The next day and after traveling through the night, Miracle's Reach eventually crossed the border between the Dark Realm and the Water Realm, the atmosphere shifting as everyone felt the calmness and temperament of the sea slow through their very beings.

Upon the bridge of the airship, meanwhile, Dark Davis and Fire Davis stood alongside Kari, Henry, Julie, Caleb, Victor, Kenji and the Digi-heroes and heroines of the Digital World as they looked out the windows and took in the vast ocean that made up the Water Realm's territory.

As they surveyed the waters below, Fire Davis and the rest of those from the Fire Realm remained vigilant, the fire champion trusting his water counterpart, but not the rest of those who fought alongside him.

Likewise, TK and Michael both remained with their own concerns as they looked over the special containment crate holding the uranium Water Davis asked for, the pair of Digidestined having to convince the DDF Provisional Council that it wasn't going to be used for anything harmful, at least not that they were aware of, before a special team of Sealsdramon brought the material to Nexus for the Arch-Savant's use.

"Sir, we've arrived at the coordinates." One of the bridge crew members then informed as he looked upon Fire Davis, who just nodded his head in reply.

"Hold position and keep an eye on the radars." The fire champion then ordered, before looking amongst his friends and said with a sigh. "And now we wait."

Looking out the windows, Shoutmon then questioned with a fair curiosity. "Is it all just underwater?"

'Mostly, there are a few island nations that can be seen above the water, but the rest of the Water Realm's cities and such are closer to the ocean floor…' Henry told Shoutmon, who nodded in thanks, before the Digimon King refocused his sights on the waters below, waiting to see from where Water Davis would meet them and how.

Looking over and upon Fire Davis, Kari could sense his anxiety and saw the tension his companions from the Fire Realm each expressed upon their faces, this causing the Dark Empress to frown a little as she knew they were concerned about being in what they considered to be hostile territory.

Approaching the fiery variant of her beloved, Kari placed a comforting hand on Fire Davis' own, the brunette gently moving her fingers with his own as he turned and looked upon her beloved with a kind smile.

"I'm fine… we're all fine. As long as we stick to the rules, we all set up for one another when visiting the Realms, the Arch-Savant will not let anything happen to us." Fire Davis assured.

"You'll have to let us know what those rules are, please." Victor then commented as he spoke for himself and Kenji, the pair still nervous at the idea that they were within the lands of those who invaded their home barely a month ago.

"For you guys, basically just stick with us, don't wander off, be polite and don't talk about military stuff unless they bring it up." Caleb simply informed in reply, having already done this routine with Fire Davis many times in the past.

Listening to the conversation and thinking to himself about the wars and conflicts he and the others had heard about between the Realms of Nexus, Mikey then looked to both Davises and asked with his own curiosity. "Mind if I ask you two something?"

As the two Davises turned their attention upon the Red General and commander of the Dark Imperium's forces, Mikey then asked with a growing interest. "It seems all five of you get along, despite being from the five different Realms, how come you haven't tried to work together to bring some form of unity or understanding to end these Realm Conflicts?"

'Unfortunately, it's not all that simple, Mikey…' Henry informed as he looked at the Red General, before he turned his attention upon Fire Davis and Dark Davis as he allowed them to speak.

"We have tried a few times in the past." Fire Davis then informed the brunette, before continuing as he then explained. "But as I told the others when they arrived here, there is too much hatred and long standing resentments between the realms. Likewise, there are individuals who relish conflicts and even prosper from them, like Vaddik and Malgion, individuals that we are unable to touch even with our positions, while the Rulers remain apathetic toward the conflicts, looking at a bigger picture we still don't understand."

"The best we five have been able to do is keep the conflicts from bursting into all out wars, while protecting those we are charged with protecting." The Shadow then informed added as he too expressed his own thoughts toward the conversation.

Nodding in reply to the Davises' words, Mikey returned his focus to the windows as he waited patiently for Water Davis' arrival, while everyone else remained in silence as they thought to themselves about what they had just heard.

For Kari, however, the Dark Empress took in the words of her beloveds and allowed them, along with the words of the Fire Emperor and of the Dark Emperor to ring within her mind, and the former Digidestined of Light was not pleased.

