As Akira was bewildered about this statement, Balrog climbed up the wall and waited for his target to be on the right position, and there the F-4 member anticipated his opponent's next move, as the homicidal matador was attempting to execute the Flying Barcelona Attack, and when Balrog executed the move, the F-4 member secretly opened the thermos, and when his airborne opponent is just inches away, he tossed the hot liquid upward, splashing his face, and the matador hits the floor, clutching his face in pain.
"AHHH!! MY FACE!! MY BEAUTIFUL FACE!!"
When the Spanish fighter stood up, Akira did a running flying kick, the force sent Balrog crashing against the side of the cage, which loosened that foundation, and the one part of the cage fell on top of the spectators, trapping them. The F-4 member made a dash for it, but as he was about to approach the exit, Kangamon appeared and did a spinning tail attack. This caused Akira to fall backwards, and was surrounded by the goons and the Digimons.
"Sorry, mate…but I can't let you get away…you'll have to get past us first."
Kangamon picked up the injured F-4 member and did a series of knee attacks and shoved him towards the goons and Digimons, who took turns in mauling him. This further weakened the F-4 member as words of what Balrog said about the F-4 echoed his head before passing out.

In what seemed to be a long sleep, Akira slowly opened his eyes and he finds himself back in Japan , inside a hospital room where a nurse had just checked his IV and his condition. To his surprise, he was dressed in a hospital gown and only a few bandages on his arms. This is strange for him, as he recalled being stabbed and slashed on his upper body, yet he didn't feel any pain.
The nurse looked at him and smiled, and placed a hand on her patient when the F-4 member tried to get up, gently pushing him back to bed. The doctor came inside glanced at his patient and then at the nurse.
"How is the patient?"
"He looks fine, but he should rest."
"Where am I?"
The F-4 member finally spoke after regaining most of his senses and his curiosity took over his judgment, wanting to know what just happened.
"You're in Japan now, as the Japanese consulate and the Spanish government agreed to fly you back here after you escaped from your captors. You're very lucky to be alive, and you escaped with a few minor bruises and scratches."
"But...I was surrounded by goons and Digimons...in a middle of a highway where..."
"The Spanish police managed to track you down...so no worries. All you need to do now is to get some rest..."
The doctor and nurse left Akira so that the F-4 member can rest, but then the F-4 member began to wonder how he ended up here in Japan when he was in the middle of nowhere in Spain . He suffered a lot of injuries yet he only got minor ones?
And who tracked him down? He was dragged away via a limousine, no signal from a cellphone, and that he was surrounded by a lot of bad guys. Certainly this doesn't make a lot of sense. He needed some answers and he needed it now.
Three hours later, he sneaked out of the hospital and headed back at Atami prefecture. There he hoped that the rest of the F-4 are there, and maybe they could provide some details of what's happening. This also added more questions for him to ask: the rest of the F-4 were said to be abducted, and he wanted to know if this true or not.
Two hours later, Akira arrived at the F-4's favorite hangout bar, but he was surprised that the bar is deserted, save forYuuki Matsuoka, who was leaning against the bar. As he approached and tap her shoulder, he was surprised that she slumped down to the floor, and saw a huge hole on her stomach. She was dead.
"Yuuki...no...this can't be..."
Then the door leading to the bar's exit opened, and saw Rui staggering towards him, also bloodied. He grabbed Rui's body while trying to get him to stay awake. Akira feared that what Balrog meant appeared to be true, that something has happened with the F-4.
"Rui! Pull yourself together! What just happened here?? Who did this to you?? And who did this to Yuuki??"
But before Rui could provide an answer, he already expired as he slumped to the floor, his body now lifeless, and then the atmosphere became very tense as Tsukasa and Rui entered the bar, folowed by a man clad in what appeared to be the "Matrix" costume.
"Akira...you have two options...either join us or join those two...to death."
"You're our friend, Akira...join me and Tsukasa...we'll rule Japan and the rest of the world...and we can achieve greater power."
The F-4 member who just arrived from Spain was shocked by what's happening and saw the man in a matrix costume approaching him, adjusting his shades whie standing between Tsukasa and Sojiro. Akira braced himself as the man began to commence the discussion.
"My name is Isaka...and I've come to make you an offer...an offer you'll find hard to refuse...say yes and you won't get hurt..."
"NEVER!! After what you did to my two friends...??"
