Bloodline: Descendants of the Digidestined

Chapter 6: War of the Sun Gods

Prologue: Sakiko recounts, "Jou finally finished his operation, and all Masato and Jou could do is wait. Sea Lilymon saw deep into herself and her memories as she slept in a coma-like state. She saw memories of when she was fresh and her 'youth.' She also remembered her lineage and why she hates Neo Spheremon so much. In her sleep, my sleep was startled when a digiport opened outside. I decided to sneak out to investigate, not wanting to worry anyone over nothing. I went out and saw Malachimon looking at the stars. At first I was about to scream my guts out, but I felt this warmth and kindness that I never felt before. We talked for hours, and discussed Lance, when we came to the realization that Lance was someone's pawn at the time of the crime, until control of the evil Red Gem. At sunrise, she left, receiving a message from Safiirumon. Sea Lilymon then recalled more of her past, including a weird painting of two digimon, one of which was Sirenamon. After watching the horror of Neo Spheremon's destruction, she finally woke up. Unable to leave the table from her injuries, Iori gave her some painting equipment to pass the 72-hour period she would have to stay there. Lewis was still working on his secret project when Koushiro and Miyako called a meeting of the whole. Lewis had Tetsuo help him drag out the meeting and drown out the sound of what I think were trucks filled with metal and a crane. Koushiro told us he had compiled a new Digimon Analyzer with cool new abilities, and found the silver metallic substance that was all over Sirenamon and saved Sea Lilymon's life was Neo Spheremon's blood. I revealed what I learned from Malachimon, and there was doubt and suspicion, except from Mimi. She believed me completely. The news upset Lily and made her mad. After the meeting, Bonnie's father tried to unload stolen corporate data on Bonnie, hoping she could guard it or fence it to his company, but she utterly refused, saying that watching this war firsthand has made her a changed person. He let her leave but slipped the disc on her anyway. Three days later, she found it and ran the program file, which had data on many companies, including Miyako's. Miyako caught her and became infuriated. At the same time, Jou went into the kitchen to check on Sea Lilymon and finds she has finished her painting. Sea Lilymon claims she doesn't know why she painted the person she did, but that person was Jou's mother... What does it all mean?"

Jou looks at the picture more. "You painted her exactly, to every detail. How?" Sea Lilymon sits there and says, "Like I said, I don't know." Jou says, "What few pictures we do have of are with my dad and Shin. I have this wallet picture, and that's it." He shows her the picture. She goes, "Why have I heard the name Shin before?"

Daisuke sits there watching COPS. He says, "Hey, cool!! They're doing an episode in Tokyo!! It's gotten a lot better since they air it live in the city they film in!!" He watches intently as they nab some Yakuza dirtbags. The cop goes, "These Fujisaba family made men have had it coming, but we couldn't pin anything on them until tonight. I'm just glad they are off the streets and the area is safe for your average citizen." The paddy wagon drives off, and then the cop gets a dispatch. Daisuke says, "Why is that address familiar?" A scene shows the address on Lewis's mailbox. Cops swarm the area. Daisuke sits there and says, "What loser builds a triangular house?" A spotlight hits the house. "Stupid neighbor people and their flood lights." Lilymon walks into the light, stops, and stares idiotically as though a deer. They use a battering ram and charge, but just as they do, Agumon opens the door. The battering ram floors him, and they run in over him before realizing what happened. "Rodney King, Rodney King!!" He yells. They rush in and immediately grab Miyako and Bonnie. "You are under arrest. You have the right to.... Wait, this isn't America... Cane 'em!!" He gives them two good whacks, then a blow to the head knocks them out. The cop outside with the camera. "Yeah, we've been surveying this house with help from Interpol, after learning that the hacker Benjamin Franklin Pierce-Winchester had come here, where his daughter, who we have on good information that he has been training to be his accomplice, has been living for the last month. We almost didn't notice the trade off, but we able to see it, and when she accessed the program, we knew it was time to bust them. Besides, we wanted to know what the hell was with all the trucks hauling titanium alloy and the blaring repeating sound of 'Panama' by Van Halen. The paper trail was kinda messy for the hacker, but it said Mrs. Inoue commissioned him to get dirt on her rivals and then have access to their bank accounts. They'll be sent to the city jail, then transferred to The Hague to await trial." Bonnie mutters under her breath, "Good one, dad." Miyako was thrashing and screaming, "What's going on?" They throw them into a squad car. Daisuke comes out the door and goes, "Hey, turn that flood li...." He sees the cops, the camera, and then looks in the window at the TV. "Hey, I'm on COPS!! Lookee me mom, I'm on COPS!!" One of the cops says, "Sir, would you stop that? You're making a scene." Araiya comments, "There are squad cars all down this road with their lights on, cops everywhere, and they're telling Daisuke to stop making a scene. Typical cops."

The cops finish their search and confiscate Koushiro's computer and then leave. Koushiro falls to his knees and screams, "NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" Veemon says, "It's only a computer. You can buy others." Koushiro grabs him by the neck like Homer grabs Bart, "Why you little!! I worked long and hard making that my own. Now they're going to strip it down or format it after their trial!!" Tentomon goes, "I thought we went through this." Biyomon adds, "Yeah, Koushiro, I thought your computer addiction days were over? Now let Veemon go and let's talk about it." Veemon goes, "I can't feel my toes." Agumon goes, "Stop your whining. You didn't get hit by a battering ram then trampled by a whole SWAT team. I have owies all over." Koushiro says, "It was like a work of art. How do you think Michelangelo would react if someone took his 'David' and smashed it. What if Leonardo had his 'Mona Lisa' torched? How would you feel if you were Einstein and you watched some dimwit act like he read your notes on relativity, then use it as toilet paper?!! I toiled over that computer, and it was my Magnum Opus!!" Daisuke goes, "Uh, dude, I don't remember Veemon being purple." Koushiro lets go of him. Veemon thinks, "Have Koushiro signed up for stress and anger management seminars." Koushiro looks at him and says, "Sorry there."

In the hangar, completely unaware of what just happened, Lewis says, "It's complete!!" The Andromon say very slowly, "Caaaannnn weeee gggoooo offff-llliiinnnnneeeeeee nnnooooowwwww??" Lewis goes, "Knock yourselves out." They jack into an outlet and fall asleep. "Never seen Andromon sleep like that before." Scarletmon, down there with them says, "Well, an Andromon has never gone that long without re-energizing or resting before.... Lewis?" He fell over asleep. She says, "I guess not even Lewis can stay up 192 hours straight without paying some sort of price." She leaves, the lights dimmed.

The Next Day: Miyako and Bonnie wake to hear, "The Grand Jury indicted you. You're going to the Hague!!" Miyako goes, "The Hague?" The guard says, "Yep, the Hague, Netherlands. There are so many international crimes here that we figured it'd be best left in the hands of the International Court of Justice." Bonnie goes, "That must be some damning evidence they got." The guards take them and go to the airfield after issuing them uniforms, where a jet awaits them. They check them out, and load them up in shackles. Miyako goes, "How humiliating that cavity search was...." Bonnie goes, "You had a cavity search?" Miyako goes, "I guess all we can do now is sit back and wait. I mean, surely we've been framed, or I should say, I was, you thieving bi.... The warden tells her to shut up. Finally, the jet takes off.

After breakfast, Lewis reads the stolen paper. "Hey, because of the combined efforts of the Japanese National Defense Force, the US Military, and us, the fighting is over in Tokyo!! They say that they still won't allow people home just yet, since they are cleaning out the area of debris, but schools re-open Monday." Romeo goes, "An escape from this dull place." Keiko says, "It'll help fight some of this cabin fever." Yuuji goes, "Yay school." Jun adds, "Screw school. In a way, I'd rather be with Bonnie & Miyako and help them win their freedom, and then kick some Dominion butt!!" Tetsuo goes, "Whatever." Lewis thinks, "And so it begins.... I'm wearing him down." A look of scheming and pure evil comes over his face. Sakiko goes, "We need to focus on today for now..." Lewis interrupts," Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!" His evil laugh echoing throughout the kitchen. Everyone looks at him. Araiya goes, "Well, if you're that happy over schools opening, why don't you go back to one. Maybe then you could to be a normal upright citizen." Ardillamon goes, "He scares me." Ryo answers, "I know. He scares me too." Sakiko returns, "Rrrrriiight..... Where were we? Oh, who's gonna go with Lily. I know I am." Ken says, "I figured it out this way. The main group, with Lily in command, will go first, and then, a smaller group, or a bail-out group, consisting of 3 new kids and 2 of us old timers, will be ready to assist in the case that the main group is overwhelmed. I figured out a system. Today, Romeo, Masato, and Tetsuo will stay here. Their old Digidestined counterpart will be... er... Yamato." Yamato goes, "Man, since the fighting was over I was hoping to get some rehearsing in." "Lewis?" Lewis answers, halfway out the door with Andromon, "Uh, I'm going to hunt down Bonnie's dad real quick. I think he has something to do with their arrests. I'm taking Andromon with me." "Taichi?" Taichi goes, "Sorry, police brutality." Agumon takes a cell phone and goes, "Hi, I was wondering if I could have your legal services, Mr. Darden is it?" Daisuke waves his hands and goes 'Oohh!! Oohhh!!' like a monkey. Ken ignores this and asks Sora. "Sorry, I'm going on patrol and clean out the town." He turns to Yolei, who is putting on a red wig. "Uh, someone's got to keep Miyako's Board of Directors in check." Ken goes, "Is it just me, or does it seem everyone is either too injured, incarcerated, or just got something else to do?" Daisuke starts grunting. Ken answers, "How about you, Dai?" Daisuke stops to think, then goes, "Yeah. Why not? I wanna show that Attorneymon who's boss!!" Ken thinks, "I'm worried to let him go out unsupervised. I mean, he is a diagnosed schizophrenic. I think I'll accompany him." Ken says, "Okay, today I'll help you too, Daisuke." Daisuke answers, "The more, the merrier!!" Lily says, "Well, now that whole mess is over, I guess we can go." She holds her digivice to the sky and calls, "Digiport Open!!" The digiport opens around them, then envelops them.

As normal, their clothes change except for Lily and Keiko. Ryo was dressed in a baggy tye-dye shirt, shorts, and sandals. Keiko says, "Is it just me, or is that a marijuana leaf on that shirt?" Lily says, "Uh... no. It's just a green area." Ryo says, "This isn't my style. I never am this casual." Yuuji thinks, "Tell me about it, worrywart." Lily says, "Who knows, the clothes we wear reflect our sub-conscious. Maybe in reality, you just to break loose and relax for a change." Sakiko looks ahead. She sees three pyramids, with pipelines connecting them all, the largest surrounded by a marsh and upside-down. Jun goes, "A tropical swamp in a desert. Now I've seen it all." Sakiko goes, "I got to talk to someone about what determines these clothes. I don't think a multi thousand dollar evening is the best thing to wear trudging through a quagmire." Yuuji goes, "I wouldn't know. All I know is that it would cost a lot of money to clean it." Lily says, "Well, we're not going to do anything talking, so let's go. Jun and me will take the left pyramid. Keiko and Ryo, you get the right one, and Yuuji and Sakiko, cross the moat, and try not to fall in. Yuuji's right. It would cost a fortune to clean these clothes." Ardillamon says, "What about that sphinx?" Lily says, "Okay, if we don't turn up anything, we'll meet at it, look in, then go home. Now, let's move out!!" Sirenamon goes, "What about me? How will I get across?" Jun goes, "Swim, of course. That's what you do best." She asks, "Couldn't I just ride Gryphonmon too?" Gryphonmon exclaims, "Uh… No." Sirenamon begs, "Why?" Gryphonmon tells her, "You can swim. They can't. Besides, I only got enough back for two people to sit on." Lily and Jun go to the left, Keiko and Ryo go right. Sakiko and Yuuji jump on Gryphonmon and fly over the marsh. "Sure, don't worry about me smelling like the swamp thing." Sirenamon takes a whiff of the marsh. "Oh, geez!! I'm gonna have to bathe in 20 gallons of tomato juice to get that stink off me." She looks to see the others are well gone. "Well, I guess the sooner I do this, the sooner it'll be over. I feel embarrassed." She jumps into the water speeds through the water. As she nears the other side, she hears a voice muttering in the distance. "Stupid swamp!! Where did this come from? I'm getting soaking wet and I smell like unwashed gym socks. I'm gonna find the punk who put this here and show them who the king is, uh-huh!!" Sirenamon goes, "I think I'll leave him alone. Seems like he's mad enough. Right now I just want to get out as soon as I can." She speeds along and gets up on land, skidding across it. Moments later, Gryphonmon lands. Yuuji begins to gag at the smell. Gryphonmon reverts to Scarletmon and asks, "What's in that swamp?" Sakiko goes, "I don't know, but this is one oasis I'd never want to see, or smell, again." She gags at the smell. Even Sirenamon gags at herself. Sakiko goes, "Let's breath through our mouths, people." They go on to the pyramid.

