"What do you think you are doing there, girl?" Chief Todo barked at the two Angels that were floating above the chaotic scene.
Manami smiled. "Why, Mr. Policeman, sir, we're just doing our job as guardian angels. We're protecting the city against bad men like them."
"Y... you did this?" the police chief boggled and stared at the three bank robbers. One of them still thought he was a monkey. The second one had started an act that looked like it was right out of 'Swan Lake', while the third one continued to whisper sweet nothings to the fire hydrant next to him.
"Sure we did!" another voice coming from above shouted. It was another Angel Digimon, this time a young boy. He gestured at the three men. "We just helped them to become what they like. That one always wanted to become a dancer when he was young. His friend never knew the meaning of love. And the third one dreams of roaming the wilderness. They hid their feelings behind a thick wall of adult prejudices and bad thoughts, but we helped them to get rid of them."
Todo looked over to Taomon, who had come outside along with him. Takato and his friends had followed them as well, in a distance, while Compsomon and Leomon stayed behind to guard Bimon.
"Is this possible? Can they do that?" Todo whispered to Taomon.
Taomon shrugged. "I've never seen Digimon with such unusual powers before, especially not ones that are this young. Then again, there are very few Angel Digimon this young... most of them are Bird or Beast Digimon in their youth and ascend to Azulongmon's domain after they earn their wings and digivolve.
Todo cleared his throat and recalled the first rule a police officer of the Digimon Squad had to follow after meeting a Digimon he had never seen before.
"Please state your Levels and Digimon names," he said.
Manami smiled. "I'm a ChibiAngewomon, my name is Manami and I am a Rookie."
"I'm also a Rookie," the boy nodded. "I'm a TinyAngemon and my name's Kenji."
"Okay... and where are your parents?"
Kenji shrugged. "Probably at home, watching soap operas and eating tofu..."
"Our parents aren't responsible for us any longer, Mr. Policeman!" Manami smiled. "We are under the protection of the Great Ai, also known as Lucemon."
Taomon gasped sharply while Todo scratched his head. "Lucemon, Lucemon... where did I hear that name before?"
"I can tell you that, Chief!" Taomon grumbled. "It was back in the meeting after we found out about the Demon Lords. Lucemon is a Fallen Angel Digimon, the Demon Lord of Pride!"
"You're wrong!" Manami shouted angrily. "Ai is the sweetest person I know. She only wants to help others."
"Yeah, Ai is cool, that's why we all want to be like her," Kenji nodded. "What's so wrong about that? Don't tell me you don't want to get rid of those guys..." He gestured at the three delusional bank robbers."
"That's not the point!" Todo insisted. "You can't just go out on the street and take the law into your own hands. You are still children, so you might not know... but what you just did is called vigilante justice and against the law."
"Why don't you follow Ai's laws?" Manami smiled. "They are so much better for this world... don't you see? There are always people fighting and stealing and so on... with our help, Ai will make sure that stuff like that doesn't even happen any more."
The chief had heard quite enough. "That's it, you two come down from there! And do something against those guys, this is becoming ridiculous!" He gestured at one of the robbers who was just about to plant a wet kiss on the fire hydrant's top. "Criminals or not, they are still humans and what you are doing to them is beyond dignity.
Manami sighed. "Oh well, I understand... Kenji?"
The TinyAngemon grinned. "Got it, Manami!" And before anyone could stop him, he waved around his little wand.
"No, wait..." Taomon shouted, but it was too late. Three rings of golden light flew at the three bank robbers and encircled them. And in a flash, they changed shape. Todo, Taomon and the Tamers were now looking at a beautiful, teenaged girl in a ballerina costume who was gracefully skipping across the street, a little monkey who was crouching next to a fruit store and ate a banana... and another fire hydrant who was standing directly next to the first one.
Manami giggled. "Now the girl hydrant has a boy hydrant to keep her company."
"Guys, do you see what I'm seeing?" Takato whispered.
"They said Ai is behind this?" Jeri whispered back. "Why on Earth would she do something like this?"
"All right, that's enough!" Todo shouted. "Taomon, bring me those children! Underage or not, we can't allow them to keep on with this insanity."
Taomon didn't like it, but he had no choice. As a member of the Digimon Squad, it was his job to keep the city safe... even from little children. "All right, kids, you heard the chief! You don't want to get into trouble, do you..."
"You can't tell us what to do!" Kenji shouted and stuck out his tongue. "Because Ai's our new boss, so nyeh!"
Taomon sighed. He pulled out one item that was part off the standard equipment of a Digimon Squad member: A digital lasso, used in cases when handcuffs weren't enough or inappropriate.
Taomon looked around the gathered crowd. "Ladies and Gentlemen, what I am about to do is to ensure your security. Those children will not be harmed, I assure you!"
