Within an office-like room there were two people, with one sitting behind a desk as the other stood before them and were having a discussion, but even though could properly be seen the one standing clearly wasn't happy.
"You can't do this to me!" A male voice stated, as they slammed their fists on the desk, before they stated furiously. "I'm the greatest champion you've ever had!"
"Not any longer. You're yesterday's news." The character in the chair replied in a dark male voice, before his chair revolved 180 degrees and he was now facing a large television screen, before he then pulled out a small remote, pressed a button on it, which turned on the TV, in which a typical metallic gold colored robotic henchman, with a red visor for eyes appeared on the screen and asked in a loyal and robotic tone. "Yes, sir?"
"Find me some new blood, the freshest you can. I want warriors of unbelievable might and power." The man in the chair ordered, in which the robot replied, as it saluted. "Right away, sir."
Hearing that they were being replaced and being ignored pushed the guy too far, in which they pulled out a gun and told the man in the chair aggresively. "Alright, no more games. It's time to end this!"
However, the man in the chair seemed unfazed by the fact that behind him was a bullet with their name on it, in which he replied in a sly tone. "I couldn't agree more."
The man in the chair then pressed another button on his remote, in which the gun wielder fell to the ground in pain and asked in a confused tone, as he clutched his chest. "What...ugh, what's going on?"
"Did you really think I'd let my champion do as they pleased?" The man in the chair asked in a cunning tone, which caused the other person to question. "What are you...saying?"
"What I'm saying is that hidden within your uniform were thousands of nanobots, which I just activated to dig into your skin and inject a toxin throughout your entire body." The man in the chair replied, before he stated cruelly. "Consider this your 'retirement'."
"You won't get away with this forever...someone...will stop you." The man on the floor said, before he closed his eyes, as the toxin ended his life, but it was then the man in the chair let out a amused laugh, before he stated, "I'd like to see them try. I am the owner of 'Death Zone' and I make the rules here. No one can stop me!"
It was then the screen on the TV turned back on and the robot said. "We have found suitable candidates for you, sir."
"Excellent work SK-5." The man complimented, before he commanded. "Now bring me the new 'entertainment'."
-Sometime later in Heartland City-
It had been three years since Yuma Tsukumo had defeated Vector and the shapeless monsters, the Barians, ever since then he had been continuing his mission to obtain the Numeron Code, along with his Dueling Spirit friend, Astral.
Currently in an alleyway, Tori and Bronk were congratulating Yuma as he had just won a duel against another person, unfortunate enough to be manipulated by the Barians, but his celebration was cut short when a dark red portal appeared beneath Yuma and Tori's feet, which they fell into.
However, Bronk managed to grab Yuma's right hand with his right hand and Tori's right hand with his left, as he began to try and pull them out of the red hole of unknown darkness.
"Bronk let me go and save Tori." Yuma called out. Bronk shook his head and replied. "No way, Yuma. It's both of you I'm saving, you got it?"
It was then Astral appeared beside Bronk and thought out loud. "Observation number one: When a friend has a decision to either risk themselves and save two friends or decrease their own risk and increase the chances to save only one friend they choose the first option."
"Hey, either help me or stop yapping!" Yuma yelled out in an annoyed tone. Bronk snapped back. "Hey, I'm trying my best!"
"Not you, Bronk." Yuma said, before he called out as he, Tori and Bronk were pulled within the portal. "I meant Astrallll!"
It was then Bronk was thrown out of the portal and landed painfully on his stomach, but there was no time to whine, as he quickly turned around and was shocked to see that the portal had disappeared, leaving him all alone, apart from the Dueling spirit he couldn't see, which then commented. "Observation number two: I no longer sense Yuma's life force within this world, but that doesn't mean he or Tori are truly gone." 
-Meanwhile, in Odaiba-
It had been four years since the Digidestined were able to take down one of the greatest evils ever known, MaloMyotismon, and there had been big changes that had affected all the Digidestined's lives, most notable was the fact that Jun had become a Digidestined.
Several months after Imperialdramon Paladin Mode had plunged the Omni Sword into Armageddemon's head, releasing all the Kuramon inside, only to be sealed within the blade itself, defeating the wicked Diaboromon once and for all, Jun received her own Digivice, just like the older Digidestined's, and her own Digimon partner, a unique silver fox Digimon with four tails that had white tips, better known as Silvermon and knowing the seriousness and responsibility of being a Digidestined, the cute boy chasing teen changed her ways.
And through bonding with her own Digimon and the others, befriending the Odaiba Digidestined and various battles against troublesome Digimon that the Digidestined accepted Jun into their group, none of them saw Jun as an annoying fan girl anymore, but a good friend and a valuable member of the Digidestined, including Matt, who now saw her as a smart and beautiful young woman.
And it was after Jun told Matt that she still loved him, Matt told Jun that he had fallen for her too, then they realized the love they had for each other and made love that night.
The following week Jun and Silvermon moved out of their old home so she could be closer with her new boyfriend and in turn, Gabumon and Silvermon's feelings for one another increased and the pair eventually mated.
Meanwhile, Sora was happy that Matt and Jun had fallen in love, as the Digidestined of Friendship and Love broke up prior to Jun becoming a Digidestined, but they remained friends.
And shortly after their break up, Tai admitted his true feelings to Sora, who admitted that she loved Tai back and after a passionate night, the Digidestined of Courage and Love became boyfriend and girlfriend, and just like Gabumon and Silvermon, Agumon and Biyomon realized that they loved each other, regardless that they were different Digimon species and mated too.
While the lives of the Digidestined of Knowledge, Reliability and Sincerity remained relatively the same; the younger Digidestined had changes in their lives, practically the Digidestined of Light and the Digidestined of Courage and Friendship.
Kari had fallen in love with Davis several months ago, over the time she spent as Digidestined, working beside her friends, brother and the Digidestined of Courage and Friendship to protect the Real World from the forces of evil, she had seen just how wonderful a person Davis truly was. To her, Davis was brave, strong and was the kind of guy to never give up, even when things looked their darkest.