The F-4 member blinked his eyes as Tsukasa and Sojiro inserted two strange cards inside a pair of huge belt buckles, and metallic belt straps materializes around their waists, and the two F-4 members made a fist-like gestures and chanted "Henshin!", and two strange projection walls appeared, and Tsukasa and Sojiro went trough the projection walls, enveloping the two in strange, insect-like armors, and Akira was surprised by what he saw, but then became more surprised as Tsukasa, now clad ina gray and blue armor, with a spade symbol, stabbed him on his chest, while Sojiro, clad in red and gray armor with a diamond symbol, opened fire, shooting Akira all over his body. Akira slowly fell to the ground as the scene faded into nothing.

The scene changes as it shows that Akira sat up on a hospital bed. He was surprised that he was inside a hospital, and when he looked around, he realized that he is still in Spain, seeing the Spanish calendar. He peeked at his hospital gown and saw that his upper body was wrapped in bandages, and then he slowly recalled that before pasing out he was surrounded by several thugs and Digimons, and that he narrowly defeated Balrog.
"What an awful nightmare...and I thouight that I was dead for real..."
He realized that he was just dreaming, but it was actually a nightmare as he realized the events that happened just before he passed out due to the beatings.
"Wait...how did I get here anyway...?"
At this time, an old acquaintance of Akira came and the two began to talk, and started the discussion on how Akira got here inside the hospital.
"You've been asleep for almost two months. You're lucky you woke up just now. About your questions...when your pop called the la Cerda residence no one was answering, and when he went there he noted that the mansion was deserted. He then sensed that something wasn't right when one of your hotel's valet said that he saw you boarding a limousine, and that's that. Fortunately some whistle-blower called up your pop and told him what he knew, and then the Spanish SWAT team and their digimons went to the site, and sw you being ganged up, and the rest is history."
"What about Balrog...I mean...Fabio la Cerda..."
"He's in a prison hospital...and shocking as it sounds, the nobleman we knew was secretly a homicidal maniac. At night he kills his victims at random while at daytime he's in his mild-mannered form. He's been like this for several years, and he's been like this until now. You're lucky the SWAT team found you still alive."
"And...oh, yeah! He said something about the F-4 being abducted and stuff...I don't know what la Cerda meant by..."
"Huh? You mean you don't know?? They were abducted for several months now. A DDS student from Japan said that they were turned into mindless puppets and..."
"How come I'm the only one who don't know??"
"You mean your pops haven't told you this? He was informed a few weeks ago."
At this time, the Mimasaka patriarch came inside to greet his son, only to be slammed against the wall while being strangled by his own son. Akira was livid that he was intentionally kept out of what's happening.
"Blast You! Why didn't you tell me this?? And it took la Cerda to tell me that my buddies were kidnapped! Why didn't you tell me after you knew about this??"
"The police back at Atami will handle this...I don't want you to get involved...they'll take care of this...now after you recovered, we'll resume our business seminar..."
"FUCK YOU!!"
Akira smacked his father square in the face as he leaves the hospital room and is heading back to Barcelona to get his things and packed up. He then used the hotel room's phone to call up on Tsukushi Makino and there he got his answers when told about the F-4, but was relieved that Tsukasa got his free will back and that Rui isn't hurt, while Sojiro has yet to be rescued, but was shocked when told what she found out about what the F-4 were doing all this time after he left for Spain. After putting down the phone, the Mimaska patriarch came inside and gave his son a stern warning about going back to Japan, only to receive a hard punch on the face, while Akira left the hotel and went to the airport, and soon he boarded the plane en-route to Roppongi International Airport in Japan.
- - - END FLASHBACK - - -
Akira was snapped back to reality as the limousine came to a screeching halt when another limousine blocked its path. As the F-4 member emerged from his limousine, another man emerged from his. A man in his mid 20's, dressed like the Matrix. Akira sensed that whoever this uy is who blocked his way may have some connections with the f-4's recent disappearance.
"Greetings, Akira Mimasaka...I am Isaka...and I have an offer to show you...something that will make your dreams come true..."
"I'm not interested in that...I'm more interested in who you are...are you behind what's happening to my friends? And you intend to turn me into a puppet??"
At this time, Sojiro Nishikado emerged and disembarked from his motorcycle, sporting an angry look, and realized that Akira was about to be abducted.
"No more...you tricked me and my friends into becoming murderers...and now you killed Yuuki...I won't forgive you!"
"What...? Yuuki's dead??"
"Akira...that guy...he's behind all this...he killed Yuuki because her voice helped me break free from this bastard's control...stay back while I finish him off."
Akira stared wide-eyed as Isaka slowly changed his form, becoming a human-like peacock, while Sojiro inserted a strange-looking card inside a huge belt buckle and metallic belt straps appeared and fastens around his waist. For Akira, things will take a different turn as a battle is about to commence...
