Bloodline: Descendants of the Digidestined

Chapter 1: Paradise Lost

Prologue: Takeru, now 53, tells of what has happened ever since. "After the Great War with Obliviomon, the worlds became peaceful. Evil was no more. Mimi had annihilated him, insuring he would never return. Life grew quiet. Lewis returned to Washington to run things, Daisuke, myself, and the others used our new abilities to stop Arachnemon in her tracks and help Black Wargreymon find the Digimon that he pursued from Holy Stone to Holy Stone and our future purpose, just to discover that the Holy Stones were only just big black rocks and nothing more. Afterwards, things were so quiet that we just stopped going to the Digital World to fight. In fact, Elecmon said that ever since Obliviomon was destroyed, no new Virus digimon have been born at Primary or Secondary Village. Our lives became average, except for Lewis, who still remained the target for Congress and the military, especially in 2008 when Lilymon became President. During her 8 years, they had 2 more children, and apparently, their last two children, Ivy and Rose. Also, she was the target of two government contract hits and a frame-up scandal by Congress. Fortunately, Jill and Agent Vicks overheard the plans and retrieved the evidence. Congress was ruined and most members either fled the country or were arrested. After she left office, our lives again was quiet except for the occasional tours by Yamato or the publicity gigs we did for companies and 30-second spots. Yamato followed his dreams of being a rock star, and is doing fine, though Lewis still claims he's no Creed. Araiya is now his wife and works with his crew on booking gigs and as the group's accountant. Gabumon still runs the group tightly as Yamato's manager. Taichi went on to be a soccer great and is sometimes called 'The Pelé of the 21st Century.' He still plays today. Amazing, my hair is graying and he hasn't aged a day. Same is true for Sora. We all though she'd end up with Taichi, but we were all surprised when she got a crush on Izzy. That crush grew into a wedding 5 years later. She has now taken the education she got from universities and Lewis and went into politics. For many years, she has held an office in the Japanese Diet. Just recently, Sora decided to do something with herself and ran for Prime Minister of Japan, and won!! That was back around 2036, and she has now since retired for a bit after her second term. Jou went on to theater. Yeah, we were all surprised too, but Jou followed the advise of his brother and went out to find a calling, after he became disillusioned in medical school. Lewis sat there mocking him and taunting him incessantly. Finally, just to spite him, he got up the courage to go perform on a stage one day, and found he had a knack for it, especially farces, spoofs, and comedies. His own clumsiness now is his best friend, since he uses a lot of physical comedy. Miyako took the reigns of her parents' convience store and rode it to international power. Now, for every Starbuck's, 7-11, and Kinko's, there is one of her stores. Jou and Miyako sorta, well, made the ultimate odd couple. You couldn't see them together, but you also couldn't see them apart. They got together and hitched. During the reception, they tripped over each other and into the wedding cake, and then the punch, and then into the band. Their wedding clothes still has all the stains and rips all of that left. Her younger self, Yolei, was about the only one other than me that we could peg their destiny. She ended up with Ken, and I won a lot of money from that bet. Mimi also went into acting, but on the big and small screens. She is best known for her drama, but one of her films re-energized the dying action genre. She's also done comedy as well, but usually it's on TV or for an independent filmmaker. Mimi ended up with Taichi after hearing how much he cared for her in 2004. She also still works in time to do fashion shoots. She too has not aged a day, and according to doctors, she won't even age a day until the year 2101 because of all that life energy she absorbed in that final fight. They say that for every 10 years she lives now, she'll only age one day. That means her 19th Birthday (Physically, this is) wouldn't be until the year 5642!! Most of us would be mulch, and Taichi, Sora, Lewis, Lilymon, and their children would all be in rest homes and she would still have 20 some odd more years of true youth!! Now I just feel envious. At least because of that burst of Life Force during that last fight, the rest of our life spans are now twice as long. Well, like Ken and Yolei, Hikari and me were pegged. Since we met, everyone knew we were meant for each other, and they were right. I do computer programming, and Hikari is a photographer.

All of us besides Lewis had only one child, and strangely enough, except for Jou and Miyako, all our children were girls. Now all of them have gotten married and have had children. We're grandparents. Many people claim there's something special about these kids, especially Lewis's granddaughter, but no ones knows what that special thing is. Today, we're going to commememorate 41 years of peace and the 100th Anniversary of the end of World War 2."

Sunday, 10:40 PM, December 24th, 2034: A hospital hallway can be seen. Then, rushing down it is a medical team with a stretcher. The lead surgeon says, "This woman is in labor!! We have to get her to an OB stat!!" Another says, "We just can't ignore the wounds!! This woman isn't going to live if we don't treat these wounds!!" The surgeon says, "The safety of the baby is a priority. It has a higher chance of dying in the womb than if the mother died from her wounds. Triage, man, triage!! She was able to walk in on her own power. Most of her wounds are abdominal." They ride up an elevator. The lower surgeon says, "Can't we at least do something for them both?" The lead surgeon goes, "Okay, we'll get a second team in, but we can't give her any drugs to treat the poisons we found in her wounds until the baby is out. We'll probably have to perform a cesarean!!" They rush in, and after an hour and 21 minutes of surgery, they free the baby and clean her off. "Strange. The woman is only half human, but there are no physical traits to be seen on her child." The lead surgeon documents. A nurse comes in. "We got a positive ID on the Jane Doe. We called her family and their here. Entering the room is... "President Wick?" Lewis goes, "Former President. Where is she?" Except for the fact his hair is now silver, he looks the same. The surgeon takes him, Lilymon, and her sisters to her. Holding the baby is her mother. The nurse asks, "What's her last name?" Lewis says, "Well, she married that ass. It was Wick, but now it's Fallon." "What's the mother's first name?" The mother says, "Holly. Holly Wick Fallon. I want her name to be Lily, in honor of my great mother." She turns to Jill and hands Lily to Jill. "Don't let that bastard Lance get Lily!!" She rubs Lily's face. "I don't know why, but he wants her destroyed. Take her...." Her hand falls down and the EKG shows a flatline. "Clear!!" They charge her heart with paddles, but no result. They try CPR, but nothing. After about 10 minute of trying, the surgeon closes her eyelids and notes the time, 12:10 AM, December 25th, 2034.

Saturday, September 2nd, 2045: Sora is at a podium in front of Heighten View Terrace. She shows no signs of aging since 2004, but her hair is now red. "And as we remember those who lost their lives a hundred years ago, we can also look upon the bright future the worlds have toghether. From war, technology and peace have been made. Even now, we can now send people to Mars, and we have, with the help of the digimon, pressurized the surface and began attempts for colonization. I hope this peace lasts another 100, and then some." She steps down and sits in a chair. Another guy comes up and says, "That again was Former Prime Minister Sora Izumi. Now, two very special guests are here today. First is one of them. He was the former President of the United States from 2001 to 2009, and a fellow digidestined. Please welcome Lewis Wick." Lewis gets up and dahes to the podium. He also looks exactly the same, except his hair has gone silver. He looks at the band. "Don't EVEN think of playing 'Hail to the Chief.'" A musician lifts his trumpet. "Bah!!" Lewis scares the player. "Bah, la, la bu yeah, ra, blah, blah, blah, boing zoot!!" The player lifts his trumpet again. "Woop woop woop, niki, niki, burah, blah, rupa!!" People are beginning to question Lewis's sanity. The musician lifts his trumpet again and is about to play. "Bah ra bah!!" He jumps, then tries again. "Bah!!" He jumps again. "Bah!! That was a pre-emptive BAH!! Just letting you know I have a whole bag of BAH!! with your name written on it." The musician looks at him and then quickly flips his horn and starts playing 'Hail to the Chief.' Lewis grabs a high heel and throws it at the trumpet player. Sora yells, "Hey, Lewis, that's my shoe!!" It whacks the trumpet guy on the head, knocking him out cold. "Now that's all done and over with, we can move on." He flips through the pre-written speech, tearing out pages. "Crap, crap, crap, crap...... Who the hell wrote this? It's all crap. I'm just sitting up here, and I'm to basically end up saying what Sora said. That's a fine how-do ya-do!!" Everyone laughs. "This speech guy is such a tightwad and brown-noser. I mean, all this dribble is is a suck-up speech, and I don't do ass-kissing. I also don't do politically correct. This is what I think of this speech!!" He flips off the writer and is about to pull down his pants when Sora stops him. "We get the idea Lewis." She says. Lewis buttons up his pants. "Well, if you need me, I'll be over there." He goes to the port-a-potty at the nearby area being renovated. "Ahhhhhh........ Ohhhh!!!! This speech is so absorbent!!" They hear from the port-a-potty. They look at it when the announcer goes, "Well, give it up for Mr. Wick!!" A few people clap. A girl, about 13 and dressed in old dingy clothes and has long dark blonde hair, with two meatball like buns and ponytails atop the majority of the rest of the hair hanging down, yells, "You go Lewis!! Tell them!! Show the fuzz who's boss!!" Guards take her away for making a disturbance. Lewis comes out and says, "Girl, what's your name?" The girl goes, "Sakiko." "Well, Sakiko, does that come with a last name too?" Sakiko goes, "My surname is Doi." Lewis goes, "Well, Miss Doi, I like your spirit. Liberious, free willed.... You remind me of Sora. Why don't you join us?" The guard says, "She's a master grifter and pickpocket. She's just trying to con you." Lewis looks at him. "I said, 'She's joining us!!' I don't care if she swiped the Voyager satellite that went missing in the '70s and has it in her room as we speak, you let her go and leave her be!! Release or I'll clobber you with this high heel!!" Sora yells, "Lewis, give me back my other shoe!!" The guard releases her. "If you lose anything, then it's your fault. Don't say I didn't warn you." Sakiko looks at him. "Thanks, Lewis!!" They go on the stage. The announcer says, "Well, now we can continue. Our other guest is one of the wealthiest men on Earth, and by sheer coincidence, was Lewis's son-in-law. Here is Lance Fallon, President of Kobyashi Maru Software!!" Lance gets up. He has reddish-brown tinged hair, brown eyes, a thin beard and mustache (Sorta-like Johnathan Frakes's a.k.a. Commander Riker's beard), super-muscular, if not almost steroid-induced muscles, and stands at 7 feet tall. He speaks, and his voice like Folken Stratigo's voice. "We are glad that we have all learned to live in peace. No more bloodshed, no more tyranny. We can all...... What the!!" The sky turns a dusk color as hundreds of thousands of troops blasted out from the digiport behind them. Flying digimon screamed out and bombarded the platform. People screamed and ran, but many were being slaughtered. Biyomon flies out from the crowd. Sora yells, "I thought you couldn't make it, Biyomon!!" "Well, things change!!" Sora pulls out her EDI. "Biyomon!! Warp Digivolve!!"

