IMPMON STORY SEQUEL

By Linkmaste

Authors Note: A sequel to Secrets. Enjoy!

Two months after the whole incident with Linds turning into a half Digimon and half human, she and Impmon spent a lot of time together. She taught Impmon how to read and some useful education and even some soccer while Impmon taught her pranks and fighting.

Of course Ai and Mako still play with both of them. A little more with Impmon since they only go to school for half a day and Linds had the whole day and a little more since she was a high school student. Mrs. Ramen loves Linds since she could cook and clean amazingly. Mr. Ramen loved her for her passion for sports and her dream to make it to the pros.

“Don’t worry you’ll get there!” Mr. Ramen smiled and patted Linds head.

One cold snowy day, Linds was walking to the bakery to get some treats for Impmon and the twins. She glanced around and put her numb hands in her coat pockets. She walked into the Matsuda Bakery and glanced for the things she needed. Some bread, three brownies and a cookie for her.

“Hey Lindsmon!” The red dinosaur, Gulimon waved and she smiled and asked where everyone else was.

“Takatomon and Jerry are upstairs but they told me they couldn’t come upstairs.”

Linds smiled to herself as she had a pretty good reason. She settled the items on the counters as Gulimon carefully pressed the buttons on the cash register.

“Wow did they teach you that?”

“Yep! And best of all I can have all of the peanut butter I want!”

Linds laughed and gave him the exact money. She waved goodbye and walked out of the store. After a 20 minute walk to the house she yelled a hello and put her pink and black runners beside all of the other shoes.

“Lindsay!” cried Ai hugging her waist. She looked down and saw that she had tears in her eyes. The blond haired teen knelt down and comforted the walnut haired child.

“What’s wrong?”

Ai sniffed and rubbed her already red eyes and explained,

“A man was walking-and-and…someone shot him!”

Linds' expression grew concerned. Crime never happened around here and it was very unusual for that to happen.

“Where is everyone else?”

“Outside expect me and Mako. Impmon was pretty freaked out but he wouldn’t show it.”

Linds suddenly heard the cop cars and ambulance screeching to a halt and several people shouting commands and agreements. She told Ai and Mako to come with her but stay together and the group went outside to see several cops around the area and Impmon running towards them.

“Linds, c’mon lets go inside.” He mumbled grabbing her hand but she shook it off.

“No, its okay you take Mako and Ai inside and tell them what happened. I want to see if Marie and Tai are alright.” She started to run but Impmon grabbed her hand again.
“No, please don’t! Come inside please!” his eyes were in stress and they looked like when Linds’ old family was about to…

“Impmon let me go!” Linds cried throwing him off and sprinting through the crowd but she didn’t like what was on the ground. A man around his late 30’s with blood covering his body and street cloths made him look like a bum. The man was Linds’ uncle.

“Uncle Mark!” she cried in English.

“That’s my uncle!” Linds sprinted to his side not caring about the doctors and her foster parents gripping her shoulders. His once sarcastic green eyes were now lifeless and haunting with emptiness. She started to feel her makeup run from the salty tears now pouring freely from her face.

“It’s going to be okay Mark.” She whispered running a hand through this shaggy blonde hair. She felt so grieved…who would do this? Who the hell would have done this?

“Who did this?” she whispered dangerously. Linds turned around the face several people with sad faces planted on their faces…lies. They weren’t concerned at all they just simply watched her only Uncle get shot and died. Clenching her fists she ran back into the house despite the cries of Marie and Tai calling her back.

“Who ever did this…” she whispered coming to the door. “Will pay when I turn into Ladydevimon.” She saw Mako, Ai and Impmon staring at her. Mako and Ai were shocked and nearly in tears to see their older sister covered in blood but Impmon had that same expression when her family left.

“You knew didn’t you!” she cried slapping Impmon. He just stood there eyes shocked and didn’t notice the red mark beginning to appear.

“You didn’t want to tell me that my Uncle was coming back! You wanted to let me get on with life without knowing. Screw you Impmon just screw off!” she cried falling to her knees and sobbing. Ai and Mako just stood there chocking as if they were attempting to say something. Impmon however shook his head and repeated sorry until their parents came in.

“Linds…were sorry. We truly are.” Marie helped Linds upstairs to shower off. Tai went over to Ai and Mako to talk to them of what happened. Impmon however knew he screwed up big time. He slowly walked into her bedroom and sat on the bed. This room was originally the basement but now it was a bedroom for Linds since she had the royal excuse for being a girl. He saw posters of singers and boys and random things like a picture of her and her old friends in Canada. They all looked like clones with their long necklaces, side swept bangs, tight clothes and jeans. The only difference was her being the old blonde girl there. The others were either red heads or brunettes. Over to the left of her bed, was a lamp and a desk for her homework. Across was her soccer shrine for her favorite soccer players. Her dresser was clumped with jewelry and makeup from which Marie and Tai spoiled her with after moving in. Several bead strings were hanging down that were different colors. In fact everything was bright and cheery. Totally different from her feelings right now, sad and black inside were her feelings now and it was horrible for Impmon.

He looked over to the girl who had nothing but a towel on, and was shaking her wet hair. She looked over at the Digimon and told him to get out.

“Look I’m sorry. I thought if you didn’t know than ya wouldn’t know about ya Uncle. Ya know how much I hate the mushy stuff but I really care about you toots.”

“I know but please leave me alone now, I have to get dressed.” She mumbled clenching her towel tight as she could. She wanted to stay in a contained area and think about her next actions. She knew that he was murdered but was the motive and who were the suspects?

Impmon left slowly and closed the door behind him muttering about girls being weird. He turned on his I pod and started to listen to a tune that he loved. He wanted to know would want Linds Uncle dead and why. Was it because he was such a jerk and left everyone else? Well it was obvious that he wanted something with Linds because he was near their house. It was starting to get dark and he wanted to see if Linds was alright because she knew that if she got emotionally out of control then everything would light on fire.

“Linds? Are you alright?” He opened the door carefully to find Linds brushing her hair and curling it. She was in simple jeans and a hoodie that was pink and had several MSN quotes such as ‘lol’ and ‘ttyl’.

“I’m fine but I’m going to go find that person.” She said calmly before putting a necklace around her neck. It was the one that she had when she was Ladydevimon.

“Woah! Ya not going out, your gunna get creamed by that physco!” Impmon stood closing his hands into fists. She merely stepped over Impmon and ran for the door. The sun was setting. Perfect she was going to change soon.

“Linds!” Impmon roared getting up the stairs and almost caught her as she was going out of the door. The last rays of light were now peaking now and it looks like Linds was already turning into her Digimon self. A barbed tail was now showing but she kept running and found herself near the park. Good time but Impmon was still hot on her trail.

This was it, she was starting to glow once again as she jumped and once she landed she turned into her Digimon form. She looked exactly like Impmon save for the color schemes. Her once peach skin was now dark blue fur, her belly had a yellow cross on and on her neck were a green bandana and the same necklace. She also had green gloves which she used to grasp a tree branch.

Suddenly she was caught by her bandana by the looming dark figure.

“Linds! Listen to me! You can’t expect to find the guy who killed ya Uncle this is a big city! Trust me!” Beelzemon stood behind sighing at Linds fighting attempts. She finally got off and was on her hands and knees. Violently she used one of her hands to pound the branch.

“I want to be human again! I want to save everyone! I want everything to go back to normal!” she sobbed and shut her green eyes tightly. Beelzemon didn’t like where this was going…this reminded him of a far off memory.

“I wanna digivolve! It isn’t fair!” Impmon cried banging the floor as hard as he could with tears in his eyes. Behind him Renamon stood there emotion less and cold.

Suddenly Beelzemon lifted his head and saw Linds staring at the sky far off.

“There’s a Digimon coming.”

“Linds, go home you can’t fight it.”

As if she didn’t listen to a word she said she Digivolved into Ladydevimon and took flight. Sighing, Beelzemon followed but kept a close eye on her. This whole night was very familiar in a way.

The two got into the fog to see that the Digimon was already there. It looked like a vampire with its’ white fangs and evil red eyes. It wore a cape and old fashioned clothes which proved Beelzemon’s theory on who it might be.

“Mystomon.” He breathed. This guy was an ultimate and Ladydevimon didn’t stand a chance.

“Whoever this guy is I’m taking out my anger on!” screamed Ladydevimon rushing forward and cracked her whip. To her surprise the vampire blocked it with his own red whip.

“You pathetic freak you cannot stop me!” He cried punching her in the jaw. She slumped down several feet away and groaned.

“Ladydevimon get out of there right now!” Beelzemon screamed rushing towards her but a paw was on his shoulder.

“Let her be.” Renamon whispered. “Let her fight it and we’ll save her before it’s too late.”

Beelzemon stood there but in his mind he was screaming for Ladydevimon to come back. It was just like when he was Impmon and fighting that stupid Deva.

“Don’t you friggin get it? This is what exactly happened to me!” Beelzemon screamed trying to break free of Renamon’s grasp. Finally it worked but it was too late.

Ladydevimon was torn and battered. She looked like she was kicked around like her soccer ball and she felt odd like something was slipping away. She found out that she was starting to shatter somewhat as her data was slipping away. But no she couldn’t let this happen. First she turned into a half Digimon half human and became a freak, next her family abandoned her when she needed them the most, and finally when one of her family members was going to see her he was simply killed. It wasn’t fair it just wasn’t! Hatred was filling her veins and she wanted to hurt anything that came her way. If she suffered why shouldn’t everyone else?

Her body started to glow a dark black light as Beelzemon ran towards her. Suddenly he stopped. He did not like this at all something was off about her now.

“Everyone stay back!” he shouted to the Tamers that just came into the dome. Renamon stood there concerned and went over to Rika.

“Takatomon something’s funny about Ladydevimon!” Gulimon said in a deep growl. Terrimon, and Renamon, stood in a fighting stance as she finally stopped glowing the funny black color.

Ladydevimon looked human almost. Her long hair was a dark pink and she had small black horns but very short. She wore a white dress with several pink ribbons and frills. Although her feet were bare and pale along with her skin. She turned around and opened her eyes. They were a blood red which pierced Beelzemon’s heart.

“Stay away guys, I’m not liking this!” he shouted, this was a very horrible feeling and this almost reminded him of Gulimon’s evil mega form.

She turned back to Mystomon who seemed to have a nervous expression on his face but it was covered up by him chuckling.

“Oh, so now you’ve Digivolved into a little girl with horns how cute. Prepare to die and I will enjoy having your data.” He blinked and when he blinked she suddenly appeared in front of his face. She smiled slightly and widened her blood red eyes and suddenly a terrifying rip sound pierced the night.

There stood the Digimon pointing a finger at the beheaded Mystomon and giggled. His body slumped the ground with it’s’ data fading away finally the head went away but the sight was truly horrifying. She started to giggle.

“That was fun. Who shall I play with next.” She turned around and smiled at the group.

“C’mon you damn thing work!” Takato banged the D-Ark and finally got some information.

“Deciliousmon, mega level, special attack: hands of fate. I don’t think that’s Ladydevimon anymore guys.”

“I’ve seen these types before. Do nothing but kill anything that is even in sight. Beheads them, cuts them in half, or even takes their limbs and trust me I do not want to be near her at the moment.” Renamon said grabbing Rika strongly. “We must leave!”

“No! I’m not leaving without her. I don’t give a rat’s ass if you go or not but I’m staying and talking to her!” Beelzemon said starting to run towards her but everyone held him back.

“You’ll be killed! Her power comes from hatred and by the looks of it she has enough to swipe the whole city down!” Henry cried. “We’ll wait until morning so she can change back!”

Beelzemon hadn’t thought of that idea but it was the best one that was said all night.

“Alright but I’m keeping an eye on her! Ya hear me?”

“Guys, not to be rude but she’s almost 5 feet near us!” Takato shouted pulling Gulimon back.

“Momentai!” Terrimon said smiling. Before anyone could yell at the stupid bunny Linds started to whisper something.

“Wanna play?”

The group started to run towards the park main area and found that several people were here.

“Everyone get out now!” cried Rika waving her arms. Everyone else did the same but everyone just ignored them until Beelzemon shot several shots in the air.

“Get your butts moving now!” he screamed shooting a few more shots until he was certain that everyone was out. A moment later the pink haired Digimon came walking smiling. Her once white dress was now bloodstained and blood was covering her face. In her hand was a woman with a screaming expression on her face.

“Oh my god!” cried Rika putting her hands over her face. Her violet eyes were shaking with fear as she slumped the ground in a heap.

“Rika not now! Please get up!” Renamon cried picking her up and shooting out of the area. Terrimon and Henry did the same but Takato and Gulimon stood their ground.

“What are you guys doing? You are not seriously thinking of fighting Linds?” cried Henry running madly.

“She killed someone! I don’t know about you but I don’t want to wait until sunrise to find bodies all over the place! Gulimon ready to Biomerge?”

“Yep Takatomon! Beelzemon are you fighting too?”

