"Is she alright?" Elizabeth asked.
"Don't worry; she'll be fine in a few days," Mr Smith replied. Whitney-Suneku's tutor-had fallen ill so she was unable to make their session today and had apparently sent her cousin to fill in for her. He was tall; light skinned and for some reason wore a black suit. He walked into the kitchen and sat down.

"Suneku, your tutor is here," Elizabeth said from right outside the boundaries of her son's room. He pocketed his D-phone and opened the door to a familiar face. She had midnight black hair that stretched down to her mid back, pale skin and wrinkles around her eyes clearly caused by her excessive smiling. Suneku quickly grabbed his math books and made his way to the kitchen to find the strange man sitting at the dining table looking completely miserable.
Without thinking twice, Suneku asked, "Um, who are you?" The man smiled and replied, "Like your mom said, I'm your tutor," his fake smile never faltering. Suneku didn't really buy that and quickly voiced his opinion; this brought his smile down to a mere grin. "Listen ok, if you sit I'll gladly explain." Suneku nodded and cautiously sat down. The man took off his sunglasses to reveal dark blue eyes and started speaking, "The people I work for seem incredibly interested in you, mister Arakaba. In fact they are interested enough in you to know all about that D-phone you have, and the two digimon you have inside it." Suneku began to panic; the only people that he told about it were Kia, Matthew and his mother (his father had been away on business).
"Well if it isn't Mr, Smith," Demidevimon said from Suneku's pocket, "Johnny been treatin' ya good?" Mr. Smith looked around before realizing that the voice was one of the formally mentioned digimon. He told Suneku that maybe the device should remain on silent until their conversation finished, a suggestion that he agreed with and after changing the settings left it in his hand. While Patamon was ok with the silence hoping that it would also keep his ears from the demon (to no avail) Demi was trying to shout and show them the middle finger which somehow worked as soon there was a blur where a portion of his wing would normally be.
"I'm listing." Suneku said, sounding much more confident than he felt.
"As I said before, my bosses seem incredibly interested in you Mr, Arakaba. Hell even I don't know where they get all of the info that they do, however I do know that what they have on you and your little classmates are enough to make all of you a little worried. So I'm going to ask you to come with me and we have two ways that you can follow." Suneku sighed.
"Let me guess, the easy way or the hard way?"