Once again, others were dictating her and Davis' fates, pulling them on their strings as it seemed to be, and for their own ends, and the Dark Empress despised the feeling, even if she was promised that she and her beloveds would remain together forever.

Deep down, a part of Kari desired to rip the Veil down, to allow herself and her five lovers to leave this world and go wherever they wished, to do whatever they desired with no one interfering.

Shaking her head clear of such thoughts, however, Kari allowed herself to merely enjoy the fact that she was with her beloveds once again and would soon be physically reunited with another.

It was at that moment that the Water Realm drone, which had been following Dark Davis since the spar, made a beeping sound, grabbing everyone's attention as a very familiar voice then spoke through the drone as a speaker.

"A crude simplification of things, but accurate, nonetheless, my variants." Water Davis simply said through the drone, before the airship's radar kicked in and alerted the crew that something was coming.

Looking out toward the waters before the airship, Kari, the Davises and everyone else on the bridge watched as a Cyber Fortress, one similar to the one Krytus used in his assault upon the Fire Realm, slowly emerged from the sea, the water dripping off of the shields of the metal construct as it floated into the air and before Miracle's Reach.

"Please proceed to the docking bay at the coordinates being sent to you, we have much to discuss." The Arch-Savant then instructed as the drone then turned itself off, where everyone on the bridge looked upon one another in silence, each wondering what would happen next and how this meeting would turn out.

.

.

.

Upon Miracle's Reach and entering the hanger of the Cyber Fortress, and the doors closing behind the airship, those new to Nexus and from the Fire Realm all felt a shift in the air as they realized that the Fortress was descending back into the waters below and to the true territories of the Water Realm.

Having Kenji and Victor remain with the crew of the airship and the rest of the DDF and Dark Imperium forces onboard while they went to talk to Water Davis, Fire Davis and Dark Davis existed the airship with Kari, Julie, Caleb, Henry and the heroes and heroines of the Digital World, while Cyberdramon carefully carrying the container of the uranium to bring to the Arch-Savant.

Exiting the airship and entering the hangar, TK, Kari and the rest of the newcomers to Nexus looked around and saw that aside from some drones and manta ray fighters resting in their stations, the hangar seemed completely empty.

In fact, the entire Cyber Fortress seemed eerily quiet to the humans, Digimon and Appmon, which left a few with a sense of nervousness and uncertainty as to what would happen next.

Continuing to follow Fire Davis and Dark Davis, the group eventually arrived at a pair of doors that led into the rest of the Fortress, which then opened up and revealed a trio of individuals that entered the hanger, each followed by what appeared to be robotic drones with four spider legs carrying several boxes.

Approaching the new arrivals, the trio bowed respectfully, an action the two Davises returned, while everyone else looked upon the beings with mixed reactions as…

"Are those dolphin men?" Kazu asked with a mix of shock and bewilderment as he looked upon the creatures before him, to see that they were indeed a mix of humans and dolphins, each clad in blue cybernetic suits and robes.

While each had a slightly larger cranium, as though showing their larger brains in the process, their appearance continued to bewilder many within the group.

"Dolphoids." Dark Davis merely said in reply as he looked over his shoulder and upon those behind him, before he then informed the others. "Smart and mostly peaceful, but don't provoke them or you'll seriously regret it."

Looking back upon the Dolphoids, one looked upon Cyberdramon and the containment device he was carrying, before the creature then pointed to one of the spider drones, which seemed to have space for the cyborg Digimon to put the uranium down upon.

Looking toward Ryo and seeing his partner nod in reply, Cyberdramon then placed the container of uranium upon the drone, where a series of metal claws clamped around the object, securing it as the drone then turned and began to leave the hanger, an action followed by Cyberdramon reverting to Monodramon and moving to stand beside his Tamer.

With the uranium now in their possession, the Dolphoids then gestured to the remaining drones, where the cases upon them then opened to reveal a large number of small devices, which reminded Izzy and Thomas of a Bluetooth device, only the devices seemed far more advanced than any of the technology they had ever seen before.

Walking over to the crates, Fire Davis and Dark Davis each took one of the devices, where the fire champion then turned to face everyone else as he informed them. "Just put these on over your right ear. It won't hurt you, but you might have a small headache once they turn on for a little bit."

Fire Davis then looked upon Julie and Caleb and added as he told his fire team. "And don't worry, these aren't built to read our minds, he made sure of it."

