Davis and Veemon were finishing up their dinner as they slurped up some noodles from their ramen.

"Aw that hit the spot." Davis said.

"You sure can cook." Veemon said. Then Davis' cell phone went off. When he saw it was Kari he flipped it open.

"Hey babe." Davis said.

"Davis I got great news. They found a way to destroy the Dark Tribe's orb." Kari said. When Davis heard that he was so surprised that he fell out of his chair.

"Are you serious!?" Davis said.

"Yeah, Ryan is waiting for you at the computer lab. Everyone else went on ahead." Kari said. "I'll meet you there. See you soon Sweetie." After that she hung up and Davis got up.

"Come on Veemon. We got to get our butts over to the computer lab." Davis said.

…

The Computer Lab

Ryan and Hagurumon were inside and heard Davis and Veemon come running in.

"Ryan Kari just told me. Did the digimon in the village really find a way to destroy the orb?" Davis said.

"Yeah, but the Dark Tribe are going to do whatever it takes to stop us." Ryan said. "We cannot allow them to steal the orb."

"We were just waiting for you two so we can get going." Hagurumon said.

"Really we're the last to know." Davis complained. "Oh who cares at a time like this? Come one let's get going and destroy that orb."

"If you be kind enough to open the gate we can get going." Ryan said.

"Digi-Port Open!" Davis open the digital gate and they both went through.

…

Kogon Village

It was late at night with all the other digidestine except Kari and Gatomon on the top floor of the tower with the orb with Davis and Ryan running in.

"You guys finally made it." T.K. said.

"It's finally time. Let's get this thing smashed already." Davis said.

"Easy Davis." Ross said. "A little ritual has to be done so we can weaken its power so it will be a whole lot easier to destroy."

"It makes sense since Flamedramon couldn't destroy it." Ken said.

"Aw I don't think I can wait." Davis said.

"By the way Davis where's Kari?" Tai said.

"Kari? She left before us, I thought she be here already." Davis said.

"Hey here she comes." Mimi said as they saw Kari running in.

"Sorry I'm late guys." Kari said.

"What took you so long?" Matt said.

"Didn't you leave before us Kari, and where's Gatomon?" Veemon said.

"Oh she's up on the roof being a look out, and about being late I got lost on the way here." Kari said.

"It's really a straight path, you could see the tower when you came through the digital gate." Ross said.

"Doesn't matter you're here now." Tai said and she walked up to the orb.

"Anyway this is the orb we're protecting right? It's amazing." Kari said, but Ross had a feeling something was wrong. Then an explosion was heard outside. "What was that?"

"It has to be the Dark Tribe." Ryan said.

"So they came after all. What do we do?" Davis said.

"We need to protect the orb." Aquamon said.

"Kari and I will stay up here and protect it. The rest of you split up into teams of three and cover each side of the tower." Ross said.

"But I can't form Silphymon without Kari and Gatomon." Yolei said.

"I'm sure Mimi and Sora can help keep you cover." Ross said.

"Alright let's get going guys." Davis said as they all ran out the door. When they reached bottom they each split up and took each side of the tower. The groups were T.K., Cody, and Joe. Tai, Matt, and Izzy. Sora, Mimi, and Yolei. Ryan, Ken, and Davis. When Ryan, Ken, and Davis checked the west side they came faced with four Roachmon.

"There you are you lousy Dark Tribe mates." Veemon said.

"We better take care of them fast or they'll infiltrate the tower." Ryan said and they had their digivices ready.

"Veemon digivolve to….Exveemon"

"Wormmon digivolve to…Stingmon"

"Hagurumon digivolve to….Guardromon"

"Exveemon. Stingmon DNA digivolve to….Paildramon"

"Guardromon digivolve to….Andromon."

Two Roachmon kicked Andromon's chest, but they failed as he stood his ground and he repelled them. Paildramon tried to use his stingers on the other two. Andromon grabbed the two and banged them against each other.

"Round and round we go." Andromon said as he tossed them and hit the other Roachmon.

"Desperado Blaster."

"Gatling Attack."

