Thunder Crash
When he woke, he was blinded by light.
"Ugh, what's happening?" He groaned as he sat up.
"Tai! You're awake! Don't move and everything will be fine." A voice said, laced with worry. His eyesight was blurred from the light, but when his vision came back he resisted jumping to his feet. Orange electricity arched around him, striking around the concrete where he had collapsed. He noticed the other Neo and the others watching through their window.
He located the source of the sparks, his digivice, lying next to him. He slowly backed away from the device and scooped up Koromon into his arms, quickly making his way back into the house. "Koromon, do you know what's happening?"
"Sorry Tai, I haven't seen someone's Digivice trying to kill them before." The in-training squeaked.
"So are all of your days like this?" Neo asked as a spark hit their window.
"Not really. So how long was I out this time?"
"Not long, just under an hour."
"What happened since then?"
Neo and Rei filled him in on what they saw on the news. Tai reacted sourly when they told him of Ken's kidnapping and the Digidestined's defeat. Hideto was still watching the news for any more updates.
"Tai, it's not your fault." Koromon said, knowing that his partner's habit of beating himself up. "We were in no condition to fight."
"I – I know but…" The Bearer of Courage sighed. "Well I guess it wouldn't have helped them if they got electrocuted." Another spark hit the window. "I don't get what's wrong with this thing now?"
"Maybe it's all of the times that you hit it to get it to work?"
"Perhaps… Neo, can I borrow your phone? I want to see where everyone else is."
He agreed and handed Tai the phone before sitting at his desk to check the events online.
Rei went to the window and kept an eye on the malfunctioning digivice.
"Come on, pick up guys." Tai whispered to the phone. "Where are you?"
Suddenly a number went through. He could hear Mimi and the others on the line. Before he could speak, Mimi's irritated voice spoke into the phone. "Sorry," she said, "but we're being chased by a killer bear with a gun right now so you'll have to call another time."
"What?! Mimi wait!" Tai exclaimed before hearing the dial tone. "They're in trouble! Argh, where could they be?"
"Hey, Tai!" He heard Hideto exclaim. Tai rushed to the couch and saw that a giant Digimon had appeared nearby. In the pictures he saw a large brown bear.
It's him. A voice whispered to him. He's powerful, stronger than them right how.
"You're right, I have to go." Tai said.
Hideto looked up at him. "What?" He asked. "Who are you?" Tai rushed out the door and stood over his sparking digivice. Neo already heard the commotion and ordered Rei to stay inside. She scoffed and waited at the window until her brother wasn't looking.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Neo asked. Koromon hopped over to Tai.
Tai gave him a strange chuckle. "I don't know myself." He said as he picked up his digivice, causing a large flash of light.
An electronic voice whined out: DOWNLOAD COMPLETE.

Thank you for riding with us today. Please watch your step as you exit the train.
The Digidestined awkwardly stepped off of the train car. The shocked passengers watched them go, not too phased by a group of ten children suddenly appearing and exiting the car.
"What happened?" Mimi asked as they exited the station.
"I think that Gennai sent us all out of the Digital World." Izzy predicted. "That must mean that Callismon must be at least a Mega Level."
"Did anyone else see that black thing?" Davis asked.
"Yeah. It really gave him a power boost." Sora noted.
Leafmon shook with rage. "It was a Black Spore!" The Digimon exclaimed.
"What!" The others said in response.
"It must be because they have Ken!" Izzy hypothesized. "Perhaps they are using them as a catalytic enhancement for their data to … (sigh) … Maybe they are doing something like Orikawa did but are using it for a cheap energy boost instead."
"Oh." Most of the Digidestined said.
"It's going to be a matter of time before Callismon finds his way to the real world. We should be on our guard when he crosses over. By then we either need to find out who this Child of Victory or at least Tai to fight back."
"Wait! Azulongmon said that those things happened several Millennia ago," Davis pointed out, "Should we start our search in the museums?"
"He actually has a point…" Matt admitted.
"For once." Chibomon added.
"Hey!" Davis said indignantly.
"Hm." Izzy thought. "No, Azulongmon was telling a tale in Digital World years. The times only stabilized a few years ago, before that time moved faster in the Digital World. Much faster."
"You're right!" Kari exclaimed. "Millennia then could have been a year or two in our world!"
"Great! So we know he's alive." Tk said. "That's at least a start. What should we do now?"
"I'm going to call Tai." Kari said. "We need all the help we can get now." She flipped open her phone and found that it had short circuited because of the water from the earlier battle. "No! It's dead!"
The others checked their own phones and found that either they weren't working, or it had run out of batteries.
"I thought I charged this!" Davis moaned.
"We sort of used the cable to reach the peanut butter." Chibomon said sheepishly.
Mimi's phone was the only one that still worked and gave it to Kari to use.
- Hello the number you have called is not available at the moment. Please hang up and try again.
The Bearer of Light gave a groan of frustration. "Great! What do we do now?"
"We should start running." Armadillomon said suddenly. The Digidestined now noticed that the busy street had declined quickly. A large bear stood in the middle of the street sniffing the air, sorting through the various smells of the city.
"I second that notion!" Cody said as he grabbed Armadillomon in his arms and ran down the street, with the rest of the Digidestined following quickly.
While they ran, Mimi's phone started to ring. "Hello? … Why yes I would like a free ticket to this month's show."
