Reppamon shook the boys a few times with his forepaws. "Hey, you guys, wake up!"
"I will as soon as you stop shaking me," Kazu groaned and reached for his head. "I feel as if a herd of Mammothmon has trampled over it... Owww..."
Takato stood up. "What happened? Where are we?" He then looked down at his human form. "And why did I digivolve back into a human?"
"The same reason I'm back to Guilmon, I guess," his red-scaled brother shrugged.
"Myotismon tricked us all," the male fox with the tail blade grumbled. "I always knew he was up to something, but I never supposed he would go as far as putting a sleeping drug into our drinks... and I guess you turned back because your Digivolutions are only temporary, and thus your bodies reverted to their natural form when you fell asleep."
"Looks like some old storage room," Terriermon mumbled when he looked around. He then seemed to remember something. "Wait... where are the girls? Where is Harmony?"
"Looks like our host has taken them to another place..." Takato grumbled. "If I ever get my hands on him..."
He then looked at Reppamon in surprise. "How did you know he was up to no good?"
Reppamon smirked. "I may not look like it, but I'm actually a government agent, sent to investigate the strange occurences around the laboratory which has been abandoned for years. We knew it was infested with Numemon, but they weren't the problem. But after we got messages about people that were suffering from blood loss in the surrounding area, we already figured it might be a vampiric Digimon. I acted as if I was a traveller from the Digital World, so Myotismon wouldn't suspect a thing." He sighed. "Looks like my cover didn't help me that much after all... but I would have never assumed you kids would come here as well."
"Well, we are searching for more information about our Hybrid bodies," Guilmon explained. "Harmony's father knew the man who had worked here."
"I already figured it was you," Reppamon said. "I heard of a group of kids who found out that Mr. Yamaki was misusing Digimon for his own deeds... we were quite surprised after finding out that there were actually humans with Digimon abilities living in Tokyo."
"Can we save the talk for later?" Terriermon complained. "We have to find a way out of here, we must save Harmony!"
"He has a point there," Reppamon admitted. "Alright, let's see if I can contact my superior..."
----
Renamon blinked. The first thing she noticed was that she was lying on something soft and comfortable. She then saw the ceiling of a beautiful canopy bed.
She heard soft breathing next to her and saw the tiny form of her sister, curled up next to her. On her other side, Harmony was just beginning to stir. Another body was lying next to Harmony, but as the room was somewhat gloomy, she couldn't recognize the person lying there. Maybe it was Jeri...
She gently shook her sister. "Rika... I mean, Kitmon... wake up!"
Kitmon yawned, opening her mouth wider as Renamon would believe it to be possible. "Don't wanna go to school..." she mumbled. "Lemme sleep, mommy..."
Harmony sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Renamon... where are we?"
"Well, look who finally woke up! Took you long enough, girls!"
Renamon and Harmony turned around to face the speaker, while Jeri was slowly starting to wake up as well. They knew that voice...
They were surprised when they recognized the blonde girl with the black dress that was sitting next to the room's door, with a smug smile on her face.
"Alice?" Harmony muttered. "Is that you?"
"Who did you expect? Orochimon?"
"No," Renamon protested. "It's just that we are surprised... what are you doing here?"
Alice shrugged. "The same as you, I believe... waiting for someone to rescue me." She frowned. "That stupid vampire... he caught me by surprise. Otherwise I would have never let him capture me."
Jeri sat up in bed. "Well, this is certainly a surprise... Of all the places, I would have never believed to meet you here again."
"I don't think it's that surprising," Alice sighed. "After all, it was my grandfather who once owned this laboratory..."
"WHAT?" the other girls shouted in awe.
"I can't believe this..." Harmony muttered. "Your grandfather was in the same team as my Dad?"
"Yes. Is that a problem?"
"No, not at all," Harmony said. "I'm just surprised..."
"Another question," Renamon intervened. "Does anyone of you have any good idea how we can get out of here? Because I don't really want to find out what Myotismon is planning to do with us."
"I'm hungry..." Kitmon whined. "I want my Mommy..."
"I already tried the door," Alice shrugged. "It's locked tight... and I don't think there is another exit in this room."
"Not good..." Harmony muttered and looked around the room. She then looked at the door closely. "Guys, you think I could digivolve and blast through this door?"
Alice watched her closely. 'Good thing I could convince Ivan to stay in hiding after realizing that this vampire was living here...' she thought to herself. 'He would have blabbed out all of our plan, would he be here as well...'
