"Fools, none of you could defeat the great Ninjamon!" Agumon tried slashing at the Ninjamon with his claws, but was evaded with ease.

"Will this guy ever shut up? He's really ruining my moment, what with Koromon Digivolving and all." Chris got his answer from a shuriken thrown at his head. "Miss!" Candlemon managed to make his way behind Ninjamon.

"Molten Wax!" He spat out a white blob that exploded upon contact with Ninjamon burning him, then hardening on his legs and the ground, preventing his escape.

"No, no, no! There's no way I could lose to you!" He struggled in trying to free himself.

"Pepper Breath!" Agumon let loose a fire ball towards Ninjamon with Candlemon following suit.

"Candle Flame!"

"Gah!" There was a small explosion and all that was left of Ninjamon was an Egg.

"Okay now that that bozo's taken care of," started Scott, "We should probably go find the others."

"V-Headbutt!" As with the name Veemon charged forward and headbutted their Ninjamon squarely and right towards Monodramon.

"Spiral Gust!" With its small wings, it whipped up a miniature tornado sending Ninjamon into a tree.

"You are fast…I can go faster…" Ninjamon simply received a fist to the face from Veemon.

"Yeah, yeah, put a sock in it. Magnum Punch!" He sent a barrage of fast punches his opponents way, and Ninjamon fell to his knees.

"Y-you may be able to defeat me, but even if all six of you were to fight Master Musyamon, you would lose for s-ure…" He fell silent then reverted back to a Digiegg. They stood in silence for a moment, grabbed the egg, and then scrambled to find the others.

I decided to go with my gut and try what David did, probably not the smartest thing (I mean it could have failed) I've ever done, but, eh, screw it. "DNA CHARGE!"

"Tsunomon, Digivolve to…" I saw him change his shape via the silhouette of light he gave off he actually had a body now the blade-thing on his head had become a horn, and he had a tail now and arms. "Gabumon!"

"Look out, here he comes!" Gabumon slightly reared up.

"Blue Blaster!" He let loose a small blue flame hitting Musyamon square in the chest, but only slowing him momentarily.

"He can breathe fire?!" I was completely bewildered on how a…whatever he is do that. I winced as Musyamon brought down his katana down on us, just waiting for us to die. But we didn't, I opened my eyes to see that Gabumon was holding up the sword, struggling to keep himself and us alive.

"We're not dying that fast," he grunted.

"So you managed to block one sword, a miracle if I do say myself, let's see you try two!" Musyamon reached for his other sword with his spare arm, and was about to slash at Gabumon from the side when out of nowhere Kotemon jumped onto his shoulder and started pounding on Musyamon in an attempt to stop him. It was an intense clash between the three until Musyamon threw Gabumon and Kotemon off of him. They couldn't possibly fight anymore…not in the condition they were in.

"SPIKING STRIKE!" A purple blade protruded out of Musyamon's chest, he turned to see who had defeated him, then dissipated into an egg. The egg fell onto the ground, and the light faded to show what had defeated Musyamon. It was a tall green Digimon with the appearance of a wasp, but slightly more human. We pulled our Digimon closer to us waiting for the worst to happen. It stood for a moment, turned his head, and a boy came by, maybe a year or two older than David.

"Oh, Stingmon, you may want to degenerate," the boy said, "I think your scaring them."

"Right, right, sorry." He became smaller for sure, now he was lower than my knee when earlier he towered over my brother and I. He looked like a little a little green caterpillar.

"Guys, over here I think I see them!" I knew that voice anywhere, that was Chris! I saw the others scramble into the little clearing, where we told them what happened. Veemon pointed to the guy that saved us.

"Who's the chump?"

"Hmm? Seriously? The name's Ryan." The little caterpillar bowed, and for whatever reason, it just seemed kinda funny to me.

"And I'm Wormon, Ryan's partner and advisor."

"What? No, you're not my advisor."

"So Ryan," I asked, "what are you doing out here?"

"Wormon and I came out here to do some training, and we've been gone from the city for a few days, we saw you guys in trouble on our way back and decided to- herk, blegh!" He and Wormon fell onto the ground face first.

"Oh god I think he's dead." They stirred a little.

"Fooooood…"

"Haven't eaten in daaaaays…" We stared for a little.

"And you didn't think to bring a Gate Disk?"

"No…"

"You're so lucky we brought one." I sighed and pulled out the one in my bag as the others grabbed the Digieggs.

I slept until noon the next day. After yesterday, I didn't care anymore, but we all got back together and tried to figure out what we should do differently in a similar situation that is, until…

"Isn't it obvious, we took on a challenge that we weren't strong enough for," said David he pointing to a sign, "And that's where I'm going, to become better, so I can beat Ryan and Wormon!"

"Tamer Tag Team Tournament?" We all seemed to like the idea.

"That I can understand," said Cassidy, "But beating Ryan? I get that he beat Musyamon and all but, he didn't seem that tough."

"It was a whole lot more badass if you were there."

"How would you know Gabumon, you were unconscious and I dragged you out of Musyamon's way?"

"I just faked being K.O.'d, much less likely to be the first target that way."

"How would you know?!" I face palmed really hard.

"Hey, Dad!" Somehow my brother picked out our dad from the crowd of people in the city making their commute. He stopped and came our way.

"Oh hey kids, watcha doing?" He and Coronamon pulled up seats at the food place we were at.

"We're thinking of signing up for the tournament," said David, "But there's something I've been meaning to ask, how are you able to get the Champion level and beyond?"

"Hmm. That's a toughie. Well, when you use your DNA charge, you charge up your own energy then focus it into the Digivice to allow Digivolution. With each passing level it requires more energy, though emotion, situation and a few other factors can come into play. But as you Digivolve further, and become stronger together it becomes easier."

"I think that makes sense. Hey uh, Dad?"

"Yes Alice?"

"What are you doing here aren't you and Mom supposed to be on a job?"

"Nah we took care of it, but your Mom's doing some shopping, and asked me to try and get a restraining order for the paparazzi."

"Is that even possible?"

"Apparently here it is. I gotta go, see you tonight, and be home by 6!" Our Dad walked off and David got straight back to business.

"So who's gonna team up with me?" We all looked away from him. "I can't be that bad?!"

"Maybe not skill-wise but still you gotta work on the whole ego thing…" Oh poor David…
