Confusion

It had been 1 year since Moon=Milleniummon was defeated. However, Both DD and Tamers had suffered loss. The DD had lost Scott and Kotemon, while the Tamer lost Ryo and Cyberdramon. Both DD had died in the explosion of Moon=Milleniummon's castle. A year had passed since then, and they moved on with their lives. Mimi, who had been Scott's girlfriend, was able to fall in love again. Izzy had loved Mimi for quite a while, but was too shy to tell her. He had completely given up, when Scott came into the picture, but he bounced back when Mimi needed help. The 2 had been going steady for 8 months now. Everyone managed to live happily and remembered the good times with Scott, or Ryo.

Elsewhere, in the Frontier World...

"DRAGON CROSSBOW!" EmperorGreymon's attack shot down 2 Gryphonmon who were attacking the Frontier DD. One immediately recovered from the shot and prepared to swipe the ones who had not transformed.

"MACHINEGUN DESTROYER!" The opposing Gryphonmon was struck dead on, by MagnaGarurumon's gun.

"PYRO DRAGONS!" The other Gryphonmon was killed.

Both Digimon's fractal code was exposed. EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon whipped out their D-Tectors and absorbed the fractal code. The 2 Zeta Hybrids devolved back to Takuya and Koji.

"Man, those Gryphonmon just came out of nowhere. The angels mentioned something about Digimon going aggressive in the Digital World." 17-year old Takuya groaned.

"The problem is we don't know what's causing it. Lucemon is dead now." Koji said. "They mentioned something about a Digimon that time had forgotten. He is one, whom others have fought, but always fight him again. Great, a Digimon stronger than Lucemon..."

Zoë took off her hat, and fanned herself from the heat. "We should find some shade before it gets any hotter guys."

"Good idea." The 2 agreed.

Elsewhere, a brown haired boy, with a Kotemon on his back was trudging through the sands. He had a vacant look in his eye, as if he was in a trance. He stalked in a zombie like state. He seemed to be in search of someone. "Ryo... Ryo... Cyberdramon... Cyberdramon..." It had been one year, being stranded in this new Digital World. Scott and Ryo had been separated all this time. Scott had become mentally damaged for this length of time. It was unknown when he had awoken after the battle with Moon=Milleniummon. The use and sealing from the crest of Determination, had put a strain on him and his Digimon. Kotemon had been put into a coma. Scott was still in part of a coma. His mind was a million miles away.

After a few hours, Takuya and the others had laid to rest in a cool forest. Takuya lay underneath a huge tree and looked at the sleeping girl a meter away from him. "Zoë is so beautiful... We've been through so much with the others... Then a few years ago, I realized that I loved having her around. Man, she's really become a babe in these past years..." He got up and walked over to Zoë. He lay down beside, the blonde beauty, and stroked her hair. "She looks so innocent when she sleeps. Her face is like an angel. No one, who saw her the first time now, would think she was a fierce warrior of the wind." He leaned down and kissed Zoë on the cheek. Zoë, who was still sleeping, blushed and smiled, thinking it was a dream.

Koichi and Koji were at the edge of the forest, as look outs. They saw no enemy Digimon for now, but they did not realize that they'd come across something that would change their lives.

"It seems too quiet here. It's the perfect setup for an ambush." Koichi muttered.

"We better be on a close watch." Koji stated. "No telling if the new enemy is watching us."

Inside the forest was Scott, still in his zombie-like state. He was walking closer to the twins, without realizing it. His eyes, were vacant and pupil-less with an eerie red hue in them. Kotemon was still strapped on his back, and his digivice hooked on his belt. His crest began to glow a dark pink. He stopped then leaped into a tree, and hid, watching the twins.

J.P, who had been gathering lunch, was heading back with some apples, when he noticed a strange boy, with a Kotemon on his back, lurching about. "Who's that? What's that strange device on his belt?" J.P followed the strange boy until he leapt into the tree. He noticed Koichi and Koji nearby as well. He decided that Spirit Evolving would be too drastic, and unnecessary. Instead he aimed for the figure, with an apple. "Almost in sight... Got em'!" He tossed it.

Scott never felt the apple hit him, but did lean enough to fall.

The Twins heard something fall behind them. When they turned around, they saw a boy about their age, with a device similar to their D-Tectors, but different, and he had a Digimon with him. They heard J.P running over to them.

"Guys, this guy was spying on you. I knocked him out of the tree. I saw him lurking about the forests. There was something odd about him..."

Inside of Scott's Mind, a black, 2 headed shape with glowing red eyes appeared. WAKE UP! It screamed.

Scott's eyes opened, but were glowing red with black, slit-like pupils. His eyes narrowed, and he grinned evilly. "SNYAAAA!" He screamed, and leaped a meter away, holding out his Digivice.

Kotemon awakened in the same mannered and jumped in front of Scott.

KOTEMON DIGIVOLVE TO... DINOHUMON! Dinohumon stood with his huge sword ready. "Gruuuuuuu..." He growled.