And just as Davis had managed to summon up the courage to take on whatever stood in his way, Kari did the same and told Davis she had fallen for him and wanted to be his girl, which made the Digidestined of Courage and Friendship very happy to hear that, as his love for Kari would never perish, which was the same for Gatomon and Veemon.
While the feline Digimon knew that Veemon wasn't the smartest Digimon in the Digital World, she looked past his faults and knew that just like Davis, could see the blue lizard Digimon was brave, kind, selfless, strong and determined to make sure those he cared about were safe and it was those qualities that made Gatomon see that he was an ideal mate for her, while the Digimon of Courage and Friendship continued to see the Digimon of Light as a smart, beautiful, graceful and flawless Digimon whatsoever, then the pair eventually gave into their feelings and mated.
Meanwhile, the leader of the younger Digidestined, Davis, who over the years had really matured, up to the point where he would try to reason with his enemies first, stopped getting into arguments with Yolei and most surprisingly called T.K by his proper name.
Not only had Davis matured mentally, but physically as well, thanks to the hours he would spend playing soccer with Ken, Tai, Veemon, alone or with anyone he could find who was willing, he was in terrific shape and his body was well developed, which Kari found very attractive.
And Davis's dream of opening his own noodle cart was slowly becoming a reality, as the Digidestined of Courage and Friendship had been employed by Digitamamon to work at his restaurant.
At first, Davis had to do minor jobs, such as cleaning tables and washing dishes, but soon Digitamamon allowed him to do some actual cooking, a decision the mysterious creature within his egg shell that was Digitamamon felt was wise, as the teen showed true potential to become an excellent chef, so he took the Digidestined of Courage and Friendship under his wing, so to speak.
And after teaching Davis all he could about cooking, it wasn't long until the student surpassed the master, when the Digidestined of Courage and Friendship presented Digitamamon with a bowl of noodles, which the walking Digi-Egg found unbelievably delicious and wanted to serve Davis's noodles to the Digimon public, which Davis agreed to.
And it wasn't long before Digitamamon's restaurant was serving Davis's noodles, which he named the 'hero's special', which was a huge success, and with all the Digi-dollars Davis had earned, he would always treat his friends to meals whenever they were in the Digital World together, and soon, not only did the Digidestined of Courage and Friendship become Digitamamon's best chef, he and Veemon became his best customers.
Currently within Digitamamon's restaurant all the Digidestined and their Digimon partners, except for the Digidestined and Digimon of Courage and Friendship, who were in the kitchen washing the dishes, were happily talking to each other, mostly commenting on how good Davis's skills at cooking were, but were interrupted when the sound of dishes smashing onto the floor perked up their ears. They quickly went to the kitchen and were shocked and confused to see Veemon holding onto Davis's hand as he was being pulled into what looked like a dark red wormhole.
"Davis!" Kari called out in a horrified tone, as her beloved was sucked within the void alongside Veemon, who could've let go to save himself but wasn't the kind to abandon his best friend, before Gatomon asked in a concerned tone, "Where did they go?"
But before anyone could respond, similar portals of dark red energy appeared beneath the feet of the Digidestined and Digimon of Light and they disappeared into the same darkness Davis and Veemon had fallen into.
-Around the same time at Duel Academy-
It had been two years since Jaden, Alexis, Syrus and Chazz had graduated from Duel Academy, and though they pursued different paths they continued to remain great friends, particulary Jaden and Alexis.
-Flashback-
Shortly after the graduation ceremony to see the third year students off and while everyone is attending the graduation after party. Jaden followed Winged Kuriboh to the room where a replica of Yugi Muto's deck was being stored and inside Jaden finds none other than 'The King of Games' waiting for him and sends Jaden back in time to face him in a duel to test his skills.
During the duel Yugi and Yami agreed that Jaden was indeed a worthy Duelist. However Jaden found himself in trouble when Yami used Dark Renewal in combination with the effect of his Mystical Refpanel to take control of Jaden's Code Change and used that to summon Slifer the Sky Dragon from his graveyard and destroyed Elemental Hero Neos, leaving Jaden with 1000 life points. However, Jaden refused to give up and played his own Card of Sanctity. Drawing six new cards, three of which were traps, which he sent to the graveyard to summon Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, which received 1000 attack points for every trap card in Jaden's graveyard and since Jaden had six, Uria's attack rose from 0 to 6000 and when Yami asked Jaden how he got such a powerful beast and was able to control it's power, Jaden replied "It's a long story."
After Jaden fused his soul with Yubel's, Yubel gave Jaden the Sacred Beast cards, telling him that with the power of the Supreme King, he was the only human who could control them, without any negative consequences and when Jaden returned from the Duel Monster's Spirit World he tried to give the cards back to Chancellor Sheppard. However he told Jaden to keep them, because he believed it would be safer to give them to the only duelist who was able to defeat the Sacred Beasts twice, instead of locking them away underground.
Jaden then revived Elemental Hero Bladedge with Monster Reborn and used Gift of the Martyr to sacrifice and transfer Bladedge's attack points to Uria, boosting Uria's attack to 8600. Jaden then attacked Slifer the Sky Dragon, thinking he had won; however Yami discarded Kuriboh from his hand to stop any battle damage he would have received from Uria's Hyper Blaze attack. Jaden then ended his turn and the effect of Gift of the Martyr wore off, returning Uria's attack points to 6000.
Yami then drew the exact card he needed to complete his hand and win the duel. First he played his own Monster Reborn to bring back Slifer the Sky Dragon, next he used the spell card Spider Web to take Jaden's Monster Reborn from the graveyard and used it to resurrect Elemental Hero Bladedge to his side of the field and to end the duel, Yami sacrificed all three monsters to summon The Winged Dragon of Ra, which gained the attack of the sacrifices used to summon it, Dark Magician 2500 Elemental Hero Bladedge 2600 and Slifer the Sky Dragon 3000, giving The Winged Dragon of Ra 8100 attack points. Yami won the duel when Ra destroyed Uria with it's Blaze Cannon attack. The force of the attack was so strong, it sent Jaden back several feet.