Nobody around him looked like they wanted to object, so he threw his lasso.
Manami and Kenji simply dodged. "Missed me, missed me!" Kenji mocked.
On Manami's face, however, a stern expression had appeared. "Looks like he is a bad man, too. We should teach him a lesson..."
Kenji nodded. "Yeah, and don't forget his boss who made him do this! I'm sure Ai wouldn't want two of her messengers to be caught by anyone..."
Manami spread her wings. "You heard him all, didn't you? He wanted to ensure your security. Maybe they didn't know that what they were going to do is wrong. That's why we won't change their mind this time."
"Yeah, and maybe, we'll change them back, once they realize they were being baaad boys..." Kenji smirked and raised his wand.
"Not again!" Guilmon shouted. "Stop him!"
"What the...?" Taomon gasped. "Kids, stand back! This is a police operation..."
"TAOMON, WATCH OUT!"
Taomon never noticed the pair of glowing rings that was flying at him and his superior officer. He just noticed that something was wrong when Takato came walking up to him and was the same size as he.
"Mr... Mr. Nonaka?" Takato muttered.
"Wh-what happened?" Roshi Nonaka felt his body and realized that it wasn't the same he had been in before.
Terriermon raised an eyebrow. "Looks like a Mini-Renamon to me..."
He was right, the little fox-girl standing in front of them was smaller than Renamon, but she had the same yellow fur. She was missing the purple gloves and the emblems on her legs, her claws were red instead of black and she was wearing pink little bows in her headfur and at the tip of her tail.
"Why a girl again, Kenji?" Manami sighed. "We just wanted to show him how enjoyable it can be as a child..."
Kenji smirked. "What's the matter, I think she's cute."
'Cute?' Roshi thought. 'I can't be cute... I'm one of the Chapions of the Digital World...'
Jeri raised her D-Power. "Fuchsmon," she said. "Rookie Level. Attacks: Diamond Sprinkles and Sugar Rush."
"This is so embarrassing..." Fuchsmon whined. "What if the other guys from the troop see me?"
"What am I supposed to say?" a high voice came from his right. "YOu are not their superior officer, after all."
Fuchsmon turned around and saw a little, brown-haired girl with pigtails, a yellow, frilled dress and freckles in her face.
"Chief?" she wondered.
"Do I look like a police chief to you?" the little girl Todo had become whined. "I'm young enough to be my own daughter..."
"It's your own fault," Manami told them. "You should have left us alone, we're just doing our job."
"But you can't do that! Rules are rules!" Fuchsmon insisted. Jeri couldn't help herself, she had to grin: The tiny vixen looked just too cute when she put her hands on her hips angrily.
"Rules are rules!" Kenji mocked. "Man, even as a little girl, you sound sooo like my Mom..."
"Okay, you had your fun, now turn them back!" Takato insisted. "We know Ai, and she wouldn't like it if you misused your powers like that."
"No chance!" Kenji shouted and stuck out his tongue again. "Make us!"
"Okay, don't say I didn't warn you... TAKATO HYBRID DIGIVOLUTION TO... BLUECERATOMON!"
"GUILMON HYBRID DIGIVOLUTION TO... CERATOMON!"
"JERI HYBRID DIGIVOLUTION TO... CUBMON!"
"They're not playing fair!" Manami whined. "We are the ones that change the others, not the other way around."
"Hey, if they really know Ai, maybe we should ask her what to do with them," Kenji suggested. "In the meantime, they can play with your little kitten..."
"Hey, that's a great idea!" Manami grinned. "Miko, come out!"
And with a fearsome growl, a huge shape came jumping across the street. It was as big as a bus, had a pair of long, curved teeth and sharp claws that were glinting in the sun.
"Oh no..." Fuchsmon squeaked and nervously stepped back. Right now, she looked very much like the scared little girl she was. "A SaberLeomon..."
"I've n-never seen one like this before..." Todo whimpered. The huge shape looming above her made her feel like she would pee her panties every second. "Wh-what level is he?"
Fuchsmon gulped. "M-mega..."
"Have fun!" Manami smirked. "Miko, just play with them a bit, okay? But be careful not to play too rough as you did with your last playmates..."
"Bye now!" Kenji snickered, and the two angels flew off.
SaberLeomon roared loudly and stepped forward. The ground seemed to shake under his massive paws.
"Guys, I hope you all feel like digivolving to Ultra..." Ceratomon gulped. "Because otherwise, I have the feeling we'd be turned into kitty-litter..."
"MANA FLAME!"
"FOX RAVE!"
The saber-toothed lion roared in pain and confusion when two powerful energy attacks hit his face and made him stumble backwards.
Sorceressmon and AuraRenamon landed next to their friends. "Are you all right, guys?" Rika asked. "As soon as we saw the huge Digimon, we digivolved to our Hybrid Ultimate Levels."
