As Ayumi Hamasaki's entourage is exiting the building that houses the offices of Avex Studios, she is flanked by security. The pop singer herself is dressed in a white dress, white fur coat, and white thigh high boots this cold afternoon. Standing directly behind her in a black turtleneck, black pants with black combat boots is Ken Ichijouji, her new head of security. Alongside him is his Digimon partner, Wormmon. The bodyguards walk in front of her as thousands of fans line the sidewalk screaming her name.

"Ayu, we love you!"

Suddenly, a rather large man pushes through the crowd brandishing a knife. He stabs one of the bodyguards in the shoulder. He then lunges for Ayu as Ken shoves her into the arms of her other bodyguard. Ken grabs the attacker by the wrist and tries to wrestle the knife from his hand. While Ken is dealing with the attack, the bodyguard rushes Ayu into her armor plated limousine just as a man holding a .45 comes out of the crowd firing. As the limousine speeds off, the man jumps on its roof. Seeing this, Wormmon springs into action.

"Wormmon digivolve to...Stingmon!" Data began to form around Wormmon as he transformed and grew into a huge green-armored figure with wings. As Stingmon flew after the limousine, Ken struggled with the knife-wielding attacker.

"If I can't have Ayu, no one can."

"Mister, I don't know what you're on and don't really care, but this ends now."

Bringing the other man's arm down across his knee hard, Ken breaks his arm, resulting in him dropping the knife. The man still will not let up, which leads to Ken placing him in a sleeper hold until he passes out.

Meanwhile, Stingmon catches up to the limousine where the crazed gunman is holding on tight. Swooping down, he grabs the gunman off the limousine. The man with a crazed look in his eyes turns the gun on Stingmon, firing once, but the bullet bounces off his armored hide.

"You can't have her! She's mine! You hear me?"

Without warning, the man stops talking and begins to foam at the mouth just as Stingmon arrives back at the Avex offices.

An hour later as the police are on the scene, Ken and Stingmon confer with police chief Aito Ikari as other officers take statements from the witnesses.

"He was talking insane then he just started foaming at the mouth and went limp in my arms. That's all I can tell you, Chief Ikari."

"Well, we will know more in the next day or so. There's one in the morgue we will be awaiting an autopsy on and others that have to come into the hospital. It's not uncommon for crazed fans to attack a star, but two at one time is unheard of.

"I would not be surprised to discover they were both on digiblight, Chief."

"I was thinking along the same lines, Ken. I will keep you informed for your client's sake."

"Thank you Chief. Speaking of which, we had best go to check on Hamasaki-san. Let's go, Stingmon."

"Right, Ken."

Scooping Ken up in his arms, the two fly off over the Tokyo skyline.