"Biyomon Warp Digivolve to Aviamon!!"

Sakiko watches huddled next to Lewis and goes, "Wow....." A digimon lands on the podium, smashing it. Lewis tells Sakiko, "Stay here!!" He leaps up, kick flips off the towering digimon, bounces off a piece of wood in the air that was part of the podium, Warp Digivolves, and hits him with his twin lightsabers. Then, while still in the air, he stabs the sabers into the digimon, flips using the handles, and hurls him into a group of attackers. Aviamon flies overhead.

"Flame Tornado!!"

She spins around and swallows many of the fliers in the flames. Then she falls down and reverts to Birdramon. "Sorry, Sora. I'm just rusty." Lewis says, "There's just too many. We need to get out here!!" He looks at Sakiko. "Where do you live?" Sakiko goes, "In Shinjuku!!" Lewis nods his head.

"Hypertomorrowsapien Teleport!!"

They are all teleported to her home. It's a low budget project. Lewis reverts to normal. "You stay inside where it's safe, and.... here's your wallet back." Sakiko looks in shock. "Don't you know that you can't pickpocket me? When you did it to me back when you were huddled with me, I pickpocketed you before we teleported." Sakiko jaw drops. "You.... Pickpocketed..... ME!!" Lewis goes, "Yep, and when you said that, I did it again." He throws her wallet back to her again. "Go on!! Get inside, where it's safer. So you got grifted by someone even better than you. Big deal." Sora and Lewis hop on Birdramon's feet. "Let's get to the others, Birdramon!!"

At a lodge outside of Tokyo, Jill recieves a phone call from Taichi. "Lewis told me all about it. I'll be right there. Oh, and Taichi, can you convince your granddaughter to come and watch Lily here while we're gone?" Taichi on the other end says, "She could make it. Let me check." Taichi, now 56, but doesn't look a day past 16, and still has his same old hair, now orange from his exposure to the Life energy, and goggles, goes to a girl that has ridged maple leaf-like wings, and thorned vine for a left eyebrow, a vine growing out of her left shoulder and down wrapped around her arm, ending with a sunflower on the back of her left hand. Also on her left hand, her fingernails are green, vinelike, and longer than her others. Otherwise, she looks like a regular 15 year old teenager with green eyes and wearing a pink tanktop with two small white stripes outlining a golden stripe on her chest, and pants that almost look like they're khaki, and sandals on her feet. Taichi goes, "Hey, Keiko!! Jill wants to know if you'll watch Lily for her. Will you do it?" Keiko turns and says, "I'll be glad to!!" Taichi goes on the phone, "She'll do it. She should be there soon." Jill goes, "Okay, bye." Taichi looks out the window and watches Keiko fly off the balcony. Mimi comes out of the kitchen. Taichi goes, "I wish she wouldn't do that." Mimi goes, "I can't wait until she turns 16 and gets a car. Her jumping out of windows like that is scary. I don't want any granddaughter of mine to jump out of windows and flying around until they're 20."

Keiko arrives at the lodge about twenty minutes later. Jill leaves. Keiko talks to Lily. "So, what do you want to do?" Lily gets up. She, although her mother being only half human, has no non-human qualities except for her naturally green hair, which is medium length. She is wearing jean shorts and a long sleeve green shirt. Around her neck is a gold necklace with a golden oval, and offset (Closer to the top) is a smaller deep-green emerald with what looks like a rainbow-like teardrop inside it. Under the gemstone is a beautifully crafted flower design with little miniture topazes and rubies in it. Above it is a holly wreath adorning the jewel. On the large bottom section of the golden oval is the unmistakable engravement of the Crest of Sincerity. Lily goes, "Not much." Keiko asks, "Where did you get that?" My aunt Jill told me it was my mother's. She tells me that she found it on the street one night on a business trip to Houston, and since no one claimed it, she kept it for herself. One night, she went on a vacation with my dad and she had left it here. Aunt Jill says their plane crashed in the Pacific and no one survived. She took me in and gave me my mom's necklace. Ever since I lived with her, when I ask about my parents or what she does, she always tries to change the subject. Do you know what she does, Keiko?" Keiko thinks hard. "I think she says she works as a public relations firm." Lily thinks to herself, "Why would someone in PR have to leave so much?" She starts, "Why won't anyone tell me what she does!! No fair!!" She goes storming out through the door. Keiko chases after.

Meanwhile, at Izzy & Sora's house, the other digidestined meet. Iori goes, "This better be important. I was supposed to give my finest student one of his final tests." Araiya walks over to him and towers above him. She is 5' 10" and with teal hair but otherwise looking much the same, and he is an even 5' and is virtually bald and has a silver goti. "Hey, that student you're talking about is my grandson. I still don't approve of Tetsuo taking all these martial arts and meditation lessons from you. You're making him into a hippy. Each day, he reminds me more and more of Lewis!! He should quit this crap and focus on more important things." Iori says, "What may be important to you may not be important to him, and vice versa." Lewis adds, "Besides, what's wrong with him being like me? I like the lad." Araiya charges angrily, "Because I can't stand you!! You, you, lazy free-loader." They are at each other's necks when Andromon breaks them up. Araiya takes a swing at Lewis. Lewis sits back down and lays back. "You're just mad that you can't think as clearly as us. You're envious of your own grandson's enlightenment. Remember, when Iori finishes teaching Tetsuo, I agreed to teach him the ways of the world. Like it or not, your grandson wants to be like me." She charges at him. Taichi yells, "Enough you two!! We can talk Tetsuo later. Right now, we have to find out why all those digimon and people attacked, and where did all those Virus types come from." Hikari stands up. She doesn't show any age marks and her hair is still as pink as the day they fought Obliviomon. Hikari goes, "I thought we destroyed all the Virus digimon or re-configured all the good Virus digimon, like Ogremon, Wormmon, and the Gekomon, to Data 41 years ago." A figure stands up. It's Ken, and his hair is now auburn, and he has a full beard, and the beard slowly changes to silver as it nears his chin. Ken goes, "Maybe someone created them. Look at what happened with Chimeramon." Miyako continues on after Ken. She has switched to contacts and has red hair. Miyako says, "Yeah, or something like that incident I told you guys about with Diablomon that would have happened in 2000. Maybe Willis making him was inevitable. Maybe he's loose." In walks Izzy. He, besides a couple of wrinkles on his face and hands, and purple hair, he looks like he always has. Izzy says, "If that was so, then we would notice errors on the internet. It would totally ruin my new T7 900 MB per Second modem." Iori says, "Isn't the international maximum 56 KB?" Izzy goes, "Where have you been? 56 KB was done away with years ago." Mimi says, "The only way we're going to find out what's wrong is if we stop bickering and go to the Digital World." Taichi says, "Well, let's go!! Wait, where's Daisuke?" Hikari goes, "I think I know where his shack is. About 20 years ago, he moved to the Digital World and built a Una-bomber style shack. Claims Jun and his overbearing boss drove him away, but I think he's still jealous of Takeru. I don't know how sane he is anymore. I mean, the only one he associates with is Veemon, and I think 20 years of isolation is enough to drive anyone loopy." Taichi goes, "Let's head out. Digi-port open!!" He pushes a new button on his EDI and he is automatically transported to the Digital World. "Good thing Gennai installed the portable digiports into our EDI's before he died." Miyako stands up and points her D3 at.... nothing, and yells, "Digiport Open!!" and then a digiport opens in Izzy's living room. Iori says, "I'll never get used to that." Everyone walks in.

