DemiDevimon was flying high over the roofs of the city. He was tired, but he kept on flying, because he knew: The next time he made a mistake, the master wouldn't be as forgiving as before.
Slowly, he approached the house in which he knew the Matsuki family was living. That much he knew from Lord Yamacus. Before, in his simple 'Yamaki' disguise, the master had paid the house a visit. But that had not been the first time. He had known the boy and his friends even before he became a 'Dark Lord'. So it was no wonder that he knew even behind which window Takato's bedroom was situated.
For a short time, DemiDevimon had been thinking about defecting his master, but ditched that idea very quickly. Not only did he fear the master's wrath... he felt that he should be thankful that he took him into his services.
Before, DemiDevimon had been a simple Rookie Digimon, homelessly wandering over the plains of the Digital World, never being accepted by anyone.
"Oh, a member of the Devimon Evolution group," they would say. "They're all the same. They're cruel, and they have no heart. Best to leave such guys to themselves."
Well, it was true that DemiDevimon loved creating some sorts of mischief every now and then... but he clearly didn't see himself as 'cruel'.
But still, being alone all the time had pained his heart terribly.
But then, he found that rift between the worlds and, curiously, passed through it. Not too much later after that, he met Lord Yamacus, who instantly realized his potentials (or so DemiDevimon told himself) and hired him. He gave him a place to stay, food and a purpose in life.
That was the second reason why he would never abandon him: Where else should he go?
Carefully, the winged Rookie landed on the window sill and peered inside. He saw a young boy's bedroom, in a slight state of disorder, as most young boy's bedrooms are.
At the computer standing on the desk in one corner of the room, DemiDevimon saw a boy with dark hair. Strangely enough, all he could see on the screen was static. So why was that boy looking at the screen with such an enthusiastic look on his face? It didn't make any sense to the Digimon.
Well, he was here to do his job, not to question that boy's sanity. He quickly looked around the room, then grinned. Perfect! That red dinosaur Digimon, of which his master had told him about, was nowhere to be seen.
----
Kai grinned. This new game of Takato's really was fun. True, it was a little unfair that he played it while his cousin was at school, but... He just couldn't stop himself. Besides, he had nothing better to do until Takato returned. And it wasn't like he would delete anything that the goggle-boy had created with the game before.
Still, Kai had to chuckle when thinking back to what he did a while ago. Looking at Takato's own profile was interesting enough (he still had to figure out how the game was able to provide those informations), but then he went as far as changing his cousin's name to 'Takatomon' - the same name Guilmon called him every now and then. But then he felt guilty and quickly changed it back to normal. The screen had flashed a little after having corrected his mistake, but as Kai wasn't quite a computer expert, he thought nothing about it.
Suddenly, he felt a blow of fresh air hitting his neck from behind. He turned around... and saw an unknown Digimon with a round body and bat-like wings hopping into the room.
"Hey! Where did you come from?"
The intruder grinned. "I got you now, Takato Matsuki! My master will be pleased when I bring you to him."
"But I'm not..."
"DEMI DART!"
Kai winced as two BIG syringes appeared out of nowhere, zipped past him and got stuck in the wall directly left and right of the computer. He could see that they were filled with some strange fluid.
"Silence!" DemiDevimon snapped. "One dose of my poison, and humans fall down to the ground. So you better not speak until you're told to. That red dinosaur Digimon isn't in the house, is he? Answer!"
Kai wanted to tell the Digimon that he wasn't Takato, but those darts looked just too dangerous, so he simply obeyed: "N-no..."
"Good! Then you'll come with me! I believe my master has a word to share with you or two! Come on!"
He flew towards Kai, who hid his face behind his arms. But DemiDevimon didn't attack him: He grasped his shoulders with his talons and flapped hardly with his wings. And with an astounding strength for such a small Digimon, he lifted the struggling Kai off the ground and carried him out of the window.
"Stop struggling! Or do you want to feel my darts?"
Kai gulped and stopped moving. He still felt uneasy when he looked down and saw how high they were hovering over the ground.
DemiDevimon snickered. He couldn't really aim his darts so that they would hit anything that was underneath him, but the boy didn't need to know that, did he?
Just as DemiDevimon was going to fly away, a surprised voice came from the ground: "Kai!"
Kai looked down. "Guilmon!"
"What?" DemiDevimon screamed. "You're not Takato? Why did I waste my time with you at all?"
Kai grinned weakly. "Well, you told me not to say anything, so..."
"Grrrrr. Shut up!"
"Let him go!" Guilmon shouted. "PYRO SPHERE!"
Kai yelped as he saw the fiery projectile heading their way, but Guilmon had a good aim... it hit DemiDevimon right in the middle of his bowling-ball body.
"WHAAAAAAH!" he screamed. "HOT! HOT! HOT!" As he thrashed around with his wings, he simply let go of Kai.
Kai felt as if this would be his end as he saw the ground approaching at a great speed. He closed his eyes.
"Kai, no!" Guilmon shouted. "I've got to save him!"
----
Takato was sitting at his desk in class, still in shock because of the fact that his teacher and several of his class mates have been turned into Digimon. He couldn't grasp a clear thought, until suddenly, the D-Power inside his backpack began glowing. "Huh?" he murmured. "Wha...?"
----
"GUILMON HYBRID DIGIVOLUTION TO... CERATOMON!"
Kai gasped as he suddenly was caught in mid-air. The humanoid Digimon with the dinosaur-like face and helmet had jumped up and intercepted his fall, before they both fell down again and his saviour gently landed on his feet.
"Guilmon?" Kai wondered. He had clearly seen how Guilmon had turned into this Digimon. Was it a new kind of Digivolution?
The door to the bakery opened. "Kai! Guilmon! Are you okay? What's going on here?"
Ceratomon turned around his head. "We're fine, Mom! Stay back, it's dangerous!"
'What?' Kai thought. 'Mom?'
He was even more surprised when he looked at his aunt... and saw a slender Digimon with a female, humanoid body, but the scaly skin, claws and tail of a dinosaur. Underneath the same head cloth she always wore while in the bakery, he could see her familiar brown hair spilling out... but he also saw a short snout that might have some human features, but still looked like it belonged in Jurassic Park.
"I am not as defenseless as you think, son!" Mie Matsuki growled. "No one is gonna attack my family and is getting away with it... EMBER BALL!"
And a red fireball, similar to Guilmon's attack, came shooting out of her mouth and flew towards DemiDevimon.
"OW!" he screamed. "Damn, not any more fire! Okay, okay, I got it! I'm leaving!" He turned around, flapping wildly to douse the flames that were still sizzling over his body. "Ouch!"
Mie (although back in the Digital World, she was known as 'Compsomon') glared at the Digimon that (at least in this new reality) was her younger son and shook her head. "Really, you should stop thinking that your mother is too old to fight, you know? And that flying bowling ball with wings better thinks twice before he bothers my family again. And next time you discover a new way of Digivolving, you tell me right away! Are we clear, young man?"
Ceratomon sighed as he put Kai on the ground. "Yes, Mom..."
All the while Kai felt as if he had just entered the Twilight Zone...