Beelzemon slowly nodded. They were right about Linds killing someone it wasn’t right but he can’t hurt her too badly. If you looked closely you could see the smallest tear in his eye but it quickly went away.

“Don’t hurt her too much please.” He whispered to himself looking down as the two Biomerge to Galatramon and started to charge. But as he was going to knock his shield into Linds it crumpled and was thrown away. Same with his joust as it was torn apart.

“What is she!?” they both cried stepping back. Beelzemon knew that they were scared. Once looking into her eyes you could tell she was full of hate and anger.

The thought was gone once Beelzemon saw a familiar person kicking Linds back into a tree. It was Justimon who waved to the others.

“You moron! Get out of there now if you want to be in one piece!” Beelzemon screamed as Linds got up with only a couple of scratches.

“What is this Digimon?” asked Ryo towards Galatramon.

“You know when we mentioned Linds turning into a Digimon?”

“Yes?”

“Well, that’s kinda her but not really.” The knight like Digimon replied attempting to fix his broken shield.

“Wow, she doesn’t look that happy or pretty like you said.” He joked lightly but Justimon made his mistake when he was thrown back into a tree by Linds who was about 3 feet away from him. Beelzemon suddenly saw it and took out his gun and shot the almost invisible hand that pushed Justimon. Linds twitched in pain before turned swiftly to Beelzemon and appearing before him.

“You don’t play fair. Do you hate me?” she asked innocently as he was lifted up in the air by magic. He was starting to loose his air and red dots were suddenly appearing.

“Linds snap out of it! Please no one hates you!” he screamed looking at her red eyes. For a moment he thought they were a small flicker of green but he forgot about it as soon as he was on the ground breathing again.

“No time for you to play.” She whispered walking out of here.

“Where is she going?” asked Rio with Cyberdramon behind him growling.

“I have an idea.” Beelzemon said flapping his black wings and started to fly in the dark sky. “We have to get everyone inside or something before Linds sees them. If we don’t it will be a blood bath battle.”

“Kenta, you and Kazu I need you to call everyone you know and make sure they tell everyone they know so that everyone stays indoors.”

“Roger but why do we have to stay indoors.”

“Digimon but a really powerful one that we can’t hurt.”

“Is it Linds?”

Takato sighed heavily.

“Yes, it’s her but we have to wait until sunrise.”

The town was closed and dark. After receiving phone calls, gun shots from Beelzemon and news that an insane Digimon was coming all doors were locked. Several cop care were positioned all around the city with heavy weapons. Beelzemon swore when he saw this.

“That is not going to do any good. Hey get out of here before she comes here!”

“Hold arms guys it’s Beelzemon!” called the Chief of the Police. The two were sort of friends but only met because Beelzemon wanted to improve his shot.

“Hey, what is this guy?”

“Deciliousmon my power but I have some theories. Stay about 15 feet away her. I don’t think her powers work when your that far away.” He replied grimly.

“Here she comes!” called one of the officers. The Chief said thanks and went back into station.

Beelzemon decided that this was a good time to pay a visit to Ai and Mako. They were indoors also well at least he hoped so. Fear started to bang Beelzemon’s heart as he went to the house but to his relief the twins were just climbing out of the window.

“Where do you think ya guys goin?” he asked behind them. They jumped suddenly and turned around.

“We were going to look for you guys. Mom and dad were getting worried.” Mako replied. “Where is Linds?”

“Not here listen I need you to stay here alright? There’s a Digimon running around and it is really dangerous make sure your parents get the message loud and clear.”

“They already left movie and a walk around the city.” Ai replied but before she could say anymore Beelzemon put them back in the window, said something loudly in English and flew as fast as he could to find them.”

“Oh my god.” Breathed Beelzemon as he saw what happened to the cops back on the street. There laid several bodies limbs torn apart and some beheaded. Others were breathing and dying others were just plain dead. The guns were thrown to the side or crimpled like tin foil.

“I gotta find those two.”

“Where am I?” asked Linds getting up. Everything around her was pitch black and dark expect for her. She turned to her side and saw something surprising. It was her expect…she was her Digimon self.

“Hey! Uh, wake up!” she slowly shook her. Slowly the Digimon opened her eyes.

“Where am I?” she mumbled. Linds suddenly got an idea.

“I think we are in our minds. I dunno how I got that conclusion. The last thing I remember is going after Myotsmon.”

The two sighed and looked at each other.

“Arnt we the same person?” The Digimon whispered. Linds shrugged.

“I’m not really sure. I’m not sure of anything at the moment.”

Suddenly Linds was alone again. She looked around until she heard a voice.

“You are such a freak!” came her cousin Kari. She saw all of her family members expect her Uncle who was lying on the ground dead like before.

“How could you kill him?” cried her mother.

“Wait! It wasn’t me I swear. I wouldn’t do such a thing!” Linds started to cry again. Why was she crying so much? It didn’t matter to her because the next thing she saw was Ai and Mako hanging from a tree. Their lifeless eyes were wide open and blood like tears poured from them.

“No! NO!” she shrieked stumbling backwards with fresh tears in her eyes. She was terrified right now. Her heart would burst any minute or she would go insane! The sigh was so horrible and disgusting. Her stomach did flips and turns and she prepared to throw up.

“I hate you!” came a Brooklyn accent voice. She turned around to find Impmon staring at her but his eyes were shadowed by the dark. “You’re a real crybaby ya know that? Why don’t you go home to your family- opps I forgot you don’t have any.” Impmon roared with laughter as he walked away.

“Your scared arnt you?” came a voice. This one she couldn’t put a finger on but it was somewhat familiar. She turned around to find a girl covered in bandages so her whole face was unrecognizable. Her pale skin shone like it was glowing. Bandages barely covered her breasts and between her legs but that idea was at the back of Linds mind.

“I can help you. You don’t belong with anyone. You’re different and that’s a good thing. The world needs to be taught a lesson. Your friends, family can’t help you there but I can. You see I’m you.” The bandages slowly came off her face to reveal herself with a somewhat smile on her face.

“But they still love me!” Linds cried tears pouring down her face.

“If they loved you then why are you here?” the question gripped Lind’s heart as she placed her hands back behind her.

“Come with me. I promise you we will be happy forever.” She held out a hand. Linds thoughts were confused, hatred and most of all betrayed. She never wanted to feel this way again and the girl in front of her sounded so sincere, so calm, and happy that she took her own hand and clasped it against hers.

The moment was intense and from then on Linds couldn’t feel nothing or see nothing. She was numb but happy. No feelings nothing to wake her from her slumber.


“Finally.” Breathed Beelzemon as he swooped down towards the couple. As he was about several feet he saw the familiar pink haired Digimon turning around the corner.

The dive was painless and cool as he got the two just in time. Unfortunately the two were screaming their heads off.

“Relax, it’s me!” he sighed and rolled his eyes. The two stopped and looked up.

“Impmon? What happened to you?” stuttered Tai Ramen as he was dropped off outside the house.

“Didn’t Mako or Ai tell you I could digivolve?” the dark angel sighed and explained quickly he could and came up with a good excuse with Linds and the Digimon that was on the loose.

Hours had passed since Beelzemon found Ai and Mako parents and the reports from the Tamers were boring and slow. The city all stayed indoors but several people were attacked by Linds or Deciliousmon. He could already see the sun rising and soon the horror would be over. Linds would be back to normal and- and nothing. The memories would still be there. This was going to hurt everyone including her. This was all his fault hands down. He saw the signs, he knew the signs and he had an idea that this was going to happen!

All of the Tamers were on the road. Kazu, Kenta, Takato, Jeri, Henry, Rika, and all of their Digimon. The sun was going up any second and there was Deciliousmon walking up the street with her head down but her body was strongly walking. Finally the sun started to rise and everyone started to smile. Two…three…four…five seconds passed and nothing. She turned her head towards the sun and shrugged continued walking.

“Oh shit!” Beelzemon shouted standing back. “Why isn’t she back to normal?”

“I don’t know but I think we should retreat now!” Takato said but suddenly he was smacked backwards by an invisible force. Beelzemon growled in anger as Linds stood several feet next to him. One by one each tamer was knocked aside. Kazu screamed in pain as a loud crack echoed the area.

Beelzemon didn’t care anymore. That wasn’t Lindsay anymore. That monster killed people! He hurt his friends and she didn’t give a crap for it. He took out his gun and fired suddenly one she was in view. The bullet smacked the small horn on her right side and it cracked off. Loud shrill screams came from the pink haired Digimon as she crumpled to the ground blood poured from the horn and her eyes rolled back so far that they were a complete white.

Green eyes slowly appeared and they were dim and blank. The girl groaned and sat up.

“What happened? Beelzemon?” she lowered back onto the ground as a new set of tears poured down her face.

“It hurts she hurting me Beelzemon please make her stop- gah!”

Beelzemon was next to her in a flash.

“Linds- LINDS! Tell me what’s wrong please! Are you hurt?” he suddenly felt the presence back and he wasn’t prepared. This was going to turn ugly and soon enough it did. A sharp stab hit his stomach and blood suddenly oozed out of his mouth. He attempted to say something but more blood gurgled out.

“OH MY GOD!” Jeri cried nearly throwing up. Everyone else was either unconscious or barely breathing. She attempted to stand up but her leg was in superior pain and brought her down.

“Linds” Beelzemon gurgled. It was painful but he knew she was down their and they will make it out they just had to. “Fight it! Please- I-I-love-you- I LOVE YOU” his screamed could be heard everywhere and everything went black.

“Beelzemon!” Linds cried waking up and seeing blackness. Getting up strongly she called for the girl to come.

“Yes?” she was greeted by a slap.

“I’m getting out of here! Let me go!” she cried being held back by an invisible force. Beelzemon was calling her and she needed out! She was sorry for her mistakes. She shouldn’t have done that! None of this would- stop it hope was the key! With hope nothing was impossible. Just keep hope. Just keep hope.

“I have hope.” She whispered. The invisible grip tightened but she kept on screaming it.

“I HAVE HOPE BEELZEMON! I HAVE HOPE EVERYONE!” she hollered with all of her breath as she felt stronger. Breaking the invisible force and landing on the ground she found herself Ladydevimon again and her other self was now just a skeleton.

“I’m going to get you soon Linds. Not now! But your stupid friend is dead!
Everyone is dead! And you’re going to regret this!”

The cross on Linds began to glow and heal her suddenly but she felt something more. She could Digivolve again! The power was coursing through her veins and she felt powerful than ever.

“Ladydevimon Digivolve to…”

Beelzemon just stood there with shock realizing that he was alive again and the wound was gone! In face everyone was standing up with shock! Linds’ body glowed a brilliant white as she changed. Grey wings with soft feathers sprouted but she was a small child with short black hair with white highlights, her dress was black and white also with a grey necklace with a cross on it. One sleeve was cut off near the shoulder showing her white skin. She wore grey gloves that were definitely silk. On her feet were black ballet shoes with ribbons criss-crossing around her ankles. On her head she had the same horns but one which Beelzemon shot was gone but some still peaked out. She opened her eyes to reveal they were green.

“Hopemon!” she called out in a childlike voice. It was pure but not really. Everything was opposite about her and it seemed so…spell bounding being near her.

“Linds?” Beelzemon asked weakly. The angel like child nodded and smiled.

“Thanks Beelzemon! I-“ suddenly she frowned and said in a more adult voice. “She’s back.”

Everyone gasped.

“Who?”

“Oh man I’m not liking this.”

“Takatomon there’s something like Linds coming!”

“A half Digimon!” Rika cried in anger.

Black mist surrounded everyone as a piercing famine shriek rang through everyone’s ears.

“I told you Lindsay! You cannot get rid of me that easily!” the skeleton of Lindsay stood there eyes glowing of a demonic red.

“You caused so much trouble here! And you do not regret it. You are not me and you know it. Please leave before I loose my patience.”

A hand gripped around Hopemon but the angel like child suddenly appeared beside her.

“You lost most of your power. You are a Champion now but that doesn’t matter what matters is that you caused my friends and family pain and I cannot forgive you for that!”

“Screw you!” she sneered spitting on her but Hopemon moved behind her.

“Staff of Fate!” Hopemon cried having a grey staff and pointing it towards the evil hybrid. A grey light was produced and it hit the skeleton whom turned to stone but not before saying this.

“You still can’t save him! You will be a failure no matter what!”

The now stature fell to the ground and shattered to reveal data flying away. Hopemon suddenly heard gasps and a cry of pain.

Beelzemon was on the ground again with the wound back but this time the data was nearly going away.

“Beelzemon!” Hopemon cried flying towards him and putting his head up.

“Don’t worry toots. I’ll be fine you’ll see.”

“But-but please don’t go! You gotta stay here! I know you don’t like the mushy stuff but I love you!”

“And I love you too but I think I have to go…”

“I wish you didn’t leave. I wish I could save your life.”

As if the wish was granted a Diginome appeared and went into Hopemon’s body. She started to glow as she put her hands on Beelzemon. He started to heal but something else was happening. His tail and wings were disappearing but when the glow stopped everyone around was too shocked to speak.

