AN: I Did a google search. Apparently there was one XrosWars fanfic before this one. /Shrug. Any who, I think this'll be the first AU/Series re-write around. Maybe. If anyone has any proof otherwise, just let me know. Also, it seems that this site has finally added the character listings for Xros Wars! So, those have been added for this chapter! In other news, the "WE ARE XROS HEART" single CD came out yesterday/today (As of writing this, the 29th of September) and the songs in it are awesome! *grin* (music) Don-don-dondoko Ganbare yo... (/music) ~DTC

CHAPTER TWO_ _ _|

I'd like to begin this re-release of our popular Historical series by noting that the amendments to this volume (Chapters Forty-Three and onwards) are the overall generalized events that occurred, and are not the FULL Historical representation of the Battles fought, emotions felt, and lives lived during this time frame.

If you are interrested in the actual, if allbeit slightly embellished, history, I'll be glad to dirrect you to the latest installments to the popular series that you, by now, are no doubt familiar with. With that in mind, I'd also like to point out that I've been asked by the publishers of this History to leave out certain events in this representation, chiefly the physical and romantic relationships of the involved parties, that I've left intact in the full, expanded versions due to looser restrictions by those publishers involved.

Now then, I'm sure that will probably be deleted out, or I'll be asked to re-write this by my publishers, but, you can't blame a girl for trying, right?

Dorulumon! Return the Attack!

GREEN ZONE_ _ _|

Zenjirou Tsurugi watched in horror as the eight headed, snake hovered over them, an evil laugh in it's throat. How, oh How Had it come to this? Reduced to become some demonic snake's breakfast?

"Hehaha..." The Orochi bared it's fangs. "Snack time...!"

"kyaaaa!" The girl screamed, and Zenjirou suddenly wished he had his Kendo stick, or, maybe one of those fancy "Cross Roader" things that Taiki had.

Speaking of Taiki, that was the exact reason he was here right now, (well, not the reason they were about to be eaten, but close enough!) Where was that guy anyways? But, that was second in order of importance. How had he ended up here, his and a (Very cute) girl's back pinned to a wall, about to be eaten by a snake?

Then, the reason why this was happening came flying at Zenjirou like a ton of bricks as the snake launched one of it's heads at them.

THE DAY BEFORE_ _ _|

The group, consisting of the Xros Heart army and their 'tag alongs', was marching back towards a village, the Village of Smiles to be exact.

"Sometime Before I was born, the Digital world was split into several different zones." Akari Hinomoto, one of two Generals for Xros Heart, was explaining to two of the three "Tag alongs", Tsurugi Zenjirou and Kudo Taiki. "For a short time, there was chaos as everyone tried to figure out what was going on."

The lead Starmon cut in suddenly. "It was more 'goolish hell' then 'chaos', if you ask me."

Akari continued on regardless. "Then, one group began to take precedent over the others."

Shoutmon- this time- was the one to interrupt. "The Bagura Army." The disgust in his voice was evident. "I really hate those guys!"

"Yeah." Akari nodded solomonly. "The Bagura Empire was born from the ashes, bringing down destruction and oppression to countless zones."

Taiki, from Ballistamon's (the third 'tag along') right shoulder, frowned. "Who is this 'Bagura' anyways?"

"Nobody knows for sure." Dorulumon (from within the orange Xros Loader in Taiki's hand) started. "All that is known is that he summoned three generals to lead his army, and take over the Digital World."

Taiki's eyes narrowed. "What about the Generals?"

Shoutmon shrugged. "We've never met one personally, but each of the three have sent some sort of sub-general lackey to take over the zone, each one said a different name."

"Blastmon, Lilithmon, Tactimon." Akari listed them off from memory. "Tactimon is the one who sent MadLeomon."

Dorulumon growled from within the Digivice. "I sware, when I get my paws on him..." he was vague as to which 'Mon the threat was directed towards.

Zenjirou, on Ballistamon's right shoulder, opened one of his eyes. "As nice as this history lesson is, when do we get to the part about returning to the Human world?"

That stopped all movement at all.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" The kendo student blinked.

Slowly, but surely, a slight chuckle began to rise up out of one of the two Generals.

"Eh? Is something funny?" The boy frowned.

Shoutmon turned toward Akari, tears brimming in his eyes. "Hahah! Did you hear that? He actually thinks there's a way back!"

Akari, however, didn't find the humor in that. "Shouto." She summoned her microphone stand from thin air, making Zenjirou and Taiki's eyes widen. "Remember what I said the last time we met someone who fell from the sky?"

