Bloodline: Descendants of the Digidestined

Chapter 4: Cons & Hackers

Prologue: Keiko recounts, "Well a month passed since Attorneymon fried Lewis's brain and sapped his knowledge. Oswald came, and became the best of friends with Daisuke. Araiya actually began to get scared and worry when he started to act nice to her, so she dragged him downtown, and Tetsuo, Bonnie, and myself were sent to make sure they didn't kill one another. The others got a distress call from Eucaryotemon, talking of a base on the Digital Moon. They went to handle as Jou went to get Jun and Yuuji. After many failed attempts, Araiya went psycho on Lewis and beat him senseless with a tire iron. This jump-started his memory, and for gratitude, he stole Araiya's car.... Those two must learn to get along. Meanwhile, the Dominion held a meeting of all the Council people on the Dominion. During the meeting, Attorneymon and Malachimon got into an argument over Lily, and then Jormungamon spotted them on the surface. Safiirumon and Jormungamon went down to the moon to intercept them, with Chris Finkelton on the Mach Nova herding them into the trap. They tried to flee, but an inept crew, and a poor command decision on Chris's behalf led to their capture, and great deals of pain for Chris. Lewis came home to find his house submerged in extinguisher foam, with Daisuke and Oswald the culprits. He stormed upstairs and entered a secret bunker in the house where he had stockpiled weapons and ammo over the years, and came back rearing to go. Jou got to the base and let Jun go in to save the others with Eucaryotemon by her side. The Mach Nova, now overran by Starbuck's, brutally attacked Neptune Zudomon, sending him back to his baby level of Pichimon. Jun reprted to Jou that they couldn't turn off the forcefields detaining the others, so he would have to kill main power somehow. Jou told Yuuji to shut down the main generator on the mountain while he kept the Mach Nova busy. Yuuji, skeptical, did the right thing and went up the mountain, but couldn't figure out how to turn it off. A Tyrannomon spotted him and his digiegg finally hatched. His digimon digivolved to her Rookie level of Nixemon to fight him, but when you're weak against fire, on the side of a steep volcano, and you have no legs you tend to find you are at a great disadvantage. During the fight, Yuuji manage to access the weapon system on his WCEDI and knocks rocks onto the generator, damaging it. Nixemon digivolved then to Ningyomon and continued fighting Tyrannomon. In the brig, Lotusmon decided she had enough and ripped a hole through the weakened forcefield. Those who managed to get through the small hole digivolved and busted them out. Just before escaping, Jormungamon ambushed them and attacked vengefully, especially after Gryphonmon blinded him. Just when everyone seemed doomed, Lewis slashed the Mach Nova in half in a daring surprise attack, and the others collapsed part of the base on Jormungamon. On the mountain, Ningyomon was getting exhausted fighting Tyrannomon, and the lava already started flowing, making the fight tense. Yuuji risked his own safety to distract Tyrannomon, buying time for Ningyomon to make to the small landmass in the lava. Then she digivolved to Ultimate form, Sirenamon. She froze the mountain trying to stop Tyrannomon.... Bad move, Sirenamon. The volcano and generator exploded, but after using her Siren's Song attack, Yuuji and Sirenamon rode the Tyrannomon down the volcano to safety, and Tyrannomon fell down and stunned Jormungamon as well!! Sirenamon and Yolei got in a little quarrel over Ken, then Taichi broke it up and they fled on Raijinkabuterimon. Attorneymon went down to the moon with Metzger, whom was wearing Lance's armor. Attorneymon used his attack that drained most of the digimon and gave Attorneymon all their attacks while electrocuting them. Taichi ordered us through the digiport, and he, Mimi, Paladin Lilymon, and Lewis stayed to fight them. Attorneymon leveled them all!! He knew how they operated, and their weaknesses. He stabbed and impaled Paladin Lilymon in the arm, gave Lewis the worst beating of his life, beat Mimi and Paladingreymon black and blue, then shot Paladingreymon so much and so badly he went back to a digiegg!! If it wasn't for Safiirumon, they'd all be dead now!!"

The start of November: Lewis is walking down a hall, saying, "Yay, I don't have to take anymore stupid sponge baths!! About time they let me out... Want to keep me for psychiatric evaluation... In my opinion they should keep Daisuke for evaluation. Now, time for a real bath. Must remember, they are still bruised, so I have to be careful." He goes into bathroom one... Sora screams. Lewis, "Dammit." Walks out. He goes to the next bathroom, and Lilymon sits in an empty tub dressed drinking Gin & Tonic. "Well, hello there.. han.. some. I could huggle all three of you..." Lewis says, "Well, you're plastered. Where'd the Gin & Tonic come from?" Lilymon staggers up drunk. "Oh, Oswald, and that nice kid with the scratchy goggles rode some pink elephants, and then when I still had my pain, they get me some of this, and I can't feel...." She falls over. "A thing." She staggers up. "Only thing that sucks are these things called.... damn, what the hell are they...?" "Hangovers." "Yeah that's it, white bandage mummy man.... A hangover." Lewis takes the booze away. "No more alcohol for you." She stands there, reeking of alcohol. "Aw, damn, that was the only bottle too. I need a cold shower..." Lewis pulls out a notepad. On it is listed, "Reasons to Kick Daisuke's Ass" and at number 14, he puts, 'Getting my Wife Drunk While Gone.' He proceeds to the next bathroom. In he goes, then, "Aw, hell, I don't want to see that!!" He runs out. Yamato yells, "Hey, knock next time." Lewis goes, "Why should I have to knock doors in my own house?" He goes on to the next bathroom. Before he goes in, he hears the sounds of Jou and Gomamon. "Geez..." He proceeds on to the next bathroom. Daisuke is in there, showing Veemon how to bathe. "No, see, you always start under the arms. That's where you smell the worst." Veemon says, "Well, I still say you start at the shoulders, work progressively down, then do the nooks and crannies, then the face last." Daiuske goes, "No, no, no, what universe are you from? If you do that, you're bound to spread foot stink under your arms." Lewis thinks, "If this is a civilized discussion, I'd hate to know what lazy laymen's discussion between them is? Maybe it'd have to do with something involving lighting their farts on fire." Lewis says, "Okay, I predicted it would be possible for 5 bathtubs to be in use at once, but there is NO way all 12 would be in use, and I had Lilymon made sure of that, because I got the key, just in case of an event where 11 were occupied." The next one had Yolei in there. She has just gotten out and was still naked. She looks at Lewis and says, "Ken, is that you?" Lewis, after seeing her, tried to slip away. "Hey, where are you going, Ken?" Lewis inches away. "Stay there Ken." Lewis, trying his best to respect her and keep his eyes closed, wonders, "Will she ever put on those damn glasses?" Yolei says, "Stupid glasses fogged up. Could you wipe them off, Ken?" Lewis just goes, "Uh huh." He opens his eyes just long enough to grab them, and quickly cleans them. He hands them back. "Hurry up already and put them on!!" Lewis starts to inch away and she says, "Stop being so shy, Ke...... Oh, crap, Lewis!!" She finally put on the glasses. Yolei hurls a shoe at him. "Why didn't you say anything?" Lewis answers, "Well, I thought all the hints I dropped by attempting to give you the slip would tip you off I wasn't him. I was trying to respect your intelligence, that, and even if I did speak, you would have still thrown the shoe at me. My goal was to avoid the hurling of the shoe." Lewis walks out. The next bathroom he came to, well, let's just say after this, he would have welcomed the shoe.

"Spiral Twister!!"

Lewis is shot out of the bathroom. Lewis grabs his side and yells, "Damn that hurts!!" He goes downstairs and tries the next bathroom, and Keiko is in their bathing. Lewis runs out saying, "Don't hurt!!" and runs into the wall. Keiko says from the shower, "Are you okay, Lewis?" Lewis gives a thumbs up and says, "I'm OK!!" He gets up, stumbles and goes on. He gets to the eighth bathroom where Hikari is already in the tub and Tailmon is close behind. Lewis enters, and Tailmon freaks.

"Lightning Claw!!"

Her claws scratch his upper chest. Lewis grabs the flesh wound. Tailmon goes, "Sorry, kinda instinctive." Lewis goes, "I'll take my leave now." He walks onward. "No way 9 out of 11 can be filled." He goes only to be towel whipped by a wet Bonnie. Lewis mutters, "I'm getting my ass kicked in my own house." Lewis goes to the tenth bathroom. "Tenth time's a charm." He cracks the door to hear Izzy singing in the shower and smells Tentomon on the toilet. Lewis goes pale. He quietly walks away. "Does anyone lock their doors anymore?" He goes to the eleventh bathroom. In there is Mimi bathing. Lewis cringes as he walks in. Mimi sits there kosher, everything important below the equator. She turns and sees Lewis. "Hello Lewis." Lewis waits for imminent pain, but nothing. Lewis nods and says, "I hope the day sees you well." And leaves as quickly as he came. Mimi goes, "I wonder what that was all about?" Lewis smiles and says, "Lily thought I was nuts for doing this, but I knew something like this would happen. He pulls out a key and unlocks the final, master bathroom. "Finally, a normal bath. Oh, I need to get a towel. I remember I took them all out of here." He leaves and Sirenamon pops up. She says obnoxiously, "I really need a hot bath to soak in and relax." She looks around nervously, then hops into the bathroom, closes the door, removes her armor and garments, and gets into the hot tub in there. Lewis comes back. "Funny, I didn't turn the hot tub on...." He walks in he sees Sirenamon laying in the hot tub, her fins hanging half out the other end. She is sitting there, massaged by the water jets, with a worried look on her face. "This feels good." She says like a bad actor. Now Lewis is pissed. "What the hell are you doing in here, Sirenamon!! I was going to take a bath." Sirenamon says, "The early bird gets the worm, Lewis. Please leave me be." Lewis doesn't even answer and starts to drag her out. He notices she is barely even touching the water. He says, "It helps to actually be in the water, otherwise you're wasting your time." She, in response, slaps a handful of water in his face, pushes him away, then summons a Great Nor'easter inside the bathroom. The winds and cold force Lewis out. "Great, now how am I supposed to bathe?" Araiya walks by and throws him a sponge. "Har har." He throws the sponge away.