They both launched their attacks and blasted all four of the Roachmon. On the east side Shakkoumon and Zudomon were busy fighting four more. Zudomon got a hold of them and tossed them in the air.

"Vulcan's Hammer."

"Justice Beam."

Both of them blasted the Roachmon in the air.

"Way to go you guys." Cody said.

"Who needs bug spray when we got you?" T.K. said.

"Well actually bug spray is very helpful." Joe said.

"I was kidding Joe." T.K. said. Over on the south side Lillymon, Garudamon, and Aquailamon fought four more of the Roachmon. The Roachmon were tossing garbage, but the girls moved out of the way.

"I've heard of fighting dirty, but this is ridiculous." Sora said as they dodged more garbage.

"That's it. Lillymon please squish them!" Mimi screamed.

"You got it." Lillymon said.

"Flower Cannon."

Lillymon fired her energy blast knocking down one of the Roachmon.

"Aquailamon take them down." Yolei said.

"Let's show them why birds are the bugs' predator Garudamon." Aquailamon said.

"Blast Rings."

"Wing Blade."

Both of them blasted the other Roachmon. On the north side four Roachmon were running in a panic from Megakabuterimon, Metalgreymon, and Weregarurumon

"Look at the roaches running away." Matt said.

"Usually they just keep coming." Izzy said.

"Alright guys let them have it, we won't let them get away." Tai said.

"Giga Blaster."

"Horn Buster."

"Wolf Claw."

The combined attacks caused a giant explosion. After they were done they all regrouped at the entrance.

"Don't tell me these guys had enough already." Davis said.

"I think we got them all." Yolei said.

"Something's wrong. It's too early for them to be giving up." Ryan said.

"True and there didn't seem to be that many." Andromon said.

"No we each faced four. What's going on?" Cody said. Then there was an explosion in the tower and part of it caught on fire.

"Guys the tower!" Mimi said.

"Now I get it. The battle out here was just to distract us." Ryan said.

"Oh man Ross and Kari are still up there. If we don't do something they're in trouble." Davis said.

"I know, but there's another problem." Cody said as he pointed behind them and an army of Roachmon were heading their way.

"Eww so many roaches." Mimi said.

"The rest of you hold them off. Davis, Ken we're going in follow me." Ryan said as he led the way and the others followed.

"Guys be careful." Tai said.

"Don't you want to go save your sister?" Sora said.

"Ross is still with her and with digimon like that she'll be fine. At least I hope." Tai said. Inside the tower Davis and the others made it and were racing through the flames.

"The fire has already reached so high." Ryan said.

"We better get going. Ross and Kari are probably trapped at the top." Ken said.

"Let's get going." Davis said as they started to move through the building until they came across the last set of stairs. "Ross, Kari just hold on."

"Wait do you hear voices?" Andromon said.

"What are you talking about?" Ryan said.

"Just be quiet for a minute." Paildramon said and started listening.

"We're tired of these charades. Just show who you are."

"What are you talking about we can't fight now. It be what they want."

"Is that so?"

"That sounds like Kari and Ross."

"Be careful on this one." Ryan said. Up on the top floor Crazillamon and Ross were facing Kari. Crazillamon charged in at her, but she jumped out of the way.

"Hahahah how did you know I wasn't your friend?" Kari said.

"Ever since I changed back I've been able to tell who's a friend." Ross said. "Besides you can tell by looking at a person."

"This is why I hate all you mortals with your bonds of friendship." Kari said. "Of course there are those who wouldn't know the difference."

"Davis." Ross said knowing who she was talking about.

"Guys are you okay?" Davis said as he and the others except Paildramon ran up to them.

"Davis help me, he's an imposter and attacked me." Kari said acting scared.

"Are you serious?" Davis said.

"We did attack her." Crazillamon said.

"But she's the imposter." Ross said.

"Don't be fooled Davis." Kari said, but held a burning piece of wood behind his back. However Paildramon came out of hiding and launched a cable knocking it out of her hands and they regrouped with Ross.

"See what happens when you're careful." Ryan said.

"How dare you mess with my emotions." Davis said with anger.

"How dare you mess with my plans." Kari said.

"It's going to take more than a phony image to stop us." Ken said.