Shoutmon's laughter stopped abruptly. "Oh..."

"ROWDY ROCKER!"

A rather startled yelp echoed across the green plains as the girl began to chase the dragon in circles.

Lopmon (resting on Ballistamon's head) just sighed.

Zenjirou frowned. "What did she mean by that?"

A Red Pickmon jumped up next to Lopmon. "She means that there's no way back to the Human World."

Taiki blinked. "Really? Why's that?"

"The event that shattered the Digital World..." Lopmon started. "It also destroyed the gateway that lead to the Human world."

ELSEWHERE_ _ _|

There was an explosion.

"PLASMA CANON!"

Then there was a scream.

"BLASTER TAIL!"

Then, there was death.

The remaining part of the advancing Bagura army could only watch in horror as Kiriha Aonuma and his Gureimon and MailBirdramon decimated their ranks.

The bond haired boy smirked as he pulled out his Blue Xros Loader. "Let's finish this, MailBirdramon, Gureimon."

The destruction loving blueish-grey Dinosaur grinned, barring his teeth. "Yeaaah!"

The cyber-bird closed his eyes. "Yes, Let's."

"Digi...XROS!"

There was a flash, and then there was killing, on an overly massive scale.

Actually, one could argue that it was 'Over'kill, But, really, is there such a thing as "overkill" when it comes to war?

On a nearby hilltop, Amano, Nene watched with a glint in her eyes as the Blue Flare army pushed back yet another attempt on the Green Zone. "Blue, what shall we do with you?"

SOME TIME LATER_ _ _| JUST OUTSIDE THE VILLAGE OF SMILES_ _ _|

Taiki whistled as he leaned over the cliff face to see the village. "That's amazing."

"I've got to agree on that." Zenjirou was staring at the sight as well.

"Yup, that's our home." Akari smiled. "The Village of Smiles."

"Sure, a Straggler here and there may have gotten through from Bagura's army." Shoutmon grinned as well. "But we took care of them as soon as you could say-!"

"Pteramon?" Ballistamon pointed up suddenly.

Sure enough, up in the sky was a Pteramon bomber, about ready to launch it's payload onto the helpless village.

"Man! Another Straggler!" Shoutmon growled.

"Shouto, Ballistamon." Akari ordered, then, before anyone could comment on the small call out, the three were jumping off the cliff towards the village, trying to reach it before the Pteramon.

Dorulumon growled from inside the Xros Loader. "Impatient, aren't they?"

Starmon shrugged. "Our Generals are very protective of our home."

"So why aren't you following them?" Taiki asked the remaining team members, slightly curious.

Lopmon, leaning up against a rock, laughed. "There's not a lot that Akari doesn't know how to handle. If she thinks Shouto and Ballistamon are enough, they're enough."

"Ah." Taiki nodded. "I see."

Zenjirou frowned. Was it just him, or was everyone in this place absolutely crazy?

THE VILLAGE OF SMILES_ _ _|

Pteramon grinned as he prepared to bomb the village to the ground. His fellow platoon members may have been killed by the army, but he would have his revenge! "And now..."

Pteramon didn't have a chance to finish as dual cries of "SOUL CRUSHER!" and a spiraling twister of fire came up from the center of the village. Eyes widening in shock, Pteramon had the dumbest luck of having the attack miss him by a good twelve inches.

"He's too high up!" Shoutmon growled. "We can't reach him!"

Pteramon laughed. "Well! Looks Like today's my lucky Day!" With that, he dove towards the heart of the village, and let loose a short burst of missiles. "SIDE WINDER!"

It seemed that having bad aim was in the air today, as, somehow, all the missiles avoided hitting any buildings, and instead set alight a rather large bonfire.

"Wh...What?" Shoutmon and Pteramon had similar thoughts.

Then...

"HEAVY SPEAKER!"

...A bombardment of sonic waves came from the ground, sending Pteramon's internal sensors and guidance systems into complete chaos.

Akari looked over at Ballistamon and grinned, an idea already formed in her head. "Shouto! Use Ballistamon's Horn as a catapult!"

"Eh?" Shoutmon blinked, confused for a moment, then grinned as he realized what she wanted. "Right! Gotcha!"

Before Pteramon could realize what was going on, Shoutmon was flying towards him mic-stand in hand, with a flaming musical note at the end of the staff.

"Back to the Dark Zone with you!" The mic stand swung through the air. "ROCK DAMASHI!"

And Pteramon was no-more.