The next day...: Mai signals everyone at Lewis's house. She does the whole floaty thing in the light like Gennai did. "I was looking through some of Gennai's old things and found a map on his computer. In one file, there was Tokyo, and on the other, the Digital World, and the maps were entitled, 'The Legendary Digimon's Possible Locations.' I'm trying to calculate where the most likely place is." Ryo asks, "What does this mean?" Lily answers, "I think it means Gennai was trying to find my digimon before he died." Eucaryotemon, who has now been in Lewis's house since the battle, says, "Also, can you confirm that the reborn Neo Spheremon has joined the Dominion?" Lewis goes, "Why wasn't I told this?" Mai says, "Yes, it happened two weeks ago. In fact, he is now the 14th Council member, in charge of Lunar Affairs." Gabumon goes, "Ah, hell!!" Yamato says, "Watch your mouth, Gabumon." "Sorry, Yamato, but I remember how hard he was the first time we fought him. We were lucky then in the fact that Europamon was able to enhance our powers and Digmon could mimic him. Even then it was hard and took a great team effort, of course the army that came after mopped the floors with us." Koromon adds, "If it weren't for the sacrificial efforts of Sea Lilymon, Bahamutmon, Procaryotemon, and Juclyotemon, I don't think we would have won." Koromon turns to Lotusmon and Urchinmon. "If it weren't for your sacrifices, we wouldn't of had the strength to go on and fight Obliviomon and Beelzebumon!!" Lotusmon says, "Strange, I don't remember anything about what you are saying." Hikari says, "That's right!! When I in the year 1969, she didn't remember me, yet she distinctly met me on the Digital Moon. Strange thing is, when me, Manny, and Moonglow attacked Area 51, she could remember Bahamutmon, just not anything else about her past." Mai says, "Maybe the keys to restoring Lotusmon's and Urchinmon's memories lie with the digimon. But in any fashion, Lily must make an odyssey out to this location in the Digital World to search for it." The map marks an Android city in Dominion territory. Keiko says, "We can't just let her go alone. She will need protection in case Attorneymon comes for her. I'm going with her." Sakiko answers sarcastically, "Well, I'm not about to let my own step-child go out on her own. I'm in." Lily sighs and rolls her eyes. Lotusmon looks at Masato. Masato thinks, "If it will help her... How do I get myself in such jams?" She says, "I'm in." Bonnie and Romeo says, "Okay, fearless leader. Lead on." Jun answers, "I will help aid your cause." Yuuji says, "You can count on me." Tetsuo is about to join in, but Lewis says, "Tetsuo, I need you to stay and take some.... final lessons." Iori says, "Great, there goes 12 years of discipline..." Lewis says, "Don't worry, he'll still have his discipline, he'll just be 'truly one' with the universe." Ryo is going to volunteer, but Izzy says, "I think that's enough. You can help on this side." Taichi says, "I guess they're finally ready to fly solo." Sirenamon says, "No one said flying was involved." Yolei says, "It's a metaphor, tuna brain." Sirenamon jumps on her, strangling Yolei, and Yolei strangling her. Daisuke yells, "Catfight!! No, wait, there's no cats involved... What would it be called?" Mai sighs. Ken and Wormmon break it up. Wormmon detains Yolei by holding her hair, since she was on the ground, and Sticky Netting her hands to the floor. Ken pulls Sirenamon off Yolei and holds her in a full nelson. Wormmon says to Yolei, "Now play nice, Yolei. Can't be fighting ourselves ya know." Oswald says, Yes... Wait for us to get the bikinis and the mud ring...." All the girls whack Oswald over the head. Lewis shakes his head and says, "What a moron..." Ken says to Sirenamon, "Now you shake and make up with her." They are let go and make to shake, but Sirenamon begins crushing Yolei's hand. They are interrupted by Lilymon screaming from her bedroom, "What the hell... Dammit, keep it down!! Can't you tell I'm hung over!! My head.... Daisuke, Oswald, when I get better, I'm gonna kick your asses!!" Mai says, "Well, with no further interruptions, shall you depart?" Lily nods. Mai sits there and a beam comes from the light. It hits Lily's and Keiko's WCEDI's. I now just upgraded your digivices with the same portable digiport technology that the original 10 have, but this can bring forth anything of your choice in the surrounding 20 feet of you into the Digital World or Digital Moon and back with you, so everyone huddle up. I guess I'll see you after you find your digimon, Lily." The light goes off. "Digiport Activate!!" Miyako goes, "Hey, that's not right!! It's 'Digiport Open!!'" Lily and the rest vanish in a flash. Lewis looks like he got a crazy idea and leaves, saying, "Tetsuo, stay there with Zenmon. I'll be back. Oh, and feel free to help the ladies pummel Daisuke and Oswald." Tetsuo says, "I wonder what this training is." Zenmon, who has been quiet for a while, says, "Maybe it is a mission of enlightenment. Maybe some 'pummeling' will be a good warm-up." The girls close in on them. Daisuke says, "Maybe we can negotiate... Please don't hurt my pretty face." They jump them. Oswald yells, "I'm a bleeder!! Oy, the pummeling, and the hurt!!" Daisuke screams, "Stop it, Hikari, that's my hair!!" Lewis goes out into the barren back yard and walks over to a console. He hits a button, and a part of the ground opens, revealing a hangar of sorts. "Knew I built this for a reason.... Didn't know why I wanted it, I just like I needed an underground adjacent to the bomb shelter when I told them to build the house.... Oh well. Just hope it's still there." He uses his EDI to go back to the Digital Moon. "Ha HA!! It's still here!!" He walks over to the wreckage, but Dominion followers are already scrapping the front half of the Mach Nova. "Stop, interloper!!" A Giromon yells. Lewis says, "Uh, no." He runs to the rear half, clamps his EDI to the hull, and holds on for dear life as power surges and the digiport nearly collapses. The Giromon signals to base, "Sir, a Digidestined just stole half of the Mach Nova!!" On the other end, Chris yells, "How did that happen?!!" "Well, he put that digivice thingy on it, and then, boom, he was gone, ship and all. We can still salvage the front half." Chris turns off the com port and curses. "Damn it!! If I still had those Starbuck's people, they would of shot him and been done with it." Col. North says, "Or they could slowly kill him with the high cream, highly caffinated Espressos they serve." Chris lowers his mask. "Good point. Now I must brood and come up with a new plan. Fetch me my brooding mug, peon." Col. North gets him a black Starbuck's mug and fills it with coffee. Chris takes the black mug and goes to his quarters with both mugs, muttering, "What to do, what to do!!" Lewis though, is gitty. "Now, how to repair it and make it useable...." He climbs the stairs out of the hangar and closes it. Araiya asks, "What was that flash of light?" Lewis just spits an excuse out. "Aurora Borealis." Araiya goes, "Say what?" "You know, the 'Northern Lights.'" Araiya gets a jaded look on her face. "You're telling me, that the Aurora Borealis happened here, in the middle of the day, in this time of year, this far south, all in the confines of your back yard?" Lewis grins, "Yep. Ya never know when or how the Aurora will act." Veemon, walking by, hearing it, says, "Sounds logical to me." A few tense seconds pass. Araiya goes, "Okay, but I'll be watching you..." She leaves. Veemon asks Lewis, "What was that all about?" Lewis shrugs his shoulders. "Hey, tell Tetsuo I'm ready for him." Veemon goes, "Okey dokey." He walks back into the living room, where the girls still persist in beating the two dimwits. Veemon says, "Hey, Tetsuo, Lewis is ready for you." Tetsuo and Zenmon leave. Daisuke says, "Watch my back, Veemon!!" Veemon goes over there and looks at his back. "You were punched in the back four times and kicked once..." Daisuke thinks, "Oh brother...."

In the Digital World, Lily and the others are on a grassy knoll, Jun and Yuuji wearing outfits that look like they came from the Matrix. Lily and Keiko were still in their normal garb. Masato was wearing ancient samurai armor. Bonnie for some odd reason was in the same outfit Ken wore as the Digimon Emperor, minus the glasses and spiky hair. Romeo was wearing a cheesy lime tuxedo with a flame design on the jacket. Sakiko was in a red evening gown with slits down both legs and a gun holster (The type worn by detectives and federal agents) over and around her arms and shoulders, and on her feet are red high heels, but the heels are short. Everyone looks around. Bonnie says, "Makes you wonder how much this whole wardrobe costs in the real world..... This is the oddest outfit I ever saw....." Keiko says, "I remember Ken & Miyako explaining why Daisuke, Miyako, Yolei, and Iori's clothes change when they go to the Digital World. They even said that during their battle with Obliviomon, they were wearing their Digital World clothes in the real world.... I think Ken called it.... Residual Self-Image, how we really view ourselves made digital. Said that term from the Matrix fits this phenomenon." Romeo says, "Well then, it screwed up somehow.... The flame idea is cool, but I don't dress this cheesy in real life...." Jun says, "Maybe Yolei's awkward fashion sense finally caught up to you." Lily says, "We can drool over our new threads later. We have to move out." Just as they leave, Bonnie goes, "Is that a book depository over there?" Sakiko goes, "Maybe... I don't know." Meramon asks, "Okay, just what's a book depository?" Bonnie, "It's like a warehouse for books." Keiko mentions, "Say, wasn't there a book depository and a grassy knoll in Dallas, Texas?" Bonnie says, "Yeah, they are the two most prominent points involving the Kennedy assassination in the 1960's...." Andromon says, "Do not look at me. I was not that second gunman." Lily says, "No one said you were, Andromon." Keiko says, "Let's get off this knoll before something bad happens." Everyone heads down the hill. They climb a second following the map given. On the way down the second hill, Sirenamon loses her balance and rolls down the hill, hits a bump, and smacks a road sign. Sirenamon mutters, "I think I got purple mountain majesty rammed up my nose and mouth." She spits out grass. Everyone runs down to her. She is laying there on top of the road sign, half of her hanging over one side, the other half on the other side. "Please get me off this sign. It really hurts, but my back has never felt better..." Bonnie shoves her off. "Meramon, can you read this?" The sign is in digi-code. Meramon says, "Highway 70-D, one-quarter mile ahead. It's a road sign." Jun says, "Aren't all signs in the Digital World supposed to be translated to English and Japanese too?" Romeo says, "Something tells me we in Dominion territory now." Scarletmon asks, "How can you tell, Romeo?" "Well, that's a big city over there, a military structure there, and that sign down the road says, 'If you can Read This, Then You're in Dominion Territory. Turn Back Now.'" Lily looks at her digivice at the map on the screen. "According to this, if we stayed on the course on the map, it'd take almost a day, but if we take the more direct approach, we could be there in a few hours. Good work, Sirenamon!!" Sirenamon trying to get up, but is losing her balance. She holds on to Bonnie's cape and Bonnie smacks her off. Sirenamon whines, "What did I do to her...." Lotusmon and Yuuji come over and help her up. "Why is Bonnie so mean?" Meramon says, "Well, I guess it's either her disdain for those she feels are not her intellectual equals or superiors, that, or the fact that she is used to being in control of situations. She really needs to cool down." Andromon says, "A Meramon telling someone to cool down. That is something new." They press on. Bonnie says, "Their borders have less protection than the US/Mexico border." They go on.

On the station, Malachimon sits in her private quarters, looking sad, wondering how Lance could do what he did. "I trusted you.... I hired a methodical killer, not the man who saved my life...." Attorneymon comes in. "Queen, Malachimon, what do you wish to be done with the vile Lance Fallon?" Malachimon looks at him and says, "Detain him in his quarters. I'll figure something out." Attorneymon leaves. "Oh, I'll detain him....." Attorneymon heads downstairs, where he sees Evamon and Safiirumon there waiting for him. Safiirumon says, "I have good reason not to trust you....." Evamon adds, "So, as a medical order, for his safety... We installed a security camera in the room." Safiirumon says, "I've also told Vulcan Lilymon and Sigmamon to guard the door." Stefan returns. "I completed the mission Lance gave me.... Where is he?" Attorneymon says, "He's being detained for murder." Stefan goes, "Murder?" Attorneymon grins and says, "Yes, it seems he is the legendary murderer of Holly Wick Fallon. Sickening how her own husband was the mastermind that killed her. Why, we don't know." Stefan asks, "Then, who do I report to?" Before Safiirumon can finish saying 'Me,' Attorneymon answers, "From here on out, you will service me. You will take orders from Skull Satamon and myself." Attorneymon has a more evil look than usual on his face. "Join me in my office." Stefan follows and sits down. "Now, tell me what you learned." Stefan goes, "Well, I found out where most of them now reside." "Knew that." "I know three of the Digidestined are still too injured to fight." "Knew that." "A man named Oswald lives with them. We could use him as leverage." "Knew that. Aren't you the least bit useful?" "Well... Lewis did steal part of the Mach Nova, and most of the young Digidestined are out on their own in the Digital World, following some map Gennai made." Attorneymon hits his fist on the table. "That's what that prick was doing when I killed him.... Damn it, Gennai.... But why.... Stupid forgetful Gennai...." Then it hits him. "He was searching for the means to free the Megami. That wench is using it to find a means to releasing the Megami!! She has to be taken out. Send an order to Metzger, Ramon, Devimon, and Neo Spheremon to intercept them.... Where are they, anyway?" Stefan says, "I didn't get to see the map, but I heard where they going. They said the old Android city on the outskirts of our Digital World holdings." Attorneymon rolls his eyes and says, "Well tell them to deploy there!! Tell them to be sure to destroy the leader of the group." Stefan runs out of the office. "An added bonus.... Not only will I get rid of Lance Fallon, but I will have Lily Fallon's head on a platter too."

Back at Lewis's house, Taichi, Mimi, and Sora meet with their digimon. "Taichi, why did you call this meeting?" Eucaryotemon and Europamon come in. Europamon says, "Well, we just found out the rumors are true. Not only is Neo Spheremon alive and a new member of the Dominion, but rounded up all his Lunar cronies and old Overlord chums and vastly increased the Dominion's forces. Some even say he is taking orders from Attorneymon." Eucaryotemon says, "We remember how much of a challenge he was the last time we fought. If he sent out to attack now, all could be lost." Mai comes back. "This is right, Eucaryotemon." Taichi says, "The reason I called this meeting was because it looks more and more likely that we will have to pull the old Power Nexuses out from the vault use them once more." Mimi says, "No way!!" Sora says, "We made a promise, after we returned from helping those Digidestined in that alternate dimension (Read "Digimon Zero 3" by Excel Ultimamon to understand comment just made), we locked them away in that vault and vowed never again to use them because of the detrimental effects it has on you and me." Taichi says, "So what if it nearly kills you and me, Sora. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Mai says, "I think they are right, Taichi. I feel the new Digidestined can handle this. If I didn't, I would have never mentioned the map." Koromon says, "You're outnumbered 5 to one." Taichi says, "Koromon, Biyomon, you're taking their side too!!" Biyomon says, "Well, your safety comes first to us." Mai says, "They can handle it. Have faith in them." The light goes away again.

In the backyard, Lewis stands there and says to Tetsuo, "How do you feel?" Tetsuo says, "Fine." Lewis goes, "Well... I mean emotionally. Are there any emotions or feelings you wish to unleash?" Tetsuo says, "I have been taught to be patient and keep my emotions in check." Lewis says, "There is something to be said about keeping your emotions balanced, but I notice you act as though you lack them." "It is how I keep them in check." Lewis shakes his head, "No, no, no.... That isn't true peace..... You lie to yourself. By doing that, you deny your emotions, bottling them up, and then they get unleashed in a fury of chaos, like when Araiya bashed my head in with the tire iron. You must be truthful with the universe, and yourself. Now, I want you to unleash all your emotions, but not all at once." Tetsuo starts trying. Lewis looks at Zenmon. "This is going to be hard..... You want to do it?" Zenmon looks at him cock-eyed and says, "You are a strange and twisted little man. I shall meditate now. Now bugger off." Lewis looks at him. "That was good." Tetsuo is still trying. "Maybe being Araiya's grandchild has something to do with it.... I may need a deprogrammer."

