The individual known as K chuckled at the uneasy expressions of Takumi, Ami, Nokia, Arata and Yuuko. "Heh. Surprised? You though you kids were the only humans who knew about Digimon?"

"K?" Yuuko thought. "Could it be…?"

"You…you're helping Leopardmon?" Ami asked. "Why?! Don't you know what he's doing to the Digital World?!"

"Honestly, I can't say I care." K replied. "He has his own plans, I got mine. We're just giving each other a helping hand."

"And just what exactly are these goals of yours?" Rosemon asked.

"It's simple. You see there's a certain someone…who's been a thorn in my side for a while now. I think it's high time that someone was taken down a peg."

"Care to elaborate on who this "someone" is?" Arata asked.

"Oh, you'll see. That someone, however, is remarkably strong and cunning. So, to get him out of my way, I also needed power. And thanks to his majesty…" K snapped their fingers. To their left and right, two bursts of light rose up. And two Digimon appeared. One was a massive red alligator with two tails. Another was a woman with pale skin, dark cloths and a gold claw on one of her arms. "I have power that most humans can only dream of."

"Yikes!" Nokia shuddered. "Those two look pretty tough…"

Takumi shuddered. "I don't believe it…"

The female Digimon laughed. "Did you miss us Cyber Sleuths?"

"You two…" Ami cringed.

Arata looked at them. "You know these two?"

WarGreymon did a take. "I-is that…Leviamon?!"

"And…Lilithmon!" MetalGarurumon yelled. "What are two of the Seven Deadly Digimon doing here?!"

"These two?" K asked. "Think of them as my partners. It just so happens that they have a vendetta against two particular people…one of which I hold a grudge of my own against."

"So, wait, it's me or my brother you're after?" Ami asked. "What did we ever do to you? And which one of us was it?"

"Does it matter? Both of you are on a blacklist for these two. They won't hesitate to get rid of you both, and neither will I."

"That's right "detectives"." Leviamon snarled. "I still remember the humiliating defeat I suffered at the hands of both of you."

"Takumi, Ami, who are these two?" Yuuko asked.

"They're members of a very powerful and evil group of Digimon." Takumi replied. "Ami and I defeated them before, but I guess changing the world revived them."

"Tch. It was their energy we sensed." MegaGargomon growled. "No wonder it felt familiar…"

Leviamon laughed. "This time brats, it is you who will be destroyed. You may have been able to beatus one at a time. But two Deadly Digimon at once? Even you have no hope of winning."

"Hey, don't ignore us!" Nokia said. "We're here too and don't think for a minute we're just going to let you pick on poor Takumi and Ami!"

Lilithmon laughed. "Well, isn't that precious. Ah well, as they say, the more the marrier. I'll gladly take time playing with each and every one of you little kids."

"Why did she have to make that sound so creepy?" Yuuko cringed.

Ami sighed. "She does that."

"Whatever." Arata scoffed. "I'm not letting this masked psycho mess with EDEN or the Digital World, I don't care what Digimon he tries to throw at us."

K's Digimon stepped forward. "None of you will stop me! This is it Lilithmon! Leviamon! ATTACK!"

Leviamon roared as a blue circle with a symbol appeared under him. As Lilithmon cackled a green circle with a symbol appeared under her feet. "Here they come!" Takumi said.

"Attack Break Field!"

"Guard Break Field!" Leviamon and Lilithmon made all ten of their Digimon glow as they were weakened. BlackWarGreymon rushed up and started swinging at Lilithmon with his claws, but she deflected them with her gold glove before scratching his torso with it.

"Burst Shot!"

"Catastrophe Blaster!" Diaboromon and MegaGargomon opened fire on Lilithmon and Leviamon.

Lilithmon stepped in front of him and held up her hand. "Mirror Reflection!" She swung her arm and the attacks reflected into Samudramon and Dorugoramon as they charged to attack her.

