An angry king was also an unpredictable king. He entered the great hall, where three of his generals were already waiting for him. Previously, he had chosen four Digimon, but Gogmamon had been defeated. This happened even though he had given his servant one of Azulongmon's balls in addition. He had used it in battle, but without success. The enemy was stronger than he had assumed. But actually, he should have expected that. These humans had previously been able to defeat the Dark Masters; that alone spoke for their strength./p

He did resemble the appearance of their enemies, but that didn't have to mean anything. He was finely dressed, wore a cloak and a mask, and had two sharp teeth that flashed in his mouth./p

Most of the guests would know about Digimon, so it would be quite relaxed. Her Digimon was looking at the sofa and devouring a pudding that Kari had bought the day before. She herself sat down at her desk and worked on a few things on her laptop. For her training as an educator, she had read various works and was supposed to summarize their contents. She was so focused on it that she was startled when suddenly a loud noise was heard./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;"Gatomon also jumped up and tried to locate the source of the noise. It went to the balcony door, whose handle it could not reach. Kari got up and went to it. She opened the door and stepped out onto the balcony. Grumpily, she found that a vase had fallen over and was now in shards on the ground. That was just what she needed. But strange, the vase had been standing on an edge and it was quite heavy. How had the wind managed to knock it over? Or had it perhaps been a bird? That would have had to be a pretty big one. In any case, she had no choice but to get a dustpan and brush up the shards. When she wanted to close the door again, Gatomon was still standing on the balcony and staring into the night./p

So they withdrew back into the apartment and devoted themselves to other things./p

What are we doing then?", Gatomon finally asked. The young woman smiled. "I actually had something in mind. But it depends on whether the person I want to do something with has time.", she said conspiratorially./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;"It was still early morning when the doorbell rang and Tsubasa pricked up her ears. She hurried downstairs, but her mother was faster than she had been. As arranged, Takeshi was standing in front of the door and was just talking to the latter. Her mother had not seen the boy since their move and was amazed at how big he had become. Fortunately, the girl managed to quickly persuade her to turn her attention to something else so that she could speak to Takeshi alone. He took off his backpack and handed it to his friend./p

Then she said goodbye to him and disappeared with the backpack into her room, always making sure that her mother didn't ask any strange questions. When she arrived there, she felt almost like someone who had bought illegal substances. But when she put down the backpack and freed Rurimon, she felt better. Hebimon came crawling and greeted the comrade./p

He confirmed it. "Yes, I have my book with me. If we manage to find a new ball, I can immediately include it in it."/p

She had made a plan to search places they could search. But she was soon to find out that this plan would be thrown overboard. Her cell phone rang and she was surprised to see Kari's number. She was so unsure that she let it ring three times before she picked up./p

