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

  After Sinduramo out a very loud cry and flew away followed by what is very likely a possessed owl, Terriermon and Guilmon do not hesitate to chase after it making their Tamers yell in a worried tone.

  "Guilmon!"

  "Terriermon!"

  But before they run too far away, I step forward and yell, "Wormmon! Stop those two!"

  Hearing my voice, Wormmon nods before he turns to V-mon and asks, "V-Mon! Throw me!" then, V-mo hesitate to grab Wormmon and throw him high in the air in the dire of Terriermon and Guilmon.

  Onon has a clear view, he immediately calls out the name of one of his Special Moves, "Nebaneba !" before he spits out the threads of a tough, adhesive , which quickly flies toward running Terriermon and Guilmon, who at the moment are too focused on Sinduramon to defend themselves, and as expected, Wormmon's teique hits the pair directly pletely restrig their movements as the icks to their bodies and the ground leaving them struggling on the ground as they try to free themselves. All this happens way too fast and leaves Takato and Jianliang stunned for a few seds before they regain their bearing and look at me as I calmly walk toward V-mon, Patamon, Wormmon, Impmon, and Culumon and yell, ""Pucci-sensei!""

  Soowo rush toward me, and looking at the still-bound Guilmon and Terriermon Jianliang asks, "Pucci-sensei, why did you order Wormmon to stop them?"

  Hearing that question, I smile and while ruffling his hair, I expin, "Didn't you tw Guilmon and Terriermon here so that they could rex a little and recover from the stant fighting they went through tely? I feel it is a little terproductive to simply head off to fight a Perfect Level Digimon, even more so when V-mon, Wormmon, and Patamon are present here, are more rested, and easily deal with something at the level of Sinduramon..."

  At this point, V-mon bounces on his feet and yells in aed tohat's right! That's right! You 't have all the fun for yourself! I didn't have a good, exg fight for quite a long time! Patamon! Wormmon! This one is mine! You guys remain behind!"

  I look at the excited V-mon with a smile on my face before I add, "... And apparently they are also very eager to exercise themselves. So leave Sinduramon to us, you guys tio rex and have fun... You all deserve some rest."

  After saying that, Takato and Jianliang look at each other before they look back at me and nod, then Takato says, "Thanks, Pucci-sensei!" followed by Jianliang who adds, "Please, be careful."

  I look at V-mon and say, "Jump on! We will chase after Sinduramon and deal with it before it cause too much chaos."

  Hearing that, V-mo hesitate to jump on my shoulders before I start to run chasing after Sinduramon, of course, at first I move just slightly faster than a normal human, but as soon as I'm out of Takato and Jianliang's sight, I quickly pick up my speed while V-mon holding on my shoulders screams in joy as he enjoys the speedy ride.

  I run with a precise destination in mind as I already know where Sinduramon is heading, the dam located a few kilometers from here, the reason for that is quite clear as the dam tains a hydroelectric power station that is able to produough energy to allow Sinduramon to increase his power to the point it will bee very close to an Ultimate Level Digimon.

  We arrive at the dam at the same time as Sinduramon and its possessed owl, and without wasting any time, V-mon jumps down from my shoulders and yells, "I'm ready! Let's do this, Jayr!"

  Hearing that, I smile, grab my own D-Ark, and start to manipute my Spiral o inputting it into my D-Ark as I say, "It's time to show to this electricity-eating chi what is a real Perfect Level like! Super Evolution!"

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

  Soon after that, the lights faded away as my Digimon fully evolved to his Perfect Level and called out the name of his current form, "... EXV-mon!"

  EXV-mon is a rger and partially meized version of XV-mon, he is a massive blue humanoid dragon Digimon with five sharp bde-like horns, one on its wo in front of two ear-like appendages on his head, and two at the sides of his jaw.

  He has a white chest and jaw, with a thin X-shaped armor on his chest with two marks that remind me of the same X-shaped mark of his Adult Level.