Lily and Jun reach their pyramid, but see no entrance. Jun goes, "Andromon, anything?" Andromon responds to her, "My scans show an abnormality on the left wall, but no door." Lily says, "Let's see this abnormality." They go over to what looks like normal wall. Jun asks, "Okay, and the abnormality?" Andromon says, "I do not know. My scanners cannot tell precisely what it is." Jun gets mad. "Dammit, where's the...." She slams her fists into the wall, and goes right through it. "...Door." Lily pops her head. "I'll be, you found the door." Jun grins embarrassed, "See, I knew it was the door."

On the other side, Keiko and Ryo look about. Keiko, "I just don't see a way in." Ryo, "It's useless." Ardillamon, "Stop talking like that. It's a real downer. If life doesn't provide a door, make one." He glides over to the wall.

"Bucktooth Saw!!"

He gnaws through the stone and makes an entrance in the shape of Mr. Peanut. "Sorry. Can't help it if I got peanuts on the brain. Mmmm.... Peanuts...." He goes into a Homer-style trance, drooling. Keiko goes, "Okay, let's go in." They all go in. Ryo goes, "Okay, we need some light." Keiko fiddles around looking for something. "Wish I brought a flashlight or a lighter... Wait, maybe there's something on my digivice I can use." She messes around with the WCEDI and unknowingly turns on a feature that makes her digivice glow from the circular orb on her digivice. "First I find out this thing doubles as a morningstar, and now I find it's a makeshift flashlight. Mai was right. These must be built from spare parts." They go down the hall. Ardillamon scouts ahead and says, "I see light!!" They head up to the light, and slowly open the door. To their astonishment, they saw giant silos, towers of computers, and that pipeline coming from the wall. Ryo goes, "What is this?" Keiko goes to a monitor, and says, "According to what this screen says, these are 'Cryogenic Units 3 & 4.' Why would there be cryogenic units in a pyramid?" Ardillamon says, "I saw these pipes. They led to the center pyramid." Keiko says, "Well, my computer skills aren't that great, but I'm going to see what I can learn from this." She types and moves the mouse, and then is able to call up a map of the three pyramids. "Well, according to this, this pyramid is one big goose egg. All it has is this cryo-unit. The left one is the same. The center one though, is where all the cryogens go, and there are some ruins in it too." Ryo says, "Well, I guess we should go to the sphinx and wait." Keiko says, "Nope, we have to go to the main pyramid." Ryo answers, "I was afraid of that."

In the left pyramid, Keiko messages them, "Guys, your pyramid has nothing but 2 cryogenic units in it. I found a map to the pyramids. The only one that looks like it'd have something is the one Sakiko and Yuuji are in." Jun says, "All this effort, for nothing...." They turn and leave. After leaving they meet outside the marsh moat. Jun says, "Now that we wasted time, how do we cross the marsh?" Lily says, "We could fly everyone across using Keiko." Andromon says, "But how will I cross. I exceed her maximum carrying capabilities." Ryo, "In other words?" Andromon, "I am too heavy." Keiko says, "Well, the air is out. That means someone's gonna get smelly." Everyone turns to Ardillamon. "What's everyone looking at me for?" Next thing he knows, he's swimming through it as Puxitomymon with the others on his back. "I didn't sign on for this." They make it across and go in. A voice in the bushes says, "There's always these brats involved in everything I do. I'm not gonna let these monsters ruin my comeback, uh-huh." A voice, like that of a Gazimon, says, "Master, would you please stop saying 'uh-huh!!'" The figure stands, revealing himself as Etemon, and smacks the Gazimon. "Don't talk to me again like that!! Now, we're going to go in and follow them, and then take care of them."

In the pyramid, Lily says, "Okay, Keiko and Ryo, go join up with Sakiko and the others. Jun and myself will search the lower levels." They split apart. Lily and Jun wander through a myriad of corridors. Lily goes, "Is it just me, or did Miyako's program seriously screw up. We're yet to meet any horrible life-threatening peril. Where's the horrible life-threatening peril? Dammit, I was promised horrible life-threatening peril, and horrible life-threatening peril I shall have!!" Jun goes, "You are your grandfather's granddaughter." They proceed to what looks like a firewall like those that were in Etemon's pyramid. Andromon mentions, "Danger, Will Robinson!! This firewall is still active." Jun goes, "Will Robinson? Who the hell is Will Robinson?" Andromon goes, "I am sorry. That is just part of my programming. I know not of this Will Robinson either, but every time there is danger, I am compelled to say his name after saying danger." Lily ignored them and just walked through the wall. Andromon goes, "The weak point was over there, and she passed through over here. My CPU boggles." They walk through, and lurking in the shadows is Etemon and his cronies.

Upon arrival to an international detention facility recently established, Miyako and Bonnie are locked in the same cell together. Miyako looks about to see if there are any guards around. When she sees there are none visible, she grabs Bonnie by the neck. "Ya little brat!! How could you drag me into all this!! Sure, make it look like I was the siphoning money from my competition so you got off scot-free... Heh, at least they got you, so you can't do this kinda stuff anymore. Don't worry, Jou will get me the best lawyers out there and get me acquitted, and you'll rot for your corporate hacking!!" Bonnie goes, "Why do you think I did anything? Sure, my dad taught me the ins and outs of computers after my mother was jailed for securing classified government documents, and we lived like royalty, but I never had any friends before, and now I do, why would I want to hurt them?" Miyako goes, "Stop the con act!! I know who hacked all those systems. You were there accessing them. I saw you." Bonnie yells, "Well, maybe if you had walked a few moments earlier, you would have see that I had just discovered it on myself." Miyako goes, "Oh sure, then how'd you get it? I don't think you did. I think you got it yourself!!" A guard yells for them to quiet down. Miyako continues, "All you are lies, corruption, and malevolence... I don't know why Gennai wanted you to be a Digidestined. I despise you... You and everything you stand for." She lets her go. Bonnie goes, "Has the world of business made you that cold? Do you really despise the fight to save two worlds?!" Miyako looks at her strangely. Bonnie begins to cry. "I know I have lied and conned a lot in the past, but seeing Masato's digimon lay there in pain opened my eyes to what my whole purpose was about. I didn't understand why she threw herself to save the others, but now I do: Friendship. Sure, owning people in your pocket is in a sick way fun, but soon you get sick of all the lies and blackmail. I want someone I can trust, a friend. I told you it was accident, I don't know where the disc came from, and that..." A warm feeling filled the cell. "...is..." It grew brighter in the cell. "...the..." The light turned a purplish/pink hue. "...TRUTH!!!" An aura of energy surrounded Bonnie. Bonnie adds, "The way you responded, I feel I can't trust you." Miyako stares in shock. She thinks, "Why is she glowing like this? She shouldn't be glowing... She wouldn't be glowing... unless.... Koushiro has the Crest of Knowledge and the Shard of Truth.... Is this her body's way of saying she is honest? Am I wrong?" Suddenly air raid sirens go off and machine gun fire goes off outside. Miyako yells, "What's going on?!" A guard, running by, his walkie-talkie says, "We are under attack!! Enemy digimon has breeched the walls!!" Miyako screams, "Oh, what do we do?!! The Dominion is attacking!! We can't panic!!" Miyako starts panicking. "Help, save us!!" A fist blows out the wall and grabs them. Miyako climbs up the hand and peeps out to see Alcyaid Xaviomon, what looks like the Viral version that Stefan piloted. He hits another wall and grabs a locker holding personal effects. Gunfire just pings off him. He powers up his jets and flies up out of sight. Miyako starts to shiver. "How come it got so cold?" Bonnie is just laying there, balled up, crying, and glowing that eerie color. All of a sudden, they teleport out of sight. When Miyako manages to pop her head out from his clenched hand again, she saw they were 12,000 feet over Tokyo. A voice, "I guess we're safe now." Miyako goes, "Wait, machine digimon don't use contractions...." The cockpit opens and out comes Lewis. "Who'd you expect, Araiya?" Miyako gags and goes, "You're in deep now, Lewis." Miyako thinks, "That, or you into something else real deep." Lewis waves his finger. "No, I am not. See, look at the coloring. They will be looking for a Virus Alcyaid Xaviomon, but..." Miyako asks, "What smells?" Lewis smells himself. "Oh, right. I've been so busy that I haven't had a bath in twenty days. Wait, did I say twenty, I meant five days." Miyako goes, "What the hell are you talking about twen... TYYY!!!!!!" He hits a button and they freefall off the east coast of Japan. "I'd hold on to something." He jumps back into the cockpit. Alcyaid Xaviomon says, "What are you doing? They will not survive the fall." Lewis says, "You worry too much." The altimeter plunges. As they passed 3000 feet, he kicked the engines on. Miyako is screaming, "Oh, we are going to die because of this unbathed madman!!" Bonnie is oblivious to the plunge. She is still crying. Just as it looked like they would go splat in the park, they gently land. Lewis pops out. "Now that's falling!! Woo!!" Alcyaid Xaviomon puts them down, Miyako extremely pale and stuttering. Police litter the park. Miyako gets wind of what is going on. "Nice move, Lewis. Save us just to get arrested again." Lewis walks over to the police captain. The captain laughs and says, "Good job!!" Miyako is like, "Huh?" Lewis says, "Simple. I overheard the conversation Bonnie had with her father, and then I saw she had a disc on her when she stormed by. I didn't know what for, but I figured it was for something important. When I learned you were arrested, after passing out from exhaustion and waking up, I researched this case and into his past, and found Bonnie's mom, Takeru and Hikari's daughter, Chiyoko, was arrested for having classified documents, but something wasn't right. It was done with expert skill, but there were no previous such styles of hack jobs, and Chiyoko claims she has no knowledge of the program knowledge that it took, and if it weren't for a tipster, no one would have ever known. The exact same call sign was here too, the only difference was it was one of Benjamin's techniques. At first, I shrugged it off, but 30 seconds, it was nagging at me, and all that caffeine was beginning to catch up to my brain. I locked myself in the... basement... and thought it through. Then I realized it. Benjamin fled the scene minutes before the police got there. I remember it because I heard the sound of someone sledding down the backside of the house. Daisuke and Oswald were inside, and they only sled the front side. I also knew because I watched him do it. The final peg was comparing your knowledge. I found a hangout where many hackers go in Tokyo, and visited it. The gullible saps, they told me about some of Benjamin's greatest exploits. In order to get them to talk, I had to prove I wasn't a narc, so I hacked my own computer. When they saw me hack the most secure data in the world owned by a private citizen, they accepted me. They also told me about how he loved to joke about how he got away with those classified documents. I then went to acquaintances of Bonnie to see what stuff she does, and after being beaten, chased, and being mauled by a Pit Bull, I got the info I needed, and then it was morning." The captain goes, "I know it's hard to believe, but all his info checks out. You sure you don't need a rabies shot?" Lewis blurts sternly, "No!!" He looks over at Bonnie, who had stopped glowing, but was still crying. Lewis asks, "What's wrong?" She doesn't answer. "Is it because of the fall? Did I scare you?" She shakes her head no. Lewis goes, "Well, knowing that you, Miyako, and even your mom are innocent should make you happy." Bonnie goes, "It's not that." Lewis goes, "Okay, what?" Bonnie says, "Miyako despises me. She thinks of me as scum." Lewis stops, thinks, then says, "Okay, I believe you. I know when people lie to me, and you aren't lying. Let it out." He holds her. 20 seconds later, he gets a paranoid look on his face and waves his left arm erratically. "Tissues!! Somebody please get some tissues over here!!" A cop gives them tissues. Miyako tries to slip away, but Lewis snaps his fingers and Alcyaid Xaviomon grabs her. "Where do you think you're going? You are going to apologize to her." Miyako goes, "But I still have doubts." Lewis goes, flipping her off, "I don't, and Mr. Bird here definitely has none, and Mr. Bird commands it!! Why? He said so!!" Miyako looks down and thinks, "He's right. I should give her the benefit of the doubt. All that evidence, despite how confusing, sounds like the truth, and if Lewis can believe her, I can too, but he didn't have to give me the bird. Maybe he does need that rabies shot." Miyako looks at Bonnie and says to her face, "Oh, I am so sorry Bonnie. After you helped to save Sea Lilymon's life and worried about her well-being, I should have realized you had changed. I've always been stubborn in my ways. I thought you couldn't trust someone who is known as a notorious hacker, but it turns out anyone can change." Lewis says, "You're just as bad as Iori was about Ken." Miyako breaks down, "You're right Bonnie. I have turned cold hearted!! Business became so much a part of me lately that everything else didn't matter, and I lost my ability to trust. Show me how to trust again!!" Lewis goes, "Now, anything else, or should I have Alcyaid Xaviomon drop you?" She screams, "I was going to tell them to give you a rabies shot!! Please, Lewis, don't make him drop me!!" Lewis takes out a camera. "Now..., see how easy it is to tell the truth? Don't you feel better?" She nods her head yes while screaming and crying. "Now, smile for the camera." He takes a picture of this moment for posterity, and Alcyaid Xaviomon releases her. Bonnie starts to calm down and cheer up. He gets up and pats her back. "Isn't honesty fun?!" He goes over to the stolen locker, opens it, and tosses them their clothes and their digivices. Miyako starts to calm down herself and asks, "If there is tons of evidence to prove us innocent, why the whole jailbreak?" Cops go over and wash off the paint and dye on Alcyaid Xaviomon. The captain goes, "See, with this tidbit, we can possibly nab him now. We want Bonnie to go in and bust him in a sting operation, but we had to make it look like she escaped. Lewis came up with the plan. He figured that hearing about your arrest, the Dominion would be tempted to abduct you two, so we made this Alcyaid Xaviomon look like a Virus version of him and had Lewis bust you out. Don't worry!! We consulted Interpol, and except for the guards at the facility, they knew about the plan. All that has to happen is that Bonnie has to trick Benjamin into talking about his crimes and you two go free, and if you can get him to blurt about his little classified fiasco, then it may even be possible that Chiyoko Winchester could go free as well." A moment of silence, then Bonnie says, "Wire me up."