MegaGargomon charged to throw a punch, but Leviamon jumped with surprising acrobatics and flipped slapping him with his tails. "Ice Archery!" He then knocked Dorugoramon over with a blast of ice. When he turned to face Ophanimon, she stopped charging and held up her shield. Levimona coiled his two tails around her arms and slammed her into the ground.

"Guys, don't take them lightly." Ami said. "The Seven Deadly Digimon are as powerful as the Royal Knights! Maybe even more so!"

Yuuko, Arata and Nokia looked at her in shock. "Seriously?!" Nokia asked.

"I'm afraid it's true." WarGreymon said. "They are the chief nobility in the Dark Area. The most powerful among evil Digimon."

MetalGarurumon cringed. "I can't believe Leopardmon would go as far as to recruit them!"

"Each one represents one of the seven deadly sins." Takumi said. "Leviamon is envy. Lilithmon is-

"Lust?" Arata and Yuuko asked.

Takumi looked at them in surprise. "Uh, yeah. How'd you know?"

Yuuko sighed. "It wasn't exactly difficult to figure out."

"Seriously." Arata cringed looking at her. "I mean who wears something like that in public?"

"You know, it's rather rude to make fun of someone's looks when they're right in front of you." Lilithmon cackled. "Maybe I'll teach you a lesson you, naughty, naughty boy!"

"Stop sounding creepy." Arata cringed.

Ami stepped in front of Arata. "Keep your hands off him you witch!"

Lilithmon laughed. "Oh, lucky you young man! You have a lovely lady to protect you from me!"

"What did I just say?!" Arata glared.

"Guys, we need to focus!" Yuuko said.

"Yuuko's right!" Takumi said. "Both are virus types, so we'll need to attack with vaccines! MegaGargomon, WarGreymon, Ophanimon, focus your attacks!"

The Digimon nodded and flew up. WarGreymon held his hands above his head and red light gathered. Ophanimon held up her javelin and gold light flowed into it. MegaGargomon's shoulders glowed green. "Do you really think we'll just let you?" K asked.

"Everyone, give those three some cover!" Ami said.

"You got it!" Arata replied.

"Ocean Wave!" Leviamon shot a burst of water from his mouth towards WarGreymon. But BlackWarGreymon flew in front of him and blocked it with his Brave Shield.

"Nightmare!" Lilithmon threw a black sphere at MegaGargomon.

"Will-O-Whisp Slash!" Samudramon sent a white wave into the orb, and it exploded before MegaGargomon could be hit. He then sent two more at Lilithmon who dodged then snarled. Leviamon aimed at Ophanimon with another Ocean Wave.

"Dorugoramon, go for his back!" Takumi said.

"Acceleration Boost!" Dorugoramon glowed before charging. "Brave Metal!" He slammed into Leviamon from above making him roar in pain and stopping his attack. Lilithmon was about to throw another Nightmare, but Rosemon slapped her wrist with her whip.

"Ice Wolf Claw!" MetalGarurumon sent a barrage of missiles into Leviamon's legs, freezing them to the ground.

Kazuhamon took a pipe from her belt and aimed it at Lilithmon. "Illuminator!" A black animal spirit flew out and wrapped itself around Lilithmons body keeping her arms at her sides.

Arata grinned. "Diaboromon, let's set them up, shall we?"

"Guard Break Field!" Diaboromon howled and weakened Lilithmon and Leviamon's defenses.

"Attack!" Takumi shouted.

"Now!" Ami yelled.

"Giant Missile!" MegaGargomon launched two glowing shoulder missiles at Leviamon too fast for it to react.

"EDEN's Javelin!" Ophanimon's weapon shot a beam of light that pierced through Lilithmon.

"And here comes the big one!" Nokia grinned.

"Terra Force!" WarGreymon threw a sphere of flame that exploded on both of them. Once it died down, Leviamon was wincing and struggling to stand while Lilithmon was on her knees.

"Alright, it worked!" Ami cheered.

"Now's our chance, let's finish them off!" Arata shouted.

