Nikita POV - Real World, Earth, Japan, Tokyo - 2001

  Reading what the Digimon Analyzer tells us about our oppo, Bluon ents, "It is an Adult level, huh... It seems that we have to go all out this time." in response, I smile and ask, "That's right! Bluon, are you ready to finally bee an adult with big sister's help~?"

  Bluon 't help but let out a groan as he ents, "I truly 't uand from where your love for speaking in such a misleading manner es from..."

  In response, I smirk and reply in an ione, "I don't know what you're talking about~"

  At the same time, I bring up my D-Ark, focus my Aura and Magic Power into it, and say, "Get ready, Bluon!"

  I feel the D-Ark absorb my Aura, Magic Power, aions, transform it into Data, and send it to Bluon through our bond, and quickly after that, his body starts to shine as he calls out, "Bluon, evolve...!"

  I watch as Bluon's body grows bigger and transforms, and soon, after his evolution is plete and the light fades away, the newly evolved Adult Digimon reveals himself as he yells, "... Paledramon!"

  Paledramon is a bipedal dragon Digimon with blue skin and red eyes, his head, limbs, and tail are pletely covered ih blue cws aal armbands around his arms along with white bandages around his legs.

  He also has two ice wings with a blue cw at the end, in addition, there is a rge white fur c most of his torso with three white hexagons on the ter of his chest.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]At the same time, as Paledramos used to his new body sihis is the first time that Paledramon actually evolved, I also take advantage of this moment to use the D-Ark's Digimon Analyzer fun that immediately projects a hologram of Paledramon's figure with all the needed information that I quickly start to read, 'Paledramon. Adult Level. A Digimon that evolved from Bluon. Its rge wings of ice allow it to fly at high speed, even in foul weather. ges in temperature due to the enviro no longer affect its body, but when fag hot Digimon such as Meramon, its body will melt just like its Child form, causing its power to decrease. It has a strong sense of camaraderie, so if a Digimon whom it has teamed up with falls into a crisis, it will try to help them ardless of the risks. Its Special Moves are freezing the enemy with its breath (Ice Age), and charging from the sky as if it were a giant block of ice (Meteor Hail). Not bad... Not bad at all...'

  Once he pleted cheg his new body, Paledramon turned his head to look at me, and with a grin, he said in a manlier voice, "Hehe... If before I was simply cool, now I'm handsomely cool! I'm ready to kie serious butt!"

  Hearing that, I smile and reply, "Nope, you are right about some, but very wrong about others! You are handsomely cute! Hihi! Now go and show that Monoon who is the cutest Digimon!"

  In response, Paledramon fps his wings as he starts to rise up and says, "You mean who is the coolest!" then with another fp he rises even higher and at a very fast speed, so fast that he gees a soni that causes Monoon to stop its rampage and warily look around.

  But just before Monoon could locate Paledramon, his voice was heard as he called out his teique name, "Meteor Hail!"

  Quickly following Paledramon's voice is another soni as he charges from the sky as if he is a giant block of ice, crashing into Monoon from above with such force that the ground under Monoon's feet cracks uhe impad gives in f a small crater while also sending gravel and dust flying around.

  But despite Paledramon's strong opening attack, Monoon remains standing even if in pain showing just how strong its defend enduraually are.

  At the same time, the enraged Monoos out a loud wrathful roar as it moves its head to ssh Paledramon with its as hard as diamond horn, luckily Paledramon makes use of his superior mobility to avoid the attad flies away with a single fp of his wings.

  But Monoon's furious offense doesn't end here, as it quickly positions its body so that it faces the retreating Paledramon with a lot mility than its bulky body would suggest, opening its mouth wide while yelling, "Volo Strike!"

  Instantly Monoon spits out a powerful fme shot from its mouth that quickly heads toward the still retreating Paledramon, something that worries me a little as Paledramon as I yell, "Watch out!"

