Author's Note: A friend of mine has been watching Digimon Adventures 01 and 02. So there may be a chance that she and I will co-write an adaption on that. I'll give more details once we're sure what we're doing.

Title: Expect the Unexpected
Summary: Kimiko is the estranged daughter of Mitsuo Yamaki. For her fifteenth birthday she acquires the Digimon: Labramon and becomes the fourth Digimon Tamer.
Chapter Thirteen: Super Evolution
Yamaki smirked as he reached for his glasses and removed them. All around him was the shrieking and squawking of the Digimon within the city, the ones that were unfortunate to become caught by the suction of the vortex.
"Goodbye," Yamaki murmured, watching as the Digimon came in contact with the vortex and was deleted instantly. "Beasts of mayhem, time to go away. The world will soon be free of this hideous pestilence forever."
"If there is any race that deserves to be exterminated, it's the human one!"
Yamaki frowned and turned around. He had been standing on the bridge outside Hypnos watching the destruction take place. Now, running towards him, with her Digimon at her side, was Kimiko. "The human race survives because it is meant to be here," he said.
"Humans and Digimon are exactly the same!" Kimiko yelled. "We each fight for our own freedom. What you're doing... you're killing innocent lives."
"Digimon aren't real."
"They are too real!" Kimiko yelled. "They may not be flesh and blood, but they are still born."
"Created."
"Same thing," Kimiko argued. "I was created by you and Mum, and then nine months later I was born. Digimon are created from data, and then born when their period of incubation is complete. They grow, just like we do, they have friends and people who love them. They're real creatures."
Yamaki growled, his hand tightening around his comms device. His daughter was growing more insolent by the day. "Enough, Kimiko, that is enough," he said. "I won't have my own daughter talk me in this way, especially when she has no idea what she is talking about."
"The one who has no idea is you," Kimiko snapped. "You think you're helping people by ridding the city of this 'nuisance' when in fact all you are doing is causing more trouble. How safe is Juggernaut? And the only reason you got it up and running is because you used several Digimon to do it."
"How did you -?"
"Walking around Hypnos unattended means I know many things, Dad," Kimiko said. "I know and saw what you did to DarkLizardmon. I won't let you do that to anyone else, and I most definitely won't let you do it to mine and my friends Digimon."
Yamaki smiled and walked towards Kimiko. "The only way to stop Juggernaut once it has started is to wait for it to end," he said. "By that time, all Digimon in this world will be gone."
"We'll see about that," Kimiko said.
"Kimiko," Labramon said, raising her head and sniffing the air.
Kimiko paused and turned to her Digimon. Labramon was standing on her toes, the hair along her back was standing on end and her eyes were burning a soft blue. "What is it, Labramon?" she asked.
"It's coming."
"What is?" Kimiko asked, looking up at the top of the Hypnos building. The vortex pulsated and a blue fog seeped through. "I'm guessing that's not supposed to happen," she said, pointing it out to her father.
Yamaki gasped and started speaking rapidly into his ear piece. "What is going on?!" he demanded.
"An anomaly has infiltrated the Juggernaut. It's coming through the vortex."
"What? But -" Yamaki checked his comms device, as Riley fed through what she was seeing on her screens. "But that's impossible. This program is flawless. I designed it myself. Nothing can get through there. This cannot be happening... what have I done?!"
"I told you, things are only as good as their creators," Kimiko said.
Yamaki turned to glare at his daughter, but in that split second did something that stunned both of them. He raised his hand, hitting her hard across the side of the face. As realization of his actions dawned, Yamaki dropped his hand and stared, stunned, at the blossoming red mark on Kimiko's cheek. "Kimiko," he said, stepping closer.
"Don't," Kimiko said, stepping back. Tears were in her eyes and her hand cupped her cheek, but it wasn't enough to cover the rapidly growing red bloom. "Who are you?" she asked. Her father may have been a lot of things, but he had never hit her before. "I don't know who you are... but you are not my dad."
Hurt by her words, Yamaki sighed in defeat and walked away. He was still stunned by his actions, and upset at himself for driving his daughter away. He knew, even though nothing had been said, this had been the last straw for Kimiko; he had seen it in her eyes. The hurt, the pain, the fear... she'd given up on him, and he only had himself to blame for that.
"Kimiko," Labramon said her voice quiet.
"Let's deal with this thing," Kimiko replied, trying to keep the hurt from her voice. She took a couple of deep breaths to calm her beating heart, and then reached for her glasses. The digital field flooded around her, engulfing her and Labramon in a smokey arena.
~*Expect the Unexpected*~
Once she had pushed back the tears, Kimiko looked up, but found no Digimon waiting for her.