K smirked. "Don't count on it." A screen appeared in front of her, and she made some inputs. Leviamon and Lilithmon glowed. Their health recovered and their power, intelligence and speed increased as they stood straight again. They looked at the three Vaccine Types floating over them and grinned. Leviamon jumped and knocked WarGreymon down with shocking speed. In a flash Lilithmon was in front of Ophanimon and clawed her before both Deadly Digimon slammed into MegaGargomon.

"What the hell was that?!" Nokia asked.

"Some kind of hacking techniques." Yuuko said. "He modified his Digimon!"

"A little trick I learned from someone important to me." K chuckled. "Now then…take these pests down!"

"With pleasure." Leviamon cackled. He rammed his skull into Diaboromon. He turned around as BlackWarGreymon charged towards him with Black Tornado. "Ocean Wave!" He blasted him with a torrent of water. Then he pounced into Dorugoramon and slammed his front feet on him. "Ice Archery!" He then blasted MegaGargomon. When MetalGarurumon charged at him, he smacked him to the ground with his tails.

"Thorn Whip!" Rosemon thrusted the whip on her right arm at Lilithmon who caught it with ease and smirked at her. Rosemon gasped in surprise then threw the whip on her left arm at her, but she caught it with her other hand. Lilithmon laughed as she pulled. Rosemon yelped as she was dragged to the floor by her arms. Lilithmon stomped on her back pinning her to the ground.

"Rosemon!" Kuzuhamon flew towards Lilithmon ready to attack but stopped her staff when the Deadly Digimon held Rosmon in front of her by her arms. "Urk!"

By holding Rosemon's arms and moving them she was able to manipulate her whip. She swung Rosmeon's arm down and she was forced to extend it. "No! Stop!" Rosemon yelled as her thorny weapon tied up Kuzuhamon. Lilithmon laughed keeping Rosemon's right arms still so Kuzuhamon stayed anchored. She moved Rosemon's other arm, so the other whip struck Kuzuhamon repeatedly making her scream with each strike. "Stop it!" Rosemon shouted as she was forced to torture her own ally.

"As you wish." Lilithmon flung Rosemon's right arm up sending Kazuhamon upward then swung the whip holding her down making her crash into the floor. She then finally let Rosmon go kicking her to the floor. When Rosemon got onto her hands and knees, Lilithmon slammed her foot on her head. "You know, it's times like these, I wish I had a whip of my own~!"

"Stop sounding creepy!" Nokia shouted from a distance.

"We get it, you're the Deadly Digimon of lust!" Ami added as Takumi, Arata and Yuuko cringed.

Ophanimon and Dorugoromon charged at Lilithmon from behind, but she simply turned to them and raised a hand. "Hell Crusher!" A blast of darkness hit them both.

"Biting Crush!" Leviamon bit at Samudramon, smashing his armor with his sharp fangs. The Digimon yelled in pain before being throw. "Biting Crush!" He did the same to WarGreymon. "Biting Crush!" His last target was MegaGargomon, chomping on his midsection hard.

Lilithmon laughed as MetalGarurumon, and Dioboromon rushed at her. She took her foot off Rosmon and kicked her towards them then drew a green circle with her hand and a symbol appeared. "Phantom Pain." She blew a kiss into it and a green blast fired into the three of them knocking them to the ground.

K laughed. "Was that really your best?" He looked at Takumi and Ami. "I find it hard to believe that you two actually beat all seven of these guys on your own. Even the two of you combined with Yuuko you couldn't win this fight."

"Ha! They got lucky last time!" Leviamon scoffed.

Lilitmon giggled. "Now, now, let's not pretend that having a "partner" of our own didn't help."

"He's just like the other one…" WarGreymon growled.

Takumi looked at him. "Other one?"

"With my hacking skills combined with you two nobody can match us." K said. "Lord Leopardmon's only concern: the humans that thwarted him last time, will fall here."

Yuuko shuddered. "This is hopeless…"

"Is there really no way to beat this guy…?" Arata muttered.

Takumi clenched his fist. "No. Not yet."

K looked at him. "Hmm?"