Upon walking into the other side, everyone looks around. Jou stops and says, "It's been a while.... Hey, guys, you notice anything different?" He looks, and everyone's sign of near middle-age are gone, except for Lewis's hair and Ken's beard. Everyone looks 10 years younger. Yamato comes through, but trips over Gomamon. Jou picks something up that falls next to him. "Hey, what the........ It's a toupee. It's looks like Yamato's hair." Everyone looks at Yamato, who is now holding his hands on his head. "I think I hit my head. I gotta go." Yamato blurts urgently. Lewis walks over and pulls his hands off and says, "Let's see what we're hiding here.... Argghh, my eyes!!!" When the hands were pulled away, it revealed a BALD Yamato!! The chrome dome glared in the sun, and the intensity shone into Lewis's eyes. "I'm blinded for life!!" Lewis screams, covering his eyes. Jou goes, "Let me guess, you're going for the Captain Picard look." Yamato says, "Hey, I didn't know using all that musse and hair stuff would kill all my hair follicles on my head?!" Lewis, recovered and trying to stare away, says, "But you didn't have to pull a Patrick Stewart on us and put 100 layers of gloss and wax on your head." Lewis walks up and uses Yamato's head for a mirror. "Hey, I got chicken in my teeth." Araiya grabs Lewis and shoves him back, and then punches him. Agumon breaks them up. "Save the brawling for later you two. We got to find Daisuke!!" Agumon says.

Lily reaches the now dilapidated middle school in Odaiba, which has a plaque and construction equipment around it, and it begins to rain. She goes in to get out of it. She looks around and notices parts of it with holes in it's roof, but other parts were like new. "They must be renovating this school.... Wonder why." Suddenly a Mekinorimon busts through a wall and attacks her. "By order of the Dominion, I will destroy you." He knocks down the rest of the wall.

"Twin Beam!!"

He shoots and misses. Lily runs down the halls screaming and whining, "Oh no, why is he shooting at me? Who is he? What is he? How'd he know where I was?" The Mekinorimon just flies down the halls after her. He shoots again and missed. Lily runs and finds she is trapped in an old computer, and not all the computers have been removed. Mekinorimon says, "Locking crosshairs.... Twin..." He is suddenly hit in the back. "Keiko!!" Lily yells. Keiko is standing there with a vine spike in her right hand. "What are you doing here, getting chased by this tin can?" Keiko says to her. Lily goes, "I don't know. I just wanted to get out of the rain, and then he attacks me, talking of some Dominion!!" The Mekinorimon gets up. "Interloper... All those who interfere with Dominion affairs must be terminated." He charges up.

"Twin Beam!!"

Keiko looks at the beam heading for her.

"Tulip Pinwheel Splicer!!"

The sunflower on her hand slides to the outside edge of her hand. 8 curved blades slide out the sunflower sides. They spin around the center of the flower and she places it in the path of the beam. The blades dice the beam to nothingness. She runs up and pounces him with the revolving blades. Sparks fly up from the metal meeting metal. He punches her, but not after leaving him a giant gash across his chest slicing many wires. It attacks again.

"Twin Beam!!"

"Thorn Stinger!!"

From under the sunflower, a vine spike grows out. It shoots out like a rocket. The spike closes and pierces down the center of the beam. The beam explodes, and Mekinorimon takes a good deal of damage because of the beam still being so close to him. He wobbles back into the computer lab when out of nowhere a silver throwing knife strikes his right arm joint and short circuits the joint, and then the dome on his roof cracks, and the machine falls down. Lily looks and says, "Who the?" In the window to her left, a boy in what looks like ancient Chinese silk garments and sandals with a scabbard over his shoulder. He has long black hair and a Jet Li-like face. "That Mekinorimon was bad news. He roughed up our dojo looking for Sensei Hido wanting to find you, little girl. These digimon must think you're so important that they'd use a Mekinorimon to catch a mere human." A girl, clad in leather and wearing Gucci leather boots and a black leather trenchcoat, towing with her a bag, pushes Lily out of the way and starts to ransack the place. She has a sniper rifle over her shoulder. Keiko goes, "Aren't you a little young to be toting a bolt-action sniper rifle with you?" The girl says, "You saw that Mekinorimon attack you!! Ever since that surprise attack, the streets aren't safe." The boy says, "You stole it." The girl says, "What's it to ya?" She stockpiles computer stuff. Lily says, "You two are all nice, but who are you?" The boy goes, "I am known as Tetsuo Masaki, and I am the star pupil of the Hido Temple. This vile computer hacking serpent here is an old acquaintance, Bonnie Winchester." Bonnie goes, "Oh, why don't you tell everyone!!" She goes to remove a cover from a computer tower when Tetsuo grabs her. "I wouldn't do that. The computer is on." Bonnie says, "What the? These things shouldn't be plugged up. Suddenly, computers not already dissected for parts by Bonnie come on. Another girl runs in screaming, "The Airdramon are attacking, the Airdramon are attacking, and they're after me!!" Lily looks at her strangely, and says, "Calm down... What's your name?" "Masato, Masato Kido... All of you should know my grandparents" Bonnie looks at her and says, "Kido? As in the legendary Digidestines Jou Kido and Miyako Inoue?! That Kido?! I knew Tetsuo knew one of the Digidestined as his sensei and his grandparents were two others, and my grandparents were both DD's as well, but you're a blood descendant too!!" Keiko says, "Me too." Lily goes, "I heard of them, but my aunt made it sound like a legend. Of course, the same woman I've been calling my aunt is a Digimon herself... Nah..., She's only my legal guardian." Another girl runs in. "What are all of you doing here!! There's a whole detachment of digimon searching this area!! They capture us if we don't...." She sees the Mekinorimon laying on the ground. "Well, it looks like you can handle yourselves.... Here they come!!" A group of Mega digimon, led by a strange womanly being in a crimson toga. "Find that girl post haste. That Mekinorimon reported her here before we lost contact. I see movement... That way!!" Bonnie goes, "Sorry to turn your attention away from the approaching armies, but these computers have booted up and they say 'Digiport Open.'" Digimon start flying out the screens around them. "This isn't good." Tetsuo calmly says. The new girl pries open the Mekinorimon dome and hides inside, but hits a switch getting in that re-activates it. "Hey, I'm in control of this thing!!" She played with the controls and blasted 10 of the 12 computers before the Digimon could completey come through. Lily's necklace reacts to the computer screen. Some digimon have arrived and are now trying to come after them. Lily says, "I'll take my chances in the mystery screen!!" Her necklace levitates up, shoots a pulse of light into the screen, then they all vanish Star Trek style, then the Digiport on that computer closes.

Almost there, halfway up a mountain, Mimi whines, "How much farther is it, Hikari? We've been at it for an hour now!!" "Just over this hill here." Hikari answers. They go over the hill and walk down to the house. Hikari looks in a knothole in the shack and says, "He must be out...." Takeru goes in to look, but what he sees horrifies him. The words 'Die TA Die!!' were spraypainted all over the walls, stuffed dolls of him sat there stabbed, decapitated, mutilated, and in many other forms of pseudo agony. Pictures and posters of him showed his head missing, and in pictures with Hikari, his head pasted in its place. Patamon saw the same thing with himself is another part of the room. Takeru even found an explosive and a couple of mail bombs laying in on the makeshift table addressed to him at his work. Patamon picks up a book saying how he must die and how he will be killed written by Veemon. Takeru and Patamon say together, "We'll wait outside..." Suddenly, Iori comes in with Daisuke holding a shotgun to his back. Daisuke's hair was mangy and long, fuchsia, with brown in it from dirt and dust. He had a beard that went down to his navel, and he was wearing the same flames jacket he wore since his first trip to the Digital World, but now it is ragged and torn. He still had Taichi's goggles, but they were so muddy and scratched they were useless. His fingernails were nearly 4 inches long, and he was plain out dirty. "You a trespassin' on ma land." He spits. "*Hurumph....* You're trespassing on my lands. Why you here? Tell me, then git!!!" Iori says, "He doesn't recognize me!! Somebody do something!!" Sora walks up to them and says, "Daisuke, you remember us don't you? We're the digidestined, and you're one too." She shows him her EDI. Daisuke says, "So, that's a nice watch. *Spits again* There were only two digidestined, me, and Hikari Yagami. We were a team until that Digimon Emperor bastard Takeru killed her." Veemon goes, "And his Patamon beat and enslaved Hikari's Tailmon before my eyes." "If I ever see him again....." Hikari walks up to him. "But I'm not dead. I was never dead. In fact, I've always been here." Daisuke lowers his shotgun and walks to her. "But it can't be... I saw her die, and she had brown hair. You have... pink hair." Hikari goes, "But it is me..... Listen Daisuke... Takeru was never the Digimon Emperor. He in fact was one of us, and so were the rest of us too." Daisuke holds her and says, "It's coming back to me. " He points to Ken, Iori, Yolei, Izzy, Taichi, Yamato, Sora, Jou, and Miyako going "I remember you...." "You're all Digidestined too, but who the hell are you, you, and you, pointing at Lewis, Araiya, and Mimi respectively. Lewis answers, "Well, I'm Lewis, that's Mimi, and this mentally challenged simpleton next to me is Araiya." Araiya turns red. "Shut up, Lewis!! Daisuke giggles and goes, "Oh, you two..." He remembers them. Lewis whispers to Hikari, "I believe he's schizophrenic. Why else would he have all these delusions, beside the fact he's Daisuke." Lewis grabs Takeru and Patamon from behind the crowd and push them in front. Daisuke goes ballistic and starts slobbering and spewing out incoherent babble. He goes to shoot him, but finds his gun unloaded. Lewis shakes the shotgun shells as a taunt. Daisuke looks at him, then goes on a psychotic spree trying to hit Takeru with the butt of the shotgun like a club. "Shut up, Takeru!!" He yells, despite he has said nothing. "Yep, definate schizo." Lewis goes. He hides Takeru behind him, puts his fist out, and Daisuke runs into it, knocking himself out. Jou takes out a bottle and slips Daisuke two pills. "I may be an actor now, but I did go to medical school, remember? These are some anti-depressants. He should be a lot friendlier when he wakes up."