  The reason behind my worry is that while ges in temperature due to the enviro no longer affect his body now that he is at the Adult level, that immediately ges when fag hot attacks like the ohat Monoon just unleashed as they will still cause his body to melt just like its Child form in a hot enviro, causing his power to decrease putting Paledramon in danger.

  In respoo Monoon's attad my warning, Paledramon swiftly dodges the burning fme heading toward him by diving down and nding on the ground, but it seems that this was within Monoon's pn as it started charging toaledramon to spear the foe with its horn as it calls out, "Guardy Tusk!" as soon as it unleashed its Volo Strike.

  Seeing that, I'm about to make a move and cast some spell to help Paledramon, but just before I do that, I notice that Paledramon waits until the st moment to open his mouth wide and call out, "Ice Age!"

  Unleashing from his mouth a bluish breath that envelopes the charging Monoon freezing it into a block of ice together with everything else in its surroundings, then without aation, Paledramon grabs the frozen Monoon and with a fp of his wings, he flies up with it at very fast speed geing another soni.

  Once he is at a high enough altitude, Paledramon dives down toward the ground, gaining more and more speed and momentum as he spins his body, and then, once close enough to the ground, he releases the frozen Monoon sending crashing into the ground with such force that it raises a huge could of dust and gravel that is then quickly dispersed by a single fp of Paledramon's wings revealing that the frozen Monoon was broken into many small pieces by the impact.

  Quickly after that, the broken pieonoon disperse into tless small motes of Data that I gather and serve using a spell so that Jayr turn it bato a Digitama.

  At the same time, Paledramon nds in front of me, and with a deep voice he says, "Fatality! Fwless Victory!" making me sigh and ent, "Aah... Maybe I shouldn't have pyed Mortal Kombat with you... Sub-Zero is really a bad influence for you..."

  Yamaki Mitsuo POV - Real World, Earth, Japan, Tokyo - 2001

  I am finally about to arrive at the location of the test activity of the Wild Ohat we tracked using the tracer a couple of days ago, Shinjuku tral Park.

  At the moment, most of the agents are seg the perimeter of the area, while the specialized personnel is actually studying aing through the radio, "Iigation u the fountain area in Shinjuku tral Park. No traces of anything out of the ordinary so far." which is quickly followed by the operators back at the headquarters who say, "ter aowledges."

  A few mier I also arrive at the ied location, and as I walk around searg for anything that could be of relevance, my mind wanders back to everything that led me here, 'I worked on over projects before but never entered something like this I never ever thought that it could be possible. It isn't out ahat I holy say that I'm one of the smartest people currently w for over. After all, I am the one responsible for designing the Hypnos system, which keeps a stant watch over the Earth's eleiunicatiowork, secretly monit and rec information, and also the ohat acts as se chief to the anization named after my owion. But soon after the creation of this anization, we became aware of those thiing autonomously withiwork, and protocols were immediately established to deal with these faulty "programs" which were given the ame of Wild Ones, as they began to Realize into our World. Those faulty programs are clearly the embodiments of chaos and disorder, a dao humanity and I will do everything in my power to destroy them ond for all!'

  While I'm thinking that, the team tio examihe battlefield as I walk around and unsciously flick open and close the silver Zippo lighter I always carry with me even if I stopped smoking quite some time ago as Reika doesn't like it, especially si helps me fog on what is important and not on my urges that inate from my former bad habit.

  As I look around, I notice quite a few signs of battle all around, from that bent feo that tree that seems to be damaged by what looks like an explosion, which while ing aren't the worst kind of damage I have seen caused by those faulty programs.

  All of a sudden, I notiething stu the ground in the middle of the area, and without aation, I walk toward it as I tio flick open and close the silver Zippo lighter, once close enough, I realize that it is some kind of card.

  I calmly pick it up and start to take a closer look at it, 'Heavy Metal? Isn't this a card for that popur trading card game for kids from Bandai... Digital Monster Card Game if I'm n... What is it doing here of all the pces? Is it ected to the Wild Ones? If so what e does this card have with those faulty programs? Could the wild ones have e in tact with some humans? Are they in danger?'

