"Justin are you there?!" yelled Matt into the darkness. "I'm here!" he answered. "Kotemon, Bearmon, are you there?" "I'm right here Matt," answered Kotemon. "Yeah, I'm here," said Bearmon, "Justin are you okay?" "Matt what's going on?" asked Justin. "Justin are you okay?" repeated Bearmon. "Yeah, I'm fine," answered Justin, "Why are you so worried about me!?" "Because you're his responsibility," answered Matt. "What?" asked Justin. "It has to do with what's going on," answered Matt, "I'll explain everything later, but first we have to get out of here." "Wait, where's Celest and Clarissa?" asked Bearmon. "They're not here or else they would've responded by now," answered Matt. "Matt why are we blindfolded?" asked Justin. "I don't know Justin, but I'll get us out here," reassured Matt.

Just then they heard two large blasts and the truck came to an abrupt stop. "What's happening?" screamed Justin in fear. "I don't know," answered Matt. The back door swung open and someone was removing their blindfolds. Matt looked up at his kidnapper, "YOU BASTARD!" he yelled as jumped up and started to punch him. Someone pulled him off and said, "That's enough young one."

Matt looked up to see a digimon dressed in armor and had a falcon resting on his shoulder. "My name is Valkyrimon," he said, "I'm here to set you free." Matt looked up to see some of the same strange digimon around them as well as humans who accompanied them, "Why should I trust you," he said, "You're with them." "That's not true," said one of the humans with large uncontrolled hair, "He came and stopped the truck, that's why you heard those blasts." "Yeah, he told us who you are and that you weren't involved in the incident near the city," said the same orange little dinosaur.

"I believe these are yours," said Valkyrimon as he handed Justin and Matt their D-Hover's. "What about Clarissa and Celest?" asked Kotemon. "They were in a different convey," answered the same human, "Valkyrimon already intercepted them." "Yes," continued Valkyrimon, "They said that they would meet you at Summit Point. I informed them that Marcus would meet you there later." "Is he alright?" asked Matt. "Yes, he is fine," asnwered Valkyrimon, "but unfortuneately they already brought him to their Head Quarters so I am not able to retrieve him, however someone with a bit more leverage has left to retrieve him for you, so do not worry he will be fine. Now I wish you to not think me rude, but I believe it is time you left to find your friends." "Thank you," said Matt, "Come on you three let's go."

"Where the hell are we Kudamon?" asked Marcus. "Beats me," answered Kudamon, "but where ever we are it has to be linked with whoever covered up the park incident." "You're right," agreed Marcus, "They must think that we were the ones that caused the destruction and are trying to hide the truth from everyone." "Very good," came the voice of the suited man, "Your not as stupid as you look."

"What did you say!" roared Marcus in rage. "Ah, quite the temper there," said the man, "I wonder if that's what sparked your sudden desire for destruction earlier." Marcus, noticing the man's eagerness to place the blame on him decided to calm down and said, "If you were listening you would have realized that it was not us that caused the destruction, but another digimon." "And you also would have noticed," continued Kudamon, "that we were fighting to protect the city, that is if you had any education at all." "No need to bother Kudamon," said Marcus, "Obviously his brain is as outdated as his suit." "Ah, very clever, but it's going to take more than a few meaningless jabs to get my attention," said the man. "Well, we've got all day," said Marcus. "Actually, it might be longer Marcus, I mean we are in here until this nice man chooses to let us out," added Kudamon. "Oh, I'm sorry your right," replied Marcus, "We've got as much time as your schedule allows."

"Alright enough kid games," said the man, "why did you choose to destroy the city!" "It wasn't so much a choice as it was an urge," answered Marcus with deep sarcasm, "Wouldn't you agree Kudamon?" "I found it to be more of a fleeting desire," answered Kudamon. "YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY," belowed the man, "YOU THINK THIS IS ALL A GAME? DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH DESTRUCTION YOU CAUSED!" "Kudamon," answered Marcus, "I could have sworn that we had previously mentioned that we were not involved in the attack upon the city, but were only trying to protect it." "Yes," responded Kudamon, "but remember he said he didn't believe us and then told us that it took more than a few, "meaningless jabs," I think were his words, to push his buttons." "Well it seams that we atleast managed to push his buttons," replied Marcus. "With no more than four offending comments," continued Kudamon, "That's got to be a record." "THAT'S ENOUGH," yelled the man as he pounded his fist against the bars on their prison, "If you want to play games then we can play a few of my own personal favorites," he threatened. "That will be all," said a new voice.

