The rangers were busy fighting off some of the Mynomon.
"Emperor whip!" Ken said as he lashed his whip around striking them down.
"Gotsumon Hammer." Ross said as he slammed his hammer down knocking them off their feet.
"Digi-Blasters." Davis said as he and the other rangers finished them off. The whole area they were in went away to a virtual reality room.
"Great job rangers come back in." Gennai said over a speaker. They demorphed and went into the main room.
"You guys are getting great." Izzy said.
"With some of Zakkomon's monsters it's important to keep your strength up." Gennai said.
"Yeah Zakkomon better watch out." Ross said. Kari yanked his arm to her face. "Hey Kari what are you doing trying to hold my hand?" She was looking at his watch.
"Oh man is it that late my parents are going to kill me." Kari said as she and Gatomon ran out.
…
Zakkomon's Ship
"Master Zakkomon I believe I have just the minion to finish those rangers. Meet Atomicmon." Sabromon said. A monster covered in white metal all over his body with a power core in a case and red eyes came up.
"Sabromon told me you needed some help." Atomicmon said.
"What can he do?" Zakkomon said.
"This one is powerful. He holds the strength and power of an atomic bomb. He can destroy buildings into dust with just one blast." Sabromon said.
"Is that so?" Zakkomon said.
"Yes I can take out most of that planet in no time." Atomicmon said.
"I hope so." Zakkomon said.
…
The Kamiyas
Kari was sneaking into her apartment hoping not to get caught by her parents until the lights came on and knew she was in trouble.
"Kari." Mr. Kamiya said.
"Hi Mom and Dad." Kari said as she turned to see everyone, even Tai and the cat up.
"Where have you been young lady?" Mrs. Kamiya said.
"Nowhere." Kari said.
"You were nowhere for about 5 hours after school." Mr. Kamiya said.
"Hey what does it matter? She's here now." Tai said trying to defend her.
"You should have at least called that you were going to be late." Mr. Kamiya said.
"I want the truth now young lady." Mrs. Kamiya said.
"Careful with what you say." Gatomon said.
"I was…." Kari didn't know what to say. She knew she couldn't tell her parents she was a ranger, but she couldn't think of anything.
"Go to your room now. We'll talk about this in the morning." Mr. Kamiya said. She went into her room and Tai went with her.
"That did not go well." Tai said.
"How was I suppose to tell them I was training as a ranger?" Kari said.
"Kari things are never easy, but you better find out what to tell Mom and Dad or you'll be ground for a LONG time." Tai said. Meanwhile Kari's parents were talking about how she has been acting.
"You think maybe it has something to do with a boy? She spends a lot of time with that T.K. and Davis." Mrs. Kamiay said.
"It better not. I just hope she's around a good influence." Mr. Kamiya said.
"She usually is such a good girl. Why would she keep secrets from us?" Mrs. Kamiya said.
"Well I'm going to find out one way or the other." Mr. Kamiya said.
…..
The Computer Lab
"Are you almost done Yolei?" Davis said while she was working on the computer.
"Give me a break most of this stuff was trashed by Starosivemon they may be running slow." Yolei said. Then Kari came in not looking happy.
"Hey Kari what's that matter?" T.K. said.
"It's my parents. They grounded me." Kari said.
"Stop the presses! Kari Kamiya is grounded?" Ross said.
"All because you got home late?" Cody said.
"It's not just that. It's been happening a lot lately." Kari said. "After school they want me to come straight home. I wish I could tell them I was a ranger."
"What! Kari you can't do that." Ross said.
"Look who's talking. You were the one that they think it was a good idea to tell the parents about us." Gatomon said.
"Kari and T.K.'s parents already knew about you so why bother hiding?" Ross said. "This is different."
"So what are you going to do? What if we need your help?" Davis said.
"I'll think of something. I got to go or I'll get in even more trouble." Kari said and left.
…
Atomicmon
Atomicmon was down in the city.
"Time to turn this city into nothing but dust." Atomicmon said.
"Atomic Bomb." He through balls of energy at buildings and destroying them.
…
The Digidestine
They looked outside and saw that buildings were being destroyed.
"What's going on out there?" Davis said.
"Gennai there are explosions all over the city." Ross said in his D3
"I'm well aware. I've already contacted Ken and he's on his way. The rest of you better get going." Gennai said.
"We're on it." Davis said and they ran out.
"I'll contact Kari." Yolei said.
…..
The Kamiyas
"I'm home." Kari said as she entered her apartment.
"Great I made your favorites for dinner. Liver sticks." Mrs. Kamiya said.
"Oh great." Kari said sarcastically.
"Don't worry Dad brought up a backup source of pizza." Tai said.
"I'm home honey." Mr. Kamiya said walking with a pizza box hidden. Then Kari's D3 went off.
"Yeah." Kari said keeping herself covered.
"Kari we have an emergency going on downtown." Yolei said.
"I can't just leave. I'm grounded." Kari said.
"Well you better think of something. We need you." Yolei said. While her parents weren't looking she went out the front door and made a run for it.
"So Tai I brought you favorite." Mr. Kamiya said, but noticed Kari was missing. "Where's Kari I just saw her?"
"Maybe you were seeing things." Tai said.
"Her shoes are gone." Mrs. Kamiya said and they ran out.
"Oh no." Tai said and ran after them.
…..
Downtown
"This is easier than I thought." Atomicmon said.
"That's where you're wrong." Ken said as he jumped in and whipped at him.
"Fool." Atomicmon said as he pounded him hard.
"Ken hold on." Davis said as he and the other rangers except Kari arrived.
"So you're the other rangers. You've met your doom." Atomicmon said.