"Hey, do you happen to have time today?", she asked. Tsubasa would have liked to tell her something else, but she revealed her plan to use Rurimon to find the remaining balls. However, this did not seem to be an obstacle for Kari. "I actually wanted to suggest that we go on the search together. What do you say, would it be okay for you if I joined you?"/p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;"For Tsubasa, this came unexpectedly, but there was nothing against it. Finally, she accepted the request and the two made an appointment. "I guess the more of us there are, the more successful we'll be.", murmured the girl and instructed Rurimon and Hebimon to get ready for the outing./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;"20 minutes later, she said goodbye to her mother and left the house. With the train, she soon reached her destination and met Kari as last time during their excursion to Shibuya at the station platform. She was exuberantly hugged and Tsubasa recognized a tail sticking out of Kari's bag. Kari asked about Rurimon and Tsubasa referred to her backpack./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""But where did you leave Hebimon?", she wondered then. Tsubasa grinned and stretched out her arm. A head finally peeked out of her sleeve and it became clear that Hebimon had wrapped itself around her arm. "Practical, isn't it? I can hide Hebimon anywhere on me.", said Tsubasa. Kari laughed. "You're quite a Medusa.", she said. Tsubasa wouldn't have described herself that way, but she had become something of a snake charmer in the meantime. Then she began to talk about her plan, but her companion interrupted her immediately. "I have a better idea. Just come with me.", she said and the DigiKnight nodded slowly. She was quite surprised when she found herself in a shopping mall a little later. "So, where do you want to go first? They have a great café with a pastry shop here. Or should we go up to the first floor to the clothes?", asked Kari. Tsubasa stammered something. "/p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;"Uh... we're going shopping? Didn't we want to look for the balls?", she asked. Kari tilted her head to the right. "Of course. But Rurimon senses the proximity of the balls automatically, right? So there's nothing wrong with us doing other things in the meantime.", she said. Tsubasa was not sure if she could follow this logic. Could it be that Kari was using their search only as a pretext to have a fun day together? No, Tsubasa resisted this thought. Kari was a role model, someone you could rely on without a doubt. She would take her mission even more seriously than the girl herself. Now she simply grabbed Tsubasa's hand and pulled her along. They took the escalator upstairs and looked around in the first clothing store. After the girl had looked at the selection rather half-heartedly, Kari began to pick out a few things for her./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""You have to try this on, I think it suits your eyes.", she handed the girl a dress. She was so exuberant that Tsubasa didn't dare refuse. So she withdrew into one of the changing rooms and tried it on. "Hey, Tsubasa. What are we doing here?", Hebimon wanted to know. The DigiKnight asked her partner for indulgence. Kari would surely have something in mind. Outside, however, she was not quite so convinced and wanted Tsubasa to try on more. In the end, they found something that also appealed to the girl. They visited two more stores before settling down in the restaurant. Rurimon itself had meanwhile fallen asleep, Tsubasa did not expect it to be used much today. She studied the menu and decided on a variant with a lot of cream. Kari wanted the strawberry cake. They were served soon and enjoyed it./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""Do you like the cake? I can only recommend this café here.", said Kari. Tsubasa nodded. "Yes. Only... I somehow have the impression that we haven't achieved much today.", she said quietly. Kari let a strawberry disappear in her mouth. "Oh. Do you?", she asked. Tsubasa nodded. "We haven't found a single ball. Somehow the day was... well...", she said. Kari put her fork aside. "Wasted? Well, I don't see it that way. You had fun, didn't you?", she asked. Tsubasa thought about it for a moment and then confirmed it to her. "There you go. Then we haven't wasted the day. You have to take care of yourself sometimes, the search for the balls won't run away from us.", said Kari. The girl let this go through her head. "Maybe. Only I don't know how to explain this to Takeshi and Shun.", she interjected. Kari shrugged her shoulders. "You don't have to at all. And even if that Digimon in your backpack tells on you, the two of them won't be mad at you for taking a day for yourself. After all, they're your friends and only want the best for you.", she pointed out to her. Then she took a strawberry with her fork and held it out to Tsubasa. Hebimon ventured out of her sleeve and snatched it. "She's right, Tsubasa!", the Digimon replied, chewing. Although this was bribery, Tsubasa still gave her partner a nod. So she began to take the matter more lightly and thanked Kari for sacrificing her time for her. After they had finished eating, they left the building with two full bags. However, they soon had to take a break, as their luggage together with the Digimon was a bit too heavy. Finally, Kari had an idea./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""Hey, let's make a detour to my place. I don't live far away. Let's wait until it gets later, then you won't have to carry the Digimon with you in hiding.", she suggested. Tsubasa liked the idea, which is why they went to the apartment building where the young woman lived. However, Gatomon had already jumped out of its hiding place before they had arrived at the door. "Hey, Gatomon, that's not how it works. You'll be seen.", Kari objected. The cat had raised its head and did not react. "Is... everything okay?", Tsubasa asked. Only after a while did Gatomon turn to them again. "Yes, it's just... that strange feeling from yesterday. Never mind, forget it.", it said. The two decided not to ask any further and Kari unlocked the door. A little later they were in her apartment and drinking coffee. They chatted for a while until it got dark and it was time for Tsubasa to go. She said goodbye and thanked her once again for the day. She had to promise Kari to repeat this day soon. Outside, she let Rurimon out of the backpack, which walked alongside her on its own. In the coming night, it would probably be mistaken for a cat anyway. Hebimon had climbed up Tsubasa's upper arm and hissed in her ear. "This Kari and Gatomon are really nice. Don't you think?", it asked. His partner confirmed it to him./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""Yes, I hope to do something with her again soon.", she was determined. Kari was already stretching both arms into the air and decided to go to bed early. The outing with Tsubasa had been fun. It was better if she didn't take her task as a DigiKnight too seriously. The time with a Digimon partner didn't consist only of fighting, many had taken longer to understand this circumstance. She stroked Gatomon, which still seemed a bit absent./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""Shall I brush your fur properly today? You've spent the whole day in this tight bag.", she asked. But the cat objected. "Let's skip it. Do you mind if I go out and get some fresh air?", asked Gatomon. Kari was a bit surprised, but had nothing against it./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""As long as you're not seen by anyone, sure."/p

