The Ceratomon Brothers were positioning themselves next to their friends.
BlueCeratomon smirked at Kitsumon. "Hey, Rika!"
Rika just stared at him. "You wear no pants," she finally said with a frown.
While Jeri blushed and Kazu silently laughed, Takato just smirked. "Hey, who needs pants if you got a tail?" And he waved his new, scaly appendage through the air behind him.
"No matter how many of you there are, you are still no match for me," LadyDevimon grumbled. "I mean, seriously... Four Rookies and four Champions? That's hardly a challenge!"
And without any warning, she attacked: "Evil Wing!"
The Hybrid Tamers and their friends spread out to avoid the attack, and the battle was on.
Cubmon, Rikamon, Kyubimon and Gargomon were keeping Devimon busy, who actually started to sweat a little bit under their assault. The Ceratomon Brothers, Guardromon and Canismon took on Riley, and they had a much harder time keeping up with her quick movements.
Kazu, on the other hand, stayed behind and prepared to use his cards in case Guardromon would need them.
BlueCeratomon winced as Riley's fist slammed into his stomach. "This is gonna be tough," he muttered. "Perhaps we should concentrate on Devimon first?"
But Kitsumon shook her head. "No! We have to keep her busy, or she'll attack us from all sides. This isn't a round-based battle like in one of your games, Takato! This is real!"
Seeing that she was right, Takato concentrated on keeping Riley away from the other battle, just dodging her attacks and only attacking if she made any attempts on helping her male counterpart.
Devimon started to get nervous by now. "Riley... a little help here?"
"I can't!" the LadyDevimon snapped as she blocked a punch from Canismon. "The brats won't leave me alone!"
Devimon grimaced. 'This is ridiculous!' he thought to himself. 'Youkomon promised me no one would be able to beat us after we joined his little group, and now those kids are walking all over us... Damn, if he only would let me digivolve again...'
'NO!' Youkomon's voice echoed through his mind. 'You still need to gather some strength. You will soon getting stronger, believe me. You don't have to beat them, just keep them busy. Fighting alone gives us enough energy for what we've planned. Keep that up and soon you'll be able to reach your next level. And as soon as you and Riley manage to reach the Mega Level, you will be unstoppable, trust me!'
Devimon decided to believe in the evil fox's words for now and kept on fighting.

"Say what?" Kenta blurted out in surprise after Calumon put down his spoon. "There have been Hybrids before?"
Calumon nodded. "That's what Azulongmon told me. But he also said that they weren't born like Jeri and the others, but that someone created them ar... arti..."
"Artificially?" MarineAngemon asked. Calumon nodded. "Yeah, that's the word! Apparently, there was a human that used human DNA and Digimon Data to create his own Hybrids. He was a bad man that wanted to defeat Azulongmon and the other Sovereigns, but his three Hybrids weren't strong enough. In the end, he was defeated. But still, Azulongmon doesn't know what happened to him after that. He just disappeared. Dunno if he's still alive or not..."
"But if there have been Hybrids before all of this, Azulongmon has to know something about them, right?" MarineAngemon asked.
"Maybe... but I can't really remember if he told me anything else about it... you might have to ask him yourself."
"Great..." Kenta sighed. "That means we have to go into the Digital World again..."
MarineAngemon, on the other hand, smiled happily. "Yippee! I'm gonna go home!"
----
"You haven't seen the last of me!" Riley shouted, as she and Devimon backed off from the assembled Digimon and Tamers.
Another hit of Kyubimon's Dragon Wheels made her wince and she decided that leaving for now would be the best option.
"We'll be back..." Devimon muttered as they escaped in darkness. "As soon as we gather enough power, we'll wipe the floor with you... and the other Five Ones will be with us!"
And then they vanished in a swirl of darkness.
The Hybrid Tamers looked at each other in confusion. "The other Five Ones?" Gargomon wondered. "What did they mean?"
"I don't know, but whoever those other five are, it doesn't sound as if they are too friendly," Harmony spoke up. "We should investigate."
"Sounds good!" Takato nodded. "But shouldn't we get out of here first?"
"Oh, goggle-head has some good ideas every now and then," Rika grumbled. "But as soon as we get back, you're gonna find some pants to put on your Digimon form, got it? And don't believe everything's fine between us just because you put yourself into the same boat as me. I'm still pissed, and you're the reason I'm pissed. Got it?"
And angrily, the young Kitsumon stormed away, towards the exit. The others hurried after her.
"Was it something I said?" Takato wondered.
