I do not own digimon, if I did Kari and Tk would have gotten married for sure at the end of Season two and Thomas and Yoshino would be dating by the last episode of Data squad. I like it as Digimon Savers better myself with their Japanese names, but to avoid misspelling their Japanese names I used the English variations given with the English dub of Data squad. That being said This is the story of six years after the battle with Yggdrasil, this is Data squad beyond, chapter one. Now read!

Data Squad Beyond: Chapter One

Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. tsk. tsk. That was the only sound you would hear, the click of shoes on the hard floor. Thomas was walking into the old DATS building for the first time in 6 years. He was now 21 and had gotten taller since the last time he'd been in this building, his hair was still the same light blonde that went half-way down his neck and his sparkling blue eyes hadn't changed one bit, he was dressed in a grey colored business suit and looked rather handsome. To his left walked Yoshino, she was now 26 years old. Her red brown hair had grown to shoulder length and gotten a bit wavy, but her pink eyes remained bright and cheery, she was dressed in her police officer's uniform " Why're we here again?" she asked " I was on patrol" " According to Thomas a digital disturbance has been located" came a deep voice from Thomas's right. The dark haired, buffed, commander Sampson of DATS hadn't changed much, he still wore the famous pair of blue sunglasses he never took off. " Yes, there's a disturbance, and I don't know the cause" Thomas said o both of them. There was silence again, all except for the click of their shoes on the floor. They passed down halls and corridors. They went around corners until they reached the central control room and the sight they say left all of them awestruck….

" M-Marcus?" Thomas faltered in disbelief as he saw the 21 year old before hi. Marcus had his same bright green eyes and shoulder length brown hair, he had his brown pants and red shirt, but he didn't seem his usual self- more unusual than someone would seem if you hadn't seen them for 6 years.

" Why have you returned?" Sampson question, eyeing the young man. Marcus fell out of a portal and onto the hard floor, he made a motion to get up, but fell down, unconscious..

That Evening…

Marcus came around. His vision was blurred and then his eyes came into focus on a figure standing by his side. It was none other than his father, Spencer. " Not that I'm not thrilled to see you, because I am, but why have you returned, my son?" Spencer asked. Marcus moved into a sitting position and rubbed his temples, trying to piece it all together. " Dad.. Thomas.. Yoshi" he began and then figured out how to word it " As you know, Agumon and I have been trying to keep the peace in the digital world, but one day.." he trailed off briefly as the memory flashed in his mind " Machoreapermon appeared one day, he began destroying innocent digimon and villages as well as enslaving other digimon. Agumon and I tried to defeat him, but we just weren't strong enough. He would have killed us too if Kudamon hadn't helped us escape. Kudamon led us down a secret passage underground and he helped us open a digital gate so I could go find some help" Marcus finished.

"Why is Yggdrasil allowing this?" Spencer wondered allowed.

" That's the thing. He, and all the royal knights with the exception of Kudamon were forced into a state of coma by Machoreapermon!" Marcus said. He turned to Thomas and Yoshino " Please, guys I need your help!" Thomas nodded " And you'll have it" " That's right, we're a team!" Yoshino added brightly. Marcus grinned ' Great, but what about Keenan?" " Don't worry about him, you and Thomas get things set here, I'll get Keenan" Yoshino said and ran out the door…

" Is it set?" Thomas asked, the digital dive starting up for the first time in six years. He, Marcus, Yoshi, and Keenan stood over the transportation device. Commander Sampson tapped a few keys on a control panel " That's affirmative, good luck to all of you" he said. The group nodded and golden light swirled around them, it swirled faster and faster until they were sucked into a portal of darkness, they were falling, falling, falling, and then they met the dirt floor of the digital realm. Keenan got up first and brushed himself off " Did we make it?" the 16 year old boy asked as he surveyed the area with his golden eyes. As a breeze whipped at his black hair " Yes you did, Keenan" came a voice familiar to the boy's ears. He turned around and saw his partner, Falcomon. Keenan grinned widely and held his arms out and Falcomon raced into them and hugged his partner tightly. Yoshi groaned as she got up " Program softer landings, would you?" she said turning to Thomas as she dusted herself off. Thomas laughed getting up " I'll keep that in mind" " That sounds like Yoshi!" came a voice in the distance and then lalamon came into view " It IS Yoshi!!" she exclaimed and zoomed into Yoshi's arms " Lalamon, I missed you so much!" Yoshino said, hugging her partner tightly. " Sir! You're back, sir!" Gaomon said, saluting Thomas. Thomas laughed and held out his arms " Come on, I don't mind if you hug me" Gaomon blinked " Yes sir!' he said and hugged his partner.

" I hate to break up this happy moment, but follow me if you want to face Machoreapermon" a weary Agumon said, coming into view. The group nodded and followed Agumon, it didn't seem like it had been very long before Suddenly the villainous Machoreapermon appeared " Well, well, well, what do we have hear? Sssssome worthlessssss humansssss and their pathetic little petssss?" he hissed in a deep spooky voice " All of you will die" he cackled evilly. " We're not their pets, we fight alongside these humans as partners" Gaomon said bravely. " Gaomon.." Thomas said, looking at his partner. " That's right, and to get to them you'll have to go through us first" Lalamon added. " Oh, Lalamon.." Yoshi said.