Admittedly, not many cats walked on two legs, but at least the meowing her partner had pretty much down /"I'm just going up to the roof for a moment, don't worry," it said, and Kari gave her OK. But as it went out into the hallway, she began to worry a little about her partner. It had been acting strangely since yesterday. Some feeling had come over Gatomon, but it couldn't quite name it. Kari decided that everything would probably work out for the best and stepped into the bathroom to take a shower. She threw her clothes into a basket and reached for the shampoo. A little later, she was already enjoying the pleasant stream of water that helped her immediately to relax from the strenuous shopping day. She turned off the water and reached for a towel to dry off. She stepped out of the shower and looked around for her hairdryer. It was simply lying in the sink and Kari took care of her hair. Since she had let it grow a little longer, the effort was a little greater. However, she did not complain, a little change could never hurt. Kari paused for a moment when she saw a shadow in the mirror. However, she dismissed it as a reflection. The next moment, she felt that it was getting colder in the bathroom. Was this also just an illusion? In the next moment, she had to realize that she should have listened to her instinct or rather to Gatomon's feeling. She was startled when suddenly a hand was placed over her mouth from behind. She dropped the hairdryer, which fell to the floor and stopped working. "Not a sound, little human. Do you understand?" a deep, almost sinister voice whispered in her ear. Kari thought about whether she should defend herself, but something gave her great fear. She had the feeling that the intruder was not a human. For she was still staring into the mirror in front of her. Actually, she should have been able to see the reflection of the attacker behind her in it. But... he had none./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;"Gatomon had meanwhile entered the door to the roof. Once again, the same feeling as the night before came over it. Something had been up here. Gatomon could still feel its aura. It was familiar to him and caused sadness in him. The last time it had felt something like this was... but no, that couldn't be it. Its greatest concern, however, was confirmed a short time later. Black creatures fluttered down from above and Gatomon was just able to jump to the side. It now recognized several bats that were after it. It opened its eyes wide. No, this couldn't be real. They had defeated the one it was thinking of at the moment 10 years ago. And yet... these bats were not made of flesh and blood./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;"When Tsubasa looked at the clock on her cell phone, she realized that she had taken quite a bit of time. She hoped that her mother was not too angry. Tomorrow there was no school, but Tsubasa had promised to actually return much earlier. She could not have known that she would forget the time on her excursion. In retrospect, she was glad that she had not simply followed her plan. Even if Rurimon was surely a little angry that it had been quasi misused. Tsubasa decided to apologize to the Digimon. She was just about to do so when the little dragon stopped. "We have to go back!" it said. Tsubasa furrowed her /"Why? Did you forget something?" Rurimon shook its head. "No, I'm sensing a ball. The energy is coming from the direction we came from!" Hebimon looked at it skeptically. "Are you sure? Maybe you're mistaken. And why should it be noticeable now and not before?"br /That, however, Rurimon could not answer. But one thing was certain, it was absolutely sure. Tsubasa thought for a moment about what she should do. If she went back now, she would definitely not get home until late at night. The trouble was pre-programmed. Finally, she pulled out her cell phone and wanted to ask Kari to take care of the matter. She let it ring several times, but she did not answer. Was she just in the shower and not hearing it? There was nothing else to do. Tsubasa decided to turn back and Rurimon ran ahead. After a few minutes, they were out of breath as they arrived at the apartment building. An older woman was just leaving it, which allowed Tsubasa to simply enter the inside. Also, that this woman saw Rurimon, she did not care about at the moment. She went up to Kari's apartment and rang the bell. Also, without success. Now she was slowly beginning to /"Tsubasa!" Hebimon hissed and pointed to something. The girl turned to the stairs and saw Gatomon coming down. To her horror, it seemed to be injured. "What happened?" she wanted to know /Gatomon gasped for /"He... he's back. I don't know how, but he's back."br /Tsubasa, however, did not understand a word. "Back? Who?" Gatomon pulled itself /"Myotismon! He's after Kari! Out of the way!" The little cat tried to open the door. When this did not work, it used an attack to break it open. Its partner would surely forgive it later. The group entered the inside of the apartment. It was empty, no trace of Kari. They searched the whole apartment and found evidence of a struggle in the bathroom. It was Tsubasa who finally discovered a clue. On the bed lay a red card on which something was written. "I have the DigiDestine. If you want her back alive, bring Azulongmon's rebirth and its book to the parking garage 300 steps east of here." she read aloud. Gatomon hit the /"This is all my fault. I left Kari alone and he was able to get her!" Tsubasa could not believe that she had actually been kidnapped. But it could have happened to any of them if the enemy was after Rurimon. Gatomon now turned to it. "You have to come with us." The little dragon shied back uncertainly. "Don't worry, of course we're not going to hand you over. But we have to pretend so that nothing happens to Kari-san." Tsubasa tried to make it clear. Rurimon nodded. "Yes, you're right. If the enemy has one of the balls, we have to try to get it back." it was certain. "But... shouldn't we get reinforcements first?" Hebimon interjected. His partner agreed with him. But who should they inform? Takeshi was with his grandparents, he was out. Shun had tutoring today, but should be home by now. But his parents were so strict that they would not allow him to go out again at night. Especially not without a plausible reason. "Inform T.K." Gatomon finally said and Tsubasa nodded. She called him and informed him about the situation. He promised to catch up with them as soon as possible. However, they were aware that they did not have the luxury of waiting for him. The enemy had Kari in his power and if they did not hurry, it could get quite uncomfortable for her. However, they would be running straight into his /"Hey, Rurimon! You can sense the energy of the balls, right?" Tsubasa asked, even though it was now obvious. Hebimon realized, however, that she was getting at something. "We'll just approach from a different direction. We'll surprise the enemy. But.. we need someone to distract him." she murmured and looked at Gatomon. The enemy knew about Kari's partner and about Rurimon. But he could not be sure how many people would actually show up. However, Gatomon immediately /"No problem, leave it to me! I will definitely save Kari!" it was certain. When everything was settled, they set off and parted ways halfway there. Rurimon was able to immediately determine where Myotismon and Kari were located. They could approach him from behind. However, it would not be easy./p