"I'm not done yet." Takumi shot a glare with determination and faith clear in his eyes. "Ami and I have been faced with countless challenges again and again. Some of which seemed hopeless." Takumi thought back to all the battles he and his siter fought. Jimmy Ken, Yuugo, Examon, Leopardmon, Lucemon, Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, the Mother Eater… "But no matter how helpless I felt in those situations we pulled through because we never gave up. And do you know why I never give up? Because whenever someone is counting on me or is in suffering…I just can't hesitate."

"Same here." Ami nodded. "I don't want to see anyone pledged with unhappiness. I want to help them overcome their sorrow and pain and help them grow stronger, just as Takumi and I did since the day we lost our dad."

Nokia looked at them. "Your dad…?"

"Right now, it sounds like there are countless Digimon depending on us in the Digital World." Takumi stepped forward. "So, I know what I have to do. I'll step forward and seize my future! And I'll do what I believe is right!"

Ami nodded. "And to that end, we'll see this through! Even if everyone says there's no way, to succeed, I'll make it happen! If all options given to me won't pull me through, I'll make my own! That's what it means to be a master of your own future!"

Nokia smiled. "You're right. I learned a lot from Agumon and Gabumon. And all of you. I'm stronger than I think I am. Everyone is. And if we combine that strength, nothing can stop us! Not Leopardmon, not the Eaters! Not the Deadly Digimon, nothing!" She held up her Digivice. "WarGreymon! MetalGarurumon!"

Ami and Takumi put on their goggles. "Rosemon!"

"MegaGargomon!"

While Rosemon, WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon stood up, MegaGargomon growled as he pried Leviamon's jaws off him and threw him into Lilithmon. The two Deadly Digimon grunted as Lilithmon sat up. "What the…?"

MegaGargomon reverted to Terriermon. "Ha! What was that?" K scoffed. "All that talk just to revert your Digimon to Rookie level?"

Takumi ignored him. "I can feel it…this power is just like when Ami and I stopped Suedou…The power to decide my own destiny!"

Ami closed her eyes. "Alphamon…dad…give us strength. Strength to press forward and find the truth!"

The four Digimon glowed. Takumi, Ami and Nokia saw new Digivolutions options they never seen before on the app. Takumi's showed the Digi Egg of Destiny he got during the trails Mirei set up for him and Ami. Takumi pressed "Golden Armor Digivolution", Ami pressed. "Burst Digivolution" and Nokia pressed "DNA Digivolution".

"WarGreymon!" Wargreymon's body retracted to his head.

"MetalGarurumon!" MetalGarurumon's body retracted into his head.

"DNA Digivolve to…!" The heads spun around each other upward leaving trails of fire and ice. There was a burst of light then a gust of wind. A tall white Digimon with WarGreymon's head for a left hand and MetaGarurumon's for a right donning a white and red cape stood behind Nokia as they folded their arms. "Omegamon!"

Burning orange flame surged into Rosemon and the red flower on her head turned white and her green cape became pink. She raised her arms showing her now black whip as she twirled then held her head up before spinning again and summoning seven pink floating orbs to her side. "Rosemon Burst Mode!"

Terriermon jumped into the air as an explosion of light from Takumi's Digivice enveloped him. "Terriemron Golden Armor Digivolve to…" He became a gold and green sphere as he flew in between Omegamon and Rosemon Burst Mode. That sphere exploded showing Rapidmon. But now his green armor was golden. It had a glowing symbol matching the one on the Digi Egg of Destiny on it. "Rapidmon Armor!" He opened his blue eyes.

The three Digimon glowed. "Heh. Been a while since we saw this." Arata grinned.

Dorugoramon pushed himself off the ground and looked at the three. "Those two are done for now. Rapidmon Armor and Rosemon Burst mode took down the Mother Eater."

Ophanimon watched from her knees. "Yes. This light can overpower any darkness."

Lilithmon and Leviamon hissed as they were blinded. "What is this cursed light?!" Leviamon growled.

"This obnoxious stench of hope…!" Lilithmon snarled.