"Phony? Are you sure? This body maybe real, I could be controlling it from afar." Kari said.

"Don't bother with the lies. My systems can tell you're lying." Andromon said.

"Oh then I guess there's no need for this." Kari said. Then wings came out of her back and became Bumblelistmon.

"You're that bug!" Davis said all surprised.

"Yes now I'm taking that orb." Bumblelistmon said.

"So this was their angle." Ken said.

"But then where's the real Kari?" Paildramon said.

"Worry about that later, here she comes." Crazillamon said as they were ready to fight.

"We should have done this from the beginning. Like I said I'm going to slice you up eight different ways." Bumblelistmon said. She flew in with her stinger out, but they moved out of the way.

"Keep her away from the orb." Andromon said as he tackled her away. Bumblelistmon spun around shaking him off. Paildramon brought out his stinger, but Bumblelistmon countered with her own stinger. Crazillamon came from behind her and kicked her into the flames.

"Careful this tower can take much more." Ryan said. Then Bumblelistmon emerged from the flames.

"It's going to take more than some fire to stop me." Bumblelistmon said.

"Drill Sting."

She spun her stinger around at Crazillamon, but he crossed his swords and was able to block her. Andromon tried to kick her in the face, but Bumblelistmon pulled back. Paildramon jumped above her, but when he came down she back flipped and the stinger hit him.

"Attack her from all ends." Andromon said. All three of them charged in at her, but she flew up and they crashed into each other.

"Now I have you." Bumblelistmon said.

"Swarm Storm."

She fired her lasers and all three of them were getting shocked and they couldn't getaway.

"Now what do we do?" Ken said.

"Davis you fought her before." Ryan said.

"Yeah, but even then she was powerful." Davis said.

"Wait a minute." Ross said. "Guys pull out and go for the wings. If she can't fly it makes it easier to hit."

"Easier said than done. We can't move." Paildramon said.

"Leave it to me. If I can just get my swords up." Crazillamon said as he crossed his swords and try to reflect the laser.

"What are you doing?" Bumblelistmon said. Crazillamon reflected a laser and Bumblelistmon got blasted. The digimon got free and Crazillamon charged at her and sliced her wings right off. "No my wings!"

"Desperado Blaster."

"Lightning Blade."

"Crazy Sword."

All three of them launched their attacks and blasted her. She was brought down and barely could get up.

"How….How could I lose?" Bumblelistmon said.

"Where's the real Kari and Gatomon? Tell me!" Davis roared.

"Those girls. By now I suspect their no longer in this world." Bumblelistmon said.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Paildramon said.

"Answer us. You're finished either way." Crazillamon said.

"Why are you so concerned about those two?" Bumblelistmon said.

"Kari and Gatomon are important to us. Kari is important to me more than anything. Now where are they!?" Davis shouted.

"Alright. Those two are probably, most likely…..NOW!" Bumblelistmon shouted. They turned around and saw Ibishiomon with the orb.

"Victory is at last ours." Ibishiomon said as he jumped out with the orb. Ross turned back to Bumblelistmon.

"What an evil witch." Ross said.

"Hey call him back right now." Ryan said.

"Sorry, but this is my choice." Bumblelistmon said and Crazillamon figured out what she was doing.

"Quick get out of the building." Crazillamon said as they grabbed their partners and headed for the wall.

"I'm taking you all along WITH ME!" Bumblelistmon shouted and exploded. They managed to get out just before the tower collapsed. They regrouped with the others and told what happened.

"She was determined to take us with her." Ryan said.

"Blast it." Davis said and ran off.

"Hey where are you going?" Ross said.

"Where do you think? I have to save Kari." Davis said.

"I'm with you." Tai said.

"Hold on guys. We should head back to the real world." Ryan said.

"What!? Kari could need our help." Davis said.

"Slow down." Ross said. "We don't even know which world Kari is in. We can't do anything until we know for sure where she is." Davis was still getting angry so Ross placed his hand on his shoulder. "I'm not asking you to abandon Kari. I'm asking you to wait for her. We'll find her, I promise."

"Blast it all." Davis said with even more anger.
