're crazy for thinking like that!" He approached the two girls calmly. Suzie saw that he had a digimon with him.

"YEAH? What makes you think so?"

"First off, there were two Digidestined there with their digimon, you know that. That was a dangerous time and not the time to be thinking about relationships! Second, Ken has known Yolie since the time they met in the Digital World when he was the Digimon Emperor. They've been dating since they were 14! If you knew the first thing about them, you'd understand why yourself!"

"LIES! All lies! ChaosGallantmon! Destroy them all!"

"Cody?"

"Yeah! Go for it Armadillomon!"

"HOLD UP! Leave it to me's! Corona Blastaaa!"

As Beelzemon forced his way into the battle and blasted ChaosGallantmon, Cody took a surprised step back, "Whoah! Where did?..."

"Beelzemon?" Suzie questioned curiously.

"Dat's right! You talkin to the one and only kid!"

The 'kid' phrase didn't phase Suzie this time, "So this is where you went! We've been looking all over for you!"

"Yeah! Well, a change of scenery's nice, ya knows!"

Rosa laughed evilly, "HAHAHAHAHA! 2 megas and an ultimate? ChaosGallantmon will demolish them all single-handedly!"

Suzie poised again and held out her fist in a ready manner, "Yeah? Shows what you know!"

Armadillomon looked up at Cody, "I think it's time I joined the party. And who better to do the job than Digmon!"

"Go for it buddy! DIGIARMOR ENERGIZE!"

Armadillomon, armor digivolve to! Digmon! The Drill of Power! "My! This is going to be a challenge! But I'm up for it. Who's up for a little...Gold Rush!" As the Digimon resumed their attack.

'Wait a minute, who is this guy?' Suzie was astonished by Armadillomon's armor digivolution, 'That seemed so familiar, where do I remember...WAIT! He must be an 02 Digidestined!' She turned to Cody, "You wouldn't happen to be a Digidestined, would you?"

Cody, a little taken aback by the girl's question stuttered an answer, "Uh..yy...yeah, I am. Why?"

"I KNEW IT! Mr. Yamaki told me and my daddy about the Digidestined being real earlier this afternoon! I guess you should know then, that I'm a Digimon Tamer!"

Cody held a look of shock as his mouth grew wide open, then he remembered his grandpa's words, 'Cody! It's impolite, even when in shock to stand with a surprised look on your face and not say a word, even one word will suffice, just as long as you say something.' Sometimes his grandpa's advice seemed strange, but he was right after all, "Uh, sorry. Wow, you...you're a Tamer? There's a group of them that go to the college not too far from here."

Neither of them were paying attention to the battle going on at this point, "I know, my brother is one of them. I'm Suzie Wong, Henry Wong's little sister! My partner is Lopmon, well currently that Antylamon."

Rosa was growing very impatient and getting very furious, "ALRIGHT THEN FOOLS! Enough with the pleasantries! You're all about to be destroyed in no time anyways! So prepare yourselves!"

Suzie poised again, "BRING IT!"

Once again, Suzie and Rosa went at it, fighting just as gruelingly as before. Only this time, Cody was watching and needless to say, he couldn't believe he was witnessing a cat fight. It was truly a battle of Espanol wits and raw Japanese talent.

In the air, neither side was letting up. ChaosGallantmon was certainly able to hold his own despite facing 2 megas, 1 ultimate and 1 armor Digimon. "We've got to end this!" Ryo's voice rang out!

Antylamon grunted in between attacks, "He's...absorbing...all our...attacks it seems!"

"I ain't givin up! TAKE THIS YOU MINDLESS KNIGHT!" Beelzemon went straight in with a punch, but ChaosGallantmon turned quickly and slammed against the powerful Demon Lord Digimon causing him to smack back first against the water below, completely knocking the breath out of him.

Digmon tried a Gold Rush, but it wasn't enough to combat the huge jousts that ChaosGallantmon seemed to have. Digmon quickly burrowed underground before he could be attacked. Justimon rushed in with a Justice kick, but was flicked away very easily and Antylamon's bunny blades did very little to the mega.