On the other side of the Digiport, everyone looks around to find themselves at a lake. "Where are we?" Bonnie says. Keiko goes, "I know. I've been hear before on a school trip. It's the Digital World!!" Bonnie says, "One more thing, who are you, girl?" The girl in the Mekinorimon says, "Oh, I'm Jun Hirosashi!!" She extends the Mekinorimon's hand to shake her's but moves it out of the way before she can shake. Tetsuo bows to her. "It is an honor to meet you." Lily looks up to see the sky and backs up onto a brown rock. A light cuts the water making a walkway. Masato goes, "I've been chased, I've been shot at, I've met the odd bunch. What the hell?!" She walks in and goes on. Lily says, "Well, it looks safe." She goes down the path. Tetsuo says, "My instincts say it is safe." Jun goes, "I'm wearing this. What's to lose? I've gone this far." Only Bonnie stands on the shore. "I'm not going down there with those weirdos. I plan to take my computer parts and get some shoe leather between me and the firing squad. What the?!" Her sack of computer goodies was gone. A voice says, "If you want them, go with them." Bonnie says, "I think this is a trap. I mean, you got digimon chasing us, then we end up here, like I didn't see that one coming, and now you're herding us to the middle of the lake. Logically, you'd want us dead." The voice retorts, "Attack, Golgothamon!!" The others see Bonnie run past screaming in fear. The silhoutte of the voice's owner says, "I should of built cardboard cut-outs sooner. I really could of saved myself time wasted bothered by salesmen." They all arrive at a house. The silhoulette notions for them to come in. They go in. The silhouette comes out from the shadows. "Welcome, the rest of you." Bonnie says, "What do you mean, 'The rest of us?'" She signals and two boys come out. "These will be your new partners." One is a very small blue-haired young boy, about 9, and is kinda like the young Takeru, and the other is very tall, dressed in a ritzy suit, and his looks make Bonnie drool. Keiko goes, "Partners, for what?" The woman says, "You are to be the new generation of Digidestined." Everyone's jaws dropped. "See, the current digidestined are great, but over time, their numbers will drop due to old age. Now, there are 11, but then it only be 4, then 2, then 1. I don't think Mimi could handle the job of being sole Digidestined for the next 292,000 years on her own, nor can the Omega Triad be ready at all times to bail us out. The only time they used their Nexuses, they almost killed themselves and vowed never again to use them. I mean, sure, we'll have the option of the Omega Triad for the next couple thousand years, but me and Gennai realized that the Digidestined need fresh blood. He wanted to find 10 more children to inherit the roles of the predecessors, and I got 1, 2, 3, 4... 8 of them, if I'm right. Seven of you I know already since you are the descendants of the Digidestined." She walks around the room and points at the kids. "Lily Fallon, Keiko Sarusota," Points to the small blue-haired boy. "...Ryo Ogata, Tetsuo Masaki, Masato Kido," Points to the tall boy in the business suit, "Romi Temujin...," He says, "Call me Romeo." He gives the peace sign. The woman continues, "But you... You are not related to any Digidestined...." Jun goes, "Is that bad, miss...?" The woman says, "Mai. Let me see...." She picks up three different devices and passes them by her. The teal device pulsates and hums around her. "You too are a Digidestined. I still need to find the other two...." Lily interrupts. "I'm confused. You said I was related to a Digidestined, but I was told my grandparents are dead." Mai turns and says, "Why hasn't Jill told you yet?" "Told me what?" "Your grandparents are very much alive." Lily goes, "Huh?!" Mai says, "Let me show you each your pedigrees and hand out your stuff." She calls a Jumbo-tron screen to raise from the ground and mans a console. "First, we have Tetsuo. He is the grandson of Yamato Ishida and Araiya Ishida, who had a daughter, Akira. You, Tetsuo, will possess the Crest of Tranquility." Tetsuo says, "Grandmother will not be pleased." "Ryo, you are the grandson of Sora Izumi and Koushiro Izumi. They created a daughter, Junko. Child of Love, Liberty, Knowledge, and Truth, you shall carry our Hopes, and its crest. Now, Keiko, you are of course the granddaughter of Taichi Yagami and Mimi Yagami, who sired a daughter, Shihomi. You will carry the Crest of Light for you have a kind and innocent heart. Together, Ryo and Keiko, you are Innocent, and therefore rightful bearers of the Shard of Innocence." Ryo goes, "I hope we can be friends *Giggles and grabs Keiko's hand*" Mai goes on. "Jun, am I right, are not of Digidestined blood, but you have been known to show your Devotion to a purpose, so it, and the Shard of Zeal that accompanies it are yours. Romi, grandson of Ken and Yolei Ichijouji, son of their daughter Aya, you can be kind, but you are to take the Crest of Friendship and the Shard of Trust." Romeo snatches it up. "No biggie." Mai pushes on. "Masato, you are of Jou and Miyako Kido, the only one related to a digidestined by her father's blood. You have feared and panicked, but as Gennai wanted, you shall take the Crest of Courage and the Shard of Honor." Lily spews out, "What about me?" "I'm getting to you." Takes her hand.... "Your hand, it seems so different... You, Lily, are the granddaughter of the Digimon Lilymon and Lewis Wick.... Why I say you seem strange is that you yourself are 25% Digimon, but from looking you couldn't tell." Lily takes her hand back, "You're saying, I'm not completely human......." Mai says, "The genes must have been recessive. Your hair color, your high immune system, and those eyes are probably the result of the recessive genes." Lily has a look of shock. Mai says to her, "Lily, you, as Gennai said, will be the leader of the group. You must make the decisions of the group. Now, let me show you to your stuff." Mai gets up and goes to a table with weird silver versions of Lily's necklace, each with a different colored gemstone and their crest engraved into it, weird devices, and 8 digieggs, each marked with a crest. "Go to the egg corresponding to your crest." Ryo goes to his. He takes the device. It is oval-shaped and has a yellow grip all around it except at the top, where a hole is. There is a screen and keypad next to it to the right and top. Along the left side there are holes, and in front of these holes on the grips are yellow spikes. On the bottom was the Crest of Hope engraved. Keiko looked at hers, and it looked like a giant crest of light, with pink rays surrounding a circular device. A small rod and a little chain seem to hang out the bottom. Tetsuo looks at his, a perfect recreation of the Crest of Tranquility on front with silver edges and rays, but on the back was what looked like folded up gun barrels. "Strange." Jun's had teal grips on only parts of the device. It had her screen and keys nestled in the center triangular area. It looked like a cross between her crest and a shuriken. Masato saw her device and it had the look of the Crest of Courage, but one of the rays looked pointier and sharper then the rest and on the opposite side the ray there looked like a handle. Bonnie found hers and it looked like a cross of the Crest of Knowledge and a tesla coil. Lily found hers and saw it. It looks just like Mimi's EDI except their is a harpoon-like spearhead sticking out the end. Romeo picked his found his the weirdest of all. His was like the Crest of Friendship, but it all the keys lining half the device, and the edges were extremely sharp. Tetsuo says, "I get the impression that each one is special." Mai says, "Yes. They are called Weapon Command Enhanced Digivolution Initializers, or WCEDI's for short. When we made them, we realized that the Digidestined could be in trouble when their digimon is fighting, so we hybridized the advanced technology of Digivices to some weapons in the broom closet." "Is that all?" Bonnie says. Mai says, "Well, when your digimon reaches the Giga and Terra levels, they will use the WCEDI's as their own weapons. This computer program of ThorXaviomon using Jun's WCEDI shows that it, when used in conjunction with the digimon it was used on, enhances their power, and gives them a new attack. This is him using 'Fire Nova Star,' the attack he gains with use of the WCEDI." It shows him in 3D computer graphics decimating his foes with a flaming shuriken. Mai adds, "That, and all we had to make these out of at the time were those weapons. Let me tell you what each one of them is. Lily, yours is a spear. Keiko, you have a morningstar. Ryo's WCEDI was made from spiked knuckles. Tetsuo, in true Lewis Wick Tranquility fashion, you are toting a minigun. Masato, you carry a broad sword. Bonnie, you have a dual tesla coil. Romeo, your bizarre digivice was from the result of hybridizing the technology with a Chakram. Finally, Jun, as we said, your's is a shuriken. The other two are, for the carrier of the Crest of Love, their WCEDI doubles as either a javelin or an arrow, and for whomever gets Reliability, they will carry a battle axe. Bonnie goes, "Bloody neat!!" Mai says, "Now, it is time to meet your digimon. Ryo's egg hatches. "Hello, I'm Soramon." A little brown Yuramon-like fuzzball with Patamon wings comes from the egg. Ryo picks him up in his palms. Tetsuo's hatched next. Something that looks like a miniture toy Shakkoumon walks out. "I am Yinmon, and you must be Tetsuo." Masato's hatched next. "Is Bahamutmon alright.... Where am I? When am I? Last thing I remember is being in the '70s with Hikari, then fighting my old friend Bahamutmon...." Mai says, "For a grandchild of a time traveller, a digimon who herself has been through time." She looks at Germinamon "Germinamon, it's okay. This is the year 2045, and Bahamutmon is fine. In fact, you're now a digidestined digimon." Bonnie's hatched afterwards. It looks like a hovering spark of fire. "I'm Sparkmon. I'm cute, but my skin causes fires if I'm not careful." Romeo shakes his space design egg, wondering if it open, and then it does. The egg collapses in on itself and becomes Spongemon. "Hiya, Romeo. I'm Spongemon, and I'll be your digimon. Thank you again, Germinamon!!" Jun grabs a ball of cybernetic parts and watches it unfold, reshape, and weld into a digimon. "I am Bimon, the fetal form of an Andromon." "Meet with them.... What's wrong Keiko?" Keiko goes, "What of our digimon?" Mai says, "Well, Keiko, Gennai told me that you'd be just like your grandmother and be your own digimon. Lily, he said you'd have to find yours, but when you do, it will the most powerful of them all."

