Chapter 3 – Impmon
げつ ふま
Flying through the desert, everyone was talking about where they might find their Digimon.
"Renamon's probably in the forest," Rika said.
"And I'll bet you Terriermon is n that one city," Henry added.
"Cyberdramon doesn't like to stay in one place for long, but he might be in the land with the clocks," said Ryo, looking around. "Hey, look! Beelzemon!"
Sure enough, riding his motorcycle below them was Beelzemon.
"Aren't you gonna even say hi to me?!" he yelled up.
"Wargrowlmon, take us down for a second!" Takato said, leaning over the side.
Shortly after landing, Beelzemon caught up to them.
"Well, aren't you guys a sight for sore eyes," he said, dismounting. "How did you get here, anyway?"
"We found a Digiportal," Kazu said. "Now we're going to find everyone else."
"Anyway, why don't you Dedigivolve and hop on," Kenta said, climbing back onto Wargrowlmon.
Beelzemon did just that and everyone was on their way once more.
After about another few minutes of flying, the group came across the dimensional stairs.
"Now what?" Kenta asked. "I know that the Sovereign are on the highest level, but isn't that weird city right below us?"
"That's true," Henry said.
"I want see Lopmon!" Suzy yelled, tears welling in her eyes.
"It's settled then," said Wargrowlmon, taking off. "We get Lopmon first."
As Wargrowlmon ascended the stairs, they all noticed that the next level was the forest.
"Renamon is probably on this level!" Rika said, her voice cracking. "Renamon! Renamon, where are you?"
They flew around for about twenty minutes, making a very wide arc around the stairs, yet there was still no sign of Renamon.
"Cheer up, Rika," Kazu said as they flew back to the stairs. "So she's not on this level. There are only five other levels. She has to be on one of them."
"Shut up, Kazu!" Takato said, punching him. Then he whispered, "Do you realize how long it will take to search through all five levels?"
After that, Kazu was quiet.
When everyone was almost to the stairs, they saw a flash of yellow followed by a large red blur.
"Rika! Watch out!" Renamon jumped and slammed into Wargrowlmon, veering him drastically off course. At the moment, a giant red beetle flew through the spot they were just in.
"Kuwagamon! A Virus type Champion level Digimon! His Scissor Claw can cut through anything!" Henry said as he scanned it with his Digivice.
Meanwhile, Rika was leaning over Renamon, who was obviously hurt long before she hit Wargrowlmon.
"Renamon!" She cried, worried about what had happened.
"Reunion later, fight now," Wargrowlmon said, standing up.
At that moment, the trees around them shook, revealing four more Kuwagamons.
"Hey, um, Renamon? What did you do?!" Ryo asked, staring nervously at the new arrivals, which shot forward, pincers wide.