Linds, now in her human form was clutching a boy around sixteen. He wore a black shirt with the evil smiley on and a red bandana wrapped around his arm. His pants were black jeans that were baggy somewhat. He had black runners with red marks on them. His hair was a natural blonde just like Linds but it wisped out near the ends.

“Hes-he-he” stuttered Takato.

“Human.” Breathed Rika. Renamon for once didn’t have her arms crossed and was somewhat shocked.

Linds gave a moan and suddenly fell down on top of the boy whom was peacefully sleeping. Everyone ran up to them and started to carry them.

“Gaurdrmon can you take Impmon-or well I dunno him?” Kazu pointed to the blonde haired kid. Gaurdrmon nodded and picked him up. Renamon and Gulimon picked up Linds and they started a long walk to Linds’ and Impmon’s house.

“Strange.” Henry said suddenly. Everyone looked at him. “I can’t find any bodies on the ground and everyone is calm and happy as if nothing happened.”

“Could she” Takato looked at Linds. “Could she have changed something?”

“Possibly. Right now I think anything is.” Rika replied sighing. Jeri only nodded and looked down.

“She must because my leg doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“Same with my arm feels better than ever.”

Linds suddenly gasped and woke up. She climbed out of bed but had a sudden dizzy spell so she sat back down. Once again getting up slowly she raced for Ai and Mako’s room to find the boy in Mako’s bed.

“Is he alright?” she asked. Behind her she felt to children wrap their arms around her.

“Linds! Where were you! We missed you!” Ai cried while Mako raced to the boy.

“Who’s this? Is this your boyfriend?” Linds looked at the others who shrugged. Inside she wanted to blush but she kept it down.

“They don’t believe its Impmon.” Said Henry, he excused himself to go call his parents other agreed and they left Ai, Mako, Linds, and Impmon alone.

“Where am I?” a voice came from Mako’s bed. They turned around to find the boy up on his elbow blinking his eyes.

“Impmon is that really you?” Mako cried rushing towards him. Ai couldn’t say a word.

“Of course it’s me what-“ he looked at his hand. Five fingers. “What’s going on?”

“You know how you saved my life?” he nodded slowly. “Well I must have done the same thing because a Diginome came and…” she explained the somewhat touching story. “I’m sorry you have to go through what I went thought.” She whispered but the boy shook his head.

“Nah, its okay I guess. I’m just really confused at the moment ya know?”

“Yea I understand…say…it’s kinda awkward to call you Impmon now I suggest we give you a new name!”

This took everyone off guard.

“We didn’t give you a new name when you changed!”

“Well duh! Having two Impmons would be confusing now wouldn’t it? Besides I was Ladydevimon, and Hopemon now!” she retorted lightly.

“Fine what’s my new name?” Impmon muttered.

“How about Ian? Close to your name plus it’s one of the characters from this awesome gun fight movie!” she knew that Impmon- Ian would like that.

“Sweet, see I have a cool name now and its way better than yours.”

Linds laughed and rolled her eyes.

“Then I guess its Ian. But something else is bothering me.”

“What?” Mako and Ai asked.

“Well you know I’m still human right now could Ian change at dark just like me?” Linds asked putting a thoughtful look on her face.

“WA!” Ian cried “I could still be a Digimon?”

“Well only a half just like me.” Linds replied. “Look, I’m starved and Ian looks like he is going to eat the bed so lets go downstairs and grab some food okay?”

“Yes! Food!” Ian cried jumping out of bed and landing on his butt.

“How can you humans stand with out a tail!” he shouted.

“How can you Digimon stand with a tail!” she replied. “God it hurts if someone pulls on it.”

The heated argument continued as Ai and Mako decided that they should get them some cereal. Jeri looked upstairs.

“They’re fighting again?” she asked. Ai nodded.

“They always fight but not really.”

“Do you mind if I can get some cereal too. Calumon and I are really hungry.”

“Do you have cream puffs?” Calumon asked making his once small ears huge.

“Sorry but do you want some brownies?” Mako asked holding out a bag.

“Brownies for breakfast!” Calumon cried shoving his face with the treat.

Suddenly it got quiet upstairs.

“I think they stopped fighting.” Mako said observantly. Everyone at the phone nodded.

“Say where are you parents?” Jeri asked. The twins pointed to the couch to the couple that was asleep.

“Okay see? Like this.” Linds said walking to the door and back. Ian started to put one foot in front of the other and again. By the time he got back to Linds he smirked.

“See? Not that hard is it?” Linds smiled and suddenly thought of something.

“I don’t think Tai and Marie know about you do they? Well I guess it will be a little bit of a shock.”

“Hello? A little? Toots, I turned into a human! A HUMAN!” he cried waving his arms all over the place.

“Calm down we will just let it down slowly. Anyways I want to get some food and you can walk so let-Okay breakfast is already here” Linds took the bowls and gave one to Ian. He took it and started to stuff his face. Same with Linds.

“Teens are such pigs.” Ai muttered closing the door.

“Yeah.” Mako agreed.

“We heard that!” came a muffled reply but more sounds of eating continued. Finally they finished and went downstairs to see if their guests were here. Sure enough there they were still fighting over the phone.

“Why are you calling Terrimon?”

“Give me the-ouch!”

“Takatomon how much longer”

“Until Terrimon gives me the phone!”

“Momentai!”

“I dunno about you toots but I just want to get out of here. This has disaster written all over it.”

“Agreed. Wanna play soccer?”

“You’re actually going to teach me?” Ian blinked in surprise. Linds scoffed.

“Well I didn’t know you wanted to play or not since you always mocked on how I played in net.”

“Woah sorry for you to PMS.” He muttered.

“Hey you’re a teen to so get used to it. It will come to you soon just wait.” She smiled evilly and the boy’s green eyes grew wide.

“Wait…ya gotta be kiddin me I’ll be PMSing soon?” he started to follow her who smirked.

“Nah, we girls go through that before we get our period.”

“Period?”

“Menstrual cycle. I really don’t want to explain how it works but if I’m pissed or very emotional that’s the reason.”

“So what happens to me?”

“I dunno uhh you seem to be out of all of it you lucky bastard. But that doesn’t mean you will suddenly scream or want to kick something.” She picked up the ball with her foot and balanced it carefully to her knee then with smooth reflexes she bounced it in the air and shot it in her own fake net.

“Okay lesson one. Let’s see how good you can pass the ball.”

The lessons and instructions continued until Ian could pass, kick, dribble, evade, and even juggle quite well.

“You’re not bad at all.” Linds said impressed. She turned around to find everyone outside save from the parents staring at Ian.

“Who won the phone fight?” Linds asked. They shrugged.

“Well it was kinda a tie since we broke it.” Henry said carefully.

“It was Takato’s fault!” Ai and Mako cried pointing their fingers at the goggle head boy.

“Oh c’mon! I just dropped it and the plastic chipped. It was Gulimon who chewed the cord!”

“And your not dead yet pineapple head?” Ian said balancing the ball on his head but to his dismay it just simply fell. Linds ran over and swiped the ball with her feet before juggling it with her knees.

“Hey get back here!” he started to run after her but she was of course too skillful in this sport and played a series of tricks on him easily.

“Or what? Badaboom me?”

Ian simply rolled his eyes as Terrimon laughed.

“Can it bunny.”

“Ohh he’s PMSing alright.” Linds said smiling while all of the guys laughed. Rika, Renamon, Calumon, and Jeri just rolled their eyes and muttered an immature.

“Shut up!” he cried blushing.

“Ohh he’s blushing how cute!” Ian was now growling and looked ready to kill. Linds only knew he was playing but she did have a bit of sympathy for him. She finally snapped out her thoughts to hear a familiar song. Oh yes this song was very familiar and she hated it with a passion. It made her and Ian blush madly as they sang it loud and proud.

“Lindsay and Ian sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage then comes Calumon in a baby carriage”

“Hey!”

Linds looked over at Ian quietly.

“C’mon, let’s get out of here before they do the second version of the song.”

“What’s the second-“

“Lindsay and Ian sitting in a tree F-U-C-“Fortunately Rika slapped them all and told that Ai and Mako were right there! They laughed and tumbled to the ground while Rika stood there yelling her head off.

The two were in Linds' room. Linds was looking thorough her closet while Ian picked up his I-pod gift and listened to a song called ‘Shut me up’ my MSI.

“So what are you looking for?” Ian asked crocking his head to the side. Linds didn’t respond but cursed as she threw a tank top on Ian.

“Watch where ya throwin your stuff.”

“Snap! I don’t have any clothes for you.”

“What do you mean? That wardrobe is full of clothes!”

“Not any guy clothes! These clothes right here you will never wear or so help me God I will seriously kill you. But I guess we have to go shopping for some clothes for you to wear because you can’t keep on wearing that stuff over and over again.

Linds grabbed her purse and suddenly looked at her clothes.

“Speaking of clothes. You out!” she scooted Ian out and started to change. He wondered. Why did she always shoo him out when she changed. Was there that he couldn’t see? I mean they knew everything about each other. With mighty courage he opened the door and proclaimed,

“Okay what are you hiding?”

Like a deer caught in headlights Linds stopped and looked at Ian with shock. She was only claded in her blue and green panties and matching lace bra attempting to put on her tank top. Ian stood there gawking at her.

Everything was a blur. Linds suddenly dropped her shirt, screamed yelled something that Ian couldn’t understand and kicked him out of her room…literally.

“What was that for?” Ian cried on the ground. The whole gang ran downstairs to see what was wrong.

“Why are you on the ground?” Mako asked helping Ian up. He shrugged but kept his eyes on the door.

“Uh, Linds?” Rika knocked on the door. “It’s just me and Jeri can we come in.”

The door opened and closed only letting the two girls in while the boys started to talk.

“Dude, what the hell did you do?” asked Kazu.

As Ian explained his story, the girls were in Lind’s room comforting her. She wasn’t crying but more pissed.

“And he still opened the door!” she cried banging her head on the pillow. Jeri put a comforting arm on her shoulder while Rika muttered about men being idiots.

“Aw don’t worry I think he was just curious. It’s his first real day of being a human. I mean remember how you were first night of being a Digimon?” Linds nodded and sighed.

“No wonder she’s mad. Listen this is your fault but you gotta make it up to her.” Kazu explained.

“Make it up to her?”

“You know buy her chocolates, take her out for supper. Girls love that stuff!” Takato said listing off thing from the top of his head. Everyone else nodded.

“How about you take him out for a movie or something? Just to say you’re sorry. Boys love gory movies.” Rika suggested looking thoughtful.

“Movies for night and you know what happens at night. Wait I got it! A day at the mall! I can get him clothes, we can screw around it will be perfect. And it’s only 2:30 so we got plenty of time!” Linds quickly threw on the rest of her clothes which was a blue top and whit crop jacket. She once again grabbed her purse and smiled.

“Okay Ian lets go!” she dragged the poor confused boy outside and before she closed the door she told that Rika was in charge for the time being.

After a few moments of silence Henry sighed.

“Alright who wants to follow them?”

No one answered but they just bolted for the door including Ai and Mako who were somewhat confused but tagged along with Rika and Jeri.

“Okay what has gotten into you?” Ian cried as he was still being dragged down the street and into the mall.

“Well, since it’s your first day of being a human you’re going to do some pretty gay things such as looking at me half naked. So I’m teaching you how to be a guy. Lesson one guy follows girl.”

“This is going to be fun.” He muttered as he was dragged into a store.

“Okay try this.” She handed him several hoodies, shirts and jeans. After 30 minutes in that store they settled for two outfits and paid 1000 yen for them.

“I’m starving.” Ian said following Linds. She agreed and they stopped at the food court.

“I’m getting fries and a burger you want to same thing?”

“Sure.” He shrugged and Linds smiled.

“See? You’re getting this hang of this!” she hugged him while Ian blushed madly. Awkwardly he hugged her back and while they did this the group talked between themselves.

“600 yen he will kiss her.” Takato challenged Jeri who agreed and shook hands on it. Rika smirked while did the boys.

“What is the big deal with this?” Mako asked Ai quietly. She shrugged.

“I think they like each other.” She whispered.

“What? But if they do they’re going to get married, and profitably forget about us.” Mako cried.

“I never thought of that.” Ai said quietly looking down.

“Okay final lesson. The photo shoot. See that small box like thing over there?” she asked Ian he nodded. “You take pictures. It’s a mandatory thing and you just simply pose and stuff.

“Okay sounds simple” Ian said shrugging as he got in but realized that it was kinda fun. The first flash he had no clue what was going on but he quickly got the hang of it and finally at the last flash Linds stole a kiss which took him by surprise.

Looking at the pictures the couple laughed and they took half of them.

“I want the last one.” She stuck her tongue out which Ian returned smirking. She looked outside and frowned. The sky was a pale orange and she could see the sun was about to set.