All the while, a Coelamon watched them from it's partially sunken state in the ground. "Not the targets." it thought to itself.

EDGE OF THE VILLAGE_ _ _|

Zenjirou sighed as he finally reached the village. "I really hate hiking down cliffs." he grumbled.

Taiki shrugged. "Well, after riding on Ballistamon for as long as we were, it's doing us good."

"Why are you acting like this is an everyday occurrence to you anyways?" Zenjirou narrowed his eyes at the goggle wearing boy. "I mean, I really hope you don't get dragged into other worlds every day when I'm not looking."

Taiki shrugged. "You know what my mom does, right?"

"Uh...She's a novelist, right?"

Lopmon didn't understand what this all ment, but she was interested to see where this was going.

"Yup." Taiki nodded. "Remember what it is she writes?"

Zenjirou frowned. "Some light novel series, I think."

"Right." Taiki nodded again. "And what's the name of that series?"

Zenjirou shrugged. "I'm not really into those kinds of things. Why were we talking about this again?"

Taiki sighed in exasperation. "Never mind."

All the while, a small creature watched them from it's spot hidden in the ground, It's eyes narrowed upon Lopmon. "Target sighted!"

It began to rise up out of the ground to strike when suddenly...

"KYU!"

...A high pitched, nearly blindingly pink furball of energy launched out of the nearby bushes, plowing through the Coelamon, and dragging it into the bushes on the other side. A second later, a small burst of data floated out of the bushes.

Inside the Orange Xros Loader, Dorulumon's ears twitched at the sound. "Did anyone hear something just now?" he asked.

Lopmon was the only one to reply. "Just a bird."

"Eh? You've got birds here?" Zenjirou blinked. "Real birds? Nothing ending in 'mon'?"

The red Pickmon jumped up onto his head. "What'd you expect? Everything here to be a monster out to get you?"

"Not really, but..."

"Well! That's what it is! Even the Birds have it out for us!" the Pickmon continued on. "Every single day I have to deal with that same stupid black bird! It keeps eating all of the tomatoes from my garden then it gives them back every third Monday of every month containing an 'R'!"

"Relax! He's joking!" Lopmon quickly stated to ease the confused looks on the human's faces; then, as discreetly as possible, turned to one of the silver Pickmonz. "Please tell me he's joking."

"I wish I could say he was." The Pickmon replied, not saying more then that.

BAGURA EMPIRE HEAD QUARTERS_ _ _| UNKNOWN ZONE_ _ _|

MadLeomon was sobbing as he exited the 'debriefing' room, which took it's name literally in more ways then one. (Which technically shouldn't even be possible.) "It...It was horrible! The horror...! The Horror...!" and with that, A Devimon kicked the lion out of General's meeting chamber.

Tactimon walked out of the room next, a grim smile hidden by his helmet. "I wasn't expecting this." he thought to himself.

Lilithmon sat up from her chair, and smiled at her fellow general. "How'd it go, tactician?"

"Yeah?" Blastmon grinned from his spot in the middle of the chamber. "What'd ya find out, Tac-chan?"

Tactimon looked over his fellow generals for a moment, then said the two words that drove fear and terror into what little hearts they had. "Xros Heart."

Lilithmon gulped, eyes wide; and Blastmon lost his balance for a few moments, nearly rolling onto his back in shock.

"X...Xros Heart?" Lilithmon asked, hoping her ears had deceived her. "Y...You're sure?"

"Tac-chan..." Blastmon's usually powerfull voice was quivering. "Didn't we destroy their Xros Loader?"

"It appears." Tactimon started. "That what we destroyed was a decoy. A fake." his eyes narrowed under his helmet. "The Red Xros Loader has been passed to Hinomoto's daughter, and his un-canny luck has followed it to her."

This was not news any of them wanted to hear; however, their un-seen visitor, Ba'almon, continued to watch them, un-fazed by the news.

VILAGE OF SMILES_ _ _| GREEN ZONE_ _ _|

Zenjirou cautiously watched his feet as he and Taiki were led up a spiraling staircase to meet the leader of this village. All he had gotten out of the Starmon brigade and the bunny named Lopmon was that somehow travel to and from the digital world was mostly one way, and even then, travel was isolated to un-related incidents.

He had to know if there was any truth to the matter, and that was why he was accompanying Taiki to the top of this structure.

"We're here." Akari said as they reached the top floor. "Jijimon's personal chambers."

The room was massively round, roofed over with a glass dome, and nearly half filled with various plants, bookshelf's, and an occasional desk or two.