Lily and the others enter the city about mid-day. Sirenamon says, "I am so hot and tired." Keiko says, "I know it's warm." Lily goes, "That's right." Bonnie says to her, "All of you shut up and stop whining. The rest of us are just fine." Jun says, "Uh, Meramon, you are kinda making the heat worse, ya know." Meramon backs off. Bonnie goes, "Ever since Sakiko, Scarletmon, Yuuji, and Sirenamon joined, our efficiency has dropped. I say when this escapade is over we get rid of the deadwood and dismiss the losers." Sirenamon retorts, "Hey, maybe on the way back, we can tie your legs up in a sack and bind them with rope and let you hop for 12 miles under blazing heat and see if you feel fine then!!" Romeo says, "Well, Yuuji and Sirenamon do slow us up." Bonnie exclaims, "Someone agrees!!" Lily says, "We stick together. We are Digidestined!!" Bonnie says, "You suck as our leader, Lily." Romeo says, "You are inept. In the end, the smart, beautiful, and popular have the power. If you screw up again.... we may just have ourselves a coup de etat." Keiko and Sakiko take them and say to them, "No one will be overthrowing anyone while we're here. Lily is our leader, and she will remain our leader." Romeo says to Keiko, "Hey, there. This is the first time ever saw you get mad.... You calm down there." She drops him. "There, that's better." Sakiko says, "If you hurt her, I'll make sure to it you have the hospital bed next to her." Bonnie says, "Is violence all your Cro-Magnon mind can understand?" Sakiko throws her to the ground. Devimon, from the roof of a building, looks at them and says, "They seem to certain to self destruct.... I like that Bonnie girl's style. Still, orders are orders. Say, where have I seen her outfit before?" Lily says, "We have to move on!! The quicker we get this done, the better." They continue. Sirenamon sits there tired. Masato comes back. "What's wrong?" Sirenamon says, "Well, besides how tired I am, I think those two are going to get us in trouble somehow. I don't trust them. They're self-centered and power hungry...." Masato says, "Well, they don't scare me. I've seen worse." Lily goes back to them. "Come on guys, we don't have time to waste." Yuuji says, "Be patient, Lily. It's not going anywhere. Your digimon will still be there whether we find it now or take all week." Lily says, "Yuuji, you are so wise." Bonnie turns around and yells, "Dammit, hurry up or we're going to leave you." Suddenly, an explosion comes from a building and Gigadramon, Devimon, and a Xenozombimon jump Bonnie and Romeo. "Digivolve!!"

"Urchinmon digivolve to Krakenmon!!"

Bonnie's digivice glows....

"Meramon digivolve to...."

In a blast of light, he turns white and looks like a butch human with blue hair and brown pants. Chains wrap over his torso and steel-toed boots with a metal skull on them are on his feet. A metal mask flies on his face and blue flames burn on his body.

" ....Skullmeramon!!"

He turns at Gigadramon.

"Metal Fireball!!"

He scores a hit on him, throwing Bonnie free. "You two get away!!" Skullmeramon says. Before they can flee, Mugendramon busts up from the ground and grabs them. Devimon looks at the digimon... He grins. "Feel the Touch of Evil!!" Skullmeramon and Krakenmon scream. Lily pushes everyone into an alley. Jun says, "Aren't we going to help?" Lily says, "We can't help them if we're prisoners ourselves!! Besides, maybe it'll give them a lesson in humility." Sakiko says, "You have a point, Lily. What now though?" Lily says, "Well, we have to save our friends. They will probably keep a heavy guard on them.... You guys can hold off the goons, and I'll go in and free them. One can sneak in better than 10 can." Yuuji says, "You'll risk your own life for them and still call them friends even after threatening to overthrow you?" Lily says happily, "Well, I can't hold a grudge against them. They are part of the team, and I have to help them somehow. I want to make a pact now. We never leave a member behind." Masato says, "It's agreed." Sakiko, "Damn straight." Yuuji, "If you can trust them, so can I." Jun, "You have my support." Keiko, "They need to learn to cool down, but okay!!" Lotusmon, "They may be meanies, but they probably have decent centers. Why else would Gennai have chosen them?" Scarletmon, "What are we waiting for!!" Andromon, "They are as vital as pistons to an engine. Besides, their companions are nice folk." Sirenamon, "Well, I don't know... Bonnie hurt my feelings, and both Yolei and Romeo are hotheads..." Lily smiles and says, "Don't let them get you down." Keiko, "Look on the bright side of things!!" Sirenamon, "Okay then!!" Just before they can turn the corner, Lily's digivice glowed.... Lily looks at it. "According to this, Digimon Energy Power for my digimon is up to 20%...." Keiko, "It must be those sincere feelings you just voiced. It must of sent power to the digimon." All the digivices glow.

"Tulisapia digivolve to Sun Lilysapia!!"

"Lotusmon digivolve to Lotomon!!"

"Lotomon digivolve to Sunflowermon!!"

"Andromon digivolve to Neo Andromon!!"

"Scarletmon digivolve to Gryphonmon!!"

A voice booms out, "Digidestined.... I know you hear me. If you do not arrive in the center of town in 20 minutes, your friends shall be ground up into a fine paste and packaged, then sent to a McDonald's somewhere in Los Angeles as ketchup." Lily grimaces... "Ew...." Ramon asks, "Why did you say that, Neo Spheremon?" Neo Spheremon answers him, "Well, it's more original than 'dead meat,' and you have to remember, they are children. You can easily screw with their minds." Ramon, "Why not kill them now?" Neo Spheremon, "Simple. In order to get away with the crime, we have to make it look like an accident. Now, I have planted ambush points all across the city to sap the strength of the digimon. By the time they get to the center of town, they will have de-digivolved. Then we use the other Digidestined digimon to blow up the munitions. Remember, the munitions factory is in the center of town. When it blows, we can say they engaged us, but missed, blowing up the factory and themselves in the process. Perfect cover-up. Besides, it's more fun this way." Ramon, "What if that fails." "It won't, but in case it does, I have back-up plans." Everyone is running when a group of Mekinorimon flies out from the alley.

"Demeter Darts!!"

"Splash Turrets!!"

"Fist Missiles!!"

"Talon Crush!!"

"Neap Tide Cyclone!!"

Sirenamon leaps into the air amidst the Mekinorimon, spins with the halberd outstretched, water flying from the blade. The water makes a spiral around her, then blasts out, pounding the Mekinorimon, then she lands in the pool of water made, spins, and saws them all in half. Masato says, "I have a bold idea..." As they run on, they encounter another set of Mekinorimon. Scene cuts to the kids being dragged to city square by Mekinorimon, digimonless. Devimon and Mugendramon are there. Mugendramon asks, "Where are the digimon?" The Mekinorimon says, "They were destroyed in the melee." Devimon says, "I should destroy you for your insolence. Put them over there." The Mekinorimon herd them over near the factory and they don't resist. Neo Spheremon looks and says, "Something's up... Their digimon are in the Mekinorimon!!" He radios Mugendramon, "Those are imposters!! The digimon are IN the Mekinorimon!!" Lily says, "Looks, like the gig is up!!" Andromon's Mekinorimon aims at the guards surrounding Bonnie and Romeo and fires a Twin Beam. Sirenamon parks hers on the sidewalk and jumps out, distracting Mugendramon. Devimon yells at Krakenmon and Skullmeramon, "Finish them all off!!" They turn at them. Romeo says, "Hey, buddy, pal.... You don't want to fry us....." Masato screams, "STOP!!" as she runs over and gets Bonnie and Romeo clear, but instead Krakenmon ensnares her. Masato, bound by the tentacle, forgetting her fear, says, "Do your worst...." Her necklace and digivice glow brightly.... Krakenmon in forced to drop her. An explosion of orange light spreads around her. Everyone but Lotusmon covers her eyes as the light nears. Lotusmon outstretches her arms as the shockwave hits, she glows white.....

"Lotusmon Warp Digivolve to... "

Scenes from Agumon's Warp Digivolution flash by quickly. After the 3rd flash a freeze of Wargreymon drifting off into the distance really fast, going to black. Masato's digivices floats into the scene. An explosion just like the one that came from Masato goes from it, hitting Lotusmon. She glows white. The view swivels to viewpoint behind the digivice. It zooms at Lotusmon, the view spinning around showing a light hitting her. A blast of light, Lotomon. Another blast, Sunflowermon. The beam begins to end and she rears back, all white. When the last of the beam hits her, yet another explosion comes from inside which leads to an all white background. As the shockwave passes, she changes again. The petals around her hair fall out, the turrets and sword blade vanish, and her legs fuse together. Glowing all white and only her outline is visible is a Sirenamon-like figure with Sunflowermon's wings. The background changes to underwater as she rushes from the water to the surface. On her arms appear two sea-green Lilymon gloves with white petals on them and a coral armband locks onto her right arm. Rising from the water is a coral spear wrapped in vines with a Chromadigizoid spearhead, surrounded by a decorative crescent and two lilies. She grabs it in her left hand. A tiara of flowers materialize around her forehead, around the sides, and form a ring around her head when the sides meet in the back. Her blue human-like eyes open. Her white glow goes away. The view goes to high overhead in the clouds, and zooms down onto a lake shaped like the Crest of Courage surrounded by a forest, with her hovering over the center with sea green leaf wings, a white tank top over her torso, with sea-green vines wrapped over it the same way the golden vines on Lilymon's dress wrap around it, and blue fish scales on her lower body down the fins. Her long blue hair blows in the air from the beating and flapping of her wings. She raises her staff into the air and the water rises from the lake as leaves and blossoms blow around her. Her name comes out from behind the wall of water.

" ...Sea Lilymon!!"

Sea Lilymon 'stood' there after the shockwave. Masato said, "I did.... that?!" Sea Lilymon turns at Krakenmon. "Heel."

"Water Lily Crescent Beam!!"

She fires a blast, smashing Krakenmon into building, pinning him to the side with the leaves from the attack.

"Opal Spiral!!"

The swirling hammers the helpless Krakenmon and blasts a Black Gear out of him. he de-digivolves to Urchinmon. Mugendramon says, "mega or not, we have the advantage."

"Giga Cannon!!"

He shoots at the munitions factory. Jun thinks, "If he hits that factory, all came for, all we did, all we learned, will have been for not.... We must stop him!!" Andromon gets out of the Mekinorimon. "What is happening?" Her necklace and digivice glows. Devimon says, "Ah, hell." Teal light surges from her, and an explosion of teal light scatters across the terrain. Andromon awaits it with open arms. It hits and he glows.

"Andromon Warp Digivolve to... "

Scenes of Araiya's Andromon Warp Digivolving flash by quickly, and after the second flash, a freeze frame of Xaviomon drifts into the distance. Jun's digivice spins into the black area, and there is an explosion. As the shockwave passes, the background turns teal, and Andromon glows as it hits him. A similar panning move involving the light from the digivice happens here, and hits Andromon. A flash, Neo Andromon. The beam ends, he arches back, and an explosion blast out from inside him. As it passes, his size nearly triples as thick armor encompasses him. The white background fades into a city, and the white glow on him fades as claws protrude from his humongous forearms. The view goes to the outskirts of the town, and zooms rapidly, going through a car window, and back to him, walking towards the middle of an intersection which has the Crest of Devotion painted on the pavement. He uses his Ballistic Missile Barrage attack and levels the whole block. As some of the dust clears, he is seen in the dead center of that intersection, the last thing last. From the smoke and dust chrome letters rise.

" ....Xaviomon!!"

The shockwave passes by with him walking from it. Mugendramon says, "Two Megas, big deal." Xaviomon raises his right arm as he walks.

"Triple Claw Grenade!!"