  The yellow V mark on his head expao cover the whole middle area of his head, while two more V marks appeared on his shoulders, his hands became meical cws whose design slightly reminds me of the Z'Gok from the inal Gundam Series with four sharp cws that seem able to pierce through anything and has missile hatches on his palms, his feet are also armored and stly, he has two smaller additional wings bringing them to a total of 4 wings whose color turned a little bit darker than before bee slightly grey.

  Spoiler

  [colpse] Looking at EXV-mon's figure, I 't help but once again remember the information given to me by the Digimon Analyzer the first time V-mon evolved to the Perfect Level, 'EXV-mon. Perfect Level. A Perfect Level Mythical Cyb Dragon Digimon that further enhanced XV-mon's natural power and evolved. The attacks it unleashes using its cyberically enhanced arm arength are tremendous and powerful enough to easily wipe out something the size of the moon without leaving a trace. But despite possessing such destructive power, it is very revered and respected thanks to its strong sense of justice, it is very well known that it will not use that power recklessly and will only fight to protect the weak and to e to the rescue of the Digital World should it fay crisis. Thanks to its four wings and body structure, EXV-mo lose any of its previous speed and agility despite the increase in size and power, in fact, it became even faster. Its Signature Move sists of rotating its cws at a very fast speed to pierce through any obstacle (Drill Punch). Its Special Moves are a powerful energy wave emitted from the "X" pattern on its chest armor (X-on) and firing anic missiles from the hatches on its palms (Desperado Destroyer). In addition, it also send out a high-temperature energy wave from the firing ports on its palms (Desperado Psma).'

  While I'm remembering that, Siduramon looks at EXV-mon as out a loud bird cry before it flies up and unleashes an intense lightning strike from its Bǎo Chǔ which is way too fast for him and hits EXV-mon dead on target shog my Digimon Partner whose body is now enveloped iricity and the ground under his feet cracks uhe impact of Sinduramon attack.

  But before Sinduramon could let out a victory cry, EXV-mon roars back swinging his right arm to disperse the electricity running around his body before he looks back at Sinduramon and yells, "Is this all a Deva is capable of? If it is so, then I'm disappointed because I don't know if you want to harm me ive me a rexing massage... My Tamer's single punch hurts a lot more than what you just used against me."

  In respoo EXV-mon's words, Sinduramo out another bird-like cry before it dived down toward my Digimon, using its weight, the speed of the fall, and the force of gravity to increase the power of its tackle.

  Seeing that, EXV-mon smirks and yells, "Good! Show me what you do!" before he also uses his wings to fly up and rush toward the ining Sinduramon.

  Soowo Digimo and crash in the middle, Sinduramon is using its spherical armor as a bludgeoning on while EXV-mon is using his open-cwed hands to simply push back.

  It is clear that in pure power EXV-mon has the absolute advantage as he is easily pushing Sinduramon back, but the Deva doesn't give up and again unleashes an intense, stant lightning strike from its Bǎo Chǔ at a very cle enveloping both of them iricity.

  But since Sinduramon is a Digimon that feeds oricity, this doesn't harm it and instead helps it recover some of the energy it used which is theo further empower the lighting strike it is unleashing.

  Thanks to that positive feedback the empowered lighting has an effey Digimon Partner who roars in pain and Sinduramon takes advantage of this to push EXV-mon bad soowo crash on the ground raising a big cloud of dust.

  A few moments after that, I hear EXV-mon's voice as it yells, "So you do something if you put your mind to it... Not bad, but not good enough!"

  Soon after he said that a loud impact sound was heard and I saw Sinduramon flying out of the cloud of dust and crash into a nearby wall a few meters away from the point of their crash, but then it quickly dislodged itself from the wall and it tio stare at the cloud of dust that is quickly dispersing showing the figure of a healthy EXV-mon with a tent smirk on his face ready for another exge.

  Seeing that, Sinduramo hesitate to fly up once again with the clear i of repeating the same mahat helped win the previous exge, this time, Sinduramon is flying even higher than before, as he clearly wants to hit harder this time.