At the same time all that started, Sea Lilymon stares into the painting she did. "Why do I know you? Logically, from what Jou says, I should have never met her, and another name lingers.... Shin. Sitting here will not answer anything. I must go back to the source. I must go to the Digital Moon." Iori comes in, tired, with Armajimon. Iori goes, "I am so tired." Armajimon adds, "Me too." Sea Lilymon flies in. "Need anything?" Iori goes, "I don't want to ask much of you, but the paper would be nice." She flies out and grabs the paper and comes back. When she returns, Sea Lilymon intentionally drops the paper. Masato, Jou, and Gomamon come in. Masato says, "I thought Jou told you to stay off for fee... You get the idea." She bends over, despite it hurting, grabs the paper, and pilfers Iori's D-3. Sea Lilymon says, "Sorry, Masato, I was bored. I'm sorry for this too, but I must know my past. Digiport open!!" Iori jumps on her back. Jou, Gomamon, and Masato try to hold her, but she still manages to enter the Digiport, after throwing Iori off her back. They look around to see themselves on the Digital Moon. Jou asks, "What are you doing? You should rest." Sea Lilymon says, "I can't rest. In my state, I need to get back to my Rookie form, but for some odd reason I can't dedigivolve from this form. Something is driving me to find answers. Besides, aren't you just as curious about how I know your mother and Shin as much as I am?" Jou says, "Okay, but if you worsen, we leave." Gomamon says, "This wasn't on our agenda." Jou responds, "Well, if you haven't noticed, our agenda has been pretty much empty." Sea Lilymon says, "If I'm right, Master Raijinmon shouldn't be far from here." They follow her to an old dojo. "It looks so dilapidated." A voice goes, "Who goes there?" Sea Lilymon turns, knowing the voice, and says, "Lotusmon, well I was Lotusmon..." The figure emerged from the dark. Jou is going, "Itsa... Itsa... Itsa... Itsa... Itsa dragon!!" Raijinmon goes, "Hell no!! A dragon digimon would be ten to thirty times bigger than me. I'm Raijinmon, a Bahamut digimon." He looks quite old. "I still feel good for a 720,150 year old digimon. I haven't seen you in ages. So you finally digivolved on your own. Took you a few millenia." Jou stutters and says, "720,150 y... y... years!!" Sea Lilymon says, "This may sound strange, but I have to know what happened after Neo Spheremon destroyed the royal city. As I lay unconscious, I could remember everything from my hatching to Neo Spheremon, then this fuzzy spot, and then you, me, and Bahamutmon joining the resistance against the Overlords and Neo Spheremon. I must know, because I have to put my mind to rest, so I may, this will sound funny, de-digivolve so I can heal properly." Raijinmon says, "I never heard of a digimon that wanted to de-digivolve before." Sea Lilymon goes, "I was only reconfigured and hatched not long ago. I'm at my Mega level because of this girl, Masato. I'm a part of the Digidestined now. I'm her digimon." Jou adds, "I also want to know why she knows my mother and my brother." Raijinmon sits down slowly and says, "Well, what of your last name. That may help jump start the ol' thinker." Jou says, "My surname is Kido, and so is Masato's. She's my granddaughter." He thinks for a moment and says, "Kido..." His eyes open wide. "Oh, yes... Kido. I guess Lotus... er... Sea.. your relationship with the Kido family continues. Let me explain..."

~*Flashback*~

"Millenia after the Destruction of the Lunar Realm, myself, and Bahamutmon, had raised you up, a Digimon of All Trades. You could cook, and I taught you well. You could fight, and again I was the teacher. You could do almost anything you wanted. You even repaired the fridge we had and upgraded the AI, and I have no idea who taught you that. Well, one night, you decided to show off an experiment you had been working on, claiming you could make a rift that would take you to the Digital World in the sky. You took us to an old stone tablet and a ring. You placed these nine cards you found around the tablet of these weird digimon we never seen before, Gomamon and Agumon were two of them. You said you found them looking through some ancient ruins. After placing them, you pressed eight of them, then hit a ruby below the cards. A rift opened in the ring and you, against our warnings, went through. You walked through, and this vehicle swerved out of control to miss you. It stopped, and you opened to find this woman who had passed out in fear of you. You dragged her back through to treat her, thinking you hurt her. As she passed through though, something crashed on the moon. It was a strange digivice, with all its beeping and such. The woman, as we found out later from her that's what she was, was quite plump and glowing around her midsection, something I hadn't seen with a female digimon in many millenia. When she awoke, she acted hysterical at the sight of us, but after you talking to her, she calmed down." The woman, "Ooooookay..... I'm on the moon. I thought the moon was barren and devoid of life." Lotusmon, "You mean that's how the moon looks from the Digital World?" "She asked tons of questions about the Digital World and told us she was from 'Earth.' She kept on calling us aliens. I don't know why. When we gave her the device, it glowed and reacted to her. We figured it best to let her hold on to it." Lotusmon, "You can call me Lotusmon." The woman goes, "You can call me Mrs. Kido." "She slowly got used to us and lived with us for a few months. She rested a lot. Talked of being 'pregnant.' She also told us a lot about 'Earth,' or the real world as it's called now." Mrs. Kido says to Lotusmon while sweeping the dojo, "Well, before I came here, it was sometime in the fall of 1984. I wonder how my family is taking my disappearance. I don't get it. I was 9 months into my pregnancy, and I've been here 6 months, and it hasn't felt like anything has happened since then. It's like maybe a little more than 3 hours have passed to my womb." "18 months later, Neo Spheremon returned to conquer the whole moon, his conquests of the Dark Side over with. We defended you, but something amazing happened. Using the woman's power, you Terravolved into your Terra form, Valkyrie Lotusmon, and fought Neo Spheremon with us. We almost beat him, but Mrs. Kido started to lose strength, talking of 'labor pains.' You went down to your Giga level, Paladin Lotusmon....

Her profile pops up, narrated by Masato. "This Giga Lunar digimon is Paladin Lotusmon. Unlike most Paladin digimon, she has forsaken bulky armor in place of a light wet suit made of a Megadigizoid webbing and kevlar, allowing her to move super fast on land, in the water, and in the air. Her six leafs wings allow her to fly and they act like rudders in the water. She totes with her a hefty double-edged battle axe, and her attacks are Sequoia Crush, Were Buster, Hypocrites' Ashes, and Tao Knuckle."

You went to help her, and Neo Spheremon left in agony. He vowed revenge on you and myself. As went on, you lost strength. During one of her fits, she grabbed your shin and you screamed out as she squeezed. Finally, a child came from her." Mrs. Kido goes, "What should I name him?" Paladin Lotusmon is hopping on one foot in pain going, "My shin!!" Mrs. Kido looks at her, and thinks about the meaning. "Shin it is." "Moments later, you reverted to the form you are in now and joined the resistance in, Sea Lilymon. Also stopped your whining about your shin. About a month later, you remembered how you opened the gate and told us, but then he returned, and smashed the dojo. You and that woman both took a mean blow to the head when a support fell. We decided, after cleaning her wounds and bandaging her, to send her home, where it seemed almost no time had passed. I don't know what happened next, but when you woke up, you couldn't remember a thing except that Neo Spheremon is after you. We decided, the dojo heavily damaged, to join the growing resistance, and here you are today."

~*Flashback Ends*~

Sea Lilymon says, "It all makes sense now." Jou goes, "Uh, not quite. That would be saying my mom was a short-lived Digidestined." Masato, "I guess being Digidestined is in the blood." Jou says, "It would explain her concussion. I mean, the car never hit anything, it just swerved... to miss.... something." Gomamon asks, "So Sea Lilymon named your brother? You don't hear of many 'Shins.' Neat." Jou answers him, "What she went through must have taken some guts." Gomamon goes, "Hey, why didn't you ever let me name your kid?" Masato goes over to the ruins of the dojo, where her digivice reacts. "What's this?" She pulls back the rotted floorboard to find an original model digivice and an original Crest of Courage, both tied together into a necklace. "Courage must be a trait of Kido X chromosomes. I wonder what's on the Y chromosome? I'm glad I read Grandpa's old medical books." Jou gets an annoyed look. "Hey, I got courage." Gomamon says, "Sure you do..." Sea Lilymon goes, "I know the truth now... Thanks Raijinmon." She starts to get up. Raijinmon says, "Before you go, would you do this old digimon this one request? Would you spar with me, one more time?" Jou says, "That's not medically sound." Gomamon says, "What do you know? You're an actor now. The closest to being a doctor you do now is portraying one on stage or TV." Masato, "Besides, if you remembered anything, the patient can end care at any time as long as the situation is life threatening. Now, is it?" Jou goes, "Well, I guess not." Sea Lilymon goes, "Don't worry. I'm already feeling better." She turns to Raijinmon. "I'd be honored."

Minutes later, they are in an old sparring ring, pole arms, including her own spear, Masato's sword, and battle axes are behind Sea Lilymon. Behind Raijinmon are every style of sword imaginable, including a double-bladed sword, a sword on both ends of the handle. Jou, Gomamon, and Masato sit outside of the area. Jou asks Masato, "Aren't you the least bit hot in that armor?" Masato says, "You'd think that. It's strangely comfortable." The two digmon bow then grab a weapon. She takes a battle-axe, and he takes a scimitar. Raijinmon runs at her, and slices at her, but she sets up her axe on the bottom of its handle, kicks off the ground, spins low to the ground, and trips him, then uses her centripetal force to land on him and stops her axe at his face. "One point, you." The go back to their sides. She makes the first move and flies at him, making an underhand swing with the axe. This time he breaks the axe by slicing it in half. In turn, she takes the handles, points the end at him, and catches his scimitar as he swings it down. She hurls the stick and sword away, then leaps up punch his jugular, when he palm strikes her to the ground. "One point, me." Jou asks, "How points do they spar to?" Gomamon answers, "From what they say, it's a best of seven." They return to their sides. Raijinmon takes a katana and Sea Lilymon takes a halberd with eagle feathers at the base of the spearhead. Raijinmon takes to the air and flies at her. She hops forward, vaults up along his left side, and grabs his left wing. He barrel rolls as she spins and releases, sending her back to the ground. He turns back at her and nearly hits her head on, when she bounds up and over his back, and smacks his back with the flat side of the halberd. She takes to the air and lands clear. "Impressive. Two points for you." They return to their sides. This time Raijinmon makes the advance again, and weapons clash. She blocks twice with her spear's handle, evades him, then their blades clash again, he blocks, and as she moves in, he backhands her then swats her with the side of the katana. "Two points for me." They set up again. Raijinmon charges, but then jumps into the air, sword overhead, wings spread. As he falls, she flies out of the way. He hits the ground hard enough to make it shake, and his katana is stuck into the ground. She turns and smacks him with the flat side of the blade on his neck. "Three points for you." They go to their sides. Sea Lilymon puts away that spear and takes Masato's sword. Raijinmon takes out his double sword. Sea Lilymon makes the advance at him. They clash, their swords making a loud clang. Sea Lilymon continuously blocks his strikes. "There is more to sword fighting than parrying. Fight!!" She barely dodges the blade and then she strikes, splitting his handle in half. He wields the two swords and assails her. She gets a few offensive thrusts in there, but he parries them all. He lashes, and she evades the first, and blocks the second. As he reset from the lashes, she moves in close. He rears down with his long neck and snaps at her. She kicks one of his blades away with her fin, then knocks the other way with her sword. He snorts at her, blowing her to the ground and making her drop her sword. Super fast barrages of fists furiously fly, the other contender that one's equal. Raijinmon swats his poison spiked tail at her, and he flies up to evade, barely missing him snap at her. He jumps up and attempts to roundhouse her, but she goes under his foot and lands. As he finishes the move, he laughs and says, "You have much more to... I'll be." She takes hold of her sword, vaults up with it, and kicks him dead in the chest, sending him flying. He hits the ground with a thud. She goes over to him, and Raijinmon says, "This old digimon taught you well. I don't remember kicks like that hurting so. I'm getting too old for this." He gets up. "Four points for you. You beat me, Sea Lilymon." Gomamon hits the ground with his paw. "Damn, and I betted on Raijinmon!!"