Looking upon one another, the group all shared in a silent agreement as they each took one of the ear devices and put them on, with some such as Guardromon finding that the devices could attach to the side of his head and still function without flaw.

However, as everyone finished placing the devices on, the items activated and…

I need the analysis report in the next twenty minutes…

We are at five thousand depths and descending…

Where is the Data from the outline sensors…

Clenching their heads, Kari, TK and the others did their best to suppress the headaches they were feeling due to the sudden rush of voices now filling their brains, to the point that Gammamon expressed his distress and cried out. "Too many voices!"

Managing to adjust and feeling their headaches slowly subsiding, many within the group came to a realization as their eyes widened, now realizing that the Cyber Fortress was not quiet, everyone on board was talking telepathically, and these devices allowed them to hear what the Water Realm crew members were thinking.

There are three fire champions in the hanger, alert security and have them contained…

Belay that order…

Hearing the latest voice to echo through their minds, Kari, TK and the rest of the group from the Digital World each held surprised expressions as they recognized the voice, looking upon Fire Davis and Dark Davis, who each nodded their heads in reply, informing them that this was indeed their watery variant speaking now.

My fiery counterpart and his allies will abide by the agreements and rules the five of us have set up for such occasions, they will not be treated as prisoners… However, if there is still need for reassurance, extra security will be placed at sensitive areas of the fortress and they will always have an escort… Now, please escort them to the command centre…

At once, Arch-Savant…

Blinking their eyes at the latest voice, which held a kind and feminine tone within, the group realized it was coming from the lead Dolphoid before them, who then gestured her arm for the group to follow, where she then led then out of the hanger and through the hallways of the Cyber Fortress.

Keeping close as a group and following their guides, Kari, TK, Veemon and the others took in the sights they could see of the Fortress, from the almost science fiction styled aesthetics, to the Water Realm soldiers that stood on guard as they walked down the hallways, with Tagiru and a few others gulping lightly as they passed by a small group of Rokian that walked passed them, the Digi-heroes and heroines remembering all too well just how brutal the shark men could be in battle.

Likewise, and through the neural link devices they all wore, the group of Digi-heroes and heroines continued to hear the crew of the Cyber Fortress conversing with one another, some focusing on the fact that two of the Arch-Savant's variants were on board, showing that it was a rare sight to have more than one of the Davises in the same place.

Others, meanwhile, seemed to be curious themselves about the Digimon and Appmon, each taking an interest on the concept of Digital Lifeforms made from the Data of a primitive human world, which brought smiles to Shoutmon, Gatchmon and the others, before they paled as a few of the Water Realm crew members suggested experimenting on them.

Fortunately, the subject was quickly dismissed by Water Davis through the psychic link.

Finally, a small group of the Water Realm individuals seemed to have their focus upon Kari, each taking in the fabled Digidestined of Light the Arch-Savant and his variants had often spoke of as they seemed interested in her power and her change of personality from the girl they had been told about.

Following Fire Davis and Dark Davis, however, Kari merely tuned out the conversations about her, the Dark Empress uncaring as to what they thought of her as her only desire right now was to see Water Davis.

Continuing down the corridors and hallways of the fortress, TK and the others sighed in relief as the conversations of the Water Realm researchers and scientists seemed to calm down within their minds, giving the group of Digi-heroes a moment of quietness, before they then heard something they didn't expect, singing.

As though humming or ideally singing to themselves as they refocused on their work, the tune and the words reminded a few amongst the group of a sea shanty, only the words spoke of them travelling the stars and the multiverse as they explored the unknown, echoing what the group was told the day before by Dark Davis and Henry of the Water Realm's desire to understand the universe.

Chuckling to themselves as they continued to lead their friends and follow their guides, Fire Davis and Dark Davis remained amused by the atmosphere of the Cyber Fortress, before they found themselves at their destination as a pair of large doors slid open before them and allowed the group into the command centre.

Walking into the chamber, TK, Kari and the others saw that it was a large circular room, with over a dozen individuals standing before or seated at holographic computer terminals that circled around the entire room and around a platform at the centre of the chamber, one with a large projector that showed off a holographic map of the Water Realm's domain.