Myotismon had tied her hands, but not her legs. However, escaping was not an option, the Digimon would have caught her immediately. Its goal was clear, even without it saying so. It could only be after /"I'm surprised that you're working for someone else other than yourself. And then for someone who calls himself king. You wouldn't have done that before." she tried to provoke him. Myotismon just looked at her /"Before? Have we met before?" it asked /Kari paused. Then a suspicion came up in her. This, however, she could not check and it would not have helped her. The others would be here soon to save her. Probably, they had called for reinforcements, but all those who were in question did not live around the corner. The only DigiKnight who was still in the area was Tsubasa. Kari would have liked to slap herself in the face. She had wanted to give the girl a nice day and now she was putting her in danger instead. A Digimon attack could happen at any time, that was the sad /Myotismon was now listening and footsteps could be heard. A small figure had entered the parking garage. "Gatomon!" Kari called out excitedly. It was actually her partner who had dared to enter the lion's den. Myotismon just /"Woe to you if you have harmed Kari. Then you will regret it!" it angrily shouted at the enemy. The vampire stretched out his hand. "That depends on you. As I see, you don't have the book with you. Do I have to assume that you don't want to keep the deal and I can suck the little human dry?" The provocation worked and Gatomon rushed forward. Myotismon effortlessly dodged and slammed the cat against a concrete pillar. It held its painful /"Gatomon, in this form you have no chance against him!" warned her partner. But the Digimon did not want to listen. "I know that! But... in this form... he has mistreated me for years. I am used to it." Myotismon, however, just raised an /"Mistreated? What are you talking about? Have we met before?" it wanted to know. Gatomon stared at the enemy angrily. "What are you babbling about? You have mistreated me for years and then made me your slave! I will never forgive you for that! And what you did to Wizardmon, even less." But still, there was no reaction from Myotismon. This confirmed Kari's suspicion from /"Gatomon, he doesn't remember! she called out to her partner. The cat-Digimon looked at her perplexed. "Don't you understand? After the reboot, we found you before Myotismon could. That's why he has never encountered you from his perspective. He doesn't remember what he did to you or the others." it took a while for Gatomon to make sense of it. "Re...membered. He has...forgotten?" Immediately, the memories came back to the Digimon of how Myotismon had beaten and tormented it. And how it had torn Wizardmon to pieces. All that... was Myotismon supposed to have simply forgotten? If these memories would haunt it itself forever? "How can you...forget something like that?" it angrily attacked the enemy again. This time, it managed to scratch his cheek with a lightning paw. But that only made the enemy angrier. He grabbed Gatomon and squeezed its /"Gatomon!" Kari cried out desperately. It was impossible for her partner to free himself. But he didn't have to, fortunately. "Venom Axe!" Myotismon was hit from behind and was thrown away, freeing Gatomon from his grip. A frightening cobra appeared out of the darkness, and behind it a blonde-haired girl and a small dragon came into view./p