  At the same time, EXV-mon remains standing as he looks at Sinduramon flying higher and higher with a fident smile on his face as he mutters, "This time I should actually use a teique instead of simply fighting with pure physical power..."

  While EXV-mon is saying that, Sinduramo waste any more time and quickly starts to dive toward my Digimon Partner while at the same time, it also starts to already unleash lightning from the Bào Chù on its back.

  At the same time, EXV-mon pulls his right arm back as he takes his stao release a powerful punch, and while this is happening the four cws of its right hand close themselves with the tips toug, and quickly after that they start to spin at very fast speed f a drill and after that, he waits for the perfeent to unleash his attack.

  A few moments ter, the opportunity he was waiting for arrives as Siduramon is about to crash against him, and with a smirk on his face, EXV-mon yells, "Drill Punch!" before he unleashes a powerful straight punch with his spinning drill.

  EXV-mon's spinning drill crashes against Sinduramon's spherical armor and pierces right through the armor causing Sinduramon to let out a painful cry.

  Then before Sinduramon could recover, the "X" pattern on EXV-mon's chest armor starts to shine in bright yellow light as it gathers energy, and then EXV-mon yells, "Time to end this! X-on!"

  With that shout, EXV-mon discharges a massive X-shaped golden beam of energy with electricity streaming around it towards the skewed Sinduramon that obliterates the Deva in an instant, leaving behind only a few motes of Data that I quickly gather to form a Digitama that then teleport to the Vilge of Beginnings in my Soulbouory uhe care of Palmon and the Nymphs.

  At the same time, I notice that the poor possessed owl was freed from Sinduramon's influend is now flying away tinuing with her day like nothing happened.

  After Sinduramon is defeated, EXV-mon's body starts to shine and shink until he degees baon, and then, we calmly start to return back to the site of the summer camp where we and the students enjoy the st day before we return back to Tokyo where both the students and the teacher start to fully enjoy their 38 days long summer break.

  Lee Jiang-yu POV - Real World, Earth, Japan, Tokyo - 2001

  I return home after a tiring day at work, remove and hang my coat, and walk into the living room while announg, "I'm home!"

  I see my wife Mayumi, the love of my life, a woman with short brown hair and enting light violet eyes wearing gsses as she is putting some shopping bags in order with our you daughter, Shaog.

  A cute little girl with lightly tanned skin, dark purple hair pulled to the sides in two small pigtails, and dark purple eyes, she is wearing a white T-shirt under a pink gsam-style vest with yellow trimmings, dark purple shorts, white socks, and yellow shoes with white ces and soles

  [colpse]As I untie my ie, my cute daughter runs toward me with a straw hat on her head and cheerfully asks, "Do I look good?"

  I look at her and with a smile, I reply, "You look great." which earns me a big smile from my cute daughter before she rushes back to her mother while ughing, "Hehehe. He said I look good! The strarincess."

  Then I look back at my wife and remembering about the bugs' reports we received today, I call her out "Say, Mayumi..."

  Mayumi looks bad me and replies, "What?" fearing her answer I ask, "Um... did someone from my job call?" but she directly replies, "Nope."

  Hearing that, I let out an internal sigh of relief as I mutter, "I see..." while thinking, 'This means that I was able to patch those strange bugs that appeared in our program... I truly 't uand what is going on tely, the work is behaving in a truly peculiar way with strange bugs, viruses, and other irregurities happening almost daily and from what I have heard from my tacts, my pany isn't the only one in the sector having problems... This is w...'

  While I'm thinking that, my you son, Jianliang es to me and asks, "Um... I ask you a favor?"

  I nod and Jianliang then asks me to analyze a strange card he found on our puter.

  Finding nothing wrong with helping my son with su easy request, we headed to my personal offi my house, and he gave me the card reader o read the card's data.

  I calmly search for the port to ect the card reader to my puter while muttering out loud what I'm doing, a habit I've developed through the years to help me keep focused on what I'm doing, "Let's see, this goes here... I turn it on... That should be OK."

