Digital World, Here We Come

Yoshi took a deep breath, reached for the phone, and was about to dial up those two, but heard the door open up with a pair of familiar voices.

"I hate to point this out, but you heard our commander. The Digital Dive is off limits." Ash informed since he did not know why he was doing such a thing since he knew that the mole would not want anything to do with Earth.

"Don't be such a downer, Ash. Come on, Agumon. It's just through this door." Marcus answered back while looking over at his partner.

"Right, boss." Agumon replied as he eagerly followed the reckless one's plan. A part of both him and Renamon wanted to see what their home world really looked like. The lizard thought that it would have several pieces of the human world: telephone poles, subway cars, mail boxes, street signs, and several other things. Renamon believed that it had several layers, and the only way to get to the other layers is through beams from the Earth. The two along with their partners will get their answers very soon.

'This is such a bad idea.' Ash thought as they all went past the doorway, and Ketchum saw Yoshi in the room as well. 'Right. She had monitor duty tonight.' The hero thought while continuing his walk into the room.

"We're in, baby." Marcus commented with his back to the wall, and a smile on his face.

"Quiet as a sleeping mime." Agumon commented as he watched the door close behind them. Their victory was short lived as Yoshi spoke out.

"What are you two doing?" She shouted out which caused the 'sneaking' ones to turn and face the lady that spoke to them.

"What's the problem here, Yoshi? You seemed to have been looking at the transporter, and not a monitor." Ash pointed out to her.

"Thomas had the bright idea to use the Digital Dive, despite Sampson's orders." Logan explained.

"Thomas did a Digital Dive? I'll teach him to be sneakier than me." Marcus proclaimed to the others with clenched fists.

"Sneakier than us, you mean." Ash reminded him that the four of them were a team. The others liked the brotherly bond these two had until Renamon cleared her throat causing them to get back on task.

"What is Thomas thinking? Going for a Digital Dive even though it has never been tested on humans. He should know better that something horribly wrong could happen." Yoshi commented as she continued to work.

"He is a proud soldier. Thomas does not like letting a perp go so he decided to handle it alone, but I don't understand why go after someone on their natural soil. Wouldn't that make Thomas the intruder?" Ash stated while ending in a question.

"There." She called out causing the others to look at the screen and saw a small blue dot with the word alive right next to it.

"What is that?" Renamon questioned since she has never seen this part of their job.

"Thomas' digivice signal. I'll bring him back before..." Yoshi commented, but was stopped when the word changed to lost.

"What's wrong?" Agumon questioned since he wished to know why she cut herself off.

"I lost him." She answered back with devastation evident in her voice.

"Looks like we're doing this the old-fashioned way." Logan sighed in annoyance.

"Well, that's horrible. Wah! Yoshi...we're going for a Digital Dive too." Marcus informed her while leaning on Agumon's head like an armrest. The group did not wait for an answer, and just headed for the machine.

"Guys, listen to me. It's dangerous." She informed them since she did not wish to loose her other friends.

"That doesn't matter. I'm not going to let Thomas finish the fight that I started." Marcus said to her since he was still wanting his fight with Drimogemon. She was about to counter, but another voice cut in before she had a chance to speak.

"Not as dangerous as leaving a teammate behind." Ash said back to her in a dead serious tone. That did make a logical sense, and it did reflect well with Ash's character. "First we need this machine to work." Ash said before adding, "Please, help us, help him." Seeing his expression and knowing who he was Yoshi nodded and went to work.

"I'm sending you five where we first lost Thomas' signal. So bring him back and don't do anything else, stupid. Okay?" Yoshino informed and questioned them.

"Understood." Logan nodded.

"Whatever, just do it." Marcus replied back to her since he was more concerned about the fight, and not just sitting around here – talking.

"Once you get to the other side I can't help you any more." Yoshi informed the away team. Ash instinctively spoke for the others.

"We understand. Don't worry. We will return home safely." He said to her with a smile which caused her to have some faith in what they were about to do.

"Just remember one thing, you guys, make sure that all of you are back at your point of entry by O500. Otherwise I won't be able to bring you back." She warned the search party, and despite some grumbling from the warrior the two understood.

"Transfer preparations at 80%." Lalamon informed as she did her part on another console.

"Digital Harmonizer aligning. Security code recognized." The girl of their team informed through her screen.

"I'm getting kind of nervous boss." Agumon admitted since he remembered of the chicken egg was transported through this same machine.