The claws intercept the Giga Cannon attack moments before it hit the factory. Bonnie says, still tied up, "Damn, seems someone's been eating their Wheaty's!!" A Metal Fireball whizzes by. "Eep." Skullmeramon comes at her with the chain. "Eat wall!!" She sidesteps, kicks him in the butt, and he hits the wall, and is now stunned. Bonnie is stamping out her shoe. "Hot shoe, hot shoe!!" Romeo, "Anyone gonna cut us free anytime soon?" Over around Devimon, Sea Lilymon and Sirenamon are fighting him. Lily yells, "We're pushing back to the park!! Yuuji, tell Sirenamon and Sea Lilymon to lure Devimon there!!" Yuuji runs out. "Follow me Sirenamon, Sea Lilymon!!" Sirenamon jumps in Sea Lilymon's arms as she flies away, with Yuuji leading the way. Devimon angrily pursues, smashing buildings. Yuuji sees the park. Neo Spheremon thinks, "So there heading for the park...." He says, "Arm Park Defenses!!" Turrets pop up from under the ground. Yuuji thinks, "They expect.... No, they NEED this park cleared to be safe." He yells, "Sea Lilymon when you get past this building, turn the corner and fly to the roof!!" Sirenamon answers, "Are you crazy, Yuuji!!" He retorts, "They need me to get Devimon to the park, well, I'm going to do it, and take out the guns too!!" Yuuji had a plan of his own. He thinks, "Good thing I'm a fast runner!!" He turns to still see Devimon in pursuit. "Come here, brat!!" He closes, but then Yuuji stops. Devimon keeps going and Yuuji trips him, and also get knocked down. Devimon loses controls and goes rolling into the park. The turrets sense his body heat and start shooting him. "Stupid automated defenses!! Feel the Touch of Evil!!" He smacks the turrets, blowing some up, then causing a chain reaction, destroying a whole line of turrets. Devimon gets up slowly and sees Yuuji running.... at him. He thinks, "What is this brat doing, a suicide run?" Yuuji bends over and runs as fast as he can. The turrets lock on to him. Sirenamon, "NO!! Stop, Yuuji!!" They start firing, but by the time they did, he was at Devimon's ankles, and he got shot instead. Yuuji got as low as he could running as the turrets shot Devimon's feet. He starts dancing in pain. Yuuji runs right between two turrets, making them shoot each other, blowing them up, and four others around it since they also shot each other. The turrets, sensing the heat, shoot at the explosion and destroy one another. Neo Spheremon says, "Smart boy.... Blasted outdated equipment." Sea Lilymon and Sirenamon come down from the roof to Yuuji's side. Devimon, screaming says, "Your tomfoolery will insure your suffering." Yuuji says, "It's not my fault my daddy taught me all about infrared gizmos and how they work." Devimon rises up, bloody and screaming, "You will pay!!" He starts glowing. Yuuji, "Did we win?" Sirenamon answers, "I don't think so."

"Devimon digivolve to Vamdemon!!"

"Crimson Lightning!!"

The first bolt strikes Sea Lilymon, the second hit her again, and then the third..... Yuuji rears back in pain. He falls over. The next swipe hits Sienamon into a building. She slides down the wall. Yuuji lays there crying, "I caused this to happen to you two...." He beats them again. Vamdemon turns to Yuuji. "My bats need a meal...."

"Grizzly Wing!!"

The bats head towards him... Yuuji thinks, "I need you, Sirenamon... You need me.... I'm sorry for getting you in this mess." Sea Lilymon gets up shoots away the bats, but then a bright light came from Yuuji necklace and digivice, a grey light. Vamdemon cloaks himself front it. An explosion of grey light lets loose. Sirenamon is hit by the shockwave.

"Sirenamon Mega Digivolve to... "

Sirenamon hovers in a fog, then the view to a 3/4 overhead view of her as four jets of water shoot up, a ring like the one in Jogress Digivolutions riding atop the geysers. Sirenamon glows as mini light beams shoot up from the ring. She glows as the ring swallows her. She comes out into a white area, her blonde hair even longer, her scales now blue. She is wearing armor almost exactly like before, but it is mostly gold Megadigizoid, and armor on her arms and the shoulder plates are coated except on the edges in pearl. She is now wearing a Chromadigizoid chain mail tanktop under the cuirass. The Crest of Reliability is still engraved in the shoulder plates. On her left arm is a forearm plate and golden gauntlet. On her right arm is a collapsible pearl coated golden MDZ shield with the Crest of Reliability on it and another gold gauntlet. Her fins have gotten longer and the inside edges look like they can cut a tank in half. She holds a harpoon-like spear in her left hand. She raises her spear into the sky, and a tsunami washes across the land, leveling everything.

" ...Undinemon!!"

Her profile pops up. Bonnie reads, "Sirenamon has digivolved to her Mega level, Undinemon. Her massive armor and shield along with her hardened fish scales insure she is well protected from harm. Her sharp fins are a painful weapon in her Fin Kick attack, and she also commands the waters, ice, and winds with Raging Typhoon, Tempest Seas, Kraken Killer, and when she wields Yuuji's digivice, she has the use of a frosty little move she calls 'Deep Blue.'" Scene goes back to normal. Vamdemon says, "Hah, 3 Megas... You new children are weak!!" Undinemon jumps up.

"Fin Kick!!"

She descends, he moves over, and she slices his arm and rips up his cape. Sea Lilymon gets up and in the air.

"Water Lily Crescent Beam!!"

"Grizzly Wing!!"

The two collide, neutralizing one another.

"Kraken Killer!!"

Undinemon jabs the spear into Vamdemon lower back, putting him in dire pain. Yuuji finally is able to get up. "Here come the others!!" Bonnie and Romeo lead the way, still tied up, being chased by Skullmeramon. Sea Lilymon says, "Undinemon, you handle vampiro and I'll go stop the rampaging ally."

"Fin Kick!!"

She knocks Vamdemon down and is pummeling away on his face. "Works for me!!" Sea Lilymon flies over Skullmeramon.

"Metal Fireball!!"

Sea Lilymon says, "Whoa there, big boy!!! Filleting me is strictly prohibited."

"Aura Elixir!!"

The Black Gear leaves him. Skullmeramon staggers and says, "Oh.... Can I ride the merry-go-round...." He stands there for a moment getting his bearings back. "Let's update. Apparently we are now fighting Vamdemon and Mugendramon.... Eh, makes sense enough. I remember a Mugendramon, and that's good enough for me." He goes berserk shooting Metal Fireballs. The park is burning. He stops for a moment. Skullmeramon, sounding like Beavis, "Heh.... heh.... FIRE!! FIRE!! Yeah... Fire's cool!!! FIRE!! YEAH!! Cool...." Bonnie says, "You can continue your pyromaniacal fixation with your fire in a moment, but first.... UNTIE US!!" He touches the ropes and they burn off. He goes back to shooting Metal Fireballs. Bonnie says, "Romeo, I think when he hit that wall he killed a few brain cells in the process." Neo Spheremon sits from atop the tallest building in the city. "What the hell.... They're burning the whole city down!!" Ramon says, "Well, next time you plan ahead, plan for the possibility of higher power digimon, fool." Neo Spheremon says, "No one calls me a fool." Ramon says, "You forget who's in charge." Metzger answers, "Uh, me." Ramon says, "Okay then, you come up with a plan." Metzger says, "You dolts.... We have massive armies. They don't. End of story. The fire will cover up the evidence of a fight. Thank you, Skullmeramon." Down on the streets, Undinemon and Sea Lilymon sarcastically tell Skullmeramon, "Hey, thanks for making Hell on Earth, Skullmeramon." Vamdemon says, "Could someone kill the fire. I'm beginning to get a tan."

"Raging Typhoon!!"

Heavy rains and a tsunami wash down the street, toppling small structures and putting out some of the fire. Skullmeramon is about to do more Metal Fireballs when Lily says, "No. Bad Skullmeramon. No more fire for you." "Aw...." Xaviomon slams Mugendramon into a smoldering building, toppling it.

"Dragon Fire!!"

Xaviomon is blasted to the street and skids along.

"Giga Cannon!!"

Xaviomon is knocked airborne. He takes advantage of this, faces Mugendramon, and lets him have it.

"Ballistic Missile Barrage!!"

The missiles brutalize Mugendramon. He though, gets back up. Xaviomon gets target lock. Xaviomon responds, "Hasta la vista, baby."

"Triple Claw Grenade!!"

The center claw hits Mugendramon in the head, then the other come at him. "Uh oh....." The claws go in his cannons. The cannons explode, and start a chain reaction. Then Mugendramon himeslf blows up, his parts decompiling. Lily says, "Give up, Vamdemon. You can't take 3 Megas on!!" Vamdemon, who now is so tan he looks Hispanic, says, "Uh, but I think they can." Bonnie turns around to see a giant army. "Ah, shit." Lily looks at the army and says, "Bonnie, you took the words right out of my mouth." Keiko goes to Yuuji, who is having trouble standing. "Poor thing.... He beat you so bad...." Bonnie yells, "Aren't you the least bit worried about that army?" Keiko says, "No. I am worried for Yuuji's sake. He is hurt so bad. I am not afraid of these digimon, for I know the power of Light will prevail." Bonnie says, "You're weirding me out." Sakiko says, "No, she makes perfect sense." Metzger stands from a roof and yells, "Don't sit there.... ATTACK!!" Hoards charge. A tower of pink light glows around Keiko.

"Tulisapia Warp Digivolve to... "

As like the others, scenes of Tailmon's Warp Digivolution flash by. At the last scene, it drifts off. Her digivice lets off a pink explosion. As the beam hits her, a flash, Sun Lilysapia, then another explosion. On her left arm slides on a golden CDZ gauntlet and forearm plate. On her right hand, an object like Tailmon's Tail Ring slides onto her middle finger. The light fades from her and shows her in a purple almost-wet suit-like body suit, and looking 5 years older. Two flowers in her hair bloom. The background goes from white to her standing in front of a Buddhist pagoda with an overcast sky and flower & bonsai garden around it, then she flies to the top of the pagoda, the sun clearing the clouds, the blinding light flashes, her name in the background, blossoms flying up from the ground all around her.

" ...Hyancinthasapia!!"

Yuuji profiles her. "Keiko has become her Mega from, Hyancinthasapia. Using the Holy powers she now has with the plant digimon DNA she was born with in her, she has the plants and holy light at her beck and call. Plant Spirit calls forth divine ghostly vines from the Earth to whip, beat, ensnare, crush, or pummel foes. Photosynthesis Ray calls forth a brilliant green light to home in on wrongdoers and vaporize them." Metzger says, "Oh, 4 Megas.... I'm so scared..." Vamdemon departs into the shadows. "I'll mop them up later." The army attacks. Undinemon is thrown up into the air and hits the side of a building. She is hanging on to the side. "That looks like a long way to fall. A Gigadramon fires a Dark Side Attack at Undinemon. It flings her off, but three stories from going splat, she gets an idea. She stabs her spear in, then flips down and lodges her dagger sharp fins into the lower ledge, then flips again, stabbing the spear into the next lower ledge, and so on until she reaches the ground. "Who says you need to be Spiderman to scale walls?" Sea Lilymon yells, "Masato, throw me your digivice!!" Masato doesn't question the request and throws it to her. She activates the weapon form of it, the broad sword, uses the vines on her spear, and somewhat 'fuses' the two together. She holds it up and says, "To the digimon who can catch this, I'm giving away $500, in unmarked bills, courtesy of Lewis Wick!!" Scene cuts to Lewis. "Hey, I'm $500 short. How'd that happen?" Back to Sea Lilymon. "Here... CATCH!!"

"Artema Storm Saber!!"

Lightning and raindrops fly from the strange weapon concoction as she throws in front of her and it arcs to the right, Slicing through digimon on the ground, a fog rising. It begins to ascend, spiraling around her, a fog forming and slowly lifting into the sky. It continued to slice digimon until it flew above the buildings, where it finally stopped spinning and fell back into her hands, the fog gone. As suddenly as it ended, building blew up, split in half, digimon were diced to pieces, and those lucky not to get deleted were gravitationally stuck to the ground. "I feel like I weigh a ton!!" One digimon yells. Another yells, "Then go on a diet if you're that concerned. I only feel like I gained a few tons myself." Metzger says, "Incompetent dregs... You, the competent dregs of society, attack them!!" He orders reinforcements to strike. Keiko flies into the air.

"Photosynthesis Ray!!"

It hits many of the Digimon, but they charge on. Metzger says, "These are Mega and higher digimon. Let's see you mow them down." They rush in and the digimon hold their ground.

