A year had passed and Naruto's life had become very steady. He'd begun to get into his normal life role and begin feel more relaxed in a world where you didn't need to worry about dying one day to the next.
The summer had come and Naruto had gone off on holiday visiting a temple in japan.
But, it just so happened that his relaxing time away will be cut short.
Back in Odaiba, Taichi was at home typing his apology e-mail to Sora. 'Sora, sorry about the other day… Don't be angry anymore. Taichi Yagami.' Taichi sighed as he sat back and looked to find the error at the end of his message; damn kanji misspelling his first name, it never gets it right.
"Ah... You're sending mail." The voice of Hikari scared the life out him and as he turned to face the girl he hit a button popping a heart up at the end. Taichi glanced to the screen and covered it.
"Hey, don't look!" Taichi growled before staring blankly at his sister in a dress. "Eh? Are you going somewhere?" Hikari nods.
"To my friend's birthday party, and this present is for her." Taichi glanced to the screen, having scared him like that.
"Gimmie!" Taichi joked as he latched out. Hikari moved it easily enough aside. "Gimmie!" Hikari moved again with a repeated response of no. Taichi tried a third time and gave up playing as he turned and leaned back. Unaware of Hikari's aid coming to his right side.
"To send mail, click here..." Taichi opened his eyes in time to see it and looked at the screen in shock, no! Not with that ending!
"Hey! Don't send 'my' mail like that!" Taichi roared turning to the door as his sister nipped through. She stopped and glanced back though the gap.
"Who did you send it to?" Hikari asked curiously.
"None of your business..." Taichi responded plain faced.
"Meanie..." Hikari muttered as she headed for the door. Taichi sighed, without Naruto around, Hikari had to go and bug him... Damn that kid and his holiday. "I showed you how to send it..."
Taichi looked on annoyed as the small Agumon that Koushiro had made take the letter to Sora's mail box. "Huh?" Taichi blinked confused as the small dino walked back sadly. "Mail rejected?" Taichi questioned. You can't be serious! "What's with Sora?" Taichi asked as he rocked back and through on his chair annoyed by her actions to him over a simple incident. "She doesn't want to receive e-mails from meeeee argh!" Taichi roared as he fell backwards losing his balance. Taichi sighed, today was not his day.
With Koushiro, he was studying things over the computer till something caught his eye and brought up a new tab to investigate. The data was going haywire. "What's this?"
But he wasn't the only one to notice this... The people Naruto was working for had also noticed and were tracking it. And not only them, but the world also.
Koushiro glanced over to the laptop he still used time to time and typed away. A window appeared as data formed in the analysing box. An image was building. And computers around the world were also beginning to see this. "Di..." Koushiro spoke as his eyes widen. It couldn't be. "Digimon?" As he finished that word, the egg appeared on screen. He watched as the egg fully formed and hatched before his eyes.
A message popped up on screen from the digimon. "Hello!"
XXXXChildren's war gameXXXX
Koushiro quickly stood; he needed to get to Taichi or someone quickly. And possibly gather everyone to help.
Though the locations varied with the chosen children. Sora was out and about. Hikari was heading to a party, while Jyou heading off for an exam. Yamato and Takeru were visiting their grandmother and Mimi was on vacation in another country. Plus Naruto was also away visiting some of the shaolin temple this summer.
All of most were unknown to Koushiro. And he was unsure how many knew of the digimon. He just hoped Taichi was aware as Koushiro skidded past the route he was meant to take.
Taichi sighed as he looked in the fridge for food. With no luck he looked to his kaa-san. "Isn't there anything to eat?" His mother gave a sound yes as Taichi looked back annoyed. "Man, Hikari gets to go to a birthday party and have cake..." Yuuko glanced over.
"I'll make you a cake." Taichi glanced back unsure if she really was.
"Really?"
"Yes, really. Can you get some eggs for me?" Taichi grabbed an egg as the doorbell went and headed for the door. "I know I bought some flour..." Yuuko muttered looking in her shopping bags. As Taichi opened the door, he looked on surprised at the exhausted Koushiro, as Taichi was confused by his friends state.
"Yo, Koushiro. Come on in." Koushiro took several breaths. Did he not know?
"The egg!" Taichi raised an eyebrow. Egg? Like the one in his hand? "The egg hatched." Taichi looked at his egg to see what he meant. "Not that one!" Taichi looked back blankly. "A digimon egg!" With that he moved in and headed for Taichi's room.
"Oh! Koushiro-kun, welcome!" Yuuko spoke up.
"Hello." Koushiro spoke as he passed through. Taichi put the egg down and hurried, something was wrong. But took the ice pops which were given to him by his mother.
"What's up Koushiro?" Taichi asked as Koushiro turned his screen on and pointed to the digimon. "What's that ugly little thing? Looks like a jellyfish." Taichi muttered as he looked at the grey one eyed blob.
"It's a new type of digimon..." Koushiro stated as the pair sat looking at the screen.
"So what's with it?" Taichi asked as he sees no worry in it right now.
"It was made from fragments of computer bugs converging into one file to become this egg." Taichi raised a looked on curious of this.
"How do you know this?"
"My net friend in LA decrypted the data from the egg shell. He's only in elementary school, but he goes to college too." Taichi blinked before he narrowed his eyes at this info and found it very eerie.
"I'm an elementary school student and I only go to elementary school." The screen beeped and drew the pair's attention as the digimon changed shape from infant to intraining state. "It evolved?" A message popped up.
"An email... From the jellyfish?" Koushiro spoke as both read the message. "I'm hungry..."
"What? It's hungry?" Taichi asked as both looked on at the screen. Koushiro glanced over.
"It eats data to grow, and it's eating a lot. Right now it's only in its intraining state, but once it starts growing, it'll eat data from all over the network." Taichi glanced over.
"What happens when the data's eaten?"
"Computers around the world will go haywire!"
"That's bad." Taichi spoke as he thought of what that could mean.
And it was, probably worse than Taichi thinks as computer screens began to give out the wrong information in shops as they sky rocketed in price. It wasn't long before it hit the news, reporting of errors in the cash registers in super markets across the nation. Yuuko found that strange as she moved to open the door with the drinks for the pair. "Taichi? I'm coming in." The door burst open to the pair of lads and they rushed bye.
"We're going to use tou-san's computer!" Taichi called as he moved by with Koushiro quickly in toe.
"Can you take these please?" Yuuko asked Koushiro who stopped and took a quick drink. "Oh my, were you that thirsty?" Yuuko asked as she watched the actions of the young lad as he put the glass back.