"Ah, don't be such a baby." Marcus replied back to him.

"Digi-Gate Open!" Lalamon called out causing the two of them looked up and saw a bright light that surrounded them.

"Are we sure that this is safe?" Ash questioned since he too was feeling a bit nervous about this whole thing.

"We're about to find out." Renamon said back to him as the light completely engulfed them.

"Begin transfer." Yoshi shouted out once her partner was finished counting down. The four of them were gone as was the light inside the machine. 'Good luck.' The one in pink thought as she looked at the now empty machine.

"Wow, the Digital World is really odd. The ground and the sky are upside-down." Ash informed as he and Marcus were looking at the landscape before them. At that moment the lizard and the fox came into view – also upside-down.

"Actually boss, you two are the ones that are upside-down." Agumon pointed out which made more sense to them.

'Not a bad angle to fall.' Renamon thought to herself as she allowed herself a moment to let her darker side enjoy the view. 'Stop it. You like him as a friend and nothing more.' Her logical side thought as she shook her head, and those thoughts away. Outside of her head the two of them got back to their feet, and were looking around.

"Our first time in the Digital World." Marcus called out as he and Ash realized that this was their first time seeing this place, and it overall seemed peaceful. There was a blue sky with some sparkles of some sort, the ground was different themes just like on Earth. There was still a few odd things, but overall it was still a relaxing location.

"Yeah. Ours too." Renamon informed their human partners which confused them somewhat.

"Wait a minute. You two are both Digimon." Marcus pointed out to the bit based wonders walking along side them.

"That's true, boss, but I've been at DATS as far back as I can remember." Agumon informed with Renamon nodding in agreement.

"You know. It doesn't seem that far off from our world." Marcus replied as he took interest in a leaf. Ash and Marcus were intrigued that this place was pretty much a mirror reflection of Earth.

"Ash, over here." The taller of the two Rookie levels called out causing the two to turn to them. She gestured for them to come to her which they did, and were greeted by another strange sight.

"What a funny looking river. Eh, boss?" Agumon stated to his employer as they all looked into the flowing water.

"I get it. Since we are in the Digital World then that means everything is digital." Ash stated with a sense of wonder in his voice.

"Ash, above us." Marcus called out which, for some reason, got Ash to get defensive.

"What is it?" Ash questioned as he scanned the land around him, but saw nothing wrong.

"Look a little higher." Marcus instructed which Ash followed causing him to add, "A flock of flying dragons." Ash chuckled at that as he relaxed a bit.

"You don't see that everyday." Ash pointed out.

"Or those Digimon either." Renamon said to them as she pointed at some tan furred heads with a shark fin of sorts sticking out of their foreheads were just hopping along.

"What are those?" Agumon questioned as they saw some sort of pink creature with a blue flower coming out of they're heads.

"Walking plants." Marcus answered back with a big smile on his face since he was starting to like this place more and more.

"Man, this place is amazing. Very peaceful." Ash said to the others as the four of them were simply walking along enjoying the overall sights of the place.

"Just remember, Ash. We're on a mission to find and fight that digital mole." Marcus pointed out as he saw this place as a means for a good fight, and nothing else. "There has to be a sign of him or a clue where he is going somewhere." He added, which did make sense.

"What about Thomas?" Agumon questioned since he did wish to uphold his request from Yoshi to find and bring Thomas back safely. None of them knew that Yoshi knew exactly the answer to such a question.

"Forget him. Let him figure out a way back on his own. I mean: what's stopping him from saying something like that?" Yoshi questioned to her partner as she sat at her station.

"Marcus would never say that." Lalamon pointed out as she had faith of the good in Marcus. Unbeknownst to her he was about to say just that until Ash slaps him in the back of the head before he had a chance to speak.

"What did you do that for?" Marcus shouted out since he did not appreciate getting Gibbs slapped.

"I know what you were about to say, so don't bother. Thomas is an important member of this team, and we will find him." Ash instructed, but saw that his old friend was not sold on the idea, so he tried a new angle. "Besides: can you imagine his embarrassment of a genius like him being saved by a pair of people that he thinks are beneath him." Ash offered and that seemed to get his attention.

"Well, what you waiting for Ash? Times a wastin'." He called out and took point of this little rescue mission. As they continued to walk the group were a little overwhelmed of how big this world was.