"I've got these loonies!" Koichi stood in front. Both of his Spirits appeared in the D-Tector. The fractal code appeared on his hand, and he scanned it. "Spirit, Evolution! Loweemon!"

"BRAGH!" Dinohumon lunged forward in a berserk rage, with his sword drawn. He leapt into the air, and swung his sword down on the hybrid.

Loweemon lifted his sword and parried the attack. He countered in the process.

Metal clashed against metal as the 2 Digimon fought with their swords. Loweemon swung sideways, while the deranged Dinohumon blocked and thrust forward. Loweemon moved back and jumped, avoiding a low slash.

"SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" Koji used his own D-Tector and transformed with his spirits. "LOBOMON!" Lobomon rushed in twirling his double edged sword. He thrust it and cut Dinohumon across the leg, causing the lizard man to howl in pain.

J.P had run off to get help. He found Tommy collecting food as well. He told him what was happening and they ran off to find Takuya and Zoe.

Takuya had fallen asleep beside Zoe, when J.P and Tommy were calling for them. Takuya woke up immediately and tapped Zoe to wake her.

"T-Takuya?" Zoe began to wake up.

"Zoë, I think the others are calling for us."

"What? Then we better get going..." Zoe said getting up.

Takuya followed, and ran after Zoe.

They found J.P and Tommy, coming towards them.

"J.P, Tommy, what's wrong?" Takuya asked.

"Loweemon and Lobomon are being attacked by some psycho kid, with a psycho Digimon! The two just came out of nowhere!" J.P said frantically. He led everyone over to the scene. When they got there, Dinohumon was now Slash Angemon. Slash Angemon was such a skilled warrior that he was giving Lobomon and Loweemon a run for their money with his swordplay.

GOLDEN RIPPER! Slash Angemon's slash waves knocked the 2 advanced hybrids off their feet, flat on their backs. He began to circle over them, with a crazed look in his eyes. He clanged his blades as he circled.

Scott grinned insanely. His right eye had the mark of a strange Digimon inside of it.

Zoë looked at the strange boy with a bit of fear. "He's definitely controlling that Digimon up there. They both seemed to be possessed." She pointed her D-Tector up at the Digimon.

"Slash Angemon. Mega Level. His Golden Ripper can slash through those who oppose him." Zoë read. She looked closer at the two. "Wait a second... There's some strange mark in their eyes. I think these 2 might be possessed."

Lobomon and Loweemon devolved back to Koji and Koichi. They were lying on the ground with their fractal code exposed. The strange thing was that the boy and Slash Angemon were not interested in the data. They merely stared at it.

Zoë was intrigued. "I don't think these 2 are enemies. They're merely puppets." She walked closer towards them.

Slash Angemon howled and pointed his blades, as a warning.

Scott shrank back as the woman came towards him. He acted like a cornered animal. His eye did not betray that behavior.

Zoë heard her D-Tector bleep. She picked it out and everyone began to hear Ophanimon's voice.

"Ancient Warriors, do not harm him. This boy and the Slash Angemon are from another world. You need to free him from the dark spell he is under."

Takuya and Zoe nodded to each other, bringing out their D-Tectors.

SPIRIT EVOLUTION!

AGUNIMON!

KAZEMON!

The 2 Human Spirit Hybrids started to advance.

Slash Angemon started to walk towards them, his blades raised threateningly. Suddenly he dashed at them, screaming like crazy.

BURNING SALAMANDER!

Slash Angemon was hit in the face with a fire stream. He squinted and stepped back, only to have Agunimon pounce upon him, pinning him to the ground.

Agunimon flattened himself out as hard as he could, pinning the berserk Mega on the ground.

Scott was about to run over to his Digimon, but as he ran he found himself up in the air. He kicked and flailed about.

Kazemon lifted Scott up into the air to keep him separated form his Digimon and to get things under control.

Deep in Scott's mind, the booming voice spoke again. I'LL LET YOU DEAL WITH THEM NOW. I'LL SEE YOU LATER, MIND SLAVE... HAHAHA...

Scott and Slash Angemon's eyes suddenly returned to normal, and they stopped resisting. Both of them became limp, black smoke steaming from them.

Agunimon got up off of Slash Angemon as he dedigivolved back to Kotemon.

Kazemon gently set Scott down next to his Digimon. "Whew, finally those two calmed down. Whatever was controlling them seems to have subsided."

"What, or who was controlling them?" Agunimon wondered. "Something of pure evil was manipulating them..."

"Uh..." Scott groaned in his slumber. "M...il...len...iu...mmon..."

"Huh?" Kazemon leaned in.

"Milleniummon... get away... Milleniummon..."

*'Who's Milleniummon?'* Zoe thought.

Who was this boy? Who was Milleniummon? The Frontier DD were all thinking these questions. They'd have to ask the boy and his Digimon when he woke up. He had a lot of explaining to do...