“Look, I just wanted to say sorry for looking at you like that.” Ian mumbled putting his hands in his pockets. “It’s just I have these weird feelings and they-“

“Just feel so much stronger?” she finished for him. He nodded and looked at her eyes. God they were pretty.

Linds looked at his eyes. God was he hot or what? As he came closer to her face she closed her eyes and felt his warm lips pressed against hers. She was dazed again by the gentleness of his kiss. Quietly she wrapped her arms around his arms while he did the same for her waist.

“Please give me 600 yen.” Takato said holding out his hand. Jeri scowled and handed him the money slowly. The group was mostly shocked to find out their suspicions of them being a couple was true. They had to ask more questions about it so like a flash of lighting they came up to the kissing couple.

“So how long has this been going?” asked Rika first.

“GAH!” the two cried splitting apart and blushing.

“It’s not what you think!” cried Linds helplessly but it was no use.

“So was it before or after you became a Digimon?”

“Linds, what do we do?”

“Simple, RUN!” she and Ian ran the opposite way with the group hot on their tails.

“This way!” she cried turning a quick left out of the mall. They ran for a couple of blocks but they still didn’t give up. Ai and Mako were at the front of the group running the fastest.

“Those guys can run!” she cried jumping over a garbage can. She spotted a building not to far away. She hoisted Ian up and he grabbed her arms before the group could get her.

“They’re going to get up here quickly.” Ian said jogging towards a door. Linds followed and the two ran down several flights of stairs. They could already hear their footsteps going down them.

“Oh no!” cried Linds nearly falling off the ledge. They were on a balcony which was above an indoor swimming pool and before they could think of something they heard the group behind them.

“Jump?” asked Linds. She grasped his hand they jumped into the pool. As they did they changed into their Digimon form.

“Hah! Nice try guys!” Linds called out as she got out of the pool and shook her fur off. They group yelled they would ask them questions about them later but this was their time now.

“So where to next?” She asked Impmon who shrugged.

“God, it feels so better being a Digimon.” He looked over at Linds who raised an eyebrow.

“What it does? Got a problem with it toots?”

“Alrighty. Let’s hit the bakery I bet no one is even there.” The two Digimon made it in several minutes to the bakery and stole off a few brownies and cream puffs. After all running like that made them very hungry and who wouldn’t want Takato’s parents’ good food?

“What’s next?” he asked. Linds shrugged and decided to walk around the city and finally thought of something.

“I saw Ai and Mako there.” she muttered feeling sad. “We should spend some time with them. They are your tamers after all.”

Impmon gave a thoughtful moment to himself and slowly nodded and started to walk back towards our house. Linds followed and asked for a piggyback ride.

“Hop on.” He muttered while the blue Digimon smirked and jumped on his back. He grabbed his legs while she wrapped my arms around his neck. To her surprise he could carry her pretty well.

“Wow your strong!” She commented while Impmon blushed. She laughed lightly but he retorted.

“You’re blushing too!”

“So?”

“So what? You’re blushing!”

“Yeah I know so?”

The argument continued until we got to our house and we opened the door. But we were suddenly hugged.

“Please don’t get married!” came Ai voice.

“Married?” Linds asked confused.

“You’re not going to leave us are you?” Mako said with tears in his eyes. Linds looked at Impmon who was confused as she was.

“Guys, were not leaving you what makes you think that?” she replied softly.

“You guys are a couple are you not?” Ai asked putting her hands on her hips.

The two blushed at once and they stammered.

“Uh-I-well-you see”

“Yeah-not-well”

Linds finally got her words.

“Okay we are I guess but we arnt going to get married! I mean like people don’t do that until their 20!”

Impmon took my lead.

“Guys I’m your partner I can’t leave you, Plus I hate to say it but I guess you’re my family and yeah…” he muttered looking down.

“And I’m your step sister! Just because we, well like each other doesn’t mean we are going to ditch you guys!” she smiled. “Besides we came home to spend some time with you guys because we are kinda ignoring you. So what do you guys want to do well make it up to you?”

Ai and Mako exchanged evil looks and from then on Linds knew that there was no way of escaping the game that Ai and Mako were thinking of.

“You know how much I hate this.” Linds muttered to Impmon holding his hand while scratching her white wedding dress. Ai and Mako had the greatest idea of making them play wedding and guess who were the groom and bride? You’re correct if you guessed the two Digimon.

“Well at least your tail isn’t stuck in the pants.” Impmon muttered back as he heard Ai saying some stuff about living happily ever after.

“Okay you may kiss the bride.” Ai announced and Linds replied quickly.

“How about a peck on the cheek?” Linds evened with the twins as she pecked Impmon quietly and the twins laughed.

“Can we please get this stuff off now!” cried Impmon practically scratching at his clothes.

“Yeah sure go ahead.” Mako said while Impmon got out of the clothes in a flash.

“No offense but Tux’s arnt my thing.”

The blue Digimon agreed and suggested a movie. The perfect thing to put them asleep. We put in the Lion King and in 20 minutes they fell asleep.

“Let the movie going.” Linds said to him before jumping off the couch and went downstairs to my room. He followed.

“I’m going to bed.” she said but he nodded.

“Well I can’t sleep in my closet anymore ya know.”

It struck her like a lighting bolt. She forgot that in the morning that we would be human in the morning. Linds blushed and said he could sleep with her. He nodded and mumbled thanks.

Morning came and Ai and Mako were up and early as usual. They didn’t find the now couple on the couch so they went downstairs to Linds room to find the two cuddling each other on Linds bed. Snickering they jumped on the bed and told them to get up.

Ian looked at the clock, 8:25. He was so warm in the bed that he never wanted to get up.

“No more sleep.” He muttered as he shut his eyes. Linds didn’t even bother to open her eyes.

“You guys are no fun.” Said Ai as she walked out of the door Mako followed but attempted to take a 10 dollar bill.

“Take it and you’re getting a makeover!” mumbled Linds still having her eyes closed. Mako skulked and walked out of the room.

About ten minutes later the two were greeted once again by a loud horn sound. Linds screamed as well as Ian. After regaining their normal heart beat they turned to the twins who were laughing their heads off.

“I’ll give you 10 seconds to get a head start.” Linds said darkly. Ian did not want any part in this so he fell back down on the bed and closed his eyes. “One…two…nine…TEN!” for five minutes all you could hear is Ai and Mako screaming and feet pounding the whole house.

“Guys I’m sleeping!” Ian screamed throwing a pillow on his head. He should get up now so that they don’t come charging in. Throwing off the covers he jumped out of bed and decided he should change into one of the outfits Linds bought him. He picked out a black muscle shirt, baggy blue jeans and a red hoodie with an evil smiley face. Although he had to admit she was good at picking out the stuff that he liked.

As he was just about to put on his new shirt Linds came in and just like Ian yesterday stopped at looked at him.

“Oh I’m so sorry!” she cried covering her eyes. She couldn’t help but smile. He had a six pack! Oh this was such an ironic moment.

“Uh, its okay I guess.” He muttered putting his shirt on and then his hoodie. “I still don’t get why you always blush when this happens.” Linds sighed,

“Just because, besides I think I can trust you not to gawk at me while changing. She quickly threw off her top and bottoms and threw on pair of brown sweat pants, a black tank top and a white hoodie with his soccer team name on the back.

“Hey we haven’t told Mako and Ai’s parents about you have we?” Linds asked putting some makeup on.

“Do we have to? I mean they wont notice that much.”

“We were lucky that they didn’t come down here while we were sleeping. That would be a drama.”

God must have been listening to their discussion as a soft knock came from the door.

“Linds? Are you alright? We haven’t seen for a couple of days now and we are kinda worried.”

“I’m alright but we kinda have to talk.”

“Talk about what?” came Tai’s voice.

“Well, about Impmon.”

“What about him? Did he do something?”

“Well it was kinda me. You see a Digimon got him really bad and he was kinda going to die but I saved him by using my energy. And well the side effects are opposite from mine.”

The parents didn’t reply just opened the door and saw Ian. The two hugged him and ask him many questions.

“Oh are you alright?”

“Do you need anything?”

“Should we call the hospital?”

Linds finally got in.

“Guys, he’s alright. Just kinda confused on being a human that’s all I’ve been teaching him.”

“Well, alright we were going to also ask you if you guys wanted to go ice skating today?” they smiled as and explained that the temperature dropped a lot and the ice rink was ready.

“Ai and Mako are already getting dressed.” Said Marie but they heard a thump.

“Help!” came a muffled cry.

“I’ll go help them.” Linds said getting out of the room. Ian quickly thought of an excuse.

“I’ll go help too!” he ran after Linds who was already up the stairs.

“Thanks for getting us out of that one.” Linds said while helping Ai do up her coat. Ian started to help out Mako. Finally everyone was ready and had their skates. Linds dug deep and found her old Hockey skates which she never used for about once and took out her white skates and some duck tape.

“What’ with the duck tape, toots?” he asked standing behind her.

“I get pissed at the laces.” She simply replied as she walked out of the door. Spotting two I-pods on the counter Ian grabbed the two and followed out.

“Thanks” she said as she took the device and climbed in. Mako had to sit on Ian as they drove since the car could only carry 5 passengers.

“Can I listen?” Mako asked Ian.

“I don’t really think you can understand the lyrics.”

“Lyrics?”

“Words to the song, their in English.”

“I don’t care.”

Ian gave an ear phone to Mako who put it on and started to listen to the music and Linds offered an ear phone to Ai who nodded and put it in. Finally they reached their destination of an ice rink that was somewhat empty. Two couples and a couple of teens were skating around which was easy for the family to skate around in. Linds sat down on an empty bench and quietly put on her skates. She slipped the purple guards off and climbed on the ice. Slowly she started to skate but as soon as she was getting the hang on it she fell.

“Damn.” She muttered as Ian laughed somewhat harshly.

“I thought Canadians knew how to skate?”

The blonde scowled darkly and narrowed her eyes in a sneer. Quickly, she started again and was amazed at how good Ai and Mako were at skating. Even Tai and Marie were skating just like a natural hobby.

“How long did you guys skate?” stammered Linds gawking at them.

“Oh, about two years now. Ai and Mako just love skating.” Tai replied stopped in front of her. She couldn’t even stop herself unless she just fell. Linds turned to Ian who was just having enough trouble tying the strings together.

“How the hell do you put these on!” he cried in English. She guessed she didn’t want Ai and Mako know how to say bad words…yet.

“Hang on Ian God! You’re even worse then me when I get pissy.” I replied impatiently and tied his skates. She then got some duct tape and taped about two layers of the grey sticky material on the black skates.

Linds went on the ice once again and fell down as soon as she stepped on it. This caused Ian to fall into the snow and start to laugh.

Ai looked at her now beeping D Ark and gasped. Mako saw it too and looked around. The twins looked at Linds and Ian who were now fighting with each other.

“Don’t they sense a Digimon?” Ai whispered. Mako called out to them

“Guy’s there a Digimon coming!” he ran towards them but it was too late the fog was already here.

“Ai! Mako!” cried Ian jumping into the barrier. Linds skated towards Tai and Marie.

“You guys have to get out of here now!” she started to push them away but they grabbed her too.

“So do you. You and Ian arnt Digimon anymore and you can’t do anything.” Tai cried. Marie felt tears coming to her eyes.

“Ai! Mako where are you?” she called out but was gabbed by a green black whip. Shrieking, she struggled to get free but nothing worked.

“Ian! How are we going to do this?” Ai cried towards the older teen. He shook his head in disbelief.

“Oh c’mon why can’t I be a Digimon now?” he cried. He suddenly slipped and fell on the ice hard.

“Ian! Are you alright?” cried Mako but he was suddenly screaming as another green whip took him suddenly and pulled him away.

“MAKO!” Ian cried getting up suddenly but to his shock Ai was also being captured by the green whip.

“AI! NO IM NOT ALLOWING THIS!” he cried skating towards them. Suddenly Ai felt her D Ark glowing a bright light and she looked at Ian who was glowing. He shrank and the form of Impmon took place.

“Oh my god!” cried Linds who was skating as fast as she could beside the Digimon. “How did you do that?” she cried pushing her legs to skate towards the monster that they could see clearly. To their suspire it wasn’t a monster at all…or at least they thought it wasn’t.

“Henry?”

The boy with green whip like hands grinned an evil grin. His red eyes glowed brightly before speaking,

“Time to say goodbye to your Tamers!” the whips started to squeeze Ai, Mako, Marie, and Tai. Linds’ started to feel tears crawl down her cheeks. Why was she so helpless now?

“We don’t have time for this!” Impmon cried glowing once again and changing into Beelzemon and scratching with his claws at the Henry look alike. Ai and Mako because free and stood behind Beelzemon thinking of a plan.

Linds shouted some encouragement and skated over to Ai and Mako. She had no clue what to do. If there was a way that Beelzemon could be stronger…some kind of power…wait! The cards that Ai and Mako had.

“Guy you have any Digimon cards?” she smiled when Mako pulled out a couple of cards. “Well? Make him stronger, faster, something, anything!” Linds' arms were all over the place as Ai suggested a power up card.