"Gatomon what are you doing down here," said the man, "I thought I sent you and Kari to do damage controll in the city." "Do not tell me that you no longer recognize me Kouichi." Just as she said this Gatomon glowed white and digivolved into Ophanimon. "Ophanimon it is you," said Kouichi, "I apologize for my rudeness." "Who the hell are you?" asked Marcus. "She's one of the three celestial digimon left to rule the Digital World in the stead of the five guardians," answered Kouichi. "I'm glad that you have not forgotten," said Ophanimon to Kouichi, "Now, you will free these two immediately." "I'm sorry I cannot do that," he answered, "They have caused total destruction to our city and…" "It was not them," interrupted Ophanimon, "they were trying to stop the destruction caused by Mothmon."

"You mean," stuttered Kouichi, "you've created new digidestined?" "No," answered Ophanimon, "I will explain everything to you once you have set them free." "Yes Ophanimon," obeyed Kouichi. "Marcus," said Ophanimon, "you're friends are waiting for you at Summit Point. Once you have met them there I wish for you to explain to them everything that has happened. Once finished do not leave until Kouichi and his men arrive. They will inform you of what has happened and on what your next actions should be." "Why should I…" began Marcus but Ophanimon interrupted and said, "because I was the one who deliverd Kudamon to you, and because the fate of both our worlds depends on you." "Why can't you explain everything to us?" asked Kudamon. "Because my presence in this world has been detected and I can no longer guide you in your actions that is why I will leave you in the hands of Kouichi once all is explained to him. I promise you will understand once all of this is over. Now, do as I say." "Alright," answered Marcus, "Let's go Kudamon." "This way," said Kouichi showing them a secret passage, "or else my men will think that you've escaped, and here, I think you might need this," he said as he handed Marcus his D-Hover. With that Marcus and Kudamon left and Ophanimon began explaining everything to Kouichi.

"You mean there's a whole other world out there," said Justin in amazement. "And these creatures are from there. Digimon you called them," continued Celest. "Yes," answered Matt, "but not all of them are friendly, as you've already seen." "And some of them seem to want to destroy humanity," added Clarissa. "And since we're the only ones who are able to do something about it, it is our obligation to fight to protect not only our world, but their world as well, as it has been explained to me," came Marcus' voice.

"MARCUS!" screamed Celest in joy as she ran to hug her big brother. "It's alright Celest, I'm here," he comforted her. "Marcus thank god you're safe," sighed Clarissa in relief as she ran, hugged him, and kissed him on the cheek. Marcus began to blush and then Matt said, "It's nice to see that you're still alive and kicking." "Well, you know I couldn't let you guys have all the fun." "Ha," laughed Matt as he half hugged Marcus. "Whoa," said Marcus as he spotted Bearmon and Ryudamon, "This is a shocker. It's going to be a lot harder trying to hide a bear and a dinosaur than it is a ferret, dog, and self concealing humanoid. What happened?" After he spoke these words Clarissa, Matt, Celest, and Justin began explaining what happened while Marcus was gone.

"They set traps for you!?" said Marcus in astonishment. "Yeah, it was lucky that Ryudamon gap digivolved and saved us," said Celest. "And Bearmon too," added Justin. "If it wasn't for them we'd probably be dead," imputed Matt. "Thanks you two," said Marcus, "for saving my friends and my little sis." "No problem," said Ryudamon. "It was nothing," added Bearmon. "What are we chop liver," asked Kotemon. "Thanks to you two too," said Marcus, "I know that it was team effort, because I doubt that these two could have handled them without you either." "Thanks," said Kotemon. "It's a pleasure to serve Clarissa," said Labramon. "By the way," interrupted Matt, "What happened to you?"