"Where is he?" she asked.
"Listen," Labramon said, lifting one of her ears.
"Humans created us but now we are free," growled a voice from someone inside the digital field. "The time has come to claim our place in the real world. You have but one purpose - to serve the Digimon."
Kimiko shook her head. "Who are you?" she shouted.
"I am only a representative of those who are to be your masters."
"You're wrong," Kimiko said. "Just like my dad. We won't let you do this. Digimon and Humans were created to live in harmony with one another, not for one race to overrule the other."
"It is thanks to you that all this has happened," the voice said. "I should thank you. It is because of you creator that the portal to the real world from the digital world has been opened for all of us."
Kimiko shook her head. "Listen to me!" she pleaded.
"Listen to you? I should be thanking you," the voice said. "Thanking you for making this possible. We could never have done it without your assistance."
"No!"
"Kimiko!"
Kimiko turned to the sound of her name and sighed a breath of relief as she saw Takato and Guilmon running towards her. For a brief second she had forgotten about the mark on her cheek, and the worry it would cause her friends to see it. She couldn't tell them what really happened, they'd want her to report it, but she also couldn't hide it from them either.
"Kimiko, what's going on?" Takato asked. "Where's the Digimon, and who are you arguing with?"
"It doesn't matter now," Kimiko said, shaking her head. "All that matters is that we deal with the situation." She pointed to the top of the Hypnos building. "The Digital field is coming from up there; I'm guessing that's where the creature is."
"Then we need to get up there - huh?" Takato looked up as a shadow fell over them. It was Renamon, and she was running up the side of the building with grace and ease.
"That's the way up," Guilmon said.
Takato nodded.
"Wait, don't go yet," said Henry, arriving with Terriermon and Rika,
"OK, why not?" Takato asked. "What's up?"
"Not you," Rika said, holding up her Digivice.
"I meant up there," Takato said, huffing in annoyance.
"So did I," Rika teased. "Be quiet. I don't get it," she said after a moment of nothing. "There's nothing there."
"There has to be," Kimiko said.
"It's a digital field," Takato agreed.
"It doesn't make any sense," Henry exclaimed.
"Hold on," Rika said, holding up her hand. She smirked as an image reflected back at her. "There you are. But why aren't I getting any data on him?" she asked. "What kind of Digimon is this?"
"Who cares?" Terriermon asked, jumping down from Henry's shoulder. "What's he going to do, bite me? We can take him. You ready?" he asked, turning back to face Henry.
Henry nodded, holding up his Digivice.
"Wait, Renamon can handle this," Rika said, running off towards the Hypnos building. "I'll make her Digivolve."
"Rika! You can use this card!" Takato shouted, throwing her a card from across the courtyard.
Rika caught it, swiping it through her Digivice as she did. "Digi modify! Digivolution activate!" she yelled.
Digivolution...
"Renamon, digivolve to... Kyubimon!"
"Oh, yeah! Now we're talkin'!"
"That's more like it," Kyubimon growled, Digivolving and lunging for the tiger before her. He was much bigger than she was, but that didn't mean he was stronger, despite how much he looked it. Skimming against his side, Kyubimon tuckered her head down as she slid past him, and fell into a forward roll as she landed. "Dragon Wheel!"
A blue wheel of dragon's fire exploded from Kyubimon's body and spiraled towards the tiger. The flames engulfed him, but the tiger just ran straight through.
"Samurai tiger tail!" the tiger yelled, swinging its tail around and slamming them into Kyubimon.
~*Expect the Unexpected*~
A collective gasp rippled around the tamers as Kyubimon was thrown over the edge of the Hypnos building. She fell towards the floor with rapid speed, her whole body breaking up as her data fought to stay together.
"That's it," Terriermon said, running towards the foot of the building. "I'm going, Henry. That tiger's toast."
Henry nodded reached for his Digivice and cards.
"Me too, Kimiko," Labramon said, chasing the little bunny.
"Go for it!" Kimiko said, reaching for her own pack of cards.
Both Kimiko and Henry exchanged looks, and then swiped their cards through their D-powers and shouted, "Digi modify! Digivolution activate!"
Digivolution...
"Terriermon, digivolve to... Gargomon!"
"Labramon, digivolve to... Seasramon!"
"Turbo lasers!" Gargomon said, firing his gauntlets at the floor and raising him into the air. As he rose higher and higher, he passed Renamon on her descent. However, Seasramon caught the falling fox on her back and returned to the sidewalk. Rika and the others rushed forward as Seasramon took off into the air.
"Renamon, are you OK?" Rika asked, touching the fox's shoulder.