At the same time all the rest of this good stuff was happening, Lily was descending further into the depths with Jun and Andromon. "I'm bored. Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored..." Jun asks, "Lily, you actually want to fight something?" Lily says, "Frankly, I'd just be happy with sirens and whistles going off saying I'm the millionth visitor. Something. Perilous my ass." Andromon says, "It is like the Valley of Duckies and Bunnies. Cute name, dangerous place." Lily goes on, "Who knows?! Maybe it's there. Maybe Gennai found it and made an omelet and forgot to tell someone!!" Jun goes, "Calm down..." Lily wails, "Watch it not be here!! If she wasn't already in jail, I'd strangle her for all this hype!!" They continue to another firewall, which is destroyed. "Yay. Rubble. What a nice change of pace."

In the upper level, Keiko yells, "Hey, guys!!" To Sakiko and Yuuji. Scarletmon jumps and hits her head on the ceiling in fear. Sakiko startled, requests, "Where did you guy come from?" Ryo says, "If you check your digivice every now and then, you'd know we were coming." Scarletmon goes, "My head hurts." Keiko and Ryo gag at the smell. "What died!!" Ardillamon exclaims. Sirenamon goes, "Hah ha. You stink too. Stupid swamp." Ardillamon ponders, "Why would there be a swamp in a desert?" Yuuji goes, "The world may never know." They start walking again. Sakiko checks her digivice. "There seems to be three large rooms ahead. There is also an unidentified ping deep underground with Lily and Jun. Wait, make that 5 pings..." They walk into one of the rooms. Keiko says, "It's a... gift shop." Sakiko grabs a T-shirt that says, "I explored Etemon's pyramid, and all I got was this damn shirt!!" Sakiko says, "Raid the Gift Shop!!" They grab anything and everything they can. Sakiko and Yuuji find backpacks and stuff more stuff on them. The digivice says, "Analysis Complete. Targets acquired. Targets are: #1 - Gazimon. #2 - Gazimon. #3 - Uraniumon. #4 - Knightmon. #5 - Etemon. Uploading historical reference; Etemon." It starts to play a holographic video. "Etemon was the former ruler of a vast desert empire. He possessed many servants, most were mostly Gazimon, Tyrannomon, and Monochromon. He oversaw his empire from a pyramid base using a network of dark cables, which allowed him see everything in his realm. His empire began to crumble when the Digidestined landed on Server in 2000. After four confrontations with him, including one that sired Skullgreymon from Taichi's fear and stubbornness, they were told of his location by a digimon who had the Crest of Love in his possession, but claimed that he needed help escaping from Etemon. During the mission, Sora was abducted and taken to a lower chamber where she was copied, the first human or digimon ever such cloned. In the second mission, Etemon was fused to his dark network, but Greymon was able to digivolve to Metalgreymon and defeat him. He returned later as Metaletemon, but was defeated again by Zudomon and Saberleomon. He has shown up one other time, and was defeated again by Neptune Zudomon, the First Terra, and Lewis Wick." The playback ends. Scarletmon goes, "Oh my, that looked just like this pyramid, except without the marsh." Sakiko goes, "That's right!!" Keiko takes her digivices and messages Lily, "Guys, we just found out the former owner is back and is after you!!" On Keiko's digivice, a new unknown shows up, coming for them. Ryo yells, "This way!!" He goes left instead of straight and enters Etemon's old control room, complete with velvet rope around the consoles. "Must be part of the tour." Keiko says as she motions everyone out. The run straight, and find themselves at a certain. "Quick, in!!" The run in to find where all the pipes and cryogens lead here, a clear status tube. Sakiko says, "That digimon after us is no ordinary digimon. It's Ramon, and he's closing fast!!" Keiko looks at it and says, "Oh my... There's someone inside, but who?"

Lily and Jun enter a large chamber with a giant supercomputer system on one wall, and shackled tables on the other. Lily goes, "Pleasant." Jun goes, "I'd say quaint." The computer turns on and a holographic image starts to load. It finishes loading when they get Keiko's message. Lily turns and yells, "Sora, we need help!!" The hologram, which looked like Sora when she was 10, says, "Sorry. Outside communication have been severed, and I can't access the damaged area." Jun says, "Funny Lily. She's a hologram!! If you'd look at old pictures, you'd see that's what Sora looked like at age 10!!" The Sora hologram says, "That is correct, Jun Hirosashi." Jun stutters dumbfounded in shock. "I guess you're wondering how I know your names and all. See, Gennai came here approximately 19 years ago to search for a digimon of legend, which he said would belong to you, Lily. He uploaded some important data to me before he was killed." Lily says, "Speaking of 'kill,' is there some sort of security system you can arm, because Etemon is on his way!!" Sora puts her hand on her forehead. "Oh, not this loser again. He's so annoying." She waves her hand at the hall and three sets of reinforced doors closed. "They won't hold them long, but it will be long enough to tell you what I must." Lily says, "Okay, spill it Sora." Sora walks over to a lockbox, reaches through it, and picks it open. "First off, I'm sorry to say that your digimon isn't here, Lily. Second, there is another digimon here, though it isn't yours. She is Arachnemon, a digimon created by a man named Yukio Oikawa. Also, Gennai said that he would leave a message, though I can't find it in my database. He did say that there had been another digimon here, a Ramon. He told me that his real power comes from an amulet he wears, the Eye of Ra. Said it made him Terravolve, but the real evil of Ramon is in that amulet. It holds a long imprisoned digimon called Sethmon. Gennai told me to tell you the next time you fight him, smash the amulet, so Sethmon is destroyed with it." There is pounding on the door. "This is most important. The reason why Attorneymon is so determined to kill you Lily is because he fears you." Lily goes, "Huh? Him, afraid, of me?" The Sora hologram continues, "Actually, any power-hungry evil has reason to fear you. You have an amazing power that is growing. It's said that once you find the digimon of legend, this power will continue to grow and stabilize. As of now, it is powerful, but your anger makes it unstable. Only when you learn to let go of your anger can you fully master this power. It is then, when your power peaks, and you released your anger, that you are prophesized to summon forth a being that is part digimon, has a human element in it as well, and part like the beings that speak through Hikari, known as the 'Megami.'" Lily goes, "Megami?" "Gennai was not sure exactly how you will do it, but it is said that you will, and when you do, darkness will be no more." Jun goes, "So, you're saying that Lily here, if she reaches this potential, would have the power to call forth a being that could obliterate the powers of evil?" The Sora hologram says, "This is true." Lily asks, "How do you know of the original Digidestine and Attorneymon?" Sora says, "I once had a corporeal form made by Datamon. He expected me to replace the real Sora and command Biyomon to attack Etemon. What he didn't realize was that he also copied all her memories. After the place was leveled, my corporeal form continued on, thinking I was the real deal. It wasn't until the reconfiguration, when the pyramid was rebuilt, and I met the Digidestined again did I remember. The link between the computer and my body was reasserted. My physical form was destroyed in the Temple of Life helping the real Sora and Miyako find their way through. This holographic body of mine can exist anywhere on the island Ramon made of the pyramid. As for Attorneymon, he is mentioned as one of the key figures in the Megami prophecy, which Gennai uploaded into my memory." Andromon asks, "Then what is in the box?" She puts it down on the table. "I still have chills thinking about these tables." She then opens the box. "Gennai told me the Shards you currently have in your necklaces are flawed, and cannot transfer the proper power. He handcrafted new Shards that will fuse with the old and fix the errors. Lily, would you hold your digivice to them?" Lily points her digivice at them, and they glow. Slowly, the Shards hover up. In beams of light, they zoom to the others, and the Shards of Truth and Trust vanished into a digiport. The Shard of Zeal hits Jun's necklace, and the gem becomes an oval gem, and surrounding is a ring made of the old shard, and to the sides of the rings are two small teal gems. In the oval, set in the center, was a red Crest of Zeal inside it. The same thing holds true for the others. The Crest in the Shard would always be the opposite of the shard, Teal Liberty, Dark Teal and Blue Innocence, Kelly Green Truth, etc., except Lily's. When her shard hit it, it became spherical, and in the center of the emerald sphere is a gold Crest of Martyrdom. It has the emerald ring, but around the ring are 18 triangular emerald gems. "Whoa, neat." Jun goes as she glows with power. Lily yells, "Don't look now, but that door is coming down!!"

In the chamber, Keiko looks at the woman, who is in a blue silk dress. "How sad. She looks like she's asleep." She looks at her, when Ryo goes, "Pity later, staying alive first. He's coming this way!!" They look around and find a passage. They go upstairs. "There are intruders... I can smell them. They must be eliminated." Sakiko leads them up and out to... the roof. "Anyone up for some parachuting without parachutes?" Sirenamon exclaims looking over the edge. Sakiko says, "Fine notion you got there, Sirenamon, but even if we survived the fall, Ramon has two consorts outside." Ramon comes up the steps.

"Andromon, Warp Digivolve!!"

"Andromon Warp Digivolve to Xaviomon!!"

He charges them and knocks them back down the hall. Jun yells, "We have to get them out of here before you tear up this place and smash Sora's computer!!" Xaviomon looks up and sees an area that would remain strong even after it is damaged. "We're going for a ride!!" He shoots his claws, tethered, through the ceiling. They hit a side of the outside of the top. He grabs the lot and holds them tight as they blast through the basements to the outside. "Hey, let me go you overgrown tin can!!" Etemon yells. They reach the surface, when Ramon's guards came at them. "Going up!!" He busts through the side and up through now useless corridors. "Hey, you destroyed my old personal chambers you stupid galoot!!" Etemon screams. They end on the far end of the roof.

"Tulisapia Warp Digivolve to Hyancinthasapia!!"

"Scarletmon Warp Digivolve to Phoenixgryphonmon!!"

"Sirenamon Mega Digivolve to Undinemon!!"

"Ardillamon, why didn't you digivolve?" Ardillamon answers him, "You have the Crest of Hope. You have acting hopeless lately, and I have to have your Hope and faith to digivolve." Ryo goes, "But how can I have hope in a time like this? We're doomed!!" Sakiko goes, "Phoenixgryphonmon, help Xaviomon mop them up!!" She runs at. Uraniumon goes, "Meet my 'Little Boy Torpedo!!'" He hurls a small nuclear device at her, but she goes airborne.

"Gale Force 1!!"

She flies at the attack head on, jets blazing behind her, and she hits it, and goes through it as it explodes, the shockwave amplifying her force. Upon contact, Phoenixgryphonmon blows him in half and he goes poof, but then Ramon reaches out and draws his data into the amulet. "A little more energy and I will be free of this accursed form and this amulet!!" Lily and Jun, running up the stairs, signal to Keiko, "Don't destroy any more digimon. You have to get the amulet off Ramon and smash it. If you don't, a deadly digimon called Sethmon could be released." Lily makes a second communicade, this time to the reserves. "Guys, we're calling you into duty." By the time Keiko gets the response, Xaviomon had finished off the Gazimon with Triple Claw Grenades and Phoenixgryphonmon has taken aim. Etemon goes, "You accursed digidestined are always ruining my comebacks!!"

"Dark Network!!"

He hits Xaviomon, knocking him over, the thud drowning out Keiko's shout to stop. Phoenixgryphonmon grabs the Chinooks.

"Chinook Firestorm!!"

In a windy incinerary blast, Etemon was slagged. Fortunately, Ramon did not it since Xaviomon blocked his view and therefore did not absorb him. "I shall feed... on you!!" Ramon takes out his staff.

"Sun Staff!!"

He hits Xaviomon, almost knocking him off the roof. Phoenixgryphonmon turns her Chinooks on Ramon and fires, but he just walks through it and holds her by her neck, then hurls her into Xaviomon. She gets back up and rushes him.

"HMD Efreet Claws!!"

Her first slash didn't hurt him, but the second ripped the amulet off him. She holds in her giant talon hand and mocks him. "I got you amulet. Har har!!" Ramon gets angry and blasts away with his staff. In his rage, Undinemon Fin Kicks him in the back. He turns and beats her with the bottom of the staff and wallops her in the face, knocking her down the stairwell. Lily and Jun reach the room with Arachnemon in stasis when Undinemon rolls down the stairs. "I have owies all over. Hi, Lily." Lily asks, "Has the help come yet?" Undinemon goes, "What help?" Lily says, "I'm calling Lewis. Maybe he can track them down." She says to the digivice, "Hey, Lewis. Got any idea where that help is? We requested it, and it isn't here. We got Ramon on the roof here!! Not far behind us are two of his cronies!!" Lewis turns to Miyako and Bonnie. Just as soon as he does and they are about to wire her up, the gem comes out of a digiport and bonds with her shard. It starts to pulsate and the crystal ring around the shard is beginning to fill clockwise with white light. The cops are disturbed. Lewis goes, "I don't know about the help, but I know someone who can help." He messages Taichi, "Taichi, send Meramon to the Digital World, these coordinates. I don't have time to argue!! The others' lives depend on your cooperation!!" Taichi runs through the house and finds Meramon outside. "Dude, Lewis said you have to go to the Digital World now!! It's a matter of life and death!!" Meramon goes, "But I can't anything with out Bon..." Taichi doesn't even listen, but instead uses his digivice to send him. He appears in the cryo room of the pyramid. Undinemon goes, "Why couldn't you have done that, Lily? Oh, damn, my cheek is bleeding from where he hit me!! Hope it doesn't scar." Yuuji takes some gauze from his pocket. Undinemon goes, "You think of everything." Yuuji goes, "I had a feeling someone would need it so I swiped some from Lewis." Lily's eyes go big. "Wait till Sakiko hears this." The digiports open, and out come Bonnie and Meramon. Lily goes, "This is a day for surprises!! How'd you..." Bonnie says, "I knew my dad had something to do with it. In fact, Lewis found out he pulled the same trick on my mom when she got nosy." Lily says softly, "Welcome to my world, Bonnie Winchester." Her crest glows, then Bonnie's does too.