"Arigatou..." As Koushiro entered the room Taichi was busy trying to find what he needed to find the wires.
"How do you do this...?" Taichi asked himself as Koushiro moved over.
"I'll do it."
"Thanks Koushiro..." Taichi spoke as the male took the pc screen down. "I have no clue what to do here."
"Is this connected to the internet?" Koushiro asked as he took the tower and keyboard and mouse down.
"Yeah, with something called... an ISDN." Taichi responded as Koushiro got the system underway. After several minutes Taichi pondered something while Koushiro got his laptop connected. "Hey, is it possible to erase that jellyfish thing from the internet?"
"Delete?" Koushiro asked looking back. "How?" Taichi shrugged.
"Like, tell the phone company or a computer specialist..."
"It's not worth our time." Koushiro retorted as he made sure both were connected as he looked from one screen to the next. "My friend in LA told various specialists about it, but they wouldn't lend him an ear." As the screen came up they found the digimon had digivolved again. Both looked at the new digimon worried.
"It evolved again." Koushiro nods.
"It's in the rookie form now." Kosuhiro muttered as he looked back to his computer.
"This isn't good, Koushiro." Taichi spoke. "This things growing too quickly."
"We have to defeat it now..." Koushiro muttered. But how?
"How?"
"I don't know..."
"Can we only stand by and watch it evolve further?" Taichi asked worried, both sat there quietly and Taichi sighed. "If only Agumon was here..."
"Taichi..."
"Agu...mon..."
"Taichi..."
"If only you were here..."
"Taichi!" Taichi looked up. Agumon?
"Agumon!" Taichi called as he stood looking about. "Is that you? Where are you Agumon?" Taichi called again as Koushiro typed on his laptop.
"Taichi-san, come look!" Taichi turned to Koushiro and knelt beside the computer as a window popped up.
"Agumon?" Taichi called as a 2D image of Agumon and Genni appeared.
"Taichi! Taichi!" Agumon called out excited as Taichi sighed with a smile.
"Agumon..."
"Genni-san too." Koushiro muttered as the elder laughed.
"Long time no see." A puff of smoke on the screen and Tentomon appeared.
"Have you been well, Koushiro-han?"
"Tentomon..." The door opened in the area the three stood and the other digimon came out in the door.
"Piyomon, Gabumon, Palmon and everyone else..." Taichi spoke as he looked as all the digimon stood together with Genni.
"By the way, do you know about him?" Genni asked.
"The new digimon that appeared in the net, right?" Koushiro asked and the elder chuckled at their speed to find it.
"I knew you would..."
"Be careful Taichi..." Agumon called. "It's a very aggressive digimon." Tentomon nods.
"Things will become very bad if you leave him be." Koushiro nods in agreement.
"Hai, but how can we defeat him?" Taichi asked.
"Taichi, we'll fight!" Agumon stated to the pair.
"Agumon... But..." Taichi muttered, how?
"We'll enter the net." Gabumon spoke.
"And like how you saved the digital world." Patamon spoke up from behind.
"It's our turn to help you." Tentomon added.
"Tentomon..." Koushiro muttered by their friend's actions. Taichi nods.
"All right. We're counting on you. Koushiro, your digivice?" Koushiro smirked.
"Right here." Taichi grinned as he pulled his goggles over his head and snapped them back in place.
"We'll evolve you with our digivices."
"Okay!" The digimon responded as Agumon and Tentomon moved to be teleported to the internet.
"I'll send the digimon to the net, so hold on a second." Taichi leaned back with a smile. Time for action.
"Now to let everyone know." With that he got on the phone. "Hello, this is Yagami, is Jyou there? Huh? Exams? Middle school? Okay, I understand." Taichi put the phone down. No matter, next.
"Yamato is out? With Takeru? Excuse me, but to where? Eh, to Shimane?" Taichi spoke as Koushiro entered the main room.
"Shimane..." Yuuko looked to Koushiro as Taichi asked for a phone number.
"Koushiro, would you like some Oolong tea?"
"Yes, please."
Taichi tapped his foot as he rung the address to Yamato's new location. "Hello?" Taichi called as he got through.
"May I ask who's speaking?" The elderly lady asked as she moved the phone to her better ear. All while Taichi was speaking. "Sorry, could you repeat that please?" Taichi mentally growled.
"Can I speak to Yamato please?"
"Oh... Okay, Yamato is my grandson." Taichi wanted to hit the wall. He needed to talk to Yamato.
"Look, there's something important I have to discuss."
"I see right..." With that the elder put the phone down. "Yamato..."
Taichi's mouth hung open, he couldn't believe it... "She... Hung... Up..."
"Aren't you going anywhere for spring break, Koushiro?" Yuuko asked the lad as Taichi moved to the next on the list.
"Not really."
"Don't you feel like going somewhere?"
"Hello?" Taichi spoke as he hoped to get Mimi.
"This is Mimi! Please leave a message!" Taichi sighed. Not again.
"Mimi-chan, this is Taichi. Call me right away, thanks." Taichi put the phone down and sighed. Few more left and he glanced for the number of Naruto's. "Wh... Kaa-san... Where's Naruto's number?" But his mother was busy talking to Koushiro as he helped her with the making of the cake. "Kaa-san!"
"Hm?" Yuuko glanced over.
"Where's the number Hikari got from Naruto to the place he was staying...? It should be here."
"Oh... Hehe..." Taichi blinked as his mother smiled sheepishly.
"I used the paper this morning for my shopping list."
"Where is it?"
"In the bin as I left..." Taichi stared stunned. You have got to be kidding. The teen sighed.
"What's the number of the place Hikari went to?" Taichi asked.
"There's a memo right there..." Taichi glanced down.
'Geez... She throws out Naruto's... He could have been a help... ah' "Hello, I need to speak to Hikari."
"I can't leave yet... We still haven't even blown out the candles." Hikari told her brother as the group waited for her.
"Okay, come home after they blow out the candles." Taichi spoke as he put the phone down. "Koushiro!" The male glanced up from his little task to Taichi. "Can you... Call Sora for me?" Taichi asked, since he knew she would say no to him.
"Sora-san? Maybe you should..." Koushiro dropped the powder cup and caught the phone.
"Just call her..." Taichi muttered as he sat down.
"Are you calling more friends over?" Yuuko asked, Taichi didn't respond. He'd had a hell of a time on the phone.
"Gimmie some oolong tea too..." His mother sighed.
"Why don't you answer me?" She muttered going to make the drink as Koushiro got on the phone.