"C'mon you guys! You can do it!" Cody encouraged the Digimon as he also payed attention to the cat fight also happening.

Neither girl would let up. They didn't seem a bit tired and were combating each other, move for move. Suddenly, that changed. Rosa stumbled upon a piece of a metal rod, about a good foot and a half in length, "It's over!" She exclaimed

(Odaiba University)

Tim cringed as he saw the other digidestined and Tamers still struggling under the overwhelming force of the Shadow Realm, despite the light "Shadow...Pegasus..." he forced out, "You coward. What is the reason for this?"

"Hmmmhmmmhmm, Timmy Boy, I'm just simply doing my job!"

Suddenly, Tim hollered with a sharp pain, surging through his chest, "Wha...what's this? No! Not now!"

Shadow Pegasus acted pretty surprised at the sudden action of Tim keeling over in pain, but immediately figured it out, "I knew your body couldn't completely stand against the forces of the Shadow Realm Timmy Boy! Looks like your little Ahlos Danlos (double jointed) syndrome is taking hold because of it!"

Tim cluched the area his heart, as the jolts continued to pound through his chest, "How...how did you..."

"I know because I can see right through your mind again!"

Panting, Tim struggled to stand up against the Dueling Table, "I...must...continue...ahhhhhhh!" 'Wait a minute!' Weakly, he lifted his right hand and pressed the Megaligo Morpher on his left arm and then had to forcingly place the right arm key into the side of the morpher and turn it. He flashed a bright white before changing into a bright silver suit. This restored his energy due to the morphing grid's healing abilities. Breathing a sigh of relief he pressed his helmet, "Helmet, power down!"

"What's this?"

"Forgot one thing Shadow Pegasus, I'm a Ranger." He looked back over at his friends, Kari's light was doing some good, but they could barely stand. "Samurai Power! Power Symbol, go!" Using the Samurai power that the Red Samurai Ranger, Jayden, had given him, he used it to help Kari and the others. "It's over! You best just go!"

"Indeed it's over, for you! In fact I'd say it shall be over in about, 3, 2, 1..."

As if on cue, a huge crash, seemingly from the outside, shook the entire building and the ground they were standing on.

"What the?" Rika shouted.

"Kari!"

"Rika!"

Renamon and Gatomon appeared suddenly, Gatomon in Renamon's hold. It was the only way they could make into the shadow realm.

"Gatomon, what is it?"

"There's an attack! In fact, it's Rosa and ChaosGallantmon. They're here in the real world!"

"WHAT?" Tim snarled.

"Rika, Impmon went to help, and Jeri disappeared to somewhere after she told us about the attack in Shinjuku."

"I don't know how we're going to make it out though, Renamon!"

Tim scowled, "Leave that to me." He drew a card, stared at it, smiled, and then began to place his hand on his deck.

The others gasped, "TIM! If you do, you'll..."

"Don't worry Henry. I understand the risks. It's over Pegasus. You win the duel."

Kaiba was in shock, "He what? How could he just throw the duel away like that? YOU FOOL!"

Tim looked at Kaiba, "I did it for a reason." Looking back at Pegasus, he snapped, "The plan was to stall us while the Digimon Empress made an attack! I should've known that she was behind this." Pegasus just smirked, "Go ahead Shadow Pegasus, do your thing."

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! You've just sealed your fate TimmyBoy! Prepare to be trapped in the shadow realm forever." He announced.

Tim just smiled and looked on.

Protests from the others however, rang out.

"Timmy! You can't!" Kari cried.

T.K. started forward nevously, as did Yugi, "We've got to stop this!"

Atem Yugi however came out from the puzzle and stopped them, "No! We must let him do this on his own."

"But..." Sora, Mimi and Yolie both stammered.

Rika was even more upset, "That's nonsense! We have to get him out of there! Renamon!"

Renamon stayed put, "He is right Rika, there's nothing we can do."

Tim spoke without looking at them, "Guys, go on. You need to get out to whatever battle is going on. It'll be fine." With that, he powered down from his Megaligo suit.

ShadowPegasus's millenium eye shone brightly, starting its process on sending Tim to the shadow realm.