"Meramon Warp Digivolve to Boltmon!!"

"Boltmon Warp Digivolve to... "

A serpent of fire flies from her digivice as well as the explosion. When the serpent consumes Boltmon, he glows. Everything changes to a burning wasteland. Boltmon walks through the fire into view. A geyser of fire erupts all around him where he stands. The flesh on his pecs melts away to reveal his metal musculature. Two golden plates land between his clavicles and his shoulders, and fuse together in the front and back. Two dragon skulls come from the fire and become golden Megadigizoid as they pass through the flames, a ruby on each. They lock onto his shoulders and the other plates. A red cape hangs down his back. Another red cape goes over the other cape and over the skulls and his held up in the front where two plates had fused. Golden shin plates come up from the geyser and encompass his lower legs. A red apron-like ribbon descends down in front of his legs on a new belt with a holster. Fire sweeps around his right arm, transmutating the lower part into pure silver metal, and making his hand bony-like T-800 metal styling. Another gust of fire and his skin turns orange, and all the muscle and skin on his neck and clavicles was burned away to reveal his metal endoskeleton and a face like the T-800, all his hair gone, and a red turban-like thing on his head. The fire rushes up again and a giant sledgehammer was burned into place. He takes the sledgehammer over his head. A beam flies directly from the smoke hidden sun and hits the hammer, and he pounds into the ground, causing an earthquake, spewing magma and making the fire grow to ten times their size. From the quaking fissures his name arrives.

"...Vulcanmon!!"

His profile comes up. Bonnie narrates, "This is Vulcanmon. This Giga Android comes equipped with a collapsible arm minigun, eye lasers, and his 7 ton sledgehammer, made of a Gigadigizoid-Lead alloy that could very well be the heaviest substance in existence. Using the minigun, he can use the 'Vulcan Fireball' to spray and pray his foes into toast. Unarmed, he uses his 'Dragon Fire Chi Force' to spout a volatile tornado of fire from his hands. His 'Welding Sight' melts through anyone he looks at. With his sledge, he is deadliest. When he swings his sledgehammer around, it is called 'The Metal Craft.' His ultimate attack (The one shown in the sequence), where he rips open the very bowels of the earth itself and unleash a vengeful blazing hellstorm is called 'Hinokagutsuchi's Anvil!!' His face is kinda scary." They run out, but first Bonnie looks at Arachnemon in the stasis bed. "Somebody must care about you a lot of they took the time to watch over you." Jun goes, "Come on!!" Bonnie follows. With Ramon's back to them, they ambush him.

"Dragon Fire Chi Force!!"

"Fin Kick!!"

The rubies on the dragon skull shoulder plates glow, and rings of fire run down his arms. They get to his hands, where rays of power converge. He holds his hands by the right his head, cupped over the power he holds. He keeps his hands parallel as he 'pushes' at him, a chain of fire with the head of a dragon. The surprise and force brings him to his knees. Undinemon hits him just after and throws him forward, then she handsprings, and hits him again, a charged blast, exploding and throwing him at Xaviomon. Xaviomon's payload doors open.

"Ballistic Missile Barrage!!"

The blasts throw him at Keiko, who is ready.

"Photosynthesis Ray!!"

This keeps him airborne. Phoenixgryphonmon goes, "Hey, it's fun playing hacky-sack with an evil digimon!! My turn!!" She runs, then goes airborne.

"Gale Force 1!!"

She strikes with the greatest strength she has ever used, then, as he flips in the air, she says, "Airsick? Let me help you get two feet back on the ground." She does an over the shoulder throw and he crashes into the roof. She goes, "Funny? I always thought sun gods landed on their feet." Ardillamon walks over and gives Ramon a kick in the ribs. "And I kick you too. Now I do it again." He kicks him again. Lily yells, "Ardillamon, get that amulet off Ramon and smash it, then he'll be normal again!!" He climbs on him and reaches for it, when Ramon grabs him by his scrawny neck. In this really creepy echoing voice and his eyes glowing, Ramon says, "I shall not be defeated by some rodent!!" He starts talking in an ancient Egyptian tongue, the translation: "The day of reckoning has come for all of you and the ones who stand in my way. I shall rule this all, and not even Attorneymon shall oppose me." He returns to English. "Your power is mine!!" Ryo yells, "You're so close, Ardillamon. I know you can smash it!!" His digivice glows.

"Ardillamon digivolve to Puxitomymon!!"

"Puxitomymon digivolve to Cupidmon!!"

Ramon still holds him tight, but he is able to reach an arrow. His vision blurs from being drained. Cupidmon makes the quick draw.

"Patriot Arrow!!"

He fires the special arrow of his at the amulet. His blurred vision keeps him from making a good hit, but it cracks it open. Ramon hurls him then shoots him with the staff, making him revert to Ardillamon. "My power!!" He cups his hand over the amulet and squeezes. Moments later, it is sealed. He staggers like he was really hurt. He lets out a series of Egyptian curses, then the sky goes black, the sun eclipsed.

"Eye of Ra!!"

What little sunlight left fuels him, and he spreads his arms out as the sun power spreads like waves at them. Keiko de-digivolves, as does Undinemon, going back to Sirenamon. Xaviomon gets up slowly, his joints sparking. "Servos fused. Circuit damage. Internal explosion. Payloads 2, 5, 8, 9 and 10 are non-functional. Optical feed at 67%. Power cells draining. Retreat advised." Jun yells, "No, we must hold our ground!! I have hope our LATE help will come. Besides, we can't let that monster in that amulet get free!! Now, get ready for Round 2, Ramon!!" Ryo goes, "Give it up, Jun!! We're lost. We have no way to fight. We're just doomed to fail again." She backhands him so hard she knocks him down. "What kind of talk is that? You, of all people too!! You were chosen to be the embodiment of Hope personified, is calling this hopeless!!" Sakiko goes, "She has a point. We have to continue, no matter what." Ryo mentions, "Then why do I feel one day this radical fanaticism will get someone hurt?" Lily goes, "That's your fear talking. You must triumph and make Hope shine once more!!" Ramon goes in his ancient tongue, his eyes glowing, "Your power is mine!!" Jun yells, "Not today!! Not ever!!" Her digivice and necklace blaze in teal light. A digital fog comes from her digivice, the cloud thundering with lightning, and swallows Xaviomon.

"Xaviomon Warp Digivolve to Alcyaid Xaviomon!!"

Sakiko goes, "For those fallen, we shall strike back a hundred fold!!"

"Phoenixgryphomon Warp Digivolve to Manticoramon!!"

Ryo thinks, "If they won't surrender, neither will I!!" He turns to Ramon, digivice blazing, "Hope is something no one can ever silence!! See what hope is!!" It explodes into a wave of yellow light, and it hits Ardillamon.

"Ardillamon Warp Digivolve to... "

Scenes of Patamon's Warp Digivolution to Seraphimon flash by. The digivice flies in. The wave hits Ardillamon, then the light. In a flash, Puxitomymon. Another flash, Cupidmon. Then the beam ends, and the light shines out from inside him. A figure in a white robe stands there. He looks up and light strikes his chest, making armor like Holyangemon's on his chest and left arm under the robe. Boots like Seraphimon's appear on his feet. Spiked knuckles line his right hand. Under the hood, his eyes glow, and then the hood is thrown off to reveal a human head with glowing eyes, spiked halo over his forehead, and medium length silver hair. A scepter appears in his left hand. The white background fades to the inside of a giant cathedral. He swings his scepter around like a staff. A demon busts through the floor and he turns, his scepter to the sky. Light comes through the roof, hits the scepter, shine in many beams around him, then spheres fly from all around, and they all converge on the demon, blowing him up in a white flash. The scene goes outside, where it is raining, and busts through the cathedral doors inside where he stands at the ready, a giant stained glass window behind him with the Crest of Hope in it. The thunder rumbles, but then light comes through the glass as the rain stops and hits the digimon. Two other windows, one on each side of the center window, explode, the colored glass signifying his name. The bell tolls as he calls his name.

"...Saintmon!!"

His profile comes up. Bonnie narrates, "This is Saintmon, a Mega level Angel digimon. He looks like a quaint monk, but he doesn't turn the other cheek. With his Pious Scepter in his hand and the Halo of Humility on his head, he walks soft, carries a big stick, and he uses it too. He can also temporarily strip a digimon of their special attacks with his 'Vow of Silence.'" The digimon rally.

"Raging Maverick!!"

"Sahara Vulcan!!"

"Welding Sight!!"

"Pious Scepter!!"

The attacks hit him all over, he stumbles back, but then walks out of the mist. Manticoramon says, "Walk away from this!! Y..." Sakiko yells, "Whoa, stop there, Manticoramon!!" She is already standing on her tail, her arms up in the air. She looks at Sakiko. "Er... why?" Sakiko says, "Uh, because your Y Force tends to blow everything up, and since we're on the roof of an upside-down pyramid, blowing up the pyramid along with Ramon with us and Ramon would be bad..." Manticoramon looks around and says, "Oh, yeah. Blowing up the pyramid is a bad thing, at least, for the rest of you." Ramon throws Saintmon and Vulcanmon near the edge and eyes Manticoramon. "You need help getting down? I'll help you!!" He shoots her point blank and she sails through the air, and lands in the marsh area, hitting her back on the trunk of one of trees, she ends up on a branch on her stomach. "My stomach hurts, my tail hurts, and my back hurts. I have three owies." Then she falls over into the water. "Lewis better have a hell of a lot of tomato juice." Back on the roof, Ramon dodges Saintmon's Halo of Humility and grabs him. "Your power is mine!!" He drains him and turns him back into Chippermon. Bonnie goes, "He can't get any more power. Otherwise, the evil will be free to ravage everything!!" Lily goes, "He used to be this digimon called Mummymon. He brought that woman, er... digimon here called Arachnemon here and saved her life. He must have taken it so he would have the power to do that, but it has consumed him." Ramon laughs, "That fool Mummymon is gone. Attorneymon started my ascent to freedom, but he too will be crushed under my might!! I shall rule all!!" Bonnie goes, "Then why come back here, if all you care about is you? I think Mummymon is still in that mind of yours, and he wants a piece of you." Ramon yells, "Shut up!!" He shoots at her, but Vulcanmon smacks it back at him with his hammer. "Will the real Ramon, please stand up." Ramon goes berserk and sucks Alcyaid Xaviomon dry, making him Cymon. "Face me!!" Bonnie yells, "I'll do one better!! I'll save Ramon too and return him to his true self!!" Her necklace vibrates and glows. She looks at it, the ring nearly all white, then filling. Three beeps sounds as it finishes as it fills, then when it does, a long 'BBEEEEPPPPP!!' sounds. The top of her digivice opens. A receptacle comes out of the necklace. She interlocks them. The two gems on the sides glow and release two crests, Light, and Knowledge, which spin around faster and faster around the necklace. Lily goes, "Oh my..." Bonnie holds the combination necklace/digivce triumphantly and yells,

"THE SHARD OF TRUTH!!"

The two crests slam, smash, crash into the shard, shattering it. Brilliant violet-pink light shines from the cracks, then the shard explodes, and as they fly away traveling in all directions, the area and everyone except Bonnie and Vulcanmon turn violet-pink, and the fragments pass through everyone. The light in the necklace turns white, eclipsed only by the Shard Crest. Both the hole that held the shard and the digivice fire beams at him, and he is in a pillar of light. All his previous forms surround him like phantoms, as well as his current form.