When the holograms faded, Yami went up to Jaden and as he helped him up, asked him if he was alright in a concerned tone. Jaden began to laugh in response, saying that duel was one of the most fun he had ever had and was proud that he was able to take down an Egyptian God and that 'The King of Games' needed two Egyptian Gods to defeat him.
Yami shook Jaden's hand before they parted ways.
After Jaden left, Yugi asked Yami what he thought of Jaden. Yami replied, "That Jaden was a strong, confident and noble duelist, who had the spirit and potential to one day become 'The Second King of Games'."
Meanwhile with Jaden, he was walking down the street, trying to figure out a way to return to his timeline. It was then Winged Kuriboh appeared beside him and began to glow brightly, but before Jaden could say anything the brightness intensified and Jaden blacked out. 
"Jaden? Jaden, can you hear me?" A familiar voice asked in a concerned tone. Jaden let out a small groan and when he opened his eyes, he saw Chancellor Sheppard was kneeling beside him and he was back in the room where Yugi's deck was stored.
"Jaden, what were you doing here and what happened?" Chancellor Sheppard asked, as he got up and helped Jaden up.
"Trust me. Even if I did tell you, you wouldn't believe me." Jaden replied in a humorous tone, before he asked seriously. "By the way, how did you know I was here?"
"Call it a hunch." Chancellor Sheppard replied with a smile, before he told Jaden in a serious tone. "But I have something important I wish to discuss with you. Please, follow me." Jaden did as he was asked and began to follow Chancellor Sheppard back to the main building of Duel Academy.
Inside Duel Academy, we see that Jaden and Chancellor Sheppard walking down the hallway, past his office, until they come across a locked door which Jaden was curious about, not knowing what was inside or knowing anyone who did. 
"So, what's the deal with this locked door?" Jaden asked curiously.
"Jaden, you are by far the best duelist I've seen in years. I want you to become the head of the Slifer Red Dorm and this is your office." Chancellor Sheppard replied, as he held out a gold key, with a Slifer Red colored key fob that had 'Property of Jaden Yuki' written on it.
"What? Are you asking me to become a teacher?" Jaden asked in a surprised tone, before he said. "In case you haven't seen my grades, I don't think I'm the right man for the job."
"Nonsense. You have something that can't be taught in a classroom and that is spirit! And with that spirit, along with your determination to never lose, I know that you can and will encourage your students to do the same. Besides, you don't have to teach the students facts or give them written tests, just look out for them and teach them about the experiences which made you into the duelist you are today." Chancellor Sheppard replied, before he asked. "So, Jaden. Will you take up my offer?"
"You bet." Jaden replied cheerfully, before he shook Chancellor Sheppard's hand and said seriously. "I won't let you down, sir."
"I knew I could count on you, Jaden." Chancellor Sheppard said, before he began to walk off leaving Jaden alone, but not for long as Jaden quickly called out. "Chancellor Sheppard, wait!"
"What is it, Jaden?" Chancellor Sheppard asked curiously.
"I was wondering if you could get Alexis to come here, as there's something important I want to tell her." Jaden replied.
"Of course, Jaden." Chancellor Sheppard said, a smile appeared on his face as he knew what Jaden wanted to say.
Moments later Alexis had turned up, curious as to why Jaden wanted to see her. Alexis then told Jaden that Chancellor Sheppard informed her he had made Jaden a teacher, which she was very proud of, before Jaden explained that the reason he wanted to see the 'Queen of Obelisk Blue' was because he wanted to employ her as a teacher too, which she gladly accepted before Jaden decided to tell her something he had kept secret to her for years.
"I love you, Alexis." Jaden said.
Yes, it was true; Jaden had fallen in love with Alexis, he wasn't too sure when he started to develop these feelings towards Alexis, but when Alexis was brainwashed by the Society of Light he fought his hardest to get her back, to make sure she was safe and when Mr. Stein forced Jaden into a duel where Alexis's life was on the line, that was when he realized how much she really meant to him and he couldn't stand the thought of losing her.
Jaden wanted to tell Alexis how he truly felt about her, but was afraid that if he did, it could ruin their friendship, which is why he didn't tell her, until now, and he was glad that he did as Alexis's response was a loving kiss, before she told him. "From the moment I first met you, you've been a great duelist and an excellent friend. You've always been there for everyone, including me. It was thanks to you that I found my brother and you were able to free him from the darkness of Nightshroud. It was you who saved me from being entombed by the Gravekeeper's Chief and I learned from our friends that it was you who saved me from Titan, Sartorius's control when I was a member of the Society of Light and I know that it was you who stopped Mr. Stein's trap from drowning me. You've done so much for me and I can't help but get warm feelings when I think about you. I love you too, Jaden Yuki."
-End flashback-
Within the Duel Arena, the students were cheering as two of the greatest duelists ever known to attend Duel Academy were facing one another, one of the best teachers, Alexis Rhodes and 'The Second King of Games' and the new chancellor of Duel Academy, Jaden Yuki.
Currently, Jaden had 1100 life points, two cards face down and Elemental Hero Flame Wingman in attack mode (2100/1200), while Alexis had 2900 life points, Cyber Blader (2100/800) and Cyber Tutu (1000/800), both in attack mode.
"My turn." Alexis announced, as she drew the top card from her deck, before she went on as she placed a spell card in her first spell/trap card slot and said. "I equip Fusion Weapon to Cyber Blader, which raises her attack by 1500, bringing her up to a total of 3600." 
"Now, Cyber Blader attack with Skate Blade Slash!" Alexis ordered. Cyber Blader leapt forward and was about to strike, but Jaden called out. "Sorry Lex, but I play The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh, which allows me to get Winged Kuriboh from my deck and put him on the field."
"Sorry Jaden." Alexis said slyly, before she announced as she activated a trap card. "But I activate my trap card, Spell Shield Type-8."