"Wow..." the words slipped out of his mouth before he realized it.

"Yeah, we had the same reaction too." Shoutmon grinned.

In the center of the room was Jijimon, watching them curiously through his hidden eyes. "Akari, Shouto, so this is the General you told me about." He said 'General' with a glance towards Taiki.

"Yeah." Akari nodded. "This is him." Zenjirou coughed, and she hastily added. "And a friend of his who fell through with him."

Shoutmon barely repressed a giggle. 'And another one gets abbreviated off!'

Taiki took a step forward. "I'm Kudo, Taiki." he motioned towards Zenjirou. "This is Tsurugi, Zenjirou."

"Taiki, Zenjirou." Jijimon nodded in turn. "A pleasure to meet you."

Zenjirou then proceeded to tune out the remaining conversation up to the point where they were asked to sit down, his attention instead drawn upwards, towards what appeared to be a shimmering fragment of glass in the sky, only barely just now showing through the setting sunlight.

"I assume you have many questions." Jijimon started. "And I'm sure that many of them have not been answered." Taiki nodded. "So, if any of you would like to go first?"

"How do I go home?" Zenjirou started first, causing Akari to send a death glare in his direction. "I mean, I was told there isn't any way back, but I'd just like to know."

Taiki then decided to add onto that. "While I plan on staying until I'm of no help anymore, I would like to know as well." Zenjirou, this time, was the one to send a death glare.

"I see." Jijimon nodded. "Well, that is both an easy and a hard question to answer." With that, he began his tale. "Years ago, travel between the worlds was as easy as taking a step, due to the existence of gateways; but when the Digital world shattered into these Zones..." He sighed and stared up at the sky. "Many things changed that day."

FLASH BACK_ _ _|

"There was an item, known as the Code Crown. It was a power-full artifact, and, in it's original form, could be used for anything it's owner desired."

Groups of humans and Digimon bowed before a glowing artifact before them: The Code Crown.

"One of the very things the Code Crown could do was constantly maintain the gateway between the Digital World and the Human World. But, this was unknown at the time before it's discovery."

A humanoid shape breaks through a bricked up wall, revealing the artifact of power.

"When the Code Crown's power was figured out, many sought to control it. One such person was Baguramon, head of the Bagura Empire."

Shots of the "Gunmon"'s weapons sounded out as the Empire made it's way across the plains of an unknown field.

"Many who live today were not alive then to see the terrible bloodshed that occurred during those days, and those that are prefer to forget."

A Gotsumon hit the ground, seconds before his data scattered, and a massive, black and red dragon smirked.

"The war was so destructive, that it was decided that if the Code Crown could not be held by the right hands, then it must be destroyed."

A human and his Digimon companion both raised their hammers, and brought them down on the Code Crown.

"The results were seen immediately."

The Code Crown Shattered into numerous glowing shards of data, which then flew off to different corners of the Digital world, not seconds before the entire world shook violently.

"There was a short period where nothing but earthquakes rocked the landscape, and then, all was quiet. Not a gun was fired, not a person died."

A group of humas and Digimon stared up at the sky, drastically changed from what they once knew.

"Then it was discovered that the gateways were gone as well. All contact with the Human world was lost, and all those humans that remained in the Digital World were trapped, forever."

A small group of explorers stood before what appeared to be the end of the world. And that it was. For their small chunk of the Digital World continued on no further.

"The world, as best as it could, began to rebuild. Villages were brought back up to their former glory, governments and empires were formed only to help with the re-building- Everything was in harmony."

END FLASH BACK_ _ _|

"But, that was almost twenty years ago." Jijimon finished. "Those who fell through a crack in the world were either lucky enough to land in a new world, or they didn't land at all."

"So, there is no way back?" Zenjirou sighed, and resigned himself to his fate.

"Well, I didn't say that, exactly." Jijimon sniffed.

Everyone looked up, one thought on their minds: "What?"

"You see, the way that you arrived may mean that the Code Crown has been restored to some degree." Jijimon started. "And that 'some degree' may be a nearly completed Code Crown."

"Bagura." Akari frowned.

"Exactly." Jijimon nodded. "While Bagura's goal is unknown, it involves the Code Crown heavily." he paused. "The very fact that you arrived in the middle of a fight with the Bagura Army means that they may be the very cause of the warp."

No-one had anything to say to that.

"Well, then, moving on?" Jijimon asked. "Who's next?"

Shoutmon looked around the group as nobody said anything. He groaned. "Jeeze! I think you just told us everything we need to know already!"

