While Drusilla and Emmett were in one universe looking for Taylor and overcoming their fears, Martin and Zoe ended up in another. The Kommondomon came through a portal. They are in Universe 316. The Kommondomon came to a stop in a rather lush forest area. However, just a few feet from where Kommondomon had landed was sand. This sand was the beginning of a large beach where lots of Digimon were playing together and having fun. On the beach were a group of Gomamon playing volleyball. Some Mermaidmon were lying on the land sunbathing, wearing sunglasses and using those mirror things that helps with getting tans. There were also Muchomon running around playing tag. "You can't catch me!" One Muchomon shouted as he ran. The Muchomon chasing him said. "We'll just see about that!" Across the far back end of the beach were lots of houses and huts lined up in a row, like the beach houses at Malibu in California. The door to the Kommondomon opened up. Martin and Zoe exited the Kommondomon and stepped foot on the grassy area of the forest. Naturemon followed behind them. Martin and Zoe looked around. Zoe took a device out of her pocket and pressed the power button. The screen lit up and showed their location. Zoe smiled down at the device. "Yep. This is Universe 316 all right. And we're in this universe's version of the Digital World too." Zoe said. Naturemon's eyes lit up and she smiled brightly. A thought had just occurred to her. "Hey! What if we see Digimon here that don't even exist in our Digital World back home?" She said. Martin turned around to look at her. "Like what?" He asked. "Well, what if there's a massive squirrel Digimon that can attack with stinky farts and belching, and she can shoot lightning out of his nostrils!?" Naturemon said. "That just sounds like a furry version of Sukamon if you ask me." Martin said. Naturemon grabbed both of her shoulders and shivered while grimacing. She remembered when he and Martin fought a group of Sukamon while camping in Native Forest. She thought about how lucky she was to not get hit by any of the poop they threw at her. "Don't remind me, Marty Hearty. Besides, I said farts, not sharts." Naturemon said.
Martin looked over and noticed the beach. They hadn't noticed it before because they were looking deeper into the forest area. "Zoe, Naturemon! Look! The ocean!" Martin said while pointing his finger in the ocean's direction. "Yep. If Taylor was going to be anywhere to wait for us, the ocean would be it." Naturemon said. Martin closed his eyes and smiled. "That girl…sometimes I think she'd never come onto land if she didn't have to." Martin said.
Naturemon threw her arms around Martin and began nuzzling his face, with a big content smile on her face. Cuddling up to Martin always made her feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. "Marty Hearty, you've got a good idea, but how can we search the ocean if we can't breathe underwater? Or have a submarine? Or have diving equipment?" Naturemon asked. Martin frowned and the cat ears on top of his head drooped. He hadn't thought of that. Zoe walked up to Martin and stood in front of him. She placed her hands on her hips and smiled. "No need to worry, 'Marty Hearty', Kommonodomon is an amphibious vehicle." She said. Martin's smiled returned. "Alright!" Martin cheered. Naturemon grinned. "Yay! My Marty Hearty's happy again!" Naturemon cheered before beginning to shower him with kisses.
The Kommondomon behind them started whimpering. Zoe's confident expression changed. Suddenly, she remembered that this Kommondomon has a fear of the water after a traumatic incident involving a MarineDevimon they came across once. "What's wrong with Kommondomon?" Naturemon asked. "I just remembered that this Kommondomon is absolutely terrified of the ocean. There's no way we'll be able to get him to go in." Zoe explained. "Then…what are we going to do?" Martin asked. "We might be able to find a Deep Savers Digimon around here who will be nice enough to search for us." Zoe replied. Naturemon then pointed to a huge mansion that was sitting within the rows of houses and huts at the very back of the beach. It definitely stood out. It had 3 stories and was really wide. Next to the plethora of small wooden huts lining the beach, it looked out of place. Like a bar of gold in a stack of bricks.
Martin, Naturemon, and Zoe decided to go into the Mansion and see if there was someone there who could help them. They went up to the Mansion door and knocked on it. They waited for a moment to see if anyone would come to the door, but no one did. Martin knocked again. More waiting. No one came. Naturemon knocked on the door and called out, "Helllooooo! Anybody home? Are you in the toilet? Asleep? Not home? We need help!" Naturemon shouted. Zoe reached over and grabbed the door handle just to see if she could open it or not. It turns out, she could! "It's open!" Zoe said in surprise. They all walked into the mansion. Martin looked nervous. He looked around at the large room they were in. Multiple stairways lead up to the second floor where there were many rooms. "Should we really just barge in like this? What if the owner gets mad?" Martin asks. "Don't worry, Martin. I'm sure if we explain the situation, they'll understand." Zoe said. Naturemon wasn't so sure. She remembered how BanchoLillymon misinterpreted a certain situation and they ended up having to fight her. Martin nearly lost his life in that fight!