“Dig modify!” cried Mako. He threw the card towards Ai as she swiped it with the purple D Ark. “Digi Power activate!”

Woah! Linds started to feel power building inside her and looked over a Beelzemon who fought strongly. Could the cards be affecting her also? She shouted to them.

“Quick! Use a Digivoultion Card. Don’t ask just do it please!” she called to them. If her theory was right then…the card was swiped…perfect! She was Digivolving!

“Hopemon!” she called out flying towards Beelzemon. “Need some help?”

“Yeah, could use some at the moment!” he called out shooting the whips but the simply dodged.

“Staff of Fate!” she called out bringing forth the grey staff and pointing it towards the creature. She smirked as she disappeared and reappeared behind it.

“Tricked you!” she giggled and shot the powerful blast behind it making the creature scream and drop the two adults. Swiftly she caught Tai as Beelzemon caught Marie.

“Linds?” Tai called out and Hopemon smiled.

“Open your eyes! I’m Hopemon silly!” she giggled as she sat him down on the snow outside the battlefield. Quickly she went back in and the two Digimon were now facing the Henry creature.

“Ai, Mako use another Digimon card will ya?” Beelzemon cried as the twins nodded.

“Dig modify…double impact attack activate!”

“Ready?” asked Beelzemon charging his Chrona Blaster while Hopemon got her Staff of Fate ready and nodded.

“Chrona Blaster!”

“Staff of Fate!”

The attack blew a huge hole in Henry’s stomach as it gurgled a scream and disappeared into blue wisps of smoke.

“That was weird.” Beelzemon said flying down. Suddenly he felt himself glowing again and turning back into a human.

The two teens were now sprawled on the ice tired from the battle.

“That.” Linds gasped for breath. “So…kicked ass.”

“Yeah it did but I got a few questions. For instance, why was that thing lookin like the blue haired kid, second how did we became Digimon and third why did it vanish in a puff of blue smoke like those stupid magic tricks.”

“I think we have some answers to that.” Came a low reply. The teens and twins turned around to find a familiar face but behind him was Takato, Rika, Henry, Kazu, Kenta, Ryo, Jeri a little girl around 6 and all of their Digimon.

“You again!” cried Ian as he clenched his fists and put the twins behind them. “What do you want? I thought we destroyed you!”

“Guys, he’s cool! He’s not the guy you fought!” Takato said stepping in front of Yamaki. The group behind him nodded.

“How can we trust this guy?” Linds growled standing into a fighting stance.

“Because I know all of your answers and who that copy of myself really was.” Yamaki said.

The two teens looked at each other and nodded.

“Alright we will go with you.” Linds agreed while Ian nodded.

“Were coming too!” cried Ai and Mako both gripping on the teens clothes.

“Sweetie you’re not going with them!” cried Tai attempting to pick up Ai but she refused and showed her D Ark.

“Were Ian’s tamers and we can’t leave with out him!” Mako said coming beside Ai. Ian nodded while Linds offered to have Ai and Mako’s parents tag along.

“Well that would make all of the grown ups now.” Henry said turned behind him to find a group of adults waiting near several vehicles.

“Something tells me that this was planned awhile ago.” Linds said to Yamaki.

“C’mon I’ll give you the information along the way to Hypnosis head quarters.” Yamaki said. Ian and Linds nodded and they started to walk towards the black limo waiting for them.

“We will take the car with us and follow you.” Tai said to Yamaki who nodded in agreement.

Linds, Ian, Ai, Mako, Takato, Gulimon, Rika, Renamon, Henry, Terrimon, the girl who was called Suzie, her digimon Lopmon and Yamaki were all in the back part of the limo listening to the blonde’s speech.

“It seems that we haven’t destroyed the D-Reaper completely.” He began. This caused loud uproars from everyone.

“What do you mean?”

“We sucked it in a friggin vortex!”

“We had to sacrifice our Digimon.”

“And our friends!”

Yamaki held up a hand for everyone to calm down. Soon everyone became quiet.

“We have but a slip of data code began to form in the Digital world and it infected a Digimon. I think we know this one.” He showed a picture of the Digimon that nearly killed Linds.

“Me? So I became infected.” Linds nodded slowly and put her head into her hands.

“Exactly but it started to load your memories and leave you but it duplicated so that a piece of the D-Reaper was still in you. It must have collected a memory of seeing me or an organization like us and made a Digital copy of that portraying your fears and such.

“So I created it?”

“Not exactly. It also spread to other people and copy their information. I don’t need to say what the D- Reaper program was designed to do.”

“Destroy information that evolved too much right?” Jeri said and Yamaki nodded.

“Well instead of that it seems to be have added a program to itself again…sort of like a-“

“Biomerge.” Breathed Rika crossing her arms and putting a leg on top of another. “And this idea came from us because we Biomerged so many times.”

“Precisely. We have not identified the program that it Biomerged with but it seems to have to so something to do with downloaded human memories and personalities. Even their physical appearance.”

Linds started to create an idea of what program could have the same qualities. Wait…SIMS!

“Sims!” she said loudly. Everyone looked at her.

“A possibility we have named several character making programs but none seem to match quite right. But our lead guess is Sims.”

“Okay Mr.” Ai said as Yamaki gazed at her. “Why did Linds and Ian change into their Digimon form. It wasn’t dark outside.”

“Well, I think ‘Ian’ here changed because he was your partner but with Linds here I’m stumped. You’re full of mysteries to the creators of Digimon.”

“I am?”

“Well think about it, a half human and half Digimon isn’t normal even with a Biomerge and now you can just suddenly change by the swipe of Ai and Mako’s cards. It almost seems that you’re their partner but it doesn’t make much sense at all.”

The car suddenly stopped and the group followed Yamaki into the building as well as the adults. After a few flights of stairs, several automatic doors and a long hall they came into a room with several people in it.

“Welcome back Yamaki.” Said a blue haired man with glasses. Linds thought that he almost looked like Henry but maybe that was his dad.

“Hey daddy!” cried Suzie hugging the man as he chuckled. “Hey princess.”

The man turned to Linds.

“And you must be Lindsay Rose or should I say Ramen now. I’m John Wong”

They exchanged polite hand shakes and Linds muttered about him calling her ‘Linds’.

“Whatever suits you.” He smiled and introduced the blonde teen to other creators but one stuck them out the most. A man almost looking like Jesus smiled and shook her hand with a tight grip.

“Pleasure to meet you Linds.” Shubimi smiled and took a pen and wrote something down. “I’m amazed that you are actually half a Digimon. If you don’t mind we would like to run a few tests on you and Impmon or should I say Ian now.

“You got that right Jesus.” Smirked Ian. Linds elbowed him but couldn’t help but smirking. Others drew a completely blank face.

“Christian joke.” Linds explained as she was leaded by several girls to one room and several guys to another.

“Where are they going?” Ai asked to Henry’s dad. He smiled and knelt down.

“They just have to do a few tests so that we can understand about them. Don’t worry we are not going to hurt them.”

“Okay take a deep breath.” The woman Daisy said to Linds as she felt cold metal pressed against her chest. After a few minutes of other tests to check her eye sight, reflexes and others they took out a needle. Linds gulped. She hated needles they always made her woosy.

“Take a deep breath and close you eyes.” Daisy instructed “So I heard you play soccer what position.”

“Goalie” Linds responded feeling the prick of the needle. “Is Ian getting the same thing?”

“Yeah, don’t worry he’ll be fine.”

“I guess.” She replied as she felt Daisy put a band aid on the spot where the needle was taking her blood.

“Okay your free.” She smiled and said I did a good job. Linds suddenly heard Ian mumbling a stupid humans remark and a door opening and close.

“You okay?” Linds asked Ian who shrugged.

“Stupid needle hurt like hell. Why did we even agree to be tested like gerbils?”

“Would you like for them to have no clue on how to get rid of this D-Reaper thing?” she replied coldly before walking towards the group. God, it scared him a little when she acted to cold on subjects like this. Although he would never admit that, never.

“Linds! Ian your okay!” the twins hugged the two and they hugged back.

“Yeah, I’m fine guys.” Ian said ruffling Mako’s hair. He laughed and the two ran towards Suzie who grown fond of them.

“Okay I’m looking at the Chromosomes right now.” A person said typing a few codes and the computer screen was filled with two pictures. “The one on the right is Linds, while the other is Ian. As you can tell several nitrogen bases were replaced with digital code creating that hybrid title. It was amazing they actually fit though or else you would be suffering from being a human with a tail or ears.” The man laughed a little before clicking some more but the rest was more directed to Yamaki and other adults.

For the next 4 hours the adults and occasionally Linds and Ian were informed on the little things such as the DNA theories but they didn’t really pay attention. They were dragged into Ai, Mako, and Suzie’s game of hide and seek. They smiled and agreed of course they would start complaining if they didn’t. It was Linds turn to find everyone and sure enough she found Ian standing behind her.

“Wow do you even know how to play the game?” Linds asked smiling. He shrugged and said he was playing at least. In minutes he found Ai, Mako, and Suzie hiding under a desk.

“You better be careful under there you could pull a cord.” She said helping the young children to get up. “Me and Ian are tired so I’m afraid that we have to cut the game short.”

“It’s Ian and I.” corrected Mako, “and we want to play some more or else we will spill the secret between you and Ian.” Linds face paled and sighed. “Alright who is up for Simon says?”

An hour passed and the kids finally grew tired and fell asleep on a couch while the teens were perched on a wall but Ian was looking at the window showing a wide view of the city. Something caught his eye.

“Guys, I don’t know how to explain this but…one of the Soverans is here.”

“What?!” cried Takato as he looked out of the window and sure enough the fiery bird Zequhimon was flying towards the building.

“We have to go!” cried Linds running out of the door as everyone else followed expect the adults who stood amazed at the size of the Digimon.

“Sir we just had a bio-oh never mind.” Called one of the ladies nearly dropping to her knees in awe.

“Hello again children.” He called out landing.

“Where’s everyone else?” called Henry.

“They decided to wait while I pick up the new half Digimon. We have a small task for her in the Digital world. Ah, there you are.” He looked at Linds who gave a small whimper at his powerful stance. “We need to ask you a few questions and help us out since this creature started to attack the digital world.” With a flap of his fiery wing an image of the evil Linds appeared.

“I thought I destroyed her!” Linds cried clenching her fists.

“And unfortunately she wasn’t stopped and started to attack our world. We need your help or else your world may be affected too!”

“I hate to say it bird brain but it already begun.” Ian said stepping in front of the group. Lopmon protested a sorry for his mocking.

“It’s alright Lopmon. I know his attitude and he still seems childish as a human.”

“Yeah, I’m a human got a problem with that? Or are you just jealous that your still a Digimon?” he replied hotly but looked over at Linds who glared. He shut his mouth right then.

“But why me?” Linds asked confused.

“You’re not like others. In a sense you are somewhat like the D-Reaper program neither Digimon nor Human. I assume the conditions apply to Impmon here.

“Ian” he replied glaring and recovering from a slight twitch in his eye.

“Right, but you may have the power to stop it since you are just like it.”

Linds sighed and held her head down low. Things are not going to end. But she knew that she needed to do this. She had a power that no one else had. Correction Ian had that power but and he can help her. She had strong hope and nodded her head and agreed.

“What are you crazy toots?” Ian shook Linds but the green eyed girl shook her head.

“I can do this and if we get rid of the core it will be simple to destroy what is on Earth.”

Ian knew she was right and he had to help too. If he didn’t then she would be toast. He replied with I’m coming with you.

“We are too!” Ai and Mako said coming to Ian and Linds' side. Before Linds or Ian could retort Mako held out the purple D-Ark.

“And don’t forget about us!” cried Takato putting a hand on his hip. Everyone else nodded.

“But what happens if a Biomerge happened here?” Linds said narrowing her eyes. The next minutes were spent dividing the group to two teams. First team was the group going into the Digital world. Linds, Ian, Ai, Mako, Takato, Gulimon, Henry, Terrimon, Suzie, and Lopmon were all going to Digital world. Several arguments were made about Suzie going but they would probability need Lopmon’s help. The second team was Ryo, Cyberdramon, Kazu, Gaurdrmon, Kenta, Marineangelmon, Jeri, Calumon, Rika and Renamon.

“We will be back soon!” cried Linds who was waving at the group who was staying behind. They waved and shouted good lucks but before the Sovern was going to take fight the Jesus man shouted to Linds from a window. A red card was coming her way and she caught it barely. Before asking what it was, Zequhimon took flight and a portal to the Digital world opened and they flew through.

Linds looked at herself and she saw that she was in her Digital form and saw that Ian had turned into Impmon. She wondered out loud why she changed.

“Probability you’re in the Digital world.” The fiery bird replied landing at his head quarters. She saw that three other powerful Digimon were waiting for her. One a tiger-like Digimon, another was a two headed turtle, and the last one looked like a Chinese dragon.

“Here she is.” She stepped forward to face the great Soverans.

“Just like Impmon…”

“Small but I sense power in this one…”

“The little lass looks like she can handle a good fight.”

