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

  I igakato for the moment and focus on the despairing Yamaki who curses out loud, "Damn it!" thearts to punch the crete bridge's railings while yelling, "This means... what I've done- I made a hole for them to e and go into our world freely!"

  After yelling that, the dispirited Yamaki starts to walk away from the bridge as the Digital Field that is enveloping the Tokyo Metropolitan Gover Building keeps expanding swallowing even this overhead bridge that we are standing on, and seeing that, I don't hesitate to chase after him even more so as I sehe rage that is boiling within him and more importantly, that he is going to meet Jianliang who is also heading here.

  Indeed, I soohe two pass each other and stop after a few more steps before they turn around as they reize oher.

  Jianliang looks at Yamaki and excims, "It's you!" but seeing Jianliang and Terriermon makes Yamaki's boiling rage explode as he rushes toward the boy ready to grab him from his colr while yelling, "You guys are to bme!"

  But before Yamaki actually grab Jianliang, I mht o the boy and quickly hold Yamaki's outstretched arm with my hand, stopping him while saying, "I uand that you are upset about your most ret fuck up. But you shouldn't bme the kids for your mistakes... even more so when they are the ones running around fixing your messes."

  At the same time, Jianliang excims in surprise, "Pucci-sensei!" while Ruki and Renamon also arrive.

  At this point, Yamaki looks at me in silence for a few moments before he focuses on Patamon lying on top of my head, Wormmon lying on my shoulder, and V-mon who is tched on my bad whose head peaks over my other shoulder, and ents with venom in his tone, "You also are like those kids? Do you have any idea of what dangerous game you are all pying?"

  I calmly smile and reply, "This isn't a game... not for me aher is it for them. And trust me when I say that I am fully aware of what is happening more than anyone else... Yamaki Mitsuo-san."

  After saying this, I let go of his arm and tio stand in front of Jianliang, Ruki, Terriermon, and Renamon to protect them from another one of his outbursts.

  But Yamaki simply stares at me for a few more moments before he walks away while shouting, "It's your fault! You're the one responsible for disrupting the order of this world!" making Terriermon ent, "How rude."

  Ruki then asks, "Who was that?" making Jianliang answer, "I don't know... but he seems to have something against us and imon."

  After saying that, Jianliang looks at me and ents, "But it seems that Pucci-sensei knows him..."

  I simply wave my hand and say, "This isn't the right moment to talk about that, we have more important things to worry about like dealing with the Digimon behind that huge Digital Field over there. I promise that I'll tell you what you o know after this. Let's go now."

  Hearing that, both Ruki and Jianliang look at each other for a sed before they nod and say, ""Yeah.""

  After that, they all start to run toward the same overhead bridge where I left Guilmon and Takato and I calmly run behind them.

  On our way there, V-mon, who is still tched on my back asks, "Are you sure that we should let them deal with the Digimon on top of that skyscraper? After all, it is a powerful Perfect Level. Even if those three evolve to the Adult Level and fight together there is no way they actually win against it."

  Wormmon lying on my shoulder nods and ents, "I agree, it is quite dangerous. Even if we fight together we actually aren't a match for a true Perfect Level Digimon... At least not if we fight while at the Adult Level." At this point, Patamon who is calmly lying on top of my head snorts and ents, "You guys still don't uand anything. This is a challehat those kids and their Digimon have to face to be able to move forward, and don't fet that from what Jayr said, a parallel version of them already faced aed that Digimon. Sure, that doesn't mean that it won't be dangerous but this is why we are here, to ehat everything goes well."

  While my Digimon are calmly talking among themselves, I hear that Ruki, Jianliang, Terriermon, and Renamon are already preparing a qui of a to deal with the current crisis, and quickly after that, Renamon rushes ahead as it intends to scout the enemy.

  A few moments, ter we arrive at the overhead bridge and hear Guilmon decre as he watches Renamon running up the skyscraper, "I'm going too!"

  But Jianliang rushes forward while yelling, "Wait!" stops o Takato and Guilmon and expins as Ruki and I also arrive, "Renamo ahead to scout the situation."

  Takato notices our presend excims, "Lee-kun! Ruki! Pucci-sensei!?"