They walked up one of the stairways and went into one of the rooms, and they were surprised at what they saw. There were cribs, little baby toys, baby bottles, boxes of diapers, et. al. all over the room. The room was quite large. In each crib, there was either a baby Digimon or an unhatched DigiEgg. One crib had a Botamon in it; which is a little black furry Digimon whose body is spherical and has pure yellow eyes. Another crib had a Punimon in it, which is a baby Digimon that looks like a round red ball with eyes and a mouth, and 3 squishy pointy things on its head. Another crib had a Nyokimon in it. This Digimon looks like a little black seed with two little leaves sprouting from its head. It has two yellow eyes and a mouth. Other cribs had baby Digimon such as Dodomon, Petitmon, Leafmon, Relemon, Zerimon, Conomon, and Poyomon. Petitmon looked like a little green head with a face and dragon wings. Relemon had a little yellow fox tail coming from behind its yellow head. Poyomon looked like a cute, smiling white jellyfish. "Baby Digimon?" Zoe observed. Naturemon's eyes lit up. She clasped her hands together and a huge smile came across her face. "They're SOOOOO cute!" Naturemon exclaimed before running into the room and picking up a Botamon from one of the cribs. She held the Botamon up to her face and nuzzled against it. "You're a cutie patooty! Yes you are! Yes you are! AWW!!!!! JUST! SO! CUTE!" Naturemon exclaimed. Botamon smiled and went "Bo! Bo Bo!"
Martin and Zoe walked into the room as well and looked around. "This is obviously a nursery of some kind. I remember seeing a Digimon nursery in my own version of the Digital World. It was a gardenline area run by a Swanmon." Zoe said. She also remembered that due to the Royal Knights, Dynasmon and Crusadermon, working for Lucemon, they had to evacuate all those Digimon via Trailmon. The Royal Knights were sucking up fractal code all over that version of the Digital World in order to release Lucemon from his prison in the Dark Area.
Zoe picked up a Poyomon and rubbed its head with her index finger. She smiled as the adorable little jellyfish Digimon started giggling. "You're a Poyomon aren't you little guy? Well, right now, you're full of potential. Like all Digimon, you can digivolve into a variety of different branches." Zoe said. Martin chuckled. "You sound just like Taylor about to go on one of her Digimon lectures." He said. Martin then stopped chucking and felt a heavy feeling come over his heart. Every time he thought of Taylor, he worried about whether or not he would ever see her again.
Just then, they heard an angry voice come from the entrance to the nursery room. "Hey! What are you doing with my babies!?" Everyone was startled. They looked over to see who spoke. It was a woman with short blue hair, and an aquamarine short sleeved shirt that exposed her belly button, and had a blue collar. She was wearing blue pants and white high heel shoes with laces. "A human?" Martin observed. Zoe turned and bowed. "I'm sorry we barged in. We were just-" Before she could finish her sentence, she looked up and noticed that the blue haired woman was holding a blue D-Tector. "These babies were entrusted to my care. I won't let you absorb their data, you fiends!" The blue haired woman held her hand out and a fractal code surrounded it. She touched the blue D-Tector to the fractal code. "Execute! Spirit Evolution! ……Ranamon!" In place of the blue haired woman was now a Digimon; Ranamon. "Ranamon!? One of the Ten Legendary Warriors!?" Zoe exclaimed. Martin looked surprised as well and so did Naturemon. "You've met this Digimon before, Zoe?" Naturemon asked. "Well…sort of." Zoe replied.
Ranamon ran over to Naturemon and grabbed her by one of the vines protruding from her neck. She then tossed her out of the room, past a stair railing and down to the first floor a few feet from the entrance. Ranamon did the same thing with Martin and Zoe. They all groaned in pain from the fall. Ranamon ran down stairs and was ready for battle. She purposefully removed them from the room because she was afraid of battling in the nursery. There was a good chance they could hurt the babies. "Now, we can fight till our hearts' content." Ranamon said before raising her arms up into the air. "Draining Rain!" Ranamon shouted, causing a huge black cloud to form in the room which then caused literal rain to fall on the three. The three felt pain from the rain. "This is her Draining Rain attack! It will zap you of all your….strength!" Zoe warned. Zoe was familiar with this Digimon. She had fought one in her own universe who was working for the evil Chrubimon, one of the Three Great Angels who fell to darkness. Naturemon caused vines to protrude from her back and wrap around Ranamon's legs. "Vine Vengeance!" Naturemon shouted. She pulled her vines back and caused Ranamon to fall onto her back. "We weren't going to hurt the babies! We were just playing with them!" Naturemon said, trying to negotiate. She could feel her strength draining away more and more from the rain falling down upon her. "I don't believe you! You're with those cyborg freaks who go around absorbing Digimon's data to revive some evil Digimon called Owarimon!" Ranamon replied.
They all looked surprised. All For One World was here? In this universe? They just happened to enter a universe where All For One World was by sheer luck of the draw out of the potentially infinite universes that exist? Zoe knew about what "cyborg freaks" meant. She and the rest of World For Us All planned to tell the Elemental Four once they got back to World For Us All HQ. Zoe took out her own D-Tector and Martin took out his D-Eco. "Looks like she won't listen to reason." Zoe said. Zoe's other hand was surrounded by fractal code, then she touched her D-Tector to it. "Execute! Spirit Evolution! ……Kazemon!"