  While all these questions tio swarm around my mind, I calmly walk bay car to return to the headquarters and study this new clue.

  Jayr POV - Real World, Earth, Japan, Tokyo - 2001

  I leave the Teachers' Louge and start to head toward css 5-2, Takato's css, and more importantly my st css of the day.

  As I arrive in front of the css's door, I easily hear Asanuma as she talks to the students, "... And so, our current standard of living relies heavily owork and ot survive without-"

  But right at that moment, the bell chimes signifying the end of her css much to the joy of the kids.

  In response, Nami lets out a sigh and pins in a very low tohat I still easily pick up, "Why do my lesson pns never go acc to schedule?" before she cheers herself up and says to the css, "That's it for today." which makes the Css Representative shout, "Rise! Bow!"

  Soon after, the doors open and Nami walks out, and greets me before she heads toward the Teachers' Louge to rest and prepare for the css.

  Meanwhile, I don't immediately ehe css but wait outside to give the students a break time of between 5 to 10 mio rest their minds so that I have their full attention for the 45 minutes or so. While waiting outside the , I 't help but focus on what Takato and his friends are talking about while Hirokazu loudly says, "I think I'll pete in this year's tour." followed by aed Takato who adds, "Great! I want to sign up, too!"

  But thea says, "But a lot of strong testants are going to be there." which makes Hirokazu remember something, "Oh, speaking of strong pyers, one of them happens to live around here."

  Curious, Kenta asks, "Huh? Who? making Hirokazu calmly reply, "The Digimon Queen. She got sed p st year's tour."

  In respoo that, Kenta 't help but question, "Someone as strong as that is a girl?" making Hirokazu excim, "You'd better believe it! She uses her Digimon to attack ruthlessly! Even the high school students freak out from her unmerciful assaults!"

  At this point, Takato seems to ee dots as he asks, "About that Tamer?" making Hirokazu focus on him, "What is it, Takato?" as Takato tinues with his question, "Does she live nearby?"

  Slightly fused, Hirokazu replies, "Yeah... I think her school is east of the train station." making Takato fall into deep thoughts as he very likely ects the Digimoitle with Ruki, especially sidering his personal experieh her and Renamon.

  Suddenly, I hear Juri's voice as she ents, "I think tarot cards are a lot cooler." but Kenta quickly ters, "You 't battle with tarot cards! The Card Battle is a man's game!" making Juri ent, "I think that's awfully discriminatory."

  I also 't help but groan a little while thinking, 'Luckily Nikita didn't hear that, she would have likely destroyed the poor Kenta until he became a g mess... That woman is generally good in all kinds of games, but when it es tames she bees a mohe only reason I was able to beat her in the Champions' Challenge was because I was able to limit her sele of cards... in any other time we pyed without any limitation she destroyed me with a long-ass series of ourn-kills and first-turn-kills... and she isn't any worse in the Digital Monster Card Game of this world, as she took quite a liking to it once I introduced the game to her...'

  While I think that, Hirokazu asks, "How about I coach you? Then you pete iour, too, Katou! Steal the Digimon Queen's glory for us!" making Juri respond simply with, "Don't be silly."

  Right after that, some girls call Juri out and they they all walk away from css as they head toward the bathroom together while happily chatting as I tio wait for the time for my lesson to start.

  After my css, the school is over and the students start to rush out like victs happy to leave their prison while I head back to the Teachers' Louo quickly write the css report and lesson pns for my csses.

  After I'm doh that, I leave while greeting my colleges and the rest of the personnel I enter on my way to my parked bike.

  As I'm heading bae, I let out a sigh as I sense something through my ic Awareness and mutter, "e on! 't those kids stay still for a couple of days? Not even my kids are this problematid they literally destroy half of the world with their current powers! Luckily, they are quite close by..."