"Vulcanmon Terravolve to... "

All his forms start to spin round and round toward him, the light growing. They enter him and the light swallows him up. You hear him scream out, light beams stretching out and around the area where he was consumed. A figure suddenly eclipses the light, walking out from it. It is a very humanly man with orange Gohan style hair and wearing leather pants. He just stands there, darkened out from the light, drawing its power. Meteors come from the atmosphere and spiral down the light at him. One collides and creates chest plating like a cross of Seraphimon's and Taomon's (Renamon's Ultimate, not Zenmon's Rookie) chest armor, but in orange and red. Another meteor falls and splits in half, and become light and thin shoulder plates. Two more meteors near and become rings. Orange armbands they are, the left with the Crest of Truth, and the right with the sun on it and its Roman symbol clamp on his arms. From the light he pools power to make orange Gigadigizoid gauntlets on his hands. Orange Gigadigizoid boots with red soles appear on his feet. On the back of his chest plate two bull horns materialize from light. In between, a red disk appears and is nestled behind his head. The rest of the light wraps over his neck and forehead, the part around his neck went over his clavicles and shoulders and made a yellow cape that went down to his feet. On his forehead the light became a yellow bandana over his forehead. In the center was the Crest of Truth. From the sun a staff like Wizardmon's, with a sun design at one of the ends, flew from the sky and was on fire from entry. It is coming from behind. He spins and grabs it effortlessly with one hand. He ends his spin facing forward again. He swings it around in one hand and finishes by stepping forward with his left foot, the staff behind him, and extends his left hand out. The water of the marsh glow white and white light surrounds the pyramid.

"Apollomon, The Real Sun God!!"

The purplish background and tint shatters with him still in his finishing pose, the fragments fusing back together as Bonnie's shard, now glowing bright. Lily, Sakiko, Jun, Sirenamon, and the recently returned Manticoramon glomp and stare at Apollomon. Jun, "Oh Buddha he is hot!!" Manticoramon goes, "He can light my fire anytime..." Sirenamon goes, "Screw Ken, I want him!!" Lily just mindlessly drools. Jun says, "Now that I think about it, I should have brought that camera..." Chippermon smacks them all and says, "More fighting, less staring." Bonnie goes, "Just because he's so hot it doesn't mean you gotta act like idiots. Geez, you're setting us all back!!" Lily, "Sorry." Manticoramon, "Oh, I'm sorry." Sakiko, "Sorry." Jun, "Okay." Sirenamon, "You say something, Bonnie?" Yuuji goes, "You can stop staring now." Sirenamon breaks her eye hold. "Oh, I guess we got carried away there..." Apollomon's profile pops up. Bonnie reads, "Meet Apollomon. As these girls just pointed out, he is a site to see, but I wouldn't recommend drooling at him. He'd toast you no time flat with his Taiyo Mana Bomb and his Doragon no Hikari (Dragon of Light). Then he'd turn and beat you with his Eclipse Stave or Fusion Rings. Finally, with my digivice, he'll finish you his choice of his painful Van Allen Whip or the massively destructive Solar Storm." Ramon circles around and says, "Now that they are done drooling over you, it's time to incinerate you!!" They clash, their staffs colliding. Manticoramon, "I'll help..." Sakiko goes, "No. Bonnie and Apollomon have to do this on their own." They push each other away.

"Eye of Ra!!"

"Taichiyo Mana Bomb!!"

He moves his fists around in kung-fu moves, flaming sunlight gathering around his hands. The forces collide over his head, he grabs it, then hurls the giant sphere at Ramon's attack. They collide and an explosion that nearly throws everyone off the roof and busts up the roof occurs. The Sora hologram says, "They're going to level this place... again!! I don't think I can take those Geckomon singing as they work again!!" Ramon and Apollomon take to the air. The two rivals swing punches and staff swings so fast they cannot be seen. Apollomon bicycle kicks him and gets some distance.

"Fusion Rings!!!"

He releases his staff. Both ends glow with sunlight. The staff starts spinning in mid-air, creating a ring like the Jogression ring, except on fire. A red chi glow surrounds him and his eyes go white. After 7 revolutions, he grabs the staff, pointing perfectly up and down. He rips the staff away quickly. A sound quickly getting lower and deeper, like a power down sound comes from the ring. His chi shoots at the center of the ring in a big red beam. When the sound reaches its lowest point, a flash, and an arrow-like blastwave, like the one from the Stargate in "Stargate" shoots out of the ring, followed by a ring shockwave, a white blast spherically expanding in all directions comes from the ring after the arrow resolves and goes back into the ring. As the shockwave closes, rings of fire, hundreds of them, fly from the epicenter. Ramon is in pain as the white blast hits, and in complete shock as the rings pummel, smash, bash, and explode all over him. He is blasted back through the shockwave in flames, through the pyramid roof, through the pyramid, and out the side, into the marsh. The Sora hologram transfers herself to the roof. "Uh, girls, guys, could we do with less pyramid smashing. Laying off would do me and ice cube lady some good about now. I got to live here you know." Sirenamon goes, "No worry!! This hunky little number we all call Apollomon took care of him!!" She jumps into his arms as soon he gets on the roof. Apollomon just blushes. Bonnie sniffs the air and goes in an almost Damon Wayans way, "I smell SHIT!!" Lily, "Bonnie..." Bonnie, "Well, I do!!" Sirenamon, mad and gritting her teeth, "I'll bathe in a tub full of tomato juice when we get home, OKAY!!" Bonnie goes, "It's not you, Sirenamon..." Chippermon goes, "So sue me." Bonnie goes, "It's not you either." Manticoramon goes, "Don't look at me. I only fell into one of those trees." Sakiko asks, "Okay, then who then...." Bonnie takes another sniff, but rising up behind her glowing is Ramon. "Now where's that smell coming from?" Ramon is soaking wet and covered in lotuses and weeds. Bonnie raises her arm up to smell herself. Good move, since Ramon fires his staff, and it just whizzes by her side. Ramon goes, "Pay, insolent fool!!" Apollomon throws Sirenamon behind him to get ready, but there is no roof behind him, so Sirenamon grabs his cape and hangs on for dear life. The shock of her grabbing him and pull of gravity is enough to make Apollomon bend almost completely back. The attack singes the tip of Apollomon nose, but that's it. Sirenamon is screaming for Apollomon to stand up so she can get back on the roof, her fins flapping around in terror. "Ack!! Apollomon, you jerk, stand up now!! How dare you throw me like that!! Okay, I forgive you, now get me back on the roof!! I'm really high up, and if you can't tell there's no safety net!! Hello, I'm a Water Nymph digimon, not a Bird type!! Is my name Biyomon, NO!! See these fins. They're for swimming, not flying!! Oh, why am I even this high off the ground? Who the hell built this thing so high? Why are we still fighting on the roof?! Aaaahhhhhh!!!! If I develop acrophobia, I'll know where it came from!!" Apollomon and Ramon both yell, "Shut up, Sirenamon!! No one cares!!" She pouts. "Well I'm the one hanging on a piece of cloth over a ravine that could possibly be my doom. I have a right to care." Keiko goes, "She whines more than grandmom." Lily goes, "And Lewis." Yuuji goes, "Cut that out!! She's my digimon and my friend!!" Apollomon is able to regain his balance, but before Sirenamon can get off his cape, Ramon shoots again and the part of the cape she is on rips off and she plunges, yelling, "SHIT!!" Bonnie goes, "We really got to stop cussing like that, dammit!! There are little children with us!! Hell, what the shit am I talking about, we are children, technically. Lay off the damn profanity, dammit!!" Sakiko goes, "Manticoramon, you know what to do." Sirenamon is falling, "You know, this isn't half bad except for the fact that I'm going to go splat on the desert landscape in about, oh, 30 seconds." She thinks about using her powers to make a storm to blow water from the swamp, then freeze it under her in a ramp form. Suddenly she realizes the reality of the current situation. She just sits there falling, then says, "Damn, why didn't I think of that earlier. It's too late for that!!" She continues her plunge. "What's taking so long!! I thought I'd hit the ground by now... Wait a sec, what's holding my fin?" She bends upward to see Grandkuwagumon holding her by the fins. He tosses her up and she lands on his back with Ken. "Oh, it's time you guys got here!! Oh, goody Ken you saved sorry I had that infatuation over Apollomon but he was so hot but all that hotness must go to his head because he acted like a real jerk to me oh I so so so sorry Ken I'm so happy you're here oh goody goody you really like me you really really like me oh I knew you did Ken!!" She plants a kiss right on his lips. The smell from the swamp swoons him. Sirenamon goes, "Oh, how sweet. He fainted. He does like me." Grandkuwagumon thinks, "Something comes to mind about her... 'Come a listen to my story 'bout a Motamiya named Jun... Glomped over every man she saw, Yamato too!!' Is it just me, or is she a mix of Mimi, Yolei, and Jun all rolled into a Mermaid Digimon?" Flying behind Grandkuwagumon was Imperialdramon, Neptune Zudomon, and Sea Lilymon. Manticoramon, standing there on the roof as Apollomon and Ramon fight behind her sees Sirenamon getting caught, and says, "Well, my work here is done." Apollomon falls on her smoking hot. "Eh, Sakiko!! Now can I help them? I'm sick of standing around doin' nothing here!!" Apollomon goes, "Yes, help is good." Sakiko goes, "Well, I was hoping he could fight him on his own..." Bonnie goes, "Don't you know anything? Behind every great man there is a woman who can do the job ten times better." Apollomon, "Ha ha." Ramon jumps at the two of them with his staff. Apollomon and Manticoramon roll out of the way, and Apollomon hits Ramon's right leg with his staff and Manticoramon took out his left leg with her tail. Ramon is knocked to his knees. Manticoramon yells, "So long Sethmon!!" She reaches for the amulet when Paladin Imperialdramon hits him in the back, making him roll, and the rolling allows him to get back on his feet.

"Eye of Ra!!"

He fires, and Paladin Imperialdramon retaliates.

"Ichiban Hi Roketto No Sora!!"

Daisuke goes, "Fry that pharaoh, baby!!!" Lily goes, "Uh, Daisuke, we were about to stop him when you attacked. The idea was to get the amulet. Does the name Mummymon come to mind?" Ken regains consciousness. "Did I hear right? Did you say Mummymon?" Daisuke adds, "I haven't heard that name since... since... oh it's so vague... all that time living deep in insanity..." Ken goes, "Since the night we fought Belial Vamdemon." Jou goes, "Belee-who?" Ken, "Belial Vamdemon. He was the one responsible for making Mummymon and Arachnemon. Apparently when you beat Venom Vamdemon, he became two beings." Bonnie goes, "How do you get that?" Daisuke jumps and goes, "How'd you break out of jail!!" Bonnie goes, "Long story. Tell later." Ken says, "Simple, Hikari told us that when they fought him, attacking him failed. It was when they attacked this 'Beast Within' that they beat him. I figure Vamdemon's data went away, but the Beast was in itself a sentient being, and that's what possessed a man, a man named Yukio Oikawa. After we came home from destroying Obliviomon, and after Blackwargreymon left the Digital World in peace, This Oikawa showed up, people claiming he had been gone for four years, missing. I checked, and I found he tried to manipulate the Digidestined in hopes of getting help from Neo Apocalymon. I think he used an American alias..." Jou, "Jake Wells." Ken, "Yes. Using Oikawa as an avatar, he used Oikawa DNA to make his goon squad, Mummymon and Arachnemon, since at the time he was detained inside a mental institution. It was Christmas Day that Mummymon, dressed as a doctor, and Arachnemon as a nurse, abducted him from the institute." Daisuke goes, "I remember some of this now... He had been masterminding the whole thing from the asylum you guys locked him in. He came to the conclusion he would have to find a source of power..." Ken, "Dark spores, like the one that made me the Digimon Emperor..." Daisuke goes, "At the same time, another digimon called Demon was after Ken. He wanted the spores too." Ken adds, "Daisuke, Yolei, Iori, and myself sealed him away in the World of Darkness, since we couldn't stop him, and we were still tired from the Obliviomon fight. After Demon, we kept everything a secret from you guys, partially because like how Taichi sheltered us from the whole Overlords situation, we figured it was our time to protect you. You guys were so weak after that battle in Houston we didn't want you involved." Daisuke adds, "Taichi may have done something foolish, like try to use the Power Nexus again and could have got himself killed." Ken continues, "We managed to save the kids he implanted with the spores, and successfully disarmed them in all of the kids but one... a girl named Nariko. Oikawa used Nariko's power to open a gate other than the Heighten View gate. He knew all standard gates were guarded with arsenals potent enough to bring down even the strongest Ultimate digimon by their respective governments. Instead, he used a laptop to open one. We followed him..." Daisuke goes, "I remember a strange card pattern. There was 9 cards, 3 by 3 rows. I remember Agumon was the card in the upper left. Wonder what it was?" Jou goes, "The card key system to make a Digital Gate. It's how Vamdemon first entered the real world. He had the wrong card. He should have had Gomamon up in that corner." Neptune Zudomon, "That's right." Apollomon is thrown off the roof. Manticoramon kicks Ramon back to the edge of the roof. "Stop jacking your jaws and help me!!"

"Grandkuwagumon Terravolve to Fujita Okuwamon, The Winds of Change!!"

"Fujita 5!!"

"Tsunami Cutter!!"

"Sahara Vulcan!!"

"Water Lily Crescent Beam!!"

"Toxic Ink!!"

"Four Noble Truths!!"

