At first, Bariomon and Megalomon used their massive size and incredible strength to move around some of the rubble that was lying around. But after some time, Terriermon shouted that he found the entrance, so they de-digivolved back into their Rookie forms.
"Stupid bird..." Ceratomon muttered. "I wonder where he came from. Normally, Digimon don't just attack people in the human world like that. Especially not those with such a massive size. They'll know that they will attract the attention of the police this way... and that of the Digimon Security Patrol."
Kitsumon sweatdropped. "The what?"
"Oh, of course, you wouldn't know about them... they make sure that no Digimon start fighting in public, so innocent bystanders will not be endangered. There are very strict laws for damage control of Digimon battles in the human world."
"But... Digimon are combative beings by nature," Renamon wondered. "How will they make sure that all of those Digimon that are living here will really stick to those rules?"
"Well, there are several fighting tournaments for Digimon that are held over the year," Nalamon explained. "Digimon can let off steam during those tournaments, even though they aren't allowed to delete their opponents like they would do in the Digital World. The deletion of a Digimon is very much the same crime as murder."
"Could we please get back on topic?" Kitsumon asked. Her head starting to spin again. "Terriermon, where is that entrance you found?"
"It's just over there," the humanoid dog-rabbit said and gestured to a big, metal hatch that was surrounded by several boulders.
"It's open," BlueCeratomon noticed. "Either it has been open all the time, or someone else came here before us."
"Let's better hurry and find the documents," Canismon said in a worried voice. "First that bird attacks, and now we find the entrance to the basement is open... If there is someone who entered the basement before us, I hope it's not Yamacus or one of his lackeys..."
"Yeah, or maybe dear old 'grandpa' and his buddies..." Kitsumon grumbled. "I agree, we better hurry!"
They pulled out a few flashlights and went down the stairs that were under the hatch.
Suddenly, Kazu said: "I wonder of those flashlights count as 'Key Items' in our game..."

Alice winced as Ivan's powerful arms pushed some heavy junk out of the way that had been blocking the dark corridor.
"Ivan, would you please be quiet? The Hybrid Tamers might be just behind us, and we don't want to attract any needless attention, you hear me?"
"I'm doing her a favor, and she complains..." the calm giant mumbled. "If I only wouldn't like her so much, I would let her do it by herself... I hope she doesn't find out about my crush..."
Alice grimaced. "Ivan, I know about that silly crush you have on me since I met you for the first time after those many years. You practically say it every time you talk to me."
Ivan blinked as he looked down at her blankly. "I say what?"
She sighed. "Never mind... let's concentrate on finding those documents, okay?"
Ivan nodded. He pushed a large, empty trash container out of the way, and it fell to the floor with a loud clang.
"I said keep quiet!"
Unbeknown to them, a big amount of circular eyes was watching them from the darkness.
"Intruders!"
"From the surface!"
"Hiiisssssss, we have to tell the massster..."
"Would you stop it with the hissing?" one of the voices asked in an annoyed tone of voice.
"Sorry..."
----
Meanwhile, the Hybrid Tamers were trying to find their own way through the dark cellars.
"I can't believe it..." Canismon murmured as she looked into one of the many rooms they were passing. "This place is so much bigger than I thought..."
BlueCeratomon nodded knowingly. "Second dungeon... no doubt about it!"
"Just great..." Kitsumon sighed.
"But... hey, this can't be the second dungeon," Kazu protested.
"Why not?" Kenta wondered.
"Well, where are the random encounters?"
"Will you two shut your mouth for once?" Kitsumon snapped. "I'm trying to think!"
"Well, good luck with that..." Kazu muttered in an offended tone of voice.
"I heard that!"
SQUISH!
"Eeeewwww!" Kitsumon proclaimed as she lifted her foot to see what she had stepped into. "What's that slime?"
"Yuck!" Terriermon said. "The floor and the walls are covered with it!"
"It's like something crawled across those walls..." Nalamon muttered and shone her flashlight at the walls, where the slimy ooze was dripping down.
"I think I've seen stuff like this before..." Renamon contemplated and took a careful sniff.
She instantly backed off and held her nose. "Yeah, no doubt about it..." she groaned. "This is Numemon slime!"
"Ew, gross!" Nalamon proclaimed.
"But... how does Numemon slime get down here?" Ceratomon wondered.
When a drop of slime dripped onto his muzzle, he looked upwards.
And looked right into a dozen of round eyes under the ceiling.
"Um, Takato..."
"What?" BlueCeratomon looked upwards and aimed his flashlight at the ceiling.
It was covered with green, slimy Digimon... Numemon!
"ATTACK!" the Numemon hollered together and let themselves drop down on their surprised victims.
"Well, there you have your 'random encounter', Kazu!" Kitsumon grumbled. "Satisfied?"
"Um... no, not really!"