She had decided to let herself get captured, so she could find out if that Myotismon knew more about the documents she was searching for. But she had yet to meet him. She was not surprised to find the unconscious forms of the female Hybrid Tamers after the Pipismon locked her in this room.
Suddenly, Renamon perked up. "I believe someone's coming..."
Harmony stepped back from the door just as it opened, and the vampire came in.
Myotismon smiled. "Well, good to see you are getting along, my ladies... and nice to see that there is such a big assortment of Digimon beauties that..."
His face darkened when he took a closer look at Jeri, Harmony and Alice. "What is this? I know I had three beautiful Digimon women in here... and now all I get are little girls?"
"Well, bad for you, blood-sucker!" Harmony smirked. "But what if I told you that those 'adult' bodies were just our Champion forms after we digivolved?"
"How absurd!" Myotismon snapped. "Who has ever heard of humans that can turn into Digimon?"
"We can always give you a demonstration, if you like," grinned Jeri. "Jeri Hybrid Digivolution to... Cubmon!"
"Harmony Hybrid Digivolution to... Dachsmon!"
Alice smirked. Well, she always could play along with them...
"Alice Bio-Hybrid Digivolution to... Gaomon!"
After the transformations were complete, the other girls stared at Alice in bewilderment.
"Alice!" Cubmon gasped. "I never knew you were a Hybrid as well."
Gaomon grinned. "Well, my grandfather WAS the first human to splice Digimon data with human DNA..."
Myotismon looked down at them in disgust. Rookies! Children! And to think that he had believed them to be true ladies...
"I would never make a little brat into my bride..." he murmured. He then grinned. "Well, the beautiful vixen will have to do... the rest of you will be my midnight snack!"
"Don't count on it, fang-face!" Cubmon grumbled. "Rush Tackle!"
But as he drew his cape in front of his body, it felt to her as if she was running against a solid wall.
"Let me try it," Dachsmon shouted. She raised her projectile weapon. "Air Cutter!"
Renamon added her own attack: "Diamond Storm!"
But it was to no avail.
"Useless!" Myotismon chuckled. "You Rookies actually try to stand up against a powerful Ultimate as ME? How cute..."
"You bastard!" Gaomon growled. "Double Backhand!"
And she spun around, hitting the vampire multiple times with her fists.
"That doesn't even tickle..." Myotismon said with slight annoyance. He opened his cape. "GRISLY WING!"
A dark flock of bats streamed forth from his cape, surrounding Alice and the other girls. Only Renamon and Kitmon were spared.
Alice winced. She really hoped the other girls would finally digivolve, so she didn't have to reveal her true power...
But both Cubmon and Dachsmon started to groan. "I can't digivolve any further..." the canine girl murmured.
"Me neither..." Cubmon replied. "Must be because of this drug..."
"That's right!" Myotismon grinned. "As long as the drug is in your blood, it will hinder you from reaching a higher level than Rookie. And at the same time, it is weakening your battle power. You are done for!"
Kitmon watched the battle in horror, curled up in a little ball. She would like to help her friends, but that little body of hers wasn't acting like she wanted. Her little toddler mind was shaking with fear when she looked upon the fearsome scene in front of her.
But... wasn't she a strong Tamer? A Hybrid that has already fought multiple battles? And didn't she always want to protect her friends and family?
Well, this was her chance to do so.
Renamon got startled, when behind her, Kitmon suddenly started glowing. "What the...?"
"Kitmon Digivolve to... Kitsumon!"
The Rookie vixen made her hands into fists as she stared upon the evil vampire. "Now you're gonna pay!"
"Impossible!" Myotismon gasped. "How could you...?"
"Well, it seems your minions forgot to put the drug into my drink," Kitsumon smirked. "Now let go of my friends, or else..."
"Never!" Myotismon snarled. "I will feast upon the blood of you and your friends... and your sister will become my bride!"
"In your dreams!" Rika muttered as her body started to glow even brighter.
Myotismon could only watch in disbelief when Kitsumon's young body stretched, even more tails came out of her backside, and she fell down on all fours...
"KITSUMON DIGIVOLVE TO... KITSUNEMON!"
A red-furred, female fox, as big and sleek as Kyubimon, with six waving tails that were tipped with white. On her chest, the symbol of Yin and Yang was visible, and a mane of reddish fur was surrounding her head, being pulled into some sort of ponytail that was waving over her backside.
Kitsunemon bared her fangs. "Now who is whose dinner?"