K stared at the three Digimon. One of them in particular and clenched his fists. "This is…!"

Yuuko stood up. "Takumi, Ami, Nokia…this is amazing. You three once again evolved beyond the Mega Level."

K clenched his fists harder. "No…I won't accept this! Leviamon! Lilithmon! Crush them! CRUSH ALL OF THEM!"

Lilithmon and Leviamon roared as they charged at the Digimon. Rapidmon charged forward first. "Biting Crush!" Leviamon opened his mouth to bite at him again.

"Rapidmon, show him your speed!" Takumi said.

Just as Leviamon's jaws closed Rapidmon vanished and appeared behind him before kicking Leviamon so hard he flew. Rapidmon dashed after him and punched him further. Then he flew up again and slammed him to the ground. He backed away as Leviamon roared. "Ice Archery!" He fired a storm of icicles and Rapidmon dodged them with an unthinkable speed.

Rapidmon then pointed his arm cannons at him. "Rapid Fire!" He shot two missiles with faces. Leviamon screeched as he was hit. As he recovered Rapidmon zoomed in and uppercutted him into the air before flying after him.

Rosemon Burst Mode twirled around multiple black spheres and did a graceful flip into the air. "Hold still you annoying brat!" Leviamon growled throwing more attacks.

"Get her the moment her guard is down!" Ami ordered.

Rosemon twirled into the air over Lilithmon and stopped, floating upside down behind Lilithmon with a hand at her lips and smirked. "Aguichant Lévers!" She blew a kiss summoning pink hearts that blasted Lilithmon. Rosemon flipped and landed gracefully on her feet. "So, you like whipping, do you?" As Lilithmon pushed herself to her knees, Rosemon smacked her with her whip with one hand, then the other. She spun forward like a top whipping Lilithmon repeatedly then swung the whips upward launching her.

Rapidmon threw a ferociously fast series of punches and kicks at Leviamon in the air then punched him forward. With his speed he vanished and appeared behind Leviamon again then spun him around by his tail before throwing him downward into Lilithmon who Rosmeon launched up. When they collided Omegamon kicked Leviamon to the ground, then hammered his arms into Lilithmon who landed next to him. "That's the stuff Omegamon!" Nokia cheered. "Now it's our turn to show off!"

A sword extended from Omegamon's WarGreymon hand. "Transcendent Sword!" He swung and a fiery wave hit both Deadly Digimon blowing them back.

K growled and fiddled with a monitor. "Get back up you two! I'm putting everything I can into your attack power, so you better not lose!"

Lilithmon hissed as they got up. "I don't need you to tell me that! Phantom Pain!"

"Thunder Breath!" Leviamon shot a fiery breath alongside Lilithmon's signature attack.

Omegamon, Rosemon and Rapidmon landed on the ground. "Let's finish this!" Nokia said.

"Hit em with everything you got!" Ami cheered.

Takumi held a fist forward. "Let's show them our true power!"

Omegamon's MetalGarurumon head opened, and a cannon came out. "Supreme Cannon!" It glowed before firring a laser.

Rosemon grossed her arms and the seven Tifaret jewels spun around her, and she glowed with pink aura. "Charite!" She spread her arms and fired a pink blast.

Rapidmon held up his arms. "Golden Triangle!" A gold line stretched from his right hand to his left, then it traveled to his feet then back to his right hand. It formed a gold triangle that fired forward.

All the attacks collided. A shockwave threatened to blow all humans away. K growled and pressed a button. Leviamon and Lilithmon's attacks grew bigger and started to push through the beam struggle. "Say goodbye!"

"Rapidmon, stay strong!" Takumi said. "I'm by your side and not going anywhere!"

"Rosemon, I believe in you!" Ami declared. "We won't lose so long as we're together!"

"Do your best Omegamon!" Nokia cheered. "With our power and love we'll power through!"

"HAAAAAAAAAA!" Rapidmon Armor, Rosemon Burst Mode and Omegamon shouted as their attacks grew and easily blew through Leviamon and Lilithmon's.