Briefly allowing his eyes to wander and to look over the various holographic screens, Fire Davis took note of one that revealed that the Cyber Fortress was now positioned in the middle of a sizable Water Realm armada, one that, while not as large as the one Krytus used for his invasion, was still a powerful force, this letting the fire champion know that something was happening and that his watery counterpart was spearheaded this operation.

Speaking of that certain individual, Fire Davis, Dark Davis, Kari and the others then turned their heads upward, where they saw a sphere of holographic screens, over a hundred or so, circling around a being that seemed to be floating in the centre, one who seemed to be focused on the information before him as his back remained towards his guests.

Looking upon the being, Kari, TK and the others saw that it was a human clad from head to toe in a silver tech suit, one which had blue cybernetic veins running along the arms and legs and which lead to a blue power source upon the chest, alongside a match gem set upon his right hand.

A bluish grey cape flowed down from the individual's shoulders and stopped just below his knees, while a pair of silver crescent spikes stuck out of his back and curved around the sides of his head as six similar spikes floated over his shoulders and next to the sides of his head.

Finally, the individual's head was covered in a silver tech helmet, which held no facial features, save for a pair of eyes that showed a bright blue light from them as the being continued to look over the screens floating around him, his hands touching and pressing a few of the holographic buttons as he continued in his work.

"Thank you for bringing the uranium." The Arch-Savant, Water Davis, then said with a fair appreciation as he continued looking over the screens, his lack of formality causing a few of the Digi-heroes to sweatdrop as they now understood what Fire Davis and Dark Davis had told them the day before.

"Of course." Dark Davis merely said in reply, before he asked with a growing curiosity. "But what do you need it for?"

"There is a creature, an aberration of mixed Mana that has been attacking coastal cities and research stations along the border between the Water Realm and the Dark Realm, it strikes before the defenses can react and flees before reinforcements can arrive, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake." The Arch-Savant explained as he continued to look over the holographic screens, where one of the screens grew as the map before everyone showed several flashing red dots in a single area, indicating the places that have been attacked.

"An aberration?! That's not good." Julie remarked and with a surprised and concerned tone within her voice, her words drawing the attention of those new to Witchelny as they looked upon her with confusion.

"Most beings in Nexus live by and harness only one type of Mana, mostly from the Realm they are born from, but there are times when a being can harness more than one at a time. Many such beings, while incredibly powerful, are also highly unstable, and can be driven into fits of madness and rage, causing massive damage to everything around them, only to be stopped by a tremendous amount of force." The silver haired fire champion explained to those new to Nexus, who absorbed her words as they understood the situation.

"So, you're going to blow it up?" Kazu found himself questioning as he looked back upon Water Davis and tried to understand the need for the uranium the DDF brought.

"No." The Arch-Savant said back, before he then informed Kazu and the others. "However, based upon the attack patterns we have observed, the creature seems drawn to various forms of radiation, draining the sources for food and sustenance. The unique energy signature of the uranium should be enough to attract its attention."

"You're using it as bait." Mikey then said as he now understood the Arch-Savant's overall plan.

"Correct. Once the aberration is in place, we will launch an offensive to take it down, moving with caution, as we have not fully observed the creature's true form, let alone what its abilities are. We will either try to contain the beast or bring it down so that it will no longer be a threat to the Water Realm's safety." Water Davis then told Mikey and the others as more of the screens moved closely around him, to display the various forms of Data to him, while his guests now understood the need for the sizable armada floating around the Cyber Fortress, the battle force that would be used to combat the unknown aberration.

Allowing a moment of silence and watching his watery counterpart still reviewing the Data before him, Fire Davis spoke up as he said to the Arch-Savant. "Not to sound insulting or to truly distract you from your work, but… you have people here you haven't seen in a long, long time, people who have tunneled their way into Nexus just to find you again, you can at least greet them."

Ignoring the sideways glares many of the Water Realm crew members sent his way, Fire Davis and his companions watched the Arch-Savant for a moment, before all the holographic screens around him turned off.

"Of course." Water Davis replied as he then floated down to the floor and landed on his feet, where he turned to face the friends and family from his old life, along with eyeing his fiery and dark counterparts and their allies.

It was then that the floating pieces of his armour then slid back upon his shoulders and head, before the helmet turned into blue Data particles and merged into the rest of the outfit, revealing Water Davis' true face to those before him.