The digidestined and Tamers looked on with terror, but Tai knew they had to get out, "Everyone, come on! We have to go to the battle! Get your Digimon and meet outside! HURRY!" He looked at Matt who also agreed. Tai and Matt hurriedly got them together and began out the doors.

Meanwhile, Shadow Pegasus continued, "SOON! I will once again take my rightful position back in this world! Dispose of the real Maxamillion Pegasus, collect all of the Millenium items and then all worlds will be mine!" Just then, Tim's crest began to glow. He was practically almost unconscious already, but his crest was activating and shining brightly.

Tea's voice caused the Digidestined and Tamers to stop, "What is happening now? You might want to take a look at this!"

Everyone turned back around and each of them gasped as Tim, with his eyes closed, became surrounded in light.

Shadow Pegasus's voice went prima-donna, "What's this? It can't be!"

Then, all the crests began to glow and focus on one spot in the middle of the battling field, Tim opened his eyes, "SHADOW PEGASUS! It is now obvious that you should not be allowed in either this world or the Shadow Realm any longer! You must pay the ultimate price!"

T.K., Kari, Gatomon, Patamon and Arnamon each began to shine as well.

Tai and Matt became bug eyed at the sight and Izzy also looked back and forth between the sight and his computer, "Fascinating! There seems to be some sort of energy influx going on using the power of our crests as well!"

It got even stranger as Shadow Pegasus took it to the next level, "YOU WON'T WIN THAT EASILY!" With that, he began to change shape into something really dark and ghoulish. He was now a giant, unknown humanoid beast with long fangs and a sharp, rigid sword. "THE END IS HERE!"

"NOW!" Tim, T.K. and Kari each shouted.

ARNAMON GOLDEN ARMOR DIGIVOLVE TO! MORATIMON!

Gatomon Warp Digivolve to! Ophanimon!

Patamon Warp Digivolve to! Seraphimon!

The entire group gasped. "PRODIGIOUS! Gatomon and Patamon just warped digivolved to mega!"

Mimi leaned in to see, "What's it say Izzy?"

"Hmm, Got Ophanimon! See here, it says that Ophanimon is a Celestial Angel Digimon! More powerful than the Royal Knights and Loyal Knights, and just as powerful as the 4 digimon sovereigns, her Eden's Javelin and Sefirot Crystals are almost unstoppable!"

Izzy kept tapping away at his keys and finally brought up Seraphimon, but Rika beat him to it using her D-Arc, "Seraphimon! Another Mega Celestial Angel Digimon. His two top attacks are Strike of the Seven Stars and his Excalibur that comes out from his armor in the right forearm!"

Takato held out his D-Arc as well, "I've never heard of that Digimon though!" Finally Moratimon came out on the screen, "Here we go. Says here that Moratimon is a Golden Armor Digimon and Mega Level! His MoratiMagnaCannon and MoratiSaber can pierce through any dark digimon like butter!"

Terriermon plopped down to the ground and faced Henry, "Henry! I think we should help!

"I agree Takatomon!"

Henry shook his head, "Not this time Terriermon, we must conserve our strength."

"He's right boy, come on, let's go on and let them handle this."

Henry and Rika both nodded and ran out leaving the other Digidestined.

"You foolish angels don't scare me! Prepare to feel my wrath!"

Seraphimon lifted his staff, "Your darkness and all other darkness that attempts to conquer the world shall, and will be destroyed by the light! STRIKE! OF THE SEVEN STARS!" Seven super fire heated orbs of light began to emerge and slammed into the great beast.

Ophanimon came forth, "Love (Shows Sora and Yolie) , Mercy (Yolie), Sincerity (Mimi and Yolie) and Friendship (Shows Matt) are the keys to Faith and Trust! Your great evil will not prevail when all of these are on our side! By the grace and greatness of God, you will be stopped! SEFIROT CRYSTALS!" She formed 10 crystals in her hands in a sefirot formation and fired them.