"So... strong..." Renamon said, weakly. "Ultimate. Possibly even Mega."
"Don't try to talk," Rika said.
"Is Renamon all right?" Takato asked.
Henry looked up from his D-power. "I don't it!" he said. "Why can't I get any data on this guy?"
"We're fighting completely blind here."
Takato stared hard at the defeated fox, his whole body trembled and he feared what would happen if they were unable to defeat this problem like they had done the others. "If Kyubimon was defeated this easily, then we don't stand a chance," he said.
"Come on, Takato, don't think like that," Kimiko said.
~*Expect the Unexpected*~
Up on the roof, Seasramon had finally reached the roof to find Gargomon shooting in the opposite side of the roof. "Gargomon, behind you!" he shouted, as the tiger advanced. "Tee Dia!" he said, summoning countless holy arrows of sunlight at the tiger. They hit every inch of his body, causing him to backtrack.
"Tiger Wing Blades!" the tiger growled, striking the ground with his tail. The ground shook violently, knocking Gargomon off of his feet whilst Seasramon jumped into the air and hovered above the shaking ground.
Gargomon stumbled towards the edge of the building, but then caught his footing seconds before tumbling over the side. "Gargo lasers!" he shouted, pulling up his gauntlets and firing them. The bullets hit the tiger, but very little damage.
"Samurai Tiger Tail!" the tiger yelled. His tail hardened and he slammed it into the rabbit's head and stomach.
"Argh!" Gargomon yelled, as he was thrown over the side of the building.
"GARGOMON!" Henry yelled.
"Seasramon!" Kimiko yelled.
Upon hearing her Tamer's yells, Seasramon jumped off the side of the rooftop, flew under Gargomon - who had no reverted back to Terriermon - and caught him on her back. The little rabbit-like Digimon was unconscious once Seasramon had returned to the tamers.
"I'm going back up," Seasramon said to Kimiko.
"Be careful," Kimiko said, clutching her digivice between her fingers.
Seasramon nodded and flew back up to the top of the building. She hovered above the ground, which was slightly cracked and looked around for the tiger. "Where are you, big boy?" she growled.
A snarl from her left caused her to turn in the air, her tail elevated into the air as her body glowed a bright yellow. "Tee Dia!" she shouted, unleashing a flurry of holy arrows again. They hit the oncoming tiger, but he cut through them using his 'samurai tiger tail' attack.
Kimiko looked down at her D-Power as it vibrated in her hands. She could only assume that it as from any attacks that Seasramon was enduring. "I've got to help her!" she cried. "But without any data on that thing, I won't know if I'm using the right cards."
Through the fog still seeping through the vortex, Henry was able to make out a large shape flying around the building. It passed from the right building to the left and disappeared from sight. "He's gone around the other side," he said.
"Kimiko, you've got to help Seasramon!" Takato said.
"I'm trying," Kimiko cried. "But without any data on that thing, I won't know if I am using the right cards. Seasramon!"
Seasarmon's ears picked up the faintest sounds of Kimiko's yell and turned, her eyes widened as she saw the Tiger prowling around her. He bared his teeth and lunged forward, colliding with her and knocking her out of the sky.
The tiger hissed and circled her. "This ends here!" he said. "Samurai Tiger Tail!"
Seasramon roared in agony as the tail smashed into her, and slid along the rough stone of the roof. She teetered dangerous on the edge of the building, and then slipped as another shake caused the building to rock violently.
"SEASARSMON!" Kimiko yelled.
"That's enough!" Guilmon growled as Seasramon reverted back to Labramon and plummeted towards the ground. "My turn."
"Huh? Hey!" Takato yelled but Guilmon ignored him and took off running towards the building.
"I'm going to need a lot of peanut butter after this one," Guilmon said.
Unsure of whether or not he was doing the right thing, Takato reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of cards and his digivice. He wanted Guilmon to digivolve, he wanted him to fight, but he didn't want to lose his best friend in the process, and that is what usually happened when Guilmon became Growlmon.
"Here goes nothing," Takato murmured, swiping his card through his D-Power. "Come on, boy!"
Digivolution...
"Guilmon, digivolve to... Growlmon!"
~*Expect the Unexpected*~
Unlike with Renamon and Terriermon, Labramon had no one to catch her and return her to the sidewalk safely. She was semi-conscious when Growlmon passed her, heading up to meet the tiger, and was visibly shaken and painfully hurt when she collided with Kimiko who had run out to try and catch her. The momentum of the fall knocked both of them to the floor.
"Labramon," Kimiko whispered, scrambling to her knees and laying the dog on the floor, but maintained a firm hold around her. "Are you OK?"