You mustn't underestimate him!" Kari warned. The memories of Myotismon easily defeating Ultra-Digimon were too clear. The vampire now opened his coat and let his bats attack Sandiramon. They swarmed around it and bit it hard. Tsubasa rushed to Kari and freed her from her bonds. She rummaged through her pocket and suddenly held something in her hand. "Here, I brought this for you," she handed it to her. Kari took it and recognized that it was her Digivice. Immediately, her mood brightened. She got up and checked Gatomon's condition. "Hey, are you okay? Can you... fight?" But for her partner, this seemed to be a matter of course. It got up and faced the enemy. "Kari... please... give me your strength." The DigiDestine nodded and raised her Digivice./p

Angewomon!" Tsubasa was amazed when the little cat suddenly turned into a beautiful angel. While the bats were still gnawing at Sandiramon, Angewomon drew a bow out of nothing. "Arrow of Light!" it fired its attack and the arrow hit Myotismon directly in the shoulder. He cursed and was boiling with rage. He thought for a moment, then retreated. He fled from the parking garage and his bats also dissolved./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""We can't let him get away, Kari!" Angewomon said clearly. Her partner was aware of this and followed Angewomon, who flew outside. After Tsubasa had convinced herself of Sandiramon's integrity, the two of them also followed. Outside, Myotismon had stopped in the meantime. He was apparently more badly wounded than expected. Angewomon wanted to attack again, but the vampire seemed to have another trump card up his sleeve. He pulled a blue ball out of his coat and grinned. Rurimon was the first to realize the misfortune./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""Oh no! He wants to use the power to make himself stronger!" it warned. Myotismon bit into the ball and swallowed it like a morsel. It began to glow and deform. "Damn it, we couldn't prevent it! Will it now become VenomMyotismon? Or even MaloMyotismon?" Kari feared. The enemy laughed and became bigger and bigger. Soon, a house-high, lilac-colored colossus stood before them. "Not quite, but you may call me NeoMyotismon."/p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;"Even Sandiramon now let its head hang down./p