"Oh no. That means my spell card is negated!" Jaden stated.
"Precisely." Alexis said, before she commented. "And that means you can no longer play your other face down, Transcendent Wings."
"Whoever said I had Transcendent Wings set?" Jaden asked slyly which confused Alexis, until she realized that she was the one who had fallen into a trap. Jaden then announced. "I play De-Fusion! And I use it on Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!"
Elemental Hero Flame Wingman then split back into Elemental Hero Avian (1000/1000) and Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (1200/800) which canceled out Cyber Blader's attack, but she still had another monster to attack with, as she commanded. "Cyber Tutu, attack him directly with Pounding Pirouette!"
Thanks to Cyber Tutu's ability, she bypassed both of Jaden's monsters and kicked him in the chest, leaving him with only 100 life points left. However it wasn't over until the last card was played, as Jaden would always say.
And he was right when he drew the perfect card to win the duel.
"I sacrifice Elemental Hero Avian and Elemental Hero Burstinatrix to summon Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000)." Jaden said as he placed his favorite monster on his Duel Disk, before he held the card he had just drawn into the air and exclaimed, as he was about to use a card he only used against the best of the best. "Now, by discarding one card from my hand I play Super Polymerization!"
It was then Elemental Hero Neos and Cyber Blader began to swirl into one another, before they both began to glow brightly which forced everyone, including Alexis to shield their eyes, until the light died down and now, Cyber Blader was gone and standing in Elemental Hero Neos's place was Elemental Hero Neos Knight (2500/1000)
"And now it's time to end this, Alexis." Jaden said, before he commanded. "Neos Knight activate your special ability then attack Cyber Tutu with Neos Slash!"
Elemental Hero Neos Knight's attack was then increased by half of Cyber Blader's, raising him to 4300, which gave him more than enough power to wipe out Cyber Tutu and the rest of Alexis's life points.
Ending scores: Jaden Yuki: 100
Alexis Rhodes: 0
After the duel was over, the students began to cheer and Alexis smiled as to how great a duelist she and Jaden had become and deactivated her Duel Disk, while Jaden was just about to deactivate his, but before he did Yubel appeared on his left side and warned him. "Hold on Jaden, I sense a dark force coming along."
Yubel wasn't kidding, as a dark red vortex opened up beneath Alexis's feet, which she fell into, but was saved by Jaden's quick reflexes.
"How bout a little help, Neos?" Jaden asked. Neos nodded his head, dropped his sword and helped Jaden save his girlfriend from the dark void.
However, as Jaden and Neos pulled Alexis out of the dark portal, it expanded and both Jaden and Alexis fell into the unknown void, leaving all the students confused and concerned at what they just witnessed.
-Meanwhile, in the Data Squad dimension-
It had been five years since Marcus Damon, Greg Logan and their partners Veemon and Agumon, had left the real world to bring peace to the Digital World, a goal that had taken them five years to do, but through their strength, fighting spirit and determination to never give up, they had successfully completed their objective. Now that all conflicts had ended in the Digital World, thanks to the four, the Royal Knights, who used to serve King Drasil but now served Marcus, or Lord Damon as they referred to him, used their energy to open up a gateway to send the four, as well as Biyomon, Falcomon, Gaomon, Kamemon, Kudamon, Lalamon and the black and white Pawnchessmon back to the real world, in groups of three to the teleporter located at DATS headquarters, now turned police station.
Standing around the teleporter was Chief Sampson, Homer Yushima, the friends Marcus and Greg had made while working for DATS, a strongly built adult male in a red and blue bodysuit known as Superman and his family, as they waited for their Digimon, Greg and Marcus to return.
The first group featured Falcomon, who was surprised at how much Keenan had grown and changed, but that's to be expected being separated for five years and both were filled with joy to see each other again and embraced each other in a hug.
Gaomon, who held his right hand out to Thomas, expected Thomas to shake hands with him. However Gaomon was surprised when Thomas bent down and hugged him. Gaomon was surprised at first, but after a moment returned the embrace. He was more surprised to see Nanami was with him. Thomas explained that she was no longer an enemy, in fact, sometime after Thomas had successfully cured his sister Relena, Nanami and Thomas teamed up to cure other diseases, and soon had developed feelings for each other and were now boyfriend and girlfriend. However, Gaomon could tell they were more than that, as his nose was more sensitive than a human's and he could tell that they had mated, because he could smell their scents on each other's bodies, but decided not to be rude or intrusive on their relationship.
Just like the others, Kamemon and Homer gave each other a hug, before they separated and made their way to the exit, explaining 'they had a lot of catching up to do.'
And lastly with Kudamon, he made his way up Chief Sampson's body, until he was resting around his shoulders and said that 'it felt good to be home', which made Chief Sampson chuckle.
Minutes later, the second group had arrived, which consisted of Biyomon, Lalamon and the black and white Pawnchessmon, who made their way over to their respective human partners and embraced in a comforting hug.
And at long last, the four heroes, Greg, Veemon, Agumon and Marcus had returned to the real world and were greeted with applause, as everyone, particularly Marcus' parents were very proud at what they had achieved.
When Yoshi got a good look at Marcus she noticed the changes to his body, as Marcus was now taller, muscular and she had to admit he was quite handsome. Without thinking, Yoshi ran up to Marcus and wrapped her arms around his neck, while snuggling her head against his chest, enjoying the warm feel of her body against his.
Shortly after that Yoshi regained her senses, realizing what she was doing and quickly backed away from Marcus, with a small blush on her face.
Everyone was surprised at what Yoshi had done. But that wasn't as surprising at Marcus did, when he wrapped his arms around Yoshi's waist and then kissed her deeply on the lips. She was confused and surprised at first, but couldn't resist kissing him back with the same amount of passion.
After the pair broke from the kiss, Marcus told her that every day in the Digital World, when he and Agumon weren't using brute force to help stop fights, he thought about her and realized that he had fallen in love with her, she took his heart and gave him hers when she said she loved him back.