Jijimon chuckled.

UNKNOWN ZONE_ _ _| BAGURA PALLACE_ _ _|

Out of the massive chamber lock doors came an army of Minotarumon, Rhinomon, Troopmon (What Shoutmon had dubbed "Gunmon"), several Pteramon, and a rather large cage. MadLeomon grinned from his perch ontop of one of the Pteramon. Soon, Soon those bratty kids would be soundly defeated! Defeated and eaten by Orochimon...!

GREEN ZONE_ _ _| ELSEWHERE_ _ _|

Kiriha looked up as something- what seemed to be a yellow blur- raced across the night sky. "What was that?"

"Hmm, I do wonder." Came the voice of Nene from behind him.

Kiriha turned suddenly. "You're like a ninja, they way you sneak up on me like that."

"No, A Ninja would never reveal themselves." The girl closed her violet eyes. "Not unless they had no other choice." She opened her eyes slightly. "And I have plenty of choices." The small, green box shaped creature in her arms stared at him.

'A Monimon? Where did she...?' Kiriha frowned slightly. In all of their past meetings, the girl never had the creature with her. Why now? "So, what do you want?"

"I thought you should know." She turned back towards the trees she had came from. "The Bagura Army is preparing another attack on this Zone."

"Why are you telling me this?" Kiriha narrowed his eyes.

Her short, but sweet laugh was his only reply as she vanished once more into the night.

'There's something not quite right about that girl.' Kiriha frowned more.

THE VILLAGE OF SMILES_ _ _|

The massive bonfire started by Pteramon's short lived attack was not going in vain, as a massive, impromptu Festival was held.

While Taiki had decided to stay behind with Jijimon to learn more about the world they were in, Akari and Shoutmon had left to go enjoy the food and festivities. Zenjirou ("Waiting around in a cold room when there's a warm fire down below is a waste of energy!") decided to go after them.

But, despite all the dancing and cheering and even all of the music (provided by a few Dondokomon), Zenjirou just couldn't find anything to enjoy about the festival. Not even the random juggling act Shoutmon had began was holding his attention (Although it really should have. Ten Pickmon plus five small loaves of bread was impressive). No, not even the (very cute) Lilymon dancers were catching his attention.

So, Zenjirou wandered the (mostly) quiet village, his only company being the strange glow in the sky. He sighed. Some day this had been: going to challenge his 'eternal rival' and ending up dragged into a whole new world.

"Man, there'd better be something to get out of all of this." he grumbled and kicked a rock that was in his way.

There was a startled yelp a second later.

Zenjirou froze as a girl (looking like a Lillymon, but without the silly hat, and with a less organic looking dress, made of green cloth instead of pink flower petals) sat up from where the rock had landed, holding said rock in her hand. She turned towards him, and her eyes narrowed.

"Did you throw this?" She asked, holding up the rock.

"Ah... I actually kicked it..." And he had no idea why he said that, she looked about ready to throw the rock back at him. "I didn't mean to hit you, sorry!" he held up his hands in defence.

She looked at him curriously for a minute, then let the rock fall to the ground with a dull thud as she crossed her arms. "So, why are you out here and not with everyone else?"

Something inside made him say "I could ask you the same thing."

They stood there for a few more moments, neither saying a thing, then the girl smiled.

"Allright, fair enough." She held out a hand. "I'm Lillymon, but you can call me Lila." she smiled slightly

Zenjirou held out his hand as well. "Tsurugi, Zenjirou."

"Nice to meet you 'Tsurugi, Zenjirou'."

PRESENT DAY_ _ _|

That brought him back to the here and now. Lila and he had gone off to the edge of the nearby Forrest just to watch the stars, talk about what difficulties their lives had suddenly thrown towards them, and...

Well, what else they did during the night wasn't important right now. What was was that They were about to be eaten by a giant eight headed snake that constantly said "orochi!"

"Heheh..." Orochimon licked his lips. "Snack time!"

"Kyaaaa!" Lila screamed.

Well, if that didn't wake up the village to tell them that something was amiss, nothing would.

With that as his cue, Orochimon launched his lead head towards them. "OROCHIII!"

Up on his Pteramon above them MadLeomon laughed. "Green Zone shall me MINE!"

Orochimon's head hit the ground with a "SMASH", and a thick cloud of dust wafted up into the air.

MadLeomon began to laugh even more. "HAHAHAAAAA! Green Zone Is Finished!"

Then, as the smoke began to clear, MadLeomon's laughter caught up in his throat.