"DIGIVOLUTION"
"Naturemon digivolve to….MotherNaturemon!"
Ranamon stood up. She was able to as the vines Naturemon wrapped around her had disappeared. She looked surprised. "A D-Tector? Spirit Evolution? Then that must mean Ophanimon chose you like she did me!" Ranamon observed. Ranamon was suddenly surrounded by fractal code. When the fractal code disappeared, the blue haired human woman was standing in her place once again. The Draining Rain attack had ceased. "I'm Haruhi Fujiwara. I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions. I've just been so on edge lately." She said.
"Don't worry about it. But tell us what happened." Kazemon said before returning back to her human form. "Why don't we have some tea first?" Haruhi suggested.
So Haruhi had a Bokomon and Neemon prepare tea for them. They came and set the tea down on a table in front of them. They were in a small room lined with bookshelves and tables. Haruhi took a sip of the tea. "Hey, this doesn't have a lemon on the side." Haruhi said. Bokomon grabbed the waistband of Neemon's pants and snapped it back. "I TOLD you she wanted a lemon but you didn't believe me!" Bokomon said. Neemon tilted his head and went. "Oooooh! Ok! Sorry!" Zoe smiled as she looked over at the Bokomon and Neemon. Although these weren't the Bokomon and Neemon she knew, they both looked and acted like them. It made her nostalgic. Haruhi smiled with her closed towards the two Rookie Digimon. "Don't worry about it. Thank you for the tea." She said. Bokomon smiled. "Our pleasure, Haruhi." Bokomon said.
Everyone took a sip of the tea, and then Haruhi began her explanation. "I'm what's called a Digidestined. When I was 11, I got a call on my phone from some mysterious woman. Back then, it was a flip phone. Your son would probably laugh if he could see such outdated technology." Zoe's eyebrows shot up. Haruhi had inferred that Martin was her son. "Oh! This isn't my son. I'm just looking after him for a friend." Zoe said. It was an understandable mistake. At this point in time, Zoe was entering her 40s and Martin was just an 11 year old boy. "My mistake. Anyway, unbeknownst to me, several other kids were also getting calls on their phones. We hopped on trains at the mysterious woman's request and ended up traveling to where we are now; The Digital World. Our phones morphed into digivices called D-Tectors where they housed spirits of the ten legendary warriors. These are Digimon from the ancient past. We could use the spirits and our digivices to transform into Digimon ourselves. We fought evil forces threatening the Digital World; namely Cherubimon and Lucemon. When it was time to go back to the Digital World, I stayed. I had made such good friends here and…I had no home to return to. I was an orphan who stayed at an orphanage. I had no family and no friends other than my fellow Digidestined and the Digimon. Fast forward 30 years and here I am, raising Digimon babies in this nursery. This place is called the Mansion Of Beginnings." Haruhi explained.
"In my universe, the exact same thing happened. Except, Cherubimon had possession of the spirits of water. I had to fight Ranamon and Calmaramon back in my day." Zoe explained.
"Your universe?" Haruhi said in confusion.
"We're interdimensional travelers. We come from a parallel world." Martin said.
"I got the spirits of water. My friend, a goggle headed boy named Tadashi, got the spirit of fire and could transform into Agunimon. A friend of mine named Koji could become Lobomon because he got the spirits of light. And a boy named Matsuhiro got the spirits of wood. He could turn into Digimon like Arbormon and Petaldramon. I miss them sometimes. I haven't seen them since we defeated Lucemon." Haruhi explained.
They talked some more and found out that whereas in Zoe's universe, the evil Cherubimon got the spirits of water, steel, wood, and earth, and gave those to his minions, in THIS universe, Ophanimon had those spirits and gave them to the Digidestined. Seraphimon had possession of the spirits of fire, light, and darkness.
Seraphimon - fire, light, darkness.
Ophanimon - water, steel, wood, water.
Cherubimon - ice, thunder, and wind.
So in this universe, Ranamon was actually a hero, and Kazemon was the villain, rather than the other way around as it was in Zoe's universe.
"There's something I'd like to ask you, Miss Haruhi. Would you be so kind as to go search the ocean for our friend Taylor? You see…she's a mermaid who loves spending time in the ocean. During our travels through the multiverse, she fell off of our transportation and fell into one of the universes in this area. I have a feeling that if she was going to wait for us anywhere, it'd be the ocean." Martin said.
"But we can't breathe underwater, and we have no scuba gear or anything." MotherNaturemon added.
"I can't just leave my babies unattended. Especially not with those cyborg goons running about killing and absorbing Digimon." Haruhi protested.
"We're actually fighting against those guys. Taylor is going to play a crucial role in defeating her." Zoe said.
"We'll stay here and look after the babies. Just please! PLEASE find Taylor!" Martin pleaded.
"Ok then, it's a deal. What does she look like?" Haruhi asked.