Both a morphed Tim and Moratimon both spoke at once, "LOYALTY to each other and DETERMINATION until the end! This is what defines the heart of the Digidestined! This is what gives us the courage (Shows Tai and Davis), strength (Tim) and confidence (Davis) to do what needs to be done to save this world! MORATICANNON!" Moratimon shot a blast of Goldendigichrome and Tim formed a giant Kanji symbol, both striking the great beast head on knocking him backwards taking out the wall of The Den.

"It is over! GATE OF DESTINY!" Seraphimon used the MagnaAngemon attack opening the gate, "Everyone, shoot at once!"

All three Digimon, and with the help of all the Digivices from the Digidestined binding him, fired their strongest attacks, which forced him into the deadly gate. He roared in pain and tried to get out, but the gate closed on him, spun around, and disappeared from existance.

As that happened, all three digimon de-digivolved, Moratimon back to Arnamon, Ophanimon back to Salamon and Seraphimon to Tokomon. Tim also powered back down. The entire dueling stage disappeared and that was it.

Making his way back to Yugi and Kaiba, Tim handed them the cards back. "Thank you for your help, but I don't want to see these things ever again. It's caused me too much trouble."

"I understand," Yugi replied softly.

"Like Kaiba, I don't buy into the whole, 'Heart of the Cards' spiel, but I do respect the power of the monsters in the shadow realm. After all..." He looked over at his friends, "Digimon, are definitely living proof."

Kaiba stared at him intently, "Expect a challenge from me in the coming future. Your dueling skills are definitely something I've never seen before from a rookie."

"I can't promise that Kaiba. I suggest you keep your promise to Mokuba and leave dueling for a while."

"We'll see." With that he turned around and walked away.

Joey on the other hand ran after him, "Not so fast Kaib! I challenge you to a duel! HEY! You get back here!"

"Errr... I better grab him before he gets too hyped up." Tristan suggested, "Let's go Tea!"

"Yeah, sure! Nice to meet you and your friends!"

Tim smiled, "Same here Tea."

Atem appeared to the side of Yugi, "That was impressive. You held your own against the former Shadow of Pegasus. I believe the real Pegasus would be pleased. You must come visit me one day to discuss events."

"Maybe. We'll see about that. So long Yugi Mutou."

Yugi raised a hand of goodbye as he turned to leave, "You too!" He said before he ran off after his friends.

Tim walked over to the other Digidestined, "Well, that was certainly weird."

"You alright there man?"

"No sweat Matt. In fact I think we should...should get out there and see what's up. We've gotta battle to..." Before he could finish he collapsed limply to the ground. He was still conscious, but couldn't stand up.

Yolie panicked as T.K. and Davis scrambled to lift him up, "WHOAH! Timmy! Are you okay?"

"Yeah Yolie, I'm fine. Just a little more tired than I thought."

Jyou furrowed his brow, "I wouldn't take any chances. Guys, help take him up to my room. I'm going to do a thorough check on him."

"Good idea. T.K., Kari, I want you to stay with Jyou and Tim." Tai instructed them.

"What? Why Tai?"

"Because Kari. Your Digimon just went through a major battle not to mention digivolving to mega for the first time. They need their rest."

"Tai brings up a valid and logical point. We'll need you guys later if things get hairy. Don't worry, I'll call you via my laptop's wifi connection through my Droid, if we need you."

"Hold on!" Sora stopped them, "I think a couple of us should also stay behind, just in case someone tries to attack here and gets ahold of Kari!"

"Okay Sora. You and Mimi should..."

"No! I need to stay here!" Yolie volunteered, "Kari may need me here to DNA Digivolve."

Matt nodded "That's a good idea."

"And I'll stay too. After all, I need to get Palmon anyways! I'll send Biyomon out to you guys as soon as I get there."

"I'm staying too!"

"No way Davis! We may need Imperialdramon!" Ken reminded him.

"Oh yeah! That's right! Alright then! What are we waiting for? Let's get out there!"

"Okay then! Lead the way O'Mighty leader!" Sora joked to which everyone laughed as they ran out.

T.K. and Jyou placed Tim's arms on each of their shoulders and began walking out of the Den, "Good luck you guys," Tim yelled weakly.