"I understand. I'll tell her you called." Sora's mother spoke as the door opened and Sora walked in. "One moment... She just came home."
"Who is it?" Sora asked.
"From the Yagami residence."
"Tell him I'm not here." Koushiro nit his eyebrows together confused. What was going on?
"But...?"
"Just tell him that."
"Um... She told me to tell you she's not home..." Koushiro sighed and put the phone down.
"Did something happen?" Koushiro asked Taichi as he drank his tea.
"It's nothing..." Taichi muttered.
"Something happened, right?"
"Never mind." Taichi responded as he didn't want to talk about it.
"This is no time to be fighting..." Taichi blinked and looked his friend both embarrassed and annoyed.
"We're not fighting!"
"Something happened..." Koushiro muttered as he sat back. He just knew it as Taichi stood trying to find a clock to get round this.
"Isn't it about time now?" Koushiro sighed and both got their drinks as Yuuko noticed something going on outside. The Ferris wheel was moving way to fast today. As both slid before the screen, ignoring Yuuko's comment. They saw that the pair was in the web.

"Transfer is complete..." A woman spoke as several others typed on computers. "Tracking the digimon's path to its target." The male standing at the back nods as he watched on annoyed.
"Have we got a call to Naruto yet?"
"No sir... It's hard getting a call to the temple..." The male sighed. Of all times to go on holiday.
"Keep trying... Can you patch a call through to the Yagami's?"
"Trying now..."
XXXXX
"Transfer complete." Koushiro muttered as they looked at the screen.
"Agumon." Taichi called as the two digimon travelled through the internet. Koushiro glanced to the video chat request.
"What's this?" Koushiro spoke.
"Hello Koushiro." The male spoke. Taichi looked across. "Hello Taichi."
"You're that guy who Naruto's working for."
"Good to see you have a good memory... I'll make this quick. You're digimon are in yes."
"They are... I guess you're following them." Koushiro asked.
"That is correct. But we are still trying to contact Naruto. Can you get his partner ready and link him to us." The pair glanced to each other. "Do not worry. We won't do anything... This is you're fight." Both nod.
"Okay... I'll let Genni-san know. And have Kyuubi on his way." The male nods.
"Arigatou... Good luck." The chat ended and the pair looked back to the screen.
"Agumon..."
Inside the two digimon flew down the internet line. "Taichi!" Agumon called. "Koushiro! We're there!" Up above the two digimon, screens of Taichi appeared.
"I'm leaving it to you, Agumon!" The screen turned to Koushiro.
"Tentomon, we have a pre-emptive strike." With that both digimon moved into the open space in the web. The small virus digimon eating away at the data.
"Shall we do it?" Tentomon asked Agumon.
"Okay!" Agumon called diving aside. A blast of lighting shocked the rookie which became dazed as Agumon let loose a barrage of fire balls.
The department Naruto worked for studied the battle closely.
"All right!" Taichi cheered as the blast struck home. But the digimon remained unharmed. It glanced up as it made its high pitched noise. A message came through to the pair. "What do you mean, 'let's play'?" Taichi asked as he appeared behind the digimon pair. "Hurry up and beat that thing!" Agumon nods.
"Tentomon, time to evolve." Koushiro spoke as both digivices went active. Meanwhile, people who sat watching the fight watched on amazed to what they were seeing.
"Agumon/Tentomon Shinka! Greymon/Kabuterimon!" The two champions took off as they pushed off the wall side and dashed the virus rookie. It retaliated and both champions evaded and attacked. Greymon striking home with his attack.
"Good." Greymon growled as Taichi appeared.
"That was easy." Koushiro appeared worried.
"Matte..." Both stared at the screen as the rookie's data shifted. A new digimon in its place. It's form large and white with red strips and white spikes. It glanced up as both champions looked on.
"It evolved." Taichi spoke surprised by the result.
"Don't worry; it's the champion form, like ours." Koushiro responded as both champions landed on the wall to attack again. The digimon turned to look at them, but it jumped with great speed and reflexes for its form. It jumped at them and both champions jumped forward before being crushed and turned to the digimon; both let loose they're attacks on the large digimon.
"Did we do it?" Greymon asked as the digimon jumped out the smoke cloud and tucked its form in and flew at the pair like a bullet. The pair attacked but it failed as both dodged and turned to the digimon.
"No effect? What's happening here?" Kabuterimon asked as the digimon landed and jumped aside and attacked as it kept at a distance. The pair moved to evade, but the insect champion was hit first.
"Kabuterimon! Uagh!" Greymon yelled out as it was struck.
"Greymon!" Taichi called out, how can it be winning?
"Taichi-san, I know now." Taichi looked to Koushiro. "It's Ultimate level."
"Then it..."
"Yes... It evolved twice."
"This isn't good." Taichi muttered. "We'll have to evolve to ultimate!" With that their digivice glowed and the pair began their next stage. The ultimate virus looked on and dashed forward. Taichi gasped as they saw the digimon attacking the two evolving digimon.
"It's attacking during the evolution." Koushiro spoke surprised, they never expected this. The digimon struck the two almost ultimate's leaving them in smoke. The ultimate laughed in its high pitch noise and ran off. As the smoke cleared it showed the two rookies.
"Agumon you okay?"
"Gomen, Taichi..."
"Tentomon..."
"It's unbelievable." Tentomon spoke as Taichi sighed sitting back. What now?
"We'll let them rest for a while." Koushiro spoke. A message came to them from an unknown source. "What's this? Leave it to us...?" Taichi glanced over. "Could be that guy again? They were watching no doubt... Must be saying leave it to Naruto."
"Well that's his job..." Taichi muttered as he lay back.
"We're getting emails around the world Taichi... They're watching this fight..."
"What they say?"
XXXXXX
Naruto yawned as he sat cross legged in the temple grounds. 'I must attain perfection with the sage mode... The longer lasting the better...' Naruto mused to himself as he held the red rings round his eyes. A bike pulled outside the temple and a figure rushed up and gasped as he got to the top.
"Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto opened his eyes and stood as he stopped the technique. He walked up confused that someone had come looking for him. The figure held a phone out. "It's important." Naruto put the phone to his ear.
"Hello?"
"Glad to finally speak. This is a private line since the phone lines gone down." Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean? Something wrong?"
"Definitely. Take a ride with the driver. We need you to a location with a strong network. We're getting one sorted in a remote area. There's a digimon causing havoc and you're friend failed to stop it."
"Digimon? Okay..." Naruto waved his hand and the biker nods. "Explain the details as we go..."