"Well I left to go fight the new digimon and when I arrived on the scene I was attacked. I barely dodged it and found out that we were dealing with a Mothmon," said Marcus. "Then Marcus and I agreed that our best bet at fighting him would be on a roof since he was a flying digimon," continued Kudamon. "We got there and Kudamon was having a hard time battling Mothmon," added Marcus, "Mothmon was sucking his energy at one point and I hit him over the head with some debris." "I pulled him out of the way and told him that he shouldn't be near the fighting and he cracked a joke," said Kudamon. "It was sarcasm," responded Marcus, "and after Kudamon went back to fighting Mothmon. They had two attacks that hit head on and caused a shock wave that left me hanging from the side of the building." "Marcus you could've died!" screamed Celest. "I'm fine now," said Marcus. "That caused me to loose concentration for a second and Mothmon's attack overtook mine and knocked me to the edge of the roof," continued Kudamon. "I saw this and ran towards him, and after that I don't really remember what happened. Do you?" Marcus asked Kudamon. "No, I just remember feeling warmth and great power surging in me," answered Kudamon. "Same here," replied Marcus. "So what happened?" asked Justin. "They merged," came Kouichi's voice.

"They what!" yelled Matt in surprise. "They merged together," answered Kouichi, "I don't even really understand it, but I do know that they merged together to form a new and more powerful digimon." "Arch Kudamon," said Marcus and Kudamon together. "What!" said Celest. "Arch Kudamon," said Marcus, "that what we became." "How is that even possible?" asked Clarissa. "Yeah," added Justin, "They're two different creatures from two different worlds." "Yes, but hasn't this whole ordeal proven that anything is possible," asserted Matt. "But still, it seems that this would be mere fantasy," said Labramon. "Yeah, but aren't digimon only suppose to digivovle in sequential stages," said Ryudamon, "Bearmon and I skipped our in-training stages and digivolved straight into rookies." "So, wouldn't that prove that we are capable of more than ordinary digimon," added Bearmon. "But, still there's such a difference between us and them," said Celest." "Yes, but there are also so many similarities as well," replied Kotemon.

"Very good," said Kouichi, "I can see that this is an intelligent group. Yes this is very much possible though. You see there were once ten legendary warriors that fought and died to protect the Digital World, but instead of being reincarnated as Digimon they were reincarnated as humans. Now, when the Digital World was in danger the Five Guardians were suppose to call these warriors back so that they could defend the Digital World, but they chose not to and created special digimon to accompany humans and protect the digital world, they were called The Digidestined. They did this twice until they realized that it wouldn't be enough to face their new evil so they decided to call forth only five of the warriors, but I managed to slip into the Digital World and help them defeat Lucemon, the digimon that wanted to rule the world. Now four years ago there was a digimon named Chronosmon that threatened the world again. The Digidestined's power would not be enough and a fellow Warrior who had sacrificed his human body to enter the Digital World convinced the Five Guardians to awaken all ten warriors. They did so and with the help of the Digidestined we ten defeated the remaining Demon Lords, however the task of defeating Chronosmon was still at hand. We fought against him and fully tapped into our powers as the Legendary Warriors. Now, when we did this we also tapped into our existence as the reincarnated Warriors and used this in our final attack upon Chronosmon and in doing so we restarted the reincarnation process. This was not revealed to me until Ophanimon came and told me when she freed Marcus. Now the Five Guardians realized this year's before and created a back up plan, you five and your digimon. They had you born on the planes between the Digital World and our world giving you the power of digitality, meaning you can take on digital forms. They also created your digimon to have more power than ordinary digimon, which is why you've been able to defeat Champions. Now you can take on these digital forms and merge them with your digimon to make them stronger. Now, this is what happened with Marcus. He was battling Mothmon, an armor digimon with powers between that of a Champion and Ultimate. Kudamon's power was not enough to destroy him, and Marcus' will to protect Kudamon caused him to amalgamate with him, giving Kudamon more than enough power to destroy him. Each of you is capable of this and we are waiting for you to discover these powers so that we can guide you in our next steps."