“I agree.”

“Uh, hello Soverans. I’m here to help.” She called out and took a small bow.

“Thank you Lindsay. Our problem at the moment is that two creatures that look like Impmon’s tamers are creating havoc in the south part of the digital world. We think you can defeat it since all it does with our attacks is absorb them.” Said the dragon Digimon.

“I’m seeing a pattern.” Said Takato suddenly. “First Lindsay, then Henry, now Ai and Mako. Is the program making copies of each of us?”

The turtle Digimon nodded and knew there were many more to come.

“So I guess it’s off to the south part of the Digital world.” Henry said.

“There are copies of us?” Mako asked pointing to himself and Ai. Impmon shrugged.

“I guess there is.” He sighed and started to wonder about what was going to happen. Was Ai and Mako going to be alright? Nah! They would be fine. They are tougher than a pack of killer mobs!

“Impmon! C’mon we have to save the Digital world!” Ai cried tugging no Impmon’s bandana. He snapped out of his thoughts and nodded and smiled his trademark evil smile. Linds did the same and said they were going to cream the stupid programs.

“Good luck.” Called out the tiger Digimon.

“Biomerge time!” called out Takato while Henry nodded. In a flash Gallatramon and Megagargluemon were standing and started to fly.

“Lopmon!” Suzie cried as her digimon turned into Antlimon. She climbed on her and started to take off.

Impmon started to glow and turn into Beelzemon but with out his wings. He whistled loudly and then a motorbike came before him.

“Man, I missed you.” He told Ai, Mako to hop on and looked at Linds. She smiled and turned into Ladydevimon. The whole group started to take off for south of the Digital world, which was going to be quite a trip.

“They’re gone!” cried Marie sobbing on the floor in a heap. Tai put a hand on her shoulder and comforted her. The other Tamers just stood there uncomfortable to the adult’s reactions.

“Are we going to see them again?” asked Takato’s parents. Rika nodded and reassured everyone that they will be alright. Suddenly a lady called to Yamaki.

“Something’s Biomerging but it’s not a Digimon!” she called out.

“What is it?” He clicked his lighter in nervousness as she lady replied

“Something from D-Reaper I can assure you that.”

“We have to go.” Ryo said as he and Cyberdramon started to leave. Soon everyone started to leave while the parents stood there quietly worrying about their children.

“Are they going to be alright?” asked Tai to the other adults.

“They did this before, we can trust them. Also where is Lindsay’s family?”

“They didn’t accept her.” Marie said quietly tears still streaking down. Everyone looked down in pity for the half girl. They were so wrapped into their own children they didn’t even notice that Lindsay’s family wasn’t even there to love her and accept her for who she is.

“Alright where is it?” asked Kenta looking around in the fog. Everyone shrugged but saw a look alike of Kenta but different. This one had slicked back hair and sharp red eyes without glasses. His attire was torn and dirty as if he was in a huge battle with some monster but they noticed that he had small blue horns and tail.

“Biomerge time!” shouted Rika and Ryo nodded. This was going to be a long battle and they knew it.


“Finally were here!” cried Ladydevimon as she saw the boundary to the South of the Digital world.

“And I think that’s them!” Antlimon called pointing to two children waiting for them with devilish smirks. Ai and Mako gasped at the sight of them. They were just like them but only with red eyes and claw like feet.

“Get ready because this is going to be one heck of a battle!” Beelzemon cried taking out his guns and started to shoot at the two. Ladydevimon unleashed her Whip of Kindness; everyone else used their most powerful attacks. It hit them directly but only Beelzemon’s bullets seemed to cause damage but they didn’t flinch or anything.

“I think I’m ready to Digivolve again!” Ladydevimon called out to Ai and Mako. They looked through their pockets and to their complete surprise they didn’t have any Digivoultion cards.

“I got one!” called Henry but he was too late as Ladydevimon was suddenly kicked back by evil Ai.

“Swipe it now just swipe it yourself!”

“Digi-modify! Matrix Digivoultion activate!”

It worked! Ladydevimon started to glow and Ai and Mako smiled in hope. Actually everyone felt more hopeful. Beelzemon assumed it was one of Hopmon’s powers.

“Ladydevimon digivolve to…Hopemon!” the child like Digimon giggled as Ai and Mako charged at her. She teleported behind them.

“Staff of Fate!” she cried blasting one. It was evil Mako’s turn to giggle.

“Missed.” He called out and started to fly suddenly with out any wings. Hopemon gasped as she was punched down. She frowned and started to fly difficult patterns as evil Mako and Ai started to follow.

“Beelzemon! Start shooting!” Hopemon called to the biker Digimon. He took out his guns and stated to the shoot the two but they dodged it gracefully.

“Shield of the Just!” called out Gallatramon as he held up his shield and blasted an energy beam towards Ai. She was hit! Suzie smiled and laughed,

“Yes! She’s down!” Suzie met red eyes and found that evil Ai was in front of her. Suddenly she was looking at her bedroom door. She was in her room and it was dark. A creak disturbed her from speaking as red eyes glowed from the closet. A pair of dark claw like hands started to sprout from under her small bed and enclose around the poor little girl and she started to scream,

“HENRY! LOPMON!”

“What’s wrong with Suzie?” asked Mako towards Ai. She was about to answer but she was in bitch blackness and looked around. Nothing just pitch black.

“Mako?” she whispered as her big brown eyes started to fill with tears. She hated the dark and hated being alone. Nothing replied her and everything was silent.

“Someone help!” she called tumbling to the ground and sobbing.

“Ai!” called Mako who was suddenly in a church. A gothic church to be exact with its statures staring at Mako who grew very afraid. He suddenly jumped at the noise of thunder and ducked under a pew. He feared lightening more than anything else and why wasn’t Ai or anyone else? Ai…where was she? Was she alright? Thoughts were disturbed by the crackling sound of thunder.

“What’s happening to them?” asked Henry towards Gallatramon. The knight was looking at the children as they were acting very strange. Suzie was covering her bodies and screaming for help. Ai was on the ground yelling for someone, and Mako was covering his ears and screaming.

Takato suddenly felt himself break from Gulimon and he saw that they were facing each other.

“Where are we Takatomon?”

“I dunno boy.”

Suddenly he saw Gulimon being taken into a car by faceless figures and iron bars locked around the Dinosaur Digimon. Takato felt powerless as he was being carried away.

“Gulimon! No!” he called out running for him and holding out his hand.

Gulimon saw Takato looking harsh at him and having his back turned.

“Takatomon what did I do wrong?”

“I hate you!” he cried turning away from the Digimon. “I wish you just simply be destroyed.”

“No! You don’t mean that!” Gulimon cried putting his head down.

“Their picking us off!” called Beelzemon but he too was surrounded in darkness as a picture of an eye appeared. It started to talk with a voice like Jeri.

“Beelzemon, a mega Digimon that killed Leomon. That killed Leomon. That killed Leomon.” The voice repeated as Beelzemon’s eyes grew wide.

“Stop it! Shut up! SHUT UP!” he roared taking out his gun but it wasn’t there.

“That killed Leomon.” It kept repeating it as Beelzemon was drove to the ground.

“What’s happening Hopemon?” called out Megagargluemon but he felt himself separating and everything going black for them too.

Terrimon stood in his tracks when he saw a big house with several zombie-like creatures around it. On the trees was Henry, Suzie, Lopmon and others all dead and staring at him.

“Momentai, Momentai.” He whispered taking a step forward but the zombie creatures twitched sending him back several steps. He was stuck!

Henry saw Terrimon being destroyed and his data being loaded. Everything stopped for Henry as he ran to where Terrimon was.

“No…Terrimon please come back.” He whispered as he turned around. He saw his family disappear the same as Terrimon.

“Please come back!” he whispered as he felt himself wrapping his arms around him. He was alone and his family was gone…what was he going to do?

Hopemon found herself alone as she heard everyone screaming something. Were they stuck in their minds? What had evil Ai and Mako done?

“You’re not going to get away with this.” She said punching Ai and blocking a kick from Mako. They just giggled and evil Ai started to speak,

“We already have. They are stuck in their fears forever and there is nothing you can do about it.” The twins shrieked with an insane laughed as Hopemon flinched and frowned.

“What does the D-Reaper want?”

“She’s not the D-Reaper anymore. She is now called Cybernet and she wants you and the Tamers destroyed as well as all life form and data that had evolved over their capacities. She also understands how you humans, think, feel and act and created us her Agents to stop you.” Ai said in a robotic tone but it had a hint of awe in it. “Our master will be pleased to find you dead.”

“I’m afraid I have to stop you nether less and I will save my friends.”

Hopemon looked at Ai and widened her eyes. Where was Mako? Her answer was her vision fading and falling to the ground was the last thing she saw.

Linds woke up suddenly in pitch blackness. She was in her mind and she knew it.

“Just have hope Linds.” She whispered to herself as she took several deep breaths and calmed herself down. Slowly she found her cross necklace and held it tight. After taking a few steps she saw a house. Her house was staring at her just like before. She opened the door to find her family standing there with smiles on their faces.

“Merry Christmas!” they chimed. The blonde haired girl couldn’t comprehend on what to say. Should she go near them or just stay put? The fact that this was all in her head left her and she walked towards her. Suddenly she felt herself change into her Digimon form that looked like Impmon.

“Who are you? What have you don’t with my Lindsay?” cried her mother. She looked up and gasped. They rejected her still! Why? She turned to her farther.

“Your not my daughter.” He said harshly and started to leave. She threw out her hand.

“Please don’t go! Don’t leave me here!” she called out and they kept on walking. She turned around and saw her Uncle dead with those lifeless eyes.

“I should have stayed home but no I had to go find you and die! My death was your fault and you know it!”

Linds shrieked and tears sprung from her eyes. “Please I’m sorry!”

“Sorry? You’re not sorry for destroying those people.” came Takato and all of her friends. Impmon was no where to be found. She couldn’t handle all of this!

“Linds, have hope!” came a calm voice she turned to find herself looking at…herself. Well, Hopemon at least.

“Don’t worry! Just have hope and face your fears!” she smiled and faded. Linds nodded and squeezed her eyes shut.

“I’m not afraid of rejection anymore! I have a family and friends and I even have a love!”

Hopemon gasped for breath once again and sat up from the ground. She was back here again and saw that Ai and Mako were charging up a blast. With her reflexes she rolled away but suffered from the shock of the blast and landed beside real Ai who was still crying.

“Ai, don’t be afraid! Face your fear! Have hope please!” Hopemon put a hand on her forehead and repeated for her to be brave.

Ai found herself hearing Hopemon’s voice and stood up. She was tired of being afraid.

“I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid!” she repeated and felt a relieving sensation before she opened her eyes. She was looking at the sky and Hopemon who smiled.

“I knew you could do it. Help me with the others.” The two worked fast as Hopemon went to Suzie.

“Suzie, don’t be afraid. Stand up to you fear!”

Suzie squeaked as the dark hands gripped around her and tightened. Hopemon’s voice suddenly echoed when she was about to give up.

“Go away big meanies. I’m not afraid of you anymore!” she struggled and fought back in anger until they wisped away. The same sensation filled her as she felt more brave and ready to fight again.

Mako heard Ai’s voice and nodded. Quietly he climbed out of the pew and stood strong as the thunder echoed through the church.

“Is that all you got?” he cried out smirking.

Pretty soon all that was left was Beelzemon who was struggling with his fear.

“SHUT UP!”

“Killed Leomon…”

“Beelzemon! Don’t be afraid! Have hope and fight it. I know you can do it!”

“That voice…” Beelzemon looked above him and stood there with wide eyes. “Don’t be afraid huh? Well aint gotta say that twice!”

“Killed Leomon…”

“Pft, is that all ya got? You aint dong a good job of scaring me anymore and I think it’s time for you to shut up.”

Beelzemon smirked as everything grew bright and he opened his eyes to find everyone looking down on him.

“I like this moment as much as you do but THEY’RE ABOUT TO ATTACK!” cried Terrimon pointing at the evil agents who were charging a large black energy blast.

“Ready guys?” Hopemon asked to Ai and Mako they nodded.

“Dig modify! Onimon’s Power activate!”

“Better get this right!” Beelzemon said as he and Hopemon flew straight towards the evil twins with power flowing through their veins.

“Staff of Fate!”

“Chrona Destroyer!”

The two attacks swirled together in a contrast of yellow and dark purple bright light and battled with the dark energy that the twins threw. Sure enough good won over evil and the blast engulfed the two evil twins and they turned into two wisps of blue smoke and disappeared.

Everyone was silent but soon enough Hopemon broke the silence.

“OH YAH! BURN! TOATAL BURN.” She shouted throwing her arms in the air and doing a dance while turning back into her Digimon self. She skipped in the air with complete joy. “Go Linds it’s your birthday! Shake it oh yah shake it!”

“Okay Linds we won whoopee do now we gotta face all of the others and if I’m correct there are about eight, nine at least if not more.”