XXXXXX
"Moshi moshi moshi moshi?" Taichi repeated as they read the email from the virus. "What is that?"
"We're in trouble." Koushiro responded. "Look at this address!" Taichi looked at it. "He's in the NTT system."
"NTT?"
"We have to contact everyone." Koushiro spoke and Taichi quickly hurried to the phone.
First Hikari.
"I can't just leave when I'm the one that's winning."
"Forget the game and just come home! Come on..." Taichi growled as he started the next call. "Busy signal? Damn..." Taichi dialled another. "Busy again..." Dialled again. "Even Jyou's..." Again. "Yamato's too?" Taichi spoke in surprise by all this. Not one call. "It's busy at every house."
"How about Sora-san?"
"I already called there!" The phone rang and both looked to the phone. "Hello?"
"Moshi... Moshi... Moshi..." It was repeated over and over again.
"This isn't good..."
No it wasn't... All round the system, phone after phone was being rung, the digimon was trying to crash the system.
"What's going on?" Taichi asked as to why the digimon had been ringing them.
"He's hacked the phone switches and is repeatedly calling all the phone numbers. He's trying to bring the system down."
"What can we do then? If the phones don't work, then we can't contact the others, and the internet will also..."
"Uh..." Koushiro spoke as he stopped at the beep. Taichi stared, no... It didn't... Koushiro glanced back nervously. "It disconnected..." Taichi stared on... What next?
Meanwhile Naruto was reaching his destination. A small area had been taken up with vans. People typing on the computers, as many plugged up the cables to the private online system. "Good, your here." Naruto looked to see the male on the screen of the computer. "Sorry, I can't be there in person to watch. But the digimon has crashed the phone line. It's getting more troublesome."
"How can I help?" Naruto asked. As the large screens were turned on.
"You'll work from the main system, and we'll watch the fight from the minor lines. This digimon seems to be jumping from one line to the next. We need to put an end to it, so we'll be changing lines to keep it from getting ours." Naruto nods.
"Got it..." Naruto turned to the screen. "Go time!" Naruto spoke as he held up his digivice. With that Kyuubi appeared through the internet pipeline. "Hey fox, how's it going?"
"Long time, no see kid. Seems you're doing well?" Naruto smirked. "We're going to fight then?"
"Of course... You think you can go to ultimate? This digimon double evolved." Kyuubi nods.
"Yeah... Like last time... Let's get to it Naruto!" Naruto nods.
"We there?" Naruto called.
"Almost." Naruto nods and swung his right hand out and his chakra swirled around the hand.
"Digisoul... Charge! Chou-shinka!" Naruto roared as the digivice fired into the system and struck Kudamon.
"Kudamon... Chou-shinka!" A red line shot into the air and the virus looked up as the light expanded. "Rizegreymon!" Kyuubi looked at the digimon and swung the cannon round. "Take this! Trident revolver!" The digimon crouched and jumped out the firing range. 'It's quick...' Rizegreymon turned and the digimon was gone. "Kisama..." Kyuubi glanced about.
'Kyuubi's form is too bulky...' "Kyuubi! Keep moving as you're faster with those wings! If you keep moving about, you'll be able to keep a better look on the situation."
"You got it kid!" The wings glowed and burst to life and Kyuubi rocketed up and turned. He aimed his cannon out.
"Target 90 degrees south of Rizegreymon." Naruto looked over.
"Kyuubi!"
"I got it!" The fox jetted out the way as the digimon attacked and aimed again. But it was gone. "So fast."
"Rizegreymon's speed with its body can't counter with the time it takes to aim..."
"Can't you have a less bulky digimon?" The male asked on screen.
"That's as far as Kyuubi goes... He can't do mega state... Even then, I don't know if it will be small enough to be able to fight." The male on screen growled.
"Can't we do anything?" Naruto looked back to the screen.
"We can't... It's up to Kyuubi..."
"Where are you..." Kyuubi muttered as he glanced about. A high pitched laugh made the fox turn and he was struck in the chest and into the wall side. "Solid strike!" The digimon was thrown off and jumped away. "Trident revolver!" The digimon evaded the shots. "Damn... It's too fast here..."
Meanwhile, Taichi was underway using the emergency phone service to get a message to everyone.
"Hello? Yamato? When you hear this, give me a response."
"Jyou, give me a response when you hear this."
"Hikari? I told you to come home!"
"Sora? I'll apologize for the other day. So when you get this, give me a reply."
"Mimi-chan, when you hear this message, give me a call." Taichi sighed as he finished.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Yuuko spoke as she walked over to the small table. Taichi glanced over confused.
"Huh? What?" His mother picked up a card.
"There's a postcard from Mimi-chan." Taichi's eyes widen and reached for the card.
"Eh? From Mimi-chan? Where is she?" Taichi asked looking at the front. His mouth widened. "H-hawaii?" Taichi sighed sadly at the fact they were having no luck today with this digimon... How was Naruto doing, he wondered...
Said duo was having trouble. The virus was playing them.
"Damn it stay still!" Kyuubi roared. "Rising destroyer!" The beams fired out and the virus ultimate evaded through the digital debris. "Damn it..."
"Kyuubi... We can't get it... It's too quick..." Naruto spoke.
"Then what now?"
"Let it go for now... We need to think of a new plan."
"You mental? This things wrecking your world!"
"We can't do anything till we know how to fight it... Let's let it go and regroup with Taichi and the others." Kyuubi growled as the digimon looked on and crouched and lashed out.
"Heh... Trident revolver!" The digimon fired back against Rizegreymon and struck the body. "Ugh!"
"Kyuubi!" Naruto called as the virus digimon chuckled and left.
"Naruto... If I don't kill that thing soon... I'm killing you..." Naruto sighed.
"Good to see you're okay." Naruto spoke as he sighed. He turned to the guy on the screen. "What now?"
"We'll keep track of this bug. Also, let's try get connected with the Yagami boy." Naruto nods and sat down.
"I need to think of something... Give me a moment." Naruto spoke as he got into a meditated stance. 'Onii-chan...' Naruto called as he felt his mind leave reality.
Within Naruto's mental realm. Within the small canyon and a level below the door to the archives where two tall pillars stood. Both glowed and connected a beam of light that swirled and formed a portal. Naruto stepped through and looked at the home Kaze had. With a crouch, Naruto leapt up and landed on the floor above. Naruto looked on as his 'brother' training against an invisible foe.
"Good to see you've come..." Naruto nods as he walked up.
"I'm sure you're aware of the problem I'm having." Kaze didn't stop, but he did respond.