The ringing alerted Callismon to their direction. He gave a mighty roar and lumbered in their direction.
"MIMI TURN IT OFF!" Everyone yelled.
"I'll have to call you back." She said as she shut the phone. Almost instantly the phone rang again. Irritated she picked it up. "Sorry but we're being chased by a killer bear with a gun right now so you'll have to call another time." She quickly closed it again, not hearing the voice on the other line going: "What!? Mimi Wait!" She focused on running with everyone else.
"You still have some energy?" Matt asked his partner.
"Of course!" Gabumon panted.
"Gabumon Digivolve to … Garurumon!"
The blue wolf picked up the older Digidestined by the collar and threw them up, catching them on his back. "Tk!" Patamon yelled to his partner.
"Alright!" The Bearer of Hope said, seeing the plan. "Digi-Armor – "
Callismon also saw that this prey was trying to get away using their faster Digimon. He's not letting them off that easily.
DEEP FOREST!
Callismon blasted a round into the ground, forcing the younger Digidestined to trip. "Tk!" Matt exclaimed, stopping Garurumon in front of a park.
Davis was the first to recover, quickly grabbing his D3. "Let's take him down!" Davis declared, his digivice shining.
"Chibomon digivolve to! DemiVeemon!
DemiVeemon digivolve to! Veemon!
Veemon digivolve to! ExVeemon!"
The blue dragon stood before the great bear. He gave a battlecry and punched him in the face. Callismon didn't even flinch. The bear swatted him away.
Callimon scoffed and aimed his gun. "Weak."
RODE-
"AGH!" Callismon kneed down on to the ground holding his head in pain.
"Now who's weak!" Davis cheered.
"Don't know my own strength." Exveemon said, staring at his fist.
The Digidestined took advantage of Callismon's pain and headed straight for the park.
Callismon shook off the pain, his calm, haughty demeanor shifted to one filled with rage and bloodlust. "Bastard!" The bear roared. "Your tricks won't save you now! I will find every last one of you!" Callismon charged after the others into the park.
Garurumon collapsed in exhaustion and degenerated down to Tsunomon. "Are you alright buddy?" Matt asked as he scooped up his friend.
"Yeah." He replied. "Just… sleepy… zzz."
From behind them, Veemon, who degenerated to avoid detection, and the rest of the younger group caught up to them.
"Izzy did you find anything out about him yet?" Mimi asked the redhead, who took the opportunity to fiddle with his analyzer.
The Bearer of Knowledge shook his head. "No, there's something weird about his data. For some reason, this guy's data is split. One half is Grizzlymon's coding, and the other is some weird code that's preventing me from getting any data from Callismon."
"Well, Exveemon can take him, so maybe it's an armor level or something." Davis said confidently. "Right?"
Veemon nodded confidently. "Of course!"
"No, what did Grizzlymon say when he changed?" Izzy asked. No one answered, because most of them were covering their ears at the time to block out his roars.
"I think I heard digivolve." Tk thought back.
"So it's at least an Ultimate." Yolie thought. "Hawkmon, do you and Gatomon have enough energy to DNA digivolve?"
"Yes we do!" He chirped.
"We can help too!" Patamon said as well.
They heard the bear's lumbering coming closer and closer, until they saw towering over the trees. "NOW!" Tk yelled.
"Patamon Digivolve to… Angemon!"
"Hawkmon Digivolve to… Aquilamon!"
"Armadillomon Digivolve to… Ankylomon!"
"Angemon … Ankylomon … DNA Digivolve to… Shakkoumon!"
"Aquilamon … Gatomon … DNA Digivolve to … Silphymon!"
The three digimon ambushed the bear, knocking him back a bit before firing all of their attacks on him.
…
"Did we get him?" Kari asked.
RODEO BULLET!
Callismon shook off the attacks as if nothing had happened and shot three rounds at the Digimon. The bullets streaked at the three Digimon and exploded on impact. They degenerated to weak levels and fell back across the park.
"Guys don't!" Matt yelled when the younger Digidestined charged to their partners' side.
"I've had enough of you lot!" Callismon yelled as he lunged forward and grabbed TK in one hand and Davis in the other. Both boys yelled as the bear tightened his grip on them. Their partners squirmed in their hands despite their exhaustion. "I'm going to finish what should have been done a long time ago!"
Suddenly dark clouds appeared in the sky where it was clear seconds ago. Thunder and rain fell down quickly. A portal appeared in the sky, with the sounds of an ocean rushing through and collecting with the sounds of the sudden downpour.
Callismon chucked Tk through the portal, and the two vanished into the darkness. "That's one." He prepared to toss Davis up as well. "And here's two!" Callismon roared, before getting blindsided by a streak of orange.
Davis was released and fell into the mud, Chibomon safe in his hands. Even though he was soaked in by the rain, he couldn't help but stay there for a couple moments longer. WarGreymon stood in the storm, water dripping down his armor, illuminated by each flash of lightning. On the dragon warrior's shoulder was Tai, hair slightly drooping due to the rain. He noticed that the portal had vanished into nothing.
Callismon was quickly on his feet. He growled at the sight of his new enemy, but when he glanced at Tai, he became more enraged than before.
"TAI!" Davis exclaimed in the mud.
"TAI!" Everyone else cried out when they identified the brunette.
"WARGREYMON!" Chibomon squeaked happily.
"YOU!" He roared with a voice rivaling the booming thunder.
RODEO BULLET!