Linds frowned and sighed, Beelzemon was right and she knew it but why not celebrate. A victory in the Digital World was pretty good for her but not for everyone else.

“You expect so much from yourselves! I mean we like defeated them and like yeah! I’m sorry for sounding so blonde at the moment but I kinda think this is a good time to rest because Ai, Mako, and Suzie…and apparently Gulimon are asleep.”

Sure enough half of the group was asleep snoring away. Ai muttered something about being a princess while Mako muttered on about a videogame he had.

“Alright, alright fine ya win happy?” Beelzemon asked but he suddenly felt her climb on his shoulder and give him a peck on his lips. Linds jumped down as a low snicker could be heard from the boys who were hunched over from laughing too loudly.

“Now I am.” She replied walking over to the nearby forest and climbed up a tee. She had noticed it during the battle and thought of this as a good place to sleep. She saw that it was already night time and from the sky she could see what appeared to be the real world. Bright lights shone from the dark sky and she assumed they were stars.

“It’s beautiful” she whispered to herself.

“Yeah, I know.” Came a voice and she saw Impmon landing on a branch above her. “It was pretty cool the first time I saw it too.”

“Reminds me back home in Canada.” She said sighing. “God, I miss it there. Me and my friends would be probability screwing around with the guys.”

“Screwing around?”

“Movies, drinking, occasional whip of crack. It was the life of a teen. I guess we did it because we wanted to feel life at it’s fullest. Back in High School I was one of the smartest girls there in the grade! Now I’m in some special exchange program to get me caught up. And my family…well, my family is enjoying themselves with out me.”

“That was pretty mean of your folks to do that to ya.” Mumbled the imp like Digimon closing his eyes.

“Mean yes but I really think they need some time to themselves to cope with it. I mean they are good people in heart when you finally get to know them. I think they were scared of me being someone completely different.” A thought came across the blue Digimon and she snorted.

“What?” Impmon demanded as he looked down.

“Oh just some naive moments like when I used to think where babies came from and what a good solution to getting rid a teacher I didn’t like.”

“Don’t babies come from the mom’s closet?”

This statement from Impmon made Linds burst out into uncontrollable laugher. She couldn’t believe what Mako and Ai were teaching him.

“Oh god Impmon, you have to stop listening to them about this kind of stuff.”

“So? Where did you think babies come from?”

“Well if a guy and girl kissed their saliva would exchange and when the female’s saliva reached the stomach the baby would form!”

“Ew! That just gross!”

“Well, when I stated it to my Grade 5 teacher he said I had one of the closest theories that he had ever heard.”

“So where do they come from?”

This question made Linds blush madly. She can’t tell him! God it was so disturbing hearing it about 5 times. Three from her teachers and twice from her parents telling her about safe sex! She shuddered at the talks.

“They come from girls like me.” She wasn’t going to say anything more than that. “That’s all I’m telling you for now.”

“Okay and what about your teacher? How did you deal with them?”

Linds laughed and told him an adventurous story about her and the class making a petition and a small request about the serious complications that the teacher had such as her speaking with a heavy accent and making it difficult to understand her.

“So ya were a bad ass eh?”

“Ya can say that. It was me and-” she stopped suddenly at the other person’s name. Ethan Colons one of my best friends but the D-Reaper struck Niagara Falls and he was killed by it. A clear cut picture of him stood out in her mind. His dark brown hair in wavy locks and his dark blue eyes, his dark skin that made herself and him somewhat opposites.

“Who?”

“Ethan Colons he was really good friend of mine.” she whispered feeling tears coming to her eyes. “We were friends since Ai and Mako’s age.”

“Was?” Impmon asked lightly.

“He died while D-Reaper attacked. Saved some kids life.”

“Oh sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

“Don’t be sorry I’m over that he would have wanted me to be happy. And here I am on a quest to save the world! Me saving the world! This is better than some soccer game!”

Impmon and Linds chatted for what seemed the longest time about anything they could think about. Finally sleep captured the two and they fell asleep looking at the digital stars.



“Justimon!” called out Kazu as the Digimon fell the ground in a heap. Suddenly he saw his Digimon, Gaurdrmon being picked up by the evil Kenta and its grip grew stronger.

“Gaurdrmon! You can do this dude!” Kazu called as he picked up a card. With out notice he swiped it and if you were looking at the card closely it was a blue card.

Everything and everyone seemed to stop with Kazu as he slowly saw Calumon’s symbol glow red and his digimon glowing ready to Digivolve.

“Gaurdrmon digivolve to….Andramon!”

The now silver robot grabbed evil Kenta’s head and threw him to the ground.

“Wow! Dude that is so cool!”

“Why thank you Kazu! Now time to finish this guy!” Andramon flew several missiles while Marineangelmon used his Heart Attack to damage evil Kenta badly.

“Justimon! Sykuamon! C’mon get up! We got him!” yelled Kazu rushing to the two Digimon. They got up slowly and started to charge up their attacks.

With a loud snicker the Digimon went away in a puff of blue smoke. “You shall not get away with this. Master will be here soon.”

“What does he mean by that?” Rika asked standing beside Renamon looked at the others. Kazu shrugged,

“Who gives? Andramon Digivolved! That was so awesome!” Kazu started to imitate Andramon’s moves and added several things such as Rika being the damsel in distress. This didn’t last too long because once Rika found out about her being the distressed damsel she gave Kazu a hard head punch.

“Ouch that hurts you know.” He muttered rubbing his head in attempt to soothe the pain.

“I hope the others are okay.” Chimed in Kazu looking to the sky in worry. The others nodded and looked up until Ryo broke the silence.

“I think we should go visit our parents since they are probability bawling on the floor by now.”

Rika nodded and started to walk home along with Kazu, Kenta, Andramon, and Marineangelmon.

“Where’s Gaurdrmon Kazu?” asked a woman around her 40’s as she saw her son walk in with a silver machine like Digimon.

“Uh, he’s here and it’s Andramon now.”

The woman’s look was priceless look of shock as the farther grew pale.

“Yeah I no he’s really tall but I think he can still fit in the house.”

Andramon bowed deeply and started to talk,

“I’m sorry if there are any problems. I only Digivolved to save Kazu.”

This made Kazu’s mom snap out of it.

“Oh it’s not a problem please; I do believe you can still fit into the house.”

“If not he can go live in Gulimon’s hideout.” Laughed Kazu thinking of the small, cage home that Gulimon lived in.



Back in the Digital World everyone sighed. It had felt like years since they started to travel to stop any of the agents of Cybernet as she would like to be called. They had asked several Digimon about any strange happenings but there was none.

It was about an hour after asking a bunch of Koromon’s and they had no luck. They were passing through a desert and saw what somewhat scared them.

“A stadium.” Whispered Linds gripping Mako’s waist who gripped Ai’s waist who was holding on to Beelzemon as he stopped his bike.

“What’s a stadium doin here?” he muttered calling out to the others. “Hey guys get a look at this will ya?”

“What is it now? It better not be another Koromon village.” Moaned Takato riding on Growlmon’s back. Henry and Terrimon nodded.

“Are we there yet?” asked Suzie to Antlimon who shook her head,

“Not yet Suzie.”

“Nah, it’s a stadium. I think we should check out since it’s just standing out there in the open suspiciously.” Linds chimed in.

“Fine but only a quick peak.” Henry agreed while Growlmon started to march for the Stadium. Beelzemon gave a heads up to Ai, Mako, and Linds before roaring up the bike and heading towards the old stadium.

“Wow this looks like the Greek like stadium.” called Linds as she ran inside looking around.

“It seems safe enough.” Said Takato with a blank face. Henry looked around expecting some sort of ambush. None came after several minutes and the twins were already on the other side of the whole stadium. Linds was at their side keeping an eye on them while Beelzemon drove his bike across the field. He frowned at the lines. They were almost like the soccer field that Linds plays on.

“Linds! Have ya checked out the field?” Beelzemon yelled. Linds looked down and shrugged.

“I noticed but so what? It’s not like there is a ball-wait a minute.” She said staring at the seats behind Beelzemon. “Why is there a ball suspiciously bouncing behind you?”

Everyone stared at the ball. It was simple black and white soccer ball that was simply bouncing until it started to bounce towards the middle of the field and suddenly stopped on the centre dot.

“Alrighty then,” said Linds grabbing Mako and Ai’s hand and leading them down towards the field. Stepping on the ground made her feel like she was going to play the game.

“What’s a soccer ball doing here?” asked Henry staring down at it. Suzie asked if she could play with the ball but I told her no.

“Don’t you see something like this happens in certain movies. We touch it and before you know it half of us are like dead or something. I suggest we get out of here now.”

“I don’t like this either. C’mon Ai, Mako lets get out of here.”

The rest of the group marched to the field no longer thinking about the simple ball. Suzie tugged Henry.

“Linds doesn’t really mean that we will die right?”

Henry chuckled,

“Linds is just exaggering but I would stay away from that ball. It looks too suspicious.

Linds muttered something about it did really happen in a movie but no one really heard it. She suddenly stopped abruptly and step back. Ai, Mako and Beelzemon did the same.

“Hey what gives?” he grunted walking into it again but it stopped him.

“Let us out!” cried Ai bashing the wall. Everyone noticed and started to do the same.

“I don’t think it’s listening!” said Beelzemon as he stepped back and took out its gun. “So let’s knock a little louder!”

“This would be an advisable time for everyone to stand back.” Linds said grabbing Mako and Ai before Beelzemon started to shoot. As if the wall was water the bullets went through the wall and went into the far off distance.

“I don’t think its working!” Growlmon said scratching his head.

“No really?” Linds said. “Badaboom!”

“That won’t work either!” called a voice. It seemed normal but it had a bit of an accent. British maybe but when the group turned around they found themselves facing a little girl around six. She had long black hair covering her face but she was wearing what Suzie was wearing.

“Oh snap! It’s Samara!” The blue Impmon cried taking a frightful step back.

“I think that’s one of the agents Linds.” Said Mako calmly. She nodded dumbly but she was still somewhat scared of the character from the horror movie.

“You must play a game to get out!” the creature called walking towards them as several blue smoke like creatures followed her. The others took a step back until they were pressed against the walls. “And there are rules to follow.”

“Rules? What do ya mean rules?” asked Beelzemon cocking his gun and aiming at her. She pointed her slim finger at Beelzemon and next thing he knew he was back to his rookie form.

“Why I outta! What’s going on why cant I Digivolve?” Impmon look at himself and stood in front of Ai and Mako. “I can still beat you blindfolded!”

“Quite.” She whispered back pointing to Growlmon who turned back into Gulimon, soon everyone was in rookie form. Ai and Mako were banging on the wall screaming their hearts out.

“I want you to play a soccer game against me and my friends. If you win you can go but if you loose, you will have to play with me forever!” she started to laugh and skip around the ball. Her hair started to get more lighter until it was a deep pink with light curls. Her eyes stayed the same but her outfit turned into a dark pink soccer shirt with pink and white shorts. Her bare feet were now light pink soccer shoes with black socks and visible shin pads that were supposedly pink.

“A soccer game eh?” asked Linds smirking an evil smirk just like Impmon. “Oh you picked the so wrong game.”

“It doesn’t look like we have much of a choice.” Henry said pounding the wall again for a last hope. God didn’t answer and he turned around to Linds.

“I’ll give you two minutes. Good luck and remember no hands!” she left along with the other creatures behind her dazzling the group for a few seconds. Linds shook her head and sighed.

“Okay lets see how many are here…ten so who wants off? We can only have nine players max on the field.”

“I want Suzie off.” Henry said. Linds nodded and understood Henry’s protection for his sister. After all she had grown to protect Ai and Mako like they were her own siblings.

“Ai, Mako you okay being on?” The Digimon looked up at the twins who nodded. “Okay how about you play midfield along with Impmon. Henry and Terrimon, and Lopmon can play defense. Takato, Gulimon you guys play forward. And I will be the keeper everyone knows how to play right?”

Some nodded others shrugged while Ai, Mako and Impmon smirked. Linds taught them pretty much everything they knew and they were quite well at the game now so they were no match for the other team.

“Takatomon how do you play soccer?” Takato was about to answer but suddenly everyone was in their positions with blue soccer shirts and blue and black shorts. They were slightly baggy so they could feel the soft air that blew. On the other side evil Suzie was the forward with robed figures at every other position. They wore the same uniform as the evil agent. Everything was quiet until a whistle blew from no where.

“Team blue ball start!”

Takato took this as he que and passed the ball to Gulimon who picked it up.

“Is this- AHH!” he started to be electrucited by the ball and dropped it as fast as he could. However this gave the other team a chance to steal the ball. They were about to weave through Ai but Mako suddenly caught the ball.

“Mako!”

The ball passed to Ai’s feet and she weaved through one of the robbed figures.

“Ai!”

The passing pattern contuined until they were facing the goalie who quickly scooped the ball up effortlessly.