"Hey, what's that over there?" Renamon questioned while pointing at a location that seemed to look like the Roman Colosseum, but covered in ice.

"I have no idea, but it sure is shiny, like a diamond." Ash put in his two cents of what he was seeing.

"Pretty." Agumon pointed out before something similarly shiny caught his eye. The base of the object was flower-like in appearance, but the piece on top was not; it was a rapidly flashing computer or television screens.

"Let's try looking over there." Ash offered as he pointed to a rather large root which the others agreed to. Once they got there the team saw the location a bit better. Marcus than pointed out their next spot: a cliff-side footpath.

"All of this stuff seems pretty random." Marcus pointed out to the others even though he had a feeling that the others had already grasped that concept.

"I feel like I'm getting dejavu, boss." Agumon informed which confused his employer.

"You don't even know what that means." Marcus pointed out, but he himself knew what it meant, and it made no sense. Agumon and Renamon were born in DATS, so how would they know the lay of the land. All of a sudden both of the creatures stopped which caused the humans to stop as well.

"Something the matter, Renamon?" Ash questioned, and was a little concerned.

"It's Drimogemon." Logan answered.

"Looks like he found us instead." Marcus called out. The rescue party watched as he fell, and a cloud of dust appeared. Once it settled the team only saw the mole's lower half sticking out.

"I think he's stuck." Ash pointed out before hearing the beast start up his drill. "Nope. He's starting back up. He's fine." He added after hearing the creature start up again.

"Now, he's gone." Marcus pointed out as all they saw now was the hole he left behind.

"Hey, wait for us." He shouted out since his need of fighting this creature overrode his duty to rescue Thomas. With a simple shrug Ash followed after him with Renamon right behind him. Unknown to the rescue party Yoshi had lost their signals as well.

"I just lost Ash and Marcus' signal too." Yoshi informed her old friend even though she knew that her Digimon could see the 'Signal Lost' statement of the screen just as easily as she could.

'Guess I have no choice then.' Yoshi thought to herself, sighing. 'I'm gonna have to project myself into the Digital World.' Her astral form headed towards the area in the digital world they were last seen.

"He sure moves fast for a big guy." Marcus pointed out as they all continued to follow him.

"What do you expect from a creature that's whole purpose in life is digging in the ground." Renamon pointed out as she continued to keep her eyes on target. Eventually the creature broke through and they were in a big area, but they were still underground.

"Okay, let's go get him." Marcus instructed as he and Agumon gave chase.

"Marcus, something doesn't feel right about this. Marcus, wait up." Ash informed him, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. With nothing else to say he, Logan and Renamon followed after them. Soon, the five of them saw as he went back underground.

"He cut and ran again." Marcus complained as the opponent fled again.

"Marcus, we need to fall back now." Ash instructed to Marcus and his partner.

"Look, there he is." Marcus called out as the beast resurfaced only to disappear again. Drimogemon did this tactic several times over which got on Marcus' nerves. "Stand still so we can fight." He shouted turned and saw that the enemy was now standing before them with a big smile on his face. With that smile he slapping the ground.

"Thanks to all of his drilling this section has become unstable." Ash informed them before they fell into the rather large hole. Eventually they stopped falling, but were hurt.

"Man, that smarts." Marcus said as he rubbed his head.

"At least we had these soft rocks to break our fall." Agumon tried to bring up some good news to his employer and then saw Renamon holding Ash rather closely.

"Hey, Renamon, ride's over. You can let go of me now." Ash informed her even though he did enjoy the feeling of her fur on his face.

"Oh, right." She replied with a nervous tone in her voice. She then released her which he helped her to her feet, and once that was done a voice called out.

"You five?" The voice questioned causing all to turn and face the owner, and saw that it was their other targets: Thomas and Gaomon. The blue furred canine went to work getting them out the others decided to share notes.

"So, you five fell for Drimogemon's trap as well, huh?" Thomas questioned once he understood up to that point of their story. That is when it dawned on Marcus how these two got down here.

"Hold it! So, basically you were outsmarted by a giant gopher." Marcus pointed out causing the two of them to start laughing about how the genius didn't see this one coming.

"Ease up, Marcus. Think of it like this. If it wasn't for that trap then we would never have found Thomas or Gaomon." Ash informed which stopped the laughing fit.

"Sir, I have found a way out." Gaomon informed as he uncovered a large hole for them to use.