Two hours later, Daisuke awakens, this time bound to a chair. "What's the deal!!" Takeru circles around with Hikari. "We couldn't risk you becoming violent again." Hikari says. Takeru goes, "We need your help, Daisuke. A new enemy has appeared, and we need the full digidestined team, and that means you!!" Hikari says, "We don't have long..." "So help us!!" Takeru ends. Hikari asks of him, "Daisuke, as long as we known you, you know that I only liked you as a friend. In fact, Takeru and me are now married...." Daisuke looks at her as though his whole world ended. "Takeru!!!"

"Super Shocker!!"

Tentomon's shock knocked the sense back into him. Lewis goes, "Electroshock therapy is fun, when used modestly and lightly of course." Hikari continues, "... So could you try to be our friend. Please, no hurting of Takeru..." "Or Patamon." Takeru adds. "By you two. Okay?" Daisuke and Veemon shamefully nod. They release him and go on out. Jou runs insanely down the hill by the shack. "Guys!!! Those digimon are attacking a nearby city!! It's about 4 miles away!!" He falls over exhausted. "I.... got.... my exercise...... for today." Taichi says, "We got to stop them and find out what's going on!!" Yamato nods.

"Gabumon Warp Digivolve to Metalgarurumon!!"

"Biyomon Warp Digivolve to Aviamon!!"

"Hawkmon Armor Warp Digivolve to Metalgriffimon!!"

"Armajimon digivolve to Ankylomon!!"

Everyone hopped on one of the four digimon and rode to the city, a small metropolis of some 150,000 humans and digimon with a digiport in Town Square. Much of the army massacring the city was composed of Mekinorimon and Xenozombimon. Hikari goes, "Xenozombimon?! I thought they were all eradicated when Obliviomon was destroyed!!!" Daisuke goes, "Maybe some evil genius remade them?" Taichi says, "This shouldn't be hard!!"

"Agumon Warp Digivolve to Wargreymon!!"

"Gomamon digivolve to Ikkakumon!!"

"Ikkakumon digivolve to Zudomon!!"

"Tailmon digivolve to Angewomon!!"

"Patamon Warp Digivolve to Seraphimon!!"

"Hawkmon Warp Digivolve to Valkyrimon!!"

"Birdramon digivolve to Garudamon!!"

"Andromon digivolve to NeoAndromon!!"

"Lewis, Ninth Digidestined, Armor Warp Digivolve to Hypertomorrowsapien!!"

"Veemon digivolve to XVeemon!!"

"Wormmon digivolve to Stingmon!!"

"XVeemon!! Stingmon!! Jogress Shinka, Paildramon!!"

Takeru yells, "Charge!!" and they all head down the hill. A group of Mekinorimon block the area. Wargreymon flies in.

"Nova Force!!"

His tornado clears the way. Garudamon strikes a party of Xenozombimon with her Wing Blade. Paildramon flies over the injured group.

"Desperado Blaster!!"

He makes swiss cheese out of them. "That was gouda." Ankylomon Megaton Presses a small detachment of Devidramon, and they slide towards Seraphimon.

"Seventh Sign!!"

He vaporizes them easily. Metalgriffimon pursues some flying Mekinorimon.

"Metal Tempest Wing!!"

The shards of chromadigizoid shred up some of the Mekinorimon and disable the rest, causing them to start falling. As they fell towards another enemy group, Metalgriffimon locked on.

"Charmed Warhead!!"

It disintegrated the whole lot of them. Lewis goes after running a Xenozombimon through, "This seems almost too easy...." Zudomon looks up to see a giant airship block out the sun, and the rest of the sky. Zudomon looks at Lewis, "You just had to jynx it, didn't you?!" A voice over a blaring speaker says, "So you 11 are the digidestined. I'm not impressed. Anyone could mop up these losers I sent in as cannon fodder. I just needed them to get you here. Now, it seems a shame, but I have from the Dominion itself to erase you like a bad program." Taichi goes, "The Dominion?!" The voice goes, "Yes, the Dominion!!! I am to eliminate you. Deploy the Deathwings!!" Steam flies from all over the bottom of the flying almost island-like airship. Strange jets with Bakemon at the controls fly all over and start bombing runs. Ankylomon is hit by one of these and slams through a building as Upamon. Garudamon is caught in a blast and comes out Biyomon. The jets switch to missiles, and when they do, they look like TIE Fighters. Wargreymon retaliates.

"Terra Force!!"

He manages to knock around a hundred out of the air with that move. They lock on to Wargreymon, but Seraphimon gets in the way.

"Seventh Sign!!"

He stops many of the missiles and brings down a few jets, but some hit him and he reverts to Patamon. Angewomon moves in next.

"Heaven's Charm!!"

It clears a path to the airship. "Paildramon, cover me!!" They fly up, with Paildramon shooting his Desperado Blaster all the way. She goes to shoot a Celestial arrow, but some sort of electrified self-defense system shocks and drains her. She reverts to Tailmon and falls into Paildramon's hands. He nosedives to the ground to get away from the fighter jets. NeoAndromon reverts to Andromon and Zudomon back to Gomamon. Araiya yells, "We gotta kick it up!!"

"Wargreymon Warp Digivolve to Siegegreymon!!"

"Andromon Warp Digivolve to Xaviomon!!"

"Xaviomon Warp Digivolve to Alcyaid Xaviomon!!"

"Gomamon Warp Digivolve to Norse Zudomon!!"

"Norse Zudomon Warp Digivolve to Neptune Zudomon!!"

"Dryadsapia Warp Digivolve to Titania Lilysapia!!"

They split up and separate the jets.

"Plasma Grenades!!"

They clear out a speck of air. Mimi and Paildramon hold hands with their backs to one another and spin.

"Seed Spore Wave!!"

"Desperado Blaster!!"

Paildramon spins clumsily after the attack. "Stuartess, get me a barf bag....." The tornado of spores sweeps through and demolishes many planes. Neptune Zudomon charges up.

"Zudo Hailstorm!!"