  Then I look at my son and notice the Digimon stuffed toy beside him and 't help but ask, "Isn't time you...?" but then I realize that there is nothing wrong with him being still attached to that stuffed toy, as he is 10 years old and I don't want him to grow up too fast, even more so as he will naturally let it go with time, so there is o force the issue and so, when my son asks, "What?" I simply say, "No, nothing."

  After saying that, I focus bay son's request, and seeing that both the puter and the card reader are ready, I ask, "So whie is it?"

  In response, Jianliang pulls out a Blue Card from his pocket and gives it to me, and quickly after, I i it into the card reader and wait to see what is se about this card.

  After a few mihe puter analyzes the card and a series of codes starts to appear, which makes my son ask, "What is that?"

  I look closer and mutter, "Let's see..." but the more I look at those codes the more familiar they bee, and soon my eyes widen as I reize them as the same codes created by my old friend Shibumi so many years ago, they are much more advahan what I remember, but it is undeniable that the source behind these codes is exactly the same as those written by Shibumi.

  Jianliang notices my ge of expression and asks, "Is something wrong?" but I quickly cover it up by saying, "N-No, it's nothing. It's just a string of meaningless data." making my son ask for firmation, "Really?"

  I nod and say, "Yes." but then uo hold back my curiosity, I ask, "By the way, where did you get it?"

  Jianliang looks at me and replies, "A friend gave it to me."

  Hearing that, I tio look at the string of codes and mutter, "I see..." while thinking, 'This is without any doubt Shibumi's code... what is going on here...? Why is that code in this card...? Does Shibumi have anything to do with it...'

  The day, my mind tio wander around the topic of that card that Jianliang asked me to analyze, even in the evening, while I ractig Tai Chi, I remember the time I spent in my youth w on the creation of Digimon with the Wild Bunch.

  The Wild Bunch was inally a group formed by programming students with the goal of creating artificial intelligender the dire of Professor Rob McCoy at Palo Alto Uy, California.

  The members of that group were Mizuno Gorou niamed Shibumi, Professor Rob Mciamed Dolphin, Rai Aishuwarya niamed Curly, Daisy, Babel, and I whose niame was Tao.

  Rob McCoy's son desighe first Digimon, Mizuno Gorou wrote the code that allowed the Digimon to evolve, Daisy desighe devices that allowed them to unicate with the Digimon, and together we mao create artificial beings with a desire for survival, however, eventually the uy cut the project's funding and sold the designs for the Digimon characters to Bandai who proceeded to make a toy and anime franchise based off of them.

  As I tinued practig, I also remembered that strange enter that I had with that man who told me that one of my old "pymates" still hadn't grown up.

  Even during dihis issue tio bother me, so much that even my son Jianliang notices that something is wrong but when he looks at me, I simply ugh lightly and say, "Haha. N-No, it's nothing."

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

  After the summer camp, I returned bae and passed the few days without ging my routioo much, the only ge was that instead of w at school, I spent the days watg the Baby Digimon in the Vilge of Beginnings, pying with my Digimon Partners, check the Digitama in my D-Ark, or simply returning bay home universe to spend time with my family and friends.

  This tinued until one day, Impmon came to me and told me that he wao see Ai and Makoto again, the reason behind his ge is of course the result of spending most of his time with us, and watg the various Digimon ah us.

  Learning of Impmon's wish to reuh his Tamers, I don't hesitate to apany him to his destination, Ai and Makoto's home.

  On our way there, we enter Jianliang, Terriermon, and Takato who are heading off to the station to tiheir iigation into the Blue Card who found its way into Jianliang's hands.

  Seeing that, Impmon steps in front of me and says, "Hey, hey... Where are you going today?" in respoerriermon jumps down from Jianliang's shoulders and after nding on the ground, looks at Impmon and in a bored tone he says, "It's him again..."

  This upsets Impmon who yells, "What do you mean "It's him again?" Don't get cocky 'cause you got me once during the water fight. You had that ridioron-mon on your side while I was uhe assault of everyone!"