"Excellent. Well done, Gaomon." The partner of the boxing Digimon stated and turned to face the hole only to stop with a wince of pain.

"That leg doesn't look so good, bub." Logan pointed out.

"I'm fine. This barely qualifies as an injury." He responded to them and was about to be on his way, but felt two of the three hold him up with Logan to his right and Marcus to his left. "Let go. Whatever help you intend to offer I don't-." Thomas tried to argue that he was fine, but was cut off by Wolverine.

"Don't be stupid, pal. You can barely walk on that leg without wincing in pain." Logan shot back.

"Don't worry, Thomas. We can start arguing once we make it outside." Marcus vowed to him as they all walked through the various tunnels. Eventually the strain gets to Marcus since they hadn't made any headway. "Which tunnel do we go through now?" Marcus questioned as he saw all of the holes that surrounded them now.

Just then, Yoshi's projection appeared right in front of them.

"Yoshi, what are you doing here?" Ash questioned in confusion.

"I lost your signal and created a astral projection to look for you guys." Yoshi explained before noticing something.

"Thomas, you're hurt." She said, concerned.

"It's nothing, Yoshi." He brushed her statement off.

"Anyway, I'll see you guys back at headquarters." Yoshi's projection disappeared.

"Hey, why didn't you digivolve Gaomon and break out earlier?" Marcus questioned since he knew that he and Yoshi didn't have to summon a charge like the two of them did.

"If I could have I would have." He responded.

"I'll show you why Gaomon hasn't digivolved." Logan walked over to the wall and punched it, causing it to shake.

"Due to the number of holes here if Gaomon did digivolve, it would have caused the ceiling to collapse."

"That's true." Marcus said to his rival. The team traveled in silence until they came to a fork in the road. "I say this way." Marcus said to the others as he pointed to the left, but the person the two of them were carrying motioned his head to the right. Before Marcus and Thomas started a argument the fourth human called out.

"Wait, Marcus. Do you see that?" Logan asked, noticing a coin on the cave floor.

"A coin." Marcus blinked.

"Yeah. I heard Thomas place it there to make sure we don't go down that tunnel again, right?"

"You're right." Thomas responded, but before they left to the right Ash went over to the coin, picked it up, scribbled something on the ground, walked to the others, gave the coin back, and the two continued on their way out of this twisted maze. As they went on Agumon's resolve about leaving was beginning to wain.

"Hey, boss, when are we going to get out of here, already!" Agumon shouted out in anger since they were no where near the exit. His response came in the form of Renamon Gibbs Slapping him. "I'll be quiet." He replied after the feeling of paw meeting skull.

"Worry not, Agumon. I know that we are almost out of here. Just remain positive, and we can handle anything." Ash informed the one behind him with a smile on his face.

"Being positive has nothing to do with getting out of here; however we are heading in the right direction." Thomas informed them as he still used the ways of logic rather than heart.

"You know: you can be a real buzz-kill sometimes." Marcus responded to him. Thomas just reflected the comment back at him. As the explorers continued on their journey the others were still trying to find them.

"Grr! Haven't you found those Digivice signals yet?!" Commander Sampson shouted at the four that were called in at this hour to run the monitors.

"It's taking longer than anticipated, sir." Miki responded as she continued to type out information on her console.

"There's too much static interference." Megumi tried to reason to her boss as she tried to do the same thing as he human partner was doing.

"No excuses. Hurry." Sampson ordered. This left Yoshi and Lalamon to just stand there and to hope that the others will return soon. Back on the other side the team made it to a clearing of sorts, but they all stood at a cliff with no way down.

"How are we going to get down from up here?" Marcus questioned out loud as he looked down at how far the ground was.

'I wonder if there are any tunnel based dogs that prefer to be underground, and if so will they obsess over Renamon's Diamond Storm attack.' Ash thought as he felt as though he has met such beasts.

"We have no choice. We have to find another way down." Thomas instructed to the others before turning around and wincing in pain.

"Sir?" Gaomon questioned after hearing that groan.

"Is everything okay, Thomas?" Ash questioned with genuine concern in his voice.

"I'm fine." He responded with a rather harsh tone of voice which caused the brown haired one to shrug in indifference. All of a sudden they heard footsteps coming their way.

"Boss, it's Drimogemon." Agumon informed the others at the oncoming creature.

"Alright. This is a one in a million chance, Agumon. Let's go get him." Marcus instructed as his adrenaline to finding a fight was getting the better of him.