His hail boulders take out many a plane, and a few manage to even hit the flying airship!! The voice says, "Enough of this, Deathwings return!!" Miyako says, "Did we win?" Lewis goes, "Nah, this is still too easy...." Suddenly, turrets extend out and blast away. Neptune Zudomon goes, "Again with the jynxing!!" Then he is hit and reverts to Bukamon. Explosions galore ensue, followed by one large one. All the digimon still digivolved except Alcyaid Xaviomon and Siegegreymon have reverted to their rookie or whatever their base level may be. Taichi says, "I'm going to see if I can get help!!" He jumps in Siegegreymon's hands and they leave. Sora goes, "And we're supposed to sit here and enterain them with a turkey shoot?" Biyomon goes, "Hey, I resent that remark.... Wait, I'm not a turkey.... Still, it's derogatory to birds..." Lewis screams, "Holy crap, I'm gonna die listening to a politically correct bird!!" Araiya yells from Alcyaid Xaviomon's shoulder, "Stop your whining, Lewis!! No one's gonna die!!" Lewis says, "I think I'll.... 'help' Taichi... I'll be right back!!!" Biyomon pulls his shirt and makes him fall flat on his back. "You did say you were gonna die listening to a politically correct bird, so shut up and listen!!" Lewis says, "All I'm saying is that it seems just a little too...." Bukamon muffles his mouth. "Don't even say it." Lewis sits up, throwing Bukamon off. "...Quiet." From the airship, a hatch opens. The voice goes, "I see one of your digimon of choice is Alcyaid Xaviomon. I'd like you to meet OUR Alcyaid Xaviomon, piloted by one of my generals, Stefan!!" A black Alcyaid Xaviomon lands on the ground. The hatch opens and shows a man in a heavy suit of armored equipment saying to Araiya, "It'll be a pleasure ripping your hunk of junk you call a digimon apart." He closes his hatch and takes manual control. He charges and slams his tomahawk down onto Araiya's Alcyaid Xaviomon. "Alcyaid, give me manual!!" Manual systems come online. "What will going manual accomplish, Araiya?" Araiya answers, "Sometimes you need a human mind to outwit a human mind. Besides, he wouldn't see this coming." She punches back, then steps back.

"Sonic Vulcan!!"

The bullets scar and hamper the evil one, but he recovers.

"Raging Maverick!!"

The missile bombardment fries some of Alcyaid's systems. Alcyaid Xaviomon gives a report, "Minigun jammed. Hull breach, upper left theigh." Araiya says, "This isn't how we do things...."

"Neo Tech Tomahawk!!"

".......This is how you do things!!" The axe lodges perfectly into Stefan's Alcyaid Xaviomon and Araiya uses the tomahawk's chain to swing him around in the air, then smash him into the ground. The evil one gets up, sparks flying from the chest. Stefan says to his Alcyaid, "She's gloating. Time to ambush."

"Quartz Lasers!!"

Araiya is taken completely off-guard by that and Alcyaid Xaviomon falls down on top of a building. "Leg joint damaged. Legs now at 53% efficiency. Fuel leak, left leg." By fuel leak, Alcyaid Xaviomon meant he was leaking zinc, coolant, and joint lubricant. He gets up and limps at Stefan.

"Raging Maverick!!"

Thy fire at the evil one, but they retaliate with Neo Tech Tomahawk. The evil Alcyaid Xaviomon's tomahawk was destroyed, and both of them were hit by the blast.

At Mai's house, Mai says, "I just detected the Dominion attacking a city, and the original Digidestined are there too, but they aren't doing too well. You must get there now." Jun goes, "But how. We don't even know where we are?" Mai says, "I have access to a technology only I and the Digidestined know of, the ancient Sat-Com teleportation chambers." Bonnie says, "But scientists already said that dismantling and reassembling living things molecule by molecule would be impossible!!" Mai goes, "Yes, in your world, but remember, this place is made up of data, which can easily be broken down, and that includes all of us. Instead of breaking you down by molecules, it's more like a cut and paste technique on a computer. Now.... GO!!" She shoves them all into the chamber. Tetsuo says, "This should be fascinating..." Bonnie goes, "Do you have any personality other than 'Spock?'" Then they are transported. They come out just outside of the city, on the opposite hilltop, behind Stefan. Jun says, "I'll take a wild guess and say the one in black is the bad guy." Bonnie looks at her like she is the biggest idiot in the world. "Duh, we'll attack the silver one.... OF COURSE THE BLACK ONE IS!!! This Digivice thingy can tell who's who." Ryo says to Lily, "So, what do we do?" Jun adds, "What's your orders, fearless leader?" Lily, nervous as can be, says, "Uh.... charge?" Yinmon says, "I don't think Baby digimon would hurt that Giga level behemoth. Maybe we should digivolve first." Romeo says, "Good point." Ryo holds his WCEDI out and it glows, and the rest follow suit.

"Soramon digivolve to Chippermon!!"

"Chippermon digivolve to Ardillamon!!"

"Yinmon digivolve to Yangmon!!"

"Yangmon digivolve to Taomon!!"

"Germinamon digivolve to Algaemon!!"

"Algaemon digivolve to Lotusmon!!"

"Sparkmon digivolve to Demi Meramon!!"

"Demi Meramon digivolve to Candmon!!"

"Spongemon digivolve to Coralmon!!"

"Coralmon digivolve to Urchinmon!!"

"Bimon digivolve to Cymon!!"

"Cymon digivolve to Technomon!!"

Mai narrates, "Ardillamon is the Rookie form of Ryo's Soramon. He looks like a flying squirrel, and that's what he is. His Bucktooth Saw and Wood Dive can hurt his foes into early hibernation. Taomon is a Rookie Spirit digimon. His Karma Cards will dice you up, not to mention give you bad luck. Lotusmon is the Rookie form of Germinamon. She is a Lunar digimon that uses both Plant and Water elementals in her attacks. Plant and Water, does that mean she waters herself? Candmon is the Rookie form of Sparkmon. He's still a danger to touch, and his Flame Bomber and Melted Wax attacks set you ablaze if you cross him. Urchinmon is Rookie form of the baby Spongemon and the more famous Bahamutmon. His Volleyball Spike will puncture you, and his Ballast Cannon will blow you away. This is one mean blowfish digimon!! Technomon is familiar to the old Digidestined and Araiya especially because this is the Rookie form of Andromon. His Nano Knuckle hurts after the blow, and his Optic Laser could microwave you inside a suit of armor." Lily says, "Uh.... Now charge." They all run down the hill except Ardillamon, Taomon, and Urchinmon, who fly over them. Lily yells, "Uh... uh..... Hurt him!!"

"Bucktooth Saw!!"

Ardillamon grabs his mouth when his teeth fail to pierce the Megadigizoid hull. Taomon flies Technomon up around the evil Alcyaid Xaviomon's optical outlets. Taomon hurls Technomon onto Alcyaid Xaviomon's face and attacks.

"Karma Cards!!"

The cards just ping off him. Technomon climbs up on one of the 'eyes'. Stefan says to his Alcyaid Xaviomon, "What's that?" The answer is, "It appears to a Technomon, the Rookie form of me."

"Optic Laser!!"

He shoots out one of his 'eyes,' temporarily blinding him. Lotusmon charges at him.

"Plant Spikes!!"

She hurls them and they stab into his ankle joint, gumming it up. Araiya says, "What's going on. Who are they?" She looks at them and then sees Tetsuo. "Tetsuo?! What's he doing here, and with... Lily, Keiko, Ryo, Bonnie, and Romeo, but who's that girl...." She grabs her EDI. "Hey, guys, could you explain why our grandchildren are here with some strange new digimon leading a counterattack on that other Alcyaid Xaviomon?" Lewis says, "What's Lily doing here..... I though Jill said Keiko was watching her.... Wait, there's Keiko." Yamato says, "How long has it been since you saw her?" Lewis goes, "Well, I've tried to keep her safe from Lance, so she knows only that Jill works for me. I haven't seen her in seven years. She doesn't even know she has a family." Hikari says, Isn't that a little overkill?" Lewis goes, "No, it isn't. Those autopsy reports showed all of Holly's wounds except four were directed at her abdomen. He was after Lily, not Holly. If he had the chance, he'd probably try to finish the job, but why? Why would he want to kill his own daughter?" Alcyaid Xaviomon turns and swats away the fledgling digimon, but when he tries to walk over to finish them off, the Plant Spikes tear up his ankle and he comes crashing down. Lily, now more confident, says, "Now, we need to take him out of commission!!" The digimon glow.

"Ardillamon digivolve to Puxitomymon!!"

"Taomon digivolve to Zenmon!!"

"Lotusmon digivolve to Lotomon!!"

"Candmon digivolve to Meramon!!"

"Urchinmon digivolve to Krakenmon!!"

"Technomon digivolve to Andromon!!"

Puxitomymon is a giant 15 foot tall light brown gopher with giant claws and teeth. Zenmon is a warrior which looks like a Kabukimon with its giant black hair and samurai mask-like face. He is wearing clothes like Tetsuo, but his are black silk with white trim, and the shirt is sleeveless. Hanging from his waist is a katana scabbard. Krakenmon is a giant squid over 70 feet tall and massive tentacles smashing about. Krakenmon grabs Alcyaid Xaviomon all over.

"Triton Squeeze!!"

His tentacle coiled around and constricted like 8 behemoth boa constrictors squeezing its prey. Andromon locks on.

"Gatling Attack!!"

The missiles hit and do nominal damage. Araiya yells, "What are you guys doing here?" Tetsuo yells up, "Saving you of course!!" Lewis yells, "Well, if you wanna help, pry the tim can open and pull the guy inside it out!!" Keiko and Puxitomymon say, "Will do!!" Keiko flies up to the hatch area (The abdomen area).

"Tulip Pinwheel Splicer!!"

She slices down a slit and rips the slit open slightly. Puxitomymon jumps up and uses all his might to push the hatch open. A surprised Stefan descends down the control chamber is about to draw a sword when Puxitomymon stops him.