  Ruki brings up her D-Ark which is now projeg a dispy that shows a live feed of what Renamon is seeing at the moment.

  After a few moments, Renamon finishes running up the wall of the Tokyo Metropolitan Gover Building, reaches the top of one of the two towers that are iic to this building, and starts to look around, but all we see at the moment through the live feed is only the empty roof.

  Jianliang and Takato lean closer to see better, but seeing nothing, Jianliang asks, "There is nothing there?" followed by Takato who ents, "But the Digital Field is up."

  Ruki suddenly raises her hand and says, "Wait!" and soon a figure is seen stepping into Renamon's field of vision making Ruki excims, "There is it!" but then Ruki ents shocked, "What's up with this guy? I'm not getting its data! What kind of Digimon is it?"

  I also lean closer to take a look and see a wiiger Digimon with purple stripes and three horns, it wears a red scarf, purple spiked shields with bonji on its shoulders and thighs, and purple bracers on its legs, then I ent, "That is Mihiramon. A Perfect Level Digimon."

  (Image Here - Mihiramon)

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Hearing that, Takato, Jianliang, and Ruki excim in perfect sync, "Perfect Level!?"

  At the same time, Terriermon jumps down from Jianliang's head and as he nds on the ground, he turns around and says, "I'm going, Jian. You'll let me evolve, right?" to which Jianliang replies with a nod and a direct, "Yeah."

  But soon, Ruki decres, "No, Renamon ha." then she runs closer to the Tokyo Metropolitan Gover Building while yelling, "She evolve now!"

  Hearing that, I 't help but raise an eyebrow while thinking, 'She said "She"... does that mean that now that their bond grew stronger Renamon started to identify itself as a female instead of genderless like before... oh woe me... I already feel the Rule 34 artist starting to move...'

  While I'm thinking that, Takato calls out Ruki and throws a card at her while yelling, "Ruki! Use this evolution phase card!"

  Ruki grabs the card and starts to swipe it in the slot on the right-hand side of her D-Ark while yelling, "Card Ssh!" once she pleted this a, she calls out the name of the card she just swiped, "Super Evolution Plug-In S!"

  At the same time, from the distahe voice of Renamon is heard as she yells, "Renamon, evolve...! ... Kyubimon!" followed by Ruki who looks up and sees a blinding light illuminating the top of the skyscraper, she yells, "Go, Kyubimon!"

  Soon the fight between Kyubimon and Mihiramon starts as the two Digimon cross one another before Kyubimon unleashes her most powerful attack the Koenryu as she creates a burning dragon out of blue fmes from her tails with the i of iing the enemy.

  Still, Mihiramon runs straight through the burning dragon unharmed.

  Once close enough, Mihiramon separates its tail into three nunchaku-like ses and strikes Kyubimon with it which sends the fox Digimon flying out of the roof.

  At the same time, Ruki notices that something is wrong and mutters, "Kyubimon?" followed by Takato who sees Kyubimon flying out of the bounds of the rooftop and excims in shock, "No way!"

  Soon, Kyubimon's body briefly shines before it shrinks as she degees back to Renamon as Mihiramon's single blow caused way too much damage putting Renamon out of bat.

  Then as Renamon starts to fall, Terriermon rushes forward while yelling, "Jian, I'm going!"

  Jianliang the hesitate t out his D-Ark and starts to swipe a card in the slot on the right-hand side of his D-Ark while yelling, "Card Ssh!" once he pleted this a, he calls out the name of the card she just swiped, "Super Evolution Plug-In S!"

  Immediately after that, Terriermon's body starts to shine and grow bigger as he yells, "Terriermon, evolve...! ... Galgomon!"

  Once he pleted his evolution, Galgomo hesitate and calls out the name of his Special Move, "Dum-Dum Upper!" as he fires bullets from the vuls on both his arms, before he pces both arms on the ground and with an explosion he makes innovative use of his massive firepower to reach the top of the building while yelling, "Go!"

  As Galgomon rises up the building, the defeated Renamon is also quickly falling down, and seeing that, Patamon jumps off my head and yells, "Jayr!"

  Hearing that, I immediately uand what he wants and without aation, I grab my own D-Ark and start to manipute my Spiral o inputting it into my D-Ark, and say, "Got it!"