  In respoo that, Terriermon steps forward and asks, "Then, do you want another round?" before he turns to his Tamer and asks, "Hey, we do it, Jian? Even a nearby fountain is fine."

  But soon, Terriermon notices that his Tamer's attention is elsewhere and mutters, "Jian?"

  The reason why Jianliang isn't responding is quite simple, it is because at the moment, a few meters away from us, there is his father, Lee Jiang-yu looking at us with a shocked expression on his face.

  Watg the father-son pair up close, it is clear that Jiangliang is very simir to his father, Lee Jiang-yu is of course much older and taller than his son, has longer hair that is starting to gray, and wears gsses but the other physical characteristics are almost identical, like the skin tone, eyes and hair color and even the shape of their face are very simir, obviously Jianliaures are more delicate but that is mostly because of his young age if one ighat, the two are almost splitting images.

  Soon both Terriermon and Takato also notice Jiang-yu's presend look at him with a stunned expression, meanwhile, Impmon who still doesn't notiything, starts to mock Terriermon, "You really 't do anything without asking permission, you... You have no independence... the worst kind of Digimon."

  At this point, Jiang-yu steps forward and slowly mutters, "A... Digimon? Are you... a Digimon?"

  Finally, Impmon notices his presend is so startled that he is about to attack the man, but I quickly shout, "Impmon! Calm down! What kind of weak Digimos scared by a human surprising him?"

  Hearing that, Impmon calms down and lowers his finger from which he was about to summon a fireball to attack the poor man, then it mutters in a low tohat only I hear, "The kind of Digimon who experienced a sparring with a monster like you who easily kick three powerful Perfect Level Digimon's ass barehanded without breaking a sweat... I mean is he even human to begin with? I still have nightmares because of that torture that he calls training... I swear oime I felt my DigiCore crack..."

  Meanwhile, Jiang-yu tio step forward and mutters, "It really is a Digimon!" then he looks at his son and says, "Jianliang... we have to talk."

  But Jianliang panics, grabs Terriermon, and yells, "Run!" as Takato follows after him while shouting, "Lee-kun, wait!" as his father yells, "Jianliang!"

  Not wanting to waste time with this family drama, I grab Impmon from his red neckerchief and using a bit of sub-lightspeed movements, I move away from this location and closer to the home of Impmon's partners, Ai and Makoto.

  Soon we arrive close to where Ai and Makoto are staying, more specifically on top of a rooftop of a house heirs, and we find the two children pying in the garden of their home.

  Ai is a 4-year-old little girl with lightly tanned skin, brown eyes, and shoulder-length brown hair, which is worn in pigtails with red hair ties, she wears a pink shirt with long sleeves under a wine-colored dress and yellow socks.

  Makoto is also a 4-year-old little boy with light skin, brown eyes, and brown spiky hair, he wears a white shirt with long sleeves under a blue jumpsuit with a red pocket on each side and green socks.

  [colpse]Watg the two kids up close, Impmon starts to get cold feet, but before he sed guess himself, I again grab Impmon from his red neckerchief and without hesitation, I mutter, "Let's do this... Leeeroooooy... Jenkiiins!" throwing him into the garden aiming right in front of the kids, and as he flies, Impmon yells ed, "Jayr you baaaastard!!"

  Soon Impmoly crashes on the ground as I use my Spiral o to soften his impad more importantly to not scare the kids who are now delighted to see him again.

  They promptly pull Impmon inside and start to pamper him with food and drinks, telling him that they got their mom to fix the teddy bear they tore, and that, after they'd realized Impmon had left them because of their selfishness, they had agreed to share everything from then on.

  I watch with a smile Impmon as he enjoys himself with the kids until they get too tired and fall asleep hugging Impmon who watches over them with a tent smile on his face, until suddenly, with a bright light, a D-Ark appears in front of them aly falls between the sleeping Ai and Makoto a sign that they all now uand the meaning of partnership, and seeing that, I calmy retreat bae leaving Impmon with his Tamers.