"W-what?!" Lilithmon watched in fear at the glowing blast that approached.

"This can't be…happeniiiiiiiing!" Leviamon roared as the two were ingulfed.

As Rapidmon, Rosemon and Omegamon stopped attacking, Takumi, Ami and Nokia smiled. "I knew we could do it!" Ami grinned.

Takumi smiled. "This is the true power of humans and Digimon."

K dropped to his knees. "I can't believe this…"


"Shine of Bee!" In Under Kawloon a giant purple and black beetle roared and let lose a fiery explosion that blew back a Digimon in heady armor with a spear and a shield.

The knight growled as he got his back off the floor. "How is this possible…How can relying on humans give Digimon such strength…?"

The coated teen stepped forward. "I won't let you destroy EDEN!"

The knight stood up. "Tch…I loath to admit it…but this might not be a fight I can win…" He heard a beep. "Hmm?" A monitor opened up in front of him. "…Understood. I'm on my way now." The monitor closed and he looked at the human. "Apologies. But I will be taking my leave."

"Wha…?"

"Consider this your final warning. Stay out of the Next Order's way. There are others even stronger than me. You'll be throwing your life away."

"Wait!" The teenager ran towards the Digimon as he jumped away glowing blue and taking flight. The boy came to a halt. "What was that about?"

MetalSeadramon closed his eyes. "I think he's heading towards Kawloon Level 5!"

"Yeah? How can you tell?" PileVolcamon asked.

"Because I sense something else up there. A great power!"

The boy turned to them. "We gotta go after him! Let's move!" His Digimon nodded.


K angerly punched the floor. "How?! I obtained the most powerful Digimon and I still can't win?!"

"Still can't win?" Takumi asked. "Just who are you?"

K shot a glare at him. "No…I can't be inferior to you! I can't!"

"Hmph." They heard a spear sink into the ground behind them. "What a disgraceful display, K."

Everyone turned around. Yuuko recognized the Digimon clad in blue armor wielding a massive spear and a skull like helmet. "Isn't that…"

Omegamon tensed up at the sight. "Craniamon!"

"Craniamon?" Nokia asked. "Wait, I think I heard that name before…"

"You weren't with us when we fought him." Ami said glancing at her. "But he's one of the Royal Knights."

"What are you doing here?!" Rapidmon asked.

"Is it not obvious? I am here to stop you from bringing unnecessary meddlers into our affairs. We had hoped to eliminate you before you could regain your true power. Though it seems we were too late."

It clicked to Omegamon. "Of course. Claíomh Solais can cut open the fabric of space! After Kuzuhamon opened the gate, you used your spear to open the rift further so all of the Digimon could come in here!"

"Correct."

"You're not getting away with throwing EDEN into chaos!" Yuuko declared.

"I believe it was you humans and EDEN who threw our world into chaos! This is justice!"

"Craniamon, how could you of all people ally with Leopardmon?!" Omegamon asked. "Of all the Royal Knights, you were the most loyal to King Drasil!"

"King Drasil…he is no longer fit to rule the Digital World. After allowing humans to come to our world and sending the Eaters to destroy us, it is clear we need a new ruler. Lord Leopardmon can guide us to a new glorious era."

"I wouldn't count on that while we're around." Takumi said.

"Yeah, in case you've forgotten, we beat you and Leopardmon before." Ami said. "And we just flattened two Deadly Digimon. AT THE SAME TIME."

"Hmph. I have grown stronger since our last encounter." Craniamon coolly replied. "Our new king even more so. That being said, I know that I alone will not be able to best all of you. It seems we have no choice to retreat."

"Good." Takumi said. "Now get out of EDEN and *stay out*!"

K chuckled as he stood back up. "Well, if you insist." Craniamon jumped over Takumi and his friends and landed next to the masked hacker. He swung his spear and there was a bright flash. Then a hole opened up in front of him. One by one Digimon started flying inside. "We'll be taking our leave."

"Enough with these games!" Arata said. "Who the hell are you?!"