"I'm glad you're here!" Terriermon said. "But where's Harmony?"
"She'll come!" Rika said.
SaberLeomon shook his head angrily and in his frustration, bit a lamp pole in half.
"I think you better digivolve as well," AuraRenamon grumbled. "Our little friend there looks like he's getting impatient... what level does he have?"
"H-he's a Mega Level Digimon," Fuchsmon explained.
AuraRenamon looked down at the little fox girl who looked so much like her normal Rookie form. "Who are you?"
"No time for this!" Takato shouted. "Here he comes! Get ready!" He reached for the Digital Stabilizer. "BlueCeratomon Warp Digivolve to... Giganotomon!"
"Cubmon Warp Digivolve to... Sphinxmon!"
"Ceratomon Warp Digivolve to... FlareGuilmon!"
"FLAREGUILMON?" everyone exclaimed in surprise and stared at Guilmon's new Ultimate form.
It was a small, but fearsome, humanoid warrior with red scales underneath a silver armor that encased his whole body except for his hands, feet and fin-like ears. Even his tail was wrapped in a silver sheath. Attached to his arms were a pair of guns that somehow looked like flamethrowers. In addition, a sharp spike of metal was attached to his helmet.
FlareGuilmon looked through the eye slits in his helmet. "Let's do this!" he shouted and brandished his weapons.
Kei ran down the street. "Mom?" she shouted. "Um, I mean, Tanemon? Tanemon, where are you? Come out!"
The adult Lillymon looked across the street with worry. "Damn, I should have never taken my eyes off her... but how was I supposed to know that those angels made her act like a little kid as well?"
"Kei! You've got to take a look at this! Aren't those the cutest shoes ever?"
Kei groaned. This was the sixth time she had to drag her friend away from the shop windows. "Eiko, we have no time for this! My Mom turned into a Tanemon, ran away, and you are looking at adult's shoes? Those won't even fit you when we turn back to normal."
The curvaceous LadyVampimon giggled. "Sorry, but I can't help it... it's almost as if being a grownup forces me to do such stuff."
"That's crazy, if that was the case, I would feel it too," Kei insisted. "We have to..."
When her gaze wandered across the street, she saw a couple of construction workers further down the street. They had taken their shirts off and their six-packs wee glistening with sweat.
Kei gulped. Why was she getting so hot? And why was she so fascinated by the young, muscular, handsome men...?
"Yoohoo!" Eiko waved a pale hand in front of her friend's eyes. "Earth to Kei! Are you still there?"
Kei blinked. "Wh-what? I mean, s-sure I am. Why do you ask..."
Eiko grinned. "What did you just say about not being affected by an adult's mind, eh?"
"Sh-shut up..." Kei blushed. "We have to find my sweet little Tanemon... I mean... my Mom..."
"Say, I have a question," the vampire Digimon asked.
"What?" her fairy friend answered.
"Why don't we just fly? It would be much easier to find your Mom that way. Or even better, why didn't we just use the RPG Maker to find her?"
Kei blinked. Then she grabbed her head and groaned. "I didn't even think of that. Eiko, we... we're starting to turn into NPCs if this keeps up. At this rate, Bio is gonna win. I have to go back to the computer and..."
"Look, isn't that your Mom over there?" Eiko shouted.
Kei looked where her friend was pointing at and gasped. The little Tanemon her mother had turned into was crawling on top of a balustrade... the balustrade of a bridge, high above the street.
"TANEMON! Oh my god, how did she get up there? Young lady, you're going to be in sooo much trouble when we're back home..." Rapidly flapping her leaf-like wings, she took off from the ground and flew over to her mother-turned-infant.
When she saw how Tanemon stumbled, Kei realized she wouldn't make it in time. "MOM, NO!" she cried when the In-Training Digimon fell down from the bridge.
But then, a dark green shape came shooting out of nowhere, grabbed the falling In-Training before she could hit the ground and carried her to safety.
Kei stared when the tall Insect Digimon flew up to her. "I believe this is your daughter, ma'am," he said. "You should pay closer attention to her."
Tanemon giggled happily when she saw her daughter-turned-mother. "Kei!"
"Kei?" the insect warrior asked while handing Tanemon over to Kei. "I have a sister with that name. I'm just going to visit her... I'm from Okinawa, you know? My name is..."
"Stingmon!" Kei gasped.
"That's right! Oh, heh, I guess that's not too difficult to guess. Say... you're a Lillymon, right? Are you maybe, per chance, Miss Asaji?"
"N-no..." she muttered. "I am... I'm Kei."
"I already knew that," Stingmon grinned. "That's quite a coincidence, isn't it? I mean, having the same first name as your foster daughter..."
"You don't understand!" Kei said. "I am your sister!"