"ARM BUNKER!" Ballistamon X2 was pinning Orochimon's lead head down to the ground, not eleven inches away from Zenjirou and Lila.

"N...NANI!" MadLeomon's glowing red eyes were bulging out of their sockets.

Then, launching up over the cliff face were two forms, Turuiemon X2 and...

"XROS FIRE CUTTER!"

"DRILL BUSTER!"

Dorulumon!

The orange and white wolf's golden drill barrage knocked MadLeomon down into the Forrest floor as Turuimon X2's blades cut through the Pteramon's wings, scattering his data instantly.

Zenjirou looked upon the sight before him in awe, a Wolf Fighting a Lion; a mecha fighting a hydra-snake; A girl that looked like a fusion between Akari and Lopmon running to help the mech and-

"Lila! Zenjirou!" Turuiemon X2 scolded them. "Are you both idiots or something!" And there was Akari's voice.

Zenjirou winced. "Ah...Well..."

Just then, a rope consisting of several dozen Pickmon (with the red one on top) fell down infront of their faces.

"Oi! Zenjirou!" Taiki called from above, he and Starmon holding onto a DigiXros-ed rope of Pickmon.

The Kendo student looked up, never so glad to see those green tinted goggles in all of his life. "Taiki!"

"Climb On!" Starmon called out. "We'll pull you up!"

"Right!" Lila nodded.

"Go!" Turuiemon X2 ordered before leaping over to help Ballistamon X2 as well.

MadLeomon roared and threw a punch at Dorulumon, who evaded with ease.

"Your tricks won't work on me again, you damn dirty ape!" Dorulumon commented with a smirk.

"Like I'd listen to the likes of you, you filthy traitor!" MadLeomon scowled with a lot of anger.

"DORULU TORNADO!" Dorulumon's drill tipped Tail spun rapidly, and then an orange tornado of energy roared into life, sending MadLeomon smashing into the trees. "I'm going to make sure I keep that promise I made."

"Grrr..." MadLeomon growled. "Promises are for the weak! Friends are for the weak! All that matters is Power!"

Dorulumon closed his eyes and shook his head in a disapproving manner. "I once thought the same, you know." His eyes snapped open as he dove towards the lion again. "DRILL BLADER!" The drill actually launched off of his tail, spinning like a top, towards MadLeomon.

The Zombie Lion was once more knocked through several more trees.

Meanwhile, Orochimon wasn't faring so well.

"HORN BREAKER DX!"

"XROS FIRE CUTTER!"

Three of his eight heads had been cut off, and two of the remaining five were critically burned beyond all use. All in all, Xros Heart had Orochimon on the ropes.

"Once more!" Shoutmon grinned from within the DigiXros.

"BUDDY...!" The energy built up at the tip of the energy cannon, and then... "BLASTER!"

...Orochimon was no more.

MadLeomon scowled at this point. "You rotten...!"

"DRILL BUSTER!" Every Drill on Dorulumon's body launched off once more, plowing into MadLeomon, and sending him back into the small clearing where Orochimon had once stood. "You're finished...!"

Turuiemon X2 cracker her knuckles, then smirked. "And it looks like you're going to be beaten by a bunch of meddling kids, eh?"

MadLeomon looked left, then right, then...

"NIGHTHAWK!"

There was an explosion as MailBirdramon's covert bombing attack scattered his Data particles.

Sigh, he should have looked up.

Turuiemon X2 looked up in shock. "K...Kiriha!"

The boy on MailBirdramon's back waved lightly. "Ohaiyo Gozaimasu." He yawned. "Looks like you're all up early."

TO BE CONTINUED.

Data Search is Fun!

"Looking up Data on our enemies..." A Chibi-Monitamon recites to the Chibi-Audience. "MAILBIRDRAMON! A Cyborg Digimon who's attacks are Plasma Cannon, Nighthawk, and Trident Tail. He has no other wish except for there to be peace and quiet so he can read a good book!"

Chibi-Shoutmon once more jumped on stage, jaw dropped way down to the floor. "WHAT? HIM!" A Chibi-Kiriha stared blankly up at Monitamon.

NEXT TIME!

"Aonuma, Kiriha, at your service."

"WA-A-A-A-AHH! Why does this keep happening to me!"

"The Code Crown for this Zone... it's...!"

"Gureimon! Mega Flame!"

"Hehehe! No-One escapes my bamboo sand trap!"

"Next Time! Kiriha! The Blazing Blue Flare!"

"Eh? Xros Three!"