"Kimi," Labramon whispered weakly.
"What is it?" Kimiko asked, leaning down so that she could hear what her friend had to say.
"He always circles around before he attacks," Labramon breathed.
"Oh!" Kimiko gasped, looking up at her friends. "We may still have a chance. He always circles around like a shark just before he attacks."
"How's that going to -?" Takato asked, not fully understanding what he was being told.
"That's when Growlmon can get him," Henry said.
"Oh, yeah, OK," Takato said, looking down at his digivice. He saw the tiger reflected back at him, but just like his friends couldn't receiving any data on him. Watching as the tiger passed the screen again and circle back towards Guilmon, Takato looked up and shouted: "Now, Growlmon! Do it!"
Roaring loudly, Growlmon slashed at the tiger with his claws. "Dragon slash!" he yelled. He pulled back and parted his jaws. "Pyro blaster!" he said, firing a fireball at the tiger. It hit him in the face, but did very little damage.
Roaring in anger, the tiger broke through the fire and locked his jaws around Growlmon's upper arm, causing him to scream in agony.
Takato gasped, dropped his Digivice and quickly grabbed his shoulder. Sweat poured from his face and he clenched his eyes shut tightly against the pain he could feel. "It's... over..." he said through gritted teeth before collapsing to his knees, and flopping over onto his stomach.
"What's with him?" Rika asked, looking around.
"Takato!" Henry yelled.
~*Expect the Unexpected*~
When he opened his eyes, Takato found that he was in a place full of mechanical clocks and not the courtyard outside of the building where the digital field had opened. He was still clutching his shoulder, and couldn't help but be curious as to why he was in so much pain.
"I don't get it," he said. "Why am I feeling the pain when it is Growlmon who's been attacked?"
Then, from behind him, came a familiar voice. The voice was of Growlmon, but when Takato turned around he couldn't help but hesitate. Growlmon, whilst real, was only half there. One side of his body was complete with red and black scales and a white mane, but the rest of his body was the digital grid.
"Tamer, it's not over yet," Growlmon said, freaking Takato out more than he already had.
"Growlmon, you don't recognise me, do you?" Takato asked his heart dropping into his stomach.
"Of course," Growlmon replied, sounding more like Guilmon. "It just seemed like such a serious moment."
"Yeah, it was," Takato agreed. "But don't do that again, OK?"
"OK, sorry. Anyway, like I was saying, you've got to let me fight again," Growlmon said. "So we made a couple of mistakes. No big deal. I know I can take him. But I'm really going to need your help this time. Are you in?"
"I don't... know," Takato said, hesitantly.
"Takato, I need you," Growlmon pleaded.
Still, unable to face the idea of what happened to his friend's partners, happening to his own, Takato still hesitated. He looked around as holographic images of Rika and Renamon, Henry and Terriermon, and Kimiko and Labramon appeared in the strange dimension. They looked defeated and helpless. He needed to help them. He had to help them.
"But... I'm not worthy," Takato said, unsurely. "It's all my fault! You wouldn't have gotten hurt if it wasn't for me. I've been a coward, Growlmon, and I'm so sorry. But if you're really willing to give me one more chance, then I have no choice but to take it. Growlmon..."
"Takato," Growlmon said, reaching out to grab his tamer's hands.
"We will fight," Takato yelled, feeling himself flying through the air. He brushed hands with Growlmon and latched on. "One more time... together!"
The clock dimension disappeared and Takato blinked as he looked around to see he was in fact holding Calumon's hand and screaming at the top of his voice at the base of the building, still covered by a digital field.
"Hey, uh, hi, Calumon," Takato said, sheepishly.
"Did anyone ever tell you that you talk in your sleep?" Calumon asked, his ears extending and his eyes widening in amusement.
Kimiko giggled. "Damn, Takato, you've got a set of lungs on you," she said, kneeling beside him with Henry and Rika.
Takato blushed in embarrassment.
"Welcome back," Henry said. "How you feeling?"
"What a wuss. I can't believe you fainted," Rika said.
"What?" Takato asked, looking up at the red head. He laughed nervously and looked away. Movement caught the corner of his eye, and he looked up to see three helicopters firing their guns at the roof.
Kimiko followed his gaze and gasped. "That's not going to work," she said, standing up. She wanted to run back into Hypnos, find her father, and ordered him to stop the attack on the roof. But she held back, not only just because she didn't want to see her father after the incident that had occurred between them, but also because that meat having to explain to her friends what she knew about the building.
"She's right," Henry agreed. "Guns won't even phase him. It'll take something a lot strong than that."