Hikari is sitting. "Where did Malachimon come from? I mean, she doesn't look or act like any other digimon. She's evil, yet kind. She leads armies to attack nations, but won't hurt a soul, and won't allow her forces to either. Who is this 'father' she talks of? I have so many questions about her..." An eerie sense passes through her after that thought. She sees images of the new kids being destroyed by Neo Spheremon, and him and Attorneymon bursting into a room, a throne room, with Vamdemon, Neo Spheremon, and a digimon she never saw before, and senselessly attacking someone. As they stop, Hikari sees the face of the victim. "That's me... It can't be me... I don't have black hair...." She can see more of her. "Malachimon..." She lies there, helpless, looking at Hikari, a tear running down her face. Suddenly, the face of Obliviomon flashes in her memory, the the vision ends. Hikari holds her head. "What just.... happened?" She sees the kids again.... "They're in trouble..." Araiya says, "Don't worry. They're just fine. If they were in troub...le..." The EDI comes on. "We are under heavy attack here. We don't know how much longer we can hold out against Giga digimon!!" Jun screams. Ken comes in. "I heard the distress too. What can we do?" Araiya says, "Well, the guys except Lewis and Tetsuo are out pushing armies back into the Digital World, Miyako is salvaging her store's HQ, Yolei is helping her, and Lewis, Tetsuo, Zenmon, and Andromon have mysteriously dropped off the face of the planet after going into the backyard. I can't even pick them up on the EDI's tracking system." Wormmon says, "That leaves Tailmon and myself with Hikari and Ken." Ken looks at Hikari.... "Hikari, I have looking at you recently, and I made a startling discovery that may just stop those Dominion goons without shedding a drop of blood." Ken goes to his room and boots up his computer. "At first, everyone noticed this, and thought it an odd coincidence, but I investigated the matter further." Araiya, "And the point is?" Ken, "I'm getting there. This is a 3D recreation of Hikari. If you move over, Araiya, I can give a beter view." He hits a key and a holographic version of Hikari pops up, rotating. Araiya asks, "Where did you get a holographic projector?" Ken says, "Izzy, Takeru, and myself made it one rainy week." He uploads another image. "This is the picture and data the Digimon Analyzer saved of Malachimon." He shows it spinning next to Hikari's body. "I zoomed in, checked, and except for their hair and their clothes, they are a 100% match. You have the same color eyes, same height, same voice, same scars, same everything. Even your fingerprints match." Hikari gasps. Ken continues, "The Digimon Analyzer also recorded a strange mystic power about, the same one that eminates from Hikari. This is a farfetched theory, but I'm willing to bet that if you got close enough to Malachimon with the Crest of Light, it would react to her, and maybe even glow." Araiya says, "The similarities are scary, but how does this help?" Ken says, "Simple. Hikari will order them to cease fire. All we have to do is get a proper wig and a matching outfit." Wormmon says, "I know!! What if you design the suit and wig on the computer from Malachimon's profile and then transfer it to Hikari's EDI? It seems sure to work, and it won't cost us a thing." Ken says, "That's an idea there, Wormmon." He starts uploading Malachimon's outfit to Hikari's EDI. Hikari asks, "What happens if they don't listen?" Tailmon responds, "Didn't you hear Ken? You and Malachimon look and sound exactly the same. There is no way this can fail." Ken says, "I have to set up the system and send the pirate signal, so somebody will have to go in and get the kids. Araiya, I want you to take Wormmon with you. The only other assistance is a long shot." Ken stands in Lilymon's bedroom. "Lilymon, we need you..." Lilymon says, "Oh, not so loud!! My head...." Ken whispers, "Well, we need your help to get the others to safety." She leans over, misses the trash can, and pukes on Ken's feet. "Oh, I am so sorry, Ken.... It's just, the room is spinning." Ken says, "It's okay. Sorry to bother you." Lilymon staggers up and falls into the closet door getting up. "I didn't say I wasn't going to help. Say, tomorrow will be more, right?" Ken says, "Yes. So?" Lilymon says, "Well, would you help me take and string up Daisuke and Oswald outside shirtless during the night. I have a little payback in store for them." Ken wonders, "Well, why'd you drink in the first place?" Lilymon says, "The first time was an accident. I thinked they spiked something of mine, or it was theirs and didn't know it. I need to get new cups. I didn't remember this until recently, but I told them to get me something good while out getting some food and Lewis said that when he got back, he wanted some cooking Bourbon to season some food with. Apparently, I asked for whatever I had as well, and then, as it began to wear off, I drank more, then Lewis found me in the tub, soused out of mind." Ken says, "This all happened yesterday?" Lilymon standing, says, "Yeah.... The worst 24 hours of my life.... But at least my arm doesn't hurt anymore. My head hurts instead." Ken adds, "We got to hurry up. I'll carry you." Lilymon says, "I'll be fine." She flies into the door frame. "Maybe you should carry me." Ken thinks, "With her low body mass, it's a wonder she didn't pass out or poison herself." Along the way, they grabbed an ice pack. "Oh, that's the stuff!!" She puts it over her eyes. Ken runs to the others. Araiya says, "Why are you carrying her? She's still hung over from her little fiasco last night, isn't she? Tied on one too many, didn't you, Lilymon?" Lilymon shouts, "Don't start it, Araiya. Just because Lewis isn't here, it doesn't mean I am now open game." Ken says, "Stop it. I couldn't convince her to stay while her own granddaughter is in trouble. Would you abandon Tetsuo if he were in trouble and you were incapacitated?" Araiya reflects on that. Ken goes, "Where's your heart, Araiya?" Hikari says, "We'll settle this later. We have Digidestined to save." She hits the button and they all flash to the outskirts of the city. Hikari is dressed in Malachimon's outfit and wearing the wig. Araiya puts Ken's laptop on the ground. Hikari says, "Leather may not breathe, but I think I see why the bad guys like to wear it, and Lewis too. This gauntlet feels strange, Ken." Ken says, "You won't have to wear it long." Ken goes over to the computer. "Lilymon, you have to get out of my arms now. Lilymon?" Lilymon, "Zzzz....." Sure enough, she fell asleep in his arms. Wormmon says, "Don't worry. I'll get her down."

"Sticky Net!!"

He makes a silk matress on the ground.

"Silk Thread!!"

He fires one around her feet, and another on her shoulders. He pulls her feet down, then goes over and slowly lowers her shoulders and head. Tailmon says, "She wanted to help so badly, but just wasn't well enough. That's true courage right there." Ken says, "Araiya, you and Wormmon go and get them away. When you get to the outskirts, we'll send the bogus signal." Araiya nods. "Let's do it!!"

"Wormmon Warp Digivolve to Grandkuwagumon!!"

Araiya jumps on Grandkuwagumon's back. Hikari says, "Did you really hear the distress?" Ken, working on the laptop, says, "I heard the message, but beforehand I saw this wierd sight. There was Attorneymon, Neo Spheremon, Vamdemon, and Skull Satamon brutally beating Malachimon. She laid there, looking at me, crying. Then I saw Obliviomon's face and shuddered." Hikari goes, "Who's Skull Satamon?" Ken goes, "No one important. I found a file on him afterwards in the Digimon Analyzer." Hikari ponders, "Strange... Last time I checked, we never met a 'Skull Satamon.' He's hiding something."

Xaviomon just unleashed his arsenal again, bringing down another wave. He is badly dented and torn up. Ramon exclaims, "They are in ways, quite formiddable. No matter. Psi Team, ad..." Neo Spheremon says, "No need to waste anymore troops on foes who persist on attacking. Their strength is almost legendary, even scary. Reminds me of me. We need a major strike, fast and hard. They may be strong, but strength is fleeting." Metzger answers, "I agree. Call back all troops and then we ourselves will hit them." The armies start to leave and the badly injured digimon and Digidestined celebrate. Neo Spheremon floats down and says, "I didn't know you liked me that much." They stop. Sea Lilymon looks at him. "Neo Spheremon, how dare you show yor face again." Memories of the fight and her time beforehand play in her mind. "Murderer of the Moon, we beat you once, and we'll do it again!!" Neo Spheremon laughs. "Last time you had to gang up on me, I was alone, and you had your friend Paladingreymon rip me up with his infernal sword, but he's not here this time.... Uhh.... I'm scared."

"Lepton Driver!!"

"Aqua Vault!!"

She bounds up to kick him, pushing off her spear. They collide in the air, and Neo Spheremon falls on top of her, pinning her down by her top wings with his spearheads. Neo Spheremon whispers to her, "This time, you're helpless." A laser-guided drill emerges from him, targeted for her head.

"Fin Kick!!"

Undinemon lodges herself into Neo Spheremon's side. Stuck in his side, she begins to skewer him with her spear. Sea Lilymon yells, "Undinemon, widen the hole!! That's how we beat him last time!!" She wedges the spear in, widening the wound. She takes hold of the Digivice/Halberd and takes it over her head. Artic winds swirl into the blade and a blue mist covers it.

"Deep Blue!!"

She rams it into him and freezes a great deal of his outsides. Sea Lilymon whacks up with her fin and shatters the spearheads, and throws him off her. Xaviomon turns about and attacks.

"Ballistic Missile Barrage!!"

It rips up Neo Spheremon's side and exposes a more tender area. Ramon jumps down and tackles Xaviomon, then picks him up and throws him to the ground, tripping up Skullmeramon in the process. "Inferior heathens. The dripping of your blood will clear the way for our armies."

"Eye of Ra!!"

The seering plasma bolt throws them skyward. Ramon looks up at them, staff in hand.

"Sun Staff!!"

He takes pot shots at them with the energy bolts the staff shoots, then as they descend, he swings the staff and smacks them like they were speeding baseballs. They crash into one of the singed buildings, through it, then it topples down onto them. Technomon and Candlemon crawl out from the wreckage. Ramon walks up, his haunting voice, "Ra consumes all." He lowers his staff at them, but then phantom vines smack the staff away, then wrap up Ramon. "Infadels!!" This act bought Technomon and Candlemon enough time to get away. Ramon rips the vines apart. Undinemon, still stuck in Neo Spheremon's side, punctures away, freezing him up. He says, "Fish-girl. Go home and watch your soaps. If I'm right, on right now is 'As the World Turns!!'" He spins, throwing her free and smashing her into the side of a building. She falls down in front of Yuuji, de-digivolving to Sirenamon, covered in what seems to be Neo Spheremon's metallic blood. Yuuji feels of her on a spot covered in his blood. "She's so.... cold..." He removes his hand, still covered in the metallic substance. "No, this is cold. Very cold." He begins to try to rub it off, but begins to feel his hands go numb. His fingernails are blue. Sirenamon wakes up. "Stop it, Yuuji, before you lose your hands to frostbite. Besides, don't worry. Ice and cold don't hurt me that much. I'll live." She holds his hands, hoping to warm them up. Neo Spheremon exclaims, "She has made me bleed. No one has ever drawn my blood before." He concentrates. "She has also frozen this wound open. I can't heal it now. I shall make her pay for this dishonor."

"Perfect Sphere!!"

Energy blasts accelerate from his outsides all over. One blast heads for Yuuji and Sirenamon. Sea Lilymon jumps in the path, taking the blast for them. She rolls over on the ground by Sirenamon. Masato screams, "Sea Lilymon!!" Yuuji looks at her, the wound on her abdomen. "She's.... bleeding." Yuuji mentions in shock. Masato runs over. "Sea Lilymon, are you okay?" Sea Lilymon says, "Oh, ya think.... I hurt so bad..." Masato says, "We have to slow the bleeding." Yuuji asks, "How?" Masato says, "If we can lower her body temperature, the bleeding will slow down until we can get help." Yuuji says, "This metal stuff on Sirenamon!!" Sirenamon says, "It can work, but we'd need something to put it in." Masato says, "That's right, Sirenamon!! In order to prevent giving her frostbite!! Quickly, what can we use?!" Bonnie, Romeo, Jun, Technomon, Urchinmon, and Candlemon join them. Romeo, "What's going on here?" Masato says, "We have to find something to put this freezing metal stuff in so we can use it to lower Sea Lilymon temperature so doesn't bleed to death." Bonnie looks at Sirenamon. "If I'm going to be part of this little outfit, I should at least do something." She looks again at Sirenamon, and at her armor. She goes over to her, and says, "Romeo, Yuuji, help me remove these chains!!" Sirenamon exclaims, "What are you doing!!" Bonnie says, "One of your shoulder plates would make the perfect bowl. Metals are poor insulators, and is sure to cool her without giving her frostbite. Besides, you can show some shoulder for a little while." She manages to remove the plate. The chain that held it in place with the other plate clanks on her cuirass. "Romeo, digivice." Romeo tosses her his digivice. Masato asks, "Why do you need his digivice?" Bonnie goes, "Well, his digivice has a narrow sharp edge, perfect for siphoning off powders and liquids. Why do you think drug addicts always carry razor blades with them? Objects that narrow are excellent for siphoning up their drugs." She runs Romeo's digivice down the lower part of Sirenamon's armor and her scaly lower body, filling the shoulder plate with the cold metal. Bonnie hands Romeo's digivice to Sirenamon and holds the plate in front of Masato. Masato takes it and lays it on Sea Lilymon's abdomen. Lily runs up. "Guys, we got to...." Keiko hits the ground hard and reverts to normal. "Flee." Lily finishes. Ramon says, "All bundled together in one group. This makes our mission easier." Neo Spheremon says, "Remember Ramon, they are always full of surprises." Ramon answers, "Their 'surprises' only work on the feeble-minded. You yourself were defeated the first time you fought them." Ramon flies at them. Sea Lilymon turns to Bonnie. "Thank you for helping me." This struck a chord in her. "No one has ever thanked me for using my skills and knowledge before. Everyone fears me, but she is still nice to me." Her digivice and necklace start to glow. Sirenamon yells, "Look out!!" Sirenamon knocks Bonnie down, then throws Romeo's digivice at Ramon.

"Sun Sta..."

The digivice's sharp edge slices open Ramon's right arm before arcing back. The shot still fires, hitting the building behind them. A chunk starts to fall. Bonnie runs over to Sirenamon, who is fallen and right under the rock. She starts to drag her. Romeo catches his digivice. Bonnie looks up. "We're not going to make it out from under it."

"Dimension Scissors!!"