"Cavern Claws!!"

He knocks Stefan down and rips up key components of Alcyaid Xaviomon's insides. Keiko jumps Stefan and they plunge 11 feet to the ground. He throws Keiko off, but she rips his helmet off. Krakenmon releases Alcyaid Xaviomon and hits him.

"Toxic Ink!!"

The push sends him forward. Meramon adds forward motion.

"Fireball!!"

Alcyaid Xaviomon stood in wait of its evil self. "NOW!!"

"Sonic Vulcan!!"

With his insides exposed, the minigun rounds make mincemeat of him.

"Raging Maverick!!"

The missiles score a direct hit on his insides. He starts to run into Araiya's Alcyaid Xaviomon, but as he does, he becomes dust. Bonnie has stopped Stefan and has her Sniper Rifle pointed at him. "Freeze, you knave!!" Stefan looked at her with this look of affection at her cuteness and felt this warm feeling when she spoke. "Must you point that archaic weapon at me?" Bonnie says, "This firearm isn't archaic. If it can splatter your brains on the ground, then it works." A knife ejects from the forearm plate into his hand, but Bonnie kicks his hand before he can grab it. Stefan grins, "Smart, and deadly. It's a shame, really. This shall have to be continued later." Smoke bombs go off and he's gone. The voice from the airship says, "I need to load up more troops. I didn't expect such resistance. If you want something done right, do it yourself." Three figures descend from the airship, one on a hovering platform, another spinning, the other just falling. The falling crashes into the ground and kneels into the crater with his right hand holding him up. He gets up. The figure spinning lands beside him. It looks like a giant virus cell, and the third surprises Yamato. The man in the armor says, "Let me introduce my other two generals. To my left is what you could say is my own little digimon, Virusmon. On the right, you should know him, but I don't think you reconize him...." Yamato says, "Metzger!!" Metzger, now a 9 foot tall cybernetic monstrosity, looks at Yamato with his one normal eye and his robotic eye. Metzger says back in a cold mechanical voice, "In the flesh... I see one of us managed to keep our hair." Yamato says angrily, "I thought you were annihilated when Mimi destroyed Lucimon's flying island!! And lay off the hair!! So what if I don't have anymore!!" Lewis taps his shoulder. "Uh, Yamato, he was nowhere near that island. I should know. It's not every day when you're trapped in the body of a Flower Nymph digimon that is bearing two children and you distinctly remember making sure that he would never have children ever with swift hard kick to the groin." Lewis turns to Metzger, "Still walking bow-legged, are we?" Metzger goes, "If I ever get my hands on that Lilymon...... ARRGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" He screams in anger. The mysterious man smacks Metzger over the head. "Remember what we came to you. You can find the Lilymon that made you..... sterile later." The man raises his hand and a device on the gauntlet he manipulates, and a crystal in the palm of the gauntlet glows, and a shockwave of sound and energy pulses out. Everyone doubles over and covers their ears in agony. The man says, "Level that machine, would you Metzger?" Metzger's right arm opens up all over and his hand becomes a turret. Laser, plasma blasts and salvos of missiles fly from that arm at strike down Alcyaid Xaviomon. Araiya ejects and Alcyaid Xaviomon reverts to Cymon. Everyone gapes at Metzger's accomplishment. Bonnie goes, "Hit them now!!" All the Champions charge the mystery man, but he beats, thrashes, and throws them around like rag dolls. All of them except Andromon, Zenmon, and Meramon revert to their Rookie level. He turns and fires a laser blast from his hands. It blows up a mist of dirt. "We got to do something." Keiko says. Tetsuo says, "To panic is not one of them." Jun says, "I don't care if he has a bazooka in his pants, we're gonna take him down." Their crests fly up and become gelatinous. They fly into their necklaces and merge with them. The engravements of their crests glow. Keiko, Zenmon, and Andromon glow as well.

"Tulisapia digivolve to...."

Her clothes change to a sleeveless yellow-orange body suit. Her skin takes on a bright pink tone. Leaves blow by and her four wings become six. On her right arm, a yellow version of one of Lilymon's gloves appears. Yellow knee-high leather boots slide on her. The vine around her left arm changed to red and the flower on the end became a lily. From the bottom of the lily, a sword blade slides out. The Crest of Light appears on her forehead.

"Sun Lilysapia!!"

"Zenmon digivolve to...."

His clothes become baggy white robes and pants with extremely loose sleeves and legs and a red trimmed silver vest, all wrapped up by a red sash. His hair gets longer and he grabs two sais from mid-air. A baldric of shurikens materializes on him. He roundhouses then slashes the air with his sai. Cherry blossoms blow by.

"Shintomon!!"

"Andromon digivolve to Neo Andromon!!"

Izzy analyzes them, "Keiko used the Crest of Light to become Sun Lilysapia. Her radiance gives her the added power of light. Her Harpoon Sword, Demeter Darts, and Solar Strike will do swift vengence. Shintomon is an Ultimate level Warrior digimon. He is a master of the sai and spear, and is deadly in hand to hand combat. Double Trident Crash, Feudal Warfare, and Alchemical Mix are the attacks he calls his own."

They rush them.

"Fist Missiles!!"

"Solar Strike!!"

"Feudal Warfare!!"

The fists, light beam, and shurikens do nothing to the mystery man. He just laughs at them. "You are so pathetic.... You guys suck!!" On his suit, a section deploys and becomes a minigun. He shoots plasma bolts repeatedly and the digimon revert to their champion levels. Metzger and Virusmon then grapple them and herd the children over to the rest of the digidestined. "I like you all in one nice tidy spot. It's easier to get rid of you all this way. Besides, this ammo isn't free, ya know." He gives a voice command to aim the airship cannons at them, when Virusmon says, sounding like Waspinator, "Virusmon no find green haired hu-mahn. She gone." The man stops his command and says, "Find her!!" Suddenly, Virusmon turns and sees her charging. Lily thinks to herself, "I hope those weapons Mai spoke of in these digivices work...." She pushes a button, and the grips split into four, from the pointed end of the digivice came the spearhead. The grips around the bottom half spin around and lock on to the other set of grips. A titanium shaft extends out from the top side. The grips all lock onto the digivice main body and the shaft. Lily runs as fast as she can, and jabs the spear into the back of the mystery man, and her speed sends her vaulting over him. When she ripped the spear out from the back of the suit, he started to raise his hand up to fire. Lily is screaming, "Please don't shoot me, please don't shoot me!!" over and over. Suddenly, an explosion ripped from the back of the armored suit. He falls to his knees. She taunts him, "That'd teach you to mess with Lily Fallon!!" The man goes, "What was that name....." He coughs, and Lily says, "Lily Fallon. Why?" He continues to cough, and then smoke streams from his helmet, which he quickly removes. "Then I didn't complete my mission ten years ago." Lewis heard his voice, unscrambled from his suit and plain and said, "Lance...." Keiko says, "Who's Lance?" Lewis says, "One of the most despicable bastards that ever walked the Earth and the Digital World. He killed Lily's mother and almost succeeded in killing Lily. What's worse, he's Lily's father." Lance says, "They never proved that I was the mastermind. The case was thrown out for lack of evidence, but because of the wonders of no double jeopardy laws and the Statute of Limitations, I can now say, 'I did it' all I want. Besides, they ruled my wife's accusation was a result of deliria, even though we all it's the truth." Lewis goes, "You make me sick, and now I got new evidence on you. You just confessed." Lance says, "Ah, but I own the courts.... Besides, who are they going to believe, a guy who at times looks insane because of his eccentric behavior, or the guy who was acquitted, and now pays them. All sentient beings are greedy, and I know how to use that greed. Why do you think every law enforcement agency in 97 nations, including the US, uses my software?" Lewis grits his teeth. "Hey, I had my orders to destroy Lily. The orders said 'Any means possible.'" Lily looks at him as though her world had just been obliterated and all she knew was a lie. She cries holding Lewis, "Why...?" Lance says, "Quite simple. My master Malachimon ordered it after she was told by one of her top advisers you posed a major threat between her and her goals to avenge her father's death." Sora goes, "Her... father?" Gabumon goes, "But digimon are hatched!!" Lance says, "She was born from a fragment of her father and his Vial of Darkness." Tailmon says, "But who's the father?" Lance says, "Oh well, since you're all gonna die, I can tell you. Hey, the reserve battery kicked in." The turrets lock on. "Does the name 'Obliviomon' ring a bell?" Everyone goes pale in shock. Lance says, "Bye now." The turrets charge up when a blast of light destroys them. "Oh, what now!!" Taichi sits on the ridge with Paladingreymon, Paladin Lilymon, and a slew of Unites States Marines. Lewis says, "How'd ya get the Marines?" Paladin Lilymon says, giggling shortly in the middle, "I can be..., persuasive." A flashback shows Lilymon asking a general nicely for troops, then Taichi says, "But we have to stop those guys in the Digital World, where they are coming from!!" The general goes, "I'm sorry, but I just can't... Ooff..." Lilymon picks him up by his shirt and says, "One of the deadliest foes ever endangers this world, and your willing to let your only line of defense be slaughtered!! We need reinforcements!!" The general, scared, goes, "But, but....." Lilymon, pissed off, which is rare, screams, "But nothing!! I commanded you all for 8 years, and my husband did 8 years before, so I'm entitled to some respect!!" The general goes, "Well, let me see what I can do..." Lilymon screams, "It better be done!! This is life or death here, and if they get dead, I'M GONNA COME BACK HERE AND PERSONALLY RAM THOSE FOUR STARS UP YOUR TIGHTWAD ASS, AND THEN GIVE YOU A FLOWER CANNON BLAST THAT WILL CLEAN YOU OUT LIKE A BURRITO WITH EXTRA GUACAMOLE SAUCE, THEN JAB THIS PEN IN YOUR EAR AND SEE IF IT COMES OUT THE OTHER SIDE!! DO YOU GET ME!!" The general wets himself. "Y...y...y...y...ye...ye...yes, ma'am!!!" Lilymon looks happy again and says cutely, "Thank you!! I knew you'd be my friend." The flashback ends. Taichi, nervous and blushing goes, "She certainly has a way with words." Lance says, "If it isn't the nagging mother-in-law. Brought friends..... Well, they're not invited. Deathwings, attack that battalion!! Arm ship cannons!! Level this sector!!" The jets fly at them, and the battalion seems to be able to hold its own their hillside location. Giant 118 feet diameter cannons and other smaller ones locked onto the battlefield area.