"Rizegreymon is all about power. His bulky body is not for speed. That's the disadvantage... I hoped the cannon on the left arm would be the battle power needed to win his fights." Naruto stood looking on.
"Then you see the trouble. Does Kyuubi have a mega state? One that can win maybe?" Kaze stopped and took a breath. There was silence for several moments.
"Yeah..." Kaze glanced to Naruto. "But as of yet, it's not ready for battle." Naruto raised an eyebrow. "The mega state is something I've been designing. The digivice is connected to us. It is how I made Rizegreymon..."
"Then what is the trouble..." Kaze sighed as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Time for me to finish... I've designed the mega with special components... It's almost there."
"Then why are you fighting nothing?" Naruto stated as he looked on at his other self. If he was able to make the digimon, Rizegreymon, then why is he taking his time off from making the mega form?
"Naruto... How the mega is made is through my methods... Remember, we are two separate beings now. I'm the person who holds ever growing knowledge..." Kaze stated looking to the sky. "Even now... The archives are getting bigger still. In the year you've been here... The time you've put in training has aided you. I've just got to finish one last thing. And the mega will be ready then."
"This isn't a game. This thing is wrecking the whole world's cyber net." Kaze sighed.
"Time is important. If you rush me, it will all be for nothing." Naruto growled. "You want Kyuubi to be the strongest he can be, then, let me finish. For now, tail that virus..." Kaze said turning his back to Naruto. "If you want to win... Fighting is the best bet..."
"But Rizegreymon can't keep up... What's the point if he can't hit it?" Kaze sighed and looked back.
"Tell me this, my little fool." Naruto blinked at such a statement. "Did the fox look like he was in danger of losing? No. He was being played with, batted about like a ball... The digimon virus knows not to take on that digimon frontally. It can't harm it at its current level..."
"How can you tell...?" Kaze gave Naruto a serious look.
"Why run round something, if you can win... Why let it continue to let it attack if it's easy to defeat. That virus is not stupid. It's playing with one of the strongest ultimate's about in the digimon world. If it could so easily win, why play games? It attacked two digimon during evolution, knowing it would be bad if it didn't. That's why it by passed the champion state. So it can fight on a level above to season champions. It's not stupid and it knows how to fight. Stopping it from gathering more data will stop its evolution track. It needs more energy to digivolve. Otherwise why stay an ultimate?"
"I see... I didn't see that." Naruto muttered.
"That's why I'm here... Naruto, you're not the mental type." Naruto glared at that. "You are the hard core hand to hand combat type, you throw a punch and fight on the fly. I'm here, to help you. I'm the knowledge that helps you when times are tough and you need a new way round... Give me the time Naruto... Now..." Kaze spoke walking off. "Leave me to it..." With that he got into stance on the training ground. "I'll try getting it done..." Naruto stared a moment.
Even after a year... It was hard taking in the fact that there was two of him. One that follows the other... Naruto was following his older self... The one who will pass his knowledge, to him like any brother would do, for their young sibling. He couldn't help but find that him being two beings was far more troublesome. But he guessed the other half felt the same. One felt inferior... The one too superior, both annoyed they couldn't become one and end this problem.
Naruto turned to leave and walked back through the gate, and back to reality. As Naruto opened his eyes and stood looking on at the ultimate. "Kyuubi... Let's go after him, become Reppamon and let's go." Kyuubi nods and Naruto turned to the group on the computers.
"Making a line to the target... Opening... Now..." With that the gate opened and Kyuubi was off.
Back with Taichi and Koushiro. Taichi was laying on his back, finding it hard to believe he was having this much trouble with today. They were supposed to be the chosen children, what happened to back when they stood together.
"We're not that tight of a group, are we?" Koushiro asked Taichi as he worked with the computers having gone home to get something to aid him. Taichi glanced over, what was he doing?
"By the way, where were you?" Taichi asked, having seen his friend leave just before he began sending messages to his fellow digidestined. Koushiro sat back and glanced over as he waved the phone.
"A satellite cell phone." Taichi looked confused by why he had one. "With this, we don't have to go through an NTT switch, and we can directly connect to a foreign access point."
"Can't we use that to call Yamato?" Taichi asked; that could really help them out. Koushiro shook his head.
"Won't be possible. Local calls still go through the switches..." Taichi groaned as he lay back at this news. "Why don't we check if there are any more messages?" Taichi sat up at that.
"Oh yeah. I forgot about that." With that he got the phone and checked the messages. Both put their ears to it to listen.
"Hello? This is Yamato, what did you want?" Both smiled and sighed with relief.
"I knew we could count on them." Taichi exclaimed as they dialled away.
On the other end, Takeru and Yamato listened to the next message from Koushiro. "Do you have your digivices?" Both brother looked surprised to each other, as they didn't expect Koushiro with Taichi. The pair quickly dialled and Takeru replied.
"We have them."
"Hey? What's going on?" Yamato asked. Both males nod to each other and get under way with the next call.
"Get to a computer quickly. There's a new digimon out on the net." Both brothers looked to each other at this info. "We need you to help us fight."
"That's not good..." Takeru muttered as Yamato dialled. "We have our digivices... But grandma doesn't have a computer." Both Taichi and Koushiro's mouths dropped at this call. What now?
"I don't think there will be one in all of Shimane..." Yamato spoke next and Taichi fell back once more.
"This sucks! We're screwed!" Koushiro quickly dialled up.
"Please try and locate a computer as quickly as you can! I'm sure there's a computer in Shimane somewhere" Koushiro sighed, they could only wait now. The pair spent their time waiting on the computer to connect up. As they got the resounding okay, Koushiro looked over delighted. "Alright... it connected!" Taichi raised his arm to cheer.
"Thank you satellite cell phone!" Koushiro blinked at the screen.
"Huh...? This is bad." Koushiro quickly turned to his computer to locate the runaway digimon. "Did it leave NTT?" Taichi sat waiting as Koushiro got a message. "Found him. He's in America!" Taichi blinked several times at this in surprise.
"America?"
With Naruto the blond stood looking on. "Why's it taking so long?" The people on the computer didn't respond. "Well?" One glanced to Naruto.
"It's taking time to get trough, seems we're being watched on another line. We just need clearance." The male on the screen sighed at this info.
"That's what happens when you've got more than one group like us... They're watching our movements and now we need to give the reason why we're using this line to travel about the web." Naruto sighed. Great... That digimon was getting farther away. "Once we get clearance on this line we can proceed... That's the trouble with using these networks. They're fast, but going outside the country with them is not seen very well with the ones it's accessing."