It was then everyone noticed that Marcus and Agumon had brought a young girl, who looked to be around the age of eighteen, with shoulder length pink hair, bright red eyes and wearing a light blue dress, back with them.
"Who's she?" Superman questioned. She introduced herself as Rhythm and Agumon's mate, which was a big surprise to those who didn't know.
Rhythm then told everyone the story of how Marcus, Thomas, Yoshi and their Digimon were after Kurata before he could get to the Digital World, but before they could get their hands on him, a Digimon known as Argomon had entered the real world and put every human on earth to sleep, as he believed it was a way to prevent further destruction by the hands of humans in the real world and especially the Digital World, but due to the faith Agumon had in Marcus's strength, he overcame Argomon's power and awoke, before he and Agumon, in the form of ShineGreymon Burst Mode, took Argomon down and reverted him back to a Digi-Egg.
After that, Rhythm took his Digi-Egg back to the Digital World. But before she did, Rhythm kissed Agumon and told him she would meet him again and she wasn't lying.
Around one year after the four had gone to the Digital World, to stop all the chaos and conflicts, they ran into Rhythm again, only she looked older then they last remembered, and she said thanks to the duo, Argomon was back to his original form, only now he no longer saw all humans as evil and then she told Agumon that she still loved him and Agumon told her he loved her too, and being a Digimon, Rhythm had changed her appearance to that of an eighteen year old human, in the hopes Agumon would think she was beautiful. However Agumon told her she was always beautiful, and he loved her not just for her outer beauty but for her inner beauty, such as her kind heart and gentle nature, which made her heart melt from his words, and after Marcus and Greg gave the two Digimon some privacy, they sealed their relationship by going into a cave, where they mated throughout the night, and the next morning Rhythm was marked as Agumon's mate, indicated by the small bite mark on the left side of her neck.
That had been six months ago and during those six months Marcus and Agumon had moved out of his parent's house into Yoshi's, so he could spend more time with his girlfriend and luckily for Agumon and Rhythm, Yoshi's apartment had a spare room for them to sleep in.
Chief Sampson had offered Marcus, Greg, Veemon and Agumon jobs in law enforcement, explaining how if he and Agumon were able to bring peace back to the Digital World, then they would make an excellent addition to the police force and made Marcus Squad Captain, which entitled him to a generous amount of payment, a Squad Captain's uniform, consisting of a police officer's hat, a pair of dark blue pants, black shoes and a dark blue jacket with an officer's badge pinned on his left side and his own squad car, which Yoshi taught him how to drive. Marcus turned out to be a natural, however he believed his ability to drive so well was because he had an amazing teacher and lastly, as a Squad Captain Marcus had command over Yoshi, Megumi and Miki. The three thought his rank over them would go too his head, but surprisingly the five years he had spent in the Digital World not only matured him physically, but mentally too, as he took his position seriously and didn't abuse his power, and not wanting Agumon to feel left out, Chief Sampson awarded Agumon a badge too, which he pinned to his right training brace, before he saluted Marcus and Agumon and they saluted back.
Currently Megumi, Miki, their Pawnchessmon, Marcus, Agumon, Greg, Veemon, Rhythm, Yoshi and Lalamon were standing before Chief Sampson as they awaited their instructions and which routes of the city they would patrol that day, but then it was without warning a dark red vortex suddenly opened up beneath Agumon's feet, which he fell into.
"What the." Greg exclaimed in surprise.
"Agumon!" Marcus called out in a concerned tone. He managed to grab Agumon's right hand with his own and tried to pull Agumon out of the red hole of seemingly endless darkness. 
But it was then the portal grew in size, and Marcus and Agumon fell into the darkness before the portal closed, which caused Yoshi to cry out in a concerned tone. "Marcus!"
However it looked as though Yoshi was going to join her boyfriend and Agumon as another dark red vortex opened up, only this time beneath Yoshi, who fell in alongside Greg and Veemon.
After blocking out all other noise, Superman heard Yoshi cry out and flew to the police station as fast as he could. He saw the dark red vortex with his X-Ray vision and went through it.
"Yoshi!" Lalamon called out in concern, before she felt the gravity around her intensify and was too sucked in, leaving Chief Sampson, Rhythm, Miki, Megumi and their Pawnchessmon baffled at what just happened to their friends and in Rhythm's terms, her mate.
-Meanwhile in Karakura Town-
One week had passed since Sosuke Aizen had been sentenced to 20,000 years in 'Muken', the 8th and lowest level of the underground prison, due to his betrayal of the Soul Society all in the name of power.
Currently Ichigo Kurosaki, who was covered in scratches and his own blood as he had taken on a horde of Hollows which provided more of a challenge than Ichigo had anticipated, was being assisted back to his home by Kon, who was inhabiting Ichigo's human body, to get the medical attention he needed.
But it seemed they were in luck when a familiar female voice called out to Ichigo and Kon, who both turned to see Orihime Inoue make her way over to them, before she asked in a concerned tone. "Ichigo, Kon, what happened?"
"Ichigo was ambushed by a group of Hollows who weren't to be taken lightly." Kon replied, before he went on and told Orihime. "Now we're heading back to Ichigo's place to get his wounds checked."
"Here, let me help." Orihime offered. Kon nodded and carefully rested Ichigo against a wall while Orihime prepared to heal Ichigo with her Shun Shun Rikka.
But before they knew what happened, a portal made of dark red energy opened up beneath Ichigo and Orihime. All Kon could do was watch as his friends were pulled within the unknown void, leaving him all alone.
-In New Domino City, around the same time-
It had been around six months since Yusei Fudo, otherwise known as the 'King of Turbo Duels' had defeated Z-One and was now seen as a hero by all of New Domino City and was currently riding his Duel Runner, Yusei Go, enjoying the scene and knowing that the future of New Domino City was a bright one, while Akiza was sitting behind him, as she had her arms wrapped around his waist and her head on his left shoulder, thinking how thanks to Yusei things have changed.