" I'll protect Keenan, whatever the costs" Falcomon added. " Falcomon.." Keenan said, glancing at his partner in admiration. ' And no matter how many times you knock us down we'll get back up and fight again!" Agumon added. "We fight for a cause, for this world, for the human world, and for our partners!" All four digimon said in unison and turned to their partners, they nodded. "It's fighting time!" Marcus exclaimed, thrusting a fist in the air. They all pulled out their digivice and in perfect unison said " DNA charge, overdrive!" sliding their hand over a dna scanner on the top of the digital devices. Their digimon began to glow and grow in not only size but power. As the light faded four mega levels stood: Rosemon, MirageGaogamon, Ravemon, and Shinegreymon. " Be careful guys, we don't know his full power, so try not to get hit and hit him as hard as you can " Thomas said. " Attack!" Marcus cheered.

The four digimon sprung into action and flew upwards toward the gigantic Machoreapermon. " Forbidden Temptation!" Rosemon yelled, releasing the attack and it exploded in the villain's face. She grinned triumphantly " bullseye." she said. But her triumph was short lived as she was met with evil cackling " Fool! Did you think I would be ssssso easssssily defeated by one ssssso pathetic as you? Reaper slash!" he called, using a powerful attack, swinging his mighty scythe at the quartet of digimon. " Augh!!" they yelled in agony, all falling backward. " Attack together, you're stronger that way!" Thomas called. " You can do it, just believe!" Marcus added. " Agreed, I'll give it my best this time" Rosemon said. Ravemon nodded " Yes, that's the only way we'll win, if we all give our best" " Then what are we waiting for?" Shinegreymon said. " Remember, let's do this together, as one" Mirage Gaogamon said. They all charged up their attacks, a rainbow colored ball of energy began to form. " Release on my signal" MirageGaogamon said. They kept charging. Machoreapermon drew closer- they were still charging. He drew closer still.. " Now!" MirageGaogamon yelled and they all released their best attacks onto the evil digimon. They were a direct hit and smoke covered the Machoreapermon's body. "Alright!" Marcus cheered. Cackling came from within the smoke and when it cleared there was Machoreapermon, not even a scratch on him, he cackled " I'm ssssorry, did you think you'd won? Let me know when you're ready to really attempt at defeating me" he hissed evilly.

" No way!" Marcus yelled in shock. " Look at him, there's not even a scratch!" Thomas said in shock. " Maybe we should retreat.." Yoshino said. " No!" Keenan said and the other three turned to him " There's no point in retreating, he might destroy us if we do that, we have to try everything first!" " He's right!" Marcus said. Thomas nodded " Let's try burst mode!" they all pulled out their digivice again and slowly moved their hands along the DNA scanner and said in perfect unison " Charge! DNA Burst Mode!"

All four digimon glowed and their power maxed out as they changed into their burst mode forms. " Alright!" Marcus cheered. " Now! Go show that guy who's boss!" Yoshino said. The four digimon looked at one another and nodded. They sprang at Machoreapermon with their best attacks one after the other, but they all bounced off the evil digimon. Machoreapermon cackled " You're a very pitiful bunch, and I will take mercy on you. By ending this here and now" he cackled evilly. All four humans and their digimon were dumbfounded. Staring into those large, red, heartless eyes they felt almost like fainting in complete terror, and then it came. " FLAMES OF ANNIHALATION!!!!!" Machoreapermon called, using one of his ultimate attacks, A huge fiery blast consumed everything both human and digimon alike. When the blast finally cleared the group was scattered on the ground, thrown around like rag dolls, laying in awkward positions, unconscious all except Marcus, his eyes fell on Agumon and then glanced up at Machoreapermon, his eyes went out of focus and everything became a blur until everything was pitch black…

He groaned, his body ached all over, he didn't feel like moving, but he had to find out if he was in one piece. His eyelids refused to open at first, perhaps too scared to find out what he'd see. But at last they fluttered open as he came around " Ugh..Wheremy" Marcus slurred, coming around.

" You're at DATS, emergency health care room in cot number 2. Kudamon and I rescued you" came a deep voice that belonged to Commander Sampson. Marcus groaned " Ugh.." he said as he made the effort to sit up "Thank you, sir. But where are the others?" " You aren't very observant" came Thomas's reply, he was sitting up in a cot right next to Marcus's obviously he'd recently come around himself. On his other side Yoshino was sitting up in an identical bed. In a bed next to hers sat Keenan, watching Sampson and Marcus intently. " What about the digimon?" Marcus asked, starting to panic. " Relax. They are in your digivice and I do suggest you keep them there until they are at full strength again" Commander Sampson answered calmly. " Oh" Marcus said quietly.

Sampson cleared his throat " We must reopen DATS!" he declared " however, this time, I'd like you to lead, Thomas. Find some new recruits" " But why sir?" Thomas asked in shock. " You are brilliant, young, strong, and I need time to discus these events with Spencer and Yushima. You will do better than I" Sampson said. Sampson turned to Marcus and Yoshino " You two are very capable and would each do well in lead, but I believe Thomas is best suited for that position. However, both of you shall be senior officers and as such the only person you shall be required to answer to is Thomas" he said. Then finally, he turned to Keenan " I would like you to act as our embassy between both worlds, you understand digimon more deeply than the rest of us and vice versa" he said. " But Commander-" Marcus began to object. " My decisions are final!" Sampson roared. " Y-yes, sir" Marcus said weakly. Sampson nodded " Everyone, assume your occupations at once" " yes, sir!" All four said, saluting Sampson. " Good" Sampson said and left to speak with two friends about these latest events. Meanwhile, Thomas, Marcus, Yoshino, and Keenan began searching out new recruits in a variety of ways….
