"Fierce Pounce!" Jeri yelled, as she jumped at an attacking Vilemon with all her strength. The winged evil Digimon felt as if his body would be crushed by the little Hybrid's strength.
"Over here, Jeri!" her father yelled while taking care of three Vilemon at once.
"All right," his daughter shouted and grabbed her enemy's arm. "Propeller Toss!" Ans she hurled him directly at her father.
"FIST OF THE BEAST KING!" Leomon roared, as he welcomed the incoming Vilemon with his attack.
Guilmon was fighting alongside Rika and Renamon in his 'Ceratomon' form.
"What I don't understand..." Rika grunted while punching one of her enemies. "Why did you pull that 'mysterious appearance' act if we know each other? Why didn't you talk to me directly?"
"Well..." Ceratomon sighed while he fired his 'Aura Sphere' at a group of Vilemon. "To be honest, I didn't want you to know that it was me."
"But why?" Renamon wondered while intercepting the attack of a Vilemon with a swift kick. "Why would you be ashamed of a new form of digivolution?"
"Not ashamed..." Ceratomon explained. "Just... insecure. After having digivolved into a Hybrid, I felt closer to Takato then I ever had. I felt more... human-like, you could say. I felt closer to the human side of my family then ever. And, to be honest, I was kinda scared... I wouldn't be myself anymore..."
"And that's why you appeared to help me?" Kitsumon asked, a little doubtfully.
"Well... to tell you the truth, I wanted to give you the security I didn't have myself. I didn't want you to freak out because you have turned into a Digimon. Well, I guess that speech I gave you helped me a little bit as well..."
"Just great..." Rika sighed as she blasted another Vilemon with her Flare Bullet. "I didn't freak out because I turned into a Digimon, but because no one remembers the world to be as Renamon and I remember it to be."
"Yes, I heard about that from Takato," Ceratomon nodded. "S'cuse me... SHOCKWAVE PUNCH!" His fist shot out a massive blast of energy that forced a small group of Vilemon to dodge it wildly.
"Perhaps you should talk to him," the humanoid dinosaur advised her. "He seems to have the same memory holes like yourself."
'Takato as well?' Rika wondered. 'Well, finally someone else... Hopefully, he will be able to unveil this whole mystery... or else I fear I'll just go insane for a while...'
"Watch out, Rika!" Renamon shouted, as a new batch of enemies approached them. "DIAMOND STORM!"
Riley alias LadyDevimon was engaged in a fierce battle with Mie alias Compsomon.
"All the time..." Compsomon snarled while slashing at LadyDevimon's shadowy bats. "All the time I believed you and your 'boss' would only want to help us Digimon and my child. At first, I was afraid... afraid your oh-so-powerful 'Hypnos' would be a danger for our Digital World... but for a short time, a VERY short time, I actually believed that you would honestly be concerned about my sons."
Riley grinned while firing her attacks at the nimble dinosaur. "What should I say?" she gloated. "If certain people are so gullible... You can't blame me, can you? I mean, sure, we have worked for the government once... but only until Lord Yamacus realized how much POWER the Digimon could give him... And power controls everything, you know that, don't you?"
"I only know that I should have known better then to trust a LadyDevimon like this," Mie snarled. "But this stops now, you hear me? You won't lay a single hand on my sons OR their friends... FLAME DAGGER!"
Her twin blades created a trail of ember in their path, as they both were suddenly engulfed in bright flames. Riley gasped in pain, as the fiery weapons cut through her right arm. She defended herself with a dark slash, and Compsomon swiftly jumped back.
Riley grimaced as she clutched her wounded arm. "You are quite pesky for a Champion..." she grumbled.
"You'll never understand the force which drives a mother to protect her children..." Mie replied with bared fangs.
Meanwhile, the battle between Devimon and Sheperdmon turned out to be kinda dull...
"Hell Contract!"
"Volt Lance!"
"Hell Contract!"
"Volt Lance!"
"Hell Contract!"
"Volt Lance!"
Dachsmon sweat-dropped as she watched her mother and the evolved form of DemiDevimon fight. "Do they have to use the same attacks over and over again?"
----
Yamacus yawned as he watched the battle through Tally's magical mirror. "You know, this is getting kinda boring..." he mumbled.
"Why not simply call back your troops?" Tally suggested. "I don't believe that we will be able to defeat them, now that those three veteran fighters have joined."
"Are you KIDDING?" Yamacus snapped. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for a chance like this? If I manage to capture a Hybrid, I might be able to turn ALL of my employees into Digimon. Just imagine, Tally..." He chuckled. "A whole battalion of trained soldiers, with the knowledge of modern warfare, with the instincts, natural strength and the special powers and abilities of a Digimon... We'll be unstoppable with such an army. And with the Sleeping Beast backing us up, no one will ever dare to oppose us."
"I know, my lord," Tally said. "But I just wanted to make another suggestion: Why don't we just concentrate on the other Tamers?"
"The other Tamers are not Hybrids, remember?" Yamacus grumbled. "I want Hybrids, nothing else."
"But sir, keep in mind that only Tamers managed to digivolve into Hybrids by now... And just because the others didn't manage to do it as yet doesn't mean that they are incapable of doing it. Perhaps they only need some sort of... stimulation."
The dark lord of Hypnos rubbed this chin. He had never looked at the situation like that before. "My goodness, Tally... If what you say is true, then this battle is the ideal distraction." He grinned evilly. "Dispatch a few Commandramon! They shall take care of this."
"At once, my lord!"

Guardromon hummed to himself as he walked out of the factory gates. His human colleagues walked past him and waved. "Good job today, Guardromon!" they said. "Keep up the good work!"
"See you tomorrow!" Guardromon replied, then he started walking.
Accepting this job at the factory had really been a good idea. Not only was this something he was good in, he also received a good payment for his work.
"I have to thank Kazu for suggesting that I should find a job," he said to himself. "I never had so much fun in my life like this before."
Contently, he walked around the corner, intent on fetching Kazu from school. As his Digimon partner, he felt responsible for the youngster, so he became something like a parental figure for the young boy.
As the robot Digimon approached the school gates, he saw a familiar figure floating next to them. He chuckled to himself.
"Well, well, well..." he said. "Who do we have here? MarineAngemon!"
The tiny, floating Mega Digimon turned around to face his big friend. "Hiya!" he greeted him in his childish behavior.
"You here to fetch Kenta, huh?" Guardromon asked. MarineAngemon nodded enthusiastically. "Uh-huh, uh-huh! Hey, you wanna hear about my day? Today was really fun! I played with the kiddies all the time."
Guardromon smirked. Working as a kindergarten teacher was just the right thing for the happy-go-lucky MarineAngemon. Having the personality of a child, but the intelligence and sense of responsibility of an adult, he was just the man to take care of the young children.
"Although Mako and Ai once again didn't come..." he then said in a sad tone of voice.
"Again?" Guardromon groaned. "We really have to talk some sense into Impmon one of those days. I mean, it's his own decision if he doesn't want to go to school, but the little ones are just to small to make the decision for themselves."
Unnoticed by the two friends, a blue, camouflaged dinosaur face wearing a military helmet appeared in a shrub growing on the school's premises.
"Espionage Specialist 004 reporting..." a raspy voice exclaimed. "Am approaching the school building. Digimon partners spotted. Awaiting instructions, over."
"Keep your position, 004," a voice came out of his Walkie-Talkie. "We'll take care of everything."
"Roger that!" the Commandramon nodded.