Grandkuwagumon flies overhead just in time to destroy the rock. A cloud of rubble mists down on them. Sirenamon says, "I had you pegged as a mean computer thug, but now, I see you in a new light. You knew it'd crush you too, but you came for me anyway." Bonnie wnats to cry, but is trying to keep a macho persona about her. "Sure." Lily calls out, "Araiya, where are the others?" She says, "Busy. I couldn't even find Andromon so I had to come with Wormmon!!" Grandkuwagumon says, "Now, let's hold these losers off!!"

"Grandkuwagumon Warp Digivolve to... "

The scene flashes to the last part of Grandkuwagumon's Warp Digivolution. Suddenly, the ground cracks open with light. It explodes, catching Grandkuwagumon in a beam of light in midair. Everything goes white. His weigh shifts, putting him up on his hind legs. His front legs have a surge of energy run down them, metamorphing them into a lower set of arms. His wings turn golden. His manibles disappear. Silver Paildramon-like armor wraps over his torso. Silver forearm plates with a Paildramon-style gun on the top of them and the Crest of Kindness of the sides appear on his top arms. In his bottom hands, deadly katanas twirl and slash with fatal force. The light is gone and a torrid storm brews along the edge of a forest. He raises his arms, the winds grow, trees fly at him. He slashes up the first 4, then shoots semi-automatic mortars at the other trees, blowing them into sawdust. Rain beats down on him and his armor.

" ...GrandOkuwamon!!"

Araiya profiles, "GrandOkuwamon is the long awaited Giga level of Wormmon. This insectoid digimon uses the recessive XVeemon DNA in his body from his Jogressions to Paildramon alter himself to have body armor, guns, and walk on two legs. His armor though is silver Megadigizoid Metal. His katanas are constructed of over 4000 layers of Megadigizoid metal folded atop one another and forged together into a sword. With them, he slices foes apart in a move called 'Rift Splicer.' His guns, he blasts mortars at a semi-automatic rate in his 'Casatrophe Cannon' attack. Finally, GrandOkuwamon is a lord of the sky, can summon great winds, tornadoes, and storms to do his bidding in the 'Great Nexus.' To be honest, he's handsome for a bug." GrandOkuwamon grabs Ramon and throws him into Neo Spheremon. "This is going to be hard alone!!" Araiya thinks, "Hurry up, Ken!!"

Lilymon wakes up. "Ken, what happened?" Ken answers, "Well, you passed out in my arms after we came to the Digital World. Wormmon made a bed for you, and Araiya and Grandkuwagumon went after the kids. We're here trying to send a pirate signal to trick them into leaving. Hikari here will be playing the part of Malachimon." Lilymon says, "But didn't Hikari get cut from her school's production of 'West Side Story' for being unconvincing?" Hikari looks at her annoyed. "I wasn't cut. I was replaced." Tailmon says, "I don't remember it that way." Ken, "Neither do I." Hikari, "Oh shut up. That was one play anyway. You forget I was encored for being a great Titania when we did 'A Mid-Summer Night's Dream.'" Ken responds, "Checkmate." Lilymon adds, "Well, she has a point." Tailmon, "Funny, I don't remember it that way." Ken laughs, "Sorry to say this, but Hikari's right. I've known you for 41 years, and 40 of those years, you've had the memory and attention span of a goldfish." Tailmon says, "Ken, I do too have a memory, and I'm listening to you right no... Ohhh..... shiny." Ken dangles a pen in the sunlight. Tailmon taps it around for a few second fascinated by the shininess, then snaps out of it. "Ken, stop it!! Take one accidental acid trip and you suddenly become the butt of everyone's jokes." Lilymon says, "Hey, I'm not staggering about, and my head isn't pounding..." The sun comes out from behind a cloud. ".... As bad.... I'm going to help now." Ken says, "Be careful. We should be ready to send the signal soon." Just as she leaves, Tailmon jumps on Lilymon's head. "Yeow!!! Her claws are digging into my head!!" Tailmon goes, "Hey technicolor flower. Cats say meow, not yeow." Ken tries to pry her off Lilymon's head. She starts to cry. "Her claws are sharp, and they hurt." Hikari says, "Leave Tailmon alone." Lilymon yells, "Easy for you to say!!" Hikari says, "She did the same thing to me last June. Best thing to do is wait for it to pass or her to get bored with you. I know how this plays out. She called me a technicolor flower as well when she clamped on. Trust me, pulling her off is the wrong thing to do." Lilymon says, "So that explains the bald spot you had last year!!" Ken says, "I guess you should go then." Tailmon says, "Look at me!! I'm Patamon!!" Lilymon flies on. Hikari says, "I should ask Manny how potent his stuff was. It's disturbing how she can go from her normal witty self to someone as ignorant as Dan Quayle and wierd as Tom Green in a split second."

GrandOkuwamon sends Neo Spheremon to the ground and then is hit by Ramon with his staff. GrandOkuwamon falls to his knees, then stands back up.

"Catastrophe Cannon!!"

He shoots him up, and one of the shots fractures Ramon's staff. "You insignifigant magot.... You broke my staff."

"Eye of Ra!!"

He sends his plasma blast for him, but GrandOkuwamon evades it and he hits Metzger. "That's coming out of your pay!! This armor is expensive!!" Metzger yells. While Ramon is distracted, GrandOkuwamon strikes again.

"Catastrophe Cannon!!"

He blasts Ramon into Neo Spheremon's side. "Fool!! Now I can heal myself!!" He steals Ramon's body heat and uses it to liquify, then seal the wound Undinemon dealt him. He then 'spits' Ramon out, cold and shivering.

"Lepton Driver!!"

He flies at him when GrandOkuwamon sidesteps and draws his swords.

"Rift Splicer!!"

He cuts off the spearheads and leaves a wound. It quickly seals up. "Heh heh heh." Bonnie sees the pale and cold Ramon and gets an idea. "Candlemon, you know what happens to water when it boils?" Candlemon says, "It evaporates." Bonnie says, "Notice how Neo Spheremon 'liquifies' when he heals. It stands to say that stuff keepine Sea Lilymon cooled off is part of Neo Spheremon. If we can't freeze him...." Candlemon finishes, "Then boil him!!" Her digivice glows again. "You think you're up to it?" Candlemon says, "Sure." Bonnie, "Then let's melt us a ball bearing!!"

"Candlemon digivolve to Meramon!!"

"Fireball!!"

The fire hits him, but doesn't faze him. "Try again!! I'm sure he'll boil over!!" Her necklace glows, and there is an explosion of purple light. It hits Meramon as he stands there glowing.

"Meramon Warp Digivolve to... "

Scenes of Tentomon's Warp Digivolution flash by. They drift off to show Bonnie's digivice sending out a shockwave of light, revealing a purple background. A blast of light hits the glowing Meramon. A flash of light, Skullmeramon. When he glows all white, an explosion rips out from inside him. As the shockwave passes, all that is left is a glowing metal endoskeleton. Over the skeleton except the skull metal muscles cover him. Green necrotized flesh bounds him everywhere except his head and his feet. Holes in his chest show his metal undercoat. Dark brown pants cover his lower body, and leather straps wrap up his lower legs. On his feet, a brown malleable substance wraps over his feet, and Chromadigizoid boots with spikes on him appear. On his knuckles, bolts protrude from his flesh and a spike sticks out of his right arm. Armbands cover his biceps. A headband of sorts covers his forhead, and the area of his skull around his eyes turns a green/gold. A double-headed axe falls from the atmosphere in flames. He catches it in his right hand and raises it up in celebration, then places it on special clamps on his back. The white background fades. He stands in a wheat field. He raises his fist up, a ring of fire runs up it, flashes, then he slams his fist into the earth. A wave of fire covers the fire and incinerates the field. The wheat sits there for a moment, then collapses into ash. He stands fists closed with a mean look on his face on a scorched wasteland.

"... Boltmon!!"

Bonnie profiles him. "Boltmon is the Mega form of Meramon. This Android digimon utilizes his giant axe and pyrotechnic touch to incinerate whatever gets in his way. His arm is filled with accelerants and ignited in his 'Tomahawk Knuckle.' Talk about a bad way to get a tan!!" Boltmon leaps up off GrandOkuwamon's shoulders and onto Neo Spheremon.

"Tomahawk Knuckle!!"

He duplicates the move he did at the end of his Warp Digivolution and pummels his fists into Neo Spheremon. "Stop it!! You're warping my superstructure ya little firebug!!" Metzger leaps at Metzger, but GrandOkuwamon grabs Metzger and flings him into the ground. Metzger retaliates with a volley of missiles, but GrandOkuwamon dodges them. Neo Spheremon starts to spin. Boltmon though has other plans.

"Tomahawk Crush!!"

He pounds his axe into him, and a chain reaction of fire 'snakes' and explosions extended out a small radius from the axe. After that, Boltmon held on to his axe for dear life, trying to continue flailing away at Neo Spheremon with his right fist. "Getting warm for ya?" Neo Spheremon goes, "It is a little steamy. Near where Boltmon is, parts of his outside start to boil. Jun says, "I think I should of brought this up earlier, but where's Sakiko and Scarletmon?"

Meanwhile, on the other end of town about the time GrandOkuwamon arrived, Lilymon is racing down the streets with Tailmon firmly clamped on her head. Tailmon asks, "Hey, why is your hat pink, Takeru?" Lilymon hands her a quarter. "Here, look at this." Tailmon just looks at it, and at how intently she looks at it, you'd swear that she would start burning a hole through it. Then she looks up and says scared like Haley Joul Osment, "I see senators...." Lilymon asks, "What type of senators?" Tailmon replies, "Honest senators..... 110 of them." Lilymon shudders, "That IS scary!!" Just as they neared the others' location, Vamdemon jumps out from the shadows holding Sakiko and Scarletmon. "Stop right there, or they become the quicker guano picker-upper." gatomon snaps out of flashback. "Vamdemon!!" Vamdemon snaps his fingers and a Mekinorimon and a Phantomon take Sakiko and Scarletmon. "Why I'll be!! The two ladies who marked the beginning of the end for evil. I've heard of the mighty exploits of Tailmon, and I remember you from File Island, Lilymon." Tailmon says, "What is he talking about, Lilymon?" Lilymon answers her, "Well, when Mimi and I worked together before you joined us, and even before we left File Island, I was able to mysteriously digivolve to Ultimate in Toy Town, before any of the Digidestined knew of tags, crests, or even Ultimate digimon. Warumonzaemon somehow appeared in Toy Town. I had no idea how it happened. I mean, Monzaemon always guarded the town, but where did this very powerful Ultimate come from? Memories of that day are vague from all the blows I took, but I remember my first break was a sword flying out of nowhere getting me free of his grip, then the Numemon protecting me, then, after I digivolved, Andromon came to help, but even he couldn't stop him, then Mimi's crest glowed from her heart, and I went to Ultimate in record time. I creamed Warumonzaemon, and after this peculiar gold rimmed black gear left him, he was Monzaemon again." Vamdemon answers, "Right...." Lilymon goes, "You were the same Devimon from File Island!!" Vamdemon goes, "No, that wasn't me, of course, he was fine example of evil. No, I was only Demidevimon then... I was sent to spy on the Digidestined." Tailmon says, "You were the old Vamdemon's fat round goon!!" Vamdemon says, "Goon is such a bad word. I prefer associate!!" With that he whips Tailmon. Then he uses the Crimson Lightning to hurl her into a building. He turns to Lilymon. "My old boss had the right idea about you when he froze you down in his Nightmare Claw. You should be honored too. You were the only digimon he ever used that attack on." Lilymon goes, "If that was honoring me, I'd hate to see how he would have shamed me." Sakiko yells, "We can reflect on the good ole days later!! We're being held hostage hear?! Get with the shooting!!" Phantomon responds, "Children these days have no patience." Vamdemon goes up into the air.

"Crimson Lightning!!"

"Flower Cannon!!"

The two clash. The lightning and blast annul one another. She rebounds of a wall and into air.

"Grizzly Wings!!"

The bats zoom in, and she accelerates into the sky. As they turn up at her, Lilymon points her Flower Cannon and unloads 6 shots quickly. The blasts vaporize the bats in a storm of petals. "You're much better than the last time I saw you, but you still lack a means to avoid this!!"

"Nightmare Claw!!"

He blasts it at her, but she quickly turns and it misses her. "Oh, hell no you didn't!!" Lilymon yells. Vamdemon exclaims, "Phantomon, is it just me, or has she gotten a lot surlier since we last met?" Out of nowhere, Lilymon closes in. "Dodge this." She uppercuts him, blasting him through the wall of one of the buildings. Meanwhile, on the ground....

"Lightning Claw!!"