"She's umm…got short brown hair, brown eyes, and a green scaly mermaid tail some of the times, but she might also be in her human form in which case she'll either be wearing some kind of skirt to go along with her tube top, or she'll be wearing an aquamarine t-shirt with blue shorts. She's with a Digimon called Sharkmon. He's like a little shark with four legs. And Taylor…she's got a really bubbly personality, she smiles and giggles a lot, it's adora-I mean that should also help." Martin explained.
Haruhi nodded and gave a thumbs up. "Got it." She then took out her D-Tector and spirit evolved into Ranamon again. Ranamon ran out to the beach and headed towards the water.
Back at The Mansion Of Beginnings, Zoe had disappeared! Martin and MotherNaturemon were in the nursery. One of the Dodomon started crying. MotherNaturemon walked over to Dodomon and picked him up out of his crib. "Aww, what's wrong little one?" She said before cradling him softly. The Dodomon nuzzled up against her chest. MotherNaturemon hummed a lullaby softly. Before too long, Dodomon stopped crying and fell asleep. "Wow, MotherNaturemon! You put that Digimon back to sleep in no time!" Martin whispered. MotherNaturemon looked over to him and smiled. Another baby Digimon, a Botamon, was beginning to cry. Martin picked him up and tried to cradle him, humming a lullaby as well. "Don't cry! Don't cry!" Martin said before humming some more of the lullaby. Martin then looked over to MotherNaturemon with a facial expression that conveyed that he wanted her help. "Maybe he'd prefer some Metallica?" Martin joked. MotherNaturemon picked Botamon up and held him softly in her arms. She held her ear up to the Botamon and could hear its stomach growling. "This little guy is hungry." MotherNaturemon said. Martin covered his eyes. "It's ok. I won't look." He said. MotherNaturemon smiled and giggled a little. "Marty Hearty, these roses aren't coverings. They're growing out of my body. I'm not built to feed a baby like the way you're imagining." MotherNaturemon said. Martin uncovered his eyes and blushed. MotherNaturemon walked over to a cupboard and got out some baby food. She got a spoon and then spoon fed the Botamon. Botamon seemed very pleased. MotherNaturemon smiled and giggled a little. "Is it good?" She asked. "Bo! Bo! Bobobo!" squeaked little Botamon.
Just then, Zoe walked in. "I'm going to the beach now." She said. Martin and Naturemon turned to see Zoe. Martin looked confused. "W-what!? The beach!? But you're supposed to stay here and help take care of the babies!" Martin protested. Martin didn't realize how loud he was being and…he woke up all the sleeping babies! "WHAAAAA!!!!!!!" the baby Digimon cried. MotherNaturemon got up quickly and gathered them all into her arms and began cradling them and humming lullabies to them to try to get them to fall back asleep. Zoe smiled and winked at Martin while raising her left index finger up into the air. "Well, I can't let Haruhi do ALL the searching. What would Mirei and Kari say? I'm going to ask beach goers if they've seen Taylor." Zoe said. "You sure? You sure you aren't going swimming and sunbathing?" Martin asked. "Well, if I were, I'd be wearing a pink string bikini." Zoe replied. She then turned around and walked out the nursery door. She waved on her way out. "I'll come back if I hear anything! Arrivederci for now!" Martin rolled his eyes.
He then realized that all the babies had stopped crying almost simultaneously. He looked over to see his Digimon with an arm full of sleeping baby Digimon. MotherNaturemon sat each one down in their cribs and gave a gentle kiss to each one of them. MotherNaturemon looked at Martin with an annoyed expression. "Please try to be a bit more quiet, Marty Hearty!" MotherNaturemon whispered. Martin grimaced and sweatdropped. "Sorry, MotherNaturemon." He said.
Sometime later, Martin and MotherNaturemon were in a totally different nursery room playing with different Digimon babies. A Zerimon and Conomon were bouncing up and down on MotherNaturemon's lap as she sat on the floor on her knees. "Zeri Zeri!" squeaked Zerimon. "Cono Cono!" squeaked Conomon. MotherNaturemon smiled brightly and giggled. "You two are just so precious!" MotherNaturemon said. Martin smiled as he watched the babies and MotherNaturemon playing together. While the Zerimon and Conomon bounced on MotherNaturemon's lap, MotherNaturemon was rolling a rubber ball over to a Pururumon who would then send it back. MotherNaturemon and Pururumon were sending the ball back and forth. Martin smiled at his Digimon. He thought it was so unusual how natural taking care of these babies was. But he didn't care. A thought did occur to him though, and he wanted to ask his Digimon about it. "Umm…MotherNaturemon?" Martin began. "What is it, Marty Hearty?" She replied. "Have you ever been a baby Digimon?" He asked. MotherNaturemon put an index finger up to her lips and thought about it for a second. "That's a good question. I'm not sure. I may have been digivolving unconsciously while the Yggdrasils were creating me…or…us. But…my first memory was waking up in a test tube already fully digivolved as Harmonymon. And the lowest level I can ever recall being at is the Rookie level…which is Naturemon for me." MotherNaturemon responded. It was odd for her. Harmonymon wasn't initially a jogress Digimon. Rather, she was one single Digimon with a single DigiCore and only when Kari put in Izzy's program did she split into multiple DigiCores. She wondered what might happen if she ever became Harmonymon again. Would the individual consciousnesses of her, Sharkmon, Coalmon, and Dovemon simply fade away? Would they be more like a normal DNA Digivolved Digimon such as Evander's and Jessica's Omnimon or Flora's and Zai's Mastemon, with one DigiCore for each Digimon that went into the fusion? It was a thought that sometimes worried her. And would one consciousness overwhelm the others? She often thought that her personality was more similar to the Harmonymon Kari talked to in the test tube than any of the others. What if, in becoming Harmonymon, she consumed all of her friends' consciousnesses?
