Digital Rescue! Save Scott and Ryo!

"FOX TAIL INFERNO!"

"ERASE CLAW!"

"TWIN BEAM!"

"V-NOVA BLAST!"

"CRIMSON CLAW!"

"LIZARD DANCE!"

Attacks came from both sides of the field. What could be seen was a all out Digimon brawl.

Devidramon was sweeping the field with Dark Gale, but Dinohumon jumped onto his back and slashed at his neck.

"GRAH!"

Devidramon swiped Dinohumon off. Cyberdramon managed to catch him and countered.

"CYBER NAIL!"

Devidramon hit the ground, but quickly covered as Kyubimon leaped over him.

"FOX FLAME DRAGON!"

Veedramon was getting smacked around by the force of the attack as he fell to the ground. However he managed to release a counter.

"V-NOVA BLAST!"

Silver Kyubimon dodged and body slammed Veedramon to the ground.

Mekanorimon fired.

"TWIN BEAM!"

The attack knocked Silver Kyubimon out of the sky but she landed on her feet.

Meanwhile Akito and Faith had sneaked off somewhere.

Ryo and Scott looked everywhere.

"Where have they gone? How dare they. Leaving behind their own Digimon?"

Bakura and Ants were on the lookout too. They searched high and low for the 2, but found no one.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Faith and Vice were sneaking up on Ryo and Scott. Ryo suddenly felt a blade pressed against his neck and Scott felt one too.

Dinohumon and Cyberdramon sensed their partners were in trouble and were about to help. Sadly, they had taken their eyes off of Devidramon.

"DARK GALE!"

The attacks returned the 2 back to their rookie forms, unconscious.

Devidramon picked them up in his claws, as Vice sneered.

"We have what we came for."

Ants ran up.

"Wait a minute! We need them! We're in the middle of a battle for time and space here!"

Faith just scowled.

"Tell someone who cares. It has nothing to do with us."

Faith and Akito knocked their captives unconscious. They threw them on Devidramon as they and Silver Kyubimon hopped on.

"CRIMSON EYE!"

Mekanorimon and Veedramon found themselves unable to move, as did Ants and Bakura. They watched helplessly as their friends were taken away.

At Takato's house...

Tai was chowing down on some of the bread Takato made, Agumon and Guilmon were playing outside. Biyomon was perched on the roof watching them. Sora was also having some of the bread.

"Mmm. Takato, you're lucky to be in a family of bakers."

"You get to eat delicious bread and probably a lot of pastries too!"

Takato just chuckled.

"Glad you guys like it."

Takato then decided to ask.

"Tai? Sora? Are you 2 boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Tai choked on his bread.

Takato just snickered.

"I'll take that as a yes."

Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking at the door. Takato went to open it. He saw Bakura, out of breath and looking freaked.

"Bakura?! What's wrong?!"

"Some creepy DD just appeared outta nowhere and abducted Ryo and Scott. We don't even know if they work for Moon=Millenniummon or not!"

Tai ran over to Bakura and gave him some water.

"Drink this, you'll feel better."

Bakura shakily drank up.

Tai was horrified at what happened too.

"Bakura. What did the abductors look like?"

"Well, one was a boy with a Devidramon. He had black hair, and wore Gothic clothing. The girl had long red hair and sexy clothing, and she used a Renamon, just like Rika."

Tai thought for a moment.

"More Dark Digidestined? Moon=Millenniummon sure likes to use some of our own kind against us. But are they holograms? Or are they the real deal this time?"

"They didn't seem like they were on Moon=Millenniummon's side. They seem to be working of their own accord."

Sora overheard this.

"That's just what we need. A red herring to get in our way."

Bakura put one finger up.

"But I think I know someone who can help us."

Bakura stepped away from the door to show Ants.

"Hi, I'm Ants, a DD like you."

He flashed his crest of Honor.

"I think I can help."

Tai called Agumon and the other Digimon over as Ants began to talk.

"My Digimon may be able to track where the captors are and find them. He can also bring us to Ryo and Scott quickly as well."

Tai and the others were intrigued.

Ants pulled out his crest and Digivice and held them out to Mekanorimon, who began to digivolve.

"MEKANORIMON DIGIVOLVE TO...BULBMON!"

Bulbmon looked like an oddly shaped cube puzzle with arms and with 4 legs sticking out from the front, back and sides and 2 long arms dangling from the sides. On top was a tube shaped head.

"This is Bulbmon. He's my Digimon's ultimate form. He can transport people through different dimensions and servers. He's quite useful. I believe we can find your friends with him. He'll track down their energy signatures and their captors."

"Wow." Agumon and Guilmon breathed.

A door on the side of Bulbmon opened up. Ants stepped inside.

"C'mon everyone!"

Tai and Agumon stepped in first. Sora and Biyomon followed. Takato and Guilmon then went in. Bakura and Snow Agumon went in last.

With a roar, Bulbmon closed the door and closed up itself. It began to float in the sky, before flying off.

Inside it looked like a space ship.

"This is what the inside of Bulbmon looks like." Ants explained.