"Can't we use a normal line then? Or another source?"
"No can do Naruto..." The woman spoke. "With all the trouble we can't go through that route... And any other will no doubt be crowded with other users. To ensure the fastest possible, we must stick to the line we've got. In ordered to give us no lag and ensure optimum fighting ability." Naruto sighed. How troublesome.
"Can we connect with Taichi yet?" The group of people on the computers glanced to each other.
"Connecting now..." Naruto sighed and looked as a camera was set up. Naruto looked on as the screen flicked on with Taichi and Koushiro.
"Taichi, look." Koushiro spoke as they looked on at Naruto. Taichi grinned. Finally.
"Naruto." Naruto waved at the screen.
"Yo! How you guys doing?"
"Are we glad to see you? How did fighting that virus go?" Naruto chuckled slightly.
"Not very well... It got away... We're trying to keep up with it... But we're having trouble." Both males sighed.
"Great..." Taichi muttered as Yamato and Takeru appeared. Both brothers received a link with Naruto also.
"Taichi, Koushiro... Naruto?" Yamato spoke as he looked at the three.
"Yamato." Taichi called out.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Yamato responded.
"We've got our digivices." Naruto smirked slightly after Takeru called out.
"Okay... Looks like we have a chance now." Koushiro nods.
"Thank god you found a computer." Yamato gave a nervous grin at that comment.
"Er... Yeah..." Yamato glanced behind him to the barber and his customers as one of the guys who helped them find one has a shave done. Taichi raised an eyebrow to the funny looks the pair had as the group round the two commented.
"Oi! What's wrong Yamato? Oi!" Yamato grinned.
"Uh... Hehe... It's nothing..." Taichi sighed.
"I was worried for a while there..." Taichi commented as Koushiro was busy drinking the Oolong tea.
"Taichi-san...? Did you want this oolong tea?" Taichi glanced over before Koushiro downed the drink. Taichi gave a worried grin.
"Aren't you drinking too much of it?" Naruto glanced over to the group on the computers.
"Well?" The woman nods as the male glanced over.
"We're in... We're patching a line for you all to converge on." Naruto nods.
"Okay!"
Back in the net, Tentomon and Agumon moved on through the net work. "Aren't the others connected yet?" Tentomon asked the small reptile.
"If not, then it's up to us two to fight it again."
"But..." Beside them a line from the web connected up to them.
"Agumon! Tentomon!" Both digimon looked over to Gabumon and Patamon.
"Ah! It's Gabumon and Patamon!"
"I'm here also..." They glanced back to Kyuubi.
"Ah... Reppamon." Tentomon spoke as the champion digimon joined the group.
"We're here to help!" Patamon called.
"I hope we're not late." Gabumon asked as the fox looked over.
"It could have been needed sooner."
"How did it go Reppamon?" Agumon asked.
"It's fast... I couldn't keep up." With that said, the group of children appeared on screen.
"Now that we're all together," Naruto spoke. "We have a chance."
"It's up to you, Gabumon." Yamato spoke.
"Good luck, Patamon!" Takeru called as it changed to Koushiro.
"I'll guide you to it." The digimon nod.
"This time, I'll kick its butt!" Agumon called.
"Does it even have one?" Kyuubi asked as they got close to the target. At that, they entered the battle field and the digimon stood on many of the metal floating frames. It chuckled in the high pitched tone with an arrow above it. With a sign next to the arrow saying, 'I'm over here'. Yamato growled.
"That little..." Taichi and Naruto nod.
"Let's teach this bug a lesson!" Naruto called.
"Yamato! Here we go!" Taichi called and Yamato nods.
"Evolve to mega!" The two rookie digimon nod.
"Kyuubi!" Naruto called and the fox nods.
"Got it!"
"Chou-shinka!"
"Agumon/Gabumon, warp shinka!"
"Reppamon, chou-shinka!"
"Wargreymon/Metalgarurumon/Rizegreymon!" The virus ultimate looked up at the two mega's as they rushed by the digimon as Kyuubi raised his cannon.
"Trident revolver!" The blast struck home and the digimon spiralled in the air.
"Got it!" Taichi called as all 5 looked on and Takeru looked to Patamon.
"Patamon, you should evolve too!" Patamon nods and the digimon looked up as the resounding whirling sound of the digivice went off.
"Patamon shinka!" The virus digimon jumped and digivolved rapidly.
"It's evolved..." Yamato spoke stunned by the digimon as Taichi appeared.
"Whoa, it's fast!" The digimon lashed out far and fast and struck Patamon and the rookie hit the metal frame.
"Patamon!" Tentomon called flying to aid, only to be struck also. The virus digimon rested on the frame as both its arms held the two rookies at bay.
"Patamon! Are you okay?" Takeru called in panic.
"Tentomon!" Koushiro called.
"I'm ok... But... Patamon...?" Koushiro looked to the rookie as Takeru cried with worry as Patamon remained unresponsive.
"Patamon! I'll be right there! Patamon! Patamon! Patamon!" Yamato looked at his brother as his rage boiled at his brother woe.
"Look... Look... Look what you did to Patamon!" Yamato roared as Metalgarurumon dashed at the digimon.
"You're gonna pay!" Both Naruto and Taichi roared as Wargreymon attacked. The virus mega looked at the three as Metalgarurumon attacked with a barrage of missiles. The digimon dodged and took the blast from Rizegreymon. The virus attacked back at the wolf mega and Kyuubi took the blast with his cannon, Wargreymon burst through the smoke and rushed the digimon with its right fist back with dramon claw ready. But the virus mega lashed out and destroyed the claw. But took Wargreymon's powerful right hook, and left it spiralling and it slammed into the pillar.
"Trident revolver!" Taichi watched on from his screen as he called out orders.
"Tentomon, take care of Patamon." Beside him, Koushiro fidgeted. He shouldn't have had so much to drink. "Waregreymon, press the attack!" The same result again with the left claw and a powerful left hook to the virus mega.
"T-Taichi-san..."
"Looking good! Go! Go!" Taichi called not hearing the calls of Koushiro's strain.
"T-Taichi-san...!"
"Yeah, like that! Go!" Taichi called on not hearing his friend still.
"Taichi-san!" Koushiro yelled and Taichi glanced over.
"What?" Taichi asked as Koushiro's face kept changing as he knew he couldn't hold on.
"I can't hold it..."
"What's wrong?"
"I have to go to the bathroom... Excuse me... Please..." Koushiro stammered out as he stumbled for the door. Taichi looked from his friend to the battle.
"Oi...! Do you have to go at a time like this? Oi!"