Martin broke MotherNaturemon's thoughts, which had wandered into thinking about becoming Harmonymon. "Well, who can remember when they were babies anyway? I certainly can't."
Suddenly, the Zerimon in MotherNaturemon's lap began to glow! He then digivolved and became Gummymon. "Whoa! That was weird!" Gummymon said. Martin's eyes widened. "He digivolved!" Martin said. MotherNaturemon smiled with her eyes closed and nodded. "Yep. For some Digimon, just aging can cause digivolution. Others need to fight. But Digimon Researchers still aren't quite sure why. There's much about Digivolution we don't know yet." MotherNaturemon said. Martin chuckled. "You just quoted Taylor verbatim, didn't you?" He said. MotherNaturemon giggled. "Was it that obvious?" She asked. Martin's face then went dour again. "Oh, Marty Hearty! Don't get the sads. We'll find Taylor, I promise." MotherNaturemon said. Gummymon hopped over to Martin and got in his lap. "Yeah! Don't be sad! Don't be sad! Play with me and Conomon and you'll be happy, happy, happy!" Gummymon said. However, looking at Gummymon sort of made it worse. The Gummymon species had an indirect connection to Taylor. Taylor was Evander Glovion's daughter, and one of Evander's Digimon partners is a Terriermon. Terriermon digivolves from Gummymon. So, looking at Gummymon made Martin think of Taylor's dad, and thinking of Taylor's dad made him think of Taylor, and thinking of Taylor filled him with anxiety!
A couple of hours later, Zoe was walking down the beach as ocean water came up over her feet. She had been walking for 10 minutes and had already talked to several beach going Digimon about Taylor, but all of them denied seeing her. All of a sudden, from out of nowhere, Zoe heard this feminine sounding laughter. She looked up and saw a figure coming down upon her. "Data Claw!" She shouted. She came down and tried to slash Zoe with a long mechanical claw protruding from her arm! But Zoe had jumped back just in the nick of time to avoid getting hit! When Zoe finally got a good look at the woman, she saw that the woman had short green hair, and purple metallic armor that covered her breasts and shoulders, but exposed her midriff. The woman had glowing red eyes, and pink skin. She was wearing what looked like purple shorts but were clearly made of metal. She also had footwear that looked like boots, but the boots were also made of metal and spiked up at the top like rows of diamonds. Her skin from her feet to her knees were a deep red color. On her back looked like some kind of mechanical jet pack. Zoe's eyes widened. "A human….with cybernetic features!? Then that must mean you're…." Zoe began. The green haired girl grinned. "That's right! I'm with All For One World! Tell me where Martin and Naturemon are." She said. Zoe was defiant. "No!"
The green haired cyborg girl held Zoe up by the neck and began choking her. "Maybe I didn't make myself clear. Tell me where Martin and Naturemon are." She said. "I'll….never…." Zoe responded, struggling to speak. Zoe was trying to get to her D-tector. The cyborg girl saw it, so she grabbed the D-tector and threw it to the side. Zoe was worried now. She was surely done for. "I just cleaned this claw. I'd hate to stain it with the blood of a decapitated human, but if I must…" The green haired girl began, before readying herself to slice Zoe's head off! "Dark Vapor!" Suddenly, a stream of rain came down onto the cyborg girl and badly burned her skin. She dropped Zoe and screamed in pain. Zoe looked over to her left to see that Ranamon had come out of the ocean. "That's one of the cyborg thugs I was telling you about!" Ranamon said. Zoe looked back at the girl. "All For One World." She said with disgust in her voice. Zoe then ran over to grab her discarded D-Tector.
"Execute! Spirit Evolution….Kazemon!"
Kazemon took a few steps forward. "Tomoko Mizuki. Member of All For One World. I didn't recognize you with your new get up." Kazemon said. The cyborg girl (Tomoko) smirked. "I've had a major make over. I'm TomokoGizumon now. My master has finally perfected the serum that grants the combined powers of Gizumon and Red Stone to humans. Rumiko Shinigaku took an imperfected version and she paid the ultimate price because of it."