"Much better than Mekanorimon, as he could only carry one person."

Tai and Agumon saw computers that were like windows. It showed everything outside.

Bakura then took out a picture of Scott.

"This is one of our friends."

Ants took the picture and put it through what looked like a fax machine.

PROCESSING. Bulbmon bellowed.

SUBJECT FOUND.

"Excellent. Where is he?" Ants asked.

SCOTT IS NEAR THE RUINS OF THE OLD HQ OF HYPNOS.

"That means Ryo would be there too." Takato said.

Bulbmon suddenly vanished in midair.

Meanwhile...

Scott groaned as he slowly came to.

"Wh-where am I?"

He heard footsteps and turned to the source. He saw a girl with long red hair coming his way.

"Faith." He muttered.

Faith smiled as she walked up to him.

"So you're finally awake."

"Yeah, no thanks to you and Akito."

"I'd rather you call me Vice."

Vice suddenly stepped into view as well.

Scott rolled his eyes.

"Okay, Vice. Tell me why you brought me here and why you brought Ryo here as well?"

"It's simple really. You see, I may look like any other human being, yet I have no soul."

Scott's eyes grew wide.

"WHAT?! YOU'RE A ZOMBIE?!"

Vice sweat dropped.

"Er. Not exactly. My soul was ripped from my body and was broken into 2 shards. The creature who did this to me was a Digimon you and Ryo know very well. His name is Millenniummon."

"Damn! I knew he had something to do with this."

"I've been on a quest to find the 2 shards. It turns out my shard of goodness is inside you, while my shard of evil is in Ryo."

"So, how exactly do you plan to remove them?"

Akito smiled and drew a sword.

"By killing you of course."

Scott froze. He turned to one side and saw Kotemon, but he was still unconscious and weak.

"Dammit. Just when I need him the most. And where's Ryo and Monodramon?"

Elsewhere, Ryo was just waking up. He looked to the side and saw Monodramon was still there.

"But Scott. Oh god. They're gonna kill him!"

He looked up and saw a weird shape coming down.

Bulbmon had reappeared in the sky.

Ants checked the monitors and he saw what looked like Ryo and Monodramon.

"I think we found Ryo and his Digimon, but where's the other one?"

They descended and landed a meter away from Ryo. Bulbmon opened up and let them through. Takato rushed out first with Guilmon.

"Ryo! You're okay!"

"Takato? Are Bakura and Ants here too?"

"Yeah! Tai and Sora came as well. Where's Scott?"

"Oh god! He and Kotemon are alone with them! We have to get to them fast!"

Scott watched the blade dangle above his head. He could barely move.

*'They must've sedated me or something.'*

Vice smiled to himself.

*'Soon I'll have my soul back. I'll be a regular human being. Faith and I can get engaged and spend some time with each other after this.'*

He raised the sword. Scott shut his eyes and prepared for the worst.

"NOVA BLAST!"

"METEOR WING!"

2 fiery attacks struck nearby.

Greymon and Birdramon appeared with Tai and Sora on top.

Vice scowled.

"Devidramon! Deal with them!"

Devidramon stepped out.

"CRIMSON CLAW!"

He tried to attack Greymon who managed to dodge just in time.

"I won't let you harm our friend!" Tai and Greymon spoke in unison. Tai's crest glowed.

"GREYMON DIGIVOLVE TO...METALGREYMON!"

"GIGA BLASTER!"

The missiles hit Devidramon in the face and sent him crashing down.

Scott's crest began to glow and Kotemon stood up.

Silver Renamon came out and was about to digivolve, but Kotemon stopped that.

"HOT HEAD!"

He knocked Silver Renamon down with his katana.

"That'll teach you to mess with the DD!"

Birdramon swooped down and picked Kotemon and Scott up.

"FALL BACK!"

The DD began to clear out. Bulbmon suddenly disappeared before them, with the doors open. Everyone rushed in as the doors closed. With everyone inside Bulbmon began to fly off.

"AFTER THEM!" Vice shouted as he, Renamon and Faith jumped on top of Devidramon and flew after the giant Digimon.

Ants looked through the monitor.

"SHIT! They're coming after us."

"DARK GALE!"

The black wind blew out and rocked Bulbmon with much force.

"MAD PUMP!"

An arm extended out from Bulbmon and shot a giant water blast at Devidramon.

The dark dragon dodged and lunged with a crimson claw.

Bulbmon levitated out of the way and then dropped down on Devidramon, almost crushing his pals.

"DARK GALE!"

Devidramon's next attack almost threw Bulbmon out of the sky.

Vice growled.

"I'll flatten them."

Devidramon suddenly gathered power and charged at Bulbmon.

"CRASH!"

Bulbmon was knocked out of the air and began to drop like a stone.

Everyone inside felt themselves falling.

"What's going on?!" Sora yelled.

"Devidramon knocked us out of the sky!" Ants exclaimed.

"BULBMON! PULL UP!"

TRYING.

Bulbmon dropped down faster and faster. Was this the end of the Digidestined? Bulbmon neared the ground at an incredible speed. The DD were about to crash.