Flying directly above them was a man dressed in a green, black and white bodysuit. He was Kyle Rayner, a member of the intergalactic police force known as the Green Lantern Corps.
Akiza thought back to how Yusei had defeated Z-One and prevented the Divine Temple from destroying New Domino City and as Director/Mayor of New Domino City, Lazar awarded the apartment Yusei was born in at Tops as a way of saying thanks, and not only that, Yusei was given a job as head researcher for New Domino City, leading a team of operators working on the Planetary Particles. Yusei's crew had worked on the Ener-D and the energy gearing system, and thanks to Yusei it was functioning perfectly. He was confident that the decaying future of Z-One would never happen, but Akiza then remembered how she had been given the chance to study medicine at Dian Keto Medical College in Germany and if she studied hard enough, she could become a doctor in seven to eight years.
However, one week before she would depart, she had worked up the courage to express her true feelings to Yusei and went over to Tops, made her way to Yusei's apartment and once she was inside; she confessed to him that the night after Yusei and Jack had their final Turbo Duel, when she said 'I've always loved that I met you', what she actually was going to say was that 'I've always loved you'.
In response, Yusei told Akiza that he had always loved her too. After realizing their feelings, both closed their eyes, moved their heads forward and met in a passionate kiss.
It was after the pair broke from their kiss for air, that Akiza told Yusei she had decided to renounce the opportunity to study at Dian-Keto Medical College so they could be together. But Yusei didn't want Akiza to relinquish her dream just so she could be with him, so he arranged a meeting with Lazar, where Yusei asked if Lazar could find any way to give Akiza an education in medicine. Thanks to Yusei linking New Domino City to other cities and Lazar's position as Director and Mayor, they were able to hire one of the teachers from Dian-Keto Medical College who would personally tutor her at New Domino City hospital every weekday, so she wouldn't have to leave, something she was eternally grateful for.
And it was sometime later that Yusei and Akiza learned that the first time they made love, Akiza had unknowingly transferred her psychic powers to Yusei, making him a psychic duelist, just like her, with the ability to make Duel Monster cards real. Yusei learned to control these new powers rather quickly, which Akiza believed was because Yusei had such a strong bond with the cards in his deck.
"Hey, I must going crazy but is that a dark red vortex just up ahead?" Green Lantern asked.
Akiza was brought out of her thoughts when Yusei quickly deployed the brakes, pulled the steering wheel to the right, causing Yusei Go to sharply turn right as it began to skid sideways. Akiza saw the reason why Yusei performed that maneuver, and what Green Lantern was saying a few seconds earlier. They were approaching a dark red vortex, but fortunately and thanks to Yusei's Duel Runner riding skills, he was able to stop just before the void. Green Lantern descended and joined the two.
However, the dark red vortex expanded and pulled Yusei, Akiza, Kyle and his Duel Runner within the darkness, before it closed, leaving no trace of the 'King of Turbo Duels', his girlfriend, Green Lantern or his Duel Runner.
-At the exact same time in Pallet Town-
Just outside the home of Ash Ketchum were the aforementioned Pokémon Trainer, Pikachu and Dawn and her Buneary, who had decided to take a break from their adventures, relax and train at the town where the journey of Ash and Pikachu had began.
Currently Ash and Dawn were having a friendly Pokémon battle, in which Dawn then called out. "Buneary, use Dizzy Punch!"
Doing as instructed, Buneary jumped into the air and struck down at her opponent, as the rabbit Pokémon's ears began to glow and she prepared to strike, but it was then Ash commanded. "Pikachu, counter with Volt Tail"
"Pika." Pikachu replied, as he nodded his head, before Pikachu's body was then surrounded by golden electricity, before he jumped up at Buneary and tackled her, breaking through her Dizzy Punch attack and knocking her to the floor.
It was after Buneary took a few minutes to recover from the attack that she looked up to see Pikachu standing before her, with his left 'hand' out, as he smiled at her, which caused her heart to skip a beat from Pikachu being such a caring Pokémon.
"Alright, guys. I think that's enough training for now." Ash said, before the black haired teen turned toward Dawn and Buneary and complimented. "You two were great."
"Thanks Ash." Dawn replied happily as she smiled from Ash's words, in which Buneary smiled too.
But it was then Ash could see an unusual looking aura of dark red energy appear beneath Dawn's feet, in which he quickly ran over and pushed her out of the way, which shocked Dawn, Pikachu and Buneary as the dark red energy opened up and sucked Ash inside, which caused the female Pokémon Trainer and the two Pokémon to rush over to the void, in which Dawn called out in a highly concerned tone. "Ash!"
However, it seemed that Dawn, Pikachu and Buneary were going to join him when the dark red portal expanded, causing the trio to fall within the void and head into the darkness.
-Meanwhile in Shinbuya-
It had been over three years since Takuya, JP, Koji, Tommy and Zoe had each received a mysterious message from a mysterious female caller, who lead them to Shinbuya's subway station where they each traveled to the Digital World, where they worked together and faced many hardships, including facing against the Legendary Warrior of Darkness, Duskmon, who was actually Koji's twin brother, Koichi, who had his memories erased and was given the corrupted Human Spirit of Darkness by the corrupted Celestial Digimon, but after a heated battle between the brothers and Takuya, Koichi was freed from the darkness and after proving the darkness that remained within him could be used for good, joined Koji and his friends on their adventure to save the Digital World and to defeat Koichi's puppet master, Cherubimon, who it turns out was merely being used as a puppet too, by the twisted fallen angel, Lucemon, who was sealed within the core of the Digital World, and was reawakened from his underground prison after his two strongest Digimon, the Royal Knights, had collected enough data for him and in return he betrayed them and consumed their data, Digivolving him to his Ultimate form, Lucemon Chaos Mode.
Even with this newfound power, Lucemon Chaos Mode met his end when Takuya and Koji fused together, creating Susanoomon, which destroyed Lucemon Chaos Mode with his Celestial Blade attack, however, Takuya and the others were soon to find out their fight wasn't over yet.