While Kari, Jun and Veemon had already see the Arch-Savant's face beforehand, the rest of the newcomers to Nexus looking with a mix of awe and bewilderment to see this newer copy of Davis before them as they took in his bright blue eyes and the blue circuitry veins that ran along his face and toward the blue chip embedded within his forehead.

Looking between all three Davises present, a few amongst the Digi-heroines held slight blushes upon their faces at the idea of three handsome and well-built men, practically triplets, all in love with the same girl, which also left a few of the girls quite jealous of Kari and to the loving attention she was receiving.

Rika, meanwhile, fought to keep her arousal in check as she looked upon the newer Davis, ignoring the more primal and perverted voice in her mind now from making her imagine what pleasures she could feel when Kari invites her to join in her next night of "fun".

Seeing him look upon her and offer a small and heartfelt smile, Kari then approached Water Davis, moving until she stood before him, where she brought her right hand up and gently placed it upon his cheek, before moving her head forward as she captured Water Davis' lips in a tender and passionate kiss, one the Arch-Savant accepted and slowly returned.

As many among the DDF and Dark Imperium looked away from the show of public affection, each with a bright blush on their faces, TK, Patamon and the others took note upon seeing that most of those within the command centre were staring at the scene with intrigue, though none of the humans, Digimon or Appmon could hear the crew members' thoughts, as if they were either blocking them out or had nothing to say about the sight.

At the same time, Henry, Julie and Caleb looked upon Fire Davis and Dark Davis, seeing the fire champion with a small smile and a twitching eye as he murmured to himself. "It's not cheating… it's not cheating…"

Likewise, the Shadow's right eye twitched in annoyance to the sight before him, but he too restrained himself, before he found himself wondering how he was going to handle things when his Nature and Light variants would be added into the mix, and how he'd be able to resist his urges from killing them.

Breaking the kiss for air, Kari kept her smile as she looked into Water Davis' eyes, seeing behind the cold calculated and scientific mindset a spark of love, before the Dark Empress then stepped back and allowed Jun and Veemon to walk over and to embrace the Arch-Savant, who returned the gesture in kind.

Breaking from his embrace of his sister and Digimon partner, Water Davis then looked upon the rest of his old friends as he then said to them with a remaining logistics within his voice. "It is good to see you all again. My only regret with the events that have occurred since your arrival has been that your first encounter with the Water Realm had to be through a warmonger like Krytus."

Turning his attention upon Henry, the Arch-Savant then told the ghostly Tamer. "And I apologize for now realizing your true identity sooner, otherwise I would have provided any aid you needed, Henry."

'All good, I had to act a part… an annoying, frustrating and maddening part, but a part nonetheless…' The Wraith replied with a dismissive wave of his hand, while those around him sweatdropped as they could still hear the maddening rage he was keeping within himself from listening to Maligon for so many centuries.

It was then that a voice spoke from the blue gem upon Water Davis' right hand, which said with an almost robotic, albeit supportive tone. "We still have twenty three hours and fifty seven minutes until the operation will commence, this might be a good opportunity to speak more with our guests and explain our home and our roles within it to them."

"Indeed, thank you, Cybrian." Water Davis said in reply toward his own partner, before looking upon his guests as he then gestured softly. "Please follow me, we will discuss more in private."

"Inform Finubar that we shall be in the Shrine of Tritonius." The Arch-Savant then said to one of the command centre attendants, who nodded in reply.

Extending his right hand toward her, Water Davis kept his smile as Kari took it with her own hand, before he led the group out of the chamber and toward their destination, where many present hoped to learn more about the Water Realm.

.

.

.

Following Water Davis, and ignoring the various small drones which seemed to be scanning them, which the Arch-Savant explained were used a means to collect data on the Digital Lifeforms for the purpose of study, as well as to take in more data which involved the Virus which plagued the Infected, the group eventually arrived within another chamber, a large circular room surrounded by what looked like a massive fish tank, where those new to Nexus watched in awe to see a variety of sea creatures, many with the cybernetics which they had seen upon the Water Realm inhabitants, swimming around, while a few that appeared to be a cross between humanoids and fish moved through the waters and performed maintenance on sections of the Fortress that were within the tank.