Driving down the street in a black van, Suneku told him that if he wanted to get Kia he would have to make a detour. "Don't worry," Mr, Smith said. "Both him and Matthew should be almost there by now. Suddenly the teen's D-phone started beeping. Surprised, he pulled it out of his black jeans pocket and stared at the screen. He had explored just about everything that the phone could do so he was caught off guard when it showed him a map. The google maps representation of his neighbourhood seemed to be correct and in front of his favourite comic store was a blinking black dot. He switched to the sight of his partners looking incredibly agitated, but not at each other for once.
"It's a digimon," Demi said.
"Which way?" Mr. Smith asked. Suneku gave him the address and the van quickly picked up speed. In no time they were in front of comic zone and out burst who else but Meramon. He didn't know how he knew but there was no doubt that he was the same one, especially after he spoke.
"Well, if it isn't the bastards who tried to kill me." Suneku grimaced but Demidevimon seemed to have different ideas.
"Last time I checked we did kill you burning butt. And we'll do it again!" He would have to have a talk to his partner later, but now the demon had a point.
"Reload!" he cried as his digimon burst out of the D-phone. Patamon quickly expanded his body and blasted a burst of air, however Meramon was ready and quickly gathered the heat in is arms to take the brunt of the blast.
"Twin, Sickles!" Two pink energy crescents hit Meramon in his abdomen causing him to stumble and almost crash back into the comic store. Gazimon was flying towards their direction added by six glowing white wings and two crescent shaped blades instead of his claws, running behind the feline/rabbit hybrid was matt with D-phone in hand and sweat running down his face (not surprising considering the dark blue hoodie). After arriving at their side, Gazimon lost his upgrades and 'gracefully' landed on the ground. Meramon however did not laugh, instead opting for a quick 'Fire Ball' causing everyone to scatter.
"The street cameras are off, go wild." Mr. Smith said from the van after putting down his IPhone. Gazimon released a yellow cloud from his mouth shouting "Electric Stun Blast!" Patamon helped it hit its target and Demidevimon chucked an empty syringe at his paralyzed target. Meramon stumbled for a minute but quickly recovered and used his "Magma Blast" to launch multiple molten rocks in their direction. Thinking quickly, Matt slashed a card which translated into a giant orange shield with a familiar sun-like crest on it absorbing the blows. After it had stopped them from burning to death, Gazimon jumped and chucked the non-offensive weapon in the direction of the stitches on its mouth. Before it could make contact however, it dissipated and Meramon was greeted by a few swift icy punches from Gazimon in his stomach. Meramon made a quick grab and caught the digimon; burning him from the contact alone.
"Now I can get rid of the most annoying of you pests first." He cracked a smile and began to tighten his grip causing Gazimon to yelp and squirm in pain. Both boys searched through their cards for something to help and Matt stopped at a card he hadn't used before. He frowned, "Digi-modify! Digivolution activate!" His D-phone screen burst into a bright violet light and soon his partner was encased in an orb of the same colour. "Gazimon digivolve to… Devidramon!" and out of that orb came a demonic looking dramon. His voice was deep and almost sinister but still containing Gazimon's general attitude. The entire body was black besides its red claws, along with its four eyes of the same colour. It had two tattered wings on its back, small bat wings for ears. When standing straight his arms were long enough to reach his ankles. Everyone besides Meramon stared in awe at the towering digimon. Devidramon took flight and his partner granted him a little speed boost via card. He started flying in a circle above Meramon causing a slight vacuum with a gust of wind. "Demonic, Gale!" the dramon started making random cuts in his formation each one sending a shock wave down in the living flame's direction until it was nothing but shot after shot. At this point Meramon was on one knee with both arms raised above his head; however Devidramon lost his speed boost and as such was losing what made the attack so deadly. Meramon got back up and raised his hand in Devidramon's direction, "Roaring, 'Black' Flame!" instead of the normal fire, the digimon spouted pitch black flames which Devidramon easily dodged. The flames spread to the rest of Meramon's body, Suneku and Matthew brought up their D-phones.
Name: Black Meramon
Level: Champion
Type: Unknown
Attacks: Roaring Black flame, Dark Fireball, Black Fame Fist, Dark Magma, Dark Flare Wave
This Meramon has had an anomaly develop to the point that its core program has been altered. Its fire will burn away anything it touches however humans and digimon don't feel it until it has already eaten away at them. Its attacks now seem to have a darkness theme in them. (Released in today's expansion)
Name: Devidramon
Level: Champion
Type: Virus
Attacks: Crimson Nail, Red Eye, Demonic Gale
One of the few (if not the only) dramon to come from the dark area: this particular dramon has unusually long arms and uses those along with its large nails to chop its opponent to pieces. Its tail is able to split into a claw like appendage which it uses to skewer any target along with its eyes that are able to paralyze any living thing. It is said to be created by the evil feelings of hackers and as such is known as one of the most evil digimon in existence. Its name and design are derived from 'Devil Dramon'
"Digi Modify! Frozen Wind, Activate!" Devidramon blasted the mini blizzard at Black Meramon.
"Dark Flare Wave!" The flames on Black Meramon's body started to get larger and he charged straight through causing Devidramon to fly further away. When the digimon emerged from the attack it was smiling and its flames were back to their normal size. Devidramon was keeping enough distance to have Meramon's attention on him but not let him get close enough to be burned. "We need a plan partner!" Devidramon yelled. It was clear that Black Meramon was gaining an advantage as the dragon was having a hard time keeping up and Matt didn't want to use his hyper speed in case it would have been wasted. "Double Modify! Goliath, Frigimon Activate!" Two cards at once, Matt had only done it once before and again he got the desired effects. Devidramon grew twice his size and his claws gained a familiar mist. Meramon charged and Devidramon quickly flew away not wanting to risk anywhere besides his claws to get caught.
"Red Eye!" The demon's eyes began glowing and meramon was quickly rooted to the spot. "Sub-Zero, Crimson Nail!" Devidramon started quickly hacking at the dark flame, each strike causing a small amount of ice to appear. Eventually, to everyone's surprise, Black Meramon was a frozen flame. (This is anime logic people, don't question it)
"Digi Modify! Hyper speed Activate!" No sooner was another vacuum created, however this one was strong enough to lift the frozen digimon off of the ground.
"Demonic… GALE!" Devidramon was a blur and this barrage of strikes was so powerful that it instantly cut the ice into multiple pieces leaving nothing behind.
On his way back to the ground Devidramon was enveloped in another violet light and quickly changed back into Gazimon causing him fall. Matt caught him and inspected every last inch of his partner. "Are you ok?" Gazimon nodded, "Are you sure? Cause normally you can hold champion no problem." Gazimon mumbled that he just needed some rest. Matt reloaded the digimon then walked over to Mr. Smith and Suneku.
"Off the record, nice fight kid. On the record, I need you two to get in here right now." Both Suneku and Matt considered just leaving but then remembered that these suits know where they live. They took one last look at this street for the day; devoid of any life besides a few cats and scorched almost entirely.
"What about the egg?" Suneku asked.
"I'll personally delete it." Matt replied.

"What do you mean only one scout has reported!?" boomed a voice. Connected to the voice was a large figure hidden in darkness. "L-l-lord Titamon. They appear to have lost the f-f-forms they gained…" said a terrified shadow. Titamon looked down in disgust.
"Show me the ones that destroyed those pathetic excuses for 'darks'," He stated, anger radiating off of him. The shadow left and quickly returned. It thrust out a portion of itself creating six holograms; each one showing a tamer and their partner(s) that had defeated one of the three dark digimon. "I'm feeling generous. And as such will allow your pathetic existence to continue until I see fit. LEAVE WORM!" Not wasting any time the shadow melted leaving Titamon to his thoughts. 'So that idiotic fang is using children? Ha, this should be interesting' he chuckled 'If they did lose those forms they will be here any minute.'