Tailmon pounces and slashes Phantomon in the face, blinding him temporarily, then takes his scythe, raises it over her head, and smashes it through the Mekinorimon cockpit, killing the Bakemon pilot. While blind, Sakiko punched away at Phantomon. "I don't get paid enough for this, I'm outta here!!" Tailmon goes eyeing the scythe, "And I get a neat souveneir too!!" Back in the building, Lilymon is flailing away using various martial arts moves. High kick, roundhouse, double kick, jabs, bicycle kick, double roundhouse, then a scissors kick. Vamdemon goes, "Where did this meddlesome flower child learn all this?" He then spits out three teeth. "Flower child?! That is so year 2000!!" She goes to punch, but he grabs her fist, but then she unclenches her fist and starts to strangle him with her fingertips. He pushes her back, then grabs a coffee table and cracks it over her back, knocking her down.

"Crimson Lightning!!"

He starts beating her with the red lightning, slowly knocking back to the hole. "You're aim may have gotten better, and you added a few flashy hand-to-hand moves to your skills, but sheer power always beats out speed in the end." He hits her again, sending her falling to the street.

"Nightmare Claw!!"

This one hit hard. Lilymon yells, "Oh, not again!!" Her voice trails off into agony. Sakiko looks up and thinks, "I have had many loved ones, and they always protected me, but everyone I ever loved has died. Even my father...." Scarletmon says, "I'll get her!!" Sakiko shakes her head, but it's too late. "He is so much more powerful, they'll get destroyed..... But if I truly loved them, I'd be more concerned over them than him... I just don't want anyone else I love to die.... In a way, it does seem inevitable..... No, what I'm saying isn't right. I have to support them in their beliefs, otherwise I wouldn't care a lick about them...." She screams, "Go get her, Scarletmon!! I love you!!" Her digivice and necklace glows, and then her hair blows up, and she glows. A shockwave of red light glows from her, and a spire of fire raises into the sky. As the light hits Scarletmon, she glows...

"Scarletmon Warp Digivolve to... "

Scenes of Biyomon's Warp Digivolution flash by and fade away. After the digivice explodes in light, a blast of light hits Scarletmon. A flash, Gryphonmon. Another flash, Silvergryphonmon, a liquid metal version of Gryphonmon. A final flash, and the internal explosion. From the blast comes a shapely woman, her right hand a giant talon-like appendange with giant lion claws. Fires consume and surround her as her hair blows in the fire. A red girdle-like piece of armor wraps up her abdomen area. Six spouts of fire, three a piece, slither up each leg, creating a groin plate and leggings. From the fire come almost slipper-like armor boots. On her left arm, a hefty shoulder plate is branded onto her, and from this burns down arm plates. On the forearm plate, giant claws extend past her hand. From the fire a golden metallic eagle flies out and lands on the girdle-like piece, fusing with it and protecting her upper chest. From behind her, out of the fire come what looks like two Chinook engines. A phoenix flies out and closes in on her back. As it does, it slowly metamorphs into a golden metallic bird, which fuses to the engines, then the engines burn in new back armor, and clamps on. More armor wraps over the girdle from the engine. An armband with the Crest of Love appears on her right forearm. A Sylphimon-like helmet leaves the fire, and as it does, the fire ceases to reveal the sky. The helmet lands on her head, a gold bar over her forhead, and down from it a transparent orange visor lowers over her eyes, which after visor is in place she opens. Her white glow goes away, and shows her to have a caucasian flesh tone and orange hair. Two missiles fly at her. The first she crushes in her talon-hand, and the other she slashes with the claws on her forearm plate, the claws flaming, and slices the missile to pieces, and setting it on fire, and it explodes shortly after. The view goes to her point of view as she flies up through a cloud shaped like the Crest of Love. After she does, the view zooms from eyes back away a little.

" ...Phoenixgryphonmon!!"

Lilymon does Phoenixgryphonmon's profile. "Meet Phoenixgryphonmon, really long name, easy to say. She is a Mega digimon that possesses mastery of the fire and wind elements. Boltmon, eat your heart out. Her Heavy Metal Duty, or HMD, Efreet Claws make Boltmon's Tomahawk Knuckle look like a pocket lighter. With the jet engines on her back, she can do the steamy Chinook Firestorm. Finally, she has a devastating typhoon powered flaming ramming attack called Gale Force 1." Phoenixgryphonmon flies up and grabs her easily. She flies over to a rooftop. Vamdemon laughs, "I handled two Megas easily. What makes so different?" Phoenixgryphonmon puts Lilymon down and says, "Maybe this!!" The jets flip over, the jet end pointing up, then they slide over her shoulders. Handles pop down, and a targeting cursor appears in her visor.

"Chinook Firestorm!!"

She grabs the handles and hit the buttons. The jets roar as the turbines take in air. Gale force steam, exhaust, and fire scream at Vamdemon.

"Grizzly Wing!!"

The bats are incinerated instantly, and the attack continues. Vamdemon braces for impact. It hits him and he is on fire and flying right into the building he was just in. She finally stops and he manages to stop in mid-air, his cape and a lot of his shirt burned off and second degree burns on his chest. She flies at him at high velocity and suddenly ignites all around herself, looking like an actual phoenix.

"Gale Force 1!!"

She crashes into him, putting him through the wall and into a lobby. Suddenly, the phoenix that the others saw fly from Sakiko hit Phoenixgryphonmon.

"Phoenixgryphonmon Warp Digivolve to... "

Everything is ablaze as the digivice flies in like a jet and the screen opens to fire a white flame at Phoenixgryphonmon. She glows again, and all her armor melts off and the metal slag is blown away. Desert winds blow sand all around the glowing girl. The sands enter, and a bolt of lightning hits her. Angel wings sprout from her back and throw feathers all around. Her ears become longer and elven-like. A long tail grows, and she makes a full revolution. The fire passes over her and vanishes afterwards. The fire leaves a red wet suit-like body suit outfit with only a long left sleeve on her. A white cuirass with dangling belt plates attached to it flies at her and suits up on her. It looks similar to Seraphimon's armor, especially the hanging plates over her legs, but the torso part was more broken up to allow movement and smaller to fit her. On the chest part, below the area that covers the breasts, a golden eagle design is on the armor. The Chinook engines fly back. One flies off. It meets up with Phoenixgryphonmon's old claw plate, upper arm armor, and her shoulder plate. The shoulder plate gets taller and a fuel tank slips inside (Now it looks almost Gundam-ish), a hose goes from the plate to the engine, and covers the intake end. The engine fuses to the forearm plate and slides onto her arm. Two rings that are half-covered in solar panels fly with the other Chinook engine as it breaks in half, the front becoming ring-like with a blade and a coil on it/ The ring attach to the cuirass around her shoulders, and the ring goes on the end of her tail. The rest of the engine splits in half lengthwise, the two sides flying apart and becoming wing armor. Her armband returns, now white, and smaller, and it goes onto her neck. A gold trimmed white Seraphimon style shoulder plate arrives on the scene and lands on her right shoulder. Emblazoned in the center of the plate in ruby is the Crest of Love. On her lower legs and feet, the slippers reappeared, and gold trimmed white bellbottom-like shin plates wrap over that area. Attaching to the bottom of her right forearm by leather straps is a device with two metal poles on the bottom of it. Down both her hands a white metal lattice like on Malachimon's gauntlet or Seven of Nine's hand appear.Her glowing stops to reveal her skin unchanged, green eyes, and blonde hair. She is standing in a desert in front of pyramids and there are two Nefertimon statues on either side. She raises her hands up and spreads her wings. The winds grow, and the sky goes dark and red as the clouds turn to fire. She bounces up and now is standing on her tail. She holds her arms wide open as electricity and energy condenses in her hands, drawing it from the air and ground. A tornado of fire blasts down at her and she slowly brings her hands closer, until the spheres in her hands are one. The flame rift hits it, and she 'pushes' it away, a cyclone of lightning and fire. The desert ignites in flames and the pyramids explode as she gets off her tail and back on her feet. The barrels flip forward, extend, and a handle finds its way to her enormous talon-hand. Gold trimmed white metal unfolds and covers where the barrels were. She shoots up the area around her, then the barrels fold up and flip back. The Moon rises in the background.

" ...Manticoramon!!"

Tailmon does this profile. "Manticoramon is a Lunar... Cat... Angel... Sphinx...... Warrior..... Thingy.... Trust me, she's a Lunar digimon. With Moon Digimon, you never know what you're getting. Anyway, she is the Giga form of Phoenixgryphonmon, and her name is shorter too. Adding to her elemental list are powers in the lightning and lunar fields. With healing powers like Phobos Pulse and Astral Aura, and atack powers like Gigaton Turbine, Livewire Taichil Whip, Mercury Claw, Sahara Vulcan (Gun attack in WD), and Y Force (Big attack shown in WD), it'll be a wonder if anyone will survive her scorching heat. She is one bad..... something. Well, I at least know she's a digimon." Vamdemon, staggering, says, "I think someone's been eating their Wheaties today...." Manticora grins and answers, "Yeah, I know." She flies to Lilymon. "Let's get this out of your system."

"Astral Aura!!"

Lilymon returns to normal and says, "Nightmare Claw me once, shame on me. Nightmare Claw claw me twice, you a dead digimon." Manticoramon has a startled expression on her face. She thinks, "Lewis is right, no more booze for you. It makes you really, really surly." Lilymon says, "Stop looking at me like that. Of course I'm mad. Let yourself get hit by a debilitating atack that prevents you from moving, but hurts very badly." Manticoramon thinks, "Or maybe this is just her method of anger management." She gets up and flies at Vamdemon. Vamdemon turns and goes, "Heh, her again. This'll be easy." She comes at him the same way Veemon lept as he became Magnamon. "Here's one trick you've never seen!!"

"Lilymon Celestial Crystal Digivolve to Paladin Lilymon!!"

She shoulder tackles him and he blasts through a table and hits the wall. Paladin Lilymon says to him, "Say, when you use your Nightmare Claw, it involves using your hands, right." Vamdemon nods, scared of her. "Well, let me show a little move I do with my hands." She moves her hands arund in a kung fu fashion, energy condensing into globes in her hands. She slams her wrists together.

"Palatial Flower Cannon!!"

She fires the beam and he blasts out the wall, and into the center pavilion where GrandOkuwamon and Boltmon just finished putting the smackdown on Metzger and his armor suit and Neo Spheremon laid exhausted. Vamdemon crashes into Neo Spheremon, and becomes stuck in him, freezing him. Metzger, laying on the ground wounded says, "We need reinforcements here...." Out of nowhere Attorneymon, Jormungamon, Skull Satamon, and WickedLilymon arrive with what looks like a robotic Valkyrimon. Skull Satamon yells at Metzger and his group, "You are incompotent!!" Attorneymon grins and says, "Silence there, young general. Not even I knew this would happen, but I know it was done by the girl." Araiya, "Who?!" Attorneymon goes, "The one you call Lily. Oh, if you know what power she actually has, you'd see why I find her a threat." Lily stares and says, "How can I be a threat to him? I'm just a child." Attorneymon answers, "So were the original Digidestined when they annihilated Beelzebumon and Obliviomon, the two most powerful digimon of all time. You though, have more power than all of them, and all your friends, and maybe even Obliviomon. That is why you must die." Lily says, "I don't understand." Attorneymon, "You don't have to. You just need to... DIE!!" He opens his suitcase and shoots red tape at her. GrandOkuwamon saws it up though. "Oh yeah, I have to take care of the goon squad first. But first, time to go to school."

"Class Action Lawsuit!!"

They are all hit and sapped of their attack knowledge while being shocked. Boltmon is forced to go back to Meramon. GrandOkuwamon thoguh is able to hold on, as is Sea Lilymon. "Now that you are weakened, I'll introduce you to my mechanical friend. Araiya, you remember the Zybots NeoApocalymon brought back from the future, don't you?" Araiya says, "So, they were pushovers despite the hype." Attorneymon says, "Well, his fatal flaw was that he didn't take the time to reverse engineer the technology, but we found one and did. We can now produce 100% efficient killing machines, as long as we can hide the operation from Malachimon. Meet Valkyribot, more powerful than the genuine, it has full payloads of air-to-surface, surface-to-surface, and surface-to-air missiles. It has multiple turrets, and Valkyrimon's sword. The major changes are his Gigadigizoid superstructure, targeting scaaners accurate to 3 miles, and we replaced his crossbow..." The robot garnishes a light support machine gun. " ...With a big-ass gun. Kill them." He runs at GrandOkuwamon. He suddenly stops and hatches on his back and chest open. A long beep is heard and he fires. GrandOkuwamon retaliates.

"Catastrophe Cannon!!"

He shoots, but his helmet slides back and flips up, revealing two missiles under it. He fires them and they hit the shots. His missiles hit all over GrandOkuwamon, shattering his armor. GrandOkuwamon charges him.

"Rift Splicer!!"

"Fenrir Sword!!"

Both of their swords get destroyed. GrandOkuwamon says, "Looks I'll have to go medieval." He jumps him and punches away, but Jormungamon interferes.

"Rotten Core!!"

The boulder throws him into air, and then the ground. He lies under it. Attorneymon says, "Destroy target." Valkyrimon begins locking on when out of nowhere.....

"Gaia's Exoneration!!"