When Susanoomon scanned Lucemon, only the good data was scanned, leaving the evil data to reform itself into a dark Digi-Egg, which hatched into Lucemon Shadowlord Mode.
This new evil Digimon tried to make his way into the Real World, however the Legendary Warriors united together as one and became Susanoomon in one last fight to determine the fate of both the Real World and the Digital World.
Using his Celestial Blade, Susanoomon cut Lucemon Shadow Lord Mode in half, releasing every piece of data that he and his minions took and restored the entire Digital World, however, Lucemon Larva emerged from his destroyed puppet and stung Susanoomon.
Susanoomon then split into the Legendary Warriors in their Human Spirit forms, each wielding a sword broken out of Susanoomon's cannon and using the sword, each of the Legendary Warriors slashed Lucemon, at last defeating him and at long last restoring peace to the Digital World, while keeping the Real World safe.
Though some of them they all didn't get along at first and their adventure through the Digital World was no picnic, they were glad they had met each other and became friends and were proud at what they had achieved during their time in the Digital World, as it made them all better people for the experience, they learnt about friendship, trust and self-dependence.
Currently within one of Shinbuya's parks, we find the Legendary Warriors and Takuya's Shinya Kanbara, playing a game of soccer, with JP, Koichi, Koji and Tommy on one team and Takuya, Zoe and Shinya on the other team.
Currently Shinya had the ball and was running toward the goal, which JP was guarding, as Koichi and Koji were chasing after him, while Tommy was coming at him from the front.
"Shinya, I'm open!" Takuya then called out, in which Shinya kicked the ball over to his older brother, who began to charge at the goal, but it was then the Wielder of the Spirits of Flame kicked the ball into the air, in which he kneeled down, revealing Zoe was hiding behind him, before she shot up onto Takuya's back and kicked the ball, which JP tried to defend, however, the Wielder of the Spirits of Thunder wasn't prepared for the surprise attack and missed the ball, assuring victory for Takuya's team.
"Great work, Zoe. You did it." Takuya said happily, in which Zoe wrapped her arms around Takuya's neck and told him in a loving tone. "No, Takuya. We did it."
It was then the pair engaged in a loving kiss, as one week after the Digidestined had returned from the Digital World, JP had asked Zoe if she would ever go on a date with him, however Zoe turned him down, saying she only saw him as a friend and there was someone else she had feelings for, but that a secret she wasn't planning on sharing, until one August during a game of 'Truth or Dare' at Takuya's place.
Takuya was given two turns in a row, because it was his birthday and he had just turned thirteen, Takuya wasn't too sure who he should dare or make one of them release whatever secrets they had, until JP whispered a dare, in which Takuya smirked and dared Zoe to tell everyone her biggest secret, which seriously embarrassed her, but a dare was a dare.
Zoe then told everyone that she 'like liked' Takuya, which was a big surprise to everyone, but was even more surprising was when Takuya sat next to Zoe, wrapped his arms around her, sat her in his lap, and without warning, kissed her right on the lips.
When Takuya stopped kissing Zoe, Zoe asked as a blush appeared across her face as to why Takuya kissed her, in response Takuya said that he dared himself to kiss the girl he had fallen in love with while in the Digital World.
Hearing that caused a warm and pleasant feeling to spread through her heart, in which Zoe grabbed the sides of Takuya's head and passionately kissed him, that he gladly returned, neither caring that the others were watching.
This was a big surprise to Koichi, Koji, Tommy and especially JP, seeing as how the girl he had the hots for was kissing another boy, however JP did care about Zoe and only wanted what made her happy, and if being with Takuya made her happy then he was happy for her, and ever since then Takuya and Zoe had become boyfriend and girlfriend.
But their loving embracement was interrupted when a dark red vortex suddenly opened up beneath Takuya and Zoe and sucked them within the void.
"Takuya! Zoe!" Shinya and the remaining Legendary Warriors called out in concerned tone, as the unidentified portal closed up, in which Shinya nor the other Legendary Warriors had no idea what had just happened to their friends.
-In Domino City, at the exact same time-
It had been around three years since Yugi was able to win against Atem in the Ceremonial Battle, sending the Pharaoh to the afterlife, which was hard for all of the possessor of the Millennium Puzzle's friends, especially Yugi, to say 'goodbye', but they knew forcing him to stay in their time for the next five thousand years would be selfish and not what true friends would do, and over time they accepted Atem was better in the afterlife and returned to their lives.
Currently, Yugi, who had gotten taller and more muscular over the past three years, making him look almost like Atem, Joey, Tristan and Tea had just left Yugi's grandfather's game shop, as Tristan had gotten some new Cards to improve his Deck, as after watching the 'King of Games' and the self proclaimed 'Godfather of Games' Dueling countless times, he had gotten into Duel Monsters Cards to improve their Decks.
"So what cards did you get, Tristan." Yugi asked curiously.
"Giant Orc, Armor Exe, Sengenjin, Zombyra the Dark and Goblin Attack Force." Tristan replied, before he stated proudly. "With these powerhouses in my Deck nothing will stand in my way."
"Care to put that to a test?" Joey questioned, as he activated his Duel Disk, in which Tristan nodded his head and said. "You're on Joey."
It was then Joey and Tristan moved back to give each other some room, before Tristan activated his Duel Disk, but before either of them could so much as draw a single card, they both heard Tea call out Yugi's name in concern, in which they turned and were confused and shocked to see their friend being sucked into a strange dark red portal.
"Yugi!" Joey and Tristan called out, before they quickly ran over to the void and managed to each grab one of Yugi's hands before the pair managed to pull their friend out of the unknown portal of darkness.
Unfortunately they were so distracted by the fact that they managed to save Yugi they all failed to notice until it was too late.
Tea then screamed as she fell into the dark red portal, which opened up beneath her feet, which shocked the trio. Though Joey and Tristan's shock was heightened when Yugi ran forward, jumped into the portal, as he called out. "Hold on, Tea. I'm coming."