"Hello, Earth to Marcus: remember what I said about the caves being unstable." Thomas instructed since he knew a Marcus style fight would decimate the entire field around them.

"Then we'll just have to fight without digivolving." Marcus said back to him with determination in his voice.

"Think about what you're saying. He has the advantage down here. Without digivolving we can't win." Thomas said back to him since he knew that three Rookies couldn't take down a Champion.

"So, what do you suggest we do?" Ash offered since he wanted to hear what Thomas had in mind with dealing with this problem.

"Let him go past us. We have to make it to the surface first." Thomas informed them, and the 'brothers' looked at one another of listening to his plan.

"I have a faster idea. Marcus, grab Thomas. We'll be taking the shortcut to the surface." Ash instructed as he continued to keep a silent eye on the tunnel beast. The brawn grabbed the brains, and made it to the cliff's edge.

"A real champion doesn't run and hide. Let's meet the enemy head on." Marcus said to him after grabbing Thomas and standing at the edge.

"Stop thinking with your fists." Thomas tried to reason, but it didn't seem to have any effect on either of them.

"Everyone, jump now while he's right under us." Ash ordered and did just that with the others soon following after him: Marcus, Thomas, Logan, Agumon, Gaomon, and Renamon.

"Now, grab a good chunk of fur and hold on tight. I'll go see if I can talk him into taking us home." Ash instructed and did just that not knowing that their right felt him climbing upward.

'What's that on my back?' Drimogemon thought before looking up and seeing Ash from Earth. After some awkward silence the creature bellowed out in alarm and started up his drill.

"He's going to make another cave." Thomas informed even thought he had a feeling that this was exactly as Ash was hoping for.

"Time to try something I've seen in a movie once." Ash shouted out and pulled on the beast's fur causing him to turn and tunnel in a direction he didn't want to. After several moments they broke through to the surface.

"Daylight!" Agumon shouted out with joy in his voice since he was so happy to see the sky again.

'Did Ash plan this all along?' Thomas thought to himself with disbelief in the forefront of his mind, but was stopped by his partner's voice.

"Sir, we should really get off." Gaomon offered as he still tried to hold onto the fur with his red boxing gloves.

"Not yet." Ash said back to the dog before adding. "If we fight him here he'll just tunnel away again. We need an element he can't tunnel through." That did seem like a sound plan to go with, but none of them knew the lay of the land well enough to guide him to.

"I know just the place. Force Drimogemon to head towards the Colosseum we passed earlier." Logan stated with determination before Ash directed Drimogemon towards the Colosseum.

"It's made of ice!" Thomas shouted out in alarm since he did not expect them to come up with a plan that actually worked. "Of course, Drimogemon can't dig his way out of this." He added once they all made it inside.

"It's fighting time again!" Ash/Marcus shouted out before giving their opponent a major backache and headache with their punches and then jumped off.

"At last! Time to fight!" Agumon shouted out with great happiness.

"DNA Charge!" Marcus shouted out first.

"Agumon digivolve to..." Agumon shouted out before feeling the energy course through him causing him to change into, "Greymon!"

"DNA Charge!" Ash shouted out next.

"Renamon digivolve to..." Renamon shouted out as she felt Ash's power course through her causing her to shout out, "Kyubimon!"

"Gaomon digivolve to..." The boxer called out once he felt his partner's power inside of him. "Aquilamon!"

"Guys, look, is Drimogemon...seizing?" Ash questioned once he, and the others saw that he was shaking rapidly before them.

"I don't think a Digimon can seize in the same way we do. I believe it's something more dangerous." Thomas informed them which made them a bit nervous. Back on Earth Yoshi and the others were still searching for them.

"Static removal at 82 percent." Miki informed to the others.

"Monitor restored. Begin scanning." Megumi informed and brought the monitor up and they were relieved at what they all saw.

"Ah, they're all safe!" Yoshi shouted out with a happy smile on her face.

"Wait a second!" Miki shouted out before hitting the alarm to get everyone's attention.

"What is going on?" Kudamon questioned since he knew that the alarm meant nothing good.

"Digimon signature, and it's enlarging rapidly." Miki informed them

"It's not one of ours. It's something totally different." Megumi informed them as a means to tell them that their freak out is not paranoia.

"Drimogemon." Cyclops spoke next. "He must be digivolving."

"Let's see what Dexter has to say." Ash informed as he pulled out his device.