The combined force brings him to his knees. Lily yells, "If we get the amulet off and smash it, it'll all be over!!" Then Paladin Imperialdramon comes back into view. Ramon goes, "Must have energy..." Paladin Imperialdramon closes. Ramon stands. He takes his staff out. "Your energy is mine!!" He clothesline Paladin Imperialdramon, then grabs him, draining him dry and throwing to the side as Demiveemon. He then turns and grabs Neptune Zudomon and saps him. He just walks at Krakenmon, and he sucks him dry, all those tapped of power reverting to their in-training forms. Ramon, in his evil bellowing voice, "I have the power!! I can shed this imprisoning and useless form. I am free of this amulet!!" The amulet shatters and an evil mist comes out. A black light comes out of Ramon's mouth and into the mist. Yuuji goes, "That doesn't look good." Romeo, "Ya think!!" The beam ends, and Ramon collapses. An evil laugh fills the air. The mist becomes a cloud that blacks out the whole sky. In it, the face of a humanoid hyena with spikes in his eyebrows and two giant bullhorns on his head appears. He says in that same voice and egyptian tongue they heard Ramon speak, but much deeper, Translation: "Fools!! I am free, and soon I will have my body restored. You are all damned!!" Demiveemon says, "I did bad..." A growl and hiss, and flaming hail shoots now.

"Kansas Catastrophe!!"

A tornado sweeps over the pyramid roof, throwing roof bricks and rubble at the flaming hail. Some of the hail is being blown away, and other pieces exploding upon hitting the rubble. Each hailstone that hit rocked the ground severely. The cloud came together to form a humanoid body. It was wearing black pants and had a belt, where a red cloth hung in front with a black skull on it. His legs, and the lower half of his torso, arcing up to his right shoulder, was human, as was his right arm. All above that point, past a Frankensteinish scar and stitches was more humanoid form, but this part looked dead and covered in dark brown fur. His left arm was the same way, and had deadly canine claws on the ends of his fingers. His head matched the face in the cloud, with dark brown fur all over it and the eyes pure yellow, his mouth filled with fangs. He had a devil tail and demon wings on his body as well. Dark mist covered his arms and giant devices covered his forearms. Energy claws protruded from the slits on it. On his belt two gold kukhris hang there. "Sethmon lives again." Ken takes out the laptop modified with the new analyzer. "This is Sethmon, an Ancient Demon God Digimon. Once imprisoned by the amulet Ramon wore, the power he absorbed allowed him to break free of his prison. This Demi-Omega digimon will not relent until he has instilled hate, fear, and death unto the worlds. He will carry out this unholy mission of genocide by using his Scorched Earth Policy, or his Wretched Sands, Highwayman Massacre, Golgothic Hellfire, his menacing Horus Slayers, and worst of all is when he unleashes Apep's Begotten. I understand why he was sealed away now..." Daisuke goes, "Guys, how are we supposed to deal with a Demi-Omega!!" Sethmon growls, "You don't." The blackness in the sky swirls and a red lining shows up.

"Golgothic Hellfire!!"

More hailstorms rain down.

"Sahara Vulcan!!"

"Fusion Rings!!"

Manticoramon takes out all the rocks heading at the pyramid, but the attack from Apollomon didn't cut it. It only knocked Sethmon forward. He turns at him.

"Wretched Sands!!"

Sands blow around in a furious sandstorm. Thunder blasts inside the sandstorm. Lightning bolts strike and whip Apollomon, while sands rip at his flesh and erode his armor away, all the time suffocating the others. Bonnie goes, "I don't think we're going to make it out of this one alive." Ken goes, "What demon have we unleashed?" Jou said, "I knew the desert would claim my life!!" Daisuke yells, "Noodle cart?! What was I thinking?!" Sakiko goes, "I'll be with you soon father." Romeo thinks, "Why here, before I became famous?" Jun, "There's no more point in going on." Masato's life flashes before her eyes. Lily gets up and yells, "I will stop you myself!! Sure, I may not have a partner digimon or any fighting experience, but those things don't matter if you have virtue and purpose... All you stand for is evil, chaos, and death, and they are all wrong. You cannot go on destroying and killing...." Sethmon smirks. "Heh." "I will defeat you!!" Her digivice starts glowing. "A mere mortal wants to take me on... I laugh at you, and spit on your soon to be corpse." Lily goes, "Strike me down, but others will rise up. More will then rise, and will be more powerful than you can ever imagine. The more you hold us down, the more we... fight!!" She holds her digivice to the sky and a green energy shield surrounds the group and is repelling his storm. Soon after, Masato gets up. "Running... That's all I ever did, run from my problems, but no more. Two worlds count on us, and there is no running, and frankly I'm tired of running. I make my stand here. Beings like you are the embodiment of the worst in all. Virtue will prevail!!" Her digivice and necklace glow. Yuuji gets up, "Who knows how many billions need people like us, people who can be relied upon!!" His digivice glows. Ryo yells over the storm, "I won't let you guys fight alone!! I may be a kid, but I know he cannot be allowed to hurt others!!" Ryo's digivice glows. Tetsuo goes, "It's beings like you who ruin harmony for us all!!" His digivice glows. The shield surrounds them, and then white light...

"Chippermon Warp Digivolve to Saintmon!!"

"Saintmon Warp Digivolve to... "

Light flies up from the ground bleaching everything out and his hair and robes flapping in the wind. Everything on him turns white and in flames the robes go away to reveal a yellow cloak and hood, held there by a silver pin shaped like the Crest of Hope. On his upper body is gold trimmed blue armor and small shoulder plates over a white body suit. On his arms appear plates like Archangemon's, but ridged into three parts and gold trimmed blue coloring. On his hands dark grey gauntlets with gold joints appear, and on his right hand, the joints are in fact spiked knuckles. A groin plate appears as well as blue shin plates and boots. On his head, gold rimmed blue metal headband goes over his forehead, an orange topaz set in the middle, and on his left and right sides on the band, a small gold metallic wing comes out. A blue transparent visor slides down from the band. The white fades to reveal him standing on the bell tower of Notre Dame in the midst of night in a thunderstorm. He yells and punches the air. Golden radiance goes from his right fist starting in front, then slowly arcing around it until everything is glowing gold, even the rain. Sparks of radiance fly about and everything goes white again, except the edges of the structures and the digimon. Suddenly, there is a flash and the rain has stopped, light piercing the mostly overcast sky and hitting him.

"...Michaeamon!!"

Yuuji yells, "Show him, Sirenamon!!"

"Sirenamon Mega Digivolve to Undinemon!!"

"Undinemon Warp Digivolve to... "

Her shoulder plates bend up and two more appear under them. Head guarding side plates appear. An extra layer clamps on to her forearms. Her chain mail tank top grows sleeves. On the bottom edge of her armor, the Crest of Reliability appears sideways and Seraphimon-ish belt plates come down. The ribbons fuse into two, one on each arm, and they are big!! It then grows and from her shoulders they go up and fuse into one over her head, and hang over it like Angewomon's ribbon. A light comes down and three gold phoenixes fly down. Two swoop around her and fly up her forearm, attaching to the forearm plates and becoming armor plates themselves. The third flies around and onto her ab area under her breasts. The 'wings' wrap around under her breasts, around her sides, up her back, and the tips can be seen over her shoulders. The 'tailfeather' section becomes hinged and fuses to the ab plates. An orb, a glowing pearl, lowers over her head and makes a beautiful jeweled golden tiara that pearl in the center. On her tail half, a second smaller set of fins grow above the main set. A trident materializes in her left hand (Notice there are a LOT of left handed characters?) and on the trident is a small lunar crescent design on it and another bigger one on the bottom. The light goes away to show her 'standing' on a rockface atop a beach at night. She holds up the trident and the wave spray up and crash on the beach around her, with Neptune in the background, and the moon slightly eclipsing it.

"...Tidal Sirenamon!!"

Tetsuo, "Let's restore the cosmic balance!!"

"Zenmon Warp Digivolve to... "

Scenes of Lewis becoming Hypertomorrowsapien flash by. Everything goes silver as the beam hits. A flash, Shintomon. Then the explosion. A gold band ties back his hair. Metallic markings are over his face. Two katana scabbards hang over his shoulders. The light fades from him showing him wearing a silver version of Tetsuo's outfit. He steps out of the light, which then fades to reveal a pagoda behind him. The wind blows from his left with cherry blossoms going by. As the wind blows, his hair blows in five different 'bands,' or groups, of hair.

"...Nirvanamon!!"

Masato yells, "Scum like you have no honor!! You prey on the innocent, and care not for them. Well, today fate is going to repay that debt to those fallen!!" The necklace and digivice pulsate in unison. The ring fills with light. "YAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" She slams the necklace into the receptacle.

"THE SHARD OF HONOR!!"

"Sea Lilymon Terravolve to... "

Time freezes and a similar shatter sequence like Bonnie's shard happens. All of her forms, from Germinamon to Paladin Lotusmon hover about her and merge. Light glows all around her as the phantoms enter her. She hovers out of the light and all you can see is a silhouette. As she comes into the light, a gold trimmed teal cuirass materializes on her. She has four leaf wings on her back, but they are white, and the top two are fatter and wider than the other two. The scales on her tail half are now white. Her hair has gone white as well. Avalonmon style shoulder plates land on her shoulders in the cuirass color scheme. On her arm a giant kite shield in the matching color scheme takes hold of her right arm. In the center is the Crest of Honor, surrounded by four leaves. On her arms are those same Lilymon gloves, the main part is pink, the petals white. Around her waist appears six belt plates like the ones Paladin Lilymon wears. The tiara of flowers is back on her head. Giants white capes fall from inside the shoulder plates. From behind her ears appear five gold bars like Paladingreymon's. White vines wrap over her body. Some lace the shoulder plates with the cuirass. Another set start around her hips and wrap around and progress down her fishtail half to her fins, where they spread away from the fin and end in red roses. A holster pops up on her left side, on her hip. An enormous two-sided axe fills it. She swings the axe around and it blurs as it moves. Moments later she finishes.

"...Valkyrie Lotusmon, Noble Beauty!!"

All four profiles pop up at once. Ryo goes first, "Michaeamon, Giga of Ardillamon, Archangel digimon. His skills excel in martial arts, and that is proven when he uses 'Seven Deadly Strikes.' His most powerful move is his 'Consecrating Jab.' Like his fellow archangels, he too possesses healing powers. 'Archangel's Forgiveness' transfers some of his power to heal the wounded or incinerate the undead. Hey, aren't Archangels supposed to have wings?" Tetsuo is next, "Meet Nirvanamon, Mega to Zenmon. His lack of armor and small frame allows him to move quickly and silently. Many of powers lay not in battle but in stealth and ambushing. His 'Crystal Mist' disables his foes, allowing him to make his strike or to vanish into the shadows. In 'Stealth Mode' himself and anything he holds becomes transparent until he chooses otherwise. Also in his bag of secret tricks are his main weapons besides his sword, his 'Atomic Caltrops.' Infused with the powers of the elements and nuclear to increase their power, a sore foot or messed up boot will be the last of your worries." Yuuji is next, "Sirenamon maxed out!! It's Tidal Sirenamon, her Giga and highest level of Sirenamon!! In water she can break Mach 3, and her ribbons allow her to glide on the air. Her 'Alpha Tide Gem' summons water into a slashing beam that she can control with her hand. Her 'Omega Tide Gem' summons the rains and storms to create a mighty tide and storm, and finishing it with a crushing wave half a mile high. It doesn't stop there!! Her 'Seawolf Torpedoes' bombard you into submission and her 'Hudson Trident' impales, freezes, and shatters many a foe. Lingering overhead, she may be tempted to use her 'Deuterium Depth Charges.' Finally, when using my digivice as a weapon, she unleashes her most powerful attack of all; Flying Zero." Masato goes, "Despite her wounds given not long ago, she found it in herself to Terravolve into Valkyrie Lotusmon. She is part Flower Nymph, part Water Nymph, and all Paladin. Her 'Valor of the Green Knight' lays a mighty smackdown with her axe and poisons the enemy all at once. Her 'Hydroponic Shower' will blow you open like a shotgun at point blank range, and if it doesn't, the seeds in the water grow into vines, and then bind, cut, slash, and constrict you into giving in. Along with that, her long-range arsenal also includes the 'Midnight Lotus,' a lotus leaf sharpened to an edge of mere quarks that permeates you with holy light, plant toxins, and a special random effect. With my digivice/sword in hand, Valkyrie Lotusmon has use of two particularly deadly moves. The first is 'Europa Crescent Crash,' where she sends out a supersonic crescent light blade that homes in on its target, then shatters into smaller crescents and seeks out new targets. The other is called 'Tranquility Landing,' she flies into the air, plummeting to the ground, fin and sword first, the sheer force ripping the opposition apart..." Sethmon looks in amazement. "So you think you can stand up to me? Well, taste my wrath!!" He makes the sandstorm worse, and the forcefield is draining at Lily's strength. Michaeamon, "I'll handle this." He walks forward.

"Consecrating Jab!!"