"Why are you waiting on us to discover how to do this?" asked Marcus. "Because there is a new evil that is threatening to break the barrier between our world and the Digital World," answered Kouichi, "If he is successful he will merge the two worlds together and create a new world in which he can rule. You are the only ones who have a chance of defeating him, since the ten warriors are in their reincarnation process and the Digidestined don't have enough power to defeat him, but you have to discover your powers first before you even stand a chance."

"Question," said Matt, "What exactly do you do?" "We, nine of the formerly Ten Legendary Warriors, were put in charge in handling all digimon matters by the Three Celestial Digimon and the government. It is an organization called the DSC, Digital Support Command. Each of us nine are commanders of different world regions across the globe. Each commander has some of the Digidestined with him to help in case of serious situations. I am the leader of the commanders and am stationed here in Japan. Now, for some reason unknown Japan seems to be a major hotspot for digimon crossings and as such it calls for more protective measures, thus we have more Digidestined positioned here, however digimon crossings have picked up world wide."

"Do you have any idea why?" asked Clarissa. "No," answered Kouichi, "and this is where I'm asking for your help. I would like you to join my team and help with the excessive crossings. I've just had to send what was left of the Digidestined in my precinct to other world areas to deal with the massive increase in crossings, so I am left defenseless." "You want us to join you?" asked Justin. "We can't abandon him," said Kotemon, "He needs our help." "We're in," said Marcus unexpectedly. "What!" yelled everyone else. "Don't you remember what I just said," responded Marcus, "We're the only people that can do anything about what's happening so we have to try and do something, otherwise we're just turning our backs on everyone." "I agree," said Matt. "Wherever you go I go," said Kotemon. "I'm in," said Justin. "I promised I would protect you," said Bearmon. "If you three are in then I'm in," said Clarissa. "I'm duty bound to serve and protect you," said Labramon. "Wherever Marcus goes I go," said Celest. "I'm not about to abandon you," said Ryudamon. "Looks like we've got ourselves a team," said Kudamon. "Looks so," said Marcus. "Alright," said Kouichi, "here are your badges. Keep these on you at all times because without them you cannot enter restricted areas. I will contact you on your D-Hovers whenever you're needed." "Alright," replied everyone. With that Kouichi walked off and left the ten of them there.

"What are going to do with them," asked Matt as he pointed towards Ryudamon and Bearmon. "We can hide them where I found Kudamon," said Marcus. "It's not far from school and it's not far from our houses," he said to Matt. "That sounds good," said Clarissa. "But I don't want to leave him," said Celest. "Besides you get to keep your digimon," said Justin. "That's because ours don't attract too much attention," said Matt to Justin. "Neither will he," said Justin. "Justin look at him," replied Matt, "he's a big bear." "I have to agree with Celest and Justin on this one," said Ryudamon. "It's dangerous for them to be out there without us to protect them," said Bearmon. "He does have a point," said Labramon. "But it doesn't change the fact they will cause too much attention," said Kotemon. Just then Justin and Celest's D-Hover's began to glow and they started to scan Ryudamon and Bearmon, but as they did the two digimon disappeared within the D-Hover's. "How's that possible?" gasped Clarissa. "Well they are digital," said Marcus. "It only makes sense that they can be stored," added Kudamon. "But how come our D-Hover's didn't store our digimon?" asked Matt. "Probably because we don't have to be concealed," said Labramon. "We can blend in or hide pretty easily," continued Kotemon, "So it must take a dire need for it to happen." "Um Marcus," said Celest as she looked down at her D-Hover, "We should be home by now." "What?" he said. "Yeah it's already ten," said Justin. "Crap we all better get home quick," said Marcus and with that they all sped off towards their houses.

"My Queen," came a strangely metallic voice, "it seems as though they evaded your traps." "What!" screamed the voice of a female. "Yes, our attackers seem to have been destroyed and the children and their digimon still run free," said the metallic voice. "Send more to finish the job," said the female. "Yes my Queen," said the metallic voice as he bowed out of her presence.