  I feel the D-Ark absorb my Spiral o aions and transform it into Data, sending it to my Digimon Parthrough our bond, and in response, Patamon's body starts to shine in the light of evolution and grow bigger as he calls out, "Patamon, evolve...!"

  Shortly after that, the lights fade away as my Digimon fully evolves to his Adult Level and calls out the name of his current form, "... Angemon!"

  Then the angel Digimon quickly flies and grabs Renamon before she crash on the ground, then he tio rise up until he reaches the top of the building befalgomon, giving him a brief glimpse of the Perfect Digimon, which gives me the ce to use the Digimon Analyzer and see if my sing is also blocked.

  But soon the image of Mihiramon staring back at Angemon is projected from my D-Ark and after that, the wiiger Digimon's information appears quickly after, 'Mihiramon. Perfect Level. One of the "Deva Digimon", it is a Perfect Digimon with a form resembling the Tiger. As a follower of the Four Holy Beasts Digimon Qinglongmon, it is the biggest ruffian among the Deva, though it is also a brilliant tacti that specializes in reading the terrain. With its tremendous speed, faster than the wind when rag across the nd and quicker than a sound when s through the sky on its two wings, it runs down the oppo. In battle, it cuts the oppo apart with its sharp fangs and cws, and it has mastered the "Bǎo Bàng", which is its tail transformed into an octagonal three-se staff. Its Special Move is striking the ground with the Bǎo Bàng, geing a shock wave over the surrounding area (Vimohana)... Indeed, I once again firmed that I'm not affected by the same limitations of the kids thanks to my superior power and status.'

  While I'm thinking that, Angemon flies back with Renamon in his arms aly lies her on the grouo a worried Ruki who yells, "Renamon!"

  At the same time, Takato looks at my evolved partner and excims, "Woah! A real Angemon! How cool!"

  In respoo Takato's admiration, Angemon, who despite having evolved to the Adult Level is still my Patamon inside, spreads his arms wide and with a smile on his face he decres as his body glows in a holy light, "Yes, bask in the glory of the handsome presence of the Angel of Culture. The one who will save all the damsels in distress and charm beauties the likes- Ouch!"

  But before he could tinue, V-mon jumps from my bad hits the back of Angemon's head with a dropkick while yelling, "We don't have the time for that now!" and Angemon easily degees back to Patamon before he flies bad nds on top of my head while snickering as Takato snaps back to reality.

  While all this is happening, Renamon looks at the worried Ruki and says, "He is strong... Just like that man said... he is at the Perfect Level... No, maybe even at the Ultimate Level..."

  Hearing that, Ruki mutters, "Ultimate?" but soon V-mon shakes his head and says, "No, that isn't possible. Mihiramon is for sure a Perfect Level Digimon, a powerful ohout a doubt, but Perfect Level heless..." followed by Wormmon who adds, "From what I know an Ultimate Level Digimon is a lot more powerful than what I sense from Mihiramon..."

  Meanwhile, Jianliang is now looking at his own D-Ark which is now projeg a dispy that shows a live feed of what Galgomon is seeing at the moment, and mutters, "I still 't get his data... Just what is happening there..."

  At the same time, Takato is now looking at the defeated Renamon lying on the ground as Ruki watches over her and mutters, "R-Renamon was beaten so easily..."

  Through my senses, I immediately realize that the fight between Galgomon and Mihiramon started as Mihiramon is now calmly Galgomon studying his movement and waiting for the best opportunity to strike just like an experienced predator.

  Then the sound of Galgomon shooting with his vuls is heard and Jianliang runs closer to the Tokyo Metropolitan Gover Building while yelling worried, "Galgomon!"

  He stops as he looks up ahe figure of Mihiramon jumping over the other tower of the building and excims, "What was that?" then he again looks at his D-Ark that is projeg a dispy that shows a live feed of what Galgomon is seeing at the moment and mutters, "I don't know what cards to use if I 't tell what type he is!"

  Right at this moment, Mihiramon takes advantage of the dust cloud geed by Galgomon's attap dowower and fly unseen by its prey back to the talgomon is standing, and seeing that, Jianliang excims, "He went around! He is behind you!"