  I tur aoward a nearby underground parking lot, I stop my bike in front of the west entrand immediately catch the sight of Guilmon running into the parking lot quickly followed by Takato while I sehe presence of both Ruki and Renamon making me ent, "And here it es... Guilmon vs Renamon, Round 2... that girl sure is relentless..."

  I calmly wait outside as I keep my senses focused on what is going on io make sure that nothing too bad happens to both the Tamers and the Digimon.

  I sehat Guilmon and Renamon are already fag oher as Guilmon is once again failing to restrain its more feral instincts, at the same time, I hear Ruki as she expins, "Digimon are drawn to each other. That's because Digimon other than itself exist only to be fought aroyed." making Takato ent, "Well, I don't like that! I don't want Guilmon to fight for no reason!"

  I nod as I agree with him on that while thinking, 'What Ruki just said isly right as while there is some truth in what she said that is only because of their basistin seeking further evolution, it isn't like they o battle and kill each other, or even they want to as many Digimon lives in peaceful unities even in cases like the basic settings of this universe that is a little darker and more ruthless pared to the other parallel universes.'

  While I'm thinking that, Ruki rebuts, "Reason? I'm telling you that there is no reason! This is just what a Digimon does! Renamon will fight with that Guilmon, and then Renamon will evolve. Those are the rules fimon."

  Hearing that, Takato asks with horror in his tone, "You mean you want to absuilmon? I'll never let that happen!"

  Right at that moment, I sehat Guilmon and Renamon started their fight, and notig the same, Takato yells, "Don't do it, Guilmon! Guilmon!!"

  But Guilmo listen to his Tamer and attacks Renamon without hesitation and soon the sound of an explosion is heard as one of Guilmon's fireballs destroys one of the parked cars.

  While the two Digimon are fighting, I notice the figure of Lee with Terriermon as they also head toward the underground parking lot very likely with the i of stopping the fight, they are so focused on their objective that they don't even notice my presence, but they aren't the only ones, as I also sehe familiar presence of another small creature who also reached the underground parking lot, of course, that creature is a Digimon, and more specifically it is Culumon.

  Seeing them rushing inside, I mutter, "If I remember well... things are going to get a bit chaoti the few moments. Maybe it is better that I call one of my Digimon Partners as a backup, after all, being a Tamer be expined more easily thaher option of me being a godly being from another universe..."

  ing to that clusion, I open a portal to my Soulbouory and send a telepathic message to Wormmon, V-mon, and Patamon, asking who among them is ied in making sure that a trio of newbie Digimon and their Tamers don't harm themselves, and soon, Wormmon is the one who jumps out of the portal and nds on my bike while saying, "I'm here, Jayr. Patamon and V-mon thought that I was the best suited to taining those Digimon without harming them... At least that is the excuse they came up with as V-mon prefers spending time in the high-gravity area to train and Patamon prefers spending time watg that new anime you showed him... Jujutsu Taisen or something like that..."

  I nod, smile, aly pat Wormmon's head as I say, "It's fine Wormmon, you know how your brothers be, especially siold them that I only needed one of you to e to deal with this. Thank you for ing, you are absolutely the perfect Digimon for this kind of situation."

  While I pamper Wormmon, I also hear Jianliang as he shouts, "How about you just cut it out already!" catg the attention of Takato who yells, "Lee-kun!" and Ruki who follows up with, "Stop interfering! That small fry of yours is no match for Renamon!"

  In respoo her words, Terriermon ents offended, "How rude! Saying "small fry" is very harsh, you know!"

  After that, Jianliang starts his speech trying to vince Ruki to stop, "Digimoerializing in this world. That's abnormal, you know! It's true that Digimo i World to fight... but that doesn't mean they o do so in the Real World as well!"

  But Jianliang obviously isn't gifted ialk-no-Jutsu teique as Ruki ignores his words and says, "No matter where they are, Digimon are Digimon." then she ands, "Renamon ignore him. Hurry up a it."