Deciding not to let their friend go alone, Joey and Tristan jumped into the air and were planning on entering the unknown to save Tea and Yugi, however, the portal closed, which caused them both to fall face first on the ground.
"Did you get the number of that thing, Tristan?" Joey asked sarcastically, as his face was still lodged on the ground.
-Meanwhile in Konoha-
Things in the Leaf Village were picking up after Naruto Uzumaki had managed to defeat all Six Paths of Pain and had stopped Nagato from getting a hold of the Kyuubi, however, the hero of the Leaf Village was in for a big change that day.
Currently, Naruto was at Ramen Ichiraku enjoying his sixth bowl, but he wasn't alone, as Hinata Hyuga was sitting next to him, as after Naruto had returned home, he took some time to think about what Hinata said and came to a realization that he loved her too.
While there would always be a part of him that cared for Sakura, he could tell she cared about him, but not as much as Hinata did, and now saw Sakura like the sister he never had.
So, after Naruto managed to find Hinata, he asked her on a date, which caused her to faint, but fortunately for the Hyuga heiress, Naruto caught her and then waited for her to wake up, in which she did several minutes later to see Naruto staring down at her gently and realized that this was no dream and agreed, and ever since then they were boyfriend and girlfriend.
After Naruto finished eating, he payed for their meals and both headed off to train together, as they both wished to get stronger, so they could protect the other, but it was then Naruto yelled to Hinata in a warning tone. "Hinata-chan look out!"
But it was too late as a dark red vortex opened up beneath Hinata and pulled her in, however, Naruto refused to let anything happen to her, in which he exclaimed "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
As Hinata continued to fall into the darkness, she was relieved when she felt someone grab her right wrist, in which she looked up to see a chain of four Shadow Clones holding onto the other's legs.
"Climb up, Hinata." The Shadow Clone told her, before Hinata nodded her head and carefully climbed up the Shadow Clones, until she was free from the void and was safely back on the ground.
But it seemed that Naruto's rescue was in vain when the vortex expanded and pulled them both into the darkness.
-Around the same time in Shinjuku-
It had been over three years since Takato and his friends were able to defeat the D-Reaper, and six months after the renegade program had been neutralized Takato and his friends had saved Shinjuku again, that time from an army of Parasimon, and currently, in Shinjuku Park, was Takato, his Digimon partner, the kind hearted and always friendly virus-type Digimon, Guilmon, and all their friends, Henry, Terriermon, Rika, Renamon, Impmon, Ai, Mako, Suzie, Lopmon, Kazu, Guardromon, Kenta, MarineAngemon, Ryo, Cyberdramon and Calumon, who were all glad that after all the Parasimon were destroyed, Digimon Biomerging into the Real World to cause chaos had decreased, but Takato and Guilmon both had another problem they needed to conquer, which involved a particular red haired girl and her Digimon partner.
It was after Takato had released Rika from Parasimon's control and saved her from losing her life on Locomon that he had started to fall in love with her, however, he was unsure of his feelings, because there was another girl that he had felt he loved just as much as Rika, Jeri Kato.
Takato had known Jeri longer then he did Rika and he had always had a crush on her in school, and his crush had grown stronger when he saved her from the D-Reaper.
He loved Jeri because she was sweet, gentle and just as beautiful as Rika, however, when he thought about which girl he loved more, the answer came clear to him that it was Rika, because in his mind Rika was beautiful, courageous, smart, strong, and even though she could be bitter and antisocial at times, he knew she was a good person, and the more he thought about the love he had for the Digimon Queen, the more he realized that his crush on Jeri was just that, a crush, nothing more, and it was after Henry asked Jeri on a date, in which they became boyfriend and girlfriend shortly after, that any feelings towards her, other than friendship were gone.
Takato was happy that the pair had fallen in love, and in turn Henry and Jeri wished Takato the best of luck when he would tell Rika that he loved her, however, because of her distant nature, it was hard for Takato to tell if Rika felt the same way about him, not only that, but he was afraid if he told Rika how he truly felt about her she would reject him, and in turn could ruin the friendship that took so long to create between them.
Meanwhile, during the events leading up to the D-Reaper invading Shinjuku, Guilmon had begun to fall in love with Renamon and to him Renamon was a strong and beautiful female Digimon and he desired her as his mate, however he was just like Takato and didn't know if Renamon felt the same way about him, so Guilmon asked Takato how to get a girl to like him in which his Tamer told him that most girls like things such as chocolate and flowers, however, when he ran into Ai, Mako and Impmon, who had moved several streets away from Takato's house some time after the events of the Parasimon attack, the bandana wearing Digimon explained to Guilmon that as a Digimon he didn't need to do all the things Takato had told him to do because he was a Digimon, and the way a real Digimon would win Renamon's heart was by showing her how caring, protective and strong he could be when it came to her, and to make Renamon officially his, he should mate with her the second the opportunity arose, however, as much as Guilmon wanted to mate with Renamon the red dragon was just like his Tamer and was afraid if he did try and express his feelings towards the fox Digimon there was a chance that she wouldn't feel the same way about him as he did her.
But it was then Guilmon stopped, as he could sense something was wrong and confused everyone, particularly Rika and Renamon, when he lunged at the fox Digimon and shoved her several steps away.
Takato was then about to ask why Guilmon did that, but before he could, a dark red vortex opened up beneath Guilmon and pulled him in, which caused the leader of the Digimon Tamers to run up to the void, look down and call out in a concerned tone. "Guilmon!"
But it was then the dark red vortex expanded, in which everyone watched as Takato fell within the portal, before it closed and vanished, leaving the remaining Tamers and their Digimon shocked.
And their shock was heightened when two more portals of dark red energy appeared and sucked up Rika and Renamon, leaving the remaining Tamers and Digimon confused and worried as to who could be next and what had happened to Takato, Guilmon, Rika and Renamon, unaware of the fate that had fallen upon not only their friends but many others before them.