Like in the digivolution, a golden brightness hits everything, circling his fist. Everything goes white and only outlines can be seen. Beams of gold light come to Michaeamon from the pyramid, the others, even the grains of sand. His right arm 'lights up in flames' from the power. He flies out and connects with Sethmon, moving so fast the sand barely even touched him. The magnitude of his hit makes him have to stop his storm. Tidal Sirenamon goes, "Here's something to pelt you!! Seawolf Torpedoes!!" The white pearl section of her right forearm plate opens, and four missiles extend out, then fire, then four more, all firing one by one from left to right, immediately reloading after each salvo. "ENOUGH!!" Sethmon yells.

"Horus Slayers!!"

From his skin circular blades come out, then fly out at everyone, five at each. Fujita Okuwamon yells, "I got them, go for Sethmon!!"

"Fujita 5!!"

He blows them all away. Apollomon and Tidal Sirenamon double-team him. Apollomon hurls her into the air, where she is gliding over him. At first she is screaming, but then she realizes she's in control. "This isn't so bad...." Apollomon goes, "Hit him now!!"

"Fusion Rings!!"

"Deuterium Depth Charges!!"

Tidal Sirenamon wraps her whole lower body around her trident as she holds it with her hands. A fuchsia aura surrounds as she yells. Three orbs shoot down from each point on the trident. The rings and the orbs hit at once, and a blinding meltdown takes place. Sethmon goes, "That actually hurt!!! Meet Apep's Begotten!!" Valkyrie Lotusmon goes, "I think not!! Midnight Lotus!!" She hurls three lotus leaves and they jab into his chest just as he was to do his attack, and the attack mysteriously fizzles. He removes the leaves from his chest and slumps over for a moment then tries to use his attack again.

"Apep's Begotten!!"

Nothing. "What? This can't be!! My powers are useless... I must have not absorbed enough energy. I'm still weak!!" Nirvanamon jumps off Valkyrie Lotusmon, then Tidal Sirenamon, then Apollomon, and finally Manticoramon and is way up in the air. "CATCH!!" He hurls a light blue caltrop and it hits Sethmon, causing a meltdown, then collapsing and freezing. "Oh, he's cold...." He throws a red caltrop and after his meltdown, he's screaming as he burns all over. "Oops, I gotta put that out." He starts to unzip, but says, "There's children present... I can't do that, but this'll work!!" He throws a dark blue caltrop and Sethmon is blasted and cut up by cannonballs of water. He is soaking wet. "Oh no, it seems like it got all dark and overcast all of a sudden.... That means one thing. Oh no, it's a thunderstorm!!" He hurls a yellow caltrop and it explodes and electrocutes Sethmon. Nirvanamon falls and kicks off Sethmon, jumps off Michaeamon, bounces off Fujita Okuwamon, and lands safely. Nirvanamon, "Now that's teamwork!!" Michaeamon flies in. "My turn!!"

"Seven Deadly Strikes!!"

His left fist charges up and he jabs him. A bell tolls and light flashes. A gold orb appears over his head. His knee glows and he takes Sethmon and rams him into his knee, another bell sounds and another flash of light, ending with a silver orb under his feet. His head glows and he head butts him. Another bell and flash, a red orb to his left appears. His feet glow, and he performs a double roundhouse, another bell and flash, and a teal orb is to his right. His left palm is glowing, and he palm strikes him hard. Another bell and flash, a violet orb is behind him. His right foot glows, and he does a flying kick into him. Another bell and flash, a green orb is in front of him. These orbs enter him and he glows a golden color, and then the glow goes to his right hand in a brilliant blinding light. He draws back, and time seems to stop. The background goes white, and eclipsing the light is the Japanese kanji 'Shichi.' His fist then closes as time progresses every so slowly, then as he is to connect with an uppercut, time returns to normal and he strikes him so hard he is knocked to the sand below. Sethmon gets up and runs across the sand, jump up, run up the side of the pyramid, and onto the roof. "Go no further, Sethmon!!" Valkyrie Lotusmon yells. She takes Masato's sword.

"Europa Crescent Crash!!"

The crescent connects with him, and he doubles over, but he just stands back up and charges. Before she can react, he runs past and grabs Lily. "What power is it that makes you unlike any I ever fought?! I must have that power!!" He starts draining her. Fujita Okuwamon tries to rip him away but is thrown into Valkyrie Lotusmon. He continues sucking when he is brought to his knees by a shot to his back. A voice, "I'm not letting you the chance to take advantage of others and destroy this world!!" Ken goes, "Ramon?" Sure enough, Ramon was standing, his staff smoking. Sethmon goes, "You betray me now? I gave you that power, and I can take it, but first, I want to watch you see what you most care about die." Ramon, "No!!"

"Scorched Earth Policy!!"

Fires bust out of the ground and spread all over, blowing up all they touch. The pyramids supplying the cryogens explode most violently. Ramon is on his knees. "No... Arachnemon...." He gets back up angrily. "It may of been my fault you got free, but since what I love is lost, I must settle for the next best thing, keeping scum like you from hurting anyone else!!" The Sora hologram transfers to the cryo-chamber. "He's insane!!! Maybe if I can thaw her quick and get her vitals stabilized, maybe he'll be more rational." She turns a knob and heaters turn on. "Hurry up you piece of crap... Wait, this is linked into my main systems.... I just called myself a piece of crap."

Outside, Sethmon throws the Digidestined digimon out of his way. "YOU CHALLENGE ME!!" He comes at him. Ramon grabs him and holds him, his staff pointing at Sethmon's head. Ramon goes to the air and starts glowing. Ken, "What is he doing?" Keiko, "Why is he pooling all that power?" Bonnie goes, "That much power will destroy him too!!" Sethmon struggles from what should be an easy grip to get out of, considering his strength, but finds himself held steadfast. Ramon goes, "There's one power you never gave me." Sethmon goes, "So? What?" "The power to stop you!!" His body is filled with light and energy is amassing at the tip of his staff.

Inside, Sora goes, "She's stable. I can open the tube." She opens it and Arachnemon slowly wakes up in human form, her blue eyes opening. "Oh, where am I?" The hologram goes, "There's no time. I need your help." "Why should I help you?" "Mummymon's life is at stake." Arachnemon goes, "So, he was always a fool." Sora smacks her hard. "Don't talk like that!! If it wasn't for him, you wouldn't be here today. He has watched vigil over you for 40 years, and even let himself be possessed and consumed by the evil of another imprisoned digimon just so he could have the power to heal you. Like Oikawa, it ate away at him, and now he's free, and Mummymon, or should I say, Ramon, is about to sacrifice his life in your name to destroy him. This evil is just like the one who possessed Oikawa!!" Her memories of the fight start coming back.... "He... used us... Belial Vamdemon used Oikawa and us like puppets, and Oikawa lost his life for it..." Sora goes, "Just like how Sethmon used Ramon, and now Ramon is going to die because of him, but this time you have a chance to change that!!" Arachnemon stumbles out of the tube, and Sora grabs her and carries her to the stairwell.

By the time they get out, all they can see is a white glow. They both look up. Then, beckoning from the sky, "For Arachnemon!!" An explosion goes off, then ten more, followed by a shockwave. Daisuke yells, "Take cover!!" Lily yells, "Under what?!" Their respective digimon throws themselves over their partner, and Lily and Keiko get under Fujita Okuwamon with Ken. The shockwave hits, badly devastating the roof. Urchinmon went to Coralmon, Michaeamon reverted to Chippermon, Valkyrie Lotusmon reverted to Algaemon, Apollomon reverted to Candmon, Nirvanamon reverted to Zenmon, Tidal Sirenamon reverted to Sirenamon, Manticoramon went back to Garramon, and Fujita Okuwamon de-digivolved all the way to Leafmon. Lily, "Is everyone okay?" Tetsuo goes, "I'm fine..." Bonnie goes, "Yep." Romeo goes, "I'm a little sore." Daisuke goes, "My head hurts." Lily says, "Good. No one's hurt." Sirenamon announces sarcastically, "Oh, thanks for caring about us." Lily goes, "Are you guys fine?" Sirenamon goes, "Yep, A OK!!" Leafmon mutters, "Oh, if she only knew how much like Yolei she is...." Jun goes, "Hey, what's that?" Daisuke goes, "And that!!" Pointing into the sky. A scream could be heard, and Ramon hits the battered roof. He just lays there near motionless. Arachnemon slowly runs to him, still weak from re-animation. Ramon turns and says, "Am I dead... Is that you Arachnemon?" Arachnemon nods. "Sister?" Arachnemon goes, "Sister? What happened to you being all over me?" Ramon pinches himself very slowly and goes, "Still living, but not for long.... I called you sister because... after learning that Oikawa was our creator, we shared DNA. Things that share DNA and have a father are brother and sister, and I was wrong to try to make you want to love me. I still love you though, as a sibling. I care so much for you, that I took that bum deal from Attorneymon to wear this amulet 19 years ago, when you took a turn for the worse. He prayed on my love and concern, and let that beast Sethmon consume me so I became his pet, but then he became thirsty for more power. Every little digimon he destroyed, I felt like I was losing you more and more, and when I saw him destroy the cryogenics, I thought you were gone, and I had to make sure he couldn't anymore like you..." Arachnemon began to tear up. "Oh why?" Ramon quietly goes, "When it comes to family, nothing else matters. Unfortunately, I didn't completely succeed. To save you, your digimon half had to be destroyed, but in the end, I would sacrifice all of myself to save even a part of you... and it looks like it happened. If I couldn't save all of you I don't deserve to live with you." Lily goes, "Stop talking like that Ramon!! We'll figure something out!!" Ramon goes, "My gift to you, new Digidestined, I obliterated Sethmon. He will never threaten anyone ever again. And to you my love, my sister, I give you this..." Arachnemon starts crying holding the fading Ramon, but as he fades, it starts to rain, gold drops fall, and the desert slowly vanished, being replaced by a green meadow with flowers. The swamp became a pristine lake with clean clear water. Forests grew all about around the edges of the plains, and more meadowland grew, and in it the prettiest flowers anyone ever saw. Moss grows over the pyramid. Arachnemon sits there on her knees still crying in front of his staff, all that is left of him, the Sora hologram comforting her. Arachnemon cries, "Why did I treat you so mean?!"

Lewis goes, "Needless to say, after the group left, Bonnie's sting worked perfectly, and now Bonnie's mother/Takeru and Hikari's daughter will be released in time for the holidays, and she is going to receive major compensation for her wrongful arrest. School started up again, and the Dominion quieted down, but the holidays don't mean that joy to me or Lilymon anymore, because someone we loved the most won't be here to share it with us...

In the meantime..."

Sirenamon, "Oh god, that tomato juice is ice cold!!" Yuuji, "I'm sorry, but Lewis put it in the fridge. Says it works best if you bathe cold." Masato goes, "Wait a sec... That gunk from Neo Spheremon was much colder than this and yet you didn't feel it. How come this is so much colder?" Sirenamon yells, "Because I'm in boiling hot water!! The shock!! Well, that, and I was a Mega when I was covered in it." Araiya goes, "Oh stop whining." Mimi goes, "Whining isn't good you know. It gives you wrinkles.... Damn, broke a nail." Zenmon outside, "Hypocrite!!" Lilymon says, "Oh, don't let him get to you. We all know you're a hypocrite. Now let's finish washing the rat." Ardillamon goes, "I'm not a rat, I'm a Squirrel digimon, ya damn bitch." Lilymon punches him out and says, "See Mimi, you can't let jerks and morons get to you." Zenmon yells again, "You all a bunch of damn hypocrites!! I'm gonna meditate." Araiya goes, "Finally, someone agrees with me." Mimi goes, "I wonder who taught Ardillamon those words?" Bonnie gets up and says, "I'll go take a break now..."

Outside, Lewis drives up. He has a rank smell to him. "Ah, that's all over... I got soap, shampoo... Bath time!! WOOHOO!!" Daisuke and Oswald are outside with Sirenamon's armor washing it. Oswald goes, "Man, we got the good job..." Daisuke adds, "Yeah, those morons. We only had to pay $100!!" Veemon looks at them and thinks, "I think we got screwed. We should only of had to pay them $20!!" Daisuke picks up the armor and tries to put it on. "Damn, she's small. Makes me wonder... Does she diet or get lipo?" Oswald goes, "Maybe she's ana... anare.... she doesn't eat." Daisuke, "Maybe. Hey, look at me!! I'm Sirenamon!!" Lewis walks up. "Hey Oswald, we up to watch that ga.... Holy shit!! Take her armor off and just wash it.... Do whatever weird stuff you do with Veemon in private, okay?" Veemon, "I resent that remark." Lewis, "Unlike him, you actually got the joke." He goes in, and hears all the bathroom doors shut in unison. Lewis looks mad, but controls himself. It starts to rain. He walks into the back yard, strips, and starts bathing, yelling, "Good enough!!" Araiya walks in, sees him, gets nauseated, runs into the bathroom and... "Araiya!! You puked all over me!! Now the smell is never coming out!!" Sirenamon screams.

"Now with one Dominion Council member down, will the Dominion redouble its efforts. Can Malachimon save Lance's mind? What will become of the now fully human Arachnemon? Will Sirenamon ever get clean again? Is Daisuke having urges to go see the Village People? Find out in Bloodline: Ch. 7 - A Daring Escape!!"