  Quickly after that, the voice of Renamon calling out its teique is heard, "Koyosetsu!" followed by Jianliang's voice who yells in panic, "Terriermon!"

  Soon after that, the sound of an explosion is heard as Lee yells, "Terriermon!!" but at the same time, I sense a big influx of Data ing from both Lee's D-Ark and Culumon which then gathers around Terriermon, and Terriermon's voice then follows that as it yells, "Terriermon, evolve...!"

  Terriermon quickly absorbs all the data as its body grows bigger and stronger and then ohe process is plete, it yells, "...Galgomon!"

  At this point, I look at Wormmon and say, "Let's go and make sure that no os hurt by this..." making Wormmon say, "Yes!" before he crawls up my shoulder and I calmly walk toward the underground parking lot.

  As we get closer, the sounds of bullets being randomly fired, cars exploding and the mad ughter of an out-of-trol Galgomon followed by Jianliang who yells, "Stop!" all be clearly heard making Wormmon ent, "Oh my... that Digimon lost trol because the power of its evolution rushed to its head. How it be that careless?"

  Soon after that, we arrive where those sounds are ing from, and are greeted by the sigh of a bipedal gomorph-like e with green fur that has whisker-like markings on its cheeks and a diamond marking on its forehead us halgomon.

  It wears a pair of mini-gun-like gaus with movable extremities on its tips, serving as its "fingers", a pair of D-VI'S 503xx denim jeans strapped firmly by a brow, and also bullet magazines ed around its chest.

  (Image Here - Galgomon)

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Galgomon is standing with its arms spread open and the mini-gun-like gaus still fuming as it looks at the destru it caused while still madly ughing.

  At the same time, Ruki's voice be heard as she reads the Digimon Analyzer, "Galgomon. Adult level. A Beast Man Digimon that evolved from Terriermon and is a Hunter Digimon skilled in hunting. Despite its outward appeara uses attacks of unparalleled accurad its nimble movements to reliably bring down the oppo. Its leg strength is strong enough for it to jump sky-high, and it is also able to spread out its ears to glide. Although it usually has a cheerful personality, it gets out of hand o is angered. It is obsessed with its cherished "D-VI'S 503xx" jeans. Its Special Moves are the vuls on both of its arms (Gatling Arm), aing uhe oppo's bosom, then thrusting up a Gatling Arm from below (Dumdum Upper)."

  While Galgomon is too focused on its evolution-induced madness, Renamo hesitate to jump on it from behind using its sharp cws to scratch Galgomon's fa an attempt to blind it as Ruki ences it, "That's right, Renamo it!"

  In respoo Renamon's attack, Galgomon starts to once again randomly fire from its mini-gun-like gaus destroying more cars and even part of the ceiling that es down causing even more damage, it even almost hit its own Tamer who now hides behind a car while muttering, "This is exactly what I was trying to prevent!"

  Then all of a sudden, Galgomon focuses on Ruki as it points one of its mini-gun-like gaus at her as it slowly steps closer, making Takato panid yell, "Guilmon!"

  Seeing the fear on Ruki's face, the guilt on Jianliang's face, and Takato's panic-stri face, as Guilmon rushes talgomon, I sigh and calmly say, "Wormmon."

  My partner instantly uands my iions and without aation jumps forward while yelling, "Nebaneba !"

  Wormmon spits out threads of a tough, adhesive , which quickly flies talgomon and the nearby Guilmon, hitting them with such force that they are pushed away from their position until they crash against a nearby wall, holding them in pce making Takato excim, "Who!?" while Jianliang ents in wonder, "What a power..."

  At the same time, I step forward and ent, "Oh dear... you guys caused quite a mess here."

  Ruki is still too scared by what just happened and how close she was to dao react, meanwhile, Jianliang and Takato excim in shod surprise, "Pucci-sensei!?" I look at them and with a calm smile I raise my hand and greet them, "Hello there."

  Odyin