  But it is too te as Galgomon is now out of ammo leaving him exposed to Mihiramon's attack who once again separates its tail into three nunchaku-like ses and strikes Galgomon with it which sends the pimon flying out of the roof as he degees back to Terriermon.

  Seeing that, Guilmo hesitate to run toward the Tokyo Metropolitan Gover Building while yelling, "I'm going! I'm going to evolve!"

  In respoo that, Takato hesitates for a few seds before he also grabs his D-Ark and starts to swipe two cards in the slot on the right-hand side of his D-Ark oer the other while yelling, "Card Ssh!" once he pleted this a, he calls out the name of the card she just swiped, "Super Evolution Plug-In S! White Wings"

  Immediately after that, Guilmon's body starts to shine and grow bigger as he yells, "Guilmon, evolve...! ... Growmon!"

  After evolving to the Adult Level, Growmon is briefly equipped with a set of wings that let him fly up the building as Terriermon is falling down, but this time, her my Digimon nor I have to make a move as Jianliang runs and catches the falling Terriermon without any problem, showing a lot more athleticism and physical dition that his age would allow, nothing toe sidering that Jianliang is the only one among the three kids that is actually a training in real martial arts as I clearly see the traces of the Tai Chi martial arts in his movements.

  Takato looks more and more worried as he looks at the defeated Terriermon in Jainliang's arms and mutters, "Terriermon was beaten too..."

  Terriermon soon whispers something to his Tamer and once he hears what his Digimon has to say, Jianliang looks at Takato and yells, "Takato-kun! Our enemy always looks around first before it attacks! There's your ce!"

  Hearing that, Takato nods and says "O-Okay!" before he brings up his D-Ark which is now projeg a dispy that shows a live feed of what Growmon is seeing at the moment and waits for the right moment to act, and ohat moment arrive he immediately yells, "Growmon! Go!"

  In respoo his Tamer's inputs, Growmo hesitate to develop psma along the bdes on his elbow, then sshes Mihiramon with it, unleashing a devastating Psma Bde, that is only able to push the wiiger Digimon a few steps back without dealing any signifit damage, then Growmon follows up with an Exhaust Fme as he spews out a powerful bze with a roar, but again it isn't enough to stop the mighty Mihiramon who walks through Growmon's fmes and bites Growmon on the shoulders.

  At the exact same time, Takato suddenly grunts in pain as he lets go of both his D-Ark and the cards that fall on the ground and starts holding his own shoulder before he kneels and looks down at the projected image of his D-Ark whiow finally shows the results of the Digimon Analyzer and mutters, "Mihiramon... Perfect Level..."

  Quickly after saying that he falls unscious on the ground making a worried Ruki excims, "What's wrong?" followed by Jianliang who yells, "Takato-kun!"

  I calmly look at the unscious as Patamon mutters, "He did it... It's Power of Friendship time!" followed by Wormmon who ents, "His bond with Growmon finally grew strong enough to reach the level... but will he be able to ehe strain?"

  Hearing that, I say with fidence, "Yes, now that this happened I have the plete trust in Takato and Growmon..."

  After saying that, I walk toward Ruki and Jianliang who are croug over the body of the unscious Takato, and reassure them, "Don't worry about him... He will wake up soon, this is just the result of Takato and Growmon's bond growing even stronger, and the beginning of something spectacur..."

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

  I suddenly feel myself in a strange po matter where I look, all I see is a dark purple color and what looks like something that reminds me of clock dials with hands spinning around at different speeds, it is very fusing, so much that I only mutter, "Where am I?"

  I again feel a very sharp pain ing from my right shoulder and cry out, "Ouch..." then I ent out loud, "When Growmon got bit on the shoulder, I felt it, too..." but suddenly, I hear a familiar voice calling out, "Tamer..."

  I turn around and see Growmon's figure who says, "Tamer. I did my best." but I immediately notice that something is wrong with him as a part of his right half is pletely bd distorted making me excim, "G-Growmon!"

  Taking a closer look at his state, I realize what is the meaning behind his current state and mutter, "But we still lost..."

  Growmon tio look at me and says, "Tamer, let me fight more." which makes me hesitate, "But..." but Growmo let me finish and decres and requests, "I... haven't... lost yet! I still fight... I want to fight more, Takato! Let me fight more and more, Takato! You're my Tamer, aren't you?"