“Good try guys! Hey pineapple head get back in the game will ya?” Impmon shouted head butting the ball to Takato who started to run with the ball but the figure took it out of his feet and sped down the field with it. It passed before Impmon could get it and before they knew it they were getting ready to shoot on Linds.

Snap, thought Linds as she got ready to pick a side. These guys were quick and knew how to handle the ball effortlessly. The ball flew and Linds chose left. It soared the opposite way and landed right into the net. As Linds landed on the ground she felt elecrtictiy run through her body and she screamed as loud as she could. It seemed forever until the pain stopped and she fell limb. Looking up she found everyone else expect Suzie on the ground twitching.

“Oh my god. Guys are you alright? Please be okay please!” she went over to Ai who opened her eyes.

“Linds, that hurt a lot.”

“We have to be careful from now on. A goal scored on us can mean a painful shock.” Linds called out to everyone who sat up slowly. She glared daggers at the evil Suzie who was laughing and smiling. It was disgusting this torchure. The ball rolled back to the middle and the invisible whistle sounded. Time to start again as Takato passed back to Mako.

Linds looked up at the scoreboard which read 1-0 with only 10:00 minutes on the clock left. But an invivisble whistle blew suddenly.

“Half time! Two minute break!” called out a demonic voice out of nowhere but it didn’t matter because everyone slumped to the ground.

“C’mon guys over here!” She called everyone over to where Suzie was and they all sat down.

“Is everyone genrally alright? Did anyone hurt their leg or arm?” silence told Linds that no one did.

“That’s a good thing. Lopmon can you go in net? I’m going up along with Impmon while Gulimon is going defense and Takato can go midfield. If it’s alright with you.”

Takato smiled, “You know this game better than any of us so I say power to you! Just don’t screw up okay?”

The dark blue Digimon smiled. “I’ll try not to.” Linds heard the whistle blow and everyone was suddenly in the new positions.

“Do we have some kind of stalker?” she whispered to Impmon who shrugged. The whistle blew and we began to play. I moved the ball and moved to the left while Impmon moved the ball the opposite way.

“Impmon man on!”

“High!”

High ment a high ball as he flicked it up to me. I caught it with my chest and moved forward. I flicked the ball behind me over a figure’s head and bounced it down with the heel of my foot. I turned around and ran to the middle of the net for a shot. I sailed the ball and Impmon headed it…GOAL!

“Aswome Impmon!” I high fived him and jogged to my oringal position.

“Wow she wasn’t kidding when she was good.” Said Terrimon in awe. Henry nodded dumbly thinking the exact same thing.

The game began and the cloaked figures pushed Linds and Impmon away before dribbling the ball. Down the field.

“Badaboom!” cried Linds sending a fireball towards the player and he was knocked down. Nothing happened that delt with a whistle or shock and the game resumed with Henry kicking the ball towards Linds.

“It didn’t count!” she shouted passing back. “Guys use your attacks to get rid of these guys.” Linds turned and received the ball but before controlling it she was kicked in the face and was sent down harshly.

“You okay?” asked Impmon holding out a hand and Linds took it. She felt blood trickling down her nose.

“Shit, yeah I’m fine. Wait until I get my hands round their little necks.” With unbelieveable speed she stole the ball and laughed.

“Yeah that’s what I thought. You really shouldn’t mess with a queen of soccer!” she suddenly bent backwards baerly missing a punch to her face and moved the ball to the outside left.

“They’re friggin attacking me!” she slid with the ball to avoid a swift kick and a stomp from the black figures.

“Pryo Sphere!” called Gulimon blasting one away. The whistle didn’t voice out so Gulimon contuined to blast them down for Linds to have a clear view. Suddenly she was knocked down by the evil Suzie.

“My turn!” she called taking the ball swiftly and juggling it on her knees. This move seemed very famillar…it suddenly hit Linds like a bus.

“She’s going to shoot!” she screamed and charged the little girl but it was too late the last bounce was already made and she was winding up her leg for the kick. The ball soared and was aiming for the net! Lopmon stood her ground and had a determined expression.

The Digimon caught the ball and was almost having a battle with it since the kick was so strong.

“C’mon Lopmon you can do this!” Suzie called waving her arms she was smiling as Lopmon caught the ball and it settled in her arms.

“Thanks Suzie! Lets get this goal and get out of here there is only 10 seconds left.” She shouted and used her big ears to throw the ball to Ai. She head butted it to Linds who dribbled and passed to Impmon in the middle who passed to Mako who was right at the net. Linds and Impmon smirked while lighting their fingers.

“Badaboom!”

Twelve fires were lit all around the soccer field and all of the other players were caught in it. Mako shot and it was going to go in…the ball hit the cross bar! Ai saw this and jumped forward to deliever the final blow. She kicked it into the bottom corner and the goalie dived…it was in!

“Oh my god yes!” Linds cried hugging Impmon as the buzzer sounded.

“Did we win Takatomon?” asked Gulimon towards Takato who was looking at the now depleting barrier. Smiling he nodded and asked if he was ready to Biomerge.

In seconds Galltramon, Megagarglemon, Antilamon, Beelzemon, and Hopemon were all facing the evil Suzie.

“No fair! You cheated!” screamed the evil child which started to turn oddly more black like. Her hair turned into wavy wisps of black smoke as well as her body. Pretty soon everything of her was black expect her dark pink eyes.

The Digimon and tamers said nothing just smirked. Hopemon finally spoke up.

“We worked together that’s what we did. Were sorry you don’t know what teamwork is. Staff of Fate!” she cried while all of the other Digimon used their attacks.

“I’m sorry Mistress! Please avenge me!” she screamed being engulfed in the blast. A white light aftermath was surrounding the whole stadium and everything seemed to be destroyed. When the light finally died down everyone was in the desert again.

“Well that’s another one down I guess.” Shrugged Takato. Everyone else nodded.

“Where do we go next?” asked Mako. “I’m kinda hungry.”

“Right we need some food.” Linds said looking around. “And I was kinda hoping that the stadium had something edible.”

“Well, I dunno about you guys but we should get going south where we were heading we should be near the forest if I correct.” Beelzemon looked at the other Digimon.

“Right our village.” Antilimon said looking into the far off distance.

“Wait, Wtf?” Hopemon said holding my hands in a questionable stance.

“Well, once we were sent back here we had no clue where to go so we just made our own village until you guys came back.” Gulimon explained turning towards Hopemon she nodded.

“Oh, do you think it will still be here though?”

“Good chance.” Terrimon said Henry intrupted.

“You guys actually worked together to make a village.”

“Well, it took a lot of fighting but we done it. Beelzemon was usually starting the fights.” Antimon said.

“Hey! I was making good suggestions and you ignored them.”

“Yeah, stealing was a really good idea from guys that were stronger than us.” Terrimon laughed.

“Shut up bunny.”

“Okay! Break it up boys we should get there now because I’m starving and so is everyone else.” Hopemon said. Everyone nodded and Beelzemon whistled for his bike. Nothing. He whistled again.

“Great someone got on my bike.” He muttered and kicked some dirt. He closed his eyes and sure enough his dark black wings appeared on his back.

“I want to ride Hopemon!” Ai cried tugging at Hopemon’s dress. Mako went over to Beelzemon.

“Beelzemon’s way cooler!”

“Hopemon’s way cooler.”

Beelzemon stared at Hopemon who gave a tired look. “I’ll take Ai you take Mako.”

“Okay and don’t start pullin on my feather ya hear me?” Beelzemon warned while Mako climbed on.

“Same with you Ai, okay?” Hopemon picked up Ai and started to flap her grey wings.

“Okay lets get going.” Gallatramon said.

The ride was boring until the group entered the thick forest and looked around. About four small huts were circled around the clear area but they seemed ancient and dusty.

“This is your village?” asked Mako. Beelzemon nodded.

“Yeah, ya wouldn’t believe how long it took to make the things.” He muttered going towards the one on the inside middle. “I think this one’s mine whenever I was around.”

“You were never around!” cried Terrimon who Debiomerged from Henry. Gulimon did the same. “You were always in the trees or something.”

The group entered the hut Beelzemon mentioned and were somewhat shocked that everyone could stand in it. There were two beds but one seemed somewhat burned a bit.

“Heh, you always burned your bed somehow.” Laughed Terrimon. Beelzemon scowled. “And he always had to share with Calumon which was pretty hilarious.”

“Well, you didn’t have to live the stupid cream puff guy! Every friggin minute he wanted to do something!”

Hopemon laughed, and went to check out the other huts. The one on the far left was filled with cross hatches and ying and yang symbols. On the opposite side there was a messy bed The child Digimon guessed this was Renamons and someone elses.

“This was that stupid Dino’s place and Foxy’s.” Beelzemon said coming in. Hopemon nodded and guessed if the cross hatches ment how many days they spent there.

“Yeah, she really missed Rika I geuss. Everyone missed their Tamers.”

“Even you?” Hopemon asked Beelzemon. He shrugged and left.

“I’m taking that as a yes!” The child called out following Beelzemon into the hut to the inner right side. This one had a hole and two small beds.

“This was mine!” Gulimon showed Takato his bed and he laughed.

The group finally got to the last hut which was normal expect the small bed and no bed at all.

“Gaurdrmon’s and Marineangelmon’s room I think.” Antlimon said. As Takato asked where the food was Beelzemon frowned and told everyone to be quiet.

“This aint good.” He muttered and rushed out. Hopemon heard a sound. Beelzemon’s bike was roaring in the distance. She rushed out with him as well.

“Oh snap!” she cried barely dodging the motorcycle. She pushed everyone back.

“Who’s on my bike?” Beelzemon said staring at the passenger seat. “Great a Tokomon got on it!”

“Well get it off then!” Hopemon said dodging the bike.

“I’m working on it!” he cried as he was facing the up coming bike. He suddenly jumped and knocked Tokomon while he stopped the bike.

“Woah you okay?” Hopemon said picking up the Digimon. It slowly opened it’s eyes.

“Where am I?”

“In our village and what were you doing on my bike?” Beelzemon said glaring at the in training Digimon. It hung it’s head down low.

“My friends dared me to go on it and that’s the last thing I remember. I’m sorry!” it started to tear up. And Hopemon smiled.

“It’s okay no harm done really. Beelzemon over here is just being an ass.” She said in English. Tokomon smiled slightly. It jumped out of the Digimon’s arms and started to head deeper in the forest.

“Thanks, I better get going see you later!” it cried jumping in the forest and disappearing.

“Wow never a dull day around here.” Muttered Hopemon turning back into her rookie form.

“You got that right toots.” Muttered Beelzemon and looked around. Jumping into the bushes confused Linds.

“What are you doing?” she asked putting her hands on her hips. “I really don’t feel like playing hide and seek at the moment.” Linds saw Beelzemon come back with a handful of berries.

“Not as good as pizza but it’s food.” He passed her a branch and she looked at it. After taking a few bites she shrugged and continued to eat. Looking over at Ai and Mako she gave the rest to them.

“Is there a lake around here?” Linds smiled at Beelzemon’s nodding. “Good I’m going fishing for some real food anyone coming?”

Several people said yes and in minutes everyone was staring a somewhat large lake.

“This is so friggin sweet.” Linds said before diving in. The water was cold but at least the fish were here. She grabbed a couple and got out of the lake.

“Holy crud it’s cold.” She muttered. As she came out of the water she suddenly felt a surge of pain coming from her tail. Swinging it beside her she found a fish biting it hard.

Linds shrieked and whipped her tail around as fast as she could.

“Get off! Get off! Get off! GET OFF!” she grabbed the fish finally and threw it into the forest. Everyone was looking at her oddly not knowing of the fish attack.

“I kinda forgot that there were some pretty nasty fish there. I think that’s why we stuck with the berries.” Terrimon said thoughtfully. Linds glared and suddenly started to shake the poor Digimon.

“What do you mean you forgot! There could be pirhananas in there and I could have been torn to pieces!” she finally let go and sat down to mend her bitten tail.

“Takato, what’s a pirhanana?” asked Gulimon looking at the goggle head boy.

“Fish that are carnivores but they are only in South America and Australia. So I don’t think there is nothing to worry about Linds.”

“Easy for you to say kid you don’t got a tail.” Impmon said. “I mean, how would you like it if someone ripped off your ear or something? Not likely so I might add. Also goes for Digimon. We don’t like our feathers ripped out-


“Or us girls having our dangly earrings pulled!” called out Linds. Impmon continued.

“Right.” Impmon nodded.

“I think Impmon had a rant.” Whispered Mako to Ai who nodded in agreement.

Dinner was enjoyed mostly save for Linds mutterings of curse to the fish below. Henry was trying to reason to Linds that it wasn’t their fault but the look in Linds’ eye made everyone shut up.

The groups decided to sleep in the huts for the night and started to divide everyone. Linds and Impmon were in the one where Impmon used to live, Ai and Mako were beside them on the far right side. On the far left side Suzie, Lopmon, Terrimon, and Henry were there and the last hut was for Takato and Gulimon.

“Just behave yourselves in there okay?” Takato said smiling at Linds and Impmon. Impmon gave a