"Yeah, finish him off!" Yamato called as the digimon looked cornered as the three digimon attacked. Taichi turned.
"Please hit!" The virus digimon jumped and dodged. "Wha... Shit!" As Taichi hit the screen... The screen went blue and the teens face turned to horror.
"What's wrong Taichi?" Yamato called as Wargreymon stopped moving.
"No! Wargreymon's stopped moving!" Naruto called as the mega took this chance and attacked. "Kyuubi!"
"I've got it!" The fox called taking the blast. "Uargh!"
"Kyuubi!" Both males called as Naruto turned to the people. "Where's Taichi-san?"
"Their line has crashed."
"No..." Naruto growled looking back.
Taichi was panicking at what happened? He looked left and right round the screen to see if a plug had come out as Koushiro returned. "Sorry about that..." Taichi turned to his friend.
"It's not working anymore!" Koushiro looked confused and then to the screen and his face turned to horror and shoved his friend aside.
"What'd you do?"
"I didn't do anything!" Taichi responded. "Why'd you have to go to the bathroom, at an important time like this?" Koushiro growled.
"No good! You made the computer freeze!" Koushiro stated as he started the computer up again.
"I didn't do it on purpose!"
"That's why you and Sora-san get into fights!" Koushiro responded.
"I... I just..." Taichi spoke as he found he had no choice now, having been dodging it all day. He sighed as he calmed down. "Got her a present..."
"Present?" Koushiro muttered confused. This was why they were fighting? Taichi sighed as he sat back.
"It was her birthday... So I gave her a hairclip. So she says 'don't you like the hat I'm wearing?' and then we got into a fight." Taichi said as he finished.
"That's so petty..." Koushiro muttered at the reason. Taichi looked back to his friend.
"But I apologized!" Both turned to the screen as they connected.
"It's back to normal." Koushiro spoke as he connected them back to the battle field.
"Wargreymon!" Both males jaws widen as they looked on at the destruction. Yamato and Naruto were less than pleased.
"Taichi! Koushiro!" Yamato roared at the pair.
"What the hell happened?" Naruto roared as Wargreymon floated on its back and Metalgarurumon floated sideways. Kyuubi's form floated slowly as its cannon arm looked wrecked.
"Wargreymon..." Taichi called, but got no response. "Wargreymon...!" Taichi called again and again to get his partner to wake.
"Tai...chi..." Wargreymon spoke as its form awoke finally and Taichi sighed as he sat back.
"If I... If I was only there..." Beside him Koushiro was reading the email that had been sent.
"You lost again." Taichi looked over to Koushiro.
"What?" Taichi spoke thinking Koushiro had said that.
"That was from Cambella. You almost won; what were you doing? This is from Berlin." Taichi growled and shoved his mate aside. He didn't need to be remained of his error.
"What's with you?" Taichi growled as he held Koushiro's collar.
"I was just reading the emails that came in." Koushiro stated as Taichi wasn't finding it amusing.
"Both of you stop!" Yamato called though the screen. "It's no time to argue!" Taichi sighed and let go.
"Stupid mail!" Taichi growled as he sat back down to look at the screen. All they needed to do now was find this virus.
Said virus had a plan going as it held the clock in its hands. With a wave it vanished. It sent a message as the group waited. "Which one has the clock?" Naruto spoke.
"Oh no..." Naruto turned to the woman. "I've just received word..." Naruto raised an eyebrow and looked on as the mega began to copy itself. As a timer already started going for some reason alongside the multiplying digimon. "A nuclear missile has been fired from a military base in the united states."
"Nani?" Naruto and everyone else called.
"The virus seems to have broken into an untouchable system..." The male on the screen spoke amused. "Impressive."
"This is nothing to be amused about... Where's it going to land?" Naruto roared and looked at the clock. "You don't think..."
"It must be when it's going to hit its target." Koushiro spoke.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Taichi spoke as Koushiro looked on at his laptop.
"There's one missile." Naruto glanced back over. "Codename: peacekeeper
"How fast is it moving?" Naruto asked.
"With a range of 20,000 kilometres..."
"How fast? And where's it going to hit?" Naruto called.
"15,000 miles per hour at max speed. Which is about Mach twenty three."
"And it's target?" Taichi called through as the group wanted answers.
"Target..." The woman muttered.
"Well?" Naruto asked angrily, as they needed to know.
"Obaida... Japan." The group were silent... Naruto clenched his fist.
"Kyuubi! You there?" Naruto called. "I know you've had it rough. But we need to go one last round. Come on, get up!"
The fox grunted as its form began to move. "If you think I'm that weak... You've got another thing coming." Kyuubi growled as its eyes regained its light. Naruto smiled.
"Kyuubi..." At that the mega's rose from their positions.
"We... Can still fight." Wargreymon grunted.
"Wargreymon..."
"Take us to it."
"Metalgarurumon." With Naruto's group the people were typing away.
"With the size of Rizegreymon... Sending all will take some time... So please, leave this to us... We'll get your digimon to this virus..." Naruto nods as the gate appeared.
"There's so many..." Taichi muttered.
"The only way to stop that missile going off is to destroy that virus. We defeat it; we can stop the fuse... But that's only if we find the right target." Koushiro added as the group watched on.
"Meaning..." Naruto muttered. "We've got to take them all..." Naruto smirked. "It's like fighting shadow clones... Got to find the real one."
"I guess it's now or never..." Taichi muttered. "Gomen..." Taichi apologised to Koushiro.
"Seven minutes." The woman on the screen spoke as the digimon took off. All three determined not to give up to the very end. At that the digimon entered an endless black... But it wasn't because the website was.
There were thousands... Thousands upon thousands of virus mega level digimon. The group could only look on at the immense amount.
"H-how many are there?" Naruto asked.
"4,000... 8,000... 16,000 They just keep copying!" Koushiro called as all the digimon stopped and turned on the three digimon.
"Oh... Shit..." Naruto muttered as the mega digimon fired on the three. Rizegreymon's body took the brunt first; the size was no good there. "Kyuubi!"
The two mega's twirled round the firing digimon and Metalgarurumon's form was caught in the fire and was hit next. Yamato looked on worried as Wargreymon moved to help. "Metalgarurumon!" Taichi called as the last digimon was hit too.
Wargreymon should be faster than that; its form was built for speed. "Something's wrong with Wargreymon!" Takeru spoke up.
"It's because of the e-mails from all over the world!" Koushiro spoke as he looked on at the vast amount come in from everyone watching. "It's causing our connecting to lag!"