  Hearing those words, I remember the defeated figures of both Renamon and Terriermon and the fear I felt, and with tears in my eyes, I yell as I hold my head with my hands, "I'm a Tamer... but I... Growmon! I've... I've been such a coward! I haven't grown a bit as a Tamer! That's why you got hurt!"

  After yelling that, I push myself trowmon and yell, "It's all my fault! Growmo's fight... Let's fight once more! Together!"

  I then move to grasp Growmon's cw, but then I realize that it is strangely softer than it should be, and opening my eyes, I realize that I'm lying on the ground holding the hand of the cute, familiar figure of Culumon and mutter fused, "Culumon?"

  The cute Digimon smiles at me and ents, "You are very eic, culu." followed by Lee-kun's voiing from beside me who asks, "Thank god! Are you alright?"

  I look at him in fusion as I hear Ruki's voiing from the other side yelling, "You fainted out of nowhere and had us all worried!" followed by Pucci-sensei who says, "I already told you guys that he was fine..."

  Before I say anything else, I hear the sound of what seems like several maeguns shooting, and looking up, I see three military helicopters shooting at Miharamon on top of the building, but soon they are pushed away by a shockwave and hear Lee-kun ent, "They are still at it... Guns won't wainst it!"

  In respoo that, Ruki asks, "But what else we do? Even Growmon has lost..."

  Hearing that, I slowly get up while still enduring the same pain that Growmon is feeling and say, "He hasn't lost yet! We 't afford to lose anymore! Not Growmon and... not me!"

  After saying that, I grab my D-Ark and my cards, and one among them starts to shine in a blue light while I'm saying, "We 't allow ourselves to think that we'll lose! A Tamer... must never show weakness!"

  Then seeing the card ge before our very eyes, Lee-kun excims, "A Blue Card..." followed by Ruki who repeats, "A Blue Card..."

  I get up holding the glowing Blue Card and say, "As long as the Tamer still stands... the fight isn't over!"

  After saying that, I raise the Blue Card and start to swipe the Blue Card in the slot on the right-hand side of my D-Ark while yelling, "Card Ssh!" once I pleted this a, I yell out the words that mysteriously appeared in my mind after I swiped the Blue Card, "Matrix Evolution!"

  Quickly after I feel ected to my Digimon Partner like never before as I sense feeding him some kind of energy through my D-Ark, and at the same time, I hear Growmon yell, "Growmon, evolve! Megalo Growmon!"

  Before I see Mihiramon being pushed out of the rooftop f it to fly betweewo towers of the building, at the same time, Lee-kun behind me ents, "He evolved..." followed by Ruki who adds, "To the Perfect Level..."

  At the same time, I ence my partner while also introdug him to my friends, "Go! Megalo Growmon, Perfect Level Cyb Digimon!"

  Soon Megalo Growmon starts to fight against Mihiramon once again as our enemy uses its tail to attack us relentlessly, f us to defend, block, and endure all its attacks.

  I also feel the impacts of those attacks in my body, but while they hurt a lot, I also feel that I ehem.

  I ignore Lee-kun and Ruki's worried voices and fully focus on ht while muttering as I talk to my parthrough our bond, "I feel... your pain. I won't take aep back. I've e past the point of urn..."

  I suddenly feel arong impa my chest, but I and Megalo Growmon already braced ourselves for it and quickly took advantage of this st attack to take hold of the enemy's tail as I tinued, "Because... because I'm your Tamer."

  At the same time, I heard Megalo Growmon call me, "Takato!" which I followed by an immense burst of energy as he prepared to unleash his Special Move, and so, we called it out at the same time, ""Atomic Bster!""

  I watch with a smile as the bright red beam of energy released by Megalo Growmon paints the sky above us while destroying our eo the atomic level.

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

  While riding on the helicopter trying to elimihe threat, I 't help but wat disbelief as the Wild One is destroyed by the bright red energy beam unleashed by that red monster, so much that I 't help but ent, "The creature that I brought into this world... was destroyed by some children... who think it's nothing but a game?"

  But then the words of that stranger e to my mind and I 't help but start sed guessing myself, "Maybe I'm wrong about them..."