Its partner clenched her fists. "Now don't let yourself be discouraged! It's only gotten a little bigger!" she didn't want to give up so quickly. NeoMyotismon extended its claw and let it descend on its opponents. Sandiramon was just able to push Tsubasa away and Angewomon protected Kari with its body. Afterwards, it flew up and shot an arrow at the monster. However, this dissolved immediately. Myotismon had become too powerful. It extended its claw again, which grabbed Kari. "I will prove to the king that I am his strongest general. For that, I will crush you all!" it threatened. Sandiramon used its Gift-Axe against one of its legs, but this unfortunately caused hardly any damage./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;"NeoMyotismon now gripped tighter and Angewomon screamed in pain. It seemed to be making good on its threat and crushing the Digimon. At least until it was hit by another attack. A beam of light hit it and it stumbled backwards. It let go of Angewomon, who fell to the ground. Tsubasa looked up and recognized another angel. But this one seemed more masculine and kept the enemy at bay for the moment./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""Kari! Are you okay?" a voice sounded from the nearer distance. Someone was flying towards them and Tsubasa recognized in the darkness only at second glance that it was T.K. He had made it in time after all. "Yes, I'm uninjured. But we're in a pretty tight spot." she replied. T.K. didn't seem to see it that way, however. "No, Myotismon is alone as usual. That's why he'll lose again as usual. Angemon will distract him and you and Gatomon will give him the rest. Got it?" He reached out his hand to her and helped her up. Angewomon also seemed to be fit again and ready for the fight. Kari raised her Digivice and helped her partner to the next level. "Angewomon Mega-Digitation touuu... Magnadramon!" Tsubasa was amazed when the beautiful angel turned into an even more beautiful dragon. This one now flew into the skies. This time, it was Magnadramon who saved Angemon from a devastating blow by NeoMyotismon./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;"The colossal enemy laughed, however. "Haven't you understood it yet! I am now invincible!" Magnadramon seemed to see it differently and flew directly towards his head. It opened its mouth and shot a beam of light from it. The big vampire was hit and fell backwards. The place on his head smoked and he seemed to have lost parts of his sight. "Myotismon, you have been plaguing the DigiWorld for far too long. This time, you will be punished once and for all for your deeds. Firestorm!" Another beam left its mouth, this time jagged and it seemed to hit the enemy in several places of the body at the same time. When NeoMyotismon dissolved into data, it was no longer laughing. Soon, nothing was left of it and the victory went to the DigiKnights. Magnadramon landed again and turned back into Gatomon. Angemon and Sandiramon did the same a little later./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""Kari... I am... exhausted..." the cat-Digimon let itself down in front of her. Kari stroked it gently on the head. It had really given everything. "I'll take you home now. Your mother will be terribly worried." T.K. also turned to Tsubasa. She wrinkled her nose./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""I have no idea what I'm going to tell her. She's sure to freak out." he assured her, however, that they would find a suitable excuse. Kari was the first to be dropped off at home. Her friend even helped her to repair the door, which Gatomon had previously damaged. It wanted to apologize, but Kari put a finger to its mouth. That was not necessary at all. Gatomon had not hesitated to come to her aid immediately. But now the nightmare was over. Myotismon was defeated once and for all. The only thing that still worried her was that his boss would not just give up. But that was a problem for another day. She said goodbye to Tsubasa and hugged her once more. The girl herself let T.K. take her home and pretended to her mother that she had a car breakdown. Afterwards, she fell completely exhausted into bed. Rurimon and Hebimon also crouched together on a sleeping place. Before she fell asleep, she wondered how long it would be before she and Hebimon would be as strong as T.K. or Kari./p