Before it knew it, Valkyribot found itself imprisoned in a sphere of plant life. It shot a small hole out, only to find it is 20,000 feet in the air. The sphere explodes and he goes offline and plunges back to terra firma. Araiya yells, "Let's clear out!!" She herds them out of the area. Jormungamon laughs like Jabba the Hut. "You think you can beat us all?" Paladin Lilymon says, "No, but we can!!" Manticoramon flies up. Attorneymon goes, "You Digidestined and digimon are growing too powerful for your own good." GrandOkuwamon gets out from under the boulder. "Bring it on!!" Manticoramon goes after Jormungamon, GrandOkuwamon faces off against WickedLilymon, and Paladin Lilymon is being double-teamed by Attorneymon and Skull Satamon. First up, GrandOkuwamon versus WickedLilymon. She hovers around, dealing him quick sucker punches and kicks. On her third revolution, she gets a little too close to his upper left arm. "If flying in circles is all you can do, then you need flying lessons." He shoots the cannon with her right into front of it. She is stopped only by the rubble in the street. She gets up dazed.

"Great Nexus!!"

He catches her in the maelstrom and the wind pounds her with boulders.

"Wilting Cannon!!"

She shoots part of his upper right arm, rusting away his plate and gun, and melting off some of his carapace. She bounds at him, swinging her machete. He barely evades her every time. GrandOkuwamon, up against a wall, grabs a loose girder. "Batter up!!" He swings, and she slices the girder in half. He flies over her and handspring kicks her into the wall. "Foul!!" She says getting up. Metzger muttles, "I'll allow it." On the other side Manticoramon looks at Jormungamon's blind eye. "I tore it up real bad...." Jormungamon yells, "That's you, Gryphonmon!!" He lets out this high-pitched roar. "Oh, I pissed him off." He leaps into the air after her.

"Gigaton Turbine!!"

She shoots, and the gusts blow him into the side of a building. He leaps at her again.

"Rotten Core!!"

She barely evades the rock, but acids drips onto her unprotected upper portion of her right arm and burns her. She turns and grabs one of the spikes of his hide and rides him. He writhes and throws, but she won't get off. "Stop flopping about like a fish out of water." Jormungamon says, "How about crush you instead. Ro...." She interrupts.

"Livewire Taichil Whip!!"

She strikes his spiked hide with her tail and the spike on he ring stabs in, and fries him with millions of volts of juice. He lets out his roar again, and fervently tries more than ever to buck her off. She tries to stop it, but the blade is lodged in very far. "I'm stuck!! If I'm going to get free, I'm going to have to subdue this big lug." She points her arms at him.

"Sahara Vulcan!!"

This only makes the problem worse. "Whoa there!!"

"Gigaton Turbine!!"

The burning doesn't help her. "DIE!!" He screams.

"Rolly Poli!!"

He extends his spikes and starts to roll. "Looks like I'll have to come back for it." She takes it off and flies away. He turns and says, "An eye for an eye!!"

"Molten Motolov Mantle!!"

He spins and hits her with gargantuan chunks of rock, flamig brimstone, and magma. His action though launched her tail ring free. Aftershe hit the ground in pain and covered in soot, she starts to get up when the tail ring lands next to her. "Hey, he delivers." She puts it back on and goes back after him.

Paladin Lilymon jumped back dodging Attorneymon's sword ans Skull Satamon's staff. She blocks Skull Satamon with her shield, and manages to parry against Attorneymon's thrust. Attorneymon draws back. "You are better than last, but you can't win two on one!!"

"Equalizer!!"

She flips over and charges up.

"Genesis Sword!!"

She slices him down the back, and light glows from the wound. Skull Satamon flies at her.

"Nail Bone!!"

He shoots, but Paladin Lilymon grabs Attorneymon by the arm and throws him in the path. "Oh, my bad, boss!!" Attorneymon picks him up by the neck and throws him into Neo Spheremon, still there dead tired. Attorneymon, "Catch the wave!!"

"Opal Spiral!!"

The wave hit her and threw back a ways. Ken signals Araiya, "We're ready. Pull out!!!" Araiya yells, "I think it's time we got shoe leather between them and home!!" Everyone starts evacuating. Jormungamon starts to follow and Manticoramon says to them, "Back off!!" They continue to pursue and she turns and says, "That's it!!"

"Y Force!!"

She plants herself atop the roof of a building and stands on her tail. The sky is red and nothing but fire. The fire comes down as her hands close, filled with energy and lightning. The forces unite, and the building she is on explodes like the Empire State Building did in Independence Day. The wave of fire spread out from the explosion, leveling buildings all around her. Attorneymon suggests, "Let's back off until it resolves." They wait, and Jormungamon is hit by hit, sending him into the air. He crash lands on Attorneymon and WickedLilymon. Just as it nears Attorneymon, it resolves. They roll the wyrm off them. WickedLilymon says, "They're getting away!!" Attorneymon says, "Wait, the wussy one speaks." He takes a D-Terminal like device. The pirate signal plays. Hikari says, "What is going on here?!" Attorneymon says, "Well, the Digidestined came in and attacked, and we tried to stop them, and finally drove them away, but they did hefty damage to the Android city." Hikari says, "I don't care if it's Mothra running amuck, notify me first!! Return to base." WickedLilymon says, "But we're in pursuit...." Hikari answers, "Well, if they are running, it means you won. There's no need in wasting our efforts like such. Let them go. Rebuilding the city is our top priority right now." Attorneymon says, "But...." Hikari looks mad, "I said, 'Return to Base!!' We'll deal with it later." She ends the transmission. Attorneymon says, "I believe it best to return. Besides, these worthless losers are probably going to need to stay in the infirmary. Come on, let's haul these sorry saps back to back." Ramon still lays there shivering, "So cold....."

Everyone gets back to where Ken and kari are. Lily goes up the hill and sees them putting up the stuff. "Ack!! Malachimon!!" She starts beating Hikari with a stick. Ken says to Minomon, "I think our ruse worked too well." Keiko takes the stick away. Keiko says, "I don't think this is Malachimon, Lily." Lily goes, "Huh? Look at her!!" Hikari takes the wig off. Lily goes, "Hikari, you're Malachimon? I'm confused." Hikari says, "No, silly. Ken noticed something earlier today. He noticed that ecept for our hair, Malachimon and me look exactly the same, even our fingerprints are the same." Bonnie says, "Now that's creepy." Jun asks, "Kay, now I want to know what would keep Malachimon from pulling a similar trick?" Ken says, "This is no way to stop her." Manticoramon catches up, and Masato and Andromon catch up with Sea Lilymon in their arm. Ken goes, "I wonder where your other shoulder plate was, Sirenamon." Masato says, "She took a nasty blow from Neo Spheremon to her gut. We took this stuff that was all over Undinemon that she claimed came from Neo Spheremon and have been using it to keep her wound cool to stop the bleeding." Ken says, "I guess we should get back home then!!" Lily arms her digivice and warps them all back home.

Just as they come back, Jou walks in. Jou says, "I met this guy. He says he's Bonnie's dad.... Oh crap, what happened to her!!" Masato says, "Nuclear ray beam to Sea Lilymon's abdomen!!" Jou asks, "Why haven't you gone to a hospital or something!!" Ken goes, "We just got back!!" Masato says, "Can't you help?" Jou says, "Well, I went to medical school, but it's been a few years since I did anything of the sort. I could probably stop some of the bleeding by the time an ambulance gets here." Keiko says, "Bad news. Because of the fighting, an ambulance can't get out here. They also say all the anti-air defense they put out, they can't come to airlift her either." Jou says, "We have to move her." They move onto the kitchen table. Izzy gets back. "What's going on?!" Jou says, "Well, looks like fate demands me to be a doctor once more." Lewis comes in, gets a drink, oblivious to the operation, and as he's about to leave, he looks over. "Hey, evasive surgery in my own home." He is about to leave when he goes, "EVASIVE SURGERY!!" He turns to Tetsuo and says, "Take the other Andromon, and... her, *He points at Manticoramon* and go back to the hangar. Tell them to keep the 'project' secret." Lewis says, "What do you need?" Jou says, "Well, some decent tools, an IV, and an EKG are nice." Lewis runs out of the room. Paladin Lilymon says, "Oh, please don't he stole an..." He rolls an EKG into the room. "I was going to strip it down for parts, but since you need it...." Paladin Lilymon asks, "Did you steal that?" He rips a 'Property of Tokyo general' label off. "Uh, no." She stares at him. "Okay, so I raided their maintence closet the last time I was there. I mean the stuff was broken and outdated...." Araiya asks, "Who the hell steals broken medical equipment anyway?" Lewis says, "Well, I overheard they were going to scrap them anyway, so think of it as keeping stuff out of landfills and saving the planet." Jou turns it on, and it works, but then the screen fluctuates and spins, and sputters. Lewis answers, "Oh no you don't!!" He backhands the device and it works perfectly. "See, and they going to throw this out too." Everyone looks at him. "I know. I'm a kleptomaniac." Jou says, "Now, I need some anastetic, and I bet you also stole some anastetic too." Lewis answers, "I don't steal drugs." Lewis gets a flashback.

~*Flashback*~

"Hey, if I remember right....."

Lilymon sits in an empty tub dressed drinking Gin & Tonic. "Well, hello ther.. han.. some. I could huggle all three of you..." Lewis says, "Well, you're plastered. Where'd the Gin & Tonic come from?" Lilymon staggers up drunk. "Oh, Oswald, and that nice kid with the scratchy goggles rode some pink elephants, and then when I still had my pain, they get me some of this, and I can't feel...." She falls over. "A thing." She staggers up. "Only thing that sucks are these things called.... damn, what the hell are they...?" "Hangovers." "Yeah that's it, white bandage mummy man.... A hangover." Lewis takes the booze away. "No more alcohol for you." She stands there, reeking of alcohol. "Aw, damn, that was the only bottle too. I need a cold shower..."

~*Flashback Ends*~

Lewis yells, "We need booze!!" Hikari asks, "How does getting s***-faced drunk save her?" Lewis says, "The booze isn't for us, it's for her. Yesterday, Lilymon was laying in the tub all wasted, but she sat there babbling how she couldn't feel a thing. Alcohol dulls the senses by slowing and even blocking the electrical signals in the brain. Depending on size and body fat, it can take a little or a lot. I don't it'll take much though." He gets a measuring tape and measures her from head to fin. "5 foot 3!! It won't take much. Now, to get some...." He thinks, then it hits him. "The cooking bourbon!!" He runs into the kitchen and gets it. "Hmmm..., won't go into the IV. Hold on." He runs into the living room and to Daisuke and Oswald. He kisses Daiusuke on the lips and says, "I could kiss you guys for getting this cooking Bourbon. Now, one more thing. Could you make a beer bong in a hurry?" Oswald takes the hose, cuts it, takes a.... well let's just he made a beer bong in no time flat. "Are you guys like the McGuyvers of beer bongs?" Daisuke says, "Hey, every college grad who has ever been to a party knows how to make one of those things." Lewis runs back into the kitchen with the bong and the Bourbon. "Here ya go, just stick it in there." He runs out. Araiya goes, "What now?" A voice yells, "I kissed Daisuke!!" and the sounds of barfing fill the house. Jou, "Now we can begin."

Back in Dominion HQ, Malachimon is about to go to sleep, when Attorneymon comes in. He says, "Half our council is in the infirmary, unfit for duty, or awaiting charges. We took great losses today. Are you sure you want to maintain your policy?" Malachimon says, "There is no reason to destroy anyone. Besides, all these losses have been happening under your supervision. Up until recently, our losses have been minimal... I'm beginning to wonder if I'm doing the right thing at all." Attorneymon says, "The Digidestined obliterated your father. Don't you want them to pay?" Malachimon says, "Well, it was wrong, but what if they had just cause? I mean, I know very little besides what you told me. Anyway, tell me... I forget. How did I come into existance?" Attorneymon asks, "Must we go over this again?" Malachimon says, "Yes." Attorneymon responds, "Oh well...." He sits down. "In the year 2004, your father, well a father of sorts, since normally digimon come from digieggs, was destroyed. In the wake of this event, some of his DNA bonded to a glowing substance. In the aftermath, the stuff was warped back to the Digital World. Your body had formed, but it has no life in it. This is when I stumbled unto you. I took you back, and managed to give you energy, but you had to take it gradually. I placed you in a chemical tube to infuse you with that power, but because of the trauma the DNA took, it took a couple of years to completely work. We took you out, and shocked you to life, and here you are. Good night." He leaves. She starts to get into her bed when she realizes something. "That wasn't what he told me last time, and this time he said he found me, and as he finished, he said 'we.' I'm not liking this." She lays down trying to go to sleep. Lance lies in his room, in an almost catatonic state, constantly saying, "Holly."

Scene is a split-screen of Lance and Sea Lilymon. "Can Jou save Sea Lilymon's life and prevent her reformatting? What is Lance's fate? What does Malachimon sense? Who is Malachimon's 'father?' Will Lewis ever get a bath? Find out in Bloodline: Chapter 5 - Memories!!"