"Celestial Fury!!"

Many of their bottom-mounted cannons were demolished by the seering light. Metzger dashed, charged, and uppercutted Paladin Lilymon. His arm opens up and he locks on her with a plasma beam. She is screaming in pain as the heat begins to almost literally microwave her in her armor. "You'll pay for taking my dignity!!" Just then, she musters the strength to get her hands in front of her and cup them.

"Palatial Flower Cannon!!"

The white light threw Metzger into Virusmon. Metzger turns on some jets on his feet and roars at Paladin Lilymon. She moves to her left and brandishes her sword.

"Genesis Sword!!"

The slash slices off his mechanical right arm at the middle of the upper arm and cuts him open on part of his side. He grabs his right arm and jumps onto the hoverplate. "This isn't over yet, Lilymon!!" On Lance's suit, a bar rises up to his left ear and a microphone and earphone assemble themselves. "Sir, this is General Stefan. Cannons 1 thru 120 are out. We must retreat, repair, and restock for standard combat. If we don't, this Paladingreymon will open us up like sardines." Lance says back, "Well, shoot him." "We tried sir, but he's too close. At times, he can be heard running on the hull." Lance thinks for a moment, then says, "Tell tactical to arm the Telsa Armor, Positive Mode, then to activate the Point Defense Turrets." Circular nodes come out the hull and deck. Then, everything is electrified and Paladingreymon is frozed in place as he is getting the shock of his life. He finally flies off and these small turrets come out and shoot him up. From the bridge, Stefan looks on the viewscreen. He calls out with a smirk, "Now, order all nearby Deathwings to finish the job and mop Paladingreymon up." A Machinedramon sitting in a chair atop a small tower with many flat monitors around it and a system of three consoles hooked to the chair pushes a button and the chair spins to a monitor viewing the Deathwings with a number in the bottom right corner. He says, "New orders: All Deathwings in sub-sector 0025 are to converge on falling bogey, a Paladingreymon. Use all lethal force." A Bakemon wearing a flight mask and helmet says, "Roger that, command. Now engaging the bogey." They shoot away and he reverts to Koromon by the time he hits the ground. Lance says, "Well, now, where was I? Oh, bye now." He raises his and the forearm piece of his right arm plate becomes a cannon. He shoots out a continous blast, and Paladin Lilymon gets in the way and holds it off, blocking it with her hands. As she blocks, she slides closer and closer to the Digidestined.

"Palatial Flower Cannon!!"

She fires off and starts to push his beam back. As it nears, he turns up the power. The two explode in the middle, and throws Paladin Lilymon to the ground. "You broke my cannon.... Well, it's not the only I got to destroy you all with!!" He holds his hand up and it starts to glow, and it fires a beam. Lily looks at and flinches, but then sees no one else able to block it. She lets go of Lewis and stands in front of everyone staring down the beam. Lewis says, "Get out of the way, Lily!!" Lily says, "I'm not gonna let anyone else get hurt." Taichi says, "Standing there is tactical suicide!!" Lily just repeats herself. The beam nears, and Lily screams and puts her arms in the way like Paladin Lilymon did. As it neared her, suddenly, her Necklace pulsated and her WCEDI was humming and beeping like crazy. The blast hit.... a green bubble. Lance looks in shock at his daughter's accomplishment. He shhots the minigun, but the plasma ammo just pings off. Then it rises into the air and a digiport opens. The bubble goes in and carries everyone safely back to the real world. Lance says, "Let's go and get those repairs." His suit flies up to the airship. Inside he says, "Stefan, I want you to confer with the science officers and find out about what the hell just happened and how to beat it, and formulate a new tacical plan for our next encounter. Metzger, I see you are in the need of repair and upgrades. Once you get those, I need you to repai this suit. Daughter dearest also ruptured the power core and killed me. Make sure that can't happen again." They salute and go on. "And Virusmon, don't serve meatloaf again or I'll dice you up and serve YOU to the crew." Virusmon says, "Yesssssssss, General Boss Sir.... Virusmon will do that." The airship flies away.

Back in the real world, everyone arrives back at Sora & Izzy's giant home. The TV is on, and the news is showing. Izzy says, "I must have left it on when we left." The anchor says, "Mass invasions from the Digital World still are going on across Japan and Asia. The worst invasions are so far been on the island of Korea, where 15 cities in North and South Korea are now held by this 'Dominion' as they call themselves. US sources have said they have guarded their digiports and locked down the internet to all locations in all locations except Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Guam, preventing an internet-made port from forming. Strangely enough, so far there have been no reports of fatalities though. The worst property damage is here, where the invaders now hold half the city, especially the convience stores owned by stock market billionaire, entrepreneur, and member of the Digidestined Miyako Inoue, and the condos owned by renowned soccer player and also Digidestined Taichi Yagami. When will all this end? For channel 666, I'm Kantsu Burokkujin." Izzy turns the TV off. "Looks like eternal peace is no more. I guess it's time to go back into service." Yamato says. Tetsuo says, "What of us? Mai said we were to be your replacements." Mimi says, "From today, I'd say you're kinda tenderfooted. Let's work together on this. We handle the armies here, and you guys can hold them off in the Digital World." Lewis says, "After some training though." Iori goes, "That was sloppy. You need better training and wisdom, and you need discipline. Recklessness will not win the war." Daisuke says, "Well, I AM the leader, but if you were told by Mai, then maybe I could to work with you, but if Hikari said so I'll be your best friends." Bonnie retorts, "Friends?! Geez, all I'm concerned with is you getting a bath!! Ya stank, boy!!" Mimi says, "And you need new clothes. Those scream, 'Made from 100% Burlap sack. That means shopping!!" Mimi, Sora, Lilymon, and Lewis jump up in glee and well 'YAY!!' Lewis adds, "Then we can get you a makeover, because that Robertson Cruesoe-Paradise Lost look is so 3rd Century Anglo-Saxon." Everyone looks at him strange. He says bluntly, "Guys can enjoy doing makeovers too." Jill comes in and says, "Sorry I couldn't help you guys.... Lily?" Lily looks mad and says, "We need to talk." Lewis says, "Well, I figure we need to get ready. Daisuke, come with us." Lewis grabs the bottle of pills Jou had used on Daisuke and leaves with the girls. Jou, Masato, Sora, and Ryo all say at once, "We'll see if we can find the other two digidestined." Iori says, "Everyone else with me so we can do some training." Everyone leaves quickly. Lily looks at Jill and says, "I want answers."

Meanwhile in the airship, Lance goes to his giant quarters and sits at a desk that has pictures of him with Holly, including one from his wedding. He sits at the desk and sighs. He looks at the pictures and thinks back to the fight and seeing Lily's expression when he spoke his crimes. A viewscreen comes on and the same womanly character in the crimson toga speaks to him, "Lord Fallon, Queen Malachimon wishes to see you." Lance swivels around in his chair and says, "You could have waited to tell me that when we got back to HQ, Heramon. We already notified you we were bringing in Vindicator 2 for repairs and receiving new battalions of Blitzkrieg Troopers. Next time, use this com line for emergencies only. Understand?" Heramon says, "Yes, Lord Fallon. Heramon out." The com station turns off and slides back into the wall. Lance goes back to looking at the pictures and says, "After 11 years, I still feel this, emptiness, this remorse. At times I wish I never got that order. I still miss you Holly."

What is the true story of Lily's life? Who are the two others they must find? Who is Malachimon and what is she? Does Lance really regret his acts or was it just guilt caused by seeing Lily? Find out in Bloodline, Chapter 2: Sins of the Father!!