K slowly took off his mask. Then they saw blueish hair with a light blue streak and grey eyes. "Someone who's going to take what is rightfully theirs back. In the meantime…Takumi Aiba."

The boy gave him an uneasy look. "Huh?"

"You took someone precious from me…So I'll be taking someone precious from you!"

Before anyone could ask, something green coiled around Ami tying her up. "Ack!" Everyone turned to her. Then Algomon jumped over them holding the vine Ami was tied up with. "KYAAAAAA!" She was dragged over to where K stood.

"AMI!" Takumi yelled.

K smirked as he turned towards the hole. "You want her back? Come find us in the Digital World. I'll be waiting." He stepped inside the hole and vanished.

Lilithmon and Leviamon were limping to the exit. "This isn't over!" Leviamon growled. "Mark my words!" The two of them escaped.

Ami was struggling in Algomon's grip as she was carried towards the gate. "Let me go! Guys, help!"

"Hold on!" Arata shouted as he and Takumi sprinted towards her.

"Let my sister go!" Takumi yelled.

"Takumi, Arata, look out!" Rapidmon Armor yelled.

Craniamon slammed his spear on the ground. "Awesome Quake!" The ground shook and Takumi and Arata fell over.

Ami's eyes grew desperate and terrified. "TAKUMI! ARATA!" Algomon pulled her into the void. Craniamon followed.

"AMI!" Rosemon Burst Mode, Ophanimon and Kuzuhamon flew as fast as they could as the hole started to close. Takumi got back on his feet and hurried. Just as Ami's Digimon went in, it closed shut and vanished.

Everyone was shocked into silence. "…This can't be happening." Arata whispered.

Takumi stopped right in front of where it was. "…No…no…!" He dropped to his knees then his hands. "NOOOOOOOOOO!"

Yuuko looked at her trembling friend. "Takumi…"

Nearby, a young man with a blue jacket was watching with his Digimon. "…Takumi…Ami…"

TyrantKabuterimon growled. "We were too late…"

"Now what do we do? What's going to happen to Ami?"

"First, let's log out." PileVolcamon said. "We need to talk to you about what's going on in the Digital World."


As soon as Yuuko and the others logged out, they noticed Ami was still unconscious. They immediately began to fear the worst. They contacted the hospital, and they had an ambulance come for her. Now they were in the waiting room. Takumi had his head in his hands. Nokia, Arata, Yuuko and Yuuko didn't even know what to say. All they could do was watch him wallow in despair.

That is until a nurse came out to tell them of Ami's condition. And then their worst fears became realized. "This is our first time encountering such symptoms. We're calling it EDEN Syndrome."

"EDEN…Syndrome…?" Yuuko muttered.

Takumi was petrified.

"Takumi…"

"*sniff* Daddy!"

"Listen to me son…please…look after *cough* look after your mother and sister for me…"

"…I *sob* I will daddy…"

"That's my boy…Takumi…Ami…Yukino…I love you…and I always…will…"

Tears rolled down Takumi's cheeks. "Father…I…I failed you…I couldn't protect her…"

Yuuko, Yuugo Arata and Nokia watched sadly as Takumi sobbed. Arata clenched his fists. "Why her? First Yuugo, now Ami?! Is this some kind of twisted joke?!"

Inside Takumi's Digivice Rapidmon Armor, Dorugoramon and BlackWarGreymon sighed. "Damn it all." BlackWarGreymon growled. "We were careless."

"So now what?" Dorugoramon asked.

"I don't want to send Takumi to the Digital World while he's unstable like this." Rapidmon Armor said. "Message Omegamon and the others privately and ask them how they want to go about this." He looked up. "What do they plan on doing to Ami? And who was that other masked hacker? He wasn't the one we saw back in the Digital World…"


And so, concludes the assault on EDEN. The Chosen Ones chased K and his army out. But they took with them a prisoner. What will become of Ami Aiba? Who was fighting the Digimon in Under Kawloon? And what will our heroes do next? All this and more...next week!