"Digimon, a Digi-Egg of Knowledge Digivolution. Digmon is said to be the swiftest tunnel Digimon both underground and above the ground." The device started to explain that much, but Marcus only saw that has a greater challenge.

"This just got a lot more interesting." Damon shouted out and tried to attack, but was slapped away for his troubles. Seeing this angered Greymon, so he too went on the attack. "Did it work?" Marcus questioned after he saw that his employee made a direct hit. Ash consulted with his device:

"Due to the durability of his armor Digmon is highly resistant to standard flame attacks." The device informed them a little too late.

"Blast Laser!" Aquilamon shouted out and attacked, but he dodged out of the way and countered with one of his own.

"Gold Rush!" The attack hit the eagle hard.

"Fox Tail Inferno!" Kyubimon called out, but the attack was dodged and she too was slapped away.

"Ash, Marcus remember out first fight with Drimogemon." Thomas stated to the others who nodded in confusion. "Aquilamon's Blast Laser, Greymon's Nova Blast, and Kyubimon's Fox Tail Inferno all canceled each other out."

"Still not following." Marcus admitted since he did not know what the genius was thinking as he brought up that little blemish in their fight record.

"You're wanting to combine our attacks against this guy." Ash offered as his view on it.

"Exactly, but our timing has to be perfect." Thomas informed the others.

"You three fall back to us." Marcus shouted out to the others which they followed orders with Greymon standing in between the two canines. After a stare down between the two sides Digmon tried to make his move, but the others were faster on the draw.

"Nova Blast!"

"Blast Laser!"

"Dragon Wheel!"

"The opposing attacks didn't cancel each other out. They fused together instead. With their powers combined I wonder how much the strength of their attacks increase by?" Thomas questioned since this seemed like a very promising discovery.

"Who cares about all of that. All that matters is that we're winning. Attack!" Marcus shouted out to the others which they did just that. After a few more moments the armor fell apart, and the enemy was defeated leaving behind what could only be the Digi-Egg of Knowledge and a white egg with purple circles on it.

"Egg-selent work, you three." Ash shouted out to the others causing them to give their interpretation of a good nature smile at Ash's choice of words in this situation.

"Get it? Cause he's an egg, you see?" Marcus questioned to Thomas before laughing about it. With nothing else needed to be said the team de-digivolved and headed out while leaving the eggs behind.

"Back in the cave. When we all jumped onto Drimogemon. You planned for him to dig to the surface and head to the ice arena, didn't you?" Thomas questioned to Ash since that thought still needed some sort of closure.

"I knew that we needed to fight the tunneler on an even field, and once I saw the ice field I knew that it would make the perfect spot, but getting from underground to there was all luck I'm afraid to say." Ash informed him with an honest face and honest tone.

'He's passive, but he knows how to throw a punch. He wants to find a way to deal with the Digimon that doesn't involve fighting, but he knows what to do in a big battle. He is one unusual character. The same for Marcus; I can't analyze either of these men with my intellect. How do you make the illogical logical.' Thomas thought it over before speaking out loud. "Wait a minute you two." He said causing them to stop and let go of the big brain for a moment. He held up his fist, and almost instantly the two knew what he wanted.

'We're a team, Thomas." Marcus informed as he fist bumped with him. Ash on the other hand put their fists into hands with their palms face down, and then he put his hand on top of theirs.

"Welcome to the group, Thomas." Ash informed him with a kind smile on his face which got a nod out of Thomas. With nothing else needed to be said they resumed their walk back to the drop zone.

"Looks like the boss got a new employee." Agumon shouted out with a smile of his own.

"Let's not push it." Thomas countered the praise with a statement of his own. They all dreaded going back because they all knew that Commander Sampson was going to not be happy with them. The six got back and stood along side Yoshino and Lalamon to await what their base leader had to say.

"You fools!" Sampson shouted out and then let his Digital Monster have a word in.

"You were able to make it back this time, but did you think of what would have happened if you had failed. There's so many more pitfalls you three don't know about the Digital World." The 'scarf' informed them and then let his human speak.

"As members of this organization you must follow the rules. I have only one more thing to say to you three..." He informed them and then let the sweat a bit before finishing with, "Well done. It's good to have you safely back home." This caught them all off guard, but they were all grateful of hearing that.

"Sir!" The six of them shouted out with a salute: happy of the experiences shared this day, and that their boss was concerned for their well being.