With many amongst the group watching the sea creatures move throughout the area, Gammamon seemed the most joyful, the white dragon-like Digimon letting out a happy and joyous cry.

"So many shinies!" He declared, which caused many of the girls to look upon Gammamon with admiration toward his cute sense of curiosity and wonder.

Those new to Nexus then focused their attention upon a large statue that loomed over the room, one of a large and powerful looking dragon, one Kari and the others assumed was Tritonius, the Water Dragon God.

Looking upon the creator of the Water Realm, those new to Nexus saw that the dragon had the lower body of an eel and the upper body of a dragon, with a massive pair of fin-like wings sprouting from his back and a face that looked like a cross between an eel and a dragon, with a fin along the top of its head that rested between a pair of horns and a series of tendril-like appendages that acted as the being's hair.

Two large arms accompanied with fin-like fingers extended from the Dragon God's sides and two large fin blades acted as shoulder pads for the being as the statue showed the same circuitry veins running along its form, giving Tritonius an imposing presence, even if it was just a statue.

Returning their focus upon Water Davis, the group then watched as the Arch-Savant stood before them and brought his left arm up, displaying a holographic interface that appeared from his forearm.

Typing upon a few keys and imputing several commands, various holographic images were then projected around the room and allowed everyone present to see what Water Davis desired to show them.

"As you are all already aware, those of the Water Realm are the Children of Tritonius, the Water Dragon God, who brought life and a sense of purpose to the seas, bringing forth the rise of the seven primary kingdoms that make up the Realm, one of which many of you already know, for the psychic imprint it left upon the multiverse gave rise to the story of a sunken and advanced civilization." The Arch-Savant told those before him, with some within the group widening their eyes as realization hit them.

"Wait, you mean…?!" Izzy began to question, his shock only growing as Fire Davis spoke up in reply.

"The primary kingdom of the Water Realm, and their capital, is called Atlantis." He then told his friends, the reply of Fire Davis shocking and surprising many within the group, who all then looked back upon Water Davis, who nodded his head in confirmation.

"Indeed." He said with a nod toward his fiery counterpart, before refocusing upon Kari and the others.

"From here, the ruling body of the Water Realm, the Council of Logica, which is made up of the oldest of the Cyber Kings, governs the realm according to the will of the Water Emperor." Water Davis told his friends.

"As with the other rulers you have met, the Emperor attends to other matters and leaves ninety eight point seven percent of the day to day operations of the Realm to the Cyber Kings, while the Savants serve as avatars of his will." The Arch-Savant then said, just as the images around the room changed to show various savants and the creatures that served as their companions.

"We savants are the champions and primary researchers of the Water Realm, who are charged with the protection of the realm, expanding our understanding of the universe and are bound to the direct Children of Tritonius, the Cyber Dragons, the Leviathans and the Cyber Avatars, such as my own partner, Cybrian." Water Davis then told the others as the blue gem upon his forehand began to glow once again.

"Greetings to those of the Digital World, to the Arch-Savant's counterparts, their partners and their allies." The Cyber Avatar, Cybrian, said in a monotone voice, expressing his greetings to those around him and before his partner as the Arch-Savant continued his speech.

As she listened to the water variant of her beloved talk, to express such logistics within his voice, his tone almost reminding her of Izzy when he wanted to explain something, Kari felt a small nudge to her right side, shifting her eyes to see Airu leaning in and to then whisper to her.

"Girl, a man that hot should not sound like a robot… he needs to get laid, badly… If you need any help, just ask and I might lend a hand…" The blonde whispered with a mix of urgency and a little mischievousness, Airu's words causing Kari to roll her eyes in annoyance.

While the Dark Empress was more than willing to share her beloveds in order to satisfy and to show her love to them, she would only do so with those she deemed worthy.

A moment later, the conversation came to a halt as the doors to the room opened, where the group then heard a voice speak telepathically as it began to say. 'Arch-Savant, the device you constructed to contain and emit the uranium's energy signature is prepared and…'

Stepping into the room, the being came to a halt as it took in the sight of Water Davis' guests, its eyes lingering upon Fire Davis, Julie and Caleb for a moment, while the newcomers to Nexus took in the creature's appearance.