"How did you even know we were here?" Kazemon asked. TomokoGizumon lunged at Kazemon and grabbed her by the neck. "That's none…" She began as she ascended into the air. "Of your business!" She finished, throwing Kazemon down onto the sand. Kazemon hit the ground with a thud and let out a grunt of pain when she landed. Kazemon got up and glared at TomokoGizumon. "Hurricane Wave!" Kazemon attacked, sending large tornadoes at her opponent from her finger tips. TomokoGizumon swung her claw and deflected the air streams. TomokoGizumon then opened her claw and a beam of yellowish white energy shot out of from it. "Giga Cannon!" She shouted. Kazemon got hit with the attack and was sent flying back 100 feet, screaming in pain all the way. Kazemon struggled to get up, but she managed it. Ranamon raised her arms over her head and caused more black clouds to appear. "Draining Rain!" Ranamon shouted. The energy draining rain drops poured down on TomokoGizumon. TomokoGizumon took some damage initially, but then ran out from under the rain cloud. She pointed her claw in Ranamon's direction. "Here's a little number from a Myotismon I absorbed a while back. Crimson Lightning!" TomokoGizumon said before causing a red energy whip to appear in her hand which she then proceeded to use to whip Ranamon over and over and over again. Ranamon took major damage from this attack. She stood up and then counter attacked. "Draining Rain!" A black cloud formed and more rain drops fell down. However, TomokoGizumon completely deflected it this time by causing a shield to materialize from her claw. She held the shield up above her head and protected herself from the rain. The shield was acting as an umbrella. The shield was very familiar looking; it was Gallantmon's shield! TomokoGizumon smirked in Kazemon's direction. "Look familiar? Yes, this is Gallantmon's shield! Don't worry. I didn't absorb any Gallantmon you know. Takato's and Mario's Gallantmon are safe…for now." TomokoGizumon said.
"Shield of The Just!" TomokoGizumon shouted, firing an energy beam from the shield that destroyed Ranamon's rain cloud. She then pointed the shield at Ranamon. "Shield Of The Just!" Kazemon flew over and shoved Ranamon out of the way. They both evaded the attack.
Kazemon and Ranamon then got back up. Kazemon turned in TomokoGizumon's direction. "Hurricane Wave!" Kazemon shouted, sending tornadoes out of her finger tips at the enemy. TomokoGizumon deflected the attack by swinging her claw again. Smirking, she said, "That already failed one time. Why did you try it again? Are you stupid?" Kazemon growled. "Tempest Twist!" Kazemon performed a handstand and spun around, creating a whirlwind that she then sent at the enemy. TomokoGizumon got rid of the Gallantmon shield and brought out Gallantmon's lance. She then span around at an extremely rapid pace. "Lightning Joust/Grey Tornado combo!" TomokoGizumon shouted. TomokoGizumon created a tornado made of lightning which collided with the whirlwind that Kazemon had created. The two attacks canceled each other out! TomokoGizumon smirked and let out a laugh, thinking she had yet again deflected another pathetic attack. However, Kazemon had only used that attack as a diversion. She was coming in fast, feet first, at TomokoGizumon. "Rosy Temporale!" Kazemon yelled as she unleashed a quick barrage of kicks. TomokoGizumon got hit in the face and chest multiple times. The kicks to the face hurt, but the ones to the chest didn't because her chest was covered in Gizumon armor. Kazemon then did a backflip kick and hit TomokoGizumon in the jaw! After her attack, Kazemon made sure to get some distance between her and her enemy to avoid any counter attacks.
TomokoGizumon wiped some blood from her mouth. It was the color purple, due to the fact that Digimon blood is blue and human blood is red, and in the fusion, the two colors mixed. TomokoGizumon smirked. "I got too cocky. I underestimated you and it nearly cost me a tooth." She said.
"Well, there's more where that came from! Tempest Twist!" Kazemon shouted, doing another twirling handstand that sent another tornado at her foe.
"Draining Rain!" Ranamon attacked.
Ranamon's Draining Rain combined with Kazemon's Tempest Twist and they both hit TomokoGizumon. She grunted in pain, and when the tornado subsided, Kazemon flew towards TomokoGizumon butt first. "Virgin Bomb!" She shouted. Her butt hit TomokoGizumon in the chest. "Ha! You think such an attack can stop me!? I will…" TomokoGizumon was about to start boasting, but then she started getting dizzy. "What the….what's going on?" TomokoGizumon asked. Kazemon put one hand on her shoulder. She smirked. "That's my Virgin Bomb attack. I ram into people with my butt and it causes them to be disoriented for a few minutes." Kazemon explained.
"Hurricane Wave! Hurricane Wave! Hurricane Wave!" Kazemon shouted, attacking repeatedly. TomokoGizumon got hit with the three consecutive attacks and took some damage.
"Dark Vapor!" Ranamon shouted, raising her arms above her head and causing acid rain to fall down on their foe. She screamed as her flesh burned from the acid.
"Had enough?" Ranamon asked. The rain subsided. TomokoGizumon looked angry. She was still disoriented though. "Don't get cocky, you pieces of scum!" She shouted. She opened her claw again and started firing. She flew forward. She blew up several houses and huts that were lined up at the back of the beach. A nearby Veggiemon was shocked! "Oh no! My house! Oh well, I planned on redecorating anyway." He said.