"Atomic Bomb." Atomicmon blasted all of them down.
"Whoa what power this guy has." T.K. said.
"It's unbelievable." Cody said.
"Where's Kari?" Ken said.
"Hopefully trying to escape her grounding." Yolei said.
"What?" Ken said.
"Time to perish rangers." Atomicmon said as he ran at them. He started fighting them and they tried to fight back, but it was hard to make a dent in his metal.
"Grab him guys." Davis said as they got a hold of him, but he shook them off and pounded them away.
…
Kari
Kari was running through the city trying to get to the fight.
"Kari stop!" Mr. Kamiya said as they ran after her.
"Gatomon you gotta create a distraction." Kari said.
"I'm on it." Gatomon said. She ran back and scratch at Mr. Kamiya's face.
"AW! You crazy cat." Mr. Kamiya said. When Kari was in the clear from her parents she stopped.
"Go, Go Digital." Kari said and morphed. She ran into the fight. "Hang on guys I'm here."
"Kari be careful this guy is powerful." Ross said.
"Back away from my friends." Kari said as she reached for her blaster and blasted him.
"Nice try." Atomicmon said as he ran at her. He grabbed her and tossed her down with a group of people, including the Kamiyas.
"Atomicmon wait there are innocent people here." Kari said.
"Ask me if I care." Atomicmon said and pounded her. Kari got up and kicked him, but he grabbed her and pounded her at least three times.
"Gatomon bow." Kari said as she tried to blast him, but he jumped over the blast.
"Atomic Bomb." Atomicmon blasted her down.
"Now watch this. Say goodbye pink ranger." Atomicmon said.
"Nuclear Core." He fired a powerful blast of energy from his core. Kari couldn't move or else innocent people would get hurt. She took the hit which caused a powerful explosion that knocked her down and the other rangers saw.
"NO!" Davis said. They all ran right by her. "Kari wake up say something." Davis shook her to wake her up.
"And now to destroy the city." Atomicmon said and took off.
"Guys he's getting away. Come on." Cody said as they went after him.
"Davis come on we'll have Gennai come and get her, but right now we need to stop him." Ross said as they got up and went after him. A little later Kari began to get up, but her visor was broken and her family saw her face.
"Kari?" Mr. Kamiya said.
"Kari!" Mrs. Kamiya said. Kari got up and felt her visor was broken.
"Kari I don't understand. You're a power ranger." Mr. Kamiya said.
"I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't." Kari said.
"Okay we need to get you help." Mrs. Kamiya said.
"No I need to help my friends." Kari said.
"Kari are you crazy this is dangers." Mr. Kamiya said.
"I'm sorry for lying to you, but I have to do this." Kari said as she took off.
"Kari wait!" Mr. Kamiya said as they went after her. Atomicmon had the other rangers knocked down.
"Now to finish you rangers for good." Atomicmon said, but was blasted. Everyone saw Kari running with her blaster out. "You impossible."
"Kari be careful." Davis said.
'I'm sorry for lying to you Mom and Dad, but I have to do this. I need to fight and I just hope you understand.' Kari thought. She stopped and her parents saw what was going on.
"Well this time pink ranger when I knock you down you stay down." Atomicmon said.
"That won't happen." Kari said. "Kazemon wind fan."
"Bring it ranger." Atomicmon said as they both ran in. Kari was able to slash at him with her fan and was able to push him back.
"Atomic Bomb." Atomicmon tossed his bombs, but Kari was able to toss them back.
"Wow look at her go. I've never seen Kari like this." Ross said.
"Time to finish this." Kari said.
"Wind Spirit Hurricane." The spirit of Kazemon appeared and created a powerful hurricane that destroyed him.
"Atomicmon is about to be more powerful." Zakkomon said. "By my power make my minion grow." Atomicmon rose again.
"Now I can destroy the whole Earth." Atomicmon said.
"Kari can you still go on?" Davis said.
"Yeah I'm fine." Kari said.
"We need the legendary zords." Davis said.
"Wormmon-Zord online." Ken said. Their zords came out and formed the megazords.
"You still can't beat me. I'm more powerful." Atomicmon said as he threw his bombs that knocked them down.
"He's still too powerful." Ken said.
"How are we going to stop him?" Cody said.
"Wait guys his core. It's the only thing not made of metal." Kari said.
"Kari's right that might be a weak spot." Yolei said.
"You take the lead on this Kari." Davis aid.
"Time to be destroyed." Atomicmon said.
"No you don't." Kari said.
"Leg Blast." Kari blasted the core and he was weakened.
"Our turn." Ken said as Stingmon struck him with his stinger.
"Legend Blade." Kari said as the blade was brought out and slashed at him.
"No! I'm beyond powerful." Atomicmon said and was destroyed.
"Way to go everyone." Ross said and Kari collapsed.
"Kari!" Davis said and checked on her.
"Is she okay?" Cody said.
"She's been through a lot." Ross said. Down on the ground Davis was carrying Kari on his back.
"Kari was great today." T.K. said.
"Yeah I never saw her fight like that." Yolei said. They stopped when they saw the Kamiyas.
"Is she okay?" Mr. Kamiya said.
"She's just sleeping." Davis said.
"All this time we thought something was going on, but our daughter is a ranger." Mrs. Kamiya said.
"Now that I know the truth I'm proud of her and I know she's in good hands." Mr. Kamiya said and she smiled.
"Hey guys look an ice cream truck." Ross said.
"Did someone say ice cream!?" Kari said as she woke up.
"You're awake!?" Davis said.
"Come on." T.K. said.
"Come on Davis move it." Kari said as they all ran after the truck with the Kamiyas smiling knowing their daughter was a hero.