Roughly the same height as most of the Rookie Digimon and Standard Appmon, the being resembled a blue humanoid child, its body made entirely out of liquid.

Four ear-like appendages came from out of the sides of its head, a pair of curled horn-like ones sprouting from its head and a cyber chip was embedded upon its forehead.

To the presence of Water Davis and the others, the being looked upon all present with its red eyes.

Despite the creature's innocent appearance, however, many within the group, especially the fire champions, the Shadow and Henry, knew better, for they each knew the figure before them was a Cyber King, and an important one at that.

"My friends, may I introduce you to Finubar of the Council of Logica, who is charged with the defense of the Water Realm and leads our defense forces." The Arch-Savant then said as he introduced the Cyber King to the newcomers, who all nodded with a fair respect to the small creature, who seemed both weary and intrigued at the various beings before him, especially toward the Digimon and Appmon, before his eyes landed upon Kari as he took in the human girl who was causing quite a stir within Nexus.

Returning his focus upon Water Davis, Finubar then told the Arch-Savant. "Everything is in place for the operation, but we cannot wait past the original timeline, less the aberration moves on to another area."

Nodding his head in agreement and in affirmation, Water Davis then looked upon his friends and counterparts.

"Once the aberration has been dealt with and a few loose ends are tied up, I will be able to leave and travel with you to meet with the rest of our variants." He informed them all.

Looking upon Takato, Guilmon and the other Infected present, the Arch-Savant then told the group with a tone filled with promise. "I will also then look into a cure for the Virus inflicting all of you, you have my word."

Nodding their heads in reply and trusting the water variant of Davis, the group then turned their attention to Fire Davis, who then questioned with an understanding sincerity within his voice. "In that case, is there any way we can help?"

Seeing Finubar look upon him with suspicion, the fiery variant of Davis then told the Cyber King. "This isn't a matter of Realm politics, an aberration is a threat to all of Nexus, we can't just sit back and let this thing run around freely."

"Likewise, it'll speed up our timeline." Dark Davis then said, the Shadow also desiring to get this over with and to move on with their plans to meet up with his other variants.

Looking around and seeing Kari, Henry, Julie, Caleb and the Digi-heroes and heroines of the DDF and Dark Imperium nodded in agreement and reply, desiring to help as well, Water Davis then turned his attention upon Finubar.

"We still do not have a one hundred percent understanding of the aberration, so any extra firepower would be appreciated." The Arch-Savant said to the Cyber King, adding as he then offered. "It would also be a good opportunity for our researchers to be able to examine the Digimon and Appmon in the field."

Bringing his hand up to his chin, as though in thought, Finubar then questioned. "Most of these creatures do not appear to be aquatic, the pressure alone would kill them, and most of these humans do not appear to be combat worthy."

Their eyes twitching in response to the remark, many amongst the group were about to respond, only for Water Davis to inform the Cyber King with a further logic within his voice. "We can supply them with the energy generators, those will not only allow them to breathe underwater and protect them from the pressure, but allow them free movement and the ability to use their attacks underwater as well."

"As for the humans, modified DSFs from the Oceanic Trade Alliance should be easy enough for them to control and can still be equipped with the proper firepower." The Arch-Savant then commented, his words seemed to intrigue Finubar.

"DSFs?" Takuya curiously questioned in a whisper toward Fire Davis, the Warrior of Fire wanting to have some understanding of what he had just heard.

"Deep Sea Fighters." The fire champion said in reply. "Basically, if jet fighters were made into submarines."

Seeing more than a few having a spark in their eyes as their imaginations ran wild, Fire Davis then focused as Finubar gave his reply and told them all. "Very well, we will make the necessary preparations, the operation commences in twenty one hours."

Nodding in thanks to the Cyber King, Water Davis and his guests then watched as Finubar left the room, while Kari, TK and the others mentally prepared themselves for another battle within Nexus, one where they once again had no true idea what they were getting themselves into.

Author's Note: The group has finally met Water Davis and learned more about the Water Realm, but it seems there is a small issue that needs to be taken care of before they can move on and meet with Light Davis and Nature Davis. How will this upcoming battle turn out? Stay tuned as the adventure continues.

PS: Tritonius' design is based off of Crysd, Sea Dragon God from Duel Masters and Finubar is based on Qurian from Duel Masters.