She was flying back in the direction of the mansion, firing lasers haphazardly all the way due to the confusion Kazemon's Virgin Bomb had placed her under. Ranamon gasped. "She's headed toward The Mansion Of Beginnings!" Ranamon exclaimed. "Then let's stop her before she gets there!" Kazemon said. Then, fractal code enveloped the bodies of both of them simultaneously.
"Slide Evolution….Zephyrmon!"
"Slide Evolution….Calmaramon!"
In Kazemon's place was now a taller humanoid bird woman. She had brown wings growing out of her back and bluish white wings growing out of her head. She dawned a violet covered mask over her mouth and nose, violet covered breast armor, pink panties, a pink top with detached sleeves, and metallic shoulder pads. In Ranamon's place was a Digimon that resembled an upside down squid with the torso and head of a woman on top. The two Beast Spirit Digimon chased after TomokoGizumon. They chased TomokoGizumon a good distance. She was flying so fast with the giant purple jetpack growing out of her back that they were having a hard time catching up. Eventually, they did though. "Titanic Tempest!" Calmaramon shouted before withdrawing the womanly part of her body into the squid part and then rotating like a drill while flying in the direction of the enemy. Calmaramon successfully slammed into TomokoGizumon and knocked her down to the ground. The humanoid woman torso part of Calmaramon came back out. "Nobody messes with my babies!" Calmaramon said. It was fortunate that Calmaramon struck their enemy when they did, for they were now within a couple of yards of The Mansion Of Beginnings.
Zephyrmon chuckled. She was smiling although you couldn't see it due to the mask. "I'm glad to have you on my side for a change." Zephyrmon said. Calmaramon grinned in Zephyrmon's direction. "Indeed." She said.
TomokoGizumon stood up again. She was wobbling around all over the place like a drunk. She held her arms out. "Meteor Wing!" Fire balls came out of her arms and flew up high into the air. Her aim was off though, still disoriented. The fireballs came down! Zephyrmon and Calmaramon gasped! It looked as though they were about to hit the Mansion Of Beginnings! Fortunately, both fire balls landed on each side of the mansion instead. They caused some craters, but they didn't hit the building itself. The two female Digimon sighed in relief.
Inside, Martin and MotherNaturemon were playing with the babies. When they heard the loud sounds and the explosions outside, they were startled. "What in the DigiWorld was that!?" Martin exclaimed. MotherNaturemon ran to the window and peeked through the curtains and saw what was going on. "Oh my gosh! Remember RumikoGizumon? Well, looks like there's another one, and Zoe and Haruhi are currently fighting her!" MotherNaturemon said.
Martin and MotherNaturemon ran outside to confront TomokoGizumon. MotherNaturemon took a better and closer look at her. She was definitely of the same stock as RumikoGizumon, however, she was slightly different physiologically. "Who are you? Have you come to absorb the baby Digimon in this mansion?" MotherNaturemon interrogated. The disorientation on TomokoGizumon now wore off. She stood up and looked over in MotherNaturemon's direction. "Baby Digimon? Don't be absurd. Baby Digimon have so little data to absorb that it wouldn't be worth my time. I'm only interested in Digimon with lots of Gigabytes." TomokoGizumon responded. "So are you like Rumiko Shingaku?" MotherNaturemon asked.
TomokoGizumon began monologuing; "If you're referring to my physical form, then yes, In a way. I likewise took a serum that injected me with Gizumon data and Deity Stone minerals (or Red Stones as you call them), but Rumiko took an imperfected version of the serum and suffered fatal side effects. Speaking of Rumiko, she and her organization were pawns. My master was the one who granted all of those Gizumon to her. We planned on using them to absorb Digimon data for us. After your battle with Rumiko was over, our leader dispatched me to sneak into the morgue where her body was being kept and took all of the Digimon data she had absorbed up until that point. I later went to C.A.D headquarters and took the data from all the Gizumon you Digidestined didn't manage to destroy. All of it was enough to create Owarimon; whom your little friend had the pleasure of meeting a couple of days ago. However, we need more data to digivolve her to the Mega level. Only then will she be powerful enough to annihilate all other universes besides my own."
"And why do you want to destroy all other universes?" Martin asked.
"Had the worlds remained separate as they always had; they wouldn't need to be destroyed. But as it is….I must destroy the multiverse to prevent more suffering." TomokoGizumon responded.
"What are you talking about? How are other universes existing causing anyone to suffer?" Calmaramon asked.
"Yeah, the only ones causing any suffering here are you and your organization! You destroy and absorb the data of innocent Digimon. You kill them in such a way that they can never become DigiEggs and be reborn! You do this in order to power up the Deity Stones to power up your own abomination of a Digimon!" Zephyrmon chastised.
"That's enough talking. I don't need to explain myself to you. You'll soon be food for Owarimon!" TomokoGizumon said before lunging at MotherNaturemon. "At least I finally found one of the Elemental Four!" She said before attempting to drive her metal claw into MotherNaturemon's abdomen! MotherNaturemon caught TomokoGizumon's arm and stopped it from going into her mere inches away from her belly button. She then caused vines to come out of her back and wrap around TomokoGizumon before hurling her away. MotherNaturemon took out an arrow and put it in her bow. "Nature's Arrow!" MotherNaturemon shouted, firing an electricity-covered arrow at the cyborg human/Digimon hybrid. TomokoGizumon quickly jumped to her feet and crushed the arrow with her claw. MotherNaturemon looked over to Martin. "Marty Hearty, I have to digivolve again! You remember how powerful Rumiko was! Even Jawsmon, Harpymon, and CoalGolemon combined weren't strong enough! They won only because the side effects of the serum gave Jawsmon an opening!" MotherNaturemon said.