"Brilliant, Einstein, but what do you suggest?" Rika asked. "Even Growlmon crumped like a stupid rag doll."
Shaking his head, Takato forced himself to his knees and said, "I haven't finished yet! We haven't finished yet. Growlmon is still willing to fight, and as long as I'm still breathing, I'll be right there by his side." He grabbed his Digivice and a card from his fallen deck, he didn't care which one it was, and any one would've sufficed now. "It is time to use the power that brought us here in the first place."
The cards beneath his hands started to glow, and one in particular changed from blue and green to solid blue.
"He's got the card," said Henry, shocked at the sudden appearance of a blue card. A card that allowed for Digivolution.
"OK, I'm with you," Rika said.
"Uh-huh," Kimiko nodded.
"That's more like it," Takato said, straightening up and holding the blue card above his head. "This battle has only just begun!" He raised his Digivice above his head and swiped the blue card through it. "Digi modify! Matrix Digivolution!"
Calumon squeaked, causing Kimiko to turn to him in alarm, she drew a breath as she saw the red triangle on his head glow brightly, followed by a powerful roar from the skies.
Matrix Digivolution
"Growlmon, digivolve to... WarGrowlmon!"
~*Expect the Unexpected*~
There was an explosion from the top of the left Hypnos building. One that took the Tamers by surprise, especially when they saw the tiger Digimon.
"Whoa," Henry breathed as the newly digivolved WarGrowlmon appeared through the debris that had billowed up as a result of the explosion. "Our little boy is all grown up."
"I'll give you that one," Rika agreed.
"They grow up so fast," Kimiko murmured. She looked down as Calumon slouched against her leg, and quickly lifted him into her arms, resting him against Labramon's back. Now she had two exhausted Digimon to look after tonight, but she'd take them over facing her father right now.
"Yeah!" Takato cheered, clenching his hand into a fist. "WarGrowlmon - Cyborg type, ultimate level."
"Nice presentation," the tiger said. "But no one beast Mihiramon. Samurai Tiger Tail!" he swung his tail around, hitting WarGrowlmon on the arms, but the ultimate cyborg Digimon blocked, shielding himself with his armour plated arms. "How were you able to digivolve to this level? Don't tell me that human had something to do with it."
Looking up from Calumon and Labramon, just to check on the situation above her, Kimiko frowned as she noticed the pained look on her Takato's face. His whole frame shook visibly and violently, and he groaned and grunted as if invisible fists were punching at every inch of his body. "Takato...?" she murmured.
"What's wrong?" Henry asked.
"Um, you don't look so good," Rika said, staring at Takato fearfully.
"I feel every hit," Takato groaned. He grit his teeth and wrenched open his eyes. "All right, that's enough."
"Oh, so you want to play with the kitty, huh?" Mihiramon asked, stopping the attack and baring his teeth at WarGrowlmon. "Armored Tiger Tail!" he shouted, transforming his tail into spikier version of the last one.
Takato clenched his hand around his Digivice, it shook under the pressure. "It's time to take the tiger by the tail," he said. "Let's do this together."
He took a step forward, a step that was echoed from above, almost like WarGrowlmon was mimicking Takato's movements. He grabbed the spiked tail and waited for further instructions.
"As your Tamer, I say finish it!" Takato yelled.
"Well, if you say so, Tamer," WarGrowlmon responded. He held put the tiger tail and then pulled it towards him. Mihiramon hissed as he was pulled backwards through the air. "You've been a very naughty kitty," WarGrowlmon said, firing up the blasters on his chest plates. "Atomic..."
"... BLASTER!" Takato and WarGrowlmon yelled together.
A red blaze filled the air, engulfing Mihiramon whole.
"Fool! You and your humans!" Mihiramon yelled loudly, surprised by the attack. He was more surprised when he felt his data starting to be defeated. "Digimon could have had supreme power over both worlds. But you had to ruin everything."
With Mihiramon finally defeated, WarGrowlmon jumped from the side of the building and lowered himself gently down in front of his friends. His final descent shook the entire street, but he didn't break anything like he would've done had he jumped without the help of his blasters.
Happy to see his friend alive, Takato run forward and hugged him.
"Takatomon," WarGrowlmon said, looking affectionately down at the human boy beneath him.
"Huh?" Takato murmured, looking up. He was pleased to see that WarGrowlmon recognised him.
"You are worthy, Tamer," WarGrowlmon said. "Thank you for fighting by my side."
"I didn't do anything but trust you, and, I guess, myself," Takato said, clenching his eyes shut and hugging WarGrowlmon again. "Well, it looks like we're gonna need a lot more peanut butter," he joked.