"They're getting hit really bad!" Takeru responded as three clouds of smoke littered the area.
"Everyone in the world, please stop sending e-mails. It's slowing the reaction time of Wargreymon!" Koushiro called as he typed away at the response. Naruto, Yamato and Taichi all gasped as Wargreymon, Metalgarurumon and Kyuubi in Kudamon form appeared from the smoke.
"W-wargreymon!" Taichi called as he stared on... He needed to help... He needed to be there and help Wargreymon! Slowly he moved to put his hands to the screen.
"Koushiro-kun, would you like some lunch?" Yuuko asked as she opened the door.
"The e-mails aren't stopping..." Koushiro muttered as he looked on as the mail kept coming and coming. "It's been five minutes already..." Seeing as they were so engrossed in their things, Yuuko left them to it.
"Looks like I'm disturbing you..." Yuuko muttered and shut the door. She blinked and opened it again. "Huh? Where did Taichi go?"
Where had he gone? Where had he and Yamato gone? Both had left the real world and into the digital one to aid their companions.
"Two data strands have entered the area." A male spoke as he typed away.
"What?" The male on screen spoke.
"Taichi... Yamato..." Naruto muttered as he looked on. Naruto clenched his fist. He couldn't do anything now.
Taichi's form landed on the mega as entered the internet. "Wargreymon..." Above Metalgarurumon, Yamato came through and beside his digital friend.
"Metal... Metalgarurumon! It's me, Yamato, can you hear me?" Yamato called out to his friend but got no response. "Wake up!"
"Yamato..." Taichi spoke as he looked from his friend to Wargreymon. "I'm here!" Taichi called to Wargeymon. "I'm here too! To fight together! I... I won't let you fight alone! I'll be here with you, Wargreymon!" Taichi looked on for several moments before Wargreymon's form began to move. Its eyes glowing bright.
'Naruto!' Naruto's form shook as Kaze called. 'It's done! Go for it!' Naruto's eyes narrowed.
"Hang on fox!" Naruto called as his chakra burst to life in his hand. The screen said ultimate evolution. "Digisoul charge... Over drive!" Naruto roared as his ears and tail gave a glow as he fired the beam. Within the confined of the seal Kaze smirked as the portal before him opened.
"Show time!" Kaze roared and dashed forward.
Meanwhile the two mega level digimons form began to expand in size, both Yamato and Taichi watched on as the digimon's bodies vanished into their heads and formed arms. Wargreymon on the left, Metalgarurumon on the right.
The will of everyone watching on and wanting them to win gave the digimon the energy to form the body. It formed a large digimon egg. Beside them the beam struck the fox and a white digimon egg appeared behind the forming mega's egg. The fox's eyes meet a familiar blue. "Not... Possible."
"Oh I'm here fox... Let's go one last round." The fox smirked.
"You're not Naruto..." The male smirked.
"Call me Kaze..." With that the pair glowed in their confines. Kaze stood as his right hand glowed with energy. Both spoke in unison as Kaze put his glowing red hand to his chest.
"May two become one once more! Kudamon, warp-shinka!" The rookie digimon broke into particles as it formed round the being of Kaze.
The two digimon eggs glowed and the largest of the pair came to life, a large white knight with Wargreymon as the left arm and Metalgarurumon right. Koushiro, Naruto and Takeru looked on.
"Wargeymon and..."
"Metalgarurumon..."
"Combined." The digimon swung its arms out and stood to attention with Taichi and Yamato on the shoulders. Naruto turned to the other egg. What was going on in there? At that the viruses attacked and there seemed no escape. But with a swung of the left arm, a sword shot from the head of Wargreymon, and with one great swing, a shockwave sent all the energy attacks back. Wiping out a vast amount of the virus.
With a slow swing of the right arm, was a large cannon that came from the mouth of Metalgarurumon. The digimon raised it above its head and fired. Whipping out another group of viruses, and then another, and another, and another. Till all that stood was endless white.
But two viruses remained. "There's two left! One of them has the clock." Koushiro called. 'This isn't good... We're almost out of time!' The two viruses jumped about evading the large digimon as it tried to follow. But couldn't.
"Kyuubi! Hurry up!" Naruto roared. "If there was ever a need to get you going, now would be a great time!"
"One minute left..." The two on the large white knight looked about for the two megas. They needed to choose now! In the real world, the missile was plummeting their way. The digimon's laughed as they kept running.
"Onii-chan! There's no time left! You have to choose one! It's now or never! Onii-chan!" Takeru yelled.
'They're too fast...' Koushiro mused as he watched on with worry. They're all dead if they can't stop this virus. 'Even if we have more power, it's no use if we can't catch them. What can we do?"
"Thirty seconds left!" Takeru yelled as he watched the time left fade away. Koushiro's eyes widen and he turned to the computer.
"That's it... The e-mails! If I forward all this mail to its address..." With that he quickly typed away. 'If there is ever a miracle... Let the first strike be the end.' The digimon chuckled as they jumped about. Koushiro brought his right arm up. "Go!" With that send the mail right to the virus. The digimon landed and stopped as they had to process the data of all the mail. "Hurry guys! It's stopped choose now! There's ten seconds left!" Yamato and Taichi nod and the digimon rockets at the one before it.
"Nine, eight, seven, six, five..."
"Kaze!"
"Four, three, two, one!"
The sword struck home and the two held their breath as they stared on. The head broke away... There was no clock...
But nothing had happened. Unaware was all but Naruto of the second digimon with its weapon connected into the other. The large weapon glowed vibrantly with a blue aura pulsing as it had glowing white and red armour and held a large gold and black shield. The digimon watched satisfied at the clock as the time stopped at 00:00:02 and 00:00:01 seconds.
The missile hit the lake and Koushiro dashed out. "Did they we do it?" Koushiro stared on with unbelievable relief and words couldn't form as he watched the missile fall into the lake side on. Luckily Taichi was right beside him to finish.
"We made it..." Taichi spoke with the joy as he stared on at how close they had been to deaths door.
And so they saved the day, everything slowly died away from there as the group relaxed from their fight while everyone but those who watched the fight went on unaware of the battle. Naruto sat with a smirk as he sat in the temple grounds.
'You really cut that close... Five seconds and you broke a greater distance than that other digimon.'
"Hehe... The hero always shows up at the last possible moment.' Naruto mentally scowled.
'You cocky bastard.'
'Damn straight... now if you excuse me... I've got my work to be getting back too.' With that the male walked off into the archives and Naruto smirked with a happy thought. Looks like, he'll get to see Hikari again.
End.