Martin took out his golden digivice from his pocket. The word "DIGIVOLUTION" scrolled across the screen in big green letters against a black background. His Crest Of Earth on the back of the digivice glowed, and a light shot out of the digivice and enveloped MotherNaturemon.
"MotherNaturemon digivolve to…Vineyardmon!"
"Grape Grenades!" Vineyardmon attacked, shooting multiple grapes that were growing on the vines on the tree branches growing out of her back. TomokoGizumon caused Gallantmon's shield to rematerialized in her left hand. She held the shield up and the grapes that Vineyardmon fired hit the shield, exploding. "Pathetic." TomokoGizumon said. While TomokoGizumon was focused on deflecting Vineyardmon's Grape Grenade attack, she had taken her focus off of the other two womanly Digimon; Zephyrmon and Calmaramon. They had come up beside TomokoGizumon on each side. "Acid Ink!" Calmaramon shouted, spitting a big blob of black ink out of her mouth. TomokoGizumon groaned in frustration. She put a hand over her eyes and tried to wipe the ink away! "Darn! Can't see!" She complained. "Hurricane Gale!" Zephyrmon shouted, swinging her arm in a circular fashion and creating a big circular gust of wind that shot out at her opponent. TomokoGizumon got hit with the attack and took some damage. TomokoGizumon had gotten knocked on her back and had dropped Galantmon's shield. She was still trying to get the ink that Calmaramon had fired at her out of her eyes. During this time, Vineyardmon took her opportunity to attack again. "Grape Grenades!" More exploding grapes were fired at TomokoGizumon from off of the trees growing out of her back. TomokoGizumon got hit with the grapes and cried out in pain. Then Vineyardmon ran up and kicked TomokoGizumon right in the jaw, knocking a few teeth out in the process!
TomokoGizumon appeared to have had it. She was scuffed up, and the armor covering her breasts, her metallic skirt, and the jetpack wings on her back were damaged and sparking. "This….can't be…..how it ends. I….won't die here!" TomokoGizumon exclaimed. "Don't be so dramatic. We won't kill you. Unlike you, we only kill as a last resort." Martin said. "Besides, we need to take you in for questioning." Zephyrmon said.
TomokoGizumon's lower legs, which were red, began glowing. Just then, a portal opened up and a Kommondomon came through. The door opened up and a red haired man who had purple cyborg parts on his body like TomokoGizumon had opened the door. He grabbed TomokoGizumon and then ran inside of the Kommondomon. Martin reached out to them and shouted "Wait! Stop!" but it was too late. The two entered the Kommondomon and then took off back into the portal. Martin thought they looked like two bandits hurrying away in a getaway car. Vineyardmon tried to stop them by firing explosive grapes at the Kommondomon, put the portal closed before any of them hit. Vineyardmon growled and scowled in frustration. "Darn it!" She exclaimed. At that point, Vinyardmon started glowing and then she de-digivolved back into Naturemon. Zephyrmon and Calmaramon reverted back into Zoe and Haruhi.
Sometime later, Haruhi, Bokomon, and Neemon were standing to the entrance of the Mansion Of Beginnings with Martin, Naturemon, and Zoe facing her. "Thank you for all your help. I mean, not just with taking care of the babies, but for getting rid of those cyborg people." Haruhi said. "Non parlane. I just hope they don't come back." Zoe said. Haruhi nodded. "If they do, I'll fight them." Haruhi said.
"There's something that bothers me though. How did All For One World know where we were? They clearly knew where to find us." Martin said.
"And he had a Kommondomon that could travel through the dimensions." Naturemon said.
"Well, I can tell you about the Kommondomon. All For One World was the one who originally manufactured the program to allow Kommondomon to travel between worlds. Our spy leaked that information to us and then Izzy was able to make them too." Zoe explained.
"I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you find your friend. I hope you find her soon." Haruhi said. "So do we. Take care." Zoe said. They all turned around and headed back towards their own Kommondomon, waving goodbye to Haruhi, Bokomon, Neemon, and the baby Digimon who came out from behind Haruhi and were bouncing up and down.
While they were walking, Martin looked over to Naturemon who was walking beside him. "I've been meaning to ask you; why did you maintain your Champion form for so long while we took care of the babies?" Martin asked. Naturemon turned to him, grinned with her eyes closed, and let out a brief giggle. "Simple! My maternal instincts are 10 times stronger when I'm digivolved." Naturemon replied.
Up above in the trees, a Gizumon/Human hybrid watched the trio from below. "So…they sent us a double agent, did they? I'll have to tell the boss about this pronto." He said.
